[00:30] DaemonFC[m] Would be interesting if anyone allowed you to port that into a new account on their social network and just backdate all of the posts.

Everyone else is sort of stuck making the best of a bad situation, where a couple of mega-ad tech companies are the upstream (Microsoft and Google) and also occupy two seats on the increasingly irrelevant W3C to legitimize their own debauchery of the open Web. [00:37] DaemonFC[m] Lewis Black pointed this out as the Democrats and the Republicans in the 2000s. He said the Republicans were standing around farting and the Democrats were shouting "OOOH! Let us smell it!". [00:37] DaemonFC[m] And that's where Firefox comes in. They're the Democrats to the Chromium browser Republican Party. [00:37] DaemonFC[m] There are literally dozens of web standards now where the only purpose is to track the user and fingerprint them. There's even an API to detect whether the user is actively using the computer and the browser or not. [00:38] DaemonFC[m] Some browsers may choose to disable or not implement them all, but the fact that they're now part of the Chromium platform means there's at least more work to do, and sites can break without them and won't test for their absence or degrade gracefully. [00:39] DaemonFC[m] Mozilla has even been doing a lot of negative work, like implementing the battery status API just to declare it a security threat and remove it. [00:39] MinceR lol [00:42] DaemonFC[m] Oh, let sites see how much battery life you have left. Yeah, they totally care that they're draining your device. [00:42] DaemonFC[m] If they cared, they wouldn't be loading videos that you can't stop. [00:42] MinceR or removing ALSA support from their binaries in an effort to force people to use poetteringaudio [00:46] DaemonFC[m] From their point of view, direct support for ALSA was dead code that nobody would be using.

[01:12] XRevan86 By making something like PipeWire? [01:13] MinceR how would that make poetteringaudio cease to exist? [01:13] XRevan86 MinceR: It's meant to replace it. [01:17] MinceR and even if you wrote such things, how would you get the cult to replace poetteringware with it? [01:20] psydroid I would stop using software that contains software from the cult for my own purposes and have no intention to get the cult to replace poetteringware [01:20] psydroid the cult can do whatever it likes [01:24] MinceR i have that plan, but i doubt it would write their crap out of existence [01:25] XRevan86 MinceR: It's not an "if", it's a process that has already been started.

He claimed that he would not re-open the discussion on the SAP. [12:58] schestowitz [12:58] schestowitz In the December GCC meeting, two Circulars (Nos. 364 and 367) were on the agenda for consultation. Both Circulars were amended as the result of litigation by staff (as regards recognition of PhDs and abolition of house arrest, respectively). The changes are positive but the Circulars as a whole are far from being satisfactory. [12:58] schestowitz [12:58] schestowitz Both GCC meetings are examples of how not to conduct a social dialogue: there is no genuine debate. Our arguments are ignored when they dont suit the Administration. Even if there are indeed some mini-steps in the right direction, the President and his Administration remain unwilling to acknowledge the deep-rooted, structural faults of many of the reforms that have been forced on staff in recent years.

Let me outline it [14:34] schestowitz ok [14:34] vZS1_2 0) Keep only 1 device on and connected to the internet. [14:34] vZS1_2 1) Have a benchmark program on that [14:34] vZS1_2 2) Run p2p on that as well. [14:34] vZS1_2 3) Switch p2p on and off and monitor the benchmark program [14:35] vZS1_2 The key here is reproducibility [14:35] vZS1_2 If you can reproducibly demonstrate they are discriminating against p2p traffic, you have a foundation to stand on. [14:36] vZS1_2 So 1 device and 2 programs. Need to keep it as simple as possible. [14:38] schestowitz ok, I suppose that would be easy to do [14:38] schestowitz when we get to that point [14:38] schestowitz the shaping MIGHT be done at hub leve, BUT... [14:38] schestowitz *level [14:39] schestowitz we did not change the setup or the hub the morning it started to throttle [14:39] schestowitz so the throttling is almost certainly being done 'upstream' [14:39] vZS1_2 Your benchmark program will reveal that [14:39] *CrystalMath (~coderain@reactos/developer/theflash) has joined #techrights [14:39] vZS1_2 There's several to choose from [14:39] schestowitz Does ofcom have an official position on throttling?

[14:42] schestowitz yes [14:42] schestowitz we have 2 [14:43] vZS1_2 a scan as PNG should work [14:43] schestowitz but I have not used them for ages and need to install xsane or similar [14:43] schestowitz I will phonr them after that [14:43] schestowitz they mention "BT business account" [14:43] schestowitz lowercase B [14:43] schestowitz and upgrade to it for free [14:43] schestowitz but I need to ask them if that means no throttling [14:43] schestowitz and, if they say yes, then it means they do throttle homes [14:44] vZS1_2 They shouldn't be throttling anyway because of Ofcom regulations [14:44] schestowitz but I need to craft the questions carefully [14:44] schestowitz maybe to record the call [14:44] schestowitz remember: [14:44] schestowitz COVID DOES NOT MEAN INTERNET SLOWNESS IS OK :-0) [14:44] schestowitz OPPOSITE!

    [18:36] schestowitz

    During a video conference with university students to mark Russian Students Day (a public holiday that falls on January 25), President Vladimir Putin was asked to share his thoughts on the countrywide protests in support of opposition figure Alexey Navalny that took place on January 23. In particular, Putin was asked to comment on young peoples involvement in the demonstrations. Heres what he had to say.
