[08:11:08] Gentoo c0ded, Which software?

[08:12:20] Gentoo The DAW on systemd/Linux that you're using

[08:13:25] Gentoo c0ded, Great, tell me where "open" is written in the license here: https://ardour.org/copying.html

[08:14:12] Gentoo Since you'll soon realise that the GPLv2 is written to be a free software license.

[08:14:53] Gentoo Yes and that standard repository was only authorised to share a copy under the terms of the GPLv2.

[08:15:13] Gentoo Please do not refer to free software licensed under a free software license as "open source".

[08:15:43] Gentoo If you don't like freedom, you can all it unfettered software :3

[08:15:57] Gentoo Of course you would find freedom to be pointless.

[08:16:23] Gentoo Here's the "open source definition" by the way: https://opensource.org/osd/

[08:16:43] Gentoo Of course almost all "open source" supporters assume it means source available and haven't heard of the requirements.

[08:17:20] Gentoo It's cool you're making music, but you should realise that the excellent software you're using to make the music was written specifically so you could have freedom.

[08:18:05] Gentoo Seethe harder.

[08:19:06] Gentoo You're seething about me pointing out freedom though

[08:21:02] Gentoo The more people refer to free software as "open source", the more the proprietary software developers win pretty much.

[08:23:05] Gentoo !bang

[08:23:42] Gentoo c0ded, Share please, but please under a license that doesn't restrict the receiver in their ability to listen to and share the music.

[08:24:56] Gentoo Of course you should allow for modification and remixing, but not being able to is just sad, rather than a big problem.

[08:26:08] Gentoo Samples from movies/TV from before 1920?

[08:27:04] Gentoo Unfortunately, that tune is still under copyright restrictions and re-using it as a sample may not count as fair use.

[08:28:33] Gentoo Not sure, but it probably was under copyright restrictions.

[08:29:05] Gentoo Most people walk through the copyright minefield without stepping on a mine, but it's sad that such restrictions exist even if they were to never get enforced.

[08:30:22] Gentoo Copyright restrictions still apply to noncommercial acts of public performance, which is indeed sad.

[08:31:08] Gentoo !bang

[08:31:43] Gentoo Cringe and proprietary pilled.

[08:32:08] Gentoo They probably won't, but they can.

[08:33:18] Gentoo I can listen to good music, but I cannot truly enjoy the music if it's proprietary.

[08:36:33] Gentoo >I remember many sunrises seen from a car coming back from Chinatown. It was actually a very beautiful thing to see a sunrise, cause' that's such a calm time of day. It's a wonderful time of day to get ready to go to bed. It's so nice to walk home with the light just brightening and the birds starting to chirp, you can get a real feeling of gentle satisfaction, of tranquility about the work that you have done that night.

[09:50:52] Gentoo !bang

[09:50:55] Gentoo !reload

[09:51:58] Gentoo The proprietary duck has already been slaughtered with GNU/Rifle.

[09:54:04] Gentoo I ran out of rounds, so I reloaded ready to shoot the next one without having to reload then.

[09:55:35] Gentoo The bot doesn't actually let you reload unless you're out of rounds, but of course I often try when I can't remember exactly how many rounds I have.

[09:57:06] Gentoo !bang

[09:58:23] Gentoo You hosted the previous duckhunt a while ago that allowed for !meow?

[14:51:21] Gentoo Double jam and double kill?

[14:53:38] Gentoo \g, I recommend GNU units.

[14:54:04] Gentoo \g, units

[14:54:11] Gentoo \g, * https://www.gnu.org/software/units/

[14:54:30] Gentoo 100 mph is 160.9344 kph

[14:55:04] Gentoo 1 km is actually 0.62137119 miles.

[14:55:27] Gentoo Slicing.

[14:56:34] Gentoo Oh nice, that's how you do division in GNU units. With |. That helps a lot when I'm trying to convert 1 & 3/12 inches/

[14:57:45] Gentoo GNU units is really the ultimate calculator. Dream of it and you can convert it.

[15:02:48] Gentoo You just got to be careful you got the right units. It'll convert 40km/h to m/s, but trying to do 30km/6.6260701e-34 kg m^2 / s to m/s, when you should have really typed km/hr or kph

[15:04:47] Gentoo \g, You can calculate how long it will take to transfer 14TiB of data over a 40 Mbps connection? (ignoring overhead)

[15:05:23] Gentoo \g, Okay, how many days? You have 4 seconds.

[15:05:36] Gentoo GNU units; You have: 40 Mbps You want: days/40 TiB reciprocal conversion 101.80663

[15:06:31] Gentoo sunitknandi, What kind of laptop do you have?

[15:06:39] Gentoo *sushi-chan

[15:06:58] Gentoo sushi-chan, Did you give it to HP?

[15:08:07] Gentoo sushi-chan, Good choice. A HP laptop just died on me for no reason and when it came back after the warranty repair, the Wi-Fi antenna's weren't plugged in.

[15:08:21] Gentoo sushi-chan, You're heavier than me.

[15:08:36] Gentoo 77kg of muscle is probably quite fine tbh.

[15:08:51] Gentoo I hope you were bulking.

[15:10:48] Gentoo irish666, By someone quite underweight.

[15:11:07] Gentoo irish666, Fine.

[15:11:35] Gentoo sushi-chan, Most of weight loss is just eating less, rather than exercise but keep it up.

[15:13:27] Gentoo irish666, 3.3472-5.0208kJ in sane units

[15:13:37] Gentoo Or SI units as it's commonly known

[15:14:46] Gentoo sushi-chan, If I had a problem with overeating I would probably just equate unhealthy food to proprietary software myself.

[15:15:03] Gentoo !bang

[15:15:06] Gentoo !reload

[15:15:46] Gentoo Fair enough.

[15:16:38] Gentoo People complain about my intense motivation about nice things and lack of motivation in proprietary things of course.

[15:18:07] Gentoo Frogorg, Blend the watermelon into watermelon juice?

[15:19:52] Gentoo Frogorg, Okay, whatever instrument that can be used to crush it into juice should work.

[15:20:42] Gentoo はいはい

[15:20:58] Gentoo Yes

[15:22:14] Gentoo 漢字 is a quite annoying, as half the characters look the same.

[15:22:43] Gentoo https://www.kanjidamage.com/ is decent though, although there being 2 or 3 mnemonics is questionable

[15:23:28] Gentoo Inb4 time to dedicate myself to fixing up Kanjidamage and I end up accidentally learning all the Kanji.

[15:23:55] Gentoo All the signs in popular tourist areas have English on them as well.

[15:24:28] Gentoo Ability to read 日本語 doesn't help much with speaking it though.

[15:25:24] Gentoo カタカナ doesn't come from English words, but it is indeed used for loan words, except it gets them wrong instead of just writing the Latin characters.

[15:26:31] Gentoo I can figure out some wrong writings, but when it comes to shorter words I got no idea until I punch them into Tagaini Jisho.

[15:27:14] Gentoo スパ can be used to mean spa, or... spaghetti

[15:28:00] Gentoo Uoooohhh

[15:29:44] Gentoo It's a real same that many Japanese free software developers don't understand software licensing.

[15:30:03] Gentoo Thankfully gnu.org has Japanese translations for most articles.

[15:31:19] Gentoo Yes they do.

[15:31:49] Gentoo KFC pulled the typical corporation move and made it "cool" to eat their fried "chicken" at Christmas.

[15:32:41] Gentoo It's religion - they don't care if it's fake

[15:33:48] Gentoo Yes.

[15:34:27] Gentoo Even Israel has Christmas, although they probably don't call it that name.

[15:35:15] Gentoo Frogorg, By taking a sledgehammer to the proprietary spying device?

[15:38:03] Gentoo sushi-chan, Brute force is just throwing more force at something to solve it with force, rather than elegance. If you want to move a stuck kite out of a tree, you can either gently untangle it, or you can cut the tree to pieces with a chainsaw. It's about the same with a dictionary attack vs bruteforcing by trying all possible passwords.

[15:38:42] Gentoo sushi-chan, Since making fun of weebs is fun as they seem to be good "lolcows".

[15:39:20] Gentoo Of course Japanese have their own term for weebs: hikikomori

[15:40:21] Gentoo sushi-chan, Weaboos support x current thing simply because it is Japanese, not because of actual quality.

[15:41:48] Gentoo sushi-chan, If you don't watch アニメ even if actually dislike it, you're not a weeb.

[15:42:09] Gentoo Weebs will watch アニメ even if they don't like it.

[15:42:36] Gentoo sushi-chan, Normality is not a decent goal, but you don't seem to be deranged.

[15:42:56] Gentoo I only like good アニメ myself. Like everything, most of it it trash.

[15:43:09] Gentoo Good morning sirs/

[15:43:40] Gentoo It's not really Friday for me.

[15:46:38] Gentoo REDman2k1, Why do you smoke death sticks?

[15:47:15] Gentoo I cannot understand why people smoke insecticide.

[15:47:45] Gentoo A hurricane is just a really big storm technically.

[15:48:30] Gentoo REDman2k1, You're going to continue until you get cancer?

[15:49:19] Gentoo I like fresh wind and rain any time of the year as long as I don't need to go outside.

[15:49:53] Gentoo REDman2k1, Good choice, Why not start right away and decide that you will never smoke another cig again?

[15:50:09] Gentoo I would love to do the same with proprietary software.

[15:51:20] Gentoo !bang

[16:00:09] Gentoo !bang

[16:03:44] Gentoo \g, Yet another thing windows can't do.

[16:04:10] Gentoo sushi-chan, He's constructing a bunker.

[16:05:33] Gentoo Imagine not being able to become intoxicated on water.

[16:06:24] Gentoo Frogorg, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication?useskin=monobook

[16:06:33] Gentoo >potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions

[16:07:35] Gentoo sushi-chan, rms has spoken about a hypothetical situation of having to pay for air on a space station.

[16:08:52] Gentoo sushi-chan, He noted that it's okay to require payment for the air if it's expensive for manufacturing, but if everyone can afford it, you should just take a bulk payment, rather than demanding everyone put on masks that count every last breath.

[16:09:30] Gentoo >Arrangements to make people pay for using a program, including licensing of copies, always incur a tremendous cost to society through the cumbersome mechanisms necessary to figure out how much (that is, which programs) a person must pay for. And only a police state can force everyone to obey them. Consider a space station where air must be manufactured at great cost: charging each breather per liter of air may be fair, but wearing the metered

[16:09:30] Gentoo gas mask all day and all night is intolerable even if everyone can afford to pay the air bill. And the TV cameras everywhere to see if you ever take the mask off are outrageous. It's better to support the air plant with a head tax and chuck the masks.

[16:10:47] Gentoo Sad! I was about to recommend 1000BASE-T

[16:18:01] Gentoo lor, Only 100% free software available here. Which free sofware would like like?

[16:31:17] Gentoo You say that but the amount of free software keeps increasing despite the lack of payment for the most part.

[16:35:48] Gentoo login, Source?

[16:36:14] Gentoo Just because you have skill issues doesn't mean free software is unusable.

[16:38:11] Gentoo !bang

[16:38:55] Gentoo login, Unless proprietary software masters start doing degeneracy, food, shelter and clothing are quite cheap and are easy to achieve with minimal funds.

[16:39:07] Gentoo *start doing/have done

[16:40:04] Gentoo Making things really expensive as they imagine that that'll make profit.

[16:40:22] Gentoo login, The question you are asking is not "How will they eat", it's: "How will they eat fancy sushi".

[16:40:54] Gentoo Also not; "How will they have shelter", it's: "How will they have an oversized house".

[16:41:31] Gentoo login, Free software developers are that kind of people, but of course there are endless degenerates that will do anything if they believe there's a chance of profit.

[16:42:58] Gentoo Maybe, maybe not. But the wealth gap doesn't seem to be at the stage where most people can't afford food and shelter.

[16:44:12] Gentoo It's not like you can possibly only do one thing.

[16:44:41] Gentoo It's entirely possible to be employed in a job unrelated to software and develop free software at other times.

[16:44:59] Gentoo You can do that even with having children at the same time.

[16:46:21] Gentoo At least hundreds of thousands and millions of software.

[16:46:36] Gentoo I am that's for sure.

[16:46:48] Gentoo *or even millions of people

[16:47:09] Gentoo It's quite easy - you read lots of free software and write lots of free software.

[16:47:52] Gentoo No, but one person can write a document processor or make improvements to libreoffice.

[16:48:34] Gentoo Well, I can understand C deeply and I taught myself.

[16:48:54] Gentoo You completely missed the point.

[16:49:14] Gentoo It's aim is not to be an alternative, the aim is to be a replacement

[16:49:50] Gentoo Even if you aren't a programmer you can write documentation for libreoffice or you can report documents that render differently from m$ office.

[16:50:27] Gentoo Yes, even very poor countries got conned by m$'s psyops.

[16:50:40] Gentoo Libreoffice works fine as a word replacement for me.

[16:51:30] Gentoo Okay, bullets points look slightly different. Why on earth would you care? Just curse m$ for screwing you over and carry on.

[16:52:49] Gentoo What a shame, but the bullets points sill work, so that's a slight inconvenience that you should get over, or report as a bug.

[16:53:58] Gentoo You don't need to be a good enough programmer to fix it - you just need to report the bug and provide sample documents.

[16:54:07] Gentoo I recommend GNU Emacs if you want a enhanced learning curve.

[16:55:27] Gentoo GNU Emacs was written by free software developers for free software and succeeding in writing the finest editor.

[16:55:54] Gentoo LaTeX? Sure you can write LaTeX in Emacs, but other LaTeX editors exist.
