07:24 schestowitz-TR; trolling in IRC can be a symptom of attempts to undermine
07:24 schestowitz-TR; if one considers the "hit and run" trolls
07:38 schestowitz-TR; i added and changed some stuff in git last night
07:38 schestowitz-TR; I see you're just changed 3 files as well
07:38 schestowitz-TR; the views is less cluttered now
07:38 schestowitz-TR; it polls every 10 mins, not 5 now
07:38 schestowitz-TR; as the scrollback is limited and I want to see a wider time range
07:38 schestowitz-TR; 27k requests in gemini:// yesterday
07:38 schestowitz-TR; someone accused me of paid "paid" to promote Gemini Corp. ;-)
07:38 Techrights-sec; ack
07:40 Techrights-sec; yes
07:41 schestowitz-TR; SSH Corporations pays people to write books about openssh ;-)
07:41 schestowitz-TR; *Corporation
07:41 schestowitz-TR; such a thing does exist, afaik
07:41 schestowitz-TR; or similar
07:41 Techrights-sec; I hope Gemini sorts out the large file transmission problem
07:42 schestowitz-TR; there is also a company called PGP or GPG IIRC
07:42 schestowitz-TR; but those typically just ride the brand of the programs
07:43 schestowitz-TR; and have no real connection to them
07:43 Techrights-sec; LOL
07:43 Techrights-sec; so that there is active competition in the market?
07:43 Techrights-sec; like M$ floating apple back in the day, or like how Google keeps Mozilla
07:43 Techrights-sec; on a short leash?
08:20 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Press "Active 6 months". Diaspora is going away. https://the-federation.info/diaspora
08:20 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-the-federation.info | the federation - a statistics hub
08:20 schestowitz-TR; not many people even work on it anymore
08:20 schestowitz-TR; I quoted some new comments in IRC after midnight (today)
08:20 schestowitz-TR; ina sense I am happy
08:20 schestowitz-TR; because maybe we can make a compelling case for hosting from homes
08:20 schestowitz-TR; gemini fits the bil
08:20 schestowitz-TR; but some politicians would then pass "Bills"
08:20 schestowitz-TR; something about "shooter" and "hate"
08:34 Techrights-sec; yes it ultimately comes down to the ability to self-host and the tools behind
08:34 Techrights-sec; diaspora are just too heavy and too complex to bother with. People could
08:34 Techrights-sec; technically run their own instance but there aren't really any situations where
08:34 Techrights-sec; it is worth the effort. There needs to be massive simplification rather
08:34 Techrights-sec; that what has actually happened.
08:34 schestowitz-TR; techrights homedir has a residue of me running (experimenting with) our own instance of diaspora
08:34 schestowitz-TR; that was a very long time ago (old version, too)
08:34 schestowitz-TR; the complexity of it and the system reqs (not just deps but also disk space, ram etc.) make
08:34 schestowitz-TR; it sadism to even bother with
08:34 schestowitz-TR; esp. for very small instances
08:34 schestowitz-TR; is aral balkan still at it?
08:34 schestowitz-TR; does he bother?
08:34 schestowitz-TR; DT and DeVault pulled the plug
08:34 schestowitz-TR; not only on themselves but people who relied on their instance
08:35 Techrights-sec; WordPress is another example of complexity expanding until it reaches the
08:35 Techrights-sec; limit the market will tolerate
08:35 Techrights-sec; not sure; yes: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral
08:35 Techrights-sec; though for him one of the returns is making a point, plus he
08:35 Techrights-sec; does javascript for a living so it is a somewhat smaller burden and
08:35 Techrights-sec; most likely less unpleasant; few actually like javascript but maybe
08:35 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ar.al (@aral@mastodon.ar.al) - Arals Mastodon
08:35 Techrights-sec; he is one; that aside, he mostly has good points to note about reducing
08:35 Techrights-sec; complexity
08:39 schestowitz-TR; a) need to make point about gemini HAVING a REAL userbase
08:39 schestowitz-TR; b) make it less daunting to dabble in (but not GUI complexity either)
08:39 schestowitz-TR; c) make it look big, hence Planet
08:39 schestowitz-TR; d) promote by linking to it
08:39 schestowitz-TR; of course we have self-interest in that too, as early adopters

10:54 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Pirate Site Blocking is Making its Way Into Free Trade Agreements * TorrentFreak
10:56 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> TorrentFreak cannot be accessed or rendered without Gulag. They need to rethink how they make/made their Web site...
10:57 schestowitz-TR; the lingering concern is that they will start with unauthorised streams
10:57 schestowitz-TR; and then broaden the brush
10:57 schestowitz-TR; or say that anything not centralised COULD violate copyrights
10:58 schestowitz-TR; even if it does not
10:58 schestowitz-TR; so we need to stand with the "pirates"
10:58 schestowitz-TR; then they will use terrorists
10:58 schestowitz-TR; and pedos
10:58 schestowitz-TR; for cover
10:59 schestowitz-TR; The BillBC, which covers up for Jeffrey Epstein's underage sex ring (like it did Jimmy Savile), has the audacity to associate privacy with "pedos". Who's paying you, BBC? Oh yeah.... Bill.
11:02 Techrights-sec; that appears to be their goal, based on things going back to before "DVD Jon"
11:02 Techrights-sec; note that vouching for your own certificates is more or less blocked by

11:05 schestowitz-TR; I did not tell you this days ago
11:05 schestowitz-TR; but schestowitz.com moved to https
11:05 schestowitz-TR; only because for some strange, strange reason
11:05 schestowitz-TR; all the wordpress blogs there (about 5-6 of them) suddenly redirecated everything internally to https
11:05 schestowitz-TR; which is very strange
11:05 schestowitz-TR; rather than find the cause and undo
11:05 schestowitz-TR; I just gave up and added https
11:05 schestowitz-TR; LE, obviously...
11:05 schestowitz-TR; the sinister LF is controlling this
11:05 schestowitz-TR; the same CFO who let in 2019
11:05 schestowitz-TR; *lefgt
11:05 schestowitz-TR; *left
11:05 schestowitz-TR; in effect, they make "OUTSOURCING TO AMERICA" a PART OF THE STANDARD
11:05 schestowitz-TR; or the PROTOCOL
11:05 schestowitz-TR; NOT US?
11:05 schestowitz-TR; Not compliant?
11:05 schestowitz-TR; Russia? Terrorussia.
11:05 schestowitz-TR; The political angle of it would cloud the importance of the underlying logic.
11:05 schestowitz-TR; Startcom/startTLS = China
11:05 schestowitz-TR; hence "bad

11:05 Techrights-sec; ack
11:05 schestowitz-TR; there are people online who actively mock these arguments

11:05 Techrights-sec; ack
11:06 schestowitz-TR; this helps dicourage them
11:06 schestowitz-TR; fear of being dubbed a "crank"
11:06 schestowitz-TR; or "dangerous" (like both Google browsers say... maybe Firefox 101 will add a COVID caricature to those pages)
11:08 schestowitz-TR; fwiw, the vaccine analogy is of use on the thin surfacve
11:08 schestowitz-TR; they keep saying "get vaccinated" (https)
11:08 schestowitz-TR; and if you don't, they keep putting up the pressure
11:08 schestowitz-TR; while mocking you
11:08 schestowitz-TR; then blocking entry
11:08 schestowitz-TR; until you comply
11:08 schestowitz-TR; "it's not compusary!"
11:08 schestowitz-TR; "but your life is getting hard, does it not?"
11:11 schestowitz-TR; one remedial approach, I think,
11:11 schestowitz-TR; is to keep putting the flashlight on LF
11:11 schestowitz-TR; like last night when I showed its "security" and "open source" doc
11:11 schestowitz-TR; was in fact made on/by Gulag
11:11 Techrights-sec; yes
11:11 schestowitz-TR; not "open source"

11:28 Techrights-sec; though a institution to fill the role of Linux advocate is needed, not
11:28 Techrights-sec; the current activity of representing corporate members in development
11:28 Techrights-sec; furthermore WTF is with Zemlin extracting more in salary that Torvalds himself
11:28 Techrights-sec; and Zemlin not only doesn't even code he doesn't even run Linux
11:28 Techrights-sec; (yes, you've covered that before)

11:28 schestowitz-TR; he lies

15:14 schestowitz-TR; "offensive" videos
15:14 schestowitz-TR; we would not eat them
15:14 schestowitz-TR; I saw some videos I almost regret seeing
15:15 schestowitz-TR; but are important to see
15:15 schestowitz-TR; in "trigger warning" generation maybe you're be sent to the firing line for posting
15:15 schestowitz-TR; "offensive" videos

15:18 schestowitz-TR; they should be seen as friends or pets, not ingredients
15:18 schestowitz-TR; I'm still not 100% vegetarian (rianne is), but getting there...
15:18 schestowitz-TR; no milk, eggs or meat purchased today
15:18 schestowitz-TR; mostly fruit and veg
15:18 schestowitz-TR; (and grain)
15:18 Techrights-sec; yes
15:18 Techrights-sec; be sure to calibrate the diet to avoid deficiencies or excesses
15:19 schestowitz-TR; still got 15-20 bags of cheese in the fridge, we finish about 2 per day
15:24 schestowitz-TR; the moral issue then it (vegan complex), the cows that make the milk are later killed
15:24 schestowitz-TR; so it's part of the "chain"
15:24 schestowitz-TR; tbh, my day started on the right foot seeing the netflix news
15:24 schestowitz-TR; I still have a ton of spare time for articles
15:24 schestowitz-TR; just need ideas of IMPORTANT things to cover
15:24 schestowitz-TR; "nleson haha" about netflix would be pointless
15:24 schestowitz-TR; unless I know something that the media is not reporting
15:24 schestowitz-TR; twitter is let to rot, based on the link you sent this morning
15:24 schestowitz-TR; I was about to comment here in ytalk, but you already saw that regardless
15:24 schestowitz-TR; when FB is down twitter is also down
15:24 schestowitz-TR; because th shareholders make deductions
15:25 schestowitz-TR; I get a TON of deja vu re Microsoft, Yahoo! and Icahn
15:25 schestowitz-TR; if you consider the chain of events from KSA, Musk, and Twitter
15:25 Techrights-sec; it was a bit of good news, or at least some indication of one thing heading t
15:25 Techrights-sec; the right direction
15:25 Techrights-sec; The large percentage of bots and fake accounts might come to light as a side
15:25 Techrights-sec; effect of Musk's games, whatever he is up to.
15:25 Techrights-sec; yes much of the game might be simple about driving the price per share to
15:25 Techrights-sec; as low as he can, eithe for his direcct gain or in exchange for something
15:25 Techrights-sec; elsewhere
15:27 schestowitz-TR; like with Yahoo!
15:27 schestowitz-TR; you also drive away users
15:27 schestowitz-TR; (like saying "Trump is coming back!)
15:27 schestowitz-TR; drive away STAFF
15:27 schestowitz-TR; and drive away shareholders to lower the price, over time
15:27 schestowitz-TR; and play hard to get
15:27 schestowitz-TR; get the management blamed for not selling sooner
15:27 schestowitz-TR; Yahoo! kept changing managers
15:32 Techrights-sec; Icahn destroyed Yahoo for M$, especially the FOSS components
15:35 schestowitz-TR; there was another point I wanted to make but forgot along the way
15:35 schestowitz-TR; because it brings back so many memories
15:35 schestowitz-TR; I also forgot the name of the 'original' Yahoo CEO (not Yang) who was confronted with this attack
15:35 schestowitz-TR; either way, it's just IRC
15:35 schestowitz-TR; and not an exhaustive list of similarities
15:36 schestowitz-TR; I had some sympathies for Yahoo!
15:36 schestowitz-TR; I even had a geocities site back then
15:36 schestowitz-TR; for twitter I have no remorse
15:36 schestowitz-TR; though I have nearly a million "tweets" there
15:36 schestowitz-TR; Musk is likely advised by someone (or ones) who mastered this modus operandi
15:36 schestowitz-TR; lots of free publiucity
15:36 schestowitz-TR; pumping and dumping
15:36 schestowitz-TR; ruining the company
15:36 schestowitz-TR; they stopped hiring
15:36 schestowitz-TR; the whole company is in limbo
15:36 schestowitz-TR; this can take a year
15:36 schestowitz-TR; meanthile it loses value, fast...
15:36 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft turned Yahoo! into software patents troll fodder
15:36 schestowitz-TR; there was another point I wanted to make but forgot along the way
15:36 schestowitz-TR; because it brings back so many memories
15:36 schestowitz-TR; I also forgot the name of the 'original' Yahoo CEO (not Yang) who was confronted with this attack
15:36 schestowitz-TR; either way, it's just IRC
15:36 Techrights-sec; like with Nokia, in some ways
15:36 schestowitz-TR; and not an exhaustive list of similarities
15:36 schestowitz-TR; I had some sympathies for Yahoo!
15:36 schestowitz-TR; I even had a geocities site back then

15:36 schestowitz-TR; this can take a year
15:36 schestowitz-TR; meanthile it loses value, fast...
15:36 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft turned Yahoo! into software patents troll fodder
15:37 schestowitz-TR; I also mentioned similarities to Nokia
15:37 schestowitz-TR; but this one is more like Yahoo! than Nokia
15:37 schestowitz-TR; inc. the mole inhouse
15:43 schestowitz-TR; "The RSS reader is my solution to the infinite algorithmic feed problem. Using an RSS reader allows me to create a finite feed, populated only by the newest content from sources I have specifically chosen to receive updates from." gemini://skylarhill.me/posts/digital-hygiene.gmi
15:45 schestowitz-TR; it's only 3:44 and already we served more than 20k pages in gemini since midnight
15:45 schestowitz-TR; I didn't bother study who, why..
15:45 schestowitz-TR; but it's good to see increased activity and more unique IPs over time
15:46 schestowitz-TR; sooner or later companies with their "brand managers" will realise they have a "blind spot"
15:46 schestowitz-TR; for their perception management and reputation "gurus"
15:46 schestowitz-TR; a spot where conde nasty and wikipedia manipulators have no away
15:46 schestowitz-TR; *sway
15:54 schestowitz-TR; apropos - my stress levels decreased since abandoning social control media
15:54 schestowitz-TR; happiness up
15:54 schestowitz-TR; cfocus up sharply
15:54 schestowitz-TR; too multi-0dimentaional a thinking (notifiucations) and multitasking just ruins everything
15:54 schestowitz-TR; and lowers the capacity to be productive
15:54 schestowitz-TR; streamlining is better
15:54 schestowitz-TR; social control media is not compatible with it
15:54 schestowitz-TR; and the topics are all over the place like a roller coaster
15:54 schestowitz-TR; social control media got optimied to be "brain hack"
15:54 schestowitz-TR; how to mess with the head
15:54 schestowitz-TR; for "engagement"
15:54 schestowitz-TR; infinite scroll addiction
15:54 schestowitz-TR; fomo
15:54 schestowitz-TR; insecurity
15:54 schestowitz-TR; anger eagerness to respond
15:55 schestowitz-TR; "likes" for gamification
15:55 schestowitz-TR; false impression of... impressions (a false feel of popularity)
15:55 schestowitz-TR; I don't do FB, but I guess it's bigger there
15:55 schestowitz-TR; feeds the ego/id
15:55 Techrights-sec; yes that is a common benefit of leaving social control media
15:55 Techrights-sec; it exists mostly becuase it can cultivate OCD behavior to drive "engagement"
15:55 Techrights-sec; instead of communication
15:55 Techrights-sec; and *very* few understand the filtering mechanism even if it is obvious and
15:55 Techrights-sec; in front of their noses
15:57 schestowitz-TR; the creeping effect or the saverity that increases over time helpd the denial
15:57 schestowitz-TR; it's wrong to assume th platform one joined in 2009 (me) is the same it is in 2022
15:57 schestowitz-TR; it changed profoundly
15:57 schestowitz-TR; little by little
15:57 schestowitz-TR; now it demands JS too
15:57 schestowitz-TR; and it cannot be read over IRC using the API
15:57 schestowitz-TR; they killed it in 2018
15:57 Techrights-sec; correct, it is no longer a web site but an application misusing the browser
15:57 Techrights-sec; as a virtual machine environment
16:00 schestowitz-TR; I do not do "phones" or "apps"
16:00 schestowitz-TR; but I did android dev a decade ago
16:00 schestowitz-TR; my understanding is that since then a lot of mobile "dev" is just a
16:00 schestowitz-TR; bunch of "Web" or "JS" frameworks
16:00 schestowitz-TR; and vice verse
16:01 schestowitz-TR; it is a two-way street
16:01 schestowitz-TR; so no real, native, proper applications get developd
16:01 schestowitz-TR; which might explain why phones last so short a timer
16:01 schestowitz-TR; both the lifetime of a phone
16:01 schestowitz-TR; and battery life
16:01 Techrights-sec; ack
16:01 schestowitz-TR; the software demands a lot of power
16:01 schestowitz-TR; the hardware is demanding
16:01 schestowitz-TR; a palm pda does so much more for elss power
16:01 schestowitz-TR; motorola thunderball
16:01 schestowitz-TR; literally about 100 times slower (I guess)

18:11 psydruid; Android doesn't have much choice in terms of web browsers
18:12 schestowitz-TR; not anymore?
18:12 schestowitz-TR; for us, it seems like many browsers are based on the same codebase
18:12 psydruid; Firefox is the only one that kind of works and it's buggy and slow
18:12 schestowitz-TR; there are really just two "big" browsers left
18:12 schestowitz-TR; gecko is the less popular of the two
18:12 schestowitz-TR; as many webmasters don't test for it
18:13 psydruid; Chrome isn't something you want to use as it doesn't have adblock
18:14 schestowitz-TR; I wonder what the gemini clients on android are like
18:14 schestowitz-TR; there's at least one I know of
18:15 schestowitz-TR; I only tried many desktop clients

20:15 schestowitz-TR; but the linux!!!! -vmware
20:16 psydroid2; isn't vmware mainly for vista server these days
20:16 psydroid2; and with vista in decline vmware is also in decline
20:20 schestowitz-TR; given Friedman's exit from Microsoft ('GitHub') I very much doubt there is any justification for piling
20:20 schestowitz-TR; on his spouse
20:20 schestowitz-TR; it would be unnecessary even if somewhat wrranted
20:20 schestowitz-TR; I don't suppose he will be back to positions of significant power
20:20 schestowitz-TR; so I've decided we never need to dig in that direction anymore
20:20 schestowitz-TR; but who knows...
20:20 schestowitz-TR; maybe in the distant future...
20:21 schestowitz-TR; psydroid2: vmware is obsolete
20:21 schestowitz-TR; because other hypervisors caught up
20:21 schestowitz-TR; and vmware is just some brand from 2 decades ago
20:21 schestowitz-TR; they tried to reinvent themselves
20:21 schestowitz-TR; they even did DCs ("clown") at one point
20:21 schestowitz-TR; then shut the whole thing down
20:22 schestowitz-TR; when we worked with the NHS we migrated all of their VMs away from vmware
20:22 schestowitz-TR; to a local host
20:22 psydroid2; Proxmox?
20:22 psydroid2; or not even that?
20:22 schestowitz-TR; I used it a lot
20:23 schestowitz-TR; in 2011
20:23 schestowitz-TR; or 2012
20:23 schestowitz-TR; it can do front end for kvm
20:23 schestowitz-TR; and maybe other backup 'tech'
20:23 schestowitz-TR; there's also virt-manager
20:23 schestowitz-TR; lots of options now
20:23 schestowitz-TR; vsphere is just a shitty brand
20:23 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@7x8snfm4r58h8.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
20:23 schestowitz-TR; and usually managed from some backdoored Vista desktop
20:24 schestowitz-TR; or desktop with the word "SERVER" slapped onto it
20:24 psydroid2; that was one of the worst parts
20:24 schestowitz-TR; complete with media player, solitaire etc.
20:24 psydroid2; at some point you could only manage it from vista
20:24 psydroid2; which is ridiculous
20:24 schestowitz-TR; because you want to play games and listen to music on a production servet ;-)
20:24 Techrights-sec; ack
20:25 schestowitz-TR; lots of LF spam today
20:25 schestowitz-TR; Linux Foundation is spamming legitimate sites to promote a diploma mill. This is not helping Linux! http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/164995#comment-33720
20:25 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.tuxmachines.org | Linux Foundation Misdirection and Spam | Tux Machines
20:26 schestowitz-TR; BTW, on the call last week the CEO mentioned LPI and LF diploma
20:26 schestowitz-TR; I didn't laugh out loud, only inside
20:26 schestowitz-TR; the camera was on
20:27 psydroid2; I still get nightmwares from the prometheus thing
20:28 psydroid2; not because I used it, but because this guy in Dublin (Brian Brazil) would give the same presentation wherever he went
20:28 schestowitz-TR; sounds like today's "academia"
20:28 schestowitz-TR; one of the worse part is lecturing
20:28 schestowitz-TR; the worst is marking up exams
20:28 schestowitz-TR; the thing the scholars want to do is research and papers
20:29 schestowitz-TR; and reading
20:30 schestowitz-TR; work is not fun
20:30 schestowitz-TR; jobs are no fun
20:30 schestowitz-TR; some are less unfun [sic]
20:30 schestowitz-TR; and:
20:30 schestowitz-TR; over time the jobs become less fun
20:30 schestowitz-TR; as a function of how much exploitation they can get away with
20:30 schestowitz-TR; before you resign
20:30 schestowitz-TR; "hand in a notice"
20:30 psydroid2; and do what then?
20:31 schestowitz-TR; in tough economic conditions and with kids and mortgages more people can be exploited
20:31 schestowitz-TR; they cannot afford to lose their job
20:31 psydroid2; all IT jobs suck nowadays
20:31 schestowitz-TR; yeah
20:31 schestowitz-TR; clown smart hey hi
20:31 schestowitz-TR; and clown diplomas
20:31 schestowitz-TR; "memorise this gui"
20:31 schestowitz-TR; do online exam with microhone and camera on
20:31 schestowitz-TR; don't forget, you use Windows, RIGHT? RIGHT?
20:32 schestowitz-TR; rianne is checking jobs this week
20:32 schestowitz-TR; because we plan to resign soon
20:32 schestowitz-TR; or lower the hours
20:32 schestowitz-TR; my employer is becoming shittier each year
20:32 psydroid2; if you are asked to sell out, you should at least be paid well
20:33 schestowitz-TR; it's not even that
20:33 schestowitz-TR; I might publish more details soon
20:33 schestowitz-TR; but I already said a lot in this channel
20:34 schestowitz-TR; without people's named and brand names
20:34 schestowitz-TR; I do have "techsss skillz..
20:34 schestowitz-TR; But uploading shit to "clown" is not using my skills
20:34 schestowitz-TR; it's an insult to the company's name
20:34 schestowitz-TR; we used to have high-calibre stuff
20:34 schestowitz-TR; *and staff
20:34 psydroid2; maybe the skilled staff have all left
20:34 schestowitz-TR; not we have staff with degree in CLASSICS!
20:34 schestowitz-TR; yeah, they have
20:35 schestowitz-TR; we are a zombie brand
20:35 schestowitz-TR; like vmware :-)
20:35 schestowitz-TR; like netflix
20:35 psydroid2; :)
20:35 schestowitz-TR; except those companies still pay well
20:35 schestowitz-TR; as you say, the jobs out there are not too nice
20:35 schestowitz-TR; and the requirements are laughable
20:36 schestowitz-TR; enough to put you off
20:36 schestowitz-TR; I can do a multi-year hiatus to focus on techrights
20:36 schestowitz-TR; but would rather have some employment continuation
20:36 schestowitz-TR; so I might go part time
20:36 schestowitz-TR; seems even companies that call themselves "open source" are not
20:36 schestowitz-TR; (anymore)
20:36 schestowitz-TR; Red Hat is one
20:37 psydroid2; I'm thinking I should finally get a (remote) job this summer and keep working with hardware design and embedded software
20:37 schestowitz-TR; Oliva (LXO) left fast
20:37 schestowitz-TR; ours is doing all sorts of clown shit
20:37 schestowitz-TR; the media is a lying sack of s***t
20:37 schestowitz-TR; they say things like
20:37 schestowitz-TR; "great resignation"
20:37 schestowitz-TR; high salaries
20:37 psydroid2; I think Red Hat saw an opportunity a long time ago, but kept boiling the frog and eventually turned into what it is now under IBM
20:37 schestowitz-TR; many openings
20:37 schestowitz-TR; home working
20:37 schestowitz-TR; people get all cushy
20:38 schestowitz-TR; this is a fictional write-up style
20:38 schestowitz-TR; they're told what to write
20:38 schestowitz-TR; to encourage young people to still study CS
20:38 schestowitz-TR; and to blame the victims
20:38 schestowitz-TR; ewvebn universities have becomg training facilitiees
20:38 psydroid2; does the IT industry need so many people in the future?
20:38 schestowitz-TR; they don't teach
20:38 psydroid2; maybe to drive salaries down
20:38 schestowitz-TR; psydroid2: depends where
20:38 schestowitz-TR; they never say it out loud
20:39 schestowitz-TR; IBM fires its vetarans
20:39 schestowitz-TR; then moans about talent shortage
20:39 schestowitz-TR; calling the vicitms "dinobabies"
20:39 schestowitz-TR; they want to hire on the cheap
20:39 schestowitz-TR; one client of ours hired in Yerevan
20:39 schestowitz-TR; for a Web site resign
20:39 schestowitz-TR; redesign
20:39 schestowitz-TR; I can imagine how much they pay
20:39 schestowitz-TR; and NOC was outsourced to southeat Asia
20:40 schestowitz-TR; so the issue is not a lack of talent
20:40 schestowitz-TR; but a lack of capital
20:40 schestowitz-TR; or greed, wanting to increase net profits
20:41 schestowitz-TR; no wonder so many young and sometimes old people look at get-rich-fast schemes
20:41 psydroid2; it's becoming harder to differentiate your skills in this market
20:41 schestowitz-TR; it's the only chance they have
20:41 psydroid2; yes
20:41 schestowitz-TR; and prices of homes rise faster than they can save up
20:41 schestowitz-TR; so it's like a runaway train
20:41 schestowitz-TR; that's why they buy fakecoin
20:41 schestowitz-TR; btw, sheelva zemlin works in a fakecoin company
20:41 schestowitz-TR; microsoft's fakecoin
20:41 schestowitz-TR; maybe I'll write about it one dayu
20:42 schestowitz-TR; [20:41] <psydroid2> it's becoming harder to differentiate your skills in this market
20:42 schestowitz-TR; hey, I can set up our own server
20:42 schestowitz-TR; save us $10,000 a year
20:42 schestowitz-TR; boss: no, no, the clown is the thing
20:42 schestowitz-TR; "we cannot be hobbyists"
20:42 schestowitz-TR; to them, tech-skilled people are hobbyists
20:42 schestowitz-TR; oursourcing = professional
20:42 schestowitz-TR; never mind legality aspects
20:43 schestowitz-TR; which I keep raising
20:43 schestowitz-TR; to deaf ears
20:43 schestowitz-TR; they just panic when they hear it
20:43 schestowitz-TR; like a whistleblower attempting to air concerns internally
20:43 schestowitz-TR; oh, wait, you gotta hear this
20:43 schestowitz-TR; this week they sent out presentation slides
20:44 schestowitz-TR; they make this massive org chart
20:44 schestowitz-TR; with like 30 leafs in it
20:44 schestowitz-TR; roles or teams
20:44 schestowitz-TR; we're a company of only about 10 people now
20:44 schestowitz-TR; they're faking it
20:44 schestowitz-TR; and the site is out of date, half the people listed there no longer work with us
20:44 schestowitz-TR; most left, not sacked
20:45 schestowitz-TR; BTW
20:45 schestowitz-TR; if you want to work for Linux Foundation
20:45 schestowitz-TR; and you use Linux
20:45 schestowitz-TR; beware
20:45 schestowitz-TR; you might need to use something else :-)
20:45 psydroid2; :)
20:45 schestowitz-TR; it would be nice if someone took some photos inside their office
20:46 psydroid2; it's one big farce
20:46 schestowitz-TR; but that person would get caugh and bollocked
20:46 psydroid2; I had macos installed in qemu for a year or so to see how it was different from gnu/linux
20:46 psydroid2; not only was it slower and buggier, it was just harder to get code compiled for
20:47 psydroid2; it's better than vista from a developer point of view, but not reliable enough for my needs
20:48 schestowitz-TR; what was the software for?
20:48 psydroid2; but most of those people like the ones who work at the Linux Foundation like shiny things
20:48 schestowitz-TR; like target platform?
20:48 schestowitz-TR; server?
20:48 schestowitz-TR; web?
20:48 schestowitz-TR; tech? game?
20:48 schestowitz-TR; psydroid2: they like "shiny" things because they get no real work done
20:48 schestowitz-TR; they just make powerpoint slides
20:48 schestowitz-TR; and phonecalls
20:48 psydroid2; no, my raytracing project from university
20:48 schestowitz-TR; and writing press releases
20:49 schestowitz-TR; and doing "CoC" processes
20:49 psydroid2; it used something called std::filesystem that is buggy on macos
20:49 schestowitz-TR; psydroid2: did you do your own tracing?
20:49 schestowitz-TR; I did some opengl and povray 20+ years ago
20:49 psydroid2; I wrote large parts of the code, yes
20:49 psydroid2; but it was a group project
20:49 schestowitz-TR; right now their strategt
20:49 schestowitz-TR; apple,microsoft etc.
20:50 schestowitz-TR; is to detabilise us
20:50 schestowitz-TR; like stevge jobs trying to recruit torvalds
20:50 schestowitz-TR; with the conditipon
20:50 schestowitz-TR; you MUST STOP developing Linux
20:50 schestowitz-TR; now the LF does similar shit
20:50 schestowitz-TR; because now they fight
20:50 schestowitz-TR; then we win
20:50 schestowitz-TR; they kill many orgs in the process
20:50 psydroid2; they are essentially fighting all of free software
20:50 psydroid2; by EEE'ing it
20:50 schestowitz-TR; to make things more shitty than 10 years ago
20:51 psydroid2; this does look like the "final solution" from you know where
20:51 schestowitz-TR; well, final solution is a poor analogy
20:51 schestowitz-TR; the final soluiton was about executing the internment camps' inhibitants
20:51 schestowitz-TR; to save food etc.
20:51 schestowitz-TR; or just because of hate
20:51 schestowitz-TR; in the case of Microsoft EEE
20:52 schestowitz-TR; a better analogy would be '"infiltrate and burn down everything"
20:52 psydroid2; it's not just Microsoft this time
20:52 schestowitz-TR; mjg is in #techrights not because he finds it interesting
20:52 psydroid2; it's Microsoft and all of their friends
20:52 schestowitz-TR; it's a class thing
20:52 schestowitz-TR; brands help identify the moles
20:53 schestowitz-TR; past employment, kinship, friends

21:02 schestowitz-TR; sorry, my laptop there ran out of power
21:03 schestowitz-TR; it's showing a sign of its age
21:03 schestowitz-TR; some mechanical faults
21:03 schestowitz-TR; anyway, the last few standing to fight the so-called 'coup'
21:03 schestowitz-TR; (I don't fancy using such a word)
21:03 schestowitz-TR; can harness the power of the remaining hacker culture/community
21:03 schestowitz-TR; but we need to add more young people to it
21:03 schestowitz-TR; to keep up the resistance
21:04 schestowitz-TR; oh, it crashed again
21:04 schestowitz-TR; not sure a battery issue
21:06 *asusbox has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
21:06 *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
21:09 schestowitz-TR; maybe ssd damage...
21:11 psydroid2; this one also has some erratic behaviour with the screen going blank, so I have to reboot it sometimes
21:11 psydroid2; but I'm running bookworm/sid here, so I expect some breakage
21:11 schestowitz-TR; ok, now I am quite sure it's the power supply
21:11 schestowitz-TR; it's very sensitive at the socket
21:11 psydroid2; it's just much faster than bullseye for some reason
21:12 schestowitz-TR; I need to babysit two laptops to make sure they're on socket and not battery
21:12 schestowitz-TR; at least I can assure myself it's not dead, just attention-demanding
21:13 schestowitz-TR; if I quit my job, I'll change my arrangement around here
21:16 schestowitz-TR; OK, I think I got this figured out now, but the age of the laptop (2016) means it's not worth purchasing an alternate charger
21:16 schestowitz-TR; the battery life isn't great either
21:17 schestowitz-TR; on minimal brightness it can last no more than 3 hours idle
21:21 schestowitz-TR; I thought that my monitor was having issues, with lumens up and down
21:21 schestowitz-TR; turns out it's power management when the socket is in and out
21:21 schestowitz-TR; so it's a symptom of me going to battery... and a warning
