[00:50:38] <Runaway1956> Well, Fedora is fokked . . .
[00:51:01] <Runaway1956> Did updates, things were good enough
[00:51:23] <Runaway1956> attempted to install the video driver, it won't boot to a GUI
[00:51:57] <Runaway1956> after searching for awhile on the internet, I still haven't figured out how to get into a maintenance screen,
[00:52:24] <Runaway1956> only suggestion I found was to boot to the installation media then chroot in
[00:52:34] <Runaway1956> I said "screw it"
[00:52:38] <Runaway1956> Will try with another distro soon . . .
[00:55:51] <Runaway1956> Also - GuhNome sucks on Fedora - why they choose such a sucky Mac-like DE?

[06:31:38] <systemd> ^ 03The Truth About Runaway Kids
[06:45:12] <Runaway1956> Ari, you need to see the reply to your latest nonsensical post
[06:45:27] <Runaway1956> And, don't bother asking me "who is ari"
[06:45:39] <Runaway1956> enjoy your redundant mod
[06:52:45] <Runaway1956> Your story on runaways isn't much of a story. Some runaways are living in intolerable conditions at home, and *almost* anything that happens to them on the streets are better than living at home.
[06:53:30] <Runaway1956> Now and then a story surfaces, where the kids SHOULD HAVE run away.
[06:57:57] <Eratosthenes> I am not Ari, to whom are your speaking, you loathsome sack of excrement?
[07:00:12] -!- Runaway1975 [Runaway1975!~4713fb94@71.19.qyk.knr] has joined #soylent
[07:00:26] <Runaway1956> If your schtick was ever funny ari, that ended long ago.
[07:00:48] <Eratosthenes> Who is Ari?
[07:01:02] <Runaway1975> Yes, who is Ari?
[07:01:23] <Runaway1956> Ari is the moron who stares back at both of you when you look in the mirror.
[07:01:30] <Runaway1975> Are you surrounded by ghosts of those you have wronged, Runaway?
[07:01:57] <Runaway1956> Maybe in your dreams, you are haunted by people you have wronged.
[07:02:05] <Runaway1956> My ghosts all love me.
[07:02:23] <Eratosthenes> Succubae, then? Not surprising
[07:02:36] <Runaway1956> No, but you succ.
[07:03:33] <Eratosthenes> So when did you first create sockpuppets, Runaway1956? Inquiring minds (and admins) want to know!
[07:04:16] <Runaway1956> Go read the enquirer to satisfy your inquiring minds - however many minds you have, ari.
[07:05:17] <Eratosthenes> Again, not Ari. Check the IP hash, and all that other stuff they use to sniff out sockpuppets of the Runsaway.
[07:05:50] <Runaway1956> You should write a book on sock puppetry.
[07:06:09] <Eratosthenes> For you I get : Runaway1956 [I492@lyhj.vsegda.budet.freeznc.ru] Ruskies, still? Poor Runaway!
[07:06:23] * Runaway1956 yawns
[07:06:23] * MrPlow flips a Skittle into Runaway1956's gaping mouth
[07:07:26] <Runaway1956> I can change that at any time - I can come here through Switzerland, Zimbabwe, China, Brazil - - - but you know that as well as I do.
[07:08:15] <Eratosthenes> I understand. Anyone would be embarrassed by an IP that resolved to Arkansas, if that was even possible.
[07:09:38] <Runaway1975> Hmm, IP Arkansaws. Going to have to think on that a while, before I mosey on down to Walmart.
[07:10:39] <AzumaHazuki> who do you think you're fooling?
[07:11:09] <AzumaHazuki> this is getting fucking insulting
[07:11:46] <Runaway1956> That's what I keep telling him Zum-Zum!
[07:12:34] <Runaway1975> You mean Runaway is not who he says he is?

[07:18:07] <AzumaHazuki> Marissa, actually
[07:18:11] <arihashotsforzumi> you can spell it the same forward and backward
[07:18:13] <AzumaHazuki> take your meds and go to sleep
[07:18:28] <arihashotsforzumi> not you dummy, I'm talking to the idiot
[07:18:51] <Runaway1975> The last part of our message from on high was that coordinated modding would not be tolerated. So, we have two solentils, that can still mod, that decide that a particular post by our resident structural racist, Runaway, should be modded as "Troll". Possible, quite likey. Collusion? Or an attempt to censor reasonable moderation?
[07:19:20] <arihashotsforzumi> everyone on the internet knows that your real name is marissa van icky
[07:19:58] <arihashotsforzumi> You're saying that you still have two sockpuppets that haven't been banned?
[07:20:07] <Runaway1975> Millennials are really bad that way. Everyone knows that Runaway is Paul Cooper.
[07:20:09] <arihashotsforzumi> I'll be sure to bring that to admin's attention
[07:20:41] <arihashotsforzumi> and there you go, shitting on the floor again ari

[07:21:11] <Eratosthenes> For Pete's sake, who is Ari? He's not here.
[07:21:32] <AzumaHazuki> this is a display of self-referential faggotry that rivals the WWF
[07:21:39] <aridumberthanarock> ari is code for "split personality idiot"
[07:22:08] <aridumberthanarock> Did 'Zumi say "faggotry"? LMAO

[07:22:29] <AzumaHazuki> yes she did

[07:22:59] <chromas> How was it not already in your lexicon? Are you three?
[07:23:08] <Eratosthenes> Was gonna say, what does the World Wildlife Fund have to do with any of this?

[07:34:11] <chromas> 🎵 Ahhhhhhh...sperg-out! 🎵
[07:34:28] <intentionallyobtuse> better yet, I could connect with 30 clients from each of my machines!
[07:34:29] <aristarchus> Some have been bothered by the ability to change to arbitary nicks in IRC. Evidently Runaway is not one, unless someone uses a nick that has "runaway" in it.
[07:36:43] <aristarchus> And nice chromas is here, since he got janrinok to say it was all his fault, when actually, it has always been chromas's fault.
[07:36:55] <intentionallyobtuse> BTW, witnesses don't have rights
[07:37:17] <intentionallyobtuse> defendants get all the rights
[07:37:19] <chromas> I'll take the blame
[07:37:34] <chromas> I'll also suggest Azuma share her stash with you. I think you need it more than she ever will
[07:38:35] <Eratosthenes> Never saw the movie, eh? Any good lawyer know that when testimony tends to self-incrimination, they have alert the witness to the same. Runaway, you have rights.

[07:43:11] <intentionallyobtuse> I'll be done with it soon, and I can give it back

[22:31:37] <kyonko2> because my isp is republican
[22:32:07] <kyonko2> i got it installed on the debian crap on chromeos, no firefox allowed though
[22:32:57] <kyonko2> from my point of view, with geostationary satellite internet, you have to make with what you got, command line and HD audio streaming for corporate comms
[22:33:34] <kyonko2> no, i will not migrate for high speed internet, and i quit gaming when directx came out
[22:34:16] <kyonko2> "look dude, my voice is crystal clear over here, what more do you want, you can even hear i am wearing a mask!"
[22:34:59] <kyonko2> voip is still POTS or lower *cringe*
[22:35:07] <Bytram> I tether my cellphone to get online; I feel your pain!
[22:35:12] <kyonko2> do you?
[22:35:23] <kyonko2> i haven't done that since 2009, it was called gprs in 2g
[22:35:40] <kyonko2> *.tmodns.net
[22:35:49] <kyonko2> then I got pre-paid 3g for *.spcsdns.net
[22:36:32] <kyonko2> that was wimax, it was fast, but we are all bottlenecked to the microwave site that connects my mountain "city"
[22:37:13] <kyonko2> even the cable tv came through that site, everything does, centurylink (formerly qwest,uswest,mtn bell), mediacom and the cell telcos
[22:37:45] <kyonko2> you can afford an apartment in the big city, right?
[22:38:04] <kyonko2> or just try your luck in mexico!
[22:38:15] <kyonko2> they have fiber
[22:38:30] <kyonko2> over taxed, overloaded, but its not terrestrial microwave
[22:38:56] <kyonko2> i used dial up untill 2008, it was fun
[22:39:17] <kyonko2> peers would knock you off when your stream dropped from 5.6KByte
[22:39:43] <Bytram> yes, I do. Thankfully, I now no longer have 1x, but have been able to upgrade to 4G (IIRC) but bandwidth capped... still beats 1X which I used for a long time to do work on the site!
[22:39:59] <kyonko2> do you live in the woods?
[22:40:20] <kyonko2> I can't afford to find out how good the internet is in "Winterhaven, AZ"
[22:40:27] <kyonko2> but its very good in Flagstaff, AZ
[22:41:05] <kyonko2> well yes, you do work on the site, by command line and hearty scripting, but no fancy web interface is going to work
[22:41:23] <kyonko2> zerohedge is a terrible site
[22:41:43] <kyonko2> 100+ mb of data just to get on instagrams front page, the login
[22:41:58] <Bytram> there are woods nearby, but no. Too frugal to get cable TV and pay to watch so many ads! Don't normally watch TV any more.
[22:42:00] <kyonko2> twitter used to be light
[22:42:13] <kyonko2> yeah tv is junk now, I remember when it was good
[22:42:21] <FatPhil> zerohedge carries stories the msm won't carry, which can be useful. sometimes they're terrible garbage, but sometimes they're important stories that have been buried.
[22:42:24] <kyonko2> i grew up on basic cable on a border town
[22:42:42] <kyonko2> FatPhil: links2 works with zerohedge, with images!
[22:43:07] <Bytram> no twitter or instagram access on my phone... intentionally blocked.
[22:43:12] <kyonko2> i had zerohedge crash my chromebook and had to powercycle
[22:43:13] <FatPhil> oooh, I haven't checked that recently. I use their RSS feed, as their html page stopped working in palemoon last year.
[22:43:21] <kyonko2> ugh
[22:43:35] <kyonko2> just when I start getting comfortable with modern tech, it becomes obsolete
[22:43:52] <FatPhil> almost everything I have is obsolete
[22:44:05] <kyonko2> I don't know what modern android is, and I don't want to know but I own a phone for my "vax passport"
[22:44:22] <kyonko2> and obsolete tech is unusable by "normal people"
[22:44:39] <FatPhil> even the washing machine that plays stupid tunes was an end-of-line bargain when I ought it, and that's easily the most modern thing I have.
[22:45:01] <kyonko2> my dell ultrabooks play tunes when they are poweroff
[22:45:28] <kyonko2> and now I just learned about the AMD PSP lol wtf
[22:45:30] <kyonko2> why would anyone!
[22:45:37] <Bytram> On occasion, I'll load a link in my browser, temp allow a bypass for my ad-blocker, look at something, and then re-enable the blockers
[22:45:56] <kyonko2> oh I never lived that lifestyle, Bytram
[22:46:18] <kyonko2> I do like brave browser
[22:46:34] <kyonko2> but even then.... the javascript that is needed to just browse will kill your computer
[22:46:43] * Bytram despises tracking and ads of any kind!
[22:46:54] <kyonko2> well.... the government has my dna since 2007
[22:46:56] * kyonko2 knocks on wood
[22:47:02] <kyonko2> and no, it isn't "spit"
[22:47:21] <kyonko2> spit decomposes something fierce and nasty, terrible odor
[22:47:30] * Bytram goes back to working on the site
[22:48:01] <kyonko2> someone should make a HOWTO on how to get a site working... showing my age here
[22:48:13] <kyonko2> unless wordpress is good enough for you
[22:48:36] <kyonko2> i've been consuming wordpress sites for over 10 years and never seen a breach
[22:51:45] <Runaway1956> You don't see the breach before you consume the site
[22:51:59] <Runaway1956> the breach happens later, while you are digesting the site
[22:57:52] <kyonko2> yeah, and I store my CC #'s on sites too
[22:58:03] <kyonko2> I'm hardly a virgin pure perfect sample of humanity
[22:58:26] <kyonko2> but I heard a lot of people say wordpress is shit, and a lot of hard work for it not to be
[22:58:43] <kyonko2> so, I guess that just leaves you with facebook, twitter, instagram and youtube lol
[22:59:17] <kyonko2> how long have the pigs been tracking people with atm locations and credit/debit transactions?
[22:59:26] <Bytram> and SoylentNews!
[22:59:31] <kyonko2> oh but, your imaginary friend snitched on you!
[22:59:39] * Bytram goes back to work
[23:18:22] <chromas> Zerohedge is nice enough to put the full articles into the rss
[23:45:22] <kyonko2> oh yeah
[23:45:30] <kyonko2> thats some kind of code, chromas
[23:45:39] <kyonko2> but muh comments
[23:45:53] <kyonko2> i tried to sign up for zerohedge to comment, guess gmail isn't allowed
[23:46:15] <kyonko2> lots of comment sites and web forums reject gmail, but libera and rizon did not
[23:46:24] <kyonko2> freenode rip
[23:47:53] <kyonko2> zerohedge is one bizarre site, i know a lot of liberals visit and comment in the closet
[23:48:29] <kyonko2> but center-right atheists are the biggest commenters to counter balance the flat earth young earth american taliban
[23:48:52] <kyonko2> never forget 9-11-2021
[23:50:01] <kyonko2> uh oh, they don't fool around in the CIS, HUNDREDS DEAD
[23:50:13] <kyonko2> kazakhstan spies on your ssl/tls
[23:50:33] <FatPhil> not been able to read comments on ZH for about 3 years. Don't miss a thing.
[23:50:43] <kyonko2> if only mexico and brazil had the same balls, then the drug trade, the slave trade, and the DRUGGED UP SLAVE trade would end
[23:51:00] <kyonko2> FatPhil: the comments are the best part lol
[23:51:15] <FatPhil> Yeah, for about 2 weeks, and then you realise they're all on repeat.
[23:51:16] <kyonko2> lots of flat earther, young earth, "christtard" american taliban gun nuts
[23:52:11] <kyonko2> the taliban, they reproduce once before dying
[23:52:35] <kyonko2> something about reaching reproductive age, reproducing, and then dying while still in the orgasm
[23:52:54] <FatPhil> Did I tell you about the time I was in the pub last year where I was describing to my little group a new FE argument I'd seen and debunked earlier in the day, and where everyone else in the pub gradually started to stop their conversations and stare at me, because they didn't know I was reporting on someone else's lunacy?
[23:53:20] <FatPhil> Cos if I did, sorry for repeating, and if I didn't, now you know.
[23:55:39] <kyonko2> I just avoid getting problems by saying "its hard to prove"
[23:55:45] <kyonko2> and "and proof is mathematical"
[23:56:02] <kyonko2> this in in public settings with strangers
[23:56:30] <kyonko2> actual fighting is a serious crime and has been for decades
[23:58:15] <kyonko2> when the march 2020 crisis began in the mid-month, going out to see whats going on was not a good idea
[23:59:54] <kyonko2> i did see strangers from out of town coming in to see if we had stocked stores
