[00:01]	schestowitz__	Max Drei, if you or I were to file an opposition alleging certain things are common general knowledge, we would be required to provide evidence to back it up. How is the applicant/proprietor able to properly dispute whether the matter concerned is common general knowledge if unaware of the source of the alleged common general knowledge. It seems to me it is generally quite difficult to prove a negative and I am not sure how one is
[00:01]	schestowitz__	supposed to go about rebutting a claim of the sort made by the BoA if all one has to go on is 'Well we know it'. 
[00:01]	schestowitz__	As for not everything be appealable in England, while that is true, do our appellate bodies tend to introduce new unsubstantiated evidence off their own bat?

[06:18]	schestowitz__	Almost every company using the RISC-V design has modified it in proprietary and opaque ways.
[06:18]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch
[06:18]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch - 3 months ago
[06:18]	schestowitz__	The initial design should have been made under the GPL3.

[06:18]	schestowitz__	do you realize that making microprocessors is not covered by copyright law?
[06:18]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch
[06:18]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch - 3 months ago
[06:18]	schestowitz__	Hmmm, Isnt the design a paper document?
[06:18]	schestowitz__	Alexandre Oliva
[06:18]	schestowitz__	Alexandre Oliva - 3 months ago
[06:18]	schestowitz__	the design specification can be governed by a copyright license, but that does not affect the silicon
[06:18]	schestowitz__	its like, if I write a recipe as a poem, its governed by copyright, but that has no effect on food made using the recipe
[06:18]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch
[06:18]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch - 3 months ago
[06:19]	schestowitz__	Ah, but the modifications to the design as also on paper.
[06:19]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch
[06:19]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch - 3 months ago
[06:19]	schestowitz__	Companies license technology all the time - is this solely based upon patent law?
[06:19]	schestowitz__	Alexandre Oliva
[06:19]	schestowitz__	Alexandre Oliva - 3 months ago
[06:19]	schestowitz__	so what? it doesnt have to be published.
[06:19]	schestowitz__	what makes the gpl work (in non-SaaSS scenarios) is the fact that, when you distribute the binary, you have to at least offer the corresponding sources
[06:19]	schestowitz__	selling microprocessors doesnt carry with it any obligation to offer design specifications, so their licensing terms are hardly relevant
[06:19]	schestowitz__	even if some license were to state such an obligation, thats not how copyright licenses work. licenses grant permissions. establishing an arbitrary requirement on uncovered matter is a matter for contracts, with explicit assent, rather than licenses, that are unilaterally granted.
[06:19]	schestowitz__	it might work to condition certain permissions to the performance of other actions, but then, someone who only uses the design specs as a basis for their microprocessor product doesnt need any permission to modify, adapt, distribute or publicly perform the original design. even if they introduce changes to the design, they may be documented and described in separate, independent documents. so a copyright license on the design 
[06:19]	schestowitz__	would have nearly zero leverage to enable an implementation of similar effects to those of copyleft
[06:19]	schestowitz__	Alexandre Oliva
[06:19]	schestowitz__	Alexandre Oliva - 3 months ago
[06:19]	schestowitz__	I suppose trade secrets, microprocessor masks, patents, trademarks, design patents, and copyrighted works anything that requires a legal nod from someone else
[06:19]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch
[06:19]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch - 3 months ago
[06:19]	schestowitz__	Sad that. RISC-V being open then does virtually nothing for our culture as a whole, its only a starting-point resource for companies to make their proprietary products, just as they do ordinarily. There is nothing revolutionary here. Just like open source without the GPL, you are going to find Minix hiding in Intel ME. That is not what we are after - no, not at all.
[06:19]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch
[06:19]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch - 3 months ago
[06:19]	schestowitz__	Explicit licenses, apart from copyright, is there any hope there for requiring sharing? Or would that only work for the first generation?
[06:19]	schestowitz__	Alexandre Oliva
[06:19]	schestowitz__	Alexandre Oliva - 3 months ago
[06:19]	schestowitz__	the only thing that will actually work in the long run is consumer/customers educated demands (for their freedoms to be respected), and market freedom to tend to their demands (so that no dominant position can prevent others from tending to customers legitimate demands)
[06:19]	schestowitz__	this, with educated consumers, would render copyleft and similar defenses unnecessary. were not there wrt software or anything else, alas, and likely never will. but theres nothing even vaguely similar to copyleft when it comes to actual hardware, and I doubt introducing more unjust laws that promote power over others is a solution, even if they were to bring with them copyleft-analogous defenses on exceptions
[06:19]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch
[06:19]	schestowitz__	tomgrz@diasporing.ch - 3 months ago
[06:19]	schestowitz__	consumers for the most part care not. And those that do can be manipulated - as we have seen.

[06:21]	schestowitz__	RISC-V is a step in a positive direction. Any step in a more positive direction, I think, should be applauded. What else is there to outdo that? Sun tried something similar with SPARC.

[06:26]	schestowitz__	@Moul github is not open source (or free software, whatever you want to call it). This is the primary problem people have with it.

[06:26]	schestowitz__	Oh, it is very much different with gitlab, in that they do not have nearly the resources or monopoly that Microsoft has at their disposal. One must keep in mind that the value of information is highly dependent upon the other information that it can be tied-in with. It is all about correlations and interconnections.

[06:44]	schestowitz__	Governments need to listen, Most are not capable of that, they are in real trouble.
[06:44]	schestowitz__	I think had it not been for Covid19 and failure of the US government to get a grip, then the Killing of George FLoyd would have just been yet another police brutality incident, but Covid19 has caused anger, heartache on a huge scale, so the two were a perfect storm, What happened to George FLoyd just pushed people over the edge of their tolerance level.

[06:44]	schestowitz__	Social media has played a part, sharing videos, stories, there is now a huge movement, people are finding their voice, starting to see people for who they really are, stories move very very quickly people add to them, social media of all types allows communication and coordination on a huge scale, something governments have failed with.
[06:44]	schestowitz__	Add to that, huge unemployment, corporates getting rid of staff en masse, the people, without whom they would not be run by billionaires, meanwhile the government bail these huge companies out, but only pay the workers what was it $1200.
[06:44]	schestowitz__	I dont think governments are capable of learning lessons, Trump said early on about draining the swamp, this needs to happen, we need to vastly change the way we do things, and yes, defund the police or at least not have them armed like they are a subset of the Army, so that we can fund grass roots community level projects, start trusting people by not spying on them, protect and stand up for the constitution and values that 
[06:44]	schestowitz__	comes with that, or rip it up and rewrite it for the 21st century.
[06:44]	schestowitz__	The repercussions for those who are intolerant, racist and incompetent may be that they are treated to a long time in jail or some sort of re-education programme where they are made to see the error of their ways and earn their way back in to society,
[06:44]	schestowitz__	This goes back to school, make the bullies understand the hurt they are causing people and help them to be better citizens.

[06:44]	schestowitz__	A year later these issues have not been addressed. Meanwhile, censorship of the masses in social control media giants has increased.

[07:41]	schestowitz__	I've ejected my old 3 TB drives... still working OK... from storage. One of them I can attach to the pi in case we need more disk space and it has a socket ready for it. I contemplate adding gemini access to old irc logs (although they're HTML, we can convert those to txt in bulk if needed)

[09:57]	Techrights-sec2	perhaps /home could be mounted on the drive?
[09:57]	Techrights-sec2	bind mounts can help too
[09:58]	schestowitz__	issue is, I sometimes need to detach that drive, and /home is a critical part. I think we have enough space left for a year at least (gemini and ipfs grow not so fast)
