DaemonFC"Oh, look, now you can chat with your XBOX Live friends from your computer! Durrrr, and it only adds another 300 megs to the game!"Feb 20 00:08
DaemonFC"It breaks Wine? Fantastic!"Feb 20 00:08
DaemonFC"Bugs in the Live client stops your game from loading even on Windows until you track down another 60 MB file to install to patch it with? Super!"Feb 20 00:09
DaemonFCMinceR, Clearly the Games For Windows Live is there with the end user experience in mind, you see?Feb 20 00:09
DaemonFC:DFeb 20 00:09
MinceR:>Feb 20 00:10
DaemonFCIts presence is unnecessary, it adds nothing to the game except a few hundred megs of support files and bugs, and it's there because?Feb 20 00:10
DaemonFCMicrosoft said jump and Bethesda asked how high?Feb 20 00:10
MinceRmaybe m$ holds them hostage or somethingFeb 20 00:11
DaemonFCOh look, it adds an icon to Games Explorer, which takes exactly as much effort to open as the Applications folderFeb 20 00:11
MinceR"adopt our newest crap or we'll accidentally break compatibility in our next update"Feb 20 00:11
MinceRor they can still afford to pay bribesFeb 20 00:11
DaemonFCbut in Games Explorer, it tells you what Windows thinks of your PC on a confusing scale that changes meaning with every Windows release :)Feb 20 00:11
DaemonFCnothing at all like "You need a Pentium 4 or higher"Feb 20 00:12

DaemonFCthat's just too non-specific, and besides, why make the user stop and think "Why do you only need 1 GB of RAM with XP, but 2 GB is the minimum if you have Windows 7?"Feb 20 00:12
DaemonFC:)Feb 20 00:13
DaemonFCMinceR, This Games For Windows Live bullshit is just adding to the hostility the game publishers have already fostered towards themselves with DRMFeb 20 00:14
DaemonFCit's another reason why the game won't just work out of the box, even if you have all of the requirements :)Feb 20 00:14
DaemonFCI think it's just a poorly executed attempt by Microsoft to distinguish Windows as a gaming platform now that lots of stuff runs as well or better on three gaming consoles and the MacFeb 20 00:15
MinceRstuff runs on macos?Feb 20 00:16
DaemonFCsuperficially it's easier to say "Your PC has to be a 5.3 on the Windows Experience Index" to play this gameFeb 20 00:16
DaemonFCbut WEI is a terrible gauge of video game performanceFeb 20 00:16
DaemonFCit's pegged to the lowest score out of all your hardwareFeb 20 00:16
MinceRit also doesn't tell you what to upgrade, does it?Feb 20 00:16
DaemonFCso if your video card is an 8 and your hard disk is a 5.2, then you can't play the game according to WEIFeb 20 00:17
DaemonFCeven though it would work fineFeb 20 00:17
DaemonFC:)Feb 20 00:17
DaemonFCit's just more meaningless bullshit that offers little insight into how the software will ultimately end up runningFeb 20 00:18
DaemonFCbut thanks to the copyright law making it illegal to return opened software, you're stuck with itFeb 20 00:18
DaemonFCwin or loseFeb 20 00:18
DaemonFCthat had the effect of paralyzing me whenever I went to buy any softwareFeb 20 00:19
DaemonFCknowing that it might not work at all and there was no taking it back :)Feb 20 00:19
DaemonFCthis WEI is the most misleading thing I've seen Microsoft do in a while, and it's subtleFeb 20 00:20
DaemonFCyou have PCs that don't meet the WEI score that run the software fine and PCs that far exceed the WEI score where performance is poor or it won't run at allFeb 20 00:21
DaemonFCso it's meaningless, the old way of just giving two paragraphs of baseline hardware left me less confused as to whether or not it would workFeb 20 00:21
DaemonFCtrying to boil down thousands of PC components into a two digit numerical rating system is by far the most fucking stupid thing Microsoft has EVER done to "standardize" the PCFeb 20 00:23
MinceRcan't you sue if your PC has a high enough WEI and yet the game does not work?Feb 20 00:23
DaemonFCnopeFeb 20 00:24
DaemonFCmost software EULAs say the company's liability is limited to damage to your computer caused by the software, not to exceed the purchase price of the softwareFeb 20 00:24
DaemonFCor other fun things like all claims have to go to an arbitrator of their choice and you give up your right to sue by running the softwareFeb 20 00:24
DaemonFC:)Feb 20 00:24
DaemonFCand the EULA may specify that it will be executed under the laws of a state you don't even live inFeb 20 00:25
DaemonFCSo I'm going to drive 3,000 miles across the country to sue Microsoft in Washington state courts for $60?Feb 20 00:25
DaemonFCrightFeb 20 00:25
DaemonFCif anyone actually read any of this shit they're agreeing to, proprietary software probably wouldn't exist because they'd be too afraid to buy itFeb 20 00:27
DaemonFCspending hundred of dollars on something that could damned well be full of bugs that never get fixed that may not even work to begin with, where the producer of the software has no liability to speak of is insaneFeb 20 00:27
DaemonFCgovernments do it to the tune of millions of dollars every dayFeb 20 00:28
MinceRnahFeb 20 00:29
MinceRpeople are very good at agreeing to bad dealsFeb 20 00:29
MinceReven defending itFeb 20 00:29
MinceR"nah, they'd never do that!"Feb 20 00:29
DaemonFCso there's Linux distributions out there that are pointless and plenty of free software programs that don't work for me, I'm out 20 cents for a blank CDFeb 20 00:29
DaemonFCboo hooFeb 20 00:29
DaemonFCgo back to using some that do work for meFeb 20 00:29
MinceRi've heard people vigorously defend the steam EULA, for exampleFeb 20 00:29
MinceRand m$ EULAs, of courseFeb 20 00:29
DaemonFCat least if, Debian doesn't work for me, I'm not in it to the tune of $300Feb 20 00:30
MinceR(claiming that the worst parts of the latter are unenforceable)Feb 20 00:30
MinceRif debian doesn't work for you, you can fix itFeb 20 00:30
MinceRwith winblows, you get a black box full of shitFeb 20 00:30
DaemonFCI think that the term, let the buyer beware applies with EULAsFeb 20 00:30
cubezzzI can't think of anyone who defends the Microsoft EULA unless they are Microsoft employedFeb 20 00:30
DaemonFCif you can read through a EULA and stomach it, then it's your right to accept itFeb 20 00:30
DaemonFCbut it's probably not a great ideaFeb 20 00:33
cubezzzeven then it's iffy :)Feb 20 00:33
MinceRcubezzz: they're deluded fanboysFeb 20 00:33
MinceRbelieving that they have something to gain from pushing m$ crapFeb 20 00:33
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[rrix/@rrix] plasma keyboard container's input context is kinda finicky ;*(Feb 20 00:33
DaemonFCthe only time I've seen anything good come out of Microsoft was if they HAD to improve it because of fierce competitionFeb 20 00:33
DaemonFCthen once the competition is gone, the product disappears or becomes bitrotFeb 20 00:33
MinceRi don't think i've ever seen anything good come out of m$ that they actually madeFeb 20 00:33
cubezzzI'm hearing that even with windows 7 their are problemsFeb 20 00:33
cubezzzthey'reFeb 20 00:33
cubezzznot that I've even bothered with itFeb 20 00:33
DaemonFCthey let IE fester for 10 years and then all of a sudden, it supports all of CSS 2.1, a lot of draft CSS 3 and HTML 5, proper support for SVG, and so on so forthFeb 20 00:33
cubezzzyeah they want controlFeb 20 00:33
DaemonFCthey could have done it at any time, but there were no Firefox 4, Chrome 10, and Opera 11 back thenFeb 20 00:33
DaemonFCso no needFeb 20 00:33
MinceRi've seen some issues with vista7Feb 20 00:33
MinceRand heard of moreFeb 20 00:33
cubezzzone customer tells me they can't turn their computer off :)Feb 20 00:33
MinceRafaik ie9 is still ages behind in standards supportFeb 20 00:33
cubezzzshould be interestingFeb 20 00:33
MinceRdespite hype from m$Feb 20 00:33
DaemonFCMinceR, I've taken a good look at itFeb 20 00:33
DaemonFCit's roughly on par with Firefox 4 for standards supportFeb 20 00:34
oiaohmcubezzz: some of the ones where people cannot turn there computer off is bios makers should be shot.Feb 20 00:34
DaemonFCthere's been a lot of back and forth bickering, but that's where it's atFeb 20 00:34
cubezzzoiaohm, I just want bios source code...Feb 20 00:35
MinceRDaemonFC: so you're saying this is a lie?  http://people.mozilla.com/~prouget/ie9/Feb 20 00:35
TechrightsBot-trTitle: IE9 & HTML5 .::. Size~: 9.55 KBFeb 20 00:35
DaemonFCFirefox 4 supports things IE 9 doesn't and vice versa, they've been nitpicking more than arguing Feb 20 00:35
cubezzzaward used masm 5 though :-/Feb 20 00:35
cubezzznot sure if they still use it Feb 20 00:35
MinceRoiaohm: i've seen winblows xp silently give up on shutdownsFeb 20 00:35
MinceRand even just plain ignoring the commandFeb 20 00:35
DaemonFCMinceR, Firefox is better security-wise* and has the advantage of speed (provided you forcibly remove Microsoft's tampering)Feb 20 00:36
DaemonFCspeaking of the Windows build that isFeb 20 00:36
oiaohmMinceR: Yes.  background service will not die issue.Feb 20 00:36
cubezzzif it's "updating" it will wait until it's doneFeb 20 00:36
MinceRi've also seen it start to "reboot" and give up half-way through shutting down applicationsFeb 20 00:36
DaemonFCalso, Firefox has a shorter design cycle because it's not pegged to any particular OSFeb 20 00:36
oiaohmMinceR: I wrote a service for fun once for XP that simply keeps on refusing to die.Feb 20 00:36
DaemonFCso even if they're closely matched now, Firefox will one up them in 6 monthsFeb 20 00:36
oiaohmMinceR:  the result is you cannot shut the machine down or reboot it.Feb 20 00:36
DaemonFCthe next IE will be a year or 2 laterFeb 20 00:37
DaemonFCIE is a kind of rolling roadblock for web developersFeb 20 00:37
cubezzzuh, pulling the plug will shut it down :)Feb 20 00:37
MinceRoiaohm: what if the user kills it from a task manager?Feb 20 00:37
MinceRor winblows fails at that too?Feb 20 00:37
cubezzzunless it's the M5 of courseFeb 20 00:37
oiaohmMinceR: I was nasty.  I had it also delist from the userspace task list.Feb 20 00:37
DaemonFCand Microsoft can do standards compliant mode without any risk of sites actually fixing their broken markupFeb 20 00:38
oiaohmMinceR: So only the NT kernel knew it was there.  Nothing from userspace could see that it was running.Feb 20 00:38
cubezzzoiaohm, you writing malware? ;0Feb 20 00:38
DaemonFClook how many sites invoke IE 7 mode alreadyFeb 20 00:38
DaemonFCor are in the compatibility list for IE 6 modeFeb 20 00:38
oiaohmcubezzz: Secuirty demostrations. Of why particular things were going wrong.Feb 20 00:38
oiaohmcubezzz: NT duel table system is really really bad.Feb 20 00:39
DaemonFCMinceR, Then you have iWeb I think it was, Crapple's WYSIWYG editor, that invokes IE 7 mode in IE 8 even though IE 8 supports anything that iWeb can generateFeb 20 00:39
MinceRi've seen an iWeb siteFeb 20 00:39
DaemonFCeven in cases where it breaks in IE 7 modeFeb 20 00:39
DaemonFCthat's comicalFeb 20 00:39
MinceRit was one of the most retarded sites i've ever seenFeb 20 00:39
cubezzzmost sites seem icecat/firefox friendly nowadaysFeb 20 00:39
MinceRusing all sorts of bloat just to produce a butt-ugly galleryFeb 20 00:39
DaemonFCKonqueror with the webkit kpart is what I'm using most latelyFeb 20 00:40
cubezzzsites with rotating gifs and lots of flash are annoying :)Feb 20 00:40
DaemonFCI have Firefox 4 nightlies thoughFeb 20 00:40
oiaohmcubezzz: And the main reason for the duel table system was in the first place so users could not see what the kernel was doing.Feb 20 00:40
MinceRi'm mostly using firefoxFeb 20 00:40
DaemonFCI don't typically fire up Firefox unless something breaks badly in a better browserFeb 20 00:40
cubezzzpfft, I compile my own (because with FC1 you have to )Feb 20 00:41
DaemonFCFirefox supports a lot more broken IE crap that some sites like to put upFeb 20 00:41
cubezzzicecat that isFeb 20 00:41
cubezzzweb masters are lazy thoughFeb 20 00:42
MinceRon my debian lenny vm, i just installed the official firefox under /optFeb 20 00:42
cubezzzmany many sites aren't lynx friendly, or text browser friendlyFeb 20 00:42
oiaohmcubezzz: and that suxs balls for the blind.Feb 20 00:42
cubezzzoiaohm, I don't think you ever really know what's going on with windowsFeb 20 00:42
cubezzzall that closed source...Feb 20 00:42
oiaohmcubezzz: Depends if you are sitting down with people who are disasmbling it.Feb 20 00:43
DaemonFCI'm not saying Firefox 4 is bad, I'm just saying there's other options that integrate better with *nix in general and KDE/GNOME/etc in specificFeb 20 00:43
oiaohmcubezzz: Mostly to work out how a rootkit or the like managed to hide.Feb 20 00:43
cubezzznot to mention flash url obfuscation...Feb 20 00:43
oiaohmcubezzz: Yes it far simpler to hide in windows than OS X or LinuxFeb 20 00:43
DaemonFCno matter what platform you run Firefox on, it's basically running in an abstraction layerFeb 20 00:44
DaemonFCwith some additional support for native OS featuresFeb 20 00:44
DaemonFCmostly WindowsFeb 20 00:44
MinceRyet it still works pretty wellFeb 20 00:44
DaemonFCthe only thing that surprises me about Firefox is that it's not any more bloated than it isFeb 20 00:44
MinceRunlike chromium which likes to cause kernel panics, for exampleFeb 20 00:45
oiaohmSome of the additional support for windows only.   Releate to Linux 3d drivers suxing.Feb 20 00:45
MinceRprobably because their sandbox (which is setuid root) sucks assFeb 20 00:45
cubezzzI haven't seen any panics in a whileFeb 20 00:45
cubezzzbut I don't really use chromiumFeb 20 00:45
DaemonFCMinceR, When they fix Chatzilla in Seamonkey we might talk about me using Mozilla stuff primarilyFeb 20 00:45
MinceRit kept causing them on exitFeb 20 00:45
MinceRso i stopped using itFeb 20 00:45
DaemonFCSeamonkey in general just feels a lot faster than FirefoxFeb 20 00:45
DaemonFCMinceR, To be honest, I'm kind of surprised that the Firefox PPAs for Ubuntu spit stuff out that disables all the system libraries that it could be usingFeb 20 00:47
cubezzzI just use good ol' xchatFeb 20 00:47
MinceRfirefox has more and more extensions i'd hardly do without :>Feb 20 00:47
MinceRfor irc, there's irssi :>Feb 20 00:47
cubezzzor naim or a million others :)Feb 20 00:47
MinceR(unrelated to firefox, of course)Feb 20 00:47
nisshhMinceR, i only use 3 FF extensionsFeb 20 00:48
cubezzzthe right tool for the job, no bloated swiss army knives with a hundred blades please Feb 20 00:48
nisshhadblock plus, fastestfox and Ubuntu Firefox modsFeb 20 00:48
DaemonFCthen there's the fact that Firefox uses GTK+ stuff like file selectorsFeb 20 00:49
DaemonFCso you single click on things out of muscle memory and all you've done is highlight somethingFeb 20 00:49
DaemonFC:)Feb 20 00:49
DaemonFCOpera can figure out what desktop it's running in and pick the right file selection dialogFeb 20 00:50
MinceRi use AdBlock Plus, Clear Text Fields, CookieSafe, DownloadHelper, Ghostery, Live HTTP headers, NoScript, RefControl, Save Complete, Taboo, Web Developer, xclear and FoxyProxyFeb 20 00:50
DaemonFCwhy can't Firefox?Feb 20 00:50
MinceRDaemonFC: oFeb 20 00:51
MinceRi'm used to a diversity of file selectors :>Feb 20 00:51
MinceRi even sometimes use java apps with swing file selector dialogs with the metal theme :>Feb 20 00:51
DaemonFCI just found that a neat feature in OperaFeb 20 00:52
DaemonFChow it detects what you use and mimics the surrounding environmentFeb 20 00:52
MinceRi prefer letting me decideFeb 20 00:52
DaemonFCtechnically, Opera is better than Firefox on Linux for many usersFeb 20 00:52
DaemonFCtheir software renderer is faster than the software renderer in FirefoxFeb 20 00:53
DaemonFCwhich is what most Linux users get stuck with even in 4.0Feb 20 00:53
MinceRi've heard of libreoffice royally screwing up the DE autodetection/integration job :>Feb 20 00:53
cubezzzno source code...Feb 20 00:53
cubezzzand yes, I compiled my own icecatFeb 20 00:53
DaemonFCFirefox was damaged goods from the beginningFeb 20 00:53
MinceRi did compile my own firefox onceFeb 20 00:53
DaemonFCit was basically designed by AOLFeb 20 00:53
MinceRtook some extra work to make it use official firefox branding thoughFeb 20 00:54
DaemonFCthey've spent years trying to fix bad design that Netscape employees are responsible forFeb 20 00:54

MinceRfirefox might have had a bad start but it can do stuff no other browser can :>Feb 20 00:55
cubezzzI think 1999 and before it was netscape on Linux but...Feb 20 00:55
DaemonFCI don't like OOo, LibreOffice is a little betterFeb 20 00:55
cubezzzmostly I used lynx in those daysFeb 20 00:55
DaemonFCLibreOffice got all those performance patches from Go-OO and it still feels like I'm dragging a dead elephant just to start WriterFeb 20 00:56
DaemonFCeven on a quad core with 8 gigs of RAMFeb 20 00:56
DaemonFCno excuse for thisFeb 20 00:56
MinceRi mostly use GNOME Office insteadFeb 20 00:56
MinceR(and LaTeX, of course)Feb 20 00:56

DaemonFCKOffice has excellent OOXML import filter, which I require, I don't care if it exports them or notFeb 20 00:56
cubezzzwell actually I do use Latex sometimesFeb 20 00:56
DaemonFCI save to ODF or PDF or HTML or somethingFeb 20 00:56
DaemonFCLibreOffice destroys any OOXML documents I importFeb 20 00:57
DaemonFCnot destroys really, just everything is a little wrongFeb 20 00:57
DaemonFCand I have to go through and fix stuff up before I save it as ODF/PDF/HTMLFeb 20 00:57
MinceRi've seen the same version of excel on the same version of windows using the same font still fuck up formatting once it was opened on another PCFeb 20 00:58
DaemonFCI send documents back to MS Office users as PDF usually so they don't try to edit it and mess up the formatting all over againFeb 20 00:58
cubezzzlooking back at all my old work, it's the ascii files that survived Feb 20 00:58
MinceRi don't expect m$o crap to be portable to any extentFeb 20 00:58
DaemonFCit's notFeb 20 00:59
DaemonFCany portability they talk about means it might open in MS Office on Mac tooFeb 20 00:59
DaemonFC:)Feb 20 00:59
MinceR(cells had to be resized to show all the text)Feb 20 00:59
DaemonFCthey don't even support the same OOXML in Office Mac as Office WindowsFeb 20 00:59
DaemonFCyou really think Novell is going to hack in any decent support into OOo?Feb 20 01:00
DaemonFCI don't either?Feb 20 01:00
DaemonFC:)Feb 20 01:00
MinceRor the same OOXML as the one they've handed the specs of to EcmaFeb 20 01:00
MinceR:>Feb 20 01:00
cubezzzdoes Novell even exist now?Feb 20 01:00
DaemonFCthey're still funding Miguel to FUD Android and praise Vista Phone 7 that his precious Mono isn't allowed onFeb 20 01:00

oiaohmbut its good for allowing devices to recover from bad flash writes.Feb 20 07:28
oiaohmOr allowing flash writes when flash has been scrambled by outside interfance.Feb 20 07:28
oiaohmIe masked rom is way more tollerent.Feb 20 07:28
cubezzzyou could use an external programmer, or even another motherboard or dvd drive :)Feb 20 07:29

oiaohmEven if design allows for that to be overridden by a newer copy.Feb 20 07:32

oiaohmIe some devices hold the reset button until they power up with reset button depressed.Feb 20 07:33
cubezzzI've compiled my own bios thoughFeb 20 07:33
oiaohmTakes you threw a full masked rom boot.Feb 20 07:33
oiaohmSo any firmware flashs and the like can be fixed.Feb 20 07:33

cubezzzno, I've never had a silicon chip made :)Feb 20 07:38
oiaohmcubezzz: mask rom is one of the common terms.Feb 20 07:38
oiaohmcubezzz: the proper term is mask-programmed ROMFeb 20 07:38
cubezzzah I seeFeb 20 07:38
oiaohmcubezzz: but mask-programmed ROM is one hell of a thing to type.  So it ends up shorted to either mask rom or masked romFeb 20 07:38
oiaohmcubezzz:  Also it would be unlikely for a modern day system to contain more than 32 kb of mask rom.Feb 20 07:40
oiaohmcubezzz: Not counting microcodes of courseFeb 20 07:40
cubezzzI don't really like stand-alone dvd players and the like Feb 20 07:41

DaemonFCschestowitz, They're considering using OpenGL 3 in KDE 4.7Feb 20 09:19
DaemonFCbut whether they do or not depends largely on where the free drivers are at Feb 20 09:20
DaemonFCand they'd have to blacklist a lot of plug-ins for chipsets that aren't hardware capableFeb 20 09:20
DaemonFC:)Feb 20 09:20
DaemonFCyou still may get basic compositing support even if your driver or chipset aren't capable of running every plug-inFeb 20 09:21
DaemonFCthey could do it now really, just because a driver reports it's only OpenGL 2.1 capable doesn't mean it doesn't support a lot of OpenGL 3 extensionsFeb 20 09:23
DaemonFCthey should probably base their feature set on what Gallium3d can currently doFeb 20 09:24

DaemonFC"In a next step I want to go to OpenGL 3 in 4.7, but the free drivers do not yet support this generation. (That’s perhaps a point to work together with Compiz developers)"Feb 20 09:32
DaemonFChe could use a lot of OpenGL 3 features even if not all the free drivers support OpenGL 3 in its entiretyFeb 20 09:32
DaemonFCthe level of OpenGL 3 support in drivers using Gallium3d is more or less uniformFeb 20 09:32
DaemonFCif they use their own classic Mesa driver, their OpenGL support is less complete and they all support different extensions :)Feb 20 09:33
DaemonFCthere's a couple ways to attack the problem that I can seeFeb 20 09:34
DaemonFCtell everyone to use proprietary drivers -or- free drivers + Gallium3dFeb 20 09:34

DaemonFCand/or use a blacklist of cards and drivers that cannot enable certain plugins and leave the core user experience only dependent upon OpenGL 2.1Feb 20 09:35
DaemonFCGallium3d in many cases is much slower than the proprietary drivers, but it is also a lot faster than classic Mesa, which already runs desktop effects at a good speedFeb 20 09:36
DaemonFCI find Gallium3d intriguing even if it is currently a little slow and buggyFeb 20 09:36
oiaohmThe interesting case is there are particular applications that are faster with the open source drivers.Feb 20 09:37

taconeyes stupid paper-cut patching.Feb 20 22:09
schestowitzi doubt they have much hope for itFeb 20 22:09
schestowitzAnother "beta" non-search projectFeb 20 22:09
sebsebsebtacone: then Unity is kind of intereting, but not really for me, makes their Gnome patching some of them, in to something sort of ok, because now it's not just Gnome patching it's a proper alternative interface, but they should have gone with Gnome Shell by default really for the desktp edition of 11.04 :) not UnityFeb 20 22:09
taconethey're increasing the delta for the sake of itFeb 20 22:09
sebsebsebthe delta?Feb 20 22:09
sebsebsebwhat you mean?Feb 20 22:09
schestowitzBut when they get something right, they usually hit jackpot, e.g. gmail, android, searchFeb 20 22:09
taconedelta = patches quantityFeb 20 22:10
sebsebseboh?Feb 20 22:10
sebsebsebyeah they are doing their own thing a lot more now, and a lot of it is sucky reallyFeb 20 22:10
sebsebsebmost users have no ideaFeb 20 22:10
taconeunity feels pretty bad to me, in the video, while gnome 3 is actually interesting even if not my kind of thingFeb 20 22:10
schestowitzDelta is the diffsFeb 20 22:10
sebsebseband most of the sucky stuff, is aimed at new users as well,  the average computer user, hmmFeb 20 22:10
taconetipical papercut is patch empathy (IM) to remove the status icon, because they have their own notification systemFeb 20 22:11
taconebut they just remove it without obviously allowing an option to bring it backFeb 20 22:11
sebsebsebtacone: yeah a lot of that, removing notification icons, for their application indicatersFeb 20 22:11
schestowitzIf Debian has delta like Red Hat (maybe it has analogous things), it'll be funny to see how Ubuntu can delta-fy Debian... empty packets :-)Feb 20 22:11
taconeas a result i don't use empathyFeb 20 22:11
taconeor the stupid monochrome icons, with the result of increasing the work of everybodyFeb 20 22:11
taconedevs have to create more iconsFeb 20 22:12
taconeconsistency is lost very oftenFeb 20 22:12
taconei understand their reason, but i'd rather have done more useful thingsFeb 20 22:12
sebsebsebtacone: ok and back in 9.04, the shut down and log out,  removed from system menu, for shut down and log out in 10.04Feb 20 22:13
taconei think my phone has more settings options than ubuntuFeb 20 22:13
sebsebsebtacone: ,but then,  the automatic shut down feature after a minute, that I loved when it was introduced in 8.10, which is realy a upstream Gnome feature :)Feb 20 22:13
sebsebsebtacone: well they remove it in 10.04, for lame,  do you really want to shut down or re start messages, that are there when the patches for shut down on top right are enabledFeb 20 22:13
taconesebsebseb: it has been a long time i say: wanna know next ubuntu features ? read Fedora's roadmap :)Feb 20 22:13
sebsebsebtacone: then I found that with Ubuntu 10.04, even after customising and removing loads of these patches, things still weren't quite the same as before with Ubuntu, altough that was partly also, because of Grub 2 and GDM 2Feb 20 22:14
taconei tried to post in ayatana or on my blog, but they seem to imply i'm just yet another change resisterFeb 20 22:14
sebsebseb,but yeah not even the old theme, would quite do itFeb 20 22:14
sebsebsebit just didn't feel rightFeb 20 22:14
sebsebsebtacone: anyway yeah the 10.04 themes, I  didn't like those enough and uh, 10.04 ended up being quite a pointless upgradeFeb 20 22:15
sebsebsebexcept for a KDM screen that looked nicer by default hmmFeb 20 22:15
taconethey're apparently trying to make it pretty right now, which is quite pointless imhoFeb 20 22:15
taconethe real thing we need is an html/css like thing.Feb 20 22:15
sebsebsebtacone: yeah ever since Ayatana started doing stuff, Ubuntu started going down hill it seems, for experienced users I mean such as myself, and I guess you as wellFeb 20 22:16
sebsebsebfor many expereinced usersFeb 20 22:16
taconeyes it feels dumbed down. problem is you have to mess in the command line to get what you want. that's not nice for the rest of the worldFeb 20 22:16

nisshhits*Feb 20 22:29
taconesebsebseb:  I don't think the world will ever give a dime about Canonical's UnityFeb 20 22:29
sebsebsebtacone: I think it will get pretty popular, since the most used Desktop Linu distro at the moment Ubuntu, and by a long way, will be using it by defaultFeb 20 22:29
taconea GUI is a work much bigger than them. they won't get far with it.Feb 20 22:29
sebsebsebtacone: so newbies will get used to Unity, and expect it, when they try other distro'sFeb 20 22:29
Faithernisshh: i really like archFeb 20 22:30
nisshhFaither, i tried both Arch and Gentoo last year, have to say, while both were really good, Arch was nicer imoFeb 20 22:30

nisshhsebsebseb, no, at faitherFeb 20 22:30
sebsebsebtacone: Unity is being made for Ubuntu, and other distro's can use like I said earlier, but the CA issueFeb 20 22:30
Faithernisshh: you can run arch in 'gentoo'-mode if you want to with the ABSFeb 20 22:31
sebsebsebtacone: yep Canonical aren't playing upstream properlyFeb 20 22:31
sebsebsebtacone: as far as I know Gnome can't even adopt Unity, whilst it has CAFeb 20 22:31
nisshhFaither, yeah, i really liked emerge on Gentoo tbh, but Arch overall was nicer to useFeb 20 22:31
sebsebsebtacone: also good luck trying to get the truth about Unity from Ubuntu people such as Jono Bacon and Jorge Castro,  who are about hyping up UnityFeb 20 22:31
nisshhFaither, and the Arch docs are so much nicerFeb 20 22:32
nisshhthe gentoo docs are a bit of a mess, i had to get a gentoo user to help me find the right install docsFeb 20 22:32
taconehyping Unity is their work.Feb 20 22:32
Faithernisshh: the entire community around arch isFeb 20 22:32
taconeCastro was also hyping mono over dropbox iircFeb 20 22:32
sebsebsebtacone: if Unity becomes pouplar enough though, which is likely, if we like it or not, other distro's that want to also have a chance at being popular, will have to provide it optionally in their repo's at leastFeb 20 22:32
nisshhFaither, is a mess or nicer?Feb 20 22:33
sebsebsebtacone: I personally do think though, that no other distro should ever use Unity by default, unless maybe Canonical play upstream properly, so yep sort out the copyright assignment issuesFeb 20 22:33
Faithernisshh: it's nice ^^Feb 20 22:33
taconeiFolder, and that didn't get anywhereFeb 20 22:33
nisshhFaither, yeahFeb 20 22:33
taconeproblem with unity is it doesn't have a pointFeb 20 22:33
sebsebsebtacone: and it's very important that, most distro's that do Gnome,  do Gnome 3 and Gnome Shell by default, when what I just mentioned, hasn't happendedFeb 20 22:33
sebsebsebtacone: it does have a point, to make an alternative interface, that is more suitable for the massesFeb 20 22:34
sebsebsebhi nisshh by the  way, so up early or awake late?Feb 20 22:34
taconenope the real point is to build a finger friendly interfaceFeb 20 22:34

sebsebsebFrom my trying of  Unity on my desktop computer in Ubuntu 10.10 in Ubuntu and Lubuntu, it was alright, sort of impressive in a way,  and in other ways it wasn't that good at all really.  Then my trying of Unity in Ubuntu 11.04 apha 1 well that sucked, since that was the start of Unity being re done with Compiz instead of Mutter.  Then I would have done Unity with Ubuntu 11.04 alpha 2, but nope since Nivida graphics card, and NIvida didn't have Feb 20 22:36
sebsebseba driver yet for the new Xorg.Feb 20 22:36
taconewith notification that takes up screen estate in exchange for nothing ?Feb 20 22:36
taconeso you like unity ?Feb 20 22:36
sebsebsebI am thinking about maybe putting Ubuntu 11.04 alpha 3, and maybe even it as in updating it all the way to the final of Ubuntu 11.04, but not quite sure yetFeb 20 22:37
sebsebsebwhy?Feb 20 22:37
sebsebsebwellFeb 20 22:38
sebsebsebUnityFeb 20 22:38
sebsebsebof courseFeb 20 22:38
taconei'll give it a shot then, somedayFeb 20 22:38
taconeon the paper, gnome3 looks far more impressive for meFeb 20 22:38
sebsebsebaltough on the other hand maybe I should try development versiosn of Fedora on here with Gnome Shell, actsual pshyicall install, not Live CD's which I haven't done yet,  Live CD/DVD where apaprnatly Gnome Shell may run now on my hardware, not tried these yetFeb 20 22:38
taconegnome folks have more experience on UI's i thinkFeb 20 22:38
sebsebsebI mean where it may run on my hardware without needing propritary driver :)Feb 20 22:38
sebsebsebtacone: indeed they doFeb 20 22:38
FaithergnFeb 20 22:38
sebsebsebanyway if I do what I am saying when it comes to Ubuntu 11.04 and trying Unity all the way from alpha 3 untill the final of Ubuntu 11.04,  I may kind of hate myself at the time heh hehFeb 20 22:38

nisshhand they keep calling the dock the launcher insteadFeb 20 22:39
sebsebsebon the other hand, maybe I should just do,  Ubuntu 11.04 alpha 3, in a virtual machine, and carry on with my little minor PC Linux OS issues and suchFeb 20 22:39

sebsebsebnisshh: well it is kind of now, except other distro's have to patch it a bit into their distro or something, and then the CA thingFeb 20 22:41
nisshhsebsebseb, well, they are promoter's, thats all they are good at, tbhFeb 20 22:41
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @fabsh what convenience does Fedora sacrifice for software freedom?!? patented *Free* Software is left out because Red Hat says soFeb 20 22:41
sebsebsebnisshh: well one time in a channel not that long ago, I started saying something to a guy about Unity, and CA and so on, and Jorge saw it, and got quite annoyed at meFeb 20 22:41
nisshhsebsebseb, the CA thing?Feb 20 22:41
nisshhyeahFeb 20 22:42
sebsebsebnisshh: yep if want to contribute to Unity, got to accept their copyright assignments agreement, and then Canonical own all the rights to that code basicalleyFeb 20 22:42
taconehe has the right to be annoyed and you have the right to not care about thatFeb 20 22:42
nisshhsebsebseb, seriously?Feb 20 22:42
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @evan that's assuming USA wanted to Free the Iraqi people. looks like all they wanted was the oil, and waiting wouldn't have doneFeb 20 22:43
nisshhso its FOSS code, but can you can only contribute under a CA agreement?Feb 20 22:43
sebsebsebnisshh: also there are a few  more recent links on omgubuntu.co.uk where some Jeff guy who has been trying to get it into Fedora as an option with the main guy,  was trying to get  more truths' about Unity and the CA and so onFeb 20 22:43
sebsebsebnisshh: even had Jono  replying here and there, but yeah didn't go that wellFeb 20 22:43
nisshhyeahFeb 20 22:43
sebsebsebnisshh: and yes as far as I know from what I have read and so on,  to contribute back to Unity, the programmer just indeed accept Canonica's copyright assignment agreementFeb 20 22:44
sebsebsebnisshh: and then Canonical can do pretty much whatever they want with that codeFeb 20 22:44
nisshhsebsebseb, i guess canonical are sort of making their own interface and saying "no, this is our interface, if you want it, you can go to hell"Feb 20 22:44
sebsebseboh Free Software Foundation has CA as well, but we can trust them, to not do bad with the codeFeb 20 22:44
sebsebsebCanonical on the other hand well no not quiteFeb 20 22:44
sebsebsebCanonical is a for profit company at the end of the day for a startFeb 20 22:44
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[qu1j0t3/@qu1j0t3] .@evan Cost of #Iraq attack estimated $3 trillion and upwards (depending how far ahead you want to look)Feb 20 22:44
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[qu1j0t3/@qu1j0t3] @lxoliva it never was about the Iraqi people one iota. If it had been, somebody might have thought twice before killing a million of them.Feb 20 22:44
nisshhyeahFeb 20 22:44
sebsebsebplus Launchpad used to be  closed source, and something else is still cloed source of Canonical's and so onFeb 20 22:44
nisshhsebsebseb, so the Unity API is not public domain then?Feb 20 22:45
sebsebsebnisshh: so yeah ok Canonical may have helped Fedora and OpenSuse provide to provide it as options for their distro's, but as far as I know, none of these developers have contributed any code back to Unity, because of the CAFeb 20 22:45
taconeCA is not a big deal i thinkFeb 20 22:45
nisshhtacone, how so?Feb 20 22:45
taconestill, better not to have itFeb 20 22:45
sebsebsebnisshh: Unity used to use or still does, quite a few things that aren't upstream or whateverFeb 20 22:46
nisshhsebsebseb, what kind of stuff?Feb 20 22:46
taconeCA give canonical the right to close the source at any point. but then a fork would happen.Feb 20 22:46
sebsebsebnisshh: so Canonical had been like helping Fedora and OpenSuse get round this or whatever, also  the Fedora guy said there was something that needed to be accepeted upstream, before it could be provided for Fedora as an optionFeb 20 22:46
nisshhtacone, ah, i seeFeb 20 22:46
taconenot that that is good, but it's still no big dealFeb 20 22:46
sebsebsebtacone: it is a big dealFeb 20 22:47

sebsebsebnisshh: if they drop the CA or change it a bit or whatever,  other distros will provide it easier and contribute code even I guessFeb 20 22:48

taconeschestowitz: WL sounds like a US tactic to free itself a little bit from the pressure of other parts of AmericaFeb 20 22:48
sebsebsebnisshh: anyway glibc or something, something to do with that, needed accepting upstreamFeb 20 22:48
sebsebsebbefore Fedora could provide Unity in their repos optinalleyFeb 20 22:48
