02:12 schestowitz-TR; as of one hour ago, lunduke is uploading his old videos to youtube.... en masse

07:00 techrightssec2; :(
07:00 techrightssec2; I suppose many will be demonetized en masse for having the cheek to contain
07:00 techrightssec2; the string "Linux" in the title.
07:13 schestowitz-TR; I wonder how that happened
07:13 schestowitz-TR; and I did not even notice

08:35 psydruid; Is that because Google wants people to use ChromeOS over GNU/Linux?
08:35 psydruid; And rather Windows or macOS over GNU/Linux too?
08:35 psydruid; Because big money loves other big money?
08:36 techrightssec2; maybe the authorities don't want "too many" people to control their PCs and their files
08:36 techrightssec2; use clown storage
08:36 techrightssec2; no kodi
08:36 techrightssec2; embrace DRMa
08:36 techrightssec2; and make sure all people are empty vessels, "consumers" in socially CONTROLLED "media"
08:45 psydruid; It's not going to work in the end
08:46 psydruid; But the irony is that all the hardware that gives people the freedom they used to have comes out of China these days
08:46 psydruid; As in both chips and boards
09:03 schestowitz-TR; in many aspects, china has been world leader for years
09:03 schestowitz-TR; even financially it has been getting there
09:03 schestowitz-TR; us likes to fake the worth of its companies and "markets"
09:03 schestowitz-TR; while some people buy $50m homes
09:03 schestowitz-TR; yards away from trailer parks
09:04 schestowitz-TR; of people who barely survive and die from simple diseases
09:04 schestowitz-TR; in terms of military, russia can take on usa already
09:04 schestowitz-TR; but only if it brings out the nukes
09:04 schestowitz-TR; same for chin
09:04 schestowitz-TR; *china

10:30 psydruid; the megalomania of M$ has no bounds
10:30 psydruid; I don't know of any other company in IT that wants to be everything to everyone
10:30 psydruid; except for the rest of MAGMA
10:31 psydruid; as if the world will come crashing down if they don't dominate everything
10:31 psydruid; or at least try to
10:43 schestowitz-TR; MAGMA :-)
10:43 schestowitz-TR; I saw others using it
10:44 schestowitz-TR; but you coined it
10:44 schestowitz-TR; afaik
10:58 psydruid; I did
11:02 schestowitz-TR; GAFAM was made up by me and Assange
11:03 schestowitz-TR; after some stupid european politicians said "GAFA"
11:18 psydruid; with all these breaches and ransomware attacks you wonder for how long M$ will stay entrenched
11:19 psydruid; any other company with their track record would have gone out of business a long time ago
11:20 *DaemonFC has quit (connection closed)
12:00 techrightssec2; There has been yet another corruption scandal in the EU Parliament.
12:00 techrightssec2; Considering that corruption is yet another threat to actual democracy,
12:00 techrightssec2; the same could be said of the corruption coming from and via the European
12:00 techrightssec2; Patent Office.
12:00 schestowitz-TR; germany will defend it regardless
12:00 schestowitz-TR; cash cow and all
12:01 techrightssec2; Yes, Germany's involvment there and its entanglement with M$ is part of the
12:01 techrightssec2; corruption pattern.
12:02 schestowitz-TR; one word: munich
12:02 schestowitz-TR; they even play off berlin bs munich
12:02 schestowitz-TR; as hq
12:02 schestowitz-TR; apropos bribes, see my latest 3 posts in TR
12:02 schestowitz-TR; very dodgy
12:02 techrightssec2; One point to remember is that m$, and thus perhaps sw patents, is not a matter
12:02 techrightssec2; of technical decisions, but one of political decisions and specifically about
12:02 techrightssec2; control and surveillance a la CIA and NSA.
12:02 techrightssec2; checking
12:04 techrightssec2; gemini.techrights.org/2022/12/13/sirius-open-source-or-foxconn/
12:04 techrightssec2; gemini.techrights.org/2022/12/12/era-of-virtual-company/
12:04 techrightssec2; gemini.techrights.org/2022/12/12/sirius-open-source-living-wage/
12:04 techrightssec2; ?
12:04 schestowitz-TR; yes, the text should be sufficient
12:06 schestowitz-TR; people who point out espionage aspects of "clown" computing are subjected to name-calling
12:06 schestowitz-TR; even if they have a phd and a long track record researching this
12:07 schestowitz-TR; also a former colleagu, treated similarly
12:07 schestowitz-TR; along with his german partner
12:07 schestowitz-TR; circa 2012
12:07 schestowitz-TR; he knoew about echelon and all
12:07 schestowitz-TR; that was before nsa leaks and back when clown computing was still young
12:08 techrightssec2; Yep, ad hominen works despite being a logical fallacy, that's why microsoft's
12:08 techrightssec2; own Lennart Poettering used it as a backup to the appeal to novelty fallacy.
12:08 techrightssec2; He had nothing to offer except logical fallacies in regards to systemd.
12:09 mjg59_; Microsoft's actually at the forefront of making it possible to use Azure without having to trust Microsoft
12:09 schestowitz-TR; lol
12:09 schestowitz-TR; in my reading lists I still have some PDFs
12:10 schestowitz-TR; but rarely a time to reopen, for now...
12:10 schestowitz-TR; I still have 60,000+ unread comments in joindiaspora
12:10 schestowitz-TR; in my email box (no need for the site to be online
12:10 schestowitz-TR; social control media is like that
12:10 schestowitz-TR; so anyway, I still have some WBer story about companies that cancel people as a service
12:10 schestowitz-TR; but no hard evidence or material
12:10 schestowitz-TR; just word of mouth from insider
12:19 psydruid; Microsoft is at the forefront of stealing your data from Azure and using it for advertising
12:23 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft is at the forefront of hiring phonies to do marketing for them
12:23 schestowitz-TR; 'secure' boot
12:23 schestowitz-TR; 'confidential' computing
12:23 schestowitz-TR; pluton
12:23 schestowitz-TR; azuresurveillance
12:23 schestowitz-TR; asurveillance :-)
12:24 schestowitz-TR; DoD: give MOAR money to MSFT
12:24 schestowitz-TR; we LOVE this data-harvesting
12:24 schestowitz-TR; also pop a 10,000,000,000 dollar bailout to Jeff bezos... as gratitude for "Alexa"
12:25 mjg59_; The entire point of this technology is that Microsoft (and anyone else who implements it) provides a service that they have no insight into
12:25 mjg59_; I do understand scepticism of that! But it would help a great deal if you could express that through technical criticism
12:26 schestowitz-TR; if I didn't know you since a decade ago, I'd say we have a Microsoft shill in IRC now
12:26 mjg59_; Google and Amazon are in the process of deploying the same tech
12:26 schestowitz-TR; two heads of the same HYDRA(TM)
12:26 mjg59_; It's not a Microsoft-only thing, they're just ahead in terms of implementation atm
12:26 mjg59_; But anyone else could build the same
12:27 schestowitz-TR; I'm sure you'll promote illusion of "privacy" for them
12:27 schestowitz-TR; because you did this before
12:27 schestowitz-TR; and the media will go rah rah about clown "savings"
12:27 schestowitz-TR; and "confidentiality"
12:27 mjg59_; AMD's SEV allows the creation of VMs that are secured by encryption keys that exist only in the CPU, not even visible to the hypervisor
12:27 schestowitz-TR; "give us all your national health and patient records next"
12:27 schestowitz-TR; GAFAM, Oracle, IBM
12:27 mjg59_; The contents of RAM are encrypted, the hypervisor can only see the encrypted content
12:28 schestowitz-TR; you do not see the machines
12:28 schestowitz-TR; you do not control the machines
12:28 schestowitz-TR; you do not own the machine
12:28 mjg59_; And there's an attestation path that allows you to prove that they're in this state
12:28 schestowitz-TR; you have NO control over what they do
12:28 mjg59_; So no, you don't see them, control them or own them
12:28 schestowitz-TR; you do
12:28 schestowitz-TR; for medical data for sure
12:28 schestowitz-TR; anyway, I'm out
12:28 schestowitz-TR; this is going nowhere
12:28 schestowitz-TR; you promote NSA talking points
12:29 mjg59_; But if your VM attests to being in this state, the cloud provider has no ability to do anything to your VM other than just stop it running
12:29 mjg59_; They can't see the data in it
12:29 mjg59_; I'd recommend reading the spec! It's kind of complicated but worthwhile
12:31 mjg59_; You still need to trust AMD, but that would be true if you had AMD servers of your own
12:37 schestowitz-TR; lol, home office seems to have opened duplicate files
12:37 schestowitz-TR; not just double-charged
12:38 schestowitz-TR; if they don't get very basic things right, then can you trust them for more critical things
12:38 schestowitz-TR; like brexit or war politics?
12:38 techrightssec2; Is there a volume discount? :)

12:39 schestowitz-TR; a month late they corrected the charging error
12:39 schestowitz-TR; but only after some nagging from lawyer
12:39 schestowitz-TR; "coalition of chaos" :)
