| DaemonFC | I'm a reasonably physically healthy 29 year old man with no blood borne diseases. I have a blood type that can be accepted by pretty much everyone on Earth. I have been permanently banned from donating blood, plasma, and organs because I am gay. | Dec 15 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | Think about that, the next time a disaster happens, thousands of people are bleeding, and the Red Cross can't get enough of you to donate blood. | Dec 15 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | If I die, they will allow perfectly usable organs to rot. Think about that, the next time you know someone that needs an eye, heart, lung, liver, kidney, etc. and can't get one. | Dec 15 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | Then thank the Republican Party, right-wing homophobia, and a CDC policy that dates back to the Reagan 80s and is based on fear, not science. | Dec 15 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | Then pat yourselves on the back, if you think I should still be banned, for letting other people die. | Dec 15 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | I am tired of this shit. Tired of this shit. When are people going to wake up and smell reality? | Dec 15 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | When you go down to the centers where they collect blood and plasma, and pay people to donate, look around. These are college students. These are alcoholics. These are people who you know are probably having unprotected sex. Since they're straight, we have a national policy to let them donate anyway. They're more of a risk to public health than I am. The Red Cross tests *EVERY* blood sample donated. Every single one. *If* a donor has HIV, the | Dec 15 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | fourth generation tests that they use will usually catch it within five days of infection. That's how good the tests are. All they really have to ask people now is the following question. | Dec 15 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | "Have you had unprotected sex, with anyone, in the last week?" | Dec 15 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | But, we have this stupid paranoia that is causing people to die because of blood, plasma, and organ shortages. STUPID people and their STUPID public policy are letting this continue, because they have irrational, illogical prejudices. That's all that's keeping this policy around now that we have modern medical science. | Dec 15 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | 24 seconds ago | Dec 15 02:11 |
| DaemonFC | Please contact the Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767, and tell them "It's time to end the ban on blood, plasma, tissue, and organ donations from gay and bisexual men. This policy is rooted in thirty year old hysteria, not modern medical science. Please replace your questions about sex partners with one that simply asks everyone if they've had unprotected sex recently. You are allowing straight people who have unprotected sex with an unlimited | Dec 15 02:11 |

| oiaohm | iophk: yes its funny. | Dec 15 11:18 |
| oiaohm | iophk: google already has you sniffed anyhow. | Dec 15 11:19 |
| oiaohm | iophk: the fact they are blocking thrid parties from sniffing I wonder if we will see a anti-trust case against google. | Dec 15 11:19 |
| iophk | yes they have all the info, but the new settings allow spammers and others to track also | Dec 15 11:19 |
| iophk | Anti-trust probably doesn't apply here. | Dec 15 11:20 |
| oiaohm | iophk: if you look closer no it does not. | Dec 15 11:20 |
| oiaohm | Google is acting as the middle man. | Dec 15 11:20 |
| oiaohm | So third parties only see that a google server collected the image then cached it. | Dec 15 11:21 |
| iophk | yes but at some time they might start really abusing their control or position first-hand | Dec 15 11:21 |
| iophk | then anti-trust would apply. | Dec 15 11:21 |
| iophk | But anti-trust has been slow and weak in recent decades. | Dec 15 11:21 |
| oiaohm | Note most spam email is balk identical. | Dec 15 11:21 |
| oiaohm | So identical images and links inside. | Dec 15 11:22 |
| oiaohm | What google is doing to track spammer will have todo per email emails. | Dec 15 11:22 |
| iophk | gmail's non-javascript configuration interface does not allow disabling of remote images. | Dec 15 11:24 |
| oiaohm | iophk: the thing here is they are no longer remote. | Dec 15 11:24 |
| iophk | remote and local at the same time | Dec 15 11:24 |
| oiaohm | They are from google servers same servers you are going to for your email. | Dec 15 11:24 |
| iophk | the cache is a proxy | Dec 15 11:24 |
| oiaohm | iophk: the proxy is a filter. | Dec 15 11:25 |
| oiaohm | The address you are using to the google proxy is a google unique address. | Dec 15 11:25 |
| oiaohm | So no cookies from target or any other marker get to you. | Dec 15 11:25 |
| iophk | No. Just if the have sent unique urls. | Dec 15 11:26 |
| oiaohm | iophk: they never got you ip address | Dec 15 11:26 |
| oiaohm | They never got to set cookies in your browser. | Dec 15 11:26 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Dec 15 11:27 | |
| oiaohm | If they sent unique url all they get is that your email is active. | Dec 15 11:27 |
| iophk | Yes, that can be bad enough. | Dec 15 11:27 |
| oiaohm | iophk: and maybe not that. | Dec 15 11:27 |
| iophk | Too bad the politicians did not take the problem of spam seriously at the end of the 90's | Dec 15 11:27 |
| oiaohm | iophk: why google bot is the one collecting the data. | Dec 15 11:27 |
| oiaohm | So end person is left guessing. | Dec 15 11:27 |
| oiaohm | Was it some random luck that google bot found it. | Dec 15 11:28 |
| oiaohm | iophk: now the other thing google may not wait for you to open the email to collect the images either. | Dec 15 11:28 |
| oiaohm | iophk: this is the complete problem for the spammers. | Dec 15 11:29 |
| oiaohm | Remember they are paid on click and paid on view and so on. | Dec 15 11:29 |
| oiaohm | Google alteration undoes there means to prove viewed. | Dec 15 11:30 |
| iophk | only if the cache preloads the image | Dec 15 11:31 |
| iophk | if the cache loads only on demand then it shows that the user has viewed the image | Dec 15 11:31 |
| oiaohm | iophk: and the current configuation it does preload the iamge. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| iophk | or at least opened the spam | Dec 15 11:32 |
| oiaohm | iophk: google is virus scanning. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| iophk | the new default is to load the remote images. That was just changed. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| oiaohm | by proxy. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| oiaohm | But for person bandwidth I still would like an option for images off. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| iophk | Yes, load them by proxy, but load them by default. It's there in Gmail's settings. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| iophk | Images off completely would be best. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| iophk | HTML mail is a pox. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| oiaohm | iophk: for ID malware hidden scanning the images is required. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| oiaohm | Not everyone is using google web client. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| oiaohm | with gmail. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| iophk | I'm pretty sure 100% can be deleted automatically without losing anything. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| oiaohm | The proxy is a google gmail secuirty upgrade. | Dec 15 11:34 |
| oiaohm | deeper and more complete scanning of email. | Dec 15 11:34 |
| oiaohm | Now of course that is good and bad. | Dec 15 11:34 |
| oiaohm | Bad for malware and spammers. | Dec 15 11:34 |
| oiaohm | Bad for NSA collected information from google. | Dec 15 11:35 |
| oiaohm | Good for letting less viruses and malware past. | Dec 15 11:35 |
| oiaohm | iophk: basically I see good and bad in what google has just done. | Dec 15 11:36 |
| iophk | yes, it has those advantages | Dec 15 11:37 |
| iophk | NSA can just get info direct from Google's servers, the proxy won't affect much if anything. | Dec 15 11:37 |
| oiaohm | Bad is more bandwidth used between user and google checking mail. | Dec 15 11:37 |
| oiaohm | iophk: other than the fact NSA knows from google when you viewed those emails. | Dec 15 11:47 |
| oiaohm | iophk: including the images. | Dec 15 11:47 |

| schestowitz_bed2 | This is why I don't like Android - non free apps have been able to rape users all along. All the apps wanted everything and it was impossible to do things without an actual cell phone number. I don't know what magic Google has to keep an app from making a copy of my addressbook or from capturing a password that would give full access to my email, but I imagine it's full of holes. | Dec 15 19:24 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | The phone companies are the worst. It was impossible for me to get VOIP without having a "real" phone number from a damn SIM card. Even Google voice was like this. Hangouts worked for other G+ users. You just can't connect to the phone system with it unless you have a phone line. | Dec 15 19:24 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | Particularly disgusting was Vonnage, which I use at home without a phone line. I would have thought the company would be happy with me identifying myself and putting their crappy binary on my phone. The program even had a preference that would make it wifi only. Just the same, it demanded my cell phone's number to finish verifying who I was. | Dec 15 19:24 |

The biggest problem of which is that I've grown rather addicted to one particular Android app: an effing call screening tool (though those are about the most intrusive of all privacy-invasion apps).

| schestowitz_bed2 | Get a tablet, preferably one capable of loading a custom mod and/or actual Linux load (what's the state of those -- Ubuntu's been making noises, and I think there's a couple of other alternatives). A phone is, ultimately, a little too small to be useful for content. A tablet just noses in for dealing with content.

| iophk | hi | Dec 16 19:51 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: looks ike I am going to be responsible for event merchandice | Dec 16 19:51 |
| sebsebseb | or pretty much | Dec 16 19:51 |
| iophk | mageia! | Dec 16 19:51 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: heh heh | Dec 16 19:51 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: need to sort my freebies examples bag out for tommorw | Dec 16 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | ,but yeah going to show them stuf | Dec 16 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | kind of stuff that could have | Dec 16 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | for some deciosns on wht to have and such, b ut yeah | Dec 16 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I guess either way can slip in some Mageia stuff in anyway heh heh | Dec 16 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | if I really want | Dec 16 19:52 |
| iophk | It's a good distro... | Dec 16 19:53 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: that's going to have a basic background for the next release | Dec 16 19:53 |
| sebsebseb | ,but not to bad I think | Dec 16 19:53 |
| sebsebseb | from what I seen of proposals | Dec 16 19:53 |
| sebsebseb | ,but so not Fedora style for example | Dec 16 19:53 |
| sebsebseb | well it's either one of those, or the old background it seems | Dec 16 19:53 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: don't need to fancy for a default look really anyway I guess | Dec 16 19:54 |
| sebsebseb | and people tend to change the backgorund anyway | Dec 16 19:54 |
| iophk | Yeah it's one of the few things people still tend to change. | Dec 16 19:55 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: some sort of blue probaly and flower type background | Dec 16 19:55 |
| sebsebseb | looks ok | Dec 16 19:55 |
| sebsebseb | I Mean the proposals I have seen, but yes very basic | Dec 16 19:55 |
| sebsebseb | backgound stay for Grub and log in screens usually though | Dec 16 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | and control centre in this case | Dec 16 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: so still my event then or well for merchandice | Dec 16 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | it seems it will be then | Dec 16 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | openSUSE stuff that I won't be providing | Dec 16 19:58 |
| iophk | That can get Mageia to people's homes | Dec 16 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | Mint stuff that I won't be providing | Dec 16 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | Ubuntu suff that I probably won't be providing, well maybe a little bit, but most of it nope | Dec 16 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | other stuff well that I will be providing :d | Dec 16 19:59 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: yes seems there's a idea to have some cd's now to or something or for the choosen distro's | Dec 16 19:59 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: no boycott Sony stickers for this evente htough I Think for exmaple | Dec 16 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | I think mos FSF stuff is out | Dec 16 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | and FSFE andsuch | Dec 16 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I mean my idea is to have something about opensource/freesoftware poibly a fyer, but in genral just to have stuff for distro's and end user software that is used such as FIrefox and Libre Office, not for databases and what not | Dec 16 20:01 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: imagine giving a Boycott Sony sticker to a non techncal | Dec 16 20:02 |
| sebsebseb | they won't understand | Dec 16 20:02 |
| iophk | probably not | Dec 16 20:03 |
| iophk | Flyers might be good. | Dec 16 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: also FSF has a nice Hurd sticker, but | Dec 16 20:03 |
| iophk | People like to have something in hand. | Dec 16 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | I think understanding what the penguin is will be confusisng nough | Dec 16 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | so I think Hurd sticker is out to then | Dec 16 20:03 |
| iophk | Maybe one flier describing common apps.? | Dec 16 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | for example | Dec 16 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: oh they wil have a vidoe in the meeting room | Dec 16 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | explaining some stuff in video | Dec 16 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | ,but having someflyers could be good to | Dec 16 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | FSF Europe has a nice on explaining aout free software and such | Dec 16 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | that kind of thing I am thinking | Dec 16 20:04 |
| iophk | yes there were some ideas in your notes from the other month about what to put on the video | Dec 16 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | oh they are just showing the desktops and how to openapps up etc | Dec 16 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | he made a sample video idea | Dec 16 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | may just make own using a screencast someone | Dec 16 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: Mageia isn't one of the distros now, and GNOME 3 isn't one of the interfaces now, so I don't care that much about those videos now | Dec 16 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | let them make something for their three choosen distros and interfaces I am thinking | Dec 16 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | yep their not my really, I wanted a fourth and you know what that is | Dec 16 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | I guess ended up taking it's spot as one of the three really, but odd not to have Ubuntu for that kind of event I think | Dec 16 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | I guess Ubuntu above | Dec 16 20:07 |
| iophk | Maybe Ubuntu in the swag? | Dec 16 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: willl be interesting to see if not so technial users like Unityor not | Dec 16 20:08 |
| iophk | Some do, some don't | Dec 16 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | nope it's been dieced theose three distros I told you about | Dec 16 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | and that's that it seems | Dec 16 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: having good stuff to igive out is importan I Think | Dec 16 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | people like picking up free stuff at events | Dec 16 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | a lot do | Dec 16 20:09 |
| iophk | That's why the DVDs / CDs are an ok choice. | Dec 16 20:10 |
| iophk | Also, as we talked about, they can't be overwritten. | Dec 16 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | wel seems there may be CD's and DVd's for distors to | Dec 16 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | offical ones | Dec 16 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | there was a mention of getting some Ubuntu CD's etc, and something abobut covers for cd's possibly making some | Dec 16 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: yep should be goodfor merchandice this I Think | Dec 16 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | for freebies | Dec 16 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | espeicaly if I am mainly in charge of that :) | Dec 16 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: so do you think a flyer about what opensource/freesoftware is | Dec 16 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | is a good idea? | Dec 16 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | explained in a not so technical way | Dec 16 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | FSFE has one | Dec 16 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | then it's also about joining FFSFE etc, so I was thinking something similar to that possibly | Dec 16 20:13 |
| iophk | yes, cover some of the apps they will find useful | Dec 16 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | also one about the LUGcould be good | Dec 16 20:14 |
| iophk | firefox, thunderbird, vlc, libreoffice, | Dec 16 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | I got some some hwre for another LUG | Dec 16 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: well videos will cover osme of that I think | Dec 16 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | yep I got to go through stuff and sort my bag out for tommorow | Dec 16 20:14 |
| iophk | yes, it would be good to have both flyers and video cover some of the same things | Dec 16 20:14 |
| iophk | you will reach different people | Dec 16 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I guess I split it up like this in the bag. Ubuntu ustff in another bag | Dec 16 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | open source in one bag | Dec 16 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | other stuf in another or something ike that | Dec 16 20:15 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: wel there's going to b some old Linux magainze there for people to read as wel it seems | Dec 16 20:15 |
| sebsebseb | ,but flyers are still good | Dec 16 20:15 |
| iophk | 2 or 3 are enough. | Dec 16 20:15 |
| iophk | One for the LUG as you say. | Dec 16 20:15 |
| iophk | On for the apps. | Dec 16 20:16 |
| sebsebseb | onefor Mageia mayb :d | Dec 16 20:16 |
| iophk | Yep. :) | Dec 16 20:16 |
| sebsebseb | can havea few flyers realy | Dec 16 20:16 |
| sebsebseb | ,but shoudn't over do it | Dec 16 20:16 |

| sebsebseb | I did mention that in a eai | Dec 16 20:19 |
| sebsebseb | ,but didn't get any reposne from what Iremember or as such | Dec 16 20:19 |

| sebsebseb | ,but the discs wil just be freebie | Dec 16 20:20 |
| sebsebseb | s | Dec 16 20:20 |
| sebsebseb | they wil still do this remaster stuff | Dec 16 20:21 |
| iophk | freebie is fine, it's still a way to get the stoc.k distro to them | Dec 16 20:21 |
| sebsebseb | yep :) | Dec 16 20:21 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I'll shw them example of uBUNT U13.`10 cd'S | Dec 16 20:22 |
| sebsebseb | and open suse even etc tommorwo | Dec 16 20:22 |

| sebsebseb | iophk: I got uBUNTU ey rings and such here to, since I bought some stuff from Canonical, so may as well show that as well | Dec 16 20:23 |
| iophk | Hardware is ok. | Dec 16 20:24 |

| sebsebseb | apparnatlly going to get some Mint stuff as well | Dec 16 20:24 |
| iophk | except that the suse stuff is suse | Dec 16 20:25 |
| sebsebseb | heh heh well yeah but it still looks nice, a bit like how Mac OS X or Apple hardware looks nice, but when well it's Apple, a very propritary for profit money sucking company | Dec 16 20:25 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: looking nice is what wil draw non technial people in though | Dec 16 20:26 |
| sebsebseb | espeically if it's got that commerial touch to things I think, like both openSUSE and Ubuntu have | Dec 16 20:26 |
| sebsebseb | people generally trust companies | Dec 16 20:27 |
| sebsebseb | you see | Dec 16 20:27 |
| sebsebseb | those kind of people I mean | Dec 16 20:27 |
| sebsebseb | etc | Dec 16 20:27 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: many are consumers, they just buy stuff etc you know | Dec 16 20:27 |

| schestowitz | But I bet they'll rant about it being ex4 | Dec 17 19:51 |

| Sosumi | unless it's those "cloud" enabled HDDs and/or in need of special software to setup, there's no drm | Dec 17 19:55 |

| schestowitz | BTW! | Dec 17 19:55 |
| Sosumi | as for reliability, WD velociraptors so far have beaten everything | Dec 17 19:55 |

| MinceR | well, i have my own cloud :> | Dec 17 19:56 |
| Sosumi | the oldest models I still have running are from 2008 | Dec 17 19:56 |
| Sosumi | just stay away from pre-packeaged HDDs | Dec 17 19:58 |
| Sosumi | diskless enclosures are the way to go | Dec 17 19:58 |
| MinceR | why? | Dec 17 19:58 |
| MinceR | in the case of a pre-packaged hdd, if it breaks, it's easy to know whose warranty is supposed to cover it | Dec 17 19:58 |
| Sosumi | no need for special software (like WD does) to configure | Dec 17 19:58 |
| MinceR | but with an enclosure+hdd setup, everyone can blame the other | Dec 17 19:58 |
| Sosumi | you know what HDD is inside | Dec 17 19:58 |
| MinceR | mine so far just work as plain usb (2.0 or 3.0) mass storage devices | Dec 17 19:59 |
| MinceR | though i suspect this does block access to SMART | Dec 17 19:59 |
| Sosumi | I don't like to play the blame game ;) | Dec 17 20:00 |
| Sosumi | plus, enterprise grade HDDs tend to come with 5 to 7 years warranty | Dec 17 20:00 |
| Sosumi | also you can do your own box | Dec 17 20:04 |

| DaemonFC | One of the things that will certainly happen when you tell people that the minimum wage is too low, is that they will defend the low wage, because their employer pays them $1-2 an hour more, and they're worried that they will be "less better off" than the people who were actually making minimum wage. There's a simple explanation for that. People would rather see the people around them suffering more than they are, than see those people get a | Dec 18 01:48 |

| DaemonFC | What these people don't see is that when the wage floor is so low, that gives employers cover to pay $8-9 an hour and claim that they "don't pay minimum wage". Walmart does this. They don't pay minimum wage, but you can't live like that. | Dec 18 01:48 |
| DaemonFC | When I worked at my first job, in 2002, right after getting my GED, I made $8.54 an hour, or $11.06 an hour in 2013 dollars. The factory jobs that you see in Huntington now tend to start out at $9 an hour, or $6.95 in 2002 dollars. | Dec 18 01:48 |

| sebsebseb | yeah | Dec 18 02:35 |
| sebsebseb | heh heh | Dec 18 02:35 |
| Sosumi | no, I meant in the sense of keeping harware up to date | Dec 18 02:35 |
| prurigro | sebsebseb: eww | Dec 18 02:35 |
| prurigro | :) | Dec 18 02:35 |
| sebsebseb | prurigro: how about some Linux Mint, to try and get rid of your eww taste? | Dec 18 02:36 |
| prurigro | sebsebseb: might as well just elementary it up while you're at it | Dec 18 02:36 |
| prurigro | Sosumi: I replaced my 8 year old computer's GPU a month ago when the old one finally burnt out | Dec 18 02:36 |
| prurigro | seems about the same | Dec 18 02:36 |
| Sosumi | you know that you can use multiple gpus for compute, right? | Dec 18 02:37 |
| Sosumi | that's the whole point of agressively keeping up with upgrades | Dec 18 02:38 |
| prurigro | not mine, but I'm aware this is possible- not sure what that would imply? | Dec 18 02:38 |
| Sosumi | because with time your code also increases in complexity | Dec 18 02:38 |
| prurigro | my 8 year old gpu was running the latest 3d desktops and 1080p video without breaking a sweat | Dec 18 02:39 |
| prurigro | trying to mine bitcoin with it was another story... but hey :) | Dec 18 02:39 |
| prurigro | nvidia cards aren't the best for that anyway | Dec 18 02:40 |
| prurigro | well, nowdays you need an ASIC to do anything worthwhile | Dec 18 02:40 |
| prurigro | but this was a year ago | Dec 18 02:41 |
| Sosumi | I was just alluring to offloading of tasks onto the gpu with programs like mathematica or matlab | Dec 18 02:42 |
| Sosumi | or your own tools/programs | Dec 18 02:43 |
| prurigro | hm, does osx let you do that? | Dec 18 02:43 |
| Sosumi | yep | Dec 18 02:44 |
| DaemonFC | I can't see the logic in paying $600 for a computer that won't be fully usable in a year, and won't even be supported in two. | Dec 18 02:44 |

| Sosumi | 600€? | Dec 18 02:45 |
| Sosumi | I wish | Dec 18 02:45 |
| prurigro | lol yeah, that's like the bottom of a mac mini | Dec 18 02:45 |
| Sosumi | more like 6000€ | Dec 18 02:45 |
| prurigro | erm | Dec 18 02:45 |
| Sosumi | mac mine is trash | Dec 18 02:45 |
| *sebsebseb thinks he lost that Ubuntu keyring and maybe some other stuff to, since was showing some stuff at this meeting earlier | Dec 18 02:45 | |
| prurigro | I haven't seen as low as $600, haven't seen as high as $6000 either tho | Dec 18 02:45 |
| Sosumi | that's because you've never looked at their workstations | Dec 18 02:46 |
| Sosumi | the ones that used to come with dual xeon and had expansion slots | Dec 18 02:46 |
| Sosumi | for example my fully maxed 2009 mac pro costed me 5500€ in 2009 | Dec 18 02:47 |

| Sosumi | but it ended up being cheaper than a similar HP Z workstation | Dec 18 02:48 |
| sebsebseb | first time in one as wel | Dec 18 02:48 |
| Sosumi | because of the education discount | Dec 18 02:48 |
| sebsebseb | prurigro: anyway there I was and | Dec 18 02:48 |
| sebsebseb | prurigro: I saw why I didn't just buy Mac etc | Dec 18 02:48 |
| sebsebseb | prurigro: the ignorant consumers looking at Micrsooft Offfice on Mac and things like that uh | Dec 18 02:49 |
| sebsebseb | and the bling draiwng people in | Dec 18 02:49 |

| prurigro | it was some 3rd party | Dec 18 02:51 |
| prurigro | I found the same one at one of the good computer shops in town for literally half the price | Dec 18 02:51 |
| prurigro | but "we were already there" | Dec 18 02:51 |
| prurigro | I suppose that's as much a ploy as anything else-- you never find an apple store next to a real computer place | Dec 18 02:52 |
| prurigro | man, he got a macbook air too | Dec 18 02:53 |
| prurigro | and like, I have the zenbook prime, which is basically the same size and weight as the air, and it was $200 cheaper | Dec 18 02:53 |
| prurigro | and everything in my laptop is better | Dec 18 02:53 |

| DaemonFC | It's actually pretty damned easy to get on a sex offender list. All you have to do is get a nude picture sent to your cell phone from someone that looks like they might be under 18. It doesn't matter if they *are* under 18, or if you consented to receive the picture. | Dec 18 10:08 |
| DaemonFC | Under federal law, all that matters is that a federal prosecutor can make the case that the person who sent you the (possibly unwanted) picture might look like they're under 18, if you squint just right. | Dec 18 10:08 |
| DaemonFC | The only reason that the state makes lists like these and legal requirements that could ensnare millions of people that didn't really even do anything wrong, is because they (a) want a huge prison population for our for-profit privatized prisons, and (b) they want them to be blackballed from gainful employment, so that they'll be back and make the private prison companies even more money. | Dec 18 10:10 |

| DaemonFC | My comment: | Dec 18 10:17 |
| DaemonFC | The Big Lie of the Republican Party and the right-wing Corporate Democrats is that Social Security and Medicare are causing the federal budget deficits. | Dec 18 10:17 |
| DaemonFC | In reality, the federal government OWES Social Security + Medicare over $5 trillion. | Dec 18 10:17 |
| DaemonFC | Why? They "borrowed" the money to hide the huge deficits caused by Reagan and Bush Jr.'s military spending. | Dec 18 10:17 |
| DaemonFC | I think Republican voters should be deported to Iraq or Afghanistan (their choice) to be reunited with their retirement money. | Dec 18 10:17 |
| *amarsh04 (~amarsh04@2001:44b8:61::d) has joined #techrights | Dec 18 10:18 | |
| DaemonFC | If you're under 50 now and paying Social Security and Medicare Tax, it's because your parents are voting for people like Republican Paul Ryan, which promise not to touch "theirs" (which is coming directly out of what you're paying now), and promising to screw you over instead. | Dec 18 10:20 |
| DaemonFC | 2 seconds ago | Dec 18 10:27 |
| DaemonFC | The truth is that ever since Ronald Reagan's crooks and cronies started talking about that "Social Security Lockbox" bullshit, they've been funneling the trust fund money out to cover military deficit spending. It's gotten so bad now that there is no "fund". They just directly rob Peter (age 35) to pay Paul (age 65). The trust fund "exists" as a ledger entry. | Dec 18 10:27 |
| DaemonFC | The only way to pay out the benefits that have been promised are to raise various taxes, so they're getting together to pitch benefit cuts instead. | Dec 18 10:27 |
| DaemonFC | That's where this Chained CPI thing came from. They're going to cover the shortfall they caused by quietly stealing $50,000 or so from each person's retirement money, and never paying out the first dime of "trust fund" money. | Dec 18 10:27 |
| DaemonFC | Clever that. And right-wing Corporate Democrats like Barack Obama and Erskine Bowles, along with the majority of Republicans, have convinced people that C-CPI is a "minor technical correction". | Dec 18 10:27 |
| DaemonFC | Social Security has these things called "Special Issue Treasury Securities". Basically, they all say that it's up to the US Treasury whether or not it wants to honor them. So far, it has done so. Thanks to the 2008 economic collapse, Social Security started paying out more than it was taking in years before anyone thought that it would. With something like 2-3 million people per month losing their jobs and not paying Social Security taxes | Dec 18 10:35 |
| DaemonFC | anymore during the last year of the Bush Administration, that was bound to happen. | Dec 18 10:35 |
| DaemonFC | Many of the people that lost their jobs still aren't employed. They found their way onto Social Security early, either by going on Early Retirement and taking the penalty, or by finding a way to get on Social Security Disability. With a lot of people in their 50s and 60s, who were not in good health, being fired, and having no future job opportunities, the Social Security Disability program was more or less forced to take them all in. These | Dec 18 10:35 |
| DaemonFC | people were at the point where they had limited employment options, but could manage to do the jobs they had, until they were fired. | Dec 18 10:35 |
| DaemonFC | You've got a 59 year old woman that has the beginnings of arthritis and a degenerative eye disease. Do you spend several years retraining her, or just put her on DI and let her wait out the next 6 years and then retire? | Dec 18 10:37 |
| DaemonFC | So, DI has become early retirement for a lot of these people. | Dec 18 10:38 |

| schestowitz__ | There are 2 things the USA does well ............ | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | Producing prisoners | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | Slavery | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | One day they will abolish something and then they will have less people to arrest as they will all be of a more equal standard. | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | Really does need a graph showing where the divide is ........ not that drugs and supplying them to your own people is a business - who knows who benefits from this ......... but we can all easily see who looks after the goods and the plants. | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | Which other country needs to build new roads in Afghanistan to keep the product flowing - especially when 3300 tonnes of it comes out of there each year. | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | Then in the Newspaper they report massive drugs bust of 10 tonnes. | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | What percentage is that of the overall amount - and the main question is - what ever are they doing that makes production go up each year ............ | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | If they could only build that into a business strategy for something good that produces something of less value but more ethical and moral ........... | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | But it always seems .......... Money the route of all evil ........... | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | The Land of the FREE - changes your mind about what you want - when you see that the FREE are never FREE in that country. | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | Even the Elite on their Golf Courses ...... trapped by routine and fear of losing money. | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | I have no problems with rich or poor ........ as both are under the very same system ......... | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | The fact that the system relies on making people into slaves and has no limits on how much of a slave each person becomes to money ( as this can be their own choice ) depending on one thing and one thing alone. | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | Their own decisions ......... | Dec 18 11:49 |
| schestowitz__ | Not taking drugs - not getting involved in drugs - not seeing the money signs flashing before their eyes and being fished out of a sea of people hoping that it will lead them to a better life .......... | Dec 18 11:50 |
| schestowitz__ | Reality is what we have ...... the reality ..... is shown in the article above. | Dec 18 11:50 |
| schestowitz__ | Ask how many are drug related and then ask if NSA spies on people and knows what they do and who they see - do they not also know every drug dealer and ever batch of these drugs has to be monitored to make sure no one rips them off. | Dec 18 11:50 |
| schestowitz__ | Big organization and big money .......... but its all for nothing. | Dec 18 11:50 |
| schestowitz__ | Destroys from the heart of the society .... giving little in return - other than that all famous Money ....... that in return buys more misery. | Dec 18 11:50 |
| schestowitz__ | Think its all coming together now #NSA #DRUGS #AFGHANISTAN #PRISON as CHEAP #SLAVE-LABOUR. | Dec 18 11:50 |
| schestowitz__ | The most startling fact ....... the lowest production of drugs was under the Taliban in 2001 ....... then things changed - just look at actions - no rhetoric really needed. | Dec 18 11:50 |

| iophk | it's relevant | Dec 18 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: might have lost smething from the bag of stuff | Dec 18 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | I had yesterday not suire quite | Dec 18 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | probably ok | Dec 18 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: Fedora worht having? | Dec 18 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | could get Fedora discs to | Dec 18 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | oh and the discs that's including for the remasterd distros | Dec 18 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | having a few offical ones | Dec 18 19:17 |
| iophk | Fedora is good but maybe not the best intro for beginners | Dec 18 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | yeah exactly that's why it's out as a remaster | Dec 18 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: might not be so keen on me ading in freebies of that to be honest I gues | Dec 18 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: what about CentOS I could get dics for that, but probably a bit silly | Dec 18 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I should probbly just stick to the stuff for those distro's :d | Dec 18 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | something Mageia | Dec 18 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | and | Dec 18 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | general thing like for Mozilla and a Libre Office flyer and the one about the LUG etc | Dec 18 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: event sticker get made to probaby | Dec 18 19:20 |
| iophk | what's on the sticker? | Dec 18 19:20 |
| sebsebseb | like what I sowed them probably if that | Dec 18 19:21 |
| sebsebseb | got to find out how much that costs etc | Dec 18 19:21 |
| sebsebseb | ,but the event name and a LUG | Dec 18 19:21 |
| sebsebseb | and a Tux probably | Dec 18 19:21 |
| iophk | Tux stickers are probably popular. | Dec 18 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | wel he gave one out at OGG Camp 13 | Dec 18 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | he made one | Dec 18 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | for that eent with thier LUG and a Tux | Dec 18 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | looks nice, so someting like that | Dec 18 19:24 |
| iophk | "Many companies using Linux pay Microsoft patent royalties for its operating system intellectual property{sic}. " | Dec 18 19:26 |
| sebsebseb | yeah openSUSE | Dec 18 19:27 |

| sebsebseb | iophk: would you go to Amsterdam after FOSDEM | Dec 18 19:27 |
| iophk | Probably, if I were going. | Dec 18 19:27 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: there's this guy going from USA frm the project after, but | Dec 18 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | I think if going from USA it makes sense | Dec 18 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | even when the wehater won't be that great etc | Dec 18 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: ,but when lviingg in Europe anyway well | Dec 18 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | I mean could fly when it's cheaper in the summer or something | Dec 18 19:28 |
| iophk | Amsterdam has a major airport, he may have to change planes there anyway. | Dec 18 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I am just a bit unsure if I want to join him or not as well | Dec 18 19:29 |
| iophk | If so, then it's no real extra cost (usually) to stay over a day or three. | Dec 18 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | I mean I'll go a day earier on the Thursday to meet him | Dec 18 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | ,but I probably won't really want to travel on the train on Sunday evening | Dec 18 19:30 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: plus he goes on the Thursday morning | Dec 18 19:30 |
| sebsebseb | so i I am still there, I won't get a plane untill the eening | Dec 18 19:30 |
| iophk | will you ride through the 'chunnel' ? | Dec 18 19:30 |
| sebsebseb | there's something going on on that THurday evening probably around here | Dec 18 19:30 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: no no Dover or wherever the tunnel went is a bit past ondon | Dec 18 19:30 |
| sebsebseb | yeah Dover | Dec 18 19:30 |
| sebsebseb | and London is like two hours or so away from here | Dec 18 19:30 |
| sebsebseb | the motorway etc | Dec 18 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: so it's better to just fly in my case | Dec 18 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | can go from the the air port nearish to here etc | Dec 18 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: that could be like two hours to get to whatever train to get to France etc | Dec 18 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | qucker and easier to just fly | Dec 18 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: he's going to some hotel in Amsterdam on the Sunday evening | Dec 18 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | that has a sports bar | Dec 18 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | and watch the super bowel | Dec 18 19:32 |
| iophk | boooring | Dec 18 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I don't really have any interest in the super bowl as such, since not American | Dec 18 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | oh you don't watch that? | Dec 18 19:33 |
| iophk | no | Dec 18 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | to geeky? | Dec 18 19:33 |
| iophk | no it's too boring. | Dec 18 19:33 |
| iophk | No action. | Dec 18 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: he's quite a lot older this guy I could join in a way, but | Dec 18 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | that's more hotel cost and travel hasle a bit an all that you know | Dec 18 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | and I don't want to watch the super bowl particuarlly like he does | Dec 18 19:33 |
| iophk | best to skip it then | Dec 18 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | plus he would leave on Thurday morning, with me still being thre, beause not raely a early moring prson | Dec 18 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: yeah and what you going to do in Amsterdam, the weahter could be like it is here right now | Dec 18 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | windy with a lot of rain | Dec 18 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | or it could be snowey or something | Dec 18 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I could go backo n the Wednesdy if I wre to I gues, but it seems a bit pointless | Dec 18 19:35 |
| iophk | Anything you want to see in Belgium? | Dec 18 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | Amsterdam would be nice to go to though, but in the summer :) | Dec 18 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | been to other parts of Belguim already, but I am stuck in the city I think for this trip really again, but that's ok | Dec 18 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: Monday may get a bit boring | Dec 18 19:36 |
| sebsebseb | and Sunday evening | Dec 18 19:36 |
| sebsebseb | if stll there | Dec 18 19:36 |
| sebsebseb | ,but | Dec 18 19:36 |
| sebsebseb | depends | Dec 18 19:36 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: then may not want to do same things in Amsterdam really anyway and so on | Dec 18 19:38 |
| sebsebseb | so probably better to not go there with him | Dec 18 19:38 |
| iophk | probably not | Dec 18 19:39 |
| sebsebseb | plus I want to be back on that Thursday eening around here really, because of something that's going on | Dec 18 19:39 |
| sebsebseb | I am going to book my fligght soon | Dec 18 19:39 |

| TechrightsBot-tr | www.bloomberg.com | North Carolina Shows How to Crush the Unemployed - Bloomberg [ http://ur1.ca/g7zkh ] | Dec 19 07:42 |
| DaemonFC | North Carolina's Republican government has abandoned the unemployed by rejecting more federal funds for emergency unemployment benefits. | Dec 19 07:42 |
| DaemonFC | So, North Carolina offers us a glimpse at what will happen nationally when the Republicans succeed in doing it to 1.3 million more people across the country in a few more days. | Dec 19 07:42 |
| DaemonFC | North Carolina's Republicans have unintentionally proven that unemployment income doesn't discourage people from looking for work, but that losing that income discourages them to quit looking for work permanently. | Dec 19 07:42 |
| DaemonFC | Since receiving UI requires people to actively look for work and prove that they are doing it, the incentive to look for work is built into the system. Since North Carolina cut off unemployment benefits, 77,000 people there quit looking for any kind of work at all. | Dec 19 07:42 |
| DaemonFC | What's depressing about this is that since they gave up, they'll no longer count as unemployed, and the Republican Party can point to lower "unemployment" numbers as proof that their cruel UI cuts are "working". | Dec 19 07:42 |
| DaemonFC | I emailed that one to Richard Stallman. | Dec 19 07:47 |
| DaemonFC | I edited it to add the line "There's no reason to when there are no jobs for them, and they're not going to receive a dime for trying to look for one anyway." | Dec 19 07:47 |

| DaemonFC | I used to purchase and recommend Samsung products, but there's some problems with them, and the company. | Dec 19 08:51 |
| DaemonFC | 1. I basically had to pull teeth to get them to release source code to some binary programs they had distributed, when the source code was under the General Public License, which gives users the right to demand the source code under the same terms. | Dec 19 08:51 |
| DaemonFC | 2. At least one Galaxy S4 phone caught fire while someone was charging it. Instead of admitting the problem and offering him a free replacement, Samsung used a bogus Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaint to get his Youtube video of him talking about what happened taken down. | Dec 19 08:51 |
| DaemonFC | 3. Samsung has been caught cheating on performance benchmark sites, to make their phones seem faster than they really are. | Dec 19 08:51 |

| DaemonFC | The federal CAFE standards, which will eventually require the US fleet to have the average fuel economy of a Toyota Prius, are admirable, but we need to get away from the gasoline engine completely. | Dec 19 11:10 |
| DaemonFC | There is only so much energy potential in a gallon of gasiline. Even modern "efficient" internal combustion engines waste almost 80% of that energy. That's only a slight improvement from the 1990s, when the internal combustion engines wasted about 85% of the energy potential of gasoline. | Dec 19 11:10 |
| DaemonFC | Eventually, it will be impossible for engines to become more efficient, or for a car's weight to be reduced. Demand pressure for fossil fuels is growing faster than the market for lighter and more efficient cars is, as the already-unsustainable human population of Earth continues to rise. | Dec 19 11:10 |
| DaemonFC | 20 years ago, a gallon of gasoline was 90 cents a gallon. Maybe $1 on a bad day. 20 years from now, you can expect to pay $7-8 per gallon. | Dec 19 11:10 |
| DaemonFC | What would it take for the price to go down? We need population decline, to reduce the demand pressure, or to move to alternative and renewable energy sources. | Dec 19 11:10 |

| DaemonFC | Ford said that they removed the Crown Victoria from their line up because it doesn't fit their customers anymore. | Dec 19 11:32 |
| DaemonFC | I love my 1996 model. I's very roomy, and it has good acceleration. There's room for improvement. I think that if they brought back the body on frame Panther platform with Front Wheel Drive and a 3.8 liter DOHC Ecoboost V6, that they'd be selling like hotcakes. | Dec 19 11:32 |
| DaemonFC | The two things that really dated the car were Rear Wheel Drive and a V8 that didn't exactly sip gas. Updating the platform to fix those issues seems really easy to me. | Dec 19 11:32 |

| MinceR | :) | Dec 19 11:57 |
| DaemonFC | Everything here has gotten worse since 1996. | Dec 19 11:57 |
| DaemonFC | The United States economy hit its peak in the late 1990s. | Dec 19 11:58 |
| DaemonFC | 2000-2005 was "decent" to most people. | Dec 19 11:58 |
| DaemonFC | Around 2006, it was in obvious decline for most people, and the bottom fell out in 2008, of course. | Dec 19 11:58 |
| DaemonFC | Obesity rates have gone up as household income has gone down. | Dec 19 11:59 |
| DaemonFC | Some people figure that this is because cheap food is highly processed, and has more calories. I suppose that's a reasonable explanation. | Dec 19 11:59 |
| MinceR | indeed | Dec 19 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think the economy was doing well in the 1990s because we had exceptionally good leadership in the public sector. | Dec 19 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | It was a number of factors that all came together at the same time. | Dec 19 12:00 |
| MinceR | there's also that lower income results in worse life, and eating is a way to make oneself a big happier | Dec 19 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah. I try to cap the food budget at $7-8 per day. | Dec 19 12:01 |
| DaemonFC | In 2004, you could do well on $5 per day, but inflation has driven up food prices a lot. | Dec 19 12:01 |
| DaemonFC | I've thrown out some of the things that were causing a huge drag on my monthly budget, like cable TV. | Dec 19 12:02 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not alone there. | Dec 19 12:03 |
| DaemonFC | Cable TV has been losing about 1-2 million subscribers in the US each year for about the past 5 years. | Dec 19 12:03 |
| DaemonFC | That's not a bad thing though. | Dec 19 12:04 |
| DaemonFC | You have more money for stuff you need/want more, and it limits your exposure to bullshit by cutting off the direct bullshit pipeline of corporate news. | Dec 19 12:04 |
| DaemonFC | So, cutting off cable TV and getting tough on my ISP returned about $120 a month to my budget. | Dec 19 12:05 |
| DaemonFC | That was a welcome relief. | Dec 19 12:06 |

| DaemonFC | MinceR: The 4.6 V8 in my car actually gets decent gas mileage considering that it's a big V8 from the 1990s. | Dec 19 12:09 |
| DaemonFC | I'm getting about 21 mpg on the highway. | Dec 19 12:09 |
| DaemonFC | That's not terrible. | Dec 19 12:09 |
| DaemonFC | The previous engine, the 5 liter V8 with the carburetor, really guzzled gas. | Dec 19 12:10 |
| DaemonFC | That was the one that Ford stopped using in the 1992 model year. | Dec 19 12:10 |

| DaemonFC | The 2011 didn't do a lot better than the 1992. | Dec 19 12:14 |
| DaemonFC | 1 mpg improvement, pfft. | Dec 19 12:14 |
| DaemonFC | So, model year isn't a huge factor when you're considering gas mileage on that car. | Dec 19 12:14 |
| DaemonFC | Anything after 1992 gets about the same mileage. | Dec 19 12:14 |

| TechrightsBot-tr | answers.yahoo.com | What would happen if someone put e85 in a non-e85 vehicle? [ http://ur1.ca/g80jj ] | Dec 19 12:17 |
| DaemonFC | If you did that by mistake, the best thing to do would just be to drive it until it's at about an eighth of a tank, and then refill on regular 87 octane gasoline. | Dec 19 12:17 |
| DaemonFC | Doing it once shouldn't do much harm. | Dec 19 12:17 |
| DaemonFC | If you run it like that constantly, you'll have problems eventually. | Dec 19 12:18 |
| DaemonFC | People were trying to use E85 in non-FFVs for a while because the economy sucked and gas prices rose above $4 a gallon. | Dec 19 12:18 |
| MinceR | i don't think they sell 87 octane gasoline here at all :> | Dec 19 12:18 |
| MinceR | it's just 95, 98, 99 | Dec 19 12:18 |
| DaemonFC | But it's bad for the car, and you lose about 30% of your fuel mileage. | Dec 19 12:18 |
| DaemonFC | So it's really costing you more, even if your car can run on it. | Dec 19 12:19 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: That's odd. | Dec 19 12:19 |
| DaemonFC | Here, it's usually 87, 89, and 91. | Dec 19 12:19 |
| DaemonFC | Some stations sell 93 or 94. | Dec 19 12:19 |
| DaemonFC | If you get out into the mountains in Colorado, you might see 86. | Dec 19 12:20 |
| DaemonFC | Running your car on 86 shouldn't hurt anything. | Dec 19 12:20 |
| DaemonFC | I used to run mine on 86, because the station near my house offered it as "economy" gasoline. | Dec 19 12:20 |
| DaemonFC | It was usually 3-4 cents per gallon cheaper. | Dec 19 12:21 |
| DaemonFC | They got rid of it though, so I use 87 now. | Dec 19 12:21 |
| DaemonFC | The danger of using low octane gas is that your engine could start to knock and ping. | Dec 19 12:21 |
| MinceR | i think they tend to recommend 95 here for everything that runs on gas | Dec 19 12:21 |
| MinceR | we used 98 on our old crap commie imitation cars while we used them | Dec 19 12:22 |
| MinceR | now 98 and 99 are extra-expensive special gas with special add-ons or whatever | Dec 19 12:22 |
| DaemonFC | Well, the PCM on cars of the last 20-25 years should be able to adjust the timing appropriately, to avoid knocks and pings. | Dec 19 12:22 |
| MinceR | i wasn't really convinced they're worth the extra expense | Dec 19 12:22 |
| MinceR | indeed. | Dec 19 12:22 |
| DaemonFC | You're really just wasting money if you use higher octane fuel than the manual recommends. | Dec 19 12:22 |
| MinceR | i suspect the commie imitation cars couldn't adjust the timing at all. | Dec 19 12:23 |
| DaemonFC | You could. | Dec 19 12:23 |
| MinceR | at least not automatically | Dec 19 12:23 |
| DaemonFC | You had to do it manually though. If you're talking about cars with carburetors. | Dec 19 12:23 |
| DaemonFC | They had a timing screw. | Dec 19 12:23 |
| MinceR | indeed. | Dec 19 12:23 |
| DaemonFC | New cars do it on the fly. | Dec 19 12:24 |
| DaemonFC | I think they really should bring back 86 octane gas. | Dec 19 12:24 |
| DaemonFC | If it saves a nickel a gallon and modern cars run fine on it, why not sell it? :) | Dec 19 12:24 |
| DaemonFC | If you burn a tank of gas every week, that's $52 a year in savings. | Dec 19 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | That would help the economy, because each person would have an extra $52 to go spend on something that's not gasoline. | Dec 19 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | Well, they do blend it with ethanol now. | Dec 19 12:26 |
| DaemonFC | The EPA is going to mandate 15% ethanol very soon. | Dec 19 12:27 |
| DaemonFC | So really, they probably are using 84 or 85 octane gas, and selling it as 87, because the ethanol brings up the octane rating. | Dec 19 12:27 |
| DaemonFC | The lady that I bought this car from told me that she always used 94 octane gas. | Dec 19 12:28 |
| DaemonFC | I didn't have the heart to tell her that was a waste of money. | Dec 19 12:28 |
| DaemonFC | She was probably spending another $80-90 a year due to that. | Dec 19 12:28 |

| DaemonFC | This turned out to be an interesting bug. | Dec 19 12:29 |
| DaemonFC | I reported it a while back. | Dec 19 12:29 |
| MinceR | i think they do sell E85 here | Dec 19 12:29 |
| DaemonFC | Later on, someone else posted this: | Dec 19 12:30 |
| MinceR | never used it, my car isn't designed for it | Dec 19 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | "In short: Opera Next seems to employ a process sandboxing scheme by low-level hooking several native API (Ntxxx) expecting NT-style entry point layout. | Dec 19 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | The way the hooking is done won't work for Wine." | Dec 19 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | So, is that something that Chromium is doing? | Dec 19 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | Probably. | Dec 19 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | The Chromium sandbox on Windows is completely different than the one they use on GNU/Linux. | Dec 19 12:30 |
| MinceR | they developed crashe in an extremely winblows-centric mindset, without any foresight | Dec 19 12:31 |
| MinceR | and then they had to port it to other platforms | Dec 19 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | That's interesting, that they're using the NT Native API. | Dec 19 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | That's almost totally (officially) undocumented. | Dec 19 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | Most of what is known about it has been discovered without any help or official documentation from Microsoft. | Dec 19 12:32 |
| MinceR | ironically, even to chrome os and android | Dec 19 12:32 |
| MinceR | well, that's the way of the winblows developer | Dec 19 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | The Mozilla platform was truly portable from the beginning. | Dec 19 12:32 |
| MinceR | since this fancy "documentation" thing isn't exactly well known to the folks at redmond | Dec 19 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | At first, Google ONLY developed Chrome for Windows. | Dec 19 12:32 |
| MinceR | i know | Dec 19 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | They only worried about porting it much later. | Dec 19 12:33 |
| MinceR | and it was utterly stupid. | Dec 19 12:33 |
| DaemonFC | So they had to go back and redo a lot of the really fucking stupid things they did. | Dec 19 12:33 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: Microsoft didn't document it because they don't want people using it. | Dec 19 12:33 |
| MinceR | indeed | Dec 19 12:33 |
| MinceR | they don't want anyone but m$ developing software, ever | Dec 19 12:34 |
| MinceR | if what they do can be called "developing", anyway | Dec 19 12:34 |
| DaemonFC | They want people to develop software using Win32. | Dec 19 12:34 |
| MinceR | no, they want people to depend on m$ for everything, including applications | Dec 19 12:36 |

| schestowitz__ | So ... this is still based on the RPM package format, but has different dependency-resolving methods? | Dec 19 17:48 |
| schestowitz__ | My experience with RPM (long, though minimized to the extent possible) leaves me with a few observations: | Dec 19 17:48 |
| schestowitz__ | The dependency on a specific binary format (as opposed to DEBs which are a structure of tar, gzip, and ar) means that specific tools are required to unpack the packages. Though this isn't typically an issue, there are times it works against the model. | Dec 19 17:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Dependency resolution in general is poorer than APT/DEB-based systems. Mandriva presents an interesting contrast (RPM package format, APT package management). | Dec 19 17:48 |
| schestowitz__ | The real problem with RPM isn't the package management tools. It's the lack of a coherent policy governing packages. And among the worst offenders is Red Hat itself. | Dec 19 17:48 |

| msb_ | Lucid dreaming is the waking up of the left-brain while we're dreaming (a state in which the right-brain is normally in control). | Dec 20 10:51 |
| iophk | Again, there is no "left" brain / "right" brain dichotomy as you are describing it. A trip to the university library to check out a neurobiology text will show that. | Dec 20 10:52 |
| msb_ | There are various methods of inducing lucid dreaming, many of which involve noticing clues in the dream about rationality and left-brain (linear) awareness. | Dec 20 10:52 |
| msb_ | Sorry iophk. Please read Wright's book, and begin by reading his interview and watching his video, linked above. | Dec 20 10:53 |
| iophk | No. | Dec 20 10:53 |
| iophk | Left-right has been debunked long ago, | Dec 20 10:54 |
| iophk | It was pop-pschology and is passed. | Dec 20 10:54 |

| msb_ | If you never access information that disagrees with what you already believe, you will never learn anything new. | Dec 20 10:54 |
| iophk | It's not a matter of disagreement it is a matter of wrong. | Dec 20 10:54 |
| iophk | Lucid dreaming is a valid technique. It just that the explanation is different. | Dec 20 10:55 |
| msb_ | Anyhow, to continue, I think the solution for humankind's problem is to awaken the right-brain during waking hours, when the left-brain is dominant. | Dec 20 10:55 |
| iophk | I took the time to look that stuff up long ago. Do the courtesy to do the same. | Dec 20 10:56 |
| iophk | faux science is a pox. | Dec 20 10:56 |

| *dyfet has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Dec 20 10:56 | |
| msb_ | One way to do this is to look for hints of right-brain operation -- associations, emotions, empathy, lyrical thoughts -- and follow and enhance them. This is analogous to the methods of achieving lucid dreaming. | Dec 20 10:57 |
| msb_ | Nutritional methods are also necessary -- adding bioflavonoids to the diet -- I've been taking 1 gram of citrus bioflavonoids per day for several weeks, | Dec 20 10:58 |

| msb_ | If the CME wrecks the big power transformers used by long transmission lines, it may take a few years to make new ones. Apparently there aren't many (or maybe any) spares. | Dec 20 11:48 |
| msb_ | Hopefully Diesel tank trucks can deliver water, if they don't have essential electronics that get fried. | Dec 20 11:50 |
| iophk | That's a lot of water. Are there enough bodies in the army reserves to carry that out even for a short time? | Dec 20 11:51 |

| msb_ | A review in amazon says " there have never been any human cultures free of war, of greed, or of prescribed gender roles. " | Dec 20 12:22 |
| msb_ | It's BS. | Dec 20 12:23 |
| msb_ | The Chalice and the Blade mentions a drawing, in clay I think, of a man brandishing a spear (according to male archaeologists). | Dec 20 12:24 |
| msb_ | Female scientists noted that the "barbs" on the "spear" were facing the wrong way, opening outward instead of inward toward the person holding it, who, by the way, had breasts. | Dec 20 12:25 |
| msb_ | It was actually a woman waving a tree branch, celebrating the plant basis of life. | Dec 20 12:26 |
| msb_ | Yes, human infants are not a blank slate. We have instinctive needs and desires. | Dec 20 12:27 |
| msb_ | But if infants are treated with kindness, and not exposed to psychopathic culture, they turn out kind, empathic, friendly. | Dec 20 12:27 |
| msb_ | Most cultures prior to 5,000 years ago were like that -- "Partnership Cultures" -- men and women had equal status. | Dec 20 12:28 |
| msb_ | The last such culture to survive attacks by the dominators were the Minoans, about 2,500 years ago, IIRC. | Dec 20 12:29 |
| MinceR | it's nice to knock a book after reading a single random review | Dec 20 12:31 |

| msb_ | Cut a child's penis or clitoris, tell them there's an invisible male god who will kill them if they don't worship him, tell them they're surrounded by enemies, and you wreck most children for life. | Dec 20 12:31 |
| msb_ | Apparently he says sexual shame is instinctive. Crap! | Dec 20 12:32 |
| msb_ | I'll bet he's very popular on corporate TV and radio. | Dec 20 12:33 |
| msb_ | Those who justify fascism always are, because the corporate media are owned by the mega-fascists. | Dec 20 12:34 |
| MinceR | afaik he's not exactly popular | Dec 20 12:35 |
| msb_ | Apparently he has 3 books out. | Dec 20 12:36 |
| msb_ | Even anatomical psychopaths would not be given power in a partnership culture. | Dec 20 12:38 |
| msb_ | And there would be no induced psychopaths. | Dec 20 12:38 |
| MinceR | what are you talking about? | Dec 20 12:38 |
| msb_ | Some psychopaths have brain abnormalities, in which the part of the brain that mediates empathy is malformed or not connected. | Dec 20 12:39 |
| msb_ | The rest are induced -- programmed -- by cruel child-rearing and the other influences I mentioned above. | Dec 20 12:40 |
| msb_ | Think what years of watching people attack and murder people on TV does to children. | Dec 20 12:40 |
| MinceR | yeah, let's blame tv and movies | Dec 20 12:41 |
| msb_ | Parents just park their kids in front of that poison. | Dec 20 12:41 |

| msb_ | People are programmable, like computers. | Dec 20 12:44 |
| msb_ | MinceR: If they're programmed by culture to shoot someone with a gun, the whole question of who is innocent or evil is an oversimplification. | Dec 20 12:45 |
| MinceR | and considering people to be mindless, programmable automatons is not an oversimplification? | Dec 20 12:45 |
| msb_ | It's a gestalt phenomenon. | Dec 20 12:46 |

| MinceR | indeed | Dec 20 12:48 |
| MinceR | though some people have managed to resist such "programming" | Dec 20 12:49 |
| msb_ | Yes. | Dec 20 12:49 |
| msb_ | Fortunately I encountered Reich's books in my teens. | Dec 20 12:49 |

| msb_ | Ubiquinol is so much easier to take than ubiquinone (the usual CoQ-10). Doesn't have to be mixed with fish oil. And it's 3x as potent. | Dec 20 12:56 |
| msb_ | Because better absorbed. It is the biologically active form. The quinone has to be converted - reduced - by Vitamin E or some other reductant, which uses up your stores. of it. | Dec 20 12:58 |

| MinceR | their alleged "anti-malware" efforts started with stopping detecting claria as malware just as they were about to buy it, so i don't know why anyone trusts them with such | Dec 21 00:28 |
| MinceR | m$ manages to out-sleaze even the other "antivirus" companies | Dec 21 00:28 |
| Sosumi | they don't detect NSA backdoors as malware | Dec 21 00:28 |
| Sosumi | so why trust them? :) | Dec 21 00:28 |
| MinceR | we could keep going :> | Dec 21 00:29 |
| Sosumi | yeah :P | Dec 21 00:29 |
| Sosumi | also the RSA thing is kind of sad joke | Dec 21 00:29 |
| Sosumi | of we knew in the past, as in confirmed, the some keys were cracked | Dec 21 00:30 |
| Sosumi | but having the NSA pay 10million | Dec 21 00:30 |
| Sosumi | lawl | Dec 21 00:30 |
| MinceR | as for RSA, they kept silent when their token secrets were stolen | Dec 21 00:31 |
| Sosumi | now I know I really should "ace" my math to wizard level | Dec 21 00:31 |
| MinceR | so they were never trustworthy either | Dec 21 00:31 |
| Sosumi | so I can make awesome encryption algos and have the NSA pay me for a backdoor | Dec 21 00:31 |
| Sosumi | that way I'll be able to afford my DBS | Dec 21 00:32 |
| Sosumi | ofc that I'm joking about the middle part | Dec 21 00:32 |

| DaemonFC | I'm a reasonably physically healthy 29 year old man with no blood borne diseases. I have a blood type that can be accepted by pretty much everyone on Earth. I have been permanently banned from donating blood, plasma, and organs because I am gay. | Dec 15 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | Think about that, the next time a disaster happens, thousands of people are bleeding, and the Red Cross can't get enough of you to donate blood. | Dec 15 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | If I die, they will allow perfectly usable organs to rot. Think about that, the next time you know someone that needs an eye, heart, lung, liver, kidney, etc. and can't get one. | Dec 15 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | Then thank the Republican Party, right-wing homophobia, and a CDC policy that dates back to the Reagan 80s and is based on fear, not science. | Dec 15 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | Then pat yourselves on the back, if you think I should still be banned, for letting other people die. | Dec 15 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | I am tired of this shit. Tired of this shit. When are people going to wake up and smell reality? | Dec 15 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | When you go down to the centers where they collect blood and plasma, and pay people to donate, look around. These are college students. These are alcoholics. These are people who you know are probably having unprotected sex. Since they're straight, we have a national policy to let them donate anyway. They're more of a risk to public health than I am. The Red Cross tests *EVERY* blood sample donated. Every single one. *If* a donor has HIV, the | Dec 15 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | fourth generation tests that they use will usually catch it within five days of infection. That's how good the tests are. All they really have to ask people now is the following question. | Dec 15 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | "Have you had unprotected sex, with anyone, in the last week?" | Dec 15 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | But, we have this stupid paranoia that is causing people to die because of blood, plasma, and organ shortages. STUPID people and their STUPID public policy are letting this continue, because they have irrational, illogical prejudices. That's all that's keeping this policy around now that we have modern medical science. | Dec 15 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | 24 seconds ago | Dec 15 02:10 |
| DaemonFC | Please contact the Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767, and tell them "It's time to end the ban on blood, plasma, tissue, and organ donations from gay and bisexual men.

Please replace your questions about sex partners with one that simply asks everyone if they've had unprotected sex recently. You are allowing straight people who have unprotected sex with an unlimited | Dec 15 02:10 |

| oiaohm | iophk: yes its funny. | Dec 15 11:17 |
| oiaohm | iophk: google already has you sniffed anyhow. | Dec 15 11:18 |
| oiaohm | iophk: the fact they are blocking thrid parties from sniffing I wonder if we will see a anti-trust case against google. | Dec 15 11:18 |
| iophk | yes they have all the info, but the new settings allow spammers and others to track also | Dec 15 11:18 |
| iophk | Anti-trust probably doesn't apply here. | Dec 15 11:19 |
| oiaohm | iophk: if you look closer no it does not. | Dec 15 11:19 |
| oiaohm | Google is acting as the middle man. | Dec 15 11:19 |
| oiaohm | So third parties only see that a google server collected the image then cached it. | Dec 15 11:20 |
| iophk | yes but at some time they might start really abusing their control or position first-hand | Dec 15 11:20 |
| iophk | then anti-trust would apply. | Dec 15 11:20 |
| iophk | But anti-trust has been slow and weak in recent decades. | Dec 15 11:20 |
| oiaohm | Note most spam email is balk identical. | Dec 15 11:20 |
| oiaohm | So identical images and links inside. | Dec 15 11:21 |
| oiaohm | What google is doing to track spammer will have todo per email emails. | Dec 15 11:21 |
| iophk | gmail's non-javascript configuration interface does not allow disabling of remote images. | Dec 15 11:23 |
| oiaohm | iophk: the thing here is they are no longer remote. | Dec 15 11:23 |
| iophk | remote and local at the same time | Dec 15 11:23 |
| oiaohm | They are from google servers same servers you are going to for your email. | Dec 15 11:23 |
| iophk | the cache is a proxy | Dec 15 11:23 |
| oiaohm | iophk: the proxy is a filter. | Dec 15 11:23 |
| oiaohm | The address you are using to the google proxy is a google unique address. | Dec 15 11:24 |
| oiaohm | So no cookies from target or any other marker get to you. | Dec 15 11:24 |
| iophk | No. Just if the have sent unique urls. | Dec 15 11:25 |
| oiaohm | iophk: they never got you ip address | Dec 15 11:25 |
| oiaohm | They never got to set cookies in your browser. | Dec 15 11:25 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Dec 15 11:25 | |
| oiaohm | If they sent unique url all they get is that your email is active. | Dec 15 11:25 |
| iophk | Yes, that can be bad enough. | Dec 15 11:26 |
| oiaohm | iophk: and maybe not that. | Dec 15 11:26 |
| iophk | Too bad the politicians did not take the problem of spam seriously at the end of the 90's | Dec 15 11:26 |
| oiaohm | iophk: why google bot is the one collecting the data. | Dec 15 11:26 |
| oiaohm | So end person is left guessing. | Dec 15 11:26 |
| oiaohm | Was it some random luck that google bot found it. | Dec 15 11:27 |
| oiaohm | iophk: now the other thing google may not wait for you to open the email to collect the images either. | Dec 15 11:27 |
| oiaohm | iophk: this is the complete problem for the spammers. | Dec 15 11:28 |
| oiaohm | Remember they are paid on click and paid on view and so on. | Dec 15 11:28 |
| oiaohm | Google alteration undoes there means to prove viewed. | Dec 15 11:28 |
| iophk | only if the cache preloads the image | Dec 15 11:30 |
| iophk | if the cache loads only on demand then it shows that the user has viewed the image | Dec 15 11:30 |
| oiaohm | iophk: and the current configuation it does preload the iamge. | Dec 15 11:30 |
| iophk | or at least opened the spam | Dec 15 11:30 |
| oiaohm | iophk: google is virus scanning. | Dec 15 11:31 |
| iophk | the new default is to load the remote images. That was just changed. | Dec 15 11:31 |
| oiaohm | by proxy. | Dec 15 11:31 |
| oiaohm | But for person bandwidth I still would like an option for images off. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| iophk | Yes, load them by proxy, but load them by default. It's there in Gmail's settings. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| iophk | Images off completely would be best. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| iophk | HTML mail is a pox. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| oiaohm | iophk: for ID malware hidden scanning the images is required. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| oiaohm | Not everyone is using google web client. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| oiaohm | with gmail. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| iophk | I'm pretty sure 100% can be deleted automatically without losing anything. | Dec 15 11:32 |
| oiaohm | The proxy is a google gmail secuirty upgrade. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| oiaohm | deeper and more complete scanning of email. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| oiaohm | Now of course that is good and bad. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| oiaohm | Bad for malware and spammers. | Dec 15 11:33 |
| oiaohm | Bad for NSA collected information from google. | Dec 15 11:34 |
| oiaohm | Good for letting less viruses and malware past. | Dec 15 11:34 |
| oiaohm | iophk: basically I see good and bad in what google has just done. | Dec 15 11:35 |
| iophk | yes, it has those advantages | Dec 15 11:36 |
| iophk | NSA can just get info direct from Google's servers, the proxy won't affect much if anything. | Dec 15 11:36 |
| oiaohm | Bad is more bandwidth used between user and google checking mail. | Dec 15 11:36 |
| oiaohm | iophk: other than the fact NSA knows from google when you viewed those emails. | Dec 15 11:46 |
| oiaohm | iophk: including the images. | Dec 15 11:46 |

| schestowitz_bed2 | This is why I don't like Android - non free apps have been able to rape users all along. All the apps wanted everything and it was impossible to do things without an actual cell phone number. I don't know what magic Google has to keep an app from making a copy of my addressbook or from capturing a password that would give full access to my email, but I imagine it's full of holes. | Dec 15 19:23 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | The phone companies are the worst. It was impossible for me to get VOIP without having a "real" phone number from a damn SIM card. Even Google voice was like this. Hangouts worked for other G+ users. You just can't connect to the phone system with it unless you have a phone line. | Dec 15 19:23 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | Particularly disgusting was Vonnage, which I use at home without a phone line. I would have thought the company would be happy with me identifying myself and putting their crappy binary on my phone. The program even had a preference that would make it wifi only. Just the same, it demanded my cell phone's number to finish verifying who I was. | Dec 15 19:23 |

| schestowitz_bed2 | I'm looking to replace my current smartphone, and the best option I seem to find at present is to | Dec 15 19:24 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | Get a "dumb" featurephone. The biggest problem of which is that I've grown rather addicted to one particular Android app: an effing call screening tool (though those are about the most intrusive of all privacy-invasion apps). I really effing hate being interrupted by phone calls, especially from absolute strangers. And shutting the damned thing off all the time isn't quite an option. | Dec 15 19:24 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | Get a tablet, preferably one capable of loading a custom mod and/or actual Linux load (what's the state of those -- Ubuntu's been making noises, and I think there's a couple of other alternatives). A phone is, ultimately, a little too small to be useful for content. A tablet just noses in for dealing with content.

| msb_ | There's now a fix for the youtube "VEVO" problem, where videos marked "VEVO" can't be downloaded. VEVO is some huge copyright-pig corporation. | Dec 16 13:08 |

| msb_ | Videos that used to download fine with DH, are now marked VEVO and won't download with DH. Same url and everything. | Dec 16 13:31 |
| msb_ | That article by Falkvinge in TF above is very good. The censorship starts with music and movies, and then is rapidly used to stop political advocacy and organizing. | Dec 16 13:34 |
| msb_ | The psychopaths that want to rule the world (and almost do) know that people's most important weapon is communication. | Dec 16 13:36 |

| msb_ | Yes. As if someone's sexuality is anyone else's business. | Dec 16 13:47 |
| msb_ | But the anti-sexual Judeo-Christian-Islamic religion was one of the earliest means of brainwashing and controlling people. | Dec 16 13:48 |

| sebsebseb | ,but not to bad I think | Dec 16 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | from what I seen of proposals | Dec 16 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | ,but so not Fedora style for example | Dec 16 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | well it's either one of those, or the old background it seems | Dec 16 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: don't need to fancy for a default look really anyway I guess | Dec 16 19:53 |

| sebsebseb | so I think Hurd sticker is out to then | Dec 16 20:02 |
| iophk | Maybe one flier describing common apps.? | Dec 16 20:02 |
| sebsebseb | for example | Dec 16 20:02 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: oh they wil have a vidoe in the meeting room | Dec 16 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | explaining some stuff in video | Dec 16 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | ,but having someflyers could be good to | Dec 16 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | FSF Europe has a nice on explaining aout free software and such | Dec 16 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | that kind of thing I am thinking | Dec 16 20:03 |
| iophk | yes there were some ideas in your notes from the other month about what to put on the video | Dec 16 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | oh they are just showing the desktops and how to openapps up etc | Dec 16 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | he made a sample video idea | Dec 16 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | may just make own using a screencast someone | Dec 16 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: Mageia isn't one of the distros now, and GNOME 3 isn't one of the interfaces now, so I don't care that much about those videos now | Dec 16 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | let them make something for their three choosen distros and interfaces I am thinking | Dec 16 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | yep their not my really, I wanted a fourth and you know what that is | Dec 16 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | I guess ended up taking it's spot as one of the three really, but odd not to have Ubuntu for that kind of event I think | Dec 16 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | I guess Ubuntu above | Dec 16 20:05 |
| iophk | Maybe Ubuntu in the swag? | Dec 16 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: willl be interesting to see if not so technial users like Unityor not | Dec 16 20:07 |
| iophk | Some do, some don't | Dec 16 20:07 |
| sebsebseb | nope it's been dieced theose three distros I told you about | Dec 16 20:07 |
| sebsebseb | and that's that it seems | Dec 16 20:07 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: having good stuff to igive out is importan I Think | Dec 16 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | people like picking up free stuff at events | Dec 16 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | a lot do | Dec 16 20:08 |
| iophk | That's why the DVDs / CDs are an ok choice. | Dec 16 20:09 |
| iophk | Also, as we talked about, they can't be overwritten. | Dec 16 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | wel seems there may be CD's and DVd's for distors to | Dec 16 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | offical ones | Dec 16 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | there was a mention of getting some Ubuntu CD's etc, and something abobut covers for cd's possibly making some | Dec 16 20:09 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: yep should be goodfor merchandice this I Think | Dec 16 20:11 |
| sebsebseb | for freebies | Dec 16 20:11 |
| sebsebseb | espeicaly if I am mainly in charge of that :) | Dec 16 20:11 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: so do you think a flyer about what opensource/freesoftware is | Dec 16 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | is a good idea? | Dec 16 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | explained in a not so technical way | Dec 16 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | FSFE has one | Dec 16 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | then it's also about joining FFSFE etc, so I was thinking something similar to that possibly | Dec 16 20:12 |
| iophk | yes, cover some of the apps they will find useful | Dec 16 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | also one about the LUGcould be good | Dec 16 20:12 |
| iophk | firefox, thunderbird, vlc, libreoffice, | Dec 16 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | I got some some hwre for another LUG | Dec 16 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: well videos will cover osme of that I think | Dec 16 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | yep I got to go through stuff and sort my bag out for tommorow | Dec 16 20:13 |
| iophk | yes, it would be good to have both flyers and video cover some of the same things | Dec 16 20:13 |
| iophk | you will reach different people | Dec 16 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I guess I split it up like this in the bag. Ubuntu ustff in another bag | Dec 16 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | open source in one bag | Dec 16 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | other stuf in another or something ike that | Dec 16 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: wel there's going to b some old Linux magainze there for people to read as wel it seems | Dec 16 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | ,but flyers are still good | Dec 16 20:14 |
| iophk | 2 or 3 are enough. | Dec 16 20:14 |
| iophk | One for the LUG as you say. | Dec 16 20:14 |
| iophk | On for the apps. | Dec 16 20:14 |

| sebsebseb | iophk: looking nice is what wil draw non technial people in though | Dec 16 20:25 |
| sebsebseb | espeically if it's got that commerial touch to things I think, like both openSUSE and Ubuntu have | Dec 16 20:25 |
| sebsebseb | people generally trust companies | Dec 16 20:25 |
| sebsebseb | you see | Dec 16 20:25 |
| sebsebseb | those kind of people I mean | Dec 16 20:26 |
| sebsebseb | etc | Dec 16 20:26 |

| schestowitz | yes | Dec 17 19:48 |
| schestowitz | I wrote about that yesterday | Dec 17 19:48 |
| schestowitz | They took over the competition | Dec 17 19:49 |
| schestowitz | So now I can onyl choose between DRM+restrictions crap (WD) and quality/MS crap | Dec 17 19:49 |
| schestowitz | There are hardly any contenders except those too | Dec 17 19:49 |
| schestowitz | Yesterday I saw a Toshiba (too small) and LaCie or something like that | Dec 17 19:49 |
| schestowitz | Expensive and I don't think large enough | Dec 17 19:50 |
| schestowitz | Maplin would not accept a warrantee after over a year | Dec 17 19:50 |
| schestowitz | Seagate claims 2 years warantee | Dec 17 19:50 |
| schestowitz | But I bet they'll rant about it being ex4 | Dec 17 19:50 |
| schestowitz | and then say it voids the warantee | Dec 17 19:50 |
| schestowitz | *y | Dec 17 19:50 |
| schestowitz | warranty | Dec 17 19:51 |
| Sosumi | pfffffff | Dec 17 19:51 |
| Sosumi | best option | Dec 17 19:51 |
| schestowitz | I am trying all sorts of things ATM | Dec 17 19:51 |
| schestowitz | bought a second 3 TB drive | Dec 17 19:51 |
| Sosumi | buy a box and the HDD separate | Dec 17 19:51 |
| Sosumi | that's how I do | Dec 17 19:51 |
| Sosumi | so I don't have swallow the crappy HDD manufacturers put on those boxes | Dec 17 19:52 |
| schestowitz | formatted it, now copying over what's not damaged, hoping to then reformat the old drive and if it's really damaged, then format as MS and ship back to them (as per RMA) for replacment | Dec 17 19:52 |

I think it was the last I needed, but in recent years it was impossible to install anything on... too much when it comes to bad sectors it seems... | Dec 17 19:53 |
| Sosumi | unless it's those "cloud" enabled HDDs and/or in need of special software to setup, there's no drm | Dec 17 19:53 |
| schestowitz | After years all HDDs seem to be going kaput or getting there rapidly | Dec 17 19:53 |
| schestowitz | Oh | Dec 17 19:54 |
| schestowitz | BTW! | Dec 17 19:54 |
| Sosumi | as for reliability, WD velociraptors so far have beaten everything | Dec 17 19:54 |
| schestowitz | Western Digital now has a new drive they stock at stores called "My Cloud". Who 'stole' whose name? #mycloud | Dec 17 19:54 |
| MinceR | :) | Dec 17 19:54 |
| MinceR | well, i have my own cloud :> | Dec 17 19:55 |
| Sosumi | the oldest models I still have running are from 2008 | Dec 17 19:55 |
| Sosumi | just stay away from pre-packeaged HDDs | Dec 17 19:56 |
| Sosumi | diskless enclosures are the way to go | Dec 17 19:56 |
| MinceR | why? | Dec 17 19:57 |
| MinceR | in the case of a pre-packaged hdd, if it breaks, it's easy to know whose warranty is supposed to cover it | Dec 17 19:57 |
| Sosumi | no need for special software (like WD does) to configure | Dec 17 19:57 |
| MinceR | but with an enclosure+hdd setup, everyone can blame the other | Dec 17 19:57 |
| Sosumi | you know what HDD is inside | Dec 17 19:57 |
| MinceR | mine so far just work as plain usb (2.0 or 3.0) mass storage devices | Dec 17 19:57 |
| MinceR | though i suspect this does block access to SMART | Dec 17 19:58 |
| Sosumi | I don't like to play the blame game ;) | Dec 17 19:58 |
| Sosumi | plus, enterprise grade HDDs tend to come with 5 to 7 years warranty | Dec 17 19:59 |
| Sosumi | also you can do your own box | Dec 17 20:02 |
| Sosumi | mod a pc case + psu | Dec 17 20:03 |

| DaemonFC | I'm tired of watching rich people buy their way out of trouble. Instead of allowing the dad of the teenager that drove drunk and killed four people to pay $500,000 a year to send him to "rehab", they need to send him to one of those for-profit prisons where they feed everyone gruel and make them work for 25 cents an hour, and then have his dad spend $500,000 a year to compensate the survivors of the wreck he caused, and the families of the | Dec 18 01:05 |

| DaemonFC | They created the monster. They need to have some consequences too. But, since they're rich, nothing ever gets done to them.

| DaemonFC | If the Democrats are smart, they'll keep pushing for a minimum wage increase to $10-11 an hour. It's not just good policy, it will get the attention of people who are being exploited, and want the exploitation to stop. | Dec 18 01:31 |
| DaemonFC | Working for less than $10 an hour is basically slave labor. You won't get a good apartment and you'll probably need food stamps. | Dec 18 01:32 |

| DaemonFC | One of the things that will certainly happen when you tell people that the minimum wage is too low, is that they will defend the low wage, because their employer pays them $1-2 an hour more, and they're worried that they will be "less better off" than the people who were actually making minimum wage. There's a simple explanation for that. People would rather see the people around them suffering more than they are, than see those people get a | Dec 18 01:47 |
| DaemonFC | hand up. | Dec 18 01:47 |
| DaemonFC | What these people don't see is that when the wage floor is so low, that gives employers cover to pay $8-9 an hour and claim that they "don't pay minimum wage". Walmart does this. They don't pay minimum wage, but you can't live like that. | Dec 18 01:47 |
| DaemonFC | When I worked at my first job, in 2002, right after getting my GED, I made $8.54 an hour, or $11.06 an hour in 2013 dollars. The factory jobs that you see in Huntington now tend to start out at $9 an hour, or $6.95 in 2002 dollars. | Dec 18 01:47 |
| DaemonFC | What people don't see is that wages are actually rapidly moving backwards, due to inflation, a stagnant minimum wage, and "free trade". | Dec 18 01:47 |

| DaemonFC | It's actually pretty damned easy to get on a sex offender list. All you have to do is get a nude picture sent to your cell phone from someone that looks like they might be under 18. It doesn't matter if they *are* under 18, or if you consented to receive the picture. | Dec 18 10:07 |
| DaemonFC | Under federal law, all that matters is that a federal prosecutor can make the case that the person who sent you the (possibly unwanted) picture might look like they're under 18, if you squint just right. | Dec 18 10:07 |
| DaemonFC | The only reason that the state makes lists like these and legal requirements that could ensnare millions of people that didn't really even do anything wrong, is because they (a) want a huge prison population for our for-profit privatized prisons, and (b) they want them to be blackballed from gainful employment, so that they'll be back and make the private prison companies even more money. | Dec 18 10:09 |

| DaemonFC | My comment: | Dec 18 10:15 |
| DaemonFC | The Big Lie of the Republican Party and the right-wing Corporate Democrats is that Social Security and Medicare are causing the federal budget deficits. | Dec 18 10:15 |
| DaemonFC | In reality, the federal government OWES Social Security + Medicare over $5 trillion. | Dec 18 10:15 |
| DaemonFC | Why? They "borrowed" the money to hide the huge deficits caused by Reagan and Bush Jr.'s military spending. | Dec 18 10:15 |
| DaemonFC | I think Republican voters should be deported to Iraq or Afghanistan (their choice) to be reunited with their retirement money. | Dec 18 10:15 |
| *amarsh04 (~amarsh04@2001:44b8:61::d) has joined #techrights | Dec 18 10:17 | |
| DaemonFC | If you're under 50 now and paying Social Security and Medicare Tax, it's because your parents are voting for people like Republican Paul Ryan, which promise not to touch "theirs" (which is coming directly out of what you're paying now), and promising to screw you over instead. | Dec 18 10:19 |
| DaemonFC | 2 seconds ago | Dec 18 10:26 |
| DaemonFC | The truth is that ever since Ronald Reagan's crooks and cronies started talking about that "Social Security Lockbox" bullshit, they've been funneling the trust fund money out to cover military deficit spending. It's gotten so bad now that there is no "fund". They just directly rob Peter (age 35) to pay Paul (age 65). The trust fund "exists" as a ledger entry. | Dec 18 10:26 |
| DaemonFC | The only way to pay out the benefits that have been promised are to raise various taxes, so they're getting together to pitch benefit cuts instead. | Dec 18 10:26 |
| DaemonFC | That's where this Chained CPI thing came from. They're going to cover the shortfall they caused by quietly stealing $50,000 or so from each person's retirement money, and never paying out the first dime of "trust fund" money. | Dec 18 10:26 |
| DaemonFC | Clever that. And right-wing Corporate Democrats like Barack Obama and Erskine Bowles, along with the majority of Republicans, have convinced people that C-CPI is a "minor technical correction". | Dec 18 10:26 |
| DaemonFC | Social Security has these things called "Special Issue Treasury Securities". Basically, they all say that it's up to the US Treasury whether or not it wants to honor them. So far, it has done so. Thanks to the 2008 economic collapse, Social Security started paying out more than it was taking in years before anyone thought that it would. With something like 2-3 million people per month losing their jobs and not paying Social Security taxes | Dec 18 10:33 |
| DaemonFC | anymore during the last year of the Bush Administration, that was bound to happen. | Dec 18 10:33 |
| DaemonFC | Many of the people that lost their jobs still aren't employed. They found their way onto Social Security early, either by going on Early Retirement and taking the penalty, or by finding a way to get on Social Security Disability. With a lot of people in their 50s and 60s, who were not in good health, being fired, and having no future job opportunities, the Social Security Disability program was more or less forced to take them all in. These | Dec 18 10:33 |
| DaemonFC | people were at the point where they had limited employment options, but could manage to do the jobs they had, until they were fired. | Dec 18 10:34 |
| DaemonFC | You've got a 59 year old woman that has the beginnings of arthritis and a degenerative eye disease. Do you spend several years retraining her, or just put her on DI and let her wait out the next 6 years and then retire? | Dec 18 10:36 |
| DaemonFC | So, DI has become early retirement for a lot of these people. | Dec 18 10:36 |

| schestowitz__ | Slavery | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | One day they will abolish something and then they will have less people to arrest as they will all be of a more equal standard. | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Really does need a graph showing where the divide is ........ not that drugs and supplying them to your own people is a business - who knows who benefits from this ......... but we can all easily see who looks after the goods and the plants. | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Which other country needs to build new roads in Afghanistan to keep the product flowing - especially when 3300 tonnes of it comes out of there each year. | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Then in the Newspaper they report massive drugs bust of 10 tonnes. | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | What percentage is that of the overall amount - and the main question is - what ever are they doing that makes production go up each year ............ | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | If they could only build that into a business strategy for something good that produces something of less value but more ethical and moral ........... | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | But it always seems .......... Money the route of all evil ........... | Dec 18 11:48 |

| schestowitz__ | I have no problems with rich or poor ........ as both are under the very same system ......... | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | The fact that the system relies on making people into slaves and has no limits on how much of a slave each person becomes to money ( as this can be their own choice ) depending on one thing and one thing alone. | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Their own decisions ......... | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Not taking drugs - not getting involved in drugs - not seeing the money signs flashing before their eyes and being fished out of a sea of people hoping that it will lead them to a better life .......... | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Reality is what we have ...... the reality ..... is shown in the article above. | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Ask how many are drug related and then ask if NSA spies on people and knows what they do and who they see - do they not also know every drug dealer and ever batch of these drugs has to be monitored to make sure no one rips them off. | Dec 18 11:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Big organization and big money .......... but its all for nothing. | Dec 18 11:48 |

| sebsebseb | hi iophk | Dec 18 19:13 |
| iophk | hi | Dec 18 19:13 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: yep I am dong merchandice | Dec 18 19:13 |
| sebsebseb | freebies | Dec 18 19:13 |
| sebsebseb | well not the openSUSE stuff probably, but the rest probably | Dec 18 19:14 |
| iophk | nice | Dec 18 19:14 |
| sebsebseb | may have to try and get for MINT as well if he can't, Ubuntu should be easy enough someone, others hae contacted for those to | Dec 18 19:14 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I think put in some Magiea stuff in the freebies | Dec 18 19:14 |
| iophk | good | Dec 18 19:14 |
| sebsebseb | he was ike to me, I don't really care what is given out, as long as it's relivent | Dec 18 19:14 |
| iophk | it's relevant | Dec 18 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: might have lost smething from the bag of stuff | Dec 18 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | I had yesterday not suire quite | Dec 18 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | probably ok | Dec 18 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: Fedora worht having? | Dec 18 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | could get Fedora discs to | Dec 18 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | oh and the discs that's including for the remasterd distros | Dec 18 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | having a few offical ones | Dec 18 19:16 |
| iophk | Fedora is good but maybe not the best intro for beginners | Dec 18 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | yeah exactly that's why it's out as a remaster | Dec 18 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: might not be so keen on me ading in freebies of that to be honest I gues | Dec 18 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: what about CentOS I could get dics for that, but probably a bit silly | Dec 18 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I should probbly just stick to the stuff for those distro's :d | Dec 18 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | something Mageia | Dec 18 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | and | Dec 18 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | general thing like for Mozilla and a Libre Office flyer and the one about the LUG etc | Dec 18 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: event sticker get made to probaby | Dec 18 19:19 |
| iophk | what's on the sticker? | Dec 18 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | like what I sowed them probably if that | Dec 18 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | got to find out how much that costs etc | Dec 18 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | ,but the event name and a LUG | Dec 18 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | and a Tux probably | Dec 18 19:19 |
| iophk | Tux stickers are probably popular. | Dec 18 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | wel he gave one out at OGG Camp 13 | Dec 18 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | he made one | Dec 18 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | for that eent with thier LUG and a Tux | Dec 18 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | looks nice, so someting like that | Dec 18 19:22 |
| iophk | "Many companies using Linux pay Microsoft patent royalties for its operating system intellectual property{sic}. " | Dec 18 19:25 |
| sebsebseb | yeah openSUSE | Dec 18 19:25 |

| sebsebseb | iophk: would you go to Amsterdam after FOSDEM | Dec 18 19:26 |
| iophk | Probably, if I were going. | Dec 18 19:26 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: there's this guy going from USA frm the project after, but | Dec 18 19:26 |
| sebsebseb | I think if going from USA it makes sense | Dec 18 19:26 |
| sebsebseb | even when the wehater won't be that great etc | Dec 18 19:27 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: ,but when lviingg in Europe anyway well | Dec 18 19:27 |
| sebsebseb | I mean could fly when it's cheaper in the summer or something | Dec 18 19:27 |
| iophk | Amsterdam has a major airport, he may have to change planes there anyway. | Dec 18 19:27 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I am just a bit unsure if I want to join him or not as well | Dec 18 19:28 |
| iophk | If so, then it's no real extra cost (usually) to stay over a day or three. | Dec 18 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | I mean I'll go a day earier on the Thursday to meet him | Dec 18 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | ,but I probably won't really want to travel on the train on Sunday evening | Dec 18 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: plus he goes on the Thursday morning | Dec 18 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | so i I am still there, I won't get a plane untill the eening | Dec 18 19:28 |
| iophk | will you ride through the 'chunnel' ? | Dec 18 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | there's something going on on that THurday evening probably around here | Dec 18 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: no no Dover or wherever the tunnel went is a bit past ondon | Dec 18 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | yeah Dover | Dec 18 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | and London is like two hours or so away from here | Dec 18 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | the motorway etc | Dec 18 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: so it's better to just fly in my case | Dec 18 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | can go from the the air port nearish to here etc | Dec 18 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: that could be like two hours to get to whatever train to get to France etc | Dec 18 19:30 |
| sebsebseb | qucker and easier to just fly | Dec 18 19:30 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: he's going to some hotel in Amsterdam on the Sunday evening | Dec 18 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | that has a sports bar | Dec 18 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | and watch the super bowel | Dec 18 19:31 |
| iophk | boooring | Dec 18 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I don't really have any interest in the super bowl as such, since not American | Dec 18 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | oh you don't watch that? | Dec 18 19:31 |
| iophk | no | Dec 18 19:31 |
| sebsebseb | to geeky? | Dec 18 19:31 |
| iophk | no it's too boring. | Dec 18 19:31 |
| iophk | No action. | Dec 18 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: he's quite a lot older this guy I could join in a way, but | Dec 18 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | that's more hotel cost and travel hasle a bit an all that you know | Dec 18 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | and I don't want to watch the super bowl particuarlly like he does | Dec 18 19:32 |
| iophk | best to skip it then | Dec 18 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | plus he would leave on Thurday morning, with me still being thre, beause not raely a early moring prson | Dec 18 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: yeah and what you going to do in Amsterdam, the weahter could be like it is here right now | Dec 18 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | windy with a lot of rain | Dec 18 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | or it could be snowey or something | Dec 18 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I could go backo n the Wednesdy if I wre to I gues, but it seems a bit pointless | Dec 18 19:33 |
| iophk | Anything you want to see in Belgium? | Dec 18 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | Amsterdam would be nice to go to though, but in the summer :) | Dec 18 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | been to other parts of Belguim already, but I am stuck in the city I think for this trip really again, but that's ok | Dec 18 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: Monday may get a bit boring | Dec 18 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | and Sunday evening | Dec 18 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | if stll there | Dec 18 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | ,but | Dec 18 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | depends | Dec 18 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: then may not want to do same things in Amsterdam really anyway and so on | Dec 18 19:37 |
| sebsebseb | so probably better to not go there with him | Dec 18 19:37 |
| iophk | probably not | Dec 18 19:37 |
| sebsebseb | plus I want to be back on that Thursday eening around here really, because of something that's going on | Dec 18 19:37 |
| sebsebseb | I am going to book my fligght soon | Dec 18 19:37 |

| TechrightsBot-tr | www.bloomberg.com | North Carolina Shows How to Crush the Unemployed - Bloomberg [ http://ur1.ca/g7zkh ] | Dec 19 07:41 |
| DaemonFC | North Carolina's Republican government has abandoned the unemployed by rejecting more federal funds for emergency unemployment benefits. | Dec 19 07:41 |
| DaemonFC | So, North Carolina offers us a glimpse at what will happen nationally when the Republicans succeed in doing it to 1.3 million more people across the country in a few more days. | Dec 19 07:41 |
| DaemonFC | North Carolina's Republicans have unintentionally proven that unemployment income doesn't discourage people from looking for work, but that losing that income discourages them to quit looking for work permanently. | Dec 19 07:41 |
| DaemonFC | Since receiving UI requires people to actively look for work and prove that they are doing it, the incentive to look for work is built into the system. Since North Carolina cut off unemployment benefits, 77,000 people there quit looking for any kind of work at all. | Dec 19 07:41 |
| DaemonFC | What's depressing about this is that since they gave up, they'll no longer count as unemployed, and the Republican Party can point to lower "unemployment" numbers as proof that their cruel UI cuts are "working". | Dec 19 07:41 |
| DaemonFC | I emailed that one to Richard Stallman. | Dec 19 07:45 |

| DaemonFC | 2. At least one Galaxy S4 phone caught fire while someone was charging it. Instead of admitting the problem and offering him a free replacement, Samsung used a bogus Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaint to get his Youtube video of him talking about what happened taken down. | Dec 19 08:49 |

| DaemonFC | The federal CAFE standards, which will eventually require the US fleet to have the average fuel economy of a Toyota Prius, are admirable, but we need to get away from the gasoline engine completely. | Dec 19 11:09 |
| DaemonFC | There is only so much energy potential in a gallon of gasiline. Even modern "efficient" internal combustion engines waste almost 80% of that energy. That's only a slight improvement from the 1990s, when the internal combustion engines wasted about 85% of the energy potential of gasoline. | Dec 19 11:09 |
| DaemonFC | Eventually, it will be impossible for engines to become more efficient, or for a car's weight to be reduced. Demand pressure for fossil fuels is growing faster than the market for lighter and more efficient cars is, as the already-unsustainable human population of Earth continues to rise. | Dec 19 11:09 |
| DaemonFC | 20 years ago, a gallon of gasoline was 90 cents a gallon. Maybe $1 on a bad day. 20 years from now, you can expect to pay $7-8 per gallon. | Dec 19 11:09 |
| DaemonFC | What would it take for the price to go down? We need population decline, to reduce the demand pressure, or to move to alternative and renewable energy sources. | Dec 19 11:09 |

| DaemonFC | Everything here has gotten worse since 1996. | Dec 19 11:56 |
| DaemonFC | The United States economy hit its peak in the late 1990s. | Dec 19 11:56 |
| DaemonFC | 2000-2005 was "decent" to most people. | Dec 19 11:57 |
| DaemonFC | Around 2006, it was in obvious decline for most people, and the bottom fell out in 2008, of course. | Dec 19 11:57 |
| DaemonFC | Obesity rates have gone up as household income has gone down. | Dec 19 11:57 |
| DaemonFC | Some people figure that this is because cheap food is highly processed, and has more calories. I suppose that's a reasonable explanation. | Dec 19 11:58 |
| MinceR | indeed | Dec 19 11:58 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think the economy was doing well in the 1990s because we had exceptionally good leadership in the public sector. | Dec 19 11:59 |
| DaemonFC | It was a number of factors that all came together at the same time. | Dec 19 11:59 |
| MinceR | there's also that lower income results in worse life, and eating is a way to make oneself a big happier | Dec 19 11:59 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah. I try to cap the food budget at $7-8 per day. | Dec 19 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | In 2004, you could do well on $5 per day, but inflation has driven up food prices a lot. | Dec 19 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | I've thrown out some of the things that were causing a huge drag on my monthly budget, like cable TV. | Dec 19 12:01 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not alone there. | Dec 19 12:02 |
| DaemonFC | Cable TV has been losing about 1-2 million subscribers in the US each year for about the past 5 years. | Dec 19 12:02 |
| DaemonFC | That's not a bad thing though. | Dec 19 12:02 |
| DaemonFC | You have more money for stuff you need/want more, and it limits your exposure to bullshit by cutting off the direct bullshit pipeline of corporate news. | Dec 19 12:02 |
| DaemonFC | So, cutting off cable TV and getting tough on my ISP returned about $120 a month to my budget. | Dec 19 12:04 |

| DaemonFC | If you did that by mistake, the best thing to do would just be to drive it until it's at about an eighth of a tank, and then refill on regular 87 octane gasoline. | Dec 19 12:16 |
| DaemonFC | Doing it once shouldn't do much harm. | Dec 19 12:16 |
| DaemonFC | If you run it like that constantly, you'll have problems eventually. | Dec 19 12:16 |
| DaemonFC | People were trying to use E85 in non-FFVs for a while because the economy sucked and gas prices rose above $4 a gallon. | Dec 19 12:17 |
| MinceR | i don't think they sell 87 octane gasoline here at all :> | Dec 19 12:17 |
| MinceR | it's just 95, 98, 99 | Dec 19 12:17 |
| DaemonFC | But it's bad for the car, and you lose about 30% of your fuel mileage. | Dec 19 12:17 |
| DaemonFC | So it's really costing you more, even if your car can run on it. | Dec 19 12:17 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: That's odd. | Dec 19 12:18 |
| DaemonFC | Here, it's usually 87, 89, and 91. | Dec 19 12:18 |
| DaemonFC | Some stations sell 93 or 94. | Dec 19 12:18 |
| DaemonFC | If you get out into the mountains in Colorado, you might see 86. | Dec 19 12:18 |
| DaemonFC | Running your car on 86 shouldn't hurt anything. | Dec 19 12:19 |
| DaemonFC | I used to run mine on 86, because the station near my house offered it as "economy" gasoline. | Dec 19 12:19 |
| DaemonFC | It was usually 3-4 cents per gallon cheaper. | Dec 19 12:19 |
| DaemonFC | They got rid of it though, so I use 87 now. | Dec 19 12:19 |
| DaemonFC | The danger of using low octane gas is that your engine could start to knock and ping. | Dec 19 12:20 |
| MinceR | i think they tend to recommend 95 here for everything that runs on gas | Dec 19 12:20 |
| MinceR | we used 98 on our old crap commie imitation cars while we used them | Dec 19 12:20 |
| MinceR | now 98 and 99 are extra-expensive special gas with special add-ons or whatever | Dec 19 12:21 |
| DaemonFC | Well, the PCM on cars of the last 20-25 years should be able to adjust the timing appropriately, to avoid knocks and pings. | Dec 19 12:21 |
| MinceR | i wasn't really convinced they're worth the extra expense | Dec 19 12:21 |
| MinceR | indeed. | Dec 19 12:21 |
| DaemonFC | You're really just wasting money if you use higher octane fuel than the manual recommends. | Dec 19 12:21 |
| MinceR | i suspect the commie imitation cars couldn't adjust the timing at all. | Dec 19 12:21 |
| DaemonFC | You could. | Dec 19 12:21 |
| MinceR | at least not automatically | Dec 19 12:21 |
| DaemonFC | You had to do it manually though. If you're talking about cars with carburetors. | Dec 19 12:22 |
| DaemonFC | They had a timing screw. | Dec 19 12:22 |
| MinceR | indeed. | Dec 19 12:22 |
| DaemonFC | New cars do it on the fly. | Dec 19 12:22 |
| DaemonFC | I think they really should bring back 86 octane gas. | Dec 19 12:23 |
| DaemonFC | If it saves a nickel a gallon and modern cars run fine on it, why not sell it? :) | Dec 19 12:23 |
| DaemonFC | If you burn a tank of gas every week, that's $52 a year in savings. | Dec 19 12:23 |
| DaemonFC | That would help the economy, because each person would have an extra $52 to go spend on something that's not gasoline. | Dec 19 12:24 |
| DaemonFC | Well, they do blend it with ethanol now. | Dec 19 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | The EPA is going to mandate 15% ethanol very soon. | Dec 19 12:25 |
| DaemonFC | So really, they probably are using 84 or 85 octane gas, and selling it as 87, because the ethanol brings up the octane rating. | Dec 19 12:26 |
| DaemonFC | The lady that I bought this car from told me that she always used 94 octane gas. | Dec 19 12:26 |
| DaemonFC | I didn't have the heart to tell her that was a waste of money. | Dec 19 12:26 |
| DaemonFC | She was probably spending another $80-90 a year due to that. | Dec 19 12:27 |

| TechrightsBot-tr | bugs.winehq.org | WineHQ Bugzilla – Bug 33698 – Opera Next 15.x and 18.x crashes on startup (native API sandboxing/hooking scheme incompatible with Wine) [ http://ur1.ca/g80mz ] | Dec 19 12:27 |
| DaemonFC | This turned out to be an interesting bug. | Dec 19 12:27 |
| DaemonFC | I reported it a while back. | Dec 19 12:27 |
| MinceR | i think they do sell E85 here | Dec 19 12:28 |
| DaemonFC | Later on, someone else posted this: | Dec 19 12:28 |
| MinceR | never used it, my car isn't designed for it | Dec 19 12:28 |
| DaemonFC | "In short: Opera Next seems to employ a process sandboxing scheme by low-level hooking several native API (Ntxxx) expecting NT-style entry point layout. | Dec 19 12:28 |
| DaemonFC | The way the hooking is done won't work for Wine." | Dec 19 12:28 |
| DaemonFC | So, is that something that Chromium is doing? | Dec 19 12:29 |
| DaemonFC | Probably. | Dec 19 12:29 |
| DaemonFC | The Chromium sandbox on Windows is completely different than the one they use on GNU/Linux. | Dec 19 12:29 |
| MinceR | they developed crashe in an extremely winblows-centric mindset, without any foresight | Dec 19 12:30 |
| MinceR | and then they had to port it to other platforms | Dec 19 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | That's interesting, that they're using the NT Native API. | Dec 19 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | That's almost totally (officially) undocumented. | Dec 19 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | Most of what is known about it has been discovered without any help or official documentation from Microsoft. | Dec 19 12:30 |
| MinceR | ironically, even to chrome os and android | Dec 19 12:30 |
| MinceR | well, that's the way of the winblows developer | Dec 19 12:30 |
| DaemonFC | The Mozilla platform was truly portable from the beginning. | Dec 19 12:31 |
| MinceR | since this fancy "documentation" thing isn't exactly well known to the folks at redmond | Dec 19 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | At first, Google ONLY developed Chrome for Windows. | Dec 19 12:31 |
| MinceR | i know | Dec 19 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | They only worried about porting it much later. | Dec 19 12:31 |
| MinceR | and it was utterly stupid. | Dec 19 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | So they had to go back and redo a lot of the really fucking stupid things they did. | Dec 19 12:31 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: Microsoft didn't document it because they don't want people using it. | Dec 19 12:32 |
| MinceR | indeed | Dec 19 12:32 |
| MinceR | they don't want anyone but m$ developing software, ever | Dec 19 12:32 |
| MinceR | if what they do can be called "developing", anyway | Dec 19 12:32 |
| DaemonFC | They want people to develop software using Win32. | Dec 19 12:33 |
| MinceR | no, they want people to depend on m$ for everything, including applications | Dec 19 12:34 |
| DaemonFC | From my Facebook wall: | Dec 19 12:38 |
| DaemonFC | "I don't use Google Chrome because I think it's poorly designed and bloated, and because it's basically spyware." | Dec 19 12:39 |
| DaemonFC | The Republican Party is hostile to American values. I haven't met a Republican yet that wouldn't give more water to a drowning man. | Dec 19 12:55 |

| MinceR | ic | Dec 19 14:57 |
| MinceR | that's a bummer | Dec 19 14:57 |
| Sosumi | total bummer, because my current GPUs only have a single DP | Dec 19 14:58 |
| Sosumi | DP, hdmi and two DVI | Dec 19 14:58 |
| Sosumi | plus the HDMI could end up being used by some other device, like when I get a friend come in for some project and he brings his console, etc | Dec 19 15:00 |
| MinceR | does your GPU have plain DP or DP++? | Dec 19 15:00 |
| Sosumi | checking... | Dec 19 15:01 |
| Sosumi | gtx titan | Dec 19 15:01 |
| Sosumi | it's DP 1.2 | Dec 19 15:02 |
| MinceR | that seems to be orthogonal to DP++ (dual-mode DP) | Dec 19 15:03 |
| Sosumi | 1 - 3840x2160 at 30Hz or 4096x2160 at 24Hz supported over HDMI. 4096x2160 (including 3840x2160) at 60Hz supported over Displayport. Support for 4k tiled MST displays requires 326.19 driver or later. | Dec 19 15:04 |
| Sosumi | from nvidia website | Dec 19 15:04 |
| MinceR | anyway, if it can do dual-mode DP, then that too can be used to drive DVI/HDMI displays with a simple converter | Dec 19 15:04 |
| Sosumi | only 4k at 60Hz with DP | Dec 19 15:04 |

| schestowitz__ | " | Dec 19 17:46 |
| schestowitz__ | So ... this is still based on the RPM package format, but has different dependency-resolving methods? | Dec 19 17:46 |
| schestowitz__ | My experience with RPM (long, though minimized to the extent possible) leaves me with a few observations: | Dec 19 17:47 |
| schestowitz__ | The dependency on a specific binary format (as opposed to DEBs which are a structure of tar, gzip, and ar) means that specific tools are required to unpack the packages. Though this isn't typically an issue, there are times it works against the model. | Dec 19 17:47 |
| schestowitz__ | Dependency resolution in general is poorer than APT/DEB-based systems. Mandriva presents an interesting contrast (RPM package format, APT package management). | Dec 19 17:47 |
| schestowitz__ | The real problem with RPM isn't the package management tools. It's the lack of a coherent policy governing packages. And among the worst offenders is Red Hat itself. | Dec 19 17:47 |
| schestowitz__ | Improving the file formats and technical procedures is lipstick on a pig until policy can be addressed. | Dec 19 17:47 |

| msb_ | Lucid dreaming is the waking up of the left-brain while we're dreaming (a state in which the right-brain is normally in control). | Dec 20 10:49 |
| iophk | Again, there is no "left" brain / "right" brain dichotomy as you are describing it. A trip to the university library to check out a neurobiology text will show that. | Dec 20 10:51 |
| msb_ | There are various methods of inducing lucid dreaming, many of which involve noticing clues in the dream about rationality and left-brain (linear) awareness. | Dec 20 10:51 |

| oiaohm | iophk: google already has you sniffed anyhow. | Dec 15 06:18 |
| oiaohm | iophk: the fact they are blocking thrid parties from sniffing I wonder if we will see a anti-trust case against google. | Dec 15 06:18 |
| iophk | yes they have all the info, but the new settings allow spammers and others to track also | Dec 15 06:18 |
| iophk | Anti-trust probably doesn't apply here. | Dec 15 06:19 |
| oiaohm | iophk: if you look closer no it does not. | Dec 15 06:19 |
| oiaohm | Google is acting as the middle man. | Dec 15 06:19 |
| oiaohm | So third parties only see that a google server collected the image then cached it. | Dec 15 06:20 |
| iophk | yes but at some time they might start really abusing their control or position first-hand | Dec 15 06:20 |
| iophk | then anti-trust would apply. | Dec 15 06:20 |
| iophk | But anti-trust has been slow and weak in recent decades. | Dec 15 06:20 |
| oiaohm | Note most spam email is balk identical. | Dec 15 06:20 |

| iophk | remote and local at the same time | Dec 15 06:23 |
| oiaohm | They are from google servers same servers you are going to for your email. | Dec 15 06:23 |

| oiaohm | iophk: the proxy is a filter. | Dec 15 06:23 |

| iophk | or at least opened the spam | Dec 15 06:30 |

| iophk | Images off completely would be best. | Dec 15 06:32 |
| iophk | HTML mail is a pox. | Dec 15 06:32 |

| iophk | yes, it has those advantages | Dec 15 06:36 |
| iophk | NSA can just get info direct from Google's servers, the proxy won't affect much if anything. | Dec 15 06:36 |
| oiaohm | Bad is more bandwidth used between user and google checking mail. | Dec 15 06:36 |
| oiaohm | iophk: other than the fact NSA knows from google when you viewed those emails. | Dec 15 06:46 |

| schestowitz_bed2 | This is why I don't like Android - non free apps have been able to rape users all along. All the apps wanted everything and it was impossible to do things without an actual cell phone number. I don't know what magic Google has to keep an app from making a copy of my addressbook or from capturing a password that would give full access to my email, but I imagine it's full of holes. | Dec 15 14:23 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | The phone companies are the worst. It was impossible for me to get VOIP without having a "real" phone number from a damn SIM card. Even Google voice was like this. Hangouts worked for other G+ users. You just can't connect to the phone system with it unless you have a phone line. | Dec 15 14:23 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | Particularly disgusting was Vonnage, which I use at home without a phone line. I would have thought the company would be happy with me identifying myself and putting their crappy binary on my phone. The program even had a preference that would make it wifi only. Just the same, it demanded my cell phone's number to finish verifying who I was. | Dec 15 14:23 |

The biggest problem of which is that I've grown rather addicted to one particular Android app: an effing call screening tool (though those are about the most intrusive of all privacy-invasion apps).

A phone is, ultimately, a little too small to be useful for content. A tablet just noses in for dealing with content.

| -->sebsebseb (~mageiause@fsf/member/sebsebseb) has joined #techrights | Dec 16 14:48 | |
| sebsebseb | hi iophk MinceR | Dec 16 14:48 |
| ---amarsh04_ is now known as amarsh04 | Dec 16 14:49 | |
| iophk | hi | Dec 16 14:49 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: looks ike I am going to be responsible for event merchandice | Dec 16 14:50 |
| sebsebseb | or pretty much | Dec 16 14:50 |
| iophk | mageia! | Dec 16 14:50 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: heh heh | Dec 16 14:50 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: need to sort my freebies examples bag out for tommorw | Dec 16 14:50 |
| sebsebseb | ,but yeah going to show them stuf | Dec 16 14:50 |
| sebsebseb | kind of stuff that could have | Dec 16 14:51 |
| sebsebseb | for some deciosns on wht to have and such, b ut yeah | Dec 16 14:51 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I guess either way can slip in some Mageia stuff in anyway heh heh | Dec 16 14:51 |
| sebsebseb | if I really want | Dec 16 14:51 |
| iophk | It's a good distro... | Dec 16 14:51 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: that's going to have a basic background for the next release | Dec 16 14:52 |
| sebsebseb | ,but not to bad I think | Dec 16 14:52 |
| sebsebseb | from what I seen of proposals | Dec 16 14:52 |
| sebsebseb | ,but so not Fedora style for example | Dec 16 14:52 |
| sebsebseb | well it's either one of those, or the old background it seems | Dec 16 14:52 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: don't need to fancy for a default look really anyway I guess | Dec 16 14:53 |
| sebsebseb | and people tend to change the backgorund anyway | Dec 16 14:53 |
| iophk | Yeah it's one of the few things people still tend to change. | Dec 16 14:53 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: some sort of blue probaly and flower type background | Dec 16 14:54 |
| sebsebseb | looks ok | Dec 16 14:54 |
| sebsebseb | I Mean the proposals I have seen, but yes very basic | Dec 16 14:54 |
| sebsebseb | backgound stay for Grub and log in screens usually though | Dec 16 14:55 |
| sebsebseb | and control centre in this case | Dec 16 14:55 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: so still my event then or well for merchandice | Dec 16 14:56 |
| sebsebseb | it seems it will be then | Dec 16 14:56 |
| sebsebseb | openSUSE stuff that I won't be providing | Dec 16 14:57 |
| iophk | That can get Mageia to people's homes | Dec 16 14:57 |
| sebsebseb | Mint stuff that I won't be providing | Dec 16 14:57 |
| sebsebseb | Ubuntu suff that I probably won't be providing, well maybe a little bit, but most of it nope | Dec 16 14:57 |
| sebsebseb | other stuff well that I will be providing :d | Dec 16 14:57 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: yes seems there's a idea to have some cd's now to or something or for the choosen distro's | Dec 16 14:58 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: no boycott Sony stickers for this evente htough I Think for exmaple | Dec 16 14:59 |
| sebsebseb | I think mos FSF stuff is out | Dec 16 14:59 |
| sebsebseb | and FSFE andsuch | Dec 16 14:59 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I mean my idea is to have something about opensource/freesoftware poibly a fyer, but in genral just to have stuff for distro's and end user software that is used such as FIrefox and Libre Office, not for databases and what not | Dec 16 15:00 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: imagine giving a Boycott Sony sticker to a non techncal | Dec 16 15:01 |
| sebsebseb | they won't understand | Dec 16 15:01 |
| iophk | probably not | Dec 16 15:01 |
| iophk | Flyers might be good. | Dec 16 15:02 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: also FSF has a nice Hurd sticker, but | Dec 16 15:02 |
| iophk | People like to have something in hand. | Dec 16 15:02 |
| sebsebseb | I think understanding what the penguin is will be confusisng nough | Dec 16 15:02 |
| sebsebseb | so I think Hurd sticker is out to then | Dec 16 15:02 |
| iophk | Maybe one flier describing common apps.? | Dec 16 15:02 |
| sebsebseb | for example | Dec 16 15:02 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: oh they wil have a vidoe in the meeting room | Dec 16 15:03 |
| sebsebseb | explaining some stuff in video | Dec 16 15:03 |
| sebsebseb | ,but having someflyers could be good to | Dec 16 15:03 |
| sebsebseb | FSF Europe has a nice on explaining aout free software and such | Dec 16 15:03 |
| sebsebseb | that kind of thing I am thinking | Dec 16 15:03 |
| iophk | yes there were some ideas in your notes from the other month about what to put on the video | Dec 16 15:03 |
| sebsebseb | oh they are just showing the desktops and how to openapps up etc | Dec 16 15:03 |
| sebsebseb | he made a sample video idea | Dec 16 15:03 |
| sebsebseb | may just make own using a screencast someone | Dec 16 15:03 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: Mageia isn't one of the distros now, and GNOME 3 isn't one of the interfaces now, so I don't care that much about those videos now | Dec 16 15:04 |
| sebsebseb | let them make something for their three choosen distros and interfaces I am thinking | Dec 16 15:04 |
| sebsebseb | yep their not my really, I wanted a fourth and you know what that is | Dec 16 15:05 |
| sebsebseb | I guess ended up taking it's spot as one of the three really, but odd not to have Ubuntu for that kind of event I think | Dec 16 15:05 |
| sebsebseb | I guess Ubuntu above | Dec 16 15:05 |
| iophk | Maybe Ubuntu in the swag? | Dec 16 15:06 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: willl be interesting to see if not so technial users like Unityor not | Dec 16 15:07 |
| iophk | Some do, some don't | Dec 16 15:07 |
| sebsebseb | nope it's been dieced theose three distros I told you about | Dec 16 15:07 |
| sebsebseb | and that's that it seems | Dec 16 15:07 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: having good stuff to igive out is importan I Think | Dec 16 15:08 |
| sebsebseb | people like picking up free stuff at events | Dec 16 15:08 |
| sebsebseb | a lot do | Dec 16 15:08 |
| iophk | That's why the DVDs / CDs are an ok choice. | Dec 16 15:09 |
| iophk | Also, as we talked about, they can't be overwritten. | Dec 16 15:09 |
| sebsebseb | wel seems there may be CD's and DVd's for distors to | Dec 16 15:09 |
| sebsebseb | offical ones | Dec 16 15:09 |
| sebsebseb | there was a mention of getting some Ubuntu CD's etc, and something abobut covers for cd's possibly making some | Dec 16 15:09 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: yep should be goodfor merchandice this I Think | Dec 16 15:11 |
| sebsebseb | for freebies | Dec 16 15:11 |
| sebsebseb | espeicaly if I am mainly in charge of that :) | Dec 16 15:11 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: so do you think a flyer about what opensource/freesoftware is | Dec 16 15:12 |
| sebsebseb | is a good idea? | Dec 16 15:12 |
| sebsebseb | explained in a not so technical way | Dec 16 15:12 |
| sebsebseb | FSFE has one | Dec 16 15:12 |
| sebsebseb | then it's also about joining FFSFE etc, so I was thinking something similar to that possibly | Dec 16 15:12 |
| iophk | yes, cover some of the apps they will find useful | Dec 16 15:12 |
| sebsebseb | also one about the LUGcould be good | Dec 16 15:12 |
| iophk | firefox, thunderbird, vlc, libreoffice, | Dec 16 15:12 |
| sebsebseb | I got some some hwre for another LUG | Dec 16 15:13 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: well videos will cover osme of that I think | Dec 16 15:13 |
| sebsebseb | yep I got to go through stuff and sort my bag out for tommorow | Dec 16 15:13 |
| iophk | yes, it would be good to have both flyers and video cover some of the same things | Dec 16 15:13 |
| iophk | you will reach different people | Dec 16 15:13 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I guess I split it up like this in the bag. Ubuntu ustff in another bag | Dec 16 15:13 |
| sebsebseb | open source in one bag | Dec 16 15:13 |
| sebsebseb | other stuf in another or something ike that | Dec 16 15:13 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: wel there's going to b some old Linux magainze there for people to read as wel it seems | Dec 16 15:14 |
| sebsebseb | ,but flyers are still good | Dec 16 15:14 |
| iophk | 2 or 3 are enough. | Dec 16 15:14 |
| iophk | One for the LUG as you say. | Dec 16 15:14 |
| iophk | On for the apps. | Dec 16 15:14 |
| sebsebseb | onefor Mageia mayb :d | Dec 16 15:14 |
| iophk | Yep. :) | Dec 16 15:15 |
| sebsebseb | can havea few flyers realy | Dec 16 15:15 |
| sebsebseb | ,but shoudn't over do it | Dec 16 15:15 |
| iophk | A small number is best. | Dec 16 15:15 |
| sebsebseb | Magiea has a nice flyer :d | Dec 16 15:15 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: could wriete on t, contact .... me | Dec 16 15:15 |

| sebsebseb | :d | Dec 16 15:16 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: do I show them some of the Mageia tuff tomorow to I guess so breify :d | Dec 16 15:16 |
| sebsebseb | a general showing of things | Dec 16 15:16 |
| iophk | I would think so. | Dec 16 15:16 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: can put in fEDORA cd's een or something | Dec 16 15:16 |
| sebsebseb | if | Dec 16 15:16 |

| sebsebseb | yep :0 | Dec 16 15:17 |
| sebsebseb | that was meant to be a :) | Dec 16 15:17 |
| iophk | the USB sticks won't be effective. If they put them in a Windows machine first, they get erased. | Dec 16 15:18 |
| sebsebseb | I did mention that in a eai | Dec 16 15:18 |
| sebsebseb | ,but didn't get any reposne from what Iremember or as such | Dec 16 15:18 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I gess may want to tell them not ot put in WIndows :d | Dec 16 15:18 |
| sebsebseb | or something | Dec 16 15:18 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: ,but hey it's not like it's my distro or interface being erasedif so :d | Dec 16 15:18 |
| iophk | They won't listen. | Dec 16 15:19 |
| sebsebseb | right, but seems going to have dics as well now :) | Dec 16 15:19 |
| sebsebseb | discs | Dec 16 15:19 |
| iophk | discs are the way to go. | Dec 16 15:19 |
| sebsebseb | ,but the discs wil just be freebie | Dec 16 15:19 |
| sebsebseb | s | Dec 16 15:19 |
| sebsebseb | they wil still do this remaster stuff | Dec 16 15:19 |
| iophk | freebie is fine, it's still a way to get the stoc.k distro to them | Dec 16 15:20 |
| sebsebseb | yep :) | Dec 16 15:20 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I'll shw them example of uBUNT U13.`10 cd'S | Dec 16 15:21 |
| sebsebseb | and open suse even etc tommorwo | Dec 16 15:21 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: ,but smeone else was going to contact Ubuntu for stuff it seems | Dec 16 15:21 |
| sebsebseb | he may have already | Dec 16 15:21 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: ,but since I got some of th wanted stuff already I can show | Dec 16 15:21 |
| sebsebseb | oh actually it's 13.04 I got, but welll yeah example of what hte later c's look like ofical ones | Dec 16 15:22 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I got uBUNTU ey rings and such here to, since I bought some stuff from Canonical, so may as well show that as well | Dec 16 15:22 |
| iophk | Hardware is ok. | Dec 16 15:22 |
| iophk | The logos persist. | Dec 16 15:22 |
| sebsebseb | not hardware | Dec 16 15:22 |
| iophk | keyring | Dec 16 15:23 |
| sebsebseb | a key ring as in yep for keys | Dec 16 15:23 |
| sebsebseb | ,but not hardware | Dec 16 15:23 |
| sebsebseb | not computer hardware | Dec 16 15:23 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: Ubuntu and openSUSE have very nice stuff really, when it comes to this kind of hting | Dec 16 15:23 |
| sebsebseb | apparnatlly going to get some Mint stuff as well | Dec 16 15:23 |
| iophk | except that the suse stuff is suse | Dec 16 15:23 |
| sebsebseb | heh heh well yeah but it still looks nice, a bit like how Mac OS X or Apple hardware looks nice, but when well it's Apple, a very propritary for profit money sucking company | Dec 16 15:24 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: looking nice is what wil draw non technial people in though | Dec 16 15:25 |
| sebsebseb | espeically if it's got that commerial touch to things I think, like both openSUSE and Ubuntu have | Dec 16 15:25 |
| sebsebseb | people generally trust companies | Dec 16 15:25 |
| sebsebseb | you see | Dec 16 15:25 |
| sebsebseb | those kind of people I mean | Dec 16 15:26 |
| sebsebseb | etc | Dec 16 15:26 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: many are consumers, they just buy stuff etc you know | Dec 16 15:26 |
| iophk | Ubuntu's looks polished even if it's not flexible. | Dec 16 15:27 |

| schestowitz | yes | Dec 17 14:48 |
| schestowitz | I wrote about that yesterday | Dec 17 14:48 |
| schestowitz | They took over the competition | Dec 17 14:49 |
| schestowitz | So now I can onyl choose between DRM+restrictions crap (WD) and quality/MS crap | Dec 17 14:49 |
| schestowitz | There are hardly any contenders except those too | Dec 17 14:49 |
| schestowitz | Yesterday I saw a Toshiba (too small) and LaCie or something like that | Dec 17 14:49 |

| schestowitz | Seagate claims 2 years warantee | Dec 17 14:50 |
| schestowitz | But I bet they'll rant about it being ex4 | Dec 17 14:50 |
| schestowitz | and then say it voids the warantee | Dec 17 14:50 |

| Sosumi | unless it's those "cloud" enabled HDDs and/or in need of special software to setup, there's no drm | Dec 17 14:53 |

| schestowitz | Oh | Dec 17 14:54 |
| schestowitz | BTW! | Dec 17 14:54 |
| Sosumi | as for reliability, WD velociraptors so far have beaten everything | Dec 17 14:54 |

| MinceR | well, i have my own cloud :> | Dec 17 14:55 |
| Sosumi | the oldest models I still have running are from 2008 | Dec 17 14:55 |
| Sosumi | just stay away from pre-packeaged HDDs | Dec 17 14:56 |
| Sosumi | diskless enclosures are the way to go | Dec 17 14:56 |
| MinceR | why? | Dec 17 14:57 |
| MinceR | in the case of a pre-packaged hdd, if it breaks, it's easy to know whose warranty is supposed to cover it | Dec 17 14:57 |
| Sosumi | no need for special software (like WD does) to configure | Dec 17 14:57 |
| MinceR | but with an enclosure+hdd setup, everyone can blame the other | Dec 17 14:57 |
| Sosumi | you know what HDD is inside | Dec 17 14:57 |
| MinceR | mine so far just work as plain usb (2.0 or 3.0) mass storage devices | Dec 17 14:57 |
| MinceR | though i suspect this does block access to SMART | Dec 17 14:58 |
| Sosumi | I don't like to play the blame game ;) | Dec 17 14:58 |
| Sosumi | plus, enterprise grade HDDs tend to come with 5 to 7 years warranty | Dec 17 14:59 |
| Sosumi | also you can do your own box | Dec 17 15:02 |

| DaemonFC | I'm tired of watching rich people buy their way out of trouble. Instead of allowing the dad of the teenager that drove drunk and killed four people to pay $500,000 a year to send him to "rehab", they need to send him to one of those for-profit prisons where they feed everyone gruel and make them work for 25 cents an hour, and then have his dad spend $500,000 a year to compensate the survivors of the wreck he caused, and the families of the | Dec 17 20:05 |

| DaemonFC | They created the monster. They need to have some consequences too. But, since they're rich, nothing ever gets done to them.

| DaemonFC | Working for less than $10 an hour is basically slave labor. You won't get a good apartment and you'll probably need food stamps. | Dec 17 20:32 |

| DaemonFC | One of the things that will certainly happen when you tell people that the minimum wage is too low, is that they will defend the low wage, because their employer pays them $1-2 an hour more, and they're worried that they will be "less better off" than the people who were actually making minimum wage. There's a simple explanation for that. People would rather see the people around them suffering more than they are, than see those people get a | Dec 17 20:47 |
| DaemonFC | hand up. | Dec 17 20:47 |
| DaemonFC | What these people don't see is that when the wage floor is so low, that gives employers cover to pay $8-9 an hour and claim that they "don't pay minimum wage". Walmart does this. They don't pay minimum wage, but you can't live like that. | Dec 17 20:47 |
| DaemonFC | When I worked at my first job, in 2002, right after getting my GED, I made $8.54 an hour, or $11.06 an hour in 2013 dollars. The factory jobs that you see in Huntington now tend to start out at $9 an hour, or $6.95 in 2002 dollars. | Dec 17 20:47 |
| DaemonFC | What people don't see is that wages are actually rapidly moving backwards, due to inflation, a stagnant minimum wage, and "free trade". | Dec 17 20:47 |

| DaemonFC | It's actually pretty damned easy to get on a sex offender list. All you have to do is get a nude picture sent to your cell phone from someone that looks like they might be under 18. It doesn't matter if they *are* under 18, or if you consented to receive the picture. | Dec 18 05:07 |
| DaemonFC | Under federal law, all that matters is that a federal prosecutor can make the case that the person who sent you the (possibly unwanted) picture might look like they're under 18, if you squint just right. | Dec 18 05:07 |
| DaemonFC | The only reason that the state makes lists like these and legal requirements that could ensnare millions of people that didn't really even do anything wrong, is because they (a) want a huge prison population for our for-profit privatized prisons, and (b) they want them to be blackballed from gainful employment, so that they'll be back and make the private prison companies even more money. | Dec 18 05:09 |

| DaemonFC | My comment: | Dec 18 05:15 |
| DaemonFC | The Big Lie of the Republican Party and the right-wing Corporate Democrats is that Social Security and Medicare are causing the federal budget deficits. | Dec 18 05:15 |
| DaemonFC | In reality, the federal government OWES Social Security + Medicare over $5 trillion. | Dec 18 05:15 |
| DaemonFC | Why? They "borrowed" the money to hide the huge deficits caused by Reagan and Bush Jr.'s military spending. | Dec 18 05:15 |
| DaemonFC | I think Republican voters should be deported to Iraq or Afghanistan (their choice) to be reunited with their retirement money. | Dec 18 05:15 |
| -->amarsh04 (~amarsh04@2001:44b8:61::d) has joined #techrights | Dec 18 05:17 | |
| DaemonFC | If you're under 50 now and paying Social Security and Medicare Tax, it's because your parents are voting for people like Republican Paul Ryan, which promise not to touch "theirs" (which is coming directly out of what you're paying now), and promising to screw you over instead. | Dec 18 05:19 |
| DaemonFC | 2 seconds ago | Dec 18 05:25 |
| DaemonFC | The truth is that ever since Ronald Reagan's crooks and cronies started talking about that "Social Security Lockbox" bullshit, they've been funneling the trust fund money out to cover military deficit spending. It's gotten so bad now that there is no "fund". They just directly rob Peter (age 35) to pay Paul (age 65). The trust fund "exists" as a ledger entry. | Dec 18 05:26 |
| DaemonFC | The only way to pay out the benefits that have been promised are to raise various taxes, so they're getting together to pitch benefit cuts instead. | Dec 18 05:26 |
| DaemonFC | That's where this Chained CPI thing came from. They're going to cover the shortfall they caused by quietly stealing $50,000 or so from each person's retirement money, and never paying out the first dime of "trust fund" money. | Dec 18 05:26 |
| DaemonFC | Clever that. And right-wing Corporate Democrats like Barack Obama and Erskine Bowles, along with the majority of Republicans, have convinced people that C-CPI is a "minor technical correction". | Dec 18 05:26 |
| DaemonFC | Social Security has these things called "Special Issue Treasury Securities". Basically, they all say that it's up to the US Treasury whether or not it wants to honor them. So far, it has done so. Thanks to the 2008 economic collapse, Social Security started paying out more than it was taking in years before anyone thought that it would. With something like 2-3 million people per month losing their jobs and not paying Social Security taxes | Dec 18 05:33 |
| DaemonFC | anymore during the last year of the Bush Administration, that was bound to happen. | Dec 18 05:33 |
| DaemonFC | Many of the people that lost their jobs still aren't employed. They found their way onto Social Security early, either by going on Early Retirement and taking the penalty, or by finding a way to get on Social Security Disability. With a lot of people in their 50s and 60s, who were not in good health, being fired, and having no future job opportunities, the Social Security Disability program was more or less forced to take them all in. These | Dec 18 05:33 |
| DaemonFC | people were at the point where they had limited employment options, but could manage to do the jobs they had, until they were fired. | Dec 18 05:33 |
| DaemonFC | You've got a 59 year old woman that has the beginnings of arthritis and a degenerative eye disease. Do you spend several years retraining her, or just put her on DI and let her wait out the next 6 years and then retire? | Dec 18 05:36 |
| DaemonFC | So, DI has become early retirement for a lot of these people. | Dec 18 05:36 |

| schestowitz__ | Slavery | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | One day they will abolish something and then they will have less people to arrest as they will all be of a more equal standard. | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Really does need a graph showing where the divide is ........ not that drugs and supplying them to your own people is a business - who knows who benefits from this ......... but we can all easily see who looks after the goods and the plants. | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Which other country needs to build new roads in Afghanistan to keep the product flowing - especially when 3300 tonnes of it comes out of there each year. | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Then in the Newspaper they report massive drugs bust of 10 tonnes. | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | What percentage is that of the overall amount - and the main question is - what ever are they doing that makes production go up each year ............ | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | If they could only build that into a business strategy for something good that produces something of less value but more ethical and moral ........... | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | But it always seems .......... Money the route of all evil ........... | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | The Land of the FREE - changes your mind about what you want - when you see that the FREE are never FREE in that country. | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Even the Elite on their Golf Courses ...... trapped by routine and fear of losing money. | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | I have no problems with rich or poor ........ as both are under the very same system ......... | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | The fact that the system relies on making people into slaves and has no limits on how much of a slave each person becomes to money ( as this can be their own choice ) depending on one thing and one thing alone. | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Their own decisions ......... | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Not taking drugs - not getting involved in drugs - not seeing the money signs flashing before their eyes and being fished out of a sea of people hoping that it will lead them to a better life .......... | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Reality is what we have ...... the reality ..... is shown in the article above. | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Ask how many are drug related and then ask if NSA spies on people and knows what they do and who they see - do they not also know every drug dealer and ever batch of these drugs has to be monitored to make sure no one rips them off. | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Big organization and big money .......... but its all for nothing. | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Destroys from the heart of the society .... giving little in return - other than that all famous Money ....... that in return buys more misery. | Dec 18 06:48 |
| schestowitz__ | Think its all coming together now #NSA #DRUGS #AFGHANISTAN #PRISON as CHEAP #SLAVE-LABOUR. | Dec 18 06:48 |

| iophk | hi | Dec 18 14:13 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: yep I am dong merchandice | Dec 18 14:13 |
| sebsebseb | freebies | Dec 18 14:13 |
| sebsebseb | well not the openSUSE stuff probably, but the rest probably | Dec 18 14:14 |
| iophk | nice | Dec 18 14:14 |
| sebsebseb | may have to try and get for MINT as well if he can't, Ubuntu should be easy enough someone, others hae contacted for those to | Dec 18 14:14 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I think put in some Magiea stuff in the freebies | Dec 18 14:14 |
| iophk | good | Dec 18 14:14 |
| sebsebseb | he was ike to me, I don't really care what is given out, as long as it's relivent | Dec 18 14:14 |
| iophk | it's relevant | Dec 18 14:15 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: might have lost smething from the bag of stuff | Dec 18 14:15 |
| sebsebseb | I had yesterday not suire quite | Dec 18 14:15 |
| sebsebseb | probably ok | Dec 18 14:15 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: Fedora worht having? | Dec 18 14:15 |
| sebsebseb | could get Fedora discs to | Dec 18 14:15 |
| sebsebseb | oh and the discs that's including for the remasterd distros | Dec 18 14:15 |
| sebsebseb | having a few offical ones | Dec 18 14:16 |
| iophk | Fedora is good but maybe not the best intro for beginners | Dec 18 14:16 |
| sebsebseb | yeah exactly that's why it's out as a remaster | Dec 18 14:16 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: might not be so keen on me ading in freebies of that to be honest I gues | Dec 18 14:16 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: what about CentOS I could get dics for that, but probably a bit silly | Dec 18 14:17 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I should probbly just stick to the stuff for those distro's :d | Dec 18 14:17 |
| sebsebseb | something Mageia | Dec 18 14:17 |
| sebsebseb | and | Dec 18 14:18 |
| sebsebseb | general thing like for Mozilla and a Libre Office flyer and the one about the LUG etc | Dec 18 14:18 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: event sticker get made to probaby | Dec 18 14:19 |
| iophk | what's on the sticker? | Dec 18 14:19 |
| sebsebseb | like what I sowed them probably if that | Dec 18 14:19 |
| sebsebseb | got to find out how much that costs etc | Dec 18 14:19 |
| sebsebseb | ,but the event name and a LUG | Dec 18 14:19 |
| sebsebseb | and a Tux probably | Dec 18 14:19 |
| iophk | Tux stickers are probably popular. | Dec 18 14:22 |
| sebsebseb | wel he gave one out at OGG Camp 13 | Dec 18 14:22 |
| sebsebseb | he made one | Dec 18 14:22 |
| sebsebseb | for that eent with thier LUG and a Tux | Dec 18 14:22 |
| sebsebseb | looks nice, so someting like that | Dec 18 14:22 |
| iophk | "Many companies using Linux pay Microsoft patent royalties for its operating system intellectual property{sic}. " | Dec 18 14:25 |

| sebsebseb | iophk: would you go to Amsterdam after FOSDEM | Dec 18 14:26 |
| iophk | Probably, if I were going. | Dec 18 14:26 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: there's this guy going from USA frm the project after, but | Dec 18 14:26 |
| sebsebseb | I think if going from USA it makes sense | Dec 18 14:26 |
| sebsebseb | even when the wehater won't be that great etc | Dec 18 14:27 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: ,but when lviingg in Europe anyway well | Dec 18 14:27 |
| sebsebseb | I mean could fly when it's cheaper in the summer or something | Dec 18 14:27 |
| iophk | Amsterdam has a major airport, he may have to change planes there anyway. | Dec 18 14:27 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I am just a bit unsure if I want to join him or not as well | Dec 18 14:28 |
| iophk | If so, then it's no real extra cost (usually) to stay over a day or three. | Dec 18 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | I mean I'll go a day earier on the Thursday to meet him | Dec 18 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | ,but I probably won't really want to travel on the train on Sunday evening | Dec 18 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: plus he goes on the Thursday morning | Dec 18 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | so i I am still there, I won't get a plane untill the eening | Dec 18 14:28 |
| iophk | will you ride through the 'chunnel' ? | Dec 18 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | there's something going on on that THurday evening probably around here | Dec 18 14:29 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: no no Dover or wherever the tunnel went is a bit past ondon | Dec 18 14:29 |
| sebsebseb | yeah Dover | Dec 18 14:29 |
| sebsebseb | and London is like two hours or so away from here | Dec 18 14:29 |
| sebsebseb | the motorway etc | Dec 18 14:29 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: so it's better to just fly in my case | Dec 18 14:29 |
| sebsebseb | can go from the the air port nearish to here etc | Dec 18 14:29 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: that could be like two hours to get to whatever train to get to France etc | Dec 18 14:30 |
| sebsebseb | qucker and easier to just fly | Dec 18 14:30 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: he's going to some hotel in Amsterdam on the Sunday evening | Dec 18 14:31 |
| sebsebseb | that has a sports bar | Dec 18 14:31 |
| sebsebseb | and watch the super bowel | Dec 18 14:31 |
| iophk | boooring | Dec 18 14:31 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I don't really have any interest in the super bowl as such, since not American | Dec 18 14:31 |
| sebsebseb | oh you don't watch that? | Dec 18 14:31 |
| iophk | no | Dec 18 14:31 |
| sebsebseb | to geeky? | Dec 18 14:31 |
| iophk | no it's too boring. | Dec 18 14:31 |
| iophk | No action. | Dec 18 14:32 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: he's quite a lot older this guy I could join in a way, but | Dec 18 14:32 |
| sebsebseb | that's more hotel cost and travel hasle a bit an all that you know | Dec 18 14:32 |
| sebsebseb | and I don't want to watch the super bowl particuarlly like he does | Dec 18 14:32 |
| iophk | best to skip it then | Dec 18 14:32 |
| sebsebseb | plus he would leave on Thurday morning, with me still being thre, beause not raely a early moring prson | Dec 18 14:32 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: yeah and what you going to do in Amsterdam, the weahter could be like it is here right now | Dec 18 14:33 |
| sebsebseb | windy with a lot of rain | Dec 18 14:33 |
| sebsebseb | or it could be snowey or something | Dec 18 14:33 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: I could go backo n the Wednesdy if I wre to I gues, but it seems a bit pointless | Dec 18 14:33 |
| iophk | Anything you want to see in Belgium? | Dec 18 14:33 |
| sebsebseb | Amsterdam would be nice to go to though, but in the summer :) | Dec 18 14:33 |
| sebsebseb | been to other parts of Belguim already, but I am stuck in the city I think for this trip really again, but that's ok | Dec 18 14:34 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: Monday may get a bit boring | Dec 18 14:35 |
| sebsebseb | and Sunday evening | Dec 18 14:35 |
| sebsebseb | if stll there | Dec 18 14:35 |
| sebsebseb | ,but | Dec 18 14:35 |
| sebsebseb | depends | Dec 18 14:35 |
| sebsebseb | iophk: then may not want to do same things in Amsterdam really anyway and so on | Dec 18 14:37 |
| sebsebseb | so probably better to not go there with him | Dec 18 14:37 |
| iophk | probably not | Dec 18 14:37 |

| TechrightsBot-tr | www.bloomberg.com | North Carolina Shows How to Crush the Unemployed - Bloomberg [ http://ur1.ca/g7zkh ] | Dec 19 02:41 |
| DaemonFC | North Carolina's Republican government has abandoned the unemployed by rejecting more federal funds for emergency unemployment benefits. | Dec 19 02:41 |
| DaemonFC | So, North Carolina offers us a glimpse at what will happen nationally when the Republicans succeed in doing it to 1.3 million more people across the country in a few more days. | Dec 19 02:41 |
| DaemonFC | North Carolina's Republicans have unintentionally proven that unemployment income doesn't discourage people from looking for work, but that losing that income discourages them to quit looking for work permanently. | Dec 19 02:41 |
| DaemonFC | Since receiving UI requires people to actively look for work and prove that they are doing it, the incentive to look for work is built into the system. Since North Carolina cut off unemployment benefits, 77,000 people there quit looking for any kind of work at all. | Dec 19 02:41 |
| DaemonFC | What's depressing about this is that since they gave up, they'll no longer count as unemployed, and the Republican Party can point to lower "unemployment" numbers as proof that their cruel UI cuts are "working". | Dec 19 02:41 |
| DaemonFC | I emailed that one to Richard Stallman. | Dec 19 02:45 |
| DaemonFC | I edited it to add the line "There's no reason to when there are no jobs for them, and they're not going to receive a dime for trying to look for one anyway." | Dec 19 02:45 |

| DaemonFC | 2. At least one Galaxy S4 phone caught fire while someone was charging it. Instead of admitting the problem and offering him a free replacement, Samsung used a bogus Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaint to get his Youtube video of him talking about what happened taken down. | Dec 19 03:49 |

| DaemonFC | The federal CAFE standards, which will eventually require the US fleet to have the average fuel economy of a Toyota Prius, are admirable, but we need to get away from the gasoline engine completely. | Dec 19 06:09 |
| DaemonFC | There is only so much energy potential in a gallon of gasiline. Even modern "efficient" internal combustion engines waste almost 80% of that energy. That's only a slight improvement from the 1990s, when the internal combustion engines wasted about 85% of the energy potential of gasoline. | Dec 19 06:09 |
| DaemonFC | Eventually, it will be impossible for engines to become more efficient, or for a car's weight to be reduced. Demand pressure for fossil fuels is growing faster than the market for lighter and more efficient cars is, as the already-unsustainable human population of Earth continues to rise. | Dec 19 06:09 |
| DaemonFC | 20 years ago, a gallon of gasoline was 90 cents a gallon. Maybe $1 on a bad day. 20 years from now, you can expect to pay $7-8 per gallon. | Dec 19 06:09 |
| DaemonFC | What would it take for the price to go down? We need population decline, to reduce the demand pressure, or to move to alternative and renewable energy sources. | Dec 19 06:09 |

| MinceR | :) | Dec 19 06:56 |
| DaemonFC | Everything here has gotten worse since 1996. | Dec 19 06:56 |
| DaemonFC | The United States economy hit its peak in the late 1990s. | Dec 19 06:56 |
| DaemonFC | 2000-2005 was "decent" to most people. | Dec 19 06:57 |
| DaemonFC | Around 2006, it was in obvious decline for most people, and the bottom fell out in 2008, of course. | Dec 19 06:57 |
| DaemonFC | Obesity rates have gone up as household income has gone down. | Dec 19 06:57 |
| DaemonFC | Some people figure that this is because cheap food is highly processed, and has more calories. I suppose that's a reasonable explanation. | Dec 19 06:58 |
| MinceR | indeed | Dec 19 06:58 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think the economy was doing well in the 1990s because we had exceptionally good leadership in the public sector. | Dec 19 06:58 |
| DaemonFC | It was a number of factors that all came together at the same time. | Dec 19 06:59 |
| MinceR | there's also that lower income results in worse life, and eating is a way to make oneself a big happier | Dec 19 06:59 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah. I try to cap the food budget at $7-8 per day. | Dec 19 07:00 |
| DaemonFC | In 2004, you could do well on $5 per day, but inflation has driven up food prices a lot. | Dec 19 07:00 |
| DaemonFC | I've thrown out some of the things that were causing a huge drag on my monthly budget, like cable TV. | Dec 19 07:01 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not alone there. | Dec 19 07:02 |
| DaemonFC | Cable TV has been losing about 1-2 million subscribers in the US each year for about the past 5 years. | Dec 19 07:02 |
| DaemonFC | That's not a bad thing though. | Dec 19 07:02 |
| DaemonFC | You have more money for stuff you need/want more, and it limits your exposure to bullshit by cutting off the direct bullshit pipeline of corporate news. | Dec 19 07:02 |
| DaemonFC | So, cutting off cable TV and getting tough on my ISP returned about $120 a month to my budget. | Dec 19 07:04 |

| TechrightsBot-tr | answers.yahoo.com | What would happen if someone put e85 in a non-e85 vehicle? [ http://ur1.ca/g80jj ] | Dec 19 07:15 |
| DaemonFC | If you did that by mistake, the best thing to do would just be to drive it until it's at about an eighth of a tank, and then refill on regular 87 octane gasoline. | Dec 19 07:16 |
| DaemonFC | Doing it once shouldn't do much harm. | Dec 19 07:16 |
| DaemonFC | If you run it like that constantly, you'll have problems eventually. | Dec 19 07:16 |
| DaemonFC | People were trying to use E85 in non-FFVs for a while because the economy sucked and gas prices rose above $4 a gallon. | Dec 19 07:17 |
| MinceR | i don't think they sell 87 octane gasoline here at all :> | Dec 19 07:17 |
| MinceR | it's just 95, 98, 99 | Dec 19 07:17 |
| DaemonFC | But it's bad for the car, and you lose about 30% of your fuel mileage. | Dec 19 07:17 |
| DaemonFC | So it's really costing you more, even if your car can run on it. | Dec 19 07:17 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: That's odd. | Dec 19 07:18 |
| DaemonFC | Here, it's usually 87, 89, and 91. | Dec 19 07:18 |
| DaemonFC | Some stations sell 93 or 94. | Dec 19 07:18 |
| DaemonFC | If you get out into the mountains in Colorado, you might see 86. | Dec 19 07:18 |
| DaemonFC | Running your car on 86 shouldn't hurt anything. | Dec 19 07:19 |
| DaemonFC | I used to run mine on 86, because the station near my house offered it as "economy" gasoline. | Dec 19 07:19 |
| DaemonFC | It was usually 3-4 cents per gallon cheaper. | Dec 19 07:19 |
| DaemonFC | They got rid of it though, so I use 87 now. | Dec 19 07:19 |
| DaemonFC | The danger of using low octane gas is that your engine could start to knock and ping. | Dec 19 07:20 |
| MinceR | i think they tend to recommend 95 here for everything that runs on gas | Dec 19 07:20 |
| MinceR | we used 98 on our old crap commie imitation cars while we used them | Dec 19 07:20 |
| MinceR | now 98 and 99 are extra-expensive special gas with special add-ons or whatever | Dec 19 07:20 |
| DaemonFC | Well, the PCM on cars of the last 20-25 years should be able to adjust the timing appropriately, to avoid knocks and pings. | Dec 19 07:21 |
| MinceR | i wasn't really convinced they're worth the extra expense | Dec 19 07:21 |
| MinceR | indeed. | Dec 19 07:21 |
| DaemonFC | You're really just wasting money if you use higher octane fuel than the manual recommends. | Dec 19 07:21 |
| MinceR | i suspect the commie imitation cars couldn't adjust the timing at all. | Dec 19 07:21 |
| DaemonFC | You could. | Dec 19 07:21 |
| MinceR | at least not automatically | Dec 19 07:21 |
| DaemonFC | You had to do it manually though. If you're talking about cars with carburetors. | Dec 19 07:22 |
| DaemonFC | They had a timing screw. | Dec 19 07:22 |
| MinceR | indeed. | Dec 19 07:22 |
| DaemonFC | New cars do it on the fly. | Dec 19 07:22 |
| DaemonFC | I think they really should bring back 86 octane gas. | Dec 19 07:23 |
| DaemonFC | If it saves a nickel a gallon and modern cars run fine on it, why not sell it? :) | Dec 19 07:23 |
| DaemonFC | If you burn a tank of gas every week, that's $52 a year in savings. | Dec 19 07:23 |
| DaemonFC | That would help the economy, because each person would have an extra $52 to go spend on something that's not gasoline. | Dec 19 07:24 |
| DaemonFC | Well, they do blend it with ethanol now. | Dec 19 07:25 |
| DaemonFC | The EPA is going to mandate 15% ethanol very soon. | Dec 19 07:25 |
| DaemonFC | So really, they probably are using 84 or 85 octane gas, and selling it as 87, because the ethanol brings up the octane rating. | Dec 19 07:26 |
| DaemonFC | The lady that I bought this car from told me that she always used 94 octane gas. | Dec 19 07:26 |
| DaemonFC | I didn't have the heart to tell her that was a waste of money. | Dec 19 07:26 |
| DaemonFC | She was probably spending another $80-90 a year due to that. | Dec 19 07:26 |

| TechrightsBot-tr | bugs.winehq.org | WineHQ Bugzilla – Bug 33698 – Opera Next 15.x and 18.x crashes on startup (native API sandboxing/hooking scheme incompatible with Wine) [ http://ur1.ca/g80mz ] | Dec 19 07:27 |
| DaemonFC | This turned out to be an interesting bug. | Dec 19 07:27 |
| DaemonFC | I reported it a while back. | Dec 19 07:27 |
| MinceR | i think they do sell E85 here | Dec 19 07:28 |
| DaemonFC | Later on, someone else posted this: | Dec 19 07:28 |
| MinceR | never used it, my car isn't designed for it | Dec 19 07:28 |
| DaemonFC | "In short: Opera Next seems to employ a process sandboxing scheme by low-level hooking several native API (Ntxxx) expecting NT-style entry point layout. | Dec 19 07:28 |
| DaemonFC | The way the hooking is done won't work for Wine." | Dec 19 07:28 |
| DaemonFC | So, is that something that Chromium is doing? | Dec 19 07:29 |
| DaemonFC | Probably. | Dec 19 07:29 |
| DaemonFC | The Chromium sandbox on Windows is completely different than the one they use on GNU/Linux. | Dec 19 07:29 |
| MinceR | they developed crashe in an extremely winblows-centric mindset, without any foresight | Dec 19 07:30 |
| MinceR | and then they had to port it to other platforms | Dec 19 07:30 |
| DaemonFC | That's interesting, that they're using the NT Native API. | Dec 19 07:30 |
| DaemonFC | That's almost totally (officially) undocumented. | Dec 19 07:30 |
| DaemonFC | Most of what is known about it has been discovered without any help or official documentation from Microsoft. | Dec 19 07:30 |
| MinceR | ironically, even to chrome os and android | Dec 19 07:30 |
| MinceR | well, that's the way of the winblows developer | Dec 19 07:30 |
| DaemonFC | The Mozilla platform was truly portable from the beginning. | Dec 19 07:31 |
| MinceR | since this fancy "documentation" thing isn't exactly well known to the folks at redmond | Dec 19 07:31 |
| DaemonFC | At first, Google ONLY developed Chrome for Windows. | Dec 19 07:31 |
| MinceR | i know | Dec 19 07:31 |
| DaemonFC | They only worried about porting it much later. | Dec 19 07:31 |
| MinceR | and it was utterly stupid. | Dec 19 07:31 |
| DaemonFC | So they had to go back and redo a lot of the really fucking stupid things they did. | Dec 19 07:31 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: Microsoft didn't document it because they don't want people using it. | Dec 19 07:32 |
| MinceR | indeed | Dec 19 07:32 |
| MinceR | they don't want anyone but m$ developing software, ever | Dec 19 07:32 |
| MinceR | if what they do can be called "developing", anyway | Dec 19 07:32 |
| DaemonFC | They want people to develop software using Win32. | Dec 19 07:33 |
| MinceR | no, they want people to depend on m$ for everything, including applications | Dec 19 07:34 |
| DaemonFC | From my Facebook wall: | Dec 19 07:38 |
| DaemonFC | "I don't use Google Chrome because I think it's poorly designed and bloated, and because it's basically spyware." | Dec 19 07:39 |

| MinceR | ic | Dec 19 09:57 |
| MinceR | that's a bummer | Dec 19 09:57 |
| Sosumi | total bummer, because my current GPUs only have a single DP | Dec 19 09:58 |
| Sosumi | DP, hdmi and two DVI | Dec 19 09:58 |
| Sosumi | plus the HDMI could end up being used by some other device, like when I get a friend come in for some project and he brings his console, etc | Dec 19 10:00 |
| MinceR | does your GPU have plain DP or DP++? | Dec 19 10:00 |
| Sosumi | checking... | Dec 19 10:01 |
| Sosumi | gtx titan | Dec 19 10:01 |
| Sosumi | it's DP 1.2 | Dec 19 10:02 |
| MinceR | that seems to be orthogonal to DP++ (dual-mode DP) | Dec 19 10:03 |
| Sosumi | 1 - 3840x2160 at 30Hz or 4096x2160 at 24Hz supported over HDMI. 4096x2160 (including 3840x2160) at 60Hz supported over Displayport. Support for 4k tiled MST displays requires 326.19 driver or later. | Dec 19 10:04 |
| Sosumi | from nvidia website | Dec 19 10:04 |
| MinceR | anyway, if it can do dual-mode DP, then that too can be used to drive DVI/HDMI displays with a simple converter | Dec 19 10:04 |
| Sosumi | only 4k at 60Hz with DP | Dec 19 10:04 |

| schestowitz__ | So ... this is still based on the RPM package format, but has different dependency-resolving methods? | Dec 19 12:46 |
| schestowitz__ | My experience with RPM (long, though minimized to the extent possible) leaves me with a few observations: | Dec 19 12:47 |
| schestowitz__ | The dependency on a specific binary format (as opposed to DEBs which are a structure of tar, gzip, and ar) means that specific tools are required to unpack the packages. Though this isn't typically an issue, there are times it works against the model. | Dec 19 12:47 |
| schestowitz__ | Dependency resolution in general is poorer than APT/DEB-based systems. Mandriva presents an interesting contrast (RPM package format, APT package management). | Dec 19 12:47 |
| schestowitz__ | The real problem with RPM isn't the package management tools. It's the lack of a coherent policy governing packages. And among the worst offenders is Red Hat itself. | Dec 19 12:47 |
| schestowitz__ | Improving the file formats and technical procedures is lipstick on a pig until policy can be addressed. | Dec 19 12:47 |

| msb_ | Lucid dreaming is the waking up of the left-brain while we're dreaming (a state in which the right-brain is normally in control). | Dec 20 05:49 |
| iophk | Again, there is no "left" brain / "right" brain dichotomy as you are describing it. A trip to the university library to check out a neurobiology text will show that. | Dec 20 05:51 |
| msb_ | There are various methods of inducing lucid dreaming, many of which involve noticing clues in the dream about rationality and left-brain (linear) awareness. | Dec 20 05:51 |
| msb_ | Sorry iophk. Please read Wright's book, and begin by reading his interview and watching his video, linked above. | Dec 20 05:52 |
| iophk | No. | Dec 20 05:52 |
| iophk | Left-right has been debunked long ago, | Dec 20 05:52 |
| iophk | It was pop-pschology and is passed. | Dec 20 05:52 |
| iophk | past | Dec 20 05:52 |
| msb_ | If you never access information that disagrees with what you already believe, you will never learn anything new. | Dec 20 05:52 |
| iophk | It's not a matter of disagreement it is a matter of wrong. | Dec 20 05:53 |
| iophk | Lucid dreaming is a valid technique. It just that the explanation is different. | Dec 20 05:53 |
| msb_ | Anyhow, to continue, I think the solution for humankind's problem is to awaken the right-brain during waking hours, when the left-brain is dominant. | Dec 20 05:54 |
| iophk | I took the time to look that stuff up long ago. Do the courtesy to do the same. | Dec 20 05:54 |
| iophk | faux science is a pox. | Dec 20 05:54 |

| <--dyfet has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Dec 20 05:55 | |
| msb_ | One way to do this is to look for hints of right-brain operation -- associations, emotions, empathy, lyrical thoughts -- and follow and enhance them. This is analogous to the methods of achieving lucid dreaming. | Dec 20 05:56 |
| msb_ | Nutritional methods are also necessary -- adding bioflavonoids to the diet -- I've been taking 1 gram of citrus bioflavonoids per day for several weeks, | Dec 20 05:57 |
