[00:13] DaemonFC Or XWayland is actually good enough for that. [00:13] DaemonFC But the reason you can do all of those corner cases is because X11 has no concept of security so there's nothing stopping you. [00:13] DaemonFC It's the same people who lamented the loss of Linspire because every other distribution got in your way if you wanted graphical root logins.

[00:22] DaemonFC AFAIK nobody ever actually went back and investigated anything that those warnings were about, they just set things up so the compiler wouldn't tell you about it. [00:22] DaemonFC So rest assured that there's plenty of other bad stuff in there. [00:22] DaemonFC Over 10,000 compiler warnings is actually pretty hilarious considering how small the compiled code turns out to be.

[01:07] XRevan86 I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Communism, is in fact, Socialism, or as I've recently taken to calling it, state capitalism plus planned economy. Communism is not a political system unto itself, but rather an economical component of a fully functioning Anarchist system. [01:07] DaemonFC I wouldn't describe the political nature of the Soviet Union as Anarchist.

Taco Bell. Rally's. It was better in the 90s when they refried the beans in cooking lard. So many people smoked that they had ashtrays at Burger King, and you saw no end to the people who were like 90 or 100 sitting there eating it and smoking with the other hand. Now the government tells us what to eat and an anti-smoking campaign [21:15] DaemonFC that would make Hitler proud and we drop dead at 50." [21:16] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:16] DaemonFC @DaemonFC@mstdn.social [21:16] DaemonFC I think that the reason that modern medicine doesn't really help people live longer, fuller lives is because doctors just sit there and do nothing and watch you die, and send you the copayments. [21:16] DaemonFC Back in the 90s, you came in, they treated what you had. [21:16] DaemonFC If it was high blood pressure, here's some Zestril, if it was cholesterol, here's a statin, if it was a bacterial infection, here's a Z-Pack. [21:16] DaemonFC Now they don't treat it. [21:16] DaemonFC If it's bp or LDL, they say eat better. [21:16] DaemonFC If it's bacterial, no antibiotics. [21:16] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:16] DaemonFC @DaemonFC@mstdn.social [21:16] DaemonFC The whole "we can't give you antibiotics for a bacterial infection" is cute. [21:16] DaemonFC 99% of the antibiotics are given to livestock, which isn't even sick, to make it grow fatter, and your vast reservoir of super-bacteria is in the livestock, not the humans. [21:16] DaemonFC So when a patient comes in and has a sinus infection you could easily cure with Augmentin and you don't give them some, you're a quack. [21:16] DaemonFC Unfortunately, the lunatics are running the asylum in modern medicine. [21:16] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:16] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:16] DaemonFC And the super-bugs are being created to make the animals enormous with antibiotics, and that's the antibiotic abuse. [21:16] DaemonFC When you get a package of chicken breasts and it looks like they came from Dolly Parton the Chicken, that's what's going on. [21:16] DaemonFC But the doctor won't treat your sinus infection. [21:18] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:18] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:18] DaemonFC The "food" industry quietly started slipping "pink slime" back into the ground beef, most of the ground beef, in America. [21:18] DaemonFC They got smarter this time. [21:18] DaemonFC When they toss the mostly empty carcasses on the conveyor belt and send them to be trimmed and treated with ammonia and then stirred together, and then back into the ground beef, a very sizable bribe was paid to Donald Trump so they could call it "Ground Beef" in the end. [21:18] DaemonFC I read an article. They could just sell you pure slime and call it beef. [21:19] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [21:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated.

[21:27] DaemonFC I read why these cars have those stupid "engine covers" and it all started out when the governments demanded that the car have some recycled components. [21:27] DaemonFC Putting a cover over the engine was a way to comply with that. [21:27] DaemonFC Funny thing is that in some cars, this contributed to the engine catching fire and the car burning up due to heat and oil accumulation. [21:27] DaemonFC When I had the old Impala serviced for recall, they took the cover off because it was part of what could cause a fire. [21:29] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [21:30] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:30] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:30] DaemonFC One reason I just take the engine cover off and throw it away when I get a car is because they don't do anything except trap heat and oil and cause things to degrade and possibly burn up. [21:30] DaemonFC The 3800 V6 spent 40 years without an engine cover and then GM decided that for the last 7 years it needs one so it can explode and wear down your spark plug wires, and such. [21:34] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:34] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:34] DaemonFC Another way of looking at the USDA report is the following: [21:34] DaemonFC The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. [21:34] DaemonFC The Illinois minimum wage (for most people) is $15. [21:34] DaemonFC So if you have even one child, you need to work 24,000 hours (3,000 8 hour shifts) in Illinois at minimum wage. [21:34] DaemonFC Even if you assume that the government will force me to pay for part of it by stealing my money and giving it to you under threat of imprisonment, it will still be a burden on you would you even want to do 2,000 days for this?

[21:37] DaemonFC They think "Ohhhh, I want a baby!". [21:37] DaemonFC They think that they'll just waddle on down to the welfare office and make it someone else's problem. [21:37] DaemonFC They don't get that while they do make everyone in society suffer for them having it, more than 2/3rds of the problem (including possibly being arrested as an unfit parent and having a criminal record) will be their problem.

[21:59] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:59] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:59] DaemonFC If you compared Windows and the x86 PC to a car, it would be like someone kept adding 500 pounds to the car every couple of years and just tossing in a bigger engine. [21:59] DaemonFC Windows 11 is at the point where you get around at 2 MPGs and not very fast even though the engine has 2000 horsepower. [21:59] DaemonFC It's just insane how badly it runs.
