07:30 schestowitz-TR; Manchester will be a happy place today https://www.mancity.com/news/mens/manchester-city-parade-63788833
07:30 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.mancity.com | Manchester City to celebrate title win with open-top bus parade
07:31 schestowitz-TR; we expect to leave home around 5:30 (I'm off work for about 8 days!!)
07:31 schestowitz-TR; then send parcel (ebay sale), watch the parade (they typically give flags and stuff free), then carry back
07:32 schestowitz-TR; as much bargain as possible
07:34 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> "The really interesting thing to me is the effect that this has on content creators. This external reward structure in the forms of likes and comments hijacks a user's motivations for posting." gemini://skylarhill.me/posts/dance-monkey.gmi
07:34 schestowitz-TR; "In practice, however, creators end up making stuff they think will get "engagement" (yet another disgusting corporate term for "keeping people on the site as long as possible"). In some cases, this drive to make "engaging" content is monetarily reinforced through ad-share revenue" gemini://skylarhill.me/posts/dance-monkey.gmi
07:52 schestowitz-TR; all of today's gz backup files are OK (just checked), new very slow so far today
08:22 schestowitz-TR; the main channel had a lot of Russian politics in it
08:22 schestowitz-TR; but given the situation and the dissenter it is almost understandable
08:22 schestowitz-TR; I think some feel an obligation or duty to speak out
08:22 schestowitz-TR; also in emails I received
08:22 schestowitz-TR; they're feeling like 'NPCs'
08:22 schestowitz-TR; and so there's a sense of guilt
08:39 Techrights-sec; ack
11:14 schestowitz-TR; When it comes to chromebooks, sounds tends to be remotaly killed by Gulag updates if you
11:14 schestowitz-TR; are using cruoton
11:14 schestowitz-TR; if that boots right into Linux Mint or GalleumOS, then I don't see how Gulag can sabotage anything
11:19 schestowitz-TR; draft
11:23 Techrights-sec; ack
11:23 Techrights-sec; "Team UPC" could be clarified with a few extra words
11:23 Techrights-sec; i.e. which cabal is still (illegally) pushing for UPC
11:24 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I've expanded that
11:24 schestowitz-TR; I'm going to record another one now
11:24 schestowitz-TR; swpats video
11:24 schestowitz-TR; based on something I saw ehile shaving
11:24 schestowitz-TR; OTA
13:28 Techrights-sec; ack
13:28 Techrights-sec; s/granting/illegal granting of invalid/
13:28 Techrights-sec; or something similarly strong
13:28 Techrights-sec; "But welcome the bizarre world of diplomatic immunity." ... a few words
13:28 Techrights-sec; remininding the reader of the role of / scope of diplomatic immunity there
13:28 Techrights-sec; at the EPO
13:28 Techrights-sec; would help
13:28 Techrights-sec; s/how he got here (/how he got there, through /
13:29 schestowitz-TR; draft
13:29 schestowitz-TR; amdneded
13:29 schestowitz-TR; with bold
13:29 schestowitz-TR; the text should be clearer now
13:29 schestowitz-TR; you can see that the pattern is lowering support for him
13:29 schestowitz-TR; it's importannt at this time
13:50 Techrights-sec; checking
13:50 Techrights-sec; The parenthesis can be avoided by using workse like and/or/with/furthermore
13:50 Techrights-sec; and so on
13:50 Techrights-sec; ^parentheses

15:53 schestowitz-TR; pamnil appears to have put the clickfarms or clickbots on hold
15:53 schestowitz-TR; this is what we want
15:53 schestowitz-TR; like when we called out forbes
15:53 schestowitz-TR; they don't wish to deepen the scanal or attract attention
16:07 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> The Register gives a platform to Microsoft FUD. Jessica Lyons Hardcastle? Never heard/saw this name before. "Microsoft sounds the alarm on wait for it a Linux botnet" = Microsoft TROLLING and Googlebombing to distract from its OWN security blunders.
16:14 schestowitz-TR; I never even linked to any of these articles
16:14 schestowitz-TR; the news today is slow but not too much FUD so far
16:14 schestowitz-TR; re spamnil, he also stopped sabotaging linux.com or they removed his access to it
16:14 schestowitz-TR; first perlow, now some apple user
16:14 schestowitz-TR; LF is a clusterfuck
16:15 Techrights-sec; ack
16:15 Techrights-sec; hopefully the removed his access, but firing the editors and putting him on
16:15 Techrights-sec; there only ever looked like it was intended to destroy the public's interest
16:15 Techrights-sec; in the site so that they could later on shut it down without protest
16:25 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Microsoft and Bad Security Tux Machines http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/165172
16:25 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.tuxmachines.org | Microsoft and Bad Security | Tux Machines
16:25 Techrights-sec; LF could do a lot of good but with the magnitude and scope of the infiltration
16:25 Techrights-sec; at all levels, it only exists to mess witn Linux and wear down LT
16:26 schestowitz-TR; this, I think, is the most effective rebuttal to the "Micrsofot... says... Linux"
16:26 schestowitz-TR; Just need more material on the blunders, e.g. in Costa Rica
16:41 schestowitz-TR; advanced morning: will be afk in circa 30m
16:41 schestowitz-TR; food, sending parcel, watching the Man City parade, which should be fun
16:41 schestowitz-TR; you never know if it's the last time ever they win this
16:41 schestowitz-TR; or if the next time will be 20 years from now
16:41 schestowitz-TR; "you don't value it till you lose it"
16:41 schestowitz-TR; /s/morning/warning
16:45 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> "Meta tried to put a positive spin on its latest news about Facebook, but its still alarming. The widely-viewed content report was shared with a new way of calculating which links belong in the top positions, but it really shows that much of its most-read content on Facebook is spam." https://www.maketecheasier.com/facebook-algorithm-spam-top-20-links/

20:12 schestowitz-TR; it was getting overcrowded around the time the buses passed by
20:12 schestowitz-TR; very crowded
20:12 schestowitz-TR; did not foresee this
20:12 schestowitz-TR; we'll do a test soon
20:21 Techrights-sec; ack
20:21 Techrights-sec; SARS-CoV-2 or monkeypox?
20:21 schestowitz-TR; Mozilla MonkeyPox
20:27 Techrights-sec; Mozilla is its own type of pox nowadays, but the money trail leads back to
20:27 Techrights-sec; Google
20:27 schestowitz-TR; sdanitary conditions in gulags are notoriously bad
20:28 schestowitz-TR; you might even catch "bollyinsider"

20:49 Techrights-sec; interesting
20:49 Techrights-sec; It's been known for a long time that Ito was up to his ears in the mess
20:49 Techrights-sec; the only question is about in what way(s) was he involved
20:49 Techrights-sec; however the twitter link is more than a little dodgy
20:49 schestowitz-TR; Twitter IS dodgy
20:52 schestowitz-TR; 3dprinting will never be economic and efficient like mass production with pre-customisd machinary and assembly
20:52 schestowitz-TR; so it should be considered a hobby?
20:52 schestowitz-TR; fun? do it. education? great!
20:52 schestowitz-TR; when the fun is over and it's just a drag (time), you can push it aside, unlike kids
20:52 schestowitz-TR; some idiot kids in the parade today
20:52 schestowitz-TR; one of them dropped out shopping bag
20:52 schestowitz-TR; rianne was more angry than me
20:52 schestowitz-TR; but she seems to have no patience for them
20:54 schestowitz-TR; in an interview about a decade ago linus torvalds said that he had purchased a 3d printing for one of his kids
20:54 schestowitz-TR; cannot remember which one, but the one more into science
20:54 schestowitz-TR; then again, torvalds can aford to get money expensive toys and then throw them aside
20:56 Techrights-sec; ack
20:56 Techrights-sec; it's not appropriate for most people, it requires a lot of time to get through
20:56 Techrights-sec; learning all the adjustments needed to actually print an existing design
20:56 Techrights-sec; successfully. Very little is automated and much of that needs to be tuned
20:56 Techrights-sec; on a per printer+filament basis
20:56 Techrights-sec; there is even stuff like ambient temperature and humidity to worry about
20:56 schestowitz-TR; like plotters with cad (a friend's parents used both when wee were small kids)
20:56 schestowitz-TR; help with prototyping
20:56 schestowitz-TR; maybe this should really be a niche product for prototypers and/or artists
20:57 Techrights-sec; plotters are quite nice and not nearly as difficult
20:57 Techrights-sec; 3D is ok for some prototyping and many kinds of one-off items
20:57 Techrights-sec; However, the speeds is measured in hours and days not seconds
20:58 schestowitz-TR; covid-19 was exploited for marketing in the 3dprinting arena
20:58 schestowitz-TR; the life-saving slant
20:58 schestowitz-TR; not that there was no element of truth to it
21:08 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Thunderbird By The Numbers: Our 2021 Financial Report Tux Machines http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/165176 Jason Evangelho found a better place to write than Forbes; Forbes is hostile
