[07:35] DaemonFC Getting a waiver is a "big fucking deal". [07:35] DaemonFC It means that you don't have to spend ANOTHER 6-8 months waiting for an appointment.

[07:40] DaemonFC Then a few years after that, all the taxes go up again to pay the debt servicing costs.

[08:02] DaemonFC The market does come up with solutions. Some pharma jerk raises the price, compounding pharmacies work around him for a few bucks. [08:03] DaemonFC Walgreens and CVS are unreasonable? Mark Cuban starts a drug company. [08:04] DaemonFC You notice Walgreens and CVS are not looking so good lately? Profits down. Closing thousands of stores. Why is that? Is it because people like me went to fill a prescription there, got told it would be $180 and laughed and filled it for $20 at the grocery store? [08:05] DaemonFC The market punishes excessive greed eventually because a competitor will accept some profit to take the marketshare. [08:06] DaemonFC One reason rents are out of control is government interference. We have lots of empty office buildings and developers who want to convert them into apartments, while politicians sit on their asses letting rents go up instead of changing zoning laws. [08:07] DaemonFC Deregulation. One of the few good things that Jimmy Carter did, was deregulate the airline industry. [08:07] schestowitz[TR2] The market punishes excessive greed eventually because a competitor will accept some profit to take the marketshare. [08:07] schestowitz[TR2] no, [08:07] schestowitz[TR2] it becomes a trust [08:08] schestowitz[TR2] then you need antitrustr [08:08] DaemonFC You think being a little cramped on a flight is bad? The way things were regulated until the early 1980s, it would cost $700 or more to fly cross country. I can get tickets for $90 or $100 sometimes. [08:08] schestowitz[TR2] many companies can agreee to make laptops with components that snap after warranty lapses [08:08] schestowitz[TR2] so then MinceR needs to buy 20 laptops in 60 years [08:08] schestowitz[TR2] to get the same jobs done [08:09] DaemonFC Yeah, like the control key going out on this one. [08:09] schestowitz[TR2] yes [08:09] schestowitz[TR2] exactly [08:09] schestowitz[TR2] i use external keyboards for all the laaptops [08:09] schestowitz[TR2] rianne"s lkenovo laptop has bad key [08:09] *darwin (~darwin@7d3n498busjrn.irc) has joined #techrights [08:09] schestowitz[TR2] she did nothing to harm it [08:09] DaemonFC They all do. [08:09] schestowitz[TR2] i had to remap that key [08:09] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2]: I already took apart the other one and replaced the keyboard. [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] laptops are tricky [08:10] DaemonFC I bought a dead laptop with the same keyboard and took it apart. [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] and you need particular keyboard [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] better to get a usb one [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] but not good if you travel [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] then you have to carry a large keyboard [08:11] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2]: I might deploy Rocky 9.3 KDE on the other laptop. [08:11] DaemonFC Just for the hell of it. [08:11] DaemonFC I was happy with Scientific Linux 6. [08:11] DaemonFC They told everyone to use CentOS and then Red Hat attacked CentOS. [08:11] schestowitz[TR2] iirc, centos on desktop/laptop leads to regret [08:12] schestowitz[TR2] i never tried it [08:12] DaemonFC Took it over. Made it unusable. [08:12] schestowitz[TR2] some software will be missing [08:12] schestowitz[TR2] or hard to install [08:12] DaemonFC With EPEL and RPM Fusion it works fine. [08:12] DaemonFC OR at least SL 6 did. [08:12] DaemonFC Right, technically in Rocky, KDE is an add-on because RHEL doesn't have it. [08:13] DaemonFC Rocky adds it. I mean there's nothing technical that stops KDE from running. They just don't package it. [08:13] DaemonFC Red Hat has always hated and marginalized KDE. [08:13] DaemonFC Before KDE was in RHEL (part of it anyway), people ported it to RHEL with the KDE on Red Hat project. [08:14] DaemonFC It was based on Sourceforge!
