[00:30]	Isambard_Prince	Nvidia can do pretty much whatever they want to you if you depend on them for a driver that actually makes the card function like it's supposed to.
[00:31]	Isambard_Prince	This is much like any proprietary software, but the cost of a GPU is substantial and Nvidia can essentially make them worthless in the resale market by ceasing driver support. They can stop supporting Linux if they want to and you won't even have code someone already wrote.
[00:36]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, My dad was supposed to get blood pressure medicine from a mail order pharmacy once and they sent him a blood thinner.
[00:36]	Isambard_Prince	Ever since my mother told me that I check the pill imprints against the label and then I type it into Google to see what comes up on drugs.com

[00:51]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Timely.
[00:51]	Isambard_Prince	There's good reason to check the imprint on Viagra and Cialis.
[00:51]	MinceR	:>
[00:51]	Isambard_Prince	There's going to be a big difference between what a 2.5 mg Daily Cialis does to you and a 20 mg on demand one if they send you those by mistake.
[00:52]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I could see the pharmacy screwing that up. Sending you home with a bottle of 20 mg pills.

[17:39]	Isambard_Prince	It would be nice if KDE could find a donation platform to recommend that wasn't PayPal.
[17:40]	Isambard_Prince	Sending checks in the mail is dangerous with all these check washing scams going on now. The safest way to send them is going inside the post office, don't use a blue box.
[17:41]	Isambard_Prince	<Sompi_> Despite the EU mandating them to give free updates to home users
[17:41]	Isambard_Prince	There was some setting you could tweak that gives additional security updates for a year, even in the US.
[17:42]	Isambard_Prince	That _should_ make the popup go away if you're getting security updates for another year.
[17:42]	Isambard_Prince	But it's like a snooze button. It'll just be back in a year. So you need to plan to migrate to a different OS. Not just stop the messages for now.
[17:43]	Isambard_Prince	Some people like to use their computer for more than a couple of years. Microsoft is only doing this message to help their hardware vendors sell new computers. There are not any technical reasons why most computers that had Windows 10 on them can't run 11. It's the same OS with some pointless differences.
[17:43]	Isambard_Prince	Even my 2016 Lenovo can run Windows 11 if you disable the TPM 2.0 thing with a registry bit and skip the CPU check.
[17:44]	Isambard_Prince	And it would be good enough to use I suppose, at least as much as Windows ever is.
[17:44]	Isambard_Prince	You pay for all these computers and the only people who ever win are the people selling them to you.
[17:45]	Isambard_Prince	Jamie Zawinski is still using Pi 2s for actual stuff. He says the Pi hardware is cheap and nearly indestructable.
[17:45]	Isambard_Prince	Windows is telling you to throw out a $1,000 laptop you bought a few years ago.
[17:46]	Isambard_Prince	Thee Pi 5 can run a normal-enough OS that for most people they'd never care. It runs Debian, you can use anything except Windows programs fast enough that it doesn't matter anymore for most people.

[17:46]	Isambard_Prince	There's not too many "killer apps" for Windows anymore. If there are, it's usually a corner case.
[17:47]	Isambard_Prince	The Windows API used to be what they used to force you to use the OS but now almost everything is browser based. It's on a website.
[17:47]	Isambard_Prince	You used to get to the end of the year and go well I can't even file my income taxes without some Windows software on a disc.
[17:48]	Isambard_Prince	Back then I just did it by grabbing paper forms at the library and following worksheets because I didn't want to reboot into Windows just to file income taxes, and buy boxed software that was only going to be used once becausee the tax code changes every year.
[17:49]	Isambard_Prince	Even if nothing changes in the tax code you have to have to brackets from the IRS every year because it adjusts those and the deductions for inflation.
[17:49]	Isambard_Prince	But what many people are getting to now, is they owe no taxes because inflation has outpaced their wages, but they're still worse off than they were 20 years ago when they paid a lot of taxes, because Trump and Biden have destroyed the money.
[17:50]	Sompi_	Microsoft is clearly abusing their market share to make sure that new computers do not run other operating systems properly
[17:50]	Isambard_Prince	It's a vicious cycle. People are too poor to tax, and they're broke as hell anyway, and then the government takes in less revenue, which means more inflation.

[21:10]	Isambard_Prince	"Sumit Sadana"
[21:10]	Isambard_Prince	Indians are pretty good at cutting corners in business.
[21:11]	Isambard_Prince	Like Piyush and Rahul.
[21:11]	Isambard_Prince	Piyush is going bankrupt and Rahul went to prison.
[21:11]	Isambard_Prince	These people also run major companies.
[21:11]	Isambard_Prince	They make you wonder when the last time the FDA inspectors went and dusted off their passport and inspected the manufacturing plants for blood pressure pills and erection tablets and thousands of other prescription drugs.
[21:12]	Isambard_Prince	It seems like every year we have blood pressure medicine getting recalled now.
[21:12]	Isambard_Prince	It was never like that until the manufacturing went to India.
[21:12]	Isambard_Prince	Their manufacturing process isn't great but it can spit out pills that are a fraction of one cent cheaper.
[21:13]	Isambard_Prince	You know, so they can take a bottle of pills that should be $10 retail, and try to get hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month out of them.
[21:13]	Isambard_Prince	When Cialis was new and patented, it was great stuff. Insurance didn't cover it and it was over $30 a pill.
[21:13]	Isambard_Prince	Only rich old men who had ED could afford to do anything about it.
[21:14]	Isambard_Prince	Everyone else just had their sex lives ruined by it.
[21:14]	Isambard_Prince	Roy jokes "Viagra Company" for Pfizer.
[21:14]	Isambard_Prince	Viagra and Cialis got a reputation for "rich old white guy" boner pills.
[21:14]	Isambard_Prince	But now you can buy 90 of them and it shouldn't run you more than about $12.
[21:15]	Isambard_Prince	Because it's generic, and they sell for the cost of making them plus a little markup, just a few dollars a bottle.
[21:15]	Isambard_Prince	The supermarket model is to get you in there for the generic Cialis so you'll buy your groceries there too.
[21:16]	Isambard_Prince	So conditions that used to cost thousands to treat now cost $10-20.
[21:16]	Isambard_Prince	And so people have better healthcare than ever because most people in America couldn't afford most (good) medicines in America 20 years ago, but they can now.
[21:16]	Isambard_Prince	Even if they have to pay cash.
[21:17]	Isambard_Prince	Like I remember in the 90s when it seemed like blockbuster drugs were popping up everywhere. My dad was on a new blood pressure pill called Zestril (sp?).
[21:17]	Isambard_Prince	Now it's generic of course, but back then "rich old white guy pill"
[21:18]	Isambard_Prince	If you were black and suffering from bp issues, well, sucks to be you. Have fun dying at 50.
[21:18]	Isambard_Prince	I think my favorite theme of Escape From New York was how it perfectly captured, you know, it was a metaphor, for inner city rot and blight.
[21:19]	Isambard_Prince	Carpenter just took it to the extreme of "The federal government just utterly abandons New York and declares Manhattan to be an open air prison."
[21:19]	Isambard_Prince	Almost all of his movies in the 80s bashed Reaganism, it was very timely.
[21:20]	Isambard_Prince	He didn't do one touching on the AIDS crisis and I think that was probably the only theme he didn't do.
[21:20]	Isambard_Prince	He did rampant consumerism, out of control crime, corporate greed in general.
[21:20]	Isambard_Prince	But not the Republican Party's indifference to 1.8 million dead Americans.
[21:20]	MinceR	:>
[21:28]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I sent my dad the ytd price inflation on groceries.
[21:28]	Isambard_Prince	Told him Trump was having a sale on coffee and ground beef.
[21:28]	Isambard_Prince	Buy one, pay for three.
[21:39]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Brutal crackdowns and out of control hyperinflation seem to be "MAGA"
[21:39]	Isambard_Prince	I suppose.
[21:39]	MinceR	indeed
[21:44]	Isambard_Prince	 Trump promised he'd make our national debt cheaper with currency debasement, but even I did not expect he could deliver on that promise so rapidly.

[21:47]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, A can of Folgers went from $9.99 to $16.98 in the past 11 months.
[21:47]	Isambard_Prince	It also went down in size by 27%.
[21:47]	Isambard_Prince	Roy says there's stuff like this going on in the UK but I doubt it's this severe.
[21:48]	Isambard_Prince	They just have garden variety shitty politicians, not a goddamned lunatic that's putting a 50% tax on coffee for no reason.
[21:49]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, This administration is inept which is probably for the better.
[21:49]	MinceR	indeed
[21:49]	Isambard_Prince	They filed revenge charges against Letitia James (Attorney General of New York) and not only did the charges get thrown out by the judge, but so did Trump's prosecutor.
[21:50]	Isambard_Prince	The US Attorney for New York can't practice law in federal court in New York now.
[21:50]	Isambard_Prince	And she's going after another one.

[21:51]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Illinois also passed a law that creates the first ever state vaccine committee.
[21:51]	Isambard_Prince	They immediately recommended Hepatitis B vaccines for people of all ages and mandated insurance coverage.
[21:52]	Isambard_Prince	The guy who introduced that bill said we're not "Waiting around to see what RFK Jr.'s brain worms say about Hepatitis. Illinois believes in science."
[21:53]	Isambard_Prince	Hepatitis B vaccines are safe, well tolerated, and quite effective and pretty durable. It's rare, but the largest problem with the vaccine is potentially having to repeat the series if it doesn't take.
[21:53]	Isambard_Prince	But whatever it does is better than getting Hepatitis and falling over dead at 35 from Hepatitis.

[21:56]	Isambard_Prince	The US has done such a horrible job vaccinating people for it as children, that 3.5 million now live with chronic infections which, with universal vaccination, would only be tens of thousands maybe.
[21:57]	Isambard_Prince	The vaccine is the best answer for Hepatitis A and B. Preventing it is better than trying to treat it after it happens.
[21:57]	Isambard_Prince	There are treatments, but the only thing treatments for HepB do is make you live longer if you will never clear the disease.

● Dec 04
[22:03]	Isambard_Prince	They would.
[22:04]	Isambard_Prince	My mom said she liked Benjamin Franklin. I said, "Well, he was a very smart guy. He was a sound money economist, he provided accurate instructions for the time for a medication abortion, and he was basically the OG dirty old man. So yeah, I agree. He was awesome."
[22:04]	Isambard_Prince	So I was needling her that she actually didn't know anything about him.
[22:04]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[22:05]	Isambard_Prince	If there was Viagra or Cialis back then, Ben Franklin would have been pushing that stuff.
[22:05]	Isambard_Prince	:D
[22:07]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Franklin preferred conservative investment strategies for money. If he was alive today he'd be one of the harshest critics of cryptocurrrencies out there, and probably promoting growth stocks, bonds and gold.
[22:08]	MinceR	if he was alive today, i'd ask him how he managed to live for so long
[22:09]	Isambard_Prince	Well, when people say they don't understand cryptocurrency so they avoid it, that's actually them being smart. I mean, you don't understand it because it makes no logical sense and there's no way to explain it so it does make sense. People who say that you just bash it because you don't "get it" have an angle. They have an angle.
[22:10]	Isambard_Prince	The only profit from cryptocurrency is that for now there are people dumb enough to accept it has value, but it still fluctuates wildly, so it's not a reliable store of value.
[22:11]	Isambard_Prince	If people change their mind, it plummets and there's no deposit insurance to protect you. The government won't save you. There's not even a regulatory framework that prevents exchanges from actually.....not having any money.
[22:12]	Isambard_Prince	If you wanted to prop up crypto, you'd need to regulate the exchanges more like banks, where there'd be reserve requirements and deposit insurance.
[22:13]	Isambard_Prince	The government could agree to accept it as payment for taxes. Or tax it as income, not capital gains.
[22:14]	Isambard_Prince	The US government won't do things like this even under Trump.
[22:14]	Isambard_Prince	The US Dollar gives them huge control over people, Bitcoins do not.
[22:15]	Isambard_Prince	If there's anything that has bipartisan agreement, it's to use money to control people.
[22:18]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I think in an episode of SG-1, O'Neill teals Teal'c to "bend your cozars" when the Ancient database is unpacking in his brain and overwriting the speech center.
[22:18]	Isambard_Prince	Cozaar is the brand name for a blood pressure medicine.
[22:18]	Isambard_Prince	So it's actually (phonetically) a word.
[22:18]	MinceR	:)
[22:19]	Isambard_Prince	Angiotensin Receptor Blockers are probably the best blood pressure medicines.
[22:19]	Isambard_Prince	They're the least likely to cause ED and you don't have to avoid ED pills if they do somehow cause it (or you have it).
[22:20]	Isambard_Prince	They're also suitable for use in patients with kidney disease.
[22:23]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, For some reason, when my cat sees me pick up the cane I do my shoulder exercises with, she meows and then runs away.
[22:23]	Isambard_Prince	So I use that to get my seat on the couch back.
[22:23]	MinceR	:>
[22:24]	Isambard_Prince	I don't know why she's afraid of it. I love that cat.
[22:24]	MinceR	maybe someone else hurt her with a cane
[22:24]	Isambard_Prince	Hmm, I don't know. I got her when she was a kitten.
[22:25]	Isambard_Prince	But a woman took her and her sister back and told them she had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and couldn't care for them.
[22:44]	Isambard_Prince	Trump renamed the United States Institute of Peace the "Donald Trump Institute of Peace" as he continues parking nuclear powered aircraft carriers and their strike groups off of Latin America and threatening war with Venezuela and Colombia.
[22:44]	MinceR	lol
[22:45]	MinceR	he also had the US take putler's side in putler's genocide
[22:45]	MinceR	he only tried to hide this for a while in hopes of getting a nobel peace prize
[22:46]	Isambard_Prince	NPR said that Venezuela's regime is "Russian-backed". I said, "So is ours. So what's all the commotion about?"
