RE: Ask the entrepreneurs advice
@polygeekery I hate haggling. I wish I could contract some third party to do haggle for me when buying something, but then they would haggle about their rate for haggling.

RE: Ellellator go up. Ellellator go down. Ellellator go up. Ellellator go down...
@tsaukpaetra I've been in an elevator that stopped somewhere between 20 and 30cm from where it should be and opened it's door. (That isn't a normal thing here). Good thing it was in an in an hospital parking space.

RE: TIL (about the Dark Arts of HTML)
I thought "open sores" was a term invented by @blakeyrat, but I found in a reddit comment that it was said by Robert Metcalfe:
The Open Source Movement's ideology is utopian balderdash [... that] reminds me of communism. [...] Linux [is like] organic software grown in utopia by spiritualists [...] When they bring organic fruit to market, you pay extra for small apples with open sores – the Open Sores Movement. When [Windows 2000] gets here, goodbye Linux.

@tsaukpaetra Locking it was . would have been to do nothing. And why no explanation.

RE: A fool and his not-really-money are soon parted
@scholrlea It's more like a investment bubble. In the end the result is the same, when you run out of fools it goes to hell.

RE: THE slightly ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE THREAD
The new world isn't discovered until 2100. Hitler conquered all Europe. The world is divided in two states, the unified Europe and the soviet union. A deal is made and they coexist peacefully. The soviet economy survive longer because they have all that middle east oil. Unicode is never invented.

RE: AI generated porn
@tsaukpaetra I'm faceblind. Saw the deepfake subreddit and it didn't look any difference than any other nsfw subreddit

RE: AI generated porn
@ben_lubar said in AI generated porn:
Meh. Call me when we have a Deep Dream style neural network that can turn any image into porn.
Currently, Deep Dream only supports turning images into eyeballs and dogs.

@julianlam said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):
I liked ON DELETE CASCADE back when I was slingin' PHP... it just made sense... although I probably couldn't say the same for the people who came after me.
That makes deletes too quick and impersonal for my taste.

@jbert said in In other news today...:
Poe or no?
Also, it's from 2013?It's in the "poe or no" field, but I found it an interesting conspiracy. Everybody already believed the NSA was spying everything, Echelon was already been exposed, etc. Why did he risk prison to reveal that? It could be to reinforce that [random conspiracy] didn't happen as it was denied by Snowden.

@heterodox said in Discussion of NodeBB Updates:
I can't even be bothered to upgrade it from phpBB 3.0.12 to 3.2.2
Does phpBB still require manual installation of plugins by modifying source code?
Only for plugins that do it wrong, but last time I checked that was a lot of plugins.

RE: DisplayPort is the world's biggest piece of shit
@tsaukpaetra said in DisplayPort is the world's biggest piece of shit:
@polygeekery You know, this would all be solved if Windows popped a notification like "Hey, we noticed your screens have changed a bit. Would you like to save your layout so if you magically get back to what it was before I can restore it for you?"
But, that would confuse way too many people...

You merikans are so arrogant. Maybe the indians aren't producing good coders fast enough to supply the demand, but eventually they'll replace all of us. Hopefully not in our lifetimes.

RE: Help me fix my partition (Linux)
@onyx If you successfully converted it, I think grub still wants a non-lvm boot partition, or so it happened last time I was messing with this stuff.

climate change meets the timecube
I found this gem when the guy posted this comment on slashdot:
Not a single cloud in the sky (or hurricane) comes from the water cycle we learned about in school anymore. It's all steam emitted from power plants, manipulated by Doppler/Nexrad. This kind of cloud cover did not exist 30-40 years ago. There is no global warming. This article is distracting psy-op bullshit and the people writing it should be lynched. WeatherWar101.com

Our police kills a lot more, but we're not "developed".
