| DaemonFC[m] | I've really had it with these stupid Fedora kernels. | Feb 03 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| DaemonFC[m] | I might just back everything up and switch to Debian. | Feb 03 00:12 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: I like parabola | Feb 03 00:12 |
| danielp3344 | debian is always out of date | Feb 03 00:12 |
| danielp3344 | I was even on sid for a while | Feb 03 00:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Intel breaks something and these stupid idiots just package it like that. | Feb 03 00:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | At least Debian Stable stays on one LTS kernel series and just follows it. | Feb 03 00:13 |
| psydroid | it is that important to always have all of the latest software, though? | Feb 03 00:14 |
| MinceR | what difference does it make if it includes systemd anyway? | Feb 03 00:15 |
| MinceR | they all do what ibm wants, eventually | Feb 03 00:15 |
| MinceR | and poettering is at least as clueless about software engineering as he was when he started | Feb 03 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apparently, Debian is actually updating WebkitGTK. | Feb 03 00:16 |
| psydroid | he was at FOSDEM today to spread the faith | Feb 03 00:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Firefox ESR. | Feb 03 00:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, I can live with ESR. | Feb 03 00:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, Debian isn't about the latest bling bling. | Feb 03 00:17 |
| psydroid | on Sid I have Firefox and Firefox ESR | Feb 03 00:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's about stability and security patches, long term. | Feb 03 00:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Ubuntu says they'll pimp your ride and they manage breaking everything. | Feb 03 00:17 |
| MinceR | deadian is about copying fedora, slowly | Feb 03 00:17 |
| psydroid | if I need the latest version of something I build it myself | Feb 03 00:17 |
| danielp3344 | I should run guix | Feb 03 00:18 |
| MinceR | it's surprising how much n00buntu manages to break considering how little they're willing to do | Feb 03 00:18 |
| psydroid | Ubuntu looks shiny and installs easily, but after that you find out that it doesn't actually work | Feb 03 00:18 |
| danielp3344 | but I've been too lazy to install it | Feb 03 00:18 |
| danielp3344 | and parabola is fairly up to date | Feb 03 00:18 |
| psydroid | in subtle and not so subtle ways | Feb 03 00:18 |
| danielp3344 | <psydroid "if I need the latest version of "> lol I remember when I was on sid I couldn't even do that | Feb 03 00:18 |
| danielp3344 | I wanted gnome-builder, but meson was too old to build it | Feb 03 00:19 |
| psydroid | that's what the shill who came here recently didn't want to see | Feb 03 00:19 |
| danielp3344 | and flatpak was too old to get the flatpak | Feb 03 00:19 |
| psydroid | lol | Feb 03 00:19 |
| danielp3344 | I think I just gave up after that | Feb 03 00:19 |
| psydroid | flatpak is broken here on Debian 10 | Feb 03 00:19 |
| danielp3344 | ^no kidding | Feb 03 00:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Is there actually a way to tell what kernel Debian is actually using? | Feb 03 00:20 |
| danielp3344 | My pinephone made it to NY! | Feb 03 00:20 |
| danielp3344 | <DaemonFC[m] "Is there actually a way to tell "> uname -a | Feb 03 00:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They broke Flatpak? | Feb 03 00:20 |
| MinceR | flatpak is broken by design | Feb 03 00:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh my fucking god. | Feb 03 00:20 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: I don't think it's broken just bad | Feb 03 00:20 |
| psydroid | no, I mean I get some weird error message when running 'flatpak update' | Feb 03 00:20 |
| MinceR | its "sandbox" is worthless | Feb 03 00:20 |
| psydroid | and I can't figure out what's the problem | Feb 03 00:20 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: yeo | Feb 03 00:20 |
| danielp3344 | yep* | Feb 03 00:20 |
| MinceR | and it depends on cancerd | Feb 03 00:20 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: shaddup | Feb 03 00:21 |
| MinceR | yeah, i know, you want the shiniest, most "modern" piece of shit available :> | Feb 03 00:21 |
| psydroid | (flatpak update:14236): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 01:20:41.928: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system | Feb 03 00:21 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: no I just happen to like systemd OK? | Feb 03 00:21 |
| MinceR | (but then why not just skip ahead of systemd and fedora and run Backdoors10?) | Feb 03 00:21 |
| danielp3344 | It's free software | Feb 03 00:21 |
| MinceR | it's not | Feb 03 00:21 |
| MinceR | but hopefully your condition is treatable | Feb 03 00:21 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: because it won't run on my pinephone :P | Feb 03 00:21 |
| danielp3344 | also I'm on parabola, not fedora | Feb 03 00:22 |
| MinceR | another thing i don't get | Feb 03 00:22 |
| MinceR | if you believe the gospel, why would you prefer another systemd distro to fedora? | Feb 03 00:22 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: it's like arch, but better at not installing nonfree stuff without telling you | Feb 03 00:22 |
| MinceR | they'll just do what their emperor tells them to, just more slowly | Feb 03 00:22 |
| MinceR | yeah, arch is garbage too | Feb 03 00:22 |
| danielp3344 | I love pacman, I just hate their packaging | Feb 03 00:23 |
| danielp3344 | So much nonfree stuff pulled in for no reason | Feb 03 00:23 |
| MinceR | yeah, that's weird | Feb 03 00:23 |
| MinceR | considering that in theory you could replace all that nonfree stuff with just one massive nonfree hairball | Feb 03 00:23 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 03 00:24 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: I have no nonfree code on this system other than the intel cpu | Feb 03 00:24 |
| danielp3344 | (which defeats the whole purpose but I don't have money to get another cpu) | Feb 03 00:25 |
| MinceR | yeah, i know, you believe that poettering forcing his policies and daemons on you doesn't infringe on your freedoms | Feb 03 00:25 |
| MinceR | and that they taking over projects to make them dependent on systemd or to make them part of systemd doesn't infringe on users' freedoms either | Feb 03 00:25 |
| MinceR | apparently free software is not about choice :> | Feb 03 00:25 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: am I missing any freedoms | Feb 03 00:25 |
| danielp3344 | ?* | Feb 03 00:25 |
| MinceR | it's not about control for the users | Feb 03 00:25 |
| MinceR | it's about ibm having control! | Feb 03 00:25 |
| MinceR | we could have skipped so much extra work if we had known this in the beginning | Feb 03 00:26 |
| MinceR | you even get to pay beloved microsoft to sign your uefi bootloaders, and see for how long will they graciously allow you to boot your "modern" system instead of the one it imitates | Feb 03 00:26 |

| DaemonFC[m] | https://www.debian.org/security/2019/dsa-4531 | Feb 03 00:27 |
| MinceR | what could possibly be better than having alleged champions of freedom (red hat and canonical) to pay the biggest enemy the community has, only to be stabbed in the back later? | Feb 03 00:27 |

| MinceR | yes, i hope to gain a great deal | Feb 03 00:27 |
| danielp3344 | I do enjoy discussing init systems and conspiracy but you're kind of hard to talk to about it lol | Feb 03 00:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Brad Spengler reported that a backporting error reintroduced a spectre-v1 vulnerability in the ptrace subsystem in the ptrace_get_debugreg() function." | Feb 03 00:28 |
| MinceR | IT could do a lot for me, if it was powerful enough and if i could truly control the equipment i'm supposed to own | Feb 03 00:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | :) | Feb 03 00:28 |
| MinceR | ah yes, the old bullshit about systemd being "just an init system" | Feb 03 00:28 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: If you dislike the leadership of systemd fork it | Feb 03 00:28 |
| danielp3344 | Nobody will stop you | Feb 03 00:28 |
| MinceR | no thank you | Feb 03 00:28 |
| <--swaggboi has quit (Quit: C-x C-c) | Feb 03 00:28 | |

| <--smnthermes (976c22869c@xmpp.snopyta.org) has left #techrights | Feb 03 00:28 | |
| MinceR | i see no value in trying to edit a huge mess of design flaws implemented badly to try and turn it into something reasonable | Feb 03 00:28 |
| MinceR | while following the churn they do in their own repo so that other malware like gnome can still run on it | Feb 03 00:29 |
| -->smnthermes (976c22869c@xmpp.snopyta.org) has joined #techrights | Feb 03 00:29 | |
| MinceR | but it's interesting how the systemd cult just assumes that everyone wants to use systemd | Feb 03 00:29 |
| psydroid | you can't "just do that" | Feb 03 00:29 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: Then good day to you sir | Feb 03 00:29 |
| *danielp3344 leaves | Feb 03 00:29 | |
| MinceR | "hey, if you want to use something that isn't systemd, just fork systemd and call it something else!" | Feb 03 00:29 |
| MinceR | it takes an exceptional amount of religious zealotry to be unable to realize that some people might not want to use systemd | Feb 03 00:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, Debian looks like it's become as bad as Fedora, just with outdated software. | Feb 03 00:30 |
| MinceR | which is pretty weird | Feb 03 00:30 |
| psydroid | unless you go back 10-20 years to the times before all of this happened and then fork everything and develop a sane system from that | Feb 03 00:30 |
| MinceR | outdates is not "modern" | Feb 03 00:30 |
| MinceR | i guess deadian people believe that just because their systemd is old it's somehow "stable" | Feb 03 00:31 |
| MinceR | even though it was never stable | Feb 03 00:31 |
| MinceR | s/dates/dated/ | Feb 03 00:31 |
| psydroid | I had a conversation about that with a friend last week | Feb 03 00:32 |
| psydroid | Debian 10 on a singlecore qemu mipsel machine took ages to boot the first time after upgrading from 9 | Feb 03 00:33 |
| MinceR | strange | Feb 03 00:33 |
| psydroid | but even he said he "likes" systemd | Feb 03 00:33 |
| MinceR | after all the gospel i've heard about how cancerd boots so fast, i'd expect different | Feb 03 00:33 |
| psydroid | indeed | Feb 03 00:34 |
| MinceR | i remember when that was _the_ selling point | Feb 03 00:34 |
| psydroid | wasn't it built specificially for embedded hardware vendors? | Feb 03 00:34 |
| MinceR | now they don't have any selling points, they just play the ibm/microsoft game | Feb 03 00:34 |
| psydroid | specifically* | Feb 03 00:34 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 03 00:34 |
| MinceR | it would be amusing | Feb 03 00:34 |
| MinceR | "we've put in an extra GB of RAM into our embedded system so that the "init system" would fit!" | Feb 03 00:35 |
| psydroid | lol | Feb 03 00:35 |
| psydroid | installing slackware 8.1 showed me what the system was like at the time and how usable it already was | Feb 03 00:36 |
| psydroid | all these years later what exactly have we gained apart from more "shiny" stuff | Feb 03 00:36 |
| -->swaggboi (~swaggboi@2601:151:c301:20f1:225:90ff:fe57:2da4) has joined #techrights | Feb 03 00:37 | |
| MinceR | we haven't gained but at least we've lost | Feb 03 00:37 |
| MinceR | we've lost a lot of control over software we used to use | Feb 03 00:37 |
| MinceR | we've lost a lot of control over what our own property does | Feb 03 00:37 |
| MinceR | and we're supposed to like microsloth deciding what OS we're allowed to boot and we're supposed to like ibm deciding how we're allowed to do our logging and whether tmux is allowed to keep running after we've detached and logged out | Feb 03 00:38 |
| psydroid | ironically my experience installing openbsd on my powermac g4 was more like installing and using slackware than a modern slackware/linux install is | Feb 03 00:38 |
| psydroid | also that | Feb 03 00:38 |
| MinceR | suddenly we're supposed to not want to run a free unix anymore because some idiot who fancies himself a software engineer decided that it's not "modern" anymore | Feb 03 00:39 |
| psydroid | I don't accept microsloth being involved, let alone being decisive, in any part of my computing experience | Feb 03 00:39 |
| danielp3344 | unix is dead | Feb 03 00:40 |
| danielp3344 | :P | Feb 03 00:40 |
| MinceR | and i'm supposed to be happy that they took down the distribution i was using from the inside in attempt to force their malware on me | Feb 03 00:40 |
| psydroid | that's what they want you to believe | Feb 03 00:40 |
| danielp3344 | ok, both of you | Feb 03 00:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Deader than Judas Iscariot!" | Feb 03 00:40 |
| MinceR | even though if it was as good as they claimed it to be, everyone would want to use it on their own | Feb 03 00:40 |
| danielp3344 | never mind... | Feb 03 00:40 |
| *danielp3344 quietly switches to openrc | Feb 03 00:41 | |
| MinceR | well, at least some of the clergy _know_ that systemd is crap otherwise they wouldn't have gone to all that trouble to force it on us | Feb 03 00:41 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Other than getting rid of the last bits of Amazon. | Feb 03 00:55 |
| psydroid | I got disappointed with Ubuntu on all of my hardware, so I am not running it anywhere | Feb 03 00:57 |
| psydroid | plain Debian works better for despite despite the systemd stuff | Feb 03 00:57 |
| psydroid | for me* | Feb 03 00:57 |
| MinceR | ubunturd has systemd all the same | Feb 03 01:00 |
| psydroid | and it's still buggier, which is quite an achievement | Feb 03 01:05 |
| <--smnthermes (976c22869c@xmpp.snopyta.org) has left #techrights | Feb 03 01:06 | |

| MinceR | maybe you get lucky and they ban you from weaselconf for not being politically correct | Feb 03 01:10 |
| MinceR | or for being of a sex or race they don't happen to like | Feb 03 01:12 |
| psydroid | I'm pretty sure they've built up quite a profile about me | Feb 03 01:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I identify as a dolphin and I need a bathroom that has a tank full of saltwater. | Feb 03 01:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you don't give me one I will be in touch with my lawyer. | Feb 03 01:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, Richard Stallman abused his position at the FSF to not give dolphin people more money to write Codes of Conduct with. | Feb 03 01:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Therefore, we must cease being an official GNU project that nobody has ever heard of which apparently makes software that doesn't run on an actual computer. | Feb 03 01:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, we will be suing the FSF under the Americans with No Abilities Act for not giving dolphin people special parking spots with aquarium equipped entrances. | Feb 03 01:23 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 03 01:23 |
| <--mmu_man_ has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) | Feb 03 01:24 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: The Americans with No Abilities Act is the reason there's like 50 handicapped parking spots at Walmart. | Feb 03 01:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Incidentally, half of the people parking there have no actual disability and just got a doctor slip so they could park closer to the door. | Feb 03 01:28 |
| MinceR | doesn't that offend americans with disabilities who do have some abilities, just not all of them? | Feb 03 01:28 |
| ---ASKVAST[m] is now known as VASTfreedom[m] | Feb 03 01:28 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | I call it the Americans With No Abilities Act. | Feb 03 01:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because it's so frequently abused and used as subject matter for frivolous lawsuits by assholes. | Feb 03 01:28 |
| MinceR | ah | Feb 03 01:29 |
| MinceR | :) | Feb 03 01:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The compliance costs are a boon to lawyers and other people who add nothing to the real economy. | Feb 03 01:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Those are the Americans With No Abilities. They sleaze by and profiteer off taking people to court for not having enough ramps, grab bars, and parking spots. | Feb 03 01:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or not making "reasonable accommodation" for people who need to bring their Emotional Support Turkey on a Southwest Airlines flight. | Feb 03 01:30 |
| MinceR | i'd rather bring my Emotional Support Russia | Feb 03 01:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I see what you did there. | Feb 03 01:31 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 03 01:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's Trump's Emotional Support Pootie Poot. | Feb 03 01:31 |
| MinceR | no, i meant the whole country | Feb 03 01:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "The Democrats are being mean to me with their IMPEACHMENT HOAX!" | Feb 03 01:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "I did nothing wrong. Now here's the transcript of me asking a foreign government to investigate a political opponent or not get military aid they need to keep out further incursions into their territory!" | Feb 03 01:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: It's kind of funny that Trump hasn't bothered to pardon his former lawyers and campaign people who are in federal prison. | Feb 03 01:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Maybe it'll happen after the election. | Feb 03 01:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Outgoing presidents tend to whip out the pardon pen for their campaign donors and administration officials who went to prison. | Feb 03 01:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He wouldn't have to wait for 2024 if he won this election because his party will obviously never remove him. | Feb 03 01:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's waiting until the voters can't do anything about it. | Feb 03 01:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They'll have served most of their prison time by the time the election results are in. | Feb 03 01:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So at least there's that. | Feb 03 01:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Bill Clinton even pardoned his brother for cocaine possession. | Feb 03 01:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then after the pardon, with his record clean, he immediately got a DUI and did other stuff. | Feb 03 01:38 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Marc Rich - Wikipedia | Feb 03 01:40 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | Although Rich believed that he had relinquished his United States citizenship when he became a citizen of Spain, an appeals court ruled in 1991 that, for purposes of U.S. law, Rich remained a citizen and therefore was still subject to U.S. income taxes.[52] He also held Belgian, Bolivian,[53] Israeli, and Spanish passports.[52] | Feb 03 01:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's amazing how many citizenships money can buy. | Feb 03 01:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Rich Russians buy their way into the EU through Cyprus. | Feb 03 01:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The international community considers the northern part of the island to be territory of the Republic of Cyprus occupied by Turkish forces.[f] The occupation is viewed as illegal under international law and amounting to illegal occupation of EU territory since Cyprus became a member of the European Union.[35] | Feb 03 01:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh goodies, so the EU won't even intervene when one of its members has been invaded. | Feb 03 01:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "The EU strongly condemns the invasion of the EU in the strongest possible verbal condemnation!" | Feb 03 01:44 |
| MinceR | the EU doesn't do much of anything | Feb 03 01:44 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Looks like Wikipedia is in flux. | Feb 03 01:45 |

| danielp3344 | Sorry that took so long | Feb 03 01:49 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: I'm running openrc now | Feb 03 01:50 |
| danielp3344 | happy? | Feb 03 01:50 |
| MinceR | doesn't affect me, but it should be better for you | Feb 03 01:51 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: welll.... | Feb 03 01:52 |
| danielp3344 | It doesn't seem that different atm | Feb 03 01:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, total accident, like it was when Lenovo didn't just hide the AHCI setting in my BIOS, they write protected it so toggling it with an EFI shell program didn't work. | Feb 03 01:52 |
| danielp3344 | GNOME is having issues and networking broke | Feb 03 01:52 |
| danielp3344 | But I'm sure I'll get those fixed | Feb 03 01:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You know, because the "we hid it so idiots wouldn't change it" holds up when idiots wouldn't know what EFI shell even is. | Feb 03 01:52 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 03 01:53 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: It doesn't have any weird memory leaks | Feb 03 01:53 |
| danielp3344 | Which I was having problems with :P | Feb 03 01:53 |
| MinceR | good | Feb 03 01:53 |
| danielp3344 | meh | Feb 03 01:54 |
| *danielp3344 goes back to systemd | Feb 03 01:54 | |
| *psydroid doesn't suffer from systemd syndrome | Feb 03 01:55 | |
| *MinceR did, at work | Feb 03 01:55 | |
| MinceR | but i quit already :> | Feb 03 01:55 |
| danielp3344 | I will say I'm a bit surprised how easy it is to switch | Feb 03 01:56 |
| MinceR | in theory it just takes a reboot on Bedrock Linux :> | Feb 03 01:56 |
| MinceR | if you have different strata providing each | Feb 03 01:56 |
| danielp3344 | For me it took a few reboots | Feb 03 01:56 |
| danielp3344 | I forgot to add /etc/inittab the first time | Feb 03 01:57 |
| MinceR | well, also in practice | Feb 03 01:57 |
| MinceR | i installed raspbian on a rpi4, then hijacked it with bedrock, fetched a devuan stratum and rebooted with it providing init | Feb 03 01:57 |
| danielp3344 | I don't mind openrc, it works fine | Feb 03 01:57 |
| danielp3344 | but I do really like some of systemd's features | Feb 03 01:57 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: but hopefully I've shown I don't have any dependency problems (other than GNOME) :P | Feb 03 01:58 |
| MinceR | i'm not sure if you can be sure of that | Feb 03 01:58 |
| MinceR | i don't know what you did on what distro :> | Feb 03 01:58 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: I just installed openrc and sysvinit on parabola | Feb 03 01:59 |
| MinceR | ah, i don't know their issues | Feb 03 01:59 |
| danielp3344 | And hacked them into place | Feb 03 01:59 |
| MinceR | i know how it is on deadian | Feb 03 01:59 |
| MinceR | (it used to be that they forced you to run systemd-shim, now they just remove/block a ton of packages if you don't use systemd) | Feb 03 02:00 |
| danielp3344 | anw, I'm going to go back to watching doctor who :P | Feb 03 02:00 |
| danielp3344 | I finally finished the 2nd doctor | Feb 03 02:00 |
| danielp3344 | on to the best one | Feb 03 02:00 |
| MinceR | insert pun about having killed the 2nd doctor | Feb 03 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Whoever killed the 12th doctor, thank you. | Feb 03 02:05 |
| *psydroid summons doctor zhivago | Feb 03 02:06 | |

| DaemonFC[m] | Trump apparently spent a bunch of money on Super Bowl ads. | Feb 03 02:08 |
| MinceR | what's he advertising? | Feb 03 02:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's kind of telling that he has to spend that kind of ad time money to preach to the choir. | Feb 03 02:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | > what's he advertising? | Feb 03 02:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't know and don't care. | Feb 03 02:09 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 03 02:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Probably about how much fake shit he's accomplished as all his supporters lose their jobs and still believe in him. | Feb 03 02:09 |
| MinceR | what's the difference between ignorance and apathy? | Feb 03 02:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I actively don't care what he has to say. | Feb 03 02:10 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 03 02:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's going to be lies anyway. | Feb 03 02:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR I've come to a realization that engineers actually tend to put together their own computing flows as a set of fragile popsicle sticks and chewing gum solutions. | Feb 03 02:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So why would they bother designing anything better for someone else unless they absolutely have to? | Feb 03 02:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What becomes an entrenched standard is usually whatever is the first thing that's only barely good enough to work. | Feb 03 02:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then it spends the next however many decades being hacked to death in all kinds of horrible ways to stay relevant. | Feb 03 02:19 |
| MinceR | seems to me things that don't work at all get entrenched just fine | Feb 03 02:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | X11 is an example. | Feb 03 02:19 |
| MinceR | no, not really | Feb 03 02:20 |
| MinceR | X11 is the most powerful windowing system we have | Feb 03 02:20 |
| MinceR | pity apparently the people who maintain it don't even understand the concept | Feb 03 02:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They refused to touch the stuff that's only relevant if you are doing something involving a computer in 1990. | Feb 03 02:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they made Wayland instead. | Feb 03 02:20 |
| MinceR | and they skipped every feature poettering doesn't use on his laptop from it | Feb 03 02:20 |
| MinceR | and they tied their implementations of it to systemd | Feb 03 02:21 |
| MinceR | and, just to make extra sure that it sucks, they also forced CSD in them | Feb 03 02:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apparently he's a pretty odd guy. Needs multiseat on his laptop but doesn't care whether video games and Wine can function. | Feb 03 02:21 |
| MinceR | yeah | Feb 03 02:21 |
| MinceR | he's insane, so they have him run the asylum :> | Feb 03 02:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | > and, just to make extra sure that it sucks, they also forced CSD in them | Feb 03 02:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No, KDE uses server side decorations on Wayland. | Feb 03 02:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR I recall the first time systemd broke KDE carelessly. | Feb 03 02:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They broke it in such a way that clicking log off or shut down did nothing. | Feb 03 02:23 |
| MinceR | KDE is not mainstream anymore | Feb 03 02:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And some Fedora KDE sig people wrote new shutdown code and put it in KDE on Fedora. It got upstreamed. | Feb 03 02:24 |
| MinceR | i was referring to weston (their reference implementation) and gnome-shell (or whatever it's called) | Feb 03 02:24 |
| MinceR | they aren't going to let their hostages choose an implementation for long anyway, it's not their way | Feb 03 02:24 |
| MinceR | they're going to do to KDE what microsloth will in turn do to them | Feb 03 02:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, so many distributions are sticking to GNOME and there's really not a lot you can do to differentiate. | Feb 03 02:25 |
| MinceR | and everyone except microsloth upper management will be very surprised. | Feb 03 02:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think Unity was more about branding than anything else. They saw they couldn't make Ubuntu look much different with GNOME. | Feb 03 02:25 |
| MinceR | i thought it was about their dreams of mobile market share | Feb 03 02:26 |
| MinceR | until they realized that maintaining a DE is actually work | Feb 03 02:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then they burned it down and walked out. | Feb 03 02:26 |
| MinceR | indeed | Feb 03 02:27 |
| psydroid | will KDE still have a home on the BSDs? | Feb 03 02:32 |
| MinceR | i doubt it | Feb 03 02:33 |
| psydroid | there was a talk about KDE on FreeBSD, which I haven't wached yet | Feb 03 02:33 |
| psydroid | watched* | Feb 03 02:33 |
| MinceR | i remember when they announced KDE5 will depend on systemd | Feb 03 02:33 |
| MinceR | that doesn't sound like a project that cares whether their output will run on any BSD | Feb 03 02:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | How does one patch KDE 2 on FreeBSD? | Feb 03 02:34 |
| psydroid | yes, that's true | Feb 03 02:34 |
| MinceR | i don't know and i don't care | Feb 03 02:34 |
| MinceR | i already have a kernel that's being strangled to death with a CoC, i don't need another | Feb 03 02:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | How is it being strangled? Linus saying nice things about the incompetent pieces of shit at Intel and the Microsoft takeover? | Feb 03 02:37 |
| MinceR | they've put microsoft's people in control of the project | Feb 03 02:38 |
| MinceR | and they've put Linus on a leash so he can't protect the code from kdbusesque shit anymore | Feb 03 02:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's been a lot less of his normal Fuck Nvidia self lately. | Feb 03 02:38 |
| MinceR | and there's nobody else who will do the job | Feb 03 02:38 |
| MinceR | yes, and that's a big problem for Linux | Feb 03 02:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Dbus-broker showed that most of the real problem was dbus being a complete piece of crap in the first place. | Feb 03 02:39 |
| MinceR | it needs to be protected from the shitty ideas of people like gkh by someone | Feb 03 02:39 |
| MinceR | indeed, but Linus showed that too | Feb 03 02:39 |
| MinceR | because he could be bothered to profile dbugs | Feb 03 02:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But of course shove it into the kernel was the first option. | Feb 03 02:39 |
| MinceR | the people developing dbugs couldn't be arsed to do that | Feb 03 02:39 |
| MinceR | Linus was the only person who could stop them from shoving it into the kernel, and he can't do it anymore | Feb 03 02:40 |
| MinceR | and nobody can do it anymore | Feb 03 02:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We'll just hide the performance problems by putting it in the kernel. | Feb 03 02:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Into the kernel witb everything. Get in here, GNOME. | Feb 03 02:40 |
| MinceR | sun and microsoft did it before them :> | Feb 03 02:40 |
| psydroid | as far as I am concerned they should do all of those things | Feb 03 02:41 |
| MinceR | and it never worked | Feb 03 02:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There really wasn't much concept of kernel and user in DOS and Windows 3 and 9x. | Feb 03 02:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which is why they ran on such garbage. | Feb 03 02:41 |
| MinceR | NT ran on "just throw it in the kernel", though | Feb 03 02:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Someone recently suggested on a Firefox support forum putting Linux on a Windows 98 era computer. | Feb 03 02:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So innocent. | Feb 03 02:42 |
| psydroid | a modern Linux distribution on that kind of machine? | Feb 03 02:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah | Feb 03 02:43 |
| MinceR | is that poettering's "modern"? :> | Feb 03 02:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't think the person was old enough to remember what those PCs were like. | Feb 03 02:44 |
| psydroid | yes, "future and user proof" | Feb 03 02:44 |
| MinceR | ah, then it won't run | Feb 03 02:45 |
| MinceR | i suspect leaving out the "modern" bullshit and running up-to-date GNU/Linux with reasonable WM/etc. could work, but not with a "modern" web browser as that would by itself eat all the resources anyway | Feb 03 02:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A Windows 98 era computer couldn't run Firefox even if the OS somehow didn't use any resources. | Feb 03 02:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's how bad the web has gotten thanks to Apple amd Google. | Feb 03 02:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The most modern browser I've seen that can run on Windows 98 is an old Gecko 1.8 branch of Kmeleon with updated TLS support. | Feb 03 02:49 |
| psydroid | I did install OpenBSD on my Powermac G4 400 MHz machine with 1 GB of RAM and it booted up and generally worked faster than with Debian, but then the power supply broke so it's been sitting there for almost a year | Feb 03 02:49 |
| psydroid | that's the most important takeaway, it's the Googleweb now | Feb 03 02:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The few desktop people that were trying to make FreeBSD usable for that role gave up and rebased on void linux. | Feb 03 02:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Someone on Phoronix mentioned it's easier to install OS X on a Hackintosh than FreeBSD. | Feb 03 02:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apple's license says you may use it on an Apple labeled computer. | Feb 03 02:55 |
| psydroid | I also saw one of the NetBSD presentations with one of the developers saying they don't want to be bug for bug compatible with Linux | Feb 03 02:55 |
| MinceR | so if i put a Post-It on a PC and scribble "Apple" on it, i'm licensed to run OSuX on it? | Feb 03 02:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Just get yourself a nice label maker and print Apple and stick it to the computer. | Feb 03 02:56 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 03 02:56 |
| MinceR | if only it was actually worth doing | Feb 03 02:56 |
| MinceR | OSuX is hilarious, though | Feb 03 02:56 |
| MinceR | the UI is supposed to be the selling point, yet they couldn't hack up or steal a workable window manager | Feb 03 02:56 |
| psydroid | the spinning beach ball of death is cute | Feb 03 02:57 |
| MinceR | the settings dialog is also worth a laugh | Feb 03 02:57 |
| MinceR | the extent of support for controlling widgets from the keyboard is more sad than amusing, though | Feb 03 02:57 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: So Mandy opened Chrome on that old Macbook. | Feb 03 15:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And there's this message that says "Chrome won't get any more updates because Mac OS X 10.8 is no longer supported." that he's been ignoring forever. | Feb 03 15:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then it pings their sync and it causes his Chromebook to crash every 10 seconds or so and recover, crash, recover, crash, recover, so on. | Feb 03 15:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I ended up having to log him out of Chrome on the Mac and powerwash the Chromebook and sign him back in and recover everything for it to work again. | Feb 03 15:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If people wanted to attack some old unsupported computers, Macs would make an excellent choice because Apple just leaves people there holding the bag and on newer Macs, you can't even install a supported OS that's getting security updates (Linux). Typically, the done thing when Apple abandons a Mac is to just keep using it while it turns into even bigger piece of swiss cheese. (stinky and full of holes) | Feb 03 15:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not even like they push security updates for 10 or 15 years like Microsoft does. With a Mac, you're lucky if you get 5-6. | Feb 03 15:30 |
| MinceR | i thought the done thing was to make a pilgrimage to a crApple Store and buy an expensive, crappy replacement | Feb 03 15:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Holes in the underlying OS are bad, but there's still one thing you can do on unsupported Mac OS. Since Apple abandons to many users and is proficient mainly at creating e-waste, some developers keep unofficial versions of web browsers working on these older systems, which is better than nothing I guess. | Feb 03 15:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But that's not what you expect out of something that costs 2-3 times what a PC does. | Feb 03 15:32 |
| MinceR | also, they like to pretend that you can always just upgrade the OS | Feb 03 15:32 |
| MinceR | (which is, of course, not true) | Feb 03 15:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: After most of the enhancements Intel has made to the CPUs it put out over the last decade or so got turned off because of the security problems they caused.... | Feb 03 15:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We're basically back in 2012 or so again anyway. | Feb 03 15:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So the only way they sell new computers these days is with sabotage and having MS and Apple cut people off with software. | Feb 03 15:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Amazon rushed to implement KPTI and other mitigations to their cloud because even at a 30% performance drop, all someone theoretically needed to do was write some malware and rent a virtual server to run it on and they could have taken over everything and spied on anyone else running a virtual server in AWS. | Feb 03 15:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | > also, they like to pretend that you can always just upgrade the OS | Feb 03 15:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You can until you can't! | Feb 03 15:41 |
| MinceR | https://hugelolcdn.com/i/650328.jpg | Feb 03 15:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apple used to charge $39 for OS upgrades, but they waived it and raised the price of the Macs. Then all you heard these fucking idiots shouting was how Apple was giving them free OS upgrades. | Feb 03 15:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, how does that work? | Feb 03 15:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not like you get that many of them along the way, either What 2-3 major ones? | Feb 03 15:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Well, the funny thing is that Apple locked some people out from one upgrade that ended up working fine except that they were building their media player with a new version of SSE that made it 1% faster. | Feb 03 15:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And that was the whole reason you "needed a new Mac". | Feb 03 15:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People shared a hack that removed the code that checked for Macs without a CPU that supported that feature and found that everything worked except the media player. So they installed VLC. | Feb 03 15:44 |
| MinceR | well, you know diamond-studded swimming pools don't grow on trees, right? | Feb 03 15:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apple could have just as easily have built that media player to run 1% slower on newer Macs and tripled the number of Macs that could upgrade. | Feb 03 15:45 |
| MinceR | fleecing the sort of idiot that would buy a crApple product in the first place is much more profitable | Feb 03 15:45 |
| MinceR | probably even on the long run | Feb 03 15:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This is the kind of crap they do to manipulate people and put millions of working computers in a junkyard. | Feb 03 15:47 |
| MinceR | to be fair, those were crApple products too | Feb 03 15:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In the long run, "consumers" will kill everything on the planet, because they're so easy to manipulate that nonsense like this makes them unload $3,000 on another Mac. | Feb 03 15:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even if something legitimately came along that meant no new Mac OS update after that one for those systems, that would have given the people that had them another 2 years with a working computer. | Feb 03 15:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apple resorts to some egregious bullshit to sell more stuff. | Feb 03 15:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Fuck charging cables. The EU should look into this. | Feb 03 15:50 |

| MinceR | and plastic a good thing | Feb 03 15:59 |
| danielp3344 | I've never touched one so I don't know if it actually works though :P | Feb 03 15:59 |

| DaemonFC[m] | He shot them and the state convicted him for aggravated murder. | Feb 03 17:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The state Supreme Court reversed it and said that he acted in self defense because it appeared to a reasonable person that it was a home invasion. | Feb 03 17:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And then the legislature enacted a law to that effect. | Feb 03 17:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The police unions were fucking pissed. | Feb 03 17:28 |
| danielp3344 | That's fortunate | Feb 03 17:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They claimed that the law "encourages people to shoot at police officers", even though it hasn't. | Feb 03 17:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What it has done is stop them from doing no knock warrants without their uniforms and badges on. | Feb 03 17:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And now they also shout "POLICE! SEARCH WARRANT!". | Feb 03 17:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like, how hard is that? | Feb 03 17:29 |
| danielp3344 | That's also fortunate | Feb 03 17:29 |
| MinceR | 03 172506 < DaemonFC[m]> Oh yeah, that's a straight shot to death row in Indiana. | Feb 03 17:30 |
| MinceR | not if your army is powerful enough | Feb 03 17:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The reason the cops oppose anything that regulates their behavior is because they're an armed roving gang of state-sanctioned criminals. | Feb 03 17:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And they're used to doing whatever they want. | Feb 03 17:30 |
| MinceR | the only way you can defend yourself against states is with an army of your own | Feb 03 17:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Indiana actually does have a State Defense Force. | Feb 03 17:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It takes over the duties of the National Guard if the National Guard is activated for the federal government. | Feb 03 17:31 |
| MinceR | it's interesting how the biggest proponents of regulating _other_ people's behavior are always so opposed to having their _own_ behavior regulated, isn't it? | Feb 03 17:31 |
| MinceR | the "social contract" is a fraud | Feb 03 17:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't recall signing that particular contract. | Feb 03 17:34 |

| oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: Australia we still do have no knock warrants but the person doing them will be in uniform if it at night uniform with embedded lighting. No requirement to shout Police Search Warrent but it must be clear that the person entering without permission holding weapon is quite possible police by straight up appearance. | Feb 03 17:37 |
| -->smnthermes (976c22869c@xmpp.snopyta.org) has joined #techrights | Feb 03 17:40 | |
| oiaohm | The funnest one on Australian police history for a raid gone wrong is where the police did yell out for entry, did have a warrant, was in full uniform and the first police office though door end up dead by flying knife from a deaf person with poor vision and it was classed as self defense because the police offices had not waiting on the door bell. | Feb 03 17:43 |
| oiaohm | This has lead to first in with a police raid person wanting the most gear possible. | Feb 03 17:45 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The only reasons anyone use Macs are some combo of, 1. Snob 2. Developing iPhone apps for money and there's no other way to use the SDK. 3. Windows 10 is infinite diarrhea backing up out of the pipes and they can't figure out how to use Linux. The Mac spent most of its existence in such obscurity that Apple stock was both worthless, and the company almost failed. Since there was no "device" that needed a Mac in order | Feb 03 20:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | to develop software and it was just as unstable as Windows 98, if not worse, and it cost a fortune, and you couldn't even share a file on a floppy disk with a PC user, there was simply no reason to own one unless you were a complete and total idiot. | Feb 03 20:45 |

| MinceR | i don't know what zstd is | Feb 03 21:40 |
| Guest57050 | thanks for those links ... will take a look | Feb 03 21:40 |
| Guest57050 | zstd is the new facebook-backed compression method. I'm shocked how many distros are using it. | Feb 03 21:41 |

| XRevan86 | it's just compression | Feb 03 21:43 |

| Guest57050 | yes, it's open source, but the way it's been brought in hasn't been with lots of articles etc everywhere, and facebook aren't trustworthy, just as github/ms isn't | Feb 03 21:44 |
| XRevan86 | Compression isn't encryption though | Feb 03 21:44 |
| XRevan86 | It's just there to compress with as fast decompression as possible | Feb 03 21:45 |
| Guest57050 | yes, but it's facebook/github being very involved with overall system a lot more | Feb 03 21:45 |
| Guest57050 | I'm noticing the system is slower on average, as it scans a lot before doing that marginally faster install/update | Feb 03 21:47 |

| MinceR | this seems to be merely a list of distros providing it | Feb 03 21:48 |
| XRevan86 | That's just a list of distributions that have that package in | Feb 03 21:49 |
| XRevan86 | their repos | Feb 03 21:49 |
| MinceR | it doesn't mean they've switched to compressing their packages (or anything else) with it | Feb 03 21:49 |
| XRevan86 | thanks, cat, for splitting my message | Feb 03 21:49 |
| Guest57050 | ... and maintainers | Feb 03 21:49 |
| MinceR | such changes generally aren't made lightly | Feb 03 21:49 |
| Guest57050 | cat? | Feb 03 21:49 |
| XRevan86 | Yes, a cat walked through my laptop and pressed Enter | Feb 03 21:49 |
| MinceR | in fact, it isn't even meaningful in some cases | Feb 03 21:49 |
| Guest57050 | you have a cat? lol | Feb 03 21:49 |
| XRevan86 | while I was typing with an external keyboard | Feb 03 21:49 |
| MinceR | for example Gentoo and its derivatives (like Funtoo) generally use ebuilds as their packages, which are uncompressed text files that describe how to get the sources and how to build them along with metadata | Feb 03 21:50 |
| MinceR | and the sources are generally left in their original form | Feb 03 21:50 |
| Guest57050 | yes, but e.g. arch brought it in very fast, and didn't really tell users ... the same with adding in qt5 bloat recently too ... am seeing people not at all pleased with that, who are running gtk systems | Feb 03 21:50 |
| MinceR | arch jumps on anything new without much though | Feb 03 21:50 |
| MinceR | t | Feb 03 21:50 |
| MinceR | i don't recommend arch to anyone | Feb 03 21:50 |
| XRevan86 | I've only heard of Arch switching to zstd just recently | Feb 03 21:50 |
| Guest57050 | yes, I'm seeing arch outright lie as well eg that the qt5 stuff was 'an oversight', lol | Feb 03 21:51 |
| XRevan86 | I'm not a user and I heard about that %) https://www.archlinux.org/news/now-using-zstandard-instead-of-xz-for-package-compression/ | Feb 03 21:51 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.archlinux.org | Arch Linux - News: Now using Zstandard instead of xz for package compression | Feb 03 21:51 | |
| MinceR | and avoiding systemd can be something of a heuristic for this, as that too is something new and shiny that hipsters are all over even though it isn't anywhere near maturity | Feb 03 21:51 |
| Guest57050 | yes, it was just a paragraph, and already in use | Feb 03 21:51 |
| XRevan86 | What Qt5 bloat are you talking about? | Feb 03 21:51 |
| MinceR | be wary of arch derivatives though | Feb 03 21:51 |
| MinceR | (like artix) | Feb 03 21:51 |
| Guest57050 | yes, ppl think systemd and zstd and the latest whatever is best, but it's so not | Feb 03 21:51 |
| Guest57050 | qt5 added into gst-plugins-good | Feb 03 21:52 |
| Guest57050 | arch derivatives? you mean manjaro? | Feb 03 21:52 |
| Guest57050 | I was going to look into artix, eek ... won't bother. | Feb 03 21:52 |
| MinceR | manjaro, artix, parabola | Feb 03 21:53 |
| XRevan86 | So you're a toolkitophobe %) | Feb 03 21:53 |
| Guest57050 | Right .. .even parabola? | Feb 03 21:53 |
| MinceR | dunno which of those don't force systemd on users, except i know artix doesn't | Feb 03 21:53 |
| XRevan86 | I wonder what plugins need gtk and qt for | Feb 03 21:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | > I'm noticing the system is slower on average, as it scans a lot before doing that marginally faster install/update | Feb 03 21:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I noticed RPM got a lot faster with zstd in Fedora. | Feb 03 21:53 |
| Guest57050 | yes, I can see artix is sysd-free, on the link, and this new obarun I'm seeing ... I saw that yesterday and looks a bit complex | Feb 03 21:53 |
| MinceR | maybe they have settings dialogs | Feb 03 21:53 |
| XRevan86 | And you should keep in mind that GTK is much more controversial in their decisions than Qt. | Feb 03 21:54 |
| Guest57050 | yes, it's odd mixing qt/gtk, especially in gst-plugins-good ... many prefer to separate those things. I certainly avoid qt5. | Feb 03 21:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It depends on what setting you use. | Feb 03 21:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you're just going for similar compression to DEFLATE, zstd is very fast. | Feb 03 21:54 |
| Guest57050 | I've not tried fedora, but am reading the pclinuxos forum and they're saying it's faster too. maybe it's something else on arch! | Feb 03 21:54 |
| Guest57050 | gtk more controversial? | Feb 03 21:55 |
| Guest57050 | Defo worried that the main Mate guy is now working at canonical. | Feb 03 21:55 |
| MinceR | gtk and qt both integrated half a window manager due to wayland | Feb 03 21:55 |
| MinceR | gtk also tossed widgets used by the application it owes its existence to: gimp | Feb 03 21:55 |
| Guest57050 | okay | Feb 03 21:56 |
| MinceR | OTOH qt5 has 2 web browsers built in | Feb 03 21:56 |
| *XRevan86 went to check some stuff about zlib, and it hosts its git repo on GitHub… | Feb 03 21:56 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | XZ was painful in RPMs. | Feb 03 21:56 |
| MinceR | which is probably the reason why its such a PITA to build | Feb 03 21:56 |
| Guest57050 | didn't know qt had web browsers in it! | Feb 03 21:56 |
| MinceR | it has QtWebKit and QtWebEngine | Feb 03 21:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I noticed that DeltaRPMs got a lot faster too. | Feb 03 21:56 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: No, it has one, the other is deeply deprecated and has been splitted out. | Feb 03 21:56 |
| MinceR | the former is WebKit and the latter is Blink | Feb 03 21:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So maybe it's not all zstd. Maybe other stuff improved around the time it went in. | Feb 03 21:57 |
| MinceR | (or perhaps more accurately it's chromium) | Feb 03 21:57 |
| MinceR | well, technically there's no requirement for a package manager to use the same compressor for all packages | Feb 03 21:57 |
| Guest57050 | I see (re qt web browsers) | Feb 03 21:57 |
| Guest57050 | which distros do you guys use? | Feb 03 21:58 |
| XRevan86 | Guest57050: I can say about Martin Wimpress that he's a nice guy. | Feb 03 21:58 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: dpkg sure hasn't. | Feb 03 21:58 |
| Guest57050 | I've read stuff I think on the Ubuntu Mate forum and he seemed great, yes. Just hope canonical take his orders, not the other way round, lol | Feb 03 21:59 |
| Guest57050 | Mate, I think, is awesome ... system is nice and light, but it does the basics really well | Feb 03 22:00 |
| MinceR | i use slackware, bedrock (with void and/or devuan strata) and openbsd | Feb 03 22:00 |
| Guest57050 | omg, wow, that's quite a resume | Feb 03 22:00 |
| MinceR | oh, there's also a raspbian stratum on my rpi4 | Feb 03 22:00 |
| MinceR | oh, and funtoo on my tablet, but i rarely use it | Feb 03 22:00 |
| Guest57050 | you've clearly got great linux abilities! | Feb 03 22:01 |
| XRevan86 | Guest57050: All he's doing is to make GNU/Linux more user friendly, starting with his Ubuntu MATE project. If Canonical starts pressing him, you'd know, because that'd be the last day of Ubuntu MATE. | Feb 03 22:01 |
| Guest57050 | great to hear. I had a feeling that he's one of the good guys. | Feb 03 22:01 |
| Guest57050 | so it's good that he'll give canonical a good telling! | Feb 03 22:01 |
| Guest57050 | I'm noticing a lot more people using Mate | Feb 03 22:02 |
| MinceR | and devuan on my vps with no bedrock | Feb 03 22:02 |
| XRevan86 | Guest57050: I personally use two and a half distros: openSUSE, Debian and Devuan. As you can tell I don't have a strong opinion on systemd. | Feb 03 22:02 |
| Guest57050 | well done | Feb 03 22:03 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: bedrock? | Feb 03 22:03 |
| Guest57050 | no probs, it's up to everyone themselves | Feb 03 22:03 |
| MinceR | XRevan86: https://bedrocklinux.org/ | Feb 03 22:03 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-bedrocklinux.org | Bedrock Linux | Feb 03 22:03 | |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Ah, right. | Feb 03 22:04 |
| XRevan86 | I forgot that exists. | Feb 03 22:04 |
| Guest57050 | cool ... covers everything, and such a simple piggyback install! | Feb 03 22:04 |
| Guest57050 | can use any init as well | Feb 03 22:05 |
| Guest57050 | if you know what you're doing, that must be really cool to use | Feb 03 22:05 |
| XRevan86 | Anyway, I really don't see the harm behind zstd, it doesn't really give Facebook any leverage. And GitHub… already has us by our necks. Even with zlib. | Feb 03 22:08 |
| *XRevan86 went to check LZ4: https://lz4.github.io/lz4/ | Feb 03 22:09 | |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-lz4.github.io | LZ4 - Extremely fast compression | Feb 03 22:09 | |
| Guest57050 | it's a worry ... I saw someone saying it's facebook using linux users as guinea pigs, so they can improve things for themselves (zstd helps them run fb stuff better) | Feb 03 22:09 |
| Guest57050 | I worry about the corporate creep | Feb 03 22:09 |
| XRevan86 | Guest57050: That's just the nature of free software. | Feb 03 22:10 |
| XRevan86 | appropriated by a corporation | Feb 03 22:10 |
| XRevan86 | If they've picked LZ4 and started contributing to it, there wouldn't be that much of a difference, except with who's making the release bumps and accepts merge requests. | Feb 03 22:11 |
| XRevan86 | It's not like it's HackLang. | Feb 03 22:11 |
| Guest57050 | personally I avoid corporate to the max ... and hopefully linux devs choose privacy and not corporate. linux is all over the world on servers; desktop users need privacy, or I see no point in using linux ... they may as well be on windows, lol, and leave linux to those who like privacy | Feb 03 22:12 |
| XRevan86 | Guest57050: That's more in the realm "should we make our multi-user chat in WhatsApp or in XMPP/IRC/Matrix?" than just some compressor | Feb 03 22:13 |
| Guest57050 | okay | Feb 03 22:13 |
| XRevan86 | If Facebook comes and says "now we're adding telemetry into zstd", it will be immediately forked or abandoned. It's not that complicated to be lock-in'able. | Feb 03 22:14 |
| Guest57050 | that's the worry, about where it would lead, and it was the way e.g. arch brought it in ... no real announcement, and just people discovering it running, and then an announcement paragraph a couple of weeks later | Feb 03 22:15 |
| Guest57050 | doesn't seem to be lots of articles ... just suddenly it's everywhere | Feb 03 22:15 |
| Guest57050 | as long as linux devs dump it the second fb try anything, that's awesome | Feb 03 22:15 |
| XRevan86 | Guest57050: They probably just didn't bother at first, and then decided that it is indeed worth an announcement. | Feb 03 22:17 |
| Guest57050 | odd crossing hell and high water to get away from ms, yet here ms/fb etc is | Feb 03 22:17 |
| Guest57050 | maybe, yes | Feb 03 22:17 |
| XRevan86 | As that's under the hood and doesn't break anything, like most changes in Arch are. | Feb 03 22:17 |
| Guest57050 | but they seem really dishonest, when I see the lies | Feb 03 22:17 |
| Guest57050 | that was a bit strong maybe, lol, but it's just cool to be more open and direct with users I think | Feb 03 22:19 |
| XRevan86 | Guest57050: Looks like Robin Broda thought the same, after 35-27=8 days :) | Feb 03 22:20 |
| Guest57050 | Robin Broda? | Feb 03 22:20 |
| XRevan86 | Guest57050: The name attributed to the announcement %) | Feb 03 22:20 |
| Guest57050 | Yes, I just saw | Feb 03 22:21 |
| Guest57050 | that was a couple of weeks after it was being used | Feb 03 22:21 |
| XRevan86 | Wait, there was https://www.archlinux.org/news/required-update-to-recent-libarchive/ | Feb 03 22:21 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.archlinux.org | Arch Linux - News: Required update to recent libarchive | Feb 03 22:21 | |
| XRevan86 | so there was an announcement beforehand | Feb 03 22:21 |
| Guest57050 | no, I was running arch (an installer) before xmas, and it was on my system at least mid december | Feb 03 22:22 |
| XRevan86 | > 2019-10-16 October | Feb 03 22:22 |
| Guest57050 | it was supposed to be 27th dec when zstd formally began being used | Feb 03 22:23 |
| Guest57050 | I don't know about october, but could well be | Feb 03 22:23 |
| Guest57050 | I remember reading that on the 27th it would start, but I could see it installed already | Feb 03 22:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Fedora is usually pretty solid despite being a testbed aimed at developers and power users. | Feb 03 22:25 |
| XRevan86 | Guest57050: That announcement was two months before | Feb 03 22:25 |
| XRevan86 | To make sure everyone's able to unhardcode xzip evidently. | Feb 03 22:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But Linux 5.3.11+ and Linux 5.4.x really shit the bed on Intel systems. | Feb 03 22:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Linux 5.5 is looking better from what I can tell. | Feb 03 22:25 |
| Guest57050 | yes, seeing kernel issues quite badly ... about to try out pclinuxos and that is running the latest (normally I use LTS) | Feb 03 22:25 |
| Guest57050 | hopefully they fix the kernel, as am seeing ppl say it's an easy fix, one line of code, but not being done | Feb 03 22:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Occasionally you get an entire kernel series that's just a complete lemon. | Feb 03 22:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And that happened in 5.4. | Feb 03 22:26 |
| Guest57050 | weird. maybe the 2 ms kernel ppl, and heavens know what other corporate code! | Feb 03 22:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I never used PCLinuxOS. | Feb 03 22:27 |
| Guest57050 | yes? | Feb 03 22:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mandrake/Mandriva, Red Hat Linux, Fedora, Ubuntu are what I mostly have used over the years. | Feb 03 22:27 |
| Guest57050 | it's sysV, and has a remaster function ... I'd tried it a year or so ago, but install issues, so fingers crossed | Feb 03 22:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Debian 6 was awful and way too complicated for a desktop role. | Feb 03 22:27 |
| Guest57050 | I haven't used those distros, but pclinuxos is based on mandrake | Feb 03 22:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you told Sabayon to install a package in 2007 it would be finishing up right about now. | Feb 03 22:28 |
| Guest57050 | have run mint, then neptune for a while ... had some debian/kernel issues there | Feb 03 22:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mint is not good. I don't like Mint. | Feb 03 22:28 |
| Guest57050 | so to manjaro, then arch installer for a while ... actually runs best of all, and no breakage | Feb 03 22:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Fedora has a Cinnamon spin. | Feb 03 22:28 |
| Guest57050 | mint seemed to change about 2 years ago, to become a bit more complex, less beginner-friendly | Feb 03 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The quality of the spins is hit or miss but Cinnamon probably works fine. | Feb 03 22:29 |
| Guest57050 | I tried fedora once, but it really messed up my hard drive, lol | Feb 03 22:29 |
| Guest57050 | cinnamon's nice though, definitely | Feb 03 22:29 |
| -->chomwitt (~chomwitt@2a02:587:dc34:6300:3801:76c2:bfe0:1077) has joined #techrights | Feb 03 22:29 | |
| Guest57050 | really polished | Feb 03 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's closer to GNOME and the apps are GTK. So Cinnamon is normally in better shape than KDE. | Feb 03 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Ubuntu could have apparently killer poked the bios on the laptop I use now. | Feb 03 22:30 |
| Guest57050 | yes, definitely. prefer gtk. kde's a lot better than it was, much lighter, but so many moving parts | Feb 03 22:30 |
| Guest57050 | oh no ... that's bad | Feb 03 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was just lucky that I always used Fedora on it since Ubuntu didn't have a wifi driver when I was testing it. | Feb 03 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Ubuntu packaged the Intel SPI driver which would cause the firmware to become read only. | Feb 03 22:31 |
| Guest57050 | yes, the infamous wifi driver ... surprising all distros don't just bundle that one | Feb 03 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some people said that it also made it impossible to boot their laptop again. | Feb 03 22:31 |
| Guest57050 | ubuntu need to give their heads a shake | Feb 03 22:31 |
| XRevan86 | Guest57050: Back to toolkits, I've dealt with GTK a lot and with Qt slightly, and I can tell that Qt is a lot more reliable as it doesn't fall apart so much with new releases. And from an UX perspective, Qt5 themes don't fall apart as well. QGtk2Style is still available even, I use it. | Feb 03 22:32 |
| Guest57050 | yes, saw that a while back, ppl's machines borked ... shocking | Feb 03 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's what happens when you blindly build staging drivers without the slightest idea of what you're trying to do. | Feb 03 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But that's Canonical for you. | Feb 03 22:32 |

| -->smnthermes (976c22869c@xmpp.snopyta.org) has joined #techrights | Feb 03 22:33 | |
| Guest57050 | so what are you going to do about the bios? | Feb 03 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Fedora includes some when they enable a ton of hardware or something, but jt does not build all of staging, and this is why. | Feb 03 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Leave it alone. Considering Lenovo never fixed it anyway. | Feb 03 22:33 |
| Guest57050 | machine's running okay though? | Feb 03 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I bought my husband a Chromebook with the Linux subsystem. He loves it. | Feb 03 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, other than Linux 5.4 and 5.3.11+ being shit. | Feb 03 22:34 |
| Guest57050 | oh no, we keep hitting topics where I have such a different opinion ... sorry. | Feb 03 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I version locked her at 5.3.10. It works fine. I'll remove the lock when my GPU power management works again. | Feb 03 22:35 |

| Guest57050 | sorry | Feb 03 22:35 |

| Guest57050 | fuck 'em | Feb 03 22:38 |
| XRevan86 | The home of the propaganda law is St. Petersburg, which is where I am, so that's what I thought of. | Feb 03 22:38 |
| Guest57050 | life's too short for all the pc/non-pc stuff | Feb 03 22:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's like saying Christians are less unpleasant than Muslims because they don't send you a bomb in the mail when you draw Jesus. | Feb 03 22:39 |
| XRevan86 | The Chechña situation is completely outside the framework of… law. | Feb 03 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even by Russian standards. | Feb 03 22:39 |
| XRevan86 | And there are Muslim states in Russia that are nothing like Chechña. | Feb 03 22:39 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Even by Russian standards, yes. And that's saying something. | Feb 03 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Everyone in Chechnya looks like they fuck goats anyway. | Feb 03 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What's with the beards? | Feb 03 22:40 |
| XRevan86 | But I don't know enough about Chechña to competently discuss their situation, which is pretty complicated, also because of the Russo-Chechen war(s) | Feb 03 22:42 |

| XRevan86 | and the path of pacification that's been chosen is… money and a cart-blanche | Feb 03 22:44 |
| XRevan86 | also the most autonomous region with a person in charge who's building a cult of personality heavy even by Putin's standards. | Feb 03 22:45 |
| XRevan86 | The cult of Putin's personality in Chechña is also backed up, of course. | Feb 03 22:45 |

| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: For instance, a neighbouring region to Chechña, Ingushetia, is also dominantly Muslim, but I haven't heard stories like that from there. | Feb 03 22:51 |
| XRevan86 | What I do hear about is rallies, because Ingushetia is giving a strip of land to Chechña for no benefits to Ingushetia | Feb 03 22:51 |
| XRevan86 | and that the people involved in the rallies are being officially recognised as extremists | Feb 03 22:52 |
| XRevan86 | by the authorities | Feb 03 22:52 |
| psydroid | what about Dagestan and Abkhazia? | Feb 03 22:59 |
| XRevan86 | Abkhazia is not part of Russia technically | Feb 03 23:00 |
| XRevan86 | and it's predominantly Christian, I just checked | Feb 03 23:01 |
| XRevan86 | But I can't think of anything these regions can be infamous for. | Feb 03 23:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Dagestan is where the Boston Marathon bombers were from. | Feb 03 23:05 |
| XRevan86 | '; | Feb 03 23:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Including the one that got the death sentence and then apologized to the victims after the sentencing. | Feb 03 23:06 |

| XRevan86 | > As children, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar lived in Tokmok, Kyrgyzstan. In 2001, the family moved to Makhachkala, Dagestan, in the Russian Federation. In April 2002, the Tsarnaev parents and Dzhokhar went to the United States on a 90-day tourist visa. Anzor Tsarnaev applied for asylum, citing fears of deadly persecution due to his ties to Chechnya | Feb 03 23:09 |
| XRevan86 | As far as I know none of those countries are fundamentalist states, with Chechña as the closest to that. | Feb 03 23:11 |

| XRevan86 | I wonder where I can learn more about women and gay rights in Dagestan… I am not aware of any controversies at least. | Feb 03 23:14 |
| XRevan86 | Dagestan is the closest after Chechña to have the kind of traditional Caucasian culture, as far as I know | Feb 03 23:16 |
