DrPizzaschestowitz: You fail to explain how these "criteria" negatively impact on actual _users_.Jul 19 00:00
SnitDrPizza: it is sad.  Schestowitz is completely convinced he is right but he has *nothing* to support his claim.Jul 19 00:00
DrPizzaIt's funny, you're very like RMS in that regard.Jul 19 00:00
ThistleWebI see it like DVD players who state a "feature" is that it "plays region 2 discs", there's 8 regions, it can't play the other 7, but being able to play only 1 is a "feature"Jul 19 00:00
schestowitz[23:59] <DrPizza> DRM is irrelevant.Jul 19 00:00
schestowitzTell this to Live Music usersJul 19 00:00
schestowitzOr whatever Microsoft called that last DRM scheme that collapsedJul 19 00:00
DrPizza???Jul 19 00:00
SnitHe wants me to follow some links and try to interpret them as he does so maybe I can figure out his attempts at reasoning. Jul 19 00:00
DrPizzaWe're talking about Mac OS X.Jul 19 00:00
ThistleWebyou're allowed to use it oonly in ways authorised by the makersJul 19 00:01
schestowitzI'm not like RMSJul 19 00:01
schestowitzI'm RSSJul 19 00:01
schestowitzAnd I don't agree with him on many thingsJul 19 00:01
schestowitzYou did the same blanket test/statement about _GoblinJul 19 00:01
Snitschestowitz: again - I am on a Mac.  Now.  How is it being "hostile" to me as a user?  I can speak of many areas where it is being "friendly" - and more so than any other environment.Jul 19 00:01
DrPizzatrue, you're not like RMS; you've contributed even less to society than he has.Jul 19 00:01
schestowitzsuggesting that his convictions are inheroted from others in this channel. How foolish.Jul 19 00:01
Snitschestowitz: but you are saying *your* views are simply those at some links.  I am asking about your views.  Your support.  For your claim.Jul 19 00:02
schestowitzDrPizza: I'm in my 20sJul 19 00:02
SnitAnd you have nothing.Jul 19 00:02
schestowitzIIRC, many people don't do significant things until their 30sJul 19 00:02
SnitHeck, I can give examples of how desktop Linux is "user hostile"… works against how users (humans) operate.  Jul 19 00:02
DrPizzaI mean, I don't agree with pretty much any of RMS's viewpoints on "freedom", but at least the man wrote some source code in the 80s.Jul 19 00:02
DrPizzaWhat have you done?Jul 19 00:03
SnitI wrote an AIM bot that fooled people for hours at a time.  :)Jul 19 00:03
DrPizzalolJul 19 00:03
DrPizzaI'm asking schestowitz Jul 19 00:03
SnitDoes that count?  :)   OK, I also educate people on how to use computers.  Jul 19 00:03
schestowitzI write FOSS all the timeJul 19 00:03
SnitI know… I just wanted to jump in and answer for myself.  Jul 19 00:03
schestowitzlates...Jul 19 00:04
schestowitzlaters...Jul 19 00:04
Snitschestowitz: can you name some of your projects?  I would like to see what they are and what they do.Jul 19 00:04
Snitschestowitz: later.  Have a great dayJul 19 00:04
*dyfet (~dyfet@ool-4574c106.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #techrightsJul 19 00:05
SnitTo be clear: schestowitz says Macs are "user hostile" but cannot think of how, and also claims to write FOSS every day - but cannot provide a single software title for me to look at.Jul 19 00:05
SnitInteresting.Jul 19 00:05
schestowitzmost of my code achieves innovatiev scientific stuff and you can find it on my site if you look. please stop highlighting me... I am trying to focus on the code Jul 19 00:05
_GoblinRight...Im gonna have to say gn.....Jul 19 00:06
*_Goblin has quit (Quit: Leaving)Jul 19 00:06
DrPizzaSnit: also earlier he was asking for assistance with what appear to be pretty rudimentary compiler errors.Jul 19 00:06
SnitI will stay out of the compiler debates.  While I have done *some* programming and a bit more scripting (wherever you draw that line) I am *not* a programmer.Jul 19 00:07
SnitI think my bot was likely the most complex thing I wrote - and it was only a few thousand lines - and most of that was essentially lookup tables.  And in AppleScript, which is not exactly a concise language.Jul 19 00:08
SnitHmmm, I should run.  Dinner in less than an hour and I have yet to start.Jul 19 00:08
SnitAny ideas on what I should make for dinner?  :)Jul 19 00:08

SnitThey can be said to no longer be *personal* because they are designed to have multiple user accounts.  That is what the "personal" originally meantJul 19 23:42
cubezzzthe older term is microcomputerJul 19 23:42
ThistleWebpersonalise to your needsJul 19 23:42
ThistleWebinstall the programs you needsJul 19 23:42
ThistleWebif your needs work better without windows, tough....you're using it wrongJul 19 23:43
cubezzzhang out in #classiccmp for a while, that will change your perceptions a bitJul 19 23:44
SnitThe original idea of "personal" was that it was to be used by an individual (or at least one at a time).  Contrasted with the mainframes of the day.Jul 19 23:44
ThistleWebI know the common use of PCJul 19 23:44
cubezzzmaybe even broaden your horizonsJul 19 23:44
ThistleWebjust sayin' it's not accurateJul 19 23:44
SnitThistleWeb: great.Jul 19 23:44
ThistleWeblike there's no such thing as a PC virusJul 19 23:44
ThistleWebdespite the millions of hits on Google claiming otherwiseJul 19 23:44
SnitBut it *is* accurate.  It just confuses some when it has two closely related meanings.Jul 19 23:44
*schestowitz does not say "mac", says "Mac OS 10" or "apple-branded PC"Jul 19 23:45
ThistleWebthere is Windows virusesJul 19 23:45
SnitWell: accurate but now always completely precise.  Are tablets PCs?Jul 19 23:45
cubezzzthe Mac vs PC ads are silly thoughJul 19 23:45
ThistleWebtablets are PCs yesJul 19 23:45
*schestowitz thinks it's like saying "Muslin child" about a kid who never chose a religionJul 19 23:45
SnitWell, the ones running desktop OSs might be… but the ones with iOS, which are in many ways more personal, are not generally seen as soJul 19 23:45
ThistleWebdifferent form factor, different use cases, but yesJul 19 23:45
cubezzzform factor is significant thoughJul 19 23:45
cubezzzI call those HandheldsJul 19 23:46
schestowitztablets are a form factorJul 19 23:46
schestowitzPCs is a class in salesJul 19 23:46
cubezzzand my regular "PC" is a desktopJul 19 23:46
SnitI think the idea if a tablet is a PC is still a bit up in the air.  And if they are, how about iPod Touches and the like?Jul 19 23:46
schestowitzserver versus mainframe, PC, etc.Jul 19 23:46
schestowitzphones become similar to PCsJul 19 23:46
schestowitzThey go upscaleJul 19 23:46
cubezzzit's got memory, removeable media, even sound, and a cpuJul 19 23:46
Snitschestowitz: I am more with you on that.  I would not consider a server or tablet to be a PC.  In generalJul 19 23:46
cubezzzso it's a computer... but it's a handheld computerJul 19 23:47
_GoblinIve never thought about the PC name......I would suppose just like "hoover" PC is a generic term come to mean whatever context its said in.Jul 19 23:47
schestowitzcubezzz: I can hold up my PC :-)Jul 19 23:47
cubezzzcan you hold it in one hand?Jul 19 23:47
SnitGoblin: right - the meaning is different depending on context.Jul 19 23:47
cubezzz;-)Jul 19 23:47
ThistleWebI see a PC as a combination of hardware and OS, which allows the user to install, configure it to their needs, regardless of the form factorJul 19 23:47
ThistleWeba smartphone can do thatJul 19 23:47
_GoblinI think I would always consider a PC to be a keyboard mouse and monitor, with CPU....thats the mental image it throws up if the PC word is said on its own.....Jul 19 23:47
cubezzzThistleWeb, if I can interject a bit...Jul 19 23:47
ThistleWebso can a tabletJul 19 23:48
cubezzzyou don't have bios source code... it's a bit of a problem Jul 19 23:48
_Goblinof course PC in another context could mean "politically correct"Jul 19 23:48
ThistleWebnot sure about an ipodJul 19 23:48
SnitAnd I see toys that have right on their packages: 10 pcsJul 19 23:48
cubezzzthere are some rare exceptional cases thoughJul 19 23:48
SnitI do not expect to get 10 computers in the bag!  :)Jul 19 23:48
ThistleWebapple and microsoft license under conditions, meaning they have the kill switch, meaning they're never truely yoursJul 19 23:48
cubezzzright, PC == vague termJul 19 23:49
SnitAn iPod is pretty much just a small iPad.  Jul 19 23:49
_Goblinlike hooverJul 19 23:49
cubezzzprobably better not to use itJul 19 23:49
ThistleWebeven android is to some degreeJul 19 23:49
cubezzzno one thinks about their BIOS :-/Jul 19 23:49
cubezzzit's a glaring weaknessJul 19 23:49
_Goblininfact podcast is a name that conjures up different opinions....Jul 19 23:49
schestowitzcubezzz: bi-OS (fdual boot)Jul 19 23:50
schestowitz:-pJul 19 23:50
SnitMy PC does not have a BIOSJul 19 23:50
ThistleWeb"I don't like Safari as my iPad browser, I think I'll see what else is available which may suit my needs"Jul 19 23:50

SnitEFIJul 19 23:50
_Goblinschestowitz: I feel your pain.....I zapped Sabayon, my fault entirelyJul 19 23:51
SnitApple uses EFI and not BIOSJul 19 23:51
schestowitzfor me it was spaceJul 19 23:51
SnitThough for booting Windows it can emulate BIOSJul 19 23:51
_Goblinschestowitz: for me it was stupidityJul 19 23:51
ThistleWebapple's stuff is still a PC as long as you stick within thir walled gardenJul 19 23:51
schestowitzmy 5 partitions have legacy in themJul 19 23:51
SnitThistleWeb: not sure what you mean.  You mean the "walled garden" of iOS?Jul 19 23:51
schestowitz_Goblin: lxny will be upsetJul 19 23:52
SnitBut that would mean all iOS devices you see as PCs.  Which seems a bit offJul 19 23:52
SnitoddJul 19 23:52
cubezzzIntel does some bad things with EFIJul 19 23:52
Snitcubezzz: such as?Jul 19 23:52

cubezzzyou don't really know what it does eitherJul 19 23:52
schestowitzApple is the effin of EFIJul 19 23:52
ThistleWebI mean apple set out workflows of how things should be done, as long as you use the devices that way, you won't have a problem....as soon as you develop some independant thought and decide you want your workflow a little bit different, apple block youJul 19 23:53
Snitcubezzz: I also do not know the details of how my car works.  I am OK with that.  It still serves my needs very wellJul 19 23:53
schestowitzThistleWeb: indeedJul 19 23:53
ThistleWebwant an ipad without itunes? good luck, the staff need to sign you up with a credit card before you can buy an ipadJul 19 23:53

schestowitzMy other mate Peter needed to buy a new PAYG phoneJul 19 23:54
cubezzzI'd rather have all the code that my computer executes in source form so I can see itJul 19 23:54
ThistleWebthat's fine if you like itunes, and WANT to do the apple workflowJul 19 23:54
SnitThat is like complaining that when you buy a Corolla it only supports Toyota engines.  Well, yeah… you might be able to hack something else into there, but… why complain about it?Jul 19 23:54
schestowitzBecause his Iphone got bricked by the providerJul 19 23:54
cubezzzand at least try to understand itJul 19 23:54
schestowitzBecause he tried to actually use it the way he wanted toJul 19 23:54
schestowitzIt's absolutely disgustingJul 19 23:54
schestowitzPeople spending hours fighting to just use something they paid forJul 19 23:55
Snitschestowitz: what is disgusting?  I missed it?Jul 19 23:55
ThistleWebif it's a "personal computer" you should be able to set it up to suit your personal circumstance and workflowJul 19 23:55
schestowitzAnyway, I told him about cynogenmode and maybe next time he'll get android. He has been an iphone cultist for yearsJul 19 23:55
SnitNo, they do not.  They might pay a lot of money and spend a lot of time putting a Ford engine into a Corolla, but that is their right.Jul 19 23:55
SnitNot something I would expect Toyota to really help them with.Jul 19 23:55
cubezzzpre-1977 computers came with bios source codeJul 19 23:55
ThistleWebwhen there's restrictions like "you have to use itunes to transfer files" it's stuill apple's PC, not yoursJul 19 23:56

schestowitzI can do what I want with the codeJul 19 23:58
SnitIn other words: you just hate anything that is not open source.  I got it.  Nothing against the Mac, just it does not fit your personal preference.Jul 19 23:58
SnitGreat!Jul 19 23:58

ThistleWebmicrosoft do the same as apple hereJul 19 23:58
schestowitzThey try to make you feel tis way... so does MicrosoftJul 19 23:58
