06:42 schestowitz-TR; rianne is happy that liverpool lost the final

06:42 schestowitz-TR; though they're english, she dislikes them deeply because they compete with Manchester City

06:42 schestowitz-TR; other than that, productive day in TR yesterday

06:42 schestowitz-TR; many videos and posts

06:42 schestowitz-TR; I'm back to work tomorrow evening

06:42 schestowitz-TR; no changes to rota expected till July

08:53 schestowitz-TR; working on ergononics today

08:53 schestowitz-TR; notably feet angle

08:53 schestowitz-TR; needed to elevate them a bit

08:53 schestowitz-TR; improved something

08:53 schestowitz-TR; I eamtn improvised

08:53 schestowitz-TR; *meant

08:53 Techrights-sec; excellent

08:53 Techrights-sec; ergonomics is an essential factor in any work environment

08:53 Techrights-sec; safety is an important factor in improvisatino :/

08:55 schestowitz-TR; yes, part of the change was to prove safety

08:55 schestowitz-TR; to distance myself from electric cables

08:55 schestowitz-TR; *improve safety

08:55 schestowitz-TR; but I will still tweak a little more later

08:55 schestowitz-TR; circulation is not good when sitting down the majority of the day

09:13 schestowitz-TR; I am going the upc rebuttal screenshot thing

09:13 schestowitz-TR; I have a new method for checking dupes

09:13 schestowitz-TR; along the way I 'google' some names of authors

09:13 schestowitz-TR; my rebuttals show up prominently

09:13 schestowitz-TR; this is a very good approach

09:13 schestowitz-TR; it can also put off potential clients of theirs

09:13 schestowitz-TR; so they might stop lying

09:20 Techrights-sec; one can hope so

09:20 schestowitz-TR; that is the strategy anyway. zoobab is working on a press release.

09:20 Techrights-sec; great!


10 AM, May 29

10:11 schestowitz-TR; if only more people knew what's at stake and one can be done about it

10:11 schestowitz-TR; instead they're busy arguing over whether women can have a dick

10:11 schestowitz-TR; the corporations want us to stay out of the way

10:11 schestowitz-TR; so they can govern and write the law

10:11 schestowitz-TR; I'm done now taking and annotating screenshot, made 19 in total

10:11 Techrights-sec; people have been traind to acquiesce to all requests made on behalf of

10:11 Techrights-sec; IT (read : M$)

10:11 Techrights-sec; yes they want the pubic to stay out of the way and to be quiet

10:12 schestowitz-TR; Campinos refers to this as "anti-IP"

10:12 schestowitz-TR; how a loser like that can run the EPO... and EUIPO... sadly saya a lot about the EU

10:12 schestowitz-TR; Ursula also

10:12 schestowitz-TR; one of the worst German politicians

10:47 schestowitz-TR; I've just added a draft

10:47 schestowitz-TR; a lot are screenshots, with all the text (and some names) in alt

10:59 Techrights-sec; checking

10:59 Techrights-sec; "IF" ?

10:59 Techrights-sec; the commentary in the screenshots should use a different typeface altogether

10:59 Techrights-sec; to distinguish the comments from the original better. Maybe a serif typeface?


11 AM, May 29

11:00 schestowitz-TR; today I finally learned how to change font size

11:00 schestowitz-TR; it's with the mouse scroller

11:00 schestowitz-TR; I did not know this before

11:00 schestowitz-TR; I don't know how to change fonts and IF it is possible ;-)

11:01 Techrights-sec; the summary could use a word or two about the nature of the lies, for Gemini

11:01 Techrights-sec; readers to be able to get the contexxt

11:01 Techrights-sec; The summary should kind of stand on its own in Gemini, so "team UPC" could be

11:01 Techrights-sec; expanded for emphasis

11:01 Techrights-sec; too

11:01 schestowitz-TR; I am going to add a full body, but not very long

11:10 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell

11:15 schestowitz-TR; just added 3 paragraphs

11:15 schestowitz-TR; there might be typos

11:15 Techrights-sec; thanks

11:15 schestowitz-TR; it can be emotionally tiring, not just physically tiring, to push back

11:15 schestowitz-TR; few of us do this

11:15 schestowitz-TR; too few

14:25 schestowitz-TR; draft

14:26 Techrights-sec; s/Tea UPC/Team UPC/

14:26 Techrights-sec; also, keep reminding the readers who the Team is

14:26 Techrights-sec; LOL

14:26 schestowitz-TR; I've literally just come back to the desk with tea 20 secs ago

14:26 schestowitz-TR; thanks, will amend

14:28 schestowitz-TR; we still have 6 large lemons left

14:29 schestowitz-TR; from those ~40 we purchaed weeks at at quarter price

14:29 schestowitz-TR; so I drink nearly 5 litres of lemon-water with "light" tea per day

14:29 schestowitz-TR; tomorrow we'll try to find similar deals

14:29 schestowitz-TR; no coffee in weeks

14:29 Techrights-sec; I thought it was more traditional with limes ;)

14:30 schestowitz-TR; I think limes are just a citrus variety close to "classic" lemons

14:30 schestowitz-TR; but smaller and greener

14:30 schestowitz-TR; the taste is similarly tangy

14:30 schestowitz-TR; good for mixing with alcohol when you serve a glass at over 5 pounds, so the

14:30 schestowitz-TR; cost of the fruit is relatively negligible

14:51 Techrights-sec; ack

14:51 Techrights-sec; ack

14:53 schestowitz-TR; rying to lose a little more weight still

14:53 schestowitz-TR; lemon as appetite suppressant works

14:53 schestowitz-TR; but only to an extend

14:53 schestowitz-TR; *extent

14:53 schestowitz-TR; a lot of the diety depends on what's on sale

14:53 Techrights-sec; ack

14:53 schestowitz-TR; when the stocks are lot there's risk of snacking like peanuts, cereal, and break/pastry

14:53 schestowitz-TR; fibre and water helps mislead the body

15:13 schestowitz-TR; do you think light humour is suitable to convey certain messages?

15:13 schestowitz-TR; without coming acorss as "angry" or "toxic"?

15:13 schestowitz-TR; it's a method, I think

15:13 schestowitz-TR; you must have seen how DT spins disdain for systemd as "hatred"

15:13 schestowitz-TR; which is rather shallow

15:13 Techrights-sec; ack

15:13 Techrights-sec; yes, I thought it was poorly said and done in that video

15:13 Techrights-sec; he's smart enough not to fall for poettering's bullshit and lies but has

15:13 Techrights-sec; chosen instead to toe the line and actively spread disinformation and strife

15:13 Techrights-sec; systemd has earned it's hatred on technical merits. However, above and beyond

15:13 Techrights-sec; that the political games taht Poettering's crowd have dragged GNU/Linux into

15:13 Techrights-sec; are reprehensible.

15:14 schestowitz-TR; I did not click (only link to) that video, but he insinuated it's possible to remove and many distros do not have it

15:14 schestowitz-TR; it's like saying putin has no imperialistic ambitions because hungary has orban

15:15 Techrights-sec; yes but he went on and on about 'hate' being the reason that systemd is rejeccted

15:16 schestowitz-TR; bad people and bad things tend to be hated

15:16 schestowitz-TR; ask DT [TM] is he hates it when hurricanes hit his home

15:16 schestowitz-TR; he needs to quit all that hatin' and embrace hurricanes

15:16 schestowitz-TR; open the door, have a chat with it

15:20 schestowitz-TR; draft (meme, hopefully funny)

15:20 schestowitz-TR; wait, still uploading meme

15:20 schestowitz-TR; done

15:21 Techrights-sec; ok

15:21 Techrights-sec; checking

15:21 Techrights-sec; I don't get the cartoon part, but the summary is understandable. It is important

15:21 Techrights-sec; to drive home as many times as necessary who is pushing the dead UPC and

15:21 Techrights-sec; what they are lying about

15:21 Techrights-sec; ^dead UPC proposal

15:21 Techrights-sec; yes, especially that

15:21 Techrights-sec; important to remind that it is not legal

15:21 Techrights-sec; they keep googlebombing that part out of sighty

15:21 Techrights-sec; *sight

15:21 schestowitz-TR; important to remind that it is not legal

15:21 schestowitz-TR; *sight

15:27 Techrights-sec; checking

15:27 Techrights-sec; excellent!

15:29 schestowitz-TR; reworded a bit

15:29 schestowitz-TR; links to ffii press release tooAAA

15:29 schestowitz-TR; miss myjamas is another kakistocrat

15:29 schestowitz-TR; sometimes I feel like "I'm missing out"

15:29 schestowitz-TR; by now being evil ;-)

15:29 schestowitz-TR; *not

15:29 schestowitz-TR; *miss pyjamas

15:29 Techrights-sec; excellent!

15:29 Techrights-sec; ack

15:29 Techrights-sec; remmber in the articles to stay with 'firstname "nickname" lastname" so that

15:29 Techrights-sec; both the confusion is reduced, accuracy is preserved, and the search engines

15:29 Techrights-sec; may better associate TR articles with those names

15:39 schestowitz-TR; i messed around some more with obs studio today

15:39 schestowitz-TR; I think I'm close to knowing all the features sans plugins

15:39 schestowitz-TR; so I won't be missing out on potentially great hidden gems

15:39 schestowitz-TR; I still use webcamoid on vonick

15:39 schestowitz-TR; both have their strength

15:39 schestowitz-TR; by obs is a superset in a lot of ways

15:39 schestowitz-TR; inc. the way it handles high frame rates

15:39 schestowitz-TR; I will never do stream because it pointless and it relies on third party servers from very unsavoury providers

15:43 Techrights-sec; ack

15:53 schestowitz-TR; just updated the pi, it had a few packages patched in past 2 days

15:53 schestowitz-TR; still no kernel received

15:53 schestowitz-TR; if I get one, I will reboot and see if that goes into something newer than 5.10.x

15:53 schestowitz-TR; the good thing about keeping it up to date meticulously is that it has many working notes, some sensitive

15:54 schestowitz-TR; accessed over ssh from rianne's PC and mine

15:54 schestowitz-TR; also a light backup point

15:54 schestowitz-TR; with hot spares


5 PM, May 29

17:26 Techrights-sec; just be religious about backing up the data at least once per day and that

17:26 Techrights-sec; should mitigate much of the risk

17:26 schestowitz-TR; religious? THAT'S HATE!

17:27 Techrights-sec; Or just plain OCD about backing up the data

17:36 schestowitz-TR; you should see those two 5-second clips of Campinos

17:36 schestowitz-TR; published

17:36 schestowitz-TR; I want to hear your reaction

17:36 schestowitz-TR; I got rianne's

17:36 schestowitz-TR; the key part is those pair of 5-second videos further down

17:36 schestowitz-TR; I added some background

17:40 Techrights-sec; ok

17:40 Techrights-sec; very long intro

17:40 Techrights-sec; is he mentally all there any more?

17:41 schestowitz-TR; Best of EU

17:41 schestowitz-TR; FOK USE

17:41 schestowitz-TR; how he says focus

17:41 schestowitz-TR; the rumour at the office is that he is sniffingf dugs

17:41 schestowitz-TR; but I would not write that as it's not verified

17:41 schestowitz-TR; *drugs

17:42 Techrights-sec; whenever the phrase "best and brightest" comes up, it reminds me specifically

17:42 Techrights-sec; of this story: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/window-strength-death/

↺ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/window-strength-death/

17:42 Techrights-sec; correct but it is something to keep a look out for regarding new information

17:43 schestowitz-TR; 1) there is drubnk driving in the family (son crashed the car when drunk)

17:43 schestowitz-TR; 2) plane story about Campinos removed from plane for disorderly drunk incident

17:43 schestowitz-TR; (not sure)

17:43 schestowitz-TR; 3) Jorge Campinos (the father) died in car accident

17:51 Techrights-sec; ack

17:51 Techrights-sec; 3) what was the BAL recorded for the driver?

17:52 schestowitz-TR; funny you should mentoon this as I wanted to check the same

17:52 schestowitz-TR; as it would enable a "Hy, I'm Tony.." type infographics

17:52 schestowitz-TR; but the info might be in portuguese

18:00 schestowitz-TR; I see a Le Monde (fr) article abbout it from that year

18:00 schestowitz-TR; from my shitty french comprehension it seems to provide ano attentional details

18:00 schestowitz-TR; but I vagely recall something about vehicle overturned

18:00 schestowitz-TR; b

18:00 schestowitz-TR; but maybe I confuse that with some other recollection of a different incident/death

18:00 schestowitz-TR; now I see some books saying the same

18:00 schestowitz-TR; yes, I found footage of the funeral

19:11 schestowitz-TR; 1990s: job demand

19:11 schestowitz-TR; 2000: the market is BACK

19:11 schestowitz-TR; 2010: we're back

19:11 schestowitz-TR; after pandemic: market back!

19:11 schestowitz-TR; after unkraine: MACK

19:11 schestowitz-TR; 'after'

19:11 schestowitz-TR; they always cheers "the system"

19:11 schestowitz-TR; there are always many jobs, they say

19:11 schestowitz-TR; while they blame "great resiugnation"

19:11 schestowitz-TR; the people who OWN the paper never had to apply for a job!

19:13 schestowitz-TR; blame the unem,ployed or uneresployed for their misfortunes

19:13 schestowitz-TR; and blaming the poor for their poverty

19:13 schestowitz-TR; that's how the system helpd the "weak"

19:13 schestowitz-TR; shame

19:13 schestowitz-TR; *underemployed

19:14 Techrights-sec; yep

19:14 Techrights-sec; and avoid pointing out that there is more money than ever circulating but

19:14 Techrights-sec; that it is ending up only in the pockets of fewer than ever

19:15 schestowitz-TR; pockets when then buy nthe media, even national broadcasters like Jimmy Vavlile gateBC

19:15 Techrights-sec; yes buy the media and move the money outside of the economy

19:16 schestowitz-TR; EPO's EPOTIF

19:16 schestowitz-TR; you get patents

19:16 schestowitz-TR; thjey hoard money

19:16 schestowitz-TR; they gamble it

19:16 schestowitz-TR; some 'help'...

19:19 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@ax7qs2q3ckkci.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

19:22 Techrights-sec; ack

19:24 schestowitz-TR; when you are very poor and must apply for jobs you not only get even poorer but also demoralised and insulted

19:24 schestowitz-TR; the media wants the labour pool to increase because it increases capital

19:24 schestowitz-TR; even if the labour does not net much of that capital surplus

19:24 schestowitz-TR; in fact, salaries can decrease when there is oversupply

19:27 schestowitz-TR; yesterday on phone sister told me that she regreteed having gotten back to her job and that

19:27 schestowitz-TR; the only reason she likely did that was needing the money

19:27 schestowitz-TR; a

19:27 schestowitz-TR; job that she really does not like and wanted to get away from

19:27 schestowitz-TR; (she has kids)

19:33 Techrights-sec; ack

19:34 schestowitz-TR; the thing about that is, you can abort, not undo

19:34 schestowitz-TR; soon, both will be illegal

19:34 schestowitz-TR; not just the one

19:34 schestowitz-TR; you don't get to control the condition for the lifetime of a person

19:34 schestowitz-TR; or sign papers of assurance

19:34 schestowitz-TR; the upside is, it take the pressure off us

19:34 schestowitz-TR; no need forf two drivers at the wheel...

19:50 schestowitz-TR; i have enough for a batch of daily links

19:50 schestowitz-TR; I was annoyed earlier today by 3 (in a row) microsoft spam nin my "Linux" rss folder

19:50 schestowitz-TR; imagine Linux Foundation writing prress releases about holes in Windows(R)
