[00:03]	IsambardPrince	I've responded by only brewing it to about 3 cups in the morning and using the 1-4 switch on the machine then turning it right back off as soon as I pour it into a cup to prevent being gouged while a hot plate sits there idle for two hours. I laugh like a hysterical little girl when a package of coffee says use 2 Tbsp per cup. I then say "Yes, remove cash from wallet, set directly on fire."
[00:06]	MinceR	instructions unclear, set wallet on fire
[00:08]	IsambardPrince	BAD COMMAND OR FILE NAME!
[00:10]	IsambardPrince	People complained that DOS was too austere. They seem to have no problem with Windows 11 needing a $3,000 computer to run well, and 32 GB of RAM which is as rare as unicorn blood thanks to the AI shitheads.
[00:11]		*Goblin has quit (connection closed)
[00:21]	IsambardPrince	I gave up on Fedora a long time back because it was just getting too buggy even for me.
[00:21]	IsambardPrince	It seemed like in every release bugs come and go, and I usually had to implement some sort of a hack to deal with the nastier ones.
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	Then they'd fix it and the hack would cause problems, and I'd have to figure out what I did to put in the hack in the first place.
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	Kubuntu LTS doesn't move around that much.
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	I may have to do something about Kubuntu eventually. I don't know.
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	Those rust-coreutils were not ready for an LTS.
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	They still fail too many test cases.

[00:26]	IsambardPrince	It should have been held back until 27.10.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	They rushed something that was not ready.
[00:28]	MinceR	people should have counted their blessings
[00:28]	MinceR	the less DOS did, the less it could fuck up
[00:29]	MinceR	it was little more than a glorified filesystem and a glorified shell, and both were garbage
[00:29]	MinceR	at least the shell was relatively easy to replace

[06:34]	IsambardPrince	I ran into some issues where Intel claimed it didn't support Windows 98 on that chipset, but when you removed the check for Windows XP and just jammed the drivers in by hand, they turned out to function perfectly in Windows 98, because they were WDM, which Windows 98 supported.
[06:35]	IsambardPrince	I liked Windows 98 a lot better than XP because I could remove IE and all the crap, put in the Windows 95 B shell and patch it to say Windows 98, and then apply the handful of Windows updates that still mattered.

[06:36]	IsambardPrince	And you could uninstall them as well.

[16:39]	MinceR	i see what you did there
[16:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	don't get all reddit on me !!
[16:40]	MinceR	what's that like? changing my UI to become a lot less usable and require a lot more clicks and also demanding that you log in? :>
[16:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	i noticed the login
[16:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	it would  deny access sometimes
[16:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	unless you make an account
[16:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	this means they fail

[16:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	x.com did the same years ago
[16:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	MinceR: you can get around reddit
[16:42]	MinceR	that too
[16:43]	MinceR	also, as humanity goes to shit (even more), i find less motivation to go after what people write online
[16:43]	schestowitz[TR2]	there is a fallacy
[16:43]	schestowitz[TR2]	like, they say, use chatbots safely
[16:43]	schestowitz[TR2]	or make social control media safer
[16:43]	schestowitz[TR2]	how about
[16:43]	schestowitz[TR2]	NOT using it?

[19:39]	IsambardPrince	Contributing to delinquency is more narrow. You have to do something that causes them to be labeled a juvenile delinquent, like skipping school, or cigarettes, alcohol, stuff like that, which means more charges are coming.

[23:30]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Part of Ubuntu's rules has not been giving people advice that could fuck up their system, but that's the thing, unlocking a root account that you could log into in one terminal session is not "breaking the OS".
[23:30]	IsambardPrince	Graphical root logins are still not going to be allowed without further configuration.
[23:31]	IsambardPrince	And there are really cases where sudo doesn't work well.
[23:31]	MinceR	sounds like they're not allowed to recommend installing ubuntu, then
[23:32]	IsambardPrince	The only reason the Rust version of sudo is "better" than the other one is because the other one is an overengineered sprawling mess.
[23:32]	IsambardPrince	But I'm sure they'll try to reimplement everything it does in the Rust version.
