[22:15]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Kevin Kofler is still trying to make something useful out of Fedora.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	No wonder he's gone insane after being exposed to that for over 20 years.
[22:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	I know
[22:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	but fedora is dead now
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	He's maintaining a copr for XLibre.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	Well, I mean he proved you can make a more pleasant version of Fedora, but that should have been obvious already.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	He stripped Anaconda out of the Fedora KDE spin in a respin.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	Now it seems like he's taken it upon himself to maintain xlibre.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	I strongly dislike GTK applications.
[22:17]	MinceR	it's easy to make a more pleasant version of fedora
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	They've made the toolkit so bad that it severely limits the applications that you can write with it.
[22:18]	MinceR	just overwrite it all with zeroes
[22:18]	MinceR	or install a real OS in its place
[22:18]	MinceR	GTK+ peaked with 2.x
[22:19]	IsambardPrince	I still had GTK 1 on my system for many years.
[22:19]	IsambardPrince	Because xmms never got ported.
[22:19]	IsambardPrince	And the plug-ins were not all free software.
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	Thomson produced an mp3hd plugin for xmms. If you ever made any it was the only thing that could reliably play them.

[22:44]	IsambardPrince	Those little "stimulus checks" even when they do happen are pointless. They don't stimulate anything because the average American is in $8,000 of credit card debt alone.
[22:44]	IsambardPrince	The $1,000 disappears into paying off 1/8th of their credit card debt or something, and they still have have a monthly car payment+expenses of $1117, $2,000-3000 a month in housing expenses, some personal loans, childcare.
[22:44]	IsambardPrince	Under Trump, $100 at the grocery store disappears with a can of coffee, a bag of cat food, and a frozen pizza.
[22:44]	IsambardPrince	I mean, they don't stimulate anything because everything you can make and more is just going to pay for things that happened years ago, with interest.
[22:49]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Mom said she had no idea how that seller on Amazon is selling Starbucks coffee so cheap and it's all well ahead of the best by date.
[22:49]	IsambardPrince	I said, "Maybe he's stealing the whole shelf and fencing it. Of course, $16.99 for 10 ounces of coffee is the crime. At that point fencing it is more like free enterprise."
