Ariadnei have to agree with CrystalMath here, i have problems understanding why 4chan would careAug 07 00:00
schestowitzsounds like straw manAug 07 00:00

XRevan86Ariadne: Vengeance over "sneedacity"?Aug 07 00:01
schestowitzin a world of "enemy of my enemy is my friend" just mention 4chan and win any argumentAug 07 00:01
CrystalMathXRevan86: what did he do to sneedacity?Aug 07 00:01
CrystalMathhe did nothingAug 07 00:01
schestowitzCrystalMath: :-)Aug 07 00:01
XRevan86CrystalMath: Rather what he didn't do.Aug 07 00:01
AriadneXRevan86: why would 4chan care about sneedacityAug 07 00:01
CrystalMathso did most people on earthAug 07 00:01
schestowitzCrystalMath: error: "bad actor" detected by compilerAug 07 00:02
XRevan86Ariadne: There was a poll on what name to choose for the project, and "sneedacity" won.Aug 07 00:02
XRevan86Then cookiengineer chose Tenacity anyway.Aug 07 00:02
CrystalMathXRevan86: he did his own competing forkAug 07 00:02
AriadneshrugAug 07 00:02
XRevan86CrystalMath: No, that's not correct.Aug 07 00:02
CrystalMaththese are different forksAug 07 00:02
schestowitziirc, Tenacity was "already taken"Aug 07 00:03
schestowitzby some "chan"Aug 07 00:03
XRevan86CrystalMath: Sneedacity was forked later as a protest to cookiengineer's choice of name for the fork that he founded.Aug 07 00:03
schestowitzor so goes the story in MSMAug 07 00:03
schestowitzby MSM i mean BS sites like The RegisterAug 07 00:03
Ariadneall of this seems like a reallyAug 07 00:03
Ariadnewho gives a shitAug 07 00:03
AriadnetopicAug 07 00:03
schestowitzvery on-topicAug 07 00:04
CrystalMathAriadne: exactly i mean it's quite difficult for me to believe this is so importantAug 07 00:04
schestowitzI still don't know what will happen with that projectAug 07 00:04
XRevan86Ariadne: It was important enough to make a different fork called SneedacityAug 07 00:04
schestowitzseems like the latest "safe" release was x.34Aug 07 00:04
CrystalMaththat someone would go to any lengths, like if i lived *across* from this guy i would not bother to get up from my chair to ask him about itAug 07 00:04
schestowitz.3 or 0.4Aug 07 00:04
CrystalMathXRevan86: creating a fork is one buttonAug 07 00:05
XRevan86It only exists because for the channers that is the name that Tenacity was supposed to have.Aug 07 00:05
MinceRSerious Businessโ„ขAug 07 00:05
schestowitzCrystalMath: with GUIAug 07 00:05
*XRevan86 looks at the repo: wow, even they chose Libera.Aug 07 00:05
schestowitzlikely one that entraps you in the same proprietary prison you need to take it away fromAug 07 00:06
CrystalMathXRevan86: yes, and CatButts went there to implement 32-bit XP supportAug 07 00:06
schestowitzneed a new button, "fork and delete thus shithub"Aug 07 00:06
schestowitz*thisAug 07 00:06
CrystalMathbecause that's what he runsAug 07 00:06
XRevan86CrystalMath: Libera should ban the chanops that kicked him, is that your point?Aug 07 00:06
CrystalMathXRevan86: noAug 07 00:06
CrystalMathXRevan86: it's just that this behavior is horrible for software freedomAug 07 00:07
XRevan86CrystalMath: If he were to be kicked somewhere on EFnet, would that be a bad network too?Aug 07 00:07
CrystalMaththe chanops there are terribleAug 07 00:07
CrystalMathnoAug 07 00:07
CrystalMaththis is just evidence that there *is* a problem in free softwareAug 07 00:07
CrystalMaththe problem is not IRCAug 07 00:07
XRevan86CrystalMath: The problem is not Libera?Aug 07 00:07
schestowitzsociety in generalAug 07 00:07
CrystalMathtechnically no but i connect libera ircops to the problemAug 07 00:07
schestowitzbut different people handle it differentlyAug 07 00:08
CrystalMathif libera were to change its entire management, then it would maybe not be a problemAug 07 00:08
schestowitzsome try to reconcile to the extent possibleAug 07 00:08
XRevan86CrystalMath: Thank you, I was scratching my head defending Libera against bogus accusations all this time, and it was never actually about Libera this whole time.Aug 07 00:08
CrystalMathXRevan86: well i mean i refuse to connect to libera because of who is the staff tehreAug 07 00:09
CrystalMath*thereAug 07 00:09
CrystalMaththe problem is Fuchs, amdj, jose, nhandler, RichiH, and many moreAug 07 00:09
schestowitzthere is a deeper issue hereAug 07 00:09
schestowitzto quote you,Aug 07 00:09
schestowitz"Fuchs, amdj, jose, nhandler, RichiH" DO NOT represent the projects whose chats they overseeAug 07 00:10
CrystalMathif all of those were gone, and the new staff was pro-freedom of speech, and for "code is what matters, send all non-code-related complaints to /dev/null"Aug 07 00:10
XRevan86CrystalMath: If only they were replaced with such decent people as rasengan, bagira, eskimo and l0deโ€ฆAug 07 00:10
schestowitzat the highest level of authorityAug 07 00:10
CrystalMathXRevan86: eskimo really is goodAug 07 00:10
schestowitzthis creates something skin to conflict of interestAug 07 00:10
schestowitzthey are given control over channels they MIGHT seek to undermineAug 07 00:10
XRevan86CrystalMath: I obviously didn't mean the ice cream, that's of course good stuff.Aug 07 00:10
schestowitzthis should never be allowedAug 07 00:10
schestowitzI point out to some shithub-hosted projects the sameAug 07 00:10
schestowitzMicrosoft attacks youAug 07 00:10
MinceR(1) revenge is sweetAug 07 00:10
MinceR(2) revenge is best served coldAug 07 00:11
schestowitzand you giver them control over your code!!Aug 07 00:11
MinceRconclusion: revenge is ice creamAug 07 00:11
CrystalMathXRevan86: eskimo the person was a good guy there at freenodeAug 07 00:11

CrystalMathi mean.... that isn't really importantAug 07 00:13
CrystalMathon freenode he truly did his bestAug 07 00:13
Ariadneto be honest, you are right, he was ultimately harmless thereAug 07 00:14
Ariadnebut, still, one should vet their staffAug 07 00:15
Ariadnesince andrew didn't, i decided to do it for himAug 07 00:15
MinceRif only old freenode and oftc vetted theirsAug 07 00:15
Ariadnefreenode was on kitchen nightmares, and i was mad like gordon ramsayAug 07 00:15
CrystalMathAriadne: well you never said anything against the one who was behind most of the decisions that got people outAug 07 00:16
schestowitz-TRMinceR: vetted for loyaltyAug 07 00:16
AriadneCrystalMath: you mean rasengan?Aug 07 00:16
MinceRmaybe then they wouldn't help people like amdj, jose, nhandler and RichiH attack free softwareAug 07 00:16
CrystalMathAriadne: nopeAug 07 00:16
Ariadneoh, i'd love to hear your theory on thisAug 07 00:16
Ariadneit sounds fascinatingAug 07 00:16

Ariadnehow is amdj attacking software freedom ?Aug 07 00:18
schestowitz-TR(I don't mean that lightly btw)Aug 07 00:18
schestowitz-TRbased on years of evidence piling upAug 07 00:18
CrystalMathAriadne: amdj signed the petition against RMSAug 07 00:19
Ariadneand?Aug 07 00:19
schestowitz-TRwe need more efvidenceAug 07 00:19
Ariadnei thought you believed in free speechAug 07 00:19
schestowitz-TRthat sigs were partly added based on tricking peopleAug 07 00:19
schestowitz-TRand by mass-mailing orgsAug 07 00:20
schestowitz-TRI know storiesAug 07 00:20
Ariadneno, it's more fundamental than thatAug 07 00:20
AriadneCrystalMath: do you believe in free speech or notAug 07 00:20
schestowitz-TRibm money and google/microsoft/others revealed their true goalsAug 07 00:20
schestowitz-TRand their methodsAug 07 00:20
CrystalMathAriadne: well he has a right to despise software freedomAug 07 00:20
MinceRcanceling people to make way for a corporate takeover is now "free speech"?Aug 07 00:20
Ariadneit is possible to dislike RMS and believe in software freedomAug 07 00:21
CrystalMathbut why pretend to run an IRC network for that?Aug 07 00:21
schestowitz-TRMinceR: it isAug 07 00:21
schestowitz-TRbut not speech I am compelled to likeAug 07 00:21
Ariadneeven RMS will tell you thatAug 07 00:21
MinceRit is possible to dislike RMS and yet not accuse him of saying things he did not sayAug 07 00:21
Ariadnego on, write him, rms@gnu.orgAug 07 00:21
MinceRit is possible to dislike RMS and yet not cancel himAug 07 00:21
CrystalMathAriadne: i believe it's ultimately detrimental to software freedom when you care about stupid stuff rather than actually giving individual users powerAug 07 00:21
schestowitz-TRit was not about dislking him, eitherAug 07 00:22
schestowitz-TRin 2019 they covered up for criminal gatesAug 07 00:22
Ariadnei know amdj to be somebody who strongly believes in giving individual users powerAug 07 00:22
schestowitz-TRby making false allusions to RMSAug 07 00:22
Ariadneit is why i put atheme in his handsAug 07 00:22
MinceRalso, am i free to hate people for revealing themselves as being IBM's anti-free software patsies via using free speech?Aug 07 00:22
schestowitz-TRin 2021 they realised people knew it was a lieAug 07 00:22
schestowitz-TRso they changed goalpostsAug 07 00:22
MinceRindividual users, as long as they're loyal to IBM?Aug 07 00:22
schestowitz-TRto some other and newer liesAug 07 00:22
AriadneMinceR: sureAug 07 00:22
CrystalMathAriadne: and then he signed a petition asking the FSF to get rid of the guy who is the ideologist of free software just because he allegedly doesn't care about minorities in tech?Aug 07 00:22
schestowitz-TRallegedlyAug 07 00:23
Ariadnei mean, maybe you should ask him why he signed itAug 07 00:23
schestowitz-TRrememember that rms is alsoa minorityAug 07 00:23
schestowitz-TRoldAug 07 00:23
MinceRmaybe we should read what he signedAug 07 00:23
schestowitz-TRappaently with disabnilityAug 07 00:23
MinceRit is generally a good idea to read what you sign, before you sign itAug 07 00:23
schestowitz-TR*disabilityAug 07 00:23
MinceRand it is a statement after allAug 07 00:23
schestowitz-TRI will never sympathise with people who bash him over alleged "autosm"Aug 07 00:23
CrystalMathschestowitz-TR: well RMS said it's a plus to have different people in software projects, that's a point against this allegation, but he also said that it's wrong to put this into the priority projects listAug 07 00:24
schestowitz-TRthe moment you mock a disabled person I will never forgive youAug 07 00:24

schestowitz-TRyeahAug 07 15:11
schestowitz-TRsoon under 10kAug 07 15:12
schestowitz-TRmaybe already below thatAug 07 15:12
leahaccording to today's stats, freenode is 10600 users, and libera is still at average 45-48k users averageAug 07 15:12
leahi checked just now, while boredAug 07 15:12

leahand that freenode article begins with: Aug 07 15:16
leah"In the story of the Garden of Eden, it is said that the forbidden fruit was encouraged to be eaten by the Devil. The story goes that eating the fruit was the direct action that resulted in man to be expelled from the garden."Aug 07 15:16
leah...Aug 07 15:16
schestowitz-TRnice skwetchAug 07 15:16
leahand i didn't know about that freenode article until just nowAug 07 15:16
schestowitz-TRI am a sketcher tooAug 07 15:16
leahyeah but, it's a huge coincidence don't you think?Aug 07 15:16
leahlook at the sketch more closely :PAug 07 15:16
leahi'll continue reading the freenode article nowAug 07 15:17

leahi finished reading the fn articleAug 07 15:21
leahi fail to see how the topics it discusses have anything to do with the operation of the freenode networkAug 07 15:21
leahis freenode.net a personal blog now?Aug 07 15:21
CrystalMathleah: yeah there's weirdness in there but if your takeaway is that apple is bad, then it's not a bad articleAug 07 15:21
leahthat's how it readsAug 07 15:21
schestowitz-TR[15:21] <leah> is freenode.net a personal blog now? <<< that's what I said last nightAug 07 15:22
CrystalMathfreenode is marketing itself as a free speech resistance networkAug 07 15:22
CrystalMathi don't see it as a personal blog thingAug 07 15:22
leahbut it isn't even a well written articleAug 07 15:22
MinceRit's easy to get a different takeaway from thatAug 07 15:22
CrystalMathMinceR: such as? (i want to hear you say it because it will probably be funny :P)Aug 07 15:22
gustafCrystalMath: "all the crazy borderline anti-vaxx people say Apple is bad" is not the ringing endorsement you imagine it isAug 07 15:22
leahthough i find it fun that the article talks about adam and eve, and i, today, uploaded a sketch i did of the devil :PAug 07 15:22
MinceRfor example: (a) vaccines are good and apple is goodAug 07 15:23
leah> "2 life forms detected"Aug 07 15:23
MinceR(b) apple is bad and vaccines are badAug 07 15:23
CrystalMathhmm i don't think he connected it like thatAug 07 15:23
leahfun coincidenceAug 07 15:23
MinceR(c) andrew lee is a nutcaseAug 07 15:23
leahthe last article was also seemingly unrelated to freenodeAug 07 15:23
MinceRCrystalMath: they're presented together in the same articleAug 07 15:23
leahi get lee's narrative. freedom of speechAug 07 15:23
CrystalMathyeah but vaccines are given a passing mentionAug 07 15:23
leahwhat i don't understand is the purpose of this articleAug 07 15:23
CrystalMathand the only inaccuracy is just two wordsAug 07 15:23
leahand the vaccine stuff is bollocksAug 07 15:23
CrystalMath"mutates cells", you could argue against this partAug 07 15:24
MinceRalso, i wonder how it takes someone this long to realize that all the ads about crApple's support for privacy are liesAug 07 15:24

leahthis is in response to the photo of the man with the fork in your article. here, you can't easily stick metal in the live/hot hole on the wall. there's a plastic shutter. it only opens when you insert a plug. when a prong goes through the ground/earth hole, the shutters release and the live+neutral prongs can go inAug 07 15:26

leahjust curious :) no judgementAug 07 15:27

CrystalMathif you want to purposely scare someone who doesn't understand this stuff :PAug 07 15:29
MinceRCrystalMath: but in this case they deliver CRISPR they added to the virus, and none of the vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are supposed to contain thatAug 07 15:29
leahalso, you can safely insert a fork into an electric socket, if there is no path to earth/ground through your body, or if you don't poke the hot/live holeAug 07 15:29
CrystalMathMinceR: correctAug 07 15:30

leahgnu assembly people are hypocritesAug 07 15:48
leahthey use gnu.org infrastructure, and rely on gnu/fsf marketing, and rely on their positions in those projects, basically holding it hostageAug 07 15:48
leahthey want to break away, while piggy backing off of itAug 07 15:48
CrystalMathi see FLOSS as a thorough rejection, and struggle against, the idea of programmers as the new priests of societyAug 07 15:48
kingoffranceagree with schestowitz ; meta is needed to cut through bs some times :)Aug 07 15:48
kingoffranceyou need some meta to fight other meta :)Aug 07 15:49
CrystalMathpeople who are anti-RMS do not seem to understand this, they accept programmers as the new priests of society and talk about "responsibility"Aug 07 15:49

leahfootball channel amirite?Aug 07 17:16
XRevan86Overall, it doesn't give all too much insight, I guess I know a bit more about what Christel is like.Aug 07 17:16
leahseems a bit randomAug 07 17:16
leahenjoy your football :PAug 07 17:16

XRevan862018Aug 07 17:17
schestowitz-TRshe seems to have vanished this yearAug 07 17:17
leahplus that stream is triggering as fuck. interlaced videoAug 07 17:17
leahthat's interlaced videoAug 07 17:17
leahbeing deinterlaced, poorlyAug 07 17:17
Ariadnethis channel is available on directvAug 07 17:17
Ariadnein higher qualityAug 07 17:17
leahthis is 2021Aug 07 17:17
leahyou should not be filming in interlaced video formatsAug 07 17:17
XRevan86Another interesting bit is that her Twitter account was from all the way back, 2007, and in May 2021 she just removed itโ€ฆAug 07 17:17

Ariadne> mcdonald'sAug 07 17:18
AriadneXRevan86: oh, she did that because she didn't want to get cancelledAug 07 17:18
Ariadnebetter to just preemptively retreat imoAug 07 17:18
leahbetter to face the musicAug 07 17:19
leahcancel culture only works because a bunch of weak willed people want to feel like they're doing right for the world, so they band together. what they have is strength in numbersAug 07 17:19
blitzed!COFFEEAug 07 17:19
XRevan86Ariadne: But it was already well-known in 2020 that freenode was sold to a corporation, what suddenly changed? Why is the Shellsโ„ข logo thing so big?Aug 07 17:19
Ariadneits notAug 07 17:20
Ariadnerasengan wanted to control freenodeAug 07 17:20
Ariadnehe got what he wantedAug 07 17:20
XRevan86Ariadne: I only know about his actions to take control after tomaw becoming head of staff.Aug 07 17:20
Ariadnehe proabblyAug 07 17:20
leahif you try to hide from cancellation, you'll get cancelled even harder in the end, when you poke your head outAug 07 17:20
Ariadnetold christel to quitAug 07 17:20
Ariadnewho caresAug 07 17:20
leahsomeone who does wrong should face the consequences of their action, though mob justice is always badAug 07 17:21
XRevan86Ariadne: "who cares" โ€“ it matters a lot; the narrative that floats around is that the staff bullied Christel to quit.Aug 07 17:21
*DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@m7x9626p2dx5i.irc) has joined #techrightsAug 07 17:21
leahyou have to face it down. look it right in the eye, and let it know it can't control youAug 07 17:21
Ariadnewhy does it matterAug 07 17:21
Ariadnewhat has happened, has happenedAug 07 17:21
Ariadneits a done dealAug 07 17:21
Ariadnebut why would the staff "bully" christel to quitAug 07 17:22
Ariadnemaybe at most they started calling her on her shitAug 07 17:22
XRevan86Ariadne: post-mortemAug 07 17:22
schestowitz-TR[17:20] <Ariadne> rasengan wanted to control [something that might soon stop existing]Aug 07 17:22
leahAriadne: btw, i don't know much about christel. i know only that she owned freenode for almost 20 yearsAug 07 17:22
leahor was otherwise heavily involvedAug 07 17:22
leahcan you tell me what "her shit" was, in your opinion?Aug 07 17:22
XRevan86Ariadne: I know they were asking questions about the Shellsโ„ข logo, andโ€ฆ I hardly see that as bullying, nor do I see that as a good motivation to run away.Aug 07 17:23
Ariadnewell, for example, she set my cloak in 2016 to freenude/alcoholic-bunny/kaniiniAug 07 17:23
Ariadnethings like that.Aug 07 17:23
leahi'm asking because i know you were inolved in freenode in the early daysAug 07 17:23
leahohAug 07 17:23
leahwas that out of malice?Aug 07 17:23
leah(guessing yes)Aug 07 17:23
Ariadnewho the fuck knowsAug 07 17:23
Ariadneshe probably thought it was funnyAug 07 17:23
Ariadnebut she didnt ask for permissionAug 07 17:24
leahokAug 07 17:24
Ariadnebecause my answer would have been 'fuck no'Aug 07 17:24
leahabuse of power, thenAug 07 17:24
Ariadneshe used to do stuff like that all the tieAug 07 17:24
Ariadneand then staffAug 07 17:24
Ariadnewould cover for her and be all apologetic about itAug 07 17:24
XRevan86To me the stories point to that the staff couldn't do anything about Christel, and now suddenly she catapults away. That just doesn't compute from that perspective.Aug 07 17:25
AriadneXRevan86: nah rasengan definitely fired herAug 07 17:25
Ariadneand then made up the bullying storyAug 07 17:25
Ariadneas a coverAug 07 17:25
XRevan86CrystalMath: ^Aug 07 17:25
XRevan86Ariadne: Is he this disgusting as a person?Aug 07 17:25
schestowitz-TRAriadne: do we have evidence of it?Aug 07 17:26
Ariadneno, i don't, but i know how rasengan operatesAug 07 17:26
Ariadnei knew him prior to all of this stuff happening :)Aug 07 17:26
leahwell you can't go off of conjectureAug 07 17:26
Ariadnei can go off my gutAug 07 17:26
leahbesides, lee has already proven himself to be an uncomprisingly stupid twatAug 07 17:26
Ariadneand i can say based on my knowledge that he definitely fired christelAug 07 17:27
XRevan86Ariadne: But why wouldn't Christel then come out with that? It doesn't look like she has anything to lose.Aug 07 17:27
schestowitz-TRwe cannot report based on guesses :-)Aug 07 17:27
AriadneXRevan86: NDAAug 07 17:27
leahno need to go further than that. i think his goose is already well and truly cookedAug 07 17:27
schestowitz-TRso I just checked if there was evidenceAug 07 17:27
XRevan86Ariadne: Do NDAs exist that tell people not to disclose being fired?Aug 07 17:27
Ariadnetbh, what probably happened wasAug 07 17:27
Ariadnethey probably got in a fight over freenodeAug 07 17:27
Ariadneand then it was a mutual FOADAug 07 17:27
Ariadneand then christel fucked offAug 07 17:28
Ariadnebecause thats what she doesAug 07 17:28
Ariadneshe will storm off and then come back months laterAug 07 17:28
leahso it is your opinion that this person, christel, will make a re-appearance in public, and commit some kind of actAug 07 17:28
Ariadneat some point, yesAug 07 17:29
Ariadneshe will probably try to wiggle her way into liberaAug 07 17:29
leahhonestly though?Aug 07 17:29
leahschestowitz-TR is rightAug 07 17:29
leahwe all need to self-hostAug 07 17:29
Ariadnei think the libera team will not go for it thoAug 07 17:29
leahthat's what i want to do, whenever i have the time and motivation to sit down and really make sure i get it right, and set up a serverAug 07 17:29
Ariadnethere needs to be many irc networks that are smallAug 07 17:30
Ariadnenot giant mega networksAug 07 17:30
leahhonestly, libera is a huge unknown at this pointAug 07 17:30
Ariadnesolve the discoverability issue another wayAug 07 17:30
leahso far, libera seems fine. it hasn't done anything really bad, and they seem to be running it competentlyAug 07 17:30
Ariadnei think libera is ok for now.  but if christel gets involved in it down the road, that would be not goodAug 07 17:30
*XRevan86 is still not a believer in small IRC. With XMPP it's so easy, with IRC, that doesn't really scale for an end-user.Aug 07 17:31
leahchristel doesn't have a monopoly on bad (or good) behaviour thoughAug 07 17:31
leahit's inevitable at some point that someone will be found guilty of foul playAug 07 17:31
leahi really don't like the way libera started thoughAug 07 17:31
Ariadnei dont think they had much of a choiceAug 07 17:32
Ariadnesomebody had to do something to ensure all of this didn't go crashing into a concrete wallAug 07 17:32
leahtechnically libera was the one that did wrong at first. their initial act was a smear campaign against lee, who hadn't done anything wrong at that point, besides wanting to have more power over something he ownedAug 07 17:32
leahlee's response to that smear and coup was to act like a complete idiot and do more damage himself, and ultimately prove the point of the libera peopleAug 07 17:33
Ariadnepolitics is ugly, what can i sayAug 07 17:33
XRevan86leah: I think if rasengan's lies were cleared up, that will improve Libera's foundation as well. That's one way this is not a "its a done deal".Aug 07 17:33
leahhe could have acted maturely, and done right by the worldAug 07 17:33
CrystalMathAriadne: that doesn't add upAug 07 17:33
Ariadneit really doesAug 07 17:33
leahyou know what though Ariadne?Aug 07 17:33
leahif my project, Libreboot, loses IRC even for likeAug 07 17:33
leaha weekAug 07 17:33
leahi wouldn't careAug 07 17:33
CrystalMathjess told me that in march 2021, they managed to get rid of "the cabal"Aug 07 17:33
leahi'd just set something else upAug 07 17:34
CrystalMathi asked if christel was a part of the cabal, she said yesAug 07 17:34
leahso if libera goes tits up at some point, whateverAug 07 17:34
AriadneCrystalMath: yes, and she miscalculatedAug 07 17:34
leah*i* control libreboot.orgAug 07 17:34
leahi'll just charge the irc links thereAug 07 17:34
CrystalMathAriadne: but this was bad!Aug 07 17:34
Ariadnebecause rasengan was also a problemAug 07 17:34
CrystalMaththe cabal was the one against the closures of channelsAug 07 17:34
leahaswell any other project that uses irc, if they need to change their irc link on their contact pageAug 07 17:34
AriadneCrystalMath: getting rid of christel was goodAug 07 17:34
CrystalMathAriadne: no it wasn't, christel wanted to stop the anti-free-speech and channel closuresAug 07 17:34
Ariadnethey miscalculated and thought rasengan would stay out of itAug 07 17:34
AriadnelmfaoAug 07 17:35
Ariadneif you believe thatAug 07 17:35
CrystalMaththeir evil plan was thwartedAug 07 17:35
Ariadneyou have been so connecAug 07 17:35
XRevan86leah: I don't recall any examples of the Libera people making a smear campaign against rasengan. joepie91 is not a staffer.Aug 07 17:35
AriadnechristelAug 07 17:35

leahtomato tomato XRevan86 though i no longer care. libera wonAug 07 17:35
CrystalMathleah: that doesn't really work in writing :PAug 07 17:35
Ariadneif you think christel is about free speechAug 07 17:35
Ariadneyou are fucking dumb as rocksAug 07 17:35
CrystalMathbut somehow i still read it correctly :PAug 07 17:35
CrystalMath"tomato tomato"Aug 07 17:36
sears_hardware16:29:28 < leah> *i* control libreboot.orgAug 07 17:36
leahCrystalMath: you say tomato tomato, and i say tomato tomatoAug 07 17:36
sears_hardwarethat solves the problemAug 07 17:36
leahwhat?Aug 07 17:36
CrystalMathAriadne: well that's disappointing to hear, but she didn't want ##truth closed downAug 07 17:36
leahwhat problem, sears_hardware ?Aug 07 17:36
Ariadneyeah because it was convenient to her at that timeAug 07 17:36
sears_hardwarethe problem of freenode.net being able to take over a channelAug 07 17:36
CrystalMathleah: the problem of others controlling youAug 07 17:36
Ariadneto take that positionAug 07 17:36
sears_hardwarefreenode.net cannot take over a channel whose root domain is libreboot.orgAug 07 17:36
sears_hardwareor techrights.orgAug 07 17:36
sears_hardwarewhich brings us to the problem of DNS but whateverAug 07 17:37
leahoh, yeah i rule libreboot.org. until i think 2029 when it expiresAug 07 17:37
CrystalMathAriadne: how so?Aug 07 17:37
leahthen i'll renew it :PAug 07 17:37
leah2028Aug 07 17:37
AriadneCrystalMath: inaction is usually the safe optionAug 07 17:37
leahnot 9Aug 07 17:37
leahbeing on a big irc network is handy thoughAug 07 17:37
CrystalMathAriadne: but she was rightAug 07 17:38
CrystalMaththese channels should not be closed downAug 07 17:38
Ariadnewas sheAug 07 17:38
leahyou can easily just go to any channel without configuring your irc client for a million projectsAug 07 17:38
Ariadneshe was right *in your opinion*Aug 07 17:38
CrystalMaththere are people who are not-left-wing and into software freedomAug 07 17:38
CrystalMathwe need to keep themAug 07 17:38
CrystalMathAriadne: yesAug 07 17:38
CrystalMathyou say that it wasn't ideological for her and yet she made the right call every timeAug 07 17:38
sears_hardwarethey are doing a good job keeping themselves CrystalMath Aug 07 17:38
Ariadneyou need to start learning that phrase, "in your opinion."  it makes your arguments more persuasiveAug 07 17:38

CrystalMathif a stopped clock is right every time i look at it, maybe it's not really a stopped clockAug 07 17:39
sears_hardwareLOLAug 07 17:39
sears_hardwareCrystalMath's opinion - the stopped clockAug 07 17:39
Ariadneanyway i don't have any opinion on ##truth eitherAug 07 17:39
CrystalMathAriadne: i left that channel but i don't think it should be destroyedAug 07 17:39
leahconfirmed, what CrystalMath saidAug 07 17:39
leahi've met several coreboot and linux kernel developers who are extremely conservativeAug 07 17:39
CrystalMathi've recently rejoined its rizon version, but i'm gonna leave it againAug 07 17:39
sears_hardwareCrystalMath: we could say that by choosing to remain on a non-libre platform they deserve to be destroyed :)Aug 07 17:40
CrystalMathsears_hardware: what non-libre platform?Aug 07 17:40
sears_hardwareleenodeAug 07 17:40
sears_hardwareliberaAug 07 17:40
sears_hardwarewhateverAug 07 17:40
AriadneCrystalMath: christel is willing to be tolerant of things, but she has no problem threatening other people's speech when it suits herAug 07 17:40
Ariadneso, she is really no ally of free speechAug 07 17:40
leahdo what i doAug 07 17:41
leahdon't moderateAug 07 17:41
leahlet people bite each other's heads offAug 07 17:41
leahbut that's up to youAug 07 17:41
sears_hardwareAriadne: indeed true allies of free speech are so hard to findAug 07 17:41
Ariadnechristel is the reason why charybdis became solanum, btwAug 07 17:41
Ariadneshe created a situation where charybdis maintenance became basically impossibleAug 07 17:41
leahand also oppose there being anyone to stop such chaosAug 07 17:41
Ariadnebecause people were afraid to participate lest they be k-lined from freenodeAug 07 17:41
sears_hardwareordo ab chaoAug 07 17:41
CrystalMathAriadne: huh?Aug 07 17:42
CrystalMathshe k-lined people who worked on charybdis?Aug 07 17:42
Ariadneshe threatened toAug 07 17:42
CrystalMathah i seeAug 07 17:42
Ariadnewe "gave in" and removed commit access from the person she dislikedAug 07 17:42
Ariadnebut then terminated the projectAug 07 17:42
sears_hardwarethe threat is more powerful than the executionAug 07 17:42
Ariadnethe execution would have been unfortunate, but in hindsight, alpine would have just moved to OFTCAug 07 17:43
sears_hardwarewould were that moving were always so easyAug 07 17:43
Ariadnealpine on freenode was around 1500 usersAug 07 17:43
sears_hardwarealthough it is much easier if your users already are pointed directly to irc.libreboot.org anywayAug 07 17:43
Ariadneacross all the channelsAug 07 17:43
Ariadneso it was not easy, but it was ultimately doableAug 07 17:44
Ariadnewe were planning to start an IRC for alpine itselfAug 07 17:44
Ariadnebut, those plans got cut short with the increasing instability of freenodeAug 07 17:44
sears_hardware:)Aug 07 17:44
leahAriadne: now you've had the experience of having to move your channels to another networkAug 07 17:47
leahso now you have an exact idea, in the real world, of how doable such an action isAug 07 17:47
Ariadnewhen you have a large community, you have to be more proactiveAug 07 17:47
sears_hardwarewell if your irc channel is at irc.techrights.org you can move as many times as you wantAug 07 17:48
sears_hardwareand users don't careAug 07 17:48
leah^ truthAug 07 17:48
Ariadnesears_hardware: SSL breaks that :(Aug 07 17:48
CrystalMathirc.techrights.org is its own independent server :)Aug 07 17:48
CrystalMathAriadne: good, because it's crappy to just redirect the domainAug 07 17:48
leahindependence is greatAug 07 17:48
CrystalMathit can lead to password leaksAug 07 17:48
sears_hardwarei don't see why SSL certificates don't work like SSH fingerprintsAug 07 17:48
CrystalMathand people joining a network they don't likeAug 07 17:48
CrystalMathby mistake :PAug 07 17:49
CrystalMathhowever, i have firewalled away all of libera's servers, so that cannot happenAug 07 17:49
Ariadneif we had waited until freenode were taken over by rasengan, it would have been a shitshowAug 07 17:49
Ariadnesee also: what happened to redhat, ubuntu, suseAug 07 17:49
sears_hardwarequite the pattern isn't itAug 07 17:49
Ariadneso, i am glad that we moved proactivelyAug 07 17:49
Ariadneit saved us a lot of troubleAug 07 17:49
leahAriadne: the way i handled it was very unique, but wouldn't work for a project any bigger than librebootAug 07 17:50
leahi successfully drained #libreboot on freenode, and i *still* am the op there. but it is officially only on libera nowAug 07 17:50
leahturned out all i had to do was wait a few extra weeks after the heat died down, when freenode already knew it had lostAug 07 17:50
Ariadneanyway, libera is problematic too, because the people who run it have the same powerAug 07 17:50
CrystalMathi didn't have to drain anything, freenode turned SASL-only and my channels were wreckedAug 07 17:51
Ariadnethe power to destroy somebody's careerAug 07 17:51
CrystalMathpeople who cared joined on EFNetAug 07 17:51
CrystalMathor rizonAug 07 17:51
CrystalMathbefore freenode turned SASL-only things were looking goodAug 07 17:51
Ariadnehowever... in the absence of a more friendly UXAug 07 17:51

leahimo intel haswell is the last usable intel platform. that one isn't actually free yet, raminit and a bunch of stuff is a blob, but coreboot is reverse engineering that and making progress. after haswell, i think intel is doomed in terms of coreboot and having something that is meaningfully freeAug 07 18:11

DaemonFCAriadne, I just don't want a car that runs non-Free software in a meaningful sense of the word.Aug 07 21:09
Ariadnebetter get rid of your 2003 Impala thenAug 07 21:09
DaemonFCschestowitz-TR, The Impala sort of does, but it more closely resembles RMS saying that's fine if it functions more like a circuit than software.Aug 07 21:09
DaemonFCAbout the only thing it can do is manage how the engine runs and report trouble codes using a standardized format.Aug 07 21:10
DaemonFCNobody knows what the Tesla does and it gets OTA "upgrades" like Windows 10.Aug 07 21:10
DaemonFCEven worse, it has another non-Free computer that interacts with the user and won't always get upgrades, rendering it essentially useless someday.Aug 07 21:10
DaemonFCThe ECM on the Impala doesn't change, doesn't do OTA "upgrades" that might do something bad, and doesn't really care what year it is, and doesn't "talk" to me except to say if something's not working right.Aug 07 21:11
DaemonFCThe very worst thing that happens if you remove power from it and then power is restored, is it forgets your radio settings.Aug 07 21:12
DaemonFCUnlike BMWs, which forget how to roll the windows up and down unless you pay the dealer to reprogram it.Aug 07 21:12
MinceRlolAug 07 21:13
DaemonFC"Hmm, down, up, down, up....I can totally see why the fucking Germans put this in volatile RAM."Aug 07 21:13
MinceRhey, it was cheaper for themAug 07 21:13
DaemonFCHow is that cheaper?Aug 07 21:14
MinceRjust like all the fragile plastic under the hoodAug 07 21:14
DaemonFCThe Impala has some of that (intakes), but you can get at them without taking half the car apart and 7 hours of labor.Aug 07 21:14
MinceRafaik DRAM is cheaper than flash EEPROM per bitAug 07 21:14
MinceRpresumably the bit of plastic the alleged engine blows a flame at to set the whole alleged car on fire was also a cheap solution for somethingAug 07 21:15

DaemonFCPreviously they said they wanted $466 for a 6 month term, but changing "Not currently insured because I didn't need it." to "Yes I have insurance" brought the 6 month paid in full quote from $466 to $370.Aug 07 21:58
DaemonFCSince MetroMile lets you cancel anytime you want, I could theoretically do so right now and start Geico the next day and I wouldn't have done anything wrong.Aug 07 21:58
DaemonFCGeico's "drive easy" program says it gathers data on weather so they can ding you for driving in bad weather too,.Aug 07 22:06

DaemonFCAlan Rickman will be missed.Aug 07 22:16
MinceRindeedAug 07 22:17
activelowit is a drama, really, because i am left with an old mozilla, with javascript regularly crashing, and no other alternative (except netsurf, or gemini)Aug 07 22:17
activelowthis is the status of free/open web browsersAug 07 22:18
DaemonFCMinceR, Mom appreciates my sense of humor sometimes. Rarely.Aug 07 22:22
DaemonFCShe was talking about how a resident had gone completely crazy once (no names obviously, so I have no idea who she was referring to), this was years ago.Aug 07 22:22
DaemonFCThen died.Aug 07 22:22
DaemonFCI said, "Blessed Silence?".Aug 07 22:23
DaemonFCIt's a religious place, so it seemed fitting.Aug 07 22:23
DaemonFCI have overly sensitive hearing and always have. I have to sleep with earplugs even when we don't have bad neighbors just to muffle the bumps and normal refrigerator noises and stuff.Aug 07 22:24
activelowanyway, this means i cannot offer any distribution anymore with a web-browser suitable for youtube and other "next level of shit"Aug 07 22:26
activelowa web browser which i consider free/openAug 07 22:27
MinceRis webkit acceptable but not blink?Aug 07 22:28
activelownot easily answered: the browser engine (rendering, javascript) needs to be distinguished from the final bundleAug 07 22:29
activelowwebkit (apple) is used by epiphany or midori, which are not available currentlyAug 07 22:30
activelowthen, another option is chromium (and rebranded variants), which i am not at least willing to review anymore, given the size of the source bundleAug 07 22:30
MinceRi guess a free version/fork of qt5 is also outAug 07 22:31
activelowyes, there is another option: qt/webengine, although qt5 with it's dependency graph is hitting dbus/systemd rather often, which means i got qt5 but none of the kde stuffAug 07 22:32
activelowwhich excluded some other browser optionsAug 07 22:33
activelowBlink is chromium, i am not willing to download the sources anymore, since this is 1.5GiB of disk space every few days with another update of some more shitAug 07 22:33

activelowso, i am stuck with an old mozilla version which has various problems. i mean i can keep this for some more month, or maybe even years, but it is dead end already.Aug 07 22:35
activelowi will not accept rust language and llvm/clangAug 07 22:35
activelowif a viable compiler alternative for aarch64 existed, then i would invest all my time into kicking gcc and c++, and not look back anymore to what fsf/gnu/ibm are doingAug 07 22:38
DaemonFCQt is an even bigger disaster than GTK lately.Aug 07 22:56
DaemonFCThe API is all over the place. The upstream is a troll that's completely hostile to having a usable open source edition. Then there's Chromium as a dependency whether that's even useful or not. Eww.Aug 07 22:57

XRevan86activelow: GTK is GLib-based, on C99+.Aug 07 23:46
XRevan86And it will never go the C++ route.Aug 07 23:47
XRevan86Instead it went the GObject Introspection route, with strong bindings for a lot of languages. + Vala.Aug 07 23:48
activelowXRevan86: some background to this, with gentoo i have full control over various features, including introspection which is fully disabled too, and retained GTK3Aug 07 23:49
activelowVala can be removed entirely tooAug 07 23:51
activelowto verify the GTK dependency graph there is only one way to do it: use a GCC with c++ support removed and compile a release including gtk/X11 and see what remainsAug 07 23:57
activelowsince indirect dependency could exist which breaks the treeAug 07 23:58
activelowand, it is not worth the effort yet if i cannot be sure any GCC alternative (excluding clang/llvm) suffices: pcc/tcc/or any otherAug 07 23:59
