XRevan86oh, wait, it's a question on their "wall" from a subscriberApr 14 00:54
XRevan86cubexyz: Anyway, the person who mentioned is someone called Dianne Murnik.Apr 14 00:55
schestowitzwow, I removed the visibility of the kde main panelApr 14 00:55
schestowitzdidn't realise how much noise it really wasApr 14 00:56
schestowitzback to my openbox-like days (months ago)Apr 14 00:56
schestowitzand added the weather widget to the auto-hidden panelApr 14 00:56
schestowitzminimalism is so vastly betterApr 14 00:56
schestowitzalso... the plasma 6 widgets look very niceApr 14 00:56
XRevan86Plasma 6 already? :)Apr 14 00:57
schestowitzthe work done on the graphics side of things is amazing, much better than the kde/qt4 daysApr 14 00:57
schestowitzno, typoApr 14 00:57
schestowitzI didn't even notice the typo until you mentioned itApr 14 00:57
schestowitzqt6 would likely be proprietary, sort ofApr 14 00:57
schestowitzlimited access to itApr 14 00:57
XRevan86schestowitz: Or with a year delay.Apr 14 00:57
schestowitzkde/plasma 6 plans were made in Berlin months agoApr 14 00:57
schestowitzXRevan86: yeahApr 14 00:58
schestowitzsome kde devs want to fork qtApr 14 00:58
schestowitzit would take much effortApr 14 00:58
schestowitzmaybe qt company would reconsider the policy... to avoid this fork existing at allApr 14 00:58
schestowitzanyway, I'm finished at work in a few minutesApr 14 00:58
schestowitzthan I can post publicly againApr 14 00:59

MinceRi think kde will just kindly lie down and die in favor of gnomeApr 14 00:59

XRevan86By the way, did you know that the client for Microsoft OneDrive is written in Qt?Apr 14 01:00
MinceRand the systemd dogma is that Choice is Bad and Competition is BadApr 14 01:00
*mmu_man has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)Apr 14 01:00
schestowitzcubexyz: I tried kde3 some 2 weeks ago, maybe lessApr 14 01:00
schestowitzit looked bad, the graphicsApr 14 01:00
XRevan86It's weird to me that Windows 10 actually has Qt bundled somewhere deep in its internals.Apr 14 01:00
MinceRand it should be obvious even to the kde people that their chosen overlords at ibm want gnome to survive and kde to dieApr 14 01:00
schestowitzI didn't realise how much progress qt and kde made until I saw and use it again with a live CD of 2008Apr 14 01:00
MinceRor at least that they prefer gnomeApr 14 01:00
schestowitzXRevan86: the Microsoft toolkits such apparentlyApr 14 01:01
MinceRmaybe they're too stupid to realize that in a world where choices are heresy, preference means the others must be wiped out completelyApr 14 01:01
schestowitzmore so for cross-platformApr 14 01:01
schestowitzI spoke to someone from Microsoft this weekApr 14 01:01
MinceRyes, microsloth's gui toolkits are atrociousApr 14 01:01
MinceRthey still want you to align each widget pixel by pixelApr 14 01:01
schestowitzhe told me they're working more on making things for other platformsApr 14 01:01
cubexyzschestowitz, which distro are you using these days?Apr 14 01:01
schestowitzbecauase companies complain about Windows-only thingsApr 14 01:01
schestowitzthey're losing itApr 14 01:01

XRevan86schestowitz: Is that code for "we'll be doing more stuff on Electron"?Apr 14 01:02
schestowitzmaybeApr 14 01:02
schestowitzhe was asked to work on mac os x stuff and refusedApr 14 01:02
schestowitzthey can't sell their stuff anymoreApr 14 01:02
schestowitzso they port their binary blobs to other platforms.... which might not help, eitherApr 14 01:02
MinceRwell, electron is certainly badly conceived and designed enough for microsuckApr 14 01:03
schestowitzthey're lied to about "clown" and "azure"Apr 14 01:03
MinceRbut maybe they'll reinvent it even more badly!Apr 14 01:03
schestowitzthey're told they're doing well, but it is financial fraudApr 14 01:03
schestowitzthis is why they attack and infitlrate us BTWApr 14 01:03
schestowitzIt's their last standApr 14 01:03
XRevan86MinceR: Maybe they're rebasing it on top of their Edge now.Apr 14 01:03
schestowitzand they might even pull this off... if there's no reaction and resistanceApr 14 01:03
MinceRyeahApr 14 01:04
cubexyzhttp://www.maxhost.org/other/kde/kde-with-plan9.pngApr 14 01:04
schestowitzOSI and LF disgraced themselvesApr 14 01:04
cubexyzI did some crazy experimentsApr 14 01:04
schestowitzand maybe rightly soApr 14 01:04
MinceRgood, then we know we can't trust themApr 14 01:04
schestowitzFSF might make a comeback... I think they get along with RMS and I better these days.... they realise they need to coexist with the "not so shiny" LudditesApr 14 01:05
MinceRhow will the FSF excise the SJW cancer in themselves?Apr 14 01:05
MinceRwill they even want to do that?Apr 14 01:05

schestowitzKuhn did a blog post about itApr 14 01:05
MinceRthe people who prop up systemd even though it's designed to take our freedom awayApr 14 01:05
schestowitzMinceR: these people are in the minorityApr 14 01:06
schestowitzthey don't have enough leverageApr 14 01:06
MinceRthey had enough leverage to cancel RMSApr 14 01:06
schestowitznot entirelyApr 14 01:06

schestowitzI never came across this libApr 14 03:26
Ariadneit's one of those things that is in the underbelly of the GNU toolchain groupApr 14 03:26
schestowitzBTW, I have seen not a single mention of Alpine in relation to WSL for over a year (which is a good sign)Apr 14 03:27
schestowitzWSL+WSL2 seems to be a failure, as they refuse to disclose usage numbers and when they said they would they change their minds. I reckon it's a massive failure, well below their hopes and expectationsApr 14 03:28
schestowitzThis past week they bombarded the media with fluff about adding as "Tux" icon to Explorer for access to files in WSL... but one wonders if they even have a million active users worldwide (I doubt it)Apr 14 03:29
XRevan86schestowitz: I expect this to soon change.Apr 14 03:31
schestowitzbrb cup of coffee..Apr 14 03:31
schestowitzXRevan86: usage to go up? I doubt itApr 14 03:31
schestowitzgnu/linux is free and getting easier to install, run as vm etc.Apr 14 03:32
XRevan86schestowitz: Windows 10 is expecting an update this month (or the next month), where WSL2 will be officially introduced.Apr 14 03:32
schestowitzMicrosoft is trying to stop or control the floodgatesApr 14 03:32
XRevan86schestowitz: So mentions of WSL will go up.Apr 14 03:32
schestowitzXRevan86: if people choose toApr 14 03:32
schestowitzthey target unixy devsApr 14 03:33
XRevan86I meant mentions, not usages.Apr 14 03:33
schestowitzbut those devs often know how to install and dual-boot gnu/linuxApr 14 03:33
schestowitzin some workplaces they ban gnu/linuxApr 14 03:33
schestowitzthat's where they might use wsl-xApr 14 03:33
schestowitzXRevan86: well, they googlebomb "Linux" for years nowApr 14 03:33
schestowitzthe "microsoft loves linux" lie calmed downApr 14 03:33
schestowitzalmost nobody even pushes that anymoreApr 14 03:34
schestowitzone of the pushers of it was arrested, others no longer writeApr 14 03:34
schestowitzthey discredited themselvesApr 14 03:34
schestowitzI spoke to WSL project managersApr 14 03:34
schestowitzthey have away their support of the patent blackmailApr 14 03:34
schestowitzwhich I then documentedApr 14 03:34
schestowitztogether with some former Microsoft staff we challenged them on itApr 14 03:35
schestowitzand then they got a little uncomfortable and tried to discredit meApr 14 03:35
schestowitztheir team might even be disbanded at some point, like many Microsoft projectsApr 14 03:35
schestowitzthey don't seem to have gained traction 4 years down the lineApr 14 03:35
schestowitzCanonical's main WSL person leftApr 14 03:35
schestowitzand they hired a  shameless Microsoft person insteadApr 14 03:36
schestowitzwho then stalked me in TwitterApr 14 03:36
cubexyzI'd say M$ loves Linux as much as I love covid-19Apr 14 03:36
schestowitzif it gained so little traction since 2016, expect it mothballed or shelved as "legacy"... like many other WIndows thingsApr 14 03:36
schestowitzlike their "ebook" 'store' (DRM bonfire)Apr 14 03:37
XRevan86schestowitz: WSL1 was literally already shelved :)Apr 14 03:37
schestowitzcubexyz: that compares Linux to a parasiteApr 14 03:37
schestowitzit's pointless, XRevan86Apr 14 03:37
schestowitzthink about itApr 14 03:37
schestowitzyou can copy-paste from VMApr 14 03:37
XRevan86The whole technology for a kernel hybrid, made and then trashedApr 14 03:37
schestowitzshare filesApr 14 03:37
schestowitzand you can use the latest version, ISO etc.Apr 14 03:38
schestowitzso WSL is for people who think "store" is easier than virtualboxApr 14 03:38
schestowitzor dual-booting, which also isn't hard, you can virtualise vista10 under gnu/linux tooApr 14 03:38
schestowitzif you explain this to people they then realise wsl is totally mootApr 14 03:38
schestowitzit's not even innovativeApr 14 03:38
schestowitzit's like going BACK to cygwin daysApr 14 03:39
schestowitzI used that back in 2001Apr 14 03:39
XRevan86schestowitz: I just mean that the technology has already been shelved, so it already happened.Apr 14 03:39
schestowitzoh, look, wow!! wsl gets a KERNEL!! Wow, you can access FILES!!! Wow! Party like it's 2002!Apr 14 03:39
cubexyzwell history could have been differentApr 14 03:40
schestowitzI saw very few blog posts where wsl is mentioned by someone who uses itApr 14 03:40
schestowitzusually some windows-only workplace or Microsoft fansApr 14 03:40
XRevan86And WSL2 is a VM, so it's closer to VirtualBox than to Cygwin.Apr 14 03:40
schestowitzmaybe 2 blog posts in 4 yearsApr 14 03:40
schestowitzXRevan86: and VB is nothing newApr 14 03:40
cubexyzAT&T could have let Unix into the public domain Apr 14 03:40
schestowitzVB is better in a lot of waysApr 14 03:40
schestowitzyour VM, for instance, is more portableApr 14 03:41
schestowitzyou don't give up control to proprietary WIndows "store"Apr 14 03:41
schestowitzwith DRM afaik, even for WSLApr 14 03:41
schestowitzThe "2" is funnyApr 14 03:41
schestowitzthey added a kernelApr 14 03:41
schestowitzso GNU2 is "Linux"?Apr 14 03:41
XRevan86schestowitz: It even runs some stuff without hardware virtualisation, which I guess WSL is now incapable of doing.Apr 14 03:41
schestowitzIt's like 2.0Apr 14 03:41
schestowitzRebranding for more hypeApr 14 03:41
schestowitzpeople didn't express interest in WSL, so they rebranded with a 2Apr 14 03:42
schestowitzwhat next? WSL 3.11?Apr 14 03:42
schestowitzOh, BTWApr 14 03:42
XRevan86schestowitz: Well, it is fundamentally different, so a major version number makes sense.Apr 14 03:42
schestowitzKDE project shared some usage figures/download figures from Windows storeApr 14 03:43
schestowitzit was laughableApr 14 03:43
XRevan86Although the name no longer makes sense at all.Apr 14 03:43
schestowitzlike a few thousands of downloadsApr 14 03:43
XRevan86It's not a Windows Subsystem.Apr 14 03:43
schestowitzmakes you wonder if packaging for this DRM store was even worth the time/effortApr 14 03:43
schestowitzXRevan86: it's a VM controlled by MicrosoftApr 14 03:43
schestowitzand you don't need MS for that VMApr 14 03:43
schestowitzYesterday phoronix wrote about it...Apr 14 03:44

cubexyzthat's what I try to tell peopleApr 14 03:44
schestowitzI cannot open it without consenting to Quantcast malwareApr 14 03:44
schestowitzthey cannot handle the latest Ubuntu, so one might as well use VB with the latest beta, which is a week oldApr 14 03:45

schestowitz1) I don't know anyone who uses WSLApr 14 05:04
schestowitz2) Among blog posts from 2016-2020 I saw only 2 or so of people who actively use itApr 14 05:04
Ariadneas mentioned, the only people i know who tried it went back to using macsApr 14 05:04
schestowitzmost coverage of it is Microsoft-connected fluff (marketing)Apr 14 05:04
Ariadnethis isn't about gnu/linux as much as it is about providing a competitor to the mac terminalApr 14 05:04
oiaohmI see WSL as a tread mil of failure that will keep on forcing Microsoft in a particular reason.Apr 14 05:05
Ariadnetrust me, nobody cares about desktop linuxApr 14 05:05
schestowitzwe doApr 14 05:05
oiaohmLot of people on mac are using linux vmsApr 14 05:05
Ariadneyes, we do, but your average person does notApr 14 05:05
oiaohmWhen you are deploy on Linux servers not test that stuff comes problem.Apr 14 05:05
schestowitzwe won't be using 'phones' to do our codingApr 14 05:05
schestowitzor to connect to serversApr 14 05:05
Ariadneyour average "developer" is a latte-sipping mac user who is chilling at starbucksApr 14 05:05
Ariadneand that is what WSL targetsApr 14 05:06
oiaohmWSL was design with the idea trying to make the work flow for servers back linked all to Microsoft.Apr 14 05:06
schestowitzthey're hipster devsApr 14 05:06
oiaohmIts not really working out.Apr 14 05:06

oiaohmfun part is for gpu acceleration of stuff on servers that is problemmatic.Apr 14 05:07
Ariadneanyway, arguing with people who live in a GNU bubble about the realities of capitalist software companies is not a great use of my timeApr 14 05:08
oiaohmAriadne: really you can say Linux desktop is a joke problem is some server workloads you do need fragments out of the desktop side so they work well.Apr 14 05:08
Ariadneoiaohm: coolApr 14 05:08
Ariadnethat's great, but devs don't give a shitApr 14 05:08
AriadneWSL is a product that is meant to be used as glueApr 14 05:08
Ariadneas is done on  the macApr 14 05:08
oiaohmdev do when there stuff does not run well.Apr 14 05:08
Ariadnei have spoken to plenty of MS people about WSLApr 14 05:09
Ariadnewhen i say "devs" i mean the devs MS is targeting with WSL, typescript, vs code, etcApr 14 05:09
oiaohmAriadne: so am I.  Like there are particular things like gpu acceleration in postgresql databases and other things.Apr 14 05:10
Ariadnethose people want to use bash scripts to tie together adobe photoshop and npmApr 14 05:10
oiaohmYes they need X11 server due to Nvidia stupid interfacesApr 14 05:10
Ariadnewhich they can do on mac, and mac works well for thisApr 14 05:10
Ariadnewsl however is completely broken for thisApr 14 05:10
oiaohmNoApr 14 05:10
Ariadneso nobody uses itApr 14 05:10
AriadneyesApr 14 05:10
oiaohmThere are a few acceleration things you need Linux kernel or they don't work.Apr 14 05:11
Ariadneyes, i knowApr 14 05:11
Ariadnebut guess whatApr 14 05:11
Ariadnethese people who use WSL aren't doing any of that shitApr 14 05:11
Ariadneor rather, the intended audience of WSL, since nobody actually uses WSLApr 14 05:12
oiaohmNo those people are not using WSL but they have open bugs asking for the features against WSL.Apr 14 05:12
Ariadneyes, and those features are out of scope of the productApr 14 05:12
Ariadneis what i am telling youApr 14 05:12
AriadneMS does not careApr 14 05:12
AriadneWSL has one purpose and one purpose only, to compete with OS X terminal experienceApr 14 05:12
Ariadneusing linux userspace to accomplish thisApr 14 05:13
oiaohmTo be correct that is no.Apr 14 05:13
Ariadneit is incidentally a massive failureApr 14 05:13
Ariadnebecause it does not even accomplish the intended purposeApr 14 05:13
Ariadnethe target audience tries WSL and returns to using their macs insteadApr 14 05:13
Ariadnebecause the key thing that makes all of this work on the mac isApr 14 05:14
oiaohmThe WSL stuff starts wanting to run Android under windows mobile.   The from the Azure team to attempt to move Linux server workloads back to Windows server.   Then finally to Windows Desktop..Apr 14 05:14
oiaohmSo Mac really does not have anything todo with that path.Apr 14 05:14
oiaohmIts a long long list of failure after failure.Apr 14 05:14
Ariadnethat's funny considering every MS person i have talked to has said that it does on windows desktopApr 14 05:14
oiaohmThey don't talk about the history.Apr 14 05:15
Ariadnei'm aware of the historyApr 14 05:15
oiaohmThey are told not to talk about the history.Apr 14 05:15
Ariadnebut it is in windows desktop to try to compete with macsApr 14 05:15
Ariadnethat is the realityApr 14 05:15
Ariadneanyway, this conversation is not a good use of my timeApr 14 05:16
oiaohmIt was the Azure guys who first put the prototype in desktop.Apr 14 05:16
oiaohmIt server driven first.Apr 14 05:16
oiaohmMac is the latter cover story.Apr 14 05:16
Ariadneeither wayApr 14 05:16
Ariadneit does not fucking matterApr 14 05:16
Ariadnebecause they have failed with that tooApr 14 05:17
Ariadneand i was going to explain that fail but you are sperging about server and azure and blah blah blahApr 14 05:17
Ariadneso never fucking mindApr 14 05:17
oiaohmNow if they could get WSL to work on the desktop with funding there they then could attempt the windows server bit again.Apr 14 05:17
oiaohmSo far it not working out well at all.Apr 14 05:17
Ariadnethe problem is that desktop use of terminal for your average personApr 14 05:17
Ariadneis automationApr 14 05:17
Ariadneand OS X has applescriptApr 14 05:17
Ariadneand you can fire off applescript events from terminal appsApr 14 05:18
AriadneWSL does not have anything like thisApr 14 05:18
Ariadneso its basically fucking useless for typical usersApr 14 05:18
oiaohmYou have more native Linux automationApr 14 05:18
AriadneyesApr 14 05:18
Ariadnebut the people microsoft want to entice with windows 10 (mac users)Apr 14 05:19
Ariadnewant to drive adobe photoshop etcApr 14 05:19
Ariadnenot linux desktop appsApr 14 05:19
Ariadnethey do not care about linux desktop appsApr 14 05:19
Ariadnethey care about the proprietary apps they already paid a lot of money forApr 14 05:19
oiaohmIts been the problem that the command line automations of Linux was failing big tme under WSL1 and WSL2 is now failing with some of that as welll ie docker failures.Apr 14 05:20
oiaohmSo its not just graphical automation that missing/screwed.Apr 14 05:20
AriadnesureApr 14 05:20
Ariadnei'm just saying for typical desktop users looking for terminal experienceApr 14 05:20
Ariadneautomating the apps they already have is the big thingApr 14 05:20
Ariadneand WSL is useless for thisApr 14 05:21
oiaohmautomation of automated testsuite when you modify a program for Linux is important that it works as well.Apr 14 05:21
oiaohmThat has been failing as well.Apr 14 05:21
Ariadnemicrosoft sell this as symbiosis between linux and windows environment, best of both worldsApr 14 05:21
Ariadnebut in realityApr 14 05:21
oiaohmYep a broken mess.Apr 14 05:21
Ariadneyou can't make use of windows environment effectively in WSLApr 14 05:21
Ariadneverses macApr 14 05:22
oiaohmEven if you could not use the windows environment in WSL its no the biggest deal breaker.Apr 14 05:22
Ariadnewhere you can drive basically any mac app you want from terminalApr 14 05:22
Ariadnesince applescript is baked into the coreApr 14 05:22
oiaohmThe fact you modify something like gcc rebuild it and run it test suit and its bogus results is the deal breaker of the largest scale.Apr 14 05:23
Ariadnethe average person wants to do something likeApr 14 05:23
Ariadnerender these scenes in adobe premiere and pop up a directory window once it's doneApr 14 05:23
oiaohmI am not talking average I am talking developer Apr 14 05:23
oiaohmserver stuff developer.Apr 14 05:23

oiaohmWSL1 and WSL2 is not giving that.Apr 14 05:24
Ariadnewell, running a test suite under emulation is a waste of time anywayApr 14 05:24
Ariadnewhich is why x86 has wonApr 14 05:24
Ariadnepeople want server to match what they have locallyApr 14 05:25
oiaohmtest suite under emulation is not always a waste of time.Apr 14 05:25
Ariadneit depends on the quality of emulationApr 14 05:25
Ariadneqemu-user, wsl1, wsl2 are all insufficientApr 14 05:25
oiaohmusing qemu emulating arm building gcc on a real Linux  system give real results.Apr 14 05:25
oiaohmsorry to say I have used a lot of qemu-user.Apr 14 05:25
Ariadneqemu-user for mips is quite buggyApr 14 05:26
Ariadneprograms will hang randomlyApr 14 05:26
oiaohmqemu-user results are right 99 percent for armApr 14 05:26
Ariadnebut run fine on real hardwareApr 14 05:26
oiaohmqemu mips emulation I will give you is problem child.Apr 14 05:26
oiaohmPlease note qemu mips is problem child  in full vm as well as user mode so its not one or the other.Apr 14 05:28
Ariadneqemu-mips got us a lot of the way with alpine porting thoApr 14 05:28
Ariadneso it is not the worst :)Apr 14 05:28
oiaohmEven that qemu-mips is a problem child is still not as bad as WSl1Apr 14 05:28
Ariadneoh yes, WSL1 is quite badApr 14 05:29
Ariadnei refuse to accept bug reports from WSL1 users in some of my softwareApr 14 05:29

oiaohmNow that Microsoft is shipping the Linux kernel with Windows 10 they are getting more restricted what they can do on the patent side as well.Apr 14 05:31
Ariadneif microsoft wanted to control gnu/linux they could just make a windows 11 with their desktop ported to run on a linux userspaceApr 14 05:31

schestowitzwellApr 14 05:36
oiaohmAriadne: that kind of wrong.   https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/drawbridge/   drawbridge was in fact design to be on top of Windows not LInux.Apr 14 05:36

schestowitznot "open source"Apr 14 05:36
oiaohmMicrosoft basically reached around and grabed what parts they could to port sql server and other things.Apr 14 05:36
schestowitzand the "added value" won't free free softwareApr 14 05:37
schestowitzso we need to aim for something elseApr 14 05:37
Ariadneschestowitz: microsoft see themselves as the new IBM basicallyApr 14 05:37
Ariadnealthough really, they are more like the new OracleApr 14 05:37
Ariadneall of these companies are quite ghastlyApr 14 05:37
oiaohmAriadne: funny right drawbridge was designed for windows yet out of need to due dropping server market to sell sql server to they end up porting it to Linux.Apr 14 05:37
schestowitzIBM came from hardwareApr 14 05:38
schestowitzunless you mean the patentsApr 14 05:38
Ariadneoiaohm: i'm aware of drawbridge's initial purposeApr 14 05:38
schestowitzthey also got the same person, PhelpsApr 14 05:38
schestowitztbh we can mostly ignore microsoft in this spaceApr 14 05:38
oiaohmLot of ways Microsoft is basically doing Linux support not because they want to but because they have to so they don't keep on losing market share.Apr 14 05:38

schestowitzoiaohm: so don't help themApr 14 05:39

Ariadnelike i said, at this point, enterprise is their revenue streamApr 14 05:41
oiaohmLot of ways Oracle is more distruptive to open source operations than Microsoft.Apr 14 05:42
schestowitzAriadne: that's what Microsoft didApr 14 05:42
schestowitzasking for patent money from mysql Apr 14 05:42
schestowitznot OracleApr 14 05:42

schestowitzcorrect me if I missed something about patent demands from oracle... not DalvikApr 14 05:42
oiaohmAriadne: I would not say Microsoft cared about gnu/Linux ever.Apr 14 05:42
schestowitzOK, so we can agree on getting rid of bothApr 14 05:43
Ariadneoiaohm: on server, they did for a whileApr 14 05:43
schestowitznot helping either scoracle or sco/msftApr 14 05:43

oiaohmI don't see Microsoft acting nice to Linux as something they willing did.Apr 14 05:44
schestowitzinsiders would tell you, they also lose loads of money trying to take share from aws and after years of trying, they can only fake 'success' with corrupt mediaApr 14 05:44
Ariadneoiaohm: in ballmer era, i agree, but at this point, as i said, they have shifted focus a lotApr 14 05:44
oiaohmMore something where their arm was twisted by many parties and they basically started crying uncle in the form of we love linux.Apr 14 05:44
schestowitzAriadne: they still do patent blackmailApr 14 05:44
Ariadneschestowitz: so do IBM and OracleApr 14 05:45
schestowitzthe difference is that they tell us they love usApr 14 05:45
Ariadneschestowitz: so do IBM and OracleApr 14 05:45
schestowitzAriadne: different targetsApr 14 05:45
schestowitzibm seems to target web companiesApr 14 05:45

Ariadneor IBM or OracleApr 14 05:45
AriadnehahaApr 14 05:45
schestowitzand I'm told to wait and see if tjhe new ceo and pres of IBM (the latter being Jim) do the same or end itApr 14 05:45
Ariadnethe end game is to destroy software patentsApr 14 05:46
oiaohmIBM history its insane rare they use patents offensively.   Most common problem with IBM and patents is you attacked them and of course they hit back./Apr 14 05:46
schestowitzonly days ago they started these jobs/positionsApr 14 05:46
schestowitzAriadne: agredApr 14 05:46
schestowitz*eedApr 14 05:46
Ariadnei am just saying, at this pointApr 14 05:46
Ariadnei think microsoft is quite irrelevantApr 14 05:46
oiaohmOracle and Microsoft history you find them selling patents to trolls so their patents are used agreesively without there name being linked to it.Apr 14 05:47
schestowitzit is in some sensesApr 14 05:47
Ariadnewe have quite effectively neutered themApr 14 05:47
schestowitzbut we still want more people to use LINUX or LUNIX on their stuffApr 14 05:47
Ariadnedo we?Apr 14 05:47
schestowitznot just android  malware and "CHROME"Apr 14 05:47
oiaohmIBM has a funny one back in history the first troll IBM sold a patent to sold it to another patent troll who then attacked IBM with it.Apr 14 05:47
Ariadnei would like people to use the highest quality free software they can findApr 14 05:47
schestowitzyes, we do, it would pave the way to more free sw like libreofficeApr 14 05:47
oiaohmAt that point IBM put a policy in don't sell patents.Apr 14 05:47
Ariadneunfortunately, that is not really GNU/Linux in a lot of waysApr 14 05:47
oiaohmIBM patents over all there are lot of them but IBM not generally aggressive.Apr 14 05:48
Ariadnefor example, Alpine is not a GNU/Linux system.Apr 14 05:48
schestowitzoiaohm: maybe it will be over timeApr 14 05:49
Ariadnebecause modern GNU/Linux is complicated and built on dubious engineering like systemdApr 14 05:49
schestowitzalthough the new leadership suggests otherwiseApr 14 05:49
schestowitzRometty made them a bigger bullyApr 14 05:49
AriadneAlpine uses GNU components where they are the best availableApr 14 05:49
oiaohmsysvinit before systemd was also dubious engineering.Apr 14 05:49
AriadneindeedApr 14 05:49
schestowitzPalmisano I liked... he also supported ODF and stuffApr 14 05:49
Ariadneand i think diversity in free software choices is a good thingApr 14 05:50
oiaohmI would say yes and on on diversityApr 14 05:50
oiaohmWe do have cases where projects are too far under resourced so they would be better off to reduce choices and merge in some areas so they have more suitable man power.Apr 14 05:51
Ariadnetbh i see rust as a serious threat to software freedomApr 14 05:51
oiaohmSome cases diversity is good some cases it bad but its case by case.Apr 14 05:51
Ariadnebecause rust has harmed the portability of free softwareApr 14 05:52
oiaohmSame could be said about historic C its not that portable really.Apr 14 05:52
Ariadneas well as the viability of binary distributionApr 14 05:52
Ariadne(rust does not have a stable ABI)Apr 14 05:53
Ariadne(or a formal specification)Apr 14 05:53
oiaohmNeither does CApr 14 05:53
oiaohmon the stable ABI bit.Apr 14 05:53
oiaohmDoes have a formal specification so that is a help.Apr 14 05:53
oiaohmBut early C did not have a formal specification either.Apr 14 05:53
AriadneC has platform-level stable ABIs (POSIX), and a formal specification.Apr 14 05:53
oiaohmThat came latter in C history.Apr 14 05:54
Ariadne(well, POSIX and the ELF ABIs)Apr 14 05:54
oiaohmRust is still quite young.Apr 14 05:54
Ariadneyes, i knowApr 14 05:54
oiaohmIf rust grows up like C did it will not be a problem.Apr 14 05:54
Ariadneyes, rust is quite young, which means it is irresponsible to rewrite things like librsvg in itApr 14 05:54
Ariadnenow, we have to ship an ancient librsvg for architectures rust does not supportApr 14 05:54
schestowitzrust is mirosoft-controlledApr 14 05:55

DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: I have a bone to pick in this election.Apr 14 07:33
DaemonFC[m]First off, I get to vote to raise taxes on my in laws.Apr 14 07:33
DaemonFC[m]So that's cool.Apr 14 07:33
DaemonFC[m]Secondly, I get to vote against the prosecutor that went after me last year.Apr 14 07:33
DaemonFC[m]It's my lawyer's partner that's running against the guy.Apr 14 07:35
DaemonFC[m]Ethics rules prohibited my lawyer from endorsing him, but he called everyone in the rolodex (or whatever) to mention that he was running and he "just didn't want there to be an appearance of impropriety.....your case will be out of the system by then.....just letting you know".Apr 14 07:36
DaemonFC[m]Honestly I have no idea what he'll really do but I'll help push this guy that went after me out of office. Sure, why not? I'm sure that was the point of the callApr 14 07:37
DaemonFC[m]Tap everyone this guy went after on the shoulder. Tell them that their defense lawyer is running against him.Apr 14 07:37
DaemonFC[m]I wonder how, exactly, the Republicans plan to flip blue states red.Apr 14 07:50
DaemonFC[m]COVID is the #1 killer of Americans 12 days in a row now and 95% of the people who die are over 50.Apr 14 07:51
DaemonFC[m]Unless their plan is to build a time radio to tell people in the 50s to fuck more, they can't replace the people who voted for Trump last time.Apr 14 07:51
DaemonFC[m]The problem I guess for Republicans is that they managed to keep many black people poor and downtrodden for so long that many don't make it to 60 anyway.Apr 14 07:54
DaemonFC[m]There's a fuckton of them but they're not making new ones.Apr 14 08:01

DaemonFC[m]Actually, it's mostly killing Evangelicals, other Trump voters, and prisoners.Apr 14 20:32
DaemonFC[m]In Illinois it's already disposed of at least two child fuckers and a guy with a string of armed robberies and muggings.Apr 14 20:32
DaemonFC[m]It's solving more crime than the goddamned cops. It killed a few of them too, but they're criminals and thugs and were probably on the take anyway because cops and Chicago.Apr 14 20:32
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: The Trump voters won't vote Republican again. The prisoners probably don't vote anyway and won't have an effect on the elections, but they won't re-offend after this. Bonus!Apr 14 20:34

DaemonFC[m]MinceR: I've decided to vote to impeach all judges in Lake County except D. Christopher Lombardo, and to vote for my defense attorney's partner to take over as the prosecutor.Apr 14 20:35

DaemonFC[m]If this COVID thing ends up killing even 2% of the US population and they're almost entirely over 60, that's a pretty big loss for the Republican party.Apr 14 20:51
DaemonFC[m]That's to the point where it definitely flips some elections away from them.Apr 14 20:52
DaemonFC[m]We've had several very close elections in my lifetime. Since 2000 there was "officially" 517 votes between Bush and Gore in Florida in 2000.Apr 14 20:52
DaemonFC[m]Then there was like 140 or something in Minnesota between Al Franken and Norm Coleman in 2008.Apr 14 20:53
DaemonFC[m]It doesn't take much to swing an election if it would have been margins like that.Apr 14 20:53
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: The Republican prosecutor in Lake County had better hope it stops getting worse here.Apr 14 20:56
DaemonFC[m]It's eating into his base.Apr 14 20:57
DaemonFC[m]Eric Rinehart needs to swing the election 3 points vs. the last guy who went up and lost to Michael Nerheim.Apr 14 20:57
DaemonFC[m]If COVID mops the floor with old people in Lake County, IL, it could be a much smaller gap.Apr 14 20:58
