pretty sure no modern website (html + css + js + image) can't survive 250kb limit

i actually optimized this

guess I should start optimizing my js and css more

leah

i don't have js

leah

and my css is like 300 bytes uncompressed

leah

the logo displayed on the homepage is also the favicon

pinetime

(oh you have video)

leah

and is actually a png, but its named favicon.ico. browsers are clever enough

leah

yeah but the video isn't auto-loaded

leah

the FAQ is 75kb

leah

install tutorials are definitely going to violate the 256kb rule

OpenSUSE has better stability now than it had back then, but there aren't that many packages and it serves more as a base for running proprietary software

So I don't see the point of running it at home

psydruid

I've never taken Rust seriously and won't until there is an implementation that isn't tied to Microsoft

Oct 26 10:23

DaemonFC

Given a choice, most people choose expedience over long term viability.

Oct 26 11:03

activelow

i wouldn't recommend webkit2, it doesn't require any benefit over netsurf, and disabling wasm requires patching/recompilation

Oct 26 11:03

DaemonFC

Computing can't continue in the direction in which Microsoft, Apple, and Google are taking it unless, in a few years, you want no control over your computer at all, finally.

Oct 26 11:03

activelow

with mozilla i wouldn't know if wasm can be fully removed, probably not, and changing some about:config doesn't raise my confidence

Oct 26 11:04

DaemonFC

But until then, enjoy "rounded corners" and rich Corinthian leather.

Oct 26 11:04

schestowitz-TR2, The DoJ looking to enforce the Sherman Act on Apple is good news. It won't solve the larger problem though.

activelow

activelow

DaemonFC

There's a very real danger of it turning into another US v. Microsoft, where technically Microsoft lost, but they didn't lose much.

activelow

this didn't break youtube, nonetheless, i don't trust this

DaemonFC

Just a fine and kept on doing the worst stuff anyway.

activelow

instead, this old mozilla regularly was blocked by javascript deadlocks, maybe some trackers and ads injecting wasm and waiting for some response

Oct 26 11:06

DaemonFC

On MacRumors, people are saying "success isn't illegal". They're right. It's not. It's how you get successful and stay there that might be illegal.

Oct 26 11:06

DaemonFC

Doing dirty things and taking shortcuts and locking out your competitors once you reach a certain size can be illegal.

Oct 26 11:07

DaemonFC

Apple is not successful in the App Store because it competes on service or price or convenience or reliability.

Oct 26 11:07

DaemonFC

It's successful becasue they convinced a lot of people to buy their product then used that installed base to force developers to take their "deal", onerous app publishing terms and 30% of their profits, or there's the door and don't hit your ass on the way out.

Oct 26 11:08

DaemonFC

And that's very illegal, but Obama and Trump had no intention of prosecuting it.

Oct 26 11:08

activelow

well, yes, wasm is probably the basis for the entire "app" business to inject malicious software

Oct 26 11:08

activelow

i am not aware of any survey, which blocked all wasm (reliably) and verified which "apps" continued working (discord? youtube? teams? google earth?)

There's people who just don't get what US antitrust laws mean, like that guy who "for reasons" tried suing the FSF claiming he singlehandedly wanted to create his own OS to compete with "Linux" and couldn't.

I contacted him a while back because I just wanted to know why he did it. I said it didn't seem feasible that he was going to rewrite an entire OS himself and I was wondering if the whole lawsuit was some kind of a farce in order to get case law that Free Software was beneficial to the "consumer".

Oct 26 11:12

DaemonFC

And he became very evasive about it.

Oct 26 11:13

DaemonFC

You can write a small UNIX-like OS with very few resources. Some guy in Chicago did it in Rust, complete with a GUI.

Oct 26 11:13

DaemonFC

The big problem comes when you need many thousands of hardware drivers and to port all of this software to it.

activelow

and rust/cargo often wrap existing c-libs into crates

DaemonFC

Without software, the computer hums and burns electricity. Without hardware drivers, you may be able to get it to run on a VM if you implement JUST what it needs to do that.

DaemonFC

But that's not useful.

DaemonFC

So you could argue that Redox OS isn't an OS at all.

Oct 26 11:15

DaemonFC

Because it can't operate hardware, and there are no software ports to speak of.

Oct 26 11:15

DaemonFC

That guy says he's pulling in about $15,000 a year now to go towards developing it as a hobby.

Oct 26 11:16

DaemonFC

It's a waste.

DaemonFC

Nobody is ever going to be able to use it in production.

Oct 26 11:16

Even ReactOS isn't totally pointless. A lot of the code or findings about Windows end up in Wine.

DaemonFC

Redox has less of a point than ReactOS.

Oct 26 11:17

DaemonFC

He designed it to have a microkernel. Minix has a microkernel.

Oct 26 11:17

DaemonFC

He said he wants to prove you can do a highly reliable kernel that you can audit.

Oct 26 11:18

DaemonFC

Minix has that.

Oct 26 11:18

DaemonFC

Minix has all of that and was written in C. Minix ended up on spacecraft that went to Mars.

Oct 26 11:18

DaemonFC

You can't go to Mars and flip a switch and get the thing restarted if something goes terribly wrong.

Oct 26 11:19

DaemonFC

Linux isn't reliable enough to deal with situations like these. But those are corner cases.

Oct 26 11:19

DaemonFC

In these cases, you need all the reliability you can get even if performance sucks.

Oct 26 11:20

DaemonFC

And you don't need huge compatibility with applications, because you design the few that the system runs and that's all it runs.

Oct 26 11:20

DaemonFC

Torvalds says it would be sad if Linux didn't become obsolete.

Oct 26 11:21

DaemonFC

There was a Sci-Fi show that was like 200 years in the future or something, and the ship was booting up a Linux kernel.

Oct 26 11:21

DaemonFC

It wouldn't surprise me.

Oct 26 11:21

DaemonFC

You don't just throw out this kind of thing and start all over. The idea of Rust in the kernel is frightening though.

Oct 26 11:22

DaemonFC

People will end up writing new systems in Rust and then those will turn out to be less robust and manageable in the future.

activelow

the idea only gcc or clang can compile linux kernel nowadays, this is the issue

DaemonFC

Then they may well end up having to chuck that and rewrite it in C anyway.

DaemonFC

And GCC is considered a secondary option.

activelow

DaemonFC: the future is tiny embedded, sdcc compiler, and 8/16bit systems

activelow

Oct 26 11:28

DaemonFC

It just blows up figures on a trading floor screen.

Oct 26 11:28

DaemonFC

It blew up, but then before Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft went under, the government started this massive bailout program.

Oct 26 11:28

DaemonFC

Including super low interest rates that the market never would have had.

Oct 26 11:29

DaemonFC

The Fed "commands" interest rates, and that's like saying you can dictate whether it will rain today or how fast the wind will blow.

Oct 26 11:29

DaemonFC

They really have no control over what interest rates are. They can say they do, but it comes back out somewhere else.

DaemonFC

It's really daylight theft of people's savings through inflation.

activelow

they are accounting for puff in their balance sheets

DaemonFC

The goal, they say, is to goose the economy.

DaemonFC

People see their savings die and then buy things to avoid some of the pain.

DaemonFC

And they don't save as much.

DaemonFC

Then you have more problems.

DaemonFC

People having no savings means that people have no stability.

DaemonFC

When people have no stability, they go into debt.

DaemonFC

When people go into too much debt, they eventually file bankruptcy and then there's a collapse, and then the government comes in to "save everyone" again, with something even more horrible.

They call this Keynesian Economics. schestowitz-TR2 ^

Oct 26 11:33

DaemonFC

MinceR, ^

Oct 26 11:33

DaemonFC

It's still far worse to have no savings than it is to just buy pointless shit to avoid having the savings eroded a bit.

Oct 26 11:35

DaemonFC

If you save, you lose 2-3% of the value to inflation, per year.

Oct 26 11:35

DaemonFC

If you don't, you know, you eventually have the car break down or your husband needs major dental work, and you have no money, so you're financing it at 10-15%.

Oct 26 11:36

DaemonFC

They steal way more from people who don't have that buffer.

Oct 26 11:36

DaemonFC

Because you are stealing from your future to pay for this week.

Oct 26 11:36

DaemonFC

This dental work that Mandy needs is horrible enough *with* insurance.

Oct 26 11:37

DaemonFC

And they're knocking over 50% off the top line figure and then paying ultimately like $3,000 of that, and we'll still be left holding the bag and paying $3,000 or so cash.

activelow

last time i saved, with the plan to rent some office and relocate somewhere

DaemonFC

It's a horrible awful no good really bad deal.

DaemonFC

The insurance companies create no value. Some of it is fake discounts too.

activelow

i ended up with this money being gone after few month, because, social security is denied with savings, which i didn't plan to rely upon anyway

DaemonFC

Like the dentists sometimes slip you 20% off if you pay cash. They up their rate and then say you get a huge discount with your insurance.

activelow

activelow

ERROR

DaemonFC

<activelow> it would have been better if i had saved *nothing* at all, and bought a car, and went on holidays

activelow

never again

DaemonFC

Yes, I was telling mom the other day it would have been better for me if I had been a crook like everyone else in the 2000s.

DaemonFC

Just "financed" a house.

DaemonFC

Lived in it making interest-only payments for 5 years.

DaemonFC

Lost the house.

DaemonFC

Hid a bunch of money in a cigar box. You know all those people weren't broke.

DaemonFC

They weren't all so stupid that they didn't know what a 5/1 ARM meant.

activelow

5/1 ARM?

DaemonFC

You get an introductory interest rate on a mortgage for 5 years.

DaemonFC

Then it adjusts to market rates.

DaemonFC

Then it adjusts to some figure plus prime every year.

activelow

ok, guaranteed interest (it is called differently in germany)

DaemonFC

So, people signed these 5/1 ARMs and a lot of them said just pay this really low interest payment and no principal.

Oct 26 11:42

DaemonFC

We won't even check to see if you really do have a job.

Oct 26 11:42

DaemonFC

So people had a house, a big one, and for 5 years they were paying a couple hundred bucks a month.

Oct 26 11:42

DaemonFC

Then the ARM reset in 2007/2008 and suddenly the payment was $1,200 for the mortgage and they lost their house because the bank actually gave the mortgage to a couple people making $7-8 bucks an hour or whatever.

Oct 26 11:43

DaemonFC

Or they weren't employed at all.

DaemonFC

I mean, it was literally everyone gets a house.

DaemonFC

NINJA loans.

DaemonFC

Or the bank would give a $800,000 house to an electrician and a nursing assistant.

DaemonFC

Then it would come due for a reset and the mortgage is suddenly $4,500.

DaemonFC

The bank didn't care.

Oct 26 11:45

DaemonFC

As soon as it wrote the mortgage, it scored them as a "solid investment", put them into bonds, and sold the bonds.

Oct 26 11:45

DaemonFC

It was off their books and they made a fortune.

Oct 26 11:46

DaemonFC

They had no reason to worry about the performance of the loan.

Oct 26 11:46

activelow

what happened to the house and the people living in it?

Oct 26 11:48

activelow

anyway

Oct 26 11:48

DaemonFC

They walked off and threw the keys in the mailbox.

Oct 26 11:49

activelow

some interesting data, the generous social security, in germany: it is ~1.50EUros monthly calculated for education ~5cents per day

Oct 26 11:49

DaemonFC

Mom's neighbors actually did that.

Oct 26 11:49

DaemonFC

And they left the windows open all winter, and then a tree fell on the house.

DaemonFC

Then nobody fixed that and some kids broke in and tore the rest of it up.

DaemonFC

Then the bank had to tear it down.

DaemonFC

Then the city bought the empty lot and it's an empty lot.

That was the elevator pitch back then.

Smack a few buttons and you basically have a Debian desktop with sane defaults without having to learn a bunch of things and trial and error to get the basic system running.

psydruid

I know Debian was a mess and somewhat buggy around 2007 and up to a few years ago, but now it's Ubuntu that has lost its way and doesn't seem to offer any added value anymore

DaemonFC

And don't mind Canonical. They're just there to sell support contracts to businesses.

DaemonFC

<psydruid> I know Debian was a mess and somewhat buggy around 2007 and up to a few years ago, but now it's Ubuntu that has lost its way and doesn't seem to offer any added value anymore.

seems Microsoft paid Canonical to stop competing on the desktop

psydruid

I've seen bugs in Ubuntu across x86_64, aarch64 and ppc64le that are not present on Debian 9/10/11

schestowitz-TR2

and many staff left

schestowitz-TR2

then they started pushing WSL

schestowitz-TR2

Canonical is just some "has been" at this stage

schestowitz-TR2

and we need to prop up community distros when possible

schestowitz-TR2

Fedora is being killed b IBM

schestowitz-TR2

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR2

it's just an experiment testbed with IBM products

psydruid

I never really felt Fedora was a community

schestowitz-TR2

now it's clearer

schestowitz-TR2

someone from red hat told me the council of fedora was always controlled by red hat

schestowitz-TR2

it's there like ubuntu council

schestowitz-TR2

pretense of "community"

DaemonFC

That's been obvious.

schestowitz-TR2

with Microsoft Bacon as "community MANAGER"

DaemonFC

There were always more Red Hat employees on it than Community members.

schestowitz-TR2

i.e. PR person trying to muzzle critics

schestowitz-TR2

DaemonFC: yes, that's what I was told

DaemonFC

Then if the vote still didn't go the right way, Red Hat could still step in and overrule the vote.

schestowitz-TR2

or threaten to fire

DaemonFC

Without explaining itself.

DaemonFC

And complaining about it could cause you to lose your seat.

DaemonFC

(or job)

psydruid

just like Opensolaris was a "community", but it was even worse as you couldn't build it without binary blobs

DaemonFC

Everything going on in Fedora happened because Red Hat wanted it to go that way, and if it was otherwise, it was because they didn't care enough to take a position on the issue.

schestowitz-TR2

A long time ago I reached the conslusion that

psydruid

weren't shenanigans like these historically a reason to invade a country and sack its capital (the Goths in Rome)?

DaemonFC

People are just bitching about NordVPN in general now.

schestowitz-TR2

1) our solution should be TECHNICAL

schestowitz-TR2

not bloicking roads and stuff

DaemonFC

I hope my 12 months are up before there's no escape from kape.

schestowitz-TR2

as that mostly alienates the general population

schestowitz-TR2

RMS wrote about that a month ago too

DaemonFC

The CIA black ops project to buy up all of the VPNs and use them as a honeypot.

schestowitz-TR2

2) more exposing, more journalism

schestowitz-TR2

DaemonFC: you still have e2ee

schestowitz-TR2

for some communications

schestowitz-TR2

I don't trust tor anymore

schestowitz-TR2

for many reasons

schestowitz-TR2

we need more technical solutions

*leah has quit (connection closed)

schestowitz-TR2

like swarms, like ipfs

*leah (~leah@wrh2nipuzrd3y.irc) has joined #techrights

schestowitz-TR2

but ipfs has serious technical limitations

psydruid

Amazon advertises Ring on tv and Google wants to build a Nest in every home

schestowitz-TR2

yes

psydruid

the worst part is people willingly buying those spying devices

schestowitz-TR2

more like a 'pentagon project'

activelow

as soon as a web browser is started ...

DaemonFC

A billion dollars for a VPN doesn't make much sense unless you're a government buying it with taxpayer money to spy on people.

schestowitz-TR2

convincing lots of idiots that it's "cool" to put CCTV with microphone in the home

schestowitz-TR2

it's smart

schestowitz-TR2

it's assistant

schestowitz-TR2

DaemonFC: maybe they don't even pay that much money

schestowitz-TR2

maybe it's like plea bargain

schestowitz-TR2

"we found these users doing these things on your servers"

schestowitz-TR2

"surrender of we sue you to bankruptcy"

schestowitz-TR2

under seal

DaemonFC

"Just get out now and turn over your users and we won't prosecute YOU."

schestowitz-TR2

classified, under NDA, with blackmail/threat if you break the silence (consequences including jail time)

schestowitz-TR2

DaemonFC: see LavaBit

schestowitz-TR2

he shut down his service

schestowitz-TR2

after they had sort of blackmailed him

schestowitz-TR2

Snowden used his service to leak NSA documents

DaemonFC

I don't think they'll even be very secretive about it, schestowitz-TR2. They'll have ExpressVPN and PIA spill like the Exxon Valdez and nobody will trust a VPN again.

DaemonFC

Problem solved.

DaemonFC

They may wait a while. I would.

DaemonFC

I'd take over several more and then hit everyone all at once.

DaemonFC

Someone asked me why I just pay for the VPN with a credit card.

DaemonFC

I said, "Because they know your IP address if it turns out they were really logging you."

Oct 26 13:49

DaemonFC

So this "Generate an account number and drop some cash in the mail." setups like Mullvad are not really that helpful.

Oct 26 13:49

schestowitz-TR2

where is nordvpn based?

schestowitz-TR2

legally and physically?

DaemonFC

Panama

schestowitz-TR2

pia pretended to be "london"

schestowitz-TR2

DaemonFC: so why "nord"?

schestowitz-TR2

are they piggybacking perception of scandinavian standards?

schestowitz-TR2

while not even basing somewhere like Iceland

DaemonFC

I suppose it's possible.

schestowitz-TR2

pia is korean americans

schestowitz-TR2

who apparently have rather strange politics, too

schestowitz-TR2

kim and lee

schestowitz-TR2

they hired founder of swedish pirate party

schestowitz-TR2

he had a nervous breakdowna

schestowitz-TR2

and left

schestowitz-TR2

the breakdown was so severe he had a PA to write replies on his behalf

schestowitz-TR2

sometimes I wonder what led to it

schestowitz-TR2

maybe some blackmail

schestowitz-TR2

remember he was friends with assange

schestowitz-TR2

whom CIA marked for torture and assassination

schestowitz-TR2

in that order

DaemonFC

<schestowitz-TR2> he had a nervous breakdowna

DaemonFC

<schestowitz-TR2> and left

DaemonFC

That's what you get when you deal with Asian people.

DaemonFC

*rim shot*

DaemonFC

My in-laws.

DaemonFC

Also, Joy, my landlord in Chicago.

schestowitz-TR2

the people who worked for lee on freenode maybe got one or two salaries

DaemonFC

She really did almost cause me to have one.

schestowitz-TR2

DaemonFC

I'm told that it's not just me, that a lot of Asian women are expected to be aggressive like MARISOL and Joy.

DaemonFC

I don't know if that's true or not.

DaemonFC

But in a country where it's assholes to elbows, wouldn't surprise me.

DaemonFC

Even in a city like Chicago, people get cramped and mean.

schestowitz-TR2

you are generalising

schestowitz-TR2

most of the world's population is asian

schestowitz-TR2

if you mean chinese, you are also generalising

schestowitz-TR2

many ethnicities in china and they're unlike their near neighbours

schestowitz-TR2

in the UK when you say "Asian" it typically means Indian or Pakistani in origin/ethnicity

Oct 26 13:57

DaemonFC

Let's see, Joy was from Vietnam and came here on "Temporary Protected Status" and stayed for 40 years and panicked and got her citizenship because of Trump.

Oct 26 13:57

DaemonFC

And MARISOL is from the Philippines.

Oct 26 13:57

DaemonFC

Who the fuck waits 40 years to get their citizenship if there's really anything to be afraid of if someone makes them go back?

MinceR

"Big cities are notorious for rudeness, small towns are famous for being friendly. This isn’t because only jerks live in cities and only nice people live in small towns. There is a psychological effect to having a press of people around us, competing for our resources and taking up our elbow room. People get impatient and edgy when they’re fighting a crowd."

DaemonFC

I know if someone said "It's $400 and raise your right hand and say this stuff -or- there's a chance you get deported to a Communist country..." what I'd be doing.

The United States isn't what it once was. When I was a child, even, it was a fairly free country.

DaemonFC

But we're still not the worst.

DaemonFC

We'd have a very long drop to get to where Mexico or the Philippines are, and there's worst yet after that.

DaemonFC

*worse

DaemonFC

When I was a child, it was before that 9/11 power grab and, you know, constant governing through fear into getting people to give up their freedom even though they aren't any safer in the end.

DaemonFC

And now more governing through fear of COVID.

Every single decade, things get worse. Much worse than you thought possible.

Something is deeply wrong with your economy when you're 30,000,000 MILLION dollars in debt (39 million) and your government gives almost 30 BILLION dollars in bailout to a company that CLAIMS to be worth trillions but makes losses

Yeah, that's worse, and that's what we did, but a lot of people still crawled into a hole.

DaemonFC

Right? My parents were too old to go, so they didn't care what happened.

it's like the hungarian state which likes to punish someone, anyone, in case they can't figure out the culprit

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman punishes everyone else because the fat guy sneaks a donut out of the commissary and into the barracks.

MinceR

He makes the guy eat the donut while everyone else is doing several hundred pushups.

DaemonFC

MinceR, I liked Silence of the Lambs where that psych ward inmate was jerking off and threw his cum all over Agent Starling, and it sickened Hannibal Lecter (a cannibal!) so much that Lecter tormented the guy into committing suicide.

DaemonFC

Didn't even have to leave his cell to do it.

DaemonFC

Then he was smirking about it when the psychiatrist said he knew what he had done.

DaemonFC

Lecter also liked to torment the Psychiatrist by reminding him of what a hack he was.

Oct 26 14:13

schestowitz-TR2

sometimes reporting can be like this

schestowitz-TR2

when you show people who other people are

DaemonFC

In the end, he let the guy boast about catching Lecter in front of all the news cameras right before he escaped and disappeared.

schestowitz-TR2

it leads to self-shame

schestowitz-TR2

His contempt of Jimmy is part of the reason why Jimmy became a dishonest and crooked lawyer.

Had he given Jimmy credit for the Sandpiper case and a fair deal at Hamlin, Hamlin, McGill, Jimmy would have been a fine attorney.

Oct 26 14:27

DaemonFC

Instead, he turned into Saul Goodman, a dirty Illinois-style ambulance chasing sleazebag.

Oct 26 14:28

DaemonFC

But part of Howard's contempt was that Jimmy studied law at a foreign university to keep his tuition down.

Oct 26 14:28

Which was actually quite brilliant, because he passed the bar

DaemonFC

You throw your money in and it isn't matched, the risk isn't worth it anymore.

schestowitz-TR2

with my work, the employer matches 5%

DaemonFC

Walmart matches 6%

schestowitz-TR2

and then there's the alleged tax benefit

DaemonFC

So the risk, to me, is worth 6% of Mandy's pay because Walmart doubles it.

I think lxde should have stayed with GTK.

Oct 26 18:33

DaemonFC

It was already written. It could have ported, and Qt is turning out to be a dead end that's under yet another proprietary software company that's doing nasty things with it.

Oct 26 18:34

DaemonFC

The way I understand it, lxde came about because some Chinese guy who was using Windows XP didn't like Vista very much.

Oct 26 18:34

DaemonFC

Vista got almost nowhere in China.

Oct 26 18:35

DaemonFC

GTK isn't particularly heavy just because GNOME is. GNOME isn't even very heavy looking at what most modern software has become.

Oct 26 18:37

DaemonFC

Windows 10 is now dragging around GUI bits from Windows 2000 and up.

DaemonFC

Errr, 11.

DaemonFC

When I saw the Windows 10 taskbar appears in Windows 11 bug, I laughed hard.

DaemonFC

They should be able to delete this if it's really a completely new OS.

DaemonFC

That's always what I say when people say "Linux" is inconsistent.

Oct 26 18:41

DaemonFC

There's a Settings applet in GNOME.

Oct 26 18:41

psydruid

LXQt felt slower and clunkier than XFCE when I tried it a few weeks ago

Oct 26 18:42

psydruid

so maybe the common factor is that everything always turns into crap

Oct 26 18:43

DaemonFC

In Windows 11, depending on the setting you want to change you may need, in roughly this order, the Settings applet, the Legacy Control Panel, Display Configuration, Backup, Backup (Windows 7), gpedit.msc, msconfig, or regedit.

DaemonFC

By lines of code, the GNOME developers atually shrank it by several thousand by removing odd and rarely used features.

schestowitz

wrong function call

schestowitz

wrong copy=paste

DaemonFC

That code has a cost. There can be bugs in there, there can be memory leaks, there can be security issues.

schestowitz

DaemonFC

Who will maintain it? Linux Mint? Sure they have the right to fork, and they did. But have fun with it.

<schestowitz> gui-level stuff is less a security risk

Oct 26 18:49

DaemonFC

It's visual clutter and bloat.

funny thing is, Windows still doesn't use Microsoft's own frameworks

psydruid

MFC lol

psydruid

if anything was ever horrible it's that

DaemonFC

Yeah, they had a version of Yahoo Messenger specially made for Vista.

DaemonFC

It used three times as much memory, crashed more, and didn't have video chat.

DaemonFC

Great APIs! Fantastic APIs! For the DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS!

Oct 26 18:52

DaemonFC

These people at Microsoft don't know their ass from next Tuesday about developing their own operating system and we want them monkeying around in the bowels of the Linux kernel, right?

Oct 26 18:53

DaemonFC

Thankfully, most of their crap is only relevant if you want to run Linux as a Guest on Windows for some strange reason, or Windows' Substandard Linux.

psydruid

why is Win32 even so closely tied to (into?) the kernel

DaemonFC

It's not. That's the crazy thing.

DaemonFC

Win32 is just an API plug-in.

DaemonFC

In theory, they could remove it entirely.

psydruid

when I asked what library I could use, someone told me DirectX

psydruid

I don't even know if that person was serious or not

Oct 26 18:57

DaemonFC

I think it just screams that it's a mess to the point where you can't touch anything without it all coming down on top of you.

Oct 26 18:58

DaemonFC

DirectX isn't even one set of libraries. It's not even all available anymore.

MinceR

26 193328 < DaemonFC> I think lxde should have stayed with GTK.

MinceR

they should have moved to a lightweight toolkit

DaemonFC

With DirectX 9 you need to install files to make it work again. Everything older doesn't work.

psydruid

but it works out of the box with WINE?

DaemonFC

This really is tragic from the perspective of wanting to preserve older software.

DaemonFC

To maintain the broadest userbase possible, games were using DirectX 9 well into 2013, as I recall.

psydruid

for me $OS+WINE is $WINDOWS

DaemonFC

So you have a decade plus of applications that don't even work now unless you install files and won't work at all ever again on Windows soon.

DaemonFC

And that includes Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

schestowitz-TR2

psydruid

they should realise by now that the only reason why people care about their CPUs is backward compatibility with x86 software

DaemonFC

Yes, once that goes, then nobody needs Intel or Microsoft anymore.

schestowitz-TR2

but we still have a mess to clean up

DaemonFC

That's why they used to bend over backwards to make sure it all stayed working.

schestowitz-TR2

it is a life-long challenge

psydruid

lose that, welcome ARM, RISC-V etc.

schestowitz-TR2

there's never a time to rest

they try...

schestowitz-TR2

do what we say, OR ELSE

MinceR

indeed

schestowitz-TR2

RMS has balls of steel or HAD them

schestowitz-TR2

so he could say no

schestowitz-TR2

now, go to stallman.org

schestowitz-TR2

he walks on eggshells

schestowitz-TR2

his whole tone changes

schestowitz-TR2

like he's afraid of being 'canceled' again for something out of context

schestowitz-TR2

or unpopular view

schestowitz-TR2

I bet FSF checked all the things he writes them for (pre)approval

schestowitz-TR2

IIRC that was one condition

schestowitz-TR2

so it's RMS lite

schestowitz-TR2

pre-filtered

schestowitz-TR2

(which also leads to self-censorship)

activelow

no offense intended, and i am not saying rms should or should be retired, but at a certain age he must think of the future of the organization

activelow

when he cannot serve with his prominent appearance anymore

schestowitz-TR2

better to stay there till the end

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

Gillmore

schestowitz-TR2

some good people still at eff

schestowitz-TR2

but it's generally run by too many fools

schestowitz-TR2

that's probably why he left

activelow

Torvalds argued he preferred to talk to EFF instead of FSF

schestowitz-TR2

yes, that is Torvalds

schestowitz-TR2

when he said this in debconf he was confronted

activelow

not sure why, according to him, there was some lunatics at work in FSF

schestowitz-TR2

but EFF does not care about software freedom

schestowitz-TR2

well, neither does Linus

schestowitz-TR2

MinceR

or freedom

schestowitz-TR2

activelow: that's Torvalds' ego

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

it helps him get more money and fame

minix predates linux, that's fact, and did torvalds ever oppose that?

Circa 2018: the year everything 'became' just 'smart' and 'Hey Hi'. 2013: everything is an "app", even old software we've long used (e.g. LibreOffice). 2008: every server is now known as "clown". Now they call #listeningdevices "assistants" (they don't say WHOSE).

Oct 26 22:40

"App" is a computer program that leaks out your data (usually in the name of "improving experience"... or something). It sure improves the workflows in spy agencies, I'm certain of that...

A story I heard more than 15 years ago from a friend (about his brother, who had freaked out): spy agencies like to recruit by blackmailing people. They put people in a "we send you the prison cell, or your work for us" position because it makes it a lot less likely they'll ever blow the whistle. That's how they pick up grey/whitehat hackers. Then they wear black hats for the government.
