XRevan86

Pieskov's interview to Sky News is the most bizarre thing.

schestowitz-TR

Sky Noise

XRevan86

In the years when I've listened to Pieskov's statements, he never commented on anything in such a way that actually gives any new information.

*hoy is now known as ahoy

bnchs

it is indutably that this digital appartus uses Artifical Intelligence

MinceR

listening to peskov is bizarre

XRevan86

But this time something happened, and he actually… said things!?

MinceR

it's like looking for something insightful in strings /dev/urandom

MinceR

except less likely to work

XRevan86

Like he acknowledged that the heavy losses of life were tragic.

MinceR

strange

MinceR

they didn't seem to mind when they caused them

techrights-news

"Market capitalism has one job: to distribute resources and tasks. To do that, it sets prices. It is completely clueless when it comes to values (how much good something can do) and costs (how much pain something caused to create). It instead uses “prices” to approximate both of those things, and uses markets to set prices." gemini://idiomdrottning.org/price

MinceR

maybe putler & co are so incompetent they can't determine the likely consequences of starting a war?

Apr 08 00:03

XRevan86

MinceR: This is the first time when any Russian official said anything about the casualties yet.

Apr 08 00:03

XRevan86

MinceR: "maybe" <- absolutely

Apr 08 00:04

ahoy

fo you like to dress casual?

bnchs

audacity SEGV'd again

ahoy

casualties if there was an euphemism

matey

hmm

matey

i see an imposter

schestowitz-TR

schestowitz-TR

casually

kingoffrance

"ive been trying for 10 minutes" how about monkey playing cymbals, does that work?

matey

understandably, but incorrectly

matey

but this person, i dont know

schestowitz-TR

chicksahoy was ender

matey

yes i got that part

matey

but this person claims to not know who ender is

matey

which means we have a THIRD ahoy

schestowitz-TR

ender was a guest in the first ever techbyets episode

ahoy

ender is the movie

matey

more of an ahoy convoy

MinceR

immibis

speaking of market capitalism

bnchs

ahoy: lol IP address

immibis

isn't it weird how the free market is this magical tool that can allocate resources effectively in any circumstance

bnchs

nice for mibbit to leak IP address in real name

immibis

but yet we absolutely must not change the circumstance in which it operates in any way that is detrimental to anyone rich, because the whole thing would collapse?

bnchs

immibis, i wanted to say i'm sorry if whatever i said made me look like a nazi

matey

/me doesnt think people need to apologise for not being a nazi

ahoy

your /me isnt working

matey

it never does

*mib_0bkm16 has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)

bnchs

i don't want people to think i am

matey

i dont think any reasonable person thinks you are

saying that we shouldn't punish nazis puts you in "useful idiot" territory

did that work at all?

what was it supposed to do?

immibis

manually send a /me

i dont think i can shell into this

immibis

did you see "* immibis does a thing" or did you see "<immibis> [?]ACTION does a thing[?]"

oh you mean copy and paste

bnchs

look, i said what i said

bnchs

i don't care anymore

matey

bnchs: you shouldnt worry about this

aww man

immibis

nuremberg is now one excuse that nazis are using to excuse murdering people who oppose nazis, btw

*u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@v6xmmrhxmbafc.irc) has joined #techrights

immibis

calling it "nuremberg 2.0" where nazis will set up a kangaroo court to find all the anti-nazis guilty

matey

nazis always find dumb excuses to kill people

matey

i mean that was the whole point-- finding dumb excuses to kill people

activelow

the court had to judge war crimes, not nazis

matey

if you cant find really stupid reasons to kill lots of people, youre kind of shit at being a nazi tbh

activelow

not all nazis were war criminals, and not all war criminals are nazis

Apr 08 00:24

ahoy

if theres no war no nazis can be war criminals

Apr 08 00:25

ahoy

no mater what they do

Apr 08 00:25

matey

maybe they can be special military operations criminals

Apr 08 00:25

immibis

what's shameful is that so many people just take the nazi wordplay bullshit as given

Apr 08 00:26

immibis

nazis: "Oh we are just going to see if anyone did anything wrong and punish them if so." most people: "oh okay, carry on then"

Apr 08 00:26

matey

well its not like nazis 1.0 were any better

Apr 08 00:26

matey

"oh okay, carry on then" <- basically what they said to the original version as well

Apr 08 00:27

matey

people in general are pretty blase about war crimes

Apr 08 00:27

matey

i dont get it

Apr 08 00:27

matey

its like they think war criminals are election material

matey

as evidenced by the fact that not only to they elect them in office-- which we could complain about

matey

they actually go to the polls and deliberately vote for these people.

matey

how many civilians did this arsehole kill for a construction company?

matey

oh i dont know, but i dont want the other guy to get in!

Apr 08 00:29

matey

MooooOOOooooOOoooo

Apr 08 00:29

matey

we wouldnt be any worse off if we let livestock vote

Apr 08 00:30

matey

they might be better at it

Apr 08 00:30

ahoy

livestock isnt that what the nazis called the jews?

*chunky has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

ahoy

for me livestock is the likes of elon musk

bnchs

lol

immibis

matey: people are blase about the rise of nazis until they seize power and genocide the minorities du jour. And then they remain pretty blase

bnchs

clownflare should kill themselves

dude

they finally dead?

matey

immibis: yes

dude

matey

but theyre blase about all the other war criminals as well

matey

unless theyre told not to be

immibis

maybe russmany invading ukroland is the start of people being less blase in general, but probably not

matey

usually by other war criminals

ahoy

livestock is the likes of elon musk

matey

but probably not <- but probably not

ahoy

cause they hold lots of stoks

kingoffrance

ive seen media say how great it is their is social media to document things.......so im leaning towards humanity is doomed

kingoffrance

*there

matey

immibis: if enough people abandon capitalism they will figure out who the war criminals are

matey

seems odd that not understand war crimes would be a "side effect" of accepting capitalism

kingoffrance

war crimes and free nuggets for a year, i get my news from social media

matey

but once you reject capitalism it becomes clearer why there are so many fucking war crimes

matey

kingoffrance: REALLY? free nuggest?

Apr 08 00:35

matey

/me saw the thing about free nuggets somewhere

Apr 08 00:35

matey

what comic was that

Apr 08 00:35

ahoy

free nuggets of wisedom

Apr 08 00:36

immibis

i doubt it's because of capitalism

Apr 08 00:36

matey

and yet

Apr 08 00:36

ahoy

there's a prediction of recession for the us

Apr 08 00:37

ahoy

maybe they stop being capitalists then

Apr 08 00:38

ahoy

its hard being capitalist if you got no capital

activelow

my grandparents suffered from those during WW2: bombed by the "allies" when hiding inside basement, hunger, mass unemployment

activelow

the impact on the psyche is noticable, 70years later, still

MinceR

according to one definition, that's literally the only way to not be a capitalist :>

matey

that's literally the only way <- lol, what is?

activelow

and remembering some of my relatives who died already, they cannot defend themselves against accusations of "nazi"

MinceR

not owning capital

*chunky (~chunky@wa5c3nj9mkua2.irc) has joined #techrights

activelow

by coincidence, i remembered an Uncle of mine, who died some years ago, who had given me books, priceless book

activelow

my grandfather died 10 years ago, who was _forced_ to serve in hitler youth, at the age of 15years, and had to risk his live at flak air defense against "allied" bombing

Apr 08 00:42

activelow

my other grandfather is dead too already, who was hunting soviet tanks with rocket launchers as a teenager, and his mother died when he was 14 years old

Apr 08 00:43

Apr 08 00:43

when i am reading the rubbish and crap in this channel <- if only you were more specific

Apr 08 00:43

schestowitz-TR

the "Allies" invaded Germany?

schestowitz-TR

that's not how I remember the world wars

activelow

it isn't "Nazi" what i remember, and who the war criminals were

activelow

who the victims were, and what had to be remembered about them

schestowitz-TR

Poland was invaded by the victims

schestowitz-TR

France offered asylum to Germans?

activelow

poland collaborated

schestowitz-TR

with who?

matey

"invaded" is a politically neutral (technical) term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Allied_invasion_of_Germany

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Western Allied invasion of Germany - Wikipedia

schestowitz-TR

poland was invaded

schestowitz-TR

from both sides

activelow

schestowitz-TR: _bolshevists_

schestowitz-TR

matey

nah, stalin killed the bolshevists

schestowitz-TR

poland was "split" between hitler and stalin

schestowitz-TR

stalin and hitler initially collaborated

*XRevan86 reads what's written here.

schestowitz-TR

you seem to consider the term "invasion" as accusatory, or for it to refer to only whoever "started" it

matey

"you started it!" "no we didnt!" "yes you did, you invaded poland!"-- fawlty towers, "the germans"

schestowitz-TR

japan was invading many countries also

schestowitz-TR

ended up nuked, twice

XRevan86

activelow: I don't really follow your point.

matey

yes, lots of invasions in a "world war"

schestowitz-TR

history has more sympathy to the countries invaded far, far from japan

XRevan86

activelow: But as a contemporary Nazi nation member, I can sympathise I guess.

That's a good engine. One of the top ten engines of the 20th century according to Consumer Reports. The Series 3 has improved gaskets and stronger connecting rods.

DaemonFC

So they took a damned good engine and made it better, and then got rid of it because of CAFE.

DaemonFC

It went on from 1962 to 2008.

"when was the last time the leader of a nation was on the front lines" that was supposedly alexander the great lol

Well, the Buick only has 55,000 miles on it.

DaemonFC

matey, Well, my mechanic said he wasn't just going to throw an alternator at it and call it a day because the problem would be back and I'd be pissed and he's never seen an alternator start failing the way I'm describing it.

MinceR

it also had a USB port and an SD card slot so there was really no point :>

matey

and you trust your mechanic isnt shitting you of course

matey

because its you, i dont even know why im asking

DaemonFC

He says it is most certainly a wire somewhere that's broken loose and is getting splashed sometimes and shorting out.

DaemonFC

I'm sure that he would be perfectly happy to keep sitting there and taking my money every few months for all of these repairs.

Apr 08 01:12

DaemonFC

I told him I'm just getting annoyed and tired of looking at it.

DaemonFC

I turned down a 2009 Honda Civic he suggested a few months back.

matey

i cant see you in a honda civic

DaemonFC

It just had too many miles on it. I'd rather have a 55,000 mile Buick than a 170.000 mile Honda Civic.

DaemonFC

Yeah, you know. It's a Honda but it's also their cheap little commuter model.

Apr 08 01:14

matey

youre just too far from the sorts of douchebags ive known with honda civics

Apr 08 01:14

DaemonFC

They're not going to pour their heart and soul into it. It'll have cheap rubber shit where a Buick has metal.

Apr 08 01:14

DaemonFC

I don't like the idea of going from a V6 to an Inline 4 on principle.

Apr 08 01:15

matey

wow, i didnt know they made inline 4s

Apr 08 01:15

DaemonFC

Instead of a timing chain that is virtually trouble free for half a million miles or so (assuming you change your oil), you get a cheap rubber belt that you have to replace every 100,000 miles or so.

matey

/me isnt a car person, but has seriously never heard of inline less than 5

DaemonFC

It's another rubber piece of shit that can strand you somewhere.

DaemonFC

Which is exactly what you want more of. /s

DaemonFC

<matey> wow, i didnt know they made inline 4s

DaemonFC

Yes, they have for a very long time.

matey

weird

DaemonFC

The ones from the 80s and 90s had a nasty reputation.

DaemonFC

They were shitty and underpowered and you'd only put them in a horrible car.

DaemonFC

About the most you'd likely get out of one is maybe 100 horsepower.

Apr 08 01:18

DaemonFC

But usually 80-90.

Apr 08 01:18

DaemonFC

The Buick 3800 V6 gets 200. Which is about the same as the 4.6 Modular V8 from Ford up until they revised it in the police model in the later fleet years.

Apr 08 01:19

DaemonFC

You can certainly get 350 horsepower out of a V6 today, and you will find plenty like that, but you have to do some nasty stuff to them to get that out of them, and then you're looking at more engine work over the life of the car.

Apr 08 01:19

Yes, the 2011 4.6 produced 250 horsepower.

DaemonFC

To do that, they used a different tuning program in the PCM, so it was a software change mostly.

DaemonFC

It caused the fuel economy to go down again.

DaemonFC

Instead of 18-23 (City/Highway) you get about 16-21 in the cop model.

matey

but more horsepower?

DaemonFC

YES!

matey

sounds like its probably worth it

DaemonFC

The civilian model wasn't that bad. In 1992, they introduced it at 190, so don't buy that. In 1996, it got bumped to 200 (but with defective DuPont intakes so don't buy it until 2000).

Apr 08 01:24

DaemonFC

Then in 2000, it got bumped again without the defective intakes and 5 more horsepower, to 205.

Apr 08 01:24

DaemonFC

Ford had a recall to replace the intakes, but it's expired and there's a lot of 1996-2000s out there with the defective intakes even though the replacements would have been free.

Apr 08 01:25

DaemonFC

If you can get a 2001-2011, and for a good price, especially without rust on the body, go for it.

Apr 08 01:26

DaemonFC

Although if it's on the older end of that, you'll want to replace all of the brake lines and the fluid first thing you do.

Apr 08 01:26

DaemonFC

They're notorious for brake line decay, but that's a Ford problem in general.

DaemonFC

With GM, some of the 3100s were alright as long as they never got DexCool in them or it was completely flushed and replaced for green coolant right away.

Apr 08 01:27

DaemonFC

Same for the 3800 V6 from I think 2000 through 2006.

DaemonFC

The 2007 and 2008 should come from the factory with improved gaskets that can tolerate it.

DaemonFC

If you're going with a 3800 V6, get a 1999 or older or the 2007 or 2008.

matey

id look like a cross between a sumo wrestler and the flying nun, but i dont really care about that

DaemonFC

Or you'll have the DeathCool problem.

DaemonFC

I don't like driving small cars.

Apr 08 01:29

DaemonFC

Soon, all you'll be able to buy are small cars, with bad engines, and a lot of malicious software. Made out of the shittiest junk they could find laying around. Designed to fail after the last payment to the finance company.

Apr 08 01:30

DaemonFC

We're close now.

Apr 08 01:30

DaemonFC

They don't want those big steel American tanks anymore. They don't want you bouncing around in the same car you bought 30 years ago.

They're primitive. As long as you can find (and occasionally clean) a part, and keep it from rusting, it will continue to work.

DaemonFC

That's just how they built things back then.

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR, I spend basically no money on clothes or entertainment and do my own haircuts.

DaemonFC

So I have enough to pay for the car in cash and not worry about it.

DaemonFC

I was explaining to Mandy the real way you get fucked on a car deal is if you finance it, especially with bad credit.

DaemonFC

Then the bank takes nearly as much for itself as the car cost to begin with.

DaemonFC

Or from a dealer, which adds $1,000 to the private party price because fuck you, and then charges you $500 again to document that they sold you the car (printing off a page).

Apr 08 01:34

DaemonFC

You put them both together, you double what you would have spent if you went to some dude with cash.

Apr 08 01:35

DaemonFC

The dealers get cars at auction, they don't know anything about them.

Apr 08 01:35

DaemonFC

The auction houses sell them dirt cheap because they're usually bankruptcy repos and cities that bought a bunch of Impalas and Crown Vics for the cops and spent years chasing people and driving them over curbs.

Apr 08 01:36

DaemonFC

Then, right, the dealer gets the thing for $1,500 maybe, and then says "That's a $7,900 car. Would you like to finance it with us?".

"I’ve had serious misgivings about data compression ever since Microsoft stole STACKER and called it DoubleSpace in the days of MS-DOS. Even after they were sued, lost, paid money, removed it, allegedly rewrote it (without the BUST bug), and called it DriveSpace (now with Scandisk-checking support), it was super sketchy. Instead of doing the obvious thing and just reporting the compressed file size, Microsoft chose to take the space you ha

DaemonFC

d on the disk, double the figure exactly, and report that as the drive’s volume size.

DaemonFC

Then if that wasn’t bad enough, if a single byte of the compressed volume became corrupt, you could well lose the entire drive’s contents, including DOS and Windows, and to make things even worse, they went on to load an incredibly bloated driver (well over 120 KB) into the first 640 KB of RAM (causing the user to be unable to load many programs, and then they went on to mount the compressed volume as C, while putting the real C on

DaemonFC

H, showing a drive completely filled by one file. Then some users would just delete the file, which succeeded, and would wipe their entire hard drive.

DaemonFC

Of course, that’s Microsoft for you, and that was then and this is now. I haven’t had any trouble with BtrFS Compress, and with the improvements done on the file system code in BtrFS lately, more and more people are finding it highly reliable in general."

DaemonFC

-me, from a blog post draft I've been working on.

matey

i thought it was lag

matey

im glad its not, thats means we arent both doing it

matey

ah doublespace

matey

id have to use half my drive before i considered doubling the size.

Apr 08 02:48

DaemonFC

Added, "This led to running out of hard disk space while it said you had plenty left (common), or having plenty of space, but being told there wasn't any more because the compression ratio of your files was a little better than it predicted (although this was rare)."

matey

i do this crazy thing when i want more space-- its completely nuts

matey

i find the largest files, pick some i dont need, and delete them

aww i thought you were an mvp

DaemonFC

A few years in the 1990s, and I had to use another alias for my DELETE Internet Explorer stuff on Geocities.

matey

they never paid you?

DaemonFC

Yes, that's the MVP program. They don't pay anything. You just get free Microsoft things now and then.

matey

wow

DaemonFC

It was like AOL using volunteers to write parts of their site in RAINMAN.

matey

heh

matey

what is the um, what was the gist of what they had you do?

DaemonFC

AOL paid them in free AOL hours.

Apr 08 02:53

matey

aol hours. oof

Apr 08 02:53

DaemonFC

Essentially, the program is that if you're generally knowledgeable and helpful in the Microsoft community, they pin an MVP badge on you. Or at least that's how it worked then.

Apr 08 02:53

DaemonFC

That's their way of saying unpaid technical support.

matey

i honestly pictured you doing something more sinister

matey

which you regretted, so

matey

but you know, i mean i pictured something more

DaemonFC

No, it's pretty informal.

matey

well there goes my image of ryan the suit and tie softie

DaemonFC

AOL actually lost a lawsuit and had to pay their "Community Leaders" minimum wage in the end.

DaemonFC

With backpay.

matey

nice

DaemonFC

Because the court ruled that the type of work was subject to the wage and hour laws.

matey

but they make exceptions for free software volunteers

and hes near the top of the letter, i believe.

DaemonFC

But "Linux" has been trending that way for years, you know. I think the last figure I saw was with the kernel itself, like 16% were not corporate-sponsored to contribute. That's by lines of code.

matey

But "Linux" has been trending that way for years, you kno <- i completely agree. linux is a joke.

DaemonFC

In the 90s, there were some years where 80-90% of the Linux kernel contributions were actual community stuff.

matey

it doesnt bother me if corporations "contribute"

matey

only when they start to control it

matey

and if we let them contribute enough... they WILL start to take control

DaemonFC

The kernel has certainly gotten bigger just from the amount of junk they stuff in it.

matey

if we want to limit their control, we have to limit their contributions.

DaemonFC

Most of which doesn't even apply to you.

matey

and the fsf isnt prepared to do that.

matey

Most of which doesn't even apply to you. <- oh it does though

DaemonFC

/boot on Fedora 15 years ago was like a 150 MB partition?

matey

it applies to me when i have to get newer hardware to run this shit.

DaemonFC

Then 10 years ago it was 250.

DaemonFC

Then a few years later it was 500.

DaemonFC

Now it's a GB.

matey

theyre windowsifying it.

DaemonFC

And the number of old kernels it keeps around hasn't changed.

matey

if we want to limit their control, we have to limit their contributions, and the fsf cant.

DaemonFC

Well, the problem is that most users don't really want to fuck with partition size once they have an installation.

matey

so the fsf is failing at its only real job.

matey

and they dont seem to give a shit about this.

matey

most users don't really want to fuck with partition size once they have an installation. <- i repartition on every install.

matey

its not a big deal.

DaemonFC

So if the kernel gets MUCH bigger a few years after you installed the OS originally, you may need to remove all old kernels and lower the number of old kernels before you can successfully upgrade your distribution again.

DaemonFC

And that may only buy you another year or two.

So it could be Harvey car. Who knows?

matey

they could get her to take a shittier one if they threw in a pair of airpods

DaemonFC

You know, they get hurricane damage so they send them up here and auction them off with engines flooded out and electrical damage.

DaemonFC

They unload them on a mark, like her.

matey

that would explain the wiring

DaemonFC

Get her to finance a $3,000 car warranty from some company that doesn't answer the phone.

DaemonFC

Oh, she bought the 2003 new.

DaemonFC

Well, kind of new.

DaemonFC

THey gave her a $3,000 rebate because it was used for a driver's ed program in 2003.

DaemonFC

On top of the GM family discount.

DaemonFC

I could get the GM family discount on any new GM vehicle as long as grandma is alive.

DaemonFC

But $1,500 off a $68,000 car really isn't that much.

matey

DaemonFC

It used to be $1,500 discount off of a decent car when a decent car was like $25,000.

DaemonFC

So they nearly tripled the price of the car and the discount is the same, so it barely registers now.

you "downloaded" it by recording the audio then playing it back over the cassette deck

Apr 08 03:28

matey

now that its on youtube, you can still decode the audio into the program

Apr 08 03:29

matey

you should be able to convert it with ffmpeg to audio, then use audacity to convert it from compressed audio to raw sound data

Apr 08 03:31

matey

then a program can decode it from there

Apr 08 03:31

matey

or if you have a program that converts data cassette audio to files, you could use that

Apr 08 03:31

or you could probably find a copy of the program, but that takes some of the magic out of it

The car doesn't cost much more than that.

schestowitz-TR, I joked earlier that the money depreciates faster than the cars you can buy with it now.

schestowitz-TR

schestowitz-TR

cars lose value fast and you will need repair

DaemonFC

Even if I just bought this car and drove it around for a while, there's a good chance that in the next year or two, I could sell it for more than I bought it for even though I drove it around a couple years.

schestowitz-TR

if sold cheaply, be suspicious

schestowitz-TR

maybe something already comes apart

DaemonFC

I got the service history.

Apr 08 07:03

DaemonFC

It said they replaced a front stabilizer bar as well as one lower control arm and a lateral arm last year.

Apr 08 07:04

DaemonFC

They might have hit a pothole or something.

Apr 08 07:04

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR, I doubt that the car is in terrible shape at 55,000 miles.

Apr 08 07:05

DaemonFC

They put less than 4,000 miles per year on it.

schestowitz-TR

maybe desperate for cash

DaemonFC

In fact, that's why the fair price is relatively higher than others in the area.

schestowitz-TR

sold cheaply fast

schestowitz-TR

like the home we live in

schestowitz-TR

you can hope that's the reason

schestowitz-TR

and maybe you'll be lucky

DaemonFC

The blue book says $1,350 is added to the value for being below average miles.

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR, Yeah, Shaq (my mechanic) says there's nothing wrong with it and that the guy just doesn't get out anymore.

DaemonFC

He says it sat in the garage throughout COVID and then the guy put new tires on it and did some odds and ends and then now he decides he doesn't even drive much anymore and wants money.

schestowitz-TR

sounds plausible

DaemonFC

He said, "But the guy wants you to know that $7,500 is the price of the car. He won't take less.".

schestowitz-TR

given it was not driven much before either

DaemonFC

I told him I wasn't going to beat the guy up over the price if the car is indeed in good condition.

Apr 08 07:09

DaemonFC

Now if I got there and he wants $7,500 and it's going to need work right away I might start trying to trim some off of the price to make repairs.

Apr 08 07:09

schestowitz-TR

if you end up living inside the car again, that'll be a good investment LOL

DaemonFC

That hasn't happened lately.

schestowitz-TR

and mandy can piss off his sister

DaemonFC

I was 18 when I lived in my car last time.

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR, The joke's on MARISOL.

DaemonFC

I paid cash and got a car that's better than her stupid BMW that breaks all the time.

DaemonFC

$1,000 wheel bearing hubs.

Wccftech, by virtue of being megaphone of Phoronix, is now AMD marketing, and as AMD is a Microsoft booster, Wccftech follows with Michael's Microsoft boosting. Phoronix has no credibility left. Marketing site.

if the threats of github are a minority opinion even among gnu developers, it wouldnt take a bribe for osi to promote github

Apr 08 12:48

Apr 08 12:50

but github is the sort of thing osi would promote anyway

Apr 08 12:50

nitpicking licenses (a good idea wrt to commons clause) on the other hand, is also the sort of thing osi has always been about

schestowitz-TR

he gets like half a million bucks to pretend microsoft is OK

we have m,any sellouts liek these around

schestowitz

fossforce is now shilling LF

schestowitz

because LF paid it!!!

schestowitz

but fossforce in the past blasted LF

schestowitz

what has changed? MONEY.

matey

fossfarce had no integrity anyway, theyre liars

schestowitz

LF did NOT improve its behaviour

bilefield published lies, christine signed the letter

the actor?

schestowitz

schestowitz

you saw it already, I think

matey

most of the tr reading i did this year was in a text editor

matey

even when i load it in a browser theres typically no graphics

schestowitz-TR

we try to make it text-friendly

matey

obviously i miss out on gifs and things like that

schestowitz-TR

like, you'd not miss anything crucial in gemini with alt text

matey

video too

schestowitz-TR

of the text quotes/explains what images show

matey

anyway antonio banderas is actually from spain

Apr 08 13:06

matey

i would have assumed mexico

matey

i dont know any other banderas

schestowitz-TR

argentina has many italians and germans in it

schestowitz-TR

you can get that from surnames too

matey

andalusia, spain in particular

schestowitz-TR

but argentina was a bit of a failed experiment for european escapees

schestowitz-TR

many times in history they had crises

schestowitz-TR

carlo piana also entered osi

schestowitz-TR

but italo left

schestowitz-TR

one italian out

schestowitz-TR

2 in

schestowitz-TR

one as E.D>

schestowitz-TR

italo was leading the anti-RMS battle in libreoffice and in OSI

schestowitz-TR

from the boards (OSI and TDF)

matey

thats a shame

matey

ive stopped running libreoffice

schestowitz-TR

italo has been around for ages, but he often joins these silly "social" causes

matey

i never installed it in openbsd and i just dont care about it anymore

schestowitz-TR

weeks ago he wrote a hostile message to russia

schestowitz-TR

in effect not blaming putin

matey

if i actually get an odt i unzip it

schestowitz-TR

but extending guilt to russians

schestowitz-TR

which I think is counter-productive

matey

sure because wars are put to a vote

schestowitz-TR

many russians did a lot for openoffice.org and LO

schestowitz-TR

also for ODF

schestowitz-TR

many signers of the anti-OOXML petition were Russians

matey

i mean the document foundation also signed

schestowitz-TR

italo

schestowitz-TR

probabluy

matey

but you say italo was leading it

meeks was on the fence, at least at first

schestowitz-TR

you can see italo at microsoft

schestowitz-TR

in that photo op from simon flips

matey

i think long term libreoffice is just going to get sucked into collabora/gnome

schestowitz-TR

italo is not principled

schestowitz-TR

then again rms went to microsoft

matey

so politically, free software wise too, i dont think it has a sunny futur

schestowitz-TR

throught he'd lecture them LOL!!

schestowitz-TR

2 weeks later they LECTURED HIM

schestowitz-TR

called him pedo in the medioa

matey

rms has never understood the threat microsoft poses.

schestowitz-TR

because gates was making headlines after using epstein as a mule at MIT

matey

never. hes always downplayed it

matey

the position of the fsf seems to be: if you slap gpl on something its a good thing

matey

no matter where it comes from

schestowitz-TR

or if it's forced

schestowitz-TR

elike microsoft kernle patches (gplv2)

matey

this will never stop biting them in the arse. its the "all you need is a firewall" fallacy

matey

of course its a bit of a strawman, i dont deny it

matey

but only a little. mostly, its true imo

matey

true enough to be damning

matey

rms wrote an article on microsoft for the fsf

Apr 08 13:14

matey

where he downplays the threat they pose-- im sure youve seen it

Apr 08 13:14

matey

its been revised over the years, because it has to be

Apr 08 13:14

matey

the entire premise is flawed

Apr 08 13:15

matey

users have always seen microsoft as a threat, better than the fsf

Apr 08 13:16

matey

the fsf wants literally every ally it can get-- if they can just get microsoft to play along, theyll have them too

Apr 08 13:16

matey

thats why rms went there

Apr 08 13:16

matey

he should have stayed home and read the scorpion and the frog instead

schestowitz-TR

maybe he responds to the PR campaign

schestowitz-TR

which says

schestowitz-TR

"its irrational hatred"

schestowitz-TR

"don'\t write M$"

schestowitz-TR

in fact, if you don't call them by their official name, you are a crank

matey

id rather be a crank and be right

schestowitz-TR

yeah

matey

than be rms and let microsoft destroy free software entirely

schestowitz-TR

sometimes it's opp.

schestowitz-TR

if you are right they call you crank

schestowitz-TR

or if they call you crank, you might be just right

schestowitz-TR

and they cannot confront the message

schestowitz-TR

so it's down to name-calling

schestowitz-TR

but not all cranks are right

matey

no, cranks have a tendency of being wildly wrong

matey

hence cranks

schestowitz-TR

I forgot the discrete maths term for it

schestowitz-TR

Apr 08 13:23

schestowitz-TR

from memory

Apr 08 13:23

schestowitz-TR

I was 18 when they taught us that

Apr 08 13:24

schestowitz-TR

discrete maths

Apr 08 13:24

matey

if A is related to B and B is related to C, then A is related to C

schestowitz-TR

our lecturer on this was graham gough

matey

What is transitivity According to Piaget? Transitivity: Being able to understand how objects are related to one another is referred to as transitivity or transitive inference. This means that if one understands that a dog is a mammal and that a boxer is a dog, then a boxer must be a mammal.

schestowitz-TR

I wonder if he is still alive

schestowitz-TR

he'd have to be like 80 by now

matey

there was an actor by the same name (same spelling) on law and order

schestowitz-TR

sorry, wrong paste

techrights.org is HTTP-only

schestowitz-TR

in a sense

schestowitz-TR

we never advertise https

schestowitz-TR

but some people use shitty browser

schestowitz-TR

that vainly assume ALL sites are HTTPS

schestowitz-TR

even when they are NOT

schestowitz-TR

so we added HTTPS with self-signed cert

schestowitz-TR

but we never advertise those addresses

bnchs

but here it's HTTP only

bnchs

there's no self-signed cert

schestowitz-TR

because GulagWeb (the monopoly, Mozille+Gulag) hates anything that's not outsourced to AMERICA(TM)

schestowitz-TR

Our cert is good until May 23 2022

any negative consequences?

schestowitz-TR

it's not like I PAY or ask Zemlin for PERMISSION to make a new bunch of bytes

bnchs

openssl command too: openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -sha256 -fingerprint

bnchs

well there's no negative consequences, as nothing depends on techrights.org

schestowitz-TR

irc has it own cert

bnchs

let's encrypt?

Apr 08 13:59

schestowitz-TR

some irc clients do not accept non-CA stuff

stupid, I know...

so IRC clients accept self-signed certs for SASL crap

schestowitz-TR

maybe it's not a machine for kde

matey

no such thing

matey

a machine for kde <- /me builds a cluster that NEEDS useless crap added to it

schestowitz-TR

even at uni I noticed it

schestowitz-TR

as speeds doubled every few years

schestowitz-TR

and RAM also

bnchs

schestowitz-TR, it's called supercomputer syndrome

schestowitz-TR

instead of encouraging better s/w developers

bnchs

they blame bloat on the computer being OLD

schestowitz-TR

and development

schestowitz-TR

it encouraged developers to avoid optimisation

schestowitz-TR

and wrongly assume everyone had the same specs as them

bnchs

schestowitz-TR, not throw away the devs you have

schestowitz-TR

so that became a curse

bnchs

try to teach them how to optimize

schestowitz-TR

with js/electron it's taken to the extreme

bnchs

and not to rely on libraries for everything
