[07:07] Isambard_Prince I was keeping it around mostly because I really liked the email and calendar program. [07:07] Isambard_Prince It was also my NNTP handler. [07:08] Isambard_Prince Mozilla got rid of the "Suite" a long time ago. Then they stopped SeaMonkey from even using their servers or bug tracking system. [07:08] Isambard_Prince Gecko has gone through multiple breaking changes that made it more or less useless for plucking code for SeaMonkey and now SeaMonkey is more or less dead. [07:09] Isambard_Prince It's rare that even trivial things can be backported to SeaMonkey now. It should have switched to the Goanna engine from Pale Moon. [07:09] Isambard_Prince That's much more relevant to what the SeaMonkey project was trying to do. [07:09] Isambard_Prince And then one of the developers of SeaMonkey died.

[21:56] Isambard_Prince And since the antenna wasn't digital, if you were okay with a little bit of snow in the picture, it *might* be possible to watch the game 50-60 miles from the TV station. [21:56] Isambard_Prince Now with digital, you can live 10 miles from the station and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work. It depends on a lot of things like how many buildings are in the way or where the neighbor parked that evening, or if it's raining. [21:57] Isambard_Prince But it doesn't really matter because the game isn't on WGN anymore. MLB has another app you have to subscribe to, and using that app costs money, and also needs a fast internet connection. ● Dec 18 [22:04] Isambard_Prince "No rebooting" [22:04] Isambard_Prince No rebooting in Windows? Since when? What version? Last time I used it you had to reboot for almost everything, and sometimes it even rebooted itself without asking. [22:05] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], MinceR ^ [22:05] MinceR if there's "no rebooting" on Backdoors, what's the whole "Active Hours" bullshit about? [22:05] Isambard_Prince It's fine for KDE Neon to say updates are available, when you get a moment, but no rush. [22:05] MinceR not to mention that the pile of shit demands to reboot all the time, and when it does, it never gets anything done in 1 reboot [22:06] Isambard_Prince But it's absolutely not okay for an OS (like Windows) to just reboot while you have things open without asking if that's okay. [22:06] MinceR on the work laptops, i have to keep entering the BitFucker PIN over and over again because these retards can't do a proper system update [22:06] MinceR (and BitFucker doesn't even do anything...) [22:06] MinceR sometimes it tries to update something without rebooting (they're so proud of that) and the thing nearly dies every time it does that [22:07] MinceR screen goes blank, then it comes back, some window decorations become blank, the whole thing barely limps after that [22:07] Isambard_Prince Some Linux distributions barely have any reboots, especially with kernel hot patching. [22:07] admfubar waymo chaos on the roads https://futurism.com/advanced-transport/waymo-wrong-way [22:07] Isambard_Prince But I don't think any OS doesn't require a reboot, ever. [22:07] TR Bot Waymo Spotted Driving Wrong Way Down Busy Street [22:07] MinceR well, a properly designed GNU/Linux distro can do an update with at most 1 reboot [22:08] MinceR and the user/admin gets to decide when that happens [22:08] MinceR also, on GNU/Linux, most of this work can be done while people can use the machine [22:09] MinceR on Backdoors, you get a blank screen with some bullshit writing, orbiting dots, and some totally bullshit percentage count [22:09] Isambard_Prince MinceR, One Windows 10 update they hit me with made it impossible to log in at all. [22:09] MinceR and nobody knows how long it's really going to take [22:09] Isambard_Prince Because the PIN and password were suddenly "wrong". [22:09] MinceR :> [22:09] MinceR it's always the user's fault [22:09] Isambard_Prince Something Happened Something Happened [22:10] MinceR like when the RadioActive Directory (luckily) only used for MICROS~1 Sexchange decided that i remembered my password wrong [22:10] MinceR unfortunately, that password was set up in my mail client, so i wasn't the one remembering it wrong... [22:10] MinceR it was RadioActive Directory. [22:10] MinceR these retards can't even store passwords reliably. [22:11] admfubar https://futurism.com/advanced-transport/tesla-fsd-cant-drive-sun [22:11] TR Bot Tesla Owner Says FSD Is Great Except for the Part Where It Can't Drive in the Sun [22:12] MinceR well, at least now Indian Bowel Movement and MICROS~1 employ another bunch of idiots to reinvent everything that makes Backdoors, Outhouse, Orifice and the rest of the MICROS~1 product line unusable [22:13] MinceR MICROS~1 does it that way, therefore that is the "modern" way to do it, therefore you must want to do it that way [22:13] admfubar https://itsfoss.com/news/denmark-road-traffic-authority-ditches-microsoft/ [22:13] TR Bot Denmark Begins its Exit from Microsoft and This is Just the Beginning [22:13] MinceR too bad they have a fixation on chatcontrol [22:13] MinceR not just for themselves but for all of the EU [22:16] MinceR though you can bet it won't apply to the most powerful people [22:16] MinceR they're not to be held responsible for anything [22:16] MinceR they deserve privacy, you don't [22:21] Isambard_Prince I still haven't figured out what Fandango is for. [22:22] Isambard_Prince Apparently adding a $2 surcharge to each movie ticket that the theater doesn't have. [22:23] Isambard_Prince "Alert Notification permission is required, to show notification [22:51] MinceR https://engrish.com/2024/05/please-dear-drink-your-tang/ [22:51] TR Bot Please, dear, drink your Tang ● Dec 18 [23:13] Isambard_Prince MinceR, I will take ten Fandangos please! [23:14] Isambard_Prince How is this company in business. [23:14] MinceR how are most companies in business? [23:14] Isambard_Prince $2.50 a ticket extra, and you don't get the 50% off on Tuesday and Wednesday, or your movie rewards points. [23:14] Isambard_Prince Fair enough, I guess. [23:14] Isambard_Prince So you're paying extra to screw yourself out of points and discount days by just using the movie theater's site. [23:14] Isambard_Prince That seems.....dumb. [23:15] Isambard_Prince The only time I use Fandango is when there's a promo like you go out to eat somewhere and they give you movie tickets. [23:15] Isambard_Prince Applebees was doing that a while back. It's literally the only reason to pay $30 a person for Applebees. [23:16] Isambard_Prince When you get some movie tickets that would have cost like $15. [23:16] Isambard_Prince MinceR, I pointed out Trump interrupting the TV last night to deny inflation was happening, and to also blame Joe Biden 12 times for the inflation....that's apparently a hoax. [23:18] Isambard_Prince MinceR, I'll be out of town all week next week with the person I'm with now. I guess my husband that asked for a divorce can enjoy eating microwavable pancit on Christmas. [23:19] MinceR still seems to be better than pagpag
