00:09 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: "world's lab", rememver..
00:09 schestowitz-TR2; it's an experiment
00:10 schestowitz-TR2; and the sponsor wants the results look good
00:10 schestowitz-TR2; otherwise no discount..
00:10 schestowitz-TR2; bulk diuscount
00:10 schestowitz-TR2; a pileup of almost 30 million doses for less than 10 million people
00:10 schestowitz-TR2; while some countries get none
00:11 schestowitz-TR2; the "lab" is a priority

00:12 schestowitz__[TR]; this is suicide

00:13 schestowitz__[TR]; in the UK less than half took the booster
00:14 schestowitz__[TR]; over 20 million never even got two shots
00:14 schestowitz__[TR]; and nobody seems to get started with a first, except kids maybe
00:14 schestowitz__[TR]; which means it's the parents' idea
00:14 activelow; this is how many corona shots i will accept for myself: 0
00:15 activelow; the "vaccination centers" didn't at least the supposedly best researched vaccine anyway, which was CureVac (and not any other of the miracle tinctures)
00:15 activelow; the "vaccination cetners" didn't consider "pneumococcal vaccination" either, nor any advice if any.

00:22 schestowitz-TR2; maybe they get kickbacks
00:22 schestowitz-TR2; worth checking
00:22 DaemonFC; He stopped suggesting Rent Cafe after most of his tenants had the same reaction to it.

00:29 kingoffrance; well thats a reason "cashless" hasnt been thought through. check -- not legal tender -- noone is required to accept, to my knowledge. "cash" ( excepting 1000s of pennies perhaps), is legal tender. i mean, with "cashless" then the question is would there even be "legal tender" or will it all just be "negotiable" ?
00:29 kingoffrance; or will they make checks and credit card "legal tender" that you arent supposed to refuse?
00:30 kingoffrance; the only thing that makes "cash" "cash" is the legal tender deal
00:30 kingoffrance; if everything goes "cashless" where will that go?
00:34 Ariadne; schestowitz-TR2: Zelle is just the US equivalent to Europe's SEPA transfers
00:34 Ariadne; you can associate your bank account information with your phone number and email address, and use that to initiate an automated transfer without any fuss
00:36 Ariadne; the problem is that companies like PayPal and Square are trying to stop Zelle from being rolled out to all banks
00:36 Ariadne; so, some banks are set up for it, and others are not yet

00:50 DaemonFC; No, you are not required to accept a check.
00:51 DaemonFC; A check is just a promissory note, but unlike some handwritten IOU, there are legal consequences if it's not backed by enough money when the bearer presents it to the bank.
00:51 DaemonFC; Bad check laws are at the state level mostly, and the penalties for writing them vary.
00:52 DaemonFC; Interestingly, the criminal penalties for hot checks go away if you file bankruptcy while the prosecutor is bringing charges.
00:52 DaemonFC; The bankruptcy wipes out the underlying debt to the bearer of the check, and so the prosecutor can't proceed any further against you in court with the criminal charge.
00:53 DaemonFC; So holding a check potentially makes you an unsecured bankruptcy creditor.
00:53 DaemonFC; And filing bankruptcy can get you out of trouble with misdemeanor hot check prosecutions.

01:55 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, I just bought Mandy a couple pair of eyeglasses.
01:56 DaemonFC; $95 for two pair of the nicest ones they sell at Zenni.
01:56 DaemonFC; You'd pay about $450 for one pair like this at Walmart.
01:56 schestowitz-TR2; for the brand?
01:56 DaemonFC; But they'd give you the second pair half off. LOL
01:56 schestowitz-TR2; how much do they cost to make?
01:56 DaemonFC; Not much.
01:57 DaemonFC; Yeah, brands and they have an Elton John brand at Walmart now.
01:57 DaemonFC; They look as weird as he does.
01:57 schestowitz-TR2; they probably cost less than the price of the slave labour (sweatshops)
01:57 DaemonFC; That and they get you on the "upsell".
01:57 DaemonFC; Like, you can get special lens materials and coating.
01:57 schestowitz-TR2; sounds like marketing to idiots
01:58 DaemonFC; So you walk in there and Walmart's like "This pair is $60!" but then they are just talking about the frames.
01:58 DaemonFC; If you get basic plastic lenses with no coatings on them, it's maybe $80-90 a pair, but if you want polycarbonate lenses, transitions, etc....
01:58 DaemonFC; That's where the big bucks come in.
01:58 DaemonFC; Transitions alone adds over $200.
01:58 schestowitz-TR2; that's like advertising a car by the price of the chassis
01:59 DaemonFC; Yeah, you can get a pair of frames with no lenses.
01:59 DaemonFC; Why would you?
01:59 schestowitz-TR2; lol
01:59 DaemonFC; They'd do nothing. But you can, for $60.
01:59 schestowitz-TR2; "it's OK, I don't need car seats and roofs
01:59 schestowitz-TR2; just pack up a steering wheel
01:59 *schestowitz-TR2 goes looking at the plastic chairs section
01:59 DaemonFC; I don't need the transmission. I know when you're trying to take profit!
02:00 DaemonFC; I got my current glasses off eyebuydirect, but zenni is okay too.
02:00 DaemonFC; I got Mandy's from Zenni.

02:03 DaemonFC; I went up a millimeter each lens in width on the lenses this time.
02:03 DaemonFC; I've been a lot more comfortable wearing these all day than my last pair.

The workers are being screwed (wages down, inflation higher, fewer benefits, not many holidays/sick leave with 'gig economy' or even without it; a race to the bottom!). This year Xmas felt like nothing more than "another weekend" and NYE will be treated similarly.

03:33 schestowitz-TR2; I did report it to them
03:33 schestowitz-TR2; over email
03:33 schestowitz-TR2; with full name
03:33 schestowitz-TR2; they maybe took that as a tip-of
03:33 schestowitz-TR2; never got back to me
03:33 schestowitz-TR2; but tbh I very much doubt they just binned it
03:33 DaemonFC; The last thing they want is a scandal.
03:33 schestowitz-TR2; they probably have some procedures for these tough situations
03:34 DaemonFC; They're already the most hated federal agency other than the IRS.
03:34 schestowitz-TR2; well, not replying to me is a little scandal
03:34 schestowitz-TR2; I mentioned this many times
03:34 schestowitz-TR2; they only responded in Twitter
03:34 schestowitz-TR2; never in email
03:35 DaemonFC; He got written up over losing track of a pizza once.

03:35 DaemonFC; And they never found it.
03:35 DaemonFC; So they wrote him up and that stopped him from getting his raise that year.
03:36 DaemonFC; He also told me pretty much all of their procedures and how people could get things through airport security and he would constantly go on and on about how ghetto all of the black people he worked with were.

03:37 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, I got him in pretty serious financial trouble, you know.
03:37 DaemonFC; On a delayed reaction.
03:38 DaemonFC; When Trump shut down the government and he was working for almost 6 weeks without a paycheck, we took a loan from his retirement fund and deposited it in his bank account.
03:38 DaemonFC; I told him hold onto it and write them a check to pay it back right away if it turned out we didn't need it.
03:39 DaemonFC; So he spent it all, including a down payment on a _second_ car for himself.
03:40 DaemonFC; I don't suppose that he realized when he was in there telling the cops that I pulled a knife on his slam piece that I was going to have to move out, with my income, and that he'd get two car payments and rent on that apartment all by himself.
03:40 DaemonFC; Then he moved to Tacoma, WA for some reason but hasn't been able to get the KIA retitled outside of Illinois.
03:41 DaemonFC; So he has to come back here every year and renew the title, which means that he's lying to them about where he lives.
03:41 DaemonFC; Err, renew the registration I mean.
03:41 DaemonFC; But, he worked himself into a big mess.
03:41 DaemonFC; It would have been better for him had he taken my side down at the police station.
03:43 DaemonFC; So, yeah, that's kind of my philosophy. Either you're with me or you're against me, and if you're against me, then look out, because I'll think of something.
03:44 DaemonFC; I mean, like, yeah, I could have kept the KIA. The Impala has needed major repairs, but the KIA would have been manageable.
03:44 DaemonFC; I mostly threw it in the bankruptcy to knock him over.
03:44 DaemonFC; I could have kept it.
03:45 DaemonFC; He can't sell it without my permission.
03:45 DaemonFC; So he's stuck with it now until I'm done with him.
03:46 DaemonFC; I'm going to wait. I may choose to sign it over one day if he ever finishes the payments.
03:46 DaemonFC; By refusing to do it right now, it means the car continues to depreciate and he can't use the equity to pay off most of the loan and be rid of it.

14:14 activelow; really, would be curious why GNU/Linux utilized C11 features in kernel
14:14 activelow; for a very long time, minimum GCC version for kernel was gcc-3.2 (C90 mostly); and then since kernel 4.19/5.8/5.15 this was bumped regularly
14:15 activelow; what's concerning me is language extensions; the most recent being C11 _Generic macro which is utilized since kernel v5.9; and this one is nasty

14:19 activelow; of cause, if i follow this, and bump to any newer C compiler, then I am hitting bugs in gentoo-crossdev again; the utilitiy which *was* stable with gcc-4.7.4 and allowed for relatively easy toolchain creation
14:20 activelow; then i noticed, when trying to backport some of my kernel patches, since kernel v5.0 linux changed internal crypto API; and i had implemented against this newer API already
14:20 activelow; so, backporting my crypto modules among other patches i maintain would require testing and debugging again...
14:22 activelow; if i keep kernel v5.10LTS then this probably won't compile with TinyCC or PCC anymore (without extending these compilers with C11 features)
14:24 activelow; i'll try again to replace the _Generic C11 feature from kernel v5.10LTS so this can be compiled with gcc-4.7.4 at least
14:25 activelow; in any case, the time when kernel 2.6 could be compiled with tinycc (C90/99) and fit onto floppy disk have passed; that's gone forever
14:27 activelow; OpenBSD too switched to llvm/clang; and problem with older C90/99 compliant kernels is often missing hardware support
14:28 activelow; backporting drivers is horror, couldn't imagine to backport some rockchip support to kernel 2.6/3.x for example;

19:04 DaemonFC; The Libertarian Party did surprisingly well in the Indiana Gubernatorial election last year.
19:05 DaemonFC; Not close to winning, but definitely in spoiler territory if the Democrats weren't so unpopular over there.
19:06 DaemonFC; There's no doubt in my mind that almost all of that 11.4% came out of Eric Holcomb's total, but it still wasn't enough to even cost him the majority of the ballots.
19:06 TR News; Not much testing over #xmas in #uk but #covid19 positives (confirmed) published an hour ago: 25-12-2021 113,628 26-12-2021 108,893 27-12-2021 98,515 28-12-2021 129,471
19:06 DaemonFC; Indiana started to go the way of Illinois with the crime and taxes and the Democrats were thrown out, possibly forever.
19:07 DaemonFC; In Illinois, the voters keep electing Democrats even though progressive ballot measures don't do well here.
19:07 DaemonFC; There's another one coming next year that the public unions want. I'm hoping we can smack it down as well.
19:07 DaemonFC; The public unions have already ruined the state's finances. Now they want more.

19:22 schestowitz-TR2; "public distaurbance"
19:22 schestowitz-TR2; "antisocial behaviour"
19:22 schestowitz-TR2; that can be mooning alone

19:23 DaemonFC; They strong-armed me into confessing to Disorderly Conduct to avoid something worse.
19:23 schestowitz-TR2; 'plea' 'bargain'
19:23 DaemonFC; Yeah, that.
19:23 schestowitz-TR2; it's like confession under torture
19:24 schestowitz-TR2; not physical but psychological
19:24 DaemonFC; They said, you can confess to Disorderly Conduct and we'll give you three months probation and you can even have your FOID card back and no conviction on your record.
19:24 schestowitz-TR2; that's why Aaron Swartz had hung himself
19:24 DaemonFC; Or we can go to court on the original charges and you may get 10x the fine, 1 year in jail, 1 year probation, and never see your Second Amendment constitutional rights again over a misdemeanor.
19:25 DaemonFC; It depends on how harsh the judge and the jury are.

20:16 TR News; The current economy is collapsing. But the oligarchs try to make it all collapse on US (not the country, but us the non-oligarchs) while blaming "nature", e.g. COVID-19 and "supply chain". #inflation is just a side effect; they plunder the capital, calling themselves "philanthropists" and "job creators" (where? Sweatshops?)
20:18 TR News; Those ~7,000 BILLION dollars they've taken from the cookie jar over the past 2 years did not help the working class.

20:22 schestowitz__[TR]; The US economy is not collapsing. It already collapsed. It happened 13 years ago. Since then it bought time, riled up partisan race riots, and bought some more time for oligarchs to plunder whats left some more, mostly by issuing more money at the Treasury, writing off the public (debt) as collateral. And guess what? The people who did this already have homes abroad, bulletproof cars, mercenaries, and emergency chambers.
20:22 schestowitz__[TR]; They dont care about their nations. As unpatriotic as it gets, they refuse to even pay tax.

20:44 DaemonFC; Didn't feel like driving in a heavy snow to see a movie I can just put off until next week.
20:45 DaemonFC; Snow is more dangerous than the Omicron variant of COVID.
20:46 schestowitz-TR2; so is driving 4 hours back and forth to get an injection
20:46 DaemonFC; It causes lots of traffic accidents. Traffic accidents kill almost 40,000 Americans per year, most of them with long lives ahead of them otherwise, and people still get into their cars and go places.
20:47 schestowitz-TR2; US yesterday: quarter million case
20:47 DaemonFC; Heart disease is the number one killer in America. People still pour salt over everything in disgusting amounts.
20:47 schestowitz-TR2; Joe Donald to Biden Trump: hold ma drink, I can top that!

20:51 DaemonFC; A 14% reduction is not going to have a huge effect on strokes.
20:52 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, I managed to get my blood pressure under control using a couple of tricks.
20:52 schestowitz-TR2; another blood supply?
20:52 DaemonFC; One is in the kitchen, I just use unsalted or reduced sodium seasonings. Even when I do cook with a can of SPAM now, it's at least the reduced sodium version.
20:52 schestowitz-TR2; the Armstrong way?
20:53 DaemonFC; The other is a magnesium supplement.
20:53 schestowitz-TR2; you have become quite the ehemical lab
20:53 DaemonFC; The doctors don't want to admit it, but a 475 mg magnesium supplement helps you sleep at night better than a prescription sleeping pill, and with fewer lingering effects in the morning.
20:53 schestowitz-TR2; magnesium
20:53 DaemonFC; And it also has a significant effect on your blood pressure.
20:53 schestowitz-TR2; don't know
20:54 schestowitz-TR2; anyway, back to tech now
20:54 DaemonFC; If people realized that cheap-ish supplements could solve minor ailments, the doctors would lose "customers".
20:54 schestowitz-TR2; I have a part 5 coming
20:54 DaemonFC; People don't need to go in for blood pressure medicine if they can get pre-hypertension stage blood pressure under control with a little magnesium and some salt reductions they won't even notice.
20:54 schestowitz-TR2; in the us they are customers
20:55 schestowitz-TR2; but not here
20:55 DaemonFC; The blood pressure meds make your hair fall out.
20:55 DaemonFC; And they can cause erectile dysfunction.
20:55 DaemonFC; They won't tell you that!
20:55 DaemonFC; Maybe they will, somewhere, in the road atlas-sized list of side effects that nobody ever reads.
20:56 DaemonFC; They also won't admit that medicinal marijuana and Omega 3 fatty acid (fish oil) supplements are better for arthritis pain and depression than most prescription drugs.
20:57 DaemonFC; There are natural remedies that work. The doctors stay in business by rolling their eyes at you and going "great, one of these people" and then lobbying the FDA to ban the alternative.
20:58 DaemonFC; I was listening to NPR in the car the other morning and the person they had on was admitting that lab studies are showing promise with treatment resistant depression using fish oil.
20:58 DaemonFC; I laughed, like, you know, tell me something I don't know.
20:58 *zleap has quit (Quit: Leaving)
20:59 DaemonFC; You don't think I've tried everything? The fish oil works better than Lexapro or Paxil or any of that other crap against major depression, and it manages to do that without throwing you into mania if you have bipolar disorder!
20:59 DaemonFC; I was also waking up every morning with pain in my joints, so bad that I was literally hobbling around sometimes, especially when it was cold outside.
21:00 DaemonFC; My left knee has a spot where I accidentally shot a nail into it about 16 years ago.
21:00 DaemonFC; I pulled it out myself and cleaned it out best I could and bandaged it, and luckily nothing much happened past that. I ran down to the pharmacy and got a tetanus booster right away.
21:01 DaemonFC; It even healed without a scar. But on cold days, I get a throbbing pain there sometimes. But the fish oil supplements. By day three, no more knee pain.
21:02 DaemonFC; It's really good with joint inflammation.
21:03 DaemonFC; <schestowitz-TR2> in the us they are customers
21:03 DaemonFC; Yes, and they bill cram you like a dirty mechanic would.
21:03 schestowitz-TR2; back on topic now...
21:03 DaemonFC; "Hello Mr. Smith, and how are you today? I see, fantastic." Bill code for $600 "depression screening".
21:03 DaemonFC; Most expensive "Hey, how are ya?" ever.
21:04 DaemonFC; "Any guns in the house?" Oh good, now I get to pay this woman to be a government agent, compiling lists. Reporting to the state.
21:04 DaemonFC; Fun times.
21:05 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, I've had them look at me funny when they ask me that one.
21:05 AdmFubar1; spam callers are in high gear today..
21:05 DaemonFC; I say, "I refuse to answer that because it violates my second, fourth, and fifth amendment constitutional rights.".

21:36 DaemonFC; Of course they did.
21:36 DaemonFC; They don't care if you actually achieve anything there, the whole point is to load you up with debt.
21:37 DaemonFC; Public universities are one of the most racist things in this country.
21:37 DaemonFC; They lure racial minorities in with useless programs that result in a lot of debt and leave them working minimum wage jobs anyway in the end.
21:37 DaemonFC; And they use that to subsidize their real programs.
21:38 DaemonFC; I always saw minimum wage as a sort of middle finger to the working class.

23:19 MinceR; i don't know corbett
23:19 schestowitz-TR2; or corbet
23:20 schestowitz-TR2; MinceR: maybe better that way

23:20 schestowitz__[TR]; portion from corbet report on bill gates
23:21 DaemonFC; Microsoft has a lot of rapists that work there it seems, or have recently.
23:21 DaemonFC; It's nice to see that projection is a universal trait of abusive people/entities/organizations.
23:21 schestowitz-TR2; tolerance thershold
23:22 schestowitz-TR2; "he's not as bad as bill"
23:22 schestowitz-TR2; "he only choked her as a joke"
23:22 schestowitz-TR2; "sometimes they need some disciplining"
23:22 DaemonFC; I wouldn't say a guy who backs an immigrant into the corner and says "Fuck me or you lose your visa." is much better than a Gates or an Epstein.
23:23 DaemonFC; A lot of people come from very unstable countries that are absolute hellholes even compared to what the United States or the UK have devolved into.
23:23 DaemonFC; It still beats a lot of those countries by about yay much, you know?
23:24 DaemonFC; The federal system in the US hasn't changed, but the political relationship between the states and the feds has.
23:25 DaemonFC; They've always had the ability to push back, but they haven't been interested in using it since about 60 years ago.
23:25 DaemonFC; So 60 years is long enough that the majority of people alive today don't recall when state citizenship was important.

23:25 TR Bot; Twitter Is The Most Toxic Place On The Internet...
23:25 DaemonFC; It just wasn't. Few laws were different. Trip to the DMV.
23:26 DaemonFC; Now it can be almost like moving to a different country.
23:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, My grandmother is so poorly behaved that she went to the eye doctor to get an injection in her eye to slow down the degeneration, and right before he puts the needle in, she goes "Do you believe in our lord and savior Jesus Christ?". He goes, "Well, no, but I don't see how that's relevant at the moment." and she goes "WELL WHY NOT!?!?!?" and starts having a tantrum.
23:30 *buzzert_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
23:31 DaemonFC; Then she got into an argument with mom in the Walmart store and deliberately threw herself down on the floor and started going "Ohhhhhhh! Ohhhhhhh!" and people were asking if she needed help, and mom was like "No, she did this on her own.".
23:31 DaemonFC; Then on the way back she grabbed the steering wheel and almost crashed them into a truck.
23:32 DaemonFC; So mom told her she wasn't going to take her anywhere else, so Grandma got back to the home and told a social worker mom had hit her. Which opened an investigation.
23:32 DaemonFC; The social worker asked my cousins if my mom would do something like that, and they said no, my grandmother has always been twisted and mean, and a liar.
23:32 DaemonFC; They work at the home she's in.
23:33 schestowitz__[TR]; Harmon also?
23:33 DaemonFC; They closed the investigation after that. They could have interviewed me. I would have told them about, oh, 100 stories, including the time I bought everyone lunch and grandma started a food fight.
23:33 DaemonFC; Yeah, her.
23:33 schestowitz-TR2; maybe your mom will become her "copy"
23:33 DaemonFC; They asked the doctors about my grandmother and they admitted they ducked into patient rooms to get away from her when they saw her coming down the hallway.
23:34 DaemonFC; I doubt it.
23:34 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 9.56 k/sec., IPFS upstream 118.48 average k/sec., average swarm size 248.43
23:34 DaemonFC; My grandmother was always like this. She just made sure nobody saw her except family, acting that way.
23:34 schestowitz-TR2; where is her ancestry?
23:34 schestowitz-TR2; Sounds Irish
23:34 DaemonFC; Irish.
23:34 schestowitz-TR2; is she first gen US?
23:34 schestowitz-TR2; I know some Harmons
23:34 DaemonFC; No, and her parents were very nice.
23:35 schestowitz-TR2; the home we live in we've bought from an Irish-named lady
23:35 DaemonFC; Well, her surname was Wilson.
23:35 schestowitz-TR2; same surname as the irish EPO judge who was abused
23:35 DaemonFC; My grandfather was Harman, but the military screwed up and spelled it Harmon, so without other records, his name was changed by the Army.
23:36 schestowitz-TR2; Iot's a good thing "dad" didn't take her name
23:36 schestowitz-TR2; he would haver fela hormone
23:36 schestowitz-TR2; *fleta
23:36 schestowitz-TR2; *felta
23:37 *schestowitz-TR2 sipping while typing
23:38 DaemonFC; Yeah, I'm a lot of things, but I'm not a drunk.
23:38 DaemonFC; I don't respect drunks.
23:38 DaemonFC; My grandfather on my dad's side was never sober by choice.
23:38 TR News; #amazon uses a fire motif for product names; maybe take a clue? Alphabet just calls everything "Gulag" something. Also a clue... Apple uses "i"... it's all about [i]tself, as in "i control u"
23:39 DaemonFC; His first day sober in decades was when he couldn't walk to the liquor store anymore.
23:39 schestowitz-TR2; ouch
23:39 schestowitz-TR2; liquor is not too expensive here
23:39 schestowitz-TR2; so becoming a boozer is possible
23:39 schestowitz-TR2; but then the health issues set in
23:39 schestowitz-TR2; then it's not as fun
23:39 schestowitz-TR2; also, the effect of the alcohol wears off
23:40 schestowitz-TR2; then it's more pain than relief
23:40 schestowitz-TR2; Carlin has a nice chat or skit about it
23:40 schestowitz-TR2; he used to smoke pot

23:42 schestowitz-TR2; seek to 6:00
23:42 schestowitz-TR2; about narcotics
23:43 DaemonFC; Grandma got addicted to Darvocets and would just pop them like candy.
23:43 DaemonFC; She's 90 now.
23:44 DaemonFC; She had a doctor that would just give them to her back when nobody thought anything of giving an old woman who said she had arthritis opioids.
23:44 schestowitz-TR2; watch the vid
23:44 schestowitz-TR2; I look for you...
23:44 schestowitz-TR2; *looked it up
23:47 DaemonFC; I wonder if the new Matrix movie is any good.
23:48 DaemonFC; They couldn't bring back Hugo Weaving as Smith, because he was a computer program, and as such couldn't age.
23:48 schestowitz__[TR]; DaemonFC: interesting little article/image coming...
23:48 schestowitz__[TR]; Spoiler:
23:48 *XFaCE has quit (Quit: Retiring completely for now ("Automatic for the people, thanks for all the fish"))
23:48 DaemonFC; I think the new one has a different actor who is supposed to be Smith.

23:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz__[TR], Windows is the new Internet Explorer.
23:49 schestowitz-TR2; haha
23:49 DaemonFC; They tried to keep that going years after everyone hated it. But it just kept bleeding users until there was no point.
23:49 MinceR; 29 004808 < DaemonFC> They couldn't bring back Hugo Weaving as Smith, because he was a computer program, and as such couldn't age.
23:50 MinceR; they haven't heard of bitrot? :>

23:50 DaemonFC; Well, the Matrix seemed remarkably fragile.
23:50 DaemonFC; The point of the Agents was to hunt down and terminate corrupt programs.
23:51 DaemonFC; Or ones that no longer had a point but became self-aware and ran away instead of returning to the source.
23:52 DaemonFC; When Neo "destroyed" Smith at the end of the first movie, he corrupted Smith's program, specifically parts that prevented the Agents from cloning themselves onto more than one person at once and the part that prevented them from disobeying the system or becoming self-aware.
23:52 DaemonFC; The One was always Agent Smith, not Neo.

23:53 DaemonFC; Smith ruined and brought down that iteration of The Matrix and forced a peace deal with humanity in exchange for purging him.
23:54 DaemonFC; schestowitz__[TR], PornHub painted a much grimmer picture of Windows.
23:55 DaemonFC; Desktop OS share down to 64.7% Windows. Down 3 points in 12 months.
23:55 schestowitz-TR2; take screenshot
23:55 schestowitz-TR2; upload it
23:55 schestowitz-TR2; but it's just one site
