MinceR

words hurt people, actions don't

MinceR

so companies can enslave anyone and you're not allowed to talk about it

*birkoff has quit (Quit: ZNC 1.8.2 - https://znc.in)

baronhk1[m]

The companies Matthew Garrett works for use slaves in China where they have to put suicide nets in the factories. Their software is created to spy on people and have them kidnapped and tortured.

Jun 06 00:12

baronhk1[m]

He isn't a FOSS activist, but he plays one on Twitter.

Jun 06 00:13

baronhk1[m]

Then he bashes me for saying tranny farm in Colorado.

Jun 06 00:13

baronhk1[m]

He would never post this entire block in its entire original form and reply to it.

Jun 06 00:13

MinceR

one of them also censored the "tank man" photo recently for the whole world

Jun 06 00:14

MinceR

giving us a taste of totalitarianism, which they surely mean to subject is all to

Jun 06 00:14

baronhk1[m]

It was a "mistake" to subject us all to the requirements of the Communist Party of China so obviously.

Jun 06 00:15

baronhk1[m]

They usually like to do those things out in California by having the Communists censor our movies and stuff.

Jun 06 00:15

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] baronhk1[m]: They're not slaves, they're just differently/alternatively free.

Jun 06 00:15

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] free-atypical if ye will

Jun 06 00:16

baronhk1[m]

There's no telling how the algorithms of a search engine work so we have no idea how often they manipulate them to appease Chinese Communists, but I'd wager that Bing and Google do it quite a lot.

Jun 06 00:16

baronhk1[m]

Even in other "markets".

Jun 06 00:16

kingoffrance

no no no wagephobic

Jun 06 00:17

MinceR

s/t is/t us/

Jun 06 00:17

baronhk1[m]

Censoring tank man was too obvious. Usually, they probably just bury the stories about how the US federal government was directly funding the Chinese superlab that created or at least lost containment of COVID-19.

Jun 06 00:17

baronhk1[m]

Garrett participated.

Jun 06 00:18

baronhk1[m]

Under the baseline federal budget that went to "healthcare", the agency that employs Fauci was giving the Chinese superlab about $75,000 in US taxpayer money to study coronaviruses every year.

baronhk1[m]

MinceR

amazon's move was more obvious

kingoffrance

baronhk1[m], they didnt like bruce lee, although that tries to get rewritten

https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/amazon-offers-replace-orwell-books-kindles/story?id=8498168

MinceR

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-abcnews.go.com | Amazon offers to replace Orwell books on Kindles - ABC News

baronhk1[m]

They likely just modified another SARS-like virus to make it more usable as a way of exterminating the elderly and helping megacorporations that support the Chinese Communist Party become more powerful.

baronhk1[m]

Then they released it and the other world governments pretended to be surprised.

baronhk1[m]

It did most of the damage it was designed to do. Time for it to go away.

baronhk1[m]

Permanently destroyed freedom, wiped out entire nursing homes getting them off Social Security, killed small businesses that tend to be owned by conservatives.

Jun 06 00:21

baronhk1[m]

Led to the political downfall of the first US president that was annoying them in a while.

Jun 06 00:21

MinceR

they don't seem to be against "conservatives" in general

Jun 06 00:21

MinceR

fidSS is trying hard to help the CPC spread its influence

Jun 06 00:22

MinceR

and they're spending my money to make it happen

Jun 06 00:22

baronhk1[m]

Matthew Garrett is a troll that essentially promotes repressive thug governments of various sorts. But the Chinese Communists are one of them.

Jun 06 00:23

baronhk1[m]

His software makes life easier for them, not individuals.

Jun 06 00:23

MinceR

i guess all the slave labor didn't help red china amass enough money that they could pay for their own university in budapest, where all staff and all students are required to be loyal to the CPC

kingoffrance

MinceR, fake right-wing stuff is historically leninism and some argue perestroika

MinceR

well yeah, the part that matters is authoritarianism

MinceR

and that is incredibly popular nowadays

kingoffrance

"left wing communism: an infantile disorder" it was a deliberate tactic

kingoffrance

but that doesnt fit into left/right paradigm

kingoffrance

so down the memory hole

Jun 06 00:25

tr-bridge

[Ariadne/tr] what does any of this have to do with tech rights ?

Jun 06 00:25

MinceR

the connection to one of the greatest enemies of the IT industry: microsoft.

Jun 06 00:25

baronhk1[m]

If you follow what Garrett says, it's very obvious he's a Microsoft troll who promotes WSL and says the only way to have secure computing is with Microsoft signing EXEs in your boot bath.

Jun 06 00:27

baronhk1[m]

*path

Jun 06 00:27

kingoffrance

its no different than EEE

Jun 06 00:28

tr-bridge

[Ariadne/tr] the only way to have secure computing is to throw x86 in the bin

Jun 06 00:29

tr-bridge

[Ariadne/tr] x86 is hopelessly broken when it comes to security

Jun 06 00:29

MinceR

throwing x86 out isn't going to be enough

Jun 06 00:30

tr-bridge

[Ariadne/tr] no but it is a critical step

Jun 06 00:30

tr-bridge

[Ariadne/tr] x86 is not just hopelessly broken re: security, but comes with malware baked into the CPU now (AMD PSP, Intel ME)

[00:31] <CrystalMath> right, ARM also sucsk

schestowitz

NVIDIA would make it worse, for sure

schestowitz

on the basis on freedom at least

schestowitz

NVIDIA found it could make money without respecting the customer much

schestowitz

or just paying lip service

schestowitz

RISC-V has promise and India as well as China develop designed based on "open" ISAs

schestowitz

so we'll see what comes out of there

schestowitz

India isn't in 5-EYES

schestowitz

or 6 EYES now that Japan informally joined

schestowitz

China was always in the shadows regardless because it typically manufactures from designs

schestowitz

and some accused them of not following those designs and adding BIOS back doors

schestowitz

~2014

schestowitz

chips have become far to complex to study

schestowitz

even the designs alone, not your fabricated dime of silicon

schestowitz

raspi has something interesting now, "silicon" they call it... after apple, for 1 dollar or pound per chip

schestowitz

they sell it in reels!

"Based on this experience, we’ve decided to pull about 40,000 units of RP2040 out of the supply chain and boot up single-unit sales via our Approved Resellers, roughly three months earlier than we’d intended. This will give people time to develop their projects and products, while we clear out the rest of the Pico backlog and scale up production of RP2040. In the autumn we’ll have some serious volume available for anyone who

schestowitz

needs it."

schestowitz

40,000 :-D

MinceR

> 264KB of RAM

MinceR

i wonder how are they going to fit microsoft malware on those

MinceR

should have thought it through...

schestowitz

one laptop per bytes

schestowitz

iirc, netbsd has a very lower total size

Jun 06 00:45

schestowitz

but you can also fit a modern but reduced linux to a floppy disk size

Jun 06 00:45

schestowitz

which comes to show how base linux became bloated but possible to be-fat, not just deblob

schestowitz

maybe there should be micro-gnu/libre

schestowitz

1 MB kernel without blobs

schestowitz

with a very solid core

kingoffrance

there's 16-bit stuff but you probably dont want to go there

schestowitz

you can then add the few drivers you need for it

schestowitz

10 bit, 1k addressing

baronhk1[m]

It would be nice if they could port Linux drivers over to Haiku some more.

schestowitz

2^6=32?

schestowitz

so 32k of ram?

baronhk1[m]

At least they don't have anything as crazy as systemd over there.

kingoffrance

yes, what little ive seen of haiku booted nice and snappy on usb flash on ancient system

schestowitz

wait, 64

schestowitz

should be enough for everyone :-)

schestowitz

divided by 2

MinceR

afaik they already took control of the boot process away from a script in haiku

baronhk1[m]

It was meant to work on small computers. I saw a demo of BeOS in the late 90s and thought for sure it would catch on. It was illegal Microsoft deals that killed it. Like the ones that Matthew Garrett bashes me for exposing throughout the past 20 years.

schestowitz

haiku is interesting and it has the Web browser I now use

kingoffrance

yes, there was court settlment IIRC

baronhk1[m]

Even after the whole antitrust thing played out and DoJ said they didn't need monitored anymore.

schestowitz

devices get smaller all the time

schestowitz

why can't the OSes also?

kingoffrance

believe it mightve been one of those settled out of court, undisclosed amount, dont admit guilt things

schestowitz

like moving from server OSes that are a kitchen sink+ to something like apline?

MinceR

because bloated NSA backdoors are difficult to hide in small OSes :>

MinceR

also because everyone has to run a whole gnome DE at the login prompt

schestowitz

Ariadne managed to reduce our IRC container to just about 6 Linux processes

baronhk1[m]

Reading Garret brag about himself is really just reading about how terrible a programmer he is.

baronhk1[m]

Grabbing hold of any half baked solutions that are unlikely to work for long he can and tying them together then leaving the company before anyone finds out.

schestowitz

ircd:/# ps aux|wc -l

schestowitz

schestowitz

sometimes it grows a bit, but half of them can be eliminated

schestowitz

baronhk1[m]: enough of it

schestowitz

drop that subject

schestowitz

we want to focus on techrights stuff

schestowitz

baronhk1[m]: your utterances became a liability

baronhk1[m]

The fact that the admiration society is Microsofties is pretty telling.

schestowitz

and only the adversaries enjoy it

schestowitz

not news to me

MinceR

it might be easier to move it to a channel that is not publicly logged

schestowitz

he did it last year

schestowitz

anyway, on we move

schestowitz

we already lost a lot of time today, I have some new EPO material

baronhk1[m]

Why do operating systems get bigger? Because of piles of junk that didn't pan out that get frozen in time for compatibility.

schestowitz

MinceR: it would STILL be off topic

schestowitz

which means sort of missing the point

schestowitz

we want good s/n ratio

baronhk1[m]

Microsoft is really bad about doing this and the crap gets bigger. No matter how much of it eventually ages out it'll never go down in size.

schestowitz

baronhk1[m]: it is easy to add things

schestowitz

sometimes removing LOCs is harder

schestowitz

because you don't know what else migth break

schestowitz

esp. if the code is written poorly and not properly compartmentalised

schestowitz

and refactoring takes ages to implement and then also properly test

baronhk1[m]

Red Hat has always done crackpot things. Remember that Red Hat GCC "2.95" compatibility mess?

schestowitz

linux is just feature churn

schestowitz

29+ years of feature churn

schestowitz

they never seem to pause and clean up

kingoffrance

agree re: modular, ideally modular is supposed to at least somewhat reduce bloat, idea being you are making reusable components somewhat

schestowitz

they even added anti-features from UMN

baronhk1[m]

Selinux hit Fedora and broke everything and most people just turned it off entirely.

schestowitz

because "HEY, LOOK, FREE PATCHES!!!"

kingoffrance

and ideally, you only need to swap in things you are actually using at the moment

schestowitz

(from postdocs and students even)

kingoffrance

there is overhead for modularity, but i firmly believe it is supposed to make up for that with other gains

baronhk1[m]

Yes, it's obvious that nobody actually reviewed that.

kingoffrance

it was even how OO was sold

schestowitz

for linux the control over the project is made easier by scale

kingoffrance

reusable objects and classes!

schestowitz

also an RC every late Sunday

schestowitz

nobody can catch up

schestowitz

unless they automate the process, like gnu linux-libre deblobbing

MinceR

at least Linus used to catch some of the crap code and curse out whoever wrote it

schestowitz

new kernel stable / -stable release every 1.5-2 months

schestowitz

and he need to refit the scheduler

schestowitz

barely has a week to even test the darn thing

schestowitz

systemd is release frequently and chrome did the same

schestowitz

no benefit to the user

schestowitz

I think it's an aspect of OSPS

schestowitz

they found new tricks for monopolising

baronhk1[m]

Linux kernel development has never particularly been focused on the needs of desktop and laptop users.

schestowitz

even Free software

schestowitz

you demoralise forkers

baronhk1[m]

Unfortunately, that fucking idiot is usually the person poking around with laptop stuff.

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.enricozini.org | Ansible blockinfile oddity

schestowitz

I worked a bit with ansible

schestowitz

then IBM bought it

schestowitz

and IBM is rotting away

schestowitz

why would I want a production system with some IBM "added value"?

baronhk1[m]

Even when a computer is four or five years old, it's rare that power management is working fully.

baronhk1[m]

And that's probably part of what keeps people on Windows.

schestowitz

heck, they might say due to staff cuts future releases of it, with security bugfixes, won't be compiled for distro version x y

baronhk1[m]

Microsoft making an indecipherable mess of it actually helps them.

schestowitz

but "HERE, HAVE THE SOURCE CODE< GOOD LUCK... it's FREE SOFTWARE" < - systemd in a nutshell, when it breaks

schestowitz

baronhk1[m]: what keeps people on Windows is the OEM strangelhold

schestowitz

thankfully, and they never admit it, they are losing it

schestowitz

in shops now there are sections for Google things

schestowitz

we did not have it 15 years ago

schestowitz

could only dream about a NON-Microsoft section

schestowitz

in a computer/electrics store

baronhk1[m]

Lenovo recommends Ubuntu if you are going to use "Linux" on the ThinkBook.

baronhk1[m]

But that's a big improvement from five years ago.

schestowitz

Some laptops now come with no OS

schestowitz

they let you choose your own distro and version

schestowitz

which is also good

schestowitz

they just test kernel staff for hardware

baronhk1[m]

You couldn't even install Ubuntu then.

schestowitz

and that rewards hardware companies that produce good linux drivers

baronhk1[m]

So even if Ubuntu was the only distribution that worked properly, at least you're not stuck on Windows 10.

schestowitz

Ubuntu us GURANTEED by them to work

schestowitz

like "expiry dates" on products

schestowitz

they likely last a lot longer

schestowitz

but they don't vouch for it

schestowitz

when we buy discounted food, which is almost all the time, we consider how accurate the labels are

baronhk1[m]

The Linux world is getting pretty bad.

schestowitz

usually says "display until"

MinceR

i wonder what definition of "work" that is, considering that they also apply it to Backdoors

schestowitz

or "best before"

baronhk1[m]

SJWs running things, Microsoft behind the curtains, etc.

schestowitz

it's not just Microsoft

baronhk1[m]

Poisoning things with politics and badly written software.

schestowitz

maybe it used to be

schestowitz

it's more sinister than one single company because some motivations overlap

schestowitz

baronhk1[m]: so ww bypass the software

schestowitz

we have many distros still

schestowitz

IBM spoiled the broth with that centOS decision

schestowitz

drove away many fedora volunteers

schestowitz

and gentoo saw a SURGE in contributions last year

schestowitz

people don't trust IBM things as much now

schestowitz

suspicion grew

schestowitz

at work we try to use more Debian

schestowitz

I still mostly trust Debian, and that GR can in the longer term spawn a native Debian akin to Devuan

schestowitz

we tested Devuan recrntly

schestowitz

as a path away from CentOS

schestowitz

wordpress ran OK

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] * from Rocky Linux :)

schestowitz

cloudlinux now makes a distro 'optimised' for wordpress

schestowitz

that was in a press release and some blog posts 2 days ago

baronhk1[m]

Does it have a bunch of kludges that use bits of systemd like others that claim to be free of it do?

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] Finally, a distribution with PHP.

schestowitz

systemd caused me a lot of confusion

schestowitz

this past week I couldn't figure out why gemini wasn't running some daemons

schestowitz

and how to make them start after the reboot

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] systemctl enable

baronhk1[m]

Google tells me a trending search in the US is how to opt out of Amazon Sidewalk.

schestowitz

I know

baronhk1[m]

That's encouraging. Maybe people will opt out of Amazon.

schestowitz

but it didn't work after the reboot

schestowitz

that would be great

baronhk1[m]

Wake up and realize what these damned things are.

schestowitz

they suck up all the income

schestowitz

and they spy

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] systemctl status

schestowitz

if we can free that up

schestowitz

apparently amazon as a company was not even profitable until aws

schestowitz

I read that in some forum, so unverified

schestowitz

they suck up a lot of value from free software they never developed

schestowitz

and many who provide support become just tenants of aws

baronhk1[m]

They were making a lot of money letting Chinese vendors sell counterfeits and review their own products until the USTR started breathing down their neck under Trump.

schestowitz

the liability rule changes came into effect lately

schestowitz

passing some liability to amazon

schestowitz

but too late

schestowitz

they already killed many competitors of theirs

schestowitz

and got a secret special deals with parcel passers

schestowitz

so you cannot compete on delivery price

schestowitz

they also don't pay tax

schestowitz

so good luck competing

schestowitz

g7 is dicussing this now

schestowitz

my dad told me today on the phone

baronhk1[m]

They were also letting their customers bypass state sales taxes for almost 15 years.

schestowitz

they want to introduce some minimum tax rate rules

schestowitz

about time

baronhk1[m]

So if you wanted to buy something locally, there was a 7-10% penalty on price.

schestowitz

schestowitz

"sideload" is a loaded term

there are still relatively "open" systems around

"We're from Mayor Lightfoot's office and were just checking to see if you've gotten shot yet...errr, I mean gotten your shot yet."

like IBM putting some shit in shithub and then saying things like "OPENpower" or "openPOWER"

schestowitz

but that's off topic

It was a joke that I put on Facebook.

Dig at Chicago.

schestowitz

some will never agree to the second (after falling ill from the first AZ shot) and we have almost 70 million people total

schestowitz

back to tech...

schestowitz

IBM is one of several jumping the open bandwagon

schestowitz

with front groups and all to hail their "openness"

baronhk1[m]

They must know who hasn't gotten one or else how would they know where to send the people to nag and shame?

schestowitz

They try to shut the FSF up

schestowitz

because FSF still has higher standards

At 33%, this gives the Foundation a poor score of 2.5 on the Charity Navigator's administrative expense metric.

Probably the main point of these phones that Walmart is handing out is that they'll have Bluetooth LE all over the store, so they'll know exactly where every employee is. It's like having them tagged.

Jun 06 06:01

baronhk1[m]

It struck me that they were planning to put Bluetooth LE devices all over their stores anyway.

Jun 06 06:01

rbraun

yeah, walmart *would* do such a thing...

Jun 06 06:01

baronhk1[m]

If they activate it on these phones, then they'll know within 3 feet of where each employee is.

Jun 06 06:02

baronhk1[m]

They don't have the ability to do that right now, and they've been getting really irritated about time clock theft since the new wage increases.

Jun 06 06:03

baronhk1[m]

They've fired about 15% of the store employees and posted the jobs as open in the last couple of months.

Jun 06 06:03

baronhk1[m]

The phone would detect when the employee is at work and only open the me@walmart app, and having Walmart agree to pay the phone bill each month would probably be enough to get many employees to cancel their current provider, which means they now have a phone where they couldn't goof off on it at work if they wanted to.

Jun 06 06:05

baronhk1[m]

It makes sense. Walmart is already an mvno, so this will be cheap to implement and they get to pitch it as a perk of working there.

"Amazon Ring is malware for many reasons, but one of which is that it stores your doorbell video on an Amazon Clown server and police departments across the country can access it and even turn it on without your permission. A man in Michigan is up on charges and his own doorbell recorded him.

baronhk1[m]

Now it's botnet malware. So, uhhhm, have fun with that."

that sounds like another snowden and/or greenwald thing, privacy for me, not for you

kingoffrance

would that people got live feed into police station

rbraun

er, what about that is snowden or greenwald?

kingoffrance

then it would 180 and suddenly be a great invasino of pirvacy

kingoffrance

it was a quote

kingoffrance

i just dont recall which one said it. about how privacy is a one way street

kingoffrance

the same time powers that be are securing their stuff, everyone else is getting tagged and monitored

rbraun

ahhh okay

rbraun

yes, it's true

kingoffrance

one of those inverse equations

kingoffrance

im a little tired sorry

rbraun

baronhk1[m]: where is that from? i'm trying to look up the michigan case

Jun 06 06:25

rbraun

yeah

Jun 06 06:25

baronhk1[m]

A black teenager walked up and started banging on some guy's door so the guy figured that there was about to be a home invasion and fired a couple of warning shots to scare him off.

Jun 06 06:26

baronhk1[m]

The doorbell caught it and they're using the video against him in court.

Jun 06 06:26

baronhk1[m]

They decided that the homeowner committed attempted murder or something.

baronhk1[m]

If he hadn't put the Ring Doorbell there then there at least wouldn't have been any video evidence that could be used against him.

Jun 06 06:28

baronhk1[m]

So he paid Amazon to hand the state evidence in his own criminal trial.

Jun 06 06:28

rbraun

ah thanks

Jun 06 06:28

baronhk1[m]

The presumption of innocence is stronger the less evidence the state has, obviously.

Jun 06 06:29

baronhk1[m]

So without the video he may have at least negotiated a better plea deal.

Jun 06 06:29

baronhk1[m]

The left demanded body cameras on all the cops and then when it became clear that the vast majority of the time the cops did nothing wrong and it was the guy they pulled over who tried to pull a gun on them or back up over them......they ignored that and continued with their previous narrative.

rbraun

well, neither of those convinces me body cameras on cops are wrong tho

rbraun

whether it catches bad cops or crooks

baronhk1[m]

The cities are making the cops wear them because of the settlements they were having to make out of court because juries would just sort of guess at what happened.

rbraun

the ring thing is scarier given it's surveillance where it hasn't been

Jun 06 06:32

rbraun

that isn't the most endearing test case for it but i bet there will be some better ones

Jun 06 06:32

rbraun

and, it's surveillance that even the owner can't delete, in this case, before the cops get their hands on it

Jun 06 06:32

baronhk1[m]

Now that it can just connect to the neighbor's wifi, you have to wonder how long it'll be before some pervert like Garrett is trying to break into your home network using that as the open door.

Jun 06 06:33

baronhk1[m]

It's well known (he even admits) that iot devices have awful security and are normally not updated to deal with hundreds or thousands of CVEs and now everyone with an Amazon device is going to be in everyone else's wifi network.

Jun 06 06:33

baronhk1[m]

It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Jun 06 06:34

kingoffrance

yeah i saw a special on one of the news things. they asked the blurred image deep voice hacker how he got in. default passwords. just to show you can

Jun 06 06:34

baronhk1[m]

Routers have awful security too. REAVER attacks still work on some (like mine) in their default state.

baronhk1[m]

I disabled the feature that enables that exploit.

kingoffrance

it was all mysterious and spooky, but in the end, no magic, no sneaking around, no social engineering even, it was just due to laziness

baronhk1[m]

There's also some still out there that allow the user to choose WEP without telling them why not to choose that.

baronhk1[m]

(Mine does.)

baronhk1[m]

Or offers them TKIP. (Mine does)

Jun 06 06:36

baronhk1[m]

I'm not throwing this thing out until it's shot.

Jun 06 06:36

baronhk1[m]

They're not giving them away.

Jun 06 06:36

baronhk1[m]

WEP/TKIP is being removed from Windows 10 soon.

rbraun

"normally not updated" then some lawmakers try to force you to use updated software, and only from the vendor, and you're in tivoized hell

baronhk1[m]

For the last year or so it would just nag if you try to connect.

kingoffrance

obligatory: https://xkcd.com/538/

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-xkcd: Security

rbraun

so i usually just shut up about that problem and let people deal with their own insecure shit

baronhk1[m]

If the user isn't allowed to even understand how these things work, much less have any real control over what they're doing, then they shouldn't use them.

rbraun

yeah i agree with that statement

Jun 06 06:39

baronhk1[m]

The only people who actually like Ring doorbells are people like my sister in law who think people are coming to steal her shoes and the car that breaks down all the time with 20 more payments.

Jun 06 06:39

rbraun

yeah

rbraun

amazon gets people to adopt them by having terrible transparency in their own shipping times

rbraun

so people never know when to look for packages and think they might be getting stolen

baronhk1[m]

We went there for Thanksgiving and her husband turned out to be creepier than she is.

baronhk1[m]

"I think the case for protecting the AR-15 is greater than the case for protecting the handgun," Blackman said. "The Second Amendment has a couple touchstones: One is self-defense. The other one is protection from the government itself. This is the weapon."

Jun 06 06:51

baronhk1[m]

Well, you know I had the Gimmedat Party as much as anyone, but....

Jun 06 06:51

baronhk1[m]

Does that mean that if rocket launchers had been commonly available before there was any law against them, that they too would have been protected by the second amendment?

Jun 06 06:52

baronhk1[m]

"After that, legal observers say, it's possible the Supreme Court will step in to settle the matter. But that's far from certain. In 2016, the high court declined to hear a challenge to assault weapons bans in Connecticut and New York. The year before, the court rejected a similar challenge over local ordinances in Cook County, Ill."

Jun 06 06:53

baronhk1[m]

Yes, but things have changed.

Jun 06 06:53

baronhk1[m]

For one thing, the liberal witch is dead.

Jun 06 06:53

baronhk1[m]

Richard Stallman is big on abortion. He ignores the fact that most of the people who get them are black women, and that it lowers the pressure on the same government to do anything to lift black people out of poverty.

Jun 06 06:55

baronhk1[m]

They'll be less of the voters, the ones that do survive will be statistically a little better off and more likely to support the Republicans because of that, and white people will see cleaner cities instead of going "Oh my god, this is terrible.".

Jun 06 06:56

baronhk1[m]

If Stallman was a proponent of measures that enabled people to get a job and earn their money and come to despise the government for taking it away from them to waste on god only knows what, then there wouldn't be as much of a need in the first place.

baronhk1[m]

*people like Stallman

rbraun

what "liberal witch"??

baronhk1[m]

RBG

rbraun

pfffffffff

rbraun

the cult of personality around her was one of the dumbest things the liberals ever did, and i say that as personally being on the left and not being too happy about the result

Jun 06 06:58

rbraun

but i think the conservatives are overestimating how much it will shift the court. every decision is its own thing

Jun 06 06:58

baronhk1[m]

The gay rights decisions have moved to the left since Trump appointed 3 judges to the Supreme Court.

Jun 06 07:00

baronhk1[m]

They were 5-4 and now many are 6-3.

Jun 06 07:00

baronhk1[m]

I think Roe will be curtailed.

Jun 06 07:02

baronhk1[m]

They may not end it entirely. No state has tried to defy the Roe decision by making a law that would ban abortion completely.

Jun 06 07:02

baronhk1[m]

With the way doctor visits work now, you can probably do this on an app anyway.

Jun 06 07:03

[schestowitz/tr] no new information, it's basically as I understand it and a consistent explanation

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] 2FA is problematic for several reasons

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] I can explain why

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] but it would take a while

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] case of point, days ago rianne and I spent 2 days trying to regain control of her paypal account

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] because paypal added a "factor"

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] which we had no access to

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] so after much "HEY HI" phonecalls (expensive phonecalls where you just talk to a robot) we managed to speak to an actual person

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] answered some basic security question

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] and she ("Anne", sounded like American or Northern Irish based on the accent) added our landline as a "factor"

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] that wasn't real security

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] it just just a box-ticking exercise from them

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] that would also prevent us accessing that access if we are on holidaya

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] because we don't have access to the landline

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] so there's your 'security'

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] congrats, you made access to the account work from just one single household, or let people guess a 4-digit access code

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] hardly 'secure'

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] side note (funny):

Jun 06 07:42

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] to contact paypal or get a phone number you need to first log in

Jun 06 07:42

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] so how can you contact them about being locked out in the first place? You cannot log in, that is fundamentally the problem

buzzert: good question

schestowitz

it's how this thing is built for expansiob

schestowitz

otherwise you're have 31,000 URLs in one page

buzzert

i think you can do that with CSS

schestowitz

and big strain on DB

schestowitz

with CSS it would not load on demand

buzzert

they cant just link to other pages?

[schestowitz/tr] we finally have some calm

tr-bridge

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] no more blog posts about move here, there, this thing is evil, this is great...

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] we need to stop that infighting in general tbh

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] I got some major leaks from EPO

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] and am working hard to expose them in the coming week, in a multi-party fashion

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] schestowitz: Yes. I think a lot of people think that what tomaw did was add his OTP client as an authentication factor barring Andrew's access.

psydroid

we need to build bridges to cross the river to the land of free software

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] would rather not write about IRC, or other sorts of 'distractions' (what I consider them to be to our goals)

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] psydroid and eliminate software patents

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] first in Europe

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] then elsewhere

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] it's easier from Europe

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] schestowitz: But the evidence points to tomaw just adding a 2FA requirement for everyone with access to the domains.

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] did they get a chance to log in and add a "factor"?

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] If not, it can have the effect of shutting them out

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] And that makes a lot of difference, especially when lawyers are involved.

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] unless tomaw then added a "factor" (like phone number) for rasengan etc.

Jun 06 13:11

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] I got shut out from paypal last week

Jun 06 13:11

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] because of that factor BS

Jun 06 13:11

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] schestowitz: I'm using Gandi screenshots to show that the account and the organisation are separate.

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] 2FA, where one factor I do not have

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] and to change that I need to log in, which obviously I cannot (catch-22)

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] if rasengan was not really shut out, then he could log in and change it back

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] no need for lawyers to get involved

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] anyway, I'm back to writing about EPO

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] anything that revives IRC insfighting harms all projects involved

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] libreoffice, gentoo etc.

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] we lost 1-2 weeks worth of work

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] and some people do not move across networks

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] bbiab

tr-bridge

[schestowitz/tr] gotta write urgently

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] schestowitz: 1. add TOTP to the account; 2. remove the requirement; 3. remove TOTP

Jun 06 13:14

tr-bridge

[XRevan86/tr] schestowitz: It's very easy to imagine that an organisation in Gandi can have a setting to require 2FA for prudency.
