| Techrights-sec | from the FOSS side. There are also powerful or at least influential opponents | Oct 03 08:12 |

| schestowitz-TR | the past 2 years they're barely visible | Oct 03 08:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | and unlike Synk they don't have much funded, I think | Oct 03 08:28 |

| Techrights-sec | It's helpful that Blackduck is doing poorly, they had no value added | Oct 03 08:41 |

| schestowitz-TR | but refrained in recent years as I don't wish to get in trouble with the local authss | Oct 03 08:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | gchq is about 700 meters from us in heron house | Oct 03 08:56 |

| schestowitz-TR | don't want them to identify the spouse on some "list" | Oct 03 08:56 |

| schestowitz-TR | to us the current turmoil is not that big a deal | Oct 03 08:56 |

| schestowitz-TR | I don't have a soldering gun and borrowing is harder when I try to avoid people | Oct 03 09:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I limit myself to one "outsider" if it's very important like getting a reference for the application | Oct 03 09:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | a risk worth taking | Oct 03 09:05 |

| schestowitz-TR | but a big step back considering what COULD be accomplished with Web standards | Oct 03 17:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | Chrome has already becme an _"OS"_. See what ryan wrote about it this morning. | Oct 03 17:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | and what mozilla means to Gulag. | Oct 03 17:21 |
| Techrights-sec | Chrome (Chromium) as well as FF are no longer browsers but the crappiest, | Oct 03 17:22 |
| Techrights-sec | leakiest, and most insecure and inefficient form of VM | Oct 03 17:22 |
| Techrights-sec | FFS skip the browser and just have people fetch a docker or qemu image >:( | Oct 03 17:22 |

| schestowitz-TR | can you imagine using such a contruct to read recipes that I send to rianne if I like them? | Oct 03 17:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe an ol' grandma's recipe book too should be a "VM" | Oct 03 17:24 |

| schestowitz-TR | rant: icewm is on github | Oct 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe predating microsoft, but still | Oct 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | phoronix links a LOT to github | Oct 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | even when it's just a mirror | Oct 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | or an offical independent site has the same news or better | Oct 03 17:53 |
| Techrights-sec | many remain there on GitHub for a variety of invalid reasons | Oct 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | lwn quality did not worsen, it was always like that | Oct 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | phoronix, otho, did worsen | Oct 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | and you can smell the "businessman" from a mile (he prefers the term "enterprenuer") | Oct 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | i hope microsoft loses a LOT of money there | Oct 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | the other day a blogger you follow shilled GitHub Actions | Oct 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | i didn't link to that | Oct 03 17:54 |

| schestowitz-TR | but they lose money on it | Oct 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | they entice peopple with workfload 'freebies' | Oct 03 17:54 |

| Techrights-sec | bill has shown time and again that he is willing to lose money in an area | Oct 03 18:01 |
| Techrights-sec | indefinitely just to ensure that no one else makes money there either | Oct 03 18:01 |
| Techrights-sec | Then related to that you have the long list of economically unviable purchases | Oct 03 18:01 |

| Techrights-sec | establishing a foothold in *any* visible market. Mojang was one example, | Oct 03 18:01 |
| Techrights-sec | there was starting to be a generation of kids that were finding out how | Oct 03 18:01 |
| Techrights-sec | much better any of the GNU/Linux distros were and induced absolute panic | Oct 03 18:01 |
| Techrights-sec | in Redmond by actually beginning how to learn to use said distros. | Oct 03 18:01 |
| Techrights-sec | The kids did not care about freedom, yet, but would have been exposed eventually | Oct 03 18:01 |
| Techrights-sec | What they were interested in was the better performance and improved ease of | Oct 03 18:01 |

| schestowitz-TR | it used to be OK until FF started experiumenting with url abbreviation | Oct 03 18:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and gulag started rewriting urls using JS | Oct 03 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | for tracking purposes | Oct 03 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, lagrange also sucks at copy/paste support | Oct 03 18:05 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes they both also hide the real URL | Oct 03 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | fwiw | Oct 03 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | the status bar does not help and FF does not intercept and undo this behaviour | Oct 03 18:06 |
