[00:00:19] % aloo_shu nothing better than sleeping in

[00:01:40] % aloo_shu 1 am here

[00:02:18] % aloo_shu 10 must be aus/nz?

[00:05:13] % aloo_shu haaaaaalf .. operatoh-or

[00:06:53] % aloo_shu fits my identity of being half-operational

[00:08:00] % aloo_shu has teh term originated on irc

[00:09:37] % aloo_shu I would perhaps consider giving away my half op laurels if I could gain official troll op status in exchange. is there an adequate nick prefix for troll ops?

[00:12:35] % aloo_shu but tbf, nothing beats a pink percent, I should totally waer that on a t-shirt

[00:13:53] % aloo_shu or work

[00:15:10] % aloo_shu omg now I got to think of that silly rick & morty episode

[00:16:25] % aloo_shu with the satanist masochist aliens celebrating Jerry singing that song without knowing the lyrics, because it's suffering

[00:18:02] % aloo_shu wasn't 'beautiful synthwave' an oxymoron, and that's why? >.<

[00:18:21] % aloo_shu no?

[00:19:22] % aloo_shu hm yeah you possibly wouldn't talk about your penis if you had a brain, so there

[00:21:11] % aloo_shu 8=D

[00:21:36] % aloo_shu irc is about minimalism and ascii

[00:23:35] % aloo_shu spoiled by futurama

[00:25:35] % aloo_shu I belive the keywords in this synopsis are 'her' and 'his'. who can guess how the movie's unfolding?

[00:25:55] % aloo_shu or, who can not guess it

[00:27:41] % aloo_shu well Im willing to bet one doge that there's a romance in the drama

[00:28:35] % aloo_shu perhaps with a 'luke, I am your father' plot twist

[00:30:02] % aloo_shu do humans think?

[00:30:08] % aloo_shu I'm finding precious little evidence

[00:31:43] % aloo_shu linuxuser: ++

[00:39:08] % aloo_shu btw, I'm totally happy that my 'new' toy, an actually very decent (logitech k380) bluetooth keyboard, is far further android backward compatible than the manufacturere states, that's allowing me to use a number more of my hand me down tablets as terminals and computers

[00:41:52] % aloo_shu well this now is an old amazon kindle fire HD 7" and I think that 'fireOS' is corresponding to 4.1 or 4.4

[00:43:09] % aloo_shu it definiltely works on a 5.1, 6.0 tab and a 7.0 phone, 7 is what logitech say bt is 3.0 'classic' whatever that means

[00:43:47] % aloo_shu it's all working, and I can see no good reason why these devices should be artificially obsoleted

[00:44:34] % aloo_shu a 2.3 phone is not working at all

[00:46:13] % aloo_shu and what's driving me bonkers, is the galaxy tab a4 with android 4.4.2 that *is* showing the correct pairing dialog, but abandoning with an error before one has time tp

[00:46:27] % aloo_shu time to type the confirmation code

[00:49:53] % aloo_shu I'd be willing to risk rooting if there was an easy fix for that, but it's an unpopular platform with an odd chipset that nobody wants to or can compile for, the few 'custom roms' around are mods only

[00:50:35] % aloo_shu i.e., not allwinner

[00:59:27] % aloo_shu linuxuser: nah I'd think 2.3 could have bluetooth keyboards, but doesn't offer the same pairing protection, probably anyone who sees the device when it's in pairing mode, could pair

[01:01:51] % aloo_shu would have to look that up, but hunting down what, a bluetooth 1.0 keyboad that's not yet yonder in the eternal typing grounds, won't be easy for me

[01:09:35] % aloo_shu thee are some foss apps like wifi keyboard, telnet keyoard that add an inout method to android, and listen on telnet, or run a simple web interface, but all of them think they need to strip characters or control key combos, so maybe I could edit the sources and have *some* external keyboard for my nice old gingerbead phones. but first, I'd want to find flat lenses like were in

[01:09:36] % aloo_shu use in the 80s, and ideally with a higher magnification ratio, so that I could blow up a 2.5" 640x480 display to say 10 or 12"

[01:24:13] % aloo_shu linuxuser: a) a vnc server on android requires root, I've only found one app implementing one, and it's buggy/not working for me, b) it's not so much about remoting as about using old phones as computers, making the 1W pseudo laptop capable of mailing, ircing, browsing, and hosting a music collection, or a local wikipedia mirror, a bunch of movies... like a raspi, only the

[01:24:14] % aloo_shu display is alraedy there, more connectivity, more power optimized, but unfortunately not being opensource/-platform enough to trivially run linux natively

[01:48:20] % aloo_shu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV7w5TaYjRA

[03:27:29] % aloo_shu np: Aaron Parks - Invisible Cinema (Album)

[03:28:17] % aloo_shu still phenomenal after so many years

[20:14:12] % aloo_shu ..nizza.. ..manchester..

[20:14:41] % aloo_shu 'only', like all sweeping generalizations, is always risky

[20:16:09] % aloo_shu using it on trumpians, you could reasonably claim you're only paying back, yet, two bads don't make one good, essential and often forgotten rule, you could even say of logic, not morale

[20:19:37] % aloo_shu that's why I'm having an issue with the entire alpha cult: logic mandates that somebody has to swallow if the cycle or chain reaction is to be ended

[20:20:41] % aloo_shu lol

[20:20:48] % aloo_shu rrrrawwwr!

[20:22:36] % aloo_shu if you want to peek around other cultures, try googling why shiva is having a blue throat :)

[20:23:02] % aloo_shu it's god

[20:23:06] % aloo_shu or a god

[20:24:31] % aloo_shu depending whether you're taking the occidental perspective, and are calling it a polytheism, or follw the oriental claim that all the deities are aspects of the divine

[20:27:07] % aloo_shu it's a classic muslim critique of christianity, 'what, monotheism, laughable, there's a father, a son, a holy host, mary, scores of saints to pray to' - hard to deny, so it's a how you are looking at this, perhaps the categories of monotheism and polytheism are flawed, since you could always do this logical 'aspects' transformation

[20:27:57] % aloo_shu ghost even

[20:29:17] % aloo_shu and then, islam has the prophet, too, besides allah, it's all a little childish

[20:35:43] % aloo_shu so well, shiva, deity or god at your choice, had to deal with a deadly poison, so the legend goes, that would have poisened the world, so he took the poison, and is since forced to neither swallow it nor spit it out, and that's the blue throat he's being depicted with

[20:36:32] % aloo_shu it's a pretty rich metaphor, I find
