02:50 schestowitz-pi2; today's daily bulletin was 9000+ lines long
02:50 schestowitz-pi2; without any videos and barely any images
02:50 schestowitz-pi2; but I've taken down the volume a bit from my end
02:50 schestowitz-pi2; and started preparing more to write
02:50 schestowitz-pi2; going to leave hom in 3 hours to buy dry foods etc.
02:50 schestowitz-pi2; the fish is still alive, but almost a week now refusing to eat and getting weaker as a result
02:50 schestowitz-pi2; the parasite may be gone, but she needs o start eating for any chance of recovery
02:50 schestowitz-pi2; it's a very small fish

10:19 schestowitz-pi2; bssf thousands of layoffs
10:19 schestowitz-pi2; intel pay cuts
10:19 schestowitz-pi2; some bit cut (20% for inlaw)
10:19 schestowitz-pi2; the compromises of work/life change
10:19 schestowitz-pi2; inflation, pay, conditions
10:19 schestowitz-pi2; no more home/WFH
10:19 schestowitz-pi2; this way they can get rid of workers without layoffs
10:19 schestowitz-pi2; people retire/resign
10:19 techrights[sec]; The details are important: which divisions are being cut and which
10:19 techrights[sec]; skills, or lack thereof, are being kicked to the curb?
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; software side 5% pay cut
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; the big pay cut is hardware/gate design
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; 20%
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; but maybe was overpaid
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; *basf
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; 2,000 iirc
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; tomshardware mentioned intel pay cuts
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; then changed the headline
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; as noted in irc today
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; to omit that part
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; i assume the editor got contacted
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; intelis smashed by tomshardware
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; and then comes a puff piece too
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; after they reported some products being canceled
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; i remember techrights irc getting micromoles trying to melittle azure layoffs
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; even if they quietly happen every year
10:22 schestowitz-pi2; and microsoft insists azure is the future
10:28 schestowitz-pi2; some people i know left at the optical time or the optimum being the time where the tradeoff between
10:28 schestowitz-pi2; pay grade and abuse received/tolerate isn't worth it. if the abuses increases and relative (to prices)
10:28 schestowitz-pi2; compensationgoes down, then the equation yields another outcome. glad i stayed in till i did.
10:28 schestowitz-pi2; -
10:34 techrights[sec]; Azure is a money pit for m$
10:35 techrights[sec]; Azure is a money pit for m$
10:35 techrights[sec]; Billions for bailing out failed business models, like Azure
10:35 techrights[sec]; or m$ in general.
10:36 schestowitz-pi2; ..
10:36 schestowitz-pi2; azure, microsoft, banks...
10:36 schestowitz-pi2; no lack of money if they have the "connections"
10:36 schestowitz-pi2; or buy connections (aka "lobbyists")
10:36 schestowitz-pi2; or bribe by proxy
10:41 schestowitz-pi2; <techrights-news> BASF to Cut 2,600 Jobs After a Year of High Energy Costs https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/24/world/europe/basf-layoffs-germany.html
10:41 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.nytimes.com | BASF to Cut 2,600 Jobs After a Year of High Energy Costs - The New York Times
10:42 schestowitz-pi2; second report i see about it
10:42 techrights[sec]; The got into the Biden campaign and via his win into the White House,
10:42 techrights[sec]; Now it looks like they spend more time in DC than in Redmond, lobbying, bribing
10:42 techrights[sec]; misleading, lying, etc.
10:43 schestowitz-pi2; war contracts in ukraine
10:43 schestowitz-pi2; 'saving' ukraine from the mess they themselves bred if not created and contribute to
10:43 schestowitz-pi2; inflaming, then putting out SOME flames
10:43 schestowitz-pi2; making sure some are left for later "work"
10:54 *psydroid2 has quit (connection closed)
10:56 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cbcfptirpkfqa.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
11:37 techrights[sec]; M$ created those problems, at least as far as the "cyber" part goes. Now
11:37 techrights[sec]; in return for having created a "cyber" disaster, they are being rewarded by
11:37 techrights[sec]; the outsourcing of critical UA government infrastructure into Axzure so that
11:37 techrights[sec]; "all" sides have equal access to it. It's not the way it should have been done.
11:37 techrights[sec]; M$ should have been punished not rewarded for abject failure.
14:17 *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
14:35 schestowitz-pi2; still trying to find the optimal way to handle the feeds, this may take some time
14:50 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cbcfptirpkfqa.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
14:52 schestowitz-pi2; of note: i installed some adblocking in firefox
14:52 schestowitz-pi2; unlike invidious, which i use for linking, it does show 2 ads prioe to videos, but
14:52 schestowitz-pi2; it suspends them from playinmg
14:52 schestowitz-pi2; this means that when opening a youtube url i need to wait about 25 secs before I can even
14:52 schestowitz-pi2; play the video I wish to watch
14:52 schestowitz-pi2; the ads show up only as images
14:52 schestowitz-pi2; maybe to full gulag into thinking i watched something and skipped
14:52 schestowitz-pi2; but 25 secs to load a vidseo is a long time
14:52 schestowitz-pi2; and that also assume you already installed some addons
14:52 schestowitz-pi2; addons that probably won't work like this months later
16:56 techrights[sec]; I'm finding the feed script rather efficient. It lacks a lot of functionality
16:56 techrights[sec]; but the work flow involves less repetition and little to no unscheduled
16:56 techrights[sec]; surfing. --keep works when loading in a new OPML file yet retains state info
16:56 techrights[sec]; for the existing feeds. Otherwise, running it with no parameters takes only
16:56 techrights[sec]; a few minutes to load close to 700 feeds.
16:56 techrights[sec]; Then it takes about 30 to 60 minutes to process them.
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; i might head to bed soon
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; manchester might be getting another trophy soon (football, final)
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; to explain what i do atm with feeds
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; I have a full skeletal expansion of most but not all feeds
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; some contain complex html, some only summaries
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; which isfine
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; in firefox i have a more complete overview, but i don't always wish to open bloated pages
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; one by one
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; how to arrange all this on the screen I'm not sure yet
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; the way i do it right now is rather poor
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; as i use virtual desktops, despite having 9 screens
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; one alternative approach might be, open firefox over ssh -X
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; or offload the file to another machine, then open from there
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; 5 screens are connected ok through barrier with full keyboar support
17:41 schestowitz-pi2; and clipboard too
17:42 techrights[sec]; 1) run script based on established states
17:42 techrights[sec]; 2) triage titles by middle clicking on potential articles
17:42 techrights[sec]; 3) go through the open tabs
17:43 schestowitz-pi2; with mouse buttons 4 and 5 i can more neatly deal with items I like, fewer clicks
17:43 schestowitz-pi2; and no tabs, but it's easier to open from within a browser if necessary
