beginning of new day, May 30

00:00 matey; MS Windows is not alone, however. Certain variants of Unix-like systems appear to be headed down that road as well. While Linux distributions like Ubuntu seem to run afoul of the common negative correlation between security and popularity just like MS Windows, they still have a ways to go to achieve the same level of blatant disregard for security.

00:00 matey; lol

00:09 DaemonFC; "2017 Malibu most expensive pos I have ever owned

00:09 DaemonFC; Amanda,04/12/2018

00:09 DaemonFC; L 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

00:09 DaemonFC; I purchased a 2017 malibu new with 5 miles 12/2016. Check engine light came on a month and half later. Vehicle in the shop 15 times in a 16 month period. Repeat emission related issues, rumbling, vibrating noise, clunks and jerks upon deceleration, reduced engine power lights causing car to not accelerate and not shift out of 2nd gear. Oxygen senors replaced 3 times and received error code that they needed to be replaced a 4th time. Catalytic

00:09 DaemonFC; converter replaced, wire harness replaced twice, rear wheel bearing replaced and still had repeat issues. Chevy Malibu is unsafe and is a hazard to the driver and others on the road. On 3 occasions the reduced engine light illuminated and the car would not accelerate. There is no warning ahead of time. The last time this happened I was on the freeway. After repeat inconveniences of taking my car for repairs, time off work, time without a

00:09 DaemonFC; vehicle, being stranded roadside and put in unsafe conditions from lack of reliability and lack of resolution from the dealership and GM I turned my car in as a voluntary repo. I will never purchase another GM vehicle! It is by far the worst vehicle I have owned! It is unsafe and unreliable. I will not drive behind a Chevy Malibu on the freeway because I know at any moment their reduced engine power indicator may come on and cause their vehicle

00:09 DaemonFC; to substantially slow and not accelerate. DO NOT BUY A MALIBU"

00:09 DaemonFC; :/

00:09 DaemonFC; Well, scratch that about not holding up over time. This lady bought one brand new with 5 miles on the odometer and it was in the shop every month beginning the third month she owned it.

00:11 DaemonFC; Mom bought a Malibu as well. Although it was one of the decent older models.

00:12 DaemonFC; She destroyed that by not paying attention and allowing some uninsured driver back out of their driveway into her, and then the cop let the uninsured driver go, and then mom's insurance had to pay it out as uninsured motorist. I don't know if they ever sued the bitch, but I doubt they got anything. She was in the middle of moving out on one of Kent's apartments and into one of Theresa's.

00:13 DaemonFC; They're the two big landlords in Huntington, and when they used to actually work in the same office together, they used to yell back and forth about whether to rent to people or not if they put the other one down as a past landlord.

00:13 DaemonFC; Kent had some that moved out without paying him and then put him down as a reference. They were upstairs from my mom.

00:13 DaemonFC; 4 months behind on rent, they sneak out and then put him down as a reference!

00:14 DaemonFC; Then there was my neighbor, Dawn, who was always drunk and trying to get me to have sex with her.

00:14 *activelow has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

00:14 DaemonFC; She was like 8 months behind and then slipped out.

00:15 *activelow (~activelow@5p42qdurt3f6k.irc) has joined #techrights

00:15 DaemonFC; Made me feel really good about paying every week. Nothing happens if you don't pay. :/

00:15 DaemonFC; Yes, rent by the week. Most people in that town have no money if you don't catch them on payday, but what could I do? He was one of the cheapest landlords in town who actually had decent apartments, who wasn't government subsidized.

00:16 DaemonFC; And of course as a single white male, your odds of getting government housing are like winning the powerball twice, back to back.

00:16 DaemonFC; You just get to pay taxes so that people can game the system.

00:17 DaemonFC; Move in with their bastard kids and boyfriend that's "totally not living there" except he's always there and bringing drugs in and out and has mail going there.

00:17 DaemonFC; Other than that, not living there.

00:18 DaemonFC; Then people wonder why the Section 8 program keeps getting cut, why landlords don't even want to accept it if you can get a voucher, and why everyone looks down on people that get it.

00:18 DaemonFC; The complexes that take it turn into drug dens and with criminals and guns everywhere, so they start demanding people be 55+ to get any help.

00:19 DaemonFC; Because they know that if you LIVE to 55, you're probably not a gang member.

00:20 DaemonFC; Mom lived in one of those for a while. Not subsidized, but they had a tax credit deal with the IRS to keep the rent down for people over 55 with lower than average income for their household size. And it was a nice place, UNTIL they started letting people under 50 in there. Then it turned into drugs, guns, gangs, bedbugs, cockroaches, don't go out into the hall at night. Someone's stereo always blasting.

00:21 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, That dehumidifier really did the trick. It got up to 90 outside today and I haven't needed the air conditioner.

00:22 DaemonFC; Which is just as well because the thing is the biggest piece of shit air conditioner I've ever seen. Even the one at the motel WORKED properly and didn't freeze itself up.

00:23 DaemonFC; The hottest it got in here today was 75.

00:23 *bnchs has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

00:24 DaemonFC; I just got another box fan. The things are dirt cheap to run.

00:24 DaemonFC; I intend to turn this one into an air purifier when those MERV 13 furnace filters arrive from Amazon tomorrow.

00:25 DaemonFC; They gave me $7 off a pack of 4 because the box they were packed in was damaged, but it says the filters are okay.

00:25 *bnchs (~bnchs@bjckeed7fe7s6.irc) has joined #techrights

00:26 DaemonFC; So I got a 20x20 box fan at Walmart for $23, the Command strips for $9, and a pack of 4 MERV 13 furnace filters, 20x20, for $50.

00:28 DaemonFC; You have to change them out about every 4-6 months, but even at that, that's only 2-3 times a year $25-37 a year on filters and $23 for the up front cost of the fan. The HEPA air purifiers that can change over the room air that fast are running about $200-400 depending on which brand you want, with the $400 model being a Dyson, and then they make their own cartidges you have to replace every year for about $70-80, but then that's IF they keep

00:28 DaemonFC; making them. They're not a standard size.

00:28 DaemonFC; So they could stop making them and leave you with a $400 air purifier that you can't even use.

00:29 DaemonFC; One of the articles I was reading about fan+MERV 13 furnace filter says you may put additional strain on the fan motor. Well, last time I did this with a cheap fan, the fan ran for 12 years before the motor started to go out, and it was a $20 fan.

00:29 DaemonFC; So I mean, who cares? Buy another fan, strap a MERV 13 to that one.

00:30 DaemonFC; I guarantee you that Dyson won't work in 12 years, it'll cost god knows what to replace it when it craps out, and that's if you can find filters by then.

00:30 DaemonFC; I only buy things where I can either get standard parts or just reuse the ones it comes with forever, or at worst, I end up making my own replacement parts for it.

00:31 DaemonFC; Like, if these prefilters on the AirGenius systems I own wear out, I can just get a cut to fit air conditioner filter for $1 and make a new one myself.

00:32 DaemonFC; It's too much aggravation and money down the toilet to get something that requires proprietary components that have to be replaced, without any guarantee for how long they even make them that fit, and when the up front cost of the system is incredibly expensive for what it is.

00:35 DaemonFC; If I do buy into an expensive system, like my $85 toothbrush, I do things like bulk buy 4-5 years of replacement heads all at once so I know I can probably use it for as long as the unit will last.

00:36 DaemonFC; It helps assure you that you'll probably average out a per year TCO that is more reasonable even if the manufacturer starts making incompatible heads to sell you a new handle.

00:37 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, I wish I had considered this back when those Filtrete water filter discs were in production and $10 each and still in production.

00:37 DaemonFC; You find something you like and they just stop making them. It's maddening.

00:37 DaemonFC; They actually got design patents on these things. They went 100 gallons, no clogs, $10, and then they stopped making them.

00:37 DaemonFC; But nobody else started, because of the patents.

01:04 matey; well, you and the rest of the planet

01:04 MinceR; XRevan86: well, at least more and more people know that fideath supports a terrorist state

01:04 MinceR; "country image", as they say

01:05 matey; oh is russia a terrorist state now?

01:05 MinceR; well, yeah

01:05 matey; i mean, its acting like one, but is it official?

01:05 MinceR; they threatened with nuclear war and fallout from nuclear power plants

01:05 MinceR; dunno what counts as official

01:06 matey; i dont know where you go to find out

01:06 matey; for wanted murderers you can just check the post office

01:06 matey; thats a terrorist url

01:06 matey; i dont mean the page it goes to

01:06 matey; i mean the url itself

01:07 XRevan86; I've completely no idea what that is.

01:07 matey; its the elder address!

01:07 matey; dont speak it out loud or the internet could collapse

01:08 matey; it lures people in thinking its just a harmless jpeg. this is exactly how goatse started

01:09 matey; <matey> for wanted murderers you can just check the post office <- before so many people were vegan, they used to put pictures of missing persons on milk containers

01:10 matey; so when people went vegan you could ask them if they were trying to protect kidnappers

01:10 XRevan86; activelow: Druzhba is excluded from this embargo proposal.

01:10 matey; which i never did, because the vegans never pushed hard enough

01:10 matey; i was ready for them though

01:10 activelow; XRevan86: by "EU", not Orban

01:11 XRevan86; activelow: What's that supposed to mean?

01:11 matey; everyone knows vegans are just former cannibals after the pendulum swung in the other direction

01:11 activelow; XRevan86: it means, it isn't Orban nor Putin supporting terrorism, it is "EU" who does

01:11 activelow; Druzhba pipeline is the one controlled by the comedian from Kiev

01:16 MinceR; lol @ protecting kidnappers

01:18 matey; the uk wants to ship asylum seekers to rwanda

01:18 matey; i swear they dont even know what asylum seeking is

01:19 matey; this is in the glorious (see previous defintion) european union

01:19 matey; in one of the GREATEST nations IN europe, in all of history, of course

01:19 MinceR; no, the uk is not in the eu

01:19 XRevan86; activelow: In the same vein as the Taliban are the biggest supporters of feminism in Afghanistan.

01:19 matey; oh right

01:19 matey; they did leave

01:19 matey; FORMER european union :)

01:20 matey; (it was part of the eu when i was there)

01:20 matey; i do recall reading something more recently though...

01:20 MinceR; no, the eu is not gone yet :>

01:20 MinceR; (fideath and the PiS are working on it though)

01:20 matey; well if youre going to be like that, the fsf still exists too

01:20 activelow; XRevan86: well, as far as i am concerned, all those EU feminists could take refuge in Afghanistan, and enforce any desired social order there

01:21 MinceR; it exists, it just isn't doing anything useful

01:21 matey; sort of like the eu

01:21 activelow; first on the hit list, peace angel foreign minister A. Baerbock

01:21 MinceR; the eu was not changed in this way by the uk leaving, was it?

01:21 matey; oh no

01:21 matey; the eu sucked for so many more reasons than that

01:21 activelow; who, just like EU, want to supply Ukraine with Weapons

01:21 activelow; why... because of friendship and democracy and climate and this and that

01:22 matey; the goals of the eu are noble and just

01:22 matey; what that actually has to do with the eu itself is anyones guess

01:22 matey; i hate the implementation more than the design

01:23 matey; "come here and we will work to better europe"

01:23 matey; "ok, now that youre all here-- FUCK YOU ALL!"

01:24 matey; lots of copyright and censorship and opportunist socialism for corporations for everyone

01:24 matey; but, free passage. not you, gypsy scum

01:24 matey; "im from poland"

01:24 matey; "close enough"

01:25 matey; if they called it the european clusterfuck, id at least approve of the name

01:25 matey; if its a union, when does everyone go on strike?

01:27 matey; i see one striking similarity between the eu and stalins ussr that might just be enough for it to be a terrible idea

01:27 matey; and only after a small part of it has already "proven" itself to be an issue

01:28 matey; socialism really only works if the power comes from the bottom

01:29 matey; obviously for it to be socialism, administration comes from the top

01:29 matey; but the power cant

01:29 matey; stalin didnt trust the people at all

01:29 matey; it was supposed to be power to the soviets

01:29 matey; instead, all power went to the bureaucracy

01:30 matey; that seems to be the eu approach

01:30 matey; of course no matter what they do, elections are a nice thing to bolt onto tyranny

01:30 matey; dont worry, we keep our promises

01:30 matey; if you want socialism, make sure all the europeans are armed :)

01:31 matey; if you want stalinism, entrust only the state with such power

01:31 matey; of course, im not confident at all about this assessment

01:31 matey; ive been trying to figure out the eu for ages

01:32 matey; the only thing im really confident of is that its a dumpster fire

01:32 matey; they talk a good game about human rights

01:32 matey; but they really kind of suck at it

01:33 activelow; btw.; the northstream project, it was Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and Russia cooperating

01:33 activelow; after Brexit, it was "southern" europe, mainly catholic Italy/Spain/France who dominate

01:33 activelow; that's why, Drushba good, Northstream bad

01:34 activelow; although, imagine this, with UK gone, Netherlands, German, Switzerland and Russia pissed onto by "EU"

01:34 activelow; guess, how many "friends" there are remaining

01:35 activelow; and this catholic church, praising world peace, with corn and gas and oil, which wasn't theirs

01:35 activelow; that's why, they want to re-route corn via romania...

01:36 CrystalMath; a terrorist state, hmm, that sounds like the one that invaded Iraq and killed countless innocent people

01:36 CrystalMath; with its whole terrorist group called NATO

01:37 XRevan86; CrystalMath: The operation that was sanctioned by the UN, and by the Russia specifically?

01:37 XRevan86; * by Russia

01:37 CrystalMath; XRevan86: that doesn't make it any less terrorist

01:37 XRevan86; CrystalMath: That does put a rift between that and what's happening now.

01:38 MinceR; well, at least we all agree on russia being a terrorist state, then

01:38 matey; sure, some things are easy

01:38 CrystalMath; well, i sincerely hope that russia has changed since 2003

01:38 matey; plus it sort of looks like one

01:38 CrystalMath; and would no longer allow such things

01:39 XRevan86; The president hasn't changed for one thing.

01:39 MinceR; it hasn't

01:39 MinceR; but now it's changing

01:39 matey; but the funny thing is, the the right was actually against terrorists a decade or two ago

01:39 matey; now theyre like "

01:39 CrystalMath; what do you mean?

01:39 matey; fuck yeah! theyre winning!"

01:39 MinceR; from a sovereign state into either a state that no longer exists or into a colony of red china

01:39 XRevan86; And yea, some of the people who died in Ukraine have literally only lived with Putin as president.

01:39 MinceR; they've made themselves into a pariah state

01:39 CrystalMath; the "right" was specifically supporting the evil NATO terrorist action against iraq

01:40 XRevan86; So Putin's presidency was a constant in their whole lives.

01:40 MinceR; putler is sacrificing everything in an attempt to get things he can't have

01:40 CrystalMath; even people praised today, like Tucker Carlson, were saying disgusting things about Saddam Hussein that are completely untrue

01:40 CrystalMath; and racist things

01:41 matey; when does he join the board then?

01:41 MinceR; don't worry, i don't praise Fucker Carlson

01:41 matey; no, fucker carlson people like russia, i think

01:41 MinceR; yeah

01:41 MinceR; ruscism is the fascism of this century

01:41 activelow; Burisma Bidler, catholic, almost forgot

01:42 matey; also you can say at least 5 lines of text without saying WOOOO or YEAAAH!

01:42 activelow; Hitler, catholic

01:42 activelow; i mean, this church

01:42 CrystalMath; matey: idk, i guess we see it differently, i can't imagine supporting both russia and NATO, it would be super cognitive dissonance

01:42 activelow; this is EU

01:42 XRevan86; activelow: Remind me, what that a bad thing or a good thing? It's hard to keep track.

01:42 MinceR; CrystalMath: well, even russia is helping build NATO now

01:43 MinceR; they've convinced Finland and Sweden to join, after all

01:43 matey; its absolutely incredible how much devestation has been caused by one australian immigrant telling america that everything foreign is bad

01:43 CrystalMath; so people who support russia as it is now should support Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi

01:43 matey; they've convinced Finland and Sweden <- wait, sweden joined what

01:44 CrystalMath; Muammar Gaddafi was 100% innocent, at least that's something we know now

01:44 MinceR; matey: Sweden wants to join the NATO

01:44 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights

01:44 matey; youd think they would be too educated to think there was a point in it

01:44 matey; i get the lesser evilism angle (despite my feelings about it in general)

01:45 matey; hell if i were in that part of europe, id at least consider nato (even knowing better)

01:45 matey; from here i can say its a lot of wank

01:45 activelow; i don't think sweden or finland need NATO, if at all, it is NATO who need sweden and finland

01:45 matey; in finland they probably think torvalds invented unix

01:46 MinceR; if i were that close to terrorussia and didn't have both a conventional army that can easily crush terrorussia and nuclear weapons + defenses greater than that of terrorussia, i'd want to be a NATO member too

01:46 CrystalMath; the finns did invent IRC

01:47 activelow; MinceR: you're deluded, Balticum is supplied with 90% russian energy

01:47 MinceR; yeah, i know, everyone's deluded and you are the helicopter

01:47 activelow; why would anyone of them affiliate with NATO and aim at russia?

01:47 MinceR; that's not aiming at russia

01:47 MinceR; that's disincentivizing russia from attacking them

01:48 XRevan86; MinceR: He is D'Artagnan

01:48 activelow; MinceR: who was it, who detonated ballistic missiles in eastern ukraine?

01:48 activelow; year 2014 iirc

01:49 activelow; and why, regardless, did "EU" support the comedian?

01:49 MinceR; i can't follow most of your delusions

01:49 activelow; the conflict began 2014 already

01:49 MinceR; but i think the EU supports the president of ukraine because he was elected in actual free and fair elections

01:50 activelow; Minsk agreement insisted, free federal elections

01:50 MinceR; allegedly such things are the things the EU is for

01:50 MinceR; (not sure if one can tell by observing the EU's behavior though)

01:50 activelow; MinceR: this comedian received Bidler cash

01:50 MinceR; activelow: have you heard of the Budapest Memorandum?

01:50 matey; the eu is probably easier to understand once people realise its run by politicians

01:51 MinceR; lol

01:51 matey; two words, julia reda

01:51 activelow; yes, Ukraine was supposed to dismantle their entire WMD stockpiles

01:51 matey; i think that sums it up probably (it shouldnt, but it might)

01:51 XRevan86; Russia is probably easier to understand once people realise it's run by siloviki

01:51 MinceR; and terrorussia disclaimed any territorial claims toward ukraine

01:51 MinceR; and yet here we are

01:52 MinceR; ukraine has no WMDs and got invaded

01:52 MinceR; and the lesson from this is: never give up WMDs

01:53 activelow; certainly, there won't be any remaining, in Ukraine, with a comedian as president, who couldn't coordinate with his closest neighbor: Russia

01:53 matey; politicians are wmds

01:53 activelow; and stuffed his pockets with Burisma Bidler cash

01:53 matey; nobody ever bans those

01:53 XRevan86; Moldova also couldn't.

01:53 activelow; iirc, this comedian, had some offshore account, panama papers

01:53 MinceR; i would gladly ban politicians, but i don't have an army to do so with

01:53 matey; you should build one :)

01:53 activelow; if Putin does it, it's bad, if the Ukrainian comedian does it, it isn't mentioned

01:54 matey; its easier than it looks

01:55 MinceR; i can't afford one

01:55 matey; youd have to get one that will do it pro-bono :)

01:55 MinceR; activelow: did this comedian invade ukraine? did he annex crimea?

01:55 MinceR; matey: yeah, i can't

01:55 matey; i mean this is funny, but im only half kidding

01:55 matey; dont underestimate yourself

01:55 activelow; MinceR: this comedian seized power and control over ukraine, and with it billion cash business with this drushba pipeline

01:56 MinceR; strange

01:56 MinceR; from here it looks awfully like he was elected democratically

01:56 activelow; MinceR: besides, although this comedian controls the drushba pipeline, it was still _russian_ gas funned into

01:56 activelow; although, don't ask me, who filled the offshore accounts of the comedian

01:56 activelow; given EU and Bidler propaganda, it seems obvious

01:57 XRevan86; First time I hear that a state president has control over the oil business.

01:57 activelow; maybe, the Pope can explain, what his plans were, to route "friendship" gas into italy

01:57 XRevan86; Except in Russia, but Russia is special.

01:57 matey; <MinceR> from here it looks awfully like he was elected democratically <- the rule of greater democracy states

01:57 matey; that if a democracy has a duly elected leader

01:57 matey; and a BETTER democracy also has a duly elected leader

01:58 matey; that the better democracy can declare YOUR democracy null and void

01:58 MinceR; lol

01:58 matey; and require you to put in a puppet leader via a barely-democratic "election"

01:58 matey; FOR DEMOCRACY

01:58 matey; i mean, if if the twentieth century taught us anything about politics

01:59 matey; its that this is like the rule #1 of democracy

01:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 40.70 k/sec., IPFS upstream 5.03 average k/sec., average swarm size 432.75

01:59 matey; even if its an unwritten rule

01:59 MinceR; isn't rule #1 of democracy "you do not talk about democracy"?

01:59 matey; rule 1 and 2

01:59 matey; but rules 3 through biscuit are mostly borrowed from calvinball

02:00 activelow; anyway, why did energy prices explode in Germany, and these didn't in Italy/Spain/France at the time this started?

02:00 DaemonFC; This Classic SNL stuff wouldn't even be allowed today.

02:00 matey; and rules 1 and 2 are of course, subject to change at any time without notice

02:00 activelow; i see, northstream2 failed, and Druzhba terminated in italy

02:00 XRevan86; Before going to sleep, I'll mention that there is some truth to that: https://theguardian.com/news/2021/oct/03/revealed-anti-oligarch-ukrainian-president-offshore-connections-volodymyr-zelenskiy

↺ https://theguardian.com/news/2021/oct/03/revealed-anti-oligarch-ukrainian-president-offshore-connections-volodymyr-zelenskiy

02:00 TR Bot; Revealed: anti-oligarch Ukrainian presidents offshore connections | Volodymyr Zelenskiy | The Guardian

02:00 DaemonFC; I thought it was funnier than hell when they had "Tom Brokaw" reading all the possible ways Gerald Ford could die (in 1996).

02:00 MinceR; probably because germany was stupid enough to get off nuclear energy despite not having a viable replacement for it

02:01 matey; the rule of administrative recursion states

02:01 XRevan86; I personally don't care all that much because compared to the levels of corruption I'm used to seeing in Russia this is a nitpick.

02:01 MinceR; i thought no human lives long enough to say all the possible ways in which a human can die

02:01 matey; that any government that would trust windows and its automatic updates

02:01 DaemonFC; And he gets to "Gerald Ford died today and I'm gay!" "Oh, come on!" and the guy says, "Well, what if Gerald Ford dies and you wake up that day and decide you like other men, and then another network gets it because we didn't have anything ready!?".

02:02 matey; cant be trusted not to emulate the same updates

02:02 XRevan86; Meanwhile Zelensky getting money from Biden is something Ilya Kyva would say.

02:02 matey; and thus change anything they want to, at any time, without consent of the public

02:02 DaemonFC; <XRevan86> Meanwhile Zelensky getting money from Biden is something Ilya Kyva would say.

02:02 activelow; XRevan86: the Burisma Bidler impeachment proceeding never was finished, Trump "lost" the election... forgot already?

02:02 XRevan86; A lot of Kyva's fantasies spread like hot cakes in Russian state media.

02:02 DaemonFC; The US is getting an absolute bargain.

02:03 DaemonFC; It gets a war with Russia, that Russia is losing badly, that isn't really costing us a lot of money, that isn't even being fought by our soldiers.

02:03 DaemonFC; It's what politicans call a no lose proposition.

02:04 DaemonFC; And when Putin is done, the Russian military and economy will take decades to recover from this, if it ever does.

02:04 DaemonFC; Plus, I get to read about all of the ridiculous names for McDonalds you guys are coming up with.

02:04 XRevan86; Kyva said that Zelensky has more than a billion dollars and a villa in Miami.

02:04 DaemonFC; No wonder gay people are illegal in Russia.

02:04 DaemonFC; You aren't a very imaginative bunch.

02:04 matey; hes also secretly gay

02:05 matey; and cheating on his wife

02:05 XRevan86; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illia_Kyva

02:05 TR Bot; Illia Kyva - Wikipedia

02:05 XRevan86; He's a highly entertaining character, if ye can find information on him in English, go for it :)

02:06 matey; russian media sounds like a bunch of old women

02:06 matey; except obsessed with money instead of people holding hands (which could lead to dancing)

02:07 matey; implicit is the laughable idea that everyone except russia is corrupt :)

02:07 MinceR; apparently activelow believes that laughable idea

02:08 matey; russia is so pious, its like chuck norris except with propriety

02:08 XRevan86; DaemonFC: "You aren't a very imaginative bunch" <- I have a counter-example: McDonald's is literally one's last name.

02:08 matey; russia has never even masturbated

02:08 MinceR; chuck norris is a christian fundamentalist too

02:09 MinceR; he's campaigning for religious brainwashing of children

02:09 XRevan86; matey: Or it did, but then said that YOU did it.

02:09 matey; youre assuming he isnt a bad-ass version of jesus himself

02:09 MinceR; i wish he was

02:09 MinceR; because that would mean that he doesn't exist, just like jesus

02:10 matey; fun fact, chuck norris was once a guest at the hotel soviet, as was margaret thatcher

02:10 matey; stalin had his own suite of course

02:10 matey; im guessing they werent all there at the same time, as that paints a pretty horrible picture

02:11 activelow; MinceR: you wouldn't want to know, what I believe

02:11 MinceR; activelow: yet you're telling everyone here

02:11 activelow; i told what i _know_

02:12 XRevan86; But how that what ye _know_ be so wrong in many positions?

02:12 MinceR; yes, you told what you believe you know

02:12 XRevan86; But I do appreciate no mentions of Anti-Christ.

02:12 DaemonFC; It's not unusual to name a business after yourself.

02:13 MinceR; wasn't McDonald's named after someone other than the people running it, though?

02:13 MinceR; hm, apparently not

02:13 matey; McDonalds was named after Ray Kroc

02:14 matey; who was terrible at spelling

02:14 MinceR; lol

02:16 matey; i used to think it was named after ronald mcdonald, but that was actually williard scott

02:18 MinceR; i thought it was named after someone who manufactured machines they used, but apparently it was founded by the McDonald brothers and then taken over by Ray Kroc

02:18 matey; dave thomas actually named wendys after his daughter wendy

02:19 matey; but since both he and his daughter were too heavyset to be a brand for a burger chain

02:19 matey; they made a cartoon instead

02:19 MinceR; but even wikipedia contradicts itself on the history of McDonald's

02:19 matey; thats because the real story of mcdonalds is shrouded in mystery and intrigue

02:19 MinceR; one page says they had one arch and Ray Kroc came up with doubling it, the other page says it was doubled to begin with

02:20 matey; everyone knows its a front for the illuminati

02:20 matey; the golden arches are alien landing beacons

02:20 MinceR; lol

02:20 MinceR; most of them are pretty far from the pyramids though

02:20 matey; the above ground mcdonalds, yes

02:21 matey; but the REAL ONES are underground

02:21 matey; theres a drive thru, but its got laser scanners and biometric identification

02:22 matey; also pulse cannons

02:22 MinceR; what are pulse cannons shooting pulses of?

02:22 matey; secret ingredients

02:22 matey; that, and plasma

02:23 matey; when they say secret ingredients

02:23 matey; they mean ancient secrets

02:23 AdmFubar; are the justified ancients?

02:24 matey; but most of its origins were pretty mundane

02:24 matey; once you get past all the stories they made up to keep the real story secret

02:24 MinceR; of Mu Mu?

02:24 matey; you find out that after the roswell incident, the world leaders decided to connect everything together with underground tunnels

02:24 matey; thats pretty simple

02:25 matey; well, one thing about underground tunnels spanning the globe is

02:25 matey; you travel all that way, you get hungry

02:25 matey; mcdonalds was the first top-secret cia-funded fast food chain

02:25 matey; entirely underground, literally

02:26 matey; but like all such innovations, it eventually became a product for regular consumers

02:26 matey; like the internet and cell phones

02:28 AdmFubar; so when musk gets don't making his boring holes... what kind of terrible food awaits at the end of his rat maze?

02:28 matey; of course when you try to fix wikipedia so they finally get the history right

02:29 matey; they go and revert it because wikipedia exists mostly to keep people in the dark about such things

02:29 matey; theyve unwittingly become part of the coverup

02:29 matey; or wittingly, but the editors dont know any better

04:25 DaemonFC; Ray Kroc was selling these "multi-mixer" things for ice cream.

04:25 DaemonFC; He went to sell them some and ended up liking their business and offering to start franchising it. They didn't like the idea because they didn't think they could maintain quality control, but he talked them into it.

04:26 DaemonFC; Then he slowly tricked and cheated them into selling over more and more of their business to him. He figured out that if he used a cheaper powder to make shakes with, he would eliminate the freezer space for ice cream and could just run it through a machine instead, and the McDonald brothers didn't like that. It was actually a violation of their contract, but he did it anyway.

07:46 TR News; 34% of the British population never received a jab, any jab, for COVID-19. But of course the media presents the data differently. Over 38% never got a second jab, 52% never got a third one.

07:50 TR News; Why does this matter? Because this past week we reach all-time lows for COVID-19 vaccination in the UK. Just 3,000 for the day, all combined (even boosters). That's 0.004411% of the population.

07:52 TR News; The vaccine patent pools are going to look for products [sic] to replace what was lost. No, they won't pursue mass vaccination in Africa etc. "There's no money in it..." It's about patent monopolies and extraction of money from taxpayers via governments

07:54 TR News; If the war on coronavirus is over, then COVID-19 won because it's everywhere now and politicians have given up fighting. Yet worse, due to greed a lot of the world's population remains unprotected.

07:55 TR News; Lessons humans failed to learn from COVID-19 crisis: patents on medicine is a threat to mankind, people should really work from their homes where their job allows this, and the West is far too dependent on imports from overseas sweatshops

20:41 TR Bot; 11 Best Xfce Themes to Give Your Linux Desktop a Modern Look | Tux Machines

20:42 Sv; Modern Look is so passe we need post modern look

20:43 schestowitz_TR2; minimalist?

20:43 Sv; minimalist != post modern

20:45 DaemonFC; It seems like people are always trying to take what there is and make it worse somehow.

20:45 DaemonFC; The only use for MPEG 1 Layer 1 was a Compact Cassette with digital lossy audio stream on it, which had a DRM bit.

20:46 DaemonFC; I was reading about the format in Wikipedia. Philips was pushing it in the early 90s. The master (store bought original) tape had a DRM bit set which would allow one generation of copying, but you couldn't make a copy from a copied tape.

20:47 DaemonFC; So you could theoretically make copies for all your friends, but their copies would have the "copy" and not "master" bit set, so they couldn't make copies from theirs.

20:47 schestowitz_TR2; this sounds like BS

20:47 schestowitz_TR2; even "modern" DRM does not work

20:47 schestowitz_TR2; the mechanical DRM would not work either

20:47 schestowitz_TR2; creative people always find workarounds

20:47 schestowitz_TR2; in the case of video and audio more so than tractors

20:47 schestowitz_TR2; tractions can self-brick

20:47 DaemonFC; MPEG 1 Layer 1 was more like the Bluetooth SBC codec.

20:48 schestowitz_TR2; but things you see and hear you can also capture

20:48 DaemonFC; Lossy, simple subband. L/R stereo only.

20:48 DaemonFC; Needs a relatively high bitrate (384 kbps in both cases) just to sound halfway decent.

20:48 schestowitz_TR2; but wait, most people onyl have l and r

20:49 schestowitz_TR2; and low quality at that

20:49 schestowitz_TR2; like 9 volts

20:49 schestowitz_TR2; so when your sapling rate and channels are high and many you get no added value

20:49 DaemonFC; L/R and not M/S or Intensity stereo.

20:49 schestowitz_TR2; only more waste of storage space

20:49 DaemonFC; They're just more efficient ways of storing stereo.

20:49 Sv; i omly got L/R ears

20:50 schestowitz_TR2; some headphones can simulate front and back

20:50 schestowitz_TR2; but inside thew eardrum it does not mean much

20:50 DaemonFC; https://lame.sourceforge.io/ms_stereo.php

20:50 TR Bot; LAME MP3 Encoder :: GPSYCHO - Mid/Side Stereo

20:50 Sv; the human species in the future will have 7 ears to en join 7.1 sound

20:51 schestowitz_TR2; spacial recognition of sounds, I think, it about balance between what yiou hear in both ears, like stereovision

20:51 DaemonFC; Mid/Side stores left and right in a more compact manner. It decodes back into L/R.

20:51 DaemonFC; You can do M/S in either a lossless or lossy manner depending on how you apply it.

20:51 schestowitz_TR2; the industry ran out of ideas

20:51 DaemonFC; MP3 applies it in the incorrect order, meaning there's no way to actually reconstruct the original stereo separation upon decoding.

20:51 schestowitz_TR2; engiuneers got bored

20:51 schestowitz_TR2; and now they make PHONES with 1920pixels across

20:52 Sv; meta verse

20:52 schestowitz_TR2; with batteries that barely last one day

20:52 DaemonFC; FLAC and WavPack do M/S too.

20:52 DaemonFC; It's also called Channel Coupling.

20:53 Sv; after metaverse you will get stuf streamed directly into your barin

20:53 Sv; brain

20:53 schestowitz_TR2; vr has a new name

20:53 schestowitz_TR2; "metaverse"

20:53 schestowitz_TR2; in 20077 it was "Second Life"

20:54 DaemonFC; Vorbis has a take on it too. You can do dual stereo, lossless (M/S), or Phase, which essentially permanently destroys the stereo coupling to save more space and just results in an approximation.

20:54 schestowitz_TR2; DaemonFC: yiou have fetishised FLAC as long as I'vew known you

20:54 DaemonFC; At q6 or higher, channel coupling is always lossless, but it saves some bits.

20:54 schestowitz_TR2; how many speakers are around you right now?

20:54 activelow; the problem isn't the bitrate, the problem is de/encoders/samplers need _headroom_ to prevent digital _clipping_

20:54 DaemonFC; Oh, I have a shelf system in the bedroom.

20:54 Sv; you mean joint stereo

20:55 DaemonFC; I have a soundbar with a woofer in the livingroom.

20:55 DaemonFC; A set of airpods. My Sony MDR-7506 headphones.

20:55 DaemonFC; And a Bose Wave Music System IV on the way.

20:55 schestowitz_TR2; DaemonFC: headphones are dual

20:55 schestowitz_TR2; l/r

20:55 activelow; higher sampling/bitrates cannot prevent digital clipping if headrom for de/reencoding/sampling is missing

20:55 activelow; *headroom

20:55 schestowitz_TR2; speakers are just glorified high-frequency vibtators

20:55 schestowitz_TR2; the woofer is justa specialised one

20:56 schestowitz_TR2; better at high amplitude for low frequencies

20:56 DaemonFC; Yes, with the woofer connected, the soundbar does not play those frequencies. It passes them along.

20:57 schestowitz_TR2; if you play a piano or other stringed instrument the sound is produced by vibrations from many more sources

20:57 activelow; it is unpredictable which type of clipping artifacts (dis-harmonic distortions) digital encoders produce when headroom is missing

20:57 Sv; why streaming services dont use 60 fps?

20:57 activelow; _all_ encoders at any bitrate/sampling-rate require headroom

20:57 Sv; movies are 24 fps only

20:57 schestowitz_TR2; "HD"

20:57 schestowitz_TR2; when you watch from 10 feet away

20:58 schestowitz_TR2; of course at the shop they demonstrate that to you from one meter away

20:58 Sv; you coulf do 30 fps and it would look smoyhe

20:58 Sv; smoth

20:58 Sv; i recon 30 fps should be enought

20:58 schestowitz_TR2; the industry lost marketing points

20:58 schestowitz_TR2; they now sell HD and massive screens

20:58 schestowitz_TR2; you could get 4 smaller ones for the same price

20:58 schestowitz_TR2; and combined these

20:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 32.75 k/sec., IPFS upstream 5.16 average k/sec., average swarm size 0

20:59 activelow; average framerates do not account for latency jitter (in the miliseconds range)

20:59 DaemonFC; There's been little point in buying a new TV in about the last 7 years or so unless yours just happens to break down.

20:59 schestowitz_TR2; maybe they should make better movies again

20:59 activelow; that's why, a 30fps low-jitter video-stream can be smooth and a 60fps high-jitter video-stream may not be

20:59 Sv; instead of having more pixel per inch they do bigger screens

20:59 schestowitz_TR2; rather than focus on how many pixels and frames they squeeze through

20:59 Sv; its cheaper


9 PM, May 30

21:00 schestowitz_TR2; but it's easier to 'brute-force' than to write better scripts

21:00 schestowitz_TR2; Sv: yes!!

21:00 schestowitz_TR2; Now they have new marketing terms

21:00 schestowitz_TR2; like "retina"

21:00 Sv; new?

21:00 schestowitz_TR2; that just means density of pixels is how it ssshould be

21:00 schestowitz_TR2; now many l;aptops come with 1080x1920 screens

21:00 schestowitz_TR2; that was considered "special" years ago

21:01 Sv; that retina stuff must be like over 10 yo

21:01 schestowitz_TR2; those screens do not cost much

21:01 schestowitz_TR2; 5 years ago about 80 pouuds for brand new, 22 inch

21:01 MinceR; afaik only crApple uses that idiotic "retina" term

21:01 schestowitz_TR2; so an array of 4 for 320 pounds

21:02 Sv; cause only meth heads can tell the difrence?

21:02 schestowitz_TR2; almost 4000 pixels acoss or 7500 is laid horizontally

21:02 schestowitz_TR2; MinceR: no

21:02 schestowitz_TR2; it spread like a virus

21:02 schestowitz_TR2; but people with Jobs envy

21:02 DaemonFC; I do understand the argument that Amar Bose made about specification in speaker technology.

21:02 schestowitz_TR2; all those sound brands are BS

21:03 schestowitz_TR2; you can get a decent logitech cheaply

21:03 DaemonFC; Just because they can do, say, a range of frequency response, does not mean they do them well or accurately, or in a way that will be pleasing when a person actually hears it.

21:03 schestowitz_TR2; bang and ulofson is ripoff

21:03 schestowitz_TR2; for people with more money than they can figure out... what to do with

21:03 DaemonFC; So I mean, there is a degree of subjectiveness to it there, that does defy logic.

21:03 schestowitz_TR2; use casew

21:03 DaemonFC; <schestowitz_TR2> bang and ulofson is ripoff

21:03 schestowitz_TR2; carl goes to shop

21:04 DaemonFC; Well, HP makes really shitty laptops.

21:04 DaemonFC; And they use those speakers.

21:04 schestowitz_TR2; pays $1000 for a sound system demoed with marketing-optimised stuff

21:04 DaemonFC; The Bang and Ulofson ones.

21:04 schestowitz_TR2; goes home, connected it to TV

21:04 DaemonFC; In a laptop.

21:04 schestowitz_TR2; shit quality

21:04 schestowitz_TR2; connects it to android phone with mp3

21:04 DaemonFC; And of course, like any laptop, you turn the speakers up and it's terrible.

21:04 schestowitz_TR2; shit again

21:04 DaemonFC; Just terrible.

21:04 schestowitz_TR2; so congrats

21:04 Sv; bang and ulofson looks right with your ikea furniture

21:04 schestowitz_TR2; you bought a $50 product for 20 times th eprice

21:05 schestowitz_TR2; but your guests, if any, will be impressed by the brand

21:05 MinceR; 30 220312 < DaemonFC> Just because they can do, say, a range of frequency response, does not mean they do them well or accurately, or in a way that will be pleasing when a person actually hears it.

21:05 schestowitz_TR2; Sv: yes, it's a fashion statement

21:05 MinceR; they could provide frequency response graphs, then.

21:05 DaemonFC; Well, I doubt that the Bose Wave system I bought is the actual BEST stereo you can get, but it also probably does outperform what you'd expect given the size of the system.

21:05 schestowitz_TR2; DaemonFC: same with hdmi screens

21:05 schestowitz_TR2; for compliance purposes they typically need headphone jack, socket

21:05 schestowitz_TR2; but they put the worst possible components there

21:06 schestowitz_TR2; just to tick that box

21:06 DaemonFC; The fact that it isn't 5 times larger and in three or four pieces with wiring going everywhere.

21:06 schestowitz_TR2; on laptops it varies

21:06 schestowitz_TR2; but you are better off sticking in headphones

21:06 activelow; almost always frequency response of speakers is screwed due to speaker positioning

21:06 schestowitz_TR2; or external sound system that does not come with the laptop, increasing its market value by like $500

21:06 activelow; and headphones have other disadvantages

21:06 DaemonFC; Well, you know, one possible use of the Wave System would be for your television.

21:06 Sv; to bad they cant make 7.1 headbuds

21:06 schestowitz_TR2; and when the laptop dies you get to keep the sound system

21:07 DaemonFC; You could use it instead of a soundbar. Just run a 3.5 mm cord or an RCA to 3.5 mm Y cable to the Aux In on the Bose.

21:07 activelow; the 5.1 and 7.1 systems are marketing scam, it is technical rubbish

21:08 DaemonFC; <schestowitz_TR2> how much does a soundbar cost?

21:08 activelow; in fact, 5.1 and 7.1 systems achieve what a high quality stereo system tries to avoid: undesirable phase-shifts

21:08 DaemonFC; As much as you want to pay.

21:08 DaemonFC; Bose sells soundbars for like $2,300 + tax.

21:08 schestowitz_TR2; (side story, in 2013 I bought a 7 piece logitech off ebay for 35 pounds, lasted me until last year when it just died)

21:08 DaemonFC; But thanks to the supply crisis, they have been having in stock problems.

21:08 DaemonFC; On the other hand, you can get a cheap Walmart brand one for less than $60.

21:09 schestowitz_TR2; so it's made in sweatshops

21:09 DaemonFC; It will be a step up from the TV speakers.

21:09 schestowitz_TR2; supply chain

21:09 schestowitz_TR2; I wonder how much Bose pays for labour and material

21:09 schestowitz_TR2; one option you have is sound multiplexing

21:10 schestowitz_TR2; get several systems on the cheap

21:10 schestowitz_TR2; then a signal splitter

21:10 schestowitz_TR2; I did this since I was a teen

21:10 schestowitz_TR2; my laptop has a plitter connected to it, you can hook up several devices at once

21:10 DaemonFC; But whenever I see something that ends in "ate" I can't help but saying it like a Dalek now.

21:10 schestowitz_TR2; in lennartaudio you cannot send to multiple sourced at once

21:11 schestowitz_TR2; *sourcers

21:11 DaemonFC; <schestowitz_TR2> I wonder how much Bose pays for labour and material

21:11 schestowitz_TR2; a lot of things are underutilised

21:11 schestowitz_TR2; why can't I get all the laptop to play the same thing at once

21:11 schestowitz_TR2; over the network?

21:11 DaemonFC; Probably not a lot. You're paying for a brand and the fact that they own patents and nobody else can make a system like that without either paying for royalties, or getting sued.

21:12 DaemonFC; And Bose doesn't sell the royalties, so they enter into deals where you get a Bose system in your car or something, like I have.

21:13 DaemonFC; The R&D probably cost them a lot at one point, a long time ago.

21:13 DaemonFC; Then they just tweak it and get more patents.

21:13 DaemonFC; It's like those Brita water filters.

21:13 DaemonFC; Here we are 30 years on, it's not illegal for someone else to make a water filter, but Brita keeps building a better one and patenting it.

21:14 DaemonFC; So as long as they can build a better mousetrap, then they still get the spoils.

21:14 DaemonFC; If someone wants to make a water filter that works exactly like the Brita cartridge from 1995, they can do that. It's not patented anymore, but those original Brita filters clogged up and were a nuisance.

21:14 DaemonFC; And they fixed that and got more patents.

21:15 DaemonFC; Now those patents will expire in like another 3 years.

21:15 DaemonFC; So they went back and designed a gravity fed carbon block filter that does a decent job, good flow rate.

21:15 DaemonFC; Everyone else will clone their second generation filter soon, but it won't be the best one you can buy.

21:16 *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

21:16 DaemonFC; They stagger improvements until their patents are getting old, and then they file the patent on the improvement so they have time to get everyone transitioned to that and where they don't want the old model anymore.

21:17 DaemonFC; So Bose speakers, Brita filters, MPEG codecs.

21:17 DaemonFC; It all basically works that way.

21:18 DaemonFC; HEVC is a disaster not just in trying to license the patents, but a performance disaster as well, especially on the encoding side, but decoding is likely going to be hard on a lot of stuff even older than 2016, so not THAT long ago.

21:18 DaemonFC; I can play AV1 videos without my 2016 laptop breaking a sweat, but it's going full tilt when I try to run HEVC, and that's WITH a hardware-accelerated profile in the video chip!

21:19 DaemonFC; dav1d works better than HEVC, even though it's running entirely on the CPU.

21:19 DaemonFC; Now MPEG-LA is worried that they won't get the chance to dictate standards anymore, and then file a million patents on the new standard.

21:21 DaemonFC; It's nasty, but it's how business works in the current legal framework.

21:22 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, I noticed that when I raised the possibility of the Batteries Plus guy "potentially infringing on GM's intellectual property" is about the time he gave up.

21:23 DaemonFC; I read somewhere that if the card networks rule that a merchant is selling counterfeit goods, they can cut them off from the payment network completely.

21:23 *Despatche has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

21:24 DaemonFC; So if MasterCard had made that ruling in the arbitration proceeding, it could have made his store unable to accept 48% of the credit and debit cards issued in the United States.

21:24 DaemonFC; :P

21:25 schestowitz_TR2; MPEG-LA no longer does just MPEG

21:25 schestowitz_TR2; it's insane

21:25 schestowitz_TR2; with the same name, they now do anything they can get their hands on
