09:04 Techrights-sec; "Sorry, but the page you requested cannot be found."

09:04 Techrights-sec; maybe that is some adverse interaction with the HTTPS edition of WordPress?

09:05 schestowitz-TR; I was thinking yesterday that https/http discrepancy might contribute to this

09:06 Techrights-sec; fg

09:06 Techrights-sec; It may be the case. But logging out and then back in again seems to resolve

09:06 Techrights-sec; it termporarily.

noon, April 18

12:29 schestowitz-TR; slow news

12:29 schestowitz-TR; topic suggestions very very very welcome

12:29 schestowitz-TR; btw I work 5:30-1am for the next 3 nights

12:29 schestowitz-TR; re patents

12:29 schestowitz-TR; I think I've settled on an apporoach

12:29 schestowitz-TR; instead of "inbox zero" equiv for rss reader

12:29 schestowitz-TR; I let it pile up a bit

12:29 schestowitz-TR; then cluster

12:29 schestowitz-TR; do a topical post or video

12:29 schestowitz-TR; at the end I can do a "cleanup" video for the whole (leftovers)

12:29 schestowitz-TR; but that is not even necessary

12:29 schestowitz-TR; all in all this means more articles with more supportive links

12:29 schestowitz-TR; rather than long videos that are "all over the place"

12:29 schestowitz-TR; the troll in IRC (Gulag) is provoking some people

12:29 schestowitz-TR; I think I might spend less time in IRC

12:29 schestowitz-TR; I already experimented with this approach this past weekend

12:29 schestowitz-TR; we have very extensive IRC archive (14 years, non-stop, even missing bits were sent to me over email)

12:29 schestowitz-TR; sometimes other people take the lead in IRC

12:29 schestowitz-TR; I want to try to produce more articles on a broader range of on-topic items

12:30 Techrights-sec; ack

12:30 Techrights-sec; I use RSS a lot but it is very time consuming

12:30 Techrights-sec; delegation often helps

12:30 Techrights-sec; on-topic is important, can those helping in IRC continue to ignore or quiet

12:30 Techrights-sec; the trolls?

12:30 schestowitz-TR; MinceR does a great job in IRC. His moderation is much appreciated.

12:31 Techrights-sec; excellent

12:32 schestowitz-TR; there are trigger words for the trolls, e.g. "NSA", "Assange", "Pocock" and all the fake 'security'

12:32 schestowitz-TR; (lockdown) stuff

12:32 schestowitz-TR; This helps me understand what to cover more and what bothers the corporate shilkls

12:32 schestowitz-TR; BTW, ICBM is now backtracking on its attack on BIOS

12:33 Techrights-sec; Via Fedora?

12:33 schestowitz-TR; Would it be useful to have a video call to discuss the "Deprecate Legacy BIOS" Change proposal? https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/JUJV6BEJAXK5LATTSWGRFZDIAVM7KN4J/

12:33 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-lists.fedoraproject.org | Would it be useful to have a video call to discuss the "Deprecate Legacy BIOS" Change proposal? - devel - Fedora Mailing-Lists

12:35 Techrights-sec; yes, the attacks on the BIOS, Restricted Boot, TPM, and Pluton are all

12:35 Techrights-sec; hammering the nails in the coffin of general purpose computing

12:35 schestowitz-TR; OK, I will do a video about this

12:35 schestowitz-TR; OTA

12:35 Techrights-sec; In Apple there are the M1 and M2 chips doing the same.


1 PM, April 18

13:18 schestowitz-TR; draft

13:18 Techrights-sec; the "face-saving action" needs to be clarified so that people know whether

13:18 Techrights-sec; to spend time clicking that link or not

13:31 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I have made improvements to the text, waitinf for the upload to finish

13:35 schestowitz-TR; ack

13:35 schestowitz-TR; hte paragraph containing the phrase "face-saving action" oufght to have

13:35 schestowitz-TR; a few words reminding,for emphasis, just what that action was

13:36 Techrights-sec; ack

13:36 Techrights-sec; hte paragraph containing the phrase "face-saving action" oufght to have

13:36 Techrights-sec; a few words reminding,for emphasis, just what that action was

13:36 schestowitz-TR; I have added a last para with constructive (positive) suggestion

15:22 schestowitz-TR; from what I can recall, this is Microsoft pulling strings

15:22 schestowitz-TR; instead of traffic receivers paying the sander

15:22 schestowitz-TR; they reverse the whole thing

15:22 schestowitz-TR; shich is preposterous

5 PM, April 18

17:10 schestowitz-TR; nukes will probably happen sooner than it goes out of control

17:10 schestowitz-TR; and like climate, overpopulation is a big contributor

17:10 schestowitz-TR; but it is not PC to talk about it

17:10 schestowitz-TR; RMS tried

17:10 schestowitz-TR; and he lacks tact

17:10 Techrights-sec; However there is a big difference between tact and appeasement

17:10 Techrights-sec; Many fake OSS (not FOSS) proponents push appeasement while calling it

17:10 Techrights-sec; tact and "professionalism"
