10:21 Techrights-sec; Youtube has long been shortchanging creators and putting "Linux" in the title
10:21 Techrights-sec; is apperantly almost guaranteed to ensure that the video is demonetized
10:21 Techrights-sec; on the spot.

10:22 schestowitz-TR; I want someone to bair/experiment to prove this
10:23 schestowitz-TR; empirically
10:23 schestowitz-TR; like reverse-engineering the alg
10:24 Techrights-sec; the algorithm changes all the time and those that have partially figured
10:24 Techrights-sec; it out generally don't speak. Though Bryan Lunduke and, I think, DT complained
10:24 Techrights-sec; a lot about the "linux" string triggering demonetization
10:25 schestowitz-TR; rianne is using librewold and loves how (AFAIK) it blocks gulagtbe ads
10:25 schestowitz-TR; IIRC, it was already 2-3 years ago thgat some ads in youtube woiuld even become
10:25 schestowitz-TR; 10 minutes long
10:25 schestowitz-TR; as as it autoplays subsequent videos you don't know what you might be getting
10:28 Techrights-sec; checking the video ...
10:32 schestowitz-TR; you should watch this video, I still watch it
10:32 schestowitz-TR; he says a lot of what I've argued for a whole
10:32 schestowitz-TR; but I did not see it from the insiude as "creator"
10:32 schestowitz-TR; rather, as "user"
10:32 schestowitz-TR; spmanil has 1:1000 ratio for views/subs
10:32 schestowitz-TR; not "conversion rate"
10:32 schestowitz-TR; rather, imagine a channel with 1 million subs and 1000 views for new videos
10:32 schestowitz-TR; social control media friends/.followers/subs = fakecoins
10:32 schestowitz-TR; "social control media ..... looks at us like slaves.. circa 15:10"
10:32 schestowitz-TR; 2009-1015 it was getting better, he argues
10:32 schestowitz-TR; yes, makes sense to me
10:32 schestowitz-TR; like with twitter
10:32 schestowitz-TR; there's a cutoff where it was sabotaged
10:32 Techrights-sec; ack
10:57 schestowitz-TR; Regarding Wu,, I stopped watching after 4 or 5 minutes
10:57 schestowitz-TR; In the past I had an online altercation with her in Twitter
10:57 schestowitz-TR; but it was settled mostly amicably at the end
10:57 schestowitz-TR; I got in trouble for saying something rather obvious
10:57 schestowitz-TR; in Twitter this isn't permitted
10:57 schestowitz-TR; I stopped watching the video because her explanation is not clear
10:57 schestowitz-TR; and the later video, wqhich I pasted above, explains things
10:57 schestowitz-TR; much better as it concurs with what I've long suspected
10:57 schestowitz-TR; it's not so much about dress code, it is about
10:57 schestowitz-TR; YouTube trying to find a way to "cash in" (Netflix also did irrational things)3~
10:57 schestowitz-TR; Spotify is up and down with profits and losses
10:57 schestowitz-TR; After the Rogan incident I expect mostly losses
10:57 schestowitz-TR; maybe they too will pursue ways to "cash in"
10:57 schestowitz-TR; bot by bringing in rogue "casters" hoping that podcasts will be the milling cow
10:57 schestowitz-TR; and paying $100k for this gsmble. Sorry, 100M.
10:57 schestowitz-TR; Obamas are out out Spotify too, so this idea that "x is on it... let's follow x"
10:57 schestowitz-TR; won't fly
10:57 schestowitz-TR; and with some musicians boycotting spotify there's something else for others to research before
10:57 schestowitz-TR; putting "catalogues" on there
11:01 Techrights-sec; good
11:01 Techrights-sec; she did make an interesting video where she called out some shop about its
11:01 Techrights-sec; GPL compliance, I'm not sure the did a follow up to show the actual source code
11:01 Techrights-sec; though
11:01 Techrights-sec; Yes the Eli video does a better job. He is more articulate
11:01 Techrights-sec; As for Rogan, Spotify has been quiet about how well that has gone economically
11:01 Techrights-sec; and not even dropped hints about viewer base

11:01 Techrights-sec; Eli - "when the slaves want to feel like stakeholders" @ 14:55 or so
11:01 schestowitz-TR; when your product costs you money to operate and the more you operate it, the greater sum you lose,
11:01 schestowitz-TR; then sabotaging your own product is a "cost-saving" move
11:01 schestowitz-TR; I remember Ballmer joking about Gulag buying it for 6 billion (IIRC)
11:01 schestowitz-TR; of course the dancing fat monkey then made soapbox, which failed fasta dn spectacularly
11:01 schestowitz-TR; faster than codeplex
11:01 schestowitz-TR; turns out Google Code was also on the chopping block because, like GitHub, there's
11:01 schestowitz-TR; no money in it

11:05 *teucer_ is now known as teucer
11:05 schestowitz-TR; I was thinkiung this morning about those unstable people who spread words about RMS
11:05 schestowitz-TR; based on something from 2014, way before callimng him "hero"
11:05 schestowitz-TR; and then alleging he was buddies with epstein
11:05 schestowitz-TR; when it was in fact bill gates
11:05 schestowitz-TR; which again led me to thinking, how on earth can the lawyers eever justify those prison visits?
11:05 schestowitz-TR; isn't mr. "too busy saving the world" aware of what epstein did?
11:05 schestowitz-TR; People must bring it upo each time billg raears his ugly head again
11:05 Techrights-sec; the prison visits are suspicious to the point of incriminating
11:05 schestowitz-TR; what ballmer did is likely legal, but gross
11:05 schestowitz-TR; billg can be arrested
11:06 Techrights-sec; Yes and should be arrested
11:11 schestowitz-TR; the rms infowars interview is gone
11:11 schestowitz-TR; just like many US to US interviews of hedges
11:11 schestowitz-TR; nothing to do with Russia
11:11 schestowitz-TR; you possibly saw my remark already about why infowars rms interview is not worth preserving
11:11 schestowitz-TR; disinformation thrn inn as a side dish
11:11 schestowitz-TR; which is a common tactic of the "buffs"
11:11 schestowitz-TR; RMS was used as appetiser" or bait for them
11:11 schestowitz-TR; to rope in new viewer
11:11 schestowitz-TR; *vieweds
11:11 schestowitz-TR; with LBRY probably still under investigation
11:11 schestowitz-TR; I do not count on odysee to still be around in 5-10 years
11:11 schestowitz-TR; I think of it as an experiment
11:11 schestowitz-TR; it is like doinng mastodon "as a career"
11:11 schestowitz-TR; as "jopurnalism'
11:13 Techrights-sec; ack
11:13 Techrights-sec; I don't expect LBRY will be around either
11:13 Techrights-sec; more like an "attempt" than an experiement, I'm not sure many will learn much
11:13 Techrights-sec; if anything from it (on the business side)
11:16 schestowitz-TR; vimeo and gulagtube will soon enough "successful" cost-cutting
11:16 schestowitz-TR; fewer servers, less in losses (less of other things, but shareholders don't see THAT book...
11:16 schestowitz-TR; like Netflix and FB admitting loss of users... however they define "active"... I told
11:16 schestowitz-TR; you the other day what I think they calculklate and how)
11:16 schestowitz-TR; lbry when Ic hecked in 2020 MANDATED that I enter their "scheme" AND put some money in it
11:16 schestowitz-TR; i.e. become "active" user
11:16 schestowitz-TR; this can help prop up the scme
11:16 schestowitz-TR; with the reciprocisy being "free "(temporarily) hosting
11:16 schestowitz-TR; the videos may be decentralised
11:16 schestowitz-TR; the comment, cms etc. is not
11:16 schestowitz-TR; they just try to lower or offload costs to the viewers
11:16 schestowitz-TR; some ISPs already crush DHT packets
11:16 schestowitz-TR; they can do similar "p2p"-like things
11:16 Techrights-sec; LBRY is useless without an account, the account is needed to block the
11:16 Techrights-sec; truckloads of tripe and drivel
11:17 schestowitz-TR; like farts for sale (I did not even click)
11:19 schestowitz-TR; Musk Social: get extra traffic/views, buy MuskCoin today
11:19 schestowitz-TR; aside from manipulating things by trend, tweets etc.
11:19 schestowitz-TR; notably stock
11:19 schestowitz-TR; Twitter already shilled a lot and censored a lot for GSK, Pfizer, Moderna...
11:19 Techrights-sec; ack
11:19 Techrights-sec; yep that's one of the reasons
11:41 Techrights-sec; twitter has basicaly been about the same as the other social control medai:
11:41 Techrights-sec; mass manipulation of opinion; sometimes it is for political purposes,
11:41 Techrights-sec; sometimes it si for financial purposes, or more usually both
11:42 schestowitz-TR; if more people begin to say this
11:42 schestowitz-TR; diaspora will acceleratre
11:42 schestowitz-TR; literal diaspora
11:42 schestowitz-TR; diaspora(r) or fediverse = multple ahenda pushers
11:42 schestowitz-TR; like blogspot
11:42 schestowitz-TR; it is not blogging but sharecropping
11:42 schestowitz-TR; msn spaces was folded
11:42 schestowitz-TR; into wordpress com
11:42 schestowitz-TR; I was user #1 to 10
11:42 schestowitz-TR; and when I was in Germany my account was suspended
11:42 schestowitz-TR; baronkh/daemonfc already moaned about them shoving ads into his posts
11:42 schestowitz-TR; like youtube
11:42 schestowitz-TR; and he gets paid nothng
11:43 Techrights-sec; yep
11:43 Techrights-sec; a lot of people outsource to wordpress.com
11:43 Techrights-sec; yep that'll happen more and more. the temptatin is too high for the MBAs to
11:43 Techrights-sec; resist and they do manage to weasel their way in everywehre
11:50 schestowitz-TR; in the case of wordpress dot com it is worse than in youtube in the sense that
11:50 schestowitz-TR; the free stuff they give you is just a little cpu and maybe a little b/w
11:50 schestowitz-TR; with netflix and gulagtube the costs of b/w are a lot higher
11:50 schestowitz-TR; esp. as more people and companies do HD
11:50 schestowitz-TR; so the justification of the "trade" between space ands ads is rather unfasair
11:50 schestowitz-TR; now youtube bans people for trying to do ads within videos
11:50 schestowitz-TR; like linux laptop giveaway
11:50 schestowitz-TR; for being a competition basically
11:50 schestowitz-TR; factor I saw nobody int nhe media speaking about: the cost of b/w
11:50 schestowitz-TR; went up because retail energy costs are higher
11:50 schestowitz-TR; 100,000 servers and energy bill up 300 per annum = 30 million more in operating expenses
11:50 schestowitz-TR; not even counting routers and such
11:55 schestowitz-TR; in south korea they pursued netflix subcharges
11:55 schestowitz-TR; as internete subscribers did not pay "enough" for the infra
11:55 schestowitz-TR; while the "uber of DRM" netflix was clobbering away at the Net
11:55 schestowitz-TR; worse than IPTV, which clogged up our university networks almost 20 years ago
11:55 schestowitz-TR; to the point where they had to issue new rules
11:55 schestowitz-TR; (I worked for the uni'\s 'isp')...from 2001 until 2007)
11:56 Techrights-sec; routing is energy intensive
11:56 Techrights-sec; too many routers have wasteful x86 architectures
11:56 Techrights-sec; it's a difficult thing since surcharges like that are often an attempt at
11:56 Techrights-sec; doing away with net neutrality at the same time
11:59 schestowitz-TR; "well, he's dead"
11:59 schestowitz-TR; I'm going toi think of articles to do not
11:59 schestowitz-TR; not really allured by 500 unredad items under "patents"
11:59 schestowitz-TR; i cherry=ick from these from now on
12:01 Techrights-sec; I wonder if theree is a heuristic which can be used to sample the crap patent
12:01 Techrights-sec; articles
12:01 Techrights-sec; ack
12:02 schestowitz-TR; i know what you are going to say and I thought about that too, but it's a big project
12:02 schestowitz-TR; esp. as the problem domain is not generic
12:02 schestowitz-TR; that's like suggestinmg that patent examination can be done by "hey hi"
12:02 schestowitz-TR; and not a domain expert who actually graps what is read, knows other inventions, knows
12:02 schestowitz-TR; other patrents (not the same), and can figure out if it's trivial or BS
12:03 Techrights-sec; the examination cannot be done with AI or machine learning because too much
12:03 Techrights-sec; is abstract and requires actua deep domain expertise not just a vague
12:03 Techrights-sec; statistical constellation of strings
12:03 schestowitz-TR; the CSC or SUEPO already explored the subject
12:03 schestowitz-TR; one argument is that to bypass the "algos"
12:03 schestowitz-TR; one can alter the words a bit
12:03 schestowitz-TR; to confuse the algo
12:03 schestowitz-TR; it'll be like the "SEO of patent profession"
12:05 Techrights-sec; the examination cannot be done with AI or machine learning because too much
12:05 Techrights-sec; is abstract and requires actua deep domain expertise not just a vague
12:05 Techrights-sec; statistical constellation of strings
12:05 Techrights-sec; yes I reemphasize the essential nature of in-depth domain expertise in the
12:05 Techrights-sec; evaluation process; However, I would think that the articles would be more
12:05 Techrights-sec; of a sorting process and thus possibly acheivable via machine learning, but probably not and it would certainly have lots of rough ed
12:05 Techrights-sec; ges
12:07 schestowitz-TR; search for "cloest prior art"
12:07 schestowitz-TR; another "pilot" (bad programme, immersed in phases)
12:07 schestowitz-TR; like OOXML in USPTO (now with Microsoft Vidal in charge)
12:07 schestowitz-TR; gulag already guides examiners and you're meant to think string analysis will narrow things down
12:07 schestowitz-TR; to just one patent and that's all you need for examination
12:07 schestowitz-TR; but maybe that's what you get when 21 year olds with a science degree become "examiners"
12:08 Techrights-sec; I was just ranting (offline0 yesterday about the OOXML scandales from ages ago
12:08 Techrights-sec; the damage from that still goes on
12:08 Techrights-sec; that level of emplyee lacks the necessary experience and domain expertise to
12:08 Techrights-sec; beconsiderd a competent exaniner no matter how ambitious the individual might
12:08 Techrights-sec; be
12:09 schestowitz-TR; those are more obedient and better at rubberstamping to meet quotas and cement their new position in
12:09 schestowitz-TR; an org that has no certain future
12:09 schestowitz-TR; maybe trump can turn the 35 year olds into judges
12:09 schestowitz-TR; for upc
12:11 Techrights-sec; their presence help ensure that the future of that organization becomes unsure

12:42 schestowitz-TR; I am testing a theory of mine about gulagtube
12:42 schestowitz-TR; related to the second video I posted
12:42 schestowitz-TR; I think they deny access to or thottle "unsuccessful" videos
12:42 schestowitz-TR; because like Internet Archive
12:43 schestowitz-TR; they keep one set of videos not "off the cliff" yet
12:43 schestowitz-TR; sio they load faster and have copies in a datacentre near you
12:43 schestowitz-TR; and then there is some "vault" for stale videos
12:43 schestowitz-TR; like the ones that take ages for Wayback Machine to truen
12:43 schestowitz-TR; no cache, no proximity to data
12:43 schestowitz-TR; the second video says that they actively deny access to "too many" people
12:43 schestowitz-TR; (viral) if your channel is low profile
12:43 schestowitz-TR; I see no explanation for this counterintuitive policy unless it's tied to
12:43 schestowitz-TR; cost andf technical overhead
12:43 schestowitz-TR; (of course gulag won't admit this)
12:43 schestowitz-TR; because on a daily basis, any given day, I reckon only 1% of videos will be accessed at all
12:43 schestowitz-TR; the old ones are "archived"
12:43 schestowitz-TR; if gulag can lower that to 0.1%, that's a big costint saving through CDNs and other
12:43 schestowitz-TR; content distribution optimisations
12:43 schestowitz-TR; the trouble is, it means gulag actively DISCRIMINATES against the SMALL

12:54 Techrights-sec; yep

To make matters worse, that's after I was in effect "disqualified" for "monetisation" (like demonetised in bulk for not meeting new criteria (thresholds)), so they are doing carrot and schticcckkk, changing the terms as they fly along, profiting off my free work while shutting me out
13:46 schestowitz-TR; I've recorded a video covering some but not all of these points

13:57 schestowitz-TR; I recomended mediagoblin (still active, I checked commits and code) and peertube
13:57 schestowitz-TR; not odysee
13:57 schestowitz-TR; it's another bubble
13:58 Techrights-sec; ack
13:58 Techrights-sec; i've yet to find a way to "discover" material via mediagoblin
13:59 schestowitz-TR; I think it can be federated, but maybe I confuse that with another video sharing piece of software
14:00 schestowitz-TR; anyway, if you tap onto search and "discoverability"
14:00 schestowitz-TR; then you typically give one or more parties control on who "wins" and who ""loses"
14:00 schestowitz-TR; that's why for some things, as debated in irc in 2020, nothing like gulag should be pursued
14:00 schestowitz-TR; ipfs, gemini etc.

14:35 Techrights-sec; it should be noted that TR self-hosts and has done so for a long time
14:36 schestowitz-TR; yes, I should state that. I hope you saw no typos. My problem is, I don't use or even see many of these bad things, so I rely on others explaining them to me. I still never saw tiktok.

14:55 Techrights-sec; the shift on this keyboard is starting to become less than 100% reliable
14:55 Techrights-sec; anyway, I was starting to paste a good quote for the draft:
14:55 Techrights-sec; """
14:55 Techrights-sec; 12:01:00 TR News; DO NOT CREATE AN ACCOUNT
14:55 Techrights-sec; in Gulag or YouTube. Stop giving them any of your work.
14:55 Techrights-sec; Stop it. It's over. They're trying to "cash in" now, at
14:55 Techrights-sec; your expense. They're profiting off my free work while
14:56 Techrights-sec; shutting me out (they keep increasing thresholds). So
14:56 Techrights-sec; glad I stopped uploading videos there years ago.
14:56 Techrights-sec; """
14:56 Techrights-sec; tikitok is for china to do massmaniuplation of opinion against youth
14:56 Techrights-sec; that is particularly damaging because people mostly soak up the first
14:56 Techrights-sec; post they are exposted, whether rfact or fiction, as the truth and
14:56 Techrights-sec; resist any change thereafter regardless of evidence and facts
14:56 Techrights-sec; it's not unlike the tobacco companies aiming to get kids addicted
14:56 Techrights-sec; tiktiok therefore sucks even worse than youtube
14:56 schestowitz-TR; OK, I assume whatever was lost from the buffer is reinstated
14:56 schestowitz-TR; I don't want to reuse text from IRC too much
14:56 schestowitz-TR; I also try not to repeat in video what's in the text and vice versa
14:56 schestowitz-TR; because people don't need two of the same
15:03 *acer-box (~acer-box@freenode/user/schestowitz) has joined #boycottnovell
15:03 schestowitz-TR; as a side note, I don't do much coverage about gemini and instead just link a lot to gemini capsules
15:03 schestowitz-TR; I think sites or orgs getting caught up with just one thing
15:03 schestowitz-TR; leading to repetition
15:04 schestowitz-TR; makes them stale and boring
15:04 schestowitz-TR; I don't understand the video 'sharing' stuff like tiktok, but it seems to me like "wall of youtube"
15:04 schestowitz-TR; so some sort of hybrid with addictive elements like infitive scroll and instant animation
15:04 schestowitz-TR; becoming single-issue orgs is fine
15:04 schestowitz-TR; like rms speaking of the 4 freeddoms, then branching out to many othwerr things, inc. many he barely understands
15:04 schestowitz-TR; and never used
15:04 schestowitz-TR; it would be good if someone tested youtube for filter (to demonetise) on "Linux"
15:04 schestowitz-TR; DeVault complained that many in Gemnin spoke ogf Gemini itself instead of showing the protocol in action
15:04 schestowitz-TR; covering stuff not rlated to the subject matter being employed as the medium
15:04 schestowitz-TR; #######################################
15:04 schestowitz-TR; There was another thing I wanted to say but forget... it must not have matters much anyway...
15:04 schestowitz-TR; mattered
15:04 schestowitz-TR; in linuxhint they keep pushing some JS shite called boost5 iirc
15:04 schestowitz-TR; a literal toolkit of web junk
15:04 schestowitz-TR; I reckon they give you one meg of function
15:04 schestowitz-TR; for you to leverage to maybe make a little bouncing ball somewhere
15:04 schestowitz-TR; this takes up a lot of resources other than b/w
15:04 schestowitz-TR; infinite scrool would likely be another "framwwork
15:05 Techrights-sec; infinite scroll is a tool in the addiction toolkit
15:05 Techrights-sec; many seem to perceive a steaming pile of javascript as job security:

15:30 schestowitz-TR; [15:18] <techrights-news> Google now puts ads in videos of mine that are SHORTER than the ads! Guess who gets paid for these ads!
15:30 schestowitz-TR; i mention in the video that I saw ads that are like 15 mins long
15:30 schestowitz-TR; unless you press something
15:30 schestowitz-TR; that's just outrageous
15:37 Techrights-sec; even when presssing to eascape the ads you still have o wait at least 30 seconds
15:37 Techrights-sec; sometimes 2 x 30 seconds
15:37 Techrights-sec; that's prior to the video then there are several like that spliced in at
15:37 Techrights-sec; intervals
15:37 Techrights-sec; and then again at the end
15:37 Techrights-sec; to make matters worse, their search function is useless and it is almost
15:37 Techrights-sec; impossible to find known old videos by searching any more
15:38 schestowitz-TR; I wrtote about the search some time last year
15:38 schestowitz-TR; youget lots of stuff totally unrelated to what you search for
15:38 schestowitz-TR; they mix things for relevance and for "engagement"
15:38 schestowitz-TR; so what you think are search results
15:38 schestowitz-TR; are in fact not likely to contain the word/s yoiu searched for
15:38 schestowitz-TR; the only explanation for it is,
15:38 schestowitz-TR; Gulag wants engagment even if they wastes your time
15:40 Techrights-sec; had a process to ci
15:40 Techrights-sec; kill but hit the wrong window (again)
15:41 Techrights-sec; the MQTT-based chat seemed ok, should I try a python-based version of that in ######
15:41 Techrights-sec; the next month? THis method is as it is and won't improve
15:42 schestowitz-TR; I managed to read everything
15:42 schestowitz-TR; but not capture the text
15:42 schestowitz-TR; so it was not a waste of typing
15:43 schestowitz-TR; I read everything
15:43 schestowitz-TR; I don'r suppose there is a buffer somewhere in a file?
15:43 schestowitz-TR; for this?
15:43 Techrights-sec; no, not the way this program works at the moment, the easier option would
15:43 Techrights-sec; be to trap various signals to change the behavior when ctrl-C is encountered
15:45 schestowitz-TR; ok, no worries
15:45 schestowitz-TR; I did read carefully what was missed
15:45 schestowitz-TR; about KDE and GNOME, I cannot share this assessment
15:45 schestowitz-TR; they changed a lot
15:45 schestowitz-TR; but this aspect of the change I don't see or feel
15:53 Techrights-sec; I have seen it especially with the move to KDE4 and later
15:54 schestowitz-TR; fwiw, i've just rechecked the ytalk manual (did so years ago)
15:54 schestowitz-TR; still no releases in ages
15:54 schestowitz-TR; made by a swede
15:54 schestowitz-TR; in unix era
15:54 schestowitz-TR; and hardly updated
15:54 schestowitz-TR; no new features
15:54 schestowitz-TR; I suppose talk, which I used 20+ years ago, is the lesser of the two
15:56 Techrights-sec; yes. lesser
15:56 schestowitz-TR; OK, now I may have miussed something that was said
15:57 schestowitz-TR; no you suggested that in a comparison of ytalk and talk,the latter is lesser##########
15:57 schestowitz-TR; I agree
