[13:30] schestowitz
[13:30] DaemonFC I counted at least two dozen offensive words that Microsoft refuses to patch out of Fallout 4 even though they still push updates to it.
[13:30] DaemonFC Which characters will still say out loud if you name your character that.
[13:30] schestowitz you start with a template and then fill the text where needed. wordpress in text mode just takes that at the end, but never gets used as text editor
[13:30] DaemonFC I might mention this.
[13:31] schestowitz the undo staff in native editor is a lot better and no worries about browser crashes
[13:31] DaemonFC Browser crashes don't really happen too much in GNOME Web, not even tab crashes.
[13:31] schestowitz I adopted this workflow more than 15 years ago
[13:31] DaemonFC But T-Mobile's modem is flaky and so you may lose something due to the connection being lost and the Wordpress Editor not being able to autosave.
[13:32] schestowitz back then firefox was less stable
[13:32] schestowitz BTW, rianne likes librewolf better
[13:32] schestowitz but she says it did not save her password when she logged in
[13:33] psydruid I've just deleted all the Lagrange binaries and built it from source
[13:34] DaemonFC It has the same password manager as Firefox.
[13:35] DaemonFC I enabled the import from CSV file preference in about:config and imported all of mine.
[13:35] DaemonFC Mozilla is now spamming their Mozilla VPN in private windows.
[13:35] DaemonFC And occasionally in its own tab when you start Firefox.
[13:36] DaemonFC You have to go uncheck two more boxes to get rid of that.
[13:36] DaemonFC This is horrible.
[13:36] DaemonFC It's already bad enough that extensions can do this when they get updated.
[13:37] DaemonFC "Hey did you notice that the extension was updated?"
[13:37] DaemonFC And it may not even be one you interact with directly.
[13:37] DaemonFC Decentraleyes does it.
[13:38] DaemonFC It just shoves CDN crap into the page directly so it doesn't go out to a CDN server, and the page that needs the API won't break.
[13:38] DaemonFC schestowitz, Fractal on GNOME is such a mess that they say they're going to have to rewrite the entire thing already.
[13:38] DaemonFC Because of new Rust features and a new Matrix SDK.
[13:39] DaemonFC And GTK 4, of course.

[13:41] schestowitz [13:35] Mozilla is now spamming their Mozilla VPN in private windows.
[13:41] schestowitz it did it to me yesterday
[13:41] schestowitz [16:21] WTF was that?? I've just opened #mozilla #fireox and it popped up an ad for #vpn in a new tab. I did not ask for this and I already opted out of ALL that junk. Is Mozilla becoming more aggressive? It's a good thing that last night my wife and I moved to #librewolf
[13:42] schestowitz Glad to hear it was not just me
[13:42] psydruid Fractal is also very slow
[13:42] schestowitz did other people report this in reddit and whatnot?
[13:43] psydruid All of these newer GTK applications feel a bit slow
[13:43] psydruid Dino does too
[13:43] schestowitz MinceR would say Slowlaris
[13:43] schestowitz it used to use GNOME
[13:43] psydruid It's almost as if you're using Vista applications
[13:43] schestowitz or virus protection
[13:44] psydruid How much life does Firefox has left in it?
[13:44] psydruid I think the sooner it's gone the better
[13:45] schestowitz but waity
[13:45] schestowitz wait
[13:45] schestowitz we have thunderbird
[13:45] psydruid So its engine can be isolated and frontends can be written for it again
[13:45] schestowitz who will maintain that?
[13:45] psydruid What does Thunderbird use?
[13:45] schestowitz gecko
[13:45] schestowitz but tbh, it hardly does html anymore
[13:46] psydruid I think the real problem is that no one understands these codebases anymore outside of Mozilla
[13:46] schestowitz mozilla killed almost all the extensions for it
[13:46] schestowitz the more they modernise it, the more they break
[13:46] psydruid And it will take time to get up to speed with the current state of the code
[13:46] schestowitz librewolf has a bug we noticed
[13:46] schestowitz the scrolling stops sometimes
[13:46] schestowitz rianne and I both have this bug
[13:46] schestowitz in the flatpak of v 94
[13:47] psydruid But if you have tried to build Firefox or Thunderbird, you realise it has become one big mess
[13:47] schestowitz one workaround is to scroll in another application and then get back to librewolf
[13:47] psydruid DaemonFC probably knows more than we do
[13:47] schestowitz Barry from EasyOS knows
[13:47] schestowitz but the same is true for all modern browsers
[13:47] schestowitz esp. blink/gecko
[13:47] psydruid Various versions of Autoconf and Automake made me give up building it
[13:47] schestowitz which is like... almost all of them
[13:50] psydruid I think the biggest problem is that as long as Mozilla exists, they will keep churning out new code and new releases just for the sake of keeping the treadmill going for their actual masters
[13:50] psydruid I consider a liability rather than an asset now
[13:50] psydruid consider it*

[13:57] schestowitz psydruid: firefox forks have a challnge
[13:57] schestowitz similar to linux-libre
[13:57] schestowitz their patchset needs to be scripted
[13:57] psydruid yes
[13:57] schestowitz because firefox releases and chromium too for that matter are very frequenty
[13:57] schestowitz more so than linux
[13:57] schestowitz systemd is super-fast in changing
[13:57] psydruid I don't consider it viable path forward unless you do a hard fork
[13:57] schestowitz so there's no way to keep track of and integrate changes
[13:58] schestowitz except with de-blobbing and de-spying scripts
[13:58] psydruid and remove all the cruft in the engine once and for all
[13:58] schestowitz mozilla can intentionally work around such scripts to break them
[13:58] psydruid which means mozilla is hostile towards its users
[13:58] psydruid who wants to use software like that?
[13:58] schestowitz gafan
[13:59] schestowitz *gam
[13:59] psydruid gamma
[13:59] schestowitz gamma group
[13:59] schestowitz finfisher
[13:59] schestowitz the 'german nso group'
● Nov 16
[14:00] schestowitz finfisher is their "pegasus"
[14:01] psydruid so maybe we should be aiming for Mozilla to go under by getting its marketshare to zero
[14:01] psydruid then we can take the ashes of Firefox and make it rise again like a Phoenix
[14:01] psydruid that would be hilarious actually
[14:02] psydruid to bring its carcass back as Phoenix once again
[14:02] schestowitz netscape second rising
[14:07] psydruid it isn't even clear to me where the Firefox and Thunderbird code reside
[14:07] DaemonFC schestowitz, "Repeated challenged"

[14:13] DaemonFC schestowitz, They devolve the Internet into porn, advertising, and fights with the neighbors.
[14:13] DaemonFC It really is 1984.
[14:13] schestowitz DaemonFC: does librewolf save password adn history for you?
[14:13] schestowitz it does not for us...
[14:13] DaemonFC You don't see anything going on in Facebook anymore except people arguing with each other.
[14:14] schestowitz oligarchs like it like that
[14:14] schestowitz tribalism
[14:14] schestowitz meanwhile they push patents to us
[14:14] schestowitz $1000 'phones', $100 'vaccines' etc.
[14:14] schestowitz patent tax
[14:14] schestowitz capital moving upwards
[14:14] schestowitz even food is becoming irrationally priced
[14:14] schestowitz and they get subsidies, still
[14:15] DaemonFC schestowitz, Under Logins and Passwords.
[14:15] DaemonFC You have to enable it to ask to save them.
[14:15] DaemonFC History is off by default. You can enable it.
[14:15] DaemonFC It's basically in a locked down "private browsing" to the extreme sort of mode.
[14:15] DaemonFC You need to enable things sometimes.
[14:16] psydruid I saw that Firefox VPN tab too
[14:16] DaemonFC even food is becoming irrationally priced
[14:16] psydruid Too bad for Mozilla I use it for very few things these days
[14:17] DaemonFC It's terrible. I told Mandy I was making a roast tonight.
[14:17] DaemonFC He said "Beef? Eww!".
[14:17] psydruid and I should also make Librewolf the default "Mozilla" browser
[14:17] DaemonFC I said, "Be glad we coudl afford it. It's $30 for a pack of steak these days unless it's markdowns day.".
[14:21] schestowitz DaemonFC: thanks, rianne and I 'fixed' it
[14:21] schestowitz [14:17] He said "Beef? Eww!".
[14:21] schestowitz tell him the contingency is the dog at the back
[14:22] schestowitz but it's still alive, so must be 'boarded'
[14:23] activelow firefox keeps a profile directory accross restarts
[14:23] activelow i wrote a launcher script, which deleted this
[14:24] activelow firefox supports multiple profiles, these can be created during launch, to activate proxy, change some settings in advance or similar

[14:25] schestowitz activelow: you can set librewolf to not save the data
[14:25] schestowitz but it keeps profile with settings, extensions, etc.
[14:25] activelow schestowitz: it does nonetheless, probably
[14:25] schestowitz and upon first start or no profile you get pop-ups
[14:25] activelow the firefox profiles contained some type of ID string, which were retained accross restarts/reboots too
[14:26] activelow the only safe way to handle this, was deleting the profile directory, and re-create it, which too assigned a new ID
[14:26] schestowitz iirc, mozilla uses several dot dirs for settings
[14:26] schestowitz so you might not be deleting enough
[14:27] schestowitz .config and .cache is common
[14:27] activelow i took care of this
[14:27] schestowitz in the past, .mozilla and .firefox (iirc) both existed
[14:27] activelow with each start my firefox was 100% fresh and clean
[14:27] schestowitz there's still .thunderbird
[14:27] activelow didn't use thunderbird
[14:27] activelow and kicked out mozilla, for other reasons
[14:29] activelow schestowitz: shall i review librewolf?
[14:29] activelow or, if anyone else had it installed, see for yourself if the profile directory is there, with some random ID which is retained
[14:31] activelow SEE THIS:
[14:31] activelow rm -rf "$HOME/.mozilla/seamonkey/*.adblock"
[14:31] activelow rm -rf "$HOME/.cache/mozilla/seamonkey/*.adblock"
[14:31] activelow /usr/lib/seamonkey/seamonkey --new-instance -CreateProfile adblock || exit 1
[14:31] activelow in this case, the profile name was "adblock", however the directoy where this profile was stored: .adblock
[14:32] activelow whenever such a profile directory is created, it assigns a unique ID, retained indefinitely
[14:32] activelow did librewolf remove this ID?

[14:35] activelow somwhere i got some patch, to hack away all URLs from mozilla config files and point them to 127.0.0.1; dozens of them for update and protection and this and that
[14:36] activelow with the profile ID assigned for any new browser setup, this doesn't require any cookie
[14:37] activelow too, it may be irelevant if such a browser session hides behind proxy VPN, because the browser could be compromised locally and queried for the IP

[14:37] DaemonFC "I went back and checked, and it turns out I left a 30% tip ($9.50 on a $31 order)."
[14:37] DaemonFC In San Francisco, you make more than $30 an hour stocking shelves at the supermarket.
[14:38] DaemonFC So if true, he left a nice tip, for a normal state, but not San Francisco. The whole "delivery" model is broken, and so even if he's telling the truth it's not great to even use those apps.
[14:38] schestowitz [14:29] schestowitz: shall i review librewolf?
[14:38] schestowitz yes, it's better out of the box
[14:38] schestowitz in fact, by default it's very strict
[14:38] *CrystalMath (~coderain@4x8nmdnmvgeiy.irc) has joined #techrights
[14:39] activelow schestowitz: unrelated to security concerns. does this latest librewolf use rust-lang already?
[14:39] DaemonFC $9.50 is a lot more money in Indiana, where an apartment is $500 a month, than it is in San Francisco, where the looney tunes left has it at $3,000 for a cot in a garage with a composting bucket for a toilet.
[14:39] activelow if not i would clone the repo, and maybe merge some of my patches and scripts. but it isn't worth the effort for me, if it is rustified.
[14:40] DaemonFC Where a bagel and a cofee will run you $20.
[14:40] schestowitz wow
[14:40] DaemonFC So in San Francisco terms, he tipped them about $2 if he's even telling the truth.
[14:40] schestowitz must be some ambiance...
[14:40] DaemonFC Then he wanted his food and now!
[14:41] schestowitz we never ordered food
[14:41] schestowitz ever
[14:41] schestowitz to the home
[14:41] DaemonFC The market has been so distorted by the left there.
[14:41] DaemonFC I mean, actual hardcore commies have ruined that place.
[14:41] activelow anway, need to post another letter to court, explaining them, politely, they are a bunch of constitutional enemies and criminals
[14:41] DaemonFC So of course he'd live there.
[14:42] schestowitz activelow: I know them in the area of patents alone
[14:42] schestowitz where this allegation is partly correct
[14:42] DaemonFC The city passed universal healthcare which puts the city government on the hook to pay for medical bills if you have no insurance.
[14:42] schestowitz the courts there are like in Texa
[14:42] schestowitz operating like for-profit companies
[14:42] DaemonFC That alone has the taxes like whoa.
[14:42] schestowitz like a business, for business
[14:42] DaemonFC It's not "free" healthcare.
[14:43] DaemonFC It just puts a lot of people in agony so the bums who stub their toe can go to the ER.
[14:43] activelow schestowitz: it isn't any accusation, i got proof for this.
[14:43] DaemonFC Then since the city must pay, the hospitals charge the most they possibly can.
[14:43] schestowitz this is capitsalism
[14:43] schestowitz not communism
[14:43] schestowitz not "hippie"
[14:44] schestowitz also, you refer to centrists as "left"
[14:44] schestowitz the left isn't in SF
[14:44] schestowitz SF is for corporatists

[15:30] schestowitz Microsoft Edge for Linux Now Stable
[15:30] schestowitz LIKE
[15:30] schestowitz "
[15:30] schestowitz Another "Linux" news site..
[15:30] schestowitz promoting Microsoft..
[15:31] schestowitz Later these sites perish
[15:31] schestowitz and then wonder why?
[15:31] schestowitz clearly no understanding of their audience
[15:31] schestowitz as if people who use Linux go, YES!!! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED!!!
[15:31] psydruid I remember these sites were so popular 20 years ago
[15:31] schestowitz linux today and lxer
[15:31] psydruid and should be more popular now that GNU/Linux is getting used more and more
[15:31] schestowitz lxer is made by the person who had sold linux today
[15:31] psydruid so this doesn't add up
[15:31] schestowitz now those sites are fossils
[15:32] schestowitz psydruid: tuxmahcines is still growing
[15:32] schestowitz we don't post Microsoft junk there
[15:32] schestowitz we protect from misinformation
[15:32] schestowitz to the degree we can
[15:32] schestowitz no googlebombing there
[15:33] schestowitz tuxmachines is a latecomer, 2004
[15:33] psydruid all these new so-called "Linux" sites also go under as they start pushing Microsoft junk
[15:33] schestowitz Slashdot used to have the /. effect
[15:33] schestowitz as they called it

[17:03] techrights-news When looking at very old photos, sometimes I'm left with the impression the quality of textile was VASTLY better back then (than now). Now we make things cheaply in sweatshops, compensating for a lack of quality with quantities... and often with material like polyester.
[17:05] techrights-news With material used by the so-called 'fashion' so-called 'industry' today it's also hard to repair (e.g. shoes) and mend (cloth), maybe partly as part of the design. Not to make a pair of boots last 30 years... but 30 low-quality ones in the period of one decade. Worse yet, the computing industry chose a similar trajectory.

[19:16] psydruid and Tomorrow and every day after
[19:17] psydruid it is new to WSL users
[19:17] psydruid so worth repeating over and over
[19:17] psydruid because they have no clue and would forget otherwise
[19:17] schestowitz to be fair
[19:18] schestowitz they do not push WSL much
[19:18] schestowitz LXer does not either
[19:18] schestowitz maybe seldom
[19:21] psydruid I have to say that Microsoft has executed the sabotage plans perfectly
[19:21] psydruid their software is worse than ever, but their infiltration is top-notch
[19:21] schestowitz they have done it for ages though
[19:21] schestowitz it's easy to forget
[19:21] schestowitz it goes back more than 15 yeras
[19:21] schestowitz Novell was already one accomplishment
[19:21] schestowitz after Ximian
[19:22] schestowitz the Novell deal was partly de Icaza's idea
[19:22] psydruid I remember when you could use GNU/Linux without ever having to think about Microsoft technologies
[19:22] psydruid because you wanted to be far away from them
[19:22] schestowitz wait
[19:22] schestowitz that is not true
[19:22] schestowitz before that, we needed to cope with things like MSIE-only pages
[19:22] schestowitz and then we also had wine
[19:23] psydruid I didn't use wine back then
[19:23] schestowitz so gnu/linux already had to cope in some way with something like Microsoft Office files, Adobe Trash, WMV/A
[19:23] psydruid and I used Firefox
[19:23] schestowitz that came much later
[19:24] psydruid before Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox I used Netscape Navigator
[19:25] psydruid I was never much of an MSIE user
[19:25] schestowitz it has only one user

[21:51] DaemonFC schestowitz, Another article coming on Edge and Mozilla.
[21:51] DaemonFC I'm calling it EdgeDeflectorGate at this point.
[21:51] DaemonFC Pointing out that Windows "11" barely has any users yet and over 500,000 people had downloaded EdgeDeflector.
[21:53] DaemonFC "Given numbers like this, it's obvious why Microsoft is being a bag of dicks and heading it off at the pass. This would have been where Edge stalled out and bled to death. It only has 4% of users now, even with all of these ports."

[21:58] schestowitz not sure if you played the video about your article

[22:01] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-yewtu.be | How to install Moshi Monsters Rewritten Desktop on Elementary OS 6.0 - Invidious
[22:06] DaemonFC "While these other companies certainly have issues, neither of them are as nasty as Windows. Microsoft managed to water down the aftermath of US v. Microsoft so much that the consent decree eventually expired, and they said they'd behave."
[22:06] DaemonFC "This is much like the southern US states suing to overturn the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The law required them to get "pre-clearance" from the Department of Justice before enacting new election restrictions."
[22:06] DaemonFC "They went to the courts and said things had changed since 1965 and they would behave now, and then as soon as the law got struck down, they enacted hundreds of new voting restrictions, aimed largely at minorities and the poor, and criminalized black churches gathering votes from their congregants. "
[22:08] DaemonFC "It's simply revolting that all a bad actor has to do is promise to behave and then whether they're a convicted criminal monopolist or want to bring back the Jim Crow south, they're off the hook."
[22:12] DaemonFC "The court systems at the federal level are completely broken, obviously, and with so many Trump holdovers that he packed them with, I really doubt anything will happen to Microsoft there, so States need to take the initiative in enforcing their own laws, and citizens of the several States need to petition their State government to do so. "
[22:12] DaemonFC "In 2016, I filed an antitrust and consumer fraud complaint against Lenovo in the State of Illinois, and if anyone wants the emails, I'll release the damned emails. Nothing else I did got their attention. I posted about them locking GNU/Linux out of the Yoga 900-ISK2 series on Reddit /r/linux (full of Microsoft shills) and was banned and called deceptive, I went to the "tech news" naively, and was dismissed by Microsfot propagandists at ZDNet
[22:12] DaemonFC and elsewhere, which are even more a shitposting outfit now than they were then."
[22:12] DaemonFC "Nothing worked, until I complained in 16 pages of detail, to Lisa Madigan, the Illinois Attorney General, and THEN Lenovo quickly offered a BIOS repair for the affected models and not to do that again."
[22:15] DaemonFC "When they did post anything at all before I went to the Attorney General, it was some sort of PR blurb about how Lenovo designed the "360 degree hinge" for Windows 10 and "Linux couldn't possibly work" with, you know, a hinge. Only, it did. As soon as you flipped it over into tablet mode, GNOME activated the virtual keyboard, screen orientation worked, the touchscreen worked, the physical keyboard was disabled until you put it in laptop mode
[22:15] DaemonFC again."
[22:15] DaemonFC "Actually, Windows 10's on screen keyboard was a complete nightmare. If I tried using it in Firefox, nothing happened at all."
[22:16] DaemonFC "It only worked in Edge (Legacy). Dirty tricks even then!"
[22:16] DaemonFC "That laptop is blacklisted from running Windows "11". It runs Kubuntu 20.10 fine."

[22:19] DaemonFC "If people really want a Chromium browser, recommend Brave to them instead."
[22:21] DaemonFC "On a strictly technical level, it's hard to be much more terrible than Microsoft Internet Exploder. The reason "Edge" seems to crash less and get better security fixes is that Microsoft just brings all of those in from Chromium without doing much of anything. To the extent it's better, it's because they've gotten out of their own way there."
[22:21] schestowitz DaemonFC: I am writing something also
[22:25] DaemonFC " Brave has all of the same important rendering engine features, it's more secure, it's the most private major browser out there. The same 2020 study found that Microsoft Edge and Yandex (a Russian search engine) were tied for the worst browsers."

[23:13] DaemonFC I quoted his blog.

[23:32] schestowitz Lunduke with dumb tweets about COVID-19
[23:32] schestowitz he then locked his account, to limit the damage done
[23:33] DaemonFC Oh, I linked to "MELite" which was basically the same thing though.
[23:33] DaemonFC It gutted out Windows ME.

[23:34] DaemonFC One reason I never switched to Windows ME, only "backported" pieces of it, into my Windows 98, was Bruce Jensen never released an update for RoM that handled anything past Windows 98 SE.

[23:34] schestowitz yay, WSL
[23:34] schestowitz WeaSeL
[23:34] schestowitz they spam our brands this way
[23:34] schestowitz to promote WINDOWS
[23:35] DaemonFC But people who look at the GUI gallery will see Windows ME running with the Windows 95 shell and no IE.
[23:35] DaemonFC Very clean.
[23:35] DaemonFC I figured out how to dump the Windows ME icons into Windows 98 to get the same look and feel of MELite.
[23:36] DaemonFC After I gave up on Windows ME, I started copying parts of it into my Windows 98.

[23:38] schestowitz DaemonFC: you did not keep the Web pages
[23:38] schestowitz your old claims to fame
[23:38] schestowitz and Microsoft MVP IIRC
[23:38] schestowitz did they reward you for GUTTING windows?
[23:39] DaemonFC Nope.
[23:39] DaemonFC They cut me loose after I said I didn't like Windows ME on Epinions.

[23:40] schestowitz I like what you said about antitrust decoys
[23:40] schestowitz not sure if you noticed
[23:40] schestowitz the vista11 fake leak
[23:40] schestowitz was timed exactly the same as leaks about Microsoft "big tech" leaks
[23:40] schestowitz how they were behind all this
[23:40] schestowitz and also the fleeing of people from Gates Foundation
[23:40] schestowitz same time
[23:41] schestowitz so I think the leak [sic] of Vista 11 build was planned at the heat of the moment
[23:41] schestowitz to mitigate PR crises
[23:42] DaemonFC Oh, like "Let's roll!".
[23:42] DaemonFC It was on the back burner to soak up news if they ever needed it.
[23:43] techrights-news #linuxfoundation is NOT a body for "Open Source" but for #ProprietarySoftware companies in need of #openwashing PR. And if you don't believe me, check out the top sponsors and members of the Board. "Linux" became a token to them...
[23:44] schestowitz that is what PR depts do
[23:44] schestowitz it's a tactic
[23:44] schestowitz but good luck proving it was intentional
[23:44] schestowitz maybe someone will leak a memo
[23:44] schestowitz and then the PR dept will fake some leak to distract from the leak ;-)
[23:47] DaemonFC https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf
[23:47] DaemonFC schestowitz, They really go after Edge as bad for privacy.
[23:47] DaemonFC May do another article commenting on this.
[23:48] DaemonFC schestowitz, Their report was consistent with my observations of Edge on Windows 10.
[23:48] DaemonFC It makes a ton of connections to Microsoft ad servers.
[23:48] DaemonFC It feeds into a bunch of "new page" garbage, even if you turn that garbage off it still contacts the server every time you load Edge.
[23:49] DaemonFC There are persistent identifiers.
[23:49] DaemonFC Anything it puts in your most used sites tiles, it pings Microsoft to let them know you clicked on it.
[23:51] DaemonFC "Safari sends typed text both to a Google server clients1.google.com and to an Apple server api-glb-dub.smoot.apple.com. Data is initially sent to both every time a new letter is typed, although transmission to clients1.google.com stops shortly after the first word leith is complete. The result is 7 requests to clients1.google.com and 25 requests to api-glb-dub.smoot.apple.com, a total of 32 requests"
[23:53] DaemonFC 32 requests to Apple and Google because you typed 5 letters into Safari. "Private"
