| schestowitz | hey DaemonFC | Dec 21 20:20 |
| schestowitz | are you on kde, still? | Dec 21 20:20 |
| schestowitz | I got some powwow to have w/ you | Dec 21 20:20 |
| DaemonFC | yeah | Dec 21 20:20 |
| schestowitz | I kde 4.5 it comes withn globe | Dec 21 20:20 |
| schestowitz | and with weather | Dec 21 20:20 |
| schestowitz | where i assume wallpaper is chosen based on local weather | Dec 21 20:21 |
| schestowitz | but today I found a clock wallpaper | Dec 21 20:21 |
| schestowitz | among the plasmoids | Dec 21 20:21 |
| schestowitz | which would possibly help address the needs of _goblin | Dec 21 20:21 |
| schestowitz | and then I went through tons of plasmoids, didn't realise how useful some were... back when I checked them years ago it was tepid | Dec 21 20:21 |
| _goblin | I sorted that one out a while ago! | Dec 21 20:22 |
| _goblin | now I know its ok | Dec 21 20:22 |
| _goblin | its just knowing | Dec 21 20:22 |
| schestowitz | plasmoids are easily installable | Dec 21 20:22 |
| _goblin | btw that reminds me | Dec 21 20:22 |
| schestowitz | easier than with proprietary OSes, same for adding wallpapers, plasma themes, etc. | Dec 21 20:23 |
| _goblin | why cant you just right click on the desktop to change the wallpaper...? | Dec 21 20:23 |
| schestowitz | in kde 3 it was not easy | Dec 21 20:23 |
| schestowitz | I remember spending hours trying to install superkaramba in SUSE 9.x around 2005 or 06 | Dec 21 20:23 |
| _goblin | every other desktop/os Ive used offers that facility.....not the kde desktop top | Dec 21 20:23 |
| schestowitz | _goblin: you can | Dec 21 20:23 |
| _goblin | its like a point and click adventure game to find the feature | Dec 21 20:23 |
| schestowitz | right click, then clock the change wallpaper thing | Dec 21 20:23 |
| _goblin | not with defaults | Dec 21 20:24 |
| DaemonFC | Superkaramba liked to crash a lot even after you managed to wedge it in | Dec 21 20:24 |
| schestowitz | "Next Wallpaper Image:" | Dec 21 20:24 |
| DaemonFC | at least in my case | Dec 21 20:24 |
| schestowitz | [if you have multiple] | Dec 21 20:24 |
| schestowitz | gfor me they change every 20 seconds on each screen separately | Dec 21 20:24 |
| _goblin | nope..... not in my kde release | Dec 21 20:24 |
| schestowitz | _goblin: the option is at the bottom of the context menu, you can't miss it | Dec 21 20:24 |

| DaemonFC | you mean under desktop settings? :) | Dec 21 20:25 |
| _goblin | I'll double check now...I'll run upstairs... | Dec 21 20:25 |
| _goblin | I'm 100% sure though | Dec 21 20:25 |
| _goblin | stand by | Dec 21 20:25 |
| schestowitz | Right-click desktop -> Next Wallpaper Image | Dec 21 20:25 |
| schestowitz | It's not complicated at all -- and cannot be achieved in Win32 by defauly | Dec 21 20:26 |
| _goblin | nope | Dec 21 20:26 |
| _goblin | last option is | Dec 21 20:26 |
| schestowitz | Make sure you have wallpaper slideshow | Dec 21 20:26 |
| _goblin | folder view settings | Dec 21 20:26 |
| schestowitz | otherwise it won't know where to draw a pic from | Dec 21 20:26 |
| schestowitz | oh wait | Dec 21 20:26 |
| schestowitz | you use pclos | Dec 21 20:26 |
| schestowitz | I think they use that kde3-style desktop by default | Dec 21 20:26 |
| _goblin | all the other items are either clipboard related or to do with unlocking widgets | Dec 21 20:27 |
| schestowitz | so you hover over non-empty desktop space | Dec 21 20:27 |
| schestowitz | for my dad it's set like this | Dec 21 20:27 |
| _goblin | its ok...i know how to do it.... | Dec 21 20:27 |
| _goblin | go to activites... | Dec 21 20:27 |
| _goblin | go to unlock widgets | Dec 21 20:27 |
| _goblin | go to one of the menus there (which has nothing to do with wallpaper) | Dec 21 20:27 |
| _goblin | then I can find it | Dec 21 20:27 |
| _goblin | not sure I want a rotating wallpaper though | Dec 21 20:28 |
| schestowitz | _goblin: maybe you would like to do what I do for fun... and toss all personal and other photos in one parent directory, then set that on random | Dec 21 20:28 |
| _goblin | sounds rather a waste of cpu cycles when most of my apps run maximised and I very rarely climse the wallpaper | Dec 21 20:28 |
| schestowitz | oh, your widgets were locked.. | Dec 21 20:28 |
| _goblin | glimse | Dec 21 20:28 |
| schestowitz | it doesn't spend much cpu time | Dec 21 20:28 |
| schestowitz | not if you change every, say, 5 minutes | Dec 21 20:29 |
| schestowitz | maybe needs half a second of cpu... once in 300 seconds | Dec 21 20:29 |
| _goblin | since I only really see the wallpaper on boot-up.....its still a waste for it to be dithering around in the background no matter how little resources it takes | Dec 21 20:29 |
| schestowitz | and on round robin scheduler it will scale ok and not interfere too much with other processes | Dec 21 20:29 |
| schestowitz | _goblin: set windows to transluent, not entirely | Dec 21 20:30 |
| schestowitz | I had to do that for the reason you mentioned and you can animate translucency levels | Dec 21 20:31 |
| _goblin | I find it funny when people make the terminal transparent..... I think its a sign of leetness you know! :) | Dec 21 20:31 |
| _goblin | personally I like it now green on black.... | Dec 21 20:32 |
| _goblin | traditional....simple.... | Dec 21 20:32 |
| _goblin | and probably boring | Dec 21 20:32 |
| schestowitz | occasionally I run killall plasma-desktop krunner kmix kxkb klauncher klipper && plasma-desktop && krunner && kmix && klipper && kxkb && ~/getswap-sorted.sh | Dec 21 20:32 |
| schestowitz | to take soem processes off the swap | Dec 21 20:32 |
| schestowitz | and reduce disk access | Dec 21 20:32 |
| schestowitz | yeah, terminals are otherwise ugly | Dec 21 20:33 |
| schestowitz | you need to add some background to them | Dec 21 20:33 |
| schestowitz | them can uglify the desktop otherwise | Dec 21 20:33 |
| schestowitz | the fonts are now antialiased in many of them like konsole and xterm | Dec 21 20:33 |

| schestowitz | long before the Romans | Dec 21 21:44 |
| DaemonFC | When I worked at Walmart, the store manager happened to be a Catholic and put up a big picture of John Paul II in the manager's office after he died | Dec 21 21:44 |
| DaemonFC | I called the corporate hotline about that and they made her take it down | Dec 21 21:45 |
| schestowitz | he didn't die | Dec 21 21:45 |
| MinceR | even nowadays the winter solstice drifts a bit | Dec 21 21:45 |
| schestowitz | he passed away | Dec 21 21:45 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: is there a tilt so significant? | Dec 21 21:46 |
| MinceR | dunno | Dec 21 21:46 |
| schestowitz | I think the polar tilt has a cycle of like 2100 years | Dec 21 21:46 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: I can't wait for it to be in the middle of July | Dec 21 21:46 |
| DaemonFC | how about you? :) | Dec 21 21:46 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC: they'd probably adjust the calendar before it could get too far | Dec 21 21:46 |
| schestowitz | it's like the Earth is revolving in a small angle that take thousands of years to complete a helix-type thing, which climate scientists take account of | Dec 21 21:47 |
| DaemonFC | Do we get it named after the person who made the calendar this time or the Catholic pope at the time? | Dec 21 21:47 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Dec 21 21:47 |
| schestowitz | the thing about zodiac signs (among many) is that they are utterly flawed because you don't compare like with like... the dates get shifted all the time and don't keeo in sync with Gregorian calendars at all | Dec 21 21:48 |
| schestowitz | At some stage a Sagittarius like me won't even have that constellation visible at all | Dec 21 21:48 |
| schestowitz | hey, DaemonFC, wotz yo sign? | Dec 21 21:49 |
| DaemonFC | Aries | Dec 21 21:49 |
| schestowitz | You'd do well with dawn | Dec 21 21:49 |
| DaemonFC | oh hell no | Dec 21 21:49 |
| schestowitz | She's compatible with ALL star signs | Dec 21 21:49 |
| schestowitz | She's a skank | Dec 21 21:49 |
| DaemonFC | oh hell to the no | Dec 21 21:49 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Dec 21 21:49 |
| schestowitz | :D | Dec 21 21:49 |
| DaemonFC | they don't make water hot enough to wash her off of you | Dec 21 21:50 |
| MinceR | i haven't heard of this star sign called Skank... :> | Dec 21 21:50 |
| schestowitz | it exists | Dec 21 21:50 |
| schestowitz | take some stars | Dec 21 21:50 |
| schestowitz | or dots | Dec 21 21:50 |
| schestowitz | connect them to make what you want | Dec 21 21:50 |
| schestowitz | make it SFW pls | Dec 21 21:51 |
| schestowitz | with so many dots you could draw just about anything | Dec 21 21:51 |
| MinceR | :> | Dec 21 21:51 |
| DaemonFC | Oh look, there's the constellation FSM | Dec 21 21:51 |
| DaemonFC | and the Rather Phallic Nebula | Dec 21 21:51 |
| DaemonFC | B-) | Dec 21 21:51 |
| schestowitz | Tux constellation | Dec 21 21:51 |
| schestowitz | <oh, kde has a plasmoid that render and animates the solar system based on current time and date | Dec 21 21:52 |
| schestowitz | but the graphics are a tad coarse, I removed it | Dec 21 21:52 |
| DaemonFC | the reason "constellations" have "shapes" that resemble things we are familiar with is the same reason there is a "face" on Mars | Dec 21 21:52 |
| schestowitz | Our brains are wired for this pattern recognition | Dec 21 21:53 |
| DaemonFC | right | Dec 21 21:53 |
| schestowitz | and we even find wierd stuff like men on top of horse's bosy | Dec 21 21:53 |
| schestowitz | *body | Dec 21 21:53 |

| schestowitz | was that the word? | Dec 21 21:53 |
| schestowitz | show me 100 rocks 10^30 bigger than me and I'll call them "ants" :-) | Dec 21 21:54 |
| MinceR | a man on top of a horse's body? that isn't so weird | Dec 21 21:55 |
| MinceR | it's called a "rider" ;) | Dec 21 21:55 |
| DaemonFC | I found a metal rod in the neighbor's yard with a flat end on one side and repurposed it to mash down garbage to get it to all fit in the new government-issued trash bins | Dec 21 21:55 |
| DaemonFC | then I get a letter from the city that the garbage trucks have a hard time getting the trash to fall out of my bin | Dec 21 21:56 |
| DaemonFC | lol | Dec 21 21:56 |
| DaemonFC | that's their problem | Dec 21 21:56 |
| DaemonFC | the rules clearly state that if it fits in there and the lid closes, they have to take it | Dec 21 21:56 |
| MinceR | :> | Dec 21 21:56 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: in folklore they make up things weirder than pink unicorns | Dec 21 22:02 |
| schestowitz | and then they say things like, "you believe in Santa, living Elvis, and pink unicorns? LOL, that's is preposterous. Now, if you'llexcuse me, there's a prayer meeting for my invisible dad" | Dec 21 22:03 |
| schestowitz | did you hear about the new paper estimating that within a few weeks 14k USians died from fllout of Fukushima? | Dec 21 22:04 |

| MinceR | i haven't | Dec 21 22:04 |

| DaemonFC | B-) | Dec 21 22:05 |
| schestowitz | "If I cannot see radiation, I don't worry about it. I believe only what I see, with the exception of deities :-)" | Dec 21 22:05 |

| schestowitz | "And if I get cancer... I will follow the footsteps of deity jobs and just eat berries and mediate... and hope that will make the tumours go away" | Dec 21 22:06 |
| MinceR | (and m$ loses) | Dec 21 22:06 |
| MinceR | (and the users win) | Dec 21 22:06 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: they have nothjing new to show | Dec 21 22:07 |
| schestowitz | CES will be full of Android gadgets | Dec 21 22:07 |
| MinceR | schestowitz: did they ever? | Dec 21 22:07 |
| schestowitz | it'll be embarrassing for the shy sweaty one to huddle there. | Dec 21 22:07 |
| MinceR | "look at the new Windows version, same as the previous, except with a new skin and a few GUI gimmicks!" | Dec 21 22:07 |
| MinceR | "look at the new Office version, same as the previous, except with a new skin and a few GUI gimmicks!" | Dec 21 22:07 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: yes, they used to... Zune and KIN and stuff | Dec 21 22:07 |
| schestowitz | Now they really have nothing | Dec 21 22:07 |
| schestowitz | Not just "nothing of value" | Dec 21 22:08 |
| MinceR | :> | Dec 21 22:08 |
| schestowitz | now you can type docs on white a4 papers.. with BLUE background | Dec 21 22:08 |
| schestowitz | Cause THAT'S what it'll look like when you print it !! | Dec 21 22:08 |
| MinceR | and hunt toolbar buttons in the ribbon for minutes | Dec 21 22:08 |
| schestowitz | Office 16... now with animated backgrounds | Dec 21 22:09 |
| MinceR | now you're just assuming that you will really manage to print it :> | Dec 21 22:10 |
| DaemonFC | Now with 4D ray traced menus | Dec 21 22:14 |

| schestowitz | DaemonFC: more is less? | Dec 21 22:15 |
| schestowitz | more is more expensive | Dec 21 22:15 |
| schestowitz | less productive | Dec 21 22:15 |
| schestowitz | more confusing | Dec 21 22:15 |
| schestowitz | more bloated | Dec 21 22:15 |
| schestowitz | their business model relies on selling the same tool over and over again | Dec 21 22:15 |

| cubezzz | I think I'll just use my old dot matrix printer with CP/M and 64K :) | Dec 21 22:16 |
| cubezzz | ok, maybe not CP/M | Dec 21 22:17 |
| cubezzz | All operating systems are kind of bloated though | Dec 21 22:19 |
| schestowitz | if all things are relative, that's not so possible | Dec 21 22:20 |
| cubezzz | eventually one upgrades, but the upgrade cycle is ridiculously short now | Dec 21 22:22 |
| DaemonFC | http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/1695/snapshot7d.png | Dec 21 22:22 |

| cubezzz | and it seems motherboards have less and less expansion slots | Dec 21 22:22 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: there is a plasmoid you can use to upload screenshots like this | Dec 21 22:23 |
| cubezzz | and there's a general move to more commodity style computers... | Dec 21 22:23 |
| schestowitz | or any file | Dec 21 22:23 |
| schestowitz | I found it toda | Dec 21 22:23 |

| DaemonFC | Kubuntu has a plasma applet to enable the global menu | Dec 21 22:24 |
| MinceR | more stuff can be done over standard connectors like USB2 and USB3 | Dec 21 22:24 |
| MinceR | so there's less need for expansion slots | Dec 21 22:24 |
| MinceR | also, those peripherals work with mobile devices | Dec 21 22:24 |
| DaemonFC | the difference is that Kubuntu doesn't hide it from you even though your top panel might have tons of available space | Dec 21 22:24 |
| MinceR | my laptops have ExpressCard slots (except for the netbook), so i don't worry about high-performance ports either :> | Dec 21 22:25 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Dec 21 22:26 | |
| MinceR | DaemonFC: ew, no antialiasing | Dec 21 22:26 |
| cubezzz | MinceR, do you ready want all your peripherals to be external to the computer? | Dec 21 22:26 |
| cubezzz | really | Dec 21 22:26 |
| MinceR | usually i prefer them to be external | Dec 21 22:26 |
| MinceR | and hotpluggable | Dec 21 22:26 |
| MinceR | and isolated from the system bus to some extent | Dec 21 22:26 |
| MinceR | so they can break less stuff and i can move them from one computer to the other | Dec 21 22:27 |
| schestowitz | DrPizza: install KFaenza icons theme | Dec 21 22:27 |
| MinceR | and so they work with laptops (and in the future, the smartphone and "internet tablet" i'm looking at) | Dec 21 22:27 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC left :> | Dec 21 22:27 |
| cubezzz | MinceR, counterexample... | Dec 21 22:27 |
| schestowitz | It's like the one Mint 10 uses, I think | Dec 21 22:28 |
| cubezzz | the ethernet card is built in, the sound card is built-in, you can't replace those parts without replacing the entire motherboard | Dec 21 22:28 |
| MinceR | yes | Dec 21 22:28 |
| MinceR | but i'm doing fine with the built-in ones | Dec 21 22:28 |
| cubezzz | you end up with a less repairable machine | Dec 21 22:28 |
| MinceR | laptops tend to be less repairable anyway | Dec 21 22:28 |
| MinceR | and the examples you've cited are much cheaper to build integrated | Dec 21 22:29 |
| cubezzz | generally speaking the 80's era stuff was easy to fix | Dec 21 22:30 |
| cubezzz | but laptops, yes that's different | Dec 21 22:30 |
| MinceR | if i wanted to, i could buy a USB or IEEE 1394 audio device, but i never felt the need | Dec 21 22:30 |
| cubezzz | external devices might be better with RF interference | Dec 21 22:31 |
| MinceR | i can't hear the difference between the Intel/Realtek HDA and the AudioTrak Prodigy 7.1 HiFi anyway :> | Dec 21 22:31 |
| cubezzz | better shielded, maybe | Dec 21 22:31 |
| MinceR | (except that the latter is fed with noise from the dead tv tuner unless i disable that input...) | Dec 21 22:31 |
| MinceR | yes, it could help with an audio device | Dec 21 22:31 |
| cubezzz | I'm probably the only one here who still uses 80's era stuff | Dec 21 22:32 |
| MinceR | though it would probably be better to just use an external DAC connected with a TOSLink cable | Dec 21 22:32 |
| cubezzz | MinceR, the Altair 8800 can play AM radio :) | Dec 21 22:32 |
| MinceR | not that my integrated audio devices have TOSLink outputs... | Dec 21 22:32 |
| cubezzz | no RF shielding at all | Dec 21 22:32 |
| MinceR | my cell phone can play FM radio :> | Dec 21 22:33 |
| MinceR | not that it matters | Dec 21 22:33 |
| cubezzz | your cell phone is receiving VF radio signals? | Dec 21 22:33 |
| MinceR | the nazis killed (or are in the process of killing) every single station i liked listening to | Dec 21 22:33 |
| cubezzz | or just internet radio? | Dec 21 22:33 |
| MinceR | it can receive terrestrial radio broadcast | Dec 21 22:33 |
| cubezzz | oh interesting | Dec 21 22:34 |
| MinceR | interestingly enough, it's the music radio stations that they killed first | Dec 21 22:34 |
| MinceR | and now they're killing the only talk radio station that they did not control | Dec 21 22:34 |
| cubezzz | you still can use HAM radio MinceR :) | Dec 21 22:35 |
| MinceR | well, FM radio receiving is a common feature in smartphones still | Dec 21 22:35 |
| MinceR | or i can just move to Canada or New Zealand | Dec 21 22:35 |
| MinceR | and let the hungarians kill each other | Dec 21 22:35 |
| MinceR | if that's what they want, who am i to interfere? | Dec 21 22:35 |
| cubezzz | I can get some radio from my UHF tower, but it's not as good as the old VF antenna | Dec 21 22:35 |
| cubezzz | I thought Hungary would be more progressive | Dec 21 22:37 |
| MinceR | in what way? | Dec 21 22:37 |
| cubezzz | moving away from Communist to Democracy | Dec 21 22:38 |
| cubezzz | and there's lots of smart Hungarians | Dec 21 22:38 |
| MinceR | well, we did, it did last for 20 years | Dec 21 22:38 |
| MinceR | except that they were all made of commies left over from the previous dictatorship | Dec 21 22:39 |
| *__Goblin is now known as _Goblin | Dec 21 22:39 | |
| MinceR | then on the last big election fidesz/kdnp (still mostly leftover commies) gained 2/3 of the seats in the parliament | Dec 21 22:39 |
| *ChanServ gives channel operator status to _Goblin | Dec 21 22:39 | |
| MinceR | if the zombies wanted to avoid this, they could have, by voting the other way in the 2nd round of elections | Dec 21 22:40 |
| MinceR | they did not | Dec 21 22:40 |
| MinceR | and fidesz/kdnp took advantage of the legal opportunity to destroy democracy | Dec 21 22:40 |
| MinceR | and the zombies didn't complain much | Dec 21 22:40 |
| MinceR | in the last midterm election, the fidesz/kdnp candidate got over 58% of the votes | Dec 21 22:40 |
| MinceR | so you can see that the voters are OK with dictatorship and a methodical destruction of the economy | Dec 21 22:41 |
| MinceR | i've lost all my faith in the people who live here | Dec 21 22:41 |
| cubezzz | and they mostly use windows too :) | Dec 21 22:41 |
| MinceR | in 2006, when a recording where the prime minister said he lied to win the election was leaked, there were massive riots and arson | Dec 21 22:41 |
| MinceR | now there were minimal protests | Dec 21 22:42 |
| cubezzz | oh well, the Canadian Government isn't too good on that score either | Dec 21 22:42 |
| MinceR | even after the cable where orban told diplomats _prior to the election_ that he was going to lie to get elected | Dec 21 22:42 |
| MinceR | so hungarian voters in general can go fuck themselves, this is their doing | Dec 21 22:42 |
| MinceR | and this is the reason they'll die of famine or disease or be eaten by the gypsies who remain | Dec 21 22:42 |
| MinceR | i don't care | Dec 21 22:42 |
| MinceR | they had 20 years to learn how democracy works, they've failed the test | Dec 21 22:43 |
| cubezzz | hmm, seems like there's a world-wide movement towards Conservatism | Dec 21 22:45 |
| schestowitz | they still call it "democracy" | Dec 21 22:45 |
| cubezzz | well, they still have elections so... | Dec 21 22:45 |
| MinceR | they called it "democracy" even under the communist dictatorship | Dec 21 22:45 |
| schestowitz | so does the cult nation | Dec 21 22:45 |
| schestowitz | "North Korea (About this sound listen), officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK; Chosŏn'gŭl: 조선민주주의인민공화국), is a country in East Asia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_korea | Dec 21 22:45 |
| TechrightsBot-tr | Title: North Korea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .::. Size~: 440.78 KB | Dec 21 22:45 |
| MinceR | there were "elections" under the communist dictatorship | Dec 21 22:45 |
| cubezzz | how did that work? | Dec 21 22:46 |
| MinceR | they did not permit "fascists" (that is, anyone who was not a toady of the russians) to run in the elections | Dec 21 22:46 |
| MinceR | so the commies got over 90% of the votes every time | Dec 21 22:46 |
| MinceR | practically all decisions were made inside the party | Dec 21 22:50 |
| MinceR | and that is back again | Dec 21 22:50 |
| cubezzz | so which party did you vote for in the last election? | Dec 21 22:52 |
| MinceR | there was a time when there really was only one candidate in each race, and the "vote" was expression of disapproval with that | Dec 21 22:52 |
| MinceR | or something like that | Dec 21 22:52 |
| MinceR | cubezzz: LMP | Dec 21 22:54 |
| schestowitz | vote? LOL | Dec 21 22:55 |
| schestowitz | better roll dice | Dec 21 22:55 |
| cubezzz | Green Liberalism, interesting | Dec 21 22:55 |
| cubezzz | I was wondering if Hungary had a green party | Dec 21 22:55 |
| MinceR | well, of the parties that managed to nominate candidates/lists in my area, i pretty much eliminated all of them | Dec 21 22:55 |
| MinceR | so they were left | Dec 21 22:55 |
| MinceR | well, there are multiple "green" parties now, but only one of them could get into the parliament so far | Dec 21 22:56 |
| MinceR | i don't think the others could even nominate lists | Dec 21 22:56 |
| MinceR | (we have this idiotic nomination system which is effectively a non-secret vote) | Dec 21 22:57 |
| MinceR | (also, we have an idiotic 5% threshold for party lists to get into the parliament) | Dec 21 22:57 |
| schestowitz | eliminates 'fridge' | Dec 21 22:58 |
| schestowitz | or newcomers | Dec 21 22:58 |
| cubezzz | we need fridge to keep our drinks cold :) | Dec 21 22:58 |
| MinceR | one of the ways to ensure the two-party system | Dec 21 22:58 |
| MinceR | which is being turned into a one-party system | Dec 21 22:59 |
| schestowitz | they get a threshold to eliminate rising candidates like Nader, Paul, even racist ones like those right wingers | Dec 21 22:59 |
| schestowitz | cubezzz: fringe | Dec 21 22:59 |
| cubezzz | well they say Linux is the "fringe" | Dec 21 22:59 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: join the party, beer is in the fridge | Dec 21 22:59 |
| MinceR | keeping the fringe out is a fraudulent argument | Dec 21 23:00 |
| schestowitz | orban is in the freezer | Dec 21 23:00 |
| cubezzz | but I don't consider Linux the fringe, stuff like AROS and Plan 9 is the fringe | Dec 21 23:00 |
| MinceR | if they're under 5%, they're nothing to be afraid of | Dec 21 23:00 |
| MinceR | if they're over 5%, they aren't excluded by the rule | Dec 21 23:00 |
| scientes | what is the similarity between a air conditionier and linux? | Dec 21 23:01 |
| scientes | oh, shit i fucked up the joke | Dec 21 23:01 |
| scientes | nvm | Dec 21 23:01 |
| MinceR | all it does is force would-be candidates to join existing parties even if they disagree with them, or be marginalized from the start | Dec 21 23:01 |
| MinceR | but none of this matters anymore | Dec 21 23:01 |
| MinceR | the nazis gave foreigners citizenship with voting rights, allowing them to vote in a country they don't live in and don't pay taxes in, and most of them will vote for the nazis out of gratitude | Dec 21 23:02 |
| MinceR | and the nazis have gerrymandered all the voting districts | Dec 21 23:02 |
| MinceR | and they've raised the limits for nomination and for parties to get into the parliament | Dec 21 23:03 |
| MinceR | so it's pretty much guaranteed that they'll win any elections they decide to keep | Dec 21 23:03 |
| MinceR | (with the help of the idiot majority of the voters, of course) | Dec 21 23:03 |
| schestowitz | maybe the Nazis tried to lure back smart people they drove away | Dec 21 23:03 |
| MinceR | hardly | Dec 21 23:03 |
| cubezzz | we need people to actually think about stuff | Dec 21 23:03 |
| cubezzz | a lot of people just don't think | Dec 21 23:04 |
| MinceR | the smart people don't live in the surrounding countries where they handed out citizenships mostly | Dec 21 23:04 |
| MinceR | they live further to the west | Dec 21 23:04 |
| schestowitz | I know some people who recently got Hungarian nationality without living there | Dec 21 23:04 |
| MinceR | and they're smart enough to not move back into this cesspit | Dec 21 23:04 |
| MinceR | they've also put their people into various important seats, with very long terms and only replaceable with a 2/3 vote | Dec 21 23:05 |
| MinceR | so even if they'd lose the election, they could paralyze the next administration completely | Dec 21 23:06 |
| schestowitz | they got it all figures out | Dec 21 23:08 |
| schestowitz | check mate | Dec 21 23:08 |
