| MinceR | well, it makes sense | Jun 01 20:37 |
| MinceR | god is also used as a non-proper noun | Jun 01 20:37 |
| MinceR | satan isn't | Jun 01 20:38 |
| MinceR | capitalizing "god" is christian-centric | Jun 01 20:38 |

| MinceR | vegre->verge | Jun 01 20:43 |

| MinceR | and i almost missed it | Jun 01 20:44 |
| MinceR | first i thought i made a typo | Jun 01 20:44 |
| MinceR | then i noticed this pathetic mail client imitation is fucking with me | Jun 01 20:44 |
| schestowitz | it's worse with grammar checkers | Jun 01 20:48 |
| schestowitz | FP (false positives) make them a waste of time sometimes | Jun 01 20:49 |
| schestowitz | You write something decent | Jun 01 20:49 |
| schestowitz | And usually you'd carry on | Jun 01 20:49 |
| schestowitz | But then you struggle with a dummy program, which wrongly insists you did nothing wrong | Jun 01 20:49 |
| MinceR | at least grammar checkers don't shit all over what i've written | Jun 01 20:49 |
| MinceR | they just put an annoying underline | Jun 01 20:49 |
| schestowitz | For people with poor grammar it might be handy | Jun 01 20:49 |
| MinceR | m$ crap decides to rewrite what i've written | Jun 01 20:49 |
| schestowitz | otherwise, proofreading catches all the same stuff | Jun 01 20:49 |
| schestowitz | OHHHH | Jun 01 20:50 |
| schestowitz | Yes, Office | Jun 01 20:50 |
| schestowitz | It auto-corrects | Jun 01 20:50 |
| schestowitz | "corrects" | Jun 01 20:50 |
| MinceR | auto-corWreck | Jun 01 20:50 |
| schestowitz | Turning spreadsheets into sh*t | Jun 01 20:50 |
| schestowitz | And documents into something you never wrote | Jun 01 20:50 |
| schestowitz | Which can then embarrass you | Jun 01 20:50 |
| MinceR | nah, the spreadsheets get a more effective treatment called "calculation bugs" | Jun 01 20:50 |
| MinceR | where you get all sorts of wrong results | Jun 01 20:50 |
| schestowitz | Well, you can disable auto-correct | Jun 01 20:50 |
| MinceR | and on top of that some values are displayed incorrectly | Jun 01 20:50 |
| schestowitz | My Palm insists on capitalising new sentence | Jun 01 20:50 |
| MinceR | i did disable it after this | Jun 01 20:50 |
| MinceR | but it should be opt-in, not opt-out | Jun 01 20:51 |
| schestowitz | Also very annoying as disabling this is not simple to think about (habits) | Jun 01 20:51 |
| MinceR | at least it should realize that the text isn't written in the language it expected it to be | Jun 01 20:51 |
| MinceR | (even if it doesn't handle accentless hungarian) | Jun 01 20:51 |
| schestowitz | [20:51] <MinceR> but it should be opt-in, not opt-out | Jun 01 20:51 |
| schestowitz | but they need selling points | Jun 01 20:51 |
| MinceR | most mobile OSes seem to have a thing for auto-capitalization, unfortunately | Jun 01 20:51 |
| schestowitz | "Buy the new version, coz..." | Jun 01 20:51 |
| schestowitz | They try to show you the glory of feeeechure bloat | Jun 01 20:52 |
| MinceR | "you don't have to use the worst email client imitation around" would be a big selling point | Jun 01 20:52 |

| ender_33 | So the first and the very negative answer is that I absolutely despise the people who try to push the GPL as being about "ethics". | Jun 01 20:52 |

| ender_33 | lol | Jun 01 20:53 |
| schestowitz | TBH, it's Jobism | Jun 01 20:53 |
| ender_33 | pragmatism | Jun 01 20:53 |
| schestowitz | I don't weigh his opinion on the FSF more highly than Cox's | Jun 01 20:53 |
| schestowitz | Who BTW is more polite | Jun 01 20:53 |
| MinceR | i prefer more tangible angles to the GPL | Jun 01 20:53 |
| schestowitz | it protects me | Jun 01 20:53 |
| schestowitz | Ethical to me | Jun 01 20:54 |
| schestowitz | Maybe Linus does not always understand or maybe people who contact him are faux FSFers | Jun 01 20:54 |
| schestowitz | In my mails to Linus I explained the pragmatic angle, about patents | Jun 01 20:54 |
| MinceR | defense against m$, defense against patent-based lockout and the practical advantages of free software (greater usefulness, better security, longevity, not having to worry about so much legal text) | Jun 01 20:54 |
| schestowitz | And why GPLv3 takes it a step further to protect | Jun 01 20:54 |
| schestowitz | Linus then told me that it would only exclude TomTom.... | Jun 01 20:55 |
| MinceR | it seems to me that Linus wants to allow tivoization and such crap | Jun 01 20:55 |
| schestowitz | So basically, he's OK with linus being taxed by Microsoft as long as it's being used, which is fair enough | Jun 01 20:55 |
| schestowitz | But I never pushed "ethics" to him | Jun 01 20:55 |
| ender_33 | isn't it better to have alinux powered tivo you can't modify vs a windows ce powered one | Jun 01 20:55 |
| schestowitz | Ethics just happen to be practical | Jun 01 20:55 |
| MinceR | it is | Jun 01 20:55 |
| MinceR | but it's even better to have a linux-powered tivo that you can modify | Jun 01 20:56 |
| schestowitz | Why do you think people helped Torvalds and not BSD or HURD? | Jun 01 20:56 |
| schestowitz | Maybe the licence he chose helped | Jun 01 20:56 |
| MinceR | schestowitz: GPL. also, iirc BSD had legal troubles when Linux started | Jun 01 20:56 |
| ender_33 | GPL isn't the only license out there though | Jun 01 20:56 |
| MinceR | (which of course got resolved) | Jun 01 20:56 |
| MinceR | ender_33: duh. | Jun 01 20:56 |
| ender_33 | people DO help out BSD | Jun 01 20:56 |
| schestowitz | If I were T'so back then, would I give code to something which can have patents discriminate me 'away' or have me locked out when someone like Mac Asay proprietarises my work? | Jun 01 20:56 |
| schestowitz | "appropriates+" :-) | Jun 01 20:56 |
| schestowitz | [20:56] <MinceR> but it's even better to have a linux-powered tivo that you can modify | Jun 01 20:57 |
| schestowitz | TiVo would not dump Linux | Jun 01 20:57 |
| schestowitz | They would have to get a new version | Jun 01 20:57 |
| schestowitz | And maybe adapt to pricing and GPLv3 | Jun 01 20:57 |
| schestowitz | Like sell the box at a higher price and allow the geeks to mod it | Jun 01 20:57 |
| MinceR | i think Linux is in a powerful enough position in the embedded market | Jun 01 20:57 |
| schestowitz | No big deal, they wanna be SCOny | Jun 01 20:58 |
| MinceR | and manufacturers could probably still say "if you reflash it, your warranty is void" | Jun 01 20:58 |
| schestowitz | yes | Jun 01 20:58 |
| schestowitz | Like some Android phons | Jun 01 20:58 |
| MinceR | and regardless of that, most users wouldn't even be aware of the possibility anyway | Jun 01 20:58 |

| schestowitz | MinceR: yes, exactly | Jun 01 20:59 |
| MinceR | so whatever stupid trick they rely on immutability for would probably still work on the masses anyway | Jun 01 20:59 |
| schestowitz | T hey worry as though people in the street would sell modded tivo boxes as lightweigfh PCS | Jun 01 20:59 |
| MinceR | well, maybe that | Jun 01 20:59 |
| schestowitz | PS3 pricing did not have everyone replace all x86 DCs with Cell | Jun 01 21:00 |
| schestowitz | Linux holds TiVo by the balls | Jun 01 21:00 |
| schestowitz | not the other way around | Jun 01 21:00 |
| schestowitz | He could adopt gplv3, the tricky part is telling this to all those with copyright on parts of Linux | Jun 01 21:00 |
| schestowitz | But they too would eventually man up and face the inevitable | Jun 01 21:01 |
| MinceR | they could at least start collecting permission and phasing out old code | Jun 01 21:01 |
| schestowitz | Like me having to accept BSD for some of my code which I wanted in GPL | Jun 01 21:01 |
| MinceR | it would probably be a lengthy process anyway | Jun 01 21:01 |

| schestowitz | Rather than put a promotional article I would like for the project's team to explain the work in the context of software freedom. In particular -- the relationship between free/open source database systems and access to one's data. | Jun 01 21:19 |
