00:07 psydruid; dead rat is more nutricious when it is digested as a whole
00:07 schestowitz; microsoft nearly bought red hat
00:07 schestowitz; or bid for it
00:08 schestowitz; a year after it took over github
00:08 schestowitz; the reports from the press say,
00:08 schestowitz; microsoft turned that down ffor fear of antitrust action
00:08 schestowitz; and yet,
00:08 schestowitz; no action taken about githubn
00:08 schestowitz; pedophile peter helped with that
00:09 schestowitz; for a long time he seeded fake 'articles'
00:09 schestowitz; about how microsoft used and loved git, among other BS
00:09 schestowitz; anyway, i digress
00:09 schestowitz; about red hat,
00:10 schestowitz; seems probable this month they will say more layoffs coming
00:10 schestowitz; no longer based on what people told me
00:10 schestowitz; but based on what people online are writing
00:10 schestowitz; and show salient evidence for it

00:16 schestowitz; psydruid: it is not so simple
00:16 schestowitz; tbh, there is another outcome
00:16 schestowitz; not i feel 25 again
00:16 schestowitz; with novell
00:16 schestowitz; actually 24
00:16 schestowitz; and the goals
00:16 schestowitz; ruining novell was not killing suse
00:16 schestowitz; but removing the cancer
00:16 psydruid; there is a clear message here
00:17 schestowitz; that connected suse to balmer
00:17 schestowitz; suse is still around
00:17 psydruid; side with the enemy, get torn apart
00:17 schestowitz; the suse developers also still around
00:17 psydruid; so it is indeed like novell
00:17 schestowitz; yes
00:17 schestowitz; that is the goal
00:17 psydruid; and we shouldn't pity them
00:17 schestowitz; you defect, you die
00:17 psydruid; red hat was a perfectly profitable business
00:18 schestowitz; red hat did not defect
00:18 schestowitz; it got sold
00:18 psydruid; but greed is killing it
00:18 schestowitz; ibm might be partly defecting
00:18 schestowitz; first to apple under ginni
00:18 schestowitz; and now "clown"
00:18 schestowitz; msft, aws etc.
00:18 schestowitz; that is not a good goal
00:18 psydruid; and now dead rat will go down with icbm
00:19 psydruid; two for the price of one
00:19 schestowitz; not quite
00:19 schestowitz; let me explain
00:19 schestowitz; to explain how i see things
00:19 schestowitz; ibm did a lot for us
00:19 schestowitz; in the 90s
00:19 schestowitz; than sco
00:19 schestowitz; and it used "us" to fight microsoft
00:19 schestowitz; which had grown since the late 80s
00:20 schestowitz; after icbm had foolishly helpped bill gates' mom
00:20 schestowitz; because she was an insider
00:20 schestowitz; later she died from cancer
00:20 schestowitz; but then ibm pushed ODF
00:20 schestowitz; andd pushed back with novell
00:20 schestowitz; against SCO
00:20 schestowitz; at ssome point things went wrong
00:20 schestowitz; red hat was not doing well
00:21 schestowitz; and sought partnetships
00:21 schestowitz; around 2009 it did a virtualisation partership with msft
00:21 schestowitz; and itt had also abandoned the difhg thgainst swpats
00:21 schestowitz; it siought to artificially infllate its "value" using patents
00:22 schestowitz; and later sold them to ibm
00:22 schestowitz; like we kept warning one day it would
00:22 schestowitz; and then rms asked eben moglen for me
00:22 schestowitz; and said it waaas ok
00:22 schestowitz; but it diidn't turn out ok
00:22 schestowitz; their patents ended up not "peaceful"

00:22 schestowitz; ibm isss still suing companies for patent "uinfringmentt"
00:23 schestowitz; i need to restart barrier on this box
00:23 schestowitz; far too many typos
00:24 psydruid; why should anyone care about IBM or Red Hat?
00:24 schestowitz; we should
00:24 schestowitz; they control too much
00:24 psydruid; because corporations are people too?
00:24 schestowitz; stuff like networkmanager
00:24 schestowitz; and the salaries pay thosee devs
00:24 schestowitz; for now
00:24 MinceR; corporations are people, my friend!
00:25 schestowitz; psydruid: it is hard enough to get paid to hack free software
00:25 schestowitz; red hat gave some key devs a salary
00:25 schestowitz; for many years iut was ok
00:25 schestowitz; it funded fsf too
00:25 schestowitz; and gnu devs
00:25 schestowitz; and they didn't stick their coc in
00:25 schestowitz; then ibm came
00:25 schestowitz; and things are changing
00:25 schestowitz; the management is not the same
00:25 schestowitz; the real management
00:25 schestowitz; not the token "CEO"
00:25 schestowitz; matt
00:25 schestowitz; or krishna
00:26 schestowitz; the board of IBM
00:26 schestowitz; white men form ivvy league
00:26 schestowitz; they just want moneey
00:26 schestowitz; they have no grasp of community
00:26 schestowitz; or history
00:26 schestowitz; so what happened with novell was,
00:26 schestowitz; novell died
00:27 schestowitz; technically it was split and sold
00:27 schestowitz; so suse devs had no microsoft bosses
00:27 schestowitz; greg kh found another microsoft boss
00:27 schestowitz; sheela zemlin and her wife jim
00:27 schestowitz; then SAP stepped in
00:27 schestowitz; controlled suse for a number of yeas
00:28 schestowitz; SAP is like "Microsoft Deutschland subsidiary"
00:28 schestowitz; at one point miicrosoft neatly bought sap
00:28 schestowitz; you can find old articles about it
00:28 schestowitz; so back to ibm
00:28 schestowitz; i said around 2019
00:28 schestowitz; that the red hat people need to create red hat again outside ibm
00:28 schestowitz; this happened in free softrware many times before
00:28 schestowitz; like freenode
00:28 schestowitz; the staff quits
00:28 schestowitz; creates the same thing as before
00:28 schestowitz; elsewhere
00:29 psydruid; red hat was shopping itself around and filed patents
00:29 schestowitz; mariadb is one
00:29 psydruid; that sounds evil enough in itself
00:29 psydruid; and doesn't make me gain any sympathy for them
00:30 schestowitz; right
00:30 psydruid; well, let them create a new hat outside of red hat
00:30 psydruid; nothing is stopping anyone from doing so
00:30 schestowitz; there was an example i was gonna bring up and forgot while typing
00:30 schestowitz; it might come back latter
00:30 schestowitz; libreoffce was not a ccompany
00:31 schestowitz; psydruid: "IP"
00:31 schestowitz; IBM can try to litigate
00:32 schestowitz; they already obstruct access to RHEL code
00:32 psydruid; it sucks to be in the USA then
00:32 schestowitz; sso forks or compaanies like the one behind rocky (or alma) cannot quit attain fulll compatibility
00:32 schestowitz; i fforgot something else I wanted to say earlier
00:32 schestowitz; i need to write it down on paper or something
00:32 psydruid; maybe a new hat can be manufactured in Bangladesh

03:11 DaemonFC; The government steals money from the productives to subsitize the unproductives.

03:11 schestowitz; it is worse
03:12 DaemonFC; Almost heaven.
03:12 schestowitz; the government exempts the rich

03:14 schestowitz; in the uk they fill a form
03:15 schestowitz; in the past, not even that
03:15 DaemonFC; I don't often say this, but the government should subsidize birth control pills down to $0.
03:15 DaemonFC; They absolutely should.
03:15 schestowitz; they want to change this in poland now

03:15 schestowitz; weeks?
03:16 DaemonFC; Yeah, before that you had to see a doctor and get a prescription.
03:16 schestowitz; ah, so you mean the barrier
03:16 schestowitz; that you need to visit for papers
03:16 DaemonFC; Yeah, seeing the doctor is expensive. It's not even about the cost of the pills at that point if you're uninsured.
03:16 schestowitz; a month ago uk pharmacies started demanding you fill some forms
03:16 DaemonFC; Or underinsured.
03:16 schestowitz; but at no charge to you

04:20 DaemonFC; It's too cold still to want to be out there with the car jacked up.
04:20 DaemonFC; Walmart has changed some things for liability reasons.
04:20 DaemonFC; They ruined so many oil drain pans that they now have to use a vacuum extractor that goes down the oil fill tube to suck out the used motor oil.
04:20 DaemonFC; Which is fine.
04:21 DaemonFC; I'd rather them do that than strip the bolt.
04:21 DaemonFC; I think more shops should use vacuum extractors to change oil. There shouldn't even be a drain pan.
04:21 DaemonFC; It's just more shit to go wrong.
04:21 DaemonFC; The pan is a separate part that bolts on. It needs its own gasket.
04:22 DaemonFC; Those can rot and start leaking oil.
04:22 DaemonFC; If you were meant to get the old oil out with a vacuum extractor you could forego that and there'd be one less way the car can run out of oil and break down.
04:23 DaemonFC; When they rot and start leaking oil, it's about $400-500 to have a shop replace it.
04:23 DaemonFC; That's $30-40 for the part and the rest is labor, naturally.
04:23 DaemonFC; That's exactly why some cars have gone to "sealed" transmissions.
04:24 DaemonFC; You can change the fluid but it has to come out of the tube they filled it with at the factory and stuck a dipstick in.
04:24 DaemonFC; They're not really sealed, you just can't take off the pan.
04:24 DaemonFC; A lot of manufacturers say "sealed transmission" "lifetime fluid", but the truth is that it gets dirty and deteriorates. If you don't change it the transmission fails.
04:24 DaemonFC; So they lie.
04:25 DaemonFC; There is no entry for "change transmission fluid" on my car.
04:25 DaemonFC; But I have done it, twice.

04:50 schestowitz; Mark my words. Let's revisit this in 12 months.
04:50 schestowitz; Then again, perhaps McKinsey will recommend calling in KKR to load up the place with debt so that "value can be maximised" for a healthy profit before it all collapses and sold at fire sale prices, again with mass layoffs."

04:50 schestowitz; The guy responsible for Gnome can say that with a straight face?

04:50 schestowitz; "McKinsey, Bain, and BCG are well-known as the Dark Triad (try and find a single 'success story' among their 'achievements'. Below that it's "Send in the clowns" i.e. EY, PwC, (I stop here, because the list is too long). They're all doing alright for themselves, though."
04:51 schestowitz; ""they possibly were the worlds best open source engineering organisation. It wasn't by chance they got 80+% share of the enterprise Linux market. But back then the C-level & senior management, had a clue. (Aside from sales. They were a bunch of clueless tw@s even then)
04:51 schestowitz; Chris Wright has been at RH long enough to remember the old internal memo-list maillist, before management split it into friday-list to stop people openly flaming dumb management decisions. Before coming out with shite like that he should ask himself what reaction it would have got on there.
04:51 schestowitz; "That's a really odd thing for them to say because my brief stint with IBM was nothing BUT mundane, useless tasks. And of course pointed questions about why I wasn't getting my real job done. Nor someone else's.
04:51 schestowitz; Which was the last straw."
04:52 schestowitz; "While this is all true enough, it's likely not how IBM/RedHat are defining "mundane".
04:52 schestowitz; The key here is "highest value work", which is to say: most profitable for the big wheels.
04:52 schestowitz; The employees being "engaged" or having their "energy drained" is just window dressing talk; in this context "mundane" simply means "less likely to pad our fat executive bonuses"."
04:52 schestowitz; ""This project will help us to identify and remove mundane tasks that drain your energy so that you can focus on the most engaging and highest value work to make your job better."
04:52 schestowitz; The "most engaging" tasks are typically complex and demand a lot of mental effort & can be very draining after a few hours.
04:52 schestowitz; Mundane tasks (assuming mundane === easy) can actually be good as they give your brain a "cool down", where its not working at 100%, if you are on continual 100% mental effort work it's a path to burnout."
04:53 schestowitz; "Do you have any feedback you would like to give that wasn't covered in the above questions:
04:53 schestowitz; Yes, those clueless morons in suits who turned up last week are fucking annoying and keep interrupting my ability to work, by asking me questions aimed at justifying firing everyone and replacing us with cheaper unskilled labour. Can you ask them to kindly fuck off please?
04:53 schestowitz; Also, is this feedback from really anonymous like it says? I note that I had to log in to answer the form, after receiving a notification that I hadn't filled it out yet."
04:54 schestowitz; LOL, this is a good one:
04:54 schestowitz; "1. Our company/division/department is going to be doing the Great Things I commanded it to do.
04:54 schestowitz; 2. To help achieve that, we're going to be doing it with fewer people than ever before! ("Focusing company resources" == "paying salaries for a lot fewer of you")
04:54 schestowitz; 3. We're going to make your jobs better by getting rid of mundane time-wasters you're currently burdened with -- such as:
04:54 schestowitz; 3a. All-Hands Meetings where executives fling mindless, verbal shit at you, throw any feedback you give us into /dev/null, as well as targetting you for an R.A. since you had the timerity/stupidity to speak up when we said we wanted your feedback. (Well, no, we're keeping those.)
04:54 schestowitz; 3b. Employee surveys where we throw any feedback you give us into /dev/null, as well as targetting you for an R.A. since you had the timerity/stupidity to write something down when we wrote we wanted your feedback. (Well, no, we're keeping those, too.)"

Either job cuts or outsourcing (or both) are coming, or organisational culture is about to go down the toilet. Either way it's not going to be pretty...

07:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz: "Cantonese SPAM" tomorrow.
07:50 DaemonFC; Yum.
07:54 DaemonFC; And after relying on a longtime personal doctor and then two White House physicians who had attested to his well-being in office, Trump turned to an unknown on the national stage to provide this report: Bruce Aronwald, a 64-year-old osteopathic physician from New Jersey and a longtime member of Trumps Bedminster golf club.
07:54 DaemonFC; What's wrong with seeing a DO?
07:55 DaemonFC; > Donald Trump picked up a phone to pressure a Nebraska state senator to revive a winner-take-all system of awarding its Electoral College votes for president, the Nebraska Examiner reports.
07:55 DaemonFC; > Trump called State Sen. Tom Brewer (R), who said there wasnt time left in the session.
07:55 DaemonFC; > Trump then reportedly told Brewer, who is term-limited this year, that his political career was over.
07:56 DaemonFC; :)
07:56 DaemonFC; It's "possible" for Biden to win one electoral vote from Nebraska under their current system. Like Obama did in 2008 and Biden himself did in 2020.
07:56 DaemonFC; Trump is furious that this is even possible.
07:57 DaemonFC; I wonder what the internal polling by the Trump campaign looks like that Trump feels compelled to pick up the phone and bitch and threaten people over a single vote.
07:57 DaemonFC; It's a swingy vote. Trump won a single electoral vote from Maine twice I think.
07:57 DaemonFC; But thanks to ranked-choice, Biden will probably get it.
07:59 DaemonFC; Alaska also has ranked choice now, which could theoretically affect the presidential election. The Republicans are pissed about it because it gave them a Democrat in their at-large congressional district for the first time in several decades.
08:00 DaemonFC; Ranked choice basically removes the "noise" of third-party candidates. Instead of vote-siphoning, people there to vote for the Green Party may make Biden their second choice. Since the GP never wins anything, Biden would get the re-allocated votes.

08:01 TR Bot; DNC Hits Trump on Abortion in Florida
08:02 DaemonFC; The Democrats got Constitutional Amendments to legalize abortion on the ballot in Florida and Arizona. The Republicans were trying desperately to get rid of it in Florida.
08:02 DaemonFC; They don't want it fucking up some close House races, a Senate race where Rick Scott has never won anything by more than 2%, and maybe even the big one.
08:03 DaemonFC; It's more likely to nudge Arizona over into the Biden column but Florida has more EVs and would be a real jackpot if it's possible to win it based on a groundswell of young voters who don't like the State in their reproductive systems.
08:04 DaemonFC; Plus, Biden knows that people in general hate the Republican position on abortion and has already been running swing state ads with Trump admitting he's the reason why it's banned.
08:05 *eidolon has quit (Quit: )
08:06 DaemonFC; He loses on the economy and immigration, but if he can make it about other things, like abortion and healthcare in general, he may do better. I think it's smart to needle the Republicans on this issue. Remind people they're a theocratic party that tries to saddle them with kids they can't afford also tried to repeal their health insurance.

08:34 DaemonFC; Wow, what an exciting low carbon time to be alive!
08:34 DaemonFC; :)
08:39 DaemonFC; I think that instant coffee is how schestowitz decided to reply to the suggestion that microwaving tea is the correct approach.
08:40 DaemonFC; I used to work with a guy who did that. Just tossed the teabag in the microwave along with the cold water and let the microwave do its thing.
08:40 DaemonFC; Tea is just not real big here.
08:41 DaemonFC; It's recovered somewhat since we tossed the British tea in the harbor and tarred and feathered the British tax collector a few times and sent him back to England, and dropped the u from harbor just to really give it to them and then shot some of them.
08:41 DaemonFC; But it's still not what it was.
09:07 DaemonFC; psydruid:
09:07 DaemonFC; There's the Intel dumpster fire that can't be turned around. They say, at best, they will lose lots of money until 2028.
09:07 DaemonFC; Four years from now.
09:07 DaemonFC; I was at Walmart today and they had a Core i7 laptop (12th gen) with 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, and an Nvidia card, for $498.
09:07 DaemonFC; This is crazy. I remember when they had the market so segmented you'd be lucky if you could buy a Celeron with barely any RAM at all for that much money, and when the money was worth twice as much.
09:07 DaemonFC; They can't move inventory. They choke on unsold things from years ago and mark them down to where they don't even make money selling it.

18:42 Sompi_; and that's not "bare metal", it is just using UEFI boot services as its operating system

18:45 schestowitz; Sompi_: right..
18:45 schestowitz; that's why i asked youu
18:47 Sompi_; UEFI boot services make it easier to do actual high-level programs like that, but anything low-level that require actual control of the hardware (things that really are "bare metal") are harder and often impossible with UEFI
18:47 Sompi_; No-one needs an UEFI IRC client, but many need other partitioning scheme than GPT
18:49 MinceR; and many need reliable boot firmware
18:49 MinceR; instead of a massive OS full of bugs that you aren't allowed to fix
18:49 Sompi_; yes
18:50 Sompi_; full of bugs and arbitrary limitations that are impossed by a committee of people who designed it and did not understand what they were doing

It's really just marketing, and it's disappointing every time a project chooses it (especially now that Discord is going to start showing ads)."
