| oiaohm | schestowitz: comparing RMS to Martin Luther King Jr is the wrong one. The one you need to look to is Nelson Mandela. Remember Nelson Mandela put the main control under George Bizos so he could act more extreamly without indangering the movement. | Jun 10 09:42 |
| oiaohm | Martin Luther King Jr was not against merciless resistance. Where Nelson Mandela was. This gives a difference in how clean legally the person has to be at the top. This also means at times the person at the top has to step down and let another person take over on paper to protect things. | Jun 10 09:44 |

| zoobab | pleroma.site does not work here, the frontpage does not even load | Jun 10 11:30 |
| zoobab | I will be back to NNTP soon if that continues | Jun 10 11:31 |
| schestowitz | which browser? | Jun 10 11:38 |
| schestowitz | pleroma.site works for me with konqueror and FF | Jun 10 11:38 |
| schestowitz | you need JS | Jun 10 11:38 |
| schestowitz | it's Fediverse-compatible | Jun 10 11:38 |
| schestowitz | Mastodon and all | Jun 10 11:38 |
| schestowitz | NNTP is good also | Jun 10 11:39 |
| schestowitz | but you need to decide which forum, I posted like 100,000 posts through NNTP until around 2010 | Jun 10 11:39 |
| schestowitz | IRC is good also and we publish logs every day | Jun 10 11:39 |
| schestowitz | we can share links here and collaborate also | Jun 10 11:39 |
| schestowitz | links and even tweets of interest (team upc) are expanded by the bots | Jun 10 11:40 |
| schestowitz | I saw some decent IRC clients even for Android, so you can keep abreast on the go without all the surveillance of Twitter | Jun 10 11:40 |
| schestowitz | On an old tablet I has AndroIRC or something like that... | Jun 10 11:40 |

| schestowitz | so you waste time fighting, not sharing info | Jun 10 11:41 |
| schestowitz | zoobab: use pleroma.site if possible | Jun 10 11:43 |
| schestowitz | then Ariadne can add you to the viera bot | Jun 10 11:43 |
| schestowitz | and I can see your posts in real time | Jun 10 11:43 |
| schestowitz | you can cite twitter tweets there | Jun 10 11:43 |

| schestowitz | this one is France-hosted, afaik zoobab's mother's tongue is french, not dutch | Jun 10 11:48 |
| schestowitz | pleroma.site is also generally tuned into the agenda zoobab talks about it.... it's not some random bunch of people, they have many things in common | Jun 10 11:49 |
| schestowitz | so even for those who don't federate across platform seeing the local timeline can be handy | Jun 10 11:50 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Apple's lossless format kind of defeats one of the purposes of lossless audio. | Jun 10 21:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If an ALAC frame is corrupted, it can't even tell you. | Jun 10 21:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It defeats the other purpose because the files are about 10% larger than WavPack Extra High while requiring about the same amount of CPU time to decode them. | Jun 10 21:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even though I can transcode them to WavPack, they're not an ideal source because I have to run them through AccurateRIP to see if the files were internally corrupted. | Jun 10 21:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes one or more tracks don't match and that's probably why. | Jun 10 21:11 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Ripping a CD with a $5,000 Mac shouldn't mean a drive that skips and jumps randomly and a software program from Apple that doesn't bother to correct that, which puts it into an inefficient Apple format that can't even tell you if the file is corrupt or not. | Jun 10 21:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But, that's how Apple products have always been. | Jun 10 21:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm sure if the Windows kernel is so shitty that Slysoft managed to defeat all of the Blu Ray DRM, then Apple's shouldn't even be that much of a challenge. | Jun 10 21:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would be nice if Slysoft open sourced their software to crack Blu Ray Discs, but I guess it's better that a program exists than that one doesn't, even if it's proprietary. | Jun 10 21:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The DRM is nastier than shit and anything that undermines and defeats it is desirable. | Jun 10 21:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Once we have one copy of something that is stripped of the DRM, we can make as many as we want. | Jun 10 21:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I support what they're doing, even if it is unfortunately a proprietary program. | Jun 10 21:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | At some point, they're probably going to stop producing Blu Ray Discs to foist streaming on people. | Jun 10 21:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People are already doing lots of Web Rips. I approve of running the DRM software to decrypt something and make copies for other people. It's the one legitimate reason to run such a program on your computer. | Jun 10 21:22 |

| Ariadne | hahahahaha legal process is only part of it | Jun 10 22:27 |
| XRevan86 | "Collaboration" | Jun 10 22:27 |
| XRevan86 | > Transitioning is a collaborative process. We need to collaborate with our mental and physical health care teams at every stage of treatment. | Jun 10 22:27 |
| MinceR | stop, collaborate and listen? | Jun 10 22:27 |
| psydread | Red Hat spreading open source awareness | Jun 10 22:28 |
| XRevan86 | So a FOSS principle of collaboration is about collaborating with oneself? | Jun 10 22:28 |
| MinceR | i think it's about collaborating with ibm | Jun 10 22:28 |
| Ariadne | ??????? | Jun 10 22:28 |
| Ariadne | as a trans person this blog makes my brain hurt | Jun 10 22:28 |
| MinceR | so they can make users of your work depend on support contracts with ibm :> | Jun 10 22:28 |
| XRevan86 | > we must turn to our family, friends, and allies to fill in those gaps. | Jun 10 22:28 |
| XRevan86 | Though I don't know, "mental and physical health care teams" is just such a strange way to think of people. | Jun 10 22:28 |
| MinceR | does that cover all people? | Jun 10 22:29 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Just "family, friends, and allies" | Jun 10 22:29 |
| MinceR | :> | Jun 10 22:29 |
| XRevan86 | FOSS is all about collaboration with family, friends, and allies. | Jun 10 22:29 |
| Ariadne | I don't have | Jun 10 22:29 |
| Ariadne | a mental and physical health care teams | Jun 10 22:30 |
| Ariadne | I just have a doctor man | Jun 10 22:30 |
| Ariadne | literally it was like | Jun 10 22:30 |
| Ariadne | hi yes im trans give me fucking hormones | Jun 10 22:30 |
| Ariadne | ok done | Jun 10 22:30 |
| psydread | open up all of your sources to enjoy the most satisfying collaboration | Jun 10 22:31 |
| XRevan86 | Ariadne: I think this is more about being accepted by friends and family, and them supporting oneself, etc. | Jun 10 22:31 |
| Ariadne | ok | Jun 10 22:31 |
| Ariadne | but | Jun 10 22:31 |
| Ariadne | that's just basic decency | Jun 10 22:32 |
| Ariadne | not "open source" | Jun 10 22:32 |
| XRevan86 | But this still makes no sense. I could write a text like this about grocery shopping. | Jun 10 22:32 |
| schestowitz | I think Red Hat/IBM just wants to exploit all that media noise | Jun 10 22:32 |
| schestowitz | which imho hurts trans people | Jun 10 22:32 |
| Ariadne | "open source collaborating" is what I do on Grindr if you know what I mean | Jun 10 22:32 |
| XRevan86 | One has to collaborate to reach a conclusion on what will be on breakfast tomorrow. | Jun 10 22:32 |
| schestowitz | associating them with bullying and mob-lynching high-profile people | Jun 10 22:32 |
| Ariadne | meet up at hotel and review some merge requests o yeah | Jun 10 22:33 |
| schestowitz | anyway, I'm just going through red hat news picks at the moment, this one just baffled me... openwashing it seems | Jun 10 22:33 |
| Ariadne | that one is offensive | Jun 10 22:34 |
| psydread | but are you going to open up and publish your sources or not? | Jun 10 22:34 |
| XRevan86 | schestowitz: Well, I think the most harm comes from "look how silly the transgender people are, what strange comparisons they make", but I don't think people who can actually take that seriously read the Red Hat blog. | Jun 10 22:35 |
| Ariadne | psydread: like I said I do that on Grindr and fetlife | Jun 10 22:35 |
| XRevan86 | So eh, just another corporate entity trying to be inclusive in their misguided way. | Jun 10 22:35 |
| psydread | I've seen a lot of nonsense in Red Hat spam mails for more than a year now and it makes me wonder if that is a company I would ever want to rely on or even be associated with | Jun 10 22:36 |
| XRevan86 | Or maybe it's intentionally like that to grab attention. | Jun 10 22:36 |
| MinceR | or trying to googlebomb some terms | Jun 10 22:36 |
| MinceR | or trying to create an "open source" IBM transsexuality, available for sale | Jun 10 22:37 |
| psydread | and also if this was the ultimate goal they always had in mind ever since they started the company | Jun 10 22:37 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Oh, like a Method | Jun 10 22:37 |

| XRevan86 | At first I wondered: why didn't this go to spam, but then I noticed it came from gmail | Jun 10 22:39 |
| *Firee has quit (Quit: lolmoi) | Jun 10 22:39 | |
| psydread | now if we are serious about open source we should write blog posts about how Red Hat and IBM help us to do our daily business and we can't imagine life without them | Jun 10 22:40 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: I know someone trans from IBM | Jun 10 22:40 |
| XRevan86 | SEO's keep assaulting me | Jun 10 22:40 |
| schestowitz | a gnu/linux proponent | Jun 10 22:40 |
| schestowitz | the company isn't necessarily hostile towards them | Jun 10 22:40 |
| schestowitz | I think blacks have had more of an issue there, historically | Jun 10 22:40 |
| schestowitz | IBM is very typical white suits firm | Jun 10 22:40 |
| schestowitz | XRevan86: i get those too | Jun 10 22:41 |
| schestowitz | rianne also | Jun 10 22:41 |
| schestowitz | for tuxmachines | Jun 10 22:41 |
| MinceR | schestowitz: only the part that is trying to destroy both GNU and Linux? :> | Jun 10 22:41 |
| schestowitz | they're largelty automated | Jun 10 22:41 |
| schestowitz | they scrape names from icann/whois | Jun 10 22:42 |
| MinceR | i wonder what the card-carrying crApple shill part of IBM thinks of GNU and Linux | Jun 10 22:42 |
| schestowitz | and then pair that with some email params and templates, nothing personal, likely a bot | Jun 10 22:42 |
| psydread | "I went to the barber today because Red Hat helped me find the source of the scissors", "I found my way back to the beach at last, because open source allowed me consult the weather map and I deemed it sufficiently safe to go there" | Jun 10 22:42 |
| MinceR | lol | Jun 10 22:42 |
| schestowitz | red hat did even worse openwashing lately | Jun 10 22:42 |
| schestowitz | and they recruited jono bacon to help | Jun 10 22:43 |
| MinceR | maybe they're trying to strip the term "open source" of meaning | Jun 10 22:43 |
| schestowitz | they made up fake 'community' and hasgtags fro Whitehurst's book | Jun 10 22:43 |
| MinceR | they'll do this for microshit | Jun 10 22:43 |
| schestowitz | fake grassroors, astroturf | Jun 10 22:43 |
| schestowitz | it didn't last long, the whole thing was a sham | Jun 10 22:43 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: it serves them well when it loses meaning | Jun 10 22:43 |
| schestowitz | like open org | Jun 10 22:43 |
| schestowitz | open management | Jun 10 22:43 |
| XRevan86 | psydroid: Did you know that barbers employ Open Source principles in their work? | Jun 10 22:44 |
| schestowitz | means as much as open offices | Jun 10 22:44 |
| schestowitz | i.e. offices where $boss spies on you behind your back | Jun 10 22:44 |
| schestowitz | hardly "open" | Jun 10 22:44 |
| schestowitz | unless surveillance is "all about openness" | Jun 10 22:44 |
| schestowitz | don't even burp or fart, colleagues will mock you behind your back | Jun 10 22:44 |
| psydread | XRevan86, maybe you could enlighten me with a blog post on opensource.com | Jun 10 22:44 |
| schestowitz | the former editor of opensource.org threw a slur at me the other day | Jun 10 22:45 |
| schestowitz | AFTER she had blocked me | Jun 10 22:45 |
| schestowitz | though I NEVER SPOKE TO HER!! | Jun 10 22:45 |
| Ariadne | what slur was that | Jun 10 22:45 |
| schestowitz | (ever) | Jun 10 22:45 |
| Ariadne | tell us all | Jun 10 22:45 |
| schestowitz | something about a link being made to techrights by christine hall | Jun 10 22:46 |
| schestowitz | they try to stop her reading and linking to us | Jun 10 22:46 |
| schestowitz | esp. now that we speak a lot about ibm and redhat | Jun 10 22:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "means as much as open offices"> Brave warns about this in the Tor Tabs documentation. | Jun 10 22:46 |
| schestowitz | openoffice = good | Jun 10 22:46 |
| schestowitz | open office = crap | Jun 10 22:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you're using someone else's computer or your work computer, it might spy on you with software installed locally. | Jun 10 22:46 |
| schestowitz | open offices may thankfully die thanks to covid | Jun 10 22:46 |
| schestowitz | then I can easily swap between employers without risking having to leave my home office | Jun 10 22:47 |
| MinceR | :) | Jun 10 22:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | COVID-19 seems to be slowing down faster than I was hoping. | Jun 10 22:47 |
| Ariadne | nah | Jun 10 22:47 |
| *Firee (~Firee@unaffiliated/firee) has joined #techrights | Jun 10 22:47 | |
| XRevan86 | > We don’t come out all at once, but instead continually and with every new interaction. | Jun 10 22:47 |
| Ariadne | it's gonna peak hardcore | Jun 10 22:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was hoping it would keep flushing the shit that gave us Donald Trump. | Jun 10 22:47 |
| *Firee has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Jun 10 22:47 | |
| XRevan86 | Something about this sentence rubs me the wrong way | Jun 10 22:47 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: my sister is forced back to the office now | Jun 10 22:47 |
| schestowitz | though she wanted to carry on working from home | Jun 10 22:48 |
| Ariadne | cuz of memorial day | Jun 10 22:48 |
| MinceR | the death rate is way too low for that | Jun 10 22:48 |
| MinceR | maybe with reinfection... | Jun 10 22:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Like the bum in Chicago was shouting.... | Jun 10 22:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Anything helps! Anything helps!" | Jun 10 22:48 |
| MinceR | lol | Jun 10 22:48 |
| MinceR | a meteorite would certainly help | Jun 10 22:48 |
| schestowitz | the only impact covid had on us was having to work out from home | Jun 10 22:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, the virus only kills 2% or so, but 90% of that is people over 60. | Jun 10 22:49 |
| schestowitz | (and buying food less frequently) | Jun 10 22:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're the biggest bunch of kooks and cranks and shitheads that we have in this country, it seems. | Jun 10 22:49 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: It also kills badly protected doctors and nurses. | Jun 10 22:49 |
| psydread | XRevan86, that sounds like the perspective from the side of the currently raging virus | Jun 10 22:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're not even smart enough to appreciate that 2% which is 90% people over 60 is not great news for them. | Jun 10 22:49 |
| schestowitz | it's not universal | Jun 10 22:50 |
| XRevan86 | Apparently there's a correlation between severity and amount of exposure. | Jun 10 22:50 |
| schestowitz | in the uk we had almost 50k deaths and 250k cases | Jun 10 22:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The figure is only 2% overall when you consider everyone who gets it, even though like 99.5% of people under 50 end up living. | Jun 10 22:50 |
| XRevan86 | psydroid: Hah, it does. | Jun 10 22:50 |
| schestowitz | so I think there are severe anomalies in how countries count | Jun 10 22:50 |
| schestowitz | depending on how dishonest the regimes are | Jun 10 22:50 |
| schestowitz | trump tried to game cdc to play the numbers down | Jun 10 22:51 |
| MinceR | definitely | Jun 10 22:51 |
| MinceR | the hungarian government even avoids testing | Jun 10 22:51 |
| schestowitz | lol | Jun 10 22:51 |
| MinceR | to keep the numbers low | Jun 10 22:51 |
| schestowitz | like bolsonaro at the start | Jun 10 22:51 |
| *XRevan86 is not going to start on Russia. | Jun 10 22:51 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | So when you consider that it ends up killing like triple the overall rate when you're over 60, you see why there were shutdowns, and why Republicans were too stupid to appreciate the attempt to save their lives. | Jun 10 22:51 |
| Ariadne | Russia is Russia. I just assume it's fucko | Jun 10 22:51 |
| schestowitz | russia now reports over 200 deaths per day | Jun 10 22:51 |
| MinceR | the talking head in the operative superactiongroup who's allegedly a "doctor" said "you can't stop an epidemic with testing" as the excuse | Jun 10 22:51 |
| schestowitz | but the parade is coming | Jun 10 22:51 |
| XRevan86 | Pretty much because any opinion that contradicts the officials or goes further is considered fake news. | Jun 10 22:52 |
| schestowitz | regardless, except in cities where covid is spreading widely and fast | Jun 10 22:52 |
| schestowitz | and worse than china, in russia the physicians get thrown out of windows for speaking out | Jun 10 22:52 |
| schestowitz | iirc, 3 of them last I checked | Jun 10 22:52 |
| MinceR | they should have started jumping to their deaths earlier | Jun 10 22:52 |
| XRevan86 | schestowitz: Not only the parade, the plebiscite too. | Jun 10 22:52 |
| MinceR | that way, they'd have nets now! | Jun 10 22:53 |
| MinceR | like foxconn. | Jun 10 22:53 |
| schestowitz | each time I hear about people 'falling' from windows it's EPO or Russia | Jun 10 22:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So if they just act like a bunch of assholes about it, then to hell with them I guess. What was even the point?They're right because they're the reason the shutdown was pointless. | Jun 10 22:53 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: are there safety nets in case the nets fail? | Jun 10 22:53 |
| MinceR | lol | Jun 10 22:53 |
| MinceR | unlikely | Jun 10 22:53 |
| MinceR | those would cost extra money | Jun 10 22:53 |
| schestowitz | I saw these in Berlin | Jun 10 22:54 |
| schestowitz | the department stores had nets | Jun 10 22:54 |
| Ariadne | open sourcing my gender transition means I should share screencaps of FetLife DMs from stupid men | Jun 10 22:54 |
| XRevan86 | The plebiscite is extremely important to them, so of course they're not going to postpone it further no matter what happens. | Jun 10 22:54 |
| schestowitz | so I assume some really dumb germans decided to "make a run for it" near the escalators... then splat... all over the perfumes department | Jun 10 22:54 |

| Ariadne | lets just say typical men get very rapey when trying to hit on women and transwomen | Jun 10 22:55 |
| schestowitz | and it seems like they're controlled using fear by the regime | Jun 10 22:55 |
| schestowitz | some stories to that effect hinted at it lately | Jun 10 22:55 |
| schestowitz | and they played along with false narratives like covid slow-down | Jun 10 22:55 |
| schestowitz | even when the numbers objectively did not support that | Jun 10 22:56 |
| XRevan86 | schestowitz: The numbers do support that. However, they are pretty strange. | Jun 10 22:57 |
| XRevan86 | It's like they're capped at 10k | Jun 10 22:57 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Fascists (Republicans) don't care what you did when you worked our how much you paid in taxes. | Jun 10 23:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When you collect Social Security, you're basically just more scum on welfare to them. | Jun 10 23:03 |
