12:16 schestowitz-TR2; I will record re the topic you suggested
12:16 schestowitz-TR2; after Daily Links
12:16 schestowitz-TR2; spamnil no activity in 4 days
12:17 schestowitz-TR2; maybe they took some action
12:17 schestowitz-TR2; rianne's bday tomorrow
12:17 schestowitz-TR2; hard to think of safe-from-covid activities, except in open spaces or very empty tram
12:17 schestowitz-TR2; re the above article (uk state), I think he cherry-picks the worst of the worst
12:17 schestowitz-TR2; from conversations I've had, we're still nowhere as bad as elsewhere
12:17 schestowitz-TR2; it's a global thing
12:17 schestowitz-TR2; even finland and switzerland have those same issues
12:17 Techrights-sec; ack
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; there are many sayings about fooling oneself
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; I cannot think of just one
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; a dear old friend asked me yesterday re covid numbers
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; concerned that the media is not covering it
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; I then pointed to my blog
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; rememeber the media also pretended it was just some 'chinese problem' until early 2020
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; when deaths and admissions were starting to overencumber hospitals
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; and morgues
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; someone came to our irc channel floating BS trheories
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; but also said it was insane that airports had placed no restrictions st all
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; in retrospect, nz dealt with it well
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; being an island too
12:22 Techrights-sec; yes it was allowed to grow, kind of on purpose
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; I'd say conflating apathy with "on purpose" is active versus passive
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; it was passively accepted, to keep the "next immediate quarter" OK
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; that's how businesses operate
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; the travel industry does not care about piling of people 80+
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; in 'mass graves' or rather crematoriums
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; they're customers that won't be coming back for many years to come anyway
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; and maybe are not permitted to travel anyway (joint issues, wheel chairs)
12:27 mjg59_; NZ dealt with covid fine until this year and then utterly fucked it up
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; my mom is comign to that point (sore knees after long-distance travel)
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; to the point of limiting the travel
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; that najes walking very hard afterwards, got to respect that...
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; after many got shots
12:27 schestowitz-TR2; esp. the very vulnerable

12:39 schestowitz-TR2; so called "media" stopped reportsing on covid

15:27 schestowitz-TR2; I remember that article
15:27 schestowitz-TR2; these analogies might even help his detractors
15:27 schestowitz-TR2; what I looked for is likely a "teet"
15:27 schestowitz-TR2; sadly, Assange personally and Wikileaks as an org wastes too much time there
15:27 schestowitz-TR2; posting docs
15:27 schestowitz-TR2; and they're hard to find
15:27 schestowitz-TR2; they did not catalogue those in their web site
15:28 Techrights-sec; stuff "posted" in twitter is lost
15:28 Techrights-sec; context is already missing the minute it gets published and
15:28 Techrights-sec; there are no meaningful search capabilities
15:30 schestowitz-TR2; they would highlight bits in legal docs
15:30 schestowitz-TR2; or leaks
15:30 schestowitz-TR2; and then post only as tweet
15:30 schestowitz-TR2; pardon my typos
15:30 schestowitz-TR2; "teet" LOL
15:30 schestowitz-TR2; maybe a good joke, tii

15:30 schestowitz-TR2; by outsourcing everything to his sms experiment from the early 2000s
15:30 Techrights-sec; that was only them pretending to publish, twitter is too ephemeral for anything
15:30 Techrights-sec; at all
15:31 schestowitz-TR2; I kept telling them to use the site more
15:31 schestowitz-TR2; and rss feeds etc.
15:31 schestowitz-TR2; as twitter keps censoring them and locking their account
15:31 schestowitz-TR2; twitter was already controlling the audience
15:31 schestowitz-TR2; as the shim between the publisher and ther readers
15:31 schestowitz-TR2; can hide anytthing

15:46 Techrights-sec; thanks
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; random thought
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; wikileaks 2006-2009: many good publications, little impact
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; until baer bank, I think (elmer)
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; and then lawsuit/slapp
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; by 2010 they already knew they had to work and pre-plan with media partners (for greater impact)
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; after all that swedish stuff and more so the 2016 presidential race wikileaks made some enemies with so-called "liberal" media
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; so later publications were laregely ignored
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; like our Intel leaks and WPO material after the media got coopted

18:23 Techrights-sec; ack
18:23 Techrights-sec; what was baktt claiming to be?

18:26 schestowitz-TR2; anyway, all those cryptocranks are BS
18:26 schestowitz-TR2; inc. those who wear suits and went to Harvard
18:26 schestowitz-TR2; there must be thousands of those "crypto ios hard, let us manage it for you" exhcnages (*scams)
