00:02 TR Bot; Farmers must kill 4.2 million chickens after bird flu hits Iowa egg farm

00:03 DaemonFC; Fake bird flu because eggs got to $1.66 a dozen.

00:03 DaemonFC; "Overall, 92.34 million birds have been killed since the outbreak began in 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture."

00:03 DaemonFC; Price controls.

00:04 lord_phanes; most shit like that is just hegelian dialectic

00:05 lord_phanes; there's an international effort with western food pipelines to create a food scarcity

00:05 lord_phanes; then theyre force on us some real nasty cures

00:06 DaemonFC; https://finance.yahoo.com/news/banks-start-bond-sale-roark-135607651.html

00:06 TR Bot; Subways $3.35 Billion Franchise-Backed Bond Is Largest Ever

00:06 lord_phanes; farms catching fire

00:06 DaemonFC; Subway is still in business?

00:06 lord_phanes; methane farts from cows spurring massive downsizing of farming

00:06 DaemonFC; They knew that Jared Fogle was a pedophile and out there raping children for years and didn't fire him.

00:06 lord_phanes; fires

00:07 DaemonFC; Fogle was paying women he dated to find underage girls for him to rape.

00:07 DaemonFC; Boys too.

00:08 DaemonFC; Discount Epstein.

00:08 TR Bot; Techrights GNU/Linux in Cameroon: Rising Steadily While Windows Falls From 99% to Just 6%

00:08 DaemonFC; I don't know why, but most anyone who gets a lot of money ends up doing things like this.

00:09 DaemonFC; He was never a billionaire, but he did more than okay riding on top of a bad fast food chain for the better part of three decades.

00:09 DaemonFC; I started making pedophile jokes about Subway with John.

00:09 DaemonFC; Like "Eat Fresh".

00:10 DaemonFC; Or the "Fogle Scale" of "How creepy is that?"

00:10 DaemonFC; Peter Bright would be a 10 on the Fogle Scale.

00:10 lord_phanes; fogle was an absolute monster

00:11 DaemonFC; As for Subway itself, slime in the ice hoppers, pre-cut lettuce in bags, chicken in bags, meatballs in bags, everything in bags.

00:11 DaemonFC; I mean none of it was actually fresh.

00:12 DaemonFC; They were doing most of that right in front of you in there. They needed another vat of chicken? Just bring it in and cut the bag and dump it in.

00:12 DaemonFC; They aren't in there cooking, cutting, seasoning anything.

00:12 DaemonFC; It's basically the most ghetto sandwich shop out there which is why they can still do $6 footlongs and BOGOs.

00:14 DaemonFC; lord_phanes: The Democrats got rid of the grocery tax and said they helped working families recently.

00:15 DaemonFC; Then buried a line that said "But local governments can now impose their own."

00:15 DaemonFC; :)

00:15 DaemonFC; "We'll stop raping you, but those other guys can rape you, if they want."

00:20 DaemonFC; The Democrats ban red M&Ms while they float another bill legalizing crack cocaine.

00:21 DaemonFC; These people really just need to fuck off and die.

00:27 DaemonFC; My computer just went into a coma for a few minutes.

00:27 DaemonFC; Fucking LOL No Vo piece of shit.

00:28 DaemonFC; There's no way that a M1 Macbook could possibly be worse even with a bunch of demented people writing Linux drivers in Rust.

00:28 MinceR; lol

00:29 MinceR; then i have 4 words for you: "Please Stop Using X.Org"

00:29 DaemonFC; Lenovo Firmware: "Oh I see you plugged in an external hard disk over USB Type C. What's that? I should reroute the display to it and then put the computer to sleep? CAN DO!!!"

00:29 DaemonFC; :D

00:32 DaemonFC; MinceR: So dealing with GLAMOR and writing a simplistic DDX is too much for them?

00:32 DaemonFC; Wayland is horrific.

00:32 MinceR; so's asahi linux

00:33 DaemonFC; This system of portals is so fucked that it makes the X11 model of "Open a window and dump this into it." look great.

00:33 DaemonFC; It's the userspace answer to a question no user ever asked.

00:33 MinceR; they aren't listening to users

00:33 DaemonFC; "Can we place have something like Kernel Lockdown in the graphics, sound, and input system?"

00:33 MinceR; they're listening to upper management and spooks

00:34 DaemonFC; *please

00:34 DaemonFC; MinceR: I may just switch to Xfce so at least that will still work in a global XWayland Rootfull context.

00:35 MinceR; lol

00:35 MinceR; xfce that works

00:35 MinceR; that's something i'd like having access to

00:35 DaemonFC; It shoves most of the Wayland nightmare off to the side so at least the programs can interact with each other.

00:35 MinceR; i have very minor demands from xfce

00:35 MinceR; like that the panel shouldn't shit itself if i delete a panel

00:36 DaemonFC; It still does that?

00:36 DaemonFC; Maybe lxqt or whatever.

00:36 DaemonFC; I don't know.

00:36 DaemonFC; Those small desktops end up being like Lawrence of Arabia said.

00:37 DaemonFC; There is nothing in the desert...and no man needs nothing.

00:37 MinceR; i don't know, i gave up on xfce

00:37 DaemonFC; You end up pulling in all sorts of shit from KDE or GNOME anyway.

00:37 DaemonFC; And then you still have a dumpster fire.

00:37 DaemonFC; But GNOME is by far worse.

00:38 DaemonFC; This is what you get when you go looking for developers from the Folsom Street Fair and California Psychics.

00:38 DaemonFC; (And the President of GNOME....)

00:40 DaemonFC; MinceR: Maybe if you do a rain dance you can have your titlebar buttons back.

00:41 MinceR; lol

07:16 Sompi; Developing yet another operating system would just be a huge waste of public money

07:18 IsambardPrince; Some people do it anyway.

07:19 IsambardPrince; Or they add technical debt to Linux which won't age well.

07:19 IsambardPrince; They think that having to support old GCC versions for oddities and quirks is bad now.

07:20 IsambardPrince; Rust ages like a fine beer, left out in the sunlight, in clear glass bottles.

07:20 Sompi; And more important than having our own operating system(s) is to have an open digital infrastructure where the APIs can be used with self-made implementations

07:21 Sompi; and the most important thing is to NOT digitalize things that don't need it

07:23 IsambardPrince; 20 years of self-sabotage from HaikuOS made sure nobody wanted to maintain their software on that.

07:23 IsambardPrince; And as such, the most interesting thing about it is Wine.

07:33 schestowitz[TR2]; "The technical debt point is quite relevant but it is also a matter of

07:33 schestowitz[TR2]; control. It would make far more sense for the politicians to put their

07:33 schestowitz[TR2]; weight behing an existing distro like Linux Mint, but with pre-declared

07:33 schestowitz[TR2]; pain points about when to fork, and how to prevent the conditions which would

07:33 schestowitz[TR2]; necessitate a fork.

07:33 schestowitz[TR2]; As for not digitizing certain things, the idea there is the 'right tool for

07:33 schestowitz[TR2]; the job' but that gets in the way of scammers, frauds, poseurs, and

07:33 schestowitz[TR2]; carpetbaggers who want to get in on a grift.

07:33 schestowitz[TR2]; Why pay 1x for something when you can pay 10x or higher for the same or lesser

07:33 schestowitz[TR2]; results? (such is their apparent reasoning)

07:33 schestowitz[TR2]; HaikuOS has been showing a lot of movement in recent years."

08:45 schestowitz[TR2]; or cheaper

08:45 IsambardPrince; Right, Chromebooks and Macs have had a moment because Microsoft is actively finding ways to make Windows a lot worse.

08:45 schestowitz[TR2]; iOS comes with only oone device type

08:45 schestowitz[TR2]; it cannot be liecnsed by third party

08:45 schestowitz[TR2]; (yet)

08:45 IsambardPrince; So that makes for a barbell market.

08:45 schestowitz[TR2]; so it gambles on being cheaper in poor countries

08:45 IsambardPrince; Premium (Apple) and cheap and "it works" (Chromebook)

22:12 IsambardPrince; I dropped by the Village public services office today. Apparently there's something over in the mains that's clogging it.

22:12 IsambardPrince; Maybe people flushing condoms and tampons and diapers, oh my.

22:13 IsambardPrince; Hamburger grease. Everything that doesn't go down a drain.

22:13 IsambardPrince; It doesn't help that there's a huge hill up the road.

22:41 IsambardPrince; schestowitz-pi2: Matrix.org has pretty much died.

22:41 IsambardPrince; There is no conversation. Room are flooded with spammers offering drugs, and worse.

22:42 IsambardPrince; No moderation being done at all.

22:43 IsambardPrince; I wonder if Discord at least has active moderated rooms.

22:44 IsambardPrince; I know they laid off heavily in "Trust and Safety", which is the censors, but some things should be removed and have bans.

22:44 IsambardPrince; And when it crosses over into stuff like what's going on in Matrix.org they should definitely do that.

22:53 IsambardPrince; I talked to the Village and they said nobody in this area has a toilet because the clog wasn't the only problem.

22:53 IsambardPrince; Whatever it was got sucked into the city pump and destroyed it.

22:54 IsambardPrince; I just had to take my morning shit in the trash can and carry the garbage out.

22:56 IsambardPrince; I admit it's been a while since I've had to do that. Back when I was renting a room for $60 a week.

22:56 IsambardPrince; No heater. knob and tube wiring.

22:56 IsambardPrince; Hornets and possums invading.

22:57 IsambardPrince; A possum got in one day and I don't remember if that's before or after I had the cat.

22:57 IsambardPrince; Anyway, I chased it out through a hole in the wall with a broom.

22:58 IsambardPrince; It was hissing and showing its teeth and then it ran through the wall. So I moved some furniture in front of the wall and then came back with a board and some nails from the hardware store and nailed a board into the wall so he couldn't get back into my room.

22:58 IsambardPrince; The landlord came out with a live trap and some cheese and peanut butter, never did catch it.

22:59 IsambardPrince; It got so terribly cold there in the winter that it's like that Ron White joke where his wife asked what the temperature was and he says "There isn't one."

11 PM, May 29

23:00 IsambardPrince; I had been buying antifreeze and just doing top offs on my radiator every so often until it was so rusted out that I could barely make it to the shop with some hose water in the system.

23:01 IsambardPrince; And by the shop I mean mom leaned on her husband and he ended up letting me use the one for semi trucks that had lifts and everything.

23:02 IsambardPrince; So I could at least get the front end off the car and work at arm level to get a new radiator and hoses on it.

23:02 IsambardPrince; He would do things for me that didn't cost him anything to get her to stop nagging him.

23:03 IsambardPrince; But here we are again. Shitting in the trash can.

23:03 IsambardPrince; The more things change.

23:03 IsambardPrince; Last time it's because they expected three people to share a single bathroom and there was always someone in there.

23:06 IsambardPrince; The kitchen sink and bathtub still works.

23:06 IsambardPrince; Why would those be on another line?

23:06 IsambardPrince; I don't know about things like this but sounds like it could be a lot worse.

23:26 IsambardPrince; "Macron: France "ready" to recognize a Palestinian state after reforms to Palestinian Authority"

23:26 IsambardPrince; Well, if those reforms include not sponsoring the murder of gay people or suicide bombers, or firing anymore rockets, France should recognize that for less than a day.

23:26 IsambardPrince; So it's an easy guarantee to make.

23:27 IsambardPrince; What is standing in the way of a "Palestinian State" are the Palestinians themselves.

23:27 IsambardPrince; If they would renounce violence then they would have had a state a long time ago.

23:28 IsambardPrince; The violence doesn't get you anything except more blowback.

23:28 IsambardPrince; It ensures that there will be minimal sympathy for you, internationally.

23:29 IsambardPrince; If there was renunciation of violence I'd be on the side of giving them a recognized state by now. It's not that difficult to figure out why they don't win hearts and minds.

23:30 TR Bot; Live updates: Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, deadly Rafah strike sparks global outcry

23:30 IsambardPrince; The Merkova is an interesting tank.

23:30 IsambardPrince; One reason the Israelis have so few losses of their tank crews is that the tank is "backwards", in that the engine in most tanks are on the back of the tank.

23:31 IsambardPrince; The Merkova puts it on the front, which is the most likely place to get a direct hit.

23:31 IsambardPrince; Those tank engines are pretty solidly built, so it effectively acts as more armor.

23:32 IsambardPrince; "US floating pier for Gaza aid now almost completely dismantled, satellite images show"

23:32 IsambardPrince; $320 million well spent.

23:32 IsambardPrince; Worth every penny in US debt to China.

23:34 IsambardPrince; The Democrats could have reformed immigration law several times, it's like defeating their own $15 minimum wage federally, they say they want things, then they get in and do none of it, and then the Republicans get in and they actively make things worse.

23:34 IsambardPrince; Then the Democrats get in and sabotage their own reforms some more.

23:34 IsambardPrince; So the system inches towards being shittier and shittier, and further and further to the right.

23:35 IsambardPrince; And most people can't earn enough money to live, or see a doctor, or even get their immigration case heard, and nothing ever gets better, only worse.

23:35 IsambardPrince; This paves the way for Trump to return.

23:35 IsambardPrince; It's a ratchet and clank system.

23:35 IsambardPrince; Then Trump will shut down the government, and the Democrats will get him whatever he wants, and hundreds of miles of new border wall, sure.

23:36 IsambardPrince; They want the wall anyway.

23:36 IsambardPrince; Trump will make sure we have the government shutting down again every few months.

23:36 IsambardPrince; And he doesn't care what the consequences are.

23:37 IsambardPrince; During a government shutdown, he would do things like reopen national parks, but only in states like Wyoming. It was illegal, but the park workers would come in and get paid, and the park didn't shut down, and nobody ever stopped him.

23:38 IsambardPrince; Before the 1980s, this is how the entire government kept running during a lapse in funding.

23:38 IsambardPrince; Everything remained open and the administration just figured Congress would eventually authorize it.

23:38 IsambardPrince; Then Presidents started doing "shutdowns" because they figured out that if they could just wait long enough everyone would scream and they'd get what they wanted.

23:40 IsambardPrince; Supposedly, Newt Gingrich shut down the federal government in 1995 because Bill Clinton made him sit in the back of Air Force One on the way to Yasser Arafat's funeral.

23:40 IsambardPrince; Not Arafat...

23:40 IsambardPrince; Who was that?

23:40 IsambardPrince; It on Channel 1 at the time.

23:40 IsambardPrince; Anyway, they were on their way to a funeral and he had to sit in the back and so he made everyone in America miserable.

23:45 IsambardPrince; MinceR: This phone is annoying.

23:45 IsambardPrince; I have a burner app on it.

23:46 IsambardPrince; And when I go to press speakerphone, it senses my finger there and assumes that I have my face near the phone and turns off the screen.

23:46 IsambardPrince; So you just have to hit it before the light sensor turns the screen off.
