schestowitz | > Little to no Software Freedom news outside of TR. | Oct 06 07:40 |
schestowitz | Let's try to focus on the positive side of it. | Oct 06 07:41 |
schestowitz | Having said that, 3 days in a row now GNU/Linux news was VERY VERY slow. Even Rianne noticed. Since Thurs. | Oct 06 07:41 |
js2 | yes. | Oct 06 07:53 |
js2 | but lot of anti-stallman news and pro open source news too. | Oct 06 07:53 |
schestowitz | This new article by Alessandro Ebersol about Richard Stallman is worth reading (also mind the part about #billgates and pedophilia links) https://pclosmag.com/html/Issues/201910/page02.html | Oct 06 07:53 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-pclosmag.com | PCLinuxOS Magazine - Page 2 | Oct 06 07:53 | |
schestowitz | I know Ebersol | Oct 06 07:54 |
schestowitz | he has helped the site for over a decade | Oct 06 07:54 |
js2 | actually stallman was not defending minsky. he just defining the words used in the first post. we can interpret it as defending. but i think its not correct. | Oct 06 08:00 |
<--a1batross (f99f96a489@gateway/shell/jabberfr/x-rwkmfvobpikdnyny) has left #techrights | Oct 06 08:01 | |
schestowitz | mdia said he defended Epstein | Oct 06 08:01 |
schestowitz | even SJVN did that | Oct 06 08:01 |
js2 | yes. so bad. | Oct 06 08:02 |
schestowitz | that was my last straw for me | Oct 06 08:02 |
schestowitz | with him... | Oct 06 08:03 |
schestowitz | I was faaaarrr too patient | Oct 06 08:03 |
schestowitz | as he had supported us over the years | Oct 06 08:03 |
js2 | what FSF did was a crime | Oct 06 08:03 |
js2 | they should not accept the resignation letter. | Oct 06 08:03 |
js2 | end of the story. | Oct 06 08:04 |
js2 | but what they so horrible. | Oct 06 08:04 |
schestowitz | RMS wants us to support the FSF now | Oct 06 08:04 |
schestowitz | and that's what matters | Oct 06 08:04 |
js2 | no way. they are criminals | Oct 06 08:04 |
schestowitz | He sent me 3 emails asking me to do so | Oct 06 08:04 |
schestowitz | he said that talking them down had hurt his effort to mend things | Oct 06 08:05 |
schestowitz | js2: if you see the other IRC channels of ours, you'll encounter discussions about it | Oct 06 08:05 |
schestowitz | notably about Oliva (Alex, linux-libre) | Oct 06 08:05 |
js2 | i am actually new here | Oct 06 08:06 |
schestowitz | welcome | Oct 06 08:06 |
js2 | what are the channels? | Oct 06 08:06 |
js2 | ty | Oct 06 08:06 |
schestowitz | anyway, lots of discussion going on | Oct 06 08:06 |
schestowitz | now in the site's CMS | Oct 06 08:06 |
schestowitz | but IRC, email etc. | Oct 06 08:06 |
schestowitz | we know who stands with who | Oct 06 08:06 |
schestowitz | bkuhn is the main anti-RMS coup person | Oct 06 08:06 |
js2 | this is the IRC channel? | Oct 06 08:06 |
schestowitz | and gnome were always dodgy, they try to do this a decade ago | Oct 06 08:06 |
schestowitz | there are 3 more channels | Oct 06 08:07 |
schestowitz | see channel topic | Oct 06 08:07 |
schestowitz | or read irc logs | Oct 06 08:07 |
js2 | its so bad these people became like this. | Oct 06 08:07 |
schestowitz | we publish them daily now http://techrights.org/2019/10/02/techrights-transparency/ | Oct 06 08:07 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Increasing Transparency (Operational and Technical) at Techrights | Techrights | Oct 06 08:07 | |
schestowitz | maybe bkuhn fancies himself "king "open source"" | Oct 06 08:07 |
schestowitz | he was always rude | Oct 06 08:07 |
js2 | i am using your rss feeds | Oct 06 08:08 |
schestowitz | even more than a decade ago he reeked ego | Oct 06 08:08 |
schestowitz | and I even said it out loud at one point | Oct 06 08:08 |
schestowitz | the rss feeds have the irc logs | Oct 06 08:08 |
js2 | ok | Oct 06 08:08 |
schestowitz | but the latest ones are hoursold | Oct 06 08:08 |
schestowitz | so it'll be in 06102019 logs | Oct 06 08:08 |

schestowitz | figosdev is working on it | Oct 06 08:10 |
js2 | i joined one group called fsforce | Oct 06 08:10 |
js2 | but not much discussion happening here | Oct 06 08:11 |
schestowitz | I know "FOSS" Force | Oct 06 08:12 |
schestowitz | but their site too is more or less defunct | Oct 06 08:12 |
schestowitz | not sure about FSForce | Oct 06 08:12 |
schestowitz | some people decided that having a "twitter" account for "tweets" is as good as an actual site with actual articles (yes, articles), so they abandoned their sites and choose "tweets" and "RTs" over actual journalism | Oct 06 08:13 |

schestowitz | ah | Oct 06 14:03 |
schestowitz | I see what you mean | Oct 06 14:03 |
schestowitz | IBM no longer cares about the desktop anyway | Oct 06 14:03 |
psydroid | the thing is that 1) it never worked well for me when it mattered 2) I am not going to run a short-lived operating system on my production hardware, effectively relegating it to a VM that I may occasionally check things on before abandoning it again | Oct 06 14:09 |
psydroid | they will probably extend this to CentOS and RHEL, which I may have a higher chance to use over time | Oct 06 14:09 |
psydroid | but even then, who is actually going to run those an end-user or developer desktop? | Oct 06 14:10 |
psydroid | so yes, IBM no longer cares about it and it shows | Oct 06 14:10 |
schestowitz | They sold thinkpads to Lenovo | Oct 06 14:11 |
oiaohm | psydroid: maybe you have the wrong point. IBM might care about the desktop just not the x86 one. | Oct 06 14:13 |
oiaohm | psydroid: IBM is still trying to make the power chips be successful remember that. | Oct 06 14:13 |
psydroid | oiaohm, I know, I have a Powermac G5 running Debian ppc64 as well as QEMU running Debian ppc64le | Oct 06 14:14 |

oiaohm | insmodppa: code of conduct is not nonsense. I wish it was. All that is written in code of conduct is is stuff you are required todo by USA and other countries laws as part of general employment as a employer to provide a legal work environment. | Oct 06 15:41 |
oiaohm | Just for a long time on the internet the legal requirements were not enforced. These are not new laws they are very old ones. | Oct 06 15:42 |
oiaohm | Maybe some of those legal requirements go too far but that is a case we need to change laws. | Oct 06 15:44 |

MinceR | CoC is toxic nonsense and it's killing technology | Oct 06 16:05 |
MinceR | of course oiaohm loves it because he wants to see tech dead | Oct 06 16:05 |
oiaohm | MinceR: really. | Oct 06 16:08 |
oiaohm | MinceR: personal attack because that all you have right not facts. | Oct 06 16:09 |
oiaohm | CoC like it or not has a legal base. | Oct 06 16:09 |
schestowitz | some laws are unethical | Oct 06 16:10 |
schestowitz | (heck, some are literally BOUGHT and PAID FOR) | Oct 06 16:10 |
MinceR | and laws are holy to oiaohm | Oct 06 16:10 |
MinceR | unquestionable | Oct 06 16:10 |
schestowitz | it's bad reasoning | Oct 06 16:10 |
schestowitz | there's a law, so... | Oct 06 16:10 |
MinceR | interestingly, some people are too good to have the holy laws apply to them | Oct 06 16:10 |
schestowitz | hence, CoC good | Oct 06 16:10 |
MinceR | governments, rich people, megacorporations | Oct 06 16:10 |
schestowitz | hey, oiaohm, let's taslk about sharia | Oct 06 16:10 |
MinceR | :> | Oct 06 16:11 |
schestowitz | can I murder my neighbour | Oct 06 16:11 |
oiaohm | MinceR: No I do not talk about not questioning laws. | Oct 06 16:11 |
schestowitz | there's a law allowing it, s/he not Muslim | Oct 06 16:11 |
MinceR | yeah, that part is implicit | Oct 06 16:11 |
oiaohm | Its being aware what is law. | Oct 06 16:11 |
MinceR | the explicit part is "it follows from a law, therefore it's good" | Oct 06 16:11 |
oiaohm | and what requires to get rid of it law changes. | Oct 06 16:11 |
schestowitz | oiaohm: your attitude only gives angst to FS activists | Oct 06 16:11 |
MinceR | that's one way | Oct 06 16:11 |
MinceR | but the way humans chose does not involve changing the law | Oct 06 16:11 |
MinceR | it involves exterminating all humans | Oct 06 16:11 |
MinceR | and thus there won't be anyone left to uphold or even care about laws anymore | Oct 06 16:12 |
MinceR | it's better for the rest of the universe | Oct 06 16:12 |
oiaohm | The thing is everything that is the CoC could be enforced without a project having a CoC anyhow by the existing laws. | Oct 06 16:12 |
oiaohm | But with far worse outcomes. | Oct 06 16:13 |
MinceR | a project does not have to play bitch to jurists | Oct 06 16:13 |
MinceR | and people can leave the shitholes that make it illegal to develop useful software in their jurisdictions | Oct 06 16:13 |
MinceR | and see if suits can even survive without engineers making and maintaining technology for them. | Oct 06 16:14 |
oiaohm | MinceR: to go where. | Oct 06 16:14 |
MinceR | also, if your project adopts a CoC then the toxicity remains even if the law is fixed | Oct 06 16:14 |
oiaohm | Depends on how the law is fixed. | Oct 06 16:15 |
MinceR | not sure, probably where all the sensible people will flee from the neofascists and other assorted authoritarian useless people | Oct 06 16:15 |
oiaohm | Because it is possible if the law is fixed in a particular ways that the exist CoC themselves could come illegal. | Oct 06 16:15 |
MinceR | it's insane to propagate bad laws in other legal codes so they can apply where and when they normally wouldn't | Oct 06 16:15 |
MinceR | yeah, i wouldn't hold my breath for that | Oct 06 16:15 |
MinceR | for starters, people can emigrate from the usa and from australia | Oct 06 16:16 |
oiaohm | Its happened many times that old workplace health and safety documents that CoC techically falls into that the old versions come illegal. | Oct 06 16:16 |
oiaohm | MinceR: to where. | Oct 06 16:17 |
oiaohm | MinceR: you have said leave but what country. | Oct 06 16:17 |
MinceR | almost anywhere else? | Oct 06 16:17 |
oiaohm | MinceR: no you have not done your homework. | Oct 06 16:17 |
oiaohm | The base the laws that the CoC mirrors is in every country either UK or france setup. | Oct 06 16:18 |
oiaohm | That really does not leave very many countries exit to. | Oct 06 16:18 |
oiaohm | So you want to go to like like China? | Oct 06 16:19 |
oiaohm | MinceR: this is the problem this stuff is old laws that has 300 years to get almost everywhere. | Oct 06 16:19 |
oiaohm | So any decent development/under developed country you could run to you would be running straight to these laws. So its fairly much to the point if people don't like the laws they need to stand and push for the laws to be changed. | Oct 06 16:22 |

oiaohm | MinceR: think about these laws have been sitting on the law books not enforced in major ways for 300+ years and people went these are not a problem. Real trouble does come from the laws being left in the law books when the populatin does not agree with them absolutely. | Oct 06 16:24 |

*XRevan86 didn't know that exists. | Oct 06 21:28 | |
scientes | BTU is thee same as a calorie | Oct 06 21:28 |
scientes | like Farenheit, its main claim to fame is being largely first | Oct 06 21:29 |
MinceR | so far i've only encountered BTUs with relation to air conditioners | Oct 06 21:29 |
XRevan86 | Inches also have a place in Russia | Oct 06 21:29 |
XRevan86 | screen sizes | Oct 06 21:29 |
MinceR | same here | Oct 06 21:29 |
MinceR | funny thing, they used cm for TVs but then computer displays took over | Oct 06 21:29 |

MinceR | horsepower is pretty screwy too | Oct 06 21:31 |
scientes | XRevan86, oh its very close that's why the confusion | Oct 06 21:31 |
scientes | one BTU is about 1055 joules. | Oct 06 21:31 |
XRevan86 | A calorie is to heat 1 gramme of water 1°C | Oct 06 21:32 |
XRevan86 | A BTU is to heat 1 pound of water 1°F | Oct 06 21:32 |
scientes | which is pretty horrible | Oct 06 21:32 |
scientes | cause those are two horrible units | Oct 06 21:32 |
scientes | mating to produce a third :) | Oct 06 21:32 |
MinceR | the wikipedia page lists several variants for BTU | Oct 06 21:32 |
XRevan86 | MinceR: One for each kind of a pound? (: | Oct 06 21:33 |
scientes | also the Whr | Oct 06 21:33 |
MinceR | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | Oct 06 21:33 |
scientes | WHr | Oct 06 21:33 |
XRevan86 | MinceR: I can only guess the success with screen sizes is due to them being adjusted to make pretty numbers with inches | Oct 06 21:34 |
MinceR | indeed | Oct 06 21:35 |
MinceR | well, except when they aren't | Oct 06 21:35 |
MinceR | like 15.6" | Oct 06 21:35 |
MinceR | (or whatever) | Oct 06 21:35 |
XRevan86 | MinceR: Too late to change %) | Oct 06 21:35 |
scientes | or 11.6" | Oct 06 21:35 |
XRevan86 | bait&switch, eh | Oct 06 21:35 |
scientes | yeah I imagine it would be kinda confusing when your rulers don't have inches on them | Oct 06 21:36 |
scientes | but its already diagonal so kinda useless | Oct 06 21:36 |
scientes | nits is a far more useful number | Oct 06 21:36 |
scientes | resolution + nits | Oct 06 21:36 |
scientes | "The 1878 Act said that contracts worded in terms of metric units would be deemed by the courts to be made according to the Imperial units defined in the Act, and a table of metric equivalents was supplied so that the Imperial equivalents could be legally calculated." | Oct 06 21:37 |
scientes | heh | Oct 06 21:37 |
XRevan86 | It makes perfect sense to define imperial units in SI units, even when one doesn't like SI units. | Oct 06 21:39 |
XRevan86 | because SI units actually have a lot of metrological effort behind them | Oct 06 21:39 |
scientes | yeah but this did the opposite | Oct 06 21:39 |
XRevan86 | scientes: Oh, the quote is very confusing. | Oct 06 21:39 |
scientes | but that was quite a while ago | Oct 06 21:40 |
XRevan86 | "so that the Imperial equivalents could be legally calculated" | Oct 06 21:40 |
scientes | before it became clear the metric was going to win | Oct 06 21:40 |
XRevan86 | because it wasn't obvious (: | Oct 06 21:41 |
scientes | well, actually the imperial system is so horrible | Oct 06 21:41 |
scientes | it should have been obvious from the beginning | Oct 06 21:41 |
XRevan86 | the system that's a pain to use in calculations had a chance to win, right | Oct 06 21:41 |

scientes | XRevan86, oh yeah, you can buy baker measuring sets | Oct 06 21:46 |

MinceR | "The Truth" in that if we find out you disagree, you're going to the gulag | Oct 06 23:39 |
scientes | ^^^^ | Oct 06 23:39 |
XRevan86 | Anyway, it was the main paper of the RSDLP(b) | Oct 06 23:39 |
scientes | that's stalinism for you | Oct 06 23:39 |
XRevan86 | since 1912 it seems | Oct 06 23:39 |
scientes | this is the Truth, and you will accept is as so | Oct 06 23:40 |
XRevan86 | if you disagree you're a tsarist bigot | Oct 06 23:41 |
MinceR | i thought they preferred to call everyone who disagreed with them a nazi? | Oct 06 23:41 |
XRevan86 | clinging to the old worker-hating ways | Oct 06 23:41 |
scientes | they couldn't possibly keep that up the whole time thought, right? | Oct 06 23:41 |
MinceR | (because they were So Different) | Oct 06 23:41 |
*scientes read GULAG Archipelago | Oct 06 23:42 | |
scientes | it was great | Oct 06 23:42 |
XRevan86 | that was the notion in the earlier days | Oct 06 23:42 |

XRevan86 | Since the revolutions polarised the society, there was a big intolerance to wrong opinions. | Oct 06 23:44 |
XRevan86 | clinging to the old ways | Oct 06 23:44 |
MinceR | i guess the 'tsarist' speak was before ww2 | Oct 06 23:44 |
XRevan86 | MinceR: way before | Oct 06 23:44 |
XRevan86 | I'm talking 20s | Oct 06 23:44 |
XRevan86 | Stalin didn't just magically appear | Oct 06 23:45 |
XRevan86 | and become as extreme as he was | Oct 06 23:45 |
XRevan86 | saying that someone's an enemy of the state *worked* | Oct 06 23:46 |
XRevan86 | Back to the name Pravda, pretentious as it is, it was more of a Tradition thing. | Oct 06 23:47 |
XRevan86 | "Soviets" also makes more sense in a pre-revolution context. | Oct 06 23:48 |
MinceR | were people councils back then? :> | Oct 06 23:49 |
XRevan86 | MinceR: Think of them as Parliaments | Oct 06 23:50 |
MinceR | in that case, i will vote by myself, unanimously | Oct 06 23:51 |
XRevan86 | MinceR: The "Soviet" part as I understand it is supposed to show the "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" as a working class ruling body the Soviets won over the bourgeoisie Provisional Government | Oct 06 23:55 |
<--Firee has quit (Quit: lolmoi) | Oct 06 23:55 | |
XRevan86 | But later in the Stalin's model of the USSR the democratic power of the Soviets is sketchy at best. | Oct 06 23:56 |
MinceR | sketchy as in existing only on a sketch? :> | Oct 06 23:57 |
XRevan86 | So I doubt they were the focus of the naming. After all, they really weren't the focus, the Party was. | Oct 06 23:57 |
XRevan86 | (which actually was renamed after the revolution, albeit decades later) | Oct 06 23:58 |
MinceR | they renamed their party a few times in hungary | Oct 06 23:58 |
MinceR | i guess this is where microsoft got their inspiration for | Oct 06 23:58 |
MinceR | s/for/from/ | Oct 06 23:58 |
XRevan86 | Well, this renaming was to the point. | Oct 06 23:58 |
XRevan86 | I guess for simplicity | Oct 06 23:58 |
XRevan86 | So that instead of copypasting "RSDLP(b)" I could write "CPSU" %) | Oct 06 23:59 |
