MinceRis there a better public domain equivalent license?Jul 29 04:11
DaemonFC"(MP3 patents are expired as of 2017, and it’s very widely used even now, but Fraunhofer pressured the media to lie and suggest you couldn’t use it anymore due to being in the public domain. The media in the US is very corrupt and usually spins losses for corporations as a negative thing, even when they benefit the public. Such as with generic prescription drugs.)"Jul 29 04:12
britneymost of my music is in ALAC format, apple lossless, which has an open source decoder with a patent waiverJul 29 04:16

MinceRpretty sure GNU/Linux "apps" run on itJul 29 04:44
phaneso rly?  check your bank account with it Jul 29 04:44
MinceRit has several web browsers with which that could be done, if you have the patienceJul 29 04:45
MinceR(though the pro probably handles it better than the non-pro)Jul 29 04:45
phanesyou know some banks will only let you do transfers through the appJul 29 04:45
MinceRalso, i didn't know bank accounts were the sole purpose of "apps"Jul 29 04:45
bnchs>some banks will only let you do transfers through the appsJul 29 04:45

phanesi mean, if you dont see the fail there, explaining it isn't going to help youJul 29 04:48

britneyi don't have a bullshit bank, they support any browserJul 29 04:51
MinceRi have a bullshit bank and they still support several browsersJul 29 04:51
phaneslook im just saying, if you don't use your bank's app, you're probably not doing much with your bankJul 29 04:52
phanesits one example of all of the apps that a person uses heavily through any given dayJul 29 04:52
phanesits a good platform idea with a poorly thought out implementationJul 29 04:53
britneythe problem with android is that a lot of phones simply won't work with LineageOSJul 29 04:53
britneyyou gotta do research before buyingJul 29 04:53
phanesyeahJul 29 04:54
phaneslineage supports up to samsung M20Jul 29 04:54
britneyi dont want some bullshit firmware with apps i cant removeJul 29 04:54
phanessounds like i gotta wait a few years to try it outJul 29 04:54
MinceRi stopped using my bank's app when they decided they force a replacement and then charge a monthly fee for the new app, just as i was considering switching banks anywayJul 29 04:54
britneyoddly enough the google pixel phones are firmware friendlyJul 29 04:55
MinceRoh, and also, the signup process for the new app was also a lot of painJul 29 04:55
phanesim pretty happy with my s22 but admittedly i severely dislike androidJul 29 04:55
MinceRtoo bad google pixel phones are not memory card friendlyJul 29 04:55
MinceRand not headset friendly eitherJul 29 04:56
phanesthey try-harded the marketing for mine though its like this big wall of text for the name when you boot it up, its like SAMSUNG GALAXY ULTRA PLUS 22 or something like thatJul 29 04:56
MinceRsamsung branding as usualJul 29 04:56
phaneslike if you hold it wrong it might blast off into space Jul 29 04:56

britneyso i dont plan to get another iphone because of thatJul 29 04:57
phanesi dont touch anything appleJul 29 04:57

mateyand we told open source counterrevolutionaries to fuck themselves with a treeJul 29 11:07
mateywe could do it againJul 29 11:08

mateydo it again, learn from historyJul 29 11:08
mateyand attack attack attackJul 29 11:09
mateyTHAT can workJul 29 11:09
mateybut even then, its not the same as what they did to us. because we dont have the msm (they dont care. they never do) and we dont have 3000 traitors to giafam on our sideJul 29 11:09
mateymaybe someday we can inspire people to defectJul 29 11:09

psydruidmaybe gutting red hat was even the planJul 29 11:20
mateyof course it was the planJul 29 11:21
mateyibm Is Basically MicrosoftJul 29 11:21
mateythis is what they doJul 29 11:21
mateyits like elections with a good candidateJul 29 11:21
mateya good candidate has no chanceJul 29 11:22
psydruidred hat shopping itself around to companies including microsoft should have been a clear enough messageJul 29 11:22
mateytheir own party destroys themJul 29 11:22
mateythen the candidate ENDORSES the "real" chance of winningJul 29 11:22
mateyibm will lock in red hat customersJul 29 11:22
mateythen move them gradually to whatever they wantJul 29 11:22

mateymicrosoft does this with windowsJul 29 11:23
psydruidso now all of the commercial distributions with developers working on the core stack are in the Microsoft/IBM campJul 29 11:23
mateythe sole purpose of windows-- isnt softwareJul 29 11:23
mateyits to make customers do things microsoft wantsJul 29 11:23
mateyso now all of the commercial distributions with developers working on the core stack are in the Microsoft/IBM camp <- thanks to systemdJul 29 11:23
mateytheyre working for ibm, for freeJul 29 11:24
mateymost are working for freeJul 29 11:24
mateyto find out what ibm is really paying their "employees"Jul 29 11:24
mateytake the people they pay a salary toJul 29 11:24
mateythen divide that by the number of people working on itJul 29 11:24
mateythen multiply THAT by the number of people it takes for volunteers to add up to a 40 hour work weekJul 29 11:25
mateythen you have what people are really making per hourJul 29 11:25
mateycommercial free software is a sweatshipJul 29 11:25

mateyif its for a cause that benefits the world-- its real volunteer workJul 29 11:25
mateyif its for a cause that COSTS the world and benefits a multinationalJul 29 11:25

mateypeople would do well to remember what things were like, when we were winningJul 29 11:28
mateyit wasnt just the results that were differentJul 29 11:28
mateywe still did things the right way (mostly) back thenJul 29 11:28
mateyim not saying the big shift towards corporate dick sucking was the only mistake worth learning fromJul 29 11:28
psydruida whole approach doesn't just take software into account but also hardware, it's just that people don't realize their own power when it comes to buying products and supporting these corporationsJul 29 11:28

mateya whole approach doesn't just take software into account but also hardware <- it didnt have to when the fsf startedJul 29 11:29
mateybut it does nowJul 29 11:29
mateythe fsf can say thats not their focus-- thats fineJul 29 11:29
mateybut like with free cultureJul 29 11:29
psydruidIntel is moving support for graphics that are merely 2 years old to legacy statusJul 29 11:29
mateyif thats not their focus, they need to stay out of free hardwares way with their bullshitJul 29 11:29
mateyi dont mean agree on everythingJul 29 11:29
mateyi mean dont use their support network to keep free hardware from succeedingJul 29 11:30
mateyfsf isnt a monopolyJul 29 11:30
mateybut sometimes it behaves in a way that would be antitrust, if a for-profit did itJul 29 11:30
psydruidI expect these corporations to interfere with free hardware when it starts hitting their bottom lineJul 29 11:30
mateyi mean they abuse their influence to spread bullshit-- not as a rule, but some important and key exceptionsJul 29 11:30
mateywe cant allow that with free hardwareJul 29 11:30
mateyfree culture is guilty of the sameJul 29 11:31
mateycc betrayed the whole world-- twice!Jul 29 11:31
mateyfirst regarding their own missionJul 29 11:31
mateythen regarding free softwaeJul 29 11:31
mateycc should be scrappedJul 29 11:31
mateyI expect these corporations to interfere with free hardware when it starts hitting their bottom line <- hell they do alreadyJul 29 11:31
mateythey always willJul 29 11:31
mateywithout an anti-corporate movementJul 29 11:32
mateyi dont think this stuff will ever work for more than 20 yearsJul 29 11:32

mateyits nobleJul 29 11:32
mateybut someone has to stay behind and stay focused on the smaller stuffJul 29 11:33
mateylike its not enough to fight corporations-- and ignore what we were doing beforeJul 29 11:33
mateybut its also not enough to do what we were doing before-- and ignore corporate tyrannyJul 29 11:33
mateythe fsf does the latter, and fails Jul 29 11:33
mateyhumanity has to stand up nowJul 29 11:33

mateyits just that we dont have all the time in the worldJul 29 11:36
mateywhat people need to do is think of something that might help-- in some wayJul 29 11:36

mateyjoin us now and shareholder value <- the esr songJul 29 11:38
mateystupid dickJul 29 11:38
mateyfrom the beginning of open source, it looked less stupidJul 29 11:38
mateyhere we are on the other side, and theyre even dumberJul 29 11:39
mateyif they were smart at all, they would see where they fucked upJul 29 11:39
mateybut it was never about that. they only care about what they ACTUALLY HAVE nowJul 29 11:39
mateyand what they have now, is dick. Jul 29 11:39
mateyand theyre happy.Jul 29 11:39
mateyso they never wanted very much. just dick.Jul 29 11:39
mateythats stupidJul 29 11:39
matey"youll have absolutely dick, and youll be happy"Jul 29 11:40
mateyopen source dovetails so nicely with that shitJul 29 11:40

mateyi mean, graphs like that go /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/Jul 29 11:45
mateybut not in this direction ----------->Jul 29 11:45
mateythey do that in a general downward trendJul 29 11:45
psydruidalso IBM POWER and Z don't seem to be used that much anymoreJul 29 11:45
matey Z :)Jul 29 11:45
mateybecause naming their technology "swastika" would be too awkwardJul 29 11:46
psydruidso if the hardware isn't bought, you also cut off their software supplyJul 29 11:46
mateyyeah well cutting off the spread of ibm software is like cutting off the spread of hivJul 29 11:46
mateyit can only be a good thingJul 29 11:46
mateytoo bad that includes gcc (needs forked)Jul 29 11:47
mateygcc may be nearly impossible to fork, but llvm is worse in that regardJul 29 11:47
mateyit includes gdb as wellJul 29 11:47
mateyibm has bigger assets than red hatJul 29 11:47
mateyyes i consider gcc more valuable than red hatJul 29 11:47
mateybut theyre joined at the fucking hipJul 29 11:48
mateysuppose ibm goes under, what happens to gccJul 29 11:48
mateythere are mirrorsJul 29 11:48
mateywho works on them? Jul 29 11:48
mateytheres a culture behind all thisJul 29 11:48
mateythat culture is whats being dismantledJul 29 11:49
mateyso roy can say ibm will die, and it should, the sooner the betterJul 29 11:49
mateybut ask him whats going to happen to gcc, he hasnt got a clueJul 29 11:49
mateyonly one who does is eben moglenJul 29 11:50
mateyand he threatened someones job! so i guess its not importantJul 29 11:50
mateyWE HAVE RULESJul 29 11:50

mateyhehJul 29 11:50

mateyyou need someone who can poke holes in bullshitJul 29 11:52
mateyhes good at thatJul 29 11:52
schestowitz[TR2]gcc is not ibmJul 29 11:52
psydruidthis is what I imagine Russian Winnie the Pooh to be likeJul 29 11:52
mateyyou also need people who are crazy enough to go forward with an imperfect planJul 29 11:52
mateywhen its the best we can musterJul 29 11:52
schestowitz[TR2]gcc is some  hardware companies, suse, ibmJul 29 11:52
schestowitz[TR2]it's more than ibmJul 29 11:52
matey<schestowitz[TR2]> gcc is not ibm <- i dont have a problem i can stop drinking anytime i wantJul 29 11:53
mateygood luck with thatJul 29 11:53
mateygcc is 95% ibmJul 29 11:53
psydruidbe as cynical as mincer and go around hitting people with a wooden bat singing "pom pom pom pom pom"Jul 29 11:53
mateyso you take your 5% and have funJul 29 11:53
schestowitz[TR2]ibm pushes powerx to gccJul 29 11:53
schestowitz[TR2]gcc does many other archsJul 29 11:53
schestowitz[TR2]that compete with ibmJul 29 11:53
mateyi love that you think that changes the fact that ibm controls gccJul 29 11:54
schestowitz[TR2]no way 95%Jul 29 11:54
mateyin fact it already didJul 29 11:54
mateyit simply expands thatJul 29 11:54
mateyonly moglen is worriedJul 29 11:54
schestowitz[TR2]show that 95% of commits are |ibm empoloyees 100% of the time"Jul 29 11:54
mateythe rest are naiveJul 29 11:54
matey<schestowitz[TR2]> show that 95% of commits are |ibm empoloyees 100% of the time" ITS THEIR TURFJul 29 11:54
mateythey control the repo. they control the other devs.Jul 29 11:54
psydruidred hat is ibmJul 29 11:54
psydruidsourceware is ibmJul 29 11:54
mateythey also are substantial contributorsJul 29 11:55
mateyyou really do suck at this kind of math.Jul 29 11:55
mateyi suck at every kind of math, but this one is easyJul 29 11:55
matey<psydruid> sourceware is ibm <- yepJul 29 11:55
mateyand it does go beyond sourcewareJul 29 11:55
mateycancelling stallman was part of controlling gccJul 29 11:55
mateyanyone who misses that is just sucking their thumbJul 29 11:56
mateyim not saying that was the primary objectiveJul 29 11:56
mateyim saying it was a factor Jul 29 11:56
mateyagain, moglen is the only one sounding the alarm on thisJul 29 11:56
mateyfsf might be deafJul 29 11:56
mateyor just stupidJul 29 11:56
mateyor just worthlessJul 29 11:57

mateynope, nope, nopeJul 29 12:01
mateythe real question is why youre so well-adapted to running away from answersJul 29 12:02
schestowitz[TR2]you made an assertionJul 29 12:02
schestowitz[TR2]gcc is ibmJul 29 12:02

schestowitz[TR2]prove they are vast  majority of gcc commitsJul 29 12:02
mateyi wish i would be right less often...Jul 29 12:02
matey <schestowitz[TR2]> prove they are vast  majority of gcc commits <- youre being sillyJul 29 12:02
schestowitz[TR2]noJul 29 12:02
mateyyoure asking me to prove shit that doesnt even matterJul 29 12:02
mateyits not about commits-- but i explained thatJul 29 12:03

mateyi need the facs on this <- no you dontJul 29 12:03
mateyi give you the facts, you ask me to prove things they DONT DEPEND ONJul 29 12:03
mateyits not about the number of commits. its YOUR assertion that metric is the meaningful oneJul 29 12:03
mateynot mine.Jul 29 12:03
mateyyoure moving the goalposts or changing the subjectJul 29 12:04
mateygo right ahead. youre only running from the truthJul 29 12:04

mateyit wont DO anything, but its mildly interestingJul 29 12:06
mateyto me, gcc being at stake is more interestingJul 29 12:06
mateybut "we" dont cover that because "we" dont know shit about itJul 29 12:06

mateywith gcc ibm is just throwing shit at the wallJul 29 12:08
mateyim sure...Jul 29 12:08
mateyi still think gcc is more forkable than llvmJul 29 12:10
mateywhat i dont know is-- how forkable is gcc?Jul 29 12:10

schestowitz[TR2]as were many other novell execsJul 29 12:11
schestowitz[TR2]but gcc is not ibmJul 29 12:11
schestowitz[TR2]ibm is a big partJul 29 12:11
schestowitz[TR2]ut there are many stakeholkders other than ibmJul 29 12:12
mateyibm is the part that does the steering and the hostingJul 29 12:12
mateythey also do developmentJul 29 12:12
mateythe rest is gravyJul 29 12:12
mateyibm is the one moving to cut free software out of gccJul 29 12:12
mateyand turn it into something more mozilla-likeJul 29 12:12
mateyif it takes them 15 years, theyll do it anywayJul 29 12:12
mateywhy shouldnt they, when no one will even try to stop themJul 29 12:12
schestowitz[TR2]what about google, arm, intelll?Jul 29 12:12
mateywhat about baphometos?Jul 29 12:13
mateyas far as i know, google and arm and intel are not the major factors in this problemJul 29 12:13
mateyi dont even understand the questionJul 29 12:13
mateyseems like a change of subjectJul 29 12:14
schestowitz[TR2]they also play a roleJul 29 12:14
mateybut not THE roleJul 29 12:14
schestowitz[TR2]they also do not agree with rmsJul 29 12:14
mateythats ibm. again.Jul 29 12:14
schestowitz[TR2]assuming rms as a bropther, aarson (AAS)Jul 29 12:14
schestowitz[TR2]who worked at IBMJul 29 12:14
schestowitz[TR2]*aaronJul 29 12:14
schestowitz[TR2]sorry, standing while typingJul 29 12:14
mateythey also do not agree with rms <- are you implying that people who disagree with rms therefore have control of gcc?Jul 29 12:15
mateybecause thats certainly not my argumentJul 29 12:15
schestowitz[TR2]*ASS, not AASJul 29 12:15
mateyim implying that ibm has more control over gcc than any other partyJul 29 12:15
mateyalso, ibm is the one moving to have more controlJul 29 12:15
schestowitz[TR2]that\'s trueJul 29 12:15
mateydo you see anyone else doing that? i do not.Jul 29 12:15
schestowitz[TR2]but not all parties combinedJul 29 12:15
mateyi honestly dont beleve it matters to themJul 29 12:16
mateyibm and intel have a "special relationship"Jul 29 12:16
mateywhen blair stands up to the iraq bullshit, ill expect intel to give two shits about thisJul 29 12:16
schestowitz[TR2]a lot of giafam doJul 29 12:16
schestowitz[TR2]i=ibm, intelJul 29 12:16
mateydepends on what you mean by "this"Jul 29 12:16
mateyi happen to mean "gcc"Jul 29 12:16
mateyunless you think intel is going to stand up to ibm on thisJul 29 12:17
mateyor care if ibm controls gccJul 29 12:17
mateyintel doesnt matter hereJul 29 12:17
schestowitz[TR2]i'll come bakc to thisJul 29 12:17

mateyits been running for three hours (thats how you know its shitty)Jul 29 12:39
mateyits only 15mb of text, dont be ridiculousJul 29 12:39
mateyon the nice side, the cpu isnt working too hard. i consider that a featureJul 29 12:40
mateybut if this were any slower it wouldnt even be worth runningJul 29 12:40
mateyi could optimise it, but i rarely run it for anything that takes more than 1 minute. this is sort of a first.Jul 29 12:40
mateyrather i could try to optimise it and it would probably work after a few triesJul 29 12:41
mateyi estimated it would run for an hour. i was clearly offJul 29 12:42
mateyits looping through 15mb of data a stupid number of times. even so, it should be fairly predictable how long it takesJul 29 12:43
matey(the first thing it does is buffer all of that data in ram-- but after that its pretty conservative-- usage doesnt really go up from there)Jul 29 12:43
mateytry that with firefox Jul 29 12:44
matey3 hours later: "hey, im still using the same amount of ram-- wait, IM NOT FIREFOX!"Jul 29 12:44
mateytheoretically it could double, but any data that would accomplish that wouldnt make it useful to run the programJul 29 12:47

MinceRin dictatorships like red china, the state brainwashes most people to be authoritariansJul 29 15:04
MinceRin "western" dictatorship, typically 50% of the voters are "conservative"Jul 29 15:04

mateyits tied together with the state in so many ways nowJul 29 15:57
mateybut all that goes back to it being co-opted by an existing stateJul 29 15:57
mateyits rome that made christianity suck, not the other way aroundJul 29 15:57
mateyand statists still do thatJul 29 15:57
mateyits a big thingJul 29 15:57
mateybut for some reason we act like that magically SPRANG FORTH from christianity itselfJul 29 15:58
mateythe goal here is to understand religion and how it works-- both the good (if any) and the badJul 29 15:59
MinceRchristianity has had support for statism in its scriptures for a very long timeJul 29 15:59

MinceRpolytheism is inherently more tolerant than monotheismJul 29 16:01
mateymonotheism CAN be tolerantJul 29 16:01
mateybut it starts to look like polytheism thenJul 29 16:01
mateymonotheism and polythism are largely an argument about how to count thingsJul 29 16:02
mateycatholicism has 3 deities but only one really counts and besides theyre the sameJul 29 16:02
mateyso thereJul 29 16:02
mateypaganism can do that too, but we dont let them, so thereJul 29 16:03
mateyit counts when i do it, not when you do itJul 29 16:03
mateyits the same, but theres a nuanceJul 29 16:03
mateyall polytheism can be monotheistic through the silly tricks monotheism pullsJul 29 16:03
mateyand its fineJul 29 16:03
mateyits just that some monotheists get thisJul 29 16:04
mateyand most will never admit it :)Jul 29 16:04
mateyso monotheism often acts as a sort of "my shit doesnt stink" thingJul 29 16:04
mateyand joseph campbell understandably had this attitude towards itJul 29 16:04
mateyimo the people who really understand monotheism arent like that, so it doesnt bother meJul 29 16:05

mateyDouglas had not been an atheist all his life. When he was young, he was extremely religious. Let's remember that when he was born, his father was studying for a postgraduate degree in theology, and had a view to taking orders. Douglas was brought up in the Christian tradition.Jul 29 16:52
matey^ didnt know that until todayJul 29 16:52

MinceRthat's how terminology worksJul 29 16:55
mateyi mean youre basically joking that politics can be radical or notJul 29 16:55
mateywhich is of course trueJul 29 16:55
mateyjohn brown was a radical abolitionistJul 29 16:56
mateyand through his actions, and the slaveowners reaction to the same, the latter radicalised the "weak" (reformist) abolitionistsJul 29 16:56
mateyand it split a country and led to one of the (at the time) largest wars in historyJul 29 16:57

mateymatey: Isn't that more of a "course of action" kind of deal rather than the general opinion, as is what's always measured around religion? <- sureJul 29 17:00
mateybut imo the only advantage to distinguishing between weak and strong atheism Jul 29 17:00
XRevan86So pretty much passive things rather than real abolition action.Jul 29 17:01
mateyis to better understand that its not th same for everyoneJul 29 17:01
matey So pretty much passive things rather than real abolition action. <- yes but imo that distinction is beside the point that similar distinctions exist among both termsJul 29 17:01
XRevan86matey: I think that that is more of an expression thing rather than the inner state of mind.Jul 29 17:02
mateyand the idea was to dismiss that distinction as sillyJul 29 17:02
mateybut if if inadvertently demonstrated it further as non-silly, my point is validJul 29 17:02
mateyagain, imo. but i did explain it.Jul 29 17:02

XRevan86An atheist inherently doesn't take the whole concept of "god" seriously.Jul 29 17:04

*GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) has joined #techrightsJul 29 17:04

XRevan86Trying to put on a spectre of how real their believe god to be is… the line of thinking of a theist.Jul 29 17:05
mateyi dont get that part, atheists do that tooJul 29 17:05
mateyalso i dont think its a spectre, its a simple quantificationJul 29 17:06
mateyits a category or literally a subcategoryJul 29 17:06
XRevan86It's just not a natural way of thinking for an atheists, so they give weird answers when they're forced to look at their worldview from that perspective.Jul 29 17:06

mateyand that this is not a nonsensical statement, but a perfectly reasonable oneJul 29 17:08
MinceR"Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes."Jul 29 17:08
mateyatheists include people who believe there is no god and people who have no beliefJul 29 17:08
XRevan86Elves exist for no one, and yet we'll find weak aelfists and strong aelfists.Jul 29 17:08
mateyi thought this was a settled matter in the dictionary and general understandingJul 29 17:09
mateybut i guess anything can be disputedJul 29 17:09

schestowitz[TR2]"Ticket prices for Springsteen’s Born to Run tour in 1975 averaged about $8 for general admission. ($7.50 in Upper Darby, PA, when he played venues that small.) The minimum wage was $2.10 per hour. So a kid had to work less than half a day to earn enough to go to the gig. Today the minimum wage is a miserly $7.25 an hour.

DaemonFCWGN was talking about "lottery jackpots", so I replied:Jul 29 19:42
DaemonFCEach week, they sell about hundreds of millions of tickets that lose. They take most of the money. The pot grows until 8-9 weeks in, someone wins. After the state took half the money. Then when someone wins after billions of $20 tickets were sold (where the government already took half), they tax it and take half the "winnings". In the mean time, they pay "the news" to blast lottery propaganda about "winnings".Jul 29 19:42
DaemonFCMost of the people who play the lottery a lot are poor and will never win anything and don't understand just how bad the odds really are. This enables the state to avoid taxing rich people because they can get poor people to pay for everything through the lottery scam.Jul 29 19:42
DaemonFCEventually, when someone does win, it usually results in "the lottery winner's curse". It will go to someone with such poor money management skills that $300 million dollars disappears in 4-5 years and they die penniless in a trailer park.Jul 29 19:42
DaemonFCIn most states, the lottery wasn't even legal until about 1990. In Indiana it wasn't legal until about 1990, which is when the state realized just how much money it was foregoing by legalizing gambling, which is socially undesirable and ruins lives with addiction. Since the lottery was legalized, the state lied about where the money would go. It said roads and public pensions, then it cut taxes on the rich and stuffed the lottery money into the Jul 29 19:46
DaemonFCgeneral fund.Jul 29 19:46
DaemonFCToday, Illinois does the same thing with weed, and after they want to spend even more than the casinos, lottery, and legal dope take in, perhaps they'll make crack, shrooms, acid, meth, and opioids legal too.
