| DaemonFC | ZOMG PINK PONIES says: | Jul 19 04:16 |
| DaemonFC | The heatwaves ironically get worse in part because of peaking plants running air conditioners. | Jul 19 04:16 |
| DaemonFC | The power companies in Indiana begged people to turn off their air conditioners so they could avoid peaking, and now they're trying to bribe you to let them turn off your air conditioner with a device they'll attach to it. | Jul 19 04:16 |
| DaemonFC | You get an $8 a month bill credit, but they could end up disabling your air conditioner for 4 or 5 hours while it's 100 degrees outside. | Jul 19 04:16 |
| DaemonFC | Instead of investing serious money into renewables, they either fire up a peaking plant that runs on fuel oil and gouge the hell out of everyone, or shut a bunch of air conditioners off. | Jul 19 04:16 |
| DaemonFC | Sounds hilarious that anyone stupid enough to let them put one of those devices on their air conditioner could end up roasting, but when you think about it, the little $8 credit tends to lure in people who are 70-80-90 years old and living on a small amount of Social Security money, and it leaves them roasting under the August sun trying to save a few bucks so they can afford what global warming and Wall Street have done to food prices. | Jul 19 04:16 |
| DaemonFC | And the reason we can't get more wind capacity installed is not because it's not economically viable, it's because of these *****bag rich people in gated communities that "don't want to have to look at that". | Jul 19 04:16 |

| MinceR | 211031 <@MinceR> re what DaemonFC said, that's exactly how it works here | Jul 19 06:22 |
| DaemonFC | Oh, taxes and free shit? | Jul 19 06:24 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, The sequester is actually mostly cutting spending that I never agreed with anyway. | Jul 19 06:24 |
| DaemonFC | It's forcing military spending cuts and it's trimming a few branches off the Free Shit Tree for people who had kids they couldn't afford. | Jul 19 06:25 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Did you see Microsoft's latest financial report? | Jul 19 06:25 |
| DaemonFC | Gross revenue is up, but Windows RT was mostly responsible for net profits not growing. | Jul 19 06:26 |
| DaemonFC | They had to charge $900 million in Windows RT device price cuts and retailer/OEM kickbacks to their bottom line. | Jul 19 06:26 |
| DaemonFC | It's going to be worse going forward. The stuff they've done so far hasn't increased demand, so they're paying retailers and incentive of $10 per device on top of everything they were already doing. | Jul 19 06:27 |
| DaemonFC | I guess the idea is that a lot of retailers will offer an extra $5 to their minimum wage sales staff, and that will pressure them to recommend Windows RT. | Jul 19 06:28 |
| DaemonFC | $5 commission per sale is not a lot of money, but stores like Best Buy only pay just slightly over minimum wage. | Jul 19 06:28 |
| DaemonFC | So their sales people only make like $8.50 an hour before their commission. | Jul 19 06:29 |
| DaemonFC | It puts pressure on them to sell sell phone plans and junk. | Jul 19 06:29 |
| DaemonFC | *cell | Jul 19 06:29 |
| DaemonFC | They still have "Geek Squad". One of the news channels did an undercover investigation of that. | Jul 19 06:29 |
| DaemonFC | They unplugged a hard drive SATA cable and took the computer around to various computer repair shops in the area. | Jul 19 06:30 |
| DaemonFC | All of the smaller ones plugged the cable back in and didn't charge them anything. | Jul 19 06:30 |
| DaemonFC | Then they got to Best Buy. | Jul 19 06:30 |
| DaemonFC | Best Buy said "Your hard drive is broken and we found a virus. It'll cost you $200. We recommend buying a new computer." | Jul 19 06:31 |
| DaemonFC | Reminds me of those 10 minute oil change places they did an undercover investigation on. | Jul 19 06:31 |
| DaemonFC | The news crew would take a sharpie marker and make a mark on the old oil, air, and fuel filters. | Jul 19 06:32 |
| DaemonFC | Then they took them around to places like Jiffy Lube and bought any service they recommended. So while they brought it in for an oil change, they got talked into having new fuel and air filters put in as well. | Jul 19 06:32 |
| DaemonFC | Then the car comes out and it still has all the original filters on it and the old oil, and they would be charged like $100. | Jul 19 06:33 |
| DaemonFC | So, I started doing that as well. Before I take the car in to get the oil changed, I mark my old oil filter, and then I check to make sure they actually replaced it when it comes out. Walmart always does. | Jul 19 06:34 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Not that they haven't tried to cheat me though. | Jul 19 06:34 |
| DaemonFC | For an extra $10, they'll check your tire pressure and make sure your turn signals are working! | Jul 19 06:35 |
| DaemonFC | B-) | Jul 19 06:35 |
| DaemonFC | I told the guy "How about I hop out and check it myself and keep the $10?" | Jul 19 06:35 |
| DaemonFC | Then I had a tire pressure sensor fail and the guy offered to replace is for "Between $40 and $200.". | Jul 19 06:36 |
| DaemonFC | I told him to forget it. The light can just stay on. The other guy in the shop was laughing his ass off. | Jul 19 06:36 |
| DaemonFC | Then they got mad at me the last time I was in there because I made them separate the costs of an air filter, oil filter, and wiper blades so I could send in rebates for all of it. | Jul 19 06:37 |
| DaemonFC | I only go to Walmart because the other places are shockingly worse. Like, there's this one called Monro that sent out an ad offering an oil change for $18.99, then when I got there the guy said I had to make an appointment and come back the next day, and it wasn't really $18.99, it was $29.99+ tax because they added shop fees. :) | Jul 19 06:39 |
| DaemonFC | I guess the bottom line is that the world is full of dishonest people that try to lead you into bad decisions so they can liberate you from some of your money. | Jul 19 06:41 |
| DaemonFC | I think it;s hysterical that Microsoft is betting the future of Windows RT on $5 and $10 incentives to teenagers. | Jul 19 06:42 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC: yes, free shit, people being paid for making children | Jul 19 06:43 |
| DaemonFC | What's really amazing is that Best Buy still exists. | Jul 19 06:43 |
| DaemonFC | They're almost as bad as CompUSA used to be. | Jul 19 06:43 |
| DaemonFC | The last time I bought something from Best Buy was in like 2002(?). | Jul 19 06:44 |
| DaemonFC | I still had dial up internet and the Mandrake Linux download was like four CDs. | Jul 19 06:44 |
| DaemonFC | You had to have all of them because there was no live installer or anything. It was horrible. | Jul 19 06:45 |
| DaemonFC | I think I ended up paying like $60 for four CDs and a box. | Jul 19 06:45 |
| DaemonFC | :/ | Jul 19 06:45 |
| MinceR | it's not a function of live installers, rather whether the base system is on the first disc :> | Jul 19 06:46 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I'm surprised that that still goes on. Automation and offshoring has basically destroyed the need for manual labor. | Jul 19 06:46 |
| DaemonFC | So they're basically paying people to make the next generation of unemployed welfare cases for life. | Jul 19 06:47 |
| DaemonFC | Is there any method to the madness? | Jul 19 06:47 |
| DaemonFC | "it's not a function of live installers, rather whether the base system is on the first disc :>" | Jul 19 06:48 |
| DaemonFC | As to that, I don't believe there was a netinstaller and installing from dial up would just mean the ISP or phone company would disconnect you during the installation process. | Jul 19 06:48 |
| DaemonFC | Maybe on the 20th attempt, you'd finally get lucky, after weeks of trying to install it. :) | Jul 19 06:49 |
| DaemonFC | Around that time, US dial up ISPs were dealing with heavy demand by throwing off whoever had been logged on for the longest amount of time when someone else wanted to connect. | Jul 19 06:50 |
| DaemonFC | So it was basically like dealing with a rolling blackout. | Jul 19 06:50 |
| MinceR | i mean you could install from the first disc, boot, and install any additional packages you need later, online | Jul 19 06:51 |
| MinceR | or download them later | Jul 19 06:51 |
| DaemonFC | I set my system up to automatically redial on disconnect and to keep trying until a connection was established. | Jul 19 06:51 |
| MinceR | the method to the madness might be that the leaders want more slaves; also, they're christian fundies so they hate abortion and want to breed like flies | Jul 19 06:52 |
| MinceR | they want to compete with muslims at 'who can breed faster' | Jul 19 06:52 |
| MinceR | of course, nature will stop that race, but it will be very painful for humans | Jul 19 06:53 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, The Muslims get on the welfare system too. | Jul 19 06:56 |
| DaemonFC | They encourage the rest of them to get on the system so the "infidel can pay for their own destruction". | Jul 19 06:57 |
| DaemonFC | I actually managed to make GNOME 3.8 usable. | Jul 19 06:59 |
| DaemonFC | It took me a while though. | Jul 19 06:59 |
| DaemonFC | Had to mess around with extensions, Tweak Tool, and dconf-editor. | Jul 19 07:00 |
| DaemonFC | For some reason they decided that a single user system doesn't need a log out button, so that's where dconf-editor came in. | Jul 19 07:00 |
| MinceR | was it worth the trouble? | Jul 19 07:00 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Unfortunately, yes. | Jul 19 07:00 |
| DaemonFC | I was having so many problems with KDE 4.10.5 that I gave up and removed it. | Jul 19 07:01 |
| DaemonFC | Then I installed GNOME and deleted all the KDE stuff out of my home folder. | Jul 19 07:01 |
| DaemonFC | By the time I gave up on KDE, I was having problems with Amarok and Dragon Player. | Jul 19 07:01 |
| DaemonFC | Kwin was using 128 MB of RAM all by itself. | Jul 19 07:02 |
| DaemonFC | and krunner would crash on log in, which stopped hotkeys and the logout menu from working. | Jul 19 07:02 |
| MinceR | why not xfce or lxde? | Jul 19 07:02 |
| DaemonFC | So to shut down the computer, I was having to use shutdown and reboot. | Jul 19 07:02 |
| DaemonFC | They are missing some applications that I want to use. | Jul 19 07:03 |
| DaemonFC | One in particular would require installing half of gnome anyway. | Jul 19 07:03 |
| DaemonFC | If I had to pick one of them I would choose xfce, because I think it's a lot better than lxde. | Jul 19 07:03 |
| DaemonFC | lxde is basically meant for old computers that can't really do much at all, so the software has been stripped down severely. | Jul 19 07:04 |
| DaemonFC | xfce manages to have a lot more features without being decadent | Jul 19 07:04 |
| MinceR | there are also some wm-s that do most of the work of a DE by themselves | Jul 19 07:05 |
| *gde33 (~gde33@546A1A51.cm-12-3a.dynamic.ziggo.nl) has joined #techrights | Jul 19 07:05 | |
| DaemonFC | I like xfwm4. | Jul 19 07:06 |
| DaemonFC | It's probably the best work the xfce people have done. | Jul 19 07:07 |
| DaemonFC | The last time I tried it out, it only used 12 MB of RAM with the composite manager running. | Jul 19 07:07 |
| DaemonFC | That's pretty impressive really. | Jul 19 07:07 |
| MinceR | :) | Jul 19 07:07 |
| DaemonFC | gnome is using less memory than KDE was | Jul 19 07:08 |
| DaemonFC | Roughly 800 MB less, in fact. | Jul 19 07:08 |
| DaemonFC | damn | Jul 19 07:08 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Jul 19 07:08 |
| DaemonFC | KDE has gotten downright terrible about its memory consumption. | Jul 19 07:10 |
| DaemonFC | Between KDE 4.9 and 4.10, the memory usage of kwin more than doubled. | Jul 19 07:10 |
| DaemonFC | It was using somewhere around 50 MB before. | Jul 19 07:11 |
| DaemonFC | That's with all my usual applications running. | Jul 19 07:11 |
| DaemonFC | In 4.10 it was around 120-130 MB with the same applications running. | Jul 19 07:11 |
| DaemonFC | So the window manager alone is something like 12-13 copies of xfwm now. | Jul 19 07:12 |
| DaemonFC | That's getting completely out of control. | Jul 19 07:12 |

| DaemonFC | 20 years ago, it was the best ice cream you could buy. | Jul 19 07:14 |
| DaemonFC | Now it's just so artificial and nasty, and they even took about a third of the product away. | Jul 19 07:15 |
| DaemonFC | I blame the Walmart effect. | Jul 19 07:15 |
| DaemonFC | They've been cutting corners to make the product as cheap as possible, so the unwashed masses can afford it. | Jul 19 07:15 |
| DaemonFC | I noticed that Walmart has gotten really aggressive about reducing packaging. | Jul 19 07:16 |
| DaemonFC | Back when I worked there, each carton of Great Value ice cream was shrink wrapped in plastic, and now it's not. | Jul 19 07:17 |
| DaemonFC | They sell enough ice cream that that probably represents thousands of pounds of plastic per day that they're not using anymore. | Jul 19 07:17 |
| DaemonFC | I always wondered why they wrapped it like that in the first place. They wrapped it in another layer of thick plastic that you had to cut open with a box knife. | Jul 19 07:18 |
| DaemonFC | So you ended up cutting into the plastic on the containers as well. | Jul 19 07:18 |

| schestowitz | " | Jul 19 16:10 |
| schestowitz | Slackware is cool and low profile. VectorLinux, Zenwalk, Salix, Porteus and Wifislax a.o. are based on it. | Jul 19 16:10 |
| schestowitz | Slackware, started by Patrick Volkerding in late 1992, and initially released to the world on July 17, 1993, was the first Linux distribution to achieve widespread use. Volkerding first learned of Linux when he needed an inexpensive LISP interpreter for a project. One of the few distributions available at the time was SLS Linux from Soft Landing Systems. Volkerding used SLS Linux, fixing bugs as he found them. Eventually, he | Jul 19 16:10 |
| schestowitz | decided to merge all of these bugfixes into his own private distribution that he and his friends could use. This private distribution quickly gained popularity, so Volkerding decided to name it Slackware and make it publicly available. Along the way, Patrick added new things to Slackware; a user friendly installation program based on a menuing system, as well as the concept of package management, which allows users to easily add, | Jul 19 16:10 |
| schestowitz | remove, or upgrade software packages on their systems. | Jul 19 16:10 |
| schestowitz | There are many reasons why Slackware is Linux's oldest living distribution. It does not try to emulate Windows, it tries to be as Unix-like as possible. It does not try to cover up processes with fancy, point-and-click GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces). Instead, it puts users in control by letting them see exactly what's going on. Its development is not rushed to meet deadlines-each version comes out when it is ready. | Jul 19 16:10 |

A couple days later I took a shower and laid out my clean underware on the bathroom sink. After the shower, I found a huge spider in the crotch of my underpants!

| MinceR | <DaemonFC> You're not being paid to breathe, you're being paid ro work. Breathe during your break. | Jul 19 20:14 |
| DaemonFC | It wasn't the worst thing in the world. | Jul 19 20:14 |
| MinceR | s/ ro/ to/ | Jul 19 20:14 |
| msb_ | DaemonFC: Few spiders are poisonous, and all spiders catch and eat bugs that would otherwise annoy and sometimes bite us. | Jul 19 20:14 |
| MinceR | and spiders don't even fly or crawl on us normally | Jul 19 20:15 |
| DaemonFC | They didn't fire you for talking, but you'd make more money the more work you did. | Jul 19 20:15 |
| msb_ | Some are very pretty too. | Jul 19 20:15 |
| DaemonFC | So stopping to talk meant less money in your paycheck. | Jul 19 20:15 |
| MinceR | i'm only worried about them crawling into the vents of my computers :> | Jul 19 20:15 |
| DaemonFC | It kind of discourages the talking. | Jul 19 20:15 |
| MinceR | and who's so dumb that he can't talk while doing other things? | Jul 19 20:15 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, The base pay at that job was only like $9.50 an hour. | Jul 19 20:16 |
| msb_ | MinceR: You could tape plastic window-screen material over the vents. | Jul 19 20:16 |
| DaemonFC | but you made a certain extra percentage of your pay for each percent over 80% of your rate. | Jul 19 20:16 |
| DaemonFC | So I figured out ways to do 140-150%. | Jul 19 20:17 |
| MinceR | msb_: it would lessen the effectiveness of cooling, though | Jul 19 20:17 |
| DaemonFC | I had the supervisor following me around trying to figure out if I was cheating. | Jul 19 20:17 |
| DaemonFC | He gave up and told his boss I was just working really fast, so they dropped the matter. | Jul 19 20:17 |
| DaemonFC | Every month I was there, I ended up on the top of the list that month and got another bonus. | Jul 19 20:18 |
| DaemonFC | I managed to get my effective pay up to a little over $15 an hour. | Jul 19 20:18 |
| DaemonFC | Like I said, plenty of time to talk during break. :) | Jul 19 20:19 |
| DaemonFC | The only part that really sucked was during the summer time when the warehouse got really hot. | Jul 19 20:19 |
| DaemonFC | I mean REALLY hot. | Jul 19 20:19 |
| MinceR | did they have no air conditioning? | Jul 19 20:20 |
| DaemonFC | They'd set out these coolers with ice cold gatorade and water. | Jul 19 20:20 |
| msb_ | MinceR: But at least it would prevent the spiders from getting in and combining with the silicon chips to make a new form of life that would multiply and take over the Earth. | Jul 19 20:20 |
| DaemonFC | I got one of those sport bottles and carried it around with me. | Jul 19 20:20 |
| DaemonFC | It helped. | Jul 19 20:20 |
| MinceR | :) | Jul 19 20:20 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, I'd walk about 12-14 miles a night when I was picking orders there. | Jul 19 20:21 |
| DaemonFC | Eventually they put me on the forklifts and that was much better. | Jul 19 20:21 |
| DaemonFC | More money, less work. | Jul 19 20:21 |
| DaemonFC | I liked it when they weren't getting a lot of orders and there was voluntary leave. I'd be the only one working back there. | Jul 19 20:22 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, they're going to like it a lot less if Amazon ever figures out how to get robots doing it. | Jul 19 20:30 |
| DaemonFC | Then there will be no job and no paycheck. | Jul 19 20:30 |
| MinceR | indeed | Jul 19 20:30 |
| MinceR | but it's a job for robots anyway | Jul 19 20:30 |
| MinceR | "never send a human to do a machine's job" | Jul 19 20:30 |
| DaemonFC | Well, as all these jobs disappear, there are fewer people who can buy things. | Jul 19 20:31 |
| DaemonFC | More businesses fail. | Jul 19 20:31 |
| DaemonFC | More people suffer. | Jul 19 20:31 |
