DaemonFC | Nobody thought it could be done, but it looks like we've turned the tide against the Internet Blacklist Bill. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi just spoke out against it, and Republican Darrell Issa says it now stands "no chance of passage"! | Nov 18 00:30 |
DaemonFC | It's been a show of force like no other: More than 700k anti-censorship contacts have been delivered to Congress so far this week, as the Blacklsit Bill gets heard in committee. | Nov 18 00:30 |
DaemonFC | What an amazing couple of days -- let's top it off, and spread the great news! | Nov 18 00:30 |
DaemonFC | Please send one more message to Congress -- even if you already have -- touting our numbers and telling them they need to back down. Let's make it clear that the Internet has risen up, and won't back down until Congress heeds our calls. | Nov 18 00:30 |

sebsebseb | was it there in the first place? | Nov 18 00:30 |

XFaCE | "Q: Why bother going back? (especially when I said you wouldn't) | Nov 18 01:55 |
XFaCE | A: I noticed I was unbanned. I figured if I played nice and not let | Nov 18 01:55 |

schestowitz | I don't understand why anyone would care about what a kernel hacker thinks about desktop environments (same goes for Linus). | Nov 18 09:36 |
schestowitz | Anyway, his major complaints against Gnome Shell can be fixed by using extensions (re: multi-workspace support, the auto-move-windows extension) or actually visiting the system settings (re: keybindings). The multi-monitor support gripe is valid, though. | Nov 18 09:36 |
schestowitz | " | Nov 18 09:36 |
MinceR | it's more easily fixed by switching to a sane DE or WM, though | Nov 18 09:38 |
MinceR | instead of using one against its current design principles | Nov 18 09:38 |
prurigro | schestowitz: haha, gnome3 is so full of controversy | Nov 18 09:38 |
schestowitz | kde4 was too | Nov 18 09:39 |
schestowitz | before it became more like kde3 | Nov 18 09:39 |
prurigro | I think you got it though MinceR, you don't like how something works, use something else | Nov 18 09:39 |
prurigro | schestowitz: is it more like kde3 these days? I haven't touched kde in years now | Nov 18 09:40 |
schestowitz | It has been a slow news week | Nov 18 09:40 |
schestowitz | prurigro: kde4 has the same functionality as before | Nov 18 09:40 |
schestowitz | anyway, the migration of some Novell (and Microsoft) lackey to KDE it not worthy news | Nov 18 09:41 |
prurigro | schestowitz: well I mean, the first couple years of kde4 it still felt like a bunch of parts attached to eachother | Nov 18 09:43 |
prurigro | rather than a unified whole ala kde3 | Nov 18 09:44 |
MinceR | i mean i don't mind configuring the stuff i use but if it obviously wasn't designed to be configured or to be used flexibly and there are better options then it's not the way i'd go | Nov 18 09:44 |
MinceR | well, kde4 got more monolithic, unfortunately | Nov 18 09:44 |
MinceR | first they merged the panel with the desktop, then the tray applets started depending on plasma | Nov 18 09:45 |
MinceR | i've heard rumors of merging plasma with kwin | Nov 18 09:45 |
MinceR | well, kwin already fails at rendering the background with compositing if plasma-desktop isn't running | Nov 18 09:45 |
prurigro | what are you referring to in terms of customization? | Nov 18 09:45 |
MinceR | what do you mean, examples of options? | Nov 18 09:46 |
schestowitz | I've heard of n such rumours. it would make no practical sense. | Nov 18 09:46 |
MinceR | that doesn't stop anyone :> | Nov 18 09:46 |
prurigro | MinceR: you were talknig about not being designed to be configured or used flexibly? | Nov 18 09:47 |
MinceR | prurigro: i mean that gnome3 adopted the apple approach to that | Nov 18 09:47 |
schestowitz | you can use plasma with openbpx | Nov 18 09:47 |
MinceR | ("it confuses the stupidest users, so we don't allow it"/"we have an infallible vision and we're going to force it on you") | Nov 18 09:47 |
prurigro | MinceR: its actually pretty configurable right down to the nuts and bolts level, but you have to have some idea what you're doing | Nov 18 09:48 |
prurigro | the fall update added quite a bit of additional functionality too, so I'd imagine their model starts by building a feature more hard coded, and then slowly opening things up | Nov 18 09:48 |
MinceR | can you configure what happens if you close the lid of the laptop? | Nov 18 09:49 |
prurigro | definitely | Nov 18 09:49 |

MinceR | that's not what others said | Nov 18 09:49 |
prurigro | I run arch, so I had it a couple days after launch | Nov 18 09:49 |
prurigro | others don't use dconf-editor to configure gnome3 maybe? | Nov 18 09:50 |
MinceR | possible | Nov 18 09:50 |
prurigro | if you're a nub, gnome3 is pretty static | Nov 18 09:50 |
MinceR | considering that it's a desktop environment, one would expect a real configuration dialog | Nov 18 09:50 |
MinceR | not some sort of registry knockoff | Nov 18 09:50 |
MinceR | then there was the printer dialog issue, before gnome3 | Nov 18 09:51 |
MinceR | which is what made Linus switch to KDE, iirc | Nov 18 09:51 |
prurigro | MinceR it is a real config dialog-- its just got a LOT of options | Nov 18 09:52 |
MinceR | and it's hidden | Nov 18 09:52 |
prurigro | so they put the important ones in the big easy gui | Nov 18 09:52 |
MinceR | and it's distinct from the one that isn't hidden | Nov 18 09:52 |
MinceR | so it's a real config dialog, except for that it isn't | Nov 18 09:53 |
prurigro | one gives you full control over your environment, and this can break things if you're fiddling around without knowing what you're doing | Nov 18 09:53 |
MinceR | gnome used to be a lot more clueful than this | Nov 18 09:53 |
MinceR | back when they were copying kde, not macos | Nov 18 09:53 |
MinceR | if changing such settings can break things then that DE is not ready for release | Nov 18 09:54 |
prurigro | well I mean, keep in mind that the update almost doubled the user friendly config dialog | Nov 18 09:54 |
MinceR | couldn't be a difficult feat | Nov 18 09:54 |
prurigro | MinceR: go to about:config in firefox | Nov 18 09:54 |
prurigro | you can break things there | Nov 18 09:54 |
MinceR | firefox tends to hide less important settings than this | Nov 18 09:54 |
MinceR | except for the idiotic URL trimming thing | Nov 18 09:55 |
prurigro | well that said, gnome 3's control panel spot has all the stuff people complained about it lacking for the first release | Nov 18 09:56 |
prurigro | and they had told only the most advanced users to do the initial upgrade | Nov 18 09:56 |
MinceR | compare the preferences dialog in firefox to the preferences dialog in epiphany | Nov 18 09:56 |
prurigro | epiphany is useful for one reason imo, and this is testing webkit in linux | Nov 18 09:56 |
prurigro | when you're not in kde | Nov 18 09:57 |
MinceR | hopefully not | Nov 18 09:57 |
MinceR | they claim the new epiphany has site-specific browser functionality | Nov 18 09:57 |
prurigro | go on? | Nov 18 09:57 |
MinceR | that's about it | Nov 18 09:57 |
prurigro | what do you mean by site specific? | Nov 18 09:58 |
MinceR | i mean a process and window is dedicated to a particular web application, (in some cases) allowing it to deliver desktop notifications as well | Nov 18 09:58 |
prurigro | oh, that's fun | Nov 18 09:59 |
MinceR | not sure if epiphany will be able to do the notifications | Nov 18 09:59 |
prurigro | though firefox and chrome are going in that direction too no? | Nov 18 09:59 |
MinceR | i think they are | Nov 18 09:59 |
prurigro | tho epiphany would be more integrated I guess | Nov 18 09:59 |
MinceR | chrome does have the feature already but i don't trust chrome | Nov 18 09:59 |
prurigro | haha yea, I know what you mean | Nov 18 09:59 |
MinceR | firefox seems to be dragging its feet | Nov 18 09:59 |
prurigro | in what respect? | Nov 18 09:59 |
MinceR | they used to have prism/webrunner, but it won't work on 64bit | Nov 18 10:00 |
prurigro | what's this do? | Nov 18 10:00 |
MinceR | however they said something like they want to implement it in the main browser itself | Nov 18 10:00 |
prurigro | oh, like notification support? | Nov 18 10:00 |
MinceR | prism/webrunner did let a web app have a system tray applet | Nov 18 10:00 |
prurigro | oh fun | Nov 18 10:00 |
MinceR | firefox currently has "app tabs" which at least try to detect that something's going on in the web app, apparently | Nov 18 10:00 |
prurigro | they seem to be pushing the whole pin/unpin thing in both firefox and chrome | Nov 18 10:01 |
prurigro | I'm guessing its easier to maintain since its in their closed system | Nov 18 10:01 |
prurigro | yea | Nov 18 10:01 |
prurigro | I've actually started using them recently | Nov 18 10:01 |
MinceR | so this (horrible) webex connect thing can at least display i have new messages | Nov 18 10:01 |
prurigro | and they're pretty amazing minus a few weird refresh issues after a long time without visiting | Nov 18 10:01 |
MinceR | webex connect sucks horribly but i have to use it at work | Nov 18 10:01 |
prurigro | webex, hrm, yea, that jogs a memory cell as something in corporate | Nov 18 10:02 |
prurigro | one cool thing about app tabs, on that note | Nov 18 10:02 |
prurigro | is you can have your grouped tabs | Nov 18 10:03 |
prurigro | and swap between work flows | Nov 18 10:03 |
prurigro | yet the app tabs stay open | Nov 18 10:03 |
prurigro | though you can customize them between | Nov 18 10:03 |
prurigro | if you want | Nov 18 10:03 |
MinceR | yes, they stay visible even if i have lots of tabs | Nov 18 10:03 |

DaemonFC | "LALALA OUR SYSTEM IS SUPERIOR? KMS? WHATS THAT? WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!!" | Nov 18 20:03 |

DaemonFC | "YOU'RE BREAKING UP!!!! LALALA OUR STUFF IS FREEEEEEEEE!!!!" | Nov 18 20:03 |
DaemonFC | Apple gives stuff back, occasionally, wrapped in their own license | Nov 18 20:04 |
DaemonFC | FreeBSD can salvage some of it because they're not picky since their licensing terms are so non-existent | Nov 18 20:04 |
DaemonFC | it fails to produce a workable system obviously | Nov 18 20:04 |
DaemonFC | they're left reduced to picking through Apple's garbage for new stuff | Nov 18 20:05 |
DaemonFC | Just because Apple sometimes feels it's easier to "give back" because it's not important code and they don't want to pony up the dough to maintain it, is not a good argument in favor of the BSD license | Nov 18 20:06 |
MinceR | m$ also uses their stuff sometimes, and gives nothing back | Nov 18 20:06 |
DaemonFC | The fact that Apple managed to make anything at all out of FreeBSD surprises me | Nov 18 20:07 |
DaemonFC | I can't speak for how well a Mac works since my total experience with OS X since it has existed amounts to a couple of hours | Nov 18 20:08 |

DaemonFC | with one developer | Nov 18 20:09 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Nov 18 20:09 |
MinceR | so difficult dozens if not hundreds of people have done it in little wms they've made in their spare time | Nov 18 20:09 |
DaemonFC | right | Nov 18 20:10 |
DaemonFC | there's dozens of good window managers for X | Nov 18 20:10 |
DaemonFC | but Apple managed to get away with spreading FUD about X | Nov 18 20:10 |
DaemonFC | then reimplementing most of its features privately | Nov 18 20:10 |
DaemonFC | if they used X as the display server, it would make it easier to port software off of a Mac | Nov 18 20:11 |
DaemonFC | which is not their goal | Nov 18 20:11 |
DaemonFC | instead they run a rootless X server to make it easy to port things from free systems to the Mac | Nov 18 20:11 |
MinceR | it would also make their OS work better | Nov 18 20:12 |

cubezzz | Lirodon, unless you're running an IBM XT, or AT or a motherboard coreboot actually works on, you are running a closed source bios | Nov 18 22:21 |

schestowitz | another DE? | Nov 18 22:29 |
DaemonFC | later on he talks about them threatening him over that Warehouse 13 episode he torrented | Nov 18 22:29 |
Lirodon | schestowitz oh wait | Nov 18 22:29 |
DaemonFC | I replied | Nov 18 22:29 |
DaemonFC | You know, on the same line here. You are PAYING for a Sci Fi channel subscription with your cable TV bill. How is torrenting an episode of one of their shows you missed different than putting it on your DVR? | Nov 18 22:30 |
DaemonFC | Didn't we have the "industry" try to make the same arguments abotu VCRs and lose? | Nov 18 22:30 |
schestowitz | it's just JOBOS | Nov 18 22:30 |
Lirodon | I thought you were talking about virtual workspaces | Nov 18 22:30 |

DaemonFC | The truth is that a lot of people don't care. Apple's iTunes DRM store has taken over the mindshare of the less technically literate. As long is it is around, a lot of them won't know about Bittorrent at all or will continue to mindlessly regurgitate industry propaganda about why sharing information and helping your friends is bad, wrong, illegal. | Nov 18 22:32 |

*lenngray has quit (Client Quit) | Nov 18 22:33 | |
DaemonFC | yeah, I used that on XP at one point | Nov 18 22:33 |
DaemonFC | I almost never used Windows with Explorer as the shell | Nov 18 22:33 |
schestowitz | Lirodon: looks like some acadmic experiment | Nov 18 22:33 |
schestowitz | blackbox? | Nov 18 22:33 |
DaemonFC | so crude, bloated, buggy | Nov 18 22:33 |
schestowitz | I asked if Windows had decent shells | Nov 18 22:34 |
schestowitz | cause I'm not aware of any | Nov 18 22:34 |
DaemonFC | there are a few decent shells for Windows | Nov 18 22:34 |
schestowitz | kde for windows is called off | Nov 18 22:34 |
DaemonFC | not many, but there are some | Nov 18 22:34 |
DaemonFC | There's Litestep | Nov 18 22:34 |
Lirodon | schestowitz I've also seen a different file manager | Nov 18 22:34 |
schestowitz | ms used not to permit shells | Nov 18 22:34 |
schestowitz | in it's comes bs microsoft exhibits | Nov 18 22:34 |
DaemonFC | that was a favorite of mine around the time I used Windows 9x/NT5 (2000) | Nov 18 22:34 |
Lirodon | schestowitz that's not permitting shells ... when its being a logo certified OEM and stuff | Nov 18 22:34 |
cubezzz | well I guess there's always reactos | Nov 18 22:34 |
DaemonFC | Litestep is a very minimal shell | Nov 18 22:34 |
DaemonFC | it uses far fewer resources than Explorer | Nov 18 22:35 |
cubezzz | if you want to experiment | Nov 18 22:35 |
DaemonFC | it crashes a lot less | Nov 18 22:35 |
DaemonFC | it has fewer security problems | Nov 18 22:35 |
Lirodon | its more of a modular system with plugins and junk | Nov 18 22:35 |
DaemonFC | and many more features | Nov 18 22:35 |
DaemonFC | and iirc, it is GPL'd | Nov 18 22:35 |
DaemonFC | yes, it has plugins | Nov 18 22:35 |
DaemonFC | you can extend it | Nov 18 22:35 |
DaemonFC | if you can't do anything about Windows, you want to at least install a better shell and functional software to replace the useless crap it comes with | Nov 18 22:36 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: not much good doing a dent about that Mageia event really, already did one of those last night | Nov 18 22:36 |

DaemonFC | Safari is offering more Hell to a person in Hell | Nov 18 22:37 |
DaemonFC | Yo dawg, I heard you liked Hell on Hell, so I got you some Safari for your Windows | Nov 18 22:37 |
DaemonFC | there's not much software out there that succeeds in being even worse than its Microsoft counterpart | Nov 18 22:38 |
DaemonFC | Safari managed | Nov 18 22:38 |
DaemonFC | :) | Nov 18 22:38 |
DaemonFC | it's worse than IE 9 | Nov 18 22:38 |
DaemonFC | but just barely | Nov 18 22:38 |
Faither | i've seen people having it installed on their pcs because tey installed itunes and just always click on the next button xD | Nov 18 22:38 |
Faither | no one I know ever used it under windows though | Nov 18 22:39 |
Lirodon | safari on Windows is a joke. why would you want to when Chrome is superior | Nov 18 22:39 |
DaemonFC | here, lets install Quicktime Trialware (the Pro version costs $40) | Nov 18 22:39 |
DaemonFC | iTunes | Nov 18 22:39 |
DaemonFC | a buttload of non native UI toolkit libraries | Nov 18 22:39 |

DaemonFC | and a web browser you probably don't want | Nov 18 22:39 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Nov 18 22:39 |
Lirodon | my school board windows deployment just uses K-Lite and MPC | Nov 18 22:40 |
DaemonFC | now if you can actually start Windows when we're done, we've done something hideously wrong | Nov 18 22:40 |
DaemonFC | ;) | Nov 18 22:40 |
Faither | or the ask toolbar -.- | Nov 18 22:40 |
Faither | I see it on pretty much every winbols installation -.- | Nov 18 22:40 |
Faither | people don't read... | Nov 18 22:40 |
Lirodon | they use 64-bit Windows 7. IE9, but with Firefox 4 alongside it (cause they're afraid to admit its superior) | Nov 18 22:40 |
Faither | you can tell them they are selling their souls and they'll still just klick next and accept | Nov 18 22:41 |
Faither | why FF4? | Nov 18 22:41 |
Faither | If you upgrade to the cycle keep running along | Nov 18 22:41 |
Lirodon | that was the version it was at when they built the images | Nov 18 22:41 |
Faither | or use 3.6x | Nov 18 22:41 |
Lirodon | and websense wrecks the update system | Nov 18 22:42 |
Lirodon | cause it hijacks the https certificates | Nov 18 22:42 |
Lirodon | this is one of those enterprise problems the devs (who don't seem to care about implementing anything major in Firefox 4.0.6 | Nov 18 22:43 |
Lirodon | haven't quite settled on yet | Nov 18 22:43 |
DaemonFC | as soon as this metal platform is done upgrading | Nov 18 22:44 |
DaemonFC | I'm going to send all my forces on a suicide mission | Nov 18 22:44 |
Lirodon | is vmware considered evil here? | Nov 18 22:44 |
DaemonFC | to smash another player's metal platform so I can have enough resources to start the level 5 upgrade for my command center | Nov 18 22:44 |
Lirodon | cause I know they use vCenter for virtualization a lot there | Nov 18 22:44 |
Faither | because it's not meant to be used any more as it's the first release in the new release cycle?! | Nov 18 22:44 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Nov 18 22:44 |
DaemonFC | strategy | Nov 18 22:45 |
Faither | -.-' | Nov 18 22:45 |
DaemonFC | it doesn't involve sending your forces to their deaths for no objective | Nov 18 22:45 |
DaemonFC | it does involve minimizing losses while maximizing damage inflicted on the enemy B-) | Nov 18 22:45 |
DaemonFC | I've developed a supply raid tactic that works well enough | Nov 18 22:46 |
DaemonFC | bunch of rocket buggies | Nov 18 22:47 |
DaemonFC | send them after a resource platform | Nov 18 22:47 |
DaemonFC | they'll be destroyed but not until they've all launched their first salvo of rockets at the platform, destroying it | Nov 18 22:47 |
DaemonFC | bonus, they're cheap ;) | Nov 18 22:47 |
DaemonFC | if you keep hitting other players like that, you'll never be low on resources | Nov 18 22:48 |
DaemonFC | while they end up having to pay money via facebook credits to replace the reserves you have stolen B-) | Nov 18 22:48 |
DaemonFC | I manage to get away with playing the game for free because I'm more of a bastard than most people | Nov 18 22:48 |
DaemonFC | though I made a minor miscalculation earlier and ended up not quite destroying a metal platform, so I ended up deciding to send in some drones knowing a lot of them would be shot down, to finish it | Nov 18 22:49 |
DaemonFC | I still ended up ahead :D | Nov 18 22:49 |
