07:56 schestowitz-TR; 0/
07:56 schestowitz-TR; correction to aticle: Microsoft ADMITS to not be hiring
07:56 schestowitz-TR; in the same vein: Facebook ADMITS number of active users down
07:56 schestowitz-TR; those are significant
08:00 Techrights-sec; ack
08:00 Techrights-sec; next M$ needs to admit that they have been firing in droves
08:00 Techrights-sec; however, they have been (ab)using temps, permatemps, and consultants to hide
08:00 Techrights-sec; that
08:01 Techrights-sec; to be fair, not only Microsoft does this
08:01 Techrights-sec; but it seems more notorious when it comes to that
08:01 Techrights-sec; based on reporting I saw when journalist still existed about 12 years ago
08:01 Techrights-sec; we nee dto keep pushing until the company is extinct like Unisys
08:01 schestowitz-TR; to be fair, not only Microsoft does this
08:01 schestowitz-TR; but it seems more notorious when it comes to that
08:01 schestowitz-TR; based on reporting I saw when journalist still existed about 12 years ago
08:01 schestowitz-TR; we nee dto keep pushing until the company is extinct like Unisys
08:02 Techrights-sec; correct, many do it, but M$ needs to be eliminated before the rest can even
08:02 Techrights-sec; begin to be cleaned up; the problem will be then where the "former" microsofters
08:02 Techrights-sec; end up at taht point; too many mistake them for IT people
08:02 Techrights-sec; so they can do damage for a decode or more after M$ gets broken up or shut down
08:02 Techrights-sec; should that ever happen
08:07 Techrights-sec; I had forgotten. VMWare has been bad for a long while and worked hard to do
08:07 Techrights-sec; lots of damage during that time.
08:07 Techrights-sec; That does illustrate well the problem of what to do with "former" microsofters
08:07 schestowitz-TR; remember that vmware was not always an evil company
08:07 schestowitz-TR; it got hijcked by microsoft moles
08:07 schestowitz-TR; we have many articles about this in the "VMware" wiki
08:07 Techrights-sec; I had forgotten. VMWare has been bad for a long while and worked hard to do
08:07 Techrights-sec; lots of damage during that time.
08:07 Techrights-sec; That does illustrate well the problem of what to do with "former" microsofters
09:09 Techrights-sec; TM seems to have a heavy load or other difficulty
09:09 schestowitz-TR; right, well caught, I've just restarted httpd on it
09:09 schestowitz-TR; I wouldn't have noticed if you had no alerts
09:10 Techrights-sec; the script caught it here, but it was on/off a bit, not a full outage but for
09:10 Techrights-sec; seconds at a time over a 10-minute period
10:01 Techrights-sec; If the outage is continuous for a period, then there is an audible alert,but
10:01 Techrights-sec; on and off like that was just under the threshold and caused only a light to
10:01 Techrights-sec; trigger
10:01 Techrights-sec; TM again
10:01 Techrights-sec; mysqld is having trouble there
10:01 Techrights-sec; restarting httpd instead

11:14 Techrights-sec; ack
11:14 schestowitz-TR; My video is a rant about them hiding data
11:15 schestowitz-TR; and how, if you get to the data, you realise why
11:20 schestowitz-TR; the atlantic is a very hostile site
11:20 schestowitz-TR; when opened in falkon empty page
11:20 schestowitz-TR; in irc (the bot) error 308
11:20 schestowitz-TR; they don't serve pages
11:20 schestowitz-TR; they're like a grumpy ol man asking you question before giving you anything
11:20 schestowitz-TR; my bot, url.sh, which uses wget, curl and perl, does manage to grab summary from the meta
11:20 schestowitz-TR; so that i don't need to open librewolf.. just for some fessy site
11:32 Techrights-sec; ack

12:41 schestowitz-TR; draft
12:44 Techrights-sec; ack
12:44 Techrights-sec; ack
12:44 Techrights-sec; The acronym PCT needs to be expanded the first time it is used there
12:44 Techrights-sec; we can expect the patent system to drift ... unless ...
12:44 schestowitz-TR; you should ask Tony what PCT is
12:44 schestowitz-TR; when he is unprepared
12:45 schestowitz-TR; prepare popcorn
12:45 schestowitz-TR; added wiki page, expsnsion too
12:47 Techrights-sec; ack
12:48 schestowitz-TR; btw, we recived the latest gas+electric bill this morning, still under 100
12:48 schestowitz-TR; this is considered very, very low
12:48 schestowitz-TR; and we have 88 computers turned on 24/7, we cook, shower every day

13:11 Techrights-sec; ack
13:13 schestowitz-TR; I recently did a post and video about this
13:13 schestowitz-TR; it's too eay to brag about BS these days
13:13 schestowitz-TR; because of the junk traffic
13:13 schestowitz-TR; gemini has the ame issue by the way
13:13 schestowitz-TR; tons of bots
13:13 Techrights-sec; ack
13:13 schestowitz-TR; and some people spoke about it, we too covered the subjectg
13:13 schestowitz-TR; but the traffic in gemini is not cpu- and bw-intensive
13:15 schestowitz-TR; my pov
13:15 schestowitz-TR; irc and freenode esp... lots of dummy accounts
13:15 schestowitz-TR; same in youtube
13:15 schestowitz-TR; same in all social control media
13:15 schestowitz-TR; musk said it about twitter
13:15 schestowitz-TR; but it's the same in FB
13:15 schestowitz-TR; iirc msn space was 99% (!) spam before it was shut down with exports to wordpress.com
13:15 schestowitz-TR; provided you had a REAL MSN Space account
13:16 schestowitz-TR; and that's not just a Web thing
13:16 schestowitz-TR; a lot of the financial system is the same
13:16 schestowitz-TR; people's businesses, homes, cars
13:16 schestowitz-TR; the system encourages the faking
13:16 schestowitz-TR; it's commended
13:19 schestowitz-TR; the metaphr is a man with a 50-pound dollars of champagne... whose daily salary is 50 pounds
