DaemonFC[m]

schestowitz__: Yes, I was having a conversation with the shop manager while the car was being repaired.

DaemonFC[m]

He asked why I back up my files to hard drives still.

DaemonFC[m]

You know, it's not only just the fact that Microsoft clown stuff crashes and leaves people "unproductive" for hours on end.

Feb 17 03:03

DaemonFC[m]

If you get a bad thunderstorm or snowstorm or high winds, it could knock out your internet service for who knows how long.

Feb 17 03:03

DaemonFC[m]

Then you can't even open a document.

https://github.com/flathub/org.signal.Signal/issues/122

schestowitz__

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Unable to allocate instance id · Issue #122 · flathub/org.signal.Signal · GitHub

schestowitz__

"Never mind, issue resolved when PC was rebooted."

mjg59

schestowitz__: Most of the bugs you're pointing at there involve flatpak letting the user know that their session is misconfigured (something that's largely outside flatpak's control)

Feb 17 03:06

mjg59

When installing stuff as a user, flatpak can't put .desktop files in the system-wide locations because it doesn't have permissions to do so

DaemonFC[m]

Bloat, lack of integration, maddeningly unhelpful error messages.

mjg59

If the environment hasn't set XDG_DATA_DIRS to include something in the user home directory, what's it meant to do?

DaemonFC[m]

These do not improve the situation.

mjg59

In this case it's extremely clear about what the problem is and what the consequences will be?

Feb 17 03:08

DaemonFC[m]

It's kind of unfortunate that we have this regression called Flatpak instead of making actual packages that install correctly and work with the system the user is running.

Feb 17 03:08

DaemonFC[m]

Those were what happened 10-15 years ago when people were nuts and just wanted the computer to work.

Feb 17 03:09

DaemonFC[m]

Instead we have these things that, if you can get them to install at all, the themes are wrong, it'll have trouble accessing various resources of the system, etc. It's constantly malfunctioning on some level.

Feb 17 03:10

DaemonFC[m]

And the answer is that it's great and you need more of it.

Feb 17 03:10

DaemonFC[m]

Most of the people making the software have no idea or not a care in the world as to how the people using it want it to function. It would really take a different kind of person to think highly of Flatpak after years of native packages installing and running fine.

Feb 17 03:12

DaemonFC[m]

Flatpak is this idea where you build and package an application once and it sort of halfassed works on many different systems.

Feb 17 03:13

DaemonFC[m]

It solves the problem for the person packaging the application as long as they don't care if it works or not for the people installing it.

Feb 17 03:13

mjg59

There are things you can justifiably blame on Flatpak. schestowitz's comment there wasn't one of them.

Feb 17 03:14

DaemonFC[m]

In practice, having a Snap or a Flatpak is almost as bad as not having a package at all and figuring out how to build it yourself from source code.

Feb 17 03:14

mjg59

(Eg, Flathub accepting binary packages with no mechanism for reproducing them is definitely a bad thing)

Feb 17 03:15

DaemonFC[m]

In fact, I've taken applications (small ones) out of Suse or Mageia or something and sort of jammed them into Fedora and had that work out better than the Flatpak.

Feb 17 03:15

DaemonFC[m]

<mjg59 "(Eg, Flathub accepting binary pa"> Well, in practice that's the main use case, just as it is for Snap.

Feb 17 03:16

DaemonFC[m]

Microsoft loves carpet bombing Linux with bullshit in a way that is easiest for them, and of course they don't want anyone to know how it works.

Feb 17 03:17

DaemonFC[m]

I was actually shocked that they added an APT repository for VS Code that schestowitz__ mentioned in Raspberry Pi OS.

Feb 17 03:18

DaemonFC[m]

Because normally they want you to install this proprietary telemetry-backdoored piece of Electron crap using Snap.

Feb 17 03:18

./bombadillo

Feb 17 03:23

schestowitz__

./bombadillo: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by ./bombadillo)

Feb 17 03:23

schestowitz__

Another failure, hard-linking libs

Feb 17 03:24

schestowitz__

a previous versiob of it works, but it is very old

Feb 17 03:24

schestowitz__

./bombadillo_linux_64

schestowitz__

it's only supporting gopher

schestowitz__

and assumes dialup

DaemonFC[m]

There's a gopher add-on for Chromium browsers, but it's not real gopher.

DaemonFC[m]

It uses a proxy server to turn it into "web pages" that the browser can render.

https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/bill-gates-roasted-for-saying-rich-countries-should-eat-100-synthetic-beef-11613516694

DaemonFC[m]

I also think that all of Floodgap's add-ons are also not FOSS.

Feb 17 03:26

DaemonFC[m]

There's some kind of "source available license".

Feb 17 03:27

mjg59

schestowitz__: That's not hard-linking libs

Feb 17 03:27

mjg59

schestowitz__: That's it being built against a newer libc than you have

Feb 17 03:27

mjg59

If you do that and end up pulling in symbols that only exist in newer versions of the library, it synthesises a requirement on that version symbol to make it clear what the problem is

Feb 17 03:28

DaemonFC[m]

He does use Debian, so that happens more often.

superkuh

I'm totally down for cultured artificial meats.

DaemonFC[m]

He's pitching this because he's invested in the companies making the stuff.

DaemonFC[m]

The plant Whopper actually has more cholesterol than the meat Whopper.

superkuh

That's not artificial meat.

superkuh

That's textured vegetable protein.

DaemonFC[m]

Plus, it's probably really easy to go vegan if you have a personal chef.

superkuh

Tissue cultured meats could be awesome. It could make meat production much cheaper.

DaemonFC[m]

So it's just something else rich people do to bask in their own farts.

https://youtu.be/OnA_s9IBSmA

superkuh

Sure.

Feb 17 05:50

DaemonFC[m]

The tissue culture stuff would be nice. Get the CO2 emissions down and no real animals have to die over it.

That's not the only thing, users or addicts genuinely believe they need 5 GHz power-hungry processors and wasteful graphics cards to play their precious games. If you point out there is a better way, they consider the chips a fixed entity that you can only scale up and down in power by minimally changing some parameters rather than questioning the very foundations of modern chip design as Apple and other companies have

Feb 17 15:05

DaemonFC[m]

My mom had no idea what was going on down there. I told her Texas isolated its power grid so they wouldn't be regulated by the feds and they didn't winterize anything, so one problem happens and now they can't buy power from other states until they can get their own running. And they're leaving thousands of empty offices lit up while the people get rolling blackouts worse than the ones in California in 2004.

Feb 17 18:29

DaemonFC[m]

There'd be no point in turning off the bit reservoir, but I guess they didn't want undefined behavior if they found a reason to do that later?

MP3 decoders have sometimes had problems implementing the specification, but Microsoft's decoder was intended to be the only one anyone could use.

The Catholic Church emailed mom and told her that they froze her pension as of December 31st, 2020.

Feb 17 20:18

DaemonFC[m]

It won't grow anymore, and it's going to cost her $200 a month vs. what she thought it would pay when she retires in a couple of years.

Feb 17 20:19

DaemonFC[m]

All of these crooks and liars that steal from their workers. Not just government and private business....

Feb 17 20:22

DaemonFC[m]

You'd think that they should see the irony. The church made a promise and then broke it.

Feb 17 20:22

DaemonFC[m]

Defined benefit pensions have been gone for quite a while for new hires, but now they're taking them away from people where they said "Don't worry. You're grandfathered in. We'll let yours grow as long as you're here!".

Feb 17 20:23

DaemonFC[m]

The next email will probably be "Welp, no pension at all. Have fun with Social Security!".

Feb 17 20:23

DaemonFC[m]

Just like all of those folks at EPO and all over corporate America where they told people like my dad that he was grandfathered in and then took his pension and fired him.

Feb 17 20:25

DaemonFC[m]

The pension is a carrot on a stick. They dangle it out there saying you'll have plenty of money in retirement if you just spend your whole life working for the company.

Feb 17 20:25

Then they ditch the pension and you maybe and you're left with Social Security checks that barely cover rent.

yes, it is widespread issue

DaemonFC[m]

If it's just a promissory note, they can do a lot of nasty things when they don't need your services anymore.

DaemonFC[m]

Because what'll happen is he may give the company 30 years and never take a sick day, and they can just steal the pension at the last minute, or go bankrupt.

schestowitz__

let's talk of the general issues, if at all

DaemonFC[m]

But the private account is his, it's portable.

schestowitz__

it's not diary

With a government bond, you have an electronic serial number. It's registered to a taxpayer ID and a treasury account. If someone tried to break in and change the bank account to one they control and cash it, the deposit wouldn't go through because your name and tax ID don't match the new account.
