02:05 MinceR; urxvt is probably the slowest terminal emulator i've ever used
02:06 matey; yeah i like the lack of antialiasing, but thats a legitimate thing to want
02:06 MinceR; it was a pain to use on a rpi1
02:06 activelow; reason i switched from xterm to rxvt: xterm does NOT support legacy BSD/Unix pty handling anymore, rxvt does

02:06 TR Bot; EasyOS 3.4.5 | Tux Machines
02:06 matey; i mean antitalising is nice sometimes
02:06 matey; xterm does NOT support legacy BSD/Unix pty handling anymore, rxvt does <- i dont know what this means, i use xterm in bsd
02:07 matey; presumably i dont use "legacy bsd pty handling" though
02:07 matey; pty has something to do with tty, but youd have to explain it
02:07 activelow; good question, linux kernel offers legacy pty option (which i consider as some minor security benefit), and too i disabled the modern pty handling
02:07 MinceR; pty is pseudoteletype, tty is teletype
02:07 MinceR; iirc
02:07 matey; linux kernel offers legacy pty optio <- well there you go, i wouldnt benefit from that because im not using that kernel :)

02:07 matey; <MinceR> pty is pseudoteletype, tty is teletype <- cheers mincer
02:08 activelow; this required patches, for example, to tmux; and some other terminals which require a pty can be configured... xterm didn't support legacy pty ($ man pty; on linux) anymore
02:08 matey; /me wonders if the xterm in openbsd actually has the support

02:08 matey; at any rate i dont know how to make use of that feature
02:09 activelow; matey: openbsd pty handling is different (wscons iirc), and this requires separate code paths in rxvt/xterm/tmux etc. anyway
02:09 matey; still, ive never argued for there to be only one term. i literally installed rxvt this week
02:09 matey; for reasons (im sure i wont use it)
02:09 activelow; and wscons is different to the original legacy bsd/unix pty
02:09 matey; my guess is if anyone uses it, openbsd supports it (unless its a vector or vulnerability)
02:10 TR News; AlmaLinux = Microsoft booster. Use RockyLinux instead. Skip AlmaLinux. They boost ATTACKS on GNU/Linux, e.g. Azure and WSL. Those are NOT pro-GNU/Linux but deliberate attacks on us all. AlmaLinux is opportunistic like Novell.
02:10 activelow; anyway, rxvt on fbdev/xorg is the _fastes_ terminal i worked with
02:10 TR News; "Microsoft loves Linux" =~ "Putin loves Ukraine"
02:10 matey; have you tried spitting out 50000 lines on it next to xterm?

02:11 matey; <DaemonFC> Comcast has cut customer support to the bone. <- theyre somewhere between sirius cybernetics corp and nazi germany probably
02:12 matey; in terms of customer service
02:13 activelow; the tek4014 emulation is interesting, or vt340 with bitmap graphics, which rxvt doesn't have
02:13 matey; the tek4014 emulation is interesting <- it would be. mines only compiled with these fucking "sixels" but i dont have a test for that yet
02:13 activelow; although i would prefer such a terminal emulator on raw framebuffer console, outside/without x11
02:13 matey; low priority
02:14 matey; although i would prefer such a terminal emulator on raw framebuffer console <- yeah, i miss the framebuffer
02:14 matey; netbsd seems to do more for it than openbsd, though i wouldnt say its worth using netbsd to have this
02:14 activelow; don't think so, serial line termination with bitmap graphics (for scientific plots), would be awesome, there isn't any really 100% free and opensource one - including hardware i mean
02:14 activelow; maybe the gigagtron ttl is a platform for this...

03:36 matey; /me assumes good reason, but doesnt know what it is
03:36 matey; whats wrong with accepting dogecoin
03:37 schestowitz-TR; do you know what it is?
03:37 schestowitz-TR; me neither
03:37 matey; i mean i know what dogecoin is
03:37 schestowitz-TR; that answers the question, methinks
03:37 schestowitz-TR; you can convert your USD to roycoins
03:37 matey; but no details that would allow me to figure out why its such a big deal
03:37 schestowitz-TR; I can give you a good exchange rate
03:37 matey; but again, whats the problem with accepting roycoins
03:37 matey; did they stop accepting other currencies
03:37 schestowitz-TR; what are they backed by?
03:38 matey; no i know
03:38 matey; but again...
03:38 schestowitz-TR; they legitimise a scam
03:38 matey; okay
03:38 schestowitz-TR; and then later some users will think
03:38 schestowitz-TR; "oh, even mozilla accepts it"
03:38 matey; hmm
03:38 schestowitz-TR; so they join the MLM/pyramid scheme
03:38 schestowitz-TR; then the money gets "lost"
03:38 schestowitz-TR; "stolen"
03:38 schestowitz-TR; "where's my coin???"
03:38 schestowitz-TR; and then say
03:38 matey; seems like a curious thing for people to be up in arms about
03:38 schestowitz-TR; "mozilla, WTF??"
03:38 matey; but not completely i guess
03:39 matey; /me only uses madoffcoin
03:39 matey; seems legit
03:39 schestowitz-TR; the coincranks used this mozilla announcment/tweet
03:39 schestowitz-TR; to prop up the scam, shoring up perceived value
03:39 schestowitz-TR; and this is what keeps it going
03:39 schestowitz-TR; more people entering
03:39 schestowitz-TR; like MLM
03:39 schestowitz-TR; it will grow
03:39 matey; i didnt know dogecoin was so hated
03:39 schestowitz-TR; as long as more people join
03:39 schestowitz-TR; at the end it implodes
03:39 matey; i thought it was just another silly cryptocurrency
03:40 schestowitz-TR; as nobody else still falls for the FOMO effect
03:40 schestowitz-TR; only the ones who started the scheme cash in
03:40 schestowitz-TR; those who suffer the most are the last FOMOs
03:40 matey; the thing is, i think all money is a scam
03:40 schestowitz-TR; yes
03:40 schestowitz-TR; but some is riskier
03:40 matey; but theres scams, and then theres scams-on-scams-on-scams
03:40 schestowitz-TR; like dogeshitcoin
03:40 matey; right
03:41 matey; undisputed
03:41 schestowitz-TR; they use mozilla
03:41 matey; mozilla is also a scam
03:41 schestowitz-TR; to get people to add another layer to this pyramid
03:41 matey; which is written in rust, which is a scam
03:41 schestowitz-TR; and line the pockets of the founder/s
03:41 schestowitz-TR; like mt gox
03:41 matey; and mozilla and apache were the flagships of open source
03:41 matey; which is also a scam
03:42 matey; so mozilla is a scam written in a scam as part of a scam, peddling a scam
03:42 schestowitz-TR; but mozilla's founder had another take
03:42 schestowitz-TR; he focused on environmental impact
03:42 schestowitz-TR; so I assume dogeshitcoin also involves "mining"
03:42 schestowitz-TR; burning energy just for the sake of it
03:42 matey; its like the guy in tropic thunder

06:41 activelow; they really feared, some liberal political parties, such as AfD and similar;
06:41 matey; kingoffrance can translate
06:41 matey; you and afd, i dont know
06:42 activelow; certainly not, nonetheless it is the only political party in this apparatus i am willing to listen to
06:42 matey; i never trust a party where everyone has identical haircuts
06:42 matey; that disqualifies republicans and afd right off the bat
06:45 activelow; yesterday, some live interview from the ISS, there they joined for lunch, music and fun in the russian capsule, they said
06:48 activelow; anyway, this sunday, french presidential elections, and soon the largest federal state in germany, NRW, federal elections there 15th May
06:49 activelow; in parallel to, the foreign policy, which "Alliance90/greens" peace angels eco feminist activist gang now phrases as "strengthen right to self-defense", with weapons deliveries
06:49 kingoffrance; www.dict.org has a public domain moby thesaurus. it tends to have lots of weird things with no explanation how they made a "connection" so i like that i guess lol
06:49 kingoffrance; they went for thoroughness lol
06:49 matey; it tends to have lots of weird things with no explanation how they made a "connection" <- sounds like me
06:50 matey; i can usually explain the connection, but that takes the fun out of it a lot of the time
06:50 kingoffrance; there's some moby pronunciator public domain too IIRC
06:51 matey; it would be a shame if they only had a thesaurus, and not a dictionary
06:51 matey; because "moby"
06:52 kingoffrance; yeah, jargon file has it as a unit IIRC
06:53 kingoffrance; im unaware of any connection, except people use it that way i guess lol

12:24 TR Bot; Why cant you move the taskbar on Windows 11? (Reddit Ask Me Anything) BaronHK's Rants
12:25 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, "Reddit and Social media has been trending in the direction of bought and paid for SPAM and shitposting for years.
12:25 DaemonFC; Its now to the point where theres precious little reason to use Reddit.
12:25 DaemonFC; I cant remember the last time I read /r/Linux. They are Microsoft trolls who banned me after my post reached tens of thousands of likes during a skirmish with Lenovo that I eventually won after taking it to the Illinois Attorney Generals office and winning a settlement involving offering a patched BIOS that allowed GNU/Linux to be installed on the Yoga 900-ISK2.
12:25 DaemonFC; The Baron Harkonnen (Dune miniseries incarnation) said it best, perhaps:
12:25 DaemonFC; Dont get more popular than the boss, unless you intend to sack him. Oh my, did I say that? How impolitic of me!"
12:26 schestowitz-TR; haha
12:27 schestowitz-TR; at work I don't feel so boss
12:27 schestowitz-TR; sometimes I lecture the boss or stick it to them
12:27 schestowitz-TR; they can do nothing
12:27 schestowitz-TR; because they need me
12:28 schestowitz-TR; and they know not to give me grief (anymore)
12:28 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, One of the supervisors at Walmart cornered my spouse.
12:28 schestowitz-TR; you told me
12:28 schestowitz-TR; I think
12:28 DaemonFC; And he actually stood up for himself and went to that guy's boss.
12:28 DaemonFC; This happened the other day.
12:29 DaemonFC; So the big boss comes down and yells at the supervisor and tells him not to do that again because Mandy had finished all of his own work and gone to help in a different department.
12:29 schestowitz-TR; yes, that is the thing to do
12:29 schestowitz-TR; go to the boss
12:29 schestowitz-TR; because they do
12:29 schestowitz-TR; and control the narrative
12:29 DaemonFC; He said, "It's bad enough we have to fire so many people because they stand around doing nothing and skipping all of the hard jobs. You don't yell at someone for finishing their work and finding something else important to do.".
12:30 DaemonFC; So then the supervisor found him and apologized.
12:30 schestowitz-TR; good
12:30 schestowitz-TR; managers know how not to apologise
12:30 DaemonFC; I have no idea why you would yell at someone for straightening up your department during the last hour of their shift and it's not even coming out of your payroll!
12:30 schestowitz-TR; at best they hide
12:30 schestowitz-TR; to save face
12:30 schestowitz-TR; or speak through someone else
12:31 DaemonFC; Oh I know, and when they don't have the balls to complain about you and admit that they're the ones that have an issue, here's what they say.
12:31 DaemonFC; "Someone came in to talk to us about you anonymously."
12:32 DaemonFC; One day since I was being written up anyway for it, I said, "Is that so? Pretty spineless of them.".
12:32 schestowitz-TR; there's this misconception that only arsehole-ish people can manage
12:33 schestowitz-TR; they drive companies into the ground
12:33 schestowitz-TR; or cheat
12:33 schestowitz-TR; lie
12:33 schestowitz-TR; bribe
12:33 DaemonFC; Then someone keyed up a car I was test driving in the parking lot.
12:33 schestowitz-TR; commit fraud
12:33 schestowitz-TR; to compensate for their terrible leadership
12:33 DaemonFC; The guy at Bart's Car Store wasn't happy about it.
12:33 DaemonFC; When I went to leave, he got in another car and blocked off the entrance to their lot and then got out and stared me down.
12:34 DaemonFC; So I was in my car and I decided to just drive it through their lawn to get to the road.

12:35 schestowitz-TR; so you respond, "good"
12:36 schestowitz-TR; "now you know ... [something very offensive]"
12:36 schestowitz-TR; e.g. now you know where to send your mama
12:36 DaemonFC; Come beat my door down. The EMS has plenty of ambulances and stretchers.
12:36 schestowitz-TR; and add some sexual thing
12:36 DaemonFC; Be sure to write your blood type somewhere.
12:37 schestowitz-TR; "so end your mama here, tell her to bring a condom"
12:37 DaemonFC; I like red states because of that.
12:37 DaemonFC; If someone comes to beat down your door, just shoot the fucker.
12:38 DaemonFC; If someone is vandalizing your car, shoot the fucker.
12:38 DaemonFC; If someone is sawing off your catalytic converter, shoot the fucker.
12:38 DaemonFC; If someone crawls in your window to rape you, shoot the would-be fucker.
12:39 DaemonFC; If you wait for the police, he has time to finish up and have a cigarette and be gone for an hour before they arrive, and you live across the street from the police station.
12:40 schestowitz; "Linux might be possible, but its complicated, and one person whos tried booting Ubuntu Arm64 image on Acer Aspire 1 laptop got into a boot loop. The similar Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 SoC is designed for Chromebooks, so Chromium OS might be another option for the ones who like a challenge."
12:40 schestowitz; Why does CNX cover this, psydruid ^^
12:40 schestowitz; url above
12:40 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: your reflexive reaction
12:40 schestowitz-TR; maybe due to childhood PTSD
12:41 DaemonFC; It's the one that stops them permanently and makes them never hurt anyone again.
12:41 schestowitz-TR; yeah
12:41 schestowitz-TR; I met people like this
12:41 DaemonFC; Remember the B5 episode with June Lockhart?
12:41 schestowitz-TR; bullied as a kid, promised to never allow this to ever happen again
12:41 schestowitz-TR; (as adults)
12:41 DaemonFC; She has that Capital Punishment machine that drains a victim's life energy and heals another person with it.
12:41 DaemonFC; A criminal makes her use it to heal him after the cops shoot him.
12:42 DaemonFC; And she turns it in reverse and dials it up and uses it to heal herself of old age diseases at the cost of his life.
12:42 TR News; Jean-Luc Aufranc (CNXSoft) peddling Microsoft trash again. I thought he had stopped. I was wrong. http://techrights.org/2022/02/17/cnxsoftware-partly-compromised/
12:42 TR Bot; The C in CNX Software is Not Community | Techrights
12:42 DaemonFC; And she says, "That terrible pain you're feeling now is the disease I've had for years. I was dying, but you'll never hurt anyone again. Do you hear me, you monster? You'll never hurt anybody again!".
12:42 DaemonFC; So that's the right attitude.
12:44 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, If more people shot their attacker, by definition there'd be less crime later on.
12:44 DaemonFC; Nobody there to do it again as soon as the judge gave them some joke of a sentence because he's a Democrat.
12:44 DaemonFC; They don't even behave well enough to be trusted to bond out, and now the state is getting rid of cash bail.
12:44 DaemonFC; People get their "notice to disappear" from the court.
12:45 DaemonFC; And they bail on their court date, ne'er to be seen again.
12:45 DaemonFC; Especially the illegals that know how to do that anyway.
12:46 DaemonFC; There ought to be a law that says if they're trying to kill, mug, or rape you, and they're alive when they hit the ground, you get two more shots to finish them off without it being a crime.
12:47 DaemonFC; Should we have to depend on frontier justice? No. There's thousands and thousands of cops there just doing nothing at all, writing speeding tickets while you're being raped.
12:47 DaemonFC; So we NEED frontier justice.
12:48 psydruid; I have no idea
12:49 psydruid; probably some kickbacks are involved here
12:50 psydruid; because Vista on ARM is DOA
12:50 DaemonFC; 1. The risk of being shot to death committing a crime is more of a deterrent than some Democrat judge giving a rapist a month on house arrest.
12:50 DaemonFC; 2. It ensures no further criminal acts from that person if they do it anyway.
12:50 DaemonFC; 3. It's fundamentally fair. They meant to do serious harm to you. You got them before they could.
12:51 DaemonFC; Windows itself can be ported to lots of things, by Microsoft.
12:51 DaemonFC; But they can't make app developers pay it any attention.
12:52 DaemonFC; And they themselves have no right to recompile it, so limping around on some shitty emulator isn't fun either.
12:52 DaemonFC; So the devices don't sell and they take a write-off, and nobody wants them because you can't disable "Secure Boot" and run Linux.
12:53 DaemonFC; Apple moving to the M1 is a huge downside for their customers.

13:50 DaemonFC; Ehh, $43,011.71.

13:50 DaemonFC; Adjusted for inflation.
13:50 schestowitz-TR; cumulative interest
13:51 schestowitz-TR; 103%... 120 percent in 5 years
13:51 schestowitz-TR; 15 years later it can almost double

14:04 DaemonFC; They're probably ripping off Android customers too with the same patents.
14:04 DaemonFC; For the most part, if the iPhone does something, Android does it too, and more.
14:05 DaemonFC; So the patents that threaten Apple useds threaten Android phones. But since Androids sell for less, the patents are a bigger part of the costs. So they're a barrier to affordability.
14:06 DaemonFC; If you're trying to sell a $150 Motorola G, $5 per phone for Ericsson is a lot more of a nuisance than it is for Apple.
14:06 DaemonFC; Because Apple is selling $1,500 phones and none of their customers are even going to notice.
14:07 DaemonFC; Apple isn't fighting to save their customers money, they're fighting to pad their bottom line.
14:07 DaemonFC; They gave up caring about marketshare as much as seeing what the upper limit on price for people who would never buy an Android because they're a snob.
14:08 DaemonFC; So Apple prices go up due to price discovery. They haven't found one that's too painful yet, so they keep going.

14:10 DaemonFC; Apple's pricing strategy is based on the price inelasticity of demand at this point. They've shucked most of the users who care what the phone costs.
14:10 DaemonFC; And now it's all about fleecing the ones who are left.
14:11 DaemonFC; You're going to get robbed if you own an iPhone and Apple knows it, and the people buying it know it too on some level. Carriers play subsidy games to make it look like it's not such a burden.
14:12 DaemonFC; The truth is they're not very good phones and they cost Apple between $250-400 to make.
14:13 DaemonFC; Android phones tend to sell for between 40% and double what they cost to produce. Apple's tend to sell for 2.5 to nearly 4x
14:13 DaemonFC; 40% more
14:13 DaemonFC; The margins are very padded on iPhones.

16:13 rasputinaB; making sure no corporate info is leaked

16:13 bnchs; if i were you, as long as they did their work, i wouldn't give a shit
16:14 matey; <rasputinaB> making sure no corporate info is leaked <- maybe installing malware isnt the best road to data security
16:14 matey; <rasputinaB> its for their own good actually <- they always say this
16:14 bnchs; "oh you're not moving your mouse"
16:14 bnchs; "YOU'RE NOT WORKING"

16:17 matey; "go ahead, press 'enter' motherfucker"

16:18 matey; can you tell me why they should leak corporate data <- to be fair, corporate espionage IS a thing
16:18 bnchs; maybe shit salary
16:19 rasputinaB; its just a tool
16:19 matey; maybe shit salary <- maybe stephen elop sent them
16:19 matey; <rasputinaB> its just a tool <- so is a gun

16:19 bnchs; rasputinaB, there is no way to prevent data exfiltration

16:20 rasputinaB; guns don't kill people people kill people

16:20 matey; i cant throw a gun very hard
16:21 matey; maybe i could hit a pigeon if its lighted
16:21 rasputinaB; besides this isnt a gun we aer talking about
16:21 matey; a gun is just a tool
16:21 matey; guns have done a lot for security
16:23 rasputinaB; im sure there are lots of such tools but they use closed source and xost lots of money
16:23 matey; guns are effective for removing remote access tools
16:24 bnchs; rasputinaB, borat is closed source
16:24 matey; if you shoot your smartphone the rat will almost certainly die with it
16:24 bnchs; also windows-exclusive, like always
16:24 bnchs; best way is to tell your employees to use their own computer
16:24 rasputinaB; shut up with this gun talk
16:24 matey; you started it
16:24 bnchs; rasputinaB, what about the employees with their own computer
16:25 bnchs; if you infect their computer with your malware, then it's unethical
16:26 rasputinaB; it might be harder to get the thing running cause they usually take it home

16:40 rasputinaB; you could actually disconnect the computer before the press of the send button
16:40 rasputinaB; and take a mugshoot
16:40 matey; you could put the data on usb, and then put the usb in a can of shaving cream
16:40 kingoffrance; i dont know, one place i worked the boss wanted to set up mp3/music server of some kind. i do not "judge" that just think there are many parallels there
16:41 kingoffrance; how is the RIAA/etc. doing with this problem of data exfiltration?
16:41 bnchs; rasputinaB, the dumping is done on a seperate computer

16:41 rasputinaB; you dont disable usb on the corp computers?

16:41 matey; with music in the workplace, they rely on people reporting it (similar to the bsa)

16:43 bnchs; turn off the computer
16:43 bnchs; unplug it

21:37 DaemonFC; I worked on one of my posts a bit.
21:37 DaemonFC; "Everyone knows their brand is toxic and thats why theyve had no success outside of Windows and Office in the consumer market, and why Windows is dying. Apple, of course, never needed Microsoft for anything on the iPod, and the iPod did include MP3 support, and although Apple never did comment on it, they did have a competitor on the iPod. It was called pirated music.
21:37 DaemonFC; I once saw a breakdown of iPods sold vs. music sales on iTunes, and it boiled down to 26 songs per iPod sold. Someone was pirating music, and pretty much all pirated music is in MP3, and it was probably outperforming iTunes by at least 25:1 on the iPod."
21:38 DaemonFC; The iPods with miniature hard drives actually did store a lot. When they switched to flash memory it felt like a huge downgrade.
21:42 DaemonFC; "And incompatibility with Microsoft wasn't just about not supporting WMA. Pretty much all WMA stores used a different form of DRM enslavement than Apple products, and so Apple would have had to license that too. The various WMA stores didn't even interoperate because Microsoft made a mess out of their own DRM prison schemes and people found out quickly that there was no way to easily "just play WMA" on all their devices, and that's why WMA
21:42 DaemonFC; never really became a thing. If it was just a matter of codec support, lots of things play WMA files, including GNU/Linux media players, Rockbox, and most factory firmwares, but 99% of the WMA files sold by Microsoft partners don't work anymore and never will again due to DRM. Thurrott has always been obtuse and dishonest."

21:44 DaemonFC; "Frankly, the taskbar and Web browser issues on Vista 11 only serve to remind people that in all ways big and small, Windows just gets in your way whether it's due to being poorly designed or just doing what Microsoft told it to do."

21:48 DaemonFC; rasputinaB95, Microsoft is running lots of ads on the television now about how Windows 11 is compatible with Linux and Android applications, so it is important. They never say Linux and Android in the commercials.
21:48 DaemonFC; But I saw a few on TV the other day, and they showed applications running in WSL and the Android Runtime more often than native Windows apps.
21:49 rasputinaB95; i dont give a rats ass
21:49 DaemonFC; And this is pretty much an admission they've failed. Compatibility layers are a sign that your OS is on the way up or on the way down, and if it's on the way up you need compatibility with other systems that have a lot of apps, and that's where Wine came in.
21:49 DaemonFC; If it's on the way down, you get the Linux Kernel Personality from SCO or FreeBSD, and WSL from Microsoft.
21:51 rasputinaB95; i was 1 of the 1st person to run windows 10
21:51 rasputinaB95; i dont think ill ever run windows11
21:51 rasputinaB95; might as well install KDE
21:51 rasputinaB95; if i need a taste of windows 11

21:54 MinceR; wow, MICROS~1 marketing is even more inept than ibm/deadrat's
21:55 MinceR; ibm/deadrat said the gnome UI being an inflexible, unconfigurable turd was because of "muh branding"
21:55 MinceR; MICROS~1 just tries and fails to change the subject
21:57 DaemonFC; MinceR, They muhdicked their users.
21:58 bnchs; why can't you move the taskbar on windows 11
21:58 bnchs; microsoft defenders:
21:58 MinceR; :>
21:58 bnchs; because well
21:58 bnchs; well
21:58 bnchs; i-uhhhhh
21:59 DaemonFC; At least GNOME SHell 42 works and performs better than the Windows 11 shell, with fewer bugs, and no ads.
21:59 DaemonFC; That's an improvement.
21:59 DaemonFC; And you can see the source code and offer them patches, you can't give up and even try to fix something yourself with Windows.
22:00 DaemonFC; And the consistency has generally resulted in a lower bug count than KDE.
22:00 DaemonFC; If you mix and match components together which were not tested that way by upstream, then they may work, they may crash, and if they do work, they may have unexpected weird things going on because no developer ran them on his own computer in that way.
22:00 rasputinaB95; whats the meme about number 42?
22:01 DaemonFC; But KDE is a lot better lately than it used to be.
22:01 bnchs; gnome shell works and performs better than windows 11
22:01 bnchs; that says ALOT
22:01 bnchs; even something thats so shit like gnome
22:01 bnchs; works and performs better than windows 11 shell
22:01 DaemonFC; In Fedora 36 it's almost as back to being as trouble-free as it was when I used it regularly in the late 3.5 cycle or again late in the 4.x cycle.
22:02 DaemonFC; Qt keeps ruining things, and KDE keeps adjusting to the new toolkit, and you end up with the same kind of trouble over and over because they won't stick to a proven design.
22:02 rasputinaB95; maybe trinity is stable now
22:02 DaemonFC; Trinity is maintained by a team of international developers called Tim Pearson.
22:03 MinceR; still better than KDE and gnome
22:04 rasputinaB95; Trinity IS KDE
22:05 kingoffrance; 42 was hitchhikers guide and a "religious" thing

22:21 bnchs; lol
22:21 bnchs; in the past, we had audio CDs with lossless quality
22:21 bnchs; nowadays, we have spotify, which is "free" lossy low-quality songs with DRM
22:23 DaemonFC; I'm STILL in the process of ripping my CDs to 128k Opus.
22:23 *wallacer has quit (Quit: wallace dozed off)
22:23 DaemonFC; I waited to do it until the activity in the Opus codec development slowed way down.
22:24 DaemonFC; You get a better product that way because it gets revised and it's like the early MP3 encoders vs where LAME ended up. Just a huge improvement.
22:24 bnchs; "128k Opus"
22:24 bnchs; rip to FLAC
22:24 bnchs; you'll be thankful in the future
22:24 DaemonFC; The Buick knows what MP3s are.
22:24 DaemonFC; Turns out the Impala has a CD player and I just never noticed.
22:25 DaemonFC; I mostly play the CDs on my home stereo system and then for digital, I'm storing them as Opus.
22:25 *wallacer (~quassel@6bsu33ajs4zs4.irc) has joined #techrights
22:25 bnchs; i mean you can rip to FLAC as mastercopy
22:25 bnchs; and then convert the master copy to a 128k Opus
22:25 DaemonFC; Well, the archival aspect of FLAC is nice, and you think you're backing them up sufficiently, but then you have a hard disk crash.
22:25 DaemonFC; So at least you can cram another copy on your Google Drive and it's not lost forever.
22:27 DaemonFC; I was checking out some Bluetooth speakers at IKEA a couple years back and playing my Talking Heads stuff on them and Billy Ocean and random things from my Opus library on my phone.
22:27 DaemonFC; And an employee came over and told me at least it's music and not some teenager playing porn on there with women moaning and stuff.
22:28 DaemonFC; Vorbis wasn't terrible either. It had a weird stereo collapse at 64k sometimes, but MP3 would do that under 128k almost always.
22:29 DaemonFC; Apple was wasting tons of storage using AAC.
22:29 DaemonFC; They have to be twice the size of an Opus file (with the latest Opus encoder anyway) to sound great.
22:29 bnchs; <DaemonFC> And an employee came over and told me at least it's music and not some teenager playing porn on there with women moaning and stuff.
22:29 bnchs; hahahah that's always the funny part
22:29 DaemonFC; There is an open source AAC encoder finally, with FhG AAC, long after I lost interest in the format.
22:29 bnchs; play pr0n on max volume
22:30 DaemonFC; I tried FhG AAC though.
22:30 *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
22:30 DaemonFC; The most important limitation of MP3 is not solved because FhG ported over the psy model code from their MP3 codec that they codeveloped with Thomson.
22:31 DaemonFC; It still completely eliminates all high frequencies like their MP3 did, figuring that they couldn't bloat the file if they weren't there at all.
22:32 rasputinaB95; AAC is better that mp3
22:33 rasputinaB95; but seems like mp3 is still the king
22:34 DaemonFC; There just was never a big enough improvement in codec quality to go back to the CD and re-rip until Opus came out.
22:34 bnchs; rasputinaB95, AAC is patent-encumbered
22:35 rasputinaB95; so is mp3
22:35 DaemonFC; Until Opus started becoming a widely accepted standard with good support in hardware, MP3 was worth using because the opportunity costs of moving to something else were too high for the marginal improvement in coding efficiency.
22:36 DaemonFC; Then perversely, the biggest reason to LEAVE MP3 and not foist it on others, the patents, all finished expiring 5 years ago.
22:36 DaemonFC; FhG and Apple paid off NPR to write an article saying MP3 was dead and go license something else.
22:36 DaemonFC; Suggesting all the various profiles of AAC.
22:37 DaemonFC; Which are marginally compatible with each other. They came out at different times, you have to license profile codecs from other pools.
22:37 DaemonFC; The only thing that is free to use right now is the base format, LC-AAC.
22:38 DaemonFC; If you need xHE-AAC, HE-AAC, or multi-channel AAC, you need to license patents.
22:38 DaemonFC; And the multi-channel patents aren't dead in the US until 2025, and the HE patents don't die until like 2028, and the xHE-AAC patents will live on through 2035!
22:39 DaemonFC; So if you need anything that does all of this, and it's guaranteed to work anywhere the codec does, you may as well move to Opus anyway.
22:39 DaemonFC; Because 2035 is a long time and you won't be able to use something as good as Opus is now even if you wait 13 more years for AAC patents to die.
22:40 DaemonFC; That's how most software patents are.
22:40 DaemonFC; So we should use and promote Free stuff now instead.
22:41 chunky; u still wear covid masks + ez clap + go outside + u think nfts are cool + yr memes suck + u watch bra reviews on youtube + u sleep on an air mattress
22:41 DaemonFC; And if patents are on something stupid, you can just cut them out and implement them later, like the font antialiasing in freetype.
22:41 DaemonFC; I do wear an N95 mask when I'm around others.
22:42 bnchs; <chunky> u still wear covid masks + ez clap + go outside + u think nfts are cool + yr memes suck + u watch bra reviews on youtube + u sleep on an air mattress

22:43 rasputinaB95; font antialiasing shouldnt be need

23:00 matey; win98lite or something
23:01 bnchs; it's funny
23:01 bnchs; we have C99 and shit
23:01 matey; /me used the instructions from the toastytech website to remove internet explorer from the windows installer itself
23:01 bnchs; and you can still find windows programs written in C89
23:01 rasputinaB95; i wiched you could run an modern OS on 64 Megas
23:01 DaemonFC; <matey> you could use third party tools <- what was the name of that livecd thing called
23:02 matey; i think i had the only 10mb installation of windows 95 on earth
23:02 bnchs; because microsoft's compiler still doesn't support anything beyond C89
23:02 matey; with the gui
23:02 DaemonFC; 98lite could get it out of the installer, but it could also add add/remove programs entries for everything Microsoft wouldn't let you get rid of.
23:02 matey; even control panel didnt load
23:02 DaemonFC; RoM II and RoM II SE were freeware, and could only be used on a current install. Preferably before you did anything else with the computer.
23:02 matey; not that there was a whole lot for win95 to do when the entire install was only 10mb (5 compressed)
23:03 matey; (5 compressed into a zip file)
23:03 matey; i wanted the most barebones gui in windows 9x possible. because until the gui loaded, this ONE command line application didnt have the atapi layer it needed
23:03 matey; later i got a different program with its own fucking atapi
23:03 DaemonFC; I was too broke to pay for anything, so I did a clean install of Windows, ran RoM on it, and then used a program that made a sector-by-sector disk backup onto a CD.
23:04 DaemonFC; Whenever Windows was fucked, you could just boot to DOS, run the backup software, insert your CD, and it would reimage the hard disk exactly the way you backed it up.
23:04 matey; i never trusted sector-by-sector backups
23:04 DaemonFC; Since I got Windows from HP, there was a lot of HP shit to remove too from the OEM recover disc.
23:05 matey; i assumed they were too brittle
23:05 DaemonFC; So it was actually a couple of hours worth of work from that to a clean Windows without IE+SHIT.
23:05 DaemonFC; Popping in a CD that just fast forwards you to AFTER you did all that and installed your drivers was much nicer.

23:06 matey; i did that with ubuntu once
23:07 MinceR; and wonder how long until Backdoors nukes it
23:07 matey; "co-linux"
23:07 matey; actually, endless os has an option to do that
23:07 DaemonFC; No, Windows would leave it alone because it doesn't generally fuck up Windows Boot Manager and go looking for your Linux filesystem file.
23:07 DaemonFC; It only fucks your "Linux" when you use GRUB and partitioning.
23:07 matey; you can put it on a file as a fake partition and it will add an entry to the win10 bootloader
23:08 matey; it cant keep its grubby hands off grub

23:28 matey; when windows even works its incredible and indescribable
23:28 DaemonFC; My .wine folder is 1.3 GB uncompressed and about 500 MB compressed.
23:28 matey; its sort of like the dancing frog
23:28 psydruid; yeah
23:28 matey; you get windows working and you call someone over to look and its like BLUE SCREEN
23:28 matey; and theyre like "stop taking the piss"
23:29 rasputinaB95; windows 10 never crashed
23:29 psydruid; indeed
23:29 psydruid; only 3 times a week
23:29 matey; thats why you need to upgrade to 11
23:29 MinceR; lol
23:30 rasputinaB95; you dont know how to admin windows
23:30 matey; sure i do
23:30 MinceR; adminning windows is easy
23:30 matey; use dd
23:30 MinceR; you insert install media for a real OS and go through the install process
23:30 MinceR; fixed.
23:31 matey; and go through the install process <- if im lazy enough i will literally dd the live installer to the drive and reclaim the free partition space later
23:32 matey; granted thats no good if you want to actually install anything
23:32 matey; but its a very effective way to remove windows
23:32 MinceR; :)
23:33 psydruid; it's a one-time operation
23:33 psydruid; even booting the thing once is too painful
23:33 matey; try as they might, windows has not reinstalled itself yet
23:33 matey; maybe pluton.

23:34 matey; maybe evetually theyll make firmware so nasty it actually gets on the network and reinstalls windows from netboot
23:34 matey; even on a loop partition with an entry added to your bootloader :)
23:35 psydruid; a few laptops I bought 2 years ago took more than 15 to boot up, at which point I was like "feck this, I have to nuke this and figure out how to update its firmware later"
23:35 psydruid; I can totally see that happening

23:36 psydruid; but that's why I'm off x86 for future hardware
23:36 matey; we always swear its a joke and then 15 years later they go and do it
23:36 matey; it was funny because it was too out there, even for microsoft
23:36 matey; and then given them 15 years and theyll do it anyway
23:38 matey; leah: one thing im not clear on is when theres a microcode update (like for meltdown) is that firmware actually stored on a chip somewhere or is it loaded on each boot
23:39 matey; like does it actually write it to something on the mobo or is it just loaded "like" a driver (i realise its different from a driver, i just mean from a file, etc)
23:45 chunky; it gets loaded each boot
