Fri 20:28:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3]: This 2016 laptop is still fast enough to game on for the most part.
Fri 20:28:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I got GTA Vice City and San Andreas Definitive Edition working.
Fri 20:28:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ San Andreas looks a lot better than it did in 2005.
Fri 20:29:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I thought Vice City looked impressive in 2002, but it looks terribly dated now and most of the map is pretty non-interactive.
Fri 20:40:38 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ At the moment I'm playing Open TTD....great game, one of my favourites.
Fri 20:48:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I disabled all the CPU mitigations and updated to Kubuntu 26.04 LTS even before the release.
Fri 20:48:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Canonical backed out a Intel GPU mitigation that was bringing down performance by about 20%.
Fri 20:48:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's how bad Intel has gotten.
Fri 20:49:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That people would rather live with the vulnerabilities than see their computer sandbagged like this.
Fri 20:49:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There were two options on this computer. The Iris 540 or the Intel 520, the Iris 540 being about 40% faster than the baseline option.
Fri 20:49:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I have the 540 on this.
Fri 20:50:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ With Intel's security patch, the performance is more in line with the 520.
Fri 22:15:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Microsoft has clarified in its terms that Copilot is intended “for entertainment purposes only,” warning users not to rely on it for important or real-world advice.
Fri 22:15:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Microsoft made this clarification in its official Copilot terms, stating: “Copilot is for entertainment purposes only. It can make mistakes, and it may not work as intended. Don’t rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk.” The company emphasized that users should treat the tool as experimental and avoid depending on it for critical decisions."
Fri 22:16:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3]: ^
Fri 22:22:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i wonder how many businesses pay a recurring fee so that their workers have continued access to copilot "for entertainment purposes only"
Fri 22:22:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and how many of them force their workers to use it regularly
Fri 22:36:45 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Yesterday I asked my friend...
Fri 22:37:34 │ 〖TMF〗 │ "Do you know the difference between Citric Acid and Sulfuric Acid"
Fri 22:37:41 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Then he said "No"
Fri 22:37:52 │ 〖TMF〗 │ I asked him again...
Fri 22:38:10 │ 〖TMF〗 │ "Which one would you consume, Sulfuric Acid or Citric Acid?"
Fri 22:38:44 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Then he thought for a few minutes and told me he'd chose Citric acid, since Citric would just mean It's sour
Fri 22:39:29 │ 〖TMF〗 │ This made me laugh like a schoolgirl, but also a little bit scared for him
Fri 22:40:11 │ 〖TMF〗 │ What do you guys remember in science class? Apparently, you're not allowed to experiment with chemicals
Fri 22:40:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i'd rather not consume either pure
Fri 22:41:21 │ 〖TMF〗 │ I'd rather consume pizza
Fri 22:41:25 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Mmm... pizza
Fri 22:41:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Fri 23:07:14 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Is it weird that shows like House and Happy Tree Friends make me want to study human biology
Fri 23:07:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Fri 23:09:25 │ 〖TMF〗 │ There's this episode I remember seeing on TV...
Fri 23:09:44 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Where the doctor tries to get out of the hospital as soon as possible, but the nurse irritates him
Fri 23:09:58 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Is eye transplant a surgery really a thing?
Fri 23:10:28 │ 〖TMF〗 │ Sounds weird, wouldn't your brain reject the new eye or something?
Fri 23:11:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe it will need to re-learn vision

Fri 23:35:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3]: Officially, Kubuntu 26.04 LTS does not support Xorg sessions.
Fri 23:35:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Unofficially, you can install the package and use X11 just fine.
Fri 23:36:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But Ubuntu (with GNOME) can no longer run on an Xorg session because GNOME no longer supports that upstream.
Fri 23:36:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ This might be the last LTS where any of the other editions can use an Xorg session.
Fri 23:36:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ officially, you can just stop using shit like *ubuntu

Sat 00:25:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't think that Canonical will do anything to stop you..
Sat 00:26:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe they'll think of something
Sat 00:26:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe Linux will trigger a kernel panic in 30m from boot if systemd isn't running, and won't let you run X
Sat 00:27:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ or maybe it will do that 30m thing if the dbugs API of systemd-ageattestationd is not reachable

Sun 03:35:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: The COMPLY OR DIE people from the state can't afford a new fleet of cars.
Sun 03:36:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "The Illinois Department of Central Management Services recommends that vehicles in the ISP fleet be replaced every eight years or 150,000 miles, but it's taking much longer, ISP Director Brenden Kelly told a Senate appropriations committee last month.
Sun 03:36:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "At this rate with this funding mechanism we have, it will take about 18 years to replace our fleet," Kelly said. "So while we're not expecting a miracle in terms of some legislation to solve that for us permanently, we recognize that we're going to have to continue to, piecemeal, find those sources of funding where they can be found.""

Sun 03:37:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Why was I thinking Ed?

Sun 03:37:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Oh yeah
Sun 03:38:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The malfunctioning tank thing.
Sun 03:38:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the real RoboCop
Sun 03:38:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The guy did put down the gun and it shot him anyway, about 600 times I think.
Sun 03:38:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Which was a little much.
Sun 03:38:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah
Sun 03:38:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ even the killswitch didn't work
Sun 03:39:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "The rising cost of vehicles is the most obvious problem, but it's not the only one. Kelly says the main problem is that State Police Vehicle Fund has not been funded enough to keep up with rising costs. While lawmakers have appropriated $30 million to the fund each year since 2024, the actual amount available has been a fraction of this amount. That comes from a $1 fee on all license plates, plus the sale of retired police cars. This
Sun 03:39:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ income typically hovers around $11 and $12 million, but sank to just $7 million last year. It may sound like a lot of money, but when a fully outfitted police car costs $120,000, that $7 million will only buy 58 cruisers of the 1,067 currently overdue for replacement. That also doesn't take into account replacing perfectly good cars that are destroyed in the line of duty."
Sun 03:39:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ ---
Sun 03:39:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: I think 58 cars a year is fine.
Sun 03:40:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They need to maintain what they have better.
Sun 03:40:09 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ especially if they're cruisers!
Sun 03:40:19 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe they could buy a few aircraft carriers too.
Sun 03:40:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: They should do better fleet upkeep and replace the 58 worst every year.
Sun 03:41:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It sounds like the government needs to just do more with less.
Sun 03:41:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like it forces us to do every year.
Sun 03:41:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Thanks to their shitty tax and spend policies.
Sun 03:42:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And the policies that ensure there are not enough jobs.
Sun 03:43:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: So if I'm reading that right, they could add $1 to the vehicle plate renewal every year and they could afford 116 new cop cars, right?
Sun 03:43:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That certainly wouldn't be the worst tax increase this state has ever imposed.
Sun 03:43:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There was that one about 8 years ago where they raised the state income tax from 3.5% to 4.95%.
Sun 03:43:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Ouch.
Sun 03:44:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or the ones where your property tax might go up 27% in a single year if you live in Cook County.
Sun 03:44:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It seems weird that they'd be bashful about one dollar on a license plate.
Sun 03:45:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They've never had a problem with stealing so much more from us every year like the band of pirates that they are.
Sun 03:46:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 03:46:25 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's more robbing than stealing
Sun 03:46:38 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they use weapons and the threat of violence to get money from the people
Sun 03:47:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yep.
Sun 03:47:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: Nobody in this state seems to care how high the taxes go.
Sun 03:47:25 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i guess they're rich
Sun 03:47:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Democrats only have to point at the other party and say "They
Sun 03:47:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "They're insane!"
Sun 03:47:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ or maybe they're stupid, like most hungarians
Sun 03:47:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they're right.
Sun 03:47:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And so I even vote for the Democrats.
Sun 03:47:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Knowing that it will be harder to afford to live every year.
Sun 03:47:59 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but yeah, that's one of the problems with the two-party system
Sun 03:48:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: They have to put some of the tax increases on the ballot.
Sun 03:48:19 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ especially one in which one party has already turned into an authoritarian monster party
Sun 03:48:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like the Forest Preserve one.
Sun 03:48:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I voted NO on raising property tax bills to give the Forest Preserves $3.6 million more each year.
Sun 03:48:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They said "But it's only like $3-4 per property!"
Sun 03:49:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ACTION puts some forest preserve on bread and eats it
Sun 03:49:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And I said, "That's the problem. All this.... 'It's only...' adds up!"
Sun 03:49:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You do that a few hundred times and suddenly it's not chump change anymore.
Sun 03:50:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then people can't pay their property tax bills, and lose their house, or the landlord says fuck it, maybe I raise the rent twice as much this year.
Sun 03:51:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: They have High Mileage everything now.
Sun 03:51:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ 25 years ago it was high mileage oil.
Sun 03:51:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now I see High Mileage ATF and High Mileage coolants.
Sun 03:51:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't really know what those are for.
Sun 03:51:47 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ fucking up a car?
Sun 03:52:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, I use High Mileage oil because I know what that does.
Sun 03:52:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It has extra detergents and it's usually a bit more resistant to burn off and it has extra seal conditioners to slow down oil leaks.
Sun 03:52:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's just a bit more forgiving of an old engine that's not in perfect condition.
Sun 03:53:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Older engines tend to leak, develop oil consumption, and run dirtier.
Sun 03:53:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So the benefits are easy to explain.
Sun 03:53:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ High Mileage oil won't stop a major oil leak.
Sun 03:53:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But they can slow down the occasional drip or seepage.
Sun 03:54:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They can help delay, perhaps indefinitely, a costly repair.
Sun 03:54:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: I took a chance on an oil flush about a year ago, and it did cost me some of my gaskets eventually.
Sun 03:54:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It did not destroy the engine, but some seals that were not leaking before started to.
Sun 03:55:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I paid to have the seals replaced.
Sun 03:56:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I know someone that paid Jiffy Lube $100 to put in a can of oil flush in his 479,000 mile Dodge Grand Caravan.
Sun 03:56:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It went from leaking no oil at all to him having to put in a quart every week.
Sun 03:56:36 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ACTION Dodges an entire Grand Caravan
Sun 03:56:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The thing is most engines are a bit dirty inside after that many miles.
Sun 03:57:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And some of the sludge gets into a seal that's not good, but hardens and that's now part of the seal.
Sun 03:57:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you flush it all out, that goes too, not just the stuff on the metal parts of the engine.
Sun 03:57:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's a cute idea, if they could make something that got the sludge off metal parts but not the seals it would be great.
Sun 03:57:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But it removes the sludge everywhere it goes.
Sun 03:59:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: The article says that Kansas replaces their state police vehicles at 50,000 miles. Gives them to the local police.

Sun 04:37:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] I like how "IBM sellers" with 0-6 months experience take selfies of themselves looking into their phones and post on LinkedIn:
Sun 04:37:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] Women post pictures looking at their phone (often mirror selfies) for a mix of vanity, validation, and curation. These photos are typically used to highlight an outfit, hairstyle, or makeup (showcasing appearance) while appearing casual, "candid," or mysterious. This trend also stems from a desire for social validation ("likes") or to show a curated, aesthetic lifestyle.
Sun 04:37:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] I also like when they post about "an event" they are running at a local bar and grill or golf place in Atlanta or San Fran and they randomly tell 2B LinkedIn users about it and say feel free to drop by. WTF?!?!?! Invite random strangers to an IBM event costing $10,000? WTF!?!?!?!

Sun 04:39:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] I can only speak from my own situation (IBM Global Services, GTS, Division 07, 1993-2010). I'd say that it started in 2005, if you want a timestamp. In all divisions, anything that might cost money is approved or disapproved by one or more financial analysts in addition to division management. Anything that might affect a schedule is approved or disapproved by one or more project managers plus one or more department managers. The

You'd get a bunch of band 8s, band 9s and maybe even some band 10s. There was a lot of talk, and a LOT of kissing "a" if you know what I mean. Lots of egos, lots of feelings to be massaged, etc. I hated these sorts of meetings, and was grateful that I didn't have to attend many of them. For some people, atten
