[07:29:49] <@Touched> "There are also free programs you can use, such as Ekiga, Mumble, Jitsi and more."
[07:30:00] <+Mako> oh
[07:30:08] <@Alex> yeah, use Mumble
[07:30:16] <@Touched> https://alternativeto.net/software/skype/
[07:30:18] <Dilli> Touched: Skype Alternatives and Similar Software - AlternativeTo.net
[07:30:31] <+Aperso> I have mumble installed
[07:30:41] <+Aperso> but no one uses it so I don't even open it

[07:31:06] * Nex ([email protected]) has joined
[07:31:12] <Nex> .
[07:31:15] <@Touched> why can't we trust any mainstream applications
[07:31:22] <Dark> Dude WhatsApp is the shit
[07:31:35] <@Alex> because the vast majority of the population seriously doesn't give a shit about their own freedom, or anyone else's
[07:31:42] <@Alex> we're the true patriots, Touched.
[07:31:48] <@Touched> lel
[07:31:48] <Nex> agreed, whatsapp is shit
[07:31:53] <@Alex> lmao
[07:32:00] <+Mako> LOL
[07:32:02] <Dark> No nex
[07:32:03] <@Touched> we're not talking about features though
[07:32:06] <Dark> THE shit
[07:32:10] <@Touched> we're talking about freedom
[07:32:13] <Dark> Meaning its àwesome :3
[07:32:14] <@Alex> it's shit Dark
[07:32:15] <Nex> i got swag so come mid talk
[07:32:24] <@Alex> I has sweg so come midi talk
[07:32:25] <@Touched> whatsapp has no freedom
[07:32:25] <Dark> Really good imo
[07:32:28] <Dark> Care to explain?
[07:32:38] <@Alex> because
[07:32:46] <@Alex> it's not free
[07:32:50] <Dark> Touched you too, explain pls
[07:32:59] <@Touched> whatsapp is not free
[07:33:11] <@Alex> free as in freedom, not price
[07:33:15] <Dark> $1 a year is nothing lol
[07:33:18] <@Touched> free as in speech
[07:33:20] <@Touched> not beer
[07:33:21] <@Alex> regardless of price
[07:33:33] <@Touched> free software can be sold
[07:33:44] <@Touched> it comes packed with the 3 essential freedoms
[07:33:48] <@Alex> the $1 a year in reality is probably just to justify having credit card info on file
[07:33:49] <@Touched> (sounds like a cereal)
[07:33:51] <Dark> Its a messaging application with a huge user base and pretty much everything I need
[07:34:02] <@Alex> and that's all you care about, right?
[07:34:05] <@Touched> Dark: except your freedom
[07:34:22] <@Touched> if you like being controlled by your software, fine
[07:34:25] <Dark> Dude alex that's being paranoid wtf are they gonna do
[07:34:32] <@Alex> lmao
[07:34:34] <@Touched> Dark: LOL NSA
[07:34:38] <+Mako> Fuck Ive gotta have a windows pc for mass effect :-:
[07:34:44] <+Mako> *;-;
[07:34:51] <@Touched> everytime someone says I'm paranoid my answer is "LOL NSA"
[07:34:52] <@Alex> Windows gets a VM with no network access from me
[07:34:58] <Dark> How is that being controlled by my software lol
[07:35:17] <@Touched> because everyone insulted the 1984 conspiracy theorists until Snowden showed 'em
[07:35:18] <@Alex> you don't control it, what other option is there? Something has to control it Dark
[07:35:19] <Dark> Idc if nsa reada the messages I sent to my friends or girlfriend or family
[07:35:29] <@Alex> why
[07:35:31] <@Alex> don't you care
[07:35:32] <Dark> Reads
[07:35:35] <@Alex> about your freedom
[07:35:40] <@Linkandzelda> what do you guys think about 7 inch handheld gaming consoles?
[07:35:55] <@Touched> Dark is just being another "i've got nothing to hide" patriot
[07:35:56] <@daniilS> Dark: whatsapp sucks, officially
[07:36:02] <Dark> Alex I really don't get what you're saying
[07:36:05] <@Alex> Touched: people still don't give a shit
[07:36:09] <@Touched> it's not about hiding
[07:36:09] <Dark> I use WhatsApp to text people and that's it lol
[07:36:11] <@daniilS> You can tell by the way they dealt with us users of whatsapp+
[07:36:14] <Dark> That's all there is to it for me
[07:36:14] <@Touched> it's about snooping
[07:36:20] <@daniilS> Those who liked having actual features
[07:36:24] <@Linkandzelda> you talking about WhatsNSAAPP?
[07:36:25] <@Linkandzelda> xD
[07:36:27] <@Touched> and you do not REALISE what information you're ACTUALLY sharing
[07:36:51] <@Touched> "oh I just text people". Really? How do you know that's all you're doing
[07:36:56] <@Alex> I've sold my soul to Google anyway, I can't avoid them now for their gigabit
[07:36:58] <@Touched> can you see the source code and check?
[07:36:59] <@Touched> no
[07:37:10] <@Touched> you have no freedom. you don't have the ability to know
[07:37:13] <@Alex> but god help me if all the other corps are gonna get their hands on it
[07:37:21] <+Mako> Linkandzelda, 7' handhelds 0.o
[07:37:29] <@Touched> Alex: VPN
[07:37:31] <Dark> Fuck NSA, now they know that my dad has to lick me up from somewhere because I texted him!! Criminals!!
[07:37:35] <@Alex> yes, but fucking Gigabit Touched
[07:37:35] <@Linkandzelda> theres always some hidden statistics tracking built into these apps, and the android permissions system is a joke
[07:37:46] <@Alex> I could always drop it temporarily for heavy stuff
[07:37:51] <@Touched> Dark: no, you don't know that the contents of the message are all that's being sent
[07:37:56] <Dark> Okay, my bad touched, that's what >I< do in WhatsApp
[07:38:02] <@Touched> no
[07:38:05] <@Touched> you don't know
[07:38:16] <@Touched> the app could send other shit behind the scenes
[07:38:21] <@Touched> how do you know it doesn't
[07:38:28] <Dark> Such as?
[07:38:32] <@Alex> who knows lmao
[07:38:35] <@Touched> files, device info
[07:38:36] <@Linkandzelda> Mako: yea, 7 inch screens something like this https://releasetablet.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/GPD-Q9-TABLET-GAMING-CONSOLE.jpg
[07:38:36] <@Alex> only they do
[07:38:41] <@Touched> camera pictures
[07:38:52] <kleenexfeu> Omg, best fight EVER : https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-anythinggoes-258117999 Look at that daniilS
[07:38:53] <@Alex> that's a bit ridiculous Linkandzelda
[07:38:53] <Dilli> kleenexfeu: Showdown!
[07:38:58] <@Linkandzelda> Dark: it could send your porn to thier servers. how do you feel now?
[07:38:58] <@Touched> listen to your conversations by leaving the microphone on
[07:39:08] <@Touched> Linkandzelda: lel
[07:39:20] <@Linkandzelda> lol Alex
[07:39:23] <Dark> Not my porn!!!!
[07:39:40] <@Linkandzelda> question is do you care about your privacy? xD
[07:39:47] <Dark> Touched pls make WhatsApp alternative you wizard, you xD
[07:39:50] <@Touched> it's not just YOUR privacy
[07:39:52] <@Alex> Dark: The problem with "having nothing to hide" is that you have no idea what those people are looking for. So you can't say that. You don't know.
[07:39:55] <@Touched> it's other people's privacy
[07:40:18] <@Touched> how are whistleblowers supposed to whistleblow without anonymity
[07:40:35] <@Linkandzelda> windows 10 tracks all sorts of things, and the data they gain just from how you use the os will make them millions
[07:40:58] <Dark> I really think the developers have better shit to do than spy on us, lol.. Could be wrong though
[07:41:06] <@Touched> Dark: nope
[07:41:07] <@Alex> Some have fought and died Others have allowed the strong to be butchered for a price They themselves don't care about and will never understand
[07:41:16] <@Alex> they don't care about their freedom or anyone else's
[07:41:20] <@Alex> they just want the candy :3
[07:41:32] <@Linkandzelda> all they want to do is spy on you, collect statistics and sell the data to a 3rd party. thats how they make money
[07:41:43] <@daniilS> kleenexfeu: could you directly link me the reply? it's just seeking now
[07:41:44] <@Touched> Even if they're just gathering info to advertise to you, how do you know WHO has access to that data
[07:42:10] <Dark> Well, shit
[07:42:18] <@daniilS> kleenexfeu: nvm
[07:42:22] <kleenexfeu> daniilS: https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-anythinggoes-258117999 does it work now ?
[07:42:24] <Dilli> kleenexfeu: Showdown!
[07:42:27] <kleenexfeu> Ok
[07:42:28] <@Touched> Dark: Get informed man
[07:42:32] <@Touched> pokemons
[07:42:46] <@Touched> oh Painter isn't here

By the way (taken from Stallman.org):

Reasons not to use Skype


Skype requires the use of a client program that is not free software; in other words, the users don't control it — it controls them.

A nonfree program denies users freedom, which is unjust in itself. Making the ethical issue sharper, for you to use Skype is to encourage someone else to use Skype, which means you're pressuring someone else to surrender freedom as well. This is plenty of reason to refuse to use Skype, but there are more reasons.

  • Skype refuses to say whether it can eavesdrop on calls. That almost certainly means it can do so.
  • Skype gave personal data about a Wikileaks supporter to another company without any legal obligation to do so.
  • Skype churns the meaning of preference settings, and gives its users a run-around when someone cheats them.
  • Microsoft has changed Skype to make it easier for states to snoop on users.
  • Skype messages are not encrypted for the whole trip: Microsoft can read them. And Microsoft does read them.

The author of the first article ended by bending over backwards to legitimize everything else that is wrong with Skype, such as the use of a nonfree client program, but you don't have to follow him in that.

What to use instead? The most obvious alternative is a long-distance phone card. They are quite cheap nowadays, and they work with any phone. There are also free programs you can use, such as Ekiga, Mumble, Jitsi and more.

It's impossible to have nothing to hide when you don't even know who is searching you 8)
[14:55:00] <@Alex> Team_Fail: The reason you can't have anything to hide is because you can never know what they're looking for because you don't even who these third-parties are
[14:55:08] <@Alex> there is no "i've got nothing to hide lel"
[14:55:37] <@Alex> they could be looking for your shoe sizes, or they could be looking for your political history
[14:55:40] <@Alex> you have no idea
[14:56:25] <Aperso> They're assessing your viability as a target
[14:57:00] <Aperso> Don't worry Starfleet agents are on route to protect you from these rouge third parties
[14:57:47] <@Touched> islam 911 bomb explosion allah terrorist grenade allahu akbar aeroplane
[14:57:49] <@Touched> oh no
[14:57:49] <@Bela> Alex: not only that
[14:57:53] <@Touched> I'm a target nao
[14:57:59] <@Bela> the "nothing to hide" canard
[14:58:17] <@Bela> basically it's like if the police were to come into your house to do a search
[14:58:21] <@Bela> of your house
[14:58:35] <@Bela> why would you let the police just do that
[14:58:39] <@Touched> Bela: yes, but then they'd find the drugs
[14:58:41] <@Bela> I mean, you have "nothing to hide" right?
[14:58:47] <@Bela> the same applies here
[14:58:48] <TyHawk> Hi Touched
[14:58:50] <Le> do you think it's worth repointing manually all maps to expanded offsets in emerald so you have more space in the vanilla area for things that don't work with expanded offsets? like i know items don't work for expanded offsets. also, if i put maps in expanded space, advance map 1.92 won't read the map. can only edit it in 1.95 (which is what i use mainly anyways)
[14:58:56] <@Touched> that's different, everyone is hiding drugs
[14:58:58] <@Bela> the government can prosecute innocent people and convict them
[14:59:01] <@Touched> TyHawk: hi
[14:59:18] <@Bela> it doesn't appear to occur to those saying it that this is giving them the excuse to do that
[14:59:34] <@Bela> because you're now part of a nationwide investigation
[14:59:36] <@Touched> Bela: or my "creepy old guy" scenario
[14:59:53] <@Bela> and prosecutors absolutely go after and convict the wrong people all the time
[15:00:01] <@Bela> and not only that, but on terrorism
[15:00:05] * apt-get has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds)
[15:00:18] <@Bela> they can basically convict you for nothing
[15:00:25] <@Bela> they can claim whatever evidence they have is secret
[15:00:32] <@Bela> and you can't defend yourself adequately
[15:00:34] <Le> good talk

[02:59:02] <Alecks> GoGo: your platinum avatar is the fucking cutest thing ever
[02:59:11] <Alecks> it's so cute the quality can go to shit and it only gets cuter
[02:59:19] <GoGo> :)
[02:59:37] <GoGo> Since everyone on PC and stuff has cartoony things I decided to look for one and I got that
[02:59:54] <GoGo> I tried to make it transparent but I suck
[03:00:49] <GoGo> Alecks
[03:00:52] <GoGo> I take your challenge
[03:00:57] <GoGo> I'm going to set the zoom to 110
[03:01:05] <GoGo> then tomorrow I'll see how it affects my life
[03:01:07] <Alecks> also, GoGo
[03:01:17] <Alecks> you may want to reupload your avatar
[03:01:29] <Alecks> your limit should be 360x360, or maybe more since you're a supporter
[03:01:29] <GoGo> why
[03:01:36] <GoGo> on where
[03:01:38] <Alecks> PC
[03:01:55] <Alecks> Hiroshi Sotomura decided to dump pixel-sized avatars (at long last)
[03:02:02] <Alecks> then he punk'd us or whatever
[03:02:09] * Ketsuban ([email protected]) has joined
[03:02:20] <Alecks> also, your browser should only change the zoom for the current domain name
[03:02:28] <Alecks> so you can keep just PC at 110%
[03:02:43] <Alecks> I keep RHM at 125% but it looks bad because Linkandzelda has badjpegs
[03:03:24] <GoGo> sec
[03:03:52] <GoGo> 485x392 is my picture
[03:03:55] <GoGo> let me check PC
[03:04:25] <GoGo> oh so it can be super big
[03:04:30] <Alecks> gimme the image, I'll fix it up :)
[03:04:31] <GoGo> I didn't realize it'd be that big
[03:04:36] * Alecks has Ps CS6
[03:04:54] <GoGo> photoshop I assume
[03:04:57] <Alecks> yes
[03:05:03] <Alecks> I'll shoop your whoop
[03:05:04] <GoGo> I tried some online stuff but it sucked
[03:05:07] <Alecks> ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
