DaemonFC | msb_, That's ridiculous. | May 18 03:23 |
DaemonFC | Mega doses of vitamins can be dangerous and are at least a waste of money. | May 18 03:23 |
DaemonFC | Secondly, you can still walk into any Walmart and buy as much vitamin C as you want. | May 18 03:24 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Mammals of human body weight create about 70 grams of vitamin C per day when they have a serious viral infection. So 10-20 g/day is not a "mega dose". | May 18 03:25 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: I was told some years ago that it's now impossible to buy therapeutic quantities of vitamins in some nations (perhaps Germany). There you can only get bottles of 200mg pills. | May 18 03:27 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: The suggested doses of C are harmless. | May 18 03:28 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: You might read the references I gave. | May 18 03:28 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: IIRC, there may be something like 1% of the population that converts C to oxalate in unusually large amounts and may get more Ca oxalate kidney stones from large doses of C. These people already get oxalate stones. In everyone else the conversion is rate-limited at the enzyme, and the amount of oxalate produced is not increased no matter how much C is ingested. | May 18 03:37 |

msb_ | But that kind of tolerance, while it would work in a small town where people know and understand one another, is not sufficient for larger systems like nations and the world. | May 18 18:49 |
msb_ | The problem is *psychopaths*. | May 18 18:49 |
msb_ | Psychopaths have no empathy nor conscience, and many of them *enjoy* harming others and making them suffer. | May 18 18:50 |

msb_ | That's very strong. | May 18 18:53 |
msb_ | The word "psycho" confuses "psychopath" with "psychotic". It should not be used. Psychotics are delusional and can be easily recognized. | May 18 18:54 |

DaemonFC | I was discussing DRM on #ubuntu-offtopic. | May 19 00:33 |
DaemonFC | Me: dwatkins, If nothing else, you can take your webcam/cell phone/camcorder/etc and point it at the screen. | May 19 00:33 |
DaemonFC | So, to even pretend that this crap works is just totally stupid, but that's how companies think. | May 19 00:33 |
DaemonFC | Well, Apple took out a patent on recognizing copyrighted material and disabling your iPhone camera a while back. | May 19 00:33 |
DaemonFC | I don't know if the iPhone currently does that, but since there's software updates, any malicious thing it's not doing now could be added later. | May 19 00:33 |
DaemonFC | Like iBeacon was. The hardware was there in iPhone 4, just dormant. | May 19 00:33 |
DaemonFC | It's not too hard to imagine the police sending a signal to shut off your iPhone camera while they're beating you up. It saves them from having to delete the video later, and possibly have the user recover it from the file system. | May 19 00:33 |
DaemonFC | Well, and people being how they are, which is utterly depressing, will accept that abuse the day it arrives. | May 19 00:35 |
DaemonFC | And some will even try to make excuses for a device that is disobeying the owner in even more horrible ways. | May 19 00:35 |

Sosumi | well at least he didn't stuff his arss with it | May 19 13:32 |
Sosumi | or just didn't put pictures of himself doing that | May 19 13:33 |
Sosumi | but there is simply no reason to buy a macpro now | May 19 13:36 |
Sosumi | for example | May 19 13:36 |
Sosumi | the D700 firepros on the trashcan (rebranded underclocked 7970) score 3781 on luxmark | May 19 13:37 |
Sosumi | while two 290x score 5058 | May 19 13:38 |
Sosumi | so, whoever goes with the apple option | May 19 13:39 |
Sosumi | you're just overpaying for underclocked hardware | May 19 13:40 |
Sosumi | and now | May 19 13:40 |
Sosumi | outdated gpus | May 19 13:40 |
Sosumi | and that is why the last mac pro tower | May 19 13:42 |
Sosumi | can beat the trashcan | May 19 13:42 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | systemd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [ http://ur1.ca/hcn2x ] | May 20 09:27 | |
MinceR | yeah, unfortunately | May 20 09:28 |
Snowleaksange | tell those kids to stay off my init.d lawn :) | May 20 09:30 |
msb_ | The cgroups system, which systemd uses, creates groups of processes, each subject to resource limitations and (if desired) collection of information for billing purposes. Apparently the previous system of each process having a unique ID (PID) is abandoned. | May 20 09:46 |
msb_ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups | May 20 09:46 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | cgroups - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | May 20 09:46 | |
MinceR | afaik PIDs are still there | May 20 09:48 |
MinceR | but some new controls are based on cgroups | May 20 09:48 |
msb_ | Then there's KDE4, far more complex than KDE3, but it doesn't give you 20 virtual desktops whose names you can see in the switcher applet so you could switch between desktops rapidly. Multiple desktops to give you separate uncluttered workspaces for your various different activities was one of the great advantages of Linux. Still is, if you use KDE3 or Trinity. | May 20 09:50 |
msb_ | systemd, cgroups, and KDE4 all seem to be governed by the principle that software must continually be "improved", even if that means increase in complexity, and decrease in ease of use. And decrease in people's ability to understand it and fix problems. | May 20 09:58 |
MinceR | also, increasing monolithicity | May 20 09:59 |
msb_ | Yes! | May 20 09:59 |
msb_ | These particular "improvements" -- which show no signs of ever ending -- are like uncontrollable cancers growing on what used to be a simple healthy organism. | May 20 10:01 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Are you there? This is right up your alley! | May 20 10:02 |
msb_ | What happened to the principles of "Keep it simple, stupid" and "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" ? | May 20 10:04 |
Snowleaksange | i just wrote a terminal. now working browser. maybe someday xwm or whole os | May 20 10:05 |
MinceR | :) | May 20 10:05 |
msb_ | Snowleaksange: Good for you! Do these have better security or something? | May 20 10:06 |
Snowleaksange | in some interpretations | May 20 10:06 |
Snowleaksange | its way less lines of source code than alternatives | May 20 10:06 |
msb_ | Nice. | May 20 10:07 |
msb_ | It's fun to write software. But it's not nice to jam it into GNU/Linux if it's not necessary. | May 20 10:09 |
Snowleaksange | it also fetches image links for mouse over image rendering (faster than clicking on clickable url) | May 20 10:10 |
Snowleaksange | probably saves... minutes a day if you visit a lot of image links, which someties i do on chat rooms | May 20 10:10 |
msb_ | On the other hand, some web pages are getting very annoying by doing pop-ups just from moving the cursor over something, without pressing any buttons. Often hides the link you were trying to click on. | May 20 10:12 |
msb_ | IMDB is now doing this. | May 20 10:13 |
msb_ | And I have popup windows blocked in firefox preferences. | May 20 10:14 |
msb_ | I think amazon does it too. | May 20 10:14 |
msb_ | Snowleaksange: Not to detract from your work. I'd just want it switchable. | May 20 10:17 |
msb_ | There are a lot of pages now with popups telling you to inform facebook, tweeter (?), and other social sites about their content. Some of these *hide* the content until you click on an "x" in the corner. | May 20 10:19 |

cubezzz | msb_, what's that? | May 20 17:58 |
cubezzz | well I talked about Unix philosophy | May 20 17:58 |
cubezzz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/unix-philosophy.txt | May 20 17:59 |
cubezzz | most distros have diverged from that a fair amount | May 20 17:59 |
cubezzz | "Avoid captive user interfaces" | May 20 18:01 |
cubezzz | you've got a generation of *nix folks that don't understand the actual underpinnings of the os | May 20 18:05 |
cubezzz | the KDE4 stuff is just poor, I'm not even going to talk about that | May 20 18:07 |
cubezzz | the first diversion was System V versus BSD | May 20 18:09 |
cubezzz | sockets vs streams, tty vs termio | May 20 18:10 |
*freedomrun has quit (Quit: So long and thanks for all the fish.) | May 20 18:10 | |
cubezzz | in 1998 there was a confidential memo from Microsoft which stated "Linux is on track to eventually own the x86 Unix market" | May 20 18:13 |
cubezzz | so the SVR4 versions of Unix become far less important | May 20 18:14 |
cubezzz | if you want solaris style then there's opensxce | May 20 18:15 |
cubezzz | ok, so to summarize, these are the operating systems that currently have available source code: | May 20 18:19 |
cubezzz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/os-with-source-code.txt | May 20 18:19 |
msb_ | cubezzz: I was specifically talking about systemd, cgroups, and KDE4. With systemd controlling the entire Linux system, taking over the functions of a dozen or more previous separate programs, and keeping its log in binary. | May 20 18:20 |
msb_ | Rather than go back to a much different system like Solaris, it seems to me that just eliminating systemd and KDE4 (or making them optional) would be a good way for a distro to go. | May 20 18:22 |
cubezzz | right, but my point was that these sorts of diversions have occurred before | May 20 18:23 |
cubezzz | I think in Linux you'll always have choices | May 20 18:24 |
msb_ | Yes, but those were years ago and we've gotten used to the additional complications. | May 20 18:24 |
msb_ | Even udev, which does allow you to move disks between ports, or make them plug-in, and keep their same mountpoints in the file system, if I understand correctly. | May 20 18:25 |
*liberty_back has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | May 20 18:25 | |

msb_ | So far, OpenSuse is still making KDE3 available, and if it doesn't, Trinity seems to be working well for various distros. | May 20 18:26 |
msb_ | I don't know if the KDE4 devs will perversely make their apps stop working with KDE3. | May 20 18:27 |
msb_ | I don't know how much hell cgroups causes, or if it can be dialled down to the standard 32K array of PIDs. | May 20 18:28 |
msb_ | If it can, then the remaining problem is systemd, which a lot of people are objecting to, and which severely violates numerous principles of Unix Philosophy. | May 20 18:30 |
cubezzz | exactly so | May 20 18:30 |
cubezzz | there's CentOS 6, that's got a trinity version | May 20 18:31 |
cubezzz | this is the reason I run old software in tandem with newer distros | May 20 18:32 |
cubezzz | gives one a different perspective | May 20 18:32 |
msb_ | Trinity is available for lots of popular distros: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/ | May 20 18:33 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.trinitydesktop.org | Trinity Desktop Environment | May 20 18:33 | |
cubezzz | hardly anyone runs the Thompson shell but the neat thing is you still can :) | May 20 18:34 |
msb_ | For firing commands rapidly? | May 20 18:35 |
cubezzz | it had one big advantage | May 20 18:36 |
cubezzz | it used less memory than all the other shells | May 20 18:36 |
msb_ | Yes, with source code, and the ability to compile it, and bring in particular libraries -- even old versions of them -- Unix/Linux has a lot of flexibility. | May 20 18:37 |
cubezzz | there used to be a 2^18 addressing limit | May 20 18:37 |
msb_ | Was that from PDP-6 and -10 ? | May 20 18:38 |
cubezzz | PDP-11/40, not sure about PDP-10 off the top of my head | May 20 18:39 |
cubezzz | PDP-7 was the original Unix box | May 20 18:39 |
msb_ | IIRC it had 36-bit words. | May 20 18:39 |
msb_ | Now with single-board-computers able to run Linux for less than $50, small memory size for various softwares could be very useful. | May 20 18:42 |
cubezzz | there's ELKS if you want really really small linux | May 20 18:42 |
cubezzz | just discovered it yesterday :) | May 20 18:42 |
cubezzz | you _had_ to be efficient on the PDP-7 | May 20 18:43 |
cubezzz | my understanding is about Unix is it went like this: | May 20 18:45 |
cubezzz | PDP-7, PDP-11/20, PDP-11/40, PDP-11/45, PDP-11/70 | May 20 18:45 |
msb_ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embeddable_Linux_Kernel_Subset | May 20 18:45 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [ http://ur1.ca/hcp52 ] | May 20 18:45 | |
cubezzz | then v7 was ported to Vax | May 20 18:45 |
msb_ | It looks like ELKS can even run without a memory manager. | May 20 18:46 |
cubezzz | yes, it can run on plain ol' 8086 | May 20 18:46 |
msb_ | The IBM-PC shall rise again! | May 20 18:47 |
cubezzz | PDP-11/45 introduced the MMU I think | May 20 18:48 |
cubezzz | but the PDP-11/40 had a simpler MMU, so I guess that could be the first | May 20 18:49 |
msb_ | Well, that gives hope that even after the Apocalypse, when all semiconductors have been fried, we can still run Linux on 12AX7s. | May 20 18:49 |
cubezzz | PDP-11/10 was interesting: no BIOS or boot rom :) | May 20 18:50 |
msb_ | And, of course, CRTs. | May 20 18:50 |
msb_ | How'd it get started? | May 20 18:50 |
cubezzz | toggle in the bootstrap loader from the front panel | May 20 18:50 |
msb_ | Console switches and paper tape? | May 20 18:50 |
msb_ | Ah, those were the good old days! | May 20 18:51 |
cubezzz | you probably had to toggle stuff in before you could use paper tape | May 20 18:51 |
msb_ | When it was important that console switches had smooth edges to avoid finger abrasion. | May 20 18:51 |
cubezzz | so with the 2^18 limit you had 256K of memory | May 20 18:52 |
msb_ | That should be plenty for anybody. | May 20 18:53 |
cubezzz | well, no giant memory hole for the display :) | May 20 18:53 |
msb_ | Hopefully it had its own address space. | May 20 18:53 |
cubezzz | well they used the DZ11 asynchronous multiplexer with RS232 terminals | May 20 18:55 |
cubezzz | no frame buffer as such | May 20 18:55 |
cubezzz | this is PDP-11/45 Unibus, the original Unix v7 machine | May 20 18:56 |
msb_ | But with a frame buffer you could have 512x256x16bit video, pretty much NTSC quality (if i'm figuring correctly). That | May 20 18:57 |
msb_ | 's adequate for movies. | May 20 18:57 |
msb_ | Although not ideal. | May 20 18:57 |
cubezzz | sure, fine for 4:3 movies :) | May 20 18:57 |
*abeNd-org has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | May 20 18:58 | |
cubezzz | actually on Q22-bus you could have 1024x864 | May 20 18:59 |
msb_ | When we tell our grandchildren around the campfire about 1920x1080 x264s, they'll just think we're making it up. | May 20 19:00 |
cubezzz | you could run that on PDP 11/83 | May 20 19:01 |
cubezzz | older stuff like PDP-11/45 I don't think there was any way to even have a frame buffer | May 20 19:02 |
cubezzz | there were "intelligent terminals" | May 20 19:04 |
cubezzz | give it another 20 years and kids won't know what a CRT was :) | May 20 19:07 |
msb_ | Have you seen the wonderful "Quarantine" episode of 1985 Twilight zone? All about alternate technologies. It's in 3 parts on youtube, starting here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcQTicO-alU | May 20 19:08 |

cubezzz | in 1986 there was still a few ads | May 20 19:09 |
msb_ | Replaced by PC-DOS. | May 20 19:09 |

abeNd-org | which one? | May 20 19:13 |
cubezzz | msb_, yes I'm studying the late 80s era, it's interesting | May 20 19:13 |
msb_ | CRTs were displays you could *fix*, if you had a schematic and and oscilloscope. Instead of just throwing them away and buying another. | May 20 19:13 |
msb_ | Of course they could also give you a hernia. | May 20 19:13 |
cubezzz | you still have some CRTs I presume? | May 20 19:14 |

cubezzz | it will be interesting to see if LCD's can last as long as a CRT | May 20 19:18 |
msb_ | I even gave away my first flat-screen, a Sony which I'd gotten cheap because the owners had hooked up the cables wrong and the colors were messed up. But it was very heavy. | May 20 19:18 |

cubezzz | MinceR, my 14" one for amiga is still working | May 20 19:19 |

MinceR | the best crt i had broke long ago | May 20 19:19 |
MinceR | that's when i bought my first lcd monitor | May 20 19:19 |
msb_ | Maybe 5 years of continuous operation, until they got too dim. Unless something else went wrong with them. | May 20 19:19 |
MinceR | cubezzz: how often do you use it? | May 20 19:20 |
abeNd-org | i still have a pair of 20" dell, the first ones they came out with, still going strong | May 20 19:20 |

cubezzz | nowadays it's maybe a couple of hours per month | May 20 19:21 |
cubezzz | when EGA came out I used the amiga less | May 20 19:21 |
cubezzz | yeah a quality CRT should last a while | May 20 19:27 |
msb_ | I wonder if ceramic vacuum-tube triode wafers could be made with photolithography. Layers for cathodes, grids, and anodes, and a couple for interconnects. If they would work with cold cathodes, they wouldn't have to be heated. But I guess that requires high voltage. | May 20 19:27 |
msb_ | Are there semiconductor cathodes that emit electrons into a vacuum? | May 20 19:29 |
msb_ | You could get hundreds of tiny triodes onto a 4" wafer stack. Equal to several MSI chips. We could build a PDP-11! | May 20 19:33 |
msb_ | Immune to EMPs! | May 20 19:34 |
cubezzz | what about the core memory? | May 20 19:35 |
cubezzz | wouldn't the EMP mess it up? | May 20 19:35 |
msb_ | Only temporarily. | May 20 19:35 |
msb_ | Just have to reset it all. | May 20 19:36 |
msb_ | I meant that an EMP wouldn't destroy it, not that it could keep running through one. | May 20 19:36 |
msb_ | I don't know if those teensy triodes could carry enough current to switch cores, though. | May 20 19:37 |

DaemonFC | Apparently, Huntington has a boil advisory on the water, because human and animal feces has contaminated the source. | May 20 20:00 |
DaemonFC | The utility worker said that it had been going on for 12 days and nobody had gotten around to telling us out here until now. | May 20 20:00 |
DaemonFC | I said, "It probably took them 12 days to notice because Huntington water tastes like shit, year round.". | May 20 20:00 |

_Goblin | Signs then... | May 20 20:09 |
_Goblin | Stupid aliens.. | May 20 20:09 |

DaemonFC | Signs: "We are aliens who die when exposed to water, so let us try to conquer a planets that's more than two thirds water, where it rains water, and has water vapor in the atmosphere, bwahahahaha!" | May 20 20:13 |
_Goblin | The wicked witch of the west had a weakness to water.......maybe related? | May 20 20:14 |

msb_ | Crop circles. | May 20 20:17 |
_Goblin | msb_: the inference was religious interpretation... | May 20 20:17 |
_Goblin | And the crop circle was effectively the 666 the number of the beast and all that. | May 20 20:18 |
_Goblin | I'm surprised how many people merely thought this was just a crap alien movie. | May 20 20:18 |

_Goblin | Ok...I think we'll agree to differ on that... | May 20 20:21 |
_Goblin | I don't buy into movies and I'm not the movie buff..... That signs was an obvious piece of religious suck-up was blatant to me....if you saw it as Aliens then fine. | May 20 20:22 |

sebsebseb | ,but most computers that is not the case, and so replaceing the bios with coreboot is like taking software freedom to the extreame realy?l | May 20 21:01 |
msb_ | sebsebseb: Nope. No reason to. Not UEFI. | May 20 21:01 |
sebsebseb | if it goes wrong the computer won't work, it's not like if a OS install goeswrong so what, make a new partion table start over | May 20 21:01 |
sebsebseb | msb_: what's that? | May 20 21:01 |
sebsebseb | oh your saying no reason to use core boot | May 20 21:01 |
sebsebseb | since it won't do uefi ? | May 20 21:01 |
cubezzz | sebsebseb, if you're developing you need a flash writer | May 20 21:01 |
cubezzz | and socketed bios | May 20 21:02 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: flash write,r for the bios /? | May 20 21:02 |
cubezzz | just glue push-pins on the chip so you can remove it easily | May 20 21:02 |
msb_ | UEFI is the new bios system MS is pushing that prevents any OS other than the one specified by the mfr (Windows) from running. | May 20 21:02 |
sebsebseb | mfr? mbr? | May 20 21:03 |
msb_ | MS wants UEFI to kill Linux. | May 20 21:03 |
cubezzz | there's chromebooks and lemote, both have bios source code | May 20 21:03 |
msb_ | mfr - manufacturer | May 20 21:03 |
sebsebseb | msb_: right, but your saying core boot won't support UEFI ? | May 20 21:03 |
sebsebseb | anyway let's say someone puts on a 100% free software distro, since they want compelte freedom, right ok | May 20 21:03 |
cubezzz | there's an open source implementation of UEFI :) | May 20 21:04 |
sebsebseb | or pretty much complete freedom | May 20 21:04 |
cubezzz | it's called TianoCore | May 20 21:04 |
sebsebseb | it seems to me that then replaceing the bios with coreboot is like taking everything to the next level | May 20 21:04 |
amarsh04 | restart time, rebuilt a new kernel after Linus Torvalds returned from his week off and posted a relatively small lot updates | May 20 21:04 |
msb_ | sebsebseb: I suppose it will, but A. I don't need UEFI and B. my presne bios works fine, so I'm not gonna fuck with it. | May 20 21:04 |
sebsebseb | isn't it good enough running a 100% free OS? why o the bios as well? why go to the next level seriosuly? | May 20 21:04 |
sebsebseb | why mess with the bios, when you know your computer can go quite wrong if it messes up/? | May 20 21:04 |
*amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | May 20 21:05 | |
sebsebseb | why not leave it as the propritar bios? when got those concerns, but no those that really do want compelte freedom will replace the bios to or try to | May 20 21:05 |
cubezzz | socketed bios can be re-programmed | May 20 21:05 |
*_Goblin has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | May 20 21:05 | |
sebsebseb | and I think that may e taking software freedom to the extreame | May 20 21:05 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: what do you mean by socketed bios? | May 20 21:05 |

sebsebseb | hmm reay no MinceR ?l | May 20 21:06 |
cubezzz | so you can removed it, replace it | May 20 21:06 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: the like haing two bios's thin or whatever osmeone said to me beore | May 20 21:06 |
sebsebseb | so if it goes wrong installing core boot | May 20 21:06 |
sebsebseb | still got a bios? | May 20 21:07 |
cubezzz | no | May 20 21:07 |
cubezzz | you take it out and reprogram it when necessary | May 20 21:07 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: huh? | May 20 21:07 |
schestowitz__ | https://joindiaspora.com/posts/4121449 | May 20 21:07 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: or you take it out and install core boot if you want to, is that you mean? | May 20 21:07 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: I most honestly like @JonoBacon but what if I could offer improvement to his approach, it would be reduction of hypocrisy. #openrespect | May 20 21:07 | |
schestowitz__ | "I don't care for Canonical and Ubuntu, as it breaks FLOSS. Ergo: don't care for Jono Bacon. BTW yes, we're all grown up here, but his name and surname makes me wanna laugh everytime I hear it. PS sorry Jono Bacon. Didn't want to be rude or whatever. I'm sure you're a nice man and stuff." | May 20 21:07 |
cubezzz | sebsebseb, if you want to try coreboot the easy way is to buy a chromebook | May 20 21:08 |
cubezzz | it's a lot of work understanding the motherboard well enough to add coreboot if it's not supported | May 20 21:08 |
msb_ | sebsebseb: I use what works best. The nvidia driver works well and has a nice adjuster. Flash is shit but lots of websites use it. | May 20 21:08 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: ok the easy way, but those who want complete freedom on their standard non chromebook or lemote, I guess may try andinstall it on there replaceing the propritary bios? and I am saying that's taking software freedom to the extremae really? | May 20 21:09 |
sebsebseb | why mess with something as valuble as the bios realy, most people woudn't, but those who want complete freedom, oh yeah they may | May 20 21:09 |
cubezzz | no, I would't say it's extreme | May 20 21:09 |
*amarsh04 (~amarsh04@2001:44b8:61::d) has joined #techrights | May 20 21:09 | |
cubezzz | building your own computer from stratch, that's extreme :) | May 20 21:09 |
sebsebseb | I mean the averaege computer user who likes free software won't touch the bios probaby | May 20 21:09 |
cubezzz | well there are firmware updates | May 20 21:10 |
sebsebseb | those running a 100% free software distro, probably most won't replace the propritary bios on the machine as well, or try to with a free one | May 20 21:10 |
cubezzz | FSF does | May 20 21:10 |
cubezzz | they run coreboot | May 20 21:10 |
sebsebseb | yes those really into software freedom wll try and replace the bios lie I just said | May 20 21:10 |
sebsebseb | ,but everyone else uh no | May 20 21:10 |
sebsebseb | and that's my point | May 20 21:10 |
sebsebseb | those who are so sucked into sofftware freedom, but the reset well no | May 20 21:11 |
cubezzz | I'd rather know what it's doing | May 20 21:11 |
sebsebseb | well sure, but my point is most computer users won't take things to the next level by trying to replace the propritary bios with a free one | May 20 21:11 |
amarsh04 | I think that coreboot is worthwhile... just wish that I could get hold of a decent motherboard that supported it | May 20 21:11 |
sebsebseb | ,because they will beworriedit goes wrong and computer ismsesed up, and they know it's not like doing a OS, for those that even try | May 20 21:12 |
sebsebseb | or want to | May 20 21:12 |
cubezzz | I've botched coreboot up many times | May 20 21:12 |
sebsebseb | It's a good project sure, but it's not one for most LInux users at the moment, and that's my point | May 20 21:12 |
cubezzz | until I learned enough to get it working | May 20 21:12 |
amarsh04 | motherboards that incorporate a dual bios arrangement would be a good start | May 20 21:12 |
sebsebseb | most LInux users would be to scared to even try installing core boot replaceing the propritary bios of the computer | May 20 21:12 |
sebsebseb | ,but those into software freedom enough, oh they will be doingit sure, and that's my point | May 20 21:13 |
sebsebseb | ,but as one of the people who won't even try and replace the bios at the moment, I think it's like taking things to the next level trying to do that | May 20 21:13 |
sebsebseb | get me now? | May 20 21:13 |
abeNd-org | msb_ the current system we use is cassie from http://www.librarica.com/, it integrates fully into the opensource evergreen ILS (library database, all the materials & library cards), it allows the patrons to log into the computer using their library card as the userid, they can reserve computers if they want to, etc | May 20 21:13 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.librarica.com | CASSIE and SPOT - Public Computer and Printer Management | May 20 21:14 | |
amarsh04 | one would need to be running more than one machine, but that's what I'm doing already - having 2 machines is great for getting out of sticky situations | May 20 21:14 |
sebsebseb | most people don't care enough about the bios to try and replace it with a free one, that's another point I am pmaking | May 20 21:14 |
amarsh04 | and if I get a new machine I'd try to get something that supported coreboot and get that running on it first | May 20 21:14 |
sebsebseb | ,but those who care enough, generally care so much about software freedom, that they aren't the average free software user | May 20 21:14 |
cubezzz | it's not just coreboot | May 20 21:15 |
amarsh04 | I haven't caught up with efi yet | May 20 21:15 |
abeNd-org | im sure most would be willing to flash their linksys router with ddwrt, but not their computer's bios with something opensource | May 20 21:15 |
cubezzz | Sun had openboot | May 20 21:15 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: bingo that's the point I am making | May 20 21:15 |
cubezzz | PDP's had open firmware too | May 20 21:15 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: ,but why and so on and uh | May 20 21:15 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: they will switch to a LINUX DISTRO, they may do the router, but the bios wil be left alone | May 20 21:15 |
sebsebseb | only those who are really into this kindof stuff, even try and change the bio | May 20 21:16 |
sebsebseb | s | May 20 21:16 |
sebsebseb | and everyone else no | May 20 21:16 |
abeNd-org | sebsebseb: vendor support, you do that to your nice dell desktop/laptop & you have voided all warranty, even hardrive/etc, but no one cares about voiding the warranty on a linksys router with ddwrt | May 20 21:16 |
sebsebseb | just like only usually those who really care so much about the ethics of software freedom run 100% free softare LInuxdistro | May 20 21:16 |
sebsebseb | no flash no this nad that, everyone else, well things like FLash they will install basially and yeah | May 20 21:17 |
cubezzz | also... | May 20 21:17 |
cubezzz | OPLC has open firmware | May 20 21:17 |
cubezzz | I'm sure I could name more examples | May 20 21:17 |
cubezzz | IBM power... | May 20 21:17 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: cubezzz and only those who care so much about it, correct people usauly wnen they say LInux, and they are like no it's GNU/Linux | May 20 21:17 |
abeNd-org | besides, ive not had issues running SuSE on my dell servers, even with the latest bios updates, so i dont see how that is stopping linux on the server side | May 20 21:18 |
cubezzz | but I don't say that sebsebseb | May 20 21:18 |
cubezzz | I run a bunch of different OSes | May 20 21:18 |
sebsebseb | some people care so much about all this that, they are obbssed with it | May 20 21:18 |
sebsebseb | NO it mst be GNU | May 20 21:18 |
sebsebseb | no LInuxwithout the GNU | May 20 21:18 |
sebsebseb | oh geez no don't run a propiray bios, must be core boot | May 20 21:18 |
cubezzz | strawman argument | May 20 21:19 |
sebsebseb | no no running WIndows is so bad, no no Mac is so bad | May 20 21:19 |
cubezzz | which I never made | May 20 21:19 |
sebsebseb | yes Stallman is the great example of what I ma saying | May 20 21:19 |
MinceR | > "- i'd like to get a mousepad for my mac. - yes, this seems like a fair trade" | May 20 21:19 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: yes you didn't , but wI want to talk a bit about this stuff in a talk | May 20 21:19 |
sebsebseb | that's why I am thinking about it | May 20 21:19 |
sebsebseb | what to say etc | May 20 21:19 |
abeNd-org | most people could care less about the distinctions | May 20 21:19 |
sebsebseb | how to like make people think intereseting, but without thinking ike oh those people are nuts | May 20 21:19 |
sebsebseb | I want to look at the people who don't care as much | May 20 21:19 |
sebsebseb | to those that do | May 20 21:19 |
sebsebseb | and a bit aout myself and so on | May 20 21:20 |
sebsebseb | ,but to an aduaince of people who aren't reall into computers most of them, so it's like hwat to say, how to say it | May 20 21:20 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: the distinctions the so called correct way of saying things is that what you mean? | May 20 21:20 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: oh and openSUSE well some would attack you for that, since the MIcrooft deal, incluing MinceR | May 20 21:21 |
sebsebseb | there's that kind of thing to, oh no Microsofot is linked to that, it's so bad, well here's one such example, some companies are in a group now so money anbe used, if heartbleed issues happen agian | May 20 21:21 |
sebsebseb | one such company is Microsoft, no APple in there htough | May 20 21:21 |
abeNd-org | well the business apps customers run are certified on SLES, so that is what i use (not even opensuse), customer wants vendor certification for their business apps, so its either windows or SLES (sometimes rhel) | May 20 21:22 |
sebsebseb | now is that a bad thing that Microsoft put them selves in a group, of companies like that | May 20 21:22 |
cubezzz | my advice to anyone is to read history | May 20 21:22 |
DaemonFC | why is the green light on my phone flashing for no reason? | May 20 21:23 |
cubezzz | or watch some of Moglen's videos | May 20 21:23 |
cubezzz | or read what Moglen wrote about copyright | May 20 21:23 |
abeNd-org | but the average human doesnt care about linux/gnu/bsd/windows/etc, they just want their facebook & photosharing to work, they could care less if it was on internet explorer, firefox, chrome, etc | May 20 21:24 |

cubezzz | some of my customers are anti-cloud | May 20 21:28 |
cubezzz | eventually the old ways of thinking will die out | May 20 21:34 |
cubezzz | and the next generation will do things differently | May 20 21:34 |
cubezzz | coaches used to be 100% against hockey goalies wearing face protection :) | May 20 21:35 |
cubezzz | so yeah, learn some history | May 20 21:35 |

abeNd-org | yea, it seems "the cloud" is where all the customers want to go, even if it doesnt make financial sense for them to do so | May 20 21:46 |
_Goblin | I suppose I'm a customer (albeit not a company) I'm 98% on the cloud | May 20 21:51 |
_Goblin | Storage wise (for my documents) I'm sort of hybrid since this device can work offline with my docs and syncs them when available. | May 20 21:52 |
_Goblin | 100gb of storage - that covers all my family snaps.....Docs don't use up the space...I think it's great. | May 20 21:53 |
cubezzz | people (still) aren't backing up their data | May 20 21:54 |
abeNd-org | thats ok, most data really isnt all that important | May 20 21:55 |
abeNd-org | most individuals would be fine if they had to start over | May 20 21:55 |
cubezzz | well, I assume folks want to keep their photos | May 20 21:55 |
abeNd-org | *shrug* if they do, then they should back them up, if not, then they werent important to begin with | May 20 21:55 |
_Goblin | I've lost more photo's through local storage than I care to remember... | May 20 21:57 |
_Goblin | at least with Google I've had them on the drive for a long while, no issues. | May 20 21:57 |
abeNd-org | i have mine "backed up" locally, onedrive (225gb space) & bittorrentsync to an external drive | May 20 21:57 |
_Goblin | and if the government want to look through them, then fine as long as they don't mess up the organization. | May 20 21:58 |
abeNd-org | if i manage to lose it in all 3 places, well, it wasnt all that important to begin with :P | May 20 21:58 |
_Goblin | I was burned by an external drive.... | May 20 21:58 |
_Goblin | maybe my backup routine was lacking.... | May 20 21:58 |
_Goblin | but then you just don't see how fragile things are until its too late. | May 20 21:59 |
cubezzz | well no system is perfect, some of my kodachrome slides have deteriorated | May 20 21:59 |
abeNd-org | _goblin when all that nsa snooping first broke schestowitz took one of my quotes along the lines of "fine, make a copy of all my stuff, but at least give me access to it as a backup" | May 20 21:59 |
cubezzz | mostly the ones from the mid-70s | May 20 21:59 |
cubezzz | old film can have vinegar syndrome | May 20 21:59 |
_Goblin | abeNd-org: I'd agree....It would be less a bitter pill to swallow if I can grab a backup should things get deleted. | May 20 21:59 |
abeNd-org | yep, if we could get something for our money out of it... | May 20 22:00 |
_Goblin | but then we all store data on the cloud....of sorts.... | May 20 22:00 |
abeNd-org | just setup owncloud or something as a front end & give us all logins :P | May 20 22:00 |
_Goblin | thats another plus of gdrive...I can share it with anyone. | May 20 22:01 |
_Goblin | so its handy when relatives have photo's to upload. | May 20 22:01 |
abeNd-org | yea, dropbox & im pretty sure onedrive allow that too | May 20 22:02 |
abeNd-org | & for corporate use I use Novell Filr for that, works great | May 20 22:02 |
abeNd-org | ^since it works against edir/ad/ldap | May 20 22:03 |
_Goblin | I won't use dropbox....appart from the management issues its not integrated on this Chromebook like gdrive. | May 20 22:03 |
abeNd-org | i havent played with a chromebook really as of yet | May 20 22:03 |
_Goblin | I'd recommend. | May 20 22:03 |
abeNd-org | setup wireless on a bunch of them for some kids, but havent actually used it other than that | May 20 22:03 |
abeNd-org | ive got no disposable income for one of my own, & cant really think of what i would use it for. cant use it for anything above & beyond my work laptop for work or personal use | May 20 22:04 |

cubezzz | have you tried gmail-backup? | May 20 22:06 |
_Goblin | Its pretty flawless switching between off and online (for documents et al) however for me, if I lose net connection any machine is pretty much worthless to me. | May 20 22:06 |
_Goblin | cubezzz: no.....don't need particularly. | May 20 22:06 |
cubezzz | I hope it doesn't backup the spam :-P | May 20 22:07 |
_Goblin | probably will.... | May 20 22:07 |
_Goblin | although it filters my spam quite effectively. | May 20 22:07 |
_Goblin | I've seen a really useless feature....... | May 20 22:07 |
_Goblin | "Request your tweets"...... | May 20 22:08 |
_Goblin | who on earth wants to request a copy of all their tweets? In my case 13k of them. | May 20 22:08 |

_Goblin | I joined in that year | May 20 22:09 |
_Goblin | I was a Twitter pioneer.......(or was I) not sure when twitter started | May 20 22:10 |
cubezzz | gmail only started in July 2008 | May 20 22:10 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: hmm sounds about right for gmail | May 20 22:10 |

sebsebseb | then | May 20 22:11 |
_Goblin | I can't say I've had any issues..... | May 20 22:11 |
_Goblin | oh except for when I delete mail and I get a message "Why delete you have loads of space?" | May 20 22:11 |
_Goblin | I delete because the stuff is crap. | May 20 22:11 |
_Goblin | I don't keep crap. | May 20 22:12 |
_Goblin | No actually I do..... I have an 80286 up in the loft with Windows 3.1 on it. | May 20 22:12 |
_Goblin | or was it a 386? | May 20 22:13 |

msb_ | sebsebseb: Seems to me that you would want to talk about the advantages of Linux over Windows and Mac. In addition to reliability, one of the big advantages is multiple virtual desktops (if you use a DE that supports them). You can have one desktop for Mail, one for Music, one for Photos, etc., as many as 20 of them, and in each one you only have the programs for that particular activity, so your screen is never cluttered with programs | May 20 23:32 |
msb_ | you're not using. This is viewed by many Linux power users as one of the greatest advantages of Linux. | May 20 23:32 |
msb_ | sebsebseb: KDE3 and Trinity (TDE) supports this. Perhaps there are others. | May 20 23:34 |
msb_ | sebsebseb: Each desktop has at the bottom a little applet listing the names of all the desktops, and to switch to a different one you only have to click on the name of the one you want to go to. | May 20 23:36 |

DaemonFC | msb_, So I've started drinking water from those vending machines after the "there's shit in your water but we didn't tell you for a week" ordeal. | May 22 19:24 |
DaemonFC | The reverse osmosis, carbon filter, UV sterilization system... | May 22 19:24 |
msb_ | Maybe that's what made you sick. | May 22 19:25 |
msb_ | You can get a water distiller for $160, which distills a gallon of water in about 4 hours at a cost of about 40 cents for electricity. Takes out everything. ans sterilizes too. | May 22 19:26 |
msb_ | ans -> and | May 22 19:26 |
msb_ | Also takes out fluoride, which is very toxic. | May 22 19:27 |
DaemonFC | msb_, I'd assume that the reverse osmosis system removes most of the fluoride anyway. | May 22 19:33 |
DaemonFC | According to my total dissolved solids readings, the tap water here rates about 400 on most of the samples I've taken. | May 22 19:33 |
DaemonFC | The stuff out of the water vending machine at Walmart scored 17, Kroger North was 15, Kroger South was 29. | May 22 19:34 |
DaemonFC | So, reverse osmosis does a pretty good job, it seems. | May 22 19:34 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Hard to say. If the RO membrane has a pinhole, all bets are off. But the distiller is under your control and takes out everything. | May 22 19:35 |
DaemonFC | Those are very effective filters, and they last for years. They backflush themselves to get rid of the crap they filtered out, so they're self-cleaning for the most part. | May 22 19:35 |
DaemonFC | They probably only need to replace the filter about every year or so.... | May 22 19:35 |
DaemonFC | (commercial vending machine, lots of use) | May 22 19:35 |
DaemonFC | Well, I'll just keep using the vending machine at Walmart or Kroger North. | May 22 19:36 |
msb_ | Like the weird surgeon said, "Suture self." I prefer not to trust corporations. | May 22 19:36 |
DaemonFC | It seems to get rid of a little over 95% of the total dissolved solids. | May 22 19:36 |
DaemonFC | That's not bad. | May 22 19:37 |
DaemonFC | That can be anything though, really. | May 22 19:37 |
DaemonFC | Mostly calcium, dirt, and rust and maybe a little lead from old decaying water pipes. | May 22 19:37 |
msb_ | Fluoride is a very small molecule (single atom ion, really), so hard to get rid of. | May 22 19:38 |
DaemonFC | The last time the city did a major overhaul of the water delivery system here was in the 1970s. | May 22 19:38 |
DaemonFC | So it's probably not looking too good. | May 22 19:38 |
msb_ | I shower in tapwater, but I sure wouldn't drink it. | May 22 19:38 |
msb_ | The distiller has no membranes to trust. | May 22 19:39 |
DaemonFC | My city doesn't fluoridate. There's so much farm runoff that the water has more than the government requires. | May 22 19:39 |
msb_ | You just clean the scale out of the boiler once a week. | May 22 19:40 |
DaemonFC | Saves them about $50,000 a year. | May 22 19:40 |
msb_ | Wonderful. Lowers everyone's IQ and makes them obedient. | May 22 19:40 |
DaemonFC | Factory farms are basically allowed to cause as much environmental damage as they want in Indiana. | May 22 19:40 |

DaemonFC | Apple alone avoids paying $2.8 billion in federal taxes alone each year, not counting state taxes. Their headquarters is in California, but they avoid California taxes by registering a small office in Nevada as their "official headquarters". With this money, they stash it in Luxembourg, a tax haven, where they use it to buy US government debt, which pays them interest on the taxes they avoided. It's estimated that Apple now owns over $100 bi | May 22 20:36 |
DaemonFC | llion of interest-bearing US government debt. About 10% as much as the government of China. Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, said that "It's no Apple's problem to fix America's problems", and of course he was referring to the unpaid taxes and all of the jobs that Apple outsourced to third world countries. Apple shut down their last plant building Mac computers in 2002. The jobs paid over $12 an hour in 2002 dollars. They recently brought a few back to | May 22 20:36 |
DaemonFC | assemble their $10,000 Mac Pros. The jobs pay about $9. When you buy an iPhone, only 6% of the money stays in the US. It creates very few jobs in the US, and most of them are lousy jobs. Most of the jobs created are high tech jobs in Europe (largely Germany), which fund advanced college education for their citizens as a social benefit, and assembly operations in China. Apple is one of the most socially irresponsible companies in tech. Their | May 22 20:36 |
DaemonFC | assembly factories in China usually have several workers committing suicide every day to escape 70+ hour work weeks with unpaid overtime, where the company docks most of their pay for bad food and lice-infested overcrowded dorms. Apple was also a pioneer in convincing people that they don't need freedom if they call the computer a phone. Apple devices don't allow the user the freedom to install non-Apple approved software. This allows price | May 22 20:36 |

Sosumi | msb_, that was probably the most disgusting I've ever seen on the internet | May 22 20:50 |
Sosumi | *thing | May 22 20:50 |
Sosumi | so lets keep it buried | May 22 20:50 |
msb_ | Sosumi: A. You must lead a very sheltered life. B. It was a disgusting thing done by Apple, so it should not be buried. | May 22 20:52 |
DaemonFC | msb_, The figures I see suggest that reverse osmosis gets out 65-90% of the fluoride from water. | May 22 20:53 |
DaemonFC | That's certainly an improvement. | May 22 20:53 |
DaemonFC | It depends on the actual filter though. | May 22 20:53 |
cubezzz | msb_, I got unix version 1 running | May 22 20:53 |
msb_ | And distillation gets out 100% | May 22 20:53 |

msb_ | cubezzz: Wow, on what? | May 22 20:54 |
cubezzz | PDP-11/20 of course | May 22 20:54 |
cubezzz | alas, it's merely emulated, but it runs | May 22 20:54 |

cubezzz | PDP-11/20 with 32K and a 2.5 meg hard drive | May 22 20:55 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: After every batch, you wipe out the boiler with paper towels. Once a week, you put in 1/4 inch of water with a couple tablespoons of vitamin C and carefully let it boil as you swirl it until the scale is dissolved, then unplug it and rinse/wipe it out. Takes about 5-10 minutes. | May 22 20:57 |

cubezzz | some web pages say it was lost | May 22 21:09 |
cubezzz | so it's using 694 blocks out of 3380 | May 22 21:09 |
cubezzz | I've under-estimated what early unix can do | May 22 21:11 |
DaemonFC | msb_, I can buy water from the vending machine for 37 cents a gallon, and it only takes about 20 seconds to fill each bottle. | May 22 21:11 |
msb_ | So you are trusting not only the corporation, but the pimple-face kid they are paying $4.50/hour to follow their instructions. | May 22 21:12 |
DaemonFC | $4.50 an hour? | May 22 21:13 |
DaemonFC | Huh? | May 22 21:13 |
msb_ | Not that much, eh? | May 22 21:13 |
DaemonFC | That's below the minimum wage. | May 22 21:13 |
abeNd-org | why should you get paid anyways? | May 22 21:16 |
abeNd-org | companies should just stop paying everyone | May 22 21:16 |
DaemonFC | Let what's left of the economy fall apart? | May 22 21:16 |
cubezzz | go back to barter system :) | May 22 21:16 |
DaemonFC | $7.25 an hour isn't enough to live on in the cheapest part of the United States, even if you get full time hours. | May 22 21:17 |
abeNd-org | no no, do what the democrats really want - everything is free | May 22 21:17 |
DaemonFC | abeNd-org, Well, the very rich want the system we had in the 1920s. | May 22 21:17 |
DaemonFC | And they've finally almost gotten us there. | May 22 21:17 |
abeNd-org | financial collapse? | May 22 21:18 |
DaemonFC | For everyone but themselves, sure. | May 22 21:18 |
DaemonFC | They caused the collapse intentionally. | May 22 21:18 |
abeNd-org | well great, then they can pay for everything | May 22 21:18 |
DaemonFC | They knew exactly how to make money and get their own money out before it all fell over. | May 22 21:18 |
DaemonFC | Just like they've done several times since then. | May 22 21:18 |
abeNd-org | sure, if they want this that to happen, what do they actually get out of it? | May 22 21:19 |
abeNd-org | richer yes, but everyone else out of work & dirt poor doesnt get them paid to buy goods to get the rich richer | May 22 21:19 |
cubezzz | you still need workers to maintain stuff | May 22 21:20 |
cubezzz | that never changes | May 22 21:20 |
abeNd-org | their nice mansions wont maintain themselves, even with a robot servant force | May 22 21:20 |
cubezzz | so anyways, the PDP-11/20 had the same amount of memory as a commodore 64 | May 22 21:26 |

cubezzz | no bad for 1972! | May 22 21:28 |
cubezzz | not | May 22 21:28 |
DaemonFC | abeNd-org, What we have here is basically a rent extraction system. | May 22 21:33 |
DaemonFC | The rich are parasites on working people. | May 22 21:33 |
DaemonFC | Bankers, landlords, payday loan companies, subprime car loans.... | May 22 21:34 |
DaemonFC | check cashing services | May 22 21:34 |
DaemonFC | They're all enabled by bad employers like Walmart that pay, you know, about $8 an hour. | May 22 21:34 |
DaemonFC | And people work there as they get poorer and poorer. These people have way less than nothing. | May 22 21:34 |
DaemonFC | The alternative is stop working and starve immediately. | May 22 21:34 |
DaemonFC | Thanks to engineered high unemployment, people are coerced into working bad jobs that don't pay the bills. | May 22 21:35 |
DaemonFC | The employer basically gets labor that costs next to nothing, where the employee and taxpayers are covering the cost of their labor. | May 22 21:35 |
DaemonFC | To reverse this system, the minimum wage must increase, and it must be indexed to inflation. | May 22 21:36 |
DaemonFC | Some state and local governments are starting to realize that the federal minimum wage is making their state economies and tax revenues get scary-bad, and they're taking action themselves. | May 22 21:36 |
abeNd-org | right, but the people would eventually get the point where they have absolutely nothing | May 22 21:50 |
abeNd-org | and thats when they riot & kill the rich | May 22 21:51 |
amarsh04 | that's what happens in Australia DaemonFC... schestowitz has reported on the minimum wage in Australia before | May 22 21:52 |
schestowitz__ | it's not too bad in the UJ | May 22 21:56 |
schestowitz__ | UK | May 22 21:56 |
schestowitz__ | But there's a snag | May 22 21:56 |
schestowitz__ | some get zero-hour contracts | May 22 21:56 |
schestowitz__ | so even at minimum rate for hour they're not guaranteed minimum income | May 22 21:57 |
schestowitz__ | and can be counted as "employed" nonetheless | May 22 21:57 |
schestowitz__ | abeNd-org: correct, and that's why the rich are afraid and keep insecurity high, but not TOO high | May 22 21:58 |

DaemonFC | msb_, Well, I have a hard time buying the water fluoridation as a public health benefit story. | May 22 22:25 |
DaemonFC | The government in the US doesn't do anything it doesn't have to for the poor. | May 22 22:25 |
DaemonFC | And if fluoridation is so good for your teeth, then why do many people my age have rotting/disgusting/missing teeth? | May 22 22:26 |
MinceR | i have a hard time buying water fluoridation as a conspiracy theory story :> | May 22 22:26 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, It's a byproduct of the aluminum and fertilizer industries. | May 22 22:26 |
MinceR | still, i think putting fluoride in toothpaste is a far better delivery method | May 22 22:26 |
MinceR | DaemonFC: that sounds more credible indeed. | May 22 22:26 |
DaemonFC | They convinced the public that it could be dumped in the water to help your teeth so that they could get rid of it. | May 22 22:27 |
msb_ | It was known that the Nazis had put fluoride in the prison water in WW2. | May 22 22:27 |
DaemonFC | Instead of having to pay someone to dispose of it somewhere, they get taxpayers to pay them for their waste, so it can be dumped into the water. | May 22 22:27 |
DaemonFC | And it's not the same fluoride that's in your toothpaste. | May 22 22:27 |
DaemonFC | The shit they dump in the water is Hexafluorosilicic acid, not sodium fluoride, in most places. | May 22 22:28 |
DaemonFC | The government can get hexafluorosilicic acid much cheaper, so that's what they tend to use. | May 22 22:28 |
MinceR | it is also known that hitler consumed DHMO. | May 22 22:29 |

*siel has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) | May 22 22:31 | |
MinceR | DaemonFC: how well known/proven is it that the fluoride level in water is high due to industrial contamination, as opposed to natural (mineral?) sources? | May 22 22:31 |
DaemonFC | msb_, Well, I think part of the reason that tap water is so disgusting is because of the bottled water companies. | May 22 22:32 |
DaemonFC | They said it was their goal all along to make tap water something you just flush the toilet and do your dishes with. | May 22 22:32 |
MinceR | :> | May 22 22:32 |
DaemonFC | They don't want it to be fit for drinking, else they can't sell you theirs. | May 22 22:32 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, When I get my water report from the city each year, they say they don't have to add fluoride because there's so much from fertilizer runoff in the water aquifer supplying our area anyway. | May 22 22:33 |
MinceR | ic | May 22 22:33 |
DaemonFC | There's a copy of it on the city website. | May 22 22:33 |

DaemonFC | MinceR, Plus, the total dissolved solids level is pretty high, by tap water standards. | May 22 22:35 |
msb_ | So if you think Hitler was concerned with the prisoners dental health, then you can believe the same about your govt. | May 22 22:36 |
DaemonFC | Lots of lime, mostly. | May 22 22:36 |
DaemonFC | msb_, Well, the Nazis weren't concerned about the dental health of their Jewish prisoners. | May 22 22:36 |
DaemonFC | They were ripping their teeth out to get their gold fillings before they gassed them to death. | May 22 22:36 |
MinceR | my government is emulating hitler but afaik they aren't fluoridating the tap water yet | May 22 22:36 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, Maybe Hungaristan doesn't have the kind of heavy industry that produces the shit. | May 22 22:37 |
MinceR | indeed | May 22 22:37 |
DaemonFC | So, they'd have to buy it from somewhere. | May 22 22:37 |
msb_ | So why did hitler put in the fluoride? | May 22 22:37 |
MinceR | hungaristan doesn't have much in the way of heavy industry to speak of | May 22 22:37 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, It sounds like one of those European states where the main industry is printing money. | May 22 22:38 |
MinceR | the commies made sure pretty much none of the hungarian industry remained competitive, and then it was mostly shut down during the republic. | May 22 22:38 |

DaemonFC | MinceR, The United States has a LOT of manufacturing left. | May 22 22:38 |
DaemonFC | Despite the outsourcing. | May 22 22:38 |
MinceR | they'll need it too, if they continue degrading their education :> | May 22 22:39 |
DaemonFC | The outsourcing mostly got rid of what couldn't be highly automated, and therefore required a lot of menial labor. | May 22 22:39 |
DaemonFC | Actually, it's getting to the point where you need some college or vocational training to get an entry level manufacturing job. | May 22 22:39 |
DaemonFC | But, the state and federal governments are not investing in American students. | May 22 22:40 |
DaemonFC | They're spending all this time and money bringing in foreigners and giving them highly valued skills, so that they can go back to where they came from and compete with Americans for skilled jobs. | May 22 22:40 |
DaemonFC | And while they're here, OUR government is spending OUR money to give them free shit. | May 22 22:41 |
DaemonFC | food stamps | May 22 22:41 |
DaemonFC | public housing | May 22 22:41 |
DaemonFC | education subsidies | May 22 22:41 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, It hasn't gotten as bad as the UK though. | May 22 22:42 |
DaemonFC | If schestowitz started talking bad about the invasion, his government would arrest him for being impolite or something | May 22 22:42 |
DaemonFC | But while all this shit is going on, I know plenty of Americans who can't get help with college and end up working dead end service jobs and can't even pay their fucking rent. | May 22 22:43 |
DaemonFC | That's why I said that half of Congress needs to be in prison, and the other half should be shot. | May 22 22:43 |
DaemonFC | If our government was worried about us, it would be taking care of American citizens first. | May 22 22:44 |

cubezzz | that's forced down people's throats | May 22 22:49 |
cubezzz | you have to be fairly savvy to avoid it | May 22 22:49 |
DaemonFC | Well, it's just a job for a lot of them. | May 22 22:49 |
MinceR | yeah, a job that they do horribly badly | May 22 22:49 |
DaemonFC | I don't think that Microsoft treats most of their employees very well. | May 22 22:49 |
cubezzz | well, you can decide whether or not to pay for windows or twinkies :) | May 22 22:49 |
DaemonFC | I've heard that it's basically a three tiered system there. | May 22 22:50 |
cubezzz | there is a choice | May 22 22:50 |
cubezzz | personally, I said no to both :) | May 22 22:50 |
DaemonFC | There's management and a few senior employees that get good pay and benefits. | May 22 22:50 |
MinceR | yeah, you can decide whether to pay for windows or not to buy a pc to which it is tied | May 22 22:50 |

cubezzz | I mean, sure the situation is not ideal, but it's not impossible to get a laptop with linux on it | May 22 22:51 |
MinceR | in any case, the choices are reduced to a tiny fraction of the market | May 22 22:52 |
cubezzz | buy a laptop with no hard drive for example... | May 22 22:52 |
MinceR | usually with low-end specs | May 22 22:52 |
cubezzz | true | May 22 22:52 |
MinceR | they don't sell laptops with no HDD/SSD here | May 22 22:52 |
cubezzz | I realize it's not a perfect solution, but you can buy used laptops without a hard drive | May 22 22:53 |
cubezzz | many many places will sell them like that, as it's a security issue | May 22 22:53 |
cubezzz | computers owned by governments or hospitals or emergency workers | May 22 22:54 |
cubezzz | used panasonic toughbooks are very common | May 22 22:54 |
cubezzz | new stuff, I agree, very hard to find pre-loaded with Linux or non-windows | May 22 22:55 |
MinceR | gn | May 22 23:04 |
cubezzz | I can definitely remember many white box pc builders in the late 80's | May 22 23:04 |
cubezzz | and they wouldn't charge anything for software | May 22 23:04 |
cubezzz | they just loaded up your hard drive with copies of stuff | May 22 23:05 |
cubezzz | nowadays, I don't see the small PC builder as much | May 22 23:05 |
cubezzz | but there is a massive used market now | May 22 23:06 |
cubezzz | almost every computer retailer is selling refurbished machines | May 22 23:06 |
cubezzz | you can get used quad core boxes now | May 22 23:07 |
DaemonFC | I commented on Facebook: | May 23 00:13 |

DaemonFC | msb_, Another reason to drink distilled or reverse osmosis filtered water is the shit that hard water leaves on your teeth. | May 23 00:16 |
DaemonFC | That's why you have to go to the dentist every six months to get your teeth cleaned. Without that hard water, once a year is fine. | May 23 00:16 |
DaemonFC | That crap gets into your body and ends up in your saliva, and so you start getting deposits on your teeth. | May 23 00:17 |

DaemonFC | Debian isn't recommended because it does offer some nonfree software. | May 23 02:09 |
DaemonFC | The FSF's guidelines say that they won't endorse a distribution that provides it in such a way that it makes it seem like it's recommended. | May 23 02:10 |
DaemonFC | So, if Debian stopped packaging it, but someone else provided it unofficially, then that would make Debian eligible for an endorsement. | May 23 02:10 |
DaemonFC | The key difference being is whether the distribution seems to suggest installing it or not. | May 23 02:11 |
DaemonFC | There's no requirement that it actively prevents you from installing nonfree software. | May 23 02:11 |
DaemonFC | Fedora doesn't qualify, but it is more free than Debian in the way the FSF has chosen to define it. | May 23 02:12 |
DaemonFC | Fedora doesn't package nonfree software, but it does include some device firmware that comes with the Linux kernel, which is under a binary-only redistributable license. | May 23 02:12 |
DaemonFC | They don't consider it to be software, because it doesn't run on the main CPU. | May 23 02:13 |
DaemonFC | Well, except for the CPU firmware, but that's not a big deal since your BIOS already loads nonfree firmware onto the CPU. | May 23 02:13 |
DaemonFC | All Fedora does is tell the CPU to unload the firmware that the BIOS downloaded onto it and replace it with more up-to-date firmware, which can fix processor bugs. | May 23 02:14 |
DaemonFC | The FSF has said that they wouldn't consider software running on these components to be software if it was burned into a ROM instead, which would effectively make it like a circuit. | May 23 02:15 |
DaemonFC | But, then you can never fix bugs. | May 23 02:15 |
DaemonFC | You'd end up with situations like the Pentium fdiv problem, where Intel had to recall the CPUs themselves. | May 23 02:15 |
DaemonFC | Although, sometimes it was possible to fix a CPU bug by putting a workaround in the operating system to prevent the CPU from entering a state where the bug would happen. | May 23 02:18 |
DaemonFC | The Cyrix Coma Bug is a good example of that. | May 23 02:18 |

DaemonFC | I was talking about all the video games coming to GNU/Linux on Facebook. | May 23 20:18 |
DaemonFC | Someone said that GNU/Linux is a small part of the "market", so I said.... | May 23 20:18 |
DaemonFC | Enough people have moved from Windows to GNU/Linux that game developers are starting to notice. The people who made the first wave of migration to GNU/Linux on the desktop still represent a small share of total computer users, but we are also the most profitable users for video game companies, because we tend to be a technical bunch that know what we're doing. | May 23 20:18 |
DaemonFC | Valve noticed that many of their "Windows XP" users were actually running Steam for Windows in Wine (software) on GNU/Linux (Wine reports itself as Windows XP by default), so Valve ported Steam to GNU/Linux, along with a bunch of games. | May 23 20:18 |
DaemonFC | So, that explains why video game companies highly prize GNU/Linux users. | May 23 20:18 |
DaemonFC | It's like saying that a restaurant has a loyalty club that gives you a free meal every fifth time you go in there. Obviously, it benefits the people who eat there very often more than it benefits the people that hardly ever go in. So, you may only benefit 5-10% of your customers, but those are your highly loyal customers who represent 60% of your restaurant's profit. | May 23 20:18 |
DaemonFC | There's been two big migration events to GNU/Linux. The first wave was when Windows Vista came out and it was slow, unusable garbage, even on a brand new PC. It crashed all the time, and everyone thought it was so awful that many people exercised downgrade rights to XP, or bought a copy of XP and replaced Vista with it (thus paying for Windows twice!), or made the switch to GNU/Linux, even if their favorite apps weren't there, and just made | May 23 20:22 |
DaemonFC | the best of Wine because it was still less painful than Vista. | May 23 20:22 |
DaemonFC | And, that was the wave that I was in, where I got rid of Windows and just started using GNU/Linux basically all the time. | May 23 20:23 |
DaemonFC | Then Windows 7 settled everything down for a while because it fixed most of the horrible things about Vista, but now Windows 8 is causing the second migration because it's completely horrible again. | May 23 20:23 |

DaemonFC | They would hoard ketchup packets, napkins, and straws that they got at McDonalds. | May 23 20:29 |
DaemonFC | They had a bunch of towels with hotel names on them. | May 23 20:29 |
DaemonFC | Rich people really are terrible. Millions of dollars in the bank, steals a towel and ketchup packets. WTF? | May 23 20:30 |
DaemonFC | She said that the guy used to sit there in the kitchen filling his ketchup bottles from the restaurant packets. | May 23 20:31 |

DaemonFC | I didn't notice any real difference between five blade and three blade, other than the five blade costs twice as much. | May 23 20:40 |
DaemonFC | More really, because Gillette releases these $3 off coupons. That makes the Sensor 3 $1.98 for a 4 pack, but the Fusion disposables are still $8.98 for four. | May 23 20:40 |
DaemonFC | They put the picture of the expensive razors on the coupon, but it says "any Gillette men's razors", so they work on the Sensor 3's as well. | May 23 20:41 |
DaemonFC | I stock up whenever that coupon comes up again. | May 23 20:41 |
DaemonFC | And they won't admit it, but the "Simply Venus" three blade razors that are the same price as the Sensor 3, shave exactly the same. | May 23 20:42 |
DaemonFC | So if you run out of men's razor coupons and want more, use the "women's razor" coupons too. | May 23 20:42 |
Snowleaksange | heh both filling your own condiment bottles with free ketchup packets, and really devoted systematic coupon leveraging seems like episode of ultimate cheapskates | May 23 20:42 |
DaemonFC | Snowleaksange, I see people doing stupid shit all the time. | May 23 20:43 |
DaemonFC | For some reason, everyone I know buys $5.96 toothpaste. | May 23 20:43 |
DaemonFC | I buy the 88 cent toothpaste when I have no coupons, and I get it for free every once in a while because it goes on sale, and I have a matching coupon. | May 23 20:43 |
DaemonFC | Then they're all like "I have $3 in the bank and my car is on E!". | May 23 20:44 |
Snowleaksange | how many hours per month in coupon leveraging activity | May 23 20:44 |
DaemonFC | Well, when you go in there and pay 600% of what you have to for every little thing, that's what happens. | May 23 20:44 |
Snowleaksange | or week | May 23 20:44 |
DaemonFC | I don't know. It's right down the street and I do it when I'm bored. | May 23 20:45 |
DaemonFC | I've worked it out. Sometimes I make $7-8 an hour, sometimes I make $30-40. :P | May 23 20:45 |
Snowleaksange | seems like could make shopping take 2x as long easily | May 23 20:45 |
DaemonFC | Snowleaksange, Well, there are these blogs that tell you when and where to use your coupons, but Walmart price matches all of them. | May 23 20:46 |
Snowleaksange | maybe its still winning financially, but important to consider opportunity-cost (ie time spent) | May 23 20:46 |
DaemonFC | So, if a $5 bottle of shampoo goes on sale for $3 at Dollar General, and you have a $2 off coupon, then it will still be $1 a bottle at Walmart. | May 23 20:46 |
DaemonFC | So, that's how I stockpile things. | May 23 20:46 |
DaemonFC | I probably have a few years worth of everything, but it never expires, and my entire personal item budget is probably less than $1 a week. | May 23 20:47 |
Snowleaksange | have u ever seen the show ultimate cheapskates, you can watch episodes online | May 23 20:47 |
DaemonFC | Extreme Cheapskates? | May 23 20:47 |
DaemonFC | Yeah, but most of that is fraud | May 23 20:47 |
Snowleaksange | oh yeah maybe thats it | May 23 20:47 |
DaemonFC | like, fake coupons | May 23 20:47 |
DaemonFC | that's illegal | May 23 20:47 |
DaemonFC | I don't do anything illegal. | May 23 20:47 |
Snowleaksange | i didnt think they did either | May 23 20:47 |
DaemonFC | Oh yeah, that episode with the 16 year old boy that filled his parents garage with soap and toilet paper and laundry detergent and stuff. | May 23 20:48 |
DaemonFC | Like thousands of dollars worth. | May 23 20:48 |
Snowleaksange | lol | May 23 20:48 |
DaemonFC | They had him on an episode. He went and bought $500 worth of Quilted Northern toilet paper at the grocery store. | May 23 20:48 |
Snowleaksange | thats like what would happen if you turned evil | May 23 20:48 |
DaemonFC | The coupons wouldn't scan, but a manager overrode the computer because he figured it was legit because it was on a TV show. | May 23 20:49 |
DaemonFC | Then the manufacturer said the coupons were fake and wouldn't redeem them, so the store contacted the district attorney. | May 23 20:49 |
DaemonFC | The kid's mother ended up having to go into the store and pay hundreds of dollars. | May 23 20:49 |
MinceR | the extreme expensiveskate | May 23 20:49 |

DaemonFC | The oil change ripoff reminds me of what Monro does. | May 23 20:51 |
DaemonFC | They have a $17.99 oil change coupon that you can use if it's Wednesday. | May 23 20:51 |
DaemonFC | But you get in there, and they add "fees" to it, and you pay closer to $30. | May 23 20:52 |
DaemonFC | Walmart is $26.88. | May 23 20:52 |
DaemonFC | But the shop that I go to all the time will do one for $20. | May 23 20:52 |
DaemonFC | So I go to Walmart for tires, but the local shop for an oil change. | May 23 20:52 |
Snowleaksange | going back to the oppotunity cost thing, the problem i have with using coupons is youre essentially saying to yourself, my time is not worth 1000$ an hour | May 23 20:52 |
Snowleaksange | maybe thats just realism but im not prepared to accept it | May 23 20:53 |
MinceR | + | May 23 20:54 |
Snowleaksange | 1000$ a little much but what it its 20$ | May 23 20:56 |
Snowleaksange | basically coupon leveraging is a job that pays a salary | May 23 20:57 |
Snowleaksange | how much $/hr is key q | May 23 20:57 |
*ThistleWeb (~gordon@unaffiliated/thistleweb) has joined #techrights | May 23 20:57 | |
Snowleaksange | also that you dont know off top of your head leads me to guess your motivation might actaully related to experiencing the psychological state of "saving" | May 23 20:59 |
Snowleaksange | rather than quantitative cost normalized benefit | May 23 20:59 |
DaemonFC | No, I don't use them for anything I wouldn't otherwise buy. | May 23 21:00 |
DaemonFC | And there's a lot of times where the coupon makes no difference at all, because it's not high value enough to make a cheaper product less desirable. | May 23 21:01 |
Snowleaksange | so many sweet classes on coursera.org | May 23 21:03 |
Snowleaksange | im signing up for more | May 23 21:03 |
DaemonFC | OF course, you can get four three blade razors from Dollar Tree for $1, but they're no good. | May 23 21:04 |
Snowleaksange | lot of them exact same classes taught in expen$sive graduate program | May 23 21:04 |
Snowleaksange | for free. so thats a decent coupon | May 23 21:04 |
DaemonFC | I made that mistake once. The razors were all dull to start with. | May 23 21:04 |
DaemonFC | So, you save nothing if the product is unusable. :) | May 23 21:04 |

DaemonFC | MinceR, Yeah, they wouldn't have to build the Ford Focus if they'd stop making gas guzzling SUVs that get 10 miles a gallon. | May 23 21:40 |
DaemonFC | Just saying.... | May 23 21:40 |
MinceR | :> | May 23 21:40 |
MinceR | they don't have to build anything :> | May 23 21:40 |
DaemonFC | CAFE is Corporate AVERAGE Fuel Economy. When you have 10 mpg SUVs and the CAFE standard is 22.5 mpg, you have to make some Ford Focuses | May 23 21:41 |
MinceR | foci :> | May 23 21:41 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, If they improve their gas mileage on the SUVs, they won't have to make as many cheap little cars to compensate for that. | May 23 21:41 |
DaemonFC | The CAFE standard is going up because gas prices have gone up. | May 23 21:42 |
DaemonFC | The more gasoline you have to sell, the higher the price for a gallon of it is going to be. | May 23 21:42 |
DaemonFC | Limited supply meets heavy demand, and prices go up. | May 23 21:42 |
DaemonFC | So, when people drive a gas hog, they're costing everyone that drives anything more money. | May 23 21:43 |
DaemonFC | It's just basic economics. | May 23 21:43 |
DaemonFC | The SUV owners should be glad that there are people driving reasonable vehicles, or they'd be paying $6-7 a gallon for their SUVs. | May 23 21:43 |
DaemonFC | They've externalizing the cost of their SUV onto other people, and they're basically getting a huge subsidy. | May 23 21:44 |
DaemonFC | The downside of using less gas is that states are raising their gas taxes again, because the highway funds are drying up. | May 23 21:44 |
MinceR | it's a conspiracy! | May 23 21:44 |
abeNd-org | & adding toll roads to already existing roads.... | May 23 21:45 |
DaemonFC | abeNd-org, Yeah, the third phase of the I-69 expansion is a "public private partnership". | May 23 21:46 |
abeNd-org | hah i69 - michigan? | May 23 21:47 |
DaemonFC | In other words, the state is making payments on it which are more expensive than if it just issued bonds. | May 23 21:47 |

DaemonFC | I don't question that sodium fluoride in toothpaste has proven benefits, but that's different. | May 24 02:30 |
DaemonFC | And you're applying it directly to the teeth and then rinsing and spitting most of it back out. | May 24 02:30 |
DaemonFC | There's no real evidence that putting it in the water provides more benefits than brushing properly, three times a day, with toothpaste. | May 24 02:31 |
DaemonFC | msb_, I don't see any reason to worry about removing all of it. | May 24 02:32 |
msb_ | I like my pineal gland. Fluoride destroys it. | May 24 02:32 |
DaemonFC | The problem seems to be that beyond a certain level, it has negative effects. | May 24 02:32 |
DaemonFC | The state of Indiana cut the required amount in half some years back. | May 24 02:32 |
DaemonFC | Because people's teeth were turning brown because of too much in the water. | May 24 02:33 |
DaemonFC | The way Indiana is set up is in such a way where the state government makes most local decisions. | May 24 02:33 |
DaemonFC | There's no ability for local governments to decide to stop fluoridating the water. It's a state law. | May 24 02:33 |
DaemonFC | So, ratepayers in those communities have to pay to add the fluoride to get the water up to the minimum legal level. | May 24 02:34 |
DaemonFC | msb_, California is much different. | May 24 02:34 |
DaemonFC | You guys have voter initiatives and stuff. If your state government is not doing what you want it to, you can overrule it and create laws without their approval. | May 24 02:35 |
DaemonFC | We don't have that in Indiana, but we need it. | May 24 02:35 |
cubezzz | msg_, wrote my first fortran program for Unix v5 | May 24 02:35 |
cubezzz | msb_, rather | May 24 02:35 |
DaemonFC | Indiana still has a bunch of "war on drugs" assholes, so even with 56% approval for decriminalizing marijuana possession among Indiana citizens, that's going nowhere. | May 24 02:36 |
DaemonFC | You'd think if 56% of the public wants rid of a law, that the law should be repealed. | May 24 02:36 |
DaemonFC | I mean, usually. | May 24 02:36 |
DaemonFC | When there's something that shouldn't be up for a vote, I think it should go into the constitution, and that *that* should be harder to modify. | May 24 02:37 |
DaemonFC | Indiana is basically a very corporate government. | May 24 02:37 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Congrats! | May 24 02:37 |
DaemonFC | The Koch brothers and other wealthy industrialists run the state. | May 24 02:38 |
DaemonFC | They get whatever they want. | May 24 02:38 |
msb_ | cubezzz: I once wrote a Fortran program that printed out its own source code. | May 24 02:39 |
DaemonFC | msb_, I'd buy a distillation unit, but it's a big up front expense. It seems to take a long time to produce a small amount of water. | May 24 02:39 |
DaemonFC | There's lime scale issues that I'm sure would be just terrible with our tap water. | May 24 02:39 |
cubezzz | msb_, a quine you mean? | May 24 02:39 |
DaemonFC | Reverse osmosis is a pretty ingenious system. Pretty much all of that crap just gets backflushed into the sewer. | May 24 02:40 |
DaemonFC | :) | May 24 02:40 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Is that what such a program is called? | May 24 02:40 |
cubezzz | a quine is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as output | May 24 02:40 |
cubezzz | msb_, there was a tiny bit of fortran source code in Unix v1 | May 24 02:43 |
cubezzz | I was able to adapt it to Unix v5 & v6 | May 24 02:43 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: $160, 4hr/gallon, clean it as necessary. No worries about a pinhole in the RO membrane, or how well the corporation is maintaining the RO machine. But suit yourself. | May 24 02:45 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Use ascorbic or citric acid to dissolve the scale. Vinegar will damage the seal. | May 24 02:46 |
msb_ | I used to write Fortran-callable subroutines to connect flying-spot scanner, nuclear modules, to PDP6/10 and Eclipse. | May 24 02:48 |
cubezzz | I didn't realize you worked on PDP-6 | May 24 02:48 |
msb_ | Yep. | May 24 02:48 |
cubezzz | do you have any program listings from that era? | May 24 02:49 |
msb_ | Once made an emitter-coupled logic circuit to interface with a nuclear module (used for photon-counting in biology). | May 24 02:49 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Not that I'd know where to find. | May 24 02:50 |
cubezzz | ok, yeah I think you mentioned that before | May 24 02:50 |
cubezzz | it was a pretty rare machine from what I understand | May 24 02:50 |
msb_ | Had a live-in technician. Once showed me a 2-foot square PC board -- one bit of the accumulator. | May 24 02:52 |
cubezzz | yes, I hear it was tempermental :) | May 24 02:53 |
msb_ | It was connected via a parallel cable to a LINC or PDP8 in a lab in the basement. Six floors! | May 24 02:55 |
msb_ | Home-made transistor drivers for each bit. Insane! | May 24 02:55 |
msb_ | I guess it was before ethernet. | May 24 02:55 |
cubezzz | so for removable media it had... paper tape? | May 24 02:56 |
msb_ | Or maybe the cable went up to a PDP8 next to the PDP6. | May 24 02:56 |
msb_ | DecTapes | May 24 02:56 |
msb_ | and magtapes. | May 24 02:56 |
msb_ | Tape-eating magtapes. | May 24 02:57 |
cubezzz | well it would be the drives that ate the tapes surely :) | May 24 02:58 |
msb_ | Stretched them, more precisely. | May 24 02:58 |
cubezzz | ok, I thought I saw a paper tape reader in the picture | May 24 02:58 |
msb_ | I'm sure there was one, for booting. | May 24 02:58 |
msb_ | With a plastic boot-tape for long life. | May 24 02:59 |
msb_ | They did experiments with chlorophyll, where the reaction was started by a nanosecond pulse from a Q-switched ruby laser. | May 24 03:01 |
msb_ | The measurement light for it was a xenon flashlamp powered by a multiple pi-section tunable delay line charged to a KV or more. Adjust the cores to get a flat light pulse. | May 24 03:02 |
msb_ | The measure signal was recorded on a polaroid camera on a 450 MHz oscilloscope. Nothing could digitize that fast. | May 24 03:03 |
msb_ | Then a flying-spot scanner -- oscilloscope, big lens, photomultiplier tube in a dark box -- would scan the photograph under PDP8 control, the result read in by a driver in Fortran. | May 24 03:05 |
msb_ | Fun, eh? | May 24 03:05 |
cubezzz | a lot of improvising it seems like | May 24 03:07 |
cubezzz | yeah, I was talking to another guy about early unix posters which were created by phototypesetting | May 24 03:08 |
cubezzz | interesting stuff | May 24 03:09 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Improvising? How else to do it? | May 24 03:09 |
cubezzz | ok, prototyping then :) | May 24 03:09 |
cubezzz | I don't know how else it could be done in that time period | May 24 03:09 |
msb_ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britton_Chance Director of the multi-lab foundation. | May 24 03:10 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Britton Chance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [ http://ur1.ca/hdbfb ] | May 24 03:10 | |
msb_ | We made it work! | May 24 03:10 |
cubezzz | well I would say that early work in any field involves some experimentation | May 24 03:11 |
cubezzz | you can't just read a book and do it | May 24 03:11 |
msb_ | I'm very proud of that flat-pulse xenon flasher. | May 24 03:11 |
cubezzz | IBM had something called an optical mark page reader | May 24 03:12 |
cubezzz | and a display copier | May 24 03:12 |
cubezzz | that was mid-60s | May 24 03:12 |
cubezzz | sure, you should be proud :) | May 24 03:12 |
msb_ | We used a lot of photomultiplier tubes. | May 24 03:13 |
msb_ | The only thing that could measure biochemical reactions that fast was light. | May 24 03:13 |
cubezzz | I can only imagine the stories you heard from guys one generation earlier than you | May 24 03:13 |
*cubezzz nods | May 24 03:14 | |
cubezzz | so what did you guys use for an OS for the PDP-6? | May 24 03:14 |
cubezzz | I know a bit about PDP-7, but not the PDP-6 | May 24 03:15 |
msb_ | I worked on a microspectrophotometer. Sent monochromatic reference and measure light beams through a microscope (with quartz optics). Could measure reactions in the nucleus of a cell, compensated by a reference path through the cytoplasm. Beams switched by a mechanical chopper. | May 24 03:15 |
msb_ | I don't remember what the OS was called. | May 24 03:17 |
msb_ | On the teletype terminal, they all looked the same. 8^) | May 24 03:18 |
msb_ | The PDP6 may have used discrete transistor logic. Why the PC boards were so big. | May 24 03:19 |
msb_ | I remember there were pulse transformers in those circuits. | May 24 03:20 |
cubezzz | evidently there are no surviving PDP-6's | May 24 03:20 |
cubezzz | which doesn't surprise me | May 24 03:21 |
msb_ | DEC folks were generally nice to work with. | May 24 03:22 |
cubezzz | not like Microsoft eh? :) | May 24 03:22 |
msb_ | Gack! | May 24 03:22 |
cubezzz | actually, you experienced the pre-Microsoft era, I'm a bit jealous | May 24 03:23 |
msb_ | Not that I've talked to anyone from MS for 14 years, except their stooges on Usenet. | May 24 03:23 |
cubezzz | well I have... I talked to folks from Microsoft Canada | May 24 03:23 |
cubezzz | SCO was more friendly | May 24 03:24 |
cubezzz | of course this was the original SCO | May 24 03:24 |
msb_ | I live about 50 miles N of Santa Cruz. | May 24 03:25 |
cubezzz | you ever use SCO Xenix? | May 24 03:25 |
msb_ | Nah. | May 24 03:25 |
msb_ | Maybe. I've done a lot of little consulting jobs. | May 24 03:25 |
cubezzz | Xenix was sort of a closed-source Unix v7 | May 24 03:26 |
cubezzz | so re-discovering Unix v7 is like a breath of fresh air after using Xenix :) | May 24 03:26 |
msb_ | I never really got into the differences among various Unices. | May 24 03:27 |
cubezzz | well everything diverged from Unix v7, so I think it's worth learning about | May 24 03:28 |
msb_ | Sun had one that ran on a 386 machine, used that at Stanford. Funky, | May 24 03:28 |
cubezzz | that could be why a lot of people don't really like Unix | May 24 03:29 |
cubezzz | due to the Unix wars back in the 1980s | May 24 03:29 |
cubezzz | but it's the clear antecedent of modern Linux and BSD | May 24 03:30 |
msb_ | The CLI commands were all the same. I didn't even notice one version from another. | May 24 03:30 |
msb_ | Seems like there was some change in tty i/o at some point. I had to alter some of my routines. | May 24 03:31 |
cubezzz | there's detritus in unix which is a bit different in every version | May 24 03:32 |
msb_ | Same in Linux. KDE4, systemd... | May 24 03:32 |
cubezzz | yes :) | May 24 03:32 |
msb_ | Invasion of the Improvers | May 24 03:32 |
cubezzz | well try Unix v1, and you'll appreciate most of the improvements | May 24 03:33 |
cubezzz | I mean, most of the new ideas are good | May 24 03:33 |
cubezzz | some, like KDE4 or systemd, not so much | May 24 03:34 |
msb_ | I will never use KDE4. | May 24 03:34 |
cubezzz | glibc is bloated, the result of years of accumulated changes, different cpu architectures, and god knows what else | May 24 03:34 |
msb_ | From what I was told, it may be a MS plot to fuck up Linux. | May 24 03:35 |
msb_ | I don't imagine systemd will affect me much, at the user level. | May 24 03:35 |
cubezzz | ah, folks will just go to a distro that supports what they like | May 24 03:36 |
cubezzz | it's impossible to really mess up Linux | May 24 03:36 |
msb_ | I will use Trinity if Suse drops KDE3. | May 24 03:36 |
cubezzz | OpenBSD still uses KDE3 | May 24 03:36 |
cubezzz | and xfce is pretty useable | May 24 03:37 |
cubezzz | I don't think the BSD folks are using systemd | May 24 03:37 |
msb_ | So I'm told. Are the desktop names retained across reboots in xfce? Does it remember the desktop locations of xterms/konsoles/ | May 24 03:38 |
cubezzz | I don't use it enough to answer that | May 24 03:38 |
cubezzz | you normally use umm, I forget which terminal program exactly, not konsole anyway | May 24 03:40 |
msb_ | There's a guy here called XFaCE. | May 24 03:40 |
msb_ | Yes, konsole is KDE. | May 24 03:41 |
cubezzz | I'm using icewm on this box, I just never logout | May 24 03:43 |
cubezzz | last logout was due to a utility power failure 86 days ago | May 24 03:44 |
cubezzz | slackware is classic bsd style init scripts | May 24 03:46 |
cubezzz | I think you can still use Classical SysV style init on debian | May 24 03:47 |
cubezzz | I assume you can revert back to SysV style init on distros that use systemd? | May 24 03:47 |
cubezzz | I haven't upgraded any operating systems to latest and greatest in a number of years | May 24 03:49 |
cubezzz | I think the newest one I have is fedora 16 | May 24 03:49 |
msb_ | I dunno. Reversion from systemd to init might require lots of reversions in various system programs. | May 24 03:51 |
cubezzz | I'll just make my own distro at some point | May 24 03:51 |
cubezzz | I bet other folks will also, just look at distrowatch | May 24 03:52 |
msb_ | As long as I can get it to boot, set up fstab, and use my trackball and whatever audio chip on my mobo, and of course KDE3/Trinity that's about all I need. | May 24 03:53 |
msb_ | I'm a Linux user, not a system guy. | May 24 03:56 |
cubezzz | well I've installed v6 and v7 from the source tapes so I'm ready :) | May 24 03:59 |
cubezzz | I'll maybe try systemd on one machine, just to check it out | May 24 04:00 |
cubezzz | my gut instinct is I don't like it | May 24 04:00 |
msb_ | The Monster that Ate Chicago. | May 24 04:01 |
cubezzz | if you want a Bell Labs, there's Plan 9 | May 24 04:20 |
cubezzz | Bell Labs style OS | May 24 04:20 |
cubezzz | most folks are not into that | May 24 04:20 |
cubezzz | Patrick Volkerding says he is sticking with a BSD-style of SysV design | May 24 04:22 |
cubezzz | GNOME 3 seems to need systemd | May 24 04:24 |
cubezzz | the other one that keeps popping up is OpenRC | May 24 04:25 |
cubezzz | I mean we don't still use Thompson shell, so new ideas always need to be evalutated | May 24 04:27 |
cubezzz | if it's overly complicated or slow, or hard to maintain then I don't want it | May 24 04:28 |
msb_ | cubezzz: The time may come when I will need to emigrate. Most of my friends are ex-pats. A job with Cubix in Canada would be very nice. | May 24 05:31 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Did you ever see _The Handmaid's Tale_ ? It made a big impression on me. | May 24 05:33 |
cubezzz | Atwood wrote a science fiction novel? Hard to believe | May 24 05:38 |
cubezzz | no, I haven't seen the film or read the book | May 24 05:38 |
msb_ | More political horror than science fiction. | May 24 05:39 |
cubezzz | dystopian | May 24 05:40 |
msb_ | yep. But very good! | May 24 05:49 |
cubezzz | sometimes I wonder what inspired George Orwell to write 1984 | May 24 05:52 |
msb_ | It's certainly all around us now. | May 24 05:55 |
msb_ | https://image.bayimg.com/famedaabb.jpg | May 24 05:56 |
cubezzz | no Thought Police yet :) | May 24 05:57 |
cubezzz | you could argue we have the telescreens though | May 24 06:00 |
XFaCE | [00:55:18]<msb_> [22:35:52] So I'm told. Are the desktop names retained across reboots in xfce? Does it remember the desktop locations of xterms/konsoles/ | May 24 06:00 |
XFaCE | no idea off hand | May 24 06:00 |
XFaCE | never had to think about that | May 24 06:00 |
cubezzz | there's a broader question too re: window managers | May 24 06:01 |
msb_ | The US govt has murdered at least 2,000,000 people A. to maintain US petrodollars and B. to destroy any kind of economy in which the workers get a fair share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP7L8bw5QF4 | May 24 06:02 |

cubezzz | does it retain across switches in wm's? | May 24 06:02 |
cubezzz | msb_, we're going to get off oil one way or the other | May 24 06:03 |
msb_ | Hopefully. But it's not going to happen soon. It's making too much money for the ultra-wealthy. | May 24 06:03 |
cubezzz | msb_, I'm switching into xfce now so I'll be able to answer your question in a minute | May 24 06:04 |
msb_ | The 2,000,000 murders are all since 2001. And the US govt did 9/11 to justify them. | May 24 06:04 |
cubezzz | ha, interesting | May 24 06:05 |
cubezzz | firefox restarts in xfce with the same tabs and info | May 24 06:05 |
msb_ | Sure. It has its own state file. | May 24 06:05 |
msb_ | sessionstore.js | May 24 06:06 |
cubezzz | yes, I delete that sometimes | May 24 06:06 |
cubezzz | ok, xfce does seem to retain the xterm's | May 24 06:06 |
msb_ | You have multiple named virtual desktops running? | May 24 06:07 |
cubezzz | yes, I have multiple-multiple virtual desktops running :) | May 24 06:07 |
cubezzz | fvwm, icewm, KDE, mwm, Ratpoison, xfce 4 and failsafe | May 24 06:09 |
msb_ | What I mean is, when running a single DE, like xfce, do you have multiple desktops in that? | May 24 06:12 |
cubezzz | yes | May 24 06:12 |
cubezzz | but I don't run a single DE usually | May 24 06:12 |
msb_ | And those desktops and their names and contents are preserved across xfce restarts? | May 24 06:13 |
cubezzz | yes | May 24 06:13 |
msb_ | Great! | May 24 06:13 |
cubezzz | I'm still learning new things about KDE 3.X even though I've been using it for 11 years | May 24 06:16 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@stmanfr: @schestowitz @wikileaks_forum Crypto-anarchists thinking about whistleblowing can DEMONSTRATE current centralized methods lead to disasters. | May 24 09:19 | |
roy | [22:39] <DaemonFC> MinceR, It hasn't gotten as bad as the UK though. | May 24 09:19 |
roy | Actuall, the US is worse off. Here there's usually a living wage even for the least paid people | May 24 09:20 |
roy | the issue which remains is zero-hour contracts and need to work to get social benefit that one already paid for while employed | May 24 09:20 |
DaemonFC | you mean like retirement? | May 24 09:21 |
roy | [22:36] <DaemonFC> MinceR, The United States has a LOT of manufacturing left. | May 24 09:21 |
roy | Like prison labour? | May 24 09:21 |
roy | DaemonFC: not retirement, unemployemtn | May 24 09:21 |
roy | to put it simply | May 24 09:21 |
roy | joe works for 10 years | May 24 09:21 |
roy | pays $20,000 in tax | May 24 09:21 |
roy | joe then loses his job | May 24 09:21 |
roy | can't find another | May 24 09:21 |
roy | needs to work for private company for free to get $200 per month from his social program that he was forced to pay into while employed | May 24 09:22 |
roy | and some private company profits from joe's free labour | May 24 09:22 |
DaemonFC | $200? | May 24 09:22 |
DaemonFC | Where do you live on $200? | May 24 09:22 |
roy | just saying, depends on the case | May 24 09:22 |
roy | he'd probably get free housing too | May 24 09:22 |
roy | so think of $50 per week for food etc. | May 24 09:22 |
DaemonFC | there's some of that here | May 24 09:22 |
DaemonFC | yeah, Section 8 housing and food stamps | May 24 09:23 |
roy | anyway, for people who rely on the state tp support them when not self-sufficient or on a payroll is becoming hard | May 24 09:23 |
DaemonFC | No living wage, but you can qualify for low income subsidies if you make minimum wage | May 24 09:23 |
DaemonFC | including the earned income tax credits | May 24 09:23 |
roy | big business are recovering here | May 24 09:23 |
roy | at the expense of the poor | May 24 09:23 |
DaemonFC | same here | May 24 09:24 |
roy | some of whom are forced to work for free for big corporations | May 24 09:24 |
DaemonFC | They're getting record profits on minimum payroll | May 24 09:24 |
roy | interbnments, social programs, etc/ | May 24 09:24 |
roy | interships | May 24 09:24 |
roy | LOL | May 24 09:24 |
roy | not internments :-) | May 24 09:24 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Apparently _The Handmaid's Tale_ is out of print -- $36 from amazon. But a very good online copy -- in the bay -- yo-ho-ho. | May 24 09:24 |
roy | which would be a more suitable term actually | May 24 09:24 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz__, Walmart just opened over 100 new stores while decreasing jobs by like 15,000. | May 24 09:24 |
roy | maybe automatic tills | May 24 09:25 |
DaemonFC | Of course, their sales are starting to go negative, but in the short term it looks good. | May 24 09:25 |
roy | we have more and more of them here | May 24 09:25 |
roy | in the past you could approach a real person | May 24 09:25 |
roy | but they're cutting down on people | May 24 09:25 |
DaemonFC | Yeah, that was all that was open earlier, when I was there. | May 24 09:25 |
DaemonFC | It was packed. | May 24 09:25 |
roy | so waiting time is increasing uunless you work with a machine | May 24 09:25 |
roy | same in the bank I just ditched, NatWest | May 24 09:25 |
DaemonFC | They had one cashier running around trying to fix problems people were having on eight different self-checkouts. | May 24 09:25 |
roy | wow, so walmart gives no option other than machines now? | May 24 09:26 |
roy | I didn't go to asda any time recently and never bought anything there, so I don't know what this wal-mart-owned grocer is doing | May 24 09:26 |
DaemonFC | Well, register 17 has to be open, but that's the only regular checkout that they keep open most of the time now. | May 24 09:26 |
roy | ah, yes | May 24 09:26 |
roy | the person who 'helps' with machines | May 24 09:26 |
DaemonFC | It's always packed with people buying cigarettes because that's the only lane that can sell them. | May 24 09:26 |
roy | I saw that at the airport | May 24 09:26 |
msb_ | Too bad if people spoof the barcodes. | May 24 09:27 |
DaemonFC | When I worked at Walmart, 10 years ago, there were no self checkouts. | May 24 09:27 |
DaemonFC | 10-15 cashiers on at all times. | May 24 09:27 |
DaemonFC | Well, over 4,000 stores, that's a lot of people who are employed. | May 24 09:27 |
msb_ | 45" TV looks like a roll of paper towels. | May 24 09:27 |
schestowitz_log_ | good | May 24 09:27 |
schestowitz_log_ | that's also better service | May 24 09:28 |
schestowitz_log_ | they can answer questions | May 24 09:28 |
schestowitz_log_ | so wal-mart is becoming some kind of self-running business | May 24 09:28 |
DaemonFC | yeah | May 24 09:28 |
DaemonFC | There's now two cashiers. | May 24 09:28 |
schestowitz_log_ | now, if only they could get more automated stocking of shelves | May 24 09:28 |
DaemonFC | The tobacco lane and the self-checkout attendant. | May 24 09:28 |
schestowitz_log_ | So much for "job creators" | May 24 09:28 |
roy | I guess their vision if one of oligarchs and dependends | May 24 09:30 |
roy | one or few people running a centre ofull of machines | May 24 09:30 |
roy | like amazon | May 24 09:30 |
DaemonFC | yeah, thousands and thousands of cashiers jobs, just gone | May 24 09:30 |
roy | and everyone else begging for pennies from them | May 24 09:30 |
roy | I guess they'll find that it leads to violent rebellion | May 24 09:30 |
DaemonFC | Well, they say it helps them keep prices low, as prices increase. | May 24 09:30 |
DaemonFC | :) | May 24 09:30 |
roy | haha | May 24 09:32 |
roy | I heard that from some silly banksters' doorman | May 24 09:32 |
roy | "it's good for you" | May 24 09:32 |
roy | then I lectured him | May 24 09:32 |
roy | he too would be made redundant next | May 24 09:32 |
roy | they don't reduce prices, they improve margins | May 24 09:33 |
roy | by sharing less with their staff | May 24 09:33 |
roy | of which there's less (declining staff)) | May 24 09:33 |
roy | I never knew a store or bank that reduced costs over time | May 24 09:33 |
roy | they use inflation as excuse to always hike prices | May 24 09:33 |
DaemonFC | roy, yeah | May 24 09:34 |
DaemonFC | I just go to Walmart to coupon and stock up and cat litter and stuff. | May 24 09:34 |
roy | we're pushed into it | May 24 09:34 |
roy | I still buy at Sainsbury's for some of their low-cos stuff, but Aldi is the main one and also Cooperative, Wing Yip (for Asian products), and a few others | May 24 09:35 |
roy | Sainsbury's delivers to one's home | May 24 09:35 |
roy | that actually CREATES jobs | May 24 09:35 |
roy | it involved drivers, personal shoppers etc. | May 24 09:35 |
roy | and is more environmentally-friendly | May 24 09:35 |
roy | one truck with many deliveries rather than one car per household | May 24 09:36 |
roy | The till workers are still there | May 24 09:36 |
roy | In fact, it basically offloads the work from the customer | May 24 09:36 |
roy | and creates new jobs | May 24 09:36 |
roy | for small shops it's hard to compete with this, though | May 24 09:36 |
roy | do you have home deliveries in Huntington? | May 24 09:36 |
DaemonFC | nope | May 24 09:39 |
DaemonFC | Well, from Amazon maybe. | May 24 09:39 |
DaemonFC | Walgreens will let you make a shopping list and they'll bag it and ring it up and have it ready when you get to the store. | May 24 09:39 |
roy | amazon is evil stuff | May 24 09:42 |
roy | for many reasons | May 24 09:42 |
roy | and it harms jobs, not creating jobs | May 24 09:42 |
DaemonFC | I heard that they hire more people than they need just so they'll have extras right away when people quit. :P | May 24 09:43 |

schestowitz__ | " | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | This guy is just a troll, but I'm feeling randy so I'll bite. First and foremost: flash is dying. If you're talking about being held back from the future you should be talking about still supporting flash. | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | "I get it, they want to stick with as much open source as possible..." that is by no means the only reason to use Chromium. It is available on more platforms. Chrome is known to have privacy violations that Chromium does not. Chromium is sometimes available from your repo. Etc.. | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | "Because I found it more reliable, up-to-date, and it had more of the plugins I needed." Bullshit, retarded, and false. Chromium is always at least as up-to-date as Chrome, because the updates happen in Chromium first. And they use the same plugins. Reliability is a little harder to prove, but I have seen no difference whatsoever and I have extensive experience with both. This sentence alone proves the guy is either an idiot or, more | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | likely, a bad liar. | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | "I see, all too often, died in the wool open-source users refusing to install software by Google (or other entities), because they don't adhere to the GPL." Really? How many people do you know that shriek in horror when they come across something that is BSD-licensed? | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | "With companies like Google behind it, Linux could take over the world!" It already did precisely that, jackass. Ever heard of Android? Chromebooks? A few feet from me sits a Samsung T.V. my wife bought from WalMart - it runs Linux. Linux runs elevators and road signs. Linux is the most common OS in the world, and most of those installations are in perverted corporate forms. | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | "If Linux doesn't succeed, open source cannot succeed." Can you think of a sentence more obviously false? "open source" is an approach to software development - its fate is absolutely not tied to the fate of one particular kernel. Ever heard of the BSD family? I hear they have some pretty big corporations involved too (Apple). And the Lord knows you'd never get open source software on a closed OS like Windows /sarc. | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | "But if Linux is to win over new users, it cannot, in any way, depend on those new users extracting APIs from one browser and rolling them into another." If those users want/need flash and don't want to use the NAPI plugin and don't want to roll Pepper in, then they can install a browser that does what they need. How is this a problem? Most of my computers have Chromium, Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers installed. I'll play whack- | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | a-browser for the poorly-designed websites (which would include the ones which use flash). | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | "For new users to accept Linux as a desktop platform of choice, said platform needs to work out-of-the-box." Bullshit. Have you ever seen a new user use Ubuntu's flashy package management thing? It's not a problem. | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | "If it means Linux gains more support and a larger install base, how can you not see this as a winning situation?" ... "We had to destroy the village in order to save it." | May 24 17:43 |
schestowitz__ | "Could that "push" actually come from the open-source community itself? I believe so." So now you contradict the entire article up to this point? Awesome. Well I'll tell you what, that extra push would have nothing to do with Flash. | May 24 17:43 |

DaemonFC | MinceR, Losing control of the internet by the people will require the US government to bully other countries into passing the laws it wants them to pass. Simply doing it here only affects people when they're under the jurisdiction of the United States. Like, I can't share some software with you, but you could share it with me, so my government wants your government to make sharing with me illegal for you. | May 24 20:51 |
DaemonFC | Obviously, it would be better if I could stop the US government from doing nasty things to Americans, but failing that, it's in my best interest if your government doesn't cooperate. | May 24 20:53 |
DaemonFC | And it has no reason to cooperate on the terms of "intellectual property" agreements, so the US is sugar coating this crap with "We'll give you access to cheap natural gas that we're poisoning Americans to extract via fracking!". | May 24 20:54 |
DaemonFC | With "intellectual property", Hungary and the EU would mostly be on the losing end, because you'd end up legitimizing American "IP" claims, and getting nothing in return. | May 24 20:55 |
MinceR | indeed | May 24 20:55 |
DaemonFC | Since the United States is already so rotten that it allows foreigners that we have no trade deals with to register things like patents here, and gouge Americans with them. | May 24 20:55 |
MinceR | the EU is also willing to negotiate secret "trade deals" that change its laws | May 24 20:56 |
MinceR | this should be changed | May 24 20:56 |
DaemonFC | So, what we end up with are things like European pharmaceutical companies getting US patents and charging me $600 a month for a drug that costs $50 in Germany. | May 24 20:57 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, Apparently, the US wants to export natural gas to the EU, and I believe that's where the pressure on the EU to sanction Russia is coming from. | May 24 21:06 |
MinceR | it's probably not the only source | May 24 21:07 |
MinceR | not everybody likes the idea of being run over by russians. | May 24 21:07 |
DaemonFC | The US needs somewhere for the excess gas to be sold to, and cutting off Europe from the Russian market makes ours easier to sell. | May 24 21:07 |
MinceR | especially if one's dictator is making deals that favors putin. | May 24 21:07 |
MinceR | and this is not the first time when dependence on russian gas is a huge issue for europe. | May 24 21:08 |
MinceR | they're not trustworthy. | May 24 21:08 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, Neither is the US government. | May 24 21:23 |
MinceR | probably more so than russia, though | May 24 21:23 |
MinceR | plus if the EU can ship gas from the USA via ships, it can ship from almost anywhere | May 24 21:23 |
DaemonFC | Both have a "Give us what we want or we'll hurt you." attitude. | May 24 21:23 |
DaemonFC | Shower you with gifts if you accept the deals. | May 24 21:24 |
MinceR | different standards, though | May 24 21:24 |
DaemonFC | Russia's government is more repressive than ours. | May 24 21:24 |
MinceR | indeed. | May 24 21:24 |
DaemonFC | It doesn't enforce environmental protection standards as well, it cracks down on gay people for what would be first amendment protected speech here. | May 24 21:24 |
DaemonFC | If you protest Putin, then you will go to prison. | May 24 21:25 |
DaemonFC | There's no doubt about it. | May 24 21:25 |
DaemonFC | There's picketers outside the US capital all the time. | May 24 21:25 |

msb_ | Psychopaths have no empathy nor conscience, and many of them *enjoy* harming others and making them suffer. | May 18 13:48 |

DaemonFC | I was discussing DRM on #ubuntu-offtopic. | May 18 19:31 |
DaemonFC | Me: dwatkins, If nothing else, you can take your webcam/cell phone/camcorder/etc and point it at the screen. | May 18 19:31 |
DaemonFC | So, to even pretend that this crap works is just totally stupid, but that's how companies think. | May 18 19:31 |
DaemonFC | Well, Apple took out a patent on recognizing copyrighted material and disabling your iPhone camera a while back. | May 18 19:31 |
DaemonFC | I don't know if the iPhone currently does that, but since there's software updates, any malicious thing it's not doing now could be added later. | May 18 19:31 |
DaemonFC | Like iBeacon was. The hardware was there in iPhone 4, just dormant. | May 18 19:31 |
DaemonFC | It's not too hard to imagine the police sending a signal to shut off your iPhone camera while they're beating you up. It saves them from having to delete the video later, and possibly have the user recover it from the file system. | May 18 19:31 |
DaemonFC | Well, and people being how they are, which is utterly depressing, will accept that abuse the day it arrives. | May 18 19:33 |
DaemonFC | And some will even try to make excuses for a device that is disobeying the owner in even more horrible ways. | May 18 19:33 |

msb_ | The computer was less than a year old, so it was pedophilia. | May 19 08:04 |
Sosumi | well at least he didn't stuff his arss with it | May 19 08:29 |
Sosumi | or just didn't put pictures of himself doing that | May 19 08:31 |
Sosumi | but there is simply no reason to buy a macpro now | May 19 08:34 |
Sosumi | for example | May 19 08:34 |
Sosumi | the D700 firepros on the trashcan (rebranded underclocked 7970) score 3781 on luxmark | May 19 08:35 |
Sosumi | while two 290x score 5058 | May 19 08:36 |
Sosumi | so, whoever goes with the apple option | May 19 08:37 |
Sosumi | you're just overpaying for underclocked hardware | May 19 08:38 |
Sosumi | and now | May 19 08:38 |
Sosumi | outdated gpus | May 19 08:38 |
Sosumi | and that is why the last mac pro tower | May 19 08:39 |
Sosumi | can beat the trashcan | May 19 08:40 |
Sosumi | because it has pci-express slots | May 19 08:40 |

MinceR | yeah, unfortunately | May 20 04:26 |
Snowleaksange | tell those kids to stay off my init.d lawn :) | May 20 04:28 |
msb_ | The cgroups system, which systemd uses, creates groups of processes, each subject to resource limitations and (if desired) collection of information for billing purposes. Apparently the previous system of each process having a unique ID (PID) is abandoned. | May 20 04:43 |
msb_ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups | May 20 04:44 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | cgroups - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | May 20 04:44 | |
MinceR | afaik PIDs are still there | May 20 04:46 |
MinceR | but some new controls are based on cgroups | May 20 04:46 |
msb_ | Then there's KDE4, far more complex than KDE3, but it doesn't give you 20 virtual desktops whose names you can see in the switcher applet so you could switch between desktops rapidly. Multiple desktops to give you separate uncluttered workspaces for your various different activities was one of the great advantages of Linux. Still is, if you use KDE3 or Trinity. | May 20 04:48 |
msb_ | systemd, cgroups, and KDE4 all seem to be governed by the principle that software must continually be "improved", even if that means increase in complexity, and decrease in ease of use. And decrease in people's ability to understand it and fix problems. | May 20 04:56 |
MinceR | also, increasing monolithicity | May 20 04:57 |
msb_ | Yes! | May 20 04:57 |
msb_ | These particular "improvements" -- which show no signs of ever ending -- are like uncontrollable cancers growing on what used to be a simple healthy organism. | May 20 04:59 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Are you there? This is right up your alley! | May 20 05:00 |
msb_ | What happened to the principles of "Keep it simple, stupid" and "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" ? | May 20 05:01 |
Snowleaksange | i just wrote a terminal. now working browser. maybe someday xwm or whole os | May 20 05:03 |
MinceR | :) | May 20 05:03 |
msb_ | Snowleaksange: Good for you! Do these have better security or something? | May 20 05:04 |
Snowleaksange | in some interpretations | May 20 05:04 |
Snowleaksange | its way less lines of source code than alternatives | May 20 05:04 |
msb_ | Nice. | May 20 05:04 |
msb_ | It's fun to write software. But it's not nice to jam it into GNU/Linux if it's not necessary. | May 20 05:07 |
Snowleaksange | it also fetches image links for mouse over image rendering (faster than clicking on clickable url) | May 20 05:07 |
Snowleaksange | probably saves... minutes a day if you visit a lot of image links, which someties i do on chat rooms | May 20 05:08 |
msb_ | On the other hand, some web pages are getting very annoying by doing pop-ups just from moving the cursor over something, without pressing any buttons. Often hides the link you were trying to click on. | May 20 05:10 |
msb_ | IMDB is now doing this. | May 20 05:10 |
msb_ | And I have popup windows blocked in firefox preferences. | May 20 05:12 |
msb_ | I think amazon does it too. | May 20 05:12 |
msb_ | Snowleaksange: Not to detract from your work. I'd just want it switchable. | May 20 05:15 |
msb_ | There are a lot of pages now with popups telling you to inform facebook, tweeter (?), and other social sites about their content. Some of these *hide* the content until you click on an "x" in the corner. | May 20 05:17 |

cubezzz | "Avoid captive user interfaces" | May 20 12:58 |
cubezzz | you've got a generation of *nix folks that don't understand the actual underpinnings of the os | May 20 13:02 |
cubezzz | the KDE4 stuff is just poor, I'm not even going to talk about that | May 20 13:04 |
cubezzz | the first diversion was System V versus BSD | May 20 13:07 |
cubezzz | sockets vs streams, tty vs termio | May 20 13:07 |

cubezzz | in 1998 there was a confidential memo from Microsoft which stated "Linux is on track to eventually own the x86 Unix market" | May 20 13:11 |
cubezzz | so the SVR4 versions of Unix become far less important | May 20 13:12 |
cubezzz | if you want solaris style then there's opensxce | May 20 13:13 |
cubezzz | ok, so to summarize, these are the operating systems that currently have available source code: | May 20 13:16 |
cubezzz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/os-with-source-code.txt | May 20 13:17 |
msb_ | cubezzz: I was specifically talking about systemd, cgroups, and KDE4. With systemd controlling the entire Linux system, taking over the functions of a dozen or more previous separate programs, and keeping its log in binary. | May 20 13:17 |
msb_ | Rather than go back to a much different system like Solaris, it seems to me that just eliminating systemd and KDE4 (or making them optional) would be a good way for a distro to go. | May 20 13:20 |
cubezzz | right, but my point was that these sorts of diversions have occurred before | May 20 13:21 |
cubezzz | I think in Linux you'll always have choices | May 20 13:21 |
msb_ | Yes, but those were years ago and we've gotten used to the additional complications. | May 20 13:21 |
msb_ | Even udev, which does allow you to move disks between ports, or make them plug-in, and keep their same mountpoints in the file system, if I understand correctly. | May 20 13:23 |
<--liberty_back has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | May 20 13:23 | |

msb_ | So far, OpenSuse is still making KDE3 available, and if it doesn't, Trinity seems to be working well for various distros. | May 20 13:24 |
msb_ | I don't know if the KDE4 devs will perversely make their apps stop working with KDE3. | May 20 13:25 |
msb_ | I don't know how much hell cgroups causes, or if it can be dialled down to the standard 32K array of PIDs. | May 20 13:26 |
msb_ | If it can, then the remaining problem is systemd, which a lot of people are objecting to, and which severely violates numerous principles of Unix Philosophy. | May 20 13:27 |
cubezzz | exactly so | May 20 13:27 |
cubezzz | there's CentOS 6, that's got a trinity version | May 20 13:29 |
cubezzz | this is the reason I run old software in tandem with newer distros | May 20 13:29 |
cubezzz | gives one a different perspective | May 20 13:29 |
msb_ | Trinity is available for lots of popular distros: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/ | May 20 13:31 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.trinitydesktop.org | Trinity Desktop Environment | May 20 13:31 | |
cubezzz | hardly anyone runs the Thompson shell but the neat thing is you still can :) | May 20 13:32 |
msb_ | For firing commands rapidly? | May 20 13:33 |
cubezzz | it had one big advantage | May 20 13:34 |
cubezzz | it used less memory than all the other shells | May 20 13:34 |
msb_ | Yes, with source code, and the ability to compile it, and bring in particular libraries -- even old versions of them -- Unix/Linux has a lot of flexibility. | May 20 13:35 |
cubezzz | there used to be a 2^18 addressing limit | May 20 13:35 |
msb_ | Was that from PDP-6 and -10 ? | May 20 13:36 |
cubezzz | PDP-11/40, not sure about PDP-10 off the top of my head | May 20 13:37 |
cubezzz | PDP-7 was the original Unix box | May 20 13:37 |
msb_ | IIRC it had 36-bit words. | May 20 13:37 |
msb_ | Now with single-board-computers able to run Linux for less than $50, small memory size for various softwares could be very useful. | May 20 13:39 |
cubezzz | there's ELKS if you want really really small linux | May 20 13:40 |
cubezzz | just discovered it yesterday :) | May 20 13:40 |
cubezzz | you _had_ to be efficient on the PDP-7 | May 20 13:41 |
cubezzz | my understanding is about Unix is it went like this: | May 20 13:42 |
cubezzz | PDP-7, PDP-11/20, PDP-11/40, PDP-11/45, PDP-11/70 | May 20 13:43 |
msb_ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embeddable_Linux_Kernel_Subset | May 20 13:43 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [ http://ur1.ca/hcp52 ] | May 20 13:43 | |
cubezzz | then v7 was ported to Vax | May 20 13:43 |
msb_ | It looks like ELKS can even run without a memory manager. | May 20 13:44 |
cubezzz | yes, it can run on plain ol' 8086 | May 20 13:44 |
msb_ | The IBM-PC shall rise again! | May 20 13:44 |
cubezzz | PDP-11/45 introduced the MMU I think | May 20 13:46 |
cubezzz | but the PDP-11/40 had a simpler MMU, so I guess that could be the first | May 20 13:46 |
msb_ | Well, that gives hope that even after the Apocalypse, when all semiconductors have been fried, we can still run Linux on 12AX7s. | May 20 13:47 |
cubezzz | PDP-11/10 was interesting: no BIOS or boot rom :) | May 20 13:47 |
msb_ | And, of course, CRTs. | May 20 13:47 |
msb_ | How'd it get started? | May 20 13:48 |
cubezzz | toggle in the bootstrap loader from the front panel | May 20 13:48 |
msb_ | Console switches and paper tape? | May 20 13:48 |
msb_ | Ah, those were the good old days! | May 20 13:49 |
cubezzz | you probably had to toggle stuff in before you could use paper tape | May 20 13:49 |
msb_ | When it was important that console switches had smooth edges to avoid finger abrasion. | May 20 13:49 |
cubezzz | so with the 2^18 limit you had 256K of memory | May 20 13:49 |
msb_ | That should be plenty for anybody. | May 20 13:50 |
cubezzz | well, no giant memory hole for the display :) | May 20 13:51 |
msb_ | Hopefully it had its own address space. | May 20 13:51 |
cubezzz | well they used the DZ11 asynchronous multiplexer with RS232 terminals | May 20 13:53 |
cubezzz | no frame buffer as such | May 20 13:53 |
cubezzz | this is PDP-11/45 Unibus, the original Unix v7 machine | May 20 13:54 |
msb_ | But with a frame buffer you could have 512x256x16bit video, pretty much NTSC quality (if i'm figuring correctly). That | May 20 13:55 |
msb_ | 's adequate for movies. | May 20 13:55 |
msb_ | Although not ideal. | May 20 13:55 |
cubezzz | sure, fine for 4:3 movies :) | May 20 13:55 |
<--abeNd-org has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | May 20 13:56 | |
cubezzz | actually on Q22-bus you could have 1024x864 | May 20 13:57 |
msb_ | When we tell our grandchildren around the campfire about 1920x1080 x264s, they'll just think we're making it up. | May 20 13:57 |
cubezzz | you could run that on PDP 11/83 | May 20 13:59 |
cubezzz | older stuff like PDP-11/45 I don't think there was any way to even have a frame buffer | May 20 13:59 |
cubezzz | there were "intelligent terminals" | May 20 14:02 |
cubezzz | give it another 20 years and kids won't know what a CRT was :) | May 20 14:05 |

msb_ | I wonder if ceramic vacuum-tube triode wafers could be made with photolithography. Layers for cathodes, grids, and anodes, and a couple for interconnects. If they would work with cold cathodes, they wouldn't have to be heated. But I guess that requires high voltage. | May 20 14:25 |
msb_ | Are there semiconductor cathodes that emit electrons into a vacuum? | May 20 14:27 |
msb_ | You could get hundreds of tiny triodes onto a 4" wafer stack. Equal to several MSI chips. We could build a PDP-11! | May 20 14:31 |
msb_ | Immune to EMPs! | May 20 14:32 |

_Goblin | a complete stinker.... | May 20 15:04 |
_Goblin | the only good thing was, unlike a strong gravity well (or quantum singularity) you could actually escape its event horizon by walking out the cinema. | May 20 15:04 |
MinceR | :D | May 20 15:05 |
_Goblin | Sandra wasn't too hot either....her looks seemed to have succumbed to gravity too. | May 20 15:06 |
_Goblin | What is she now? 50? | May 20 15:06 |
msb_ | Wait -- White Noise has Michael Keaton, not Mel Gibson. | May 20 15:06 |
_Goblin | Signs then... | May 20 15:06 |
_Goblin | Stupid aliens.. | May 20 15:07 |
msb_ | That was aliens, not ghosts. | May 20 15:07 |
MinceR | alien ghosts! | May 20 15:07 |
msb_ | Good movie, though. | May 20 15:07 |
_Goblin | but wasn't it a dodgy transmission over the radio on the trailer | May 20 15:07 |
_Goblin | what signs? | May 20 15:07 |
MinceR | wait, lrh invented alien ghosts already. | May 20 15:07 |

_Goblin | well if ghost exist and aliens exist, then you must have ghost aliens. | May 20 15:08 |
_Goblin | or alien ghosts. | May 20 15:08 |
MinceR | :> | May 20 15:08 |
_Goblin | personally I don't believe in either.... | May 20 15:08 |

_Goblin | yeah but in the trailer did you see em? DaemonFC remembers something about radio... | May 20 15:08 |

_Goblin | maybe water as a mixer? | May 20 15:10 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Whose weakness? | May 20 15:11 |
DaemonFC | Signs: "We are aliens who die when exposed to water, so let us try to conquer a planets that's more than two thirds water, where it rains water, and has water vapor in the atmosphere, bwahahahaha!" | May 20 15:11 |
_Goblin | The wicked witch of the west had a weakness to water.......maybe related? | May 20 15:11 |
DaemonFC | That movie sucked. And they managed to inject Gaaaaawd into that as well. | May 20 15:11 |
_Goblin | it wasn't about aliens that movie. | May 20 15:12 |
_Goblin | most people who have an IQ less than 10 saw it as being about aliens...it wasn't. | May 20 15:12 |

_Goblin | It had much resembalance to the crusades also...metaphorically | May 20 15:13 |

_Goblin | even the film title gives it away "Signs" | May 20 15:15 |
msb_ | Crop circles. | May 20 15:15 |
_Goblin | msb_: the inference was religious interpretation... | May 20 15:15 |
_Goblin | And the crop circle was effectively the 666 the number of the beast and all that. | May 20 15:16 |
_Goblin | I'm surprised how many people merely thought this was just a crap alien movie. | May 20 15:16 |
_Goblin | thats why the aliens conquering water planet was so odd. | May 20 15:16 |
Snowleaksange | there's no objective interpretation | May 20 15:16 |

_Goblin | Ok...I think we'll agree to differ on that... | May 20 15:19 |
_Goblin | I don't buy into movies and I'm not the movie buff..... That signs was an obvious piece of religious suck-up was blatant to me....if you saw it as Aliens then fine. | May 20 15:20 |
msb_ | Gibson's faith in life was restored by making a strong effort that defeated the aliens. | May 20 15:20 |
msb_ | Everyone in the movie said it was aliens. | May 20 15:20 |
_Goblin | since when has a Hollywood actor been any sort of authority on anything other than gross excess? | May 20 15:21 |

msb_ | UEFI is the new bios system MS is pushing that prevents any OS other than the one specified by the mfr (Windows) from running. | May 20 16:00 |
sebsebseb | mfr? mbr? | May 20 16:00 |
msb_ | MS wants UEFI to kill Linux. | May 20 16:00 |
cubezzz | there's chromebooks and lemote, both have bios source code | May 20 16:00 |
msb_ | mfr - manufacturer | May 20 16:01 |
sebsebseb | msb_: right, but your saying core boot won't support UEFI ? | May 20 16:01 |
sebsebseb | anyway let's say someone puts on a 100% free software distro, since they want compelte freedom, right ok | May 20 16:01 |
cubezzz | there's an open source implementation of UEFI :) | May 20 16:01 |
sebsebseb | or pretty much complete freedom | May 20 16:01 |
cubezzz | it's called TianoCore | May 20 16:01 |
sebsebseb | it seems to me that then replaceing the bios with coreboot is like taking everything to the next level | May 20 16:01 |
amarsh04 | restart time, rebuilt a new kernel after Linus Torvalds returned from his week off and posted a relatively small lot updates | May 20 16:01 |
msb_ | sebsebseb: I suppose it will, but A. I don't need UEFI and B. my presne bios works fine, so I'm not gonna fuck with it. | May 20 16:02 |
sebsebseb | isn't it good enough running a 100% free OS? why o the bios as well? why go to the next level seriosuly? | May 20 16:02 |
sebsebseb | why mess with the bios, when you know your computer can go quite wrong if it messes up/? | May 20 16:02 |
<--amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | May 20 16:02 | |
sebsebseb | why not leave it as the propritar bios? when got those concerns, but no those that really do want compelte freedom will replace the bios to or try to | May 20 16:03 |
cubezzz | socketed bios can be re-programmed | May 20 16:03 |
<--_Goblin has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | May 20 16:03 | |
sebsebseb | and I think that may e taking software freedom to the extreame | May 20 16:03 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: what do you mean by socketed bios? | May 20 16:03 |

sebsebseb | hmm reay no MinceR ?l | May 20 16:04 |
cubezzz | so you can removed it, replace it | May 20 16:04 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: the like haing two bios's thin or whatever osmeone said to me beore | May 20 16:04 |
sebsebseb | so if it goes wrong installing core boot | May 20 16:04 |
sebsebseb | still got a bios? | May 20 16:04 |
cubezzz | no | May 20 16:04 |
cubezzz | you take it out and reprogram it when necessary | May 20 16:05 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: huh? | May 20 16:05 |
schestowitz__ | https://joindiaspora.com/posts/4121449 | May 20 16:05 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: or you take it out and install core boot if you want to, is that you mean? | May 20 16:05 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: I most honestly like @JonoBacon but what if I could offer improvement to his approach, it would be reduction of hypocrisy. #openrespect | May 20 16:05 | |

I'm sure you're a nice man and stuff." | May 20 16:05 |
cubezzz | sebsebseb, if you want to try coreboot the easy way is to buy a chromebook | May 20 16:06 |
cubezzz | it's a lot of work understanding the motherboard well enough to add coreboot if it's not supported | May 20 16:06 |
msb_ | sebsebseb: I use what works best. The nvidia driver works well and has a nice adjuster. Flash is shit but lots of websites use it. | May 20 16:06 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: ok the easy way, but those who want complete freedom on their standard non chromebook or lemote, I guess may try andinstall it on there replaceing the propritary bios? and I am saying that's taking software freedom to the extremae really? | May 20 16:06 |
sebsebseb | why mess with something as valuble as the bios realy, most people woudn't, but those who want complete freedom, oh yeah they may | May 20 16:07 |
cubezzz | no, I would't say it's extreme | May 20 16:07 |
-->amarsh04 (~amarsh04@2001:44b8:61::d) has joined #techrights | May 20 16:07 | |
cubezzz | building your own computer from stratch, that's extreme :) | May 20 16:07 |
sebsebseb | I mean the averaege computer user who likes free software won't touch the bios probaby | May 20 16:07 |
cubezzz | well there are firmware updates | May 20 16:07 |
sebsebseb | those running a 100% free software distro, probably most won't replace the propritary bios on the machine as well, or try to with a free one | May 20 16:07 |
cubezzz | FSF does | May 20 16:08 |
cubezzz | they run coreboot | May 20 16:08 |
sebsebseb | yes those really into software freedom wll try and replace the bios lie I just said | May 20 16:08 |
sebsebseb | ,but everyone else uh no | May 20 16:08 |
sebsebseb | and that's my point | May 20 16:08 |
sebsebseb | those who are so sucked into sofftware freedom, but the reset well no | May 20 16:08 |
cubezzz | I'd rather know what it's doing | May 20 16:09 |
sebsebseb | well sure, but my point is most computer users won't take things to the next level by trying to replace the propritary bios with a free one | May 20 16:09 |
amarsh04 | I think that coreboot is worthwhile... just wish that I could get hold of a decent motherboard that supported it | May 20 16:09 |
sebsebseb | ,because they will beworriedit goes wrong and computer ismsesed up, and they know it's not like doing a OS, for those that even try | May 20 16:09 |
sebsebseb | or want to | May 20 16:09 |
cubezzz | I've botched coreboot up many times | May 20 16:10 |
sebsebseb | It's a good project sure, but it's not one for most LInux users at the moment, and that's my point | May 20 16:10 |
cubezzz | until I learned enough to get it working | May 20 16:10 |
amarsh04 | motherboards that incorporate a dual bios arrangement would be a good start | May 20 16:10 |
sebsebseb | most LInux users would be to scared to even try installing core boot replaceing the propritary bios of the computer | May 20 16:10 |
sebsebseb | ,but those into software freedom enough, oh they will be doingit sure, and that's my point | May 20 16:10 |
sebsebseb | ,but as one of the people who won't even try and replace the bios at the moment, I think it's like taking things to the next level trying to do that | May 20 16:11 |
sebsebseb | get me now? | May 20 16:11 |
abeNd-org | msb_ the current system we use is cassie from http://www.librarica.com/, it integrates fully into the opensource evergreen ILS (library database, all the materials & library cards), it allows the patrons to log into the computer using their library card as the userid, they can reserve computers if they want to, etc | May 20 16:11 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.librarica.com | CASSIE and SPOT - Public Computer and Printer Management | May 20 16:11 | |
amarsh04 | one would need to be running more than one machine, but that's what I'm doing already - having 2 machines is great for getting out of sticky situations | May 20 16:11 |
sebsebseb | most people don't care enough about the bios to try and replace it with a free one, that's another point I am pmaking | May 20 16:12 |
amarsh04 | and if I get a new machine I'd try to get something that supported coreboot and get that running on it first | May 20 16:12 |
sebsebseb | ,but those who care enough, generally care so much about software freedom, that they aren't the average free software user | May 20 16:12 |
cubezzz | it's not just coreboot | May 20 16:12 |
amarsh04 | I haven't caught up with efi yet | May 20 16:12 |
abeNd-org | im sure most would be willing to flash their linksys router with ddwrt, but not their computer's bios with something opensource | May 20 16:13 |
cubezzz | Sun had openboot | May 20 16:13 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: bingo that's the point I am making | May 20 16:13 |
cubezzz | PDP's had open firmware too | May 20 16:13 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: ,but why and so on and uh | May 20 16:13 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: they will switch to a LINUX DISTRO, they may do the router, but the bios wil be left alone | May 20 16:13 |
sebsebseb | only those who are really into this kindof stuff, even try and change the bio | May 20 16:13 |
sebsebseb | s | May 20 16:13 |
sebsebseb | and everyone else no | May 20 16:13 |
abeNd-org | sebsebseb: vendor support, you do that to your nice dell desktop/laptop & you have voided all warranty, even hardrive/etc, but no one cares about voiding the warranty on a linksys router with ddwrt | May 20 16:14 |
sebsebseb | just like only usually those who really care so much about the ethics of software freedom run 100% free softare LInuxdistro | May 20 16:14 |
sebsebseb | no flash no this nad that, everyone else, well things like FLash they will install basially and yeah | May 20 16:14 |
cubezzz | also... | May 20 16:14 |
cubezzz | OPLC has open firmware | May 20 16:14 |
cubezzz | I'm sure I could name more examples | May 20 16:15 |
cubezzz | IBM power... | May 20 16:15 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: cubezzz and only those who care so much about it, correct people usauly wnen they say LInux, and they are like no it's GNU/Linux | May 20 16:15 |
abeNd-org | besides, ive not had issues running SuSE on my dell servers, even with the latest bios updates, so i dont see how that is stopping linux on the server side | May 20 16:15 |
cubezzz | but I don't say that sebsebseb | May 20 16:16 |
cubezzz | I run a bunch of different OSes | May 20 16:16 |
sebsebseb | some people care so much about all this that, they are obbssed with it | May 20 16:16 |
sebsebseb | NO it mst be GNU | May 20 16:16 |
sebsebseb | no LInuxwithout the GNU | May 20 16:16 |
sebsebseb | oh geez no don't run a propiray bios, must be core boot | May 20 16:16 |
cubezzz | strawman argument | May 20 16:16 |
sebsebseb | no no running WIndows is so bad, no no Mac is so bad | May 20 16:16 |
cubezzz | which I never made | May 20 16:16 |
sebsebseb | yes Stallman is the great example of what I ma saying | May 20 16:16 |
MinceR | > "- i'd like to get a mousepad for my mac. - yes, this seems like a fair trade" | May 20 16:17 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: yes you didn't , but wI want to talk a bit about this stuff in a talk | May 20 16:17 |
sebsebseb | that's why I am thinking about it | May 20 16:17 |
sebsebseb | what to say etc | May 20 16:17 |
abeNd-org | most people could care less about the distinctions | May 20 16:17 |
sebsebseb | how to like make people think intereseting, but without thinking ike oh those people are nuts | May 20 16:17 |
sebsebseb | I want to look at the people who don't care as much | May 20 16:17 |
sebsebseb | to those that do | May 20 16:17 |
sebsebseb | and a bit aout myself and so on | May 20 16:17 |
sebsebseb | ,but to an aduaince of people who aren't reall into computers most of them, so it's like hwat to say, how to say it | May 20 16:17 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: the distinctions the so called correct way of saying things is that what you mean? | May 20 16:18 |
sebsebseb | abeNd-org: oh and openSUSE well some would attack you for that, since the MIcrooft deal, incluing MinceR | May 20 16:18 |
sebsebseb | there's that kind of thing to, oh no Microsofot is linked to that, it's so bad, well here's one such example, some companies are in a group now so money anbe used, if heartbleed issues happen agian | May 20 16:19 |
sebsebseb | one such company is Microsoft, no APple in there htough | May 20 16:19 |
abeNd-org | well the business apps customers run are certified on SLES, so that is what i use (not even opensuse), customer wants vendor certification for their business apps, so its either windows or SLES (sometimes rhel) | May 20 16:19 |
sebsebseb | now is that a bad thing that Microsoft put them selves in a group, of companies like that | May 20 16:19 |
cubezzz | my advice to anyone is to read history | May 20 16:20 |
DaemonFC | why is the green light on my phone flashing for no reason? | May 20 16:20 |
cubezzz | or watch some of Moglen's videos | May 20 16:20 |
cubezzz | or read what Moglen wrote about copyright | May 20 16:21 |
abeNd-org | but the average human doesnt care about linux/gnu/bsd/windows/etc, they just want their facebook & photosharing to work, they could care less if it was on internet explorer, firefox, chrome, etc | May 20 16:21 |

_Goblin | I suppose I'm a customer (albeit not a company) I'm 98% on the cloud | May 20 16:49 |
_Goblin | Storage wise (for my documents) I'm sort of hybrid since this device can work offline with my docs and syncs them when available. | May 20 16:50 |
_Goblin | 100gb of storage - that covers all my family snaps.....Docs don't use up the space...I think it's great. | May 20 16:51 |
cubezzz | people (still) aren't backing up their data | May 20 16:52 |
abeNd-org | thats ok, most data really isnt all that important | May 20 16:52 |

cubezzz | well, I assume folks want to keep their photos | May 20 16:53 |
abeNd-org | *shrug* if they do, then they should back them up, if not, then they werent important to begin with | May 20 16:53 |
_Goblin | I've lost more photo's through local storage than I care to remember... | May 20 16:54 |
_Goblin | at least with Google I've had them on the drive for a long while, no issues. | May 20 16:55 |
abeNd-org | i have mine "backed up" locally, onedrive (225gb space) & bittorrentsync to an external drive | May 20 16:55 |
_Goblin | and if the government want to look through them, then fine as long as they don't mess up the organization. | May 20 16:55 |
abeNd-org | if i manage to lose it in all 3 places, well, it wasnt all that important to begin with :P | May 20 16:55 |
_Goblin | I was burned by an external drive.... | May 20 16:56 |
_Goblin | maybe my backup routine was lacking.... | May 20 16:56 |
_Goblin | but then you just don't see how fragile things are until its too late. | May 20 16:56 |
cubezzz | well no system is perfect, some of my kodachrome slides have deteriorated | May 20 16:56 |
abeNd-org | _goblin when all that nsa snooping first broke schestowitz took one of my quotes along the lines of "fine, make a copy of all my stuff, but at least give me access to it as a backup" | May 20 16:57 |
cubezzz | mostly the ones from the mid-70s | May 20 16:57 |
cubezzz | old film can have vinegar syndrome | May 20 16:57 |
_Goblin | abeNd-org: I'd agree....It would be less a bitter pill to swallow if I can grab a backup should things get deleted. | May 20 16:57 |
abeNd-org | yep, if we could get something for our money out of it... | May 20 16:58 |
_Goblin | but then we all store data on the cloud....of sorts.... | May 20 16:58 |
abeNd-org | just setup owncloud or something as a front end & give us all logins :P | May 20 16:58 |
_Goblin | thats another plus of gdrive...I can share it with anyone. | May 20 16:58 |
_Goblin | so its handy when relatives have photo's to upload. | May 20 16:59 |
abeNd-org | yea, dropbox & im pretty sure onedrive allow that too | May 20 16:59 |
abeNd-org | & for corporate use I use Novell Filr for that, works great | May 20 17:00 |
abeNd-org | ^since it works against edir/ad/ldap | May 20 17:01 |
_Goblin | I won't use dropbox....appart from the management issues its not integrated on this Chromebook like gdrive. | May 20 17:01 |
abeNd-org | i havent played with a chromebook really as of yet | May 20 17:01 |

_Goblin | cubezzz: no.....don't need particularly. | May 20 17:04 |
cubezzz | I hope it doesn't backup the spam :-P | May 20 17:05 |

msb_ | sebsebseb: Seems to me that you would want to talk about the advantages of Linux over Windows and Mac. In addition to reliability, one of the big advantages is multiple virtual desktops (if you use a DE that supports them). You can have one desktop for Mail, one for Music, one for Photos, etc., as many as 20 of them, and in each one you only have the programs for that particular activity, so your screen is never cluttered with programs | May 20 18:30 |
msb_ | you're not using. This is viewed by many Linux power users as one of the greatest advantages of Linux. | May 20 18:30 |
msb_ | sebsebseb: KDE3 and Trinity (TDE) supports this. Perhaps there are others. | May 20 18:32 |
msb_ | sebsebseb: Each desktop has at the bottom a little applet listing the names of all the desktops, and to switch to a different one you only have to click on the name of the one you want to go to. | May 20 18:34 |

msb_ | The population of California is gradually being displaced by Mexican nationals. | May 20 19:49 |
msb_ | Consequently, Asian and Italian food is disappearing from stores like Costco. | May 20 19:50 |
msb_ | However there is one type of food that is now appearing everywhere, and that is tilapia fish. | May 20 19:51 |
msb_ | Tilapia is the only fish in the known universe that has "loins". | May 20 19:51 |

DaemonFC | msb_, So I've started drinking water from those vending machines after the "there's shit in your water but we didn't tell you for a week" ordeal. | May 22 14:21 |
DaemonFC | The reverse osmosis, carbon filter, UV sterilization system... | May 22 14:22 |
msb_ | Maybe that's what made you sick. | May 22 14:22 |
msb_ | You can get a water distiller for $160, which distills a gallon of water in about 4 hours at a cost of about 40 cents for electricity. Takes out everything. ans sterilizes too. | May 22 14:23 |
msb_ | ans -> and | May 22 14:24 |
msb_ | Also takes out fluoride, which is very toxic. | May 22 14:25 |
DaemonFC | msb_, I'd assume that the reverse osmosis system removes most of the fluoride anyway. | May 22 14:30 |
DaemonFC | According to my total dissolved solids readings, the tap water here rates about 400 on most of the samples I've taken. | May 22 14:31 |
DaemonFC | The stuff out of the water vending machine at Walmart scored 17, Kroger North was 15, Kroger South was 29. | May 22 14:31 |
DaemonFC | So, reverse osmosis does a pretty good job, it seems. | May 22 14:31 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Hard to say. If the RO membrane has a pinhole, all bets are off. But the distiller is under your control and takes out everything. | May 22 14:32 |
DaemonFC | Those are very effective filters, and they last for years. They backflush themselves to get rid of the crap they filtered out, so they're self-cleaning for the most part. | May 22 14:32 |
DaemonFC | They probably only need to replace the filter about every year or so.... | May 22 14:33 |
DaemonFC | (commercial vending machine, lots of use) | May 22 14:33 |
DaemonFC | Well, I'll just keep using the vending machine at Walmart or Kroger North. | May 22 14:33 |

DaemonFC | Mostly calcium, dirt, and rust and maybe a little lead from old decaying water pipes. | May 22 14:35 |
msb_ | Fluoride is a very small molecule (single atom ion, really), so hard to get rid of. | May 22 14:35 |
DaemonFC | The last time the city did a major overhaul of the water delivery system here was in the 1970s. | May 22 14:35 |

DaemonFC | My city doesn't fluoridate. There's so much farm runoff that the water has more than the government requires. | May 22 14:37 |

DaemonFC | Apple alone avoids paying $2.8 billion in federal taxes alone each year, not counting state taxes. Their headquarters is in California, but they avoid California taxes by registering a small office in Nevada as their "official headquarters". With this money, they stash it in Luxembourg, a tax haven, where they use it to buy US government debt, which pays them interest on the taxes they avoided. It's estimated that Apple now owns over $100 bi | May 22 15:34 |
DaemonFC | llion of interest-bearing US government debt. About 10% as much as the government of China. Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, said that "It's no Apple's problem to fix America's problems", and of course he was referring to the unpaid taxes and all of the jobs that Apple outsourced to third world countries. Apple shut down their last plant building Mac computers in 2002. The jobs paid over $12 an hour in 2002 dollars. They recently brought a few back to | May 22 15:34 |

Most of the jobs created are high tech jobs in Europe (largely Germany), which fund advanced college education for their citizens as a social benefit, and assembly operations in China. Apple is one of the most socially irresponsible companies in tech. Their | May 22 15:34 |
DaemonFC | assembly factories in China usually have several workers committing suicide every day to escape 70+ hour work weeks with unpaid overtime, where the company docks most of their pay for bad food and lice-infested overcrowded dorms. Apple was also a pioneer in convincing people that they don't need freedom if they call the computer a phone. Apple devices don't allow the user the freedom to install non-Apple approved software. This allows price | May 22 15:34 |

msb_ | Sosumi: A. You must lead a very sheltered life. B. It was a disgusting thing done by Apple, so it should not be buried. | May 22 15:49 |
DaemonFC | msb_, The figures I see suggest that reverse osmosis gets out 65-90% of the fluoride from water. | May 22 15:50 |
DaemonFC | That's certainly an improvement. | May 22 15:50 |
DaemonFC | It depends on the actual filter though. | May 22 15:50 |

DaemonFC | msb_, I can buy water from the vending machine for 37 cents a gallon, and it only takes about 20 seconds to fill each bottle. | May 22 16:09 |
msb_ | So you are trusting not only the corporation, but the pimple-face kid they are paying $4.50/hour to follow their instructions. | May 22 16:10 |
DaemonFC | $4.50 an hour? | May 22 16:10 |
DaemonFC | Huh? | May 22 16:10 |
msb_ | Not that much, eh? | May 22 16:11 |
DaemonFC | That's below the minimum wage. | May 22 16:11 |
abeNd-org | why should you get paid anyways? | May 22 16:13 |
abeNd-org | companies should just stop paying everyone | May 22 16:13 |
DaemonFC | Let what's left of the economy fall apart? | May 22 16:14 |
cubezzz | go back to barter system :) | May 22 16:14 |
DaemonFC | $7.25 an hour isn't enough to live on in the cheapest part of the United States, even if you get full time hours. | May 22 16:14 |
abeNd-org | no no, do what the democrats really want - everything is free | May 22 16:14 |
DaemonFC | abeNd-org, Well, the very rich want the system we had in the 1920s. | May 22 16:15 |
DaemonFC | And they've finally almost gotten us there. | May 22 16:15 |
abeNd-org | financial collapse? | May 22 16:15 |
DaemonFC | For everyone but themselves, sure. | May 22 16:15 |
DaemonFC | They caused the collapse intentionally. | May 22 16:15 |
abeNd-org | well great, then they can pay for everything | May 22 16:16 |
DaemonFC | They knew exactly how to make money and get their own money out before it all fell over. | May 22 16:16 |
DaemonFC | Just like they've done several times since then. | May 22 16:16 |
abeNd-org | sure, if they want this that to happen, what do they actually get out of it? | May 22 16:16 |
abeNd-org | richer yes, but everyone else out of work & dirt poor doesnt get them paid to buy goods to get the rich richer | May 22 16:17 |

cubezzz | no bad for 1972! | May 22 16:25 |

DaemonFC | abeNd-org, What we have here is basically a rent extraction system. | May 22 16:30 |
DaemonFC | The rich are parasites on working people. | May 22 16:31 |
DaemonFC | Bankers, landlords, payday loan companies, subprime car loans.... | May 22 16:31 |
DaemonFC | check cashing services | May 22 16:31 |
DaemonFC | They're all enabled by bad employers like Walmart that pay, you know, about $8 an hour. | May 22 16:31 |
DaemonFC | And people work there as they get poorer and poorer. These people have way less than nothing. | May 22 16:32 |
DaemonFC | The alternative is stop working and starve immediately. | May 22 16:32 |
DaemonFC | Thanks to engineered high unemployment, people are coerced into working bad jobs that don't pay the bills. | May 22 16:32 |
DaemonFC | The employer basically gets labor that costs next to nothing, where the employee and taxpayers are covering the cost of their labor. | May 22 16:33 |
DaemonFC | To reverse this system, the minimum wage must increase, and it must be indexed to inflation. | May 22 16:33 |
DaemonFC | Some state and local governments are starting to realize that the federal minimum wage is making their state economies and tax revenues get scary-bad, and they're taking action themselves. | May 22 16:34 |
abeNd-org | right, but the people would eventually get the point where they have absolutely nothing | May 22 16:48 |
abeNd-org | and thats when they riot & kill the rich | May 22 16:48 |
amarsh04 | that's what happens in Australia DaemonFC... schestowitz has reported on the minimum wage in Australia before | May 22 16:50 |
schestowitz__ | it's not too bad in the UJ | May 22 16:54 |
schestowitz__ | UK | May 22 16:54 |
schestowitz__ | But there's a snag | May 22 16:54 |
schestowitz__ | some get zero-hour contracts | May 22 16:54 |
schestowitz__ | so even at minimum rate for hour they're not guaranteed minimum income | May 22 16:54 |
schestowitz__ | and can be counted as "employed" nonetheless | May 22 16:55 |
schestowitz__ | abeNd-org: correct, and that's why the rich are afraid and keep insecurity high, but not TOO high | May 22 16:56 |

DaemonFC | msb_, Well, I have a hard time buying the water fluoridation as a public health benefit story. | May 22 17:22 |
DaemonFC | The government in the US doesn't do anything it doesn't have to for the poor. | May 22 17:23 |
MinceR | i have a hard time buying water fluoridation as a conspiracy theory story :> | May 22 17:23 |
DaemonFC | And if fluoridation is so good for your teeth, then why do many people my age have rotting/disgusting/missing teeth? | May 22 17:23 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, It's a byproduct of the aluminum and fertilizer industries. | May 22 17:24 |
MinceR | still, i think putting fluoride in toothpaste is a far better delivery method | May 22 17:24 |
MinceR | DaemonFC: that sounds more credible indeed. | May 22 17:24 |
DaemonFC | They convinced the public that it could be dumped in the water to help your teeth so that they could get rid of it. | May 22 17:24 |
msb_ | It was known that the Nazis had put fluoride in the prison water in WW2. | May 22 17:24 |
DaemonFC | Instead of having to pay someone to dispose of it somewhere, they get taxpayers to pay them for their waste, so it can be dumped into the water. | May 22 17:25 |
DaemonFC | And it's not the same fluoride that's in your toothpaste. | May 22 17:25 |
DaemonFC | The shit they dump in the water is Hexafluorosilicic acid, not sodium fluoride, in most places. | May 22 17:25 |
DaemonFC | The government can get hexafluorosilicic acid much cheaper, so that's what they tend to use. | May 22 17:26 |
MinceR | it is also known that hitler consumed DHMO. | May 22 17:27 |

<--siel has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) | May 22 17:29 | |
MinceR | DaemonFC: how well known/proven is it that the fluoride level in water is high due to industrial contamination, as opposed to natural (mineral?) sources? | May 22 17:29 |
DaemonFC | msb_, Well, I think part of the reason that tap water is so disgusting is because of the bottled water companies. | May 22 17:29 |
DaemonFC | They said it was their goal all along to make tap water something you just flush the toilet and do your dishes with. | May 22 17:30 |
MinceR | :> | May 22 17:30 |
DaemonFC | They don't want it to be fit for drinking, else they can't sell you theirs. | May 22 17:30 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, When I get my water report from the city each year, they say they don't have to add fluoride because there's so much from fertilizer runoff in the water aquifer supplying our area anyway. | May 22 17:30 |
MinceR | ic | May 22 17:31 |
DaemonFC | There's a copy of it on the city website. | May 22 17:31 |

DaemonFC | MinceR, Plus, the total dissolved solids level is pretty high, by tap water standards. | May 22 17:33 |
msb_ | So if you think Hitler was concerned with the prisoners dental health, then you can believe the same about your govt. | May 22 17:33 |
DaemonFC | Lots of lime, mostly. | May 22 17:33 |
DaemonFC | msb_, Well, the Nazis weren't concerned about the dental health of their Jewish prisoners. | May 22 17:34 |
DaemonFC | They were ripping their teeth out to get their gold fillings before they gassed them to death. | May 22 17:34 |
MinceR | my government is emulating hitler but afaik they aren't fluoridating the tap water yet | May 22 17:34 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, Maybe Hungaristan doesn't have the kind of heavy industry that produces the shit. | May 22 17:34 |
MinceR | indeed | May 22 17:35 |
DaemonFC | So, they'd have to buy it from somewhere. | May 22 17:35 |
msb_ | So why did hitler put in the fluoride? | May 22 17:35 |
MinceR | hungaristan doesn't have much in the way of heavy industry to speak of | May 22 17:35 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, It sounds like one of those European states where the main industry is printing money. | May 22 17:35 |
MinceR | the commies made sure pretty much none of the hungarian industry remained competitive, and then it was mostly shut down during the republic. | May 22 17:35 |

DaemonFC | Despite the outsourcing. | May 22 17:36 |
MinceR | they'll need it too, if they continue degrading their education :> | May 22 17:36 |
DaemonFC | The outsourcing mostly got rid of what couldn't be highly automated, and therefore required a lot of menial labor. | May 22 17:36 |
DaemonFC | Actually, it's getting to the point where you need some college or vocational training to get an entry level manufacturing job. | May 22 17:37 |
DaemonFC | But, the state and federal governments are not investing in American students. | May 22 17:37 |
DaemonFC | They're spending all this time and money bringing in foreigners and giving them highly valued skills, so that they can go back to where they came from and compete with Americans for skilled jobs. | May 22 17:38 |
DaemonFC | And while they're here, OUR government is spending OUR money to give them free shit. | May 22 17:38 |
DaemonFC | food stamps | May 22 17:39 |
DaemonFC | public housing | May 22 17:39 |
DaemonFC | education subsidies | May 22 17:39 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, It hasn't gotten as bad as the UK though. | May 22 17:39 |
DaemonFC | If schestowitz started talking bad about the invasion, his government would arrest him for being impolite or something | May 22 17:39 |
DaemonFC | But while all this shit is going on, I know plenty of Americans who can't get help with college and end up working dead end service jobs and can't even pay their fucking rent. | May 22 17:40 |
DaemonFC | That's why I said that half of Congress needs to be in prison, and the other half should be shot. | May 22 17:41 |
DaemonFC | If our government was worried about us, it would be taking care of American citizens first. | May 22 17:42 |

cubezzz | I mean, sure the situation is not ideal, but it's not impossible to get a laptop with linux on it | May 22 17:49 |

DaemonFC | msb_, Another reason to drink distilled or reverse osmosis filtered water is the shit that hard water leaves on your teeth. | May 22 19:13 |

<--magneeto has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) | May 22 20:19 | |
DaemonFC | Debian isn't recommended because it does offer some nonfree software. | May 22 21:07 |
DaemonFC | The FSF's guidelines say that they won't endorse a distribution that provides it in such a way that it makes it seem like it's recommended. | May 22 21:07 |
DaemonFC | So, if Debian stopped packaging it, but someone else provided it unofficially, then that would make Debian eligible for an endorsement. | May 22 21:08 |
DaemonFC | The key difference being is whether the distribution seems to suggest installing it or not. | May 22 21:08 |
DaemonFC | There's no requirement that it actively prevents you from installing nonfree software. | May 22 21:08 |
DaemonFC | Fedora doesn't qualify, but it is more free than Debian in the way the FSF has chosen to define it. | May 22 21:09 |
DaemonFC | Fedora doesn't package nonfree software, but it does include some device firmware that comes with the Linux kernel, which is under a binary-only redistributable license. | May 22 21:10 |
DaemonFC | They don't consider it to be software, because it doesn't run on the main CPU. | May 22 21:10 |
DaemonFC | Well, except for the CPU firmware, but that's not a big deal since your BIOS already loads nonfree firmware onto the CPU. | May 22 21:11 |
DaemonFC | All Fedora does is tell the CPU to unload the firmware that the BIOS downloaded onto it and replace it with more up-to-date firmware, which can fix processor bugs. | May 22 21:11 |
DaemonFC | The FSF has said that they wouldn't consider software running on these components to be software if it was burned into a ROM instead, which would effectively make it like a circuit. | May 22 21:12 |
DaemonFC | But, then you can never fix bugs. | May 22 21:12 |
DaemonFC | You'd end up with situations like the Pentium fdiv problem, where Intel had to recall the CPUs themselves. | May 22 21:13 |
DaemonFC | Although, sometimes it was possible to fix a CPU bug by putting a workaround in the operating system to prevent the CPU from entering a state where the bug would happen. | May 22 21:15 |
DaemonFC | The Cyrix Coma Bug is a good example of that. | May 22 21:16 |

DaemonFC | I was talking about all the video games coming to GNU/Linux on Facebook. | May 23 15:15 |
DaemonFC | Someone said that GNU/Linux is a small part of the "market", so I said.... | May 23 15:15 |
DaemonFC | Enough people have moved from Windows to GNU/Linux that game developers are starting to notice. The people who made the first wave of migration to GNU/Linux on the desktop still represent a small share of total computer users, but we are also the most profitable users for video game companies, because we tend to be a technical bunch that know what we're doing. | May 23 15:16 |
DaemonFC | Valve noticed that many of their "Windows XP" users were actually running Steam for Windows in Wine (software) on GNU/Linux (Wine reports itself as Windows XP by default), so Valve ported Steam to GNU/Linux, along with a bunch of games. | May 23 15:16 |
DaemonFC | So, that explains why video game companies highly prize GNU/Linux users. | May 23 15:16 |
DaemonFC | It's like saying that a restaurant has a loyalty club that gives you a free meal every fifth time you go in there. Obviously, it benefits the people who eat there very often more than it benefits the people that hardly ever go in. So, you may only benefit 5-10% of your customers, but those are your highly loyal customers who represent 60% of your restaurant's profit. | May 23 15:16 |
DaemonFC | There's been two big migration events to GNU/Linux. The first wave was when Windows Vista came out and it was slow, unusable garbage, even on a brand new PC. It crashed all the time, and everyone thought it was so awful that many people exercised downgrade rights to XP, or bought a copy of XP and replaced Vista with it (thus paying for Windows twice!), or made the switch to GNU/Linux, even if their favorite apps weren't there, and just made | May 23 15:20 |
DaemonFC | the best of Wine because it was still less painful than Vista. | May 23 15:20 |
DaemonFC | And, that was the wave that I was in, where I got rid of Windows and just started using GNU/Linux basically all the time. | May 23 15:20 |
DaemonFC | Then Windows 7 settled everything down for a while because it fixed most of the horrible things about Vista, but now Windows 8 is causing the second migration because it's completely horrible again. | May 23 15:21 |

DaemonFC | They would hoard ketchup packets, napkins, and straws that they got at McDonalds. | May 23 15:27 |
DaemonFC | They had a bunch of towels with hotel names on them. | May 23 15:27 |
DaemonFC | Rich people really are terrible. Millions of dollars in the bank, steals a towel and ketchup packets. WTF? | May 23 15:27 |
DaemonFC | She said that the guy used to sit there in the kitchen filling his ketchup bottles from the restaurant packets. | May 23 15:28 |

DaemonFC | I didn't notice any real difference between five blade and three blade, other than the five blade costs twice as much. | May 23 15:37 |
DaemonFC | More really, because Gillette releases these $3 off coupons. That makes the Sensor 3 $1.98 for a 4 pack, but the Fusion disposables are still $8.98 for four. | May 23 15:38 |
DaemonFC | They put the picture of the expensive razors on the coupon, but it says "any Gillette men's razors", so they work on the Sensor 3's as well. | May 23 15:38 |
DaemonFC | I stock up whenever that coupon comes up again. | May 23 15:38 |
DaemonFC | And they won't admit it, but the "Simply Venus" three blade razors that are the same price as the Sensor 3, shave exactly the same. | May 23 15:39 |
DaemonFC | So if you run out of men's razor coupons and want more, use the "women's razor" coupons too. | May 23 15:40 |
Snowleaksange | heh both filling your own condiment bottles with free ketchup packets, and really devoted systematic coupon leveraging seems like episode of ultimate cheapskates | May 23 15:40 |
DaemonFC | Snowleaksange, I see people doing stupid shit all the time. | May 23 15:40 |
DaemonFC | For some reason, everyone I know buys $5.96 toothpaste. | May 23 15:40 |
DaemonFC | I buy the 88 cent toothpaste when I have no coupons, and I get it for free every once in a while because it goes on sale, and I have a matching coupon. | May 23 15:41 |
DaemonFC | Then they're all like "I have $3 in the bank and my car is on E!". | May 23 15:41 |
Snowleaksange | how many hours per month in coupon leveraging activity | May 23 15:42 |
DaemonFC | Well, when you go in there and pay 600% of what you have to for every little thing, that's what happens. | May 23 15:42 |
Snowleaksange | or week | May 23 15:42 |
DaemonFC | I don't know. It's right down the street and I do it when I'm bored. | May 23 15:42 |
DaemonFC | I've worked it out. Sometimes I make $7-8 an hour, sometimes I make $30-40. :P | May 23 15:42 |
Snowleaksange | seems like could make shopping take 2x as long easily | May 23 15:43 |
DaemonFC | Snowleaksange, Well, there are these blogs that tell you when and where to use your coupons, but Walmart price matches all of them. | May 23 15:43 |
Snowleaksange | maybe its still winning financially, but important to consider opportunity-cost (ie time spent) | May 23 15:43 |
DaemonFC | So, if a $5 bottle of shampoo goes on sale for $3 at Dollar General, and you have a $2 off coupon, then it will still be $1 a bottle at Walmart. | May 23 15:43 |
DaemonFC | So, that's how I stockpile things. | May 23 15:44 |
DaemonFC | I probably have a few years worth of everything, but it never expires, and my entire personal item budget is probably less than $1 a week. | May 23 15:44 |
Snowleaksange | have u ever seen the show ultimate cheapskates, you can watch episodes online | May 23 15:44 |
DaemonFC | Extreme Cheapskates? | May 23 15:44 |
DaemonFC | Yeah, but most of that is fraud | May 23 15:44 |
Snowleaksange | oh yeah maybe thats it | May 23 15:44 |
DaemonFC | like, fake coupons | May 23 15:45 |
DaemonFC | that's illegal | May 23 15:45 |
DaemonFC | I don't do anything illegal. | May 23 15:45 |
Snowleaksange | i didnt think they did either | May 23 15:45 |
DaemonFC | Oh yeah, that episode with the 16 year old boy that filled his parents garage with soap and toilet paper and laundry detergent and stuff. | May 23 15:45 |
DaemonFC | Like thousands of dollars worth. | May 23 15:45 |
Snowleaksange | lol | May 23 15:46 |
DaemonFC | They had him on an episode. He went and bought $500 worth of Quilted Northern toilet paper at the grocery store. | May 23 15:46 |
Snowleaksange | thats like what would happen if you turned evil | May 23 15:46 |
DaemonFC | The coupons wouldn't scan, but a manager overrode the computer because he figured it was legit because it was on a TV show. | May 23 15:46 |
DaemonFC | Then the manufacturer said the coupons were fake and wouldn't redeem them, so the store contacted the district attorney. | May 23 15:46 |
DaemonFC | The kid's mother ended up having to go into the store and pay hundreds of dollars. | May 23 15:46 |

DaemonFC | The oil change ripoff reminds me of what Monro does. | May 23 15:48 |
DaemonFC | They have a $17.99 oil change coupon that you can use if it's Wednesday. | May 23 15:49 |
DaemonFC | But you get in there, and they add "fees" to it, and you pay closer to $30. | May 23 15:49 |
DaemonFC | Walmart is $26.88. | May 23 15:49 |
DaemonFC | But the shop that I go to all the time will do one for $20. | May 23 15:49 |
DaemonFC | So I go to Walmart for tires, but the local shop for an oil change. | May 23 15:50 |
Snowleaksange | going back to the oppotunity cost thing, the problem i have with using coupons is youre essentially saying to yourself, my time is not worth 1000$ an hour | May 23 15:50 |
Snowleaksange | maybe thats just realism but im not prepared to accept it | May 23 15:50 |
MinceR | + | May 23 15:51 |
Snowleaksange | 1000$ a little much but what it its 20$ | May 23 15:53 |
Snowleaksange | basically coupon leveraging is a job that pays a salary | May 23 15:54 |
Snowleaksange | how much $/hr is key q | May 23 15:54 |
-->ThistleWeb (~gordon@unaffiliated/thistleweb) has joined #techrights | May 23 15:55 | |
Snowleaksange | also that you dont know off top of your head leads me to guess your motivation might actaully related to experiencing the psychological state of "saving" | May 23 15:56 |
Snowleaksange | rather than quantitative cost normalized benefit | May 23 15:57 |
DaemonFC | No, I don't use them for anything I wouldn't otherwise buy. | May 23 15:58 |
DaemonFC | And there's a lot of times where the coupon makes no difference at all, because it's not high value enough to make a cheaper product less desirable. | May 23 15:58 |
Snowleaksange | so many sweet classes on coursera.org | May 23 16:01 |
Snowleaksange | im signing up for more | May 23 16:01 |
DaemonFC | OF course, you can get four three blade razors from Dollar Tree for $1, but they're no good. | May 23 16:01 |
Snowleaksange | lot of them exact same classes taught in expen$sive graduate program | May 23 16:01 |
Snowleaksange | for free. so thats a decent coupon | May 23 16:01 |
DaemonFC | I made that mistake once. The razors were all dull to start with. | May 23 16:02 |
DaemonFC | So, you save nothing if the product is unusable. :) | May 23 16:02 |

DaemonFC | MinceR, Yeah, they wouldn't have to build the Ford Focus if they'd stop making gas guzzling SUVs that get 10 miles a gallon. | May 23 16:37 |
DaemonFC | Just saying.... | May 23 16:37 |
MinceR | :> | May 23 16:38 |
MinceR | they don't have to build anything :> | May 23 16:38 |
DaemonFC | CAFE is Corporate AVERAGE Fuel Economy. When you have 10 mpg SUVs and the CAFE standard is 22.5 mpg, you have to make some Ford Focuses | May 23 16:38 |
MinceR | foci :> | May 23 16:38 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, If they improve their gas mileage on the SUVs, they won't have to make as many cheap little cars to compensate for that. | May 23 16:39 |
DaemonFC | The CAFE standard is going up because gas prices have gone up. | May 23 16:39 |
DaemonFC | The more gasoline you have to sell, the higher the price for a gallon of it is going to be. | May 23 16:40 |
DaemonFC | Limited supply meets heavy demand, and prices go up. | May 23 16:40 |
DaemonFC | So, when people drive a gas hog, they're costing everyone that drives anything more money. | May 23 16:40 |
DaemonFC | It's just basic economics. | May 23 16:40 |
DaemonFC | The SUV owners should be glad that there are people driving reasonable vehicles, or they'd be paying $6-7 a gallon for their SUVs. | May 23 16:41 |
DaemonFC | They've externalizing the cost of their SUV onto other people, and they're basically getting a huge subsidy. | May 23 16:41 |
DaemonFC | The downside of using less gas is that states are raising their gas taxes again, because the highway funds are drying up. | May 23 16:42 |
MinceR | it's a conspiracy! | May 23 16:42 |

DaemonFC | msb_, According to Dr. Mercola, reverse osmosis removes 90% of the fluoride. | May 23 21:26 |
DaemonFC | If that's true, then that would bring down my water's level to about 0.14 ppm instead of 1.4 ppm. | May 23 21:27 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: That would depend on the exact type of RO membrane. Besides, distillation removes all of it. | May 23 21:27 |
DaemonFC | I don't question that sodium fluoride in toothpaste has proven benefits, but that's different. | May 23 21:27 |
DaemonFC | And you're applying it directly to the teeth and then rinsing and spitting most of it back out. | May 23 21:28 |
DaemonFC | There's no real evidence that putting it in the water provides more benefits than brushing properly, three times a day, with toothpaste. | May 23 21:28 |
DaemonFC | msb_, I don't see any reason to worry about removing all of it. | May 23 21:29 |

DaemonFC | So, ratepayers in those communities have to pay to add the fluoride to get the water up to the minimum legal level. | May 23 21:31 |
DaemonFC | msb_, California is much different. | May 23 21:32 |
DaemonFC | You guys have voter initiatives and stuff. If your state government is not doing what you want it to, you can overrule it and create laws without their approval. | May 23 21:32 |
DaemonFC | We don't have that in Indiana, but we need it. | May 23 21:32 |
cubezzz | msg_, wrote my first fortran program for Unix v5 | May 23 21:33 |
cubezzz | msb_, rather | May 23 21:33 |
DaemonFC | Indiana still has a bunch of "war on drugs" assholes, so even with 56% approval for decriminalizing marijuana possession among Indiana citizens, that's going nowhere. | May 23 21:33 |
DaemonFC | You'd think if 56% of the public wants rid of a law, that the law should be repealed. | May 23 21:33 |
DaemonFC | I mean, usually. | May 23 21:33 |
DaemonFC | When there's something that shouldn't be up for a vote, I think it should go into the constitution, and that *that* should be harder to modify. | May 23 21:34 |
DaemonFC | Indiana is basically a very corporate government. | May 23 21:35 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Congrats! | May 23 21:35 |
DaemonFC | The Koch brothers and other wealthy industrialists run the state. | May 23 21:35 |
DaemonFC | They get whatever they want. | May 23 21:35 |
msb_ | cubezzz: I once wrote a Fortran program that printed out its own source code. | May 23 21:36 |
DaemonFC | msb_, I'd buy a distillation unit, but it's a big up front expense. It seems to take a long time to produce a small amount of water. | May 23 21:36 |
DaemonFC | There's lime scale issues that I'm sure would be just terrible with our tap water. | May 23 21:36 |
cubezzz | msb_, a quine you mean? | May 23 21:37 |
DaemonFC | Reverse osmosis is a pretty ingenious system. Pretty much all of that crap just gets backflushed into the sewer. | May 23 21:37 |
DaemonFC | :) | May 23 21:37 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Is that what such a program is called? | May 23 21:37 |
cubezzz | a quine is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as output | May 23 21:38 |
cubezzz | msb_, there was a tiny bit of fortran source code in Unix v1 | May 23 21:40 |
cubezzz | I was able to adapt it to Unix v5 & v6 | May 23 21:40 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: $160, 4hr/gallon, clean it as necessary. No worries about a pinhole in the RO membrane, or how well the corporation is maintaining the RO machine. But suit yourself. | May 23 21:42 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Use ascorbic or citric acid to dissolve the scale. Vinegar will damage the seal. | May 23 21:43 |
msb_ | I used to write Fortran-callable subroutines to connect flying-spot scanner, nuclear modules, to PDP6/10 and Eclipse. | May 23 21:45 |
cubezzz | I didn't realize you worked on PDP-6 | May 23 21:46 |
msb_ | Yep. | May 23 21:46 |
cubezzz | do you have any program listings from that era? | May 23 21:46 |
msb_ | Once made an emitter-coupled logic circuit to interface with a nuclear module (used for photon-counting in biology). | May 23 21:46 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Not that I'd know where to find. | May 23 21:47 |
cubezzz | ok, yeah I think you mentioned that before | May 23 21:47 |
cubezzz | it was a pretty rare machine from what I understand | May 23 21:48 |
msb_ | Had a live-in technician. Once showed me a 2-foot square PC board -- one bit of the accumulator. | May 23 21:49 |
cubezzz | yes, I hear it was tempermental :) | May 23 21:50 |
msb_ | It was connected via a parallel cable to a LINC or PDP8 in a lab in the basement. Six floors! | May 23 21:52 |
msb_ | Home-made transistor drivers for each bit. Insane! | May 23 21:52 |
msb_ | I guess it was before ethernet. | May 23 21:53 |
cubezzz | so for removable media it had... paper tape? | May 23 21:54 |
msb_ | Or maybe the cable went up to a PDP8 next to the PDP6. | May 23 21:54 |
msb_ | DecTapes | May 23 21:54 |
msb_ | and magtapes. | May 23 21:54 |
msb_ | Tape-eating magtapes. | May 23 21:54 |
cubezzz | well it would be the drives that ate the tapes surely :) | May 23 21:55 |
msb_ | Stretched them, more precisely. | May 23 21:55 |
cubezzz | ok, I thought I saw a paper tape reader in the picture | May 23 21:56 |
msb_ | I'm sure there was one, for booting. | May 23 21:56 |
msb_ | With a plastic boot-tape for long life. | May 23 21:56 |
msb_ | They did experiments with chlorophyll, where the reaction was started by a nanosecond pulse from a Q-switched ruby laser. | May 23 21:58 |
msb_ | The measurement light for it was a xenon flashlamp powered by a multiple pi-section tunable delay line charged to a KV or more. Adjust the cores to get a flat light pulse. | May 23 22:00 |
msb_ | The measure signal was recorded on a polaroid camera on a 450 MHz oscilloscope. Nothing could digitize that fast. | May 23 22:01 |
msb_ | Then a flying-spot scanner -- oscilloscope, big lens, photomultiplier tube in a dark box -- would scan the photograph under PDP8 control, the result read in by a driver in Fortran. | May 23 22:02 |
msb_ | Fun, eh? | May 23 22:03 |
cubezzz | a lot of improvising it seems like | May 23 22:05 |
cubezzz | yeah, I was talking to another guy about early unix posters which were created by phototypesetting | May 23 22:05 |
cubezzz | interesting stuff | May 23 22:06 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Improvising? How else to do it? | May 23 22:06 |
cubezzz | ok, prototyping then :) | May 23 22:07 |
cubezzz | I don't know how else it could be done in that time period | May 23 22:07 |
msb_ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britton_Chance Director of the multi-lab foundation. | May 23 22:07 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Britton Chance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [ http://ur1.ca/hdbfb ] | May 23 22:07 | |
msb_ | We made it work! | May 23 22:08 |
cubezzz | well I would say that early work in any field involves some experimentation | May 23 22:08 |
cubezzz | you can't just read a book and do it | May 23 22:08 |
msb_ | I'm very proud of that flat-pulse xenon flasher. | May 23 22:09 |
cubezzz | IBM had something called an optical mark page reader | May 23 22:09 |
cubezzz | and a display copier | May 23 22:09 |
cubezzz | that was mid-60s | May 23 22:09 |
cubezzz | sure, you should be proud :) | May 23 22:10 |
msb_ | We used a lot of photomultiplier tubes. | May 23 22:10 |
msb_ | The only thing that could measure biochemical reactions that fast was light. | May 23 22:10 |
cubezzz | I can only imagine the stories you heard from guys one generation earlier than you | May 23 22:11 |
*cubezzz nods | May 23 22:11 | |
cubezzz | so what did you guys use for an OS for the PDP-6? | May 23 22:12 |
cubezzz | I know a bit about PDP-7, but not the PDP-6 | May 23 22:12 |
msb_ | I worked on a microspectrophotometer. Sent monochromatic reference and measure light beams through a microscope (with quartz optics). Could measure reactions in the nucleus of a cell, compensated by a reference path through the cytoplasm. Beams switched by a mechanical chopper. | May 23 22:13 |
msb_ | I don't remember what the OS was called. | May 23 22:14 |
msb_ | On the teletype terminal, they all looked the same. 8^) | May 23 22:16 |
msb_ | The PDP6 may have used discrete transistor logic. Why the PC boards were so big. | May 23 22:17 |
msb_ | I remember there were pulse transformers in those circuits. | May 23 22:17 |
cubezzz | evidently there are no surviving PDP-6's | May 23 22:18 |
cubezzz | which doesn't surprise me | May 23 22:18 |
msb_ | DEC folks were generally nice to work with. | May 23 22:19 |
cubezzz | not like Microsoft eh? :) | May 23 22:19 |
msb_ | Gack! | May 23 22:20 |
cubezzz | actually, you experienced the pre-Microsoft era, I'm a bit jealous | May 23 22:20 |
msb_ | Not that I've talked to anyone from MS for 14 years, except their stooges on Usenet. | May 23 22:20 |
cubezzz | well I have... I talked to folks from Microsoft Canada | May 23 22:21 |
cubezzz | SCO was more friendly | May 23 22:21 |
cubezzz | of course this was the original SCO | May 23 22:22 |
msb_ | I live about 50 miles N of Santa Cruz. | May 23 22:22 |
cubezzz | you ever use SCO Xenix? | May 23 22:22 |
msb_ | Nah. | May 23 22:22 |
msb_ | Maybe. I've done a lot of little consulting jobs. | May 23 22:23 |
cubezzz | Xenix was sort of a closed-source Unix v7 | May 23 22:23 |
cubezzz | so re-discovering Unix v7 is like a breath of fresh air after using Xenix :) | May 23 22:24 |
msb_ | I never really got into the differences among various Unices. | May 23 22:25 |
cubezzz | well everything diverged from Unix v7, so I think it's worth learning about | May 23 22:25 |
msb_ | Sun had one that ran on a 386 machine, used that at Stanford. Funky, | May 23 22:25 |
cubezzz | that could be why a lot of people don't really like Unix | May 23 22:26 |
cubezzz | due to the Unix wars back in the 1980s | May 23 22:26 |
cubezzz | but it's the clear antecedent of modern Linux and BSD | May 23 22:27 |
msb_ | The CLI commands were all the same. I didn't even notice one version from another. | May 23 22:27 |
msb_ | Seems like there was some change in tty i/o at some point. I had to alter some of my routines. | May 23 22:28 |
cubezzz | there's detritus in unix which is a bit different in every version | May 23 22:29 |
msb_ | Same in Linux. KDE4, systemd... | May 23 22:29 |
cubezzz | yes :) | May 23 22:29 |
msb_ | Invasion of the Improvers | May 23 22:30 |
cubezzz | well try Unix v1, and you'll appreciate most of the improvements | May 23 22:30 |
cubezzz | I mean, most of the new ideas are good | May 23 22:31 |
cubezzz | some, like KDE4 or systemd, not so much | May 23 22:31 |
msb_ | I will never use KDE4. | May 23 22:32 |
cubezzz | glibc is bloated, the result of years of accumulated changes, different cpu architectures, and god knows what else | May 23 22:32 |
msb_ | From what I was told, it may be a MS plot to fuck up Linux. | May 23 22:32 |
msb_ | I don't imagine systemd will affect me much, at the user level. | May 23 22:33 |
cubezzz | ah, folks will just go to a distro that supports what they like | May 23 22:33 |
cubezzz | it's impossible to really mess up Linux | May 23 22:33 |
msb_ | I will use Trinity if Suse drops KDE3. | May 23 22:33 |
cubezzz | OpenBSD still uses KDE3 | May 23 22:34 |
cubezzz | and xfce is pretty useable | May 23 22:34 |
cubezzz | I don't think the BSD folks are using systemd | May 23 22:35 |
msb_ | So I'm told. Are the desktop names retained across reboots in xfce? Does it remember the desktop locations of xterms/konsoles/ | May 23 22:35 |
cubezzz | I don't use it enough to answer that | May 23 22:36 |
cubezzz | you normally use umm, I forget which terminal program exactly, not konsole anyway | May 23 22:37 |
msb_ | There's a guy here called XFaCE. | May 23 22:38 |
msb_ | Yes, konsole is KDE. | May 23 22:38 |
cubezzz | I'm using icewm on this box, I just never logout | May 23 22:40 |
cubezzz | last logout was due to a utility power failure 86 days ago | May 23 22:41 |
cubezzz | slackware is classic bsd style init scripts | May 23 22:44 |
cubezzz | I think you can still use Classical SysV style init on debian | May 23 22:44 |
cubezzz | I assume you can revert back to SysV style init on distros that use systemd? | May 23 22:45 |
cubezzz | I haven't upgraded any operating systems to latest and greatest in a number of years | May 23 22:47 |
cubezzz | I think the newest one I have is fedora 16 | May 23 22:47 |
msb_ | I dunno. Reversion from systemd to init might require lots of reversions in various system programs. | May 23 22:48 |
cubezzz | I'll just make my own distro at some point | May 23 22:49 |
cubezzz | I bet other folks will also, just look at distrowatch | May 23 22:49 |
msb_ | As long as I can get it to boot, set up fstab, and use my trackball and whatever audio chip on my mobo, and of course KDE3/Trinity that's about all I need. | May 23 22:50 |
msb_ | I'm a Linux user, not a system guy. | May 23 22:53 |
cubezzz | well I've installed v6 and v7 from the source tapes so I'm ready :) | May 23 22:56 |
cubezzz | I'll maybe try systemd on one machine, just to check it out | May 23 22:57 |
cubezzz | my gut instinct is I don't like it | May 23 22:58 |
msb_ | The Monster that Ate Chicago. | May 23 22:58 |
cubezzz | if you want a Bell Labs, there's Plan 9 | May 23 23:17 |
cubezzz | Bell Labs style OS | May 23 23:18 |
cubezzz | most folks are not into that | May 23 23:18 |
cubezzz | Patrick Volkerding says he is sticking with a BSD-style of SysV design | May 23 23:19 |
cubezzz | GNOME 3 seems to need systemd | May 23 23:21 |
cubezzz | the other one that keeps popping up is OpenRC | May 23 23:22 |
cubezzz | I mean we don't still use Thompson shell, so new ideas always need to be evalutated | May 23 23:24 |
cubezzz | if it's overly complicated or slow, or hard to maintain then I don't want it | May 23 23:25 |
msb_ | cubezzz: The time may come when I will need to emigrate. Most of my friends are ex-pats. A job with Cubix in Canada would be very nice. | May 24 00:28 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Did you ever see _The Handmaid's Tale_ ? It made a big impression on me. | May 24 00:30 |
cubezzz | Atwood wrote a science fiction novel? Hard to believe | May 24 00:35 |
cubezzz | no, I haven't seen the film or read the book | May 24 00:36 |
msb_ | More political horror than science fiction. | May 24 00:36 |
cubezzz | dystopian | May 24 00:38 |
msb_ | yep. But very good! | May 24 00:47 |
cubezzz | sometimes I wonder what inspired George Orwell to write 1984 | May 24 00:49 |
msb_ | It's certainly all around us now. | May 24 00:52 |
msb_ | https://image.bayimg.com/famedaabb.jpg | May 24 00:54 |
cubezzz | no Thought Police yet :) | May 24 00:55 |
cubezzz | you could argue we have the telescreens though | May 24 00:57 |
XFaCE | [00:55:18]<msb_> [22:35:52] So I'm told. Are the desktop names retained across reboots in xfce? Does it remember the desktop locations of xterms/konsoles/ | May 24 00:57 |
XFaCE | no idea off hand | May 24 00:57 |
XFaCE | never had to think about that | May 24 00:58 |
cubezzz | there's a broader question too re: window managers | May 24 00:59 |
msb_ | The US govt has murdered at least 2,000,000 people A. to maintain US petrodollars and B. to destroy any kind of economy in which the workers get a fair share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP7L8bw5QF4 | May 24 00:59 |

cubezzz | does it retain across switches in wm's? | May 24 00:59 |
cubezzz | msb_, we're going to get off oil one way or the other | May 24 01:00 |
msb_ | Hopefully. But it's not going to happen soon. It's making too much money for the ultra-wealthy. | May 24 01:01 |
cubezzz | msb_, I'm switching into xfce now so I'll be able to answer your question in a minute | May 24 01:02 |
msb_ | The 2,000,000 murders are all since 2001. And the US govt did 9/11 to justify them. | May 24 01:02 |
cubezzz | ha, interesting | May 24 01:02 |
cubezzz | firefox restarts in xfce with the same tabs and info | May 24 01:02 |
msb_ | Sure. It has its own state file. | May 24 01:03 |
msb_ | sessionstore.js | May 24 01:03 |
cubezzz | yes, I delete that sometimes | May 24 01:03 |
cubezzz | ok, xfce does seem to retain the xterm's | May 24 01:04 |
msb_ | You have multiple named virtual desktops running? | May 24 01:04 |
cubezzz | yes, I have multiple-multiple virtual desktops running :) | May 24 01:05 |
cubezzz | fvwm, icewm, KDE, mwm, Ratpoison, xfce 4 and failsafe | May 24 01:06 |
msb_ | What I mean is, when running a single DE, like xfce, do you have multiple desktops in that? | May 24 01:09 |
cubezzz | yes | May 24 01:09 |
cubezzz | but I don't run a single DE usually | May 24 01:10 |
msb_ | And those desktops and their names and contents are preserved across xfce restarts? | May 24 01:10 |
cubezzz | yes | May 24 01:10 |
msb_ | Great! | May 24 01:10 |
cubezzz | I'm still learning new things about KDE 3.X even though I've been using it for 11 years | May 24 01:13 |

roy | pays $20,000 in tax | May 24 04:19 |
roy | joe then loses his job | May 24 04:19 |
roy | can't find another | May 24 04:19 |
roy | needs to work for private company for free to get $200 per month from his social program that he was forced to pay into while employed | May 24 04:19 |
roy | and some private company profits from joe's free labour | May 24 04:19 |
DaemonFC | $200? | May 24 04:19 |
DaemonFC | Where do you live on $200? | May 24 04:19 |
roy | just saying, depends on the case | May 24 04:19 |
roy | he'd probably get free housing too | May 24 04:20 |
roy | so think of $50 per week for food etc. | May 24 04:20 |
DaemonFC | there's some of that here | May 24 04:20 |
DaemonFC | yeah, Section 8 housing and food stamps | May 24 04:20 |
roy | anyway, for people who rely on the state tp support them when not self-sufficient or on a payroll is becoming hard | May 24 04:20 |
DaemonFC | No living wage, but you can qualify for low income subsidies if you make minimum wage | May 24 04:20 |
DaemonFC | including the earned income tax credits | May 24 04:21 |
roy | big business are recovering here | May 24 04:21 |
roy | at the expense of the poor | May 24 04:21 |
DaemonFC | same here | May 24 04:21 |
roy | some of whom are forced to work for free for big corporations | May 24 04:21 |
DaemonFC | They're getting record profits on minimum payroll | May 24 04:21 |
roy | interbnments, social programs, etc/ | May 24 04:21 |
roy | interships | May 24 04:21 |
roy | LOL | May 24 04:21 |
roy | not internments :-) | May 24 04:21 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Apparently _The Handmaid's Tale_ is out of print -- $36 from amazon. But a very good online copy -- in the bay -- yo-ho-ho. | May 24 04:21 |
roy | which would be a more suitable term actually | May 24 04:21 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz__, Walmart just opened over 100 new stores while decreasing jobs by like 15,000. | May 24 04:22 |
roy | maybe automatic tills | May 24 04:22 |
DaemonFC | Of course, their sales are starting to go negative, but in the short term it looks good. | May 24 04:22 |
roy | we have more and more of them here | May 24 04:22 |
roy | in the past you could approach a real person | May 24 04:22 |
roy | but they're cutting down on people | May 24 04:22 |
DaemonFC | Yeah, that was all that was open earlier, when I was there. | May 24 04:22 |
DaemonFC | It was packed. | May 24 04:22 |
roy | so waiting time is increasing uunless you work with a machine | May 24 04:22 |
roy | same in the bank I just ditched, NatWest | May 24 04:23 |
DaemonFC | They had one cashier running around trying to fix problems people were having on eight different self-checkouts. | May 24 04:23 |
roy | wow, so walmart gives no option other than machines now? | May 24 04:23 |
roy | I didn't go to asda any time recently and never bought anything there, so I don't know what this wal-mart-owned grocer is doing | May 24 04:23 |
DaemonFC | Well, register 17 has to be open, but that's the only regular checkout that they keep open most of the time now. | May 24 04:23 |
roy | ah, yes | May 24 04:23 |
roy | the person who 'helps' with machines | May 24 04:24 |
DaemonFC | It's always packed with people buying cigarettes because that's the only lane that can sell them. | May 24 04:24 |
roy | I saw that at the airport | May 24 04:24 |
msb_ | Too bad if people spoof the barcodes. | May 24 04:24 |
DaemonFC | When I worked at Walmart, 10 years ago, there were no self checkouts. | May 24 04:24 |
DaemonFC | 10-15 cashiers on at all times. | May 24 04:24 |
DaemonFC | Well, over 4,000 stores, that's a lot of people who are employed. | May 24 04:25 |
msb_ | 45" TV looks like a roll of paper towels. | May 24 04:25 |
schestowitz_log_ | good | May 24 04:25 |
schestowitz_log_ | that's also better service | May 24 04:25 |
schestowitz_log_ | they can answer questions | May 24 04:25 |
schestowitz_log_ | so wal-mart is becoming some kind of self-running business | May 24 04:25 |
DaemonFC | yeah | May 24 04:26 |
DaemonFC | There's now two cashiers. | May 24 04:26 |
schestowitz_log_ | now, if only they could get more automated stocking of shelves | May 24 04:26 |
DaemonFC | The tobacco lane and the self-checkout attendant. | May 24 04:26 |
schestowitz_log_ | So much for "job creators" | May 24 04:26 |
roy | I guess their vision if one of oligarchs and dependends | May 24 04:27 |
roy | one or few people running a centre ofull of machines | May 24 04:27 |
roy | like amazon | May 24 04:27 |
DaemonFC | yeah, thousands and thousands of cashiers jobs, just gone | May 24 04:27 |
roy | and everyone else begging for pennies from them | May 24 04:27 |
roy | I guess they'll find that it leads to violent rebellion | May 24 04:27 |
DaemonFC | Well, they say it helps them keep prices low, as prices increase. | May 24 04:28 |
DaemonFC | :) | May 24 04:28 |
roy | haha | May 24 04:29 |
roy | I heard that from some silly banksters' doorman | May 24 04:29 |
roy | "it's good for you" | May 24 04:29 |
roy | then I lectured him | May 24 04:30 |
roy | he too would be made redundant next | May 24 04:30 |
roy | they don't reduce prices, they improve margins | May 24 04:30 |
roy | by sharing less with their staff | May 24 04:30 |
roy | of which there's less (declining staff)) | May 24 04:30 |
roy | I never knew a store or bank that reduced costs over time | May 24 04:30 |
roy | they use inflation as excuse to always hike prices | May 24 04:31 |
DaemonFC | roy, yeah | May 24 04:31 |
DaemonFC | I just go to Walmart to coupon and stock up and cat litter and stuff. | May 24 04:31 |
roy | we're pushed into it | May 24 04:32 |
roy | I still buy at Sainsbury's for some of their low-cos stuff, but Aldi is the main one and also Cooperative, Wing Yip (for Asian products), and a few others | May 24 04:32 |
roy | Sainsbury's delivers to one's home | May 24 04:32 |
roy | that actually CREATES jobs | May 24 04:32 |
roy | it involved drivers, personal shoppers etc. | May 24 04:33 |
roy | and is more environmentally-friendly | May 24 04:33 |
roy | one truck with many deliveries rather than one car per household | May 24 04:33 |
roy | The till workers are still there | May 24 04:33 |
roy | In fact, it basically offloads the work from the customer | May 24 04:33 |
roy | and creates new jobs | May 24 04:33 |
roy | for small shops it's hard to compete with this, though | May 24 04:34 |
roy | do you have home deliveries in Huntington? | May 24 04:34 |
DaemonFC | nope | May 24 04:36 |
DaemonFC | Well, from Amazon maybe. | May 24 04:37 |
DaemonFC | Walgreens will let you make a shopping list and they'll bag it and ring it up and have it ready when you get to the store. | May 24 04:37 |
roy | amazon is evil stuff | May 24 04:39 |
roy | for many reasons | May 24 04:39 |
roy | and it harms jobs, not creating jobs | May 24 04:39 |
DaemonFC | I heard that they hire more people than they need just so they'll have extras right away when people quit. :P | May 24 04:40 |

schestowitz__ | " | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | This guy is just a troll, but I'm feeling randy so I'll bite. First and foremost: flash is dying. If you're talking about being held back from the future you should be talking about still supporting flash. | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | "I get it, they want to stick with as much open source as possible..." that is by no means the only reason to use Chromium. It is available on more platforms. Chrome is known to have privacy violations that Chromium does not. Chromium is sometimes available from your repo. Etc.. | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | "Because I found it more reliable, up-to-date, and it had more of the plugins I needed." Bullshit, retarded, and false. Chromium is always at least as up-to-date as Chrome, because the updates happen in Chromium first. And they use the same plugins. Reliability is a little harder to prove, but I have seen no difference whatsoever and I have extensive experience with both. This sentence alone proves the guy is either an idiot or, more | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | likely, a bad liar. | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | "I see, all too often, died in the wool open-source users refusing to install software by Google (or other entities), because they don't adhere to the GPL." Really? How many people do you know that shriek in horror when they come across something that is BSD-licensed? | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | "With companies like Google behind it, Linux could take over the world!" It already did precisely that, jackass. Ever heard of Android? Chromebooks? A few feet from me sits a Samsung T.V. my wife bought from WalMart - it runs Linux. Linux runs elevators and road signs. Linux is the most common OS in the world, and most of those installations are in perverted corporate forms. | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | "If Linux doesn't succeed, open source cannot succeed." Can you think of a sentence more obviously false? "open source" is an approach to software development - its fate is absolutely not tied to the fate of one particular kernel. Ever heard of the BSD family? I hear they have some pretty big corporations involved too (Apple). And the Lord knows you'd never get open source software on a closed OS like Windows /sarc. | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | "But if Linux is to win over new users, it cannot, in any way, depend on those new users extracting APIs from one browser and rolling them into another." If those users want/need flash and don't want to use the NAPI plugin and don't want to roll Pepper in, then they can install a browser that does what they need. How is this a problem? Most of my computers have Chromium, Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers installed. I'll play whack- | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | a-browser for the poorly-designed websites (which would include the ones which use flash). | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | "For new users to accept Linux as a desktop platform of choice, said platform needs to work out-of-the-box." Bullshit. Have you ever seen a new user use Ubuntu's flashy package management thing? It's not a problem. | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | "If it means Linux gains more support and a larger install base, how can you not see this as a winning situation?" ... "We had to destroy the village in order to save it." | May 24 12:41 |
schestowitz__ | "Could that "push" actually come from the open-source community itself? I believe so." So now you contradict the entire article up to this point? Awesome. Well I'll tell you what, that extra push would have nothing to do with Flash. | May 24 12:41 |

DaemonFC | We've lost control of our own government, but it appears that Europe still has some democratic tendencies left. | May 24 15:46 |
DaemonFC | I think it really says everything when I give up trying to ask my own Congress Critters to block those deals and start asking foreign politicians to do that instead. | May 24 15:47 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, Losing control of the internet by the people will require the US government to bully other countries into passing the laws it wants them to pass. Simply doing it here only affects people when they're under the jurisdiction of the United States. Like, I can't share some software with you, but you could share it with me, so my government wants your government to make sharing with me illegal for you. | May 24 15:49 |
DaemonFC | Obviously, it would be better if I could stop the US government from doing nasty things to Americans, but failing that, it's in my best interest if your government doesn't cooperate. | May 24 15:50 |
DaemonFC | And it has no reason to cooperate on the terms of "intellectual property" agreements, so the US is sugar coating this crap with "We'll give you access to cheap natural gas that we're poisoning Americans to extract via fracking!". | May 24 15:51 |
DaemonFC | With "intellectual property", Hungary and the EU would mostly be on the losing end, because you'd end up legitimizing American "IP" claims, and getting nothing in return. | May 24 15:52 |
MinceR | indeed | May 24 15:53 |
DaemonFC | Since the United States is already so rotten that it allows foreigners that we have no trade deals with to register things like patents here, and gouge Americans with them. | May 24 15:53 |
MinceR | the EU is also willing to negotiate secret "trade deals" that change its laws | May 24 15:53 |

DaemonFC | So, what we end up with are things like European pharmaceutical companies getting US patents and charging me $600 a month for a drug that costs $50 in Germany. | May 24 15:54 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, Apparently, the US wants to export natural gas to the EU, and I believe that's where the pressure on the EU to sanction Russia is coming from. | May 24 16:04 |
MinceR | it's probably not the only source | May 24 16:04 |
MinceR | not everybody likes the idea of being run over by russians. | May 24 16:04 |
DaemonFC | The US needs somewhere for the excess gas to be sold to, and cutting off Europe from the Russian market makes ours easier to sell. | May 24 16:04 |
MinceR | especially if one's dictator is making deals that favors putin. | May 24 16:04 |
MinceR | and this is not the first time when dependence on russian gas is a huge issue for europe. | May 24 16:05 |
MinceR | they're not trustworthy. | May 24 16:05 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, Neither is the US government. | May 24 16:20 |
MinceR | probably more so than russia, though | May 24 16:20 |
MinceR | plus if the EU can ship gas from the USA via ships, it can ship from almost anywhere | May 24 16:21 |
DaemonFC | Both have a "Give us what we want or we'll hurt you." attitude. | May 24 16:21 |
DaemonFC | Shower you with gifts if you accept the deals. | May 24 16:21 |
MinceR | different standards, though | May 24 16:21 |
DaemonFC | Russia's government is more repressive than ours. | May 24 16:21 |
MinceR | indeed. | May 24 16:22 |
DaemonFC | It doesn't enforce environmental protection standards as well, it cracks down on gay people for what would be first amendment protected speech here. | May 24 16:22 |
DaemonFC | If you protest Putin, then you will go to prison. | May 24 16:22 |
DaemonFC | There's no doubt about it. | May 24 16:22 |

It then used that Big Lie as the pretext for bombarding and invading Afghanistan and Iraq, and thereby MURDERING TWO MILLION PEOPLE. Putin has done *nothing* nearly so evil. | May 24 19:05 |

DaemonFC | At one point, I decided that the only people who would understand me are other people facing depression or bipolar disorder or something, and I found out a couple of things. | May 24 21:27 |
DaemonFC | 1. Almost everyone +/- 10 years of my age is broke, hates their life, and has depression or bipolar disorder. | May 24 21:27 |
DaemonFC | and | May 24 21:27 |
DaemonFC | 2. Even they don't understand, tolerate, or want anything to do with me. | May 24 21:27 |
DaemonFC | So, where does that leave me? I don't know where that leaves me. I don't want to think about it anymore, but oh well. | May 24 21:27 |
DaemonFC | For my part, I think I'm holding up better than most of them. | May 24 21:27 |
DaemonFC | It's not just a coincidence that that's all I seem to run into. It's not even an exclusively American thing. In a recent survey of young adults in the United Kingdom, conducted with funding from the National Health Service, about a third of people my age said that they have "nothing to live for". | May 24 21:27 |
DaemonFC | And, it's not surprising. We're living in declining capitalist western societies that have written most of us off, where even the table scraps from the "have's" are drying up. | May 24 21:27 |
DaemonFC | It seems to be worse, the younger you are, but it's highly prevalent across the 18-40 age group at this point. | May 24 21:28 |
DaemonFC | omeone on IRC asked what I mean by "declining western capitalist societies", so I replied. | May 24 21:44 |
DaemonFC | "Well, it's a problem that's fundamentally caused by right-wing politics. The politics of people like Reagan or Thatcher. At one point, Margaret Thatcher said 'There is no society, there are only individuals.'. That statement is very telling about how the rich think of the other 90% of us. They have enough money to buy anything they personally need, so they're content with letting public infrastructure and social security programs fall apart | May 24 21:44 |
DaemonFC | . They don't believe that their prosperity depends on any of it. Sort of an 'I've got mine, so fuck you!', attitude. But, when we look at that, we find that we actually need socialism. Advanced economies need it. Were you planning to buy your own roads or your own water system? Where are you planning to send your kids to school at? Do you want them to afford college? Do you want to know that someday, when you're too old to work anymore, that | May 24 21:44 |
DaemonFC | Social Security is there for you? These things need everyone to chip in a few dollars so that society benefits. That's socialism, and it's not a dirty word. Everyone benefits, and it costs them very little, personally. So, countries with low personal income, minimal government, and low taxes end up being like Somalia. Do we want that? That's where right-wing politics will leave 90% of us." | May 24 21:44 |
DaemonFC | Obama could have explained it better, without giving the Republicans their "You didn't build that!" sound bite of nonsense, but he didn't want to offend the rich. We don't have any major politicians that are willing to offend the rich, because a presidential run costs $500 billion now, and a US senate seat can cost $1 billion, so you need to be able to raise $1 million every day if you want to be elected.
