03:22 DaemonFC; I wonder if that's true, who it is offering, and why it went to spam.
03:22 DaemonFC; Also, it's interesting because generally 10 companies don't usually offer jobs all at once, especially if you have not expressed interest in changing jobs.
03:22 DaemonFC; And given how Aurora's balance sheets are, maybe he is looking.
03:22 DaemonFC; I would.
03:24 DaemonFC; Hmm. Kevin Peter Hall was cast for TNG as Data and as Geordi and didn't get either role.
03:24 DaemonFC; He died in 1992, iirc, of AIDS.
03:24 DaemonFC; He was extremely tall, which is one reason he got the role of "Predator" in the first two movies.
03:25 DaemonFC; He got HIV from a blood transfusion after a car accident.
03:29 schestowitz[TR]; yes, I read about it last year
03:29 schestowitz[TR]; tried to understand why he died
03:30 schestowitz[TR]; there is this stigma associate with people who died wit/h/from hiv
03:30 schestowitz[TR]; like magic johnson

03:33 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> tried to understand why he died
03:33 DaemonFC; I think the only available medicine was still AZT.
03:33 DaemonFC; So if you lived long enough, by some miracle, you might get better medicine in the mid to late 90s.
03:34 DaemonFC; When it was only AZT, it was still a terminal disease.
03:34 DaemonFC; It was like Stage 4 cancer and buying yourself like 3-4 years with chemotherapy.
03:36 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Now it costs you like a year or two if you live into old age.
03:36 DaemonFC; So we're talking not much at this point. A bus could hit you tomorrow type stuff.
03:37 DaemonFC; But there's the financial aspect.
03:37 DaemonFC; There's a lot of prejudice and stigma left. People badly understand what being in a relationship with someone who has it under control is actually like.
03:37 DaemonFC; You can get married, you can have kids with them.
03:38 DaemonFC; It's not an irresponsible thing to have kids with someone who has HIV and is in viral suppression.
03:38 DaemonFC; If it cannot be detected in a lab test, then they're not infectious.
03:39 DaemonFC; So it's a lingering misunderstanding.
03:39 DaemonFC; Mostly because a lot of people still remember how horrific it once was without any real treatments available.
03:39 DaemonFC; A diagnosis followed by a funeral a few years later.
03:39 mjg59_; 03:21 < DaemonFC> Matthew Garrett says that Twitter's spam folder nabbed about 10 messages offering him jobs.
03:39 mjg59_; No, I said that it had filtered several people who were responding to me when I was trying to hire teammates
03:40 DaemonFC; Why is a penny stock that's halved in the past few months hiring?
03:40 DaemonFC; Don't you need that cash so you can go on for another year? :)
03:41 mjg59_; I don't think you understand the link between stock price and cash on hand especially well
03:41 DaemonFC; I know your company is burning through cash and publicly admitted it doesn't know if it can make it much into 2024.
03:41 DaemonFC; And that each year, it loses more money than the previous year.
03:41 DaemonFC; And that your EPS is laughably negative.
03:41 mjg59_; Sure. It turns out that it costs money to develop a product.
03:42 DaemonFC; It looks like bankruptcy before having a product is the more likely result of this.
03:42 DaemonFC; You don't need to be an accountant to see failing dotcom company all over again.
03:42 mjg59_; It's not impossible, but it's honestly surprising that there are any earnings at all given there's no product yet
03:43 mjg59_; How do you think any startups work?
03:43 DaemonFC; Most fail.
03:43 DaemonFC; That's why there's a small cap stock index.
03:44 DaemonFC; There's a lot of crap in there and you need to figure out the 1 good one in the 100 cat turds.
03:45 DaemonFC; I don't invest in small cap stocks, ever, because the retirement account is there to make money and they aren't making money, and following an index of them is insane.
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; revenue!= earnings
03:45 DaemonFC; I follow the S&P 500.
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; youtube has revenue
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; afaik, no earnings
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; so they bombard with more and more ads
03:46 DaemonFC; Even at that scale, some fail.
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; maybe for temporary profit
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; as userrs flee
03:46 DaemonFC; But many get bailouts.
03:46 DaemonFC; Preferential tax treatment.
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; and chrome is used to try to impose ads on people
03:46 DaemonFC; I don't use Chrome. I use Vivaldi.
03:46 DaemonFC; I have it all rigged up to use Searx and everything.
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; based on chromium
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; so you sort of use chrome
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; with many of the same limitation
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; mozilla is the second browser of google
03:47 DaemonFC; The ad blocker is built in.
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; firefox=fake compettiion
03:47 DaemonFC; So it's not subject to Manifestv3.
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; also incubated rust
03:47 bagira; DaemonFC, i think what is being lost in translation is one person, who didn't know him, sent him a message asking for a referral
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: for now
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; it is at gulag's mercy
03:47 DaemonFC; Vivaldi is getting bigger.
03:47 bagira; he's trying to create the illusion of popularity and relevance
03:47 mjg59_; bagira: No, I said we were looking for security people, and a bunch of people asked me for details
03:47 DaemonFC; They opened a US office in Boston.
03:48 schestowitz[TR]; maybe some actual security people
03:48 bagira; mjg59_, ok bub whatever you say
03:48 schestowitz[TR]; asking a failed biologist
03:48 bagira; DaemonFC, anyway its all bullshit
03:48 schestowitz[TR]; people with qualifications
03:48 schestowitz[TR]; asking a person who underminmes security
03:48 schestowitz[TR]; for microsoft
03:48 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR]: stay mad bro
03:48 bagira; yeah he's not qualified for a security role
03:48 DaemonFC; I like it here. You know, with stocks in the shitter for a while.
03:48 schestowitz[TR]; being in pentagon companies disqualiffies oneself from pursuing real security
03:49 bagira; maybe a leadership role for a little while until the team collapses
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; as they mandates back doords
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; and won't tolerate real proper security
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; same for things other than security
03:49 DaemonFC; I only recently set up Mandy's 401(k) and so we've got way more shares we've bought like this than when things were higher.
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; ;like managers who lie
03:49 DaemonFC; When things are low, people tend to dump things they bought for more.
03:49 DaemonFC; It's psychological.
03:49 DaemonFC; They can't stand to look at it and they sell it too cheaply.
03:50 bagira; depends on the team though. he might be able to keep people motivated for a couple years if he hires people who ideologically align with him (hard left washington state ethos)
03:50 DaemonFC; Ideally, you'll buy a lot at a neutral or undervalued level and sell them for more later on.
03:51 bagira; to be clear, im not saying matthew garrett couldn't wiggle his way into a role like that, im saying he couldn't survive it
03:52 mjg59_; I'm in a development role?
03:52 bagira; i think you could bullshit your way to survival for a couple years on an enterprise development team
03:52 mjg59_; It's impressive how much fanfic y'all come up with about me
03:53 bagira; those roles aren't very hard if you coast off the politics
03:53 bagira; hell some devs don't push code for years on enterprise dev teams
03:54 bagira; maybe you could manure into playing like a "scrum master" function flipping checkmarks on tickets to look busy
03:54 mjg59_; Nah it's cool I'm not a PM
03:55 bagira; neither the management nor the team know what that role is, so you could get two years out of it
03:55 bagira; scrum master roles are not PM-based roles
03:57 bagira; (techtarget is way off on this)
03:58 schestowitz[TR]; <bagira> maybe you could manure into playing like a "scrum master" function flipping checkmarks on tickets to look busy
03:58 schestowitz[TR]; lol, so true

03:59 bagira; mjg59_, ok bub whatever you say
03:59 mjg59_; I dunno it's just weird that you'd believe I can't write code
03:59 bagira; i didn't say you can't write code
04:00 bagira; i said you wouldn't survive on contributions to an enterprise development team unless you played weird politics and kept your responsibilities ambiguous
04:00 mjg59_; Why not?
04:00 bagira; telling you would help you
04:00 bagira; i am not inclined to help you
04:01 mjg59_; Uh-huh

04:01 bagira; relax, like i said, you've got a couple years of laurels and politicking worth of buffer from old projects that also should not have listened to you7

04:47 immibis_; I heard Greta is coming to Luetzerath tomorrow
04:47 DaemonFC; If this was the 90s, I'd go spend $10 on cat food at the grocery store and get a bag so big it barely fits in the shopping cart.
04:48 immibis_; but I'm not sure why that's relevant to you
04:48 DaemonFC; One that was so big you'd almost get a hernia trying to get it from the pallet.
04:48 schestowitz[TR]; it's good she is still active
04:48 schestowitz[TR]; my point above was,
04:48 schestowitz[TR]; social control media like twitter is bad for acticism
04:48 schestowitz[TR]; now it's more musk- and ksa-controllede
04:48 DaemonFC; Then the cats would be eating that bag for the next three months.
04:48 DaemonFC; What the fuck went wrong?
04:49 schestowitz[TR]; greta "liked" or RTd me in twitter
04:49 immibis_; [05:47] <schestowitz[TR]> when did it ever work in the opp. way? every stock market crash. Having money was the right move instead of having stocks
04:49 schestowitz[TR]; though twitter was just copies of things I had posted in diaspora

04:49 DaemonFC; They had 48 pound bags of dog food at the grocery for $10 back then.

04:50 immibis_; This year you gained 40% if you bought commodities, you lost something like 4% if you had a savings account, but you lost 30% in anything else
04:50 immibis_; so the savings account was the second best option
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; what commodities? metals?
04:50 immibis_; not sure
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; check.
04:50 DaemonFC; They have to offer big rebates to keep consumer products selling now.
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; what went up by 40%?
04:51 DaemonFC; Raise prices. Offer rebates.
04:51 immibis_; Wheat, for one
04:51 DaemonFC; Customers fill a closet full of cat food while they can buy it.
04:51 DaemonFC; Not a bad strategy, huh?
04:51 immibis_; Eggs
04:51 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], ^
04:51 DaemonFC; That's why I have 160 pounds of cat food right now.
04:52 DaemonFC; Rebates. Then I can just feed it to them by "Best By Date" until I run out in about a year or so.
04:52 DaemonFC; I have a pretty good idea of how many pounds of cat food they manage to eat in a month.
04:53 DaemonFC; Works out to about like 15-16 pounds. Something like that.
04:53 DaemonFC; They need a certain amount of calories per day.
04:53 immibis_; you claim to care about environmental destruction and yet you have pets
04:53 DaemonFC; They're decent at regulating their own consumption without getting obese.
04:54 DaemonFC; <immibis_> you claim to care about environmental destruction and yet you have pets
04:54 DaemonFC; They're not using human-grade proteins in cat food.
04:54 immibis_; no, they're outside killing birds
04:54 immibis_; they're producing additional food even if not human grade
04:55 immibis_; whatever you pay for leftover proteins is subsidizing the rest of the cow
04:55 immibis_; Making it cheaper, causing people to buy more of it
04:55 DaemonFC; Yeah, _I_ eat a lot of beef.
04:55 immibis_; and you claim to care about environmental destruction

07:19 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Do you really figure Bill Gates is the reason you got....asked to leave the company?
07:19 immibis; when all these financial instruments fail and there isn't enough cash to back all the instruments, suddenly there is a whole lot less "cash"
07:19 DaemonFC; The divorce from Melinda was too nasty and public to completely contain.

07:20 DaemonFC; <immibis> this happened in 2008 and the Fed just printed several trillion dollars of actual cash to replace the fake cash
07:20 DaemonFC; I keep some of our money in Inflation-Adjusted bonds.
07:20 immibis; they were like "turn in your fake cash bonds and we'll give you real cash, $0.80 on the dollar"
07:20 DaemonFC; You want a hedge on inflation, park it with the people creating the inflation.
07:20 immibis; that's what QE is
07:20 DaemonFC; B-)
07:22 DaemonFC; I was reading through some court files.
07:22 DaemonFC; Some of Gonad's affiliates.
07:22 DaemonFC; One of them (dead) was convicted of Failure to Pay Child Support. Class D Felony.

07:22 DaemonFC; I told mom, "That's a FELONY!?".
07:22 immibis; one thing about QE is it automatically reverts itself. They buy a $100 bond creating $100 of cash (maybe) but whoever issued the bond still has to pay back $100 to the Fed when the bond matures, and that destroys $100 of cash. So they have to keep doing it or else they cause a deflation shock
07:23 DaemonFC; I mean, I heard they put you in jail eventually over it, but I guess I always figured it would be a misdemeanor or something.
07:23 immibis; If black people do it, or poor people do it, it's a felony.
07:23 DaemonFC; Oh let's make him a felon so he can never make money again!
07:23 immibis; If middle class white people do it, it's a misdemeanour.
07:23 immibis; If rich people do it, it's a civil case.
07:23 immibis; If the President does it, it's not even a crime.
07:23 DaemonFC; Nixon
07:23 immibis; this applies to ALL so-called "crimes"
07:24 immibis; <DaemonFC> Oh let's make him a felon so he can never make money again! <- Yes. The USA never ended slavery.
07:24 immibis; This is just how they do the slavery now.
07:24 immibis; it's also eugenics
07:24 DaemonFC; How do you figure?
07:24 immibis; remember, Hitler was inspired by how the USA did things
07:24 DaemonFC; Most of the felons I've seen manage to make another baby every time they're out.
07:24 immibis; and that led to him doing the Holocaust
07:24 DaemonFC; Even if it's for a matter of minutes.
07:25 immibis; and then the state tries to kill or enslave the bay
07:25 immibis; baby*
07:25 DaemonFC; You throw a ham sandwich across the room, they'll stick their dick in it before it lands.
07:25 DaemonFC; It's amazing how much pussy you get when you're a felon I guess.

07:26 DaemonFC; Nah, this guy was white.
07:26 TR Bot; 35.5K Posts | Techrights
07:26 DaemonFC; Had like 7-8 kids.
07:26 immibis; maybe the state should legalize abortion then
07:26 DaemonFC; Impressive considering he was 35 when he died and was locked up for like 10 years of that.
07:27 DaemonFC; These folks related to Gonad start having kids when they're old enough to cum. I swear to God.
07:27 immibis; capitalist societies have uninvented how to raise the next generation, because it's more profitable for the rich if only their children get raised properly and then enslave everyone else's children
07:27 DaemonFC; How else do you get to 8 of them at 35 when you've been incarcerated for a decade or so, periodically?
07:27 DaemonFC; Irish trash.
07:27 DaemonFC; mjg59_, Hi.
07:27 immibis; DaemonFC: be hot and go on tinder a lot
07:27 DaemonFC; Didn't exist back then.
07:28 immibis; then go to bars or whatever people did
07:28 immibis; do it once, then just repeat whatever you did the first time because nobody remembers you - it's stateless
07:29 immibis; it would be more impressive if a *woman* had 8 children by 35 despite being incarcerated for 10 years of that.
07:29 immibis; anyway, legalize abortions
07:29 DaemonFC; Yeah, because he did it with numerous women.
07:29 DaemonFC; So like, you can die with a lot of kids at a young age if you're a man.
07:29 DaemonFC; Because it's mathematically possible to die with just about as many as you can manage to produce.
07:29 immibis; obviously. I don't know why you even feel the need to explain this. I hope everyone here knows how human reproduction works.
07:30 DaemonFC; If you can convince enough women to fuck you, you can theoretically have hundreds in a single year.
07:30 DaemonFC; So 8 isn't really that impressive I suppose.
07:30 immibis; the fact you are continuing to explain this makes me think you're envious
07:30 DaemonFC; Not really envious, no.
07:30 immibis; maybe angry
07:30 DaemonFC; If I was straight and the count was the same, I'd probably have 20-30 kids.
07:30 immibis; you feel it's unjust that this guy has more children than you
07:31 DaemonFC; The only thing that would stop me is I'm smart enough to see how doing that would hurt me.
07:31 DaemonFC; Ruin my life. Unfixable.
07:31 immibis; The government would punish you by killing you.
07:31 DaemonFC; Yeah, most likely.
07:31 immibis; That's what it amounts to. But also your 30 children would have terrible lives so please don't make 30 new people have terrible lives.
07:31 DaemonFC; Some day, they send the cops because "child support".

08:45 DaemonFC; Warehouse Deals doesn't make them a lot of money.
08:45 schestowitz[TR]; it does
08:45 schestowitz[TR]; it keeps the rivals from gaining
08:45 schestowitz[TR]; so they can reduce the competition
08:45 immibis; <schestowitz[TR]> and then the gulag troll army picks on you <- what are you even talking about here
08:45 immibis; schestowitz is right about amazon
08:45 schestowitz[TR]; for them it's better than "NoSale"
08:46 schestowitz[TR]; Robert X. Cringely: >"They [Microsoft] have the deepest of pockets, unlimited ambition, and they are willing to lose money for years and years just to make sure that you don't make any money, either. And they are mean, REALLY mean."
08:46 schestowitz[TR]; <immibis> <schestowitz[TR]> and then the gulag troll army picks on you <- what are you even talking about here
08:46 schestowitz[TR]; look back 5 years
08:46 schestowitz[TR]; they picked on Torvalds for:
08:46 schestowitz[TR]; 1. coding from hom
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; 2. on his own. *home
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; 3. in home garments
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; 4. after he had said he wears a bathrobe sometimes
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; 5. he lives in oregon
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; 6. very cold in winter, bathrobe/gown is the right fit
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; so they shame him into
08:47 immibis; when I google a product in Germany, it brings up multiple Amazon-style e-stores like Amazon, eBay, but also Cyberport, Conrad, Mindfactory, Saturn, geekom.de
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; 1. wearing a suit and tie inside his own room
08:47 schestowitz[TR]; 2. to impress nobody
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; 3. feel cold
08:48 immibis; no idea what you're talking about
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; the people who do this are worse themselves
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; but that's another discussion.... about their lifestyles
08:48 DaemonFC; My mother tried to insult me again today. She said she was surprised I could "pick up on" the fact that my cousin has a problem child.
08:48 immibis; yes, sounds like they are trolls, but how is this a gulag army?
08:48 schestowitz[TR]; it is a coordinated (not officially and centrally) mob
08:49 DaemonFC; I said, "Pick up on that? The kid never shuts up. He's rude. He's annoying. He's attention-seeking. Crosseyed litte imp."
08:49 schestowitz[TR]; those who saw its wraths and victims online know what I mean
08:49 DaemonFC; "His mother quite possibly did drugs before my cousin adopted him."
08:49 schestowitz[TR]; now they shout and scream because twitter loses clout rapidly
08:49 immibis; coordinated by google?
08:49 DaemonFC; "And it's not helping that they don't punish him."
08:49 schestowitz[TR]; they basically created a mob-swarm
08:49 schestowitz[TR]; so they can throw toys at people... and sob from their pram
08:50 schestowitz[TR]; theirC&C is not a single person
08:50 schestowitz[TR]; but corporations subsidise this beehive
08:50 immibis; corporations bully everyone who can write C?
08:50 schestowitz[TR]; and hence many people out there upset
08:50 schestowitz[TR]; not right-leaning people
08:50 schestowitz[TR]; but left-leaning too
08:50 immibis; well, corporations bully everyone, but specifically people who write C?
08:50 schestowitz[TR]; they attack communities
08:51 schestowitz[TR]; it's about money
08:51 schestowitz[TR]; not political views
08:51 schestowitz[TR]; and whether the money controls the code
08:51 schestowitz[TR]; the monopolies vs the Commons
08:51 immibis; okay so google insulted linus's clothing choices because they want a monopoly on linux?
08:51 schestowitz[TR]; linux is now more or less (unoficially) controlled by GPL foes
08:51 schestowitz[TR]; they just aboutt 'tolerate' gplv2
08:51 schestowitz[TR]; they have to
08:52 schestowitz[TR]; no, gulag inc. does its thing with rust
08:52 schestowitz[TR]; and created a corporate coalition
08:52 schestowitz[TR]; also via mozilla
08:52 immibis; fwiw one fuschia developer is a chanop on libera #osdev
08:52 schestowitz[TR]; android still depends on linux
08:52 schestowitz[TR]; it's BIG business for gulag
08:52 schestowitz[TR]; fuschia is many false promises
08:52 schestowitz[TR]; like wayland
08:53 schestowitz[TR]; they always promise "Real soon" now
08:53 schestowitz[TR]; and it never happens
08:53 immibis; btw how do we fix X without making it wayland
08:53 schestowitz[TR]; like many microisoft products
08:53 schestowitz[TR]; e.g. bing
08:53 schestowitz[TR]; X is mostly OK
08:53 schestowitz[TR]; it is mature and still being patched
08:53 schestowitz[TR]; wayland creates new types of problems
08:53 schestowitz[TR]; as does systemd
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; the problem is not yours
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; they are corporate problems
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; they don't control it all
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; communities maintain many bigs
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; and they want to control the whole chain instead
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; rust for example
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; centralisede
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; canonical had a go at it too
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; mir
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; unity
08:54 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Microsoft is behind this Unified Kernel Image thing too.
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; etc etc
08:55 DaemonFC; Lennart Poettering suggested it after they hired him.
08:55 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: systemd
08:55 DaemonFC; And Fedora 38 will start moving to it.
08:55 schestowitz[TR]; yeha, I noticed
08:55 schestowitz[TR]; and phoronix keeps shilling it
08:56 immibis; schestowitz[TR]: there's a good walkthrough of X somewhere in a blog post with interactive javascript simulations and everything; it explains the history of compositing leading up to why X needs to be redesigned and why it got redesigned into wayland

08:58 schestowitz[TR]; immibis: wayland is far from rewady
08:58 mjg59_; It's an assertion you just made
08:58 mjg59_; You ought to be able to justify it
08:58 schestowitz[TR]; andit has been shilled by phoronix for ages
08:58 schestowitz[TR]; which is not a good site
08:58 schestowitz[TR]; mostly 'cui bono'
08:58 schestowitz[TR]; people who try wayland typically say, "no! not yet"
08:58 schestowitz[TR]; and the more experienced they are, the more likely that is to happen
08:58 schestowitz[TR]; mjg59_: rianne's gut feeling
08:58 schestowitz[TR]; and likely true
08:59 schestowitz[TR]; you camped in this network for years digging 'dirt'
08:59 mjg59_; It's Rianne's gut feeling that people harassed Linus for wearing a bathrobe?
08:59 schestowitz[TR]; even many channel all at once
08:59 schestowitz[TR]; go back to your bathrobe
08:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0

08:59 immibis_; [09:58] <schestowitz[TR]> immibis: wayland is far from rewady sure, I can easily accept it doesn't work well, but that doesn't mean it isn't needed. It's like saying shaders are new so let's stick to fixed function pipelines
09:00 mjg59_; 08:47 < schestowitz[TR]> 4. after he had said he wears a bathrobe sometimes
09:00 schestowitz[TR]; immibis: for now it is causing disruption
09:00 schestowitz[TR]; I cannot even ssh -X hostname
09:00 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR]: Then your distro is fucked
09:00 mjg59_; X forwarding works fine with Xwayland
09:00 immibis_; or the fixed function emulation code is full of disruptive bugs so instead of using shader hardware graphics cards should stay fixed function
09:00 schestowitz[TR]; what about xinput
09:01 schestowitz[TR]; and many x tools?
09:01 schestowitz[TR]; They are not ported over
09:01 schestowitz[TR]; so anyway, they need to do more work
09:01 schestowitz[TR]; LP used to blame ubuntu for PA sucking
09:01 mjg59_; Anyway, who criticised Linus for wearing a bathrobe?
09:01 schestowitz[TR]; now PA is almost compulsory
09:01 schestowitz[TR]; if you want firefox for instance
09:02 immibis_; Once a system has accumulated enough crufty workarounds should it not be replaced with a new system that incorporates them directly into the core of the system in a non crufty generalized way?
09:02 schestowitz[TR]; most users just want to get work done
09:02 mjg59_; The X core protocol is a poor match for modern hardware
09:02 schestowitz[TR]; they are not Windows users
09:02 schestowitz[TR]; Windows causes lots of disruptrion
09:02 schestowitz[TR]; reboots, updates, ransom...
09:02 schestowitz[TR]; wayland is a PITA
09:03 schestowitz[TR]; and people never asked for it
09:03 mjg59_; And it's also not a great protocol for just forwarding pixmaps over the wire
09:03 schestowitz[TR]; because the problems it claims to solve don't appeal to m,ost people
09:03 immibis_; Shaders are a pita, too
09:03 schestowitz[TR]; like PA with volume control split by applicaiton
09:03 schestowitz[TR]; I could just use volume control in xxmms
09:03 immibis_; But they're inevitable
09:03 schestowitz[TR]; no need to PA to budge in
09:03 mjg59_; Yeah literally nobody wants 30-bit graphics
09:03 schestowitz[TR]; same in today's audacious
09:03 mjg59_; Oh, wait
09:03 schestowitz[TR]; and I even mess with the equallizer
09:03 schestowitz[TR]; PA cannot do that
09:03 mjg59_; Never mind, literally nobody wants HDR
09:03 mjg59_; Oh, wait
09:04 immibis_; Do you keep adding specific flags to alter specific parts of the rendering pipeline in specific ways, or do you just say, okay the pipeline is fully programmable now, write whatever you want?
09:04 mjg59_; Eh it's fine I'm sure nobody wants the ability to have different scaling factors per output
09:04 mjg59_; Oh, wait
09:04 schestowitz[TR]; DRM too
09:04 schestowitz[TR]; yeah, let's do this -gulag troll
09:05 immibis_; It doesn't have to be Wayland but you do have to update X somehow to eliminate the steaming pile of hacks
09:05 schestowitz[TR]; x code is neatt
09:05 schestowitz[TR]; and easy to maintain
09:05 schestowitz[TR]; it; is mature
09:05 mjg59_; Hahahahahahaha fucking hell
09:05 schestowitz[TR]; and secirty bugs are handled quickly
09:05 mjg59_; Chunks of X are still K&R C
09:05 mjg59_; It is not neat
09:05 schestowitz[TR]; C is good
09:05 mjg59_; It is not easy to maintain
09:05 mjg59_; K&R C is *not* good
09:05 immibis_; But does it do the right thing?
09:06 mjg59_; That's why nobody's written it for decades
09:06 techuser; < techuser> Why would one hate trans people?
09:06 techuser; < schestowitz[TR]> ask mjg
09:06 techuser; mjg59_: ^

09:07 immibis_; Don't most UI frameworks just send pixels to the X server because all the X drawing commands suck?
09:07 techuser; Was something misleading told?
09:07 mjg59_; People who were involved in writing X in the 80s no longer want to write X
09:07 immibis_; And they use shared memory to do that
09:07 mjg59_; immibis_: Yes
09:07 TR News; This morning: Wayland no good. Goodbye. https://cubiclenate.com/2023/01/13/wayland-is-so-close-back-on-x11/
09:07 TR Bot; is So Close | Back on X11 CubicleNate's Techpad
09:08 mjg59_; techuser: When I was a bunch younger I said some stuff that was transphobic. Turns out that was a bad thing for me to do!
09:08 schestowitz[TR]; Wayland is So Close -2014
09:08 schestowitz[TR]; Wayland is So Close -2015
09:08 schestowitz[TR]; Wayland is So Close -2015
09:08 schestowitz[TR]; Wayland is So Close -2016
09:08 schestowitz[TR]; ...
09:08 immibis_; So obviously X doesn't meet the actual needs of actual applications
09:08 schestowitz[TR]; Wayland is So Close -2023
09:08 mjg59_; immibis_: To be fair, Wayland is largely a mechanism for applications to just send pixels to a compositor
09:08 techuser; So why attack people for the past activity that doesn't happen anymore?
09:09 TR News; "I dont ever like to talk negatively about a project as I never want to demotivate anyone with their labor of love" https://cubiclenate.com/2023/01/13/wayland-is-so-close-back-on-x11/ Source: CubicleNate | Gemini address: gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/waffle.cgi/view?https%3A//cubiclenate.com/2023/01/13/wayland-is-so-close-back-on-x11/
09:09 immibis_; That seems to be the problem with Wayland - it does what people want on the output side but I think the input side and the actual compositing are insufficiently configurable?
09:09 TR News; Wayland is NOT "labour of love" but corporate work done by people on massive salaries!
09:09 immibis_; Like if you have a taskbar window, in X you say: hey I go at the bottom of the screen and X says OK
09:10 immibis_; In Wayland the compositor has to specially recognize the taskbar window
09:10 mjg59_; immibis_: The input stuff is largely because Wayland just tries to push responsibility for config to generic layers, and X made it easier to have weird custom input drivers that sat between X and the kernel
09:10 immibis_; Or something like that
09:11 immibis_; It's also silly that a compositor should have to do anything besides compositing
09:11 mjg59_; immibis_: In the Wayland universe, the compositor *is* the window manager, and the assumption is that task managers integrate with that
09:11 TR News; "The virtual Keyboard Mouse application called Synergy and its fork Barrier still doesnt work with Wayland." YET ANOTHER DEAL BREAKER. For those who use BOTH in tandem. https://cubiclenate.com/2023/01/13/wayland-is-so-close-back-on-x11/
09:11 immibis_; It would probably make sense to have a central server just so you can swap out your compositor without killing every running app
09:12 mjg59_; immibis_: But the X universe didn't have that coupling, which meant it was easier to write something that could behave "weirdly"
09:12 TR News; Wayland: goodbye, xinput. Bye, xdotool. "WHY YOU STILL USE THEM!!" xbindkeys etc. Wayland creates more problems than it solves.
09:12 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR]: Who criticised Linus for wearing a bathrobe?
09:13 immibis_; That's a really dumb take on Wayland
09:13 immibis_; It's like saying the problem with shaders is you can't run glGetLightingParams
09:13 TR News; "Plasma is not something that crashes so hard it requires user intervention. Sure, Plasma can hiccup but it usually restores itself without losing any work. Suddenly, with Wayland, I would look away for a moment and there would be nothing on my desktop. No applications, sometimes not even a panel at the bottom." https://cubiclenate.com/2023/01/13/wayland-is-so-close-back-on-x11/
09:13 TR Bot; is So Close | Back on X11 CubicleNate's Techpad

09:13 mjg59_; techuser: You'd have to ask Roy that
09:13 TR News; "If this happened only occasionally, I would have largely ignored it but its frequency dramatically increased and so did my frustration. I searched for other individuals having the same difficulties but nothing seemed to be fitting and I needed to use my computer." https://cubiclenate.com/2023/01/13/wayland-is-so-close-back-on-x11/
09:13 techuser; (deadlock)
09:14 DaemonFC; <mjg59_> It's Rianne's gut feeling that people harassed Linus for wearing a bathrobe?
09:14 mjg59_; techuser: But in the general case: I think it's completely fair to ask people about things they said or did in the past
09:14 TR News; Wayland and Windows start with W and both have a similar effect on user productivity.
09:14 TR News; "It would just be dead. Sometimes Krunner would be unresponsive. The only thing I could do was jump to a TTY and force the computer to reboot." https://cubiclenate.com/2023/01/13/wayland-is-so-close-back-on-x11/
09:14 DaemonFC; It's my gut feeling that with a few million more years of evolution, even mjg59_'s lineage might evolve into a human being if he had a lineage.
09:14 DaemonFC; But I'm not a failed biologist so that's just my opinion, really.
09:15 mjg59_; techuser: If their past behaviour doesn't match their current feelings they should be able to explain why they were wrong and why they don't hold that opinion now
09:15 TR News; "For me, I will have to stick with yesterdays display server. It saddens me because I like to use the new shiny but the new shiny isnt ready for me." https://cubiclenate.com/2023/01/13/wayland-is-so-close-back-on-x11/

09:16 mjg59_; Yeah wanting to kill Debian by having conversations about how to avoid python-numpy depending on multiple versions of python simultaneously
09:16 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> reboots, updates, ransom...
09:16 schestowitz[TR]; Firefox?
09:16 DaemonFC; I was explaining EFI implants to the eye doctor.

09:16 schestowitz[TR]; Firefox does not force reboots

09:17 DaemonFC; Vivaldi cleans up some of the more unpleasant parts about Chromium.

09:19 DaemonFC; Which is also Chrome's default behavior.
09:19 immibis_; like what are you talking about. Customers want sync so Firefox has to have sync but if you don't want sync then don't turn it on
09:19 DaemonFC; Vivaldi forces you to use your Vivaldi account password and one that only you have.
09:19 DaemonFC; If you want to use Sync at all, that is.

09:22 DaemonFC; Again.
09:22 immibis_; Now do Google,. daemonFC

09:23 DaemonFC; I'm glad I gave up Debian before mjg59_ came back because I'd just have to do everything now and at least that's out of the way.
09:23 mjg59_; Good point I should get back to contributing to Fedora
09:23 mjg59_; Bunch of interesting secure boot work to do there
09:23 immibis_; Oh no! A capitalist economic entity is trying to make money by advertising products!
09:23 DaemonFC; In addition to being a saboteur and a head case in general, he's going to help steer them into the rocks on technical issues too.
09:23 immibis_; Wait until you find out what Google does
09:23 immibis_; Google does worse than advertise someone else's product
09:24 DaemonFC; They didn't need any help with that.
09:24 DaemonFC; They always figure out how to just do what Fedora does and make it inexplicably more unstable than Fedora.
09:24 schestowitz[TR]; immibis: false choce
09:24 schestowitz[TR]; but the issue here, many sites mandates google clones or moz
09:24 DaemonFC; Then Ubuntu grabs that and continues fucking shit up.
09:24 schestowitz[TR]; *mandate
09:24 schestowitz[TR]; so www as a whole becomes bad
09:24 DaemonFC; So it's like this cascade of fucking shit up.
09:25 immibis_; And your solution is to use a Google clone instead of moz

15:31 XRevan86; schestowitz: "now PA is almost compulsory" <- Still can't get used to PipeWire superseding PulseAudio? :)
15:32 MinceR; pipewire uses a PA API, doesn't it?
15:33 XRevan86; MinceR: Wayland uses X.org API. Well, to the extent that Xwayland is not as good at the job as pipewire-pulse is.
15:33 MinceR; xwayland isn't really the API they're pushing for the use of waylandows
15:34 XRevan86; MinceR: PipeWire has native API.
15:34 MinceR; does failfox support pipewire directly yet?
15:34 XRevan86; MinceR: It might in the future, there's no immediate need.
15:35 MinceR; so the tyrants running mozilla still try to dictate what audio API you use, but now pipewire can fulfill that requirement, at least for a while
15:35 MinceR; still sounds very compulsory to me
15:38 XRevan86; MinceR: "at least for a while" <- Why would that be when PulseAudio is already being abandoned?

15:43 XRevan86; Linux is becoming more accessible to the sound freaks :)
15:43 MinceR; no, the only group Linux is becoming more accessible to is its corporate owners
15:44 XRevan86; MinceR: I'm not affiliated with IBM in any shape or form and I used that word.
15:46 XRevan86; "x code is neat" <- Uh
15:47 MinceR; you're misled by IM
15:47 XRevan86; X11 is a steaming pile of shit, it's just well-established.
15:47 XRevan86; Maybe not steaming, rock-solid.
15:47 MinceR; it's still the least shitty windowing system in the world
15:48 MinceR; and as long as waylandows insists on its current principles, it will never be able to replace it
15:48 XRevan86; I use it because I can't be bothered with Wayland.
15:48 MinceR; i use it because no other windowing system can function the way i want it to
15:49 XRevan86; MinceR: "you're misled by IM" <- In what way?
15:49 MinceR; you buy the pipewire marketing
15:50 MinceR; disregarding that it's just poetteringaudio attempt 2
15:50 XRevan86; MinceR: I bought into its marketing before it was marketed.
15:50 MinceR; and that it's controlled by IM
15:50 MinceR; and we've already seen where leverage by IM leads
15:52 XRevan86; MinceR: And WirePlumber is developed by people in Collabora.
15:53 XRevan86; No one told them "wait, no, the session manager (where all the decision-making is done) must be maintained by the IBM employees".
15:53 MinceR; on "freedesktop" infrastructure
15:53 MinceR; with the support of "freedesktop"
15:53 XRevan86; MinceR: Is that where X.org is situated?
15:54 MinceR; i see at least 20 people from collabora who tried to cancel RMS
15:54 MinceR; and then i stopped counting
15:54 MinceR; i don't know what happened to x.org
15:55 MinceR; afaik the people who were supposed to maintain x.org don't understand X so they started waylandows instead
15:55 XRevan86; MinceR: Does that mean all these companies are part of one hidden megacompany who's goal is to control the world through cancelling RMS?
15:55 MinceR; no
15:56 MinceR; it means that companies like collabora work for a couple of megacorporations that are trying to destroy free software
15:56 MinceR; and one of the means they chose to do that is to try to take over FSF
15:56 MinceR; RMS and the board is in their way, so they tried to cancel them
15:56 MinceR; they also regularly harrass other free software projects
15:57 MinceR; sometimes they lobby projects to adopt coraline ada ehmke's CoC
15:57 MinceR; sometimes they bother people for using certain technical terms like 'master'
15:58 XRevan86; MinceR: And here I thought that was virtue signalling.
15:59 XRevan86; MinceR: Here's a question: do IBM and Collabora actually care about FSF?
15:59 MinceR; IM probably does
16:00 MinceR; like MICROS~1, they probably wish they could just copy code from copylefted projects into proprietary products
16:00 MinceR; and if they took over the FSF and released a GPLv4 that's actually a permissive license, they could do that with every "or later" licensed project
16:00 MinceR; plus they could do whatever they liked with anything that has copyrights assigned to the FSF
16:01 MinceR; crApple also wishes they could do this
16:01 XRevan86; MinceR: So which GPLv2+ code are they eye-ing?
16:01 MinceR; dunno
16:01 MinceR; maybe even they don't know it yet
16:02 XRevan86; If they have a plan, they should have a plan.
16:02 MinceR; it would be madness to publicly announce such plans
16:03 MinceR; iirc GCC had copyright assignment at least until recently
16:03 XRevan86; There's Clang
16:03 MinceR; maybe the suits don't like LLVM so much and want to use GCC instead

16:13 XRevan86; MinceR: They don't need to touch FSF.
16:13 MinceR; they could have probably gotten the US government to ban it, but that would mean 1. they would no longer have access to gratis work and 2. free software would still exist in other countries and empower them
16:13 MinceR; the FSF is pretty important in this battle, symbolically

20:23 DaemonFC; "If you suspect someone is overdosing on marijuana, call 911."
20:23 DaemonFC; LOL
20:23 DaemonFC; They can't name a single person who has ever died of a pot overdose.
20:23 DaemonFC; But please call 911 so the police can come arrest them.
20:23 DaemonFC; I ain't no fackin' narc!
20:24 XRevan86; I need clarification on the wording. Is it like "oh shit, the teen's coming home and there's marijuana everywhere, I need to hide it quickly" or something else?
20:25 DaemonFC; XRevan86, There's generally two reasons why the government wants you to "seek help" if your teen is using marijuana.
20:25 DaemonFC; So they can slap them in handcuffs while you thought you were taking them to get help.
20:25 DaemonFC; And so they can bill you for "rehab" which is just some total grift, of course.
20:25 XRevan86; Ah, teen's marijuana, got it.
20:25 DaemonFC; Most teenagers smoke pot a few times and it's no big deal.
20:26 DaemonFC; They grow out of it, it never affects their life again.
20:26 DaemonFC; But we have all of this junk science floating around because of the drug war.
20:27 DaemonFC; Plus, government (law enforcement) propaganda that is quite unscientific, but they openly lie because that's what the cops do, and if you question it, it draws suspicion so nobody does.
20:28 DaemonFC; If you call the police out, at best they might ignore you, at worst, they may open up a file on you with or without your knowledge and bad things can start happening for no discernible reason, you know.
20:29 DaemonFC; Cops have told me, straight to my face, that they don't have anything on someone, but he's "known to the police" and so they "watch him" to wait for him to do something.
20:29 DaemonFC; Many of Gonad's relatives in Huntington, Indiana are in the "files" of the local police.
20:29 DaemonFC; They become people of interest because the police see their faces all the time over something, so...
20:30 DaemonFC; They make note of what car they drive, and they watch their social media accounts, and they find reasons to pull them over a lot.
20:30 DaemonFC; For things they usually let slide when you're not interesting to them.
20:30 DaemonFC; Get it?
20:30 DaemonFC; They figure out ways to get into the house.
20:31 DaemonFC; Most of them have kids, so the cops and social workers show up to the house. They could never get a search warrant, but when there's a kid in the house "someone can make an anonymous complaint" about your parenting.
20:31 DaemonFC; And there really is nobody. The police just want to go in there, so they get on the Social Services Web site and file an anonymous complaint themselves.
20:31 DaemonFC; Then they show up at the door demanding to be let in. And if you don't, they tell a judge there's a kid in the house that could be in danger.
20:32 geert; war on drugs seems kind of scam to me
20:32 DaemonFC; XRevan86, When I was angry about my mom having the affair and running off to live with Gonad, you know what I did?
20:32 DaemonFC; I figured out ways to harass them from behind-the-scenes.
20:33 XRevan86; DaemonFC: Would be weird if I did? %)
20:33 geert; abuse of state of law means, utilizing/stimulating inequality instead of strive for equality
20:33 geert; who can tell others what to take or not to take without placing him/herself above others?
20:33 geert; without damage, that means kind of uber/untermensch crap
20:33 DaemonFC; I did things like call social services from a payphone and say that I witnessed Brian striking my brother and I was a concerned member of the public, but I didn't want to leave my name because I lived nearby and didn't want any trouble.
20:34 geert; state of law should mitigate damage issues, where people want damaging others as their income, either physically or materialistically
20:34 DaemonFC; So they were in there investigating physical abuse, sexual abuse. They have to investigate everything.
20:34 geert; taking drugs is not damaging others
20:34 DaemonFC; So the cops were there going through their house with a social worker once in a while for months.
20:35 geert; things like that
20:35 DaemonFC; And I figured at the very least it would be uncomfortable, and both of them had to be there, so it meant calling out of work to deal with Child Services, again.
20:35 geert; err income should be advantage*
20:35 DaemonFC; And there's a cop sticking his nose into everything and maybe he'd see something while he was in there.
20:36 DaemonFC; And they'd get split up and "interviewed" separately about allegations.
20:36 DaemonFC; And if they didn't cooperate, then Child Services could take them to court.
20:37 DaemonFC; If there had been any decency at all left in Indiana in 1999 they would have put my mother on a criminal Adultery trial.
20:38 DaemonFC; But they don't enforce that in most states anymore, so it doesn't matter what evidence there is if they won't do anything about it.
20:39 DaemonFC; Whenever she calls me a criminal, I said, "You know, if you did what you did, you'd be on the bench facing a felony for Adultery in 18 states if they wanted to pursue it. You should be glad this country is coming apart or they'd have had YOU behind bars for a few years and you'd never get your nursing license back."
20:40 DaemonFC; In Michigan, Adultery is a felony, and felons can't get most professional licenses, including a nurse.
20:40 DaemonFC; So if they wanted to pursue adultery against someone and convicted them, they would have their nursing license revoked forever.
20:40 DaemonFC; The law regulating nursing licenses just says "a felony conviction". It doesn't make exceptions.
20:41 DaemonFC; So in any decently-ran state, she would have been out on her ass working at Cinnabon with three sets of dockers and a parole officer.
20:41 DaemonFC; So I can't believe she wants to constantly remind me of a misdemeanor.

21:13 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:13 DaemonFC; Under Texas law, I could sue my mother for $10,000 under a sworn statement that on or about 1997, I read her diary, where she confessed, in her own handwriting, to having an abortion.
21:13 DaemonFC; Consider that neither one of us has ever lived in Texas and I could still file a lawsuit against her, in Texas, with that little to go on.
21:13 DaemonFC; I don't even need the diary. I swear that I read that and it was her handwriting.
21:13 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
21:13 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:13 DaemonFC; Texas has shown how crazy lawsuits are in the United States.
21:13 DaemonFC; To file a lawsuit in a civilized country, you need what's called a "nexus" to that legal system.
21:13 DaemonFC; In other words, something happened in Texas, or I live in Texas, or she lives in Texas, but nothing ever happened in Texas and my mom and I have never lived in Texas, and yet I can go to Texas and sue my mother claiming that I read her diary in 1997 in Indiana and it said that something happened in Indiana in 1973.

21:21 bagira; MinceR, yeah def a libera nazi i just can't tell if he's associated with a major project or the network staff circles, first impression is random autist swallowing bird-fed narratives looking for a way to be relevant by spreading more hate
21:23 bagira; the world has no shortage of people who sacrifice their ability to contribute meaningfully by forgoing individual critical thought for appeals to group identity to hide under the blanket provided by actual contributors
21:33 DaemonFC; "You went straight to the dark side. You didn't even fight it!"
21:33 DaemonFC; :)
21:33 MinceR; pretty sure i started on the dark side
21:34 MinceR; i don't remember a time when i would have thought that killing bad guys with magical powers couldn't possibly serve the cause of good
21:34 DaemonFC; "I've only seen this once before. It didn't terrify me enough then. It does now."
21:34 MinceR; or that such powers should not be researched, understood and developed further, given an opportunity
21:35 DaemonFC; Well, it's established that the Jedi were, in fact, wrong.
21:35 MinceR; i also consider it laughable that doing the same thing to droids is treated entirely differently
21:35 DaemonFC; By Luke Skywalker and Yoda (force ghost).
21:35 MinceR; even if the droids have heuristic processors
21:36 DaemonFC; Luke said that the Jedi were so arrogant that at the height of their power, Darth Sidious was able to proclaim himself Emperor and kill them all without much of a challenge, and they didn't even see it coming.
21:36 DaemonFC; And Yoda called down Force Lightning to burn the "sacred Jedi texts" saying "Valuable lessons they contain, yes, but page turners they are not.".
21:37 MinceR; lol
21:37 MinceR; maybe the valuable lesson was that jedi ideals should be ignored
21:38 DaemonFC; The Jedi came close to destroying the Sith.
21:38 DaemonFC; But....
21:38 DaemonFC; The Sith developed the "Rule of Two" to deliberately hide in the shadows and go unnoticed.
21:38 DaemonFC; The Jedi eventually became ineffectual and bureaucratic.
21:38 MinceR; later they abolished the rule of two
21:39 MinceR; and then disney abolished the part of the story where they did that
21:39 DaemonFC; Well, technically.
21:39 bagira; gotta love the war machine called disney
21:39 MinceR; i can't love it
21:39 DaemonFC; Sidious (clone) was on Exegol.
21:39 DaemonFC; But nobody knew that.
21:39 MinceR; i mean, officially
21:39 DaemonFC; Except his cult.
21:39 MinceR; for example, Darth Krayt had a "One Sith" or something, instead
21:40 DaemonFC; The First Order was a ruse. And Snoke didn't count as a Sith.
21:40 DaemonFC; Because he was a meatpuppet of Sidious.
21:40 MinceR; you could say it was all Snoke and mirrors.
21:40 DaemonFC; Yes.
21:40 DaemonFC; Remember that some of the officers in the First Order didn't want to be absorbed into the Final Order.
21:41 DaemonFC; They wanted to launch an attack on the Sith Fleet while it was still vulnerable and kill Sidious.
21:41 MinceR; resistance is futile
21:41 DaemonFC; It makes sense.
21:42 DaemonFC; The First Order is already militarily powerful enough at this point that without any competition left for supremacy, they can continue taking over the Galaxy without Palpatine.
21:42 DaemonFC; What do they need him or his fleet for?
21:42 DaemonFC; If they let him live, then he'll be in charge, not them.
21:42 DaemonFC; That's not good for them.
21:43 DaemonFC; Why would you want to throw in with someone that has nothing you need and will force you to play second fiddle if you give him the chance to finish becoming stronger than you?
21:43 MinceR; "you're no good for me, i don't need nobody. don't need no one, that's no good for me!"
21:44 DaemonFC; Pretty much.
21:44 DaemonFC; MinceR, I've noticed that most people you run into are actually broken, burned out, empty shells of a person.
21:44 DaemonFC; Most.
21:45 DaemonFC; It may not look like that at first, but if you hang around long enough, that's what's going on behind the facade.
21:45 MinceR; we have a society that does that
21:45 DaemonFC; Yep.
21:46 DaemonFC; There's a Big Lie that's being promoted for everyone to hear.
21:46 DaemonFC; That it's "Just You".
21:46 MinceR; might be wishful thinking
21:46 DaemonFC; If you just do this, and if you just say that, and if you just pay this guy, and if you just swallow those pills, they'll get you all squared away.

22:58 DaemonFC; I bought a 2015 Vizio and a month later, a MONTH, the picture goes out. You can hear them talking but no picture.
22:58 DaemonFC; So I call Vizio and they have some people come out to the house and set up a replacement TV.
22:58 DaemonFC; I go, "That's not the same TV, is it?".
22:58 DaemonFC; They said, "No, Vizio stopped making that one you just bought because it was Black Friday crap. This one's an inch bigger and it has more HDMI ports.".

22:59 DaemonFC; I realize I'm on borrowed time with my Vizio. I've got a 2015 Vizio that somehow made it more than a couple months.
22:59 DaemonFC; I don't plan to buy another Vizio because since then they got sued for spying on what you watch (even over the antenna) if you give it Internet access, and they had to roll out an update for that.
22:59 DaemonFC; Then they got sued as a GPL violator.
22:59 DaemonFC; So no more Vizios if this one craps out.
