04:02 schestowitz-TR2; French study links Covid-19 to sharp rise in depression among young people https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20230214-french-study-links-covid-19-to-sharp-rise-in-depression-among-young-people

04:06 schestowitz-TR2; of course the system and social controlmedia have nothing to do with it....
04:44 techrightssec; Many journalists are probably addicted, both personally and professionally, to
04:44 techrightssec; abusing social control media. Therefore they are most unlikely to speak against
04:44 techrightssec; it no matter how much trouble it causes in society.

05:15 techrights[sec];
05:15 techrights[sec]; Processong feeds goes more quickly now, with a lot less clicking and tabbing
05:15 techrights[sec]; The time taken is less as is the cognitive effort.
05:17 schestowitz-pi; i spent 10 minuets trying to find my passwords for tuxmachines and schestowitz at twitter
05:17 schestowitz-pi; to check if there are any "messages"
05:17 schestowitz-pi; my move to another system and "fresh" browsers mean I need those
05:17 schestowitz-pi; but after 10 minutes I realsied this wasn't a problem
05:17 schestowitz-pi; the problem was that I was trying to log in
05:17 schestowitz-pi; there's no need to
05:17 schestowitz-pi; very very low s/n ratio
05:17 schestowitz-pi; and that platform will go away anyway
05:17 schestowitz-pi; so I won't be logging in anymore
05:17 schestowitz-pi; end of story
05:21 techrights[sec]; No great loss.
05:25 schestowitz-pi; quite likely a gain because it helps resist the temptation to even go to that site, ever
05:25 schestowitz-pi; sometimes you'd need to spend 5 minutes just to find a one-line that mentions or speaks to
05:25 schestowitz-pi; you
05:25 schestowitz-pi; a decade ago... that's another story
05:25 schestowitz-pi; my password management isn't great, I rarely lose passwords, and anyway I could reset passwords
05:25 schestowitz-pi; if I really need to. but the point is, i quickly realise I was making a mistake by, after
05:25 schestowitz-pi; 2-3 weeks of not being logged on there, trying to get back in
05:25 schestowitz-pi; there's no need
05:25 schestowitz-pi; i also don't know if the twitter API cutoff will impact the bridge that taxmachines uses to
05:25 schestowitz-pi; relay from diaspora to mastodon and then to twitter
05:25 schestowitz-pi; twitter is "on life support"
05:25 techrights[sec]; ood returns.
05:25 techrights[sec]; It's in the same category of importance as having good backups.
05:29 techrights[sec]; 20+Password management is important. Improving that will provide good returns.
05:29 techrights[sec]; It's in the same category of importance as having good backups.
05:29 schestowitz-pi; 20+ years ago I built up passwords collection, password-protected, on a Palm PDA
05:29 schestowitz-pi; now that gnu/linux distros don't bother compling desktop-side software for "pilot" ot
05:29 schestowitz-pi; similar I rely more on direct access to data files
05:29 schestowitz-pi; the "online" hype led people to having lots and lots of "accounts"
05:29 schestowitz-pi; one for each "thing"
05:29 schestowitz-pi; I don't think it was this bad decades ago
05:29 schestowitz-pi; as people authenticated some other way
05:29 schestowitz-pi; and in some cases no "account" was needed
05:29 schestowitz-pi; like buying something at a physical shop
05:29 schestowitz-pi; it's infeasible to keep track of so many passwords and recovery over email opens
05:29 schestowitz-pi; a jab of insecurity worms
05:29 schestowitz-pi; and also a "support" burden
05:36 schestowitz-pi; the general, generalised lesson here is,
05:36 schestowitz-pi; need to reduce complexity, give up on things that may be or feel like they are not needed
05:36 schestowitz-pi; if they feel this way, they most likely are (force of habit dynamics)
05:36 schestowitz-pi; there are more things I can "cut" on... and let the mind focus better
05:36 schestowitz-pi; waking up midnight and NOT having to "clean quiterss" is a great mental improvement
05:36 schestowitz-pi; the application was in control of me, not the other way around
05:36 schestowitz-pi; and this was not rational as I was not tracking every relevant feed on the www anyway
05:36 schestowitz-pi; you can never track everything, only a subset
05:36 schestowitz-pi; "inbox zero" mindset probably has some good psychological explanation to it
05:36 schestowitz-pi; same reason people can become obsessed with cleanliness (personal, home, and more)
05:36 schestowitz-pi; there's something inherent in the brain, which is better off suppressed/resisted
05:36 schestowitz-pi; as it does not gravittate towards good productivty, rather than illusionary goals
05:47 schestowitz-TR2; MIT running pure spam for India companies, Microsoft proxies https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/02/14/1068365/low-code-and-no-code-a-marked-movement-for-digital-platform-development/ not enough bribes from Bill Gates via his BFF Jeffrey Epstein?

06:09 techrightssec; has not updated since yesterday
06:09 techrightssec; checking
06:09 techrightssec; the connectivity is sloooow
06:12 schestowitz-pi; it is doing the nightly backup so i/o is high
06:12 schestowitz-pi; regarding it not running since yesterday, thanks for spotting that
06:12 schestowitz-pi; connection dropped and I did not notice
06:12 schestowitz-pi; it will catch up soon
06:12 techrights[sec]; ok
06:15 schestowitz-pi; i would need to clone the whole system before system update
06:15 schestowitz-pi; considering what happened before
06:15 schestowitz-pi; it broke like 3 fairly important things
06:15 schestowitz-pi; not sure whose fault that was at the time
06:15 schestowitz-pi; ok, i think scrollback should be ok again
06:15 schestowitz-pi; going to look into infosys corrupting mir

07:42 schestowitz-pi; some good news today
07:42 schestowitz-pi; again
07:42 schestowitz-pi; about microsoft
07:42 schestowitz-pi; posted in short at TR
07:42 schestowitz-pi; might write more with a video later today
07:42 schestowitz-pi; workout in a few minutes, rianne sold in ebay
07:42 schestowitz-pi; gonna need a haircut this week for march 1st (ceremony)
07:43 techrights[sec]; Excellent. The layoffs are worth covering since so few other sites even
07:43 techrights[sec]; mention them.
07:51 schestowitz-pi; the way i see it:
07:51 schestowitz-pi; microsoft pays
07:51 schestowitz-pi; for the layoffs NOT to be mentioned
07:51 schestowitz-pi; or BARELY be mentions
07:51 schestowitz-pi; *ed
07:51 schestowitz-pi; or spun as a positive
07:51 schestowitz-pi; as the bribes are cheaper than the financial impact of investors and customers
07:51 schestowitz-pi; walkking away
07:51 schestowitz-pi; but that comes to show the insidious role som press can play
07:51 schestowitz-pi; in effect gaming the market iunstead of informing people
07:51 schestowitz-pi; engadget is one of several examples
08:12 schestowitz-TR2; <techrights-news> Time of lockdowns: "3,828 suicides [...] equivalent to an age-standardised mortality rate of 9.8 deaths per 100,000 people; this is statistically significantly lower than the same period in 2019 and 2018, but statistically similar to 2017." https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/articles/deathsfromsuicidethatoccurredinenglandandwales/apriltodecember2020

08:12 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.ons.gov.uk | Deaths from suicide that occurred in England and Wales - Office for National Statistics
08:12 schestowitz-TR2; <techrights-news> About 120,000 more Brits are dying per year... MOAR than before the pandemic. These "suicides" CANNOT explain _that_ high an increase. "Suicides in England and Wales. 5,583 suicides were registered in 2021 in England and Wales, 6.9% higher than in 2020 (5,224 deaths), and equivalent to an age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR) of 10.7 deaths per 100,000 people."

12:54 schestowitz-pi; equipped with the two programs/scripts
12:55 schestowitz-pi; i am still learning how to best 'conjoin' them
12:55 schestowitz-pi; a browser is not a text editor, so it would have to be two processes
