<cluck>fwiw technomancy is an #emacs regular and all around nice guy <rekado>davexunit: ooh, thanks for the pointer to microscheme! I was looking for something that would work on an Atmel mc. <ArneBab>unknown_lamer: it wasn’t really you who tanked Qi. You were just at the receiving end of the fallout done by anti-GPL propaganda. <unknown_lamer>instead of "ok, fix accidentally making all Qi programs GPL without intending to" ... "let me make it so that you literally cannot write legally distributable Qi programs at all" <unknown_lamer>of course, one would expect the mind that came up with Qi/Shen to be perplexing :) <ArneBab>I’m contributing to making CC by-sa compatible to GPL (at least one-way), and in those discussions I saw quite some anti-GPL FUD. <ArneBab>be in the wrong situation, and it’s easy to get caught up in it <ArneBab>unknown_lamer: I wouldn’t have used the word hippies - anti-commercialism is pretty widespread within net activist groups in germany, and many of these aren’t really left wing or hippie. <ArneBab>I consider that as one of the reasons why the fight against TTIP, internet censorship and so on is so hard. <ArneBab>not to forget the fight against unfree software <ArneBab>(translated to “the fight for self-reliant free software structures” <unknown_lamer>16 years ago... TCPA, RestrictedBoot, monitors that enforce DRM, widespread dns blocking in *liberal european democracies* etc. were 1984esque scenarios for us <unknown_lamer>I hate steam especially, because half life is a crappy quake mod and quake is Free ;) <davexunit>free software issues aside, half life 2 is pretty much the best shooter ever made. <paroneayea>damn you davexunit, now that I have SICP installed in info format I keep reading it instead of working ;o <ArneBab>unknown_lamer: I left Apple in 2004 because they included a TPM chip in a developer machine. <ArneBab>that’s 10 years ago - and then Microsoft had already published plans for all that we have today
