[00:00:27] <SirFinkus> pretty much every pose is sexual
[00:00:57] <SirFinkus> fucking disney trying to get me to jack off to anthropomorphic ducks
[00:01:08] <AndyTheAbsurd> is it working?
[00:01:52] <SirFinkus> no
[00:01:57] <SirFinkus> but I resent the attempt
[00:02:03] <Ethanol-fueled> Wow, you're right, she is a whole
[00:02:06] <Ethanol-fueled> whore
[00:02:14] <Ethanol-fueled> But Gadget was more anthropomorphic
[00:02:32] <SirFinkus> true
[00:03:01] <Ethanol-fueled> https://i.paigeeworld.com
[00:03:03] <SirFinkus> I think my sexuality and psyche were more fucked up by fantasia
[00:03:07] <SirFinkus> on the disney front
[00:03:14] <Ethanol-fueled> Somebody, apparantly with some talent, took the time to draw that.
[00:03:51] <Ethanol-fueled> Fantasia is straight-up Satanist, with a soundtrack by a Nazi-lover
[00:04:01] <SirFinkus> so many titties
[00:04:19] <SirFinkus> I liked how they made the black centaurs zebras
[00:04:24] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, but it's totally appropriate to show kids since it is a disney cartoon.
[00:04:57] <SirFinkus> I don't think it was supposed to be a kids cartoon
[00:05:12] <SirFinkus> I remember that last one scared the shit of me as a kid
[00:05:18] <SirFinkus> in the "good" sense I think
[00:05:25] <SirFinkus> kids today are too pampered
[00:05:48] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Bees Dead from Aerial Zika Spraying in South Carolina - http://sylnt.us - not-what-we-need
[00:05:51] <Ethanol-fueled> When my parents first showed it to me (I believe I was around 9 or 10 at the time) they explained every step.

[00:06:03] <Ethanol-fueled> "Oh, and that's the prince of darkness"
[00:06:04] <SirFinkus> this one
[00:06:10] <SirFinkus> which is super badass
[00:06:18] <Ethanol-fueled> "See, all those ghosts! It's like the haunted house at Disneyland!"
[00:06:52] <Ethanol-fueled> that's Wagner on keyboards, right?
[00:07:55] <SirFinkus> night on bald mountian is wagner?
[00:08:15] <SirFinkus> I don't really know my classical
[00:08:34] <Ethanol-fueled> My bad, that's Mussorgsky
[00:08:39] <SirFinkus> I don't hear any keyboards either
[00:08:44] <Ethanol-fueled> that was the joke
[00:10:00] <SirFinkus> pure wank like this would never get released these days
[00:10:35] <Ethanol-fueled> Only because people have too short an attention span.
[00:11:01] <Ethanol-fueled> Play the same soundtrack and show a montage of police beating blacks. Easy, cheap, and will get a lot of people paying to see it.
[00:11:12] <Ethanol-fueled> Then they can all masturbate about it on Twitter.
[00:11:17] <takyon> mmmmmh
[00:11:41] <Ethanol-fueled> Frame it in the context of drawing attention to America's problems.
[00:12:27] <SirFinkus> fantasia was even body positive, remember https://www.youtube.com
[00:12:28] <CloudShark> ^ 03FANTASIA - Hyacinth Hippo her servants - YouTube
[00:12:42] <Ethanol-fueled> And, most importantly, the director of the film must name his or herself TyShonda Jenkins
[00:12:45] <SirFinkus> the rape culture is triggering
[00:13:12] <SirFinkus> they'd have to remove the alligator subplot
[00:13:39] <takyon> is Disneyland/world a safe space?

[00:14:28] <SirFinkus> *come hither's with her ass*
[00:14:33] <SirFinkus> TELL ME I WAS ASKING FOR IT
[00:14:48] Bytram|away is now known as bytram
[00:15:29] <Ethanol-fueled> The butt-shaking probably came from observations of ducks
[00:15:35] <takyon> how do you know that is body positive? hippos basically look like that
[00:16:08] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, they portrayed brown hippos as nimble, which likely was the prototype for the Black booty-shaking culture.
[00:16:41] <Ethanol-fueled> But the sad reality is as it is with REAL hippos. There is no boody-shaking. There's a fat bitch with minimal movement who lives on the couch.
[00:17:04] <Ethanol-fueled> and when she wants you, she doesn't wiffle anything. You lift up the ham-hock and try to get in.
[00:17:06] <takyon> all this rape culture
[00:17:20] <takyon> daily reminder that all PIV is rape
[00:17:37] <SirFinkus> real hippos shit and swirl their tails around to spray the shit everywhere
[00:17:52] <Ethanol-fueled> Damn Fink, you're an expert in many fields.
[00:18:17] <SirFinkus> https://www.youtube.com
[00:18:18] <CloudShark> ^ 03Hippo HAS GAS, Farts then Flicks poop all over! GROSS Must SEE - YouTube
[00:18:36] <SirFinkus> they added sound for some reason
[00:19:09] <Ethanol-fueled> It sounded like a chainsaw
[00:20:09] <SirFinkus> I'm not sure if that's a "come hither" thing from them
[00:20:39] <Ethanol-fueled> Animals do funny shit though - last time I was at the wild animal park a large animal (believe it was a rhino) fell over while playing and when it did the force squeezed a turd out of its anus.
[00:21:44] <Ethanol-fueled> Of course the easily amused audience including me was all "Haw huh huh huh huh huh"
[00:22:03] <Ethanol-fueled> Animals aren't dumb. The play to the crowd, even if that crowd isn't the same species.

[00:22:49] <CloudShark> ^ 03San Diego Zoo Safari Park |
[00:25:00] <SirFinkus> I've been to that place before
[00:25:19] <SirFinkus> someone stole my mom's purse
[00:25:29] <SirFinkus> they hit the jackpot too since she had a bunch of pain pills in it
[00:25:52] <Ethanol-fueled> Nice.
[00:26:25] <SirFinkus> we went to disneyland and universal studios too, but I hated all that shit
[00:26:26] <Ethanol-fueled> Well that sucks, but modern finance will give you the money back and the pharmacy will reload.

[00:26:34] <SirFinkus> it's like going to a mall or something
[00:26:44] <takyon_> the last mall
[00:26:45] <SirFinkus> it's all so fake and off putting
[00:27:01] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, it's cool when you're 8. If you're older than that, yeah, it's bullshit.
[00:28:07] <SirFinkus> the rides were fun I guess
[00:28:36] <Ethanol-fueled> I made the mistake of going to Disneyland a few years ago because I had a good time there high in high school
[00:28:45] <SirFinkus> the more traditional roller coasters and shit I mean
[00:28:49] <Ethanol-fueled> Total fucking mistake.
[00:28:57] <SirFinkus> pirates of the caribean can go fuck itself
[00:29:10] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, that's one of the better rides.
[00:29:11] <SirFinkus> I could see that being entertaining while high though
[00:29:15] <SirFinkus> meh
[00:29:24] <SirFinkus> I like soaring california
[00:29:26] <Ethanol-fueled> Space mountain, pirates, Indy jones
[00:29:45] <SirFinkus> I thought indy was at universal studios
[00:29:53] <Ethanol-fueled> Besides those everything else is "how do I crash this ride into the wall "
[00:30:01] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, indy is at disneyland
[00:30:06] <SirFinkus> universal studios was even lamer
[00:30:15] <Ethanol-fueled> You drive a "jeep" around on a rail

[00:31:07] * Subsentient hits Ethanol-fueled with the vomit pressure hose
[00:31:12] <takyon_> I think I've been on the Mummy ride
[00:31:25] <takyon_> it's crazy how long you have to wait in those lines for that shit
[00:31:28] <SirFinkus> the only good part about universal studios was the waterworld thing
[00:31:46] <SirFinkus> that was pretty badass
[00:32:04] <Ethanol-fueled> Subsentient - I don't give a fuck. None of them want to be associated with ME.
[00:32:20] <Ethanol-fueled> In wresting it's what's called a "reversal"
[00:32:50] <Subsentient> Ethanol-fueled: You're completely insane and so am I, so yeah, I got no issues there. :^D
[00:32:56] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, the rides are the worst because you realize they dedicate their talent to hiding the lines.
[00:33:16] <takyon_> https://news.artnet.com
[00:33:34] <takyon_> oh yeah. I vaguely recall what you're talking about, Ethanol-fueled
[00:33:39] <Ethanol-fueled> When they have to have secondary rides for your lines alone, then you know shit's gonna take a long time
[00:34:03] <Ethanol-fueled> Lines be lookin like microwave delay lines and trace power dividers and sheeit.
[00:34:06] <SirFinkus> I remember that being handled pretty well when I went there tbh
[00:34:25] <SirFinkus> just had those things where you could scan in and it'd tell you to come back in 15 minutes
[00:34:43] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, if you have a richfag pass or gimp pass, yeah
[00:34:58] <SirFinkus> naw, we didn't have any of that
[00:35:07] <SirFinkus> it doesn't make it any faster
[00:35:18] <SirFinkus> you can just go do other shit while you're waiting
[00:35:23] <Ethanol-fueled> Bullshit, there are always faster paths.
[00:35:24] <takyon_> disney**** did a thing where you reserve a spot in line and come back later
[00:35:27] <takyon_> which works well
[00:35:36] <SirFinkus> that's the one takyon_
[00:35:49] <Ethanol-fueled> For example, my buddy bought a budget motor scooter just to pretend to be handicapped
[00:36:02] <SirFinkus> it's a win win for them because you might buy more overpriced shit while you're waiting for the ride
[00:36:11] <SirFinkus> instead of standing in line buying nothing
[00:36:12] <takyon_> It'd be more like, come back in 45-60 minutes
[00:36:25] <Ethanol-fueled> You can't question it, because that would be politically incorrect...but his whole family would be jumped into the priority line.
[00:36:34] <takyon_> hahah
[00:36:36] <takyon_> wait
[00:36:37] <takyon_> !
[00:36:39] <takyon_> I got a better one!
[00:36:49] <takyon_> don't bother with the scooter... BRING A SERVICE ANIMAL
[00:36:51] <takyon_> A TURTLE
[00:37:08] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, there are only two lines. A gimp line and a non-gimp line.
[00:37:18] <takyon_> service animal = gimp line
[00:37:27] <takyon_> you can get a service animal for "distress"
[00:37:31] <Ethanol-fueled> Even the gimp line has to wait, but magnitudes of order less time.
[00:37:45] <takyon_> and nobody can say you can't bring it in, no matter if it is a goddamn turtle
[00:37:51] <Ethanol-fueled> Still a pretty lengthy wait during peak season
[00:37:52] <takyon_> then you can use it to pretend to be handicapped
[00:38:32] <SirFinkus> or in takyon_'s case, you can just show them your haircut and massive tongue
[00:38:36] <SirFinkus> and they'll let you right on
[00:42:06] <Ethanol-fueled> Fuck that shit.

[00:45:49] <Ethanol-fueled> It's a mansion, with bar and jacuzzi, smack-dab in the middle of an industrial area...and I haven't been there yet.
[00:52:09] <SirFinkus> even better than a bar
[00:52:15] <SirFinkus> bring your own drinks
[00:52:18] <SirFinkus> judging by the page
[00:52:57] <Ethanol-fueled> Fink, yes, but males pay and if you dont have game and arent bringing a girl, then you're a wallflower.
[00:53:38] <takyon_> do you have to swing if you go to thads
[00:53:45] <takyon_> i'm too drunk to read all dat rulez
[00:53:46] <Ethanol-fueled> If you're single, and you have game, then it's a fun challenge. You bring a girl and you can get away with anything.
[00:54:14] <Ethanol-fueled> takyon, No. You don't have to swing or be drunk.

[01:55:42] <takyon_> slippery when wet
[01:55:59] <AndyTheAbsurd> mecctro: that sounds especially sad. Can't you at least afford K-Y jelly?
[01:56:23] <mecctro> poverty doesn't afford me the luxury of lubricant.
[01:56:45] <AndyTheAbsurd> well shit
[01:56:51] <mecctro> it doesn't afford much of anything really
[01:56:59] <mecctro> lol
[01:57:09] <AndyTheAbsurd> I wish I had some money to donate towards the cause of easier masturbation
[01:57:50] <takyon_> >using lube
[01:57:54] <mecctro> It's a vigourous and necessary evil.
[01:57:57] <takyon_> >not using someone else's tears
[01:58:36] <mecctro> more masterbation in poor communities could mean less violent crime

[03:24:06] <takyon_> that shit is going to get deleted, although it is an interesting question
[03:24:10] <Runaway1956> Watch it now, someone will see that as defamatory
[03:24:29] <takyon_> I was listening to Diane Rehm the other day, and they were claiming some stuff about the alt-right that didn't ring true
[03:24:37] <Runaway1956> Is anthropollogy not a nerd interest
[03:24:46] <Runaway1956> this is anthropology after all
[03:24:49] <Runaway1956> the study of man
[03:25:00] <takyon_> you put the "lol" in anthropollllogy
[03:25:16] <Runaway1956> Hmmmmmm
[03:25:30] <mecctro> what a horrible article : "Now experts on extremism are contemplating whether the claim the alt-right has on establishment politics through its ride on Trump’s coattails also means a mainstreaming of anti-Semitism."
[03:25:42] <Runaway1956> Anyway - bottom line - Jews are approving of the alt-right
[03:26:00] <takyon_> "alt-right" is a pretty broad lavel
[03:26:04] <takyon_> *label
[03:26:31] <takyon_> you probably have some MRAs in there that just don't care about da jooz
[03:26:40] <Runaway1956> Yes it is, but it seems to boil down to anti-immigration and anti-coddle-the-losers
[03:27:09] <takyon_> that's the problem i had with the Diane Rehm guests
[03:27:14] <mecctro> anti-coddle is a big step away from anti-semitic
[03:27:18] <takyon_> two of them called the rest out on it tho

[03:30:35] <Runaway1956> Oh yeah, multithreading stuff on multi-core processors
[03:30:42] <takyon_> should be stable now. when it rolled out to dev builds it was insanely unstable
[03:31:07] <Runaway1956> Yeah, I did an alpha build of it early on - crazy shite
[03:31:44] <takyon_> i use the firefox build with the blue icon
[03:31:55] <takyon_> it's not canary, but dev, I believe

[03:35:18] <Runaway1956> yeah, I think soylent beats out vegans
[03:35:22] <takyon_> so you have already experienced e10s
[03:36:04] <Runaway1956> Yeah, it's growing more stable. Needs work still
[03:36:23] <Runaway1956> This is an area where Chrome has a major lead
[03:36:35] <takyon_> I think it was fine months ago (dev edition). it was just the first week when it had the spinning circle and would do fucking nothing
[03:37:28] <Runaway1956> Well, addons. Being the mother of all those children, Firefox should be capable of muli-threading all of it's children
[03:37:56] <takyon_> I'm all up on Chrome, and I noticed that Vivaldi added compatability with Chrome extensions
[03:38:03] <Runaway1956> "You play in these two sandboxes, Junior, and I'll put your sister in these other two."
[03:38:20] * Runaway1956 hasn't done much with vivaldi
[03:38:20] <takyon_> kinda weird that Firefox can't handle multiprocess and its old extensions at the same time. seems fukt

[03:40:09] <Runaway1956> Firefox is OK despite all it's shorcomings
[03:40:21] <takyon_> I use Firefox primarily for YouTube
[03:40:21] <Runaway1956> What burns me up is all the bullshit with Windows10
[03:40:45] <takyon_> and now the new Intel and AMD chips won't "support" older Windows apparently
[03:40:46] <Runaway1956> every time I read another Win10 article, I want to start polishing weapons
[03:41:16] <takyon_> when I get a Zen laptop I'll probably dual boot
[03:42:16] <Runaway1956> People are so gullible, and I've kinda proved it to myself again at work
[03:42:29] <takyon_> how so
[03:42:34] <mythterj> Runaway1956: Its not the chips that won't support older OSes, its the drivers.
[03:42:45] <Runaway1956> Months ago, I bought a tactical Cree flashlight - got a "bargain" two for $25
[03:43:06] <mythterj> And Linux has its own drivers for those perefferials that matter.
[03:43:10] <Runaway1956> someone like it, asked what I paid for it, and we miscommunicated, he thought I paid $25 each
[03:43:12] <takyon_> i have something like that. has a point on it to break windows (lol)
[03:43:23] <Runaway1956> so he offers me $25 for a flashlight, and I took it
[03:43:29] <takyon_> awesome
[03:43:42] <Runaway1956> I have something of a business going now, I buy flashlights for about $8
[03:43:43] <takyon_> to be fair that seems within the realm of reason
[03:43:47] <Runaway1956> sell them for $25
[03:43:57] <takyon_> flashlight prices are all over the place depending on lumen output and other factors
[03:44:27] <takyon_> you can get those flashlights that will blind mofos
[03:44:32] <Runaway1956> Yeah, but ANYONE can go on the internet, search for that flashlight, and find them for ~$10

[03:46:33] <takyon_> i don't like ebay though because I don't want to touch paypal
[03:46:47] <Runaway1956> It is a lot, but when you need light, that sapsucker is beautiful
[03:47:12] <Runaway1956> I carried a Mini Mag Lite Pro for years - this is vastly better
[03:48:13] <Runaway1956> The only thing I don't like is the "tactical" bullshit - I don't really need a sharp edged pointy front to the damned flashlight
[03:48:44] <takyon_> yeah but it's just a thing that's gonna be there
[03:48:52] <takyon_> like putting a bottle opener on fucking everything
[03:49:13] <takyon_> but I do wonder how many of the mofos with a "tactical flashlight" have ever broken a window with one
[03:49:27] <Runaway1956> I suppose I'm safe from being raped by nubile female college students when I'm carrying this "tactical" flashlight
[03:49:30] <takyon_> is the point to get them proliferated so much that if you ever drive into a lake, you can use it to break the window???

[04:14:05] <takyon_> I might make some chicken and rice to go with hummus
[04:14:07] <Runaway1956> middle of the night - cook your own, eat some shit fastfood crap from a convenience store, or do without
[04:14:34] <Runaway1956> Hummus - only WalMart carries it
[04:14:39] <Runaway1956> and I hate WalMart
[04:14:50] <takyon_> I make it
[04:15:01] <takyon_> it's tons cheaper to make it
[04:15:05] * Runaway1956 has never attempted to make his own hummus
[04:15:27] <takyon_> all you need is garbanzo beans, olive oil, tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice. then add some spices
[04:15:38] <takyon_> you can skip the tahini in some recipes probably
[04:15:51] <Runaway1956> start with garlic, and it's got to be good

[04:18:58] <MDC> I do better when I go out in public
[04:20:29] <Runaway1956> Think I'll go destroy some spaceships.
[04:20:41] <MDC> Sounds like a plan
[04:20:56] <Runaway1956> Homeworld 2, or maybe try to install Homeworld Cataclysm on the Windows machine
[04:21:22] <MDC> I used to really be into gaming, but not for many years. Don't know why.
[04:21:44] <Runaway1956> I can't call myself a "gamer" - I just have a few games that I like
[04:21:54] <MDC> I used to drop my entire full serve gas station attendant paycheck into Qix
[04:22:00] <Runaway1956> the Homeworld games stand apart from most
[04:22:16] <takyon_> i've been "playing" SpaceEngine
[04:25:32] <MDC> I need to eat more vegetables. What can I make out of vegetables that is tasty and filling?
[04:31:35] <takyon_> curry
[04:31:59] <takyon_> zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, onion, etc. with spices and a liquid (coconut milk or yogurt)
[04:32:37] <takyon_> you can make yogurt yourself if you have milk. it's better if you have a good digital oven that can heat things down to like... 170 F or whatever it is
[04:33:23] <takyon_> you can throw garbanzo beans, peas, or lentils in there too
[04:33:32] <takyon_> still with us, MDC?
[04:33:56] <MDC> just came back
[04:34:14] <MDC> yeah curried vegetables would be good. I actually have some curry paste
[04:34:41] <MDC> I like lentils
[04:35:04] <takyon_> curry keeps pretty well in the fridge, can be frozen, and it's a good thing to put on cheap rice
[04:35:09] <MDC> I just got my september food stamps, will go grocery shopping soon.
[04:36:03] <MDC> can I make curry with yogurt instead of coconut milk?
[04:36:17] <MDC> I like coconut milk but it has lots of fat
[04:36:43] <takyon_> I just said you can make it out of yogurt, and make yogurt from milk
[04:36:50] <MDC> cool
[04:36:54] <MDC> I like yogurt
[04:37:11] <MDC> I actually prefer the unflavored kind.
[04:37:14] <takyon_> the thicker the better. greek yogurt preferred, or if you make it yourself, might want to stick it in a strainer
[04:37:21] <takyon_> that's obviously what you need to use for curry
[04:37:25] <takyon_> unflavored

[04:43:21] <MDC> I need to decide whether to sell my software product from my own site, or have some other site sell it, like digital river if they're still around
[04:43:43] <MDC> If I sell it myself then I'll get some inlinks but then I'd have to write an eCommerce app
[04:43:47] <MDC> Never done that before
[04:44:07] <takyon_> you're decades late to be selling software from personal sites
[04:44:16] <takyon_> that's a step up from floppies
[04:44:18] <MDC> heh.
[04:44:33] <MDC> Apple gets all the inlinks. They know from SEO.
[04:47:30] <SirFinkus> probably depends on how specialized it is takyon_
[04:49:45] <MDC> this is intended for a very narrow, but populous market
[04:49:58] <MDC> Most of them technically savvy
[04:50:09] <takyon_> well I won't tell you how to do your (marketing) job
[04:50:51] <MDC> is it hard to write an eCommerce app? It would have one product, but different versions for different platforms
[04:51:05] <MDC> I have a django book and kinda sorta know python
[04:51:18] <takyon_> don't those already exist for free
[04:51:32] <MDC> I expect so I should look around
[04:51:32] <takyon_> plus if you make one security mistake, users get hacked
[04:52:02] <MDC> that's a good reason to have someone else sell it
[04:52:22] <MDC> If I sold it myself I'd have to tend to it. That would be a huge PITA
[04:53:30] <MDC> Can one sell command-line programs on the Mac App Store?
[04:53:49] <MDC> I could write a GUI but this really is suited for command-line
[04:54:05] <takyon_> just make a GUI that opens a command line
[04:54:13] <takyon_> just one button in a 100x100 window
[04:54:44] <takyon_> with the text "CMD"
[04:54:53] <MDC> heh.
[04:55:08] <MDC> I could make a pleasant GUI, I'm good at that.
[04:55:27] <MDC> I'm just not sure I should. Maybe it's better to encourage the command-line
[04:56:46] <MDC> I have a friend who makes paper flowers out of napkins. They're quite exquisite
[04:56:54] <MDC> He loves his work, he's been doing it for years

[05:05:54] <mecctro> malloc_free is crushing the charts...
[05:06:34] <MDC> If you allocate lots of small objects, a custom allocator may help

[05:06:58] <MDC> small objects of the same size, rather
[05:07:31] <mecctro> Sorry for the confusion, though, that was pretty unintentionally funny: There is a guy doing folding @ home, named malloc_free
[05:07:45] <MDC> ha!
[05:07:54] <mecctro> lmao
[05:08:05] <mecctro> good advice though!
[05:08:14] <MDC> I have a Xeon box with 16 GB of FB-DIMM memory but not sure I want to pay for all its electricity
[05:08:20] <mecctro> I do something similar with buffers in go
[05:08:29] <takyon_> how many cores is the xeon
[05:08:42] <MDC> 4, but there is a socket for a second CPU
[05:09:04] <MDC> I overengineered the machine, all I really use it for is storage
[05:09:16] <takyon_> at some point I think Intel's prices on quad-core Xeons undercut Core i7
[05:09:26] <takyon_> not sure
[05:09:44] <mecctro> they might now, I haven't really been in the market for xeons in some years.
[05:09:58] <MDC> I think it's an e5400. Those can be had really cheap, I don't think they're made anymore

[07:40:37] <SirFinkus> well, that's new
[07:40:45] <SirFinkus> now I'm going deaf apparently
[07:41:05] <SirFinkus> everything below the neck is 100% ok
[07:41:15] <SirFinkus> but the head is fucked
[07:41:28] <SirFinkus> at least I don't have a headache
[07:57:58] <mecctro> Don't think I'd enjoy my head going to pieces
[08:02:24] <SirFinkus> I'm considering amputation
[08:02:48] <mecctro> any particular method?
[08:07:50] <Runaway1956> There is always the guillotine method - fast, relatively painless, and not even very messy.
[08:08:40] <Runaway1956> Most other methods are awfully messy, and just piss off the janitors and sanitation workers.
[08:09:15] <mecctro> Well, if we're talking utility, why not a good ol furnace?
[08:09:35] <mecctro> bit o' morphine, burned to ash.
[08:09:36] <Runaway1956> Furnaces and amputation?
[08:10:02] <Runaway1956> I thought sirfinkus wanted to keep the rest of his body - for posterity or something
[08:10:08] <mecctro> ah
[08:10:16] <Runaway1956> or science
[08:10:20] <mecctro> in that event, there are laz0rz.
[08:11:07] <Runaway1956> I'd have a hard time locating a powerful enough laser on short notice, but yeah, it's probably quick, painless, and mess-free
[08:11:58] <mecctro> would help with preventing infection, for whats left of the skull / neck area.
[08:12:38] <Runaway1956> We really should find out sirfinkus preferences - maybe he likes pain, so guillotines and lasers may be out.
[08:12:54] <SirFinkus> I just want the head gone
[08:12:59] <mecctro> Ah, then maybe a saw, or rusty axe.
[08:13:01] <Runaway1956> I have a dull hatchet that he could borrow
[08:13:15] <SirFinkus> was thinking of finding a train
[08:13:24] <mecctro> I have a spoon, does that work?
[08:13:34] <Runaway1956> Trains - yes -
[08:13:46] <Runaway1956> spread the goo over two miles of track, and no one notices
[08:14:13] <Runaway1956> Reminds me of a song - poor poor pitiful me
[08:14:20] <Runaway1956> something about a boy from Yokohama
[08:14:48] <Runaway1956> and "please don't hurt me mama"
[08:15:05] <mecctro> sounds like a real hoot
[08:15:37] <mecctro> was there a river involved?

[08:18:46] <Runaway1956> I used to love that girl - then she did me wrong and grew old

[08:19:15] <mecctro> pretty selfish
[08:19:32] <mecctro> "how dare she get old"

[08:21:09] <mecctro> don't really listen to country
[08:22:32] <Runaway1956> Hmmm - I listen to just about any music I can relate to
[08:22:44] <Runaway1956> A lot of rock, you have to be a drug addict to relate
[08:23:06] <Runaway1956> rap, you gotta be a homie from the ghettos
[08:23:23] <Runaway1956> today's country is utter shite - people don't live the songs they write

[08:40:18] <SirFinkus> I've been down that rabbit hole
[08:40:32] <SirFinkus> then you find that it's from 2005 and tagged "won't fix"
[08:40:34] <Runaway1956> You're still chasing that stupid rabbit?
[08:40:50] <SirFinkus> it's that the article suggest you do when you find a problem
[08:40:50] <Runaway1956> Just take the blue pill, man
[08:40:54] <SirFinkus> google the line in the log

[08:43:06] <SirFinkus> standard linux bullshit
[08:43:24] <SirFinkus> the solution proposed is "CTL-ALT-F1
[08:43:24] <SirFinkus> CTL-ALT-F7"
[08:43:31] <SirFinkus> like, that kind of shit
[08:44:57] <SirFinkus> "I switched to Mac as well but it's not the applications that keep me from going back, it is the wifi and printer support. This is just so much better on a Mac than on Linux."
[08:45:13] <SirFinkus> "I hear this a lot, and I really don't understand it.

[08:51:49] <mecctro> kek
[08:54:29] <SirFinkus> yeah, it's "easy"
[08:54:35] <SirFinkus> but you just have to know this stuff
[08:55:03] <SirFinkus> oh, and there's a 75% chance that won't work based on my personal experience
[08:55:12] <SirFinkus> because the network card doesn't have drivers or some shit
[08:55:35] <mecctro> How's that different than any other OS? Because of distro-specific stuff, or lack of documentation, maybe user friendliness?
[08:56:03] <mecctro> drivers are an issue as well, sure.
[08:56:37] <SirFinkus> because my wireless card has never stopped working after an os update
[08:56:45] <SirFinkus> I mean, it's just one thing
[08:57:00] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Plastic-Based Textile Woven Into Clothing Can Make Wearer Feel 4°F Cooler Compared to Cotton - http://sylnt.us - sunlight-has-no-infrared,-right?
[08:57:16] <SirFinkus> but when I ran desktop linux (a few years ago now) almost full time, I'd be off to google troubleshooting some obscure issue at least twice a week
[08:57:48] <mecctro> That's one of the reason when I'm desktop Lin, I prefer to wait for updates, for a pretty long time.
[08:57:57] <SirFinkus> and of course shit like stuff installed from the package manager just plain not working
[08:58:13] <mecctro> that happens too, as well as dep hell.
[08:58:46] <mecctro> that's probably one of the more frustrating things if an update goes wonky, especially if you've never enountered it before.
[08:58:54] <SirFinkus> oh man, that bullshit
[08:59:19] <SirFinkus> bullshit program requires cuntlib 1.4.5
[08:59:29] <SirFinkus> but you have cuntlib 1.7.5
[08:59:34] <mecctro> trying to hit w.e. your package manager is, going through diff version in some cases, back to some thing, that worked with some other thing, so you can get that other thing working with the thing you want to run.
[08:59:34] <mecctro> lol
[08:59:36] <SirFinkus> which isn't compatible
[08:59:44] <mecctro> precisely
[08:59:57] <SirFinkus> like half the time I'd try to install something or get something working
[08:59:59] <mecctro> I find that happens MUCH for frequently with more frequent OS updates.
[09:00:22] <SirFinkus> and if you go outside the package manager, you're in for a world of shit
[09:00:28] <mecctro> depends on the distro, but Ubuntu is a pain in the ass for that, especially if you're runnning a bunch of experimental stuff.
[09:00:52] <SirFinkus> that shit won't work on me, I've been down the distro hopping rabbithole
[09:01:28] <mecctro> I really don't run anything for desktop posix than debian stable.
[09:01:47] <mecctro> sometimes anciant version as well
[09:02:05] <SirFinkus> what made me give up on desktop linux was vsync not working at all for several obscure reasons
[09:02:30] <SirFinkus> and the constant fucking around trying to get broken stuff to be non-broken
[09:02:40] <mecctro> Yea, I can't run linux for anything that's graphical in nature, there's all sorts of oddness, partiularly shoddy drivers.
[09:03:11] <mecctro> there is some hope with that, though, it's taking awhile...
[09:03:22] <SirFinkus> heard that a decade ago
[09:03:24] <SirFinkus> oh shit
[09:03:26] <SirFinkus> another thing
[09:03:29] <mecctro> indeed
[09:03:31] <SirFinkus> I installed a font once
[09:03:39] <SirFinkus> like, double clicked a .ttf or some shit
[09:03:44] <mecctro> lol
[09:03:50] <SirFinkus> and it decided to change my system font to that
[09:03:55] <SirFinkus> because that's what I wanted
[09:04:13] <mecctro> ok? lol
[09:04:34] <SirFinkus> yeah, that was a pain in the ass
[09:04:37] <mecctro> linux also has a lot of security issues.
[09:04:47] <SirFinkus> might actually have a screenshot
[09:05:00] <mecctro> especially because so many people misconfigure it.
[09:06:23] <SirFinkus> naw, deleted them all
[09:06:45] <SirFinkus> just random "huh?" moments all the time
[09:07:18] <mecctro> I think that happens with every OS at some point, but it can be particularly vexing sometimes.
[09:07:53] <SirFinkus> bullshit, I haven't had that extent of a problem with windows or osx
[09:08:15] <SirFinkus> windows 10 excluded of course
[09:08:34] <mecctro> windows plays nice when it's not fucked with, but it becomes "dated", osx is pretty damn stable, though.
[09:08:54] <SirFinkus> I haven't seen a bsod in years
[09:08:58] <mecctro> aka: needing to re-install win.
[09:09:04] <mecctro> because "x"
[09:09:17] <mecctro> which I think has more to do with user error, to be fair.
[09:09:28] <SirFinkus> it's pretty solid if you don't go around clicking all the ads on facebook
[09:09:45] <SirFinkus> windows has problems, but usually not the kinds of issues desktop linux has
[09:09:50] <SirFinkus> like LOL windows updates
[09:09:55] <mecctro> but windows is far more stable overall, particularly the driver support is miles better.
[09:09:59] <SirFinkus> I could write pages on them
[09:10:13] <mecctro> well, and of course, telemotry
[09:10:32] <SirFinkus> actually, I think linux driver support is technically better
[09:10:58] <mecctro> What I mean by support, is that the drivers have more man-hours.
[09:11:00] <SirFinkus> if you count led support on palm pilots from 1994
[09:11:38] <SirFinkus> just don't expect your wireless nic or new printer to work
[09:12:19] <mecctro> It all depends, but overall, "new" driver support (in terms of working, and not just generic drivers) typically bog for ages.
[09:12:52] <SirFinkus> I really wouldn't mind the driver support stuff at all if every distro I've tried wasn't completely fucked
[09:12:53] <mecctro> especially for obscure / shitty peripherals
[09:13:57] <mecctro> What distros have you tried?
[09:14:04] <mecctro> if I may ask.
[09:15:58] <SirFinkus> Ubuntu, Debian, Mandriva, Gentoo, Arch, Fedora, Red Hat, openSuse, linux Mint
[09:16:03] <SirFinkus> probably missing some
[09:16:07] <SirFinkus> oh, Sabayon
[09:16:28] <SirFinkus> as I said, been down that rabbit hole
[09:17:06] <mecctro> fair enough
[09:17:15] <SirFinkus> Debian was probably the least fucked, from a "random things happening" perspective
[09:17:26] -!- julian has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[09:17:37] <SirFinkus> but everything felt so ancient
[09:17:45] <mecctro> There are some issues there, I just like that they don't shove updates down your throat because "new features"
[09:18:23] <mecctro> I think part of the issue is that so much requires console
[09:18:47] <mecctro> for a desktop OS, that can be annoying.
[09:18:53] <mecctro> especially a daily-driver.
[09:18:55] <SirFinkus> I think the main problem is the whole volunteer developer thing
[09:19:08] <mecctro> that's a big chunk.
[09:19:20] <SirFinkus> people just want to work on new features, not a lot of people want to go around fixing bugs in other people's features
[09:19:30] -!- julian [julian!~julian@63-39-039-73.dhcp.snlo.ca.charter.com] has joined #Soylent
[09:19:31] <mecctro> There are some corporate efforts, but a ton of them are half-baked, looking for free development.
[09:19:45] <mecctro> that's a big one too.
[09:20:04] <SirFinkus> there are exceptions, but it seems like most of the people who like doing that kind of stuff are into kernel development or crypto shit
[09:20:15] <mecctro> that's why I don't really love the "trendier" Ubuntu / Ubuntu likes.
[09:20:15] <SirFinkus> not normal "end user" stuff
[09:20:31] <SirFinkus> I ended up using Ubuntu the most
[09:21:18] <SirFinkus> I think they were the last best hope for an actually usable desktop linux
[09:21:21] <mecctro> Ubuntu is ok, from a graphical perspective they seem to be helping that along.
[09:21:35] <SirFinkus> but I don't think they have the resources
[09:21:45] <SirFinkus> and too much politics
[09:21:57] <mecctro> I think the politics is another thing that drove me off.
[09:22:14] <mecctro> over sort-of pointless shit no-less
[09:22:15] <SirFinkus> I don't really give a shit about politics as long as the damn thing works
[09:22:29] <mecctro> I have a cleaner distro I'm kind of working on for my own use.
[09:23:29] <SirFinkus> but then when a distro changes something, people turn it into a holy war
[09:23:39] <SirFinkus> like the (shitty) gnome changes
[09:23:50] <mecctro> indeed, I completely agree with that.
[09:23:54] <SirFinkus> it seems like every time something like that happens, you get 4-5 different groups
[09:23:59] <mecctro> thankfully, going back is easy (if you know how)
[09:24:00] <SirFinkus> one stays on the old version
[09:24:10] <SirFinkus> another upgrades to the new on
[09:24:20] <mecctro> couple spin-offs / etc
[09:24:23] <mecctro> yup
[09:24:25] <SirFinkus> a third group decides to make their OWN desktop environment
[09:24:27] <SirFinkus> etc etc
[09:24:40] <mecctro> a lot of divergance
[09:24:48] <mecctro> probably the biggest issue.
[09:24:50] <SirFinkus> and then another group concentrates on theming the new thing to look like the old thing
[09:25:00] <SirFinkus> and then it's compatibility layers all the way down
[09:25:38] <mecctro> well, that's sweet and sour.
[09:25:57] <mecctro> mostly it just sucks the life out of projects.
[09:26:11] <mecctro> splitting all those man-hours building the same things.
[09:26:17] <SirFinkus> and adds complexity
[09:26:32] <Booga1> Reinvent the wheel, over and over. I see it at work all the time.
[09:26:38] <mecctro> indeed, especially when some individuals prefer a certain style or way of doing things than another.
[09:27:05] <mecctro> then shit looks like noodles
[09:27:17] <mecctro> rips in the way everything works.
[09:28:14] <mecctro> I like posix / unix for specific services
[09:28:26] <mecctro> where something can run for years, and not need an update.
[09:28:42] <mecctro> build it once, build it right.
[09:29:07] <mecctro> either that or throw-away boxes sometimes, basically just services.
[09:29:21] <Booga1> Heh. Ain't nothing build once at my workplace.
[09:29:23] <mecctro> but for desktop, there's a lot of magic missing.
[09:29:32] <Booga1> "Do it again." is the order of the day.
[09:29:41] <SirFinkus> oh, and fucking
[09:29:50] <SirFinkus> if I have to go to the command line
[09:29:59] <SirFinkus> and add some "non-free" repo to play mp3s
[09:30:01] <SirFinkus> fuck you
[09:30:18] <mecctro> haha, yea, thats a pain, all the licensing weirdness
[09:30:34] <mecctro> mp4 ;)
[09:30:42] <Booga1> It's been ages. Isn't mp3 out of patent by now?
[09:31:00] <SirFinkus> wasn't there a big fuss because some distro decided to straight up roll zfs in?
[09:31:03] <SirFinkus> recently?
[09:31:08] <mecctro> mp3 is a horrible format anyways lol
[09:31:25] <Booga1> mp3 was the best you could get in the 90's.
[09:31:26] <mecctro> if not, they were at least talking about it finkus.
[09:31:37] <SirFinkus> a horrible format which is pretty damn universal
[09:32:11] <Booga1> It won over everything else because quality was acceptable for the size when size mattered most.
[09:32:41] <mecctro> There really wasn't a hell of a lot of other competition either, not that early.
[09:32:48] <mecctro> aac?
[09:32:52] * mecctro vomits
[09:33:05] <SirFinkus> really though, the size differences are pretty negligible at this point
[09:33:09] <Booga1> To be honest, in my car, I can't benefit much from higher quality codecs anyway. Too much road noise.
[09:33:15] <SirFinkus> unless you have millions of the things
[09:33:40] <Booga1> I'd rather have ten albums on my CD than five.
[09:33:41] <mecctro> what's wrong with ogg?
[09:33:52] <SirFinkus> nobody uses it?
[09:33:59] -!- crutchy_ [crutchy_!~crutchy@709-27-2-01.cust.aussiebb.net] has joined #Soylent
[09:34:02] <mecctro> a lot certainly do.
[09:34:05] <Booga1> Ogg's fine, but my car stereo doesn't recognize it. Only mp3 CDs.
[09:34:11] <SirFinkus> the size different isn't that drastic Booga1
[09:34:18] <SirFinkus> I think it's like 5-10% maybe
[09:34:22] <SirFinkus> been a while since I looked
[09:34:48] <Booga1> Sure, but that took over ten years to be available and if your equipment doesn't support Ogg, it doesn't matter much.
[09:34:49] <mecctro> ogg is lossless, and smaller, in most cases.
[09:35:05] <SirFinkus> ogg isn't lossless, or it isn't usually
[09:35:15] <SirFinkus> certainly not the smaller files
[09:35:54] <mecctro> ogg/flac is lossless
[09:36:08] <mecctro> ogg/vorbis would be more common
[09:36:39] <SirFinkus> oh, guess it's just a container
[09:36:43] <mecctro> it's similar in the distinction to which "avi" works, where it's a container format that can be compressed in numerous ways.
[09:36:46] * SirFinkus has never seen an ogg/flac file
[09:37:03] <mecctro> sorry, "encoded"
[09:37:04] -!- crutchy has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[09:37:20] <SirFinkus> but you aren't going to get huge differences with lossless file sizes, assuming they are compressed
[09:37:47] <Booga1> If I really wanted to beef up my car stereo, I'd plug my Raspberry Pi with my whole music collection into it and rig up a touch screen. Way cheaper than ripping out the whole stereo and it might make a fun project.
[09:37:49] <mecctro> there's also ogg:theora, for video
[09:37:57] <mecctro> lossless does run bigger in size
[09:38:27] <mecctro> considerably in some cases
[09:39:15] <SirFinkus> lmao https://www.winxdvd.com
[09:39:48] <mecctro> which is why mp3 just destroyed it
[09:39:55] <mecctro> plus the quality was better
[09:40:10] <mecctro> well, perceptable quality.
[09:40:29] <SirFinkus> no, I think their chart is retarded
[09:40:48] <SirFinkus> if they're using CBR, all the file sizes should be the same
[09:40:50] <mecctro> it's a bit wonky, I think.
[09:40:54] <Booga1> The chart looks broken.
[09:40:54] <mecctro> right
[09:41:11] <SirFinkus> it's actually retarded
[09:41:14] <mecctro> lmao
[09:42:13] <mecctro> aac also has better container support
[09:42:21] <mecctro> mp3 is an island
[09:42:26] <mecctro> that's all I'm sayin.
[09:43:12] <SirFinkus> all these charts are pretty supid

[09:43:17] <Booga1> I'm not worried about container support. All I care about is, can I listen to it on all the devices I want to.
[09:43:37] <Booga1> My computer handles everything, but my car only understands MP3.
[09:43:42] <mecctro> right, what I'm saying is, aac is probably supported on all your devices, in mp4 format
[09:44:15] <SirFinkus> but this doesn't mean I can install opensuse and play podcasts unless I do some bullshit with yast
[09:44:18] <mecctro> wtf kind of chart is that? lmao
[09:44:34] <SirFinkus> as you can see, "quality" increases with bitrate
[09:45:05] <mecctro> w.e. the fuck that is.
[09:45:13] <Booga1> Machi! Bark bark!
[09:45:21] <mecctro> what I hear? how it decodes? huh?
[09:45:30] <mecctro> "quality"
[09:45:33] <SirFinkus> oh, fun fact about MP3, podcasts are always released in CBR because seeking support on VBR mp3s on longer files can drift
[09:45:59] <mecctro> nifty indeed
[09:46:15] <mecctro> how's that work?
[09:46:33] <SirFinkus> forgot the specifics, but I was reading about it the other day
[09:47:06] <SirFinkus> apparently you'd have to read the entire file to get proper seeking
[09:47:09] <Booga1> SirFinkus: Not just that, but I fucked up a high bitrate encoding of VBR MP3 files ages ago and only found out that the left channel got 90% of the data. The right channel got almost nothing. Such a waste of time. :P
[09:47:18] <mecctro> I remember reading something about it ages ago, but I don't really use mp3 much anymore.
[09:48:05] <SirFinkus> https://marco.org
[09:48:05] <CloudShark> ^ 03Why dont podcasts use VBR MP3s? Because iOS and macOS dont accurately seek them – Marco.org
[09:48:32] <SirFinkus> oh, of course
[09:48:33] <mecctro> oic
[09:48:35] <SirFinkus> 3 different standards
[09:48:42] <mecctro> not surprised
[09:48:45] <SirFinkus> because why the fuck not
[09:48:53] <mecctro> just use ogg man
[09:49:54] <mecctro> "The Ogg container is primarily a streaming format, encapsulating chronological, time-linear mixed media into a single delivery stream or file. The design is such that an application can always encode and/or decode all features of a bitstream in one pass with no seeking and minimal buffering. Seeking to provide optimized encoding (such as two-pass encoding) or interactive decoding (such as scrubbing or instant replay) is not
[09:49:54] <mecctro> disallowed or discouraged, however no container feature requires nonlinear access of the bitstream."
[09:51:37] <mecctro> https://xiph.org
[09:51:38] <CloudShark> ^ 03Ogg Documentation
[09:51:54] <mecctro> interesting look at how it works.
[09:53:05] <mecctro> especially how it handles seeking.

[22:23:59] <aliasd> and hi
[22:29:38] <SirFinkus> lo
[22:30:58] <aliasd> sorry i should be better with knowing where slash keeps it's rss
[22:31:29] <SirFinkus> took me a sec too
[22:31:39] <aliasd> i actually don't find as many slash sites as i think i should
[22:31:43] <SirFinkus> the link is at the very bottom of the home page
[22:31:53] <SirFinkus> the codebase is a mess
[22:31:54] <aliasd> ah :)
[22:32:07] <SirFinkus> took a ton of work to get the damn thing running
[22:32:13] <aliasd> arg
[22:32:14] <aliasd> wow
[22:32:17] <aliasd> but
[22:32:27] <aliasd> it's been rewritten and rewritten

[22:33:46] <SirFinkus> I don't know all the hairy details, but it started out running on an ancient version of apache and no unicode support
[22:33:48] <SirFinkus> and plenty of bugs
[22:35:07] <aliasd> they don't want us to be too social :)
[22:35:23] <aliasd> even an irc server is much more work than it should be
[22:36:04] <aliasd> the platform at indywatch.org is in-house
[22:36:12] <aliasd> because nothing else would work
[22:36:42] <aliasd> but then you have to build this giant thing ground-up
[22:37:35] <aliasd> still maybe 6-12 months until people can comment on articles

[22:42:37] <aliasd> well, thanks for helping make slash actually work SirFinkus
[22:42:51] <SirFinkus> well, I didn't do shit
[22:42:51] <aliasd> heh
[22:43:01] <SirFinkus> I just lurked in irc, and started the f@h team
[22:43:07] <aliasd> heh well at least thanks for making me aware
[22:43:43] <SirFinkus> I have been around since basically the beginning
[22:44:37] <aliasd> which was?
[22:44:44] <aliasd> where does this begin?
[22:44:50] <aliasd> was it on a c64?
[22:45:03] <aliasd> did you have to dial germany to get the bb pass?
[22:45:21] <SirFinkus> much more mundane than that
[22:45:32] <SirFinkus> back when /. was forcing the beta on everybody
[22:45:36] <aliasd> ah
[22:45:47] <aliasd> right
[22:45:54] <aliasd> the fork was fairly old
[22:48:12] <aliasd> so this is a rebel slashdot?
[22:48:13] <aliasd> hehe
[22:48:22] <aliasd> awesome
[22:49:17] <SirFinkus> basically
[22:49:27] <SirFinkus> pipedot was started around the same time
[22:50:10] <aliasd> haha indywatch has 50,000 users
[22:50:18] <aliasd> i could actually perform a slashdotting
[22:50:36] <aliasd> on slashdot
[22:50:41] <aliasd> (rebel)
[22:50:54] <aliasd> this is deliciously nerdy
[22:51:23] <aliasd> but
[22:51:30] <aliasd> actually
[22:51:42] <aliasd> indywatch users are probably all crackheads
[22:51:43] <aliasd> i won't do it
[22:52:18] <SirFinkus> we're all just alcoholics here
[22:52:24] <aliasd> seriously tho, it would be interesting to see what that community would be like
[22:52:34] <SirFinkus> so no worries

[23:01:05] <aliasd> the tech ones?
[23:01:27] <SirFinkus> naw, indywatch
[23:01:35] <aliasd> it's inclusive
[23:01:43] <aliasd> so all kinds of stuff will be there
[23:02:46] <aliasd> as long as it's not inciting violence or backed by big interests, it's meant to be ok
[23:03:01] <aliasd> of course in reality sources aren't quite with that ideal
[23:03:08] <aliasd> but it's getting better
