[00:05] MinceR "HELLO. THIS IS MARY. I AM A HUMAN WITH SOFT SKIN." [00:09] MinceR there's a site that accuses me of being a robot almost every time i go from the first page of the search results to the second page [00:09] MinceR i usually mock it by saying "i am a robot." [00:09] MinceR obviously, humans aren't interested in the results beyond the first page.

[00:26] IsambardPrince Amazon Employee shows up for work & ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE! [00:26] IsambardPrince LOL [00:26] IsambardPrince She gets arrested for not leaving work on her day off? [00:54] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], The real reason they want DVD to stop is because it's so damned cheap to press DVDs now. [00:55] IsambardPrince No patents. The standard documents are in the public domain. [00:55] *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) [00:55] IsambardPrince If there are any bugs in open source players they can just get the standard documents for free now and read them. [00:55] *includeals (~includeal@bl18-27-126.dsl.telepac.pt) has joined #techrights [00:56] IsambardPrince Blu Ray Discs require more to author. [00:56] IsambardPrince The patents on the codecs still have some years left, although many have expired. [00:56] IsambardPrince The players have to have Java or the menus don't work. [00:57] IsambardPrince Humorously, you can play them with a Blu Ray drive without Java installed. You'll just have to go chapter to chapter manually until you get where you want to go on the disc. [00:57] IsambardPrince It's not ideal but at least it'll work. [00:57] IsambardPrince I suppose that OpenJDK might be usable here? [00:57] IsambardPrince So that part isn't a problem. [00:58] IsambardPrince AACS/BD+ are the main problem. [00:59] IsambardPrince DVD wasn't meant to be an "open format". It just happened because a few years went by and everything they "protected" the disc with was so wimpy it was only good enough to last a few years before it was broken. ● May 08 [01:00] IsambardPrince Presumably at some point, some sort of "libdvdcss" for Blu Ray could happen. [01:01] IsambardPrince The format demands 128-bit AES and that won't change so eventually a reasonably priced computer will be able to brute force it I guess. BD rips aren't so much cracked as they take advantage of a licensed player to unlock the discs. [01:02] IsambardPrince They didn't want the same thing happening to UHD Blu Ray so they required Intel's SGX, which they removed from their CPUs after a couple years, so you can't play those on a new PC anymore. So as soon as the ones who can play it break down, anything that's not ripped won't be ripped. [01:02] IsambardPrince Intel removed SGX because it turned out that their chips were too buggy to enforce it. [01:02] IsambardPrince So people were ripping the discs anyway. [01:03] MinceR what a surprise that must have been to intHell [01:03] MinceR they and their comrades religiously believe in DRM yet it just keeps getting cracked [01:05] IsambardPrince Well, the UHD Blu Ray rips are going to bittorrent websites as fast as the discs are coming out. [01:05] IsambardPrince So there's that. [01:06] IsambardPrince MinceR, So much for "secure enclave" and all the other shit. [01:06] IsambardPrince They hire people who are too incompetent to actually back that up. [01:07] MinceR the whole idea as it applies to video and audio is pretty sketchy to begin with [01:07] MinceR "you see, we want to deliver a movie to the customer such that the customer can see the video but the customer can't see the video!" [01:08] MinceR the customer should have the key to decrypt the "content" with, but the customer shouldn't have the key to decrypt the "content" with [01:09] MinceR and then they have the people who can't even manage to get an alleged mail client to reliably list new mail in the inbox try to implement it. brilliant! [01:12] IsambardPrince MinceR, Microsoft? Well, to be fair Outlook Express only malfunctioned and deleted the entire inbox file when it grew too big, got internally fragmented from deleting too many emails, or you compacted it and that was the time it didn't compact right and truncated the file's index. [01:12] MinceR yeah [01:12] IsambardPrince But they came out with a utility that sometimes fixed it. [01:12] IsambardPrince :) [01:13] MinceR the corporation whose copyright notices were all over the UEFI clusterfuck that we were supposed to believe was all intHell's doing [01:13] IsambardPrince By deleted the file, I mean it was still there but the entire inbox appeared to have vanished and left a question mark. [01:13] IsambardPrince It's a good thing that there wasn't an entire operating system full of stuff like this happening. [01:13] IsambardPrince Oh wait. [01:14] MinceR :> [01:15] MinceR good thing these people haven't "designed" an entire backdoor processor as a "security feature" in AMD and some ARM SoC-s. oh wait. [01:15] IsambardPrince When Microsoft starts a sentence with "We built an index that..." [01:15] IsambardPrince And you immediately cringe. [01:15] MinceR i cringe when i find out that i have to use something from these retards [01:15] IsambardPrince And a file system is an index. [01:15] IsambardPrince And the registry is an index. [01:15] IsambardPrince And a mailbox is an index. [01:15] MinceR that inbox bug has existed in outhouse for at least a decade now [01:16] MinceR but hey, at least they come up with an entirely "new" outhouse every year [01:16] IsambardPrince Their webmail platform is rotting pretty badly. [01:16] MinceR their webmail had the same fucking bug [01:16] MinceR only there it was enough to refresh the page instead of having to restart the alleged mail client [01:16] IsambardPrince Internally it's spaghetti code that does a lot of sniffing and if it doesn't like exactly what it sees between three different domains, it sends you to something that looks like Hotmail in 1998. [01:16] *lxo has quit (connection closed) [01:17] IsambardPrince And then there's all the time Azure collapses and you can't access it at all for 3-5 hours.

[01:19] IsambardPrince (Heavy Metal) [01:19] MinceR :) [01:27] IsambardPrince My mom does Boomer stuff. I can't get it through to her that modern laundry detergent is like 3 times thicker than it used to be so you don't have to pour like the entire cap in a normal size washer. [01:27] IsambardPrince She kept blowing through those portable washers at her last apartment and she was using a ton of detergent then I asked her "Well when's the last time you cleaned the lint trap?" [01:28] IsambardPrince She goes, "Lint trap?" [01:28] IsambardPrince Back in the 90s we used to have these gigantic hernia-inducing jugs of Liquid Tide. [01:29] IsambardPrince It was pretty unregulated back then, so they put in cleaning solvents that are not even legal now. [01:29] IsambardPrince That's why people wonder why Tide doesn't get out things like blood and motor oil and grass stains as well as it used to. [01:30] IsambardPrince But they also took most of the water out, so if you use 8 ounces of detergent now you could oversuds the washer and have it come out the lid, or at the very least, remove dirt from your clothes and just redeposit it somewhere else instead of flushing it with the wastewater.

[06:55] IsambardPrince And you have to renew those fraud alerts every year, or every 7 if it's an extended alert because you can show you're at high risk. [06:56] IsambardPrince Doing both makes it really hard to get false credit in someone's name. [06:57] IsambardPrince Because even if they manage to phone in and get the freeze lifted on all three bureaus, the fraud alert isn't going anywhere unless they can send in a copy of your driver's license and a second form of ID from the list that has your address on it. [06:57] IsambardPrince Now they just tell everyone, largely thanks to Microsoft Azure breaches... [06:58] IsambardPrince Assume you've been the victim of a breach and just put fraud alerts on the reports and freeze them just in case. [06:58] IsambardPrince The fraud alerts should be enough to stop credit approvals, but not hard pulls, which damage your credit. [06:59] IsambardPrince So if you don't freeze and someone tries to do hard pulls, then you have to write to the bureaus and say this wasn't me.

A Beginners Guide for iOS, Android, and Windows Users [07:58] IsambardPrince The German sovereign fund should be funding KDE, not GNOME. [07:58] IsambardPrince The software in GNOME is very bad. [07:59] IsambardPrince If you use GNOME you won't end up using much more than very basic software that's part of GNOME because it's very underdeveloped outside of the Shell (buggy, full of memory leaks) and a couple other things. [07:59] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [07:59] IsambardPrince It was completely inappropriate for filing all those forms with USCIS because at the time, GNOME's own PDF software could look at PDFs but could not fill out the forms. ● May 08 [08:00] IsambardPrince And I wasn't about to do that all by hand. There were like 20 pages. [08:00] IsambardPrince And God help you if they can't read something. [08:00] IsambardPrince They use OCR and it's not always correct and it can really fuck things up if you don't fill it out and then print it. [08:01] IsambardPrince So I ended up using Okular and then saying "Fuck, why am I even using GNOME? I hate the Shell, GNOME software is very rudimentary. I'm pulling in parts of KDE to deal with what GNOME can't do." [08:03] IsambardPrince It's been over 25 years now and in many ways GNOME just does negative work. [08:03] IsambardPrince Burn it all down, start again. On things the last version did much better. [08:03] IsambardPrince And that prevents you from making any real progress because it takes another 10 years before these new frameworks even work. [08:04] IsambardPrince It's all new code, and new code doesn't mean better it just means you have all the problems you spent ten years fixing already. Maybe different problems, but like, all new ones. [08:05] IsambardPrince They should have just kept incrementally improving GNOME 2. [08:05] IsambardPrince I don't think that any actual usability studies were done on GNOME Shell. [08:05] IsambardPrince The two panels worked, and then they had this Windows 8 shit going on with the Shell. [08:06] IsambardPrince You know, and it is a lot like Microsoft "Oh, you want your panels back? Okay, here's Classic Mode. You can have your fucking panels, but they'll be ugly as shit with no customization! Enjoy!" [08:06] IsambardPrince That's what Microsoft did with the Start Menu in Windows 8.1. [08:06] IsambardPrince People were mad that the button was gone, so the button was back, and when you clicked it, instead of the Start Menu, you were back at the Metro Desktop you were trying to get away from. [08:07] IsambardPrince And then so many people stayed on Windows 7 or gave the Metro desktop the finger with the Start8 program, that the Start Menu came back in Windows 10. [08:07] IsambardPrince But it still doesn't work as well as it did in Windows 7. [08:08] IsambardPrince Then Windows 11 comes out, and they move the fucking button to the middle of the screen instead of to the far left where it's always been. [08:08] IsambardPrince They move shit around, and you know, that's not progress. [08:08] IsambardPrince It's just messing with people sadistically. [08:08] IsambardPrince People should not have to relearn the computer every time it updates itself. [08:08] IsambardPrince This is nuts. [08:09] IsambardPrince I like things that work the way they always did, because it made sense, so why touch it. [08:09] IsambardPrince They have like a million bajillion of these "digital" ports now. [08:10] IsambardPrince And none of them are as good as the analog ports for audio and video that they replaced. [08:10] IsambardPrince I get that with a digital display you want a digital video cord, but you already had those. DVI-D [08:11] IsambardPrince It's just stupid. It's not progress. [08:11] IsambardPrince When I have to go buy new cords my life doesn't get better or easier. [08:11] IsambardPrince And re-learning the GUI is like that too.

[22:47] MinceR :) [22:56] IsambardPrince "As bishop of Chiclayo, Prevost opposed the inclusion of curriculum regarding "teachings on gender in schools" in Peru, stating that the "promotion of gender ideology is confusing, because it seeks to create genders that don't exist"." [22:58] MinceR so much for being a "centrist", then [22:58] IsambardPrince Yes, he also criticizes the "homosexual lifestyle". [22:58] IsambardPrince It says he's voted in Illinois as a Republican. [22:58] MinceR when? [22:58] IsambardPrince 2016. [22:59] MinceR sounds like my prediction that they were going to elect another nazi pope was correct after all [22:59] IsambardPrince He voted in Illinois in 2008, 2012, and 2016, and requested a Republican primary ballot in 2016. [22:59] IsambardPrince Yeah, this one doesn't even rhyme like Ratzi the Nazi did. ● May 08 [23:00] IsambardPrince Pope Leo XIV voted in 4 general elections and 3 Republican primaries, voting records show [23:00] IsambardPrince From CNN's Casey Tolan [23:00] IsambardPrince llinois voting records show that Pope Leo XIV is registered to vote in the Chicago suburb of New Lenox, and has regularly cast ballots there. [23:00] IsambardPrince He voted in the general election in 2024, 2018, 2014 and 2012, according to records provided to CNN by the Will County Clerks Office. Illinois voters do not have to register to vote as a member of a political party, but can choose which partys ballot to vote on during primary elections. [23:00] IsambardPrince Prevost voted in the Republican primary in 2016, 2014 and 2012, the records show. [23:00] IsambardPrince New Lenox is a pretty wealthy suburb. [23:00] IsambardPrince Almost all white people. [23:01] IsambardPrince MinceR, "Illinois Nazis..... I hate Illinois Nazis." [23:02] IsambardPrince "Gruppenfhrer, gruppenfhrer, get that car's license plate number. We're gonna kill those sons of bitches!" -Nazi Leader (The Blues Brothers) [23:06] IsambardPrince MinceR, I posted, [23:06] IsambardPrince "The new pope denounced gender and homosexual "propaganda". [23:06] IsambardPrince I wonder if we have another Nazi Pope like Ratzi. [23:06] IsambardPrince (Who was actually in the Hitler Youth and was so unconcerned about the appearance of the church that he was all about flaunting that it sits on hoarded diamonds and gold while people starve!) [23:06] IsambardPrince This one's from Illinois. I hate Illinois Nazis. [23:06] IsambardPrince Why does CNN post that he'll build on Francis's reforms? The guy voted for Republicans in Illinois at least 4 times according to public records." [23:09] IsambardPrince "The Catholic church is one of the most immoral entities on the planet, along with the diamonds and gold and stocks and bonds it holds a TON of real estate assets. [23:09] IsambardPrince It takes and it takes. You know, lying and stealing are actually covered by the Ten Commandments and they file bankruptcy against people's pensions and pay off sex abuse victims with it. [23:09] IsambardPrince Lying that there's pensions and filing bankruptcy to steal the pensions, and paying abused kids with the "savings". [23:09] IsambardPrince Very moral." [23:09] IsambardPrince MinceR, :) [23:09] MinceR also one of the most arrogant entities on the planet [23:10] MinceR and one of the most supportive of pedophilia [23:11] IsambardPrince "Who the Hell even cares what the Pope says about gay people? He's irrelevant. [23:11] IsambardPrince They have a Catholic propaganda station in Chicago and I tune in sometimes for amusement. They insist the church is growing while it's in full retreat, closing churches, closing schools, liquidating people's pensions. [23:11] IsambardPrince The church would be emptying out entirely without the immigrants from Mexico and South America it brought here, which is literally the only reason Catholic "Charities" CLINIC really exists." [23:13] IsambardPrince "The Catholics managed to infiltrate the US Supreme Court and redirect taxpayer money against the will and Constitutions of the States and against the First Amendment to Catholic schools and organizations. [23:13] IsambardPrince It's daylight theft from the public purse. [23:13] IsambardPrince So that also helps them not collapse just yet. [23:13] IsambardPrince They steal and they steal." [23:46] IsambardPrince Hmm, another 30 pounds of cat food. [23:46] IsambardPrince Amazon offered $30 gift card if you bought $100 worth of cat food. [23:47] IsambardPrince I think that brings me to about 150 pounds on hand. [23:47] IsambardPrince MinceR, Someone's smoke alarm is going off. [23:47] IsambardPrince BEEP BEEP BEEP N***** MAKING FOOD! BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP!!! [23:47] MinceR off to where? [23:49] IsambardPrince I wonder why they thought Blu Ray region coding would work. [23:49] MinceR because they always believe all DRM to work [23:50] IsambardPrince Certainly with the way things are connected today even if you can't get a region free player in the EU you could import a Region A from somewhere/. [23:50] MinceR they live in a make-believe world [23:50] IsambardPrince It creates a nuisance that makes you buy a special player for those discs, at worst. [23:50] IsambardPrince But the players are not that expensive now. [23:51] IsambardPrince Most titles that are any good have a Region A release so I haven't bothered doing a region free hack. [23:51] IsambardPrince Criterion usually does releases of foreign films that are notable. [23:55] IsambardPrince Shakou is opening for lunch. [23:55] IsambardPrince Me: "Oh, $100 for a rice ball and four ounces of steak... Wow." [23:56] IsambardPrince MinceR, Business Insider was talking about a $25 steak meal at three steak chains. [23:56] IsambardPrince I was like "No, no, no, there's some sort of mistake here." [23:56] MinceR lol [23:56] IsambardPrince "You brought me three bites of steak, a couple of dinner rolls, and some instant mashed." [23:57] IsambardPrince "And charged me so much I could have made a 16 ounce steak, dinner rolls, a salad and actual mashed potatoes myself at home, and it would have been good." [23:57] IsambardPrince These restaurants are fucking desperate man. [23:58] IsambardPrince I can toss steaks in the air fryer with the best of them. [23:58] IsambardPrince You really don't even have to flip them. [23:58] IsambardPrince They say you should but the difference is minimal. [23:58] IsambardPrince The key is to season or marinate it and then just toss that bad boy in there at 400 degrees for like 13-15 minutes and check it with a meat thermometer in the thickest part. [23:59] IsambardPrince And there is steak. [23:59] IsambardPrince Steak is not a difficult thing to do. [23:59] MinceR mi-steak [23:59] IsambardPrince It's gotten expensive, but it's not hard to make a good one for dinner.
