04:33 TR News; IOC policies are not problematic because of "trans people" but because they open the door to the argument that for women to take steroids, e.g. to compete in boxing, is OK. And no limit shall exist, they can just take as many male hormones as they want. It does help.
04:35 TR News; The moment when/where fairness in sport ceases to exist it isn't about sports but about nutrition and supplementation, sort of like "bodybuilding competitions" where they really compete over anabolic steroid intake, not inborn gift, skills, or hard work at a gym (in other words, it's not a sport, just chemistry).
04:36 TR News; So Olympics have officially crossed the barrier where medals are awarded not based on merit but tricks
04:37 TR News; Sort of like GAFAM "competing" over who gets the most bailouts, debt, then gives the most data about people to regimes, advertisers etc. They compete based on who steals from and harms people the most.
04:40 TR News; Audience is the lifeblood of professional sport. If people tune in because of controversies, e.g. Marion Jones doping and crying, it's becoming melodramas rather than competitions. Olympics... sponsored by McDonalds.
04:41 TR News; Sports without rules are like planes that don't take off

06:08 IsambardPrince; > Part II: Why I did not buy a Macbook Air.
06:08 IsambardPrince; >
06:08 IsambardPrince; > Amazon had Macbook Airs on sale this week. I looked it over. Personally, I do think more computer makers should go to the ARM instruction set and design desktop class hardware. I see x86 and Windows as deeply intertwined, with many of the flaws of one exacerbating those of the other. Fortunately, by moving away from Windows, we're able to shed much of the baggage that comes with it.
06:08 IsambardPrince; >
06:08 IsambardPrince; > Unfortunately, right now, Apple is the only one doing this. There are some ARM board with DIY mini-computer kits you can get for not much money and sort of build yourself a little ARM-based "Mac Mini"-like system that runs various editions of Linux, and I think that's terrific, but none of the Pi devices are competitive with the performance of the Apple Silicon chips.
06:08 IsambardPrince; >
06:08 IsambardPrince; > Surprisingly, Apple hasn't been as hostile to the effort to port Linux over to the M series Macs as I had anticipated. They've done almost nothing to help, except getting out of the way and letting it run, which is more than what Microsoft has in store if they ever get their act together and port Windows to ARM devices and it doesn't result in a fire sale later because nobody wanted a Windows computer that didn't run any Windows
06:08 IsambardPrince; apps.
06:08 IsambardPrince; >
06:08 IsambardPrince; > Windows is only still in use due to aggressive bundling, government corruption, corporate corruption, and because of the ungodly amount of binary-only proprietary software that's been made for it. To an extent it loses compatibility with itself every time a version of it is released.
06:08 IsambardPrince; >
06:08 IsambardPrince; > Windows 10/11 are essentially a "really crappy rolling release" that mess with the binaries, libraries, included programs, and where each segment of data is in code, and lately they've been aggressively removing the really important compatibility holdovers from the Windows XP era, like DirectX 9. Since so many people are using it, they've managed to often make it work in spite of itself with really terrible security software that is
06:08 IsambardPrince; often wrong and "hacks" like porting over bits of Wine or even running virtual machines that emulate an older version of Windows (which can easily be done on most operating systems).
06:08 IsambardPrince; >
06:08 IsambardPrince; > But the "really aggressive bundling" part includes what I call "fake security features" like "Secure Boot", which had a major debacle affecting almost all systems that have ever come with it recently, but Microsoft has been expanding the hostilities to the point where they disable the Third Party Certificate that they sign the "shim" bootloader stub for Linux distributions with (for $99 from each distribution and ongoing fees,
06:09 IsambardPrince; apparently, they've been signing it with that certificate, probably to avoid being sued).
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > The problem is that when you turn the Certificate on, I've been told it can change the state of the TPM and cause the Bitlocker Drive Encryption to malfunction.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > Apple has a security chip, as most systems do now, Google's is the Titan, and Macs have "T2", but Apple hasn't done anything to prevent people from easily installing Asahi-based Linux distributions, including a variant of Fedora. In fact, Linus Torvalds himself (who started the Linux kernel) now uses a Macbook.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > Most of what's known about the Macbook hardware comes from a community reverse engineering things and writing drivers. The problem with that is the work is never done and you never get everything quite right. Apple hasn't really been documenting anything. But they haven't done anything truly awful like stop people from trying, so most of the hardware does work.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > There's a few problems I see with Linux on an M series Mac that would concern me.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > While Apple's Macbook hardware is reasonably well built and has excellent specifications, and if I was dictating hardware this is pretty much exactly what I would tell people to come back to me with, it is meant to run macOS.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > This means, for instance, the graphics chipset, while impressive, is not quite Vulkan or OpenGL compatible (very important graphics APIs), instead being built to handle Apple Metal (their API), so obviously nobody developing for Linux is going to write a Metal driver for Linux and even if people did, no existing software uses it because it's not an open standard. It's just similar enough to Vulkan and OpenGL that so far there's
06:09 IsambardPrince; OpenGL ES (Embedded Systems) support and I'm not sure how the rest is coming along. I've been told it's unlikely to ever support the entirety in hardware, and while that may not be blocking in itself (as lavapipe could probably stand in for the missing pieces and just run them on the M processor which are absolute performance beasts anyway and well suited to the task), it means work, work means time. I need something that works now.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > You also have to leave macOS around in some capacity to manage firmware updates.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > Unlike Windows PCs where you can just update the UEFI and pray to you don't brick your system one last time then hop over to Linux and destroy Windows, you have to leave the macOS alone even if it's just to shrink it to a small amount of space enough to boot into it once in a while for firmware management, but that does leave some of the SSD (expensive) wasted when I want nothing from macOS.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > You could remove macOS from a Mac, and replace it with Linux, but most people wouldn't. For starters, you'd have to take it to an Apple Store to ask them to fix it for you if you ever wanted macOS back, and the more people who do this, the more likely Apple is to figure Linux is "costing them money" and they'd better lock us out of our own computers like Microsoft is inching towards each year. You'd also be unable to update the
06:09 IsambardPrince; firmware, and on the Mac, the computer is largely defined by firmware in a way that x86 PCs are not defined by the (grotesquely incompetent) UEFI firmware. If you don't update the firmware on your Mac, it's likely that Asahi Linux will eventually need something from that update and won't work fully without it, so you'll just kick yourself.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > Also, power management is one of the hardest parts of a computer to get right.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > So many things are in play that it's not just a question of making it work, it's testing to make sure it does not corrupt the user's data when you turn that part of it on.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > Power management on x86 PCs (Windows and the majority of Chromebooks) is not great, but in many cases it's really bad on Windows because they turn things off when they're too buggy and it sabotages the system's "deep sleep states" (pc1 through pc10, many Windows computers can't make it past the first 2-3 package states even though there's like 10, so the Windows computers could theoretically run for 12-14 hours on modern Intel
06:09 IsambardPrince; hardware, but between hardware, firmware, Windows, and driver issues, it's usually more like 4-5 hours tops unless they've put the mother of all batteries in it. It's terrible. They're noisy, they're hot.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > Even Linux won't turn all power management on in an average x86 (started life with Windows) laptop, because power management is hard. It's hard to even say how terribly terribly difficult it is. That said, if you want to try, most distributions ship powertop --autotune as a system service that sets everything to good and can get you a few more hours than Windows, and I haven't blown myself up yet.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > But on an M series Macbook, power management under macOS is terrific. Many users see no more than 1-2 watts at idle, and the average Intel/AMD x86 PC with Windows idles at like 8-10 watts and Linux with powertop autotune idling at about 4-6.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > So Apple has done power management and done it well, but they don't tell anyone else how they did it, so that 16-18 hour runtime off the charger turns into 8-9 on Linux. Still not horrible, but obviously it 's going through the battery twice as fast, and there's some other quirks.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > If Apple documented the hardware, Linux would have better drivers, and I wouldn't even be talking about Chromebooks right now. It would be a shut up and take my money situation. And that's saying something given how cheap I can be, but when it comes to my computers, there's just a level of aggravation that I can't accept, which is why I haven't used Windows on anything I've owned other than a brief "can I make Windows 11 install on
06:09 IsambardPrince; a 2016 laptop that flies with Linux?" and I did and Windows 11 was horrible. Even with all the latest drivers, not the "drivers that time forgot" that Windows still manages to "half install" it was noticeably janky and managed to heat up a laptop that idles quietly and cool to the touch in Linux with powertop autotune.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:09 IsambardPrince; > In closing, Apple manages to frustrate me more than Microsoft sometimes. Their hardware is nearly perfect, not the trash that breaks down on you from Microsoft's PC partners, or a Windows OS that none of the cool kids have ran in years because it's flatly embarrassing, but at the end of the day I want to do what I want to do with it and the Mac won't let me. Not fully.
06:09 IsambardPrince; >
06:10 IsambardPrince; > While I get that you can kind of bling macOS out to be more UNIX-like, it's terribly clear that the audience is not a bunch of UNIX beards, it's hipsters and show offs. I get my food at Walmart and Aldi and often tear into my own car looking to fix something myself. I am not of them.

10:04 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: Firefox doesn't run as well as Chrome does on a Chromebook (in the Linux environment.
10:04 IsambardPrince; It's not unusable but it has noticeable jank.
10:04 schestowitz[TR2]; use gemini
10:04 IsambardPrince; I wonder if throwing MOAR computer at it will help.
10:06 schestowitz[TR2]; nope
10:06 schestowitz[TR2]; i have another approach
10:06 schestowitz[TR2]; from yourse
10:06 IsambardPrince; They obviously don't care if it works at all at Mozilla.
10:06 IsambardPrince; The titlebar buttons are missing in the Flatpak.
10:06 schestowitz[TR2]; mozilla's customer is not you, ryan
10:06 IsambardPrince; And the performance is worse than the Firefox-ESR from Debian's Apt repo.
10:07 schestowitz[TR2]; it's companies like facebook
10:07 schestowitz[TR2]; and assortted advertisers
10:07 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights
10:10 IsambardPrince; Yeah, they don't mind sitting there and looking awful next to Chrome apparently.
10:10 schestowitz[TR2]; firefox is not th product
10:10 schestowitz[TR2]; it is the carrier
10:10 schestowitz[TR2]; pocket is a product
10:11 schestowitz[TR2]; they also sell rebranded vpn

10:12 schestowitz[TR2]; and do not want to guard privacy
10:12 schestowitz[TR2]; *sell out
10:12 schestowitz[TR2]; suppose 100 million still use firefox
10:12 schestowitz[TR2]; and they can derive 10 us $ from each
10:12 schestowitz[TR2]; per year
10:12 schestowitz[TR2]; onb average
10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; that's a billion dollars
10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; then pay a thousand salaries
10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; 1000xx100k
10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; 100 million
10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; plus google paying 300m or used to pay them
10:13 schestowitz[TR2]; so about 3 dollars per user per year
10:14 schestowitz[TR2]; minus 5 million in mitchell salary
10:14 schestowitz[TR2]; because she is so f*ing awesome

22:50 IsambardPrince; I spun up a VM with Ubuntu and one with Fedora in it. This is getting pretty wild.
22:50 IsambardPrince; I can run several Linux distributions at once in the ChromeOS Flex Linux subsystem.
22:51 IsambardPrince; It's sort of like WSL except that it is actually Linux, does work, and isn't extending it with Microsoftisms and DirectX.
22:51 IsambardPrince; WSL is turning into the MSJVM all over again, but I dodn't think that anyone has a serious reason to use it.
22:52 IsambardPrince; It's like putting a Rolls Royce on top of a garbage truck and bragging that you're driving the Rolls Royce. (WSL)
22:53 IsambardPrince; The Linux environment on ChromeOS can't really hurt anything. If something goes wrong or there's too much of a mess in there that you don't want to clean it, you can just zap it with one button and start over.
22:57 psydruid; WSL is a failed attempt at stemming the tide and prevent an inevitable exodus from Windows
22:58 psydruid; I recently worked on some project with some friends and the one who had to work on Windows really had to run through hoops to maintain a workable development environment
22:59 psydruid; files would get corrupted and he had random weird bugs
22:59 psydruid; or code that shouldn't compile but compiled anyway
23:02 IsambardPrince; Right, Windows should never be the OS running as the Host.
23:02 IsambardPrince; Ideally it won't be running at all.
23:02 IsambardPrince; But at this point it's an OS to put in a VM if you have to deal with it at all.
23:03 IsambardPrince; Just making it fire up a Linux kernel sort of misses the point. There's really no reason a regular user should even install WSL if they use Windows, because all the important open source applications tend to have a Windows port anyway.
23:03 IsambardPrince; But on a Chromebook, the Linux environment adds a lot of value because that is the way to run desktop applications.

23:04 IsambardPrince; Plus, unlike Windows, which is a mess that's impossible to secure, and you'll only waste money and slow down your computer even trying, Chromebooks don't get viruses.
23:04 IsambardPrince; I've never seen a failed update that took out a Chromebook.
23:05 IsambardPrince; On Windows, these are nearly a monthly occurrence.
23:06 IsambardPrince; The cottage industry built around Windows problems, like fix it utilities, antivirus companies, and things like Best Buy Geek Squad, are having major layoffs.
23:06 IsambardPrince; Even though Windows is deteriorating.
23:06 IsambardPrince; If Windows had a stable userbase, then these layoffs in the "Windows problem" industry wouldn't be so severe.
23:07 IsambardPrince; Best Buy Geek Squad laid off heavily this year.
23:07 IsambardPrince; And the Windows section is shrinking.
23:07 IsambardPrince; They did a mod reset at the local store and I saw approximately 25% of the Windows PC floor space go away.
23:08 IsambardPrince; They used it to expand Chromebooks, Apple, and small appliances.
23:08 IsambardPrince; schestowitz-pi2: ^
23:08 IsambardPrince; For some reason, the only thing to hit the news was how they'll stop selling DVDs.
23:09 IsambardPrince; Best Buy seems to be pivoting away from Windows. There's more profit to be made from people coming in to shop for Apple and Chromebooks.

23:16 psydruid; if this is correct 3 out 10 customers are looking for Linux computers
23:16 psydruid; as a retailer you can't just ignore 30% of your market
23:17 IsambardPrince; In the US people seem to be tossing the Windows computer and buying a Mac or a Chromebook.
23:17 IsambardPrince; Usually a Mac from the chart data.
23:17 IsambardPrince; Microsoft's in a bad position when in each upgrade cycle, only maybe 6-8 out of 10 people keep Windows the next time around.
23:18 IsambardPrince; It's not a market that is growing and it's the only one that really mattered much to them in the first place.
23:18 IsambardPrince; If you can't keep users, you won't keep application developers, at least not ones that consider Windows the primary target.
23:20 psydruid; things will get wild when corporate developers start moving business applications away from Windows
23:21 psydruid; because that is one of its most important markets and strongholds
23:21 lightbringer; probably MICROS~1 will start shitting into Linux even harder if that happens
23:21 IsambardPrince; Does ChromeOS even use systemd yet or is Google still maintaining their version of Upstart?
23:21 IsambardPrince; The documentation still says ChromeOS is using Upstart.
23:22 IsambardPrince; That says a lot that Google would rather maintain Upstart themselves than bring in systemd.
23:23 IsambardPrince; They obviously have people who know what they're doing on the tech side of things while most Linux distributions have lost their minds.
23:23 IsambardPrince; In the Linux container there's technically systemd running in that.
23:24 IsambardPrince; But it's a VM and not in charge of the host, so its ability to fuck up your computer is very limited because you're only meant to interact with programs running under Linux in the container from within the context of ChromeOS.
23:26 IsambardPrince; Even if it is using systemd, it's not like the user has to touch it.
23:26 IsambardPrince; Which is just as well.
23:26 IsambardPrince; The documentation for systemd if there is any is usually wrong.
23:27 IsambardPrince; Because that was three entire Fedoras ago.
23:27 IsambardPrince; So by the time Arch has documented it :) it's already wrong.
23:29 IsambardPrince; It's not meant to be documented.
23:29 IsambardPrince; It's meant to test on Fedora users and sell to RHEL users.
23:29 IsambardPrince; Then the RHEL users have to pay for support because they don't know what the hell is happening.
23:29 IsambardPrince; Then IBM patches it for money.
23:30 IsambardPrince; Then a new release comes out and changes things there's no reason to change again.
23:30 IsambardPrince; And they'll be paying for upgrades for years.
23:30 IsambardPrince; It's delightful, isn't it?
23:31 IsambardPrince; If software got stable to the point it was boring and predictable then there'd be no money in selling support.
23:31 IsambardPrince; So buying support means that the people you pay never have any reason to make sure it's stable to the point of being boring and letting you get stuff done, and so it never is.
23:31 IsambardPrince; And then you ride with Osama, or something.
