07:19 schestowitz-TR2; did I miss anything?
07:53 techrights-sec[2]; nothing missed except a heads up about maintenance##########################
07:53 techrights-sec[2]; startpage, however, had moved to requiring javascript a few days ago and as of
07:53 techrights-sec[2]; today blocks most functionality (at least from GNU/Linux)
07:53 techrights-sec[2]; There were ways past it until a few days ago.
07:53 schestowitz-TR2; weird. I thought it had moved to requiring it like 4-5 years ago
07:53 schestowitz-TR2; quite a day in wall street!
07:54 techrights-sec[2]; I don't follow LARPing or LARPers, so what happened to the LARPers? aka wallstreet
07:55 schestowitz-TR2; companies are re-adjusting to their real value
07:55 schestowitz-TR2; some close shop, accepting their fate
07:56 techrights-sec[2]; closing shop is too good for many of them :(
07:57 schestowitz-TR2; the clown-first company is still firing "azure" workers (it's just a label)
07:58 techrights-sec[2]; That firing should be highlighted, to counter the bullshit they spew about
07:58 techrights-sec[2]; their over-priced, underpowered, unreliable hosting services.
07:58 techrights-sec[2]; Ok
07:58 schestowitz-TR2; I already did a mention of this the other day
07:58 schestowitz-TR2; in TR quick blog post
08:25 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
08:33 techrights-sec[2]; How much of the "revenue" attributed to azure is simply the result of
08:33 techrights-sec[2]; transferring line items from other parts of the budget?
08:33 techrights-sec[2]; ^ topic ?
08:33 schestowitz-TR2; the problem is, I don't have enough info

11:10 schestowitz-TR2; the tram system has about 150 stations
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; this makes it easier to get around
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; even just to nature
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; at a low cost of 6.80pp for 3 days
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; don't want to do much indoors
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; taking advantage of warm winter period
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; so might be afk a lot

11:13 schestowitz-TR2; from fsf... now "Member for: 1 month" in JOINUP

11:13 schestowitz-TR2; he looks a lot older now, shaved his head
11:13 schestowitz-TR2; Org: "OpenForum Europe"
11:13 schestowitz-TR2; that's very LF- and ICBM-aligned
11:13 schestowitz-TR2; but at least he still advocated FOSS
11:13 schestowitz-TR2; I see he is active in the joinup site this past month

11:16 schestowitz-TR2; I spke to Gjives of whatever his name was
11:16 schestowitz-TR2; after they had changed drupal and killed off the rss feeds
11:16 schestowitz-TR2; I am trying to find rss feeds at the moment
11:16 schestowitz-TR2; no success so far
11:16 schestowitz-TR2; (I meant joinup, not fsf)
11:16 schestowitz-TR2; fsf has done too little lately
11:16 schestowitz-TR2; but I think due to attacks on them

11:21 schestowitz-TR2; prior to that they had offered rss feeds

11:21 schestowitz-TR2; he was reading TM while running JoinUp
11:21 schestowitz-TR2; I've not seen his name for ages

11:21 schestowitz-TR2; he did some fine with with rms, focusing on swpats
11:21 schestowitz-TR2; including but not only eu/epo

11:23 schestowitz-TR2; and encourage that with linking
11:23 matteobin; schestowitz-TR2: I'll be only in London for an adventure/narrative games exposition, just a couple of days.
11:24 schestowitz-TR2; i see
11:25 schestowitz-TR2; sorry, we don't travel outside manchester these days
11:25 schestowitz-TR2; since 2020
11:25 matteobin; Becuase of COVID?
11:25 schestowitz-TR2; rianne just canceled a trip
11:25 schestowitz-TR2; yes, COVID
11:25 schestowitz-TR2; her aunt told us this morning she contracted it
11:25 schestowitz-TR2; trip canceled
11:25 schestowitz-TR2; yorkshire
11:26 matteobin; I would like to visit York in the future, where there's Revolution Software office.
11:26 matteobin; And then I would love to visit Scotland.
11:27 matteobin; I've been to Ireland, I loved it. I'm not a big city guy. I prefer small rural towns and nature.
11:27 matteobin; Is Manchester very big?
11:28 matteobin; Let me known if you plan to visit Italy/Tuscany.
11:28 schestowitz-TR2; greater manchester is very big
11:28 schestowitz-TR2; we plan to do many trips this weekend
11:28 schestowitz-TR2; it's warn
11:28 schestowitz-TR2; for winter, super-warm
11:29 schestowitz-TR2; rianne took dayys off work, tidies up house etc.
11:29 schestowitz-TR2; for the trip that's now canceled
11:29 schestowitz-TR2; in nature, even walking is nice exercise
11:29 schestowitz-TR2; and lots of trails to check, we're going though a survey of some atm
11:30 matteobin; Nice! I love hiking.
11:30 schestowitz-TR2; but this is a rare chance
11:30 schestowitz-TR2; winter will get cold soon
11:30 schestowitz-TR2; and some leaves are still on some trees
11:30 matteobin; Does Rianne work in IT too?
11:31 schestowitz-TR2; same job and company as me
11:31 matteobin; Here there are not dead leaves yet!
11:31 matteobin; It's like spring.
11:33 schestowitz-TR2; is is north os south?
11:34 schestowitz-TR2; *is it
11:35 matteobin; Centre, I live in Tuscany, near Florence. https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/41977
11:35 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.openstreetmap.org | Relation: Toscana (41977) | OpenStreetMap
11:36 schestowitz-TR2; nice
11:36 schestowitz-TR2; i wish I could live somewhere like this
11:36 schestowitz-TR2; economically it is harder there
11:37 schestowitz-TR2; a close friend of mine was from there before he left manchester
11:37 schestowitz-TR2; gianluca
11:37 matteobin; Where I live? Really? I wouldn't have guessed it. Maybe it's because I've always lived here.
11:38 schestowitz-TR2; his family had worked abroad in dubai
11:38 schestowitz-TR2; but like many students he came here for education
11:38 schestowitz-TR2; was around cambridge last I spoke to him
11:38 matteobin; I like where I live. I really like Italy.
11:38 schestowitz-TR2; did his phd there
11:38 matteobin; Well it's not Dubai, but Tuscany is a great place to live.
11:39 schestowitz-TR2; many italians travel for the money
11:39 schestowitz-TR2; us, uk, even gulf states
11:39 schestowitz-TR2; not sure they find happiness
11:39 schestowitz-TR2; but some find more money
11:39 matteobin; I think life is cheaper than in London.
11:39 schestowitz-TR2; not the same
11:40 schestowitz-TR2; yes, but many high-paying jobs are in the big cities
11:40 schestowitz-TR2; and i reckon milan is very expensive to live in
11:40 schestowitz-TR2; but have not checked
11:40 matteobin; Yeah, sure, in Italy you won't get rich working in IT.
11:40 matteobin; However I would not like to do those jobs that might make you rich.
11:40 schestowitz-TR2; many chase the high salaries and pay a lot of those in rent fees
11:41 matteobin; Milan is a bit more like London.
11:41 schestowitz-TR2; my salary is very small
11:41 schestowitz-TR2; but the job is easy
11:41 matteobin; How much, if I may?
11:41 schestowitz-TR2; 26.5k/year
11:42 techrights-sec[2]; So I guess the shift might be due to hellenius having moved on
11:43 schestowitz-TR2; techrights-sec[2]:
11:43 schestowitz-TR2; yes, but he must still be around somewhere. I cannot recall how to sell his name
11:43 schestowitz-TR2; just how it sounds
11:43 schestowitz-TR2; some flemmish
11:46 matteobin; Is that without tax? That's more than I get! :D
11:47 schestowitz-TR2; before tax
11:47 schestowitz-TR2; but tax is not high at those band
11:47 schestowitz-TR2; most of national insurance (health)
11:47 schestowitz-TR2; techrights-sec[2]:
11:47 schestowitz-TR2; can you confirm new "merged" file compared to previous merged file is just the same sans the automated?
11:47 schestowitz-TR2; (thanks in advance, don't wanna miss anything)
11:47 matteobin; I get about 1400 without tax.
11:47 techrights-sec[2]; yes
11:47 techrights-sec[2]; the new one has the automated links or at least should
11:47 techrights-sec[2]; the old one was missing the links
11:48 schestowitz-TR2; matteobin: how is the job?
11:48 schestowitz-TR2; hard?
11:48 schestowitz-TR2; challenging?
11:48 schestowitz-TR2; fun?
11:48 schestowitz-TR2; some work from home?
11:48 schestowitz-TR2; nice colleagues?
11:48 *Mio14 has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds)
11:51 matteobin; The job is easy. Some collegues are nice.
11:51 matteobin; I work from home 3/5 days per week.
11:51 matteobin; I get a lot of time to do my stuff.
11:51 matteobin; But I would like to change it, because it's not ethical.
11:51 schestowitz-TR2; good
11:51 matteobin; It's hard to get GNU jobs in Italy.
11:51 schestowitz-TR2; sounds simialr to me
11:52 matteobin; I'm not interested in money very much.
11:52 matteobin; I would like to make 1500/1600 oer month, but that's about it.
11:52 schestowitz-TR2; which part of the job do you deem unethical?
11:52 schestowitz-TR2; I was planning to leave my jobs this year
11:52 matteobin; All of it! :D
11:52 schestowitz-TR2; and had big arguments with my bosses
11:52 schestowitz-TR2; but they became quite apologetic
11:52 matteobin; I am a full stack web developer.
11:52 schestowitz-TR2; so for now I'm still there
11:53 matteobin; We make crap websites with WordPress and we develop a web management software.
11:53 schestowitz-TR2; techrights-sec[2]:
11:53 schestowitz-TR2; todo (notes): find out wth is going on with 1) layoffs at MSFT 2) losses (WHICH divisions? what they hide...)
11:53 schestowitz-TR2; until I know what's "open secret" a video or article would be of little value IMHO
11:53 schestowitz-TR2; when I researched this a week ago I found out azure had layoffs again
11:53 schestowitz-TR2; and some insider said they had FOUR waves of layoffs this year
11:53 schestowitz-TR2; but that is not verified (by me)
11:53 schestowitz-TR2; seems like 'hearsay'
11:53 schestowitz-TR2; matteobin: wordpress is not too bad
11:54 matteobin; We use a lot of Microsoft stuff.
11:54 schestowitz-TR2; which part is not ethical?
11:54 schestowitz-TR2; ah
11:54 schestowitz-TR2; microsoft stuff
11:54 schestowitz-TR2; I refuse to do that
11:54 schestowitz-TR2; some charity in africa wanted me to volunteer
11:54 schestowitz-TR2; and then I found out it was loads of microsoft crap
11:54 schestowitz-TR2; and bailed out
11:55 matteobin; Well it wouldn't be too bad if we weren't using visual composers full of shit JS.
11:55 schestowitz-TR2; that is what wordpress has become
11:55 schestowitz-TR2; in recent vesrsions, starting ariund v4.x
11:55 schestowitz-TR2; reactjs and crap
11:56 matteobin; I have to use Windows because of our core business.
11:56 schestowitz-TR2; that sucks
11:56 matteobin; Most of our software runs on Windows, crappy management software.
11:57 matteobin; Sometimes I make customisations to those.
11:57 matteobin; It's a compromise.
11:57 schestowitz-TR2; I'd like to have offered a referral for you
11:57 schestowitz-TR2; but I don't know companies that hire atm
11:57 schestowitz-TR2; I know many that shrink
11:57 schestowitz-TR2; let me put it like this
11:57 schestowitz-TR2; 2020: many jobs work from home
11:58 schestowitz-TR2; 2021: businesses reopening, temptation to leave
11:58 matteobin; At least I dual boot Debian and they know I'm very versed in Free Software.
11:58 schestowitz-TR2; 2022: businesses collapsing
11:58 schestowitz-TR2; so even all those "work from home" jobs are getting harder to find again
11:58 matteobin; It's no problem really. It's hard for all of us FOSS guys. I'll manage to find something else.
11:58 matteobin; Thanks anyway. :)
11:58 schestowitz-TR2; set aside how they want to herd workers back into "offices" (cages of metal and glass)
11:59 matteobin; There are good things about my job too.
11:59 matteobin; You are right. The next years will surely be interesting.
12:00 schestowitz-TR2; yes, and inflation...
12:00 schestowitz-TR2; it's getting harder to find discounts, even though we're very good at it

14:25 techrights-sec[2]; They can't ride on past glory very long if at all
14:25 techrights-sec[2]; longer
14:25 techrights-sec[2]; They've already given every appearance of coasting for a while now.
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; every campaign will
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; make you allies
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; make you enemies
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; that's just how it is
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; becoming indebted to people's will can paralyse
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; i remember bad vista or "7 sins"
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; and how a few people online said fsf had gone "negative"
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; since then there has been too soft an attitude
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; also dbd (formerly by jgay) is mute
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; not sure what to say except,
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; do something
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; not moving anywhere makes one stagnant
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; they do need to piss off some people
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; I think it was a mattl idea (rms foe) to send hdd to microsoft
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; to ask for windows code
14:31 schestowitz-TR2; it was a dumb stunt imho
14:32 schestowitz-TR2; what message might that send?
14:32 schestowitz-TR2; "fsf wants to set windows free?"
14:32 schestowitz-TR2; btw, geddit (the reddit of gemini) has put links to techrights under the news section
14:32 schestowitz-TR2; pretty amazing given the context
14:32 schestowitz-TR2; we're like one of only 4, and the others are msm gateways
14:32 schestowitz-TR2; geedit is a big deal
14:32 schestowitz-TR2; i only noticed last night
14:40 schestowitz; > Hi Roy,

16:11 techrights-sec[2]; They'll have to continue to spin the losses in their clown division as something
16:11 techrights-sec[2]; other than what they really are: losses. Twenty years ago the world laughed at
16:11 techrights-sec[2]; them for having advertising as their single largest line item. They quickly
16:11 techrights-sec[2]; rewrote the next report to hide that by distributing the advertising budget
16:11 techrights-sec[2]; throughout the other line items, so advertising in effect is still their
16:11 techrights-sec[2]; main business, after lobbying.
16:11 schestowitz-TR2; haha, they are NOT losses
16:11 schestowitz-TR2; THey are INVESTINGF!!!
16:11 schestowitz-TR2; be patient
16:11 schestowitz-TR2; like all those SF 'startups'
16:11 schestowitz-TR2; they are stats... waiting to be "discovered"

18:08 psydruid; as a "reason" for asking for supporting thunderbird I've mentioned (to microsoft) they've broken support for it
