| danielp3344 | <DaemonFC[m] "Everything GM since around 1995 "> sounds reasonable :P | Feb 10 19:14 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Daniel Peterson: They made some big improvements to the Corsica before ending it in 1996. | Feb 10 19:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The 1995 brought in a nicer engine and a more reliable automatic transmission and the 1996 brought full OBD II compliance. | Feb 10 19:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But they also filled the 1995/96 with DeathCool at the factory. | Feb 10 19:16 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Apparently, most of the irregularities in the Iowa caucus came down to a shitty iPad app that didn't work that the Democratic Party probably paid millions for.

| DaemonFC[m] | I plan to answer the Census in Illinois and then dodge them for the rest of my life as long as I live in Indiana. | Feb 10 19:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A census undercount theoretically means less representation for a state, so they tend to do everything they can to make sure it doesn't happen. | Feb 10 19:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they give the Census Bureau all of the information they have to hunt you down with to pester you. | Feb 10 19:35 |
| MinceR | it is an important update ...for microshit, that is. | Feb 10 19:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I'm using Vivaldi now. | Feb 10 19:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I noticed an odd thing about some code on Bing. | Feb 10 19:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Vivaldi still tells search engines and a "few other sites that can be trusted" what it really is (the Vivaldi bit on the UA string). | Feb 10 19:37 |
| XRevan86 | Still using Vivaldi? A fellow Blinker, that's fine, keep it up. | Feb 10 19:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But it tells other sites (including many of Google's) that it is Chrome, so that they don't send it broken website that doesn't work properly. | Feb 10 19:38 |
| MinceR | hi using Vivaldi now, i'm dad | Feb 10 19:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If Bing sees "Vivaldi" in your UA, it disables the anti-adblock code and lets your ad blocker function correctly. | Feb 10 19:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So if you want to use Bing with no ads on Firefox, you can set the UA to Vivaldi. | Feb 10 19:39 |
| MinceR | or i could just not use bìng | Feb 10 19:39 |
| MinceR | or i could use it through ddg or searx | Feb 10 19:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That said, I Bing searched "Bing Vivaldi" just for kicks, and the top results were things like "How do I delete Bing from Vivaldi?" and "Why does Bing keep coming back after I delete it from Vivaldi.". I'm shocked..... :P | Feb 10 19:40 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I caught my husband playing one of those stupid Freemium games a couple months ago and we had a huge argument. He wasn't paying attantion and managed to spend over $67 in a single month. | Feb 10 19:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was like "If you have to pay to win, then why is the game fun? You can dump more money in and then you win? How is that fun?". | Feb 10 19:43 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Usually, when I go to a movie instead of just waiting for the torrent, I feel like I got cheated. Even if it was $5 Tuesday. | Feb 10 19:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Everything is so derivative and designed to push buttons to get the desired response from test audiences in A/B tests, that there is hardly anything groundbreaking anymore. | Feb 10 19:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They brought JJ Abrams in for the new Star Wars movie, and there was no planning done. It's almost like they threw story elements out there and then ran an A/B test on the audience to see what played well and then that's how the next chunk of the movie went, which is exactly where Palpy came in. They resurrected him off screen with no explanation at all and somehow he gets a fleet of 100,000 Star Destroyers and nobod | Feb 10 19:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | How do you account for that? Doesn't it take millions of people to operate those? And why is each one a Planet Killer when it was previously established that it took enough generators to fit on a space station the size of a moon to host a Planet Killer weapon? Or Starkiller Base. Also, there's surface life on the moon of Endor despite the Second Death Star crashing into it with over 30 times as much mass as the aster | Feb 10 19:50 |

| DaemonFC[m] | It feels like Disney is putting much more effort into The Mandalorian than it is on the movies. | Feb 10 19:51 |
| MinceR | they could use droids instead of people | Feb 10 19:51 |
| MinceR | there was also some sort of starship modification which drastically reduces the need for staff | Feb 10 19:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But they were crewed by humans. | Feb 10 19:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's shown on screen. | Feb 10 19:51 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Apparently, Reddit uses anti-adblock, Google tracking, their own fingerprinting setup, and Amazon's ad system. | Feb 10 21:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Google's original plan to deprecate webrequest with declarativenetrequest would have only let 30,000 filter rules be in an ad blocker, which would have essentially forced ad blocking lists to be pared down to only trying to deal with the worst offenders and abandon most of their anti-tracking, anti-adblock rules, and "nuisance" filters. The new Manifest v3 sets the limit at 150,000 rules. Currently, ublock-origin has | Feb 10 21:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | so loaded on my browser. | Feb 10 21:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Vivaldi threatened to back out the limit entirely or keep the current webrequest API and then set up its own extension store for blockers and privacy extensions. | Feb 10 21:24 |

| DaemonFC[m] | <danielp3344 "DaemonFC: gas prices are down th"> Depends. They're volatile. They got under $2 under Obama for over a year. | Feb 10 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And since Trump is killing the Ethanol mandate, don't expect it to last. | Feb 10 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Gas companies only blend it because they have to. | Feb 10 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If the EPA is issuing waivers to all of then, they stop and Saudi oil replaces 15% of the fuel volume. | Feb 10 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, gas is about 30 cents lower than the ten year average. | Feb 10 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That will come as a great relief to diabetics who have to spend $500 that month on insulin | Feb 10 22:35 |

| XRevan86 | > That it's very important that a third mandatory browser that you download something else with gets installed immediately | Feb 10 22:47 |
| XRevan86 | Now I'm even more lost. | Feb 10 22:48 |
| MinceR | it's important to microsuck | Feb 10 22:48 |
| MinceR | since if they manage to get it installed for unsuspecting hostages of Backdoors10, they get to claim "users", "market share" and similar bullshit | Feb 10 22:48 |
| XRevan86 | What I mean is that it's supposed to come with Windows, but it still doesn't. | Feb 10 22:49 |
| XRevan86 | Doesn't it make more sense to push it through Windows Update first and then PR it later? | Feb 10 22:49 |
| MinceR | does what makes sense ever matter to the robber barons of redmond? | Feb 10 22:50 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: I knew you'd say that %). | Feb 10 22:50 |
| XRevan86 | It's just so weird, I'm starting to wonder if they're even planning to push it through Windows Update ever at all. | Feb 10 22:51 |
| XRevan86 | But that doesn't make sense for them either. | Feb 10 22:52 |
| MinceR | maybe they'll go "ah, it's so great people will install it for themselves this time! and we'll get to gloat about it!" | Feb 10 22:52 |
| MinceR | s/'ll go/'ve gone/ | Feb 10 22:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Windows is a dumping ground of every shitty idea they've had at Microsoft for the last 35 years. | Feb 10 22:53 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: oh :) | Feb 10 22:53 |
| MinceR | and once they see that it isn't and they aren't, they'll start pushing it down their throats | Feb 10 22:53 |
| MinceR | as they and RH usually do | Feb 10 22:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Windows 2000 was a passable OS, but it's gotten so much worse since then. | Feb 10 22:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Every time they release something it's an even bigger regression. | Feb 10 22:54 |
| MinceR | by some people's concept of "passable" | Feb 10 22:54 |
| MinceR | it was already a pretty good demonstration of how not to design a kernel, or how not to do dynamic linking | Feb 10 22:54 |
| MinceR | or how not to design a windowing system | Feb 10 22:54 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Windows 10 is very unique in that. | Feb 10 22:54 |
| XRevan86 | It's an incredible leap forward in being absolute and utter shit | Feb 10 22:55 |
| MinceR | it's their declaration that it's finally acceptable for them to explicitly deploy malware on the PCs of their hostages | Feb 10 22:56 |
| XRevan86 | One way to look at it is Windows 7 being the last Win32-only OS of theirs. | Feb 10 22:56 |
| MinceR | no more need to keep it secret or to deny it | Feb 10 22:56 |
| XRevan86 | Everything after is trying to do something very different. | Feb 10 22:57 |
| XRevan86 | Telemetry, an application store, an API oriented at store distribution, etc. | Feb 10 22:58 |
| MinceR | in other words, emulating hypeOS? :> | Feb 10 22:59 |
| XRevan86 | UWP doesn't look like it's catching on, just like all its predecessors, but it illustrates what Microsoft wants out of Windows. | Feb 10 23:00 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: yes | Feb 10 23:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | UWP has been a disaster. | Feb 10 23:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It made Windows more bloated and clumsy than ever. | Feb 10 23:05 |
| psydread | has anyone ever written any UWP application? | Feb 10 23:05 |
| XRevan86 | But that's also the general pattern: every change in Windows 10 is literally bloat. | Feb 10 23:06 |
| XRevan86 | psydread: UWPX | Feb 10 23:06 |
| XRevan86 | That's the only one I've heard about | Feb 10 23:06 |

| MinceR | ah yes, winblows phone | Feb 10 23:07 |
| psydread | my colleagues had one | Feb 10 23:08 |
| MinceR | when microsloth decided that winblows mobile was too good and too far ahead hypeOS and they instead needed to make a hypeOS clone to succeed in the market | Feb 10 23:08 |

| MinceR | i don't think so | Feb 10 23:42 |
| MinceR | the last time i checked, it was incredibly unstable | Feb 10 23:42 |
| MinceR | the one guy i know who's involved with it says it's incredibly unstable | Feb 10 23:42 |
| MinceR | and it's a reimplementation of an atrocious design | Feb 10 23:42 |
| psydread | I am talking to one guy who wrote NTVDM for it, but he mostly runs Linux on his machines | Feb 10 23:43 |
| psydread | that's what I was thinking | Feb 10 23:43 |
| MinceR | probably the same guy | Feb 10 23:43 |
| psydread | but I don't know much about VMS or NT at all | Feb 10 23:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | ReactOS would be great if it ever worked on anything not a VM. | Feb 10 23:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Wine on Linux runs more stuff. | Feb 10 23:45 |
| MinceR | it would be nice if we could run Backdoors applications on ReactOS, but it's hard to keep ReactOS running for long enough for this to be meaningful | Feb 10 23:45 |
| psydread | I think I saw it working on the bare hardware at FOSDEM a few years ago | Feb 10 23:46 |
| XRevan86 | psydread: You honestly have a lot more luck with Wine. | Feb 10 23:46 |
| XRevan86 | psydread: Yes, they managed to get it working on some hardware recently. | Feb 10 23:46 |
| XRevan86 | You still have more luck with Hackintosh %) | Feb 10 23:46 |
| MinceR | at least no interesting apps seem to be held hostage to macos | Feb 10 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, ReactOS is trying to clone Windows and do it right, except you can't do Windows right. | Feb 10 23:47 |
| psydread | XRevan86, I have this "Metatrader 5" application I was trying to get working on Wine for a friend, but its rating is garbage in the WineHQ DB | Feb 10 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Granted if they ever got it working at all, they wouldn't stuff it with telemetry and advertising. | Feb 10 23:47 |
| XRevan86 | ReactOS is also completely pointless, because it's support for Windows drivers (the main killer feature compared to Wine) is almost nonexistent. | Feb 10 23:48 |
| psydread | I remember oiaohm and me writing in a thread on the ReactOS forum more than a decade ago | Feb 10 23:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Windows 10 is a turducken of rotting dlls and driver frameworks with spyware and advertising. | Feb 10 23:48 |

| psydread | I don't think we got much of an answer at all or not really a useful one :) | Feb 10 23:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Vivaldi is weird. They default to Bing but their blogs suggest replacing Windows with Linux because it works better and it's more likely to stay working on the same computer as both the hardware and OS age. | Feb 10 23:50 |
| MinceR | it's easy to duplicate any version of "Windows Server" | Feb 10 23:50 |
| MinceR | you take this >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Goldair_GCH200_ceramic_heater.jpg | Feb 10 23:50 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Microsoft officially says don't expect Windows 10 "upgrades" to support you after your computer is 3 years old. Same as a Mac. | Feb 10 23:51 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: I'm pretty sure they didn't pick Bing altruistically. | Feb 10 23:51 |
| psydread | I ripped out the whole infrastructure for a friend 15 years ago and made it into a Linux server running Samba and Linux desktops and Windows Server on top of VMware Server only for terminal services | Feb 10 23:53 |
| psydread | everything actually worked after that | Feb 10 23:53 |
| psydread | because his Windows machines were attacked all the time | Feb 10 23:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No, most of their users complain about how shitty the Bing search results are. | Feb 10 23:55 |

| MinceR | right, it's a "decision engine" :> | Feb 10 23:56 |
| XRevan86 | There was an interview, I think with Jedi-to-be, boy that was cute. | Feb 10 23:56 |
| psydread | of course everything works out of the box with Linux | Feb 10 23:56 |
| MinceR | or what bullshit they named it most recently after they got tired of just renaming the whole thing | Feb 10 23:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I tried using Bing. That was over in about 10 seconds. | Feb 10 23:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's junk. | Feb 10 23:56 |
| MinceR | google seems to be working on giving bìng a chance | Feb 10 23:57 |
| MinceR | google keeps getting worse and worse | Feb 10 23:57 |
| psydread | their marketshare is 2% now? | Feb 10 23:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's why they take over your browser with malware to force Bing. | Feb 10 23:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | psydread: Mostly people using Windows who don't know how to change it, I'd imagine. | Feb 10 23:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nobody would choose something that shitty and useless if they knew how to get rid of it. | Feb 10 23:58 |
| psydread | I really wonder how a company like Microsoft with so many smart but sociopathic people can be so bad at creating products | Feb 10 23:58 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: You're forgetting the fear of the unknown. | Feb 10 23:59 |
| psydread | it's like a huge waste of human potential | Feb 10 23:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It says everything that they build Bing right into the Windows taskbar, taking up valuable real estate with a huge box that can't be changed to anything that isn't Bing. | Feb 10 23:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And they still only get 2% of searches. | Feb 10 23:59 |
