schestowitzDear Roy,May 14 10:57
schestowitzThis is something I've wanted to get out for a while, but I've never known exactly what to say, until now. It's important that I say it to you.May 14 10:57
schestowitzI'm sorry. I was one of the really obnoxious people from Linsux, back in the day, and I was one of the people that gave you a hard time for no real reason at all. Frankly, I acted like a total dick, and what I was doing was completely unwarranted.May 14 10:57
schestowitzI know it was quite a long time ago, and people can change quite a lot in short increments of time, but I wanted to let you know that for whatever grief I may have caused, I am terribly sorry. I lacked a lot of sensibility and maturity back then.May 14 10:57
schestowitzI just want you to know that I have a great deal of respect for what you do with TechRights. Keep doing what you're doing.May 14 10:57
schestowitzBest, -SeanMay 14 10:57

schestowitzI gave my forgiveness a long time ago. At the time, especially around 07/08, people were daemonising me especially because they needed to incite people against the messenger. These days I know how to better avoid those characterizations (or character assassinations).May 14 10:59

MinceRif being a "hater" is bad, then they're guilty of being "hater"s of TechRightsMay 14 11:03
schestowitz"posted some comments on their forum - would be great if this magazine, beyond polishing some graphic design (grid systems, a simpler type (ofl if possible) and colour stylesheet), getting back those pages with snippets like we found on magazines from 80's, about python-pygame, shoebot, sdlBasic, Lua, proce55ing, etc. - kids at school will love them, and wanting to be part of! :)" https://joindiaspora.com/posts/1610757May 14 11:03

MinceRit's either that or they'll have to admit that this "reasoning" of theirs is bullshitMay 14 11:04
oiaohmschestowitz: really some of them would be MS PR idiots.May 14 11:34

schestowitzAs you can tell by the shutdown issues, over the past 2 days I've had a familiar issue returning - spontaneous shutdown which log files do not seem to shed much light on, although I suspected it was ntp-related (due to me adding it when it started happening) or GPU-related. I've begun looking at the possibility of buying a new computer to join this cluster (with  monitors perhaps), but will continue to investigate the current May 14 19:45
schestowitzproblem too.May 14 19:45

XFaCEqu1j0t3: any updatesMay 14 20:29
schestowitzMinceR: "Gay marriage is actually the wrong answer to a true problem. I do not mean gays should not be able to get married : what I mean is the State should not ever know what's inside your pants and what you're doing with it. I'm going to write something about it on my blog, but that's a measure defended by many pirates around the world." https://joindiaspora.com/posts/1611875May 14 20:41

schestowitz"Evolved my ass. He did it to get re-elected. Just another politician."May 14 20:41
qu1j0t3schestowitz: i am not at all sure he will be re-elected.May 14 20:42
qu1j0t3schestowitz: the polls are only 2% apart. i predicted a cliff-hanger and looks like we'll get one. May 14 20:42
qu1j0t3schestowitz: I believe the GOP will be returned, as in 2000 and potentially with similar drama.May 14 20:42
qu1j0t3schestowitz: also, i am not convinced the gay marriage thing is a net gain for DemocratsMay 14 20:43
qu1j0t3schestowitz: stupid remains the most common element south of hereMay 14 20:43
XFaCEqu1j0t3: The GOP could win if this "I won't vote for anything" trend continuesMay 14 20:46
qu1j0t3they are obsessed with manipulating voter turnoutMay 14 20:46
qu1j0t3it's what they did in 2000 and 2004 May 14 20:46
qu1j0t3they're constantly disenfranchising and tweaking voter groupsMay 14 20:47
qu1j0t3same as harperMay 14 20:47
qu1j0t3cuz they sure can't win on ideasMay 14 20:47
qu1j0t3:)May 14 20:47
qu1j0t3hence robocallMay 14 20:47
MinceRschestowitz: imo the state should not do anything with the idea of marriageMay 14 20:52
MinceRif people want to do something and call it marriage, it should be their own businessMay 14 20:52
schestowitzI think it's more of a church thingMay 14 21:00
qu1j0t3rightMay 14 21:00
schestowitzI'm getting married this year, but Civil CeremonyMay 14 21:00
qu1j0t3if you remove state and church definitions of marriage then you have ANARCHY!May 14 21:00
qu1j0t3the teapot can marry the cat!May 14 21:00
qu1j0t3SOCIETY WILL GO TO HELLMay 14 21:00
qu1j0t3what's that you say? it already did????May 14 21:00
schestowitzI think it's a social conformance thing to be officially married, when you leave aside all the "bullshit" (as my friends call it) with throwing a bit expensive party - consumerismMay 14 21:00
qu1j0t3yes, it's a tribal thingMay 14 21:01
qu1j0t3ritualMay 14 21:01
qu1j0t3all rather annoying.May 14 21:01
qu1j0t3i don't know why you'd do it :)May 14 21:01
schestowitzwhat?May 14 21:01
qu1j0t3get married! i mean why?May 14 21:01
schestowitzthe party thing?May 14 21:01
qu1j0t3no, the whole schemozzleMay 14 21:01
schestowitzlet's ask the opposite - what's the drawback?May 14 21:01
qu1j0t3supporting meaningless institutions :)May 14 21:02
qu1j0t3given the choice, i'd rather ignore the institution, because i think it's healthier for society to do so.May 14 21:02
schestowitzIn this case the institutions are lawyersMay 14 21:04
schestowitznot religiousMay 14 21:04
qu1j0t3i know, it's mutatedMay 14 21:06
qu1j0t3the whole thing turns me offMay 14 21:06
qu1j0t3like circumcisionMay 14 21:06
schestowitzYou got married to your current, right?May 14 21:06
schestowitzthe "exit barrier" thingMay 14 21:07
qu1j0t3yes. not exactly our choice.May 14 21:16
qu1j0t3but it's done now.May 14 21:16
qu1j0t3i'm really just saying that in absence of all other factors i'd prefer not.May 14 21:16
qu1j0t3she wouldn't agree though,. she believes it's significantMay 14 21:17
qu1j0t3in and of itself, as a symbolMay 14 21:17
qu1j0t3i guessMay 14 21:17
qu1j0t3schestowitz: so in a way, having it done with may have avoided a conflict :)May 14 21:17
qu1j0t3schestowitz: my dad re-married for similar reasons. "made the paperwork easier"May 14 21:17
schestowitzagreedMay 14 21:25
qu1j0t3he certainly would never have done it for sentimental/cultural reasonsMay 14 21:27
