00:02 schestowitz; "Shes working three jobs"
00:02 schestowitz; CLAIMS to
00:02 schestowitz; like gulagboy
00:02 schestowitz; buggy and gulag may both be unemployed
00:02 schestowitz; or very hbarely employed
00:02 schestowitz; MARISOL is a sociopayth
00:02 schestowitz; anything social control media says is suspect
00:03 schestowitz; and needs verification
00:03 schestowitz; i know other people who fake those things
00:03 schestowitz; adding many roles and job titles that do not exist
00:03 schestowitz; or only used to exist, very briefly
00:03 schestowitz; heck, Sirius claims to have 13 staff
00:03 schestowitz; they have about 4
00:03 schestowitz; i will blog more proof of this in the future, maybe when they shut down
00:05 schestowitz; DaemonFC: re google telling you what is "safe"
00:05 schestowitz; or deciding what you can run
00:05 schestowitz; sigStore is Gulag and Red Bait
00:05 schestowitz; via 'L' Foundation
00:06 schestowitz; accept their authority
00:06 schestowitz; over what you can run
00:06 schestowitz; or PUTIN WILL WIN!!
00:07 schestowitz; btw, notice how productive things have become since the IRC channel etc. had no hostile trolls
00:07 psydruid; Was the acquisition of Red Hat based on a secret deal between IBM and Microsoft to destroy free software?
00:07 schestowitz; good riddance
00:08 schestowitz; psydruid: Red Hat checked if Microsoft wanted to buy it
00:08 schestowitz; Microsoft did consider
00:08 schestowitz; but decided it would cause antitrust scrutiny
00:08 schestowitz; this was reported months later
00:08 schestowitz; Jim Allowhurst id not a Linux person
00:08 schestowitz; he uses Apple Mac
00:09 DaemonFC; schestowitz Did we do something else to deal with the Joker (and not the good ones either like Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger....the Trumpist Incel one from the movie "Joker" is more like Matthew Garrett).
00:09 schestowitz; just a corporate pendulum dude
00:09 schestowitz; DaemonFC: he's finished
00:09 DaemonFC; Jack Nicholson couldn't screw up a role he was in if he tried, btw.
00:09 DaemonFC; Great actor!
00:09 schestowitz; and may need a lawyer to deal with the cops etc.
00:10 psydruid; I'm convinced Microsoft is spying on my LinkedIn profile because I'm removing more and more references to Microsoft products from it
00:10 schestowitz; LinkedIn is obsolete
00:10 schestowitz; Microsoft wasted money on it
00:10 schestowitz; and I doubt it profits
00:10 DaemonFC; Psychiatrist: "Do you know why you're here, Mr. McMurphy?" Jack Nicholson (as Randall McMurphy) "Too much fucking and fighting I guess, doc..."
00:10 schestowitz; if it did, why so many layoffs?
00:10 schestowitz; just a vanity acquisition
00:11 schestowitz; Microsoft has no presence in the social control media space
00:11 psydruid; to control people and demote those who have an affinity for non-M$ ptoducts
00:11 schestowitz; or make it harder for them to find jobs
00:12 psydruid; the same thing they're doing on Github
00:12 schestowitz; i think we covered this before
00:12 psydruid; indeed
00:12 schestowitz; and some people told me stories to that effectr
00:12 DaemonFC; I didn't call Matt gross for being in a "partnership" with Buffy. I didn't ever say he was gross for having sex (if they do) with one partner, at a time. I said it's gross to "get mah dick wet" and be in a relationship where neither of you are committed enough to get married or at least only have sex with each other.
00:12 DaemonFC; "I can fuck whoever I want." is the mind of a damn teenager that's running around getting diseases and half the school pregnant.
00:12 DaemonFC; Not something out of the mind of a well-adjusted adult.
00:12 schestowitz; repugnant
00:13 schestowitz; he will try to press "RESET" on his life
00:13 schestowitz; that won't solve anything
00:13 schestowitz; drug addiction, financial issues etc.,
00:14 schestowitz; mind you,
00:14 schestowitz; his partner was sued for defamation
00:14 schestowitz; and pressing "RESET" does not change that
00:14 schestowitz; and covering the legal case is not "deadnaming"
00:14 schestowitz; is holding a terrible person accountable
00:14 schestowitz; for her(at the time) own actions
00:14 DaemonFC; She probably changed names to escape it, which is also against the law in many States.
00:15 schestowitz; Tor is not impressed
00:15 DaemonFC; If you change your name to get away from fraud, for deceptive purposes, or to disassociate yourself from a crime.
00:15 schestowitz; for all i can say, ISIS is unemployed
00:15 schestowitz; and without shower
00:15 schestowitz; after MONTHS
00:15 schestowitz; rianne corrected me
00:15 schestowitz; i thought it was weeks
00:15 schestowitz; it's months
00:16 DaemonFC; Illinois law says it's illegal to change your name for fraudulent reasons, to escape the consequences of criminal records, or to deceive people for any reason.
00:16 schestowitz; sociopath attracts sociopath... news at 11
00:16 DaemonFC; So I mean, that's what the law says.
00:16 schestowitz; then you say "deadnaaming"
00:16 schestowitz; and threaten people who point out the public record
00:16 schestowitz; because showing you did illegal things is "deadnaming"
00:16 DaemonFC; Changing your name won't stop criminal records from coming up if someone does a thorough background check.
00:17 DaemonFC; But it may be enough to fool a landlord or a small employer who just checks the county court or something.
00:18 schestowitz; yeah
00:18 schestowitz; DaemonFC: you'll turn 40 before buffy gets a shower
00:18 DaemonFC; LOL
00:19 DaemonFC; schestowitz Oh, dad had a heart attack and then sent me this weird email about it.
00:19 DaemonFC; Not weird by his standards I guess.
00:19 schestowitz; oh
00:19 DaemonFC; He's going to have surgery to clear the blockage.
00:19 schestowitz; sorry to hear, he is in his 70s iirc
00:19 DaemonFC; 71

01:13 schestowitz; DaemonFC: oh, again?
01:13 sebsebsebseb; zombie pc
01:13 DaemonFC; I've been looking into the problem and the cheapest way to fix it seems to be to get a remanufactured part without the brake fluid reservoir. It's the seals and stuff inside that go bad.
01:13 schestowitz; the "3 linkedin jobs" won
01:13 schestowitz; 't cover it
01:13 psydruid; I always expected the big commercial distributions to do this kind of thing
01:13 DaemonFC; So for $56 without the brake fluid tank you get a rebuilt part and just clean out the tank and keep using it.
01:13 psydruid; sebsebsebseb: .NET
01:13 sebsebsebseb; oh .nry

01:15 schestowitz; psydruid: well thre's windows sub system for linux even
01:15 schestowitz; 1. it is perishing
01:15 schestowitz; 2. it's a misnomer
01:15 schestowitz; it's just windows

01:17 psydruid; they hate Linux but love the money and control
01:17 schestowitz; going to record some videos in a few hours
01:18 DaemonFC; 2.53.17 kind of slipped a bit. It's mostly just one new JavaScript feature (a tiny one), build system cleanups, some code cleanups, and odds and security backports.
01:18 psydruid; and the backdoors
01:18 DaemonFC; So it's not a release that has a lot of user-visible changes to Web compatibility.
01:18 DaemonFC; It's just one that had to happen so they could get some garbage out of the way and then onto backports.
01:18 DaemonFC; Python 2 is now completely purged from the build system.
01:19 DaemonFC; The user can't see that, but they need to do it to make sure there's a platform to build more releases from.
01:19 DaemonFC; So sometimes it's a lot of work and the user thinks things are stagnant.

01:27 schestowitz; Torvalds said nothing really odd stands out for users of Linux distros from the latest 5.18 update, dubbing the kernel plain old boring 5.18. The news means that the merge window for the soon to land 5.19 kernel will open within hours, hopefully providing loyal users with a bit more excitement."
01:28 DaemonFC; So basically using a "byproduct" where their customers are funding a "community build" off to the side is okay with me.
01:28 DaemonFC; As long as the company isn't abusing people with it.
01:28 schestowitz; about 13 years ago he said the kernel should be invisible

03:20 schestowitz; gulag and his crazy friends online (more trolls) grossly underestimated us
03:20 schestowitz; and worse, they not only failed
03:20 schestowitz; it backfired
03:21 DaemonFC; Some of his crazy friends are actually in a position to damage things.
03:21 DaemonFC; Fortunately, most of The Wreckers, are Red Hatters, Wayland, GNOME people and the guy platforming him is with Endless OS whatever that is, so I'll avoid it.
03:22 DaemonFC; GNOME has been tarred and feathered with bullshit like that "security" screen. It's just not any good anymore.
03:22 schestowitz; yes, Endless OS too
03:22 schestowitz; the same clique
03:22 *asusbox has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
03:23 schestowitz; maybe next year they'll have already distanced themselves
03:23 DaemonFC; Debian almost made the right call to throw out systemd and GNOME entirely.
03:23 DaemonFC; Then backpeddled.
03:23 schestowitz; rianne uses kde, she never liked gnome
03:23 DaemonFC; Or at least demote GNOME to "available, but desktop gets you xfce".
03:23 DaemonFC; That would have been an improvement as well.
03:24 schestowitz; there is a debian GR, they need to enable systemd alternatives
03:24 schestowitz; over time
03:24 schestowitz; maybe they can sort something out with devuan
03:24 DaemonFC; What got me trapped on GNOME on the old laptop was HiDPI screen.
03:24 schestowitz; and maybe their bsd aderiv can be returned
03:24 DaemonFC; GNOME supported it, nobody else did.
03:24 schestowitz; they have a hurd one now
03:24 schestowitz; and adding risc-v support
03:24 DaemonFC; So unless you wanted to squint.... But now KDE can scale.
03:25 schestowitz; blue systems better than Endless OS
03:25 schestowitz; see their staff
03:25 DaemonFC; So there's nothing GNOME has going for it. It's a very broken HIG with toxic trolls and Wreckers, and an entire screen that misleads people that Microsoft is security.

06:04 schestowitz; I'll record later, after a shower with lots of HOT water
06:04 DaemonFC; So I reduced the size of the program to the minimum size of an open window and used it that way.
06:04 schestowitz; some people cannot blog... too itchy and smelly
06:05 DaemonFC; Then it responded to them that it was open. To block it from fetching ads I used the HOSTS file and 0.0.0.0

06:06 DaemonFC; The ToS actually said you would not interfere with the execution of the ad banner software. Changing the definition of the window didn't stop the code from executing on the PC. Also, blocking ad lookups at the HOSTS file didn't stop the program from trying.
06:07 DaemonFC; If it failed, it didn't try again until it was time to display another ad.
06:07 DaemonFC; So it didn't like, sit there and spam the CPU trying to get an ad.
06:08 DaemonFC; Technically the program was still executing and functioning normally, other than it couldn't fetch anything and the window was of an unexpectedly small size where I couldn't see the dead space.
06:09 DaemonFC; I didn't modify any Android programs. Their ability to contact a remote server is at my discretion.
06:09 DaemonFC; Maybe they should try loading the ads from a server that's essential to the program running? Or check to see if the ads are loading?
06:10 DaemonFC; They expect that some idiot will use the program and don't bother.
06:10 DaemonFC; It's not worth writing more code to deal with 1 user out of 100,000 that knows what to do about this. They don't cost you enough money to worry about.
06:11 DaemonFC; BTW, the same thing happens to ads in Android programs if you use Mullvad out of the F-Droid store with the DNS-based ad blocking on. Google Play makes that version get rid of it.
06:11 DaemonFC; Whether it is illegal to block ads has been tested in court. It's not.
06:12 DaemonFC; Not even in a German court.
06:12 DaemonFC; Bypass Paywalls......Okay Crazy Matt. Let's talk about that.

06:21 DaemonFC; Also, Crazy Matt, some news sites are too nasty to read in SeaMonkey, and impossible with JavaScript off.
06:22 DaemonFC; I do not run unnecessary JavaScript.
06:22 DaemonFC; So converting them to text to read means I don't have to go use Firefox and enable JavaScript.
06:22 DaemonFC; I wonder of fuck-enable-javascript.com is available
06:24 DaemonFC; I also have my browser delete cookies on exit with rare exception.
06:24 DaemonFC; Some paywalls are based on cookies and would be disabled just by doing this.
06:25 DaemonFC; I don't want Reddit to track me for 15 years and what I read. Gross.
06:25 DaemonFC; Fuck them.
06:26 DaemonFC; SeaMonkey has three options for cookies. Accept, Accept and then change the expiration to 90 days later, or Accept for Session. Also, enable third-party cookies or not.
06:26 DaemonFC; It's best to Expire at the end of session and allow third-party cookies.
06:26 DaemonFC; That way nothing gets broken from not being able to set a third-party cookie.
06:27 DaemonFC; But they all get wiped soon.
06:27 DaemonFC; You can override this for important sites and let those persist or expire in 90 days instead, regardless of the global cookie policy.
06:28 DaemonFC; I let Searx persist a cookie because it would just be aggravating to set everything up all over again constantly.
06:28 DaemonFC; I have a few others set at persist or expire after 90 days.
06:28 DaemonFC; SeaMonkey applies this to Local Storage too.
06:28 DaemonFC; And I have no disk cache.
06:29 DaemonFC; Sites can track you around by sort of getting a feel for what's in your disk cache and using it as one point of data for a fingerprinting attack.
06:30 DaemonFC; LibreWolf is a little more advanced. It has resist fingerprinting from the Tor project.
06:30 DaemonFC; I browse with that and window letterboxing.
06:32 DaemonFC; Everyone who is a reasonably smart computer user ends up doing some funny things.
06:32 DaemonFC; Clif Flynt told me that to screw the phone company on long distance calls, he routed his BBS activity to a friend who dialed another number and let him grab all the latest updates and it counted as a local phone call.
06:32 DaemonFC; Was that illegal?
06:33 DaemonFC; He worked for the Department of Defense!
06:36 DaemonFC; BTW Matt, the PMTU issue also happens to Wireguard tunnels on T-Mobile.
06:37 DaemonFC; You can get around this several ways, but the easiest is just encapsulating the tunnel in an obfuscated tunnel to the VPN.
06:37 DaemonFC; :)
06:38 DaemonFC; Once you appear to be connecting via HTTPS, the PMTU problem on the T-Mobile network is gone.
06:39 DaemonFC; I was running into this problem when I was on T-Mobile Home Internet and I sort of hacked around it with an obfuscated connection to the VPN.
06:39 DaemonFC; No big deal. Some overhead.
06:39 DaemonFC; The bigger problem is their network just sucks in general and their modems overheat and burn themselves out.
06:40 DaemonFC; I don't think they planned for people like me though.
06:40 DaemonFC; The modems heat up while you're transmitting data and when you're talking about a LOT of data, eventually they just overheat and fry themselves.
06:40 DaemonFC; And you get to play a real fun game of "Fuck, another one?"
06:40 DaemonFC; And they send you another.
06:42 DaemonFC; Also, you CAN use OpenVPN if you just become exasperated and can't get Wireguard to work for whatever reason.
06:42 DaemonFC; It didn't STOP EXISTING.
06:46 DaemonFC; You can't do much about T-Mobile's weird-ass PMTU issue. You can set your networking settings to not fragment the packets. Linux seems to figure this out. Windows just keeps it set to 1,500 and your connection is even more terrible without tweaking the OS, in the Command Prompt, which most Windows users probably know how to do. :P
06:48 DaemonFC; Also Matt, Gophereddit doesn't show me Reddit ads.
06:48 DaemonFC; There's no way it possibly could.
06:49 DaemonFC; I typically browse Reddit in a window snap mode these days.
06:50 DaemonFC; On the left is Gopher and on the right is SeaMonkey in case I want to click on the Web resource links.
06:50 DaemonFC; It's great. It just goes straight to the file usually.

07:30 DaemonFC; It's a legacy of the merger.
07:31 DaemonFC; They don't take away your existing plan, but you couldn't sign up for it as a new customer.
07:32 DaemonFC; Sprint had additional qualifications and although T-Mobile's plans say 55 only, that's if you're a new customer.
07:32 DaemonFC; So if you already qualified under the Sprint plan, you should keep it.
07:33 DaemonFC; I'm grandfathered in.
07:34 DaemonFC; Also, I qualify for the same phone deals anyone else does.
07:34 DaemonFC; So I walked into the store and got the Pixel and the iPhone with the full carrier subsidy.
07:34 DaemonFC; In several months I can upgrade and do it again.
07:35 DaemonFC; Don't quit your Sprint plan. No matter what you have, it's better than being on a T-Mobile plan, probably.

07:39 DaemonFC; You have to make a false statement of fact for this to apply.
07:39 DaemonFC; So that would be no.
07:40 DaemonFC; Also, in the Terms of Service for the Sprint plan, there were other ways to be on the plan, and those terms apply.
07:40 DaemonFC; It was actually the man from Sprint who signed me up.
07:41 DaemonFC; They could offer it for a number of reasons.
07:41 DaemonFC; Anyway, I'm not going to argue about my grandfathered Sprint plan that I've had since over a decade ago.
07:42 DaemonFC; I asked the people in the T-Mobile store if changing to a T-Mobile account would force me to change plans. They said no.
07:43 DaemonFC; I asked them if I could get a full carrier subsidy on a grandfathered plan, and they said yes, and sold me another phone.
07:43 DaemonFC; It still says Sprint plan on my statement.
07:45 DaemonFC; I don't know why anyone would be up in the middle of the night trying to make hay out of something 8 different employees and managers and people on the phone said I could have.
07:45 DaemonFC; It was a customer retention offer.
07:46 DaemonFC; It's their right to make any exception they deem fit. They don't advertise that they have customer retention offers because then everyone would ask.
07:47 DaemonFC; It's like how you call the ISP and say the bill's too damned high, and they go whoa wait, what do you know? If you don't use your hotspot, we have this cheaper one.
07:47 DaemonFC; There are actually chatbots to deal with ISPs for you now. Equifax even has one.
07:48 DaemonFC; Basically it just argues your bill is too high and you pay them part of what you save, which is somewhat bogus because you can always talk to the ISP yourself.
07:48 DaemonFC; When it's $80, they can cut it to $40.
07:48 DaemonFC; Who says they can't?
07:48 DaemonFC; They let it go up to $80 as a negotiating tactic. Some people will pay it, some will gripe and pay $40. They can obviously make money at $40 or they wouldn't do it.
07:49 DaemonFC; I have never, not once, paid full price for my Internet account.
07:49 DaemonFC; Ever.
07:49 DaemonFC; Usually, it's half. Why? I call them up and bitch about it every year.
07:50 DaemonFC; Am I going to bitch and bitch every year to save $500 that year on my Internet? Yeah.
07:50 DaemonFC; You can negotiate the interest rates on your credit cards.
07:50 DaemonFC; The bank set the rate. They can set it lower if they want to. Sometimes they do.
07:51 *oarion7 has quit (Quit: Running IRC on a charmed medieval abacus.)
07:51 DaemonFC; They don't want to lose customers to the prepaid plans or something so they have retention offers as a "We spent too much time on the phone with this guy. Get rid of him."
07:51 DaemonFC; Other carriers do it too.
07:53 DaemonFC; The name of my plan is actually really long. It's something like Sprint Customer Retention 2018 something or other.
07:54 DaemonFC; I asked the T-Mobile people about it. They say if you never get rid of it, you can keep it.
07:54 DaemonFC; It's got the same terms as the 55 and over plan.
07:54 DaemonFC; You're maxed at two lines, it's $55.
07:54 DaemonFC; You get the same amount of hotspot data. You get the same depropritization vs. full paying customers.
07:55 DaemonFC; So they degrade the plan and give it out to old people and folks who threaten to quit and go prepay.
07:55 DaemonFC; So like, in the evenings, my phone is really really slow.
07:55 DaemonFC; That's why.
07:56 DaemonFC; I don't really care because cell phones are minimally useful anyway.
07:56 DaemonFC; I mostly use F-Droid applications and they don't consume a lot of bandwidth.

10:39 schestowitz; yeah
10:40 schestowitz; then again
10:40 schestowitz; many other browsers are too
10:40 schestowitz; except the ones you struggle to recommend to a layman
10:40 schestowitz; because some sites visited might not work (fully)
10:40 schestowitz; anyway, some "modern" things are OK
10:40 schestowitz; some are really bad
10:40 DaemonFC; I joke maybe I'm the only one with a Chromebook that never opens Chrome.
10:40 schestowitz; it's not all or nothing
10:40 DaemonFC; I have SeaMonkey on it.
10:40 schestowitz; spoke to my dad for an hour about it this morning
10:40 DaemonFC; And things stay in SeaMonkey when you click on something in another component.
10:40 schestowitz; and how many people reject the bad things
10:40 DaemonFC; So I never really leave it much.
10:41 schestowitz; like chat applications that tell the other site "seen" or "not seen"
10:41 schestowitz; it's not a feature
10:41 schestowitz; causes user anxiety
10:41 DaemonFC; Yeah, mom said she messaged my Aunt one day and my Aunt saw it and never replied.
10:41 schestowitz; see?
10:41 schestowitz; in the past it was simpler
10:41 schestowitz; same with phone
10:41 schestowitz; "i was too busy to pick up the phone"
10:41 DaemonFC; It makes you look like an asshole who didn't think the other person was important.
10:41 schestowitz; "nothing personal"
10:42 schestowitz; "didn't even know who phones"
10:42 schestowitz; -> no conflict
10:42 schestowitz; (landline
10:42 DaemonFC; Yeah, so they tell you when the other person saw it and then you've been ratted out by a chat program.
10:42 schestowitz; those are problems i don't have
10:43 schestowitz; i have a full log from /var/log for murmur
10:43 DaemonFC; Google has moved this to SMS too, with RCS.
10:43 schestowitz; so i know who accessed it when
10:43 schestowitz; but if i'm afk, i'm not on it
10:43 DaemonFC; I texted Mark's repair man about something when he still owned the building.
10:43 schestowitz; nobody can "hpone' when when I'm afk or asleep
10:43 DaemonFC; The guy saw it and never replied.
10:43 schestowitz; many problems solved in one go
10:43 schestowitz; a lot of "mdern" thing is optimised for "ENGAGEMENT"
10:44 schestowitz; it can be very bad for you
10:44 schestowitz; but good for some company
10:44 DaemonFC; I hate Chrome.
10:44 schestowitz; biab
10:44 DaemonFC; You can't remove it from Android.
10:44 schestowitz; coffee break
10:44 DaemonFC; But I never open it.
10:44 schestowitz; poosted your two articles
10:44 schestowitz; tyhose will link from gemini to gemini
10:44 DaemonFC; So it feels like Internet Explorer on Windows did.
10:44 schestowitz; giving more visibility to yout capsules soon
10:45 DaemonFC; One thing that killed IE faster was their lack of enthusiasm for extensions and tabs.
10:45 DaemonFC; They said "Windows has a taskbar that groups things. You don't need tabs."
10:45 DaemonFC; That was mistake one.
10:46 DaemonFC; Mistake two was "You don't need extensions because you can write Browser Helper Objects in C and ActiveX.".
10:46 DaemonFC; Most Web programmers have no idea how to use C and weren't going to learn ActiveX. But they could learn how to extend a Mozilla browser with XUL.
10:47 DaemonFC; So Microsoft basically abandoned Internet Explorer entirely for 5 years and then didn't do much with IE 7 except add tabs. Which by then nobody cared about.
10:48 DaemonFC; Microsoft, maybe even Bill Gates, but definitely Microsoft announced that IE 6 would be the last significant update to their Web browser.
10:48 DaemonFC; They said you didn't need anything else.
10:48 DaemonFC; Only expect minor update bumps as part of Windows releases.
10:48 DaemonFC; The Web stops here.
10:49 DaemonFC; They fired most of the Internet Explorer team, or re-assigned them.
10:49 DaemonFC; They destroyed the division to where if they wanted to get it going again, they had already torn it down and had everyone who knew the codebase well disperse.
10:50 schestowitz; DaemonFC: see the other channel
10:51 schestowitz; sorry, multitasking too much today
10:51 schestowitz; it's hectic
10:51 DaemonFC; As Mozilla gained users, developers could use Web standards and say "Here's a Mozilla browser. Use this." and suddenly, IE was falling apart on the Web.

16:10 psydruid; Gulag Summer of Slavery '23 Final Solution Blog Post
16:10 schestowitz; many are in Microsoft prison
16:10 schestowitz; github
16:10 schestowitz; like gulagboy, they have not figured out yet how to do version control
16:10 schestowitz; and never started their own project
16:11 psydruid; I removed everything I could from github years ago
16:11 schestowitz; i never put anything there
16:11 psydruid; we were supposed to for some classes
16:12 schestowitz; we'd host our own git server
16:12 TR News; Pablo Iranzo Gmez: No matching key found https://iranzo.io/tips/no-matching-key-found/
=> ↺ https://iranzo.io/tips/no-matching-key-found/
16:12 TR Bot; No matching key found | Pablo Iranzo Gmez blog
16:12 psydruid; before they moved to self-hosted gitlab instances
16:12 schestowitz; they should teach git
16:12 schestowitz; not the attack on git
16:12 psydruid; no one really learns git
16:12 schestowitz; that's a shame
16:12 psydruid; they know how to use GUIs
16:12 schestowitz; so it's not learning
16:12 schestowitz; it's memorising
16:12 psydruid; I do everything from the cli
16:13 psydruid; because I learned it
16:13 schestowitz; you can write your own gui
16:13 schestowitz; but uusually it is less expressive
16:13 psydruid; I don't even know how to use GUIs for doing git stuff
16:13 schestowitz; in education they should teach principles
16:13 schestowitz; not "solutions"
16:13 schestowitz; cvs svn and giy have many guis
16:14 schestowitz; but the 'language' is the swiss army knife
16:14 schestowitz; so don't teach guis
16:14 psydruid; the last one I used was Gitkraken years ago
16:14 schestowitz; just like you donn't rach phpmysqladmin
16:14 schestowitz; but instead teach either sql
16:14 schestowitz; or mysql
16:14 psydruid; but if you know your way around the commands you can use git anywhere
16:14 schestowitz; and can work faster
16:14 schestowitz; e.g.
16:15 schestowitz; cd ~/Git/gemini
16:15 schestowitz; git commit *.html
16:15 schestowitz; git commit gemini_*
16:15 schestowitz; cp * /tmp/backup
16:15 schestowitz; with a gui you have to do more work
16:15 schestowitz; unless you work like a bot
16:16 schestowitz; very rigid
16:16 psydruid; there is also git functionality in IDEs
16:16 psydruid; but it's different for each of those
16:16 schestowitz; gzip pages.gz *.html && git add pages.gz
16:16 psydruid; so I just use the cli
16:16 psydruid; it's faster and the same everywhere
16:17 schestowitz; the IDEs change all the time
16:17 schestowitz; the language does not
16:17 schestowitz; you can also script it
16:17 schestowitz; i have one terminal showing me latest changes and last time of change
16:17 psydruid; there is a role for universities to teach these things, but they don't do it
16:17 schestowitz; with expansion of which files changed
16:17 schestowitz; every 10 mins
16:18 *Snuupy has quit (Quit: leaving)
16:18 psydruid; their job isn't just to produce code monkeys who know their way around industry products
16:18 schestowitz; this could be turned into gui
16:18 schestowitz; with some one-liners
16:18 schestowitz; but no point
16:18 schestowitz; rianne uses command line for rss feeds now
16:18 schestowitz; fasters than quiterss gui
16:18 schestowitz; we wrote our own rss tools

16:20 psydruid; I think they started out with SourceTree at university
16:20 psydruid; but it turned out to be buggy and was also only available for Windows and macOS
16:20 psydruid; so in our group we all learned the cli for git
16:21 psydruid; and that's what I've been using ever since
16:24 schestowitz; it's better
16:24 schestowitz; you can write your own gui in minutes
16:24 schestowitz; for your specific project
16:24 schestowitz; instead of one of those "one size fits all" things
16:24 schestowitz; but then non-devs will freak out
16:24 schestowitz; because they never did gui
16:25 schestowitz; like gulagboy the microsoft mulke
16:25 schestowitz; *mule
16:25 schestowitz; his "skill" is using sexual insults
16:25 schestowitz; attacking women
16:25 schestowitz; and using tor to hide his despicable criminal behaviour
16:25 schestowitz; so he can blackmail those who expose his true self
16:25 schestowitz; a fraud

21:03 DaemonFC; It seems Google now just hands SeaMonkey the far less annoying "Classic" version of the search.
21:03 DaemonFC; I wonder when that started.
21:04 DaemonFC; No "AI" boxes that tell you to eat poison mushrooms and slavery was good.
21:04 DaemonFC; MinceR: GOOGLE AI: Slavery was good for the economy and increased certain people's access to capital assets!
21:05 DaemonFC; Also Google AI: What about all the benefits of the holocaust and poisonous mushroom soup? :)
21:06 DaemonFC; I wonder just how far you can push it. Like, can you force it to write a paper justifying the Nazis "putting disabled people to sleep" and the propaganda that they "pick your pocket"?
21:06 DaemonFC; Maybe. Depends on how you craft it I guess.
21:06 DaemonFC; That's how Language Models are.

21:10 DaemonFC; They should show Schindler's List in schools, around 3rd or 4th grade. They should use it to show children how evil people can actually be.
21:11 psydruid; You have work for your freedom and your meal. Alternatively you can go to food bank in Ottawa, but we're not going to help you get there.
21:11 DaemonFC; I was around that age when I saw the movie at my Aunt's house and it changed my thinking a lot. I mean, normally 8-9 year olds have no idea how awful people can be.
21:11 DaemonFC; The only people who should be hauled off to a camp and worked to death or shot and thrown into a pit are people like Peter Bright.
21:12 DaemonFC; I struggle to think of many other types that actually deserve that.
21:13 DaemonFC; The Illinois Compiled Statutes say that prisoners shall "be put to useful work for the benefit of the people of the State".
21:13 DaemonFC; But I have no evidence that's actually being done. It seems they just sit there and eat food and live in a cell I'm paying for with satellite TV, air conditioning, a free gym, and an occasional shower rape and prison shanky involving some of the nastier ones.
21:13 psydruid; to the*
21:14 DaemonFC; And then 5-6 years later, Governor Pritzker lets them out to rape and murder more kids in Chicago.
21:15 DaemonFC; Prisoners should be put to work doing something to benefit the society they've wronged, and the punishment should fit the crime. The molesters and murderers should be out there working on the roads from sun up to sun down until they die, with no healthcare.
21:16 DaemonFC; MinceR: I don't think they make them do anything. The median on most any county road here looks like the fucking dump.
21:16 DaemonFC; There's trash everywhere, old mattresses even.
21:16 DaemonFC; Get some prisoners out there with a pointy stick and clean the shit.
21:17 DaemonFC; Maybe when they realize that when they break the law, it isn't going to be super happy fun time, some will knock it off.
21:17 DaemonFC; And the rest can go get the trash, old furniture, and pieces that went flying off someone's car, and pave the potholes.

21:20 DaemonFC; Rule without Congress, invade Mexico and kill the drug cartels (also presumably without permission of Congress)....
21:20 DaemonFC; "He has called the LGBTQ movement a "cult.""
21:21 DaemonFC; Yeah, for some reason most Indians that move here end up being rather Trump-like.
21:21 DaemonFC; Which makes it all the more ironic that Microsoft Joseph (Cantrell....a Nazi and a drug-addled attempted murderer) said they should be deported.
21:22 DaemonFC; From Ramaswamy's positions, it sounds like if he was white the Nazis would fall in line behind him 100%.
21:25 DaemonFC; schestowitz New Landlord is advertising these units with a month to month lease. But he told the older woman next door that she had the option to sign a lease and he recommended it.
21:25 DaemonFC; So it sounds like a "whatever you want to do" type thing.
21:25 DaemonFC; A lease is more secure and you know what you'll pay, but you're stuck with it for a year.
21:26 DaemonFC; I will likely just sign another lease.
21:26 DaemonFC; Advertising to new tenants that they can go month to month sounds kind of bad though. It means you cycle through a lot of people, they're not staying here, and who knows what they'll do.
21:27 DaemonFC; You agree to rent it to them for a month, they get in there, they can tear it up, they can have the cops out here, they can party all the time, and then just as soon as it began, it's over and you have someone else in there you don't know.

21:31 DaemonFC; Taiwanese Independence? Yes.
21:31 DaemonFC; Gun in every household. Of course. That should be the law in every country with the exception of criminals and nutcases.

21:33 DaemonFC; Bill Clinton isn't the worst President ever, but he was a Bubba and he agreed to burn down the middle class. The fact that he did this and he's not the worst President ever shows that we have serious problems in this country.
21:34 DaemonFC; Bill Clinton is the reason there's not 11,000 Americans making TVs in Indiana, and that's not even the tip of the iceberg.
21:35 DaemonFC; Hillary is a shrew and she's even worse, politically, than her husband.

21:36 DaemonFC; Don't install their malware when you already have our malware! -Microsoft Edge
21:36 DaemonFC; Our malware is better than theirs because WE make money spying on you!
21:38 DaemonFC; I'm not sure I oppose Free Software extensions ported to Edge though. ubo and NoScript do a lot of damage to other parasites.
21:38 DaemonFC; We see a lot of ad and tracking companies (including in San Francisco) making massive layoffs.
21:38 DaemonFC; If we starve the beast, the Web of Bullshit will be seriously crippled.
21:39 DaemonFC; The Web sites that rely on ad revenue to gaslight us will burn down and declare bankruptcy because nobody will pay even $1 a year for CNN.
21:40 DaemonFC; When I took the initiative to sit down and write one of the first, albeit crude, ad blockers, I deliberately targeted the worst and the largest ad networks that existed at the time.
21:41 DaemonFC; I was 14-15, and I specifically included a "public domain" license header although I'm not sure if it could be licensed. I just wanted it to spread and spread.
21:42 DaemonFC; And so I gave it for free download on my Web site, and then Mike on spyware-info (I don't think it exists, but it was popular.) asked if he could mirror it, and I said yes and started emailing him the weekly updates, and we had a lot of downloads.
21:42 DaemonFC; Then someone used it as a filterset for the Internet Junkbuster and later, Privoxy. At the time, they attributed their initial filterset to me and several other people.
21:43 DaemonFC; My motivation was specifically to attack the ad-supported Web sites in the pocketbook and hopefully start a trend where people just expected ad blocking or they wouldn't browse.
21:44 DaemonFC; I had no idea the open sewer the Web would turn into, but in a way I can declare victory because I helped start a mindset that the Web should be free of garbage and helped cause a significant amount of harm and layoffs to advertising companies.
21:45 DaemonFC; If I hadn't started the work of doing this, then someone else possibly would have gotten annoyed and done it anyway, but I'm glad I got it rolling earlier than it would have happened.

21:51 DaemonFC; Vivaldi actually has a pretty comprehensive ad blocker.
21:51 DaemonFC; I think they released it as part of the open source dump.
21:52 DaemonFC; They had adblock plus and ublock-origin code in the same repo which makes it clear they looked at the code to figure out how to write theirs.
21:52 DaemonFC; I got in touch with Raymond Hill to see if he thought it was a GPL violation and he didn't.
21:54 DaemonFC; It's not clear to me that you can ship GPLv3 extensions with a browser as a larger conveyed work unless the entire browser is under the GPLv3.
21:54 DaemonFC; If the user adds the extension themselves that isn't a problem unless they convey the work.
21:55 DaemonFC; One of the best parts of LibreOffice is that their code is licensed under the MPLv2 which means the Apache Foundation essentially has a dead office suite that can't copy the code. More correctly, they COULD ship LibreOffice code as long as they were willing to accept that all the code in the file in question was MPLv2.
21:56 DaemonFC; But they limit themselves to the Apache license even though the license itself would allow this mixing of code.
21:56 DaemonFC; So they have a dead office suite that pretty much can't ever reach feature parity due to their idiotic policy of only using their license.
