00:00 TR Bot; Is anyone else having significant performance and stability issues using Firefox on OpenIndiana? What alternative browsers are there? : illumos
00:00 DaemonFC; Pale Moon and SeaMonkey apparently have packages for Hipster.
00:01 DaemonFC; []athenian200 2 points 3 years ago
00:01 DaemonFC; Yes, I ported Pale Moon to Solaris/illumos just recently because I was unhappy with modern Firefox. Also, I'm not a fan of Rust language, WebExtensions, removal of NPAPI plugins, etc. A lot of the older stuff is being lost while we get little of the benefit from newer technologies like WebRTC or Widevine DRM.
00:01 DaemonFC; However, you will have to compile it yourself for now. There may be binary tarballs eventually like they have for Linux, but it will never be distributed via OI's infrastructure because... well, the PM team had a disagreement with OpenBSD's developers a while back, and although I had nothing to do with that situation, my work has been rejected by OpenIndiana as a result.
00:01 DaemonFC; I wrote some instructions here on how to do that:

01:25 DaemonFC; (Note: I work for Red Hat)
01:25 DaemonFC; I'm constantly amazed that people still don't understand why Red Hat makes money, and this article won't enlighten you as it doesn't understand it as well as being full of other incidental mistakes (like their description of CentOS is way off the mark).
01:25 DaemonFC; Red Hat takes Linux and certifies it against all kinds of government, safety, privacy etc standardards, such as PCI and FIPS and numerous local ones. As a result if you are a government or many large companies you simply cannot download Linux and YOLO it. You are legally required to use the certified software so you take the path of least resistance and buy RHEL. That's it. It's why Red Hat makes piles of money, and Canonical or your SaaS does
01:26 DaemonFC; not. Understand what your big customers are required to have and provide it to them, even though it's boring and expensive to do.

01:28 DaemonFC; 3 years after the "Windows and RHEL-only" firmware.

01:28 DaemonFC; When he himself documented them doing it once already in 2013.

04:33 schestowitz; MinceR: correct me if I'm wrong
04:33 schestowitz; the abuse now mostly comes from VPNs, not Tor

04:35 DaemonFC; He thinks that you're illegally blackmailing Tor.
04:35 DaemonFC; By talking about how a "security" person whose "partner" did work for them is abusing the network.
04:36 DaemonFC; He doesn't seem to understand what blackmail is.
04:36 schestowitz; i just did a video about it
04:36 schestowitz; will do the text afterwards
04:36 schestowitz; i noted that]
04:36 DaemonFC; Blackmail is basically like "Give me this or I start airing dirty laundry!"
04:36 schestowitz; 1) the abuse mostly stopped
04:36 DaemonFC; And that's like, totally not what this is.
04:36 schestowitz; 2) more so after tor saw that the cops had become involved
04:37 DaemonFC; What can Tor really do about this (the project)?
04:37 schestowitz; i will shed more details maybe this year
04:37 DaemonFC; I mean they really have no mechanism to block a certain person from using it.
04:37 schestowitz; they can speak to gulag and co
04:37 schestowitz; and tell them to behave better
04:37 schestowitz; which i think they likely did
04:38 DaemonFC; I often browse with Tor (in Brave) just because.

04:51 schestowitz; to impede collaboration

05:26 schestowitz; not even sure why Lobsra Brandon quotes the above
05:26 schestowitz; I assume Brandon Lobsta supports genital mutilation
05:26 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; genital mutilation?
05:26 schestowitz; yes
05:26 schestowitz; FGM and all
05:26 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; why?
05:27 schestowitz; apparently there are some people who think cutting off a young girl's clit is "OK"
05:27 schestowitz; and that opposing FGM is intolerant
05:27 DaemonFC; Yeah, can't piss off the Islamists.
05:27 schestowitz; it's the "opposing barbarism" = "intolerant" BS
05:27 schestowitz; good luck to matt and isis in uganda
05:28 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; from what i can gather this person is a transwoman, Britney Lozza
05:28 schestowitz; thew person is a criminal
05:28 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; i won't partake in misgendering or deadnaming, as i never have, no matter how much i hated a person
05:28 schestowitz; working with others
05:28 DaemonFC; It's very progressive to support a religion that runs gay people over with the family car and cuts a girl's genitals. (Islam) For some reason, the left worships the Muslims and overlooks this barbarism.
05:28 schestowitz; to abuse people in irc
05:28 schestowitz; The real _Gobelin (Tim) banned him from IRC a decade ago
05:28 schestowitz; for abusing him
05:29 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; i do not know this person's views in the slightest, but if the views are simply that people should be allowed to be muslim, wear veils, and live in their country with islamic laws without getting bombed, then i agree with those
05:29 schestowitz; see nigeria
05:30 schestowitz; and how that worked out for northern nigeria
05:30 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; i think the genital mutilation of babies is horrible, regardless of the baby's assigned gender
05:30 DaemonFC; Richard Stallman proposed questioning immigrants to see whether they think people coming here should be free to believe in whatever they want or nothing at all.
05:30 schestowitz; nit anyway, that's not a tech issue
05:30 schestowitz; just a hrudge they drive in
05:30 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; i believe nigeria is one of those countries that has very extreme muslim laws
05:30 DaemonFC; But that only catches people who don't lie in their citizenship oath, like Matthew Garrett did.
05:30 schestowitz; the drive-byt troll did not quote a tech issue
05:30 schestowitz; they never do
05:30 DaemonFC; That he would support the Constitution.
05:30 DaemonFC; Including the Bill of Rights.
05:31 schestowitz; i did 4 videos on tech
05:31 schestowitz; now writing text for them
05:31 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; so i don't support it, but i also would never bomb or hurt them in any way, we just need to remain apart and be glad borders exist, since i know we don't want sharia law
05:31 DaemonFC; He calls for criminalizing speech and taking away the right to own guns.
05:31 schestowitz; i hope to record every day again
05:31 DaemonFC; So he doesn't really believe in the US Constitution.
05:31 schestowitz; been slowing down lately as we have visitors
05:31 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; DaemonFC: that is very bad, the first amendment is very important
05:31 DaemonFC; I mean maybe he agrees that the government shouldn't force you to quarter soldiers in your home and he thinks that's close enough.

05:32 TR Bot; Free Speech Rejected by Opponents of Free Software | Techrights
05:32 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; though in general i think the world has only seen bad results from americans with guns, the second amendment is an internal issue, one i should not meddle with
05:32 schestowitz; "YESTERDAY our long-timer (15 years!) Ryan Farmer wrote about Matthew Garrett [1], berating him for attacking the American First Amendment after he had become a naturalised US citizen. Mr. Farmer had accused him in IRC some days ago of moreover committing perjury by doing so. While we dont want to go into all the gory details (its a rather long post that cites Techrights IRC a lot), we thought it would be a suitable time to bring
05:32 schestowitz; up Free Speech and cite some examples from the past week.
05:32 schestowitz; "
05:32 schestowitz; CrystalMath: to be clear, ddos attacks are not free speech
05:32 schestowitz; CrystalMath: to be clear, doxing is not free speech
05:32 schestowitz; CrystalMath: to be clear, abusing women is not free speech
05:33 schestowitz; it conflicts with other laws
05:33 DaemonFC; Well, he did commit perjury. He lied about supporting the Consitution.
05:33 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; correct
05:33 schestowitz; that exist for good purpose
05:33 DaemonFC; Including at least the first two amendments to the bill of rights.
05:33 schestowitz; death threats may be "speech", but they are unlawful
05:33 schestowitz; and so on and so forth
05:33 schestowitz; then you have identity theft
05:33 schestowitz; also not free speech
05:33 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; and libel
05:33 schestowitz; and livel
05:33 schestowitz; yes, and libel
05:33 schestowitz; you beat me to it
05:33 schestowitz; was about to say
05:34 schestowitz; like intentionally making stuff up
05:34 schestowitz; and making up people
05:34 schestowitz; to make completely bogus accusations
05:34 DaemonFC; Every time you interact with USCIS you're under oath, especially the Citizenship Oath.
05:34 schestowitz; like me having some child
05:34 DaemonFC; So they could totally revoke his citizenship based on fraud for what he's said in here, if they wanted to.
05:34 schestowitz; brandon lobster cannot find a job
05:34 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; DaemonFC: Matthew Garrett is not a US citizen by birth?
05:34 schestowitz; no sane firm would hire insane, criminal person
05:35 DaemonFC; Nope.
05:35 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; strange
05:35 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; british?
05:35 DaemonFC; Country falling apart. They let that GirlsDoPorn guy in by flashing cash. Made him a citizen. Then he raped a bunch of women and committed bankruptcy fraud and fled the country and was extradited back here.
05:36 DaemonFC; They let all kinds of bad people in because they're white and have money.
05:36 DaemonFC; Then we get to deal with the insanity and criminality later.
05:36 DaemonFC; So I doubt they consider Matt GULAG lying under oath to be a big deal.
05:36 DaemonFC; Like, they let some real trash in here.
05:37 DaemonFC; White and money. That's all they want to know.
05:37 DaemonFC; Trump was getting close to making it official.
05:38 DaemonFC; Matthew Garrett could have still gotten in under Trump's reforms had he applied after, but it was meant to call brown people from poor countries "trash" and a "burden on the state" before they could even petition for anything.
05:38 DaemonFC; So Donald Trump was never a serious threat to people like Matt GULAG.
05:39 DaemonFC; The I-944 Declaration of Self-Sufficiency was designed to make sure they ONLY let in people like Matthew Garrett.
05:40 DaemonFC; Since Matthew Garrett never had anything to lose from Trump if he was re-elected, I doubt he ever cared if Trump did get re-elected.
05:40 DaemonFC; Hell, possibly even voted for him. Matthew Garrett is one of the most outspoken and disgusting homophobes I've ever seen in my life.
05:40 DaemonFC; And that includes my dad and a bunch of hicks living in trailer parks.
05:41 DaemonFC; Nothing stops you from having a college degree on the wall and being "white trash with money".
05:41 schestowitz; :/
05:42 schestowitz; imagine being white and eating trash and have no money

05:45 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; once the SASL stuff is fixed, i will just use NickServ to boot it
05:45 schestowitz; like vps?
05:46 CrystalMathsNewBNCServer; so basically, they're migrating the server, but this is some awkward moment when both the new and old server are running at the same time and unaware of each other

06:13 DaemonFC; That you can't even really patch if you want to if you use Linux.
06:14 DaemonFC; And if you use Windows, you risk bricking the computer or Windows if you try to apply the patch.

07:30 DaemonFC; Okay. I managed to get my console to give up its ROM and decryption keys.
07:30 DaemonFC; Now we just those into the program, which turned out to be on Flathub.
07:30 DaemonFC; LOL
07:31 DaemonFC; I've been into console emulation for a long time.
07:31 DaemonFC; I even still use Gens.
07:31 DaemonFC; Gens-GS, actually, but Gens.
07:32 DaemonFC; It was able to work on my old Windows 9x box because the person who wrote it wrote some really mean x86 assembler.

07:32 schestowitz; thanks, releasing some videos, will check your posty
07:32 TR Bot; Its Autumn Already! | Techrights
07:32 schestowitz; saw it quickly, loooked like a good toppic
07:33 DaemonFC; schestowitz, It needles Matt GULAG because it touches on why UEFI is crap some more.
07:34 schestowitz; it is
07:34 DaemonFC; And it goes into why UEFI and Windows collide and create a big mess for the user.
07:34 schestowitz; it might even be eradicated
07:34 schestowitz; and abolished
07:34 schestowitz; some companies saw no added value in it
07:34 DaemonFC; UEFI is bad on its own, but now Windows is flaking out because of bugs in it that Microsoft isn't even bothering to work around anymore.
07:36 schestowitz; yeah
07:37 schestowitz; "With UEFI, TPM Etc. Microsoft and Intel/AMD Trashed an Entire Generation of Computers, Made Security a Lot Worse to Curtail GNU/Linux and BSD Adoption"
07:37 schestowitz; might as well note he's not pushing pluton, tpm etc.
07:37 schestowitz; but barely codes
07:37 schestowitz; 5 commits in 12 months
07:37 schestowitz; he's trashing the pc industry
07:37 schestowitz; that's his "legacy"
07:37 schestowitz; dumpsta legacy
07:38 DaemonFC; I'm glad that at least one OEM is done with UEFI.
07:38 DaemonFC; At least directly.
07:38 DaemonFC; System76 appears to be able to boot Windows 10 and 11 because of a UEFI payload that is not actually in charge of the computer, running under Coreboot.
07:39 DaemonFC; And that's only if you turn it on.
07:39 schestowitz; "approached for a comment by CNN," according to a reports, " gulagpointer SHOUTED "transphobe!"
07:39 DaemonFC; So it's basically sort of a courtesy to the customers, like Apple did with Boot Camp.
07:39 schestowitz; opposing rust and microsoft boot is "terf"
07:40 schestowitz; DaemonFC: maybe libreboot next
07:40 DaemonFC; schestowitz, We have all kinds of neat things now that are either not an x86 PC or are an x86 PC but with the worst parts stripped out. (System76)
07:40 DaemonFC; So Microsoft is not "winning".
07:40 schestowitz; when microsoft is losing it keeps silent
07:40 DaemonFC; They may protect the "turf" of the OEMS that are suffering because of them, for as long as they can keep them in line.
07:40 schestowitz; so silence means "bad"
07:40 DaemonFC; The OEMs are laying off too.
07:40 schestowitz; see xbox
07:40 schestowitz; they stopped making noise about it
07:40 schestowitz; also, why market something that might die in months
07:41 schestowitz; they already shut down parts of xbox and laid off LOADS of xbox staff this year
07:41 DaemonFC; schestowitz, The Switch is basically an x86 PC with Nintendo firmware.
07:41 DaemonFC; So it's actually relatively easy to emulate on a laptop.
07:41 DaemonFC; The Switch's specifications are not real demanding because it's a portable system that runs on a battery.
07:47 DaemonFC; schestowitz, I'm done with this Lenovo crap.
07:47 DaemonFC; This is the last one. When it's done I'm not buying another one from them.

09:57 DaemonFC; Release date: June 26th 2023 (North America) / June 27th 2023 (Europe, Japan)
09:57 DaemonFC; Patch notes:
09:57 DaemonFC; No patch notes available. This update brings the following:
09:57 DaemonFC; updates the list of banned words
09:57 DaemonFC; LOL
09:58 schestowitz; what's the context?
09:58 DaemonFC; https://kotaku.com/nintendo-switch-banned-word-uvalde-sandy-hook-nazi-1850157108
09:58 TR Bot; Nintendo Switch Appears To Add Mass Shooters To Bad Word List
09:59 DaemonFC; Also added "groomers" in that one.
09:59 DaemonFC; "As previously reported, Nintendo maintains a bad word list to prohibit Switch users from making accounts that reference certain phrases that might be considered controversial or offensive. In 2020 the list was updated to add Nazi, Slave, KKK, ACAB, and Covid, among others. Throughout 2022 it grew to encompass more slurs, rude language, and various misspellings of Hitler. This past week, it was updated again.
09:59 DaemonFC; "
09:59 DaemonFC; "A significant amount of controversial people and organizations were added as well, like ISIS, Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook shooter), Alek Minassian (Toronto van attack perpetrator), etc, OatmealDome, who reviewed the update files, told Kotaku."
10:00 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Nintendo banned ISIS.
10:00 DaemonFC; I'm sure she'll be disappointed.
10:00 schestowitz; she can play zelda instead :-)

10:02 DaemonFC; It's rather large too.
10:02 DaemonFC; Just the BIOS now is over 350 MB.
10:04 schestowitz; huh?
10:05 schestowitz; the main issue with BIOS is partition >2tb support
10:05 schestowitz; and that is easily solvable
10:05 schestowitz; with a backward-compatible patch

21:21 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Apparently, the Nintendo Switch firmware is a combination of proprietary in-house low level OS with networking code from FreeBSD, the Nvidia driver for Linux, and bits of Android.
21:21 DaemonFC; They also have support for Nvidia's "NVN", Vulkan, and OpenGL.
21:21 DaemonFC; So some games work better in Yuzu than others.
21:23 DaemonFC; Yuzu itself is under the GNU GPLv3.
21:24 DaemonFC; It emulates the hardware of the Switch, but not the OS and no support for decrypting the games. So by itself it doesn't do anything.
21:24 DaemonFC; It also doesn't use any Nintendo code, so it's not possible for them to just have it taken down.

It's not a bad word." when he was describing her as "African American". I always hated the term "African American". Most black people in America have had nothing to do with Africa, the continent, in hundreds of years. Try calling yourself a White European American, and see
22:02 DaemonFC; what happens. The next thing people expect after this is "I'm a member of a club of like-minded White European Americans. Would you like to see my tattoos? Why yes I did get them in prison! How did you guess? This one is an iron cross. This one's a swastiska. This one over here is Thor's Hammer, of course."

22:03 DaemonFC; "How did I end up in this prison full of accomplished White Europeans? I was robbing a liquor store to buy meth! We have a proud heritage and I just think we should be more open about that!"
22:04 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^
22:05 DaemonFC; I have nothing to do with Europe. It is a garbage continent. Some of my ancestors came from there, hundreds of years ago. Of course some of my ancestors were just raped and forcibly converted to their religion.
22:05 DaemonFC; So there's that.
22:06 DaemonFC; I don't feel that I have enough Native American ancestry to cry at the side of the road when someone throws a plastic cup out of the window.
22:06 DaemonFC; Because none of them would let me join their tribe.
22:06 DaemonFC; It's like, a little of this, a bit of that. If it was all Cherokee or something, yes I could be in a tribe. But it's not.
22:08 DaemonFC; The whole idea that the Euro Trash had was to murder and rape enough of them that the remainder could never fight back again, then stick them on a few hundred acres of land the Whites didn't want anyway so they could say they did the Christian thing.
22:08 DaemonFC; And it worked!
22:09 DaemonFC; To this day, they're a defeated, broken people. They constantly have to reduce the qualifications to be a member so that their numbers don't collapse entirely.
22:09 DaemonFC; The federal government theoretically gives them healthcare and a stipend, but it's bad healthcare, and a few bucks to go drink themselves to death on a reservation.
22:10 DaemonFC; American citizens on an Indian Reservation are essentially above the law.
22:10 Noisytoot; "White European American" would be the equivalent of "Black African American" (and "European American" the equivalent of "African American")
22:10 DaemonFC; The feds don't prioritize the cases, the State has no jurisdiction, and the Indian Courts can't impose a sentence longer than a year.
22:10 Noisytoot; "<colour> <continent> American" is not "<continent> American"
22:11 Noisytoot; As for "Native American": https://stallman.org/antiglossary.html#native
22:11 TR Bot; Anti-Glossary
22:12 Noisytoot; "Indian" is even more inaccurate, as it's based on someone mistaking America for India
22:15 DaemonFC; Yeah, it unfortunately caught on.
22:16 DaemonFC; So like, the feds have a Census form that goes out every 10 years. It asks about race.
22:16 DaemonFC; And the terms include "American Indian" and "Negro" on the US Census form.
22:17 DaemonFC; So there's a lot of this stuff on government forms.
22:17 DaemonFC; Technically you have to reply to Census forms, but nobody has been prosecuted in about 50 years or so.
22:18 DaemonFC; There's this thing that they send out called the American Community Survey and it has dozens of questions on it, and you can get one in the mail at any time.
22:18 DaemonFC; And it asks all sorts of nosy questions like how long your commute to work is and all about members of your household.
22:19 DaemonFC; Basically, I would never fill one of those out.
22:19 DaemonFC; There's nothing in the Constitution that says the government has the right to demand arbitrary information from you whenever it wants to.
22:19 DaemonFC; It says once every 10 years, there's a Census to count the number of non-enslaved whole people.
22:20 DaemonFC; And basically what that means is that you don't count slaves as a whole person.
22:20 IPFS; () Planet Gemini updated. Latest complete date at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/2023-09-04.gmi and so far today at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/2023-09-05.gmi with 3-day aggregate at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/allinone.gmi
22:20 DaemonFC; At the time, they were counted as 3/5ths of a person and they couldn't vote.
22:20 DaemonFC; So what that did was it gave more representation to slave states, so their slavers had more voting power.
22:21 DaemonFC; But the northern states didn't want them to be counted as full people because then they would completely overpower the northern states, which were more heavily populated, especially not counting slaves in the south.
22:21 DaemonFC; So it was called the 3/5ths Compromise.
22:22 DaemonFC; Since the 14th Amendment bans slavery except for punishment for a crime, the issue is moot, but the enabling language for the Census says you only have to count people who are not enslaved as people.
22:22 DaemonFC; So there's an allowance, today, for not counting prisoners, the majority of whom are black, in the census.
22:22 DaemonFC; But they count them, as a whole person.
22:23 DaemonFC; But it still benefits white voters.
22:23 DaemonFC; Because every state but Illinois (and this only goes into effect in the 2030 census) counts the prisoners as living where the prison is.
22:23 DaemonFC; So it's called "prison gerrymandering".
22:24 DaemonFC; Because Indiana arrests a bunch of black people for dealing drugs and using drugs and stealing cars in Gary and Indianapolis, puts them in prison in Pendleton or Miami County, and then gives all their voting representation to white people in those counties, and then doesn't let the prisoners vote.
22:24 DaemonFC; Most states do this.
22:24 DaemonFC; So the Census is rigged to benefit white voters in rural counties.
22:25 Noisytoot; If one slave counted as 3/5ths of a person, would 2 slaves get 6/5ths of a vote?
22:25 DaemonFC; Because the police nab thousands of blacks, convict them of crimes, and count them as living in the prison, but don't let them vote.
22:25 DaemonFC; <Noisytoot> If one slave counted as 3/5ths of a person, would 2 slaves get 6/5ths of a vote?
22:25 DaemonFC; No amount of slaves could vote.
22:25 DaemonFC; They gave the state more electoral votes and more seats in Congress.
22:25 DaemonFC; So their slavers could put more people in the federal government.
22:27 DaemonFC; It's always been about taking black people and stripping them of voting power and giving it to wealthier, white people.
22:27 DaemonFC; THey just don't call it slavery anymore.
22:27 DaemonFC; They put them to work for 50 cents an hour or something in a prison.
22:27 DaemonFC; Working for Comcast or Verizon or something.
22:27 DaemonFC; Then they say it's punishment for a crime, and give their voting power to rural white people.
22:28 DaemonFC; The American economy still benefits greatly from black prison labor.
22:28 DaemonFC; So there's been no incentive for Corporate America to do anything about it.
22:29 DaemonFC; Instead, as a diversion, they put Codes of Conduct in software projects, rename streets, and say we have gender pronouns now.
22:29 DaemonFC; So they don't have to end slavery.
22:29 DaemonFC; There are over 1 million Americans now who are working as slaves. Don't even make federal minimum wage.
22:30 DaemonFC; T-Mobile doing those layoffs?
22:30 DaemonFC; They'll either outsource the call centers to the Philippines or have states bid for the work to give to prison labor.,
22:30 DaemonFC; When you called Comcast in the 2000s, you were giving your social security number to a prisoner.
22:30 DaemonFC; He might have been in there for skull fucking someone's grandmother, and now he works for Comcast.
22:30 DaemonFC; Lovely.
22:31 DaemonFC; Dealing with Social Security numbers.
22:52 psydruid; Something was mentioned here yesterday about the Red Hat model only working for Red Hat because of the lengths it went to in order to obtain government certifications
22:52 psydruid; I think there was a link to a thread on "Hacker News"
22:52 psydruid; Does anyone have it at hand?

23:04 DaemonFC; MinceR, The only part about that B5 filler episode that glossed over what happened to everyone that I liked was the one where Garibaldi (as a hologram) pwns the future Nazis.
23:06 DaemonFC; "You see, while you were busy downloading the New World Order into my head, I was wathing the system work. I know where it goes in and where it comes out. And I just broadcasted our whole conversation. Yep, sent 'em the whole damned thing. Now, according to your records they're actually a lot more humanitarian than you are so they'll probably just target your military installations. Say, this little lab of yours isn't by any chance, on a
23:06 DaemonFC; military base, is it?" Nazi: "You're lying!" *alarm starts going off* "Holograms don't lie, Danny boy. Their missiles are probably halfway here already." Nazi: "NOOOOO!!!!"
23:07 DaemonFC; The whole thing ends in a big flash.

23:21 DaemonFC; MinceR, The banned words on the Switch are basically everything Matt GULAG and Brandon LOBSTA have used as nicknames here.
23:21 DaemonFC; They also banned "ISIS".
23:24 DaemonFC; MinceR, There's this Chocolatey Package Manager thing for Windows.
23:24 DaemonFC; They finally get to pretend they have proper package management.
23:24 DaemonFC; Before something can be hosted in Choco, they send it to VirusTotal.

23:24 DaemonFC; Well, it's better than nothing I guess.
