schestowitzNow, with food it's differentMay 21 00:40
DaemonFCIt makes more sense to patent real world products you put a lot of effort into developing May 21 00:40
schestowitzSame with hardwareMay 21 00:40
_Goblinreally....May 21 00:40
schestowitzRichard Stallman is asked this sometimesMay 21 00:40
twitterdon't confuse personal action with commercial activity such as selling cigarettes and Microsoft WindowsMay 21 00:40

ThistleWebfair enough there's places they can't smoke, but they still have the freedom to harm themselves if they chooseMay 21 00:40
schestowitzAnd then analyse their effect on youMay 21 00:40
schestowitzWith software it doesn't work this wayMay 21 00:40
schestowitzmany zeros and ones in disarray are uselessMay 21 00:40
DaemonFCThistleWeb, There are actually positive health benefits to smokingMay 21 00:41
twitterno one can prevent people from harming themselves, society can prevent people from harming each otherMay 21 00:41
DaemonFCyou don't hear about them thoughMay 21 00:41
ThistleWebtwitter: then there should be laws against spywareMay 21 00:41
schestowitzSo without them put in some composition you cannot affect their impact on youMay 21 00:41

_Goblinwhich by themselves don't taste like coke,May 21 00:41
ThistleWebclosed is just a development modelMay 21 00:41
twitterif you make laws against spyware, you must outlaw non free softwareMay 21 00:41
schestowitzIf food is put together to cause you to spontaneously combustMay 21 00:41
twitterbecause there is no way to know if non free software is actually spywareMay 21 00:41
ThistleWebcars can be used for all sorts of purposes, you don't ban cars, you have laws against the illegal uses some people put them toMay 21 00:42
twitterand generally, it isMay 21 00:42
schestowitzThen, you might demand that customers are told by food makers how the atoms are put togeher, to avoid harmMay 21 00:42
schestowitzFood is now softwareMay 21 00:42
schestowitzThe metaphorgoes as far as sharingMay 21 00:42
schestowitzsoftware is behaviourMay 21 00:42
schestowitzfood is stateMay 21 00:42
_Goblintwitter: now you are getting onto something else....if non-free was spyware or engages in any sort of covert intrusion into your system, in the UK there is a law for that....its called the computer misuse act.May 21 00:42
twitterit is not possible for cars to censor my news and mail, unless it's using non free software.May 21 00:42
schestowitzrecipe of action applied to ingredients and the end result is the sameMay 21 00:42
DaemonFCtwitter, I wrote to my state senator proposing anti-spyware law at one point and he said he didn't feel that would be a good use of the state's budget. I guess he kind of has a point. Why spend taxpayer money imprisoning people for taking advantage of truck-sized holes in Microsoft Windows and accompanying software?May 21 00:42
schestowitzfood cannot be replicatedMay 21 00:43
DaemonFCif anything, make Microsoft pay to incarcerate themMay 21 00:43
schestowitzThe infinite bread notionMay 21 00:43
ThistleWebI'm talking about the HUGE brush stroke you're advocatingMay 21 00:43
twitteryou can call it what you likeMay 21 00:43
ThistleWebit'd be the same as banning cars because some use them to traffic people, weapons etcMay 21 00:43
schestowitz[00:41] <ThistleWeb> closed is just a development modelMay 21 00:43
schestowitzNot reallyMay 21 00:43

schestowitzIf I start accepting patches from the outide it varies a littleMay 21 00:44
DaemonFCschestowitz, I got awarded $200 today, the check came from the Indiana Attorney GeneralMay 21 00:44
_Goblintwitter: not at all EULAMay 21 00:44
schestowitzThe "development model" gets used a lot by Microsoft liarsMay 21 00:44
schestowitzLike JasonMMay 21 00:44
DaemonFCI collected evidence of a company willfully breaking the state Do Not Call lawMay 21 00:44
schestowitzTo pretend open source means almost nothingMay 21 00:44
ThistleWebit's the same thing, some software is malware, most isn't, closed is about keeping your code indoors, only releasing the compiled product, not what that product isMay 21 00:44
twitterthat EULA was not consentual and I doubt you read it.May 21 00:44
DaemonFCand that was my share of the assessed fine :)May 21 00:44
_Goblintwitter: it falls under "a condition of entry"....if you do not agree with my "rules" you don't run it.May 21 00:44
ThistleWebnot consentual? you can REFUSE ITMay 21 00:44
ThistleWebnobody holds a gun to your head and forces your to acceptMay 21 00:45
twitterI can not refuse ACPI with any ease.May 21 00:45
twitterbut really, I'll meet you half way.May 21 00:45
_Goblintwitter: and not reading the EULA is no excuse.  If you are that concerned with what you install you should ALWAYS read the EULA....the examples of condition of entry exist in the real world tooMay 21 00:45
ThistleWebby refusing it, you're not going to run the appMay 21 00:45
DaemonFCtwitter, Buy a system without itMay 21 00:45
ThistleWebbut it's a choiseMay 21 00:45
DaemonFCACPI is tied to x86 PCsMay 21 00:45
ThistleWebchoice*May 21 00:45
schestowitzThistleWeb: sometimes it's a barrier with conditionMay 21 00:45
schestowitzLike people at work forcing you to use proprietaryMay 21 00:45
schestowitzSo to say you can refuse the EULA is a gross oversimplicationMay 21 00:46
schestowitzProprietary software is viralMay 21 00:46
DaemonFCI have considered going with a non-x86 system next timeMay 21 00:46
twitterI won't outlaw non free software, I'll just quit wasting societies resources supporting it by ending copyright for non human readable material and abolishing software patents.  Fair enough?May 21 00:46
ThistleWebthat's your employer, you give up a lot more than just that to agree to work thereMay 21 00:46
schestowitzIt naturally tries to spread itself through dependencyMay 21 00:46
DaemonFCjust because there's so much crap that comes along with it that only works right on WindowsMay 21 00:46
_Goblintwitter: and thats great...thats freedom...the right to choose.May 21 00:46
ThistleWebif they say "we monitor every employees net use" your choice is to accept it's part of the job, or don't work thereMay 21 00:46
schestowitzit's notMay 21 00:46
twitterHow long do you think non free software would survive like that?May 21 00:47
ThistleWebthere's always choiceMay 21 00:47
schestowitz_Goblin: different thingsMay 21 00:47
_Goblin?May 21 00:47
schestowitzbut freedom in English has many meaningsMay 21 00:47
schestowitzFreedom and choice are not the sameMay 21 00:47
schestowitzIt's a Microsoft propaganda lineMay 21 00:47
schestowitz"We offer choice"May 21 00:47
schestowitzWhen they want to add windowsMay 21 00:47
DaemonFCThistleWeb, People who do illegal things or surf porn at work deserve to get caught and firedMay 21 00:47

ThistleWebmost people accept that windows is the most common work environment, and grin and bare it while there, knowing they can exercise their freedom at home, maybe even encourage more use of free at workMay 21 00:48
schestowitz_Goblin: no, freedom of actionMay 21 00:48
schestowitzChoice is differentMay 21 00:48
schestowitzWhen you are restruicted to some optionsMay 21 00:48
schestowitzLike Windows XP or Vista7May 21 00:48

schestowitztwitter: you canMay 21 00:49
twitterbut that would be your own sillyness rather than a conspiracy on the part of nail makersMay 21 00:49
schestowitzthat's different thoughMay 21 00:49
schestowitzIt goes into another debateMay 21 00:49
schestowitzLike tghe drug legalisationMay 21 00:49
schestowitzAnd harming oneselfMay 21 00:49
schestowitzSuicides and suchMay 21 00:50
twitterthat I'm forced to pay for Microsoft when I buy a computer is the result of a conspiracy. May 21 00:50
schestowitzHow much government can intrude people's life and prevent one's harm to selfMay 21 00:50
_Goblinthats different...and I agreeMay 21 00:50
ThistleWebthat's another issueMay 21 00:50
twitterand the results of that conspiracy are harmful May 21 00:50
_Goblinthats not rightMay 21 00:50
DaemonFCthey said they really didn't care as long as I was off the clock and wasn't browsing anything inappropriate May 21 00:50
DaemonFCI was managing ebay auctions :PMay 21 00:50
schestowitzthen there's the libera;s/freedom versus the "other"May 21 00:50
_Goblinthats where the freedom to choose gets hampered and thats wrong.May 21 00:50
twitterit's not wrong to prevent fraud May 21 00:50
schestowitzit's quite an unorthodox debate, too, and morbid saometimes (like euthanasia)May 21 00:50
ThistleWebbeing forced to buy a PC with windows is VERY different to buying a copy of windows because that's what you wantMay 21 00:50
_Goblintwitter: no, you misunderstand....its wrong that you should be forced to have windows.May 21 00:51
schestowitzThistleWeb: trueMay 21 00:51
_Goblintwitter: windows can exist, but exist as a choice alongside other OS'sMay 21 00:51
schestowitzI think though that one has to check choiceMay 21 00:51
twitterbeing allowed to sell Windows is the problem, not some one's mistaken desire to use itMay 21 00:51
ThistleWebok, it's a licence, not buying it but you know what I meanMay 21 00:51
schestowitzCause many people don't genuinely choose something proprietaryMay 21 00:51
schestowitzThey don't choose MSIEMay 21 00:51
schestowitzIt's just thereMay 21 00:51
schestowitzChosen by someone elseMay 21 00:51
schestowitzTHey do choose Firefox thoughMay 21 00:51
MinceRi doubt that being free at home offsets having to put up with winblows at work :>May 21 00:52
twitterthe same logic is used by tobacco companiesMay 21 00:52
ThistleWebmistaken desire? there you go again speaking for othersMay 21 00:52
schestowitzThey almost always choose LinuxMay 21 00:52
ThistleWebsome people are happy with windows, they want windows, they don't want anything elseMay 21 00:52
schestowitzSo one has to check if the users are actually users _of choice_May 21 00:52
schestowitzOr victims of circumstanceMay 21 00:52
twitterbeing smoke free at home offsets having smoke blown in your face for eight hours? May 21 00:52

twitterI should be happy with private freedom and surrender it in pulbic?May 21 00:52
schestowitzThistleWeb: they usually are people who never tried anything elseMay 21 00:52
ThistleWebexactlyMay 21 00:53
schestowitzSomeone like an OEM 'chose' (kickbacks) WindowsMay 21 00:53
ThistleWebthe point is they're choosing something they wantMay 21 00:53
schestowitzAnd then they are stuck with something they never truly choseMay 21 00:53
twitteragain, the problem is not that users are deceived, it's that Microsoft is allowed to rape them.May 21 00:53
schestowitzAnd they cannot choose anything else when buying the next PCMay 21 00:53
ThistleWebmaybe they don't know there's an alternative, or how to go about itMay 21 00:53
schestowitzEven if they genuinely wanted to depart from WindowsMay 21 00:53
ThistleWebjesus, any more emotive terms you wanna bring into it? now it's rapeMay 21 00:54
twittersome people want and buy cigarettes, but society has the right to ban it in public places and perhaps ban the saleMay 21 00:54

twitterit's what Windows does bestMay 21 00:54
schestowitzin relation to imposing Windows on kids at schoolsMay 21 00:54
schestowitzMicrosoft bribging some schools to force the kids to "I'm a PC" mentalityMay 21 00:54
schestowitzThat's wrongMay 21 00:54
schestowitzAs wrong as religious schoolsMay 21 00:54
schestowitzForciing kids to be something they don't choose to beMay 21 00:54
ThistleWebI know a few women who have been raped in their past, I'm sure your use of the term "rape" will go down GREAT with them while trying to educate them about softwareMay 21 00:55
schestowitzCause someone ie bribging or pressuring or seeks to assimilateMay 21 00:55
twitterWindows is a religion, complete with blind faith.May 21 00:55
twitterhow do you know that I have not been raped?May 21 00:55
_Goblinright..thats me out of this one....next it will be relating M-theory to why at the point of the big bang, proprietary software should not have existed....May 21 00:55

ThistleWebin spirit I feel sorry for you, if you think any of the arguments you explain in here actually help your causeMay 21 00:58
twitterI have not seen any counter arguments, just vague talk about the right to chose to be defrauded . May 21 00:58
ThistleWebsorry, I don't go for broad statements, you'll have to be specificMay 21 00:58
_Goblinschestowitz, Ahhhhhhhhh a remark that doesn't favour Microsoft....you must be a hater!!!! :)  - Thats probably what Ballmers been telling the shareholders for years... "Yeah don't listen to the critics, nothing is wrong, they are just haters"May 21 00:58
ThistleWebwhat non-freeMay 21 00:58
twitterI've given you the logic.May 21 00:58
schestowitz_Goblin: exactly,May 21 00:59
schestowitzThat's not just a Microsogt thing thoughMay 21 00:59
twitterLet's see if you agree with the points, one at a time.May 21 00:59
schestowitzIt generalises to many thingsMay 21 00:59
ThistleWebno, you've lumped everything non-free together, regardless of who develops it, for what, how well it works etcMay 21 00:59
schestowitzDescribe something as "irrational hater"May 21 00:59
_GoblinmmmmMay 21 00:59
schestowitzI am equally guilty sometimes for calling people "Microsoft booster"May 21 00:59
schestowitzWhich does devalue their opinionMay 21 00:59
ThistleWebif I develop a FOSS virus, it's a good thing?May 21 00:59
_GoblinI think thats quite politeMay 21 00:59
twitterNon free software is inherently dishonest.  It does not reveal what it does to the user's machine or data.  True or false?May 21 00:59
ThistleWebpurely beacuse it's FOSSMay 21 00:59
schestowitz"This guy is selling Windows books for a living, so the following opinion of his about Microsoft..."May 21 01:00
ThistleWebtwitter: try being specific, what non-free app are you talking about?May 21 01:00

schestowitzI say "booster"May 21 01:00
schestowitzThat's the positiveMay 21 01:00
schestowitzNot the negativeMay 21 01:00
ThistleWebsoftware is software is softwareMay 21 01:00
_Goblintwitter: I'd say false...code cannot be dishonest only the intention of the dev behind it....May 21 01:00
twitterany non free program has this property, true or false?May 21 01:00
schestowitzAnd they known they boost Microsoft, they are not insulted by the labelMay 21 01:00
schestowitzThey know it just reduces the impact of whatever message they haveMay 21 01:00
schestowitzSo they'd occasionally go like, "I tried Linux, but..."May 21 01:01
twitterNon free software is deceptive because it hides it's workings.  True of False?May 21 01:01
schestowitzEven Da Costa did itMay 21 01:01
ThistleWebsome will, some won't....to try and claim that they all do just on the basis that they're non-free is a jokeMay 21 01:01

ThistleWebyou already pasted it, it doesn't change the fact that you're wrongMay 21 01:13
twitter"having power to mislead, or impress with false opinions"  I'd say that is the power non free software has. May 21 01:13

MinceRproblematic from a security perspective. :>May 21 01:14

ThistleWebnot gonna do itMay 21 01:14
ThistleWebbut I couldMay 21 01:14
twitternon free software can not be verified, so you don't know if the owner has used their power - that is deceptive. May 21 01:14
ThistleWebif I do, I should be punished for doing itMay 21 01:14

twitterA does not please you, so you talk about B which is different as if that will disprove A.May 21 01:19
ThistleWebit's closed, so by your logic, it must be fraud, because they hide the details of how it works from youMay 21 01:19

twitteranswer the question please, we might have a difference of opinion. May 21 01:28
ThistleWebwe already have.....be more specific, non-free is just about releasing the source code, not what the code doesMay 21 01:29

twitterNo, software freedom is about four specific freedoms.  They depend on source code but they are really rights to do what you want with your computer and others not taking those rights from you.May 21 01:30
schestowitz[01:26] <ThistleWeb> despite knowing you're being defrauded (your terms)May 21 01:30
schestowitzI don't see what the point was...May 21 01:31

schestowitzMaybe I need to scroll upMay 21 01:31
schestowitzStallman too has a bank accountMay 21 01:31

schestowitzGreen activists drive sometimesMay 21 01:31
schestowitzIt doesn't mean they don't do good workMay 21 01:31
ThistleWebschestowitz: the claim is that non-free is fraud, by definition of being non-free. ATMs use non-free, if you use them knowing that, then you use them knowing you're being defraudedMay 21 01:31
twitterthey ended the conversation by calling me a troll and accusing me of wasting their time.May 21 01:31
schestowitzThey drive change within the framework available to themMay 21 01:31
twitternice eh?May 21 01:32
ThistleWebhence the determination to say "my use of ATMs has nothing to do with this"May 21 01:32
schestowitz[01:31] <ThistleWeb> schestowitz: the claim is that non-free is fraud, by definition of being non-free. ATMs use non-free, if you use them knowing that, then you use them knowing you're being defraudedMay 21 01:32
schestowitzIt's trueMay 21 01:32
twitterThe claim is that non free software is fraud.  The rest of what you claim for me, does not follow.May 21 01:33
schestowitzWhen I put money in the bank I help fraudstersMay 21 01:33
schestowitzBut it does not make me part of that embezzlementMay 21 01:33
twitterthe non free software the bank uses defrauds the bank.May 21 01:33
ThistleWebI don't like banks using non-free either, but I choose to either use them or notMay 21 01:33
DaemonFCok, that's interesting. Noticed that drop down menus in a page  wouldn't work on Firefox in Fedora, until I removed my profile and had it build a new oneMay 21 01:33

twitterthey have to buy new versions, if nothing else, but it might also report to it's owner.May 21 01:33
twitterand it may conceal other malicious features.May 21 01:33
schestowitzI think the point was, the maker of the software is doing the bad thingMay 21 01:34
schestowitzThe user is notMay 21 01:34
schestowitzThe user is merely being usedMay 21 01:34
schestowitzSame with ATMsMay 21 01:34
ThistleWebsoftware does what it's coded to do, it doesn't automatically compile in malicous functions if it knows the source code will never be publicMay 21 01:34
ThistleWebsome devs will do that, it does not do it automaticallyMay 21 01:35
twitterMy use of an ATM puts me at risk of those things too, but this only proves that non free software is bad, not that I'm inconsistent or think that the bank directly defrauds me with non free ATMs.  May 21 01:35
ThistleWebso it doesn't defraud you (the user of the ATM)May 21 01:35
twitterdo devs or software owners deserve the power to defraud?  May 21 01:35
twitteror "freedom" as you would call it?May 21 01:35
ThistleWebbut somehow thats different from defrauding usersMay 21 01:36
twitterno one deserves that freedomMay 21 01:36
ThistleWebthen target those who do itMay 21 01:36
twitterbut you dance abound that point with car and gun analogies that do not apply to softwareMay 21 01:36
ThistleWebcars can be used for all sorts of things, you target those using it for illegal purposesMay 21 01:36
twitterjust admit that you think that non free software is OK that you are OK with people having that power over usersMay 21 01:37
ThistleWebnon-free software is acceptableMay 21 01:37
ThistleWebpeople have the freedom to make or use it, or notMay 21 01:38
twitterI'm sorry we have this difference of opinion.May 21 01:38
ThistleWebif that is important to themMay 21 01:38
ThistleWebfor many users, they don't give a hoot about freedoms, they want to use something they like, and works for themMay 21 01:38

ThistleWebI don't see anyone upgrading to either vista or 7May 21 02:37
DaemonFCso the same problem is hitting RHEL users, only Red Hat continues to make money because you pay for a subscription no matter what version you're runningMay 21 02:37
twitterand so, because the OS is bundled people have no choice but to "upgrade"May 21 02:37

twitterOh yeah, Windows 7.  I'm surprised they asked instead of just pushing everything as usual. May 21 03:15
DaemonFCtwitter, Because Ubuntu pays the MPEG cartel and advertises their garbage.May 21 03:16

DaemonFCtwitter, The MP3 codec from Fluendo is techichally free software. The source is BSD-licensed, but if you compile it yourself you have no patent license. You must take their nonfree binary to get the patent license. That's what Ubuntu offers you.May 21 03:18
DaemonFCAnd it only works with GStreamerMay 21 03:18
twitterI'm glad to have a license for something I don't believe in.  May 21 03:19

twitterI manage to play mp3 on debian without a license, I wonder why Ubuntu thinks they need a license.  it must have something to do with distributing software in a stupid place like the USAMay 21 03:22
twitterohh animalsMay 21 03:22
DaemonFCtwitter, I use the free software plugin because it's technically superior, because it's free software, because a lot of people only use MP3 (I don't keep any in my music library though), and I do not recognize their patentMay 21 03:22
DaemonFCmy government unfortunately does, fuck themMay 21 03:22
twitterI don't think anyone can recognize anything from a patent other than extortion incomeMay 21 03:23

DaemonFCI worked for a manufacturer who actually made stuff in the USMay 21 03:27
twitterwow, who?May 21 03:27
DaemonFCWalmart's buyers said to outsource it all to China or they wouldn't buy anything May 21 03:27

twittergenerally, walmart is the customerMay 21 03:31
DaemonFCbut he put so much effort into pleasing Walmart that he didn't even control his own supply line anymoreMay 21 03:31
twitterthey put everyone else out of business alreadyMay 21 03:31
DaemonFCthey set him up to be knocked downMay 21 03:31
twitterrightMay 21 03:31
DaemonFChe was profitable, he just figured he's make more and have no operating expenseMay 21 03:32
twitterI've seen where a guy confessed to knocking out all the shops in small towns.  They would drive down main street and say, "none of these places will be here in two years"May 21 03:32
DaemonFCbut anyone can make those widgets and his brand name is not a selling pointMay 21 03:32
twitterso, the Walmart supplier ends up with a sole customerMay 21 03:32
DaemonFCso there was no need for him, they used him to get rid of himselfMay 21 03:32
DaemonFCand hurt their competitors who carried his productMay 21 03:32
twitteryes, that's what consolidation does to you and why everything in Walmart is from ChinaMay 21 03:33
DaemonFCyeah, a lot of his customers said they only wanted to buy something made in the USAMay 21 03:33
DaemonFCso he had reliable customersMay 21 03:33
twitteroh, that's differentMay 21 03:33
twittertoo bad he sold outMay 21 03:33
DaemonFCyes it isMay 21 03:33
DaemonFCour products were superior to the Chinese onesMay 21 03:34
DaemonFCthe return rate for the Chinese knock off was over 300% higher last I checkedMay 21 03:34
twitterthere's a point in all of this where there's nothing left for people to do, so you can't just "do what you have to"May 21 03:34
twittermargins on the opening boxes from china business are rather slimMay 21 03:35
DaemonFCEverything Walmart sells is fall apart crap made in some third world countryMay 21 03:35
DaemonFCby a slaveMay 21 03:35

schestowitz[PJ: Puh lease. This is FUD of the first order, and I wonder who is behind it. The "malware" is a trojan that you have to be incredibly naive to agree to give your password to and then deliberately install on your system and give your credit card to. Even my mom knows better than that. A few might have been duped, but it's nothing like a world panic. How many cases have you heard of? 42? Dozens? And that's by people trying to find themMay 21 08:45
schestowitzall.May 21 08:45
schestowitzJust don't say yes if something pops up on your screen unexpectedly and asks you to install something. And uncheck, if you use Safari, in Preferences the box about opening files after downloading them. I suspect this FUD story is being manufactured and spread aggressively so Microsoft doesn't look so bad. It was just reported that 1 in 14 downloads on Windows is malware, so this Mac incident is absolutely tiny in comparison, but look May 21 08:45
schestowitzat the headlines. Whatever. Here's how to remove this trojan if you were careless enough to install it. It's easy. And next time be more careful. I mean you journalists, actually, also. Trojans are not viruses, so all the screaming about needing anti-virus software on a Mac is a bit off topic, in that nothing can protect you from your own stupidity, not to mention that the 1 in 14 statistic shows about how useful antivirus apps are. May 21 08:45
schestowitzAnd just so you know, there is a firewall built into Mac OSX. I see some have written that it lacks that, but it doesn't. Do people still check before they write? It just shouldn't be this easy to spread FUD.] -May 21 08:45

DaemonFCor anything with strong crypto (128-bit RSA or higher)May 21 19:39
DaemonFCI think the GPL technically forbids Fedora to distribute anything at all to anyone because of thatMay 21 19:40
DaemonFCit has a provision that says something to the effect that if the law interferes with the provisions of the GPL, you have no right to distribute the GPL-covered software at allMay 21 19:40
DaemonFCI think that entire provision is misguidedMay 21 19:41
DaemonFCit puts lots of perfectly legitimate software in a gray area to make a political statementMay 21 19:41
DaemonFCbut would you expect anything less from the FSF? :)May 21 19:42
DaemonFCpersonally I don't care if US law says I can't use or distribute free software, they can go ahead and arrest me if they think they have a caseMay 21 19:42
DaemonFCif a law is unjust, I think it is a civic duty to ignore itMay 21 19:43
DaemonFCobviously I don't like the implications of that, because that means it's up to every person to decide what laws we obey or disobey, but the existence of unjust laws makes that an unfortunate necessityMay 21 19:44
