| DaemonFC[m] | > even the number of domains is way too high on a typical "modern" site, let alone number of script resources or functions or lines of code | Jan 15 01:05 |
|---|---|---|
| DaemonFC[m] | That's how Google is crippling ad blockers. | Jan 15 01:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | By limiting them to like 50,000 rules you can only filter out the worst offenders. | Jan 15 01:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Easylist and Easyprivacy together have over 150,000 rules. | Jan 15 01:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR Windows 9x had a severe limitation of 150 KB on a HOSTS file or else things got really slow. | Jan 15 01:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So when I was maintaining an ad blocking HOSTS file I bumped that limit and then realized by doing find and replace and changing 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 I saved enough space that it fell below that limit again. | Jan 15 01:08 |
| MinceR | :> | Jan 15 01:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Plus lookups to 0.0.0.0 failed faster because it's an illegal address so Windows wouldn't wait for a response. Which is exactly what you want when you're blocking ads anyway. | Jan 15 01:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Since HOSTS ad blocking often requires several entries per ad network, it grows fast. | Jan 15 01:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Windows 2000/XP can handle larger HOSTS files so for a while I was maintaining one for 2000/XP, and one for Windows 9x that just tried to block the most common ad networks. | Jan 15 01:11 |
| MinceR | so who's maintaining the crashium fork that allows adblockers to work properly and/or comes with a good adblocker? :> | Jan 15 01:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The 9x HOSTS file still blocked like 95% of the ads and stuff. The XP one went on to include the less common ads, plus spyware domains and stuff. | Jan 15 01:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR Opera and Vivaldi have removed the Manifest v3 limit. | Jan 15 01:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Microsoft seems to have removed the limit from Edge. | Jan 15 01:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mozilla says they won't implement the limit. | Jan 15 01:13 |
| MinceR | which of those is free software? | Jan 15 01:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So there's like 5% between Opera and Vivaldi, 12% with Edge, and 8% with Firefox. | Jan 15 01:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 25% of web users are not affected by Manifest v3. | Jan 15 01:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR Opera, Vivaldi, and Edge are proprietary, of course. | Jan 15 01:14 |
| MinceR | ah, so the web is still hopeless | Jan 15 01:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Firefox is open source for the most part. | Jan 15 01:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | GNOME Web uses Webkit Content Blockers. | Jan 15 01:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | QtWebEngine is Chromium. I don't know if the limit is enforced. | Jan 15 01:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oddly, the web engine and GTK Webkit browsers are more Free than Firefox. | Jan 15 01:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It makes no sense to even enable EME with WebkitGTK because they don't have a CDM module and wouldn't be interested in adding one even if Google offered them Widevine. | Jan 15 01:17 |
| XRevan86 | Android is more free than SailfishOS. | Jan 15 01:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The license of GNOME Web would make including one impossible. | Jan 15 01:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Web is GPL3. | Jan 15 01:18 |
| XRevan86 | Something about a close to monopoly status has less appeal to the FOSS crowd. | Jan 15 01:18 |

| roygym | Dirk has been involved with Linux since the early days. He was 24 and a student of mathematics/computer science at the University of Wurzburg in Germany. Working as a system administrator within the university, he “found postings from Linus in the comp.os.minix group, where he talked about a project of his.” Dirk wanted a UNIX operating system | Jan 15 12:47 |
| roygym | for his own machine. “FreeBSD didn't exist and 386BSD wasn't an option,” says Hohndel. Linux was the best choice, so he began to develop. | Jan 15 12:47 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Obviously, software repositories can be a security feature (open source, reproducible build, signed package, user free to use discretion on foreign packages), or a malicious anti-feature (the iOS App Store, where the user is not in control of anything and it's Apple who gets to decide if the phone can run anything at all). It's an example of how anything can be abused. Apple will certainly argue that the iOS App Store | Jan 15 18:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | is a security feature, which might be a knock on side effect if we can assume that competent reviewers are actually reviewing the source code of each individual app with a good understanding of what that code actually does (when the people making iOS make tens of thousands of programming errors themselves). | Jan 15 18:29 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Knowing about the Government Backdoor in your iPhone , you may decide to avoid reading about anything you think the government will frown on. This is exactly how you'd expect citizens in North Korea or China to behave, but not America where we allegedly have freedom (but not really). This too serves a government purpose. | Jan 15 18:39 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, they end up being as bad as anything that came about in Capitalism. | Jan 15 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's always a ruling class even though that should be impossible under Communism. | Jan 15 22:36 |

| MinceR | XRevan86: they did advertise it as communism | Jan 15 23:01 |
| MinceR | they even called their party the hungarian communist party until they pulled a microsoft on it | Jan 15 23:01 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: It's like saying that if the Green party wins, then the state automatically turns green. | Jan 15 23:02 |

| XRevan86 | schestowitz: Can you clarify? | Jan 15 23:06 |

| XRevan86 | I've noticed that in English "Communism" and anything "Communist" are concepts merged together, so everything's Communism what any Communist's hand touches, like an American's hand with Freedom. | Jan 15 23:08 |
| schestowitz | XRevan86: I think it's the name of some comedian... | Jan 15 23:08 |

| XRevan86 | MinceR: Anyway, I just didn't like that DaemonFC[m] merged these two together, caused a contradiction and then pointed it out. | Jan 15 23:12 |
| MinceR | he wasn't the one to merge them together, it's an old practice | Jan 15 23:12 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Does it matter? I point out that this kind of approach to terminology caused the confusion. And it's not even possible to sort it out without first setting the record straight. | Jan 15 23:14 |
| MinceR | i'm not sure where the confusion is | Jan 15 23:14 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: It's not possible to have a ruling class in Communism, but somehow Hungary has it. Checkmate, atheists. | Jan 15 23:14 |
| MinceR | which of those terms does accurately apply to totalitarian dictatorship in your view? | Jan 15 23:14 |
| XRevan86 | * had it | Jan 15 23:14 |
| MinceR | but it's possible to have a ruling class in socialism? | Jan 15 23:15 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Is it possible to have Trump in a democracy? | Jan 15 23:15 |
| MinceR | yes, but he wouldn't be able to do much of what he'd like to, in a democracy | Jan 15 23:16 |
| XRevan86 | At least that's out of the oxymoron area and in the grey area | Jan 15 23:16 |
| MinceR | also, in a functioning democracy, he would have needed to have an actual majority to get elected | Jan 15 23:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: The Chinese characteristics being the same as all other Communists. | Jan 15 23:16 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: So basically, socialism like democracy in the US | Jan 15 23:17 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Kinda, sorta, not really | Jan 15 23:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Absolute disregard for life chief among them. | Jan 15 23:17 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC[m]: that's kind of a general human thing though | Jan 15 23:17 |
| MinceR | as you can see, humans are doing a lot of things they can to ensure the extinction of their own species | Jan 15 23:18 |
| MinceR | (though if you asked one, they'd be adamant that they want to survive and they want the species to survive) | Jan 15 23:18 |
| XRevan86 | "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" – with the word "soclialism" instead of "communism" that sounds like a real thing some comparty would come up with | Jan 15 23:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Well, several thousand Chinese coal miners die every year. | Jan 15 23:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They don't bother to have a Mine Safety and Health Agency like the US does. | Jan 15 23:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's more people where they came from. | Jan 15 23:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some US coal miners die, but not an alarming number. | Jan 15 23:19 |

| DaemonFC[m] | > not this one, where they're even trying to abolish the EPA | Jan 15 23:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Court action has forced the EPA to do its job an alarming number of times lately. | Jan 15 23:21 |
| XRevan86 | I don't know a whole lot about China (scientes is the guy to ask about that), but I'm pretty sure Stalin is an important ideological figure there. | Jan 15 23:22 |
| XRevan86 | An inspiration to Mao, etc. | Jan 15 23:22 |
| XRevan86 | schestowitz: They really don't look like twins, which isn't really surprising %). | Jan 15 23:23 |

| XRevan86 | schestowitz: Plastic surgery is rarely done for comedic effect… | Jan 15 23:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Communists have a thing for mummifying their leaders. | Jan 15 23:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There are some statues to some former US presidents that people thought did an outstanding job. | Jan 15 23:27 |
| XRevan86 | That is also started by Stalin… | Jan 15 23:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Washington and Lincoln are about the only two that even got much of that. | Jan 15 23:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Lincoln's body was preserved enough so that the funeral train stopping throughout the country on the way back to Illinois could display it to a grieving nation. | Jan 15 23:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But it was buried in the end. There was a plot to steal his body and ransom it, but it was infiltrated by the police and it resulted in him being exhumed and buried and emtombed in cement this time. | Jan 15 23:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The plot to steal his corpse was like 30-some years after he died and his body was still in "good" condition at that time according to the people who exhumed it. | Jan 15 23:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Washington had near unanimous support and there were some that wanted him to be a king. | Jan 15 23:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He set the precedent of limiting himself to two terms in office. While it wasn't required, most presidents followed that. Two terms wasn't added to the constitution until after FDR died in his fourth term. | Jan 15 23:32 |
| XRevan86 | Lenin preservation story is pretty much the same, except for the ending | Jan 15 23:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The problem that this amendment solved is the one Russia is dealing with now. | Jan 15 23:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even if the elections were not rigged, Putin could theoretically be around forever if he could get enough real votes. | Jan 15 23:32 |
| MinceR | but could he? | Jan 15 23:33 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: With media control that's not that hard. | Jan 15 23:33 |
| MinceR | well, obviously centralized control of the media is incompatible with democracy | Jan 15 23:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I hear he wants to transfer powers to the Prime Minister so he's not just sitting there waiting to be the president again. | Jan 15 23:33 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Yes, something like that. | Jan 15 23:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Their constitution forced him to pretend Dmitry Medvedev was the president for a little while. | Jan 15 23:34 |
| XRevan86 | It seems like he's not planning to prolong his presidency another time. | Jan 15 23:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then they switched things around again. | Jan 15 23:34 |
| XRevan86 | Instead going the Nazarbayev route. | Jan 15 23:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | His policies have managed to leave Russia in ruins. | Jan 15 23:35 |
| MinceR | what's the nazarbayev route? | Jan 15 23:35 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: The problem with that is of course that a new person is always risk. | Jan 15 23:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If he actually had to win an election, I'm not sure how he would. | Jan 15 23:35 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Nursultan Nazarbayev is no longer president of Kazakhstan | Jan 15 23:35 |
| MinceR | what's his position? | Jan 15 23:35 |
| XRevan86 | an honourary country leader or something | Jan 15 23:36 |
| MinceR | so how does he exercise actual political power? | Jan 15 23:36 |
| XRevan86 | but as people think he has the current president on a short leash | Jan 15 23:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When they were losing control of Ukraine, they poisoned the President with dioxin and he survived. | Jan 15 23:36 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: And he also kept his party leader status, state security chief and a member of the constitutional council | Jan 15 23:38 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Indiana has partial immunity for legislators. They can't be arrested if it will interfere with their official business as a legislator. | Jan 15 23:40 |
| MinceR | "It has just been revoked!" | Jan 15 23:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If one went to jail, they'd have to be released from jail long enough to do their official business and then report back to the jail. | Jan 15 23:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's happened, just not recently. | Jan 15 23:41 |
