| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Charlie Kirk's widow went on Fox and shilled Charlie Kirk Hot Sauce. | Nov 09 00:23 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, My other neighbor has his stereo going. It's not ridiculous but he should be glad he doesn't have the neighbor behind my living room. | Nov 09 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | The guy is utterly insane and a control freak. If he hears a mouse fart he sends a complaint straight to the landlord through the resident portal. | Nov 09 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, So someone asked me why did I just keep downloading music and stuff all those years if the RIAA and MPAA were suing people. | Nov 09 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I said I made $9 an hour at Walmart, there was nothing to take if they got a million dollar judgment, so I didn't care if they did. | Nov 09 01:22 |
| MinceR | :> | Nov 09 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Same reason I didn't care about the unpaid hospital bills. | Nov 09 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I told the lady at the hospital "You'll just lose money if you file a lawsuit. I guarantee I will show up and cost you a lot of money and then not pay you." | Nov 09 01:23 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, George W. Bush made a speech once that still gets played on the radio in Chicago every day. Just one line though. | Nov 09 01:28 |
| IsambardPrince | His speech said "There's a whole generation out there that says if it feels good, do it." | Nov 09 01:28 |
| IsambardPrince | So they trimmed it to "If it feels good, do it!" | Nov 09 01:29 |
| MinceR | lol | Nov 09 01:29 |
| MinceR | there are so many better things to quote from dubya | Nov 09 01:29 |
| MinceR | "I think we agree, the past is over." | Nov 09 01:29 |
| MinceR | "They misunderestimated me." | Nov 09 01:29 |
| MinceR | "There's an old saying in Tennessee β I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee β that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you.' Fool me β you can't get fooled again." | Nov 09 01:30 |
| IsambardPrince | I believe that human beings and fish can coexist. | Nov 09 01:30 |
| MinceR | "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." | Nov 09 01:30 |
| MinceR | "Rarely is the question asked: is our children learning?" | Nov 09 01:31 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I just praise God every morning that he successfully de-escalated the conflict with the fish. There's no telling where that could have gone. | Nov 09 01:32 |
| MinceR | lol | Nov 09 01:32 |
| IsambardPrince | I washed all the blankets I throw on the furniture. I don't know how Febreeze is a thing. | Nov 09 01:46 |
| IsambardPrince | "How about instead of washing a blanket every few months you just bought a $12 bottle and sprayed even though that doesn't get the smell out?" | Nov 09 01:47 |
| MinceR | seems to help make the toilet stink less | Nov 09 01:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Mom gave me a free chair once. It was a nice chair, except that Dave hauled it out to the porch and sat in it and smoked. | Nov 09 01:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Instead of doing anything with it she just gave it to me. | Nov 09 01:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Spent over a thousand bucks on another chair. | Nov 09 01:48 |
| IsambardPrince | I had Stanley Steemer come out and work it over and they got almost all of the smell out for $75. | Nov 09 01:48 |
| MinceR | who's Stanley Steemer? | Nov 09 01:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh it's a company that comes out to clean carpets and furniture with a high pressure steam extractor. | Nov 09 01:51 |
| IsambardPrince | They run specials quite often figuring that once they have the truck out you don't just want them to stop at one room. | Nov 09 01:51 |
| IsambardPrince | They pay the people there minimum wage so there's a lot of employee turnover. | Nov 09 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | They'll hire almost anyone. | Nov 09 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I put roach bait stations in the hallway outside my apartment. The idea is kill the roaches out there and less become my problem. | Nov 09 01:53 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I have a joke for you. | Nov 09 01:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Why did Stephen Miller cross the road? | Nov 09 01:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Because his dick was stuck in the chicken. | Nov 09 01:55 |
| MinceR | lol | Nov 09 01:56 |
| MinceR | is Stanley Steemer related to Cleveland Steamer? | Nov 09 01:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't believe so. | Nov 09 01:56 |
| IsambardPrince | https://www.cnn.com/2026/11/08/politics/live-news/midterm-election-trump-congress | Nov 09 02:15 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- ( status 403 @ https://www.cnn.com/2026/11/08/politics/live-news/midterm-election-trump-congress ) | Nov 09 02:15 | |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Trump says deportation policy was "too tough" and "it hurt us in the election". | Nov 09 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | So why not promote "Stephen Goebbels"? | Nov 09 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | "Trump says he may not endorse a successor in 2028" | Nov 09 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | I kind of hope he does. | Nov 09 02:16 |
| MinceR | :> | Nov 09 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Illinois is pretty late in the primaries so if one Democrat is absolutely crushing it before they get to us, I might cross over and vote for JD Vance to be the Republican nominee. | Nov 09 02:17 |
| MinceR | does the pedophile king plan on dying in 2028? | Nov 09 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Vance is part of a very damaged administration. | Nov 09 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | He has no base. | Nov 09 02:17 |
| MinceR | does that matter in an autocracy, though? | Nov 09 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | And almost no VP ever wins office coming out of a successful administration, much less this one. | Nov 09 02:18 |
| IsambardPrince | I doubt JD Vance could win. | Nov 09 02:18 |
| IsambardPrince | There have been many VPs that became President later on their own right. 15 I think. But only 6 of them were elected. | Nov 09 02:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Nixon actually lost, then came back later and won. | Nov 09 02:19 |
| IsambardPrince | He completely botched his campaign against Kennedy. | Nov 09 02:20 |
| IsambardPrince | It was one of the first televised debates. He came onto the stage with a five o'clock shadow and bags under his eyes, and very low energy. | Nov 09 02:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Kennedy lapped him several times. | Nov 09 02:20 |
| IsambardPrince | The interesting thing is the people who heard it on the radio tended to think Nixon won the debate. | Nov 09 02:20 |
| IsambardPrince | But the people who saw it on TV thought it was Kennedy. | Nov 09 02:21 |
| MinceR | people are incredibly shallow | Nov 09 02:21 |
| IsambardPrince | "Nixon had been hospitalized for two weeks prior with a severe knee infection, leaving him underweight and exhausted. He refused TV makeup, opting instead for a lazy cosmetic product called "Lazy Shave" to cover his heavy beard stubble. Under the hot studio lights of WBBM-TV in Chicago, he sweat profusely, wore a grey suit that bled into the background of the black-and-white broadcast, and looked visibly ill." | Nov 09 02:21 |
| IsambardPrince | "JFK spent the weekend before the debate sunbathing on a roof in Florida, looking rested, tan, and sharp. He wore a dark suit that popped against the set, accepted professional television makeup, and spoke directly into the camera lensβaddressing the home audience rather than looking at Nixon or the panelists." | Nov 09 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I loved Robin Williams and his ad libbing the jokes in Good Morning Vietnam. He's told Nixon is coming and he said "Well the VP is a VIP so we'd better guard him closely or he could go MIA and then we'd all get KP." | Nov 09 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, Trump is an idiot, he really is. So was Bush but not this bad. | Nov 09 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | If the US came out of Vietnam and learned anything it's that nation building is expensive, costs a lot of lives, and rarely works. | Nov 09 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | When people are fighting for their country agaisnt foreign invaders they get pretty radical. | Nov 09 02:25 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | by which point, the 'mail' is no longer relevant or applicable | Nov 09 05:03 |

| IsambardPrince | No, to the DUN string. | Nov 09 05:05 |

| parsifal | The modern internet is not suited to such a usage model, whether you accept it or not is irrelevant, that's a fact. | Nov 09 06:41 |
| parsifal | The program I use daily, as well as a number of accompanying ones, are closed software, yes it is written for Linux, but it is closed proprietary software. Either I use it or I ask where the hungry shit. | Nov 09 06:41 |
| parsifal | This is just one part, the kernel is full of proprietary software, you either use it, or go and buy an abacus from the store, and throw the expensive machine and all the peripherals costing as much as the GDP of some banana republic out the window... | Nov 09 06:41 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | to me, bottom line is, | Nov 09 14:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ruust iss big | Nov 09 14:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | big is not better | Nov 09 14:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | rust is new | Nov 09 14:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and new is not always better | Nov 09 14:06 |
| Righty | My bottom line is that rust clearly contains multiple backdoors. | Nov 09 14:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | slop is "new" | Nov 09 14:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i didn't see slop programs being _better _ than what they imitate | Nov 09 14:06 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | they don't scale | Nov 09 14:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | a human needs to check the code | Nov 09 14:09 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | hard to see how making a limited portability second implementation would make tor safer | Nov 09 14:13 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | tor got a "Second wife" | Nov 09 14:13 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | there was another example i wanted to give but forgot mis-sentence | Nov 09 16:23 |

| parsifal | As for Pale Moon, I use it because of its advantages, and I fix the drawbacks myself -> without caring about the developer's opinion. If I can't smooth out the rough edges that are bothering me, I simply won't use that browser. | Nov 09 17:48 |
| parsifal | This applies to all browsers -> there are no perfect ones. As for the opinions of Mozilla or Moonchild on how I should use my browser -> they can keep them to themselves, I couldn't care less. | Nov 09 17:48 |
| parsifal | In the context of the ideal vs. non-ideal: Mozilla/Firefox removed the promise that they would not sell the telemetry they collect to third parties. So... everyone is a bad apple, to some extent. | Nov 09 17:49 |
| parsifal | As for the atmosphere and the people on their forum (Pale Moon), Iβm not really concerned about that -> I donβt post there. Iβm not going to go around trying to set people straight on their forum. | Nov 09 17:49 |

| nobody | hopefully i got a solution to cut short the bootloader compilation/deployment _without_ GNU toolchain | Nov 09 22:40 |
| nobody | it seems, grub-legacy does not depend on binutils-ld specific linker-scripts | Nov 09 22:40 |
| nobody | and all else could be handled just fine with i386-tcc/yasm | Nov 09 22:40 |
| nobody | this will drop 100million lines of code from the dependency graph to yield a fully bootstrapped *nix host with some C-compiler and a busybox | Nov 09 22:41 |
| nobody | compile-time i mean, when _everything_ is driven from source | Nov 09 22:42 |
| nobody | too grub-legacy does contain the needed bootcode pieces to support CD ISO boot | Nov 09 22:43 |
| nobody | not sure yet about grub2, but i don't need UEFI or fancy things like bootsplash | Nov 09 22:45 |
| nobody | hence if grub-legacy can be ported for/with tcc/yasm then this long-standing problem is solved :) | Nov 09 22:45 |
