IRC Driven

[04:13:18] melzz hi

[04:13:31] melzz i take it you all heard what's going on with discord?

[04:14:22] melzz i think they already had my id but they will never even fathom being able to pull my dignity out of my clammy dead hands

[04:15:02] melzz so i'm trying to gather everyone i know and build up enough of a social life on matrix and IRC to replace discord and getting off of the derailing train

[04:16:53] melzz im trying to replace it

[04:21:46] melzz i wanna try and get this stuff working on my laptop but i have no clue where to find: a usb adapter that supports both windows xp and modern wifi standards, a matrix client that runs on win xp, and the drivers for that stuff

[04:21:51] melzz im sure it's possible

[04:21:56] melzz and i will do it or die trying

[04:22:15] melzz going to irc might make me actually have a normal life too

[04:22:59] melzz discord to me is the equivalent of ipads to children

[04:23:21] melzz no im just saying i'll spend less time on it if it's less active

[04:23:28] melzz discord is just 24/7 instant dopamine

[04:23:33] melzz thats why my attention span is so shot

[04:24:12] melzz andpossiblymethusebutivebeencleanforlike4weeks

[04:25:17] melzz im actually trying though

[04:25:34] melzz my family and psychiatrist begged me to go to residential but i dont wanna lose my job i kinda enjoy it

[04:25:44] melzz it gives me some purpose in life even if it's scanning items and stocking shelvse

[04:27:03] melzz im surprised this channel is way more active than i thought

[04:27:14] melzz i thought i was going to have to convince people to host for me to get any IRC interaction

[04:27:29] melzz now its just a matter of convincing everyone i know to join mw

[04:28:04] melzz i'll warn you there will be a lot of people migrating in the coming weeks and months but if they have the knowledge and energy to set up IRC then they probably won't be THAT bad

[04:29:17] melzz i dont think it's going to be that m uch of a shitstorm for us

[04:29:34] melzz i know i'm literally one of them but theres a hell of a lot worse i could be doing and saying rn

[04:29:43] melzz hopefully you guys find me alright

[04:30:39] melzz damn i know this is annoying but that was like 9 years before i was born LOL

[04:33:38] melzz im surprised even you're here lol

[04:33:51] melzz i'm both nervous and excited to see the great irc revival of the 2020s

[04:34:20] melzz i know most of htem will go to telegram or signal but they can enjoy their depravity for all i care

[04:34:34] melzz i know i'm new here but i'll die in this channel

[04:34:46] melzz i am swearing allegiance to a simpler life

[04:35:38] melzz based

[04:35:57] melzz oh yea in advance sorry if i have a foreign cryptoethnographic accent

[04:36:56] melzz oi luv yew go' me

[04:37:02] melzz nah jkjk i'm from the us

[04:37:18] melzz I CAN BE AS LOUD AS I WANT I JSUT COME FROM A MORE POLITE STATE

[04:37:36] melzz WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETERRRRRRRRRR

[04:38:19] melzz i literally live my life a 1/4 mile at a time though thats how i gauge distance from an exit i just think i'm this many dragstrips away from my exit

[04:39:43] melzz actually i drive an old mom van but i have to live my life 1/4 mile at a time because gas is so fucking expensive

[04:40:06] melzz and i make $13 an hour and am being cucked out of work because my location is overstaffed

[04:40:12] melzz oh u poor thing

[04:40:21] melzz i mean im sure u could gap me i have less than 180hp

[04:40:30] melzz but i just lowk think electric cars r gay nd stupid

[04:40:42] melzz yea i know its bad but i genuinely have fun there

[04:41:24] melzz it wouldnt be bad if i could get back to 30 hours a week but they wont let me work extra because "waa waa our location is understaffed and i can't be assed to transfer you to other ones especially the one 20 minutes closer to your house"

[04:44:02] melzz when i made 30 hrs a week i made like i think $1250 a month which isnt much but considering that i'm fresh out of high school and reluctant to sign $30k away for college that isnt bad

[05:06:56] melzz hi

[05:07:06] melzz trying to see if i can get my laptop recording video

[05:13:39] melzz of me silly

[05:13:48] melzz my shiny new webcam

[05:54:33] melzz im back

[05:54:37] melzz i think it actually works!!

[06:00:48] melzz the capture software that comes with it and actually runs on xp is garbage so i have to do it in OBS

[16:44:05] melzz good morninge computertech

[16:47:36] melzz i'm gonna sue jose ole

[16:51:49] melzz microwave mexican food makes me shit

[16:55:02] melzz at least its not "america bad" from an american leftist perspective

[16:55:10] melzz i'm not even political im just tired of hearing it

[17:33:36] melzz im a generic 2020s internet faggot i listen to goreshit

[17:33:40] melzz (i would probably like vS)

[17:37:30] melzz i know this is sad but i have never seen anyone live

[17:37:30] melzz ever

[17:37:33] melzz until this august

[17:37:42] melzz i have tickets to see mcr for their 20 year black parade tour

[17:37:56] melzz i'm banking my entire life on it i WILL find aboyfriend there

[17:42:00] melzz im just tired of having no social life

[17:45:49] melzz fuk no i would be able to if i had an irl social life

[17:45:57] melzz instead i'm constantly isolated in my room

[17:48:41] melzz i dont know if my city is "known" for its parks but all of the parks here are nice even the realy small ones

[17:49:12] melzz >99% of residents live within a 10-minute walk of a park.

[17:49:15] melzz yeah i guess it is

[17:49:24] melzz im within 10 minutes walk of like 3 or 4 parks LOLL

[17:49:31] melzz thats why i like being in the inner city so much

[17:49:42] melzz i probably should

[17:50:55] melzz i want to go to the waterfalls but my family doesn't trust me on the train line that goes to it and idk if i wanna drive there something about that detracts from the experience imo

[17:52:16] melzz i wonder if im the youngest irc user in this day and age

[17:52:18] melzz i'm only 18

[17:56:30] melzz i've been a generally reclusive person for 2 years but i was only a complete shutin between graduating high school and last november

[17:56:49] melzz my parents basically insinuated "get a job" and i got paranoid and thought i was going to get kicked out so i scrambled to find something

[18:04:20] melzz Boliver: really? i'm surprised anyone above like 25 uses IRC in this day and age

[18:04:39] melzz im not

[18:04:41] melzz i have a job

[18:04:46] melzz i just dont have a social life

[18:04:54] melzz i kinda was to a certain extent

[18:05:34] melzz loulan: i'm deathly terrified of going back to school

[18:05:49] melzz AlterEgo_: it is if you're introverted

[18:06:02] melzz i was made to have a social life i'm just too shy to make friends

[18:07:09] melzz it did

[18:07:13] melzz 2020 ruined my generation

[18:07:43] melzz all of this happened because i've been addicted to pretty much anything i can get my hands on since i was like 15

[18:09:50] melzz loulan: it describes pretty much every politician in the history of this nation

[18:09:59] melzz anyone in power is going to be like that its just the nature of power and money itself

[18:10:13] melzz i love both of those

[18:10:22] melzz i have like 2 or 3 aic cds and an expensive nirvana box set

[18:13:38] melzz provided im not forgetting i have the album this is from

[18:13:46] melzz oh wait yeah i definitely do

[18:13:54] melzz i have jar of flies and their last album

[18:16:17] melzz i used to blare grind as loud as my cd player would go whenever my parents werent home during my senior year of hs lol

[18:17:06] melzz making an incredible music video rn

[18:20:17] melzz i love junkhead so m uch

[18:20:35] melzz i listened to that pretty much on repeat while trying to stay off of opiates

[18:35:01] melzz i reallyy wish i could do all of this stuff on my laptop

[18:35:13] melzz but at this point i can only use it for assembly and 3d pinball

[18:35:25] melzz i need to download some more ram onto it

[18:40:11] melzz i'm illiterate, is it against computertech/rizon rules to post something i uploaded on youtube? i just wanna show u my cool video

[18:40:56] melzz AlterEgo_: "no upload" as in don't upload or "no upload" as in "no, upload"?

[18:41:53] melzz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcvhGKmADvI

[18:42:17] melzz im sorry if u livei n russia u cant watch it putin is a loser and really hates bunnies for some reason

[18:44:42] melzz yes mel can into trance

[18:59:43] melzz peter: are you a discord refugee too?

[19:00:46] melzz im trying to convince my online friends to join me to no real avail

[19:01:04] melzz m probably oging to have to completely replace my online social circles

[19:02:38] melzz im probably the only one in here who wasnt alive to see the 90s or really even the 00s to be honest

[19:02:57] melzz i pretty much have spent all of the 20s on discord but once i can talk my plug off of it i'm ditching that sinking ship

[19:03:18] melzz once i leave discord hopefully i can actually engage in my hobbies again

[19:03:50] melzz i narrowly escaped all of the ipad kid shit

[19:04:17] melzz my attention span is fucked but its because i was falsely diagnosed with adhd and fed stimulants for so long that it basically gave me pseudo-adhd

[19:04:29] melzz i hate the pharmaceutical industry so much it ruined my life

[19:04:43] melzz i had so much potential

[19:05:17] melzz and unless i can get the closest thing i have to an IRL friend to pull his head out of his ass, i'm going to wind up relapsing and probably going insane

[19:07:02] melzz i want to find a cd copy of bleach but none of my local record stores seem to have it

[19:07:13] melzz i know its not exactly the most well known nirvana album but for god's sake it's nirvana

[19:08:00] melzz yea ik

[19:09:15] melzz i think theres a difference between tiktok kids ruining stuff and younger generations appreciating stuff

[19:09:20] melzz but idk maybe you guys don't see it that way

[19:09:26] melzz and if u do i perfectly understand

[19:09:30] melzz i try not to be annoying about it

[19:14:06] melzz im lucky i even know how to work a tape player LOL

[19:28:59] melzz i have to go to w*rk in a couple hours

[19:29:01] melzz fuck

[19:39:19] + melzz im back

[19:39:21] + melzz i made ravioli

[19:40:52] + melzz how fresh is chef boyardee? hes pretty fresh

[19:42:45] + melzz they should make chef boyardee for fatasses like me where each ravioli is a double ravioli i prefer that tecxture

[19:56:17] + melzz i wish i could actually sustain 6502 assembly as a hobby its way too complicated for my small brain

[19:57:13] + melzz :P

[20:02:27] + melzz i wanna get some kind of cli client going on my laptop just to use it as a terminal for when i can't be assed to get out of bed

[20:03:32] + melzz so my laptop has like

[20:03:40] + melzz idk how m uch but not a lot of ram

[20:03:51] + melzz and it can barely even handle my c64 emulator

[20:08:13] + melzz ugh im so bored

[20:08:27] + melzz s4s only entertains me for so long

[20:09:01] + melzz i'm not the only female that uses rizon wow

[20:09:04] + melzz im surprised

[20:10:18] + melzz im pretty sure there are way more women in less mainstream circles like this who are just afraid to say anything

[20:10:34] + melzz i mean it is 2026 so nobody gives a shit but i understand why

[20:10:49] + melzz i dont plan to go about making it my entire personality

[20:10:54] + melzz "uguu i am the 1%" o algo

[20:11:06] + melzz i just want to talk to people because i have no friends

[20:12:55] + melzz :-/

[20:14:03] + melzz i wish i had an actual money because amigas are so expensive

[20:14:44] + melzz i don't have $250 for a 1000 missing parts

[20:15:07] + melzz quiero morir

[20:17:33] + melzz do you guys think a brand new 3.5" fdd for $30 is like suspiciously cheap? will it be way too cheap quality?

[20:17:52] + melzz i know most modern 3.5" disks are no good but they're easier to find than 5,25" disks

[20:18:01] + melzz and plus i just think theyre cooler

[20:18:33] + melzz its a Teac FD235HF

[20:18:44] + melzz i wonder if i even have a port for this on any of my computers lol

[20:19:38] + melzz i know this might be stupid but i wonder if i could jerryrig a USB FDD into my drive port

[20:19:43] + melzz i have this weird usb port on my motherboard

[20:19:59] melzz i'm not an anything nerd lol dw

[20:20:11] + melzz i am extremely dumb and not knowledgeable in the slightest

[20:20:46] + melzz irc is insanely easy to setup lol

[20:21:50] + melzz that beings aid though i want to build a CLI pseudo-client for my laptop that behaves kind of like a dumb terminal

[20:23:25] + melzz i know absolutely nothing about software development but im sure if i can figure out how to use a USB or ethernet or something to send text between my two computers it c ant be that hard

[20:24:50] + melzz if i can ever cough up $30k i will go to community college for either software development or cybersec but its probably going to have to be the latter because these days if you're developing software you're developing AI

[20:25:43] + melzz what is sharey.org? i just dont like the idea of clicking on random links lol

[20:26:01] + melzz oh ok

[20:26:03] + melzz cool

[20:27:35] + melzz WAIT I THINK I FOUND SOMETHING

[20:27:49] + melzz idk if this will work with *my* laptop but do you know those really thin laptop cd drives?

[20:27:54] + melzz i found one but it's 3.5" floppy

[20:28:07] + melzz let me check the port

[20:29:51] + melzz wait im stupid i could proably figure out from device manager instead

[20:30:25] + melzz im too stupid for linux

[20:30:31] + melzz also i just like windows xo

[20:30:33] + melzz xp

[20:30:42] + melzz i tried already it just overwhelmed me

[20:31:45] + melzz i have a mint installation on this pc but its effectively useless because i can't figure out how to get it online

[20:31:53] + melzz i have to re install bc i accidentally deleted the wifi driver folder

[20:32:10] + melzz i dont really have the attention span to ever actually partake in my hobbies thats why i was on discord all the time

[20:33:19] + melzz Naemuti: sorry

[20:33:45] + melzz i rdont actualyl know much of anything about computers bc i try to learn something and then i get overwhelmed by the sheer amoiunt of information

[20:33:57] + melzz once again othe cirucumstances o algo

[20:34:09] + melzz i dont remember how to check what kind of port i have without taking the drive out so i'll just do that

[20:36:17] + melzz holy shit what a fucking loser

[20:36:27] + melzz i have to get ready for work soon fuck

[20:36:42] + melzz i need to figure out how to reinstall linux on this computera nd get it ont he internet

[21:04:38] + melzz i dotn want to listen to or watch anything i want to DO something

[21:06:08] + melzz anyways im assuming there is some way i can read information from my irc client, is there anything in pidgin itself that allows you to do that?

[21:07:28] + melzz on my ears?

[21:07:30] + melzz what

[21:07:32] + melzz oh
