Yeah no, a browser without JS is simply not a full web browser. Looks like NetSurf also has questionable JS support.

Yes, web standards are a bloated mess and the actual state of the web is even worse. But the simple fact of the matter is that you can't call a program a full web browser if it doesn't support reasonably recent standards and doesn't work with common websites that require them.

LMAO I just installed NetSurf to try out some websites and even Wikipedia looks hilariously broken. So it's not just lack of JS support; it just can't correctly render modern websites.

No?

I'm very aware of the various echo chambers that exist and am under no illusion such as: "Actually, almost everyone agrees with me; you just don't because you're in an echo chamber." That is what people tend to believe when they're in an echo chamber without realizing it.

It's the reason why I tend to ask for mutual tolerance between different world views instead of simply trying to assert mine as the one that must be accepted by others through authoritarian means. Which is, again, something people do if they're in an echo chamber that makes them believe that their view is the Objectively Right one that "most people agree with anyway" and thus unproblematic to turn into a hard rule.

It's also the reason I fucking love debating. Because I don't see views opposing mine as "just stupid fringe views anyway that I can ignore" which is the attitude shown by SuperDicq here and why he just resorts to trolling instead of engaging in good faith.

What is it with people today trying to make a point and then chickening out from reading the counter-points. :blobcat-joy:

The Supreme Court of the UK disagrees with you. No need to even mention the Trump admin because they're clowns anyway but nevertheless they are the head of the western world's leading power right now, so...

You're like the people who say criticizing Islam or illegal immigration is hate speech. Gladly it's your side that's decisively losing on all this stuff right now. Get out of your echo chamber every once in a while and look at what's actually happening.

You're right, I shouldn't have tried to correct a CoC written by narcissistic assholes to give themselves unjust power over others. Should have submitted to their authority or left the project silently without making a fuss. /s

You come across like a total coward right now who just keels over any time someone abuses power.

Wrong. I pointed out that the CoC defends a shitty hateful worldview (sort of -- didn't even say it directly). And then I was proven right because I was treated in a shitty and hateful way by others.

Cope all you want. You're defending shitty hateful behavior. "But it's OK because I won't get into trouble so long as I don't say anything."

Yes, I'm malding about free software projects being ruined and becoming toxic and exclusionary, because I'm a proprietary software hater. One would expect an FSF person to agree, but alas. I'll keep referring to this case as a primary example of CoCs ruining communities, because it's clear to anyone who cares.

Also, you accused me of acting like an asshole and "aggressively misgendering" in project spaces. Guix is the only software project in which I ever received any kind of warning related to CoCs or gender shit, so I'm basically giving you the best opportunity to prove your accusation, going out of my way to link you to the source.

But since you said you're trolling, I guess you're admitting that it was a wrong accusation just to anger me. Thanks for clearing that up. :blobcat-hearts:

Dang, looks like I was way off actually. There's a whole 16 emails by me. Still, that's ignoring most of the bait that was sent my way. And most of my emails were brief.

You can of course refuse to read my responses but then you're basically admitting you don't have a good point and just made a baseless accusation. 🤷

> You know I don't have time to do that.

Don't make accusations without evidence. Would you like me to link every email I wrote there for easy reference? There's probably only around 6 or 7, because I was specifically trying to stop the thread from escalating, ignoring some of the more argumentative mails sent by others. I tried sticking to a simple point.

> I don't really care either, you know what point I'm trying to make.

I think one point you're trying to make is that it's unkind to carelessly "misgender" people in their faces, just like it would be unkind to insult their deity, or call them fat, and so on. Does that sound about right?

The thing is, I agree with that and don't do those things. I didn't receive a warning by the #Guix maintainers for doing any such thing. They didn't really explain what their warning was for. Nor the punishment of removing my address from "trusted members" whose mails bypass moderation, which made no sense because they did this after I sent a mail saying "this is my last mail on the subject." It seemed to be purely a performative punishment to appease bullies.

No reasonable person could look at what happened on the Guix devel ML in February 2022 and conclude that I behaved like an asshole who needs to be moderated.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2022-02/index.html (search "Taylan")

What happened is that I pointed out that the CoC privileges one very odd world view over others, and suggested that it should instead be *neutral* and not pick sides on this controversial issue. This made a bunch of zealots lose their minds. The moderators then decided to appease them.

It's a clear example of a community becoming toxic and exclusionary in connection with adopting a CoC that's written specifically to privilege some groups over others. It's like if you had a CoC that says you must respect Christianity and makes no mention of other religions or atheism.

Wrong. You're criticising me right now and I'm not of the opinion that you should be arrested. LMAO

> Because you get mad projects ban you from contributing for being dick while you're being a dick.

Except, you're lying again! Quote me being a dick in the project space of GNU Guix. Both the mailing lists and IRC are logged publicly.

I'll make it extra easy for you: February 20, 2022, mailing list archives.

Of course. I should also be allowed to say "fuck your Yahweh" and "Jesus having butt sex with Christ" and "Muhammed was a bisexual non binary pedophile."

Do you think it should be illegal for people to say these things?

Did I just commit an aggressive act of discrimination against religious people?

Note how you've shifted the goalpost. First you claimed that I was "aggressively misgendering trans people" and now you've softened it to "arguing that one should be allowed to use sex based pronouns."

BTW haven't been called a "whiteknight" since the GamerGate era where I would argue with straight up antifeminist dicks. Quite the throwback.

I'm not sure if my server's bootloader is in a working state after upgrading to Debian 13.

During upgrade, I saw it say "cannot find EFI directory" and "WARNING: Bootloader is not properly installed, system may not be bootable". The same appears again if I run `dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64`.

However, manual probing of the disks appears to indicate that legacy BIOS mode is used, not UEFI, and that GRUB is installed in the MBR of both disks. (It's a software RAID 1 setup, so it's installed on both in case one fails.)

But if the system uses MBR GRUB with legacy BIOS booting, then why is `grub-efi-amd64` installed, and not `grub-pc`?

Scared of rebooting. Guess I'll open a Hetzner ticket and see what they say.

I've tried to get help from all three of ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok. All of them said a bunch of stuff that seemed half made up, but at least gave me a couple commands with which I could find out the details in my previous post.

With each LLM, I created a fresh chat and listed all those facts and told them to diagnose the situation. This time all three said pretty much the exact same thing:

The system was originally set up with legacy BIOS booting, but for some reason the Debian package for EFI-based GRUB installation was pulled in. This is likely an error in the automated "installimage" tool of Hetzner.

It appears to be a relatively benign situation, that probably just means GRUB isn't getting updated properly. The quick fix is to install the `grub-pc` package, uninstalling the efi ones.

Won't touch anything before getting confirmation from Hetzner though.

I don't care about OPSEC I just use my real-life name everywhere and have my address public too since I have a business registered at home.

And yeah someone like Drew The Vault probably has the time and money to sue people, and he'd absolutely do it. That's why it's a good thing he puts licenses on his software. If I ever wanna use code written by him for whatever reason, I won't have to worry about him suing me because he thinks I'm a fascist because I slightly disagreed with him on exactly one (1) thing at some point.

No way I'd ever settle with a douche like that.

Nah that's dumb. Think about how anti-social and vindictive a lot of people in software are. (Many of them probably got bullied too much at school and didn't take it well.)

If you take their unlicensed code because you thought they're cool, and make something serious out of it that you may even start to make money with, but then they start sperging at you because you called their waifu a shit, they may very much try to sue you.

A free software license is simply a guarantee that no matter how much the author spergs out, they have no recourse against you using that code in accordance with the license terms. I'd very much prefer to have that guarantee, especially when working with randoms online who I don't know very well.
