●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Thursday, July 21, 2022 ●● ● Jul 21 [00:00] DaemonFC Man, they really do start younger and younger, don't they? [00:00] DaemonFC A four year old shooting at the police. FOUR! [00:01] DaemonFC My cousin's kid is 6 and he's still running around the house playing with toys shouting to everyone that he made a big boy poop. Meanwhile, in Chicago, they're fucking 4 and smoking crack and shooting at cops. [00:01] DaemonFC People wonder why I hate it here. [00:03] britney lol [00:03] britney Haven't you ever seen Robocop 2? [00:07] *aliosablack has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [00:08] britney I wonder how many reptilians program in python [00:08] DaemonFC Those just got worse and worse. [00:12] DaemonFC britney, I'm taking the 2008 Minnesota election as proof that there are lizard people. [00:12] DaemonFC In awarding Al Franken the contested ballot, the judge admitted that lizard people are real and Al Franken is one of them. [00:13] DaemonFC By simple deductive reasoning that Norm Coleman didn't get the ballot, we can conclude that Coleman isn't a lizard person. [00:13] DaemonFC Therefore, there's a way to flush out the lizard people. [00:14] DaemonFC In every election on the ballot that has a Write-In candidate, we need to either start a Write-In campaign to put "Lizard Person" in the space provided and then checkmark all of the listed candidates. [00:15] DaemonFC Then we force a recount and see which "person" the judge awards the ballot to, and they're the Lizard Person, because the law says the intent of the voter is what should prevail. [00:15] DaemonFC MinceR, ^ [00:15] britney DaemonFC, fair enough [00:16] DaemonFC Only one person needs to have put "Lizard Person" in order to contest the ballot during a recount and see how the judge rules. [00:16] britney I think there are two major factors in lizard people [00:16] britney global warming - reptilians want it warm [00:17] britney eating bugs - the world economic forum is now promoting bugs to eat [00:17] britney reptiles like bugs [00:17] DaemonFC In a Ranked Choice Voting system, like Maine's, you could vote Lizard Person, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian.......or is that Lizardtarian? [00:17] DaemonFC We'll just have to see who they award it to. [00:17] britney https://cerberusinvestigations.neocities.org/reptilian-agenda.html [00:17] MinceR 21 011241 < DaemonFC> In awarding Al Franken the contested ballot, the judge admitted that lizard people are real and Al Franken is one of them. [00:17] MinceR i wonder how that works [00:18] britney Roy's bot is still broken lol [00:18] MinceR if there were two votes for two different people, even with one of them crossed out, it would have been an invalid vote, but since both votes are for the same person, it counts? [00:19] MinceR Lizardarian... wait, no, that's someone who eats lizards [00:19] britney schestowitz-TR, i broke TechrightsBot-tr [00:20] britney https://cerberusinvestigations.neocities.org/schwab-crickets.jpg [00:25] *psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving) [00:25] *psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving) [00:28] MinceR (cat) https://rimgo.bcow.xyz/gallery/QXe7xiF [00:35] britney you're going to eat the crickets because our reptilian overlords say they're delicious [00:41] britney https://www.cricketflours.com/ [00:46] *psydroid2 sends giant frogs after the lizards at the WEF [00:49] psydroid2 Beelzebufo will rule them all [00:49] bagira are those gay frogs though? [00:50] DaemonFC if there were two votes for two different people, even with one of them crossed out, it would have been an invalid vote, but since both votes are for the same person, it counts? [00:52] MinceR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPs3EeRyL9Y [00:52] britney its either a vote for a hive mind neanderthaller backed candidate or a reptilian one [00:52] *SomeH4x0r is now known as techuser [00:52] britney both play humanity like a giant game of chess [00:52] DaemonFC Two votes plus Lizard People = Whoever the judge awards it to is a Lizard Person / One Vote Plus Lizard People = If judge decides it's valid, that means the person who gets it is a Lizard Person / Lizard Peopls plus three votes = The person who got the vote is a Lizard Person, but we can't rule out the other two either. / Lizard People plus multiple votes and judge throws it out....Nobody gets the vote, but none of them are Lizard People. [00:52] MinceR britney: how do i vote for Cthulhu? [00:53] britney MinceR, write it in [00:53] MinceR DaemonFC: what's the legal principle behind all this? [00:53] DaemonFC Intent of the voter, plus the fact that the judge is definitely a lizard person but is bound by Admiralty Law due to the courts being replaced by the Corporate State. [00:53] DaemonFC Or so I'm told. [00:54] DaemonFC So the judge definitely knows which one is the Lizard. [00:55] DaemonFC They don't allow non-Lizard judges. In fact, if you ever hire an Attorney, he's a Lizard too. That's why you don't understand a thing they're talking about up there. They say it's Latin, but that's only because Latin is a corrupt form of the Lizard Language. The people in the Roman Empire were given their civilization by the Lizards. [00:56] DaemonFC They only lost it when the Lizard People went into the Lizard Schism. [00:56] MinceR DaemonFC: what's the rule on voting for multiple people at the same time? [00:56] DaemonFC That's why Rome fell, but the schools don't teach history. [00:56] DaemonFC DaemonFC: what's the rule on voting for multiple people at the same time? [00:57] DaemonFC Legally, it spoils the ballot unless the voter's clear preference can be unambiguously determined. So if you also say you want the Lizard People, then your intent can be determined. [00:57] britney history = his story, or hi story [00:57] MinceR DaemonFC: i see [00:57] *MinceR goes to learn some lizardry [00:58] DaemonFC Donald Trump was overthrown before he could unmask who the pedophiles and Lizard people were. It turned out that Mike Pence was a pedophile lizard and that that's why people wanted to hang him. [00:58] MinceR Lizard People + 3 votes can get thrown out even if more than 1 of those people is a lizard [00:58] MinceR since it's ambiguous (you wanted Lizard People, but which?) [00:59] MinceR also... They're taking the DMT to Isengard! [00:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 26.48 k/sec., IPFS upstream 23.21 average k/sec., average swarm size 0 [00:59] DaemonFC Ah, yes, that would be a spoiled ballot. [00:59] DaemonFC But could you slip in that the judge's preferred Lizard candidate should get the ballot? [00:59] DaemonFC :) ● Jul 21 [01:00] DaemonFC Or that you don't mind which Lizard Person gets it as long as it's a Lizard Person? [01:00] MinceR i don't think your system has that option [01:00] DaemonFC I don't know if you ever run out of space to type. [01:00] DaemonFC You could type in Lizard People, because there's definitely names with that many letters in them. [01:04] DaemonFC https://www.npr.org/2022/07/20/1105843501/electoral-count-act-changes-pence-january-6th [01:08] DaemonFC https://www.npr.org/2022/07/19/1112335543/netflix-second-quarter [01:08] DaemonFC LOL [01:08] DaemonFC "Netflix loses nearly 1 million subscribers. That's the good news" [01:09] DaemonFC https://www.npr.org/2022/07/19/1112318803/uk-100-degree-heat-dangerous [01:09] DaemonFC It's fitting that the heat wave affects the UK. [01:10] DaemonFC The English speaking world has the lowest level of scientific literacy, it seems. Enough carrot. [01:12] MinceR i do not carrot all. [01:12] *psydroid2 has quit (connection closed) [01:13] bagira what is a "mentally compromised state" [01:14] bagira is that drugs [01:14] bagira not that it would matter [01:16] MinceR DaemonFC: "The first lizard person appearing on the list above" [01:50] DaemonFC I got a stubborn Web site to work by setting a domain-specific User Agent for it and saying SeaMonkey was Safari on an iPad. [01:52] earthling what's why W3C standards are good [01:52] earthling can't just say it's HTML4 Loose capable, and expect it loaded [01:54] MinceR they're not good [01:54] MinceR HTML5 promotes nonfree codecs and includes support for DRM [01:55] earthling WASM [01:55] earthling w3m|links|lynx are still capable and a joy to use [01:55] britney I love lynx [01:56] earthling takes some time to adapt back to sanity, after decades of mental torture [01:56] earthling didn't use any modern browser almost 2 years now [01:57] earthling while ago, migrated to netsurf, then backed down further, 6months now w3m/links/lynx [01:58] earthling it's a bliss, particularly with gentoo, the browser malware from google/micros~1/moz removed alone saves hours and weeks of work and compilation time [01:58] britney mozilla is malware? [01:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 26.48 k/sec., IPFS upstream 23.21 average k/sec., average swarm size 0 [01:59] earthling Webkit/Epiphany which FSF promotes too is malware, all of it... chromium, moz, webkit [01:59] britney how is it malware? [01:59] earthling and those offer a malware execution runtime on top, with wasm ● Jul 21 [02:00] earthling because it meets the definition of malware 100% [02:00] earthling including Epiphane which FSF promotes, shame on them [02:00] earthling *Epiphany [02:00] britney what is your definition of malware? [02:01] earthling it is pure malice, don't know where to begin [02:01] britney ok [02:01] earthling first, it is impossible to review the monstrosity [02:02] britney im guessing your definition of malware is, doesn't run on a pentium4 or less ? [02:02] earthling chromium, how much is it, the source bundle... more than 1GiB of crap delivered once or twice a week [02:02] britney I use firefox and brave [02:02] earthling it is impossible to review, regardless of if a pentium4 could run it or not [02:02] earthling and a pentium4 can btw. [02:02] britney do you actually review the code of all the software you run? [02:03] earthling furthermore, _all_ those "browsers" in fact are nowadays a runtime, mostly for malicious code, unverifiable loaded onto the users computer [02:03] earthling it is pure evil [02:03] earthling btw. it is GNOME/Epiphany, althoug i do not distinguish gnome/fsf/gnu [02:04] earthling i would stuff them into a sack all at once, zip it, and grab a baton to beat [02:04] earthling impossible to hit anyone errornously inside [02:04] britney ok so we know you use w3m/links/lynx but what about irc client and mail client? [02:05] earthling mutt mailer seems decent [02:05] earthling and there is other options available [02:05] earthling with irc i prefer catgirl [02:05] earthling i think weechat and irssi linked against Glib and similar... no thanks [02:05] britney yeah, my favourite text based e-mail client is alpine but I still use claws-mail because I prefer GUI based apps [02:06] earthling i would have wanted to keep GTK, yet decided with the harfbuzz dependency chain a red line again was crossed by some other entities inside the sack of freedom to beat onto [02:06] earthling redhat,google,facebook [02:08] earthling GTK is missing standardization, and with GTK4 ahead i decided away with it once and for all [02:09] earthling initially, i didn't intend to wipe Glib for example [02:09] earthling yet when i realizded GNU/FSF/Gnome promote pure evil such as webkit/epiphany [02:10] earthling hey why not, simply check the origin, GNU/FSF license banner somewhere... away with it [02:10] britney I'd rather use Gnome than KDE [02:10] britney earthling, what are you using for a GUI? [02:10] earthling yaft and dvtm terminal multiplexer [02:11] earthling i would accept X11 and motif widget toolkit still, yet there isn't any benefit with those anymore [02:12] earthling if anyone was interested in repairing the netsurf-motif port to gentoo/linux prepared... that could be one candidate to reconsider X11 and motif at least [02:12] britney wait a second [02:12] britney you don't use XORG, X11 or Wayland? [02:12] earthling with X11, jwm window manager was ok, as far as dependencies were concerned [02:12] earthling britney: none of it, yes. [02:12] britney oh wow, you're hardcore [02:12] earthling although, i would accept X11/motif/jwm [02:13] earthling GNOME however is pure evil [02:13] earthling it wasn't, yet it has become [02:13] britney how is gnome "pure evil" [02:13] earthling harfbuzz/c++, and systemd/dbus [02:14] earthling X11 with jwm isn't that bad, although Xorg too was affected by some systemd clutter (evdev, and who knows what else) [02:15] earthling i still got the 100% clean no-systemd/no-udev/no-dbus X11/GTK profile archived [02:15] earthling no other distro got that [02:15] earthling however, i am not willing to maintain pentagon malware [02:16] britney how is the pentagon involved in udev and dbus? [02:16] britney i can understand why people don't like systemd but what does udev and dbus fit into this [02:16] MinceR gnome has the MICROS~1 attitude >> https://imgur.com/pYuj8tW [02:16] earthling attention, besides technical facts, this is my opinion: systemd/dbus are a spyware middleware infrastructure [02:18] earthling brought to you by and promoted with FSF/GNU label, or am i mistaken about this "minor" little detail? [02:18] earthling and even if, there is good arguments to be made, for LAWFUL INTERCEPTION [02:18] earthling nonetheless, the entire technical design and implementation of this spyware isn't in compliance [02:18] britney I think it is insane that gnome removed the system tray icons [02:19] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2], The review of how SeaMonkey is doing is turning into a really long post. [02:19] DaemonFC It's clearly not doing well these days. [02:20] psydruid what would be totally cool is gnome removing itself [02:20] psydruid that would be the sanest thing they've ever done [02:20] DaemonFC You can make it work, but doing so generally requires advanced knowledge of how to set up a Mozilla-based browser, including creating about:config strings, modifying advanced settings, and looking for "legacy" versions of extensions that will still install and go ahead and work. [02:21] earthling with seamonkey you'll need even more vile crap to compile this at least, because rust, llvm [02:22] earthling which is insane amounts of source text impossible to review, maintain, or at least compile in a reasonable time [02:22] earthling or, you're going to tell me "free software" and "opensource" weren't supposed to be reviewed and compiled from source? [02:24] earthling of cause i am not willing to review everything, i only verify if it would be possible at least to dig into source text with an acceptable amount of effort and time [02:25] earthling some years ago, FSF/GNU too promoted mozilla malware [02:25] britney earthling, are you saying that you've read the source code for w3m/links/lynx ? [02:25] earthling i had to dig into all three of those for one or another reason [02:25] earthling withy lynx some security advisory cought my attention, with w3m i had some problem with gpm/mouse support etc... [02:26] britney mouse support without X11? [02:26] earthling with links it's still there [02:27] earthling for w3m i hacked some mouse cursor and paste-buffer into yaft [02:27] britney you have some pretty extreme views [02:27] DaemonFC It seems that as of 2012, SeaMonkey isn't even a part of Mozilla anymore. [02:27] DaemonFC It's a German non-profit. [02:27] earthling just some random tasks, which are useful to see, what source text of "free software" is made of [02:28] britney DaemonFC, why are you running SeaMonkey? [02:29] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) [02:29] britney ok lol [02:29] earthling i quit with maintaining an outdated seamonkey version when it didn't compile anymore, the build system of it alone is a horror show [02:29] earthling a nightmare [02:29] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@g64i3ftapqr3g.irc) has joined #techrights [02:29] DaemonFC Why not? [02:30] DaemonFC Yeah, I noticed Ubuntu dropped SeaMonkey years ago. [02:30] britney why not firefox? [02:30] DaemonFC I was going to mention that in my blog. [02:30] DaemonFC I installed it because I noticed Fedora still packages it. [02:30] britney SeaMonkey reminds me of Netscape 6 [02:34] bagira re: peter todd case, first filing eval did not go well, not seeing vindication yet: https://www.abuseonline.org/database/Garrett,%20Matthew/controversial/Reichwein,%20Sarah%20Michelle/starting_notes [02:34] britney DaemonFC, we both use the same version of hexchat [02:34] bagira im eager to get to the defense filings [02:34] DaemonFC I noticed.

[06:23] DaemonFC There's no good reason for this. [06:24] DaemonFC Most GNU/Linux distributions were chucking Netscape 4 in as the default browser, EVEN WHEN Mozilla Suite had been available for some time.

[06:35] DaemonFC :) [06:35] britney I think there was opera for win 3.x too [06:35] britney i think opera for 3.x was one of my first browsers [06:35] DaemonFC I tried that, and then removing it. You reboot, and IE isn't there again. [06:35] DaemonFC It deletes everything from IE, just as if you'd removed it from Windows 95. [06:36] DaemonFC So pretty much the only difference between Windows 98 and Windows 95 is Windows 98 would be what would happen if you added IE and the Shell Update to Windows 95 and then Microsoft didn't add an uninstaller routine. [06:36] DaemonFC Nothing more, nothing less. [06:36] DaemonFC Bill Gates testified that the "integration runs so deep that Windows 98 won't work anymore if you tried to remove Internet Explorer....you'd have a broken operating system". [06:37] DaemonFC I mean, there were some kernel improvements to Windows 98, but that's the only other difference. [06:38] DaemonFC britneyIE5 on Win 3.11 [06:38] DaemonFC IE 5 on Windows 95 and 98 was actually a Win32s application. [06:38] DaemonFC You could run it on Windows 3.11 with Win32s. [06:38] DaemonFC It was only with IE 6 that that stopped working. [06:39] britney aha [06:39] DaemonFC Microsoft did that so they could share the binaries. [06:39] britney 16-bit mIRC still works too, as long as the irc server doesn't need SSL [06:39] DaemonFC All IE 5 had to do was add Win32s to Windows 3.1 and then it ran, and it was the same binaries you had on Windows 9x. [06:39] DaemonFC There were some changes though, iirc. [06:40] DaemonFC The Windows 3.1 package didn't have some features that the platform didn't support. [06:40] britney Microsoft used to have a BBS where you could download Win32s and other addons and patches [06:40] DaemonFC But there were actually almost no code differences in IE for Windows 3, 9x, and UNIX. [06:40] DaemonFC They ported some of Windows to UNIX to get the Windows code in IE for UNIX to run. [06:41] britney lol [06:41] britney Now there is Microsoft Edge for Linux [06:41] DaemonFC If you look in the directories, they just pretty much took C:\Windows\System32 (or most of it) and turned them into .so files instead of .dll. Even the names are the same. [06:41] britney You can get Edge, Powershell and Visual Studio Code for Linux [06:41] britney SQL server too [06:42] DaemonFC IE for UNIX isn't something many people used because it was almost impossible to keep it working. [06:42] DaemonFC If you didn't have the right "patch level" of Solaris, it would either crash IE or bring down the entire operating system as soon as you launched IE. [06:42] DaemonFC I don't know what the situation was for HP-UX. [06:42] DaemonFC Probably just as bad. [06:43] DaemonFC Then the porting company, MainWin, leaked about a third of the source code to Windows NT4/2000. [06:43] DaemonFC They lost a laptop with Microsoft's porting kit on it from the IE for UNIX project. [06:43] DaemonFC And it spilled out onto the Internet. [06:44] DaemonFC So there's a lot of source code for Windows out there, at least earlier versions of it, floating around on the Internet. [06:44] DaemonFC I think most of Windows XP leaked a couple of years ago. [06:45] britney i vaguely remember that [06:45] DaemonFC The funny part is that you get bugs that go all the way from Windows NT 3.1 to Windows 10 or 11, things like that. [06:45] DaemonFC Tavis Ormandy found a very serious security problem in NTVDM, the 16-bit version. [06:45] DaemonFC That doesn't affect Windows 11 though, and none of them do. [06:46] DaemonFC Why? Microsoft ripped out all compatibility with Windows 3.1 and earlier and DOS from Windows 11. There's no 32-bit version. [06:46] DaemonFC You can still run all kinds of Windows 3 software in Wine. [06:46] DaemonFC I have some. I have the Microsoft Entertainment Packs with things like Chip's Challenge. [06:47] DaemonFC It will still run Office 6. [06:48] DaemonFC George R.R. Martin still uses WordStar, for DOS, and it's not even the latest version. [06:48] DaemonFC I think someone set it up in DOSBox for him. [06:49] DaemonFC He said he tried to sit down and use Microsoft Office within the past several years and it was so bad it was stopping him from getting anything done. [06:49] DaemonFC So he went back and continued using WordStar. [06:50] DaemonFC I remember trying to do my school assignment, and this fucking paperclip pops up and asks if I need any help. [06:50] DaemonFC I ended up using StarOffice for a while. [06:52] DaemonFC There were no good, fully featured, office programs, back then. There was basically just Star and Corel if you didn't want to use Microsoft's. I already knew I didn't want to use Corel. [06:52] britney I liked WordPerfect [06:52] DaemonFC Corel was an interesting company that had a GNU/Linux distribution that went ahead and worked. It had some oddities. [06:53] DaemonFC They replaced the file manager from KDE with "Corel File Manager". I never did see why. [06:53] DaemonFC Corel's was proprietary. [06:54] britney WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows 3.x was amazing [06:54] DaemonFC Yeah, but that was Corel at their heyday. [06:54] DaemonFC Later on it was just this bizarre office suite that cost a lot of money even though it had no Microsoft compatibility at all, and there was an activation server. [06:55] DaemonFC In the early 2000s, I wrote an article sharply critical of Windows XP. [06:56] DaemonFC It got quite a bit of traffic and I made some commission money on it. I don't think anything backed it up though when Epinions went under.

[21:40] earthling of cause it does [21:40] britney earthling is pretty cool, i'd never be able to handle running a TUI [21:40] earthling although, this depends on use case, because dvtm too can be used for "screen sharing" over ssh, really depends [21:40] prurigro yaft's 256 colour support sounds nice vs a vterm [21:41] earthling prurigro: it is!
