| 00:01.03 | dos1 | unfortunately, on Freerunner it was casing horrible lags when starting/stoping ringtone playback |
| 00:02.28 | dos1 | when we switched to just simple wav playback, it was much better |

| 00:24.40 | DocScrutinizer05 | FIQ: the reason is pretty simple: a) you never would know if the uSD (or content of eMMC on that behalf) is still there when you need a ringtone to play it back, and b) the files get converted to .wav *always*, to save the CPU overhead and thus delay for loading the mp3/whatever decoder and then decode the song |
| 00:25.14 | DocScrutinizer05 | dang, maybe I should revert to reading backscroll bottom-up instead of top-down |
| 00:25.48 | DocScrutinizer05 | feels stupid |

| 05:08.22 | psycho_oreos | It is a little ironic thinking about it. I recall there was a patent war with I think it was adhoc on mobile devices. It was somewhat the reason that it forced Google to use proper AP mode for wifi hot spot and not adhoc. If such were the case, then it would be ironic for windows to not support adhoc afterall it owns a fair proportion of nokia anyway. |

| 05:31.39 | natsukao | it was developed just for nokia, and never was available an update, so that flash, is stopped to an old version |

| 05:33.06 | psycho_oreos | natsukao, I sort of doubt its possible to bypass. On N900 (I know, completely different and somewhat irrelevant). It is possible to tweak flash version and there was a leaked flash player available. Though for 770 it may seem somewhat unlikely. |

| 06:41.20 | natsukao | i don't know what is Flash, and how to support it, i got Vidalia control Panel and in bundle FireFox |

| 06:42.51 | psycho_oreos | I only know from the 802.11 aspect, 2.6 kernel tree is ancient. |

| 06:52.42 | psycho_oreos | Yeah I've heard of it, debian also tinkered with GNU/Hurd (as in the kernel itself as well). Though its progress is slow. |

| 06:55.32 | DocScrutinizer05 | indeed |
| 06:55.36 | FIQ | as, to even work at all, maemo needs several closed source stuff |

| 07:08.14 | divVerent | If you assume the linking restriction in the GPL is valid at all |

| 07:08.41 | natsukao | LGPL for libraries, |
| 07:08.47 | divVerent | LGPL is lesser GPL |
| 07:08.56 | divVerent | it's basically a spinoff of the GPL that allows dynamic linking |
| 07:09.13 | divVerent | by essentially removing the linking restriction of the GPL if the linking is dynamic |
| 07:09.30 | divVerent | so if the linking restriction in the GPL is invalid to begin with |
| 07:09.33 | divVerent | then GPL == LGPL |
| 07:09.55 | divVerent | if only it were that easy to prove whether P = NP... |
| 07:10.00 | DocScrutinizer05 | I wanna see Stallman and FSF prove "linking" to a a hw manuf who offers a driver.ko |
| 07:10.11 | divVerent | DocScrutinizer05: that's the next fun part |

| 07:10.22 | natsukao | you must be grateful to RMS, without GNU'S Not Unix Project, LTB, could not develop linux kernel |
| 07:10.26 | divVerent | but putting it on the same device and loading it at bootup is |
| 07:10.38 | divVerent | the chip vendor would have a problem therefore |
| 07:10.41 | divVerent | *no problem |

| 07:13.55 | natsukao | “Free software” https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech”, not as in “free beer”. |
| 07:14.10 | FIQ | in fact, he could just have used another variant of C not relying on GCC |
| 07:14.12 | natsukao | Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software: |
| 07:14.21 | psycho_oreos | FSF afaik provided userland stuff.. Linus Torvalds was the one that wrote the kernel. |
| 07:14.33 | natsukao | The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). |
| 07:14.35 | natsukao | The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. |
| 07:14.42 | DocScrutinizer05 | natsukao: please stop spreading truism |
| 07:14.43 | psycho_oreos | Without userland, kernel would be useless.. without kernel userland is redundant. Same diff. |
| 07:14.51 | natsukao | The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2). |
| 07:14.53 | natsukao | The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. |
| 07:15.11 | DocScrutinizer05 | are you ready? |
| 07:15.17 | natsukao | where is the restriction are speaking about ? |
| 07:16.07 | natsukao | you are free to use GPLv2, or if you want later yo can use GPLv3, nobody is forcing to use GPL Licenses |

| 07:16.25 | FIQ | because your reasoning principe is very similar |

| 08:00.44 | divVerent | some even believe that linking via ld-linux.so is "illegal" but dlopen is "legal" |
| 08:00.51 | divVerent | even though it's the same mechanism, just another time |
| 08:01.19 | divVerent | IMHO, if you go by the letter of the GPL, dlopen is just as illegal... |
| 08:01.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | sophism |
| 08:01.31 | divVerent | but the whole clause may just as well collapse when actually tried in court |
| 08:01.31 | DocScrutinizer05 | or simple stupidity |
| 08:01.51 | divVerent | simply by the judge saying "This isn't a combined work, and it's up to copyright, not a license, to define what a combined work is and what not"\ |
| 08:02.20 | divVerent | like, what if I made two licenses... |
| 08:02.37 | divVerent | one says "A can use B and the whole becomes a combined work" |
| 08:02.39 | divVerent | and other says |
| 08:02.46 | divVerent | "When A uses B, these two remain separate works" |
| 08:03.10 | divVerent | the GPL is attempting to say the former |
| 08:03.33 | divVerent | but everyone knows how grey this is, which is why it was never tried in court. Nobody wants to pay that risk. |
| 08:03.47 | DocScrutinizer05 | honestly, this is nonsense. It targets at forbidding non-FOSS software on linux |
| 08:04.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | I'd shpoot everybody successfully implementing such policy |
| 08:04.04 | divVerent | yes |
| 08:04.04 | divVerent | e.g. what if the glibc were GPL? |
| 08:04.18 | DocScrutinizer05 | :nod: |
| 08:04.34 | divVerent | personally I adhere strictly to GPL in my projects where I can't avoid it... but don't like it |
| 08:04.52 | divVerent | actually, if glibc were GPL, it probably would get watered down that this doesn't apply to POSIX interfaces in the library :) |
| 08:05.14 | divVerent | just like a GPL program can link to libGL.so just fine |
| 08:05.20 | divVerent | EVEN if on the end user's system the libGL is nvidia's |
| 08:05.53 | divVerent | that's generally accepted on the grounds that the libGL interface is a standard interface with multiple independent implementations |
| 08:06.06 | divVerent | but - SO IS THE LINUX KERNEL SYSCALL INTERFACE :) |
| 08:06.15 | DocScrutinizer05 | I'm absolutely OK with "normal" GPL. When I use GPL source and modify it, it must return to FOSS. But I will do the heck and let myself get forced to open up ACME-app just because it links to glibc (or any other lib) |
| 08:06.22 | divVerent | e.g. FreeBSD and Solaris implement Linux syscalls |
| 08:06.38 | divVerent | sure, you then instead won't release it at all |
| 08:06.55 | divVerent | BTW, what is EVEN MORE annoying and what hit Xonotic once... |
| 08:07.00 | divVerent | was libgmp changing from LGPL2 to LGPL3 |
| 08:07.05 | divVerent | while the engine Xonotic uses is under GPL2 |
| 08:07.15 | divVerent | we were SO lucky Carmack hadn't deleted the "or any later version" back then |
| 08:07.18 | divVerent | as GPL2 can't link to LGPL3 |
| 08:07.21 | divVerent | that is just insane |
| 08:07.26 | divVerent | EVERYTHING can link to LGPL3, except for GPL2 |
| 08:08.13 | divVerent | so we now have the funny situation that Xonotic binary builds are necessarily GPL3, except on OS X where they still are GPL2 as they there can use the OS-provided OpenSSL library for the same features |
| 08:08.34 | divVerent | (yes, OpenSSL has GPL-incompatible license, but if it comes with the OS, that's ok, says even the GPL) |
| 08:08.54 | divVerent | the main reason why I did this though was that it's hell to compile libgmp on OS X |
| 08:09.21 | divVerent | we now are ready to go away from libgmp any time though... as libtomsfastmath (WTFPL, IIRC) is also supportedf |
| 08:09.46 | divVerent | and why would we want to ditch gmp? because the FSF screwed up |
| 08:09.54 | divVerent | making two of their own licenses needlessly incompatible |
| 08:09.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | I got better things to do in my active time than to deal with this nonsensical GPL stuff, just to give RMS an orgasm |
| 08:10.12 | FIQ | [09:46:48] <DocScrutinizer05> and even worse: we (the hackers) have to use that hugest virus ever (from Redmond) now, to RE many hardware drivers that are no longer supported at all under linux - hm? |
| 08:10.17 | divVerent | they're not even following the GPL on their own |
| 08:10.20 | divVerent | so why should we :) |
| 08:10.35 | divVerent | I mean... fsf.org offers files (or was it gnu.org) |
| 08:10.37 | divVerent | that are under the GPL |
| 08:10.42 | divVerent | but without providing any source |
| 08:11.10 | divVerent | I called them out on it via email, and all they told me was "no idea, the original author didn't give us source" |
| 08:11.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | FIQ: guess how many companies stopped linux support all together, instead of disclosing their driver code as Stallman hoped to force them to do |
| 08:11.38 | divVerent | http://www.gnu.org/music/free-software-song.html |
| 08:11.41 | divVerent | A version by the band Zweitgolf: free_software_song_sunnata.ogg, released under the GPL |
| 08:11.44 | divVerent | No source, no excuse :P |
| 08:12.23 | divVerent | not even a wav file... |
| 08:12.32 | divVerent | and THEY want to be taken serious |
| 08:12.53 | divVerent | I'm sure Zweitgolf would have given them a "source file" if they had asked. |
| 08:13.12 | divVerent | DocScrutinizer05: right... and it's not even just about company secrets |
| 08:13.28 | divVerent | we can agree that "company secrets" of this kind are bad and SHOULD be stamped out, BUT... |
| 08:13.35 | divVerent | the fault often isn't even with the company making the device |
| 08:13.46 | divVerent | but with some company three layers down the line which made a chip on the card |
| 08:14.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | sure |
| 08:14.06 | divVerent | to release sources of the whole device, THAT company would have to be asked to release source... and they would |
| 08:14.08 | divVerent | for a price |
| 08:14.19 | divVerent | this easily would double or triple all hardware prices now |
| 08:14.50 | divVerent | OTOH I don't get why a driver for hardware HAS to contain any "secrets" |
| 08:14.52 | FIQ | [10:11:21] <DocScrutinizer05> FIQ: guess how many companies stopped linux support all together, instead of disclosing their driver code as Stallman hoped to force them to do |
| 08:15.06 | FIQ | yay for backfiring results |
| 08:15.08 | divVerent | the firmware for the hardware, sure |
| 08:15.19 | DocScrutinizer05 | and evem more silly: all those firmware sources are *absolutely* worthless junk without comprehensive hw docs |
| 08:15.19 | divVerent | FIQ: backfiring? It's not like Stallman endorses Linux anyway. |
| 08:15.26 | divVerent | Hurd is soon gonna be ready... |
| 08:15.28 | divVerent | with 2 drivers. |
| 08:15.29 | jaska | haha |
| 08:15.42 | divVerent | DocScrutinizer05: yes |
| 08:15.49 | divVerent | what we REALLY need for firmware blobs is NOT sources |
| 08:15.54 | divVerent | the GPL doesn't even demand that |
| 08:15.59 | divVerent | we just need to be able to distribute them legally |
| 08:16.17 | FIQ | divVerent: oh yeah and I'm sure a lot of people will use it |
| 08:16.20 | divVerent | especially how the FW upload system on Linux works, the firmware and the driver are very independent |
| 08:16.25 | divVerent | FIQ: absolutely |
| 08:16.31 | divVerent | I will put Hurd on my Nexus 4 when it comes out |
| 08:16.36 | DocScrutinizer05 | (distribute) absolutely |
| 08:17.28 | divVerent | also, I don't get Stallman there |
| 08:17.50 | divVerent | why are firmware blobs that are uploaded to RAM "evil" |
| 08:17.55 | divVerent | and firmware blobs that are burnt on EPROM "good"? |
| 08:17.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | N*F*C |
| 08:18.10 | DocScrutinizer05 | it''s idiotic |
| 08:18.13 | divVerent | or even PROM :) |
| 08:18.27 | divVerent | it's a fact, any hardware contains "secrets" even if it uses no uploadable firmware blobs |
| 08:19.04 | divVerent | I can see why he wants people to prefer Linux distros containing only free applications and drivers... |
| 08:19.09 | divVerent | but I see nothing wrong with firmware blobs |
| 08:19.28 | divVerent | if there is anything, then tell me ONE e.g. sound card with free firmware |
| 08:20.00 | DocScrutinizer05 | RMS even speculates and assumes a damn lot when he claims that "firmware2 is any software at all, and he's even more insane when he thinks we could get a source for that which is telling us anything. Maybe the the whole shite been developed in assembler, eh? |
| 08:20.08 | divVerent | probably the SB16? Yes, you can't flash it, you don't upload a FW file. But what about the DSP itself? The SB16 has ROM chips on them, where is THEIR source? |
| 08:20.10 | DocScrutinizer05 | or even in hex |
| 08:20.22 | divVerent | well, firmware "tends to be software" |

| 08:21.37 | divVerent | jaska: IF they used it :P |
| 08:21.40 | DocScrutinizer05 | jaska: sure, and the source for the compiler as well |
| 08:21.48 | divVerent | GPL says "preferred form for making modifications to it" |
| 08:22.00 | divVerent | Here's a troll method to generate source: |
| 08:22.03 | divVerent | ship the empty file |
| 08:22.11 | divVerent | GPL explicity says you don't have to give away the compiler |
| 08:22.21 | divVerent | so your "compiler" is a program ignoring its input outputting the file |
| 08:22.36 | DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, the cmdline defines prank |
| 08:22.40 | divVerent | hehe, or that |
| 08:22.42 | jaska | write everything in turing tarpit languages? |
| 08:22.52 | divVerent | jaska: you mean verilog? :) |
| 08:23.07 | DocScrutinizer05 | cat hugeprog.c -> x |
| 08:23.33 | divVerent | BTW, recently read about a funny turing tarpit :P |
| 08:23.47 | divVerent | even without self modifying code, x86 mov + jmp is turing complete |
| 08:24.20 | divVerent | use one range for values, another for addresses, but do have RAM in the "values area"... |
| 08:25.02 | divVerent | then mov bx, [A]; mov [bx], 0; mov bx, [B]; mov [bx], 1; mov bx, [A]; mov ax, [bx] |
| 08:25.10 | jaska | isnt the code in this case combination of mov and the data? |
| 08:25.12 | divVerent | would put 0 in ax if A != B, 1 if A == B |
| 08:25.18 | divVerent | yes |
| 08:25.25 | divVerent | but the data can be initialized |
| 08:25.28 | divVerent | see this example :P |
| 08:25.34 | divVerent | you can set up your data with lots of initial movs |
| 08:25.54 | divVerent | basically, they wrote an universal turing machine with just mov and jmp |
| 08:26.10 | divVerent | one final jmp at the end back to the start, as the only looping construct there is |
| 08:26.40 | divVerent | but my favorite esoteric turing-complete language is the single instruction machine |
| 08:26.51 | divVerent | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_instruction_set_computer |
| 08:27.03 | jaska | i wonder how efficient an oisc hardware would be |
| 08:27.57 | divVerent | it's kinda bad to L1 cache :) |

| 16:55.37 | jean_brat | Hi guys .. i hace microsoft bluetooth keyboard 5000, it works perfectly with btinput in nokia n9, however it does not work in (extkbd) n900, During the pairing the number Keys works perfectly fine but after that only the character keys are functional, y and z are interchanged..i have tried almost all the layouts, all seems to have the same result...and same set of keys are not functional.. |
| 16:55.37 | jean_brat | is ithe issue with extkbd? Or is there any specific layout i can try for this |
