[04:58] DaemonFC The owner's manual advises topping it off if it is half a quart low.

[05:28] mjg59_ He has an entire webpage on it!
[05:28] highest_cubist_thrills no, i read that page.
[05:28] highest_cubist_thrills and i agree with leah on it
[05:29] highest_cubist_thrills there no refusal to do anything on that page.
[05:29] highest_cubist_thrills and i dont just mean this to the letter
[05:29] highest_cubist_thrills the spirit of that page clearly has nothing to do with refusal either
[05:29] mjg59_ He will literally use his own choice of pronouns rather than the ones he's requested to use

[05:30] highest_cubist_thrills i was a big fan of singular they before it was a (mainstream, well known among cis) trans thing
[05:30] highest_cubist_thrills because it makes life so much easier
[05:31] highest_cubist_thrills rms is going full-on ada with this
[05:31] highest_cubist_thrills like an ambiguous pronoun will somehow lead to a major vulnerability in language
[05:31] highest_cubist_thrills im putting words in his mouth, but this is how i see it.
[05:31] highest_cubist_thrills but this is just him being anal-retentive about language
[05:32] highest_cubist_thrills you are committing at least as much of a similar error when you see a refusal anywhere in that text
[05:32] highest_cubist_thrills he is not demanding anything, or refusing anything
[05:32] highest_cubist_thrills that is not the point or intent of his text
[05:32] mjg59_ Oh, I'm not referring to the text

[15:39] schestowitz[TR] and use FUD to caution you about using "generic" car oil
[15:39] DaemonFC You can pour it in your engine and use it, but it voids the warranty in most newer cars.
[15:39] schestowitz[TR] Big (Car)Oil ;-)
[15:40] DaemonFC The car companies only warrant the engine if you use motor oil that complies with the specification.

[15:40] schestowitz[TR] for "yuor safety"
[15:40] schestowitz[TR] "smarrrrrt"
[15:40] DaemonFC Yeah, so far they can't do that.
[15:41] DaemonFC But if you use unapproved oil and it starts sludging the engine, they can absolutely say they refuse to warrant it and they suspect you've used the incorrect oil.
[15:41] schestowitz[TR] "my car is soooo smammrt... it knows everything about me... even knows how to contact the police, the local authoritiwes, and Microsofrt"
[15:41] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: you can deny
[15:42] DaemonFC Engine sludge is a pretty bad problem. One that you can easily avoid by using higher end motor oils, even in older cars that don't strictly need it.
[15:42] DaemonFC You end up paying about the same, even a little less, over time, with the synthetics.
[15:42] DaemonFC You can drive longer between changes.
[15:43] DaemonFC You're not going to "blow up the engine" in an older car using conventional oil, but you have to change it out about twice as often.

[15:51] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], I do ignore the manual for oil sometimes. But only because either the OEM has tested and approved a different viscosity later on that wasn't on the market when the manual was printed, or because the viscosity index range is superior to what the manual requires under the conditions in which I expect to be using the car.
[15:52] DaemonFC I used 0w20 in the Ford and 0w30 in my GM 3800s.
[15:52] schestowitz[TR] we use taxi now
[15:52] schestowitz[TR] no need for manual
[15:52] schestowitz[TR] just landline
[15:52] DaemonFC It gets brutally cold here in the winter and that's not a bad idea.
[15:52] schestowitz[TR] no need for gps either
[15:52] DaemonFC They call for 5w20 and 5w30.
[15:52] DaemonFC It's that second number that's more important.
[15:53] schestowitz[TR] ok
[15:53] DaemonFC It's where the oil viscosity index is at under full operating temperature.
[15:53] DaemonFC The first number is at cold start and between that and operating temp.
[15:53] DaemonFC So if you go with 0w, basically it just flows better in the cold and reaches the top of the engine faster.
[15:54] DaemonFC The car also tends to start a bit easier when the temperature is extremely cold.
[15:54] TR News CoCs are about control, not safety. I never heard of someone getting killed or mained at a FOSS event.
[15:54] schestowitz[TR] *maimed
[15:54] DaemonFC There's a video on Youtube showing the flow rate of 5w30 and 0w30 full synthetic oil at -20 F.
[15:55] DaemonFC The 5w30 is like a viscous pancake syrup that you've been storing in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
[15:56] DaemonFC And the 0w30 flows almost like water at that temperature. It's a pretty big difference. But....around 5 degrees F, there's no longer a big difference anymore. So you get far enough down south, you're likely safe to just use 5w30 all year.
[15:58] DaemonFC The longer it takes oil to reach the critical parts of the engine and to begin lubricating them, the longer they run "dry" and the sooner your engine fails or doing nasty things due to excessive wear.
[15:59] DaemonFC It's better to ensure that it doesn't happen, because worn out pistons or spun bearings are basically going to be "time to start looking for another car" if you've got serious age or mileage on it.
[15:59] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], If people just took better care of what they have it would last them longer.
● Oct 04
[16:00] DaemonFC The manufacturer doesn't want you to change out transmission fluids and filters, because if the transmission fails, you need a new car.
[16:00] DaemonFC Think about it from their angle and then think why they deleted that from recent owners manuals.
[16:01] DaemonFC The manufacturer doesn't really mind if you don't flush your coolant out when you should.
[16:01] DaemonFC If your coolant system plugs up and your engine overheats, you're back buying a new car.
[16:02] DaemonFC So these cars are very "low maintained". Just buy another one every 5 years. You'll be a lot happier. Many things have improved! Just look at how safe this one is. It's running software from mjg59_ that scans your facial expressions in real time and decides whether you're too tired or drunk to drive.
[16:02] DaemonFC Won't you just love that? I mean, from the people who brought you "The steering wheel fights you when you try to change lanes to get on the freeway.".
[16:03] DaemonFC If I had a car that tried to scan my face to see if I was too tired to drive, there'd be no way to get Mandy to work in the morning.
[16:04] DaemonFC The Democrats think they can make cars so horrible and expensive that poor people give up trying to have one while rich people still have 50 of them and 9 private jets that they get in to fly 50 miles.
[16:05] DaemonFC The goal of the Democratic Party is to lower the living standard of the bottom 90% to "free up resources". They're an elitist bunch of snobs, and it's time someone sent the fuckers packing.
[16:06] DaemonFC I have an idea for people in Florida. Maybe try getting away from the ocean instead of expecting tax payers to rebuild your condos every year.
[16:06] DaemonFC Fuck off.
[16:07] DaemonFC Our planet isn't "crying out" for anything. The reason these storms do more damage in dollars every time is because Biden has lowered the value of the dollar 30% since he took office last year....
[16:07] DaemonFC That's for starters.
[16:08] DaemonFC And people have built fucking condos and malls and shit everywhere in Florida and pumped up the "value" in real estate schemes.
[16:08] DaemonFC A lot of the stuff wasn't even built to spec to stand up to the weather that they should expect to hve.
[16:08] DaemonFC Then it all gets knocked over and the federal government hands them more handouts.
[16:10] DaemonFC So they go "Oh, the dollar value of the damage is 50% higher than the last worst one.".

[17:05] highest_cubist_thrills its a limited form of freedom 3 to be sure
[17:05] highest_cubist_thrills what im saying is
[17:05] starstreak the license is GPL, so really you just need a good team to study the source code and work on it
[17:05] highest_cubist_thrills linucks has no future, or present, outside of corporate control

[17:09] starstreak so you're saying free software that becomes too big becomes non free software
[17:09] highest_cubist_thrills im saying its effectively non-free
[17:09] starstreak but the source code license says its still technically forkable
[17:09] highest_cubist_thrills yes, and the permit says you can move mt fuji wherever you like

[17:09] starstreak so thunderbird and firefox are non free?
[17:10] highest_cubist_thrills firefox to be fair, was forked

[17:10] highest_cubist_thrills but as mincer will point out, none of the forks have resulted in freedom
[17:10] highest_cubist_thrills i think icecat was close

[20:58] DaemonFC "What the Democrats have turned into is so bad that on most of my ballot this year for everything that has any real political power where there was an option, I voted for Republicans. Including Darren Bailey. I don't even agree with Darren Bailey or like the guy, I just think starting a food fight with the legislature may slow them down a bit so we don't get so many bills from the Burn Loot Murder caucus passed into law.
[20:58] DaemonFC Even Dictator Pritzker is now running away (softly) from the SAFE-T Act.
[20:58] DaemonFC There are child pornographers, murders, rapists, and a guy who beat a cat so badly it's missing half its face, in Lake County, like just read about these people, and they're the ones who go free without bail, miss their court appearance and the next time the police see them again it's because they've raped and murdered someone else.
[20:58] DaemonFC That's the SAFE-T Act, and that's not even touching the fact that Pritzker's "emergency powers" have not gone away, and they never will as long as he can get away with renewing them and saying COVID is out there.
[20:58] DaemonFC So let me get this straight. 12 people a day dying in a state of nearly 13 million is an emergency when it's COVID, but 100 people a day being shot in Chicago alone is not an emergency at all? Despite all of the "gun laws" they've passed, it just goes up because criminals don't obey the law.
[20:58] DaemonFC I had a traffic ticket last year and I got to talking with my lawyer. We beat the ticket, but while I was talking with him, he said he used to be a public defender. Now, I think criminals should be punished and the punishment should fit the crime, but I have a lot of respect for people who choose to do PD work because it's a thankless job and they're sometimes the last line of defense between a tyrannical court system going after a person who
[20:58] DaemonFC hasn't done anything, or at least anything that bad, but he was telling me the kind of clients he'd get, and how many of them spat at him and told him to go f**k himself. Their own lawyer! Who was representing them instead of getting some cushy private clients.
[20:58] DaemonFC And so we not only get criminals on the street who are some pretty bad folks under SAFE-T, but they're so stupid they assault their own defense attorney in open court."

[21:26] DaemonFC The entire point of mjg59_'s "shim" is to evade the GPL's anti-DRM provisions.
[21:27] DaemonFC If they tried to "sign" GRUB and then tell you that you couldn't run modified versions of it, they'd be in violation of the GPL.

[21:36] mjg59_ DaemonFC: LVFS won't install any dbx updates that correspond to the currently installed boot chain (or, at least, it's not meant to - it's certainly possible there are bugs there)
[21:37] techuser will the kernel remain indefinitely though?
[21:37] techuser or they also make it a part of systemd somehow
