06:29 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], The Listerine part made me wonder.

06:30 IsambardPrince; They denature the Listerine to dicourage people from drinking it.

06:30 IsambardPrince; But the Zerowater took the green food coloring out.

06:30 IsambardPrince; Zerowater can take almost all the "stuff" out of water, including the Magnesium and Calcium and Lead and eve Fluoride which most filters don't get.

06:32 IsambardPrince; I wonder if it does remove what they're denaturing the Listerine with.

06:32 IsambardPrince; I mean, it's not real cost effective at that point because you're wrecking a Zerowater filter, but kids can buy Listerine and they can buy a Zerowater.

06:35 IsambardPrince; It would be interesting if someone could lab test the filtered listerine and see what's still there.

08:14 schestowitz[TR2]; nothing clever

08:14 IsambardPrince; Then they kept making people buy a new phone every 2 or 3 years and it didn't run anything the last one did because they went from Windows CE to NT.

08:14 schestowitz[TR2]; just means

08:14 schestowitz[TR2]; they sell the same for different prices

08:14 schestowitz[TR2]; like airlines did for decades

08:14 IsambardPrince; And by the time they got to Windows Phone 10 it was slow, it was buggy, it was a mess.

08:14 schestowitz[TR2]; this is shit journalism

08:15 IsambardPrince; And they didn't even print, the screens were all bad, they didn't come with a processor that could do very much.

08:16 IsambardPrince; Tabs died when it ran out of the 2 GB RAM that it came with.

08:16 schestowitz[TR2]; ChromeOS did not succeed

08:16 schestowitz[TR2]; it's still relatively small

08:16 IsambardPrince; The only thing about it was it was cheap, it booted fast, and literally all it did was open Chrome and if you didn't open more than about 6-7 tabs you'd probably be okay.

08:17 IsambardPrince; But, you closed Chrome and well, here's this OS that didn't really do anything else.

08:17 IsambardPrince; So it may as well have been a full screen Chrome window that couldn't be closed at that poit.

08:17 IsambardPrince; *point

08:17 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], The Chromebook section at Best Buy and Walmart has a respectable area of the electronics section.

08:18 IsambardPrince; It's not costing Google a fortune at this point, there's still potential they haven't tapped for some reason.

08:19 IsambardPrince; I think that fanning outward and making the Linux experience on them better would probably end up appealing to a lot of people who are like me.

08:19 IsambardPrince; It isn't "nobody". It's just that the growth potential here is not going to come from the Mac side for sure.

08:19 IsambardPrince; Many people using Windows are dumb as hell.

08:20 IsambardPrince; So you need to make Linux application first class citizens and that could be done, but otherwise this is going to cannibalize Linux, not Windows or Mac.

08:21 IsambardPrince; When I say dumb as hell, I mean Windows users are a good cross sampling of the public at large, and the public tends to be dumb as hell.

08:21 IsambardPrince; If they weren't, I mean, come on. Trump, Harris, distant third is Brain Worm Guy?

18:16 schestowitz[TR2]; even 20 years ago

18:16 schestowitz[TR2]; you get hired at 20

18:16 schestowitz[TR2]; what happeens when you turn 30, 40...

18:16 schestowitz[TR2]; as some x86 drone?

18:16 psydruid; hire them so competitors don't have them

18:16 schestowitz[TR2]; and it's the the end of their shitshow?

18:16 psydruid; exactly

18:16 schestowitz[TR2]; it's like "I used to work at Novell"

18:22 psydruid; people are moving to QEMU/KVM in droves, usually by way of Proxmox

18:22 schestowitz[TR2]; very efficient workers do the same

18:22 schestowitz[TR2]; again and again

18:22 schestowitz[TR2]; like greg kh with LTS releases

18:22 schestowitz[TR2]; when that skills becomes outdated

18:23 psydruid; I think he's safe for another 20 years

18:23 schestowitz[TR2]; daniel cantarin has an article about it

18:23 schestowitz[TR2]; we'll publish parts this coming week

18:23 schestowitz[TR2]; he optimisdd for the wrong thing

18:23 schestowitz[TR2]; in webdev

18:23 schestowitz[TR2]; skills that are no longer of value

18:23 schestowitz[TR2]; in argentinian economy even

18:24 psydruid; that's particularly bad

18:24 schestowitz[TR2]; <psydruid> people are moving to QEMU/KVM in droves, usually by way of Proxmox

18:24 schestowitz[TR2]; we migrated clirnts with it

18:24 schestowitz[TR2]; from vmware to proxmox

18:24 psydruid; I spent 3 months learning basic webdev last year, but as an additional skill

18:25 schestowitz[TR2]; web is baddd

18:25 schestowitz[TR2]; today's web

18:25 schestowitz[TR2]; it's quite bad

18:25 schestowitz[TR2]; they expect you

18:25 psydruid; I just prefer doing things at the system level

18:25 schestowitz[TR2]; a) JS frameworks

18:25 psydruid; I know

18:25 schestowitz[TR2]; b) clown

18:25 schestowitz[TR2]; noo real server, just "did you use aws before??"

18:25 schestowitz[TR2]; so you see where that goes

18:25 psydruid; that's why it's just another skill in my toolbox for my own gain

18:25 schestowitz[TR2]; do you memorise all the Vue.js stuff?

18:25 schestowitz[TR2]; no need to know HTML

18:26 psydruid; I don't know any of it

18:26 schestowitz[TR2]; because you do NOT actuallyt DO HTML

18:26 schestowitz[TR2]; you glue together finction calls

18:26 schestowitz[TR2]; no need to work with files

18:26 schestowitz[TR2]; because... tada! aws!

18:26 psydruid; framework of the day doesn't really interest me

18:26 schestowitz[TR2]; they change fast

18:26 schestowitz[TR2]; it's a fashion

18:26 psydruid; a lot of webdev is also in advertisement

18:26 schestowitz[TR2]; not they might ask

18:27 schestowitz[TR2]; "can you make slop?"

18:27 psydruid; I held off on webdev for 20 years

18:27 schestowitz[TR2]; like,

18:27 schestowitz[TR2]; "can you make 100 fake articles per hour?"

18:27 schestowitz[TR2]; for SEO specified words?

18:27 schestowitz[TR2]; and for "trafficcc" ro "enegagegem,ent

18:27 schestowitz[TR2]; they ask you

18:27 psydruid; knowing just the basics, because it has always felt so convoluted

18:27 schestowitz[TR2]; in effect

18:27 schestowitz[TR2]; "are you a good spammer?"

18:27 psydruid; exactly

18:28 schestowitz[TR2]; but not in those words

18:28 schestowitz[TR2]; look at zdnet

18:28 schestowitz[TR2]; people used to spent days making one article

18:29 psydruid; my only interest is in understanding it well enough to be able to use web technologies in the context of system or traditional application programming

18:29 schestowitz[TR2]; checking facts, contracting people named

18:29 schestowitz[TR2]; now?

18:29 schestowitz[TR2]; it's a spamaroo

18:29 psydruid; where you may use an HTML/CS UI

18:29 schestowitz[TR2]; *spend

18:29 psydruid; as part of Qt or something

18:29 schestowitz[TR2]; their spam washes out the real articles

18:35 schestowitz[TR2]; a lot is about creating "shareholder value"

18:39 schestowitz[TR2]; as a postdoc

18:39 schestowitz[TR2]; research purposes

18:45 schestowitz[TR2]; FOMO

18:46 psydruid; I think my uncle lost a lot of money on the blockchain, making him physically ill and ending with him being hospitalised

18:47 schestowitz[TR2]; sorry to hear..

18:48 psydruid; I learn about things before getting involved with them or not

18:48 psydruid; but too many people don't do their due diligence

18:49 schestowitz[TR2]; that's the "dumb" thing to do

18:49 schestowitz[TR2]; to learn before you do

18:49 schestowitz[TR2]; a friend lost all his life savings

18:49 schestowitz[TR2]; he kept tossing money into "investments"

18:49 schestowitz[TR2]; of the scammer du hour

18:49 schestowitz[TR2]; people who pretended to him they were rich

23:00 IsambardPrince; Mr Pizza, playing Doctor with Bubba.

23:01 IsambardPrince; Peter Bright went around trying to stick his peter in kids. Told Roy to get rid of me from the IRC channel.

23:01 IsambardPrince; Like I keep sayinng.

23:02 IsambardPrince; I know how to fix these people.

23:02 IsambardPrince; Electric bleachers cha cha cha! Electric bleachers cha cha cha!

23:03 IsambardPrince; I mean think about how efficient this would be. You just take them out to the bleachers at the nearest high school and sit them all on it. You know how many people bleachers fit. Like hundreds at a time.

23:03 IsambardPrince; Bleachers are metal.

23:03 IsambardPrince; Just hook them up to the nearest power line.

23:03 IsambardPrince; You can get rid of like 300 sex offenders in one go.

23:03 IsambardPrince; The only lag time would be corpse disposal.

23:04 IsambardPrince; But that's why you do this in every city in the country all at once.

23:04 IsambardPrince; And then you have a public jobs program paying some people real well to go bag them up to be incinerated down in a big pile at the city dump.

23:04 IsambardPrince; That's how they should deal with sex offenders.

23:04 IsambardPrince; Completely cured. Won't be bugging anyone again.

23:05 IsambardPrince; It gets rid of a crime problem.

23:06 IsambardPrince; Kamala Harris can say everyone's employed doing useful work throughout this Depression.

23:06 IsambardPrince; The media can finally stop lying and saying everything is fine, couldn't be better.

23:07 IsambardPrince; I'm not even joking.

23:07 IsambardPrince; I think this ought to be an official program.

23:09 lightbringer; hi not even joking, i'm dad

23:10 lightbringer; and as usual, the problem is trusting the state to determine who's a sex offender with high enough confidence that killing the wrong people is not a problem

23:10 IsambardPrince; You know it's bad when there's a kind of criminal that everyone hates so much (except the Democrats, obviously) that if they end up in prison, the other prisoners will kill them as soon as they find out.

23:11 lightbringer; there are far easier tasks that no state can do reliably

23:11 lightbringer; and no, the other prisoners are also not a reliable decision-making body

23:11 IsambardPrince; It's real simple.

23:11 IsambardPrince; You touch a child under 15 or so in a sexual manner and you end up on the fucking bleachers.

23:12 IsambardPrince; That's my suggestion for the program.

23:12 lightbringer; the Fucking Bleachers -- that's where they get fucked, right?

23:12 IsambardPrince; Over 15, well, we start considering mitigating factors and how much time in prison exactly.

23:13 IsambardPrince; Under 15, the bleachers.

23:13 IsambardPrince; Am I not merciful?

23:13 IsambardPrince; Am I not just?

23:13 IsambardPrince; :P

23:14 IsambardPrince; The problem with the states that have the death sentence and put these people in a room with no oxygen is...

23:14 IsambardPrince; They're not moving fast enough.

23:14 IsambardPrince; But at least they're doing something.

23:14 IsambardPrince; Which is more than I can say for this horrible place.

23:15 lightbringer; "at least they're doing something" is not a sufficient standard for alleged justice

23:16 lightbringer; nor for something people give up their sovereignty to

23:16 IsambardPrince; MinceR, I also think that the State removing their protection is fine too.

23:17 IsambardPrince; There's plenty of people who would love to get their hands on this bunch and go human hunting.

23:17 IsambardPrince; :)

23:17 IsambardPrince; I've said before that if the State won't do anything about a vicious sex offender, it should let them go and not punish anyone for what they do to them after that.

23:18 lightbringer; fine, but if they make one mistake, they get to be hunted too

23:18 IsambardPrince; That seems reasonable.

23:20 IsambardPrince; lightbringer, I have a weird sense of humor.

23:21 IsambardPrince; After the shooting at the Trump rally where they said they didn't get Trump but they killed some of his supporters, I started whistling the Horst Wessel Song.

23:28 psydruid; Jail time be upon him for a long to come

23:28 IsambardPrince; Nail him to a cross and leave him for the crows.

23:40 IsambardPrince; I managed to get all my UPS packages rerouted to the UPS store.

23:40 IsambardPrince; That ought to stop the porch pirates.
