12:02 pdurbin "Never a bad time remind yourself that Google exists to make money off of you and not to enhance your life with free stuff for no reason" -- https://twitter.com/samandfuzzy/status/311989560592695296
12:05 pdurbin Evan Prodromou recently made two posts on Google+ I like:
12:05 pdurbin "Why, it's almost as if it would be in your best interest to run network services under your own control instead of using quote-unquote free ones run by someone whose priorities are not aligned with yours." -- https://plus.google.com/104323674441008487802/posts/QiM9eNQWqq6
12:05 pdurbin "It's touchingly naive that people think paying for a service is better, since software vendors always look out for your interests." -- https://plus.google.com/104323674441008487802/posts/Fw4W3H9YcFV
12:13 pdurbin my comment on the second post was "the key is avoiding vendor lock-i"
12:13 pdurbin looking through the archives of this channel I see only one other place where lock-in is mentioned: http://irclog.greptilian.com/spanworm/2013-02-09#i_2927
12:14 pdurbin this kind of surprises me because that's a lot of what this channel is about... avoiding lock-in
12:14 pdurbin vendor lock-in
12:14 pdurbin technology lock-in
12:14 pdurbin platform lock-in
12:14 pdurbin etc.
12:24 pdurbin oh, I guess I could mention that this is the script I use (with a couple tweaks) to download all the content from this channel: https://github.com/crimsonfu/crimsonfu.github.com/blob/master/bin/logfetch.pl
12:25 pdurbin it's the closest thing I have to having a way to subscribing to this channel, as was asked about yesterday
