[04:16:44] <chromas> OMG They're vaccinating urine now!
[04:17:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> i heard that. i prefer my urine live an organic lifestyle though, which is why i release it onto trees whenever possible.

[08:51:50] <chromas> Speaking of Winamp, AIMP is pretty good if you're on Windows or Android and prefer closed-source freeware
[08:54:46] <boru> I use aimp on my phone.
[08:55:06] <boru> I used to use morteplayer but recent builds don't seem to work anymore.
[08:55:13] <boru> And morte was FOSS.
[08:55:51] <boru> Or perhaps it was a problem with FLAC playback, I don't recall.
[08:56:10] <chromas> I remember that one. Been using DDB2 on android recently. It's the continuation of the deprecated Deadbeef for android
[08:57:05] <chromas> (although it shared the name and icon with the linux player, I never checked it it was 'official' or anything)
[08:57:38] <boru> Oh, wait, no, I was thinking of deadbeef, actually.
[08:57:48] <boru> I think I used morteplayer some time ago before that.
[08:59:10] <chromas> I want one that works like Juk. Show me a giant list of all my musics that I can filter
[09:00:10] <boru> I want one that will support NFS.
[09:06:48] <chromas> https://gist.github.com
[09:07:10] * chromas doesn't have an nfs server to test it on
[09:10:23] <boru> I could just use busybox, I don't need a script for it.
[09:11:19] <chromas> Sure but with a script, you can make an icon to finger
[09:12:04] <boru> To be honest, I was only being half serious. Android is a mess, and I try to use it as little as possible.
[09:12:21] <boru> I wouldn't even have this feckin phone if I could get away with it.
[09:14:12] <chromas> Maybe you can install slack on it
[09:14:28] <chromas> just need a kernel compatible with your drivers maybe
[09:14:32] <chromas> or something
[09:15:25] <boru> I don't have the cycles for such an endeavour at the moment.
[09:15:44] <boru> I'm busy fixing FreeBSD on arm64 stuff on the few spare minutes I get per week with work at the moment.
[09:16:06] <boru> GELI and ZFS seem to be broken at top of tree, so I need to debug and submit a patch for it.
[09:16:30] <boru> The arm64 guys are snowed under, so I figure I'd give them a dig out.
[09:17:13] <boru> Plus, with that fixed, I can resurrect my IRC and NNTP servers on arm64, which would be neat.
[09:18:15] <chromas> I bet BTRFS would just build without problems :D
[09:18:28] <boru> On BSD?
[09:19:11] <boru> RAID-Z3 and GELI would be optimal for me, but the arm64 box I got has only two SATA ports, alas.
[09:20:10] <chromas> How's BSD for the desktop?
[09:20:38] <chromas> like graphics driver and kde support
[09:20:44] <chromas> pulseaudio :D :D
[09:21:03] <boru> Lappy hw support is spotty, but desktop, I haven't really had any major problems in ~20 odd years.
[09:21:17] <boru> More, even.
[09:21:39] <boru> Nvidia officially support FreeBSD.
[09:22:12] <boru> KDE should be fine. NFI about pulseaudio, but there _is_ a port.
[09:26:21] <chromas> Hm, Linux is getting too mainstream. Maybe I should switch
[09:26:36] <boru> Sounds like a bad reason to switch.
[09:27:36] <boru> FreeBSD has made some silly design decisions over the years, but I think they've learned their lesson for the most part.
[09:28:38] * chromas grows a soybeard and puts on an unbuttoned flannel shirt over an ironic tee shirt
[09:29:12] <chromas> "I hated Linux before it was cool, man"
[09:29:50] <boru> Wtf is a soybeard?
[09:35:16] <chromas> I imagined what a hipster who can't grow a beard might look like. Image search returns photos of gays with beards though
[09:36:11] <chromas> I'm beardologically challenged so it's okay to use that word
[09:36:47] <chromas> It's probably why I don't like C/++'s lack of modules
[09:39:50] <boru> What's that slash in there?
[09:40:02] <boru> Oh, lack of, right.
[09:40:47] <boru> I actually just learned about C++ modules the other day. Someone mentioned them on another 'Net. I haven't used C++ since C++98 or C++03, so I missed out on the colossal mess it is now.
[09:41:01] <boru> And thankfully, I haven't had to read or write C++ since there.
[09:43:21] <chromas> Yeah, it's finally trying to catch up to the '70s, and I think Microsoft's the first one with full, working module support.

[14:00:46] <cmn32480> yick... agreed
[14:01:19] <cmn32480> but back in January, we got a NewFoundland puppy
[14:01:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> ha! good thing you got it young so Blow has a chance to get his bluff in as top critter.
[14:02:04] <cmn32480> https://imgur.com
[14:02:07] <cmn32480> yes
[14:02:36] <cmn32480> he's trying.. but she outweighs him by a factor of 2 currently, and when fuill grown it will likely be a factor of 5
[14:02:45] <cmn32480> that si the week we got her.
[14:02:51] <cmn32480> now, she is a fair bit bigger
[14:04:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's going to be entertaining when she's about 800lbs and Blow's glaring her out of the way of the water dish, taking one slurp, then strolling off.
[14:04:36] <cmn32480> yup
[14:04:42] <cmn32480> we are looking forward to it
[14:04:55] <cmn32480> he's about 20lbs... she's about 40 currently
[14:05:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'fine, as long as blow gets annoyed at some point and introduces a huge wet nose to his claws.
[14:06:46] <cmn32480> he has swatted the crap out of her.. but surprisingly no claws that have broken skin yet

[14:09:54] <cmn32480> nice
[14:10:43] <cmn32480> so far she is being really good and just laying on the floor behind me
[14:10:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> she's not really a "cat lady" though. she's not quite old enough and has a live-in boy-toy.

[23:07:55] <FatPhil> Do we have any Soylentils in Toronto?
[23:17:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't think so but we can ship chromas there if you like. i'll have to use dirty socks as packing material though because we used up the last of the styrofoam peanuts over christmas.
[23:17:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> and i'm expensing new socks.

[23:22:02] <FatPhil> I don't suppose there are any Soylentils in Rio, then?

[23:27:30] <FatPhil> The A Clockwork Orange soundtrack was written by Walter Carlos, end of story. But that's a "dead name", so I'm satan.
[23:28:09] <chromas> Why, is he transgender now?
[23:30:14] <chromas> Ya know, that gives HeForShe a whole different meaning
[23:31:18] <FatPhil> He's been Wendy for quite a long time.
[23:32:00] <chromas> bigot
[23:33:22] <FatPhil> But when I bought the LP, it was Walter. And when Kubric ran the titles on the movie, it was Walter.
[23:33:37] <chromas> Obviously, she's been a woman the whole time but just didn't know it or why she felt uncomfortable her whole life. Legal name changes are retroactive just like feelings
[23:34:08] <chromas> Kubric should re-release the movie with updated credits
[23:34:34] <FatPhil> Funnily enough, he was always a fairly effeminate male, so it's easy to believe he's one of the outliers for which the gender binary doesn't apply.
[23:34:50] <FatPhil> Now you used a dead name!
[23:34:56] <FatPhil> OK, the name of a dead person
[23:37:27] <chromas> Being effeminate is related to sex and is biological. Gender is a social construct that you're born with until the doctor misgenders you at birth.
[23:38:50] <FatPhil> Gender has been reframed as a social construct. They kinda gutted the word. I think it actually used to mean something, but now it's utterly meaningless.
[23:39:18] <FatPhil> It used to mean "sex, but without mentioning any naughty words"
[23:39:38] <chromas> What about grammatical gender? We should ban French.
[23:55:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, english is a social construct so i can say whatever i like.
[23:56:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> and MY statement has the benefit of actually being an indisputable fact.
[23:57:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> but facts are *-ist and *-phobic, so i lose.
