02:56 kingoffrance; Neither individual rights nor the common good take precedent in a sociological concept Etzioni called libertarian communitarianism.

02:57 kingoffrance; Outputs and not ideology are driving the new agenda of governance under New Labour. This is seen to have its roots in the new ways of working the party has embraced in local governance, where publicprivate partnerships have become the norm and a new ethos of public service has emerged.

02:57 kingoffrance; This transformation in governance was not solely a political shift of the progressive left. Following the demise of the UK Labour government, the Conservative-led coalition,

02:57 kingoffrance; The idea of the stakeholder society owed much to the reforms introduced by former UK Conservative Prime Minster, Margaret Thatcher. Under her leadership in the 1980s the pursuit of Reagonomics led the introduction of compulsory competitive tendering (CCT) for all local authority contracts.

03:01 -TechPolBot/#techpol-unlimitedhangout.com | NEA World Order

03:01 kingoffrance; there are people who say it goes way back to "carnegie unit" being replaced IIRC

03:01 kingoffrance; changed how testing was done....decades ago

03:01 kingoffrance; above explicitly distinguishes "utopian communitarians" from "marxists"

03:02 kingoffrance; (first link)

03:04 kingoffrance; i might have it backwards, carnegie unit replaced the prior

03:04 kingoffrance; quote wikipedia The Carnegie Foundation has stated that, while the Carnegie Unit system is imperfect, it is among the best measures we currently have of student learning, as well as too important for our education system, and for now it should stay.[4] In the future, alternatives such as a competency based evaluation system may be considered.

03:05 kingoffrance; its explicitly not "competency based"

03:08 kingoffrance; Today, the Carnegie Unit and the Student Hour are a cornerstone to the administration of higher education institutions. As higher education is undertaken by the "masses" in the United States, these tools provide the ability to manage and compare students, faculty, and institutions. These units continue as the basis for evaluating student entry into college, and for determining student completion of course work and degrees. Faculty workload, efficien

03:08 kingoffrance; cy, and evaluation are rooted in these units. And comparison among institutions, such as that undertaken by U.S. News & World Report, relies heavily on these units. Public and private administrators and state legislators also use these values for budgeting and planning purposes.

03:08 kingoffrance; just remember, none of that is based on competency :) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

03:09 kingoffrance; even with all the tracking, testing, "mastery" etc.

03:15 kingoffrance; anyhow, in either case, introduced 1906

03:16 kingoffrance; i think aside from all that -- what was high school graduation rate, let alone college in 1906? one can argue pro or against -- it is being used and twisted for situations it was never meant for

03:16 kingoffrance; "As higher education is undertaken by the "masses"" was definitely not the situation in 1906

03:17 kingoffrance; Again, the motive here was to standardize educational outputs and faculty workloads. Cooke established the collegiate Student Hour as "an hour of lecture, of lab work, or of recitation room work, for a single pupil"[3] per week <--- the word they love is "outputs"

03:17 kingoffrance; even though its not "competency" based, they still have to measure everything

03:18 kingoffrance; i think that is why people say this goes way back to that...

03:18 kingoffrance; aside from competency or not, that was the beginning of "outputs" IIRC

03:18 kingoffrance; or "communitarianism" or whatever you want to call it

03:19 kingoffrance; coming from.....not the "left" but monopoly "capitalist" the carnegie foundation

03:19 kingoffrance; i mean, it was PPP right at the start, under other names

03:25 kingoffrance; anyhow, that explains why they want people in classes listening to lectures; that is how things are allocated

03:29 kingoffrance; has nothing to do with competency

03:47 kingoffrance; i would dispute that " Outputs and not ideology are driving the new agenda of governance" "outputs" is an ideology, the ideology of any synthesis/partnership is permitted so long as it advances goals, when it is no longer useful it is replaced

03:47 kingoffrance; i mean, the marketing will be "inclusive" so the veneer is that it is non-ideological, but i would argue it is its own "output-based" ideology, regardless what mask it operates under

03:48 kingoffrance; its simply "end justifies the means"

03:48 kingoffrance; i think it tries to hide its "ideology" but does not mean it does not exist

03:51 kingoffrance; another way to say that is: compliance is valued more than competence

03:54 kingoffrance; and they'd rather have "managable" monopolies, not competence based, than non-standardized testing, even if it was "competency-based"

03:54 kingoffrance; "managable" is valued more than anything eles

03:54 kingoffrance; *else

03:56 kingoffrance; this also was "make the world safe for democracy" ...and the fed ....they felt if they didnt do something, the "anarchists" "marxists" "socialist" would skin them alive. so it was always "synthesis" in a way too

03:56 kingoffrance; it was "capitalists" saying you needed to redo things to "save capitalism from itself"

03:56 kingoffrance; and "world peace through world trade" etc. thomas watson

03:57 kingoffrance; that will mellow out hitler/stalin/whoever, give them more money

03:57 kingoffrance; or, give us all the money, and will sanction whoever we dont like

03:57 kingoffrance; *we'll

03:57 kingoffrance; to prevent war

03:58 kingoffrance; they figured some "communitarianism" would let them keep some "capitalism" else they would have none

4 AM, December 21

04:00 kingoffrance; anyway, that is why i noted the article distinguished "utopian communitarianism" v "marxism" .... that was what big business said as well. trust us, else the marxists are going to invade. not much changes over 120 years

04:01 kingoffrance; the "capitalist" made sure to distinguish themselves from "anarchists" "marxists" etc. and be "reasonable"

04:01 kingoffrance; it was the same 120 years ago :)

04:02 kingoffrance; s/felt/said/

04:04 AdmFubar; same program different marketing campaign

04:04 kingoffrance; ^ bingo

04:04 kingoffrance; "america first" got told tehy were "socialists"

04:04 kingoffrance; for not trusting the fed

04:04 kingoffrance; now "america first" calls everyone else "socialist"

04:04 kingoffrance; lol

04:05 AdmFubar; huh?

04:14 kingoffrance; peaceniks got called "socialists" for not wanting war

04:14 kingoffrance; that was the father IIRC

04:14 kingoffrance; criticize the fed -> socialist

04:15 kingoffrance; marketing worked same in reverse; reasonable "state socialists" would run for office, work within the system. if big business was taking over everything better to try and get your people in. some "socialism" better than none

04:16 kingoffrance; it was the "marxists" who were "unreasonable" . "utopians" "state socialists" worked within the system

04:17 kingoffrance; archive.org has that book filed under "topics Banks and banking, World War, 1914-1918" :)

04:32 kingoffrance; page 51 "We want to get the money as cheap that is, at as low interest as you give to the banks." <-- thats why he was called a socialist, trying to cut out the middle man

04:33 kingoffrance; page 47 "Mr. Politician: Take my word for it, we will give you plenty of help through the banks. We will give them imlimited loans, so they will have enough for all. " lol

04:33 kingoffrance; "See your banks. It is their business to help you and we will see that they are able to get the funds. The Government will supply the banks with all the money they need for all purposes."

04:33 kingoffrance; he wanted to go around the fed -- that was off limits

04:33 kingoffrance; he wanted the same deal they got

04:34 kingoffrance; anyway, 1917 he didnt see the fed as much of an improvement

04:35 kingoffrance; it was "more of the same"

04:38 kingoffrance; he saw them as "speculators" (moody "masters of capital" "capital" got redefined to credit/bonds/etc.) another heading: "You Pay as You Go or Never" -- i mean, it was all marketing calling him "socialist". but he figured if the banks got "socialism" the common person should get some too

04:39 kingoffrance; im not saying the name-calling had anything to do with reality

04:39 kingoffrance; but thats how the "reasonable" people branded him

04:40 kingoffrance; "reasonable" people would go to war, to save "capitalism"

04:41 kingoffrance; even though "capital" just a few years prior had been redefined

04:41 kingoffrance; im not saying marketing had anything to do with reality :)

04:41 kingoffrance; in reality, they wanted to save the new "capitalism"

04:42 kingoffrance; that was really credit/bonds/debt

04:42 kingoffrance; marketing has made the discussion near impossible by redefining terms

05:29 kingoffrance; maybe the irony is the "anarchist" "social revolutionaries" also saw "marxists" as "utopian"

05:29 kingoffrance; get a central bank the state will magically whither away? sure...

05:30 kingoffrance; no, you will just a new bigger state with more power

05:30 kingoffrance; change of rulers

05:30 kingoffrance; i mean, there was perhaps a non-state "libertian communitarian" option as well

05:31 kingoffrance; *libertarian

05:31 kingoffrance; you also have to "translate" where accusations/marketing is coming from i suppose

05:31 kingoffrance; *always have to

05:33 kingoffrance; "state" is overloaded too. america was supposed to be "by of for the people" "the people" were "teh state"

05:33 kingoffrance; i mean, you always have to "translate" that word depending on who uses it too

05:33 kingoffrance; under that definition, there is always a state.

05:34 kingoffrance; so both "whither away the state" becomes "change of rulers" and "anarchism" is "non-sequitor

05:38 kingoffrance; or, its just a game of who counts as "people" "some more equal than others" :)

05:40 kingoffrance; "i am the state and you can too" lol

09:28 -TechPolBot/#techpol-lkml.iu.edu | Linux-Kernel Archive: Re: [PATCH] Support new egcs/pgcc -mpentium(pro) options

09:28 kingoffrance; not that it matters, just what i said earlier

09:29 kingoffrance; quote Not quite, -mpentium appeared in pgcc, and I believe -mpentiumpro also. The next compiler that used it was egcs. Gcc was the last one of the gcc family with these switches.

09:29 kingoffrance; pgcc is an addon to egcs.

09:30 kingoffrance; BTW, GNU is recommending the -m{cpu name} not be used as it is > > going to be fazed out in the future. The new style > > is -mcpu=pentium, -mcpu=pentiumpro. (also -mcpu=586,686 if I remember > > correctly)

09:30 kingoffrance; at some pointer later -march was added IIRC

09:33 kingoffrance; my understanding is whatever they did special got merged back to mainline

09:33 kingoffrance; but at the time, that was how it was

09:33 kingoffrance; *point

09:34 kingoffrance; quote BTW, according to pgcc's web site to get the maximum, safe, optimizations > > using their compiler you should use the -O6 option

09:34 kingoffrance; i believe that went down to O3 at some point, anything else does nothing

09:34 kingoffrance; there was a window there though :)

09:37 schestowitz; I didn't know you were into compilers

09:37 kingoffrance; im not im just old

09:37 kingoffrance; i do everything to avoid writing a compiler

09:38 kingoffrance; i sort of have an "IR" representation of c89

09:38 kingoffrance; someday maybe, not today :)

09:38 kingoffrance; i have the middle part. i would need: something to parse c -> IR something to take IR -> asm or whatever

09:41 kingoffrance; i think i will just put something else on top -> "IR" C -> c89 and let some other compiler do that

09:41 kingoffrance; so its just a glorified preprocessor basically

09:43 kingoffrance; i try to make "reflective" c :)

09:44 kingoffrance; so i do keep eyes out for some lightweight compiler

09:44 kingoffrance; but i really dont want to write one

09:47 kingoffrance; i want something i can embed at run-time :)

09:49 activelow; good morning

09:49 activelow; i want a fast and efficient compiler

09:50 activelow; the variant chaos is unacceptable, with both ARM and x86/64

09:51 activelow; at compiler level aleady, required kernel patches, then kernel config

09:52 activelow; i will, depart from GNU/Linux, meaning no more updates, kernel-4.4, gcc-4.7.4; done. and wate my time with something else

09:52 activelow; for a long time, i wanted to practice machine language, ASM

09:52 activelow; with something, stable and reliable

09:53 activelow; i think, gigatron ttl, mycpu.eu, or any Z80 should be a good start to catch up with this again

09:55 activelow; i'll probably continue with rodney zak Z80 book, not because i favored a Z80, it seems a decent introduction into programming including ASM

09:57 activelow; 16 years ago i read a book about Motorola 68K ASM, which i couldn't follow, and the 68K seems a complicated chip by design too, which i do not want

09:58 activelow; a comfortable computer algebra system would be nice too, because the TI89 series calculators (with motorola chip inside) was prorietary (basic interpreter, CAS software)

10 AM, December 21

10:02 activelow; kingoffrance: don't remember exactly, utilities exist, such as bison and flex, Backus Naur etc.

10:02 activelow; to define a syntax/grammar, and then a parser is generated from this

10:04 activelow; few days ago, i stumbled upon "IR", with C-- dialect which was researched

10:16 kingoffrance; yeah, i used to have the "dragon book" compiler construction but never got around to it

10:16 kingoffrance; i think people dont recommend it anymoer

10:43 activelow; almost missed the backlog

10:44 activelow; concerning politics, as you said, i consider it labels (political parties, and ideologies), it's shallow, theater

10:44 activelow; "the end justifies the means", to pick up this one, in recent decades the "constitutional state" was abandoned

10:45 activelow; to rely upon law and order (code civil) at least exist, and courts following it

10:45 activelow; reminds me of the court case i had to struggle with, which isn't important, it is only a reminder

10:46 activelow; i consider the sabotage of the "constutional state" worse than some fake parliament and pseudo-democracy

10:48 activelow; "We want to get the money as cheap", another one: what was sabotaged first in "EU" was this, the banking system and related legislation (maastricht criteria)

10:49 activelow; german high court (FCC) reviewed ECB actions and argued ECB was violating EU contracts

10:50 activelow; in repsonse, EU argued with "supremacy", which again was an even more severe violation of EU contracts (constitutional state), because EU contracts and legal system are based on "subsidiarity principle"

10:50 activelow; not "supremacy"

11:16 kingoffrance; what was the prior system? no idea

11:17 kingoffrance; but whatever the prior thing was, wasnt "standardized", "carnegie units" were standardized

11:17 kingoffrance; like you say: bureacracy

11:18 kingoffrance; they wanted something "manageable" above all else

11:28 schestowitz-TR; [11:16] <kingoffrance> i was trying to tell daemon "education getting rid of grades" ? "competency" went out in 1906 :)

11:28 schestowitz-TR; I think Japan went for it

11:28 schestowitz-TR; I always found exams pointless after I stopped taking them

11:28 schestowitz-TR; because there are other ways to

11:29 schestowitz-TR; 1) encourage and motivate learning

11:29 schestowitz-TR; 2) assess your understanding of something

11:29 schestowitz-TR; BTW, exams cause a lot of stress to young people

11:29 schestowitz-TR; I still get many many dreams where I do exams

11:29 schestowitz-TR; or where I end up in school

11:29 schestowitz-TR; all of a sudden doing 'missing' exams

11:30 schestowitz-TR; there are not pleasant dreams

11:30 schestowitz-TR; and I finished school 20 years ago

11:30 schestowitz-TR; so you see the long-term effect of exam anxiety

11:33 kingoffrance; i dont think you want a full "competency-based" system, it would be brutal. just disguised behind all the "accountability" there sits that :)

11:34 kingoffrance; maybe "charters" are trying to change, i dont know

11:34 kingoffrance; i mean, its not necessarily fully bad.....but why is it how it is? going back a long time...

11:35 kingoffrance; was gonna say: https://coccinelle.gitlabpages.inria.fr/website/ never used that linux kernel apparently does...that is kind of what i mean to do with "IR"

11:35 -TechPolBot/#techpol-coccinelle.gitlabpages.inria.fr | Coccinelle: A Program Matching and Transformation Tool for Systems Code

11:35 kingoffrance; just to save on boilerplate, that sort of thing

11:36 kingoffrance; you could use macros or something but that way leads to ifdef hell

11:36 schestowitz-TR; INRIA?

11:36 kingoffrance; "Such evolutions comprise the changes that are needed in client code in response to evolutions in library APIs, and may include modifications such as renaming a function, adding a function argument whose value is somehow context-dependent, and reorganizing a data structure."

11:36 kingoffrance; not sure, got a link?

11:37 schestowitz-TR; you posted one

11:37 kingoffrance; oh, what about inria ?

11:37 schestowitz-TR; we've mixed two topics

11:37 schestowitz-TR; kernel and exams

11:37 kingoffrance; yeah sorry :)

11:37 activelow; sorry for the confusion

11:37 schestowitz-TR; INRIA does a lot of sgood stuff

11:37 schestowitz-TR; activelow: not your fault

11:38 kingoffrance; macros are fragile too

11:38 kingoffrance; or you could use that to insert "instrumentation" debugging simple simple stuff like that

11:39 kingoffrance; line before some function is called, log something, simple things. IDEs probably do that, but dont want to go there

11:40 activelow; btw. the education system in germany is controlled at federal state level, constitution forbids centralized control of education system in germany

11:40 kingoffrance; silly stuff too like #include <foo.h> change to <xyz/foo.h> i mean, you can use compiler flags, but sometimes for whatever reason, good or bad, you may want to make such a modification

11:44 *activelow is loosing track of the conversation again

11:44 activelow; stumbled pon coccinelle once, when looking for some "static code analysis", and dropped the idea again

11:44 kingoffrance; nah im done, carry on :)

11:47 activelow; don't believe in complicated code generations and transformations

11:47 activelow; i learned my lesson in application layer programming, complicated code generators causing more harm often, than benefits

11:48 activelow; often, a developer ends up with both: maintenance efforts for source refactoring, and in parallel then to maintain the code-generators/parsers etc.

11:49 activelow; and, it is difficult to outcompete perl regex, conceptually and practically, with text processing tasks

11:52 activelow; so, this is where i am aiming at now, a system without c++, a sane and efficient C compiler, at least

11:52 activelow; i am not convinced already, about GNU autotools and related macro stuff, which are mandatory for system integration

11:52 activelow; besides GCC, which is GNU #1 project, #2 are the autotools i think, and those are bad too

11:53 activelow; another endless-loop of thought circulating ...; back to portability issues, variant chaos, and *nothing* improved since 1999

11:54 activelow; 64bit is the only exception, and even this was available with gcc-3.x already, intel nocona, 16 years without any relevant progress

11:54 *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

11:58 activelow; i cannot say with absolute certainty, however any kernel version wich requires GCC "greater" than 3.2 is dead end

11:59 activelow; linux kenrel 5.7 was the last one which didn't require a C++ compiler (meaning a compiler itself written in c++ and/or depending on it)

11:59 activelow; the last kernel version known to compile with tinycc was v2.6, and PCC was verified against an OpenBSD kernel 14 years ago

noon, December 21

12:00 activelow; for me, this means, i'll not accept any updates anymore, althoug i need and want something to work with, to have internet and netsurf browser at least

12:01 activelow; good news is, a raspberry pi2 would be good enough for what i need, in the next 15 years (kernel 4.4 CIP maintenance is scheduled for termination in 2026 and maximum 2036)

12:05 activelow; gcc-2.7 seems broken by design too already, because of the following: no clean bootstrapping procedure (which GNU guix documents and admits itself)

12:05 activelow; as a consequence any GNU/Linux type system is doomed, built upon a rotten fundament

12:06 activelow; the alternative isn't any of MS IBM Wintel, GNU/Linux or *BSD (Apple); the 8/16bit microcomputer realm is the alternative to plan for "super long term"

12:07 activelow; sure, canonical may label whatever they desire as "SLTS" "civil infrastructure platform", however i do not consider any of this as long-term reliable

12:08 activelow; there is very good reasons why NASA dismantled their space shuttle... missing spare parts, such as i8086, floppy disk, etc...

12:08 activelow; besides the parts it is required long-term education; to learn something at a real school and university

12:10 activelow; nowadays, it is impossible to participate in society and economic activity anymore, if all that's accepted was some 8/16bit calculator

12:11 activelow; even worse, i need to "explain" this, to whom exactly and why?

12:12 activelow; the ideological lunacies surrounding are entertaining to say the least, and this is another side effect of my departure

12:12 activelow; i suspect the 8/16bit realm is poisoned by toxic ideology, to sign any code of conduct or whatever, to celebrate girls day and affirmative action

12:12 activelow; *is not

12:17 activelow; the 8/16bit realm has another benefit: most of the complicated CAD and software tools can be replaced with high-tech pencil and paper

12:19 activelow; anyway, couldn't at least afford an office or a tiny lab space, to savely store my books and notes somewhere

12:19 activelow; if this served "social ecological" justice wishthinking then so be it

12:20 activelow; it is an annoyance for almost 20years now, not at least the basic needs including social ones are, well

12:20 activelow; i've got nothing more to say about this

12:21 activelow; "EU", "united germany"

15:58 activelow; i think, the NASA Spaceshuttle timeline sets the historical markers for most of what's known as free software nowadays, although it predates GNU/Linux 20years

15:59 activelow; and i think, the reasons why spaceshuttle programme was terminated was maintenance efforts and costs, including the fact NASA had to dumpster dive for i8086 era spare parts on ebay

4 PM, December 21

16:00 activelow; and this is what FSF/GNU/Linux are looking forward to: impossible to maintain long-term and lack of spare parts

16:00 activelow; it is impossible already, to bootstrap GCC 2.7 (see GNU guix) without any massive binary blobgs

16:00 activelow; blobs

16:01 activelow; and back-tracking this, i am arriving in 1970s again shortly before spaceshuttle programme began

16:04 activelow; TTL 7400 series chips predate i8086/Z80 type CPUs; and this is what mycpu.eu and gigatron ttl are built with

16:05 activelow; Soviet Union collapsed, one reason being Chernobyl exploded

16:05 activelow; in comparison, globalized economy relying on modern microelectronics and software will not collapse instantly, it will degenerate

16:06 activelow; problem i see: not only will modern technology collapse, the long-term reliable and stable manufactoring and science is threatened too

16:07 activelow; meaning, i fear students and scientists won't be capable to construct some "simple" scientific calculator anymore, or manufacture some 7400 series TTL chips, CRT screens, epson matrix type plotters

16:09 activelow; *manufacturing

16:10 activelow; the most valuable asset of "micro"-soft (yes, the company name was spelled differently): it is their altair basic paper tape

16:10 activelow; one programming challenge at that time was, what a coincidence, "moon lander" game

16:11 activelow; or loonar lander

16:12 activelow; it is available, in github: https://github.com/fortran-gaming/lunar-lander-1969

16:12 -TechPolBot/#techpol-github.com | GitHub - fortran-gaming/lunar-lander-1969: Dr. Jim Storer's 1969 Lunar Lander program in ANSI BASIC and modern Fortran 2008

16:15 activelow; somewhat ironic again, this requires CMake nowadays, to compile at least...

17:58 kingoffrance; for guix i see : https://www.gnu.org/software/mes/manual/html_node/The-Mes-Bootstrap-Process.html https://bootstrappable.org/projects/mes.html mes (scheme interpret?) runs MesCC (c compiler) that bootstrap tinycc tinycc used to build gcc 2.95.0 then 4.7.4 they are trying to eliminate gcc.2.95.0, use tinycc or something else to build gcc 4.7.4

17:59 kingoffrance; "GCC 2.7" you mean 4.7 i assume?

18:41 activelow; kingoffrance: depends on what you are referring to

18:41 activelow; as far as c++ is concerned gcc-4.7.4 is the last one

18:42 activelow; concerning hardware support, and later kernel versions too require C extension, newer gcc versions are required

18:42 activelow; concerning gcc bootstrapping history GNU guix documents gcc-2.95 (which is an EGCS variant already), and the real GCC is any older, such as 2.7

18:45 activelow; gcc-4.7.4 doesn't support aarch64 (and no risc-v either), just saying

18:45 activelow; and meanwhile i noticed, there is no official kernel support to boot a rockchip rk3328 or rk3399 system as 32bit ARM

18:47 activelow; which is a rather specific issue again, nonetheless it is noteworthy, because the cortex a53 and a72 do support 32bit ARM

18:48 activelow; anyway, gcc-4.7.4 seems another (minor) historical marker, because can be removed, and gcc-4.8 was the first to support aarch64

18:49 activelow; *c++ can be removed

18:50 kingoffrance; i just didnt know if you really meant 2.7 or if it was a typo

18:55 activelow; the next entry in the GCC/FSF testament will probably Rust lang

18:55 activelow; be

18:58 activelow; mainline integration status of rockchip is horror, given kernel 4.4 is considered "civil infrastructure platform", got almost 100 out-of-tree patches here (scraped from armbian) and 90 do not apply, require review

18:59 activelow; the entire system config for rockchip SoC reside in arm64 directory of the kernel, almost no board is listed inside arm (32bit), although u-boot remains generic with arm

7 PM, December 21

19:00 activelow; i'll grab the device tree from there then, not sure if kernel 4.4 is happy with this, because the device node interface names and structure changed

19:01 activelow; sadly, kernel 5.7 didn't boot which i could apply all patches too, and far less required, and kernel 5.7 is the last kernel version which accepts gcc-4.7.4

19:03 activelow; first i tried to downgrade/rollback to gcc-4.7.4 with kernel 5.9/5.10 which failed to compile because linux kernel requires some non C90/99 extensions/macros, which isn't trivial to fix

19:04 activelow; the aarch64 to aarch32 downgrade is another showstopper

19:14 activelow; anyway, sorry for the noise
