| IsambardPrince | Kiki is busy tearing into the cat tree. | Oct 19 00:00 |
| IsambardPrince | It seems to be keeping her away from the tv. | Oct 19 00:01 |
| MinceR | :3 | Oct 19 00:01 |
| IsambardPrince | She seems to be one of those cats that has a natural urge to climb. | Oct 19 00:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Bobbi Jo doesn't. Leeloo, and Jabba didn't. | Oct 19 00:02 |
| IsambardPrince | She's looking at me right now like "thank you thank you thank you" | Oct 19 00:02 |
| MinceR | tree dweller :> | Oct 19 00:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah this thing was only $53 on Amazon. | Oct 19 00:03 |
| IsambardPrince | It seemed like it was justified to keep her out of my TV stand while I'm watching movies. | Oct 19 00:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Now sne's dangling off of it and sleeping. | Oct 19 00:04 |

| IsambardPrince | Windows NT 4 on a Gamecube for some reason. | Oct 19 01:20 |
| MinceR | lol | Oct 19 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Someone did Windows CE on a Nintendo 64 a while back. | Oct 19 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Linux boots on a N64 but the N64 is way too resource constrained to be useful. | Oct 19 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | The Gamecube would probably not be very useful with Linux but it might have enough memory to start an X session with a basic window manager. | Oct 19 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Linux on game consoles has always been pretty dodgy. | Oct 19 01:23 |
| IsambardPrince | They're not meant to run a general purpose OS, they're meant to run games. | Oct 19 01:23 |
| IsambardPrince | They were selling the PS2 Linux kit at Walmart at one point. | Oct 19 01:24 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I'm watching a Youtube video about PS2 Linux. | Oct 19 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | It looks like Sony based it on a very stripped down Red Hat Linux 9. | Oct 19 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | For PS3 Linux in Other OS, they recommended Yellow Dog Linux, which was based on Fedora. | Oct 19 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm guessing you might be able to do a lot of work and eventually get Netsurf or something to work on a PS2. | Oct 19 01:47 |
| LordPhanes | i wonder why its always linux and not bsd for those consoles. seems like bsd would have better perf and compat for odd targets | Oct 19 01:50 |
| LordPhanes | prob just "more people looking at it" | Oct 19 01:51 |

| IsambardPrince | <LordPhanes> i wonder why its always linux and not bsd for those consoles. seems like bsd would have better perf and compat for odd targets | Oct 19 03:21 |
| IsambardPrince | <LordPhanes> prob just "more people looking at it" | Oct 19 03:21 |
| IsambardPrince | While the Linux distribution for PS2 looks pretty minimal, that was not a bad little setup for 2001. | Oct 19 03:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Had Sony revisioned it, it might have been a usable desktop computer for years. | Oct 19 03:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm sure you could have done so yourself to an extent. | Oct 19 03:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I remember someone here who claimed they kept backporting newer software to Fedora Core 1. | Oct 19 03:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Red Hat Linux 9 wasn't THAT much older. | Oct 19 03:23 |
| IsambardPrince | As long as you have a compiler and toolchain that are self-hosting, you should be able to upgrade components yourself. | Oct 19 03:23 |
| LordPhanes | nah i didn't figure out cross-compilers well enough to do that until like...maybe 2015? I'd used them before but well enough to bootstrap a sysroot was a whole separate journey than just building a cross-compiler and building for a unique target | Oct 19 03:24 |
| LordPhanes | in 2001 i was skipping music class to go necking with my gal lol | Oct 19 03:25 |
| LordPhanes | i knew a little pascal and c++ back then, some linux, more about classic gen macs (pre-9 mac os) | Oct 19 03:26 |
| LordPhanes | tennessee isnt a great place to learn systems | Oct 19 03:26 |
| LordPhanes | i learned more in linux in the late 90s in oklahoma than 2001-2003 in tennessee | Oct 19 03:27 |
| IsambardPrince | There is apparently a newer Linux distribution for the PS2. | Oct 19 03:41 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not something Sony supported. | Oct 19 03:41 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Someone on Reddit posted a picture of some poptarts. | Oct 19 03:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They're not even bothering to frost the entire thing now. | Oct 19 03:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It's frosted here and there but not consistently. | Oct 19 03:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I said: M&Ms went the same way, especially the peanut M&Ms. They used to be huge, size was consistent, coloring was consistently applied. There was a full peanut in each one. | Oct 19 03:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Now they use broken peanuts to save money, the dye is so thin that it doesn't even coat them consistently, and they're half as big. | Oct 19 03:56 |
| LordPhanes | wait until the income/rent gap cliff hits | Oct 19 03:56 |
| LordPhanes | the 90th percentile income can no longer afford the median priced house sized for the median sized family without becoming housepoor | Oct 19 03:57 |
| LordPhanes | so these corporate investors are buying all the real estate and have been for about the last 10 years, 5 in particular in a frenzy | Oct 19 03:57 |
| LordPhanes | and then jacking up the rent because the rents are gauged on the house value that's being appraised based on sale value (which the buying is driving up) | Oct 19 03:58 |
| LordPhanes | folks are now paying like 30-50% more per month for rent than they were 5 years ago | Oct 19 03:58 |
| IsambardPrince | I was talking to my mother earlier about the lengths Walmart used to go to in order to avoid quality decline or price hikes. | Oct 19 03:59 |
| IsambardPrince | I said between 2003-2006 a banquet pot pie was 11.5 ounces. | Oct 19 03:59 |
| LordPhanes | when that gap increases to price out the median income level from the median house rental, there will start a cascade of chain impacts of system failures that eventually leads to rapid mass homelessness | Oct 19 03:59 |
| IsambardPrince | It was 48 cents in 2003, but ended up being 52 cents 3 years later. | Oct 19 03:59 |
| IsambardPrince | In the 20 years that followed, the price went up to $1 each, but the size went down to 7 ounces. They removed 4.5 ounces out of that pie. | Oct 19 04:00 |
| LordPhanes | when that happens at first the news will try to paint it like being poor and homeless is a criminal state of being | Oct 19 04:00 |
| LordPhanes | and try to villainize the poor | Oct 19 04:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Along with that, I used to see a pretty consistent 11-12 pieces of chicken along hte way and a good serving of carrots and peas. | Oct 19 04:00 |
| IsambardPrince | The new ones are mostly broth filling. | Oct 19 04:00 |
| LordPhanes | which will work for about a year. if the gap continues to increase people will just start pulling politicians out of buildings and eating them in the streets like a bad resident evil sequel | Oct 19 04:00 |
| IsambardPrince | You may get 2-3 pieces of chicken. There's also less vegetables. | Oct 19 04:00 |
| LordPhanes | they'll militarize the police against civilians which will buy some time | Oct 19 04:01 |
| IsambardPrince | So in reality on the actual product amount you get, this price hike would be to in excess of $3 vs. the 52 cents. | Oct 19 04:01 |
| LordPhanes | if that doesn't hold it all through it they'll do the national guard, a quarter of which will mutiny | Oct 19 04:01 |
| IsambardPrince | The Felony for being Homeless is already the law in Tennessee and Indiana. | Oct 19 04:02 |
| LordPhanes | by that point the only military that stays loyal will be those living in bunkers | Oct 19 04:02 |
| LordPhanes | i.e. people living on the base housing | Oct 19 04:02 |
| IsambardPrince | The state says that if you can't afford to live they'll put you in prison with a felony record. | Oct 19 04:02 |
| IsambardPrince | In Tennessee, with a felony record, you can't vote if they ever let you out. | Oct 19 04:02 |
| LordPhanes | nobody's going to march against their family | Oct 19 04:02 |
| LordPhanes | anyway the solution is obviously to funnel massive amount of wealth and money to israel | Oct 19 04:03 |
| MinceR | lol | Oct 19 04:04 |
| MinceR | maybe they'll march them against families in the other end of the country | Oct 19 04:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Then there's also a lot of this you go out to eat and the menu itself says "To cover the costs of doing business a 20% charge will be added that's not a tip." | Oct 19 04:05 |
| IsambardPrince | So basically "The menu is a lie and you have to do math to figure out what everything really costs." | Oct 19 04:05 |
| IsambardPrince | "We're hoping that you don't notice this or that the public education system failed you so badly you can't add 20% to everything in your head and then get up and walk out." | Oct 19 04:06 |
| LordPhanes | solution is not to tip saying the restaurant took 20%, thats between the restaurant and the server. the serves will eventually quit if everyone does it. | Oct 19 04:06 |
| LordPhanes | im a prolific tipper but thats systematic exploitation | Oct 19 04:07 |
| IsambardPrince | I think that the new Illinois Junk Fee Ban prohibits this starting January 1st. | Oct 19 04:07 |
| LordPhanes | i didn't realize illinois was still considered governed territory | Oct 19 04:08 |
| IsambardPrince | It requires businesses to put all fees that are not optional, including tax, into the price they state for goods and services. | Oct 19 04:08 |
| LordPhanes | chicago is a war zone | Oct 19 04:08 |
| IsambardPrince | <LordPhanes> chicago is a war zone | Oct 19 04:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Where at? | Oct 19 04:08 |
| IsambardPrince | I go out in Chicago all the time and I feel perfectly safe. | Oct 19 04:08 |
| LordPhanes | we need to build a wall around chicago and seal it and just check in on it every 500 years or so to see if the population did any legacy of kain evolution type shit | Oct 19 04:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Like every major city there are "bad spots" where you don't go there and especially after dark. | Oct 19 04:09 |
| MinceR | no, you need to build a wall around your king and make him pay for it | Oct 19 04:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of Chicago is safer than the majority of cities in Indiana on a per capita basis. | Oct 19 04:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Indiana cities have a higher crime rate for the most part. | Oct 19 04:10 |
| LordPhanes | my king | Oct 19 04:10 |
| LordPhanes | who are you talking about | Oct 19 04:10 |
| IsambardPrince | By "city" I obviously mean a place that has at least 50,000 people. | Oct 19 04:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Anything under 50,000 isn't really much of a city. | Oct 19 04:10 |
| MinceR | i'm talking about mango mussolini | Oct 19 04:10 |
| MinceR | though it's applicable to all autocrats | Oct 19 04:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Indiana is not just a vast wasteland. | Oct 19 04:10 |
| IsambardPrince | You can't even get to the grocery store or the next town without a car. | Oct 19 04:10 |
| MinceR | no sidewalks? | Oct 19 04:11 |
| IsambardPrince | So there's an unpredictable and unknowable monthly expense. | Oct 19 04:11 |
| LordPhanes | MinceR: Christopher Lee died in 2015 I don't have a king | Oct 19 04:11 |
| MinceR | :> | Oct 19 04:11 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, There are sidewalks in Indiana, sometimes. | Oct 19 04:11 |
| LordPhanes | I don't travel to indiana unless its to buy booze | Oct 19 04:11 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, You can technically ride a bicycle down the emergency lane of a state highway. | Oct 19 04:11 |
| MinceR | or perhaps low-ranking roads that are legal to walk on | Oct 19 04:11 |
| IsambardPrince | But obviously not on the interstate. | Oct 19 04:11 |
| LordPhanes | ya know what a disappointing state to travel through is alabama | Oct 19 04:12 |
| LordPhanes | aint fuckin shit goin on in alabama, ever | Oct 19 04:12 |
| IsambardPrince | There's only one good thing in Indiana that I miss. | Oct 19 04:12 |
| LordPhanes | the food sucks in alabama too | Oct 19 04:12 |
| LordPhanes | the cops are shit | Oct 19 04:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody in Chicago knows what the hell a giant pork tenderloin sandwich is. | Oct 19 04:12 |
| LordPhanes | the courts are weird and undocumented | Oct 19 04:13 |
| LordPhanes | everything's a fucking handshake | Oct 19 04:13 |
| IsambardPrince | The courts in Indiana are horrid. | Oct 19 04:13 |
| IsambardPrince | The judges are not elected. | Oct 19 04:13 |
| IsambardPrince | There are no retention elections. | Oct 19 04:13 |
| LordPhanes | oh i haven't seen courts in indiana but im sure its comparable | Oct 19 04:13 |
| IsambardPrince | So they don't give a fuck what you think because they don't answer to you and you can't do anything about them. | Oct 19 04:13 |
| LordPhanes | chicago does have some amazing americanized pizzqa | Oct 19 04:15 |
| IsambardPrince | In Chicago at least the judges are up for retention. | Oct 19 04:15 |
| IsambardPrince | The various bar associations put out "voter guides" saying who they think is qualified. | Oct 19 04:15 |
| IsambardPrince | There's websites about various judges and their more questionable rulings. | Oct 19 04:15 |
| LordPhanes | pizza* | Oct 19 04:15 |
| IsambardPrince | It's up to the voters as to whether that judge stays on the bench or now. | Oct 19 04:15 |

| LordPhanes | when they build the wall around chicago that they need, they should make a slot about the size of a pizza box | Oct 19 04:15 |
| MinceR | lol | Oct 19 04:15 |
| IsambardPrince | In theory the voters in Indiana choose the judges indirectly by electing a state government, a state government that changed all the voting laws to eliminate the voters the Republican Party doesn't want. | Oct 19 04:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Then gerrymandered everything so they would get a majority with as little as 42% of the vote. | Oct 19 04:16 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a lot like MinceR was talking about with Hungary under fidSS. | Oct 19 04:16 |
| LordPhanes | hey btw who the fuck keeps k-lining my user once a day on here and why? | Oct 19 04:16 |
| MinceR | k-lines haven't changed in weeks, afaict | Oct 19 04:17 |
| LordPhanes | just happened like day before yesterday | Oct 19 04:17 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Some VPN servers are banned (abuse). | Oct 19 04:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Does that make sense? | Oct 19 04:17 |
| LordPhanes | "(abuse)" is the message I get when it happens | Oct 19 04:17 |
| MinceR | probably someone abused the network through them | Oct 19 04:17 |
| IsambardPrince | The criminals that likely triggered those undoubtedly could still keep connecting if they want to. | Oct 19 04:17 |
| LordPhanes | most recently was on my residential connection | Oct 19 04:17 |
| MinceR | maybe someone flooded the network from your residential connection? | Oct 19 04:18 |
| LordPhanes | i know one of the ops on here is a cave troll with no life i just dont remember which one it is | Oct 19 04:19 |
| MinceR | why do you frequent a network that has a cave troll with no life for an op? | Oct 19 04:19 |
| LordPhanes | oh come on every irc network has at least a 5:8 loser:passable ratio | Oct 19 04:19 |
| MinceR | why do you use irc if you hate it so much | Oct 19 04:20 |
| LordPhanes | if i needed to find an insecure cave troll to win a contest i would immediately get on irc | Oct 19 04:20 |
| MinceR | do such contests happen often? | Oct 19 04:20 |
| LordPhanes | im ready | Oct 19 04:20 |
| MinceR | hi ready, i'm dad | Oct 19 04:20 |
| LordPhanes | there's alot less people on irc since freenode hit an iceberg though i have to admit | Oct 19 04:21 |
| LordPhanes | at least a few of them missing are me | Oct 19 04:24 |
| IsambardPrince | I ended up buying all four consoles of that era, the Gamecube, original Xbox, a PS2, and a Dreamcast. | Oct 19 04:33 |
| LordPhanes | i always wanted an xbox but i hated their controllers | Oct 19 04:34 |
| LordPhanes | i was a sega -> ps1 -> ps2 -> ps3 -> ps4 guy and then was too old to buy shit like that anymore | Oct 19 04:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Someone posted a picture of a gaming convention with booths for all of those. | Oct 19 04:34 |
| IsambardPrince | They all had their own exclusives. | Oct 19 04:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Nintendo especially so. | Oct 19 04:34 |
| IsambardPrince | The Gamecube was my favorite system out of that bunch though. | Oct 19 04:35 |
| LordPhanes | honestly the PS4 and Ps5 were both massive disappointments | Oct 19 04:35 |
| IsambardPrince | The Dreamcast got off to a good start. | Oct 19 04:35 |
| IsambardPrince | The hardware was capable and should have had several more years in it. | Oct 19 04:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Sega tapped out and discontinued them. | Oct 19 04:35 |
| LordPhanes | yeah sega kinda got weird after the sega cd era | Oct 19 04:36 |
| IsambardPrince | The 32x was the bigger mistake. | Oct 19 04:38 |
| IsambardPrince | It diverted SH-2 CPUs, which were underclocked for the 32x, during a shortage, which caused them to miss sales projections on the Saturn, which used the SH-2 at full clock speed. | Oct 19 04:39 |
| IsambardPrince | And it confused consumers about what the upgrade path was. | Oct 19 04:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Without hitting sales projections on the console, you won't sell as many games, so the Saturn sort of became a forgotten console. | Oct 19 04:40 |
| IsambardPrince | It didn't sell well because you can't sell from an empty shelf. | Oct 19 04:40 |
| IsambardPrince | KB Toys and some other big chains were so angry at Sega for not having any Saturns to sell that they refused to ever sell any Sega consoles again. | Oct 19 04:43 |
| IsambardPrince | So there were toy stores that refused the Dreamcast on launch. | Oct 19 04:44 |
| IsambardPrince | I ended up buying one after the discontinuation announcement. | Oct 19 04:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Walmart marked the Dreamcast down to $79 and all of the games on the shelf were put on clearance. | Oct 19 04:45 |
| IsambardPrince | It's hard to argue with $79 console and two dozen games to take home for $12.99 each. | Oct 19 04:45 |
| LordPhanes | i tremendously dislike how overengineered gitlab has become | Oct 19 04:53 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I told Kiki "Let's do an experiment. Pray to God that he'll send you cat treats from heaven." | Oct 19 04:54 |
| LordPhanes | they've almost reached the Atlassian problem where they've overbuilt it to keep their engineers busy that they've turned it a process obstacle | Oct 19 04:54 |
| IsambardPrince | I waites about ten seconds. "Nope? Pray to me that I'll send you cat treats. Okay!" And I gave her a bunch out of my hand. | Oct 19 04:54 |
| IsambardPrince | LordPhanes, Nintendo didn't see the Gamecube as a computer. They always saw it as a toy first. | Oct 19 04:55 |
| IsambardPrince | So the xbox has all this fluff that serves no purpose or holds it back as a gaming platform. | Oct 19 04:55 |
| LordPhanes | all consoles are computers | Oct 19 04:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It brings over all the worst stuff from the PC. | Oct 19 04:56 |
| LordPhanes | oh, yeah, isn't xbox based on like windows nt or some weird shit | Oct 19 04:56 |
| LordPhanes | honestly DRM killed the video game industry. games were better when the engineering was focused on how much they could stretch the hardware to meet their vision instead of how many rights they could keep the user from using | Oct 19 04:57 |
| LordPhanes | "thanks boomers" | Oct 19 04:58 |
| LordPhanes | almost every problem in the world ties back to old boomers with distorted realities and too much fucking control | Oct 19 04:59 |
| LordPhanes | they aren't giving up the reigns either | Oct 19 04:59 |
| IsambardPrince | I liked Earthsiege II. I was hoping that Starsiege would be more like that game. Just improved. | Oct 19 04:59 |
| LordPhanes | they're just dying in power | Oct 19 04:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Earthsiege II had one major downside. The Razor was completely overpowered, especially with two plasma canons. | Oct 19 05:00 |
| IsambardPrince | The enemy herc AI was designed for ground combat. By the time it targeted you in the Razor you already flew past it. | Oct 19 05:00 |
| IsambardPrince | The tracking on the ground units was so bad that they wouldn't even get a lucky shot if you flew full speed. | Oct 19 05:01 |
| IsambardPrince | So you might as well just link both plasma canons for tougher enemies or taking out their base. By the time you fly back around the reactor will be ready again. | Oct 19 05:01 |

| andy | it's not rocket science if you understand even simple decision trees and markov models, but if you /don't/ understand the probablistic nature of those and you use them, you're playing with fire | Oct 19 14:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you don't need to understand these | Oct 19 14:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you deploy | Oct 19 14:28 |

| MinceR | so LLM-s are OK as long as they're not referred to as AI? | Oct 19 14:31 |
| andy | a language model can be quite useful, if you've got a decent use case for it | Oct 19 14:31 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | ii could make it reattempt | Oct 19 15:03 |

| andy | I''m not against compute infra in general. It could be done gracefully, with sustainable power etc. But seriously fuck Microsoft. | Oct 19 15:04 |
| Sompi | andy: Google cut down 300 hectares of "forest" in Finland. Of course it wasn't any old-growth natural forest, but the problem is that there are double standards - those technology companies can do anything they want, but a farmer is not allowed to cut down even one tree even when it is needed to build something, even if similar amount of trees will grow back elsewhere on the farm's area | Oct 19 15:04 |
| Sompi | And another problem is every time when trees are cut down by these DC companies or other "green transition" projects, the area is always covered so that the trees never grow back | Oct 19 15:05 |
| andy | Absolutely Sompi, the "face value" issues are not the important questions. It's about corruption, power, domination and the erosion of democracy. fuck ALL these technofascists, | Oct 19 15:06 |
| andy | and the reality is that there's nothing much of value to gain | Oct 19 15:06 |
| Sompi | For example, if a cow farm needs a new cowshed, the new one needs to be built before the old one is demolished. But in the end there is the same area being covered by buildings, and trees take back the area where the old cowshed was. But that's not how it works with these data centers... | Oct 19 15:08 |
| Sompi | But the farmer is not allowed to build the new cowshed because it would require cutting down some trees | Oct 19 15:08 |
| Sompi | But with these data centers, wind power plants etc. cutting down trees is suddenly okay | Oct 19 15:08 |

| Sompi | I know | Oct 19 16:08 |

| parsifal | <Sompi> .....A typical Finnish boomer is ridiculously stupid, I would estimate that their average IQ is at most 70 or less | Oct 19 16:21 |
| parsifal | ^This whole "boomer" thing is an oversimplification of the issue, especially since itβs being pushed by Gen Z on platforms like Twitch, Discord, and other such cesspools... | Oct 19 16:21 |
| parsifal | Not to mention that itβs highly debatable who is actually smarter or dumber -> Gen Z β the first generation officially dubbed dumber than the last -> https://nypost.com/2026/02/07/us-news/gen-z-the-first-generation-officially-dubbed-dumber-than-the-last/ | Oct 19 16:22 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-nypost.com | Gen Z β the first generation officially dubbed dumber than the last | Oct 19 16:22 | |
| parsifal | And yes, Iβm a boomer -> though not a Finnish one, still a boomer, for anyone whoβs interested ;) | Oct 19 16:22 |
| Sompi | The problem with Finns is that the intelligence is mostly measured in the army, when the tested people are still quite young | Oct 19 16:24 |
| Sompi | So the cognitive degradation that happens later in life goes unnoticed | Oct 19 16:25 |
| Sompi | And in the end you have a million over 70 year olds who cannot even form coherent sentences but are, on a paper, still cognitively fully functional people | Oct 19 16:25 |
| Sompi | And then we have an entire nation of people who have an average IQ of 98 in the statistics, but in reality the average is much lower because those older individuals are never tested again later in their lives | Oct 19 16:28 |
| Sompi | And because of some environmental factors, that can currently only be speculated, Finns lose more of their cognitive abilities at old age than most other populations | Oct 19 16:29 |
| Sompi | And it is becoming very easy to notice in so many things | Oct 19 16:30 |
| parsifal | I wrote the above not to engage in arguments, but as a starting point and food for thought regarding the issue ;) | Oct 19 16:32 |
| parsifal | Second, but no less important: a fool is a fool whether heβs 7 or 70 -> anything else is just convenient waffle. | Oct 19 16:32 |
| parsifal | Also -> Measuring intelligence in the army is... a joke... and I don't feel like going into detail to explain why. | Oct 19 16:32 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-MeshXFS: AI Adapts XFS Into A Clustered File-System - Phoronix | Oct 19 20:13 | |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], This would be a bad idea to put into a production environment. | Oct 19 20:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Over the last few decades I have personally ran into so many issues with the in-tree XFS driver and it was not previously encountered by the maintainers who have been working on it since it was put into production in the 90s. | Oct 19 20:13 |
| IsambardPrince | With this "AI vibe coded driver" it's like 100,000 lines larger than the in-tree driver, and it's also taken all the in-tree code and modified that too. So you don't actually even know what the core file system code is doing anymore. | Oct 19 20:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Because you don't know where these "AI" agents have touched and modified something important that was that way because you have file system corruption otherwise. | Oct 19 20:15 |
| IsambardPrince | I've talked to Eric Sandeen about other implementations of XFS before, ones that were at least written by humans. | Oct 19 20:16 |
| IsambardPrince | And also how it interacts with bootloaders. | Oct 19 20:16 |
| IsambardPrince | I recall two conversations in particular, one where a consultant had ported XFS to Windows as an Installable File System driver. | Oct 19 20:17 |
| IsambardPrince | I asked him to glance at it. | Oct 19 20:17 |
| IsambardPrince | He said, at the time, that it was based on a snapshot of XFS that was several years old and therefore it had many bugs that were since fixed in the Linux kernel version that could cause data loss. | Oct 19 20:17 |
| IsambardPrince | He said that it was probably not a GPL violation because the way the installable file systems work on Windows is that it runs in userspace, with massive performance penalties, like FUSE. | Oct 19 20:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IsambardPrince: see this from andy | Oct 19 20:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | from today: | Oct 19 20:19 |
| IsambardPrince | But then I asked why Fedora, at the time, did not support installing on XFS as the filesystem root, and he said that they did Anaconda that way on purpose. | Oct 19 20:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <techrights-news> After Linux: "What will Microsoft call the kernel when Torvalds is finally relieved of duty? What are the people going to call the Linux forks that will be our future?" https://cybershow.uk/content/home/home.html | Oct 19 20:19 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-cybershow.uk | Home | Oct 19 20:19 | |
| IsambardPrince | Although Grub Legacy supported XFS, they found that it would subtly corrupt the file system sometimes, so the only supported way to use it on Fedora at that point was to have / on Ext3 or Ext4 including /boot. | Oct 19 20:20 |
| IsambardPrince | You could have anything else you wanted on XFS, but not that. | Oct 19 20:20 |
| IsambardPrince | He said something to the effect of "And for that matter, we've caught hundreds of cases where GRUB corrupts Ext3, so we're trying to keep our support tickets down to where we can actually support the use case most people will be using." | Oct 19 20:21 |
| IsambardPrince | That's perfectly reasonable I guess. | Oct 19 20:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Just because I never ran into any "corrupts the entire file system" problem with GRUB Legacy and XFS on Mandriva or Ubuntu doesn't mean that someone running it at enterprise scale didn't. | Oct 19 20:22 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], delaylog was my idea though initially. | Oct 19 20:22 |
| IsambardPrince | They actually wrote the code and merged it because I complained that XFS was painfully slow when deleting a lot of small files. | Oct 19 20:23 |
| IsambardPrince | I asked why couldn't it just batch a lot of them together and commit it at the next regular journal update. | Oct 19 20:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Those regular updates happen a lot anyway when there's been activity so the potential risk window is relatively small. | Oct 19 20:24 |

| IsambardPrince | *standard | Oct 19 20:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Sex offenses, especially those involving violence, power, control, or pedophilic disorder, are driven by psychological factors, power dynamics, and cognition rather than purely biological sex drive. Consequently, biological suppression alone does not eliminate non-sexual motives for violence, nor does it replace the necessity of comprehensive psychiatric and behavioral rehabilitation. | Oct 19 20:46 |

| IsambardPrince | The framework operates on the premise that anti-social or criminal behavior stems from "stunted" moral development or self-serving cognitive distortions. The therapy aims to guide participants toward higher-level moral reasoning, accountability, distress tolerance, and prosocial behavior. | Oct 19 20:47 |
| IsambardPrince | It's commonly used in probation and parole for high level offenders. | Oct 19 20:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Like everything else they've tried, it's rarely successful but sometimes helps. | Oct 19 20:47 |
| IsambardPrince | If anyone figured out some fantastic way of dealing with people like this, and their Anti-Social Personality Disorder, the world would be a much different place. | Oct 19 20:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Instead, they've figured out how to wrap ASPD into things that are politically untouchable. | Oct 19 20:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Like the transgender mental illness. | Oct 19 20:49 |

| IsambardPrince | Because if the pastor says anything, he gets arrested now. | Oct 19 20:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Transgender issues have nothing to do with gay rights. | Oct 19 20:53 |
| IsambardPrince | The gay rights movement happened because of constant, actual, oppression. | Oct 19 20:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Over hundreds of years. | Oct 19 20:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Which included being beaten up by the police for congregating at a bar, put in prison for having sex with other consenting adults (the US police in many states even wasted public resources on "sting operations", and being gassed to death in Nazi Holocaust Camps. | Oct 19 20:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Gay and Lesbian people in Nazi Germany were persecuted and murdered because of nearly the same reason everyone else they murdered was. Not because it made sense, but because the regime put hatred above the survival of the state. | Oct 19 20:56 |
| IsambardPrince | For starters, those Holocaust camps were murdering people who could have otherwise added millions of soldiers to the war effort. | Oct 19 20:57 |
| IsambardPrince | I think that the Nazi Party could have come to power without that, honestly. | Oct 19 20:57 |
| IsambardPrince | The public was already seething about high unemployment, high inflation, the WWI allies bleeding their economy dry. | Oct 19 20:57 |
| IsambardPrince | But you look at the Nazi Penal Code in 1935. | Oct 19 20:58 |
| IsambardPrince | They arrested over 100,000 men for homosexuality, many of which there was no proof that they were even gay. Someone who didn't like them made a sworn statement to the police. That's all it took. | Oct 19 20:59 |
| IsambardPrince | So instead of 100,000 potential soldiers, they just killed them on a hunch. | Oct 19 20:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Lobster has serious head problems if he's accusing a gay man who knows all about the Nazis, of being a Nazi. | Oct 19 21:01 |

| IsambardPrince | The Libertarians believe in relatively free immigration benefits (make sure they're not a criminal then they are allowed in), and support gay marriage since 1972. | Oct 19 21:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump is fucking up the middle east by an unimaginable amount, even by the standards of the middle east. | Oct 19 21:06 |
| IsambardPrince | He's screwing around with illegal kidnappings of leaders of sovereign nations. | Oct 19 21:06 |

| IsambardPrince | We had 8 years under Bill Clinton where there were no wars. | Oct 19 21:12 |

| *jelly (~jelly@00012145.user.oftc.net) has joined #techrights | Oct 19 21:12 | |
| IsambardPrince | The worst thing we walked in on under Clinton was the peacekeeping operation in Somalia. | Oct 19 21:12 |
| IsambardPrince | I think like 143 Americans died in that because the operation went forward with poor planning and insufficient backup. | Oct 19 21:13 |
| IsambardPrince | The idea was that Army Rangers would rope in from helicopters and arrest a warlord that had caused a famine and was stealing UN food and medical relief. | Oct 19 21:13 |
| IsambardPrince | The helicopters ended up being shot down leading to a rolling firefight between the surviving Rangers and the local militias. | Oct 19 21:14 |
| IsambardPrince | The casualties were obviously much higher among the militia because they were not well trained or equipped, but it was a success in the end for them because the US ended up pulling out and videos of dead Army Rangers being dragged down the streets made it to CNN. | Oct 19 21:16 |
| IsambardPrince | It's difficult to win something like that, not because our military isn't capable. | Oct 19 21:18 |
| IsambardPrince | But because the leadership is bad. | Oct 19 21:18 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't want to commit the resources to a successful operation, so they ensure that the whole thing goes sideways, very publicly, on CNN. | Oct 19 21:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they freak out and pull back. | Oct 19 21:19 |
| IsambardPrince | And the lesson for thugs and terrorists everywhere is that if you just wait out the United States, they'll leave eventually. | Oct 19 21:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Before the Battle of Mogadishu, U.S. commanders in the field had requested heavy armor (AC-130 gunships and tanks) to support the task force, but Defense Secretary Les Aspin denied the request over concerns that heavy armor would send the wrong political message about the "humanitarian" nature of the mission. | Oct 19 21:21 |
| IsambardPrince | If they had gone in using the M1A1 tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles, that would have played out much differently. | Oct 19 21:22 |

| IsambardPrince | :) | Oct 19 21:39 |
| IsambardPrince | There's ads all over the CTA about how a baby should sleep. | Oct 19 21:39 |
| IsambardPrince | I guess they have to educate South Chicago about this. | Oct 19 21:39 |
| IsambardPrince | In a CPSC approved crib. | Oct 19 21:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Alone. | Oct 19 21:40 |
| IsambardPrince | They say without blankets and pillows. | Oct 19 21:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Never in a bed or next to an adult. | Oct 19 21:40 |
| IsambardPrince | The infant should sleep without a blanket because it should be dressed warmly enough. | Oct 19 21:41 |
| MinceR | 19 223152 < schestowitz[TR2]> define republican | Oct 19 21:41 |
| IsambardPrince | You know you'd think a lot of this would be common sense. | Oct 19 21:41 |
| MinceR | supporter of having a given country become or remain a republic | Oct 19 21:41 |
| IsambardPrince | People have been having babies since there have been people. | Oct 19 21:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Almost everyone in my generation survived, without ads on a bus. | Oct 19 21:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Suddenly Ass Burgers and "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome" are a thing. | Oct 19 21:41 |
| IsambardPrince | My parents were so exhausted from work and everything and I never slept through the night. | Oct 19 21:42 |
| IsambardPrince | So I was often the one up and taking care of my brother, when I was like 9-10 years old. | Oct 19 21:42 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean, for fucks sake I was using deep fryers and lawnmowers and hedge trimmers when I was 8 years old. | Oct 19 21:42 |
| IsambardPrince | And riding my bicycle across town alone. | Oct 19 21:43 |
| IsambardPrince | There's no breathing room for a child to actually turn into an adult anymore. | Oct 19 21:43 |
| IsambardPrince | No parents who expect them to have skills. | Oct 19 21:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Everyone that my partner works with says "Wow, Ryan is a really good cook." every time they taste some leftovers he brings. | Oct 19 21:44 |
| MinceR | most of the "adults" aren't adults, either | Oct 19 21:44 |
| IsambardPrince | There's a 100 year old man who he takes care of that particularly likes my spaghetti and meatballs recipt. | Oct 19 21:44 |
| IsambardPrince | *recipe | Oct 19 21:44 |
| IsambardPrince | I always send an extra container for that guy. | Oct 19 21:44 |
| MinceR | ball consumption | Oct 19 21:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Sam's Club sells 6 pound bags of frozen meatballs. | Oct 19 21:49 |
| IsambardPrince | I can make a full pot of spaghetti four times with that one bag of meatballs. | Oct 19 21:50 |
| IsambardPrince | It works out to $8 cheaper over the course of the bag than buying four 1.5 pound bags of meatballs at the grocery store. | Oct 19 21:50 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The whole point of those warehouse clubs is everything they sell is enormous. | Oct 19 21:56 |
| IsambardPrince | The cost of the trip is high, but then you don't need to worry about that stuff again for a long time. | Oct 19 21:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It gets the unit price down. | Oct 19 21:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Completely different model than a store like Walmart. | Oct 19 21:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Like they have a great price on toothpaste but you might have to buy 4 large tubes at once. | Oct 19 21:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Or the cost of a Mach 3 razor head is great, but you have to buy two dozen at once. | Oct 19 21:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Averaged out over time, you do better than buying it at Walmart. | Oct 19 21:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i manged to get 4 fusion blades | Oct 19 22:02 |
