1 PM, May 30

13:00 Techrights-sec; just checked the news, there was virtually nothing

13:00 Techrights-sec; after looking at many, many sites

13:09 schestowitz-TR; the timing you typed this is funny because rianne told me 1 min ago that she had checked the news twice

13:09 schestowitz-TR; and "there is nothing"

13:09 schestowitz-TR; I'd left that aside to do "deeper" research, such as the photo ops [sic] I extracted from a long video

13:10 schestowitz-TR; those will come in handy later

13:10 schestowitz-TR; there's always *soemthing* to write about, but it's not immediately there and might be in the past

13:10 Techrights-sec; well, today, there is basically no coverage of anything tech anywhere

13:10 Techrights-sec; that I can find, I've checked a *large* number of the usual (and some unusual)

13:10 Techrights-sec; sites

13:10 schestowitz-TR; same here

13:12 Techrights-sec; I check mastodon weekly, though without an account, but that is always such

13:12 Techrights-sec; a low yield that the next check is not due until the weekend

13:12 schestowitz-TR; ask yourself if:

13:12 schestowitz-TR; - had you not checked it, you would have missed something very important

13:12 schestowitz-TR; - if time unix x in mastodon was more constructive than the same time unit reading rss feeds

13:14 Techrights-sec; no, there is rarely anything important but more occasionally something

13:14 Techrights-sec; interesting. however the yield is so damn low that it is more of a chore

13:14 Techrights-sec; to even think about mastodon

13:14 Techrights-sec; RSS feeds are good, but take a *lot* of time to go through. I'm not sure how

13:14 Techrights-sec; many blog feeds I have but it is quite a lot, then there are more regular

13:14 Techrights-sec; news sources via RSS as well. I'll check those tomorrow or the day after.

13:14 Techrights-sec; It takes a few days for worthwile links to build up there and I just checked

13:14 Techrights-sec; thoroughly the other day.

13:14 schestowitz-TR; I have tricks for reading rss feeds since ages ago

13:14 schestowitz-TR; you let them build up, then cluster baased on site, date, or key filter

13:14 schestowitz-TR; makes them easier to group and digest

13:14 Techrights-sec; Yes similar to my method.

13:31 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

13:36 Techrights-sec; the general ones are bit harder and though many of the blogs follow theme

13:36 Techrights-sec; or reasonably narrow interests, they still take a lot of time to cull

13:36 Techrights-sec; If I could master the GUI component of Python, I could probably write

13:36 Techrights-sec; a reasonabel RSS/Atom feed reader by now.

13:36 schestowitz-TR; in the cli some heuristics would be easy

13:36 schestowitz-TR; not sure about the gui stuff

13:37 Techrights-sec; not sure, sometimes the most interesting material is lacking in the expected

13:37 Techrights-sec; terms, phrases, and keywords.

13:42 schestowitz-TR; draft

13:42 schestowitz-TR; having a go at the "FOK YUS" (focus) president

13:42 schestowitz-TR; you need to click on the link that says "context"

13:43 Techrights-sec; ack

13:43 Techrights-sec; not sure the car crash material is relevant unless a direct tie to showing

13:43 Techrights-sec; how diplomatic immunity was abused or how alcohol was involved

13:43 Techrights-sec; the text needs to stand on its own and the link be supplemental.

13:43 Techrights-sec; Remember that some of the best audience is via Gemini

13:44 schestowitz-TR; what the meme says is not really a joke

13:44 schestowitz-TR; it is factual

13:44 Techrights-sec; yes, that can be emphasized then, because too often the "memes" are jokes and

13:44 Techrights-sec; not serious

13:48 schestowitz-TR; right, amending..

13:48 schestowitz-TR; (btw, it's common knowledge in EPO... the story about the son)

13:48 schestowitz-TR; from what I am hearing, campinos is already done for the count because he's not supported by EPO "users"

13:48 schestowitz-TR; (never mind 'his' staff)

13:48 schestowitz-TR; we need to drain this whole "swamp"

13:48 schestowitz-TR; but it'll take huge effort and coordination

13:48 schestowitz-TR; then, upc too would go away faster

13:48 schestowitz-TR; (along with swpats hey hi 4ir bs)

13:51 schestowitz-TR; question: can we do some so-called 'data science' around death asnd dreath of the news

13:51 schestowitz-TR; like, based on "Links" or some archives on your PC?

13:51 schestowitz-TR; That in itself would be an interesting topic re the WWW

13:51 schestowitz-TR; somethign numeric rather than guy feeling

13:51 schestowitz-TR; *gut

13:52 Techrights-sec; I'm not sure how we can extract relevant material from the strings which make

13:52 Techrights-sec; up the web pages linked to

13:52 schestowitz-TR; about 12 years ago I used thunderbird archives to show the depletition of news about "Ubuntu"

13:52 schestowitz-TR; when the distro was losing its relevance

13:52 schestowitz-TR; or maybe just the media


3 PM, May 30

15:08 schestowitz-TR; ota epo

15:08 schestowitz-TR; done

15:08 schestowitz-TR; I basically expand upon the EPO posts that are mostly photos and memes

15:08 schestowitz-TR; I expect us to have lots of material soon

15:08 schestowitz-TR; and it can drive the orange one off the edge

15:08 schestowitz-TR; they have meeting in 4 weeks

15:09 schestowitz-TR; to decide whether to replace him

15:18 Techrights-sec; ack

15:18 Techrights-sec; I hope he is replaced but the nepotism and corruption must be also fixed at

15:18 Techrights-sec; the same time or the series of clowns will continue

15:18 schestowitz-TR; they will try hard to cover up what happened the past 12 years

15:18 schestowitz-TR; because so many are complicity at several levels

4 PM, May 30

16:06 Techrights-sec; ack

16:11 schestowitz-TR; after the video is ready I will

16:11 schestowitz-TR; push out the meme now in drafts

16:11 schestowitz-TR; I want to remind those who decide that they can and should replace him

16:11 schestowitz-TR; just added the text of the video as well

16:11 schestowitz-TR; we have a real opportunity to make profound change

16:12 Techrights-sec; ack

6 PM, May 30

18:03 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Both Biden and Trump have been bailing out Microsoft with obscene military ("defence") contracts and the partisan media hardly talks about it. How much the next round of bailout? 30+ billion?

18:04 Techrights-sec; ack

18:04 Techrights-sec; M$ decrease by 1% down to %3 out of all sites.

18:04 Techrights-sec; HOlding at 3% for active sites

18:04 Techrights-sec; I'm still surprise it is even that high.

18:07 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft-sponsored media says Microsoft-sponsored Linux FUD https://www.csoonline.com/article/3662151/linux-malware-is-on-the-rise-6-types-of-attacks-to-look-for.html the real issue is Windows, not "Linux" http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Microsoft_and_the_NSA

18:12 Techrights-sec; or arrested for deploying M$ in production environments

18:15 schestowitz-TR; everyone gets tired for deploying MS

18:15 schestowitz-TR; nobody gets hired for deploying MS

18:15 schestowitz-TR; nowadays you get fired for it

18:15 schestowitz-TR; and in some US states the firing line is back as an option for capital punishment

18:44 schestowitz-TR; this is what the client/society/audience wants and can offer

18:45 schestowitz-TR; the platform can be as good as the target "base"

18:45 schestowitz-TR; like people who do livestreams of mass murders

18:45 schestowitz-TR; news very slow todayr

18:45 schestowitz-TR; rianne too has found almost nothing

18:45 schestowitz-TR; I will tidy up the "office" a bit, for health reasons mostly
