| IsambardPrince | A situation is brewing in Illinois involving the Trannies. | Oct 26 00:26 |
| IsambardPrince | A tranny got murdered back in 2018. | Oct 26 00:26 |
| IsambardPrince | The police tried to pin it on a guy they had no evidence against. | Oct 26 00:27 |
| IsambardPrince | The prosecutor ran with it and spent millions of taxpayer dollars on a sham trial they couldn't even win against a man who was utterly broke and represented by a public defender. | Oct 26 00:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Now the trannies are "marching to demand justice" whatever that means. | Oct 26 00:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Since the defendant was exonerated at his trial, the US Constitution says he shall not be placed in legal jeopardy again for the same accusation. | Oct 26 00:28 |
| IsambardPrince | So the Trannies have picked a new target. | Oct 26 00:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Now they say they want the police arrested for bungling the case. | Oct 26 00:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Actually, the way double jeopardy works under American law is that even if the guy did do it and admitted it, they couldn't try him again because they already took what they had to court, ran with it, and lost. | Oct 26 00:29 |
| IsambardPrince | So now the Trannies are looking for a new victim in a new legal drumhead. | Oct 26 00:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh, this is a different case. How much tranny shit is going on in Cook County anyway. | Oct 26 00:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Apparently this one was crazy and a cop shot him in an incident. | Oct 26 00:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, good luck with that one. | Oct 26 00:31 |
| IsambardPrince | When you run at a cop in a threatening manner armed with a weapon, your odds are not good. | Oct 26 00:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh, Lake County. | Oct 26 00:32 |
| IsambardPrince | God, Lake County is getting so bad it's like a second Cook County anyway. | Oct 26 00:32 |
| IsambardPrince | The budget is out of control because the Democrats took it over years ago and spent like crazy. | Oct 26 00:32 |
| IsambardPrince | I remember reading a couple years ago that they disbanded mosquito abatement districts and stopped spraying for diseased mosquitoes. | Oct 26 00:33 |
| IsambardPrince | But they left the tax district. | Oct 26 00:33 |
| IsambardPrince | So they're still taxing you to spray for mosquitoes, and then not spraying them. | Oct 26 00:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Then the Illinois DPH is wondering where all this Zika and West Nile and shit is coming from. | Oct 26 00:33 |
| IsambardPrince | They say they trap and monitor them and deal with breeding sites. | Oct 26 00:34 |
| IsambardPrince | When I was a kid, a truck would just come down the block fogging and they'd all die and there weren't any mosquitoes. | Oct 26 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | It came by about as often as the ice cream truck did. | Oct 26 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Which was quite often in the summer. | Oct 26 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Yep, Flintstones orange sherbet and then the mosquito fogger. | Oct 26 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | The 90s were great. | Oct 26 00:36 |
| MinceR | yes, but the miocene was even better | Oct 26 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | I think they don't fog for mosquitoes because people are pussies now. | Oct 26 00:37 |
| MinceR | no fucking devil apes anywhere, none of their noise, none of their pollution, none of their concrete, none of their microplastics, none of their authoritarianism | Oct 26 00:37 |
| MinceR | someone should fog for devil apes | Oct 26 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, You can produce as many condoms as you want, but it's basically reverse darwinism. | Oct 26 00:38 |
| MinceR | i didn't say produce condoms though | Oct 26 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | The people who still don't wear them are the ones having all the kids now. And they're not wearing them because they're not smart enough to wear them and they have no responsibilities because of the welfare and prison systems anyway. | Oct 26 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Why can't they just be normal like the rest of us. You know, unwrap the condom, put it on backwards in the dark, give up, curse, turn it around and unroll it. | Oct 26 00:39 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I don't fucking care what people think anymore. | Oct 26 00:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Random people anyway. | Oct 26 00:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I was at the pharmacy today, this is a good example. | Oct 26 00:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I bought a flu covid rsv test. | Oct 26 00:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Then I sat down at the vaccine waiting area and ran it. And this woman looks over at me while I'm swabbing my nose and realizes there's someone who wants to figure out what their respiratory problem is. | Oct 26 00:41 |
| IsambardPrince | And tells her kids "Come on, let's stand over there." | Oct 26 00:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Like I care where they stand. | Oct 26 00:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Don't watch your kids. Maybe it is COVID. | Oct 26 00:41 |

| IsambardPrince | Ah, the hidden room from the contest they didn't have. | Oct 26 02:37 |
| IsambardPrince | "Almost immediately after Wolfenstein 3D launched in May 1992, programmers created map editor utilities (like DEACK and MapEdit). Players didn't need to navigate the maze; they just opened the level files in a text editor or map extractor, read the sign off the raw texture assets, and began flooding Apogee's phone lines with calls shouting "AARDWOLF!"" | Oct 26 02:38 |
| IsambardPrince | ?Because map editors rendered the contest completely trivial within days of release, Apogee canceled the prize almost immediately. | Oct 26 02:39 |
| IsambardPrince | To deal with the mess, id Software patched the game. In later versions (v1.1 onward), they altered the level design to obscure the room and modified the wall sprite so that the text was scrambled into an unreadable, garbled mess of pixelsβleaving thousands of confused 90s gamers staring at a bizarre glitch graphic, wondering what secret it was supposed to hold." | Oct 26 02:39 |
| MinceR | :> | Oct 26 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Technically there was no contest. | Oct 26 02:41 |
| IsambardPrince | It was not published because they became aware that people were building map editors before the game was out of beta. | Oct 26 02:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Since it was never published there was no contest. | Oct 26 02:42 |
| IsambardPrince | They left it in the final game and ended up dealing with people calling them at all hours screaming AARDWOLF! | Oct 26 02:42 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Albany is at historic lows, and I personally believe people are simply fed up with the work environment and culture. It has become a place where the rich get richer, the same select group receives accolades they havenβt necessarily earned, and the majority see little to no legitimate path for career growth or advancement. Meanwhile, favorites continue to receive promotions, often backed by flimsy justifications that do little to | Oct 26 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | conceal the underlying favoritism. Frustration is reaching a boiling point, and everyoneβs bullsh-t meter is completely maxed out. And itβs exhausting. | Oct 26 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Also week after week, more people are leaving for better opportunities elsewhere. Attrition has to be at all time highs here.

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Bill Gates wrote "The Road Ahead" with barely a mention of the Internet or the Web. | Oct 26 18:48 |
| IsambardPrince | In 1994, anyone in his position should see that coming. | Oct 26 18:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Internet Explorer was a skunkworks project where they were literally working double shifts or some of them barely sleeping just to catch up to where Netscape Navigator was. | Oct 26 18:50 |
| MinceR | he's just another worthless ASPD enjoyer with NPD | Oct 26 18:53 |
| IsambardPrince | The first version of Internet Explorer didn't even support Tables. | Oct 26 18:55 |

| MinceR | microslop cultists push microslop crap even if it has no functionality whatsoever | Oct 26 18:55 |
| MinceR | like pluton | Oct 26 18:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Netscape 4.x wasn't horrible to try to use in the late 90s because enough people did use it that it had to work. | Oct 26 18:57 |
| IsambardPrince | But it had behaviors, especially CSS behaviors, which were massively unstable if you tried to do something it did not understand. | Oct 26 18:58 |
| IsambardPrince | As less people used it and more CSS level 1 features went into use, Netscape 4 started crashing a lot more. | Oct 26 18:58 |
| IsambardPrince | It had very poor CSS support. What had happened was, Netscape had a competing stylesheet format called JSSS for JavaScript Style Sheets. When it came close to release it became clear that JSSS was not going to be standardized so they threw together a translater that took the features of CSS 1 that could be translated to JSSS and wrote an interpreter. | Oct 26 19:00 |
| IsambardPrince | That's why if you turned off JavaScript you also lost CSS even though the two shouldn't have anything to do with one another, | Oct 26 19:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I wasn't very happy with Opera for proposing CSS. | Oct 26 19:02 |
| IsambardPrince | It's turned into a big disaster like everything else. | Oct 26 19:02 |
| IsambardPrince | It becomes about bloating styling instead of content. | Oct 26 19:02 |

| MinceR | plus they wouldn't even develop products that were obviously necessary | Oct 26 19:22 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The Trabant couldnn't have been THAT bad. | Oct 26 19:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Apple has issued an official statement following reports of inner display failures along the hinge of the newly released iPhone Duo: "The response to iPhone Duo from early users has been incredibly positive, and we are seeing exciting things from developers who are rapidly updating their apps to take advantage of its unique form factor.

| MinceR | the trabant was something like the second version, and it was that bad | Oct 26 19:24 |
| MinceR | it was a tiny alleged car that burned its lubricant as fuel and had no fuel gauge | Oct 26 19:24 |
| MinceR | built on technology that was already outdated when the communists started their empire | Oct 26 19:25 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, They're all cracking so in their acknowledgement of a $2000 phone that was obviously designed so wrong that it breaks within a day, Apple devotes 3/4ths of the confesssion to stating the response has been "overwhelmingly positive" and the issue happens on "a small number". Only Apple knows the exact figures so they'll never admit how many of these defective $2000 iPhones they have to replace. | Oct 26 19:25 |
| MinceR | well, of course it was overwhelmingly positive | Oct 26 19:26 |
| MinceR | it's a fucking cult | Oct 26 19:26 |
| MinceR | it's what they do | Oct 26 19:26 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I wrote that and added: | Oct 26 19:30 |
| IsambardPrince | This has got to be the worst cover-up since the Xbox 360 E74: Contact Microsoft Support. Red Ring of Death. | Oct 26 19:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Oct 26 19:30 | |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft replaced 8 Xbox 360s under that warranty for me alone. I eventually just sold it on Craigslist for whatever I could recoup before it broke down again. | Oct 26 19:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Oct 26 19:30 | |
| IsambardPrince | NYKO developed an add-on called the Intercooler 360. This caused a different failure for people who were trying to add sufficient cooling in that it "passed through" the power cable, and sometimes burned up and left scorch marks on the back of the console. Microsoft said that any evidence that you used that would immediately void the warranty. | Oct 26 19:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Oct 26 19:30 | |
| IsambardPrince | I joked that if they were replacing 8 consoles for me then the reason they had the "repair center" in McAllen, TX was so they could dig a hole on the Mexican side of the border and throw them all in the hole. Like what happened to ET: The Extraterrestrial for the Atari. | Oct 26 19:30 |
| MinceR | lol | Oct 26 19:31 |
| MinceR | and yet the suxbox also has a religious following | Oct 26 19:32 |
| IsambardPrince | That classic corporate PR spin never changes, does it? A $2,000 phone snaps down the middle after 24 hours of normal use, and the official press statement starts off soundly sounding like an award acceptance speech about "overwhelmingly positive responses" and "exciting developer engagement." Translating corporate-speak to plain English: "Yes, the screen breaks if you look at it wrong, but look at all these cool app layouts!" | Oct 26 19:32 |
| MinceR | lol | Oct 26 19:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh look at the time. I'm supposed to meet my partner at Sam's Club for a pizza. | Oct 26 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | I'd better get cracking. | Oct 26 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | No offense to Apple customers. | Oct 26 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | :D | Oct 26 19:34 |
| MinceR | :> | Oct 26 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I got banned from the Sillydog701 Netscape Archive forums years ago. | Oct 26 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | By Antony Shen. The site owner. | Oct 26 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Who replaced my user profile picture with "APPLE BASHER". | Oct 26 19:36 |
| IsambardPrince | The binaries that Netscape released on Linux used to make their way into most Linux distributions as the default web browser because there didn't exist anything that was more compatible with the Web at that point, sadly. | Oct 26 19:37 |
| MinceR | sounds like it was a crApple cultist forum | Oct 26 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Eh, he is. | Oct 26 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Anyway, there was DJGM, possibly the only person on the site that hated Internet Explorer more than I did. | Oct 26 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | My contributions were mostly ways to remove Internet Explorer from Windows. | Oct 26 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Anyway, in the early 2000s the Macs had the edge on performance, initially, but they partnered with IBM and were dependent on IBM to release newer, faster processors. | Oct 26 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, IBM didn't consider Apple important enough to design a better PowerPC processor that was also suitable to run on a laptop battery. | Oct 26 19:40 |
| IsambardPrince | So Apple never got a PPC processor it could use in a Macbook that was a suitable replacement for the G3. | Oct 26 19:40 |
| IsambardPrince | So they kept revisioning the Macbook and selling them at a huge price, but they did not get faster. This went on for years until it was so embarrassing that they were notably slower than any crappy PC laptop you could pick up at Walmart, for a quarter of the price, with Windows. | Oct 26 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Their switch to Intel wasn't because Intel CPUs were great, it's because the PPC G series that they had in the Macs were running into hard functional limitations that led to the Mac platform essentially being frozen in time for years while the PC continued to advance. | Oct 26 19:42 |
| MinceR | well, you can still buy a new POWER CPU, it just costs an infinite amount of money, is slow, and is sold by one of the least trustworthy corporations in the field | Oct 26 19:43 |
| IsambardPrince | I was openly joking about Apple being the only major computer vendor where you could buy the performance of four years ago at the price of a brand new machine. | Oct 26 19:43 |
| MinceR | non-dehomag corporations used to make them, but i guess demand dried up | Oct 26 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Linux does have a software system like "dmg" files on the Mac. It's called AppImage and almost nobody has ever used it because it's so terrible. | Oct 26 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | You have to keep applications updated yourself, by hand, by dragging the new one on top of the old one. | Oct 26 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Instead of letting a package manager handle it and shared reasources. | Oct 26 19:45 |
| MinceR | well, you could copy it next to the other one | Oct 26 19:45 |
| reap | i hope i get a new talos workstation with power10 | Oct 26 19:46 |
| MinceR | but if you need chrome-sandbox to work, you get to unpack the AppImage so you can set the setuid bit... | Oct 26 19:46 |

| IsambardPrince | Welcome to Apple. We put the dong in dongle. | Oct 26 19:48 |
| MinceR | lol | Oct 26 19:48 |
| reap | no POWER CPU is IBM | Oct 26 19:48 |
| reap | but it works | Oct 26 19:48 |
| MinceR | slowly | Oct 26 19:48 |
| MinceR | and does who knows what, given that it comes from no.1 microslop fan corporation | Oct 26 19:49 |
| IsambardPrince | And for just $29 we'll sell you the dongle for the dongle so you can connect that dong. | Oct 26 19:49 |
| MinceR | but hey, at least it costs a fuckton of money | Oct 26 19:49 |
| reap | ever tried to get firewire working on linux ? | Oct 26 19:49 |
| MinceR | no | Oct 26 19:49 |
| reap | past intel gen 12 cpu ? | Oct 26 19:49 |
| MinceR | i had some firewire ports but no firewire peripherals | Oct 26 19:49 |

| reap | FUCK THAT SHIT | Oct 26 19:52 |
| MinceR | yeah, i definitely want to get putler's and xi jinping's permission to do audio | Oct 26 19:52 |
| reap | I down have time for that and a realtime kernel | Oct 26 19:52 |
| MinceR | no thanks | Oct 26 19:52 |
| reap | just get a fucking apple and get things done | Oct 26 19:53 |
| MinceR | you're kidding, right? | Oct 26 19:53 |
| reap | i am getting old | Oct 26 19:53 |
| reap | Ardour or reaper is ok but the hole linux audio stuff is fucking crazy | Oct 26 19:55 |
| reap | yeah i used arch btw for over 12 years but i get tired | Oct 26 19:55 |
| reap | and fuck systemd | Oct 26 19:56 |

| nobody | and well, on linux-tcc/2.4 that's the native audio API anyway | Oct 26 21:26 |

| nobody | that's the irony, audio I/O can be used for software-modem amateur radio | Oct 26 21:29 |
| MinceR | general purpose computers can be used for all sorts of things the ASPD enjoyers don't want you to do | Oct 26 21:29 |
| nobody | direwolf can do it in userspace, and too linux-kernel had a few pieces implemented kernel-side for (A)X.25 | Oct 26 21:29 |
| MinceR | that's why they're trying to "lead" us into a future where we can't have access to them | Oct 26 21:29 |
| nobody | well, software-modem WiFi isn't blobbed, it is very-low data-rate (which could more or less easily be scaled up to arrive at UMTS speeds) | Oct 26 21:30 |
| nobody | at the lower OSI-layers (physical, link-layer) networking was never intended to be free/open | Oct 26 21:31 |
| nobody | nowadays industry doesn't want you to have some fast and simple framebuffer terminal _without_ proprietary GPU vendor-bloat and uefi-fb stack | Oct 26 21:32 |
| nobody | btw. on linux-tcc/2.4 framebuffer is a bit faster than on latest linux5 | Oct 26 21:33 |
| MinceR | only the framebuffer? | Oct 26 21:34 |
| nobody | maybe that's why i can have ffmpeg/mplayer on console still, _without_ any "acceleration" (except a little support from x86 FPU) | Oct 26 21:34 |
| nobody | for that matter some AMD bulldozer board can be had for $10 on ebay | Oct 26 21:36 |
| nobody | some lame quadcore cpu will account for another $10 | Oct 26 21:37 |
| nobody | no wonder industry doesn't show any interest, there's just no more $$$ to be had with this | Oct 26 21:37 |

| nobody | the biggest performance boost wasn't coming from kernel, it's compile-time performance with a C-only toolchain since i wiped all c++ remaining fully optional | Oct 26 21:52 |
| nobody | GNU/FSF made it very expensive and difficult to compile a complete *nix system from source nowadays | Oct 26 21:53 |
| nobody | lurking at the dependency graph, concerning c++, the major burden remains unicode font-rendering (for GTK/QT) | Oct 26 21:54 |
| nobody | GTK itself is written in C, but it needs c++ for unicode font rendering libraries | Oct 26 21:54 |
| nobody | and with it a 100 million lines of code pulled into just for that | Oct 26 21:54 |
| nobody | otherwise it is feasible to salvage Xorg/X11 and GTK even | Oct 26 21:55 |
| nobody | even a web-browser such as netsurf-gtk is possible | Oct 26 21:55 |
| nobody | but i couldn't have done it all alone, given i've had to fork kernel, libc, and entire userspace with hundreds of patches and hacks for c-toolchain portability | Oct 26 21:56 |
| nobody | in the end there's just too many interdependent issues, even when c++ remained optional | Oct 26 21:57 |
| nobody | as soon as you wished some foss Gimp or LibreOffice on board the whole thing blows up beyond good and evil in size and complexity | Oct 26 21:57 |
| nobody | which isn't an argument against such, but an argument for retaining a long-term stable portable base-system and C++ wiped there to keep that optional | Oct 26 21:58 |
| nobody | interestingly bootstrappable.org forked gcc-4.6 even, with some experimental support for RISC-V backported (somewhere on github) | Oct 26 22:05 |
| nobody | which is a decent choice, although i think FOSS is missing some fast/efficient single-pass compiler/C-toolchain | Oct 26 22:06 |
| nobody | so free C-software development can be done fast and efficient, including the compiler bootstrapped from source in a few minutes | Oct 26 22:06 |
| nobody | interestingly GCC info pages documentation mentioned this shortcoming for decades themselves | Oct 26 22:07 |
| nobody | software-development had been just too fast-paced ever since, to outcompete with c++ monstrosities | Oct 26 22:08 |
| nobody | against IBM/MICROS~1 | Oct 26 22:09 |
| nobody | while i think the real strength of free software always had been fast and efficient systems | Oct 26 22:09 |
| nobody | which was sacrificed to keep up with the pace dictated by the industry | Oct 26 22:10 |
| nobody | finally entire tech-sector severly regresses for two decades at least, to arrive at back somewhere which already existed more than 20years ago | Oct 26 22:11 |
