Wed 20:06:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Meanwhile AOSP is turning from "Open Source" to rare "code dumps", Android "apps" are just some little prisons controlled by GAFAM (anything else is doomed because it is deemed "sideloading"), and <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/news/Google-Chrome-Two-Week-Cycle">"Google Chrome Moving To A Two-Week Release Cycle"</a>, which means it's harder to catch up with Google if one relies on making "clones".

Wed 20:06:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] <sup>*</sup> As a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlH2yS5IKg0">comment put it</a> 14 minutes ago in IRC and in a GAFAM site:
Wed 20:06:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] <blockquote>
Wed 20:06:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "This New York law would "require all manufacturers of Internet-enabled devices, operating systems, or application stores to conduct commercially reason-able and technically feasible age assurance for users at the point of device activation."
Wed 20:06:37 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Wouldn't that effectively ban all computing devices that are sold without a factory-installed operating system, and also all user-installable operating systems because their installation process happens after the "device activation", whatever it means?
Wed 20:06:39 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ Techrights – Android is Proprietary 'Linux' and It Becomes More Malicious Over Time, Google Only Delayed What It Planned All Along ⇨ https://techrights.org/n/2026/03/04/Android_is_Proprietary_Linux_and_It_Becomes_More_Malicious_Over.shtml | ♾ Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/03/04/Android_is_Proprietary_Linux_and_It_Becomes_More_Malicious_Over.gmi ∎
Wed 20:06:41 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] So that law basically mandates all new computers to be boot locked to the factory-installed OS, or else the manufacturer will face a $10,000 fine for each sold unit.
Wed 20:06:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] And it would also make reinstalling an operating system a crime - or manufacturing a device where the operating system can be reinstalled - even if it is the same OS that was already there from the factory!
Wed 20:06:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] All new 64-bit x86 computers already have infrastructure required for enforcing this law on their ROM. It is known as UEFI Secure Boot. The manufacturers only need to push an automatic firmware update that makes it impossible to disable.
Wed 20:06:53 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Those laws in other states "only" make writing your own operating system a punishable crime that will most probably send the developer to a prison until the end of their life, because the fines are so astronomically high that no-one can ever pay them.
Wed 20:06:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] How is it possible that Pirate Parties or EFF do not have anything to say about this?
Wed 20:06:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] </blockquote>
Wed 20:07:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │]
Wed 20:07:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] oops

Wed 20:15:09 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "correct. Accenture laid off 20,000. IBM has been hacking away at Consulting for a few years and good LLMs will mow them down like a Toro mower. Gerstner shelled out $3,500,000,000 for PwC a long time ago which is 1 of many IBM over pays. IBM Consulting is VERY WEAK compared to other co'" https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kjvtpr5n

Thu 02:54:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "I broadly have three interests. Sex, weird operating systems, and anime."
Thu 02:54:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Interviewer: Get out.....now.
Thu 02:56:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That comes after they ask about family.
Thu 02:56:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Oh I try to avoid them. That's going well."
Thu 02:57:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Thu 02:58:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Mom told me she had a TIA yesterday while reading the bible and said she recognized that the words didn't make any sense. I said, wow, you came that close to an epiphany and thought it was a ministroke."
Thu 02:58:41 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Thu 02:59:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The bible is a weird thing to read. I mean technically they're words that make sentences. But then the sentences make no sense and some people insist they make perfect sense.
Thu 02:59:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I gave up after the 7 day creation myth.
Thu 03:00:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A page turner it was not.
Thu 03:00:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You know and then you skip some stuff and it's like 8 pages of someone's family tree or something.
Thu 03:00:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And for some reason this all needs to be in a religious text.
Thu 03:00:33 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ too bad, the first massive contradiction is where they retell the creation myth and it's a different one
Thu 03:00:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, it's about as exciting as a phone book
Thu 03:01:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and yet it's bandied around as some sort of massive literary achievement
Thu 03:01:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That part with the family tree was like reading the phone book.
Thu 03:01:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You notice how it's all the sacred word of God and yet no church anywhere turns to those pages and has a sermon about who begat who?
Thu 03:02:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I liked Lewis Black on the Old Testament "You Christians took OUR BOOK! Jews need to be told don't marry a goat. We're Jews! We don't know that!"
Thu 03:02:45 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Thu 03:03:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i haven't noticed that, i avoid sermons
Thu 03:03:59 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i've been to a mass or something once, and what i learned was that while the pedonazi party may be extremely arrogant, they still have much to learn from the catholics
Thu 03:15:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They're both pedophiles but they're in different cults.
Thu 03:15:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I guarantee you nobody on the Epstein list believes in God.
Thu 03:15:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That doesn't inherently make someone a good or bad person.
Thu 03:16:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But if they figured they'd be punished forever they probably wouldn't have done that.
Thu 03:16:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i can't tell who believes in YHWH, i'm not a psychic
Thu 03:16:47 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and it's clear that the bronze age savages had no clue about ethics or morality so i can't determine their religiosity based on their actions either
Thu 03:17:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ though i suspect that some of the pedonazis believe themselves or one of their bosses to be YHWH
Thu 03:17:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, These hotels use good body wash and shampoo. I put a bunch in an empty water bottle when I'm around.
Thu 03:18:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The hyperinflation has increased a bottle of Dove to over $13 after tax.
Thu 03:18:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Was less than $5 in 2020.
Thu 03:20:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Capital One Shopping offers huge rebates on hotels.
Thu 03:20:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's because post-rebate it's still more than booking on Priceline, assuming Capital One Shopping doesn't just glitch entirely and screw you and doesn't pay.
Thu 03:21:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I only took the chance a few times when the rebate was for Priceline anyway.
Thu 03:21:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, The person I am dating has never seen Alien or Aliens.
Thu 03:21:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I preferred Aliens better.
Thu 03:21:57 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ same
Thu 03:22:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ also Alien 4
Thu 03:22:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Less horror and suspense, faster paced.

Fri 21:19:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You take the carb off and spray it out if it gets dirty.

Fri 21:20:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ What did it cost to pull the carb and spray it out? A few pennies worth of cleaner?
Fri 21:21:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Most of those old cars used a ring-shaped air filter.
Fri 21:22:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You could just take the top off, pull the filter, put a new filter on, and screw the top of the housing back down.
Fri 21:22:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I usually replace my engine air filter about every year or two.
Fri 21:23:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's such a chore to get to it that if I take all that stuff apart it's getting a new filter even if the old one doesn't look very dirty yet.
Fri 21:24:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The owner's manual says these things last about 50,000 miles so you can just take all that apart and look at it every year.
Fri 21:24:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But the filters are only $5-6 each. So it makes no sense to pull the stuff apart to look at it and not change the filter.
Fri 21:27:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ “The position of the Spanish Government can be summed up in four words: no to war,” Sánchez said Wednesday, recalling the participation of Spanish soldiers in the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Sat 02:16:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I had a home health client that had walls of movies on VHS, even in 2007.
Sat 02:16:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It was getting hard to find a VCR (new anyway) by then and the last title or two probably came out around that time.
Sat 02:17:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But the format turned out to be more robust than what replaced it.
Sat 02:17:29 │ 〖darwin〗 │ i think a few companies still make various tape players; the bigger problem is getting tapes
Sat 02:17:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Analog formats are somewhat fault tolerant in that even if there is a glitch, it may not necessarily be one you can even perceive.
Sat 02:17:40 │ 〖darwin〗 │ same with records, CDs/DVDs/BDs, etc.

Sat 02:17:49 │ 〖darwin〗 │ yes
Sat 02:18:05 │ 〖darwin〗 │ and said to be 'warmer' sound though I don't know what this means
Sat 02:18:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, you could store digital video on HDDs or SSDs, or even streamer tape
Sat 02:18:22 │ 〖darwin〗 │ CD quality is about double vinyl quality so something to be said for CDs also
Sat 02:18:24 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 'warmer' is a particular kind of distortion, afaik
Sat 02:18:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I still listen to cassette tapes in the car sometimes.
Sat 02:18:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You can plug in the tape player and it will come through on the speakers. I mean, what else do you need really?
Sat 02:19:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's somewhat comical when the battery runs low and can't power the thing right and it just sort of grinds to a halt.
Sat 02:19:51 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i prefer to plug in the phone and listen to music or audio on demand via players that support android auto
Sat 02:19:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But that's what rechargeable AA batteries are for.
Sat 02:21:23 │ 〖darwin〗 │ we still have a car that can play tapes, and I like them, except that player melted part of one of our tapes!
Sat 02:21:35 │ 〖darwin〗 │ i played it several hours straight on a trip
Sat 02:22:01 │ 〖darwin〗 │ like half-hour sides at least thrice each, or hour sides one or two times each
Sat 02:23:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ my car doesn't have a tape player
Sat 02:24:40 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 'warmer' sound is caused by even-order harmonic distortion, i.e. adding 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc. harmonics of what is already there
Sat 02:33:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Perhaps that's pleasant by some people's standards.
Sat 02:33:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's no accounting for taste.
Sat 02:34:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Even with dietary habits, people have preferences that are bizarre to others.
