●● IRC: #techrights @ FreeNode: Friday, December 25, 2020 ●● ● Dec 25 [00:00] MinceR they've been pushing Google Play Services or whatever [00:00] psydroid Apple and Microsoft must be afraid of losing to Google on their home turf as well, but it's inevitable in the long run [00:00] MinceR i think Maddox is wrong about the prequels [00:00] MinceR especially II and III [00:00] vZS1 GrapheneOS, F-droid and the like are a push against Google play. [00:00] DaemonFC[m] Google and Facebook were found to be colluding, surprise surprise. [00:00] DaemonFC[m] Getting together to do price fixing on advertisements will be the easiest part of the government's case to prove. [00:01] DaemonFC[m] Largely because they have emails between the two companies agreeing to work together to drive up ad prices. [00:01] vZS1 I think Google are just making desperate moves now [00:01] vZS1 Google hate F-droid [00:02] vZS1 At least we have phones that allow people to put another OS on them. Unlike Apple hardware [00:02] DaemonFC[m] I think Microsoft ended up learning their lesson about getting caught with incriminating emails. [00:03] DaemonFC[m] If Obama hadn't appointed Hillary Clinton to be Secretary of State, she would probably be the president right now. [00:03] DaemonFC[m] She didn't really do much as a Senator that was clearly questionable. [00:04] vZS1 The F-Droid selection keeps getting better [00:05] vZS1 Frequently updated for most software as well [00:05] DaemonFC[m] MinceR: John told me that nobody wanted to put up a picture of Trump in the TSA breakroom. [00:05] DaemonFC[m] Eventually someone did, and it disappeared and got replaced by an empty cheetos bag. [00:06] MinceR lol [00:06] MinceR why would they even consider having one? do they miss the USSR? [00:06] XRevan86 vZS1: Just a modern problem. [00:07] XRevan86 One cannot turn the phone off if the screen is broken. [00:07] DaemonFC[m] You have to put up a picture of the president all over the government offices. [00:07] MinceR "if only we could have a personality cult built around our leader, who is supposed to be an elected representative of the people!" [00:07] MinceR that's a stupid rule [00:07] XRevan86 Batteries are no longer detachable. [00:08] MinceR and they should feel bad about having it [00:08] DaemonFC[m] Not as dumb as spending taxpayer money commissioning portraits of all of the department secretaries. [00:08] vZS1 My battery is (: [00:08] DaemonFC[m] Like anyone cares who the labor secretary was 50 years ago, but there's an official portrait somewhere. [00:08] vZS1 I refuse to buy a phone without a replaceable battery and expandable disk [00:09] DaemonFC[m] MinceR: There will be an official portrait of Trump in the White House somewhere, but Trump moved the ones of Obama, W, and Clinton where he didn't have to see them. [00:09] DaemonFC[m] So Trump's is probably going directly into the nearest broom closet. [00:09] psydroid All the batteries in my phones are detachable except the one in this phone, which I was gifted somehow [00:09] MinceR lol [00:10] MinceR it could face the wall in the broom closet [00:10] DaemonFC[m] Now that we have this policy of shoving them into a broom closet somewhere. [00:10] DaemonFC[m] Maybe they'll have to build more broom closets someday. Who knows. [00:11] DaemonFC[m] I think the part that really pissed my dad off was going down the list of Trump's accomplishments that have already been thrown out by courts and the ones that Biden says he'll reverse immediately. [00:11] DaemonFC[m] I said, "Trump will be a footnote. So much for being on a mission from God.". [00:11] vZS1 I'm waiting to see how many of them go to prison [00:12] DaemonFC[m] History books will say that for 4 years, this tyrant who was elected by a bunch of Nazis and KKK members who needed their heads examined failed to respond to a plague that was killing his own voters. [00:12] DaemonFC[m] And lost the next election. [00:12] MinceR i'm waiting for Bunker Bitch to go to prison [00:13] vZS1 MinceR: who's that? [00:13] MinceR Cheeto Hitler [00:13] vZS1 Ah [00:13] DaemonFC[m] The news points it out right now. [00:13] vZS1 It's possible [00:13] DaemonFC[m] 90% of the people dying are over 60, and 2/3rds of those people are men. [00:13] DaemonFC[m] So could there be something worse for the Republicans counting on a decent sized base come next election? [00:14] DaemonFC[m] Remember that that's two years out and it may have killed well over 1.5 million people before we get a lid on it here. [00:15] DaemonFC[m] Trump did better with blacks and latinos this time than he did last time. [00:15] DaemonFC[m] It was white voters that he lost double digit percentages with. [00:15] DaemonFC[m] And it was just enough to send him packing. [00:16] DaemonFC[m] There's warning signs that Florida might go from being a swing state to being lost to the Republican Party, but Arizona and Georgia are now on the map for Democrats. [00:16] DaemonFC[m] So there's still some balance.

[19:06] DaemonFC[m] It's not terribly difficult to make a loaf of bread in a bread machine. The appliances were all the rage in the US in the 1990s and then people forgot about them and sent them off to the thrift shops. You can still buy them, but you pretty much have to go online, and the mixes they used to sell aren't made anymore so you have to do it from scratch.

[19:13] DaemonFC[m] They have a newer model of my air purifier that uses both so that it can alert you on your phone about air quality and let you adjust the settings over the internet. [19:14] DaemonFC[m] Now, I suppose the attack possibility against an air purifier is minimal, but this functionality is sort of ridiculous and it won't even work someday because they'll stop maintaining the phone app that controls it. [19:17] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz The Squeezebox was a great appliance and the control software was open source but nobody is making the hardware and so there's a limited number that still work and few people interested in fixing up the software. [19:18] DaemonFC[m] The software having a Linux port and being open source was almost unheard of at the time they were being marketed by Logitech. [19:18] DaemonFC[m] So few devices having a Linux port or if they did it was like that Avermedia driver that worked on 32-bit Ubuntu 8.04 and nothing else, ever.

[19:19] DaemonFC[m] SVN is horrible and always has been for large projects and now that Microsoft has given them cover, who cares about the GPLv2 apparently. [19:21] DaemonFC[m] The BSD projects using CVS and SVN has always led to few people who can commit to the main branch, leaving maybe half a dozen people who can agree to put something into the tree that people are going to use, and oftentimes without proper testing to see if it works okay and how it all fits together.
