00:03 TR News; "I have given a try on wayland and it works in my notebook (Gigabyte p34v5) when using only the Intel gpu (/dev/dri/card0) and mesa. Now I have been trying to make it work with the Nvidia gpu (GeForce GTX 970M, /dev/dri/card1) using proprietary driver." http://lamarque-lvs.blogspot.com/2021/12/nvidia-optimus-with-wayland-help-needed.html

00:05 TR News; The occupation of #lawyers even outside the realms of #patents and #copyrights (so-called IP lawyers) is a net negative; this 2-part video highlights older and newer examples of that Techrights http://techrights.org/2021/12/25/timewasting-letters/ #Techrights | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/12/25/timewasting-letters/

00:14 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, The state passed a completely useless law about prescription drugs.

00:15 DaemonFC; It says that pharmacies have to post a sign informing you that you can ask what the retail price of a prescription drug is.

00:15 TR Bot; Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Science

00:15 DaemonFC; You could always do that. Further, nobody in their right mind pays retail. Because we have insurance and PBM programs that negotiate the prices down.

00:15 DaemonFC; The retail price is there as an opening point in negotiations.

00:18 DaemonFC; MinceR, The "price" of my antibiotics that I took last week for the bronchitis was $36.99 for 6 pills, generic, retail, at CVS. I paid $3.70 with my insurance. Had I not had insurance, I would have had the doctor call them into Jewel Osco and then used a GoodRX coupon for $9.37.

00:18 DaemonFC; So there's quite a spread.

00:19 DaemonFC; Technically, if you wanted the worst deal or just didn't know any better, you could walk into Walgreens and pay $40.

00:19 DaemonFC; Jewel and Walgreens are next door.

00:19 DaemonFC; So you could go over there and pay 4 times as much for your prescription.

00:19 DaemonFC; Mandy needed antibiotic eardrops at one point.

00:20 DaemonFC; Walgreens, cash, was $186. Walgreens with a coupon was $118. Jewel with a coupon was $20.

00:20 DaemonFC; I had them transfer the prescription to Jewel.

00:26 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, Now mom even says Trump might be lying about being vaccinated and getting the booster.

00:26 schestowitz__[TR]; it's not Trump

00:26 DaemonFC; She said, "I don't think Biden really took the vaccine." I said, "Trump said this week that he took the vaccine and the booster.".

00:26 schestowitz__[TR]; it's a body double ;-)

00:27 DaemonFC; "Who knows what any of them took. Nobody got to see what was really in the vial."

00:27 schestowitz__[TR]; for the jabs that turn you into a reptile ;)

00:27 DaemonFC; Trump is really turning off his own base here.

00:27 DaemonFC; He's pushing a vaccine that they've developed conspiracy theories about.

00:28 DaemonFC; And so now he's "in on it".

00:28 DaemonFC; I just don't think it's a very very strong vaccine and of course, the damned virus mutates.

00:28 DaemonFC; So it's not what we hoped for. Things just work out that way sometimes.

00:28 schestowitz__[TR]; DaemonFC: "MARK OF THE BEAST!"

00:28 DaemonFC; She said that too at one point.

00:28 schestowitz__[TR]; The bible PREDICTED OBAMA AND TRUMP ;-)

00:29 DaemonFC; The bible didn't mention the UK, the US, Canada, New Zealand, or China, oddly enough.

00:30 DaemonFC; It didn't mention France, but if that was all, you could forgive them. Nobody wants to mention France.

00:31 DaemonFC; The same WSJ that said that Omicron was already slowing down the economy, that hotel occupancy was 53% this week.

00:31 DaemonFC; That restaurant seatings were down by 15%.

00:32 DaemonFC; Christmas sales aren't in yet, but were trending lower than they were at in 2019 by quite a bit.

00:32 DaemonFC; The last "normal" year.

00:33 schestowitz__[TR]; Booming

00:33 schestowitz__[TR]; goes BOOM

00:33 DaemonFC; To people who have nothing to do with the low Christmas sales.

00:33 DaemonFC; Like, whenever sales are bad it's like "Let's indiscriminately punish everyone who works here. Fire the store manager! Cut grocery pickup even though that's doing well!".

00:35 schestowitz__[TR]; Hey, Rupe! They lack money!

00:38 DaemonFC; No, no, Roy, you're getting it wrong!

00:38 DaemonFC; They are choosing not to shop.

00:39 DaemonFC; They still have credit cards from when they were employed. They could load those up if they wanted to.

00:39 DaemonFC; How selfish of them.

00:41 DaemonFC; Load up the cards. Hang themselves after Christmas before the bill arrives.

00:41 DaemonFC; Government bails out Capital One.

00:41 DaemonFC; They can be useful one last time.

00:42 schestowitz-TR2; sorry, my bad

00:42 schestowitz-TR2; if you gov. can build up decades worth of debt

00:42 schestowitz-TR2; so should families

00:43 schestowitz-TR2; it's very selfish not to "support the economy" by borrowing and endlessly paying lenders with interest

05:04 DaemonFC; That's the issue here.

05:05 DaemonFC; Farmers (actual farmers) know that the USDA is the most Communist thing that's ever happened in the US.

05:05 DaemonFC; And it's probably like the second biggest money sink after the Pentagon.

05:06 DaemonFC; There's really no other word for the USDA than Communist. It plans what crops will be grown, quotas for farm animals, sometimes pays them not to do anything.

05:06 DaemonFC; It's Kafkaesque and ridiculous.

05:07 DaemonFC; If you repeal most of that and let the market decide what it wants to do for food, then I think people would gravitate away from meat and dairy on their own.

05:07 DaemonFC; Because milk would be closer to $8 a gallon.

06:05 DaemonFC; "Nevermind. I'll just build a movie theater."

06:05 DaemonFC; The price of a ticket where I lived in Indiana is still $6.50, every day.

06:06 DaemonFC; Which is up from what it was in 2002. It was $5 then.

06:06 DaemonFC; For a while, the cost of a movie ticket just kept going up and up and then all of a sudden it didn't go very much anymore.

06:06 DaemonFC; I'm starting to think it's the end of the movie theater business.

06:07 DaemonFC; The Marcus one that charges $5 on Tuesday and $18.70 every other day is desperate for business and setting aside spare theaters for people who want to impose a vaccine passport on themselves.

06:08 DaemonFC; But the reason they have extra theaters is because Hollywood isn't releasing very many good movies anymore, and what they do release goes to streaming in a month (which is cheaper than 1 ticket on most days).

06:09 DaemonFC; There's just no good reason to get in your car and drive over there and risk COVID and have a bunch of people smoking pot in the theater and pay big bucks.

06:10 DaemonFC; Back when movies came out on VHS tape, it used to be embargoed for like 4-6 months on purpose because people would go to the theater now and then buy the tape later.

06:10 DaemonFC; The long wait let the movie trickle down.

06:11 DaemonFC; They had physical reels of tape at the movies, and those weren't cheap to make. So rather than trash it after the theaters were done, they'd send it off to "dollar theaters".

06:11 DaemonFC; Mom and I used to go to the dollar theaters all the time on her days off because my dad didn't leave her with very much money out of her paycheck.

06:11 DaemonFC; But if you went to the dollar theater, it was $1 to get in.

06:12 DaemonFC; The math still worked back then, because minimum wage was a little over $4 an hour, so they could minimally staff and maintain the theater, and it was often the same person working tickets and concessions when it wasn't very busy.

18:14 activelow; seems GNU/Linux *intentionally* dropped support for legacy compilers; predating kernel v5.8 those compilers were recognized explicitely to adapt header macros

18:14 activelow; this happened in parallel to official clang support, which indicates the priorities of GNU/Linux

18:15 activelow; furthermore, the required macro changes i could identify and repair were unnecessary; the comments indicate the support was dropped for "better compile time performance" ... what an irony

18:18 activelow; i'm not finished yet, hope at least i can repair kernel v5.10LTS; sometime later GNU/Linux again bumped compiler requirements with kernel v5.15 to gcc-5.1 again, which i'll not follow anymore

18:19 activelow; anyway, GNU/Linux *explicitely* locked out compilers, except modern gcc(4.9/5.1 with c++) and llvm/clang(the rustification frontline)

18:20 activelow; and, this was NOT necessary to do so, i think; since XRevan86 asked. kernel devs didn't need to support older compilers (includign tinycc, gcc-4.7 and PCC), the support already existed and it was removed intentionally

18:20 activelow; insofar i do not care anymore, about the next escalation phase, when rustification of this begins; who want it shall have it and deserve it

20:13 schestowitz-TR2; it's his own thing, trademark-wise

20:14 XRevan86; schestowitz: Torvalds should fork Linux to remove all the modern stuff out of it. That way freedom will prevail.

20:14 schestowitz__[TR]; sarcasm?

20:14 activelow; 1) the macro is neither trivial to understand nor easily replaced with something C99 compliant, and furthermore 2) any C-compiler which supports C11 is written in C++ (gcc-4.9 and newer, or llvm/clang)... it sucks

20:14 XRevan86; schestowitz: Very heavy one :).

22:13 activelow; i think the _Generic C11 macros in include/linux/seqlock.h (present since kernel v5.9 v5.10/LTS) can be rewritten for C99 compliance and remain compatible with the interface

22:13 activelow; a neat programming task for christmas; and a reminder why i'll depart from GNU/Linux; no updates anymore.

22:14 XRevan86; activelow: Which OS will be your next?

22:14 XRevan86; The best part is that there's nowhere to run :)

22:15 XRevan86; Technically even Windows is built by a compiler that needs C++.

22:16 activelow; currently i am planning to retain linux v5.10LTS as the last kernel update ever made (maybe downgrade to v4.4SLTS which is scheduled for maitnenance until 2036, however kernel v4.4 doesn't support my hardware without other awful hacks)

22:16 activelow; and the last GNU compiler i acceptis gcc-4.7.4

22:17 activelow; probably, i'll waste my time with z80 hacking, asm; and not bother with any of the "high level" intellect emerging inside GNU/Linux
