05:05 Techrightssec; Is m$ hiding more layoffs though the noise about Activision?

05:05 schestowitz-TR; context? did something just "happen"?

05:05 schestowitz-TR; or, in this context, do you mean the months-old announcement?

05:05 schestowitz-TR; i was told no job openings there and they cut down the money spent on existing staff

05:05 schestowitz-TR; the layoff.com seems to be astroturfed a bit with "good news" about microsoft

05:05 schestowitz-TR; after people moaning about getting laid off

05:05 schestowitz-TR; the media did not count the contractors

05:08 Techrightssec; Yes, it's ongoing for the last few months.

05:08 Techrightssec; https://seekingalpha.com/article/4559103-activision-blizzard-may-be-a-buy-with-or-without-microsoft-deal

↺ https://seekingalpha.com/article/4559103-activision-blizzard-may-be-a-buy-with-or-without-microsoft-deal

05:08 Techrightssec; I wonder also if m$ is still losing money on each "Xbox", their DRM testbed.

05:08 Techrightssec; The articles talk about revenue but not profit.

05:08 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-seekingalpha.com | Activision Blizzard May Be A Buy, With Or Without Microsoft Deal (NASDAQ:ATVI) | Seeking Alpha

05:09 schestowitz-TR; seekingalpha is 101% microsoft propaganda

05:09 schestowitz-TR; since around 2005 when I started noticing

05:09 schestowitz-TR; but aside from that, microsoft is like twitter

05:09 schestowitz-TR; it pretends to be big

05:09 Techrightssec; Yes, their most positive

05:09 Techrightssec; propaganda site is not providing any substance so I suspect there is none:

05:09 Techrightssec; no profit

05:17 Techrightssec; Yes and it keeps re-earning its exceedingly negative reputation for

05:17 Techrightssec; both the shoddy quality of its tech, the bad design of its tech,

05:17 Techrightssec; and the illegal and unethical behavior in the market.

05:17 Techrightssec; There are other articles trying to blame the so-called obstacles on

05:17 Techrightssec; "negativity" rather than m$ historical and ongoing actions.

05:23 schestowitz-TR; quiterss seems to have become very io-intensive lately

05:23 schestowitz-TR; causing seconds-long lockups or freezes

05:23 schestowitz-TR; esp. when it openes or closes

05:23 schestowitz-TR; but I am not sure of the storage is the culprit

05:23 schestowitz-TR; or somethign else

05:23 schestowitz-TR; I've deleted about 180k fed items

05:23 schestowitz-TR; RAM usage remains very high, over 2 GB when open, sometimes a lot more

05:23 schestowitz-TR; but.. a lot of this started around the time I ran mumble-server on this machine

05:23 schestowitz-TR; so I wonder if that too can be the culprit

05:23 schestowitz-TR; system update has changed nothijgn since done half an hour sago

05:23 Techrightssec; :/

05:23 Techrightssec; One problem is that it has not been maintained. Another is that it does not

05:23 Techrightssec; handle such large data sets.

05:27 Techrightssec;

05:27 Techrightssec; QuiteRSS has a lot of problems. I've been looking for a replacement.

05:27 Techrightssec; If Sony does not renew such an unfavorable game console exclusive contracvt

05:27 Techrightssec; with m$, then that indicates possibly that the Xbox has been a liability for

05:27 Techrightssec; the "Call of Duty" series.

05:28 Techrightssec; QuiteRSS is written in C++

05:44 schestowitz-TR; curiously enough the storage device has given no errors in life a fortnight

05:44 schestowitz-TR; after all those system crashes

05:44 schestowitz-TR; but I'm sure it'll be back with a bang one day

05:44 schestowitz-TR; otr - 5 days of silence from $employer; they are probably a little nervous

05:44 schestowitz-TR; ort - the irrational behaviour is what happened weeks ago

05:46 Techrightssec; QuiteRSS is written in C++

05:46 Techrightssec; It usually locks up during anythiing other than a very short session.

05:46 Techrightssec; Some day, if there are developers for it.

10:33 schestowitz-TR; LinuxHint is dying; a ton of MICROSOFT SQL SERVER (proprietary) pieces today. Yes, spyware, which does not even properly run on LINUX (in the site's name!). And when they cover "Git" it's Windows (Microsoft, proprietary) and GitHub (Microsoft, proprietary). "LINUX" hint... hint hint... it's NOT about Linux anymore.

10:34 Techrightssec; Proprietar M$ SQL Server does not even run natively in GNU/Linux but instead

10:34 Techrightssec; inside the Drawbridge emulator

10:35 schestowitz-TR; yes, but notice the bit about promoting github instead of git and on Windows, not Linux

10:35 schestowitz-TR; that'd likely offend people who actually care about Linux and subscribed to the site

10:35 schestowitz-TR; it was NOT always like this!!!

10:36 *techrights_guest|62 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

10:43 schestowitz-TR; 'Linux'Hint published about 20 'articles' today. Only THIS one was ACTUALLY about Linux, and it's not that good https://linuxhint.com/sshd-config-file-complete-guide-for-linux/

10:43 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-linuxhint.com | The Sshd_Config File Complete Guide for Linux

10:44 Techrightssec; I wonder if any changes in staffing occured right before their loss of direction

10:56 Techrightssec; So, 5% relevance and significantly lower quality.

10:57 schestowitz-TR; worse:

10:57 schestowitz-TR; about 70% anti-linux agenda

10:57 schestowitz-TR; 25% anti-git

10:57 schestowitz-TR; 50% anti-FOSS

10:57 schestowitz-TR; ...

10:57 schestowitz-TR; all this for the chance of me finding some ssh manual that doesn't seem so good

10:57 schestowitz-TR; and goes under today's howtos

11 AM, November 23

11:00 schestowitz-TR; it's not just this site

11:00 schestowitz-TR; they take a site that has followers and 'googlejuice'

11:00 schestowitz-TR; then try top monetise it

11:00 schestowitz-TR; previously linux was put in the hands of affilate ad spammers

11:00 schestowitz-TR; in sites like fossmint they let anusha saive and what I ssuypect to be the spouse ravi

11:00 schestowitz-TR; they posted a ton of anti-foss

11:00 schestowitz-TR; then the site pretty much collapsed and its original authors are almost never to be seen again

11:00 schestowitz-TR; the 'monetisers' killed it

11:01 Techrightssec; Yep. The quote about killing Mac conferences is relevant yet again here.

11:02 schestowitz-TR; go to some site called fossforce ;-)

11:02 schestowitz-TR; bbyfieldforce

11:02 schestowitz-TR; a force against the founder of 'foss'

11:02 schestowitz-TR; like "wikileaks-forums" but about foss

11:02 schestowitz-TR; apropos wikileaks, I checked the above-mentioned articles

11:02 schestowitz-TR; the evidence is not flimsy

11:02 schestowitz-TR; their site is rotting

11:14 schestowitz-TR; in FOSS, boring... no announcement day befoire thankgiving

11:14 schestowitz-TR; I was hoping to do some videos, so topics would help

11:14 schestowitz-TR; still have not progressed much on the dissertation

11:14 schestowitz-TR; distracted by the 48-page document

11:14 schestowitz-TR; brainstorming in bookmarks

11:14 schestowitz-TR; we might stop following all fotoball by the way, qatar was the wak-up call

11:15 schestowitz-TR; they should rename EPL to "gulf war recruitment league"

11:15 schestowitz-TR; or fantasy footbOIL

11:16 Techrightssec; Basically

11:17 schestowitz-TR; this became more obscene this yeart

11:17 schestowitz-TR; MbS bought a team that was at the bottom of the table

11:18 schestowitz-TR; now it's in #3

11:18 schestowitz-TR; #1 and #2 = gulf states, huge spendings

11:18 schestowitz-TR; that gives ample political leverage

11:18 schestowitz-TR; follow our advice or we abandon the prestigious club

11:18 schestowitz-TR; there are billions at stake, not slush funds

11:22 Techrightssec; Yes though the motions were set in action with the FIFA bribery

11:22 Techrightssec; dance! dance for the oilman, chase the ball for him!

11:22 Techrightssec; More than that, the sportswashing buys lots of room to maneuver politicallky

11:22 Techrightssec; and takes a lot of pressure off by impairing the UN etc and their ability

11:22 Techrightssec; to work from public opinion.

11:37 schestowitz-TR; class war has been intensifying for decades

11:37 schestowitz-TR; even if the forms or manifestations changed a bit

11:37 schestowitz-TR; social control media was "herding" of public opinion

11:37 schestowitz-TR; in youtube you cannot say certain things without losing thousands of perfectly fine videos

11:37 schestowitz-TR; maybe he can even use the "v" word there

11:41 Techrightssec; As the class difference increase from the ongoing class war, more effort is

11:41 Techrightssec; put into the media (and especially into social control media) to ensure

11:41 Techrightssec; that the focus is turned instead to "racism" and to cultivate racism in society.

11:41 Techrightssec; Divide-and-Conquer

11:41 Techrightssec; That's also what a lot of the sports mentality is about and why so many billions

11:41 Techrightssec; are spent cultivating it: shout mindlessly in favor of an arbitrary logo and

11:41 Techrightssec; verbally and physically attack those bearing the other logos. That trains

13:47 Techrightssec; Yep.

13:47 Techrightssec; Just like m$. They think it's ok because they think they still control it and

13:47 Techrightssec; are the only ones granted backdoor (or bugdoor) access.

13:58 schestowitz-TR; with upc, .de gov. has gotten truly sinister

13:58 schestowitz-TR; and with its french allies, maybe dutch also

13:58 schestowitz-TR; but the upside it

13:58 schestowitz-TR; 1) with pandemic people realised that patents can be very evil and detrimental to health

13:58 schestowitz-TR; 2) with upc people see what a farce the patent microcosm reallyt is

13:58 schestowitz-TR; and (2) can be reinforced more along with (1)

13:58 schestowitz-TR; to the point where the way people speak about the issues changes over the years

13:58 schestowitz-TR; that has a lot to do with messed up distribution of wealth/capital

13:58 schestowitz-TR; after the manutd news (rianne saw that before me, or read about it this morning) it's likely

13:58 schestowitz-TR; when qatar is done I'll ignore football algother

13:58 schestowitz-TR; it's not just that money controls the culture here through sport

13:58 schestowitz-TR; it's money that comes from conflict

13:58 schestowitz-TR; they can kneel and wear rainbow armbands all they want

13:58 schestowitz-TR; the people who pay their salaries care for neither of those causes

13:58 schestowitz-TR; and some actively crush those

14:30 Techrightssec; It's less a skills shortage than an honest wage shortage. The big companies

14:30 Techrightssec; are neither willing to give decent working conditions nor livable remuneration

14:30 Techrightssec; for time, skill, and services. The money is instead lost as 'profit' and

14:48 Techrightssec; That reeks of microsoftianism not support.

14:49 schestowitz-TR; realising many important release are not announced in FOSS sites

14:49 schestowitz-TR; they neglect their own sites, like politicians do

14:49 schestowitz-TR; and instead expect people to use microsoft/nsa github to "track" releases

14:50 schestowitz-TR; this prevents linking to official announcments like decades back

14:50 schestowitz-TR; gitlab is also bad in this repsect, js only

15:09 Techrightssec; There seems to be yet another coordinated push to spam the world's sites with

15:09 Techrightssec; WSL and Azure crap this week. FSF ought to have a Thanksgiving campaign in the

15:09 Techrightssec; US this week, same for EFF, but that will not happen given the timid nature of

15:09 Techrightssec; the FSF and the semi-corrupt nature of the EFF nowadays.

15:11 schestowitz-TR; yes, wsl mostly

15:11 schestowitz-TR; first it was "1.0"

15:11 schestowitz-TR; spam as news

15:11 schestowitz-TR; another example noted in IRC moments ago

15:11 schestowitz-TR; sickening state of the www

15:12 schestowitz-TR; one headline that I saw an hour ago stated that WSL is not in the Microsoft Store... LIKE IT WAS NOT BEFORE!!!!!!

18:22 schestowitz; Interview request

18:22 schestowitz; Hi Roy,

18:22 schestowitz; I work on a story about the UPC and the technical judges it plans to use.

18:22 schestowitz; In your articles you mention talking to politicians about it. Do you have a suggestion who would be outspoken about it. If there is someone from Germany, that would be great.

18:22 schestowitz; Also, you mention a lobby behind the UPC. Could you be more specific?

18:22 schestowitz; Thanks so much,

18:22 schestowitz; ---------

18:22 schestowitz; This was sent via Microsoft (LinkedOut)

18:22 schestowitz; I don't intend to log in to that site
