04:03 techrights[sec]; The UPC fraud being perpetrated by Germany is an importat topic
04:03 techrights[sec]; ^European Patent Court
04:03 schestowitz-pi; EU patent 'court'
04:03 schestowitz-pi; sorry, typing another post atm
04:03 schestowitz-pi; trying to get missig ref through irc
04:03 schestowitz-pi; removed from my list all the feeds you identified as invalid
04:03 schestowitz-pi; multitasking a lot atm

04:10 techrights[sec]; Edge is a derivative of Chromium
04:10 techrights[sec]; ^m$ edge
04:10 schestowitz-pi; added a screenshot just now
04:10 schestowitz-pi; yes, they managed to make chrome even more malicious
04:23 techrights[sec]; https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-microsoft-edge-chromium-installing-automatically-windows-10
04:23 techrights[sec]; Chrome is derivative of Chromium
04:23 techrights[sec]; also
04:23 techrights[sec]; Opera is also a derivative of Chromium
04:23 techrights[sec]; Brave is a derivative of Chromium, too
04:23 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.windowscentral.com | How to prevent new Microsoft Edge from installing automatically on Windows 10 | Windows Central
04:23 techrights[sec]; As are Falkon and Vivaldi, apparently.
04:23 techrights[sec]; So it would be less accurate to call M$ Edge a copycat of Chrome and
04:23 techrights[sec]; more accurate to call it what it is a derivative of Chromium
04:24 schestowitz-pi; chrome is chromium WITH ADDTIONAL malware on top
04:24 schestowitz-pi; edge is the same
04:24 schestowitz-pi; and the addtional malware is likely worse
04:24 schestowitz-pi; the objective is the same
04:24 schestowitz-pi; falkon just uses the rendering engine
04:24 schestowitz-pi; afaik, it does not add any crap on top
04:24 schestowitz-pi; it blocks ads by default, too
04:24 schestowitz-pi; they need to remove DDG

05:21 schestowitz-TR2; 2020: ok, you can work from home. we don't want to let you rest (from work). 2021: come back, please, come back. 2022: you MUST come back to the office, OR ELSE. 2023: don't come back, we don't need you anymore
05:51 schestowitz-pi; going to clean thw whole tank and change the water
05:51 schestowitz-pi; as it is not improving and it seems like there is some food rotting
05:51 schestowitz-pi; 10 more days till ceremony
06:06 schestowitz-pi; i do plan to buy some more things soon
06:06 schestowitz-pi; for a pet, they are not expensive
06:06 schestowitz-pi; and we have big shops near us
06:06 schestowitz-pi; i don't want to add more fish when one already swims diagonally
06:06 schestowitz-pi; which is... unusual
06:06 schestowitz-pi; her body seems healthy thogh, colour, siz

09:51 schestowitz-pi; 2) got 4 danios and some plants
09:51 schestowitz-pi; going to test ph in new and old water now
10:02 schestowitz-pi; 2 zebra, 2 leopard

11:46 schestowitz-pi; different topic: while jogging (way to shop) i was thinking youtube might be next
11:46 schestowitz-pi; to make compulsory charges like twitter and FB
11:46 schestowitz-pi; what for? don't know
11:46 schestowitz-pi; but adding lots of ads did not work
11:46 schestowitz-pi; they pissed off everyone and revenue went DOWN, not UP
11:46 schestowitz-pi; some people thought they had "job security" at gulag's youtube
11:47 schestowitz-pi; ailing to grap it changes every yhear and chages a lot every 3 or 5 years
11:47 schestowitz-pi; gulag is also notorious for shutting things down, e.g. stadia
11:47 schestowitz-pi; imagine developing a game for that. no refund to you.
11:50 techrights[sec]; YouTube is too convenient a means of manipulating the public so it is unlikely
11:50 techrights[sec]; that they'll close it down or even reduce access much.
11:50 techrights[sec]; But they do have a problem in that they have been pissing off and chasing away
11:50 techrights[sec]; both their audience and their video producers.
11:50 techrights[sec]; Fewer feel that they are obliged to stay on Youtube and are finding other
11:50 techrights[sec]; platforms. The other platforms have some of the same problems and some new
11:51 techrights[sec]; ones but will last long enough to be a threat to Youtube
11:51 schestowitz-pi; correct me if I am wrong:
11:51 schestowitz-pi; lbry and its offspring are not p2p like peeetube
11:51 schestowitz-pi; or ?
11:51 schestowitz-pi; decentralised is at least likely to last longer
11:51 schestowitz-pi; like tpb/bittorrent/ipfs
11:52 schestowitz-pi; no single point of failure, not even dns
11:52 schestowitz-pi; barry kluer just wrote about youtube-dl (or offspring) breaking aagin
11:52 schestowitz-pi; i think it's important, so put that in TM front page
11:52 techrights[sec]; LBRY has not proven to be viable yet
11:54 schestowitz-pi; if it is still techncially and legally/financially reliant on crypto-babble
11:54 schestowitz-pi; then it is likely doomed in the long run
11:54 schestowitz-pi; btw, the swiss army knife of gulag youtube informal api for videois under attack
11:54 schestowitz-pi; many other programs rely/ied on it
11:54 schestowitz-pi; maybe even invidious
11:54 schestowitz-pi; rianne says many of the more recet videos are not compatible
11:54 schestowitz-pi; maybe it's that fake 'drm' thing where you need to visit a url for a token
12:11 techrights[sec]; s/crypto-babble/cryptocurrency-babble/
12:11 techrights[sec]; Youtube block their videos with loads of unskippable ads, there are often
12:11 techrights[sec]; longer ads than the video itself. So, in short, there has been no reason to
12:11 techrights[sec]; visit Youtube for many months, except for an occasional video linked to from
12:11 techrights[sec]; outside without such ads. Those are rare.
12:14 schestowitz-pi; thanks to your code I can get updates on indivious again
12:14 schestowitz-pi; i have a cript, url.sh, to convert these to gemini and invidious
12:14 schestowitz-pi; for some reason, probably the rss fields I target, i cannot get these feeds
12:14 schestowitz-pi; to produce much
12:14 schestowitz-pi; either way, a mixture of both works ok
12:14 schestowitz-pi; i am still culling some more problematic domains
12:14 schestowitz-pi; some of them came from thunderbird
12:14 schestowitz-pi; and can be over a decade old
12:40 techrights[sec]; np
12:40 techrights[sec]; feeds tend to be low yield anyway but at least the script streamlines that
12:40 techrights[sec]; process, even above and beyond what quiterss used to do
13:01 schestowitz-pi; quiterss is very good for many things and the best among guis i have used
13:01 schestowitz-pi; but to me there were several limitations
13:01 schestowitz-pi; some of them profound
13:01 schestowitz-pi; and the longer i do not use it, the more remorse i feel about staying with it
13:01 schestowitz-pi; trill the disk died
13:04 techrights[sec]; There were some good things about QuiteRSS but a great many shortcomings.
13:04 techrights[sec]; There are many shortcomings with the script but for me it saves about 50% to
13:04 techrights[sec]; 60% of the /effort/ However, I am not a neutral party in that. ;)
13:09 schestowitz-pi; depends on the use cases and untapped potential
13:09 schestowitz-pi; to whit
13:09 schestowitz-pi; some stuff i did before i do faster now
13:09 schestowitz-pi; and also,as a perk, some things I did not envision before
13:09 schestowitz-pi; are not possible, such as in-line links for blockquotes
13:09 schestowitz-pi; this enriches TM and TR
13:09 schestowitz-pi; this even includes "proper" nesting, styles, and <ul> <ol> lists
13:09 schestowitz-pi; and I am still learning and adapting
13:09 schestowitz-pi; i also widened scope of view to general/politics and _back_ to patents
13:09 schestowitz-pi; trademarks etc.
13:09 schestowitz-pi; i left the latter due to a lack of time and poor s/n ratio when the items were collected
13:09 schestowitz-pi; via gulag noise until late 2021
13:09 schestowitz-pi; i am still modtifying some code to make the workflow smoother and less error-prone
13:09 schestowitz-pi; ass for kde plasma, i ended up using mostly cli and kate for everything, even p/w management
13:09 schestowitz-pi; it's just a lot faster for most things, if you have the patientce
13:09 schestowitz-pi; and then you can psss it to another machine without ssh _X (-X forwarding)
13:09 schestowitz-pi; so in effence one single laptop can have 9 heads, and right now I type into the pi400
13:09 schestowitz-pi; but it is actaully pi->ssh vonick->ssh ytalk
13:17 schestowitz-pi; we used -J a lot with clients
13:17 schestowitz-pi; but...
13:17 schestowitz-pi; some of us used shared accounts
13:17 schestowitz-pi; like "ubuntu" as username
13:17 schestowitz-pi; NOT MY FAULT!!
