00:01 ulf; no clue who activelow or britney are

00:02 DaemonFC; <phanes> when i have a layover in chicago i don't even leave the terminal

00:02 ulf; there simply isn't anything "good" or "positive" remaining about what's advertised as "free" by GNU/FSF/RMS

00:02 DaemonFC; That's the safest part of the city.

00:02 DaemonFC; It's behind the TSA checkpoint and there's cops everywhere.

00:03 DaemonFC; With machine guns.

00:03 DaemonFC; There are people who have lived in O'Hare for months without being caught.

00:03 DaemonFC; It's such a big airport that nobody noticed them for a while.

00:05 *techuser has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

00:06 ulf; sabotage, is a severe criminal act, and this is how i qualify much of what's advertised as "free"

00:06 XRevan86; ulf: Are ye kidding me, activelow?

00:06 XRevan86; ulf: Don't even pretend.

00:06 ulf; the fact, it's highly intelligent persons developers involved with sabotage, to waste other intelligent persons time

00:07 ulf; globally

00:07 ulf; this is what they do

00:07 ulf; in USA, they hack and slay each other with anti-competitive malware, which sufficed to put all of them into jail

00:08 ulf; it's globalized now

00:08 *techuser (~techuser@vvbde374bfqga.irc) has joined #techrights

00:08 ulf; to waste even more development man power, time and resources

00:09 *phanes ordered some 99% isopropyl alcohol and wonders if there's anything cool you can do with it

00:09 XRevan86; ulf: I have a simple test for you: can ye tell me the etymology of the word "Titan".

00:10 ulf; XRevan86: it the greek gods which died, and their cultural heritage drowned in atlantis

00:11 XRevan86; ulf: No, *etymology*.

00:11 ulf; their language and knowledge disappaered forever, and the olymp conquered by a "new generation"

00:11 XRevan86; What the origins of the word are.

00:11 ulf; no idea, Titan to is a chemical element

00:12 XRevan86; What's your best guess?

00:12 phanes; Titan: Tite, from Tit. As in big.

00:13 XRevan86; phanes: No tips

00:14 phanes; XRevan86, only tips.

00:18 phanes; XRevan86, worst case scenario he believes it and repeats it to someone else who gets it

00:19 XRevan86; The activelow answer is that Titan comes from the English word tit, not any tit but the tit of the primeval cow Auumbla.

00:19 XRevan86; phanes: Yours is actually milder.

00:21 XRevan86; This "GNU is evil" stuff is lame in comparison. But in brand.

00:21 ulf; GNU/FSF aren't any better than micros~1

00:22 ulf; they're only a marketing facade, of the Pentagon, to advertsize and push spyware made in usa

00:22 XRevan86; And the unhealthy fixation on TinyCC specifically is a dead giveaway, because activelow gives it merit because someone managed to build a stripped down old Linux version with it.

00:23 XRevan86; And by his logic it means it's a better suited compiler for the job of building (any) Linux than anything else out there.

00:23 phanes; thats some next level dumb shit to think

00:23 phanes; like if this were a dumb shit contest i'd be hard pressed to find a contender

00:23 XRevan86; (GCC/Clang excluded)

00:23 ulf; any sane standards compliant compiler is better than what GNU/FSF with their GNU toolchain do, or mapple LLVM

00:38 ulf; XRevan86: TinyCC isn't pentagon endorsed malware

00:38 TR News; "TechRepublic Academy" = spam account

00:38 ulf; hence you'll have little luck with this one too

00:38 XRevan86; ulf: I'm not claiming cproc can do that, all I'm saying is that it has better odds than the dead compiler TinyCC.

00:39 XRevan86; It's more of an anti-TinyCC argument than a pro-something argument.

00:39 ulf; tinycc isn't dead, and i am not limiting this approach to it either

00:39 ulf; it's "only" one first minimum acceptance testing, to see how far i'll get with "free software" promoted by GNU/FSF, together with an ANSI C capable compiler

00:40 ulf; XRevan86: tinycc already got some C11 features on board, already had seen it fail with dev-libs/libffi btw.

00:40 ulf; which is remarkable, reason being, libffi is required by micros~1 python interpreter, and was poisoned with C11 it seems

00:41 ulf; no surprise i would say

00:42 XRevan86; "Some" is better than expected.

00:42 XRevan86; Of course that's compared to a compiler that has *some* C23 features on board.

00:43 ulf; XRevan86: you won't convince me with bold claims made. no talking, simply show me at least one GNU/Linux which can be fully compiled with cproc

00:43 ulf; or, at bare minimum, for example, compile dev-libs/libffi with cproc, and see for yourself

00:43 ulf; besides, you're missing another detail, which is GNU binutils, which tinycc can partially replace, because tcc to got a linker and assembler

00:44 XRevan86; It's like ye want to lift a house with a stool. I point you in the direction of a hydraulic jack and tell you it still won't lift a house.

00:44 ulf; apropos, some ASM inside musl-libc didn't pass with the arm-assembler tcc got... "surprise"

00:44 ulf; XRevan86: does cproc ship with a linker and assmbler for aarch32?

00:45 ulf; and even if, the system-integration into the build-system is what's sabotaged too by them, GNU/FSF

00:46 ulf; the problem isn't tinycc or cproc, the problem are GNU/FSF and their toolchain and buildsystem with anti-competitive sabotage involved

00:46 XRevan86; phanes: Of course activelow also wanted to build BaphometOS on ARM. Just a funny coincidence.

07:02 matey; It is possible to boot OpenBSD with Secure Boot enabled by using the Linux Foundation's PreLoader & HashTool utilities. Now reboot the machine and enable Secure Boot. When the system starts the PreLoader will detect an unauthorised image (the OpenBSD bootloader) and will offer to start the HashTool so that the loader.efi can be authorised.

07:02 matey; this is nothing i want to bother doing, and i dont own any machines that mandate secure boot

07:02 DaemonFC; If you're old enough to pick up a gun and point it at someone, you're old enough to die by one.

07:02 matey; "by using the Linux Foundation's PreLoader" <- im certainly not interested in this

07:13 DaemonFC; As long as they aren't hiding assets from the bankruptcy court, then they're actually not committing bankruptcy fraud.

07:13 matey; when i used to try to get straight answers about this stuff, i believed in the hype

07:13 DaemonFC; Because there's no law requiring them to give any money back to their marks.

07:14 matey; so when i couldnt get straight answers, i assumed good faith

07:14 matey; i dont do that anymore. stuff like this just increases my scepticism.

07:15 matey; i wonder who is going to be honest about the rest of the facts, because techrights spins things until its a pain in the arse to deal with as a "source"

I thought that it would be hilarious... and I was correct! it was funny as hell... anyway... I walked into the courthouse and the security metal detector sounded zimmm or whatever noise they make... so I was asked to empty my pockets! out comes a syringe and a spoon!!! ahah... they were all like: O_O meanwhile I was like rolling along the

12:22 DaemonFC; Just explain to the judge calmly, yet firmly, that the Illinois Department of Public Health code prohibits people under 16 from using a public hot tub and that you were just creatively enforcing the Health Code.

12:23 DaemonFC; It shouldn't have come to this, you agree, however if the hotel staff weren't going to enforce the Health Code, who would?

12:23 DaemonFC; So it works just like a Citizen's Arrest, when you think about it.

12:27 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Mozilla disguises layoffs by moving Firefox development behind a privacy fence.

12:27 DaemonFC; You can't read their mailing lists or chats anymore.

12:35 DaemonFC; It's things like this that make me consider going to KDE.

12:35 DaemonFC; They say they have no plan to stop developing GNOME Terminal because "power users" need it.

12:36 DaemonFC; I'm guessing that means the developers of GNOME themselves don't want to use Console. So what is Console for?

21:16 DaemonFC; About all it can do is open your default user shell and have tabs.

21:16 psydroid2; I switched to a USB SATA SSD after my microSD got damaged

21:16 DaemonFC; They've completely gutted GNOME Terminal.

21:21 DaemonFC; Daniel Pocock is a clown. If there are any good talking points about Debian anywhere on his site, they're gone as soon as you delve into this shit.

21:21 ulf; i wanted to know what you were trying to say about GNOME

21:22 DaemonFC; The fact that MICROS~1 and LOL! No! Vo is "sponsoring" DebConf is enough of a scandal.

21:22 DaemonFC; They want Linux to work so much that mjg59_ now admits what we all knew since I exposed them in 2016.

21:22 psydroid2; GNOME is becoming increasingly irrelevant and by doing these kinds of things they are only accelerating their demise

22:38 techrights_guest|24; Hello. Great video post: Attacking BSD and Linux in Name of Security. I started moving backward in hardware some years ago now. The newest hardware in my house is 2014. Even so, there was quite a bit of adjustments needed to run Linux. All of the questionable settings are disabled, and every hardware platform is set to compatible IPO

22:38 techrights_guest|24; Achi. Prior I had 2017 (ish) hardware and these machines, were boarderline with controls. The bios was unreal, and previous controls I had in earlier models, were removed. M$ has been incrementally retaining ownership of the hardware in each "upgrade" cycle. This just brings it front and center, out in the open, not so obfuscated. In

22:38 schestowitz[TR2]; Donald Biden

22:38 techrights_guest|24; essence they are moving to now licence the use of the hardware and the software. With ownership of said hardware being retained by M$, as well as the software. So it becomes a lease rather than a buy situation.

22:41 schestowitz[TR2]; like DaemonFC did with Lenoivo over the years

22:41 schestowitz[TR2]; made them go bonkers

22:41 schestowitz[TR2]; foxconn also

22:41 psydruid; I've been postponing any hardware acquisitions after that

22:42 schestowitz[TR2]; costs them a lot

22:42 DaemonFC; With Bogus Johnson going from Homeless Spikes to making it illegal to sleep anywhere except some place you have money for.

22:43 DaemonFC; Most US states aren't as bad as Boris yet. Illinois law theoretically makes solving homelessness a priority for the state and says they can't be denied any rights due to their status.

22:43 psydruid; the only UEFI machines I have are my main laptop and a few other ones I was gifted or bought used to give me some time to stay afloat until alternatives emerged

22:43 DaemonFC; In reality, the Chicago police beat them and set all their things on fire.

22:43 DaemonFC; Very equal. The state tries hard to "solve" it.

22:44 DaemonFC; The truth is even in the worst of times, most people still have a job and want politicians to get the homeless away from them where they don't have to help or feel bad or get asked for change.

22:44 psydruid; Bonus Johnson is always the life of the Covid party

22:45 DaemonFC; Like California, where mjg59_ lives, which actually had a law making it a felony to bring a homeless person into the state.

22:45 DaemonFC; The Supreme Court struck it down in 1999.

22:45 DaemonFC; Then California tried to make sleeping in public illegal.

22:45 DaemonFC; That was more recent.

22:45 DaemonFC; Fucking assholes. It's a state of fucking assholes.

22:46 ulf; i thought he is an Irish person, this is what wikipedia notes

22:46 DaemonFC; I mean, every state has a lot of them, but California is like 99%.

22:46 DaemonFC; They're so stupid too.

22:46 DaemonFC; Dump billions of gallons of Lake Mead on almonds.

22:46 DaemonFC; "DAMN YOU CLIMATE CHANGE!"

22:57 techrights_guest|24; "sales are oems" I agree with this, and certainly PC users can pick and choose their own parts, the problem comes when the parts manufcaturers get some kind of price cut for falling in line. There are alot of choices still for hardware, It is my hope it will not flow downhill to the PC parts market. Still, if adopted creates yet another

22:57 techrights_guest|24; barrier. I work quite a bit with BSD, and I do not think I could tolerate a peice of hardware that does not allow the install of an OS of my choosing. People who love computing, do their own builds. People who need one to just get by, are on oems, so it makes sense for M$ to target oems, they arent the tech savy, and by just building in that

22:57 techrights_guest|24; one barrier, it creates high probablility those users would never make the jump to linux. ever. They dont need to make a barrier for the tech savy, they just lock out the people who "might make the jump" . I think They are making this move to capture the would be converts.

23:25 phanes; we have sent millions of armed service members into battle with clear rules of engagement that they were able to respect even while /live mortar was being dropped on them/ and if those guys can do it so can the police

23:25 DaemonFC; So, you should just hand him your license, registration, and insurance, and then tell him you're sorry but you can't answer any questions at this time.

23:25 phanes; and if they can't do that

23:25 phanes; then maybe they're too much of a coward to be issued a firearm by the pd

23:25 DaemonFC; Be polite, but don't answer any questions. License, registration, insurance. Sorry, but I can't answer any questions at this time.

23:25 phanes; nothing more dangerous than a coward with a gun

23:26 DaemonFC; Nothing you say convinces the cop whether or not to issue a citation.

23:26 DaemonFC; He made up his mind when he started following you.

23:26 DaemonFC; You're either getting one or you're not. Unless you piss him off, but saying "I'm sorry but I cannot answer any questions at this time." is not a personal insult or anything.

23:28 DaemonFC; If a cop is being completely honest, they'll admit that nobody has ever talked their way out of an arrest or a citation.

23:28 DaemonFC; They have talked their way into one or into a jail cell.

23:28 DaemonFC; There are factors inside and outside your control. If they are going to cite/arrest, they'll do that. Arming them with more information to hand to the prosecutor makes it worse.

23:29 DaemonFC; The longer you talk, the more likely it is you'll tell them something they don't know. Or confirm something they suspected, and can now prove.

23:30 DaemonFC; There is now zero chance you'll ever get it dismissed in court.

23:30 DaemonFC; That's why they ask if you know why they pulled you over.

23:30 DaemonFC; "I was speeding."

23:30 DaemonFC; Cop: "He said he was speeding. He admitted it. What are we even doing here?"

23:30 DaemonFC; Judge: "GUILTY!"

23:32 DaemonFC; Most people can't keep their mouth shut.

23:32 DaemonFC; The cops know that.

23:32 DaemonFC; They use it.

23:32 DaemonFC; The guilty try to explain their way out of it and can't keep their story straight, or they feel bad about something and they just flat out admit it.

23:33 DaemonFC; The people who are not guilty talk, and they get steered into making incriminating statements by a cop who wants to go home and eat dinner.

23:33 DaemonFC; Only a few people don't say anything at all.

23:34 DaemonFC; In the US system, the cop can't get on the stand and try to imply that not talking to them means you're hiding something. The judge won't allow it.

23:35 TR Bot; today's leftovers | Tux Machines

23:35 TR Bot; Tux Machines today's leftovers

23:35 DaemonFC; It's nasty.

23:35 DaemonFC; In the US system, you can keep quiet and put forth any defense you want to later.

23:35 DaemonFC; You have nothing to gain trying to beg a cop who just arrested you for something, or who may arrest you.

23:36 DaemonFC; They already decided. They're not going to change their mind and get back into the computer and cancel the arrest and go "He said he didn't do it!".

23:36 schestowitz[TR2]; juust keep away

23:36 schestowitz[TR2]; out of their sight

23:37 schestowitz[TR2]; nothing to be ghained when

23:37 schestowitz[TR2]; the cops see anyone has a potential criminal

23:37 schestowitz[TR2]; or potential witness

23:37 schestowitz[TR2]; if you become a witness

23:37 schestowitz[TR2]; then the criminals might want to "get even"

23:38 schestowitz[TR2]; the cops' job is to solve crimes

23:38 schestowitz[TR2]; not yours

23:38 schestowitz[TR2]; don't become their volunteers/slave

23:38 DaemonFC; Yeah, it's better to say you didn't hear or see anything and you wish you could be more of a help. It's sad though.

23:38 DaemonFC; In the big picture, everyone loses.

23:39 schestowitz[TR2]; yeah

23:39 schestowitz[TR2]; esp. if they don't protect sources

23:39 DaemonFC; That's the fastest way to get rid of the cop. "I didn't see or hear anything. I wish I could be more of a help.".

23:39 schestowitz[TR2]; nobody will trust them

23:39 schestowitz[TR2]; or speak to them

23:40 DaemonFC; Because if they arrest that guy that was out there dragging his girlfriend through the hall by her hair, and then the judge lets him out with no bail....it's Illinois.....

23:40 DaemonFC; He can pick up his gun that he doesn't have a FOID card for, and shoot you with it.

23:40 DaemonFC; He may be arrested again, but you're dead.

23:41 DaemonFC; These people don't put a lot of thought into what they're doing. They're criminals.

23:41 DaemonFC; They fuck and they make more criminals and they're in and out of prison.

23:41 DaemonFC; It's what they do.

23:42 DaemonFC; The reason that they get caught all the time is because they're too stupid to evaluate whether the payoff is large enough and likely enough to not be punished to be worth the risk.

23:42 DaemonFC; And because they don't plan 5 minutes after the crime.

23:43 DaemonFC; When the cops tell them to get on the ground, they point a gun at them or run and then the whole neighborhood is on fire because of what ANYONE could tell you was going to happen next.

23:44 DaemonFC; If you tell the cop "I was adjusting my radio and didn't see the other car." then you've admitted to a crime.

23:44 DaemonFC; Adjusting the radio is "being distracted by an electronic device".

23:45 DaemonFC; They can't prove you were adjusting the radio at the time of the accident.

23:45 DaemonFC; Unless you tell them that's what you were doing.

23:46 DaemonFC; When I was a young driver, something came on the radio I didn't like, and I looked over to adjust the knob and crashed into the back of a semi truck.

23:46 DaemonFC; The trucking company filed bankruptcy the next day and so there wasn't a trucking company anymore to complain that I hit their truck.

23:47 DaemonFC; And the driver never complained or filed a claim because he got shit canned and it was a truck belonging to a liquidated company that was in bankruptcy court anyway.

23:47 MinceR; you crashed them right into bankruptcy?

23:47 DaemonFC; I just happened to crash into their company truck the day before they filed for bankruptcy.

23:48 DaemonFC; So the police went to investigate the accident and there was suddenly nobody complaining about me.

23:48 DaemonFC; That was like 2001 I think.

23:49 DaemonFC; I was pretty pissed that I needed a new hood, but the insurance company never heard about that, and the court couldn't make the ticket stick because the cop didn't write down the driver's name and then the 800 number he gave them was dead and there was no company to tell them who was driving the truck.

23:50 DaemonFC; The ticket had the trucking company's name and 800 number on it under the victim information section.

23:51 DaemonFC; So I went to traffic court and nobody else came and I pleaded not guilty and the prosecutor dismissed the ticket.

23:51 DaemonFC; I've had warnings and dismissed tickets.

23:51 DaemonFC; But I've never had one stick.

23:52 DaemonFC; Except for a seatbelt violation, but that was $15 an in Indiana law, that's a non-moving violation.

23:52 DaemonFC; So the insurance company can't do anything with it.

23:52 DaemonFC; I had some unpaid parking tickets, but those were campus police and I wasn't a student there, so they had nothing to hold over me if I didn't pay them.

23:53 DaemonFC; They never tell you the only thing they can do if you don't pay is withhold your transcripts if you're a student there.

23:53 DaemonFC; So I dropped them a note in the mail that said "Not a student. :)"

23:54 DaemonFC; They wanted like $70 per ticket (2003) and I had three of them by that time.

23:54 DaemonFC; I got a parking ticket once.

23:54 DaemonFC; I parked in a two hour spot for 8 months before anyone noticed.

23:55 DaemonFC; I was renting an apartment that didn't have dedicated parking, and it was attached to a bank.

23:55 DaemonFC; So I just parked it in a two hour spot intended for the bank.

23:55 DaemonFC; 8 months later, the city noticed and wrote me a parking ticket for $5 because that's how things were in small towns in Indiana back then.

23:55 DaemonFC; So I paid the ticket at the town hall.

23:56 DaemonFC; For the next 4 months, I parked my car in an abandoned cafe's parking lot until I got a note asking me not to park there anymore.

23:57 DaemonFC; So at that point, I started parking my car at a city lot.

23:58 DaemonFC; They had one that was $5 a month, so I paid it, and then I scanned it into my computer and changed the expiration date and kept printing one out with a new month on it and sticking it on my dashboard.

23:58 DaemonFC; The police never figured it out.

23:59 DaemonFC; Instead of using parking garages, I usually just leave the car at a busy supermarket or Walmart store for the day.

23:59 DaemonFC; That way they think I'm just in thee shopping.

23:59 DaemonFC; *there
