03:08 techrights-sec; What were SUEPO and PCT-EPO ?

03:35 schestowitz-TR; gm/ping3

03:47 techrights-sec; gm

03:48 schestowitz-TR; I think I rushed a bit and could do better explaining acronyms

03:48 schestowitz-TR; I'm still so happy that epo faces backlash from "clients"

03:49 techrights-sec; np just that it helps a lot of casual and/or new visitors to have the

03:49 techrights-sec; acronyms expanded. It especially helps in Gemini, because I figure the

03:49 techrights-sec; demographics there are people who would benefit highly from knowing what's going

03:49 techrights-sec; on at the European Patent Office and how it is a threat to everything they

03:49 techrights-sec; work with.

03:50 schestowitz-TR; most people don't know what PATENTS really are

03:50 schestowitz-TR; or what PCT is, which relies on knowing what PATENTS are

03:50 schestowitz-TR; and what a SCAM they have become

03:58 techrights-sec; PCT, I might guess due to being around here for long time, might

03:58 techrights-sec; be the Patent Cooperation Treaty. Knowing for sure would allow me (or others)

03:58 techrights-sec; to look up what that actually is for. Though the search engines probably steer

03:58 techrights-sec; to disinformation / propaganda sites like WIPO.int and EPO.org or Wikipedia.org

03:58 techrights-sec; "Pacific Crest Trail" ?

03:58 techrights-sec; Since most people don't know what patents are, it helps to periodically throw

03:58 techrights-sec; in a reminder that patents govern usage. Most developers and nealy all general

03:58 techrights-sec; users of softare are fixated on distribution, which is an aspect irrelevant

03:58 techrights-sec; to patents. The Unisys LZW patent mistake needs to be rubbed in people's faces

03:58 techrights-sec; in such situations.

03:58 techrights-sec; There are other examples, too, which show that LZW was not a one-off or a fluke

03:58 techrights-sec; but part of the design of the patent system.

03:58 techrights-sec; Or at least part of the design of the current incarnation of the patent system.

03:58 techrights-sec; "standards-essential" patents are another landmine of sorts.

03:58 techrights-sec; Patents, as we both know, are very separate from copyright, but the use of the

03:58 techrights-sec; misleading, nonsensical phrase "Intellectual Property" works well to confuse

03:59 techrights-sec; both.

03:59 schestowitz-TR; standards and patents are not compstible

03:59 schestowitz-TR; but there are a bunch of "pragmatic" liars who would lie for the religion of patents

03:59 techrights-sec; I would go as far as to say that if there are patents involved then we are

03:59 techrights-sec; talking about a specification which is not and can never be an actual standard


4 AM, October 18

04:17 techrights-sec; Most of the TR articles in recent years seem to be aimed at European Patent

04:17 techrights-sec; Office staff and other insiders. If outreach to new groups is desireable,

04:17 techrights-sec; some small tweaks could be made to the way new articles are written such

04:17 techrights-sec; that the terminology is made more accessible to new and/or casual visitors

04:17 techrights-sec; while still digging deeply as usual for the insiders.

04:23 schestowitz-TR; in techrights we covered this many times before, even earlier this month

04:34 techrights-sec; It looks like just the processing fees are near 10000 EUR, and that lawyer

04:34 techrights-sec; fees will be on top of that.

04:37 schestowitz-TR; on the 'upside', many patent propaganda hives have gone quiet this past year

04:37 schestowitz-TR; not sure what to make of it as clearly the patenting activity itself carries on

04:39 techrights-sec; Yet since software, mathematical formulas, and business models cannot be

04:39 techrights-sec; patented and are ineligble for patents, such an application will waste

04:39 techrights-sec; an enormous amount of company money for an end result of nothing.

04:39 techrights-sec; Company lawyers are not cheap.

04:39 techrights-sec; It will probably come back to bite those that have wasted their own company's

04:39 techrights-sec; money on software patent applicaions.

04:39 schestowitz-TR; they kept promoting the myth you won't get any VC $ unless you get patents

04:40 techrights-sec;

04:40 techrights-sec; That's the myth, yes, but what is the source of that myth? The source

04:40 techrights-sec; could be found and dealt with.

04:40 techrights-sec; ^ topic ?

04:42 schestowitz-TR; the cynic in me says a lot of takeovers are 'fake'

04:42 schestowitz-TR; and VC money is like buying a football team

04:42 schestowitz-TR; accounting trick and loophole made up by the exploters

04:42 schestowitz-TR; yesterday I mentioned one clown company seeking a takeover

04:42 schestowitz-TR; sometimes their aim is to get bought,not make money

04:42 schestowitz-TR; which means the staff get rehired elsewhere

04:42 schestowitz-TR; somewhere "too big to fail" (subsidies/graft/bailout)

04:43 techrights-sec; I'm not sure which fictions the VC parrot to each other.

04:55 schestowitz-TR; sorry to be changing the subject (by all means see the above; TR covered that a lot at the time),d

04:55 schestowitz-TR; daemonfc says some mask mandates now come back to parts of USA

04:55 schestowitz-TR; which, to me, merely validates the stance

04:55 schestowitz-TR; I think I'll pursue some more open data on death totals

04:58 DaemonFC; On one hand, kind of.

04:58 DaemonFC; They're a mask suggestion.

04:58 DaemonFC; On the other hand, the order does actual harm.

04:59 DaemonFC; Drops the weekly test mandate for healthcare workers, and the mask one too.

04:59 DaemonFC; They have no idea what they're doing and even if they did, it's all politics.

04:59 DaemonFC; The voting is going on because Illinois has 40 days of "early voting".


5 AM, October 18

05:00 DaemonFC; They don't want you to feel like you're being "burdened" during an election where things beyond their control are already happening that are quite serious and bad.

05:01 DaemonFC; Is COVID beyond our control. Yes. Is it totally beyond our control? No.

05:02 DaemonFC; It's beyond our control who gets it and exactly when and how often.

05:02 DaemonFC; About the only control exists in macro.

05:02 DaemonFC; At the macro level.

05:02 DaemonFC; So they're not requiring anyone to do anything anymore, and that makes COVID entirely beyond the control of everyone else again.

05:03 DaemonFC; Except that they might get vaccinated and wear N95 masks, but it's optional.

05:03 DaemonFC; And the vaccines won't last long because there's enough idiots and poor people floating around that the virus has plenty of hosts to quickly infect and mutate in.

05:04 DaemonFC; The vaccine companies WON'T send the good stuff to poor countries.

05:04 DaemonFC; So they basically have to go beg China and Russia for some of their crap that they can't even maintain quality control on.

05:05 techrights-sec; ack

05:05 DaemonFC; Like, the Chinese are using old vaccine tech, but....They've also had batches that they've injected lots of people with where it turns out they didn't even make it right.

05:05 DaemonFC; And it was live virus.

05:05 schestowitz-TR; studying the data from ireland atm

05:05 schestowitz-TR; they have some 2022 data

05:08 techrights-sec; ack

05:08 DaemonFC; There should have been one vaccine platform and a global distribution agreement ahead of time.

05:08 DaemonFC; At least now we know Plague Inc. was optimistic.

05:31 schestowitz; but they do not release any data older than 2020

05:31 schestowitz; strange!

05:36 schestowitz-TR; checked again and again

05:36 schestowitz-TR; other sites two

05:36 schestowitz-TR; canada's death data is 2 years behind

05:36 schestowitz-TR; this is strange because ireland has q1 data for 2022

05:36 schestowitz-TR; uk has q2 and most of q3 (by week)

05:36 schestowitz-TR; iirc, usa has q1 for 2022

05:36 schestowitz-TR; but tries to hide anything older than 21 months

05:37 schestowitz-TR; don't ask me why...

05:37 schestowitz-TR; I had to use wayback machine for cdc site

05:37 techrights-sec; Almost certainly to prevent comparisons, so as to normalize the current

05:37 techrights-sec; death rates in the minds of the public.

05:41 schestowitz-TR; i did not mention it in my blog post:

05:41 schestowitz-TR; if you don't get the data, which required filling forma and getting csv files

05:41 schestowitz-TR; then you go by written summaries

05:41 schestowitz-TR; they gloated deaths were "down" this year

05:41 schestowitz-TR; they were down like 0.05%

05:41 schestowitz-TR; compared to 2021 (pandemic!)

05:41 schestowitz-TR; but you need to check pre-pandemic

05:41 schestowitz-TR; I can find the uel

05:41 schestowitz-TR; it is, in my mind, rather misleading

05:41 schestowitz-TR; CDC: ok, let's save 1KB in a 100KB pages

05:41 schestowitz-TR; this will save them bandwidth costs

05:41 schestowitz-TR; (a bit)

05:44 techrights-sec; There is a category of videos taken of people saying goodbye before

05:44 techrights-sec; they are put into a 'coma', effectively euthenized. It's a specific word,

05:44 techrights-sec; but I can't recall it at the moment.

05:44 techrights-sec; It won't save them any money but will hide the problem. Any cost saving

05:44 techrights-sec; assertions are lies used to misdirect from hiding the data.

14:31 schestowitz-TR; but they never did anything to help bloggers

14:31 schestowitz-TR; maybe I should remove that old frond page banner from TR (EFF and bloggers)

14:43 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-schestowitz.com Blog Archive UK COVID-19 Vaccination Statistics Partly Fabricated Or?

14:43 schestowitz-TR; white lies?

14:44 techrights-sec; Hmm. Invidious had autoplay. :( :(

14:45 schestowitz-TR; depends on browser

14:45 schestowitz-TR; only falkon auto-plays for me

14:47 techrights-sec; Is there a transcript Transcripts take seconds or minutes to read, but videos

14:47 techrights-sec; require lots of time and proper conditions to even have a chance at following.

14:47 techrights-sec; tldr; no comment

14:47 schestowitz-TR; yes, I read the video description (very long but concise) before watching it

14:51 schestowitz-TR; now that I think about it, I shouls reproduced the description in my blog

14:56 schestowitz-TR; done

14:56 schestowitz-TR; reproducing the text is cheap, not the videos

14:56 schestowitz-TR; his channel is already marked for death

14:56 schestowitz-TR; he will be deplatformed one day

14:57 techrights-sec; maybe a good idea

14:57 techrights-sec; If youtube delete a video or account, is it also gone from invidious too?

14:57 techrights-sec; s/If/When/

14:59 schestowitz-TR; I think you misunderstood what invidious is

14:59 schestowitz-TR; it's more like alternative UI

14:59 schestowitz-TR; without JS and Gulag spying, except the data source

14:59 schestowitz-TR; the issue is, when they kill off his channel the scxriprion too will be gone

14:59 schestowitz-TR; and it'll be hard to recover any

14:59 schestowitz-TR; invidious retrieves that text with the API

14:59 schestowitz-TR; no video -> no description, comments... nothing

14:59 schestowitz-TR; and he includes the links

14:59 schestowitz-TR; rianne is watching it atm

14:59 schestowitz-TR; I told her I had been saying the same for a year

14:59 schestowitz-TR; and he uses mostly the same data sources

14:59 schestowitz-TR; except his audience is vast


3 PM, October 18

15:00 techrights-sec; oh

15:00 techrights-sec; in that case it's 100% dependent on Youtube allowing the channel or video to

15:00 techrights-sec; continue to exist there. Has he diversifiedd and mirror his videos elsewhere?

15:05 schestowitz-TR; afaik, no

15:05 schestowitz-TR; he is a teacher, not an "IT" person

15:05 schestowitz-TR; and he uses Microsoft extensively

15:05 schestowitz-TR; he chooses MOOX in the video, through other formats do exist

15:05 schestowitz-TR; if you search his name in gulagtube you will see ad hom and hack jobs

15:05 schestowitz-TR; if they cannot find a way to deplatform thousands of videos (many lectures since 2007)

15:05 schestowitz-TR; they try to offer reasons to avoid the messenger

15:05 schestowitz-TR; reminds me of asssange

15:05 schestowitz-TR; wikipedia is still online

15:05 schestowitz-TR; but the editor is behind bars and "discredited"

15:05 schestowitz-TR; something something "Russia" bad

15:05 schestowitz-TR; he is an open access person, his phd relates to that

15:05 schestowitz-TR; teaching

15:05 schestowitz-TR; I remember they said in switerland only 60% got covid vaccines

15:06 schestowitz-TR; maybe switzerland was not "hesistent" but just more honest

15:06 schestowitz-TR; no herd mindset like some countries

15:06 schestowitz-TR; where people were treated like criminals if they walked away from the herd

15:06 schestowitz-TR; a warning sign was, to me, when they said 110k nhs workers turned it down

15:06 schestowitz-TR; a lot more than you would expect based on the overall picture

15:06 schestowitz-TR; but the goal was to shame the nhs

15:06 schestowitz-TR; s/wikipedia/wikileaks/

15:06 techrights-sec; ack

15:06 techrights-sec; ack

15:06 techrights-sec; Yes, several interests do anything to put the NHS in a bad light, if they

15:06 techrights-sec; are unable to actively harm it.

15:11 schestowitz-TR; if AZ is paid in bulk based on # of doses and patent licences based on "unixs"

15:11 schestowitz-TR; *units"

15:11 schestowitz-TR; then what we see here might be criminal

15:11 schestowitz-TR; like gulf states buying Microsoft for depats that don't even have computers!

15:11 schestowitz-TR; a friend of mine who's a cop got almost discarded doses in march 2021

15:11 schestowitz-TR; there were no takers

15:11 schestowitz-TR; and so they invited them in

15:11 schestowitz-TR; so they don't think them away

15:11 schestowitz-TR; almost all of them (young peolle) got sick

15:11 schestowitz-TR; they had to shut the police station

15:11 schestowitz-TR; they administered it in the stadium across the road from us

15:11 schestowitz-TR; I did see reports shaming the public for "wastes" doses

15:11 schestowitz-TR; and outrage over not sending them abroad

15:11 schestowitz-TR; AZ overcharging us

15:11 schestowitz-TR; AZ with a shareholder who likes to fly Lolita Express ;/

15:11 schestowitz-TR; and whom you cannot name in twitter anymore

15:11 schestowitz-TR; even if you talk about patents and graft

15:19 techrights-sec; AZ and the others are using that to distract from having basically stolen

15:19 techrights-sec; public research and sold it under misappropriated patents.

15:22 schestowitz-TR; spoke to rianne about it just now

15:22 schestowitz-TR; I reckon antivaxxer in the UK are a fringe group of maybe 1%

15:22 schestowitz-TR; maybe 10% in US based on intituton

15:22 schestowitz-TR; not just religious nuts

15:22 schestowitz-TR; but I can imagine why many were sceptical

15:22 schestowitz-TR; like the doctors of my friends who said it was harming the knees

15:22 schestowitz-TR; and indeed I see anecdtal consistency

15:22 schestowitz-TR; as I lack topics for TR maybe I'll take a look at the links and double/sanity-check

15:22 schestowitz-TR; if ONS gave us false numbers, it's a blunder

15:22 schestowitz-TR; because then people can ask, what else did they deceive on?

15:22 schestowitz-TR; it's the boy who cried wolf

15:22 schestowitz-TR; heck, maybe even mortality data has omissions

15:22 schestowitz-TR; it did in the past have major backlogs

15:22 schestowitz-TR; and they did not retroactively correct publications

15:22 schestowitz-TR; if we cannot trust anything from ONS, it's a crisis of confidence

15:22 schestowitz-TR; like CDC hiding older data

15:22 schestowitz-TR; at least CDC did not fabricate

15:22 schestowitz-TR; only omit for optics

15:23 techrights-sec; ack

15:23 techrights-sec; Some of that is to desensitize people and make them ignore the situation

15:43 schestowitz-TR; I made copies (uploads too) of excess deaths reports

15:57 schestowitz-TR; ok, the numbers do match, but the reports on mortality cite "ONS" and so I'm basically looking at the same

15:57 schestowitz-TR; source from two angles

15:57 schestowitz-TR; that is HSA cicing ONS

15:57 schestowitz-TR; *citing

21:18 schestowitz; As part of its goal to build a provably secure platform that's optimized for embedded devices that run ML applications, Google has open sourced several components of its KataOS secure operating system.

21:18 schestowitz; Additionally, Google is building a reference implementation for KataOS called Sparrow, which combines KataOS with a secured hardware platform.

21:18 schestowitz; The current GitHub release includes core KataOS pieces, including the frameworks we use for Rust (such as the sel4-sys crate, which provides seL4 syscall APIs), an alternate rootserver written in Rust (needed for dynamic system-wide memory management), and the kernel modifications to seL4 that can reclaim the memory used by the rootserver.
