07:58 schestowitz-TR; by the person who coordinates with the people who implement the EFF coup

08:22 schestowitz-TR; topics needed, finished the ones I had in the queue

08:35 schestowitz-TR; lots of noise in irc today

08:35 schestowitz-TR; I'll focus on links etc.

09:08 matteobin; Good morning everyone. Small OT: do you know any IRC networks about Amiga?

09:10 schestowitz-TR; matteobin: maybe freenode used to have some

09:10 schestowitz-TR; I've not been keeping up with amiga

09:11 schestowitz-TR; it sort of predates my childhood's generation

09:12 matteobin; I'm writing a review on an Amiga game and I'm looking for some tech info.

09:24 Techrights-sec; Note that cryptocurrency news mostly goes under the 'energy' heading :/

09:25 schestowitz-TR; 5 or 10 years ago the hype had not yet died down

09:26 schestowitz-TR; and I think the energy consumption grew almost quarradically

09:26 schestowitz-TR; to the point where the cost of power just isn't worth the mining

09:26 schestowitz-TR; *quadratically

09:27 Techrights-sec; It was a waste of electricity from day 1

09:27 Techrights-sec; In that way, and some others, it is more like a ponzi scheme than anything

09:27 Techrights-sec; else. The transaction costs are already prohibitive so it is not viable

09:27 Techrights-sec; even for large purchases, only large speculation. That speculation has to

09:27 Techrights-sec; collapse eventually as even that too becomes unviable. So what is happening

09:28 Techrights-sec; now is that bitcoin in particular is nearing its end game and no one

09:28 Techrights-sec; who bought in with real money wants to be the one left holding the bag

09:28 schestowitz-TR; the zemlins made a killing

09:28 schestowitz-TR; nyse ipo

09:28 schestowitz-TR; to $2 in weeks or months

09:29 Techrights-sec; IPO == pump and dump, for the most part

09:29 Techrights-sec; It's when the investors and often the founders bail and give up on a "company"

09:29 Techrights-sec; when it becomes apparent that they are heading down a dead end.

09:32 schestowitz-TR; a lot of people who i know invested their money in the market or "ionvestment" (speculation) end up losing it ina way that reminds me of casinos

09:32 schestowitz-TR; they first give you a waste of gains and wins

09:32 schestowitz-TR; but then, once in a decade or so

09:32 schestowitz-TR; the BIG RAKE comes in, taking in everything

09:32 schestowitz-TR; so all those gains too get wiped out (And then some more)

09:32 schestowitz-TR; who is safe?

09:32 schestowitz-TR; insider traders and people like billg with bank accounts in bermuda, cayman, etc.

09:32 schestowitz-TR; they are insiders and outsiders to this system

09:32 schestowitz-TR; insiders when it comes to toip-off

09:32 schestowitz-TR; outsiders when it comes to the consequences

09:32 schestowitz-TR; it's a rigged gmae

09:32 schestowitz-TR; many fall for it

09:32 schestowitz-TR; many in my family too

09:32 schestowitz-TR; who "invest" their savings

09:32 schestowitz-TR; first bragging

09:32 schestowitz-TR; then comes the collapse

09:32 schestowitz-TR; then silence... they don't wish to be seen (like my friend this past year)

09:37 schestowitz-TR; mjg (who reads this) has just outed himself as transphobe

09:37 mjg59_; Not actually what I said

09:37 schestowitz-TR; I saw what you said

09:37 schestowitz-TR; you cannot un-wrtite it

09:38 mjg59_; Not disagreeing, but your discription is still inaccurate

09:47 schestowitz-TR; you were, by your own admission, an adult transphobe

09:47 schestowitz-TR; you cannot take it back

09:47 schestowitz-TR; and I will keep reminding people

09:51 schestowitz-TR; you went to oxbridge, but you are not too bright. you keep making self-incriminating statements, very tactless

09:51 mjg59_; I said stuff in the past that I regret now

09:51 mjg59_; That doesn't seem controversial

09:52 mjg59_; I've grown as a person since then

09:52 mjg59_; Are you suggesting that people can't improve?

09:56 schestowitz-TR; the Morse code joke?

09:56 schestowitz-TR; anyway, the "please kill me" type jokes (like Diskey and Lucas)

09:56 schestowitz-TR; are a subject for joke rather than anything substantial

09:59 schestowitz-TR; ok, zfs and swpats

09:59 schestowitz-TR; I know very little about those patents

09:59 schestowitz-TR; but judging by the age of sun I guess those patents might expire in a few years

09:59 schestowitz-TR; all spwats are bad

09:59 schestowitz-TR; not just the zfs ones

09:59 schestowitz-TR; epo is meanwhile trying to tuirn 2% grant rate of swpats into something like 70%

09:59 schestowitz-TR; which is outright insane

09:59 schestowitz-TR; i published an open letter related to that last night

09:59 schestowitz-TR; soon the deadline comes for compliance with ilolat ruling

09:59 schestowitz-TR; and the industrial action

09:59 schestowitz-TR; i think we need to tackle all swpats, not per patent or per product

09:59 schestowitz-TR; microsoft claimed linus infringed like 229-250 patents of microsoft alone

09:59 schestowitz-TR; without naming them

10:01 Techrights-sec; sw patents? https://itwire.com/telecoms-and-nbn/tpg-telecom-to-switch-off-3g-services-in-december-2023.html

10:01 Techrights-sec; Cook blocked ZFS in MacOS, preventing the possiblity of a universal disk format

10:01 Techrights-sec; across BSD, GNU/Linux, Windows, and Apple

10:01 Techrights-sec; Apple does not support OpenDocument Format, either.

10:01 Techrights-sec; Yes, the problem is the concept itself not individual patents. The idea that

10:01 Techrights-sec; there are only a few 'bad patents' out there is a dead end meant to ensure

10:01 Techrights-sec; that the focus is not on the source of the problem itself: the very idea of

10:01 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-iTWire - TPG Telecom to switch off 3G services in December 2023

10:01 Techrights-sec; software patents

10:02 schestowitz-TR; good luck telling that to LF-SJVN

10:02 schestowitz-TR; that Upton quote about understanding things ;-)

10:03 Techrights-sec; SJVN has become coin-operated and has been used to completely burn is once

10:03 Techrights-sec; good career and reputation.

10:03 schestowitz-TR; he is assigned 'articles' b y OIN, LOT, LF, IBM, Microsoft

10:03 schestowitz-TR; it's gross

10:03 *psydroid2 has quit (connection closed)

10:03 schestowitz-TR; even MS-OSI 2 days ago

10:03 schestowitz-TR; relaying their lies and ClearlyDefined

10:03 schestowitz-TR; brb gym

10:54 schestowitz-TR; "tweet" = someone who mistakes bots for audience and then prioritises a horse of bots over one's own platforem

10:54 schestowitz-TR; also see: twit[n.]

10:54 schestowitz-TR; *hoards

10:54 schestowitz-TR; btw, te tweet bot problem got a ALOT more severe in recent years

10:54 schestowitz-TR; it wasn't too hard to tell twitter was misreporting

10:54 schestowitz-TR; same in diaspora

10:56 Techrights-sec; Probably Musk's only positive contribution to society would be to expose

10:56 Techrights-sec; Twitter for what it is. However, that activity has not yet played out and

10:56 Techrights-sec; there is still a lot of time left on that clock.

10:56 Techrights-sec; Most likely they will find a way to settle out of court with "no admission of

10:56 Techrights-sec; wrongdoing" as the key feature.

10:56 schestowitz-TR; at "best" they will settle in or outsiode court for him NOT buying twitter and then getting some financial lump sum

10:56 schestowitz-TR; for the "trouble"

11:00 schestowitz-TR; going to post daily links shortly

11:00 schestowitz-TR; trying to see what I can cluster to make digestion more east for the ready

11:00 schestowitz-TR; *reader

11:00 schestowitz-TR; if you can suggest more topics, I'd feel more productive

11:00 Techrights-sec; If there is enough in a cluster that cluster might then be a good topic

11:00 schestowitz-TR; sometimes I stare at browser history trying to come up with ideas

11:00 schestowitz-TR; if the rss feeds and daily links don't bring up some potential topic

11:00 schestowitz-TR; it's hard when you aim to cover hundreds of topics per month

11:00 schestowitz-TR; without repetition

11:00 schestowitz-TR; and your own longterm 'reportioire' has long run out

11:00 schestowitz-TR; *perertoire

11:00 schestowitz-TR; french word

11:00 schestowitz-TR; anyway..

11:04 schestowitz-TR; I tried turning clusters into topics of artiles in 2013-2014

11:04 schestowitz-TR; I experimented with the approach of turning these into "References:"

11:04 schestowitz-TR; I can do that again in tuxmachines

11:04 schestowitz-TR; like a short summary, followed by links

11:04 schestowitz-TR; toay we have ubuntu betas

11:04 schestowitz-TR; *ubuntu betas

11:04 schestowitz-TR; all the buntus

11:04 schestowitz-TR; what else is there to say about them?

11:04 schestowitz-TR; "screew canoonical"?

11:04 schestowitz-TR; not much controibution in that

11:04 schestowitz-TR; maybe outline of recent articles on canonical and ms? maybe, but it will take work

11:14 schestowitz-TR; If I find no urgent/pressing topics, I'll dig a little more into covid-19 in the ul

11:14 schestowitz-TR; it matters everyone

11:14 schestowitz-TR; but I focus on one demography

11:14 schestowitz-TR; close to homer

11:14 schestowitz-TR; as it simplified keeping abrase of this issue

11:14 schestowitz-TR; it can be mostlyh generalised to the whole world

11:14 schestowitz-TR; same strains

11:14 schestowitz-TR; same vaccines for the most part

11:14 schestowitz-TR; similar gobv. policies

11:16 Techrights-sec; M$ vs Canonical might be useful to examine more closely

11:16 schestowitz-TR; we covered this some days ago, with video included

11:16 schestowitz-TR; re osi, i mails phipps this morning

11:16 schestowitz-TR; not too rude

11:17 schestowitz-TR; osi is shit and that's not news, not since years ago

11:17 schestowitz-TR; that many are not aware because they cenosrs and deploatform critics is something we nee to keep reminding people

11:17 schestowitz-TR; even censoring osi founders

11:17 Techrights-sec; yes but there have been some more articles and info since then

11:17 Techrights-sec; The deplaforming is effective on their part and based on lies and, at best,

11:17 Techrights-sec; distractions. Either way it serves to draw attention away from their

11:17 Techrights-sec; misbehaviors.

11:18 schestowitz-TR; this is an almost universal tactis, not oisi tactics

11:18 schestowitz-TR; LF with pandering

11:18 schestowitz-TR; and billg with straw man flooding the press

11:18 schestowitz-TR; *straw man aergs/straw men

11:19 Techrights-sec; Correct, but it is highly inappropriate for OSI to also engage in such tactics.

11:19 Techrights-sec; The very participation can be taken as a result of a change in control over

11:19 schestowitz-TR; now eff also, don't want to waste your time with irc scrollbacks

11:21 schestowitz-TR; sometimes you wonder what the "full" story on PJ might be

11:22 schestowitz-TR; I never heard of sometone quitting one's own site on the HIGH

11:22 schestowitz-TR; over the - GASP - discovery that email is not private

11:22 schestowitz-TR; as if that was news after binney and others

11:22 schestowitz-TR; I even caustioned my uncle in LF (you know who) 20 years ago

11:22 schestowitz-TR; that email is not secure and I don't want to speak about everything

11:22 schestowitz-TR; in email

11:23 schestowitz-TR; apropos email and 20 years, you could find emails from 20 years ago where mjg might be saying some truly vicious things about the people

11:23 schestowitz-TR; he now claimed to represent or 'farm' in twitter

11:27 Techrights-sec; Probably. Though the search engines intentionlly do poorly with older material

11:28 schestowitz-TR; anyway, Mr.Masculine(TM) turning into a phony does not surprise me

11:31 Techrights-sec; destroying the security of desktops. Server environments are destroyed as well

11:31 Techrights-sec; through the presence of a mere handful of M$ products. So the smoke and noise

11:31 Techrights-sec; has to drum up animosity against Huawei (rightly so) but (wrongly so) as

11:39 schestowitz-TR; microsoft: we'll TAKE it !!

11:43 Techrights-sec; M$ LinkedIn manipulated its service so as to hinder people from getting jobs

11:44 schestowitz-TR; said to me that he sounded legit

11:44 schestowitz-TR; in linkedin ;-)

11:52 schestowitz-TR; I still remember this

11:52 schestowitz-TR; I was saying to myself in the head, not aloud,. just moments ago

11:52 schestowitz-TR; that in sport you end the career by expressing any view other than about sport (even then you need to be careful)

11:52 schestowitz-TR; so we end up with football clubs owned by House of Saud, Qatar, Dubai (here)

11:52 schestowitz-TR; and nobody, esp. in showbiz, can say something

11:52 schestowitz-TR; but wait, those are NOT the same

11:52 schestowitz-TR; you see, if you are strong and fast, they cannot deny you access to competition

11:52 schestowitz-TR; with 'slow-skilled' so-called 'singers' and 'dancers' (crap, all about the age and lools)

11:52 schestowitz-TR; you become super-disposable

12:09 Techrights-sec; specifically cheap gasoline at the pump; the populace has been trained to

12:09 Techrights-sec; vote in specific ways depending on the relative price on the week of the

12:09 Techrights-sec; election

12:10 schestowitz-TR; lol, yeah...

12:10 schestowitz-TR; btw, I got some related stories today on github

12:10 schestowitz-TR; I keep them in a file about 4000 lines long

12:10 schestowitz-TR; github will still be around for years

12:10 schestowitz-TR; de icaza and friedman are in their 40s

12:10 Techrights-sec; Rats. I was hoping GitHub the disservice would go under shortly after m$ took

12:10 Techrights-sec; it away.

12:11 schestowitz-TR; [task/topic] find out RELATIVE market share of github

12:11 schestowitz-TR; tried before, got stuck, info vacuum

12:12 Techrights-sec; For that'd you'd need to know srtc.ht, gitlab, gitea, and the others

12:14 Techrights-sec; For that'd you'd need to know srtc.ht, gitlab, gitea, and the others down to

12:14 Techrights-sec; sourceforge and bitbucket. Yes, and there is raw Git which is best of all.

12:14 Techrights-sec; Fossil is worth looking more closely at.

12:15 Techrights-sec; Fossil is worh looking more closely at:

12:15 Techrights-sec; https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

12:15 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.fossil-scm.org | Fossil: Home

12:17 schestowitz-TR; no, those don't tell you about prevate installs

12:17 schestowitz-TR; and they don't track them

12:17 schestowitz-TR; and raw git

12:17 schestowitz-TR; the other day I read that market cap of gitlab (fake) was higher than what microsoft bought shithub fore

12:17 schestowitz-TR; but iirc gitlab LOSES money

12:17 schestowitz-TR; then again, so did github

12:17 schestowitz-TR; wallstyreet: publicly-traded loss leaders

12:17 schestowitz-TR; and GAFAM as 20% of S&P '500'

12:18 schestowitz-TR; fwiw, the clipboard stuck is even more buggy in librewolf

12:18 schestowitz-TR; they don't compile it 'correctly'

12:18 schestowitz-TR; reproeduced on two Debian machines

12:18 schestowitz-TR; but same flatpak file

12:56 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

13:06 schestowitz-TR; this 'hatchet job' is a dead end

13:06 schestowitz-TR; hence lawyers

13:06 schestowitz-TR; i am going through daily links

13:06 schestowitz-TR; still asking myself, can this be a topic?

13:06 schestowitz-TR; a lot of the time it's.... we covered this a lot already

13:14 Techrights-sec; Yes, most things have been covered already at one point or another in the

13:14 Techrights-sec; past but often there is a new aspect or a new contet in which the article

13:14 Techrights-sec; fits in the furtherance of software freedom.

13:17 schestowitz-TR; the new aspects (e.g. sourceware/lf/sfc) is what I look for

13:17 schestowitz-TR; it's still not very clear to me if the fsf just fakes being 'ok' with it

13:17 schestowitz-TR; after they lost the battle

13:17 schestowitz-TR; and don't want to further piss off the fake "g.n.u." (not) 'contributors (ibm staff)

13:17 schestowitz-TR; zoe wrote that message via ian (fsf staff/sys admin)

13:17 schestowitz-TR; but I doiubt zoe wrote it

13:17 schestowitz-TR; they just use her blonde id for pr bombsheltering

13:17 schestowitz-TR; most m likely composed by heie legal team or even the voting members/board

13:19 schestowitz-TR; lol! remember when sfc's karen moaned about lf board and vmware, then did a fund-raider for sfc

13:19 schestowitz-TR; with double the contrib etc. (who matched the donations??? never said...)

13:19 schestowitz-TR; and after getting all those donations they pay her over $200k a year

13:19 schestowitz-TR; like she needs that much

13:19 schestowitz-TR; while she brands hersefle pro bono

13:19 schestowitz-TR; vis a vis, eff sits on a mountain of cash

13:19 schestowitz-TR; man eff members paid for it

13:19 schestowitz-TR; vis-a-vis eff, lf had taken % from people's CC spendings

13:19 schestowitz-TR; for a f*ing pengiun piece of plastic

13:19 schestowitz-TR; that they now shit on

13:20 schestowitz-TR; go see linux.com

13:20 schestowitz-TR; what became of it

13:20 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Antitrust... and EFF not disclosing that it TOOK MONEY from Gulag https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/09/google-loses-appeal-against-eus-record-antitrust-fine-will-big-tech-ever-change | Source: EFF

13:20 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.eff.org | Google Loses Appeal Against EU's Record Antitrust fine, But Will Big Tech Ever Change? | Electronic Frontier Foundation

13:21 Techrights-sec; Yes, as mentioned, elimination of the first the brand's reputation and then

13:21 Techrights-sec; the brand itself seem to be a major goal of the gang now controlling it.

13:25 Techrights-sec; Zero-day is nowadays merely a marketing term. M$ has been using the presst

13:25 Techrights-sec; to distract from its own bad design and faulty implementations. Very few

13:25 Techrights-sec; cover incidents like this:

13:25 Techrights-sec; https://itwire.com/business-it-news/security/microsoft-investigating-two-zero-days-affecting-exchange-server.html

13:25 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-iTWire - Microsoft investigating two zero-days affecting Exchange Server

13:25 schestowitz-TR; they will blamne the attacked/exploiter in the headline

13:25 schestowitz-TR; "Russia/China/Iran targets [some] server"

13:25 schestowitz-TR; usually not even the brand

13:25 schestowitz-TR; CISA does this all the time

13:26 schestowitz-TR; as if server is a generic thing, that's just there...

13:26 schestowitz-TR; as if connecting with wrong u/p combination is already an "attack"

13:27 Techrights-sec; And even then it is usually only use as an introduction to pushing "cloud"

13:27 Techrights-sec; substitutes for self-hosting. Using M$ is bad enough on its own but

13:27 Techrights-sec; offloading it to "cloud" is 10x dumber.

13:27 Techrights-sec; Againg there it is, the conflation of "target" with successful breach.

13:27 Techrights-sec; Of course with M$ they are the same but that is not true of proper server

13:27 Techrights-sec; operating systems and the wording is designed to steer people away from

13:27 Techrights-sec; realising or finding out about that.

13:27 Techrights-sec; CISA is effectively just a lobbying arm of M$, should be disbanded.

13:28 schestowitz-TR; i've observed cisa more closely since admfubar send me their rss feeds

13:28 schestowitz-TR; i think they got compromised

13:28 schestowitz-TR; if not since day 1

13:28 schestowitz-TR; nsa is VERY close to cisa

13:28 schestowitz-TR; it's not easy to tell the difference, except the FORMAL function

13:28 schestowitz-TR; then there are CERT and others

13:29 Techrights-sec; It is very apparent that they are badly compromised and working against

13:29 Techrights-sec; national security, preventing it from the inside and preventing it from even

13:29 Techrights-sec; being discussed. This might not be an issue if campagin finance reform had

13:29 Techrights-sec; been discussed or otherwise addressed in 2016. Thanks, again, Hillary.

13:29 Techrights-sec; and the DNC

13:29 Techrights-sec; ^s/the/her/

13:31 schestowitz-TR; we have cert uk and I think india has just formed its own

13:31 schestowitz-TR; with their cvs monopolies

13:31 schestowitz-TR; and other seriouis technical drawbacks

13:31 schestowitz-TR; too many "security" gurus are like the trolls who pick on braxxman

13:31 schestowitz-TR; huffing and puffing with nothign to show for it

13:31 schestowitz-TR; just buzzwords

13:31 schestowitz-TR; one 'security' poser saw some .pl files and went, THERE!! BAD! PERLLLLLLL! PURLLLL!

13:31 schestowitz-TR; probably cannot even read the code

13:33 Techrights-sec; NSA certainly prefers that *all* computers become vulnerable to remote access

13:33 Techrights-sec; exploits in place of *any* at all being sound and stable.

13:33 Techrights-sec; There are so few actual security experts compared to the legions of m$ resellers

13:33 Techrights-sec; posing as computer or, worse, computer security experts.

13:33 Techrights-sec; Again back to the Huawei stuff, the public has been primed to be aware of the

13:33 Techrights-sec; network and in particular to be suspicious of CCP controlled entitites like

13:33 Techrights-sec; Huawei. But at the same time they have been trained to not see m$ as

13:33 Techrights-sec; in and of itself a hostile foreign entitity collaborating with but outside

13:33 Techrights-sec; the control of the US government.

13:33 schestowitz-TR; hence i posted several old snowden stories about Microsoft

13:33 schestowitz-TR; just to remind people

13:33 schestowitz-TR; I think shirt enought to qualify as fair use

13:33 schestowitz-TR; also due to age

13:35 Techrights-sec; author + 90 years

13:35 Techrights-sec; or whatever

13:35 Techrights-sec; Recall the MWL post about how copyright maximalists write off assets by keeping

13:35 Techrights-sec; them out of circulation after jacking up the claimed value. Also recall the

13:35 Techrights-sec; PP script to bankrupt the copyright maximalists by copying (and then in the

13:35 Techrights-sec; same move deleting) files from the net. That was a play on them exaggerating

13:35 Techrights-sec; the market price of files.

13:37 schestowitz-TR; PP was destroyed (except in one small country) like WikiLeaks

13:37 schestowitz-TR; using a mixture of weapons

13:37 schestowitz-TR; it's worth studying and undersstanding those

13:37 schestowitz-TR; also EFF and FSF

13:37 schestowitz-TR; there is not one single method, it's hybrid

13:37 schestowitz-TR; but it typically starts with giving one wrong person control

13:37 schestowitz-TR; after some pleading or blackmail

13:37 schestowitz-TR; thyen come the X Y Z types

13:37 Techrights-sec; Can't find the script.

13:37 Techrights-sec; Yes, it was destroyed in all but name.

13:42 schestowitz-TR; maybe next summer it''l be (nuclear) winter

13:42 schestowitz-TR; 9 months is a very long time

13:54 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell

14:04 schestowitz-TR; i'm ok-ish with it as I am not too tired and lack topics for now

14:04 schestowitz-TR; also off work after several nights on shift

14:04 schestowitz-TR; they had us delete like 150k moodle users

14:05 schestowitz-TR; the transphobe lost his tongue some hours ago

14:05 schestowitz-TR; incommunicado

14:05 schestowitz-TR; afraid of what we might say next

14:06 schestowitz-TR; yes, correct, he also wants me to ban gays

14:06 schestowitz-TR; and not accept articles from them

14:06 schestowitz-TR; even ones abused (beaten up) as kids

14:12 schestowitz-TR; been a while since he last helped Microsoft with cancelrms

14:12 Techrights-sec; CISA's causing this damage to go on and on and on by covering for bill

14:16 schestowitz-TR; two options (i think):

14:16 schestowitz-TR; 1) cisa's and mirosoft's country becomes increasingfly obsolete

14:16 schestowitz-TR; 2) we replace both someone

14:16 schestowitz-TR; but like compromised orgs i think the ship will need to go down with the occupiers

14:16 schestowitz-TR; rianne thinks I should teach some day in the local (nearby) uniu

14:16 schestowitz-TR; like, if I left my job

14:16 schestowitz-TR; i tell her the unis became like companies

14:16 schestowitz-TR; she got her cs degree before I did

14:16 schestowitz-TR; they studied algebra and stuff, I wonder if discrete maths still get taught or just memorising guis and brands

14:16 schestowitz-TR; not for productivity [sic] s/w but development tools

14:16 schestowitz-TR; in my days they taught us dbs, yacc, lex, unix programs

14:16 schestowitz-TR; *gdb also

14:16 schestowitz-TR; it felt like they taught concepts, networking also

14:16 schestowitz-TR; SQL, not any particular product

14:16 schestowitz-TR; and some alternatives to SQL

14:16 schestowitz-TR; prof. paton was a really famous db guru

14:18 Techrights-sec; m$ is not part of any country though it does steer many governments tightly

14:18 Techrights-sec; most universities have become half-assed trade schools and anything related

14:18 Techrights-sec; to ICT has become third rate m$ reselling

14:18 Techrights-sec; No theory is taught or, worse, applied. Right.

14:18 Techrights-sec; One place, *all* the applied CS faculty insisted on having *two* implementations

14:18 Techrights-sec; of any given technology for the students to use and do *all* the assignments

14:18 Techrights-sec; in both. That way they had a better chance of understanding the concepts

14:18 Techrights-sec; rather than just orienting to a specific vendor's package of the month.

14:18 Techrights-sec; Those faculty, or at least their requirements, are long gone.

14:18 Techrights-sec; Now there and everywhere I've tracked, the second tier m$ resellers embedded

14:18 Techrights-sec; on the payroll are calling all the shots from the teaching tools to the topics

14:18 Techrights-sec; taught, in painful detail.

14:19 Techrights-sec; and not just for ICT

14:25 schestowitz-TR; my lecturers were unix people

14:25 schestowitz-TR; my phd supervisor a microsofter

14:25 schestowitz-TR; but he tolerated my choice of tools and platform

14:25 schestowitz-TR; he had not programmed in decades

14:25 schestowitz-TR; one student of his killed himself just months or a month after I started the programme

14:25 schestowitz-TR; gareth jones

14:25 schestowitz-TR; i never had the chance to even meet him in person

14:25 schestowitz-TR; other students also complained about harsh standards

14:25 schestowitz-TR; several left

14:25 schestowitz-TR; some did finish

14:25 schestowitz-TR; i am, loooking back at least, a bit cynical about what phd students are to unis

14:25 schestowitz-TR; one or two fellow phd students were funded by pharma companies like astrazeneza

14:25 schestowitz-TR; I got my funding from European Union

14:25 schestowitz-TR; but we all still paid for our own time, food, accomodation

14:25 schestowitz-TR; the "tution" fees... what for? a DESK?

14:25 schestowitz-TR; the rare travel?

14:25 schestowitz-TR; library subscription?

14:27 Techrights-sec; The library subscription used to have role-based access. Now it is tied

14:27 Techrights-sec; to IPv4 addresses and VPNs and other useless boondoggles have been tacked

14:27 Techrights-sec; on, so as to limit MacOS access and prevent BSD + GNU/Linux access

14:31 schestowitz-TR; i think vpn clients have matured since we were last there

14:31 schestowitz-TR; but at work we are asked to use many vpns

14:31 schestowitz-TR; some have barely a client for gnu/linuix, at besta topken one that does not work

14:31 schestowitz-TR; and is niot maintained, tgested etc.

14:31 schestowitz-TR; so you end up haing to hop through some desktop opn the clown

14:31 schestowitz-TR; and so vpn becomes more of a gatewar thing

14:31 schestowitz-TR; access to server slimited to that gateway

14:31 schestowitz-TR; and access to gateway is sometimes von-limited

14:31 schestowitz-TR; or key-based

14:31 schestowitz-TR; with GE (not a client anymore) they did this with WINDOWS VISTA

14:31 schestowitz-TR; maybe still are

14:31 schestowitz-TR; and put some proprietary piece of crap on it to manage connection over putty

14:31 schestowitz-TR; to debian boxes

14:31 schestowitz-TR; the proprietary crap was like $300/year licence

14:31 schestowitz-TR; and did nothing more then a typical rdesktop/vnc client

14:31 schestowitz-TR; the annual cost (to us) was like a new PC every year, or several Visata licences

14:31 schestowitz-TR; but don't worry, GE is a "Respectable" company

14:31 schestowitz-TR; they know what they'r edoing!

14:31 schestowitz-TR; my sister works in GE and always makes fun about how crap they are at IT

14:35 schestowitz-TR; today I heard something similar about Alex Graveley

14:35 schestowitz-TR; the mental crises are decades old

14:35 schestowitz-TR; and watch the people who impelemented the 2021 coup

14:35 schestowitz-TR; maybe they should allocate one state to be the nation's mental asylum

14:37 schestowitz-TR; tons of debt, foreclosurea, and MULTIPLE jobs can be reconciled by "medicating"

14:37 schestowitz-TR; with no long-term plan, such as weaning people off the addicition

14:37 schestowitz-TR; our joint friend contemplated suicide just over a decade agol

14:38 schestowitz-TR; he was healthy, but in debt

14:38 schestowitz-TR; well educated, but trapped

14:38 Techrights-sec; It's thus a *massive* step down from the capabilities that were nearly

14:38 Techrights-sec; ubiquitous by the mid-1990s :(

14:40 Techrights-sec; Yep medicating people in response to untenable lives. Debt, shit jobs, medical

14:40 Techrights-sec; problems, dreadful society, etc

14:42 schestowitz-TR; living beyond one's mean to impress or keep up with other people is how capitalism extends its lifetime

14:42 schestowitz-TR; adding personal debt to the national debtr, hoping for a miracle

14:42 schestowitz-TR; rather than hyper-inflation due to scarece resources and concentration of capital

14:42 schestowitz-TR; we chose a more modest way, which pays off

14:42 schestowitz-TR; when you already have two cars and two kids you cannot easily "cut down" on the

14:42 schestowitz-TR; maintenance overheads

14:43 Techrights-sec; Much of the hours in the work week end up going to paying car-related expenses.

14:43 Techrights-sec; eu.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2022/08/18/owning-car-cost-more-expensive/10349454002/

14:46 schestowitz-TR; cats are cheaper than cars and last longer

14:46 schestowitz-TR; esp. compared to "modern" cars

14:46 schestowitz-TR; also, vets who don't rip you off are cheaper than one garage visit

14:46 schestowitz-TR; and cats don't come with a log

14:46 schestowitz-TR; so you can shop around many vets

14:46 schestowitz-TR; it's not a monopoly

14:46 schestowitz-TR; rianne works with the nighbour's cats in the garden (this morning also)

14:46 schestowitz-TR; so no costs associated

14:46 schestowitz-TR; the canal trust looked after birds like geese, who are doing mostly fine on their own

14:47 Techrights-sec; Though I am surprised it is still so low. And better for the health.

14:47 Techrights-sec; Modern cars are a proprietary trap and over the product generations, the

14:47 Techrights-sec; vendors are slowly closing the gate on the corral.

14:47 Techrights-sec; Cats *love* to see people work with their hands and be around them while they

14:47 Techrights-sec; garden especially.

14:48 schestowitz-TR; my coffee becomes soil

14:48 schestowitz-TR; so there is a good cycle of recycling

14:48 schestowitz-TR; still going through links btw, not seeing Big Stories yet

14:48 schestowitz-TR; and Fridays are slow

14:50 Techrights-sec; Some plants prefer occasional coffee grounds, others must avoid them.

14:50 Techrights-sec; Fridays through Tuesday mornings are slow. News is only slightly active

14:50 Techrights-sec; from Tuesday afternoon through Thursday night. I guess the staffing has bee

14:50 Techrights-sec; been cut so far back, those are the only times writing comes out of the pipeline

14:54 schestowitz-TR; yesterday I checked zdnet --> linux

14:54 schestowitz-TR; as noted in irc

14:54 schestowitz-TR; no stories in 7+ days

14:54 schestowitz-TR; VERY unusual

14:54 schestowitz-TR; maybe now it's 8+ days

14:54 schestowitz-TR; if it gets to 10 I'll do a quick post

14:54 schestowitz-TR; there is no holiday

14:54 schestowitz-TR; jst election

14:54 schestowitz-TR; we have holidays for banks

14:54 schestowitz-TR; not for voting

14:54 schestowitz-TR; banks >> election

14:54 schestowitz-TR; regarding reporting cycle

14:54 schestowitz-TR; I worked for datamation for a while

14:54 schestowitz-TR; the editor controls the publication

14:54 schestowitz-TR; or has the final work, click, headline change

14:54 schestowitz-TR; so one possibility is

14:54 schestowitz-TR; the "writers" (like SJVN) are paid like casualy workers

14:54 schestowitz-TR; and the editors are part-timers

14:54 schestowitz-TR; so they line up the input and then on tuesday process the queue

14:54 schestowitz-TR; in zdnet it's larry 'microsoft' dignan

14:54 schestowitz-TR; who fired danablankenhorn in an unfaiur fashion

14:54 schestowitz-TR; sometimes about dana writing about something not even foss relate

14:54 schestowitz-TR; and could not prove it

14:54 schestowitz-TR; dana never recovered

14:54 schestowitz-TR; and maybe the goal was to shut down paula and dana, who were doing lots of foss coverage there

14:54 schestowitz-TR; paula vanished entirely after that

14:54 schestowitz-TR; (by larry dignan, dana even named him)

14:54 schestowitz-TR; larry now does podcasts about microsoft

14:55 schestowitz-TR; and raises money from them

14:55 schestowitz-TR; ah, i recall the full name now: paula rooney

14:55 schestowitz-TR; you can search that in techrights for more info I cannot recall anymore

14:57 Techrights-sec; Yes that work flow has become painfully obvious along with the observation

14:57 Techrights-sec; that there is an absolutely skeletal crew barely giving the appearance of

14:57 Techrights-sec; a publication. The publication output is not even full-time any more.

15:00 schestowitz-TR; full-time working -> work security -> journalistic independence
