01:02 DaemonFC; How weird is that.
01:03 DaemonFC; Living in a trailer you have a mortgage on, on land you don't own, where the land itself is more than my rent, and then you have to pay for all of the utilities and trash removal.
01:03 DaemonFC; And the land rent can go up.
01:04 DaemonFC; I went to their office once, a few years back, to inquire about how much it costs to rent a trailer and the land, and it was going to be over $2,400 a month plus utilities, then!
01:04 DaemonFC; While rent on an apartment where trash, water, sewage, and gas included was $850.
01:05 DaemonFC; I mean, you can live i na $2,400 a month trailer where they can jack up the price every year and you have to do the utilities separate, but why?
01:05 DaemonFC; Then the company that runs the place incorporated as a town, so they have police officers working for a private company that owns a town.

14:09 MinceR; TIL
14:09 immibis_; but that's an opinion
14:10 MinceR; it's waylandows for you
14:11 immibis_; pointer warping within one window, and grabbing, are things I assume they haven't gotten to get (except they HAVE gotten to a lot of these things in the 5+ years since it became cool to hate Wayland?)
14:11 immibis_; yet*
14:11 *techuser (~techuser@4n9eayzs5y2n4.irc) has joined #techrights
14:12 immibis_; The opinion of X is basically that every app has full control over your screen and input devices i.e. total anarchy
14:12 immibis_; whereas the opinion of Wayland is that actually the window manager is in charge of managing windows
14:13 immibis_; what good reason is there why apps should be able to override the window manager
14:14 MinceR; they claimed it was "insecure"
14:14 MinceR; s/it was/they were/
14:15 MinceR; waylandows doesn't even manage to keep the windowing system and the window manager separate
14:15 MinceR; you can't even switch window managers while your clients keep running
14:16 MinceR; in classic "modern" fashion, it reduces modularity and we're supposed to cheer that on

14:41 immibis_; [15:15] <@MinceR> waylandows doesn't even manage to keep the windowing system and the window manager separate
14:42 immibis_; because other than maintaining sockets open, what did the X server actually do?
14:42 immibis_; clearly it was not a design priority to keep sockets open but I guess that can easily be worked around with a proxy process
14:43 psydruid; what makes it so hard to implement everything in wayland so X can finally be put to pasture?
14:44 MinceR; it did most of handling windows
14:44 psydruid; 13 years are not enough, so let's go for the 20-year milestone?
14:44 immibis_; it's the growing pains, all the weird edge cases that are the reason why you don't normally do rewrites, like Joel said
14:44 immibis_; It did not
14:44 MinceR; 16 154349 < psydruid> what makes it so hard to implement everything in wayland so X can finally be put to pasture?
14:45 MinceR; the fact that wayland's designers/implementers/maintainers are incompetent
14:45 MinceR; they don't understand what they're ostensibly trying to replace
14:45 immibis_; read through magcius.github.io/xplain
14:45 MinceR; they don't understand what makes it work and why it is the way it is
14:45 MinceR; the saddest part is that apparently the same people are also attempting to maintain X
14:45 MinceR; without any understanding of the design of X
14:45 immibis_; I think maybe they don't know but you don't know either, MinceR
14:46 psydruid; do people still want to understand the design and implementation of X?
14:47 MinceR; it is necessary both for maintaining X and for designing a replacement to it
14:47 immibis_; Do you understand it, MinceR?
14:47 MinceR; only parts of it
14:47 immibis_; Which parts do you understand but not them, MinceR?
14:48 MinceR; i understand the parts i come into contact when using X and whatever else i've read about or experimented with
14:49 immibis_; and what are those?
14:49 MinceR; i can't list them

14:49 immibis_; it always seems to be petty bullshit like "xdotool doesn't work" (well duh it probably has to be wdotool instead and maybe nobody's written that yet)
14:50 MinceR; i don't remember mentioning xdotool
14:50 immibis_; Others did
14:50 MinceR; i am not responsible for what others say
14:50 MinceR; also, it's possibly that wdotool isn't possible to implement without going beyond what the people in charge of wayland are willing to allow because "muh security"
14:51 MinceR; the things i mentioned are also technically fixable
14:51 MinceR; it's theoretically possible to add an interface to grab/warp the pointer or capture the screen and let the user specify which clients they want to allow to do it
14:51 immibis_; this is a weird attitude on security by the way. By the same logic we should let any process read any file.
14:51 psydruid; I guess after 20 years of Wayland development it's going to be time to develop a Wayland replacement because its design issues can never be fixed
14:51 MinceR; but they excluded the possibility right from the start because "muh security"
14:51 MinceR; and also because poettering doesn't use it on his multiseat laptop
14:52 immibis_; [15:51] <000000immibis_> this is a weird attitude on security by the way. By the same logic we should let any process read any file.
14:52 MinceR; this is what irritates me most about waylandows, aside from the constant propaganda that i'm supposed to adopt this half-baked piece of technology just because they said so
14:52 immibis_; [15:45] <immibis_> read through magcius.github.io/xplain
14:53 MinceR; it is also theoretically possible to separate the functionality of what the wm does in X, into a library or a separate process
14:53 MinceR; but they're not interested in modularity
14:53 MinceR; it was possible to run sway without systemd/elogind, but i'm not sure if it's even still possible
14:54 immibis_; doesn't have to be sway. It's not like clients care about systemd/elogind. Use a server designed to not need that.
14:55 geert; openrc!!
14:55 geert; ^^ mentioning
14:55 MinceR; afaik sway was the only server designed to not need that
14:55 immibis_; then make one. Free marketplace
14:55 MinceR; i don't need to, i have X
14:55 MinceR; i've thought of doing so, but i'll probably never get around to it
14:55 MinceR; there are bigger fires in IT
14:56 immibis_; more likely make a logind emulator. I think someone already did. Isn't that what elogind is?
14:56 MinceR; elogind is a fork of a part of systemd
14:56 MinceR; and it came with design flaws in systemd
14:56 MinceR; it even used to kill processes from exiting sessions, someone i know got bitten by that
14:57 immibis_; Saying Wayland sucks because a popular server uses logind is like saying public transportation sucks because your local train service requires you to buy a plastic card for $20
14:59 MinceR; that's not what i said, though

15:17 immibis_; [16:05] <@MinceR> my main complaint is twofold: 1) wayland and its implementations do not aim to reproduce the power of X, they're pretty much aiming at making a copy of the macOS GUI; 2) there's this constant push going to get people to switch from X to this new copy of the macOS GUI
15:17 immibis_; the first seems inevitable whenever you reduce complexity and the second is literally a mental disorder on your part (Adult Oppositional Defiance Disorder)
15:18 immibis_; what power of X are you missing? The power to run it on 8bpp screens?
15:18 MinceR; 1) reducing modularity does not reduce complexity; 2) go fuck yourself

16:14 immibis_; that Wayland can't replicate?

16:41 geert; schestowitz i got to work through some stuff regarding that hot-desking
16:42 geert; and i get that there is another aspect than employer tries/desires/tactics that employees simply dont decide, legally
16:42 geert; that is e.g. public function, and in many aspects also commercial function, that is deliberately undermined by bogus corrupted disguised as if legit management
16:42 immibis_; Where is the techrights stream on activitypub
16:42 schestowitz[TR]; just checked, yes, she disappeared
16:42 immibis_; aka mastodon
16:43 schestowitz[TR]; immibis: there is none
16:43 schestowitz[TR]; we have rss feed
16:43 schestowitz[TR]; people can follow the site via... the site
16:43 schestowitz[TR]; not third parties
16:43 geert; say e.g. one want to sell cheese, but serve secretly a double agenda actualy underminding said /stated goals, some hotdesking is verysimply illegal as long as its seriously undermining e.g. public goals
16:43 schestowitz[TR]; <techrights-news> "All this on a 15 year old blue tick account with 110,000 followers. The account still exists and is visible online, though very difficult to find because of extreme shadowbanning." https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2023/01/twitter-ban/

16:43 schestowitz[TR]; today's cautionary tale ^
16:44 geert; as an example workers/employees finding out how patents are abused deliberately and hotdesking trying to subdue this coming out of corruption
16:44 schestowitz[TR]; yes
16:44 geert; schestowitz maybe later today or maybe some other time youget some time discuss it
16:44 schestowitz[TR]; because the union relies on word of mouth
16:44 geert; public function means they should serve common interest
16:44 schestowitz[TR]; geert: i want to know if it is legal
16:44 geert; commercially its a little different, then one serve 'customer' interest, economically
16:45 schestowitz[TR]; the courts sometimes side with businesses simply because businesses say "it's good for US"
16:45 geert; common interest is more difficult to escape on
16:45 geert; epa means common interest, basically even if it more directly appear as private organizations like e.g. federal reserve
16:46 immibis_; mastodon integration allows other people to retweet selected stories which boosts signal
16:46 geert; hotdesking with PURPOSE undermine this common interest instead serving it, e.g. placing economical tendencies or urges above so called 'common good', is not just illegal, its often even state security threat
16:46 schestowitz[TR]; immibis: it's a fad
16:46 immibis_; it's Twitter but distributed

16:46 geert; it is not illegal for workers/employees though, even under called 'citizen duty' to contact each other outside 'workscope' to get more clarity
16:47 immibis_; yes you should also have a twitter (until getting banned), same reason
16:47 schestowitz[TR]; masotodon had a ton of hype in 2017
16:47 schestowitz[TR]; many people joined
16:47 schestowitz[TR]; then it died down
16:47 immibis_; so did bitcoin
16:47 schestowitz[TR]; this can happen again this yaera
16:47 schestowitz[TR]; geert: yes, but it is harder
16:47 schestowitz[TR]; esp. during pandemic
16:48 schestowitz[TR]; twiter is tenancy
16:48 schestowitz[TR]; mastodon is neighbourhood
16:48 schestowitz[TR]; but leasehold
16:48 geert; like trying to get out of public view that patents were 'served' on 'prejudice ground' proving deliberate 'biological warfare' against 'the public'
16:49 schestowitz[TR]; worse:
16:49 schestowitz[TR]; patents were used to reards pharma companies
16:49 schestowitz[TR]; so much so that
16:49 schestowitz[TR]; hundreds of billions of euros wwere at stake
16:49 schestowitz[TR]; so they could massively bribe media and politicians
16:49 schestowitz[TR]; and censor theirt critics
16:49 schestowitz[TR]; and imposed on us products for $50 that cost 50 cents to make
16:49 schestowitz[TR]; and barely woork
16:50 geert; insider trading you mean
16:50 immibis_; "but it's your fault you're poor because you didn't buy pharma stocks before the pandemic "
16:50 geert; yea i just googled the translation
16:50 geert; its called 'handel met voorkennis' in dutch
16:50 geert; which is absolutely abuse of means, financial watchdogs get e.g. duty to check on that
16:50 immibis_; trading with foreknowledge
16:50 geert; but its not worse than 'biological warfare'
16:50 geert; that latter is basically crimes against humanity
16:50 immibis_; it's economic warfare
16:50 geert; and even acts of war that are forbidden byinternational warfare agreements
16:50 immibis_; it's not just silly spreadsheets, they take away people's houses
16:51 immibis_; which takes away their kitchens and bathrooms, increasing the chance of infection
16:51 immibis_; how is that not biological
16:51 geert; if hotdesking is proven deliberate with purpose disguise such crimes/ as smokescreen e.g prevent people discussing uncommon biased dealings with each other
16:52 geert; that is very veyr much illegal
16:52 geert; throughout all of netherlands, but also in uk based on 5 eye jurisdiction common interest
16:52 geert; and things like nato
16:53 schestowitz[TR]; it's about suppressing dialogue, yes
16:53 schestowitz[TR]; so people annot think or think collectively
16:53 geert; so illegal, if serious proof about it, throughout all of basically eu, nato, 5/9/14 eye jurisdiction, eurogroup
16:53 schestowitz[TR]; too busy adapting to the new "desk"
16:53 schestowitz[TR]; it makes people miserable
16:53 schestowitz[TR]; to have no friends at work
16:53 schestowitz[TR]; but friends = "productivity loss"
16:53 geert; this is very very nasty criminal shit
16:53 schestowitz[TR]; they don't seem to value mental health of workers

16:57 schestowitz[TR]; like mastodon

16:57 geert; it goes beyond that, think of acts of war that are forbidden to warfare agreements policy
16:57 MinceR; lol
16:57 immibis_; mastodon protocol is called activitypub - you don't have to use mastodon software
16:58 immibis_; just provide a feed I think

16:58 immibis_; not sure how it's different from RSS
16:58 schestowitz[TR]; ?????
16:58 geert; and some top goons cant say they dont know thats just no go
16:58 schestowitz[TR]; so you don't know either
16:58 immibis_; it might rely on the publishing server sending updates to followers which is a bit stupid
16:58 geert; a top position in patent office cant just talk shit about not understanding when covid unravels in plain sight
16:58 immibis_; maybe someone will make an RSS to activitypub bridge

19:28 agg1; they couldn't produce a single microchip anymore which met minimum acceptance criteria, in USA, or Germany, or elsewhere
19:29 agg1; it's an epic kneejerk
19:29 agg1; and it's mostly irelevent, if some of this is GNU or proprietary, because too, GNU is rigged for that many reasons, i won't touch any of this anymore
19:30 agg1; some of the MIT style licensed stuff seems barely acceptable, compilers, lua interpreter, vis editor etc.... this free software niche is that small, it's almost extince3
19:30 agg1; extinct
19:30 immibis_; of course if you avoid GPL it's a small niche LOL and that's your fault
19:31 agg1; GPL is none of my concerns, GPL license is fine, it is the quality issues GNU has
19:31 agg1; GCC is rigged beyond repair
19:31 agg1; thank you IBM
19:32 immibis_; ah yes that's why I use proprietary clang
19:32 agg1; clang is c++ cancer
19:32 agg1; and that's higher-lever languages
19:32 agg1; at lower levels, ASM and below, that's too rigged, all of it
19:33 immibis_; Every language is rigged except Blub^H^H^H^H C
19:33 agg1; you know what, i don't care anymore
19:33 agg1; yes, most of if is fcked beyond repair, including C and it's compilers/toolchain
19:33 agg1; well done.
19:35 agg1; at least, Lua interpreter, from the system-integration and bootstrapping perspective isn't completely fcked...
19:35 agg1; and well, lua is MIT licensed, not GPL, not that it matters
19:35 immibis_; Imagine thinking Lua isn't JavaScript in a pretty costume
19:35 agg1; in comparison to Python, Perl, Java and whatnot, lua would be the ONLY script interpreter i was willing to invest 5minutes of time into, currently, subject to change though
19:36 agg1; Python was b*ttfcked by micro$$$ that heavily, this crap can't be bootstrapped anymore, Perl too can't be, it's just pain
19:37 agg1; lua seems to be cancer-free still, concerning this
19:37 agg1; vis editor seems ok.... just saying, it's rare i could say this

20:26 agg1; telekom brazil required something sane (aka not made in usa), and hacked together lua
20:26 MinceR; s/have/have done/
20:26 agg1; brazilians could have said, fine, yeah, there's GNU, nope... lua they did
20:27 agg1; just thinking, if it's "made in usa" in particular, because all of it is GNU, BSD, Microshit, IBM
20:27 agg1; i wouldn't bet yet, if anyting is stamped by Pentagon USA, it's crap then
20:28 agg1; so, they voted in Brazil recently, not sure what this was about, big drama there
20:28 agg1; Biddler is awful

20:30 agg1; with Trump, i thought, i couldn't get any worse.... hell, have i been wrong
20:30 agg1; the recent price hikes here, are excessive
20:30 agg1; and, for what? made in usa shitware, billions of lines of crap of software ready for disposal
20:31 agg1; it's totally wrecked
20:31 agg1; stallman for a while, roamed around in southern america
20:31 immibis_; [20:38] <agg1> it deserved a Nrnberg trial if that was done today the Nazis would walk away free. "Just following orders" is frequently used to excuse Luetzerath as well as old ladies getting evicted onto the street
20:32 immibis_; DaemonFC: did you hear they won't enforce the assault weapon ban on black people
20:36 agg1; anyway, Oasis Linux is intruiging for that reason, it depends on Lua scripting ONLY for system integration
20:36 agg1; and Lua itself and any toolchain to compile lua got clean bootstrapping/system-integration paths too, such as with TCC, which i could verify already
20:37 agg1; meaning, i could bootstrap a POSIX system, with TCC, and got vis-editor, lua interpreter, and whatever the Oasis people did, to hack together a usable system
20:38 agg1; currently, without any kernel whatsoever... except linux 2.4 :(
20:38 agg1; another problem is ASM still, because TCC assembly implementation is incomplete and/or asm syntax is glitchy in general, with libc in particular
20:38 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
20:39 agg1; some people already verified a bootstrapping/compilation of an older musl-libc together with TCC toolchain (which to got an assembler, for x86)
20:40 agg1; and with legacy x86, a bootstrapping/system-integration path at the hardware side too exists, although i fear transitive dependencies against the usual cancer there
20:41 agg1; what was it? ao486 was the project, however the altera tooling scares me
20:41 agg1; and i am not aware of any supply-chain/tooling for a full system-integration otherwise, even when some opensource/free projects exist, those often lock against undesireable dependencies again
20:42 agg1; you can't just solder some TTL7400 parts and ROM and RAM onto a bread-board anymore, and hack your way up
20:42 agg1; there's nothing acceptable remaining anymore
20:43 agg1; even with an ultra-conservative approach towards POSIX with linux 2.4 and the hardware this supported
20:43 agg1; long story short... there's nothing remaining
20:45 immibis; you can absolutely do that thing with the breadboard if you don't want your computer to be fast
20:45 immibis; I STILL (for 3 years now) a have half-finished transistor CPU that I haven't touched for 3 years
20:46 immibis; I believe they still manufacture Z80 CPUs
20:46 agg1; already explained, i was willing to disconnect from "the internet" even, if in return there was some free software and hardware
20:47 agg1; with Z80 i found SDCC compiler being rigged, it's implemented in c++ to compile for Z80 target... ridiculous, and well, nice, it's GPL licensed
20:47 agg1; seems somehow, GPL terminated thinking somewhere
20:47 immibis; make your own compiler
20:47 agg1; how would any sane hacker pick a toolchain implemented in c++ to target Z80?
20:47 agg1; immibis, i do NOTHING anymore
20:48 agg1; i mean, i could try to relocated my bookshelf into a tent, and stop eating and breathing
20:49 immibis; well, most hackers are not using Z80s as their primary computers
20:49 agg1; nice try, distracting with another misnomer, that's just primary or secondary
20:49 agg1; how many computers was i supposed to buy? and how many of those were "free" then?

20:54 agg1; yep, TCC is from France, not USA...
20:54 agg1; vis-editor, that's switzerland
20:55 agg1; besides licensing, i began to watch, where it was made, instead of GPL
20:56 agg1; if it was made in usa, chances are, it's crap then
20:56 agg1; just like F-35 Biddler wants to sell to germany, for nuclear participation
20:56 agg1; there's that many ironies surrounding this
20:57 agg1; that's probably another reason why german ministry of defense is in turmoil currently, the USA F-35 "deal"
