05:53 schestowitz-TR; Twitter now opens up to severe privacy abuses. If you carry on posting "tweets", Musk will expose to everyone how many people read those. There are several reasons why it's a privacy problem.
05:53 schestowitz-TR; I can now see numbers very low on some accounts
05:53 schestowitz-TR; like 5 times smaller than 5 years ago
05:53 schestowitz-TR; like gynmoody
05:53 schestowitz-TR; twiter is a waste of tiem
06:10 schestowitz-TR; for instance, a "tweet" from glynmoody gets only about 200 impressions
06:10 schestowitz-TR; impressiosn means just people scrolling past
06:10 schestowitz-TR; not even clicking anything
06:10 schestowitz-TR; that's worthless
06:10 schestowitz-TR; just one sentence or link
06:10 schestowitz-TR; Linux Journal, where he worked, has published nothing in MONTHS
06:10 schestowitz-TR; same owner as Slashdor
06:17 techrightssec2; Glyn's articles are better than ever *but* dreadfully difficult to locate any
06:17 techrightssec2; more these days. I'll check one of the feeds
06:17 techrightssec2; Slashdot's owner appears to have a goal of squelching coverage and discussion
06:17 techrightssec2; of FOSS and open standards
06:44 techrightssec2; and that may have been a main reason for the purchase
06:44 schestowitz-TR; crazy matt mia for a week
06:44 schestowitz-TR; irc, blog, muskdom
06:45 schestowitz-TR; good

10:19 techrightssec2; There is only a TechDirt feed for Glyn that I know of. I'd visit the sites
10:19 techrightssec2; where he writes but only when he writes for the most part so a bibliography
10:19 techrightssec2; of recent works or an independent feed would be great.

11:22 schestowitz-TR; price of essential stuff we buy does not seem to have increased
11:22 schestowitz-TR; if purchased in the right places
11:22 schestowitz-TR; came to this conclusion this morning
11:22 schestowitz-TR; now with gov. programme (energy) we even pay less for power than before
11:22 schestowitz-TR; not sure if you have noticed it, but epo scandals have expanded to become EU (inc EUIPO) scandals
11:22 schestowitz-TR; and now german gov. scandal at many levels
11:22 schestowitz-TR; there's also a massive scandal in .NL
11:22 schestowitz-TR; but need to choose how to expose it and where
11:22 schestowitz-TR; at any rate, everyone in thr world is affected by EPO
11:22 schestowitz-TR; unlike sirius, which is maybe a handful of people left
11:22 schestowitz-TR; soon more managers than techs LOL
11:22 schestowitz-TR; managers who PRETEND to be doing technical work
12:07 techrightssec2; ack
12:07 techrightssec2; Corruption, if not fought, spreads extensively. If unchecked, the EPO could
12:07 techrightssec2; bring down the whole EU.
12:07 techrightssec2; given time of course

13:22 schestowitz-TR; but actively participating in some
13:22 schestowitz-TR; which then begets hypocritical statements
13:22 schestowitz-TR; on human rights
13:22 schestowitz-TR; rule of law
13:22 schestowitz-TR; etc etc

13:37 techrightssec2; Another trick is that it is seldom that the "best" politicians get sent to the
13:37 techrightssec2; EU at least from the major parties. The small parties are another matter.
13:37 techrightssec2; But for some of them they go to the EU and work against their own country
13:37 techrightssec2; and without reporting on it and without the national news services reporting
13:37 techrightssec2; on it either. Then when the malicious plans are approved, they go back and
13:37 techrightssec2; pretend that they had nothing to do with the decision and that they are being
13:37 techrightssec2; "forced" into it by the EU despite having negotiated such crap through a process
13:37 techrightssec2; lasing many years.
13:37 techrightssec2; Or so it looks.
13:37 techrightssec2; There are some really good people there too but they are few. The current
13:37 techrightssec2; most visible positive example seems to be Breyer from PP representing Germany.
13:37 techrightssec2; There are some good people as well around him.
13:38 schestowitz-TR; media in de does not want to speak to him or quote him
13:38 schestowitz-TR; because he is not from a business-friendly party

15:37 schestowitz-TR; change of subject: many bloggers and coders feel like they're down for the count this year
15:37 schestowitz-TR; sam varghese is one of them, but he always comes and goes
15:37 schestowitz-TR; there is no "new generation" or 'fresh'/'young' blood
15:37 schestowitz-TR; some irc trolls and provocateurs moved on
15:37 schestowitz-TR; so s/n ratio is a tad better
15:37 schestowitz-TR; the current system has absolutely no strategy for raising kids right
15:37 schestowitz-TR; the gosl seems to be controlling them
15:37 schestowitz-TR; rather than developing or nurturing them
15:37 schestowitz-TR; cultivating a generation that sets out its own path
15:37 schestowitz-TR; (set aside how it's suffocated by debt and a lack of hope, a sense of powerlessness)
15:39 schestowitz-TR; give it take 5-10 years and tellers won't know how to count cash, change
15:39 schestowitz-TR; just swipe and "Smart" and other crap
15:39 schestowitz-TR; the clinics here wrongl;y assume everyone uses a spyphone
15:39 schestowitz-TR; and you need to correct them
15:39 schestowitz-TR; today I had to wait TWO MINUTES for one of them to find a pen and piece of paper
15:40 schestowitz-TR; (doing ok, just needed appointment in 4 weeks for a routine blood test)

15:50 techrightssec2; Right. There seems to be no new generations of anything. AFAIK there are no
15:50 techrightssec2; new people in CS or similar any more and it kind of feels like everyone in all
15:50 techrightssec2; the software projects are rather old or at least oldish.
15:54 schestowitz-TR; a childhood friend, computer enthusiast who struggled to find a job for decades,
15:55 schestowitz-TR; blasted his parents
15:55 schestowitz-TR; for boarding "the system" (capital)
15:55 schestowitz-TR; causing price hikes (e.g. estate)
15:55 schestowitz-TR; to the point my genereration is no "boomer"
15:55 schestowitz-TR; but aftermath
15:55 schestowitz-TR; and it gets worse for the gen below me (under 20s)
15:55 schestowitz-TR; they live under a blanket with something (still) called "phone"
15:55 schestowitz-TR; btw, rianne said 'our' team just won
15:55 schestowitz-TR; i intentinally avoid it
15:55 schestowitz-TR; not even watching it
15:55 schestowitz-TR; the boycott only works if you stick to it
