@zero @gray I haven't done for a long time until now. It's like talking to some autist and progressively getting dumber replies. You bait with a single sentence and get 3 paragraphs back.

@gray it's like rhe intermediate output, used for code analysis and shit, clang makes it super easy to use but they purposely made gcc's one impossible to use so "proprietary software couldn't use it"
-

@gray you know they made the gcc compiler output unusable by IDEs on purpose because people might use it (imagine that!)
-

@zero no I didn’t know that but I don’t know anything about programming. I just want a usable system with minimal effort.

@zero it’s the dumbest argument every time.
we need to make our software unusable to keep the normies out and for freedom

@gray @phnt what is funny is that stallman disapproves of gentoo cause you can install non-free software easily

@zero @gray Suisei dislikes Gentoo now, because they dared to label the distro kernel as licensed under GPL-2.0. Something something about firmware or whatever. Too lazy to find the thread.

@gray @zero It was bad even before that, because they dared to host the contrib and non-free repos for drivers and hardware enablement.

@zero @phnt Debian is evil now because they poisoned their ISOs with non-free packages
-
Embed this notice
@phnt @gray @zero it's funny how people like suiseiseki argue against that stuff, even when you tell them it renders most people unable to stomach using any linux distro. At that point it becomes clear they are nonsensical and thus should just be ignored.

@phnt @zero that reminds me he hates OpenWRT because they include proprietary firmware because for some reason people like modern hardware and would like it to work properly

@phnt @gray the linux kernel is only gpl2, linus made a point to make that clear in the license
-
Embed this notice
@zero @gray @phnt i think it would've been hilarious if linus made the kernel gpl3 and that effectively killed it
-
Embed this notice
@zero @gray Yeah, but he had some stupid take about that license being inaccurate in Gentoo, because it can load firmware from linux-firmware or whatever.

@mischievoustomato @gray @zero And that's exactly where the fun with arguing with these people is. It's the easiest "trolling" ever, because you are almost guaranteed to get an answer to your liking.

@mischievoustomato @gray @phnt it would have killed it, that's why he was against the license saying "gpl 2.0 or later" or whatever

Tagging you.

@zero @gray This is it, if you want to read the take. It's about the no-source-code thing, because you dare to download binary redistributables, ie. linux-firmware.
As far as I understand, putting no-source-code into the Linux ebuilds would make them masked, because no-source-code belongs in the BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE group which isn't enabled by default. That would make Gentoo literally unusable unless you used linux-libre, which is exactly what he wants.

@phnt @gray @zero @mischievoustomato at one point i made a comment about the time i was ordering iot toothbrushes (for experiments) from aliexpress and he went on a rant about proprietary firmware. i was not in a place to get into it so i muted the thread.
i like foss and open source, but i'm a firm believer in people computing how they want.
like bsd? linux? beos? plan9? windows? mac? etc? great. get to work and have some computer fun. if someone comes and tells me "you can't" it's not going to be a good day.

@phnt @zero oh I remember that thread. He stopped watching anime because they portrayed proprietary software.

When you think about it, people like Suisei are cucked by their own beliefs in software. Like consciously refusing to use NetBSD for example even though it checks all the important boxes for my use and is better at it than Linux can ever be is beyond my understanding. At that point it's beyond consciously refusing to use any proprietary software, which I can sort of understand, because NetBSD simply isn't proprietary.

@phnt @jae @zero @mischievoustomato he says the BSD license is “proprietary” whatever that means

@gray @jae @phnt @mischievoustomato proprietary is when you have the source code and can modify it in any way you want, so true!

when they post in their profile "free software terrorist/gnu jihad" you already know it's going to be a long and frustrating road interacting.
i use alpine and openbsd. i make no justifications or apologies for what i use. these systems check boxes for the research i'm into even though i'm usually getting critiqued by my lunatic social circle.

freebsd is pretty good in that regard. unless you're running the latest intel/amd platforms you're probably fine.
