[00:46] BaronVladimirHar Avast! Free Edition scored higher. [00:47] BaronVladimirHar That's what I used back during XP mainly, though I did set up AVG on an ex's computer because he had been running Windows with nothing at all. [00:48] BaronVladimirHar It used to be a lot less spammy. [00:48] BaronVladimirHar They added a lot of questionable features and then turned the free antivirus into nagware that, yes it has a basic antivirus engine in it, but you won't be able to tolerate it for very long without paying. [00:49] BaronVladimirHar On one of my systems, I noticed that Avira Antivir Free was mostly different in it popped up a nag screen once per day, so I downloaded a small tray applet and trained it to identify and close that window whenever Avira opened it.

[17:57] stormchaser3000 I almost wonder if there needs to be parenting classes at this point... at the very least some training to teach parents that when they have children, they need to teah their children right from wrong as well as prepare them for dangerous situations [17:57] *xvx (~xvx@185.48.63.110) has joined #techrights [17:57] stormchaser3000 then, of course, there would be the problem of who runs the parenting classes XD [17:58] stormchaser3000 children are very naive so they do need to be protected from some things, but they also need to be prepared to deal with dangerous situations like if some perverted individual drives up next to them asking them to get in the car [17:59] stormchaser3000 a child, without the appropriate training, would probably give in [17:59] stormchaser3000 therefore, training a child to deal with such situations is imperative ● May 28 [18:00] *saint_dogbert has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds) [18:09] *phebus has quit (Quit: POKE 1,0) [18:14] kingoffrance "Microsoft progress bars don't line up to any standard measure of time remaining" yes, all the spinning things i see now many places.....i suppose i gave up on expecting any estimate, bar has been lowered [18:14] kingoffrance dots moving in a circle, no estimation when orbit completes :/ [18:15] kingoffrance it bothered me a lot, i guess ppl are used to it [18:15] kingoffrance how did we go backwards ?

[20:45] BaronVladimirHar So I went back, and it turned out that the guy had put the new tire on and filled it to spec, but didn't top off the other tires with air, so I had to reset the TPMS light with the radio and sit there while the guy topped the other tires off. [20:45] BaronVladimirHar The TPMS on this car is really sensitive. [20:46] BaronVladimirHar Most of the "Message Center" crap can be reset with the radio by pulling up a diagnostic menu. [20:47] BaronVladimirHar The guy at Pep Boys didn't know how to turn off the TPMS light. I told him, "Well, I figured it out because almost nobody resets the Oil Change Interval light either and you have to use the radio to reset that one.". [20:48] BaronVladimirHar The OCI is simple. If you reset it, it goes off 5,000 miles later. If you don't, it might come on between oil changes. [20:49] BaronVladimirHar Oil Change Interval lights are meant to help a driver never forget to change their oil, but since the driver is usually the one to turn it off because the shop didn't, it's just a light that comes on and needs to be turned off. [20:50] BaronVladimirHar MinceR Or at Microsoft would say..... [20:50] BaronVladimirHar Hey there. It looks like you forgot an oil change. Want some help?

IE 3 was the beginning of the bundle. In Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2.1, IE 3 was included as an inf and cab file that the installer would extract, and there was no uninstall program included, but if you deleted the inf and cab files and then made a new installation CD, you would get Windows 95 B without any traces of IE 3. [22:31] BaronVladimirHar Windows 95 OSR 2.5 came with IE 4 and the Shell Update pre-installed. In fact, it was almost identical to the first release of Windows 98 aside from the ability to run program code from the vcache area, and the WDM driver model which almost nothing used for years anyway. [22:31] BaronVladimirHar The IE shell update was where things really went wrong for Windows 9x. [22:32] BaronVladimirHar It was so unstable and leaky that it severely compromised the reliability of the system. [22:33] BaronVladimirHar For the first 2 versions of IE, there was only one person on the entire project. Bill Gates was still questioning whether the internet was going to be a fad in the home computer market clear up to about 1997.

[23:37] *bleb has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [23:40] tuks watching this patents video (it's mentioned that patent rights go for 20 years), it reminded me the scent "cool water" [23:41] stormchaser3000 patents continue for 20 years!? [23:41] stormchaser3000 that is insane [23:41] tuks yep... why? the answer is: methylbenzodioxepinon - this is the chemical component that makes you smell like sea breeze [23:41] schestowitz stormchaser3000: sometimes more [23:41] schestowitz depending where [23:42] schestowitz Brazil's supreme court recently challenged this in context of pharma IIRC [23:42] stormchaser3000 wouldn't that just kill any and all competition for longer than is necessary? [23:42] tuks and it was patented 1966 - so when the twenty years were over, folks started to experimenting with it [23:42] stormchaser3000 I understand the need for patents in the short-term, but in the long-term that sounds rediculous [23:42] tuks this is why cool water came was developed just after that, '87/'88 [23:42] stormchaser3000 by short-term I mean like 2 - 5 years [23:43] schestowitz that's how long it sometimes take just to get a patent [23:43] tuks this established a new trend, so called aquatic scents (along with new west by aramis) [23:43] schestowitz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw87EI98v9o [23:43] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Freenode Hijacks 700 Rooms Promoting LiberaChat - YouTube [23:43] schestowitz just published [23:44] schestowitz rasengan: bad move [23:44] stormchaser3000 yeah, I saw that [23:44] schestowitz "I wasn't planning to talk about the Freenode drama until the recent bannings happened, the remaining Freenode team decided that it would be a good idea to start hijacking channels promoting LiberaChat and destroy any last sense of credibility they had.

[23:47] stormchaser3000 I really don't want IRC to die, but this situation might just start the death knel [23:47] BaronVladimirHar Well, we know Mandy does not have COVID. [23:47] MinceR i don't think this will kill IRC [23:47] BaronVladimirHar The lab test says negative, which confirms the quick one, but my nose is starting to get itchy. [23:48] MinceR and if we do move, i hope it's not to libera or oftc [23:48] stormchaser3000 MinceR: that is the reason I said "start" [23:48] BaronVladimirHar That stupid cunt at the walk-in clinic was like "It's probably allergies." which probably explains a fever of 101 or why he was chilling, and why I'm starting to feel like crap. [23:48] BaronVladimirHar Sorry for the language, but ugh. [23:48] stormchaser3000 I don't think IRC will die right away, but I woudn't be surprised if it dies over the course of the next couple years [23:48] BaronVladimirHar $200-400 for "It's probably allergies." [23:49] stormchaser3000 then again, I am a bit of a pessimist : [23:49] stormchaser3000 :/ [23:49] BaronVladimirHar I'm doing a blog post about shit like this. [23:49] BaronVladimirHar Don't go to walk-in clinics unless you have the clap. [23:49] BaronVladimirHar They don't do too well unless it's the clap or a broken bone. [23:49] schestowitz [23:47] i don't think this will kill IRC [23:49] schestowitz right [23:50] MinceR maybe we'll have a truly distributed and well manageable alternative though [23:50] tuks matrix [23:50] alextee[m] matrix! yes [23:50] schestowitz BaronVladimirHar: off topic [23:50] alextee[m] if you can handle the bloat [23:50] MinceR matrix is not that yet [23:50] MinceR it's not distributed enough [23:50] schestowitz matrix doesn't have broad support [23:50] MinceR and matrix.org is censored [23:50] BaronVladimirHar It's mostly children now on matrix.org. [23:50] alextee[m] how is it not distributed enough? you can host your own server (although it's a pain) [23:51] tuks yeah, but you can have your own server then [23:51] schestowitz and the people behind it are no better than those who start unnecessary ideological wars [23:51] MinceR you need a domain name for your own server [23:51] alextee[m] yeah matrix.org people are generally SJWs, but at least they do the work to develop the features [23:51] alextee[m] MinceR: costs 10 dollars a year [23:51] alextee[m] iirc it wants to hijack your whole domain though [23:51] stormchaser3000 Matrix is also extremely heavy on bandwidth [23:51] MinceR and the domain name system isn't exactly trustworthy -- most registrars will happily revoke your domain for all sorts of bullshit complaints [23:52] BaronVladimirHar 1-10, matrix.org is like a 8.3 on the Jared Fogle scale. [23:52] schestowitz IRC works [23:52] alextee[m] matrix on GNUnet then MinceR :-) [23:52] BaronVladimirHar None of those open source projects went for Matrix. [23:52] tuks if I'm not mistaken, it's possible to keep irc and bridge it, in case there will be a room [23:52] schestowitz "hSiiiiny toys" syndrome [23:52] BaronVladimirHar They just did another IRC server and say a bridge is coming. [23:52] MinceR alextee[m]: does that actually work? [23:53] alextee[m] I think IRC and matrix both have their use cases, one doesn't replace the other [23:53] alextee[m] MinceR: haven't tried it, GNUnet development seems pretty slow [23:53] alextee[m] I wish fsf backed these projects more [23:53] schestowitz which ones? [23:53] alextee[m] GNU taler is another great project [23:53] schestowitz matrix? [23:53] alextee[m] schestowitz: GNUnet [23:54] schestowitz I tried it [23:54] schestowitz but it's not ready yet [23:54] schestowitz unless you love testing things [23:54] alextee[m] yeah it's not usable yet, but it's supposed to have its own domain system [23:54] MinceR there's also secushare [23:54] alextee[m] so you don't have to depend on registrars [23:54] schestowitz taler and gnunet are connected to other dweb and privacy projects [23:54] schestowitz so gnu puts some key pieces in place [23:54] BaronVladimirHar Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks that Matrix.org is too Fogley. [23:55] schestowitz [23:54] yeah it's not usable yet, but it's supposed to have its own domain system [23:55] schestowitz supposed to [23:55] schestowitz when it is ready for production [23:55] alextee[m] heh, I hate how most free software projects are sitting as hobby projects while the main devs have full time jobs doing other things [23:56] psydroid eventually nothing should stay on matrix.org, but not enough projects and individuals run their own servers yet [23:56] schestowitz you can already bypass dns for techrights, use ipfs [23:56] MinceR it's better than having suits fuck them up, though [23:56] alextee[m] psydroid: I think the main reason to use matrix.org is because it sees the newest features first. once all the fancy features are there more people will run their own nodes I think [23:57] tuks serenityos dev just quit his job in order to do the os full time [23:58] tuks there is a new fancy feature on matrix called spaces. it's a collection of rooms basically [23:59] alextee[m] yeah this is the only thing that discord was doing better than matrix [23:59] alextee[m] now there's almost nothing worthy in discord that matrix doesn't have [23:59] alextee[m] maybe custom emojis
