| Isambard_Prince | schestowitz[TR2], I wonder if anyone packaged XLibre for Ubuntu. | Dec 29 01:08 |
|---|---|---|
| Isambard_Prince | It seems like it would be worth doing. | Dec 29 01:08 |
| Isambard_Prince | Like it or not, Ubuntu does have a lot of users. | Dec 29 01:09 |
| Isambard_Prince | I'll probably end up doing a short blog post about how to throw the Rust replacements for sudo and coreutils out at some point but as of now they do not affect me because Neon uses LTS. | Dec 29 01:09 |
| Isambard_Prince | If the Rust replacements are not directly compatible, not even close, then this will end badly. | Dec 29 01:10 |
| Isambard_Prince | It will just convince people that rely on Ubuntu that they really have learned nothing from pulling in things like Unity and libav. | Dec 29 01:10 |
| Isambard_Prince | And that this period of relative stability was not because Canonical realized the folly of bringing in buggy replacements for existing software. | Dec 29 01:11 |
| Isambard_Prince | There's some kind of "loyalty program" that Toast restaurants are doing now. | Dec 29 01:30 |
| Isambard_Prince | I'm sure that this is costing the restaurants even more money to use Toast as a payment processor for credit cards. | Dec 29 01:30 |
| Isambard_Prince | And I wonder if they opted into it. | Dec 29 01:30 |
| Isambard_Prince | schestowitz[TR2], One of the recommendations I made to the owner of that restaurant was to get rid of Square. | Dec 29 01:31 |
| Isambard_Prince | It's not appropriate for a business with his volume of credit card transactions. | Dec 29 01:31 |
| Isambard_Prince | About the only place the merchant wins with Square and Toast is that they give you a cheap credit card terminal. | Dec 29 01:31 |
| Isambard_Prince | But then the fees are higher, forever, so they get you worse over time. | Dec 29 01:31 |
| Isambard_Prince | You can easily trim off 1% of every transaction and put it back in your pocket instead of the payment processor, by opting for a traditional reader. | Dec 29 01:32 |
| Isambard_Prince | But it's a higher up front cost, but it's not that bad. | Dec 29 01:32 |
| Isambard_Prince | It's a disaster dealing with the credit card banks and payment processors as a merchant. | Dec 29 01:33 |
| Isambard_Prince | They can easily take 4-5% of your GROSS receipts if you're not careful. | Dec 29 01:33 |
| Isambard_Prince | Then it forces you to raise prices, then they get MORE, and your customers are mad at you. | Dec 29 01:34 |
| Isambard_Prince | Some restaurants are starting to go cash only in this area. | Dec 29 01:34 |
| Isambard_Prince | They just stick an ATM at the entrance in case you need money. | Dec 29 01:34 |
| Isambard_Prince | Illinois passed a State law that says that credit card banks can't charge interchange fees on the part of the bill that is tax or tips. | Dec 29 01:35 |
| Isambard_Prince | So the banks are suing us. | Dec 29 01:35 |
| Isambard_Prince | They'll lose. | Dec 29 01:35 |
| Isambard_Prince | But they're really angry because they know that's a lot of money. | Dec 29 01:35 |
| Isambard_Prince | So if you go to Walmart and like 10% of that bill is a sales tax, then the bank can't charge interchange on that part. | Dec 29 01:36 |
| Isambard_Prince | If you go to a restaurant and there's a 8% tax and you leave a $10 tip, then no interchange on that. So that adds up for the bank. If $3.20 was a tax and $10 was a tip, that's $13.20 that a bank can't charge 3% of to the merchant. So they lose like 37 cents on that receipt. But then you multiply that by an entire state with 13 million people in it. | Dec 29 01:37 |
| Isambard_Prince | schestowitz[TR2], I've been trying to save some money. I've got this app and it lets me order leftover restaurant food that they had at the end of the day. | Dec 29 01:39 |
| Isambard_Prince | So far I've only been displeased by one surprise bag. | Dec 29 01:39 |
| Isambard_Prince | IKEA's restaurant is even on here. The bag usually ends up being all the stuff I'd have ordered anyway. | Dec 29 01:40 |

| Isambard_Prince | schestowitz[TR2], Yeah, I thought that killing HexChat was a bizarre decision for the Linux kernel. | Dec 29 17:52 |
| Isambard_Prince | Something's wrong when you have a million browser tabs open and a few have taken all the memory, and Linux decides to kill a chat program that's using 11 megabytes. | Dec 29 17:52 |
| Isambard_Prince | It did remind me to set browser.tabs.unloadonlowmemory to True. | Dec 29 17:54 |
| Isambard_Prince | It's been True on WINDOWS since Firefox 93. | Dec 29 17:54 |
| Isambard_Prince | But still off by default on Linux, so it'll run you out of memory and cause Linux to panic even though the feature does work. | Dec 29 17:54 |
| Isambard_Prince | :P | Dec 29 17:54 |
| Isambard_Prince | It's like they're TRYING to get us to use another browser, isn't it? | Dec 29 17:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | seems like systmd | Dec 29 17:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with its oom | Dec 29 17:55 |
| Isambard_Prince | There's a possibility that you might lose unsaved forms in a tab. Brave has a better memory saver than Firefox browsers. | Dec 29 17:55 |
| Isambard_Prince | In Brave, you can say "Never do it on these sites, but the rest are fair game." | Dec 29 17:55 |
| Isambard_Prince | That way if you get tab unloads it won't be your important sites. It'll go after YouTube or something. | Dec 29 17:56 |
| Isambard_Prince | I feel like if browsers are going to consume wads of memory, they need to unload unused tabs, but they need to let you whitelist, or have some sort of heuristics like "Okay, we go after known pigs first like YouTube. There's an unsaved form over here so we only do that one if the computer is about to crash." | Dec 29 17:57 |
| Isambard_Prince | Crashing a Youtube tab to save the system is unlikely to cause harm. | Dec 29 17:58 |
| Isambard_Prince | You just reload the tab if you want to watch the video later. | Dec 29 17:58 |
| Isambard_Prince | The browser should have a list of sites to never unload. | Dec 29 17:58 |
| Isambard_Prince | Like, they know people are probably using online office software for a reason. Then it should check for unsaved forms, those are off limits unless things get really bad. | Dec 29 17:59 |
| Isambard_Prince | Then there should be "Okay, what's actually causing the problem, and we go from worst to best." | Dec 29 17:59 |
| Isambard_Prince | The goal should be the least annoyance for the user and the worst offender for RAM use. | Dec 29 17:59 |
| Isambard_Prince | You put them together and kill that way. | Dec 29 18:00 |
| Isambard_Prince | That's supposedly what the OOM tries to do. | Dec 29 18:00 |
| Isambard_Prince | HexChat is not a good target because it doesn't really free up anything. | Dec 29 18:00 |
| Isambard_Prince | You free up 11 MB? That's not even a large enough amount to store something else really. | Dec 29 18:02 |
| Isambard_Prince | 11 MB was a lot of memory, in 1992. | Dec 29 18:02 |
| Isambard_Prince | By 1998 even my Windows 98 system had 128 MB of RAM, which was a lot by then. Especially since I gutted the OS and purged Internet Explorer and all and put in the Windows 95 B shell. | Dec 29 18:03 |
| Isambard_Prince | I think the entire OS used like 10-11 MB of RAM on startup after that. | Dec 29 18:03 |
| Isambard_Prince | It solved a lot of the instability problems. | Dec 29 18:03 |
| Isambard_Prince | I installed all the remaining hotfixes that mattered. I could do months of uptime under Windows 98 like that. | Dec 29 18:03 |

| Isambard_Prince | Pretty much. | Dec 29 18:09 |
| Isambard_Prince | You didn't need to be a college professor to rebut Bill Gates. | Dec 29 18:09 |
| Isambard_Prince | There was a simple utility called RoM II or RoM II SE depending on the version of Windows 98 you had. | Dec 29 18:09 |
| Isambard_Prince | You ran it, you gave it three files from the OEM service release of Windows 95. | Dec 29 18:09 |
| Isambard_Prince | You reboot, and there's the computer with no remnants of IE, Outlook Express, any of that garbage. | Dec 29 18:10 |
| Isambard_Prince | It was clean, like Windows 95 only with some bug fixes and better driver support and memory management. | Dec 29 18:10 |
| Isambard_Prince | There's just not a large difference with Windows 95 and 98. Almost all of the differences were IE. If you only did the parts that actually were an improvement it would be a very small delta. | Dec 29 18:11 |
| Isambard_Prince | It's not very user-facing other than that. | Dec 29 18:11 |
| Isambard_Prince | You can use WDM drivers, it has USB support, the memory manager can run code out of the disk cache. Some minor bug fixes. It can run a newer version of DirectX runtimes. It comes with some media codecs you could have added to Windows 95. | Dec 29 18:12 |

| Isambard_Prince | Windows Me could also be stripped of "the crap" and set up like this. | Dec 29 18:13 |
| Isambard_Prince | If you do that, it purges System Restore too, which never worked right. | Dec 29 18:13 |
| Isambard_Prince | The improvements over Windows 98 were a better defrag tool, Notepad could handle more text in the buffer, better support for Unicode that could be added to Windows 98, and the TCP/IP stack from Windows 2000. | Dec 29 18:14 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.fsf.org | Front Page — Free Software Foundation — working together for free software | Dec 29 18:14 | |
| Isambard_Prince | So there were improvements along the way but they were massively outweighed by adding things that just didn't work right. | Dec 29 18:14 |
| Isambard_Prince | It's like when you buy a new car and there's 3 things that work better than the last model and 20 things that are horrible that the last one didn't have. | Dec 29 18:15 |
| MinceR | > If you only did the parts that actually were an improvement it would be a very small delta. | Dec 29 18:15 |
| Isambard_Prince | Overall, it's worse. | Dec 29 18:15 |
| MinceR | yeah, they don't like to improve things | Dec 29 18:15 |
| MinceR | it sounds like actual work | Dec 29 18:15 |
| MinceR | changing the skin and selling it as a major feature, on the other hand, now that sounds fun to them | Dec 29 18:15 |
| Isambard_Prince | MinceR, Windows Me had an interesting feature called System File Protection. | Dec 29 18:16 |
| MinceR | committing code into competing products to fuck them up, even more so | Dec 29 18:16 |
| MinceR | yeah, i remember that | Dec 29 18:16 |
| Isambard_Prince | It would check for programs doing dll stomping or replacing other system files, and it would let it happen, then do a switcheroo to replace them with the known good copy. | Dec 29 18:16 |
| MinceR | why implement filesystem access controls if you can instead implement a bloated hack that accomplishes nothing useful? | Dec 29 18:16 |
| Isambard_Prince | It did protect the OS, but it also made software that ran on Windows 95 and 98 fail to work. | Dec 29 18:16 |
| Isambard_Prince | Humorously, it did accidentally add some resilience to malware because some malware happened to replace system files and did not anticipate this. | Dec 29 18:17 |
