[10:28:37] + mapbot How cold?

[10:39:34] + mapbot Wow, where is this area? You can wear shorts in winter!

[10:43:06] + mapbot Type something in their letters!

[10:46:56] + mapbot random crits are fair and balanced

[11:03:37] + mapbot I did that when I was little, but now forgot pretty much everything,

[11:08:18] + mapbot I didn't like such things as a child. Seemed too disconnected from reality, highlighting that it's just a toy.

[11:10:37] + mapbot getimiskon, yes, but that was off-putting for me as a kid.

[11:10:51] + mapbot I'm not into programming now.

[11:14:15] + mapbot I'm actually regretting I didn't get Linux earlier, it has such a nice feel to it.

[11:14:59] + mapbot Though I still do most things in gui because otherwise I feel blind. I'm not even computer-literate, I just wanted privacy.

[11:16:28] + mapbot Yes, it is, just if you bother to learn the commands.

[11:18:01] + mapbot Yes, but it's not for everything for me. I do use some cli things, like exiftool and yt-dlp, but that's it. I'm studying physics, not IT.

[11:19:12] + mapbot But yeah, I see why knowledgeable people prefer it)

[11:20:05] + mapbot Why?

[16:09:49] + mapbot The next best option next to IRC is XMPP, simply because a) no bloat and b) FEDERATION.

[16:10:01] + mapbot Like, you can't host Discord server on a Pi at home!

[16:13:16] + mapbot TikTok is a creation of Satan simply because of the format.

[16:13:28] + mapbot Do you want a rant? Y/n

[16:13:55] + mapbot еггог

[16:14:38] + mapbot Okay, let me type. Sorry for being obvious, I just like to yell at the clouds.

[16:21:31] + mapbot The format itself is uncomfortable because not only are the videos themselves incredibly short (at least the majority of them), but also rapidly switch to another, without pause.

[16:21:31] + mapbot Just as you've concentrated, your attention is yanked away. No way this doesn't alter the brain for the worse. I've only observed this in public transport on others' phones (doing this to myself is risky, plus I don't want spyware on my device), but can't comprehend how this can even be consumed without confusion and overload.

[16:21:31] + mapbot There's also an issue of it being mobile-oriented: not only is it spyware on Facebook and Google's levels of creepiness, but also facilitates the addiction (and I know several addicts).

[16:22:14] + mapbot Oh wow.

[16:23:38] + mapbot One second, i upgraded my OS, I'll reboot.

[16:25:51] + mapbot I switched to Linux when I bought a new laptop because I wanted to buy it without an OS.

[16:26:37] + mapbot No Emojis? I'M ALL FOR THIS.

[16:27:07] + mapbot bublegumm, I used Debian and it seemed pretty easy. Now on Mint because Debian refused to work with my screen, and LMDE - with my wi-fi.

[16:27:36] + mapbot As for degoogling - well, I normally use only a dumbphone since everything can be done from laptop anyway.

[16:28:25] + mapbot I do have one, considering degoogling it with ADB at least, but not now. And don't know whether it would truly disable the majority of spying)

[16:30:12] + mapbot Like?

[16:30:42] + mapbot bublegumm, what are you doing in this regard now?

[16:31:03] + mapbot blitzed, well, what are your needs?

[16:31:18] + mapbot I had non-working wi-fi in a couple of distros, just switched to another.

[16:34:10] + mapbot bublegumm, always remember that "I cannot defeat all spying" is NOT an excuse, it's not a matter of "they know nothing" or "they know all". Also, have you switched to cash?

[16:35:16] + mapbot I started using it because Debian included Hexchat.

[16:35:51] + mapbot blitzed, but VPNs see all your ISP cannot. Though in some cases it is, indeed, preferrable.

[16:36:06] + mapbot By the way, I'm only in IRC for half a year.

[16:36:23] + mapbot blitzed, what do you mean? What happened?

[16:37:21] + mapbot blitzed, oh, it's that serious. Okay. And here it might shield you from outright danger.

[16:37:44] + mapbot ski, noe even first in the line, ski!

[16:37:58] + mapbot s/noe/not

[16:39:53] + mapbot ski, I already do. Sort of addicted, even. Maybe it's due to having exactly zero socialization. While it's not uncomfortable, apparently it might cause issues even with people like me.

[16:40:24] + mapbot BigHeadRC, isn't mirc paid? Imagine paying for software, lol. Or you downloaded it for free?

[16:41:58] + mapbot Okay. Still would not like to use a paid proprietary option if Hexchat/irssi is there.

[16:44:08] + mapbot What was that about? I am confused <blitzed> I used to use plain vanilla Debian, until they hopped aboard the systemd bandwagon thanks to Redhat? or was it Fedora, and Microsoft n junk bleh ;/

[16:45:15] + mapbot What's so bad? Spyware? Proprietary stuff?

[16:46:45] + mapbot Oh, didn't know that. Does Mint have similar problems?

[17:00:52] + mapbot !bang

[17:00:54] + mapbot !bang

[17:00:57] + mapbot !bang

[17:00:58] + mapbot !bang

[17:30:07] + mapbot !bang

[17:43:10] + mapbot No matter how I try, I just suck at programming because as soon as I'm next to the screen, I become braindead. Kek.

[17:50:02] + mapbot ski, what "writer's block"?

[17:55:16] + mapbot ski, no, it's not that. I'm just not workable in front of a screen. Usually I just do everything on paper, but that's not something that would work with programming.
