marteen: brendafdez:
i've been lurking there for a little while :)
mircea_popescu: anyway, turns out
i misread the data. it's "residents per sex offender".
ben_vulpes: can it be ptsd if
i'm still living the nightmare?
marteen: ben_vulpes:
i saw a reference to this channel on a mailing list

I subscribed to a linux for girls community a couple of months ago. Can't tell you what it's like
ben_vulpes: <indiancandy1_>
i dont get the wot thing mircea talkin about << righteous
marteen:
I shouldn't be awake for longer than 30 minutes :)
brendafdez: s, which
I spent many years of my childhood with.
brendafdez: Well, my first computer was a Pentium 100 Mhz with 8 MB RAM that my parents bought in 1996,
I stayed with that thing until 2005 or so. For many years that meant that
I used DOS and Win3.11 daily bc W98 was too much for that piece of hardware. Once around 1999/2000
I borrowed from a friend a linux book which came with a Red Hat CD but dual booting was not an option (also the HDD was like 500 MB). It brings back memories seeing those in
mircea_popescu: “You can feel good about our project without putting down other projects, so let’s keep it clean.”
I said something similar << this, for the record, is fucking stupid.
brendafdez: mircea, in all honesty what wasn't working was life to the point
I didn't want to go on (should've put an ad on gofundme but didn't occur to me). That was solved: social intereaction now is a whole different thing and it's much better. The fact that
I still don't get to have the sex
I like with the people
I like is a minor issue compared to social interaction being broken as a whole.
brendafdez: Anyway,
I don't think claiming it and presenting female so as to x would be a good strategy at all, if you don't prefer it, you'll end up changing your mind, because it's hard to put up with all the attached issues to being perceived a woman if you were only doing it for a specific purpose
mircea_popescu: pretty decent part of a play or something this. "so if
i become a woman will my sex work ?" "no, it still won't work" "So then ?" "well maybe you like it not working this way better."
brendafdez:
I can't keep in memory every single article all the time
brendafdez: you know, the whole betu thing sucks, and somteimes the coping strategy could well be 'fuck it,
i didn't even want it in the first place,
I'd rather be a woman where bug becomes feature'. Dunno, just speculating,
I hadn't given it much thought before.
mircea_popescu:
i wonder if
i could get tenure with a program on illiteracy.
mircea_popescu:
i like 69 as much as the next girl, but it never occured to me to pretend
i'm a tupolev airplanewhile doing it.
mircea_popescu:
i mean the entire "why do girls date assholes
i have a great sense of humor she doesn't know what she's missing" beta lament is one thing
mircea_popescu:
i don't actually keep that well indexed a list of this score
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
i think most recently it was "hey, this christian dude isn't all bad"
mircea_popescu: but
i gotta appreciate the delusion. really, lennart thinks he's me ? cool.
mircea_popescu: " have a thick skin (and so do most of the others involved in systemd, apparently), and
I figure that plays a major role why we managed to bring systemd to success, despite all the pressure in the opposite direction. "
mircea_popescu: this incidentally is pretty true :
i don't know that anyone sane would want anything to do with lennart and his horde of derps either.
mircea_popescu: o. Currently, the systemd community is fantastic, and
I really hope we can keep it that way."
mircea_popescu: "My personal conclusion out of all this is mostly just that
I don't want to have much to do with the worst offenders, and the communities they run. My involvement with the kernel community ended pretty much before it even started,
I never post on LKML, and haven't done in years. Also, in our own project we are policying posts. We regularly put a few folks on moderation on the mailing list, and we will continue to do s
brendafdez: mircea_popescu
I was just curious to see what it's like in a 'linux for girls' mailing list, but
I think they won't let me in if
I don'f affirm nicely enough

BingoBoingo:
I know you've fallen from *approved* to pending before.
brendafdez: But if there's something
I should know,
I'd rather do
brendafdez: guys,
I've seen gnome bashed security-wise a couple of times here in chan (or in the blogs,
I'm not sure). What's so wrong with it?
I'm really liking gnome-shell...
brendafdez:
i thought you'd write "it's hard not to interpret...", but it's ok this way too
i's say
mircea_popescu:
i suspect they just want to see if the... buoys actually float.
danielpbarron:
i don't mind putting *.ebay.com on my whitelist;
I do mind putting all the other crap
danielpbarron: right but the extra special login WILL NOT WORK unless
i disable cookie whitelisting
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron> lets me browse and think
i'm logged in, and then hits me with a login page for any meaningful action like placing a bid or even asking a question to the seller <<
I find this typical. To be fair
I'd rather it ask me to auth often and on actions. Ebay considered their auctions to be contracts.
danielpbarron: lets me browse and think
i'm logged in, and then hits me with a login page for any meaningful action like placing a bid or even asking a question to the seller
danielpbarron: wow, ebay is completely unusable unless
I turn off cookie whitelisting
assbot: You know,
I've had it up to here with this Indian malarkey.
☟︎ BingoBoingo:
I had a grey one passed it on to a younger brother. Ran ubuntu fine. Ran rather awesome with an SSD.
danielpbarron: This aver pink laptop is used and is very slow and old. It would be great to use for replacement items or even for a starter laptop. It does work it's just slow. <<
I can live with slow
brendafdez:
I was also asked to please not keep a public archive, but
I doubt they'll be letting me in
danielpbarron: lol no!
I mean this whole "we need you to affirm the following before we can continue" b.s.
danielpbarron:
i knew a chick that used ubuntu before
i had given up windows completely, and she wasn't ugly either! looking back on it that was quite exceptional

☟︎ danielpbarron:
i guess it wouldn't hurt to make an ubntu installer flash drive and use it to boot live and see if your hardware is supported by a linux kernel in general
danielpbarron: well my webcam worked on ubuntu so it would probably work on gentoo if
i recompiled my kernel to allow it
BingoBoingo: indiancandy1_:
I heard it was named after a dude who funded a bunch of scholarships. Don't see how there could be anything bad in that.
trinque:
I mean just to have something that boots to a thing with a mouse pointer
brendafdez: my first distro was ubuntu-based,
I wish
I had started with something else
brendafdez: Skype is rogue,
I gather there are safe(r) ways to run it anyway.
danielpbarron:
i can play youtube videos and do twitter / instagram / facebook / whatever
trinque: danielpbarron: yeah
I find that to be true as well
trinque: indiancandy1_: it's literally as simple as what
I typed
danielpbarron:
i guess before you do that, prepare a flash drive with an installer for openbsd or gentoo or something
trinque: indiancandy1_: that thing
I said
trinque: having not done so,
I'm aware of the lesson being taught
brendafdez:
i'm the nowest one around, that might be a faux pas...
