07:27 schestowitz-TR; gm

07:27 schestowitz-TR; got camelcase

07:27 schestowitz-TR; btw, seems like sam's feed at itwire is no longer filled with the obligatory webspam ('articles') and

07:27 schestowitz-TR; is just his own

07:27 schestowitz-TR; based on the past week

07:29 Techrights-sec; gm

07:29 Techrights-sec; it's still worth dealing with ITWire manually since although it does have

07:29 Techrights-sec; some really good articles from time to time, for the most part it is tri[e

07:29 Techrights-sec; ^trip

07:29 Techrights-sec; ^tripe

07:29 schestowitz-TR; yes, I associate them with the tripe

07:29 schestowitz-TR; that's their "business model"

07:50 Techrights-sec; though as mentioned several times Sam's articles tend to be good and then

07:50 Techrights-sec; there are occasionally others too


8 AM, May 20

08:06 schestowitz-TR; Curious: how do you feel since stoping to scroll through mastodon blobs looking for "toots"?

08:06 schestowitz-TR; "algo speak" is partly outrage speak or clickbair speak

08:06 schestowitz-TR; looking to get noticed in a sea of billions of daily mindfarts with little actual contribution to human

08:06 schestowitz-TR; knowledge

08:07 Techrights-sec; in a word, better

08:07 Techrights-sec; less stress

08:07 Techrights-sec; I still scan for URLs abotu once a week but if the entry does not have an

08:07 Techrights-sec; obvious URL, I don't read it

08:08 schestowitz-TR; No URL -> no reference -> usually just some random though that cannot be verified

08:08 schestowitz-TR; "number of likes" does not mean likelihood of accuracy

08:08 schestowitz-TR; sometimes it means the opposite

08:08 schestowitz-TR; it is "outrage score

08:08 Techrights-sec; exactly

08:08 Techrights-sec; yes "engagement" does not relate to veracity or relevance.

08:09 schestowitz-TR; "not that I got your attention," says the unlothed person...

08:10 Techrights-sec; I should probably check sometime in the next few days, but really don't feel

08:10 Techrights-sec; like wasting that time

08:12 schestowitz-TR; in 2009-2010 we had an identi.ca bot in IRC

08:12 schestowitz-TR; It wouls coop up people like Moody and Greve

08:12 schestowitz-TR; Then, when posting IRC logs (we've done this since 2008) I'd click on LINKS they post

08:12 schestowitz-TR; and consider them as RSS feed equivalent

08:12 schestowitz-TR; but I found that overwhelming at times

08:12 schestowitz-TR; as that was a lot of links, even back then

08:12 schestowitz-TR; but curated at least

08:12 Techrights-sec; Glyn Moody writes quite well and always on relevant and interesting topics

08:12 Techrights-sec; but does not have a central place where one can find what he has written

08:12 Techrights-sec; so it is hard to know where and when he has written

08:13 schestowitz-TR; Open dot dot dot...

08:13 schestowitz-TR; He used to post there a daily roundup of his quips, or maybe that's a seperate blog

08:13 schestowitz-TR; If the latter, I'm quit sure he stopped maintaining it >5 years ago

08:13 schestowitz-TR; he never had a site of his own, AFAIK

08:13 schestowitz-TR; GoogleSpot was the cloest thing

08:14 Techrights-sec; https://opendotdotdot.blogspot.com

↺ https://opendotdotdot.blogspot.com

08:14 Techrights-sec; that;s only his personal writings not his paid work

08:14 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-opendotdotdot.blogspot.com | open...

08:15 schestowitz-TR; he already lost his spot at Linux Journal

08:15 schestowitz-TR; He lost Gulag+

08:15 schestowitz-TR; He lost Diaspora

08:15 schestowitz-TR; He lost Identica

08:15 schestowitz-TR; Musk Social is left

08:15 schestowitz-TR; and maybe some "toot" thing...

08:15 schestowitz-TR; Maybe

08:16 Techrights-sec; :/

08:16 Techrights-sec; no work-related writings there either

08:16 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Glyn Moody (@glynmoody@mastodon.social) - Mastodon

08:17 schestowitz-TR; he chose the mega-instance, mastodon.'social'

08:17 schestowitz-TR; known for restrictions on speech

08:19 schestowitz-TR; fyi suepo is escalating

08:19 schestowitz-TR; and will enhance the actions

08:19 schestowitz-TR; it's confirmed to me techrights caused the ourage

08:19 schestowitz-TR; I put some details in irc

08:20 schestowitz-TR; not in the blog

08:20 schestowitz-TR; boasting/bragging is a weakness

08:20 schestowitz-TR; and a risk/liability

08:20 schestowitz-TR; so I left that out of last night's articles

08:20 schestowitz-TR; eventually it's team upc losing its cool

08:20 schestowitz-TR; and looking like a bunch of ogres

08:20 schestowitz; " The inflation in the Netherlands of 11.2% and in Germany of 7.8% over the last 12 months accounts for far more than a double step reward (on average 1 step equals 2%). Less than 60% of eligible staff (actually less than 50% of all staff) may receive a single step let alone a double step this year. This is the worst year in the career of EPO staff which comes at the time when staff worked diligently through the worst pandemic of the century and

08:20 schestowitz; the worst inflation since the EPO inception."

08:23 Techrights-sec; ack

08:23 Techrights-sec; Does SUEPO have a concise summary for outsiders on their site, yet?

08:23 Techrights-sec; It would go a long way to be able to point to the original source from time

08:23 Techrights-sec; to time.

08:24 schestowitz-TR; the site helps the union communicate with its members

08:32 Techrights-sec; yes but there ought to be at least a little outward communication

08:40 Techrights-sec; by the way, Glyn's books have been quite good,

08:40 Techrights-sec; "Digital Code of Life: How Bioinformatics is Revolutionizing Science, Medicine, and Business by Glyn Moody" was hard to get aho

08:40 Techrights-sec; ld of though

08:40 Techrights-sec; Apparently there is not much market for books any more

08:40 Techrights-sec; "Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution" is more relevant than ever

08:40 Techrights-sec; but the younger generations who need that message can't/don't read anything

08:40 Techrights-sec; longer that a "tweet"

08:40 schestowitz-TR; when did you last sit in a queue and saw a kid reading a physical book

08:40 schestowitz-TR; rather than mess around with some "phone"?

08:41 Techrights-sec; Must be ove a decade.

08:41 Techrights-sec; A couple of years ago I helped one kid find a book for a book report. He wa

08:41 Techrights-sec; was supposedly a top student but whined and struggled with a ~ 100 page

08:41 Techrights-sec; novella, I figure he probably used the LibriVox edition rather than the

08:41 Techrights-sec; paperback I loaned him. But I haven't even heard second hand of anyone under

08:41 Techrights-sec; 40 or so reading anything, whether an ebook or a real book.

08:41 Techrights-sec; Some will listen to podcasts and such but give equal weight to those as to

08:41 Techrights-sec; well researched works. However most seem to be "engaged" in tiktok or whatsapp

08:41 Techrights-sec; or similar empty timewasters.

10:39 Techrights-sec; over the past few weeks there have been several links from ec.europa.eu

10:39 Techrights-sec; regarding patents and,potentially, software patents, if you are looking for

10:39 Techrights-sec; such material, those can warrant a close look

10:39 Techrights-sec; The opportunity for feedback closed 9 May, so that has come and gone

10:39 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ec.europa.eu | Have your say

10:39 schestowitz-TR; thanks,

10:39 schestowitz-TR; I was just ota when you typed it

10:39 schestowitz-TR; responding to a video of Campinos

10:39 schestowitz-TR; a

10:39 schestowitz-TR; 1-hour rebuttasl

10:39 schestowitz-TR; this inc. exactly this subject

10:39 schestowitz-TR; like "harmonisation"

10:44 Techrights-sec; Apple, for example, submitted 81 pages of comment pushing for patents and such

10:44 schestowitz-TR; well, apple is a european company based in reland :-)

10:45 Techrights-sec; :(

10:45 schestowitz-TR; maybe they should take the demands/advice of yandex and huawei too

10:50 Techrights-sec; it would be about as inappropriate

10:50 Techrights-sec; Unfortunately there is rarely any coverage for these consultations unless,

10:50 Techrights-sec; like this time, it happens after the period has closed

10:51 schestowitz-TR; tickbox-checking exercise

10:51 schestowitz-TR; "we did open up to feedback"

10:51 schestowitz-TR; (from corporations, not even European ones)


11 AM, May 20

11:02 Techrights-sec; yep

11:02 schestowitz-TR; just found and enabled a screen drawing thing in kwin so I can paint on top of things I show

11:02 schestowitz-TR; in fututr videos

11:10 Techrights-sec; interesting capability

11:10 schestowitz-TR; the campinos video will take ages to process

11:11 schestowitz-TR; I will likely do more like that

11:11 schestowitz-TR; knowing it gets under his skin

11:11 schestowitz-TR; "show me what hurts you"

11:11 schestowitz-TR; "so I know what yo do more of'

11:42 schestowitz-TR; draft

11:42 schestowitz-TR; so you think the term "Monpoly Tony" is

11:42 schestowitz-TR; 1) polite enough

11:42 schestowitz-TR; 2) informative enough

11:42 schestowitz-TR; 3) effective

11:42 schestowitz-TR; ?

11:42 schestowitz-TR; Adopting it would //

11:42 schestowitz-TR; a) be stupid

11:42 schestowitz-TR; b) become catchy

11:42 schestowitz-TR; ?

11:48 Techrights-sec; it'd be too unclear about to whom it refers, best stick with the given name

11:48 Techrights-sec; it also may help in "SEO" to associate his name with TR articles ...

11:48 schestowitz-TR; first name or last name?

11:48 schestowitz-TR; "Monpopoly Antonia Campinos" is too long and not catchy

11:48 schestowitz-TR; I will link the name Monopoly Tony o his wiki page

11:48 schestowitz-TR; Monopoly Tony has a "sing" to it

11:50 Techrights-sec; both

11:50 Techrights-sec; right but an eptithet might not be necessary

11:50 Techrights-sec; if you introduce him in each article as 'Antonio "Mr Monopoly" Campinos' then

11:50 Techrights-sec; for the rest of that current article you can simply refer to him as

11:50 Techrights-sec; Mr Mono-oloy, but it is important that the full name show up at least once

11:50 Techrights-sec; in each relevant article

11:50 schestowitz-TR; Ok, the headline says his name

11:50 schestowitz-TR; and then the eptithet links to a wiki page s he loatghes deeply

11:50 schestowitz-TR; also, the target audience here knows who that us

11:50 schestowitz-TR; *is

11:50 Techrights-sec; that's ok, the repetition of the full name is important for later and for

11:50 Techrights-sec; newcomers and for the search engines, so three reasons IMHO

11:51 schestowitz-TR; makes sense!

11:51 schestowitz-TR; I notice terms we use are adopted inside and outside EPO, over time...


noon, May 20

12:21 Techrights-sec; excellent

12:21 schestowitz-TR; I'm guessing you saw some quotes in #techrights last night about what had happened

15:36 schestowitz-TR; some god news from turkey

15:36 schestowitz-TR; I'm not too ffond of their regime

15:36 schestowitz-TR; but they do represent a success story on the SF side

15:36 Techrights-sec; excellent

15:36 Techrights-sec; Aral's doing?

15:36 schestowitz-TR; no, see latest 2 posts in TR

15:36 schestowitz-TR; Aral was a Mac fanboy for too long

15:36 schestowitz-TR; he still loves JS

15:37 Techrights-sec; Aral's doing?

15:37 Techrights-sec; yes javascript is a major downside to his work

15:37 schestowitz-TR; tim b-l's also, plus GITHUB!

15:40 Techrights-sec; timbl rendered himself mostly irrelevant as far as the future goes when

15:40 Techrights-sec; he folded on EME / DRM

15:41 psydroid2; Solid/Inrupt

15:41 schestowitz-TR; Tim's Rusty Linus moment

15:41 schestowitz-TR; or some other analogies

15:41 schestowitz-TR; or RMS going to lecture... Microsoft, only to be thrown under a bus to distract from BillG 2 weeks later?

15:41 schestowitz-TR; psydroid2: solid went nowhere

15:41 schestowitz-TR; except Microsoft

15:42 psydroid2; schestowitz-TR, I saw him do his presentation at FOSDEM 19, but halfway through someone from IRC came to meet me and we left

15:42 Techrights-sec; I still don't get what went on with RMS that he would have such exceedingly bad

15:42 Techrights-sec; jusdgment as to visit Redmond

15:43 psydroid2; it's not that I was overly interested in it, it just gave me a chuckle that he was even trying to peddle this lame duck

15:43 schestowitz-TR; I asked him to write to explain

15:43 schestowitz-TR; which he did

15:43 schestowitz-TR; and then the storm started

15:43 schestowitz-TR; so he mostly vanished

15:44 Techrights-sec; so maybe he will never bring it up again?

15:44 Techrights-sec; too bad, others could learn from that mistake if more details were known

15:45 schestowitz-TR; psydroid2: I know very little about it

15:45 schestowitz-TR; except Microsoft shit+JS shit

15:45 psydroid2; schestowitz-TR, it just sounded so lame

15:45 schestowitz-TR; and he was helping DRM agenda around that time

15:45 schestowitz-TR; a senior moment

15:45 psydroid2; as if he was trying to keep people onboard

15:45 psydroid2; rather than suggesting a way out of the mess

15:46 psydroid2; I would not trust this guy with anything ever again

15:46 Techrights-sec; I see the two posts on market share in Turkey

15:46 Techrights-sec; It would help if there were a link from the statement that school migratinos

15:46 Techrights-sec; play a large role in the numbers

15:47 schestowitz-TR; the statements would not be in englisha dn in fact english-speaking media totally ignored all this

15:47 schestowitz-TR; I can guess why

15:47 schestowitz-TR; you can too

15:47 Techrights-sec; yes AFAIK similar happened in Spain, starting with Extremadura. The mainstream

15:47 Techrights-sec; press pretended the land had vanished as it upgraded tp GNU/Linux and dropped

15:47 Techrights-sec; M$ all around.

15:48 psydroid2; I speak Spanish pretty well, but my Turkish is in its infancy

15:48 psydroid2; there is a lot to be found in Spanish

15:50 Techrights-sec; Yes, /in/ Spanish but not about Spain in English...

15:51 schestowitz-TR; the nature of media manipulation

15:51 schestowitz-TR; a) microsoft holes blamed on victims and attackers

15:51 schestowitz-TR; b) billg is vaccine expert, not profiteers, and his haters are all just "antiovaxxer" and jealous

15:52 psydroid2; fortunately English isn't the only language spoken in the world

15:53 psydroid2; and I don't think it's fair to expect people from each country to write in a foreign language to reach a wider audience

15:54 Techrights-sec; :)

15:59 schestowitz-TR; IIRC, Spanish is spoke in most countries

15:59 schestowitz-TR; maybe Arabic by most people

15:59 schestowitz-TR; if not Mandarin

15:59 schestowitz-TR; English spoken as a secondary language in many places


4 PM, May 20

16:00 schestowitz-TR; or third language

16:00 schestowitz-TR; after the fall of the British Empire and see US hegemony this will change

16:00 psydroid2; Hindi

16:00 schestowitz-TR; that can take several more generations to change

16:00 schestowitz-TR; psydroid2: but many dialects in India, no?

16:01 schestowitz-TR; in school, aged around 10, I did a project about Indian languages

16:01 schestowitz-TR; I might still have that somewhere in my archives

16:01 psydroid2; schestowitz-TR, yes, but this is specifically about standard Hindi

16:01 psydroid2; I speak another North Indian language natively

16:01 psydroid2; in addition to Hindi

16:01 Techrights-sec; Not in the country but at least those outside the country covering that beat.

16:01 Techrights-sec; Spain was covered up until major parts dropped M$.

16:01 Techrights-sec; However, there is a margeting and political advantage for each country

16:01 Techrights-sec; presenting an English language news service for foreign consumption.

16:02 psydroid2; I think that's more important if English is the only foreign language you speak

16:03 psydroid2; German is still very important in Europe

16:03 psydroid2; and French when speaking to people in Africa

16:03 schestowitz-TR; western africa

16:06 psydroid2; and Anglophone countries abuse that power they have over people who at most speak English in addition to their native language(s) by offering bad living/working conditions

17:35 schestowitz-TR; same issue re EPO and "AYE PEE"

17:35 schestowitz-TR; FUCK THE MEDIA!

18:51 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Outsourcing one's readership to a volatile third party seems like short-sighted and risky a move from a site almost 30 years old https://lwn.net/Articles/895898/

↺ https://lwn.net/Articles/895898/

18:51 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-LWN is now on Mastodon [LWN.net]

18:54 schestowitz-TR; laws is well known

18:54 schestowitz-TR; not some new incognito

18:54 schestowitz-TR; case scanario: "oh, cool, I can follow all the sites here... FREE CANDY!"

18:54 schestowitz-TR; user stops using the rss feed, uses this instead

18:54 schestowitz-TR; instance shuts down

18:54 schestowitz-TR; reader lost

18:54 schestowitz-TR; "oh, shit, I forgot you exist or thought you stopped publishing!!"

18:54 schestowitz-TR; /s/laws/LWN/

18:55 Techrights-sec; ack

18:55 Techrights-sec; which source for the quote?

18:59 schestowitz-TR; just hypothetical, joke

18:59 schestowitz-TR; a long long time ago I worried about that

18:59 schestowitz-TR; 2010 or earlier

18:59 schestowitz-TR; boycott novell days

18:59 schestowitz-TR; now LWN can become "just some account"

18:59 schestowitz-TR; and people might not even explore the site

18:59 Techrights-sec; ack

18:59 schestowitz-TR; it's like B2B marketing

18:59 schestowitz-TR; instead of setting up shop

18:59 schestowitz-TR; you see:

18:59 schestowitz-TR; it's OK if people link to LWN

18:59 schestowitz-TR; but people won't assume that those peolple are LWN

18:59 schestowitz-TR; or that LWN is an account

18:59 schestowitz-TR; they also chose a likely very transient instgance

18:59 schestowitz-TR; fosstodon

18:59 schestowitz-TR; it is only years old

19:08 schestowitz-TR; how do you prove intent

19:08 schestowitz-TR; as in "intnetional"?

19:08 schestowitz-TR; boycott novell can be banned in an instance

19:08 schestowitz-TR; it is intentionaly antagonistic to some things

19:08 schestowitz-TR; yoiu are REQUIRED to be "active in the community"

19:08 schestowitz-TR; so you cannot post just links to lwn with a script

19:08 schestowitz-TR; to your own site

19:08 schestowitz-TR; you must leave some "likes" and comments here and there

19:08 schestowitz-TR; Orwell would be proud

19:08 schestowitz-TR; cannot "engege in personao attacls"

19:08 schestowitz-TR; oh, shit, there go all my posts about Zemlin

19:08 schestowitz-TR; the millionaire

19:08 Techrights-sec; :(

19:08 Techrights-sec; or they can intentionally misconstrue everything and anything as a personal

19:08 Techrights-sec; attack

19:08 schestowitz-TR; rule number one says "antiSemitism" and "transphobia"

19:08 schestowitz-TR; under "hateful ideaologies"

19:08 schestowitz-TR; HAHAHAHA

19:08 schestowitz-TR; "do not debate moderation action"

19:08 schestowitz-TR; they are above the law!

19:08 schestowitz-TR; Cannot even talk about their decisions!!

19:08 schestowitz-TR; You MUST post only in ENGLISH!

19:08 schestowitz-TR; Because...oderation
