[00:32] schestowitz[TR] ooh, I likle this new CSS [00:32] DaemonFC This is actually a huge improvement when it works. [00:32] schestowitz[TR] some advanced css generations can make you a nice site without a single image [00:32] DaemonFC Maybe I can toss Firefox to the side for some shitty banks and other horribleness. [00:32] DaemonFC Just use Lynx most of the time. [00:32] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: it's good when you value informatioln [00:32] DaemonFC Lynx has tabs because my GNOME Terminal has tabs. [00:32] DaemonFC :) [00:32] schestowitz[TR] not some boobs and dicks in sidebars [00:33] schestowitz[TR] which distract from news [00:33] schestowitz[TR] lagrange with newswaffle is OK [00:33] DaemonFC Since it doesn't support JavaScript and most things I sign into are broken, I can have Lynx ignore cookies. [00:33] schestowitz[TR] you can also configure it to show images as you scroll down [00:33] DaemonFC Keep Firefox around for some unpleasantness. [00:33] schestowitz[TR] there's an option for that [00:33] DaemonFC You know, they could extend Lynx to handle Gemini too. [00:33] DaemonFC It is a Gopher browser already. [00:34] schestowitz[TR] newewaffle still needs to retreive and scam/process wab pages [00:34] schestowitz[TR] so it is not fast [00:34] schestowitz[TR] betteer to use nature capsules [00:34] schestowitz[TR] techrights is gemini-native [00:34] schestowitz[TR] tuxmachines will be too [00:34] schestowitz[TR] I'm working on it [00:34] schestowitz[TR] tuxmmachines will have https [00:34] schestowitz[TR] not decided yet if self-signed [00:34] schestowitz[TR] tor has a new release [00:34] DaemonFC "I am not fast." -BayMax (Big Hero 6) [00:35] schestowitz[TR] with SSL-ONLY (HTTPS) on BY DEFAULT [00:35] SomeH4x0r it should be self-signed [00:35] SomeH4x0r don't worsen thing [00:35] SomeH4x0r *things [00:35] DaemonFC "We jumped out a windowwwwwwwww!!!!!"

[00:35] schestowitz[TR] SomeH4x0r: right [00:35] schestowitz[TR] while the browser still let you cop out [00:36] schestowitz[TR] something like Tor is compeomised [00:36] schestowitz[TR] Tor pushing Microsoft [00:36] schestowitz[TR] aka DDG [00:36] SomeH4x0r they will push HSTS eventually [00:36] SomeH4x0r for everything [00:36] schestowitz[TR] after DDG (Microsoft) bribed Tor projects [00:36] DaemonFC "Fucking Magnets, How Do They Work?" -ICP [00:36] schestowitz[TR] sdo I regard Tor as a joke [00:36] schestowitz[TR] at this point [00:36] DaemonFC Sorry, had to.

[00:37] schestowitz[TR] the web has been around too long anyway [00:37] schestowitz[TR] since cvs days [00:37] schestowitz[TR] we need something newer and better [00:37] DaemonFC GNOME has obviously been around too long.

[01:20] schestowitz gemini://midnight.pub/posts/1077 [01:20] schestowitz published hours ago. [01:21] schestowitz " [01:21] schestowitz Reddit, I'm convinced, is one of the worst websites ever created, and for the past three years of pure Hell it has been used by these people in order to blackmail me, harass me, rile up mobs against me, and threaten my life and family. Reddit does not only allow this harassment to continue, they endorse it, banning anyone who goes against the narrative these bad actors wish to present. It is a farce, a kangaroo court, a crime against everything the [01:21] schestowitz Internet should represent. [01:21] schestowitz Reddit is doing this, I'm sure, to save face, as they are currently one of the most disliked websites of all time. They are known for having hosted vile and reprehensible material on their website throughout much of the early 2010s- potentially illegal material, even- all under the guise of "free speech," and now in the later 2010s and early 2020s have done a complete 180 to save face and now ban and censor the least offensive content imaginable [01:21] schestowitz without a second thought or any form of justification. I arrived on the site at an interesting period in its history- during the transitional phase, when it went from a no-holds-barred anarchist chaos arena to an authoritarian police state. As such, I was able to witness, firsthand, in a microcosm, the transformation of the Internet. [01:21] schestowitz I predicted, in 2019, that the public's opinion toward the site would soon shift and Reddit would be viewed for what it has become- an outright circus. At the time, the general public's opinion was mostly positive. However, as the years went on, my prediction came to fruition. Reddit became embroiled in multiple scandals which would put the follies of Facebook to shame- for instance, the debacle during which they knowingly hired a sex offender and [01:21] schestowitz then banned anyone who dared post about it. They are now one of the most censorship-heavy websites on the Internet, deleting a huge fraction of all content submitted. Programmers have wasted hours trying to create facsimiles of the website without censorship, such as "Removeddit," all to no avail. [01:21] schestowitz The case of Reddit is a good example of just how quickly negativity can spread. What exists on Reddit today is a false sort of toxic positivity to counteract the outright negativity which persists in groups such as the one which has targeted me. Reddit has become nothing more than 90% pictures of adorable cats with no substance and 10% hate groups which masquerade as righteous causes while spewing ableist and racist rhetoric. The people who attack [01:21] schestowitz me do so with no checks, no balances, no restraint, and they are, for no reason whatsoever, hellbent on seeing my failure, to a compulsive, even sociopathic, degree.

[05:18] DaemonFC There's a lot of "THOSE" types floating around this place. [05:19] DaemonFC You can sell people anything if you make the price high. As odd as it sounds, the more they got ripped off for it, the happier they say they are. [05:19] DaemonFC The cars that have the worst reliability ratings are the most expensive, and most of the people who bought one say they're very happy with it and will get another one someday.

[05:20] DaemonFC People associate high prices with quality, whether it's true or not. [05:21] DaemonFC If you lower the price, you run the danger of no longer being "perceived" to be a luxury item and watching your customers storm out.

Especially ones you couldn't easily get in the US because they weren't released here. [06:42] DaemonFC When we went to the Inconjunction Science Fiction Convention in Indianapolis each year, it wasn't uncommon to see movies for sale that the guy had ran off copies off with his home VCR. Things like that. [06:43] DaemonFC There was a guy named Steve Jackson who had a small video game company that kept opening up a booth there. His company made board games too. [06:43] DaemonFC He made a decent living off of it, I think. I enjoyed the games he had ported to DOS and the Commodore. [06:44] DaemonFC I had both systems at one point. [06:45] DaemonFC The Commodore should have continued, I think. It was clearly the best home computer of the 1980s in the US market at least. In that it was actually quite useful and capable for the price point that it sold for. [06:45] DaemonFC I never had an Amiga though. Just the C64. [06:45] DaemonFC The C64 was getting pretty old by the time dad gave it to me and got himself a PC. [06:46] DaemonFC The interesting thing about the Commodore was how much the programmers managed to do with it for as limited as the hardware was. [06:46] DaemonFC The system didn't really claim a lot of resources for itself. Didn't get in the way of the program you were running. [06:47] DaemonFC What we really need is a renascence of efficient operating system software. By modern standards, I was managing to do this with GNU/Linux up to about 8 years ago. [06:48] DaemonFC Long after anyone would have given up on that 2004 budget Compaq I was still using GNU/Linux on it. A distribution that not only lived in 1 GB of RAM but did so comfortably. [06:49] DaemonFC With a single core processor, barely over 1 Ghz. Not even a good one in 2004. [06:49] DaemonFC The reason it managed so well was the OS got the hell out of the way so there was actually something left to run programs with. [06:50] DaemonFC When I bought this computer, I was running into low memory situations on Windows 10 just running Firefox. [06:51] DaemonFC I mean, it's horrible. I don't know how people don't see it. If you don't care about anything else, why not care that it's a real pig. [06:51] DaemonFC How do you guzzle 16 GB of RAM running a stupid Web browser and doing not much else? [06:57] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], I was talking to mom about in 1963, my great-grandmother still didn't have an electric refrigerator. [06:58] DaemonFC She sent my mom to the store across the street to pay the man at the store 10 cents for a block of ice and put it in an an icebox.

Only like 21 years. [06:59] DaemonFC And getting an electric refrigerator meant you were moving up in the world, apparently, even then. ● Jul 16 [07:01] DaemonFC She said my grandparents bought new Mercury in the 1950s. It didn't come standard with air conditioning or a heater. If you wanted either one, you had to pay extra and have someone install it for you. A Mercury has always been a pretty nice brand of car, at least until Ford stopped making them. [07:01] britney DaemonFC, openbsd is pretty efficient, the installer is 600MB and you can run it on really old hardware [07:01] britney fvwm is also quite lightweight [07:01] DaemonFC I was looking at the sales pitch for a new Chevy. The funny part is the dealer Web site that praises the CVT transmissions. [07:02] DaemonFC Which are the ones that fail every 35,000 miles or so and cost more than the whole damned car is worth to replace once the warranty ends. [07:03] DaemonFC You basically have to buy a factory extended warranty on one of these things if you go that route, because otherwise it's going to start eating transmissions while you're still making payments. [07:03] DaemonFC I don't know how GM is going to make it much longer unless we're forced to bail them out again. [07:04] schestowitz[TR] oh [07:04] schestowitz[TR] link? [07:04] DaemonFC To what?

[07:06] DaemonFC The Federal Reserve is getting ready to do a 100 basis point hike this month. The largest they've ever done at once. [07:06] DaemonFC They're just going to keep hiking until GM fails. [07:07] DaemonFC Ford has a lot of debt, but they're in a better place with profit margins and satisfied customers and so on. [07:07] DaemonFC They took on debt to grow the business, you know. They even expanded in Illinois.

I can tell you that at least with the 90s and 2000s models, the Fords tend to have fewer serious problems as they age. But GM can make decent stuff if they feel like it. [07:09] DaemonFC The problem tends to happen when they make downmarket versions of their powertrains to hit a price point. [07:09] DaemonFC My aunt was buying a new Chevy every 2 years, and then bragging about it. [07:10] DaemonFC She wasn't trading them in because she wanted to. She was buying the cheapest model that didn't have any options. [07:10] DaemonFC Then when the transmission wasn't shifting right or it would rain and flood the car and the dealer couldn't fix it right, they'd trade it right back in.

[07:13] DaemonFC GM isn't a good investment right now. They're not in a good place. I've been to the Chevy dealer and they can't get any inventory. [07:13] DaemonFC The Buick dealer is well stocked though. [07:14] DaemonFC I see that going on a lot. Chevy lot, 10% full, Buick lot, packed. [07:14] DaemonFC They're prioritizing Buick. I would. They sell for more money. [07:15] DaemonFC If I was them I'd probably just give up on Chevy and close down the brand and just do Buick, GMC, and Cadillac. [07:17] DaemonFC These supply chain issues aren't going to resolve with the computer chips and stuff for a while. [07:18] DaemonFC With Cadillac and Buick going all electric, they're not going to need compliance cars they don't want to build to get their CAFE fines down. [07:18] DaemonFC Dad's brother-in-law retired from GM last year with a pretty big pension. [07:19] DaemonFC The federal government will take it over and pay it if GM goes under.

So there's this Russian dissident Maxim Katz, and he caught a lot of bad press in the Ukraine blog-o-sphere for saying that the Russian World could've been a good thing if it were based on economical influence, like a regional centre of influence, but in a good way.

[18:16] XRevan86 It's like seeing the connection between Russia becoming the centre of the region by making everyone rich and Russia trying to be the centre of the region by making war. [18:16] matey i think germany has too much european influence, which the eu reinforces or creates [18:16] matey It's like seeing the connection between Russia becoming the centre of the region by making everyone rich and Russia trying to be the centre of the region by making war. <- this assumes we understand each other, and im not sure we do (on this) [18:17] XRevan86 Basically, there's a nuance.
