05:10 schestowitz-TR; lol

05:10 schestowitz-TR; clearing me mail spam at the moment

05:10 schestowitz-TR; there is a new name for spammer now

05:10 schestowitz-TR; "media strategist"

05:10 schestowitz-TR; "what do you do for a living?"

05:10 schestowitz-TR; "I'm media strategist. i spam thousands of random people, looking for a fool to "generate" "content"..."

05:10 Techrightssec; Spammers by any other name ...

05:16 schestowitz-TR; my spam prevention strategy still evolve

05:16 schestowitz-TR; bulk deletition after piliing up

05:16 schestowitz-TR; sort by name and subject line for better clustering

05:16 schestowitz-TR; now I eliminate all the "orphans"

05:16 schestowitz-TR; which stakes longer

05:16 schestowitz-TR; going through spam and actually checking to verify it's spam is mentally tiring

05:16 schestowitz-TR; as you have to at least glance at a bunch of crap disguised as info or comms

05:16 schestowitz-TR; better done in bulk, then break

05:20 schestowitz-TR; done now

05:20 schestowitz-TR; for irc kkkops the task is different

05:20 schestowitz-TR; like dealing with truly disgusting people

05:20 schestowitz-TR; and then the fits they throw

05:20 schestowitz-TR; in social control media many suffer from ptsd

05:20 schestowitz-TR; having to watch illegal things all day long

05:20 schestowitz-TR; daemonfc says that twitter now had a serious CP problem

05:20 schestowitz-TR; maybe that helps explain the nitter situation

05:20 schestowitz-TR; maybe some people used it to evade detection

05:21 Techrightssec; Many don't do that and thus lose lots of relevant mail. On one service,

05:21 Techrightssec; it seems that many accounts /always/ go into spam even though they are not.

05:21 Techrightssec; The "algorithm" never learns.

05:22 schestowitz-TR; re email, initially it's good to filter based on sender's name

05:22 schestowitz-TR; in my case, familitarity helps, but for some people and biz the senders are many random people

05:22 schestowitz-TR; so they cannot use that as a strong criterion

05:27 schestowitz-TR; i started drafting some stuff about china and twitter

05:27 schestowitz-TR; still nowhere near enough for article

05:27 schestowitz-TR; I'll look for related stuff

09:32 starstreak; gemini kinda sucks

09:32 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

09:33 starstreak; the protocol itself is fine but most sites its like tl;dr

09:33 starstreak; i don't browse the web to read essays

09:35 starstreak; thats a problem with the mastadon based fediverse too

09:35 starstreak; there is no character limit so some people post long ass essay style rants

09:35 starstreak; TL;DR!!!!

09:56 psydruid; the goal of the web is to have as little text and as many videos and ads as possible

09:56 psydruid; essays are the devil


10 AM, November 30

10:22 schestowitz-TR; true

10:22 schestowitz-TR; I like some essays

10:22 schestowitz-TR; like people who write about getting infected

10:22 schestowitz-TR; not scripted informercials about vaccines


11 AM, November 30

11:01 starstreak; people need to learn how to write succinctly

11:02 starstreak; it often takes people forever to get to the point

11:02 starstreak; i dont care about their life story if im clicking an article on a specific topic

11:03 starstreak; im also autistic and i learn better through audio and visuals, so maybe its just me

11:04 starstreak; i can't stand reading books, i gotta have audiobooks

11:08 starstreak; in paralegal school, i got a B+ average and i never read much of the textbooks

11:09 starstreak; in court documents you can usually skip to the bottom to find the decision maker making a summary

11:09 starstreak; instead of on the top for science research articles

11:10 schestowitz-TR; but you must examine the lgal basis

11:10 schestowitz-TR; before rushing to the decision

11:10 schestowitz-TR; or methods

11:10 schestowitz-TR; before conclusions

11:10 schestowitz-TR; abstracts are just there as a tl;dr

11:10 schestowitz-TR; or a teaser

11:10 schestowitz-TR; concision is OK

11:10 schestowitz-TR; but a body of evidence is importance

11:10 schestowitz-TR; *of importance

11:14 starstreak; the decision maker (like a judge or adjudicator) will explain the methods and how the law applies in the decision section of a legal document

11:18 psydruid; shouldn't text-to-speech engines be able to read you essays?

11:31 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@w724a2s443yca.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

11:31 starstreak; yeah

11:31 starstreak; i haven't gone that far because i skim for the important info and don't bother with the rest

11:32 starstreak; i have a gemini capsule myself and my articles are pretty short

11:33 starstreak; i only have 1 long one

11:33 starstreak; gemini://cerberusinvestigations.darkcloud.ca/

↺ gemini://cerberusinvestigations.darkcloud.ca/

11:34 starstreak; if you have lagrange, you can click the image links and they'll be shown inline

11:34 starstreak; which gives you the option on whether or not to load an image

13:07 schestowitz-TR; Massachusetts: we GIVE PRIVATE COMPANIES patents on research FUNDED BY THE PUBLIC. Then we give taxpayers' money to those companies for patent licences. Then, we take taxpayers' money and give it back to taxpayers if they create "demand" for these unjust patents. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=EaSU2mfNrIg

13:10 schestowitz-TR; ars is funded by microsoft (the uk founded by it, "ars uk")

13:10 schestowitz-TR; conde nast does what brings money

13:10 schestowitz-TR; "founded" is not a typo

13:10 schestowitz-TR; sebastian the editor told me when confronted over the microsoft bias

13:10 schestowitz-TR; so they spin off 'news' sites for marketing

13:32 schestowitz-TR; if you want to dig deepr, look up joe mullin

13:32 schestowitz-TR; he used to have his won blog, then ars (we spoke on the phone once), then eff

13:32 schestowitz-TR; in eff he used to write about spwats and trolls, as he had done for a decade or so

13:32 schestowitz-TR; now I never ever see his name

13:32 schestowitz-TR; the eff site still listed him when I did a long video about the eff

13:32 schestowitz-TR; but maybe he's there as token person, trophy, skeleton crew


2 PM, November 30

14:10 Techrightssec; There are a few others, whom I've also forgotten

14:10 Techrightssec; He's probably considered legacy by the microsofters occupying the EFF

14:12 schestowitz-TR; vera vanished

14:12 schestowitz-TR; daniel nazer moved to mozilla (maybe no longer there)

14:12 schestowitz-TR; alex vanished

14:12 schestowitz-TR; maybe moved to another patent-centric lobby like engine

14:12 schestowitz-TR; I've not seen them for ages

14:12 schestowitz-TR; they had matt levy there years ago

14:12 schestowitz-TR; he had worked for ccia (patentprogress) because josh landau took over

14:12 schestowitz-TR; he almost begged mte to remove mention that his wife worked for uspto

14:12 schestowitz-TR; maybe he got sacked over it
