09:22 schestowitz-TR; i have just read your link re chris rock
09:22 schestowitz-TR; what the actual f?
09:22 schestowitz-TR; this is show biz now?
09:23 Techrights-sec; it's so sad to see what he has sunk to; he had many years of good articles
09:23 Techrights-sec; before M$ broke him and makes him eat shit and smile every week
09:23 Techrights-sec; checking
09:23 Techrights-sec; yes wwe on stage
09:23 Techrights-sec; which link specifically?
09:23 Techrights-sec; it's bizarre that he was not led off stage in handcuffs
09:23 Techrights-sec; ^smiff not rock
09:24 schestowitz-TR; standards have been lowered
09:24 schestowitz-TR; now oscars became jerry springer show
09:24 schestowitz-TR; next: white house
09:24 schestowitz-TR; it got close to that with the microphone 4 years ago (acosta)
09:24 Techrights-sec; the live audience reaction is a symptom of how sick society has become
09:24 Techrights-sec; reminds me of the car scene in "Idiocracy"
09:25 schestowitz-TR; *fart fart fart fart*
09:30 Techrights-sec; cheetonazi is soliciting more foreign interference again, highly illegal given
09:30 Techrights-sec; his past and current positionl, teachnically treasonous; but then neither
09:30 Techrights-sec; sedition nor treason have been prosecuted during the last 15 years
09:30 Techrights-sec; despite occurences
09:30 Techrights-sec; faux news, newsmax, and other are part of that
09:30 schestowitz-TR; i am not the most polite person ever
09:30 schestowitz-TR; but nevertheless I see liars all around
09:30 schestowitz-TR; I'd rather be a little rude/abrasive but honest
09:31 schestowitz-TR; or accepting comedy/sarcasm/chalelnging expression of opinion
09:31 schestowitz-TR; than the opposite
09:31 schestowitz-TR; I think north europe is still OK in this regard
09:31 schestowitz-TR; torvalds can no longer tell jokes
09:31 schestowitz-TR; but then again he was naturalised usian
09:33 Techrights-sec; not really any more, not for a decade or so :/
09:33 Techrights-sec; linus was for a while the most powerful man on the planet and others figure that
09:33 Techrights-sec; out and decided to saw him off a bit; thus the false medical treatment and other
09:33 Techrights-sec; punishments while he remains functionally removed from his own project and prelaced with microsofters
09:33 Techrights-sec; with WWIII continuing as it has, M$ and its products need to be removed
09:33 Techrights-sec; and that means removal of staff because M$ is a staffing problem; microsofters
09:33 Techrights-sec; cannot be retooled to learn IT. They don't have the logical thought process
09:33 Techrights-sec; and have already shown themselves to be severely untrustworthy and recivivistic
09:34 schestowitz-TR; at best they would install "wsl" from "the shop"
09:34 schestowitz-TR; the "store", sorry...
09:34 schestowitz-TR; the nadella candy store
09:34 schestowitz-TR; with "rich people"...
09:34 schestowitz-TR; and withy bribes
09:36 Techrights-sec; M$ would have dried up and blown away many times over these last 30 years without so many bailouts and overt/covert pentagon sup
09:36 Techrights-sec; port
09:36 Techrights-sec; Everywhere it can be found, it represents a backdoor for CIA^WFSB etc.
09:38 schestowitz-TR; but the cynic in me would say
09:38 schestowitz-TR; you know how the world works
09:38 schestowitz-TR; what wins over isn\t what's functional and just
09:38 schestowitz-TR; quite often the exact opposite
09:38 schestowitz-TR; case of poing
09:38 schestowitz-TR; the money (product) is in lying
09:38 schestowitz-TR; saying things as they are is not a product
09:38 schestowitz-TR; "reputation laundering"
09:38 schestowitz-TR; "brand management" etc etc
09:43 Techrights-sec; yep
09:45 schestowitz-TR; it might snow today and temps around zero, we'll see how I can cope in this office with heating turned off (last we turned it on was 2019 I think, as guests were sleeping over)
09:57 Techrights-sec; as long as it does not cause condensation, it is no problm, just add more clothes
09:58 schestowitz-TR; i quite enjoyed, in the guilty sort of way, seeing what hedges wrote about
09:58 schestowitz-TR; outsourcing is always just a ticking time bomb
09:58 schestowitz-TR; he also wrote a lot for truthdig
09:58 schestowitz-TR; that never came back
09:58 schestowitz-TR; it collapsed due to disagreement between scheer and that lady whose
09:58 schestowitz-TR; name I cannot recall
09:58 schestowitz-TR; hedges should write only in his own site
09:58 schestowitz-TR; this is the only way to assure preservation
10:00 schestowitz-TR; ack
10:00 schestowitz-TR; monkey dance?
10:00 schestowitz-TR; ack
10:00 Techrights-sec; ack
10:00 Techrights-sec; monkey dance?
10:00 schestowitz-TR; monkey dance?
10:02 schestowitz-TR; even if the videos are do are the suckiest shit in terms of quality and ui
10:02 schestowitz-TR; and "discoverability" (until gulagtube shuts down or shuts you down),
10:02 schestowitz-TR; and even if it can be expensive with operational overheads
10:02 schestowitz-TR; we still have videos in the site, in trhe same address they were in
10:02 schestowitz-TR; back in 2006
10:02 schestowitz-TR; but those videos that we did not host loccally, instead pointing
10:03 schestowitz-TR; to Google Video (shut down well over a decade ago) are gone for good
10:03 schestowitz-TR; like ballmer and hovsepian
10:03 schestowitz-TR; they have historic value
10:03 schestowitz-TR; the historic value is also a cautionary tale
10:03 schestowitz-TR; e.g. for paul cromier
10:03 schestowitz-TR; re monkey dance, it's too viral to go away for good
10:03 schestowitz-TR; however, elop is another matter, with revisionism
10:03 schestowitz-TR; when someone chose TWITTER for Ballmer though rub
10:03 schestowitz-TR; I got the video downloaded using some online tool
10:03 schestowitz-TR; then re-uploaded it
10:03 schestowitz-TR; those are likely to vanish
10:05 Techrights-sec; https://youtu.be/dbCmnRztK1Y
10:05 Techrights-sec; Elop's owners hired some shills to write a book that, at best, bent the truth
10:05 Techrights-sec; severely and omitted a *hell of a lot* of important, relevant facts in order
10:05 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@Invidious: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=dbCmnRztK1Y
10:05 Techrights-sec; to decree that he was "only" a bad CEO. The thing they wish to cover up was
10:05 Techrights-sec; that the board was involved and signed a contract giving him 18 millino EUR if
10:05 Techrights-sec; he sold out to M$ specifically. So he actively and consciously tanked the
10:05 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell--> yewtu.be | Monkey dance (Steve Ballmer making an ass out of himself) - Invidious
10:05 Techrights-sec; company and its falship product line and sold off the headquarters in order
10:05 Techrights-sec; to bring the value way down for M$
10:05 Techrights-sec; Yes, the patents were icing on the cake from M$ perspective
10:05 Techrights-sec; The gift that keeps on giving.
10:07 schestowitz-TR; elop lowered the sale value
10:07 schestowitz-TR; and then parcelled off the patents to trolls
10:07 schestowitz-TR; which still attack android and apple's hype'phone'
10:07 schestowitz-TR; but jim zemlin said already around 2009 we should "respect Microsoft"
10:07 schestowitz-TR; even some microsoft directors do not respect this "puppy"
10:07 schestowitz-TR; stop kicking! You puppy kicker!
10:07 schestowitz-TR; this ties back to the point I made earlier about liars
10:07 schestowitz-TR; liars goo up
10:07 schestowitz-TR; hedges and his guests? RUSHAN SPIES!!
10:07 schestowitz-TR; Off wifffff their heads
10:08 Techrights-sec; ack
10:08 schestowitz-TR; remember where zemlin came from
10:08 schestowitz-TR; not a scientist
10:08 schestowitz-TR; not a coder
10:08 schestowitz-TR; a cheap marketing 'suit
10:08 schestowitz-TR; hardly even a suit
10:08 schestowitz-TR; not high level, either
10:08 schestowitz-TR; but a good liar
10:08 schestowitz-TR; they need those
10:08 schestowitz-TR; "open source loves Microsoft"
10:08 schestowitz-TR; months later github purchase green-lit
10:20 Techrights-sec; anti-trust should have kicked in the but the agencies have been more or less
10:20 Techrights-sec; defunded and, furthermore, rendered toothless
11:20 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@k5ghkuun6w7re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
13:04 schestowitz-TR; EFF increasingly a loss cause. Also a Microsoft booster.
13:04 Techrights-sec; The EFF makes really questionable choices since Barlow's death.
13:54 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
14:02 schestowitz-TR; the use of buzzwords like IoT also leaves much to be desired
14:02 schestowitz-TR; and leaves one wondering if the EFF is trult run by people
14:02 schestowitz-TR; who understand the underlying issue and what is ultimately at staker
14:02 schestowitz-TR; I will refrain from even poking "diversity" aspects of all this
14:02 schestowitz-TR; window has two elements to that
14:02 schestowitz-TR; and was part opf the end of mozilla
14:02 schestowitz-TR; using mozilla as an outpost from which to praise windows
14:02 schestowitz-TR; 'security'
