03:59 schestowitz-TR; these started around 2019
04:51 schestowitz-TR; ok, done tm annual tasks, took a lot longer than usual
04:51 schestowitz-TR; as I forgot some things
04:51 schestowitz-TR; yesterday I asked rianne if she still remembers how we added stories to drupal

05:23 schestowitz-TR; today I went through a lot of old TM, realising that it still gets many views, esp. ceretain pages
05:23 schestowitz-TR; it does contain a ton of material from over the years, even where originals ceased to exist
05:23 schestowitz-TR; the new site I checked too, seems like about 60k requests per day, and that's just for stuff published
05:24 schestowitz-TR; since late summer
05:24 schestowitz-TR; rankings in SEs matter because few people bother with anything else
05:24 schestowitz-TR; partly due to UIs gravitating in that direction
05:24 schestowitz-TR; inc. GoogleFirefox, where Mozilla assume you search google when you enter some work somewhere
05:24 schestowitz-TR; more so android
05:24 schestowitz-TR; zonker said he was seeing a rebound for rss
05:24 schestowitz-TR; or foreseeing that due to twitter's collapse
05:24 schestowitz-TR; I'm not sure about that, but really, for producticity's sake, people need to change habits

06:43 techrightssec2; direct effects are obvious but the indirect effects are via the damage it does

06:47 schestowitz-TR; information overload can be worse than addiciton

10:00 techrightssec2; If it's not in his area of interest at all or he hasn't concluded that it is
10:00 techrightssec2; important then he is unlikely to remember it. Part of the problem is that
10:00 techrightssec2; it is very low key and might not even have packaged clients for the distro
10:00 techrightssec2; he is on.
10:00 techrightssec2; Perhaps he has dismissed it. He was certainly negative about the text-only
10:00 techrightssec2; aspect.
10:00 techrightssec2; Any comment on the static archive of the gallery?
10:00 schestowitz-TR; sorry, back from exercise and shower
10:00 schestowitz-TR; just emailed rms about gemini

10:05 schestowitz-TR; ----------------------
10:20 techrightssec2; What about the USB George Foreman Grill?
10:22 schestowitz-TR; i don't get the reference
10:22 schestowitz-TR; this is a lamp that changes colours and it built into himalayan salt
10:22 schestowitz-TR; we got a great price on it at a local shop with nepal connections
10:22 schestowitz-TR; but nothing suggests that this was the cause of issus

11:05 schestowitz-TR; i nearly linked to tomaz the msft shill
11:05 schestowitz-TR; it was in my draft
11:05 schestowitz-TR; but then you spottef it was azure shilling disguised as r and python
11:05 schestowitz-TR; gemini also has some microsoft shills in it, one notable person in poland
11:05 schestowitz-TR; sometimes you need to read deep to understand what they shill
11:05 schestowitz-TR; it's no the langs
11:05 schestowitz-TR; or sokme software
11:05 schestowitz-TR; but some proprietary microsoft crap
11:05 schestowitz-TR; like linuxhint covering git (windows, ms, github ASSUMED)
11:06 techrightssec2; ack
11:06 techrightssec2; Yes, they make an effort to hide these days, knowing how unpopulare m$ really is
11:06 techrightssec2; They've really been working to undermine both Python and R, especially the
11:06 techrightssec2; latter.
11:07 schestowitz-TR; they will get their way when people confuse the brands
11:07 schestowitz-TR; linux=wsl
11:07 schestowitz-TR; python=azure

11:07 schestowitz-TR; and cannot distinguish
11:07 schestowitz-TR; git is just github
11:07 schestowitz-TR; to the average person
11:08 techrightssec2; Confusion has been sown by having the R Foundation and the R Consortium, one
11:08 techrightssec2; of which is M$ and only about subverting R while the other is actually about
11:08 techrightssec2; advancing R
11:08 techrightssec2; Remember the "three guys in a garage" against ODF? Similar approach.
11:10 schestowitz-TR; marbux, gary and sam were not in fact against odf

11:17 schestowitz-TR; icbm spread some fud at some point
11:17 schestowitz-TR; causing confusion
11:17 schestowitz-TR; and doubt
11:17 schestowitz-TR; about gary and olivian his wife
11:17 schestowitz-TR; ad hominem
11:17 schestowitz-TR; they nearly got sued (marbux was going to)

11:18 schestowitz-TR; (freenode)
11:19 techrightssec2; OOXML does not really exist in practice and even paper it is severely
11:19 techrightssec2; underdocumented and substantially incomplete. Yet there will still be liars
11:19 techrightssec2; popping up from time to time asserting that M$ uses it, which it doesn't
11:19 techrightssec2; Yes, the backdoor deal by IBM was a really bad move. Also something happened
11:19 techrightssec2; with Apple as it decied to side with M$ against ODF, I presume that the
11:19 techrightssec2; stance against ODF was a contractual requirement for some aspect of DOCX support
11:19 techrightssec2; or similar.

11:19 techrightssec2; marbux sowed a lot of strife within the ODF groups, apparently intentionally
11:20 techrightssec2; so it looked at the time more like he was really out to impair ODF especially
11:20 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-hoaxes.org | Return of the Dodo (April Fool, 2002)
11:20 techrightssec2; with his blathing various M$ talking points continuously.
11:20 techrightssec2; s/blathing/blathering/
11:20 techrightssec2; His attacks generally targeted the most productive group members so I have to
11:20 techrightssec2; say that it really looks like he was against the success of ODF. Whether that
11:20 techrightssec2; was due to some ties to m$, I do not know. However, the damage he was doing was
11:20 techrightssec2; apparent to all.
11:20 schestowitz-TR; [11:20] <techrightssec2> was due to some ties to m$, I do not know. However, the damage he was doing wa
11:20 schestowitz-TR; did the conniving start after 2008?
11:21 schestowitz-TR; pj trusted marbux enough to put him in charge of News Picjs
11:21 schestowitz-TR; as a right-hand man of sorts
11:21 schestowitz-TR; so I used to mail him links every day
11:21 schestowitz-TR; did the conniving start after 2008?
11:23 techrightssec2; Interesting
11:23 techrightssec2; Probably, he was not bad at first but I can no longer remember the precise
11:23 techrightssec2; time line of events. There were also strange national network outages here
11:23 techrightssec2; and there in time with the ISO scandals. It was like someone was pulling the
11:23 techrightssec2; plug on net blocks where there was a high density of ODF material, such as
11:23 techrightssec2; Groklaw
11:25 schestowitz-TR; TR will publish articles about ISO next month
11:25 schestowitz-TR; It looks like "It's FOSS" has just been cracked and hijacked.
11:27 techrightssec2; Excellent. Unfortunately there were shocking scandals in each of the national
11:27 techrightssec2; standars bodies. Each country had a different kind of scandal, which sadly
11:27 techrightssec2; did not make national news anywhere. IIRC all the members of the Norwegian
11:27 techrightssec2; standards body quit in protest and the only result was getting replaced buy
11:27 techrightssec2; ^by
11:27 techrightssec2; shills and microsofters.
11:27 techrightssec2; checking
11:27 techrightssec2; Still seems ok
11:27 techrightssec2; Though the last article visible is from the 23rd.
11:28 schestowitz-TR; tehir rss feed was abused and links to some unrelated blogspam
11:28 schestowitz-TR; maybe they revert back to a backup
11:35 techrightssec2; I did not check the RSS, just the main page
11:36 schestowitz-TR; even if they got cracked and I can prove it, I'd rather not pick on them
11:36 schestowitz-TR; I did this to opensuse some eyars ago
11:36 schestowitz-TR; and it became a scandal for them
11:36 schestowitz-TR; which they then belittles
11:36 schestowitz-TR; *led
11:36 schestowitz-TR; spoke to me in irc even
11:36 techrightssec2; "when will he consider issues with operating systems that are not licensing issues?"
11:36 techrightssec2; Subverting the spirit of the license as has been done with systemd should
11:36 techrightssec2; still be covered by the FSF though it is years late to the game on that
11:36 techrightssec2; particular example.

12:00 schestowitz-TR; Questions at EmacsConf 2022 | Techrights
12:00 schestowitz-TR; [09:54] <schestowitz> The last question you were asked concerned Gemini.
12:00 schestowitz-TR; [09:54] <schestowitz> 12 months ago we suggested that FSF and GNU could adopt Gemini. You said you would consider
12:01 schestowitz-TR; it.
12:01 schestowitz-TR; [09:54] <schestowitz> In the Q&A you said you hadn't heard of it.
12:01 schestowitz-TR; [09:54] <schestowitz> Can I relay to you some information about it?
12:01 schestowitz-TR; [09:55] <schestowitz> Images are possible in Gemini, they're just not in the official spec.
12:01 techrightssec2; ack
12:04 schestowitz-TR; it's boxing day and I get overloaded with tasks already
12:04 schestowitz-TR; and drowned
12:04 schestowitz-TR; possibly part of that is the troublesome machine
12:04 schestowitz-TR; but anyway I caught up
12:04 schestowitz-TR; albeit massive overhead, working badkward to figure out what I forgot
12:04 schestowitz-TR; or what caused a negative emotional reaction (I think the Microsoft shills)
12:04 schestowitz-TR; anyway, I wrote down the tasks for the rest of the day
12:04 schestowitz-TR; I think I missed nothing, except time
12:04 schestowitz-TR; the bad PC "iza" is still a bit of an enigma
12:04 schestowitz-TR; we already confined its movement due to very sensitive PSU
12:04 schestowitz-TR; riane mistook me asking questions about what led to issue for me "blaming" her
12:04 schestowitz-TR; when in fact I try to study cause and effect, the correlation can teach us what not to do
12:04 techrightssec2; ack
12:07 schestowitz-TR; a couple of years ago I noticed that I get a similar reaction to
12:07 schestowitz-TR; a) forgetting what I wanted to do and
12:07 schestowitz-TR; b) abnoxious news or trolls, usually but not always microsoft
12:07 schestowitz-TR; the latter means there's nothing to be done, just move on
12:07 schestowitz-TR; but if you mistake a and b, then you might chasing in vain some "Forgotten task"
12:07 schestowitz-TR; when it fact it's a negative reaction

13:31 schestowitz-TR; that is infeasible and not really the solution

13:32 schestowitz-TR; and all those GAFAM operatives
13:32 schestowitz-TR; but life has financial strains, inc. legal bullying
13:32 schestowitz-TR; some people run away
13:32 techrightssec2; Nothing happpens without productive developers though.
13:36 schestowitz-TR; let's consider how linux is developed in 2022
13:36 schestowitz-TR; mailing lists (kernel.org)
13:36 schestowitz-TR; bugzilla
13:36 schestowitz-TR; many companies wanting to stick their patches before -rc1
13:36 schestowitz-TR; and Linus sort of deiciding
13:36 schestowitz-TR; except when Google et al decide for him, e.g rust
13:36 schestowitz-TR; after 4 years of lobbying through polymorphic front grou
13:37 schestowitz-TR; the go-to reasoning being "secuity"
13:37 schestowitz-TR; which is possible to debunk
13:37 schestowitz-TR; good devs write mem-safe code
13:37 schestowitz-TR; rust itself is a security and maintainance yoke
13:37 schestowitz-TR; etc etc
13:37 schestowitz-TR; then you have the salaries and infra
13:37 schestowitz-TR; LF is mostly ms github
13:37 schestowitz-TR; torvalds loist dight og what rms spoke about
13:37 schestowitz-TR; he likes gplv2
13:37 schestowitz-TR; he should reread the motivations for gplv2
13:37 schestowitz-TR; or v3
13:37 schestowitz-TR; he lost control of his work already
13:37 schestowitz-TR; fwiw, rms too shoulod reread it. microsoft systemd is bypassing or undermining gpl
13:37 schestowitz-TR; but unlike tivoisation, here the fsf does nothing
13:37 schestowitz-TR; while bagging money from the company that co-founded systemd, along with anotrher (intel)
13:37 schestowitz-TR; and then rewards crazy matt for helping exactly the agenda fsf had warned about for 2 years
13:37 techrightssec2; Yes, the FSF has been worringly quiet on the systemd-style attacks.
13:39 schestowitz-TR; i will say something strange:
13:39 schestowitz-TR; I think deeper inside fsf is shy to admit it missed something
13:39 schestowitz-TR; or was wrong
13:39 schestowitz-TR; esp. with large programs
13:39 schestowitz-TR; and frequent release cycles
13:39 schestowitz-TR; those too are threats
13:39 schestowitz-TR; figosdev wrote some new sthreats down
13:39 schestowitz-TR; fsf does not want to deviate from the original script
13:39 schestowitz-TR; or introduce gplv4 to deal with new issues
13:39 schestowitz-TR; gplv3 was already painful enough as some rejected the "patch"
13:39 schestowitz-TR; and that led to a split/rift
13:39 techrightssec2; Maybe but Athe longer they wait to correct the omission the worse those kinds
13:39 techrightssec2; of attacks spread.
13:39 techrightssec2; GPLv4 will be difficult. Eben has retired without a successor.
13:39 techrightssec2; GPLv3 was rejected, IMO, because few understand patents and even fewer sw patents
13:41 schestowitz-TR; maybe you and/or I should research those systemd software patents
13:41 schestowitz-TR; LP is now in Microsot
13:41 schestowitz-TR; and ICBM is also a swpats bully and lobbyist
13:41 schestowitz-TR; so it is relevant again
13:41 schestowitz-TR; I forgot the patent numbers
13:41 schestowitz-TR; but they do exist
13:41 schestowitz-TR; and maybe we can start debating systemd in the context of legal threats
13:41 schestowitz-TR; like we did mono
13:46 techrightssec2; It's probably less of a legal threat than more of a work-around preventing
13:46 techrightssec2; the freedom to examine or change the code because even trying to do so requires
13:46 techrightssec2; and inordinant amount of time, effort, and skill. Even if one ignores that
13:46 techrightssec2; last point, skill, and takes it for granted, systemd code is not even remotely
13:46 techrightssec2; accessible unless such a large amount of time and effort are expended as to
13:46 techrightssec2; effectively put it out of reach for anyone who hasn't been hired to work on the
13:46 techrightssec2; base
13:46 schestowitz-TR; and gets msft account at shithub
13:47 techrightssec2; There were analyses a while back going on about how few comments were in the
13:47 techrightssec2; code base and how few of those that were there were actually relevant
13:47 schestowitz-TR; MinceR: ^
13:51 techrightssec2; Might do Andy and Glyn a favor and include the ISBNs for their two works in
13:51 techrightssec2; the post. That will make it that much easier for people to get ahold of the
13:51 techrightssec2; books.
13:52 schestowitz-TR; funny that you mention it
13:52 schestowitz-TR; i was thinking almost the same at the same time
13:52 schestowitz-TR; 2-5 mins ago I thought about giving a url for the book
13:52 schestowitz-TR; but then pictures bezos face
13:52 schestowitz-TR; changed mind
13:52 schestowitz-TR; can you get the books' isbn
13:52 schestowitz-TR; I thought about adding cover pictures, but it would do no favour to the original from oliva
13:53 schestowitz-TR; I only fixed two typos in there
13:53 techrightssec2; Amazon can be avoided for both
13:53 techrightssec2; Double check but I think they are :
13:53 techrightssec2; "Walled Culture: How Big Content Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Keep Creators Poor." Glyn
13:53 techrightssec2; Moody. (2022) BTF Press. ISBN 9789464594959
13:53 techrightssec2; "Digital Vegan" Andy Farnell. (2021) Applied Scientific Press, London, England. ISBN 9780956088611
13:58 schestowitz-TR; added
13:58 schestowitz-TR; tested to ensure isbn leads to the correct books
13:58 schestowitz-TR; cheers
13:59 schestowitz-TR; the upcoming series is being chopped down to parts now
13:59 schestowitz-TR; like a big cow
13:59 schestowitz-TR; after finishing tm anual tasks I feel so much more relieved
13:59 schestowitz-TR; I used to have even worse annual tasks, lasting like half a day
13:59 schestowitz-TR; but some were automated
13:59 schestowitz-TR; now I can envision how I can split the chores till jan 5th
13:59 schestowitz-TR; seeing a paralegal later this week
14:00 techrightssec2; np
14:00 techrightssec2; good
14:00 techrightssec2; I think the gallery is now properly archived but am not sure. Could you please
14:00 techrightssec2; put checking it on the list of things to do there? You and Rianne are much more
14:00 techrightssec2; familiar with what is supposed to be there and how it should look. I would be
14:00 techrightssec2; guessing on both aspects.

14:01 schestowitz-TR; [05:18] <schestowitz-TR> I think old reviews of distros link to images this way

14:01 schestowitz-TR; [05:23] <schestowitz-TR> some other navigation links give 404, with the upside-down question marek
14:01 schestowitz-TR; [05:23] <schestowitz-TR> not moaning ;-) just trying to supply feedback
14:01 schestowitz-TR; [05:23] <schestowitz-TR> btw (ramble warning)
14:08 techrightssec2; Thanks!
14:08 techrightssec2; Which URLs have bad links? The questionmark is not allowed in path names for
14:08 techrightssec2; URLs since it denotes the end of the path + file name and the start of the
14:08 techrightssec2; query string. The inverted question mark seems like a fair substitute.
14:08 techrightssec2; But if there are broken links somewhere, those need to be identified by URL
14:09 schestowitz-TR; there are two factors (maybe more)
14:09 schestowitz-TR; a) how gallery links to itself (inwards)
14:09 schestowitz-TR; b) how search engines link to images and pages + how susan's reviews link to or hotlink those images
14:09 schestowitz-TR; ideally _all_ links should remain in tact
14:09 schestowitz-TR; so as to also avoid penalties from SEs and "lost" material previously indexes (many "news"
14:09 schestowitz-TR; sites doomed themselves cause f****ing suits don't know what changing a CMS actually begets)
14:10 techrightssec2; The links remain intact, the question mark removal is non negotiable with
14:10 techrightssec2; Apache2 and Nginx and other standards-compliant web servers.
14:10 techrightssec2; What can be done is have the Apache2 rewrite engine rewrite + redirect the
14:10 techrightssec2; old URLs at the old address to the new site.
14:10 techrightssec2; But the question remains, are there any dead links *within* the gallery on
14:10 techrightssec2; the new site?
14:15 schestowitz-TR; when I last checked, yes. several examples above.

15:45 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.fosslife.org | New Features in Rust
15:45 schestowitz; "
15:45 schestowitz; Now that the latest LTS version of the Linux kernel (version 6.1) includes initial support for Rust, interest in the programming language just keeps growing.
15:45 schestowitz; And, the language keeps evolving, too. The unique approach of the Rust programming language results in better code with fewer compromises than C, C++, Go, and the other languages you probably use. It also gets updated regularly, often every month, says InfoWorld.
15:45 schestowitz; In this article, Paul Krill and Serdar Yegulalp look at whats new in the most recent versions. For example, Rust 1.66 includes:
15:45 schestowitz; A newly stabilized black_box function
15:45 schestowitz; Use of cargo remove for removing dependencies
15:45 schestowitz; Improved runtime performance and memory usage
15:45 schestowitz; "
15:48 schestowitz-TR; SBOM = Suckewr for Bill Or Melinda
15:48 schestowitz-TR; Zemlin PAC
15:48 schestowitz-TR; Zemlin hailed billg as security visionary 2 months ago
15:48 schestowitz-TR; how does billg find the time. prof bill isn't tooo busy developing vaccines in a lab?
15:48 techrightssec2; ack
15:48 techrightssec2; SBOM is about creating further barriers to non-M$ software and basically anything modular.
15:50 schestowitz-TR; just look who pushed (and sponsored) this INTO the LF
15:50 schestowitz-TR; zemlin is not in charge
15:50 schestowitz-TR; his wife is not in charge of him either, unlike what he claims
15:50 schestowitz-TR; she is controlled by companies like microsoft
15:50 schestowitz-TR; and hence him and LF
15:50 schestowitz-TR; it's all about money
15:50 schestowitz-TR; just money
15:50 schestowitz-TR; always money
15:50 schestowitz-TR; they never turn down money
15:50 schestowitz-TR; and money is always right
15:55 techrightssec2; They try to make it as complex as possible to have any modular components.
15:55 techrightssec2; ie. FOSS
15:57 schestowitz-TR; industry seems to eventually gravitate towards putting frauds and liars in charge
15:57 schestowitz-TR; because in the short run lying (e.g.to shareholders and/or clients) "pays off"
15:57 schestowitz-TR; honesty does not
15:57 schestowitz-TR; hard work does not
15:57 schestowitz-TR; but exploiting hard-working people is another matter
15:57 schestowitz-TR; breinging people in conditionally from a very poor country is a strong motuivator
15:57 schestowitz-TR; irrespective of skils
15:57 schestowitz-TR; i just added to tm a story on docker and containers
15:57 schestowitz-TR; software used to be core and meta packages conbined
15:57 schestowitz-TR; the latter as services and groups of apis, stattically linked
15:57 schestowitz-TR; now they push container-style stuff
15:57 schestowitz-TR; like "android" and "apps"
15:57 schestowitz-TR; appimage, snap, flatpak
15:57 schestowitz-TR; that makes security even worse in a lot of ways
15:57 techrightssec2; Or despite actual lack of skills.
15:57 techrightssec2; s/despite/because of/

16:43 schestowitz-TR; theguardian 'forgot' to say that it is taking bribes from Bill Gates for over a decade already. Of course Gates profits a lot from those patents + graft. theguardian never criticises the Famous Criminal Gates, which is KNOWN -- not merely speculated -- to profit from this https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/nov/17/rishi-sunak-refuses-to-say-if-he-will-profit-from-moderna-covid-vaccine

16:45 schestowitz-TR; theguardian can protect its evil mobster and sponsor Bill Gates by merely deflecting or redirecting rage. That's one heck of a business model. It also keeps mocking Gates' critics. Same at BillBC, which of course pockets bribes from Gates too (no disclosures given).
