MinceR

when?

*techrights_guest|99 has quit (Quit: Connection closed)

MinceR

their enemies are waiting for the best moment to silence them

*XRevan86 wondered if MinceR has a more important point to make other than an IRC network of choice.

XRevan86

There's always systemd.

activelow

situation is, i do not want win3.11 win95 or any vista for very specific reasons. and those same reasons apply to almost all gnu/linux systems too

activelow

if video-decoding required any proprietary GPU (and ALL of them are, at hardware level), then i rather chose to not watch any videos at all than be brainwashed into thinking it was free and open source systems

MinceR

XRevan86: FSF did not maneuver itself into a disaster regarding systemd, they merely abandoned their mission

Aug 21 00:09

schestowitz

schestowitz

fsf played safe

Aug 21 00:11

schestowitz

awesome person btw

Aug 21 00:11

schestowitz

but... he had priorities to juggle

Aug 21 00:11

activelow

video decoding into an X11 buffer without opengl fails

activelow

maybe framebuffer is possible without any GPU voodoo

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Villa: Setting new expectations for open source maintainers [LWN.net]

schestowitz

red hat corporate shilling

schestowitz

villa/moz/red hat founders

schestowitz

"maintainers"

activelow

i mean, a pentium-150 already could render PAL-resolution video, let me do some calculus

schestowitz

they have a new name for community

schestowitz

"maintainers"

schestowitz

servants

schestowitz

slaves

schestowitz

for corporations

activelow

i mean, a pentium-150 already could render PAL-resolution video, i'll calculate a little... moment

schestowitz

with a shallow facade of "inclusion"

schestowitz

they certainly think their "slaves" are that stupid

schestowitz

and when the "slaves" speak out they accuse them of "isms"

schestowitz

when fronting or presenting themselves with "diversity" 'managers'

schestowitz

controlled by the Board

schestowitz

disgusting

schestowitz

it was not like this when GNU started

schestowitz

now a bunch of greedy businessmen change all the words

schestowitz

hackers are "maintainers"

schestowitz

unpaid volunteers

schestowitz

IBM staff is "community"

activelow

DVD/PAL resolution was 576x480, FullHD is 1920x1080, approximately 8x the amount of bandwidth required, and given 1.2GHz is roughly 8x the performance of a pentium-150

activelow

and, true full-hd is rarely required

schestowitz

if RMS speaks out about this they will accuse him of eating babies

schestowitz

they also flang "Epstein at him

schestowitz

when the real scandal was MIT/Gates

schestowitz

then, in March, they try a whole bunch of isms

schestowitz

and it blow in their faces

schestowitz

Bully The Blank became the "fall man"

activelow

something is broken in X11 graphics stack, somehow no direct access to hardware, screwed buffering

schestowitz

GNOME Foundation had her fall on a sword

schestowitz

corporattions throwing people under the busy

schestowitz

*bus

schestowitz

people who foolishly think they'll end up on top of the end

schestowitz

not the top of Chris Lamb's groin

schestowitz

sacrificial lambs

schestowitz

on the record, I don't think BUlly DB is a horrible person

schestowitz

just misguided and opportunistic

schestowitz

with bipolar disorder, which she publicly admits, she wrongly assumed she'd end p revered and famous

schestowitz

the opposite happened

schestowitz

like 'prince' Lee

schestowitz

who deluded himself into thinking he was creating a new world of kingdom of empire

schestowitz

total crackpot

activelow

what empire? a GPU bitcoin mining paradise?

schestowitz

he's into crackpotcoin too

activelow

tbh, i do not know

schestowitz

'crypto'charlatans

schestowitz

"I'm a billionaire.... I have a pile of hard drives to prove my "wealth"..."

activelow

since i was talking about the GPU crap, this is a trillion dollar business

schestowitz

yes, well... many drives and GPUs sell because of this global-warming crap

schestowitz

solving useless equation

schestowitz

to 'mint' supposed currency

schestowitz

which few actually accept as a barter

schestowitz

and fewer over time

schestowitz

some whole nations ban it

schestowitz

the wold's biggest nations, e.g. china and india

schestowitz

like 3 billion people

schestowitz

whether this is justified or not is another matter

schestowitz

practicality and pragmatism

schestowitz

like Mr. Lee crazily thinking N Korea AND South Korea would laid die their weapons and welcome him as kind of some unified nation

activelow

tbh again, occasionally i like to play a video game, but i do not see the benefit of GPUs/OpenGL

schestowitz

I guess drugs can change a person's perspective

schestowitz

activelow: good games don't rely on fancy graphics

schestowitz

gameplay was sacrificed back in the 90s

schestowitz

I'd rather play Monkey Island than Max Payne

activelow

GPU-acceleration is a leftover from times when CPUs were not powerful enough, and the software/CPU path wasn't optimized anymore

schestowitz

and... I MIGHT even learn something

schestowitz

activelow: it's like SGI machines in your box

schestowitz

the people who did Silicon Graphics, Cray etc.

schestowitz

doing the same at micro level

activelow

and, it is a trillion dollar business now, to sell electronic waste

schestowitz

on transistors that are more energy-efficient

schestowitz

activelow: exactly!

schestowitz

also to suck iup tons of power

schestowitz

which mostly turns into heat afaik

schestowitz

unlike with fanless machines

activelow

schestowitz: it is both efficience and economy, GPUs are NOT economic, most require 150Watts ore more for the GPU alone

schestowitz

like my fanless laptop and SBC

schestowitz

no fans on these... no need!

schestowitz

people have come to expect heat sinks and big fans in laptops

schestowitz

and when it heat up too much the laptops throttle the CPU or shut down to save themselves from melting

schestowitz

bad design

schestowitz

bye, x86

activelow

early x86 systems (i386) rarely required any heatsink, or tiny ones only

schestowitz

to write articles and read aricles (gemini, no JS) you don't need fans

schestowitz

today's articles I wrote outdoors on an arm laptop

activelow

neither for games, "HPC"

activelow

that's the irony, and the entire industry had to cut down more than 90% at that front alone

activelow

to rediscover the benefits of capitalism and economic behaviour

schestowitz

Google Stadia

MinceR

21 012326 <~schestowitz> just misguided and opportunistic

MinceR

21 012350 <~schestowitz> with bipolar disorder, which she publicly admits, she wrongly assumed she'd end p revered and famous

schestowitz

who needs PC buses

MinceR

sounds like a horrible person to me

schestowitz

let the Cisco et al routers pass some screen output

schestowitz

from multi GPU server farms

schestowitz

that burn the planet

MinceR

21 012909 <~schestowitz> I'd rather play Monkey Island than Max Payne

MinceR

i prefer doom 2 to both :>

schestowitz

doom 2 was energy efficient

schestowitz

it had to be

schestowitz

machines like 200mhz=mmx

schestowitz

no gpu

MinceR

it also had a great concept and a great design

MinceR

much of which was later forgotten, sadly

schestowitz

I still have the doom2 executable on some drivers

schestowitz

activelow: yes, same for the web

schestowitz

give more hardware capacity

schestowitz

and then they quit coding properly

schestowitz

"works fine for me"

schestowitz

"why don't you buy a NEW computer, what are you, stingy?"

schestowitz

"CNN loads fast for me"

Aug 21 00:37

schestowitz

all 9-18 codes load it in less than 5 seconds

Aug 21 00:37

schestowitz

*cores

Aug 21 00:37

kingoffrance

"3d game engine in just 10 lines of javascript" (ignore browser, os, drivers, ...) its kind of marketed that way

Aug 21 00:38

kingoffrance

i mean, theirs "articles" like that, just count the lines i show you, dont count actual total lines needed

Aug 21 00:38

kingoffrance

*they're

Aug 21 00:38

kingoffrance

i know what they mean, a high level api, but doesnt help

kingoffrance

*there are

schestowitz

one line of code for DOOM

kingoffrance

yes, main()

schestowitz

C:\>> DOOM2.EXE

Aug 21 00:40

schestowitz

I am hax0r

Aug 21 00:40

kingoffrance

lol that another reason its silly, you are supposed to sort of factor that way anyways to avoid spaghetti code

Aug 21 00:40

schestowitz

matlab has tons of that crap

Aug 21 00:41

schestowitz

many high--level APIs

Aug 21 00:41

schestowitz

hiding all the (IIRC) c code below... PROPRIETARY crap

Aug 21 00:41

activelow

prboom is opensource

Aug 21 00:45

activelow

not sure about the level design tools

Aug 21 00:45

MinceR

some of them are free software

Aug 21 00:46

MinceR

like Eureka

Aug 21 00:46

activelow

another advice: no GPU, no opengl, no "acceleration", drop all of what depends on it

schestowitz-TR

kde also?

schestowitz-TR

plasma?

activelow

sadly, video decoding without opengl is broken

activelow

schestowitz-TR: KDE does not require opengl

activelow

but KDE is a C++ monstrosity

schestowitz-TR

not requiring it strictly

MinceR

also, DEU and probably its descendants as well

schestowitz-TR

but the compositor makes use of it if enabled

MinceR

(Eureka is a DEU descendant too)

schestowitz-TR

support xrender, opengl2, and 3.1

activelow

i was thinking already to ditch X11 entirely

schestowitz-TR

then use what?

schestowitz-TR

wayland is even worse

activelow

framebuffer

schestowitz-TR

its steards and features

schestowitz-TR

*stewards

activelow

gtk is possible on framebuffer too

activelow

chances are, netsurf browser could work on framebuffer without x11

schestowitz-TR

what about framebuffer over ssh?

schestowitz-TR

or another transport layer?

MinceR

links2 works on something like that too, iirc

activelow

schestowitz-TR: pardon?

schestowitz-TR

you cannot get very far application support-wise without x

schestowitz-TR

activelow: ssh -X

activelow

framebuffer is the API exposed by kernel for direct hardware access, without any X-api in between

schestowitz-TR

and then also barrier and synergy

schestowitz-TR

you would end up with too primitive a setup

activelow

X11 isn't directly related to framebuffer, framebuffer is a kernel thing

schestowitz-TR

even RMS uses x and epiphany iirc

schestowitz-TR

x11 is an interface to it

schestowitz-TR

an efficient and robust one

schestowitz-TR

40 years to mature almost

activelow

ok, only responded to the idea to with SSH involved, since what is transported over ssh is X11 protocol, and not framebuffer

activelow

not saying X11 is bad, but i do NOT want to depend on it with anything i do

schestowitz-TR

that takes us way to far backwards

schestowitz-TR

technological primitivism

schestowitz-TR

not even figosdev went this far

MinceR

not wanting to depend on anything leads to code duplication and poorly designed architecture

schestowitz-TR

he just wanted to remove all stuff with shithub deps

activelow

MinceR: i refered to X11

activelow

and the history of it and the persons involved is noteworthy too, since it was DEC staff which developed both X11, and went to microsoft

MinceR

i see, but the more steps you take like that, the more painful it will get

schestowitz-TR

you want to writ directly to framebuffer?

schestowitz-TR

if so, which graphics driver?

MinceR

strange

schestowitz-TR

what motherboard?

schestowitz-TR

what screen port?

activelow

not at all MinceR

MinceR

how did that DEC staff forget everything they knew?

schestowitz-TR

vga?

activelow

yes VGA! very good argument, HDMI is crap.

schestowitz-TR

I have one unused vga screen... cannot find adapter for it, for now...

MinceR

it's like hardly anyone has the understanding that led to X existing

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Keith Packard: Richard Stallman Was Right (About the GPL) | Techrights

activelow

at least, i'll verify if video-out on framebuffer is possible without any "acceleration" and proprietary hardware/software

Aug 21 00:58

schestowitz

ftr/o[n]tr:

Aug 21 00:58

schestowitz

even openbsd gives x

schestowitz

startx

activelow

and, chances are, framebuffer console performanc will be superior to anything withing X11

schestowitz

and openbsd is very strict

activelow

openbsd didn't permit it, they implemented Xenocara

schestowitz

so use that

MinceR

it's great that they implemented it

MinceR

chances are it might survive x.org

schestowitz

in techrights.org over http should I make gemini:// links clickable?

Aug 21 01:53

schestowitz

is that considered good practice?

Aug 21 01:53

schestowitz

only on systems that have gemini clients and system-wide protocol association (like lagrange in kde; not sure about other combinations) will such links actually do something valuable inside a Web browser

MinceR

it's probably a good idea, as it's possible to configure some web browsers to launch a helper application with some URL schemas

schestowitz

OK, I will amend

schestowitz

maybe with some colour schem

MinceR

it's also easier to copy a link that way, as you don't need to select it

schestowitz

schema

schestowitz

MinceR: OK, let me have a go at it...... should take a few mins

Aug 21 01:55

schestowitz

maybe add an icon? don't want to add another image/object to each page tbh

Aug 21 01:55

maybe it's doable with unicode

(which I had while I was falling asleep, did not think this through)

Aug 21 02:00

schestowitz-TR

what if we embed in page the gemini version? using a web proxy...

Aug 21 02:01

MinceR

it would make the page heavier and ping the proxy

Aug 21 02:01

schestowitz-TR

yes, a privacy situation I thought about

Aug 21 02:02

MinceR

and wouldn't include any extra content, unless you want to get rid of the web version

Aug 21 02:02

schestowitz-TR

ok, try any page now

Aug 21 02:03

schestowitz-TR

Aug 21 02:03

it also automatically redirects to a web proxy -- part of a firefox extension

there is also the possibility of adding a button next to all headlines with some icon for gemini version

activelow: do you wear a mask and keep distance?

Aug 21 03:58

activelow

schestowitz: why?

Aug 21 03:58

schestowitz

I think that is the sole excuse for getting nothing in Germany

Aug 21 03:58

schestowitz

if you can avoid it for years... the virus

activelow

it cannot be avoided according to epidemic experts

schestowitz-TR

well, most Germans avoided it

schestowitz-TR

so far...

activelow

which?

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/germany/

activelow

more than 50% received a vaccination shot, which is now known to not protect against a "delta variant"

Aug 21 04:00

schestowitz

Aug 21 04:00

schestowitz

less than 5% of Germans confirmed to have had it

Aug 21 04:00

activelow

when? a "deadliest pandemic in 30years" was reported 2018 already, official data from RKI

MinceR

afaik it still protects against the delta variant, e.g. it greatly reduces the probability of severe symptoms

activelow

and testing was known to be unreliable, only detecting it within a few days or weeks of an infection

schestowitz

151,108 new covid-10 infection in US of "I'm fucking awesome" A yesterday alone

schestowitz

it spreads there more than in here already

Aug 21 04:02

schestowitz

"take THAT, Biden!"

Aug 21 04:02

activelow

i didn't believe any reporting anymore end of 2019 already, since then it was incitement and propaganda only

Aug 21 04:02

schestowitz

Aug 21 04:03

schestowitz

because orban is a genius

schestowitz

but not "incitement and propaganda"

"He went bankrupt the next year, but made a comeback in the late 1990s. Beginning in the mid-2000s, Popoff bought TV time to promote "Miracle Spring Water" on late-night infomercials, and referred to himself as a prophet.[3] "We've done so many stories about him, but it never does any good," said Ole Anthony, founder of Trinity Foundation, which has investigated Popoff and other faith healers since 1987. "His scams are endless."[4]"

i have to admit it's pretty funny to watch lunduke lock his twitter account and go hide like a little bitch

schestowitz-TR2

Ariadne: keel and miyoni are good

schestowitz-TR2

Ariadne: he is ruined

schestowitz-TR2

he deleted his youtube videos

Ariadne

what happened

schestowitz-TR2

and now he moans about the platform he chose instead

Ariadne

surely it wasn't the COVID chest beating

schestowitz-TR2

he said he wouldm quit twitter 3 times at least

schestowitz-TR2

and each time he broke his promise

XRevan86

Ariadne: Are people pointing out to him that past illness is no excuse for ignoring masks?

Ariadne

apparently he is banned from SeaGL

Ariadne

i guess because he refuses to vaccinate or mask

Ariadne

haha

schestowitz-TR2

my techrights collague says he is a "superspreader" or goes to "superspreader events"

schestowitz-TR2

which I didn't qiuite get until recently

XRevan86

He doesn't need to vaccinate I guess. Not that it wouldn't help.

schestowitz-TR2

because of some very tactless tweets

schestowitz-TR2

masks help prevent droplets from flying onto others

schestowitz-TR2

they mostly protect others from you in case you are an unwitting carrier

XRevan86

Though it also depends on when he was ill.

schestowitz-TR2

with very long hibernation period

Ariadne

XRevan86: vaccination is recommended even if you've already had it

schestowitz-TR2

people here barely wear masks anymore, even shopkeepers

schestowitz-TR2

which makes this place dangerous under Borisnaro

XRevan86

But either way, he cannot just conclude that he got it, it's in the past for him, he can just live a "normal life" ignoring anything that happens. Not how that works.

schestowitz-TR2

Ariadne: depends which one (I have read)

schestowitz-TR2

anyway, people will spread it regardless

Aug 21 05:14

schestowitz-TR2

and masks are needed even if 99% got some vaccine

Aug 21 05:14

schestowitz-TR2

because those 99% remain a carrier potential

Aug 21 05:14

schestowitz-TR2

I remember Lunduke complaining about Ballmer spitting at him

XRevan86

Ariadne: Right, but I don't care to find out the specifics of his situation to be able to give him advice.

Ariadne

i wonder why SeaGL banned him, i guess it happened last year

schestowitz-TR2

or rather, shouting at therm and leaving droplets of spit on his glasses

schestowitz-TR2

which I can totally believe

schestowitz-TR2

SeaGL is connected to some people

schestowitz-TR2

like past partner of Deb N iirc

http://techrights.org/2021/06/21/brand-dilution-lf/

schestowitz-TR2

and maybe he said something about someone (as he often does)

Aug 21 05:16

schestowitz-TR2

actually, I think Deb is directly responsible or was responsible for seagl

Aug 21 05:16

XRevan86

Anyway, people should educate him on these things, his view on the situation is very 2020.

schestowitz-TR2

Gates as shareholder

XRevan86

It's also ironic that even the Imperial Family Companies don't use freenode Jobs to hire.

schestowitz-TR2

any place he goes, it's a liability now...

schestowitz-TR2

esp. with him fainting over people discovering his strong links to Epstein, still on ongoing saga

Aug 21 05:34

phobos/jn

And no one held accountable except his Madame

phobos/jn

Re Epstein saga

XRevan86

Signs of life in Joseon :)

phobos/jn

not much life here

schestowitz-TR2

not yet

phobos/jn

* Current local users: 289 Max: 359

phobos/jn

* Current global users: 1550 Max: 1605

schestowitz-TR2

my guess is that some crypto-chain thing is next

schestowitz-TR2

to 'monetise' it somehow...

phobos/jn

They'll come... before he knows it, he'll have everyone on the planet signed up and chatting

XRevan86

phobos: Is it comfortable reading the channel when every message is relayed by a bot without anything like RELAYMSG?

phobos/jn

and an armored car will lose its payload in my driveway

phobos/jn

works for me

phobos/jn

should I be uncomfortable?

XRevan86

I would've.

schestowitz-TR2

yesterday I visited the kiwiirc site

schestowitz-TR2

last blog post 2017

schestowitz-TR2

about PIA providing money

phobos/jn

I'm also registered on the server you are on

schestowitz-TR2

Kiwi is nice.... so at least it's one good use of PIA loans

phobos/jn

Just using a different laptop and didn't feel like setting up the new net

schestowitz-TR2

phobos: makes sense...

XRevan86

It's weird that Joseon keeps slightly growing. I look around the Internet for pockets of people who support it and I just can't find anything. Even imageboards hate it.

schestowitz-TR2

I think PIA never become profitable and never will

schestowitz-TR2

it's priced below the competition

schestowitz-TR2

but like uber, it makes promises but no returns

schestowitz-TR2

all those other projects are play

schestowitz-TR2

one thing I don't get is,

schestowitz-TR2

PIA said privacy good

schestowitz-TR2

PIA blog says the same

schestowitz-TR2

but the freenode successor (it it can be called that) demands your real email

XRevan86

Even some trashy people that do channel raids, wipes and such moved out to… OFTC.

schestowitz-TR2

Shells is like keylogger on your desktop

*job has quit (connection closed)

schestowitz-TR2

and there are other contradiction on the issues of privacy

schestowitz-TR2

inc. all this "Apple everywhere" mindset

XRevan86

schestowitz: Which successor? Albeit it's both.

schestowitz-TR2

so privacy for "edgy" feel

schestowitz-TR2

but hardly in practice

Aug 21 05:42

schestowitz-TR2

XRevan86: the scraps left of freenode

Aug 21 05:42

XRevan86

schestowitz: Right, I thought ye are talking about Libera.

Aug 21 05:42

schestowitz-TR2

What's that? -D

Aug 21 05:43

XRevan86

Successor in every other way.

XRevan86: safety ride

schestowitz-TR2

or lifeboat

schestowitz-TR2

half the size of the original

schestowitz-TR2

I should get some sleep...

XRevan86

schestowitz: The other successor is 50 times smaller.

schestowitz-TR2

even worse

schestowitz-TR2

more like 60

XRevan86

I gave it some extra just in case it grows another hundred users.

Aug 21 05:46

XRevan86

schestowitz: Anyway, I have no doubt that Libera will continue slightly but stably growing long-term.

Aug 21 05:47

phobos/jn

I didn't know libera still existed... thought that would have imploded by now

Aug 21 05:48

phobos/jn

under the weight of liberalism and all that

Aug 21 05:48

XRevan86

phobos: It doesn't have an Andrew Lee to do the work.

Aug 21 05:49

phobos/jn

Nah... just all the old bleeding heart staffers that rage quit joseon and went there

Aug 21 05:49

phobos/jn

including... whatshisface... christels left hand man

Aug 21 05:49

phobos/jn

The one that is also involved in the patent nonsense over in the EU... can't remember his name

Aug 21 05:50

phobos/jn

Fuchs

Aug 21 05:51

XRevan86

phobos: It will implode any second now.

phobos/jn

Yeah...

XRevan86

Joseon will outlive it, just ye wait.

activelow

asked some time ago, saying i didn't believe their fairy tale they had not known about selling and cash involved

phobos/jn

Just between you and me, a thusfar unspoken secret, joseon ain't long for their world

phobos/jn

activelow: Did you get an answer?

Aug 21 05:53

phobos/jn

s/their/this

Aug 21 05:53

phobos/jn

damn autocorrect

Aug 21 05:53

activelow

some staff responded (including Fuchs iirc) and expressed some regret, otherwise i don't know anything

Aug 21 05:54

XRevan86

phobos: Joseon is on another plane? Ascending to the immaterial plane of existence?

Aug 21 05:54

phobos/jn

If thats your definition of death, then yes ;)

Aug 21 05:54

activelow

this christel too was involved with gentoo, asked them too since gentoo aligned with libera explicitely, but they didn't know anything either

Aug 21 05:55

phobos/jn

I'll dance a jig naked on the court house roof at lunch time on a friday if joseon still exists in 2 years

Aug 21 05:55

XRevan86

phobos: Ah, well, I was just joking around, I think that Libera may as well exist for decades to come, while Joseon might actually implode this year or the next.

Aug 21 05:56

activelow

phobos: exist what exactly? freenode service was wiped, irc.com service can operate with as many accounts as there are indefinitely.

Aug 21 05:57

XRevan86

Joseon is losing its reason to exist and so it will eventually stop.

Aug 21 05:57

XRevan86

activelow: The thing that is over the bridge.

Aug 21 05:58

activelow

ok. is this part of the irc.com database?

Aug 21 05:58

XRevan86

The expectation is that it will run out of excuses to be and will just stop.

Aug 21 05:58

XRevan86

activelow: That is correct, but it being part of the Joseon Empire completely overcasts that past achievement.

Aug 21 06:00

activelow

don't intend to interrupt your conversation. anyway, the emperor of irc.com had been the least dishonest. it had been libera to answer some questions: contracts, cash, elasticsearch cluster attached to freenode classic, ircv3 message IDs

Aug 21 06:01

XRevan86

activelow: Did ye see what Ariadne wrote the other day about her and Andrew Lee's involvement in Christel's "resignation"?

Aug 21 06:01

activelow

XRevan86: not yet, although i read backlogs regularly i missed that.

Aug 21 06:02

Ariadne

christ ,not this shit again

Aug 21 06:02

activelow

sorry then

Aug 21 06:03

*activelow shuts up

Aug 21 06:03

XRevan86

I was just messing about the pathetic existence of the bridge and the other side's inhabitants, and that resurfaced the whole topic.

Aug 21 06:03

activelow

i don't like the fact the bridge doesn't expose the participants and their numbers on the other side

Aug 21 06:04

XRevan86

activelow: Numbers?

Aug 21 06:04

XRevan86

activelow: Ah, the user count. Right.

Aug 21 06:05

activelow

yes, and joseon could have further bridges and proxies

Aug 21 06:05

XRevan86

activelow: It doesn't.

Aug 21 06:05

XRevan86

And every nickname is attached to an account unambiguously now, so it's not anonymous for sure.

Aug 21 06:06

XRevan86

In other words, nicknames from there are uniquely identifiable. Even more so than native users on this side.

i mean, you can argue non-techie people need "privacy too". that is separate of course 1) do they actually provide it 2) can all platforms be "secured"

*"privacy" too

Aug 21 07:02

kingoffrance

just i sort of see the angle there, not saying such a thing is possible even

Aug 21 07:02

i paint too broadly maybe, but i dont think that is wrong to say that is how some ppl might see it

schestowitz-TR2

I spoke to someone from there today

Aug 21 12:36

schestowitz-TR2

they dump lots of stocks on staff

Aug 21 12:36

schestowitz-TR2

maybe that helps avoid a crash when actual investors bail out

schestowitz-TR2

staff itself becomes stakeholder

schestowitz-TR2

and takes risk with a company (I'm told) valued 4 times as much as its real worth

schestowitz-TR2

then the risk if passed to low-level staff

schestowitz-TR2

where I work, I have no shares

schestowitz-TR2

so if the company goes under, I lose only future salaries

schestowitz-TR2

nothing else

schestowitz-TR2

the pensions tend to be separate too

schestowitz-TR2

but the principal issue is, all those scammy "pension" funds are vested deeply in the bubble "stock market"

schestowitz-TR2

so when the bubble bursts. pension firms will collapse too

sometimes things keep on existing without a reason to exist

MinceR

like non-redhat systemd distributions

schestowitz-TR2

I first read that as non-systemd

schestowitz-TR2

or non-redhat non-systemd

MinceR

it sort of works on my pinephone

MinceR

though recently it refused to boot from the microsd card

schestowitz-TR2

wayland?

schestowitz-TR2

or the OS?

MinceR

lol @ buoys

MinceR

waylandows

schestowitz-TR2

"BIG LINUX"

schestowitz-TR2

we need wayland, x is too fat

schestowitz-TR2

also:

schestowitz-TR2

we need phones with 8GB of RAM

MinceR

i can switch between waylandows (phosh) and x (sxmo) on it

schestowitz-TR2

but x is "fat"

other things that exist without a reason include idiot edgesploiter and failfox

edgesploiter

what about chromium

Aug 21 14:20

schestowitz-TR2

are its many clones any more benign than FRAILfox?

Google's only reason to keep FRAIL alive is antitrust

you could /list --YES

and then sort the output by number of users

schestowitz-TR2

draw that as a graph

it would say nothing about activity but show thresholds for live/dead channels

schestowitz-TR2

XRevan86: the sky is actually colourless ;-)

schestowitz-TR2

MinceR: maybe get the list of still-attended channels

schestowitz-TR2

and then we can analyse what those are

schestowitz-TR2

my guess is, political stuff

MinceR

how do you filter out the ones with 0 or insufficient users in them?

schestowitz-TR2

people who support Lee's politics

MinceR

i guess i can just put the list up somewhere

schestowitz-TR2

MinceR: Did you get raw output with /list --yes ?

yes

but I forgot the reason for the hue

Aug 21 14:45

If it looks blue, it is blue.

schestowitz-TR2

there's also red and blue shift in star gazing

XRevan86

It doesn't matter what processes lead to that.

The sky is not even a material thing, it only exists from the ground.

let me check the details...

Aug 21 14:47

There's no way to look at it from a different angle or something.

It's not an object.

"The daytime sky appears blue because air molecules scatter shorter wavelengths of sunlight more than longer ones (redder light)."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky

schestowitz

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Sky - Wikipedia

schestowitz

" Scattering is significant for light at all visible wavelengths, but is stronger at the shorter (bluer) end of the visible spectrum, meaning that the scattered light is bluer than its source: the Sun. The remaining direct sunlight, having lost some of its shorter-wavelength components, appears slightly less blue"

XRevan86

schestowitz: I know that. But again, the sky is not an object, how else would ye define what colour properties it has?

patents are trash anyway

Aug 21 21:43

Ariadne

well design patents are ok

Aug 21 21:43

Ariadne

but the rest of them are trash

Aug 21 21:43

Ariadne

also amazon sucks because amazon basics rips off other products and makes a crappy knockoff of them

Aug 21 21:44

Ariadne

i am very okay with design patents being enforced against amazon when they do that

Aug 21 21:44

schestowitz

trademarks or patents?

Ariadne

patents

schestowitz

they're some of the worst

schestowitz

and many countries do not allow them

Ariadne

i mean, they shouldn't be patents

Ariadne

but

Ariadne

i don't think it is cool that amazon, for example, is selling knockoff versions of things which are really much crappier than the real one

"knockoff" is a very broad concept
