IRC Driven

[02:07:29] CrystalMath hi sushi-chan :)

[02:09:24] CrystalMath sushi-chan: i'm okay, you?

[02:10:34] CrystalMath hi Ahsoka :)

[02:16:38] CrystalMath Kerghnox: probably not

[02:16:46] CrystalMath but i mean nothing is 100% true

[02:16:57] CrystalMath the client program can still have bugs that don't require that

[02:17:12] CrystalMath i personally never allowed HTML mail, it's asking for trouble

[02:17:50] CrystalMath also all the unicode-based crashes

[02:18:04] CrystalMath like that mac bug from a while ago

[02:18:11] CrystalMath probably been half a decade or more :P

[02:18:21] CrystalMath or the GNU screen bug from a few years ago

[02:19:53] CrystalMath Kerghnox: well that just means someone's trying to reset your password

[02:20:00] CrystalMath it doesn't mean they got in

[02:20:13] CrystalMath and that just means they know your email (which is why you shouldn't reply to spam)

[02:20:51] CrystalMath if you reply to spam, they get a confirmation of what your email is, and then they use it for fraud and stuff, register you for more spam, sell it, and try to get your accounts

[02:22:15] CrystalMath sushi-chan: if you want to investigate viruses use a VM unless you really know what you're doing

[02:22:24] CrystalMath but if you knew what you were doing, you'd be using a VM anyway :P

[02:22:26] CrystalMath just in case

[02:22:48] CrystalMath sushi-chan: just don't try to open it

[02:22:54] CrystalMath opening the properties or whatever won't do anything

[02:32:40] CrystalMath sushi-chan: no

[02:32:45] CrystalMath we're just doing other things in parallel

[02:33:10] CrystalMath sushi-chan: really that's how IRC normally is

[02:33:13] CrystalMath people are always online

[02:33:16] CrystalMath but 99.9999% idle

[02:33:36] CrystalMath it's not like MSN, where people used to "appear offline" when they don't want to talk

[02:33:53] CrystalMath or to keep switching between that and online

[02:33:58] CrystalMath so that everyone gets a notification :P

[02:34:08] CrystalMath in the hope that someone will see it and chat

[02:38:07] CrystalMath sushi-chan: that's because you're OLD :P

[02:38:36] CrystalMath i'm kidding

[03:12:11] CrystalMath bic: in europe you can still buy DVDs

[03:12:28] CrystalMath 10 years ago you could still rent VHS

[03:12:44] CrystalMath why would anyone want that?

[03:12:53] CrystalMath sushi-chan: mine neither

[03:12:57] CrystalMath and what the hell is the point

[03:13:53] CrystalMath sushi-chan: why would that be needed

[03:13:59] CrystalMath like...

[03:14:00] CrystalMath 320x240

[03:14:02] CrystalMath is good enough

[03:14:15] CrystalMath the Microsoft Video 1 codec is good enough

[03:14:52] CrystalMath sushi-chan: true

[03:15:00] CrystalMath but there's a point beyond which eyes can't even see

[03:15:09] CrystalMath and it's wasteful

[03:17:34] CrystalMath i don't have any strong opinion

[03:22:37] CrystalMath bic: after a while you will notice that i'm not about saving the environment, but about pretending that it's the 1980s

[03:22:42] CrystalMath :P

[03:26:37] CrystalMath bic: i use matches

[03:26:52] CrystalMath bic: just like i use cassette tapes and floppy diskettes

[03:26:58] CrystalMath bic: and yeah, i seriously do

[04:23:07] CrystalMath this is the furthest from a tech support channel that i've ever seen

[04:23:26] CrystalMath it's a channel for friends of ComputerTech, named after him

[04:23:37] CrystalMath ski: true

[04:23:41] CrystalMath ComputerTech is somewhat into computer tech

[04:24:02] CrystalMath tbh it should have been called dave

[04:24:12] CrystalMath since his name is dave

[04:24:17] CrystalMath so it should just be #dave

[04:24:33] CrystalMath sushi-chan: and everywhere else

[04:25:09] CrystalMath the sky is blue in france

[04:26:02] CrystalMath sushi-chan: you can

[04:26:03] CrystalMath it's just harder

[04:26:55] CrystalMath sushi-chan: it can occur if both X chromosomes have the same issue

[04:27:01] CrystalMath but that's unlikely

[04:27:39] CrystalMath and it would mean that you have: 1) a colorblind father, 2) colorblind grandfather on your mother's side, 3) a bad luck in a coin toss 50:50

[04:27:42] CrystalMath all 3 at once

[04:28:24] CrystalMath ski: i explained the requirements :P

[04:29:01] CrystalMath sushi-chan: yes but that is not X-linked

[04:30:25] CrystalMath ski: and in a super unlikely stroke of a luck, a man can have Klinefelter syndrome and then also tetrachromacy

[04:30:37] CrystalMath ski: with a likelyhood of "probably happed 3 times so far in the universe"

[04:31:07] CrystalMath of course, having Klinefelter's means no kids

[04:31:23] CrystalMath so maybe it's not that much of a stroke of luck for some :P

[04:31:37] CrystalMath ski: Klinefelter syndrome

[04:31:40] CrystalMath bic: kinda

[04:32:03] CrystalMath ski: it's a situation where chromosome 23 has a trisomy, and it has two copies of X and one copy of Y

[04:32:10] CrystalMath ski: the result is male because ofthe Y

[04:33:02] CrystalMath sushi-chan: only female cats can be calico IIRC

[04:33:20] CrystalMath sushi-chan: this requires a double X chromosome

[04:33:21] CrystalMath but again

[04:33:29] CrystalMath a male cat with Klinefelter's can be calico

[04:33:34] CrystalMath it's just super unlikely

[04:33:46] CrystalMath sushi-chan: nothing i just randomly thought of it

[04:34:11] CrystalMath ski: yes

[04:34:20] CrystalMath bic: this is why she doesn't know what calico cats are!

[04:34:30] CrystalMath she's never seen any, she's only seen black and white cats

[04:34:40] CrystalMath i could tell sushi-chan i have a color laser printer

[04:34:44] CrystalMath and she'd never know the difference

[04:35:07] CrystalMath ski: colorblindness REALLY helps you save money on toner

[04:35:44] CrystalMath sushi-chan: true though they have great teeth very often

[04:35:55] CrystalMath but black skin color looks nothing like the night

[04:36:04] CrystalMath it's more of a dark brown

[04:36:13] CrystalMath it's different from the night sky quite a bit

[04:36:24] CrystalMath that's why thieves use dark blue masks and suits

[04:36:27] CrystalMath not fully black

[04:36:42] CrystalMath because they want to be invisible in the night

[04:37:07] CrystalMath ski: hey, no, i'm the random facts printer

[04:37:15] CrystalMath that was my line

[04:37:37] CrystalMath bic: nope

[04:38:01] CrystalMath ^ that wasn't my fault

[04:39:39] CrystalMath ski: ...whose father used (drugs) at a chemical factory

[04:40:03] CrystalMath ski: you forgot a word :P

[04:40:24] CrystalMath sushi-chan: yikes

[04:40:31] CrystalMath sushi-chan: that would be a great scene in a movie maybe

[04:40:36] CrystalMath sushi-chan: maybe like a really dark comedy

[04:41:14] CrystalMath bic: oh there was a joke i read here

[04:41:17] CrystalMath a dark joke from a bot

[04:41:25] CrystalMath it was pretty good

[04:41:38] CrystalMath i wonder if i'll get it if i run the bot

[04:41:54] CrystalMath not the one i was thinking of, still funny

[04:41:59] CrystalMath ugh

[04:42:01] CrystalMath twice in a row

[04:42:23] CrystalMath so the best one, i doubt i will get it randomly

[04:42:28] CrystalMath it's not this one

[04:43:12] CrystalMath it was something like... my girlfriend's dog died, so i got her one that's exactly the same, and she was still upset... she said: "what am i supposed to do with two dead dogs??"

[04:43:16] CrystalMath bic: ^

[04:43:50] CrystalMath sushi-chan: it's in idriven57

[04:43:57] CrystalMath ski: no, real ones

[04:44:07] CrystalMath uh oh :P

[04:44:18] CrystalMath yeah thought this would be unusually dark

[04:45:27] CrystalMath "sooshles"

[04:45:31] CrystalMath brilliant nickname :P

[04:45:54] CrystalMath ski: i'm pretty sure i watched like 500

[04:46:06] CrystalMath bic: you should definitely call your first daughter sooshles

[04:46:16] CrystalMath or like, second

[04:46:20] CrystalMath if you happen to have one

[04:46:38] CrystalMath bic: name her Sooshles

[05:21:48] CrystalMath bic: tbh, in the 2050s, when your daughter Soushles is born

[05:21:55] CrystalMath bic: she'll be made fun of for having such a *normal* name

[05:22:30] CrystalMath bic: and she'll complain that her millenial(?) parents didn't heed the word of President X Æ A-12 Musk

[05:22:48] CrystalMath that all names should follow the same rules as passwords

[05:23:12] CrystalMath contain at least one letter, capital letter, digit, special symbol, and unicode oddity

[05:23:34] CrystalMath and she'll complain about her extremely normal name Sooshles

[05:23:53] CrystalMath and he super conservative parents

[05:24:26] CrystalMath *her

[05:25:55] CrystalMath bic: yep, she said in 2060 that you don't even believe people can identify as ancient egyptian pyramids

[05:26:20] CrystalMath bic: lol

[05:26:37] CrystalMath bic: there's no duck

[05:26:51] CrystalMath well, i can't

[05:26:56] CrystalMath i don't even play that game

[05:27:03] CrystalMath i complain about the killing of ducks as an environmentalist

[05:27:19] CrystalMath (though as i said, i'm not a real environmentalist, i just play one on IRC)

[05:27:32] CrystalMath how?

[05:28:32] CrystalMath bic: you should be nice to the ducks

[05:28:38] CrystalMath switch over to the duck side

[05:28:50] CrystalMath bic: oh i just randomly studied it independently out of boredom

[05:29:18] CrystalMath CuckHunt

[05:29:31] CrystalMath someone also thought about how there should be a DickHunt

[05:29:45] CrystalMath bic: you don't know dave?

[05:30:13] CrystalMath bic: ComputerTech is dave

[05:30:44] CrystalMath bic: he's a sheep farmer from the southernmost parts of ireland

[05:31:16] CrystalMath bic: strange things do happen with his sheep, people say

[05:31:20] CrystalMath those are just rumors though

[05:31:56] CrystalMath nope, too afraid

[05:33:12] CrystalMath foxy is a lady yes

[05:35:11] CrystalMath David O'Donnell's "Southermost Point of Ireland" farm is a strange place

[05:36:51] CrystalMath it's just dave's farm, with his sheep

[05:36:59] CrystalMath you won't find it anywhere

[05:37:20] CrystalMath he doesn't want to attract attention, because of those rumors probably

[05:37:40] CrystalMath so it's not labeled on the map and there's no website or anything

[13:43:13] CrystalMath hi dave

[13:43:30] CrystalMath hi bic

[13:44:08] CrystalMath ComputerTech: Sir David O'Donnell

[15:14:24] CrystalMath a wendy's instructional video is better music than the entire top charts of 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZXeFPpPJeI

[15:18:20] CrystalMath 1989 btw

[15:18:37] CrystalMath things definitely got worse in the 90s later

[15:45:25] CrystalMath Kowal: a bit less

[15:45:44] CrystalMath honestly the stats have worked for the anti-lockdown anti-vax side since like may 2020

[15:46:05] CrystalMath ah, yes

[15:46:26] CrystalMath that's the per million population

[15:46:32] CrystalMath not cases

[19:43:26] CrystalMath ComputerTech: so that their name is up there i guess

[19:44:39] CrystalMath :P

[19:44:48] CrystalMath ComputerTech: what color?

[19:45:03] CrystalMath oh hmm

[19:45:07] CrystalMath i didn't see it

[19:45:24] CrystalMath okay i see it

[19:45:30] CrystalMath but it wasn't in the title

[19:46:22] CrystalMath okay got the original!

[19:46:25] CrystalMath for the first one

[19:46:58] CrystalMath two correct

[19:47:18] CrystalMath 3 correctly added

[19:48:23] CrystalMath there we go

[19:48:31] CrystalMath all the colors restored

[19:48:33] CrystalMath as they were

[19:49:55] CrystalMath it's case sensitive
