| DaemonFC | I mean, there's a lot to say about living there. It's cheap to live there. It never gets truly nasty out. So no salt, so potholes and shit aren't everywhere and your car won't rust. | May 10 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | It seems Illinois is just content with taxing us more every year and telling us how much our roads are improving when there's more car-eating potholes than ever and everyone knows it. | May 10 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | They have to spend all of the transportation money ripping up the roads there's nothing wrong with and taking 14 years to replace the road. | May 10 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, ^ | May 10 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | Then after causing 14 years of bad traffic, they backslap each other because "it's for the environment". | May 10 00:14 |

| DaemonFC | Microsoft was really big on doing languages and compilers. It would have been nicer if any of it worked and stayed working. | May 10 00:33 |
| DaemonFC | Now they don't even have to fuck that up. They can just wait for others to do it for them and then buy the foundation behind those. | May 10 00:33 |
| MinceR | and then fuck them up | May 10 00:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | no other options, no choice | May 10 00:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | IE6 | May 10 00:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | IR6 monoculture was smashed by Firefox | May 10 00:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | because Mi ShellBanker killed Moilla | May 10 00:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | for $3,000,000+ per year | May 10 00:41 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, I usually do tax planning like I was saying earlier. If we're on the verge of losing more than we gain, I just do unpaid time off and have the tax department eat it. | May 10 00:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | the biggest tax right not is inflation | May 10 00:41 |
| DaemonFC | Sometimes you're like a few hundred bucks away from owing the IRS another $1,000 or something. | May 10 00:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | walmart prices up 25% | May 10 00:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | profits up maybe 15% | May 10 00:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | salaries rise 5% | May 10 00:42 |
| DaemonFC | So it makes more sense to take a couple unpaid days off in front of the TV and get a bigger tax refund. | May 10 00:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | thank you, Waltons! | May 10 00:42 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, Yeah, some of Walmart's benefits are really good, some aren't worth signing up for. | May 10 00:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | IRS is a global joke | May 10 00:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | they take tax | May 10 00:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | then they give you a big job | May 10 00:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then "return" some of what they took | May 10 00:43 |
| DaemonFC | The vision plan gets you a discount, but you have to use it off their insanely marked up eyeglass prices. | May 10 00:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | instead of just taking the correct amount to begin with | May 10 00:43 |
| DaemonFC | And how often do you really need an exam and new glasses? | May 10 00:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | encumbered stressed citizens who might already be working 2 jobs only to earn the salary of one | May 10 00:44 |
| DaemonFC | If you push it, probably a few years. Once every few years. | May 10 00:44 |
| DaemonFC | So you can sign up for Walmart's vision plan but it's just going to cost you money, in premiums and forcing you into their Vision Center, which is like 5 times the cost of going online with your prescription. | May 10 00:44 |
| DaemonFC | Ohhhhh, I can get a $100 discount from a pair of $500 glasses! Look at me! All I had to do was pay $300 in premiums! Can you believe I even got an eye exam out of this? | May 10 00:45 |
| techrights-news | howtoforge has been taken over by some dodgy new owner, I suspect (not Falko), who then outsourced the whole thing to clownflare, now blocking a lot of people who don't run JS (the site itself does not need it, but clownflare the cancer wants it). So RSS feeds too have died. howtoforge cannot survive like this... | May 10 00:46 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, you go online and you can get two nice pair of glasses for $125 if you buy them at once. An exam is like $70. | May 10 00:46 |
| DaemonFC | So you do that once every 3 years, that's $65 a year averaged out. If you buy the Walmart vision insurance, it's $300 over 3 years just for the insurance. | May 10 00:47 |
| techrights-news | BillBC will also be defunded and die in a few years. Its current business plan is taking Jeffrey Epstein and Bill and Lolita Gates Foundation bribe money for reputation laundering. Jimmy Savile is back. But now with BRIBES. | May 10 00:47 |
| DaemonFC | Then you need to pay $750 for two pair of glasses after the discount. | May 10 00:47 |
| DaemonFC | So they make $1,050 off of you when you could have just paid $195 over the same time period. | May 10 00:48 |
| DaemonFC | What kind of shitty insurance costs you five times more than going uninsured? | May 10 00:48 |
| DaemonFC | And for major eye surgery or something, there's no coverage at all. | May 10 00:49 |
| DaemonFC | So it's not like you're even buying it in case you need cataract surgery or something someday. | May 10 00:49 |
| DaemonFC | There's no justification for buying this. | May 10 00:49 |
| DaemonFC | But it's still "tax advantaged". | May 10 00:50 |
| DaemonFC | So the IRS is subsidizing insurance that takes more than it's worth out of you. | May 10 00:50 |
| DaemonFC | Our tax laws make pretty much no sense whatsoever. | May 10 00:51 |

| DaemonFC | TurboTax owes us money. | May 10 01:50 |
| DaemonFC | The FTC sued them because they were committing fraudulent advertising about free tax returns and then violating the terms of the IRS Free File program. | May 10 01:51 |
| DaemonFC | So I think we'll get at least $30 and perhaps as much as $90. | May 10 01:51 |
| DaemonFC | I think it'll probably be $60 though. | May 10 01:51 |
| DaemonFC | The first year I filed, they billed me for taking an American Opportunity Tax Credit and some other refundable credits even though we actually had no taxable income that year. | May 10 01:52 |
| DaemonFC | 2019 was bad. | May 10 01:52 |
| DaemonFC | I was living off of credit cards. | May 10 01:52 |
| DaemonFC | 2020 was better. | May 10 01:53 |
| DaemonFC | USCIS figured they'd issue Mandy's work permit and then call us in the next week and ask how we'd support ourselves. | May 10 01:53 |
| DaemonFC | Then COVID caused them to shut down all of their offices and he found a job the day our original interview was canceled. | May 10 01:54 |
| DaemonFC | THen by the time they actually got us in, he'd been employed for about a year. | May 10 01:54 |
| DaemonFC | I told him "Go apply at Walmart." and his idiot sister was demanding that he take a 90 day temp job at Medline and was furious because he applied there and they told him no, and he took the job at Walmart. | May 10 01:55 |
| DaemonFC | She tried to extort me for his entire paycheck "Or I'll drop the support affidavit I signed.". I told her "Go ahead.". She paid some scumbag lawyer a bunch of money to get rid of it and then texted us the papers she was sending there, like to try to harass me. | May 10 01:56 |
| DaemonFC | Then she started screaming at Catholic Charities, which is where I went to file our case because it was $800 there and I didn't have any money, and Trump was going to change the law in a month to where they wouldn't accept our filing if I didn't beat the deadline. | May 10 01:57 |
| DaemonFC | Catholic Charities dumped us and said they wouldn't represent us anymore and she was "blowing up their email and ringing their phone off the hook". I told them, "Well, that is disorderly conduct. I suggest you call the police if you feel it's getting out of hand.". | May 10 01:57 |
| DaemonFC | (Calling someone on the phone repeatedly with the primary intention of making the phone ring is disorderly conduct.) | May 10 01:58 |
| techrights-ipfs-bot | ▕ IPFS downstream, 60 mins: ▆▆▅▃▄▅▃▄▅▄▃▄▅▃▅▂▆▅▁▇▆▆▃▄▅▆▂▅▄▆▃▂▁▁ avg(k/sec) 20.71 ▕ IPFS upstream: ▂▁▂▂▁▁▂▂▁▁▂▂▁▂▁▂▁▂▂▂█▂▂▂▂▁▁█▁▁▂▂▁█▁ avg(k/sec) 82.68▕ swarm size (avg): 391.15 ⟲ | May 10 01:59 |
| DaemonFC | So I waited. Ended up filing an extension of his work permit, and it was approved. | May 10 01:59 |
| DaemonFC | Waited some more, they scheduled a new interview. I hired a new lawyer, had her fill out a replacement sponsorship contract using the federal regulation that allows "the intending immigrant's own income to qualify if they are being sponsored by their US citizen spouse", and to project his current income for a year, based on all of the payroll stubs I saved. | May 10 02:00 |
| DaemonFC | They threw MARISOL's letter and the support affidavit she filled out in the trash and filed the new one and approved us. | May 10 02:01 |
| DaemonFC | But before that happened, and before Mandy had been employed long, I filed bankruptcy and cleared out several hundred thousand dollars worth of my own debt, so USCIS couldn't ask me how we'd support the household with all the debt, because there is no debt. | May 10 02:02 |
| DaemonFC | So in the span of 20 months I beat back criminal charges, got married, filed an immigration case out of the motel room I was living in off credit card debt after tricking that idiot into helping us get it filed thinking she'd shake me down later, found my spouse a job, filed bankruptcy, and rebooted the immigration case. | May 10 02:04 |
| DaemonFC | During all of that, I decided that I'd stick it to the government again, so I filed a lawsuit against the State Police and forced them to give me my gun permit back. | May 10 02:04 |
| DaemonFC | I think matey understands that I actually like dealing with legal paperwork sometimes just because I find it amusing. | May 10 02:06 |
| DaemonFC | That guy that thought he was going to fuck me on the car keys ended up with me filing a 12 page credit card dispute in which I left him no plausible way to respond to. | May 10 02:06 |
| DaemonFC | And that was over $200. | May 10 02:06 |
| DaemonFC | By refusing to just hand me my money back he got the $238 (or whatever it was...something like that) clawed back by the bank and then they took another $100 from him for having to investigate it. | May 10 02:07 |
| DaemonFC | I thought it was funnier than all get out because I asked for a refund and he threatened to call the police on me. | May 10 02:08 |
| DaemonFC | So I got on my credit card website and said "Okay fucker.". | May 10 02:08 |
| DaemonFC | I wish I had just gone to Buick to begin with. | May 10 02:09 |
| DaemonFC | I figured it would be like $500 a key because the guy at KIA, when I was buying the KIA Soul, said "Don't ever lose these. They're $550 each if you have to replace one.". | May 10 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | So it stuck in my head "Hey, if you have a security key, don't go to the dealer. Go to a locksmith or something.". | May 10 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | And that's true on some cars, but Buick doesn't charge more than the locksmiths or Battery Nazi. | May 10 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | And locksmiths and Battery Nazi are just hit or miss. | May 10 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | I'm glad I didn't go on vacation or something and end up 300 miles from home and then Battery Asshole's key decided to glitch out. | May 10 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, I changed my Yelp review of the Battery Nazi as they kept yanking it and shouting "Code of Conduct!". | May 10 02:12 |
| DaemonFC | This one looks like they're going to let it stay up. | May 10 02:13 |
| DaemonFC | Apparently calling someone a lunatic for behaving like a lunatic (yelling, cursing, threatening to call the police, over an unsatisfied customer....) is not okay. Who knew? | May 10 02:13 |
| chicksahoy | lol | May 10 02:17 |
| chicksahoy | good one DaemonFC | May 10 02:17 |
| DaemonFC | chicksahoy, I included in the credit card dispute that had I known I'd be walking into Batteries Plus Crazy Person, I'd have just gone to Buick right away, and I had to go to Buick and pay them to redo everything, and here's my receipt from Buick with the technician affirming that there was no way to get any of the stuff Batteries Plus sold me to work. | May 10 02:19 |

| DaemonFC | Well, this is nice. | May 10 02:23 |
| DaemonFC | The post office sent back the authorized user credit cards I got (to hold onto) in my mom's name on my account to help her credit score, saying she wasn't on the box. | May 10 02:24 |
| DaemonFC | But they give me everyone's junk mail, including the $3,000 in unpaid parking ticket woman, the guy who fucked a 12 year old in Michigan and failed to register, and Paul's notification that his idiotic vehicle protection plan will have a price increase. | May 10 02:25 |
| DaemonFC | This is where I finally had to apply for an apartment because everyone else has standards. | May 10 02:25 |
| DaemonFC | :/ | May 10 02:25 |
| DaemonFC | The Gang Police were out here one day hauling some guy off. | May 10 02:26 |
| DaemonFC | On a few occasions, a guy was beating up his girlfriend and dragging her through the hallways, and I called 911 and the guy must have heard me because he came and stared at my door for a while. | May 10 02:26 |
| DaemonFC | It's fine. Let him beat down my front door so Smith & Wesson can teach him the error of his ways. | May 10 02:27 |
| DaemonFC | That's what I say. | May 10 02:27 |
| DaemonFC | I was standing in here with a loaded revolver aimed at the door. | May 10 02:28 |
| DaemonFC | It's important that you wait until they're actually in your apartment, and then it's very difficult for the prosecutor to claim that you weren't justified. | May 10 02:28 |
| DaemonFC | But he just stared at the door for a while and then left. | May 10 02:29 |
| DaemonFC | I think he thought he was intimidating me. | May 10 02:29 |
| DaemonFC | Had he gone further, that would have been the end of his life. | May 10 02:29 |
| DaemonFC | He'll never know that. People piss off the wrong person and then that's the end of that. | May 10 02:30 |
| DaemonFC | If it wasn't me that day it'll be some drug dealer with a piece that plugs him some other day, because that's how it is. | May 10 02:30 |
| DaemonFC | I don't really think it would fuck me up forever if I absolutely had to defend myself. I think the anti-gun groups borrowed a page out of the "You'll feel like shit forever if you have an abortion." playbook. | May 10 02:31 |
| DaemonFC | I know my mind and my conscience well enough to know what would leave me scarred for life. | May 10 02:32 |
| DaemonFC | Joining an army (voluntarily) and killing another soldier might. Killing someone for no reason or in furtherance of a crime definitely would. | May 10 02:33 |
| DaemonFC | But I don't subscribe to that "You should feel guilty for dropping some no good waste of skin that was trying to murder you." thing. I don't see how anyone would. You should sleep like a baby after that. | May 10 02:34 |
| DaemonFC | There are certain things in life where everyone has a choice as to whether they're going to do right or wrong, and doing wrong comes with risks. | May 10 02:35 |
| DaemonFC | But I live in a pretty bad place, but I make the most of it. The safe places all cost twice as much to rent....for a reason. | May 10 02:36 |

| darwin | The Beatles claimed to have become bigger than Jesus, then Brian Kernighan & Dennis Ritchie (K&R) & Ken Thompson became bigger than God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit... others might say RMS, Linus Torvalds, Patrick Volkerding | May 10 06:53 |
| darwin | i know, UNIX always was proprietary but almost all source code was available, and still is after Caldera/SCO opened it (forgot if was free/libre/copyleft license) in recent decades, so in recent years we're even seeing old Unix utilities & shells being ported to modern POSIX-based/Unix/GNU/Linux OS and AT&T & SCO & etc. apparently don't care | May 10 06:55 |
| darwin | i hope versions seven to 10 will be opened also, or better yet freed | May 10 06:56 |
| darwin | part why it wasn't considered free/libre is originally and maybe still to some extent it's only for non-commercial usage, which is okay for personal usage but RMS criticized non-commercial licenses | May 10 06:57 |

| darwin | so yeah, unfortunately 'opensource' (concept also predating the term) still has relevant meaning for code you can read & use and learn from, maybe even distribute changes, but not use commercially. I'm against opensource and avoid the term but unfortunately it's not over yet | May 10 06:59 |

| DaemonFC | I was just thinking about that episode of Married With Children where they get a credit card in the mail in the dog's name. | May 10 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | That actually happened to me once back in the 90s. | May 10 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | They sent a letter to the dog and I was like "What the hell is a bank doing sending a letter to my dog?". | May 10 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | Back then they frequently did just sign you up for a credit card without you even applying and stuck it in the mail. | May 10 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | You could start charging things to it right away. It was crazy. | May 10 12:26 |
| DaemonFC | I wondered how they signed up the dog. Dogs don't even have SSNs, so how do they do that? | May 10 12:26 |
| bnchs | DaemonFC, i wonder how much money they spent on sending mail to people's dogs | May 10 12:26 |
| DaemonFC | Well, it wasn't just junk mail, it was an activated credit card with a $1,000 spending limit! In like 1996! | May 10 12:28 |
| DaemonFC | For a dog! | May 10 12:28 |
| DaemonFC | And then now they make you beg for one with a $500 limit on it if you have had a bankruptcy, but they were fine mailing them out to dogs back in the 90s I guess. | May 10 12:28 |
| DaemonFC | I was like "The fuck am I supposed to do with a $500 limit?". | May 10 12:29 |
| bnchs | pranks like filling up people's gas tanks | May 10 12:29 |
| bnchs | oh sending an activated credit card to a guy's dog | May 10 12:29 |
| DaemonFC | $500 doesn't buy anything anymore. | May 10 12:29 |
| DaemonFC | I woke up this morning. Gas is $5 a gallon now. | May 10 12:29 |
| DaemonFC | Which means it's probably $6 in Chicago. | May 10 12:29 |
| DaemonFC | You fill up the tank and buy groceries for a couple weeks, BAM, there's your $500 limit. | May 10 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | They wonder why "nobody wants to work". | May 10 12:30 |
| bnchs | i remember that king of the hill episode where hank used to joyride boomhower's car and fill it up with gas as a prank | May 10 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | You have to work for an hour to buy gas to go to work that day. | May 10 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | It's pretty demoralizing. | May 10 12:31 |
| bnchs | why don't they do that nowadays | May 10 12:31 |
| bnchs | considering how expensive it is | May 10 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | Banks have gotten better about avoiding fraud. Back then they just didn't seem to care that much. | May 10 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | They issued me a credit card when I was like 14. | May 10 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | Which was illegal even then. | May 10 12:32 |
| bnchs | wtf? | May 10 12:32 |
| bnchs | how was that possible? | May 10 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | Minors can't sign a contract and the law, even then, said you had to be 18 to have a credit card, unless you were just an authorized user on someone else's. | May 10 12:32 |
| bnchs | did you sign anything | May 10 12:33 |
| bnchs | or do anything exactly? | May 10 12:33 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, they sent me an application, I signed it, they sent me a credit card. | May 10 12:33 |
| DaemonFC | It's Capital One for you. | May 10 12:33 |
| bnchs | that was.... easy? | May 10 12:33 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah. They had commercials on the TV all the time with vikings and sword fights and they'd always shout at each other "What's in your wallet!?". | May 10 12:35 |
| DaemonFC | <bnchs> that was.... easy? | May 10 12:37 |
| DaemonFC | It was. They also had CD/DVD clubs and I signed up for a bunch and then went "Well, I'm a kid, so...bye!" after the 9 DVDs for a penny or whatever. | May 10 12:37 |
| bnchs | 9 DVDs for a fucking penny?? | May 10 12:37 |
| bnchs | were they 4.4 GB? | May 10 12:38 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, they'd do that and you were obligated to buy 5 more for the normal price. And if you didn't reject it, they just sent you one every month. | May 10 12:38 |
| techrights-news | "My wife needed to catch a plane this weekend. She hadn't felt quite right while packing, so the night before she left, we picked up two COVID-19 test kits. I had never taken one before, which is an interesting thought to me, since the pandemic has now lasted two and a half years." In 5 months 3 YEARS. How time flies. gemini://jsreed5.org/log/2022/202205/20220509-2022-week-16-17-18-photos.gmi | May 10 12:38 |
| DaemonFC | "Director's Choice" | May 10 12:38 |
| DaemonFC | Well, 9 DVDs at the store were like $350 at the time, plus tax. | May 10 12:39 |
| DaemonFC | So you had to go through a brochure that listed everything they had in their warehouse and put in the item number in each box. | May 10 12:39 |
| DaemonFC | Then they'd mail it to you. | May 10 12:39 |
| DaemonFC | There's a lot of reasons why shopping malls have collapsed. | May 10 12:40 |
| DaemonFC | But with the rise of the Internet, there's been less of a demand for printed books and DVDs and CDs, software in boxes, and stuff, so they've all lost like 4-6 of their anchor tenants because of that alone. | May 10 12:41 |
| DaemonFC | There's still a store in the Gurnee mall that sells CDs and DVDs, but it's always pretty much empty aside from the person working there. | May 10 12:42 |
| DaemonFC | Lots of people complain today, I think, but you know. It's crazy what people used to pay for like one disc. | May 10 12:42 |

| DaemonFC | When CDs were relatively new, it was like $30-35 per disc, in the 80s. You still run across some with the original tag. | May 10 12:43 |
| DaemonFC | Minimum wage was like $2 back then? | May 10 12:43 |
| DaemonFC | So you had to be pretty well off to have a shelf of CDs. | May 10 12:43 |
| bnchs | how far we've come beyond using paper tape | May 10 12:44 |
| bnchs | they still use tape for data storage | May 10 12:44 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, I used to buy blank cassette tapes and use my aunt's stereo deck to copy off a CD onto a tape. | May 10 12:45 |
| DaemonFC | Nothing stopped you from doing that. | May 10 12:45 |
| DaemonFC | You had to do it in real time though. | May 10 12:45 |
| DaemonFC | But the tapes were like $1 each maybe? | May 10 12:46 |
| DaemonFC | Buying them pre-recorded was like $15, and buying the CD was twice that. | May 10 12:46 |
| bnchs | tapes are pretty powerful | May 10 12:46 |
| bnchs | they can handle tons of data | May 10 12:46 |
| DaemonFC | So if your friend had a CD and you wanted to make a tape off it, it was worth the nuisance. | May 10 12:47 |
| DaemonFC | Because each one you copied to a tape saved you abotu $14 or so. | May 10 12:47 |

| DaemonFC | Those are the scariest people of all. | May 10 18:44 |
| DaemonFC | I at least understand people who like macOS if they're not going to roll up their sleeves a little and get cracking on a better operating system. | May 10 18:44 |
| MinceR | so once it becomes obvious to most people what MICROS~1 and ibm/deadrat turned what was GNU/Linux into, the masses will migrate once again | May 10 18:45 |
| DaemonFC | Windows is the absolute low anchor for what to expect out of an OS. | May 10 18:45 |
| MinceR | i can't determine whether windows or macOS is worse | May 10 18:45 |
| MinceR | they're competing hard at being the worst | May 10 18:45 |
| DaemonFC | It's not only malicious (which Apple is too), but it's horrifically bloated and full of bugs and lulz. | May 10 18:45 |
| MinceR | they're both making steps toward locking out third-party applications | May 10 18:45 |
| MinceR | and the "immutable filesystem" bullshit is also a move toward that | May 10 18:46 |
| DaemonFC | I don't like horrifically bloated programs. And you can argue all day about what bloat means, but standing next to GNOME or KDE on GNU/Linux, Windows is definitely bloated. | May 10 18:46 |
| DaemonFC | Those $199 Windows laptops that the government is paying half of for poor people are like Chris Farley's old sketch, fat guy in a little jacket. | May 10 18:47 |
| MinceR | standing next to a free Unix system, gnome or kde on systemd/Linux is horrifically bloated | May 10 18:47 |
| DaemonFC | You can still install and use a GNU/Linux system on a mid to late 2000s PC with the software up to date. | May 10 18:47 |
| DaemonFC | You kind of have to lower your expectations and cut the OS to fit, but it does at least still work. | May 10 18:47 |
| DaemonFC | No dice on the Windows-side. | May 10 18:47 |
| DaemonFC | If it's not at least 2018, it won't be "supported" by Windows 11, and a lot of stuff that didn't _ship_ with Windows 11 won't run it properly or be guaranteed to get updates if you use it. | May 10 18:48 |
| DaemonFC | So I mean, on that one point alone, it's best to just stay away. | May 10 18:48 |
| DaemonFC | Now, my dad says he uses Windows 11 on one of his systems that came with it and he says he likes it better than Windows 10. | May 10 18:49 |
| DaemonFC | I said, it's not saying much. | May 10 18:49 |
| DaemonFC | It's like saying you upgraded from a Yugo to a GEO Metro. | May 10 18:49 |
| DaemonFC | But even that's not giving Microsoft credit. | May 10 18:50 |
| chicksahoy | DaemonFC: im quite happy with Fedora 36 Workstation (Gnome 42) | May 10 18:50 |
| DaemonFC | The Metro had one thing going for it, which is more than Windows does. | May 10 18:50 |
| DaemonFC | It was slow, it was poorly built, but it was good on gas. | May 10 18:50 |
| MinceR | is the geo metro so much worse than the suzuki swift/cultus on which it is based? :> | May 10 18:50 |
| MinceR | sounds like it is | May 10 18:50 |
| DaemonFC | Well, there's still people out there looking for Metros and parts. | May 10 18:50 |
| DaemonFC | They cannibalize old Metros to keep theirs running if they can't find a suitable replacement part. | May 10 18:51 |
| DaemonFC | And the reason why is simple. | May 10 18:51 |
| DaemonFC | It was a car from the 90s that was simply designed that got over 40 mpg in the city and over 50 on the highway. | May 10 18:51 |
| DaemonFC | You _could_ do that in the 90s. | May 10 18:51 |
| DaemonFC | You did not need all this Hybrid crap. | May 10 18:51 |
| DaemonFC | The Hybrid crap costs so much to maintain that the car is basically a write-off after 9 or 10 years. | May 10 18:52 |
| DaemonFC | All you need to do to keep a Metro going is find a halfway decent mechanic and cheap parts. | May 10 18:52 |
| MinceR | afaict they didn't even put GM engines in Metros | May 10 18:52 |
| DaemonFC | So that's why people still want them. | May 10 18:52 |
| MinceR | it was based on some GM "platform" though, so i dunno | May 10 18:53 |

| DaemonFC | The 2003 was actually a pretty good deal. | May 10 19:01 |
| DaemonFC | The dealer gave her a $2,700 rebate on it from GM because a driver's education course used it for about 1,200 miles or so. | May 10 19:02 |
| DaemonFC | And the "GM family discount" before the bankruptcy was higher. | May 10 19:02 |
| DaemonFC | So she got like $3,700 off of it. And cars weren't ridiculously overpriced back then, so the $3,700 was substantial. | May 10 19:03 |
| DaemonFC | A new Impala with all the options might have had an MSRP of like $26,500 or something. | May 10 19:03 |
| DaemonFC | The last year they made them, 2020, they started at $50,000, and if you wanted the options package it added almost $10,000 more. | May 10 19:04 |

| activelow | that's why, noone noticed, for example, "midnight commander" plus glib are 2MiB in size... that's _huge_ | May 10 20:01 |
| activelow | excessive, nnn is 78KiB; and it integrates with dvtm and any desired layout | May 10 20:02 |
| activelow | meaning, even software i considered moderate and efficient until recently, can be replaced with better one requiring less than 10% of LoC | May 10 20:03 |
| activelow | and the reason, why this isn't appealing, isn't caused by limitations due to their efficience, quit the contrary... instead it is lack of maintenance and adoption of such real *nix type software components | May 10 20:04 |
| activelow | GNU/FSF can't endorse quality software such as dvtm, because it crushes their own business model surrounding GNOME | May 10 20:05 |

| activelow | reminder, dvtm is 47KiB in size, and replaces both X11 and GNOME | May 10 20:18 |

| MinceR | wrong question | May 10 20:20 |
| MinceR | does activelow _need_ accessibility support? | May 10 20:20 |
| mjg59_ | Accessibility is not purely screen readers | May 10 20:20 |

| activelow | one selling point of GNOME/GTK remains: which is GIMP, visual image editing | May 10 20:27 |
| MinceR | gnome is trying to get rid of it | May 10 20:27 |
| MinceR | they've tried to kick its widgets out of its own toolkit, the gimp toolkit | May 10 20:27 |
| activelow | even digged if i could find a motif variant of this, the first version of GIMP relied on motif | May 10 20:28 |
| MinceR | because the typical crapOS-like bullshit application they're pushing doesn't use them | May 10 20:28 |
| activelow | and motif can sit on top of framebuffer directly, GTK2 too could yet this doesn't pass acceptance criteria anymore (harfbuzz) | May 10 20:28 |
| MinceR | all it needs is a city-sized title bar so that it can fit all of its fucking widgets in the title bar | May 10 20:28 |
| MinceR | and it takes up the rest of the screen with window borders | May 10 20:28 |
| MinceR | maybe the gimp's sin was trying to put widgets _inside_ windows | May 10 20:29 |
| activelow | scientific publication doesn't depend on GIMP style wysiwag anyway, vector graphics and plotting (sixel, epson-raw-bitmap) are more important, and i am certain i can implement this | May 10 20:30 |
| MinceR | how do you edit a photo without "GIMP style wysiwag"? | May 10 20:30 |
| MinceR | ImageMagick commands from the command line, blindly? | May 10 20:30 |
| bnchs | fuck GTK's big ass titlebar | May 10 20:31 |
| MinceR | yeah | May 10 20:31 |
| activelow | exactly, that's why i am saying Gimp is _the_ gnome app which i am not aware of any alternative existed | May 10 20:31 |
| MinceR | and fuck their superthick butt-ugly rounded borders too | May 10 20:31 |
| activelow | except for some very early gimp version 0.5 something, 20 years ago, which used motif instead of GTK/GNOME | May 10 20:31 |
| bnchs | MinceR, they're intended to take up more screen estate | May 10 20:31 |
| bnchs | i find myself using the KDE filepicker more than GTK for that reason | May 10 20:32 |
| bnchs | super thick ass padding for everything | May 10 20:32 |
| activelow | KDE/QT are c++ - no-go mined territory | May 10 20:32 |
| activelow | which is another irony with GNOME/GTK, which were intentionally written in C, together with glib | May 10 20:33 |
| bnchs | it's either C++ and good UI | May 10 20:33 |
| bnchs | or C and big clunky UI | May 10 20:33 |
| bnchs | also CSS if you HAVE to | May 10 20:33 |
| activelow | and then harfbuzz was fisted into GNOME/GTK... and with it c++... epic | May 10 20:33 |
| MinceR | someone loves gobject :> | May 10 20:34 |
| bnchs | gtk's API is good though | May 10 20:34 |
| bnchs | well | May 10 20:34 |
| activelow | the reason i am not willing to keep X11 is this btw: the suckless terminal (st) depends on fontconfig (not harfbuzz at least) | May 10 20:34 |
| bnchs | except that god awful JAVA PACKAGE ID | May 10 20:34 |
| MinceR | if only there were other terminals | May 10 20:35 |
| activelow | xterm too does need it, truetype/fontconfig... no thanks, and why would i bother with X11 any longer if i haven't got a clean terminal emulator | May 10 20:35 |
| MinceR | i'm guessing you don't want xft or antialiasing | May 10 20:35 |
| bnchs | vector fonts are bad | May 10 20:35 |
| MinceR | afaik there are terminal emulators that support plain old x bitmap fonts | May 10 20:36 |
| activelow | with the idea being linux-console -> yaft (with sixel support) -> dvtm | May 10 20:36 |
| bnchs | if you're trying to filter something because it's proprietary or bloated, then ok | May 10 20:36 |
| activelow | don't ask me yet, how many KiB in size yaft will be, it's another MIT licensed goodie | May 10 20:36 |
| bnchs | but if it's something like OpenGL, then that's retarded | May 10 20:36 |
| activelow | bnchs: vector fonts are _not_ bad, they're only not used correctly | May 10 20:37 |
| MinceR | apparently "correct" vector font usage means replacing c++ with c and gobject :> | May 10 20:37 |
| activelow | meaning, vector font should be pre-process (ahead of time), instead of, how should i say, realtime rasterization of those with hinting/anti-aliasing | May 10 20:38 |

| activelow | it is conceptually falwed by design, because such rasterization is _expensive_, hence it is better to pre-compile vector fonts into bitmap | May 10 20:38 |
| MinceR | especially if you also have combining characters | May 10 20:38 |
| MinceR | the memory and disk to keep all those prerendered glyphs is expensive too | May 10 20:39 |
| bnchs | MinceR, combining characters are hell to render | May 10 20:39 |
| activelow | anyway, fonconfig together with bitmap is resource hungry, very much... tested this some days ago, hence decided to ditch X11 because fontconfig/harfbuzz creeped deep into it | May 10 20:39 |
| MinceR | bnchs: yet some languages depend on them | May 10 20:39 |
| activelow | the last known good terminal emulator _without_ fontconfig was rxvt-2.7 (almost 20years ald), which i hacked back into the tree here | May 10 20:40 |
| bnchs | MinceR, yes | May 10 20:40 |
| activelow | even got some ISO8859-1 output with rxvt, yet keyboard input struggled, something is screwed with recent X11 and rxvt-2.7 LANG=ISO8859-1 | May 10 20:41 |

| DaemonFC | MinceR, Most people were too stupid to see how servicing their transmission would save them money in the end. | May 10 21:19 |
| DaemonFC | Then they ended up buying new transmissions instead. | May 10 21:19 |
| DaemonFC | Servicing the transmission only needs to be done about every 50,000 miles on average. | May 10 21:20 |
| *goosestepping_ has quit (Quit: Ping timeout: Over 9000!!!) | May 10 21:20 | |
| DaemonFC | If you plan to keep the car for a really long time, that was like 4 or 5 times over the life of the car. Most shops charge less than $200 for supplies (fluid, filter, gasket) and labor. A replacement transmission costs about $4,000 on up. So you have your choice of paying $800 or so broken out into four installments to keep the one you have running for the life of the car, or just letting the fluid degrade until it wears out the transmission. | May 10 21:21 |
| DaemonFC | Jiffy Lube charges as much as doing the job right, but only does half the job. | May 10 21:22 |
| DaemonFC | They hook it up to a machine that pushes the old fluid out and replaces the fluid, but without cleaning out the pan or replacing the gasket and filter. | May 10 21:23 |

| DaemonFC | Eventually the filter will plug up. Some OEMs didn't put a bypass in, and so it will increase the strain on the transmission and the pump that keeps the fluid circulating and it will burn out one or both pretty fast at that point. | May 10 21:23 |
| DaemonFC | Or it will have a bypass, then you have metal shavings circulating with the fluid, without being strained out by the filter. | May 10 21:24 |
| DaemonFC | Transmission servicing has pretty much been deleted from all owners manuals, even though nothing has changed about how fast the fluid and filter degrade. | May 10 21:24 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, GM moved it to Schedule II severe service on the Equinox at least. | May 10 21:25 |

| DaemonFC | https://wgntv.com/news/after-more-than-20-years-apple-discontinues-ipod/ | May 10 22:02 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-wgntv.com | After more than 20 years, Apple discontinues iPod | WGN-TV | May 10 22:02 | |
| DaemonFC | I posted a long reply. | May 10 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | Fact: The iPod was not anything special. It was just an MP3/AAC codec with some storage and a secret proprietary protocol that only iTunes was supposed to be able to use. The fact that it worked at all without iTunes was due to the reverse engineering effort behind the libimobiledevice library, which got them working under GNU/Linux. | May 10 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | Whenever libimobiledevice reversed the sync protocol, Apple would change it for no reason just to break syncing without iTunes, which was the worst program for the PC ever. The only way to be safe from them was to absolutely never connect the iPod to iTunes and to only sync it with something like Banshee or Rhythmbox. | May 10 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | Fact: Apple claimed that AAC files sounded better than MP3, but that was only somewhat true at the time. Later MP3 encoders, such as LAME and even FhG's improved past the quality of Apple's AAC encoder. Apple never bothered to even implement MP3 to specification, which is why "podcasts" in MP3 are all Constant Bitrate. | May 10 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | If you use Variable BItrate MP3s and try to play them on an Apple product, they'll work, but seeking will not behave right. It will just take you to some random part of the file. It does this because Apple ignores the VBRI or XING header and just counts the number of frames and assumes that every frame is the size of the first frame. The people working at Apple are idiots, not engineers, and they make products for idiots. | May 10 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | Fact: The iPod was massively overpriced. Often selling for 5-6 times as much money as other players, bringing no advantages to the market. In fact, it has very significant downsides, like the sync protocol and the fact that while other players support Ogg Vorbis, Opus, and FLAC, Apple has been stuck in the year 2001 for the duration. | May 10 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | Fact: The iPod was the greatest facilitator of pirated music in history, but it was Diamond that had to take the lawsuit that made the MP3 player obviously legal. The RIAA tried to declare that MP3 players were illegal because you may pirate music and put it on them. | May 10 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | This is why chainsaws are illegal. Because you could attack someone with one. Therefore they are illegal. 😉 | May 10 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | The average iPod user only bought 23 songs, even though they never stored less than 1,000 and usually stored 30,000 or more. Obviously nobody is going to spend $400 on something then only put 23 songs on it. | May 10 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | Fact: Apple tries to take credit for removing the "FoulPlay" Digital Restriction Malware they used to impose on iTunes music files, but the fact is that many other stores, like Amazon and 7Digital, sold malware-free MP3 files for years before Apple jumped on the bandwagon. | May 10 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | Fact: The article mentions a guy hired by Apple when his startup was about to collapse, but makes no mention of the fact that Apple's products suck so hard that they would have gone bankrupt in 1997 themselves had Microsoft not bailed them out to claim they had competition, even if it was worse than Windows somehow. | May 10 22:03 |
| DaemonFC | I added: Today with the iPhones, iPads, and Macs, Apple has a universal backdoor that can change them to do any malicious thing they don't currently do as soon as you connect them to the Internet and install an update. They blackmail users to install the malicious updates by threatening that the computer will stop working at all eventually if you don't. | May 10 22:04 |
| DaemonFC | Fact: While the iPod is dead, things that are far more corrosive to user freedom live on, and users should reject those too and use GNU/Linux and Free and Open Source Software, and devices which interact with those. | May 10 22:06 |
| DaemonFC | Some people with a Mac installed an update through the universal backdoor, only to find that Apple deleted their entire local music library, which may have cost them thousands of dollars or many hours of ripping from CDs, or both, and then demanded that they subscribe to Apple Music, which stops working without an Internet connection, or if you don't pay them each month forever. | May 10 22:08 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I removed the battery from my old Sansa. | May 10 22:11 |
| DaemonFC | Wasn't easy because they soldered it in. | May 10 22:12 |
| DaemonFC | I ended up managing to replace it and then I updated Rockbox again. | May 10 22:12 |
| DaemonFC | It plays Opus files and the runtime is barely any different than playing MP3s. | May 10 22:12 |
| MinceR | 10 214749 < activelow> why did FSG/GNU blow up compilation with 10x memory consumption and compilation time? | May 10 22:13 |
| MinceR | to produce binaries that are faster, and possibly also smaller | May 10 22:13 |
| MinceR | which is generally seen as desirable when using C or C++ | May 10 22:14 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, there's an up front cost at compilation time, but you can end up with binaries that work better. | May 10 22:14 |
| DaemonFC | When you have a build farm like Red Hat does, you can easily eat that up front cost. | May 10 22:14 |
