03:05 psydruid; This entire comment thread is ridiculous with a "Microsoft Spatial Text Engineer" arguing against WINE and in favour of native GNU/Linux games and using Windows to run native Windows games and applications

07:08 Techrights-sec; otr: where are the old articles?
07:19 psydruid; I wonder if this is a tactic employed by Microsoft across more media now that Steam is getting more traction
07:20 psydruid; I haven't seen them attacking Wine/Proton like this before
07:21 psydruid; Calling it "dubious", "possibly illegal", " technically inferior and obsolete"
07:21 psydruid; This Microshit company is getting really nasty now that its demise is imminent
07:24 schestowitz-TR2; hmmm
07:24 schestowitz-TR2; weird
07:24 schestowitz-TR2; remember in 2007 novell released a document in easter
07:25 schestowitz-TR2; about what it it had agreed with microsoft... regarding patents and wine
07:25 schestowitz-TR2; I can find articles we wrote 15 years ago
07:29 psydruid; They're also spinning it as being too cheap to want to buy a Windows licence, even though previous owners and I already paid for those on all of my laptops
07:29 psydruid; I just decide not to use is
07:29 psydruid; Rarely has a company been this deluded
07:31 psydruid; It's like all of those things from the 2000s are coming back now
07:31 psydruid; In reality the issues never went away, they were just hidden under the surface

09:11 Techrights-sec; I think it had been the sudo configuration which was the only thing blocking
09:11 Techrights-sec; the gemini page.
09:11 Techrights-sec; Yes
09:11 schestowitz-TR2; prior to this the capsule updated OK for a month
09:11 schestowitz-TR2; but anyway, now we have a clone of the system with those settings intact
09:11 schestowitz-TR2; I don't want ipfs to run only from one place because when things go south, it's already "too late"
09:12 Techrights-sec; However, I don't know anything about IPFS and don't really have the
09:12 Techrights-sec; background or interest for it. That said, there ought to be a way to
09:12 Techrights-sec; nice the daemon down either with nice or ionice or both.
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; thw www is going down the toilet
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; see today's IRC logs

09:13 schestowitz-TR2; "last... promise"
09:13 Techrights-sec; Yep
09:13 Techrights-sec; Just one more and it will all be perfect.
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; also conflating sites with random people who post there
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; and then insinuating that dfc posting shit makes the site liable
09:30 Techrights-sec; That conflation is getting pushed at the political level and M$ seems to be
09:30 Techrights-sec; making progress against the Biden administration in turning them against 47 U.S. Code 230
09:30 Techrights-sec; If "230" is removed, then M$ will have a free hand to censor as much as they
