09:59 schestowitz-TR; do you want me to swap pi@pi crontab?
09:59 schestowitz-TR; I can just add what you've asked for
09:59 schestowitz-TR; I have lots of tasks to do on it tonight anyway, as it's a new year and some stuff needs intervention
09:59 schestowitz-TR; (I have a list)

10:48 schestowitz-TR; I've long regarded it, based on what I saw, to be a hostile site of Microsofters
10:48 schestowitz-TR; this article is... terrible in a lot of ways
10:50 schestowitz-TR; i don't even know if this hostility is intentional
10:50 schestowitz-TR; at least in this case
10:50 schestowitz-TR; still asessign the text
10:50 schestowitz-TR; I wonder where he got the "facts" from
10:50 schestowitz-TR; Reddit Robertson?
10:50 techrightssec2; Should analyticsindiamag be added to the spam list so it is avoided in the
10:50 techrightssec2; future?
10:50 techrightssec2; It's probably just out of misinformation and ignorance
10:50 techrightssec2; but that in itself is a problem.
10:51 schestowitz-TR; don't spam it yet
10:51 schestowitz-TR; I think he didn't mean harm
10:51 schestowitz-TR; but I always became cynical when I saw the domain
10:51 schestowitz-TR; they boosted github and microsoft a lot
10:51 schestowitz-TR; and only counted projects controlled by microsoft
10:51 schestowitz-TR; but that was years ago
10:52 schestowitz-TR; 15 minutes to HNY! https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/12/31/Happy_2023.shtml
10:52 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-news.tuxmachines.org | Tux Machines Happy 2023!
10:54 techrightssec2; What about providing some feedback to him? A few supportive words correcting
10:54 techrightssec2; the misunderstanding and pointing to links describing how m$ lied about Minix
10:54 techrightssec2; might help clear things up.
10:57 schestowitz-TR; 15 minutes to HNY! https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/12/31/Happy_2023.shtml
10:57 schestowitz-TR; if you can find contact details, good. I saw only a bio. harping about space something
10:57 schestowitz-TR; nothing related to microsoft
10:57 schestowitz-TR; like I said, maybe the edeitor chose the nasty headline
10:57 schestowitz-TR; and is a microsofter
10:57 schestowitz-TR; provocation can get theme more clicks
10:57 schestowitz-TR; btw, i remarked on larabel in irc
10:57 schestowitz-TR; he's feeding anti-linux articles atm
10:57 schestowitz-TR; to sell amd's crap
10:57 schestowitz-TR; i don't trust amd at all! in some ways they've advanced to more sinister things than intel
10:57 schestowitz-TR; they are run by an oimber
10:57 schestowitz-TR; *imber
10:57 schestowitz-TR; *ibmer
10:57 schestowitz-TR; like hovsepian
10:59 techrightssec2; If the editor is working against the staff by being a microsofter then he must
10:59 techrightssec2; be let go posthaste
11:01 schestowitz-TR; info or editor might reach the gatekeeper
11:01 schestowitz-TR; hence have no effect
11:01 schestowitz-TR; unless you reach reach the author by name directly
11:01 schestowitz-TR; it feels like they turned a well-MEANING article into a nasty piece that says the opposite
11:01 schestowitz-TR; mocking linux
11:01 schestowitz-TR; like the leaked presentation
11:01 schestowitz-TR; with "believes in santa"
11:01 schestowitz-TR; nobody uses android
11:01 schestowitz-TR; etc etc.
11:01 schestowitz-TR; or: linux is GAFAM's only
11:01 schestowitz-TR; of course gnu is never mentioned at all
11:01 schestowitz-TR; and they use as references quora
11:01 schestowitz-TR; yes, quora
11:01 schestowitz-TR; randomGuy from quora
11:34 techrightssec2; True.
11:35 schestowitz-TR; the news about ronaldo is just a spare nail on the coffin
11:35 schestowitz-TR; I already avoid football
11:35 schestowitz-TR; I just check the table once a week, takes a few seconds

12:01 schestowitz-TR; did you hit wrong button?
12:01 schestowitz-TR; anyway, I can retype what I was typing re nitter if you did not see it
12:01 schestowitz-TR; short story, nitter.eu won't redirect anymore
12:01 schestowitz-TR; use nitter.pussthecat.org
12:01 schestowitz-TR; i did not click anything strange
12:01 schestowitz-TR; maybe a connection problem
12:01 schestowitz-TR; it does not matter
12:01 schestowitz-TR; you posted some email addresses or somethingnot sure there was anything critical there
12:01 techrightssec2; probaly hit the wrong button but not aware of doing so
12:01 techrightssec2; I saw the nitter info, thanks. The other domains seem down too
12:01 techrightssec2; Nah, it was probably on my end.
12:02 techrightssec2; analyticsindiamag.com "partners" with m$ and IBM
12:03 techrightssec2; analyticsindiamag.com "partners" with m$ and IBM
12:03 techrightssec2; It'd probably worth sending a very brief mail his way 1) to test the address
12:03 techrightssec2; 2) to provide a little feedback
12:04 techrightssec2; to sound out their actual stance on FOSS
13:09 techrightssec2; Parts 1, 2, and 3 of Andy's series need links forward in the TOC. The internal
13:09 techrightssec2; link method is unfamiliar. Can you please fix 1, 2, and 3 so that the TOC
13:09 techrightssec2; points to all four parts? It would help people to find their way through
13:09 techrightssec2; the series.
13:15 schestowitz-TR; ok, wait
13:15 schestowitz-TR; oh, you already do this
13:15 schestowitz-TR; it said you were editing the latest
13:19 schestowitz-TR; ok, wait
13:20 schestowitz-TR; oh, you already do this
13:20 schestowitz-TR; it said you were editing the latest
13:20 schestowitz-TR; thanks, looks like you beat me to it
13:20 schestowitz-TR; I am doing a post about gemini's growth
13:20 schestowitz-TR; important to encourage more people to join
13:20 schestowitz-TR; and keep the momentum going
13:20 schestowitz-TR; rms says they are understaffed

13:30 techrightssec2; "intellectual [sic] property [sic]"
13:32 schestowitz-TR; was this bill scheduled to be decided upon at this time?
13:32 schestowitz-TR; or was this time chosen to duck what's left of ****lists

13:36 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> US government: trust us on experimental vaccines, even though we're suing the company that make it for colluding against the public
13:36 techrightssec2; The latter, it would have passed by default if unaddressed by 28 Dec 2022
13:36 techrightssec2; However, Hochul got a shitload of carve outs including exceptions for
13:36 techrightssec2; farm equipment, motor vehicles, medical equipment, data center equipment, and
13:36 techrightssec2; a few others. On top of that, there is a "safety" / "security" except across
13:36 techrightssec2; the board and the encouragement of selling clusters of components as "assemblies" to dodge selling individual com
13:36 techrightssec2; ponents.
13:39 schestowitz-TR; regarding hochul, this is very typical of activism
13:39 schestowitz-TR; upc is a good example of it
13:39 schestowitz-TR; persistence is needed
13:39 schestowitz-TR; because the system is not an instrument os jutice
13:39 schestowitz-TR; you need to keep punching at it
13:39 schestowitz-TR; to get anything just
13:39 schestowitz-TR; iirc, louis is about 30
13:39 schestowitz-TR; not sure how much of that he has experienced already

14:01 techrightssec2; Louis routinely mistakes comments from astroturfers and shills as honest
14:01 techrightssec2; comments, but otherwise he is fairly street smart in regards to politics.
14:01 techrightssec2; He has personally been most of the way through the school of hard knocks
14:01 techrightssec2; on his pursuit of "Right to Repair" issues for his business.

15:59 schestowitz-TR; --
15:59 schestowitz-TR; oh, shit, looking at blogs today I realised many people had a truly shitty year this year
15:59 schestowitz-TR; like really, really bad
15:59 schestowitz-TR; not just economic reasons
15:59 schestowitz-TR; or war
15:59 schestowitz-TR; afaik, there are no promises made for 2023 that would give people morale
15:59 schestowitz-TR; my sister says the news does not cover suicide stats for fear it would reinforce a mood
15:59 schestowitz-TR; and by doing so increase or exacerbate the problem
15:59 schestowitz-TR; I've just added 4 links to TM
15:59 schestowitz-TR; seems nobody had a good year
15:59 schestowitz-TR; and the same was true for prior years
