[06:34:16] <chromas> ooh I found an AndyTheAbsurd comment on the reddit
[06:34:34] <chromas> it's too old to upvote though. dildos modded it down
[06:35:23] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Federal Judge Rules FBI Terrorism Watchlist Unconstitutional - http://sylnt.us - Watching-the-watchers
[06:36:43] <Sulla> those bastards
[06:37:05] <chromas> Agreed
[06:37:34] <chromas> I was looking for extensions/info on the google amp visibility delay but I can't find it no mo'
[06:38:12] <Sulla> interesting
[06:38:23] <Sulla> i stopped caring about bowsing experience once opera died
[06:40:05] <chromas> opera++
[06:40:05] <Bender> karma - opera: 0
[06:40:17] <chromas> Someone's a bastard
[06:40:20] <chromas> ~whodown opera
[06:40:23] <chromas> !whodown opera
[06:40:23] <Bender> downers of opera are: chromas: -3
[06:40:28] <chromas> well
[06:40:29] <chromas> shit
[06:41:01] <chromas> Well, Google was pushing AMP as a lightweight mobile browsing experience but for no reason they require css to make the page invisible for like 15 seconds
[06:41:09] <chromas> then use javascript to make it visible earlier
[06:41:37] <chromas> so if you block js then you gotta wait around. Thought there'd be an extension for that
[06:44:40] <Sulla> guess im aristarchus now who posts quotes from ircin my sig
[06:45:16] <Sulla> i refuse all google products i can
[06:46:33] <chromas> *Boston Dynamics has joined #Soylent*
[06:46:37] <Sulla> i have been using IE at work
[06:46:45] <Sulla> and edge
[06:46:48] <chromas> Does it still get updates?
[06:46:59] <Sulla> dunno but our shitty browser software likes it
[06:47:11] <chromas> Have you tried the Edge betas?
[06:47:15] <Sulla> i figure microsoft just wants my wallet, google wants my soul
[06:47:19] <Sulla> no, should i?
[06:47:39] <chromas> I dunno. It's basically a chromium fork
[06:47:48] <chromas> I got one version to run in wine
[06:47:59] -!- Web_weasel [Web_weasel!~Stefan@cqig64-433-10-1.range14-483.btcentralplus.com] has joined #Soylent
[06:48:22] <Sulla> if i want no google, what should i be using?
[06:48:30] <chromas> microsoft would be demanding your soul too if if was in socal
[06:48:42] <chromas> curl
[06:49:19] <chromas> There are a few modernish browsers that aren't chrome or firefox, like Falkon
[06:49:25] <chromas> but I don't think it has extensions
[06:50:35] <Sulla> edge is in app store
[06:50:49] <Sulla> but if its just google with a ms skin its worthless
[06:50:53] <chromas> oh it does has extensions. but I think they're made in c++. don't see an extension 'store'
[06:51:13] <chromas> well it's a chromium fork, not chrome, so it's got 12% less google
[06:52:03] <chromas> maybe sorta like running AOSP on your phone. You can android without google services
[06:52:09] <Sulla> why does falkon want my location data and media access
[06:52:38] <chromas> I dunno. If you're looking in the windows store, I don't know if it's even related to the browser I'm thinking of
[06:52:52] <Sulla> i just reset my blackberry recently and havent un-play serviced it. un-googling breaks everything
[06:52:53] <chromas> but it could be because browsers support that
[06:53:11] <chromas> alternative firmware
[06:53:21] <Sulla> ah
[06:53:29] <chromas> like there's lineageos and stuff
[06:53:40] <chromas> the google stuff comes separately
[06:53:50] <chromas> you can run f-droid or amazon store or whatever
[06:53:52] <Sulla> ill make my AC friend tech me up a phone build
[06:54:01] <Sulla> i have fdroid and its pretty sweet
[06:54:40] <chromas> and you can run an instance of nextcloud or something if you want to sync your contacts and stuff to the interbutts
[06:54:52] <Sulla> >syncing
[06:55:01] <Sulla> easier to just not bother having contacts
[06:55:58] <chromas> I don't see Falkon in the windows store
[06:56:25] <chromas> or are you on a linux now?
[06:56:46] <Sulla> on blackberry priv with some version of android
[06:56:55] <Sulla> falkon is in the playstore
[06:57:13] <Sulla> into the trash edge goes, cant be used to post on SN
[06:57:44] <chromas> the beta? yeah, it would go invisible or something when I tied loading sn before
[06:57:52] <chromas> or maybe it crashed. I forgot
[06:58:13] <Sulla> when you go to make a comment the "use the preview button" to "URLs" is up halfway through box for text input
[06:59:15] <Sulla> falkon does the same
[06:59:16] <chromas> oh that was the other thing. the top half of the tab bar was cut off when I tried it
[06:59:34] <chromas> I'm thinking that falkon on android isn't related to the desktop falkon
[07:01:02] <Sulla> ah
[07:02:03] <chromas> I have firefox on my phone. seems pretty slow
[07:02:41] <chromas> google's probably in there, stealing my mhz
[07:03:35] <Sulla> i have had less problems with firefox than anything else
[07:04:16] <chromas> sometimes bing is retarded
[07:04:35] <chromas> Do quiz for points, "hey get points by joining bing rewards"
[07:04:45] <chromas> click join, takes me to the already-logged-in dashboard
[07:05:43] <Sulla> what search engine should i be using? i have been using smartpage recently
[07:06:48] <chromas> I was gonna suggest ixquick but I guess that's what startpage used to be
[07:08:28] <chromas> There's also searx, which is a meta search page
[07:12:14] <chromas> "Cilla Carden, a vegan, says her neighbors are barbecuing in their backyard to intentionally irritate her. Courts, however, don't understand what her beef is."

[07:24:46] <Sulla> hah
[07:24:52] <Sulla> id continue to cook meat daily
[07:25:20] <Sulla> well depends
[07:26:05] <Sulla> if they moved in next door, f em. if i moved in next door, dont cook out of spite
[07:27:25] <Sulla> >allowing their children to bounce basketballs

[23:07:02] <Sulla> chromas you around?
[23:07:23] <chromas> I are
[23:08:07] <Sulla> In the Dr. Rand Paul waste article
[23:08:23] <Sulla> Your opinion on whether my response is offtopic
[23:08:56] <Sulla> how is quoting tfa off topic?
[23:09:26] <chromas> Search your heart
[23:11:44] <chromas> I actually can't find that quote in tfa
[23:12:31] <AzumaHazuki> does that report include things like the president's constant golfing?
[23:13:01] <chromas> it does
[23:13:08] <chromas> "Converted an abandoned mental hospital into DHS HQ (GSA and DHS) .......... $2,120,040,355.35"
[23:13:51] <AzumaHazuki> so...they just let even crazier people in and told them to run the place?
[23:14:39] <Sulla> page 9 of the pdf on the article
[23:14:41] <chromas> It's like Arkham Asylum. Batman is real.
[23:15:06] <chromas> I just noticed it turns blank after the first few pages. I probably need more javascript for the rest of the document
[23:15:42] <AzumaHazuki> ...gah. i've got anemia
[23:15:48] <chromas> oh good. now it has js popups
[23:16:03] <AzumaHazuki> idiot plasmapheresis machine broke last night 2/3 of the way through donation. i lost almost a litre's worth of red cells. have been weak and slow all day
[23:16:25] <AzumaHazuki> going to see if anyone around here sells beef heart, and slow-cook one
[23:16:54] <chromas> Does that increase blood production?
[23:17:46] <AzumaHazuki> high heme iron, high CoQ10, high protein
[23:17:53] <AzumaHazuki> i hear it tastes offal though :V
[23:18:08] <chromas> hue
[23:18:45] <Sulla> just had beef heart this mornin
[23:18:47] <AzumaHazuki> figures this had to happen smack in the middle of shark week too, ugh
[23:18:55] <Sulla> its good stuf
[23:20:00] <Sulla> This morning made it into small slices and fried it with eggs. it is a little lean and soemtimes can taste overly irony but I prefer it to sterloin
[23:20:17] <Sulla> afk
[23:20:43] <chromas> See, even Sulla can taste the irony
[23:20:45] <AzumaHazuki> wish i had your food budget...i went to donate specifically to afford better food and, well, this happened. can't donate for 2 months now
[23:21:13] <AzumaHazuki> if the Fates would be so kind as to quit shitting thin shit all over my life, as they have been for upwards of a decade, i would be much obliged
