06:44 schestowitz-TR; talking about the issue openly would make the event not a "Safe space"
06:44 schestowitz-TR; we're talking about this in the IRC channel this morning
06:44 schestowitz-TR; FSF has been sanitised out of any revolutionary element
06:44 schestowitz-TR; because of a sixth sense for corporate acceptance
06:45 schestowitz-TR; or acceptance of corporate shills like those who signed the petiion
06:45 schestowitz-TR; last night "The Linux Experiment" published a video entitled Microsoft isn't the enemy
06:45 schestowitz-TR; or something to that effect
06:45 schestowitz-TR; RMS is the enemy
06:45 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft is not
06:45 schestowitz-TR; -The Linux Experiment
06:46 Techrights-sec; CoCs are, as known, used to silence various topics unrelated to civil rights etc
06:46 Techrights-sec; What a tool, a dumbfuck.
06:46 Techrights-sec; How can a non-idiot become so detached from reality without being on the take?
06:46 Techrights-sec; Holy shit, it's right there in the title:
06:46 Techrights-sec; https://odysee.com/@TheLinuxExperiment:e/microsoft-isn't-the-enemy-of-linux-and:3
06:46 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-odysee.com | MICROSOFT isn't the ENEMY of Linux and FOSS anymore, but it's no friend either...
06:46 Techrights-sec; What a tool || fool he is.
06:47 schestowitz-TR; one step away from calling people who oppose Microsoft "enemies"
07:01 Techrights-sec; basically and he seems to soft-pedal the 1990s while glossing over the 1980s
07:01 Techrights-sec; He tries to spin the behaviors as past actions and not ongoing, continued
07:01 Techrights-sec; attacks against everyone and everything. At least he almost called them out
07:01 Techrights-sec; over OOXML but missed out a key point that *no one* not even m$ uses it.
07:01 Techrights-sec; And he bullshits on WSL, overstating its capabilities. The kernel
07:01 Techrights-sec; 'contributions' are mistaken for help rather than dumping crap m$-orient
07:01 Techrights-sec; code.
07:01 Techrights-sec; He observes, correctly, that m$ aims to control now via the "cloud"
07:01 Techrights-sec; He misses the core of the problem with GitHub
07:02 Techrights-sec; M$ Co-pilot, unlike his claim, is a copyright infringing service.
07:02 Techrights-sec; Definitely not his best video. He's off badly in each segment.
07:06 Techrights-sec; "secure-core"
07:06 Techrights-sec; the thicker part of the wedge, long after the thin edge
07:06 Techrights-sec; ^ topic
07:07 schestowitz-TR; draft
07:07 schestowitz-TR; does that refer to something in an article?
07:07 schestowitz-TR; secure core?
07:07 schestowitz-TR; back doors agencies like NSA misframe security"
07:07 schestowitz-TR; they hijack and change the words
07:07 schestowitz-TR; I could dop a video rebuttal to nick, maybe...
07:07 schestowitz-TR; unless playing him back (playback) does more harm than good
07:13 Techrights-sec; secure-core has hardly been covered at all; remember 20+ years ago when M$
07:13 Techrights-sec; tried to acquire Pheonix or AMI BIOS? I forget which. That was when theyu
07:13 Techrights-sec; laid out their strategy to *also* beging lock-in from the hardware on up.
07:13 Techrights-sec; Not just from the OS on down. I'm missing a few steps but secure-core appears
07:13 Techrights-sec; to be a certification programme where restricted boot is not just on by default
07:13 Techrights-sec; but on permanently in such a way as to prevent non-M$ systems from booting.
07:13 Techrights-sec; Anyway as for the draft, a reminder about the anti-RMS petition tied to the
07:13 Techrights-sec; unfounded smear campaign is needed. The campaign was based on baldfaced lies
07:13 Techrights-sec; which too many, out of apparent eagerness to lynch RMS or destroy FOSS,
07:13 Techrights-sec; did not examine.
07:13 Techrights-sec; Then a /proper/ rebuttal of nick's video is needed. The above draft was pushe
07:13 Techrights-sec; d out halfbaked. :/
07:13 Techrights-sec; The whole video does not necessarily have to be address, just pick apart
07:13 Techrights-sec; the recurring themes.
07:14 schestowitz-TR; i've already published that
07:14 schestowitz-TR; should I do a video later?
07:14 schestowitz-TR; i did not watch the video
07:14 schestowitz-TR; maybe better not to play it back at all and focus on the other topics (3) i have in drafts
07:14 schestowitz-TR; ok, i will move the irc notes to draft
07:14 schestowitz-TR; to respond to later
07:14 schestowitz-TR; i need to avoid irc today
07:14 schestowitz-TR; to get articles done
07:14 Techrights-sec; Thanks!
07:14 Techrights-sec; IRC is a time sink at best
07:16 schestowitz-TR; so i have 4 drafts, i will do a video for each, then work on text,
07:16 schestowitz-TR; maybe past midday
07:17 Techrights-sec; ack
07:41 Techrights-sec; revisit bandwidth and web page bloat
07:41 Techrights-sec; ^ topic
07:41 Techrights-sec; there are no small pages any more, nor much of any server-side activty,
07:41 Techrights-sec; despite some countries still requiring small pages as part of defence
07:41 Techrights-sec; readiness
07:41 Techrights-sec; That may be a key reason why m$ and its controlling interests have started
07:41 Techrights-sec; their nearly all-out campaign to disparage and eliminate SSH
07:41 Techrights-sec; Part of that can be subversion of the developent process, too
07:41 Techrights-sec; Afterall, m$ has been "helping" OpenSSH for a while ...
07:42 schestowitz-TR; If we get to the point of U-boat revisited, I think Techrights won't be the highest priority
07:42 schestowitz-TR; small pages can be sent over satellite
07:42 schestowitz-TR; unless they too get gunned down
07:42 schestowitz-TR; ssh access is low b/w
07:42 schestowitz-TR; but for visitors there are constrained
07:42 schestowitz-TR; ipfs is... becoming interesting
07:42 schestowitz-TR; the raison detre of the Internet
07:42 schestowitz-TR; during cold war
07:46 schestowitz-TR; --
07:46 schestowitz-TR; just finished shaving, but the battery of it is awful. it's a 1990s appliance with battery last replaced around 2009
07:46 schestowitz-TR; not much incentive to replace it anymore
07:46 schestowitz-TR; anyway, got 5 topics now
07:46 schestowitz-TR; will try to stick to plan
07:46 schestowitz-TR; lots of text and URLs I can reuse, so writing can be a very smooth process
07:46 schestowitz-TR; like I said, my workflow is all wrong
07:47 schestowitz-TR; due to priorities being impulsive
07:47 schestowitz-TR; momentum, not rationale
07:47 Techrights-sec; ack
08:35 schestowitz-TR; our longest (time) client is a company that helps track and prevent damage to undersea cables
08:35 schestowitz-TR; but that's not worthy of a mention
08:35 schestowitz-TR; I have 5 topics now
08:35 schestowitz-TR; probably too much
08:35 schestowitz-TR; as I have a load of rss feeds and links to catch up with first
08:36 Techrights-sec; probably not good to mention

11:35 schestowitz-TR; safe to say that no matter where one lives, it's hard to find good news
11:35 schestowitz-TR; and uncertainty is growing over a whole range of issues
11:35 schestowitz-TR; after all, it's one planet, same 'league'
11:35 schestowitz-TR; we hear of people we know losing everything, falling into depression, or sinking into both
11:35 Techrights-sec; ack
11:35 schestowitz-TR; a lot of good journalism now gets demoted
11:35 schestowitz-TR; as it is seen as a "luxury" topic and not as urgent as several more pressing issues
11:35 schestowitz-TR; which I think worsens accountability
11:40 Techrights-sec; I would also guess that the diminishing of journalism is closely tied to
11:40 Techrights-sec; the ongoing media consolidation which was allowed to start in the 1980s
11:40 Techrights-sec; There's now not even a handful of companies which own more or less all
11:40 Techrights-sec; media in the US, for example. May regions there do not have coverage from
11:40 Techrights-sec; more than one company and many more don't even have a source which actually
11:40 Techrights-sec; reports on local news.
11:41 schestowitz-TR; (just a casual observation)
11:41 schestowitz-TR; apathy to news, based on immediate priorities
11:41 Techrights-sec; Not just apathy but those news deserts which were mentioned the other day.
11:41 schestowitz-TR; no news is good news(tm)
11:44 Techrights-sec; :/
11:47 schestowitz-TR; at least you know what I meant
11:47 schestowitz-TR; important things compete with
11:47 schestowitz-TR; a) immediate fear (war)
11:47 schestowitz-TR; b) clickbait
11:47 schestowitz-TR; c) screen time monopolists
11:47 schestowitz-TR; i think in the long run the important stories will be worth it
11:47 schestowitz-TR; because a b and c mean that nobody else covers them
11:47 schestowitz-TR; I'm almost done with links, can start recording sooner than expected
11:47 schestowitz-TR; the gbp sank
11:47 schestowitz-TR; but I don't think it affects rianne and I much
11:47 schestowitz-TR; for a number of reasons
11:47 schestowitz-TR; i know people whom this hurts very badly
11:49 schestowitz-TR; ---
11:49 schestowitz-TR; there are two parallel things that guage progress
11:49 schestowitz-TR; one is written, docuemneted material
11:49 schestowitz-TR; antoher is immaterial knowledge and narrative
11:49 schestowitz-TR; that can be leveraged letter to explain issues
11:49 schestowitz-TR; one is about material output
11:50 schestowitz-TR; another is potential per se
11:50 schestowitz-TR; i think on a number of topics we have the ability to cover properly
11:50 schestowitz-TR; and explain certain issues well
11:50 schestowitz-TR; glyn moody is still barely visible
11:50 schestowitz-TR; i think doctorow was very busy with a book lately
11:50 schestowitz-TR; books are a waste of time
11:50 schestowitz-TR; young people perceive them as non grata
11:50 schestowitz-TR; availability is another problem and it'll worsen over time
11:52 Techrights-sec; I wish Glyn maintained a feed or a list or something so that it would be
11:52 Techrights-sec; easier (i.e. possible) to find his current work. He is easily one of the
11:52 Techrights-sec; top two or three remaining tech writers.
11:52 Techrights-sec; Young people not only /don't/ read many actually, in practice, /can't/ read.
11:53 schestowitz-TR; done feeds from kate

12:13 psydruid; my nieces read and even work in order to be able to buy books
12:13 psydruid; but it may be a cultural thing

12:14 schestowitz-TR; OTA shortly
12:14 schestowitz-TR; psydruid: books last long
12:14 schestowitz-TR; and if you liek the books, you can take them places
12:14 schestowitz-TR; or give to a friend
12:14 schestowitz-TR; not everything being "tech" is better
12:14 schestowitz-TR; books don't need backup and battery changes
12:15 psydruid; I have lots of books, mainly in boxes at the moment
12:16 psydruid; but I have the ones I am reading here
12:17 psydruid; tech books I mostly have in digital form these days because they are more ephemeral
12:18 schestowitz-TR; tech books lose value very fast
12:18 schestowitz-TR; because tech changes feast
12:18 schestowitz-TR; case of point: value of C++ book from 1995
12:18 schestowitz-TR; verrsus
12:18 schestowitz-TR; how to play guitar, 1995
12:21 psydruid; I only bought The C++ Programming Language Third Edition in 1998
12:21 schestowitz-TR; is it still worth a look?
12:21 psydruid; I have relatively few tech books
12:21 schestowitz-TR; online docs might be a lot more up to date
12:21 psydruid; no, it has been superseded by newer standards
12:22 psydruid; I've finished most of Stroustrup's newer book A Tour of C++ about C++17
12:23 psydruid; but yeah, you know where to get those
12:24 psydruid; keeping people on the treadmill is the name of the game
12:24 psydruid; so I jumped 20 years ahead by reading this book
12:25 psydruid; I don't know how people keep up with all the new stuff, as it's simply too much
12:26 schestowitz-TR; psydruid: i programmed a lot
12:26 schestowitz-TR; less in recent years
12:26 schestowitz-TR; but teens and 20s a lot
12:27 schestowitz-TR; and some of that published
12:27 schestowitz-TR; so I learned what code becomes useless shita
12:27 schestowitz-TR; *shit
12:27 schestowitz-TR; before I spent more time writing online and doing irc etc.
12:27 schestowitz-TR; bash seems to have a good shelf life
12:27 schestowitz-TR; gnu tools are good items to use
12:27 schestowitz-TR; python and php are not
12:28 psydruid; I generally don't write crappy code, so I manage to keep it updated over time
12:28 schestowitz-TR; even worse for larger frameworks
12:28 psydruid; yeah
12:28 schestowitz-TR; lego building with modules (perl, ruby etc.) is still risky
12:28 schestowitz-TR; because you then depend on each package in the chain
12:28 schestowitz-TR; for each distro you choose
12:28 schestowitz-TR; compiling from source can become hard
12:28 schestowitz-TR; like some new glib
12:29 schestowitz-TR; tbh,
12:29 schestowitz-TR; me being defeatist
12:29 schestowitz-TR; all code sucks
12:29 schestowitz-TR; and can be written with the assumption of being only temporarily useful
12:29 schestowitz-TR; watch xul
12:29 schestowitz-TR; and old android "apps"
12:29 schestowitz-TR; you cannot even run them anymore
12:29 schestowitz-TR; time wasdted
12:31 schestowitz-TR; your stack is yours
12:31 schestowitz-TR; but...
12:31 schestowitz-TR; the android users on the treadmill
12:31 schestowitz-TR; cannot run the binaries you run locally
12:31 schestowitz-TR; so even if you can compile the darn thing
12:31 schestowitz-TR; or make an apk
12:32 schestowitz-TR; they won't be able to "sideload" it
12:32 schestowitz-TR; so you are at the mercy of Gulag
12:32 schestowitz-TR; I don't touch any lang that Gulah controls even a little
12:32 schestowitz-TR; *Gulag

15:01 schestowitz-TR; trolls are time-consuming because it's hard tro refrain from resonding to uttered words you know to be false
15:01 schestowitz-TR; i'm still editing the draft a little, but you can preview and help spot typos
15:01 schestowitz-TR; no summary yet
15:07 psydruid; professional Microsoft trolls are a drain on society and the economy
15:10 schestowitz-TR; yeah
15:10 schestowitz-TR; and forums
15:10 schestowitz-TR; you can see context in another channelk
15:10 schestowitz-TR; adding summary now
15:10 schestowitz-TR; tradeoff between clarify and using limited timew wisely
15:10 schestowitz-TR; feel free to ignore me
15:10 schestowitz-TR; and to carry on doing other things
15:10 schestowitz-TR; if you are busy, i'll go ahead
15:10 Techrights-sec; checking
15:10 Techrights-sec; "here" should not be the hyperlink's anchor, the text in the anchor should
15:11 Techrights-sec; be "S.4913 Securing Open Source Software Act of 2022" or just "S.4913"
15:11 Techrights-sec; or just "Securing Open Source Software Act of 2022", something semantically
15:11 Techrights-sec; meaningful.
15:14 schestowitz-TR; thank you. finalising. then the ns1/net article.
15:29 Techrights-sec; np
15:29 Techrights-sec; likewise "says this page" should not be the anchor text, but instead
15:29 Techrights-sec; "The overwhelming majority of computers in the world rely on open source code freely available code that anyone can contribute to,"
15:30 schestowitz-TR; thanks, already pressed publish and moved n :/
15:30 schestowitz-TR; *on
15:30 schestowitz-TR; found many typos, too
15:31 schestowitz-TR; (typos don't bother me in irc, but it's a troll's best friend for ad hom, esp. if it's in the site
15:31 schestowitz-TR; and now an irc network (irc bot or me directly))
15:51 schestowitz-TR; third one in in drafts now
15:51 schestowitz-TR; i've strarted working on the second, which is longer and thus harder
15:51 schestowitz-TR; the 3rd one is short
15:51 schestowitz-TR; you can see the draft
15:51 schestowitz-TR; quotes you a bit
16:07 Techrights-sec; ack
16:07 Techrights-sec; checking
16:07 Techrights-sec; best not to quote that, it was off the record private
16:41 Techrights-sec; For how many more product cycles will "secure boot" have the opion to be
16:41 Techrights-sec; turned off in UEFI and for how many more Vist release will Vista allow that
16:41 Techrights-sec; option to even exist?
16:41 schestowitz-TR; mjg59_: ^
16:41 schestowitz-TR; you vandal
16:42 schestowitz-TR; this will haunt you for years
16:42 schestowitz-TR; people who know better will remember who to blame
16:49 psydruid; I knew when I got my first system with UEFI it would also be my last one (within boundaries)
16:50 psydruid; so mjg59_'s life's work is all for nothing but a paycheck
16:50 psydruid; that he will take into his grave anyway
16:51 psydruid; that laptop from 6 years ago works just as well today as it did back then
16:52 psydruid; so his sabotage will have diminishing returns over time
16:54 schestowitz-TR; there should be antitrust actions
16:55 schestowitz-TR; there were some
16:55 schestowitz-TR; he undermined them
16:55 schestowitz-TR; for a Pentagon salary
16:55 schestowitz-TR; now he uses those salaries to run around and get peopple to deliver food to his door
16:55 schestowitz-TR; like slaves
16:56 psydruid; it's pity money
16:56 psydruid; I wouldn't want that blood money
17:04 psydruid; the best thing to do is to freeze such people out
17:05 psydruid; maybe even to get their assets seized

18:04 Techrights-sec; Corporate or corporations?
18:04 Techrights-sec; Maybe it would be good to avoid athropomorphizing them and instead point out
18:04 Techrights-sec; that they are a group of people?
18:04 Techrights-sec; The paragraph starting "and they didn't even .." probably ought to be joined
18:04 Techrights-sec; with some of the preceding sentences and the paragrah split above that join?
18:04 Techrights-sec; If at all.
18:04 Techrights-sec; The acronym DPA needs to be expanded. <abbr title="something"> at the least
18:06 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell
18:08 schestowitz-TR; thanks, doing a second (final) pass now
18:08 schestowitz-TR; then the response to nick's video
18:08 Techrights-sec; np
18:08 Techrights-sec; nick's video was disappointing but not as bad as it initially looked however
18:08 Techrights-sec; not good just disappointing

18:27 Techrights-sec; It is clickbait but that does not stop him from expressing troubling statements
18:27 Techrights-sec; and glossing over problems. Like I said, it is very disappointing.
18:41 schestowitz-TR; I called it clickbait
18:41 schestowitz-TR; upon listening to it the first time
18:41 schestowitz-TR; the self-harming kind of clickbaiot
18:41 schestowitz-TR; like phoronix
18:41 schestowitz-TR; the story ends with a boy eaten by wolves by doing it too much
18:41 schestowitz-TR; i left aside uefi as a futurew [topic]
18:41 Techrights-sec; ack
18:48 schestowitz-TR; top comment: microsofter
18:48 schestowitz-TR; they are often there
18:48 schestowitz-TR; but this one even admits it
18:48 schestowitz-TR; draft
18:48 schestowitz-TR; the comment has a full generic name of a female
18:48 schestowitz-TR; so you know Microsoft PR has put that site under "observation" for perception management
18:48 schestowitz-TR; disagreeing is potential "sexism"
18:48 schestowitz-TR; that's why i stay well away from sh****les like reddit and hackernes
18:48 schestowitz-TR; don't want to srestle with pigs
18:49 schestowitz-TR; only the pigs GET PAID for it
18:52 schestowitz-TR; but then the pig gets paid some more
18:59 schestowitz-TR; d

18:59 Techrights-sec; The animated GIF is on a loop :(
18:59 Techrights-sec; instead of just running once or twice
18:59 Techrights-sec; It has been a long time since FF lost the ability to stop those from cycling
18:59 Techrights-sec; endlessly.
19:00 schestowitz-TR; i really ought to limit emes to just [meme]-labeled post
19:00 schestowitz-TR; thanks for pointing this out
19:00 schestowitz-TR; i will take a deserved break now...
19:00 schestowitz-TR; then catch up with rss
19:01 schestowitz-TR; rianne kept tm up to date with the other contribs
19:02 Techrights-sec; ok
19:02 Techrights-sec; nice
19:02 Techrights-sec; should tm have an rsync mirror in to topologically (networkwise) distinct
19:02 Techrights-sec; locations?
19:02 Techrights-sec; s/to/two/
19:02 schestowitz-TR; yes, definitely
19:02 schestowitz-TR; it also acts as data backup
19:02 schestowitz-TR; not just downtime resistance (can mess with dns)
19:03 Techrights-sec; Which machine can be the second host for that?
19:03 schestowitz-TR; will think about it after a nap ;-)
