09:55 schestowitz-TR; activelow is back
09:55 schestowitz-TR; but not bringing up politics anymore
09:55 Techrights-sec2; ack
09:55 schestowitz-TR; must have realised it was a collision course
10:15 Techrights-sec2; perhaps but at least the behavior is better
10:16 schestowitz-TR; worse case scenario, the person who call us "isms" and links to IRC logs starts calling us nazis or something
10:16 Techrights-sec2; i notice it's back and trolling again
10:17 schestowitz-TR; boredom or a sense of a lack of fulfillment with life/career
10:17 schestowitz-TR; (imho)
10:17 schestowitz-TR; notice he barely blogs anymore
10:17 schestowitz-TR; but has hours to spare on an irc channel where he's not even welcomed
10:17 Techrights-sec2; yes, he/it is just trolling
10:19 schestowitz-TR; I was amused by the defense of spamnil
10:19 schestowitz-TR; as if I'm supposed to only make positive remarks
10:19 schestowitz-TR; even on paid liars who help, for a PAYMENT, vmware cover up abuses against Linux
10:19 schestowitz-TR; btw, nils torvalds has a youtube channel and the number of views is similar to spamnil's (sans the paid click/click fraud)
10:21 Techrights-sec2; I'm not surprised but cannot imagine the convoluted arguments which would be
10:21 Techrights-sec2; required for the defense of spamnil both as a person and as representing
10:21 Techrights-sec2; the LF attack against Linux
10:22 schestowitz-TR; with spamnil the transition did not happen overnight
10:22 schestowitz-TR; it keeps getting worse and worse
10:22 schestowitz-TR; the click fraud started 1-2 months ago
10:22 schestowitz-TR; a sign of sdesperation
10:22 schestowitz-TR; far that people would realise they wasted their time on his "show"
10:22 schestowitz-TR; *fear that
10:24 Techrights-sec2; it did not happen overnight but did happen quickly enough and there were warning
10:24 Techrights-sec2; signs aplenty even back in his muktware days; I simply did not trust him from
10:24 Techrights-sec2; the start
10:24 Techrights-sec2; LF does not care if no one reads his crap or watches his "show", that is the
10:24 Techrights-sec2; goal -- drive down the reputation of Linux and the LF in the public so that
10:24 Techrights-sec2; not only does no one care for it any more there is at least minor antipathy
10:24 Techrights-sec2; so that they can then exploit schadenfreude as they continue to damage
10:24 Techrights-sec2; the brand. LT still holds the trademarks but they seem to have his balls in a
10:24 Techrights-sec2; vice or something
10:24 schestowitz-TR; LF 2007: let's stop war
10:24 schestowitz-TR; LF 2016: let's change the system from within
10:24 schestowitz-TR; LF 2022: war is not as bad as we thought

10:28 schestowitz-TR; I said 2016 for a reason
10:28 schestowitz-TR; 2007 (foundation)... they manipulate wikipedia to lie... and to say 2000
10:28 schestowitz-TR; 2022 is just present
10:28 schestowitz-TR; but rianne and I decided to speak out in Feb 2019
10:28 Techrights-sec2; ack
10:31 schestowitz-TR; a couple of months later, linux.com, which rianne liked (it was beginner friendly), was nuked by Zemlin and the kakis
10:31 schestowitz-TR; so were were not far off
10:31 schestowitz-TR; I think it was in the tram that we decided being "patient" with LF wasn't an option anymore
10:31 schestowitz-TR; I forget what they had done just before that
10:31 schestowitz-TR; but I think lots of Microsoft andf GitHub money was involved
10:31 Techrights-sec2; yes the site linux.com used to be really good for outreach and promotion
10:31 Techrights-sec2; the anti-FOSS strategies often rely on delays and misguided tolerance

10:35 schestowitz-TR; Only the IA/Wayback Machine can do justice to that site at this point
10:35 schestowitz-TR; I used to look up names of the still-living
10:35 schestowitz-TR; not Roblimo or Joe Barr
10:35 schestowitz-TR; but Gasperson and Lisa Hoover
10:35 schestowitz-TR; people who were paid well to produce good articles
10:35 schestowitz-TR; bbyfield is barely visible anymore
10:35 schestowitz-TR; soon to join: "Gardiner"
10:35 schestowitz-TR; tbh, youtube screws them very badly
10:35 schestowitz-TR; so they extend to lbry
10:35 schestowitz-TR; which then becomes odysee
10:35 schestowitz-TR; and then gives them not many views
10:35 schestowitz-TR; and then promotes "far in jar" videos in the front page
10:35 schestowitz-TR; which is why lunduke quit and deleted everything there
10:35 schestowitz-TR; even the article where he explained what went wrong with the site after he had shilled for it so hard
10:36 Techrights-sec2; again, the current purpose of that address appears to be to degrad the
10:36 Techrights-sec2; kernel and the GPL and to turn people negative towards Linux in general
10:36 Techrights-sec2; Joe Barr was great but there are still questions about his demise IMHO
10:36 Techrights-sec2; ZDNet had a lot of great journalist doing excellent work covering FOSS and
10:36 Techrights-sec2; GNU/Linux about 20 years ago.
10:38 schestowitz-TR; zdnet's "linux" page atm: 2 articles in past week, both of them yesterday
10:38 schestowitz-TR; sjvn boosting SBOM BS.
10:38 schestowitz-TR; which likely means it was an LF assignment 'article'
10:38 schestowitz-TR; LF has an event this week
10:38 schestowitz-TR; lots of crap coming out
10:38 schestowitz-TR; esp. the snyk thing
10:38 schestowitz-TR; LF learned to love the FUD
10:38 schestowitz-TR; and concern-troll the thing that's the first word in their name
10:38 schestowitz-TR; I cannot forgive them when they keep doing this
10:38 Techrights-sec2; nope
10:38 Techrights-sec2; they have to reform their behavior first
10:44 schestowitz-TR; that will never happen
10:44 schestowitz-TR; I thought about doing a video, but a lot of these particular aspects were covered before
10:44 schestowitz-TR; it's like they have a list of 10 ways to suck
10:44 schestowitz-TR; and each week they pick one and start or resume sucking again
10:44 schestowitz-TR; until Linux runs out of "juice"
10:44 schestowitz-TR; this week trhry managed to compel Torvalds to speak of rust as if, this is OK, I can learn to live with this
10:44 schestowitz-TR; he never wanted or asked for this
10:44 schestowitz-TR; he was lobbied for years
10:44 schestowitz-TR; usually from Microsoft-connected sites and Gulag played a big role too
10:44 schestowitz-TR; they shoehorn this as a "security" thing
10:44 schestowitz-TR; but colour me sceptical given their track recoprd and the size of the darn thing
10:44 schestowitz-TR; when I downloaded it to laptops in an effort to compile some gemini programs I was astounded that I was running out of disk space
10:44 schestowitz-TR; the kernel (linux, kernel.org) runs on some very miniature devices
10:44 schestowitz-TR; but maybe not for long
10:44 schestowitz-TR; it's becoming like running Microsoft Office 2050 Pro Plus Deluxe to just write a fucking letter to the local council
10:44 schestowitz-TR; the bloat manifests itself in bugs, complexity of deployment, development etc.
10:45 schestowitz-TR; so some companies will explore something else, e.g. for pi pico
10:45 schestowitz-TR; and this worries me
10:45 schestowitz-TR; the oither kernels are less freedom-centric, bloat aside
10:45 schestowitz-TR; and LF ALREDY pushes utter shite like zephyr
10:45 schestowitz-TR; and then jperlow writes a logjng long post about how LF is NOT about Linux anymore
10:45 schestowitz-TR; it seems to me like he left LF some time ago
10:45 schestowitz-TR; his name never shows up, even in the CMS meta
10:45 schestowitz-TR; they hire some new guy, who knows more about English grammar than anything technical
10:45 Techrights-sec2; ack
10:48 schestowitz-TR; like in epo, they also downgraded the necessary qualifications
10:48 schestowitz-TR; say what you will about jperlow, he was not stupid and he's very technical
10:48 schestowitz-TR; sooner or later dev houses that do embedded dev will need to study and use rust "chains" (bloat)
10:48 schestowitz-TR; or they could choose some other kernel and kick this github mothball to the curb
10:48 schestowitz-TR; at least like mozilla, LF will go into the subset with an extensive portfolio of fluff about people
10:48 schestowitz-TR; with a lot of skin colours and sometimes rainbows
10:48 schestowitz-TR; to linux, this serves no purpose, it is time-wasting and off-putting due to a divisive
10:48 schestowitz-TR; nature of those things (in the technical world people are not so passionately divided)
10:49 schestowitz-TR; /s/subset/sunset/
10:49 schestowitz-TR; brb
11:28 schestowitz-TR; today I saw a bsd blog from your list/blogroll that said this article is also in gemini
11:28 schestowitz-TR; I think prior to it only devault did this
11:28 schestowitz-TR; maybe solene also
11:28 schestowitz-TR; devault is going through a tough time, so he put aside some projects
11:28 schestowitz-TR; gemini is now 3+ years old
11:28 schestowitz-TR; we started in early 2021
11:28 schestowitz-TR; it's still growing so the effort has paid off
11:28 schestowitz-TR; risky and speculative
11:28 Techrights-sec2; yes it looks like there is growing awareness
11:28 Techrights-sec2; yes TR was in reasonably early
11:28 schestowitz-TR; but it was a good call
11:30 schestowitz-TR; strategic timing: when firefox (and its dependents die)
11:30 schestowitz-TR; people will look for alternatives
11:30 schestowitz-TR; we need to show them alternative protocols, not alternative browsers
11:30 schestowitz-TR; for most things pages are enough
11:30 schestowitz-TR; the rest is cruft
11:30 schestowitz-TR; today I think that, unless epo has major news, I will improve the capsule
11:32 Techrights-sec2; ack
11:37 Techrights-sec2; firefox will have its next crisis soon; iirc the current google infusion
11:37 Techrights-sec2; expires in 2023
11:38 Techrights-sec2; yes, you told me several days ago
11:38 Techrights-sec2; but they probably prepare accordingly
11:38 Techrights-sec2; ahead of time
11:38 Techrights-sec2; trying to lower costs and negotiate price
11:38 schestowitz-TR; yes, you told me several days ago
11:38 schestowitz-TR; but they probably prepare accordingly
11:38 schestowitz-TR; ahead of time
11:38 schestowitz-TR; trying to lower costs and negotiate price

11:38 Techrights-sec2; they'll have some spin and maybe some more layoffs well in advance
11:38 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.theverge.com | Mozilla and Google renew Firefox search agreement - The Verge
11:39 schestowitz-TR; we are somewhat limited by lack of cgi support, but it's not a big deal
11:39 schestowitz-TR; I noticed some people get too creative with certificates and implement games
11:39 schestowitz-TR; that only work with rather advanced gemini clients
11:39 schestowitz-TR; I'm not sure it's something to be embraced tbh
11:40 Techrights-sec2; not so important
11:40 Techrights-sec2; however thunderbird getting cut out of GMail for all practical purposes
11:40 Techrights-sec2; has been bad
11:40 Techrights-sec2; i'd say the complexity is important to avoid
11:41 schestowitz-TR; email has been mostly besieged not by gmail et al (Microsoft is a lot smaller)
11:41 schestowitz-TR; but by social control media, the "private" messages there, and all those "messasing"
11:41 schestowitz-TR; "appe" for so-called "phones"
11:42 Techrights-sec2; via social control media; the instigators against it remain M$ and Alphabet
11:44 schestowitz-TR; mind you, curiously enough both ulag and msft tried to become big in social control media
11:44 schestowitz-TR; several times in fact
11:44 schestowitz-TR; microsoft spent funny money
11:44 schestowitz-TR; and still failed at it
11:44 schestowitz-TR; gulag created several of its own
11:44 schestowitz-TR; and found false pretences to mothball the things
11:44 schestowitz-TR; but gulaqg still have a massive social control network called gulagtube
11:44 schestowitz-TR; which it bought while it was at the toip
11:44 schestowitz-TR; rathere than created
11:44 schestowitz-TR; than ran at a loss like MSFT does with shithub
11:44 schestowitz-TR; I take no gratification in the bailouts received (gulag with maven)
11:45 schestowitz-TR; but in the observation that they cannot quite make money
11:45 schestowitz-TR; only pretend to
11:45 schestowitz-TR; so they are surfing the wallet (debt) of other people
11:47 schestowitz-TR; gulag does make a lot of money, but not all the pots are cash positive
11:47 schestowitz-TR; their "clown" BS is way behind and causing massive losses
11:47 schestowitz-TR; youtube is hard to get current numbers on
11:47 schestowitz-TR; just approximiations
11:47 schestowitz-TR; way to fake one's true reach and size
11:47 schestowitz-TR; use the cash surplus to buy things
11:47 schestowitz-TR; even if they don't make money, just increase headcount
11:47 schestowitz-TR; shareholders love to think everything will magically turn from trash to cash
11:50 Techrights-sec2; I still wonder about Youtube's profitability and it's real priorities
11:52 schestowitz-TR; untested theory: windows back doors for contracts (graft)
11:52 schestowitz-TR; youtube political censorhsip and social engineering for more like Maven
11:52 schestowitz-TR; which even a lot of gulag employees oppose
11:52 schestowitz-TR; maybe they thought their 6-figure salaries were paid by ads LOL
11:56 schestowitz; In "Bill Gates: An ISV that writes to COR is just f*cked" gemini://gemini.techrights.org/wiki/ the * causes a bug
11:56 Techrights-sec2; yes I would expect so: nothing works well on windows except the bugdoors
11:56 Techrights-sec2; and backdoors
11:56 Techrights-sec2; Google has more thorough activity tracking though
11:57 schestowitz-TR; Gulag's installedbase is a lot bigger, about twice as big as Windows owing to the spy in people's pocket that must stay on 24/7
11:57 schestowitz-TR; and has more and more sensors on it over time
11:58 Techrights-sec2; yes and on top of that there is all the web searching, gstatic, captchas, and
11:58 Techrights-sec2; gmail + various "services"
12:08 schestowitz-TR; re billg example, it is not the only one
12:08 schestowitz-TR; it's a special or edge case
12:08 schestowitz-TR; I think I might be able to create category pages, looking into feasibility
12:08 schestowitz-TR; it looks like category pages might simply replicate, poorly, what we already have in some dedicated wiki pages
12:08 schestowitz-TR; I want to make it easier to find/"dicover" old artcieles
12:08 schestowitz-TR; because we have so many
12:08 schestowitz-TR; doing search without cgi is possible
12:08 schestowitz-TR; in an awkward kind of way
12:08 schestowitz-TR; using a web requests which crafts a gemtext results page
12:08 schestowitz-TR; but that would expose other people's search history
12:17 Techrights-sec2; checking the gemini bug ...
12:17 Techrights-sec2; I would think that CGI would be best to avoid on Gemini
12:46 schestowitz-TR; I've improved our git page

19:49 schestowitz-TR; and vet high liklihood of brain pollution
19:49 schestowitz-TR; people write there stuff they cannoty write in articles
19:49 schestowitz-TR; because those things are false or baseless
19:49 schestowitz-TR; like the other day emptyweheel
19:49 schestowitz-TR; citing a tweet
19:50 schestowitz-TR; saying you can charge trump for trying to kill pence
19:50 schestowitz-TR; even pence would likely oppose such a charge
19:50 schestowitz-TR; but someone wrote some "teet"
19:50 schestowitz-TR; marcy wheeler turned that into 'article'
19:58 Techrights-sec2; ack
19:58 Techrights-sec2; low yield, as in actually no useful links at all. gave up after 20 minutwes
19:58 Techrights-sec2; and felt bad about wasting time with such drivel. It's harmful and dangerous
19:58 Techrights-sec2; that officials and agencies use "tweets" in place of official communications
19:58 Techrights-sec2; because that feeds the beast and lends it an unearned air of legitimacy
20:00 schestowitz-TR; not sure if you saw what I'm alluding to from marcy wheeler
20:00 schestowitz-TR; but it made me think a lot and roll my eyes
20:00 schestowitz-TR; either way, you'll notice in irc too I rarely cite anything "social media"
20:00 schestowitz-TR; it cost us a lot in terms of productivity
20:00 schestowitz-TR; if it wasn't for this nasty headache today, I'd be more productive
20:00 schestowitz-TR; IU slept it off just now
20:01 schestowitz-TR; we'll catch up soon
20:01 schestowitz-TR; some idiots ran a bot in irc and left it running amok
20:01 schestowitz-TR; I even banned the wrong user by accident
20:05 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> "This brings me to how Twitch in particular will or wont get by. Over the last year or so, it has become obvious that their corporate overlords at Amazon want Twitch to get serious about making a profit." gemini://pennywhether.xyz/articles/recession-twitch.gmi
20:05 schestowitz-TR; Remember how I told you on Friday they said we'd say something next week?
20:05 schestowitz-TR; it's end of Weds now
20:05 schestowitz-TR; not a work
20:05 schestowitz-TR; they're like 1.5 weeks beyond the promised time
20:07 schestowitz-TR; *now a word
20:07 schestowitz-TR; rianne and I thought about leaving months already
20:07 schestowitz-TR; before they even said anything to the whole teamn
20:07 schestowitz-TR; seeing that it had gone the wrong way for years
20:07 schestowitz-TR; but was getting yet worse this year
20:07 schestowitz-TR; but seeing the economy out there right now, job openings, inflation etc.
20:07 schestowitz-TR; we need to think carefully
20:08 Techrights-sec2; profit on top of mass maniuplation of public opinion
20:08 Techrights-sec2; yes there were a few items in the queue
20:08 Techrights-sec2; how is the naturalization paperwork progressing?
20:11 schestowitz-TR; we'll start around august
20:11 schestowitz-TR; having that job is extra help
20:11 schestowitz-TR; citizienship is also extra help
20:11 schestowitz-TR; but neither is essential
20:11 schestowitz-TR; given how low our expenses are, plus (for now) health insurance, which I assume they sometimes tie to a job,
20:11 schestowitz-TR; this causes no stress at all
20:11 Techrights-sec2; excellent
20:11 Techrights-sec2; ack
20:11 schestowitz-TR; having said that, there are moral issues associated with this job as it stands right now
20:11 schestowitz-TR; if I could choose, I'd say let her work and leave me off the hook or extra for holiday covers
20:12 schestowitz-TR; I reckon, if circumstances change, here or there (the company), I can ask for more hours again
20:12 schestowitz-TR; like a tap, or associate, or "gig economy", except better conditions
20:12 schestowitz-TR; I'm still off work till saturday
20:12 schestowitz-TR; need video and article idea
20:12 schestowitz-TR; if you hyave any
20:12 schestowitz-TR; I've just cloeaned my feeds
20:12 schestowitz-TR; Daily Links eta 5 mins
20:12 schestowitz-TR; headache gone compltely
20:12 schestowitz-TR; paracetamol did not help
20:12 schestowitz-TR; sleep did
20:14 Techrights-sec2; gig is a ripoff
20:14 Techrights-sec2; Saturday is Midsummer Day
20:14 Techrights-sec2; that's how it usually goes :/
20:14 Techrights-sec2; Can more be said about the upcoming EPO Staff action>
20:14 Techrights-sec2; ?
20:14 Techrights-sec2; Or about Debian and trademarks?
20:14 Techrights-sec2; ^ if public
20:16 schestowitz-TR; oh, yes, not I can finally talk about the TM issue
20:16 schestowitz-TR; and I've not done a video about this case in a whole
20:16 schestowitz-TR; I said I would
20:16 schestowitz-TR; though I said I'd do one when the cases is finished
20:16 schestowitz-TR; they must be spending a ton of money on that
20:16 schestowitz-TR; and it looks like it's going nowhere
20:16 schestowitz-TR; see the very latest in his PERSONAL site
20:16 schestowitz-TR; with torvalds photo op
20:16 Techrights-sec2; :\
20:16 Techrights-sec2; wasted money, time, and rep
20:16 Techrights-sec2; ack
20:16 Techrights-sec2; the SFI is new (to me)
20:17 schestowitz-TR; it's a clever legal hack/.trick
20:18 schestowitz-TR; it really pisses off those who try to gag him
20:18 schestowitz-TR; as it's not a person but an org
20:19 Techrights-sec2; "Director of Debianism"
20:19 Techrights-sec2; yes if he set up the org / corporation correctly it will be more powerful
20:19 Techrights-sec2; than they are
20:24 Techrights-sec2; the CoCs are certainly not about diversity of thought and even more against
20:24 Techrights-sec2; skill, experience, and talent
20:27 schestowitz-TR; the submission looks like "preview" or template
20:27 schestowitz-TR; as if only quotes some bits
20:27 schestowitz-TR; I know a lot more but am admittedly afraid of the sys admin's wrath
20:27 schestowitz-TR; so had to juggle just two items at a time
20:27 schestowitz-TR; doing this 'under the radar' is possible
20:27 schestowitz-TR; to an extent
