Was there no good contact with the heatsink?

[torn mural]

Hmm, not sure honestly

I completely cleaned it

Remove the dust that was inside kinda

Something I never did in those 10 years of owning that pc

Could've help

I also cleaned the cpu to re-apply paste

Maybe the contact was somewhat better, but no idea how or why

[stark prawn]

The paste is probably the biggest difference

The paste is what makes the contact better.

[gentle moss]

anyone else played red dead 2?

• have a tip to make the game feel less slow and dull and more... story based

i long for linear games :(

[tame terrace]

you're finding red dead 2 slow and dull?

[gentle moss]

start was great

[tame terrace]

tip for making the game less slow - stop exploring and just do mission after mission

that makes it play more linearly

and it's still super long

[rough sapphire]

Great tip to make it not slow and dull: Play Fallout 3/New Vegas/4 instead.

😄

[gentle moss]

that's...

a bad tip

[tame terrace]

fallout 4 sucked.

[gentle moss]

^

[rough sapphire]

It did, but with the DLC it was a lot better.

[gentle moss]

3 was good

yeah okay, i'll buy the game and then all the DLC to make it acceptable

[tame terrace]

new vegas was the pinnacle of the series

[rough sapphire]

I can't really argue with that, tbh

[gentle moss]

yup

[tame terrace]

in new vegas you could go through most missions in like.. 2 or more completely different ways

sometimes half a dozen different ways

[rough sapphire]

||At Camp Golf, if you go inside the building you'll see Mr. House at the feet of Liberty Prime||

[tame terrace]

in fallout 4 there is always one solution

it has zero replayability

it wasn't terrible or anything, just not a very good fallout game

I was disappointed.

[rough sapphire]

Then again, the ||whole Mechanist DLC on 4 was weird because it was a totally different person than who played the Mechanist in 3...||

[tame terrace]

I will admit I didn't really do any of the FO4 DLC

[gentle moss]

also, base building

[tame terrace]

I was super put off by that

felt completely out of place

[gentle moss]

i'm not a super fan of open world stuff to start with

it's uhhh

a great way to thin out content

[tame terrace]

I love open world, when done right.

[gentle moss]

i mean red dead is pretty as shit

and i'm enjoying roaming around

open world done wrong: Mirror's Edge 2

that's a LINEAR game

[tame terrace]

red dead 2 was one of the best open world games I've ever played.

mirror's edge 2 should never have existed

I couldn't play it past the 2 hour mark

[gentle moss]

or AT LEAST been linear story

[tame terrace]

not with a gun to my head

[gentle moss]

i finished it and it was fucking awful

[tame terrace]

it felt like DICE had their hearts ripped out of their chest by EA, but what do I know

[rough sapphire]

||The Mechanist in 3 was a guy, and the Mechanist in 4 was a woman. But you got a lot of history too. Like how RobCo was a front for the U.S. military and how the brains in Robobrains are prisoners that have had their memory wiped.||

[tame terrace]

the game was completely stripped of all magic

[gentle moss]

yeah, mirrors edge was actually well crafted

but they tried to wedge all the fucking buzzword flavour of the year bullshit into it

with 2

[tame terrace]

when I was like 12 I built my first real computer in order to play Morrowind

now that was a wonderful open world game

it was broken in so many interesting ways

most of them made it a joy to play

[vapid bluff]

oh dice 😦

[gentle moss]

that's one of the reasons i loved WoW

[vapid bluff]

makes me sad for mirror's edge

[gentle moss]

big open world but broken

i like broken things, they've got charm

like little broken, not massive

[tame terrace]

sure, when you figure out that you could make a potion that makes you better at making potions it feels a bit like the developers must've not expected you to do that, but then you find a scroll that makes you jump 100 kilometers and die when you hit the ground and you realize that maybe they just thought it would be fun, and left it in.

[gentle moss]

the bit i'm finding annoying about read dead is the whole uhhhh

you're basically in a linear story mode for the intro, then dumped with nothing more than vague idea of wtf to do

and if you're after a linear story that's not helpful

and i'm guessing there is a linear story in there

i want to know wtf happened on that boat for proper.

[tame terrace]

just keep doing the missions

the story dips in and out but it does keep going

you'll know more the more you play

and frankly, the "side-missions" (if you can even call them that) are some of the most satisfying in the game

it's like they said "hey let's not have sidemissions because that normally means "missions that suck and are just there as filler". let's just make only main-storyline quality missions instead."

[vapid bluff]

open world done right: deus ex series

dont have ps3/ps4 so never played any of the red dead games

[wet steppe]

deus ex human revolution was great

[vapid bluff]

md is even better imo, much closer in spirit to the original deus ex than hr was

hr had those stupid boss fights you cant do nonlethally

though in the directors cut they kind of fix that, but you still essentially kill the bosses

[sand goblet]

Sunset overdrive had a great open world

It's pretty fun to parkour the shit out of

[vestal briar]

Hmm my alexa skill isnt getted submitted because they are saying they cannot access the endpoint

And it works perfectly fine

[lilac glade]

[sand goblet]

Nope, there's only trash here.

[tame terrace]

that's hot, @frail sluice

WOW

[lilac glade]

wow

[tame terrace]

sorry some other person

[lilac glade]

I'm offended.

lmao

I'll retreat back into my cave now

[tame terrace]

no, stay!

[lilac glade]

Sorry :)

[tame terrace]

now that I have summoned you

[sand goblet]

that's hilarious, they're first in my completion list too

[tame terrace]

what are you up to, re:fi.64 ?

[frail sluice]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

oddly enough I love Python but I'm on sooo many Discords

so this generally stays further towards the lower ends of the list...

[lilac glade]

Glad to see you're here at a moment's notice, though

[tame terrace]

so, what can we do to make you move it higher up?

what would make it beat those other dirty servers

[frail sluice]

err well I kinda moderate some of them

So they need to stay further up

[robust sierra]

why not moderate this server?

[torn mural]

🤔

[rough sapphire]

Silence

[pine vector]

and...you ruined it.

[rough sapphire]

I mean, that was a solid 3 hours tho

[pine vector]

yeah. quite rare. 😄

there's been a couple of full 24 hour silences in an ot channel that i can remember

I was here first..

change your name.. find something original

[rough sapphire]

Yet you don't see me complaining about all the Scotts.

well yours is a typically common name..

Says the one who is named after a movie

hey.. that movie is a part of cinematic history..

iconic even

Sure, but it's also common

[gentle moss]

oh wow, how enlightened

[narrow comet]

wait, what?

[gentle moss]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[languid kelp]

whoever actually deemed the dalai lama to be anything other than some guy? (tbh)

[gentle moss]

their religion?

[languid kelp]

is he buddhist?

Tibetan Buddhism

hmm

i mean, he is competing with the catholic bishop

or whatever the title for that guy is

the pope 👀

[gentle moss]

the pope

:D

[languid kelp]

XD

[stark prawn]

It's pretty clear that the next dalai lama Will be found by the Chinese.

[gentle moss]

well the one that was supposed to be the new one was spirited away by the chinese

or w/e

[rough sapphire]

spirited away is the name of an anime

[gentle moss]

"if there's no dalai llama there can be no tibet!"

[rough sapphire]

there is no tibet, according to China

[gentle moss]

yes.

[languid kelp]

they should have listened

so will Tibetans be given asylum now? what is gonna happen

[gentle moss]

i think the dalai lama found a new person to become the next dalai lama, because apparently it's not something you're born with you can just be chosen

[languid kelp]

why would it have to be something you're necessarily born with

can you be born without a spiritual right to be a ruler leader

:^)

[vapid bluff]

the fuck is that tweet

as if the current dalai lama is adonis incarnate

[gentle moss]

quite

[vapid bluff]

wow what a hottie

[gentle moss]

because they're incarnations discordo

The Dalai Lama is also considered to be the successor in a line of tulkus who are believed to be incarnations of Avalokiteśvara, a Bodhisattva of Compassion.```

[languid kelp]

of course they are, my bad

[vapid bluff]

dont you just wanna spend all day looking at that face

need that as a poster on my wall damn

[stark prawn]

It's probably not that hard to find one.

[vapid bluff]

well there's my christmas sorted

One of the more troubling comments came while discussing an interview in 2015, in which he stated that if a female was to become the next Dalai Lama, she would have to be "very attractive, otherwise not much use."

what do you think he's trying to say about himself here

[gentle moss]

exactly

:D

[vapid bluff]

is he shading himself or being arrogant?

[narrow comet]

arrogant

clearly

[vapid bluff]

could be charitably interpreted as him saying he's not very attractive and not a very useful dalai lama

and that the next one needs to be more attractive to score PR points

[narrow comet]

only by an idiot

[vapid bluff]

but thats a stretch or two

[narrow comet]

yes it is

[languid kelp]

where have all the good leaders gone

[solid wolf]

Animals as Leaders?

[stark prawn]

We already have that.

[narrow comet]

where

goatlasdan?

[languid kelp]

anime characters as leaders*

[gentle moss]

there's a town where the mayor is a cat

i believe

[languid kelp]

bisk what do you think of quitting GUI?

i belive @royal tartan is doing that, aren't you

[stark prawn]

Quitting GUI?

[languid kelp]

quitting, going cold turkey

[stark prawn]

My preferred way is alt + f4

[languid kelp]

i mean, that's a bit harsh

how will i do my job

when i get a job

[solid wolf]

something something install gentoo

[languid kelp]

still, that's not necessary

but GUIs, are they necessary

i'm just not sure

[stark prawn]

No.

Are clothes necessary?

Is electricity necessary?

[gentle moss]

what, GUI's are good

i mean there's a shit load of stuff i do through shortcuts and terms because it's faster than fucking with a GUI

but it doesn't mean a GUI is bad

[solid wolf]

Are clothes necessary?
This guy gets it

[languid kelp]

yes, if you are outdoors, they are, by law, and by the fact that you will freeze to death in certain places

and yes, it is, how else will you power your CLI-powered computer

[gentle moss]

not having a GUI is like tearing your eyes out because sure you can hear still

[wet steppe]

GUI bad
CLI only
don't leave terminal

[languid kelp]

💯

[stark prawn]

tbh even my terminal has a GUI

[cosmic quiver]

clothes are definitely necessary

[vapid bluff]

the terminal -is- a gui

[languid kelp]

okay but that's not what I was meaning

stop trying to outsmart the novelty

[cosmic quiver]

try live in -30c without clothes

i dare you

[solid wolf]

I wouldn't live in -30c with clothes

[vapid bluff]

challenge accepted

other animals live in those conditions without clothes all the time 😛

[royal tartan]

@languid kelp no i do use gui

[cosmic quiver]

I wonder what humans invented to replicate animal fat layers and fur

[royal tartan]

i just find it easier at times to not use it

really depends

[languid kelp]

so restricting just web browsing to CLI?

[vapid bluff]

copious body hair

[gentle moss]

@cosmic quiver, getting suuuuuuuuuupppperrr fat

obviously

[cosmic quiver]

lol

[royal tartan]

web browsing on cli is good

[solid wolf]

Isn't that how Stallman browses the web?

[languid kelp]

no

[royal tartan]

makes you stop using poorly designed crqp

[vapid bluff]

right, so if you stop shaving and drink milkshakes like theyre water youll be sable to survive the tundra no problem

[languid kelp]

he browses the web through his email, i think? allegedly

[royal tartan]

stallman gets his sites as html on email

[solid wolf]

I'm not out of shape; I'm preparing for the next ice age

[languid kelp]

but how will you use umatrix addon without GUI XD

[royal tartan]

i wont run js

js was a mistake

[languid kelp]

but

discord is written in js

[royal tartan]

so?

[vestal briar]

Not having a gui is stupid

I could do everything in the cli but why would I ever want to for day-to-day usage

[gentle moss]

bwahahaha

so recently google tried to make the "Mark as Read/Unread" in Gmail more accessible by creating a dedicated button for it

after like a week or two of accidentally going into the "..." menu and marking shit as important over and over

they've added it back to the "..." menu as well as having a dedicated button

[vestal briar]

Hah

[wet steppe]

may as well have 2

[gentle moss]

willing to bet it was user complaints

i imagine metrics of "mail marked important" skyrocketed

[wet steppe]

MS Office has like 5+ ways to do most things

[gentle moss]

As part of his pledge to “turbocharge” the British economy after Brexit, the Tory leadership hopeful said he will waive loan repayments for any graduate who launches a start-up employing more than 10 people for five years. ```

well that's cute but uhhh

if you've got a startup employing 10 people for 5 years then you probably don't need the help repaying your loan?

[languid kelp]

jsut

just make a startup

[gentle moss]

"£90k in debt with a student loan? just start a company that employs 10 people for 5 years and we'll waive that for you."

[languid kelp]

"we're losing $1 a day, but its our startup, and we love it"

i guess there are minimum wages involved

[gentle moss]

yes, since that's the law

doesn't fucking matter?!

[languid kelp]

hey bisk

you know

2020 is coming up

win7 will no longer be supported

[gentle moss]

i will have to upgrade my home computer, yes.

[wet steppe]

there are mousepads now that wirelessly charge mouse

[lilac glade]

I mean I guess it's so that you don't charge it during use, and charge it overnight or something.
Makes no sense whatsoever, but it's still there, yeah.

[languid kelp]

😮

i need one

[lilac glade]

I have one of those.

[gentle moss]

it makes absolutely no sense

at all

[lilac glade]

For my wired mouse.

[gentle moss]

there is room to put a front charger on that mouse

[languid kelp]

i don't want any more wires in my life

[gentle moss]

so it can be cabled

[languid kelp]

over-the-air monitors

let me just ssh over wifi

[gentle moss]

wires are a man's best friend

[wet steppe]

wireless gaming mice are good now

logitech G903

costly though

[lilac glade]

It's not actually a full pad charger. There's a bubble where wireless charging can be done. I use it for my phone when I take it out of its case because the case blocks wireless charging.

[gentle moss]

not as good as a wire

[wet steppe]

its as good as wire now

[lilac glade]

Or at least, it's thick enough to.

[gentle moss]

no it's not as good as a wire

and never will be

[wet steppe]

doubt

[gentle moss]

fact.

[lilac glade]

Wireless will never, ever, be as good as a wired connection.

[gentle moss]

ever

due to the very nature of....

waves hands about

air

[lilac glade]

unless someone wants to develop a vacuum tunnel for that, but then, the essence of wireless is lost.

[gentle moss]

wireless is better than it used to be that's for sure

but that's like saying a slap in the balls isn't as bad as a kick

[lilac glade]

At that point, your best bet is the copper inside a wire, because it's cheap, effective, and everywhere

[gentle moss]

plus idk what the polling rate or responsiveness of a wireless mouse is

[languid kelp]

well

[gentle moss]

easier to be certain with a wired mouse

[languid kelp]

there's good reason to want to have wireless charging for a smartphone

imagine having to plug that fucker in day in day out

[gentle moss]

you mean like we have historically done for the past decade?

[languid kelp]

yeah, we used to have to slice our bread too

no thank you!

[gentle moss]

don't tell norwegians that

they'll flip their shit

they hate "toast bread"

[stark prawn]

Our sugar bread comes unsliced

[lilac glade]

I'd honestly rather slice my bread.
Big honking chunk of bread with my breakfast instead of the flimsy crap from the store.

[gentle moss]

chonky bread can be nice

esp in a big sandwich

[languid kelp]

DIY bread isn't even the same as sliced vs unsliced

[gentle moss]

or dippy soup

[languid kelp]

you can get good sliced bread

[lilac glade]

But what about

canned bread

best thing since sliced.

[gentle moss]

i bet it exists

[lilac glade]

B&M makes it.

[gentle moss]

wow

[lilac glade]

It's trash-tier bread.

[gentle moss]

that's...

[languid kelp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxQFcUS1NGg

[gentle moss]

that's something

bread with tin rings in it

:D

[lilac glade]

I'd rather not, thanks.

Anyways, chonk bread > store bread any day.

[gentle moss]

the idea of using wireless stuff just unsettles me a bit

in terms of peripherals

[stark prawn]

Do you not have a mobile phone?

[lilac glade]

Wireless is nice on some things. Wireless mice in non-gaming situations is lovely, and keyboards aren't bad in certain cases.

[gentle moss]

peripherals

[lilac glade]

Wireless headphones are shit, don't even bother with them.

Those... those are peripherals

[gentle moss]

i mean the mobile phone comment

:P

[stark prawn]

I have been using wireless headphones for a couple of years.

So much freedom, especially when biking.

[lilac glade]

I've had a few pairs, and I've not like the quality on any of them.

My brother even has a wireless pair of Senheisers and they're not as good as the wire-ins I've had.

Okay, here's a question

Why the crap does Microsoft's SuperFetch sometimes work and other times make a system move like it's in slo-mo

Like seriously

[sand goblet]

I've always wondered that

I've never had issues with it

[gentle moss]

man

i've seen it work fine

or die in the most painfully slow way imaginable

it's a real mystery that one

[wet steppe]

SuperFetch is Lucifer

[dry zenith]

alright this isn't python but this has to be like a kindergartener level mistake someone save me please

        points_x[i] = points_x[i+1];
        points_y[i] = points_y[i+1];

yields

0,1,
1,1,2,
1,2,2,3,
2,2,3,3,4,

i want
0
0, 1
0, 1, 2
0, 1, 2, 3
etc

wth am I doing wrong

[gentle moss]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[summer rampart]

what's the approach? looks like there're some pieces to the puzzle missing

[narrow comet]

wait, what?

why would this do either of those things

[half spoke]

@dry zenith fam you want a nested for loop

[dry zenith]

no I don't

i was just trying to implement the equivalent of append

turns out the issue is elsewhere, i don't know where yet

it doesn't protect you

[half spoke]

it doesnt need to

as long as it doesn't have ACE you're gucci

[sand goblet]

Brave browser?

They kinda fucked us over on android

There was this app called link bubble I used to use

It opened links in bubbles, like Facebook chat heads, super useful

Brave acquired it and turned it into the brave browser you see on the store today

[half spoke]

lmao

[sand goblet]

No more link bubble

[half spoke]

yeah, brave is very much not a good company

it kills me how many people fail to see that

techbro, the company

[vapid bluff]

doesnt seem accurate to say they turned link bubble into brave

https://brave.com/unpublishing-link-bubble/

according to this there were some compatibility issues going forward

[sand goblet]

They did

[vapid bluff]

and theyre still providing the source

and updates

[sand goblet]

No, they did

[vapid bluff]

and presumably youre more than free to install apks of it

[sand goblet]

I never used brave browser

One day link bubble disappeared and was replaced by it

[vapid bluff]

that makes no sense

[sand goblet]

Link bubble was never supposed to be a primary browser so that entire post doesn't make sense

[vapid bluff]

the only person saying that seems to be you

i dont see any indication they intended link bubble to be a browser

[wet steppe]

im on FF

[vapid bluff]

looks more like something they acquired

[wet steppe]

but edgeium is okay now

[sand goblet]

They're talking about stuff like https everywhere

But you aren't going to login with link bubble

It couldn't even show dropdowns

The point was that it showed a preview of a page which was enough to read a link someone sent you and nothing more

You could open it in a real browser after that if you wanted

[vestal briar]

Hm why chrome > firefox?

[wooden kindle]

@brazen pecan that's true, but it would be more accurate to say that a unix installation places the executable (or a link to it) in a directory that is already in the PATH

While a windows installation is more segregated, which needs to be added manually

I hear windows has a Python app in their app store which is supposed to deal with a lot of those isues though

[steep pumice]

I need to get a Windows something or other going because every time I try to help someone using Windows it's a major PITA. Would be nice to actually know how to do it properly.

[wooden kindle]

It's also handy for windows specific development. Dual booting was easier than expected, and nice for other stuff like gaming.

I got much better performance out of my Vive when running on Windows (not suprisingly)

[brazen pecan]

Windows also has a ubuntu app in their app store which would be amazing but you cant actually find the files

Yeah they only have a python37 app

[steep pumice]

Eh, don't have time for games lol and to date never had a need for Windows development...

That's the thing, there must be a way to pick and choose Python versions. I do it all the time from the command line on MacOS

[brazen pecan]

I dual boot a surface pro and Im thinking about my desktop

[wooden kindle]

there's pyenv for windows

[brazen pecan]

Most of my development is done on my laptop, but this summer my VM has been painful

Yeah you can choose py versions

[steep pumice]

Ok that's what I use.

[wooden kindle]

I still use linux most of the time, but a windows VM just wasn't cutting it for a recent contract I was working on

[brazen pecan]

Heh other way for me

[swift phoenix]

I ended up with a macbook, a lenovo with dual boot linux/win. All covered

Living mostly on linux

[wooden kindle]

I've got a VM running OSX.. don't tell anyone 👀

[swift phoenix]

Version?

[wooden kindle]

Not sure tbh, High Sierra I think. Got it booted, haven't touched it since

[brazen pecan]

Getting imessage is very finniky

[swift phoenix]

I used VMs as well before for OS X, but it was just too painful to use for my purpose. Mainly use it to build wheels for osx python packages

So I bought a used 2013 macbook. Still works great 😄

[steep pumice]

Dude my brother-in-law is using my 08 MBP still lol, put an SSD in it for him and it keeps chugging lol

[swift phoenix]

haha yeah my sister is using that 08 unibody 17". I helped her installing ssd when the 5200 rpm died

[steep pumice]

Oh god, I remember when 17"+ laptops were a thing lol

[swift phoenix]

It's a monster

[hoary dagger]

Someone talking about pyenv?

Having some troubles just understanding the basics

I think what i need to do is keep python 3.7 in its global but be able to use whatever i want in a venv

But somehow i seem to of messed it up by configuring code.runner

Or i haven't and i am imagining things

i hate windows

linux is all about bin/

windows it could go anywhere

In windows its installed python in C:\Users\%user%\Appdata\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python.exe

i wasn't expecting that

idk if that is the way it setups global environmental variables or i simply did it wrong

[brazen pecan]

why do you need global environment variables

[hoary dagger]

in this particular case i don't since i am working within a workspace

But i thought it might be needed for anything in the future so i checked it to add to PATH

idk man

quirky

[rough sapphire]

does anyone speak French here..

[fierce mirage]

Huh, brainf**k looks awesome. If programming seemed so much like magic by some people, imagine when they see you coding that ._.

[narrow comet]

BF is actually simpler though

to understand

as a language

[fierce mirage]

Hmm. Imagine idk hackers using that, people trying to figure out their source code, they could give up by the visual, not even giving it a try ; P

[narrow comet]

probably an unlikely scenario

that just sounds like security by obscurity

BF is not somehow immune from being analyzed

you can even transpile it into something easier to read

[fierce mirage]

Oh yeh, you can do that kinda of stuff

In theory, if you didn't want people to mess with you, you could make your own language?

[narrow comet]

again, just security through obscurity

wouldn't really work

[tired osprey]

Just replace the target machine with your own processor arch physically without any debugging interface what so ever

Easy

[vapid bluff]

security through obscurity does have some value

for example when game devs integrate denuvo it's usually done in weird places and via confusing, hard to decipher ways

which doesnt make it uncrackable, sure, but thats not the goal. they just wanna increase the amount of time it takes to do it

to maximize sales for the first n weeks

[fierce mirage]

Denuvo?

[tired osprey]

Even the Linux kernel does some stuff similar to security through obscurity for its sys call table

It's pretty damn hard to find it nowadays but still possible with some effort

[vapid bluff]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denuvo @fierce mirage

[fierce mirage]

idonotknow

[tired osprey]

Some DRM software

So the thing can't be cloned

[fierce mirage]

I didn't mean that.

JK

Jus cuz denuvo in my language is "again" so sounded like he said, game devs integrate again...

[tired osprey]

What do you speak?

[fierce mirage]

actually not exatcly denuvo but u get what I mean

portuguese

[tired osprey]

I see

[narrow comet]

@vapid bluff well yeah but even then DRM is obviously a lost cause

it buys you 2 weeks tops

[vapid bluff]

debatable

[narrow comet]

gets you sales, sure

[tired osprey]

Hey lyricly guess what day it is

[narrow comet]

but almost always gets cracked

Saturday?

[tired osprey]

Yes but more special

[narrow comet]

it's not my birthday

[tired osprey]

Correct

[narrow comet]

and it's not yours

so idk

[tired osprey]

No it's the first day in my life for me to be a workless member of our beautiful society

How do you know my birthday.....

[narrow comet]

what?

workless?

oh, worthless!

you graduated

workless and worthless

both!

[vapid bluff]

@narrow comet some denuvo games go many months without being cracked

[narrow comet]

is that because nobody cares about them

[vapid bluff]

i think the longest one ive seen recently was yakuza 0 which was uncracked for like a year

and it depends

[narrow comet]

@tired osprey the answer is graduation day, and congratulations

[tired osprey]

Yes thank you

🍪 for your answer

[vapid bluff]

it takes effort to do and people have only so much time to spend on each project

[tired osprey]

Still how do you know it's not my birthday!!!!

[narrow comet]

because

1/365 chance of me being wrong is pretty good

[tired osprey]

I see

No my birthday is in December

[narrow comet]

nice mine is in uh oh they're here

bang

gotta run bye

[tired osprey]

Sure....

Have fun I guess

[fierce mirage]

Workless member?

You got fired?

[tired osprey]

I am a 16 year old graduate of high school I never had a job

@narrow comet https://youtu.be/KLcRQCTL_Ng

[narrow comet]

you only graduated high school? loser

[fierce mirage]

Diploms' aren't that worth it tbh

[narrow comet]

internal visualization of Nix changes to small boy

[tired osprey]

I'm sorry for not skipping 3 more classes lyricly

[narrow comet]

in 6 measly years I'll be the same age as you Nix

[tired osprey]

I mean idk what our gymnasium is in English

Lyricly is 10?

[narrow comet]

no I'm accounting for you growing up too

silky

silly

[tired osprey]

Aha

Anyways

[narrow comet]

20 basically = 22

so

6 years

[tired osprey]

How is the thing called you go to before going to university for your bachelor?

[narrow comet]

eh?

[tired osprey]

Well here it goes

4 years elementary, 8 years what I finished today, university

[narrow comet]

sounds like a full timeline to me

wait what?

[tired osprey]

Hm?

[narrow comet]

I'm confused

[tired osprey]

How comes

Did you just add 8 and 4 and figured I'd have had to start school with 4 if I wanted to finish today?

@narrow comet talk to me!

Fucking new Zealanders

[narrow comet]

hello

I was putting pizza in

the airfryer

to eat

because I get hungry at noon

[tired osprey]

I see

[narrow comet]

I'm confused about what the point of conversation is

you just suddenly said 3 things

[tired osprey]

Finding out what I graduated from in your school system

So I'm not a little boy anymore

Obviously

[narrow comet]

I have no idea how any school system works

[tired osprey]

What about your own

Do you know your own school system

I'll take that as a no

[narrow comet]

@tired osprey no

I don't go

[tired osprey]

Yo don't go

Cool

I guess

[narrow comet]

cops haven't found me yet

jk

[tired osprey]

Lyricly I gave them your IP the other day

They're tracking your right now!

With a visual basic interface!

[narrow comet]

oniessssss

[vestal briar]

Um

Well I have a shit ton to learn and exams have finsihed, now it's just a nice boring wait until summer holidays

[rough sapphire]

I am sorry if it is against tos but I want to report this evil practice to discord so the question is if music bots are illegal then why does such famous bots exist and is providing link to copyrighted content against tos?

Because I know one bot and I want to report it

[sand goblet]

It's a legal grey area

[rough sapphire]

How can I do that

[sand goblet]

The bots are likely not illegal

in fact I'd argue that if those bots are illegal, then so are media players in general

It's down to how people use them

[rough sapphire]

@sand goblet then doesn't all the sites become legal

Bots provide access not a way to play what you own

[sand goblet]

Well, most people are playing stuff via youtube

Youtube already has provisions in place to try to ensure everyone is credited and gets paid, right?

so it's not their fault if someone abuses their API and skips the ads

[rough sapphire]

Right

[sand goblet]

and in fact you will find that youtube routinely puts bots behind a captcha when it detects them

[rough sapphire]

@sand goblet using its content is against tos

Use of it except the embed player is illegal

[sand goblet]

not illegal, but against ToS, sure

terms of service aren't legally binding

[rough sapphire]

@sand goblet and also it's API doesn't allow you download anything

[sand goblet]

not unless you have youtube red, yes

[rough sapphire]

What?

[sand goblet]

If you pay for youtube red, you can download stuff

[rough sapphire]

Last time I checked they can only give you the link to the video

@sand goblet but not through api

[sand goblet]

of course through API

how do you think the official players work?

magic?

[rough sapphire]

Maybe that are not available to public the @sand goblet

[sand goblet]

oh, sure, it's not documented

[rough sapphire]

In India videos can be downloaded without any subscription

Except music

[sand goblet]

anyway, the point is, the bot might be breaking the youtube ToS, but it isn't breaking the law

it's just doing what you tell it to do, and it isn't designed with the express idea of copyright infringement

[rough sapphire]

But that statement would make any site legit after all they technically have there own liencense attached to every video

[sand goblet]

No it wouldn't

Websites are distribution platforms

Due to what is known as safe harbour, they are offered protection against lawsuits over user generated content

As long as they take the appropriate measures when requested

that request comes from license holders, artists, that kind of thing

[rough sapphire]

Can we I talk to in DM I want to ask something

[sand goblet]

Yeah, sure

hey @lilac glade, @bleak lintel https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/06/28/recalled_macbook_injuries/

in case you haven't seen it yet

Last week Apple notified its fans that MacBook Pro notebooks made between 2015 and 2017 were prone to overheating batteries, and would need to be sent back to base and fixed. This was the second recall for the high-end notebooks, the first being to address the nightmare butterfly keyboard switches.

[gentle moss]

they're uhhh

[sand goblet]

also in the article: some pretty shitty customer treatment

[gentle moss]

not doing great on hardware recently

[sand goblet]

...under the UK Consumer Rights Act of 2015, customers are entitled to seek a partial or full refund for their purchase if a repair would cause significant inconvenience or take an inordinate amount of time. Though Bridges pointed out the rules to Apple's Ireland staff, the European arm of the iBiz denied his claim, only offering a small £100 credit along with the repair for his troubles.

[gentle moss]

rofl

so what have we had recently

the i9's being thermally throttled

[sand goblet]

the keyboards

[gentle moss]

dust ingress into iMacs

butterfly keys

now bad batteries

[sand goblet]

pretty great isn't it

this guy was a loyalist as well

20 years of brand loyalty

not anymore, I suspect

[gentle moss]

i mean when you charge that premium for the product

you expect it to not explode

especially when that's like their key thing

[bleak lintel]

Yeah I'm fine, mine is 2018

[gentle moss]

boss: "oh hey could you port over our ticketing server to our new Windows 2019 server on Saturday?"

me: "sure, shouldn't be a problem"

ENTIRE SERVER IS MISCONFIGURED

[languid kelp]

hey bisk how do you feel about wireLESS earphones

[gentle moss]

i guess they're good for convenience but i'll always prefer wired

[sand goblet]

Bluetooth earphones are great when you're out

Especially the true wireless ones with the insane charging cases

[gentle moss]

like i get the love for airpod type things

[sand goblet]

Also earbuds that support Google Assistant can do all kinds of shit

I don't mean a button, I mean explicit support

Stuff like live translation

[gentle moss]

that stuff is pretty cool

[sand goblet]

I have a pair of JAM Live True earbuds

I get maybe a good 5-6 hours per charge, and the case can give 20 full charges

So you're looking at 100-120 hours between charges

[gentle moss]

that's pretty good

phew, i'm pleased microsoft changed the reporting of shutdowns in Windows Server

no more mandatory messages

just a bigger selection of default options

windows servers are such a pig to troubleshoot problems on compared to linux

[sand goblet]

Yeah, unfortunately

[gentle moss]

starting to suspect it's not working due to caching though

YAY

caching, the enemy of doing anything

[sand goblet]

Well hey, this one might be amusing for ya

https://thefloridapost.com/outrage-after-fast-food-company-secretly-serves-unsuspecting-customers-meat-free-burger-patties/

That's pretty great, only one person noticed

[gentle moss]

haha

[wet steppe]

LOL

[gentle moss]

that's awesome

[wet steppe]

TBH it would be easy to tell that its not real meat

[gentle moss]

i mean, subversive and not great in terms of like

ethics

misleading consumers etc

and they're actually getting pretty good now apex

[wet steppe]

I've eaten a loooot of vege burgers over the years
and its kinda always obvious
maybe these new "impossible burgers" change that

[gentle moss]

meat free things

[wet steppe]

hm yeah I havent tried one of the super new tech ones

[gentle moss]

my biggest problem with that is eh

meat is gluten free

maybe the meat-free ones aren't

so from a dietary safety point of view maybe not great

but i guess it was a meat pizza so

[sand goblet]

Probably already had gluten yeah

Arby's is doing the opposite, which is hilarious

They've managed to create a fake carrot, looks and tastes like carrots, but it's entirely meat

I imagine the texture is different, but lol

[wet steppe]

I wanna try it

[gentle moss]

did you hear about the mich star restaurant that'd been putting Knorr chicken stock cubes into their vegan/veggie broths and shit?

the staff spoke up about it and they got fired

1. dick move for firing people for not being wankers

2. knorr chicken stock in a mich star restaurant

[sand goblet]

pretty sure knorr chicken stock isn't veggie

[gentle moss]

exactly

[lilac glade]

@sand goblet The MacBook is from 2014

[summer rampart]

oh wow
3) chicken stock in a vegan broth

[sand goblet]

nice, ref

lol

[wet steppe]

2) knorr chicken stock in a mich star restaurantlol I've seen even really "nice" restaurants cut corners on stuff

maybe not mich star though those do tend to be good

[gentle moss]

i remember i went to an expo in London

came around to lunch time so me and boss went to find somewhere to eat

empty classyish restaurant so we decide to dip in

see waitress squirting generic ketchup into heinz bottles

[sand goblet]

sounds about right

[gentle moss]

that's why i have such a fear of eating out

[summer rampart]

that’s why I only eat at McDonald’s

[gentle moss]

god damn i love little boots dj mixes

[proper dune]

@wet steppe Beyond Meat is very good. I encourage trying it specifically

[wet steppe]

hmm okay thanks

[sand goblet]

A lot of people say you should eat home cooking because takeout is unhealthy

I say, I can eat shit at home too!

[wet steppe]

lol

my friend used to deep fry chicken in giant pan

way less healthy than any fast food place

[gentle moss]

me and the gf had salmon and jacket potato the other day

with hollandaise sauce

like 3/4 a stick of butter in that sauce

¬_¬

[sand goblet]

Can't buy me, hot dog man

[tame pier]

Lol

[gentle moss]

haha

HE TOOK IT

AND THREW IT IN HIS MOUTH

[lilac glade]

Is that toaster cheese?

[sand goblet]

I'M NOT GONNA BE PART OF YOUR SYSTEM

No

[lilac glade]

[sand goblet]

This is actual grilled cheese

[lilac glade]

That... was very late.

And there we go, back in action.

[sand goblet]

Americans take a toasted cheese sandwich and call it a grilled cheese

But this is litereally cheese on toast under a grill

[gentle moss]

a.k.a.

cheese on toast

national dish of wales

[lilac glade]

Big rip.

And, no, to our normally-scheduled dentist appointment

[sand goblet]

Yep

[gentle moss]

you can tart up cheese on toast so many ways

it's brilliant

i like to pre-toast the toast, put some salsa on it, then put cheese on and grill it

[sand goblet]

I also pre-toast

[gentle moss]

gotta pre-toast, else it gets soggy

[sand goblet]

I had an ex that liked to toast only one side of the bread

We didn't last

[gentle moss]

O_O

[dry zenith]

esp32+lora+oled is actually impressive

had a little guy running for 2 days straight transmitting about 10 samples per second

and the powerbank still reads 100%

[narrow comet]

@sand goblet tbh that's just grilled cheese on toast

if you want a real grilled cheese drop the bread altogether

grill a block of cheese

[sand goblet]

that has its place too

Hey, look what's showed up https://fuchsia.dev/

there will be lots of new icons between now and then.

[sand goblet]

It's pretty yikes, yeah

[vestal briar]

Hm

Just gonna break half of the internet once again

[vapid bluff]

it's unenforceable

there's no way theyll be able to force every developer into that

[sand goblet]

some countries have done it

[vapid bluff]

what if people use apps made in other countries which arent in US jurisdiction? theyll have to censor traffic from those apps to ban them

thats its own can of worms

[vestal briar]

And a lot of things cant be updated anyway

[sand goblet]

europe will excommunicate them as well

[vestal briar]

I doubt theres a function that tells an embedded system to kill it's encryption when an unencrypted source tells it to

As end to end encryption will be banned :P

[wraith umbra]

I highly doubt that's going to go anywhere, but It's been quite a surprising couple of years.

[pine vector]

For the record, this is not a new conversation in the US...

I do agree that it likely won't get any more traction than previous attempts.

[sand goblet]

I'm sure we'll see something

It's hard to say what
