00:01 schestowitz-TR; activelow: your german friend ^
00:01 schestowitz-TR; gtk FOUR
00:02 schestowitz-TR; NOW vis moe BELLZ and VISELS
00:04 activelow; i have nothing to do with GTK or any developer of this project; GTK2/3/4 was blacklisted, ireversibly, two days ago
00:05 schestowitz-TR; I programmed with GTK 1.x
00:05 schestowitz-TR; back then GTK2 was still new and experimental
00:05 schestowitz-TR; seems like version inflation
00:05 schestowitz-TR; maybe GTK5 is just 2-3 years away
00:05 schestowitz-TR; then they'll go GTK50
00:05 schestowitz-TR; and GTK 60
00:05 schestowitz-TR; like with GNOME
00:05 activelow; GTK is blacklisted, ireversibly, two days ago; i'll focus on sixel graphics support instead

00:06 activelow; not entirely sure about GTK1, shouldn't be too difficult, yet there is nothing using GTK1 anymore... why bother?
00:07 activelow; GTK2 is poisoned with cairo/pango/harfbuzz already; no thanks.
00:13 schestowitz-TR; minimalism
00:16 activelow; TeX, GNUPlot/Postscript, Sixel graphics can be very powerful, for scientific authoring, with a real unix shell

00:20 activelow; maybe, GNUPlot/Postscript can be skipped entirely, and instad TeX -> Sixel is possible directly, for both output inside terminal, and plotting onto matrix printer
00:21 activelow; i am not sure, historically, Sixel was dedicated to a DEC printer type, while Epson uses another bitmap format

02:24 DaemonFC; It seems like the stars are always aligned to screw over young people.
02:24 DaemonFC; WalletHub says that the average quote for a 40 year old with GEICO is $40 for what an 18 year old has to pay $237 for, each month.
02:24 DaemonFC; And when you think about it, that's a really shitty deal because the 18 year old is probably off to a minimum wage job, or doesn't even have a job and is already trying to deal with student loans.
02:25 DaemonFC; In most of the country, taking public transit is impossible.
02:26 DaemonFC; So Chicago appeals to young people probably despite the taxes and crime because it has higher minimum wages and you don't strictly need to own a car to get around.
02:26 DaemonFC; The car is more of a financial burden on young people.
02:27 DaemonFC; After they dig deep to pay six times more for car insurance, they still have the breakdowns, the routine upkeep, the $4.50 Biden gas...
02:30 DaemonFC; When I was younger and all of the traditional insurance companies were ripping me off horribly, I went to the direct-sell policies where they cut out the agents and just gave you a cheaper policy.
02:31 DaemonFC; I had been paying some fatass slob named John Mettler to do pretty much nothing. I had an accident (drunk hit me) and went to use my rental coverage while my car was in the shop and he tried to stop me from getting a rental car to commute in until I told him I was going to get a lawyer and sue him for breach of contract and lost wages.
02:33 DaemonFC; I had to get away from Insuretech again because Root Insurance had been offering me great premiums due mostly to having a very high credit score.

03:35 activelow; with an older codepath of libsdl1 directfb can be dropped entirely, that's interesting, and it's faster
03:35 activelow; and, this old code path is completely C
03:37 activelow; some of the related sources and ebuilds are more than 10years old, and disappeared, although useful on embedded
03:38 activelow; there isn't any vendor-specific hardware requirements with those
03:39 activelow; fluent DVD playback at fullHD, some older 3d games too at fullHD, flawless, on low-power cortex a53
03:44 activelow; i think any later than libsdl1 software-only for both mplayer and various games, meaning libsdl2 and surrounding aren't particularly "free" in comparison, from a developer perspektive
03:49 activelow; i mean, completely without any of the typical proprietary opengl/mesa/etc. which phoronix boasts about; libsdl1+fbcon on framebuffer console, that's it mainly
03:50 *bnchs__ has quit (Quit: Leaving)
03:51 activelow; strangely, the HDMI port of two different types of ARM SBC don't at least permit to freely switch to any standard of custom resolution
03:51 activelow; if this was working as it did for decades, this would make it slightly easier, to scale down to available resources

04:08 activelow; i am even more surprised the libsdl1+fbcon (no directfb anymore) codepath is absolutely clean, not a single line of code of c++
04:17 matey; fbcon lets you use the framebuffer without directfb?
04:18 activelow; framebuffer can be used without directfb of cause, yet directfb implemented some software-scaling, handling of input devices etc.

15:18 DaemonFC; But some drive belt systems seem difficult to quiet down just by design and Gatorback belts seemed to stop minor belt chirp.
15:18 DaemonFC; Buick actually did do something with this drive belt system that seems odd to me.

15:20 DaemonFC; Since they age and accumulate mileage together, it's a good idea to change out both at once if one of them is going bad, but some mechanics don't, or the customer just gets cheap, and then soon thereafter, the other one goes ahead and starts having a problem too.
15:20 DaemonFC; So by combining them into one unit, it means you have to replace both at once and it's only one part.

15:21 DaemonFC; I suppose GM wasn't only considering reliability though. Losing the separate idler gets rid of weight, and therefore, the drive belt can also be shorter and lighter, and the drive belt system will operate with less parasitic loss to drag/friction.
15:21 DaemonFC; So fuel economy theoretically goes up a little.

15:22 DaemonFC; I know that GM at least used to give a nice bonus to anyone who could figure out how to ditch some weight from the vehicles they built.
15:22 DaemonFC; I've been averaging 19.65 mpg on the Buick so far mostly city, and the Impala was getting like 16-16.5.
15:22 DaemonFC; The Buick is a heavier car, even.
15:23 DaemonFC; The 2018 KIA Soul+ averaged like maybe 25 mpg for me.
15:24 DaemonFC; So that's actually not all that impressive considering the massive downgrade in quality, driving experience, and engine power and torque you get with the KIA.
15:24 DaemonFC; A 2 liter Inline 4 should get much better mpg than a GM 3800 V6 in a Buick that weighs like a KIA and a half.
15:24 DaemonFC; But, alas, it does not.
15:26 DaemonFC; My guess is that the power to weight ratio on the KIA is not optimal and the transmission (continuously variable) has to run the engine at higher RPMs to produce enough power to actually operate the vehicle responsively.
15:26 DaemonFC; And that's turning the thing into a gigantic pig on fuel economy for the class of vehicle it is.
15:28 DaemonFC; I hate CVTs, because if you ask too much out of them they usually just go ahead and die and it's really expensive to do a proper rebuild job.
15:29 DaemonFC; The Japanese companies have been doing CVTs for a lot longer than the American car companies have, and even then they're known for fairly weak transmissions that you have to baby.

16:53 matey; hi
16:53 matey; MinceR i don't even know what the least bullshit option is <- probably bsd, but (all jokes aside) it really does depend on your definition of bullshit
16:54 MinceR; which bsd
16:54 matey; there are other options besides bsd... most of them are more difficult
16:54 MinceR; and why
16:54 matey; <MinceR> which bsd <- freebsd is the most microsoftian (other than that its not terrible)
16:54 matey; midnight signed the anti-rms letter
16:55 matey; (we start by narrowing it down you see)
16:55 matey; most flavours are based on github-- if i was content with that id have more options but no thanks
16:55 matey; if github didnt bother me id go easier on freebsd
16:56 matey; but most are even more github-based than freebsd, which "only" uses it for admin stuff (not code) and the package manager (i havent checked in a while though)

16:56 matey; netbsd only uses github for donations... afaik
16:56 MinceR; "admin stuff" as in bug tracking? afaik that's more difficult to migrate off shithub than code
16:57 matey; netbsd has the most non-free stuff. if youre just starting out and want non-free drivers
16:57 matey; i mean when i started with gnu/linux i wanted non-free drivers. the only reason i found out that most things worked pretty well (sometimes better) without them was trisquel made a version with the sugar platform
16:58 matey; at the time i was very interested in sugar, and it was because of sugar that i learned python (2009)
16:58 matey; it was because of sugar that i started using fully-free distros
16:58 matey; before python i was still trying to get by with qbasic and dosbox :)
16:58 matey; true story
16:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 18.15 k/sec., IPFS upstream 56.36 average k/sec., average swarm size 253.80
16:59 matey; of course id spent YEARS looking for an alternative
16:59 matey; sugar had a thing aimed at third years called "pippy"
17:00 matey; it made python easy and accessible (which it is, but it doesnt always LOOK like it is-- also its not in python3, blech)
17:00 matey; some people learn python 3 anyway. masochism
17:00 matey; its nothing but ironpython ii, microsoft product
17:01 matey; they lie and say python 2 isnt supported, when pypy2 supports it (for my needs, and the needs of anyone who wants to use python but doesnt want the rust-like version)
17:01 matey; by "rust-like" i mean constantly reinventing itself like some kind of digital grifter or webapi.
17:01 matey; i have no use for python 3
17:01 matey; and pypy2 maintains its python2 compatibility, incomplete (but substantial) or otherwise.
17:02 matey; like ill take a maintained python 2 over a complete one that has unfixed security holes
17:02 matey; i only use the included libraries, and tkinter which is technically also included (needed for idle)
17:03 matey; 38% of my file system is code, not including sgml
17:03 matey; if you include sgml, more than 70% of my files are code (not including the few things i installed or the many things that came with the system)
17:04 matey; so netbsd for non-free and sbcs, with the note that openbsd is WAY more free and netbsd has a fuck-awful installer
17:04 matey; and the note that these are starting points, not products
17:05 matey; to have a free software movement in the future, we have to start somewhere, and linux is only going to get worse
17:05 matey; when you start with that premise it makes things "easy"
17:05 matey; but i mean, maybe someone will fork linux. and maintain it.
17:05 matey; (but they wont)
17:05 matey; its the "maintain it" part i dont believe. you can fork it yourself.
17:06 matey; but then what, when people find holes youre going to fix them?
17:06 matey; you have a team of people working on that?
17:06 matey; its not impossible. its merely so unlikely that we would have to kid ourselves. but i could still be wrong.
17:06 matey; we see actual forks of bsd though-- proving that freedom 3 exists in practice, not only in theory
17:07 matey; openoffice was forkable, libreoffice exists
17:07 matey; but libreoffice decided that they would bloat it up until it was unforkable
17:07 matey; and theyre going to be in bed with collabora and gnome if theyre not already
17:08 matey; in other words openoffice is forkable but only because its team moved elsewhere
17:08 matey; and libreoffice probably isnt
17:08 matey; its too big (you can make your own jokes there)
17:09 matey; the larger a software package/suite is, the more complicated it is, obviously the larger or more talented (and/or wealthy as they can hire) a team needs to be to fork it
17:09 matey; gnu never gave a shit about that
17:10 matey; theyve built such a monstrosity (credit to gnu for being an order of magnitude smaller than llvm though) that nearly aims to be unforkable (this isnt about gpl)
17:10 matey; s/to gnu/to gcc/
17:10 matey; gcc is a monstrosity too, but not when you compare it to llvm
17:10 matey; so credit where credit is due
17:11 matey; of course its ibm gcc now :/ and microsoft llvm
17:11 matey; and if everybody sells out, TANGIBLE progress wont come until enough people are tired of it
17:12 matey; gnu says "you can help by using the software" but they dont say "you can help by forking the software into something easier to maintain"
17:12 matey; they want you to lift bricks onto the pyramid

17:13 matey; until it falls down
17:13 matey; i used to make fun of freebasic (it was bait and switch) for the same thing
17:13 matey; i said they were building a jenga tower
17:13 matey; they started with the goal of compatibility. that was total bait and switch
17:14 matey; they got obsessed with c compatibility (to be fair they built it with c, but they wanted to externalise that more-- not really basic at all) and used thin bindings, making "basic" statements with like 16 parameters, are you kidding me?
17:14 matey; they just started stacking up features with no coherence at all
17:14 matey; it became a monstrosity
17:15 matey; and i said they had no plan, no goals, no coherence, and no loyalty to what they set out to do from the start
17:15 matey; this is how i found python. i spent the better part of a decade looking for the "basic" of the 21st century
17:15 matey; and python was closer to basic than most of the new versions of "basic" coming out
17:16 matey; they were even farther from the advantages of basic than python was.
17:16 matey; not everyone likes indentation. i solved that one personally.
17:16 matey; who wants to import math just to use sin()
17:16 matey; i solved that too
17:17 matey; but the aftermath of freebasic was
17:17 matey; i fled to qb64, then to python
17:18 matey; years later, the fb authors are telling people "you probably want python" and freebasic is "more of an art project"
17:18 matey; you know what happens to every new basic language? every single one?
17:18 matey; it becomes a game development platform. which is okay
17:18 matey; unless you want to make utilities with it.
17:18 matey; or make something simple (which is what basic is all about)
17:19 matey; gnu is doing similar. its one thing to have packages that are too complex for most mortals to work on.
17:19 matey; i dont want a dumbed down encryption package

17:26 activelow; the least-bullshit option begins with a no-c++/c-only system

17:26 activelow; this excludes modern *BSD variants already
17:26 matey; <activelow> the least-bullshit option begins with a no-c++/c-only system <- thats a VERY specific definition of "least-bullshit" though
17:26 matey; so specific its more of an example than a definition
17:27 matey; its least bullshit for YOU
17:27 activelow; it is no coincidence, downgrading to gcc-4.7, wiping c++ compiler, and removing all dependencies against c++ exactly accomplishes this
17:27 activelow; the closest to what a least-bullshit system could be
17:27 matey; heres what i like about activelows approach: it DOES cut out a lot of bullshit
17:27 *SomeH4x0r has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
17:27 activelow; almost all of it
17:28 matey; it demonstrates the idea of removing things that get in the way
17:28 matey; yes it removes nearly everything (as would cutting out github)
17:28 activelow; the useful unix stuff is available
17:28 matey; and its easier to build, because its targets are very lightweight
17:28 matey; so i like all of that as a concept
17:29 matey; and im not joking
17:29 activelow; some time ago, c++ dependencies began attaching to man pages
17:29 matey; how did they attach to man pages
17:29 activelow; had to dig into the archives, to recover a no-c++ man page reader
17:29 activelow; an indirect dependency
17:30 matey; so i think the idea of c++ creep is worth looking at
17:30 matey; theres no good reason c++ should take over every c program
17:30 *SomeH4x0r (~someh4xx@zpv6niytxp9fu.irc) has joined #techrights
17:30 matey; whether that leads me to the same conclusion as you is to be determined but i suspect it wont
17:30 matey; what i DO agree with though
17:30 activelow; on gentoo it is sys-apps/man-db which requires groff, and groff requires c++ iirc
17:30 matey; is that IF we can demonstate the creep of c++ into everything
17:31 matey; as a requirement rather than an option
17:31 *wallacer has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
17:31 matey; i think thats probably not good and we OUGHT to fight that
17:31 matey; im not sure if i would boycott c++ fully like you do, i dont think c++ is that bad
17:31 activelow; it is an attack against unix, i do not want no c++ compiler/dependency to read and author man pages with unix
17:31 matey; but replacing everything c with c++ would be terribly unfortunate
17:31 *isak has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

17:32 matey; at any rate...
17:32 matey; the more that c++ takes over (and i want a second opinion on this)
17:32 matey; (and a third and fourth and fifth)
17:32 activelow; not (only) because of the language itself, because of the compiler requirements, and c++ creeping into where it does not belong
17:32 matey; the more it makes sense to promote c as a c++ alternative
17:32 matey; NOT beacuse every langauge deserves that sort of defence
17:33 gooseheaded; lol i was banned from freenode they reckon i was telling all of the opers that i was going to kill them.

17:42 MinceR; no, it's not a new testament
17:42 matey; imo most projects DONT need oop, but its promoted as a cure-all by people working on projects that actually benefit from oop
17:42 psydroid2; just make them 2 languages, C and C++
17:42 MinceR; it's a tool
17:42 MinceR; they already are 2 languages

17:43 matey; im against the nutters who say oop for everything
17:43 matey; and ive dealt with them for years
17:43 psydroid2; C for activelow and C++ for the rest of mankind
17:43 MinceR; those nutters should use java
17:43 matey; indeed!
17:43 MinceR; java enforces oop, c++ does not
17:43 matey; except that no one should use java :/
17:43 MinceR; or they should use smalltalk, if they can understand it
17:44 matey; my attitude towards java is similar to activelows attitude towards c++
17:44 matey; except that i dont think its as much of a threat (unless you use android)
17:44 matey; and kotlin is java, i dont distinguish between them. same problem, different language
17:44 MinceR; different language, same platform vm
17:44 MinceR; or rather, same virtual platform
17:44 matey; smalltalk is a cool language. i have no use for it. but its arguably the only good implementation of oop ever (even if thats not really true)

17:45 matey; with lisp, i avoid guile
17:45 matey; wont touch it

18:18 matey; and theyre a very bad step
18:18 matey; not because of that feature
18:18 matey; but because of the way its foisted on the user

18:19 matey; theyve actually said this to me

18:19 bnchs; just like how systemd is the only way it can be done
18:19 matey; the two seem to be in bed, but i dont know that for certain

18:20 matey; openbsd and freebsd have saner ways to do it
18:20 matey; and they dont trigger my ire or scepticism

18:23 activelow; two lines of shell script replacing the entire init system, lol
18:23 matey; remember when people used to do that?
18:23 matey; two lines of shell script replacing the entire init system, lol <- its a good place to start. the next step is to making an init system for people who need one
18:23 matey; and so it doesnt foist itself on people who dont
18:23 activelow; nonetheless, openbsd still uses an /sbin/init to respawn gettys, which isn't bad, yet i wanted to get rid of it
18:23 matey; not your job. but someone would do it of course
18:24 matey; yeah openbsd isnt out to MAKE people do things
18:24 matey; its not a product, its research
18:24 matey; that doesnt make it the answer to everything, but its a good place to start
18:24 matey; baph makes c++ optional :)
18:24 matey; so thats fun
18:25 matey; if more people made _________ optional it might become, you know, a think
18:25 matey; thing
18:25 matey; it might become another typo
18:26 matey; The freedom to NOT run the software, to be free to avoid vendor lock-in through appropriate modularization/encapsulation and minimized dependencies; meaning any free software can be replaced with a users preferred alternatives (freedom 4).
18:26 matey; peter boughton
18:27 matey; freedom 4 (the fifth freedom) is worth fighting for, because it was an intrinsic feature of unix (and thus gnu)
18:27 matey; gnu never adopted that however
18:27 matey; which is why gnu is falling apart
18:28 matey; gnu literally never cared about the benefits of that which made it easier to create gnu in the first place
18:28 matey; rms has clarified, he does not care about this
18:28 matey; its not a slander, its the truth
18:28 matey; and because he doesnt care about it, neither does gnu
18:28 matey; and because gnu doesnt care about it, they start with freedom 3 and actually work to destroy it
18:28 matey; not intentionally. just by design.
18:29 matey; design choices dont always do things that the designers actually want
18:29 matey; they want freedom 3, they get bloat and takeover instead
18:29 matey; its not like no one warned them
18:29 matey; they just didnt care
18:30 matey; to fix that, people have to care about freedom 4
18:30 matey; or repeat the mistake
18:30 matey; i dont know of any system that does a better job of freedom 4 than openbsd
18:30 matey; i would love to see some competition though. right now, the closest thing to that is baphomet os.
18:31 matey; i mean there are some great ideas there
18:31 matey; thats the truth
18:31 matey; people should at least consider them, even if they only fully implement the same (i wouldnt personally implement the same)
18:32 matey; this is what i mean by valuable research
18:32 matey; i expect some of it will be debunked though
