| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Another big BIPA settlement. | May 22 00:36 |
| DaemonFC | A vending machine company in Illinois was taking people's fingerprints when they ordered sandwiches, snacks, and drinks out of it. | May 22 00:36 |
| DaemonFC | So they owe me $600 because I purchased a sandwich from one of their machines. | May 22 00:36 |
| XRevan86 | Also Finland having a long-term contract with Gazprom makes me think that the only real reason why they rejected the silly ruble demand that has no bearing on reality is that it forces Gazprom to violate and terminate the contract. | May 22 00:37 |
| XRevan86 | Which is a clean exit for Finland from the contract that would've otherwise haunted them for 9 years. | May 22 00:38 |
| DaemonFC | You could say the gas deal blew up on Putin. | May 22 00:39 |
| DaemonFC | Most of the people he's trying to "negotiate" like this don't really need the stuff that badly. | May 22 00:39 |
| XRevan86 | Putin made a statement and with that single statement worsened the situation for Russia. | May 22 00:39 |
| DaemonFC | Well yeah, because now Finland isn't going to buy any Russian gas which hurts the Russian economy. | May 22 00:40 |
| activelow | XRevan86: i think there is a misunderstanding | May 22 00:40 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: By you? :) | May 22 00:40 |
| DaemonFC | After Ukraine throws them out, it will probably join NATO. | May 22 00:40 |
| activelow | which is, the supposed gas supply shortage is not caused by Putin | May 22 00:40 |
| activelow | instead, within "EU" various political actors aggressively agitate "climate change" etc... | May 22 00:41 |
| DaemonFC | Had Russia bargained to withdraw immediately in exchange for neutrality from Ukraine, they could have gotten that, months ago. | May 22 00:41 |
| DaemonFC | At this point about half the equipment Russia sent in with the invasion is destroyed or captured. | May 22 00:41 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: The situation is actually very single, I don't get what ye don't understand here. | May 22 00:41 |
| XRevan86 | * very simple | May 22 00:41 |
| activelow | for various reasons, including excess taxation cash grabbing, while Gazprom supplied gas at 20Euro/MWh... i spare you the details, what the surplus margin is within "EU" | May 22 00:41 |
| DaemonFC | The US sent "defensive weaponry", but the thing is our stuff works. | May 22 00:41 |
| activelow | now, various political lunatics, in "EU", not russia, struggle with their bullshit propaganda | May 22 00:42 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: Ye previously said that there are no long-term contracts, and that's bad for Europe. | May 22 00:42 |
| activelow | because, energy prices exploded, regarldes of any "war" wherever, the energy prices in EU are not realted to this | May 22 00:43 |
| XRevan86 | Meanwhile, there is a literal long-term contract, that exists, and which Gazprom violates and terminates, *because* Mr. Putin said a stupid thing. | May 22 00:43 |
| activelow | now, "EU" propaganda apparatschiks intend to deflect and blame Putin | May 22 00:43 |
| activelow | XRevan86: "sanctions", which were pushed by "EU" | May 22 00:43 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: Finland is not doing it because of the sanctions. | May 22 00:44 |
| activelow | if Gazprom doesn't receive orders nor payment, then gas supplies vanish | May 22 00:44 |
| DaemonFC | If Germany hadn't set out to shut down their nuclear power plants, you wouldn't be in this horrible quagmire involving Russian gas. | May 22 00:44 |
| activelow | furthermore Putin clearly stated there isn't any conflict between Sweden/Finland and Russia | May 22 00:44 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: Let me tell you again: the old payment scheme and the new payment scheme are close enough that EU doesn't even consider the change as a violation of sanctions. | May 22 00:45 |
| activelow | Putin expressed concern only about this: NATO weaponry at the borders of the russian federation | May 22 00:45 |
| DaemonFC | The unified German government decided to turn off nuclear power plants that worked, and would still work today. | May 22 00:45 |
| DaemonFC | Claiming that they were "unsafe" and then they started buying Putin's blood gas instead. | May 22 00:45 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: The ruble mess is _nominal_. Understand? | May 22 00:45 |
| activelow | XRevan86: tbh. not really, i do not understand yet what the rublefication means | May 22 00:45 |
| DaemonFC | Putin hasn't stabilized the value of the Ruble, he's just instituted policies that return the appearance of normality even though the economy is ruined. | May 22 00:46 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: Do I have to explain what they did again? | May 22 00:46 |
| activelow | i only noticed, in the local grocery store, excess inflation, prices for bread +30%, although reports were germany produced all wheat it requires and doesn't depend on imports | May 22 00:46 |
| activelow | which, again, i do not believe was related to Putin or Gazprom | May 22 00:46 |
| activelow | it is a cash grabbing scam again by "EU" or "german" government | May 22 00:47 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: So after Putin made that demand, Gazprom realised that they have to conform but also keep the clients, so they proposed a new scheme: the clients pay in Gazprombank in whatever currency, then they internally convert it to rubles and that is considered the payment. | May 22 00:47 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: Trust me, this is what happened. | May 22 00:47 |
| DaemonFC | You can make a currency worth almost anything you want, per unit. | May 22 00:48 |
| DaemonFC | China and Japan have been maintaining Dollar pegs for years by buying US Treasury Bonds. | May 22 00:48 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: Most EU countries accepted the terms because who even cares. | May 22 00:48 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: But some, like Finland, considered it's not worth it, and declined. | May 22 00:48 |
| DaemonFC | China can give that up, but they would ruin their biggest customer and create lots of unemployed angry people in China. | May 22 00:48 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: What this means is that de-facto Finland terminates the long-term contract, but de-jure Gazprom terminates it. | May 22 00:49 |
| XRevan86 | So Gazprom is culpable here. | May 22 00:49 |
| XRevan86 | and it is Putin and Gazprom who gave that exit for Finland, which additionally makes them culpable. | May 22 00:49 |
| XRevan86 | * to Finland | May 22 00:50 |
| activelow | i do not think it is Gazprom or Putin at fault, it is the EU propaganda bullshit | May 22 00:50 |
| XRevan86 | In what world is that not a very self-harming thing to do? | May 22 00:50 |
| XRevan86 | This is not propaganda, this is literally events. | May 22 00:50 |
| XRevan86 | Things that happened. | May 22 00:51 |
| activelow | you see, those EU propaganda prostitutes in politics and tv... to safe the climate and social ecological justice and this and that... this justified excess looting and plundering, _within_ EU, this is unrelated to russia and gazprom | May 22 00:52 |
| activelow | the problem within EU, is the financial and economic disparaties, corruption, mis-management | May 22 00:52 |
| XRevan86 | I said things that are very much related to Russia and Gazprom. | May 22 00:53 |
| activelow | energy price explosion was extreme within "EU", long before the "war", without any impact on "climate" or "justice" blah | May 22 00:53 |
| activelow | now they seek an excuse, why this excess taxation cash grabbing didn't have the desired effect on "climate change"... evil dictator Putin they say now | May 22 00:54 |
| XRevan86 | I prefer things that are concrete. | May 22 00:54 |
| XRevan86 | There is simple cause and effect here, very clearly visible. | May 22 00:54 |
| XRevan86 | If that doesn't fit into your broad scheme, then maybe it has a poor connection to reality or none at all. | May 22 00:55 |
| activelow | furthermore, EU cheated Russia/Gazprom, by devaluating Euro currency | May 22 00:55 |
| activelow | "EU" propaganda now argues, the recent inflation was caused by Putin... which is ridiculous propaganda | May 22 00:56 |
| activelow | because, the last data i read about was Gas for 20Euro/MWh | May 22 00:56 |
| XRevan86 | In what fscking world is that true? Relative to ruble both USD and euro cheapen right now with such a degree individual fluctuations are not even noticeable. | May 22 00:56 |

| XRevan86 | It's also probably the first time most economists see strengthening of a currency has a bad thing. | May 22 00:58 |
| MinceR | presumably in the dream world of russian state media | May 22 00:58 |
| MinceR | in which the date is no later than 2022-feb-27 | May 22 00:58 |

| XRevan86 | MinceR: One catch is that Russian economical isolation made currency conversion significantly less prevalent. | May 22 00:59 |
| XRevan86 | Another catch is that exporters from Russia are obligated to sell 80% of their foreign currency profits, i.e. buy rubles. | May 22 01:00 |
| XRevan86 | And it seems that because they have to do it, and expect losses, they are inclined to buy rubles at a loss. | May 22 01:01 |
| XRevan86 | And that in turn makes the ruble more expensive. | May 22 01:01 |
| XRevan86 | And then there are restrictions for who can even buy USD and euros in Russia. | May 22 01:02 |
| XRevan86 | All that combined makes the ruble rapidly gain cost. | May 22 01:02 |
| XRevan86 | I'm curious how far it'll go. | May 22 01:02 |
| activelow | what exactly would Russia import with Euros or USD? and too the chinese did rublefy their trade with russia | May 22 01:03 |
| activelow | XRevan86: is there anything you couldn't by with Rubles? | May 22 01:03 |
| MinceR | anything that isn't produced in terrorussia | May 22 01:05 |

| XRevan86 | activelow: Show me anything that China buys from / sells to Russia for rubles. | May 22 01:09 |
| XRevan86 | "what exactly would Russia import with Euros or USD?" <- *everything* | May 22 01:10 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | i once read they use yuan more and more over time | May 22 01:11 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | maybe I misunderstood | May 22 01:11 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | i think they trade with china n their own currencies | May 22 01:11 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | be sure to double-check this | May 22 01:11 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | and, if true, it's pretty significsnt | May 22 01:12 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | because china gdp is about on par with eu zone and us | May 22 01:12 |

| schestowitz | "To facilitate financial transactions in the regions, China and Russia will conduct a currency swap. Central banks, with whom China has signed currency swaps, are able to issue loans to their banks in yuan. A currency swap agreement was signed with Russia in the amount of 150 billion yuan ($25 billion). " | May 22 01:14 |
| schestowitz | "Currency swaps will make the ruble and the yuan more stable, which in turn will have a positive impact on the stability of the global financial system. Additionally, the expansion of currency trading may facilitate investment processes. By investing in an economy that is now facing certain problems due to the fall of the ruble and oil prices, China is carrying out soft expansion and supports one of its main partners" | May 22 01:14 |
| schestowitz | "China and Russia have long advocated reducing the role of the dollar in international trade, and both aim to create conditions for the development of bilateral trade and mutual investment." | May 22 01:15 |
| schestowitz | "The rate of de-dollarization chosen by the countries is due to the rapid growth of the RMB's share in international payments and settlements (Oct. 2013. – 0.84%, Dec. 2014. – 2.17%, Feb. 2015. – 1.81%)." | May 22 01:15 |

| XRevan86 | schestowitz: If that had any effect, I'm not seeing it. | May 22 01:16 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | if it will change soon, it'll change against USD | May 22 01:16 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | as china too feels besieged by US | May 22 01:16 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | and some say it fakes shotrages to cause "supply chain" crisis | May 22 01:17 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | for US and EU | May 22 01:17 |
| XRevan86 | schestowitz: Possible, but I think Russia backstage might not want this. | May 22 01:17 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | and if so, it's WORKING | May 22 01:17 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | lockdowns resulted in missing components | May 22 01:17 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | but so is US and maybe EU | May 22 01:17 |
| XRevan86 | schestowitz: Despite what activelow thinks, Russia really wants dollars and euros that are accessible. | May 22 01:17 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | EU does not even a debt as severee | May 22 01:18 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | except maybe Greece and some other debt-saddled nations | May 22 01:18 |

| schestowitz_TR2 | China will emerge stronger from this war | May 22 01:18 |

| XRevan86 | > Many are surprised that the Russians dug trenches in the Red Forest and were not afraid of radiation exposure.

| DaemonFC | Right, the shittier Russian version of GPS. | May 22 02:02 |
| DaemonFC | Not as accurate. They also have had trouble maintaining the coverage of the network. | May 22 02:02 |
| XRevan86 | And they use components that are no longer accessible, so no new GLONASS for Russia. | May 22 02:03 |
| DaemonFC | LOL | May 22 02:03 |
| DaemonFC | So the system will degrade even more the longer that goes on. | May 22 02:03 |
| XRevan86 | Unless they figure something out fast. | May 22 02:03 |
| DaemonFC | Other than launching more satellites or moving the ones you have to different positions to expand the field of coverage at the price of reducing the accuracy even more. | May 22 02:04 |
| XRevan86 | Russia does have actual surveillance satellites, but I know jack shit about them. | May 22 02:04 |
| DaemonFC | The second part would only work for as long as you can maintain at least some minimal number of satellites in the system. | May 22 02:04 |

| XRevan86 | Nordstream-2 was still alive as a project (but barely) until the invasion. | May 22 03:23 |

| chicksahoy | DaemonFC: im glad you got some money out of them | May 22 03:24 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: It does have *something* to do with Ukraine: NS-2 was being built to pipe gas around Ukraine. That's about it. | May 22 03:26 |
| MinceR | not much of a casus belli, is it? | May 22 03:27 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: It takes a lot to figure out what casus belli activelow even sees in one thing or another. | May 22 03:28 |
| XRevan86 | I usually fail at that. | May 22 03:28 |
| activelow | i had not noticed once the Ukrainian pipelines should stop operations, never, not once did anyone argue to terminate the ukrainian pipeline, not the russians, not the germans, noone | May 22 03:29 |
| activelow | although, i do wonder, what Burisma Bidler did, in Ukraine, and why USA dumped billions of cash | May 22 03:29 |
| activelow | then the comedian seeks to join EU, yet EU currency isn't USD, it is Euro | May 22 03:30 |
| MinceR | maybe because the ukrainian pipeline goes to hungary, not germany | May 22 03:30 |
| activelow | and the Russian currence to conduct russian gas business with, is Rubles, not Dollars... | May 22 03:30 |
| MinceR | and the hungarian government doesn't mind global warming | May 22 03:30 |
| MinceR | and neither does it mind being dependent on the orcs for absolutely everything | May 22 03:30 |
| activelow | remember this? a few weeks before Iraq war rumors were Saddam planned to switch USD against Euro... little later there was boots on the ground in Iraq again, 2004 | May 22 03:31 |
| XRevan86 | activelow: Ukraine doesn't want to harm the state that help them, so they have an incentive to keep the pipeline going. | May 22 03:31 |
| MinceR | remember this? [random whataboutism straight from putler's state media] | May 22 03:31 |
| XRevan86 | But there was one thing: Ukraine officially doesn't take responsibility for the parts of the pipeline on the territory that Russia occupies. | May 22 03:31 |
| DaemonFC | <chicksahoy> DaemonFC: im glad you got some money out of them | May 22 03:32 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, that'll pay for about half of the body shop stuff the Buick is in for. | May 22 03:32 |

| DaemonFC | I decided to pick up some of the long last ones. I'll probably write about what I find. | May 22 12:21 |
| DaemonFC | According to Brita, it's 6 months, but what they also say is "or 120 gallons". The standard ones say 2 months "or 40 gallons". | May 22 12:21 |
| DaemonFC | We go through water way faster than 40 gallons every 2 months. So I usually just change the standard cartridge every month or so. | May 22 12:22 |
| DaemonFC | The ion exchange resin eventually gets spent and the filter doesn't do a great job anymore. | May 22 12:23 |
| DaemonFC | The most important point about water is getting it in you, and that's hard to do if it tastes bad. | May 22 12:23 |
| matey | <XRevan86> They lie and fabricate, when they're stretching the truth that already feels like an accomplishment. | May 22 12:24 |
| matey | <XRevan86> And of course there's literally no accountability | May 22 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | It's hard to come up with a quantifiable method of filter replacement advice. About all you can do is take the average tap water and base the manufacturer recommendations on that, but everyone has different problems with their water. Even within the county I live in, different municipal systems have better or worse tap water. | May 22 12:25 |
| matey | sounds familiar | May 22 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | In Fox Lake, you're lucky to get 10 gallons out of a "lead removal" rated filter before it clogs up entirely, but in Waukegan you can easily do at least 80 gallons. That was my experience when Great Value still made them, anyway. | May 22 12:26 |
| DaemonFC | I'll be very surprised if the Brita Long Last filter actually gets anywhere near 120 gallons before I can't stand the flow rate anymore. | May 22 12:26 |
| techrights-news | "Wikidot (and by extension the SCP Wiki) is down until Monday." gemini://station.martinrue.com/ | May 22 12:27 |
| DaemonFC | So far, nothing that filters over 95% of lead as stated by NSF standard 52 lasts more than about 80 or 90 gallons with Lake Michigan as the municipal water source. | May 22 12:27 |
| DaemonFC | The standard Brita filters can easily go on for a very long time without clogging, so unless you set your phone to remind you to change them out, you won't remember to. | May 22 12:28 |
| DaemonFC | I switched to the standard Brita from the Great Value Lead Removal filter because Walmart got out of the water filter business, and Brita actually has patents to make their filters flow well anyway. When I tried using Walmart's standard Brita compatible cartridges, I ended up taking them back to the store. | May 22 12:29 |

| DaemonFC | 1. They had a terrible problem with (air pocket) clogging and 2. They made the tap water taste even worse than it did coming out of the faucet. | May 22 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | It's hard getting decent results out of a gravity-fed water filter system. | May 22 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | Either you accept mediocre filtration ability to get a better flow rate, or you accept that it's going to take a long time to filter the water to get more stuff out. | May 22 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | I've been drinking water out of a Brita system since the 1990s when they were the latest fad appliance. | May 22 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | So anywhere I go that I don't have one at hand, I usually am disgusted by the taste of the tap. At the same time, Walmart does have those "water island" machines. | May 22 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | The problem with those is you don't know what the servicing schedule is like. When California investigated, they found that many were so poorly maintained that they were actually dangerous to get water from. The water going in met EPA standards at least, but the water coming out had problems such as coliform bacteria that would have violated had it happened at the treatment plant. | May 22 12:33 |

| activelow | they replaced ß with ss, in old language ß and ss were pronounced slightly different, and the articles das and daß are gramatically different | May 22 17:13 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-wgntv.com | Consumers defy inflation to support economy. For how long? | WGN-TV | May 22 19:30 | |
| DaemonFC | I commented. | May 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | "Washington (AP) - Three heroic consumers braved the burning wreckage of the Biden economy today to support the American way of living. Between all of them, they could afford three gallons of gas and a day's worth of groceries. Their combined income was $200,000 a year, which in the past 12 months has been reduced to $20,000. | May 22 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | When reached for comment about the ordeal, Elon Musk accused all three of them of just not wanting to work hard enough and said that he'd vote for Donald Trump to come back and pass more trade amendments to allow Tesla to flee to China without consequence." | May 22 19:30 |
| activelow | ♥†£ öäüÖÄÜ ... nice, no need for switching keyboard layout anymore for this, F1..F4 remapped to the regular codepoints to be happy with Vim | May 22 19:30 |
| activelow | not sure yet, if and how to cope with cyrillic, for this i need a cyrillic labeled keyboard, won't memorize three different layouts (de, us, ru) without a correctly labeled keyboard | May 22 19:33 |
| activelow | and mathematical expression... yet those are context sensitive and an sqrt/sin/tan etc. expand differently depending on context | May 22 19:33 |
| activelow | with C language the unicode glyphs are useless of cause, and sqrt should expand to the corresponding math.h function name at least | May 22 19:34 |
| activelow | within TeX typesetting context sqrt had to expand to the unicode glyph | May 22 19:34 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Mom said she found something bizarre at "Dollar Tree". | May 22 19:35 |
| DaemonFC | Previously, everything in the store cost $1, hence the name. | May 22 19:35 |
| DaemonFC | When I used to shop there 17-18 years ago, you could actually get some decent stuff for $1. | May 22 19:35 |
| DaemonFC | In fact, I even went there to get multi-packs of soap and high quality scented candles. | May 22 19:35 |
| activelow | and keyboards are missing the labeled keys for mathematical expressions anyway; i had wanted a Ti89 style numpad | May 22 19:36 |
| DaemonFC | But then as the years went by, they shrank the size and quantity of things, and then skimped on quality too. You could buy trash bags, but as soon as you threw anything in them, they'd tear and you lost them all. So I stopped shopping there. | May 22 19:36 |
| DaemonFC | A couple days ago, mom went in after they rebranded to Dollar Tree Plus. | May 22 19:37 |
| DaemonFC | She went to find a broom, and the broom was $1.25. But it was one of those little brooms that you have to get down on hands and knees to use, like if you broke a glass or something and needed to make sure you swept it all up, or a small mess. So she asked the worker there where the full sized brooms were. | May 22 19:38 |
| activelow | instead, what have we got, instead of an opensource texas instruments firmware? | May 22 19:38 |
| DaemonFC | It turns out that you could buy a handle that twisted into the small broom to make it a full sized broom, for another $1.25. And while they used to have a full sized broom, with a full sized handle, with a dustpan included, now you have to buy the dustpan, for $1.25. | May 22 19:38 |
| DaemonFC | So the set that cost $1 5 years ago is now $3.75 if you want a full sized broom and a dustpan. | May 22 19:39 |
| DaemonFC | I told her last time I was in there was years ago, and they had "$1 ribeye steaks, frozen" and I said "I don't even want to know what's in that.". | May 22 19:40 |
| DaemonFC | Well, fortunately, there's the Internet, so other people bought them and reviewed it. It's as nasty as you'd suspect. | May 22 19:40 |
| DaemonFC | I told mom that inflation whittled away the cheap dollar store a long time ago. I used to shop there even when I worked at Walmart because you could get things like a 4 pack of full sized bath soaps at the Dollar Tree for $1. Now they're 2 travel sized bars and they want $1.25 for it. | May 22 19:41 |
| DaemonFC | So really you pay triple for the same volume of bath soap, and by this point, you're better off going to Walmart and getting a 8 pack of full sized bars for $3.98. | May 22 19:43 |
| DaemonFC | About the only way the Dollar Tree math works out in your favor anymore is if you need a bar of soap today, right now, Dollar Tree is right there, Walmart is on the other side of town, and gas costs $5.15 because Biden, and you just can't get by until your normal shopping day because you forgot to buy soap. | May 22 19:44 |
| MinceR | 22 171914 < activelow> what a joke, a liberal politician in german parliament shouted: "1 and 1 is 1 and not 3"... | May 22 19:46 |
| DaemonFC | "We printed up 35% of the previous total of all Dollars in circulation. The oil companies want the same inflation-adjusted profits as before. Putin's war in Ukraine is the entire reason for the gas prices." -Politicians | May 22 19:46 |
| MinceR | i guess not many people know bitwise logical operations | May 22 19:46 |
| MinceR | 22 180059 < activelow> it is almost an act of sabotage, how brackets are mapped with german keyboard layout | May 22 19:47 |
| MinceR | just use us layout :> | May 22 19:47 |
| MinceR | maybe altgr-intl variant | May 22 19:47 |
| MinceR | 22 181358 < activelow> they replaced ß with ss, in old language ß and ss were pronounced slightly different, and the articles das and daß are gramatically different | May 22 19:47 |
| MinceR | what was the difference in pronunciation? | May 22 19:47 |
| MinceR | especially considering that afaik ß is just a ligature of 2 different forms of 's' :> | May 22 19:48 |

| XRevan86 | I remembered something incredibly random. | May 22 20:41 |
| XRevan86 | Which is the existence of this film: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ru/d/d3/Постер_фильма_Zолушка.jpg (Cinderella 2013) | May 22 20:42 |
| XRevan86 | * 2012 | May 22 20:42 |
| activelow | MinceR: i always use us layout, this one was missing various mappings for other tasks than programming C | May 22 20:42 |
| XRevan86 | Which in Russian is called (and stylised) as "Zолушка". | May 22 20:43 |
| activelow | US is missing mappings for mathematics, currency symbols, and german | May 22 20:43 |
| *bnchs has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | May 22 20:43 | |
| activelow | the only problem remaining is, Vim and home-end in insert mode | May 22 20:44 |
| MinceR | a compose key can supplement many missing glyphs | May 22 20:45 |
| activelow | tried those, linux terminal and yaft didn't accept various sequences | May 22 20:45 |
| MinceR | but german characters you can even enter with altgr in the intl and altgr-intl variants | May 22 20:45 |
| XRevan86 | And that Cinderella film is not legal in some countries now :) | May 22 20:45 |
| MinceR | yeah, probably works better in X | May 22 20:45 |
| XRevan86 | At least it would have been if anyone actually cared. | May 22 20:45 |
| activelow | nope, X isn't any better or worse | May 22 20:46 |
| MinceR | pretty sure these things work fine for me | May 22 20:46 |
| DaemonFC | "“Never bet against the U.S. consumer,” Ashworth said." | May 22 20:46 |
| MinceR | altgr+q = ä, compose,",a = ä | May 22 20:46 |
| activelow | MinceR: how do you handle Vim in insert mode with home/end keys? this one is a headache on linux console | May 22 20:46 |
| MinceR | altgr+s = ß, compose,s,s = ß | May 22 20:46 |
| DaemonFC | Except for that one time when baby boomers took out HELOCs and equity loans on their house and car to prop up expensive vacations to Disney World and then lost their houses and cars. | May 22 20:46 |
| DaemonFC | But that was different. | May 22 20:46 |
| DaemonFC | Basically, never bet against this bunch. | May 22 20:47 |
| MinceR | activelow: esc (to normal mode), then 0 to go to start of line and $ to go to end of line | May 22 20:47 |
| activelow | i said insert mode | May 22 20:47 |
| MinceR | have you tried whatever emacs uses for those? | May 22 20:47 |
| MinceR | you could bind (map) them if they are unbound | May 22 20:47 |
| activelow | emacs got no modes | May 22 20:47 |

| activelow | and besides, i'll try to remove GNU readline and see how bash behaves then | May 22 20:48 |
| MinceR | yeah, so it has a bunch of ctrl+whatever combinations for such commands | May 22 20:48 |
| MinceR | afaik gnu readline can do vi and emacs modes for you | May 22 20:48 |
| activelow | i remapped hom-end to ctrl+a ctrl+e with linux console (loadkeys), to keep this consistent | May 22 20:49 |
| activelow | then there is .inputrc for readline .less for less etc... all that is working OK already, within X11 and on linux console | May 22 20:49 |
| activelow | it is only Vim insert mode with home/end which sucks | May 22 20:50 |

| activelow | didn't mean to interrupt; anyway, if the entire system includign framebuffer was limited to 8bit color palette, this reduced required memory bandwidth accordingly | May 22 21:58 |
| activelow | however, the industry pushed for their GPU/DRM with 32bit, this alone slowed down processing ~75% | May 22 21:59 |
| MinceR | 24bit and 32bit color is a lot nicer to look at | May 22 21:59 |
| activelow | and the mali gpu for example, doesn't support 8bit, not yet... | May 22 21:59 |
| MinceR | also works better with photos and video | May 22 21:59 |
| activelow | obviously not, with 16bit there isn't any noticable difference at all | May 22 22:00 |
| activelow | and with 8bit high quality photos look very good still | May 22 22:00 |
| MinceR | that is, _you_ can't notice the difference | May 22 22:00 |
| activelow | was surprised myself, 8bit color palette suffices, although with 8bit visual quality is slightly degrade, barely noticable | May 22 22:00 |
| MinceR | and high quality photos need the right palette and dithering to look even passable in an 8bit mode | May 22 22:00 |
| activelow | i converted various photos for testing into sixels, 8bit color palette, with very good visual quality | May 22 22:01 |
| MinceR | even in 24bit true color, a grayscale transition won't look perfectly smooth without dithering | May 22 22:01 |
| MinceR | (and afaik 32bit is just +8 bits of alpha or padding) | May 22 22:01 |
| activelow | yes, 32bit contains the alpha channel | May 22 22:02 |
| activelow | and with 8bit, a conversion into 256-greyscale is possible... | May 22 22:02 |
| MinceR | (or maybe something like a z-buffer) | May 22 22:02 |
| activelow | meaning, there is absolutely no need for any higher color depth than 8bit per pixel | May 22 22:02 |
| MinceR | there is a need for it | May 22 22:03 |
| activelow | and this would be 3x or 4x as fast often | May 22 22:03 |
| MinceR | just generate a plain gradient from #000000 to #ffffff with a length of 1000 pixels and observe | May 22 22:03 |
| activelow | sure, although i am not looking at gradients, i am looking at photos | May 22 22:03 |
| activelow | and the problem isn't 16/24/32bit, problem is 8bit mode is missing | May 22 22:04 |
| MinceR | the gradients demonstrate that not every color you can distinguish can be represented in true color | May 22 22:04 |
| activelow | 8bit color palette has another benefit, which is i am using yaft+dvtm, and yaft allocates a separate pixel buffer | May 22 22:07 |
| activelow | which is 64MiB RAM with 32bit per pixel, with 16bit it is roughly 32MiB... and guess what, with 8bit a FullHD pixel buffer would require ~16MiB only | May 22 22:08 |
| activelow | visual quality is very good nonetheless, framebuffer requires 75% less memory bandwidth etc. | May 22 22:10 |
| activelow | i think the raspberry can provide 8bit framebuffer, the rockchip with mali graphics cannot, not yet, i'll see to if i can hack it into | May 22 22:11 |
| activelow | and then, see again, what ffmpeg-sixel or mplayer/sdl-sixel could do | May 22 22:12 |
| activelow | tmux is known to tweak scrolling and terminal line buffer, meaning if alot of data arrives lines could be skipped | May 22 22:13 |
| activelow | which is, a problematic design, and yaft/dvtm don't do this, gladly; already tweaked yaft to improve performance, which is with 16bit framebuffer and some other tweaks to buffer sizes it's 4x faster already | May 22 22:15 |
| activelow | yaft is neat, it extends linux (and too netbsd/openbsd/freebsd) console framebuffer, with extended unicode support and sixels | May 22 22:18 |
| activelow | i think, some yaft features could be moved into linux kernel, which would improve performance of it further | May 22 22:18 |
| activelow | besides X11/wayland the real alternative is... yaft+dvtm... which are almost ready for production use | May 22 22:21 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-baronhk.wordpress.com | The science says that ZeroWater is not worth the money or hype. Brita is among the best countertop models. – BaronHK's Rants | May 22 22:21 | |
| DaemonFC | "Amusingly, my mom bought a ZeroWater and ended up switching to Brita later when she complained about what it was costing her and asked what I recommended instead. | May 22 22:21 |
| DaemonFC | The stupid TDS meter was saying the filter was unacceptable about every 10 gallons or so, but that was if you could even get the ZeroWater to filter 10 gallons. More often, she had them plug up on her Indiana tap water and couldn’t even get half of the manufacturer’s stated life expectancy out of the filter. | May 22 22:21 |
| DaemonFC | At that point you’re paying between $1 and $1.50 per gallon of filtered water before the stupid ZeroWater is totally crapped up and useless. | May 22 22:21 |
| DaemonFC | This amounts to roughly 10 or 15 times the cost of Brita. | May 22 22:21 |
| DaemonFC | And when you consider that each person in your house uses about a gallon of water per day for drinking and cooking, you can see what the problem with that is. | May 22 22:21 |
| DaemonFC | All of a sudden, the Brita is costing you about $3 per person/per month, whereas the stupid ZeroWater system could cost you $45 per person/per month." | May 22 22:21 |
| DaemonFC | "So the price of the starter kit is the camel's nose in the tent, and the ZeroWater cartridges are the rest of the camel." | May 22 22:23 |

| DaemonFC | Yes, I froze about 200 and some pounds of chicken breasts and thighs. | May 22 23:21 |
| DaemonFC | By weight, that's the meat off of over 50 chickens. | May 22 23:21 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, The deep freeze gives me some more options. Like waiting for a quarter where grocery stores are 5% on the Capital One card and then quickly going over to Aldi or Jewel and buying up all of their store brand chicken instead of dealing with this Walmart bullshit where the only thing they stock anymore are the expensive chickens. | May 22 23:23 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | this month we saw whole chickens sold for one pound | May 22 23:25 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | that's like 1.2 dollars, I think | May 22 23:25 |
| DaemonFC | Walmart seems to have told their suppliers to stop giving them the chicken they normally sell for $2.69 and $2.99 a pound (thighs and breasts) and start only packaging the expensive national brands that cost $7-9 a pound instead. | May 22 23:26 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | these are things you can stuff in an oven | May 22 23:26 |
| DaemonFC | So if you get your chicken at Walmart, the implication is that it's going to be a major drag on your grocery bill. | May 22 23:26 |
| schestowitz_TR2 | so expiry date is not a big issue | May 22 23:26 |
| DaemonFC | Walmart has made sure that the people who suffer from the chicken shortage are the people who normally buy the store brand chicken because they need to save money. | May 22 23:27 |
