back to Techrights (Main Index)


beginning of new day, December 9

00:00 schestowitz; never ttust what a phama companies say about their OWN products

00:00 schestowitz; with patents that make lying alluring

00:00 schestowitz; and media manipulation affordable and seductive

00:00 activelow; a vaccine cannot be qualified with a simple percentage; this is complete nonsense, quackery.

00:00 activelow; it is like saying you could measure time with a thermometer

00:00 schestowitz; the vaccines were developed with our money

00:00 schestowitz; they should be be patented

00:00 schestowitz; but affortable

00:00 schestowitz; and tested by the state, not companies

00:01 schestowitz; *should not be patented

00:01 *betsy (~igloo@d9tvs44uyg5y6.irc) has joined #techrights

00:01 schestowitz; the for-profit companies and their motiveds undermine the policy

00:01 schestowitz; because they have financial incentive to NOT solve the crisis

00:01 schestowitz; but to prolong it

00:01 schestowitz; sad, but true

00:02 activelow; what's the time? 23deg fahrenheit. it's colder outside than during the night. 95% blah blah blah.

00:02 activelow; i want to see Chancellor Olaf Scholz, live on TV prime time, receiving his vaccination.

00:03 activelow; 95% snake oil.

00:03 MinceR; then you'll say he received some other vaccine

00:04 MinceR; or saline

00:04 activelow; don't care, main thing, it must be effective, to cure hime once and for all.

00:04 immibis; schestowitz: it's almost like a company spent 20 years developing easily alterable vaccines starting from SARS 1.0

00:04 immibis; activelow: The numbers I'm hearing from antivax morons are that 90% of people are vaccinated but they still make up 50% of hospitalized people, would you roughly agree with that?

00:05 hyperreal; Jfc. I'm running Fedora Xfce and the power management isn't working right, so I'm extremely indecisive about what distro to use now

00:05 immibis; schestowitz: weekly ivermectin makes them even more money

00:05 MinceR; hyperreal: maybe try void

00:05 hyperreal; candidates are Void, NixOS

00:05 activelow; immibis: those who received their first injection of the miracle are accounted for as "unvaccinated" because they had not received their "booster" yet

00:06 *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@hwnenetx9kxy8.irc) has joined #techrights

00:06 hyperreal; MinceR is Bedrock reasonably stable?

00:06 *GNUmoon (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) has joined #techrights

00:06 immibis; activelow: and that is a problem because?

00:06 activelow; immibis: furthermore, eldery people were vaccinated first i heard rumors, and it is them being hospitalized more often on average.

00:06 immibis; if I install a quarter of Linux, and it doesn't boot, I can't call it a computer with Linux until I install the rest

00:07 MinceR; hyperreal: i haven't had any issues with it, but it isn't for the faint of heart

00:07 activelow; immibis: chances are they might have died from their first injection - IMPOSSIBLE to know. impossible to verify.

00:07 MinceR; hyperreal: bedrock lets you essentially merge multiple distros together

00:07 immibis; activelow: Golly gosh, I wonder why that is! I wonder why they would give priority vaccinations to the group that got severely sick the most!

00:07 MinceR; hyperreal: i don't recommend nixos because it's systemd-based

00:07 *betsy has quit (connection closed)

00:07 immibis; activelow: People are probably dying from installing Linux as we speak

00:08 immibis; it's impossible to verify that installing linux is not killing people

00:08 *betsy (~igloo@d9tvs44uyg5y6.irc) has joined #techrights

00:09 psydroid2; Linux kills people, let's make a group on Textbook about replacing it with Windows

00:12 schestowitz-TR; immibis: that's not about risk

00:12 activelow; a severe killer known is trombosis; eldery people often do NOT drink enough water, which may or may not be related.

00:12 schestowitz-TR; or safety

00:12 schestowitz-TR; we're talking about efficacy here

00:12 schestowitz-TR; among other angles

00:12 schestowitz-TR; (speaking for myself)

00:12 schestowitz-TR; patent issues aren't a side issues

00:12 schestowitz-TR; ut a union of nurses called them "covid criminals"

00:13 schestowitz-TR; because it's wrong for them to be used to sell patent licences

00:13 activelow; reminds me, forcing elderies to eat and drink, even when doctors insist, is impossible, often. that's why some receive a probe into their stomach to provide them with nutrients and water.

00:13 schestowitz-TR; instead of treating people

00:14 activelow; immibis: now politicians boast about less excessive fatalities in germany, which makes me think how this could be related to enforced nutrient and water supply with a stomach probe.

00:14 *betsy has quit (connection closed)

00:15 schestowitz-TR; psydroid2: clinical trials by "likes"

00:15 schestowitz-TR; "like" if you felt better

00:15 activelow; at least a stomach probe is relatively cheap. while a blood cleaning procedure (trombosis, which could be related to insufficient water intake, kidney malfunction, and blood containing toxins) is relatively expensive

00:15 schestowitz-TR; squint for double-blindn testing

00:15 *betsy (~igloo@d9tvs44uyg5y6.irc) has joined #techrights

00:15 immibis; schestowitz-TR: well, efficacy is good enough that it makes a difference, and therefore at the very least, we should use it (all 4 shots) alongside other measures

00:16 immibis; There is some critical point, a critical amount of spread reduction, at which the pandemic simply goes away.

00:16 schestowitz-TR; we have not had that yet

00:16 schestowitz-TR; not in the UK

00:16 schestowitz-TR; barely in the US

00:16 immibis; we don't know what that is, but if we reduce spread more and more we are more likely to approach it. Unfortunately we are plagued by neo-fascists, plague rats, literal traitors to human civilization, who vote with their actions to NOT reach that point.

00:17 schestowitz; http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/category/health/

↺ http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/category/health/

00:17 TR Bot; Health

00:17 schestowitz; I use the official data only

00:17 activelow; in case of trombosis, oxygen supply was known to be ineffective occasionally due to lack of blood circulation, and dangerous even with intubation. not sure if elderies aged 80 or 90years should be intubated, or receive enforced nutrition.

00:19 activelow; the reason fatalities in saxony are high: aging population after millions of the young population left saxony after 1990.

00:19 activelow; in many regions more than 50% of the population reached retirement age.

00:22 immibis; don't know what you're talking about now. is it stupid anti-vax drivel or not?

00:23 immibis; get vaccinated, encourage everyone you know to get vaccinated, encourage vaccine mandates

00:23 immibis; wear masks, encourage everyone you know to wear masks, encourage mask mandates

00:23 immibis; work from home, encourage everyone you know to work from home, encourage wfh mandates

00:24 immibis; saying "vaccines are good but the government shouldn't mandate them" is a lot like saying "drunk driving is bad but the government shouldn't ban it"

00:24 activelow; none of this can prevent "excess hopsitalization", it didn't so far.

00:24 activelow; with regards to the corona spook.

00:24 *betsy has quit (connection closed)

00:27 MinceR; no, saying "vaccines are good but the government shouldn't mandate them" is a lot like saying "i don't trust governments"

00:27 activelow; the uncontrolled distribution of vaccines from different vendors with dubious claims can pose a higher risk than none.

00:27 hyperreal; MinceR thanks

00:27 MinceR; np

00:27 hyperreal; MinceR I'm just curious, what are your main criticisms of systemd? (I

00:27 MinceR; though many governments would probably do a better job at it than the hungarian one

00:27 hyperreal; (I'm not trying to argue, just wondering)

00:28 activelow; i want to see Chancellor Olaf Scholz receiving his snake oil shot with 95% efficacy live on TV, . he is first.

00:28 activelow; "mandatory vaccination", with corona in particular.

00:28 MinceR; hyperreal: it's being pushed on people who don't want it via microsoftesque tricks; it's designed to infringe on the users' freedoms; it's poorly designed, poorly implemented and very bloated, and isn't modular

00:29 MinceR; hyperreal: its development also churns the code in a way that makes forks impractical to maintain

00:29 MinceR; hyperreal: it's sold as an "init system", which it isn't; and it does the job of an init system very poorly

00:29 u-amarsh04; I gave up on systemd when it stopped allowing me to do remote reboots, exposing that it had not been tested in environments requiring remote restarts

00:29 MinceR; hyperreal: it can't boot reliably and it can't shutdown reliably

00:31 u-amarsh04; like when you don't have physical access to the box, XRevan86 and need to do an init 6 to load a new kernel

00:31 *betsy (~igloo@d9tvs44uyg5y6.irc) has joined #techrights

00:31 XRevan86; u-amarsh04: Sounds pretty standard. "systemctl reboot" and off ye go.

00:31 *techrights-ipfs-bot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

00:32 MinceR; "systemctl reboot" and then ask someone to go to the server in the DC and hit reset when it gets stuck in "a stop job is running"

00:32 XRevan86; u-amarsh04: The systemd watchdog has a 2 minute timeout.

00:32 u-amarsh04; it may work now but it didn't before

00:32 MinceR; and then have them find the emergency prompt hidden on an inactive virtual console so that it can boot

00:32 MinceR; (the latter comes up _after_ the reboot, during the boot process)

00:32 immibis; activelow: You don't really want to see that. If you saw that, you'd just find another goalpost.

00:33 XRevan86; u-amarsh04: There's no real difference between remote and physical.

00:33 MinceR; and then hope it actually managed to start sshd so you can log back in

00:33 MinceR; sometimes it forgets to start stuff

00:33 immibis; you wouldn't get vaccinated no matter how many politicians you saw get vaccinated on TV. You'd demand proof it wasn't a placebo, for example

00:33 XRevan86; MinceR: I did get that issue, on OpenRC.

00:33 MinceR; sad

00:33 MinceR; does that repair systemd somehow?

00:33 hyperreal; MinceR I see

00:34 MinceR; i got the "a stop job is running" bullshit many times, and eventually the emergency bullshit came up with every boot

00:34 XRevan86; MinceR: WORKSFORME

00:37 XRevan86; now that'd be a problem with a remote reboot :)

00:37 MinceR; XRevan86: dunno, never had an issue with that

00:37 MinceR; probably because those scripts aren't overcomplicated :>

00:38 MinceR; in the case of BSD-style rc, most of the rc scripts run the same code anyway

00:38 XRevan86; MinceR: systemd services are crazy-simple, and ye still complain.

00:38 MinceR; XRevan86: systemd code is very far from "crazy-simple", it's more crazy-complex

00:46 schestowitz-TR; LF: let's quote Microsoft employees

00:46 schestowitz-TR; for our press releases

00:46 schestowitz-TR; they do it all the time

00:46 schestowitz-TR; makes one wonder...

00:47 psydroid2; they've figured out the only way they can stay relevant is if they take over the entire software industry based on free software

00:48 psydroid2; so even when vista goes away they will have their pawns in everything and can monetise that

00:49 psydroid2; it's evil, but you have to be if you can come up with a plan like that

00:49 activelow; immibis: exactly. which should be possible too, easily, depending on wether it was 95% snake oil or not.

00:50 *techrights-ipfs-bot (~techrights-ipfs-bot@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #techrights

00:50 activelow; let's make a TV series out of it: "cross vaccination series" part 1,2,3,4,5,6.... then they say they're ready; and get injected the real things to see if it protected them or not.

00:51 MinceR; you'd need a lot of people for that

00:51 MinceR; small samples aren't useful

00:52 immibis; activelow: You wouldn't be satisfied with seeing a politician get a somehow-provably-real vaccine (that is an impossible standard of proof by the way) on live TV.

00:52 immibis; activelow: You'd probably then just write it off as "well I'm younger and healthier than that politician so I don't need it"

00:52 activelow; immibis: such as this, once Chancellor Olaf Scholz was fully vaccinated according his *own* "recommendations"; then harvest some of the finest corona slime from some of the homeless who had benefit from the generous "social security" (olaf scholz was responsbile for)

00:53 activelow; immibis: i did NOT recommend either vaccination or none. i say it was and still is *impossible* to know or recommend anything.

00:53 immibis; oh, adding another 10-30% chance of failure to the proof standard, before resorting to the "well I don't need it anyway"

00:53 immibis; it's impossible to recommend linux, what if linus torvalds is secretly google?

00:54 MinceR; and i doubt that the reality TV format would work with such a large number of participants

00:55 immibis; activelow: available data shows vaccines are good. the exact level of good is up for debate. and it would be nice if they were even gooder. but you play the cards you are dealt

00:55 immibis; also you do not stop a pandemic by deliberately infecting people

00:56 immibis; that is like stopping climate change by burning all the oil so there's none left

00:56 TR Bot; today's howtos | Tux Machines

00:56 immibis; because people wanted you to see the oil get burned on live TV to prove it wasn't being used to generate electricity or move cars

00:57 activelow; good point, so far NONE of the supposed "climate change" action had any relevant effect, except for cash grabbing of the exact same type of politicians

00:57 activelow; btw. lock-down won't have any either

00:59 immibis; In order to prove we aren't using petrol cars we have to burn all the petrol on live TV. true or false

00:59 activelow; your choice, not mine.


1 AM, December 9

01:00 immibis; i think if you want to burn all the petrol on live TV to prove we aren't using petrol cars, you're a complete moron

01:01 immibis; and the same for coronavirus. if you want to infect as many people as possible on live TV in order to reduce infection

01:01 activelow; you said you wanted to.

01:27 activelow; i mean, if Olaf Scholz wants 3 or more injections, to be certain he was protected, before receiving the real stuff.

09:47 CParadoxum_; This just opens the door for more sophisticated backdoors: How many contributers and maintainers even know rust at a glance? It's going to be very easy to insert unnoticable backdoors into the kernel.

10:54 schestowitz-TR; CParadoxum_: yes, exactly!!

10:55 CParadoxum_; This isn't good at all

10:55 CParadoxum_; Apparently Linux-Libre scrubs rust out for now

10:55 CParadoxum_; But I wonder how long they'll manage to hold back

10:56 CParadoxum_; HURD is still 32bit (but at least they might get broad driver support from linux 2.6 soon)

10:56 CParadoxum_; Hyperbola devs were on spot when they started working on moving to a BSD kernel two years ago, it seems...

10:57 schestowitz-TR; iirc, at first rustlang is for drivers

10:57 CParadoxum_; It's always like this

10:57 schestowitz-TR; so don't expect core stuff to be rewritten for the cargo vult

10:57 schestowitz-TR; cult

10:57 CParadoxum_; "You're schizophrenic! we won't take over the project"

10:57 schestowitz-TR; maybe IBM and Gulag are unable to recruit people who can code C

10:57 CParadoxum_; I think so

14:05 MinceR; dunno

14:06 schestowitz-TR; iis, ubuntu aliased them

15:56 activelow; otherwise i do not see any benefit of any employer to collect genetic samples of mine or keeping any medical record

15:56 schestowitz-TR; but I don't understand why crossing border is a thing

15:56 schestowitz-TR; I mean, two comtaminated countries

4 PM, December 9

16:00 activelow; Lauterbach argued this: March 2022 *everyone* will be either vaccinated, recovered, or dead

16:01 schestowitz-TR; I'm vaccinated

16:01 SomeH4x0r; I prefer dead then

16:01 schestowitz-TR; you are too

16:01 schestowitz-TR; you can also be vaccinated and recovered at the same time

16:01 schestowitz-TR; you can also be vaccinated and dead

16:01 schestowitz-TR; so it's a dumb sound bite

16:01 SomeH4x0r; fuck this society, if there is no revolution, I kill myself and that's all

16:01 schestowitz-TR; sounds good on the surface

16:01 activelow; i do not accept the "vaccination status" as any legal basis currently

16:02 SomeH4x0r; I don't want to participate in this shit

16:02 activelow; schestowitz-TR: reminder, in east-germany the "vaccination passport" was rewritten twice already

16:02 schestowitz-TR; but it's not about vaccinated per se

16:02 schestowitz-TR; it's about other isuse

16:02 schestowitz-TR; like government control

16:02 schestowitz-TR; and obedience

16:02 schestowitz-TR; there are side issues

16:02 schestowitz-TR; like patent monopolies

16:02 schestowitz-TR; grifting

16:03 schestowitz-TR; the R&D scam (unis doing rsearch with tax money, then privatising it or passing it to patent trolls) is not new

16:03 activelow; and currently the "recovered" status requires a PCR test (one only)

16:03 schestowitz-TR; it just resurfaces now in the context of covid-19

16:03 schestowitz-TR; but the greater questions aren't to do with patents

16:03 schestowitz-TR; but also quality of clinical trials

16:03 activelow; and this test is expensive, and must be repeated if it didn't show some anti-body or whatever other spooky thing

16:03 schestowitz-TR; people trusted vaccination, except for FRINGE GROUPS, for many decades

16:04 schestowitz-TR; based on the strict regulations associated with careful double-blind tests

16:04 schestowitz-TR; now they want to toss all that away

16:04 schestowitz-TR; it also serves to distract from other crises

16:04 schestowitz-TR; media stopped talking as much asbout thje climate crisis

16:05 schestowitz-TR; as pointed out by environmentalist

16:05 schestowitz-TR; it was all just covid covid covid

16:05 activelow; the mandatory testing is at least as evil as vaccination, because it can be impossible to acquire the "recovered" status

16:05 activelow; and then, this test had to be repeated indefinitely

16:05 schestowitz-TR; and also debates about overpopulation are almost impermissible

16:05 activelow; schestowitz-TR: not overpopulation, illegal migration is the first and foremost one

16:05 schestowitz-TR; those are related

16:06 activelow; yes

16:06 schestowitz-TR; some escape a lack of food security

16:06 schestowitz-TR; but the media does not explain this

16:06 schestowitz-TR; in conga/dr conga (of today) there were genocides over this

16:06 schestowitz-TR; with zaire/rwanda/darfour examples

16:06 schestowitz-TR; but they don't have much oil

16:06 schestowitz-TR; so media never cared much

16:07 schestowitz-TR; "they're just primitive"

16:07 schestowitz-TR; there were waves of stavation there

16:07 schestowitz-TR; populations tripled

16:07 activelow; same occured in Europe for centuries

16:07 schestowitz-TR; and european went to america

16:07 schestowitz-TR; mostly

16:07 schestowitz-TR; also some african colonies

16:07 schestowitz-TR; south africa, argentina, brazil

16:08 schestowitz-TR; so the european population just added territories

16:09 schestowitz-TR; the chinese did this in southeast asia

16:09 activelow; "European" is misnomer too

16:09 schestowitz-TR; indians to a lesser extent

16:10 schestowitz-TR; looking for opportunities outside the country

16:11 activelow; the roman-catholic sphere is far less closely related to northern Europe then it was to south-east semitic religious and cultural spheres; in particular language

16:12 activelow; however, that's history, related to reformation era, radical reformation, and settlers migrating to north-america

16:13 activelow; schestowitz-TR: the vaccination campaign reminds me of "forced baptism" which radical reformers rejected 500years ago already

16:16 schestowitz-TR; the vaccines are not a sect

16:16 activelow; schestowitz: maybe that's why EMA did NOT approve the russian Sputnik-V

16:17 activelow; schestowitz-TR: the recent vaccination campaign is a politically motivated propaganda scam by corrupt and murderous criminals who hijacked government in germany

16:17 activelow; and that's why it isn't any arbitrary analogy, forced baptism and vaccination are almost identical with their political practice and consequences

16:20 schestowitz; what's my point ^^

16:20 schestowitz; they only PUT OFF people

16:20 schestowitz; by making it about politics

16:20 activelow; same with the supposed "climate change" quackery, it isn't scientific nor motivated by ecologocial concerns

16:20 schestowitz-TR; the climate does change

16:20 schestowitz-TR; it's not quackery

16:20 schestowitz-TR; but that too got politicised

16:20 schestowitz-TR; for political gain

16:20 activelow; no schestowitz, the pandemic and vaccination campaign was politically motivated incitement to hatred from the beginning ("china virus")

16:21 MinceR; 09 171627 < activelow> schestowitz: maybe that's why EMA did NOT approve the russian Sputnik-V

16:21 MinceR; they did not approve sputnik v because the russians couldn't be arsed to submit documentation

16:21 schestowitz-TR; EMA is politicised

16:21 MinceR; probably because they know their crap will never pass scrutiny

16:21 schestowitz-TR; EU

16:21 schestowitz-TR; and Russia is "official enemy"

16:21 schestowitz-TR; US FDA is vendor-captures

16:21 schestowitz-TR; captured

16:21 MinceR; which vendor?

16:21 schestowitz-TR; which is a related problem

16:22 activelow; MinceR: you're sure about this? i remember the russians even offered support with construction of pharmaceutical production facilities.

16:22 MinceR; pretty sure

16:22 schestowitz-TR; in the US the corporations or their chief control the government compltely

16:22 CParadoxum_; If I may add to the discussion

16:23 schestowitz-TR; MinceR: re FDA, collective interest, shared interest, of lobbyists for patent cartel

16:23 schestowitz-TR; to keep the price of "health" and medication in the US laughably high

16:23 CParadoxum_; I have no doubt that China was working on a biological weapon or at the very least doing research on countering one

16:23 schestowitz-TR; so does the west

16:24 schestowitz-TR; probably russia too

16:24 schestowitz-TR; it's not illegal

16:24 CParadoxum_; And they did it irresponsibly (which is hardly surprising if you've ever worked with mainline Chinese)

16:24 CParadoxum_; The problem isn't legality or lack thereof

16:24 CParadoxum_; It's the handling

16:24 CParadoxum_; Scientists, especially well-funded ones, tend to get sloppy

16:25 schestowitz-TR; well, legality SHOULD be an issue

16:25 schestowitz-TR; like land mines are

16:25 schestowitz-TR; but trump made them legal again

16:25 schestowitz-TR; but ignoring the laws associated with it

16:34 schestowitz-TR; it's a lot easier for government to blame "NATURE" and "the unvaccinated"

16:34 schestowitz-TR; even when the current vaccines have low efficacy

16:35 activelow; it is both a political utility to dictate and enslave the population, by whoever controls the holy water or miracle tinctures

16:35 MinceR; baptism is a formal introduction into a cult; vaccination is showing your immune system what a pathogen looks like so it can protect you

16:35 schestowitz-TR; I agree with MinceR

17:58 TR News; #fsfe has meanwhile become Gulag Deutschland with #microsoft money on the side or the lap. They don't fight for your freedom but for corporate sponsors. If you still pay FSFE as a Fellow, then YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION.

18:00 TR News; ...The problem isn't #micosoft but the crimes of Microsoft and the general behaviour of Microsoft, which is nowadays shared among or across a number of other companies. So yes, Microsoft needs to be eradicated, but not only Microsoft. The problem isn't one that can be narrowed down to a mere brand but a concept and political, cult-like behaviour.

18:00 schestowitz-TR; SomeH4x0r: sometimes yes;

18:00 schestowitz-TR; like a very good developer or project

18:00 schestowitz-TR; in dire need of money

18:00 schestowitz-TR; for things like shelter and food

18:00 schestowitz-TR; example: sparkylinux in poland

18:00 schestowitz-TR; the developers just need food, server, roof

18:01 schestowitz-TR; the long timers

18:01 schestowitz-TR; they've chased away some of the infiltrators

18:02 schestowitz-TR; but only after a lot of damage had been done by them

18:02 schestowitz-TR; SomeH4x0r: if you have mnney to spare, support enimal lovers

18:02 schestowitz-TR; they cannot sell out

18:02 schestowitz-TR; they won't sell the animals for meat

18:06 schestowitz-TR; with a scented love letter?

18:06 schestowitz-TR; zemlin and his friends were always, all along, phonies and fakes

18:07 schestowitz-TR; with warnings about them going almost 15 eyars back

18:07 schestowitz-TR; we live in a world where drunksards and womanisers or people born ultra-rich can climb to the top

18:07 schestowitz-TR; and they based their career on lies

18:08 schestowitz-TR; to get a job

18:08 schestowitz-TR; and then use that job to get the next

18:08 schestowitz-TR; like fake claims of creating something

18:08 schestowitz-TR; shame on Torvalds for putting these people in charge of him

22:11 TR News; #censorship of Web sites at Web browser level won't be required anymore >by plugins< if the CAs control what sites you can and cannot enter, with browsers strictly enforcing the "naughty lists" and Pentagon-connected CAs making up lists. The notion of #security has been reduced to "national interest" (NatSec) and it's about control, mistrust, coercion.

22:13 TR News; The #www has become not just #spamfarm (very low signal to spam ratio) but also a mechanism of #socialcontrol and coercion. We need to get out and pull friends, family etc. out of it. And soon.

23:44 XFaCE; in RE: qubesos... insert Theo De Raadt quote about the fallacy of virutalization security

23:46 schestowitz; lovely!

23:46 XFaCE; in regards to which

23:46 XFaCE; it is a lovely quote

23:46 schestowitz; XFaCE: I had finalised my post earlier, mind if I add your version alongside it?

23:47 schestowitz; XFaCE: virt makes things worse

23:47 MinceR; also insert reminder that qubesos runs systemd

23:47 schestowitz; because there are more layers for interference

23:47 MinceR; in every VM

23:47 schestowitz; it's fedoira basd iirc

23:47 MinceR; because why run just one instance of a massive NSA backdoor when you can run several?

23:47 XFaCE; MinceR: but it's containerized, that makes it ok

23:47 XFaCE; qed

23:47 MinceR; and then call it "secure", because words don't have meaning anymore

23:49 schestowitz; MinceR: right

23:49 schestowitz; it's theatre

23:50 XFaCE; schestowitz: I have Matthew Garrett's rebuttal

23:50 XFaCE; "Fart fart fart"

23:53 psydroid2; that's simply amazing

23:53 psydroid2; hang on, we're going to have a hands-on session very soon

23:54 XFaCE; what?

23:54 psydroid2; I thought we were going to see a reBUTTal?

23:55 XFaCE; ba-dum-tsh

23:56 schestowitz; XFaCE: I have added your full version

23:56 schestowitz; as we made conflicting edits

23:56 schestowitz; and sort of miscommunicated how we'd edit

23:57 schestowitz; XFaCE: your version is a lot better than mine

23:57 schestowitz; we needed better tools for collaborative editing which involves broad rephrasing

23:58 XFaCE; probably still could revise it a bit more... also have a bit of sinus pain so I'm not firing on all editing cylinders

23:58 schestowitz; thanks a lot for your effort, much appreciated

23:58 XFaCE; schestowitz: Why I think Git + Groff or whatever is more the Luke Smith approach... simpler tools, simpler diffs, etc.

23:58 schestowitz; I'll post Daily Links in a few mins

23:59 XFaCE; No excessive web editors and what not, and more clear edit history

23:59 schestowitz; etherpad was nice

23:59 schestowitz; it was killed off pretty much

23:59 schestowitz; it 'had' to be killed

23:59 schestowitz; too competitive

23:59 schestowitz; I last tried it a year or two ago

23:59 schestowitz; FFII used to use it
