[17:58] <lousygarua> שלום נוכחים
[18:00] <amireldor> עכשיו שלום באמת
[19:08] <Avihay> I... don't get it
[19:26] <amireldor> Avihay, get what?
[19:26] <amireldor> the fact that i use windows 7 daily and i'm the ubuntu point-of-contact?
[19:26] <Avihay> the joke
[19:26] <amireldor> Did I tell a joke?
 עכשיו שלום באמת
[19:27] <amireldor> Oh, I connected as 'lousygarua' which is a nickname i don't use anymore
[19:27] <Avihay> oh
[19:28] <Avihay> do you believe in Linux
[19:28] <amireldor> I have secret plans for a meetup about updating and upgrading ubuntu-il.org
[19:28] <Avihay> ?
[19:28] <Avihay> Do you believe in Linux?
[19:31] <Avihay> Has anyone been to August penguin?
[19:35] <amireldor> Avihay, I believe Windows and Linux both suck equally, from my experience
[19:35] <amireldor> Each has some better points over the other
[19:36] <amireldor> It's a pity there's no good DAW software on Linux, thus no drivers from audio interface manufacturers, and thus chicken and egg problems.
[19:36] <amireldor> I did manage to get one of my interface working well with Linux
[19:36] <Avihay> I'm talking more in the software freedom thing that my question implied
[19:36] <amireldor> Software freedom is important, but eventually on the business world no one cares about freedom
[19:37] <amireldor> And I believe in software freedom, but to some point. I think the GNU guys are too extreme
[19:37] <amireldor> Microsoft are also extreme to the other position, Apple too IMHO
[19:44] <Avihay> Microsoft are like "Give us mo ey, and we'll solve all your software problem". Apple is out there with "Pay us and enjoy the joys of being under our servitude", without even bothering to sound modest
[20:15] <amireldor> which sucks
[20:16] <amireldor> but GNU are like, use your computer freely, but nothing like nvidia will work best or drivers for audio stuff that just have to be propeitary from a business-side point
[20:17] <amireldor> If I could do my audio work on Linux I'd definitely do it
[20:19] <amireldor> And I'm off to play some Starcraft 2
