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

to write a code on
them, which he will provide
assbot: You know, I've had it up
to here with
this Indian malarkey.
☟︎ assbot: Hell, ain't we about more fucked
than a whore at closin'
time, huh?

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
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron:
To be fair
the
things were about $200 new
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Looks like
the auction just stated. also
the description is rather blah
danielpbarron: 20 bucks for one of
these
things? what's
the catch?
BingoBoingo doesn't know of anywhere other
than ebay
that routinely sells interesting computers.
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

tell you what it's like
☟︎ BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Her big issue is supporting
the cam
tools. Ubuntu is probably going
to be fine for
the camera in general, Iffier for skype. Probably not possible for her
to use all of
the
tools she could need for work on OpenBSD/Gentoo without going
through hell and rewriting some of
them.
brendafdez: resisting
the
temptation
to install it will be
to much
danielpbarron: do you have an old computer lying around
that you can use as your offline machine?
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.
brendafdez: head is starting
to ache, more coffee will do...
trinque: arch/gentoo/bsd ass
torture later
trinque: I mean just
to have something
that boots
to a
thing with a mouse pointer
BingoBoingo: Ubuntu is
traditional African software, from Rhodesia
brendafdez: it calls home and sends encrypted
traffic even when idle, so you never know what it's doing.
trinque: frankly a Ubuntu live cd is probably a more sensible first
try
brendafdez: Skype is rogue, I gather
there are safe(r) ways
to run it anyway.
brendafdez: if you absolutely want
to use skype, you can. All else you mention, you can.

twitter / instagram / facebook / whatever

take longer

to figure out :p
trinque: danielpbarron: installing an OS is going
to be
too much at once
brendafdez: you're scaring her, let her register
the nick before
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...
brendafdez: indiancandy1_ just wanted
to see if your nickname was actually squatted, it is.
trinque: gabriel_laddel: sir you've blocked
the influx of
tits

to NickServ and say register <password> <email>
trinque: asciilifeform: lol, just
the writer of HBO junk food
