ripdoes boycott novell mean boycott openSUSE?Jan 01 00:51
oiaohmWe do have opensuse users in here so I guess not ripJan 01 00:53
oiaohmOur biggest problems is with items like monolight and mono where MS has the right to pull the right to use out from under our feet.Jan 01 00:54
oiaohmThat Novell agreed to with MS.Jan 01 00:54
oiaohmBasically in our eyes Novell sold the open source world out for there own gain.Jan 01 00:54
cubezzzI don't use opensuse Jan 01 00:55
cubezzzbut no, I don't go around saying don't use opensuse :)Jan 01 00:55
cubezzzsaying to othersJan 01 00:55
oiaohmLot of the hate against Novell would go away of contracts over stuff appeared that did truly protect the complet open source world including open source developers.Jan 01 00:56
ripwhat is monolight?Jan 01 00:56
oiaohmPeople fail to under stand how many open source developers are techincally commerical developers paid to work on Linux.  Most of MS contracts only cover you if you don't get paid.Jan 01 00:56
cubezzzreally my own real boycott is against microsoftJan 01 00:56
MinceRi do avoid *suseJan 01 00:57
oiaohmSilverlight implementation rip.  That even intel will not touch to run on Linux instead forced MS to provide them with Silverlight directly to Intel.Jan 01 00:57
oiaohmFor Linux.Jan 01 00:57
MinceRand i'd tell others not to use them even if the deal wasn't there, as i've found that *suse are of shoddy quality.Jan 01 00:58
MinceR014857 < rip> what is monolight?Jan 01 00:58
MinceRtypoed moonlight :)Jan 01 00:58
cubezzzMinceR, what do you use? I know I probably asked you before but I forgotJan 01 00:58
MinceRkubuntuJan 01 00:58
cubezzzah, rightJan 01 00:58
oiaohmI personally get driven up wall by kubuntu.  You will find everyone has there personal taste in distributions.Jan 01 00:59
cubezzzthat's definitely trueJan 01 00:59
ripok, i don't plan to run any implementation of silverlight for my browser.  and I also do not plan to use proprietary software on openSUSE... so i should be good to go, right?Jan 01 00:59
cubezzzmonolight lolJan 01 01:00
MinceRthe m$-novell deal threatens GNU/Linux users regardless of the distro they useJan 01 01:00
MinceRit's FUD against the entire platform.Jan 01 01:00
oiaohmM$-Novell deal is even a threat for Novell it only lasts 5 years.Jan 01 01:00
cubezzzdoes anyone actually use moonlight?Jan 01 01:01
*DaemonFC (n=chatzill@c-69-245-224-113.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has joined #boycottnovellJan 01 01:01
ripok, i don't like proprietary software installed behind my back... how is openSUSE in this regard... even the default Ubuntu installer installs non-free software w/o letting meknowJan 01 01:01
oiaohmMS does in there OEM partner sites.  It also complains badly when you go in there with firefox.Jan 01 01:01
oiaohmReason why I run debian ripJan 01 01:01
oiaohmAnd fedora.Jan 01 01:01
ripi also run FedoraJan 01 01:02
oiaohmNone of that sneaky stuff going on.Jan 01 01:02
ripand is one of the reason I would like to try out openSUSE... to increase my expertise as a home-grown novice sys-adminJan 01 01:02
cubezzzFedora for me tooJan 01 01:02
ripexpertise -> noviceseJan 01 01:02
cubezzzand Embedix Jan 01 01:02
cubezzz"Although Moonlight is free software, the final version will use binary-only audio and video codecs provided by Microsoft which will be licensed for use with Moonlight only when used as a browser plugin"Jan 01 01:02
MinceRafaik some leaders of the opensuse project are on novell payrollJan 01 01:03
cubezzzright there you can see the obvious problem(s)Jan 01 01:03
oiaohmTo be correct debian with custom kernel with openvz support running Fedora and gentoo contained at moment.Jan 01 01:03
DaemonFCyou can compile it to use gstreamer easilyJan 01 01:03
MinceRin my interpretation the boycott would cover opensuse as well as all other versions of Microsoft LinuxJan 01 01:04
MinceR(whichever remains today, anyway)Jan 01 01:04
oiaohmsuse was a company aquired by novell.Jan 01 01:04
oiaohmDevelopers from the suse company were not happy about the deal either.Jan 01 01:04
cubezzzto me the number 1 boycott is always the same: MicrosoftJan 01 01:04
cubezzzall other boycotts are secondaryJan 01 01:04
oiaohmSome even quit Novell over it but still work on opensuse  MinceRJan 01 01:04
MinceRyet we didn't see a fork of *suse made by original developers, independently of novellJan 01 01:05
MinceRnor did we see them all quit novellJan 01 01:05
oiaohmthe ones still side Novell are not what you call pro the deal.Jan 01 01:05
oiaohmYou don't leave a good paying job without another to goto MinceRJan 01 01:06
ripbut if you wanted a true FSF-sponsored distro... use gnewsense or utotuJan 01 01:06
rip?Jan 01 01:06
MinceRoiaohm: i would if my employer was bought by m$Jan 01 01:06
DaemonFCicckJan 01 01:06
MinceRDaemonFC: ick, the INTERCAL compiler? :)Jan 01 01:06
cubezzzyes, people want to keep their jobsJan 01 01:06
cubezzzthere are worse jobs than working for NovellJan 01 01:07
MinceRthere probably are better jobs, tooJan 01 01:07
DaemonFCMinceR: FSF doesn't do user friendlyJan 01 01:07
cubezzzyes :)Jan 01 01:07
DaemonFCthey also don't see mto care if they break half your stuffJan 01 01:07
oiaohmMinceR: Some think longer than you.  The deal ends in 5 years time.  To them they made SUSE and don't want to lose it.  Now if the deal is renewed at the 5 year mark we will see more quit.  MinceRJan 01 01:07
oiaohmOk less than 5 years time.Jan 01 01:08
oiaohm2011 the deal ends.Jan 01 01:08
cubezzzhmmmJan 01 01:08
MinceRDaemonFC: if that's the case, then nobody does user friendlyJan 01 01:09
riphas any1 here used openSUSE... does it install proprietary software behind your back?  and if so, how do you disable it?Jan 01 01:09
oiaohmYou would also notice that the mono project is getting more and more desperate to get followers.  MinceRJan 01 01:09
MinceRoiaohm: if they didn't want to lose suse, they shouldn't have sold it to novell.Jan 01 01:09
DaemonFCMinceR: Almost everything they do is pretty sadisticJan 01 01:09
MinceRoiaohm: even if this deal is over, they'll still be in m$'s shadowJan 01 01:10
DaemonFCStick a real person on a room with GnewsenseJan 01 01:10
MinceRDaemonFC: citation needed.Jan 01 01:10
MinceRDaemonFC: and don't smear FSF for proprietary driver and codec issues, as FSF didn't cause those issues.Jan 01 01:11
MinceRhw makers and codec makers and codec promoters caused those issues.Jan 01 01:12
DaemonFCdoesn't matter who caused themJan 01 01:12
MinceR015955 < DaemonFC> MinceR: FSF doesn't do user friendlyJan 01 01:12
DaemonFCit's forcing people to deal with themJan 01 01:12
MinceRthis implies that it matters.Jan 01 01:12
oiaohmBasically if by 2011 Mono and moonlight is not profitable for Novell why will they renew.   Guess where that would leave the lead developer behind Mono.Jan 01 01:12
DaemonFCoiaohm: It's worth the Microsoft kickbacks and subsidiesJan 01 01:13
MinceRusers should have the right to use their hardware and content with free software.Jan 01 01:13
MinceRDaemonFC: not if the community turns away from novell.Jan 01 01:13
MinceRand afaik it is turning away from novell. they're losing customers.Jan 01 01:13
oiaohmDaemonFC: Novell though they would be making money from the device market as well.Jan 01 01:13
DaemonFCpeople aren'tJan 01 01:13
DaemonFCthey're using more Mono every time a new Ubuntu is outJan 01 01:13
MinceRthe kickbacks are paid once, the goodwill is lost forever.Jan 01 01:13
oiaohmNo profit from the Ubuntu installs DaemonFCJan 01 01:14
MinceRthey won't pay for mono, even if it's in ubuntu.Jan 01 01:14
oiaohmBasically Novell is a business.Jan 01 01:14
oiaohmThey have to make profit they cannot send money in non profitable for ever.Jan 01 01:14
oiaohmThe sad thing for Novell is there standard Linux department is the most profitable.Jan 01 01:16
*cubezzz checks to see how Hurd is doingJan 01 01:39
cubezzzthe history of FOSS is interestingJan 01 02:00
cubezzzIn the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, it was normal for computer users to have the freedoms that are provided by free software. Jan 01 02:00
cubezzzthen basically a dark ages of computing happenedJan 01 02:00
cubezzzof course people and companies were paying a fortune for hardwareJan 01 02:02

YfrwlfOmar87: I'm saying that regardless of whether or not your theory is true, and of course may be, I think the force mainly driving the government/corporate tank is greed.  The assholes end up driving it out of greed, and the nice ones get used.Jan 01 15:15

YfrwlfYou're suggesting that a good chunk of it all is driven by a single set of motives (one group), and while that coooooould be possible, I think that probably mostly just random bastards are who's in control doing their own things for their own greed.Jan 01 15:17
Omar87Yfrwlf: actually, Free Masonry is not restricted to followers of a certain ethnic or reliogous group. There is an army of free masons here in the Middle East who claim to be "Muslims", for example.Jan 01 15:18
YfrwlfBasically, the theory that a huge number of different organizations are all motivated by one controlling group at the top is a classic conspiracy theory because it's very difficult to do that, to have random assholes cooperate under one flag.  To have secrecy among a huge group just isn't something that is ever very plausable.Jan 01 15:19
YfrwlfAnd this group of Muslims who aren't Muslims is a big group?  And you're claiming that news of their true flag and following has leaked out?  Yet, you're acting like it's a secret, so which is it?Jan 01 15:21
YfrwlfI mean, once you're outed, there's not point in hiding it anymore.Jan 01 15:21

-BNi/#boycottnovell-[diablod3/@diablod3] Mass Effect is $4.99 today on #Steam, I'm finally buying itJan 01 18:14
MinceRIn South Korea, Only Old People Use identi.caJan 01 18:14
YfrwlfMass Effect is for Linux?Jan 01 18:15
Diablo-D3that explains all the foreigners on identicaJan 01 18:15
Diablo-D3Yfrwlf: no, but its supposed to work in wineJan 01 18:15
Yfrwlfoh ok ^^Jan 01 18:15
YfrwlfI would feel silly paying for a game to play it on Pretend Windows though, heheJan 01 18:15
Diablo-D3everything Ive ever bought from Steam has been either $4.99 or $2.49Jan 01 18:16
Diablo-D3except for the orange box + hl1 anthology, which was $33.73Jan 01 18:16
Yfrwlfeven if I knew they'd know I was using Wine and Linux, I'd still be supporting them not making it for Linux :PJan 01 18:16
Yfrwlfso, piracy for me!Jan 01 18:16
YfrwlflolJan 01 18:17
Diablo-D3Yfrwlf: uh, you're retardedJan 01 18:17
Diablo-D3steam keeps track of who uses wineJan 01 18:17
YfrwlfI've "donated" to a lot of Linux games tho, like World of Goo ^^Jan 01 18:17
Diablo-D3also, why pirate a $5 game?Jan 01 18:17
Diablo-D3why even fucking bother?Jan 01 18:18
YfrwlfSteam also *sucks* with Wine, hardcoreJan 01 18:18
Diablo-D3steam works 95% on wineJan 01 18:18
Diablo-D3periodJan 01 18:18
Diablo-D3anyone who says otherwise is a trollJan 01 18:18
Yfrwlfnot for me, it sucksJan 01 18:18
Yfrwlfyes I'm trolling and my Steam actually works flawlessly, you're rightJan 01 18:18
Yfrwlf>.>Jan 01 18:18
Diablo-D3then you're using severely out of date wineJan 01 18:18
Yfrwlfif you call Ubuntu 9.04 Wine out of date, but I can try it again sometime perhaps, though I still hate Steam. :3Jan 01 18:19
Diablo-D3um, yes, ubuntu's wine _is_ out of dateJan 01 18:19
Diablo-D3they're still on like .2x Jan 01 18:19
YfrwlfTechnically it's not because they've still yet to release a "stable" branch newer than 1.0.1Jan 01 18:19
Diablo-D3yes, no one cares about thatJan 01 18:20
YfrwlfI really wish they'd release another stable version, instead of having some games break, and then later get fixed, and break again..Jan 01 18:20
Diablo-D31.1.35 is the newest versionJan 01 18:20
Diablo-D3if ubuntu is older than that, thats brokenJan 01 18:20
Diablo-D3periodJan 01 18:20
YfrwlfI care about it, when my games breakJan 01 18:20

Diablo-D3if windows didnt suck, wine wouldnt have to reverse engineer absolute shitJan 01 18:22
_goblindiablo-d3: Ive been lucky...Ive built an oldish Wine on Wolvix and since my requirements for Windows binaries are deminishing...ive found it more than enough.Jan 01 18:22
Yfrwlfyep, and if companies would make more Linux games, which is what I'm most interested in, not that running Windows proggies on Linux is a bad thing *shrug*Jan 01 18:22
Diablo-D3you could write the same thing that does linux->windows (instead of windows->linux) using backwards engineering the same wayJan 01 18:22
Diablo-D3and it'd be 100% finished in 2 yearsJan 01 18:22
Yfrwlfyay for WolvixJan 01 18:22
_goblin:) yep!Jan 01 18:22
Diablo-D3no needing to look at the non-public api docs, no needing to look at source codeJan 01 18:23
_goblinDistro of the year (for me)Jan 01 18:23
Diablo-D3but windows, no, its fucking absolute shitJan 01 18:23
Yfrwlfactually I think they already have, there's something for Windows you can install that will allow you to run Linux programs on your Windows desktop.Jan 01 18:24
Diablo-D3yeah, its called virtualbox.Jan 01 18:24
