00:00 XRevan86; psydruid: "Insel" is a cognate of "isle".
00:00 XRevan86; So naturally it has the "s".
00:00 matey; in Dutch we have "eiland" <- come in eiland, cause we swear that its grand, at this moment, we are all a fan
00:00 matey; thats twice this month, keyboard
00:00 psydruid; ultimately from Latin "insula"
00:00 XRevan86; "eiland" is a cognate of "island"/"iland", so it doesn't have the "s".
00:00 matey; keep it up and im buying your replacement
00:01 matey; at least this time the fucking keys are adjacent
00:01 psydruid; but where does the "land" thing come from?
00:01 matey; maybe i will switch to dorkvorak. anything is better than this.
00:01 XRevan86; matey: "defense" is also an attempt to simplify US English. I don't know what that actually simplifies.
00:01 matey; it simplifies it apple-style, by being arbitrarily different
00:02 matey; at least fence is a word. is fense?
00:02 psydruid; lol
00:02 XRevan86; "licence" (noun) and "defence" are older, "defense" is part of a prescriptive reform
00:02 MinceR; is defense related to fence?
00:02 XRevan86; MinceR: yes
00:02 matey; mincer: tbh i was guessing
00:03 matey; but its easier (dare i say simpler) when longer words are spelled like shorter ones
00:03 XRevan86; MinceR: But probably not how ye think :
00:03 XRevan86; MinceR: "fence" is a shortening from "defence".
00:03 matey; vs "defense" vs fence vs "offenz"
00:03 MinceR; :>
00:04 matey; english doesnt HAVE TO BE consistent because it borrows from fucking EVERYWHERE
00:04 MinceR; lol
00:04 matey; but its still nice if every single word doesnt march to the beat of its own drummer
00:04 XRevan86; The original intent was to remove all those -ce in favour of a more phonetic spelling. But only some words were ultimately adopted, and that only made a mess.

00:06 matey; yes, you really are better off learning the language from people who abuse it
00:06 matey; because thats 99% of the population

01:42 matey; "Rubin Braunstein[19] of the Radio Corporation of America reported on infrared emission from gallium arsenide (GaAs) and other semiconductor alloys in 1955."
01:43 matey; this is an orgy of corporate research: "After establishing the priority of their work based on engineering notebooks predating submissions from G.E. Labs, RCA Research Labs, IBM Research Labs, Bell Labs, and Lincoln Lab at MIT, the U.S. patent office issued the two inventors the patent for the GaAs infrared light-emitting diode (U.S. Patent US3293513), the first practical LED."
01:43 matey; was anyone NOT involved?
01:43 matey; "Immediately after filing the patent, Texas Instruments (TI) began a project to manufacture infrared diodes."
01:43 matey; crazy
01:44 matey; finally the british: "The first visible-spectrum (red) LED was demonstrated by J. W. Allen and R. J. Cherry in late 1961 at the SERL in Baldock, UK."
01:45 matey; they had high-brightness high-efficiency ones for fibre-optic communication by 1976
01:46 matey; but in 2022 you still cant get the fibre laid (more jokes on the way)
01:46 matey; good lord "Hewlett-Packard (HP) was engaged in research and development (R&D) on practical LEDs between 1962 and 1968, by a research team under Howard C. Borden, Gerald P. Pighini at HP Associates and HP Labs.[32] During this time HP collaborated with Monsanto Company on developing the first usable LED products."
01:46 matey; hp and monsanto!
01:47 matey; the invention of the led and its entrance into consumer products can remind me of only one thing

01:53 matey; they invented a better nixie tube
01:53 matey; they still cant make a printer that squirts ink that isnt a piece of shit
01:54 matey; Two years later, in 1993, high-brightness blue LEDs were demonstrated by Shuji Nakamura of Nichia Corporation using a gallium nitride growth process.
01:54 matey; mincer! i was ALMOST right!
01:54 matey; they didnt invent the led ones, only the brew ones
01:55 AdmFubar1; and they packaged then in 6, 12 and 24 packs
01:55 matey; but they work better when theyre cold
01:56 matey; thats by far one of the wildest articles ive ever read on wikipedia

13:37 bnchs; laptops that say they have "Lunix" installed
13:37 bnchs; or "f-dos" (freedos) installed
13:37 bnchs; have windows 10 installed instead
13:37 psydroid2; how does that happen?
13:37 bnchs; btw the windows is activated
13:38 bnchs; what i can think is that they're trying to inflate the price
13:38 bnchs; by adding the windows license along with it
13:38 psydroid2; so you are saying that even if they don't come with windows 10 on the drive, windows was installed and activated before
13:39 psydroid2; and then they removed it again and put "Lunix" of "f-dos" on it for show
13:39 psydroid2; or*
13:39 bnchs; no what im saying
13:39 bnchs; is that the laptops once came with GNU/Linux (lunix) or f-dos
13:39 bnchs; but they decided to install windows on it
13:40 bnchs; and forgot to change the specifications
13:40 psydroid2; I get it now
13:40 bnchs; like Dell laptops that once came with ubuntu
13:40 bnchs; now has windows 10
13:41 bnchs; and they put it up on the stand without changing the specs
13:41 matey; maybe they can do a talk at libreplanet

13:42 TR Bot; 6 Months After Vista 11s Official Release the Market Share of Windows Falls to 28% (All-Time Low) | Techrights
13:42 schestowitz-TR; I know someone who still uses Windows
13:42 bnchs; this is happening at carrefour markets
13:42 schestowitz-TR; and it's only in a VM
13:42 schestowitz-TR; his name is psydroid2 ^+^
13:42 bnchs; laptops branded with "Lunix" that has Windows instead
13:43 schestowitz-TR; bribes
13:43 psydroid2; and yes, this is something I have been saying for quite some time
13:43 matey; /me presumes that if someone has windows in a vm, its probably for research or work
13:43 psydroid2; as long as "Lunix" plays in the world of x86 OEMs, it will not be in the first place
13:43 matey; or games, but i dont think that applies here
13:44 bnchs; linux stands for Linux Is Not UniX
13:44 psydroid2; x86 OEMs are Microsoft Windows sell-outs to put it mildly
13:44 bnchs; lunix seems retarded
13:44 bnchs; but they spell it out like that
13:45 psydroid2; yeah, blame university for having to make sure your code compiles and works on Windows 10 with Visual Studio
13:46 psydroid2; I found out after I had written everything on Debian that something didn't compile, so I had to make some fixes for that
13:46 bnchs; lol
13:46 bnchs; MSVC is dumb shit
13:47 bnchs; i would there are markets that keep the OS preinstalled on the laptop
13:47 bnchs; would say*
13:47 bnchs; like Dell laptops with Ubuntu
13:49 matey; psydroid2 have you seen sdcc yet?
13:49 matey; i may have mentioned it already. its an optimising ("") ansi c compiler
13:49 matey; couldnt tell you how it compares to tinycc
13:50 matey; also ansi-c is probably... just a bit underpowered
13:51 matey; sdcc.sourceforge.net i think
13:51 psydroid2; matey, I know about it, but I haven't done anything with it so far
13:51 matey; fair enough, so long as you know it exists
13:51 psydroid2; x86 OEMs have an interest in keeping Windows installed
13:51 psydroid2; it directly impacts their sales volumes
13:52 matey; added negative value
13:52 matey; helps them sell crappier laptops
13:52 bnchs; i've seen the windows 11 laptops
13:52 bnchs; who puts the start button on the center
13:53 matey; /me wonders if there will be a windows 13, or if they will just skip that like a number of tall buildings do
13:53 matey; "floor 12, floor 14, floor 15"
13:53 matey; "floor 14 is still the 13th floor of course" "yes, but dont let on"
13:54 bnchs; they have teams unremovable
13:54 bnchs; something they did with IE back in w98
13:54 matey; <bnchs> they have teams unremovable <- its needed for the live desktop feature
13:54 matey; <bnchs> something they did with IE back in w98 <- beat me to it
13:55 bnchs; and they have a lock screen that looks like KDE
13:55 bnchs; it tricked me once
13:56 matey; i installed kde on windows once. maybe it really is the kde lock screen
13:56 matey; (in like 2009 or something)
13:56 psydroid2; newer Windows versions are all about buying more time to make their clown successful before Windows becomes irrelevant, which it already is despite its current (dwindling) marketshare
13:57 bnchs; i would have rather used the UEFI shell than windows
13:57 matey; shh, theyll put teams in uefi too
13:58 matey; and then after that send an mvp to pick the door locks and install windows while youre out buying groceries
13:58 bnchs; lol
13:59 bnchs; they dont need to pick locks
13:59 matey; "hi, it looks like youre trying to use your computer. can i help!"
13:59 bnchs; if the laptop runs windows
13:59 bnchs; they can just force an update and be done with it
13:59 bnchs; with it's hidden update feature that doesnt obey settings
13:59 matey; "i have windows 13 on my computer." "windows 13? have you tried removing the hard drive?"
14:00 psydroid2; I don't want UEFI on my machines
14:00 matey; "there is no hard drive. also its not plugged in. and ive removed the battery" "..."
14:00 psydroid2; I only "tolerate" it on my older machines
14:00 psydroid2; until they die some day and there will be none with UEFI left
14:00 matey; /me thinks that people still call it bios because "yoofee" sounds too stupid
14:01 psydroid2; all of those are laptops
14:01 matey; and who wants to spell it out?
14:01 bnchs; i use UEFI because.....
14:01 bnchs; i wanna use a gameboy emulator in UEFI?
14:01 matey; youfee, the new electronic customer payment system from gulag

16:43 matey; "there is no kernel other than linux, and gnu is one of its userspaces"
16:43 MinceR; luckily that is not true
16:44 matey; no, its not
16:44 matey; but at some point the fsf started acting like it is
16:44 matey; and the real quote is "there is no operating system other than gnu, and linux is one of its kernels"
16:44 MinceR; :>
16:45 matey; whats weird is that the fsf kind of shits on hurd, which i believe is (one person disputes this) more or less tied to x86
16:45 matey; but they shit on openbsd even more, which has a free kernel but supports a variety of architectures
16:46 matey; and they arsekiss linux, which is tied irrevocably to gpl2
16:46 psydruid; Linux is the one and only true kernel
16:47 matey; openbsd can be forked into a gpl3 kernel. linux cant.
16:47 matey; of course de raadt would really fucking hate it
16:48 matey; but the fsf would prefer to be stuck with gpl2 anyway
16:48 matey; its not like they dont have the choice
16:49 matey; the fsf is a family comprised of a number of weird marriages it cant seem to escape
16:49 matey; and gnu acts like its going to run away from home-- if it did, it would have no legal status
16:50 matey; fsf is like "we dont control gnu. we control everything about gnu EXCEPT the project, which is independent"
16:51 matey; so they ONLY control the hosting, trademark, copyright, infrastructure
16:51 matey; other than that its completely indepdendent
16:51 matey; like fedora under ibm
16:52 matey; ibm has no control over fedora at all, which is why when ibm bought red hat, nothing... changed...

19:28 DaemonFC; You can't fix the firmware on the Yoga 900 ISK2, so the only workaround is to not load the Intel-SPI driver in a kernel, or else your firmware settings will become read-only.

19:36 MinceR; but if i had, i would have probably based it on something that already existed
19:36 MinceR; immibis: no
19:37 immibis; MinceR: then, you don't know why people hate them and prefer unit files, do you?
19:37 DaemonFC; YOu don't give up, do you? What I said the other day is that workers and people seeking healthcare shouldn't be subjected to classist and racist things like the humiliation of undergoing unnecessary drug tests. The culture of humiliating the working class has gotten so out of hand in America that 98% of these drug tests are just a loss to the economy, but they continue doing them anyway.
19:37 MinceR; immibis: i don't care
19:37 immibis; MinceR: so maybe, shut yer gob and don't complain about people wanting to change things you know nothing about
19:37 bnchs__; the knowledge of how to write sysvinit is lost
19:38 bnchs__; sysvinit scripts*
19:38 DaemonFC; Even in "liberal" states. They do this. It's a ritualistic abuse of people they want to humiliate and keep in line.
19:38 bnchs__; they were all burnt by the systemd deadrat bitches
19:38 MinceR; immibis: i never asked anyone to change the OS i was running under me, so fuck off
19:38 immibis; well you kinda did when you didn't install linux from scratch
19:38 DaemonFC; There's no particularly good reason to make most people on probation do drug testing either except it's more people that the prosecutor will get another shot at.
19:39 MinceR; immibis: also, the rc scripts on the system i'm typing this on tend to be extremely simple and they work
19:39 MinceR; and they're not unit files.
19:39 DaemonFC; When you lock people out of the workforce for using marijuana, you make them more likely to engage in criminal activities that harm others.
19:40 bnchs__; how do you write sysvinit scripts
19:40 bnchs__; and how do you setup sysvinit in a GNU/Linux installation
19:40 DaemonFC; When they can't get an apartment or work at a store, they may decide to throw a brick through a store window and make off with what they can get in order to fence it, like what's happening in Chicago more often these days.

19:42 MinceR; btw, someone even wrote a tool to generate sysvinit rc scripts, though i don't think that's the best way to go about it
19:42 DaemonFC; The reason nothing changes is that I seriously doubt that anyone like GOOLAG has to pee in a cup to get a job, so as long as they just continue to harass people in the underclass who probably don't even vote anyway, nothing will change.
19:42 DaemonFC; Governor Fat Bastard here in Illinois won't go anywhere near the drug tests and reform those.
19:43 DaemonFC; The drug tests themselves are leading to crime. He says he wants to reform things so there will be less crime. Obviously not.

19:57 immibis; it doesn't matter what silly justification you use for oppressing people: it's still oppression. Secure Boot can be something that a lot of businesses want, but it's still Secure Boot
19:58 DaemonFC; Well, for a normal apartment they run a background check and a credit rating check, and for subsidized apartments there's a 2 year wait list and then they freeze the list so they don't have to admit it really takes about 6-8 years to get one.
19:58 immibis; you can say that secure boot protects property rights. doesn't matter. it's still bad
19:58 DaemonFC; And THEN for subsidized apartments, they ALSO drug test you and if you fail, you can never get one again.
19:58 immibis; you can say that some people deserve to be homeless because they do drugs. Doesn't matter. It's still bad that people can't have apartments.
