[19:38] DaemonFC[m] Firefox is being ran by a bunch of crackpot social justice warriors and grifters who fired all of the engineers. [19:38] DaemonFC[m] Of course it's accumulating bugs and memory leaks and falling behind in web compatibility even when user agent shims are all it takes to get a site working. [19:39] DaemonFC[m] Microsoft Skype for the Web locks Firefox out, but everything works fine if you have Firefox lie to the site and say it's Edge or Chrome. [19:40] DaemonFC[m] This is exactly the kind of thing that used to happen with Hotmail. You'd log into Hotmail with Opera and you'd have a site that was so malformed that you couldn't use it, but if you lied and said Internet Explorer, it let you in and the site worked. [19:42] DaemonFC[m] Back when MSN Chat was popular and I had my website, part of it was how to get it to work in Opera by extracting a Netscape API plug-in from a CAB file and copying it to Opera's plug-in folder. At that point, you'd install the MSN Chat ActiveX control using Internet Explorer, and then MSN Chat would load in Opera. [19:42] CrystalMath interestig [19:42] CrystalMath *interesting [19:43] CrystalMath but MSN is very easy to implement at least [19:43] CrystalMath MSNP i mean [19:43] CrystalMath the protocol [19:43] CrystalMath it's beautiful [19:43] DaemonFC[m] I discovered a server-side bug in MSN Chat at once point where you could throw the HOSTS out of the room and then tell the server to delete and reset the room, giving you HOST. [19:44] DaemonFC[m] To make my point, I had recently been banned from the "Computer Help" room, so I took it over, threw everyone out, and reset the room, which unbanned me and made me the HOST. [19:44] DaemonFC[m] Then everyone else comes back in going what the hell just happened. [19:45] vZS1_2 lol [19:45] DaemonFC[m] Microsoft quietly fixed the bug a couple of days after that. [19:45] vZS1_2 Might be worth compiling a how-to document on how to change "user agent" on all the libre browsers. [19:45] vZS1_2 Like Konqueror, Falkon, etc. [19:45] vZS1_2 Ice Cat. [19:45] DaemonFC[m] There's a add-on called User-Agent Switcher that can do it per-domain. [19:46] DaemonFC[m] So you can lie to a particular site without causing unpredictable global effects. [19:46] vZS1_2 Don't most of the browsers store these in an sqlite file? [19:46] DaemonFC[m] User Agents are hell on Earth. Setting a lie globally can fix one site and break many more. [19:46] vZS1_2 Or several sqlite files [19:47] CrystalMath i use elinks [19:47] vZS1_2 I know that Firefox does not wipe all user data when you tell it to. I saw several sqlite files that still had user information after I deleted the things you can through the UI. [19:47] CrystalMath it's my browser of choice :) [19:47] DaemonFC[m] Usually when it fixes one site it's because that site is either using standard markup and specifically excluding Firefox or because it's using some Chrome APIs that are either implemented in Firefox and they just don't care or a few things break a little but the site mostly works with the UA shim. [19:48] vZS1_2 I have some scripts I run to delete all sqlite files for Firefox every now and then [19:48] CrystalMath it's actually the hardest to change the user agent in lynx [19:48] CrystalMath which actively resists [19:48] CrystalMath it's ridiculous, really, but still possible [19:49] CrystalMath you just have to first enable changing the user agent [19:49] DaemonFC[m] The American Opportunity Tax Credit for Mandy should be around $900 this year. [19:49] DaemonFC[m] It looks like the federal income tax rate for our joint filing will be negative by quite a bit. [19:49] DaemonFC[m] I found a few refundable credits. [19:50] DaemonFC[m] Trump's tax law helps out out a bit. [19:51] DaemonFC[m] I hope that the Democrats back out some of it in Reconciliation but keep the standard deductions where they are. That seems likely. Biden promised not to raise taxes on people under $400,000, and that was generally the policy of the Obama Administration. [19:52] vZS1_2 This gives you the standard spying culprits, I think. [19:52] vZS1_2 `$ find . -regex ".*sqlite.*" 2>/dev/null | grep "firefox" | less` [19:54] vZS1_2 I run that in my home directory ● Jan 23 [20:02] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [20:02] *rianne__ has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) [20:04] vZS1_2 For Chrome, it's in "~/.config/google-chrome/Default/databases/".

You can't disable your browser daemon. lol [20:25] vZS1_2 I have a feeling that Google baked most of the spyware into the Chrome blob itself. That's a good research project, for anyone interested.

[23:32] DaemonFC[m] What's also been going on is hard pressure, propaganda, and refusal to accept code that is GPL licensed where it didn't exist before, which seems to be paying off in terms of diluting the percentage of Free Software under the license and reversing its adoption where it was before. [23:33] DaemonFC[m] As a matter of fact, had the GPLv3 not existed at all, it's very likely Apple never would have replaced all of those macOS components and would have at least kept contributing code under v2.

"I have been working on a t"> I read it, but the text could be improved and structured a bit better. For a draft it's fine and I may be able to look at it more in-depth next weekend. If you could also give some concrete examples that would give your text a bit more weight, but we can look into it then. [23:50] DaemonFC[m] The most good that GPLv3 did maybe was force companies to spend money to abuse their users the same way in the end, but it also deprived the Free Software of the development that it was getting before. [23:50] DaemonFC[m] Apple had been using and occasionally contributing to Samba, among other things. [23:51] DaemonFC[m] It's arguable that the loss of Apple paying people to implement things in Samba is outweighed by the benefit of causing them a temporary aggravation of writing SMB from scratch. [23:51] DaemonFC[m] *outweighs the benefit, rather [23:51] _I3^RELATIVISM sure still the first draft still ver experimental and a WIP [23:51] _I3^RELATIVISM psydroid: [23:52] DaemonFC[m] The license has harmed and fractured Free Software and hasn't done much to inconvenience companies that want to build locked down products. [23:52] DaemonFC[m] They found enough traitors like mjg59 and lawyers to poke their way around it. [23:53] DaemonFC[m] I call him a turncoat because he claimed to be a Free Software guy and took such an award, and then as soon as someone pays him to make computing worse for everyone, he does it. [23:54] DaemonFC[m] "Secure Boot" is a fucking shit show even if you don't care about the ethical implications, because the specification and code are shit and it can cause your entire computer to fail to boot even when someone implements it "correctly". [23:54] DaemonFC[m] Like what happened with Fedora 33. [23:54] psydroid Are they like sharks that are on the lookout for every (A)GPLv3 licensed project out there to poison it and ultimately cause its demise? [23:54] _I3^RELATIVISM ahaah greame [23:54] _I3^RELATIVISM its unfortunate this is the situation [23:55] _I3^RELATIVISM i try to use pre me [23:55] DaemonFC[m] I would call what Microsoft is doing an attempt to poison the entire well for the GPLv3. First totally, and then only where it actually matters. [23:55] _I3^RELATIVISM so dont give 2 shits about secure boot [23:55] _I3^RELATIVISM HyperbolaBSD also looks pretty cool [23:55] _I3^RELATIVISM so no need for linux once that is released [23:55] DaemonFC[m] They don't ban projects entirely from GitHub that use GPLv3, but then again, the default license is a simple permissive one and they lean on people in other ways. [23:56] *rianne (~rianne@2a00:23c4:c3aa:7d01:c9a5:95d:2372:ab76) has joined #techrights [23:56] _I3^RELATIVISM OpenBSD was allways superior anyway in terms of mitigations [23:56] _I3^RELATIVISM so [23:56] DaemonFC[m] They have open sourced significant parts of Windows. Not the whole thing. Not the majority. [23:56] _I3^RELATIVISM o/ rianne [23:56] DaemonFC[m] But they absolutely never use strong copyleft, and they won't accept code under it. [23:57] DaemonFC[m] The open source bits have been minimally useful outside Windows. It's been enough to modernize certain parts of Wine that were implemented incorrectly or at the feature level of Windows NT 4 or something. [23:57] *rianne__ (~rianne@host81-154-168-60.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #techrights [23:58] *liberty_box (~liberty@host81-154-168-60.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #techrights [23:58] psydroid My biggest worry is that a new AGPLv3 licensed codebase is developed and they come after that, no matter how insignificant it is, but merely because they see the threat and because they can [23:59] psydroid A bit like what Bruce Perens alluded to in his video last year [23:59] _I3^RELATIVISM that will never happend until there is financial icentive to do so [23:59] _I3^RELATIVISM Is weird to see Perens giving reason to RMS after all
