[15:11:40] <Runaway1956_> Yes!
[15:11:29] <boru> Is that a question or a statement?
[15:11:09] <Runaway1956_> We're a simple people, we use simple English?
[15:04:21] <boru> I have come across many such cases in simplified English.

[11:19:43] <Bytram> IPS (in-plane switching) is a screen technology for liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). It was designed to solve the main limitations of the twisted nematic field effect (TN) matrix LCDs which were prevalent in the late 1980s. These limitations included strong viewing angle dependence and low-quality color reproduction. In-plane switching involves arranging and switching the orientation of the molecules of the liquid crystal (LC) layer

[09:01:42] <boru> Like every other meme technology these days, blockchain is just a rehashed old idea.
[09:00:11] <boru> So, I took a stab at decentralising and securing communications using obsfuscated protocols.
[08:59:35] <boru> It was around the time people were starting to take 'dark' nets seriously as a mechanism for circumventing the advent of 'Net censorship.
