MinceR | 09 213056 < DaemonFC> It's unbelievable what happened to this state. The Republicans controlled the state government from 1995-1997, and instead of repealing the FOID Act, they introduced a bunch of abortion laws the Democrats repealed later. | Jul 10 00:15 |

matey | <MinceR> proving that the "republicans" are just as useless as the "democrats" <- same party, the bend over for corporate rule party | Jul 10 00:28 |
matey | the corporations could give a shit whether you have 20 abortions or buy 20 suvs | Jul 10 00:29 |
matey | thats all stuff they use to sell politicians to voters | Jul 10 00:29 |
matey | then when the corporations rape the entire country, instead of angry mobs the people go OMG THEYLL FEEL THIS IN THE POLLS! | Jul 10 00:30 |
matey | but they never fucking do | Jul 10 00:30 |
matey | s/country/world/ because if theyres anyone they fuck harder than the entire country, its other countries | Jul 10 00:31 |
matey | theres | Jul 10 00:31 |
MinceR | yup | Jul 10 00:31 |
matey | republican senators / congress / presidents: frauds | Jul 10 00:31 |
matey | democrat etc / etc / etc: frauds | Jul 10 00:31 |
matey | its a scam | Jul 10 00:31 |
matey | dfc thinks he can minmax his way to success with them | Jul 10 00:32 |

matey | its not a real democracy folks, its not even a real republic | Jul 10 00:33 |
matey | trumps like blah blah blah the election | Jul 10 00:33 |
matey | the whole system is bullshit | Jul 10 00:33 |
MinceR | the whole society is bullshit, including the "social contract" | Jul 10 00:34 |
matey | society runs on capitalism | Jul 10 00:34 |
matey | capitalism doesnt pull the strings-- it owns the strings, and everything on the ends of the strings too | Jul 10 00:34 |
MinceR | https://pleated-jeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/weekend-random-randomness-7-2-22-13.jpg | Jul 10 00:34 |
matey | it owns the news, literally, it owns everyones homes, it owns the people themselves | Jul 10 00:35 |
matey | if capitalism wants everyone sucking dicks for starbucks while getting ubi (not that im against ubi) | Jul 10 00:36 |
matey | then everyone (more or less) is going to be on their knees getting extra foam for their crappucino while getting ubi | Jul 10 00:36 |
matey | of course, thats exactly why you want baristas to unionise | Jul 10 00:37 |
matey | its one small step for baristas... | Jul 10 00:37 |
matey | seriously its this or just go ahead and finish surrendering | Jul 10 00:38 |

schestowitz[TR] | if you assume they are only popular among geeks | Jul 10 00:59 |
schestowitz[TR] | they are popular among teens | Jul 10 00:59 |
schestowitz[TR] | not geeks | Jul 10 00:59 |

schestowitz[TR] | does fsf sell pogo sticks? | Jul 10 00:59 |
matey | they might as well | Jul 10 00:59 |
matey | in the new video, a bunch of things happen that make roughly zero sense | Jul 10 00:59 |
schestowitz[TR] | what age did rms quit his job at mit to focus on gnu? | Jul 10 00:59 |
matey | the first transformation of the heroine in the video (i realise im talking to myself here) she gains a cape and a walking stick | Jul 10 01:00 |
matey | the walking stick isnt used again except to help one person up at some point-- after its established that the other person can fly. | Jul 10 01:00 |

matey | after its established that this person can fly-- in a big cave | Jul 10 01:01 |
schestowitz[TR] | born | Jul 10 01:01 |
schestowitz[TR] | March 16, 1953 | Jul 10 01:01 |
matey | they find a bunch of pogo sticks | Jul 10 01:01 |
matey | which becomes one of their primary modes of transport for a while | Jul 10 01:01 |
schestowitz[TR] | so he has not held a "job" per se since age 30 | Jul 10 01:01 |
matey | inside a cave. | Jul 10 01:01 |
matey | his job is doing public talks. thats where his money comes from. | Jul 10 01:02 |
matey | thats his career. | Jul 10 01:02 |
schestowitz[TR] | maybe later this year I will do techrights 100% of the time (to reuse the IBM phrase) | Jul 10 01:02 |

schestowitz[TR] | ""Until "around 1998", he maintained an office at the Institute that doubled as his legal residence." | Jul 10 01:02 |

schestowitz[TR] | they were like endowments | Jul 10 01:03 |
schestowitz[TR] | *atatched | Jul 10 01:03 |
matey | yeah, he contributed to ai research and stuff | Jul 10 01:03 |
matey | until he wrote an offensive email | Jul 10 01:04 |
schestowitz[TR] | I should look into such stuff that helps run stuff without selling out to companies | Jul 10 01:04 |
schestowitz[TR] | working 36 hoiurs a week is tiring | Jul 10 01:04 |

matey | oops | Jul 10 01:12 |
matey | he got the idea that his job was being stallmans babysitter | Jul 10 01:12 |
schestowitz[TR] | 2002: "Updated: $Date: 2002/05/24 17:51:35 $ $Author: rao $" | Jul 10 01:12 |
matey | who decided that stallman needed one? | Jul 10 01:12 |
matey | maybe kuhn did | Jul 10 01:12 |
matey | sometimes people are given a job and carve out a niche doing something related | Jul 10 01:12 |
matey | that certainly describes kuhns career | Jul 10 01:13 |
matey | its a minor detail that he carved it in stallmans back with the knife he took back out of it | Jul 10 01:13 |
matey | but nobody tells bradley m. kuhn that his position is a conflict of interest! | Jul 10 01:14 |
matey | he will show you what a conflict of interest REALLY IS! | Jul 10 01:14 |

matey | have fun looking that up | Jul 10 01:16 |
matey | to say the least, it would be an easy way to get esrs dna | Jul 10 01:17 |
matey | and it fits with a theme rms started about being the "father of open source" | Jul 10 01:17 |
matey | it also implies esr has one, which throws all male-kind under the bus a little at his expense | Jul 10 01:18 |

matey | but it will still get done | Jul 10 02:48 |
matey | its too bad more people didnt start thinking about this years ago | Jul 10 02:48 |
matey | but make no mistake, some did | Jul 10 02:49 |
schestowitz[TR] | Ariadne: some more tables at the TM DB are failing, we need to move to the new CMS soon to avoid data loss | Jul 10 02:49 |
matey | you know we used to believe fsf would give a shit about systemd | Jul 10 02:49 |
matey | a LONG LONG time ago | Jul 10 02:49 |
matey | thats when we found out what stallman really thinks about unix | Jul 10 02:49 |
schestowitz[TR] | Red Hat was a sponsor | Jul 10 02:49 |
matey | the design | Jul 10 02:49 |
schestowitz[TR] | he focused on the licence | Jul 10 02:49 |
schestowitz[TR] | not the design | Jul 10 02:50 |
matey | Red Hat was a sponsor <- thats like saying mlk jr was a sponsor of the civil rights movement | Jul 10 02:50 |
schestowitz[TR] | but the designed he copied was unix | Jul 10 02:50 |
matey | they were a little bit more than a sponsor | Jul 10 02:50 |
matey | but the designed he copied was unix <- and we mistook that for appreciation | Jul 10 02:50 |
schestowitz[TR] | it was more convenient tro replace existing tools or impmentations | Jul 10 02:50 |
matey | really, he was very open about the fact that he used it just because it made his job easy | Jul 10 02:50 |
matey | we projected an ideal of portability and making forking / freedom 3 easier | Jul 10 02:51 |
matey | we imagined an ally in that | Jul 10 02:51 |
matey | he never was. and he doesnt have to be, but that means freedom 3 would suffer like it does today | Jul 10 02:51 |
matey | it was a flaw in his philosophy | Jul 10 02:51 |
matey | he didnt realise that the 4 freedoms were supported by DE FACTO things | Jul 10 02:51 |
matey | he just thought "lets prop up these very good things" | Jul 10 02:52 |
matey | over the years, gnu gutted these de facto supports for the 4 freedoms | Jul 10 02:52 |
matey | above all, freedom 4-- the freedom to remove the software | Jul 10 02:52 |
matey | without that, its nothing but a set of free shackles, with the HYPOTHETICAL freedom to change the shackle | Jul 10 02:52 |
matey | thats what systemd is | Jul 10 02:52 |
matey | and stallman remains clueless about it | Jul 10 02:52 |
matey | you just cant tell him | Jul 10 02:53 |
matey | same problem with freedom threats moving from sw to hw | Jul 10 02:53 |
matey | he doesnt get it | Jul 10 02:53 |
schestowitz[TR] | he does | Jul 10 02:53 |
matey | and you can try to find a way for him to get it for YEARS | Jul 10 02:53 |
matey | and he deosnt | Jul 10 02:53 |
schestowitz[TR] | but he feels poweless against it | Jul 10 02:53 |
schestowitz[TR] | except they speak out | Jul 10 02:53 |
schestowitz[TR] | e.f. DBD | Jul 10 02:53 |
matey | <schestowitz[TR]> he does <- youve flat out made things up about this. | Jul 10 02:53 |
schestowitz[TR] | they did speak about the hardware side issue | Jul 10 02:54 |
matey | DBD <- dbd is an exception | Jul 10 02:54 |
schestowitz[TR] | that's why they demand no blogs like firmware | Jul 10 02:54 |
matey | in general he does not get hardware threats. | Jul 10 02:54 |
schestowitz[TR] | brb | Jul 10 02:54 |
matey | drm is an exception, but drm can be a software thing too | Jul 10 02:54 |
matey | to him it doesnt matter-- drm is drm | Jul 10 02:54 |
matey | at any rate if you talk to the hardware people | Jul 10 02:55 |
matey | youll see what he doesnt get | Jul 10 02:55 |
matey | you cant really determine what he doesnt get by staring at the things he does. | Jul 10 02:55 |
matey | unless theyre really the same thing (but of course, theyre not) | Jul 10 02:55 |

matey | that trick has a place. (this isnt it) | Jul 10 03:17 |
matey | ive used that trick many times, and it goes like this: | Jul 10 03:17 |
matey | 1. we can see whats happening NOW | Jul 10 03:17 |
matey | 2. but the public has an institutional inertia that keeps them seeing what HAPPENED for some time | Jul 10 03:18 |
matey | so you phrase things that are happening now as "will happen" | Jul 10 03:18 |
matey | to make them think about the PRESENT, despite the fact that their past NEGATES (overrides) any awareness of the present. | Jul 10 03:18 |
matey | moving it to the future (note: theres an entire genre that works this way-- called sci-fi) gives people a new way to look at whats happening. | Jul 10 03:19 |
matey | theres a famous quote about "the future is already here" that begs people to do this. | Jul 10 03:20 |
matey | its relevant | Jul 10 03:20 |
matey | but heres the thing | Jul 10 03:20 |
matey | when the fsf has been doing this for the better part of a decade | Jul 10 03:20 |
matey | or more than a decade | Jul 10 03:20 |
matey | its time to stop pretending thats off in the future | Jul 10 03:20 |
matey | it happened | Jul 10 03:20 |
matey | when it was really news, that was the time to say "warning, heres whats going to happen" | Jul 10 03:21 |

matey | Novell gave money to the FSF and yet the FSF immediately spoke out against Novell’s “deal”; but such conflicts of interest did occasionally cause trouble and, charting Linux Foundation territories/waters, this can lead to trouble. | Jul 10 03:21 |
matey | you almost admit it: | Jul 10 03:21 |
matey | " did occasionally cause trouble" | "can lead to trouble." | Jul 10 03:22 |
matey | but there it is: youre going backwards, from "here is a crisis" to "this COULD become a crisis" | Jul 10 03:22 |
matey | if you go in that direction, youre not warning people: youre admitting it then backpedalling | Jul 10 03:22 |
matey | youre downplaying. | Jul 10 03:22 |
schestowitz[TR] | not sure if fsf banished novell after that | Jul 10 03:23 |
schestowitz[TR] | see the wayback machine | Jul 10 03:23 |
schestowitz[TR] | fro 2007 | Jul 10 03:23 |
matey | politicians do it: admit the problem, then after admitting it, they sort of slowly back away from it | Jul 10 03:23 |
matey | this has to stop (i know it wont, just saying) if the real purpose is to warn the others. | Jul 10 03:23 |

matey | theres something wrong with it you cant fix | Jul 10 03:27 |
matey | the industry is in charge of who can cancel whom | Jul 10 03:27 |
matey | youre not on the list. | Jul 10 03:27 |
matey | you cant cancel anyone | Jul 10 03:27 |
matey | so if you report these scandals, its almost like (and uim being deliberately cynical here, which doesnt mean its untrue) | Jul 10 03:28 |
matey | "the evidence is inadmissible" | Jul 10 03:28 |
matey | if youre a cop and you break into someones home in the usa | Jul 10 03:28 |
matey | and you have no warrant | Jul 10 03:28 |
matey | theres a risk (it doesnt always work out this way of course) that the evidence will be ignored-- by constitutional law | Jul 10 03:28 |
matey | it can be literally right there on the table where the jury can see it | Jul 10 03:29 |
matey | theyre not allowed to take it into account | Jul 10 03:29 |
matey | because youre not on the list of people who can cancel people | Jul 10 03:29 |
matey | a list which naturally, doesnt exist in any concrete sense-- its arbitrary, but youre DEFINITELY not on it | Jul 10 03:29 |
matey | anything you say about these people is inadmissible | Jul 10 03:30 |
matey | it doesnt apply | Jul 10 03:30 |
matey | and more to the point, it wont be taken into account. | Jul 10 03:30 |
matey | of course some of us dont care about that | Jul 10 03:30 |
matey | but we are also the ones who are already anti-github so it doesnt sway us either. | Jul 10 03:30 |
matey | we dont go "well shit, now we REALLY hate github" | Jul 10 03:30 |
matey | it was already crap | Jul 10 03:30 |
matey | people are reading that story for entertainment purposes only. | Jul 10 03:31 |
matey | theyre not making decisions based on it | Jul 10 03:31 |
matey | because thats not how it works. | Jul 10 03:31 |
matey | of course you should publish it anyway, because you want to. | Jul 10 03:31 |
matey | what you shouldnt ever do is be surprised when it has no effect on github at all | Jul 10 03:32 |
matey | youre not on the list, it doesnt matter what you say about the people involved. | Jul 10 03:32 |
matey | you cant get on the list | Jul 10 03:32 |
matey | its invitation only | Jul 10 03:32 |
matey | you wont be invited-- youre not their type at all. | Jul 10 03:32 |
matey | quite the opposite | Jul 10 03:32 |

matey | but it wont change github. | Jul 10 03:33 |
matey | its the same with bill gates, only moreso | Jul 10 03:33 |
matey | someday this will change | Jul 10 03:34 |
matey | but not before the whole goddamned thing is overhauled | Jul 10 03:34 |
matey | which will happen | Jul 10 03:34 |
matey | bill gates can do whatever he pleases, calling him out just moves people from the list of those who can call people out to the list of those whose opinions are not admissible | Jul 10 03:35 |
matey | at least as far as media goes | Jul 10 03:36 |
matey | as far as industry goes | Jul 10 03:36 |

DaemonFC | <matey> he wrote a book with a title that implies adequate food is a human right? | Jul 10 06:19 |
DaemonFC | Most countries don't recognize water as a human right and it doesn't even actually cost much and you die in like 3 or 4 days without it. | Jul 10 06:20 |
DaemonFC | Why? Well, the Democrats don't want to say water is a human right. | Jul 10 06:20 |
DaemonFC | They keep jacking up the cost of water. It has nothing to do with the cost of providing water anymore. | Jul 10 06:20 |
DaemonFC | They just raise it every year so they can waste the money on themselves, the public union crooks digging up roads that have nothing wrong with them, and the teachers that keep putting out the dumbest adults ever. | Jul 10 06:21 |
DaemonFC | Roughly in that order. | Jul 10 06:21 |
DaemonFC | If the Democrats declare water to be a human right, it would obligate them to provide some water to people so they don't die of thirst. | Jul 10 06:21 |
DaemonFC | At one point, the Big Dig in Massachusetts became something you could point to if you needed to say how the Democrats were too corrupt and stupid to entrust a public works project to. | Jul 10 06:23 |

DaemonFC | The closest they come to "creating" anything is always a stolen product that gets them sued by someone. | Jul 10 13:27 |
DaemonFC | Then they settle it out of court. | Jul 10 13:27 |
DaemonFC | None of this is new. They were compared to the Borg even in the 90s. | Jul 10 13:28 |
DaemonFC | In Star Trek, the Borg assimilate people and technology. They don't invent things. They apparently can't even reproduce on their own. They stop assimilating and they die. | Jul 10 13:29 |
DaemonFC | That makes them a parasite. | Jul 10 13:29 |
DaemonFC | Ending entire civilizations to get new drones who will eventually all die. | Jul 10 13:29 |

DaemonFC | It sucks up whatever resources it can get. | Jul 10 13:30 |
DaemonFC | There are lots of costs of allowing Microsoft to operate this way. | Jul 10 13:31 |
DaemonFC | By destroying innovative companies and running them out of business, usually buying them out or badly cloning their products, the cost to society is much more than some stolen taxpayer money. | Jul 10 13:32 |
DaemonFC | It's the fact that Microsoft stopped innovative smaller companies from continuing to produce new things. | Jul 10 13:32 |
DaemonFC | It's like the cost to society of murdering someone is more than just "one person does not exist anymore". They orphan some kids, they don't go to work and make things that improves lives. All of their hopes and dreams are gone. | Jul 10 13:34 |
DaemonFC | Microsoft murders innovative companies. | Jul 10 13:34 |
DaemonFC | The only way to stop that is for regulators to wake up and stop them from buying up anything else. | Jul 10 13:35 |

psydruid | someone is arguing with me because I consider Dino the XMPP client typical GNOME bloatware and I said "Dino should go extinct" | Jul 10 15:38 |
bnchs | gajim looks like discord | Jul 10 15:39 |
psydruid | response: "Dino has a/v support for both linux and the windows fork. Which is something that gajim hasn't fully implemented yet. As well as gajim's a/v implementation is still unencrypted. Also groupcalls work on dino. And why do you think dino bloated eventhough it is almost as simplistic as it can get." | Jul 10 15:40 |
bnchs | profanity or psi is probably the only good XMPP client | Jul 10 15:40 |
bnchs | the problem is that those don't support enough features | Jul 10 15:40 |
psydruid | response: "They both have their pro's and con's but to say that dino is terrible and that it should go extinct is not really based on a well build argument." | Jul 10 15:40 |
psydruid | these people don't realize bloatware when it hits them in the face | Jul 10 15:41 |
MinceR | maybe they like bloatware | Jul 10 15:41 |
MinceR | i liked bitlbee, but even that couldn't fix xmpp's fake distributedness and unreliability | Jul 10 15:41 |
matey | <MinceR> maybe they like bloatware <- bloatware cant be (and never is) sustained | Jul 10 15:55 |
matey | bloatware is abandonware, shortly before being abandoned | Jul 10 15:55 |
matey | this is why gnu will fail | Jul 10 15:56 |
matey | bloat is relative of course-- people know that but they cant always articulate it | Jul 10 15:56 |
matey | once anything reaches a threshold where nearly anyone would prefer to write something else than fork it (even if they need it for something) | Jul 10 15:57 |
MinceR | humanity is also unsustainable | Jul 10 15:57 |
matey | anything past that is bloat, which isnt to say it cant exist prior to that point | Jul 10 15:57 |
matey | of course it doesnt have to be bloat, you have to rule out shit design too | Jul 10 15:58 |
matey | people will abandon a shit design whether its bloated or not | Jul 10 15:58 |
matey | corporations attack projects with bloat to sink them | Jul 10 15:58 |
matey | libreoffice is being destroyed as we speak | Jul 10 15:59 |
*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights | Jul 10 15:59 | |
matey | systemd destroyed countless distros | Jul 10 15:59 |
matey | bloat is a disease | Jul 10 15:59 |
matey | also a weaponised disease against free software | Jul 10 15:59 |
*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights | Jul 10 16:00 | |
matey | i was content to help people install-- and to myself use gnome 2 | Jul 10 16:00 |
matey | thats pretty bloated | Jul 10 16:00 |
matey | but it worked well enough on old stuff | Jul 10 16:00 |
matey | if you want faster, install lxde | Jul 10 16:01 |
matey | if you want instantaneous, use icewm | Jul 10 16:01 |
matey | but everything else got ridiculous-- lxde went on a qt adventure that left its future in question | Jul 10 16:01 |
matey | i dont like lxqt at all-- i tried razor-qt first then lxqt, waiting patiently (years) for it to not suck | Jul 10 16:02 |
matey | i dont even like xfce anymore, just because theyve done too many things that remind me why i dont like big des | Jul 10 16:02 |
matey | before you can use it you have to find all the stupid things it does and turn them off | Jul 10 16:03 |
matey | or uninstall components, delete binaries, whatever | Jul 10 16:03 |
matey | someone i know who codes in c kept having some crap pop up with xfce | Jul 10 16:04 |
matey | getting in their way | Jul 10 16:04 |
matey | we could have found it and fixed it | Jul 10 16:04 |
matey | we dont need shit like that, the gui doesnt need to be so fucking helpful | Jul 10 16:04 |
matey | the more it tries, the less helpful it is | Jul 10 16:04 |
matey | xfce is gnomes bitch anyway | Jul 10 16:05 |
matey | wasnt always, is now | Jul 10 16:05 |
matey | but before all this stuff went to hell, i had gotten tired of bothering with anything more than icewm | Jul 10 16:06 |
matey | sane defaults. works with everything. no resource hogging. only does stuff when you want it to. | Jul 10 16:06 |
matey | oh, github | Jul 10 16:06 |
matey | okay, dwm then. | Jul 10 16:06 |
matey | if someone forks icewm theyll probably add a bunch of annoying shit to it. | Jul 10 16:07 |
matey | no one wants to just maintain software | Jul 10 16:07 |
MinceR | does icewm need to be changed anymore? | Jul 10 16:07 |
matey | NO | Jul 10 16:07 |
matey | and if they do, they should call it something else | Jul 10 16:07 |
MinceR | then just keep a mirror/copy of it off shithub | Jul 10 16:08 |
matey | that works for individuals | Jul 10 16:08 |
matey | but its like what happened to kabbalah | Jul 10 16:08 |
MinceR | kabbalah is not useful, afaict | Jul 10 16:09 |
matey | regardless | Jul 10 16:09 |
matey | it used to be taught more casually | Jul 10 16:09 |
matey | in the 1600s a lot of people got swept up in it as a craze | Jul 10 16:09 |
matey | there were loads of false messiah movements | Jul 10 16:09 |
matey | so the rabbis banned teaching it to anyone except men who were over 40 | Jul 10 16:10 |
matey | and not long after it just disappeared | Jul 10 16:10 |
matey | kabbalah helps explain a number of jewish rituals | Jul 10 16:10 |
matey | without it, a lot of people just do things by rote, and dont know or care why | Jul 10 16:11 |
matey | doing things without knowing why other than "god said" is even less healthy than having a rich tapestry of symbolism behind "god said" | Jul 10 16:11 |
matey | it only becomes more rigid and pointless | Jul 10 16:12 |
matey | but the point of course, is that if icewm only exists on github and local mirrors | Jul 10 16:12 |
matey | that helps very few people-- it doesnt provide an alternative to the github version for most people | Jul 10 16:12 |
MinceR | was there ever a true messiah? | Jul 10 16:12 |
matey | not according to judaism | Jul 10 16:13 |
matey | but its not unfair to call a short-lived charlatan-led "movement" with little more to it than following the grateful dead on tour a "false messiah movement" | Jul 10 16:15 |
bnchs | wtf was the point of systemd | Jul 10 16:15 |
matey | giving ibm control of userspace | Jul 10 16:15 |
matey | microsoft controls the kernel | Jul 10 16:15 |
bnchs | here's the joke | Jul 10 16:16 |
matey | systemd is a cuckold operating system | Jul 10 16:16 |
bnchs | openrc existed before systemd | Jul 10 16:16 |
matey | mmhmm | Jul 10 16:16 |
bnchs | look at which init system is the most used now | Jul 10 16:16 |
matey | which is it | Jul 10 16:16 |
bnchs | i don't know | Jul 10 16:16 |
matey | i assume its systemd, at least in the gnu/linux world | Jul 10 16:17 |
matey | if you include bsd i dont know either | Jul 10 16:17 |
matey | probably systemd | Jul 10 16:17 |
matey | because there are more gnu/linux installs (unless there arent) | Jul 10 16:17 |
MinceR | it's probably the custom thing android comes with | Jul 10 16:17 |
matey | ^ yeah | Jul 10 16:17 |
matey | i bet we dont count that, just because | Jul 10 16:17 |
MinceR | which looks more like a scripting language than a service manager | Jul 10 16:17 |
matey | about zero people modify the setup | Jul 10 16:17 |
matey | which looks more like a scripting language <- lennart to the rescue! | Jul 10 16:18 |
matey | maybe he will go work for google now :) | Jul 10 16:18 |
MinceR | lol | Jul 10 16:18 |
MinceR | i guess eventually it would be the next logical step in ruining android | Jul 10 16:18 |
matey | i consider android 99% useless | Jul 10 16:19 |
psydruid | androidd | Jul 10 16:19 |
matey | im probably being generous | Jul 10 16:19 |
psydruid | android cuckold | Jul 10 16:19 |
matey | its worth noting that the more they integrate shit into systemd | Jul 10 16:19 |
matey | the more it looks like android | Jul 10 16:19 |
MinceR | it's still not as bad as systemd/Linux | Jul 10 16:19 |
matey | no i think android is worse, believe it or not | Jul 10 16:20 |
MinceR | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | Jul 10 16:20 |
MinceR | android is still closer to unix than systemd ever was | Jul 10 16:20 |
matey | its just that systemd is completely unacceptable | Jul 10 16:20 |
matey | and android is even worse than that | Jul 10 16:20 |
matey | <MinceR> android is still closer to unix than systemd ever was <- not in any way that means anything to me as a user though | Jul 10 16:20 |
matey | its all locked down | Jul 10 16:21 |
matey | flatpak is an android simulator | Jul 10 16:21 |
matey | not for apps, i mean it simulates the design | Jul 10 16:21 |
matey | locked down, blob-based | Jul 10 16:21 |
matey | you delete something windows wants to keep, it restores it-- fuck you | Jul 10 16:22 |
matey | flatpak and android take similar attitudes towards the owner of the device | Jul 10 16:22 |
matey | but slightly different approaches | Jul 10 16:22 |
MinceR | AOSP is less locked down and it's still android | Jul 10 16:23 |
matey | yeah | Jul 10 16:23 |
matey | the design still sucks though | Jul 10 16:23 |
MinceR | and the design of systemd sucks harder | Jul 10 16:24 |
matey | thats probably true | Jul 10 16:24 |
matey | but my point was | Jul 10 16:24 |
matey | the more systemd takes over, the more android-like it becomes | Jul 10 16:24 |
matey | and that says a lot about both imo | Jul 10 16:25 |
matey | im certain that by the time systemd becomes ibm android | Jul 10 16:25 |
matey | it will be even shittier than google android | Jul 10 16:25 |
matey | i dont think the people who designed android were idiots | Jul 10 16:26 |
matey | i seem to recall that like youtube, google didnt develop android originally-- purchased? | Jul 10 16:26 |
matey | the people who designed systemd are idiots. | Jul 10 16:26 |

MinceR | it's tending more toward windows and macos than toward android | Jul 10 16:26 |
MinceR | and yes, google bought the android corporation | Jul 10 16:27 |
MinceR | and google used to make things that worked | Jul 10 16:27 |
matey | thats true | Jul 10 16:27 |
MinceR | even their search engine used to work | Jul 10 16:27 |
matey | heh | Jul 10 16:27 |
matey | it's tending more toward windows and macos than toward android <- imo its taking the worst of everything | Jul 10 16:27 |
MinceR | it's still less shit than bìng, but that's a far lower bar than "works" | Jul 10 16:28 |
matey | and plopping it together | Jul 10 16:28 |
matey | it's still less shit than bìn <- i dont even know how to quantify them anymore | Jul 10 16:28 |

matey | when i use a search engine i expect shit | Jul 10 16:28 |
matey | i get shit | Jul 10 16:28 |
MinceR | :> | Jul 10 16:28 |
matey | you have to trick it into telling you something useful | Jul 10 16:28 |
matey | its an art | Jul 10 16:29 |
matey | when youre dealing with a search engine, its sort of like when youre a kid and youre trying to weasel something out of your parents | Jul 10 16:29 |
matey | if you do it just right and try for long enough it might work | Jul 10 16:30 |
matey | in fairness to search engines though | Jul 10 16:32 |
matey | the web used to be less of a giant pile of shit | Jul 10 16:32 |
matey | so you know, it IS more work than ever before to find those lovely kernels of corn | Jul 10 16:32 |
matey | im not saying that corruption and bullshit algorithms dont play a major role | Jul 10 16:33 |
matey | these factors work together to create a truly bullshit web | Jul 10 16:33 |
matey | to the point where precursors to the web may be slated to become more popular again | Jul 10 16:34 |
matey | i mean thats what gemini is, really (but not literally) | Jul 10 16:35 |
matey | irc predates the web too | Jul 10 16:35 |
matey | will the bbs come back too :) | Jul 10 16:35 |
matey | i used bbs VERY sparingly | Jul 10 16:36 |
matey | i was really only interested in utilities and a few games | Jul 10 16:36 |
matey | (all the ones i got were legal, funnily enough) | Jul 10 16:36 |
MinceR | no diskmags for you? :> | Jul 10 16:36 |
matey | i got diskmags from school | Jul 10 16:36 |
matey | im not saying that every copy of everything in my computer was legal back when it was under non-free licenses | Jul 10 16:37 |
matey | what i am saying is i never really got into warez | Jul 10 16:37 |
matey | id copy some things, but i didnt tend to download illegally | Jul 10 16:38 |

*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights | Jul 10 16:38 | |
matey | i think warez attracts two groups of people | Jul 10 16:39 |
matey | 1. people who do it because fuck the system / information wants to be free / im cool because i removed copy protection scheme | Jul 10 16:39 |
matey | 2. people who have an insatiable appetite for new stuff to play | Jul 10 16:40 |
MinceR | 3. people who can't afford to pay for software licenses | Jul 10 16:40 |
matey | sure, thats fair | Jul 10 16:40 |
matey | but for the few things i needed that i couldnt afford | Jul 10 16:40 |
MinceR | 4. people who can afford to pay but have no access to the payment method (though this is probably less of a thing now) | Jul 10 16:41 |
matey | i just copied that (without a network) from something i borroed | Jul 10 16:41 |
matey | so like i had one copy of windows... | Jul 10 16:41 |
matey | and one key | Jul 10 16:42 |
matey | i would actually obtain new (legit) keys about as often as i would use my install media | Jul 10 16:42 |
matey | i wasnt trying to, it just happened | Jul 10 16:42 |
matey | i wasnt really interested in microsoft office | Jul 10 16:43 |
matey | until mozilla became a thing, i would install netscape from a cd that i got from my isp | Jul 10 16:44 |
matey | i had dialup, so i didnt want to download it | Jul 10 16:44 |
matey | by the time i knew what free/open was, i mostly wanted stuff that was free to copy, at the very lease | Jul 10 16:46 |
matey | least | Jul 10 16:46 |
matey | because i liked the idea of software you could legally share | Jul 10 16:46 |
matey | so even though i was using windows still, i was replacing every tiny bit of it i could with something non-microsoft | Jul 10 16:47 |
matey | the shell, the browser, the file manager, i called the internet dialer from the command line tool that sys-internals made | Jul 10 16:48 |
matey | as much of it as possible was non-microsoft | Jul 10 16:48 |
matey | thanks to fucking github im doing it again in 2020-something | Jul 10 16:48 |
matey | and yes, sys-internals got bought by microsoft | Jul 10 16:49 |
matey | just like the linux kernel | Jul 10 16:50 |
matey | ill be thrilled when these companies finally die, but it wont be half as soon as roy says | Jul 10 16:50 |
matey | or has said | Jul 10 16:51 |
matey | if i wanted microsoft to control my computing, id just use windows | Jul 10 16:51 |

matey | local mirrors are definitely a good first step away from github | Jul 10 18:12 |
matey | ideally they would also be mirrored somewhere public so more people benefit | Jul 10 18:13 |
MinceR | if i had infinite storage and bandwidth, i'd set up an automatic shithub mirroring service | Jul 10 18:13 |
matey | even if you mirrored the few things you actually gave a shit about | Jul 10 18:13 |
matey | and more people did that, it would be huge | Jul 10 18:14 |
matey | imo the best way (certainly not the only way) to do a mirror is via tor hidden service | Jul 10 18:14 |
matey | its easy to setup, ssl is built in, no lf/le certs, no dns monopolies | Jul 10 18:15 |
matey | drawbacks of tor are obvious | Jul 10 18:15 |
matey | and its certainly not the only way. but it works around a BUNCH of issues with hosting | Jul 10 18:16 |
matey | as for the fugly urls... i mean theyre a feature | Jul 10 18:16 |
*bnchs has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Jul 10 18:17 | |
matey | tor is one of the few traitorous projects i get behind (under protest of course) | Jul 10 18:17 |
matey | i also recommend people keep using gnupg :/ | Jul 10 18:18 |
matey | i like tor a lot more | Jul 10 18:18 |
matey | i see tor as the most legit alternative to mozilla, along several axes | Jul 10 18:18 |
matey | but a fork of tor would be better, and the browser is optional | Jul 10 18:19 |
matey | tor at least has their own repo, so tor browser isnt technically github based | Jul 10 18:19 |
matey | but obviously the language its written in (like most) would be github based | Jul 10 18:19 |
MinceR | what about i2p and gnunet | Jul 10 18:19 |
matey | gnunet i have no faith in because its gnu and because theyre trying to square a circle in typical this-will-never-be-ready-ever fashion | Jul 10 18:20 |
matey | but if i have to eat those words i would be more than happy to do so | Jul 10 18:20 |
matey | in 2045 | Jul 10 18:20 |
matey | i think its fun to see it race against reactos | Jul 10 18:21 |
matey | but really, this is hopefully one im wrong about | Jul 10 18:21 |
matey | if i thought i was wrong id say so, but either way, that would be lovely | Jul 10 18:21 |
MinceR | :> | Jul 10 18:21 |
matey | i2p im not going to switch to because its github based | Jul 10 18:21 |
matey | im wrong, arent i, wait... *checks* | Jul 10 18:22 |

schestowitz[TR] | but that limits what they can achieve | Jul 10 18:26 |
matey | i just apply a LOT of filters. | Jul 10 18:26 |
schestowitz[TR] | thanks | Jul 10 18:26 |
schestowitz[TR] | that's the intention | Jul 10 18:27 |

schestowitz[TR] | not just loweing the load tenfold for Ariadne to not worry about i/o but also adding features | Jul 10 18:27 |
matey | then you filter out most of it | Jul 10 18:27 |
matey | then you do whatever it is you do to it | Jul 10 18:27 |
schestowitz[TR] | the news cycles on www are dying | Jul 10 18:27 |
matey | then i try to undo some of that | Jul 10 18:27 |

DaemonFC | A bird flew in front of the car, swooped down and I felt it in the steering wheel when I hit it going about 40 or 45 miles per hour. | Jul 10 21:41 |
DaemonFC | It felt like it bounced off the bumper or something, but it may have gone under the car. | Jul 10 21:41 |
DaemonFC | I went to the car wash in case there were bird bits or something stuck in the wheel well somewhere that I couldn't see. | Jul 10 21:42 |
DaemonFC | The thing was fucking huge. | Jul 10 21:42 |
DaemonFC | I ran it back on my dashcam and it captured the strike. | Jul 10 21:43 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz[TR], Reminds me of Married With Children. | Jul 10 21:43 |
DaemonFC | Remember when Steve had to drive his Mercedes through Grant Park to get away from a road rage incident and he hit a bunch of pigeons? | Jul 10 21:44 |
DaemonFC | They got stuck in his radiator grill and roasted to death on it. | Jul 10 21:44 |
DaemonFC | Al says "Bud!" and he's got a bucket and tongs and says "Already on it, dad! Just call me the Colonel!". | Jul 10 21:44 |
DaemonFC | You had to watch through the series to notice that something bad was always happening to Steve's Mercedes. | Jul 10 21:45 |
DaemonFC | Just off the top of my head there were the pigeons, Al backing into it and leaving a note "Next time buy an American car!", Marcy driving it in defiance of Steve telling her to leave her hands off of it, and scraping the side on the mailbox (iirc), and finally, they go camping and a bear attacks it and rips it apart and tosses Steve the hood ornament, and he's in shock going "$26,000!!!!". (Which bought a Mercedes in 1985, of course. Now you | Jul 10 21:47 |
DaemonFC | can barely get a KIA for that.) | Jul 10 21:47 |
DaemonFC | The US government says the value of $1 when I was born in 1984 is now something like 42 cents. Something like that. Which doesn't sound so bad. | Jul 10 21:48 |
schestowitz[TR] | hi | Jul 10 21:49 |
DaemonFC | Until you consider that if you adjust it for rent, it's about 19 cents. If you adjust it for food, it's about 24 cents, and if you adjust it for a comparable size, brand, and quality of car, it's about 25 cents or so. | Jul 10 21:49 |
DaemonFC | If you adjust it for gas, you're at about 16 cents. | Jul 10 21:50 |

DaemonFC | About the only things that have gone down in actual or inflation adjusted terms are consumer crap that you really don't need, such as television sets, or things that people don't want anymore and can't command the price they had as a luxury item, like a stereo system and the CDs it can play. | Jul 10 21:53 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz[TR], Sweatshops. | Jul 10 21:57 |
DaemonFC | The people who voted for Ross Perot were really onto something. | Jul 10 21:57 |
DaemonFC | Shame he didn't win. | Jul 10 21:58 |
DaemonFC | I think he really would have terminated NAFTA before things could ever get this bad. | Jul 10 21:58 |
DaemonFC | We already had the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement, and that didn't turn us into a "free trade zone" with a third world country where the money would flow in one direction and sweatshop goods would pour back in. | Jul 10 21:59 |
DaemonFC | When you throw in Mexico, I mean... It didn't make Mexico much better. | Jul 10 22:00 |
DaemonFC | There's a few really rich Mexicans that run the sweatshops. | Jul 10 22:00 |
DaemonFC | Some got bad jobs in factories. It ruined Mexico's agriculture and banking sectors. | Jul 10 22:00 |
DaemonFC | The US banks and corn and stuff started flowing in, which made the drug problem worse. | Jul 10 22:00 |
DaemonFC | Without food crops to grow legitimately to meet domestic needs, the farmers in Mexico turned to things like Marijuana. | Jul 10 22:01 |
DaemonFC | The government in Mexico is too weak and corrupt to deal with the drug trade. At the local level, the cartels run everything. They're so well armed that the military can't even move in and restore law and order. | Jul 10 22:02 |
DaemonFC | So it's at a standstill, and by standstill, that means ongoing bloodbath. | Jul 10 22:02 |
schestowitz[TR] | brb | Jul 10 22:03 |
schestowitz[TR] | DaemonFC: you highlight me with walls of text | Jul 10 22:03 |
schestowitz[TR] | anb it seems off-topic anyway | Jul 10 22:03 |
DaemonFC | The "Free Trade Agreements" benefit Microsoft, GAFAM really. | Jul 10 22:03 |
schestowitz[TR] | yeah | Jul 10 22:04 |
schestowitz[TR] | not just fake "tech" companues | Jul 10 22:04 |
schestowitz[TR] | pantagonware | Jul 10 22:04 |
schestowitz[TR] | but other sectors too | Jul 10 22:04 |
DaemonFC | It makes it hard to establish domestic tech and software industries because you agree to the deals, you agree to the patents. | Jul 10 22:04 |
schestowitz[TR] | it's just codifying what ensures the rich get richer | Jul 10 22:04 |
schestowitz[TR] | they don't need to "succeed" | Jul 10 22:04 |
schestowitz[TR] | they just rig the game | Jul 10 22:04 |
schestowitz[TR] | they control everytthing | Jul 10 22:04 |
schestowitz[TR] | even the elections | Jul 10 22:04 |
DaemonFC | These deals have created a perverse bizarro world where most Americans have a third world standard of living while everyone else hates us because they assume we can seize control via an election or something and put the train back on the tracks. | Jul 10 22:05 |
DaemonFC | Saying you hate Americans is like saying you hate Russians, blanket statement. | Jul 10 22:05 |
DaemonFC | Most of them couldn't get rid of Putin if they wanted to. | Jul 10 22:06 |
DaemonFC | The ones that could have been bought off so that they don't want to. | Jul 10 22:06 |
schestowitz[TR] | USians are sometimes distrusted because of perceievd arrogance | Jul 10 22:07 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz[TR], I'm writing an article about Walmart and canned meat shortages. | Jul 10 22:08 |
DaemonFC | How they use the websites and apps to control people, hide shortage issues until you try to order something, and charge more if you go into their store. | Jul 10 22:08 |
DaemonFC | <schestowitz[TR]> USians are sometimes distrusted because of perceievd arrogance | Jul 10 22:09 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm any more or less arrogant than the average person I've encountered in Western Europe. | Jul 10 22:09 |
DaemonFC | Most of them think their country that has had the shit taxed out of it while they stand in 6 year lines to get surgery from "free healthcare" and they're overrun by crime is the pinnacle of civilization. | Jul 10 22:10 |
DaemonFC | I'm on here every day saying I hate Illinois. | Jul 10 22:10 |
schestowitz[TR] | IL | Jul 10 22:10 |
schestowitz[TR] | they should add a second L | Jul 10 22:10 |
DaemonFC | Well, it's a postal thing you know, like IN for Indiana, WI for Wisconsin, IA for Iowa. | Jul 10 22:11 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz[TR], The funny thing is when we do our taxes and either owe or get a refund from the Illinois Department of Revenue.... | Jul 10 22:12 |
DaemonFC | The bank says "State of ILL". | Jul 10 22:12 |
DaemonFC | On the statement it says "State of ILL" and then the amount going out or coming in. | Jul 10 22:12 |
schestowitz[TR] | ouch | Jul 10 22:12 |
schestowitz[TR] | "give me your ill" | Jul 10 22:13 |
DaemonFC | It's a very ILL state. | Jul 10 22:13 |
*swaggboi has quit (Read error: Connection timed out) | Jul 10 22:13 | |
DaemonFC | The rest of the state isn't much like Chicago at all, but it has too much political power, and most of the people there forget about the rest of the state entirely. | Jul 10 22:14 |
DaemonFC | It's dysfunctional. | Jul 10 22:14 |
*swaggboi (~swaggboi@slackware.uk/supporter/swaggboi) has joined #techrights | Jul 10 22:14 | |
DaemonFC | It's like most states, you know. There's almost half the population that has no representation at all and can only complain about how fucked up everyone else made things. | Jul 10 22:14 |
DaemonFC | Most of the laws here are botched attempts to solve some ridiculous problem Chicago is having. | Jul 10 22:15 |
DaemonFC | Like the FOID Act, which didn't help anyone in Highland Park. 70-80 people shot every day in Chicago itself. | Jul 10 22:15 |
DaemonFC | <schestowitz[TR]> "give me your ill" | Jul 10 22:15 |
DaemonFC | The state is being taken over by immigrants who don't realize that the place is messed up and corrupt as fuck because they're from somewhere much worse so they don't see what the problem is. | Jul 10 22:16 |
DaemonFC | Like the Philippines. | Jul 10 22:16 |
DaemonFC | Say what you want about Pritzker, he's a damned sight better than bongbong. | Jul 10 22:17 |
*betsy (~igloo@d9tvs44uyg5y6.irc) has joined #techrights | Jul 10 22:17 | |
DaemonFC | schestowitz[TR], I put in a couple of orders for canned luncheon meat at Walmart to wipe out the shelf of the store brand for Less Sodium and LITE. | Jul 10 22:18 |
DaemonFC | They're starting to have severe in stock problems. | Jul 10 22:18 |
DaemonFC | So I'm just going to buy all I can get of it when it is there and put it under the bed. No it's not a Madame Harmon thing. It stays good for 10 years and we eat quite a bit of it. | Jul 10 22:18 |
DaemonFC | They raised the price of the name brand significantly, but not the store brand oddly enough. So there used to be a relatively small difference, and now it's huge. | Jul 10 22:19 |
DaemonFC | $1.98 a can vs. $3.12, and now the name brand is $3.58 a can. | Jul 10 22:20 |
DaemonFC | They turned something we used to laugh at into something that's actually really really expensive. | Jul 10 22:20 |
DaemonFC | You used to look at SPAM as "thrifty" right? Because it was an example of industrial-scale problem solving for the agricultural industry. We'd pass out millions and millions of cans of it to prevent people from starving. | Jul 10 22:21 |
*betsy has quit (connection closed) | Jul 10 22:21 | |
DaemonFC | Just the way it's processed, it says "Use by 2033" or something on the can and to be honest if you store it right, it's probably safe for at least a couple more years after that. | Jul 10 22:22 |
schestowitz[TR] | 2033? | Jul 10 22:22 |
DaemonFC | YEAH! | Jul 10 22:22 |
schestowitz[TR] | might indicate they put nasty things in them | Jul 10 22:22 |
DaemonFC | It's really not. | Jul 10 22:22 |
schestowitz[TR] | like intesticides [sic] | Jul 10 22:22 |
DaemonFC | It's basically ham and pork. They salt it and then vacuum seal the can and cook it inside the can. | Jul 10 22:22 |
*betsy (~igloo@d9tvs44uyg5y6.irc) has joined #techrights | Jul 10 22:22 | |
schestowitz[TR] | a lot of that food as chemicals bad for the gut | Jul 10 22:23 |
DaemonFC | It's completely sterile inside the can and then there's salt, so yeah. | Jul 10 22:23 |
schestowitz[TR] | I only leanred after I had had canned food for ages | Jul 10 22:23 |
DaemonFC | It's pretty simple stuff that stays good indefinitely. | Jul 10 22:23 |
schestowitz[TR] | I forgot the key component in preservatives, not salt | Jul 10 22:23 |
DaemonFC | Like if you absolutely HAD to, you could probably crack open a can of SPAM and eat it 20 or 25 years from now. | Jul 10 22:23 |
DaemonFC | More, even. Nobody really knows. | Jul 10 22:24 |
*betsy has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) | Jul 10 22:24 | |
DaemonFC | It's not like food preservation like this is new. There's a guy on YouTube that eats old military rations that were packed for World War II and stuff. | Jul 10 22:24 |
DaemonFC | Including the meat. | Jul 10 22:24 |
DaemonFC | He unpacked some vacuum packed cigarettes in a tin can that were part of a British military ration from World War II and smoked them. | Jul 10 22:25 |
DaemonFC | They were still fine. | Jul 10 22:25 |

DaemonFC | Even like 30 years ago, there'd be men in the hot tub smoking a cigar, and the hot tub would be indoors, and nobody said anything about it. | Jul 10 22:27 |
DaemonFC | Today, you can't do that even if it's an outdoor hot tub. | Jul 10 22:27 |
DaemonFC | We used to go on vacation to the Adam's Mark Hotel in Indianapolis, and stay there for like a week, and they hosted a science fiction convention dad would go to. | Jul 10 22:28 |
DaemonFC | The hotel was really so classy that I can't imagine how they got a sci-fi convention there where a bunch of weirdos showed up. | Jul 10 22:28 |
DaemonFC | They got kicked out of the hotel a few times. | Jul 10 22:29 |
DaemonFC | Weird stuff would go on, like one year a woman was having sex with a bunch of men in the hot tub. | Jul 10 22:29 |
DaemonFC | Eventually, they just told the convention it would be the last year they were allowed to book the hotel. | Jul 10 22:30 |
DaemonFC | But the entire hotel chain went under eventually. | Jul 10 22:30 |
