05:26 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays From Phoronix - Phoronix

05:27 schestowitz-TR; merry xmas

05:27 schestowitz-TR; had some extra sleep, now back on the saddle


6 AM, December 25

06:53 techrightssec2; merry xmas, it'll still be some hours before back in routine

06:54 schestowitz-TR; we'll go feed bird in a few hours

06:54 schestowitz-TR; *birds

06:54 schestowitz-TR; a flock of about 50 in that area

06:55 schestowitz-TR; at least nothing broke, we also set up a better and more ergomic workstation (for her)

06:55 schestowitz-TR; she was leaning forward too much

06:56 schestowitz-TR; i put that video in latest Daily Links and copied its title, in quotes...

06:56 schestowitz-TR; watched the first few minutes


7 AM, December 25

07:14 schestowitz-TR; i amm subscribed for some time now

07:14 schestowitz-TR; just added ebuzz central too

07:14 schestowitz-TR; see latest page in TM

07:14 schestowitz-TR; he's good

07:14 schestowitz-TR; and relatively ok s/n ratio

07:14 schestowitz-TR; robertson sounds like reddit BS amplified these days

07:14 schestowitz-TR; having run our of material like tiling WMs

08:19 schestowitz-TR; "Since Elon Musk is trying to ban any mention of Mastodon on Twitter, I thought I'd just make it as easy as possible to find me on the former. I'm at https://mastodon.social/@glynmoody I look forward to meeting lots of you there, where we can discuss the continuing and inevitable decline of Twitter under Musk." http://opendotdotdot.blogspot.com/2022/12/where-to-find-me-on-mastodon.html

09:27 schestowitz-TR; this was the ONLY blog post from glyn moody in 2022, at least this blog

09:27 schestowitz-TR; biab, feeding time

09:28 techrightssec2; Tragically, and inappropriately, many people of all ages mistake Reddit for

09:28 techrightssec2; a discussion forum.

09:28 techrightssec2; ack


11 AM, December 25

11:37 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell

11:45 schestowitz-TR; with 6 days left in the month, december in TM now has same # of hits as november

11:45 schestowitz-TR; let's hope tthis upward trend continues

11:45 schestowitz-TR; most sites only observed downward trend this past decade

11:45 schestowitz-TR; i hope people do revisit rss

11:45 schestowitz-TR; zonker (slashdot, novell, red hat, aws, not some db company) thinks rss is coming back

11:45 schestowitz-TR; as per his latets blog post

11:45 schestowitz-TR; rss is the logical path forward

11:45 schestowitz-TR; not activitypub


noon, December 25

12:20 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

12:28 techrightssec2; activitypub is overly complicated and I also wonder about scalability

12:30 schestowitz-TR; rss has its own scale issues, but you don't need real time update for rss

12:30 schestowitz-TR; sites and readers generally agree to not poll or serve more than about once per hour

12:30 schestowitz-TR; the "push notification" and real-time obsession (going "viral" within minutes) leads to distraction

12:30 schestowitz-TR; like having a mail client open and sending notification within a minute

12:30 schestowitz-TR; even when you are in the middle of doing something

12:30 techrightssec2; pull seems to work well, within limit, as you mention it's not for real-time

12:30 techrightssec2; notification, but that is fine

12:31 schestowitz-TR; you might be reading a book at a time

12:31 schestowitz-TR; anything that take attention away for even 5 secs is too mmuch

12:31 schestowitz-TR; more so if you write the text of somenthiong like an article and need to remember what all the previous sentences

12:31 schestowitz-TR; said

12:31 schestowitz-TR; and in what odrder

12:32 techrightssec2; RSS does not hook people for 'engagement' and supports a more asynchronous way

12:32 techrightssec2; of working or publishing


1 PM, December 25

13:01 techrightssec2; that is the point -- not opening either an "app" or a full page

13:02 schestowitz-TR; it can lower traffic

13:02 schestowitz-TR; people can get everything in the feed reader

13:02 schestowitz-TR; no need to open "app" or "page"

13:02 schestowitz-TR; more important to me: unified presentation

13:02 schestowitz-TR; no sidebar

13:03 schestowitz-TR; not much to be distracted by

13:03 schestowitz-TR; except maybe icons that symbolise the source

13:03 schestowitz-TR; it's even better in kate

13:03 techrightssec2; that is the point -- not opening either an "app" or a full page

13:03 schestowitz-TR; gemini weeds out the presentation inconsistency

13:03 schestowitz-TR; and sidebars etc not possible

13:03 schestowitz-TR; linear flow

13:11 schestowitz-TR; in kde 4 about a decade ago I had a world clock plasmoid, showing several time zones and globe that

13:11 schestowitz-TR; says where it's light or dark

13:11 schestowitz-TR; I don't check other time zones, but you might need to find the right "plasma" "widget"

13:11 schestowitz-TR; kde has many extensions for clocking/timing

13:13 schestowitz-TR; spamnil is buying fake "views" again

13:38 schestowitz-TR; Gemini also focuses on content, that is enhanced by its linear flow

13:38 techrightssec2; Gemini also focuses on content, that is enhanced by its linear flow
