| activelow | a thought crossed my mind, concerning GPL2 infringements and exactly who could take legal action and whose freedoms are protected then | Jul 06 04:08 |
| activelow | if an authore published software with GPL applied which then was infringed by someone the author can take legal action, such as to enforce compensation for re-licensing | Jul 06 04:09 |
| activelow | question is if any other user of that software who is *not* the author could enforce GPL copyleft then | Jul 06 04:10 |
| activelow | i think, not sure, any such user who is not the author can benefit from what was published with GPL, yet only authors can effectively enforce copyleft or compensation in case of an infringement | Jul 06 04:33 |
| activelow | http://techrights.org/2021/06/02/gcc-copyright-assignment/ | Jul 06 04:33 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | It Remains Largely Unclear Whose Idea It Was to Change GCC Copyright Assignment Practices (or How/Why It Started) | Techrights | Jul 06 04:33 | |
| *job (~job@faedm9en5b78c.irc) has joined #techrights | Jul 06 04:34 | |
| activelow | ^ so, when fsf insisted copyright was transferred with GCC contributions only fsf could enforce copyleft or compensation against whoever might infringed GPL | Jul 06 04:34 |
| *pandakekok9 (~job@user/job) has joined #techrights | Jul 06 04:35 | |
| activelow | which could be even more problematic than several different entities retaining their copyright when contributing to GCC, since then multiple business entities had to be bribed to tolerate GPL infringement, instead of fsf only | Jul 06 04:38 |
| activelow | anyway, from a technical perspective, the fsf did not prevent harm to GCC with big vendors bloating it for their interests, which has severe practical consequences already: | Jul 06 04:59 |
| activelow | - type of vendor lock-in by c++ | Jul 06 04:59 |
| Ariadne | i think ending copyright assignment is good, actually. | Jul 06 04:59 |
| Ariadne | GCC will be forced to remain under GPL, this way. | Jul 06 05:00 |
| activelow | - lock-in to gcc itself, it isn't easily replaced by PCC for example anymore, and PCC had not received the attention it deserved by "big foss" corporations | Jul 06 05:00 |
| Ariadne | IBM or Microsoft or whoever, cannot take over the FSF board and draft a new GPLv4 and fuck us over | Jul 06 05:00 |
| activelow | i think GCC is fucked already | Jul 06 05:00 |
| activelow | for technical reasons | Jul 06 05:00 |
| Ariadne | from a technical perspective i agree | Jul 06 05:01 |

| kingoffrance | well i guess the interesting thing is i think there are other people who agree with this -- just they say thats "fsf quality code" or "open source" at work etc. instead of "big vendors". im not defending that, just how some ppl spin it | Jul 06 05:08 |
| kingoffrance | fsf will take blame anyhow | Jul 06 05:09 |
| kingoffrance | i saw lots of "open source" comments like this on freenode, which didnt distinguish free software of course, but made me wonder why they were there etc. | Jul 06 05:10 |
| kingoffrance | is clang any easier to "bootstrap" ? | Jul 06 05:11 |
| Ariadne | clang is a mess | Jul 06 05:11 |
| drazak/fn | it's not as if products from big vendors don't suck | Jul 06 05:11 |
| kingoffrance | some of the ppl i have seen who do care are those who want "seedability" | Jul 06 05:12 |
| kingoffrance | i.e. to keep distro buildable with few external dependencies, at least to get the ball rolling | Jul 06 05:12 |
| Ariadne | gcc in three-pass compile mode proves that gcc is reproducible | Jul 06 05:12 |
| Ariadne | i have to give RMS credit there, his insistence on three-pass mode being default was ahead of its time | Jul 06 05:13 |
| kingoffrance | yes, i should distinguish "small dependencies" from "reproducability" maybe | Jul 06 05:13 |
| activelow | i would trace the root cause of evil back to c++ -> Big Telco (Stroustrup, Bell Labs AT&T ...) | Jul 06 05:13 |
| Ariadne | but, gcc is really buggy these days | Jul 06 05:13 |
| activelow | and some code paths do remain for non-c++ system deployments (GNU, gnome, vala) | Jul 06 05:14 |
| Ariadne | i do not look forward to gcc 11 upgrade at all | Jul 06 05:14 |
| activelow | i am planning to drop cxx entirely, and dig into PCC for example, not sure yet. could be this is beyond my abilities and competence | Jul 06 05:15 |
| *CrystalMath has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jul 06 05:16 | |
| activelow | technical problems are: lack of backported aarch64 support to pcc for example; widget toolkits depending on cxx (qt in particular); linux kernel dependencies against gcc extensions (not sure how severe these are) | Jul 06 05:17 |
| kingoffrance | i dunno, i dont keep up with these tings. i remember talk of pcc a long time ago for bsds, now it looks like all have clang (fbsd 10, net 6 in base but not built by default, open switched for i386 and x86_64 in 2017) | Jul 06 05:18 |
| activelow | i do have a toolchain created with gentoo crossev already, and a bootable system which has removed c++ entirely and contains all required gentoo tooling | Jul 06 05:18 |
| activelow | llvm/clang isn't a viable alternative either imo: c++ | Jul 06 05:18 |
| kingoffrance | yeah, thats what i thought | Jul 06 05:18 |
| activelow | then, gentoo tooling (which is crucial imo), too vendor locked-in gcc itself; wouldn't want to miss crossdev | Jul 06 05:20 |

| schestowitz | regarding GCC, I'm no expert, just an occasional user, but it seems rather inelegant when compilers get so big because hardware 'extensions' need some code thrown at the compiler | Jul 06 06:04 |
| schestowitz | makes it very hard to maintain | Jul 06 06:04 |
| gustaf | well the obvious way around that is to target a VM | Jul 06 06:05 |
| gustaf | or interpreter | Jul 06 06:06 |
| gustaf | from what I've recently learned that's what Pascal did | Jul 06 06:06 |
| gustaf | isn't LLVM a bit more modular? | Jul 06 06:06 |
| schestowitz | I don't know | Jul 06 06:11 |
| schestowitz | did you check the code? | Jul 06 06:11 |
| gustaf | not a C programmer mysefl | Jul 06 06:13 |
| gustaf | I just follow people who are | Jul 06 06:13 |
| gustaf | in the end it comes down to person-hours | Jul 06 06:14 |
| gustaf | people to code, to sit on comittees, to write proposals etc etc | Jul 06 06:14 |
| gustaf | free/open source is at a huge disadvantage there | Jul 06 06:14 |
| gustaf | because corps have ample resources to fund that sort of bureucracy | Jul 06 06:15 |
| gustaf | so there's a certain amount of red queens race just keeping up with new standards | Jul 06 06:16 |
| kingoffrance | "well the obvious way around that is to target a VM" sure but doesnt this just move complexity to a new place? | Jul 06 06:33 |
| kingoffrance | may still be worth it, but im not sure "size" doesnt just get shifted | Jul 06 06:34 |
| schestowitz | doesn't java do that? | Jul 06 06:34 |
| activelow | kingoffrance: "VM" isn't specific. it is either JIT compilation or AOT, in principle. | Jul 06 06:35 |
| activelow | some language constructs (java reflection mechanism, dynamic typing), i think, imply some JIT compilation - no expert with this | Jul 06 06:42 |
| activelow | some other language constructs (exceptions, garbage collection) require some type of macro expansion and code generation | Jul 06 06:44 |
| activelow | i think Vala (gnome project) is/was one of the most interesting languages, because it utilises C language as intermediate and AOT compiles, and offeres a rich set of features | Jul 06 06:45 |
| lockeanarchist | Ariadne: Is GCC doomed for you? | Jul 06 06:46 |
| schestowitz | it's too easy to get all pessimistic | Jul 06 06:46 |
| schestowitz | the media isn't helping, it contributes to fear that omits similar issues in proprietary software/compilers | Jul 06 06:47 |
| schestowitz | defeatism is an enemy | Jul 06 06:47 |
| schestowitz | morale games | Jul 06 06:47 |
| lockeanarchist | I don't know if this decision was made by GCC devs because they were against RMS' decision or something | Jul 06 06:47 |
| schestowitz | 500 out of 500 of the world's most important machines run a system compiled with GCC | Jul 06 06:47 |
| lockeanarchist | But stripping the GCC's CLA obligation was good | Jul 06 06:48 |
| activelow | i consider gcc dead end | Jul 06 06:49 |
| activelow | since version 4.7 iirc | Jul 06 06:50 |
| lockeanarchist | Because of GCC's adoption of C++ code? | Jul 06 06:51 |
| activelow | several reasons | Jul 06 06:51 |
| activelow | including c++ | Jul 06 06:52 |
| activelow | cannot catch up with "big foss" anymore anyway, nor big telco, nor am i willing to | Jul 06 06:56 |
| lockeanarchist | Truth is: LLVM took all corporate support from GCC | Jul 06 06:56 |
| lockeanarchist | FLOSS is totally dependent on corporations now | Jul 06 06:56 |
| lockeanarchist | that's the sad reality | Jul 06 06:56 |
| activelow | year 2000 already Deutsche Telekom couldn't arrange for a sane university schedule anymore already | Jul 06 06:58 |
| lockeanarchist | Not a surprise MIT/Apache is so popular now. GPL is like a sentence that any big company won't touch your code. I see many projects that are pretty ahead of the competition in their space and nobody paid by these companies would touch its code. | Jul 06 07:01 |

| activelow | i mean, even professors complained several times the schedule wouldn't allow to lecture the basics to students anymore | Jul 06 07:02 |
| activelow | ^ and THIS is the real issue | Jul 06 07:04 |
| activelow | operating systems are only a minor part of the lecture btw., and A. Tanenbaum had reasons to object to Linux | Jul 06 07:07 |
| activelow | minix recently too switched compiler, to clang iirc, and netbsd tree -> dead end | Jul 06 07:07 |
| activelow | and this is where gnu and fsf belong, into universities, instead of some big corporations and their short sighted interests to generate cash flow for their shareholders | Jul 06 07:08 |
| activelow | the reason gnu and fsf will fail with their gcc is this: it may not be appropriate for university lecture anymore, correct me if i am in error with this judgement | Jul 06 07:09 |
| kingoffrance | " instead of some big corporations and their short sighted interests to generate cash flow for their shareholders" is that not related to "the schedule wouldn't allow to lecture the basics to students anymore" | Jul 06 07:10 |
| kingoffrance | aren't these the same issue? | Jul 06 07:10 |
| activelow | i mean, the entire technological progress and blather about "big tech", innovation, hey hi, is futile, useless, if all this cannot be lectured reasonably to students anymore | Jul 06 07:11 |
| kingoffrance | well i think that is intentional -- its not considered important that most people know the details etc. | Jul 06 07:13 |
| activelow | the horror is even worse in the realm of telco engineering, of which the typical foss is only a minor fraction of the concerns involved | Jul 06 07:13 |
| leah | schestowitz: i'm sorry sorry, i'll have savegnu online asap | Jul 06 07:13 |
| leah | i've been tying up loose ends. there are certain things i needed to take care of first. i've had to get some affairs in order. i expect this campaign to end up being huge | Jul 06 07:14 |
| leah | if it works the way i hope, it'll end up taking up all my time | Jul 06 07:14 |
| leah | ...my mentality is: someone has to do it | Jul 06 07:14 |
| activelow | it is no coincidence gnu and fsf hadn't realized the severity around Xilinx and hardware development (100% proprietary to my knowledge), since they lost their connection with Universities and relevant lectures there entirely | Jul 06 07:15 |
| lockeanarchist | one that did many travels and spread the word was.. RMS | Jul 06 07:16 |
| leah | thing is, the essence of my ideas are simple, so i'm actually not worried. what matters is how i put them across, more than details. my idea is simple. we discussed it here the other day | Jul 06 07:17 |
| lockeanarchist | I like RMS but I think the FSF/GNU image became too centralized on RMS. Now people canceled RMS | Jul 06 07:18 |
| leah | the details are whatever happens if the idea is attempted. that's something that will evolve. such is the nature of... software development. otherwise the concept of paying devs and encouraging way more donations to come in as a result, well that's not hard to wrap your head around. then fsf can start directing real resources towards tackling real problems, all under copyleft, | Jul 06 07:19 |
| leah | combatting the current trends of permissive licensing... there are many unexpected things that will happen that i can't predict. all i can say is: if implemented correctly and successful, i think lots of people will be happier with more/better free software | Jul 06 07:19 |
| leah | instead of going to work for google, and probably making the world worse, you go work for fsf, and make free software better for everyone | Jul 06 07:20 |
| lockeanarchist | Yeah, I agree | Jul 06 07:20 |
| leah | fsf took in 3million during 2019 and had half a million surplus | Jul 06 07:21 |
| lockeanarchist | I think that FSF needs to catch this opportunity and recruit devs | Jul 06 07:21 |
| lockeanarchist | free-rms was sucessful | Jul 06 07:21 |
| leah | if people see that fsf is doing actual software development, i reckon we can get that up to 6million | Jul 06 07:21 |
| leah | that's an extra 3mil. that pays 30 full-time devs 100k salaries. well, 25 | Jul 06 07:22 |
| leah | that's doable | Jul 06 07:22 |
| leah | but most projects don't require full time work | Jul 06 07:22 |
| leah | these people will be put to the paces, working on multiple projects. or you will have lots of part time devs | Jul 06 07:22 |
| leah | i see this being successful. and if it is, in 5 years from now... good things will have happened | Jul 06 07:23 |
| leah | well i want to convince the fsf of this, and for them to put me in charge of getting it up and running... or someone else who agrees with my ideas | Jul 06 07:24 |
| leah | i need to show that this idea can be popular though. hence the site | Jul 06 07:24 |
| lockeanarchist | rms support letter had many support from china and russia, imagine what fsf could do to advance free software in china. I don't agree with chinese government, but we see that many chinese like the free software philosophy | Jul 06 07:24 |
| activelow | free software is one aspect, of: freedom of science | Jul 06 07:26 |
| leah | lockeanarchist: and yes free-rms is a perfect example of how successful such an organised movement can be | Jul 06 07:26 |
| lockeanarchist | if you look now in github, chinese devs are much more likely to license their code in GPL | Jul 06 07:27 |
| leah | i mean imo fsf/gnu is dead in 5-10 years unless bold actions are taken now, and the work is put in now, to bring things in order | Jul 06 07:27 |
| leah | because otherwise i think if fsf doesn't take control, all these projects will continue to splinter and move away | Jul 06 07:28 |
| leah | gnu.org must remain intact. that's the goal here | Jul 06 07:28 |
| lockeanarchist | leah: that gnu assembly something is still going on | Jul 06 07:28 |
| lockeanarchist | ? | Jul 06 07:28 |
| leah | yes, absolutely | Jul 06 07:28 |
| lockeanarchist | ;( | Jul 06 07:28 |
| leah | right now it's an agreement called the "social contract" and sort of an informal arrangement, but powerful moves have already taken place | Jul 06 07:29 |
| lockeanarchist | Mozilla Firefox is the perfect example of what happens when you cave in to big tech | Jul 06 07:29 |
| leah | e.g. gcc devs removing rms and no longer requiring fsf copyright assignement for code contributions | Jul 06 07:29 |
| lockeanarchist | gnu assembly, something, is doing the same move | Jul 06 07:29 |

Microsoft received some payback when his government recently passed a new law on the “autonomy of the universities”.

| activelow | what an irony, taxes evaded by those were intended to fund universities | Jul 06 07:50 |

| gustaf | and Java was the lang of choice when I left KTH in Sweden in ~1997 | Jul 06 07:57 |
| activelow | instead of paying taxes, for universities to decide for themselves, yes. Vala was ETH Zurich. | Jul 06 07:57 |

| DaemonFC | "Yeah, remember when there weren't smartphones? You just balanced your checkbook by hand or with quickbooks and if you wanted to know what was going on, you asked someone? | Jul 06 15:03 |

| DaemonFC | Consumertards love this, but they didn't stop there. As stupid as smartphones are, they at least pretend to have a purpose. "Smart" speakers that listen to your home all the time don't even pretend to do that, and now thanks to Peloton you can spend $2,500 for a stationary bike that has a tablet that won't do anything except what Peloton tells it to do, for $39.99 a month." | Jul 06 15:03 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Walmart's selling stationary bikes that are basically a copycat peloton but without the bigass tablet that requires a $40 a month subscription. | Jul 06 16:10 |
| DaemonFC | Also, the stationary bike is $449, not $2500. | Jul 06 16:10 |

| DaemonFC | I'm going to grill some tonight. I noticed that there's quite a large sodium difference between brands. Like, your doctor will say avoid hotdogs, but which ones? Right? One brand has 550 mg sodium per hotdog, and the other has 350. | Jul 06 17:32 |

| *Ariadne shrugs | Jul 06 18:27 | |
| Ariadne | i dont really see the point of this project anyway, industry has basically standardized on UE and Unity | Jul 06 18:28 |
| MinceR | i'm not sure about the legality of unity on any platform other than windows | Jul 06 18:30 |
| lockeanarchist | well... many studios have their own engines | Jul 06 18:30 |
| MinceR | and UE doesn't seem to support anything other than windows anymore | Jul 06 18:31 |
| lockeanarchist | so, imo, is far from "standardized" | Jul 06 18:31 |
| lockeanarchist | UE and Unity are just the most used by indie | Jul 06 18:31 |
| MinceR | also, UE is proprietary | Jul 06 18:31 |
| Ariadne | UE can build payloads for mac and linux still | Jul 06 18:32 |
| Ariadne | yes, proprietary | Jul 06 18:32 |
| lockeanarchist | I don't have any faith on Amazon | Jul 06 18:32 |
| Ariadne | but nobody will actually use o3de | Jul 06 18:32 |
| lockeanarchist | they always ignore Linux | Jul 06 18:32 |
| Ariadne | handing it off to LF is a cry for help imo | Jul 06 18:32 |
| gerikson | is it like Apache | Jul 06 18:33 |
| Ariadne | making game engines isnt exactly an LF specialty | Jul 06 18:33 |
| gerikson | where unloved projects go to die | Jul 06 18:33 |
| lockeanarchist | Linux foundation is for everything but Linux | Jul 06 18:33 |
| Ariadne | gerikson: i've compared LF to ASF before, and there is certainly some element to it | Jul 06 18:34 |
| gerikson | heh | Jul 06 18:34 |
| Ariadne | lockeanarchist: theres a lot of Linux going on at LF, actually | Jul 06 18:34 |
| Ariadne | its just | Jul 06 18:34 |
| Ariadne | boring shit | Jul 06 18:34 |
| Ariadne | that the marketing department cannot hype | Jul 06 18:34 |
| lockeanarchist | "Foundations", they do everything but actually help the development of the project that named them | Jul 06 18:35 |
| Ariadne | yeah, the linux foundation doesn't help linux development by paying people to work on it, including linus | Jul 06 18:36 |
| Ariadne | you've got it | Jul 06 18:36 |
| lockeanarchist | okay, they pay Linus and T'so | Jul 06 18:36 |
| lockeanarchist | totally justified | Jul 06 18:36 |
| Ariadne | and Greg KH | Jul 06 18:37 |

| MinceR | epic doesn't seem to support them anymore | Jul 06 18:38 |
| Ariadne | there are certainly valid criticisms of LF, but a decent chunk of the money going out *is* going to FOSS developers | Jul 06 18:38 |
| MinceR | they pay gkh to put daemons into the kernel in an attempt to make them perform less poorly | Jul 06 18:39 |
| Ariadne | are you referring to kdbus? | Jul 06 18:42 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.theguardian.com | Nowhere is safe, say scientists as extreme heat causes chaos in US and Canada | Climate change | The Guardian | Jul 06 19:44 | |
| DaemonFC | “Our thoughts are with people who have lost loved ones,” said Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, warning the blistering temperatures in a region of the country ill-prepared for such heat was a reminder of the need to address the climate crisis. | Jul 06 19:44 |

| DaemonFC | Wasn't he recently saying how outrageous it was that the United States canceled the pipeline for their tar sands oil? | Jul 06 19:44 |
| DaemonFC | Also, greenwashing the project and making false claims about job numbers that have already been debunked. | Jul 06 19:45 |
| DaemonFC | The main source of pain at the gas pump in Illinois and Indiana recently has been the government increasing the gas taxes. | Jul 06 19:45 |
| DaemonFC | By 25 cents a gallon all at once in Indiana and by 40 cents per gallon in Illinois over the course of two fiscal years. | Jul 06 19:46 |
| DaemonFC | The federal government has been very stingy with roadd money and if states don't want to put up toll booths, they have to figure out ways to add electric vehicle use taxes and new gasoline taxes. | Jul 06 19:47 |
| DaemonFC | And that hurts. It hurts working class people more because they're the ones who have no choice but to do in-person jobs. | Jul 06 19:47 |

| DaemonFC | "Foreign workers, brought in on J-1 work-and-study visas, typically filled many such summer jobs. But President Donald Trump suspended those visas as a coronavirus precaution, and the number of U.S.-issued J-1 visas tumbled 69% in the fiscal 2020 year — to 108,510, from 353,279 the year before. | Jul 06 21:21 |
| DaemonFC | In past years, for example, foreigners visiting the U.S. on visas took filled 180 summer jobs at Big Kahuna’s water park in Destin, Florida. Last year, there were just three. This year, eight. Desperate to attract local teens, Big Kahuna’s, which is owned by Boomers Parks, is now paying $12 an hour, up from less than $10 an hour in past years." | Jul 06 21:21 |

| DaemonFC | I liked how the media connected Trump to a $2 an hour wage increase (by stoking racism and anti-immigrant sentiment) when the state of Illinois just passed a law that gave most people working jobs like that $5. | Jul 06 21:34 |
| DaemonFC | Like, you know, they have to pay that to anyone who gets the job because....law. | Jul 06 21:34 |
| DaemonFC | And they have the money. Even theme parks. I mean, they don't have to pay people $10 an hour. They make all kinds of money. You know how much markup they get on things? You pay for tickets an then you get there and they upsell you a "line skipper pass" and you go "Hey, that is a nice feature. If we pay these people more we won't have to stand behind those other people!" and then there's like $9 hot dogs and $5 Cokes and stuff. | Jul 06 21:36 |
| DaemonFC | I don't know why people even go to amusement parks, honestly. Many are not built well. You see injuries and deaths in the news all the time, and they just get to keep running them like that anyway. | Jul 06 21:37 |
| DaemonFC | "Wendy’s, which relies on teens to salt fries and ring up orders, added a way for applicants to apply for a job through their smartphones. Applicants are screened using artificial intelligence, which gets them to an interview faster than if they uploaded a resume. The idea is to hire them before another employer can." | Jul 06 21:38 |
| DaemonFC | There's on topic, schestowitz | Jul 06 21:38 |
| DaemonFC | Wendys hires people and the decider is Hey Hi! | Jul 06 21:38 |
| DaemonFC | You know what says "This business is all about people!"? Have a computer program decide if you're worth hiring or not! | Jul 06 21:39 |
| DaemonFC | My god, not even Walmart has gone there yet, but they're close. They have a mostly-online hiring process, but you still do an interview with an actual person. | Jul 06 21:40 |
| DaemonFC | Also, since when has a hamburger joint worried if someone else hires an applicant first? | Jul 06 21:40 |
| DaemonFC | If you had lots of options, you probably wouldn't be dropping an application at a hamburger joint. | Jul 06 21:41 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, I think we should just make a collective agreement to regress technologically. | Jul 06 21:41 |
| DaemonFC | Nokia 3000 series phones, MP3 stores, in-person hiring.... | Jul 06 21:42 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: let's cooperate on some article | Jul 06 21:42 |
| schestowitz | pick a topic | Jul 06 21:42 |
| schestowitz | enough of life gossip | Jul 06 21:42 |
| schestowitz | we can make better use of this platform | Jul 06 21:42 |
| schestowitz | you told me about another aspects of tech on car we should cover in a part 2 | Jul 06 21:43 |
| schestowitz | but I forgot what it was | Jul 06 21:43 |
| DaemonFC | Well, there's the insurance devices/apps that spy on you promising discounts and then that can backfire horribly. | Jul 06 21:43 |
| DaemonFC | They say in the tiny print you may save 10%, or you may pay 26% more. | Jul 06 21:43 |
| schestowitz | yeah | Jul 06 21:43 |
| schestowitz | I don't know enough about it | Jul 06 21:43 |
| DaemonFC | That's kind of a "You have more to lose than they do." proposition. | Jul 06 21:43 |
| schestowitz | my friend who's a uni prof told me | Jul 06 21:44 |
| schestowitz | you get discounts to be spied on | Jul 06 21:44 |
| schestowitz | or conversely, they rip you off for NOT installing one | Jul 06 21:44 |
| DaemonFC | I just don't believe my privacy is worth a 10% discount on some car insurance that probably costs me $900 a year. | Jul 06 21:44 |
| DaemonFC | But, in fact, it won't even be that. | Jul 06 21:44 |
| schestowitz | can you tell me if it's always "app"? | Jul 06 21:44 |
| DaemonFC | 10% is the most you can save. And you may pay a LOT more than if you'd never signed up. | Jul 06 21:44 |
| DaemonFC | Put otherwise, "You might save up to $90, or you may pay up to $260 more per year if you put this device on your car, but either way you tell us all sorts of things about you.". | Jul 06 21:45 |
| schestowitz | do you get penalised for turning it off? | Jul 06 21:45 |
| schestowitz | how do they know you drive without it? | Jul 06 21:45 |
| DaemonFC | <schestowitz> can you tell me if it's always "app"? | Jul 06 21:46 |
| DaemonFC | With Root it's an app, with Progressive or Geico it's either an app or a device plugged into the vehicle diagnostic port that you send back to them when they're done. | Jul 06 21:46 |
| DaemonFC | They say it goes for a test period, which is certainly true if you don't have the device anymore, but with an app....who really knows? | Jul 06 21:46 |
| DaemonFC | <schestowitz> do you get penalised for turning it off? | Jul 06 21:47 |
| DaemonFC | With MetroMile, you pay by the mile, and you pay the maximum daily rate of 300 miles each day it's not plugged in. | Jul 06 21:47 |

| DaemonFC | And you have to leave it plugged in permanently with MetroMile, but they say if a mechanic or a smog testing site takes it out for a few hours, you're fine. | Jul 06 21:48 |
| DaemonFC | Just make sure to get it back and plug it in again. | Jul 06 21:48 |
| schestowitz | wow | Jul 06 21:48 |
| schestowitz | do you do this? | Jul 06 21:48 |
| schestowitz | it got a lot worse than when I last checked... | Jul 06 21:48 |
| DaemonFC | I've done MetroMile before with the Crown Victoria when I lived in Chicago and barely drove. | Jul 06 21:48 |
| schestowitz | it's like those proctoring malware things... | Jul 06 21:48 |
| DaemonFC | I mostly paid the base rate of like $15 a month at that time but 2.2 cents per mile (daily cap of 300 miles billed...they stop charging affter that). | Jul 06 21:48 |
| DaemonFC | So my bills worked out to like $20 a month or so. | Jul 06 21:49 |
| schestowitz | do you know some articles about this? | Jul 06 21:49 |
| schestowitz | esp. the legal aspects? | Jul 06 21:49 |
| DaemonFC | At the time, the other insurers wanted like $80+ for minimum coverage, so it was a substantial savings. | Jul 06 21:49 |
| schestowitz | and the ethical issues? | Jul 06 21:49 |
| schestowitz | I saw none | Jul 06 21:49 |
| DaemonFC | <schestowitz> how do they know you drive without it? | Jul 06 21:49 |
| schestowitz | (our last article was well received) | Jul 06 21:49 |
| DaemonFC | The OBD II port maintains power to the device. | Jul 06 21:50 |

| schestowitz | horrible | Jul 06 21:50 |
| DaemonFC | So it's plugged into your car and it's hooked up to the cell network. | Jul 06 21:50 |
| DaemonFC | It has an LTE modem in each unit. | Jul 06 21:51 |
| DaemonFC | If you cancel your policy they send you a device return kit, postage paid, and you get 30 days to get it back, or pay a $150 penalty. | Jul 06 21:51 |
| DaemonFC | <schestowitz> and the ethical issues? | Jul 06 21:52 |
| DaemonFC | Well, at the time I used it, their privacy policy said that they didn't sell your data to others, but privacy policies change all the time, and most include a clause that they either don't have to inform you and that by continuing to use it under a revision to the policy you agree to the new one. | Jul 06 21:53 |
| DaemonFC | Or they'll slip you a notification like Comcast did this month. | Jul 06 21:53 |
| DaemonFC | Hey, we're putting in a forced arbitration clause on all our customers, and if you use Comcast past July 3rd, you agree. | Jul 06 21:53 |
| DaemonFC | Unless you're constantly paying attention for subtle changes to privacy policies for everything you use, a lot of the time you'll miss important changes which are not good for you. Microsoft does this. | Jul 06 21:54 |
| schestowitz | Yes, thanks | Jul 06 21:55 |
| schestowitz | I will work with your notes | Jul 06 21:55 |
| DaemonFC | <schestowitz> esp. the legal aspects? | Jul 06 21:55 |
| schestowitz | it fascinates me media never covers this (that I know of) | Jul 06 21:55 |
| DaemonFC | Insurance laws vary by state, and so what these companies do is they find states that they can easily work in and only offer policies there, or tweak them a little for that state. | Jul 06 21:55 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Gary “Gnu” Koll | KDUZ | Jul 06 21:56 | |
| DaemonFC | In big rural states with bad public transit, there's no point to MetroMile even offering policies there. People in Texas drive all over the place. Gas is cheap. The state is huge. There's no bus. | Jul 06 21:56 |
| DaemonFC | Or if there is a bus, it's what you'd expect for a red state city. | Jul 06 21:56 |
| DaemonFC | MetroMile promotes itself as something that saves you money and nudges you to use the public transit. | Jul 06 21:57 |
| DaemonFC | Because if you get around Chicago with the public transit, you're paying them less in car insurance, it's less risk for both of you, and you're saving gas, but you keep the car for when you do need to drive it somewhere. | Jul 06 21:58 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, There's really no reason for me not to use the public transit to get to Chicago and back. I mean, freeway car accidents are horrific. It's extremely unpleasant to drive in a big city. | Jul 06 21:58 |
| techrights-news | #Audacity's user data collection causing consternation http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/153021#comment-30167 | Jul 06 21:59 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.tuxmachines.org | Audacity is now a Possible Spyware, Remove it ASAP | Tux Machines | Jul 06 21:59 | |
| DaemonFC | But Waukegan is far enough away from Chicago that it has a transit system, but it's not great. | Jul 06 21:59 |
| DaemonFC | So the commuter rail into the city and then the city's system to get where I'm going from there is the way to go with Chicago or if I need to go to one of its inner suburbs. | Jul 06 21:59 |
| DaemonFC | I can just get to the Metra station and then use it as a hub or go to one of the others and continue out from there. | Jul 06 22:00 |
| DaemonFC | It takes longer, but I mean, it's not pleasant to drive. I don't like to drive. | Jul 06 22:00 |
| DaemonFC | With the high gas prices, you probably shouldn't take the car out of town anyway. | Jul 06 22:00 |
| schestowitz | thanks for the info | Jul 06 22:00 |
| schestowitz | I'll start writing | Jul 06 22:00 |

| DaemonFC | One of my doctors is still doing Zoom and my other one is in Chicago at off a CTA brown line stop. | Jul 06 22:01 |
| DaemonFC | So I mean, for now I'm good. Just set up a video call or take the Metra down there for appointments. | Jul 06 22:01 |
| schestowitz | some shrinks also use 'online' stuff | Jul 06 22:01 |

| DaemonFC | Well, the whole point of ban the box, I think, is so that a job interviewer has to give you a chance to make a good impression before they see your conviction history. | Jul 06 22:15 |
| DaemonFC | And that law cannot possibly be obeyed by a computerized hiring process with no interviewer. | Jul 06 22:15 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz, They have trademarks, so you'd have to remove the malware and call it something else. | Jul 06 22:19 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz, There was an article about buying a used 2007 Chevy truck and yanking out a hard drive and finding out tons of info about the previous owner that wasn't wiped. | Jul 06 22:21 |

| DaemonFC | Zoom really has made it easy for the court system to run a rocket docket. | Jul 06 22:31 |
| DaemonFC | That's why I'm worried that now that they can run traffic court as a conviction mill they won't ever give it up. | Jul 06 22:31 |
