[13:06] <DJones> Heh, and the answer to redrose's question is Unit193 (Or at least his ppa)
[18:27] <nuit_> I would like to voice a concern about operator abuse
[18:29] <k1l_> nuit_: you are obviously trolling with "<nuit_> Using Linux promotes ill health and poor social skills" in a technical support channel. so please dont waste volunteers time with that.
[18:29] <nuit_> Well i was being sincere but didn't know it was strictly for technical support
[18:29] <nuit_> Im sorry
[18:30] <nuit_> Is there a more socially oriented space where we csn discuss that area of software freedom?
[18:39] <elky> i'm not sure we have any channels where saying "linux promotes ill health and poor social skills" is appreciated to be fair.
[18:39] <nuit_> I apologize
[18:40] <nuit_> I just believe the quotidienne of software freedom isn't something to be shied away from
[18:42] <elky> i'm not sure i follow you with that. i speak no french.
[18:42] <nuit_> The everyday
[18:42] <nuit_> Pardon my french
[18:42] <elky> insulting people for using linux should not be part of "the everyday" of our channels.
[18:43] <nuit_> That wasn't my intention, however the technologies we use impact our lives in multiple heterogeneous ways
[18:44] <elky> if, in theory, we directed you to another channel, what would you try discuss?
[18:46] <nuit_> Both the implicit and explicit ways technology usage impacts the structure of our daily lives, and the potentials for emancipation
[18:46] <nuit_> As well as power relations, focusing on class, race, and gender perpetuated through proprietary, free, and other software
[18:48] <nuit_> Taking foucaults rejection of the repressive hypothesis in vol 1 of history of sexuality as a starting point for the articulation of a site of resistance in regards to technology in the context of diffuse Imperial sovereignty
[18:50] <elky> is that what you think you were doing in #ubuntu?
[18:51] <wxl> besides, that's all irrelevant to the topic of conversation at #ubuntu, which is support.
[18:52] <nuit_> wxl my apologies as i said earlier i didn't know it was exclusively for that
[18:52] <nuit_> elky partially
[18:52] <nuit_> It was a case of a performative utterance
[18:52] <wxl> when i join a channel, it tells me the topic. what client are you using that this is not the case, nuit_ ?
[18:53] <wxl> i should add the first four words of the topic are "Official Ubuntu Support Channel"
[18:53] <wxl> it also tells me the irc guidelines and the code of conduct.
[18:54] <elky> nuit_: before i subject anyone else to your "discussions" you need to go and learn how to have proper conversations that don't go from "why should i use ubuntu" to "linux promotes ill health and poor social skills" in response to people answering you.
[18:54] <nuit_> I am afraid i haven't noticed that wxl
[18:54] <nuit_> In any case i deeply regret the incident
[18:55] <nuit_> elky what is propriety other than a malady of the middle classes?
[18:56] <elky> if attacks on people's health and social skills are your opening act, then i honestly cannot in good conscience suggest anywhere to you.
[18:58] <elky> your ban is not going to be lifted, as you need time to think seriously about your behaviour, and i'm not going to point you at others until you have figured out how to remedy your own social skills.
[19:00] <nuit_> Thank you for the consideration, i hope you reconsider
[19:00] <nuit_> Bye
[19:00] <Pici> Was it even a ban? or just a kick?
[19:00] <k1l_> just a kick
[19:06] <k1l_> @mark nuit_
[19:10] <wxl> might want to mark nuit too. same ns account.
[19:11] <k1l_> you mark the username and the bot makes an entry with the hostmask and the backlog in that channel
[19:52] <Unit193> DJones: Hmm?
