11:10 schestowitz-TR; commondreams needs to focus on class issues
11:10 schestowitz-TR; not BS and partisan nonsense
11:10 schestowitz-TR; but they've increasingly done this in recetnt years
11:10 schestowitz-TR; usually I just skip
11:10 schestowitz-TR; seems like one very effective way to change the subject and re-divert rage
11:11 Techrights-sec; yes, many things are used as a distraction from class issues
11:12 schestowitz-TR; if this worsens in commondreams, we'll dump them
11:12 schestowitz-TR; counterpunch and scheer, to their credit, don't touch this toxic crap
11:12 schestowitz-TR; they stay on course
11:12 schestowitz-TR; let mental issues be treated by professionals
11:12 schestowitz-TR; social control media execerbates this
11:13 Techrights-sec; ok let me know if/when to drop it; also if there are replacement feeds they
11:13 Techrights-sec; can be added any time as well
11:15 schestowitz-TR; tomshardware covers a lot of rapi, BUT:
11:15 schestowitz-TR; a) it seems to posta TON of CRAP/webspam
11:15 schestowitz-TR; b) even their rap coverage seems like webspam some of the time
11:15 schestowitz-TR; *raspi coverage
11:15 schestowitz-TR; telesur can be OK at times, but I only see that when I filter for particular topics
11:17 Techrights-sec; ack
11:17 Techrights-sec; somehow that reminds me of the massive censorship going on at Reddit, which
11:17 Techrights-sec; I never visit but read about. The general tech public seems to respond that
11:17 Techrights-sec; there is no censorship there because Reddit itself says so. Yet every week or
11:17 Techrights-sec; so there are blog posts about people geting posts or whole accounts closed bu
11:17 Techrights-sec; ^by
11:17 Techrights-sec; by the admins there and that even founders of some "subreddits" get the boot
11:17 Techrights-sec; for political reasons regarding technology and software freedom, despite
11:17 Techrights-sec; not violating the terms of service. When that happens, the "subreddit" gets
11:17 Techrights-sec; handed over to microsofters, if they haven't gained control by other means
11:17 Techrights-sec; before that.
11:18 schestowitz-TR; their "Linux" sub censors Microsoft critics
11:18 schestowitz-TR; it seems hostile towards actual advocates of Linux
11:18 schestowitz-TR; reddit needs to die, maybe after twitter
11:18 schestowitz-TR; twitter started spamming me, so they probably bleed at the moment
11:18 schestowitz-TR; profusely
11:19 Techrights-sec; Too many naively think that "/r/Linux" is about Linux.
11:19 Techrights-sec; Yes, that's one of the ones which is run by microsofters
11:19 Techrights-sec; Reddit won't die because it is an essential propaganda site used for controling
11:19 Techrights-sec; the foolish
11:21 schestowitz-TR; commondreams (truthout reprints a lot of it) is still predominantly OK
11:21 schestowitz-TR; but sometimes companies like twitter or some publishers get infikltrated
11:21 schestowitz-TR; by people whose goals are not comms or journalism
11:21 schestowitz-TR; mozille, LF, EFF, Red Hat... many more, not the point
11:21 schestowitz-TR; so then the veer off in some private "jihads" of staff members
11:21 schestowitz-TR; who utilise these as vessels of infleunce
11:21 schestowitz-TR; iirc, netflix had to suspend some staff foir trying to censor
11:22 schestowitz-TR; a black comedian
11:22 schestowitz-TR; it was not to their taste
11:22 Techrights-sec; There are fewer avenues for new (i.e. young) people to gain access to information as opposed to disinformation or misinformation.
11:22 Techrights-sec; ack
11:28 schestowitz-TR; there may be a sea of change ahead
11:28 schestowitz-TR; I was gonna paste some links here for support
11:28 schestowitz-TR; based on today's batch
11:28 schestowitz-TR; but it's not important
11:28 schestowitz-TR; GAFAM is not sustainable
11:28 schestowitz-TR; I think we'll need to rejig the automated links soon, I have more capacity now (fewer Gulag, no social control media... sometimes I still
11:28 schestowitz-TR; use Gulag search for some technical errors)
11:28 schestowitz-TR; hopefully we can move tuxmachines over to the better stack very soon
11:29 Techrights-sec; ack
11:29 Techrights-sec; have you written a short e-mail to the site's maintainers about suggesting
11:29 Techrights-sec; that they regain focus. It takes only a few lines and *might* have a positive
11:29 Techrights-sec; influence
11:29 Techrights-sec; "if you don't ask, you don't get"
11:30 schestowitz-TR; tiktok=china learnes western narcotgics (addiction), makes a cheaper imitation
11:30 Techrights-sec; tiktok is a brainwashing service
11:30 Techrights-sec; dogma transmission for a hostile foreign entity
11:33 schestowitz-TR; opium wars turned around, back on the perpetrator
11:33 schestowitz-TR; china, to its credit, mostly blocked or defanged westen social control media
11:33 schestowitz-TR; now the west tries to "curtail" tiktok
11:33 schestowitz-TR; trying to turn another nation into dopes
11:33 schestowitz-TR; or hostile for regime change
11:33 schestowitz-TR; if china attacked guam, I think the young troops stationed there would take videos
11:33 schestowitz-TR; of the bombing with their "smart" phone and upload these for "likes"
11:33 schestowitz-TR; instead of fighting back
11:33 schestowitz-TR; "1500 likes, that that, xi!"
11:34 Techrights-sec; kids probably have many more times the contact hour with tiktok than with their
11:34 Techrights-sec; own parents and siblings
11:34 Techrights-sec; the phones are radio beacons for incoming strikes
11:34 Techrights-sec; the presence of the phones helps locate, track, and target whole units based
11:34 Techrights-sec; on a single individual carrying such a device
11:36 schestowitz-TR; reportedly happens in UA and RU already
11:36 schestowitz-TR; you can even assess troop density for "maximal impact"
11:36 schestowitz-TR; or make missles that scan for signal strength to optimise the calibration
11:36 schestowitz-TR; if the missles aren't too fast for that (can use drones to guise the incoming missles, as happens in gaza)
11:41 schestowitz-TR; that tiny quite dorne outside thw window hs no weapons
11:41 schestowitz-TR; but ir registers where you are for a warplane with 500KG payloads
11:41 schestowitz-TR; there should be a slogan in bases,
11:41 schestowitz-TR; "loose smart phones sink ships"
11:41 schestowitz-TR; (lips)
11:41 schestowitz-TR; btw, yesterday at work some shitty client sent some login with 2FA
11:41 schestowitz-TR; I cannot "Scan" "QR codes"
11:41 schestowitz-TR; so I got into a technical argument about how it's security theatre
11:41 schestowitz-TR; and mebrassessed a clown-loving colleague
11:41 schestowitz-TR; lol, he thinks encrypting a file system in amazon is "security"
11:41 schestowitz-TR; AWS: pinky promise ;-)
11:41 schestowitz-TR; "are you a pedo?"
11:41 Techrights-sec; ack

11:45 schestowitz-TR; when I joined the company 11.5 years ago I defaulted to pgp sign and sometimes enrypt
11:45 schestowitz-TR; they told me not to use that, lol
11:45 schestowitz-TR; but not for the same reasons
11:45 schestowitz-TR; some people don't know how mail gets relayed
11:45 schestowitz-TR; esp. if plain text
11:45 schestowitz-TR; no matter startls/ssl
11:45 schestowitz-TR; the nodes see everything
11:45 Techrights-sec; anything hosted elsewhere is not "end to end" encrypted
11:45 Techrights-sec; same for extensions ofthat remote hosting, such as javascript-laden web pages
11:45 Techrights-sec; those are only using a bit of the RAM and CPU of the client but otherwise
11:45 Techrights-sec; fully an outgrowth of the remote system
11:45 Techrights-sec; ack
11:47 schestowitz-TR; mail encryption in a Web browser CAN work
11:47 schestowitz-TR; BUT
11:47 schestowitz-TR; only if you use some browser plugin
11:47 schestowitz-TR; and you trust
11:47 schestowitz-TR; a) the browser
11:47 schestowitz-TR; b) the plugin
11:47 schestowitz-TR; c) the OS data routes
11:47 schestowitz-TR; and that's quite a lot
11:47 schestowitz-TR; for password promprts in pgp a lot of stuff gets locked to avoid input stealing
11:47 Techrights-sec; mail cannot be encrypted in a web browser with any level of privacy
11:47 Techrights-sec; d) the remote site serving up the javascript
11:48 schestowitz-TR; assume no JS
11:48 schestowitz-TR; assume it's just some page serving you an ecrypted blob
11:48 schestowitz-TR; and lets you handle that at your end entirely
11:49 schestowitz-TR; we're heading off to buy food in a bit, nice sunny day
11:50 Techrights-sec; ack
11:52 schestowitz-TR; our weather is seldom extreme
11:52 schestowitz-TR; floods are rare too and high-risk homes pay higher insurance for that
11:52 schestowitz-TR; thankfully no outages since that very rare incident we had
11:52 schestowitz-TR; and the router is great for uptime since they swapped it across 18 months ago
11:52 Techrights-sec; ... for now :P

11:55 schestowitz-TR; rianne has been watering the garden almost every day lately
11:55 schestowitz-TR; to keep old plants from dying
11:55 schestowitz-TR; little rainfall would mean them advising us not to water anything
11:55 schestowitz-TR; for a lack of water in the reservoir
11:55 schestowitz-TR; it happened last year and in 2018
11:55 schestowitz-TR; maybe more
11:55 schestowitz-TR; but nothing between 2000-2018 iirc
11:55 schestowitz-TR; so it seems like a new issue
11:55 schestowitz-TR; in london they have a worse crisis
11:55 schestowitz-TR; I saw an article about it a week ago
11:55 schestowitz-TR; when we're back form cycling there should be new covid-19 numbers
11:55 schestowitz-TR; billbc writes an article about covid maybe once in 3 days

14:44 schestowitz-TR; I can find yoiu the url about covid and how it had doubled in usa
14:44 schestowitz-TR; but I think it'll be worse here
14:44 schestowitz-TR; with bicycles and no roads/pedestrians keeping distance is easier
14:44 schestowitz-TR; still lots of empty homes on the way there
14:44 schestowitz-TR; I reckon the bubble is like a dam, waitint to break open
14:44 schestowitz-TR; estate bubble
14:45 Techrights-sec; ack
14:45 Techrights-sec; people are getting it multiple times, each time losing some functinoality
14:45 Techrights-sec; permanently
14:46 schestowitz-TR; maybe you read in irc logs what it did to my sister
14:46 schestowitz-TR; she still has it
14:46 schestowitz-TR; she is 25
14:46 schestowitz-TR; triple-vaxxed
14:46 schestowitz-TR; and so a-holes asked her why she was still wearing a mask
14:46 schestowitz-TR; like now it's something that's unsocial to do
14:46 schestowitz-TR; we need to go to the bank this month
14:50 Techrights-sec; masks are a medical decision, but everything in the US is a political
14:50 Techrights-sec; flag instead
14:57 schestowitz-TR; banks are a place where you show your id and take many paper notes for the year or 6 months
14:57 schestowitz-TR; most of the other activity is not needed because you give a series of numbers to companies and then
14:57 schestowitz-TR; they leave you alone
14:57 schestowitz-TR; rianne sends some money using "web sites"
14:57 schestowitz-TR; banks now offer far fewer services but the charges are the same
14:57 schestowitz-TR; so they make a killing
14:57 schestowitz-TR; and since interest rates are so low they risk making themselves worthless
14:57 schestowitz-TR; pension plans have become gambling houses
14:57 schestowitz-TR; turning people'\s very long-term savinngs into collaterial to fake the "health"
14:57 schestowitz-TR; of "the market"
14:57 schestowitz-TR; which just pits more money into the casino
14:57 schestowitz-TR; ----------------------------------------------------
14:58 Techrights-sec; there are no savings because service charges are so high and interest rates so
14:58 Techrights-sec; low
14:59 schestowitz-TR; in case the pension plans go under and inflation still soars, I reckon I can do part time at the university
14:59 schestowitz-TR; to make up for any deficits
14:59 Techrights-sec; yes, many activities are now just legalized gambling and, like all gambling,

15:08 schestowitz-TR; to make up for any deficits
15:08 schestowitz-TR; speculations, derivatives, borrowings based on false assumptions
15:08 schestowitz-TR; or giving loans based on money that the lender does not have
15:08 schestowitz-TR; this won't end well
15:08 schestowitz-TR; but then again, I want to reduce participation in such a systemt
15:08 schestowitz-TR; the simplest way is to reduce spendings to a bare minumimum
15:08 schestowitz-TR; like anti-war protestants (not religion) who tried to reduce how much tax they pais as this
15:08 schestowitz-TR; would reduce contribution to wars etc.
15:09 *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
15:18 schestowitz-TR; 1) a lot of people live in debt, so they have no choice. They overspend to ovecompensate for insecurities
15:18 schestowitz-TR; and peer pressure from media and social control 'media' plays a role (need a new cars etc.)
15:18 schestowitz-TR; 2) OTOH, many people work too much (or have too many kids) and then live in fear of running our of money
15:18 schestowitz-TR; so they stop living and only work to death
15:18 schestowitz-TR; or un til they are too old to enjot the time they have when pension age is reached

15:30 Techrights-sec; Misleading and misdirection, for sure.
15:31 schestowitz-TR; he repeats the microsoft talking points
15:31 schestowitz-TR; worthless to say the least
15:31 schestowitz-TR; not worth spending time on
15:31 schestowitz-TR; he wasn't always this bad
15:31 Techrights-sec; He's long gone. The only thing that I wonder about is how they got hold of him
15:31 Techrights-sec; a few years back and appear to have broken him so badly that he is willing
15:31 Techrights-sec; to bleat M$ talking points in print under his own name. :( :( :(
15:33 schestowitz-TR; it would be a waste of time to rebut all the lies
15:33 schestowitz-TR; and doing a video about it later today would only give visibility to it
15:33 schestowitz-TR; afaik, it has not yet earned much views
15:33 schestowitz-TR; better keep it like that
15:33 schestowitz-TR; I see SN is also happy to amplify broanshirts

15:43 schestowitz-TR; Maybe FSF is afriad of more brigading and mobbing again
15:43 schestowitz-TR; for calling out crime
15:43 schestowitz-TR; like the GPL violations
15:43 schestowitz-TR; so the FSF became numb
15:43 schestowitz-TR; paralysed
15:44 Techrights-sec; The FSF has appeared so quiet and inactive this year that they seem defunct.
15:44 Techrights-sec; I'm not sure I will donate later this year when it is time again.
15:46 schestowitz-TR; SJVN has in effect joined the Microsoft mob attacking GNU/Linux, saying... no it's OK... nothing going on here, spread your legs wider, let Microsoft do its thing http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/166960#comment-34323

15:52 Techrights-sec; yes he has been actually working against FOSS for a while
15:52 Techrights-sec; It's tragic because it effectively burns up all the good work he did over the
15:52 Techrights-sec; earlier decades and when he sets down his pen for good, if he can ever retire,
15:52 Techrights-sec; he will be remembered only as an M$ shill and apologist
15:53 schestowitz-TR; the important thing is that years ago, years after rianne, I came to accept spamnil and sjvn had defected and they are not coming back
15:53 schestowitz-TR; with phoronix it happened in february
15:53 schestowitz-TR; I gave him a day to explain himself first
15:53 Techrights-sec; I *never* trusted spamnil. Something was just not right about his early work
15:53 Techrights-sec; though I could not lay a finger on precisely what.
15:56 schestowitz-TR; I am not familiar with what he wrote in india\
15:56 schestowitz-TR; but he told me he had been reading BN
15:56 schestowitz-TR; I think he lacks any real background in both CS and journalism
15:56 schestowitz-TR; he's a cheap rep

16:14 Techrights-sec; There was something lacking in what he wrote in the early days.
16:14 Techrights-sec; Anyway it does not matter, he has been uncovered as a shill.

16:17 schestowitz-TR; enough for me re microsoft apologists
16:17 schestowitz-TR; distracts me from things we can be more constructive with :-)
16:17 schestowitz-TR; anyway, spamnil is doing clickfraud now
16:17 schestowitz-TR; I can habitually remind people of it
16:17 schestowitz-TR; but generally not worth the effor
16:17 schestowitz-TR; tbtw, jperlow
16:17 schestowitz-TR; was involved in that "jobs report"
16:17 schestowitz-TR; so still in LF
