### tinyblog other pages: => why-msm.html why-msm *originally posted:* apr 2021 *updated:* sep 2021 ### 2021-09-04 * still pretending he didnt lie about stallman. whats to ask? you already made up the answer. ``` Fri 22:17:27 | schestowitz-TR | I thought about asking RMS about systemd and IBM Fri 22:17:36 | schestowitz-TR | but I very much doubt he has the courage... Fri 22:17:44 | schestowitz-TR | even if they don't sponsor him ``` the big lie: => https://muckrights-sans-merde.neocities.org/the-second-biggest-lie-at-muckrights.html ### 2021-07-26 * > Mon 10:20:12 | openbsd has an ego problem at the top, but not a bloat/complexity problem what ego problem is that? careful, they aimed the exact same fud at richard stallman, and de raadt is no stallman but hes not any more egotistical (or opinionated, but both have fair reason to be "opinionated" most of the time-- so why insinuate this bullshit?). not to mention of course that no ego problem from de raadt is anything compared to you, or to torvalds. pure, unjustifiable fud once again-- you wouldnt be pamela jones if you spent decades in training, what a fucking joke. the difference is integrity-- she had it, and youre fake as shit. ### 2021-07-25 * just for fun, a circle of circles of circles of circles (in text) => ccccs.png ### 2021-07-04 * i think what everybody really wants to know about github copilot, is when it is going to start spewing racist shit like tay? or suggesting constants like 81680085? * ``` Sun 20:47:28 │ actually, it [he means audacity] doesn't need to be forked Sun 20:47:32 │ we already exercise power Sun 20:47:41 │ by expressing possible intend to fork Sun 20:47:45 │ which keeps them honest Sun 20:47:56 │ it's a deterrence strategy and so far it has mostly worked ``` but theyre NOT honest, so clearly it doesnt. when youre done chestbeating and watering down the movement, ask yourself it that would have been enough for libreoffice. not everything needs to be forked, obviously, but once they add telemetry thats a good time for forking. the really sad thing is there arent enough hard forks-- just sad soft ones like devuan that dont move far enough away from the disaster, so it continues to find new ways to fuck with them. soft forks are cool too, but thats not what libreoffice is and even libreoffice will let themselves get taken over by collabulla. you are too eager to not stand for something, even when you say its important. that doesnt sound like free software to me, it sounds like open source-- "free" software with two masters, thats all youre bargaining for. keith used to hang out there, you should go back and read his article about pragmatism and what a farce that is as a strategy for freedom. stop throwing the fight, you fake piece of shit. ### 2021-06-30 * leahs ideas for savegnu are interesting, but theyre smaller than what is needed to save gnu. i think this is more the fsfs fault than leahs though (if you even want to make it about fault, im not blaming her). the fsf is stagnant, but the stagnation is organisational, its not technically because of the leadership. with that said, this exactly is what these two articles are about: => https://wrongwithfreesw.neocities.org/developing-based-on-profit-is-like-dating-based-on-looks.html => https://wrongwithfreesw.neocities.org/a-forced-community-is-like-a-forced-marriage.html the fsf has taught people to think small about freedom, because they arent willing to think bigger about it. to be in line with the fsfs ambitions, you have to think small. leahs ideas are probably bigger than anything the fsf is going to do (you think thats unfair? theyve lost too many projects, and they outsourced their key projects to a corporation that was bought by ibm, which then attacked stallman, the fsf and gnu itself). but leah should think bigger still. the reason isnt arbitrary: we are up against bigger things than the fsf can (or is willing to) manage. being more commercial wont help anyway. it would be like trying to lose weight by eating more (we need the next step to be big, not bloated-- picture someone eating a truck full of candy bars at the gym: "what are you doing?" "working out...") at least shes trying to think beyond the fsfs limitations, though. thats a good start. ### 2021-06-27 * ``` Sergio Conde @skgsergio 28 de març Hmmm... Why is that [stallman support] list a Russian city census? Vladimir Nikishkin @VANikishkin @skgsergio i a @mjg59 Because the "open letter" too painfully reminds us about the way the CPSU used to treat "dissenters" back in the days. The text looks as if it is written according to a Comsomol public shaming template. ``` ### 2021-06-25 * BaronVladimirHa4/fn | at the left are the longest nicks used in irc this year. techrights-ipfs-bot | theyre all 19 characters wide. BaronVladimirHar/fn | so just pad the width to 19 characters for everybody... TechrightsSillyBullshitBot-tr/fn | and if anybody goes over that width, TechrightsSocial/fn | just let that one be non-uniform. anybody with a nick 19 characters or under will be in line. thats good enough. ### 2021-06-23 * bruce bilefield is such a disgusting, spineless, sociopathic pig-- he makes ron look like mister rogers. i even like steve ballmer more. ### 2021-06-17 * fucking troll. http://techrights.org/2021/06/17/loss-of-focus/ its the same coup, arsehole. i dont just mean its the same one (gcc, osi, debibm) that it was in 2018 (libreplanet, debibm, gnu), i mean youre being distracted from the coup, by another part of the coup. pretend youre a real journalist and follow both the leads, you fake fucking shit. ive spent the past month or two cleaning after your mess-- more like 2,500 messes. when youre done jerking your readers around, ill probably clean up this one. now get going. ### 2021-06-06 * only because ron keeps suggesting crystal coined it-- ron coined "sexrights". psy joked about changing the topic. crystal was the third person to mention it, not the first. jan 08 logs. * also, "the new generation of vendor lockin, even in 'open' clothing" (while it is a subject i care about, and probably have for years longer than ron) tripped all my bullshit detectors, and likely contains fabrications and logical problems. debian developers for example, do not care how many loc are in the projects debian uses, which other projects (claim to) maintain. i suspect this article is cover-your-arse stuff against the big systemd lie ron told, but lets see if this recent talk from stallman actually shows up (or if it was made up). ### 2021-06-01 * nobody cares that youre gay, josh-- what are you, a ghostbusters sequel? they care that youre in bed with fucking hitler. but gay? for fucks sake, alan turing was gay, do you think people hate him too? alan turing was adorable! you look like a creepy stepford fly chamber clone of mark zuckerberg and ron howard. go back to your mothership, this planet is protected. ### 2021-05-27 * > also you get to see who's a fake 'journalist' and 'activist' indeed you do, its sort of what the timeline is all about. though sitting on the gnu.fools story (against all the things you said in 2013 and earlier) while bikeshedding freenode on behalf of your host (its more important than a bikeshed, but its still fucking relative and your irc was DEAD before this came up, you dont care about the bigger coup just the little mini one on irc, because you were INSTRUCTED to care and it affects YOU more directly) is something to watch. we can talk all about what makes a fake journalist and fake activist. would you like to go first, or wait for my report? it wont help you either way. youre not a journalist or an activist-- youre just a fake. youre as phony as open source. ### 2021-05-25 * update to the update: the clash between a possibly corporate takeover (or whatever, just the owner owning the name/domain) and a cancel culture takeover is going about as well as you would think. ron is still talking about unity like michael scott with a "martin luther king" index card on his head, and the whole thing looks more like it did 48 hours ago, before the update. the outcome may (yet) be like i expected, but ron still didnt make it up, so theres no reason to say he did other than it being so incredibly much like other lies hes told. i was surely mistaken about this one. but lets take a moment to appreciate just how important all of this is to ron, who in some ways really is like dr. king: ron has a dream-- a dream that one day, people will be judged not by their deeds, their lies, or their efforts to fuck over people and silence them like the moral police in middle eastern countries, but by the convenience ron experiences from convincing people to shut up and get back to serving his needs-- free of charge, free of charge! thank whoever runs freenode! they do whatever ron wants them to, free of charge! * UPDATE: (still 5-25; the 24 was a typo) warm wishes and congratulations to mr. and mr. biden-trump and trump-biden. love conquers many things. with that said, the about page on her website still says "Until May 22, 2021, this included freenode, but anybody on freenode past this date is likely an impersonator." shes been low-key (silent) about it on her twitter feed as well. this staff thing looks at least semi-legit/verified though. i dont think we can blame ron for this one. * another lie: > In better news, kaniini is becoming freenode staff, I heard, and will help to keep it going. May 24 16:37 http://techrights.org/irc-archives/irc-log-240521.html no, you didnt hear that. she was very adamant about leaving as of may 22, and said she would NOT be coming back. shes at libera, and youre lying to trsec about someone coming back-- AGAIN. of course, nothing is impossible. maybe trump and biden will leave their wives and have a gay wedding. maybe kaniini will return to freenode. but lets compare this to similar lies youve told this year, shall we? 1. you lied and said i had come back, when i hadnt (this was to trsec, just like in this example-- hes a real person, right? not just a sock of yours. i mean if hes a sock, you really go out of your way on that one). is it extra thrilling to lie to your own staff? 2. you lied and said that she wanted to withdraw her signature from the anti-stallman letter. ive since read her blog entry on stallman, and there is ZERO, ZERO evidence that she has changed her mind about any of that. so again, "maybe"-- probably not though! this is more likely another lie. this "news" is practically a MIX of two lies that youve already told-- that someone is coming "back" (to freenode) and that kaniini has changed her mind about something. youve already lied about both of those things, i believe-- so why not combine the two into a third lie? you do like victory laps around your own bullshit, right? youre not just a compulsive liar, youre an olympic one-- its a wonder you arent an mp for the european union! ### 2021-05-21 * while ron keeps talking about the importance of "facts" (more like "details"-- like legos, what you build with them depends largely on how theyre put together) and not "fragmenting" irc, a reminder that the point of this website is that muckrights is not about freedom-- or about truth-- its about trying to steer the free/libre tech community towards doing whats best for ron, and nobody else. just that-- nothing more. and whats usually best for ron is that he doesnt have to do anything. if that happens to bring muckrights to a reasonable conclusion on any given matter, its no problem; however, it is not a requirement either. ### 2021-05-20 * mincer found this one on nitter (it breaks freedom, not just security) Danilo (@dbrgn): PSA: Starting in August this year, for newly published Android apps, Google will require that *they* sign apps, not you. This means that the Android security model is fundamentally broken, because the app is signed by the distributor and not by the developer. (1/3) ### 2021-05-18 * lol > schestowitz__ x https://christine.website/talks/systemd-the-good-parts-2021-05-16 May 17 07:35 * martin kleppmann is a dumb lying cunt with no integrity at the university of cambridge. he claims to be a "researcher", but if he did two fucking minutes of "research" he would know this turd of a thesis hes just pulled from his arse was already done by eric raymond at least ten fucking years ago, and all it ever did was give microsoft more things to steal and exploit users with. so fuck you martin, youre 1. a fucking shill posing as a researcher and 2. a fucking idiot who isnt worth a research grant from anybody except the fucking gates monsanto foundation. > schestowitz__ x https://martin.kleppmann.com/2021/04/14/goodbye-gpl.html May 17 07:35 ### 2021-05-14 * muckrights is overstating the importance of freenode to free software just a bit... irc still has many networks that can handle and facilitate communication for free software projects. the requirements for hosting irc are minimal, irc is an ancient protocol designed for lower tech equipment than we have today. the requirements for a free software project having an irc channel are modest. the options are many. just because people use freenode doesnt mean theyre relying on it, and the best way to discover whether a project uses freenode or not is probably to go to their websites or mailing lists. (this makes switching to an alternative network that much easier). if the article said irc is important to free software, sure-- but lets not conflate freenode with irc, the same way github is conflated with git. freenode has had MANY management problems and mini takeovers and censorship before, so i personally wouldnt rely on it based on years of experience with it. youre probably better off without freenode anyway. maybe muckrights is overstating this because their webhost is associated with it. shes the one who pushed muckrights to cover the subject in the first place. also its fucking hilarious that muckrights is talking about how awful the censorship on freenode is, given that muckrights started censoring its own freenode channel recently (keeping people from speaking there without permission) and as a result, chat is LESS about tech problems than ever, and the difference even shows in the stories muckrights puts up. theyre sabotaging their own infrastructure and workflow, then complaining about others doing the same thing. funny stuff. oh, i agree that this is a bad direction for freenode (no tuquoque) and they shouldnt do this. its just funny coming from muckrights. * "Paid-for Plugs and Coordinated Marketing Fluff (PR Campaigns) Are Ruining 'Linux' Sites" okay, well i dont think fsf.org is a "linux" site... hmm. actually, youre right! "Paid-for Plugs and Coordinated Marketing Fluff (PR Campaigns) Are Ruining 'Linux' Sites" ### 2021-05-08 * ron gets two things wrong today: 1. "attacking linux is a losing battle because it requires going against facts, which means it alienates the audience." dont be too sure. people who already loved (gnu)/linux for years are starting to hate what its turning into. hes talking about shills, but thats just the point-- you dont have to be shill to attack what its turning into these days. 2. he made a meme that says gnu "was made in mit"-- it wasnt. im pretty sure he knows that stallman left mit specifically to avoid mit putting a claim on it and trying to control it (the way universities sometimes do). i think this is more than a minor quibble, but who knows if he would agree. ### 2021-05-06 * speaking of things that muckrights isnt talking about, its the fsf (according to their website) that holds the gnu trademark, not stallman. either way, its the fsf (according to their website) that is in charge of enforcing the gnu trademark. but then i dont believe everything i read on the fsf website. (i suspect this one is more likely true than not though). * its not the coup so much that goes in cycles, its the way muckrights covers it that does. how are we supposed to "prepare" for the next "cycle"-- by coming up with stock excuses why something requiring "preparation" can simultaneously be dismissed as a failure? the latest article (todays) claims victory by looking at what happened a month ago, while leaving out what they already know is happening now. thats not journalism, its hardly even scorekeeping. ron is turning into a press secretary. ### 2021-05-03 * generally speaking, operators will have more control over bastions than they will over protocols. ### 2021-05-02 * its funny to see ron talking about the coup again. he was recently downplaying it, but now there is (chat logs) evidence that stallman is still being silenced. this vindicates concerns that the chief gnewsance (not stallman, he is the chief gnuisance) and i had about the fsf bringing him back as a figurehead. of course its not as simple as that, because this is more about gnu than the fsf, and whenever i talk about both at once oliva insists i dont know theyre two different things. we had an enlightening discussion about that-- but ultimately, they are still related, and olivas splitting of hairs over it doesnt impress me. whether stallman is being treated like a mere figurehead of the fsf, or of gnu, is a detail im less concerned with than the fact that the coup i was concerned about is still going on. this coup was being downplayed by muckrights, who have gone from chestbeating about how everything is alright to chestbeating about how theyre the only ones talking about the coup. first of all, i predicted he would do that. second of all, it is deeply hypocritical of ron. but above all, i am still watching the coup. at the moment, i am indeed paying more attention to 2009. several days ago it was 2007, and soon i hope it will be 2010. but i am still watching the coup in 2021 and reporting what i find. i stopped paying attention to oliva, because although he gave me useful information he too has tried to downplay important things and focus instead on minor details i consider unimportant. now hes informing ron instead-- but just as ron has gone from downplaying to talking about the coup, he will go back to downplaying. i think its dirty politics, but it seems to make him happy. ### 2021-04-30 * as much as i agree with pocock on what the problem is overall, this is twice in a row hes flouted a reasonable ethical standard. hes becoming, if not nearly as terrible as the sjws themselves, about as sloppy and unprincipled, in my opinion. of course thats an easy thing to say and i dont expect anybody to just take my word for it. im stating my position lest anybody think i agree with or support his current rhetorical course of action. i dont. its sloppy, full of inaccuracies, and (even under the circumstances) really no business of his. this isnt a defence of the person hes criticising either-- hes absolutely right to criticise, only his tactic is incredibly wrong. my opinion. but when i say its wrong, i mean it lacks ethical considerations and it has costs for people who have nothing to do with the subject of his critique. hes inadvertently throwing untold numbers of people under the bus with his methodology, and thats not unlike the problem that sjws create in the first place. if anybody supports him right now, anybody at all, i hope they will withdraw that support temporarily. im not saying cancel pocock-- but this is not worth supporting. he needs to go back to his drawing board and walk away from the ethical clusterfuck hes pushing lately. and frankly mr. pocock, exactly what the fuck do you think dyslexia has to do with it? you might as well say "there is evidence of left-handedness". what century does your medical expertise hail from? i sincerely hope he doesnt bring out a jar of leeches next. ### 2021-04-29 * fc was getting trolled by the thought police the day before, while using [m] to chat, then the next day was banned (no justification offered) from [m]-- and nobody (ron, m, fc) guessed there was a connection? it certainly isnt proof, but on the wild speculation -> proof scale i dont think it exactly leans the other way. ### 2021-04-28 * rust is the systemd of languages-- anything written in rust is basically controlled upstream, not by the applications own developers. this is mozillas primary function now: not maintaining a web browser, but controlling applications through their npi. and who controls the npi? github, hooray! ### 2021-04-25 * muckrights is on a nazibm kick again: http://techrights.org/2021/04/25/ibm-germany-history/ http://techrights.org/2021/04/25/edwin-black-2021/ cool. so stop discouraging people from getting away from nazi init then, just because youre chained to debian: http://techrights.org/irc-archives/irc-log-techrights-080321.html ``` schestowitz__ I think this should not be out #1 concern Mar 08 19:20 schestowitz__ we can deal with systemd as vendor lock-in later Mar 08 19:20 (its been half a decade-- when the fuck is "later"?) schestowitz__ I see migrations away from Red Hat Mar 08 19:21 schestowitz__ the lock-in is not aggressive enough Mar 08 19:21 MinceR i'm dealing with moving to some BSD Mar 08 19:21 schestowitz__ they cannot pull it off Mar 08 19:21 schestowitz__ MinceR: OK, fair enough Mar 08 19:21 MinceR and then i can watch the mafias kill what's left of Linux and GNU without being affected Mar 08 19:21 schestowitz__ figosdev did that too Mar 08 19:21 schestowitz__ MinceR: that's one option Mar 08 19:21 schestowitz__ the world runs on gnu/linux Mar 08 19:21 schestowitz__ and that won't change any time soon Mar 08 19:21 that changed several years ago, its not gnu/linux anymore-- its nazi linux. (the hogans heroes variety, at least) MinceR the world is thoroughly fucked Mar 08 19:22 ``` if people leave now, what will muckrights write about? youll have to choose between freedom and being a mouthpiece for the vichy france software foundation. ### 2021-04-21 * i love this though: ``` find . -exec stat -LF {} + | cut -d " " -f 5- | tr " " "\t" #public domain ``` * it really does suck to try to change too much of your workflow at once. typically. ### 2021-04-20 * more than a little excited about the next (upcoming) gnew paper. you can find the latest gnew papers at the top of ewwfs: => https://wrongwithfreesw.neocities.org/ this is not said just to promote gnew or ewwfs. the research and promotion gnew is doing this week/month really is the most exciting bit so far. its subtly revolutionary-- it doesnt "look" extremely disruptive. but im not the only person excited about it (and im not trying to take any credit here either, its just awesome). ### 2021-04-19 * debian can declare neutrality and thats great, image-wise-- while ian jackson helps lead the coup at gnu.tools; muckrights telling half the story again. its more than a slight omission. * there are people in the gnu project that seem to believe the attacks on the fsf and gnu (both were on stallman and his supporters) were from separate groups. i have years worth of information that seems to refute that, but they insist they have even more information, which supports it. they even refer to other attacks (ive listed 6 or 7 or 8) that im allegedly not aware of. you know-- presumably public attacks, which nobody knows about. or private attacks-- either way! which when taken into account, supposedly reverse the abundant overwhelming evidence that says all these attacks (from 2018 to april 2021) were from the same groups. thats incredible. i said it was splitting hairs, which is what i think it is. => https://muckrights-sans-merde.neocities.org
