[18:07] MinceR not even xcompmgr [18:08] schestowitz MinceR: yes, but rarely of use in practice [18:08] Ariadne enjoy your state of the 80s computer graphics ;) [18:08] MinceR i enjoy it actually [18:08] schestowitz I remember when x was bashed for ram consumption [18:08] MinceR i don't need transparent windows [18:08] schestowitz but even today's co-called phones have GIGS of RAM [18:08] Ariadne anyway, wayland is necessary for 0-copy compositing [18:08] MinceR i tried beryl, compiz and kde4, they were all massively buggy and glitchy [18:09] schestowitz plasma5 is ok [18:09] schestowitz kwin has some basic effects [18:09] schestowitz no bugs I can see in these, not even gpu-related tears [18:09] MinceR i think i tried compton for a while but realized i didn't need any of the features [18:09] Ariadne tear-free rendering is nice on kwin under wayland [18:09] Ariadne i just wish that my gpu would quit stalling [18:09] Ariadne idk if it is hardware or intel gpu driver sucking tho [18:10] MinceR not triggering gpu driver bugs and crashing the entire system regularly is also nice :> [18:10] schestowitz nice to know another kde user anyway... they lost many users after kde 4.0 [18:10] MinceR yeah, they've lost me with kde 4.0 and 4.3 [18:10] schestowitz I still use kde4 on one old laptop [18:10] MinceR "look, it's finally as good as kde 3.5 was!" [18:10] schestowitz (the one I use for IRC) [18:10] MinceR and then plasma crashed and lost all its settings [18:10] MinceR and then i set up plasma again [18:10] MinceR and then plasma crashed and lost all its settings again [18:10] schestowitz yeah, that used to happen [18:10] MinceR and then they announced systemd support in kde5 [18:11] MinceR and i lost interest in kde [18:11] schestowitz who supports who? [18:11] schestowitz systemd supports kde5? [18:11] MinceR :> [18:11] MinceR no [18:11] schestowitz how kind of them [18:11] MinceR kde is just useful idiots to the gnome os people [18:11] MinceR first kde starts to depend on systemd [18:11] schestowitz I use xfce4 now also, it's solid [18:11] MinceR then systemd yanks kde around by its chain [18:11] MinceR then kde dies and its users happily move to gnome [18:11] MinceR xfce used to be solid [18:12] schestowitz xfce doesn't look as good, but I found out lots of ways to make it look a lot better [18:12] MinceR then it started crashing every time i removed a panel [18:12] MinceR then it got a settings daemon [18:12] MinceR because every "modern" DE has to have a settings daemon [18:12] MinceR so when it crashes because you're trying to change settings, it's not enough to just edit the config file and restart the application [18:12] schestowitz back in the old days I combined kde and gnome [18:12] schestowitz as in, run the panels of both [18:13] schestowitz and widgets [18:13] MinceR you also need to kill the app and settings daemon, then edit the file, then restart the settings daemon and the app [18:13] schestowitz afaik, it's barely possible anymore, there are conflicting things [18:13] MinceR i did that too [18:13] schestowitz you can do kde+openbox [18:13] MinceR but back then both gnome and kde were designed for actual use [18:13] schestowitz by geeks [18:13] MinceR and not just showing stuff off before deciding to buy a mac [18:14] schestowitz plasma5 restored all the things kde3 had [18:14] MinceR i doubt that [18:14] schestowitz even all the window- and application-specific settings [18:14] schestowitz you might take longer to find them, it's hidden behind more menu layers [18:14] schestowitz konqueror is also still working [18:14] schestowitz dolphin is a lot more stable. in 4.0 is was a mess [18:15] Ariadne plasma5 is pretty solid tbh [18:15] schestowitz it is for me [18:15] schestowitz leaks a little ram after months of use [18:15] MinceR fvwm is pretty solid [18:15] schestowitz rianne has 4gb of ram so restarts it maybe once a month or every 2 months to flush down the unused ram [18:15] MinceR and it mostly does what i want it to do [18:15] schestowitz MinceR: but lacking many things [18:15] MinceR no, not really [18:15] schestowitz openbox was OK for me [18:16] MinceR it can do things nothing else can [18:16] schestowitz when I had 2 GB of RAM until last Feb [18:16] MinceR like EdgeScroll :) [18:16] schestowitz using tiling WMs seems to work for heavy terminal use [18:16] MinceR fvwm is not a tiling wm [18:16] schestowitz I enabled that in xfce4 [18:16] schestowitz but you need to edit text files for it [18:16] schestowitz or run a command [18:17] MinceR though i've written a script that lets me resize/move windows into positions in a grid [18:17] schestowitz you can resize and change anything with xdotool [18:17] schestowitz I use xdotool a lot [18:18] schestowitz another reason I cannot use wayland [18:18] schestowitz maybe ever! [18:18] schestowitz xclip is another [18:18] schestowitz xinput [18:18] MinceR i did it with wmctrl [18:18] schestowitz lots of x tools [18:18] schestowitz but Mac users coming to gnu/linux might be fine with wayland [18:18] schestowitz so bye x [18:18] schestowitz let's go mac [18:18] MinceR and gnome [18:19] MinceR though i can't tell why mac users would go to systemd/Linux or GNU/Linux [18:19] Ariadne there is wtype which does same thing as xdotool [18:19] MinceR they're already where Gnome OS is going [18:19] MinceR (to hell) [18:20] schestowitz Ariadne: I'd need to rewrite programs :-D [18:22] techrights-bot #Texas became a laughing stock of the #patent system and those profiting from the abuse of the system in Texas (law firms) sponsor this write to act as though all is well, nothing to see here... https://patentlyo.com/patent/2021/03/albright-discretion-midland.html [18:22] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-patentlyo.com | Texas is Big: Albright did not Abuse Discretion in Moving Case from Midland to Waco. | Patently-O [18:23] MinceR oh, also, most waylandows implementations depend on *logind, which is another abomination [18:23] MinceR someone i know noticed how bad elogind was when it started killing his processes on logout [18:23] MinceR something he did not ask for [18:25] techrights-bot #OSI is a mess https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/22/osi_vote_vulnerability/ see http://techrights.org/2021/03/21/leaderless-osi/ [18:25] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.theregister.com | Open Source Initiative board election results scrapped after security hole found, exploited to rig outcome The Register [18:25] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Open Source Initiative (OSI): A Boat Without a Captain | Techrights [18:26] schestowitz MinceR: kill signal?

[18:29] MinceR service is analogous to running stuff from /etc/init.d/ [18:29] MinceR systemctl has subcommands, including start and stop [18:29] schestowitz yeah, but my point is, [18:29] schestowitz they bury old habits [18:29] schestowitz old commands [18:29] schestowitz for poor people the old books, which are old, [18:30] schestowitz are of no use anymore [18:30] MinceR i wouldn't mind that, if they didn't put their malicious stuff into what used to be GNU/Linux and Debian [18:30] schestowitz I guess IBM "inclusiveness" didn't exactly have them in mind [18:30] schestowitz reprogram and retrain [18:30] MinceR let them develop their windows/macos mashup separately [18:30] schestowitz like CHina does Muslims [18:30] MinceR yeah [18:30] Ariadne [12:26:51] and since elogind is derived from systemd-logind, the misfeature also went right across [18:30] MinceR they're inclusive only of people who push the agenda of their upper management [18:30] Ariadne alpine is working on an alternative to logind :) [18:30] schestowitz they don't make things easy much of the time [18:30] MinceR nice [18:31] schestowitz they create overlapping and conflicting systems [18:31] MinceR though i also like xenocara and xenodm :> [18:31] schestowitz how many sound systems does Firefox still support?

So those who attack RMS at the moment basically attack the FSF as a concept. We can deduce what they hope to accomplish.

Turns out "it's about "In 2015 and 2016 RMS made three posts on his website about Downs syndrome."" First, they accuse him of being "autistic" (no diagnosis) and now say he's against those people; make up your minds, trolls. Self contradictory!

They mock and disgrace people. Based on what they call "ableism". I think they're just angry at everyone and fail to see their own hypocrisy; rejecting their very own standards, which they're happy to impose only on others.... [23:24] techrights-bot A lot of the anti-RMS crusade boils down to two things: 1) jealousy and 2) the employer's salary. There's no MONEY in promoting freedom and it bothers people when they realise accumulation money isn't happiness. Universally true.
