04:21 schestowitz-TR2; Upside of Microsoft SPAM machine for HEY HI (while LAYING OFF many in the "marketing" department/FUD teams): oversight or lack of FUD against GNU/Linux. They threw 99% of the efforts into this lie that "SEARCH ENGINES ARE DEAD" ("oh, here, use a chatbot that lies instead")
04:22 schestowitz-pi; psydruid: they are the wheel in the rodent's cage

04:53 schestowitz-pi2; it looks like the router just rebooted itself after patch applied last night
04:53 schestowitz-pi2; this time the ssh connection stayed alive and the ip address did not change
04:53 schestowitz-pi2; hopefully that's not just a matter of luck
04:53 schestowitz-pi2; as that saves a lot of time/trouble
05:45 techrights[sec]; If m$ is unable to spam the search engines, they will likely counter the loss
05:45 techrights[sec]; by trying to become the front-end (e.g. with their wonky LLM) or by , as you
05:45 techrights[sec]; point out, starting a whisper campaign against search engines in general.
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; doctorow's essay on this echoes my thoughts because
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; what people should satrive for are actual web pages
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; composed by domain experts
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; like fish enthusiasts
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; not some wordmachine
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; btw, i took a look at linux.com
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; as LF was eerily quiet this month
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; and not just because i abandoned quiterss
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; wtf happened to linux.com???????????????????
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; they should free up the dns space
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; and let someone else run such an important domain
05:47 schestowitz-pi2; if they're unwilling or incapable of doing so themeslves
05:48 techrights[sec]; I suspect that the VCcode spam is part of that whisper campaign, as it's so new.

05:49 schestowitz-pi2; vscode
05:49 schestowitz-pi2; 1) proprietary
05:49 schestowitz-pi2; 2) spyware
05:49 schestowitz-pi2; 3) controlled by Microsoft
05:49 schestowitz-pi2; 4) pushed GPL violations (copilot)
05:49 schestowitz-pi2; 5) github etc.
05:49 schestowitz-pi2; kate does all the important stuff coders need, inc. git integration
05:50 techrights[sec]; Yes, Linux.com should hand it over to non-m$ community leaders.
05:50 techrights[sec]; VSCode is just another attempt to become a^wthe bottleneck in all development.
05:50 techrights[sec]; Kate is excellent, Geany is excellent. Either obviate any perceived benefits
05:50 techrights[sec]; that m$ garbage might have talked up but all without the disadvantagees of the
05:50 techrights[sec]; m$ gargabe.

06:10 techrightssec; ^garbage
06:11 schestowitz-TR2; this would be a step in a good direction
06:11 schestowitz-TR2; but oligarchy would use it
06:11 schestowitz-TR2; for wage reduction
06:11 schestowitz-TR2; and might not like people having spare time
06:12 schestowitz-TR2; as they can use it toorganise
06:14 schestowitz-pi2; one theme i'd like to explore (interjecting a bit, don't mind the above),
06:14 schestowitz-pi2; is what happened to "the news"
06:14 schestowitz-pi2; news cycles
06:14 schestowitz-pi2; news on the web
06:14 schestowitz-pi2; ownership
06:14 schestowitz-pi2; as it seems to be an unexplored or barely expllored problem
06:14 schestowitz-pi2; linux.com is part of a borader trend here
06:14 schestowitz-pi2; and that has little to do with "advertising industry" or ad blocking etc
06:14 schestowitz-pi2; the subject has come up in the US, partly because of Sanders,
06:14 schestowitz-pi2; as if they fail to fund the media oligarchs will control the narrative all across the board
06:54 schestowitz-pi2; i linked to that hours ago, spoke with wife about what this would have meant to us
06:54 schestowitz-pi2; had there been no vendatta
06:54 schestowitz-pi2; and they did the separation "properly"
06:54 schestowitz-pi2; anyway, this is the us, not the uk
06:54 schestowitz-pi2; i am not familiar with the law here because the media does not cover this much
08:27 schestowitz-pi2; sam varghese is vanishing again
08:27 schestowitz-pi2; biab, exercise

09:36 techrights[sec]; What is the fallout from Gemany's corruptin and fraud regarding the refusal to
09:36 techrights[sec]; acknowledge the death of the Unified Patent Court>
09:36 techrights[sec]; ?
09:38 schestowitz-pi2; it is not just germany
09:38 schestowitz-pi2; it's a national thing
09:38 schestowitz-pi2; a class thing
09:38 schestowitz-pi2; an occupational thing
09:38 schestowitz-pi2; belenux, oligarchy, patent lawyers...
09:38 schestowitz-pi2; a multifaceted conflict of interest exemplifies
09:38 schestowitz-pi2; death of properly function system ('democracy' unfit a label for this)
09:38 schestowitz-pi2; *functioning
09:42 schestowitz-pi2; yes, the remark about mozilal is maybe a tad too harsh but not far from the truth
09:42 schestowitz-pi2; money and scum like gulagboy tuen everything to shit
09:42 schestowitz-pi2; like stuffing pluton this week into linux
09:42 schestowitz-pi2; brown-nosing microsoft

12:04 schestowitz-pi2; the page does not say Microsoft
12:04 schestowitz-pi2; not even a sponsor
12:04 schestowitz-pi2; where can it be shown?
12:04 schestowitz-pi2; i also see microsoft stefaono there
12:04 schestowitz-pi2; lots of speakers in total
12:04 schestowitz-pi2; microsoft is a racist-sexist trap
12:04 schestowitz-pi2; checking who else is there
12:04 schestowitz-pi2; there are at least 2 or 3 micromoles there
12:04 schestowitz-pi2; but on on a % level, they are not much
12:04 schestowitz-pi2; how many keynotes in total
12:04 schestowitz-pi2; 3 if you count MS MVP
12:04 schestowitz-pi2; not counting several ex-Microsoft there
12:06 schestowitz-pi2; can you check if in past years they also had MSFT spakers
12:06 schestowitz-pi2; and/or microsoft as sponsor?
12:06 schestowitz-pi2; this is not enough of a smoking gun's smoke
12:06 schestowitz-pi2; given the ratio of microsoft
12:06 schestowitz-pi2; and microsoft not listed as sponsor
12:07 *psydroid2 has quit (connection closed)
12:14 schestowitz-pi2; wait, I know how I can approach this, as a side note
12:14 schestowitz-pi2; i usualyl pounce at these things, this time I can envision the comeback, but I already have a related
12:14 schestowitz-pi2; draft and can merge the issues
13:02 schestowitz-pi2; excelent that we've now established a timeline and when it started
13:02 schestowitz-pi2; going to make a post out of this later
13:02 schestowitz-pi2; the new workflow is a lot more efficient
13:02 schestowitz-pi2; but what's time consuming now it wading through and choosing more news picks
13:02 schestowitz-pi2; that's ok though, but must allocate more time to do aricles
13:02 schestowitz-pi2; by setting time limits/boundaries/squotas
13:02 schestowitz-pi2; got some topics to cover, but none urgent
13:02 schestowitz-pi2; seems like FUD capacity at Microsoft has gone down
13:03 schestowitz-pi2; companies in panic, with layoffs avoided at all costs to save face
13:04 techrights[sec]; Layoffs there are usually hidden in various ways.
13:16 schestowitz-pi2; ryan's latest blog post, basxed on irc, was liked by rianne and by me
13:16 schestowitz-pi2; worth a read
13:16 schestowitz-pi2; not for TR, but covers some OK points
13:16 schestowitz-pi2; without casual racism
13:24 techrights[sec]; checking
13:24 techrights[sec]; ack

13:56 schestowitz-pi2; sjvn
13:56 schestowitz-pi2; "media partner" is like at EPO
13:56 schestowitz-pi2; take the money from the sponsors
13:56 schestowitz-pi2; e.g. black duck this year
13:56 schestowitz-pi2; and pass it to sjvn to do some "requested" (by sponsors) puff pieces

16:50 schestowitz-pi2; i did manage to produce some posts today
16:50 schestowitz-pi2; some were 'urgent'
16:50 schestowitz-pi2; the fish we put in the hospital is not doing well
16:50 schestowitz-pi2; but my hopes for her were not high
16:50 schestowitz-pi2; going to focus on catching up with links now
16:50 schestowitz-pi2; other than that, all is quiet and calm on the eastern front
16:52 techrights[sec]; M$ infiltration of and destruction of the conferences is an important topic.
16:52 techrights[sec]; It goes all the way back to the incidents covered in the Plaintiff's Exhibits
16:52 techrights[sec]; from Comes v M$ when they bragged about killing two Macintosh conferences.
16:52 techrights[sec]; A very similar thing is going on here.
16:53 schestowitz-pi2; i plan to maybe do a video about this tomorrow, in the same batch as epo videos
16:53 schestowitz-pi2; it's called "killing with kindness"
16:53 schestowitz-pi2; kindness = "microsoft loves linux"
16:55 techrights[sec]; 'smile while pulling the trigger'
16:55 techrights[sec]; Wasn't it Christine Hall who said something about "microsoft loves linux"
16:55 techrights[sec]; :: "I love chicken"
16:56 schestowitz-pi2; yes, but many said similar things
16:56 schestowitz-pi2; similar analogies
