00:04 DaemonFC; Mostly another story about Indiana ~20 years ago and why I don't have any sympathy for the people getting their gas turned off in the winter.
00:05 DaemonFC; They never cared when I was having a difficult time. Maybe freezing with their gas turned off this winter will teach them a lesson.

00:06 DaemonFC; If they never have their gas turned off, they won't get mad that some people have to live that way constantly.
00:06 DaemonFC; MinceR would agree with me, as a fellow misanthrope, that the only way to get people to care is if it's happening to them too.
00:08 DaemonFC; Federal programs and stuff get a lot less "suspicious" of people asking for help when things are just terrible in general.
00:08 DaemonFC; Then they get really mean again a few years later.

00:20 DaemonFC; $4,000 a month pill.

00:21 DaemonFC; The other one keeps you alive for $13 a pill. That's not a very good pill, schestowitz[TR]
00:21 XRevan86; Mikhalkov airs a programme on state TV, and one of the episodes he called "Are You a Hunter or a Faggot?'
00:21 DaemonFC; Their goal is to keep people on the expensive pills even if they don't need them, even if they don't work better.
00:22 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Some people qualify for "programs" and if you do, I mean, good for you. Take the expensive pill if the drug company will rebate it.
00:22 XRevan86; That was in July.
00:23 DaemonFC; I'm happy. But some people make too much money, and it's a financial decision.
00:23 DaemonFC; I'm not on THOSE pills, thank god.
00:23 DaemonFC; But I feel bad for the people I know who are.
00:23 DaemonFC; We're the only first world country that still has so many people dying of AIDS.
00:23 DaemonFC; Seriously. AIDS!
00:24 DaemonFC; It shouldn't be 7,000 a year. It shouldn't even be 100.
00:24 DaemonFC; If it was just down to treatment failure, the US would have 50 or 60 AIDS deaths in the entire nation, per year.
00:24 DaemonFC; But it's 7,000.
00:25 DaemonFC; Peter Staley took the drug company money and stopped criticizing them.
00:25 DaemonFC; Started advertising their wares.
00:25 DaemonFC; Peter Staley is to the gay rights movement what Matthew GULAG is to open source.
00:25 DaemonFC; Or Free Software, he says he's a Free Software guy.
00:26 DaemonFC; He finds ways to write software that protects Microsoft from being sued.
00:26 DaemonFC; While they make our PCs nastier.
00:26 DaemonFC; Did he ever start out at a Free Software guy? I don't know.
00:27 DaemonFC; I think Staley started out as an activist, while he was dying and while he was mad that the only thing that could help him was $10,000 a month in 1985.
00:27 DaemonFC; When he was in no danger of dying anymore, he called it, and went to work for the drug companies.
00:28 DaemonFC; Even people who start out with good intentions, or at least try to do good for selfish reasons, can be turned later.
00:28 DaemonFC; I mean, look at Charlton Heston. He was not a dumb guy.
00:28 DaemonFC; He was very well educated.
00:28 MinceR; "If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed!"
00:28 DaemonFC; He was a strong promoter of things like labor unions.
00:28 DaemonFC; And then he flipped and endorsed Ronald Reagan.

00:29 DaemonFC; Vader?
00:30 DaemonFC; There's nobody fighting against the drug companies anymore.
00:30 DaemonFC; They have it down to 7,000 AIDS deaths a year, and most of them are poor blacks in the south.
00:31 DaemonFC; So the Staleys can rest now and go on the drug company payroll and not care.
00:31 DaemonFC; Illinois only very recently repealed its criminal AIDS law.
00:31 DaemonFC; Leftover from the AIDS panic, but even Cook County was trying to enforce it.
00:32 DaemonFC; Up until it was repealed!
00:32 MinceR; Sidious
00:32 DaemonFC; I mean, you'd think the only justification for repeal would need to be "It is common knowledge that having unprotected sex is a risk for HIV.".
00:33 DaemonFC; I think I'd make an interesting judge.
00:37 DaemonFC; MinceR, I was reading the case law of Indiana's former sodomy law.
00:37 DaemonFC; From before it was repealed in the mid 70s.
00:38 DaemonFC; In one case, a man argued to the state Supreme Court that he couldn't be convicted for Sodomy because it was not explained to him that the guy he was having sex with in prison was a human being.

00:46 DaemonFC; There's something from the trial court.
00:46 DaemonFC; Which was copied into the Appeals Court as background of the case.
00:46 DaemonFC; Trying to find court records from the 1970s is difficult.
00:47 DaemonFC; "The 15 year old youth resisted attempts to sodomize him but was unsuccessful. The appellant and another, his co-defendant, penetrated the 15 year old youth anually."
00:47 DaemonFC; MinceR, Penetrated him annually.
00:47 DaemonFC; The courts are wonderful, aren't they?
00:49 DaemonFC; "At the close of the State's evidence and at the close of all the evidence appellant moved the court for a discharge, contending that a prima facie case had not been made by the State against him for the reason that the State had failed to prove the fact that the assaulted youth was a human being. He further claimed that the court took judicial notice of the fact that the prosecuting witness was a human being after the motion was first filed
00:49 DaemonFC; but prior to the overruling of said motion. (The motion was again overruled at the close of all the evidence.)"
00:51 DaemonFC; The text of the law said that the state had to prove that the act occurred with a human being, and his argument was that the state never argued that the victim was human until after the trial was in progress.
00:51 DaemonFC; Well, he may well have been right, actually. In a technical sense.
00:52 DaemonFC; If the criminal complaint never read out that the crime was committed on a human being.
00:52 DaemonFC; But there was no way the court was going to let him go;
00:56 DaemonFC; MinceR, That's the state for you.
00:57 DaemonFC; Even if you are right, they're not letting you win.
00:57 DaemonFC; He committed a crime, but the prosecutor screwed up in a way that should have fouled the case.
00:57 DaemonFC; But the judges ignored it and convicted him anyway.

05:44 DaemonFC; It doesn't matter how slight the transgression. He'll blow it entirely out of proportion. Make a big stink about nothing.

05:48 DaemonFC; The ones who won't stop are the ones who will get it.
05:48 DaemonFC; Then hopefully they'll be immune from having been infected and won't be vectors again.
05:49 DaemonFC; Back to suicide "prevention".
05:50 DaemonFC; It's a lark. You know, people who call those things are obviously having second thoughts already.
05:50 DaemonFC; People who do it go ahead and do it.
05:50 DaemonFC; Basically, it's like this "self abuse" line for the mentally ill.
05:50 DaemonFC; The consequences of calling that number are going to make whatever you're going through now seem pretty good by the time they get done with you.
05:51 DaemonFC; They take you somewhere, "observe" you, get a court to declare you incompetent to have a gun permit, and then you have the State Police going through your house.
05:52 DaemonFC; Then while that's going on, the "mental health center" charges you $30,000 for being there and dumps you out with 30 days worth of medication, which some psychiatrist who saw you once or twice for a total of 20 minutes thinks you should take, based on a guess about what might be "wrong with you".
05:53 DaemonFC; And even if he was right, which, he was probably not, you won't get follow up care unless you have good insurance, and if your life was going so well that you have good insurance, you probably wouldn't have been having suicidal ideation.
05:53 DaemonFC; So you don't get that and can't get a prescription, and even if you could get a prescription, the drugs themselves are $1,500 a month and also don't work, except that they might cause suicide. Says so right on the bottle.
05:54 DaemonFC; If you dive into the research studies on SSRI antidepressants, you'll find that they barely worked better than the placebo, except in the studies where the placebo and the drug were equally effective, which they decided not to submit to the FDA, which is fine for some reason.
05:55 DaemonFC; There's the black box suicide warning.
05:55 DaemonFC; So we know they're doing something, and it's not good.

07:03 schestowitz[TR]; or authorised

08:36 DaemonFC; "The core is based on 6502 Microsoft BASIC, and as such it shares many characteristics with other 6502 BASICs of the time, such as Applesoft BASIC. Commodore licensed BASIC from Microsoft in 1977 on a "pay once, no royalties" basis after Jack Tramiel turned down Bill Gates' offer of a $3 per unit fee, stating, "I'm already married," and would pay no more than $25,000 for a perpetual license.[1]"
08:38 DaemonFC; "Like the original Microsoft BASIC interpreter, Commodore BASIC is slower than native machine code. Test results have shown that copying 16 kilobytes from ROM to RAM takes less than a second in machine code, compared to over a minute in BASIC."

21:31 DaemonFC; The United States is not a democracy. It's something far, far, worse, which has institutions that pretend to be somewhat democratic, in order to increase buy-in from people who think they have an influence on the political environment.
21:32 DaemonFC; But that's all it is. Has it been even worse than this before? SURE!
21:32 DaemonFC; The 3/5ths Compromise, the lack of women and people between 18-21 being able to vote.

21:34 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], These cumulative updates for Windows are, I think, why people are rushing towards the exits, more than anything else.
21:34 DaemonFC; They're realizing that there's no way to control the onslaught of broken and high-risk updates anymore.
21:34 schestowitz[TR]; true
21:34 schestowitz[TR]; but we need to speed that up
21:34 schestowitz[TR]; in some countries, sadly, they move to "phones"
21:34 schestowitz[TR]; it's a regression
21:35 schestowitz[TR]; but..
21:35 schestowitz[TR]; based on Linux
21:35 schestowitz[TR]; it's improving over Windows in a few ways
21:35 schestowitz[TR]; but a step back in many other ways
21:35 schestowitz[TR]; and they don't use their PCs till the end
21:35 s98259; People won't turn to GNU/Linux, they're to fucked in the membrane to even learn the system.
21:35 DaemonFC; Phones are even worse than Windows in some ways, because it's easier to shove spyware in an "app" and with the iPhone at least, no way for the user to run a corrected version of that app.

21:35 schestowitz[TR]; s98259: I don't think that's true

21:58 schestowitz[TR]; I've noticed that Fedora is grabbing things directly out of OpenSUSE at this point.
21:59 schestowitz[TR]; many orphaned packages
21:59 DaemonFC; "Furthermore, its just a simple Python wrapper over Webkit and as we both already have Python and Webkit (used to show help pages in the current GUI) on the media, it does not really make the installation image any larger, even with the existing GTK3 GUI still in place!"
21:59 DaemonFC; So how is this going to work out on KDE, where WebkitGTK and GTK are not part of KDE?
21:59 DaemonFC; Or dod they just plan on killing the spins?
21:59 DaemonFC; Or do they plan to crap them up with GNOME stuff?
22:00 DaemonFC; It's not a problem on GNOME, sure. You're using GNOME components.
22:01 DaemonFC; WebkitGTK has vastly improved over the years, but it's still sort of limited in some ways, mostly because of Safari and Apple wanting to limit what you can do with Safari, which harms us.
22:02 DaemonFC; Their Content Blockers is not ideal. In some ways, it's better for us because the Epiphany "Adblock" code was horrid and incomplete, and so Apple's Content Blockers made THAT situation better.

22:03 DaemonFC; But it's not on par with ublock-origin, and never will be, and unless someone adds the WebRequest API to WebkitGTK, that's not going to change, so things like uBO and NoScript won't work even after WebExtensions support gets added in a few months.

22:04 schestowitz[TR]; ICBM keeps pushing GTK
22:04 schestowitz[TR]; now they want to deprecate GTK2
22:05 schestowitz[TR]; I can find the link
22:05 schestowitz[TR]; from 2-3 days agoi
22:05 DaemonFC; So we had to drop EasyPrivacy from it because it was breaking Web sites that should have worked.
22:05 schestowitz[TR]; the web is likle this
22:05 schestowitz[TR]; it pushes some nasty thing
22:05 Helenah; o.O
22:05 schestowitz[TR]; then you stoip the nasty thing
22:05 schestowitz[TR]; then the sites don't work
22:05 Helenah; O.o
22:05 Helenah; o.O
22:05 Helenah; o.o
22:05 schestowitz[TR]; so the web is inherently not working or working agaionst you
22:05 Helenah; O.O
22:05 DaemonFC; GTK2 has been in maintenance mode for years.
22:05 schestowitz[TR]; and you cannot fix that anymore
22:05 Helenah; WWW sux
22:06 Helenah; donkey balls
22:06 DaemonFC; It's only supported because some applications aren't ported. It was never going to live on forever.
22:06 schestowitz[TR]; I try to use gemini more/mostly
22:06 DaemonFC; Adding things like features or Wayland support to GTK2 isn't feasible.

22:07 Helenah; That's true
22:07 Helenah; He's right guys
22:07 Helenah; He's correct
22:07 Helenah; okies
22:07 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], But the Web is alarming.
22:07 schestowitz[TR]; Helenah: how much did you huff and puff? :-)
22:07 Helenah; schestowitz[TR]: hmm?
22:08 DaemonFC; It's changing at a rapid clip and I actually fixed something because of the article you posted about scammers taking over mandriva's former domain and pitching some sort of casino scam.
22:08 schestowitz[TR]; partly joking
22:08 Helenah; "partly"
22:08 DaemonFC; I went to Wikipedia and removed all of the direct links to mandriva's former domain that I could find.
22:08 schestowitz[TR]; it still has some?
22:09 schestowitz[TR]; the official article, the main one, did not
22:09 DaemonFC; Yeah, they had "dead link" next to it.
22:09 DaemonFC; But it went to the scam site.
22:09 schestowitz[TR]; also, distrowatch made the links not clickable
22:09 DaemonFC; So I removed those.
22:09 schestowitz[TR]; that's the www
22:09 schestowitz[TR]; btw, number of internet domain i sdecreasing
22:09 DaemonFC; I mean, we should fix those. Why should we help scammers make money off of things like this?
22:09 Helenah; BBS <3
22:09 schestowitz[TR]; even if you count scammers
22:09 Helenah; IRC <3
22:09 DaemonFC; We should cut them off from it whenever we can so there's less incentive to keep doing it.
22:10 DaemonFC; I doubt many Wikipedia users click that link and hand the scammers their credit cards or something, but if even one person does, they made money.
22:10 DaemonFC; Possibly more than having that domain renewed cost them.
22:11 DaemonFC; So if you make more than it cost you, it's worth it.

22:11 Helenah; BONKERS!
22:11 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: I have not
22:11 schestowitz[TR]; mandriva is not the onl;y sucj problem
22:12 DaemonFC; WWW grows, mostly by taking 600 MB to do what 6 MB did 20 years ago and 6 MB to do what 600 KB did 20 years ago.
22:12 DaemonFC; :)
22:12 Helenah; Mobile apps even usually just wrap websites up inside of them.
22:12 schestowitz[TR]; I linked to thousands of domains that are now scam sites... after up to 16 years
22:12 schestowitz[TR]; if yoiu removed all links to all sites that are no longer owned and run by the same people/companies, there would not be many links left at all
22:12 DaemonFC; They're calling an entire generation "zoomers" like, after a single company I think.
22:12 DaemonFC; This is fucked.
22:12 schestowitz[TR]; many wikipedia references become web archive/wayback machine urls
22:13 DaemonFC; A nasty company that may not even be in business anymore in 4-5 years.
22:13 schestowitz[TR]; *internet archive
22:13 DaemonFC; And demographers will keep calling them that.
22:13 Helenah; hmm
22:13 schestowitz[TR]; zoom is a joke
22:13 DaemonFC; Thank god they didn't call my generation the "Facebookers" or the "Myspacers".

22:14 DaemonFC; Ad rates are way down and he's investing billions per year into things that will only ever cost "Meta" money.
22:14 schestowitz[TR]; the "apps" don't do much sophisticated stuff except the spying
22:14 schestowitz[TR]; same for "dating" apps
22:14 Helenah; DaemonFC: All social media sites are just pop up and eventually gone thingies.
22:14 schestowitz[TR]; they're geometry "apps"
22:14 DaemonFC; Yes, and then all that effort to post there, all the hours of lives wasted....
22:14 Helenah; They tend to run for YEARS, maybe a decade after in the background but nobody speaks about them anymore.
22:14 DaemonFC; GONE
22:15 Helenah; For example last I checked MySpace was still going.
22:15 schestowitz[TR]; All Zuckerberg can do since he went crazy is burn money faster than they can make more.
22:15 Helenah; Things like ICQ are still going
22:15 schestowitz[TR]; my mom told me today people quit facebook
22:15 schestowitz[TR]; exceptm old people
22:15 Helenah; but nobody ever speaks of them
22:15 schestowitz[TR]; like her
22:15 schestowitz[TR]; and that they moved to instagram
22:15 DaemonFC; Most people don't "engage" with it.
22:15 schestowitz[TR]; I had tro remind her who ownes instagram
22:15 Helenah; Agreed
22:15 schestowitz[TR]; the ignorance is astounding
22:15 DaemonFC; There's a lot of dangling accounts that people rarely check.
22:15 schestowitz[TR]; I asked her,
22:15 schestowitz[TR]; how many people did you physically meet
22:16 Helenah; IRC is the same really, still a thing, people are still creating IRC networks, people are still connecting to IRC networks but nobody speaks of IRC.
22:16 schestowitz[TR]; distict people
22:16 Helenah; These things become a niche
22:16 Helenah; and eventually die
22:16 schestowitz[TR]; she said 8 this month, she could count them on two hands
22:16 DaemonFC; The only sort of economy that makes sense today for sustainability and equity is a post-growth economy. But we won't have one.
22:16 schestowitz[TR]; I said, that's how many friends you have
22:16 schestowitz[TR]; IRC is the same really, still a thing, people are still creating IRC networks, people are still connecting to IRC networks but nobody speaks of IRC.
22:16 schestowitz[TR]; IRC users speak of IRC
22:16 schestowitz[TR]; GAFAM media does not
22:16 DaemonFC; They have to pretend that this fake shit is important and that people need to waste their lives working on fake shit and promoting fake shit with their bullshit job, so that they can say it's the "economy growing".
22:17 schestowitz[TR]; that media is paid to do ads/marketing as "news"
22:17 DaemonFC; And with the economy "growing", they need "more workers".
22:17 DaemonFC; And it's just absolutely stupid.
22:17 schestowitz[TR]; and IRC doe snot buy 'the news'
22:17 Helenah; schestowitz[TR]: Correct
22:17 Helenah; But my point is...
22:17 Helenah; Not many of them in the world
22:17 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: and they tell us to do "self-checkout"
22:17 Helenah; so you don't walk through your front door and hear someone speaking of IRC
22:17 schestowitz[TR]; because then the workers are paid nothing
22:17 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The side effect is sometimes Free Software.
22:17 Helenah; You'll most likely hear someone mention Facebook
22:17 schestowitz[TR]; the workers are the customers
22:18 DaemonFC; But that's "feeding the sparrows through the horses".
22:18 DaemonFC; You have to dole out so much of your economic output to the Fakebooks and they abuse people badly, and then they put out a trivial amount of Free Software that is usable in Linux or something.
22:18 schestowitz[TR]; Helenah: there are aboyuut a million irc usersa
22:18 schestowitz[TR]; and online there are maybe half a million at any one time

22:19 DaemonFC; Maybe some of what they do will end up in Linux, but he's basically at another Facebook.
22:19 schestowitz[TR]; they ran out of "fake articles budget"
22:19 schestowitz[TR]; puff pieces pretending this can work out
22:19 schestowitz[TR]; I know first hand it won't wqork

22:30 XRevan86; It's always fun when a neologism is retroactively applied to almost everything humans do.
22:30 schestowitz[TR]; the body would react badly
22:30 Helenah; It's a pretty useless implant because that will become obsolete quickly and he'll have to remove it.
22:30 Helenah; schestowitz[TR]: No, not if it's covered in resin.
22:30 schestowitz[TR]; so it''s a bubble with something in it
22:30 schestowitz[TR]; and charging these things is hard
22:30 Helenah; Actually implant rejection can still occure
22:30 schestowitz[TR]; like pacemakers

22:30 Helenah; Yes
22:31 schestowitz[TR]; you could program a pacemaker

22:31 Helenah; Implant rejection looks bad

22:32 schestowitz[TR]; it needs like 5 volts
22:32 Helenah; Yeah, he charges it via radio
22:33 Helenah; You can get wireless chargers for phones
22:33 Helenah; It's a flat coil
22:33 Helenah; Like a pad

22:34 Helenah; And an OS was GNU/Linux distro was developed from it for use inside the body.
22:34 schestowitz[TR]; I follow everything there
22:34 schestowitz[TR]; maybe I even linked to that project
22:35 Helenah; That was it, he was hosting a file server inside his body.
22:35 XRevan86; Helenah: So are we talking raspi zero or the regular version?
22:35 schestowitz[TR]; pico?
22:35 Helenah; XRevan86: I can't fully remember that part.
22:35 schestowitz[TR]; pico does not run gnu/linux
22:35 Helenah; But I explained as much as I could and even pointed you guys to hackaday.
22:35 XRevan86; Oh, Pico's a thing, yea.
22:35 Helenah; Anyway biohacking is cool
22:35 XRevan86; Of course if someone implanted a proper raspi, that's way more hilarious.
22:35 schestowitz[TR]; those have availability
22:36 schestowitz[TR]; unlike the "main" product
22:36 DaemonFC; It's almost cheaper to buy new clothes than to go to the laundromat.
22:36 schestowitz[TR]; XFaCE: they can put that inside a boob blob
22:36 schestowitz[TR]; but then it would overheat
22:36 schestowitz[TR]; it would also hurt to sleep on it
22:36 schestowitz[TR]; the pi has shrp edges
22:37 schestowitz[TR]; sooner or later it would become so disgusting and damaged you'd remove it and have only scars
22:37 schestowitz[TR]; and maybe tumours too
22:37 XRevan86; schestowitz: Maybe bubble wrap it :)
22:37 schestowitz[TR]; the bubbles would melt
22:37 XRevan86; But it would still overheat of course.
22:38 schestowitz[TR]; so you end up with ewaste in your body
22:38 Helenah; I once got to see inside an NOC (Network Operations Centre), that was soo cool! :D
22:38 Helenah; Exclusive access too!!!
22:38 schestowitz[TR]; my office is a NOC
22:38 schestowitz[TR]; right now evern
22:38 schestowitz[TR]; 9 screns
22:38 schestowitz[TR]; wide uses 3
22:38 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], People wonder how it can be that expensive to go to the laundromat.
22:38 schestowitz[TR]; *wife
22:38 Helenah; This has the worlds second largest plasma screen in it.
22:38 XRevan86; Maybe if a person has a lot of fat and it's implanted just below the skin, with all the ports exposed through the skin
22:38 DaemonFC; It's simple. Like everything else, "Because they can do it to you.".
22:38 Helenah; Still used to this day
22:39 schestowitz[TR]; large screens are very expensive
22:39 schestowitz[TR]; a
22:39 DaemonFC; Why does it cost $1,000 a month to rent an apartment that hasn't been maintained properly and where everything smells like mildew?
22:39 DaemonFC; Because they can!
22:39 schestowitz[TR]; better to buy array of smaller ones
22:39 schestowitz[TR]; you also get finer resolution
22:39 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: in IL?
22:39 schestowitz[TR]; inc. bills?
22:40 DaemonFC; $1,000 is now on the lower end, and it doesn't include electric.
22:40 schestowitz[TR]; water?
22:40 DaemonFC; Yeah. water and garbage.
22:40 schestowitz[TR]; well, water is not as expensive now
22:40 Helenah; schestowitz[TR]: https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/sites/datacenterknowledge.com/files/styles/article_featured_retina/public/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/BT-network-ops-center-Oswestry.jpg?itok=9_cse_gr
22:40 schestowitz[TR]; just scarece due to lack of rainfall here
22:40 Helenah; I was looking down on it like that
22:40 DaemonFC; The Democrats do raise the water bill every time they want to spend the money on something else.
22:40 DaemonFC; And not say it's a tax.
22:40 schestowitz[TR]; gchq in man has some very large screen
22:40 schestowitz[TR]; graft
22:40 Helenah; You see that screen?
22:40 Helenah; That huge screen?
22:40 schestowitz[TR]; they wate money on it like mad
22:41 schestowitz[TR]; the one in heron house
22:41 schestowitz[TR]; opp.. town hall
22:41 Helenah; It displays UK TV broadcasting channels
22:41 schestowitz[TR]; and they joke about how much money was wasted on iut
22:41 Helenah; 999 call monitoring stuff
22:41 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], They should come here and take some lessons from our politicians about how to fuck you over and not have anything you can do about it.
22:41 Helenah; They answer your 999 calls
22:41 schestowitz[TR]; that screen is useless vanity
22:41 DaemonFC; Like just keep raising your water bill every time they want to spend money.
22:41 schestowitz[TR]; because from that distance they cannot see much
22:41 schestowitz[TR]; it's just adult "kids"
22:41 schestowitz[TR]; trying to emulate scifi filsm
22:41 schestowitz[TR]; they watched as kids
22:42 schestowitz[TR]; keith alexander from nsa actually said he anted to emulate star trek
22:42 schestowitz[TR]; nad make a "bdridge" in nsa
22:42 schestowitz[TR]; adult kids
22:42 Helenah; lol :D
22:42 schestowitz[TR]; waste of money on fantasies with no practical benefit
22:42 DaemonFC; Yeah, but nobody can stop them, so.....
22:42 schestowitz[TR]; they ncannot read the finer fonts from their desks
22:42 DaemonFC; Why not?
22:42 schestowitz[TR]; even with eyeglasses on
22:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I'm the government. Don't mind me. I'll just get in your bank account and take whatever I want because you can't stop me. Here, I'll go spend it on a "safe space" for heroin addicts to shoot up right in front of nurses you're paying for.
22:43 schestowitz[TR]; Helenah: it shows the standard desk has 4 monitors
22:43 schestowitz[TR]; and then some giant monitor that costs maybe 1000 times the cost of a small one
22:43 schestowitz[TR]; and is not very useful anyway
22:44 schestowitz[TR]; gchq manchester wasted like tens of millions on a screen iirc
22:44 schestowitz[TR]; and it became a local joke
22:44 Helenah; lol
22:44 schestowitz[TR]; when you are gchq you havbe no budgetg limits or contraints
22:44 DaemonFC; "Oh, did I say you're paying for that? I mean you water bill is going up 25%. Because reasons!" -The Government
22:44 Helenah; How come the focus turned 100% into the screen? :D
22:45 schestowitz[TR]; correction:
22:45 schestowitz[TR]; theiur standard desk has 32 screen
22:45 schestowitz[TR]; one frontal, side for the sides
22:45 Helenah; To be honest, what ran through my mind back then was "Why are you maintaining a plasma screen?"
22:45 schestowitz[TR]; *3
22:45 schestowitz[TR]; not 2
22:45 schestowitz[TR]; and not 32
22:45 schestowitz[TR]; actyuallt the lady on the lft does have 4
22:45 Helenah; Having to re-gas it after so many years...
22:45 schestowitz[TR]; so it varies a bit
22:46 schestowitz[TR]; also the lady on the right... use 4 screens
22:46 DaemonFC; I turned that into a facebook comment on the IRS.
22:46 DaemonFC; "I'm the government. Don't mind me. I'll just get in your bank account and take whatever I want because you can't stop me. Here, I'll go spend it on a "safe space" for heroin addicts to shoot up right in front of nurses you're paying for. Oh, did I say you're paying for that? I mean you water bill is going up 25%. Because reasons!" -How stuff gets done in Democrat cities.
22:46 DaemonFC; Why would anyone be surprised they run the federal government like a really big version of that?
22:46 schestowitz[TR]; if you look into the windows in amnc ity centre you see more officer spaces that are now dual-head stations
22:46 schestowitz[TR]; rarely triple
22:47 Helenah; Dou you even know what you're looking at though? lol
22:47 schestowitz[TR]; this noc uses relatively small screens
22:47 Helenah; *Do
22:47 schestowitz[TR]; they look like flatscreens from 20 years ago
22:47 Helenah; They are
22:47 schestowitz[TR]; maybe preowned
22:47 schestowitz[TR]; and repurposed
22:47 schestowitz[TR]; maybe for eye strain reduction
22:48 Helenah; So yeah a lot of equipment you see there is old.
22:48 schestowitz[TR]; this noc looks like old photo
22:48 schestowitz[TR]; maybe 2005
22:48 schestowitz[TR]; they have a special bunch of peripheralsm for call handling
22:48 schestowitz[TR]; and no privacy
22:48 Helenah; Nope
22:48 schestowitz[TR]; not even a cubicle
22:48 schestowitz[TR]; so it's not an enjoyable noc
22:48 schestowitz[TR]; just a streeess poioint
22:48 Helenah; 2013
22:48 schestowitz[TR]; and you hear colleagues on the phone
22:49 schestowitz[TR]; and the boss walks around, behind you, without you being able to know

22:49 schestowitz[TR]; if you are in the "front" row you get better view on the large screeen and slightly better privacy
22:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], ^
22:49 schestowitz[TR]; and less noise
22:49 schestowitz[TR]; in 2013 you could get 22-inch monitors for about 130 pounds
22:50 schestowitz[TR]; I got one for 110 off the display at dixons/pc world
22:50 schestowitz[TR]; it still works
22:50 schestowitz[TR]; it's the second screen of my main laptop
22:50 schestowitz[TR]; turning 12 next year
22:50 schestowitz[TR]; AOC
22:51 Helenah; So they claimed that the building was designed to be bomb proof but they won't know if it will survive a bomb because it has never been tested, only on a smaller scale...
22:51 DaemonFC; You know, $600, or as I've recently taken to calling it, twenty Biden dollars.
22:51 schestowitz[TR]; 2018 argos was selling hp 22-inchers for 79 pouncd apiece
22:51 schestowitz[TR]; you could get preowned ones for like 20 or 30 pounds
22:51 *AdmFubar has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

23:30 TR Bot; HIGHLIGHTS: Liverpool 9-0 Bournemouth | Record-breaking NINE goals at Anfield! - Invidious
23:30 DaemonFC; Well, how will they know what gender Matt's partner is without it?
23:32 schestowitz[TR]; the vampite slayer
23:32 schestowitz[TR]; *pire
23:32 *schestowitz[TR] works on new tuxmachines structure
23:33 schestowitz[TR]; turns out old archives alone are still about 3 hirs/sec, on average
23:33 schestowitz[TR]; drupal
23:33 schestowitz[TR]; can make that more efficient
23:33 starstreak; i like the jekyll static site generator
23:33 schestowitz[TR]; https://static1.makeuseofimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Use-workspaces-in-Linux-Mint.jpg
23:34 schestowitz[TR]; starstreak: we made our own
23:34 schestowitz[TR]; jekyll has nasty deps
23:34 schestowitz[TR]; and lacks features
23:34 schestowitz[TR]; if you hack on it
23:34 schestowitz[TR]; then you deviate away from upstream
23:34 DaemonFC; They want so much for cooking oil at the store these days.... On top of switching to the air fryer, I've conserved cooking spray by baking on parchment paper.
23:34 schestowitz[TR]; which may contain security patches
23:34 DaemonFC; The paper is cheaper and you can use it up to 400 degrees F, so it's usually an acceptable solution.
23:34 starstreak; yeah the deps weren't fun
23:35 starstreak; the output was nice tho
23:35 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: yes, cooking oil is expensive, eggs too
23:35 schestowitz[TR]; food supply chain breakdown it seems
23:35 schestowitz[TR]; too much demand remains for things they cannot provide/suppply
23:35 schestowitz[TR]; not just the war , the agra issues too
23:35 schestowitz[TR]; climate, heat waves, droughts
23:35 DaemonFC; They have to say don't use it at more than 400. Duh doy! Fahrenheit 451. The temperature at which Matt Gulag burns the truth.
23:35 schestowitz[TR]; there's fiece competiotion over food resources now
23:36 schestowitz[TR]; *fiercer than before
23:36 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: you can reuse oven heat
23:36 schestowitz[TR]; put more things in the oven
23:36 schestowitz[TR]; and gets smaller oven for small things
23:37 DaemonFC; It's ironic that Ray Bradbury was from Illinois, Waukegan actually.
23:37 schestowitz[TR]; now people start thinking about those sorts of things
23:37 DaemonFC; Fahrenheit 451 is what the Democrats are doing now.
23:37 schestowitz[TR]; as energy bills double
23:37 DaemonFC; To give the idea there are more than two genders, they have to first delete the concept of gender.
23:37 schestowitz[TR]; a friend of mine pays 250 a month, for two people, who work outside home
23:37 DaemonFC; And they do that by canceling books that point that out.
23:37 schestowitz[TR]; don't know how they use up that much power, maybe heating up the home
23:38 schestowitz[TR]; which has limited insulation, no doors in the living room area
23:38 DaemonFC; Mom averages about $155 a month.
23:38 schestowitz[TR]; some homes are built such that you need to heat up entire floors
23:38 schestowitz[TR]; just to keep one little area warm
23:38 DaemonFC; Her landlord said she "always" used over $250, which is why he "had to raise the rent".
23:38 schestowitz[TR]; for one person?
23:38 schestowitz[TR]; who works at the church?
23:39 schestowitz[TR]; outside home?
23:39 DaemonFC; I said, "Bullshit. Call the electric company. Ask them.". She goes, "I don't think you can do that.". I said, "Ask them for a 12 month average on that unit because you're thinking about signing a lease.".
23:39 DaemonFC; They told her.
23:39 schestowitz[TR]; she pays more than a couple and we're at home all the time
23:39 schestowitz[TR]; so her landlord isa liar. nice.
23:39 DaemonFC; It was about $100 a month less than what the landlord was saying.
23:40 DaemonFC; Oh he exaggerates about money all the time. I knew that already.
23:40 DaemonFC; If he does something that cost him a nickel on the apartment, that was four hundred bucks you know.
23:41 DaemonFC; He's so stupid that he caused an insane amount of water damage to my mom's apartment trying to unclog a shower upstairs.
23:41 schestowitz[TR]; she was better off tiffing with Felta in a hokme on mortgage
23:41 schestowitz[TR]; she would have even paid it off twice over by now
23:41 DaemonFC; The stuff works based on generating heat and pressure and pushing out the clog, right?
23:41 DaemonFC; And it said use a tablespoon and pour in a cup of hot water.
23:41 DaemonFC; So what do you think he did?
23:42 DaemonFC; He pours in the entire bottle, which had like 100 tablespoons, pours in the water.
23:42 DaemonFC; The drain pipe explodes, it's raining in mom's kitchen, water and caustic pipe chemicals.
23:42 DaemonFC; The guy is a fucking idiot, Roy.
23:42 schestowitz[TR]; he blew irt
23:42 schestowitz[TR]; literally
23:43 DaemonFC; Well, it's not clogged anymore.
23:43 DaemonFC; :)
23:43 TR News; first impressions gemini://cyi1341.smol.pub/random16
=> ↺ gemini://cyi1341.smol.pub/random16
23:44 schestowitz[TR]; it burst
23:44 DaemonFC; No clog.
23:44 schestowitz[TR]; he worked around the clog-=up
23:44 DaemonFC; You blew it up! You maniacs!
23:44 schestowitz[TR]; broke free of the piping
23:44 DaemonFC; You god damned maniacs blew it up!
23:44 schestowitz[TR]; next time he wants to build a bomb he knows what to use and where to buy it
23:45 DaemonFC; That stuff is seriously bad on pipes.
23:45 DaemonFC; I mean, even to use according to the directions, it can melt pipes.
23:45 schestowitz[TR]; usually very corrosive
23:45 schestowitz[TR]; you don't want to use an actual tablespoon with it
23:45 schestowitz[TR]; if you later use the spoon
23:45 schestowitz[TR]; metal or plastic pipes|?
23:46 DaemonFC; Like PEX.
23:46 schestowitz[TR]; today's homes are made more cheaply
23:46 schestowitz[TR]; just like today's electronics
23:46 DaemonFC; People pour it down the drain and then they have a bigger problem than paying a plumber to come unclog a pipe.
23:46 schestowitz[TR]; people expect everything "cheap"
23:46 schestowitz[TR]; even if it lasts just 3-5 years
23:47 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], There's a lot of cases where if you don't know what you're doing, leave it alone.
23:47 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: plungers before it's too late
23:47 DaemonFC; You'll only cause more damage and then you turn a $300 plumber call to like $4,000 worth of shit that needs to happen before you can use that bathroom again.
23:47 DaemonFC; Including replacing the floorboard and the drywall on the ceiling downstairs.
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; jnust pour icing down the pipe
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; and wash it off with milk
23:48 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], We have infamously bad plumbing in this apartment.
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; then he's full
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; and obese
23:48 DaemonFC; Ruben is out all the time unclogging it because it clogs too easily and fixing it right would be a major expense.
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; that's like trying to "fix" a CMS then
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; lots of work
23:49 DaemonFC; Like, at least once a month or so he's out here unclogging something because the building needs an overhaul, the landlord doesn't want to spend that kind of money.
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; and then comes a new "major" version
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; and the changes go down the drain
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; metaphorically
23:49 DaemonFC; So he pays Ruben $20 to come out and unclog everything so it works again for a couple months maybe.
23:50 DaemonFC; The bathroom fixtures need replaced.
23:50 DaemonFC; They got severely water damaged by a previous tenant.
23:50 DaemonFC; The entire area under the sink smells like mildew.
23:51 DaemonFC; Don't stick your head in. Don't store anything down there except maybe bathroom chemicals.
23:51 DaemonFC; The washers and dryers are either broken entirely or don't actually work until you've ran them several times.
23:51 DaemonFC; The washing machine down there is dancing around because someone's using it right now, actualy.
23:52 *psydroid2 has quit (connection closed)
23:52 DaemonFC; THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK CLUNKA CLUNK!THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK CLUNKA CLUNK! THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK CLUNKA CLUNK!
23:52 schestowitz[TR]; dancing with the stars
23:53 DaemonFC; Everyone uses the THUNKA CLUNK CLUNK one because that's the one that leaves your clothes sopping wet. The second one down randomly ruins something spitting out leftover bleach.
23:53 DaemonFC; The third one has been broken since before I lived here.
23:53 DaemonFC; The dryers have no heat and cost $3 every time you activate them.
23:54 DaemonFC; The guy down the hall's apartment smells like cat piss and that's air freshener for whatever the hell in god's name his neighbor is smoking every night.
23:54 DaemonFC; I think he's the reason I had to put flea collars on my cats.
23:55 DaemonFC; I think it will take a month or two before the flea problem dies down because by the time the cat's scratching, it's too late to prevent a major infestation.
23:56 DaemonFC; About all you can do is activate flea collars and put them on the cats and vacuum your apartment regularly.
23:56 schestowitz[TR]; could bw worse
23:56 DaemonFC; There's thousands of flea eggs by the time you even realize it's a problem. It can take months for them to hatch, and they go to bite the cat once, and then die if it was wearing a collar.
23:57 schestowitz[TR]; you could be in "bay area" ppaying $5000 a month for a showboix 'home'
23:57 schestowitz[TR]; and pay maybe $10 for a dyer's cycle
23:57 DaemonFC; Oh, I don't use his washing machines.
23:57 schestowitz[TR]; if you know how to handle clothes and garments like sheets and curtains you rarely need a dryer
23:58 schestowitz[TR]; even in winter, it just takes longer
23:58 DaemonFC; I have a spinner that I use instead of a dryer.
23:58 DaemonFC; It uses a centrifuge to spin the water out of clothes.
23:58 DaemonFC; It's like a salad spinner for clothes.
23:59 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Even if the rent does go up to what I'm thinking, I'd rather cheap out on the rent and get an apartment that's just not so great than pay double or triple the rent.
