00:02 TR News; And in 6 months the same hours happen "twice". What a BRILLIANT system!!

00:22 schestowitz[TR2]; states don't like to iiiimprison disabled people

00:22 schestowitz[TR2]; because it becomes an image problem

00:22 darwin; was the xz backdoor by an Engrish-speaking CCP operative?

00:23 schestowitz[TR2]; is it?

00:23 MinceR; afaik it's not really known whom it came from

00:23 schestowitz[TR2]; i saw no informationn on who did it and why

00:23 schestowitz[TR2]; redis is also story in progress

00:23 MinceR; at least according to the boehs.org article

00:23 schestowitz[TR2]; as LF butts in

00:31 schestowitz[TR2]; Backdoor in xz: What We Know So Far

00:39 parsifal; <schestowitz[TR2]> i saw no informationn on who did it and why - the things come directly from the replacement co-developer of the project(Jia Tan), who took over the project after the primary developer withdrew(Jigar Kumar)

00:40 schestowitz[TR2]; yes

00:40 schestowitz[TR2]; i saw thhhhhat

00:40 schestowitz[TR2]; for health reasons

00:40 schestowitz[TR2]; and was pressured to hand over

00:41 MinceR; there was some uncertainty about whether it was really Jia Tan

00:45 MinceR; indeed

00:45 MinceR; or four-letter acronym

00:45 schestowitz[TR2]; > There's a guy who wants to upload something called "BitchX". It's a patched

00:47 TR News; Wake up, sysadmin. Your 1:30am cron job... well, never mind.

00:48 TR News; D in DST stands for dumb

00:49 TR News; Not only is DST anti-scientific. In some contexts is was made for or defended by the theists, due to their strange rituals.

00:50 TR News; Many politicians agree on DST being dumb and already made the decision to kick it. But they're not implementing that. Because getting politicians to do something is harder than getting them to say something.

00:52 TR News; Facebook videos show Lao fishermen using grenades to boost catch https://www.rfa.org/english/news/laos/grenades-03292024143802.html how DUMB humans have gotten!

00:53 TR Bot; FBI Agent Says He Hassles People 'Every Day, All Day Long' Over Facebook Posts

00:54 TR News; 'Journalists' who write a lot about 'generative AI' are often just PR bunnies, not reporters. Sadly, many Web sites that say "news" only pretend; they pocket money to run fake stories.

00:56 psydruid; I think it's more important to send out that message

00:56 schestowitz[TR2]; psydruid: no, it's more complex

00:56 schestowitz[TR2]; you say ittt like this

00:56 schestowitz[TR2]; journalism is good

00:56 schestowitz[TR2]; journalism is important

00:57 schestowitz[TR2]; many sites are masked as "news"

00:57 psydruid; why even study journalism, if all you're doing is PR

00:57 schestowitz[TR2]; but are not news

00:57 schestowitz[TR2]; and drown out the signal

00:57 schestowitz[TR2]; now helped by chatbots

00:57 psydruid; most journalism is crap

00:57 schestowitz[TR2]; many controlled by microsoft, upstream

00:57 schestowitz[TR2]; x https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/microsoft-and-openai-planning-100-billion-data-center-project-report/articleshow/108883808.cms

00:57 schestowitz[TR2]; he has money

00:58 schestowitz[TR2]; so let's print what he says

00:58 schestowitz[TR2]; -'journalist'

00:58 psydruid; and if you're bought/bribed for a bit of money, your self-worth is essentially zero

00:58 schestowitz[TR2]; worth

00:58 schestowitz[TR2]; case of point:

2 AM, March 31

02:00 schestowitz[TR2]; https://www.youtube.com/c/TFiRio/videos

02:00 TR Bot; - YouTube

02:00 schestowitz[TR2]; see first 2 rows

02:00 schestowitz[TR2]; 20-30 views in two weeks

02:00 schestowitz[TR2]; 2 per day

02:00 schestowitz[TR2]; for new videos

02:00 schestowitz[TR2]; you see the clickfraud by scrolling down

02:00 schestowitz[TR2]; he calls himself "journalist"

02:00 schestowitz[TR2]; but 95% of his "hits" he is just BUYING

02:01 schestowitz[TR2]; they are clickfraud spam

02:01 schestowitz[TR2]; he uses the term "journalist"

02:01 schestowitz[TR2]; many actual journalists don't say "journalist"

02:01 schestowitz[TR2]; they just do their thing

02:01 psydruid; he isn't even a journalist by profession

02:01 schestowitz[TR2]; so the term got sort of hijacked

02:01 schestowitz[TR2]; psydruid: he is not a tech either

02:01 schestowitz[TR2]; he's a charlatan

02:01 schestowitz[TR2]; he makes videos on a mac

02:02 schestowitz[TR2]; with some billboard that says "LINUX" behind him

02:02 schestowitz[TR2]; but my point is,

02:02 psydruid; he's the archetypical Con Artist

02:02 schestowitz[TR2]; the term "journalist"is like "hackerrr"

02:02 schestowitz[TR2]; it lost its meaning

02:02 schestowitz[TR2]; it typically means "get paid to write"

02:02 psydruid; "the name is Artist, Con Artist"

02:02 schestowitz[TR2]; PAID by WHO??

02:02 schestowitz[TR2]; and what FOR?

02:03 psydruid; to deceive people?

02:03 psydruid; PR as it's usually called

02:04 schestowitz[TR2]; yes

02:04 schestowitz[TR2]; and it runs wikipedia tttoo

02:04 schestowitz[TR2]; it wasn't like this 20 years ago

02:04 schestowitz[TR2]; they make horrrible corrupt villain seem like reasonable people

02:04 psydruid; "we can always throw him under the bus, it's just Spamnil"

02:04 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe "a bit conroversial"

02:05 schestowitz[TR2]; so mediawiki is not a facilitator of the PR "industry"

02:06 schestowitz[TR2]; they claim

02:06 schestowitz[TR2]; and weeks after they upload videos only a few hundreds watch

02:06 schestowitz[TR2]; that's like 1 in 1000

02:06 schestowitz[TR2]; what does that tell you

02:06 schestowitz[TR2]; LF is also a PR agenda

02:06 schestowitz[TR2]; and agency

02:06 schestowitz[TR2]; its core staff has no core competencies

02:07 psydruid; the best one the companies have ever created

02:07 schestowitz[TR2]; some of their videos are 200 views after 4 months

02:07 psydruid; a worthy successor to The Open Group, OSF etc.

02:07 schestowitz[TR2]; about a view a day

02:07 schestowitz[TR2]; and they claim 200k "subs"

02:07 psydruid; same companies, different organisation

02:09 schestowitz[TR2]; psydruid: the bots arre an industry

02:09 schestowitz[TR2]; "pay x for x likes, subs etc.

02:09 schestowitz[TR2]; not organic

02:09 schestowitz[TR2]; all manuactured bots

02:09 schestowitz[TR2]; in this "ERA OF HEY HI"

02:09 schestowitz[TR2]; era of bots and PR

02:10 schestowitz[TR2]; and fictional reality

02:10 schestowitz[TR2]; spamnil puts it in his budget

02:10 schestowitz[TR2]; like,m

02:10 schestowitz[TR2]; $200 for "likebots"

02:10 psydruid; and people living in poverty and loving every minute of it

02:10 schestowitz[TR2]; $200 "viewbots"

02:11 schestowitz[TR2]; and hopes that balance that against income from spam seekers

02:11 schestowitz[TR2]; from companies the LF sends to him

02:12 schestowitz[TR2]; they advertise this

02:12 *macrohumanity has quit (connection closed)

02:12 schestowitz[TR2]; Spamnil is an operative of theirs

02:12 schestowitz[TR2]; SJVN also runs puff pieces

02:12 schestowitz[TR2]; they swin close to the shark

02:12 schestowitz[TR2]; even sites like fossforce sold out

02:12 schestowitz[TR2]; and itsfoss

02:12 psydruid; it puts food on the table

02:13 schestowitz[TR2]; they ran some LF for money

02:13 schestowitz[TR2]; they stopped later

02:13 schestowitz[TR2]; but the damage had been done

02:13 psydruid; soon everyone in free software is some kind of PR operative

02:13 psydruid; no one needs to do useful technical work anymore

02:14 schestowitz[TR2]; but also Him Zemlin and her husband Sheela Microsoft

02:14 schestowitz[TR2]; psydruid: right

02:14 schestowitz[TR2]; can't code

02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; but I have blue hair

02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; -bully de blanc

02:15 darwin; is 'hey hi' just a Millennial/Zoomer catchphrase with no meaning?

02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; should say

02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; "can't code, but gave the Debian Project Leader blow jobs"

02:15 schestowitz[TR2]; darwin: no

02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; it's not void of meaning

02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; it just lost its meaning

02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; due to repeated misuse

02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; and misapplicatttion

02:16 schestowitz[TR2]; so it is ruined now

02:16 psydruid; that was the goal

02:17 schestowitz[TR2]; i did actual "AI" 20+ years ago

02:17 schestowitz[TR2]; that meant ML

02:17 psydruid; cheapen the term so anything can pass for AI

02:17 schestowitz[TR2]; and then it's new

02:17 schestowitz[TR2]; fakes are "AI"

02:17 psydruid; that's what greedy companies are good at

02:17 schestowitz[TR2]; "CLOWN COMPUTING"

02:17 schestowitz[TR2]; "METAVERSE"

02:18 psydruid; the problem is also that people don't know what AI involves

02:18 schestowitz[TR2]; <chromas> lol

02:18 schestowitz[TR2]; <chromas> Pretty recent post for something that's been around for at least 20 years

02:18 schestowitz[TR2]; <chromas> Didn't Debian Women turn out to be mostly just Debian dev's girlfriends?I remember a post about that

02:18 schestowitz[TR2]; <chromas> They didn't remove people who moved on, ostensibly to keep the member count higher

02:18 psydruid; so they see it as some kind of black magic

02:19 *macrohumanity has quit (connection closed)

But as with all the previous tech bubbles very few people are talking about what well be able to salvage when the bubble is over."

02:20 psydruid; in a technical society everyone knows what real AI is and also when and where to apply it in their daily lives

02:21 psydruid; and it will only get worse

02:21 schestowitz[TR2]; it's also overhyped

02:21 darwin; that's like putting on a blue shirt and making the claim you have blue skin

02:21 schestowitz[TR2]; say,

02:21 schestowitz[TR2]; let's assume it's ML

02:21 schestowitz[TR2]; and then we cannot pretend ML is new

02:21 schestowitz[TR2]; what is the use casee

02:21 darwin; i did AI in the 1990s when it was PROLOG, etc.

02:21 schestowitz[TR2]; in 2003 they offered me phd on ML for radiology

02:22 psydruid; the hardware is much more powerful now

02:22 *Sompi_ (~sami@7hi3gajkvxq2i.irc) has joined #techrights

02:22 schestowitz[TR2]; it was hardly a new cconcept

02:22 schestowitz[TR2]; it hassssd been done already

02:22 psydruid; that's the only real difference

02:22 schestowitz[TR2]; but a radiologist would still be needed

02:22 schestowitz[TR2]; and here we are, with CLOWN COMPUTING capacity

02:22 schestowitz[TR2]; and we still need radiologists

02:22 *Sompi has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

02:22 schestowitz[TR2]; we probably have a shortage of them

02:23 schestowitz[TR2]; psydruid: that's why "advanced"

02:23 schestowitz[TR2]; or "generative"

02:23 schestowitz[TR2]; make up new acronyms

02:23 schestowitz[TR2]; CG ML

02:23 *macrohumanity has quit (connection closed)

02:23 schestowitz[TR2]; "GAI"

02:23 *macrohumanity (~macrohumanity@dcs84rsrw6b3n.irc) has joined #techrights

02:24 schestowitz[TR2]; like generating faccces from statistical models

02:24 schestowitz[TR2]; none of that is new

02:24 schestowitz[TR2]; the incubator here tried to sell that to movie studios

02:24 schestowitz[TR2]; they were not interested

02:24 psydruid; at the same time gamers lament how they're playing second fiddle to the AI bros

02:24 schestowitz[TR2]; genemation was the company's name, IIRC

02:24 psydruid; I just find it hilarious

02:24 schestowitz[TR2]; now we have free-to-use tools that basically operate at a huge loss

02:24 schestowitz[TR2]; and the hype lets them con "investors"

02:25 schestowitz[TR2]; people won't PAY for this

02:25 darwin; a problem is these proprietary hardware companies need to be broken up and/or siezed and the hardware designs made libre/open (standards)

02:26 *macrohumanity_ (~macrohumanity@dcs84rsrw6b3n.irc) has joined #techrights

02:26 schestowitz[TR2]; it didn't enjoy the "GAI" hype

02:26 schestowitz[TR2]; it did exactly the same

02:26 psydruid; I don't expect the US government to do anything about it

02:26 schestowitz[TR2]; " Chris has been keen to ensure that computer vision is used to solve real problems, has been involved in numerous collaborations with industry, and has formed several spin-off companies including Kestra Ltd (industrial inspection), imorphics Ltd (medical image analysis) and Genemation Ltd (facial modelling)."

02:27 psydruid; any action taken wouldn't be in its favour

02:27 *macrohumanity has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

02:27 schestowitz[TR2]; based on PDMs or AAMs

02:27 psydruid; having the keys to 'hey hi' is a competitive advantage to the US

02:28 schestowitz[TR2]; psydruid: biden needs this bubble

02:28 schestowitz[TR2]; to puff up

02:28 schestowitz[TR2]; if it pops before the election, S and P will fall

05:16 schestowitz[TR2]; " That feels kind of misplaced. It's not like every other project is somehow immune to trusting a maintainer after 2+ years of steady contributions, or indeed any maintainer immune to some sort of coercion that might make them backdoor tarballs."

05:16 schestowitz[TR2]; " I do however think that this should mean an end to the practice of preferring manually built upstream tarballs over pulling in git sources directly that distributions such as debian have espoused. It's the one weak link where few eyes exist in an otherwise pretty reproducible pipeline and it was really only a question of time until someone took advantage of it."

05:17 schestowitz[TR2]; " Having said all that, I wouldn't rely on any version of xz which "Jia Tan" (a pseudonym, I assume) has touched, and unfortunately he's been contributing to xz and been an upstream committer for 2+ years."

Then, seeing that, apparently someone tracked down a systemd dependency where there was a single, tired, and ailing maintainer. Then a fake persona was set up followed by a slew of sock puppet accounts pushing the original, lone, tired, and ailing maintainer to hand over the reins. Once in charge, the fake account did maintenance for a while bef

05:30 schestowitz[TR2]; Systems which do not use systemd, and instead follow the KISS principle, are obviously not affected.

06:14 DaemonFC; The second Starship Troopers movie belonged on MST3K. The 3rd one was a mess but could have been improved on a bit easily.

06:14 DaemonFC; The effects on the third one were not great and that ending where the Federation becomes a theocracy could have been done without.

06:15 DaemonFC; With a bigger budget and less of that, it could have been passable.

06:20 DaemonFC; MinceR: I did find myself spouting out lines like Tom Servo would have.

06:20 DaemonFC; "It's a different part of the penal code every time you hit this guy?"

06:20 DaemonFC; "You know, for a society that has 57 hangings in a single day, this guy has gotten away with a lot."

06:22 DaemonFC; The "Brain Bug let itself be captured" part was stupid.

06:22 DaemonFC; If it let itself get captured, why was it afraid?

06:23 DaemonFC; If they knew everyone who went near it was affected psychologically, why did they let the Sky Marshal spend so much time down there by himself rubbing himself all over the brain bug?

06:24 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2]: CNN had another article on the "fertility crisis" in Taiwan. It was Taiwan this time.

06:24 DaemonFC; And they centered the article on two gay men having sex and having difficulty getting each other pregnant.

06:24 DaemonFC; Hmmm. I wonder.

06:26 DaemonFC; Anyway, they were pointing out how difficult it is to obtain fertility services as a gay married couple in Taiwan. You know, if it was BIOLOGICALLY possible for two men to get each other pregnant, there are not enough gay men in Taiwan to do it to matter much to the overall pregnancy rate of the country.

06:26 DaemonFC; So it makes me wonder why CNN is focusing on a bizarre and wholly artificial process where having a child costs them $160,000 US Dollars.

06:27 DaemonFC; Maybe because the people at CNN are freaks and weirdos that like playing "How many times can we troll people in the same article, and make it woke?"

06:28 DaemonFC; It's very important that they have a child. That way if it survives the Communists invading, it can live under the soul crushing wheel of a Communist State where it has about as much right of free speech as a Canadian.

06:28 DaemonFC; The USCIS forms should state this.

06:29 DaemonFC; "Are you a member of any Communist Party?" "Are you a member of any Nazi Party?" "Have you spent any time in Canada?"

06:29 DaemonFC; Did I mention Fuck Canada yet today?
