CrystalMathand what is this crap? https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/11/16/21570072/obama-internet-threat-democracy-facebook-fox-atlanticNov 18 00:03

XRevan86What's the tl;dr? They kind of are, but they also aren't, depends on the angle.Nov 18 00:03
*psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving)Nov 18 00:05
CrystalMathwell nothing, Obama says that the fact that people live in information bubbles is a problemNov 18 00:06
CrystalMathbut he also blames big tech for itNov 18 00:06
CrystalMathi don't see howNov 18 00:06
CrystalMathi mean, i hate big tech, but is QAnon their fault? no wayNov 18 00:07
MinceRblaming objects for the faults of humans is a big thing in uhmericaNov 18 00:08
MinceRand also elsewhere on this planetNov 18 00:08
XRevan86Well, there's no regulation that would solve "personalisation". Maybe something that stricten data collection on people, that would kill it off.Nov 18 00:09

XRevan86* strictensNov 18 00:10
MinceRwhich is why i'd just personally kill evildoers instead of screwing around with regulations :>Nov 18 00:10
XRevan86MinceR: Isn't that the same thing, except with executions as penalty?Nov 18 00:12
MinceRno, i'd do it without a stateNov 18 00:12
MinceRstates have failed, it's time to stop forcing themNov 18 00:12
XRevan86mother anarchy, got itNov 18 00:12
CrystalMathXRevan86: you want to strengthen surveillance?Nov 18 00:13
XRevan86CrystalMath: The opposite. I think anti-surveillance regulation can fix the bubble effect %).Nov 18 00:14
XRevan86but it's also something they won't be willing to doNov 18 00:14
CrystalMaththat won't stop people going to 4chanNov 18 00:14
CrystalMathand talking about the latest UFO Obamanton landed from to kidnap children and make cigarettes out of themNov 18 00:15

CrystalMath(as well as other conspiracies)Nov 18 00:16
XRevan86CrystalMath: Yea, but if someone goes to 4chan then they kind of know what kind of rabbit hole they're diving into.Nov 18 00:16
XRevan86I can't believe I managed to write it in such an ugly way but still technically correctly.Nov 18 00:18

TechrightsBot-trHello World! I'm TechrightsBot-tr running phIRCe v0.77Nov 18 01:09
oiaohmCrystalMath: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/03/australian-and-nz-isps-blocked-dozens-of-sites-that-host-nz-shooting-video/   This is where things get tricky.Nov 18 01:11
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-arstechnica.com | 4chan, 8chan blocked by Australian and NZ ISPs for hosting shooting video | Ars TechnicaNov 18 01:11
oiaohmThere is a legal responsibility on those providing content in most countries that is in the printed press or on free to air tv to be based on facts..Nov 18 01:14
oiaohmOf course with Australia carrier laws this does technically go to anyone hosting stuff in Australia on ISPs as well.Nov 18 01:15
oiaohmThe reality is as the laws of most countries catch up with the internet places like 4chan will either go away or have todo some level of content moderation.Nov 18 01:16
CrystalMaththat would be badNov 18 01:16
*zoobab has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)Nov 18 01:16
oiaohmThere are a lot of things you are not allowed todo in public spaces.Nov 18 01:16
CrystalMathalso 4chan does have moderationNov 18 01:17
oiaohmAnd if the courts rule the internet to be a public space there will be quite a bit of restriction.Nov 18 01:17
oiaohmwhen 4chan started it did not have that much modernation.  Its been growing it as the laws catching up.Nov 18 01:17
CrystalMathwell the big problem is pedophilia, which had to be eliminated from 4chanNov 18 01:18
*mmu_man (~revol@vaf26-2-82-244-111-82.fbx.proxad.net) has joined #techrightsNov 18 01:18
CrystalMathunderstandablyNov 18 01:18
oiaohmThat was they eliminate it or be totally blocked everywhere.Nov 18 01:18
oiaohmBut that was really the start of law forced moderation.Nov 18 01:19
oiaohmThere are other things other than pedophilia that the laws most countries say you cannot be doing either.Nov 18 01:19
CrystalMathof course, howeverNov 18 01:19
oiaohmStill need to be moderated out.Nov 18 01:19
CrystalMaththe problem will be when governments start abusing thisNov 18 01:20
CrystalMathto silence criticism and stuffNov 18 01:20
CrystalMathwhich is why we must fight for free speechNov 18 01:20
oiaohmThere is risk of government abuse I do agree.Nov 18 01:20
CrystalMathactually, the risk to free speech is the greatest risk to democracyNov 18 01:20
oiaohmBut there are things like videod murder and other horrible things that need to be restricted.   This includes people providing fake cures and other horrible things that cause deaths.Nov 18 01:21
oiaohmThe problem is the blance.Nov 18 01:21
CrystalMathi would disagree with protecting people from themselvesNov 18 01:21
oiaohmThere is a list of things that need to be moderated out of existance because they are not safe/good for anyone.Nov 18 01:21
CrystalMatha person's will should be manipulated with informationNov 18 01:22
oiaohmProblem is false information and correct information can manipulate a person equally.Nov 18 01:22
CrystalMathwell, that's trueNov 18 01:23
CrystalMathbut many things are also not clearly true / falseNov 18 01:23
oiaohmThere is also the problem of desensitisation.   Like with the process of desensitisation you can make it easier to kill.    This is why some image times on tv are mandated sensored by law.  Nov 18 01:24
CrystalMaththere's also the problem of people being overly sensitiveNov 18 01:24
CrystalMathwhich is a huge problem nowadaysNov 18 01:24
oiaohmThere is also the reverse as well.Nov 18 01:25
CrystalMathonly for some thingsNov 18 01:25
oiaohmIts sensitivity  is a balance.    We don't want people mega sensitive to stuff and we don't want them totally insesistive to differenet bad stuff.Nov 18 01:26
CrystalMathi'd say people are really densitized to pornographic stuff, but also too sensitive to criticism and different opinionsNov 18 01:26
CrystalMath*desensitizedNov 18 01:27
oiaohmSome of the pornographic densitized links to people ignoring domestic volicence events that have lead to death.Nov 18 01:28
CrystalMathmaybe? i'm not sure what the link is thoughNov 18 01:28
CrystalMathi'd rather focus on exposing people to different opinionsNov 18 01:28
CrystalMathhaving them think for themselvesNov 18 01:28
CrystalMathbe more philosophicalNov 18 01:29
CrystalMathnot just listen to othersNov 18 01:29
MinceRwe could prevent people from being desensitized to anything by removing their sensory organsNov 18 01:29
oiaohmHaving different options is not that useful either.    Remember you have people arguing points like flat earth that really basic tests prove as false.Nov 18 01:29
CrystalMathoiaohm: so what?Nov 18 01:30
CrystalMathi know a flat earth theoristsNov 18 01:30
CrystalMath*theoristNov 18 01:30
oiaohmThen you have people doing the same things with medical stuff.Nov 18 01:30
oiaohmThat is just as simple to disprove.Nov 18 01:30
CrystalMathand i don't really mind his opinion, even if i disagreeNov 18 01:30
CrystalMaththat's the pointNov 18 01:30
CrystalMathi think you need to learn this as wellNov 18 01:30
CrystalMaththe fact that it's simple to disprove means that most people will believe the truthNov 18 01:31
CrystalMathbut a certain % will be dumb or contrarianNov 18 01:31
CrystalMaththere's also things like religionNov 18 01:31
oiaohmAnd that % of dumb could come the president of the USA.Nov 18 01:31
CrystalMathoiaohm: how, if it's a small number?Nov 18 01:32
MinceRlooks like that % is close to 50Nov 18 01:32
oiaohmTrump believes a stack of stuff known to be 100 percent false.Nov 18 01:32
CrystalMathlike what?Nov 18 01:32
MinceRlike that vaccines don't work but instead cause autismNov 18 01:33
CrystalMathhe doesn't actually believe in injecting bleach or light, he just asked a silly questionNov 18 01:33
MinceRor like that finland is part of russiaNov 18 01:33
CrystalMathwhat?Nov 18 01:33
CrystalMathwhen did he say that?Nov 18 01:33
MinceRno, he let his idiocy slipNov 18 01:33
MinceRand later he tried to claim it was a jokeNov 18 01:33
MinceRno one laughedNov 18 01:33
oiaohmCrystalMath: he pushed a drug that all the results said did not work.Nov 18 01:33
oiaohmNot much different to inject bleach really.Nov 18 01:33
CrystalMathoiaohm: i'm quite sure someone else told him about hydroxychloroquineNov 18 01:33
*mmu_man has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)Nov 18 01:33
CrystalMathit didn't come from himNov 18 01:33
MinceRwell if someone else says it, it's got to be trueNov 18 01:34
MinceRlike the Earth being flat, for exampleNov 18 01:34
oiaohmSo CrystalMath he had a idiot feeding him invalid information and he was running with it right.Nov 18 01:34
oiaohmThis is the problem with false information.Nov 18 01:34
CrystalMathit probably came from a doctorNov 18 01:35
MinceRthe problem is not with false information but with stupid peopleNov 18 01:35
CrystalMathone of the so-called expertsNov 18 01:35
MinceRwell, they hand doctorates out to just about anyone nowadaysNov 18 01:35
oiaohmAgain doctor who has been bribed to provide false information.Nov 18 01:36
CrystalMaththere are also papers about hydroxychloroquine providing some protection against virusesNov 18 01:36
oiaohmNo proper peer review of information.Nov 18 01:36
MinceRthere's an alleged physician who acts as the speaker for the nazi government of hungary in COVID-19-related matters who said things like "masks don't protect you from the virus" and "you can't stop the pandemic with testing"Nov 18 01:36
CrystalMathnot in the case of SARS-CoV-2Nov 18 01:36
oiaohmAll those papers after proper peer review have turned out to be false.Nov 18 01:36
MinceRthere's another nazi in hungary who has a medical doctorate who claimed that people get ill because they violate the ten commandmentsNov 18 01:36
CrystalMathoiaohm: are you sure?Nov 18 01:37
oiaohmhydrooxychloroquine does not work against viruses at all with proper reviewed studies.Nov 18 01:37
CrystalMathoiaohm: because malaria's entry into cells is very similar to a virus'sNov 18 01:37
CrystalMathfor example, both malaria and influenzavirus bind to hemagluttininNov 18 01:37
CrystalMathSARS-CoV-2 is different as it binds to ACE2Nov 18 01:37
MinceR(that second nazi i mentioned is a minister, though he sucks so hard at his job even his own government started working around him)Nov 18 01:37
CrystalMathinfluenzavirus can also bind to neuraminidaseNov 18 01:38
oiaohm hydrooxychloroquine in fact works against  malaria itself.   Not the redblood cells.Nov 18 01:38
CrystalMaththere are other coronaviruses that bind to N-acetyl-neuraminic acid receptors (NANAR)Nov 18 01:38
oiaohmAll the proper studides  hydrooxychloroquine just does not work at all with a virus case increases risk of deaht.Nov 18 01:39
CrystalMathit's possible that there's a riskNov 18 01:39
oiaohmOne of the catches with  hydrooxychloroquine is that is used to treat autoimmune diseases.   So in case of virus infection you need immune system to work better.    hydrooxychloroquine is the exact other direction.Nov 18 01:41
CrystalMathwell, there's also immune overreactionNov 18 01:41
superkuhBinding to ace2 is just the start, then extracellular proteases cleave the spike protein and the hydrophobic region that acts as an anchor for membrane fusion comes into play.Nov 18 01:41
superkuhGet too much of that going on and you get not only viral membranes fusing, but cells fusing.Nov 18 01:42
superkuhAnd that leads to chronic inflammation.Nov 18 01:42
oiaohmCrystalMath: there are a few different ways to treat immune over reaction.    hydrooxychloroquine reduces anti-bodies in general way.     So you reduce the immune over reaction but you also reduce the immune system means to stop the virus so the virus goes on to kill more cells.Nov 18 01:44
oiaohmAutoimmune disease crippling the immune system because you have no better treatment can be fine while the person does not have any other infection.Nov 18 01:45
oiaohmWhen in infected with a virus any 100% immune system crippling path is not right.Nov 18 01:46

CrystalMathsorry i was reading about the syncitial pneumocytes from COVID-19Nov 18 01:49
CrystalMath*syncytialNov 18 01:49
oiaohmCrystalMath: It is believed that hydroxychloroquine interferes with the communication of cells in the immune system.  << This is what the studies appear to show hydrooxychloroquine doing.   This is a immune system communication disruption.Nov 18 01:49
oiaohmBasically able to stall out the immune system from fighting back at all.Nov 18 01:50
CrystalMathlikely SARS-CoV-1 is the sameNov 18 01:50
CrystalMathanyway i think it's clear to everyone at this point that hydroxychloroquine is not a cureNov 18 01:51
oiaohmand its not a treatment either.Nov 18 01:52
oiaohmbecause it adjust totally the wrong thing.Nov 18 01:52
oiaohmThe fact it was known to adjust totally the wrong thing was documented before the Covid-19 with athrisis people being on hydroxychloroquine having higher risks of getting the common cold and having adverise effects.Nov 18 01:53
oiaohmWhat happens when fake information not backed by proper data gets into the system.Nov 18 01:54
CrystalMathin the end, it was not Trump who gave people this drug, but doctors in hospitalsNov 18 01:54
CrystalMathsometimes the entire world can be deceived, evenNov 18 01:54
oiaohmIts never normally the entire world.Nov 18 01:55
oiaohmBut a large enough can be to cause extra deaths.Nov 18 01:55
CrystalMathand don't forget this was a new virus back in marchNov 18 01:56
CrystalMathpeople were desperateNov 18 01:56
CrystalMaththey wanted to try anythingNov 18 01:56
oiaohmExactly the dangerous problem with false information getting out.Nov 18 01:56
CrystalMathbut we didn't really know for sure that it's falseNov 18 01:56
oiaohmWhen humans are desperate they don't make best choices.Nov 18 01:57
CrystalMathdesperate situations happenNov 18 01:57
CrystalMathit's no use to judge from hindsightNov 18 01:57
oiaohmAustralia blocked hydroxychloroquine studies here before it was given to anyone.Nov 18 01:57
oiaohmBecause of the requirement of proper peer review information.Nov 18 01:57
CrystalMathahNov 18 01:57
CrystalMathwell, that's being really carefulNov 18 01:58

CrystalMathin other scenarios that can be bad tooNov 18 01:58
oiaohmMore often than not its bad not to be careful.Nov 18 01:58
oiaohmIs a rare scenario with medical where that level of careful does not work.Nov 18 01:58
CrystalMathwell against ebola many experimental drugs were givenNov 18 01:59
CrystalMathout of desperationNov 18 01:59
CrystalMathand there was one that had some successNov 18 01:59
oiaohmLot did pass peer review of being possible with the ebola tests.Nov 18 02:00
oiaohmPossible and working are totally different things.Nov 18 02:00
oiaohmThe one that had some success with ebola did pass peer review to be possible before any usage.Nov 18 02:00
oiaohmevery one in the ebola experimental drugs that did not pass peer review totally failed.Nov 18 02:01
CrystalMatheither way i think we went way off topicNov 18 02:02
CrystalMathi still stand by freedom of speechNov 18 02:02
oiaohmThere is a handful of rare exceptions Lorenzo's Oil case where peer review says is dangerous.   Yet it was the right treatment.   These are rare and due to the risk you want to start with a single test subject.Nov 18 02:03
oiaohmWhen I say handful over the complete human medicial history there are 4 cases.Nov 18 02:04
oiaohmThe odds of you being right doing something not peer reviewed as possible is almost zero with medicial.Nov 18 02:05
oiaohmSame with construction and many other fields.Nov 18 02:05
oiaohmCrystalMath: freedom of speech is one thing false representation is another.   You can say anything and state that you have no evidence that its true and should not be used as true without more tests as in a untested theory.Nov 18 02:07
oiaohmProblem is you get a lot of people making stuff out as absolutely true that is without question false and this does kill people.Nov 18 02:08
oiaohmFree-speech should not be without a duty of care on your part.Nov 18 02:09
CrystalMathoiaohm: well the more you prevent people from thinking, the stupider they will beNov 18 02:09
CrystalMathit will just increase the problemNov 18 02:09
CrystalMathpeople need to be forced to think for themselvesNov 18 02:09
CrystalMathand the only way is to let them get burned when they do something dumbNov 18 02:09
oiaohmDoes not work that way.Nov 18 02:09
CrystalMathlike that flat earth guy who spent $30,000 building a gyroscope to prove the earth doesn't rotateNov 18 02:09
CrystalMathand.... his results were that it does in fact rotateNov 18 02:10
CrystalMathoops :PNov 18 02:10
CrystalMathit's absolutely impossible to protect people from stupidityNov 18 02:11
oiaohmOne way a human avoids thinking for themselves is seeing something written as fact(does not have to be fact that is big problem)Nov 18 02:11
*zoobab (zoobab@vic.ffii.org) has joined #techrightsNov 18 02:11
CrystalMathbecause, stupidity is precisely cured by people not being protectedNov 18 02:12
CrystalMathnot being shelteredNov 18 02:12
CrystalMaththe more people dumb things down, the dumber people getNov 18 02:12
CrystalMath"make something idiot-proof, and nature will build a better idiot"Nov 18 02:12
oiaohmNo stupidity of humans has been the same over 2000 years as lot of these levels of stupid mistakes with documented saying something was true was false is documented in early china documents.Nov 18 02:12
oiaohmBest protection against this stupidity is regulation against writing unproven theories as fact.Nov 18 02:13
CrystalMathi think people should decide what the facts are themselvesNov 18 02:13
CrystalMathand not be toldNov 18 02:14
CrystalMathwhat the facts areNov 18 02:14
oiaohmIf something is written as a unproven theory human nature kicks in to test it.Nov 18 02:14
oiaohmUs humans like it or not we have a nature in the way our logic works.Nov 18 02:14
CrystalMathif someone wants to believe tiny gnomes make computers work, that is not my problemNov 18 02:14
CrystalMathif someone wants to make a church of tinygnomism, that's not my problem eitherNov 18 02:15
oiaohmIf they want to believe it as a person unproven theory that is fine.Nov 18 02:15
CrystalMathit only becomes a problem when i am forced to acknowledge the tiny gnomesNov 18 02:15
oiaohmIf they want to step out and say tiny gnomes are fact how computer work that is problem.Nov 18 02:15
CrystalMathi don't think it's a problem for meNov 18 02:15
CrystalMathit's a problem for themNov 18 02:15
CrystalMathbecause they're wrongNov 18 02:16
oiaohmThink the trump chain of failure.Nov 18 02:16
CrystalMathwhy are you obsessed with Trump?Nov 18 02:16
CrystalMathas i said, he did a lot of great thingsNov 18 02:16
oiaohmIts just the most recent example.Nov 18 02:16

DaemonFC[m]If you use Cinnamon on Ubuntu it's pretty much the same thing without the security update delays introduced by Mint.Nov 18 04:03
DaemonFC[m]In some cases, Ubuntu doesn't remove Debian fluff from everything, but they do compile the system themselves and they update it more often. There's a better installer with better defaults. They don't support a lot of questionable architectures, diluting QA. Then there's the whole PPA and Snap thing.Nov 18 04:07

DaemonFC[m]To be honest, PPA and Snap are a good addition to Kubuntu as well, because if Debian doesn't have it it's usually doubtful anyone has packaged it, so you can build it yourself or try pounding in an Ubuntu package that may or may not work.Nov 18 04:08

oiaohmcubexyz: CSM in UEFI I guess you mean.     Intel has techically stopped providing support versions of that.Nov 18 05:01
DaemonFC[m]It's nice to know that the people trolling Linux have their operating system upgrade fail with "something happened" because they moved the taskbar to the side of the screen, isn't it?Nov 18 05:02
DaemonFC[m]mjg59 would probably say they should make it more difficult to get it in an unsupported state. Instead of fixing the bug, they could just make it impossible to move the taskbar anywhere where it will cause the upgrade program to fail.Nov 18 05:03
DaemonFC[m]MinceR^Nov 18 05:04
oiaohmcubexyz: of course someone might decide to make like seabios as a loader on top of UEFI to bring CSM back.Nov 18 05:04
cubexyzI'm still waiting for coreboot desktop motherboards you can just buyNov 18 05:04
DaemonFC[m]I think SeaBIOS should be part of any Coreboot system in case I want to run DOS. Because it's my computer and I should be able to boot it into Real Mode DOS in 2020 if I want to.Nov 18 05:05
DaemonFC[m]mjg59 probably thinks that it's just fine to run firmware updates while a general purpose OS (including one like Windows that could suicide bomb itself any second for no reason at all) is running. So why would you ever need DOS?Nov 18 05:06
DaemonFC[m]After all, we should make it hard to get it into an unsupported state where the flash has a 99.9999% chance of going well.Nov 18 05:06
cubexyzyou could want to run a real mode OS yesNov 18 05:06
cubexyznot common but possibleNov 18 05:06
DaemonFC[m]I don't see any reason why DOS should have fallen by the wayside, really.Nov 18 05:07
oiaohmDaemonFC[m]: https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads  coreboot has 3 different bios implementations all able to run dos.   seabios, openbios and Open FirmwareNov 18 05:07

DaemonFC[m]DOS extenders could do anything. So, the user could just use DOS as a base of operations to do whatever they wanted, including load Linux. Nov 18 05:07

DaemonFC[m]Windows 2000 was the only version I had any serious uptime with.Nov 18 05:10
oiaohmBios was not really designed for 4k sector harddrives.    Dos is absolutely not designed for 4k sector harddrives.Nov 18 05:10

DaemonFC[m]You could hack around BIOS partitioning limits easily in a way that the user would never need to think about again.Nov 18 05:12
oiaohmso you need emulation to slow it down.Nov 18 05:12

DaemonFC[m]What happens then?Nov 18 05:13
cubexyzoiaohm, I have rather a lot of old PC clunkers anywaysNov 18 05:14
oiaohmThe 10TB drives are 4K drives that really don't like 512 emulation.Nov 18 05:14

DaemonFC[m]Well, nobody should like 512 emulation.Nov 18 05:15
oiaohm512 is 512 sector operations.Nov 18 05:15
DaemonFC[m]It was put into place because Microsoft didn't want to bother updating older versions of Windows.Nov 18 05:15
oiaohmYes old bios also use that for reading the bootloaders.Nov 18 05:15

cybrNautEFF does seem overly fixated on Google, and Google is the lesser of MACFANG evilsNov 18 14:55
schestowitzEFF takes money from GoogleNov 18 14:55
schestowitzit's too gentle on it at timesNov 18 14:55

schestowitzand maybe it's worth finding out who she's connected to, like who spouse works forNov 18 14:57
cybrNautWe need an EFF that has a pair of balls, and not in bed with the Tor project.  Tor project are sellouts, easily bribed by donations.  EFF respects those who bribe TorNov 18 14:58
schestowitzwe might have hit the jackpot if it can mine that deepNov 18 14:58

scientescybrNaut, I have been in this channel a long time, and also seen emotional stuff in the #talos-workstation channel, and the #1 thing I have to say is what Lawrence Lessig said: Code is Law. Focus on the code, not the people. The code is far more powerful.Nov 18 15:01
scienteswhat he said was "Code is Law"Nov 18 15:01
schestowitzfigosdev quotes the sameNov 18 15:02
schestowitzCode=conduct, practical conductNov 18 15:02
vZS1I'll keep nagging about this until the end of time. GPL is no longer effectively copyleft thanks to clown services. Old projects need to be relicensed under AGPL or orgs will run away with our foundational code.Nov 18 15:02
schestowitzlike who gets bannedNov 18 15:02
schestowitzesp. if you automate itNov 18 15:02
scientesvZS1, you are not focusing on the codeNov 18 15:03
scientesyou are all in your headNov 18 15:03
scientesand you drive away people that can codeNov 18 15:03
schestowitzthey can still be agpl-compliance and make or run derivs that do bad thingsNov 18 15:03
scientestowards using BSD licensesNov 18 15:03
schestowitzlike, you could let them rewrite webserver code to do more spying and then "Share back the changes"Nov 18 15:04
vZS1Yes. But then they are legally obligated to share modificationsNov 18 15:04
schestowitzwhich one might say even weaponises more companies like themNov 18 15:04
schestowitzvZS1: yes, even malicious modsNov 18 15:04
vZS1So you see the spyware out in the openNov 18 15:04
schestowitzand then?Nov 18 15:04
schestowitzyou cannot force them to run them sans the mods on their clownsNov 18 15:04
vZS1They are forced to give backNov 18 15:05
schestowitzso on that particular front we can at best expose or copyNov 18 15:05
vZS1That's the whole pointNov 18 15:05
schestowitzbut not forces them NOT to run some malicious coe derived off yoursNov 18 15:05
schestowitz*codeNov 18 15:05
vZS1You can't stop that with copyleftNov 18 15:05
scientesvZS1, they are *obliged*, but that doesn't mean they doNov 18 15:05
schestowitzBTWNov 18 15:05
schestowitzI got some notes on GPL violationsNov 18 15:05
schestowitzfor upcoming articldNov 18 15:06
scientesand if you don't do anything then *you* are the problemNov 18 15:06
cybrNautscientes: by /Focus on the code/, i thought you where talking about moral code, not coding, but your reply to vZS1 makes it sound like you meant programmingNov 18 15:06
schestowitz[17:58] <schestowitz> > Iโ€™m waiting for another email / message before doing so, as we have found a few GPL violations from Dolby, which seems to suggest some prior art.Nov 18 15:06
schestowitz[17:58] <schestowitz> > Nov 18 15:06
schestowitz[17:58] <schestowitz> > Many thanks for the followup. Nov 18 15:06
schestowitz[17:58] <schestowitz> If we have evidence of those violations, we can do a separate article about that.Nov 18 15:06
schestowitzThe GPL violation angle might also be of interest. Nov 18 15:06
schestowitzIf anyone out there can research thisNov 18 15:06
scientescybrNaut, I do mean programmingNov 18 15:06
schestowitzlurking/reading logsNov 18 15:06
schestowitzit's hard to locate info on thisNov 18 15:06
vZS1Right now they're having a field day doing whatever they like with GPL code, hiding behind their clownsNov 18 15:07
scientescybrNaut, but form matches function, so software can certainly effect behavior, which is also what Lessig says in the same breath with "Code is law"Nov 18 15:07
vZS1AGPL would force them to become exposedNov 18 15:07
vZS1That's why to them it's anathemaNov 18 15:07
schestowitz"Code is Conduct (Cic) :)Nov 18 15:07
scientesvZS1, not really--the communication is already there, the problem is that the software doesn't show itNov 18 15:08
schestowitzand it might not deter their useds [sic] off themNov 18 15:08
schestowitzweaken off itNov 18 15:08
schestowitzas we already saw, facebook can be 'literally nazis', addicted useds would still be usedNov 18 15:08
scientesEdward Snowden says this wellNov 18 15:08
vZS1They also can't boast about their "in-house" solutionsNov 18 15:08

scientesXRevan86, databases are a dime a dozen, what makes them money is very simple accounting softwareNov 18 15:17
schestowitzOracle has many bribery scandalsNov 18 15:17
scientesbut it means they are between the business and the moneyNov 18 15:17
XRevan86They also have Java, that's probably their biggest grip on IT.Nov 18 15:17
schestowitzsame for Microsofr and IBMNov 18 15:17
schestowitzit's easy t bribe in the public sector and get away with itNov 18 15:18

vZS1Tbf, a lot of stuff is built on JVM. Clojure, for example.Nov 18 18:10
scientesyes, Java has two languagesNov 18 18:10

DaemonFC[m]RE: systemd taking no responsibility for anything.Nov 18 22:46
DaemonFC[m]Yet another reason to be on a long term support distribution where they carefully backport certain patches only.Nov 18 22:46
DaemonFC[m]In addition to broken kernel series, Fedora will throw in random cherry picks from systemd that cause severe issues when they're really not worth the risk.Nov 18 22:47
DaemonFC[m]Unless it's a serious crasher, a sizable memory leak, or has security implications, leave it the hell alone.Nov 18 22:48
DaemonFC[m]Unfortunately, systemd is so poorly designed that there are hundreds if not thousands of THOSE over an Ubuntu LTS lifespan that have to be dealt with.Nov 18 22:48

vZS1Go is actually very good in the sense that it had a spec and a solid reference implementationNov 18 23:42
vZS1s/had/hasNov 18 23:42
vZS1Raku also good, in that regardNov 18 23:43
*cubexyz (~cubeman@maxhost.org) has joined #techrightsNov 18 23:44
vZS1Haskell also Nov 18 23:45
vZS1Rust has no spec and that's what really put me off taking the language seriouslyNov 18 23:45
vZS1You can't keep up with a language that has no specification and is constantly changing. Only the language architects know what's going on, at that point.Nov 18 23:47
vZS1"Just do things like this. You don't need to understand how it is supposed to work."Nov 18 23:52
