**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed May 04 02:59:58 2016 May 04 06:54:14 Curious thing: https://git.maemo.org/git/?p=sandcastle;a=blob_plain;f=www/index.html;hb=HEAD May 04 07:00:59 doesnt show as such in links May 04 07:01:10 but in firefox it goes to firefox repositories May 04 07:03:16 might be related to bad certificate on git.maemo.org (bad domain) May 04 07:04:14 Wrong site, yes. How to correct that? May 04 07:04:30 update cert? May 04 07:06:13 * Oksana poked techstaff on #maemo-meeting , like, 20min ago; should wait 24h at least for them to reply May 04 07:08:20 Does Maemo 5 use somehow accelerometer's ability to detect clicks and double-clicks? For interaction with user when screen is blank, for whatever reason? May 04 07:11:06 I doubt May 04 07:13:18 When screen is blank, does accelerometer sleep (and ignore all the rotations and clicks), or does it (in spirit with multi-tasking) keep checking the ongoing happenings (and drain battery)? May 04 07:13:40 IIRC by default it sleeps May 04 07:13:50 but you'd better check mce May 04 07:14:25 10000g high shock survivability of accelerometer is impressive by the way, but I think that other parts would break before 10g was reached May 04 07:17:21 (sleep) depends on what MCE or any other app is doing with accel May 04 07:17:59 actually the accel itself never sleeps afaik May 04 07:18:27 the question is if IRQs are enabled and trigger May 04 07:19:32 the accel like most other peripherals is event-driven (by IRQs it sends to CPU) May 04 07:20:19 only braindead upstream lis302 kernel driver does polling by default - unless that changed since I last checked May 04 07:20:35 Ookay... Mce was reverse-engineered recently, correct?.. Would be nice to have a look at it... What is IRQ?.. Hypothetically, accelerometer's click and double-click functionality could be tuned, to change "expected amplitude and timing of the stimuli"... May 04 07:22:17 yes / / IRQ = a signal on a single line sent from the IRQ generating device to a CPU that awakens from sleep when detecting the signal / yes May 04 07:23:01 Interrupt request, got it... May 04 07:23:19 IRQs (hw interrupts) are the most important 'tool' for designing embedded May 04 07:24:11 unlike a PC, an embedded (battery operated) platform must run event-driven exclusively May 04 07:24:51 you can't afford to keep everything running busy in idle loops all the time May 04 07:25:59 >> only braindead upstream lis302 kernel driver does polling by default << What does it mean? Is it not event-driven? May 04 07:26:15 the lis302 has 2 IRQ lines of which only one is actually used in maemo software. And it has sophisticated filters to define which physical acceleration event shall assert the IRQ-line May 04 07:26:47 (upstream) last time I checked, the driver polled the lis302 a 50 times per second May 04 07:27:31 you'd do that for an USB-attached joystick maybe May 04 07:27:42 *never* for embedded May 04 07:29:14 DocScrutinizer05: we''l fix that when it comes to it May 04 07:29:15 Is maemo driver different from upstream /aka not polling/ , or different? And it's said to be "accelerometer sensor found in several HP laptops" so they might be considering it not-embedded http://lwn.net/Articles/304326/ May 04 07:29:29 es, driver is different May 04 07:29:32 doesn't matter May 04 07:29:38 Oksana: ^^^ May 04 07:29:50 you should never poll if you have IRQ line to use May 04 07:31:33 the maemo driver is not perfect, it does some hardcoded filter setting which rather should get exposed to /sys/ to do it as you like, but generally the maemo driver is much cleaner and smarter than what I last seen upstream May 04 07:32:43 DocScrutinizer05: yes, but lets first have working what is not, then we'll tweak whatever is needed May 04 07:32:56 sure May 04 07:33:10 * freemangordon wonders why nobody wants to join kernel development :( May 04 07:33:26 I'd prolly even want to fix the lis302 driver myself, if I find the time May 04 07:33:28 fmg: time and skills mostly May 04 07:33:34 hehe May 04 07:33:34 esp in the light of the recent achievements May 04 07:33:44 KotCzarny: skills? May 04 07:34:02 you need C coding skills, thats it May 04 07:34:08 yeah, also new knowledge, different from app coding May 04 07:34:21 it is not May 04 07:34:25 also, one has to know what needs to be coded May 04 07:34:41 ie. all that kernel internal infra May 04 07:34:54 unless your coding style is of a .net developer :) May 04 07:34:57 :) May 04 07:35:42 no, really it is not that hard, actually in most of the parts it is well thought and documented May 04 07:36:06 then there is time May 04 07:36:12 yeah May 04 07:36:16 I know May 04 07:36:27 most people with free time are in schools, and they are droid/apple only May 04 07:36:58 rarely you can find someone with rich wife and n900 ;) May 04 07:37:03 :) May 04 07:38:13 KotCzarny: well, I think it is a some kind of a barrier, at least for the guys on the channel May 04 07:38:53 Where is source code of maemo's lis302dl driver, then? I do not even know the package, I see the files in /sys/module/lis302dl/ , but dpkg does not recognise the package? May 04 07:39:08 for me to code it requires few days of total uninterrupted silence, and it collides with personal life :/ May 04 07:39:16 "OMG, see pali and fmg, they are so good, who am I to think I can be as good as them", or somesuch. Might be wrong OFC May 04 07:39:33 Oksana: it is part of the kernel May 04 07:39:48 fmg: try preparing some trivial coding case for the brave May 04 07:40:06 KotCzarny: define "trivial code case"? May 04 07:40:29 kerrnel... Not a pleasant experience, user-side. "Custom kernel settings not loaded", or something, at some of start-ups May 04 07:40:31 something that needs to be done, but only requires few tens/hundreds lines of code May 04 07:41:22 Yes, some small and 'simple' bugs and-or feature requests? May 04 07:41:26 yup May 04 07:41:45 KotCzarny: lis302dl driver might be a good example. You have good code in stock kernel and not-so-good in upstream. It needs porting of the good parts from stock to upstream May 04 07:43:11 What's the official source-code of stock and upstream? /me likes github, simply because of having an account on it already, but would accept just about any web-gui, as long as it does not require installation of git on-computer/ May 04 07:43:25 kernel.org May 04 07:43:28 is upstream May 04 07:43:41 ~elinux-n900 May 04 07:43:44 hmm May 04 07:43:55 ~listkeys elinux May 04 07:43:56 Factoid search of 'elinux' by key (10): pxelinux ;; cafelinux ;; selinux ;; elinuxchanges ;; corelinux++ ;; #elinux logs ;; skolelinux ;; elinux ;; .say #elinux this #DEL# ;; #elinux kergoth.

May 04 07:44:17 Oksana: http://elinux.org/N900 May 04 07:44:20 Is Kernel Power the only way to get IPv6 on N900? https://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power Because IPv6 sounds neat, but messing with kernel(s) sounds dangerous May 04 07:44:40 no, it is not, actually KP is more stable than stock May 04 07:44:49 oksana: you can compile modules for stock too May 04 07:44:54 :nod: May 04 07:45:04 and most likely you can force install those from powerkernel too May 04 07:45:36 but kernel power is one of the few packages with 'power' in the name that are recommended over stock May 04 07:45:42 but I still don't see any reason not to use KP May 04 07:46:21 :nod: May 04 07:47:49 freemangordon: oh and, kernel dev usually means a 2nd device May 04 07:48:01 no May 04 07:48:10 you can always boot through the flasher May 04 07:48:23 Stock? https://github.com/pali/linux-n900/tree/v4.6-rc1-n900/drivers/misc/lis3lv02d Upstream: mainline, stable, or linux-next? May 04 07:48:26 fmg, not if n900 is the MAIN phone ;) May 04 07:48:26 it is convenient, but not a must May 04 07:48:28 sure but you don't really want to do that for your daily device May 04 07:48:57 it'd be like turning your phone off and not receiving any calls May 04 07:49:04 well, you can always buy a second hand for some 30 euros, or request a donation from the community May 04 07:49:07 * Oksana thinks that in scenario of porting from stock to upstream N900 should not be in danger... It's joysticks which will be in danger ;-) May 04 07:49:17 and there is always slight chance of b0rking fs ;) May 04 07:49:25 * KotCzarny has 3.5 of n900s May 04 07:50:05 yes, but you can always reflash May 04 07:50:19 and the chances are not so slim :D May 04 07:50:26 :)) May 04 07:50:28 anyway, having second device helps immensely May 04 07:50:31 see? 2nd device .) May 04 07:50:46 even for testing stock vs testing May 04 07:51:09 KotCzarny: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap.git/tag/?h=omap-for-v4.4/onenand-corruption :D May 04 07:51:26 and that was not enough, I had to make a follow-up patch May 04 07:52:04 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap.git/commit/?h=omap-for-v4.5/fixes-rc5&id=3f315c5b850fa7aff73f50de8e316b98f611a32b May 04 07:52:37 how about hardcoding those values? there arent any n900 variants May 04 07:52:38 bencoh: sure it is better to have second dev May 04 07:52:47 KotCzarny: hmm? May 04 07:53:01 those init values require setting some chip debug May 04 07:53:09 Okay, upstream: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/misc/lis3lv02d?id=refs/tags/next-20160504 /do not forget to change date in URL accordingly with time/ May 04 07:53:09 according to the description May 04 07:53:24 well, this is mainline kernel, you don;t know where it will be used May 04 07:53:32 KotCzarny: it's the onenand driver May 04 07:53:40 n900 is not the only device with omp3 inside May 04 07:53:45 *omap3 May 04 07:53:45 not a n900 board driver May 04 07:53:51 exactly May 04 07:54:08 Kconfig and Makefile look fairly the same... /just eye-check/ May 04 07:54:58 * Oksana should run diff on the two directories, for easier reading May 04 07:55:00 https://imagetragick.com/ May 04 07:55:01 lol May 04 07:55:12 ((needs porting of the good parts from stock to upstream)) forget about it, we discussed that at epic length with upstream and the notion is "there's a working driver, we won't accept a new one" May 04 07:55:42 naah, patches are always welcome May 04 07:56:08 anyway, /me has to run May 04 07:56:12 bbl May 04 07:56:17 yep patches. but those would mean you need to patch out the complete old files and patch in the new ones. And then you get an API change May 04 07:57:59 A: what is API, does it have to be changed? B: Why is API change so tragic? C: Wouldn't it be possible to have two not-conflicting versions of driver (like libs: version 1 and version 2), for users to choose which one to use? May 04 07:58:18 C got rejected May 04 07:58:40 Like, making code more efficient inside would not require change of API? But adding new skills (like click detection) has to change API? May 04 07:58:55 A is Application Programming Interface, basically what you see in ls /sys /dev May 04 07:58:58 * Oksana is going outdoors May 04 07:59:02 API change is rejected only if it breaks userspace May 04 07:59:04 Will read log tomorrow May 04 07:59:11 B, see A May 04 08:00:06 api is functions availabe to users/libs exported as public from the particular library May 04 08:00:50 also, it is ok to introduce a change that implements some kind of a new behaviour, but by default the old one is effective and you "switch" to the new one somehow May 04 08:01:09 anyway, /me is afk May 04 08:01:24 adding new skills like click detection means you need interface to enable and to 'read' those skills, and that interface (API) must not conflict with the existing May 04 08:02:01 freemangordon: yep, that _could_ probably be done May 04 08:02:44 first and foremost upstream has a /dev/* and nokia has a /sys/* May 04 08:02:58 good luck, no fun May 04 08:03:03 fmg: detecting api version and if'fing available functions in a program? May 04 08:03:18 KotCzarny: noooo = May 04 08:03:44 it's always messy when you need to do that for kernel APIs May 04 08:03:48 kind of 'this site should work without javascript, but has more bells with' May 04 08:04:30 forcing it at compile-time is always a disaster since it means having the exact linux headers May 04 08:04:43 so you have to do it at runtime May 04 08:05:26 (disclaimer: IIRC) May 04 08:05:53 bencoh, not #ifdef, just if(APIVER>=1.x) { function is available } else { noop } May 04 08:07:56 ancient OM http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=blob;f=include/linux/lis302dl.h;h=0c1fc3097312f9107ec3d574d2d3a1700444f17d;hb=andy-tracking http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=blob;f=drivers/input/misc/lis302dl.c;h=d345bfb2718fba6c96c7a27d83b53c0a35c9d064;hb=andy-tracking May 04 08:08:29 fremantle (alas stale): http://mxr.maemo.org/fremantle/source/kernel/include/linux/lis302dl.h http://mxr.maemo.org/fremantle/source/kernel/drivers/i2c/chips/lis302dl.c May 04 08:09:14 upstream: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/misc-devices/lis3lv02d (stale:) https://gitorious.org/nokia-n900-kernel/nokia-n900-kernel/blobs/master/drivers/hwmon/lis3lv02d.h May 04 08:09:39 KotCzarny: re-read what I've said May 04 08:09:47 you'll see why it's a disaster May 04 08:10:24 headers might be an issue, yes May 04 08:10:42 and you're doing it at runtime to avoid the header issue May 04 08:11:05 so basically you'll have a huge and ugly detection code May 04 08:12:05 well, detection would be only about apiver, and i think many libs/apps do it this way May 04 08:12:24 they do, yes May 04 08:12:31 and as i said, basic functionality should work regardless of the ver May 04 08:14:31 from torvalds kernel: >> rate - read reports the sampling rate of the accelerometer device in HZ. write changes sampling rate of the accelerometer device.<< sampling means polling May 04 08:15:34 >> This driver also provides an absolute input class device, allowing the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick.<< May 04 08:17:51 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/misc-devices/lis3lv02d me pukes May 04 09:25:51 DocScrutinizer05: how much devuan have you uploaded May 04 09:26:31 hahahahah "how do i simulate freefall" May 04 09:26:34 >tfw you're probably the only one that wants the RGB led's that festoon the proto-prototype to be on the final build May 04 09:26:43 meh May 04 09:26:52 RX bytes:20094295576 (19163.4 Mb) TX bytes:66759818671 (63667.1 Mb) May 04 09:27:13 Uploaded: 70.2 GB (Ratio: 6.60) May 04 09:27:22 rekt May 04 09:27:55 ratio? well that's 0 or infinite May 04 09:29:11 and tbh I don't care anymore, they don't manage to add mirror to list May 04 09:29:50 in the end it's pointless anyway since all .iso do a netinstall May 04 09:30:41 maybe until BETA2 they fixed all that, incl URL for mirror May 04 09:33:03 (lis302 driver) prolly you could even fix the upstream one when making rads from /dev/* block until IRQ triggers, and allow filer&IRQ config via /sys/* May 04 09:33:12 s/rads/reads/ May 04 09:33:12 DocScrutinizer05 meant: (lis302 driver) prolly you could even fix the upstream one when making reads from /dev/* block until IRQ triggers, and allow filer&IRQ config via /sys/* May 04 09:45:10 kerio: (upload/seed) there are like 160 seeders for 30 leechers May 04 09:45:27 ~trackerstats May 04 09:45:28 hmm... trackerstats is http://tracker.dyne.org:6969/stats?mode=peer May 04 09:46:27 S/L/D: 134/28/0 May 04 09:47:13 you can't seed when nobody leeches May 04 13:26:43 moin :) May 04 13:50:54 Sicelo: you ready to get your number banned? May 04 13:50:58 :) May 04 13:51:07 :) May 04 13:51:23 ceene: yes!! May 04 13:51:25 :p May 04 13:51:27 always May 04 13:51:34 lol! May 04 13:51:43 ok, so i'm gonna try and register with your number May 04 13:51:48 and see if i can talk to anyone May 04 13:51:50 or whatever May 04 13:52:10 let's see if i've solved that segfault May 04 13:52:10 well, not getting banned would be a success, ain't? May 04 13:52:16 sure May 04 13:52:22 i think banning will not happen now May 04 13:52:32 but well, it's better to prepare for the worst May 04 13:52:42 ceene: how hard is to make emulation of the other side? May 04 13:52:55 so to not get banned on every mistake you make May 04 13:53:19 i think we won't get banned now, as most bans happen when re-registering with different user agents May 04 13:53:33 that's i think what caused my last ban May 04 13:53:53 now i need to debug the encryption protocol May 04 13:54:02 if i can't build a client... i can't build a server to emulate the client May 04 13:54:04 that's for sure :/ May 04 13:55:22 so, Sicelo , when you're ready i'll need your phone number and for you to pass me the code whatsapp sends you May 04 13:55:31 that'll be better on a private conv, i guess :) May 04 13:56:14 done :) May 04 13:57:29 uhm May 04 13:57:37 Reply: "{"status":"fail","reason":"no_routes","retry_after":3600,"sms_wait":3600,"voice_wait":3600} May 04 13:57:42 i don't know what the hell that means May 04 13:58:25 i think i may need mcc and mnc? May 04 13:58:29 at least not banned. isn't that the wait because sms is not getting delivered May 04 13:58:38 wait :) May 04 13:58:52 iirc it takes 5 minutes for the sms to arrive May 04 13:59:06 nop, but it's not gonna get sent May 04 13:59:42 i've registered numbers without them being in my N900.. there a 5 minute wait May 04 14:00:06 maybe i need to make mcc and mnc be 000 May 04 14:00:10 instead of those of my company May 04 14:00:32 what was mcc that it showed in log? May 04 14:00:36 otherwise status is sucess sms_sent May 04 14:00:45 it's using spanish mcc and mnc May 04 14:00:47 214, 003 May 04 14:01:19 let me check mcc for vodacom sout africa .. likey 655 01 May 04 14:02:43 65501zaSouth Africa27Vodacom May 04 14:02:44 yep May 04 14:04:25 ok, trying again May 04 14:05:27 uhm, nop, i did something wrong May 04 14:05:40 banned? :op May 04 14:05:49 lol May 04 14:06:16 no, not yet :) May 04 14:08:30 it keeps complaining May 04 14:08:44 &sim_mcc=655&sim_mnc=001 May 04 14:08:50 but mcc and mnc are now correct May 04 14:08:54 Reply: "{"status":"fail","reason":"no_routes","retry_after":3600,"sms_wait":3600,"voice_wait":3600} May 04 14:09:02 unless i need to wait those 3600 seconds before trying again May 04 14:11:34 I start to worry that at the time yappari works again, there won't be any accounts left over on whatsapp that are not banned yet May 04 14:12:12 well, i've made my best to keep people from using yappari May 04 14:12:34 seems ou are still active thiugh ;-) May 04 14:12:36 there are a couple who insisted on registering and re-registering from android to yappari back and forth and share their "discovery" on tmo May 04 14:12:41 i assume they're all banned now May 04 14:12:50 well, one can be unbanned, no? May 04 14:13:02 seems ceene says no May 04 14:13:06 in the worst case you get automatically unbanned after 60 days May 04 14:13:20 not that bad May 04 14:13:46 some people have managed to contact someone at whatsapp and cry a little about getting a new phone for christmas etc, etc, and have had success May 04 14:14:10 let's wait those 6 minutes and see May 04 14:14:25 huh? May 04 14:14:27 yep, at least until 16:20 May 04 14:14:27 ok, but does that policy mean you can't transfer your sim to a new phone? May 04 14:14:31 well, XX:20 in your countries :) May 04 14:14:32 check your math! May 04 14:14:54 freemangordon: you can... but if you do it frequently enough or in a pattern they deem as suspect you're banned May 04 14:15:02 Sicelo: why 6 minutes?

May 04 14:16:04 ok, doesn't matter May 04 14:16:12 freemangordon: thing is, I'm mostly sure it won't work yet May 04 14:16:13 ceene: maybe send me the new yappari .. then i can send you the .conf May 04 14:16:18 and not use it further May 04 14:16:25 yes, what fmg is saying :) May 04 14:16:52 ceene: because you're now causing artificial problems :) May 04 14:16:56 we'd still have to wait, though May 04 14:17:18 sure, but I guess Sicelo has his phone with him ;) May 04 14:17:24 now that i've hardcoded mcc and mnc it doesn't really matter May 04 14:17:27 that's true May 04 14:17:39 i worry about contacts, though May 04 14:18:00 don't know what will happen if yappari syncs its contacts May 04 14:18:02 ceene: you sure (doesn't matter)? that one too May 04 14:18:08 and then it tries to use mine May 04 14:18:14 ceene: wait, isn't that an opt=in? May 04 14:18:19 what? May 04 14:18:21 syncing? May 04 14:18:22 *opti-in May 04 14:18:24 yes May 04 14:18:35 that's a good question May 04 14:18:51 it is optional in previous yappari at least May 04 14:18:56 you may get banned if you speak to someone who doesn't have you in their contact list May 04 14:19:01 yep May 04 14:19:15 let me see what happens when you select not to sync May 04 14:19:15 wait, isn't that syncing code part of yappari? May 04 14:19:23 freemangordon: yes, yes, i can disable it if needed May 04 14:19:28 ah, ok May 04 14:19:55 i just don't know what can happen if you make a new connection but don't try to sync anything at all May 04 14:21:46 * freemangordon wonders who with his right mind would want to use service you get banned from for coughing in wrong time, for example :p May 04 14:22:11 those of us who live in countries where this piece of shit is the only thing anybody will use May 04 14:22:12 i have a sim card from swaziland that was never on whatsapp, and i also no one knows it. i'll check if it hasn't expired yet .. if still active, i'll give you that one then May 04 14:22:36 but it's at home ... will be there after 30 minutes May 04 14:22:37 ceene: you're in spain, right? May 04 14:22:39 of course, if you use the official client you won't get banned unless you are a spammer or keep changing phones May 04 14:22:42 your own fault, you didn't say no May 04 14:22:42 freemangordon: yes May 04 14:22:48 Sicelo: don't worry... i won't be here in an hour May 04 14:23:19 DocScrutinizer05: who should i have said "no" to? May 04 14:23:31 watsoup May 04 14:23:35 i didn't even know whatsapp existed when it was all famous around here :) May 04 14:23:37 ceene: hmm, last time I was there people looked pretty much normal May 04 14:23:39 and crap in general May 04 14:24:01 so I guess they still know how to use normal phone calls May 04 14:24:15 lol May 04 14:24:25 of course you can communicate with people May 04 14:24:54 but there's some psichological issues at work here May 04 14:25:04 I see ;-P May 04 14:25:09 if someone's dying, they'll call me for sure May 04 14:25:17 i won't miss a funeral for not having whatsapp May 04 14:25:25 :D May 04 14:25:32 but i may miss something not so trascendental May 04 14:25:42 I won't miss a date for same rewason either May 04 14:25:43 are you sure you're in Spain and not in GB? May 04 14:25:55 completely, why? :) May 04 14:26:23 the kind of the humor sound like English one :) May 04 14:26:24 for example, a cousin of ahycka has is going to be a father now May 04 14:26:32 of course all the cousins will know sooner or later May 04 14:26:43 but all the gossip is through whatsapp May 04 14:26:48 so you miss socializing May 04 14:26:52 I see May 04 14:26:56 not that anything important is discussed there May 04 14:27:05 no, THEY miss socializing May 04 14:27:13 with you May 04 14:27:13 :nod: May 04 14:27:26 well, if they're 20 and I'm only 1... May 04 14:27:31 who's the one socially isolated? May 04 14:27:54 who's the one smart guy that doesn't play sheep? May 04 14:28:11 does it matter? May 04 14:28:15 all those suckers have flatrate plans anyway May 04 14:28:43 DocScrutinizer05: we couldn't have this very same conversation over the phone May 04 14:28:44 deffinitely May 04 14:28:53 that's why irc, and group chatting was invented May 04 14:29:07 but still they rather use something that's completely for free than something they have to pay for anyway no matter if they use it or not May 04 14:29:11 and we're only a handful of people talking May 04 14:29:13 ceene: correct, but then you're not limited to whatsapp May 04 14:29:21 ooh, you're sure? May 04 14:29:32 no, of course the service provider could be any other one May 04 14:29:34 whatsapp completely free 'in terms of money' May 04 14:29:40 is it? May 04 14:29:43 yes May 04 14:30:06 the yearly subscription was dropped last year May 04 14:30:09 ah, I guess it was the other "great" service that was free only for an year - viber May 04 14:30:18 ok May 04 14:30:23 didn;t know that May 04 14:30:30 I'm pretty sure we coild have this convo over phone. we just do May 04 14:30:56 DocScrutinizer05: no, we couldn't May 04 14:31:06 it still sucks, lol, but as ceene is saying .. we need it because the 'rest' of the world just won't accept anything else May 04 14:31:06 because as we're speaking i'm looking at yappari's code May 04 14:31:13 and i'm also talking to other people through other means May 04 14:31:16 and reading emails May 04 14:31:27 ceene: correct, I got it May 04 14:31:35 i couldn't do all those things while i have to listen to all your voices and speak mine May 04 14:31:35 well at least I am using my phone right now May 04 14:31:41 asynchronous conversations are useful May 04 14:32:18 but still, you can say - I am on #maemo, if you wish to send me a picture or video or whatever, you know my email May 04 14:32:29 at least this is what I do May 04 14:32:37 yeah, and i'll get some pictures at the email May 04 14:32:41 Sicelo: that's BS, the rest of the world "doesn't accept" just because nobody demands them to do May 04 14:32:44 no one would connect here because they don't even know what's irc May 04 14:32:50 but still, i'll be missing a lot May 04 14:32:53 i am, in fact May 04 14:33:01 yeah, sure May 04 14:33:21 it's not that i've suddenly disappeared out of the earth May 04 14:33:24 people know how to reach me May 04 14:33:25 ok, irc - but then there is gtalk, skype, etc, etc May 04 14:33:26 but will they? May 04 14:33:41 and as I already said everybody and their dogs each have thweir own flatrate plan for minutes and text May 04 14:33:58 not to say you can chat over SMSes May 04 14:34:06 and MMSes May 04 14:34:06 we don't have free sms here in spain May 04 14:34:11 DocScrutinizer05: we don't have such flat rate May 04 14:34:41 but all of that is missing the part in which you can participate in a conversation with ten parties, not just one on one May 04 14:35:06 I'd rather set up a webchat on my own server than use friggin watsoup May 04 14:35:25 ceene: and what stops you going to the pub and making that conversation? May 04 14:35:37 freemangordon: well, real life for example :) May 04 14:35:48 not all of us have the same work hours May 04 14:35:48 N900 also no longer very useful with gtalk since hangouts May 04 14:35:49 freemangordon: lost generation May 04 14:35:54 futile May 04 14:35:58 nor we do live near enough May 04 14:36:08 oh, so you have time to hang in group chat, but don;t have time to meet people face-to-face May 04 14:36:15 freemangordon: of course May 04 14:36:18 right now i'm at work May 04 14:36:18 I see May 04 14:36:21 supposedly working May 04 14:36:22 :) May 04 14:36:27 toldya, lost May 04 14:36:29 i can't go have a beer now May 04 14:36:31 :D May 04 14:36:48 ceene: ok, got it May 04 14:38:20 lol DocScrutinizer05. i'm in South Africa & my sisters are in another country. calls are quite expensive between these two places. these same sisters have other people they keep in touch with via whatsapp. trust me, i've tried to teach them IRC, etc. didn't get anywhere. they've offered to help me buy a droid instead :p May 04 14:38:41 Sicelo: yeah, SA is another story May 04 14:38:42 500 "friends" on qwitter 1000 followers on farcebook, but a decent phonecall is too expensive, rather chat over watsoup all day long than have a really good 10 minutes phonecall per day May 04 14:39:24 Sicelo: VoIP is ~3ct/min to virtually everywhere on this globe May 04 14:39:30 to landlines May 04 14:39:33 DocScrutinizer05: we can discuss the technical merits of whatsapp as well as its evilness as a company, but the fact that it's used by millions of people speaks for itself: it's something useful that people appreciate May 04 14:39:37 DocScrutinizer05: are you sure? May 04 14:40:05 freemangordon: quite, yes May 04 14:40:10 ceene: come on, does that mean that people appreciate android? May 04 14:40:16 of course May 04 14:40:21 yes, they do. May 04 14:40:21 wrong May 04 14:40:24 :) May 04 14:40:25 it doesn't mean there isn't anything better than that May 04 14:40:28 and ios May 04 14:40:30 they don;t have an option May 04 14:40:35 or that it's the best thing since sliced bread May 04 14:40:40 but they do appreciate it May 04 14:40:45 agreed.. same as whatsapp.. currently no option May 04 14:41:00 * Sicelo hates whatsapp too btw May 04 14:41:00 even if there's an option, there's thing called inertia May 04 14:41:01 having no option is not appreciating May 04 14:41:21 freemangordon: we're talking about something that did not exist 10 years ago May 04 14:41:26 it suddenly appeared May 04 14:41:29 and people liked it May 04 14:41:39 if that's not the very definition of appreciating, i don't know what it is May 04 14:41:44 nobody is forcing anybody to use it May 04 14:41:46 yet everyone does May 04 14:41:56 so... there must be something that they provide that people want May 04 14:42:11 just like suckerberg May 04 14:42:14 do they really? because IIRC by the time android appeared in 2009, Nokia was in decline and the only other option was IPhone 3 May 04 14:42:52 or Openmoko ;-D May 04 14:42:54 here there was a local chat platform, MXit. people used it, and it didn't have crazy policies. user base diminished when whatsapp landed, to the point that the company is considering to shut down May 04 14:43:40 hardly known but OM Freerunner was the first phone where android got tested May 04 14:43:42 DocScrutinizer05: hmm FB owns whatsapp as well, AFAIK May 04 14:43:49 yes May 04 14:44:39 (first phone) that's what I've been told at least May 04 14:44:39 so the policies and marketing strategies are done in one and the same place, and I suspect they learned from redmond May 04 14:44:52 I was EE so didn't mind what they do there May 04 14:45:33 what was pretty clear from beginniong: on MY freerunner won't get any Android May 04 14:46:07 BTW I am really starting to hope Jolla to succeed, as dark times are ahead otherwise IMO. May 04 14:46:23 meaning? May 04 14:46:30 and we actually laughed about first iPhne services sold as newest hottest shit, we had that already May 04 14:46:56 freemangordon: elaborate May 04 14:47:00 well, guys, i'm gonna be going May 04 14:47:13 Sicelo: we'll have to continue tomorrow, as i have all this afternoon occupied May 04 14:47:19 Sicelo: for example - my and my lady bough the last 2 "Nokia with a a flashligh" devices in the store ... May 04 14:47:33 a couple of months ago that is May 04 14:47:49 there is a label "Microsoft" on the chargers May 04 14:48:27 to my surprise, you *CAN'T* connect HF to those devices, even though they have BT, only OPP and FTP profiles are supported May 04 14:49:05 Sicelo: another story - a friend of mine has Mitsubishi car with built-in BT HF (a microphone etc) May 04 14:49:33 his Android refuses to play music through car's speakers, but HF works ok May 04 14:49:47 Sicelo: do you get what I mean? May 04 14:51:52 I don;t think that trading the freedom of choice for a kind of "convenience" is a smart choice May 04 14:53:18 Sicelo: and Jolla are the only ones who try to do something at least partially different May 04 14:56:00 sorry had network trouble just now. May 04 14:57:01 i agree :) May 04 15:34:37 well, difference between irc and WA is the almost automatic grouping of 'friends' May 04 15:34:53 and interface simplified enough to clicky click May 04 15:38:49 similar to the 'computing for the masses' from the '80s May 04 15:40:47 so any usable GPS sw these days? :/ May 04 15:41:08 Google Maps no longer works in microb sigh May 04 16:48:59 DocScrutinizer05 ... my 2nd N900 charging with Red LED May 04 16:49:02 :-/ May 04 16:49:08 any ideas?

May 04 16:49:44 battery dead May 04 16:49:59 video camera on? ;-) May 04 16:50:12 defect battery you mean? because the device is on May 04 16:50:16 and it's not the others May 04 16:50:27 i think this is error LED pattern May 04 16:50:58 when the charger chip (or BME?) detects a massive error... May 04 16:51:21 let me connect to wifi and check syslog May 04 16:51:30 :nod: May 04 16:51:54 use charge21,sh, check error/status code May 04 16:52:39 charger defect? May 04 16:52:57 (overvoltage, poor power) May 04 16:53:05 i doubt. let me check with main N900 May 04 16:53:37 first of all: check if reproducible May 04 16:54:05 and even before: check if device operates from battery May 04 16:54:14 I.E. unplug charger May 04 16:54:16 it's reproducible. other N900 works fine with it. i guess bad battery. May 04 16:54:29 swap abttery May 04 16:55:15 errr wait May 04 16:55:25 you got wlan ssh?
