Unit193Generally, and hope that hasn't lasted long.04:07

thafreakyou have to register to download it though, which is lame22:08
canthus13Keeping unity is lame. :/22:08
thafreakwell, that's the center of their desktop world now...doubt they'll ditch it22:09
_bbbthats the concensus..  ive decided22:09
thafreaki'll be interested to see how computer idiots (sales people mostly) react to it though22:09
thafreaki'm going to force it on some of them...22:09
_bbbthats not very pc22:09
thafreakit's very pc22:10
thafreakwhey're winidiots22:10
thafreakwindiots22:10
_bbbPC LOAD LETTER?!?22:10
thafreaksales people are the worst22:10
_bbbits fun to stereotype22:10
_bbbbut yeah22:10
_bbbstereotypes for a reason i guess22:11
thafreakno...no stereotypes, only countless hours of real life data I work with22:11
_bbbyes just memories for me thankfully22:11
thafreakmaybe i only ever deal with the loser sales people...22:11
_bbbbut ive done it.. some of them are my good friends still tho22:11
thafreakwould explain why they don't last more than a few months22:12
thafreakyou were sales?22:12

* canthus13 is actually starting to like Mint. His wife and girlfriend are both using it now and it's pretty nice, gnome 3 and all.22:16
_bbbborn that way22:16
_bbbyes ive moved to mint mostly22:16
_bbbalso love the crunchbang22:16
canthus13Crunchbang is nice, but....22:17
canthus131 person in charge of the entire project is a bit... unsettling.22:17
thafreakdid everyone just miss the "wife and girlfriend" comment?22:17
canthus13thafreak: ...I thought you knew.22:17
* canthus13 shrugs.22:17
thafreakapparently not22:18
_bbbopen source. open marriage.. ok22:18
canthus13_bbb: That's an interesting way of looking at it. :D22:18
Unit193thafreak: Yep, thought it was odd, but knew.22:18
_bbbamirite?22:18
_bbbanyway.. i love the spirit of ubuntu but not thier version of unity22:20
thafreakdon't really dislike unity...just think gnome 3 is actually better so far22:21
thafreakand i've had fewer problems with it22:21
_bbbyeah *shrug*22:22
canthus13with the exception of the silly mint menu, I like Mint.  Gnome 3 isn't as obnoxious as I expected.22:22
Unit193I liked Xubu and Lubu, but Debian is looking really good once you set it up.22:23
canthus13I may end up switching to Mint Debian.22:24
canthus13But so far I like my openbox enough to deal with a few more iterations of ubuntu.22:24
thafreaki went the debian desktop route for a bit...but certain software went out of date too fast22:24
thafreaklike web browsers22:24
Unit193Testing?22:24
thafreakand some stuff wasn't packaged for debian, but it was on ubuntu22:25
Unit193The rebranding of Firefox is a bit annoying, yes.22:25
thafreakyeah, I think deb testing is a bit better...BUT when a new release happens, and testing opens back up...LOTS of packages need updating22:26
thafreakanyone on the ubuntu-server list?22:26
thafreakwatching the removal of mysql debate is pretty interesting22:26
Unit193Looking to replace with m<something> clone?22:28
Unit193MariaDB22:28
thafreakyeah, talk of swapping it out with mariadb22:28
thafreaki guess mysql's bug tracker went private22:29
thafreakamong other things...and something about vuln announcements being cryptic22:29
thafreaksounds like oracle is oracling the mysql community22:29
* canthus13 hates it when they obfuscate vulnerability announcements. :/22:29
* thafreak hates it when oracle oracle's a OS community22:30
Unit193Wonder what'll happen to VirtualBox, no forks yet that I know of.22:31
jrgiffordthafreak, is the talk about removing MySQL *legit*, serious and (mostly) free of trolls?22:31
jrgiffordUnit193, VirtualBox seems to be strong, Oracle hasn't completely destroyed it. Yet.22:31
Unit193"Yet" being the key word.22:32
jrgiffordyes, but i don't think they'll ruin VBox.22:33
jrgiffordmysql was bad to begin with IMHO, VBox at least has a fighting chance.22:33
Unit193I'll fully admit that I'm "using" MySQL now, but I don't see MariaDB in the repo (Last I knew it was a drop-in replacement.)22:36
thafreakyeah, it's packaged by the mariadb people, but for whatever reason, it's not been pulled into debian22:39
thafreakhopefully that will change by precise...but dunno, time's running out22:39
Unit193Doesn't play nice with the MySQL packages it seems.22:39
jrgiffordi don't think it'll be in precise.22:40
jrgiffordfor a few reasons, but among them is the "its an LTS, if we wanted to do this we should have done it on natty" argument22:40
thafreakBUT22:44
thafreakit's an LTS release, and security updates are of the utmost importance22:44
thafreak"One thing to note, the primary motivator for this proposal isn't about22:45
thafreakmoving to a more "open source friendly" application.  We have genuine22:45
thafreaksecurity concerns/issues with how MySQL handles and publishes their22:45
thafreaksecurity updates."22:45
thafreakhttp://ninjadeveloperclub.com/22:47
paultagsounds racist23:05
paultagalso23:05
thafreakyou're racist23:05
paultagit should be a blank page23:05
paultagalso, so much bootstrap.js23:06
paultagerm, .css23:06
jrgiffordthafreak, didn't hear about the security concerns. they are valid.23:15
jrgiffordpaultag, don't go hating on bootstrap23:15
jrgiffordjust hate on *companies* who use bootstrap23:15
jrgiffordi think a developer who makes something in one night can use bootstrap, but a company that uses bootstrap should have their entire company, from the garbage boy to the CEO shot and hung.23:16
jrgifford:P23:16
paultagjrgifford: I use bootstrap23:18
Unit193Can we shoot him?23:21
jrgiffordpaultag, for professional projects?23:35
paultagjrgifford: jep23:39
jrgiffordI don't know you any more. :P23:42
paultagjrgifford: it's for administrative stuff23:47
paultagthat only us (the developers) see23:47
paultagbut it's part of a professonal project23:47
jrgiffordoh, ok thats ok then. as long as the end user/paying customer isn't seeing it i'm ok with using bootstrap. :P23:47
paultagergo, suckit23:47
jrgiffordlol23:47
paultagif *anyone* has to see someone else's bootstrap23:48
paultagyer doing it wrong23:48
thafreakso, I've never used this bootstrap before23:52
thafreakwhy you guys so against it being used by end users?23:52
jrgiffordhttp://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/23:52
jrgiffordim against it because if everyone uses bootstrap for their front facing UI23:53
jrgiffordthen we'll never see a well designed website again23:53
thafreakoh ok23:53
thafreakmakes everything look like twitter or something?23:53
jrgiffordyup.23:53
thafreaknothing bad about it technologically then?23:53
jrgiffordnow, i'm really liking this use of bootstrap though, because even though it uses bootstrap, it doesn't look like bootstrap -  http://blog.dasroot.net/23:54
paultagjrgifford: also that fleetr thing23:54
jrgiffordtechnologically, nothing - other than the fact @fat doesn't like semicolons in his JS.23:54
paultaghttp://www.fleetio.com/23:54
jrgiffordpaultag, never heard of it. zerb foundation23:55
paultagthey use hella bootstrap23:55
jrgiffordthat doesn't look like bootstrap at all.23:55
thafreak?23:56
thafreakis that sarcasm...i can't tell23:56
jrgiffordthafreak, what, about fat not liking semicolons?23:56
jrgiffordor not looking like bootstrap?23:57
thafreakno about fleetio not looking like bootstrap23:57
jrgiffordit doesn't use a lot of the big tell tales.23:57
jrgiffordaka, the bit fat topbar, the border menus etc23:57
