cubexyzseems like a major changeDec 22 00:00
XRevan86cubexyz: Fedora is a distro that adopts new stuff supported by Red Hat first, that's its thing.Dec 22 00:00
MinceRit's red hat's even less stable distro, it's to be expected to be the first to try and stuff cancerd down users' throatsDec 22 00:00
cubexyzbut that doesn't answer why so many of the other distros also used systemdDec 22 00:01
DaemonFC[m]Canonical briefly considered just using SMF from Solaris for init.Dec 22 00:01
MinceRbecause they're made by people who don't know what they're doingDec 22 00:02
MinceR"ooh, shiny! let's throw it into "stable" immediately!"Dec 22 00:02
cubexyzbut not AIX or HP-UXDec 22 00:03
XRevan86cubexyz: systemd is a strictly Linux thing.Dec 22 00:03
cubexyzseems it's part of the linux world, yesDec 22 00:03
XRevan86cubexyz: Not "seems", it's systemd's design.Dec 22 00:04
MinceRI'd like to interject. What you call Linux is actually just a kernel. Without systemd, it can't do anything at all, so I have recently started calling it systemd-kerneld. Yes, there really is a Linux, but we must give credit to the other software that makes up a complete system.Dec 22 00:04
XRevan86tightly dependent on LinuxDec 22 00:04
MinceRLooking at the package count on a modern systemd-kerneld distribution, you'll find that systemd is nearly half of all packages. If you go by source lines of code, Linux, or kerneld, is only 9%. Dec 22 00:04
XRevan86cubexyz: The farthest from Linux systemd is going to get is Microsoft WSL %). But not technically.Dec 22 00:06
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: systemd is mainly a way to get as much stuff out of the kernel and to where Red Hat directly controls it as possible.Dec 22 00:06
cubexyzthere's something called UbuntuBSD :)Dec 22 00:06
DaemonFC[m]Then it doesn't matter if they control the kernel itself.Dec 22 00:06
cubexyza schism :)Dec 22 00:06
XRevan86cubexyz: Sounds absolutely doomed.Dec 22 00:06
DaemonFC[m]Well, most distributions seem to be building x265 wrong.Dec 22 00:07
XRevan86expired domain, figuredDec 22 00:07
DaemonFC[m]Only Clear Linux and FreeBSD and DragonFly BSD did well according to Phoronix.Dec 22 00:07
DaemonFC[m]Most Linux distributions could encode 49 fps on his test system and the BSDs and Clear Linux managed like 75.Dec 22 00:07
XRevan86cubexyz: Telling by their Twitter account, they started the project in 2016, a year where it was already obvious that's doomed. Not very smart folks.Dec 22 00:08
cubexyzXRevan86, I just like to see what's out thereDec 22 00:09
DaemonFC[m]That suggests if you're helping your neighbors by dumping Blu Rays, you should build your own x265 or use a system that built it correctly.Dec 22 00:09
MinceRwas building anything on ubuntu ever smart? :>Dec 22 00:09
DaemonFC[m]Blu Ray sources are h264 or (much less frequently) MPEG 2 or VC1, but always at such an insane bitrate that they survive being transcoded and crunched down to a manageable size with x265 pretty darned well.Dec 22 00:10
XRevan86cubexyz: Not a bad motive :). But this is misplaced attention.Dec 22 00:10
DaemonFC[m]Ultra HD Blu Ray makes a lot of existing televisions and stuff obsolete with its nastier DRM, but that's been broken too apparently.Dec 22 00:10
cubexyzI keep going back to slackware or vectorDec 22 00:11
XRevan86cubexyz: systemd is not going to run not on Linux, Ubuntu is systemd-only.Dec 22 00:11
XRevan86If Devuan is struggling for survival, imagine something based on Ubuntu.Dec 22 00:11
XRevan86ArchBSD is more believable as some people maintain multiple init systems in AUR. Which is still problematic, I'm not sure which ones still have a community, but at least that's something.Dec 22 00:13
XRevan86and it died in 2017Dec 22 00:14

MinceRprobably just to express the reactionDec 22 02:09
cubexyzthe computer of choice for posers :)Dec 22 02:12
DaemonFC[m]The Mac is a just an expensive trap that snares yoi and forces you to buy other junk or else it won't agree to interface with it.Dec 22 02:13
DaemonFC[m]Like everything else Apple makes.Dec 22 02:13
cubexyzprobably no one remembers now, but in 1977 the Apple II was $1,298Dec 22 02:14
cubexyznow convert that to 2019 dollars...Dec 22 02:14
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, and for the first 4 years of that consider the US was in hyperinflation.Dec 22 02:14
cubexyz$1,298 in 1977 converts to $5,509.17 for 2019Dec 22 02:15
DaemonFC[m]So the money lost half it's value already by 1982. Communuty riffed on that where they find a guy that's been in a bunker since the 1970s and he says he has 3 million dollars but it probably wasn't worth anything because of Nixon.Dec 22 02:16

DaemonFC[m]Fuck her.Dec 22 07:42
DaemonFC[m]It's the store's fault that the book got out before it was supposed to be sold. Sue them. Getting a court to order people not to read is fucking stupid. How are you going to enforce that?  You're just showing what a cunt you are if you do that.Dec 22 07:43

DaemonFC[m]Well, lots of people got together and ran off copies in their VCRs and traded them with other parents instead, ao the vault idea probably hurt sales, but Disney would never admit it.Dec 22 07:58

XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: This is way above my head.Dec 22 21:03
DaemonFC[m]Errr, I'm tired.Dec 22 21:04
DaemonFC[m]The flat tax is what I meant to say.Dec 22 21:04
DaemonFC[m]A flat tax of 10.5% is one figure I heardDec 22 21:04
XRevan86> The FairTax proposal is regressive on income (using a cross-section time frame) and progressive on sales. Classical economic analysis indicates that the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) decreases as income increases. Households at the lower end of the income scale spend almost all their income, while households at the higher end are more likely to devote a portion of income to saving.Dec 22 21:04
DaemonFC[m]That's not really that much different than what a single person no kids working at Walmart pays now.Dec 22 21:05
DaemonFC[m]But some rich people deduct their way down to jsut a few percent under our current system by gaming it.Dec 22 21:05
DaemonFC[m]I think a flat tax would be much more fair. It's not fair that a guy with no kids working at McDonalds has to pay more taxes because someone who couldn't afford kids gets $1 million per child in tax cuts and welfare over 18 years.Dec 22 21:06
DaemonFC[m]Welfare is anything from free school lunches, to housing vouchers, to "free" high speed internet at home, food stamps, medicaid, public school, etc.Dec 22 21:06
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: Well, that's easier. Flat taxation is bureaucratically simpler, but favours the rich as the richer one gets the less important a certain constant percentage gets.Dec 22 21:07
DaemonFC[m]"Free public school" is a pot that anyone with kids can dip into so it's very popular welfare.Dec 22 21:07
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: Flat taxation != tax cuts for certain groupsDec 22 21:07
DaemonFC[m]At 10.5%, a person who makes a million dollars pays $105,000 in taxes.Dec 22 21:07
DaemonFC[m]While a person who makes $25,000 pays $2625.Dec 22 21:08
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: Free public schools is an extremely important part of social justice, to ensure that everyone has a chance at education.Dec 22 21:08
DaemonFC[m]If you want to add a bit of progressivity so that people don't scream, you could say "Everyone gets a $1,000 rebate each year that goes up with inflation.".Dec 22 21:09
XRevan86unless there's some other instrument that ensures that even the most marginalised groups have a way to get educationDec 22 21:09

DaemonFC[m]The problem with public schools is they have to take everyone, so they end up dealing with violent fuck ups who are just taking up space and going to prison when they grow up.Dec 22 21:10

DaemonFC[m]Look, it's not cold to say "Hey, get a job and don't expect me to pay for your kids.". What we need to do is grow the economy and pass moral wage laws.Dec 22 21:14
DaemonFC[m]So that way there are actually opportunities for people.Dec 22 21:14
XRevan86schestowitz: It is.Dec 22 21:14

DaemonFC[m]Health care is one thing where I think we need to look into nationalizing it.Dec 22 21:14
DaemonFC[m]That doesn't mean free ride for everyone. Single payer just means single payer.Dec 22 21:15
DaemonFC[m]The insurance companies add no value and skim money for themselves, and they need to go away.Dec 22 21:15

*psydroid has no plans to move from Intel to AMD, but rather to ARM, RISC-V and POWERDec 22 21:17
DaemonFC[m]Well, GCC is currently very broken on POWER and POWER is expensive.Dec 22 21:18
DaemonFC[m]RISC-V...Where do you even get it?Dec 22 21:18
DaemonFC[m]Most affordable ARM systems need custom kernels and binary blobs.Dec 22 21:18
DaemonFC[m]GCC can't build MAME and Firefox's JIT javascript is currrently not working on POWER when you build it with GCC.Dec 22 21:18
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: To an outside observer it looks like the US has more expensive healthcare with insurance than almost anywhere else without insurance, rendering the whole US insurance system a big scam.Dec 22 21:19
psydroidI'm running mainline everything on my ARM SBCDec 22 21:19

DaemonFC[m]The Pinebook has blobs.Dec 22 21:19
DaemonFC[m]That's why it's running a "variant" of Debian 9.Dec 22 21:19
DaemonFC[m]By blob, I mean proprietary graphics drivers and stuff like that.Dec 22 21:20
DaemonFC[m]Not firmware, which most systems need.Dec 22 21:20

DaemonFC[m]AMD at least provides an x86 platform that's cheaper and more reliable than Intel.Dec 22 21:35
DaemonFC[m]So that's not nothing.Dec 22 21:35
DaemonFC[m]Intel is nastier than ever lately. They are obviously putting bugs in their products so they can "fix" them later to disastrous results, and the implication is that your laptop is old and you need to buy another one. Because there's no other way to sell new hardware every few years. It's very crooked.Dec 22 21:36

psydroidI don't want to participate in advancing a duopoly, that's why I've been venturing out to other architectures over the years. It started when I first got my hands on a Chinese Loongson desktop and later on I got other hardware as well. I still have my Intel laptops and I'll see what I'll get in the future, probably not Intel and only if necessary AMD.Dec 22 21:42

XRevan86kaniini: Hi, I've been remembering some stuff, and do I recall it right that Mastodon used to send private notices through OStatus and to everyone subscribed?Dec 22 22:36
oiaohmDaemonFC[m]: other problem is lack of a good heat spreader under the cpu.  so straight on desk or lap not exactly fun.Dec 22 22:40
oiaohmIe the case is the direct cpu heatsink/spreader.Dec 22 22:40
oiaohmSo you can really find out where the cpu is without opening it.Dec 22 22:41
kaniiniXRevan86: yes, via salmonsDec 22 22:41
DaemonFC[m]Well, Lenovo tried throttling the CPU while it was on your lap. Works in Windows.Dec 22 22:42
oiaohmHeat pipes fans other other spreading tech costs money,Dec 22 22:42
DaemonFC[m]When you put Linux on those systems, it just sticks it in low speed mode all the time.Dec 22 22:42
MinceRcrApple just tells you not to use your laptop in your lapDec 22 22:42
MinceR(while ads still show people using it in their lap)Dec 22 22:42
oiaohmMinceR: some models they go the step more into stupid by having a fake fan.Dec 22 22:43
oiaohmwith apple.Dec 22 22:43
oiaohmDaemonFC[m]: some of those lenovo ones when you check the cpu temp and compare against recommend intel temps Linux mode that is crippled to hell is running at correct temp and Windows mode the driver has told it to exceeed intel recommend temp for the cpu.Dec 22 22:45
oiaohmThat one of those cases why does the windows machine before better than Linux.  Bugger me.Dec 22 22:45
MinceRwhat could possibly go wrong?Dec 22 22:46
MinceRsounds like consumer crap lenovos thoughDec 22 22:46
DaemonFC[m]With Intel, who knows what this means?Dec 22 22:46
DaemonFC[m]Perhaps Intel recommended not to exceed a temp that they set too low on purpose.Dec 22 22:46
DaemonFC[m]That way when they don't exceed that temp on Linux, they Totally Aren't Sabotaging Linux.Dec 22 22:47
DaemonFC[m]Then again, from Lenovo's perspective, making their Windows laptop faster has two main results.Dec 22 22:47
DaemonFC[m]It gets it into your home....where it dies of heat just after the warranty ended and now you need a new laptop.Dec 22 22:48
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: So it really is who do you think is a bigger bucket of scum. Lenovo or Intel?Dec 22 22:48
DaemonFC[m]Hard to guess.Dec 22 22:48
MinceRyeahDec 22 22:48
MinceRi'd say intelDec 22 22:48
MinceRlenovo did that yoga with the ssd lying about what it wasDec 22 22:49
MinceRintel did uefi, boot guard, me...Dec 22 22:49
MinceRoh, and officially winblows-only cpusDec 22 22:49
MinceRand those ultra-shitty atoms with 32bit uefiDec 22 22:49
DaemonFC[m]They probably exceed the specified temperature on Windows because it's what it takes to overcome the fact that Windows is 20% slower than Linux, all things being equal.Dec 22 22:49
MinceRand the winblows user will just throw it out and buy a new one when the cpu turns into smoke?Dec 22 22:50
oiaohmWith intel they don't set the temp too low they.,   If you get a silicon from tsmc made at equivalent nm you get the same recommend max temp.Dec 22 22:50
DaemonFC[m]Oh, Windows is 20% slower? Well, we just overclock the processor 20% and.....no problem.Dec 22 22:50
DaemonFC[m]> and the winblows user will just throw it out and buy a new one when the cpu turns into smoke?Dec 22 22:51
DaemonFC[m]That is pretty much what happens. Yeah.Dec 22 22:51
oiaohmBasically there are physical things about silicon chips that define what temp you should run at if you want decent life.Dec 22 22:51
MinceRyeah, but tsmc isn't the one struggling to downscale their process :>Dec 22 22:51
DaemonFC[m]No, AMD beat Intel to 14 nm iirc.Dec 22 22:51
DaemonFC[m]Like, by a lot.Dec 22 22:51
oiaohmDaemonFC[m]: amd is using tsmc for 7nm.Dec 22 22:52
DaemonFC[m]Now Intel keeps saying they wanted 7 nm, and cant make it work 3 years late, and so they'll go to 10.Dec 22 22:52
oiaohmAmd could not go down to 7nm with everything 7nmDec 22 22:52
oiaohmThat why you have a 14nm io dia in the new chips.Dec 22 22:52
DaemonFC[m]It's getting to the point where they are struggling to make better laptops so they just downgrade the one you have with "security patches" or kill it entirely so you have to buy a new one.Dec 22 22:52
oiaohmoPPS sorry its 12nmDec 22 22:53
MinceRthe new one will be just as slow with the patches, thoughDec 22 22:53
oiaohmThere is a problem here.Dec 22 22:53
DaemonFC[m]Those ultra high end 32 core desktops can be slowed down 30% and you won't notice, but a laptop with 2 cores...you'll notice.Dec 22 22:53
oiaohmThere is still 120nm made for power circuits.Dec 22 22:53
oiaohmin silicon.Dec 22 22:53
oiaohmsmaller nm you got to the less volatage you can push around simply.Dec 22 22:54
oiaohmSome how I think 7nm might not be able to handle enough volatage to dependably push across motherboard tracks.Dec 22 22:54
oiaohmvoltage/amperageDec 22 22:55
oiaohmIntel has been attempting to single chip there 10nm and 7nm chip efforts.    They have talked about going multi chip like amd recently.Dec 22 22:59

oiaohmand you see instructions from google like reset device or replace device Dec 22 23:04
oiaohmDoes make me wonder if some devices are shipped out in mode to spy every so often even if no ok google is said.Dec 22 23:05
XRevan86oiaohm: Isn't listening for "ok, google" enough for that already?Dec 22 23:16
XRevan86Responding to "ok, google" technically isn't a special case.Dec 22 23:18
XRevan86Listen → parse → if got "ok, google", then activate interactivity → listen → parseDec 22 23:19
DaemonFC[m]AT&T is actually much worse than Sprint.Dec 22 23:27
DaemonFC[m]At least Sprint really is $45 a month and admits the iPhone is $46 a month instead of AT&T giving you a "free" one and a $150 bill that came from nowhere apparently.Dec 22 23:28
MinceRthe first parse probably happens on the device thoughDec 22 23:34
MinceRwhile the second happens on google's servers (and the nsa gets a copy)Dec 22 23:34
