[03:27:32] <AzumaHazuki> that's clever. vertical integration. "weed leads to munchies" is their assumption?

[04:47:53] <FatPhil> i thought delivery dope was a feature of the new dope peddlars right since legalisation?
[05:04:16] <chromas> Yeah but now the buttholes who take 30% of the food cost also want in on that racket

[05:27:32] <FatPhil> the so-called sharing economy
[05:30:08] <FatPhil> my local kebabery had taxi delivery of food back in the 90s. I simply fail to see what's innovative in uber-eats/doordash/wolt/bolt/fudy/...
[05:30:34] <AzumaHazuki> why, forming a class of indentured servants of course
[05:31:17] <FatPhil> I'm not so sure the taxi companies were all that ethical either!
[05:32:18] <FatPhil> oh, and inb4 chromas says "but you can't eat kebabs with dentures"
[05:33:12] <chromas> Why would you eat dentures with kebabs?
[05:33:32] <FatPhil> for proper amoral corruption, you want it at the civic level. corruption's too important to be left to private enterprise.
[05:33:46] <chromas> Anyhow, the innovation is muh apps
[05:34:39] <chromas> You could have a taxi deliver food in the 90s, but did you summon the driver with a 35MB Java package?

[10:08:26] <SoyCow1018> Runaway is tryint to defend his "Jews are ebil" statemnnt by saying that he said they are not the only evil. Nice. And this in a janrinok journal? Why is all the action these days in janrinok journals? A few months ago, he never went there.

[10:55:23] <janrinok> I still don't - I said a month or two back that I would add stories to be discussed by those who do not wish to have an account.
[10:55:42] <janrinok> At the top of each journal page it states "The Fine Print: The following are owned by whoever posted them. We are not responsible for them in any way."
[10:55:55] <janrinok> I assume that you understand this?

[12:25:33] <inz> chromas, in the 90s, a 35MB java package could do wonders. Nowadays you can't even fit a hello world in it.

[15:49:38] <chromas> I barely remember 90s Java—at least the little browser plugin. It brought the Opera installer all the way from 2MB to 9. Otherwise, I didn't see much of it, probably because Visual Basic was the programming platform for dummies back then

[16:35:13] <FatPhil> what's java? I'm on shockwave flash!
[16:35:29] <janrinok> lol - safe as houses!
[16:43:25] <chromas> I remember, right before Flash took over, several software companies sold off all their products to focus on web plugins
[16:44:01] <janrinok> I wonder what those companies are doing now?
[16:44:32] <chromas> I think MetCreations was one.
[16:44:39] <chromas> and Sonic Foundry maybe
[16:44:50] -!- norayr [norayr!~norayr@178.160.ntr.vs] has parted #soylent
[16:45:12] <chromas> Dunno but hopefully they made some bucks
[16:45:56] <janrinok> I vaguely remember Sonic Foundry I think, but the other one is unknown to me.
[16:46:54] <chromas> They did Bryce, Poser (I think) and some other easy-to-learn 3D software
[16:47:56] <chromas> Sonic Foundry had audio and video editing software. They sold it off to Sony who did almost nothing with it for years (except add bugs and a couple shitty plugins) then sold it off
[16:48:24] <chromas> Vegas, Acid, Sound Forge

[16:51:14] <chromas> oh yeah Macromedia was another of those companies that made a bunch of toys, but I think they all got ate up by Adobe
[16:51:43] * chromas sniffles and remembers all the shovelware games ending with a "Made with Macromedia" splash screen
[16:52:42] <chromas> I don't remember if it was Flash or Shockwave, but people used to make desktop software with it
