use of private mail for highly sensitive stuff

schestowitz__

so Bolton said Trump responded by saying outrageous things

schestowitz__

about something else

schestowitz__

and the rage that followed distracted from what Ivanka had done

schestowitz__

which would otherwise lead to "LOCK HER UP" chants

Cite: Bolton's book (2020)

or 2019, I think 2020

Any progress on that (article about Microsoft visit)?

As a side note, it seems like media tries to shift attention away from

<Ariadne> does anybody want to get paid to rewrite busybox

CrystalMath

<Ariadne> (in rust)

CrystalMath

<Ariadne> something about busybox litigation

CrystalMath

<skarnet> Ariadne: what interest does the LF have in busybox? aren't they happy with GNU coreutils and util-linux?

CrystalMath

<Ariadne> skarnet: they aren't happy because Alpine isn't happy, and they want Alpine to be happy since Alpine is what they are pushing for container devops buzzword bingo

CrystalMath

<Ariadne> basically they are very open to finding budget for improving Alpine

CrystalMath

<Ariadne> busybox is, you know, a third rail issue

CrystalMath

<Ariadne> with the GPL violations project

CrystalMath

sorry for the long paste

MinceR

well, i wouldn't want to rewrite anything in rust, regardless of license

CrystalMath

i know, disgusting

MinceR

let rust rot in hell, along with mozilla and microsoft

CrystalMath

i feel like one day i'm gonna be posting to you about Ariadne slaughtering people as a part of a death squad, and you'll say it's fine, we all have disagreements

MinceR

well, that depends on who gets slaughtered and why

CrystalMath

no it doesn't

CrystalMath

to me it doesn't

CrystalMath

murder is never okay

Mar 28 00:50

MinceR

there are many people i would slaughter happily so that the rest of us can finally have a free and civilized existence

[18:43:34] <CrystalMath> Ariadne: would you care to explain why you're shilling for busybox to be written with a permissive license?

Mar 28 13:07

Ariadne

because busybox is a security disaster waiting to happen

Mar 28 13:07

Ariadne

and busybox itself makes lawyers have a stroke

Mar 28 13:08

Ariadne

i don't care if the busybox replacement is GPLv2 btw

Mar 28 13:08

schestowitz__

got some uspto report coming

schestowitz__

"How many of these documents can be shared publicly (I've taken a quick look)?

schestowitz__

Regards"

schestowitz__

Everything can be shared.

schestowitz__

we got about 50 pages

Ariadne

anyway, i am not shilling on behalf of anything. a lot of alpine derivatives are incubated at LF, so it is a low-resistance path for getting projects in alpine funded. busybox is a problem from security POV and adoption POV.

Mar 28 13:11

schestowitz__

schestowitz__

Medical discovery - USPTO - open-source software

schestowitz__

schestowitz__

Dr. Schestowitz,

schestowitz__

When I put "USPTO corruption investigation" into my computer, I found this article at the techrights website: http://techrights.org/2014/08/13/uspto-is-corrupt/

schestowitz__

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Investigation Reveals That USPTO is Corrupt, Time to Abolish It or Annul Nearly a Million Patents | Techrights

schestowitz__

Ariadne: no need to argue over that

schestowitz__

I think it's based on a misunderstanding

schestowitz__

I know you don't like the LF much, either

schestowitz__

and I know about your stance on licensing since aaagees ago

schestowitz__

so let's not bicker over non-starters

Ariadne

i mean, i'm not like doing cartwheels about the existence of LF, no

Ariadne

but that's how alpine and debian are able to find funding for projects

schestowitz__

LF is problematic and ridiculed in many circles now

schestowitz__

some people tell me that our reporting since 2019 has been largely responsible for perception shift

schestowitz__

Zemlin 'disappeared'

schestowitz__

they hide him now, he's a liability and risk

Ariadne

there are certainly a lot of things i would like to see done differently at LF, but their ability to aggregate funding from corporate participants and redistribute them to alpine and debian developers is helpful

Ariadne

or in other words, cutting your nose off to spite your face is just stupid

*liberty_box (~liberty@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #techrights

schestowitz__

What about SPI?

Mar 28 13:21

schestowitz__

they help fund more than Debian

Mar 28 13:21

schestowitz__

even Arch

Mar 28 13:21

Ariadne

yes, SPI is another common funding vehicle

Mar 28 13:22

Ariadne

but LF has an advantage in that corporations already interface with it

Mar 28 13:22

Ariadne

to be clear i do not like many aspects of how the LF operates, and i find it ridiculous that Zemlin tells us about "the year of the linux desktop" and won't self-dogfood

schestowitz__

yeah

schestowitz__

but that is a side issue

schestowitz__

the person and the hypocrisy

schestowitz__

and that distracts from bigger scandals

schestowitz__

which are too many to enumerate offhand

schestowitz__

but TR reporting made it widely known some

Ariadne

a lot of participating projects in LF do not really love LF, but found it to be the least bad option due to the machinery they already have in place

Mar 28 13:24

Ariadne

like everything in life, things are not black and white. most things are in the gray area

Mar 28 13:25

schestowitz__

this one if very dark grey

Mar 28 13:25

schestowitz__

Mar 28 13:26

schestowitz__

and getting worse each year

Mar 28 13:26

Ariadne

anyway, to answer CrystalMath's accusation i summarize it as "i have several initiatives to see through to completion, and taking a practical approach to them means working with whoever wants to collaborate"

Mar 28 13:28

Ariadne

if you want systemd to have a bad time, does it matter if LF is the way lennart's bad day got funded?

Mar 28 13:28

Ariadne

what matters is that somebody was able to get funding to do the work. FSF is not capable of aggregating funding anymore for a long time.

schestowitz__

there are many angles to LF

schestowitz__

inc. the patent aspect

Ariadne

agreed

schestowitz__

I broken the silence in 2019

schestowitz__

because it had gotten too much for me

schestowitz__

I think the breaking point was something to do with them pushing lots of Microsoft stuff

schestowitz__

not just raising money from Microsoft

schestowitz__

and actively attacking Linux and FUDing it

Ariadne

i mean, i wish this was the old days where FSF had the connections and mechanisms to raise funding for key FOSS projects

Ariadne

but those days are gone

Ariadne

but the work still needs to be done regardless

Ariadne

and funding is the difference between initiatives being delivered on an impactful timeline or maybe in 5-6 years when it's too late

Mar 28 13:31

schestowitz__

big money is "nice"

schestowitz__

but big money with strange attached is also problemaic

schestowitz__

more so when that money comes from what yoy attempt to replace

schestowitz__

IBM/mainframe, Windows...

Ariadne

yeah, this is basically "no strings attached" funding though :)

schestowitz__

such things barely exist

schestowitz__

my next article (draft ready now) deals with it

schestowitz__

it's about how gates bribes the media

schestowitz__

and then they attack his critics

schestowitz__

"no strings attached" my arse :-)

Ariadne

well, minimal strings attached. nothing other than the usual grantwriting things.

"So we see the term sexual assault and sexual harrassment used for example, when a guy asks a woman out on a date and she doesn’t find that an appealing invitation. Maybe he used poor judgement in asking her out, maybe he didn’t, but in any case that is NOT sexual assault or harassment. To call it that is to really demean the huge horror and violence and predation that does exist when you are talking about violent sexual assault.

People use the term sexual assault/ sexual harassment to refer to any comment about gender or sexuality issues that they disagree with or a joke that might not be in the best taste, again is that to be commended? No! But to condemn it and equate it with a violent sexual assault again is really denying and demeaning the actual suffering that people who are victims of sexual assault endure. It trivializes the serious infractions that

are committed by people like Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein. So that is one point that he made that I think is very important that I strongly agree with."

what about toybox?

Ariadne

MinceR: toybox is one option we considered, but it's very focused on android, and we have not been able to really sync up with landley

MinceR

Ariadne

also toybox does a lot of sizecoding hacks that we don't want

MinceR

Ariadne

we want something that is clean, straightforward and coded to modern standard

CrystalMath

Ariadne: why don't you ask for a linux rewrite?

alextee[m]

I think Oliva is a great candidate, i just hope he's as tough as RMS. you need to be tough psychologically to push this movement onwards

CrystalMath

alextee[m]: oh he's tough alright

Ariadne

alextee[m]: oliva is tougher than RMS imo

CrystalMath

absolutely

Ariadne

alextee[m]: back in the indymedia days, he used to basically go and confront the mafia about fucked up shit they were doing in brazil

Mar 28 18:23

Ariadne

CrystalMath: linux codebase is mostly clean

CrystalMath

clean of what?

CrystalMath

it's GPLv2

CrystalMath

not permissively-licensed

Ariadne

CrystalMath: license has nothing to do with this

Ariadne

CrystalMath: we would be OK with a GPLv2 replacement for busybox

Ariadne

CrystalMath: it is strictly "busybox code is bad"

CrystalMath

but... you said it's because busybox is doing GPL enforcement

CrystalMath

that's what got me into the angry tirade

Ariadne

CrystalMath: the log you got is incomplete i think. what i meant is that busybox doing GPL enforcement made it easy to find budget.

CrystalMath

well that's still collaborating with anti-freedom people

CrystalMath

but at least it's not your idea

Ariadne

CrystalMath: there are other problems re: busybox and licensing that *do* need to be fixed. for example, it is possible to generate a busybox binary that contains GPLv2-only and GPLv3-only code.

Mar 28 18:26

Ariadne

CrystalMath: such binaries are not redistributable because GPLv2-only is not compatible with GPLv3

MinceR

so organizations like the Linux-Destroying Foundation like projects using GPL as long as those project don't actually enforce GPL?

MinceR

makes sense, they've got VMware

Ariadne

MinceR: we (Alpine) would enforce GPL on this busybox replacement if it were done under GPL.

MinceR

good

MinceR

and then they'll fund another replacement done by someone else? :>

Ariadne

that's not my problem

psydroid

if there had to be a busybox replacement it should be (A)GPLv3

CrystalMath

Ariadne: i understand now

psydroid

why go backward to GPLv2?

Ariadne

psydroid: i prefer GPLv2 because it has been tested in litigation

CrystalMath

Ariadne: sorry about that whole comparing you to a member of a death squad thing

psydroid

Ariadne, maybe it's time for GPLv3 to be tested in litigation as well

CrystalMath

gee, i can get pretty ridiculous

CrystalMath

psydroid: it has been in france

psydroid

CrystalMath, what was the outcome?

Ariadne

psydroid: I also find the Tivoization clause underspecified in GPLv3

Ariadne

at least in US locale, that could be a problem

Ariadne

i agree with GPLv3 in spirit, but i take a pragmatic approach to things

Mar 28 18:30

Ariadne

CrystalMath: anyway i hope you now understand that this is just business

Mar 28 18:30

psydroid

has FSF been working on a hypothetical GPLv4 to better specify the Tivoization and other clauses in GPLv3?

Mar 28 18:33

Ariadne

if 'anti-freedom' people wish to give us money to compose free software, i'm not going to say no. in this case, it solves real objectives in a way that propagates software freedom (but admittedly many in the Alpine community prefer simple licenses over copyleft these days)

Mar 28 18:33

Ariadne

psydroid: i don't think there is any energy in FSF to do a GPLv4

Mar 28 18:33

Ariadne

the GPLv3 drafting process took over a hundred calls and we wound up with a license that is flawed by comparison to its predecessor

Mar 28 18:34

Ariadne

what i am happy about is that AGPL became an officially blessed license of FSF in that process

Mar 28 18:34

Ariadne

with Hellwig vs VMware copyleft is in practical limbo anyway

Mar 28 18:35

Ariadne

i think there is more value in finding new strategies to promote software freedom

Mar 28 18:35

MinceR

revolution

Mar 28 18:36

MinceR

we can't rely on the state anyway

Mar 28 18:36

Ariadne

correct, the real problem with copyleft is that it exists in a structure created by the State, and tries to outwit the State

Mar 28 18:36

Ariadne

where we want to get is a situation where things are just automatically done as FOSS, because it is the obviously right way to do it

Mar 28 18:38

Ariadne

once you get there, copyleft doesn't matter anymore

Mar 28 18:38

Ariadne

because a bad actor choosing to abuse the commons wont have a product that is advantageous over what is available in the commons

Mar 28 18:39

Ariadne

CrystalMath: so basically, it comes down to finding ways to enable people to work full time on alpine initiatives while also making sure their expenses are met. as alpine has a relationship with LF (and many other organizations too), it makes sense to collaborate with LF to tap the companies which make billions off alpine for funding.

Mar 28 18:41

Ariadne

CrystalMath: this is something FSF used to do at a smaller scale a long time ago, but ASF and LF largely took the spotlight away for that.

Mar 28 18:42

MinceR

too bad the funding comes from sources that do not want the majority of software to be free software

The GPLv3 basically gets around the DMCA by having the author of the software agree that nothing in the software counts as an "effective technical protection" for implementing DRM, by releasing the software knowing that this clause is in the license.

Mar 28 19:21

Chaekyung

why won't my spellchecker allow signees, just signers

Chaekyung

"Grass-roots Support For Richard Stallman Has Reached 3500+ Signers" is that correct English? I want it to be signees for some reason

Chaekyung

is there another verb I'm looking for?

DaemonFC[m]

If the author of the software acknowledges that it's not DRM by releasing the software, then their later claim in court that it implements DRM would be ruined, so goes the thinking.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ee

DaemonFC[m]

So if any DRM mechanism hinges on a component licensed under the GPLv3, and you break the DRM with a modified component, then you cannot have violated the DMCA

Mar 28 19:23

My prediction for Windows and XBOX is that at some point they'll adopt Vulkan as their graphics API.

Mar 28 19:30

The product is going to be a dedicated gaming console, and the graphics API is really an aside. Nobody sees it. The XBOX will be a locked down computer with DRM, but it's going to move to open source underpinnings.

Why not? It works for Sony.

Mar 28 19:31

Obviously the GPL is a problem, but since they convinced all of these foundations to either throw it out, never use it, or not enforce it, no problem.

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-gcc.gnu.org | Remove RMS from the GCC Steering Committee

schestowitz__

I'm terrified by this campaign of harassment against the person who

schestowitz__

has given the biggest contribution to free software. This confirms to my

schestowitz__

eyes that the People *is not* the defensor of Liberty and only the law

schestowitz__

can defend it. The success of this campaign will prove that even the

schestowitz__

liberty to express personnal opinions seems excessive to the People.

schestowitz__

This is how terror begins.

schestowitz__

MinceR

"the law" can't defend anything

schestowitz__

FWIW I find this terrifying too. What scare me the most is that people

schestowitz__

supporting RMS are indeed scared of coming out publicly by the

schestowitz__

aggressiveness of the campaign itself.

schestowitz__

Each one of us can be morally judged by others: how do we behave, what

schestowitz__

we write, what's the company we work for... I can myself be very

schestowitz__

sensitive to some of these topics, but this is not what Free Software is

schestowitz__

about. Free Software is about Free Software and IMHO we should be here

schestowitz__

just to progress on that.

https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-March/235107.html

schestowitz__

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-gcc.gnu.org | Remove RMS from the GCC Steering Committee

schestowitz__

I think you identify an important problem of gender imbalance in our

schestowitz__

community. It is quite likely that finding ways to make our community

schestowitz__

more welcoming to demographic groups that are currently less present

schestowitz__

than in the distribution in the global population could reduce this

schestowitz__

imbalance.

schestowitz__

However, your diagnosis as to the supposed cause of the problem makes no

schestowitz__

sense to me. You said yourself that Stallman has not participated in

schestowitz__

our community for decades. Much as I know, his very hands-off influence

schestowitz__

in the SC has been mostly limited to licensing and strategic issues,

schestowitz__

e.g. the GPLv3 and Runtime Exception relicensing, to ensure copyleft

schestowitz__

defenses were in place to avoid abuse of such features as plugins.

schestowitz__

It may be very convenient to paint a boogey-man and expel it because

schestowitz__

that became fashionable. But sacrificing a goat or a lamb does not

schestowitz__

expiate our own sins, and expelling someone who hasn't even been present

schestowitz__

in the community can't be expected to make any real difference to that

schestowitz__

matter; it would rather make us seem *less* welcoming and more

schestowitz__

intolerant, and suggest other motivations for the move.

schestowitz__

Let's be real and honest, when was the last time anyone in the GCC

schestowitz__

community was called out for sexist behavior? When was there even

schestowitz__

conversation about it, and about how sexist behavior is not acceptable

schestowitz__

and not to be accepted among participants in the GCC community? What

schestowitz__

was our latest collective action to promote e.g. gender equity within

schestowitz__

the community?

schestowitz__

If we were to shift our collective blame over this very real and

schestowitz__

undesirable problem to someone who has any direct authority over the

schestowitz__

project, why not suggesting expelling e.g. the entire Steering Committee

schestowitz__

for its evident failure to address the problem? (I don't think it's a

schestowitz__

good idea, but that would be the first thing to try if we were to blame

schestowitz__

"management"/"leadership" rather than ourselves for it)

schestowitz__

What could support any rational belief that having RMS one extra level

schestowitz__

removed from our technical community would bring about anything

schestowitz__

resembling a solution to the very undesirable and unjust gender

schestowitz__

imbalance you've correctly identified?

schestowitz__

The action you propose, besides the absence of effect in making our

schestowitz__

community actually more welcoming, because he's already absent, would

schestowitz__

send the opposite of a welcoming signal to people with controversial or

schestowitz__

impopular opinions, to people at a certain spot in the neurodiversity

schestowitz__

spectrum, and to many others who oppose this sort of mob rule.

schestowitz__

How about we set out to take individual and collective actions that

schestowitz__

actually address the problem *in* our community? We don't need anyone's

schestowitz__

approval to call out sexist acts, nor to invite and train people with an

schestowitz__

interest in compiler technology, nor to maintain a welcoming atmosphere.

schestowitz__

A regime of terror to maintain a false appearance of a welcoming

schestowitz__

atmosphere won't get us there.

schestowitz__

If we undertake such actions, individually or collecetively, you might

schestowitz__

be surprised (but I won't be) that he, even absent from the community,

schestowitz__

would support these actions, which is the very opposite of the picture

schestowitz__

you paint.

schestowitz__

Our taking effective action on our own would help show what the real

schestowitz__

issues and intents are, and it would tell apart those who are really

schestowitz__

interested in solving the gender imbalance and the social injustices

schestowitz__

causing it, like you and me, from those who are abusing that flag as a

trojan horse to serve nefarious purposes, as suggested and illustrated

Mar 21 21:06:47 <lxo> one little secret I can share now is that at that time, when I wrote

schestowitz__

about campaigning for RMS to return to the board, the decision to reinstate him had very

schestowitz__

nearly already been made. people who didn't know about that may have taken it as

schestowitz__

pressure on the fsf, but it really wasn't

schestowitz__

Mar 21 21:07:26 <CrystalMath> lxo: honestly i don't see why being a board member means

schestowitz__

Maybe I will post something about this later

as there seems to be a misunderstanding

schestowitz__

Mar 21 21:08:47 <lxo> the fsf, and thus the board, should not cede to pressure. it's

schestowitz__

supposed to be driven by its mission charter, values and principles, not by pressure.

schestowitz__

pressure distracts from that

Mar 21 21:08:48 <CrystalMath> i just don't think it's wrong to criticize the organization

*psydroid is getting the idea that knauth was made president of the fsf as a placeholder and a distraction to keep the mob at bay while working on a suitable strategy to make rms return bigger and better than before while making sure that rms departing for minor aggravations would not and could not happen again as soon as the real motives of the detractors had been found out

that is, the people pushing for online voting probably have a lot of crossover with the vaccine proof by cell phone people

Also, you've seen IBM's involved in those ID schemes?

no, not directly

*schestowitz__ adds another reason IBM dislikes RMS (he opposes many such schemes)

XFaCE: it always amuses me

like so many people drool to travel

>Large tech firms are also getting in on the act. IBM developed its own app, called Digital Health Pass

many people lost all their savings already

XFaCE

>also working with IBM and CommonPass to help develop a set of universal standards for vaccine credential apps.

XFaCE

>CommonPass, IBM and the Linux Foundation have all stressed privacy as central to their initiatives. IBM says it allows users to control and consent to the use of their health data and allows them to choose the level of detail they want to provide to authorities.

schestowitz__

so next step is, you cannot enter some buildings without some electronic "passport"
