[04:33]	TR News	IOC policies are not problematic because of "trans people" but because they open the door to the argument that for women to take steroids, e.g. to compete in boxing, is OK. And no limit shall exist, they can just take as many male hormones as they want. It does help.
[04:35]	TR News	The moment when/where fairness in sport ceases to exist it isn't about sports but about nutrition and supplementation, sort of like "bodybuilding competitions" where they really compete over anabolic steroid intake, not inborn gift, skills, or hard work at a gym (in other words, it's not a sport, just chemistry).
[04:36]	TR News	So Olympics have officially crossed the barrier where medals are awarded not based on merit but tricks
[04:37]	TR News	Sort of like GAFAM "competing" over who gets the most bailouts, debt, then gives the most data about people to regimes, advertisers etc. They compete based on who steals from and harms people the most.
[04:40]	TR News	Audience is the lifeblood of professional sport. If people tune in because of controversies, e.g. Marion Jones doping and crying, it's becoming melodramas rather than competitions. Olympics... sponsored by McDonalds.
[04:41]	TR News	Sports without rules are like planes that don't take off
[04:42]	TR News	But then again, it's all "Russia's fault". Russians banned, people who cheat not banned.

[06:08]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: 
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	> Part II: Why I did not buy a Macbook Air.
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	> Amazon had Macbook Airs on sale this week. I looked it over. Personally, I do think more computer makers should go to the ARM instruction set and design desktop class hardware. I see x86 and Windows as deeply intertwined, with many of the flaws of one exacerbating those of the other. Fortunately, by moving away from Windows, we're able to shed much of the baggage that comes with it.
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	> Unfortunately, right now, Apple is the only one doing this. There are some ARM board with DIY mini-computer kits you can get for not much money and sort of build yourself a little ARM-based "Mac Mini"-like system that runs various editions of Linux, and I think that's terrific, but none of the Pi devices are competitive with the performance of the Apple Silicon chips.
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	> Surprisingly, Apple hasn't been as hostile to the effort to port Linux over to the M series Macs as I had anticipated. They've done almost nothing to help, except getting out of the way and letting it run, which is more than what Microsoft has in store if they ever get their act together and port Windows to ARM devices and it doesn't result in a fire sale later because nobody wanted a Windows computer that didn't run any Windows 
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	apps.
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	> Windows is only still in use due to aggressive bundling, government corruption, corporate corruption, and because of the ungodly amount of binary-only proprietary software that's been made for it. To an extent it loses compatibility with itself every time a version of it is released.
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	> Windows 10/11 are essentially a "really crappy rolling release" that mess with the binaries, libraries, included programs, and where each segment of data is in code, and lately they've been aggressively removing the really important compatibility holdovers from the Windows XP era, like DirectX 9. Since so many people are using it, they've managed to often make it work in spite of itself with really terrible security software that is 
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	often wrong and "hacks" like porting over bits of Wine or even running virtual machines that emulate an older version of Windows (which can easily be done on most operating systems).
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:08]	IsambardPrince	> But the "really aggressive bundling" part includes what I call "fake security features" like "Secure Boot", which had a major debacle affecting almost all systems that have ever come with it recently, but Microsoft has been expanding the hostilities to the point where they disable the Third Party Certificate that they sign the "shim" bootloader stub for Linux distributions with (for $99 from each distribution and ongoing fees, 
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	apparently, they've been signing it with that certificate, probably to avoid being sued).
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> The problem is that when you turn the Certificate on, I've been told it can change the state of the TPM and cause the Bitlocker Drive Encryption to malfunction.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> Apple has a security chip, as most systems do now, Google's is the Titan, and Macs have "T2", but Apple hasn't done anything to prevent people from easily installing Asahi-based Linux distributions, including a variant of Fedora. In fact, Linus Torvalds himself (who started the Linux kernel) now uses a Macbook.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> Most of what's known about the Macbook hardware comes from a community reverse engineering things and writing drivers. The problem with that is the work is never done and you never get everything quite right. Apple hasn't really been documenting anything. But they haven't done anything truly awful like stop people from trying, so most of the hardware does work.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> There's a few problems I see with Linux on an M series Mac that would concern me.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> While Apple's Macbook hardware is reasonably well built and has excellent specifications, and if I was dictating hardware this is pretty much exactly what I would tell people to come back to me with, it is meant to run macOS.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> This means, for instance, the graphics chipset, while impressive, is not quite Vulkan or OpenGL compatible (very important graphics APIs), instead being built to handle Apple Metal (their API), so obviously nobody developing for Linux is going to write a Metal driver for Linux and even if people did, no existing software uses it because it's not an open standard. It's just similar enough to Vulkan and OpenGL that so far there's 
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	OpenGL ES (Embedded Systems) support and I'm not sure how the rest is coming along. I've been told it's unlikely to ever support the entirety in hardware, and while that may not be blocking in itself (as lavapipe could probably stand in for the missing pieces and just run them on the M processor which are absolute performance beasts anyway and well suited to the task), it means work, work means time. I need something that works now.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> You also have to leave macOS around in some capacity to manage firmware updates.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> Unlike Windows PCs where you can just update the UEFI and pray to you don't brick your system one last time then hop over to Linux and destroy Windows, you have to leave the macOS alone even if it's just to shrink it to a small amount of space enough to boot into it once in a while for firmware management, but that does leave some of the SSD (expensive) wasted when I want nothing from macOS.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> You could remove macOS from a Mac, and replace it with Linux, but most people wouldn't. For starters, you'd have to take it to an Apple Store to ask them to fix it for you if you ever wanted macOS back, and the more people who do this, the more likely Apple is to figure Linux is "costing them money" and they'd better lock us out of our own computers like Microsoft is inching towards each year. You'd also be unable to update the 
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	firmware, and on the Mac, the computer is largely defined by firmware in a way that x86 PCs are not defined by the (grotesquely incompetent) UEFI firmware. If you don't update the firmware on your Mac, it's likely that Asahi Linux will eventually need something from that update and won't work fully without it, so you'll just kick yourself.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> Also, power management is one of the hardest parts of a computer to get right.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> So many things are in play that it's not just a question of making it work, it's testing to make sure it does not corrupt the user's data when you turn that part of it on.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> Power management on x86 PCs (Windows and the majority of Chromebooks) is not great, but in many cases it's really bad on Windows because they turn things off when they're too buggy and it sabotages the system's "deep sleep states" (pc1 through pc10, many Windows computers can't make it past the first 2-3 package states even though there's like 10, so the Windows computers could theoretically run for 12-14 hours on modern Intel 
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	hardware, but between hardware, firmware, Windows, and driver issues, it's usually more like 4-5 hours tops unless they've put the mother of all batteries in it. It's terrible. They're noisy, they're hot.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> Even Linux won't turn all power management on in an average x86 (started life with Windows) laptop, because power management is hard. It's hard to even say how terribly terribly difficult it is. That said, if you want to try, most distributions ship powertop --autotune as a system service that sets everything to good and can get you a few more hours than Windows, and I haven't blown myself up yet.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> But on an M series Macbook, power management under macOS is terrific. Many users see no more than 1-2 watts at idle, and the average Intel/AMD x86 PC with Windows idles at like 8-10 watts and Linux with powertop autotune idling at about 4-6.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> So Apple has done power management and done it well, but they don't tell anyone else how they did it, so that 16-18 hour runtime off the charger turns into 8-9 on Linux. Still not horrible, but obviously it 's going through the battery twice as fast, and there's some other quirks.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> If Apple documented the hardware, Linux would have better drivers, and I wouldn't even be talking about Chromebooks right now. It would be a shut up and take my money situation. And that's saying something given how cheap I can be, but when it comes to my computers, there's just a level of aggravation that I can't accept, which is why I haven't used Windows on anything I've owned other than a brief "can I make Windows 11 install on 
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	a 2016 laptop that flies with Linux?" and I did and Windows 11 was horrible. Even with all the latest drivers, not the "drivers that time forgot" that Windows still manages to "half install" it was noticeably janky and managed to heat up a laptop that idles quietly and cool to the touch in Linux with powertop autotune.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	> In closing, Apple manages to frustrate me more than Microsoft sometimes. Their hardware is nearly perfect, not the trash that breaks down on you from Microsoft's PC partners, or a Windows OS that none of the cool kids have ran in years because it's flatly embarrassing, but at the end of the day I want to do what I want to do with it and the Mac won't let me. Not fully.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	>  
[06:10]	IsambardPrince	> While I get that you can kind of bling macOS out to be more UNIX-like, it's terribly clear that the audience is not a bunch of UNIX beards, it's hipsters and show offs. I get my food at Walmart and Aldi and often tear into my own car looking to fix something myself. I am not of them.

[08:52]	IsambardPrince	> Another jab at Microsoft (I'll be quick, maybe.)
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	>  
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	> It's very obvious that Windows 11 is meant to superficially resemble ChromeOS.

[08:52]	IsambardPrince	> It would be hilarious if it weren't so annoying. They've tried using Windows on the Chromebook price points and every time they've done it they've ended up with something so awful that people took screen shots of the Windows Task Manager showing that there's no resources left for any of the programs on such a system and asking why on Earth anyone would sell such a system.
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	>  
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	> It is a good question. Amazon will take most things back though, so don't dilly dally.
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	>  
[08:52]	psydruid	Who would gave thought they would be scoring own goals at the very same time
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	> Historically, Windows development has trended towards being a very slovenly and disorganized mess where there's no clear line of separation between anything, and it shows. The entire thing is "the platform" to the extent that even though Microsoft claims that Internet Explorer is gone, it really isn't. You can force it to pop up, and it was the subject of yet another critical security vulnerability just last month.
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	>  
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	> The rotting guts of the subject of Microsoft's 1997 antitrust trial is still in there festering. These things are not sleek and sophisticated modern operating systems. They're plasticware, huffing and puffing under the weight of Windows to the point where even loading Edge is painful and takes a while.
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	>  
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	> Amusingly, Microsoft paid for a TV commercial with the Pawn Stars when Chromebooks were new and didn't do very much. Rick Harrison says "with no network connection the thing is a brick".
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	>  
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	> Amusingly, Microsoft can't even compete in the thin client segment of the market anymore, and every copy of Windows requires a Microsoft account to log into the OS, and has all-or-nothing updates that come from the Internet and frequently change so much that they cause problems nearly every month they release one. The thing about festering garbage piles is they tend to fall over when you pluck an empty soda can that's at the bottom 
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	out.
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	>  
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	> Microsoft is desperately trying to play catch up in another market it missed the boat on a long time ago, and evidently misunderstands who is own customers are even supposed to be. They've historically been comically slow to adapt. Shrink wrapped Windows software that you were supposed to buy off a shelf in a store was a thing until very recently, when I was downloading software for my Linux computers 25 years ago out of package 
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	managers.
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	>  
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	> Not satisfied, Microsoft now insists that there are "Windows package managers" and of course instead of providing one, they have a "store" where many of the apps are fake or being pitched by obvious scam artists who are trying to make money off someone else's software. They've replaced the "red light district" of "random EXEs from Web sites" with a "Windows Store" ghetto where all sorts of horrible things from days gone by, like

[09:09]	IsambardPrince	Then I found myself in need of a graphics card. So I got a 3dfx one.
[09:10]	IsambardPrince	Then with games and MP3s, I started bumping into the 4 GB hard disk, so I grabbed a 20 GB one.

[09:10]	IsambardPrince	I used one of the expansion ports for a DVD RW drive.
[09:11]	IsambardPrince	After that the DVD-ROM drive was mainly used for ripping or listening to CDs.
[09:12]	IsambardPrince	I used that utility to gut Windows 98 of all the IE crap and install the Windows 95 B shell, that made enough space to dual boot and have all my files.

[22:50]	IsambardPrince	I spun up a VM with Ubuntu and one with Fedora in it. This is getting pretty wild.
[22:50]	IsambardPrince	I can run several Linux distributions at once in the ChromeOS Flex Linux subsystem.
[22:51]	IsambardPrince	It's sort of like WSL except that it is actually Linux, does work, and isn't extending it with Microsoftisms and DirectX.
[22:51]	IsambardPrince	WSL is turning into the MSJVM all over again, but I dodn't think that anyone has a serious reason to use it.
[22:52]	IsambardPrince	It's like putting a Rolls Royce on top of a garbage truck and bragging that you're driving the Rolls Royce. (WSL)
[22:53]	IsambardPrince	The Linux environment on ChromeOS can't really hurt anything. If something goes wrong or there's too much of a mess in there that you don't want to clean it, you can just zap it with one button and start over.
[22:57]	psydruid	WSL is a failed attempt at stemming the tide and prevent an inevitable exodus from Windows
[22:58]	psydruid	I recently worked on some project with some friends and the one who had to work on Windows really had to run through hoops to maintain a workable development environment
[22:59]	psydruid	files would get corrupted and he had random weird bugs
[22:59]	psydruid	or code that shouldn't compile but compiled anyway

[23:02]	IsambardPrince	Right, Windows should never be the OS running as the Host.
[23:02]	IsambardPrince	Ideally it won't be running at all.
[23:02]	IsambardPrince	But at this point it's an OS to put in a VM if you have to deal with it at all.
[23:03]	IsambardPrince	Just making it fire up a Linux kernel sort of misses the point. There's really no reason a regular user should even install WSL if they use Windows, because all the important open source applications tend to have a Windows port anyway.
[23:03]	IsambardPrince	But on a Chromebook, the Linux environment adds a lot of value because that is the way to run desktop applications.

[23:04]	IsambardPrince	Plus, unlike Windows, which is a mess that's impossible to secure, and you'll only waste money and slow down your computer even trying, Chromebooks don't get viruses.
[23:04]	IsambardPrince	I've never seen a failed update that took out a Chromebook.
[23:05]	IsambardPrince	On Windows, these are nearly a monthly occurrence.
[23:06]	IsambardPrince	The cottage industry built around Windows problems, like fix it utilities, antivirus companies, and things like Best Buy Geek Squad, are having major layoffs.
[23:06]	IsambardPrince	Even though Windows is deteriorating.
[23:06]	IsambardPrince	If Windows had a stable userbase, then these layoffs in the "Windows problem" industry wouldn't be so severe.
[23:07]	IsambardPrince	Best Buy Geek Squad laid off heavily this year.
[23:07]	IsambardPrince	And the Windows section is shrinking.
[23:07]	IsambardPrince	They did a mod reset at the local store and I saw approximately 25% of the Windows PC floor space go away.
[23:08]	IsambardPrince	They used it to expand Chromebooks, Apple, and small appliances.
[23:08]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz-pi2: ^
[23:08]	IsambardPrince	For some reason, the only thing to hit the news was how they'll stop selling DVDs.
[23:09]	IsambardPrince	Best Buy seems to be pivoting away from Windows. There's more profit to be made from people coming in to shop for Apple and Chromebooks.
[23:12]	lightbringer	i wonder how that will change of goolag kills ad blocking on chrome

[23:12]	TR Bot	 Desktop Operating System Market Share United States Of America | Statcounter Global Stats
[23:12]	IsambardPrince	Windows is down to 63.61% of desktop operating systems in the US.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	People are not buying replacements that run Windows when their computer breaks down or needs an upgrade.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	Even if they remain with a desktop OS.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	[17:12] <lightbringer> i wonder how that will change of goolag kills ad blocking on chrome
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	I doubt Google's really concerned about people running Firefox in the Linux container.
[23:14]	IsambardPrince	There's also DNS servers that zap most ads and trackers before the browser can even get them.
[23:15]	psydruid	I wonder what the situation in Norway is like if the Windows section is being downsized in US electronics store

[23:16]	psydruid	if this is correct 3 out 10 customers are looking for Linux computers
[23:16]	psydruid	as a retailer you can't just ignore 30% of your market
[23:17]	IsambardPrince	In the US people seem to be tossing the Windows computer and buying a Mac or a Chromebook.
[23:17]	IsambardPrince	Usually a Mac from the chart data.
[23:17]	IsambardPrince	Microsoft's in a bad position when in each upgrade cycle, only maybe 6-8 out of 10 people keep Windows the next time around.
[23:18]	IsambardPrince	It's not a market that is growing and it's the only one that really mattered much to them in the first place.
[23:18]	IsambardPrince	If you can't keep users, you won't keep application developers, at least not ones that consider Windows the primary target.
[23:20]	psydruid	things will get wild when corporate developers start moving business applications away from Windows
[23:21]	psydruid	because that is one of its most important markets and strongholds
[23:21]	lightbringer	probably MICROS~1 will start shitting into Linux even harder if that happens
[23:21]	IsambardPrince	Does ChromeOS even use systemd yet or is Google still maintaining their version of Upstart?
[23:21]	IsambardPrince	The documentation still says ChromeOS is using Upstart.
[23:22]	IsambardPrince	That says a lot that Google would rather maintain Upstart themselves than bring in systemd.
[23:23]	IsambardPrince	They obviously have people who know what they're doing on the tech side of things while most Linux distributions have lost their minds.
[23:23]	IsambardPrince	In the Linux container there's technically systemd running in that.
[23:24]	IsambardPrince	But it's a VM and not in charge of the host, so its ability to fuck up your computer is very limited because you're only meant to interact with programs running under Linux in the container from within the context of ChromeOS.
[23:26]	IsambardPrince	Even if it is using systemd, it's not like the user has to touch it.
[23:26]	IsambardPrince	Which is just as well.
[23:26]	IsambardPrince	The documentation for systemd if there is any is usually wrong.
[23:27]	IsambardPrince	Because that was three entire Fedoras ago.
[23:27]	IsambardPrince	So by the time Arch has documented it :) it's already wrong.
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	It's not meant to be documented.
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	It's meant to test on Fedora users and sell to RHEL users.
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	Then the RHEL users have to pay for support because they don't know what the hell is happening.
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	Then IBM patches it for money.
[23:30]	IsambardPrince	Then a new release comes out and changes things there's no reason to change again.
[23:30]	IsambardPrince	And they'll be paying for upgrades for years.
[23:30]	IsambardPrince	It's delightful, isn't it?
[23:31]	IsambardPrince	If software got stable to the point it was boring and predictable then there'd be no money in selling support.
[23:31]	IsambardPrince	So buying support means that the people you pay never have any reason to make sure it's stable to the point of being boring and letting you get stuff done, and so it never is.
[23:31]	IsambardPrince	And then you ride with Osama, or something.
