baronhk[m]1schestowitz__: Now Hyundai is advertising that they have a "sonic baby detector" in their cars to alert you if you're about to leave a child in the car. WTF.May 20 00:01

schestowitz__"Thanks for your response, but my message was about going beyond 'IP solutions' and promoting/funding R&D in developing countries. I agree with compulsory licensing, but actually meaningful technology transfer is needed, for example in exchange for access to developing country markets by pharma. We are in a very serious crisis that also provides the opportunities for meaningful structural changes which will help with future pandemicsMay 20 00:04
schestowitz__ IP solutions are a distraction because we all know they won't provide vaccines to the developing world. We need to help the developing world a lot more than that."May 20 00:04
schestowitz__"IP solutions" LOLMay 20 00:05
schestowitz__I've nothing against Internet ProtocolMay 20 00:05
baronhk[m]1Most people who leave a baby in a hot car are some kind of degenerate asshole out between prison stints.May 20 00:05
baronhk[m]1So I doubt this "feature" does any real good.May 20 00:05
schestowitz__if You LOVE YOUR BABY, YOUWillBuyThis!! (TM)May 20 00:06
schestowitz__lots of companies shoehorn bad things by hijacking popular causesMay 20 00:06
schestowitz__or by concern-trollingMay 20 00:06
schestowitz__like censoring communitiesMay 20 00:06
schestowitz__to make them "more welcoming"May 20 00:06
rasenganschestowitz__: I agree entirely.May 20 00:06
schestowitz__by means nobody even spoke aboutMay 20 00:06
schestowitz__like removing the term "lame"May 20 00:07
schestowitz__rasengan: I'm no friend of rich people, but I think you're being misunderstood in this contextMay 20 00:07
schestowitz__maybe it was handles poorly on the communications sideMay 20 00:07
rasenganschestowitz__: I appreciate your efforts in helping to bring up issues on your website, and look forward to engaging with you and the rest of the community to help develop the proper structure to carry freenode to the future.May 20 00:07
schestowitz__PIA is the only VPN I trustMay 20 00:07
schestowitz__baronhk[m]1 uses itMay 20 00:08

*mmu_man has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)May 20 00:08
schestowitz__their words in support of staying on freenode would go a long wayMay 20 00:08
CrystalMathschestowitz__: ##slackware is stayingMay 20 00:09
schestowitz__goodMay 20 00:09
schestowitz__we don't need to rock the boatMay 20 00:09
schestowitz__until there's some very very bad faith move by rasenganMay 20 00:09
rasenganI think there was definitely poor communication.  I apologize for that.  I've not yet spoken to anyone in those groups, but with respect and honor to the organizations, there were issues that arose there as well that I don't particularly have any of my own opinion on since I don't have enough information, but I want to make sure we structure thisMay 20 00:09
rasenganright for everyone and fully understand what we're doing to avoid anything like what's happening here or what happened there.May 20 00:09
schestowitz__most of us just want to get on with work, not hop between networksMay 20 00:09
rasenganI thought you meant in terms of sorting the governance of freenode, I apologize.May 20 00:09
lockeanarchistmaybe the best way is calling people from fsf/distros to be staff hereMay 20 00:10
schestowitz__that can help improve confidenceMay 20 00:10
schestowitz__that might help, tooMay 20 00:10
rasenganWith respect to channels and groups, I actually hope that everyone simply makes their own opinion and call based on what best suits their situation - be it to stay on freenode, move to another IRC Network, or even adopt a self-hosted, FOSS, in house platform of some kind.May 20 00:10
*slep has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)May 20 00:10
schestowitz__people and names we can recogniseMay 20 00:10
lockeanarchistArch Linux is undecided yetMay 20 00:10
rasenganlockeanarchist I agree.May 20 00:10
schestowitz__lockeanarchist: they're busying coding/hackingMay 20 00:11
rasenganSomething that I've prepared as a proposal but haven't yet presented it publicly as I have (from former freenode staffers and others) received mixed input (positive and negative).May 20 00:11
schestowitz__afaik, the only 'bad' thing rasengan did was takeover of the domain or whatnotMay 20 00:11
schestowitz__without properly explaining the intentionsMay 20 00:11
schestowitz__what are the operating costs of freenode, aside from staff/HR?May 20 00:11
schestowitz__10,000 dollars  a month?May 20 00:12
CrystalMathReactOS remains primarily on mattermost but remains bridged to freenodeMay 20 00:12
schestowitz__I assume there's also the repair aspectMay 20 00:12
schestowitz__but you already have DCs full of iron for PIA all around the worldMay 20 00:12
schestowitz__IRC has low footprint on the server sideMay 20 00:12
rasenganEssentially, as I understood it, aside from certain aspects that are more difficult to decentralize, what I'm interested in to see is if the community is interested in a different model more akin to EFnet (e.g., if Arch Linux links a server like irc.archlinux.org, then the server remains that and people will eventually connect via that).  Thus ifMay 20 00:12
rasenganthey feel, in the future, that freenode is failing them, they can simply delink/relink elsewhere or stand-alone.May 20 00:12
lockeanarchistrasengan: You guys need to talk with Ubuntu/Arch/FSF ops fast, try to get together a council proposal etc idkMay 20 00:13
rasenganThis would essentially cause the domain 'freenode.net' to become less important overtime and give rise to a truly decentralized IRC network.May 20 00:13
lockeanarchistif this ambivalence persists Freenode will bleed fastMay 20 00:13
schestowitz__IRC isn't built to be decentralisedMay 20 00:13
schestowitz__because of the nature of roomsMay 20 00:13
rasenganThat's true - let's call it, less centralized.May 20 00:13
schestowitz__I hardly of a true/pure delinked from central point chat clientsMay 20 00:14
XRevan86More like… XMPP?May 20 00:14
schestowitz__xmpp has a serverMay 20 00:14
schestowitz__you can self-host, sureMay 20 00:14
schestowitz__with openfire is what/how we did itMay 20 00:14
XRevan86Which is not the same as the MUC server.May 20 00:14
cow_2001nobody self hostsMay 20 00:14
cow_2001almost nobodyMay 20 00:14
CrystalMathrasengan: i think that's a great idea actually!May 20 00:14
XRevan86Oh hey, a user of OpenFire, how weird.May 20 00:14
schestowitz__it's problematgicMay 20 00:14
schestowitz__for MANY reasonsMay 20 00:14
schestowitz__(self-hosting IRC)May 20 00:14
superkuhThe IRC community isn't interested in change. The IRC community wants stability.May 20 00:14
schestowitz__yes!May 20 00:15
schestowitz__PIA has many serversMay 20 00:15
superkuhPeople who want change are using discord/slack/etc already.May 20 00:15
schestowitz__and needs people who can operate the IRC daemons or whatnotMay 20 00:15
schestowitz__if PIA wants a business model, it can try to offer VPN "added value"May 20 00:16
schestowitz__like anonymous IRC access packagesMay 20 00:16
schestowitz__which I don't think would be unethicalMay 20 00:16
schestowitz__I get some leaks from sources over IRCMay 20 00:16
rasenganI don't think that changing the nomenclature on the IRC network will cause too much issue since the original irc.freenode and chat.freenode would still round robin.May 20 00:16
schestowitz__anonymity isn't a think, but we can work towards that, to replace "document drops"May 20 00:17
schestowitz__I don't think the domain is the issueMay 20 00:17
XRevan86superkuh: And then Discord just arbitrarily blocks them.May 20 00:17
schestowitz__it's whether people trust the domain ownerMay 20 00:17
schestowitz__I am working on a long article about freenodeMay 20 00:17
XRevan86but one person is not important, so the world moves onMay 20 00:17
schestowitz__but need to get more facts right, the prior ones were very hasty and rushed due to panicMay 20 00:18
schestowitz__XRevan86: we can all agree those proprietary systems are obsolete to usMay 20 00:18
schestowitz__we move in a different direction, different goalsMay 20 00:18
rasenganschestowitz__: I agree, re the trust.  That said, to cause someone to trust a single domain and domain owner is a bit much.  That trust could be spread across many different domains, hosted by projects who choose to exist here.May 20 00:18
schestowitz__rasengan: +1May 20 00:19

schestowitz__rasengan: is Shells run by your brother?May 20 00:20
superkuhYou say that as you tear the entire community apart using your legal shell games to deny involvement on technicalities. But I don't care what legal fictions you hide behind. It's you. Some future panacea of perfectly federated IRC is irrelevant to what you are doing now.May 20 00:21
rasenganschestowitz__: YesMay 20 00:21
schestowitz__cool.May 20 00:21
schestowitz__superkuh: mind you, running the network costs moneyMay 20 00:21
schestowitz__that's the reality of itMay 20 00:22
schestowitz__so he's walking as tight rope here...May 20 00:22
schestowitz__for us the 'lazy' geeks what matters is that freenode is "just there..."May 20 00:22
superkuhNow imagine if it were Bill Gates (or any suitable rich person) providing the funding hands off, then, taking control despite saying he wouldn't. Would you respond the same way?May 20 00:25
schestowitz__that's a straw manMay 20 00:26

MinceRcan you get a proper army for $100 billion?May 20 00:37
baronhk[m]1Even with double or triple that here, you would be far from comfortable.May 20 00:38
baronhk[m]1The government would make sure of that with all of their dirty health insurance laws.May 20 00:38

schestowitz__(ageism blah blah)May 20 00:39
schestowitz__they won't have much time or capacity to enjoy that moneyMay 20 00:39
baronhk[m]1Oddly, ACA premium supports don't count against you, so as long as you watch that your income doesn't go too high, you can be an immigrant and on a subsidized health insurance plan and they can't say anything about it.May 20 00:39
schestowitz__either physical limitation of lack of timeMay 20 00:39
schestowitz__*orMay 20 00:39
baronhk[m]1But Medicaid counts against you if you're an immigrant, even though it costs the government about $4,600 per Medicaid beneficiary per year vs. possibly $7,000-$8,000 in ACA credits.May 20 00:40
baronhk[m]1So enrolling in something that costs the government twice as much is the way to go if you're a low income immigrant in need of insurance.May 20 00:40

XRevan86One point of the opposition is that the rasengan's company doesn't have any claim on Freenode whatsoever as even the domain names being in its control is a historical misunderstanding, so it wasn't his call to begin with.May 20 01:05

In the same way that “cancel RMS” in 2019 was about some tactless E-mails (seen as insensitive towards victims) and in 2021 “cancel RMS” was all about the man coming back to the FSF’s Board (anger superficially boosted and artificially floated by the set of new claims, shifting to a whole different set of poor-quality accusations).May 20 05:20

baronhk[m]1That's what happens when you remove the personal financial responsibility of having children you can't afford.May 20 05:34
baronhk[m]1People have lots of them because they know the government gives them free shit because they're the parent. So now they get SNAP and cash and free internet and low income housing and cell phones and Medicaid, because the government goes "Oh well, you don't know who any of the fathers are. We'll just tax all of these other people and you can be a welfare queen.".May 20 05:35
baronhk[m]1This was how bad it was before Biden's emergency Coronavirus nonsense.May 20 05:35

baronhk[m]1I can't imagine anyone whose parents bothered trying to educate and instill any sense of morality into could grow up and even make a statement like aren't the people running the Chinese restaurant giving people COVID.May 20 05:43
GNUmoonschestowitz: no worries, I'm sure you didn't pick it :)May 20 05:45
baronhk[m]1There's a lot of it out there. Facebook's model is to attract people who respond to this stuff and then promote it to drive advertising.May 20 05:45
baronhk[m]1Then they say we delete lots of accounts and yada yada.May 20 05:45
baronhk[m]1The devil speaks with a forked tongue.May 20 05:45
baronhk[m]1In the 90s there were definitely people like this hanging out on forums, but they were not organized. They weren't promoted like this. Few took them seriously.May 20 05:46
baronhk[m]1If COVID happened in the 90s, everyone would have gone to get the vaccine. There wouldn't be all of these attacks on Asians.May 20 05:47
baronhk[m]1What's ultimately wrong is a lot of things. Better people have died and been replaced by worse people.May 20 05:47

baronhk[m]1There's a group of slackers and morons now who have formed a student group demanding to be passed through Chicago high schools due to the "trauma" from COVID affecting their grades.May 20 05:49
baronhk[m]1Nice one. May 20 05:49

baronhk[m]1Stallman pretty much covered it. If you leave the 24/7 panic channels off you can avoid this.May 20 05:52

baronhk[m]1I caught it relaying data to Facebook.May 20 05:54
baronhk[m]1It tells Facebook your HIV status if you list it. If it's negative you start getting PrEP ads and ads for lawyers suing Gilead for making PrEP.May 20 05:55
baronhk[m]1Yes, take it and then sue!May 20 05:55
baronhk[m]1There's lots of people who are entirely too open about things like this.May 20 05:55
baronhk[m]1Would you want Facebook to know your HIV status? How does that affect lending terms and employment opportunities? Oh, we all know banks and employers never peek at data they can't legally use and then make a decision with it.May 20 05:56
baronhk[m]1There's many interactions with apps and Facebook, and Google is basically allowing all of it. I saw someone post Facebook's in app response to Apple's new privacy setup. They threaten that it may not be free anymore if people start rejecting being used this way.May 20 05:58

baronhk[m]1MSIE won't die for quite a while.May 20 14:15
baronhk[m]1If you wanted to, you could just write an IE shell around Trident and at that point it's an application using the platform.May 20 14:15
baronhk[m]1IE is hundreds of MB but Internet Explorer the shell is just a few.May 20 14:16
baronhk[m]1Even if it appears to go away, Microsoft has removed less than 1% of IE from the computer.May 20 14:17
baronhk[m]1They would only be removing the part you can see, which you've been allowed to do since Windows 7.May 20 14:17

baronhk[m]1mjg59 still hasn't started Cancel Bill Gates on GitHub.May 20 14:22
baronhk[m]1Maybe instead of sabotaging the Free Software side of the fence he can help drain the swamp of perverts at Microsoft.May 20 14:22
baronhk[m]1There's way more where Gates came from and some still show up for work every day.May 20 14:23
psydroidI give Windows about a decade until it's dead and buried or crematedMay 20 14:24
baronhk[m]1mjg59 was badmouthing an Android app that loads artwork that's not even obscene or questionable, yet they find hard drives and bankers boxes of VHS tapes and DVDs of actual child abuse going on spanning decades in the homes of people he refuses to speak of.May 20 14:25
baronhk[m]1What's wrong with this picture?May 20 14:25
trttlso his philanthropic image that he's been building in the past 20 years goes out the window(s)(r)? very sadMay 20 14:25
baronhk[m]1They enabled it by taking his bribe money to not report on how the Gates Foundation really operated.May 20 14:26
baronhk[m]1It did not achieve any actual results that could be called charitable. People are less educated and less healthy today than ever, but the Foundation promoted Microsoft products and funded unethical medical experiments mostly on the Global South where nobody sues and nobody cares what happens.May 20 14:28
psydroidIf anything it shows what is wrong with the world to let these perverts roam freely among us for such a long time and even enabling themMay 20 14:28
baronhk[m]1In the mean time, Bill doubled his money.May 20 14:28
baronhk[m]1The police only ever bust nobodies for child abuse.May 20 14:28
baronhk[m]1Rich people do pretty much anything they want and even after they are exposed there's no consequences.May 20 14:29
trttlthere are sometimes but they usually have the means to keep things private and avoid being exposedMay 20 14:30
baronhk[m]1Even if Gates was ever convicted of anything, the stain of a conviction matters to a guy who can't even get a job now and has no money, but it means nothing to someone who has $100 billion from back when nobody reported or investigated. It's an embarrassment at worst.May 20 14:30
schestowitz__we gotr some major newsMay 20 14:31
baronhk[m]1His wife leaving is humiliating enough. Most of these people are raving psychopaths who were married for show anyway, which is why divorce is so rare.May 20 14:31
schestowitz__we managed to change a very important EPO case, it seems...May 20 14:31
baronhk[m]1He was cheating. She used him for status. None of it matters to her as long as she can get places because of the marriage.May 20 14:32
schestowitz__The easiest solution seems to be to continue with the publication of the series as written (with a note to alert readers about the latest development).May 20 14:32
baronhk[m]1He's gone from asset to liability.May 20 14:32
schestowitz__A short "post scriptum" update can be provided to explain the implications of the interlocutory decision of 17 May. May 20 14:32
schestowitz__trueMay 20 14:32
baronhk[m]1If it wasn't for the marriage, Melinda French would have been a Microsoft footnote that was asked to leave the company after Bob.May 20 14:33
baronhk[m]1Not a divorced billionaire that people feel sorry for because she "only became aware" of Bill's actions recently.May 20 14:34
baronhk[m]1That's how you move on after you're exposed. Play the victim. "I was appalled to find out about this recently and I moved as quickly as I could to leave him.".May 20 14:35
baronhk[m]1Anyway, the vestiges of Internet Explorer will live on indefinitely, but it will look like it was removed.May 20 14:36
baronhk[m]1Nobody will notice because they have plenty of space for crap like this to linger forever.May 20 14:37
baronhk[m]1Rest assured that it will keep causing security issues as part of the platform and you simply won't know about most of them. If you look closely you will continue to see new versions of its constituent dll files in the Windows 10 updates.May 20 14:38
baronhk[m]1"Microsoft is promising to support this IE mode in Edge until through at least 2029."May 20 14:39
baronhk[m]1Meaning it has another 8 years left, by which time it's not even clear that there will be a Windows.May 20 14:39
baronhk[m]1They made it official that they killed Windows 10 X yesterday.May 20 14:40
baronhk[m]1They've encouraged bad design choices around IE and by the time the dlls go away some corporations will still be complaining about removal of a DOM implementation that's over thirty years old.May 20 14:41
baronhk[m]1The default for Local Intranet Zone is IE 5 Mode.May 20 14:42
baronhk[m]1And that doesn't change in IE Mode for Edge.May 20 14:42
baronhk[m]1What does change is that the IE components run behind a bigger blast door using a virtual machine walled off from the rest of the system and the graphics are remotely displayed into Edge. This is just bad design.May 20 14:43
baronhk[m]1It doesn't actually move forward because the only way you do that with these companies is to take out the cattle prod.May 20 14:44
baronhk[m]1Walmart's intranet still has pages that only work in IE.May 20 14:44
baronhk[m]1I went to put down myself as beneficiary for my spouse's retirement and stuff because he opened the page for that....It wanted to load an ActiveX control which didn't do anything even in Edge.May 20 14:46

*tr_guest|62033 has quit (Client Quit)May 20 16:35
trttlfrom what i understood what happened is not that complicatedMay 20 16:46
trttlthe then current now former staff was unhappy with the consequences of the agreements between christel and andrew lee (which is understandable and i think their concerns were/are very legit), so they took action and tried to force both of them outMay 20 16:46
trttlthey succeeded with christel but the whole plot backfired when they wanted the domains and realized andrew lee/his company is the legal owner of the domains and likely has the legal right to use the freenode nameMay 20 16:46
trttlguess that was the point when it became clear what time it was and they started putting together their own networkMay 20 16:46
trttland resignation drafts started leaking when things were more or less readyMay 20 16:47
XRevan86trttl: I don't understand how tomaw got a hold on the domains account?May 20 16:47
XRevan86rasengan gave it and then tomaw removed rasengan from it?May 20 16:47
trttlmaybe the head of staff had access because andrew lee trusted christel but christel handed over her credentials to tomaw when she resignedMay 20 16:54
XRevan86trttl: That doesn't sound plausible.May 20 16:54
trttlbecause?May 20 16:55
XRevan86trttl: "after Christel had resigned, I was approached by the new Head of Staff, tomaw, who asked if he could have ownership over the domains. I responded with my wish to decentralize the network. Subsequently, I learned I was locked out of the account a few days later."May 20 16:56
XRevan86Was that response a deny?May 20 16:57
trttli think so yesMay 20 16:57
XRevan86Then how did tomaw get access?May 20 16:58
trttljust because you can log in to some account doesn't mean it's yoursMay 20 16:58
XRevan86trttl: I have a feeling like when rasengan talks about the account, he means something relating to freenode itself, not to the domains.May 20 16:59
XRevan86maybe his own personal account on the network?May 20 17:00
trttlliterally says he wanted ownership over the domainsMay 20 17:00
trttlwhich was deniedMay 20 17:00
trttlyou can argue that andrew lee is lying but then there's not much to talk aboutMay 20 17:00
XRevan86trttl: I argue that he wrote the explanation in such a way that it is open to interpretation.May 20 17:01
trttlwell that's my interpretationMay 20 17:03
trttlanyway the damage was done 4 years ago. if you sell something you can expect that the buyer would want to own itMay 20 17:06
XRevan86trttl: Um, I think Libera.Chat can agree with that, so they left.May 20 17:06
XRevan86trttl: Ariadne wrote this: "Historically, freenode staff had stated that everything was under control and that Andrew’s involvement in freenode limited had no operational impact on the network.  It turns out that Christel was lying to them: Andrew had operational control and legal authority over the freenode domains.  This lead to several current volunteers drafting their resignation letters."May 20 17:07
XRevan86Her twist on it is not unique, it's just the one I have currently open in my browser.May 20 17:08
trttli read this and i don't see how is this contradicting what i said earlierMay 20 17:09
XRevan86trttl: "Ye voted for Putin in 2000, hadn't ye, now suck it up" is not a valid argument.May 20 17:10
trttlexcuse me?May 20 17:10
rasenganXRevan86: I'm in and out right now, but in regard to your question about the account - it was the domain that I was locked out of (which I had previously had full access to).May 20 17:10
XRevan86rasengan: So the head of Freenode staff had full access to the domains too?May 20 17:11

rasenganFor sureMay 20 17:12
CrystalMathschestowitz__: in other words, i stand in support of freenodeMay 20 17:12
XRevan86rasengan: So tomaw got access to the account as head of staff and then changed the password while not being the proper owner of that account?May 20 17:14

rasenganXRevan86: Almost -- what he did was he added 2FA which only he had the secondary auth for (and refused to disable it).May 20 17:16
XRevan86rasengan: How did he justify that? Security?May 20 17:16
trttllolMay 20 17:17
rasenganThere really was no justification.May 20 17:23
rasenganThe timing having happened after asking me for ownership is why I struggle to justify that action.May 20 17:23
XRevan86What does "ownership" mean here? He wanted the domain names to be transferred to him from Freenode, Ltd.?May 20 17:24
rasenganYesMay 20 17:24
XRevan86rasengan: One interpretation that comes to mind: tomaw after expelling christel saw that Freenode, Ltd. has control over the network and wanted to physically restrict that. Since legal measures (domain transfer) didn't work, he went for taking away operational control by adding 2FA, making himself the only person that could do things with the domains.May 20 17:33
XRevan86rasengan: I haven't talked to tomaw or anyone else from that camp, but it feels like the whole thing revolves around trust issues.May 20 17:34
rasenganXRevan86: Or so they say. ;)May 20 17:35
XRevan86rasengan: tomaw clearly wanted to completely remove you from the equation. And ye clearly see him as someone who got hold on power and used it to usurp the whole network.May 20 17:36
rasenganXRevan86: I'm going to share a timeline of events that's far more detailed with screenshots today to make it much more clear what was going on to everyone.May 20 17:36
XRevan86rasengan: On an unrelated note, has anyone who wanted to resign changed their mind?May 20 17:38
XRevan86Haven't heard of such an event, but it seems like a possibility and be good to know.May 20 17:38
rasenganXRevan86: Not that I know of.May 20 17:39
XRevan86rasengan: How many people are left? Surely the network now needs to elect a new head of staff, a new head of web development, etc.May 20 17:41
rasenganThere are a few steps still to take but I agree with you on thatMay 20 17:43

XRevan86nirvana talks about this very serious matter like it's a joke.May 20 18:13
MinceRperhaps it's not as serious as most people thinkMay 20 18:14
XRevan86MinceR: Ariadne talks about a governance model, nirvana talks about "ill make sure you get +oO in #freenode"May 20 18:14
rasenganHey, so regarding nirvana, I'm pretty sure by the time he and Ariadne were speaking this had been about securing freenode, period.May 20 18:17
rasenganAs for the rest of the conversation he and Ariadne had, I think that's quite a bit taken out of context -- they are (or rather, I'd say were) friends and had worked together on things together in the past.  That's how they spoke to each other usually (you can see how Ariadne really speaks in the freenode-staff-discussion log).May 20 18:18
XRevan86schestowitz__: > (23:30:44) Ariadne: we are going to dissolve freenode limited and transfer the freenode assets to either the software freedom conservancy or linux foundationMay 20 18:18
rasenganUnfortunately, it appears there was a motive and agenda behind the conversation, logging of it and release thereof.May 20 18:18
alextee[m]^ lol is that real?May 20 18:19
alextee[m]or joking?May 20 18:19
XRevan86alextee[m]: It's Ariadne's suggestion on what should be done.May 20 18:20
MinceRi still find the idea of trusting the LF or the SFC with anything to be ludicrousMay 20 18:20
alextee[m]linux foundation and software freedom conservancy are the most corrupt organizations involved with free softwareMay 20 18:20
alextee[m]linux foundation even gives 100% of its proceeds to fund things completely unrelated with linux nor free softwareMay 20 18:21
XRevan86rasengan: I'm still reading through, it feels like nirvana hasn't dived into the situation at all and was only there to recruit, and it wasn't what Ariadne wanted to hear at all.May 20 18:22
alextee[m]not sure where that page is now but it used to say 100% of donations will be used to fund inclusivity and diversityMay 20 18:22

*XRevan86 mentioned that while reading the /kill portion of the paste.May 20 18:30
XRevan86rasengan: Yea, I think that conversation clashed with Ariadne's vision of the Freenode's future very harshly.May 20 18:36
XRevan86Ho, I didn't know tomaw is uninvolved with Libera.Chat either.May 20 18:36
XRevan86So he was just thrown out everywhere?May 20 18:36
MinceRhe's also involved with OFTCMay 20 18:37
MinceRi guess we'll find out what his relationship with freenode and libera is on the long termMay 20 18:37
XRevan86MinceR: rasengan's involvement is pretty much to kick out tomawMay 20 18:38
XRevan86MinceR: (00:00:44) Ariadne: you see it as an attack against freenode, when in reality, they are boycotting both you and tomaw.May 20 18:39
XRevan86MinceR: And that's what kaniini writes about Libera.Chat in that paste.May 20 18:39
MinceRoh, i missed that tomaw stopped showing up in freenode/staff/*May 20 18:40

baronhk[m]1The Chief of Security for the company says quite a few friends of his ended up with malware on their Macs.May 20 23:37
baronhk[m]1He told the judge that if they lifted the app store lockdown then the same thing would happen to iOS.May 20 23:37
baronhk[m]1Gatekeeper on the Mac can be turned off from the terminal. In the default state, however, you can't install anything that isn't either from the app store or at least signed by Apple.May 20 23:39
baronhk[m]1Most Mac malware just figures out how to get around signing by tricking Apple into giving them a developer certificate.May 20 23:39
baronhk[m]1So Gatekeeper doesn't do much. It prevents people from running random binaries they found somewhere unless that attacker is determined to evade signing by abusing Apple's process, which does happen.May 20 23:40
