12:48 DaemonFC; But only within the city limits.

13:29 schestowitz; [11:58] <bnchs> throughout the internet, i'm noticing these sites that copy answers off of stack overflow
13:29 schestowitz; they do that to all sorts of forums
13:29 schestowitz; but search engines typically penalise them for it
13:29 schestowitz; so they're mostly wasting their time
13:29 schestowitz; in due course the advertisers ban them also
13:30 schestowitz; iirc, stack overflow pushes Microsoft ads

14:32 schestowitz-TR; debian DPL and co

14:32 schestowitz-TR; concerned raised internally by the fellows' rep
14:32 schestowitz-TR; amicably and politely
14:32 schestowitz-TR; but instead resulting in retribution and threats from fsfe
14:33 schestowitz-TR; then, they decided to destroy his career even well outside fsfe
14:33 schestowitz-TR; by targeting him as debian developer
14:33 schestowitz-TR; and that's where things went downhill
14:33 schestowitz-TR; years later fedora welcomed him back
14:33 schestowitz-TR; but back room politics, partly with IBM, worsened thinga
14:33 schestowitz-TR; canceling people is, in general, leading to nasty things
14:33 schestowitz-TR; which I do NOT endoese

14:34 DaemonFC; FSFE is being promoted by /r/linux.
14:34 schestowitz-TR; but that's where we are
14:34 DaemonFC; That ought to be enough of a warning that something deeply wrong is going on with FSFE.
14:34 schestowitz-TR; and we must recognise the situation isn't pretty
14:34 DaemonFC; The /r/linux folks never talk up the FSF like this.
14:34 schestowitz-TR; I also link to statements from the "other side"

14:36 DaemonFC; They were going to bring in Upstart and switch the default desktop to Xfce.
14:36 schestowitz-TR; FSFE and SFC are both bagging money from Microsoft BTW

23:15 DaemonFC; schestowitz, I could keep using my Galaxy phone, but T-Mobile has sabotaged the modem.
23:15 DaemonFC; They shut down the Sprint network knowing that it would ruin people's phones.
23:15 schestowitz-TR; Ok, I see..
23:15 schestowitz-TR; just give up on those gadgets
23:15 DaemonFC; And then they sent letters saying you MUST pick a T-Mobile plan that's 30% more expensive to get a new phone.
23:15 bnchs___; how did they sabotage the modem
23:15 schestowitz-TR; they add too little to your life anyway
23:15 schestowitz-TR; you are 38, you lived without them

23:18 schestowitz-TR; very expensive
23:18 schestowitz-TR; you could buy food for that much
23:18 DaemonFC; If I switched to T-Mobile's plans, it would cost 30% more for each line, I'd lose AAA, and they'd throw in Netflix.
23:18 DaemonFC; Which I don't even need.
23:18 schestowitz-TR; and food does not send your data to mother ship
23:18 DaemonFC; I don't use Netflix.

23:21 schestowitz-TR; [23:20] <DaemonFC> I'm a member because they do free service calls if my car breaks down.

23:21 schestowitz-TR; but you get to find dying dogs on the road

23:29 DaemonFC; They were an iterative improvement on the 800 series. The T-850 had upgrades to its power cells and to its endoskeleton to be more survivable to plasma weapon attacks.
23:29 DaemonFC; The 888 has more body templates (can look like anyone), a tougher endoskeleton than the 850, and upgrades to the CPU and software. It's smarter and it behaves more like a human.
23:30 DaemonFC; One successfully managed to be an impostor of a woman's husband for several months without her noticing.
