[00:54:10] login what kind of bread do you eat, ComputerTech?

[03:28:21] login filling out government forms are so complicated

[03:28:32] login business record keeping and tax reporting is quite involved

[06:01:54] login turns out firefox has a bug

[06:02:11] login if i save a pdf, it 'double saves' it - once to Downloads, and once to where i actually saved it to

[06:02:54] login it wasn't a firefox bug, just the web application doing it

[19:01:15] login !bang

[19:01:59] login hi CT <3

[19:02:24] login just chillin

[19:16:28] login whoever said google teams use irc internally, you were right

[19:17:40] login But I think those are just the low-end teams - like Chrome or Android

[19:17:50] login At least some teams should be using https://workspace.google.com/resources/slack/

[19:17:56] login or Google Workspace in general

[19:23:30] login does it have a lid on top, ChRoNiC?

[19:24:41] login those do get emptied though

[21:10:23] login just saw a statistic that only 2% of the population can multitask without becoming impaired

[21:10:47] login Ahsoka: if he dies, tilde.green won't get renewed

[21:11:11] login and i don't know how much his parents and other loved ones know about his online haunts

[21:12:01] login his mum and dad would be devastated at putting 20 years of their life into their legacy, their younger son, and having such a catastrophic outcome

[21:12:53] login thinking about it may spur action in ComputerTech to speed his timeline of becoming financially independent and a capable adult up

[21:13:07] login it's just h4 assuming CT is back via timer

[21:13:25] login yeah

[21:13:44] login if he's happy away, it's alright Kuro-chan

[21:13:49] login mixing things up is rarely bad

[21:17:12] login h4: which statement?

[21:17:43] login should i have said 'i imagine his mum and dad'?

[21:40:27] login superb (mis)use of Angel

[21:53:51] login Was having a chat on another network's channel about procrastination and finding fulfilment

[21:54:16] login Have any of you any philosophy on what fulfilment is, and how one can find fulfilment in their lives

[22:03:22] login hey irish666

[22:27:03] login lying well is an art

[22:27:21] login you art

[22:27:29] login you art a liar

[22:34:35] login That cars normally have 4 seats might be a contributing factor to why it's seen as normal to have 2 children

[22:34:46] login 2 parents + 2 children

[22:47:21] login what about your genes, \g?

[22:47:25] login those will still be around in some form right?

[22:47:42] login ComputerTech: Angel may be brought online in 3023

[22:48:00] login just like we have old rogues brought online nowadays, and enthusiast old consoles

[22:48:19] login who knows whether humans can live up to 120 routinely or not

[22:49:03] login just keep fucking later in life

[22:49:13] login the gene pool will improve over multiple generations

[22:49:20] login to extend the 'healthy human' lifespan

[22:49:59] login we lived past the mayan calendar, so that's good

[22:50:38] login any large animals that live for 200+ years?

[22:52:13] login looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest-living_organisms#Other_terrestrial_and_pagophilic_animals

[22:52:24] login it seems land animals other than tortoises don't live that long

[22:53:11] login whales are aquatic though

[22:53:32] login if one considers a living being as an analogy for a civilisation

[22:53:48] login every cell in the human body is replaced per 5 years (or was it per decade)?

[22:54:48] login with sufficient error correction, living forever should be possible

[22:55:05] login shannon's law

[22:55:52] login one can calculate the shannon entropy

[22:56:53] login Chiester: you mean it increases

[22:56:56] login witches decrease entropy

[22:57:28] login the process of living is about regenerating cells and information loss in replication, right?

[22:57:55] login so, how much information (shannon entropy) is there in a human to replicate?

[22:58:18] login and gene replication does have (lots of) error correction mechanisms

[22:58:41] login the mutation is information loss

[22:59:22] login irish666: i think that age is intimately connected to the average age at which people have children

[23:00:40] login i think one could trace all kinds of economic cycles to the human generation cycle

[23:02:00] login ferridae: which OS?

[23:02:56] login What do you want to code in, ferridae?

[23:02:58] login Mono?

[23:03:49] login how would you make a GUI in Python, ferridae?

[23:04:52] login but they want to avoid web stuff

[23:04:57] login a python web server thing

[23:05:20] login > Not free! PyQt5 requires you to purchase a commercial licence.

[23:05:44] login maybe this? https://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter

[23:06:35] login or would you use wxPython?

[23:07:11] login illegal move

[23:08:41] login if only it were that easy

[23:09:32] login like this, Chiester, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krLdReeEV88?

[23:10:21] login > I'm 41 years old and i watch your videos to understand my child, thank you.

[23:10:40] login > To those who are wondering: yes, she does science.

[23:10:51] login lol, is science used as an euphemism now?

[23:14:02] login she's your age, ComputerTech

[23:16:46] login doesn't sweat release like some kind of antibacterial?

[23:17:07] login i thought they feasted on dead skin

[23:17:45] login so, just have a good skin microbiome

[23:18:12] login tattoos are permanent

[23:18:23] login they're associated with the underworld

[23:19:30] login ferridae: those anime weren't lying

[23:19:35] login \g: how else can you afford a house?

[23:19:40] login you need five-person incomes

[23:19:53] login it's the new multigenerational household, but the orthogonal version

[23:20:11] login one couple cannot afford a house anymore, so polyamory is needed economically

[23:21:51] login well, if one could own an asset that keeps up with rent, that would work too

[23:23:16] login \g: the employer is a landlord, aren't they?

[23:23:40] login it's a catch-22, you need a stable place to work a job, and work a job to afford a stable place

[23:24:20] login perhaps it's time to band up with a bunch of people and make your own place with your own hands

[23:24:22] login a mud house

[23:24:26] login rural style

[23:25:10] login i do too, ferridae

[23:25:14] login or at least, studied it

[23:26:30] login i bet someone is living an easy life from the sky-high rent

[23:28:37] login they make it illegal for 10+ people to share a small apartment

[23:29:43] login having datacentre level connectivity would have been so nice for homes

[23:30:14] login they would be niche enough to sell really well too

[23:30:27] login for the right person's requirements

[23:31:20] login but people buy cars and consider them necessary for moving around

[23:31:38] login even though, objectively, if living were rethought of in an urban way, they wouldn't be necessary

[23:32:02] login it's the same with internet connectivity and self-hosting servers

[23:32:16] login maintenance would be a nightmare though

[23:32:25] login that level of interconnectivity might even enable VR

[23:32:33] login and cloud gaming, and all the other stuff

[23:33:01] login it's nearly impossible ^

[23:34:45] login \g: isn't that why war is necessary?

[23:34:53] login so taht the old stuff can be destroyed to make way for new growth

[23:35:14] login or why the fall and rebirth of civilisations adds a resiliency

[23:35:24] login the same could be said of religion too

[23:35:40] login necessary from an evolutionary perspective

[23:36:01] login Chiester: the reason for syria not rising is because of the US monopoly on legitimacy

[23:36:12] login I mean, it took a war to get Paypal into Ukraine

[23:36:48] login The meme has the right idea, but not strictly true

[23:37:12] login In the past, there was a union of military superiority, economic planning superiority and political superiority

[23:37:43] login the monarch used to be a military guy, economic guy and political guy in one

[23:37:55] login \g: the recovery is dependent on achieving legitimacy from the rest of the world

[23:38:38] login Continuous war is bad, it's like having a fever

[23:39:16] login Another analogy is the 'war on discs' that phones and storage caused

[23:39:58] login irish666: isn't it a fund that pension funds buy?

[23:40:09] login so, indirectly owned by 100s of millions of people's pension funds

[23:40:50] login The real power is exercised through board votes

[23:41:03] login and proxy voting advisory firms

[23:41:23] login One has to think about why they can't vote using the shares that their pension fund owns?

[23:41:33] login *why one can't vote

[23:41:56] login There's no vote button on Robinhood either
