schestowitz | which address? | Mar 11 06:50 |
vmg3 | schestowitz: the whole lot, when I posted that it was all down from my end | Mar 11 06:53 |
schestowitz | I mean, | Mar 11 06:53 |
vmg3 | techrights | Mar 11 06:53 |
schestowitz | I was checking au.techrights.org | Mar 11 06:53 |
vmg3 | ok i'm still under attack | Mar 11 06:54 |
vmg3 | reading up on iptables and tc | Mar 11 06:54 |
*GNUmoon (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) has joined #techrights | Mar 11 06:55 | |
vmg3 | never played with it, but seems to have some good features | Mar 11 06:56 |
vmg3 | always just relied on router | Mar 11 06:56 |
vmg3 | off/low/high | Mar 11 06:56 |
Ariadne | iptables is awful | Mar 11 06:57 |
vmg3 | don't say that | Mar 11 06:58 |
Ariadne | why? it is objectively true | Mar 11 06:58 |
Ariadne | netfilter team made nftables as a replacement because iptables is really that bad | Mar 11 06:58 |
schestowitz | true | Mar 11 06:58 |
schestowitz | we thought about nftables | Mar 11 06:58 |
schestowitz | but this OS comes with iptables | Mar 11 06:59 |
Ariadne | which OS? | Mar 11 06:59 |
Ariadne | alpine has both | Mar 11 06:59 |
schestowitz | Debian | Mar 11 06:59 |
vmg3 | I have to study more at my age its hard to grasp and hold | Mar 11 06:59 |
Ariadne | debian also have both | Mar 11 06:59 |
Ariadne | `apt install nftables` | Mar 11 06:59 |
vmg3 | ok its used with tc? | Mar 11 07:00 |
vmg3 | thats where most of my playing has been | Mar 11 07:00 |
Ariadne | can be yeah | Mar 11 07:03 |
vmg3 | ok thanks | Mar 11 07:04 |
Ariadne | anyway if you're trying to learn linux networking skills, focus on nftables, it's the future | Mar 11 07:04 |
Ariadne | iptables is the past | Mar 11 07:04 |
vmg3 | cool, keeps me on my toes | Mar 11 07:04 |
Ariadne | also look at VPP project if you want to learn some stuff that can land you a HPC gig | Mar 11 07:05 |
Ariadne | https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/What_is_VPP%3F | Mar 11 07:06 |
Ariadne | really cool stuff | Mar 11 07:06 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-wiki.fd.io | VPP/What is VPP? - fd.io | Mar 11 07:06 | |
vmg3 | oh I break things, most of this is way out of my league | Mar 11 07:06 |
Ariadne | i have VPP packaged for alpine, we were able to route 150gbps of traffic on an alpine box with VPP and a pair of 400gbe cards | Mar 11 07:07 |
Ariadne | really neat | Mar 11 07:07 |
schestowitz | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvaeXgfs-ks | Mar 11 07:08 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-I See So Much Negativity In The World - YouTube | Mar 11 07:08 | |
vmg3 | wow, you're a pro. you all should'nt waste to much time on me, honestly | Mar 11 07:09 |
vmg3 | I'm just driven by a bit of curiosity | Mar 11 07:09 |
Ariadne | curiosity is good | Mar 11 07:09 |
vmg3 | it gets me into a lot of trouble | Mar 11 07:10 |
Ariadne | the real way of preserving software freedom is by inspiring more curiosity | Mar 11 07:10 |
vmg3 | In awe of most of the conversation here | Mar 11 07:10 |
Ariadne | there's conversation here worth being in awe of? | Mar 11 07:11 |
vmg3 | for a person at my level yeah | Mar 11 07:11 |
vmg3 | I've been using linux for a few years and that leads to more curiosity | Mar 11 07:12 |
Ariadne | there's better places to lurk, but i am sure you'll find them in your own time ^_^ | Mar 11 07:12 |
vmg3 | I've learnt a bit in a short time | Mar 11 07:13 |
Ariadne | and from a purely academic POV, linux is not the only thing to investigate | Mar 11 07:13 |
Ariadne | you should look at the BSD kernels, and there are even things to learn from the NT model via ReactOS | Mar 11 07:14 |
vmg3 | for sure | Mar 11 07:14 |
vmg3 | I play, most people here are in the industry just tid bits keep me going | Mar 11 07:15 |
schestowitz | linux is, atm, where most OSes are | Mar 11 07:15 |
schestowitz | RHEL, Android... | Mar 11 07:15 |
schestowitz | that might change in the future | Mar 11 07:15 |
schestowitz | the concepts matter more than brands | Mar 11 07:15 |
vmg3 | it all just controls hardware | Mar 11 07:15 |
Ariadne | linux is the new industrial unix | Mar 11 07:15 |
schestowitz | LF makes Linux almost synonymous with "MONOPOLIES", but this process takes time and many people haven't come to acceptance with it | Mar 11 07:16 |
Ariadne | LF is the new AT&T | Mar 11 07:16 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: except unix didn't do "mobile phones" | Mar 11 07:16 |
Ariadne | of course not | Mar 11 07:16 |
schestowitz | or "Aye Oh Tea" | Mar 11 07:16 |
Ariadne | but those things did not exist in the 80s ;) | Mar 11 07:16 |
schestowitz | fewer computers existed | Mar 11 07:17 |
Ariadne | i mean, they did, but it was quite rudementary | Mar 11 07:17 |
vmg3 | retro | Mar 11 07:17 |
schestowitz | power-efficient sometimes | Mar 11 07:17 |
schestowitz | like 1990s phones | Mar 11 07:17 |
Ariadne | back then you got to listen to people's phone calls with a police scanner | Mar 11 07:17 |
schestowitz | no "apps" and "push notifications" | Mar 11 07:17 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: if they used cordless | Mar 11 07:18 |
schestowitz | then you could use walkie talkie | Mar 11 07:18 |
Ariadne | also if they used cellular | Mar 11 07:18 |
schestowitz | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkie-talkie | Mar 11 07:18 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Walkie-talkie - Wikipedia | Mar 11 07:18 | |
Ariadne | yeah i had a few when i grew up :P | Mar 11 07:18 |
schestowitz | sometimes if you stood next to power poles you could pick better signal | Mar 11 07:18 |
vmg3 | king of the hill | Mar 11 07:18 |
schestowitz | what do "kids" do these days for fun? | Mar 11 07:19 |
schestowitz | I guess tiktok something | Mar 11 07:19 |
Ariadne | that and fortnite | Mar 11 07:19 |
schestowitz | I never met a tiktok user (that I know of) | Mar 11 07:19 |
schestowitz | but apparently many people use tiktok | Mar 11 07:19 |
Ariadne | children do | Mar 11 07:19 |
schestowitz | tiko-talkie | Mar 11 07:19 |
vmg3 | doom shareware on single floppy was my "hey yeah" moment | Mar 11 07:19 |
schestowitz | I played LOADS of doom | Mar 11 07:20 |
schestowitz | and doom2 | Mar 11 07:20 |
schestowitz | fond memories... | Mar 11 07:20 |
schestowitz | it was quite cutting-edge back then | Mar 11 07:20 |
vmg3 | yeah some of the only software i ever paid for | Mar 11 07:20 |
schestowitz | not much innovation in games since then | Mar 11 07:20 |
schestowitz | just more polygon soups | Mar 11 07:20 |
vmg3 | UT taught me how to write a script | Mar 11 07:20 |
schestowitz | now that push real-time ray-tracing | Mar 11 07:21 |
schestowitz | which doesn't even look good | Mar 11 07:21 |
schestowitz | RT only looks good if you give it loads of time | Mar 11 07:21 |
schestowitz | and intricate surfaces, canculations | Mar 11 07:21 |
vmg3 | I dont play games anymore, no enjoyment | Mar 11 07:21 |
schestowitz | the calculation of fine-drained stuff like the angle of each side of a chair | Mar 11 07:21 |
schestowitz | it's mostly gimmicks now | Mar 11 07:22 |
schestowitz | "blow things up" | Mar 11 07:22 |
schestowitz | "more polygons" | Mar 11 07:22 |
schestowitz | "new weapons" | Mar 11 07:22 |
vmg3 | part of the upgrade pc game | Mar 11 07:22 |
schestowitz | Enemy Territory was fun | Mar 11 07:22 |
schestowitz | but hardly innovative | Mar 11 07:22 |
schestowitz | like Wolfenstein modernised | Mar 11 07:22 |
schestowitz | so in 15 years we went from pacman to wolfenstein | Mar 11 07:23 |
schestowitz | the next 15 years? nothing.. | Mar 11 07:23 |
Ariadne | so i am considering accepting an offer for a research position from a certain software company schestowitz hates | Mar 11 07:23 |
vmg3 | most is on steam, The last thing I played was war thunder | Mar 11 07:23 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: probably not hate so much | Mar 11 07:23 |
schestowitz | if it's not Microsoft | Mar 11 07:23 |
schestowitz | Intel, IBM etc. | Mar 11 07:23 |
Ariadne | haha no comment :D | Mar 11 07:23 |
schestowitz | VMware... not the end of the world | Mar 11 07:23 |
Ariadne | well, eating is nice | Mar 11 07:24 |
vmg3 | and sleeping | Mar 11 07:24 |
schestowitz | but it's not Microsoft, right? | Mar 11 07:24 |
Ariadne | it might be | Mar 11 07:24 |
schestowitz | because they can exert pressure to cause censorship | Mar 11 07:25 |
schestowitz | they tried this on us before | Mar 11 07:25 |
schestowitz | salaries are slush funds to them | Mar 11 07:25 |
schestowitz | if their true wish is muzzling their critics | Mar 11 07:25 |
schestowitz | Also, Microsoft doesn't do research | Mar 11 07:25 |
schestowitz | it's a marketing stunt | Mar 11 07:26 |
vmg3 | seems they are being muzzled now | Mar 11 07:26 |
schestowitz | for tax breaks, too | Mar 11 07:26 |
Ariadne | they do have an R&D subsidiary | Mar 11 07:26 |
schestowitz | yes, tax scam | Mar 11 07:26 |
schestowitz | other companies do the same | Mar 11 07:26 |
schestowitz | they also make 'local' subsidiaries | Mar 11 07:26 |
schestowitz | to get to pretend to be worthy of access to data and stuff | Mar 11 07:26 |
vmg3 | thier tenticals spread far, but mostly for $ | Mar 11 07:26 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: if it's Microsoft, tell them no | Mar 11 07:26 |
schestowitz | it's a classic modus | Mar 11 07:26 |
schestowitz | they look for ways to undermine critics | Mar 11 07:27 |
schestowitz | and then allocate money to the muzzling | Mar 11 07:27 |
Ariadne | my heart wants to, but my bank account says something else | Mar 11 07:27 |
schestowitz | They did this to raspi this yeat | Mar 11 07:27 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: they're not in it for the tech | Mar 11 07:27 |
schestowitz | but for the censorship | Mar 11 07:27 |
schestowitz | it's an old modus | Mar 11 07:27 |
schestowitz | and you can work elsewhere | Mar 11 07:27 |
schestowitz | even if for less | Mar 11 07:27 |
Ariadne | easy for you to say :D | Mar 11 07:27 |
schestowitz | they're not in it for anything other than control and that means muzzling critics | Mar 11 07:28 |
vmg3 | control is another issue | Mar 11 07:28 |
schestowitz | they tried it on our company also | Mar 11 07:28 |
schestowitz | boss pushed back | Mar 11 07:28 |
Ariadne | well, i have other possibilities | Mar 11 07:28 |
Ariadne | i am still thinking about what to do | Mar 11 07:28 |
vmg3 | governments to, they lap it up | Mar 11 07:28 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: go for the other option | Mar 11 07:28 |
schestowitz | I can tell you on the record stuff Microsoft tried to kill techrights | Mar 11 07:29 |
schestowitz | or to cause me to lose the site/job | Mar 11 07:29 |
Ariadne | the team i used to work for got absorbed into IBM and SAP | Mar 11 07:29 |
schestowitz | it's no secret you host techrights | Mar 11 07:29 |
schestowitz | they know you do | Mar 11 07:29 |

vmg3 | the things that all big organisations do behind closed doors to, to protect their image rather than deliver goods it's all coming to the fore now | Mar 11 07:31 |
Ariadne | yes, they are well aware that i am one of the principle owners of the entity that controls AS398493, which hosts techrights | Mar 11 07:31 |
schestowitz | Microsoft: we cannot sue this guy | Mar 11 07:31 |

Ariadne | microsoft is so strange | Mar 11 07:31 |
schestowitz | "[Disclosure/Historical footnote: Those with long memories might suggest a parallel between Rick’s position and mine when in 1997, I was sitting on the XML Working Group and co-editing the spec, on a pro bono basis as an indie consultant. Netscape hired me to represent their interests, and when I announced this, controversy ensued. Which is a nice way of saying that Microsoft went berserk; tried unsuccessfully to get me fired as co- | Mar 11 07:31 |
schestowitz | editor, and then launched a vicious, deeply personal extended attack in which they tried to destroy my career and took lethal action against a small struggling company because my wife worked there. It was a sideshow of a sideshow of the great campaign to bury Netscape and I’m sure the executives have forgotten; but I haven’t. Anyhow, I thought I had to point that out first before somebody else dredged it up, but I totally don’t | Mar 11 07:31 |
schestowitz | think Rick’s status played in this story and I’m also 100% confident of his integrity.]" | Mar 11 07:31 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: I want you to understand what they might be REALLY after | Mar 11 07:32 |
Ariadne | after i finished my bachelor's degree, they tried to recruit me directly into a management position | Mar 11 07:32 |
schestowitz | they've been trying to use money to silence us for ages | Mar 11 07:32 |
Ariadne | schestowitz: they might be really after a lot of things, who knows | Mar 11 07:32 |
Ariadne | i just found it funny that i got an offer | Mar 11 07:32 |
schestowitz | you should reject it | Mar 11 07:33 |
schestowitz | they are attacking software freedom | Mar 11 07:33 |
vmg3 | personal freedoms to | Mar 11 07:33 |
schestowitz | Microsoft laid off many people last year | Mar 11 07:33 |
schestowitz | even came to this channel for damage limitation | Mar 11 07:33 |
schestowitz | spinning the layoffs | Mar 11 07:33 |
schestowitz | inc. Azure layoffs | Mar 11 07:34 |
Ariadne | i don't really think microsoft at this point is actively attacking software freedom | Mar 11 07:34 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: there are almost certainly some ulterior motives | Mar 11 07:34 |
Ariadne | in the past, absolutely | Mar 11 07:34 |
schestowitz | they don't just wake up in the morning and randomly decide to hire people at random | Mar 11 07:34 |
Ariadne | i think they have new strategy: monetize software freedom | Mar 11 07:34 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: it is still attacking it | Mar 11 07:34 |
schestowitz | very strongly | Mar 11 07:34 |
Ariadne | schestowitz: they've been trying to hire me for 15 years ;) | Mar 11 07:34 |
schestowitz | part of that it trying to poach people | Mar 11 07:35 |
schestowitz | look what they did to rapi | Mar 11 07:35 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: ok, so say no | Mar 11 07:35 |
schestowitz | you're skilled | Mar 11 07:35 |
schestowitz | you can get a job elsewhere | Mar 11 07:35 |
schestowitz | [07:34] <Ariadne> i think they have new strategy: monetize software freedom | Mar 11 07:35 |
schestowitz | it does not work like that | Mar 11 07:35 |
schestowitz | because money does not come from freeing people | Mar 11 07:35 |
schestowitz | but from oppressing them | Mar 11 07:35 |
Ariadne | sure | Mar 11 07:35 |
mjg59 | Large tech companies desperately want to hire people with a free software background because they know that they need to work well in the free software space to remain competitive these days | Mar 11 07:35 |
schestowitz | lock-in, control, extraction | Mar 11 07:35 |
mjg59 | The ulterior motive here is that they want to continue making money | Mar 11 07:36 |
schestowitz | Azure is anti-freedom | Mar 11 07:36 |
schestowitz | (AWS is too, to a degree) | Mar 11 07:36 |
Ariadne | yes, literally the first offer i got from microsoft 15 years ago was basically "help them understand how to become a FOSS company" | Mar 11 07:36 |
Ariadne | they wound up hiring daniel robbins from gentoo instead | Mar 11 07:36 |
schestowitz | after Halloween Documents | Mar 11 07:36 |
schestowitz | the goal isn't to become free | Mar 11 07:36 |
schestowitz | but to shut it off | Mar 11 07:36 |
schestowitz | while pretending there's "love" | Mar 11 07:36 |
schestowitz | not a new routine | Mar 11 07:36 |
schestowitz | they did this in the 90s | Mar 11 07:36 |
mjg59 | They failed to prevent free software from gaining a foothold | Mar 11 07:36 |
schestowitz | [07:36] <Ariadne> they wound up hiring daniel robbins from gentoo instead | Mar 11 07:37 |
schestowitz | and he left quikcly | Mar 11 07:37 |
vmg3 | They know how to opensourse | Mar 11 07:37 |
schestowitz | hated port 25 | Mar 11 07:37 |
Ariadne | he left after a few years | Mar 11 07:37 |
schestowitz | also Wim | Mar 11 07:37 |
vmg3 | s/source/sourse | Mar 11 07:37 |
schestowitz | left Microsoft quickly | Mar 11 07:37 |
mjg59 | They also failed to retain the OS as a strong distinguishing feature | Mar 11 07:37 |
schestowitz | after the damage had been done | Mar 11 07:37 |
mjg59 | Products like Office 365 are where Microsoft can still make meaningful money, and they make more money the more platforms that's available on | Mar 11 07:38 |

Ariadne | anyway i do not know what i will do yet | Mar 11 07:39 |
mjg59 | I don't think Microsoft is idealogically in favour of free software - if it became finanically favourable to reject it again, I suspect they would | Mar 11 07:39 |
Ariadne | i am evaluating options | Mar 11 07:39 |
mjg59 | But I doubt that it will become financially favourable to do that, so I doubt they will | Mar 11 07:39 |
vmg3 | shareholders would revolt | Mar 11 07:39 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: OK, you know our position though | Mar 11 07:39 |
Ariadne | mjg59: customers expect software freedom at this point | Mar 11 07:39 |
schestowitz | they can make it harder for us to publish Microsoft leaks | Mar 11 07:40 |
mjg59 | There's been a meaningful shift. This generation of developers has grown up with free software. They're familiar with Linux. | Mar 11 07:40 |
schestowitz | and can use pressure on you to suppress past publications | Mar 11 07:40 |
vmg3 | buy thme | Mar 11 07:40 |
vmg3 | *them | Mar 11 07:40 |
Ariadne | schestowitz: if i were to take the offer, i would ensure that AS398493's operational decision making does not include me, and therefore they couldn't pressure me to do shit | Mar 11 07:40 |
schestowitz | there is always a way | Mar 11 07:40 |
schestowitz | for them to pressure people | Mar 11 07:41 |
schestowitz | they did this before | Mar 11 07:41 |
schestowitz | several times | Mar 11 07:41 |
schestowitz | I saw it, I was told that | Mar 11 07:41 |
schestowitz | they're not a nice company | Mar 11 07:41 |
schestowitz | sociopaths run it | Mar 11 07:41 |
schestowitz | and they target other people like you at the moment | Mar 11 07:41 |
Ariadne | if the operation is disconnected from me, then i would have no input into how it operates | Mar 11 07:41 |
schestowitz | http://techrights.org/2021/02/21/raspberry-pi-and-a-plan/ | Mar 11 07:42 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Microsoft Inside — Part II: Microsoft Has Plans for the Raspberry Pi or Linux SBCs in General (and It Hides Its Role in That) | Techrights | Mar 11 07:42 | |
Ariadne | and my partner in running that ISP is a debian developer and staunch FSF supporter | Mar 11 07:42 |
Ariadne | sooooo | Mar 11 07:42 |
schestowitz | they try to brain-drain the competition | Mar 11 07:42 |
schestowitz | like raspi and stuff | Mar 11 07:42 |
schestowitz | and look what they did to Intel: http://techrights.org/wiki/Intel_leaks | Mar 11 07:42 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Intel leaks - Techrights | Mar 11 07:42 | |
Ariadne | brain draining a company like intel does not sound bad to me | Mar 11 07:42 |
Ariadne | i hope they brain drain intel all the way to bankruptcy court | Mar 11 07:43 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: but those are just ways of justifying taking Microsoft money | Mar 11 07:43 |
schestowitz | and having to appease them to get the next salary... and the next | Mar 11 07:43 |
Ariadne | x86 is the largest threat to software freedom | Mar 11 07:43 |
schestowitz | ir's hardware | Mar 11 07:43 |
Ariadne | yeah | Mar 11 07:43 |
Ariadne | and when the hardware is broken | Mar 11 07:43 |
Ariadne | so is the software | Mar 11 07:43 |
schestowitz | Microsoft has plans | Mar 11 07:43 |
schestowitz | software freedom is NOT in those | Mar 11 07:44 |
schestowitz | Taking over groups is | Mar 11 07:44 |
schestowitz | to undermine them | Mar 11 07:44 |
schestowitz | like LF | Mar 11 07:44 |
Ariadne | is software freedom in any company's plans? | Mar 11 07:44 |
schestowitz | then outsource projects to GitHub | Mar 11 07:44 |
schestowitz | GitHub is an ATTACK on software freedom | Mar 11 07:44 |
Ariadne | is software freedom in redhat's plans? | Mar 11 07:44 |
schestowitz | no, but to some degree | Mar 11 07:44 |
schestowitz | IBM | Mar 11 07:44 |
schestowitz | IBM does not go out of its way to crush SF | Mar 11 07:44 |
schestowitz | except indirectly, e.g. patent lobbying | Mar 11 07:45 |
schestowitz | there's a difference between not caring | Mar 11 07:45 |
schestowitz | and actively working to undermine something | Mar 11 07:45 |
schestowitz | if Linux was a company, Microsoft would find a way to crush it | Mar 11 07:45 |
schestowitz | Ballmer said so himself | Mar 11 07:45 |
schestowitz | out loud | Mar 11 07:45 |
schestowitz | but they try to map who promotes the competition | Mar 11 07:45 |
schestowitz | that kills off Microsoft | Mar 11 07:45 |
Ariadne | last time i checked he does not work for microsoft any longer | Mar 11 07:46 |
schestowitz | 5000 or so Microsoft layoffs last year | Mar 11 07:46 |
schestowitz | Check the company's history (I have) | Mar 11 07:46 |
schestowitz | See what they did to Borland | Mar 11 07:46 |
schestowitz | they make a list of who to buy off | Mar 11 07:46 |
schestowitz | and then they can crush people in their "list" | Mar 11 07:46 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: there are even worse people at Microsoft | Mar 11 07:46 |
schestowitz | like those who bossed Ballmer | Mar 11 07:46 |
Ariadne | how do you 'boss' a chief executive | Mar 11 07:47 |
schestowitz | Ballmer is just not good at presenting | Mar 11 07:47 |
schestowitz | Board | Mar 11 07:47 |
schestowitz | Board can fire CEO | Mar 11 07:47 |
Ariadne | sure | Mar 11 07:47 |
schestowitz | shareholders pressure the board | Mar 11 07:47 |
schestowitz | shareholders wanted Ballmer out | Mar 11 07:47 |
Ariadne | they fired ballmer and installed the person who started maemo | Mar 11 07:47 |
schestowitz | bettet facade | Mar 11 07:47 |
Ariadne | so maybe the board wants software freedom | Mar 11 07:47 |
schestowitz | suits their agenda | Mar 11 07:47 |
schestowitz | no, the board wants money | Mar 11 07:48 |
Ariadne | right | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | money comes from taking away freedom | Mar 11 07:48 |
Ariadne | but they see that software freedom = revenue | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | that's seemingly weird, but it's truee | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | no | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | they see that undermining that freedom from the inside begets control | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | like | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | intrude LF | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | then use that intrusion | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | to divert projects aWAY from freedom | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | e.g. github | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | they did that in ASF | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | techrights.org/2019/04/29/asf-prisoner-of-microsoft/ | Mar 11 07:48 |
schestowitz | and then grabbed all the project except apacheserver | Mar 11 07:49 |
schestowitz | moved them to proprietary software | Mar 11 07:49 |
schestowitz | did the same to python btw | Mar 11 07:49 |
Ariadne | ? | Mar 11 07:49 |
schestowitz | and then paid loads of money to van icaza [sic] | Mar 11 07:49 |
Ariadne | python self-hosts their own git | Mar 11 07:49 |
schestowitz | to use that for Azure and VS marketing | Mar 11 07:49 |
Ariadne | er, hg | Mar 11 07:49 |
schestowitz | lots of python stuff is outsourced to Microsoft and they enter boards | Mar 11 07:50 |

vmg3 | politics of the net is so much like countries | Mar 11 07:53 |
vmg3 | damn communist software | Mar 11 07:54 |
schestowitz | it's not even that analogy first and foremost | Mar 11 07:55 |
schestowitz | there's a movement to oppress | Mar 11 07:55 |
schestowitz | and reaction to it | Mar 11 07:55 |
schestowitz | in the digital realm | Mar 11 07:55 |
vmg3 | our way is best | Mar 11 07:55 |
schestowitz | the oppressor looks for ways to thwart that opposition | Mar 11 07:55 |
schestowitz | "In Guthrie's opposition to fascism, he conceptualized the ideology "as a form of economic exploitation similar to slavery", straightforwardly denouncing the fascists – particularly their leaders – as a group of gangsters" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_machine_kills_fascists | Mar 11 07:55 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | This machine kills fascists - Wikipedia | Mar 11 07:55 | |
vmg3 | send in the spys | Mar 11 07:55 |
schestowitz | not we have tech gangsters | Mar 11 07:55 |
schestowitz | IBM, Microsoft | Mar 11 07:55 |
schestowitz | GOogle also | Mar 11 07:55 |
schestowitz | they want to get their way | Mar 11 07:55 |
schestowitz | Google also scatters money everywhere | Mar 11 07:56 |
schestowitz | with strings attached | Mar 11 07:56 |
schestowitz | it's about coercion, control | Mar 11 07:56 |
Ariadne | microsoft has less strings | Mar 11 07:56 |
schestowitz | so we need to pick sides | Mar 11 07:56 |
schestowitz | Microsoft is pro-WIndows | Mar 11 07:56 |
schestowitz | and that's a problem for us | Mar 11 07:56 |
schestowitz | it tells us use Windows | Mar 11 07:56 |
schestowitz | we have an "open source" calculator | Mar 11 07:56 |
schestowitz | we have telemetry everywhere too... and back doors | Mar 11 07:57 |
schestowitz | not they seem to be attacking Linux to distract from Exchange blunder | Mar 11 07:57 |
schestowitz | I see reports about "China... malware... Linux" | Mar 11 07:57 |
schestowitz | might be an ongoing Googlebombing campaign | Mar 11 07:57 |
schestowitz | "commie linux is bad... stay with Exchange" | Mar 11 07:57 |
Ariadne | linux does have worms | Mar 11 07:57 |
Ariadne | there are worms that even target alpine | Mar 11 07:57 |
schestowitz | but the timing... | Mar 11 07:57 |
schestowitz | Exchange blunder is nothing like this | Mar 11 07:58 |
schestowitz | those worms typically require some tech mistakes to be made | Mar 11 07:58 |
Ariadne | ok? | Mar 11 07:58 |
schestowitz | rogue packages, bad passwords... | Mar 11 07:58 |
Ariadne | i've seen a lot of coverage of the exchange blunder | Mar 11 07:58 |
Ariadne | i'm not convinced that microsoft is puppeting the media | Mar 11 07:58 |
vmg3 | they tried to manicure in the begining | Mar 11 07:59 |
schestowitz | it's not too improbbale | Mar 11 07:59 |

schestowitz | bill gates has already done that to some publishers | Mar 11 08:01 |
schestowitz | pass money | Mar 11 08:01 |
schestowitz | and they remove stories about him and microsoft | Mar 11 08:01 |
schestowitz | example: crosscut | Mar 11 08:01 |
Ariadne | anyway | Mar 11 08:02 |
Ariadne | eating is nice | Mar 11 08:02 |
schestowitz | you can eat without working for Microsoft :-) | Mar 11 08:02 |
schestowitz | food is not too expensive | Mar 11 08:03 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: we have a new Microsoft/EPO leak this week | Mar 11 08:04 |
schestowitz | I will start publishing today | Mar 11 08:04 |
schestowitz | It is a big scandal | Mar 11 08:05 |
schestowitz | It is a 15-part series | Mar 11 08:06 |
Ariadne | i mean, it does not really matter | Mar 11 08:06 |
Ariadne | i have specific requirements for accepting a contract | Mar 11 08:06 |
Ariadne | aka: i get to do whatever the fuck i want on my own time | Mar 11 08:07 |
schestowitz | But they have control over you | Mar 11 08:07 |
Ariadne | so that pretty much autokills GAFAM | Mar 11 08:07 |
schestowitz | through salary | Mar 11 08:07 |
schestowitz | I will publish evidence of EPO and Microsoft corruption | Mar 11 08:07 |
schestowitz | starting today | Mar 11 08:08 |
Ariadne | FOSS leader DistroTube now becoming SPIRITUAL ADVISOR | Mar 11 08:09 |
Ariadne | schestowitz: i'm probably going to work for a startup that is in the alpine community that is doing IoT stuff with alpine | Mar 11 08:11 |
Ariadne | so you do not have to worry :P | Mar 11 08:11 |
schestowitz | that would be good | Mar 11 08:11 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: thanks! | Mar 11 08:12 |
schestowitz | I appreciate the sincerity | Mar 11 08:12 |
schestowitz | bear in mind they keep doing this to people around me | Mar 11 08:12 |
schestowitz | and it later turns out what the true motivations are | Mar 11 08:12 |
schestowitz | I can think of 3 examples | Mar 11 08:12 |
schestowitz | 3 people | Mar 11 08:12 |
Ariadne | microsoft has been offering me a job since before i ever even heard of you | Mar 11 08:12 |
schestowitz | techrights turns 15 this year | Mar 11 08:13 |
schestowitz | we're really independent | Mar 11 08:13 |
schestowitz | and it's essential to remain like that | Mar 11 08:13 |
Ariadne | and the reason why is because i was doing work with dotGNU and Mono and Debian | Mar 11 08:13 |
schestowitz | no fear of publishing what's true, on any subject | Mar 11 08:13 |
schestowitz | EPO/Microsoft leaks start today | Mar 11 08:13 |
schestowitz | for the next two weeks | Mar 11 08:13 |
schestowitz | can have a big impact | Mar 11 08:13 |
Ariadne | so i mean, given that, it makes sense why they would approach me for the job that robbins ultimately took | Mar 11 08:14 |
schestowitz | robbins never recovered | Mar 11 08:14 |
schestowitz | people did not view him the same way | Mar 11 08:14 |
schestowitz | so then came funtoo | Mar 11 08:14 |

Ariadne | [01:14:52] <schestowitz> so then came funtoo | Mar 11 08:29 |
Ariadne | thats not why funtoo happened | Mar 11 08:29 |
Ariadne | gentoo community had little respect for robbins prior to MS gig | Mar 11 08:29 |
schestowitz | aha | Mar 11 08:29 |
schestowitz | anyway, microsoft vs starvation is a false dichotomy | Mar 11 08:30 |
schestowitz | you are smart and can pull off your owns startup | Mar 11 08:30 |
schestowitz | I receive a very small salary, enough for more than just food | Mar 11 08:30 |
schestowitz | freedom is more valuable | Mar 11 08:30 |
schestowitz | EPO attacks freedom | Mar 11 08:31 |
schestowitz | now it uses Microsoft to crush the staff | Mar 11 08:31 |
schestowitz | and break the law | Mar 11 08:31 |
schestowitz | pay attention to our upcoming series | Mar 11 08:31 |
schestowitz | EPO staff is furious | Mar 11 08:31 |
vmg3 | a real life community will never let someone starve | Mar 11 08:32 |

schestowitz | "Better be ready for a massive DDOS onslaught if you publish ... :-)" | Mar 11 08:40 |
schestowitz | Source said so | Mar 11 08:40 |
schestowitz | 20 minutes ago | Mar 11 08:40 |
schestowitz | I wonder about the timing of all this | Mar 11 08:41 |
schestowitz | some of the comms is not encrypted | Mar 11 08:41 |
Ariadne | 'DDOS' | Mar 11 08:41 |
schestowitz | happend before | Mar 11 08:41 |
schestowitz | after EPO publications | Mar 11 08:41 |
Ariadne | the only reason the site goes down is because it is built on crappy technology | Mar 11 08:41 |
Ariadne | like wordpress | Mar 11 08:42 |
Ariadne | and drupal | Mar 11 08:42 |
Ariadne | and mediawiki | Mar 11 08:42 |
Ariadne | and mysql | Mar 11 08:42 |
Ariadne | what you should do is convert the site to be built from something like jekyll | Mar 11 08:42 |
Ariadne | and then it can be all html | Mar 11 08:42 |
Ariadne | then you can put it in a git repo | Mar 11 08:43 |
Ariadne | and have numerous mirrors in round robin | Mar 11 08:43 |
schestowitz | yeah | Mar 11 08:43 |
schestowitz | thanks for improving performance | Mar 11 08:43 |
schestowitz | but ddos is still ddos | Mar 11 08:43 |
schestowitz | whether you can handle it is another question | Mar 11 08:44 |
schestowitz | when we published lots of croatia stuff the ddos got pretty intense | Mar 11 08:44 |
Ariadne | the network can handle it | Mar 11 08:44 |
*AVRS (~AVRS@wikimedia/AVRS) has joined #techrights | Mar 11 08:45 | |
Ariadne | also if everything is pre-generated | Mar 11 08:45 |
Ariadne | having multiple mirrors helps you to have more resilience against ddos attacks | Mar 11 08:46 |
Ariadne | as you can literally distribute the whole site in ipfs | Mar 11 08:46 |
schestowitz | yes | Mar 11 08:48 |
schestowitz | but logistically we don't yet have that need | Mar 11 08:48 |
schestowitz | the person who warns of DDOS isn't a crank | Mar 11 08:48 |
schestowitz | very reliable source | Mar 11 08:48 |
Ariadne | if there has ever been a ddos it has never been detected by the network monitoring | Mar 11 08:49 |
Ariadne | so if there is one, please let me know | Mar 11 08:49 |
Ariadne | i would like to dig into it | Mar 11 08:49 |
Ariadne | i figure it is just some jackass who figured out that your site is built on crappy php + mysql software | Mar 11 08:50 |
schestowitz | cheers, Ariadne | Mar 11 08:50 |
Ariadne | but in the 3 years of hosting techrights, there has never been any noticeable volumetric flood | Mar 11 08:50 |
mjg59 | Yeah, 15kqps is really not something that needs to be terribly distributed | Mar 11 08:51 |
schestowitz | it predates that | Mar 11 08:51 |
schestowitz | tessier can tell... | Mar 11 08:51 |

Ariadne | like i said i'm skeptical that techrights has ever been ddosed | Mar 11 08:56 |
Ariadne | there are websites on my network which frequently receive ddos, related to eSports | Mar 11 08:56 |
Ariadne | and the network monitoring reliably detects those events | Mar 11 08:56 |

Ariadne | with all this complaining about "cancel culture", is this #techrights or #CPAC | Mar 11 19:14 |
Ariadne | just wondering | Mar 11 19:14 |
MinceR | cancer culture | Mar 11 19:14 |
MinceR | does one have to be a fascist to disapprove of people being cancelled? | Mar 11 19:14 |
Ariadne | because dr. seuss enterprises choosing to withdraw books with racist illustrations is not "cancel culture" | Mar 11 19:14 |
schestowitz | it's not a partisan issue | Mar 11 19:14 |
schestowitz | techdirt | Mar 11 19:15 |
schestowitz | not techrights | Mar 11 19:15 |
MinceR | is that the only instance of cancel culture, then? | Mar 11 19:15 |
schestowitz | sorry if the names are similar | Mar 11 19:15 |
schestowitz | PJ of Groklaw got confused too | Mar 11 19:15 |
MinceR | funny, i seem to remember someone called RMS | Mar 11 19:15 |
schestowitz | mistaking the site names | Mar 11 19:15 |
MinceR | but i guess he became an unperson | Mar 11 19:15 |
Ariadne | RMS is still a person | Mar 11 19:15 |
schestowitz | we all are | Mar 11 19:15 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: can'd they just edit the illustrations or replace them? | Mar 11 19:15 |
CrystalMath | *can't | Mar 11 19:16 |
schestowitz | anyway, it's techdirt, not techrights | Mar 11 19:16 |
schestowitz | masnick is left-leaning | Mar 11 19:16 |
schestowitz | and he loathes censorship | Mar 11 19:16 |
MinceR | or maybe add a foreword with context | Mar 11 19:16 |
Ariadne | CrystalMath: feel free to ask dr. seuss enterprises | Mar 11 19:16 |
schestowitz | he's the target of attempts to cancel his site | Mar 11 19:16 |
Ariadne | it's their books | Mar 11 19:16 |
schestowitz | many old books are 'racist' | Mar 11 19:16 |
MinceR | or just put them in the public domain | Mar 11 19:16 |
Ariadne | if they don't want to bother with updating them, that's their business | Mar 11 19:16 |
MinceR | i doubt anyone's really depending on dead trees anymore | Mar 11 19:16 |
schestowitz | some of today's P-C books will be "bad" in the future | Mar 11 19:16 |
schestowitz | MinceR: some do | Mar 11 19:17 |
schestowitz | it's practical in many contexts | Mar 11 19:17 |
schestowitz | like on planes | Mar 11 19:17 |
schestowitz | I don't need batteries to read some text | Mar 11 19:17 |
MinceR | i read on my phone every time i flew | Mar 11 19:17 |
schestowitz | if you have some old books hanging in a cabinet, they too are an option | Mar 11 19:17 |
schestowitz | trees die from other things | Mar 11 19:18 |
Ariadne | anyway, RMS did not even get "cancelled" | Mar 11 19:18 |
schestowitz | in larger volumes | Mar 11 19:18 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: thankfully | Mar 11 19:18 |
schestowitz | they tried | Mar 11 19:18 |
Ariadne | RMS instead decided to piss off basically everyone at MIT | Mar 11 19:18 |
schestowitz | he withstood it | Mar 11 19:18 |
schestowitz | the IBMers still tried to get him out of GNU last year | Mar 11 19:18 |
Ariadne | by engaging in discussion of a hypothetical situation where marvin minsky took up epstein on his child sex offer | Mar 11 19:18 |
Ariadne | which clearly never happened | Mar 11 19:19 |
MinceR | ah yes, discussing hypothetical situations is now heresy | Mar 11 19:19 |
MinceR | RIP free software | Mar 11 19:19 |
Ariadne | discussing a hypothetical situation involving one of MIT's most beloved professors is definitely heresy on an MIT mailing list | Mar 11 19:19 |
psydroid | indeed | Mar 11 19:20 |
MinceR | now we have software repositories for the purpose of making crybullies feel good and supporting megacorporate agendas instead | Mar 11 19:20 |
schestowitz | monopolies | Mar 11 19:20 |
schestowitz | megacorporate underplays it I think | Mar 11 19:20 |
schestowitz | oligopolies at best | Mar 11 19:20 |
schestowitz | they share power among them | Mar 11 19:20 |

schestowitz | that's where the money comes from | Mar 11 19:21 |

psydroid | schestowitz, I know | Mar 11 19:22 |
schestowitz | even 'leftist' Obama moaned about "cancel culture" | Mar 11 19:22 |

schestowitz | because he recognised it would be used against people he agreed with | Mar 11 19:22 |
MinceR | CPAC member | Mar 11 19:22 |
schestowitz | many of us on the left who support (true) free speech see that as problematic | Mar 11 19:22 |
Ariadne | had he thought for a moment whether or not it would be appropriate to defend Minsky by exploring the hypothetical situation that was alleged instead of just saying "it didn't happen, the dude was in his 80s when that AI event happened on epstein's island" | Mar 11 19:22 |
schestowitz | Merkel opposed kicking Trump out from Twitter | Mar 11 19:22 |

schestowitz | not Twitter tosses people out, left and right | Mar 11 19:23 |

DaemonFC[m] | States have done just about everything to "lower recidivism", but really the only way to do it is to not arrest people in the first place and let them get away with crime so that you don't have to count it in the first place. | Mar 11 20:52 |
DaemonFC[m] | Illinois is doing this to make room in the budget for pensions for state "workers" who didn't do anything important when they were employed and certainly don't now. | Mar 11 20:53 |

DaemonFC[m] | That's why they let a convict who raped and murdered a little girl in 1997 out of prison the other day. | Mar 11 20:53 |
DaemonFC[m] | Sent him to live in a halfway house in an entire Chicago neighborhood who is pissed off and, let's be honest, hopes someone kills him outside of the legal system. | Mar 11 20:54 |

DaemonFC[m] | My prediction. | Mar 11 20:55 |
CrystalMath | then i hope someone kills the criminal who kills him | Mar 11 20:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | The state ought to be putting a needle in his arm, instead they let him out into Chicago. | Mar 11 20:55 |
CrystalMath | and the one who kills that other guy | Mar 11 20:55 |

DaemonFC[m] | You know where they should move this guy to,. | Mar 11 20:56 |

DaemonFC[m] | Who voted for this bullshit... | Mar 11 20:56 |
CrystalMath | i would vote for letting people go and giving them a second chance | Mar 11 20:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | They like him, they can have him. It'll never happen. People like this never deal with the consequences of what they vote for. | Mar 11 20:57 |
CrystalMath | i would always vote against vengeance | Mar 11 20:57 |
CrystalMath | people should only be kept in prisons to prevent harm to others, never as revenge | Mar 11 20:57 |

Ariadne | this group is really starting to become the QAnon of FOSS | Mar 11 21:04 |
schestowitz | it would not eliminate the "bad" one | Mar 11 21:04 |
CrystalMath | instead, it's ethical to arrest people for having fun on new years' eve | Mar 11 21:04 |
CrystalMath | schestowitz: it would, because immunity to one would also work on the other | Mar 11 21:05 |
CrystalMath | it's like a living vaccine | Mar 11 21:05 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: not even remotely similar | Mar 11 21:05 |
CrystalMath | it happens in nature all the time, that's how pandemic flus stop | Mar 11 21:05 |
Ariadne | it is totally similar | Mar 11 21:05 |
schestowitz | because a few people here oppose vaccination | Mar 11 21:05 |

Ariadne | not just that | Mar 11 21:05 |
schestowitz | maybe 1 or 2 | Mar 11 21:05 |

schestowitz | no need to associate any of us with people who subscribe to bible-connected fiction | Mar 11 21:06 |
CrystalMath | i just say that mRNA vaccines are untested stuff | Mar 11 21:06 |
CrystalMath | there are real alternatives to them, which are available | Mar 11 21:06 |

schestowitz | not among corporate press | Mar 11 21:07 |
CrystalMath | i thought we can contain the virus and get rid of it like SARS-CoV-1 | Mar 11 21:07 |

schestowitz | ok | Mar 11 21:08 |

schestowitz | I think you misunderstand qanon, I saw those loons in Twitter | Mar 11 21:09 |
schestowitz | world-class lunacy | Mar 11 21:09 |

CrystalMath | schestowitz: i have one visit my home, last time she was here she said the real Biden was arrested and this guy you see is an identical double | Mar 11 21:09 |
schestowitz | even worse | Mar 11 21:09 |
CrystalMath | and that the pope has been killed by Trump's deathray or something, and he's also an identical double | Mar 11 21:09 |
schestowitz | they call him pedo and stuff | Mar 11 21:09 |
schestowitz | they call everyone pedo | Mar 11 21:10 |
schestowitz | we, otoh, pursued police records | Mar 11 21:10 |
schestowitz | and we base things on hard facts | Mar 11 21:10 |
Ariadne | you ran a story about a nobody at microsoft having child porn | Mar 11 21:10 |
schestowitz | comparing anyone collectively to qanon takes a lot of burden of proof | Mar 11 21:10 |

Ariadne | i am just saying | Mar 11 21:13 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: maybe, why not? it's Assange's other actions that make him a hero | Mar 11 21:13 |
Ariadne | but, because they are on the "right team", you do not | Mar 11 21:13 |
CrystalMath | he's not defined by his few faults | Mar 11 21:13 |
schestowitz | this is pointless to even have a chat over, as it presumes I said things I did not | Mar 11 21:13 |
CrystalMath | he's defined by his greatness in other areas | Mar 11 21:14 |
Ariadne | a person is defined by both their virtues *and* faults | Mar 11 21:14 |
schestowitz | and eggs me on to attack wikileaks | Mar 11 21:14 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: everyone has both, but some how more of one and less of the other | Mar 11 21:14 |
CrystalMath | Assange is more good than bad, while Microsoft Peter (whoever that is) is more bad than good | Mar 11 21:14 |
Ariadne | is he? | Mar 11 21:14 |
Ariadne | that is a subjective comparison | Mar 11 21:14 |

CrystalMath | MinceR: are you sure that it would be Vlad? he'd have to at least split the world with China | Mar 11 21:21 |

schestowitz | MinceR: they support Green Party (at least Assange did) | Mar 11 21:22 |
MinceR | CrystalMath: is red china better? | Mar 11 21:22 |
schestowitz | in the US they equate voting Green with "russia" | Mar 11 21:22 |

MinceR | yes, it could | Mar 11 21:22 |

schestowitz | no | Mar 11 21:24 |

schestowitz | like the earlier straw man argument, "work for Microsoft" or "Starve to death" | Mar 11 21:25 |
Ariadne | what you publish is that a microsoft employee did evil things | Mar 11 21:26 |

schestowitz | CrystalMath: GNU is already harmed | Mar 11 21:26 |

schestowitz | because many people care about GNU | Mar 11 21:26 |
MinceR | destroying GNU and Linux is not their endgame | Mar 11 21:26 |
schestowitz | it's the original cornerstone of copyleft | Mar 11 21:26 |
Ariadne | you also wouldn't publish that applebaum did great things and is also accused of being a rapist | Mar 11 21:26 |
Ariadne | its a double standard | Mar 11 21:26 |
MinceR | rather, a global empire where we're all their slaves is | Mar 11 21:26 |
Ariadne | is my point | Mar 11 21:26 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: we cover Microsoft | Mar 11 21:27 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: i'm sure techrights did news on him | Mar 11 21:27 |
schestowitz | we're a tech site | Mar 11 21:27 |
schestowitz | wikileaks is poltitics | Mar 11 21:27 |
schestowitz | mostly | Mar 11 21:27 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: about the allegations and his tor work | Mar 11 21:27 |
schestowitz | so why would I cover microsoft more? Because, duh | Mar 11 21:27 |
Ariadne | schestowitz: what does somebody being a pedophile have to do with technology? | Mar 11 21:27 |
schestowitz | we started as a site with a campaign against Microsoft patent blackmail | Mar 11 21:27 |
schestowitz | they still do it | Mar 11 21:27 |
schestowitz | 15 years later | Mar 11 21:27 |
schestowitz | like Foxconn taken to court | Mar 11 21:27 |
schestowitz | over chromeOS | Mar 11 21:27 |
schestowitz | so the issues are not tackled of solved | Mar 11 21:28 |
schestowitz | we now have even more issues | Mar 11 21:28 |
schestowitz | like github | Mar 11 21:28 |
schestowitz | and entryism | Mar 11 21:28 |
schestowitz | LF etc. | Mar 11 21:28 |
Ariadne | how does covering that a microsoft employee is a pedophile solve the foxconn patent trolling issue? | Mar 11 21:28 |
schestowitz | they boost agenda | Mar 11 21:28 |
schestowitz | in the media | Mar 11 21:28 |
schestowitz | I can get you rfes on Microsoft Peter | Mar 11 21:28 |
schestowitz | he was mentioned LOADs of times before the arrest | Mar 11 21:28 |
Ariadne | i can look up his court records | Mar 11 21:28 |
schestowitz | he was here in IRC sometimes | Mar 11 21:28 |
schestowitz | trying to troll us | Mar 11 21:29 |
schestowitz | or muzzle us | Mar 11 21:29 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: go ahead | Mar 11 21:29 |
schestowitz | it's on record | Mar 11 21:29 |
schestowitz | he said gross things in court | Mar 11 21:29 |
*psydroid thinks that whoever wants to work for Microsoft, should work for them, and that the same thing applies to Google, IBM, Facebook etc. | Mar 11 21:29 | |
schestowitz | like "double fisting' | Mar 11 21:29 |
schestowitz | enjoy the reading | Mar 11 21:29 |
Ariadne | so the answer is you don't have an answer for how covering that somebody is a sex offender benefits software freedom, right? | Mar 11 21:29 |
Ariadne | this is what i am trying to get to | Mar 11 21:29 |
schestowitz | it does | Mar 11 21:29 |
schestowitz | it's relevant | Mar 11 21:29 |
Ariadne | why? | Mar 11 21:29 |
schestowitz | because that site crushed | Mar 11 21:30 |
schestowitz | Ars is nearly dead now | Mar 11 21:30 |
schestowitz | many left after this | Mar 11 21:30 |
schestowitz | and Microsoft has a hand in Peter | Mar 11 21:30 |
schestowitz | fiurativelty | Mar 11 21:30 |
schestowitz | for 10 years | Mar 11 21:30 |
schestowitz | the Open Source section there was 100% him | Mar 11 21:30 |
schestowitz | all Microsoft lies | Mar 11 21:30 |
schestowitz | until his arrest | Mar 11 21:30 |
schestowitz | and we captured there | Mar 11 21:30 |
Ariadne | i see | Mar 11 21:30 |
schestowitz | Microsoft's capture of media is on topic | Mar 11 21:30 |
schestowitz | did you know who funded Ars Technica UK? | Mar 11 21:31 |
schestowitz | Microsoft | Mar 11 21:31 |
schestowitz | their editor told me | Mar 11 21:31 |
schestowitz | Sebastian | Mar 11 21:31 |
schestowitz | it collapsed later | Mar 11 21:31 |
Ariadne | yes, that is on topic | Mar 11 21:31 |
schestowitz | we covered that | Mar 11 21:31 |
Ariadne | what i am saying is | Mar 11 21:31 |
schestowitz | we covered MANY things about Peter | Mar 11 21:31 |
schestowitz | many 100 articles mention him | Mar 11 21:31 |
schestowitz | the arrest was reported to me by a Red Hat employee | Mar 11 21:31 |
schestowitz | whom I won't name | Mar 11 21:31 |
Ariadne | you've run numerous stories defending applebaum from rape allegations, but do not extend the same courtesy to the microsoft person | Mar 11 21:31 |
schestowitz | they too had him flagged | Mar 11 21:31 |
schestowitz | I reposted some things about him, yes | Mar 11 21:32 |
MinceR | let microsoft defend him | Mar 11 21:32 |
schestowitz | speak to the author | Mar 11 21:32 |
schestowitz | i resposted almost all his articles | Mar 11 21:32 |
Ariadne | do you understand the dissonance here? | Mar 11 21:32 |
schestowitz | except ones too 'unsavory' to my judgement | Mar 11 21:32 |
MinceR | they're the ones whose narrative is that everyone who disagrees with them is evil | Mar 11 21:32 |
Ariadne | the truth is valuable to you when it is someone you want to attack | Mar 11 21:32 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: Appelbaum good, Microsoft bad | Mar 11 21:32 |
schestowitz | no | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | Micrfosoftg on topic | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | Wikileaks not | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | we used wikileaks | Mar 11 21:33 |
MinceR | they're the ones who bragged about managing to force a CoC into Linux | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | for tech only | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Cablegate | Mar 11 21:33 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Cablegate - Techrights | Mar 11 21:33 | |
CrystalMath | wait why is wikileaks not on topic? they're great | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | see the trend | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | articles about tech | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | mostly microsoft | Mar 11 21:33 |
Ariadne | CrystalMath: applebaum's work is good, applebaum's interpersonal behavior is not | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | I don't care about the private lives, I need the leaks | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | the leaked material | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | so we can see how Gates was attacking OLPC | Mar 11 21:33 |
schestowitz | with his fake 'charity' | Mar 11 21:33 |
Ariadne | if we are criticising a microsoft person for being a pedophile rapist, then we should also criticize applebaum for being a rapist | Mar 11 21:34 |
schestowitz | we're 100% consistent on this | Mar 11 21:34 |
Ariadne | that would be the consistent position | Mar 11 21:34 |
schestowitz | to clarify, we cover tech issues | Mar 11 21:34 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: are they consistent? | Mar 11 21:34 |
schestowitz | not so much politics, unless it relates to texch | Mar 11 21:34 |
schestowitz | like Trump committing political crimes he planned with Microsoft over the telephone | Mar 11 21:34 |
schestowitz | for financial gain and technical harm | Mar 11 21:35 |
MinceR | Ariadne: only the people microsoft press criticizes for being rapists should be known to be rapists? | Mar 11 21:35 |
schestowitz | totally, 100% on topic | Mar 11 21:35 |
MinceR | (if you can call them "press"...) | Mar 11 21:35 |
Ariadne | MinceR: the stories about applebaum can be easily corroborated | Mar 11 21:35 |
schestowitz | like I said, I'm 100% without regrets on this | Mar 11 21:35 |
schestowitz | we covered what needed to be covered | Mar 11 21:35 |
MinceR | Ariadne: ah, ok, then i guess it's time to give up on free software and see if microsoft will hire us | Mar 11 21:35 |
schestowitz | when we covered elections and suggested voting biden we rationalised re patent law and tech policy | Mar 11 21:36 |
Ariadne | MinceR: no? | Mar 11 21:36 |
schestowitz | I still think we did a good job on key topics | Mar 11 21:36 |
schestowitz | the gates arrest thing relates to the RMS smears | Mar 11 21:36 |
schestowitz | because they coincided in time | Mar 11 21:36 |
schestowitz | as I warned him over email | Mar 11 21:36 |
schestowitz | days before he was smeared in the media | Mar 11 21:36 |
schestowitz | and a week or so after the MIT scandal was all bill gates | Mar 11 21:37 |
Ariadne | the RMS smears happened because RMS decided to make an ass of himself on a mailing list with MIT and Harvard students on it | Mar 11 21:37 |
schestowitz | right now it seems like Microsoft-connected media distracts from Exchange | Mar 11 21:37 |
schestowitz | by attacking Linux | Mar 11 21:37 |
schestowitz | with some phony non-story | Mar 11 21:37 |
schestowitz | No, the RMS angle was promoted at a particular time | Mar 11 21:37 |
MinceR | RMS decided to speak out something non-tech-related | Mar 11 21:37 |
schestowitz | when MIT needed more scapegoating | Mar 11 21:38 |
schestowitz | to protect funding sources and PR | Mar 11 21:38 |
Ariadne | anyway, public leaders should learn the art of shutting the fuck up | Mar 11 21:38 |
schestowitz | MinceR: he always does | Mar 11 21:38 |
schestowitz | every day in his site | Mar 11 21:38 |
Ariadne | there would be far less "canceling" if they would do so | Mar 11 21:38 |
MinceR | and since the redmond mafia were opposed to him, this made it right to cancel him | Mar 11 21:38 |
schestowitz | nothing new | Mar 11 21:38 |
schestowitz | but suddenly it became a bigger issue | Mar 11 21:38 |
schestowitz | [21:38] <Ariadne> anyway, public leaders should learn the art of shutting the fuck up | Mar 11 21:38 |
MinceR | but if someone on microsoft's side does something problematic, let's all just stay silent and pretend nothing happened | Mar 11 21:38 |
schestowitz | not a good policy | Mar 11 21:38 |
MinceR | and wait for our turn to be cancelled | Mar 11 21:38 |
Ariadne | microsoft had nothing to do with the students being pissed and that one girl writing a medium post | Mar 11 21:38 |
schestowitz | that's the idea of apathy | Mar 11 21:38 |
schestowitz | "following orders" | Mar 11 21:39 |
MinceR | what could possibly go wrong? | Mar 11 21:39 |
schestowitz | we need more speech, not less | Mar 11 21:39 |
MinceR | yeah, they also had nothing to do about SJW trolls attacking Linux, except when they admitted it | Mar 11 21:39 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: the media that propped up her claims also distorted what he had actually said | Mar 11 21:39 |
Ariadne | freedom of speech does not imply freedom of consequence | Mar 11 21:39 |
schestowitz | and then the anti-RMS camp posted fake door signs and stuff | Mar 11 21:39 |
MinceR | it apparently doesn't imply anything anymore | Mar 11 21:39 |
Ariadne | schestowitz: those signs are real | Mar 11 21:39 |

schestowitz | no | Mar 11 21:39 |
schestowitz | they're fake | Mar 11 21:40 |
schestowitz | you fell for it | Mar 11 21:40 |
Ariadne | i've literally been there and seen them | Mar 11 21:40 |
schestowitz | he didn't make them | Mar 11 21:40 |
schestowitz | it was a prank on him | Mar 11 21:40 |
schestowitz | said his female colleague | Mar 11 21:40 |
schestowitz | he removed that | Mar 11 21:40 |
schestowitz | read her | Mar 11 21:40 |
schestowitz | don't get facts from "wteets" | Mar 11 21:40 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.commondreams.org | Pensioners, Labor Groups Applaud Key $86 Billion Provision in Covid-19 Relief Package | Common Dreams News | Mar 11 21:41 | |
Ariadne | that is 100% true | Mar 11 21:41 |
schestowitz | they had a run on him in 2009 | Mar 11 21:41 |
schestowitz | with the "emacs virgin" thing | Mar 11 21:41 |
schestowitz | virgins can be male | Mar 11 21:42 |
schestowitz | it's always a bunch of baloney | Mar 11 21:42 |
schestowitz | they just don't like his views on things | Mar 11 21:42 |
schestowitz | and want to create a vacuum | Mar 11 21:42 |
schestowitz | not atypical | Mar 11 21:42 |
schestowitz | this is why many people still feel angry at FSF | Mar 11 21:42 |
schestowitz | and seek to correct an injustice | Mar 11 21:42 |
schestowitz | [21:41] <Ariadne> but it is not fake that women in the MIT and Harvard community avoided RMS | Mar 11 21:43 |
schestowitz | that doesn't mean much | Mar 11 21:43 |
schestowitz | many people can avoid me also | Mar 11 21:43 |
schestowitz | doesn't say much about me | Mar 11 21:43 |
schestowitz | odd angle of accusation | Mar 11 21:43 |
MinceR | i avoid some people also, and that has no effect either | Mar 11 21:43 |
schestowitz | "he looked at me funny" | Mar 11 21:43 |
schestowitz | as cops like to say about blacks | Mar 11 21:43 |
schestowitz | "he walked awkward" | Mar 11 21:43 |
Ariadne | i see | Mar 11 21:44 |
schestowitz | "smelled funny" | Mar 11 21:44 |
MinceR | other people deserve special rights, we do not | Mar 11 21:44 |
MinceR | apparently | Mar 11 21:44 |
schestowitz | maybe RMS has reasons to be disliked | Mar 11 21:44 |
schestowitz | but so does everyone | Mar 11 21:44 |
schestowitz | we need to view people as fellow humans | Mar 11 21:44 |
schestowitz | and motivations matter | Mar 11 21:44 |
schestowitz | truth does, too | Mar 11 21:45 |
schestowitz | to profit some people lie | Mar 11 21:45 |
schestowitz | to us, to themselves | Mar 11 21:45 |
schestowitz | and deny others their freedom to make a buck | Mar 11 21:45 |
Ariadne | so reporting that one person is a pedophile rapist, while not reporting that another person is a rapist accomplishes this how? | Mar 11 21:45 |
schestowitz | sweatshop, sabotage of projects etc. | Mar 11 21:45 |
MinceR | apparently the only thing that matters anymore is who can cancel or otherwise harm other people | Mar 11 21:45 |
schestowitz | those of us with more compassion would not do that | Mar 11 21:45 |
schestowitz | as it leads to guilt | Mar 11 21:45 |
MinceR | "consequences" | Mar 11 21:45 |
schestowitz | some people blocked out guilt | Mar 11 21:45 |
schestowitz | so they destroy society for gain | Mar 11 21:45 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: you change the subject to something old | Mar 11 21:46 |
Ariadne | what about compassion for the people ioerror raped? | Mar 11 21:46 |
schestowitz | and a strawman argument | Mar 11 21:46 |
schestowitz | it's being brought up all the time not by us | Mar 11 21:46 |
schestowitz | because pocock correctly pointed us that zini said to the media something false | Mar 11 21:46 |
schestowitz | on behalf of debian project | Mar 11 21:46 |
schestowitz | I'm not Daniel | Mar 11 21:46 |
Ariadne | it is brought up by you when you republish materials defending ioerror | Mar 11 21:46 |
schestowitz | I'm Roy | Mar 11 21:46 |
MinceR | Ariadne: cancel them too | Mar 11 21:46 |
MinceR | call it "consequences" | Mar 11 21:47 |
schestowitz | and I agree with Daniel on most things | Mar 11 21:47 |
schestowitz | MinceR: we need leeway for free speech | Mar 11 21:47 |
schestowitz | Daniel was denied a voice | Mar 11 21:47 |
schestowitz | not because of crimes | Mar 11 21:47 |
schestowitz | but because at FSFE he was honest to Fellows | Mar 11 21:47 |
schestowitz | who elected him for it | Mar 11 21:47 |
MinceR | too bad | Mar 11 21:47 |
MinceR | we don't get that | Mar 11 21:47 |
schestowitz | as they had paid a portion of their salary | Mar 11 21:47 |
schestowitz | to a body steered by Google et al | Mar 11 21:48 |
MinceR | we get quote mined and cancelled | Mar 11 21:48 |
MinceR | that is our lot | Mar 11 21:48 |
schestowitz | and later at Debian the admins hide a $300,000 payment from Google | Mar 11 21:48 |
schestowitz | he knows Google very well | Mar 11 21:48 |
psydroid | <MinceR "apparently the only thing that m"> a modern disease that sadly pervades our societies these days, what is the solution? a giant meteor to hit us and clean up the mess that has been created? | Mar 11 21:48 |
schestowitz | he volunteered to mentor in GSOC for many years | Mar 11 21:48 |
Ariadne | so | Mar 11 21:48 |
Ariadne | again | Mar 11 21:48 |
schestowitz | and I want to hear what he saw there | Mar 11 21:48 |
schestowitz | it's important | Mar 11 21:48 |
Ariadne | what about compassion for the FREE SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS that ioerror raped | Mar 11 21:48 |
schestowitz | as many things aren't what they seem from the company's lens | Mar 11 21:48 |
MinceR | psydroid: yes, or a gamma ray burst | Mar 11 21:48 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: it's cyclic | Mar 11 21:49 |
MinceR | humanity won't save itself, so it can't be saved | Mar 11 21:49 |
schestowitz | I'm not with a burden to defend Appelbaum | Mar 11 21:49 |
MinceR | maybe intelligent life gets another chance to evolve here | Mar 11 21:49 |
schestowitz | it's like 'when did you stop beating up your wwife..." | Mar 11 21:49 |
schestowitz | I won't even respond to such a question | Mar 11 21:49 |
schestowitz | MinceR: that is part of the isue | Mar 11 21:50 |
schestowitz | overstretching | Mar 11 21:50 |
schestowitz | an issue broader than software | Mar 11 21:50 |
schestowitz | some people have 6 aircrafts | Mar 11 21:50 |
schestowitz | 4 jets | Mar 11 21:50 |
schestowitz | and lecture us on climate change | Mar 11 21:50 |
MinceR | i don't take issue with that | Mar 11 21:50 |
schestowitz | that relates to tech | Mar 11 21:50 |
MinceR | i take issue with whom they defrauded to get that | Mar 11 21:50 |
schestowitz | because those same people attack us | Mar 11 21:50 |
schestowitz | people who break things | Mar 11 21:51 |
schestowitz | to get richer | Mar 11 21:51 |
schestowitz | and then lecture us | Mar 11 21:51 |
Ariadne | well, my thing is simple, some of the people who were raped by ioerror are friends of mine | Mar 11 21:51 |
schestowitz | because 'good at stealing" is smart when you also pay the media | Mar 11 21:51 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: so speak to Daniel | Mar 11 21:51 |
Ariadne | so yes, i would like to see him no longer in the free software community, since he is a predator | Mar 11 21:51 |
schestowitz | or to Zini | Mar 11 21:51 |
Ariadne | i consider this a feature, not a bug | Mar 11 21:51 |
schestowitz | I never defended him | Mar 11 21:51 |
schestowitz | you won't find an article about him | Mar 11 21:52 |
schestowitz | in techrights | Mar 11 21:52 |
MinceR | i wouldn't worry about that | Mar 11 21:52 |
MinceR | there won't be a "free software community" for long | Mar 11 21:52 |
schestowitz | it would be off topic too | Mar 11 21:52 |
schestowitz | there is | Mar 11 21:52 |
mjg59 | schestowitz: You keep suggesting that criticism of Jake was motivated by politics | Mar 11 21:52 |
schestowitz | but it's getting attacked | Mar 11 21:52 |
MinceR | yes, for now | Mar 11 21:52 |
schestowitz | divide and rule is one tactic | Mar 11 21:52 |
schestowitz | it can be done by social engineering | Mar 11 21:52 |
mjg59 | schestowitz: In doing so, you imply that that criticism is invalid | Mar 11 21:52 |
schestowitz | e.g. bsd vs gpl | Mar 11 21:52 |
MinceR | it's self-destructing already | Mar 11 21:52 |
mjg59 | schestowitz: It is *absolutely* you defending him | Mar 11 21:52 |
schestowitz | fake ethics versus software freedom | Mar 11 21:52 |
schestowitz | the british empire used those tactics | Mar 11 21:53 |
MinceR | people inside the community believe microshit's lies about how microshit is on their side | Mar 11 21:53 |
mjg59 | schestowitz: What I criticised was not Daniel's article, it was your framing of Daniel's article | Mar 11 21:53 |
schestowitz | MinceR: some, not all | Mar 11 21:53 |
schestowitz | but then you rebut | Mar 11 21:53 |
schestowitz | eg. in techrights | Mar 11 21:53 |
schestowitz | and they see evidence that the media is just paid to lie aagin | Mar 11 21:53 |

Ariadne | because it demotivates people who are doing the actual work of writing the code | Mar 11 21:57 |

schestowitz | by intentionally distorting my views | Mar 11 22:45 |

Ariadne | if you are a free software contributor who has been raped by ioerror, and you see the activist wing of the community rally behind ioerror and call the whole thing "cancel culture", you would want to quit developing free software | Mar 11 22:48 |

DaemonFC[m] | Also, remember that he had plenty of money to fight the charges with and settle for something else, and wouldn't have been badly damaged and homeless. | Mar 11 22:54 |
DaemonFC[m] | Unlike me. | Mar 11 22:54 |
Ariadne | it has caused at least a few free software developers to quit | Mar 11 22:54 |
Ariadne | and if you don't have maintainers with domain expertise, then there's no point in talking about anything else | Mar 11 22:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | Rich people have the luxury that even if the cops make a problem for them, a criminal record isn't preventing them from getting a job at Walmart, which might be the only place hiring at their education level, and that they're not in immediate trouble of running out of money in the bank. | Mar 11 22:55 |
Old_Man | You will probably want to *not* cite mjg59, though, as he has developed a reputation for just making up false accusations according to his brainwashing cult. | Mar 11 22:55 |
Ariadne | cite whoever you want to cite | Mar 11 22:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | So even if they get convicted of something, it's almost like a joke. Even if it's raping kids, rich people smirk while they're doing whatever nominal "punishment" they got from the court. | Mar 11 22:56 |

mjg59 | CrystalMath: Right, that's me attempting to explain *why* people care about ethical licenses | Mar 11 23:24 |
mjg59 | And why I think many of their concerns are reasonable | Mar 11 23:25 |
Ariadne | yes but not an actual endorsement of the concept | Mar 11 23:25 |
CrystalMath | but to me the idea of free software is neutralizing software, taking power AWAY from the programmer | Mar 11 23:25 |
CrystalMath | i view te programmers as the oppressors | Mar 11 23:25 |
CrystalMath | and the users as the oppressed | Mar 11 23:25 |

Ariadne | how many times did you watch TRON? | Mar 11 23:26 |

mjg59 | How do you make use of the freedoms free software gives you without either being a programmer yourself or relying on the work of programmers? | Mar 11 23:26 |
CrystalMath | well, power is taking away from the original programmers / the copyright holders | Mar 11 23:26 |
CrystalMath | *taken away | Mar 11 23:26 |
CrystalMath | it gets diluted, although it's still not eliminated | Mar 11 23:27 |
mjg59 | So would you say that free software should empower people who don't otherwise have power? | Mar 11 23:27 |
Ariadne | i mean, i can run whatever code i want on my machines, so i would say i have total power there | Mar 11 23:27 |
CrystalMath | mjg59: well it does | Mar 11 23:27 |
CrystalMath | the preamble of the GPL explains it | Mar 11 23:28 |
mjg59 | CrystalMath: In most cases, sure. So, here's an example - if free software makes it cheaper to manufacture weapons that are then used to kill people, are the dead people empowered by free software? | Mar 11 23:28 |
MinceR | so now weapons are evil? | Mar 11 23:29 |
Ariadne | weapons have always been evil | Mar 11 23:29 |
mjg59 | I didn't pass a value judgement | Mar 11 23:29 |
MinceR | ah, so we're blaming objects for what people do | Mar 11 23:29 |
mjg59 | I asked whether the people who were killed with them are empowered | Mar 11 23:29 |
MinceR | awfully convenient for the people | Mar 11 23:29 |
MinceR | i think i'm going to go on a murder spree and just blame it on the objects i happened to use | Mar 11 23:29 |
CrystalMath | well it empowers "users", and i guess people who have been murdered aren't users of weapons, no | Mar 11 23:29 |
mjg59 | CrystalMath: Ok, that's a fair distinction to make | Mar 11 23:30 |
Ariadne | no, but as a developer it is depressing to hear that northrup grumman is using alpine in their weapons system | Mar 11 23:30 |
Ariadne | which is where these ethical source licenses came from | Mar 11 23:30 |
CrystalMath | it is depressing, sure | Mar 11 23:30 |
mjg59 | CrystalMath: The ethical software people are concerned not just about the users, but the impact of their software on people who aren't direct users | Mar 11 23:30 |
MinceR | it would be more depressing to give up on freedom zero because of that | Mar 11 23:30 |
Ariadne | MinceR: i agree | Mar 11 23:31 |
MinceR | especially if it turns out to be ineffective, as it will most likely be | Mar 11 23:31 |
Ariadne | and i think mjg59 also agrees | Mar 11 23:31 |
Ariadne | i've not seen anything to say otherwise anyway | Mar 11 23:31 |
Ariadne | maybe i am wrong :) | Mar 11 23:31 |
vmg3 | I was under the impression there were commercial use clauses | Mar 11 23:31 |
mjg59 | People can disagree whether it's possible to achieve their goals without compromising free software in ways that cause more harm than good | Mar 11 23:31 |
CrystalMath | a murderer could have also avoided software altogether and used something else, and nobody's arguing that murder is okay | Mar 11 23:31 |
CrystalMath | it's wrong, software or not | Mar 11 23:32 |
Ariadne | yes, but some people are sad when the tools they create are used that way | Mar 11 23:32 |
Ariadne | it is called the toolmaker's dilemma | Mar 11 23:32 |
mjg59 | But there's always been disagreements about how far free software can extend | Mar 11 23:32 |
MinceR | someone could also use free software-powered weaponry to kill in self defense | Mar 11 23:32 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: i can definitely understand that, but i believe it's not their fault | Mar 11 23:32 |
mjg59 | There's a sizable number of people who believe that copyleft is fundamentally non-free | Mar 11 23:32 |
mjg59 | Because it restricts your ability to use the code in proprietary products | Mar 11 23:33 |
CrystalMath | though i see why people can be upset, i think that objectively their conscience can be clear | Mar 11 23:33 |
mjg59 | And they see that as necessary for freedom | Mar 11 23:33 |
MinceR | which freedom is that? | Mar 11 23:33 |
Ariadne | the freedom to do whatever you want with the code | Mar 11 23:33 |
MinceR | i see | Mar 11 23:33 |
Ariadne | copyleft is not compatible with freedom zero maximalism | Mar 11 23:33 |
CrystalMath | freedom zero has nothing to do with copyleft | Mar 11 23:34 |
MinceR | i'm bothered more by people being unable to combine copylefted code with free software under an incompatible license | Mar 11 23:34 |
CrystalMath | copyleft is about distribution | Mar 11 23:34 |
Ariadne | we mostly fixed that in GPL3 and Apache2 | Mar 11 23:34 |
mjg59 | Ariadne: Freedom 0 is, I think, carefully written to avoid that argument - it explicitly talks about running it for any purpose, not distributing it for any purpose | Mar 11 23:34 |
CrystalMath | you can be pro-copyleft and a freedom zero maximalist | Mar 11 23:34 |
Ariadne | mjg59: hmm, true :) | Mar 11 23:34 |
mjg59 | I think it's actually more an argument about freeom 3 | Mar 11 23:35 |
mjg59 | And whether you can impose conditions on the distribution of modified versions | Mar 11 23:35 |
CrystalMath | but indeed, copyleft does a little bit of "affirmative action" here, tipping the scale in favor of the user, against the developers | Mar 11 23:35 |
Ariadne | and the largest practical problem with license compatibility (OpenSSL) is being relicensed to something compatible anyway | Mar 11 23:35 |
Ariadne | although openssl is hot garbage and you shouldn't use it in new code | Mar 11 23:35 |
mjg59 | So I see the ethical software/free software argument as being more about what levels of restrictions can be applied for the greater good | Mar 11 23:36 |
mjg59 | I wrote about that some more here: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/54709.html | Mar 11 23:36 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-mjg59.dreamwidth.org | mjg59 | What usage restrictions can we place in a free software license? | Mar 11 23:36 | |
mjg59 | Which is, I want to emphasise, not me saying that the license term I suggest there is a good license | Mar 11 23:37 |
mjg59 | But I think it could be argued that it is in line with the goals of free software | Mar 11 23:37 |
mjg59 | Merely entirely impractical in the real world | Mar 11 23:38 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: personally, i don't really see the Toolmaker's dilemma | Mar 11 23:38 |
CrystalMath | if someone uses something i made for something i find to be horrible, i don't even see how it's even slightly my fault | Mar 11 23:38 |
Ariadne | it's a mental health dilemma | Mar 11 23:38 |
CrystalMath | if others see it, they're wrong | Mar 11 23:38 |
Ariadne | if it does not impact you in that way, then that's good for you. | Mar 11 23:39 |
mjg59 | CrystalMath: So what I was aiming for in the blog post you linked to was to try to encourage people to understand the goals of the ethical license movement, and to respond to it in a way that demonstrates that understanding | Mar 11 23:39 |
CrystalMath | i can't actually guarantee that tbh, Ariadne | Mar 11 23:39 |
Ariadne | alpine is used in a lot of things i do not like, and it took several years for me to get beyond it | Mar 11 23:39 |
CrystalMath | so maybe i'll add this: | Mar 11 23:39 |
CrystalMath | if i get upset about it one day, then i'll be wrong | Mar 11 23:39 |
mjg59 | CrystalMath: It sounds like I didn't make that clear enough - sorry about that | Mar 11 23:39 |
CrystalMath | i'm saying it now when logic is 100% of the argument, before any emotions get in the way | Mar 11 23:40 |
CrystalMath | mjg59: maybe it was the title | Mar 11 23:40 |
Ariadne | the toolmaker in the toolmaker's dilemma has emotions, which cause the dilemma | Mar 11 23:40 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: yes but when you don't, you can see that there's no dilemma | Mar 11 23:40 |
CrystalMath | that's why i'm saying in advance, that this is 100% the case, before it actually happens to me | Mar 11 23:40 |
Ariadne | i hope it does not happen to you (or anyone else), it is not a nice feeling | Mar 11 23:41 |

MinceR | strong copyleft can be turned into weak copylefy by putting an IPC call between the two components | Mar 11 23:49 |
CrystalMath | doubtful ^ | Mar 11 23:49 |
CrystalMath | if they share data structures, a court can easily rule that it's a derivative work | Mar 11 23:49 |
MinceR | some patent nastiness got around GPLv2, against which GPLv3 was invented, but the community couldn't even get Linux to adopt GPLv3 | Mar 11 23:50 |
CrystalMath | a court has even ruled that using an API makes it a derivative work, in the US! | Mar 11 23:50 |
MinceR | that, too, can bite free software developers in the ass | Mar 11 23:50 |
CrystalMath | yes but the definition of a derivative work is incredibly wide | Mar 11 23:50 |

CrystalMath | mjg59: we did consider adding a warning for anyone in the US, but we're still ignoring it for now | Mar 11 23:52 |
CrystalMath | however Oracle v. Google said nothing about whether google's usage of the API was fair use or not | Mar 11 23:53 |
CrystalMath | because google did not defend that way | Mar 11 23:53 |
CrystalMath | google's claim is that APIs are not within the scope of a derivative work | Mar 11 23:53 |
