00:00 DaemonFC; MinceR, Don't worry about the billionaires ruining the stock market, the economy, the national debt, and laying millions off while they release falsified jobs reports.
00:00 DaemonFC; The whole smash is the fault of single mothers on food stamps.
00:01 DaemonFC; And thanks to the wisdom of the alleged court, soon there will be more of those than ever.
00:05 MinceR; good, more people to blame
00:10 DaemonFC; You'd have to wonder why the Republicans want more poor black people around.

00:13 DaemonFC; I mean, there's a lot to say about living there. It's cheap to live there. It never gets truly nasty out. So no salt, so potholes and shit aren't everywhere and your car won't rust.
00:13 DaemonFC; It seems Illinois is just content with taxing us more every year and telling us how much our roads are improving when there's more car-eating potholes than ever and everyone knows it.
00:14 DaemonFC; They have to spend all of the transportation money ripping up the roads there's nothing wrong with and taking 14 years to replace the road.
00:14 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^
00:14 DaemonFC; Then after causing 14 years of bad traffic, they backslap each other because "it's for the environment".
00:15 DaemonFC; Like "You widened an intersection and it took 14 years. My nephew is 14. How in the hell have you taken 14 years to widen an intersection?".

00:30 TR News; The Linux Foundation sure loves its rapist; maybe a forced marriage is in order, too? It was always about money, nothing else http://techrights.org/2022/05/09/microsoft-takes-control-lf/
00:33 DaemonFC; Microsoft was really big on doing languages and compilers. It would have been nicer if any of it worked and stayed working.
00:33 DaemonFC; Now they don't even have to fuck that up. They can just wait for others to do it for them and then buy the foundation behind those.
00:38 MinceR; and then fuck them up
00:39 schestowitz-TR; no other options, no choice
00:39 schestowitz-TR; IE6
00:40 schestowitz-TR; IR6 monoculture was smashed by Firefox
00:40 schestowitz-TR; because Mi ShellBanker killed Moilla
00:41 schestowitz-TR; for $3,000,000+ per year
00:41 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, I usually do tax planning like I was saying earlier. If we're on the verge of losing more than we gain, I just do unpaid time off and have the tax department eat it.
00:41 schestowitz-TR; the biggest tax right not is inflation
00:42 DaemonFC; Sometimes you're like a few hundred bucks away from owing the IRS another $1,000 or something.
00:42 schestowitz-TR; walmart prices up 25%
00:42 schestowitz-TR; profits up maybe 15%
00:42 schestowitz-TR; salaries rise 5%
00:42 DaemonFC; So it makes more sense to take a couple unpaid days off in front of the TV and get a bigger tax refund.
00:42 schestowitz-TR; thank you, Waltons!
00:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, Yeah, some of Walmart's benefits are really good, some aren't worth signing up for.
00:43 schestowitz-TR; IRS is a global joke
00:43 schestowitz-TR; they take tax
00:43 schestowitz-TR; then they give you a big job
00:43 schestowitz-TR; and then "return" some of what they took
00:43 DaemonFC; The vision plan gets you a discount, but you have to use it off their insanely marked up eyeglass prices.
00:43 schestowitz-TR; instead of just taking the correct amount to begin with
00:43 DaemonFC; And how often do you really need an exam and new glasses?
00:44 schestowitz-TR; encumbered stressed citizens who might already be working 2 jobs only to earn the salary of one
00:44 DaemonFC; If you push it, probably a few years. Once every few years.
00:44 DaemonFC; So you can sign up for Walmart's vision plan but it's just going to cost you money, in premiums and forcing you into their Vision Center, which is like 5 times the cost of going online with your prescription.
00:45 DaemonFC; Ohhhhh, I can get a $100 discount from a pair of $500 glasses! Look at me! All I had to do was pay $300 in premiums! Can you believe I even got an eye exam out of this?
00:46 TR News; howtoforge has been taken over by some dodgy new owner, I suspect (not Falko), who then outsourced the whole thing to clownflare, now blocking a lot of people who don't run JS (the site itself does not need it, but clownflare the cancer wants it). So RSS feeds too have died. howtoforge cannot survive like this...
00:46 DaemonFC; I mean, you go online and you can get two nice pair of glasses for $125 if you buy them at once. An exam is like $70.
00:47 DaemonFC; So you do that once every 3 years, that's $65 a year averaged out. If you buy the Walmart vision insurance, it's $300 over 3 years just for the insurance.
00:47 TR News; BillBC will also be defunded and die in a few years. Its current business plan is taking Jeffrey Epstein and Bill and Lolita Gates Foundation bribe money for reputation laundering. Jimmy Savile is back. But now with BRIBES.
00:47 DaemonFC; Then you need to pay $750 for two pair of glasses after the discount.
00:48 DaemonFC; So they make $1,050 off of you when you could have just paid $195 over the same time period.
00:48 DaemonFC; What kind of shitty insurance costs you five times more than going uninsured?
00:49 DaemonFC; And for major eye surgery or something, there's no coverage at all.
00:49 DaemonFC; So it's not like you're even buying it in case you need cataract surgery or something someday.
00:49 DaemonFC; There's no justification for buying this.
00:50 DaemonFC; But it's still "tax advantaged".
00:50 DaemonFC; So the IRS is subsidizing insurance that takes more than it's worth out of you.
00:51 DaemonFC; Our tax laws make pretty much no sense whatsoever.

01:11 chicksahoy; speaking of taxes, the canadian gov't now allows simple tax returns to be filed online for free
01:11 chicksahoy; something thats bound to piss off turbotax, etc
01:12 chicksahoy; it'll even do "autofill" which basically puts in the info from the forms they've received from employers

01:33 *bnchs has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
01:50 DaemonFC; TurboTax owes us money.
01:51 DaemonFC; The FTC sued them because they were committing fraudulent advertising about free tax returns and then violating the terms of the IRS Free File program.
01:51 DaemonFC; So I think we'll get at least $30 and perhaps as much as $90.
01:51 DaemonFC; I think it'll probably be $60 though.
01:52 DaemonFC; The first year I filed, they billed me for taking an American Opportunity Tax Credit and some other refundable credits even though we actually had no taxable income that year.
01:52 DaemonFC; 2019 was bad.
01:52 DaemonFC; I was living off of credit cards.
01:53 DaemonFC; 2020 was better.
01:53 DaemonFC; USCIS figured they'd issue Mandy's work permit and then call us in the next week and ask how we'd support ourselves.
01:54 DaemonFC; Then COVID caused them to shut down all of their offices and he found a job the day our original interview was canceled.
01:54 DaemonFC; THen by the time they actually got us in, he'd been employed for about a year.
01:55 DaemonFC; I told him "Go apply at Walmart." and his idiot sister was demanding that he take a 90 day temp job at Medline and was furious because he applied there and they told him no, and he took the job at Walmart.
01:56 DaemonFC; She tried to extort me for his entire paycheck "Or I'll drop the support affidavit I signed.". I told her "Go ahead.". She paid some scumbag lawyer a bunch of money to get rid of it and then texted us the papers she was sending there, like to try to harass me.
01:57 DaemonFC; Then she started screaming at Catholic Charities, which is where I went to file our case because it was $800 there and I didn't have any money, and Trump was going to change the law in a month to where they wouldn't accept our filing if I didn't beat the deadline.
01:57 DaemonFC; Catholic Charities dumped us and said they wouldn't represent us anymore and she was "blowing up their email and ringing their phone off the hook". I told them, "Well, that is disorderly conduct. I suggest you call the police if you feel it's getting out of hand.".
01:58 DaemonFC; (Calling someone on the phone repeatedly with the primary intention of making the phone ring is disorderly conduct.)
01:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 20.71 k/sec., IPFS upstream 82.68 average k/sec., average swarm size 391.15
01:59 DaemonFC; So I waited. Ended up filing an extension of his work permit, and it was approved.
02:00 DaemonFC; Waited some more, they scheduled a new interview. I hired a new lawyer, had her fill out a replacement sponsorship contract using the federal regulation that allows "the intending immigrant's own income to qualify if they are being sponsored by their US citizen spouse", and to project his current income for a year, based on all of the payroll stubs I saved.
02:01 DaemonFC; They threw MARISOL's letter and the support affidavit she filled out in the trash and filed the new one and approved us.
02:02 DaemonFC; But before that happened, and before Mandy had been employed long, I filed bankruptcy and cleared out several hundred thousand dollars worth of my own debt, so USCIS couldn't ask me how we'd support the household with all the debt, because there is no debt.
02:04 DaemonFC; So in the span of 20 months I beat back criminal charges, got married, filed an immigration case out of the motel room I was living in off credit card debt after tricking that idiot into helping us get it filed thinking she'd shake me down later, found my spouse a job, filed bankruptcy, and rebooted the immigration case.
02:04 DaemonFC; During all of that, I decided that I'd stick it to the government again, so I filed a lawsuit against the State Police and forced them to give me my gun permit back.
02:06 DaemonFC; I think matey understands that I actually like dealing with legal paperwork sometimes just because I find it amusing.
02:06 DaemonFC; That guy that thought he was going to fuck me on the car keys ended up with me filing a 12 page credit card dispute in which I left him no plausible way to respond to.
02:06 DaemonFC; And that was over $200.
02:07 DaemonFC; By refusing to just hand me my money back he got the $238 (or whatever it was...something like that) clawed back by the bank and then they took another $100 from him for having to investigate it.
02:08 DaemonFC; I thought it was funnier than all get out because I asked for a refund and he threatened to call the police on me.
02:08 DaemonFC; So I got on my credit card website and said "Okay fucker.".
02:09 DaemonFC; I wish I had just gone to Buick to begin with.
02:10 DaemonFC; I figured it would be like $500 a key because the guy at KIA, when I was buying the KIA Soul, said "Don't ever lose these. They're $550 each if you have to replace one.".
02:10 DaemonFC; So it stuck in my head "Hey, if you have a security key, don't go to the dealer. Go to a locksmith or something.".
02:11 DaemonFC; And that's true on some cars, but Buick doesn't charge more than the locksmiths or Battery Nazi.
02:11 DaemonFC; And locksmiths and Battery Nazi are just hit or miss.
02:12 DaemonFC; I'm glad I didn't go on vacation or something and end up 300 miles from home and then Battery Asshole's key decided to glitch out.
02:12 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, I changed my Yelp review of the Battery Nazi as they kept yanking it and shouting "Code of Conduct!".
02:13 DaemonFC; This one looks like they're going to let it stay up.
02:13 DaemonFC; Apparently calling someone a lunatic for behaving like a lunatic (yelling, cursing, threatening to call the police, over an unsatisfied customer....) is not okay. Who knew?
02:17 chicksahoy; lol
02:17 chicksahoy; good one DaemonFC
02:19 DaemonFC; chicksahoy, I included in the credit card dispute that had I known I'd be walking into Batteries Plus Crazy Person, I'd have just gone to Buick right away, and I had to go to Buick and pay them to redo everything, and here's my receipt from Buick with the technician affirming that there was no way to get any of the stuff Batteries Plus sold me to work.

02:23 DaemonFC; Well, this is nice.
02:24 DaemonFC; The post office sent back the authorized user credit cards I got (to hold onto) in my mom's name on my account to help her credit score, saying she wasn't on the box.
02:25 DaemonFC; But they give me everyone's junk mail, including the $3,000 in unpaid parking ticket woman, the guy who fucked a 12 year old in Michigan and failed to register, and Paul's notification that his idiotic vehicle protection plan will have a price increase.
02:25 DaemonFC; This is where I finally had to apply for an apartment because everyone else has standards.
02:25 DaemonFC; :/
02:26 DaemonFC; The Gang Police were out here one day hauling some guy off.
02:26 DaemonFC; On a few occasions, a guy was beating up his girlfriend and dragging her through the hallways, and I called 911 and the guy must have heard me because he came and stared at my door for a while.
02:27 DaemonFC; It's fine. Let him beat down my front door so Smith & Wesson can teach him the error of his ways.
02:27 DaemonFC; That's what I say.
02:28 DaemonFC; I was standing in here with a loaded revolver aimed at the door.
02:28 DaemonFC; It's important that you wait until they're actually in your apartment, and then it's very difficult for the prosecutor to claim that you weren't justified.
02:29 DaemonFC; But he just stared at the door for a while and then left.
02:29 DaemonFC; I think he thought he was intimidating me.
02:29 DaemonFC; Had he gone further, that would have been the end of his life.
02:30 DaemonFC; He'll never know that. People piss off the wrong person and then that's the end of that.
02:30 DaemonFC; If it wasn't me that day it'll be some drug dealer with a piece that plugs him some other day, because that's how it is.
02:31 DaemonFC; I don't really think it would fuck me up forever if I absolutely had to defend myself. I think the anti-gun groups borrowed a page out of the "You'll feel like shit forever if you have an abortion." playbook.
02:32 DaemonFC; I know my mind and my conscience well enough to know what would leave me scarred for life.
02:33 DaemonFC; Joining an army (voluntarily) and killing another soldier might. Killing someone for no reason or in furtherance of a crime definitely would.
02:34 DaemonFC; But I don't subscribe to that "You should feel guilty for dropping some no good waste of skin that was trying to murder you." thing. I don't see how anyone would. You should sleep like a baby after that.
02:35 DaemonFC; There are certain things in life where everyone has a choice as to whether they're going to do right or wrong, and doing wrong comes with risks.
02:36 DaemonFC; But I live in a pretty bad place, but I make the most of it. The safe places all cost twice as much to rent....for a reason.

06:53 darwin; The Beatles claimed to have become bigger than Jesus, then Brian Kernighan & Dennis Ritchie (K&R) & Ken Thompson became bigger than God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit... others might say RMS, Linus Torvalds, Patrick Volkerding
06:55 darwin; i know, UNIX always was proprietary but almost all source code was available, and still is after Caldera/SCO opened it (forgot if was free/libre/copyleft license) in recent decades, so in recent years we're even seeing old Unix utilities & shells being ported to modern POSIX-based/Unix/GNU/Linux OS and AT&T & SCO & etc. apparently don't care
06:56 darwin; i hope versions seven to 10 will be opened also, or better yet freed
06:57 darwin; part why it wasn't considered free/libre is originally and maybe still to some extent it's only for non-commercial usage, which is okay for personal usage but RMS criticized non-commercial licenses
06:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 20.55 k/sec., IPFS upstream 51.15 average k/sec., average swarm size 406.26
06:59 darwin; so yeah, unfortunately 'opensource' (concept also predating the term) still has relevant meaning for code you can read & use and learn from, maybe even distribute changes, but not use commercially. I'm against opensource and avoid the term but unfortunately it's not over yet
07:00 darwin; i think the Unix creators are/were good people, just exploited by AT&T & etc.

12:25 DaemonFC; I was just thinking about that episode of Married With Children where they get a credit card in the mail in the dog's name.
12:25 DaemonFC; That actually happened to me once back in the 90s.
12:25 DaemonFC; They sent a letter to the dog and I was like "What the hell is a bank doing sending a letter to my dog?".
12:25 DaemonFC; Back then they frequently did just sign you up for a credit card without you even applying and stuck it in the mail.
12:26 DaemonFC; You could start charging things to it right away. It was crazy.
12:26 DaemonFC; I wondered how they signed up the dog. Dogs don't even have SSNs, so how do they do that?
12:26 bnchs; DaemonFC, i wonder how much money they spent on sending mail to people's dogs
12:28 DaemonFC; Well, it wasn't just junk mail, it was an activated credit card with a $1,000 spending limit! In like 1996!
12:28 DaemonFC; For a dog!
12:28 DaemonFC; And then now they make you beg for one with a $500 limit on it if you have had a bankruptcy, but they were fine mailing them out to dogs back in the 90s I guess.
12:29 DaemonFC; I was like "The fuck am I supposed to do with a $500 limit?".
12:29 bnchs; pranks like filling up people's gas tanks
12:29 bnchs; oh sending an activated credit card to a guy's dog
12:29 DaemonFC; $500 doesn't buy anything anymore.
12:29 DaemonFC; I woke up this morning. Gas is $5 a gallon now.
12:29 DaemonFC; Which means it's probably $6 in Chicago.
12:30 DaemonFC; You fill up the tank and buy groceries for a couple weeks, BAM, there's your $500 limit.
12:30 DaemonFC; They wonder why "nobody wants to work".
12:31 bnchs; i remember that king of the hill episode where hank used to joyride boomhower's car and fill it up with gas as a prank
12:31 DaemonFC; You have to work for an hour to buy gas to go to work that day.
12:31 DaemonFC; It's pretty demoralizing.
12:31 bnchs; why don't they do that nowadays
12:31 bnchs; considering how expensive it is
12:31 DaemonFC; Banks have gotten better about avoiding fraud. Back then they just didn't seem to care that much.
12:32 DaemonFC; They issued me a credit card when I was like 14.
12:32 DaemonFC; Which was illegal even then.
12:32 bnchs; wtf?
12:32 bnchs; how was that possible?
12:32 DaemonFC; Minors can't sign a contract and the law, even then, said you had to be 18 to have a credit card, unless you were just an authorized user on someone else's.
12:33 bnchs; did you sign anything
12:33 bnchs; or do anything exactly?
12:33 DaemonFC; Yeah, they sent me an application, I signed it, they sent me a credit card.
12:33 DaemonFC; It's Capital One for you.
12:33 bnchs; that was.... easy?
12:35 DaemonFC; Yeah. They had commercials on the TV all the time with vikings and sword fights and they'd always shout at each other "What's in your wallet!?".
12:37 DaemonFC; <bnchs> that was.... easy?
12:37 DaemonFC; It was. They also had CD/DVD clubs and I signed up for a bunch and then went "Well, I'm a kid, so...bye!" after the 9 DVDs for a penny or whatever.
12:37 bnchs; 9 DVDs for a fucking penny??
12:38 bnchs; were they 4.4 GB?
12:38 DaemonFC; Yeah, they'd do that and you were obligated to buy 5 more for the normal price. And if you didn't reject it, they just sent you one every month.

12:38 DaemonFC; "Director's Choice"
12:39 DaemonFC; Well, 9 DVDs at the store were like $350 at the time, plus tax.
12:39 DaemonFC; So you had to go through a brochure that listed everything they had in their warehouse and put in the item number in each box.
12:39 DaemonFC; Then they'd mail it to you.
12:40 DaemonFC; There's a lot of reasons why shopping malls have collapsed.
12:41 DaemonFC; But with the rise of the Internet, there's been less of a demand for printed books and DVDs and CDs, software in boxes, and stuff, so they've all lost like 4-6 of their anchor tenants because of that alone.
12:42 DaemonFC; There's still a store in the Gurnee mall that sells CDs and DVDs, but it's always pretty much empty aside from the person working there.
12:42 DaemonFC; Lots of people complain today, I think, but you know. It's crazy what people used to pay for like one disc.

12:43 DaemonFC; When CDs were relatively new, it was like $30-35 per disc, in the 80s. You still run across some with the original tag.
12:43 DaemonFC; Minimum wage was like $2 back then?
12:43 DaemonFC; So you had to be pretty well off to have a shelf of CDs.
12:44 bnchs; how far we've come beyond using paper tape
12:44 bnchs; they still use tape for data storage
12:45 DaemonFC; Yeah, I used to buy blank cassette tapes and use my aunt's stereo deck to copy off a CD onto a tape.
12:45 DaemonFC; Nothing stopped you from doing that.
12:45 DaemonFC; You had to do it in real time though.
12:46 DaemonFC; But the tapes were like $1 each maybe?
12:46 DaemonFC; Buying them pre-recorded was like $15, and buying the CD was twice that.
12:46 bnchs; tapes are pretty powerful
12:46 bnchs; they can handle tons of data
12:47 DaemonFC; So if your friend had a CD and you wanted to make a tape off it, it was worth the nuisance.
12:47 DaemonFC; Because each one you copied to a tape saved you abotu $14 or so.

17:41 activelow; i'll not wait any longer, and kick out X11 soon, no more libX11, not worth the effort anymore, GTK is gone already.
17:42 activelow; there is one issue remaining, i have to keep x11 for, which is VT-switching with mplayer/sdl on framebuffer console does grab framebuffer device exclusively, so i can't vt-switch yet
17:43 activelow; which is strange, because libsdl1+fbcon does support vt-switching, flawless with some other test case

18:45 MinceR; so once it becomes obvious to most people what MICROS~1 and ibm/deadrat turned what was GNU/Linux into, the masses will migrate once again
18:45 DaemonFC; Windows is the absolute low anchor for what to expect out of an OS.
18:45 MinceR; i can't determine whether windows or macOS is worse
18:45 MinceR; they're competing hard at being the worst
18:45 DaemonFC; It's not only malicious (which Apple is too), but it's horrifically bloated and full of bugs and lulz.
18:45 MinceR; they're both making steps toward locking out third-party applications
18:46 MinceR; and the "immutable filesystem" bullshit is also a move toward that
18:46 DaemonFC; I don't like horrifically bloated programs. And you can argue all day about what bloat means, but standing next to GNOME or KDE on GNU/Linux, Windows is definitely bloated.
18:47 DaemonFC; Those $199 Windows laptops that the government is paying half of for poor people are like Chris Farley's old sketch, fat guy in a little jacket.
18:47 MinceR; standing next to a free Unix system, gnome or kde on systemd/Linux is horrifically bloated
18:47 DaemonFC; You can still install and use a GNU/Linux system on a mid to late 2000s PC with the software up to date.
18:47 DaemonFC; You kind of have to lower your expectations and cut the OS to fit, but it does at least still work.
18:47 DaemonFC; No dice on the Windows-side.
18:48 DaemonFC; If it's not at least 2018, it won't be "supported" by Windows 11, and a lot of stuff that didn't _ship_ with Windows 11 won't run it properly or be guaranteed to get updates if you use it.
18:48 DaemonFC; So I mean, on that one point alone, it's best to just stay away.
18:49 DaemonFC; Now, my dad says he uses Windows 11 on one of his systems that came with it and he says he likes it better than Windows 10.
18:49 DaemonFC; I said, it's not saying much.
18:49 DaemonFC; It's like saying you upgraded from a Yugo to a GEO Metro.
18:50 DaemonFC; But even that's not giving Microsoft credit.
18:50 chicksahoy; DaemonFC: im quite happy with Fedora 36 Workstation (Gnome 42)
18:50 DaemonFC; The Metro had one thing going for it, which is more than Windows does.
18:50 DaemonFC; It was slow, it was poorly built, but it was good on gas.
18:50 MinceR; is the geo metro so much worse than the suzuki swift/cultus on which it is based? :>
18:50 MinceR; sounds like it is
18:50 DaemonFC; Well, there's still people out there looking for Metros and parts.
18:51 DaemonFC; They cannibalize old Metros to keep theirs running if they can't find a suitable replacement part.
18:51 DaemonFC; And the reason why is simple.
18:51 DaemonFC; It was a car from the 90s that was simply designed that got over 40 mpg in the city and over 50 on the highway.
18:51 DaemonFC; You _could_ do that in the 90s.
18:51 DaemonFC; You did not need all this Hybrid crap.
18:52 DaemonFC; The Hybrid crap costs so much to maintain that the car is basically a write-off after 9 or 10 years.
18:52 DaemonFC; All you need to do to keep a Metro going is find a halfway decent mechanic and cheap parts.
18:52 MinceR; afaict they didn't even put GM engines in Metros
18:52 DaemonFC; So that's why people still want them.
18:53 MinceR; it was based on some GM "platform" though, so i dunno

19:02 DaemonFC; And the "GM family discount" before the bankruptcy was higher.
19:03 DaemonFC; So she got like $3,700 off of it. And cars weren't ridiculously overpriced back then, so the $3,700 was substantial.
19:03 DaemonFC; A new Impala with all the options might have had an MSRP of like $26,500 or something.
19:04 DaemonFC; The last year they made them, 2020, they started at $50,000, and if you wanted the options package it added almost $10,000 more.
19:05 DaemonFC; I mean, schestowitz-TR tries to grab my goat about the Buick, but I bought the car and got it all fixed up for less than the taxes on a new car.

20:01 activelow; that's why, noone noticed, for example, "midnight commander" plus glib are 2MiB in size... that's _huge_
20:02 activelow; excessive, nnn is 78KiB; and it integrates with dvtm and any desired layout
20:03 activelow; meaning, even software i considered moderate and efficient until recently, can be replaced with better one requiring less than 10% of LoC
20:04 activelow; and the reason, why this isn't appealing, isn't caused by limitations due to their efficience, quit the contrary... instead it is lack of maintenance and adoption of such real *nix type software components
20:05 activelow; GNU/FSF can't endorse quality software such as dvtm, because it crushes their own business model surrounding GNOME

20:28 activelow; even digged if i could find a motif variant of this, the first version of GIMP relied on motif
20:28 MinceR; because the typical crapOS-like bullshit application they're pushing doesn't use them
20:28 activelow; and motif can sit on top of framebuffer directly, GTK2 too could yet this doesn't pass acceptance criteria anymore (harfbuzz)
20:28 MinceR; all it needs is a city-sized title bar so that it can fit all of its fucking widgets in the title bar
20:28 MinceR; and it takes up the rest of the screen with window borders

20:31 activelow; except for some very early gimp version 0.5 something, 20 years ago, which used motif instead of GTK/GNOME

20:35 MinceR; i'm guessing you don't want xft or antialiasing
20:35 bnchs; vector fonts are bad
20:36 MinceR; afaik there are terminal emulators that support plain old x bitmap fonts

20:37 activelow; bnchs: vector fonts are _not_ bad, they're only not used correctly
20:37 MinceR; apparently "correct" vector font usage means replacing c++ with c and gobject :>

Most shops charge less than $200 for supplies (fluid, filter, gasket) and labor. A replacement transmission costs about $4,000 on up. So you have your choice of paying $800 or so broken out into four installments to keep the one you have running for the life of the car, or just letting the fluid degrade until it wears out the transmission.
21:22 DaemonFC; Jiffy Lube charges as much as doing the job right, but only does half the job.

21:23 DaemonFC; Eventually the filter will plug up. Some OEMs didn't put a bypass in, and so it will increase the strain on the transmission and the pump that keeps the fluid circulating and it will burn out one or both pretty fast at that point.
21:24 DaemonFC; Or it will have a bypass, then you have metal shavings circulating with the fluid, without being strained out by the filter.
21:24 DaemonFC; Transmission servicing has pretty much been deleted from all owners manuals, even though nothing has changed about how fast the fluid and filter degrade.

22:02 TR Bot; After more than 20 years, Apple discontinues iPod | WGN-TV
22:02 DaemonFC; I posted a long reply.
22:02 DaemonFC; Fact: The iPod was not anything special. It was just an MP3/AAC codec with some storage and a secret proprietary protocol that only iTunes was supposed to be able to use. The fact that it worked at all without iTunes was due to the reverse engineering effort behind the libimobiledevice library, which got them working under GNU/Linux.
22:02 DaemonFC; Whenever libimobiledevice reversed the sync protocol, Apple would change it for no reason just to break syncing without iTunes, which was the worst program for the PC ever. The only way to be safe from them was to absolutely never connect the iPod to iTunes and to only sync it with something like Banshee or Rhythmbox.
22:02 DaemonFC; Fact: Apple claimed that AAC files sounded better than MP3, but that was only somewhat true at the time. Later MP3 encoders, such as LAME and even FhG's improved past the quality of Apple's AAC encoder. Apple never bothered to even implement MP3 to specification, which is why "podcasts" in MP3 are all Constant Bitrate.
22:02 DaemonFC; If you use Variable BItrate MP3s and try to play them on an Apple product, they'll work, but seeking will not behave right. It will just take you to some random part of the file. It does this because Apple ignores the VBRI or XING header and just counts the number of frames and assumes that every frame is the size of the first frame. The people working at Apple are idiots, not engineers, and they make products for idiots.
22:02 DaemonFC; Fact: The iPod was massively overpriced. Often selling for 5-6 times as much money as other players, bringing no advantages to the market. In fact, it has very significant downsides, like the sync protocol and the fact that while other players support Ogg Vorbis, Opus, and FLAC, Apple has been stuck in the year 2001 for the duration.
22:02 DaemonFC; Fact: The iPod was the greatest facilitator of pirated music in history, but it was Diamond that had to take the lawsuit that made the MP3 player obviously legal. The RIAA tried to declare that MP3 players were illegal because you may pirate music and put it on them.
22:02 DaemonFC; This is why chainsaws are illegal. Because you could attack someone with one. Therefore they are illegal.
22:02 DaemonFC; The average iPod user only bought 23 songs, even though they never stored less than 1,000 and usually stored 30,000 or more. Obviously nobody is going to spend $400 on something then only put 23 songs on it.
22:02 DaemonFC; Fact: Apple tries to take credit for removing the "FoulPlay" Digital Restriction Malware they used to impose on iTunes music files, but the fact is that many other stores, like Amazon and 7Digital, sold malware-free MP3 files for years before Apple jumped on the bandwagon.
22:03 DaemonFC; Fact: The article mentions a guy hired by Apple when his startup was about to collapse, but makes no mention of the fact that Apple's products suck so hard that they would have gone bankrupt in 1997 themselves had Microsoft not bailed them out to claim they had competition, even if it was worse than Windows somehow.
22:04 DaemonFC; I added: Today with the iPhones, iPads, and Macs, Apple has a universal backdoor that can change them to do any malicious thing they don't currently do as soon as you connect them to the Internet and install an update. They blackmail users to install the malicious updates by threatening that the computer will stop working at all eventually if you don't.
22:06 DaemonFC; Fact: While the iPod is dead, things that are far more corrosive to user freedom live on, and users should reject those too and use GNU/Linux and Free and Open Source Software, and devices which interact with those.
22:08 DaemonFC; Some people with a Mac installed an update through the universal backdoor, only to find that Apple deleted their entire local music library, which may have cost them thousands of dollars or many hours of ripping from CDs, or both, and then demanded that they subscribe to Apple Music, which stops working without an Internet connection, or if you don't pay them each month forever.
22:11 DaemonFC; MinceR, I removed the battery from my old Sansa.
22:12 DaemonFC; Wasn't easy because they soldered it in.
22:12 DaemonFC; I ended up managing to replace it and then I updated Rockbox again.
22:12 DaemonFC; It plays Opus files and the runtime is barely any different than playing MP3s.
22:13 MinceR; 10 214749 < activelow> why did FSG/GNU blow up compilation with 10x memory consumption and compilation time?
22:13 MinceR; to produce binaries that are faster, and possibly also smaller
22:14 MinceR; which is generally seen as desirable when using C or C++
22:14 DaemonFC; Yeah, there's an up front cost at compilation time, but you can end up with binaries that work better.
22:14 DaemonFC; When you have a build farm like Red Hat does, you can easily eat that up front cost.
22:15 DaemonFC; I suppose if your distribution is mostly frozen and just spits out occasional security updates, it wouldn't be so bad either.
