One_The Battistelli system  I think the scandal regarding the colleague who produced 63 searches and 20 grants in one month deserves a deeper look into.  For anybody who´s ever done a search and an examination it´s clear that 83 products a month (in January) is an impossible achievement. Even if one admits that some of the files were transferred from the previous month, as explained by the director, this is not a remotely credible peMar 12 15:23
One_December is a short month and an average of 40 products per month in two consecutive months which include the winter holidays is in the realm of fantasy. Moreover, if a search is started, according to the new regulations, the examiner has ten days for finishing the search, so if one starts treating files in December without finishing them there will be a lot of red-flagged files in January. Mar 12 15:23
One_That should´ve rung a bell for the director who is supposed to keep an eye on timeliness. He should also have known that the respective production was impossible in the given time period. But enquiries of the staff as to the preposterous 83 products a month were brushed aside by the director in those fateful emails in a knee-jerk reaction that shows that nowadays at he EPO production, even unrealistic, is protected from all criticMar 12 15:23
One_What happened is a compound failure of the examiner and the director, symbolic of the “everything goes” scam system implemented by Battistelli in which production figures are disconnected from quality in spite of the achievements trumpeted by Battistelli in the all too subservient press and his self-serving events. Mar 12 15:24
One_It´s not that quality at all levels is that compromised but the high producer bonus system incentives a low number of greedy examiners to cut corners and attempt to produce a high number of searches and grants regardless of quality in search of the yearly bonus.  If Battistelli really wanted to restore a minimum of credibility to the office he should start by ordering the Quality Control Department to carry out an examination of cMar 12 15:24
One_searches and grants – and make the findings public. Otherwise the EPO will be regarded with even more mistrust and its reputation will continue to sink.   Even better, Battistelli should retire (which he will certainly not do of his own will) or the Administrative Council should finally grow a spine (hard to believe either) and decide to oust him and let somebody else restore the credibility of the EPO after the disastruous yearsMar 12 15:24
One_disastrousMar 12 15:25
One_We´ve seen over and over again that dictators are adulated during their reign and accepted even by democratic countries but after their demise all the dirt comes out from under the carpet tainting all those who supported them in the past. There is no reason to believe that Battistelli will suffer a different fate after his departure. A petty wannabe grand dictator who, fortunately for the world, has ended up mistreating only a EurMar 12 15:25
One_instead of a whole country. With his own secret service, destroying the lives of the inconvenient staff representation members by firing them, one can only imagine his behaviour, and his opponents´end, had he been the president of a Central Asian or African country. Mar 12 15:26

razielle_tzunot badMar 12 15:51
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, however,  got a smaller space there, or as a baseMar 12 15:52
SebthreeBQM10HDmuch smaller  base spaceMar 12 15:52
SebthreeBQM10HDand also been given less time offically, but thats also freeMar 12 15:52
razielle_tzufairMar 12 15:52
razielle_tzui use the computer club room for small scale stuffMar 12 15:52
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, its a cofeee house,  with a floor up stairs, so can probably move out a bit into it etc as wellMar 12 15:52
razielle_tzuone of our sessions coming up is all about back-upsMar 12 15:52
SebthreeBQM10HDbut at the back of that room, is this small meeting room Mar 12 15:52
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, even with a load of marketting on facebook and such its probably still going to be qutie small reallyMar 12 15:53
SebthreeBQM10HDbut I am a bit concerned if say 20 or 30 people turn up at the beginingMar 12 15:53
razielle_tzutry doing it in villages rather than a town/cityMar 12 15:53
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, we can only really have four people demoing things, since  the small space Mar 12 15:53
razielle_tzuthen you'll see small scale :PMar 12 15:53
SebthreeBQM10HDthe room itself they given us can fit the four demoers, plus a few or so visitors Mar 12 15:54
SebthreeBQM10HD12 people in there at mos I Guess with a squeeze Mar 12 15:54

SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, or could go with the otehr place, again,  same day,  longer time, but wtould be at a costMar 12 15:54

DaemonFCSo, there's two new things going on with Windows 10 that caught my attention.Mar 16 14:08
DaemonFCThe first thing is that there's a nag screen in the April update that warns you about installing a local software package. Spooky language designed to make you feel like you're certainly going to get malware if you do.Mar 16 14:09
DaemonFCThe Win32 API is still fully available to apps in the Windows Store, but Microsoft has ultimate say over what's there and has the same "commission" of 30% that Apple takes.Mar 16 14:09

schestowitzmind the tagMar 16 14:10
DaemonFCThen, they have a new update scheduling mechanism that says "Windows is a service and to keep getting this service, you are required to install updates.".Mar 16 14:10
cubexyzyou have no control...Mar 16 14:10
DaemonFCIt's no longer an operating system. It's a "service".Mar 16 14:10
cubexyzjust like with modern PVRsMar 16 14:10
schestowitzor some routers from an ISPMar 16 14:11
schestowitzlike BT'sMar 16 14:11

schestowitzsee the aboveMar 16 14:11
schestowitzis this related to it?Mar 16 14:11
schestowitzMS imposing its 'free' upgrade againMar 16 14:11
DaemonFCschestowitz, Yeah, there is no option to shut down or restart without upgrading if an upgrade is available.Mar 16 14:11
cubexyzI own my own DSL modem and router thoughMar 16 14:12
cubexyzand use Toronto Free-net... so I do have quite a lot of controlMar 16 14:12
DaemonFCIt spends a lot of time installing it, and it's painful even if you have a really fast SSD.Mar 16 14:12
cubexyzwell everybody I've talked to disliked win10Mar 16 14:12
schestowitzbut are they pushing people to Vista10?Mar 16 14:12
cubexyzthat says enough for meMar 16 14:12
schestowitzOr is this for existing useds [sic]?Mar 16 14:13
DaemonFCThere's some practical advantages to forced upgrades, but that still doesn't make them right, and Microsoft will use them to slip in poison pills that people would've just rejected before.Mar 16 14:13
schestowitzobviouslyMar 16 14:13
schestowitzgoogle does this tooMar 16 14:13
DaemonFCschestowitz, No, they stopped the nags for earlier Windows versions when the free upgrade offer expired.Mar 16 14:13
schestowitzI guess it makes Microsoft feel like, "hey, if Google does it..."Mar 16 14:13
DaemonFCBut the free upgrade never went away, really.Mar 16 14:13
schestowitzDaemonFC: okMar 16 14:13
cubexyzhttp://www.maxhost.org/other/windows-10-botch-up.txtMar 16 14:13
DaemonFCYou can still go to a web page and say "I need this update because I use accessibility features."Mar 16 14:14
DaemonFCThey never check to see if you do, it just generates an upgrade license then and there and doesn't bill you anything.Mar 16 14:14
DaemonFCSo, they left the back door to free upgrades open. The official end was to stop them from trickling off and having news articles saying that they couldn't even give it away after several months.Mar 16 14:15
cubexyzI'd never run a non-FOSS OSMar 16 14:15
cubexyzeven non-FOSS BIOS is a bit dubiousMar 16 14:15
DaemonFCWindows 7 and 8.1 have a new upgrade system though, and it works like Windows 10.Mar 16 14:15
DaemonFCThe only way to avoid it is to install a clean copy and then all the updates up until the point where the new upgrade system was available, and then you're basically running Windows 7 with no security patches past last year.Mar 16 14:16
DaemonFCSo, MSFT did this to make people who were conservative about what updates to install say "Screw it. Might as well use Windows 10.".Mar 16 14:17
schestowitzmore enterprises will look at alternativesMar 16 14:18
schestowitzinc crhome os I guessMar 16 14:18
schestowitzit's malware too, but based on FOSSMar 16 14:18
cubexyzit's really happening nowMar 16 14:18
schestowitzand WIndows is even worse malwareMar 16 14:18
schestowitzsee market share statsMar 16 14:18
schestowitzWindows at 37% for Web trafficMar 16 14:18
DaemonFCMSFT can't get updates to be reliable because they are not Apple. Apple has this thing where they only ever really support maybe 30-35 configurations of Macs at once.Mar 16 14:18
schestowitzand they'd have you believe 95%+Mar 16 14:18
schestowitz(they=Microsoft)Mar 16 14:18
DaemonFCOnce they're over 3-4 years old, you go into the store to have it worked on and the employees actually shame you for having something "that old".Mar 16 14:19
cubexyzhaMar 16 14:19
DaemonFCschestowitz, Yeah, other options, which is one of the reasons I went after Lenovo so aggressively.Mar 16 14:19
DaemonFCWhat if MSFT cuts off Lenovo laptops from new updates in 4-5 years, but your computer is still going to work for another 4-5 years?Mar 16 14:20
DaemonFCIf it can't run another OS, that's a computer in the garbage that was only middle-aged, mechanically. Mar 16 14:20
cubexyzone of my customers likes to brag about his TV from 1972 :)Mar 16 14:20
DaemonFCIt also gives people an out if Windows becomes intolerable for them.Mar 16 14:20
DaemonFCcubexyz, Well, old drivers eventually get removed from Linux too, but by the time even Fedora starts dropping them, they're like 10-12 years old and haven't been properly maintained in a while.Mar 16 14:21
DaemonFCObviously, you can just use CentOS or Ubuntu LTS and milk a few more years past that if you really want to.Mar 16 14:22
cubexyzI still run FC1 24/7Mar 16 14:22
DaemonFCIntel has not been particularly forthcoming about how their newer hardware works.Mar 16 14:22
cubexyzaugmented of course :)Mar 16 14:22
cubexyzwhich drivers has linux retired?Mar 16 14:23
DaemonFCThey released documentation about the RAID controller on the Skylake/Kaby Lake platform, as spillover from my fight with Lenovo.Mar 16 14:23
DaemonFCcubexyz, Old 3dFX stuff. Really old Intel integrated graphics from like 2003.Mar 16 14:23
DaemonFCschestowitz, What really pisses me off is how politically correct and non-offensive the kernel maintainers tend to be. To the point where it's offensively non-offensive.Mar 16 14:24
DaemonFCLike, they were moaning about not getting that documentation and stuff for an entire YEAR and then I ruffle some feathers and Intel releases that and driver code a few weeks later.Mar 16 14:25
DaemonFCThen MJG goes back to saying it was really the fault of the Linux maintainers for not supporting something that was 100% secret.Mar 16 14:25
cubexyzTorvalds isn't non-offensive :)Mar 16 14:26
DaemonFCHow could they support something that has almost a hundred pages of documents that are basically classified by Intel?Mar 16 14:26
DaemonFCThe only other way I can see them doing it is maybe if one of them buys the product and then spends months or even a year reverse engineering it just for the hell of it because it amuses them, getting things wrong the entire way, and then maybe you get a driver that has data corrupting bugs in it.Mar 16 14:27
MinceR16 191002 < DaemonFC> I have a feeling that the "choice" to disable the nag screen or click through it is transitioning for a mandatory Windows Store later.Mar 16 14:28

DaemonFCInteracting with the storage controller is something that you really have to get right or else people who go to use that driver might have data corruption at any time or place. Mar 16 14:28
cubexyz2.4.22 still had 3dfx driver I thinkMar 16 14:28
cubexyznever used it myself thoughMar 16 14:29
MinceRi'd like to not hate winblows and macos so much, but it's impossible when they keep pulling shit like thisMar 16 14:29
DaemonFCcubexyz, tdfx driver was still in the 3.x branch up to a point.Mar 16 14:29
DaemonFCNot sure when the kernel dropped it. I think Fedora 20 did, but it was still in the mainline kernel at that point.Mar 16 14:29
cubexyzon really old hardware I'd just use old software (usually)Mar 16 14:29
DaemonFC3dfx is really bad hardware though.Mar 16 14:29
DaemonFCIt never had a full hardware implementation of any level of OpenGL.Mar 16 14:30
DaemonFCIt supported a small subset that could be implemented in late 90s consumer graphics cards.Mar 16 14:30
DaemonFCThat pared down API was called Glide.Mar 16 14:30
cubexyzI think 3dfx interactive went defunct long ago... 2002 I thinkMar 16 14:31
DaemonFCIt did. Nvidia bought them.Mar 16 14:31
DaemonFCNo, the hardware never even had a Windows XP driver.Mar 16 14:31
DaemonFCNone of it did. The Windows XP support was available through a BETA driver that leaked that was intended for Windows 2000.Mar 16 14:31
DaemonFCThe 3dfx cards used a pass through system that made use of onboard graphics as a framebuffer. That's what you were actually using when you weren't using an application that used Glide or (really awful) DirectX support (in the beta driver near the end of life).Mar 16 14:33
DaemonFCThe cards had no accelerated 2D graphics support.Mar 16 14:33
cubexyzRiva TNT2 is the oldest card I still use, not counting the 486 which isn't really working nowMar 16 14:36
DaemonFCMan, I got totally blindsided by that stock rally after the Fed RAISED rates.Mar 16 14:36
DaemonFCThat's just so counterintuitive that it simply can't go on.Mar 16 14:37
DaemonFCIt's no longer reacting based on reality. The US stock market is now a cult of personality responding to conservatives dumping huge amounts of money into it because they like Donald Trump.Mar 16 14:37
DaemonFCThe problem is that reality has to happen sooner or later, and all of this money that is pouring in now will pour out/vanish at some point relatively quickly (a matter of days). Mar 16 14:38
DaemonFCI see a recession of some kind happening within the next 6-12 months.Mar 16 14:39
DaemonFCI sold all of our stocks on March 1st at their all time high and purchased government debt to hold on for a while.Mar 16 14:40
DaemonFCMy hope is that while investors are throwing themselves out and turning into pavement pizza, that at least our gains are preserved.Mar 16 14:41
DaemonFCI'll buy back into the market after the crash. The rest of the central banks in the world seem to have taken a lesson from Japan that deflationary recessions are something to be avoided at all costs.Mar 16 14:42
DaemonFCThis stupid Thrift Savings Plan forces me to put fully a quarter of my investments into stocks in Japan if I want to get into international markets.Mar 16 14:42
DaemonFCThe upside to it is that we get access to a bond fund that pays out the interest rate on the ten year US Treasury Note and matures every day, so I can get the money back out whenever I want.Mar 16 14:44
DaemonFCThe downside is that the Republicans are controlling the entire government now and there's no evidence that they'll respond to a crisis. They have a history of not only bringing about recessions, but also sitting there doing nothing while things get worse.Mar 16 14:46

DaemonFCAfter the complaint to the government, they did a complete 180, fixed all existing systems with new BIOSes and announced that the 910 would allow AHCI mode in the default BIOS.Mar 17 17:09

DaemonFCA bunch of stuff.Mar 17 17:12
DaemonFCWe're getting the hell out of here before the end of the month. We put down on a new apartment in Roger's Park. It's more expensive, but only slightly, and it's twice as big, all utilities paid by the landlord, and in a much nicer building.Mar 17 17:12
DaemonFCViolent crime rate in the neighborhood is 1/5th of what it is where we live now.Mar 17 17:13
DaemonFCI pulled up the public records before we signed a lease this time. The place where we live now has been awful.Mar 17 17:13
DaemonFCOn top of the violations, they were fined about $10,000 last year.Mar 17 17:14
DaemonFCChicago Department of Revenue probably loves them.Mar 17 17:14
DaemonFCTheir property tax bill for this place is running $58,000 a year now.Mar 17 17:14
DaemonFCThey were appealing it each year, but they quit doing it because the appeals were being denied and the lawyer gets paid anyway.Mar 17 17:15
DaemonFCIt's not just the number of apartments, it's the footprint of the building.Mar 17 17:16

MinceRwhere's the workaround for pulseaudio itself being a bloated, buggy pile of shit?Mar 17 18:15
oiaohmMinceR: some of pulseaudio buggyness at times is pulseaudio using more features on ALSA than the applications to are using so finding sound card driver being a buggy pile of trouble.Mar 17 18:16

MinceRif i had, i would have given ratcrap's stuff a wide berthMar 17 18:35
MinceRooh, "known defective"Mar 17 18:35
oiaohmMinceR: so my question is when is ALSA sound mixing going to be properly fixed.Mar 17 18:35
MinceRis skipping required by the specification? or by some test suite somewhere? :>Mar 17 18:35
oiaohmMinceR: so we don't need sound servers.Mar 17 18:35
MinceRi don't need sound servers.Mar 17 18:36
MinceRneither does palemoon.Mar 17 18:36
MinceRneither does failfox, if it's built from source, configured properly (not like the morons at mozilla do)Mar 17 18:36
oiaohmMinceR: skipping is in the specification and how the sound card is meant to inform applications so it does not happen.Mar 17 18:36
MinceRalso, if ratcrap manages to kill linux, it will be mootMar 17 18:36
MinceRopenbsd and netbsd probably have this figured out alreadyMar 17 18:37
oiaohmMinceR: does not help that a lot of sound cards drivers in alsa report the wrong buffer and fail to send notification when buffer it getting near empty. Mar 17 18:37
MinceRtoo bad the specification of my audio processing wasn't informed that gratuitous gaps in music playback are to be enjoyed, not avoidedMar 17 18:37
MinceRi guess my brain wasn't designed by poetteringMar 17 18:37
oiaohmopenbsd and netbsd and freebsd use oss that is more sanely designed and has working sound mixing.Mar 17 18:37
MinceRi thought openbsd used sndioMar 17 18:37
oiaohmMinceR: sndio still has working sound mixing.Mar 17 18:38
oiaohmMinceR: alsa has sound mixing that breaks without anything else.Mar 17 18:38
MinceRbreaks how?Mar 17 18:38
oiaohmMinceR: dmix cannot cope with applicaitons wanting to-do different bit depths and speeds at the same time.Mar 17 18:39
oiaohmMinceR: both sndio and oss can cope with that.Mar 17 18:39
MinceRthen i guess they never want to do thatMar 17 18:39
MinceRor perhaps you're working with outdated informationMar 17 18:40
oiaohmNo because under Linux every time someone did that people used sound servers so alsa was never fixed up properly.Mar 17 18:40
oiaohmYes it because alsa was designed to be sound server dependant.Mar 17 18:40
MinceR[citation needed]Mar 17 18:40
oiaohmMinceR: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-913432-start-0.html  I cannot find the email back in early alsa development at the moment where dmix limit support was justified.  Like systems with more than 2 speakers existed when the first lines of dmix was coded.Mar 17 18:42
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-forums.gentoo.org | Gentoo Forums :: View topic - ALSA dmix not working Intel HDA [Solved]Mar 17 18:42
oiaohmMinceR: yet dmix only support 2 speakers.Mar 17 18:42
MinceRi have 2 speakersMar 17 18:43
oiaohmMinceR: what about a person with 5.1Mar 17 18:43
MinceRwell, there's also a bass speaker in there, but it's managed by the speaker unitMar 17 18:43
oiaohmMinceR: 5.1 works correctly with OSS and sndioMar 17 18:43
MinceRoiaohm: are you saying that i should break my audio and get used to skips in music when the system is loaded because somebody else has a 5.1 system?Mar 17 18:43
MinceRthat's just like saying my servers should boot and shutdown unreliably and should be forced to reboot often because somebody wants to run multihead desktops.Mar 17 18:44
oiaohmMinceR: the skips issue with HDA turns up with different applications using ALSA directly without pulseaudio as well.Mar 17 18:44
oiaohmMinceR: because a lot of HDA report the wrong information.Mar 17 18:45
oiaohmMinceR: and there is no valid test suite for those making drivers.Mar 17 18:45
MinceRoiaohm: also, what if i wanted to use a sound server other than PA?Mar 17 18:45
MinceRis that heresy?Mar 17 18:45
oiaohmMinceR: I use jackaudio as well and I had particular cards skip and do stuff stupid with it as well.Mar 17 18:46
MinceRso, am i the sysadmin of my own computers, or is poettering the sysadmin of my own computers?Mar 17 18:47
oiaohmMinceR: a lot of issue put on PA are not PA its the lower level being absolutely bad.Mar 17 18:47
MinceRyet it magically goes away if i get rid of PAMar 17 18:47
MinceRand still, i am not to get rid of PA because the high priest said so.Mar 17 18:47
MinceRoiaohm: i really miss the time when free software was about freedom.Mar 17 18:48
oiaohmMinceR: PA attempt to use larger buffer sizes and what the driver reported it could handle.   Lot of application just pick their own buffer size and throw that at sound card.Mar 17 18:48
MinceRso, where are your magical quirk lists now?Mar 17 18:48
oiaohmhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Choppy_sound_with_analog_surround_sound_setup   Please frequency = 48000 having to be set in openal that uses alsa directly at times to avoid alsa being choppy.Mar 17 18:51
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-wiki.archlinux.org | PulseAudio/Troubleshooting - ArchWikiMar 17 18:51
oiaohmMinceR: pulseaudio include a lot of manual controls to allow setting to sound card because quirk list is not complete.Mar 17 18:52
MinceRit's funny how the selling points evaporateMar 17 18:53
oiaohmMinceR: wrong buffersizes wrong clockspeed support all come up from the driver level.Mar 17 18:53
oiaohmMinceR: so if you application asks the alsa driver what it can do and attempt to do it everything goes wrong.Mar 17 18:53
oiaohmMinceR: the thing is here is why does pulseaudio, jack and other sound servers even need a quirk list.Mar 17 18:56
oiaohmMinceR: it a symptom that lower down is broken. Mar 17 18:56
MinceRoiaohm: the thing is that this does not magically make pulseaudio not brokenMar 17 18:57
MinceRoiaohm: and even if it did, it's still rude to force users to one particular sound server with such excusesMar 17 18:57
MinceRoiaohm: especially when the code is already there to use ALSAMar 17 18:58
oiaohmNot exactly.   artsd, jackaudio, esound... every sound server in history has implemented own API/ABI because the ALSA API/ABI is lacking stuff sound servers need.  Like the means to tell applications they are disconnected from audio stop sending stuff to be played.Mar 17 18:59
MinceRwhat "not exactly"?Mar 17 19:00
oiaohmNot what I said other than sound server muting audio when else do you think you would want to tell an application to stop sending audio.Mar 17 19:01
oiaohmNot/NoteMar 17 19:01
MinceRdepends on the applicationMar 17 19:01
oiaohmMinceR: what about if you disconenct the speakers or pull the usb sound card out or change where the speakers are connected....Mar 17 19:02
MinceRusually i quit the audio player, then unplug the usb sound cardMar 17 19:02
MinceRif i want to use the builtin audio hw, i edit my .asoundrcMar 17 19:02
oiaohmMinceR: if you forget things don't go right.Mar 17 19:02
MinceRi still should have the freedom to do soMar 17 19:03
MinceRespecially when PA would waste CPU and RAMMar 17 19:03
MinceRsome people have 5.1 audio systems and multiseat desktops. well, i have weak computers.Mar 17 19:03
oiaohmYes I am not saying you should not have the freedom to use ALSA but it also should work right.Mar 17 19:03
MinceRactually, that's what you've been arguing for almost an hourMar 17 19:03
MinceRoh, also, i have a laptopMar 17 19:04
MinceRthe battery lasts longer if useless crap like PA and libvirtd don't get to waste power for nothingMar 17 19:04
MinceRoh, also, systemdMar 17 19:04
oiaohmWhy we are getting stuck with sound servers and this goes back to esound. artsd and before because the lower sound stuff is not getting fixed.Mar 17 19:04
oiaohmAnd application developers don't want to deal with quirks.Mar 17 19:05
DaemonFCMinceR, I decided to go bargain shopping thanks to the strong dollar.Mar 17 19:05
DaemonFCI bought up shares of an index fund that tracks the MSCI EAFE index.Mar 17 19:05
oiaohmPulseaudio becomes application developers scape goat when audio does not work instead of user blaming them in most cases.Mar 17 19:05
MinceRthen perhaps application developers should look for a job they're qualified forMar 17 19:06
MinceRperhaps they should look into developing applications that don't need audio.Mar 17 19:06
DaemonFCThe dollar is hugely overvalued right now, so it makes foreign investing mighty tempting.Mar 17 19:06
MinceRin general, if mozilla can't improve firefox even though they have money, they shouldn't try to work around that by spending money on making firefox worse insteadMar 17 19:06
MinceRif they just burned the money, even that would be less of a waste than what they're doingMar 17 19:07
DaemonFCSo, as things return to their long term average, in dollar terms, this stands to make a pretty hefty profit.Mar 17 19:07
DaemonFCI don't trust the US stock market.Mar 17 19:07
DaemonFCIt made some good gains for me over the last few years, but I can see that coming to an end.Mar 17 19:07
DaemonFCEverything is overvalued, especially Microsoft.Mar 17 19:07
oiaohmMinceR: not having money it cost resources to maintain alsa working with all the quirks it has.   It also cheaper for application developers to drop alsa support and mandate uses use pulseaudio.Mar 17 19:07
DaemonFCP/E of 30.5? Fuck.Mar 17 19:08
MinceRapparently destructive change for the sake of change is the "trendy", "cool", "modern" thing to do nowadaysMar 17 19:08
DaemonFCPeople are still buying that?Mar 17 19:08
MinceRoiaohm: it's also cheaper to not develop bullshit such as australis, or that pocket bullshit, or EME support, or patent-encumbered codec supportMar 17 19:08
DaemonFCMinceR, Yeah, I owned some Microsoft and Apple in there somewhere, but I sold at an all time high, so I'm feeling good about that.Mar 17 19:08
DaemonFCLet the big shitpile come down on someone else.Mar 17 19:08
MinceRthe alternative is literally doing nothingMar 17 19:08
MinceRwhich costs literally nothingMar 17 19:08
oiaohmMinceR: pocket bullshit they paid for the location.   So that was income.Mar 17 19:09
MinceRgood for themMar 17 19:09
MinceRtoo bad every user got the shaftMar 17 19:09
DaemonFCMinceR, We went to see that movie "Get Out" the other day.Mar 17 19:09
MinceRmakes me wonder who the fuck mozilla is developing their shit for nowMar 17 19:09
DaemonFCMicrosoft product placements everywhere.Mar 17 19:09
MinceRit sure isn't the usersMar 17 19:09
DaemonFCSurface Books. Windows Phones.Mar 17 19:09
oiaohmMinceR: remember the project need money.Mar 17 19:09
MinceRwhat for?Mar 17 19:09
MinceRwhat can they use that money for?Mar 17 19:10
DaemonFCI leaned over to John and said "Oh look, the only person who bought a Windows Phone in the entire world.".Mar 17 19:10
MinceRall they do is add shit nobody needs, rearrange the ui so it becomes less usable, and add tons of bugs everywhere that won't ever get fixed.Mar 17 19:10
MinceRoh, and new "features" that break everything and add nothing usefulMar 17 19:10
DaemonFCMinceR, That describes modern software in general.Mar 17 19:10
MinceRyeahMar 17 19:11
DaemonFCStart over, break everything, let the poor saps try to figure out how to do the same tasks they were doing fine before.Mar 17 19:11
MinceRlike the shiny new ui that makes tabs randomly forget their icons or their contents (including the URL)Mar 17 19:11
DaemonFCLOLMar 17 19:11
DaemonFCYeah, KDE... JesusMar 17 19:11
DaemonFCThe 4 series wasn't even usable day to day until 4.3 was out.Mar 17 19:12
MinceRkde is gone, let it goMar 17 19:12
MinceRkde3 was good, and then it was all overMar 17 19:12
DaemonFCThey tossed out the 3 series even though it was working perfectly fine.Mar 17 19:12
MinceRat least they managed to do 3 major releases before going to hellMar 17 19:12
MinceRgnome only managed 1Mar 17 19:12
oiaohmMinceR: australis the UI rework in Firefox started as attempt to fix the UI up to work with Electrolysis what is multi process support.Mar 17 19:12
DaemonFCMinceR, They wait until everything is working too well and there's no reason to change much of anything.Mar 17 19:12
MinceRoiaohm: yeah, electrolysis also turned out to be perfectly uselessMar 17 19:12
DaemonFCThen they toss it out.Mar 17 19:12
MinceRbut hey, at least they get to break most extensionsMar 17 19:13
MinceRit's not like anyone used failfox for the extensions, right?Mar 17 19:13
DaemonFCMinceR, Ideally, software would be improved incrementally. Mar 17 19:13
DaemonFCThe user says "Hmm, there's a new feature but everything is basically the same.".Mar 17 19:13
DaemonFCInstead, it's this churn and burn process where nothing ever works right and when it does, it's time to start over.Mar 17 19:13
MinceRoh, also, this shiny new ui wastes screen spaces as if i was using a 10x10 grid of 4K displays or somethingMar 17 19:14
DaemonFCI have a 4k display.Mar 17 19:14
oiaohmMinceR: not really electrolysis work was required to make firefox work better on multi core systems as well.  Having almost a single thread to render all open pages and interfaces was not exaclty a good idea.Mar 17 19:14
DaemonFCThe original Windows 10 was horrendous with 4k.Mar 17 19:14
MinceRi have to install MicroFox/MicroMoon if i want to leave some pixels for the actual web pagesMar 17 19:15
DaemonFCThey improved that part, at least.Mar 17 19:15
MinceRoiaohm: yet if one process crashes, the whole browser becomes unusable.Mar 17 19:15
MinceRoiaohm: and as an added bonus, it consumes more RAMMar 17 19:15
MinceRas if "modern" websites didn't waste enough RAM already.Mar 17 19:15
oiaohmMinceR: multi threading support does cost more ram with the ram per thread issue.Mar 17 19:16
MinceRoiaohm: you'll have to tell someone else about that. i think it was DaemonFC. :>Mar 17 19:16
MinceRoh, you said it does cost moreMar 17 19:16
MinceRnever mind, thenMar 17 19:16
oiaohmThe price of supporting multi core cpus is using more ram.Mar 17 19:17
DaemonFCMultiprocess does use a lot of extra RAM.Mar 17 19:17
DaemonFCWith Firefox, there's been this one really big process. With Chrome or Edge, there's a bunch of smaller ones that collectively use 20-30% more.Mar 17 19:17
oiaohmDaemonFC: under Linux at kernel level there is very little difference in cost between a thread and a process.Mar 17 19:18
oiaohmDaemonFC: because the same structures exist anyhow.Mar 17 19:18
DaemonFCWindows processes are much more expensive.Mar 17 19:18
DaemonFCThat's why the RAM use is horrible with browsers like Chrome.Mar 17 19:18
MinceRi wonder why would the rendering of text, images and link need more than one coreMar 17 19:19
oiaohmIt one of the clear difference between OS X/Linux/BSD vs windows.   Windows really does not like multi process applications.Mar 17 19:19
MinceRwhat could possibly so heavy about such a simple task in 2017?Mar 17 19:19
MinceRprocesses are so costly in winblows they wrote svchost.exe to stuff multiple services in one processMar 17 19:19
DaemonFCMinceR, The Chrome Sandbox in Windows uses Integrity Levels.Mar 17 19:19
MinceRdave cutler's design "genius" in action!Mar 17 19:20

DaemonFCIn Windows, the trust level of a process, is System, High, Medium, Low, and AppContainer.Mar 17 19:20

DaemonFCAppConntainer is new to Windows 8.Mar 17 19:20
MinceRooh, AppContainer(tm)!Mar 17 19:20
DaemonFCMinceR, Yeah, by the time you're in AppContainer, the process can't do very much other than ask another process to do something for it.Mar 17 19:21
DaemonFCIt's meant for Windows Store apps and Edge.Mar 17 19:21
MinceRdoes AppContainer(tm) manage to isolate the event loop of a window from the process using the window? :>Mar 17 19:21

XRevan86> Viktor Orbán, is a self-confessed believer in the "illiberal state," which Wikipedia describes as follows: a governing system in which, although elections take place, citizens are  cut off from knowledge about the activities of those who exercise real  power because of the lack of civil liberties. It is not an "open  society".Mar 18 12:17

One_The Battistelli system  I think the scandal regarding the colleague who produced 63 searches and 20 grants in one month deserves a deeper look into.  For anybody who´s ever done a search and an examination it´s clear that 83 products a month (in January) is an impossible achievement. Even if one admits that some of the files were transferred from the previous month, as explained by the director, this is not a remotely credible peMar 12 19:23
One_December is a short month and an average of 40 products per month in two consecutive months which include the winter holidays is in the realm of fantasy. Moreover, if a search is started, according to the new regulations, the examiner has ten days for finishing the search, so if one starts treating files in December without finishing them there will be a lot of red-flagged files in January. Mar 12 19:23
One_That should´ve rung a bell for the director who is supposed to keep an eye on timeliness. He should also have known that the respective production was impossible in the given time period. But enquiries of the staff as to the preposterous 83 products a month were brushed aside by the director in those fateful emails in a knee-jerk reaction that shows that nowadays at he EPO production, even unrealistic, is protected from all criticMar 12 19:23
One_What happened is a compound failure of the examiner and the director, symbolic of the “everything goes” scam system implemented by Battistelli in which production figures are disconnected from quality in spite of the achievements trumpeted by Battistelli in the all too subservient press and his self-serving events. Mar 12 19:24
One_It´s not that quality at all levels is that compromised but the high producer bonus system incentives a low number of greedy examiners to cut corners and attempt to produce a high number of searches and grants regardless of quality in search of the yearly bonus.  If Battistelli really wanted to restore a minimum of credibility to the office he should start by ordering the Quality Control Department to carry out an examination of cMar 12 19:24
One_searches and grants – and make the findings public. Otherwise the EPO will be regarded with even more mistrust and its reputation will continue to sink.   Even better, Battistelli should retire (which he will certainly not do of his own will) or the Administrative Council should finally grow a spine (hard to believe either) and decide to oust him and let somebody else restore the credibility of the EPO after the disastruous yearsMar 12 19:24
One_disastrousMar 12 19:25
One_We´ve seen over and over again that dictators are adulated during their reign and accepted even by democratic countries but after their demise all the dirt comes out from under the carpet tainting all those who supported them in the past. There is no reason to believe that Battistelli will suffer a different fate after his departure. A petty wannabe grand dictator who, fortunately for the world, has ended up mistreating only a EurMar 12 19:25
One_instead of a whole country. With his own secret service, destroying the lives of the inconvenient staff representation members by firing them, one can only imagine his behaviour, and his opponents´end, had he been the president of a Central Asian or African country. Mar 12 19:26

SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, hence being a bit reluctant to just give him this ubuntu tablet to fix as wellMar 12 20:27
razielle_tzuipads are a bitch to do properly if you're not in an apple repair shopMar 12 20:27
SebthreeBQM10HDbut uhmmMar 12 20:27
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, why since non standard parts ?Mar 12 20:27

cubexyzit's a crap systemMar 13 00:31

cubexyzit shields the radio signalsMar 13 07:48
cubexyzthe new stuff like 802.11ac uses 5 ghz exclusivelyMar 13 07:50
oiaohmcubexyz: I am in a house with iron in the brickwork.  That messes with anything wifi you attempt to use.Mar 13 07:54

oiaohmcubexyz: lead paint don't think that would effected it much.  Lead is not exactly the best thing in the world to block radio signals with.Mar 13 07:55

DaemonFCSo, there's two new things going on with Windows 10 that caught my attention.Mar 16 18:08
DaemonFCThe first thing is that there's a nag screen in the April update that warns you about installing a local software package. Spooky language designed to make you feel like you're certainly going to get malware if you do.Mar 16 18:08
DaemonFCThe Win32 API is still fully available to apps in the Windows Store, but Microsoft has ultimate say over what's there and has the same "commission" of 30% that Apple takes.Mar 16 18:09
schestowitzhi DaemonFCMar 16 18:09

DaemonFCI have a feeling that the "choice" to disable the nag screen or click through it is transitioning for a mandatory Windows Store later.Mar 16 18:10

schestowitzThis was posted a short while agoMar 16 18:10
schestowitzmind the tagMar 16 18:10
DaemonFCThen, they have a new update scheduling mechanism that says "Windows is a service and to keep getting this service, you are required to install updates.".Mar 16 18:10
cubexyzyou have no control...Mar 16 18:10
DaemonFCIt's no longer an operating system. It's a "service".Mar 16 18:10
cubexyzjust like with modern PVRsMar 16 18:10
schestowitzor some routers from an ISPMar 16 18:11
schestowitzlike BT'sMar 16 18:11
schestowitzbut DaemonFCMar 16 18:11
schestowitzsee the aboveMar 16 18:11
schestowitzis this related to it?Mar 16 18:11
schestowitzMS imposing its 'free' upgrade againMar 16 18:11
DaemonFCschestowitz, Yeah, there is no option to shut down or restart without upgrading if an upgrade is available.Mar 16 18:11
cubexyzI own my own DSL modem and router thoughMar 16 18:11
cubexyzand use Toronto Free-net... so I do have quite a lot of controlMar 16 18:12
DaemonFCIt spends a lot of time installing it, and it's painful even if you have a really fast SSD.Mar 16 18:12
cubexyzwell everybody I've talked to disliked win10Mar 16 18:12
schestowitzbut are they pushing people to Vista10?Mar 16 18:12
cubexyzthat says enough for meMar 16 18:12
schestowitzOr is this for existing useds [sic]?Mar 16 18:13
DaemonFCThere's some practical advantages to forced upgrades, but that still doesn't make them right, and Microsoft will use them to slip in poison pills that people would've just rejected before.Mar 16 18:13
schestowitzobviouslyMar 16 18:13
schestowitzgoogle does this tooMar 16 18:13
DaemonFCschestowitz, No, they stopped the nags for earlier Windows versions when the free upgrade offer expired.Mar 16 18:13
schestowitzI guess it makes Microsoft feel like, "hey, if Google does it..."Mar 16 18:13
DaemonFCBut the free upgrade never went away, really.Mar 16 18:13
schestowitzDaemonFC: okMar 16 18:13
cubexyzhttp://www.maxhost.org/other/windows-10-botch-up.txtMar 16 18:13
DaemonFCYou can still go to a web page and say "I need this update because I use accessibility features."Mar 16 18:14
DaemonFCThey never check to see if you do, it just generates an upgrade license then and there and doesn't bill you anything.Mar 16 18:14
DaemonFCSo, they left the back door to free upgrades open. The official end was to stop them from trickling off and having news articles saying that they couldn't even give it away after several months.Mar 16 18:14
cubexyzI'd never run a non-FOSS OSMar 16 18:15
cubexyzeven non-FOSS BIOS is a bit dubiousMar 16 18:15
DaemonFCWindows 7 and 8.1 have a new upgrade system though, and it works like Windows 10.Mar 16 18:15
DaemonFCThe only way to avoid it is to install a clean copy and then all the updates up until the point where the new upgrade system was available, and then you're basically running Windows 7 with no security patches past last year.Mar 16 18:16
DaemonFCSo, MSFT did this to make people who were conservative about what updates to install say "Screw it. Might as well use Windows 10.".Mar 16 18:17
schestowitzmore enterprises will look at alternativesMar 16 18:18
schestowitzinc crhome os I guessMar 16 18:18
schestowitzit's malware too, but based on FOSSMar 16 18:18
cubexyzit's really happening nowMar 16 18:18
schestowitzand WIndows is even worse malwareMar 16 18:18
schestowitzsee market share statsMar 16 18:18
schestowitzWindows at 37% for Web trafficMar 16 18:18
DaemonFCMSFT can't get updates to be reliable because they are not Apple. Apple has this thing where they only ever really support maybe 30-35 configurations of Macs at once.Mar 16 18:18
schestowitzand they'd have you believe 95%+Mar 16 18:18
schestowitz(they=Microsoft)Mar 16 18:18
DaemonFCOnce they're over 3-4 years old, you go into the store to have it worked on and the employees actually shame you for having something "that old".Mar 16 18:19
cubexyzhaMar 16 18:19
DaemonFCschestowitz, Yeah, other options, which is one of the reasons I went after Lenovo so aggressively.Mar 16 18:19
DaemonFCWhat if MSFT cuts off Lenovo laptops from new updates in 4-5 years, but your computer is still going to work for another 4-5 years?Mar 16 18:20
DaemonFCIf it can't run another OS, that's a computer in the garbage that was only middle-aged, mechanically. Mar 16 18:20
cubexyzone of my customers likes to brag about his TV from 1972 :)Mar 16 18:20
DaemonFCIt also gives people an out if Windows becomes intolerable for them.Mar 16 18:20
DaemonFCcubexyz, Well, old drivers eventually get removed from Linux too, but by the time even Fedora starts dropping them, they're like 10-12 years old and haven't been properly maintained in a while.Mar 16 18:21
DaemonFCObviously, you can just use CentOS or Ubuntu LTS and milk a few more years past that if you really want to.Mar 16 18:22
cubexyzI still run FC1 24/7Mar 16 18:22
DaemonFCIntel has not been particularly forthcoming about how their newer hardware works.Mar 16 18:22
cubexyzaugmented of course :)Mar 16 18:22
cubexyzwhich drivers has linux retired?Mar 16 18:22
DaemonFCThey released documentation about the RAID controller on the Skylake/Kaby Lake platform, as spillover from my fight with Lenovo.Mar 16 18:23
DaemonFCcubexyz, Old 3dFX stuff. Really old Intel integrated graphics from like 2003.Mar 16 18:23
DaemonFCschestowitz, What really pisses me off is how politically correct and non-offensive the kernel maintainers tend to be. To the point where it's offensively non-offensive.Mar 16 18:24
DaemonFCLike, they were moaning about not getting that documentation and stuff for an entire YEAR and then I ruffle some feathers and Intel releases that and driver code a few weeks later.Mar 16 18:25
DaemonFCThen MJG goes back to saying it was really the fault of the Linux maintainers for not supporting something that was 100% secret.Mar 16 18:25
cubexyzTorvalds isn't non-offensive :)Mar 16 18:26
DaemonFCHow could they support something that has almost a hundred pages of documents that are basically classified by Intel?Mar 16 18:26
DaemonFCThe only other way I can see them doing it is maybe if one of them buys the product and then spends months or even a year reverse engineering it just for the hell of it because it amuses them, getting things wrong the entire way, and then maybe you get a driver that has data corrupting bugs in it.Mar 16 18:27
MinceR16 191002 < DaemonFC> I have a feeling that the "choice" to disable the nag screen or click through it is transitioning for a mandatory Windows Store later.Mar 16 18:28

DaemonFCInteracting with the storage controller is something that you really have to get right or else people who go to use that driver might have data corruption at any time or place. Mar 16 18:28
cubexyz2.4.22 still had 3dfx driver I thinkMar 16 18:28
cubexyznever used it myself thoughMar 16 18:28
MinceRi'd like to not hate winblows and macos so much, but it's impossible when they keep pulling shit like thisMar 16 18:29
DaemonFCcubexyz, tdfx driver was still in the 3.x branch up to a point.Mar 16 18:29
DaemonFCNot sure when the kernel dropped it. I think Fedora 20 did, but it was still in the mainline kernel at that point.Mar 16 18:29
cubexyzon really old hardware I'd just use old software (usually)Mar 16 18:29
DaemonFC3dfx is really bad hardware though.Mar 16 18:29
DaemonFCIt never had a full hardware implementation of any level of OpenGL.Mar 16 18:30
DaemonFCIt supported a small subset that could be implemented in late 90s consumer graphics cards.Mar 16 18:30
DaemonFCThat pared down API was called Glide.Mar 16 18:30
cubexyzI think 3dfx interactive went defunct long ago... 2002 I thinkMar 16 18:30
DaemonFCIt did. Nvidia bought them.Mar 16 18:31
DaemonFCNo, the hardware never even had a Windows XP driver.Mar 16 18:31
DaemonFCNone of it did. The Windows XP support was available through a BETA driver that leaked that was intended for Windows 2000.Mar 16 18:31
DaemonFCThe 3dfx cards used a pass through system that made use of onboard graphics as a framebuffer. That's what you were actually using when you weren't using an application that used Glide or (really awful) DirectX support (in the beta driver near the end of life).Mar 16 18:33
DaemonFCThe cards had no accelerated 2D graphics support.Mar 16 18:33
cubexyzRiva TNT2 is the oldest card I still use, not counting the 486 which isn't really working nowMar 16 18:36
DaemonFCMan, I got totally blindsided by that stock rally after the Fed RAISED rates.Mar 16 18:36
DaemonFCThat's just so counterintuitive that it simply can't go on.Mar 16 18:37
DaemonFCIt's no longer reacting based on reality. The US stock market is now a cult of personality responding to conservatives dumping huge amounts of money into it because they like Donald Trump.Mar 16 18:37
DaemonFCThe problem is that reality has to happen sooner or later, and all of this money that is pouring in now will pour out/vanish at some point relatively quickly (a matter of days). Mar 16 18:38
DaemonFCI see a recession of some kind happening within the next 6-12 months.Mar 16 18:39
DaemonFCI sold all of our stocks on March 1st at their all time high and purchased government debt to hold on for a while.Mar 16 18:40
DaemonFCMy hope is that while investors are throwing themselves out and turning into pavement pizza, that at least our gains are preserved.Mar 16 18:41
DaemonFCI'll buy back into the market after the crash. The rest of the central banks in the world seem to have taken a lesson from Japan that deflationary recessions are something to be avoided at all costs.Mar 16 18:41
DaemonFCThis stupid Thrift Savings Plan forces me to put fully a quarter of my investments into stocks in Japan if I want to get into international markets.Mar 16 18:42
DaemonFCThe upside to it is that we get access to a bond fund that pays out the interest rate on the ten year US Treasury Note and matures every day, so I can get the money back out whenever I want.Mar 16 18:44
DaemonFCThe downside is that the Republicans are controlling the entire government now and there's no evidence that they'll respond to a crisis. They have a history of not only bringing about recessions, but also sitting there doing nothing while things get worse.Mar 16 18:46

MinceRwhere's the workaround for pulseaudio itself being a bloated, buggy pile of shit?Mar 17 22:15
oiaohmMinceR: some of pulseaudio buggyness at times is pulseaudio using more features on ALSA than the applications to are using so finding sound card driver being a buggy pile of trouble.Mar 17 22:16

MinceRapulse is a hack to accommodate broken crap that insists on pulseaudioMar 17 22:26

MinceRit skipped; now it doesn't skipMar 17 22:29
oiaohmMinceR: pure manual testing runs though all the different ways alsa should support playing audio and that at least 1 application out their requests.Mar 17 22:29
MinceRand all the FUD and hostile software and dependencies used as weapons against the user won't change that fact.Mar 17 22:29
*MinceR yawnsMar 17 22:29
oiaohmMinceR: come on alsa-lib does a release are you aware they don't have a even a automated build server to confirm that applies patches even works.Mar 17 22:30
oiaohmMinceR: that they even build.Mar 17 22:30
oiaohmPulseaudio and other sound servers basically have existed because alsa development methods are in need of some serous overhauling.Mar 17 22:31
*MinceR yawns againMar 17 22:31
oiaohmMinceR: so you want to be rid of Pulseaudio what are you going to do fix up alsa so items like hotplugging works.Mar 17 22:32

MinceRif it was so great, ratcrap wouldn't need to use all the dirty tricks from microsoft's book to get people to use itMar 17 22:33
MinceRalso, when will PA stop breaking ALSA's low-level API?Mar 17 22:33
oiaohmSound servers all the way back to esound and artsd fighting with each other should never have been required.Mar 17 22:33
oiaohmMinceR: what do you mean breaking ALSA low-level API.Mar 17 22:34
MinceRblocking it from applicationsMar 17 22:34
oiaohmMinceR: put up what you are refering to.Mar 17 22:34
MinceRi can't, it was a long time agoMar 17 22:34
MinceRi didn't think it was going to be a "use pulseaudio or else" issue eventuallyMar 17 22:34
MinceRi didn't see all this poetteringware and cancerd forcing comingMar 17 22:35
oiaohmMinceR: that was implemented for sound servers before pulseaudio and part alsa standard to allow third party mixing to be added to fix up Alsa broken known defective dmix.Mar 17 22:35
MinceRif i had, i would have given ratcrap's stuff a wide berthMar 17 22:35
MinceRooh, "known defective"Mar 17 22:35
oiaohmMinceR: so my question is when is ALSA sound mixing going to be properly fixed.Mar 17 22:35
MinceRis skipping required by the specification? or by some test suite somewhere? :>Mar 17 22:35
oiaohmMinceR: so we don't need sound servers.Mar 17 22:35
MinceRi don't need sound servers.Mar 17 22:36
MinceRneither does palemoon.Mar 17 22:36
MinceRneither does failfox, if it's built from source, configured properly (not like the morons at mozilla do)Mar 17 22:36
oiaohmMinceR: skipping is in the specification and how the sound card is meant to inform applications so it does not happen.Mar 17 22:36
MinceRalso, if ratcrap manages to kill linux, it will be mootMar 17 22:36
MinceRopenbsd and netbsd probably have this figured out alreadyMar 17 22:37
oiaohmMinceR: does not help that a lot of sound cards drivers in alsa report the wrong buffer and fail to send notification when buffer it getting near empty. Mar 17 22:37
MinceRtoo bad the specification of my audio processing wasn't informed that gratuitous gaps in music playback are to be enjoyed, not avoidedMar 17 22:37
MinceRi guess my brain wasn't designed by poetteringMar 17 22:37
oiaohmopenbsd and netbsd and freebsd use oss that is more sanely designed and has working sound mixing.Mar 17 22:37
MinceRi thought openbsd used sndioMar 17 22:37
oiaohmMinceR: sndio still has working sound mixing.Mar 17 22:38
oiaohmMinceR: alsa has sound mixing that breaks without anything else.Mar 17 22:38
MinceRbreaks how?Mar 17 22:38
oiaohmMinceR: dmix cannot cope with applicaitons wanting to-do different bit depths and speeds at the same time.Mar 17 22:39
oiaohmMinceR: both sndio and oss can cope with that.Mar 17 22:39
MinceRthen i guess they never want to do thatMar 17 22:39
MinceRor perhaps you're working with outdated informationMar 17 22:39
oiaohmNo because under Linux every time someone did that people used sound servers so alsa was never fixed up properly.Mar 17 22:40
oiaohmYes it because alsa was designed to be sound server dependant.Mar 17 22:40

MinceRwell, there's also a bass speaker in there, but it's managed by the speaker unitMar 17 22:43
oiaohmMinceR: 5.1 works correctly with OSS and sndioMar 17 22:43
MinceRoiaohm: are you saying that i should break my audio and get used to skips in music when the system is loaded because somebody else has a 5.1 system?Mar 17 22:43
MinceRthat's just like saying my servers should boot and shutdown unreliably and should be forced to reboot often because somebody wants to run multihead desktops.Mar 17 22:44
oiaohmMinceR: the skips issue with HDA turns up with different applications using ALSA directly without pulseaudio as well.Mar 17 22:44
oiaohmMinceR: because a lot of HDA report the wrong information.Mar 17 22:45
oiaohmMinceR: and there is no valid test suite for those making drivers.Mar 17 22:45

MinceRit's funny how the selling points evaporateMar 17 22:52
oiaohmMinceR: wrong buffersizes wrong clockspeed support all come up from the driver level.Mar 17 22:53
oiaohmMinceR: so if you application asks the alsa driver what it can do and attempt to do it everything goes wrong.Mar 17 22:53
oiaohmMinceR: the thing is here is why does pulseaudio, jack and other sound servers even need a quirk list.Mar 17 22:56
oiaohmMinceR: it a symptom that lower down is broken. Mar 17 22:56
MinceRoiaohm: the thing is that this does not magically make pulseaudio not brokenMar 17 22:57
MinceRoiaohm: and even if it did, it's still rude to force users to one particular sound server with such excusesMar 17 22:57
MinceRoiaohm: especially when the code is already there to use ALSAMar 17 22:58
oiaohmNot exactly.   artsd, jackaudio, esound... every sound server in history has implemented own API/ABI because the ALSA API/ABI is lacking stuff sound servers need.  Like the means to tell applications they are disconnected from audio stop sending stuff to be played.Mar 17 22:59
MinceRwhat "not exactly"?Mar 17 23:00
oiaohmNot what I said other than sound server muting audio when else do you think you would want to tell an application to stop sending audio.Mar 17 23:01

MinceRkde3 was good, and then it was all overMar 17 23:12
DaemonFCThey tossed out the 3 series even though it was working perfectly fine.Mar 17 23:12
MinceRat least they managed to do 3 major releases before going to hellMar 17 23:12
MinceRgnome only managed 1Mar 17 23:12
oiaohmMinceR: australis the UI rework in Firefox started as attempt to fix the UI up to work with Electrolysis what is multi process support.Mar 17 23:12
DaemonFCMinceR, They wait until everything is working too well and there's no reason to change much of anything.Mar 17 23:12
MinceRoiaohm: yeah, electrolysis also turned out to be perfectly uselessMar 17 23:12
DaemonFCThen they toss it out.Mar 17 23:12
MinceRbut hey, at least they get to break most extensionsMar 17 23:12
MinceRit's not like anyone used failfox for the extensions, right?Mar 17 23:13
DaemonFCMinceR, Ideally, software would be improved incrementally. Mar 17 23:13
DaemonFCThe user says "Hmm, there's a new feature but everything is basically the same.".Mar 17 23:13
DaemonFCInstead, it's this churn and burn process where nothing ever works right and when it does, it's time to start over.Mar 17 23:13
MinceRoh, also, this shiny new ui wastes screen spaces as if i was using a 10x10 grid of 4K displays or somethingMar 17 23:14
DaemonFCI have a 4k display.Mar 17 23:14
oiaohmMinceR: not really electrolysis work was required to make firefox work better on multi core systems as well.  Having almost a single thread to render all open pages and interfaces was not exaclty a good idea.Mar 17 23:14
DaemonFCThe original Windows 10 was horrendous with 4k.Mar 17 23:14
MinceRi have to install MicroFox/MicroMoon if i want to leave some pixels for the actual web pagesMar 17 23:14
DaemonFCThey improved that part, at least.Mar 17 23:14
MinceRoiaohm: yet if one process crashes, the whole browser becomes unusable.Mar 17 23:15
MinceRoiaohm: and as an added bonus, it consumes more RAMMar 17 23:15
MinceRas if "modern" websites didn't waste enough RAM already.Mar 17 23:15
oiaohmMinceR: multi threading support does cost more ram with the ram per thread issue.Mar 17 23:16
MinceRoiaohm: you'll have to tell someone else about that. i think it was DaemonFC. :>Mar 17 23:16
MinceRoh, you said it does cost moreMar 17 23:16
MinceRnever mind, thenMar 17 23:16
oiaohmThe price of supporting multi core cpus is using more ram.Mar 17 23:17
DaemonFCMultiprocess does use a lot of extra RAM.Mar 17 23:17
DaemonFCWith Firefox, there's been this one really big process. With Chrome or Edge, there's a bunch of smaller ones that collectively use 20-30% more.Mar 17 23:17
oiaohmDaemonFC: under Linux at kernel level there is very little difference in cost between a thread and a process.Mar 17 23:18
oiaohmDaemonFC: because the same structures exist anyhow.Mar 17 23:18
DaemonFCWindows processes are much more expensive.Mar 17 23:18
DaemonFCThat's why the RAM use is horrible with browsers like Chrome.Mar 17 23:18
MinceRi wonder why would the rendering of text, images and link need more than one coreMar 17 23:18
oiaohmIt one of the clear difference between OS X/Linux/BSD vs windows.   Windows really does not like multi process applications.Mar 17 23:19
MinceRwhat could possibly so heavy about such a simple task in 2017?Mar 17 23:19
MinceRprocesses are so costly in winblows they wrote svchost.exe to stuff multiple services in one processMar 17 23:19
DaemonFCMinceR, The Chrome Sandbox in Windows uses Integrity Levels.Mar 17 23:19
MinceRdave cutler's design "genius" in action!Mar 17 23:19
MinceRDaemonFC: ooh, buzzwords!Mar 17 23:20
DaemonFCIn Windows, the trust level of a process, is System, High, Medium, Low, and AppContainer.Mar 17 23:20
MinceRthe robber barons of redmond throw "ASLR" around as if they invented itMar 17 23:20
DaemonFCAppConntainer is new to Windows 8.Mar 17 23:20
MinceRooh, AppContainer(tm)!Mar 17 23:20
DaemonFCMinceR, Yeah, by the time you're in AppContainer, the process can't do very much other than ask another process to do something for it.Mar 17 23:21
DaemonFCIt's meant for Windows Store apps and Edge.Mar 17 23:21
MinceRdoes AppContainer(tm) manage to isolate the event loop of a window from the process using the window? :>Mar 17 23:21

One_The Battistelli system  I think the scandal regarding the colleague who produced 63 searches and 20 grants in one month deserves a deeper look into.  For anybody who´s ever done a search and an examination it´s clear that 83 products a month (in January) is an impossible achievement. Even if one admits that some of the files were transferred from the previous month, as explained by the director, this is not a remotely credible pMar 12 19:23
One_December is a short month and an average of 40 products per month in two consecutive months which include the winter holidays is in the realm of fantasy. Moreover, if a search is started, according to the new regulations, the examiner has ten days for finishing the search, so if one starts treating files in December without finishing them there will be a lot of red-flagged files in January. Mar 12 19:23
One_That should´ve rung a bell for the director who is supposed to keep an eye on timeliness. He should also have known that the respective production was impossible in the given time period. But enquiries of the staff as to the preposterous 83 products a month were brushed aside by the director in those fateful emails in a knee-jerk reaction that shows that nowadays at he EPO production, even unrealistic, is protected from all critiMar 12 19:23
One_What happened is a compound failure of the examiner and the director, symbolic of the “everything goes” scam system implemented by Battistelli in which production figures are disconnected from quality in spite of the achievements trumpeted by Battistelli in the all too subservient press and his self-serving events. Mar 12 19:24
One_It´s not that quality at all levels is that compromised but the high producer bonus system incentives a low number of greedy examiners to cut corners and attempt to produce a high number of searches and grants regardless of quality in search of the yearly bonus.  If Battistelli really wanted to restore a minimum of credibility to the office he should start by ordering the Quality Control Department to carry out an examination of Mar 12 19:24
One_searches and grants – and make the findings public. Otherwise the EPO will be regarded with even more mistrust and its reputation will continue to sink.   Even better, Battistelli should retire (which he will certainly not do of his own will) or the Administrative Council should finally grow a spine (hard to believe either) and decide to oust him and let somebody else restore the credibility of the EPO after the disastruous yearMar 12 19:24
One_disastrousMar 12 19:25
One_We´ve seen over and over again that dictators are adulated during their reign and accepted even by democratic countries but after their demise all the dirt comes out from under the carpet tainting all those who supported them in the past. There is no reason to believe that Battistelli will suffer a different fate after his departure. A petty wannabe grand dictator who, fortunately for the world, has ended up mistreating only a EuMar 12 19:25
One_instead of a whole country. With his own secret service, destroying the lives of the inconvenient staff representation members by firing them, one can only imagine his behaviour, and his opponents´end, had he been the president of a Central Asian or African country. Mar 12 19:26

SebthreeBQM10HDnowMar 12 19:50
razielle_tzuoh?Mar 12 19:50
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, got two venues for the event again next month, now, but can only go with one of courseMar 12 19:50

razielle_tzucoolMar 12 19:50
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, where went before didn't reply untill earlierMar 12 19:51
SebthreeBQM10HDI emailed about 9 days agoMar 12 19:51
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, and I found out about a more central place and went on thursdya with my other gorup, so went with some of them there on saturday to see the place etcMar 12 19:51
SebthreeBQM10HDand that one is about as central as can getMar 12 19:51
razielle_tzunot badMar 12 19:51
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, however,  got a smaller space there, or as a baseMar 12 19:51
SebthreeBQM10HDmuch smaller  base spaceMar 12 19:52
SebthreeBQM10HDand also been given less time offically, but thats also freeMar 12 19:52
razielle_tzufairMar 12 19:52
razielle_tzui use the computer club room for small scale stuffMar 12 19:52
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, its a cofeee house,  with a floor up stairs, so can probably move out a bit into it etc as wellMar 12 19:52
razielle_tzuone of our sessions coming up is all about back-upsMar 12 19:52
SebthreeBQM10HDbut at the back of that room, is this small meeting room Mar 12 19:52
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, even with a load of marketting on facebook and such its probably still going to be qutie small reallyMar 12 19:53
SebthreeBQM10HDbut I am a bit concerned if say 20 or 30 people turn up at the beginingMar 12 19:53
razielle_tzutry doing it in villages rather than a town/cityMar 12 19:53
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, we can only really have four people demoing things, since  the small space Mar 12 19:53
razielle_tzuthen you'll see small scale :PMar 12 19:53
SebthreeBQM10HDthe room itself they given us can fit the four demoers, plus a few or so visitors Mar 12 19:54
SebthreeBQM10HD12 people in there at mos I Guess with a squeeze Mar 12 19:54
razielle_tzufairMar 12 19:54
SebthreeBQM10HDhats visitors or demoersMar 12 19:54
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, or could go with the otehr place, again,  same day,  longer time, but wtould be at a costMar 12 19:54
SebthreeBQM10HDthing is sure we had a bigger space, but hardly anyone actsaully came down from up stairs,  with the coffee house  well usaully students go there to study etc to that floorMar 12 19:55
SebthreeBQM10HDwith lap tops and yeahMar 12 19:55
razielle_tzuuse whichever you think is more effecientMar 12 19:55
SebthreeBQM10HDrazielle_tzu, so should have some people already outside the room, who should come in for at least a bit of a look I guessMar 12 19:55
SebthreeBQM10HDwell two of the other organisers think this newer place shoujld be better, since more centraal much more centralMar 12 19:56
razielle_tzuyou don't have to highlight me every other lineMar 12 19:56

razielle_tzuunless it's close to a pintMar 12 19:58
SebthreeBQM10HDyep that sounds more like it, and maybe this was close toa  pint, but probably more like a half or 500 mle bottle soMar 12 19:58

oiaohmcubexyz: Lead it not the best thing in 2.4 or 5ghz signal zones.   And lead paint is not that strong in lead.Mar 13 07:57

XRevan86I usually don't drink pop/soda/etc drinks, preferring tea or juice.Mar 14 21:47
MinceRsame for meMar 14 21:47
MinceRor filtered tap waterMar 14 21:47
MinceRor uncarbonated mineral/spring waterMar 14 21:47
MinceRor (more rarely) coffeeMar 14 21:48
XRevan86carbonated water is the worst for my tasteMar 14 21:48
MinceRyeah, i don't like that eitherMar 14 21:50
XRevan86I wonder if people tend to count kvass as pop/soda :).Mar 14 21:50
MinceRthough it does manage to quench my thirst, surprisingly :>Mar 14 21:50
XRevan86(kvass selled in shops is CO2'd)Mar 14 21:50
MinceRi'm guessing russians don't and others doMar 14 21:50
MinceR(since it has a low level of ethanol in it)Mar 14 21:50
XRevan86Having a low level of ethanol has an effect on being counted as pop/soda? :)Mar 14 21:51

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Russia classifies beer as alcoholic - BBC NewsMar 14 21:53
MinceRapparently it was changed a few years agoMar 14 21:53
XRevan86Well, beer is alcoholic.Mar 14 21:54
MinceRyes, but it wasn't classified as such in russia until 2011Mar 14 21:54
XRevan86MinceR: I didn't know that %).Mar 14 21:54
MinceRi only seemed to recall because i saw one of the reports on thisMar 14 21:54
XRevan86Kvass is not considered alcoholic. I was wondering if pop/soda can only be a big branded thing like cola and stuff.Mar 14 21:55
MinceRwell, there are small cola brandsMar 14 21:56
XRevan86By the definition of being CO2'd it is that :).Mar 14 21:56
XRevan86MinceR: If I'm telling somebody I'm drinking pop and then say it's specifically Baikal, will that be in any way unexpected? %)Mar 14 21:59

DaemonFCSo, there's two new things going on with Windows 10 that caught my attention.Mar 16 18:08
DaemonFCThe first thing is that there's a nag screen in the April update that warns you about installing a local software package. Spooky language designed to make you feel like you're certainly going to get malware if you do.Mar 16 18:08
DaemonFCThe Win32 API is still fully available to apps in the Windows Store, but Microsoft has ultimate say over what's there and has the same "commission" of 30% that Apple takes.Mar 16 18:09
schestowitzhi DaemonFCMar 16 18:09
schestowitzI want to show you somethingMar 16 18:09

DaemonFCI have a feeling that the "choice" to disable the nag screen or click through it is transitioning for a mandatory Windows Store later.Mar 16 18:10

schestowitzThis was posted a short while agoMar 16 18:10
schestowitzmind the tagMar 16 18:10
DaemonFCThen, they have a new update scheduling mechanism that says "Windows is a service and to keep getting this service, you are required to install updates.".Mar 16 18:10
cubexyzyou have no control...Mar 16 18:10
DaemonFCIt's no longer an operating system. It's a "service".Mar 16 18:10
cubexyzjust like with modern PVRsMar 16 18:10
schestowitzor some routers from an ISPMar 16 18:11
schestowitzlike BT'sMar 16 18:11
schestowitzbut DaemonFCMar 16 18:11
schestowitzsee the aboveMar 16 18:11
schestowitzis this related to it?Mar 16 18:11
schestowitzMS imposing its 'free' upgrade againMar 16 18:11
DaemonFCschestowitz, Yeah, there is no option to shut down or restart without upgrading if an upgrade is available.Mar 16 18:11
cubexyzI own my own DSL modem and router thoughMar 16 18:11
cubexyzand use Toronto Free-net... so I do have quite a lot of controlMar 16 18:12
DaemonFCIt spends a lot of time installing it, and it's painful even if you have a really fast SSD.Mar 16 18:12
cubexyzwell everybody I've talked to disliked win10Mar 16 18:12
schestowitzbut are they pushing people to Vista10?Mar 16 18:12
cubexyzthat says enough for meMar 16 18:12
schestowitzOr is this for existing useds [sic]?Mar 16 18:13
DaemonFCThere's some practical advantages to forced upgrades, but that still doesn't make them right, and Microsoft will use them to slip in poison pills that people would've just rejected before.Mar 16 18:13
schestowitzobviouslyMar 16 18:13
schestowitzgoogle does this tooMar 16 18:13
DaemonFCschestowitz, No, they stopped the nags for earlier Windows versions when the free upgrade offer expired.Mar 16 18:13
schestowitzI guess it makes Microsoft feel like, "hey, if Google does it..."Mar 16 18:13
DaemonFCBut the free upgrade never went away, really.Mar 16 18:13
schestowitzDaemonFC: okMar 16 18:13
cubexyzhttp://www.maxhost.org/other/windows-10-botch-up.txtMar 16 18:13
DaemonFCYou can still go to a web page and say "I need this update because I use accessibility features."Mar 16 18:14
DaemonFCThey never check to see if you do, it just generates an upgrade license then and there and doesn't bill you anything.Mar 16 18:14
DaemonFCSo, they left the back door to free upgrades open. The official end was to stop them from trickling off and having news articles saying that they couldn't even give it away after several months.Mar 16 18:14
cubexyzI'd never run a non-FOSS OSMar 16 18:15
cubexyzeven non-FOSS BIOS is a bit dubiousMar 16 18:15
DaemonFCWindows 7 and 8.1 have a new upgrade system though, and it works like Windows 10.Mar 16 18:15
DaemonFCThe only way to avoid it is to install a clean copy and then all the updates up until the point where the new upgrade system was available, and then you're basically running Windows 7 with no security patches past last year.Mar 16 18:16
DaemonFCSo, MSFT did this to make people who were conservative about what updates to install say "Screw it. Might as well use Windows 10.".Mar 16 18:17
schestowitzmore enterprises will look at alternativesMar 16 18:18
schestowitzinc crhome os I guessMar 16 18:18
schestowitzit's malware too, but based on FOSSMar 16 18:18
cubexyzit's really happening nowMar 16 18:18

DaemonFCMSFT can't get updates to be reliable because they are not Apple. Apple has this thing where they only ever really support maybe 30-35 configurations of Macs at once.Mar 16 18:18

DaemonFCOnce they're over 3-4 years old, you go into the store to have it worked on and the employees actually shame you for having something "that old".Mar 16 18:19
cubexyzhaMar 16 18:19
DaemonFCschestowitz, Yeah, other options, which is one of the reasons I went after Lenovo so aggressively.Mar 16 18:19
DaemonFCWhat if MSFT cuts off Lenovo laptops from new updates in 4-5 years, but your computer is still going to work for another 4-5 years?Mar 16 18:20
DaemonFCIf it can't run another OS, that's a computer in the garbage that was only middle-aged, mechanically. Mar 16 18:20
cubexyzone of my customers likes to brag about his TV from 1972 :)Mar 16 18:20
DaemonFCIt also gives people an out if Windows becomes intolerable for them.Mar 16 18:20
DaemonFCcubexyz, Well, old drivers eventually get removed from Linux too, but by the time even Fedora starts dropping them, they're like 10-12 years old and haven't been properly maintained in a while.Mar 16 18:21
DaemonFCObviously, you can just use CentOS or Ubuntu LTS and milk a few more years past that if you really want to.Mar 16 18:22
cubexyzI still run FC1 24/7Mar 16 18:22
DaemonFCIntel has not been particularly forthcoming about how their newer hardware works.Mar 16 18:22
cubexyzaugmented of course :)Mar 16 18:22
cubexyzwhich drivers has linux retired?Mar 16 18:22
DaemonFCThey released documentation about the RAID controller on the Skylake/Kaby Lake platform, as spillover from my fight with Lenovo.Mar 16 18:23
DaemonFCcubexyz, Old 3dFX stuff. Really old Intel integrated graphics from like 2003.Mar 16 18:23
DaemonFCschestowitz, What really pisses me off is how politically correct and non-offensive the kernel maintainers tend to be. To the point where it's offensively non-offensive.Mar 16 18:24
DaemonFCLike, they were moaning about not getting that documentation and stuff for an entire YEAR and then I ruffle some feathers and Intel releases that and driver code a few weeks later.Mar 16 18:25
DaemonFCThen MJG goes back to saying it was really the fault of the Linux maintainers for not supporting something that was 100% secret.Mar 16 18:25
cubexyzTorvalds isn't non-offensive :)Mar 16 18:26
DaemonFCHow could they support something that has almost a hundred pages of documents that are basically classified by Intel?Mar 16 18:26
DaemonFCThe only other way I can see them doing it is maybe if one of them buys the product and then spends months or even a year reverse engineering it just for the hell of it because it amuses them, getting things wrong the entire way, and then maybe you get a driver that has data corrupting bugs in it.Mar 16 18:27
MinceR16 191002 < DaemonFC> I have a feeling that the "choice" to disable the nag screen or click through it is transitioning for a mandatory Windows Store later.Mar 16 18:28

DaemonFCInteracting with the storage controller is something that you really have to get right or else people who go to use that driver might have data corruption at any time or place. Mar 16 18:28
cubexyz2.4.22 still had 3dfx driver I thinkMar 16 18:28
cubexyznever used it myself thoughMar 16 18:28
MinceRi'd like to not hate winblows and macos so much, but it's impossible when they keep pulling shit like thisMar 16 18:29
DaemonFCcubexyz, tdfx driver was still in the 3.x branch up to a point.Mar 16 18:29
DaemonFCNot sure when the kernel dropped it. I think Fedora 20 did, but it was still in the mainline kernel at that point.Mar 16 18:29
cubexyzon really old hardware I'd just use old software (usually)Mar 16 18:29
DaemonFC3dfx is really bad hardware though.Mar 16 18:29
DaemonFCIt never had a full hardware implementation of any level of OpenGL.Mar 16 18:30
DaemonFCIt supported a small subset that could be implemented in late 90s consumer graphics cards.Mar 16 18:30
DaemonFCThat pared down API was called Glide.Mar 16 18:30
cubexyzI think 3dfx interactive went defunct long ago... 2002 I thinkMar 16 18:30
DaemonFCIt did. Nvidia bought them.Mar 16 18:31
DaemonFCNo, the hardware never even had a Windows XP driver.Mar 16 18:31
DaemonFCNone of it did. The Windows XP support was available through a BETA driver that leaked that was intended for Windows 2000.Mar 16 18:31
DaemonFCThe 3dfx cards used a pass through system that made use of onboard graphics as a framebuffer. That's what you were actually using when you weren't using an application that used Glide or (really awful) DirectX support (in the beta driver near the end of life).Mar 16 18:33
DaemonFCThe cards had no accelerated 2D graphics support.Mar 16 18:33
cubexyzRiva TNT2 is the oldest card I still use, not counting the 486 which isn't really working nowMar 16 18:36
DaemonFCMan, I got totally blindsided by that stock rally after the Fed RAISED rates.Mar 16 18:36
DaemonFCThat's just so counterintuitive that it simply can't go on.Mar 16 18:37
DaemonFCIt's no longer reacting based on reality. The US stock market is now a cult of personality responding to conservatives dumping huge amounts of money into it because they like Donald Trump.Mar 16 18:37
DaemonFCThe problem is that reality has to happen sooner or later, and all of this money that is pouring in now will pour out/vanish at some point relatively quickly (a matter of days). Mar 16 18:38
DaemonFCI see a recession of some kind happening within the next 6-12 months.Mar 16 18:39
DaemonFCI sold all of our stocks on March 1st at their all time high and purchased government debt to hold on for a while.Mar 16 18:40
DaemonFCMy hope is that while investors are throwing themselves out and turning into pavement pizza, that at least our gains are preserved.Mar 16 18:40
DaemonFCI'll buy back into the market after the crash. The rest of the central banks in the world seem to have taken a lesson from Japan that deflationary recessions are something to be avoided at all costs.Mar 16 18:41
DaemonFCThis stupid Thrift Savings Plan forces me to put fully a quarter of my investments into stocks in Japan if I want to get into international markets.Mar 16 18:42
DaemonFCThe upside to it is that we get access to a bond fund that pays out the interest rate on the ten year US Treasury Note and matures every day, so I can get the money back out whenever I want.Mar 16 18:44
DaemonFCThe downside is that the Republicans are controlling the entire government now and there's no evidence that they'll respond to a crisis. They have a history of not only bringing about recessions, but also sitting there doing nothing while things get worse.Mar 16 18:46

DaemonFCWhen he told me that, I was like, "Finna? What's that?".Mar 17 21:02

DaemonFCI hated my Galaxy S6. It got like four hours on a charge, if you were lucky.Mar 17 21:05
DaemonFCI heard that the government has a new regulation that says that no new cell phones can have a user-replaceable battery. Not sure if that's true or not. If it is, I'll be keeeping my LG G5 for a while.Mar 17 21:06
MinceRthat's shittyMar 17 21:07
MinceRstill, i thought i've read about a recent midrange phone from lenovo (moto) that had a removable batteryMar 17 21:07
DaemonFCYeah, I'm not sure of any reason that ddoesn't involve spyware for that one.Mar 17 21:07
MinceRi guess i'll buy an LG V20 and then hold on to it for a whileMar 17 21:07
DaemonFCMinceR, After dealing with Lenovo last year, I doubt I'd buy another one.Mar 17 21:07

DaemonFCMaybe if they actually do keep allowing Linux to be installed from now on.Mar 17 21:08
DaemonFCThe complaint I filed with the Illinois state government was what kicked them in the nuts.Mar 17 21:08
DaemonFCBefore that, it seemed that no amount of negative media coverage would change their position.Mar 17 21:09
DaemonFCAfter the complaint to the government, they did a complete 180, fixed all existing systems with new BIOSes and announced that the 910 would allow AHCI mode in the default BIOS.Mar 17 21:09
DaemonFCI can see why companies want to tear down government regulations.Mar 17 21:09
DaemonFCOn a related note, our current landlords are having a hell of a time with Chicago's anti-slumlord laws.Mar 17 21:10
DaemonFCThey've been written up and ordered to fix something in this building 93 times since we moved in last year.Mar 17 21:10
DaemonFCThings still aren't right, but they've been forced to fix the worst of it.Mar 17 21:11
DaemonFCEverything from leaking plumbing, to backed up drains, to rotting stairwells, to exterior work because pieces of the building were falling off onto the sidewalk, to rodent control....Mar 17 21:12
DaemonFCA bunch of stuff.Mar 17 21:12
DaemonFCWe're getting the hell out of here before the end of the month. We put down on a new apartment in Roger's Park. It's more expensive, but only slightly, and it's twice as big, all utilities paid by the landlord, and in a much nicer building.Mar 17 21:12
DaemonFCViolent crime rate in the neighborhood is 1/5th of what it is where we live now.Mar 17 21:13
DaemonFCI pulled up the public records before we signed a lease this time. The place where we live now has been awful.Mar 17 21:13
DaemonFCOn top of the violations, they were fined about $10,000 last year.Mar 17 21:14
DaemonFCChicago Department of Revenue probably loves them.Mar 17 21:14
DaemonFCTheir property tax bill for this place is running $58,000 a year now.Mar 17 21:14
DaemonFCThey were appealing it each year, but they quit doing it because the appeals were being denied and the lawyer gets paid anyway.Mar 17 21:15
DaemonFCIt's not just the number of apartments, it's the footprint of the building.Mar 17 21:15
DaemonFCThe only reason this thing is still standing is because they built great stuff in the 1920s.Mar 17 21:16

MinceRalso, pulseaudio won't work without alsa eitherMar 17 22:14
oiaohmMinceR: pulseaudio in fact includes a lot of detect broken combination apply work around.Mar 17 22:15
MinceRwhere's the workaround for pulseaudio itself being a bloated, buggy pile of shit?Mar 17 22:15
oiaohmMinceR: some of pulseaudio buggyness at times is pulseaudio using more features on ALSA than the applications to are using so finding sound card driver being a buggy pile of trouble.Mar 17 22:16
MinceRalso, i don't need the retards at mozilla to pick audio drivers for meMar 17 22:17

oiaohmBut of course is does not have pulseaudio quirks data.Mar 17 22:19
oiaohmAlsa it self does not have any valid way of storing sound card quirks/ features not to touch with a ten foot barge poll when using X driver.Mar 17 22:19
MinceRapulse is a hack to accommodate broken crap that insists on pulseaudioMar 17 22:26
MinceRand pulseaudio is poetteringwareMar 17 22:26
MinceRi prefer to avoid broken crapMar 17 22:26
oiaohmMinceR: alsa is broken crap.Mar 17 22:27
oiaohmMinceR: Find a automated test suite for ALSA it does not exist.Mar 17 22:27
MinceRand despite all the FUD, intel/conexant HDA and soundblaster omni are both working fineMar 17 22:27
oiaohmMinceR: other than pulseaudio one.Mar 17 22:27
oiaohmMinceR: to be correct intel/conexant HDA if you run everything in the alsa-lib test directory you will find things that should work that don't.Mar 17 22:28
MinceRi don't use my audio hardware to run test suitesMar 17 22:28
MinceRi use my audio hardware to play audioMar 17 22:28
MinceRmusic, video and games all work fineMar 17 22:28
MinceRwhich they did not with PAMar 17 22:28
MinceRit skipped; now it doesn't skipMar 17 22:29
oiaohmMinceR: pure manual testing runs though all the different ways alsa should support playing audio and that at least 1 application out their requests.Mar 17 22:29
MinceRand all the FUD and hostile software and dependencies used as weapons against the user won't change that fact.Mar 17 22:29
*MinceR yawnsMar 17 22:29
oiaohmMinceR: come on alsa-lib does a release are you aware they don't have a even a automated build server to confirm that applies patches even works.Mar 17 22:30
oiaohmMinceR: that they even build.Mar 17 22:30
oiaohmPulseaudio and other sound servers basically have existed because alsa development methods are in need of some serous overhauling.Mar 17 22:31
*MinceR yawns againMar 17 22:31
oiaohmMinceR: so you want to be rid of Pulseaudio what are you going to do fix up alsa so items like hotplugging works.Mar 17 22:32
MinceRoiaohm: how many more of these lines will it take to fix pulseaudio?Mar 17 22:32
MinceRalso, even if it was the way you say, that still doesn't justify forcing pulseaudio on usersMar 17 22:32
oiaohmMinceR: I have never liked any sound serverMar 17 22:32
oiaohmMinceR: I have always looked at them as hacks.Mar 17 22:33
MinceRif PA is so great, let it succeed by its virtues, not by forcing it on usersMar 17 22:33
MinceRsame is true for cancerdMar 17 22:33
oiaohmMinceR: and it always because the low systems are not fixed.Mar 17 22:33
MinceRif it was so great, ratcrap wouldn't need to use all the dirty tricks from microsoft's book to get people to use itMar 17 22:33
MinceRalso, when will PA stop breaking ALSA's low-level API?Mar 17 22:33
oiaohmSound servers all the way back to esound and artsd fighting with each other should never have been required.Mar 17 22:33
oiaohmMinceR: what do you mean breaking ALSA low-level API.Mar 17 22:34
MinceRblocking it from applicationsMar 17 22:34
oiaohmMinceR: put up what you are refering to.Mar 17 22:34
MinceRi can't, it was a long time agoMar 17 22:34
MinceRi didn't think it was going to be a "use pulseaudio or else" issue eventuallyMar 17 22:34
MinceRi didn't see all this poetteringware and cancerd forcing comingMar 17 22:35
oiaohmMinceR: that was implemented for sound servers before pulseaudio and part alsa standard to allow third party mixing to be added to fix up Alsa broken known defective dmix.Mar 17 22:35
MinceRif i had, i would have given ratcrap's stuff a wide berthMar 17 22:35
MinceRooh, "known defective"Mar 17 22:35
oiaohmMinceR: so my question is when is ALSA sound mixing going to be properly fixed.Mar 17 22:35
MinceRis skipping required by the specification? or by some test suite somewhere? :>Mar 17 22:35
oiaohmMinceR: so we don't need sound servers.Mar 17 22:35
MinceRi don't need sound servers.Mar 17 22:36
MinceRneither does palemoon.Mar 17 22:36
MinceRneither does failfox, if it's built from source, configured properly (not like the morons at mozilla do)Mar 17 22:36
oiaohmMinceR: skipping is in the specification and how the sound card is meant to inform applications so it does not happen.Mar 17 22:36
MinceRalso, if ratcrap manages to kill linux, it will be mootMar 17 22:36
MinceRopenbsd and netbsd probably have this figured out alreadyMar 17 22:36
oiaohmMinceR: does not help that a lot of sound cards drivers in alsa report the wrong buffer and fail to send notification when buffer it getting near empty. Mar 17 22:37
MinceRtoo bad the specification of my audio processing wasn't informed that gratuitous gaps in music playback are to be enjoyed, not avoidedMar 17 22:37
MinceRi guess my brain wasn't designed by poetteringMar 17 22:37
oiaohmopenbsd and netbsd and freebsd use oss that is more sanely designed and has working sound mixing.Mar 17 22:37
MinceRi thought openbsd used sndioMar 17 22:37
oiaohmMinceR: sndio still has working sound mixing.Mar 17 22:38
oiaohmMinceR: alsa has sound mixing that breaks without anything else.Mar 17 22:38
MinceRbreaks how?Mar 17 22:38
oiaohmMinceR: dmix cannot cope with applicaitons wanting to-do different bit depths and speeds at the same time.Mar 17 22:39
oiaohmMinceR: both sndio and oss can cope with that.Mar 17 22:39
MinceRthen i guess they never want to do thatMar 17 22:39
MinceRor perhaps you're working with outdated informationMar 17 22:39
oiaohmNo because under Linux every time someone did that people used sound servers so alsa was never fixed up properly.Mar 17 22:40
oiaohmYes it because alsa was designed to be sound server dependant.Mar 17 22:40
MinceR[citation needed]Mar 17 22:40
oiaohmMinceR: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-913432-start-0.html  I cannot find the email back in early alsa development at the moment where dmix limit support was justified.  Like systems with more than 2 speakers existed when the first lines of dmix was coded.Mar 17 22:42
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-forums.gentoo.org | Gentoo Forums :: View topic - ALSA dmix not working Intel HDA [Solved]Mar 17 22:42
oiaohmMinceR: yet dmix only support 2 speakers.Mar 17 22:42
MinceRi have 2 speakersMar 17 22:43
oiaohmMinceR: what about a person with 5.1Mar 17 22:43
MinceRwell, there's also a bass speaker in there, but it's managed by the speaker unitMar 17 22:43
oiaohmMinceR: 5.1 works correctly with OSS and sndioMar 17 22:43
MinceRoiaohm: are you saying that i should break my audio and get used to skips in music when the system is loaded because somebody else has a 5.1 system?Mar 17 22:43
MinceRthat's just like saying my servers should boot and shutdown unreliably and should be forced to reboot often because somebody wants to run multihead desktops.Mar 17 22:44
oiaohmMinceR: the skips issue with HDA turns up with different applications using ALSA directly without pulseaudio as well.Mar 17 22:44
oiaohmMinceR: because a lot of HDA report the wrong information.Mar 17 22:45
oiaohmMinceR: and there is no valid test suite for those making drivers.Mar 17 22:45
MinceRoiaohm: also, what if i wanted to use a sound server other than PA?Mar 17 22:45
MinceRis that heresy?Mar 17 22:45
oiaohmMinceR: I use jackaudio as well and I had particular cards skip and do stuff stupid with it as well.Mar 17 22:46
MinceRso, am i the sysadmin of my own computers, or is poettering the sysadmin of my own computers?Mar 17 22:47
oiaohmMinceR: a lot of issue put on PA are not PA its the lower level being absolutely bad.Mar 17 22:47
MinceRyet it magically goes away if i get rid of PAMar 17 22:47
MinceRand still, i am not to get rid of PA because the high priest said so.Mar 17 22:47
MinceRoiaohm: i really miss the time when free software was about freedom.Mar 17 22:48
oiaohmMinceR: PA attempt to use larger buffer sizes and what the driver reported it could handle.   Lot of application just pick their own buffer size and throw that at sound card.Mar 17 22:48
MinceRso, where are your magical quirk lists now?Mar 17 22:48
oiaohmhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Choppy_sound_with_analog_surround_sound_setup   Please frequency = 48000 having to be set in openal that uses alsa directly at times to avoid alsa being choppy.Mar 17 22:51
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-wiki.archlinux.org | PulseAudio/Troubleshooting - ArchWikiMar 17 22:51
oiaohmMinceR: pulseaudio include a lot of manual controls to allow setting to sound card because quirk list is not complete.Mar 17 22:52
MinceRit's funny how the selling points evaporateMar 17 22:52
oiaohmMinceR: wrong buffersizes wrong clockspeed support all come up from the driver level.Mar 17 22:53
oiaohmMinceR: so if you application asks the alsa driver what it can do and attempt to do it everything goes wrong.Mar 17 22:53
oiaohmMinceR: the thing is here is why does pulseaudio, jack and other sound servers even need a quirk list.Mar 17 22:56
oiaohmMinceR: it a symptom that lower down is broken. Mar 17 22:56
MinceRoiaohm: the thing is that this does not magically make pulseaudio not brokenMar 17 22:57
MinceRoiaohm: and even if it did, it's still rude to force users to one particular sound server with such excusesMar 17 22:57
MinceRoiaohm: especially when the code is already there to use ALSAMar 17 22:57
oiaohmNot exactly.   artsd, jackaudio, esound... every sound server in history has implemented own API/ABI because the ALSA API/ABI is lacking stuff sound servers need.  Like the means to tell applications they are disconnected from audio stop sending stuff to be played.Mar 17 22:59
MinceRwhat "not exactly"?Mar 17 23:00
oiaohmNot what I said other than sound server muting audio when else do you think you would want to tell an application to stop sending audio.Mar 17 23:01
oiaohmNot/NoteMar 17 23:01
MinceRdepends on the applicationMar 17 23:01
oiaohmMinceR: what about if you disconenct the speakers or pull the usb sound card out or change where the speakers are connected....Mar 17 23:02
MinceRusually i quit the audio player, then unplug the usb sound cardMar 17 23:02
MinceRif i want to use the builtin audio hw, i edit my .asoundrcMar 17 23:02
oiaohmMinceR: if you forget things don't go right.Mar 17 23:02
MinceRi still should have the freedom to do soMar 17 23:03
MinceRespecially when PA would waste CPU and RAMMar 17 23:03
MinceRsome people have 5.1 audio systems and multiseat desktops. well, i have weak computers.Mar 17 23:03
oiaohmYes I am not saying you should not have the freedom to use ALSA but it also should work right.Mar 17 23:03
MinceRactually, that's what you've been arguing for almost an hourMar 17 23:03
MinceRoh, also, i have a laptopMar 17 23:04
MinceRthe battery lasts longer if useless crap like PA and libvirtd don't get to waste power for nothingMar 17 23:04

oiaohmWhy we are getting stuck with sound servers and this goes back to esound. artsd and before because the lower sound stuff is not getting fixed.Mar 17 23:04
oiaohmAnd application developers don't want to deal with quirks.Mar 17 23:05
DaemonFCMinceR, I decided to go bargain shopping thanks to the strong dollar.Mar 17 23:05
DaemonFCI bought up shares of an index fund that tracks the MSCI EAFE index.Mar 17 23:05
oiaohmPulseaudio becomes application developers scape goat when audio does not work instead of user blaming them in most cases.Mar 17 23:05
MinceRthen perhaps application developers should look for a job they're qualified forMar 17 23:05
MinceRperhaps they should look into developing applications that don't need audio.Mar 17 23:06
DaemonFCThe dollar is hugely overvalued right now, so it makes foreign investing mighty tempting.Mar 17 23:06
MinceRin general, if mozilla can't improve firefox even though they have money, they shouldn't try to work around that by spending money on making firefox worse insteadMar 17 23:06
MinceRif they just burned the money, even that would be less of a waste than what they're doingMar 17 23:07

DaemonFCEverything is overvalued, especially Microsoft.Mar 17 23:07
oiaohmMinceR: not having money it cost resources to maintain alsa working with all the quirks it has.   It also cheaper for application developers to drop alsa support and mandate uses use pulseaudio.Mar 17 23:07
DaemonFCP/E of 30.5? Fuck.Mar 17 23:07
MinceRapparently destructive change for the sake of change is the "trendy", "cool", "modern" thing to do nowadaysMar 17 23:07

MinceRoiaohm: it's also cheaper to not develop bullshit such as australis, or that pocket bullshit, or EME support, or patent-encumbered codec supportMar 17 23:08
DaemonFCMinceR, Yeah, I owned some Microsoft and Apple in there somewhere, but I sold at an all time high, so I'm feeling good about that.Mar 17 23:08
DaemonFCLet the big shitpile come down on someone else.Mar 17 23:08
MinceRthe alternative is literally doing nothingMar 17 23:08
MinceRwhich costs literally nothingMar 17 23:08
oiaohmMinceR: pocket bullshit they paid for the location.   So that was income.Mar 17 23:09
MinceRgood for themMar 17 23:09
MinceRtoo bad every user got the shaftMar 17 23:09
DaemonFCMinceR, We went to see that movie "Get Out" the other day.Mar 17 23:09
MinceRmakes me wonder who the fuck mozilla is developing their shit for nowMar 17 23:09
DaemonFCMicrosoft product placements everywhere.Mar 17 23:09
MinceRit sure isn't the usersMar 17 23:09
DaemonFCSurface Books. Windows Phones.Mar 17 23:09
oiaohmMinceR: remember the project need money.Mar 17 23:09
MinceRwhat for?Mar 17 23:09
MinceRwhat can they use that money for?Mar 17 23:09
DaemonFCI leaned over to John and said "Oh look, the only person who bought a Windows Phone in the entire world.".Mar 17 23:10
MinceRall they do is add shit nobody needs, rearrange the ui so it becomes less usable, and add tons of bugs everywhere that won't ever get fixed.Mar 17 23:10
MinceRoh, and new "features" that break everything and add nothing usefulMar 17 23:10
DaemonFCMinceR, That describes modern software in general.Mar 17 23:10
MinceRyeahMar 17 23:10
DaemonFCStart over, break everything, let the poor saps try to figure out how to do the same tasks they were doing fine before.Mar 17 23:11
MinceRlike the shiny new ui that makes tabs randomly forget their icons or their contents (including the URL)Mar 17 23:11
DaemonFCLOLMar 17 23:11
DaemonFCYeah, KDE... JesusMar 17 23:11
DaemonFCThe 4 series wasn't even usable day to day until 4.3 was out.Mar 17 23:11
MinceRkde is gone, let it goMar 17 23:12
MinceRkde3 was good, and then it was all overMar 17 23:12
DaemonFCThey tossed out the 3 series even though it was working perfectly fine.Mar 17 23:12
MinceRat least they managed to do 3 major releases before going to hellMar 17 23:12
MinceRgnome only managed 1Mar 17 23:12
oiaohmMinceR: australis the UI rework in Firefox started as attempt to fix the UI up to work with Electrolysis what is multi process support.Mar 17 23:12
DaemonFCMinceR, They wait until everything is working too well and there's no reason to change much of anything.Mar 17 23:12
MinceRoiaohm: yeah, electrolysis also turned out to be perfectly uselessMar 17 23:12
DaemonFCThen they toss it out.Mar 17 23:12
MinceRbut hey, at least they get to break most extensionsMar 17 23:12
MinceRit's not like anyone used failfox for the extensions, right?Mar 17 23:13
DaemonFCMinceR, Ideally, software would be improved incrementally. Mar 17 23:13
DaemonFCThe user says "Hmm, there's a new feature but everything is basically the same.".Mar 17 23:13
DaemonFCInstead, it's this churn and burn process where nothing ever works right and when it does, it's time to start over.Mar 17 23:13
MinceRoh, also, this shiny new ui wastes screen spaces as if i was using a 10x10 grid of 4K displays or somethingMar 17 23:14
DaemonFCI have a 4k display.Mar 17 23:14
oiaohmMinceR: not really electrolysis work was required to make firefox work better on multi core systems as well.  Having almost a single thread to render all open pages and interfaces was not exaclty a good idea.Mar 17 23:14
DaemonFCThe original Windows 10 was horrendous with 4k.Mar 17 23:14
MinceRi have to install MicroFox/MicroMoon if i want to leave some pixels for the actual web pagesMar 17 23:14
DaemonFCThey improved that part, at least.Mar 17 23:14
MinceRoiaohm: yet if one process crashes, the whole browser becomes unusable.Mar 17 23:15
MinceRoiaohm: and as an added bonus, it consumes more RAMMar 17 23:15
MinceRas if "modern" websites didn't waste enough RAM already.Mar 17 23:15
oiaohmMinceR: multi threading support does cost more ram with the ram per thread issue.Mar 17 23:16
MinceRoiaohm: you'll have to tell someone else about that. i think it was DaemonFC. :>Mar 17 23:16
MinceRoh, you said it does cost moreMar 17 23:16
MinceRnever mind, thenMar 17 23:16
oiaohmThe price of supporting multi core cpus is using more ram.Mar 17 23:16
DaemonFCMultiprocess does use a lot of extra RAM.Mar 17 23:17
DaemonFCWith Firefox, there's been this one really big process. With Chrome or Edge, there's a bunch of smaller ones that collectively use 20-30% more.Mar 17 23:17
oiaohmDaemonFC: under Linux at kernel level there is very little difference in cost between a thread and a process.Mar 17 23:17
oiaohmDaemonFC: because the same structures exist anyhow.Mar 17 23:18
DaemonFCWindows processes are much more expensive.Mar 17 23:18
DaemonFCThat's why the RAM use is horrible with browsers like Chrome.Mar 17 23:18
MinceRi wonder why would the rendering of text, images and link need more than one coreMar 17 23:18
oiaohmIt one of the clear difference between OS X/Linux/BSD vs windows.   Windows really does not like multi process applications.Mar 17 23:19
MinceRwhat could possibly so heavy about such a simple task in 2017?Mar 17 23:19
MinceRprocesses are so costly in winblows they wrote svchost.exe to stuff multiple services in one processMar 17 23:19
DaemonFCMinceR, The Chrome Sandbox in Windows uses Integrity Levels.Mar 17 23:19
MinceRdave cutler's design "genius" in action!Mar 17 23:19
MinceRDaemonFC: ooh, buzzwords!Mar 17 23:20
DaemonFCIn Windows, the trust level of a process, is System, High, Medium, Low, and AppContainer.Mar 17 23:20
MinceRthe robber barons of redmond throw "ASLR" around as if they invented itMar 17 23:20
DaemonFCAppConntainer is new to Windows 8.Mar 17 23:20
MinceRooh, AppContainer(tm)!Mar 17 23:20
DaemonFCMinceR, Yeah, by the time you're in AppContainer, the process can't do very much other than ask another process to do something for it.Mar 17 23:21
DaemonFCIt's meant for Windows Store apps and Edge.Mar 17 23:21
MinceRdoes AppContainer(tm) manage to isolate the event loop of a window from the process using the window? :>Mar 17 23:21
DaemonFCAlthough it is available to "classic" apps too.Mar 17 23:21

XRevan86> Viktor Orbán, is a self-confessed believer in the "illiberal state," which Wikipedia describes as follows: a governing system in which, although elections take place, citizens are  cut off from knowledge about the activities of those who exercise real  power because of the lack of civil liberties. It is not an "open  society".Mar 18 16:17
