schestowitz[20:33] <leo_rockway> but, to be honest, that thing about the virgin of emacs was mostly lefty trying to make Gnome fork away from the GNU project and include more mono, IMO.Oct 10 00:15
schestowitz[20:33] <leo_rockway> ddv: I think so too.Oct 10 00:15
schestowitz[20:33] <leo_rockway> but since we're in #fsf we'll just get called fanbois.Oct 10 00:15
schestowitz[20:34] <rm> <leo_rockway> and he says that the virgin of emacs is any woman that has never used emacs before and that she should be made to use emacs to lose her emacs virginityOct 10 00:15

schestowitz[20:37] <leo_rockway> he also says that there's no OS but GNU and Linux is one of its kernels, just like the muslims say that about Allah and Mohamed.Oct 10 00:16
schestowitz[20:37] <leo_rockway> he's obviously using real religions to feed the church of emacs...Oct 10 00:16
schestowitz[20:37] <leo_rockway> if anything, I'd understand people complaining about that, but not about sexism.Oct 10 00:16
schestowitz[20:43] <sweetandy> I'm pretty sure the "no OS but GNU" is a joke, a parody if you willOct 10 00:16

DaemonFCAnother question for the agesOct 10 10:41
DaemonFCWhy doesn't any non-Mozilla mail program handle IMAP accounts properly?Oct 10 10:41
MinceRdo they?Oct 10 10:42
DaemonFCthey seem toOct 10 10:42
MinceRare you having issues with Claws Mail?Oct 10 10:42
schestowitzI gues that in DaemonFC's world the only applications that exist are ones he triedOct 10 10:42
DaemonFCwhen I want to use IMAP, I want it to use SERVER folders, not LOCAL foldersOct 10 10:42
MinceRnot sure what that meansOct 10 10:43
DaemonFCthe entire point of IMAP is to maintain client and server synchronization Oct 10 10:43
MinceRmy IMAP clients tend to maintain a mirror of the folders on the serverOct 10 10:43
DaemonFCif I wanted to spew mail all over local folders, I would use POPOct 10 10:43
DaemonFCbecause POP is supposed to do thatOct 10 10:43
MinceRusually you get to choose whether to keep a local copy of mailOct 10 10:44
DaemonFCI screwed around with KMail2 for probably 20 minutes to get it to use SSL, which it doesn't by default for some reasonOct 10 10:44
DaemonFCand also to get it to send email using my SMTP account, not my local hostOct 10 10:44
DaemonFC:)Oct 10 10:44
DaemonFCand after that it decides the right place to store sent mail on an IMAP account is the local Sent folder, without notifying the serverOct 10 10:45
DaemonFCin IMAP, you use plain old SMTP to send mail, so there's two operations that need doneOct 10 10:45
DaemonFC1. Tell the server to send the message.Oct 10 10:45

DaemonFCKMail only does 1Oct 10 10:46
DaemonFCwhy is this important? same reason I use IMAP, so it doesn't matter if I use more than one mail client on more than one device, or if something screws up and deletes my local copiesOct 10 10:47
MinceRit depends on where you tell KMail to put sent mailOct 10 10:47
DaemonFCif I wanted one local copy on one mail client on one device, waiting for something to corrupt it, I would use POP3Oct 10 10:47
MinceRjust like with most email clientsOct 10 10:48
DaemonFCPOP3 is so 90sOct 10 10:48

DaemonFCwhich is ridiculousOct 10 16:12
DaemonFCFirefox and Chrome use Google's Safe Browsing API, and Opera uses that plus netcraft and phishtankOct 10 16:13
DaemonFCInternet Explorer phones home to Microsoft whenever you download anythingOct 10 16:13
DaemonFCso if you go to the pirate bay and download a torrent file, it tells them about thatOct 10 16:13
DaemonFCnow, Google said it wants to do something like that for Chrome, but so far all there is is a set of potentially dangerous file types it will warn you about openingOct 10 16:14
DaemonFCthat has to be the most malicious privacy violation posing as a security feature everOct 10 16:14
DaemonFCand the second that Firefox does something like that, I won't touch Firefox (not that I think they would, there'd be too much blowback)Oct 10 16:15
DaemonFCremember, Firefox users are mostly a self-selected groupOct 10 16:15
DaemonFCChrome is getting marketshare via drive by downloads on Windows with unrelated programsOct 10 16:15
DaemonFCthere's a quality user that Firefox has that Chrome doesn'tOct 10 16:16
DaemonFCand it will allow Google to get away with more Oct 10 16:16
DaemonFCthe only "major" browsers I really trust are Mozilla ones, and maybe OperaOct 10 16:16
DaemonFCGoogle has a worse EULA than Opera doesOct 10 16:17
DaemonFCit has a really long EULA that covers the software AND the web "services"Oct 10 16:17
DaemonFCwhen you use Opera, you only agree to the EULA for OperaOct 10 16:17
DaemonFCyou don't agree to the EULA for Unite or Link until you actually try to use themOct 10 16:18
DaemonFCso it doesn't give them a blanket "you can spy on me" just for using the browser, unlike ChromeOct 10 16:18
DaemonFCGoogle is really milking this Chromium as open core thingOct 10 16:18
DaemonFCand in the mean time, they do nasty shit to make it hard on Linux distributions to package and support Chromium instead of ChromeOct 10 16:19
DaemonFCI'm not even sure the privacy violations in Chromium are even legal since you didn't have to agree to them to use the software, but they're still on by default anywayOct 10 16:20
