06:25 aditsu pdurbin: I can't find anything about that there
06:27 aditsu I only found one workaround so far - opening the page in an incognito tab
13:43 pdurbin ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
14:00 pdurbin I just read https://internetperdition.wordpress.com/2016/09/18/seek-freedom-not-permission/ and I'm wondering what people think about this essay.
18:16 aditsu is that Stallman's cousin or something? :p
18:18 aditsu "This essay is not intended for programmers" - so this may be the wrong place to ask :)
19:21 pdurbin Heh. Well, we are friendly to free to open source software. :)
21:55 aditsu yeah, so it's like preaching to the choir
22:31 pdurbin Like a preacher convention, maybe. :)
22:31 pdurbin tips on selling
23:13 pdurbin Overall, I thought the essay was good. Some interesting ideas in there.
23:14 pdurbin The thing about young people in the future jumping at the chance to integrate information into their brains reminds me of Black Mirror. "White Christmas" episode and the one with the zombies.
23:15 pdurbin Is says preserving digital data is a solved problem and "more later" but there is no more later (that I saw) and I don't think it's solved.
23:16 pdurbin Coercion should be defined earlier. I have maybe a better example (not fraught with security implications) of my old USB scanner than Apple dropped support for.
23:16 pdurbin I think it's rare that operating system vendors drop support for hardware but maybe I'm mistaken.
23:17 pdurbin With the banking plugin example I kept thinking about security and the brittleness of trying to run something that's not supported. Seems like a support nightmare to me.
23:17 pdurbin whoops. dinner
23:51 pdurbin and now my daughter and I are going to watch Thor 2 but maybe I'll pick this up "tomorrow" from the perspective of when the IRC log rolls over (UTC-based)
