[10:28:37] mapbot/rizon How cold?

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

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

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

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

[11:08:19] mapbot/rizon 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/rizon getimiskon, yes, but that was off-putting for me as a kid.

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

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

[11:14:59] mapbot/rizon 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/rizon Yes, it is, just if you bother to learn the commands.

[11:18:02] mapbot/rizon 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/rizon But yeah, I see why knowledgeable people prefer it)

[11:20:05] mapbot/rizon Why?

[16:09:50] mapbot/rizon The next best option next to IRC is XMPP, simply because a) no bloat and b) FEDERATION.

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

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

[16:13:29] mapbot/rizon Do you want a rant? Y/n

[16:13:55] mapbot/rizon еггог

[16:14:39] mapbot/rizon Okay, let me type. Sorry for being obvious, I just like to yell at the clouds.

[16:21:31] mapbot/rizon 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/rizon 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/rizon 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/rizon Oh wow.

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

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

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

[16:27:07] mapbot/rizon 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/rizon As for degoogling - well, I normally use only a dumbphone since everything can be done from laptop anyway.

[16:28:26] mapbot/rizon 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/rizon Like?

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

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

[16:31:19] mapbot/rizon I had non-working wi-fi in a couple of distros, just switched to another.

[16:34:10] mapbot/rizon 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/rizon I started using it because Debian included Hexchat.

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

[16:36:07] mapbot/rizon By the way, I'm only in IRC for half a year.

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

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

[16:37:45] mapbot/rizon ski, noe even first in the line, ski!

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

[16:39:53] mapbot/rizon 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/rizon BigHeadRC, isn't mirc paid? Imagine paying for software, lol. Or you downloaded it for free?

[16:41:59] mapbot/rizon Okay. Still would not like to use a paid proprietary option if Hexchat/irssi is there.

[16:44:08] mapbot/rizon 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/rizon What's so bad? Spyware? Proprietary stuff?

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

[17:00:52] mapbot/rizon !bang

[17:00:55] mapbot/rizon !bang

[17:00:57] mapbot/rizon !bang

[17:00:58] mapbot/rizon !bang

[17:30:07] mapbot/rizon !bang

[17:43:10] mapbot/rizon 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/rizon ski, what "writer's block"?

[17:55:16] mapbot/rizon 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.
