●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Friday, October 01, 2021 ●● ● Oct 01 [00:00] schestowitz-TR BTW, UKPP is defunct [00:00] schestowitz-TR nothing suggests there is pulse anymore [00:00] schestowitz-TR Maybe Loz Kaye was the last leader there [00:00] activelow what scares me is the shallowness and irelevance of hours of debates broadcasted in newspapers and tv [00:00] MinceR there was a hungarian party that also pretended "we're ALSO a pirate party" for a short while [00:00] schestowitz-TR he lives close to us, someone I chat with him on the street [00:01] MinceR and then they supported fideath against the interests of everybody else [00:01] MinceR and eventually kicked out anyone people would sympathize with and became marginal [00:01] activelow even when they begin to argue "to discuss topics", such as energy, labor, ecology... shallow quackery and lies follow [00:02] activelow if "CDU" had intended to battle their "opponents" (green) they had the opportunity to debunk the "renewable" energy scam [00:02] activelow they didn't! [00:03] schestowitz-TR bad solutions or non-solutions are not necessarily problems [00:03] schestowitz-TR "green cars" [00:03] schestowitz-TR EVs [00:03] schestowitz-TR mostly yuppie BS [00:03] schestowitz-TR but CSU/CDU had actual problems [00:03] activelow the german "energy revolution" is the most gigantic scam in german/european economic history [00:03] schestowitz-TR inc. things like EPO and UPC lobby [00:03] schestowitz-TR there are other issues, but not ones I focused on [00:04] schestowitz-TR activelow: by 2050... something. [00:04] activelow even if you supported "renewable energy", then at least correct data had to be published how much energy is provided by those extremely expensive installations [00:04] schestowitz-TR When I'm almost 70 [00:05] schestowitz-TR well, covid is taking off againt in deutschland [00:05] schestowitz-TR maybe a reminder of population density and population issues [00:05] activelow instead those "greens" argued wind and solar were alot cheaper than nuclear, only problem the installations do not provide electricity to sell, except for iregular supply spikes dumped into the grid [00:05] activelow what doesn't exist cannot be sold, at whatever imaginary price [00:05] schestowitz-TR but an influx of religious nuts who have as many kids as they can afford to feed will inflate tghe petri dish [00:06] schestowitz-TR activelow: 84 million people [00:06] schestowitz-TR cut energy and pollution in half [00:06] schestowitz-TR have one child at most [00:06] activelow yep, demographic data and migration policy as another such scam any opposition could have busted, but they didn't [00:06] *psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving) [00:06] *psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving) [00:06] activelow schestowitz-TR: i do consent insofar the argument immigration may be necessary, nonetheless demographic and labor market data must be verified at least [00:06] schestowitz-TR activelow: we should have "renewable" babies [00:07] schestowitz-TR and "sustainable" children [00:07] activelow and, if population increased(1) by 4 million and in parallel lack of workforce is reported then something is wrong [00:07] activelow however, one of the "democractic" parties questioned any of this [00:07] activelow none [00:09] activelow instead now they discuss for hours if 100% is divided by 6 parties present in the parliament what the average share is [00:10] activelow and if a fluctuation of +-2% is any relevant [00:11] MinceR aren't they interested in discussing who's willing to form a coalition with whom? [00:11] MinceR seems like that would be a more pressing issue for them [00:14] activelow the election results are crystal clear: 1) "grand coaltion" (which isn't great anymore since 2017 already and barely has any majority anymore) or 2) the real policy change with CDU+FDP+AfD (who posed as intellectual auhtority of the nation state to rule and govern yet barely manage to coordinate with each other) [00:15] activelow this is the election result, which doesn't change any of the urgen issues [00:15] schestowitz-TR as usual [00:15] activelow prize for gasoline increased by 30% in recent weeks, electricity prices are at record of 30ct/KWh, coal power plants operate at maximum (thanks to the "safe the planet" agenda) [00:15] *schestowitz-TR 's dad still a fan of merkel, even when told how she enabled EPO abuses [00:16] activelow and electric vehicle charging stations reported prizes of up to 80ct/KWh already [00:16] schestowitz-TR to save the planet [00:16] schestowitz-TR charge more, save the planet [00:16] MinceR schestowitz-TR: was he told about how merkel helped orban turn hungary into a dictatorship, which then served as the example for kaczynski to do the same with poland? [00:16] schestowitz-TR the batteries ad the power are made of thin air [00:17] activelow i had respected Merkel if she remained at a university to research and study physics, together with her husband who is a chemist scientist [00:17] activelow in politics this woman is a chatastropy [00:17] schestowitz-TR MinceR: maybe he think it's either some nazi or Russian-speaking merkel [00:17] activelow catastrophy [00:17] schestowitz-TR afd helps reinforce this BS narrative [00:17] schestowitz-TR like Biden "good" because "not Trump" [00:17] MinceR :> [00:18] schestowitz-TR or, criticise Biden and then be cautioned [00:18] schestowitz-TR "you are bringing TRUMP BACK" [00:18] activelow AfD from year 2013 is a different one than in year 2021 anyway, initially it was established by mostly economics professors from german universities [00:18] schestowitz-TR there was a good article by Hedges recently [00:18] activelow 8 years later AfD is presented as right-wing mob [00:19] schestowitz https://www.salon.com/2021/09/28/americas-fate-looks-bleak-will-it-be-oligarchy-or-autocracy/ [00:19] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-America's fate looks bleak: Will it be oligarchy or autocracy? | Salon.com [00:19] schestowitz activelow: it's not what it was [00:19] schestowitz it is what it is [00:20] schestowitz and we know who votes for them and why [00:20] schestowitz like with Trump [00:20] schestowitz but afd became straw man [00:20] schestowitz team UPC pretends that UPC opponents are right-wing radicals [00:20] schestowitz though the very opposite is typically true [00:20] schestowitz maybe afd opposes UPC because it's an EU projkect [00:21] activelow do they? didn't know. [00:21] schestowitz-TR it has not helped [00:21] schestowitz-TR it helps stigmatise oppoisition to UPC [00:25] activelow end of 2022 nuclear plants are scheduled for final shutdown in germany, almost forgot [00:26] activelow operators argued already they couldn't alter any decision made anymore, because long-term planning was required [00:27] activelow this alone will ignite further inflation of energy prices which are at record levels already [00:28] activelow on top of this, excess taxation shall be increased further by another "carbon tax" [00:29] activelow in parallel then electric vehicles shall replace combustion engines, meanwhile renewable installations do not produce at least a tiny fraction of what is announced in public [00:30] activelow coal power is scheduled for shutdown in 2030(2038, depends) ... blackout [00:30] schestowitz New study shows that #drought could shut down the biggest US Hydro Plants in the next few years https://boingboing.net/2021/09/27/new-study-shows-that-drought-could-shut-down-the-biggest-us-hydro-plants-in-the-next-few-years.html [00:30] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-boingboing.net | New study shows that drought could shut down the biggest US Hydro Plants in the next few years | Boing Boing [00:31] schestowitz https://stallman.org/archives/2021-jul-oct.html#30_September_2021_%28Drought_and_hydroelectric_power%29 [00:31] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-stallman.org | 2021: July - October Political Notes - Richard Stallman [00:31] schestowitz https://stallman.org/archives/2021-jul-oct.html#30_September_2021_%28Drought_and_hydroelectric_power%29 [00:31] schestowitz Drought could shut down hydroelectric power from Lake Powell and Lake Mead.

[01:26] schestowitz-TR what does it do? [01:26] schestowitz-TR razzle dazzle ? [01:26] DaemonFC There were some integration problems between WebkitGTK and Adwaita Dark. The web forms inside a page would look wrong and almost unreadable. [01:27] DaemonFC But that's all better now. [01:27] DaemonFC "libdazzle is a companion library to GObject and GTK+ that adds APIs for special graphical effects." [01:28] DaemonFC Basically, in this case, it forces Webkit to render forms and text entry boxes so you can actually see what you're typing if you use a dark theme. [01:29] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR, I filed a bug on that because most people set their theme to dark eventually, and Ubuntu defaults to that. [01:29] DaemonFC So if anyone had installed GNOME Web, then this bug would have made it impossible to fill out forms in web pages. [01:30] DaemonFC It seems that the GNOME developers have given up on their "We don't really support themes." position.

[01:33] DaemonFC Probably some of those things I just purged were brought in by some Qt apps that I wanted. And if you keep them isolated in Flatpaks, they can't fuck up your nice clean GNOME system. [01:34] activelow currently lo 6.4.7.2, introduced with gtk2 dropped; and a workaround is setting this SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen [01:34] activelow very strange, and tbh. i am tired of bugfixing things which weren't broken before [01:34] DaemonFC Yes, the Debian and Flatpak thing is sort of the best of both worlds, you know.

[01:46] schestowitz DaemonFC: not many people use that [01:46] DaemonFC So there's no natural market for WSL.

[02:55] kingoffrance quote from posts on the "licensed hardware features": It goes back much further than that. It's basically an extension of the old IBM mainframe days when you were effectively renting an IBM mainframe and only the IBM technician was allowed to open it up and flip the configuration switches. That's a bit more understandable. When you're buying a large mainframe/server, you think of it less as your property and more as a utility, like water. [02:55] kingoffrance And just like the city owns and repairs your pipes, the mainframe corporation own and maintain your mainframe for you. Really not much different from the concept the cloud, just a lot clunkier. This is audacious because your home computer is not a business utility, it literally is your property and you own it when you purchase it and expect to do whatever you want with it whether it's even a sane choice or not.

An "atlantic bridge" minion again who act in the interest of where this bridge leads to: washington [21:04] activelow that's why they, "greens", agitate against North Stream pipeline project, because it is in the interest of US/Washington oil lobbyists [21:05] activelow and that's why both "greens" and "liberals" agitate for "carbon certificates" because this funnels cash into USA and Tesla stocks who hold those certificates as an asset [21:06] activelow apropos, those liberals, i remember Klaus Kinkel was a prominent visitor at German Telekom University in Leipzig, had seen him once there, although German Telekom is headquartered in Bonn [21:10] activelow btw. the final election result reportings in germany were broadcasted from the former "Main Telegraphy Office" in Berlin, which is defunct since 1990s and now in the hands of real estate investors [21:11] activelow what an "irony", those journalists and politicians who stuffed their pockets with cash, announce their election victory from the defunct "Haupttelegraphenamt" [21:16] techrights-ipfs-bot IPFS downstream, 60 mins: avg(k/sec) 24.00 IPFS upstream: avg(k/sec) 45.96 swarm size (avg): 257.63 ● Oct 01 [22:06] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:06] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:26] *rianne_ (~rianne@ctqz25uirqr88.irc) has joined #techrights [22:26] *asusbox2 (~rianne@ctqz25uirqr88.irc) has joined #techrights [22:27] *immibis_ is now known as immibis [22:27] *rianne has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:27] *asusbox has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:39] schestowitz lol https://hackaday.com/2021/10/01/giant-working-nerf-gun-runs-on-tiny-arduino/ [22:39] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Giant Working NERF Gun Runs On Tiny Arduino | Hackaday ● Oct 01 [23:16] techrights-ipfs-bot IPFS downstream, 60 mins: avg(k/sec) 25.28 IPFS upstream: avg(k/sec) 4.61 swarm size (avg): 257.66 [23:43] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@247miyjrfg4yw.irc) has joined #techrights [23:48] activelow libreoffice and gtk3: menu bar disappears (which worked with gtk2 before) [23:48] schestowitz-TR same as noted yesterday? [23:48] activelow yes, now found something [23:48] activelow some reported JAVA_HOME was required with gtk3 menu bar, which wasn't before with gtk2; awesome, got no java [23:49] activelow then some render backend can be swapped SAL_USE_VCPLUGIN=gen -> menu-bar appears since gtk3 isn't use for this [23:50] activelow however, with 16bit framebuffer depth graphics are garbled, so i need the X11 modesetting driver active on top of dri which switches to 24/32bit color depth [23:50] activelow aaarrrgh [23:51] activelow because, gtk3 is ok otherwise, only libreoffice choses to break menu rendering with it (if java_home is not available, couldn't verify) [23:52] activelow next one: latest libreoffice 6.4.7.2 dropped gtk2 support, any libreoffice 5.x version disappeared from gentoo tree already (6.x too which i keep inside overlay currently) [23:53] activelow java is blackisted, and will remain so [23:53] psydruid do you even need libreoffice anymore? [23:53] psydruid I thought ODF 1.2 and 1.3 would be supported by several applications by now [23:53] activelow no, i do not need it (although i admit it is comfortable), however i cannot guarantee i received some LO documents from someone else [23:54] psydruid I mean in general [23:54] activelow Libreoffice is one reason (besides gimp) i may consider keeping x11 [23:54] activelow abiword is buggy too [23:54] psydruid abiword has also become bloated and slow [23:54] psydruid and that's called progress [23:55] activelow gtk2 with libreoffice was ok, never had a problem with it [23:55] psydruid I don't know how they keep ruining applications that used to be snappy and fast [23:56] activelow runtime performance of libreoffice is acceptable, compilation time isn't, takes more than 2h on my distcc cluster [23:56] psydruid i use libreoffice occasionally [23:56] psydruid well [23:57] psydruid when I was helping to fix and test openoffice for MIPS a compile would take 24 hours [23:57] activelow distcc does help alot here [23:57] psydruid so I would apply a patch and recompile and come back a day later [23:57] psydruid of course I did most of the testing on amd64, so I wouldn't lose too much time [23:58] activelow didn't estimate compilation time yet on a single node arm64 SBC, probably 8hours [23:58] activelow because, ideally i wouldn't need distcc, which was another motivator to consider dropping c++
