14:36 DaemonFC; Debian was starting to push back against IBM/Red Hat.
14:36 schestowitz-TR; in an effort to replace the originals with Microsoft-funded shills
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

14:36 DaemonFC; They should have just gone ahead and done both.

14:40 DaemonFC; But the Waukegan police department has a bad reputation that they have earned.
14:40 schestowitz-TR; in /r/rust they censors microsoft critics
14:40 DaemonFC; So without that, I would have said who knows what happened.

14:44 Ariadne; but i can say that the quoted messages from stephanie wurle are authentic
14:44 schestowitz-TR; bnchs: it's not worth the time
14:44 schestowitz-TR; when we did boycotttnovell in 2006 and 2007 reddit was already censorious
14:44 schestowitz-TR; microsoft and novell employees would park there, defaming me
14:44 bnchs; its full of NPCs that go with the upvotes
14:44 schestowitz-TR; the idea was to silence their critics
14:44 schestowitz-TR; to protect their salaeries
14:45 bnchs; they will say anything as long as it gave them upvotes
14:45 schestowitz-TR; reddit succumbed in their favious
14:45 Ariadne; my IEMs just worked with pipewire too

14:46 schestowitz-TR; she too has a lot to cover up (taylor)
14:46 schestowitz-TR; bnchs: don't know what that means
14:47 schestowitz-TR; but like I said, reddit is a waste of time
14:47 schestowitz-TR; it does ad campaigns with Microsoft
14:47 bnchs; i mean in other social media
14:47 schestowitz-TR; like pushing Internet Explorer
14:47 schestowitz-TR; because Microsoft paid them to do it
14:47 bnchs; they're associated with that
14:47 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft was also caught having paid astroturfing in reddit
14:47 schestowitz-TR; they deserves each other

22:07 schestowitz-TR; they did this to samsung and others
22:07 bnchs__; with what patents
22:07 DaemonFC; Yeah, the Galaxy phones just keep getting worse and more expensive.
22:07 schestowitz-TR; in samsung's case, they even sued
22:07 schestowitz-TR; bnchs__: microsoft OWNS Linux
22:07 schestowitz-TR; according to Microsoft
22:07 DaemonFC; The Pixel doesn't have bloatware and carrier junk.
22:07 schestowitz-TR; "we have a bunch of patents here..."
22:07 bnchs__; they could strip the code that was patented
22:08 bnchs__; or verify patents
22:08 schestowitz-TR; I had a pixel tablet a decade ago
22:08 schestowitz-TR; and it got worse over time
22:08 schestowitz-TR; gulag would change things
22:08 schestowitz-TR; without your approval
22:08 schestowitz-TR; your mail client would become gulag client
22:08 schestowitz-TR; spying on you
22:08 schestowitz-TR; and I didn't follow that shitshow long enough to see all the other bastardisation moves
22:08 schestowitz-TR; basically messing around with what you were using
22:09 schestowitz-TR; and changing the rules on the go
22:09 schestowitz-TR; the tablet had a mind of its own
22:09 bnchs__; i use a custom ROM on my LG phone
22:09 schestowitz-TR; it was controlled remotely by gulag
22:09 schestowitz-TR; and it would just change it anytime gulag (or maybe NSA) wanted
22:09 bnchs__; schestowitz-TR, tablets would have gulag anti-theft shit
22:09 bnchs__; they can track you down
22:09 schestowitz-TR; that was the last time I used android anything...
22:09 bnchs__; ring your tablet
22:09 bnchs__; or even factory reset it
22:09 bnchs__; (in case you had EVINDENCE)
22:10 schestowitz-TR; it has linux in it
22:10 schestowitz-TR; but as we said a decader ago
22:10 bnchs__; someone cracking your gulag account
22:10 bnchs__; would mean saying goodbye to the data in your phones
22:10 schestowitz-TR; having linux in something does not mean freedom
22:10 bnchs__; connected to the gulag account
22:10 schestowitz-TR; it just means it has fucking linux inn it
22:10 DaemonFC; They always do the best promotions for Samsung phones.
22:10 schestowitz-TR; we need to advocate for something more purposeful
22:11 DaemonFC; So I always get one, and then I'm sorry somehow because it has all sorts of horrible bloat I can't remove that spies too.
22:11 DaemonFC; They don't subsidize the Pixel 6 as much.
22:11 schestowitz-TR; i went to a shop with a friend 5 years ago
22:11 DaemonFC; Yes, it's Android, so Google.
22:11 schestowitz-TR; they had samsung tablets there
22:11 DaemonFC; But....
22:11 schestowitz-TR; I wasn't buying
22:11 schestowitz-TR; he was buying something
22:11 DaemonFC; No Microsoft, no Facebook crap, no carrier junk.
22:11 schestowitz-TR; but I saw the samsung things had microsoft crap in them
22:11 DaemonFC; It's like buying a PC.
22:11 DaemonFC; They make money with shovelware.
22:11 schestowitz-TR; that's when it was crystal clear android was not the way
22:12 schestowitz-TR; it's better than window
22:12 bnchs__; the problem is that you can NOT uninstall it
22:12 schestowitz-TR; sbut that's about it
22:12 bnchs__; you can't uninstall microsoft's shovelware
22:12 schestowitz-TR; you could ages ago
22:12 bnchs__; or the carrier's bullshit
22:12 schestowitz-TR; they made it harder over time
22:12 schestowitz-TR; same with 'chrome'books

22:39 schestowitz-TR; bnchs__: yes, it is becoming a "norm" over time
