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

11:02 Techrights-sec; groping dancing fat monkey

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


noon, April 25

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

12:59 schestowitz; Shame on Gulag (Google Inc.)... even my old howtos (like OpenCV) now have ads on them (need to "skip ad" to start my videos that are just Free software howtos). 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

13:59 schestowitz-TR; I think it can be federated, but maybe I confuse that with another video sharing piece of software


2 PM, April 25

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.

14:55 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 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##########
