06:57 schestowitz-TR; I am so baffled. The HDMI-connected screens are such a mystery sometimes; I had to reboot one machine after
06:57 schestowitz-TR; 31 days. It's not my main machine. I cannot even EXPLAIN the PATTERN of when, how, why the screen (external)
06:57 schestowitz-TR; would come on or not come on... shuffled around many displays.
06:57 schestowitz-TR; Riddle me this... those DRM-friendly digital ports do NOT work the same way as the old ones... and as far
06:57 schestowitz-TR; as I can tell they are very complex. ame for sound output. It's very "touch and go"...
06:57 Techrights-sec; Is the cable DRM-ed, too, then if so that would mean that it has a small
06:57 Techrights-sec; computer or maybe microcontroller in it which can be badly programmed
06:57 Techrights-sec; and lock up periodically
06:58 schestowitz-TR; This is the thing, it seems to have a "state" to it... like it can get "confused"
06:58 Techrights-sec; Can that state be reset by unplugging both ends of the cable?
06:59 schestowitz-TR; I don't know, but I am GUESSING the specs are proprietary
06:59 schestowitz-TR; "open" only if you join some consortium
06:59 schestowitz-TR; I think BT and Wi-Fi are like that
06:59 schestowitz-TR; maybe for NDAs etc
06:59 Techrights-sec; openwashing as per usual in that industry
07:01 schestowitz-TR; Either way, I am back to the same arrangement I had before, but I wasted more than 30 minutes getting there
07:01 schestowitz-TR; Now I try to OVER-compensate
07:01 schestowitz-TR; e.g. by finding some other perceived "improvements"
07:01 schestowitz-TR; I reckon 1 hour a week, on average, improving one's workflow is worth it if it is 1% of one's
07:01 schestowitz-TR; weekly "computer time"
07:03 Techrights-sec; How new is that monitor?
07:03 Techrights-sec;
07:03 Techrights-sec; Do either that monitor or the cable have HDCP style DRM?
07:03 Techrights-sec; Hmm. Then there should be no DRM in those.
07:03 Techrights-sec; HDCP -> Pluton -> TPM -> Restricted boot -> UEFI
07:03 schestowitz-TR; These monitors are all quite old
07:03 schestowitz-TR; Maybe except the one a friend gave me, might be from 2019 and VERY heavy
07:04 Techrights-sec; These monitors are all quite old
07:04 Techrights-sec; Maybe except the one a friend gave me, might be from 2019 and VERY heavy
07:04 Techrights-sec; HDCP -> Pluton -> TPM -> Restricted boot -> UEFI
07:04 Techrights-sec; Once the chain is forged to completion for "frivilous" data such as audio and
07:04 Techrights-sec; video then real file formats used for real work will get dragged into
07:04 Techrights-sec; it and fettered.
07:06 Techrights-sec; yes HDMI does sound too; though the speakers are usually terrible quality on
07:06 Techrights-sec; the monitors
07:06 Techrights-sec; It is certainly confusing th efirst time it occurs
07:06 schestowitz-TR; You do of course know about USBx and HDMI with audio
07:06 schestowitz-TR; I was VERY confused weeks ago when my source came to the monitor without me connecting it
07:06 schestowitz-TR; as the monitors do have standard "jack" too
07:06 schestowitz-TR; but kde neon tried to pass my sound via HDMI, IIRC by default
07:06 schestowitz-TR; which caused a temporary WTF moment
07:12 schestowitz-TR; years ago you did very important work studying kernel .git files for work towards DRM
07:12 schestowitz-TR; I think that, by design, this is hard a subject and they don't want people to
07:12 schestowitz-TR; understand what's going on and then explain it
07:12 schestowitz-TR; a lot of this happens in the shadows and we do not have their presentation slides
07:12 schestowitz-TR; I forgot the name of the NZ researcher (Guttenberg?) who in the Vista days spoke
07:12 schestowitz-TR; out about what the DRM grand plan might be
07:12 schestowitz-TR; back around 16 years ago
07:12 Techrights-sec; part of keeping the dirtywork out of side involves keeping what's left
07:12 Techrights-sec; of the press weak and distracted with "tweets"

07:40 schestowitz-TR; on the www/net, history vanishes fast
07:40 schestowitz-TR; this benefits those who have the financial means to pick winners or losers
07:40 schestowitz-TR; like who or what can financiallyu/viably stay online
07:40 Techrights-sec; yes that is on purpose :(
07:46 Techrights-sec; I wonder if Cory has made his own archive of past talks and articles?
07:46 Techrights-sec; https://web.archive.org/web/20040627074939/http://www.dashes.com/anil/stuff/doctorow-drm-ms.html
07:46 Techrights-sec; DRM is about ideology not business or technology
07:46 Techrights-sec; Even the sites which stay online have purged their old articles several times
07:46 Techrights-sec; by now so that not only do old links not work but the actual articles no longer
07:46 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-web.archive.org | Cory Doctorow: Microsoft Research DRM talk
07:46 Techrights-sec; exist.
07:46 Techrights-sec; CMS changes can be compensated with Apache2's redirection engine so while
07:46 Techrights-sec; the articles can be at a new URL, the old URL should still be able to
07:46 Techrights-sec; redirect to the new address. It is a matter of will. The effort and cost
07:46 Techrights-sec; in setting that up is rather low.
07:46 schestowitz-TR; sometimes cms can change, sending the old articles into some abyss
07:46 schestowitz-TR; and links to these break
07:46 schestowitz-TR; wikipedia is getting filled with 404s and Web Archive URLs in the references
07:46 schestowitz-TR; you are talking like a geek, not like a manager
07:46 schestowitz-TR; managers do not care about history
07:46 schestowitz-TR; they like "fresh starts"
07:46 schestowitz-TR; and perception etc.
07:49 schestowitz-TR; managers do none of the technical work or authoring
07:49 schestowitz-TR; like elsevier and spinger
07:49 schestowitz-TR; so they do not value access to material
07:49 schestowitz-TR; just ways to 'monetise' alone
07:49 schestowitz-TR; that's an issue as publishers should never be detached from people who value the actual work
07:49 schestowitz-TR; code included, not just literature
07:49 Techrights-sec; they just plain don't value either knowledge or skill, thus the worshiping of
07:49 Techrights-sec; the ability to buff
07:51 schestowitz-TR; one of the most upsetting thing, for a coder, is having one's work thrown out of rejected by
07:51 schestowitz-TR; a manager who neither understands the work nor cares for the worker
07:51 schestowitz-TR; this is one sure way to get the talented staff to resign
07:51 schestowitz-TR; in our company, our ability to recruit peoople is not zero or negative
07:51 schestowitz-TR; unless we want seat fillers who cannot do anything at all
07:51 schestowitz-TR; we're a circus operation
07:52 Techrights-sec; yes removal of talent is a goal, the untalented know they are in over their
07:52 Techrights-sec; heads and then have 100% loyalty to the manager because they know they can
07:52 Techrights-sec; be fired for cause at any second and keep their paycheck only at the whim
07:52 Techrights-sec; of th emanager in question
07:54 schestowitz-TR; In our case, SarinGas(TM) did the most damage
07:54 schestowitz-TR; but not to worry, it's not like she cared
07:54 schestowitz-TR; and nw, IMHO, it's too late to undo the damage
07:54 schestowitz-TR; the remaining inertia is giving up on principles
07:54 schestowitz-TR; using PAST reputation and ride it for a few more years
07:54 schestowitz-TR; while taking slime as "clients"...
07:54 Techrights-sec; sounds like a terminal stage MBA infection
07:56 *teucer has quit (Quit: leaving)
07:56 schestowitz-TR; not even an MBA
07:56 schestowitz-TR; you are grosssly over-valuing [sic]
07:56 schestowitz-TR; The SartisGas
07:56 schestowitz-TR; *Sarin
07:57 schestowitz-TR; and TheLiar (R) is a bit of a laughing stock too
07:57 schestowitz-TR; not just for the lies but a lack of technical understanding
07:57 schestowitz-TR; mostly imposer, pretending
07:57 schestowitz-TR; I came for the show
07:57 schestowitz-TR; I stay for the popcorn (and easy salary; they cannot afford to lose us)
07:57 Techrights-sec; yes that MBA-type of thought, whether occuring in a certified MBA or just
07:57 Techrights-sec; a wannabee, worships bluffing and eschews either skill or knowledge seeing
07:57 Techrights-sec; either or both as a threat to their bluff
07:58 schestowitz-TR; she already one defunct institution behind here
07:58 schestowitz-TR; as secretary or something in Open Source Consortium (UK)
07:58 schestowitz-TR; (no, she never uses Open Source...)
07:59 Techrights-sec; "high pay easy work short hours close to home"
07:59 Techrights-sec; :(
08:02 schestowitz-TR; I am not sure what you are quoting and maybe some hypothetical quote rather
08:02 schestowitz-TR; than a real one, but that includes 4 points, which are applicable
08:02 schestowitz-TR; except "close to home"
08:02 schestowitz-TR; it is literally home and I do not even need to move between desks
08:02 schestowitz-TR; nor change my workflows
08:02 schestowitz-TR; I am on shift at the moment
08:02 schestowitz-TR; rianne has 2 computers upstaits helping with it, too
08:02 schestowitz-TR; give a person 12 years and the job finds a way to do itself
08:02 Techrights-sec; a paraphrase of a taiwanese saying about the ideal job
08:04 schestowitz-TR; Taiwan has very hard-working people
08:04 schestowitz-TR; but they imports labourers and outsource to mainland China for some parts
08:04 schestowitz-TR; Rianne lived in Taiwan for some months
08:04 schestowitz-TR; Unless her boyfriend died in a motor accident
08:04 schestowitz-TR; She even had a Twaiwanese name
08:04 schestowitz-TR; Taiwan is, to me, like a "lesser Japan"
08:04 schestowitz-TR; and work ethics might be similar too
08:04 schestowitz-TR; but they are not ethnically the same
08:09 schestowitz-TR; "If youre a 3D printer user youre probably familiar with that dreaded feeling of returning to your printer" https://hackaday.com/2022/04/25/machine-vision-helps-you-terminate-failing-3d-print-jobs/ | Source: Hackaday
08:09 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Machine Vision Helps You Terminate Failing 3D Print Jobs | Hackaday
08:09 schestowitz-TR; -TechrightsS
08:27 Techrights-sec; many point a camera at their printer and live stream to monitor progress
08:27 Techrights-sec; or disaster
08:29 schestowitz-TR; here is the thing
08:29 schestowitz-TR; I am one person
08:29 schestowitz-TR; one of many
08:29 schestowitz-TR; people have different needs
08:29 schestowitz-TR; but how would I ever justify the purchase price of such a device
08:29 schestowitz-TR; given how little of practical value I can print
08:29 schestowitz-TR; and how much time it would take to learn to do it, then get files, than actually do it
08:29 schestowitz-TR; then replenish supplies of material
08:29 schestowitz-TR; and possibly repair
08:29 schestowitz-TR; 3-d printing is good
08:30 schestowitz-TR; but it's more expensive than your own lawn mower
08:30 schestowitz-TR; and seem to be a niche foir creative types
08:30 schestowitz-TR; otherwise, in a society and economy og "fashionable consumption"
08:30 schestowitz-TR; it seems to have become another "hgome toy"
08:30 schestowitz-TR; one that you get, use for while, have a little fun with
08:30 schestowitz-TR; get bored of, and then just add to some inventory
08:37 schestowitz-TR; 10 AD: live, eat, sleep, fuck, die
08:37 schestowitz-TR; 2010: live, buy, do exams, polish resume, work, repeat 10 times (work, resume), consume carsx10,
08:37 schestowitz-TR; buy 3dprinting, buy second car, die
08:37 schestowitz-TR; (there is no "eat" "sleep" or "fuck"... not time for these things, and god forbid any cooking gets
08:37 schestowitz-TR; done, that's a "Waste of time...")
08:38 Techrights-sec; I see that the future of 3D printing is probably not so much individual
08:38 Techrights-sec; hobbyists but more that of professional shops with the occasional makerspace
08:38 Techrights-sec; both of which will have a team of skilled an experienced people on hand
08:38 Techrights-sec; to make sure that less of a mess is made. The big news IMHO is the
08:38 Techrights-sec; metal printing with sintering. However as mentioned before, who knows
08:38 Techrights-sec; what patents are holding the field back at the moment. The cool stuff
08:38 Techrights-sec; we see now is from the 1990s and only just now sloughing off the patent
08:38 Techrights-sec; restrictions which held back innovation.
08:41 schestowitz-TR; I think energy requirement for some of these are "industrial-grade"
08:41 schestowitz-TR; but I am not too sure
08:41 schestowitz-TR; either way, pushing into homes things that would economically be shared is the goal of wasteful,
08:41 schestowitz-TR; earth-shattering industries
08:41 schestowitz-TR; such as "home cinemas" to be used by, at most, 2 people
08:41 schestowitz-TR; but get used to brag to a guest who might come once a year
08:42 Techrights-sec; Some. Especially the metal.
08:42 Techrights-sec; I have been considering a laser cutter for a long time but that is off
08:42 Techrights-sec; the list now
08:42 Techrights-sec; Given the state of backdoors in the "smart" tvs, I would say it is faster, cheaper, morefunctional, and a lot safer
08:42 Techrights-sec; to run Kodi or something like that
08:42 Techrights-sec; attached to a nice monitor
08:46 schestowitz-TR; the purpose of very large displays is to enable many people to sit around staring at the same display
08:46 schestowitz-TR; this can be good in meetings with a table full of peopple
08:46 schestowitz-TR; the problem is that Wasteful Consumption Corp. made it seem like homes too needs these
08:52 Techrights-sec; Yes there are 72" or some bullshit for sale these days
08:52 Techrights-sec; I read that some "televisions" won't work until you've logged them in via GOogle
08:52 Techrights-sec; too
08:52 Techrights-sec; but haven't confirmed that yet
08:52 Techrights-sec; Most sales these days I would guess count as consumption and by that I mean
08:52 Techrights-sec; wasteful, unnecessary consumption.
08:52 Techrights-sec; Pohl explored that a bit once: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midas_World

08:52 schestowitz-TR; I don not mind OTHER people knocking THEMSELVES out
08:52 schestowitz-TR; but their lifestuyles contribute to environmental and economic issues for the rest of us, too
08:57 Techrights-sec; definitely
09:05 Techrights-sec; the worst is when the adverse effects can be considered "externalities" by
09:05 Techrights-sec; the perpetrators
09:05 Techrights-sec; I haven't looked at RSS yet today :(
09:05 Techrights-sec; There's still interesting stuff each time but it's a smaller and smaller
09:05 Techrights-sec; proportion of the total
09:06 schestowitz-TR; i may be away for an hour, could use some video and article ideas for later
09:06 schestowitz-TR; cleaned all the links except quiterss
09:06 schestowitz-TR; i took a shallow look
09:07 schestowitz-TR; it looked like howtos mostly
09:07 schestowitz-TR; and dreary
09:23 Techrights-sec; there is lots of shallow coverage of the Assange extradition, the large
09:23 Techrights-sec; number of articles is surprising but so is the complete lack of depth;
09:23 Techrights-sec; most don't even give a background of Wikileaks or especially "Collateral Murder"
09:23 Techrights-sec; a few still parrot lies about Sweden
09:26 schestowitz-TR; better to have good coverage in smallm quantities than lots of low-quality coverage (quantity)
09:26 schestowitz-TR; because it helps drown out the former
09:26 schestowitz-TR; the EPO issues many misleading pieces about "privacy" and "quality" in hopes of people not finding out
09:26 schestowitz-TR; what EPO examiners are saying
09:26 Techrights-sec; The Digital Services Act has gotten little to no ccoverage in the press
09:26 Techrights-sec; I'm sure the point of flooding the mews with shallow coverage is to
09:26 Techrights-sec; wipe it from the minds of the public
09:28 schestowitz-TR; I noticed the same. Cory Doctorow did a lot of rallying along with others a few years ago. EFF, this time,
09:28 schestowitz-TR; around, just did one blog post on DSA and that's it
09:28 schestowitz-TR; the post it did about Musk Social made me lol
09:28 schestowitz-TR; EFF: we also support "modern" crap. And MACS!
09:28 schestowitz-TR; Maybe they hope Musk will be their next Mark Cuban, a sugar daddy
09:28 schestowitz-TR; TechDirt also wrote some total trash, but then again it took Koch money and it seems to oppose
09:28 schestowitz-TR; regulation
09:29 Techrights-sec; It was right up the EFF's alley but they went out of their way to drop the
09:29 Techrights-sec; ball there.
09:31 schestowitz-TR; EFF is Mozilla sans corporate formalities
09:31 schestowitz-TR; Mozilla keeps spamming me via Email now
09:31 schestowitz-TR; I never got spam from Mozilla
09:31 schestowitz-TR; And it's BS lobbying about "HEY HI"
09:31 schestowitz-TR; Nothing to do with WWW tech
09:31 schestowitz-TR; Mozilla is a joke to me, but I still use some of the stuff they made for 20 years almost
09:34 schestowitz-TR; bbl

15:27 schestowitz-TR; this covers a lot of stuff we recently spoke about
15:27 schestowitz-TR; inc. my employer
15:27 schestowitz-TR; the video is very long but not repetitive
15:27 schestowitz-TR; I take advantage to explaint to staff some of the world elements of the syetem
15:27 schestowitz-TR; like James Gosling and co doing contests to see who sneaks in the dumbest patents
15:27 schestowitz-TR; I'm correcting the typos. well spotted. the video is long and may take more than an hour more to be ready.
15:36 Techrights-sec; ack
15:36 Techrights-sec; excellent
15:36 Techrights-sec; the lack of competition in coverage is both good and bad, I guess it can be
15:36 Techrights-sec; leveraged for good effect
15:36 schestowitz-TR; Our potential to infleucne affairds and direction at the EPO is huge
15:36 schestowitz-TR; hence it is a priority
15:36 schestowitz-TR; because we have direct contact with a lot of staff through the Web siute
15:36 schestowitz-TR; they don't even read their "own" site, epo.org
15:36 schestowitz-TR; and we don't have much "competition"
15:36 schestowitz-TR; some leaks show that higf-level management mentions us a lot
15:36 schestowitz-TR; scared of us
15:37 Techrights-sec; upper management needs to be out on their ear collectively
15:39 schestowitz-TR; yes, but by what /kind/ of process would that come about
15:39 schestowitz-TR; rarely do you heard about WHOLE management teams (high salary, no tax)
15:39 schestowitz-TR; just resigning entirely
15:39 schestowitz-TR; In EPO there are stakeholkders, not shareholders, and they
15:39 schestowitz-TR; bet on patent maximalis, so they won't force a hand
15:39 schestowitz-TR; Replacing Battistelli was just optics to them
15:39 schestowitz-TR; and then they gagged any critics of the "orange one"
15:40 Techrights-sec; well the rot, nepotism, and corruption has spread so widely and thoroughly at
15:40 Techrights-sec; that level than just bringing in a few new people will only result in the new
15:40 Techrights-sec; people quitting, getting ground down, or corrupted themselves. A house
15:40 Techrights-sec; cleaning is needed. Anythiung less is just rearranging the deck chairs.
15:42 schestowitz-TR; if it was a political party, it would collapse
15:42 schestowitz-TR; but it is now
15:42 schestowitz-TR; if it was a company
15:42 schestowitz-TR; it would fail
15:42 schestowitz-TR; but it is not a company
15:42 schestowitz-TR; it is a MONOPOLY
15:42 schestowitz-TR; a rather uninque scenario
15:42 schestowitz-TR; PLUS, diplomatic immunity
15:42 schestowitz-TR; short of the whole EU or the occupation collapsing, it's hard to envision a resolution
15:42 schestowitz-TR; or WHO would impose it on the EPOO
15:43 Techrights-sec; yes and as a monopoly it is more akin to a utility than a business
15:43 Techrights-sec; it would be a major disservice and wrongdoing to try to run it as a for-profit
15:44 schestowitz-TR; they like to pretend that the "competition" is other countries or continents
15:44 schestowitz-TR; but it is corporate global cartel
15:44 schestowitz-TR; with WIPO/WTO and others as a shallow umbrrella
15:44 schestowitz-TR; the shadow cast upon us people by the true masters, the corporationas dna oligarchs
15:45 Techrights-sec; that sounds more like malfeasance
15:45 Techrights-sec; they are ostensibly there to unifiy not churn
15:51 schestowitz-TR; it is a global problem
15:51 schestowitz-TR; but in EPO it's either a lot worse or a lot more visible
15:51 schestowitz-TR; owing to strong union culture in northern Europe
15:51 schestowitz-TR; (relative to the US; I don't have to tell you about USPTO patent quality
15:51 schestowitz-TR; and corporate shuffle in leadership
15:51 schestowitz-TR; kappos (ibm) -> lee (gulag, not bezoszon/aws) -> iancu (trolls) -> Microsoft Vidal
15:51 schestowitz-TR; remember: epo is not european
15:51 schestowitz-TR; it's INTERNATIONAL ORG
15:51 schestowitz-TR; so we are dealing with anINTERNATIONAL problem
15:51 schestowitz-TR; and through the EPO we expose corruption in connected orgs too
15:51 schestowitz-TR; inc. WIPO with Gurry (AU) and some shitty countries near Putin
15:51 schestowitz-TR; workers are smart and well-educated enough to 'feel' or to know
15:51 schestowitz-TR; they are not there for science but for businesses and for corporate
15:51 schestowitz-TR; lawyers
15:51 schestowitz-TR; they have access to millions of documents, inc. private stuff
15:51 schestowitz-TR; we just need to ensure there is a secure conduit for transparency
15:52 Techrights-sec; ack
15:52 Techrights-sec; no it is not and that is a confounding problem
15:52 Techrights-sec; it falls through the cracks and has so far escaped accountability
15:52 Techrights-sec; the currentr state of European higher education (or lack thereof) is a related
15:52 Techrights-sec; problem; and there is far worse to come but since the problm is in the pipe
15:52 Techrights-sec; it is ignored; the "univeristies" are decreasingly able to provide education
15:52 Techrights-sec; and failing that not even training, becoming just a charade which is the way
15:52 Techrights-sec; those large multinational interests like it
15:54 schestowitz-TR; i sometimes wonder if there are unniversity syllabi that now include "AWS"
15:54 schestowitz-TR; or similar
15:54 Techrights-sec; orobably; there are apparently trade schools which use M$ Azure from start to
15:54 Techrights-sec; finish in plce of actual Linux experience; Similar for AWS;
15:54 Techrights-sec; It might be one of the few areas where
15:54 Techrights-sec; Azure gets used at all even if it is the
15:54 Techrights-sec; tiny minority there too
15:56 schestowitz-TR; Maybe Azure has market share like Vista 11
15:56 schestowitz-TR; the surveys I see are based on a few people polled by some firm
15:56 schestowitz-TR; could be Microsoft astroturfers
15:56 schestowitz-TR; I see many AWS users at work
15:56 schestowitz-TR; some rackspace, linode, etc.
15:56 schestowitz-TR; azure is smaller than linode ^_^
15:56 schestowitz-TR; big... in the media.
15:59 schestowitz-TR; do not.
15:59 schestowitz-TR; do not!
16:00 schestowitz-TR; not trust trust numbers from companies
16:00 schestowitz-TR; all companies lie
16:00 schestowitz-TR; some lie more
16:00 schestowitz-TR; according to twitter my traffic/reach QUADRUPLED whilst MuskingTape was on the table discussing
16:00 schestowitz-TR; price
16:00 schestowitz-TR; number of "Active Users" can be "number of unique browser cookies detected by our back end this past
16:00 schestowitz-TR; month (31 days"
16:00 schestowitz-TR; they are "active" because they nevigated into a page
16:00 schestowitz-TR; and they are "unique" based on their browser fingerprint
16:00 schestowitz-TR; some use multiple browsers, let's make that count more
16:00 Techrights-sec; yes azure is smaller than linode's smaller competitor, it is just that I have
16:00 Techrights-sec; toalked with some "certified" students who have graduated with *NO* computer
16:00 Techrights-sec; experience
16:00 Techrights-sec; so they are trained to bluf and lie
