[01:23:52] <requerdanos> I would say no. However, a link leads to traffic in return.
[01:24:25] <requerdanos> and google news is just a pretty list of links.
[01:25:21] <requerdanos> I don't support the "linking to me is infringing on me somehow" argument; if you don't want people to be able to link to you, don't run a web server

[02:36:00] <AzumaHazuki> i submitted that one already from Ars but...yeah. wow.
[02:36:30] <AzumaHazuki> if it weren't for the fact that a) innocent people will suffer and die and b) us blue states will need to bail out Tennessee's inbred retard-rhombus-ass, i'd be laughing
[02:38:55] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - OpenPOWER Foundation | Libre-SOC 180nm Power ISA ASIC Submitted to Imec for Fabrication - https://sylnt.us - how-thick-is-that-in-human-hairs?
[02:43:53] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: please watch your language in this channel.
[02:51:44] <AzumaHazuki> since when is rhombus a swear?!
[02:52:17] <t3> I suspect the blame for patriarchy can be put on kin selection as much as or more than sexual dimorphism
[02:52:23] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: "Tennessee's inbred retard"
[02:52:47] <AzumaHazuki> ...Tennessee is a swear now? I mean i kind of agree but eesh
[02:53:06] <Bytram> "inbred retard"
[02:53:14] <Bytram> from the topic: "Please keep discussions civil"
[02:53:17] <t3> part of me wishes for big brother to surveil us more effectively so that the raw data will be collected
[02:53:32] <Bytram> I'm not going to argue. be nice, or begone.

[03:41:05] <chromas> What'd you do?
[03:41:45] * chromas smakes bot
[03:43:00] <chromas> Or maybe it couldn't be nice
[03:43:57] <t3> obviously systemd is not nice, it's pid 1!

[03:44:16] <chromas> t3++
[03:44:16] <Bender> karma - t3: 3
[04:03:10] <AzumaHazuki> can we have some more mods, speaking of "keeping it civil," so when the resident Jew-hating shitposter comes in he doesn't get to stick around?
[04:03:36] <AzumaHazuki> he's making an important point, actually: this place enforces rules inconsistently and ineffectually, and does nothing to get rid of the actual problems
[04:03:59] <requerdanos> (1) everyone with a + by their name is probably able to use the kick command; (2) he never sticks around anyway.
[04:05:04] <requerdanos> drive-by hatred drivel is still sick and unwanted, mind you
[04:06:12] <AzumaHazuki> but the point he's making about the mods/admins is still valid unfortunately
[04:06:35] <AzumaHazuki> we have gaps in coverage, the rules are enforced unevenly and poorly, and nothing actually gets done about the real troublemakers
[04:07:04] <requerdanos> I agree there's room for improvement.
[04:07:26] <AzumaHazuki> hell, i'm on at all weird hours of the night, i'll do it
[04:08:02] <AzumaHazuki> and why in the fuck doesn't anyone ban the hostmasks he's using?! yes, yes, he can switch hosts, but he has to burn one every time that way
[04:08:32] <requerdanos> That's actually a great question imo.
[04:16:23] <AzumaHazuki> the answer is the admins don't give a fuck, i would guess
[04:17:26] <requerdanos> I think it's more nuanced than that, actually
[04:19:44] <AzumaHazuki> okay, a bunch of them are also lazy maybe?
[04:21:46] <requerdanos> I don't think that's the problem either.
[04:23:04] <Bytram> he has used a diffrent hostmask each time -- I've looked. And If we ban every mask he ever uses, we run the risk of blocking users who legitimately find themselves assigned that mask.
[04:24:03] <Bytram> For every problem there is a solution: simple, obvious, and wrong.
[04:24:15] <AzumaHazuki> yes, i've considered that, and come to the conclusion that i'm not sure i give a fuck
[04:24:29] <Bytram> (prolly a bad recollectiooon of Mencen(sp?))
[04:24:56] <AzumaHazuki> y'all could fix this by making this channel registration-required. i don't buy that bullshit about "butbutbutbut MUH LANDING ZONE FROM SN!"
[04:25:08] <AzumaHazuki> registration is not onerous and we almost never get new users here anyway
[04:25:24] <Bytram> then why did you bring it up except to waste the limited free time that staff has available? You are doing yourself NO favors here.
[04:26:00] <AzumaHazuki> to offer you several possible partial and one full solution
[04:26:34] <Bytram> I'm exhausted after pushing out a dozen stories in a row today -- up too late as it is. good noght.
[04:26:44] <AzumaHazuki> to solve this, make the channel registered-only. that way bans will have some teeth, and a smaller splash radius. sleep on it.
[04:26:48] <requerdanos> https://chat.soylentnews.org is simply not compatible with registration. hi and goodnight bytram.
[04:27:05] <Bytram> Regurgitator: thank you for pointing that out
[04:27:13] <AzumaHazuki> then we're just going to end up stuck in this cul-de-sac
[04:27:54] <requerdanos> less than ideal, sure, but far from a dystopian hellscape.
[04:28:12] <AzumaHazuki> there's no real defense against an army of such trolls
[04:28:27] <AzumaHazuki> at the very least turn the damn floodcheck mode on...!
[04:28:37] <Bytram> the whole idea of the channel, first and foremost, is to provide an altrnate means of communication should there be problems withthe site; 2ndly, a place to socialize. registration is not at all conducive to point 1.
[04:29:06] <Bytram> it's ho we sometimes 1st get word that there's even a problem.
[04:29:49] <Bytram> =g For every problem there is a solution simple obvious and wrong menken
[04:30:04] <Bytram> no bot
[04:30:05] <requerdanos> systemd ate itself earlier
[04:30:07] <AzumaHazuki> well guys, i don't know what we're going to do about this little tragedy of the commons just waiting to happen
[04:30:40] <AzumaHazuki> probably somewhere between squat and jack squat as always. heaven forfend we put a few other halfops in for 24-hour coverage even
[04:31:36] <Bytram> we wack when we can, and you prolly missed it, but the past few days I've seen FatPhil, requerdanos, and a couple others give EF the .kick
[04:31:55] <AzumaHazuki> i did see those actually
[04:32:22] <AzumaHazuki> christ, that guy is insane. he's lost it. he's squeaking flapping loop-de-looping bat-shagging nuts
[04:32:37] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: are you just going to complain? you're making far more noize and sturm and drag than EF does. think about that for a bit.
[04:32:39] <Bytram> byw

[06:48:12] <chromas> Didn't expect he would be
[06:48:37] <FatPhil> There's a guy calling himself 'texas gate' who posts on rec.autos.sport.f1 who easily has twice the cancer growing inside his skull than EF does.
[06:49:28] <FatPhil> e.g. see the followups to one of the most valuable contributors to the newsgroup just a few days ago: Message-ID: <ikrbs5Fi0s9U1@mid.individual.net>
[06:50:47] <FatPhil> His MO frequently involves responding to the same bit of the same post about 5 times, with nothing but insults.
[06:51:19] <chromas> but does he Name the Jew™?
[06:51:30] <raxas> concerning systemd, I observed it mishandles page titles containg '|', that may be a dangerous glitch
[06:51:49] <raxas> and may be related to memleak

[06:54:49] <chromas> if I remember right, pipes are stripped because they're almost always used to delimit the site title, which is useless information
[06:55:37] <chromas> like "Elon Musk is the New Steve Jobs | The Dirge"
[06:58:42] <FatPhil> probably not enough jews in F1 for texarse to get all ranty about it, more ay-rabs in it to be honest. Racism would not be out of character for him tho'.

[12:06:35] <Bytram> Wait, wut? Bernie Ecclestone is still involved with F1? I thot he'd sold things and left. /me met him a couple times when working on a project for F1. Was ~15ft (5 m) from him a few more times.

[15:16:12] <FatPhil> web bank is nagging me to confirm my business information, for tax or other governmental purposes. there's one field that logically/truthfully cannot contain anything - and it's not letting me leave it blank. Wondering if "fuck you" would be an acceptible filler.

[15:17:00] <chromas> maybe "null" or something else they probably don't sanitize for
[15:18:09] <FatPhil> '; drop table customers
[15:18:58] <chromas> I bet they're not even using mysql_real_for_really_realz_this_time_escape_string()
[15:24:13] <progo> "not even using mysql real…" Reminds me: Microsoft Dynamics lets you build solutions and pretend you're using a relational database, but actually you have no access to SQL; they built a crappy API on top of a bespoke table storage engine that's probably backed by SQL; and the worst thing: it's missing critical relational features, like you can't have a value in a reference column in a record resolve to this same record. (record can't point to itself
[15:24:13] <progo> )
[15:24:29] <progo> don't ever learn Microsoft Dynamics CRM
[15:25:12] <progo> and there's so much "programming" in Dynamics that often can only be accomplished by hundreds of clicks on a schematic diagram
[15:27:12] <raxas> https://www.youtube.com
[15:27:14] <boru> Microshite only ever implemented two pieces of usable, semi-well designed software: excel and pbrush.exe
[15:27:15] <FatPhil> A mate was pestering me on how to write a queery to get him or his client out of a hole caused by MS Dynamics. It did sound pretty retarded

[15:27:20] <boru> Everything else is universally terrible.
[15:27:41] <FatPhil> He knows I've dabbled with a bunch of DBs and just presumed I could help him with that one too.
[15:28:57] <FatPhil> One of us the high-paid consultant with big business clients. The other is a code monkey scraping things together. :(
[15:29:37] <boru> I need to come up with an alternative offensive name for dynamics now. I've got shitepoint, powershite (powershell or powerpoint, take your pick), ms orrifice, toilet (teams), wank (word)
[15:29:55] <FatPhil> MS Turd, surely?
[15:29:56] <boru> Shitepoint being sharepoint, naturally.
[15:30:03] <boru> Oh, very good.

[15:31:17] <boru> Come on, you witty wordsmith.
[15:31:59] <progo> boru: Microsoft Lethargics
[15:32:18] <boru> It will do as a placeholder for something more offensive.

[15:50:59] <FatPhil> Normally the Journal carries stuffy boring papers (such as "on changes in the use of certain latin phrases in modern jurisprudence" (3 times, in consecutive editions, focussing on different phrases, not joking)), but this guy's *angry* and not pulling any punches!

[18:05:29] <t3> an earwig just bounced off my face, landed on my laptop, and scurried away
[18:05:58] <t3> I only saw it from very close before it hit me, have no idea where it came from
[18:06:37] <t3> did a bird or a dragonfly drop it? did it jump? did I just witness someone get isekaid?
[18:10:27] <t3> ah, I guess they can actually fly
[18:13:07] <raxas> it just mis-teleported itself
[18:20:03] <boru> Yes, they can fly, unfortunately.

[18:48:02] <SedBot> <raxas> so, those species with "missing wings" may have a hard time flying
[18:48:03] <FatPhil> there's a clue in the name - dermaptera
[18:48:50] <FatPhil> all the -ptera are populated with things that have wings.
[18:49:01] <FatPhil> like helicoptera, obviously.
[18:49:42] <raxas> I trust wikipedia more than you
[19:10:37] * chromas sneakily edits FatPhil to follow an agenda
[19:30:46] <FatPhil> I was trying to edumicate you. Lots of people think helicopters are heli-copters, but they aren't, they're helico-pters.
[19:31:21] <chromas> are there helico-pterodactyls?
[19:31:28] <FatPhil> But I do appreciate being contrasted against Wikipedia, thanks, as Wikipedia is now infested with pure garbage.
[19:31:55] <FatPhil> they may have spiralled down to land, in which case, bazinga!

[19:44:57] <chromas> seems legit
[19:50:03] <FatPhil> That would have been a good joke 5-15 years ago
[19:50:27] <chromas> Are IPAs uncool now?
[19:50:29] <FatPhil> Nowadays, so-called "IPA"s are nothing but lactose and fruit, barely even beer.
[19:50:44] <FatPhil> Worse - they're *incredibly* cool
[19:51:07] <chromas> Sounds like they've gone from hipster to basic
[19:51:18] <chromas> Are there pumpkin spice IPAs?
[19:51:26] <FatPhil> The commercial logic of the craft brewers was to expand the popularity of the brand by marketting non-beer to people who don't like beer.
[19:51:40] <FatPhil> And the idiots bought it.
[19:51:43] <chromas> so like coffee
[19:52:04] <FatPhil> Or pop music in the 1960s.
[19:52:31] <chromas> beatles were overrated; fite me
[19:52:59] <FatPhil> I still view and rate the beers that come from our brewpub online (ratebeer), and if they make one of the fashionable shits, I shit on it from a great hight. There's no homerism.

[19:53:26] <chromas> so "no-homer"?
[19:57:51] <FatPhil> I thought I'd once used that in a review, but apparent;y I've not.

[20:05:21] <Runaway1956> Sounded to me like Homer Simpson doesn't like fashionable shit beer?
