activelow | 1) this causes clipping of your voice, and 2) i have to lower the volume control slider here to 0.01% and it is too loud nonetheless. | Jun 27 00:17 |
schestowitz | it's because of noisetorch | Jun 27 00:18 |
schestowitz | I use a microphone on the laptop | Jun 27 00:18 |
activelow | if you want it leveled hot it should be lowered -6dB, for normal levels -12dB or more | Jun 27 00:18 |
schestowitz | and the only way to avoid noise it to set threshold | Jun 27 00:18 |

activelow | the audio issue is more distracting | Jun 27 00:26 |
schestowitz | i know | Jun 27 00:26 |
activelow | schestowitz: if you want i can pipe your videos through a script and renormalize them, can't fix the clipping | Jun 27 00:27 |
schestowitz | I'd need a proper mic for better audio | Jun 27 00:28 |

schestowitz | they're expensive | Jun 27 00:29 |

activelow | all you need is bs1770gain, don't know if it is in debian repos | Jun 27 00:30 |
activelow | before recording it is important audio signal does not clip | Jun 27 00:30 |
activelow | and later then bs1770gain can raise or drop a few decibels without damaging the audio | Jun 27 00:31 |
schestowitz | I think it's based on a misunderstanding | Jun 27 00:31 |
schestowitz | the pipeline is like this | Jun 27 00:31 |
schestowitz | sit close to laptop | Jun 27 00:31 |
schestowitz | eliminate all sound below a threshold | Jun 27 00:32 |
schestowitz | speak loudly | Jun 27 00:32 |
schestowitz | and this way the noise is mostly removed | Jun 27 00:32 |
schestowitz | no video editing or filtering, as that slows things down | Jun 27 00:32 |
activelow | it is post-processing, leveling down the microphone slider maybe 3dB should help alot with clipping | Jun 27 00:34 |
*DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Jun 27 00:34 | |
activelow | clipping doesn't remove the noise anyway | Jun 27 00:34 |
schestowitz | or maybe one day I'll buy an expensive mic | Jun 27 00:35 |
schestowitz | I tried to find some second hand | Jun 27 00:35 |
cubexyz/fn | if anything microsoft are the hyenas | Jun 27 00:35 |
schestowitz | could not find any around here, and there's coronavirus limiting access | Jun 27 00:35 |
schestowitz | activelow: thanks for the suggestions, I will consider them | Jun 27 00:35 |
schestowitz | the core issue is, the microphone is cheap built-in crap | Jun 27 00:35 |
schestowitz | buying a not expensive one isn't the solution | Jun 27 00:36 |
activelow | i think almost any microphone closer to the audio emitter (mouth) should help alot already | Jun 27 00:36 |
schestowitz | as it would cost money for only a minor improvement, not a real solution | Jun 27 00:36 |
activelow | and avoiding clipping during recording | Jun 27 00:36 |
schestowitz | but anyway, I also think what matters most is not the audio | Jun 27 00:36 |
schestowitz | I already recompress it in the pipeline | Jun 27 00:36 |
schestowitz | so the sound quality will go down regardless | Jun 27 00:37 |
schestowitz | for the sake of transfer speed | Jun 27 00:37 |
schestowitz | this latest video was 200MB originally | Jun 27 00:37 |
schestowitz | reduced to about 50 | Jun 27 00:37 |
schestowitz | this ruined quality of audio and video | Jun 27 00:37 |
cubexyz/fn | wow, Frank Boosman was former Be exec | Jun 27 00:37 |
activelow | voice compression isn't too criticial, if the signal isn't clipped | Jun 27 00:37 |
cubexyz/fn | that seems wrong, got to double check | Jun 27 00:37 |
schestowitz | it's clipped by threshold | Jun 27 00:38 |
activelow | if a clipped signal (analog and/or digital) is routed into a compressor clipping is even worse since a compressor/postprocessing clips again | Jun 27 00:38 |
schestowitz | I can try to lower the threshold | Jun 27 00:39 |
cubexyz/fn | huh, VP developer relations jan 1998, it's true | Jun 27 00:39 |
schestowitz | but any changes would require much testing | Jun 27 00:39 |
schestowitz | maybe I'll try tomorrow | Jun 27 00:39 |
schestowitz | either way, it's not HD and "gear pr0n" | Jun 27 00:40 |
schestowitz | it's about the substance | Jun 27 00:40 |
schestowitz | gn all | Jun 27 00:40 |
activelow | sleep well | Jun 27 00:40 |
cubexyz/fn | schestowitz, I'm not sure Boosman was a microsoft guy | Jun 27 00:40 |
cubexyz/fn | so my impressions are wrong here I think | Jun 27 00:40 |
schestowitz | maybe 3 hours only, I try to do 3+3 day+night | Jun 27 00:40 |

DaemonFC | "It’s a great detail of an analog gate. Atlantis gates on the other hand…" | Jun 27 01:45 |
DaemonFC | The Milky Way gates have this ability, but the prototype gates (Destiny) didn't and the Atlantis ones also have no inner ring. | Jun 27 01:46 |
DaemonFC | "According to one time travel episode we only need a some car batteries and then we can dial the gate manually by rotating the ring" | Jun 27 01:48 |
DaemonFC | Actually, they wired up about half a dozen army trucks to it and let the generators on the trucks send power to the gate, which we already know stores energy from all kinds of things. | Jun 27 01:49 |
activelow | what are you talking about? | Jun 27 01:49 |

schestowitz | my conclusion was not positive | Jun 27 14:35 |
schestowitz | we branched out to a self-hosted network. Then he started removing "toxic" things... starting with 700 channels for 'offending' /topic | Jun 27 14:36 |
XRevan86 | Did he reply "cartel, brother"? | Jun 27 14:36 |
schestowitz | * Fuchs (fuchs@libera/staff/Fuchs) has left #techrights (Part) | Jun 27 14:36 |
schestowitz | just now in LC | Jun 27 14:37 |
schestowitz | I think he's OK, he has been lurking there for a while | Jun 27 14:37 |
schestowitz | XRevan86: no, he was more professional than that | Jun 27 14:37 |
*liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Jun 27 14:37 | |
*rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Jun 27 14:37 | |
schestowitz | but he lives in a fantasy world | Jun 27 14:37 |
schestowitz | This reminds me of EPO and I'll explain why | Jun 27 14:38 |
schestowitz | people warn that certain people must not be put in position of power/charge | Jun 27 14:38 |
schestowitz | as was the case with Battistelli | Jun 27 14:38 |
schestowitz | even French people warned about this | Jun 27 14:38 |
schestowitz | once they seize power, THIS IS IT. It's destroyed. | Jun 27 14:38 |
schestowitz | some Free software orgs and projects were like that too. | Jun 27 14:39 |
blitzed | congratz setting up IRC, cuz yeah duh! freenode has long been a cesspool | Jun 27 14:39 |
XRevan86 | schestowitz: l0de said that he thinks that rasengan has an ace in his sleeve (paraphrasing), and maybe in that fantasy world of his mind he does. | Jun 27 14:39 |
schestowitz | since when? | Jun 27 14:39 |
blitzed | same with oftc | Jun 27 14:39 |
schestowitz | It was OK last year | Jun 27 14:39 |
schestowitz | I heard oftc and freenode (same staff) started doing foss purges months ago | Jun 27 14:40 |
schestowitz | to 'shape' the movement | Jun 27 14:40 |
blitzed | nah, far too many knuckleheads | Jun 27 14:40 |
schestowitz | that's not what struck rasengan though | Jun 27 14:40 |
schestowitz | it had nothing to do with wings | Jun 27 14:40 |
*rianne_ (~rianne@22e8m8t4gqjin.irc) has joined #techrights | Jun 27 14:40 | |
schestowitz | if oftc and freenode cannot offer salaries, they're less likely to attract accountable people | Jun 27 14:41 |
blitzed | freenode should only care about opensource, but for long time political SJW garbage completely off topic | Jun 27 14:41 |
schestowitz | the entry to barrier would be lower | Jun 27 14:41 |
schestowitz | Free software should be about Free software | Jun 27 14:41 |
blitzed | I do not much care for the modern internet | Jun 27 14:41 |
schestowitz | The FSF, and its current president, stressed that | Jun 27 14:42 |
*liberty_box (~liberty@22e8m8t4gqjin.irc) has joined #techrights | Jun 27 14:42 | |
schestowitz | EFF is self-nuking now | Jun 27 14:42 |
schestowitz | it's infiltrated by political campaigner who don't care much about tech | Jun 27 14:42 |
blitzed | WWW was better when it was in fact hyper text *LOL* | Jun 27 14:42 |
schestowitz | Same in Mozilla (board and management) | Jun 27 14:42 |
blitzed | yupperz | Jun 27 14:42 |
schestowitz | you need not look any further than the Firefox blog and Mozilla blog | Jun 27 14:42 |
schestowitz | they think Firefox is dying because they're not doing enough politics | Jun 27 14:43 |
schestowitz | but they really just dive deeper underground every time they interject politics | Jun 27 14:43 |
blitzed | Firefox rakes in $500mil from the google monster | Jun 27 14:43 |
schestowitz | they're NOT obliged to | Jun 27 14:43 |
schestowitz | they could instead focus on the tech | Jun 27 14:43 |
schestowitz | blitzed: we are on gemini:// | Jun 27 14:43 |
schestowitz | gemini://gemini.techrights.org/ | Jun 27 14:44 |
schestowitz | a lot cleaner and faster | Jun 27 14:44 |
schestowitz | we try to encourage people to give that a try, but recognise that old habits stick hard | Jun 27 14:44 |
blitzed | I got tired of having to disable so much in about:config...I washed my hands of Firefox when I discovered their newtab feature ignored my NoScript & uBlock Origin addons | Jun 27 14:44 |
blitzed | yup gemini holds promise | Jun 27 14:44 |
schestowitz | I just wasted an hour on firefox last night | Jun 27 14:44 |
schestowitz | you cannot even hide the address bar anymore or put it in the same line as the tabs | Jun 27 14:45 |
schestowitz | it used to be possible and many users complain | Jun 27 14:45 |
schestowitz | this is what they complain about, not how much Mozilla blogs about BLM and stuff | Jun 27 14:45 |
schestowitz | Mozilla doesn't seem to understand or does not want to understand why it's floundering | Jun 27 14:45 |
schestowitz | I spent over an hour on this crap | Jun 27 14:45 |
blitzed | anyway one day I discovered google analytics in my RAM...so yeah unique browser ID & fingerprinting in conjunction with pulling into google javascript...you could VPN all you want, but they'd you popup anywhere | Jun 27 14:46 |
blitzed | yeah, some things in about:config, try to alter them, they regress like a virus *LOL* | Jun 27 14:47 |
schestowitz | about:config is a bad design | Jun 27 14:47 |
schestowitz | they hide settings | Jun 27 14:47 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-librewolf.readthedocs.io | LibreWolf | Jun 27 14:47 | |
schestowitz | now the settings are a WEB PAGE | Jun 27 14:47 |
schestowitz | without even a button to save | Jun 27 14:47 |
blitzed | hehe | Jun 27 14:47 |
schestowitz | so you cannot regret and undo something you did | Jun 27 14:47 |
schestowitz | they just copy Google's mistakes | Jun 27 14:47 |
schestowitz | including hiding https:// | Jun 27 14:48 |
schestowitz | because now it's google:// | Jun 27 14:48 |
blitzed | precisely, let's do like the competition! | Jun 27 14:48 |
schestowitz | sometimes I copy URLs from Firefox and they then lack the much-needed protocol | Jun 27 14:48 |
blitzed | now WWW is WordPress sites... | Jun 27 14:48 |
schestowitz | maybe eventually firefox will be identical to chrome, with hamburger menus and all, except geckot | Jun 27 14:48 |
schestowitz | then moving off gecko will be simpler | Jun 27 14:49 |
blitzed | Palemoon is my daily driver | Jun 27 14:49 |
schestowitz | They'll rebrand it Phonon or something, Chromium Baker Edition(r) | Jun 27 14:49 |

schestowitz | Palemoon needs more users to survive | Jun 27 14:50 |
schestowitz | it still relies on upstream | Jun 27 14:50 |
schestowitz | mozilla won't keep supplying it for long | Jun 27 14:50 |
blitzed | Palemoon is detached from Mozilla long ago | Jun 27 14:50 |
schestowitz | for me, getting off html/https asap is the way to get | Jun 27 14:50 |
schestowitz | asap | Jun 27 14:50 |
schestowitz | cannot do that fast enough | Jun 27 14:50 |
schestowitz | blitzed: it's not detached from gecko and sites that design for the latest gecko | Jun 27 14:51 |
schestowitz | (if at all) | Jun 27 14:51 |
blitzed | hmmm I thought Palemoon uses Goanna, and Gecko compatibility was just optional | Jun 27 14:55 |
blitzed | Your full user agent string is: | Jun 27 14:55 |
blitzed | Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:4.8) Goanna/20210607 PaleMoon/29.2.1 | Jun 27 14:55 |
schestowitz | my mistake then. I never used palemoon, iirc. | Jun 27 14:56 |
schestowitz | I think I did briefly, but not on my machine. | Jun 27 14:57 |
schestowitz | anyway, on today's web all those browsers make you second-class citizen | Jun 27 14:57 |
blitzed | it usually does the job for me, and I still have the functionality I need, including customizing toolbar | Jun 27 14:57 |
schestowitz | If the Web was a store, you would not even bother entering anymore | Jun 27 14:58 |
blitzed | infact I enable the menubar, and condense everything onto that one line | Jun 27 14:58 |
schestowitz | that's what Firefox no longer lets you do | Jun 27 14:58 |
blitzed | right | Jun 27 14:58 |
schestowitz | people complained online and there's no solution | Jun 27 14:58 |
schestowitz | I don't need an address bar 1800 pixel across | Jun 27 14:59 |
schestowitz | heck, usually I do not need an address bar at all | Jun 27 14:59 |
schestowitz | [05:46] <schestowitz> Dear Mozilla, how can I hide the Firefox navigation/address bar or collapse that only another column (to save space)? Mozilla: You can’t! WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT? Don’t do that. It’s bad. We’ve already decided for you. Why are you hurting new users??? | Jun 27 14:59 |

kingoffrance | havent seen this, but long ago this was a feature of firefox IIRC, or one of the XUL something or other interface things, when they added ability to move address bar and buttons around (or remove, or add non-default ones). it even had a gui | Jun 27 15:01 |
kingoffrance | i mean, they used to "advertise" the customization, with a gui noless, as a feature | Jun 27 15:01 |
kingoffrance | even like ie4 or 5 let you "small toolbar icons" | Jun 27 15:02 |
kingoffrance | maybe even ancient netscape | Jun 27 15:03 |
kingoffrance | how did this 180 | Jun 27 15:03 |
kingoffrance | you literally could move that stuff with the mouse, drag and drop | Jun 27 15:04 |
kingoffrance | it was super easy | Jun 27 15:04 |
blitzed | yupperz | Jun 27 15:04 |
blitzed | there should be option to autohide browser toolbar as well | Jun 27 15:05 |
schestowitz | and tabs | Jun 27 15:06 |
schestowitz | like in a desktop's env/de | Jun 27 15:06 |
blitzed | yup | Jun 27 15:06 |
schestowitz | we have lots of screen space wasted on cruft and distraction | Jun 27 15:06 |
schestowitz | I even set my irc client to pseudo-fullscreen | Jun 27 15:06 |
kingoffrance | yeah, thats mainly what i used it for, to remove stuff i never used | Jun 27 15:07 |
blitzed | for a while toolbar customization was necessary, back in the netbook days | Jun 27 15:07 |
kingoffrance | or like the "go" button. if im typing a url, think i can press enter while i'm on the keybord | Jun 27 15:07 |
kingoffrance | *keyboard | Jun 27 15:07 |
blitzed | likewise | Jun 27 15:08 |
schestowitz | press ctrl+l | Jun 27 15:12 |
schestowitz | I used to use firefox like this maybe 15 years ago | Jun 27 15:12 |

schestowitz | some are indexers | Jun 27 16:02 |
immibis | the stuff beyond the captcha is not intended to be indexed | Jun 27 16:02 |
immibis | or, cloudflare has an exception for googlebot. Which is worrying | Jun 27 16:03 |
schestowitz | you mean login pages | Jun 27 16:03 |
schestowitz | yes, some bots are "better" than others | Jun 27 16:03 |
immibis | you put captchas on actions, not pages. Indexers aren't supposed to perform actions | Jun 27 16:03 |

schestowitz | Matt got together with his Cisco mate, who did much of the coding | Jun 27 16:26 |
schestowitz | not sure how much actual coding was done by who... | Jun 27 16:26 |
gustaf | WP as a business is pretty succesful | Jun 27 16:27 |
schestowitz | it's a bit of a sad story how communities are being vanished by big corporate interests | Jun 27 16:27 |
gustaf | I like Wordpress.com | Jun 27 16:27 |
gustaf | really easy to get going | Jun 27 16:27 |
schestowitz | or worse, fake "big shots"... like the one who killed freenode | Jun 27 16:27 |
gustaf | first "cloud"/hosted | Jun 27 16:27 |
gustaf | well one of the first | Jun 27 16:27 |
schestowitz | oh, he mentions Mike Little | Jun 27 16:28 |
Ariadne | i wish b2 was still around | Jun 27 16:28 |
Ariadne | wordpress is really... ugh | Jun 27 16:28 |
Ariadne | the thing is wordpress supports a lot of workflows out of the box automatically | Jun 27 16:28 |
Ariadne | thats the only reason i use it | Jun 27 16:28 |
schestowitz | https://mikelittle.org/ | Jun 27 16:28 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-mikelittle.org | Mike Little: WordPress Specialist, co-founder of WordPress | Jun 27 16:28 | |
schestowitz | "I co-founded WordPress, the website building software. WordPress now powers more than 38% of the web. I started it in 2003 with Matt Mullenweg. We went on to work with a small band of volunteer developers to build and improve the software. WordPress is now developed by a huge worldwide community." | Jun 27 16:28 |
schestowitz | he did his company for a while and released a book | Jun 27 16:29 |
schestowitz | "I am a published author. In 2005 I co-authored “Building Online Communities With Drupal, PhpBB, and WordPress“. I wrote the WordPress section of the book. I am also a technical editor. I have worked on a number of technical books for Wiley and Sons and other publishers." | Jun 27 16:29 |
Ariadne | yeah i remember mike little | Jun 27 16:30 |
Ariadne | i used to use serendipity | Jun 27 16:30 |
Ariadne | which was another fork of b2 | Jun 27 16:30 |

schestowitz | "By the end of June 2001, Michel was ready to say goodbye to Blogger and move his blog to b2. His blog was the first website to run on the code that would become WordPress, grandfather to millions of websites and blogs. " | Jun 27 16:31 |
schestowitz | yes, I remember serendipity | Jun 27 16:31 |
schestowitz | ages ago b2 was still available | Jun 27 16:31 |
schestowitz | but no longer actively maintained, as wp became unofficial 'successor | Jun 27 16:32 |
Ariadne | before serendipity, i used to use movable type | Jun 27 16:32 |
schestowitz | I think he had put that on sourceforge | Jun 27 16:32 |
Ariadne | but mod_perl really sucks | Jun 27 16:32 |
gustaf | MT was *weird* | Jun 27 16:32 |
schestowitz | I tried it the other day for irc-cgi | Jun 27 16:32 |
gustaf | it was static before that was cool :D | Jun 27 16:32 |
gustaf | also the company behind it gave off weird vibes | Jun 27 16:33 |
Ariadne | six apart was ok | Jun 27 16:33 |
Ariadne | i even bought a movable type license | Jun 27 16:33 |
gustaf | I was never a customer, granted | Jun 27 16:33 |
schestowitz | https://milestonesbook.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/b2admin.png | Jun 27 16:33 |
Ariadne | no idea what the details on it were or if its still good | Jun 27 16:33 |
Ariadne | lol | Jun 27 16:33 |
gustaf | started using Blosxom in ... 2003? | Jun 27 16:33 |
schestowitz | many of the key pieces had been put in places by michel | Jun 27 16:33 |
schestowitz | before it became wordpress | Jun 27 16:34 |
gustaf | 2004 | Jun 27 16:34 |
Ariadne | the main reason i switched from serendipity is because serendipity went through a period where it was unmaintained | Jun 27 16:34 |
Ariadne | i switched to jekyll | Jun 27 16:34 |
gustaf | Michel is married, 2 kids, lives outside Paris :D | Jun 27 16:34 |
Ariadne | but building a workflow around jekyll really sucks | Jun 27 16:34 |
techrights-news | #wordpress before it became a pile of bloat and complexity that isn't necessarily required for just a bunch of simple blog posts https://milestonesbook.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/b2admin.png | Jun 27 16:35 |
gustaf | Blosxom just happened to have a static option, I turned that on when I realized I didn't want a CGI scrpt to run for every page view, and then 15 years later everyone is raving about SSG's | Jun 27 16:35 |
Ariadne | so then i switched to write.as | Jun 27 16:35 |
Ariadne | which is garbage | Jun 27 16:35 |
Ariadne | dont bother with it | Jun 27 16:36 |
schestowitz | I remember it | Jun 27 16:36 |
Ariadne | then i switched to wordpress | Jun 27 16:36 |
schestowitz | I still have 2 php-nuke sites, long unmaintained... | Jun 27 16:36 |
schestowitz | wordpress copied a lot from drupal | Jun 27 16:36 |
gustaf | about 60% of content when blogging was "hot" was posts abotu blogging software etc | Jun 27 16:36 |
schestowitz | esp. the things perceived to be "ahead" of WP | Jun 27 16:36 |
schestowitz | like progress bars for uploads | Jun 27 16:36 |
*job has quit (connection closed) | Jun 27 16:36 | |

gustaf | fun for a while | Jun 27 16:36 |
schestowitz | people still blog ??? | Jun 27 16:37 |
gustaf | but I'm still a huge fan of just *publishing* | Jun 27 16:37 |
gustaf | getting my word out | Jun 27 16:37 |
gustaf | schestowitz: nah, it's all IG now :D | Jun 27 16:37 |

schestowitz | The list of scathing messages that Linus Torvalds has written over the years is so rich and colorful that there's an entire subreddit devoted to the topic. | Jun 27 17:25 |
schestowitz | "Mauro, SHUT THE F--- UP!" Torvalds, the famed creator of the Linux operating system, wrote publicly to a software developer in 2012, calling the hapless recipient's opinion "garbage and idiocy." | Jun 27 17:25 |
schestowitz | "The above code is s---, and it generates s--- code," Torvalds rebuked a different colleague working on Linux, while blasting the work of yet another because "I expect *some* quality control, and this piece-of-s--- driver has clearly seen none at all." | Jun 27 17:25 |
schestowitz | He's attacked tech giants like Intel, wondering whether the company is "committed to selling you s--- forever and ever, and never fixing anything?" When the graphics chipmaker Nvidia ran afoul of Torvalds one time, he said simply: "f--- you." | Jun 27 17:25 |
schestowitz | As Torvalds labored over the wording of an important announcement in 2018 though, he was gripped with doubt and self-consciousness. Nearly three decades after creating the software that made him famous, revered and feared, Torvalds — on the advice of a few close friends — was temporarily stepping away to "get help on how to behave differently." | Jun 27 17:25 |
schestowitz | "I am not an emotionally empathetic kind of person," Torvalds would acknowledge in the 989-word public apology. | Jun 27 17:25 |

activelow | schestowitz: long story short foss left me behind without a compiler at least i would be willing to use | Jun 27 19:51 |
schestowitz | you need to then fight clown computer and hardware-level back doors | Jun 27 19:51 |

schestowitz | china already moves to gnu/linux for everything of importance | Jun 27 19:51 |
schestowitz | activelow: compilers became massive and complex | Jun 27 19:51 |
schestowitz | like 40 million LOCS, iirc, for gcc | Jun 27 19:52 |

activelow | sad truth is many reasons to deny microsoft products apply to "big foss" alike | Jun 27 19:58 |
activelow | 1) "for free", maybe gratis, it isn't free anymore. | Jun 27 20:00 |
activelow | 2) this one is the only i accept without doubt: lots of free programs apps, too much occasionally | Jun 27 20:00 |
techrights-news | On the Web, so-called 'traffic' (raw) is a poor measure of success and longterm prospects. You can get people to click by provoking them (or misleading them), it's not limited to trolling and clickbait, but then they will shun you and never come back. Better be modest, moderate, objective. This way you maintain trust and retain readers. | Jun 27 20:00 |
activelow | 4) no centralization isn't worth discussing for now | Jun 27 20:01 |
activelow | 5) "Emphasis on privacy" simply wrong, it is a myth. | Jun 27 20:01 |
activelow | 6) works on old eqipment, ok this is true too without doubt. | Jun 27 20:01 |
activelow | 7) "Fewer viruses and malware", simply wrong. | Jun 27 20:02 |

techrights-news | Web advertising generally biases Web sites towards clickbait and BS. Better not accept any ads; that would, overall, improve quality of information | Jun 27 20:03 |

schestowitz | activelow: it's maybe open, but not freedom-respecting | Jun 27 20:05 |
schestowitz | open is meaningless junk | Jun 27 20:05 |
schestowitz | "open API..." | Jun 27 20:05 |
schestowitz | Facebook is "open registration" | Jun 27 20:05 |
schestowitz | freedom is hard to fake | Jun 27 20:05 |
schestowitz | the closest they got was conflating freedom with CHOICE | Jun 27 20:06 |
activelow | thing is, if there was consent to refrain from microsoft offereings same applies to alot of what is sold as "big foss" then | Jun 27 20:08 |
schestowitz | what is "big foss" to you, Debian? | Jun 27 20:09 |
schestowitz | systemd? | Jun 27 20:09 |
schestowitz | systemd is OSPS | Jun 27 20:09 |
schestowitz | we have a name for it already | Jun 27 20:09 |
schestowitz | chromium-browser is the same | Jun 27 20:09 |
activelow | i am mostly concerned about compilers recently | Jun 27 20:09 |
schestowitz | aka "big monopo/lithic mess, but source available" | Jun 27 20:09 |
activelow | and the tooling to retain control over "big foss" | Jun 27 20:10 |
schestowitz | many people lose sight of compilers | Jun 27 20:10 |
schestowitz | suse and ibm dominate gcc | Jun 27 20:10 |
activelow | if a system is offered as "big foss" and a developer couldn't easily excercise freedoms anymore, meaning to at least compile his software from source to easily continue with development | Jun 27 20:10 |
schestowitz | MinceR mentioned this in relation to systemd iirc, or maybe figosdev did | Jun 27 20:12 |
schestowitz | collective audits though are a verification or means of it | Jun 27 20:14 |
schestowitz | the idea is, you rely on many other devs seeing the code in many companies | Jun 27 20:14 |
schestowitz | where they get paid to work on it | Jun 27 20:14 |
schestowitz | and blowing the whistle if they see somethign rogue | Jun 27 20:14 |
schestowitz | and the more contribs you have, the more people can spot issues | Jun 27 20:14 |
schestowitz | but there's a caveat because more devs doesn't mean more good devs | Jun 27 20:15 |
activelow | an idea of mine is this schestowitz, i do know i cannot review everything nor do i intend to do so | Jun 27 20:15 |
schestowitz | like that german who put a major security flaw in openssl | Jun 27 20:15 |
activelow | yet at least i can verify if it is possible to review any piece of "big foss" | Jun 27 20:15 |
schestowitz | collective checks and belances work better than one single company monopolising development | Jun 27 20:15 |
schestowitz | and likely hiding all the creases | Jun 27 20:15 |
schestowitz | not fearing another company calling them out on it | Jun 27 20:15 |
*psydroid has quit (connection closed) | Jun 27 20:16 | |

schestowitz | and shit like 'secure boot' | Jun 27 20:17 |
schestowitz | TPM, DRM etc. | Jun 27 20:17 |

schestowitz | the kids or the "yobs" around here walk around mindlessly and aimlessly | Jun 27 23:10 |

schestowitz | they know the future is uncertain for them | Jun 27 23:10 |
XFaCE | the "used" as RMS would say | Jun 27 23:10 |
schestowitz | on the other side of it, the other edge, you have old people without prospects of employment and not enough to live on until death/retirement | Jun 27 23:11 |

schestowitz | 100k+ cases this past week | Jun 27 23:13 |
XFaCE | schestowitz: social isolation is not "boring" | Jun 27 23:13 |
schestowitz | up 60% compared to last week | Jun 27 23:13 |
XFaCE | it's deadly in the long run | Jun 27 23:13 |
XFaCE | Some animal species will die from separation anxiety | Jun 27 23:13 |
schestowitz | yes, well, the depression it causes does not help | Jun 27 23:13 |
schestowitz | but overcrowded hospitals are worse | Jun 27 23:13 |
XFaCE | Yeah, I'm just taking issue with tossing it aside as "boring" | Jun 27 23:13 |
*immibis has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) | Jun 27 23:13 | |
XFaCE | That is an extremely dismissive characterization | Jun 27 23:14 |
schestowitz | some are not employed or underemployed and many public spaces are shut | Jun 27 23:14 |
schestowitz | no concerts, night clubs... | Jun 27 23:14 |
schestowitz | "Boring" is what some tell me | Jun 27 23:15 |
schestowitz | they were eager to go back to work | Jun 27 23:15 |
schestowitz | they read books or something... | Jun 27 23:15 |
schestowitz | while their workplaces perish | Jun 27 23:15 |
schestowitz | The luckier ones have long worked from home, so adaptation was minimal | Jun 27 23:16 |
XFaCE | That's only one part of the problem | Jun 27 23:16 |
schestowitz | I sort of miss going to the gym, but it's too risky to go back there right now | Jun 27 23:16 |
XFaCE | It is risky to not allow gyms | Jun 27 23:16 |
schestowitz | and the isolation, and lack of social support networks (like chats, hugs), deprives people of safety nets | Jun 27 23:16 |
XFaCE | Encouragement of seditary lifestyles | Jun 27 23:17 |
schestowitz | or even dating someone | Jun 27 23:17 |
XFaCE | yes | Jun 27 23:17 |
schestowitz | we try to run outside | Jun 27 23:17 |
schestowitz | but it's not the same thing, I need some equipment | Jun 27 23:17 |
XFaCE | It's quite possible that social isolation anxiety is compromising immune systems... we've simply never had this sort of experiment before. | Jun 27 23:17 |
schestowitz | well,maybe not in our lifetime | Jun 27 23:18 |
XFaCE | It is reasonable to say that depriving social interaction in a species evolved to have it is not going to end well. | Jun 27 23:18 |
schestowitz | but it likely happened before, hundreds of years ago | Jun 27 23:18 |
schestowitz | and bombshell anxiety, too | Jun 27 23:18 |
XFaCE | >The luckier ones have long worked from home, so adaptation was minimal | Jun 27 23:18 |
XFaCE | I am introverted and was diagnosed with autism years ago. Even I can't stand the social isolation. For those more social inclined it must be truly awful. | Jun 27 23:19 |
schestowitz | I should add that I'm not overgeneralisation or suggest it's all reducible to the same causes etc. | Jun 27 23:19 |
schestowitz | but the ones I heard about lately... | Jun 27 23:19 |
*DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jun 27 23:19 | |
XFaCE | Fair, I would chalk that up to the limitations of text conversation | Jun 27 23:19 |
schestowitz | unemployment of broken relationships sometimes contribute to it, regardless of isolation, but some of the social support networks (comfort) are not there | Jun 27 23:20 |
XFaCE | correct, and I would also add that relationships are being made broken | Jun 27 23:20 |
schestowitz | Extroverts I know just meet people regardless | Jun 27 23:21 |
XFaCE | Is that not a predicatable outcome? | Jun 27 23:21 |
schestowitz | and then pass that thing around or cause tensions with people they share living space with... but they cannot help it, they really need to see friends | Jun 27 23:21 |
XFaCE | Yeah and that's reasonable mindsight | Jun 27 23:22 |
XFaCE | the social interaction is a necessity | Jun 27 23:22 |
XFaCE | it's akin (though less severe) to asking someone to starve | Jun 27 23:23 |
schestowitz | sometimes we don't see the warning signs anymore | Jun 27 23:23 |
schestowitz | because people don't meet people, so the depression becomes less visible | Jun 27 23:23 |
schestowitz | they keep that inside and it worsens until it explodes | Jun 27 23:23 |
schestowitz | even seeing professionals for advice is harder now | Jun 27 23:24 |
schestowitz | I read about this ridiculous "theory over ZOOM" thing | Jun 27 23:24 |

schestowitz | not some "ZOOM" session | Jun 27 23:25 |
schestowitz | ENgland is very densely populated in the larger towns | Jun 27 23:25 |
XFaCE | schestowitz: it ties back to what we were talking about, abstraction | Jun 27 23:25 |
schestowitz | we'll have this crisis for at least another year | Jun 27 23:25 |
