[19:01] DaemonFC OS/2 is still floating around out there, but can't be modernized really because Microsoft owns the copyright to so much of it that IBM really can't do anything except enter into distribution agreements. [19:01] *bnchs (~bnchs@vdsp9wbqmw77y.irc) has joined #techrights [19:05] DaemonFC I still laugh when I think of the reasons Microsoft gave for backing out of OS/2. [19:06] DaemonFC They claim that IBM was making it "bloated", although it was certainly no bigger than Windows NT 4, and especially the Workspace wasn't more bloated than the "Internet Explorer shell update". [19:07] DaemonFC For the first year or so I had my Windows 98 system, I didn't even have access to the Internet, but IE caused the system to be so much more bloated than Windows 95, and I couldn't even use it if I wanted to. [19:08] DaemonFC When I did do something about that, it was to remove IE and its Shell Update so I could run more applications without it using the swap file. [19:08] DaemonFC Microsoft said it was impossible, but at least two people figured it out and made programs that automated the junk cleanup. [19:09] bnchs ok why the fuck is a web browser fully integrated into a OS [19:09] DaemonFC It actually wasn't as integrated into Windows 98 or Me as Microsoft said it was. [19:09] bnchs that seems like as much as a horrible idea as integrating a file manager into the desktop environment (explorer.exe) [19:09] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [19:11] *liberty_box (~liberty@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #techrights [19:11] DaemonFC If you unregistered a bunch of DLL and other files and deleted them, and removed the C;\Program Files\Internet Explorer path, and a bunch of other crap, and then pulled a switcharoo for the Windows 95 B shell that knew what FAT32 was, and then removed Outlook Express and a bunch more stuff, it was basically Windows 95 B with an improved memory manager and support for Windows Driver Model and newer DirectX (eventually). [19:11] DaemonFC Well, the Windows 95 shell was actually much more secure because it didn't have any Web features at all. [19:12] MinceR 26 200912 < bnchs> ok why the fuck is a web browser fully integrated into a OS [19:12] DaemonFC If you were browsing around in IE, or in a Windows Explorer that you typed a Web address into, all it really took was a malicious ActiveX control, VBScript, or some form of code injection attack. [19:12] DaemonFC Then your OS was basically hit with a rootkit. [19:12] MinceR because otherwise they might be forced to stop bundling IE with Backdoors, or to allow it to be replaced with a real browser [19:12] bnchs i remember when crashing the file manager crashes the entire desktop [19:12] bnchs it still does [19:13] DaemonFC Yeah, Windows Explorer still crashes all the time and the desktop disappears completely and then resets itself. [19:13] DaemonFC It's very jarring. [19:13] DaemonFC And it was doing that to me at least a few times a month in Windows 10 as of last year. [19:13] DaemonFC And I hear the Windows 11 shell is even worse. [19:14] bnchs because some guy at microsoft thought it was a good idea to integrate the shell into the file manager [19:14] DaemonFC For a while, it could crash on people then accidentally recover the Windows 10 shell, only the Start menu didn't work. [19:14] bnchs or the other way around [19:14] DaemonFC MinceR, ^ [19:14] DaemonFC Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist. [19:15] MinceR on Backdoors10, even alt+tab doesn't work while explorer.exe is frozen [19:16] MinceR it's not even possible to give the focus to another window by clicking it [19:16] MinceR just like IBM, people at MICROS~1 don't know what cohesion is either [19:16] MinceR they just vomit every piece of code they can come up with into some massive blob [19:16] MinceR and if one bit of it breaks, the whole thing breaks [19:16] bnchs there was a windows 8.1 update that broke explorer.exe, i just remember one day waking up and turning on the PC, to find that the desktop is completely orange [19:17] bnchs you couldn't uninstall the update since it done some irreversible damage, had to reinstall [19:18] DaemonFC Microsoft (1998): Here's Outlook Express. You can use it for all your mail. [19:18] DaemonFC User uses it: Outlook Express corrupts its mailbox every 200 times it loads or so. Microsoft never fixes it. Third party utility can recover it sometimes. [19:19] DaemonFC Microsoft (2006) removes Outlook Express in Windows Vista. [19:19] DaemonFC Microsoft (2016) announces that Outlook Express actually was there for 10 years in a state where they rendered it unusable, and will now remove Outlook Express, really. [19:20] MinceR lol [19:20] DaemonFC Microsoft (1999) recommends using syskey.exe as a security feature, even though it doesn't encrypt the whole disk, or even most of it, and uses a 40-bit cipher that has backdoors. [19:21] DaemonFC Microsoft (2001) patches it up and says it's okay to use it now. [19:21] DaemonFC Microsoft (2006) includes the Amazing Bitlocker, which gets tripped up by a lot of things, including BIOS updates, and has backdoors for the police. [19:22] DaemonFC Microsoft (2020) Syskey.exe is being used by technical support scammers and has been for a while, and we're removing that. You should use Bitlocker. [19:22] bnchs nobody uses syskey, except scammers who want to lockdown the data of disobeying customers [19:24] DaemonFC Microsoft (1996) We're doing this thing called Internet Explorer, it's fantastic. Microsoft (1998) It's a part of the desktop now and it leaks memory like crazy and crashes the computer 3-4 times a day and there's no uninstaller and it makes your computer too dangerous to use. Microsoft (2001) And it's part of Windows XP too, and XP has a software firewall, but we turned that off and we won't work on IE anymore because Netscape is dead. [19:25] DaemonFC Microsoft (2006) Here's an update for IE. We're working on it again because Firefox is used by everyone now. Microsoft (2014) IE is crap and cannot be used safely. Here's Edge. It's a fork of IE and it will be around for many, many years. [19:26] DaemonFC Microsoft (2019): Well, Windows Phone flopped and we want to fire a lot of people, so we're just keeping a few people on to pretend the New Edge is something other than Chrome with our spyware in it. It's for "Linux" now. You know, our DEB packages have trashed Debian before because we're idiots, but you can install this. It's great! [19:27] DaemonFC MinceR, I wonder why no Edge Flatpak or Edge Snap. [19:28] DaemonFC At least if they screw those up, the "damage" will be contained to the program failing to install or start, not wiping out the entire OS. [19:28] MinceR maybe MICROS~1 is busy making their own bloatpak [19:29] DaemonFC My guess is that Flatpak will just be more of an excuse for Debian's bureaucracy to entrench its position and refuse to package applications people want. [19:30] DaemonFC It's not too much of a limb to go out on, because I think we're there already. [19:31] DaemonFC Fedora makes Flatpak fairly confusing. They repackage a lot of the ones that are on Flathub and then you get a choice to install either one. [19:31] DaemonFC Their position is it will work without Flathub, and including Flathub is legally dangerous for Fedora because it could point to software that is encumbered by patents. [19:32] DaemonFC They may as well just leave it alone and let people who want Flatpaks use Flathub and there'd be less confusion. [19:33] DaemonFC MinceR, Little Caesar's has a Batman pizza now. [19:33] MinceR but is it made from real batman? [19:33] DaemonFC So for an extra two dollars, you can have them cut out part of your pizza that you don't get and use less pepperoni on what's left, and it'll be shaped like the Bat Signal. [19:33] DaemonFC :) [19:34] MinceR batman probably tastes like pork [19:34] DaemonFC I don't know. I've never tasted human. [19:34] DaemonFC Probably tastes like chicken anyway. [19:35] DaemonFC Nobody seems to have complained about Squid Game being homophobic for some reason. [19:35] DaemonFC One of the rich people paying to watch was some fat pervert with a Texas accent who demanded that one of the servers join him in his private room. [19:36] DaemonFC Of course, he got killed and left there because the server was an undercover cop. [19:36] DaemonFC This whole "gay people are always the villains" thing is over with in Hollywood, but they're compensating for it now in ways that are just as offensive. [19:36] DaemonFC It seems gays as the villain is okay in Korea. [19:37] bnchs what does your country's IT books teach people [19:47] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 22.41 k/sec., IPFS upstream 24.30 average k/sec., average swarm size 255.64 [19:47] DaemonFC A bunch of stuff about Microsoft, at least last I looked. [19:47] DaemonFC I got a free Computer Repair Technician class in 2002 and took it. [19:47] DaemonFC And the hardware part was informative, but the software part was all Windows troubleshooting. [19:47] DaemonFC Of course it's all obsolete now anyway because Windows has new errors. [19:48] DaemonFC Of course some from then are still there. [19:48] DaemonFC I was actually having a nightmare last night and Windows XP was in it. [19:48] DaemonFC I was on this laptop and somehow Windows XP was on it and I was trying to figure out where my files went. [19:49] DaemonFC I don't remember it all, but the Windows XP progress bar was there. Moving slowly. Doing nothing. [19:49] DaemonFC I had so many of those incidents where I really did lose everything to XP and had to go digging through backups. [19:50] DaemonFC Not from hardware problems, but just because the software was so bad. [19:51] bnchs thankfully our country is poor, so we mostly teach free software (even one of the books have brief info about the GNU project) [19:51] bnchs on windows though [19:51] DaemonFC I was on /r/piracy the other day. [19:52] DaemonFC Someone's professor had dumped a pirate copy of MS Office 2016 on Google Drive with instructions on how to install it and what not to do because it would trigger Product Activation, which would fail. [19:52] DaemonFC Then people said someone would rat him out, and the OP said the country was so poor that nobody would give a shit anyway. [19:52] SomeH4x0r it is good [19:52] bnchs we have pirated office 2007 on USBs/DVDs [19:53] DaemonFC In the US, Microsoft gets rid of "piracy" at universities by just giving away licenses so cheap that nobody bothers. But then you don't realize it, but the $5 license for Office comes with a $500 "technology fee" in your tuition that year. [19:53] DaemonFC And nobody tells you a lot of that goes to Microsoft.

It is perfectly possible to write software that is secure from the get-go. However, it is expensive to do that. It cuts into profit. Secure software can also protect its owner from the vendor.
