matey

what people dont realise is, that capitalism predictably devolves into monopoly and attempts to control society by any means necessary

matey

free software is incompatible with THAT. but not capitalism "per se"

matey

but that is what capitalism will continue to do, just like there was never going to be a point where hitler said

Apr 03 00:02

matey

"you know what? im tired of taking over europe. i think ill just find a nice jewish woman to settle down with and stop all this megalomania."

Apr 03 00:02

matey

its never going to happen!

Apr 03 00:02

matey

also, fuck mike godwin. hes a spineless nazi shit.

Apr 03 00:03

matey

though MOSTLY thats tongue in cheek.

Apr 03 00:03

psydruid

the services revenue model never seems to have taken off either except for very few companies such as Red Hat

Apr 03 00:05

psydruid

if people can download and use free software for free (gratis), they aren't going to pay for it for the most part

Apr 03 00:06

matey

capitalism pushes this imaginary image of capitalism, where if a bunch of people get together and try to figure out how to be more independent

Apr 03 00:06

matey

capitalism itself will not send people to try to destroy that

*koo5_ has quit (Quit: http://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere.)

matey

but thats what capitalism does with such things. every. single. time.

matey

co-opt it and/or destroy it. as if turning something into a cynical piece-of-shit meaningless version of itself is really different from "destruction"

*koo5_ (~quassel@51.140.155.227) has joined #techrights

psydruid

the status quo must be protected because too much is at stake

matey

it turns handcrafts into sweatshops, and high-tech industries into more sweatshops

matey

it really turns every fucking thing into sweatshops-- like amazon and its warehouses

matey

if capitalism was called sweatshopism, people might not like it as much

matey

of course if capitalism was called sweatshopism, it would be a more accurate name

matey

not everything capitalist is sweatshop-related of course

psydruid

sweatshops built on free software, that's freedom

matey

i mean, it takes a long time for EVERYTHING to be turned into sweatshop labour

matey

of every store i go to, right?

matey

the biggest most corporate one is the one that has trouble making change.

matey

EVERY OTHER PLACE i go to can make change, and keep their major appliances working

matey

why? because when something breaks they have to fix it

matey

and when they run out of cash, they send one of their paid staff to the bank to get more.

matey

but the biggest most corporate place i go (which i avoid, except when i cant) cant make change

matey

theyre too cheap to fix things or send someone to the bank

matey

theyre always understaffed, so they have no one they can send

matey

theyd have to close the place.

matey

they need more employees just to carry out the basic functions of the business

matey

but they prefer to have an insufficient number of people doing their job plus several others

matey

and then they berate customers over not doing the job of the business

matey

like its the customers job to play banker, not the buinesses job to send someone to the bank

matey

we need ones! fuck you, send someone to the bank. do i look like wells fargo to you?

Apr 03 00:13

matey

when i need something, what do they do? NOTHING

Apr 03 00:13

matey

theyre too cheap

Apr 03 00:13

matey

why so cheap? undercutting places that give a shit

Apr 03 00:14

psydruid

free software was on the path towards enabling people to exercise their freedoms, but then it had to be destroyed because too much freedom is not good for those same people

Apr 03 00:14

bnchs

the biggest joke in microsoft vs code

Apr 03 00:14

bnchs

they have an extension for vim keybinds

Apr 03 00:15

matey

microsoft vim

Apr 03 00:15

matey

/me has vi, but not vim (i recommend jed)

Apr 03 00:15

matey

jeds not going to cut it for serious vim/emacs users obviously

matey

but i like it better than vi

psydruid

at this point I'm even questioning the validity of the IT/software industry

matey

you should always question industry

matey

the more industrial medicine gets, the more they overwork doctors and nurses and the number of accidents increase

matey

did they take off the wrong leg? probably industry.

matey

the more industrial music gets, the more they suck the dynamic range out of music, take singers like britney spears and

matey

its not like she cant sing. its just that shes more marketable the way she is.

matey

blame industry.

psydruid

if all the jobs that need to be done could be done with a fraction of the developers currently out there, how are the other not so lucky ones going to make a living?

bnchs

yes its one thing i like

matey

industry turns the amazon into wildfires, and it turns vast lands full of tribes into reservations full of alcoholics

bnchs

glorified microsoft vim in a electron app

bnchs

takes up 500% more RAM than the real vim

matey

if all the jobs that need to be done could be done with a fraction of the developers currently out there, how are the other not so lucky ones going to make a living? <- and if capitalism prefers inefficiency and unreliability to a realistic idea of how many people we need on a certain task

matey

how is the entire concept not a fucking farce?

psydruid

that's what I mean

matey

the software industry makes money from revinting the wheel over nad over and over again

matey

but its not enough to reinvent the wheel and LIE and say its new

matey

oh no

matey

you also have to DESTROY all the other fucking wheels with lies and skullduggery

matey

because competition is (by definition) BAD for monopoly

matey

and monopoly is what capitalism REALLY wants

psydruid

and do we pretend to live in this world of make believe or would we rather live in reality

matey

and do we pretend to live in this world of make believe or would we rather live in reality <- theres no easy answer to that question

matey

the not-so-easy answer is that we live in a cult until we cant anymore

matey

and then things get interesting.

matey

but the biding-time-in-a-cult timeframe can last decades

matey

105 years ago russia overthrew feudalism

psydruid

I'm thinking of doing something not in IT or software at all

matey

<psydruid> I'm thinking of doing something not in IT or software at all <- then what?

psydruid

because what is the whole purpose of it

psydruid

I have many skills

matey

i mean i can answer that at least

activelow

i'll consider jed editor; seems practical

matey

i think jed is too "bloated" for you

Apr 03 00:23

matey

but id be happy if you were promoting it as something useful to you

Apr 03 00:23

matey

do check it out

Apr 03 00:23

activelow

why would jed be bloated?

Apr 03 00:24

matey

<psydruid> because what is the whole purpose of it <- i dont think information technology stops being useful when you (hypothetically) get rid of industry and capitalism

Apr 03 00:24

matey

if anything, tech needs people who arent married to the industry, more than ever before

Apr 03 00:24

psydruid

I would just limit software developments to things that benefit me and people within my circle

matey

thats what free software was

psydruid

I mean, look at MinceR with all of his knowledge and skills

matey

but it didnt see the fatal compromises it was making

matey

<psydruid> I mean, look at MinceR with all of his knowledge and skills <- i know very little about his skills, but he says some things that point to being skilled

psydruid

and they chew and spit someone like him out

matey

im not so much a sceptic as unfamiliar

matey

<psydruid> and they chew and spit someone like him out <- industry has no use for independent thinkers

matey

actually thats half true

matey

step 1 exploit them

matey

step 2 keep them in line

matey

if step 2 fails, step 3 is destroy them

matey

sept 19 2019

matey

or was it 16th?

matey

i think it was sept 16th

matey

some say 11

matey

either way "free software 9/11" fits imo

Apr 03 00:28

matey

the movement does less now to protect itself

Apr 03 00:28

psydruid

sometime around an anniversary at least

Apr 03 00:28

matey

rms probably doesnt realise that sept 16th is his half-birthday

Apr 03 00:29

matey

he turns n.5 on that day

Apr 03 00:29

matey

but no one keeps track of half-birthdays, because its silly to do so

Apr 03 00:29

matey

even birthdays themselves are a little bit silly

Apr 03 00:30

matey

happy birthday gnu, heres stephen fry (love him really) with a mac (what?)

Apr 03 00:31

matey

they swear the mac was running gnu

bnchs

gnu

matey

im sceptical.

psydruid

gnu/microsoft

matey

hai na

bnchs

well macs can run gnu/linux

psydruid

gnu/apple

matey

even with non-free drivers, getting a mac to work with gnu/linux tends to be painful

matey

with gnewsense though? or trisquel?

psydruid

they end up working eventually

matey

thats good

psydruid

and then they stop working again as developers abandon them

matey

yeah

psydruid

for new shiny macs

matey

they must have found the goldilocks version of gnewsense or whatever for the macbook fry was using

matey

though id just as soon believe they lied to cover up the fact that...

matey

i mean i dont KNOW that, but thats just it

matey

how would we know

matey

they didnt document it except after the fact when people were like "wait..."

matey

but the thing is-- if i show that video to anyone

matey

the first thing theyre going to ask me is if gnu will run on a mac

matey

"well..."

matey

"theres always a chance"

matey

ever since then gnu has become more about marketing, a bit less about really fighting

Apr 03 00:36

matey

and the mandatory happiness

matey

id love to hear some gnu developers bitch and moan about how much theyve tried to be more free, only to have the industry fuck them over

matey

but that might "alienate" someone

psydruid

more like a "bitchfight"

matey

if the truth alienates people, the people alienated by truth can fuck themselves.

matey

its not like we are shit-talking microsoft just to be dicks

Apr 03 00:38

matey

theyve spent the past 20-40 years fucking over everything that moves

Apr 03 00:38

matey

its a legitimate gripe-- get used to it!

Apr 03 00:38

matey

the struggle for freedom isnt the hold-hands-and-sing drumming circle for freedom

bnchs

matey: you know what else fucked everything that moves?

matey

if you want the unitarian universalists, theyre dotted all over the place if thats your idea of progress

psydruid

why do governments and companies go along with the narrative that their interests are aligned with Microsoft's?

matey

<bnchs> matey: you know what else fucked everything that moves? <- bill gates and jeff epstein?

bnchs

correct!

matey

probably not just a coincidence

matey

<psydruid> why do governments and companies go along with the narrative that their interests are aligned with Microsoft's? <- because at the end of the day, all they give a shit about is monopoly and control

matey

and theyre all in that fight (against each other) together.

matey

because if theres one group of people theyre more against than each other...

matey

its the rest of us.

DaemonFC

Microsoft is like General Motors only instead of a bankruptcy, there's just a perpetual bailout.

matey

in other words, microsoft and google may be out to destroy each other

DaemonFC

If General Motors was left on its own, it would have gone under because people wanted good products and had access to them, and were buying them, and that's why GM failed.

matey

but other than THAT they have common goals.

DaemonFC

But uh oh, here comes the government.

matey

most people and microsoft only have common goals if microsoft lies to them constantly

DaemonFC

Lets GM screw their workers, their creditors, everyone.

matey

in other words, they only THINK they have common goals, but theyre mistaken

matey

thats co-opting and exploitation

DaemonFC

Puts a bunch of taxpayer money from people who chose not to buy GM cars into the company.

matey

its deliberate

DaemonFC

Then left them with the same corrupt idiots that they had all along, so that it could go under again someday.

matey

so google and microsoft are mortal enemies, for a common cause

matey

us peons dont even share the cause.

DaemonFC

GM keeps working, lobbying, against having to make products people want to buy.

DaemonFC

Because they know they'll get bailed out again.

matey

so google and microsoft will happily join hands against us. they can kill each other later.

matey

granted its never that simple

matey

they also try to destroy each other every single day

matey

while holding hands.

DaemonFC

Microoft is a little different. They've been making it aggravating to leave them and things like "Secure Boot" certainly help with that.

matey

and conspiring against a better world

psydruid

why are so few people willing to get out there to destroy Google and Microsoft?

DaemonFC

Because it's like a 20 step process that's impossible to document to get Windows off of a computer now.

matey

why are so few people willing to get out there to destroy Google and Microsoft? <- they know its hopeless

matey

and theyre half-right.

DaemonFC

Lenovo released a guide on how to install Debian and it was a PDF with dozens of pages of step-by-step instructions.

DaemonFC

Half of it was firmware-related. :/

matey

i know what i know from my own experience-- as a kid i was like OOH, TECH-- BETTER FUTURE! YAY HUMANITY

matey

i shit you not

psydruid

you can find interesting articles if you look for "put $ENTITY out of business"

matey

i went through a technoutopian phase

matey

as a child.

DaemonFC

Microsoft wants all of this stuff that causes compatibility problems and bugs on by default precisely because it adds a hill to climb.

matey

i mean we had pieces of space stations and spyplanes

matey

and with them, stories of triumph of good over evil, and INNOVA~1 over all odds

Apr 03 00:46

matey

what CANT technology do? its the only way to escape the solar system when it blows

Apr 03 00:46

matey

but i got tired of shitty wars and (rightfully, but naively) blamed republicans

matey

i got this idea that being liberal was the answer

matey

and its very fake, but i thought otherwise

*DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

matey

as it got more openly fake i became sceptical, but the republicans were still losers, i had no interest in them

Apr 03 00:48

matey

two things got me into libertarianism

Apr 03 00:48

matey

1. i moved where there were LOTS of libertarians

Apr 03 00:48

matey

2. mostly free software showed me a world (so i thought) where progressive ideas could work without government :)

Apr 03 00:49

matey

to me, free software proved that libertarianism wasnt political masturbation

Apr 03 00:49

matey

and then it fell over and died, so so much for that

Apr 03 00:49

matey

oh, and libertarianism is doing JUST GREAT giving zero fucks about the events of the past few years

matey

good job.

*bnchs has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

matey

if i wanted a straw man (an unfair caricature) of libertarianism on that issue, we have crystal for that

matey

but the shoe fits

Apr 03 00:51

matey

the only that convinced me (as an adult at least) that maybe something LIKE capitalism could work was free software not getting destroyed by capitalism

Apr 03 00:51

matey

and then capitalism destroyed both free software and then its founder in a 2-year span

matey

and the libertarians made a nice stink about it

activelow

"free software" is a politically motivated misnomer

matey

and then proceeded to do PRETTY MUCH fuck-all

activelow

psydruid proposed "free computing" instead, to cover freedom of science, academic freedom, free software, and hardware (which cannot be separated from free software)

matey

<activelow> "free software" is a politically motivated misnomer <- id protest, if i thought your charge that free sw/free hs was actually a dichotomy was bunk

matey

psydruid proposed "free computing" instead <- hes smart like that

matey

free computing is the future

matey

without free computing, free software is fucked

matey

and the libertarians proceeded to do PRETTY MUCH fuck-all

matey

which imo (at this point) is a predictable pattern

matey

washing its hands of everything is what libertarianism does best

matey

it DOES, i suppose, pretend that this is for a good cause. its non-interventionist, they say

matey

but theyre happy to intervene whenever it aligns with their interests

matey

i consider it bunk

matey

all that was missing was a viable alternative

*bnchs (~bnchs@nb947fmx3qr74.irc) has joined #techrights

matey

anti-capitalism is nice but it seemed both unnecessary and nearly impossible

matey

that was then, of course

matey

i was mostly neutral about anti-capitalism, and my neutrality invited its advocates

Apr 03 00:56

matey

we are convinced that free software and capitalism cannot, will never co-exist

Apr 03 00:56

matey

okay, well i would choose freedom over capitalism any day

Apr 03 00:56

matey

i only needed convincing that capitalism will never give us freedom

matey

im convinced

matey

either way, it killed free software (for now) and i wont forgive that

matey

not today, not ever

*DaemonFC (~daemonfc@3rg2vuuz5nsw4.irc) has joined #techrights

Apr 03 00:58

matey

it killed one of my ten favourite things in the world

Apr 03 00:58

matey

the others wont be named here, though honestly, its not too hard to guess

the weirdest thing i love by far is free software

bnchs

the techdoom

matey

<bnchs> the techdoom <- straw man

matey

hypemen are destroying the fucking internet

bnchs

well i'm sorry

matey

the hype needs to fucking die

matey

<bnchs> well i'm sorry <- im not interested in their bullshit

matey

the more they pretend everything is fine, they more they sell free software to fucking aquaman

matey

aquaman can start his own fucking software empire imo

*DaemonFC has quit (connection closed)

matey

rms wasnt exactly mr. happy either

matey

when he saw bullshit, thats what he called it

matey

some people LIKE bullshit

matey

i dont.

*DaemonFC (~daemonfc@3rg2vuuz5nsw4.irc) has joined #techrights

matey

its an insult

matey

im being blamed for "doom" when all im saying is "all this happy gumdrop marshmellow crap is going to give you intellectual fucking diabetes"

bnchs

well yeah

matey

you know what free software is now?

matey

ALL NATURAL.

matey

two words, used together, to mean absolutely FUCK ALL

bnchs

maybe it should be mixed with a little salt

matey

and all im saying is

matey

dying from cancer is ALL NATURAL

bnchs

maybe

matey

aids is all natural

bnchs

but i shouldnt get 200% salr

matey

but i shouldnt get 200% salr <- ?

activelow

free software? a facade, a misnomer.

bnchs

yes it shouldnt be 100% sweet

bnchs

nor 100% salt

bnchs

you can mix a little salt

matey

you may have missed it when psydroid talked about quitting computing altogether

matey

and i said no, that would be a terrible idea

bnchs

but maybe i dont want to have intellectual diabetes nor demovitation

matey

" nor demovitation" motivation based on bullshit only leads people to self-defeat

matey

if you want a pep talk, ill give you one based on things i think will actually help you

matey

not based on blowing sunshine up your anus

matey

its not fucking hopeless

bnchs

yeah i know

matey

its just REALLY BAD

matey

most of my associates are more optimistic than i am

Apr 03 01:05

matey

but theres a reason for that

Apr 03 01:05

matey

and its not because theyre dumb. its because they know more about the things that give them hope

matey

the more i learn about those things, the more optimistic i am

bnchs

i'm optimistic

matey

but optimism for optimisms sake is ignorance

bnchs

because i do see a future in computing

matey

i do too

bnchs

giving up would make it worse

matey

i agree

matey

and i told psydroid that in this very conversation

matey

but all the bullshitters out there, what they do is

matey

they say "join us! we can help you fight!"

bnchs

matey

and you waste a year or two and realise they never cared about any of that

matey

they lied

activelow

given the compiler situation, i am having difficulties to envision any future for "free software"

matey

<activelow> given the compiler situation, i am having difficulties to envision any future for "free software" <- thats because the real future is in newer, simpler compilers

matey

it doesnt mean eradicating all the complex ones

activelow

exactly, however, "free software" cannot be compiled with those

matey

it means NOT building everything to RELY on those

matey

"free software" cannot be compiled with those <- as-is.

matey

true enough. but not hopeless

psydruid

I wouldn't completely give up on computing, but in the context of making a living developing software that means nothing to me

matey

but in the context of making a living developing software <- i mean i consider that an incredible waste of time, yes

activelow

gcc-4.7 is rather old already, no aarch64 support yet, at least sufficed to verify some base-system profile with, in preparation for tinycc

matey

but if someone has the time and makes the money

matey

and still understands whats at stake and gives a shit and acts on that...

psydruid

because look at all of those job ads, they're terrible

matey

well the industry is a mountain of shit, theres no question

matey

id rather arrange flowers for a living than write software for a company

matey

thanks to monsanto of course, id almost certainly be arranging flowers for microsoft-- I MEAN THIS IS GETTING FUCKING RIDICULOUS!

Apr 03 01:10

matey

and the flowers example wasnt a setup for that punchline-- it goes back to when i was in my 20s.

Apr 03 01:10

matey

dont look for a job with an ethical industry though

Apr 03 01:13

matey

there arent any ethical industries

Apr 03 01:13

matey

i dont blame you for avoiding the it industry though, it will eat your soul

matey

theres a strong argument to be made for avoiding the industry closest to what you love to do

psydruid

I already worked in that industry and it ate my soul

matey

so lesson learned

matey

work for an industry, if any, that isnt so close to what you really love

matey

its not like you have to do something you hate, or that you dont care about at all

psydruid

so I am not looking forward to being sucked back into something that has since turned into something even worse

matey

but at least try to keep your favourite thing away fro your job

matey

<psydruid> so I am not looking forward to being sucked back into something that has since turned into something even worse <- so it your way

matey

so do it your way ^

matey

and fuck what the industry wants

matey

after all, the industry loves a summer romance

matey

the only thing microsoft is married to is windows, and thats going about as well as bill and melinda right now

matey

the industry likes to stick and move

matey

it will give up on systemd-- after systemd has destroyed everything in its wake

Apr 03 01:17

matey

so wiating for systemd to be abandoned is a failing strategy that ignores its intended purpose

psydruid

I don't know anything about windows and I don't know how to write anything but generic software for it in C, C++, Java and Scala

matey

and thats just an example of a very typical pattern

matey

I don't know anything about windows <- windows is utterly useless

matey

i followed reactos for years and gave up

matey

ive got a screen cap of my favourite programming language running in reactos

matey

just getting python installed in ros was a fucking hoot

psydruid

ReactOS devs are hardcore Microsoft fans

matey

yep, their work is of no use to me

psydruid

that is their biggest problem

matey

except they sometimes help wine

matey

and ive used wine for a couple things

matey

probably never again.

matey

if you stop using the linux kernel, wine... does what exactly?

matey

but even when i used gnu/linux my use of wine was incredibly spare

psydruid

Linux developers at least made changes compared to Solaris and BSD where they deemed those adequate

matey

not always for the better

matey

but i wont pretend all of that was useless

matey

i even like the gnu version of cut better than the openbsd version

Apr 03 01:21

matey

but awk fulfils the same purpose without bothering to compile cut from gnu

Apr 03 01:21

matey

and i mean awk, not gnu awk

Apr 03 01:21

matey

the people point to the gnu coding standards being obsolete

Apr 03 01:22

matey

maybe its fud, it seems legit

Apr 03 01:22

activelow

long-term i'll not accept anything into the bapho base system which doesn't compile with TinyCC; let's see what remains

activelow

currently, i haven't got a kernel anymore, given this

activelow

situation

matey

currently, i haven't got a kernel anymore <- thats so gnu

matey

you should call it baphgnuos

activelow

tinycc isn't a gnu project, although it is gpl2 iirc

matey

tinycc isn't a gnu projec <- its listed in the fsd at least

activelow

i feel that desperate about it; i am considering to fully depart into 8/16bit realm with free hardware there

matey

i feel that desperate about it; i am considering to fully depart into 8/16bit realm with free hardware there <- if thats what it takes

activelow

and, i required almost a decade, to review this

matey

one of the people who talked at libreplanet this year has a 6502 internet project

matey

on hackaday

activelow

needless to say, without income generated

matey

needless to say, without income generated <- what do you live on, pension or savings?

activelow

yet, the entire 8/16bit realm is only interesting if, and only if, it is free hardware, and doesn't require proprietary tooling nearby

activelow

which is often the case, microchip vendors and tools require an IBM Wintel PC nearby, to program, flash, compile whatever

matey

yet, the entire 8/16bit realm is only interesting if, and only if, it is free hardware, and doesn't require proprietary tooling nearby <- fair

activelow

Altera? Xilinx? no thanks.

psydruid

I wouldn't go below 32-bit and ideally 64-bit

matey

i dont like 64 bit because it demands so much ram

Apr 03 01:27

but doing free computing with those may be tricky or even impossible

Apr 03 01:27

matey

on a machine with "only" a few gigs, its such a waste

Apr 03 01:27

matey

or even impossible <- lrowe and i see hope there, maybe its real

psydruid

on ARM it's a completely different instruction set

matey

of course

psydruid

that is much saner than whatever came before

matey

i hear the nvidia deal floundered

matey

when i heard this, i linked to the crab rave

activelow

free computing didn't arrive at anything "better" than 8/16bit Z80/Gigatron/6502 yet

matey

it seemed the most appropriate response

activelow

and even then, as soon as a digital scope is nearby, those aren't free

Apr 03 01:30

activelow

meanwhile, analog scope manufacturing seems gone, inclduding traditional vendors such as Rohde&Schwarz or Hameg... they're all digital now

psydruid

I've read that the simplest RISC-V core requires only 20,000 gates

activelow

equipped with Xilinx, and gorious support from IBM Wintel

psydruid

which is still a lot more than what Sam Zeloof can work with

psydruid

but I think it should be doable in the not too distant future

Apr 03 01:32

matey

every time ive moved from one platform to another

Apr 03 01:33

activelow

that's another issue with "free software", the priorities, of what's important and what isn't

Apr 03 01:33

matey

the priorities, of what's important and what isn't <- no shit

Apr 03 01:33

matey

every time ive moved from one platform to another, ive prioritised one thing

matey

a toolset that is as portable from one platform to another as possible

by the time i moved to openbsd, i had practically nothing that wouldnt either run on bsd, or be trivial to adapt to it

one notable exception is my distro project-- it mostly relies on things that are gnu/linux-only

matey

but my distro project was based on the idea that gnu/linux could be salvaged

matey

i find little evidence for that

psydruid

a large part of that is not becoming dependent on anything that is specific to an operating system

matey

i also had no alternatives at the time

matey

a large part of that is not becoming dependent on anything that is specific to an operating system <- this is mostly a simpler way of saying what i was trying to say

matey

at least its most of what i was trying to say

matey

gnu is doing nothing to keep track of the war against it

Apr 03 01:37

i find no evidence that the fsf is keeping track of the war against it

it wasnt as exciting as the moon landing, which i wasnt around for of course, but something changed

psydruid

we should have a lot more vendors of fpgas

activelow

matey

i talked to one of them, he seemed like one

matey

i admit this isnt terribly scientific

matey

then again if i phrased it that way, i wouldnt expect anyone to mistake it for the results of a harvard study

matey

at any rate my point in saying so was only this

*DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

matey

if olimex doesnt have the solution to your issue, meh, just keep looking

activelow

with gigatron ttl i am not entirely sure, about the software, and the ROM

activelow

in any case, with free computing, there won't be internet anymore

*bnchs (~bnchs@hvcr5hqdxwcq6.irc) has joined #techrights

psydruid

the only way to find out is to try

matey

with free computing, there won't be internet anymore <- if you see it as only removing things, okay

matey

i am focused on removing things from a list of what i consider truly free software

matey

but

matey

thats just the first step

matey

once we have enough idea whats free, we can build up again

matey

and of course, just because im busy measuring, im not telling anybody to wait until im ready

matey

if they want to go ahead and make something REALLY REALLY free right now, im not telling them not to

Apr 03 01:53

activelow

the idea, to limit compiler to TinyCC, is a first criteria, to see what remains (both hardware and software)

Apr 03 01:53

matey

its a good idea

Apr 03 01:53

activelow

i'll keep BaphometOS, with as little maintenance as possible, to navigate some books and things necessary; and rather focus on z80/gigatron stuff

Apr 03 01:54

activelow

1) finish BaphometOS, to fully replace/drop GCC entirely, and compile everything beginning from u-boot loader, kernel, and the userspace with TinyCC

Apr 03 01:55

activelow

currently, i downgraded gcc to v4.7, and patched kernel to remove some c11 voodoo

Apr 03 01:55

/me thinks a german fork of "u-boot" would be too fucking funny

*bnchs has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

I think it is German

matey

thats funny

matey

its only one letter different from u-boat

psydruid

it was originally ppcboot

matey

maybe it was deliberate then

psydruid

das u-boot

matey

deliberate then?

*DaemonFC (~daemonfc@mzny54yzqx8ni.irc) has joined #techrights

matey

all this time it was pun intended and i didnt know?

psydruid

it looks like it

matey

ffs

activelow

2) then depart to gitatron/z80/...; because i doubt it will be possible to keep at least BaphometOS alive (c-only/no-c++ uboot, kernel, userspace)

activelow

with u-boot, a nasty dependency sneaked into, to support their FDT firmware format: python swift -> c++

matey

i think if enough people know about baphometos someone might keep it alive in spirit at least

activelow

so, an older version of u-boot is required maybe (not sure yet), and with it, even older aarch32 hardware, if at all

matey

be nice if someone did the same for openbsd

activelow

anyway, this won't be acceptable to BaphometOS: UEFI or any proprietary firmware for GPU/WiFi, proprietary BIOS

Apr 03 02:00

activelow

to bring back TinyCC, i'll need to implement some missing ASM processing for aarch32 (aarch64 asm isn't supported at all yet)

Apr 03 02:01

psydruid

even the lowest-end chips are more powerful than Pentium III processors

Apr 03 02:01

activelow

maybe, it is possible to implement RISC-V, or SH2 for tinycc; however that has no priority; and before that, any known-good architecture needs to be verified, such as aarch32 to compile u-boot and kernel

Apr 03 02:01

psydruid

it's just that software became worse faster

Apr 03 02:02

activelow

soon, i'll know, if and how much of the baphomet userspace compiles with tinycc (aarch32), and how fast

Apr 03 02:02

activelow

at first glance, i had seen pass some autoconf/configure runs already, with tinycc in place, and this was alot faster already than gcc-4.7, although there was little to nothing to compile during configure phase

Apr 03 02:03

matey

<psydruid> it's just that software became worse faster <- because industry is a fucking fashion show

Apr 03 02:04

activelow

now imagine this, the bigger compile jobs, if an entire distro can be compiled in an hour or two, on a tiny cortex a53 quadcore, with 1GiB RAM

Apr 03 02:04

*bnchs has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

Apr 03 02:05

activelow

which too is a huge leap, for free and opensource software, to actually work from source, always, and this being fast and efficient

Apr 03 02:05

activelow

and a cheapo RPI3 sufficed for this

Apr 03 02:05

activelow

which is another reason, why "free software" is a misnomer, because most "distros" are distributed as binary

Apr 03 02:07

activelow

with the argument, that's supposedly faster, instead of asking why source-based workflow was slow and cumbersome

Apr 03 02:08

activelow

btw. the first *nix i worked with wasn't GNU/Linux, it was OpenBSD i learned with, because OpenBSD actually did take care, developers can work efficiently from _source_

Apr 03 02:11

activelow

however, i did realize, the complex dependency tracking necessary, wasn't possible anymore, hence gentoo portage

Apr 03 02:12

activelow

yet, this reasoning is relatively shallow, given the severity of issues involved, with the status of free software, free computing, and academic freedom

no because thats reversism

however, i think the restriction of ordinary GPL2 may be void anyway, meaning i question linking against a GPL2 lib or similar implies such linking enforced full copyleft

Apr 03 05:07

activelow

i fail to recognize the argument, a proprietary program must remain and expand copyleft onto itself when linking against a GPL2 library

Apr 03 05:08

activelow

because, this contradicts author's rights fundemenetally, for example, to choose which license applied to the own work

Apr 03 05:08

activelow

even when linking against GPL2; of cause changes to a GPL piece of software must retain GPL copyleft, yet linking to a lib doesn't necessarily imply copyleft covers the proprietary piece

matey

<activelow> which is slightly confusing, how LGPL2 was different to ordinary GPL2 <- lgpl was made for a few special uses

matey

its more permissive

matey

use as needed

activelow

yes, yet I doubt GPL2 is less permissive/more restrictive in practice

maybe, if they argued #include <gpl-header.h> was different to #include <lgpl-header.h>; however this is a very weak technical argument to say a header inclusion enforced copyleft into where the header included

activelow

except, if GPL2 explicitely stated inclusion of a gpl2-header enforced GPL copyleft into where it is included, which GPL2 doesn't

techrights-news

Maybe next year "diversity" will mean "includes criminals" (like Microsoft)

activelow

meaning the _explicite_ LGPL2 permission to link/include is equivalent to an _implicite_ possibility to do it with GPL2 alike;

Apr 03 05:14

activelow

of cause, i mostly prefer strong copyleft, however i think GPL2 may not offer it since there isn't any expicite clause to prohibit linking/inclusion

Apr 03 05:16

activelow

with regards to copyleft GPL2 is dangerous, because it is prone to both unintended/undesireable copyleft expansion, and unintended avoidance of it

Clownflare has become a LOT more aggressive lately against people who do NOT run proprietary JavaScript. That proprietary JavaScript is ITSELF the risk. Clownflare should be eradicated. Clownflare as a company, still not profitable, should cease to exist.

Apr 03 05:22

activelow

i don't appreciate this, for example, as an author i would prefer any work of mine may be 100% for schools/universities, however i object to free as in gratis for commercial business with free software

Apr 03 05:22

activelow

in german copyright law it is called "Verwertungsrechte" (commercial rights), distinguished from authors rights

Apr 03 05:23

activelow

author's rights cannot be transferred, sold, or terminated in any way, and an author may decide to transfer the commercial rights of his work

Apr 03 05:24

activelow

however, GPL doesn't distinguish author's rights and commercial rights (as in Verwertungsrechte)

Apr 03 05:25

activelow

same with LGPL2, which i consider redundant, because i question GPL2 copyleft expansion with both technical arguments, and legal arguments

Apr 03 05:27

activelow

because an #include <gpl2-header.h> does not suffice to consider any piece of software a derivative work of what's included/linked

Apr 03 05:27

activelow

the #include/linking against gpl2.h is a necessity to define what is a derivative work, yet it is _insufficient_, both legally and technically

Apr 03 05:28

activelow

in fact, the _uncertainty_ with GPL2 to define what is a derivative work and what isn't, this uncertainty is worse than an explicite permission with LGPL2

Apr 03 05:30

activelow

and it's a loophole into unnecessary, useless, harmful lawsuits and legal challenges

Apr 03 05:30

matey

Apr 03 05:33

matey

drawing a distinct and reliable line between commercial / non-commercial just takes free licensing and puts it back into the purview of lawyers again

Apr 03 05:34

matey

as things are, you can mostly use gpl without ever hiring a lawyer

Apr 03 05:34

matey

lawyers for big companies dispute this to protect income, but the fact is most people can convey gpl software without it being a big deal

Apr 03 05:34

matey

you start drawing "distinct" lines between commercial and nc, you basically create a minefield where one did not exist before

Apr 03 05:35

matey

its MUCH less useful then

Apr 03 05:35

matey

and as a bonus, it will likely vary from country to country, so thats nice

Apr 03 05:35

matey

cc license with the nc clause have this problem as well

Apr 03 05:36

matey

can you use them in x situation? no one fucking knows, good luck!

Apr 03 05:36

matey

free software doesnt need that shit

Apr 03 05:36

matey

im anti-capitalist, but the license should be neutral on commercial use

Apr 03 05:37

matey

otherwise it will be nuts

Apr 03 05:37

activelow

i do not want to publish with GPL license and see any corrupt business entity benefit

Apr 03 05:38

activelow

to boil up this argument to maximum heat, when thinking about FSF (Europe mainly) and their associates, it is a party politics outlet of "liberals", who discovered various "freedoms" under the banner of "free software"

Apr 03 05:42

activelow

however, in parallel too i remember, who the exact same type of "liberals" and party politics conducted their business in Telco univeristy

Apr 03 05:42

activelow

*how

Apr 03 05:42

activelow

so, they can use the "free software" label, as a marketing gag, to lure developers and users into their sharholder value meat grinder

Apr 03 05:43

*CrystalMath has quit (Quit: Leaving)

Apr 03 05:45

activelow

furthermore, GPL doesn't terminate any other legislation, although it seems implied somehow, basic principles such as salary in return for work

Apr 03 05:49

activelow

then again, "liberals" sneak around the corner, and argue it's "the market" which decided this was in compliance; or GPL simply wasn't suitable when instead proprietary software licenses were

Apr 03 05:50

matey

i do not want to publish with GPL license and see any corrupt business entity benefit <- you probably cant have a license take care of that disctinction and still have it be useful to other people

Apr 03 05:50

matey

theres no such thing as a perfect license-- the more you try to make the license accomplish, the harder it is to pull of the stunt

Apr 03 05:51

matey

there are good licenses, mediocre licenses and terrible licenses, but no perfect license

Apr 03 05:52

matey

mediocre licenses barely accomplish what anyone wants

Apr 03 05:52

matey

terrible licenses screw over the intended audience, usually as a deliberate course of action

Apr 03 05:53

activelow

in compliance with Bern Convention ("author's rights"); this alone already could prevent some mis-understandings

Apr 03 05:53

matey

good licenses accomplish good things, and (preferably) dont balkanise things too much

Apr 03 05:53

activelow

such as, any corrupt business entity must not: use any work of an author without consent, and must state who the author is

Apr 03 05:54

matey

in compliance with Bern Convention ("author's rights"); this alone already could prevent some mis-understandings <- in practice, century-old treaties havent had too much impact on free software licensing and are mostly commented on to troll and spread fud imo

Apr 03 05:54

activelow

GPL2, nor any other license, could terminate those rights - except if there was legal aspects i am not aware of

Apr 03 05:54

activelow

*could not

Apr 03 05:55

activelow

GPL2, nor any other license, could _not_ terminate those rights - except if there was legal aspects i am not aware of

Apr 03 05:55

matey

GPL2, nor any other license, could terminate those rights <- perhaps not, but if not then its not likely a problem

Apr 03 05:55

Apr 03 06:02

activelow

in germany it is party politics, and this is what it is about here, and the interests involved, which is cash grabbing

matey

its about political left opportunists (minimal overlap with actual party agendas) who are in it for themselves, and dont give a damn about a a party, or its members, or even the people the license would allegedly server

matey

serve

matey

and its crap basically

matey

they are politically left but they dont care about their own allies

matey

and their potential allies (who get nothing in exchange and gather no benefit from this opportunism) either awkwardly and naively support it, or...

Apr 03 06:04

matey

just as often, the opportunism can find no support from its own "side" and jumps to the other side to further its (selfish, opportunistic) agenda

Apr 03 06:04

matey

in that sense it couldnt be less about a party than it is

Apr 03 06:05

matey

its just about promoting nonsense and painting it left or right or centrist

the solution to shit politics is non-shit politics

Apr 03 06:06

Apr 03 06:07

matey

it could change anytime (and often does when not expected)

Apr 03 06:07

matey

technically speaking at least

Apr 03 06:07

matey

in germany it is party politics, and this is what it is about here, and the interests involved, which is cash grabbing <- google doesnt care about german party political agendas

Apr 03 06:08

matey

it simply wants to buy influence at fsfe

Apr 03 06:08

matey

theres some truth to what youre saying even then, but its part of a larger picture

Apr 03 06:08

activelow

german party politics are awkward, which is, it is a shallow facade, of supposedly multiple parties existing, when instead their prominence is what i consider centrally controlled

Apr 03 06:09

Apr 03 06:09

matey

the eu certainly complicates all this-- but it too cares less about party politics

Apr 03 06:09

activelow

eu is rigged

matey

matey

matey

there are outside influences of course

activelow

nope, EU apparatus sanctioned those who were compliant with EU contracts, and benefit those who violated them

matey

money is like that

even worse, although i wouldn't consider EU "democratic", i consider EU not _constitutional_

Apr 03 06:11

rule of law

Apr 03 06:12

which is, compensated instead, with "higher" morality in this apparatus, and higher intellect which escapes mine

For years, at the federal level, the most despised government agency was the IRS. Now I'm sure it would be the CDC.

The whole COVID pandemic was a smokescreen to implement Agenda 21.

Even as people come out of the stupor of the last two years, they find that they still can't afford to leave the house or do much due to hyperinflation that's especially hitting food, and gas prices.

Apr 03 11:20

DaemonFC

I have no doubt the virus was real. "Sustainable development" includes population control.

Apr 03 11:21

DaemonFC

A small fraction of that is deliberately murdering the elderly and the infirm with the virus, and then most of the rest is making people unable to afford children, or sterile due to the side effects of the vaccines.

Apr 03 11:21

DaemonFC

The government controls the fertility statistics.

Apr 03 11:22

DaemonFC

They can just keep saying people don't have many children and nobody really knows why. "Maybe it's the economy." while they fry their reproductive system over and over again with "boosters".

Apr 03 11:23

DaemonFC

schestowitz, Bill Gates was giving a speech the other day. He said Omicron was unfortunate due to the fact that it appears to give much better immunity than the vaccines and was so mild that it blew through in a month and then has mostly gone away.

All that lost revenue....

Apr 03 11:24

It's not just the COVID shots that do reproductive harm.

Apr 03 11:25

There's obviously been agents in the food and drinking water for some time that do that too.

The count and quality of male semen has been in severe decline over the past 40 years or so in the United States. I'm pretty sure other developed countries. They're doing something to us.

Apr 03 11:26

DaemonFC

It's "managing the herd".

Apr 03 11:26

DaemonFC

Maybe they don't even have to add agents to do that. Maybe they just cause poor people to subsist on ramen noodles instead of fresh vegetables and high quality protein sources because they can't afford a proper diet anymore.

"A June 2012 poll of 1,300 United States voters by the American Planning Association found that 9% supported Agenda 21, 6% opposed it, and 85% thought they didn't have enough information to form an opinion.[16]"

Apr 03 11:32

DaemonFC

The poll probably did not mention the United Nations or anything about Agenda 21's goal of reducing living standards.

Apr 03 11:32

DaemonFC

And the UN doesn't go out of their way to make it clear what Agenda 21 really is.

Apr 03 11:32

DaemonFC

Just mentioning the United Nations in the poll would be enough to throw most of the undecideds against it. It's like Microsoft and Coca Cola. They keep their branding off GitHub and orange juice, because they don't want people to know.

Today I got so tired doing the 3-hour video that I had to stop halfway, go take a nap, then resume with a part 2 over an hour later. First time this happens.

Apr 03 13:29

bnchs__

should you really record for 3 hours?

Apr 03 13:39

schestowitz-TR

it's more time-efficient if done in one go

Apr 03 13:40

bnchs__

well ok

bnchs__

i wanted to ask you wheres the code for the altlink bot

schestowitz-TR

if I have two files, I need to encode twice

immibis

DaemonFC: do you or do you not believe in liberty?

schestowitz-TR

the process is mostly automated though, it's just that it needs to be invoked twice

bnchs__

schestowitz-TR: do you ever encode multi-threaded?

bnchs__

and/or use hardware encoding?

schestowitz-TR

bnchs__: it's with ffmpeg

Apr 03 13:42

schestowitz-TR

it uses up all the cpu cores

Apr 03 13:42

bnchs__

really?

Apr 03 13:42

bnchs__

oh ffmpeg uses multi-threading by default

Apr 03 13:43

schestowitz-TR

I wanted to distribute the load across multiple machines, but found no tools to do this with ffmpeg

Apr 03 13:43

schestowitz-TR

unless you split the file and reassemble from different nodes/machines at the end

Apr 03 13:43

schestowitz-TR

one minute of video can be 24x60 frames

Apr 03 13:44

immibis

you don't want to split by frames because you'll get non-optimal keyframes

Apr 03 13:44

immibis

maybe it's possible to run one pass to decide on keyframes and then encode each section

Apr 03 13:44

schestowitz-TR

that's 86.4k frames an hour

schestowitz-TR

immibis: or buy a monster machine for like 20,000 $ lol

bnchs__

schestowitz-TR

which would be idle like 99% of the time

immibis

this is actually an ideal use case for clown

bnchs__

how do you plan to split load across machines

immibis

if you want a monster machine for like 5 minutes

bnchs__

you might aswell just buy like 16 CPUs

bnchs__

and insert them all in one motherboard

bnchs__

maybe 32

schestowitz-TR

I have here 4,4,2,2,2,2 CPU cores

immibis

32-socket motherboards do not exist

schestowitz-TR

total 16

immibis

If you want cores have a look on ebay or ewaste recyclers for servers. I was seeing ~$500 for iirc 16-core dual socket machines.

Apr 03 13:47

immibis

(16 cores in total)

immibis

older generation ones

bnchs__

well i guess

schestowitz-TR

these longer videos are now urgent

schestowitz-TR

I don't mind the laptop going for 10 hours

immibis

also i'm serious when I say that renting a monster machine for 5 minutes is an ideal use case for clown

schestowitz-TR

i just distribute the tasks across to other machine

schestowitz-TR

but anyway, next time I won't start doing a long video after just 4 hours of sleep

Apr 03 13:54

Apr 03 13:55

bnchs__: throw it away and get a new one

bnchs__: the saying "cattle, not pets" applies

*psydroid2 would build a private clown

bnchs__

well i don't wanna use the clown

psydroid2

*create

immibis

bnchs__: even if you don't like clown it seems a bit shortsighted to artificially restrict your horizons. All major clowns give you free trials of one sort or another

immibis

you may as well know how it works

immibis

psydroid2: people do that, although if you only have a couple of servers, it seems silly. Sometimes it leads to people using stupid numbers of VMs/containers just to justify their private clown

bnchs__

what if i wanna do processing offline

immibis

like turning their website into microservices

immibis

bnchs__: then you can't use clown, because by definition it is someone else's server that you access through the internet

bnchs__

so basically

bnchs__

internet outage (which is everytime here)

immibis

can you upload videos during an internet outage?

bnchs__

means no access to the clown?

psydroid2

immibis, I wouldn't do that, I would just share my private clown with my friends

bnchs__

lol upload speed 0.5KB/s

bnchs__

clown would be retarded with that kind of speed

bnchs__

might aswell just buy a server

immibis

bnchs__: do you even know what the context for this conversation is?

bnchs__

yeah

bnchs__

processing videos

immibis

it wasn't bitcoin mining. it was processing videos to upload

bnchs__

yeah

bnchs__

but first you have to upload the video

bnchs__

with shit speed and constant outage

immibis

in fact, if your upload speed is that terrible, it will probably be FASTER uploading one copy and then processing it on someone else's server

immibis

(assuming the goal is to generate multiple copies in different formats, and not to compress the first copy)

Apr 03 15:00

i mean i wanted to modify it a bit

matey

as far as i know the bot is about as understood to us as the monolith in 2001 / 2010

matey

<bnchs__> i mean i wanted to modify it a bit <- thats entirely reasonable

bnchs__

and see how it detected cloudflare

matey

hmm

Apr 03 15:02

matey

if i was trying to detect cloudflare, i would use two approaches

Apr 03 15:02

matey

the bot may have a better method

Apr 03 15:02

bnchs__

yeah thats why i'm interested in it

matey

i would use the following two approaches and either one of course would trip the detection flag (OR logic)

matey

the first pass would try to grab the page with torsocks. if it got the captcha, cloudflare confirmed

schestowitz

altlink is nor our bot

schestowitz

it's free sofrware

schestowitz

schestowitz

it's run by ciphrCat

bnchs__

oh i get it

ciphrcat is logged in, but has been idle for 202765 seconds? (does the math to see if thats plausible)

matey

schestowitz

maybe there are multiple repos/sites

bnchs__

the URL (decloudflare) doesn't really have the source code i think

ive never heard of such a thing, and im not a lawyer, so this is speculation

bnchs__

i'm guessing that it's looking up the DNS domain and see if it routes to cloudflare servers

Apr 03 15:18

matey

well that was the other method i was going to suggest

Apr 03 15:18

matey

get the ip

Apr 03 15:18

matey

then try to access it directly

Apr 03 15:19

matey

and if its clownflare the computer will say no

Apr 03 15:19

matey

just a guess

Apr 03 15:19

*ziraffep has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

Apr 03 15:20

matey

this way you dont need a hardcoded list of clownflare addresses

Apr 03 15:20

matey

you go based on the response

Apr 03 15:20

matey

but if its trivial to get a full list of their addresses, theres no problem with that

Apr 03 15:21

matey

youd just have to update it from time to time

bnchs__

it seems like this site checks more than just DNS and SSL

bnchs__

it checks the HTTP headers for cloudflare-related shit

matey

hmm

Apr 03 15:25

matey

i wouldnt have thought of that

Apr 03 15:25

bnchs__

the DNS lookup also relies on checking the nameservers

Apr 03 15:25

bnchs__

if it detects cloudflare nameservers like becky.ns.cloudflare.com

Apr 03 15:26

bnchs__

so there's a few things

Apr 03 15:27

matey

what are you going to do with it

Apr 03 15:27

bnchs__

1. do a NS lookup on the domain, check for cloudflare-related nameservers 2. access the site 3. check the HTTP headers and SSL certificate

matey

id make a list of websites that dont use cf

bnchs__

taking notes

bnchs__

maybe i would cache the list

bnchs__

for a week or something

matey

why a week?

matey

it would be cool to have a list of websites that dont use cf or some other crap like bitchninja or suckuri firewall

Apr 03 15:29

matey

the ncurses guy uses suckuri, its annoying

Apr 03 15:29

bnchs__

heres the thing

bnchs__

what if the site stops using cloudflare

matey

sourcefudge is getting increasingly aggressive against anonymised visitors, but its still trivial to get around

bnchs__

you would indefinitely cache the list

bnchs__

you would just check the domain after a week

bnchs__

just in case

bnchs__

wouldn't indefinitely*

matey

you would indefinitely cache the list <- i wouldnt check it every week

matey

maybe every couple months or a few times a year

matey

i dont think admins have a change of heart that often

bnchs__

ok what if they do

matey

i think youre wasting a lot of processing power but its yours to do what you want with so

bnchs__

well ok

matey

im talking about efficiency, youre talking about accuracy. either approach has merits

bnchs__

lets raise it up

matey

i wouldnt try to tell you to do it my way

bnchs__

maybe every couple of months right?

matey

sure, thats a good number i guess

bnchs__

i wanna replace the hardcoded web.archive.org link to something

bnchs__

bnchs__: dunno, /list told me it had 7 users

schestowitz-TR

i herad about their book drm, did not look into it to understand or verify, it does raise concerns about their direction

bnchs__

matey: iframe version is because i hate the IA javascript and shit

*psydroid2 wonders how much of the web is actually worth saving

matey

did not look into it to understand or verify <- libraries + drm = !libraries

schestowitz-TR

and makes you wonder if there are forces/pressures in play outside plain sight

bnchs__

using the iframe version meant that the IA-replaced links point to the regular version anyway

bnchs__

unlike other archives

matey

libraries since the dawn of commercial publishers and copyright, have existed at odds with publishers

matey

this isnt the libraries fault, as lending books actually INCREASES sales

matey

but publishers are dicks

matey

repeat: publishers are dicks

schestowitz-TR

[15:38] <matey> iframes are from the devil

schestowitz-TR

they are, BUT...

matey

the only thing that allows libraries to exist (because publishers have long sought to destroy them) is first sale doctrine

schestowitz-TR

sometimes they're one way to dodge JS and spurious CSS

schestowitz-TR

I can give examples

matey

dmca for example, negates first sale for anything with drm

bnchs__

yes

matey

<schestowitz-TR> I can give examples <- i doubt i would care

schestowitz-TR

matey

drm poses an existential threat to libraries.

bnchs__

like check out memento's API

matey

but ia has other major issues, sort of complicated to explain

matey

go back in time and use ia then, youd see what i mean

matey

lessig said he thinks with video-- ALL VIDEO

matey

you should just be able to quote anything, like you can with writing

matey

clip, snippet, copy, paste

*zleap (~zleap@user/zleap) has joined #techrights

matey

and people do, but its complicated

bnchs__

i like how the websites turned black for 2 days (even yahoo) after clinton signed the bill

matey

and if you do it with music youre fucked

bnchs__

usually if a bill like this gets signed in 2022

bnchs__

everyone would suck it like a good boy

matey

usually if a bill like this gets signed in 2022 <- again, reddit and wikipedia did the same thing in response to sopa/pipa

matey

but that was before reddit fucked itself

matey

usually if a bill like this gets signed in 2022 <- yes thats true

matey

everything is a dick sucking contest now

bnchs__

they use covers like anti-pedo

matey

thats not new either

bnchs__

and anti-terrorism

matey

adolf hitler: "thinks of the children!" *then gasses countless numbers of children*

bnchs__

people had their own websites

matey

anti-terrorism: n. "we can do terrorism but YOU CANT" (also you cant do things we dont like or we will conflate it with terrorism)

bnchs__

and there wasn't upboats or downboats in mailing lists

Apr 03 16:15

matey

/me still doesnt understand how it would be POSSIBLE for gerwitz to stop emails from pocock, even though theres little doubt the latter was censored

Apr 03 16:16

matey

but by gerwitz? how?

Apr 03 16:16

matey

when was he in charge of such things

Apr 03 16:16

bnchs__

who's gerwitz and who's pocock

matey

pocock is a sometimes "contributor" to techrights

bnchs__

matey

meaning he sometimes emails roy and roy sometimes mirrors articles hes written

bnchs__

stop emails as in gerwitz blocked him?

matey

hes the one who exposed corruption at fsfe and censorship at fsf

matey

well heres the thing

matey

pocock probably had some emails to rms blocked-- this i do not doubt

matey

allegedly gerwitz may have been involved somehow-- this i dont understand how its possible (gerwitz being involved)

matey

now for your other question

bnchs__

blocked the emails for gerwitz alone?

bnchs__

or the entire mail server?

matey

(mike) gerwitz gave a surprisingly good talk at libreplanet 2022

matey

ok so heres how it allegedly goes:

matey

pocock email -> | gerwitz | rms

matey

gerwitz prevents rms from getting it

bnchs__

oh so you're saying

matey

an i dont doubt that happened-- im only scpetical that gerwitz was the person responsible

bnchs__

that gerwitz was in control of rms' incoming mail server

bnchs__

and managed to block pocock's email address?

matey

im saying i dont know how he would be... but we are talking about fsf staff no mattre what

matey

this is rms@fsf or rms@gnu

matey

either way, fsf infrastructure

matey

someone was in charge of it when the email didnt go through

bnchs__

well are you sure that it's just a technical issue

matey

im not aware that gerwitz ever had that position

bnchs__

not a blacklisting thing?

matey

we can always blame a technical issue

matey

blacklisting is likely in this instance

matey

theres never censorship that cant be brushed away as a technical problem

bnchs__

did the problem get fixed?

matey

i dont know, ive also had problems emailing him

bnchs__

or did he not report the problem at all

matey

where even his autoresponder didnt respond

bnchs__

matey: maybe it's a technical problem

matey

which i found suspicious

bnchs__

i mean even i emailed him

matey

ive been emailing him for many years, i have some idea what a normal response is

bnchs__

and it didn't go through

bnchs__

so it might be

matey

yeah it could be a technical issue. always a possibility

bnchs__

there's no way i could get blocked

matey

i mean its not even impossible for a cosmic particle to strike the server and cause an email to get lost

Apr 03 16:23

matey

though the magnetic field around the earth blocks most of them

Apr 03 16:23

bnchs__

this is more than just one email

Apr 03 16:23

matey

at any rate, i dont doubt censorship

bnchs__

i had problems emailing him

matey

im mostly intrigued that gerwitz could be implicated in this

matey

as im very sceptical of that

matey

and you know i dont have a high opinion of most fsf people, but the gerwitz/censorship connection doesnt ring true for me at all

*DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

matey

im not inclined to leave it alone until i learn more

matey

though i will give up on it eventually if theres nothing forthcoming

matey

i mean, this isnt a white whale for me

bnchs__

i mean

bnchs__

you do you

bnchs__

investigate as much as you like

matey

mostly im just curious

bnchs__

but i doubt it's censorship

bnchs__

and more of a technical issue on rms' end

matey

actually, what id like to if theres a way gerwitz even COULD be at fault

matey

i didnt think he was in charge of this even.

matey

when was he a moderator, for example

matey

i think the gerwitz part is bunk. what id like to know is WHY it is. id rather have more of a response to it than "i think its probably bunk"

Apr 03 16:27

matey

proving it wasnt censorship would also clear him but i figure thats a lot more difficult to prove

matey

alternatively if it really was his fault id be just as interested in that truth

matey

as sceptical as i am

*u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

matey

pocock isnt very easily cornered on anything

matey

you cant get much out of him on this, which doesnt help

bnchs__

maybe investigate without holding bias against the staff

matey

<bnchs__> maybe investigate without holding bias against the staff <- funnily enough thats what im doing

matey

but the fsf is not known for transparency and wont be useful in this

matey

theyre ridiculously opaque, roy has even critiqued them for it

matey

something he and i agree on

matey

or at least did agree on (i still do, who knows what his position is now)

bnchs__

how do you give your project to the GNU

Apr 03 16:31

matey

you register

matey

i presume it generally involves sending an email

bnchs__

to whom?

matey

which may get a response

matey

one of the biggest complaints is that responses are ridiculously far from timely

matey

and the process may take ages

matey

you know im happy to look this up for you actually

bnchs__

because i heard of something

https://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2018/spring/gnu-needs-you-how-to-contribute-to-a-gnu-project

matey

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.fsf.org | GNU needs you: How to contribute to a GNU project — Free Software Foundation — Working together for free software

bnchs__

it involves giving up the copyright to FSF right?

matey

If you already have written useful software that you would like to submit as a GNU package, there's a submission process in place at gnu.org/help/evaluation.html. If you're willing to adhere to the GNU Project's mission for software freedom, you can join 404 other GNU supporters as a GNU maintainer.

Apr 03 16:34

matey

olves giving up the copyright to FSF right? <- i think so, so they can defend the license legally.

Apr 03 16:34

matey

im not sure its mandatory, but i think its probably required. maybe if you make a compelling argument they grant an exception, i dont know

Apr 03 16:34

matey

at the very least its recommended

DaemonFC

You can tell how there were twists and turns where it started out as more of a kids show and then found an older audience that appreciated the occasional inappropriate humor that was slightly obfuscated so kids probably wouldn't pick up on it.

DaemonFC

Then it went from inappropriate humor into straight up nihilism.

rick and morty is associated with soyboys

and with good reasons

who are soyboys?

So if you set it atop a fan and turn the fan on, that should blow the hot air out and maybe keep it working. It was just really badly designed.

You get on the VPN, you get 20 Mbps.

bnchs___

would you get full speed?

DaemonFC

You get off the VPN, it's back up at almost 100.

DaemonFC

<bnchs___> would you get full speed?

DaemonFC

Maybe until they find out about it.

bnchs___

but if they find out about it

bnchs___

they can't do shit about it

bnchs___

if they remove the throttle exception

DaemonFC

What port does Tor work over?

bnchs___

the user can tell the ISP why my speed is 20 Mbps

http://techrights.org/2022/04/03/the-protestware-fud/

bnchs___

9001-9030

Apr 03 21:32

bnchs___

but the speedtest website can just host a tor bridge

Apr 03 21:32

bnchs___

iirc a tor bridge is hosted as a HTTP service

Apr 03 21:34

bnchs___

to evade detection

Apr 03 21:34

bnchs___

so even if tmobile or comcast found out

Apr 03 21:35

they couldn't remove the throttle exception nor ban the site

both would result on user complaining

audc and c++ are not there

that's a big chunk of programs

a chunk u say..?

schestowitz-TR

yeah

schestowitz-TR

jeff chunky

matey

/me has never heard of audc

matey

maybe c?

schestowitz-TR

how much was there before 2018?

matey

a lot of this is stuff that moved there since 2018

matey

like perl

schestowitz-TR

btw, one day there will be an exodus away from git

matey

php

schestowitz-TR

like svn and svn

schestowitz-TR

then microsoft will struggle to retain what's left

matey

btw, one day there will be an exodus away from git <- yes, and my answer to that is one day the sun will explode

matey

though the exodus from gh should be long before that

schestowitz-TR

naaa... tehc moves fast

matey

when they finally leave, they will pretend what that being hand-in-hand with microsoft wasnt a great betrayal

matey

tech moves fast <- lies move faster

schestowitz-TR

in less than a decade better things than git will exist, with easy migration route from git

matey

start the clock then

schestowitz-TR

lives move faster

schestowitz-TR

not lies

matey

lies move very fast

schestowitz-TR

tech changes a lot faster than other disciplines

matey

they run most of the planet

schestowitz-TR

both h/w and s/w

schestowitz-TR

look at fb

matey

the thing is, you say exodus from github

schestowitz-TR

losing active users rapidly

schestowitz-TR

now trying to 'evolve' for buzzword

schestowitz-TR

"metaverse"

matey

im not concerned about github PER SE

schestowitz-TR

"second life"

matey

im concerned about the monopoly microsoft enjoys, and that these so called fighters for freedom dont give an actual damn

matey

second life + metaverse = getalife

schestowitz-TR

well, it is a BOUGHT monopoly

schestowitz-TR

and SOME of them embrace it before it was a MONOPOLY

schestowitz-TR

and before MICROSOFT

matey

yes, and now they dont give a damn

schestowitz-TR

RMS cautioned against it

matey

yes, and we should have listened

schestowitz-TR

but for reasons like JS

matey

it was a good reason

schestowitz-TR

I listened and checked gitlab

matey

he also waranted about a bigger problem

schestowitz-TR

I was already unhappy about the JS

matey

warned

matey

he warned about "ruinous compromise"

matey

10 years before github was bought

schestowitz-TR

then the FSF changed its mind about making savannah replacement base don gitlab

schestowitz-TR

it would be the wrong path

matey

gitlab is crap thats why

schestowitz-TR

I like what we use

schestowitz-TR

git cli and gemini

schestowitz-TR

very small and easy to maintain

schestowitz-TR

it's perl and bash

schestowitz-TR

and that itself is in git

schestowitz-TR

I don't use the wordpress ui

schestowitz-TR

I pasted into it from kate

matey

you can streamline it even more

schestowitz-TR

drupal has drush

matey

if you stop using email and ditch the dns shit

schestowitz-TR

irc stuff is python, bash etc.

schestowitz-TR

and at the core it's all simple text

matey

python of course is becoming a non-programming language

matey

and turning into a webapi like rust

schestowitz-TR

without dns you are becoming hard to access

schestowitz-TR

like onion addresses for irc

matey

onion addresses for irc are easy enough for a child to use

schestowitz-TR

if a child has tor all set up

matey

tor is easy enough for a child to set up

schestowitz-TR

in some countries restrictions exist

matey

in some countries restrictions exist <- that is sort of the whole bloody point

schestowitz-TR

where XRevan86 is a rot operator and debian dev was raised by putin's regime

schestowitz-TR

*raided

matey

most of the countries with restrictions, tor gets around

schestowitz-TR

iirc, because someone uploaded some kanye west video

XRevan86

A rot operator?

matey

i know more people who use tor to bypass restrictions than people who are restricted because of it

matey

hopefully not a deliberate typo

schestowitz-TR

XRevan86: OOPS

schestowitz-TR

in russia, tor is read from start to finish

schestowitz-TR

matey: accidental

schestowitz-TR

not even freudian slip

schestowitz-TR

QWERTY

matey

qwerty is a pretty terrible artifact of pre-computing days

*XRevan86 shrugs.

schestowitz-TR

yes, I know

schestowitz-TR

but if you choose something else that works... until you leave your own machine

schestowitz-TR

and some devices do not offer alt layouts for their keyboard st all

matey

i mean im sure i could learn how to use a different keyboard

schestowitz-TR

so even your own devices might not obey you

matey

but a reliable supply of non-qwerty keyboards? that part is tricky

schestowitz-TR

you can use the same one

matey

i could remap all my keys too

schestowitz-TR

if you memorise key locations

matey

but on that front i truly cant be arsed

schestowitz-TR

OSes that let you alter mapping already support alt layouts

schestowitz-TR

the problem is those that support neither

schestowitz-TR

or a friend's computer or public terminal

matey

well i havent used a public computer in ages

schestowitz-TR

they use YOU

matey

oh yeah, like the others dont

schestowitz-TR

and usually they are not even THEM

schestowitz-TR

They are some companies

schestowitz-TR

controlling them remoately

matey

id have to REALLY LOVE computers to still bother with them these days

schestowitz-TR

so you are used by some company via some machine that is not even yourss

matey

ive put more work into that than my first marriage

matey

we will see which was more hopeless

schestowitz-TR

two floppy drives?

schestowitz-TR

5,25?

matey

one 5.25 and one 3.5

psydruid

computers have been the bigger con

matey

i added an ide controller because it was fucking mfm

matey

and i got it on the internet

psydruid

you could do everything you can do now in the 90s too

schestowitz-TR

with fewer polygons

schestowitz-TR

and fewer colours (depth)

schestowitz-TR

which does not add much practical value

matey

i dont know

matey

i would say 24bit colour is worth it

matey

i certainly thought so before i had it

matey

and i didnt change my mind after

schestowitz-TR

not for text

schestowitz-TR

maybe for pr0na nd stuff

schestowitz-TR

for most computer tasks the colour is showoff

schestowitz-TR

you could do OK with 8 bit

schestowitz-TR

and high res

matey

lol, because the only real point of full colour in video and photos is naked stuff

matey

just today someone sent me a video of them dancing

matey

not that kind of dancing.

matey

i think 24bit colour helped

americans and their "this is the CORRECT way... that i just made up!"

Apr 03 23:49

matey

i dont blame them for the difference, no

matey

just the idea that you can be completely arbitrary and then say "well, this is the RIGHT way"

XRevan86

The "colour→color" thing is pretty much de-French-ification, by the way. "color" is a pure Latin spelling.

matey

The "colour→color" thing is pretty much de-French-ification, by the way <- well, yes

matey

but i assumed the "frenchification" came AFTER the mayflower, so to speak

matey

and what youre implying is, it came before

XRevan86

So is the "organisation→organization", except not to Latin but to Greek.

matey

also spake sarathustra

XRevan86

matey: Of course before.

matey

matey: Of course before. <- and yet ive heard the opposite!

matey

im glad i asked.

XRevan86

It's a basic word, it's only natural to assume it came from Anglo-Norman, Latin words usually come to English through scholarly stuff.

Apr 03 23:52

English has *a lot* of words from Anglo-Norman French.

i guess webster wasnt a francophile

Apr 03 23:53

He wanted to make spelling more regular I guess.

matey

i mean i can appreciate that, sort of

matey

but by "more regular" of course we mean

matey

"different from the rest of the english speaking world"

and it didnt get much farther. i dont think it even made it all the way to canada.

man-ovary is just too much

matey

also every single license that means a thing to me spells it "license" so...

matey

its "license" now, sorry

matey

which it is anyway! just not all the time

XRevan86

matey: I look at that word like at advice/advise

psydruid

this "island" form is curious

MinceR

iirc license is usian and licence is british

matey

mincer: its worse than that

matey

it depends on whether its noun or verb in british

MinceR

XRevan86

"to license a licence" is the non-US form

psydruid

in Dutch we have "eiland" and German has "Insel"

matey

license is actually correct on either side of the pond, depending on the context

matey

i mean thats a bit much.
