IsambardPrinceMinceR, I'm playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City in Chrome.Mar 28 00:07
IsambardPrinceIt got to the point where you pull up in a boat and it says "Kill the Haitians."Mar 28 00:07
IsambardPrinceI said, "I'd prefer it said the Cubans, but whatever."Mar 28 00:08
IsambardPrinceThe people who deserve to be deported are the Cubans.Mar 28 00:08
MinceR:>Mar 28 00:08
IsambardPrinceWorst immigrants we ever got. Cuba got rid of their worst and sent them to Florida in the 1980s to basically fuck our country up.Mar 28 00:08
IsambardPrinceCrime shot up like 500% in most of the areas they resettled and they immediately started voting for the Republican Party.Mar 28 00:09
IsambardPrinceMiami wasn't a terribly violent major city until the Cubans came in the Mariel Boatlift.Mar 28 00:10
IsambardPrinceThen it had gangs and a huge cocaine trafficking problem.Mar 28 00:10
IsambardPrinceI'd say about 50-60% of the Cubans that came here were uniquely horrible people.Mar 28 00:10
IsambardPrinceWorst immigrants we ever got, from anywhere.Mar 28 00:10

IsambardPrinceMinceR, Some lady on Facebook complained that she pays a fee to TSA when she buys a plane ticket, so why aren't they funded.Mar 28 00:18
IsambardPrinceI said because it's $5.60 per ticket and hasn't gone up since 9/11 and is 4% of their cost of screening a passenger. So it should go up, massively, then they reopen as a fee-funded agency and she doesn't have to wait for security.Mar 28 00:19
IsambardPrinceMinceR, The news reported that the Iranians did a missile strike on a US base and damaged a bunch of aircraft and injured 10 US soldiers.Mar 28 00:23
IsambardPrinceI replied, "FAFO. That's f**k around and Fateh out."Mar 28 00:24

IsambardPrinceMinceR, Not sure if Burger King made a mistake in their app.Mar 28 01:20
IsambardPrinceI noticed it's the same price for EXTRA bacon and EXTRA cheese on a Whopper at that one near my house.Mar 28 01:20
IsambardPrinceSo you can get 6 pieces of bacon and 2 slices of cheese for the same price as three strips and one slice.Mar 28 01:20
IsambardPrinceAlso, I ran into an unusually dedicated employee there today. I asked for no salt on my fries and after clearing out the fry vat, he wiped it down with napkins and then wiped down the fry scoop.Mar 28 01:21
IsambardPrinceNormally fast food fries are so oversalted that if you ask for no salt, they pick up so much from the vat that they're about as salty as a normal person would make them anyway.Mar 28 01:22
MinceRdunno, i've found that my King's Great Gochu was nice with +1 baconMar 28 01:23

schestowitz[TR3]During the 4Q Earnings call on January 28, 2026, the company indicated there would be layoffs in 2026 at levels similar to 2025. The words they used were:Mar 28 05:33
schestowitz[TR3]“For operating pretax margin, we expect about 100 basis points of expansion with workforce rebalancing fairly consistent with the prior year.”Mar 28 05:33
schestowitz[TR3]FYI: “Workforce rebalancing charges” means restructuring costs tied to headcount actions: severance, role eliminations, org redesign etc."Mar 28 05:33

lxo*nod*.  I've been running a series in my blog about ECA!Digital in Brazil, in pt_BR.  we got the worst of both worlds: our legislators combined both competing proposals in the US, taking them as "best practices" or something :-(Mar 28 06:22

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-blog.lx.oliva.nom.br | pages tagged ECA-DigitalMar 28 06:24
lxoI've argued that I'm now an outlaw belonging to 3 criminal organizations that promote software freedom; that the letter of the law considers web sites offering javascript as app stores (of the WWWorst kind) so browsers must disable javascript by default for minors; that the requirements for parental authorization for app installation and communication empower abusers, making life worse for parents and children that had choices for parental supervision Mar 28 06:27
lxotools, and no different for most parents who have no clue about how to tutor their children online; ...Mar 28 06:27
lxo... that the issue is not with GNU/Linux but with software freedom; that these provisions will make life hell for emancipated minors because the law mandates age checking and prohibits the use of more identity information, but such minors won't have a tutor to authorize installation of now-mandatory apps, javascrippled websites, communications and whatnot; that despite claims to the contrary, the law mandates identification of everyone because children Mar 28 06:30
lxoand their parents must be identified for parental supervision, and everyone that communicates with the children must be identified for parent's to authorize, and since wikipedia has talk pages that allow communication without identification or parental supervision, and wikipedia won't change, brazil will have to block wikipediaMar 28 06:30
lxoI'm now working on a blog post that calls out the 'worst of both worlds' aspect mentioned above.  the king is naked, and he's molesting our children and everyone elseMar 28 06:32
lxoalas, I don't feel that my campaign is getting much traction.  a lot of "linux" people are claiming there's no problem because distros will implement it (with nonfree software), or that they don't target children so they're fine.  they mistake 'free software' for 'linux', that isn't even free softwareMar 28 06:34

schestowitz[TR3]IsambardPrince: Goblin is backMar 28 20:35
IsambardPrinceThat's nice.Mar 28 20:36
IsambardPrinceI'm downloading the beta of Kubuntu 26.04.Mar 28 20:36
IsambardPrinceI've determined that Canonical's patch to disable the Intel GPU security mitigations is something I probably need.Mar 28 20:36
IsambardPrinceToo big for my 4 GB flash drive that I've been using for Linux ISOs since 2011.Mar 28 20:38
IsambardPrinceLOLMar 28 20:38
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR3], The 2016 Lenovo still works well. It works better with Intel mitigations off.Mar 28 20:38
IsambardPrinceIn some places, those mitigations bring performance down by 20-30%.Mar 28 20:39
IsambardPrinceThey're very bad, especially on an older laptop.Mar 28 20:39
IsambardPrinceA newer CPU might be able to take the hit and power through anyway.Mar 28 20:39
IsambardPrinceBut a ten year old CPU just can't handle it without visible jank.Mar 28 20:40
IsambardPrinceThere's all sorts of theories and accusations that Intel knowingly designed its chips this way.Mar 28 20:40
IsambardPrincePromoted benchmarks.Mar 28 20:40
IsambardPrinceThen "fixed it".Mar 28 20:40
IsambardPrinceIntel layoffs have pretty much wiped out their Linux people.Mar 28 20:42
IsambardPrinceThe Open Source Technology Center.Mar 28 20:42
IsambardPrinceThey abandoned Clear Linux entirely.Mar 28 20:42
IsambardPrinceThere wasn't anyone left to maintain it.Mar 28 20:42
IsambardPrinceThe company is in distress. Trump stepped in to bail them out with tax money.Mar 28 20:43
IsambardPrinceWhen the obvious solution was to switch government contracts to AMD.Mar 28 20:43
IsambardPrinceI wonder how much of that investment managed to find its way back into Trump's bank accounts.Mar 28 20:43
IsambardPrinceI'll either switch to AMD or ARM eventually.Mar 28 20:46
IsambardPrinceIntel stuff has been on a fire sale in the last few years.Mar 28 20:46
IsambardPrinceWhich is why I still have Intel.Mar 28 20:46

IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR3], It doesn't seem like that long ago that they abandoned trying to fit on a CD-R.Mar 28 20:49
IsambardPrinceNow these images wouldn't even fit on a single layer DVD.Mar 28 20:50
IsambardPrinceI remember when a DVD was what you'd use when you wanted the traditional installer that included everything you might possibly want to install.Mar 28 21:03

IsambardPrinceNow it can't hold just the KDE live image.Mar 28 21:03
schestowitz[TR3]why?Mar 28 21:03
IsambardPrinceBloat.Mar 28 21:11
IsambardPrinceSevere unmitigated bloat.Mar 28 21:11
IsambardPrinceThe ISO is 4.8 GB now.Mar 28 21:11
IsambardPrinceWhich is I believe just a few GB shy of the Windows 11 installer.Mar 28 21:12
IsambardPrinceWindows 11 should barely just fit on an 8 GB flash drive.Mar 28 21:12
IsambardPrinceBut once it expands onto the storage, it consumes over 80 GB I think.Mar 28 21:12
IsambardPrinceI think those big compression ratios are partly because so much of the bloat is barely different dlls and stuff that all have to be there for SOME program to run.Mar 28 21:13

IsambardPrinceThe correct solution to not enough RAM would be to have developers write programs that use less RAM.Mar 28 21:33
IsambardPrinceBut since most of the software developers floating around these days could be called incompetent if you were giving them high praise, fat chance.Mar 28 21:33
IsambardPrinceSame goes with "not enough storage".Mar 28 21:34
IsambardPrinceKDE is fairly big, but GNOME is horrible. Just absolutely horrible.Mar 28 21:34
IsambardPrinceIt seems like over time the memory leaks just get worse and their solution is to run garbage collection more frequently because they don't know how to actually fix the problem.Mar 28 21:34
IsambardPrinceAnd it does not appear that they're even considering using the JavaScript engine from Webkit which is already installed anyway because of WebkitGTK to run the shell.Mar 28 21:35
IsambardPrinceThere's too much stuff they've already written that depends specifically on quirks in Mozilla's javascript engine.Mar 28 21:35
IsambardPrinceThe javascript engine in Webkit is much faster.Mar 28 21:36
IsambardPrinceThe way Firefox and Mozilla are heading there might not even be an upstream eventually.Mar 28 21:37
IsambardPrinceAnd then GNOME will have a pile of Shell code that depends on a defunct engine with no upstream support.Mar 28 21:37
IsambardPrinceI'm like 80% sure that this will happen within the next 5 years.Mar 28 21:37
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR3], I have Kubuntu 26.04 Beta up and running on the 2016 Lenovo now.Mar 28 21:39
IsambardPrinceKDE Neon was forcing me to use or write too many hacks to get things installed or working.Mar 28 21:39
