iophk | Free Software communities, and the rest of the world, need to face up to the fact that M$ is a social problem more than a technical one. Without the zealots, boosters and belluzos, M$ would disappear from the market quite quickly. | Sep 18 10:03 |
amarsh04 | the trouble is that there is an entrenched acceptance of microsoft software running stuff that requires safety-critical software | Sep 18 10:31 |
iophk | The acceptance, IMHO, comes from having too many zealots, boosters and belluzos around. | Sep 18 10:32 |
amarsh04 | agreed, but the process of getting microsoft disappeared from where safety-critical software should be used has some hysteresis (pardon the use of the term but it's the best word I could think of) | Sep 18 10:34 |

iophk | An added advantage is that the hardware cannot be re-purposed to run M$ without purchasing a lot of additional hardware. | Sep 18 12:07 |

amarsh04 | if a package needs a minimum version of another package, the Debian package dependency system is the place to put it, not leave it for the users to find out when something crashes | Sep 18 13:07 |
iophk | The package manager should do that work. | Sep 18 13:08 |

MinceR | nope | Sep 18 19:46 |
DaemonFC | ok, this is funny | Sep 18 19:47 |
DaemonFC | it works on chat.freenode but not irc.freenode | Sep 18 19:47 |
DaemonFC | but why did it work fin with irc.freenode until now? | Sep 18 19:48 |

schestowitz | Maybe just a glitch in the matrix | Sep 18 20:09 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: use another irc client | Sep 18 20:09 |
schestowitz | xchat lacks many features that konversation has | Sep 18 20:09 |
MinceR | DaemonFC: perhaps the CN of the cert is chat.freenode.net | Sep 18 20:10 |
DaemonFC | seems like the recent openssl rebuild broke XChat's SSL abilities | Sep 18 20:10 |
MinceR | so it checks out right with that domain name but not with the other | Sep 18 20:10 |
DaemonFC | no, I thought it did | Sep 18 20:11 |
DaemonFC | I changed the port to 7070 and then it changed it back because I guess I didn't hit enter hard enough :P | Sep 18 20:11 |
DaemonFC | when I looked back it said 8000 which isn't a secure port | Sep 18 20:11 |
DaemonFC | so oops | Sep 18 20:12 |
DaemonFC | I don't know why it doesn't break anything else I use | Sep 18 20:13 |
DaemonFC | over the last few months I've been trying to migrate anything I can to SSL | Sep 18 20:15 |
DaemonFC | even if it's trivial | Sep 18 20:15 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: I noticed that no distribution gives Seamonkey any serious consideration | Sep 18 20:56 |
DaemonFC | the best way to get it seems to be downloading a tarball of it and throwing it into /opt if there's other users on the machine that want to use it | Sep 18 20:57 |
DaemonFC | or your home folder works too if it's jsut you | Sep 18 20:57 |
DrumScum | DaemonFC: seamonkey is available in Gentoo just fine | Sep 18 21:22 |
DrumScum | just an emerge away | Sep 18 21:22 |
DrumScum | not in debian though, at first glance | Sep 18 21:23 |
koolhead171 | hi guys | Sep 18 21:23 |
DaemonFC | Ubuntu still has 2.0.13 | Sep 18 21:25 |
DaemonFC | *sigh* | Sep 18 21:25 |
schestowitz | what program? | Sep 18 21:34 |
schestowitz | seamonkey? | Sep 18 21:34 |
DaemonFC | yeah | Sep 18 21:35 |
DaemonFC | Fedora is at 2.0.14 iirc | Sep 18 21:35 |
DaemonFC | neither of them seem to maintain it | Sep 18 21:35 |
schestowitz | How many people do you think use it? I know only one, Fernando. | Sep 18 21:38 |
DaemonFC | they package tons of things that are probably used less | Sep 18 21:44 |
schestowitz | their gecko is out of date | Sep 18 21:46 |
DaemonFC | whose? | Sep 18 21:46 |
schestowitz | sm | Sep 18 21:47 |
DaemonFC | Ubuntu is several major releases behind | Sep 18 21:48 |
DaemonFC | of course it's outdated | Sep 18 21:48 |
schestowitz | ubuntu is behind yeah | Sep 18 21:48 |
schestowitz | not just in releases | Sep 18 21:48 |
schestowitz | it uses unity | Sep 18 21:48 |
schestowitz | a catchup job | Sep 18 21:49 |
schestowitz | a catchup Jobs | Sep 18 21:49 |
schestowitz | Ubuntu wants to be OSuX | Sep 18 21:49 |
schestowitz | Instead of being GNOME | Sep 18 21:49 |
schestowitz | So when ypu wonder why it struggles now, it figures | Sep 18 21:49 |
schestowitz | People don;'t go to Linux for cheap OSux, they want LINNNNUX | Sep 18 21:50 |
DaemonFC | well, they're also responsible for AMD not supporting GNOME Shell | Sep 18 21:50 |
DaemonFC | if they used GNOME Shell, AMD would support it | Sep 18 21:50 |
DaemonFC | this way they have an excuse not to | Sep 18 21:50 |
DaemonFC | "Ubuntu isn't using it" | Sep 18 21:50 |
*sebsebseb (~3seb@unaffiliated/sebsebseb) has joined #techrights | Sep 18 22:04 | |
sebsebseb | hi | Sep 18 22:05 |
DrumScum | amd not 'supporting' gnome shell? | Sep 18 22:08 |
DrumScum | eh? | Sep 18 22:08 |
DrumScum | how should i interpret this? | Sep 18 22:09 |
schestowitz | AMD "does it with Ubuntu:" :-) | Sep 18 22:09 |
DaemonFC | DrumScum: Their FGLRX driver garbles the Shell | Sep 18 22:09 |
DaemonFC | makes it unusable | Sep 18 22:09 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: what's this | Sep 18 22:10 |
sebsebseb | I just joined | Sep 18 22:10 |
DrumScum | aw, that sucks... | Sep 18 22:10 |
DrumScum | so radeon it is then :-p | Sep 18 22:10 |
*DrumScum rarely uses fglrx | Sep 18 22:10 | |
sebsebseb | What's this about AMD not supporting Gnome Shell, but supporting Unity? | Sep 18 22:11 |
DrumScum | well, i don't really get it... | Sep 18 22:11 |
DaemonFC | because Unity is easy to support | Sep 18 22:12 |
DaemonFC | it uses Compiz | Sep 18 22:12 |
DaemonFC | Compiz has tons of FGLRX workarounds | Sep 18 22:12 |
DrumScum | surely the graphics driver just has to draw whatever the program asks? | Sep 18 22:12 |
DaemonFC | and doesn't use OpenGL 2 | Sep 18 22:12 |
DrumScum | oh, like that | Sep 18 22:12 |
DrumScum | the catch-up game | Sep 18 22:12 |
DaemonFC | OpenGL 2 deprecates the use of fixed functions in favor of programmable shaders | Sep 18 22:13 |
DaemonFC | it's why KDE 4.7 falls back to the OpenGL 1.4 backend for FGLRX | Sep 18 22:13 |
DaemonFC | but free drivers and Nvidia get OpenGL 2 | Sep 18 22:13 |
DrumScum | okay, that's cool for me | Sep 18 22:14 |
DaemonFC | the nice thing about OpenGL ES 2 is that it gets rid of a lot of crap that is either deprecated in OpenGL anyway, or not all that useful for the kind of stuff "mobile" applications will need, like portable video game systems, tablets, phones, etc. | Sep 18 22:16 |
DaemonFC | it performs better because the API is much smaller | Sep 18 22:16 |
DaemonFC | same thing as GLIDE vs. OpenGL, kind of | Sep 18 22:16 |
DaemonFC | the differences aren't drastic on a powerful GPU but they're noticable | Sep 18 22:16 |
DaemonFC | same rationale too, the OpenGL API is enormous and way too bloated to implement on that kind of hardware constraint | Sep 18 22:18 |
DaemonFC | so OpenGL ES is the light and fast version with the most useful stuff | Sep 18 22:18 |
DaemonFC | KDE supports it for a number of reasons | Sep 18 22:18 |
DaemonFC | mostly mobile devices and Wayland | Sep 18 22:18 |
DaemonFC | unfortunately, I think FGLRX is too much of a mess to support OpenGL ES when it can't even cope with OpenGL a lot of the time | Sep 18 22:19 |
*abushcrafter has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Sep 18 22:20 | |
*DaemonFC has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Sep 18 22:25 | |
DrumScum | okay, but in the end it's not so much amd not supporting the gnome shell, but rather fglrx not supporting recent OpenGL stuff... | Sep 18 22:29 |
DrumScum | i don't really care ei | Sep 18 22:30 |
DrumScum | ther way | Sep 18 22:30 |
DrumScum | on my machines with ATI/AMD grahpics hardware, i just use radeon | Sep 18 22:30 |
DrumScum | fsck the proprietary crap that's fglrx | Sep 18 22:31 |
DrumScum | bit of a pity really that the free drivers for ati/amd outclass the free drivers for nvidia | Sep 18 22:32 |
DrumScum | while it's the other way around for the proprietary stuff... | Sep 18 22:33 |

schestowitz | Canadians whom I know are nice | Sep 18 23:43 |
schestowitz | Heck, a friend from Canada was in my house yesterday | Sep 18 23:43 |
ThistleWind | so how long before he'sallowed back? | Sep 18 23:43 |
schestowitz | He's lookigf for a job in the UK | Sep 18 23:43 |
schestowitz | Not quite the best place to look, but there ya go.. | Sep 18 23:43 |
schestowitz | I heard Toronto is in fact one of the most multicultural citirs now, but each group cassifies itself geographically there based on DNA | Sep 18 23:44 |
schestowitz | ThistleWind: he wanted some drama | Sep 18 23:44 |
schestowitz | Like daemon and s\*it | Sep 18 23:44 |
ThistleWind | wasn't what I asked | Sep 18 23:45 |
DaemonFC | There was a Bait Car set in Toronto a while back | Sep 18 23:45 |
schestowitz | ThistleWind: he has been unbanned | Sep 18 23:45 |
DaemonFC | you know, one of those reality shows where the cops leave a $50,000 car with the engine running in a poor black neighborhood | Sep 18 23:45 |
schestowitz | I unbanned him when I saw Goblin did it partly as a joke | Sep 18 23:45 |
ThistleWind | already allowed? why am I not surprised | Sep 18 23:45 |
DaemonFC | and 3 minutes later, it's off | Sep 18 23:45 |
*ThistleWind shrugs | Sep 18 23:46 | |
schestowitz | ThistleWind: we prefer not to ban people if they can change their behaviour | Sep 18 23:46 |
schestowitz | as DaemonFC mostly done | Sep 18 23:46 |
ThistleWind | lol,yeah | Sep 18 23:46 |
schestowitz | today he has posted interesting info | Sep 18 23:46 |
ThistleWind | apologism today | Sep 18 23:46 |
schestowitz | there's this one person in COLA, homer | Sep 18 23:46 |
schestowitz | he's Scottish and has a short fuse for people with different opinion | Sep 18 23:47 |
schestowitz | Even pro-Linux people if they don't agree on some things not IT-related | Sep 18 23:47 |
ThistleWind | so being an apologist yourself, I assume you won't be playing the hypocrite in complaining about other apologists | Sep 18 23:47 |
schestowitz | filtering by interest with a killfile rather than reading prefs | Sep 18 23:47 |

ThistleWind | ahhh that;s your chosen logic loophole huh "a person" | Sep 18 23:49 |
schestowitz | Nore like someone who decided to dump Window | Sep 18 23:49 |
schestowitz | And then tries Windows again | Sep 18 23:49 |
schestowitz | Not the same as pretending Microsoft is ethical | Sep 18 23:49 |
schestowitz | ThistleWind: you can /ignore people whose presence you don't like | Sep 18 23:50 |
schestowitz | Rather than impose chcannel-wise ignore with a ban | Sep 18 23:50 |
ThistleWind | it's people who willingly ignore the evidence and make excuses for them | Sep 18 23:50 |
schestowitz | Depends on slassification | Sep 18 23:50 |
ThistleWind | I already have ignore all 5 of his nicks, then wildcarded it after he claimed he only had 2 | Sep 18 23:50 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz: entertainment for the rich white folks | Sep 18 23:50 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC has not trolled in a long time | Sep 18 23:50 |
ThistleWind | that's true | Sep 18 23:50 |

DaemonFC | Cadillac Escalade in a poor neighborhood | Sep 18 23:50 |
schestowitz | taxpayers pay for it | Sep 18 23:51 |
ThistleWind | as I've said before, it's your channel, your rules, your reputation | Sep 18 23:51 |
schestowitz | the Sony high-def cams as well | Sep 18 23:51 |
schestowitz | So why would the police mind? | Sep 18 23:51 |
schestowitz | Imagine the crowd gasping, that's MY car!! | Sep 18 23:51 |
DaemonFC | the police put it there | Sep 18 23:51 |
DaemonFC | then when someone steals it, they're on camera | Sep 18 23:52 |
DaemonFC | and so there's no defense | Sep 18 23:52 |
ThistleWind | stuff like this just allows people to label you as a hypocrite using loopholes to justify why it's ok for you to complain at others, but not apply it to yourself | Sep 18 23:52 |
schestowitz | I don't see how | Sep 18 23:52 |
ThistleWind | no you don't | Sep 18 23:52 |
ThistleWind | or you don't want to | Sep 18 23:52 |
DaemonFC | instead of promoting crime, shouldn't the police be solving some of the existing crime? | Sep 18 23:52 |
ThistleWind | doesn't change it | Sep 18 23:52 |
schestowitz | Unless I accuse others of not banning trolls | Sep 18 23:52 |
DaemonFC | is it just me that thinks that? | Sep 18 23:52 |
schestowitz | Which I do wrt Ubuntu Forums | Sep 18 23:52 |
schestowitz | Like when they get mono boosters in | Sep 18 23:53 |
schestowitz | It's the pro-MS trolls | Sep 18 23:53 |
schestowitz | And MS interns | Sep 18 23:53 |
schestowitz | Who try to get more influence in Ubuntu | Sep 18 23:53 |
ThistleWind | as I said before, if you're happy pouring a lot of work into something with a glass ceiling, that's your time to waste | Sep 18 23:53 |
DaemonFC | seems like they have Canonical by the balls | Sep 18 23:53 |
DaemonFC | they're basically Novell 2.0 | Sep 18 23:53 |
schestowitz | ThistleWind: DaemonFC causes no trouble her, IMHO | Sep 18 23:53 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: Canonical is big fish | Sep 18 23:53 |
ThistleWind | for a while now yes, I agree | Sep 18 23:54 |
DaemonFC | they have to kill Canonical off because Ubuntu is getting some traction | Sep 18 23:54 |
schestowitz | If they can subvert Canonical, they harm Linux on the desktop | Sep 18 23:54 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: MSFT mentioned it int he SE filings | Sep 18 23:54 |
schestowitz | But no more | Sep 18 23:54 |
ThistleWind | since you're determined not to see the obvious, I'm wasting my time | Sep 18 23:54 |
schestowitz | SEC | Sep 18 23:54 |
DaemonFC | it's really the first Linux distribution that has seriously threatened consumer Windows | Sep 18 23:55 |
schestowitz | If you used /ignore, then you needn't waste time | Sep 18 23:55 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: but Canonical needs OEM deals that Google too is taking now | Sep 18 23:55 |
ThistleWind | has it occurred to you that this channel is much like your own COLA? | Sep 18 23:55 |
schestowitz | So it's no longer just OS X that should worry them | Sep 18 23:55 |
DaemonFC | I agree that Canonical stands to steal some of Microsoft's lunch, so why paint a target on themselves with Microsoft API (Mono)? | Sep 18 23:55 |
