schestowitz <p>It is the kind of news we usually associate with war zones, but this bombing took place in Linköping, a peaceful university town in southern Sweden. Remarkably, it was not the only explosion in the country that day; another, seemingly unrelated, blast was reported in a parking lot in the city of Gothenburg earlier in the morning. Three explosions have been reported in Malmö since Tuesday morning. As of this writing, no arrests have Jun 16 16:24

acer-boxproblem is that trisquel is pretty much fsfs flagship distro. i know it used to be gnewsense (still important because architectures trisquel doesnt cover) and its not going to be trisquel forever (if guix were userfriendly, or hyperbola were ready, that could be the next one.)Jun 19 01:54
acer-boxit seems unfair to both trisquel and the fsf for this to happen to hardware support. if we all had suitable sbcs for replacing a server or laptop, this would be fine. if i can throw out a 4-core laptop and use a riscv board and trisquel will support it when it drops 32bit, i guess thats ok?Jun 19 01:54
acer-boxbut trisquel was solid. it just got flimsier-- and thats after being saddled with systemd. im just going to tell people to forget trisquel, its got less to offer than ever. ubuntu is dropping upstart and has no systemd alternative at all. its a bad time. not getting better.Jun 19 01:54

schestowitztechies arent “too proud to learn new things.” theyre too experienced to assume newer is always better.Jun 19 08:17
schestowitzthis sort of technological conservatism results in greater stability and reliability of platforms, and it is exaggerated to ad hom the responsible (for the benefit of hocking the new thing.) #poetteringJun 19 08:17
schestowitzwhy would someone who knows better promote something broken, inferior and cloying, just because it dishonestly conflates better with new? if you want to know the real “problem” with techies, its that some of them are smarter than that.Jun 19 08:17

schestowitzThe reality, however, is that we live in a capitalist world. Our socialist free software utopia is ripe for exploitation by capitalists, and they’ll be rewarded for doing so. Capitalism is about enriching yourself - not enriching your users and certainly not enriching society. - Your parents probably taught you about the Golden Rule when you were young: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

schestowitzand by “less slanted” i mean it is simply broader politically.Jun 20 08:28
schestowitzone of the reasons i try to lean away from painting free software as “socialist” or “libertarian” (apart from trying to be technically accurate) is that it can and should appeal to more than one political group. free software does not discriminate against the political spectrum. it is one of those rare things that works across the board. i prefer to promote it as such.Jun 20 08:28

schestowitz@tomgrz, “less free” is not accurate IMHO. that’s probably mistaking power (to do unto others) with freedom (to control your own life). the permissions that the GPL does not grant, and that are required by copyright, are those that would grant power over others, not freedom. furthermore, it’s not the GPL that takes that power away, it’s copyright law; the GPL just carefully refrains from standing in copyright’s restrictive Jun 20 08:28

schestowitzalbeit followed up with “in a good way”, my thought on, copyleft/permissive, in general, is that copyleft (like gpl) is “free and free alike”, whereas permissive “free and free to be non-free” (or “free and free to un-free”).Jun 20 08:28

schestowitz"Jun 20 16:12
schestowitzWhen looking at Art 10 of the Statute, I would not be inclined to apply for a job as judge at the UPC.Jun 20 16:12
schestowitzAccording to Art 10(1) Statute, “A judge may be deprived of his or her office or of other benefits only if the Praesidium decides that that judge no longer fulfils the requisite conditions or meets the obligations arising from his or her office. The judge concerned shall be heard but shall not take part in the deliberations.”Jun 20 16:12
schestowitzThe whole statute is silent about means of redress for a judge removed from Office. It is an internal decision of the Praesidium which cannot presently be challenged whatsoever.Jun 20 16:12
schestowitzIt could for instance have been the Court of Appeal sitting in the composition when deciding upon a referral, cf. R 238A UPC. It could have been the CJEU, but as the CJEU should play a role as small as possible in the UPCA, this possibility was clearly not envisaged.Jun 20 16:12
schestowitzAs for many supranational organisations, it might be the Administrative Tribunal of the International Labour Organisation in Geneva (ILO-AT). The Statute is silent on this point either. The experience shown when dealing with complaints of staff members of the EPO, it is not a court one could rely upon to see his rights guaranteed. Unless the management of a supranational organisation makes a gross mistake, the ILO-AT merely checks if the Jun 20 16:12
schestowitzprocedure has been respected, but not if the procedure is unfair or biased in favour of management. Jun 20 16:12
schestowitzThe same considerations are valid presently for the position of member of the Boards of Appeal of the EPO, as it is the clear aim of the new regulations to dismiss some of them after a first five year period, as it is the case for newly recruited examiners. Unless I would have a possibility to go back in my previous job, it is a delicate decision to take. This is the more so nowadays, as on top of it, former members of the Boards have to Jun 20 16:12
schestowitzask permission by the AC of the EPO to exercise any activity be it gainful or not.Jun 20 16:12
schestowitzOne could expect that judges of the UPC might be later faced by a similar decision of the Administrative Committee of the UPCA.Jun 20 16:12
schestowitzThe whole idea to have judges which can be reappointed, but where the reappointment criteria are not public, does not correspond to the idea of a truly independent judge. At the UPC it is even worse as judges can be part-time judges! See Art 3(5 and 6)-Statute. I do not know any legal system in which part-time judges are employed when it comes to dealing with multi-million assets.Jun 20 16:12

schestowitz(1) The UK also has disclaimers under section 13 of the Trade Marks Act 1994. They are rarely, if ever, demanded by examiners today but they used to be a frequent requirement and there must be many old registrations that continue to be subject to them.Jun 20 16:49
schestowitz(2) The Court seems to assume that the disclaimed element must be descriptive. However, disclaimers can also be requested voluntarily, e.g. in settlement of a dispute, and in those circumstances the disclaimed element can be inherently distinctive. The disclaimer is effectively a public promise not to enforce the trade mark against users of the earlier right.Jun 20 16:49

schestowitzKnowing about a vuln and not telling the developer about it should be a crime, with a fine no business or government can pay without bankrupting itself. Whistleblowers should be paid a bounty, from the fine, to encourage enforcement. If the developer doesn’t warn users, that should also be a crime. If the code is totally anonymous, the discoverer of the vuln should warn the world, wait a while, and then disclose everything.Jun 21 07:51

schestowitzjust bad law. if people report anything remotely suspicious, because they are afraid of the consequences of not reporting it, theyre going to waste the time of people who need to realistically triage threats. ultimately you need too many people who can predict the future.Jun 21 07:52
schestowitzif you make a law that penalises not reporting something, youre going to get people a. reporting anything suspicious and b. covering up things they might have noticed but werent sure about, because the cost is too high of risking being accused of sitting on it. someone might think this is a good solution, but that someone probably never wrote a good law.Jun 21 07:52

schestowitzwarning  : Number of rows changed from 120750 to 120751"Jun 21 11:19

schestowitzIf you thrash around "Nat Sec" you will see things I never have time for anymore (except on holidays). CC, Nature and tech (Eff+techdirt) anything you want? I need to read "Linux" stuff very fast to make tuxmachines competitive.Jun 21 11:24

schestowitzI would struggle doing news picks with emacs after 10+ years doing that with kate. Lots of downsides to it. Better to partition by topics, I think.Jun 21 11:27

schestowitzSo, the missing piece is  what I hate most because I suck at it: setting up passwordless ssh login between the two VMs. Can you give that I go? Do you think one local and one 'remote' (same hv, different vm) backup a day is enough?Jun 22 08:38

schestowitz<blockquote>At Endless, we maintain downstream translations for an number of GNOME projects, such as gnome-software, gnome-control-center and gnome-initial-setup. Jun 22 08:47
schestowitz[...]Jun 22 08:47
schestowitzWhenever we update to a new version of GNOME, we have to reconcile our downstream translations with the changes from upstream. We want to preserve our intentional downstream changes, and keep our translations for strings that don’t exist upstream; but we also want to pull in translations for new upstream strings, as well as improved translations for existing strings. Earlier this year, the translation-rebase baton was passed to me. My Jun 22 08:47
schestowitzpredecessor would manually reapply our downstream changes for a set of officially-supported languages, but unlike him, I can pretty much only speak English, so I needed something a bit more mechanical.Jun 22 08:47
schestowitzI spoke to various people from other distros about this problem.1 A common piece of advice was to not maintain downstream translation changes: appealing, but not really an option at the moment. I also heard that Ubuntu follows a straightforward rule: once the translation for a string has been changed downstream, all future upstream changes to the translation for that string are ignored. The assumption is that all downstream changes to a Jun 22 08:47
schestowitztranslation must have been made for a reason, and should be preserved. This is essentially a superset of what we’ve done manually in the past.Jun 22 08:47
schestowitzI wrote a little tool to implement this logic, pomerge. Its “rebase” mode takes the last common upstream ancestor, the last downstream commit, and a working copy with the newest downstream code. For each locale, for each string in the translation in the working copy, it compares the old upstream and downstream translations – if they differ, it merges the latter into the working copy. </blockquote></li>Jun 22 08:47

schestowitzBefore we cron this, did you make a template for dump rotation/deletion? One issue I had with TM was that if the VM crashed during backup it would leave behind it old backups that killed up the partition. I 'fixed' that by always deleting 2-3 days further than yesterday's backup, just in caseJun 22 19:28
schestowitzAlso, to reduce server load, maybe not compress the file? I've long considered doing that with other dumps too, seeing how they make the CPU scream even if nice'd.Jun 22 19:28

schestowitz>> you have a better solution for hatespeech then? latestly if discussing does not work (which doesn’t with prep).Jun 22 19:32
schestowitz> the problem with going after hatespeech is that it spirals into absurd amounts of censorship. and things like people painting swastikas to make it look like things are worse than they are (jessie smollet, etc.)Jun 22 19:32
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:32
schestowitz> that doesnt meant that nazis arent a problem, though i dont think censorship and deplatforming is the solution, for lots of reasons. these are actually very old arguments, by no means new, based on concepts like net neutrality. a culture that tries to eradicate hate speech will also kneecap the internet.Jun 22 19:32

schestowitz>> men goes to work, women stays at home for washing and cooking. that still can be the case, but it shouldn’t be by “default”Jun 22 19:33

schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> in my younger years i went to fix someones printer while she was studying at university. foreign student. we fell in love, nearly had kids, she failed her classes (she was already failing when we met) and had to leave the country. i thought of going with her.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> a few years later she came back, finished her degree, now makes a lot more money than i do. i dont think she has kids. but the pay discrepancy they talk about-- the large one-- isnt "for the same work."Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz>> , maybe the women also like to do a carrer? depends on the individuals.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> imo someone ought to stay home with the kids. it doesnt have to be the mom. however, people have spent years painting dads as accessory/optional items to make it harder for them to gain custody in divorces. and society has no respect for stay-at-home dads. if you want to fix this, be my guest. id be happy to have that job.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz>> and does the men always needs to be the “leader” of a faimily (not your opinion, but i heard them often)Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> theres this idea (very marxist in my opinion) that assumes women dont want men to be the protector/leader of the family. or that if society stopped "training" people into those roles, they would just disappear.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> there are few or no couples that have an even power dynamic. there certainly are couples that have a woman-in-charge dynamic, and those are an option for both men and women who consent to such a relationship. its an option.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> but in the real world, youll find that most men (and most women) wont consent to that. so top-down-societal formulas aside, consent is key here. dont stay in a relationship that doesnt have the dynamic you and they want.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> but most couples PREFER a male-dominant relationship. that doesnt mean you should be in one if you dont want to be-- it means that most people prefer it.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> by "dominant" i dont mean nonsense like "alpha" or "abusive." i mean the power dynamic favours the male. and both people choose and consent to this.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> you cant force them to reject it. **i dont deny the factor of societal conditioning** but i think it is overplayed. ill explain that.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> dont think im going to lean too heavily on an argument from nature-- if people WANT a relationship with a "reversed" power dynamic, and both people consent to such a relationship, they can (and they do.) but i think without the conditioning, nature would still skew the relationship dynamic (as it does in most species and cultures) towards male-dominant.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> note that the woman i dated in college is from a culture that leans female-dominant. and we got along just fine (famously, like best friends and lovers. i loved her personality, along with everything else. she was brilliant and loads of fun.) such cultures are rare.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> the reason that society conditions people towards those roles is to prepare them. for an analogy, suppose a culture is based in an area with minimal vegetation and an abundance of fauna. that culture will "prepare" its hunters to hunt. it doesnt mean they wouldnt hunt if "society" didnt train them to, it means they would be less prepared for what they are likely to do anyway.Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:33
schestowitz> by "conditioning" people for male dominant roles, society helps people learn to do what they would probably end up doing anyway. im sure people who insist it is solely caused by conditioning-- that a balanced power dynamic doesnt happen only because society (patriarchy) forces that dynamic onto its cultures, would think thats outrageous.Jun 22 19:34
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:34
schestowitz> personally i think its correlation -> causation.Jun 22 19:34
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:34
schestowitz> however, when it comes to abuse, i agree with the conditioning argument. i do think we are in a very abusive society, but there is an important difference (sometimes) between dominance and abuse. in that one can be considered beneficial (not as the sole option) and the other would be difficult to find so much merit in, at best.Jun 22 19:34

schestowitz> many feminists (the ones that hate men) behave exactly like victims of narcissistic abuse as well. i think the cause (abuse) that creates angry feminists and frothing mgtows is the same cause.Jun 22 19:34
schestowitz> Jun 22 19:34

schestowitz> finally, the attitudes of vegans towards fishermen and western feminists that wish to "civilise" men in other countries all over the world, bears too great a similiarity to the attitudes of white colonialists towards "savage" non-western cultures to go unmentioned.Jun 22 19:34
