schestowitz | Perlow was in the BN IRC channel for a few weeks and I can't figure out why he hates RMS so much. I've been enjoying Ken's recent articles and I hope he keeps up the good 'fight'. RMS is just trying to spread solidarity, yet his detractors try to paint him as this "Dangerous Man" who will shout at you. | Dec 01 01:15 |
cubezzz | checked out several retailers for laptops tonight | Dec 01 01:15 |
cubezzz | everything was Intel based or AMD based CPU | Dec 01 01:16 |
cubezzz | of course, RMS isn't dangerous | Dec 01 01:16 |
cubezzz | no one even heard of ARM CPU :-P | Dec 01 01:17 |
schestowitz | BTW, I put "fight" in scare quotes because RMS is known for his peace activism. He doesn't really fight. I find it fascinating how when someone 'dares' to criticise mechanisms of control, then that person -- not the controller -- is labeled as "disruption". Same with peaceful protesters. | Dec 01 01:18 |

thenixedreport | Start with the FSF and their four freedoms. | Dec 01 03:25 |
thenixedreport | If people are allowed to share copies of software (binary and code) and make changes to the code, it's considered liberated. | Dec 01 03:26 |
thenixedreport | There is a difference with freedomware though. | Dec 01 03:27 |
thenixedreport | Let's say a piece of software is licensed under the GPL, but it won't work without .NET. | Dec 01 03:27 |
thenixedreport | If proprietary software and libraries are required to compile/run the software, it is not freedomware. | Dec 01 03:27 |
thenixedreport | Also, I have no qualms about using liberated software to play MP3 files. | Dec 01 03:29 |
thenixedreport | That is another difference (and the patent holders who waited for MP3 to become popular... they can rot for all I care). | Dec 01 03:29 |
*shreddar (n=jeffrey@c-98-240-56-92.hsd1.ms.comcast.net) has left #boycottnovell | Dec 01 03:29 | |
cubezzz | yeah I avoid .net stuff | Dec 01 03:29 |
thenixedreport | When it comes to the philosophy of freedomware, playing DVD's is perfectly okay. | Dec 01 03:30 |
thenixedreport | This is due to the fact that the laws against playback without proprietary software (DMCA) is not a justifiable law to begin with. | Dec 01 03:31 |
thenixedreport | It violates the rights of the consumer. | Dec 01 03:31 |
thenixedreport | At the same time, proprietary software is to be avoided as much as possible, but not condemned. | Dec 01 03:31 |
cubezzz | hrmmm | Dec 01 03:31 |
cubezzz | no source, no use :) | Dec 01 03:32 |
thenixedreport | Instead, one could appeal to the authors of the proprietary app/library in question to release the source code under a liberated license. | Dec 01 03:32 |
thenixedreport | Such as the GPL. | Dec 01 03:32 |
thenixedreport | Or LGPL | Dec 01 03:32 |
thenixedreport | Or liberated alternatives can be supported instead. | Dec 01 03:33 |
thenixedreport | One example is Flash. | Dec 01 03:33 |
thenixedreport | People are attempting to make alternatives, such as swfdec and gnash. | Dec 01 03:33 |
thenixedreport | While others have decided to use HTML 5 and Ogg Theora instead. | Dec 01 03:33 |
cubezzz | wait, I have one exception | Dec 01 03:34 |
cubezzz | a special case | Dec 01 03:34 |
thenixedreport | Go on. | Dec 01 03:34 |
thenixedreport | :) | Dec 01 03:34 |
cubezzz | when the source code is lost to a program, I will still use the program | Dec 01 03:34 |
cubezzz | because accidents can always happen | Dec 01 03:35 |
cubezzz | so I had the source at one point, but it got lost, and now I only have the binary | Dec 01 03:35 |
cubezzz | in that case I would still use the program | Dec 01 03:35 |

thenixedreport | Hmm... | Dec 01 03:35 |
thenixedreport | Interesting. | Dec 01 03:35 |
thenixedreport | I'm assuming the authors lost the source in this scenario as well? | Dec 01 03:36 |
cubezzz | I'll try to re-create it of course | Dec 01 03:36 |
thenixedreport | Ah, you are the author. | Dec 01 03:36 |
thenixedreport | Understood. | Dec 01 03:36 |
cubezzz | yes, it's lost as in a "lost film" lost :) | Dec 01 03:36 |
cubezzz | no one has it | Dec 01 03:36 |
thenixedreport | I see. | Dec 01 03:36 |
thenixedreport | You could invite others to reverse engineer it. | Dec 01 03:37 |

cubezzz | yes, no problem there | Dec 01 03:37 |

cubezzz | 20 years ago I'd say yeah, just use what you need to get your work done | Dec 01 03:42 |
cubezzz | but using proprietary software is mostly avoidable now | Dec 01 03:43 |
cubezzz | I can't justify using it for myself | Dec 01 03:43 |
thenixedreport | For some people who are a part of the alternative media though.... | Dec 01 03:44 |
thenixedreport | What they do may require something like Flash or Skype. | Dec 01 03:45 |
thenixedreport | I know how Skype has decent voice quality as voip software. | Dec 01 03:45 |
thenixedreport | Broadcast quality too. | Dec 01 03:45 |
thenixedreport | Are there any voip clients that are capable of that? | Dec 01 03:45 |
cubezzz | ah, if someone wants to use Skype they are free to do so :) | Dec 01 03:47 |
cubezzz | I'd have to research that specific problem | Dec 01 03:48 |
thenixedreport | With Skype, it can sound like the person is in the same room as you (or studio depending on what's being done). | Dec 01 03:48 |
cubezzz | there's no technical reason why it couldn't be done with FOSS | Dec 01 03:48 |
thenixedreport | I haven't given Ekiga a try myself, but I intend to do so. | Dec 01 03:49 |
cubezzz | wikipedia says the license is freeware | Dec 01 03:50 |
cubezzz | but I assume that still means closed source? | Dec 01 03:50 |
thenixedreport | As in the source isn't available. | Dec 01 03:51 |
thenixedreport | Yep. | Dec 01 03:51 |
cubezzz | well, it's not as bad as a binary blob driver | Dec 01 03:52 |

MinceR | Diablo-D3: wayland is far from complete. | Dec 01 11:04 |
oiaohm | wayland uses the under framework of X11 Diablo-D3 | Dec 01 11:04 |
Diablo-D3 | no, but it _is_ better | Dec 01 11:04 |
MinceR | oiaohm: you have the right to be wrong. | Dec 01 11:04 |
MinceR | Diablo-D3: if it can't run my desktop then no it isn't | Dec 01 11:05 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: depends how you define "under framework" | Dec 01 11:05 |
Diablo-D3 | mesa, dri2, gallium, etc, do not belong to X | Dec 01 11:05 |
oiaohm | There have been many different desktop frameworks. | Dec 01 11:05 |
MinceR | bbl | Dec 01 11:05 |
oiaohm | Big issue is only X11 has been getting drivers Diablo-D3 | Dec 01 11:05 |
Diablo-D3 | so? | Dec 01 11:05 |
Diablo-D3 | this is what gallium and dri2 are for | Dec 01 11:06 |
Diablo-D3 | you no longer even need graphics at all to access the hardware (ie, opencl) | Dec 01 11:06 |
oiaohm | gallium3d and dri2 and kms really altering the underside to allow moving away from X11 if that is the way it goes. | Dec 01 11:06 |
Diablo-D3 | UXA is a very thin layer over mesaland | Dec 01 11:06 |
Diablo-D3 | an X server using UXA drivers is basically not doing anything at all | Dec 01 11:07 |

oiaohm | Latter part of fbdev did mesa turn up. | Dec 01 11:15 |
oiaohm | By that time it was mostly dieing due to lack of support for drivers. | Dec 01 11:16 |
Diablo-D3 | dont bother bringing up fbdev outside of fbdev/dri | Dec 01 11:16 |
Diablo-D3 | it doesnt use hardware acceleration that way | Dec 01 11:16 |

Diablo-D3 | its like you've somehow skipped out on the whole argument | Dec 01 11:23 |
oiaohm | Not really Diablo-D3. | Dec 01 11:23 |
Diablo-D3 | wayland is being developed by freedesktop and redhat developers | Dec 01 11:23 |
oiaohm | Same ideals were at the start of FB that grew into the directfb project Diablo-D3 | Dec 01 11:24 |
Diablo-D3 | yes, and directfb was a mistake | Dec 01 11:24 |
oiaohm | Never stood a chance Diablo-D3. So we don't know Diablo-D3 | Dec 01 11:25 |
Diablo-D3 | directfb was also not supported by anyone | Dec 01 11:25 |
Diablo-D3 | wayland is | Dec 01 11:25 |
oiaohm | Really wayland avoids the support issue by using the same frameworks as X11 | Dec 01 11:25 |
Diablo-D3 | there you go again | Dec 01 11:26 |
oiaohm | It does Diablo-D3. | Dec 01 11:26 |
Diablo-D3 | no, the "frameworks" that X11 "uses" exist _to_ get rid of X | Dec 01 11:27 |
oiaohm | The developers of wayland has even stated that on video. | Dec 01 11:27 |
Diablo-D3 | everyone wants X dead | Dec 01 11:27 |
oiaohm | DRI2 KMS.... Ie frameworks X11 is using. | Dec 01 11:27 |
Diablo-D3 | X is using them because its the only way to do it now | Dec 01 11:27 |
Diablo-D3 | X is purposely moving to a model that has no drivers in the display server | Dec 01 11:28 |
oiaohm | Alterations for DRI2 and KMS was done in X11 before wayland existed. | Dec 01 11:28 |
Diablo-D3 | yes, because its the only way to do it riht | Dec 01 11:29 |
oiaohm | It took X11 moving in that direct to give another interface a chance Diablo-D3 | Dec 01 11:29 |
Diablo-D3 | no, it took the Xorg Foundation and fd.o to state X sucks to make it happen | Dec 01 11:30 |
oiaohm | The ideals of wayland are not new. The chance to do it and make it work. | Dec 01 11:30 |
Diablo-D3 | wayland is supported by rh and fd.o | Dec 01 11:30 |
oiaohm | Only happened recently. | Dec 01 11:30 |
Diablo-D3 | except I've known about this for years | Dec 01 11:30 |
Diablo-D3 | your concept of recently is flawed | Dec 01 11:30 |
oiaohm | Recently compared to unix history. | Dec 01 11:31 |
oiaohm | X11 history. | Dec 01 11:31 |
oiaohm | The common theme of what wayland developers are doing now has poped up over and over again. It will be great to see it at long last get there. | Dec 01 11:32 |
Diablo-D3 | except you're somehow ignoring the fact wayland is part of a larger goal that has been in motion for awhile | Dec 01 11:32 |
oiaohm | Not really Diablo-D3. | Dec 01 11:33 |
Diablo-D3 | yes, really | Dec 01 11:34 |
oiaohm | At long last the attempt has gone from the edge of the posix world into main X11 server to clean up the driver core and interface design. | Dec 01 11:34 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: because it hasnt "gone" anywhere | Dec 01 11:34 |
oiaohm | The motion to the design like wayland has been there for over 20 years. | Dec 01 11:34 |
Diablo-D3 | the "attempt" originated inside X! | Dec 01 11:34 |
oiaohm | It orginated outside X11 manytimes. Until something inside X11 did it we were stuck. | Dec 01 11:35 |
Diablo-D3 | it didnt even "originate" | Dec 01 11:36 |
Diablo-D3 | er | Dec 01 11:36 |
Diablo-D3 | it didnt even "originate" outside X at any point | Dec 01 11:36 |

Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: like, do you realize how long keithp has been around? | Dec 01 11:37 |
oiaohm | I know exactly how long he has been around. Until 2004 he stayed mostly away from the X11 server core and worked on the intel driver. | Dec 01 11:38 |
Diablo-D3 | lol | Dec 01 11:39 |
Diablo-D3 | no | Dec 01 11:39 |
Diablo-D3 | in the 80s he worked at a company who made, among other things, X terminals | Dec 01 11:39 |
Diablo-D3 | and then after that in the early 90s he worked for the MIT X Consortium | Dec 01 11:39 |
oiaohm | On what sections Diablo-D3 | Dec 01 11:40 |
Diablo-D3 | and then another company who made X stuff, and then suse to maintain their xfree86 distro | Dec 01 11:40 |
oiaohm | No one really touched the core in the 1990's at all. | Dec 01 11:40 |
Diablo-D3 | and then he forked xfree86 to make xorg and now is the project lead for xorg | Dec 01 11:40 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: lolfail | Dec 01 11:40 |
oiaohm | X11 was nicly bit rotting at the core Diablo-D3 | Dec 01 11:41 |
Diablo-D3 | we wrote kdrive in the early 00s | Dec 01 11:41 |
Diablo-D3 | actually, in the 90s | Dec 01 11:41 |
oiaohm | No proper multi thread support. | Dec 01 11:41 |
Diablo-D3 | but it wanst public yet | Dec 01 11:41 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: and xfree86 was rotting because an idiot was at the lead | Dec 01 11:41 |
Diablo-D3 | this is why keithp forked it | Dec 01 11:41 |
oiaohm | And keithp only got into the core bits in 2004. And found that it was mostly shot. | Dec 01 11:42 |
oiaohm | if it could be done wrong it was. | Dec 01 11:42 |
Diablo-D3 | and xfree86 was only _one_ xserver | Dec 01 11:42 |
Diablo-D3 | there were many others | Dec 01 11:42 |
oiaohm | And why did the others die Diablo-D3 even that lot of them had techincally better cores. | Dec 01 11:43 |
Diablo-D3 | because they were all for special use | Dec 01 11:43 |
Diablo-D3 | and Xorg was ported everywhere | Dec 01 11:43 |
oiaohm | And lots of theme were closed source as well and wantted money Diablo-D3 | Dec 01 11:44 |
Diablo-D3 | so? | Dec 01 11:44 |
DaemonFC | less people are buying real trees | Dec 01 11:44 |
DaemonFC | who cares? | Dec 01 11:44 |
Diablo-D3 | like I said, keithp worked for two different companies that made X terminals | Dec 01 11:44 |
Diablo-D3 | you know what those are? | Dec 01 11:44 |
DaemonFC | buying real trees encourages irresponsible land use and promotes global warming | Dec 01 11:45 |
Diablo-D3 | they're like normal dumb terminals, but can display X clients too | Dec 01 11:45 |
DaemonFC | oiaohm: I did manage to watch a few things in HD yesterday | Dec 01 11:46 |
DaemonFC | not much, cause Comcast has no HD channels here | Dec 01 11:46 |
DaemonFC | what I did see was kind of pretty to look at | Dec 01 11:46 |
oiaohm | Diablo-D3: Does it change the fact that while he was working on them that no one was working on the core of X11. | Dec 01 11:46 |
DaemonFC | computer operating systems anymore are just a shambles | Dec 01 11:46 |
DaemonFC | a total mess | Dec 01 11:47 |
oiaohm | It was a drift for years Diablo-D3 | Dec 01 11:47 |
oiaohm | Some groups would do better in conner locations and it would never be picked up by the core. Diablo-D3 its sad to thing how more advance the interface could be if all that development time in independant X11 servers was not lost to the sands of time. | Dec 01 11:48 |
Diablo-D3 | dude | Dec 01 11:48 |
Diablo-D3 | stop saying the "core of X11" | Dec 01 11:48 |
Diablo-D3 | X11 is a protocol | Dec 01 11:48 |
Diablo-D3 | xfree86 is an implementation | Dec 01 11:48 |
oiaohm | The protocals were also broken Diablo-D3. | Dec 01 11:49 |
Diablo-D3 | the protocols were "broken" because X isnt for desktops | Dec 01 11:50 |
oiaohm | LOL Diablo-D3. Some of them simply cannot work local or remote. They have been sent to the should never been accepted phile since 2004. | Dec 01 11:52 |

jack_ | or maybe this intentional to show the similarities between the two? I dont know | Dec 01 18:12 |
schestowitz | Hey, jack_ | Dec 01 18:12 |
schestowitz | Yes, it is deliberate | Dec 01 18:12 |
jack_ | ah, ok, my mistake | Dec 01 18:12 |
jack_ | apologies | Dec 01 18:12 |
schestowitz | Microsoft tries to escape the Vista identity, but Vista 7 is just like Mojave with new deskbar | Dec 01 18:12 |
schestowitz | jack_: thanks for letting know... I was wondering how people respond when seeing it | Dec 01 18:13 |
fewa | just like XP was just 2000 with a few tweaks | Dec 01 18:13 |

schestowitz | But it's just normal | Dec 01 18:14 |

schestowitz | But they try to suppress critics | Dec 01 21:25 |
ender2070 | Daemon, did you blog against them or something? | Dec 01 21:25 |
schestowitz | Very unethical IMHO | Dec 01 21:25 |
schestowitz | It's like dispersing unions | Dec 01 21:25 |
schestowitz | They don't need to get their s* together | Dec 01 21:25 |
schestowitz | Just to bribe the few who are willing to stand up | Dec 01 21:25 |
DaemonFC | ender2070: About a few things this time | Dec 01 21:25 |
schestowitz | Then dry up things | Dec 01 21:25 |
schestowitz | Microsoft does the same thing | Dec 01 21:25 |
ender2070 | DaemonFC - can I read it? | Dec 01 21:25 |
schestowitz | It settles with parties and hires lawyers who know its dirty tricks | Dec 01 21:25 |
schestowitz | Then it shuts them up | Dec 01 21:25 |
schestowitz | They "go out of the gene pool" so to speak | Dec 01 21:26 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC: stand up for your right | Dec 01 21:26 |
schestowitz | Or... | Dec 01 21:26 |
DaemonFC | practically no HD content and how when I went to get the HD DRVR for when they get a few HD channels this month (all the cheap local ones), they gave me two bad ones and I ended up driving to their office three times | Dec 01 21:26 |
schestowitz | If you don't cave, then their bribe/gagging attempts will get too considerable | Dec 01 21:26 |
schestowitz | It's like they say, don't pay random to a kinapper | Dec 01 21:26 |
schestowitz | As they would only encourage more | Dec 01 21:26 |
schestowitz | Microsoft also bribed bloggers | Dec 01 21:27 |
schestowitz | ANd then they askd for more | Dec 01 21:27 |

ender2070 | DaemonFC - dont be surprised if they try suing you | Dec 01 21:28 |
DaemonFC | "Why does Comcast have such shoddy equipment? Did you know that I had to drive you your local office three times yesterday because the DVR I got there the first time had a bad HDMI port, and the second one I got home with wouldn?t power on at all? Why can?t Comcast plug the damned things in and see if they at least power on?" | Dec 01 21:28 |
DaemonFC | :P | Dec 01 21:28 |
schestowitz | ender2070: they can't | Dec 01 21:28 |
schestowitz | They have no case | Dec 01 21:28 |
ender2070 | i know they cant, but it doesnt prevent them from threatening to | Dec 01 21:28 |
DaemonFC | they could sue me if anything I said was actually untrue | Dec 01 21:28 |
schestowitz | Look at GoldmanSachs666 | Dec 01 21:28 |
schestowitz | The Goldman Bankster only brought attention to them | Dec 01 21:29 |
schestowitz | And the lawsuit was a failure | Dec 01 21:29 |
schestowitz | Gave it media publicity, had them post a disclaimer, created more resemtment from Mike Morgan and TV appearances | Dec 01 21:29 |
DaemonFC | "The last bit of ?good news? is that Comcast is shifting the channels around so that all the channels people want are only on Digital Starter or higher. They did add one channel I want, but I?m not paying another $15 a month for the package that has it." | Dec 01 21:29 |
schestowitz | ender2070: threats are cheap | Dec 01 21:29 |
schestowitz | Words are cheap too | Dec 01 21:30 |
DaemonFC | so how is that a false claim meant to slander them? | Dec 01 21:30 |
ender2070 | yeah | Dec 01 21:30 |
schestowitz | I think US has anti-SLAPP laws | Dec 01 21:30 |
ender2070 | but sometimes they count on the other person being poor and not being able to afford a lawyer | Dec 01 21:30 |
schestowitz | Not just false | Dec 01 21:30 |
ender2070 | so they settle | Dec 01 21:30 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz: Yes, and Indiana has a law that's stronger than the federal one | Dec 01 21:30 |
schestowitz | They need to prove it's deliberately false | Dec 01 21:30 |
ender2070 | RIAA does it all the time, you know its frivolous | Dec 01 21:30 |
schestowitz | If he makes an innocent mistake like any human being, then nope | Dec 01 21:30 |
schestowitz | And it's a blog | Dec 01 21:30 |

schestowitz | DaemonFC: play with them, post a followup post | Dec 01 21:31 |
schestowitz | Until they decide to shut up about it | Dec 01 21:31 |
schestowitz | Look at Novell | Dec 01 21:31 |
DaemonFC | my opinion is that most of their lineup is garbage and the few good channels are spaced out to where you need to have a more expensive package to get it | Dec 01 21:31 |
schestowitz | They had their little Turfers harassing us | Dec 01 21:31 |
schestowitz | I exposed them | Dec 01 21:31 |
schestowitz | Then they stopped | Dec 01 21:31 |
schestowitz | SCO did the same with Groklaw | Dec 01 21:31 |

schestowitz | _goblin also has some troll called Richard in his blog | Dec 01 21:33 |

ender2070 | i go to those sites for the comments | Dec 01 21:34 |
ender2070 | there can be some uplifting stuff on slashdot | Dec 01 21:34 |
