[00:00]	IsambardPrince	"Youre using 49% more electricity than your neighbors."
[00:00]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, let them sweat their asses off.
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	I'm using the "scourge" of personal air conditioning, as the French politicians who are sitting in a 50,000 square foot air-conditioned government palace put it.
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: ^
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	Discover It has 5% cash back in October, November, December on utilities.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	Nice of them to wait until the air conditioning season was over. Oh well, it beats a kick in the nuts I guess.
[00:05]	IsambardPrince	The funny thing is ComEd will allow you to overpay by up to $500. So right before December is over I'm going to prepay for $500 worth of electricity, and get another $25 out of Discover.

[19:28]	IsambardPrince	One reason I switched back to Kubuntu is they're disabling a really awful Intel GPU mitigation in their default kernel.
[19:28]	IsambardPrince	Fedora decided to leave it on.
[19:29]	IsambardPrince	I think most did. So there goes 17% of your graphics performance.
[19:29]	IsambardPrince	So if a game works acceptably well on my old Skylake system, then it will not work on many of those other distributions because there's a minimum acceptable steady framerate or else the game isn't playable.
[19:40]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: The patents on MPEG-4 ASP (divx/xvid) expired this year.
[19:41]	IsambardPrince	Microsoft's position on that was it was a terrible disappointment and "not much better than MPEG-2". They should know, they had a major hand in designing it.
[19:41]	IsambardPrince	Wikipedia said that one feature mandated by the standard doesn't even work, it just slows the encoder down.
[19:41]	IsambardPrince	I never saw that feature in xvid, maybe that's why.
[19:47]	IsambardPrince	Vivaldi Adblock is letting ads slip through sometimes so I ended up disabling it and installing uBo-Lite with the most aggressive settings for now.
[19:47]	IsambardPrince	Vivaldi Adblock also can't handle the increasing number of sites with Admiral.
[19:53]	IsambardPrince	h264 going public domain will be huge because it saw widespread use, efficiently handles HD, is implemented in all hardware in common use, and saw widespread adoption. I doubt pirates will ever stop using it.
[19:53]		*HexDroidUser has quit (Quit: An IRC client for Android - https://hexdroid.org)
[19:53]	IsambardPrince	What amazes me is there are still new MPEG-4 ASP/xvid releases.

[20:05]	IsambardPrince	You used to get 8 packets to a box now you get 6.

[20:48]	bms	Davi Ottenheimer is essentially advancing a position (from April) that the EFF are GAFAM stooges now
[20:48]	bms	that's... an interesting inversion of the received wisdom... but I can see evidence for his position.
[20:49]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I did a thing.
[20:50]	IsambardPrince	Social Security said that they're not going to give my Extra Help with Part D back soon. There's going to be at least another 6 month wait.
[20:50]	IsambardPrince	So I grabbed a bunch of out of pocket bills for my medication, and uploaded them to the SNAP (food stamp) portal, and triggered a standard medical deduction of $245.
[20:51]	IsambardPrince	And they had to increase my food stamps, which the federal government pays for.
[20:51]	MinceR	ok
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: The funny thing is that the Extra Help that they're dragging their feet on because they don't want to spend money on my medicine is what's letting me upload the receipts, that are causing them to spend more on my food.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	If they approved me for Extra Help, those receipts wouldn't exist.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	They'd all go down from $30 here and $70 there to like $5 each.
[20:54]	MinceR	ic
[20:54]	IsambardPrince	They're literally paying more in extra food stamps than they would to just give me cheap medicine.
[20:54]	IsambardPrince	Before DOGE they would have decided a case like this in weeks.
[20:55]	IsambardPrince	This has been going on for three months now.

[21:47]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: My partner laughed when I said I saw a Wasian in Target. And he asked "Wasian?" And I said, "Yeah his mom was Asian, his dad was White. You know, all of our strengths none of our weaknesses! More physically imposing and can handle traffic, but also really good at math I think."
[21:47]	MinceR	lol
[21:47]	MinceR	i would like devil apes to start showing some strengths
[21:48]	MinceR	time is running out for us
[21:51]	IsambardPrince	Yeah. The United Nations voted on an equal representation map of the world yesterday.
[21:51]	IsambardPrince	Apparently it's supposed to show how enormous Africa is.
[21:51]	IsambardPrince	But you put all those countries together and it's still a wreck that's collectively worse than Russia.
[21:51]	IsambardPrince	So I wonder what their point is.
[21:51]	IsambardPrince	Just a dig at the US and Europe?
[21:52]	MinceR	if it is, it's a really pathetic cope
[21:52]	IsambardPrince	All the blacks have to swing their massive.....continent around or something? IDK
[21:52]	MinceR	but one that the orcs are living in
[21:52]	MinceR	"just look at what a large area we use to be complete, total failures"
[21:53]	MinceR	also, people have been obsessing over how accurately map projections represent area, you'd think they don't represent anything else
[21:53]	MinceR	apparently distorting shapes is a-ok
