schestowitzdoes anyone here use a voip service?Sep 16 00:50
schestowitzHad good experiences with Ekiga over the years. Looked up more information on Dixa, which had been mentioned. Digium is supposed to be OK, but I have not had experience with them personally. They're international.Sep 16 00:50

DaemonFC[m]MinceR: It's an XWayland problem. The performance just sucks, and it's not just GNOME that's going this way.Sep 16 20:30
DaemonFC[m]KDE has declared that kwin on x11 "deprecated" (still works but no new features).Sep 16 20:31
DaemonFC[m]It's probably a matter of time before GNOME and KDE just drop the X11 session option completely and tell you it's XWayland or nothing, regardless of whether games run like you just kicked your computer in the balls.Sep 16 20:32
DaemonFC[m]B-)Sep 16 20:32
DaemonFC[m]To be fair, X11 is such a mess that there are only 3-4 people in the world who understand how some parts of it work.Sep 16 20:33
DaemonFC[m]It was way worse. Since X.org forked from XFree86, it has lost a net total of around 800,000 lines of code despite having new features put in. Sep 16 20:34
DaemonFC[m]Including its own printing system that nobody used anymore. IIRC, that alone was almost 360,000 lines of code, when you also include the support for X printing in the bundled apps.Sep 16 20:35
DaemonFC[m]The problem with lugging around a bunch of crap that nobody uses anymore, other than bloat, is that sometimes nobody knows if it can or does work, and it's a lot of stuff that probably isn't being audited properly for security issues.Sep 16 20:36
DaemonFC[m]X is so large and so old that at one point, compiling just the server generated over 1,100 warnings from gcc.Sep 16 20:36
DaemonFC[m]In comparison, the Linux kernel is over 17 million lines of code and generates like 3-5 warnings on a typical build, assuming you're building ALL of the drivers that could end up being used on that architecture. Sep 16 20:37
DaemonFC[m]Nobody ever really fixed most of the compiler warnings for the X.org Server, either. Only a couple hundred were properly fixed.Sep 16 20:38
DaemonFC[m]Most of the rest were just silenced. If you're perfectly happy to have problems that the compiler just doesn't warn you about, that solves everything, I guess. :PSep 16 20:38
DaemonFC[m]X11 is an awful "standard" that simply became entrenched, and now if you try moving it to a compatibility context, the performance of many apps suffers.Sep 16 20:39
DaemonFC[m]Running Firefox on XWayland is okay. Running games on it is not.Sep 16 20:40
DaemonFC[m]Nobody is _ever_ going to go back and fix something like Borderlands 2.Sep 16 20:41
DaemonFC[m]It's in the back catalog and most of their sales net them a whole dollar during Steam Sales.Sep 16 20:41

oiaohmDaemonFC[m]: interesting suse has current linphone.   Most of the distributions I deal with its lucky to be 3.6.x in the package repository.Sep 16 21:24
oiaohmDaemonFC[m]: XWayland performance with games is mixed bag.   There are some games that perform just as well under Xwayland as they did under X11 itself.Sep 16 21:27
DaemonFC[m]DaemonFC: i hereby declare kde4+ and gnome2+ "deprecated"Sep 16 21:30
DaemonFC[m]MATE is an option, but nobody is maintaining KDE 4 at all.Sep 16 21:30
DaemonFC[m]They did get the memory usage of GNOME 3.30 down quite a bit.Sep 16 21:32
DaemonFC[m]Ubuntu is back to their old habits of mixing and matching components that were never meant to be shipped together.Sep 16 21:34
DaemonFC[m]They are still going to ship Nautilus 3.26 in Ubuntu 18.10, which is mostly GNOME 3.30 otherwise.Sep 16 21:34
DaemonFC[m]It's a shame that they ship software that upstream abandoned a year ago because "desktop icons", which are already available as a Shell Extension.Sep 16 21:37
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: I bet they just couldn't bother to port those to GTK+4Sep 16 21:38
DaemonFC[m]They aren't missing any one major feature that was added to Nautilus, but they are missing out on a grab bag of smaller ones and performance fixes that were added since then.Sep 16 21:38
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: Nautilus's desktop relies on making a window covering everythingSep 16 21:38
DaemonFC[m]The desktop support for Nautilus hadn't been actively maintained in several years and it was interfering with plans for Nautilus and the Shell.Sep 16 21:38
XRevan86but in GTK+4 that is no longer possible, as only individual GdkMonitor's are available for each physical displaySep 16 21:39
DaemonFC[m]Since GNOME doesn't do desktop icons by default, there wasn't a strong push to keep the support there.Sep 16 21:39
DaemonFC[m]It's kind of ridiculous anyway. There are two ways to get to a program. You can use the Overview or you can turn on the Applications and Places menus with Tweaks.Sep 16 21:40
DaemonFC[m]Desktop icons don't really make a lot of sense. I mean, you have to get to the desktop to use them, which is more difficult than opening a program or a place using the other methods.Sep 16 21:40
oiaohmKDE 1.0/2.0 are dead.   Trinity is attempting to keep KDE 3.0 design alive but as they openly admit qt4/5 are too different to prior versions of qt.Sep 16 22:18

oiaohmXRevan86: it is a changed feature.   The change means the shell knows where you mouse is and the desktop icon provider only find out if you click on something.Sep 16 22:26

MinceRalso, Qt went to hell anywaySep 16 22:30
MinceRmight as well stick with an older versionSep 16 22:30
oiaohmTrinity are running into more and more problems with the older Qt versions.Sep 16 22:32
oiaohmMinceR: the problem is older Qt has a stack of internal memory leak issues that are part of the design.Sep 16 22:32
MinceRand newer Qt lugs half a window manager around and has Qt QuickSep 16 22:33
MinceRQt Quick needs to be explicitly told "remember, you don't like this GPU, render in software"Sep 16 22:33
MinceRand it still renders white widgets from time to timeSep 16 22:33
MinceRand it still stops refreshing widgets until they're resizedSep 16 22:33
oiaohmQt quick I class as one of the biggest errors.Sep 16 22:34
MinceRit's a broken, unreliable messSep 16 22:34
MinceRand half the time QtWebEngine won't even buildSep 16 22:34
oiaohmJavascript what else do you expect.Sep 16 22:34
oiaohmLot of ways when you read what Qt quick/qml idea is I cannot see why you need javascript.  Why you could not use a turning incomplete language like bpf.Sep 16 22:35
MinceRand of course half a wm + 2 browsers (QtWebKit + QtWebEngine) = massive bloatSep 16 22:36
oiaohmlxqt and others does show want can be done with modern qt while avoiding qml.Sep 16 22:38
MinceRi like what can be done with Tk moreSep 16 22:40
oiaohmTK is turning incomplete for the basic interfance setup.  Sep 16 22:43
oiaohmI don't see why graphical feature setups need a turning complete language.  Ok application core needs to be turning complete but we don't need turning complete every where.Sep 16 22:44
MinceRi prefer "incomplete" to "over 3 times as big as necessary, and full of bugs"Sep 16 22:45
MinceRi also prefer "incomplete" to "no longer supports the application it was designed for AND still bloated as fuck"Sep 16 22:46
oiaohmTurning incomplete like bpf really does limit how bad a memory leak from that code will be as well.Sep 16 22:49
MinceRnot necessarilySep 16 22:49
MinceRyou could come up with a Turing-complete language which can literally only allocate memory and loopSep 16 22:49
MinceRs/comp/incomp/Sep 16 22:49
MinceRand it will do nothing _but_ leak :>Sep 16 22:50
oiaohmThe one thing about ebpf jumps are forwards and  loops have a fixed number of cycles before they must end.Sep 16 22:50
oiaohmthis is what makes it turning incomplete.Sep 16 22:51
oiaohmThat termination can be calculated. Sep 16 22:51
oiaohmBasically a leaking turning incomplete program will for sure stop leaking at some point.   Where a turning complete program can run for ever leaking Sep 16 22:54

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-ircz.de | IRCZ makes your life worth living Post objectSep 16 23:05
MinceRor you could just take a Turing-complete language and impose a step limit on itSep 16 23:06
oiaohmStep limit is extra defence.   Lot harder to enforce step limit when you are attempting to make native machine code.Sep 16 23:09
oiaohmbpf loop and jump limits means at build time you can calculate the max number of steps the code will use.Sep 16 23:10
MinceRyou could debug the code as it runsSep 16 23:11
oiaohmThat is overhead.Sep 16 23:11
MinceRand it doesn't have to be native codeSep 16 23:11
MinceRmemory leaks are overhead tooSep 16 23:11
oiaohmIf you are attempting to avoid bloat.Sep 16 23:11
MinceRTuring-incomplete code also limits what you can doSep 16 23:12
MinceRoften in hard-to-foresee waysSep 16 23:12
oiaohmI am not saying that turing incomplete is for everything.   But for effects and most of the stuff qml is used for there is no real need for turning complete language.Sep 16 23:13
oiaohmReally turing incomplete code does limit what you can do.   But having turing complete where you don't need it opens up more room for human error.Sep 16 23:15

DaemonFC[m]GTK+ still uses Webkit. Never went to Blink and I don't even think that there are any proposals to do that.Sep 16 23:31
DaemonFC[m]The layout is sort of like Internet Explorer and Trident, where the rendering engine is part of GTK+ and GNOME whether you have Evolution or Web installed at all.Sep 16 23:32

DaemonFC[m]Of course, this assumes that the "refresh my PC" thing even works at all.Sep 17 02:37

DaemonFC[m]So, there's the pathetic loser bits.Sep 17 03:25
DaemonFC[m]No, Jabba got really sick in November of 2015 and I had to have him put down.Sep 17 03:26
DaemonFC[m]He was havig thyroid and kidney issues. He wasn't eating and they told me there was nothing they could do for him.Sep 17 03:26

schestowitzmy dad had to put away all photos of his dogSep 17 03:27
DaemonFC[m]Yeah. I buried him out in the field behind my grandmother's house. Sep 17 03:27
DaemonFC[m]Decided to get another cat the next week. She's a maine coon. Her name is Bobbi Jo.Sep 17 03:28
DaemonFC[m]And John already had his cat Leeloo. They get along well.Sep 17 03:28
DaemonFC[m]Leeloo was pregnant and someone abandoned her in the hallway of the apartment building.Sep 17 03:29
DaemonFC[m]So we took her in and started feeding her, and then she kept getting bigger and bigger. I was like, uh oh.Sep 17 03:29
DaemonFC[m]So I set up this area with some old blankets and stuff for her to give birth in, and she does it in John's brand new coat instead. :PSep 17 03:29

DaemonFC[m]Speaking of which, I should put cat food in my grocery cart right now. Sep 17 03:34
DaemonFC[m]They have this new thing at Walmart where you order your groceries on their site and then just pull up and have them load all of it into the car.Sep 17 03:35
schestowitzargh.. amazonSep 17 03:35
DaemonFC[m]I guess their encouragement to use it is if you don't, you spend an hour in the store tripping over everyone's kids and then 40 minutes in line to check out.Sep 17 03:35
DaemonFC[m]Amazon is probably the reason they do this now.Sep 17 03:36

DaemonFC[m]Jewel is worse.Sep 17 03:37
DaemonFC[m]They give their employees 12 hour weeks. Sep 17 03:37
DaemonFC[m]And pass the savings along to you, in the form of 30% higher grocery bills than Walmart.Sep 17 03:38
DaemonFC[m]Jewel has oversaturated the market. They put one every several blocks to make sure that competitors can't get in.Sep 17 03:38
schestowitzwe often buy almost expired foodsSep 17 03:41
schestowitzthose are heavily discounted if you know the right place and time to buySep 17 03:41
schestowitzand you help prevent food wasteSep 17 03:41
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: They mark stuff down near the last day at Walmart. Sep 17 03:47
DaemonFC[m]There's a company called Imperfect Produce that you can get deliveries from.Sep 17 03:47
DaemonFC[m]They sell stuff by the pound that's okay to eat, just too ugly to put in the store.Sep 17 03:48
DaemonFC[m]I mostly buy store brand stuff wherever I can.Sep 17 03:48
DaemonFC[m]I found out that Walmart's Equate knock off of the Gilette Mach 3 razors are half the price and they give you a better shave.Sep 17 03:49
DaemonFC[m]I've been cutting more corners than normal with the car payment. Sep 17 03:49
DaemonFC[m]In a lot of ways, it's good that it's made me more careful about my money. Sep 17 03:50
DaemonFC[m]I had developed a lot of bad habits, like buying Starbucks coffee at the store when Great Value was fine. Sep 17 03:50

DaemonFC[m]They tend to mutilate your face. :PSep 17 03:54
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: Yeah, they used to put out $2-3 off coupons during the recession, to keep people buying the Gilette ones.Sep 17 03:56

DaemonFC[m]The people on the south side are murdering, raping, robbing each other and then the police are the bad guys when they shoot a criminal.Sep 17 03:58
DaemonFC[m]It's ridiculous. Sep 17 03:59
DaemonFC[m]You've got 700 murders in a year sometimes and then the police kill one asshole that was reaching for a gun and that's the scandal.Sep 17 03:59
schestowitzbrb, i need to finish an articleSep 17 04:00
schestowitzcannot multitaskSep 17 04:00
DaemonFC[m]So, I ran across an interesting article yesterday. Sep 17 04:01
DaemonFC[m]Chase has been terminating credit card accounts and won't tell people why.Sep 17 04:01
DaemonFC[m]When the news investigated, it came to the conclusion that Chase is being really aggressive with the "know your customer" requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act.Sep 17 04:02
DaemonFC[m]It's doing automated searches of things like Google News and if a name pops up in a story about a crime or something, they terminate all of that person's accounts.Sep 17 04:02
DaemonFC[m]Sometimes they didn't even have to do something illegal. Sometimes it's for working at a company that the government is investigating.Sep 17 04:03
DaemonFC[m]Makes me wonder if all of my credit cards could get turned off if there's another Ryan Farmer out there that turns up in a negative news article.Sep 17 04:04
DaemonFC[m]I know for a fact that there's a sex offender in Indiana with that name, although his middle initial is different and so is his age.Sep 17 04:05
DaemonFC[m]And the cities that he's lived in.Sep 17 04:05

cubexyzI think this game is actually 320x200 and scummvm doubles that to 640x400Sep 17 05:24
oiaohmIf you have 16:9 screen and you are doing 640x400 you just be happy with black bars on the left and right side of the picture.Sep 17 05:24

cubexyzyeah Sep 18 01:27
cubexyzthey were above average episodesSep 18 01:27
cubexyzDatalore and the Big Goodbye were decentSep 18 01:28
XRevan86And, of course, if this planet hasn't fixed their sterility problem, this will give them no more than another 80 yearsSep 18 01:28

cubexyza lot of those first season Star Trek NG I probably only watched onceSep 18 01:31
XRevan86cubexyz: Apparently they're sterile because of the UV radiation due to the ozone layer being weakenedSep 18 01:45

schestowitzI heard this beforeSep 18 04:02
schestowitzthey used to say particular gases in spray cans contributed to the problemSep 18 04:02
cubexyzit was the propellants used in aerosol productsSep 18 04:14

cubexyzdue to the Clean Air ActSep 18 04:15
cubexyzthen in 1987 there was the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement signed by 191 countries phasing out CFCsSep 18 04:16
cubexyzoriginally deodorant sprays, shaving cream cans used CFCsSep 18 04:17

DaemonFC[m]Yeah, I used to use it when I was a teenager. For several years, there was nothing else for Windows with broad compatibility, minimal UI, and low resource usage. Sep 18 21:12
DaemonFC[m]It was one of the first software players to have Ogg Vorbis and FLAC support.Sep 18 21:12
DaemonFC[m]I suppose that if you find the unreleased Winamp 2.95 floating around somewhere, that it still does play FLAC and Vorbis, but the decoder plug-ins may have bugs that never got fixed in the 2.x series.Sep 18 21:14
DaemonFC[m]For a while, Winamp used the AMP decoder for MP3, under license from a third party. Then they decided that they didn't want to pay the licensing fees and wrote their own plug-in that had serious playback bugs. Sep 18 21:15
DaemonFC[m]"Nitrane". Anyway, the guy that made AMP accused them of stealing AMP code for Nitrane and sued, and it got settled out of court under undisclosed terms. Winamp eventually licensed the Fruanhofer MP# decoder. Sep 18 21:16
DaemonFC[m]Anyway, if you see old 1.x or earlier versions in screenshots and wonder why it was styled as "WinAMP", that's why.Sep 18 21:16
DaemonFC[m]Winamp 3 was a disaster. AOL had taken them over and bloated it with their own "features" and a theme engine that used a ton of resources. I ended up sticking with Winamp 2.95 for a long time. I seem to recall it leaking on their own forum. By the time they took it down, OldVersion had it archived. Sep 18 21:18
DaemonFC[m]I asked them if there would ever be a 64-bit version for 64-bit Windows and one of them told me no, because it would break existing plug-ins and many of the plug-ins had been abandoned by their authors.Sep 18 21:19
DaemonFC[m]They started to do a Linux port, but only released one alpha-quality build, as an RPM that was intended to run on a (now) ancient version of  Red Hat Linux.Sep 18 21:20
DaemonFC[m]I think it used GTK+ 1. There might be a way to make it work on modern distributions. JWZ posted instructions on how to get old versions of Netscape from the 90s to run, and that works.Sep 18 21:21

DaemonFC[m]AOL realized that they owned mcom.com (from when Netscape was called Mosaic Communications) and that it wasn't doing anything but redirecting to netscape.com, and the redirect only mattered if you were using old browsers that nobody was using anymore. So, they thought "Hey, four letter dotcom domain. We'll sell it to a spammer and make lots of money.". JWZ was able to talk them out of it and give control of the domainSep 18 21:23

DaemonFC[m]Winamp 2.95 running on Wine 3.16 on Fedora 29.Sep 19 03:50
*DaemonFC[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/onRBAFSOsmIxxcNhdzYBlvkR >Sep 19 03:50
DaemonFC[m] One feature I did like is the memory usage of less than 10 MB. A feature that neither Microsoft nor anyone else can seem to replicate today.Sep 19 03:53

DaemonFC[m]This build got out there before Nullsoft, under AOL, bloated and ruined Winamp with the Winamp 3 release. While Winamp 2.95 definitely tries to pester you with AOL garbage, you can refuse to install any of it, and none of it would work if it was installed anyway. Many people, including myself, continued using Winamp 2.95 well into the late 2000s, especially since it was still working on at least Windows 7.Sep 19 03:58
DaemonFC[m] Dunno if Windows 10 can still run it. I don't have Windows so I can't figure this out.Sep 19 03:58
<--viera has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)Sep 19 04:00
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: Winamp 2.95 proves that after a certain point, a program is basically complete and if someone touches it, they'll only make it worse. :)Sep 19 04:16
DaemonFC[m]Even today, you could improve Winamp 2.95 without touching it by compiling newer codecs in the Winamp plugin format. Sep 19 04:17
DaemonFC[m]About the only thing it needs is that and an update to be HiDPI aware.Sep 19 04:17
DaemonFC[m]I doubt Winamp 5.8 will be an improvement over the AOL years and even if it is, they'll probably compound the error of adding more stuff that nobody wants.Sep 19 04:18

schestowitzYou are doing a very fine job with Linux. Considering the tug from many directions (UEFI, systemd, Hyper-V, DRM, Speck etc.) and many corporations with their own orthogonal interests, you've coped very well. They can't break you. Don't let them wear you out. I know they selectively use your mouth against you by cherry-picking 0.01% of what you say, even coming up with crazy headlines based on long interviews that you did. Myself and others --Sep 19 17:25

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Why are groceries so expensive in the US? - QuoraSep 19 22:30
DaemonFC[m]Are they expensive compared to Western Europe?Sep 19 22:30
DaemonFC[m]It's really bad at Whole Foods because they cater to nutcases who will spend twice as much on anything.Sep 19 22:30
DaemonFC[m]The former CEO of Whole Foods was a libertarian crank who armed store security with Glock 40's and prosecuted homeless people for stealing an apple, who railed about having to proviide his employees health insurance after Obamacare passed.Sep 19 22:31
schestowitzDaemonFC[m]: haSep 19 22:32
schestowitzyou should try SingaporeSep 19 22:32
schestowitzGroceries aren't so expensive in the USSep 19 22:32
DaemonFC[m]The cost of shopping there led to the nickname Whole Paycheck, and their former CEO went on a tear about that too, claiming that Americans are "spoiled" to be spending "the lowest percentage of take home pay on groceries, ever." and that's why we think their prices are astronomical. Sep 19 22:32
schestowitz(compared to a lot of other countries)Sep 19 22:32
DaemonFC[m]Amazon said they'd get prices under control at Whole Foods, but they lied.Sep 19 22:33
DaemonFC[m]They lowered them on some things. Attention grabbers like bananas and milk.Sep 19 22:33
DaemonFC[m]And you can get 3-5% back on your Amazon.com Visa card depending on if you're a Prime customer or not. Sep 19 22:33
DaemonFC[m]But it's still way more expensive than going to Walmart.Sep 19 22:33
DaemonFC[m]I get 2% back on everything with my Citi card. Walmart keeps wanting me to sign up for their Walmart Visa that does 3% on online and grocery pickup, but I've read that dealing with Synchrony Bank is the 7th circle of hell, so I'm happy with my 2%. :PSep 19 22:35
DaemonFC[m]Well, 2% doesn't sound like much until you consider that the two of us go through about $7,000 worth of groceries alone in a typical year, and 2% adds up to $140 just on that alone. :PSep 19 22:36
<--Firee has quit (Quit: lolmoi)Sep 19 22:36
DaemonFC[m]We route about $12,000 in bills through my credit card each year. $240 in rewards. Figure in inflation, and it's about $2,600 over 10 years. It's....not nothing. :)Sep 19 22:38
DaemonFC[m]The Federal Reserve studied it. The rewards come from the swipe fee that the card companies charge the merchant. They turn around and give it to me. So, the prices in the store are figured according to what percentage of customers have what cards at what fees, who uses cash or checks, etc. It ends up being a transfer of money from people who use checks, cash, and debit to people who use credit cards. Sep 19 22:40
DaemonFC[m]The net effect is that the people who are poor and with lousy credit use cash, checks, and debit, and people with more money and better credit scores use the credit cards to get rewards. So it's generally an upwards wealth transfer. :/Sep 19 22:41
MinceRso how likely is that your cashback in a year exceeds the yearly fee for the card? how likely is that it exceeds that significantly?Sep 19 22:42
DaemonFC[m]The card companies are't just giving you rewards points to be nice to you. It encourages you to use their card and generate as many swipe fees for their bank as possible. Sep 19 22:42
DaemonFC[m]I have no annual fee. Sep 19 22:42
MinceRniceSep 19 22:42
DaemonFC[m]Every dollar I get out of the card is a dollar I keep.Sep 19 22:42
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: I get other perks. Lots of them!Sep 19 22:43
DaemonFC[m]I don't know all of them, but the big ones are extended warranties on everything I buy, lemon protection, price protection, and early access to concert tickets.Sep 19 22:43
MinceRwhich credit card copmany is that?Sep 19 22:44
DaemonFC[m]The Price Protection I use quite a bit. I register everything I buy and it looks for better prices, but so do I and I always submit them, even if it's only a few dollars. Sep 19 22:44
DaemonFC[m]The lemon protection works kind of like....You buy a laptop. Within 90 days it breaks, fails, or someone steals it. Sep 19 22:44
DaemonFC[m]The store won't take it back, so the card company gives you a refund.Sep 19 22:44
DaemonFC[m]If their contracted service company can't fix it. If it's stolen, you'll need to provide a police report.Sep 19 22:45
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Citi. The Double Cash Mastercard.Sep 19 22:45
DaemonFC[m]The drawback is that the interest rate is by far the highest of all the cards I have. Sep 19 22:45
MinceRand what do they do with the data they collect on what you buy from whom and when?Sep 19 22:45
DaemonFC[m]So make sure you pay the bill in full every month!Sep 19 22:45
DaemonFC[m]Tthat's another drawback. Since it's a Mastercard, they sell the data to Google.Sep 19 22:46
DaemonFC[m]Then Google uses it in their advertising platform while you're online. Sep 19 22:46
DaemonFC[m]There's lots of ways to make money from people who won't pay interest.Sep 19 22:47
DaemonFC[m]The auto industry does it all the time. Sep 19 22:47
DaemonFC[m]They bake it into their business model. They run promotions like "$2,000 instant rebate -or- 0% APR".Sep 19 22:47
DaemonFC[m]So if you take one you can't have the other.Sep 19 22:48
DaemonFC[m]If you take the 0%, they don't give you the $2,000. So They do make money on the loan, even at 0%.Sep 19 22:48
DaemonFC[m]Now, if you financed for 66 months at 5%, you're going to pay a lot more interest than $2,000, so often it's better to take the zero interest.Sep 19 22:49
MinceRicSep 19 22:49
DaemonFC[m]Some people don't have good enough credit for zero interest or they just happen to have enough to buy the vehicle right there.Sep 19 22:49
DaemonFC[m]They take the $2,000, obviously.Sep 19 22:49
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: It's kind of a gimmick. They know that people view money spent on interest as wasted on nothing, so they oblige.Sep 19 22:50
DaemonFC[m]Then they sell the car to you at a slightly higher price. :)Sep 19 22:50
DaemonFC[m]Sometimes you can work the system a little more to your advantage. Sep 19 22:51
DaemonFC[m]The car company is having a hard time moving a particular model, so they give incentives to the dealer directly. Sep 19 22:51
DaemonFC[m]It's called a spiff. Sep 19 22:51
DaemonFC[m]Say that model is nearing the end of the year or the sales have been down. They might pay the dealer a spiff to move them.Sep 19 22:52
DaemonFC[m]The spiff might be something like $1,500. So the dealer takes $$300 and tells the salesmen, "Move that car and you get another $300 on each unit.".Sep 19 22:52
DaemonFC[m]Out of the remaining $1,200, you might be able to talk the dealer down by $800, and they keep the remaining $400.Sep 19 22:53
DaemonFC[m]So it's possible to talk them down and they take the money out of their spiff and you get the zero interest as well.Sep 19 22:53
DaemonFC[m]Sometimes they even sell the vehicle at almost no profit whatsoever to get it off their lot. They know you'll be back for service and for warranty issues and they'll make money later. Sep 19 22:54
-->Diomedes (~Diomedes@197.42.112.189) has joined #techrightsSep 19 22:54
DaemonFC[m]The negotiation begins at the "manufacturers suggested retail price", which is a padded number to give the dealer the upper hand when negotiations start.Sep 19 22:55
DaemonFC[m]If you can't get them down by at least 4-5%, you may want to reconsider and try your luck somewhere else.Sep 19 22:55
DaemonFC[m]In all, it's a horrible and stressful process and it's entrenched into law because of special interests.Sep 19 22:56
DaemonFC[m]If you could buy a car direct from the manufactuer, it would save you an average of $2,600.Sep 19 22:56
DaemonFC[m]That's why dealerships are doing whatever it takes to get "Anti-Tesla" laws.Sep 19 22:56
DaemonFC[m]If they can get direct sales of Teslas bannd in that state, it means that a dealership opens up, buys the cars from Tesla, marks them up, and then tries to strongarm everyone who comes in the door. :PSep 19 22:57
DaemonFC[m]If Tesla gives up and leaves, they still win because then they can sell you a Chevy Bolt or something.Sep 19 22:57
DaemonFC[m]I don't think that the major car manufacturers are scared of Tesla at all. It's clear that Tesla will never make a dollar in profit. Like Uber, they are burning through investor capital at a fercious pace on the theory that they'll gain market share and then profit somewhere down the line. :PSep 19 22:59
<--Diomedes has quit (Remote host closed the connection)Sep 19 22:59
DaemonFC[m]It's also obvious why Elon Musk went on Joe Rogan and smoked a joint.Sep 19 22:59
DaemonFC[m]Tesla stock went down 10% and he bought more shares at that price, and then it bounced back up.Sep 19 22:59
DaemonFC[m]In our system right now, business does pretty much whatever it wants. Sep 19 23:00
DaemonFC[m]What he did was certainly illegal, yet he profits from it anyway.Sep 19 23:01
DaemonFC[m]I saw some articles about Sears failing. Eddie Lampert is blaming retirees for drawing their pension checks.Sep 19 23:01
DaemonFC[m]The guy is a real class act. :PSep 19 23:02
DaemonFC[m]Federal law says that if you smoke marijuana you can't get a security clearance. Sep 19 23:03
DaemonFC[m]Elon Musk has security clearances because NASA and the US Air Force gave SpaceX a bunch of contracts.Sep 19 23:04
DaemonFC[m]Last I heard, the Air Force said that they were looking into it, and then the news went quiet. Sep 19 23:04
DaemonFC[m]I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if some of our national secrets are being slipped to the Chinese through security breaches at companies like SpaceX.Sep 19 23:06
DaemonFC[m]The way Elon Musk runs companies, they're assembling Tesla Model 3s in a tent, and people are driving off the lot and having their bumpers fall off.Sep 19 23:06
DaemonFC[m]Quality!Sep 19 23:06
DaemonFC[m]I read a story about how if you buy a Tesla, they take really good care of you until the warranty ends and then you can barely find a place to have it serviced. Sep 19 23:07
DaemonFC[m]A guy in Washington state said that his warranty ran out and he had some major component fail and the car was undrivable, so Tesla kept pushing back his appointments and 3 weeks later he just gave up and found someone that's in the business of salvaging things from "parts cars".Sep 19 23:08
DaemonFC[m]It's kinda dicey because Tesla not only doesn't sell parts to any independents, they also don't publish repair manuals.Sep 19 23:08
MinceRand their cars are backdoored and unreliableSep 19 23:09
MinceRbut hey, it's 'hip' and 'cool' so who caresSep 19 23:09
DaemonFC[m]So he might trick people into buying a Tesla Model 3 for $40,000 that was slapped together in a tent by people working 70 hour weeks.Sep 19 23:09
DaemonFC[m]And they might be able to get service....for 3 years.Sep 19 23:09
DaemonFC[m]But after this, who wants to buy a car from them again?Sep 19 23:09
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Yeah, I mean at least I could get my Kia serviced by an independent shop at some point if I needed to. Sep 19 23:10
MinceR:>Sep 19 23:10
DaemonFC[m]The air conditioner went out on me early this month.Sep 19 23:11
DaemonFC[m]They had me in and out in two days, and it was covered under the warranty.Sep 19 23:11
DaemonFC[m]They even gave me a car to drive in the mean time in case the part took too long to get there.Sep 19 23:11
DaemonFC[m]Although I think that they broke the second thing that was wrong with it after they fixed the first thing.Sep 19 23:12

MinceRyeah, but while the Crown Victoria itself may stay intact in a crash, you may get banged up since it doesn't absorb enough energySep 19 23:14

DaemonFC[m]Those things cost about $1,600 EACH to repack.Sep 19 23:15
MinceRbut hey, at least you get out aliveSep 19 23:15
DaemonFC[m]Eh, the Crown Victoria had front airbags.Sep 19 23:15
DaemonFC[m]No side airbags, but if it held up at least as well in a side impact as my old Lumina did, that wouldn't matter.Sep 19 23:15
DaemonFC[m]The door caught the impact even without an airbag going off. It was hit in the side by a PT Cruiser going about 55.Sep 19 23:16
DaemonFC[m]The guy was drunk and ran a stop light.Sep 19 23:16
MinceRthey do test side impactsSep 19 23:16
DaemonFC[m]It's actually fairly common for the airbag itself to injure you.Sep 19 23:17
DaemonFC[m]In the front, that's great because it beats having your head hit the steering wheel.Sep 19 23:17
DaemonFC[m]Dunno about the sides and the one in the ceiling.Sep 19 23:18
DaemonFC[m]It just seems like these new cars are too light and cheaply made to survive well in a wreck,Sep 19 23:18
MinceRit probably injures you less than the steel structural elements wouldSep 19 23:18
DaemonFC[m]I mean, the car will be finished for sure. I guess if it keeps me safe, that's great. Although by the time the finance company comes a calling, I might wish otherwise. :PSep 19 23:18
DaemonFC[m]Meh, John's stepmom had a lady run into the side of their Prius, and they got the Prius fixed. The airbags did go off.Sep 19 23:19

DaemonFC[m]Yeah, funny how that almost never works out. :)Sep 19 23:21
DaemonFC[m]Mom's ex husband Brian's son got out on bail and fled Indiana to go to Alabama. Sep 19 23:22
DaemonFC[m]5 years later, he's back in Indiana and the driver of the truck he's in gets pulled over for speeding. Sep 19 23:22
DaemonFC[m]So he gets arrested and sentenced to 2 weeks for what he ran away from, a year for running away, and then while he was down in Alabama, he was working with a bunch of illegal immigrants under a stolen Social Security number, and the business gets raided.Sep 19 23:23
DaemonFC[m]The IRS finds out that he hasn't been paying his taxes.Sep 19 23:23
DaemonFC[m]So, while all of this was going on, I was living with mom and Brian, and I didn't like his son very much, so I called the IRS anonymously and told them where he was.Sep 19 23:24
DaemonFC[m]I swear everyone around me has relatives like that. Now it's John's sister's boyfriend. He thinks that living in Indiana makes him safe from a Texas arrest warrant.Sep 19 23:27

oiaohmMinceR: its a over due debate over the Code of Conduct /Code of Conflict.   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8a104f8b5867c682d994ffa7a74093c54469c11fSep 20 08:07
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-git.kernel.org | kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git - Linux kernel source treeSep 20 08:07
oiaohmMinceR: waiting until two parties are already out for blood as the old Code of Conflict did for the Linux kernel has been a problem.Sep 20 08:08
MinceRit would be better if the people who waste the time of kernel developers with bullshit like this would not do soSep 20 08:09
schestowitzhmmmSep 20 08:12
schestowitzmy laptop screen started having some wavy sort of blickingSep 20 08:13
schestowitzlike brightness going up and down real fastSep 20 08:13
MinceRit would also be better if microsoft and vmware didn't get even more power over Linux than they already haveSep 20 08:13
schestowitzany fix for this?Sep 20 08:13
schestowitz10-year-old laptopSep 20 08:13
MinceRdunnoSep 20 08:13
oiaohmMinceR: read the Code of Conflict it says the linux foundations tab will apply their rules to this.   Without in fact telling anyone what the rules are.Sep 20 08:13
MinceRoiaohm: of course. this is a CoC written by a crybully.Sep 20 08:14
oiaohmMinceR: really there has been need to a proper code of conduct that the developers of the Linux kernel do agree on.Sep 20 08:14
MinceRdid you expect anything about it to be benign?Sep 20 08:14
oiaohmI am expecting 12 to 18 months of dispute over it.Sep 20 08:14
oiaohmschestowitz: normally old laptop screen issues the simplest is plug in external monitor more often than not its the cable though the hinge getting too cracked and at 10 years old getting a replacement one can be very uphill.Sep 20 08:16
oiaohmMinceR: please note using CoC is not helpful with the Linux kernel the old one is Code of Conflict that is CoC and the new one is Code of Conduct.Sep 20 08:18
oiaohmMinceR: also CoCSep 20 08:18
MinceRCall of CthulhuSep 20 08:18
oiaohmFairly much.Sep 20 08:18
oiaohmMinceR: playing Call of Cthulhu and solving it would be simpler than working out the out come of a complaint under the old Code of Conflict.Sep 20 08:19
MinceRwhile under the new one you just get thrown out if microsoft or vmware wants you goneSep 20 08:20
oiaohmMinceR: That is true under the old Code of Conflict.  Go read the simple beast.Sep 20 08:21
MinceRstill true under the new oneSep 20 08:21
oiaohmMinceR: If however, anyone feels personally abused, threatened, or otherwise uncomfortable due to this process, that is not acceptable. << This is Code of ConflictSep 20 08:22
oiaohmThis is way more vague than the new Code of Conduct.Sep 20 08:22
oiaohmAnd way more abuseable.Sep 20 08:22
oiaohmYes new Code of Conduct is most likely not 100 percent right but its hell of a improvement on the old Code of Conflict.Sep 20 08:23
MinceRno it is notSep 20 08:23
MinceRit does the same things, but in a more bureaucrat- and lawyer-friendly way, and by copying a text written by a well known crybully politicianSep 20 08:23
MinceRwho attacks free software projects for funSep 20 08:24
oiaohmMinceR: have you read both.Sep 20 08:25
MinceRyes, i haveSep 20 08:26
oiaohmRepresentation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.  <<I guess you missed this line in the new one.Sep 20 08:30
oiaohmMinceR: past one its purely Linux foundation tab that sets the rules.Sep 20 08:31
MinceRand in the new one it's the LF TAB that applies themSep 20 08:32
MinceRoops, LDF TABSep 20 08:32
oiaohmMinceR: there is a clause on the TAB in the new one.    "appropriate to the circumstances"<< so circumstances include maintainers rules.Sep 20 08:34
oiaohmMinceR: prior one Linux Foundation TAB could write the rules how ever they liked.Sep 20 08:35
MinceRthey can still apply them however they likeSep 20 08:36
oiaohmNot using the Code of Conduct.Sep 20 08:36
MinceRthey're responsible to the LDF and no one elseSep 20 08:36
MinceRthey can claim something violates some random rule they point toSep 20 08:37
oiaohmPast one Linux Foundation TAB did not have to point to a rule instead they could just make one up.Sep 20 08:38
oiaohmMinceR: I will give you it is not much of a improvemnet.Sep 20 08:39
oiaohmBut its an area that has needing some serous work.  Sep 20 08:39
MinceRyeah, just not in this directionSep 20 08:40
oiaohmSo you would agree that the past Code of Conflict is also badly broken.Sep 20 08:41
MinceRi doSep 20 08:41
oiaohmI hope the Code of Conduct starts a proper debate and something proper in the end comes out.   Sep 20 08:42
oiaohmCode of Conduct has a few minor improvements but there are still a lot of changes require before its a good project code of conduct.Sep 20 08:43
MinceRit also has at least two major issues compared to the Code of ConflictSep 20 08:44
MinceRone is being a copy of something published by a crybully, the other is that the language on focusing on making the code good was removedSep 20 08:44
MinceR(obviously the latter does not matter to crybullies)Sep 20 08:44
oiaohmMinceR: I would agree https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct  << the postgresql would have been a way better starting point.Sep 20 08:45
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-wiki.postgresql.org | Code of Conduct - PostgreSQL wikiSep 20 08:45
MinceRway too longSep 20 08:47
MinceRfocus should be on code, not on politicsSep 20 08:47
MinceRoh, yeah, that's the third thing in which the new CoC is worse than the old oneSep 20 08:47
MinceR(also not on legal code :> )Sep 20 08:49
oiaohmHaving a community that works always has some politics.Sep 20 08:50
MinceRa community that works doesn't need pages of legal code for this purposeSep 20 08:51
oiaohmBut you do need some rules Sep 20 08:53
oiaohmOf course I do agree they should be kept as short as possible in plain language.Sep 20 08:53
MinceRno, i do notSep 20 08:54
oiaohmPlease note none these are what get called legal code.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_English   Legalese/legal english common get called legal code.Sep 20 08:55

schestowitz[08:16] <oiaohm> schestowitz: normally old laptop screen issues the simplest is plug in external monitor more often than not its the cable though the hinge getting too cracked and at 10 years old getting a replacement one can be very uphill.Sep 20 08:55
schestowitzmakes sense, it has gotten less severe in recent minutesSep 20 08:55
MinceRit will be used like legal code, just watch and you'll seeSep 20 08:55
schestowitzand yes, it seems to have an effect when I plug in the externalSep 20 08:55
oiaohmschestowitz: so by that dieing on board video card.Sep 20 08:56
oiaohmschestowitz: yes there is absolutely no point getting a new screen cable if the external port does not well because its normally worse hardware problems.Sep 20 08:57
oiaohmMinceR: used like legal code I would agree that is on the cards.   But its not pure nasty legal code where you need a legal PHD to understand what it means.Sep 20 08:58
MinceRdon't really need one, as long as the LDF calls all the shotsSep 20 08:58
MinceRgranted, it would make it even more impenetrable and bureaucraticSep 20 08:58
MinceRso it would make sense for them to get some of their lawyer army on the caseSep 20 08:59
oiaohmMinceR: problem you are not allowing on what says the Linux foundation TAB is not using their own internal written Code of Conduct to process the past problems.Sep 20 09:02
oiaohmIf there are rules being applied to conduct I prefer them to be openly published.Sep 20 09:02
MinceRi think the LDF shouldn't even existSep 20 09:04
MinceRincluding the TABSep 20 09:04
schestowitzoiaohm: ok, thanksSep 20 09:06
oiaohmschestowitz: I guess its time for a new laptop.Sep 20 09:09
oiaohmschestowitz: or a newer laptop.Sep 20 09:10
schestowitz:-(Sep 20 09:11
schestowitzhow long might this screen last?Sep 20 09:11
schestowitzit's still usableSep 20 09:11
schestowitzthe blinking is just brightness wise, doesn't switch offSep 20 09:11
oiaohmschestowitz: cannot tell you.  How long a fault like will last.  If it happen on external monitor its the onboard card logic dieing.  These die at different rates.\Sep 20 09:13
schestowitzThis isn't on externalSep 20 09:14
schestowitzonly the laptop's own screenSep 20 09:14
oiaohmschestowitz: that would most likely be the backlight.Sep 20 09:14
schestowitzyeahSep 20 09:14
schestowitzseems soSep 20 09:14
schestowitzany fix?Sep 20 09:14
schestowitzlike lowing backlight level?Sep 20 09:14
oiaohmschestowitz: in old units they are basically a florescent tube.Sep 20 09:14
oiaohmDie exactly the same way.Sep 20 09:15
oiaohmFirst flickering then not working at all.Sep 20 09:15
oiaohmOnly real fix is replacement part.Sep 20 09:15
oiaohm10 year old laptop getting part is going to be hard.Sep 20 09:15
schestowitzyes, I knowSep 20 09:16
schestowitzand expensiveSep 20 09:16
oiaohmAnd labour cost is also going to be a problem.Sep 20 09:16

oiaohmRarely you take apart a laptop and get it 100 percent back how it was as well.Sep 20 09:16
schestowitzcheers, oiaohmSep 20 09:18
oiaohmschestowitz: some of these lowering backlight levels speeds up death as wellSep 20 09:18
schestowitzuseful tipsSep 20 09:18
oiaohmschestowitz: ie more turning on and off not good.Sep 20 09:19
schestowitzand no way to delay the death?Sep 20 09:19
schestowitzLike lowering brightness?Sep 20 09:19
oiaohmschestowitz: depends on what is inside.Sep 20 09:19
schestowitzhere's the thingSep 20 09:19
oiaohmschestowitz: some you need to increase brightness to extend life some you decrease brightness and some are going to die in the same amount of time no matter what you do.Sep 20 09:19
schestowitzassuming it might, at some stage, die... I can still use the laptop with externalSep 20 09:20
schestowitzmight be tricky in some regardsSep 20 09:20
oiaohmIts not might at some stage die once they start doing that they will die at some point.Sep 20 09:20
oiaohmThe backlight will die to be correct.Sep 20 09:20
oiaohmOne I did get lucky that a mirror fittered behind LCD did work.Sep 20 09:21
oiaohmIe took out the stopped backlight and cut a plastic mirror to size.Sep 20 09:21
schestowitzI fixed a screen on my compaq laptop 18 years agoSep 20 09:21
oiaohmOf course it need a well light room after that.Sep 20 09:21
schestowitzbut back then I need to replace only wiringSep 20 09:22
oiaohmWiring is number 1 failure.Sep 20 09:22
schestowitzin this case I need to salvage the data when the screen dies for goodSep 20 09:22
oiaohmBacklight is number 2 problem.Sep 20 09:22
schestowitzI reckon it can still start with the external one to see what I am doingSep 20 09:22
oiaohmNumber 3 is controller on motherboard.Sep 20 09:22
oiaohmNumber 4 is the LCD it self.Sep 20 09:22
oiaohmThat is about the order of how common the failures are with laptop screens.Sep 20 09:23
oiaohmschestowitz: turn the backlight off completely and get a bright torch.  Some are read able in that condition.Sep 20 09:23
schestowitzyeah, 10 years seems decentSep 20 09:24
schestowitzhow much do you reckon it has left? days? weeks? months?Sep 20 09:24
oiaohmschestowitz: can not give.  Its like the flicking flooresent tube .  It could be hours, days or a year or 2.Sep 20 09:25
schestowitzI'll see how fast it gets worseSep 20 09:25
schestowitzand not let it switch off too muchSep 20 09:25
<--pidgin_log has quit (Quit: Leaving.)Sep 20 09:26
oiaohmAlso this is like a cliff falure as wel.Sep 20 09:26
oiaohmSo can appear not to be getting any worse then magically instant stop.Sep 20 09:26
oiaohmschestowitz: basically there is no way to work out how much time is left.  And no way to attempt to guess how much is left.Sep 20 09:27
oiaohmschestowitz: all you can say its still working in 3 years you should have tested your luck on something else.Sep 20 09:27
oiaohmschestowitz: so its somewhere between the next second and 3 years time.Sep 20 09:28
schestowitzok, goodSep 20 09:29
schestowitzfingers crossed thenSep 20 09:29
schestowitzit's still a workable screen, the flickering is meagerSep 20 09:29
schestowitzMinceR: we lost the connection a couple of times overnightSep 20 09:30
schestowitzlocal work, ISP issueSep 20 09:30
oiaohmschestowitz: there is another problem.  UV output of screen can increase.Sep 20 09:30
schestowitzdid we miss anything in this channel (you can see when I was offline)?Sep 20 09:30
oiaohmschestowitz: as the backlight fails.Sep 20 09:30
schestowitz(need to know for the logging)Sep 20 09:30
oiaohmschestowitz: you do wear glasses when using the computer with UV protection ?Sep 20 09:30
schestowitzI'd worry more about 3 laptops with wi-fi always on around meSep 20 09:30
schestowitznoSep 20 09:31
oiaohmThat UV problem is no problem to me because I wear glasses.Sep 20 09:31
oiaohmand all my glasses are UV400 coated.Sep 20 09:31
schestowitzI never thought of UV aspects since the CRT days were overSep 20 09:32
schestowitzand even then it wasn' t UV AFAIKSep 20 09:32
oiaohmflorescent backlights and tubes working normally have very low UV levels lot lower than CRT so not a threat.   When they are dieing its a different problem.Sep 20 09:33
schestowitzchanging tubes would be impractical on laptopsSep 20 09:34
schestowitzand hard with such proprietary hardwareSep 20 09:34
schestowitzcheaper to buy a new one :(Sep 20 09:34
oiaohmschestowitz: when I say not threat the levels are that low they are not detectable.Sep 20 09:36
oiaohmschestowitz: UV output comes when the backlight is breaking down/failing.Sep 20 09:36

DaemonFC[m]Red Hat stock was down yesterday. They missed revenue estimates and gave weak guidance for the next quarter. I wonder what's going on.Sep 20 19:15
DaemonFC[m]I can't imagine that Ubuntu is costing them too many customers.Sep 20 19:15
DaemonFC[m]They blame a weakening dollar. When the dollar is down, it makes products denominated in it more affordable internationally and should increase sales. But I suppose that since RHEL is subscription revenue,  that's taking value away from those existing subscriptions,  which they still have to honor. So.....maybe that is part of the problem.Sep 20 19:19

DaemonFC[m]And there is another problem,  because if you raise prices to get your real income back where it should be, it pisses your clients off.Sep 20 19:20
DaemonFC[m]Whatever the case, I think that the value of RHT is down too much and that this is probably a good buying opportunity.Sep 20 19:21
DaemonFC[m]People tend to oversell on bad news, and this isn't terrific news, but it also doesn't justify a 10% drop.Sep 20 19:22
oiaohmDaemonFC[m]: redhat has operations around the world.    And those wages are not paid in USD.Sep 20 19:25
oiaohmDaemonFC[m]: so Redhat profits go down when USD drops because relative costs go up.Sep 20 19:26

DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Supposedly, there's a grocery price war going on.Sep 22 09:08
DaemonFC[m]It's strange how I haven't noticed this. It seems the only way they ever go is up.Sep 22 09:08
DaemonFC[m]I used to work in the frozen food section at Walmart 14 years ago.Sep 22 09:09
DaemonFC[m]While I was there, a Banquet chicken pot pie cost 50 cents. Sep 22 09:09
DaemonFC[m]I looked and today the same thing sells for 96 cents. Sep 22 09:09
DaemonFC[m]That's an alarming amount of food price inflation. It means that the price of food has, perhaps, doubled in the last 15 years. Sep 22 09:10
DaemonFC[m]Now, how can that be? The government tells us inflation has been running at 2 or 2.5% all these years, and even at 3%, prices take 30 years to double.Sep 22 09:11
DaemonFC[m]To get around this and release their fake numbers, the Federal Reserve releases "headline inflation". This excludes food and energy because the price is "volatile", and so they like to point to "core inflation", which excludes both.Sep 22 09:12
DaemonFC[m]Even though the average household spends a third of its money on food and half its money between food and energy.Sep 22 09:13
DaemonFC[m]Energy being everything from gasoline, to natural gas, to electricity.Sep 22 09:13
DaemonFC[m]What's going on with food isn't _quite_ hyperinflation, but it is far worse than the government is letting on.Sep 22 09:14
