| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-baronhk.wordpress.com | Today, Walmart Grocery Pickup gave my order to someone else, billed me, and then had to go pick it again while I waited in my car. Bonus: Lawyer says away from self-checkouts or you risk jail. – BaronHK's Rants | Jul 17 01:01 | |
| DaemonFC | I linked to a Yahoo News recap of it and some more thoughts. | Jul 17 01:01 |
| DaemonFC | Added: "Like I said before, I think going back to the 19th century approach of telling a store clerk what you want and having them go get it is probably the best. | Jul 17 01:04 |
| DaemonFC | (More jobs. Safer…. no legal liability because you were never in the store doing anything….so where would their case come from?) | Jul 17 01:04 |
| DaemonFC | When that system changed, people had complaints much like they did about self-checkout today. | Jul 17 01:04 |
| DaemonFC | “What I’m supposed to walk through here, find everything I need, and do unpaid work for the store?” | Jul 17 01:04 |
| DaemonFC | Everything old is new again." | Jul 17 01:04 |
| MinceR | "Lawyer says away from" seems wrong | Jul 17 01:05 |
| DaemonFC | Oh shit. | Jul 17 01:05 |
| DaemonFC | Let's see if this works. | Jul 17 01:05 |

| DaemonFC | BLM figured out how to make everyone lose sympathy for them. | Jul 17 01:06 |
| MinceR | it does indeed | Jul 17 01:06 |
| MinceR | i avoid self-checkouts because this industry can't even make vending machines work reliably | Jul 17 01:07 |
| MinceR | and those are comparatively easy | Jul 17 01:07 |
| DaemonFC | Come into my neighborhood. Threaten to burn my car. Vandalize and loot the store my spouse earns his paychecks at. | Jul 17 01:07 |
| DaemonFC | It's like, fuck off. | Jul 17 01:07 |
| DaemonFC | You know? | Jul 17 01:07 |
| DaemonFC | The riots managed to distract everyone away from police misconduct and put their focus on what might happen to them if the riots keep breaking out. | Jul 17 01:08 |
| *darwin has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jul 17 01:09 | |
| britney | DaemonFC, good job :) | Jul 17 01:09 |
| DaemonFC | Still tweaking it a bit. | Jul 17 01:10 |
| DaemonFC | Added why I really dislike BLM. | Jul 17 01:10 |
| DaemonFC | You still see BLM signs around here sometimes. | Jul 17 01:10 |
| DaemonFC | I thought about getting a T-Shirt that says "BURN LOOT MURDER" on it except I'd probably run into someone who attacked me for wearing it. | Jul 17 01:11 |
| DaemonFC | Which is not how I want to prove my point. | Jul 17 01:11 |
| britney | lol | Jul 17 01:11 |
| DaemonFC | Not just some faux-liberal wuss namby pamby like mjg59_ who would fart in my general direction. | Jul 17 01:11 |
| DaemonFC | I'm talking violent crime, obviously. | Jul 17 01:12 |
| britney | why u always picking on mjg59_ | Jul 17 01:14 |
| britney | theres probably a reason he says you spew nonsense, you're always saying stuff about him | Jul 17 01:14 |
| DaemonFC | i don't know. He seems to have actually gotten a few people to listen to him this past week. | Jul 17 01:15 |
| DaemonFC | By complaining about something less bad than what Lenovo did in 2016, when he took their side. | Jul 17 01:15 |
| britney | i started following him on twitter | Jul 17 01:16 |
| DaemonFC | Keeping an eye on an obvious lizard person? | Jul 17 01:17 |
| DaemonFC | I like the enthusiasm. | Jul 17 01:17 |
| britney | he could be a reptilian, who knows | Jul 17 01:17 |
| britney | i dont know what he looks like | Jul 17 01:17 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, he's obviously one of their lower ranking ones. | Jul 17 01:17 |
| britney | is there a picture of him online? | Jul 17 01:17 |
| britney | im good at spotting reptilians | Jul 17 01:17 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, on the Wikipedia page. Also, a reflection from some shitty Android tablet built into the wall of a hotel he was staying in. | Jul 17 01:18 |
| *GNUmoon2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Jul 17 01:18 | |
| DaemonFC | The article was about the shitty Android tablet though. | Jul 17 01:19 |
| DaemonFC | Not like there's any shortage of them. "Commercial Open Source" | Jul 17 01:19 |
| britney | its not a very good photo, i can't tell | Jul 17 01:20 |
| MinceR | "yer a lizard, harry!" | Jul 17 01:20 |
| britney | from his wikipedia picture, i'd have to say no | Jul 17 01:20 |
| britney | i would need to see a close up of his face to know 100% | Jul 17 01:21 |
| DaemonFC | 2017 Free Software Award went to Karen Sandler. Blecth. | Jul 17 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | For what? Nearly causing GNOME to file bankruptcy and make KDE the winner by default? | Jul 17 01:23 |
| DaemonFC | Someone should really patch out GNOME Online Accounts. | Jul 17 01:24 |
| DaemonFC | "Encourages the use of Non-Free Network Services" | Jul 17 01:24 |
| DaemonFC | <MinceR> "yer a lizard, harry!" | Jul 17 01:25 |
| DaemonFC | Lizard People got a vote for US Senate in Minnesota in 2008. | Jul 17 01:26 |
| DaemonFC | After going to a judge, it was determined that the vote would be given to Al Franken. | Jul 17 01:26 |
| MinceR | :) | Jul 17 01:26 |
| DaemonFC | The voter wrote in "Lizard People" as the Write-In box, then filled in the oval. | Jul 17 01:27 |
| DaemonFC | Then they put an X through the oval, and also filled in the oval for Al Franken. | Jul 17 01:27 |
| MinceR | lol | Jul 17 01:28 |

| britney | i can see it in his jawline, hes a reptile | Jul 17 01:28 |
| DaemonFC | "I'm good enough, I'm sssssssssssssmart enough, and Gossssssh Darn it....People like me!" | Jul 17 01:29 |
| MinceR | at least he isn't a snake person | Jul 17 01:29 |
| britney | the problem with his jawline tho is that it could also be neanderthaller | Jul 17 01:29 |
| psydroid2 | what exactly is a reptile? what makes someone a reptile? | Jul 17 01:29 |
| britney | pretty sure i'd say reptile | Jul 17 01:30 |

| britney | psydroid2, interdimensional shapeshifting reptilians, they're from a parallel dimension where dinosaurs didn't get wiped out | Jul 17 01:30 |
| XRevan86 | Is britney the lizard people fan? | Jul 17 01:30 |
| MinceR | dinosaurs didn't get wiped out in this dimension either | Jul 17 01:30 |
| MinceR | you just call them "birds" | Jul 17 01:30 |
| XRevan86 | I am losing track of nicknames. | Jul 17 01:31 |
| britney | some of them are birds | Jul 17 01:31 |
| DaemonFC | Others are Al Franken. | Jul 17 01:31 |
| britney | they're dinosaurs that evolved into humanoids | Jul 17 01:31 |
| DaemonFC | I loved that show! | Jul 17 01:31 |
| XRevan86 | Why would they evolve into humanoids? That's a very ape-like thing to do. | Jul 17 01:31 |
| psydroid2 | britney, sometimes I wonder if we aren't reptilians too | Jul 17 01:32 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-cerberusinvestigations.neocities.org | Cerberus Investigations - Who really runs the world? | Jul 17 01:32 | |
| XRevan86 | britney: Is that going to explain the biology of that claim? | Jul 17 01:32 |
| britney | no, im working on an article specifically on reptilians. ill let you know when its done | Jul 17 01:33 |
| britney | they have a base on the hollow moon too | Jul 17 01:33 |
| britney | either they are evolved dinosaurs, or they're from another planet | Jul 17 01:33 |
| XRevan86 | I'm so tired of anthropocentric thinking. Non-humans are not humans. | Jul 17 01:34 |
| britney | pretty sure John Dee first summoned them via a magick portal back in the 1500s tho | Jul 17 01:34 |
| XRevan86 | And just by that it's not plausible for non-humans to be humans. | Jul 17 01:34 |
| XRevan86 | Unless the person has that special religious belief that the human form is a perfect form, so everything naturally evolves that way. | Jul 17 01:35 |
| *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@kpdwurn3ajvak.irc) has joined #techrights | Jul 17 01:35 | |
| XRevan86 | But that only works when one tries to justify the cheapness of Star Trek's costumes. | Jul 17 01:35 |
| britney | i just finished watching a really good show, "Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura". I'd highly recommend episode 1 on HAARP | Jul 17 01:36 |
| britney | its a weather control thing | Jul 17 01:36 |
| XRevan86 | britney: "pretty sure John Dee first summoned them via a magick portal back in the 1500s tho" <- This seriously sounds like a joke. | Jul 17 01:36 |

| MinceR | could be like carcinization | Jul 17 01:38 |
| XRevan86 | britney: I'll tell you a secret: schizophrenia existed in the XVI century as well. | Jul 17 01:38 |
| MinceR | also, the bishounen line :> | Jul 17 01:38 |
| britney | I was pretty close to schitzophrenia - I suffered from psychosis a few years back. | Jul 17 01:39 |

| XRevan86 | MinceR: "could be like carcinization" <- Right, but the level of complexity is significantly different, and we don't see any evidence that the human form is actually optimal. | Jul 17 01:42 |
| MinceR | \ | Jul 17 01:43 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 17 01:43 |
| britney | carcinization is spot on | Jul 17 01:44 |
| XRevan86 | After all, the only species that are humanoid beside us are all our relatives, they're all primates. | Jul 17 01:45 |
| britney | XRevan86, what about the samsquanch | Jul 17 01:45 |
| XRevan86 | britney: And of course samsquanch, orcs, elfs, hobbits… | Jul 17 01:46 |

| schestowitz[TR] | corrupted by moneyed interest | Jul 17 08:03 |
| schestowitz[TR] | part of a pattern | Jul 17 08:03 |
| schestowitz[TR] | bkuhn is not malicious, just opportunistic | Jul 17 08:03 |
| matey | i agree with opportunistic | Jul 17 08:04 |
| schestowitz[TR] | Being opportunistic is a bad trait | Jul 17 08:04 |
| matey | i dont think it had anything to do with greed | Jul 17 08:04 |
| matey | or money | Jul 17 08:04 |
| matey | pride and ambition. entirely. | Jul 17 08:04 |
| matey | a lot of people wanted to be the next stallman, funnily enough | Jul 17 08:05 |
| matey | i dont think anyone wanted that more than kuhn | Jul 17 08:05 |
| matey | i dont have any idea how many "a lot" is either | Jul 17 08:05 |
| matey | because it was too many, and yet not enough | Jul 17 08:05 |
| matey | there were more people who wanted to REPLACE him than BE him | Jul 17 08:06 |
| matey | and open source is all about replacing free software | Jul 17 08:06 |
| schestowitz[TR] | I heard years ago bkhn was presumed the successor of rms | Jul 17 08:06 |
| matey | by pretending to be free software | Jul 17 08:06 |
| schestowitz[TR] | but I forgot who said it | Jul 17 08:06 |
| schestowitz[TR] | maybe 4 years ago | Jul 17 08:06 |
| matey | I heard years ago bkhn was presumed the successor of rms <- thats true, rms is a bigger sucker than i thought | Jul 17 08:07 |
| schestowitz[TR] | moglen is not young enough, I guess | Jul 17 08:07 |
| matey | moglen is too busy | Jul 17 08:07 |
| matey | some people really dont have time for the job of stallman | Jul 17 08:07 |
| matey | for example, when two people suggested i join the board | Jul 17 08:07 |
| matey | i immediately found someone else who was better for that | Jul 17 08:07 |
| matey | i wouldnt have stayed for a week, with all the bullshit going on. it would be a race to see if they got rid of me or i left | Jul 17 08:08 |
| matey | with the writing on the wall, id likely have won | Jul 17 08:08 |
| schestowitz[TR] | last night ei explained to someone rms is a person, gnu and fsf are brands | Jul 17 08:08 |
| matey | signing up to a board position for a week or less is hardly better than a scam | Jul 17 08:08 |
| schestowitz[TR] | some people who entered gnu, fsf, or both doi not agree with rmsa | Jul 17 08:09 |
| schestowitz[TR] | some go as far as trying to oust him, e.g. mlee | Jul 17 08:09 |
| schestowitz[TR] | *mattl | Jul 17 08:09 |
| matey | gnu is a brand but its more than that too | Jul 17 08:09 |
| matey | a lot of brands stand for a fiction | Jul 17 08:09 |
| matey | gnu stood for a reality | Jul 17 08:09 |
| matey | but now it is definitely a fiction | Jul 17 08:09 |
| matey | one of the major things i butted heads with oliva on is the idea that gnu and the fsf are separate | Jul 17 08:09 |
| matey | theyre coinjoined twins | Jul 17 08:10 |
| matey | sometimes you can separate them without killing one | Jul 17 08:10 |
| matey | with gnu and fsf you cant | Jul 17 08:10 |
| matey | that whole theme was bs | Jul 17 08:10 |
| matey | maybe there was a noble reason for it, but it was still bs | Jul 17 08:10 |
| matey | and the fsf has leaned much too heavily on bs to justify taking donations | Jul 17 08:10 |
| matey | theyre a scam like osi at this point | Jul 17 08:10 |
| matey | a front group, with so much conviction it swears otherwise | Jul 17 08:11 |
| matey | being in denial about your own identity doesnt make it not denial | Jul 17 08:11 |
| matey | people can and do bullshit themselves into thinking theyre doing something for a noble cause | Jul 17 08:12 |
| matey | how else would wars get so big and so brutal? | Jul 17 08:13 |
| matey | even in the 1700s, wars were a product that was sold to buy something else than what it said on the tin | Jul 17 08:13 |
| matey | even the american revolution wasnt entirely what they said it was about | Jul 17 08:14 |
| matey | though in terms of results, you cant say it delivered nothing | Jul 17 08:14 |
| matey | i mean if youre indigenous maybe you can | Jul 17 08:15 |

| matey | and if youre black its fucking complicated | Jul 17 08:16 |
| matey | either way, a lot of the wildest contridictions between what we all thought and what we now know | Jul 17 08:17 |
| matey | are explained REALLY WELL by understanding that the american revolution, for example-- really wasnt entirely on the level in the first place | Jul 17 08:17 |
| matey | then the discrepency between "what was fought for" and what was won isnt as incredible | Jul 17 08:17 |
| matey | it makes a lot more sense when you realise that the revolution itself was (in part) bullshit and "go fight for rich landowners please | Jul 17 08:18 |
| matey | same as the wars today | Jul 17 08:18 |
| matey | go fight for the economy that favours the rich and fucks the poor, please | Jul 17 08:18 |
| matey | we will convince you its noble | Jul 17 08:18 |
| matey | "I'm ashamed to be surrounded by people calling themselves liberal who are, in my opinion, spitting on the graves of brave American soldiers who gave their life to fight a war that wasn't theirs... in a country they've never been to... simply to liberate the people therein"-- gene simmons | Jul 17 08:19 |
| matey | fucking. idiot. | Jul 17 08:19 |
| matey | it was more like vietnam than any sort of "liberation" | Jul 17 08:20 |
| matey | people like that should go fight instead of being warhawks | Jul 17 08:21 |
| matey | see what theyre so in favour of up close | Jul 17 08:21 |
| matey | so he was too old. great, makes him more expendable. | Jul 17 08:21 |
| matey | they can graft his tongue onto another bass player in a cheese grater costume | Jul 17 08:21 |
| matey | oh people arent expendable? | Jul 17 08:22 |
| matey | maybe thats why so many people are against illegal wars, you twat | Jul 17 08:22 |
| matey | but hes a pixel on a screen full of industrial bs | Jul 17 08:22 |
| matey | carlin was right, the #1 currency of earth is bullshit | Jul 17 08:23 |
| matey | its mightier than the dollar | Jul 17 08:23 |
| matey | more ambitious than the tiger economy | Jul 17 08:23 |
| matey | mincer says we will die before the bullshit economy does | Jul 17 08:24 |
| matey | maybe | Jul 17 08:24 |
| matey | i dont think its foolish to believe a little bit in the oppositiion | Jul 17 08:24 |
| matey | on the one hand, theyve been fighting for AGES | Jul 17 08:24 |
| matey | fucked that point up | Jul 17 08:24 |
| matey | i meant: on the one hand, theyve been losing the war for AGES | Jul 17 08:24 |
| matey | on the other, theyre still fighting, ages later | Jul 17 08:25 |
| matey | how do you call it with something like that? | Jul 17 08:25 |
| matey | is it a losing battle? or just a very long one | Jul 17 08:25 |
| matey | i would say history is on mincers side of course | Jul 17 08:26 |
| matey | recent history-- the past few thousand years | Jul 17 08:26 |
| matey | but i dont think its a fair trial | Jul 17 08:26 |
| matey | we killed everyone who did things differently | Jul 17 08:26 |
| matey | so pretending this is how everyone does things is intellectually dishonest, if not intellectually psychopathic | Jul 17 08:26 |
| matey | did we win? again, the other side is still fighting | Jul 17 08:27 |
| matey | weve never managed to stop them | Jul 17 08:28 |
| matey | maybe theyll win | Jul 17 08:28 |

| matey | In 2007, Simmons openly spoke out against music piracy, and called for file-sharers to be sued.[59] A year later, he threatened further lawsuits, and to withhold new recordings, if file-sharing continued. | Jul 17 08:33 |
| matey | im sure he never stole a riff | Jul 17 08:34 |
| matey | good musicians never do | Jul 17 08:34 |
| matey | In September 2014, Simmons said "The death of rock was not a natural death. Rock did not die of old age. It was murdered." Simmons blames file sharing and that no one values music "enough to pay you for it" | Jul 17 08:34 |
| matey | thats funny | Jul 17 08:34 |
| matey | i blame corporate whores like gene simmons for the death of rock | Jul 17 08:35 |
| matey | rock was about rebellion | Jul 17 08:35 |
| matey | once the only thing you stand for is the labels and money, you have no soul | Jul 17 08:35 |
| matey | might as well smash your guitar collection then | Jul 17 08:35 |
| matey | gene simmons of course, gives to charity | Jul 17 08:35 |
| matey | bill gates IS a fucking charity | Jul 17 08:35 |
| matey | it means not a damned thing | Jul 17 08:35 |
| matey | it doesnt change the fact that rock has nothing left to sell out to | Jul 17 08:36 |
| matey | so thats what killed rock | Jul 17 08:36 |
| matey | constantly whittling itself down from an art and a message to a commodity | Jul 17 08:36 |
| matey | what a stupid cunt of a person | Jul 17 08:36 |
| schestowitz[TR] | pervets like him killed rock | Jul 17 08:36 |
| schestowitz[TR] | groupies and perverts | Jul 17 08:37 |
| schestowitz[TR] | and bad music, too | Jul 17 08:37 |
| schestowitz[TR] | awful music [sic] | Jul 17 08:37 |
| matey | In August 2014, Simmons made comments in an interview with Songfacts.com that seemed to openly encourage people with depression to kill themselves. The comments drew criticism from Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe who had suffered from depression in the past. | Jul 17 08:37 |
| matey | i would encourage him to get clinically depressed. | Jul 17 08:37 |
| matey | Simmons later clarified his comments and apologized for the incident. | Jul 17 08:37 |
| matey | bahaha On November 16, 2017, Simmons made an appearance on Fox & Friends to promote a new book, but shortly afterward, he burst into a staff meeting uninvited, unbuttoning his shirt and telling jokes. The next day, on November 17, Fox News announced that Simmons was banned for life from their program. | Jul 17 08:38 |
| matey | its hilarious either way, but i think fox overeacted a bit | Jul 17 08:38 |
| matey | if it had been his pants, i would understand | Jul 17 08:39 |
| schestowitz[TR] | he had competition from ballmer | Jul 17 08:39 |
| schestowitz[TR] | did he throw a chair tool? | Jul 17 08:40 |
| schestowitz[TR] | or just the tongue thing? | Jul 17 08:40 |
| matey | if gene simmons threw a chair, it would be on fire and it would smash into pieces on impact | Jul 17 08:40 |
| matey | ballmers got nothing on him. except the clippers and more money than people can really comprehend | Jul 17 08:40 |

| matey | they came out with all the same campaigns against it | Jul 17 08:54 |
| matey | but tape copying is how people became famous | Jul 17 08:54 |
| matey | and everyone did it | Jul 17 08:54 |
| matey | and musicians get most of the money from the fucking concert ticket sales | Jul 17 08:54 |
| matey | so lets blame fans for doing what not only everyone does, but they always have done, including the hypocrites who pretend they didnt | Jul 17 08:55 |
| matey | there used to be a website that covered what different bands said about file sharers | Jul 17 08:55 |
| matey | def leppard was pretty cool | Jul 17 08:55 |
| matey | they said they had mixed feelings-- sure they had concerns, but on the other hand... | Jul 17 08:56 |
| matey | they said they saw young people at their concerts, and they know the only reason they were there is they got their music somehow, probably not at a store | Jul 17 08:56 |

| matey | lieplanet wanted (and got) loyalty oaths | Jul 17 09:56 |
| matey | stallman was dead against them | Jul 17 09:56 |

| DaemonFC | Terrible software that doesn't even matter if it is open source? | Jul 17 11:26 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft puts out some open source software, but it usually only does what it's supposed to if it runs on Windows or is a client for Windows somehow. | Jul 17 11:26 |
| DaemonFC | They don't produce anything that's legitimately useful without their proprietary software, so whether that component/program is open source fails to matter. | Jul 17 11:27 |
| schestowitz[TR] | aye | Jul 17 11:33 |
| psydroid2 | I wasn't talking about Microsoft, but I consider their open source software mainly abandonware or teaseware | Jul 17 11:33 |
| psydroid2 | I find that quite a bit of free software is so terrible and ends up consuming so much memory, that it's simply unusable | Jul 17 11:34 |
| DaemonFC | Windows Terminal is "open source". | Jul 17 11:35 |
| psydroid2 | sort of like enemies from within | Jul 17 11:35 |
| DaemonFC | They "open sourced" a "core Powershell" or something. | Jul 17 11:35 |
| DaemonFC | Useful shells on a POSIX system are at least POSIX-like shells. Whether or not they conform entirely or not. | Jul 17 11:39 |
| DaemonFC | Many don't or just have a POSIX-Mode in case it's important at that moment, but are "close". | Jul 17 11:39 |

| DaemonFC | They just allow WSL to get at it on Windows. | Jul 17 11:41 |
| psydroid2 | and then Microsoft and AMD make him buy a Lenovo laptop with an AMD chip with his own money because AMD only wants their hardware to be tested and benchmarked on Windows | Jul 17 11:42 |
| DaemonFC | Don't they send it for free and pay him to "review" it? | Jul 17 11:42 |
| psydroid2 | I stopped reading those DirectX articles | Jul 17 11:42 |
| DaemonFC | It's another ZDNet at this point. | Jul 17 11:42 |
| psydroid2 | no, he mentioned that in one of his recent "articles" | Jul 17 11:43 |
| psydroid2 | I think it's hilarious and sad at the same time | Jul 17 11:43 |
| DaemonFC | Benchmarking Windows is pretty dumb. | Jul 17 11:43 |
| DaemonFC | Like Intel, they can cheat on the benchmarks. | Jul 17 11:43 |
| psydroid2 | he feels he has to sell out and then even selling out isn't good enough to get free hardware even for "review" purposes | Jul 17 11:44 |
| DaemonFC | It's just like VW diesel engines. | Jul 17 11:44 |
| DaemonFC | Recognize a smog test and go into "smog test" mode. | Jul 17 11:44 |
| DaemonFC | Intel has been caught doing it repeatedly, like Nvidia has. | Jul 17 11:44 |
| psydroid2 | When I look at Geekbench results to see how chips perform relatively to each other I just ignore the Windows results, because they are usually lower and aren't very consistent | Jul 17 11:46 |
| psydroid2 | relative* | Jul 17 11:46 |
| DaemonFC | Well, Windows could recognize benchmark apps and change how it works until they close. | Jul 17 11:47 |

| DaemonFC | Yeah, I had to do some installations of Windows 98 with the undocumented /nm switch to get it to install. | Jul 17 12:07 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft jacked up the requirements because of the bloat they added relating to the antitrust trial and Internet Explorer, and other crap. | Jul 17 12:08 |

| psydroid2 | yes, I noticed that | Jul 17 12:10 |
| DaemonFC | It uses at least 600 MB more just from those! | Jul 17 12:10 |
| psydroid2 | there was this Windows 10 1809 release that was so terrible that it just sat like a duck in a VirtualBox VM | Jul 17 12:10 |
| DaemonFC | Yes, they forced unwanted major OS updates on you twice a year whether you wanted it or not. | Jul 17 12:11 |
| DaemonFC | They changed the way Windows worked so that there's just no way to target "Windows 10" with an application and expect consistent behavior. | Jul 17 12:12 |
| psydroid2 | at this point even the terrible Windows 11 feels faster than the latest Windows 10 | Jul 17 12:12 |

| psydroid2 | does that mean that you could target a build of Windows 10 and then it would stop working on a newer build? | Jul 17 12:13 |

| DaemonFC | Microsoft changed the XAUDIO2 API, recently. | Jul 17 12:14 |
| psydroid2 | I've read that many binaries targetting older releases of Windows don't work on Windows 10 anymore, but do work on WINE | Jul 17 12:15 |
| DaemonFC | They removed a bunch of CLSIDs that they thought nothing was using by sticking "telemetry" probes on people's computers to see if they ran anything that used them. | Jul 17 12:15 |
| DaemonFC | That's technically a breaking change, but they used their spyware to determine if any Windows user on the planet ran a program that used those CLSIDs and over 6 months, they didn't get any feedback that there was a program launched that requested them. | Jul 17 12:16 |
| DaemonFC | The issue is that unless you change every piece of documentation, a developer running an older version of Windows could actually use it like that and push an update out. | Jul 17 12:16 |

| DaemonFC | And now you have something that works on his system but then he breaks it with an update, and then has to recall the update when the complaints that there's no sound come pouring in. | Jul 17 12:17 |
| psydroid2 | "XAudio2 is primarily intended for developing high performance audio engines for games." | Jul 17 12:17 |
| psydroid2 | "Compared to WASAPI, XAudio2 requires only a minimum amount of code even for complex audio solutions. Compared to the Media Foundation engine, XAudio2 is a low-level, low-latency C++ API that is designed for use in games." | Jul 17 12:17 |
| DaemonFC | For all of the messes Microsoft never cleans up, removing some CLSIDs that take up basically no space was really weird. | Jul 17 12:17 |
| psydroid2 | Do they not care about professional audio? | Jul 17 12:18 |
| DaemonFC | XAUDIO2 is basically there to force Windows games to use WMA and depend on Microsoft patents and being harder to port. | Jul 17 12:18 |

| schestowitz[TR] | psydroid2: they did it to add c# | Jul 17 12:23 |
| DaemonFC | Suddenly a game that already ran fine from 2016 needs Windows APIs that didn't exist until 2019 or 2020. | Jul 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz[TR] | also, godot talks me down for saying get off github | Jul 17 12:23 |

| schestowitz[TR] | microsofgt recently 'donated' to gnome | Jul 17 12:23 |
| DaemonFC | They recompiled it, broke all of the add-ons and mods that fans made and gave away for free.....and introduced APIs that make it depend on Windows 10 from 2019, and a "mod store" where you have to buy mods. | Jul 17 12:24 |

| psydroid2 | DaemonFC, is this strategy working, though? I think they only started doing this because they noticed they're bleeding users left and right and now they'll do anything to keep Windows relevant. | Jul 17 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | I doubt it. | Jul 17 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | Most people know how to bittorrent the old binaries that worked right. | Jul 17 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | And wine caught up with the XAUDIO2 stuff recently. | Jul 17 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | If anything, they're probably just angering their customers and causing more piracy. | Jul 17 12:26 |
| DaemonFC | The second time they rebuilt Skyrim was a total flop. | Jul 17 12:26 |
| DaemonFC | They've had almost no sales of that version. | Jul 17 12:26 |
| DaemonFC | There's just too many good mods out there that already had to be rebuilt once. | Jul 17 12:27 |
| DaemonFC | There's a fan-made patch that adds more of a backstory and dialog for many characters, and more ways to interact with them. Microsoft doesn't really want people to go around expanding "their" games. | Jul 17 12:28 |
| DaemonFC | Because fans have done a much better job than Microsoft has since they bought Bethesda. | Jul 17 12:28 |

| matey | rust is inherently unstable by design, and as such is a web/clownapi posing as a programming language | Jul 17 16:43 |
| matey | and linux is a runaway train that its original author/designer doesnt even understand | Jul 17 16:44 |

| matey | but thats not their intentions at all | Jul 17 16:44 |
| schestowitz[TR] | businesses don't; care for it | Jul 17 16:44 |
| schestowitz[TR] | they are all selfish | Jul 17 16:44 |
| schestowitz[TR] | they shove their shit into it | Jul 17 16:45 |
| matey | and they dont want their shit removed | Jul 17 16:45 |
| matey | they want lockin | Jul 17 16:45 |
| matey | the other category of unforkability is bloat | Jul 17 16:45 |
| schestowitz[TR] | like Plastic | Jul 17 16:45 |
| matey | because bloat can pretty much do 90% of what deliberate lockin does | Jul 17 16:46 |
| schestowitz[TR] | keeping the overall kernel tidy is not in their interest | Jul 17 16:46 |
| matey | bloat is like what oil companies do to the ocean | Jul 17 16:46 |

| schestowitz[TR] | zemlin... tlwel him | Jul 17 16:47 |
| schestowitz[TR] | *tell | Jul 17 16:47 |
| matey | torvalds is like the guy who joined the mafia then tries to get out when it gets too messy | Jul 17 16:47 |
| matey | he knew it was the mafia, he did the blood oaths, but he had SOME integrity, and that didnt fit | Jul 17 16:47 |
| matey | he had maybe as much integrity as a shill could have... | Jul 17 16:47 |
| matey | but hes been a shill since open source was a thing | Jul 17 16:48 |
| matey | and open source eats their own | Jul 17 16:48 |
| matey | hes been used all his life | Jul 17 16:49 |
| matey | but he gave himself up to be used. thats what shilling is. | Jul 17 16:49 |
| matey | its like he signed a deal with the devil-- but then tried to say "no" when he came to collect | Jul 17 16:49 |
| matey | thats not how it works, you know | Jul 17 16:49 |
| matey | the only "no" that counts is dont sign | Jul 17 16:50 |
| matey | he could have renounced it, but he tried to keep the devil and reject the deal | Jul 17 16:50 |
| matey | thats not how it works | Jul 17 16:50 |
| matey | some software is so hopelessly bloated, that no one will ever fork it (even if they want to enough to give it a good try) | Jul 17 16:51 |
| matey | maybe trinity is an example of this. as i said it remains to be seen, but i have my suspicions | Jul 17 16:52 |
| matey | this is why its a grey area: time will tell | Jul 17 16:52 |
| XRevan86 | https://nitter.net/JuliaDavisNews/status/1548692871678664710 | Jul 17 16:52 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-nitter.net | Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews): "Meanwhile on Russian state TV: Apti Alaudinov, the commander of Ramzan Kadyrov's Chechen detachment "Akhmat," tells state TV host Olga Skabeeva that Russian forces in Ukraine are fighting "holy war" against the LGBT & the Antichrist. He hopes Russia will soon face off with NATO."|nitter | Jul 17 16:52 | |
| matey | software thats truly unforkable is de facto non-free | Jul 17 16:52 |
| matey | rms doesnt believe this exists, even when its right in front of him | Jul 17 16:53 |
| matey | this is something hes simply wrong about | Jul 17 16:53 |
| matey | freedom 4 (the right to remove the software) stands against this. freedom 4 was a de facto freedom. you could even call it freedom -1 | Jul 17 16:53 |
| matey | without the freedom to remove the software, the other freedoms are threatened | Jul 17 16:54 |
| matey | you cant use the software for any purpose | Jul 17 16:55 |
| matey | you cant study how the software works-- at least linus cant study how linux works | Jul 17 16:55 |
| matey | you cant fork the software, so freedom 3 is out | Jul 17 16:55 |
| matey | and as for verbatim copies, bloat certainly places limits on that and lockin makes it a more demanding task because | Jul 17 16:56 |
| matey | for example, with rust how many verbatim copies do you need to have? | Jul 17 16:56 |
| matey | with the right to make copies this is kind of a stretch | Jul 17 16:56 |
| matey | but still notably affected imo | Jul 17 16:56 |
| matey | if you cant remove the software, the whole premise of "controlling your computing" really becomes a farce | Jul 17 16:57 |
| matey | stallman and the entire fsf FUCKED UP royally | Jul 17 16:57 |

| matey | the fsf COMPLETLY fucked up | Jul 17 17:00 |
| matey | 10 years running | Jul 17 17:00 |
| matey | blew the entire mission of free software | Jul 17 17:00 |
| matey | (they had plenty of help) | Jul 17 17:00 |
| matey | result: gnu will die | Jul 17 17:00 |
| matey | i think maybe parts of it will be forked | Jul 17 17:00 |
| *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights | Jul 17 17:00 | |
| matey | bbut most of it wont be | Jul 17 17:00 |
| matey | most gnu forks would be like trinity at best | Jul 17 17:01 |
| matey | something makes gnu unmaintainable | Jul 17 17:01 |
| matey | like linux, it drifts towards the same problem that systemd has | Jul 17 17:02 |
| matey | it becomes a dumping ground | Jul 17 17:02 |
| *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights | Jul 17 17:02 | |
| matey | when people realise that the REAL magic of gnu was the license paired with de facto freedom 4 | Jul 17 17:02 |
| matey | and that gnu coded itself right out of freedom 4 | Jul 17 17:02 |
| matey | all theyre going to do is fork other things that do the same job | Jul 17 17:03 |
| matey | this is sort of tragic because gnu has incredible relevance to the movement | Jul 17 17:03 |
| matey | its loss is the movements loss | Jul 17 17:03 |
| matey | but the movement has already lost gnu, it doesnt even know why | Jul 17 17:04 |
| matey | rejecting freedom 4-- not officially, but in practice | Jul 17 17:04 |
| matey | is the error in theory that will be the death of gnu | Jul 17 17:04 |
| matey | the fsd is a theory, like evolution (in that it tries to explain something that definitely happens) | Jul 17 17:05 |
| matey | evolution is a process. darwinism is an explanation of that process | Jul 17 17:05 |
| matey | without freedom 4, the fsd is like lamarkianism | Jul 17 17:06 |
| matey | it only leads to strategies that will fail (and have failed) | Jul 17 17:07 |
| matey | when you get science wrong, the application will (ultimately) be wrong | Jul 17 17:07 |
| matey | the 4 freedoms are the point, of course-- we want them, we need them. without them its non-free | Jul 17 17:08 |
| matey | its just that they rest on, depend on, a de facto freedom that stallman just doesnt get | Jul 17 17:08 |
| matey | a freedom that was always there. but you know what happens to freedom thats neglected and not used | Jul 17 17:08 |
| matey | it dies | Jul 17 17:08 |
| matey | and if a de facto freedom the other 4 depended on dies | Jul 17 17:09 |
| matey | obviously, they die with it | Jul 17 17:09 |
| matey | thats the non-future of gnu | Jul 17 17:09 |
| matey | and the fsf is already dead | Jul 17 17:09 |
| MinceR | which is freedom 4? | Jul 17 17:10 |
| matey | openbsd is forkable, at least. its the best example i know, but it cant be the only example | Jul 17 17:10 |
| matey | <MinceR> which is freedom 4? http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/replace-freedom.png | Jul 17 17:11 |
| matey | "replace-- the freedom to NOT run the software" | Jul 17 17:12 |
| matey | systemd is the best example of lacking freedom 4, but everything else ive said this hour is about other examples | Jul 17 17:13 |
| matey | rust and ultimately linux are most likely examples of the same | Jul 17 17:13 |

| schestowitz[TR] | <matey> its my opinion (obviously) that if the fsf had understood this, and acted | Jul 17 17:16 |
| schestowitz[TR] | fsf very inactive this year | Jul 17 17:16 |
| matey | its just that without that additional understanding, sometimes newtonian physics dont quite work (at some levesl) and we dont know why | Jul 17 17:16 |
| matey | <schestowitz[TR]> fsf very inactive this year <- theyre done | Jul 17 17:16 |
| matey | once an organisation stops standing for its cause and switches over entirely to "awareness" | Jul 17 17:16 |

| matey | militarising the internet is like religiousising jesus | Jul 17 17:33 |
| matey | if you want to win this, youll have to take over the military | Jul 17 17:33 |
| matey | short of that, youll have to be like de raadt | Jul 17 17:33 |
| matey | note that de raadt succeeded in that where stallman failed | Jul 17 17:34 |
| matey | im not saying de raadt is a better person, or a stronger activist | Jul 17 17:34 |
| matey | only that he was successful | Jul 17 17:34 |
| matey | i dont think of de raadt as an activist really | Jul 17 17:34 |
| schestowitz[TR] | is he an activist? | Jul 17 17:34 |
| matey | no | Jul 17 17:34 |
| matey | but he shows a lot of integrity | Jul 17 17:34 |
| schestowitz[TR] | you beat me to it | Jul 17 17:34 |
| matey | and integrity without activism can trump activism without integrity | Jul 17 17:35 |
| matey | i think stallman has at least as much integrity as de raadt | Jul 17 17:35 |
| matey | though in fairness-- stallman was never fair to de raadt | Jul 17 17:35 |
| matey | and de raadt... was pretty vicious in his self-defence | Jul 17 17:36 |
| matey | to the point where i thought he was simply an arsehole | Jul 17 17:36 |
| matey | but i only had one half of the story | Jul 17 17:36 |
| matey | if present me told past me id be an openbsd fan, id be completely shocked | Jul 17 17:36 |
| matey | but past me only had half of the story | Jul 17 17:36 |
| matey | openbsd isnt forkable because de raadt is an activist | Jul 17 17:37 |
| matey | openbsd is forkable because its freely licensed and well designed | Jul 17 17:38 |
| matey | which gets back to what psydruid was saying | Jul 17 17:38 |
| matey | only i think poorly designed software can be forked sometimes | Jul 17 17:38 |
| matey | it depends imo on what kind of poor design | Jul 17 17:38 |

| matey | in the way that funtoo is related to other things | Jul 17 17:41 |

| matey | i didnt mention it when i was talking about trinity | Jul 17 17:48 |
| matey | trinity is a grey area | Jul 17 17:49 |
| matey | maybe the edge of whats forkable | Jul 17 17:49 |
| matey | mate... might have better odds | Jul 17 17:49 |
| matey | i dont hate gnome 2 | Jul 17 17:49 |
| XRevan86 | Trinity is stuck on TQt3. | Jul 17 17:49 |

| matey | <XRevan86> Trinity is stuck on TQt3 <- that is actually the point | Jul 17 17:49 |
| schestowitz[TR] | matey: you will like mate | Jul 17 17:49 |
| XRevan86 | Yes, in that Trinity is unique. | Jul 17 17:49 |
| matey | thats funny | Jul 17 17:49 |
| matey | but i used mate | Jul 17 17:49 |
| schestowitz[TR] | rianne tried it | Jul 17 17:50 |
| matey | and mate is a perfectly reasonable replacement of gnome 2 of course | Jul 17 17:50 |

| matey | if i was going to use a github-based desktop | Jul 17 17:50 |

| matey | but i liked mate-- even more, i like what mate was trying to do | Jul 17 17:50 |
| matey | make it so that people didnt have to get roped into gnome 3 | Jul 17 17:51 |

| matey | the slurpee was invented because a soda fountain was broken | Jul 17 18:30 |
| matey | his soda fountain broke, leaving Knedlik without cold drinks in the Kansas heat. So he sent away for bottles of soda and plunged them into the frosty depths of his freezer to chill for his thirsty customers. When he popped the lids, the sodas instantly turned slushy | Jul 17 18:31 |
| matey | and it came from dairy queen | Jul 17 18:32 |
| schestowitz[TR] | weird story | Jul 17 18:33 |
| matey | In 1965, the ICEE craze got the attention of 7-Eleven stores who purchased some of the machines, renaming their frosty brew Slurpee | Jul 17 18:34 |
| matey | i did not know they came from the same inventor. | Jul 17 18:34 |
| matey | ive had an icee. i did not know slurpees originated with icee | Jul 17 18:34 |
| matey | i didnt know they were connected to dairy queen | Jul 17 18:35 |

| matey | but again, it was an accident | Jul 17 18:35 |
| schestowitz[TR] | so they say | Jul 17 18:35 |
| matey | they sold sodas. the machine broke | Jul 17 18:35 |
| matey | they stuck cans in a freezer | Jul 17 18:36 |
| schestowitz[TR] | sounds llike an urban legand | Jul 17 18:36 |
| matey | then they set out to imitate the effect | Jul 17 18:36 |
| schestowitz[TR] | it's not like a hard inven tion to come by | Jul 17 18:36 |
| matey | no it was literally an accident | Jul 17 18:36 |
| schestowitz[TR] | I reckon some humans tens off thousanmds of years ago could figure out a way | Jul 17 18:36 |

| matey | As the pain does not last long, there is no point in reaching for the painkillers as the sensation will have passed by the time the drugs kick in. The best thing to do is to spit out the offending food (if you’re in casual company!) and try to warm the roof of your mouth as quickly as possible – either by pressing your tongue against your palate, or by taking a sip of a warm drink. | Jul 17 18:42 |
| matey | really just a few sips of water (not iced) usually does it | Jul 17 18:43 |
| matey | you dont have to spit anything out | Jul 17 18:43 |
| matey | defragging https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/does-the-brain-eat-itself/ | Jul 17 18:44 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.sciencefocus.com | Yes, your brain is eating itself all the time. Here's why | BBC Science Focus Magazine | Jul 17 18:44 | |
| matey | technically this means we are all zombies | Jul 17 18:45 |
| matey | not just jesus | Jul 17 18:45 |
| matey | Although not identifying direct causal links, an Imperial College London survey of over 250,000 people found that those who read a lot scored more highly for verbal intelligence and gamers scored more highly for working memory. | Jul 17 18:46 |

| DaemonFC | <matey> frozen soda in a freezer is a BITCH to clean | Jul 17 19:21 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, I accidentally blew up a can of diet pepsi before we moved out of Rogers Park where that insane landlord was fucking with me every day and breaking the law and raising our rent constantly by ridiculous amounts. | Jul 17 19:22 |
| DaemonFC | She took a picture of it while she was blowing up my phone at 2-3 AM (and she had entered our apartment while we were still paid up, to do that!) and threatened that she would "Add cleaning fees to our bill.". | Jul 17 19:23 |
| DaemonFC | I told her we weren't quite finished and the place would be clean, and that I planned to complain to the city about her illegal entry into the unit and several other things and go to the police because telephone harassment is illegal, if she continued to bother us. | Jul 17 19:24 |
| DaemonFC | I said, "I know your husband is a lawyer. If you want him representing you in a criminal trial for harassment then you can keep going.". | Jul 17 19:24 |
| DaemonFC | But exploded soft drinks are not difficult if the refrigerator is empty anyway. | Jul 17 19:25 |
| DaemonFC | Just unplug it and prop the door and when it reaches room temperature, you just wipe it up. | Jul 17 19:25 |
| DaemonFC | That's why I hadn't cleaned it up when it happened. | Jul 17 19:25 |
| DaemonFC | I didn't want to chisel frozen pepsi off the freezer and we were moving in two weeks anyway. | Jul 17 19:26 |
| DaemonFC | Easier to just deal with it then. | Jul 17 19:26 |

| DaemonFC | Mr. GULAG never had a problem working for a company that helped Trump kill kids in cages. | Jul 17 19:27 |
| DaemonFC | Google's trying to make pregnant women feel safer about using it. | Jul 17 19:28 |
| DaemonFC | It basically admits "OK, so if you use Google we have a lot of information that could send you to prison. But....trust us, we won't log your visits to abortion clinics!". | Jul 17 19:28 |
| DaemonFC | Well, that's one thing, and maybe they will and maybe they won't, but it hardly matters. | Jul 17 19:28 |
| DaemonFC | The average Android app from the Play store has about 20 tracking libraries and they all have GPS access. | Jul 17 19:29 |
| DaemonFC | So Ken Paxton goes and pays one of them and bypasses the courts and hands that data to the local prosecutor instead. | Jul 17 19:29 |
| DaemonFC | mjg59_ helped a company that will soon put women in prison for abortions. | Jul 17 19:29 |
| DaemonFC | He's really really big on the whole sjw thing, you know. | Jul 17 19:29 |
| DaemonFC | Maybe Google won't do it directly, but their platform is made to leak data, so it will. | Jul 17 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | If you go out of state for an abortion, you need to leave your phone at home. | Jul 17 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | And you need to not use Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc to look for info about clinics or how to get the abortion pill or something, because then they'll have that. | Jul 17 19:31 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, like, if you use Tor Browser and set it to "Safest" and use DuckDuckGo Lite (the one where there's no JavaScript), you _might_ be okay. | Jul 17 19:32 |
| DaemonFC | Running JavaScript and other active content just creates too many situations where an unmasking attack against you goes ahead and works. | Jul 17 19:32 |
| DaemonFC | And people aren't technical experts. They won't know all this stuff. | Jul 17 19:33 |
| DaemonFC | They'll open Chrome and type in "How do I get to the abortion clinic in Illinois?" and then BAM, 10 years in prison when they get back to Texas. | Jul 17 19:33 |
| DaemonFC | You know, take their "phone" with them. | Jul 17 19:33 |
| DaemonFC | Location data leaking out, gets bought in bulk by prosecutors who don't need a warrant now. | Jul 17 19:34 |
| DaemonFC | If you're looking up anything that even may be a crime....that's not how you do it. | Jul 17 19:34 |
| DaemonFC | For years and years, they just go pull all your Google shit, including search histories. | Jul 17 19:34 |
| DaemonFC | "He was looking at this, he wanted to know that!" | Jul 17 19:35 |
| DaemonFC | "Well, why would you want to know how to build a bomb if you aren't the guy who built a bomb!?" | Jul 17 19:35 |
| DaemonFC | That's Google working as it was designed. | Jul 17 19:35 |
| DaemonFC | Now it will go after women. | Jul 17 19:35 |
| DaemonFC | For something that was protected by the Constitution for 50 years. | Jul 17 19:35 |

| DaemonFC | Lynx is so old I remember talking to the lady at my ISP about it back in their office in 1998. | Jul 17 20:48 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz[TR], It's my goal that everything I write online should be readable even if someone turns off images, videos, Web fonts, and all active content. | Jul 17 20:51 |
| DaemonFC | Unfortunately, all of the desktop publishing applications for Wordpress seem to be dead. | Jul 17 20:51 |
| DaemonFC | But people can read it with Lynx or NewsWaffle if they want to. | Jul 17 20:52 |
| DaemonFC | Modern Web sites have really no accessibility in mind at all. | Jul 17 20:52 |
| DaemonFC | I was amused at how well some bittorrent Web sites function in Lynx. | Jul 17 20:53 |
| schestowitz[TR] | yeah, I know what you mean | Jul 17 20:53 |
| schestowitz[TR] | I've moaned about this for years | Jul 17 20:53 |
| DaemonFC | They display the infohash on the screen or you can select the link and copy just that part, and then when you open qbittorrent, it knows what's in the clipboard. | Jul 17 20:53 |
| DaemonFC | At least something browser-related that Lou Montulli was involved with is alive and kicking. | Jul 17 20:54 |
| DaemonFC | He was one of the main authors of Lynx when he was in college in the early 90s. | Jul 17 20:54 |
| DaemonFC | It was meant to make it easy and fast to get at hypertext on the University's system. | Jul 17 20:55 |
| DaemonFC | If NCSA Mosaic still worked, I'd probably be using that. | Jul 17 20:55 |
| DaemonFC | The only branch that survived past 1997 was something that was really intended to be ran on Macs, which is unfortunate. | Jul 17 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | The author of that fork described it as "Lynx with images". It could handle modern sites enough to do that. | Jul 17 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | Without utterly collapsing Classic Mac OS on late 90s and early 2000s models. | Jul 17 20:57 |
| DaemonFC | So that was an achievement. | Jul 17 20:57 |
| DaemonFC | Classic Mac OS was a real piece of shit operating system. | Jul 17 20:57 |
| DaemonFC | In many ways, Windows 98 was designed better than that. | Jul 17 20:57 |
| schestowitz[TR] | multitasking was poor | Jul 17 20:58 |
| schestowitz[TR] | I had an old mac at the office, it qwould lockm sometimes | Jul 17 20:58 |
| DaemonFC | Windows 98 handled multitasking better without completely locking up vs. the Mac, and that ought to tell you how bad the Mac was. | Jul 17 20:58 |
| DaemonFC | The Macs frequently locked up so bad that the only way to recover from it was yanking the power cord and hoping you didn't corrupt something that had been open. | Jul 17 20:59 |

| DaemonFC | Cooperative Multitasking is just another way of saying it multitasks until you run one badly written application that brings the whole computer down. | Jul 17 20:59 |
| DaemonFC | So it's a joke. | Jul 17 20:59 |
| DaemonFC | DOS or the Commodore were more desirable than this. | Jul 17 21:00 |
| XRevan86 | https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2022/07/17/russian-tv-protester-marina-ovsyannikova-detained-near-moscow-news "Russian TV protester Marina Ovsyannikova detained near Moscow" | Jul 17 21:01 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-novayagazeta.eu | Новая газета. Европа | Jul 17 21:01 | |
| DaemonFC | DOS had no real concept of multitasking. There were TSRs, but those were really just managing the system in the background and were usually small and carefully written to where they didn't crash while you had another program up and running. | Jul 17 21:01 |
| XRevan86 | Warm welcome back to Moscow. | Jul 17 21:01 |
| DaemonFC | And I liked DOS because of that. | Jul 17 21:01 |
| DaemonFC | You opened Windows, you had no idea what would happen. | Jul 17 21:01 |
| DaemonFC | The Commodore Amiga was probably the first home computer that got multitasking right and wasn't a disaster. | Jul 17 21:02 |
| DaemonFC | But I had one of the old Commodores that had a BASIC that they co-developed with Microsoft, but that wasn't the OS. The OS was a really minimalistic program that was essentially what we'd call a set of BIOS interfaces, called KERNAL (yes, that's how it was spelled). | Jul 17 21:03 |
| DaemonFC | You never interacted with it as a user, directly. It interacted with the program you had open, and there was no multitasking really. | Jul 17 21:04 |
| DaemonFC | So at like 4 or 5 years old I had the Commodore, and I ran my software for it off of tape drives and really large floppy disks. | Jul 17 21:05 |
| DaemonFC | And even the Commodore at that point was more capable than a typical DOS computer, for another 10 years or so, in some ways, if the programmer was careful to do things efficiently. | Jul 17 21:05 |
| DaemonFC | I wouldn't say that DOS clearly pulled out ahead of the 80s Commodores in video gaming until you started to see things like X-Wing and DOOM. | Jul 17 21:06 |
| DaemonFC | But by that point, you expected it to, right? You had a computer with a 386 or 486 and 4, 8, or 16 MB of RAM. | Jul 17 21:07 |
| DaemonFC | Not a CPU that was barely over 1 Mhz and 64 KB of RAM running things off floppies and tapes. | Jul 17 21:08 |
| DaemonFC | The Amiga would have done a lot better except that it was really REALLY expensive. | Jul 17 21:08 |
| DaemonFC | It had a feature set of a mid 90s (1995-1997) PC more than 10 years early. And the price you'd expect that to be in the mid 80s. | Jul 17 21:09 |
| DaemonFC | People just weren't willing to pay that at that time, especially considering that the home computer market was still a novelty and most didn't even have any sort of network to connect it to. | Jul 17 21:09 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz[TR], I think the modern Web is going to get bad to the point that people vomit and go back to text and selectively downloading things and so on as a protest. | Jul 17 21:11 |
| DaemonFC | But the Web will obviously be there and "imposed" by certain things, like online shopping or some assholes that demand you bank with it. | Jul 17 21:11 |
| DaemonFC | Governments will demand you use it to interact with them. | Jul 17 21:12 |
| DaemonFC | It's just all the worst people who absolutely insist on these bloated Web sites. If Lynx can't handle it, it's because the people running the site are complete shitheads. | Jul 17 21:12 |

| Ariadne | schestowitz[TR2]: those containers are bare alpine ones, so you'll have to set up the jails appropriately | Jul 17 22:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | apk add openssh first | Jul 17 22:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I got it from hv | Jul 17 22:22 |
| Ariadne | i would suggest setting up some workflow where the site is built with CI | Jul 17 22:23 |
| Ariadne | gitea + woodpecker or such | Jul 17 22:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we'll deploy from git | Jul 17 22:23 |

| Ariadne | unrestricted version? | Jul 17 22:27 |
| XRevan86 | Ariadne: Quad9 by default is designed with malware blocking in mind. | Jul 17 22:27 |
| XRevan86 | A selling point if ye will. | Jul 17 22:27 |
| Ariadne | i know | Jul 17 22:27 |
| Ariadne | but in this case | Jul 17 22:27 |
| Ariadne | does it matter ? | Jul 17 22:27 |
| XRevan86 | Is that really desirable on a server? | Jul 17 22:27 |
| Ariadne | i don't see why not | Jul 17 22:28 |
| XRevan86 | If that triggers for whatever reason, it may complicate things. | Jul 17 22:28 |
| Ariadne | is schestowitz[TR2] planning to connect to malware C&C servers ? | Jul 17 22:28 |
| Ariadne | :) | Jul 17 22:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I'm setting up the users atm :-) | Jul 17 22:29 |
| XRevan86 | Ariadne: Is there a list publicly available? | Jul 17 22:29 |
| Ariadne | a list of malware C&C servers? | Jul 17 22:29 |
| XRevan86 | Ariadne: That Quad9 blocks specifically. | Jul 17 22:29 |
| Ariadne | no idea | Jul 17 22:29 |
| Ariadne | i mean, he is free to use another DNS server if he wishes | Jul 17 22:30 |
| Ariadne | 9.9.9.9 is just physically inside the same network | Jul 17 22:30 |
| XRevan86 | > Quad9 can protect mail servers against malicious hosts and phishing domains which appear in our blended threat intelligence list | Jul 17 22:31 |
| XRevan86 | Maybe that can be useful. | Jul 17 22:31 |
| Ariadne | geeze you're scrutinizing this like its run by putin or something | Jul 17 22:32 |
| Ariadne | all they do is download the various shadowserver lists and block the C&C domains in them | Jul 17 22:32 |
| XRevan86 | Ariadne: DNS interference does leave a bad taste in my mouth. | Jul 17 22:32 |
| Ariadne | and if some weirdo does pop the ... legacy PHP tuxmachines/techrights shit | Jul 17 22:33 |
| Ariadne | i'd like to make it a little difficult for him | Jul 17 22:33 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | well, technically thee sites have not yet | Jul 17 23:09 |
| matey | thats better | Jul 17 23:09 |

| matey | if youre going to use gnu/linux (which alpine isnt, but gnu is dead anyway so) | Jul 17 23:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no "systemctl" | Jul 17 23:09 |
| matey | then alpine is | Jul 17 23:09 |
| matey | better than fedora, or most distros | Jul 17 23:10 |
| matey | competent people | Jul 17 23:10 |
| MinceR | i gave netbsd a try, it's hardware support isn't exactly impressive | Jul 17 23:10 |
| MinceR | s/t's/ts/ | Jul 17 23:10 |
| matey | netbsd is a bit easier on some sbcs | Jul 17 23:10 |
| matey | other than that its a pain | Jul 17 23:10 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | starting the ssh daemon, setting to autorestart (rc), installing openssh takes less than a minute | Jul 17 23:11 |
| matey | the mistake thats become the norm is thinking of software as a product | Jul 17 23:11 |
| matey | the correct mentality (the one that actually serves us well, i mean) | Jul 17 23:11 |
| matey | is the one that existed before microsoft | Jul 17 23:11 |
| matey | software is a project | Jul 17 23:11 |
| matey | you learn it, or someone helps you with it | Jul 17 23:11 |
| MinceR | it's both | Jul 17 23:12 |
| matey | software isnt a product-- and when it is, it sucks | Jul 17 23:12 |
| matey | often it sucks anyway | Jul 17 23:12 |
| MinceR | you can't really afford to be an expert in the entire stack anymore | Jul 17 23:12 |
| matey | but when its a product, youre fucked | Jul 17 23:12 |
| matey | im no expert | Jul 17 23:12 |
| matey | we need projects that attract experts, or at least competent people | Jul 17 23:13 |
| matey | are alpine devs experts? i dont know, how would i | Jul 17 23:13 |
| matey | are they competent? i believe so | Jul 17 23:13 |
| matey | i see plenty of competence expressed | Jul 17 23:14 |
| MinceR | devs have to be experts, users don't | Jul 17 23:14 |
| matey | users should have basic computer literacy | Jul 17 23:14 |
| matey | they dont, thats something weve cheated them out of | Jul 17 23:14 |
| MinceR | basic computer literacy is sufficient for using a product | Jul 17 23:14 |
| matey | literacy isnt expertise | Jul 17 23:14 |
| MinceR | not really sufficient for taking part in a project | Jul 17 23:14 |
| matey | weve cheated them out of the basics | Jul 17 23:14 |
| matey | the oil changes and gauge checking | Jul 17 23:14 |
| matey | weve sacrificed the user to jiffy noob | Jul 17 23:14 |
| mjg59_ | I think Alpine is sufficiently tightly scoped that it's possible to be an expert in the entire stack | Jul 17 23:15 |
| matey | everyone suffers for this-- including the devs | Jul 17 23:15 |
| MinceR | i doubt it | Jul 17 23:15 |
| matey | now most devs have to do a bunch of idiotic bullshit to placate people who dont even know what htey want | Jul 17 23:15 |
| MinceR | part of that stack is a highly bloated kernel | Jul 17 23:15 |
| matey | funnily enough, the biggest reason id never use alpine is the kernel | Jul 17 23:16 |
| MinceR | i could spend days just going through menuconfig these days | Jul 17 23:16 |
| matey | but they dont write the kernel so its sort of not their fault | Jul 17 23:16 |
| matey | but you can blame them for using it-- i sort of do | Jul 17 23:16 |
| matey | im trying to give credit where credits due | Jul 17 23:16 |
| MinceR | and that's with user documentation built in | Jul 17 23:16 |
| matey | so i dont even know what menuconfig is | Jul 17 23:16 |
| MinceR | lol | Jul 17 23:16 |
| matey | hey i managed to use gnu/linux for like a decade and a half without it | Jul 17 23:17 |
| MinceR | it's a tool to configure the Linux you build | Jul 17 23:17 |
| matey | if its related to | Jul 17 23:17 |
| MinceR | what to build into the kernel, what to build as modules, what not to build, other stuff | Jul 17 23:17 |
| matey | i was going to say, if its related to building the kernel, ive ever done that | Jul 17 23:17 |
| matey | that was my guess based on the context of what you were saying | Jul 17 23:17 |
| matey | the most complex thing ive ever built is cpython | Jul 17 23:17 |
| matey | and only for openbsd | Jul 17 23:17 |
| matey | menuconfig is part of a kernel i think is hopeless-- and you probably think so too | Jul 17 23:18 |
| matey | linux is non-free | Jul 17 23:18 |
| matey | linux-libre is at best, barely free | Jul 17 23:18 |
| matey | but you know i consider unforkable to non-free and both are unforkable | Jul 17 23:18 |
| mjg59_ | Linux has a lot of code in it, but you don't need to care about most of it for most scenarios | Jul 17 23:19 |
| MinceR | i don't think menuconfig is hopeless | Jul 17 23:19 |
| matey | but you don't need to care about most of it for most scenarios <- and this is really true of most software | Jul 17 23:19 |
| MinceR | i think Linux has too much stuff in it for its own good | Jul 17 23:19 |
| matey | <MinceR> i think Linux has too much stuff in it for its own goo <- i agree with this too | Jul 17 23:19 |
| matey | i dont code in c. i had a program in c with some kind of array in it (2d) | Jul 17 23:20 |
| mjg59_ | Being able to deal with the entire stack is about being able to work with everything that's relevant to the situation you're managing | Jul 17 23:20 |
| matey | i changed the array which changed a graphical mask and managed to recompile it | Jul 17 23:20 |
| matey | without really knowing c. | Jul 17 23:20 |
| matey | needless to say | Jul 17 23:20 |
| matey | i didnt understand 99% of the code | Jul 17 23:20 |
| matey | and i didnt touch 99% of the ode | Jul 17 23:20 |
| matey | and it was all really a single file. | Jul 17 23:20 |
| mjg59_ | Oh yeah the first patches I sent to anything show I really didn't understand C at the time | Jul 17 23:21 |
| mjg59_ | I still managed to fix dvdcss so it worked on my DVD drive | Jul 17 23:21 |
| matey | but take the man page of mplayer for example | Jul 17 23:21 |
| matey | im really glad that stuff is there | Jul 17 23:21 |
| MinceR | i meant "being an expert in the entire stack" as being an expert in every element of the stack, to the point of being able to develop it and use it without user documentation | Jul 17 23:21 |
| matey | but because its so much stuff, i have to save it-- then filter out the funny formatting | Jul 17 23:21 |
| matey | then page through it just to get anything from the man page | Jul 17 23:21 |
| MinceR | (as if it was your project) | Jul 17 23:21 |
| matey | other than the basic options, which arent the ones i need a man page for | Jul 17 23:21 |
| matey | i doubt mjg has an "i wrote linux" delusion | Jul 17 23:22 |
| MinceR | i'm not referring to that | Jul 17 23:22 |
| matey | he seems pretty realistic (about this) | Jul 17 23:22 |
| MinceR | i'm referring to the "product" aspect of these projects | Jul 17 23:22 |
| MinceR | something you can hand to a user and expect them to be able to use it | Jul 17 23:22 |
| matey | but the best product wouldnt be a product | Jul 17 23:23 |
| matey | it would be something they can always fix | Jul 17 23:23 |
| matey | and i dont just mean source code | Jul 17 23:23 |
| matey | though that should also be an option | Jul 17 23:23 |
| matey | there are so many things that are broken that i can fix with just grep | Jul 17 23:23 |
| matey | grep | Jul 17 23:23 |
| matey | a tool consisting mostly of options i will never use | Jul 17 23:23 |
| matey | 90% of my uses of group could be replaced with a 3 line python script | Jul 17 23:24 |

| DaemonFC | libdvdcss was one of my favorite programs before other people did the heavy lifting for me. | Jul 17 23:26 |
| matey | people who reject solutions that contain 25-character lines of text will end up with solutions that require 25 libraries, which wont remain maintained or compatible | Jul 17 23:27 |
| matey | the problem with products isnt just the philosophy | Jul 17 23:28 |
| matey | products lead to takeovers | Jul 17 23:28 |
| matey | projects have other shit to do | Jul 17 23:28 |
| MinceR | then we're doomed | Jul 17 23:28 |
| matey | yes | Jul 17 23:28 |
| DaemonFC | The Blu Ray DRM doesn't even work. They used Blu Ray discs as a venus fly trap. The earliest set of demands it made on the user weren't that much worse than DVDs. You could even hook it up through Component Video (analog) and it looked great. Then they started enforcing a flag that said "downgrade this to 540p", and then the connectors were removed. Then you had to buy another player because it stopped agreeing to load new discs. Then once you | Jul 17 23:28 |
| DaemonFC | had the next player, 5 years later, it refused to load new discs and they wanted you to pay for another player. | Jul 17 23:28 |
| matey | as long as we rely on products, we are doomed | Jul 17 23:28 |
| DaemonFC | But there are DVD players from the 90s that still play new releases. | Jul 17 23:29 |
| MinceR | good luck being an expert in a kernel, a userland, a libc, a compiler and a web browser at the same time | Jul 17 23:29 |
| matey | two people who agree on very little have debunked that as a requirement | Jul 17 23:29 |
| MinceR | just to do your banking online | Jul 17 23:29 |
| matey | stallman has never installed gnu/linux | Jul 17 23:29 |
| matey | i have never compiled a kernel | Jul 17 23:29 |
| MinceR | and then i didn't even mention the hardware | Jul 17 23:29 |
| matey | same issue with hardware | Jul 17 23:29 |
| MinceR | which is also made of products | Jul 17 23:29 |
| matey | and cant be anymore | Jul 17 23:29 |
| matey | will be, for some time | Jul 17 23:30 |
| matey | has to stop | Jul 17 23:30 |
| MinceR | rms relies on the services of others | Jul 17 23:30 |
| MinceR | is that better than relying on products? | Jul 17 23:30 |
| matey | depends on the services | Jul 17 23:30 |
| MinceR | not even knowing how to install the os you're using? | Jul 17 23:30 |
| matey | if you think im going for man-on-island, off-grid "independence" im not | Jul 17 23:30 |
| matey | computers are good at automation | Jul 17 23:31 |
| matey | if everyone had to write their own kernel, that would be fucking ridiculous | Jul 17 23:31 |
| matey | even if everybody compiled their own kernel, it would have to be REALLY EASY to do | Jul 17 23:31 |
| matey | some would argue it is. | Jul 17 23:31 |
| matey | you dispute it, youre a software engineer | Jul 17 23:31 |
| matey | youre not a shill | Jul 17 23:31 |
| matey | so it cant be THAT easy | Jul 17 23:31 |
| matey | fwiw i never thought it was easy to compile the kernel | Jul 17 23:32 |
| matey | you just support that | Jul 17 23:32 |
| DaemonFC | It wasn't that difficult to compile a kernel the last time I did it. | Jul 17 23:32 |
| matey | point being | Jul 17 23:32 |
| matey | someone else writes a kernel | Jul 17 23:32 |
| matey | someone else wrote grep | Jul 17 23:32 |
| matey | someone else wrote python | Jul 17 23:32 |
| matey | thats ok | Jul 17 23:32 |
| matey | (id like a lighter version of python too) | Jul 17 23:33 |
| MinceR | 18 003135 < matey> even if everybody compiled their own kernel, it would have to be REALLY EASY to do | Jul 17 23:33 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I can be a d.r as in GP without going to med school | Jul 17 23:36 |
| mjg59_ | Yeah I don't have a CS degree | Jul 17 23:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the title is important, not thse qualification | Jul 17 23:36 |
| mjg59_ | But Roy keeps complaining that because I don't have a CS degree, I can't be an expert in anything related to software | Jul 17 23:37 |
| matey | oh ok | Jul 17 23:37 |
| MinceR | that's new to me | Jul 17 23:37 |
| matey | no i believe it | Jul 17 23:37 |
| matey | but the way he says it its probably just a poke at mjg specifically | Jul 17 23:37 |
| matey | not a general-- truth | Jul 17 23:37 |
| matey | he likes to imply mjg has no qualifications at all | Jul 17 23:37 |
| matey | as a response to mjg making some assertions about security that i dont think please any of us | Jul 17 23:38 |
| MinceR | no formal qualifications, perhaps | Jul 17 23:38 |

| britney | mjg59_, are you a lizard? | Jul 17 23:39 |
| matey | mostly i think mjg is on the wrong side, and i disagree with him VERY strongly on some thing i think are important | Jul 17 23:39 |
| matey | thats different from having no qualifications | Jul 17 23:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I could give people training sessions without qualifications either http://scifitness.co.uk/consultants/ | Jul 17 23:39 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | it doesn't mean you feasibly cannot | Jul 17 23:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but you shout from a tall/high horse | Jul 17 23:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like you are a security guru | Jul 17 23:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but little to show for it | Jul 17 23:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you don't promote real security | Jul 17 23:40 |
| matey | mjg says everything matter of factly (or seems to) | Jul 17 23:40 |
| matey | but i know so many people that do that, its hard to single out anyone for it | Jul 17 23:41 |
| mjg59_ | britney: Not to the best of my knowledge | Jul 17 23:41 |

| mjg59_ | matey: I try to only say things here when I'm certain about things - if I'm uncertain, I stay quiet | Jul 17 23:41 |
| techrights-news | At the EPO, one gets promoted not for hard work but for compliance (not with the law but with illegal instructions from management); it also helps to be French like Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos http://techrights.org/2022/07/17/presidential-lapdogs/ | Jul 17 23:41 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | *hello | Jul 17 23:42 |
| matey | I try to only say things here when I'm certain about things <- i dont even bother going that far | Jul 17 23:42 |
| matey | if im uncertain, ill say something | Jul 17 23:42 |
| matey | but there are caveats | Jul 17 23:42 |
| matey | sometimes mincer debunks something instantly | Jul 17 23:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's a cancel fishing expedition | Jul 17 23:43 |
| matey | like when he said he would take turing complete over memory safe :) | Jul 17 23:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | looking for some BS | Jul 17 23:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like someone talking of "reptilians" | Jul 17 23:43 |
| *techrights_guest|36 has quit (Quit: Connection closed) | Jul 17 23:43 | |
| matey | <schestowitz[TR2]> it's a cancel fishing expedition <schestowitz[TR2]> looking for some B | Jul 17 23:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and then painting the whole site as such | Jul 17 23:43 |
| matey | oh, probably | Jul 17 23:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to make it seem bad | Jul 17 23:43 |
| matey | but if so the dossier must be in the terabytes by now | Jul 17 23:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's not about quantities | Jul 17 23:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | maybe typos go in the dossiers too | Jul 17 23:43 |
| MinceR | maybe they've built a datacenter in the desert to hold it :> | Jul 17 23:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | though IU prefer to be judged on texts in the site, not irc | Jul 17 23:44 |
| matey | dont be a tinfoil hat, mincer | Jul 17 23:44 |
| MinceR | no need for that | Jul 17 23:44 |
| phanes | the solution to a smear campaign is to bolt your jaws down on the primary actor | Jul 17 23:44 |
| matey | there were never any datacentres, and we have always been at war with eurasia | Jul 17 23:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | DaemonFC: can I reproduce pls? | Jul 17 23:44 |
| matey | on the primary actor <- what if there is no primary actor? | Jul 17 23:44 |
| phanes | so let them crazy-make about reptilians | Jul 17 23:44 |
| phanes | there always is | Jul 17 23:44 |
| matey | maybe | Jul 17 23:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I would report typos as I go through it | Jul 17 23:45 |
| matey | im not sure this time (but i still suspect it) | Jul 17 23:45 |
| phanes | sometimes its a small group of primary actors | Jul 17 23:45 |
| phanes | look for NPD behaviours in the primary publisher's circles | Jul 17 23:45 |
| matey | well those are all over the place | Jul 17 23:45 |
| matey | the whole industry is like that | Jul 17 23:45 |
| matey | the water underground microsoft and ibm is probably pink ghostbusters sludge | Jul 17 23:46 |
| phanes | there is a high percentage of narcissists yes but at the core of almost all of those is narcissistic injury or opportunistic exploitation, both of which are serial events for the primary actor | Jul 17 23:46 |
| matey | holy shit its phanes | Jul 17 23:46 |
| matey | i just realise | Jul 17 23:46 |
| *phanes tips his hat | Jul 17 23:46 | |
| mjg59_ | phanes: Why did you write an entire blog about your ex-fiance and then edit it to replace your name with a fake one? | Jul 17 23:46 |
| britney | its not just reptilians, there are also the hive mind super computer made of neanderthal brains | Jul 17 23:47 |

| britney | check out the video | Jul 17 23:47 |
| phanes | matey: anyway, NPD always self-destructs. I've got some experience with this. I've got one that's self-destructing on me right now and has no idea. | Jul 17 23:48 |
| mjg59_ | phanes: Who even is "Jerry Thibodeau"? | Jul 17 23:48 |
| matey | yeah we come from similar schools on this | Jul 17 23:48 |
| britney | deep underground, in the moho discontinuity, theres a hive mind super computer | Jul 17 23:48 |
| matey | different politics, but similar experience | Jul 17 23:48 |
| MinceR | 🍿 | Jul 17 23:48 |
| matey | in the moho discontinuity <- first ive heard of this one | Jul 17 23:49 |
| phanes | He's in deep, deep over his head with a shallow intellect that's been hyped up by pedigree and association, and he's repeatedly stepping on every rake in sight with abandon. | Jul 17 23:49 |
| phanes | I love this part | Jul 17 23:49 |
| mjg59_ | phanes: It's especially weird because you left your name in the blog title | Jul 17 23:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | matey: bon appetite | Jul 17 23:49 |
| britney | the reptilians and neanderthals play us like a grand game of chess | Jul 17 23:50 |
| mjg59_ | phanes: Guess you just like writing stuff where you use someone else's name? Odd pattern of behaviour tbh | Jul 17 23:50 |
| matey | schestowitz[TR2]: wrong autocomplete? | Jul 17 23:50 |
| mjg59_ | (People should feel free to /msg me for links) | Jul 17 23:50 |
| matey | /me is curious what the worst thing the thought police have on phanes is | Jul 17 23:51 |
| matey | note that cancel culture doesnt always get it wrong. even a busted clock is right twice a day | Jul 17 23:51 |
| MinceR | depends on what sort of clock and how it's busted :> | Jul 17 23:51 |
| matey | if its a sundial and the sun explodes | Jul 17 23:52 |
| MinceR | lol | Jul 17 23:52 |
| matey | it hardly matters what time it is | Jul 17 23:52 |
| phanes | mjg59_: Well whatever you do, definitely don't think you're walking right into blowback. | Jul 17 23:52 |
| mjg59_ | phanes: That doesn't seem like an answer to my questions | Jul 17 23:52 |
| phanes | mjg59_: I've dealt with "you" in many forms over the years. Your strategy is flawed and you have already been told how to fix your current problem. | Jul 17 23:53 |
| matey | phanes: how do we fix the current problem? | Jul 17 23:54 |
| matey | oh, his. | Jul 17 23:54 |
| matey | ok how does he? | Jul 17 23:54 |
| phanes | matey: I will respect his privacy on that. | Jul 17 23:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | DaemonFC: jriddell left? | Jul 17 23:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I thought he had beenn pushed out | Jul 17 23:54 |
| matey | that fair, i didnt know it was a privacy thing | Jul 17 23:54 |
| mjg59_ | I disclaim all privacy claims here | Jul 17 23:54 |
| mjg59_ | He's free to tell you whatever | Jul 17 23:54 |
| DaemonFC | Yes, pushed out for criticizing the "Intellectual Property" bullshit. | Jul 17 23:54 |
| matey | he wont bite though | Jul 17 23:54 |
| DaemonFC | The "community" (Mark Shuttleworth) frowned on that. | Jul 17 23:55 |
| matey | and i wasnt asking for details, just overview | Jul 17 23:55 |
| matey | but i can see that probably isnt relevant here based on the... exchange | Jul 17 23:55 |
| phanes | Oh, he'll bite. People who do stuff like this follow very set patterns and there are only so many options he can choose from. | Jul 17 23:55 |
| matey | also sometimes overview sort of says everything | Jul 17 23:55 |
| matey | mjg: what is your beef with phanes? | Jul 17 23:56 |
| matey | asking you because youre more likely to give overview. but im not counting on it | Jul 17 23:56 |
| matey | you were straightforward about what you disliked about rms and assange | Jul 17 23:56 |
| mjg59_ | matey: He told me he was going to have his lawyers send me a certified letter and then he never followed through | Jul 17 23:56 |
| phanes | matey: he started to defame me, I research his background a little, and found that he's been defaming others for more than a decade. | Jul 17 23:56 |
| matey | thanks both | Jul 17 23:56 |
| phanes | So now he's getting exposed for it, and he's chewing his teeth out of his head looking for a way to retaliate that won't immediately burn him. | Jul 17 23:56 |
