| matey | i made an mp3 cd player before they were common. out of a 486 dx2. | Apr 29 00:42 |
| matey | this was before i switched to gnu/linux, and believe me, i had tried. | Apr 29 00:42 |
| matey | there was no hard drive. the computer didnt power itself off. | Apr 29 00:42 |
| matey | just a floppy and a cdrom. | Apr 29 00:42 |
| matey | no monitor, no keyboard, no mouse. connected it to the aux of my stereo (back when people had those things) | Apr 29 00:43 |
| matey | now i have dj monitors (cost less than the stereo did) with builtin amps that sound better than anything ive owned before | Apr 29 00:43 |
| matey | smaller too | Apr 29 00:43 |
| matey | the cd just had a folder for each album, with each song as mp3 | Apr 29 00:44 |
| matey | the floppy ran dos, qbasic.exe, and booted directly into the program | Apr 29 00:44 |
| matey | you turned the computer on, the program tried to write a file to the floppy | Apr 29 00:45 |
| matey | why? because it had two modes. and no hard drive. | Apr 29 00:45 |
| matey | if the floppy write protect switch (3.5") was set, it would play each album / song in order | Apr 29 00:45 |
| matey | if you unset it, it would shuffle | Apr 29 00:46 |
| matey | two years later i got a cd/mp3 walkman (this was before 2005 when i started boycotting sony) | Apr 29 00:46 |
| matey | but building my own thing using parts i already owned was more fun | Apr 29 00:47 |
| matey | i had a very cool dos-based mp3 player that was efficient enough to work on a 486 dx2 | Apr 29 00:47 |
| matey | im sure it would have never worked on a regular dx | Apr 29 00:48 |
| matey | a few years later i would create a newer dos-based mp3 player based on the same software, minus the floppy, plus a hard drive and screen | Apr 29 00:49 |
| matey | it was an old ruggedised gte laptop | Apr 29 00:49 |
| matey | one verticle line of pixels was crap, so it was annoying to use for computing but it was GREAT for an mp3 player with incredible capacity | Apr 29 00:50 |
| matey | also vertical | Apr 29 00:50 |

| matey | qbasic is both non-free and microsoft | Apr 29 01:07 |
| psydruid | I used my MSX2 at home, which probably taught me more than I would have in school anyway | Apr 29 01:07 |
| matey | i was interested in replacing it, but with what? | Apr 29 01:07 |
| techrights-news | Like VMware actually wants to improve the security of things.... https://kubernetes.io/blog/2022/04/28/ingress-nginx-1-2-0/ see http://techrights.org/wiki/VMware | Apr 29 01:07 |

| matey | i tried DOZENS of options. | Apr 29 01:07 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, but I mean, it's frozen in time on an OS without any network capabilities. | Apr 29 01:07 |
| DaemonFC | So it's not like it matters much. | Apr 29 01:07 |
| matey | it's frozen in time <- "stable" | Apr 29 01:07 |
| matey | on an OS without any network capabilities <- no, it works in windows | Apr 29 01:08 |

| matey | you can wget with the shell command. | Apr 29 01:08 |
| matey | if you can get wget for windows. which i could. | Apr 29 01:08 |
| psydruid | and I never used MS DOS and had a troubling Windows experience from the very beginning | Apr 29 01:08 |
| psydruid | so it didn't take me long to stop using it completely | Apr 29 01:09 |
| matey | i even use wget with python, because websites dont like urllib as much. | Apr 29 01:09 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-easyos.org | How and why EasyOS is different | Apr 29 01:09 | |
| matey | i mean my language supports urllib | Apr 29 01:09 |
| matey | i just never use that command, even though i wrote it. | Apr 29 01:09 |
| matey | and if you use wget, and you want to switch to something like a gemini analogue of wget | Apr 29 01:10 |
| matey | thats trivial to change | Apr 29 01:10 |
| matey | its just one string | Apr 29 01:10 |
| matey | at any rate id hate to go back to qbasic NOW | Apr 29 01:11 |
| matey | but it took many years to get to where nothing would make me miss it | Apr 29 01:11 |
| matey | /me wont miss sigils | Apr 29 01:11 |
| DaemonFC | I had MS-DOS 5 and then I upgraded to 6.22 by borrowing my aunt's floppies and copying them, which she in turn had copied from work, | Apr 29 01:26 |
| matey | by the time it came to using a native command line in gnu/linux, i wanted to, but i still didnt have experience | Apr 29 01:33 |
| matey | it made enough sense but in practice there were too many rules | Apr 29 01:33 |
| matey | too many ways to tell it to do something when you just wanted it to treat it as text | Apr 29 01:33 |
| matey | yes i knew how to escape but you had to use that, or forego using ' in text | Apr 29 01:34 |
| matey | and then you couldnt even use basic $p and $() | Apr 29 01:34 |
| matey | so it was all or nothing and not even that simple | Apr 29 01:34 |
| matey | many years later i would find that pdksh was a LOT simpler than bash | Apr 29 01:34 |
| matey | and hate bash for it | Apr 29 01:34 |
| matey | well, i dont hate bash. but it did make things needlessly complicated | Apr 29 01:34 |
| matey | i thought it was a unix thing. turns out its a bash thing. | Apr 29 01:35 |
| matey | but im sure some shells are worse. unlike bash i would have never installed them in the first place-- thats why bash gets the brunt of this | Apr 29 01:35 |
| matey | it was everywhere, and i thought that was a good thing | Apr 29 01:35 |
| matey | but pdksh would have made things so much easier | Apr 29 01:36 |
| matey | so i try to tell everyone to use it first if learning, if possible | Apr 29 01:36 |
| matey | then if they still want an orbital death ray to shoot themselves in the foot, they can install bash or use it because its already there | Apr 29 01:36 |
| matey | it has a couple features i like. i wish i could remove the others. but then it would not be bash. | Apr 29 01:37 |
| matey | as for dos, dont miss it | Apr 29 01:37 |
| matey | freedos isnt free, a bit like freebsd | Apr 29 01:38 |
| matey | dosemu is freedos, actually | Apr 29 01:38 |
| matey | dosbox is the most free way to do dos, but unless im playing a dos game that cant be recompiled i have no use for it at this point | Apr 29 01:38 |
| matey | at one point i liked all three. i was a freedos fan before it was using gnu/linux | Apr 29 01:39 |
| matey | before i was | Apr 29 01:39 |
| matey | and dosemu, if youve used it, for some things was cooler than dosbox | Apr 29 01:40 |
| matey | but its not free, you need a non-free compiler for the parts of freedos it needs | Apr 29 01:40 |
| matey | or some other (even less free) dos instead. | Apr 29 01:40 |
| matey | as dosemu... isnt an emulator? at least it isnt standalone, afaik | Apr 29 01:40 |
| matey | for some things <- for graphics you wanted dosbox anyway | Apr 29 01:41 |
| *bnchs has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Apr 29 01:42 | |
| matey | im not sure how old freedos is now but i think i tried it or at least looked at it 20 years ago | Apr 29 01:44 |
| matey | when it was in alpha | Apr 29 01:44 |
| *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@v6xmmrhxmbafc.irc) has joined #techrights | Apr 29 01:44 | |
| matey | so ive tried freedos which isnt free (per fsd) | Apr 29 01:44 |
| matey | and opendos which isnt open (per osd) | Apr 29 01:44 |
| matey | but there is no libredos, unless its an emulator | Apr 29 01:45 |
| matey | maybe-- maybe-- the dos in reactos is free | Apr 29 01:46 |
| matey | its 32bit, and the non-free compiler for freedos is 16bit | Apr 29 01:47 |
| matey | so that (reactos) would be sort of a free dos-like os | Apr 29 01:47 |
| matey | youre probably better off using wine than dosemu | Apr 29 01:48 |

| matey | something with "fuck you, your majesty" in it | Apr 29 02:14 |
| matey | /me doesnt really hate the queen much per se, but is pretty much done with the royals regardless | Apr 29 02:14 |
| matey | i mean i wouldnt pick on her, just her and everyone like her | Apr 29 02:14 |
| matey | then its fair | Apr 29 02:15 |
| matey | that means elon too | Apr 29 02:15 |
| matey | i dont bother with the barely rich, i dont give a shit about milliionaires, they certainly benefit from a fucked up world | Apr 29 02:16 |
| matey | but they arent the cause | Apr 29 02:16 |
| matey | billionaires should not exist | Apr 29 02:16 |
| matey | took me a long time to agree with that too | Apr 29 02:16 |
| matey | theres just no justification for them. there is no honest way to have (and keep) a billion dollars | Apr 29 02:17 |
| matey | of course thats not an easy thing to prove | Apr 29 02:17 |
| matey | whats fair? | Apr 29 02:17 |
| matey | i simply think its the conclusion every reasonable person will come to-- not via the same route-- eventually | Apr 29 02:17 |
| matey | billionaires arent reasonable people. they may appear like one if you get to know them. | Apr 29 02:18 |
| matey | im sure we could get high with elon and have a good time | Apr 29 02:18 |
| matey | hes still richer than slaver jeff bezos | Apr 29 02:18 |
| matey | its not the rich that bother me. its the world they just sit there and pretend to fix, while making it even worse | Apr 29 02:19 |
| matey | its the damage they do that bothers me | Apr 29 02:19 |
| matey | it doesnt bother me that someone CAN (very loosely speaking) own 95% of the media, really | Apr 29 02:20 |
| matey | it bothers me that somenoe (again, VERY loosely speaking) DOES | Apr 29 02:20 |
| matey | really its 5 corporations, and more than one person. thats a bit beside the point, its a silly quibble | Apr 29 02:21 |
| matey | that sort of monopoly helps to kill how many innocent people? | Apr 29 02:21 |
| matey | helps to justify what level of organised crime? | Apr 29 02:21 |
| matey | billionaires have no fucking excuse | Apr 29 02:22 |
| matey | and the queens only half of one | Apr 29 02:23 |
| matey | still a bit ridiculous | Apr 29 02:23 |
| matey | in a capitalist, statist world that wasnt eating itself the royal family would hardly be the biggest of our concerns | Apr 29 02:24 |
| matey | but since theres no such thing, the royal family is kind of a silly thing to have | Apr 29 02:25 |
| matey | but whatever | Apr 29 02:25 |
| matey | i have nothing big against the royals, they just arent doing the world any real favours by existing | Apr 29 02:26 |
| matey | its as much a farce with them as it is with everyone richer and/or more powerful | Apr 29 02:26 |
| *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Apr 29 02:27 | |

| matey | financial systemdeification | Apr 29 02:27 |
| matey | not my line of reasoning but, it illustrates the issue | Apr 29 02:27 |
| matey | an economy designed for people like the queen makes about as much sense as a distro designed for systemd | Apr 29 02:28 |

| matey | its like having cancer treatments being developed by a company that gets most of its money from nuclear power | Apr 29 08:18 |
| mjg59_ | I don't entirely agree | Apr 29 08:18 |
| matey | of course you dont | Apr 29 08:18 |
| mjg59_ | I think developing free software is basically always a social good | Apr 29 08:18 |

| *goosestepping_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Apr 29 08:19 | |
| matey | because that outweighs the obvious conflict of interest | Apr 29 08:19 |
| mjg59_ | But tying free software just to the licensing means we don't obtain the optimal outcomes | Apr 29 08:19 |
| mjg59_ | Yeah, corporations have no incentive to undermine proprietary software | Apr 29 08:19 |
| matey | or support freedom of users | Apr 29 08:19 |
| mjg59_ | So simply writing more free software doesn't solve the problems that free software aimed to solve | Apr 29 08:19 |
| mjg59_ | And I don't think we can fix that with licenses | Apr 29 08:19 |
| matey | yes, that much is true | Apr 29 08:20 |
| matey | and no, licenses cannot fix that | Apr 29 08:20 |
| mjg59_ | So I don't think the problem is that corporations are writing free software | Apr 29 08:20 |
| matey | doesnt follow. | Apr 29 08:20 |
| matey | thats a leap. | Apr 29 08:20 |
| matey | i think corporations are part of the problem | Apr 29 08:20 |
| mjg59_ | If they didn't write free software they'd probably still be writing just as much proprietary software | Apr 29 08:21 |
| matey | you say licenses cant fix that | Apr 29 08:21 |
| mjg59_ | And it's the proprietary software that we want to get rid of | Apr 29 08:21 |
| matey | but they end up co-opting free software and dragging it back to a non-free system | Apr 29 08:21 |
| matey | over and over again | Apr 29 08:21 |
| matey | its a pattern many of us can plainly see (some deny its there) | Apr 29 08:21 |
| mjg59_ | I feel like that would happen even if they weren't writing free software | Apr 29 08:21 |
| matey | but with them writing free software, they gain trust they should never have | Apr 29 08:22 |
| mjg59_ | If free software is a social good then we need society to fund it | Apr 29 08:22 |
| matey | its like the scorpion and the frog | Apr 29 08:22 |
| mjg59_ | It ought to be possible for someone who's writing code that benefits everyone to be able to live a comfortable life as a result | Apr 29 08:22 |
| mjg59_ | Well | Apr 29 08:23 |
| mjg59_ | Everyone should be able to live a comfortable life | Apr 29 08:23 |
| mjg59_ | But if we take the more general position, then it's not a free software problem - it's that society is set up to fund corporations, not people who are willing to do work on behalf of everyone | Apr 29 08:23 |

| matey | i personally think corporations are not at all above sabotaging free software and turning decades of volunteer work into products that benefit corporations more than users. | Apr 29 08:35 |
| matey | in practice, not only in theory. | Apr 29 08:35 |
| matey | and the halloween documents imply at least, that was exactly the plan all along | Apr 29 08:35 |
| matey | microsoft learned it from ibm | Apr 29 08:35 |
| matey | google learned it from microsoft | Apr 29 08:35 |
| matey | i mean its not a conspiracy theory if its a plan outlined very clearly in verified memos | Apr 29 08:36 |
| matey | which just happen to reflect what actually happens a decade or two later | Apr 29 08:36 |
| matey | in a way that benefits the two best-known exploiters of such methods | Apr 29 08:37 |
| matey | namely ibm and microsoft, the same damn companies that dominated things 30-40 years ago | Apr 29 08:37 |
| matey | you would think that if liberating users was a goal | Apr 29 08:37 |
| matey | the power wouldnt all flow back to the very place it rested when all the control of users was building up the first time | Apr 29 08:38 |

| tpmd | I think we're conflating problems a bit here. Corporations as "for profit" entities are bad because they take responsibility out of the equation of making money - like an AI given the problem of solving illness and coming up with the solution of killing everyone. | Apr 29 10:08 |
| tpmd | Nobody should "trust" anybody (be it private entity or public corporation) without checking, hence the "open" part of the "source code". If it's not "open", talking about corporations doing bad or good things doesn't make sense, as you don't even know what they're doing. | Apr 29 10:08 |
| tpmd | As for "open source" not being enough. Well, even though it opens the conversation of being useful or not, when it comes with strings attaches it's definitely less useful. It may come with strings attached if its license doesn't allow you to modify or rip parts of it apart, especially if its complex enough, or it has closed source dependencies. | Apr 29 10:08 |

| activelow | microsoft couldn't do any worse to "free software" than what fedora envisions | Apr 29 10:45 |
| activelow | i noticed a while ago, given Xorg is mentioned too, the old non-evdev kbd and mouse drivers for Xorg disappeared from the gentoo tree already (hence i keep those inside an overlay since then) | Apr 29 10:46 |
| activelow | meaning, systemd-evdev already deeply creeped into X11 - which is absolutely unnecessary to do, given evdev offers an additional attack vector against input devices for no obvious reasons | Apr 29 10:47 |
| activelow | next on their roadmap, is Xorg fbdev, which is fast, efficient and stable - in comparison to modesetting/kms/drm with the cortex a53 board i got here Xorg-fbdev is much faster | Apr 29 10:49 |
| activelow | there is zero issues with those, /dev/fb0, the old Xorg input drivers for keyboard/mouse without evdev, Xorg fbdev driver (except for missing randr support) | Apr 29 10:50 |
| activelow | evdev input drivers is another systemd related change rarely noticed by anyone it happened... i removed evdev entirely from kernel and userspace | Apr 29 10:56 |

| activelow | and i suspect, it will be difficult to convince kernel, to not expose any /dev/fb0, hence they attack Xorg to remove fbdev from there (for no good reason) | Apr 29 11:00 |
| activelow | finally, if Fedora succeeds with their plans, the entire keyboard input and and video output are exposed to and entangled with UEFI and systemd (even when systemd daemon is removed, there is other components which were altered too) | Apr 29 11:04 |

| tpmd | Yes, bundleware is a vicious "boiling frog" problem. Like the promise of Android as an open source operating system, just to be followed by the buyer (Google) slowly moving every feature into Google Play Services. Or the promise of Microsoft for making an open source terminal emulator, just don't dare look on how to compile that beast without bringing in a load of closed source dependencies and tooling, so you have to use Microsoft Store to install it. | Apr 29 11:14 |
| tpmd | Or Visual Studio Code that also is loaded with telemetry and is moving functionality into thin extensions that use remote services. Or the VirtualBox that's open sourced without the binary extensions that make it usable for more than automation. | Apr 29 11:14 |
| tpmd | And now on systemd, it's not just the fact that it goes against the Unix principle of doing one thing only and doing it well, it's also going the way of developing into a massive complex beast that only few understand but many depend on. And if/when it goes in directions not supported by some users, it will be a pain to rip apart those ties (rooting for Devuan, MX Linux and the like). It needs careful treading, as the RedHat/IBM clients are | Apr 29 11:15 |
| tpmd | corporations, and interests not always align. | Apr 29 11:15 |
| activelow | to my knowledge Devuan and MX Linux didn't bother with dbus, evdev, udev ... which are all part of or related to systemd | Apr 29 11:24 |
| activelow | it is only BaphometOS which removed this | Apr 29 11:25 |
| activelow | currently i am working on wiping the last pieces of Adobe/Microsft/Apple font system from X11, which was another such attack, long before systemd | Apr 29 11:26 |
| *alextee (~alextee@t48ica27td84g.irc) has joined #techrights | Apr 29 11:26 | |

| activelow | microsoft freetype is strongly entangled with X11... mkfontscale build time dependency, for bitmpapped fonts which are not-scalable... what an irony | Apr 29 11:53 |
| activelow | bitmapped fonts aren't supposed to be scaled, that's why those look horrible when they are scaled outside their intended resolution | Apr 29 11:53 |
| tpmd | Very good observation. MX Linux I think has even systemd installed, even though it doesn't seem to use it. | Apr 29 11:57 |
| tpmd | But while I agree, and identifying the problems is a good first step on doing better, I also am pressed on choosing the "best" (or less bad) options. After all, time and resources are precious. I don't always have the luxury to use open source or to cut out all aspects of "open source" that I consider detrimental, especially when helping others do their job. So it's more about a balancing act, of getting things done now, while not having to pay dearly | Apr 29 11:57 |

| activelow | the reason, old PCF and PSF fonts didn't look good anymore on Linux is this: historically displays had far lower resolutions and bitmapped fonts were scaled down to match this resolution, and provided a decent font output even with low resolutions | Apr 29 12:00 |
| activelow | in recent years, display resolutions increased, and those old bitmapped fonts weren't available, and if low-resolution bitmap fonts are scaled up this looks horrible | Apr 29 12:01 |
| activelow | yet this doesn't mean freetype/vector/scalable fonts were necessary, all that was required was some bigger bitmapped fonts (PSF for console, PCF for X11) | Apr 29 12:01 |
| activelow | truetype was a massive scam and fraud, to funnel cash into apple/adobe/microsoft pockets, who argued decent fonts were available without them and their freetype | Apr 29 12:03 |
| activelow | instead of providing some appropriate bitmapped fonts for higher resolutions displays, ibm adobe mapple enforced the freetype font system as a "standard" with patent claims attached to this | Apr 29 12:04 |
| activelow | and without it, virtual terminals supposedly couldn't have decent bitmapped fonts for higher resolution displays anymore... what a madness, and they got away with it, even within "free software" and GPL smeared onto | Apr 29 12:05 |
| activelow | the level of intellect, it is an insult | Apr 29 12:07 |
| activelow | not sure exactly what's used with vector fonts, maybe spline-approximation, and some gaussian filter curves, that's not worth a patent, that's maths hundreds of years established before | Apr 29 12:08 |
| activelow | and it isn't the most challenging math by far | Apr 29 12:08 |

| activelow | then adobe/microsoft/apple came along and argued: see, those old fonts look awful on high resolutions screen, here suck this, our patented font rendering, which too is standard | Apr 29 12:21 |
| activelow | remaining silent about the fact, there font system wasn't required at all, the old bitmapped fonts simply didn't match the higher resolutions, which could have been fixed without the patented font system (freetype/truetype) | Apr 29 12:22 |
| activelow | *their | Apr 29 12:22 |
| activelow | besides, bitmapped non-scalable fonts have advantages too: it is much simpler to implement, much faster, and sufficient for almost all scientific authoring and publishing | Apr 29 12:23 |
| activelow | furthermore, TeX typesetting covers those aspects, which aren't with freetype anyway, which is mathematical expressions | Apr 29 12:23 |
| activelow | nonetheless, the patented freetype creeped into TeX too (LaTeX, XeTeX, won't review this in detail) | Apr 29 12:24 |

| matey | the point is that corporations have interfered with free software (using "open source" which is a scam) and dragged it BACKWARDS towards being less free | Apr 29 16:11 |

| matey | hence calling bullshit | Apr 29 16:12 |
| matey | which started with "I think we're conflating problems a bit here." | Apr 29 16:12 |
| matey | no. its not "conflating" two of your straw men takes | Apr 29 16:13 |
| matey | its talking about a different problem entirely. | Apr 29 16:13 |
| matey | so as i said, i think youre full of shit. | Apr 29 16:13 |
| matey | "corporations, and interests not always align." <- big picture: theyre completely at odds | Apr 29 16:14 |
| matey | tiny pedantic details: SOMETIMES there are SMALL GAINS designed to mislead people or create trust where it should not exist | Apr 29 16:14 |
| matey | small gains. big losses. simple math. a child could figure it out. | Apr 29 16:14 |
| matey | but an idiot could dance around it all day and miss it. | Apr 29 16:15 |
| matey | as could a liar | Apr 29 16:15 |
| matey | MX Linux I think has even systemd installed, even though it doesn't seem to use it. <- mx gives a choice of init by design. | Apr 29 16:16 |
| matey | so it uses it, depending on boot mode. | Apr 29 16:16 |
| matey | But while I agree, and identifying the problems is a good first step on doing better, I also am pressed on choosing the "best" (or less bad) options. <- well, thats open source for you. reframe the problem, pretend to solve it. | Apr 29 16:16 |
| matey | After all, time and resources are precious. I don't always have the luxury to use open source <- corporations have cost MORE time by co-opting decades of hard work and dragging them backwards | Apr 29 16:17 |
| *bnchs (~bnchs@zb9v6af5e7i5n.irc) has joined #techrights | Apr 29 16:18 | |
| matey | reframe it as a "practical" issue (thats part of the open source scam, has been for decades) and then say "well, im just doing what works 'best'" in a way that is meaningless but appears intelligent | Apr 29 16:18 |
| matey | I don't always have the luxury to use open source or to cut out all aspects of "open source" that I consider detrimental, especially when helping others do their job. So it's more about a balancing act <- well, youre a shill and an idiot. | Apr 29 16:18 |
| matey | and probably a bot, but thats incidental. | Apr 29 16:19 |

| matey | progress, XRevan86? | Apr 29 16:24 |
| XRevan86 | matey: Not a game-changer, in my opinion, because of the footage released by Meduza on April 7th about March 23-24, 25, 28-30, but it's nice to have additional footage. | Apr 29 16:25 |
| activelow | XRevan86: rumors were Ukrainian military committed attrocities too | Apr 29 16:25 |
| activelow | in Bucha | Apr 29 16:25 |
| XRevan86 | Also the videos on Meduza were released raw in high resolution. I've even seen fake reports that tried to look like CNN using that earlier released videos. | Apr 29 16:26 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: Those rumours don't even make sense according to the official Russian military timeline. | Apr 29 16:27 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: Keep in mind that the Ministry of Defence said that there were no bodies on the street when the army left Bucha on March 30th. | Apr 29 16:27 |
| matey | "they werent in the streets. we dumped them in the skips" | Apr 29 16:28 |
| XRevan86 | matey: I made a more conservative statement because I don't want to accidentally overstate and I don't want to bother looking for the actual quote. | Apr 29 16:28 |
| matey | thats good, one of us should be the voice of reason | Apr 29 16:29 |
| matey | might as well be the one paying more attention to details | Apr 29 16:29 |
| XRevan86 | The idea was that when Russia left Bucha, everything was civil there. | Apr 29 16:29 |
| techrights-news | "Interesting Times is the seventeenth Discworld novel and certainly not the place to start.

| XRevan86 | So when the facts come in that paint a very different picture, that's serious. | Apr 29 16:30 |
| matey | the premise of an argument is the part that never changes | Apr 29 16:30 |
| matey | people like activelow (not always! ive seen exceptions) start with a premise, from which an argument proceeds which could appear to... go somewhere | Apr 29 16:31 |

| matey | but if the error is in the premise, its going to still be in the premise at the end of the argument | Apr 29 16:31 |
| XRevan86 | Putin made a statement that Russia has proof that the Russian army is innocent here. Well, I'm waiting for that proof. A person saying they have proof is not proof in my book. | Apr 29 16:31 |
| XRevan86 | Earlier Lukashenko said that it was the Brits. | Apr 29 16:32 |
| matey | and it will be in the conclusion, because the premise of an argument doesnt change | Apr 29 16:32 |
| XRevan86 | If they're going to show the "proof", it sure is going to be entertaining. | Apr 29 16:32 |

| activelow | nice, X11 is back, all fontconfig magic removed, with beautiful fonts, and terminal is much faster now since expensive anti-aliasing/hinting isn't necessary anymore with PCF fonts... | Apr 29 17:56 |
| activelow | next, trying to hack suckless.org simple terminal to utilize X11 pcf fonts instead of IBM Mapple freetype | Apr 29 17:56 |
| activelow | it is not perfect yet; nonetheless, given the fact rxvt-2.7.10 is deprecated for 20years it seems good | Apr 29 17:57 |
| activelow | and i think, if suckless st can be hacked to support PCF fonts, this will be the fastest ever terminal emulator available | Apr 29 17:57 |
| *zleap has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | Apr 29 18:05 | |
| activelow | and both, rxvt-2.7 and suckless st are known to support some graphics related capabilities, required for ReGIS and sixels... | Apr 29 18:09 |
| matey | https://thecodinglove.com/when-the-intern-updates-the-npm-packages-in-production <- oh was he an intern? i thought he was just a dick who couldnt tell putin from any other russians | Apr 29 18:13 |
| matey | nice, X11 is back, all fontconfig magic removed, with beautiful fonts, and terminal is much faster now since expensive anti-aliasing/hinting isn't necessary anymore with PCF fonts... <- theres also some way to do this with fontconfig magic (no expensive anti-aliasing/hinting) but obviously that wouldnt save compiling without c++ etc | Apr 29 18:15 |
| matey | if suckless st can be hacked to support PCF fonts, this will be the fastest ever terminal emulator available <- not if their scrolling routine is slower | Apr 29 18:16 |
| matey | its the scroll (through millions of lines if needed) that makes xterm crazy fast | Apr 29 18:17 |
| activelow | rxvt/xterm speed is nowhere near of suckless st | Apr 29 18:18 |
| activelow | and fontconfig does have a c++ dependency graph, and i havn't decided yet, wether fontconfig/freetype will be kept or not | Apr 29 18:18 |
| activelow | certainly i'll keep the dependencies against mapple freetype minimal (because it is slow) | Apr 29 18:19 |
| matey | fwiw ive just compared xterm and urxvt | Apr 29 18:19 |
| matey | and urxvt is even faster, so xterm must be some compromise due to urxvt not having some feature i want | Apr 29 18:19 |
| matey | xterm isnt faster than urxvt, at least not here | Apr 29 18:19 |
| matey | that was reported in error | Apr 29 18:19 |
| activelow | i don't know, there is some tricks with any terminal, such as async scrolling, PCF fonts... which boost the speed of all of them considerably | Apr 29 18:20 |
| matey | of course | Apr 29 18:20 |
| activelow | however, suckless st would be perfect, with the tests i made, i had seen suckless being 10x faster than an already tweaked rxvt | Apr 29 18:20 |
| activelow | yet, i'll have to hack this, because it still depends on fontconfig, which i do _not_ accept inside a terminal emulator | Apr 29 18:21 |
| activelow | i mean, fonconfig/freetype with ghostscript is acceptable, it doesn't belong into a terminal emulator | Apr 29 18:21 |
| *zleap (~zleap@user/zleap) has joined #techrights | Apr 29 18:27 | |
| matey | fonconfig/freetype with ghostscript is acceptable, it doesn't belong into a terminal emulator <- i dont think there are any terms with ghostscript available | Apr 29 18:30 |
| matey | though saying theres no place for ttf in a term window is definitely not a statement i would make | Apr 29 18:31 |
| activelow | didn't say this; i say _most_ terminal emulators utilize fontconfig/freetype, which is a very bad design choice | Apr 29 18:31 |
| matey | you know a lot of them let you turn it off | Apr 29 18:31 |
| matey | and use bitmapped fonts | Apr 29 18:31 |
| psydroid2 | suckless actually sucks more | Apr 29 18:32 |
| matey | for example, xterm and urxvt are both using bitmapped fonts here | Apr 29 18:32 |
| matey | xterm can use ttf but doesnt by default | Apr 29 18:32 |
| activelow | ^ which is how it should be with a terminal emulator | Apr 29 18:32 |
| matey | i mean, im quite fond of using the vt with framebuffer turned off | Apr 29 18:33 |
| matey | so the fonts are hardware-based | Apr 29 18:33 |
| matey | many times ive fiddled with grub to accomplish this | Apr 29 18:33 |
| matey | just the config file | Apr 29 18:33 |
| matey | though one thing that was great about dos... | Apr 29 18:33 |
| activelow | correction: foncfonfig/freetype does _not_ have a c++ dependency graph (only harfbuzz/gnome/gtk do) | Apr 29 18:34 |
| matey | vga (hardware) fonts 80x50 (too small for long term use) and better, 80x43 | Apr 29 18:34 |
| matey | 80x43 mode is very nice | Apr 29 18:34 |
| matey | so much more to work with than 80x25 | Apr 29 18:34 |
| matey | but not as ridiculously small as 80x50 | Apr 29 18:34 |
| activelow | yet there is other reasons, to carefully look at what terminal emulators are capable of, or aren't: ReGIS and sixel, to mention another one, BSD pty support, no-c++ | Apr 29 18:34 |
| matey | if thats possible (without framebuffer) in gnu/linux, its arcane knowledge (afaik) | Apr 29 18:35 |
| matey | ditto openbsd, i mean i wouldnt be surprised if it were possible, i dont know how | Apr 29 18:35 |
| matey | yet there is other reasons, to carefully look at what terminal emulators are capable of, or aren't: ReGIS and sixel, to mention another one, BSD pty support, no-c++ <- i get those are goals of your project | Apr 29 18:35 |
| matey | <psydroid2> suckless actually sucks more <- it really depends | Apr 29 18:35 |
| matey | i love dwm, i have yet to fall in love with st | Apr 29 18:36 |
| activelow | it isn't project-specific matey, some criteria apply to _all_ terminal emulators | Apr 29 18:36 |
| matey | some criteria apply to _all_ terminal emulators <- in your mind at least | Apr 29 18:36 |
| activelow | ReGIS and sixels existed long before i was born matey; and terminal emulators didn't require anti-aliasing/hinting together with a GFLOP of processing power to output characters into terminal | Apr 29 18:38 |
| activelow | better question the sanity of those who implemented terminal emulators differently, without vector graphics support for scientific work | Apr 29 18:40 |
| matey | O3RO3R better question the sanity of those who implemented terminal emulators differently <- yes, its crazy to have fonts that make it so you can use the computer longer with less train | Apr 29 18:42 |
| matey | strain | Apr 29 18:42 |
| matey | i mean they should be optional of course | Apr 29 18:42 |
| matey | but even giving the option? crazy! | Apr 29 18:43 |
| activelow | are you implying eye fatigue can be cured with font anti-aliasing and hinting which require a 1GFLOP of processing power? | Apr 29 18:44 |
| matey | i mean just the word "terminal emulator" comes from old german termingung munglattung which means "youd be fucking crazy to use vectors here" | Apr 29 18:44 |
| matey | cured? no | Apr 29 18:44 |
| activelow | i am well aware of the problem of eye fatigue, and too know what is helpful with it | Apr 29 18:44 |
| matey | can anti-aliasing REDUCE strain? fuck yes | Apr 29 18:44 |
| matey | and too know what is helpful with it <- this should be fun to learn | Apr 29 18:45 |

| *activelow (~activelow@tb3bujhpbsxqn.irc) has joined #techrights | Apr 29 18:47 | |
| matey | so 22 cents worth of that processor is what it costs to have font anti-aliasing | Apr 29 18:47 |
| matey | in 2013. | Apr 29 18:47 |
| matey | i think some people are happy to spend 22 cents on anti-aliased fonts | Apr 29 18:48 |
| matey | hell, even if it was two dollars-- which it was closer to in 2011 | Apr 29 18:48 |
| activelow | font anti-aliasing and hinting need alot of processing power if done real-time within terminal emulator; that's why cmatrix screen-saver was hitting 100% CPU usage | Apr 29 18:48 |
| activelow | which is ridiculous, a terminal emulator caused this | Apr 29 18:49 |
| matey | in 2007 the cost of a gflop was $50 | Apr 29 18:49 |
| matey | in 2003 it was $100-- see a pattern here? | Apr 29 18:49 |
| matey | which is ridiculous, a terminal emulator caused this <- YES! its a well known fact that a ps4 would cost half as much if people used bitmapped fonts in unix. | Apr 29 18:49 |
| activelow | thing is, my terminal emulator now requires <0.001GFLOPS and hits close to zero cpu usage instead of 100% | Apr 29 18:50 |
| matey | thats cool | Apr 29 18:50 |
| matey | but its not CRAZY to use more | Apr 29 18:50 |
| matey | in 2015 the cost of a gflop was down to 8 cents. but it should cost 5 cents. | Apr 29 18:51 |
| matey | 2017? five years ago? 3 cents. | Apr 29 18:52 |
| matey | 3 cents to have anti-aliased fonts | Apr 29 18:52 |
| matey | of course by then, some idiot at ibm probably increased the power needed to TWO gflops. well, thats 6 cents. but it should cost 5 cents. | Apr 29 18:53 |
| matey | thats on a 38 teraflop system | Apr 29 18:54 |
| matey | which is far more than i need | Apr 29 18:54 |
| matey | but no matter what you do, anti-aliased fonts are not the biggest problem here | Apr 29 18:54 |
| matey | lots of things are a hundred times crazier than that | Apr 29 18:54 |
| matey | really useless stuff | Apr 29 18:54 |
| activelow | of cause, there is many more issues; such as missing ReGIS and sixels support, which is _the_ feature of a *nix virtual terminal, to do scientific work with | Apr 29 18:55 |
| *psydroid2 fragt sich, ob es eine terminale krankheitsausstattung fΓΌr termingung minglattung gibt | Apr 29 18:55 | |
| matey | prices (of a gflop) generally fall at around an order of magnitude every five years | Apr 29 18:55 |
| matey | i dont think anyone is going to be happy doing "scientific work" with sixel resolution, when youve got a framebuffer RIGHT THERE | Apr 29 18:56 |
| matey | theyre going to use pixels | Apr 29 18:56 |
| matey | sixels are a cool hack | Apr 29 18:57 |
| activelow | and there is ReGIS too | Apr 29 18:57 |
| matey | pretending theyre some kind of scientific instrumentation in 2022 is a bit silly | Apr 29 18:57 |
| matey | im not familiar with regis | Apr 29 18:57 |
| activelow | or better to say, there isn't | Apr 29 18:57 |

| *alextee has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Apr 29 19:00 | |
| matey | heres some devils advocacy (only for the sake of sanity) | Apr 29 19:02 |
| matey | maybe the reason that terminals dont have full capabilities compared to 40 years ago... | Apr 29 19:02 |
| matey | is that 40 years ago they were trying REALLY HARD to sell as many of those as possible, AND added a bunch of (relatively) useless features, just like gnome does to gnu/linux today. | Apr 29 19:03 |
| matey | and, realising this, instead of keeping a lot of that cruft, it was dumped over time from the 80s to the present. | Apr 29 19:03 |
| matey | just a theory. | Apr 29 19:03 |
| matey | also keeping in line with present trends, im equally confident that at least a few USEFUL features were abandoned as well.. | Apr 29 19:04 |
| matey | and bringing those back would be cool | Apr 29 19:04 |
| matey | but making that out to be so much more damning than it really is... | Apr 29 19:05 |
| matey | useless features (lots of them) get added to whatever theyre trying to sell NOW | Apr 29 19:05 |
| matey | sometimes, useful features are abandoned as a result. bring those back | Apr 29 19:05 |
| matey | dont presume the useless features of yesterday are the same as the few important features that were lost | Apr 29 19:05 |

| matey | i dont miss 16bit memory paging AT ALL, even if it would be cool to do some 8 bit computing | Apr 29 19:06 |
| matey | 16bit memory paging was a fucking pain in the arse (at least for me, some people handled it quite deftly. some people code in rust too) | Apr 29 19:07 |
| matey | when things went 32 bit, some basic tasks got A WHOLE LOT easier | Apr 29 19:07 |
| matey | 64 bit (afaict) has few such advantages for say, writing scripts. | Apr 29 19:08 |
| matey | maybe if youre using c its 100x better | Apr 29 19:08 |
| matey | i dont know | Apr 29 19:08 |
| matey | i dont pretend to know | Apr 29 19:08 |
| matey | but the one area where 64bit is surely better is if you need more than xGB of ram | Apr 29 19:09 |
| matey | then im sure trying to do that with 32bit is 16bit memory paging all over agin | Apr 29 19:09 |
| matey | as it happens i never use that much ram | Apr 29 19:09 |
| matey | never. but some do. | Apr 29 19:10 |
| matey | i dont say its crazy to use 64 bit when you need that much ram, if you really need that much ram | Apr 29 19:10 |
| matey | if you need that much ram for some gnome bullshit, that probably is crazy | Apr 29 19:11 |
| *psydroid2 wouldn't want to deal with anything less than 32-bit these days, but preferably just 64-bit (except on x86, which is just awful in any bitness) | Apr 29 19:12 | |
| matey | id love to deal with 8 bit for some things | Apr 29 19:13 |
| matey | but making an os that is 50x as crippled for the sake of hardware i dont actually own seems... | Apr 29 19:13 |
| matey | well, like a fun experiment, not a law of physics | Apr 29 19:13 |
| psydroid2 | like a learning experience? | Apr 29 19:13 |
| matey | yes, a learning experience | Apr 29 19:14 |
| matey | if treated as an experiment, that seems a lot more rooted in "not crazy" than declaring it to be | Apr 29 19:14 |
| matey | well... the next templeos | Apr 29 19:14 |
| matey | the thing about experiments is youre supposed to learn from them | Apr 29 19:16 |
