@J.Ferreira never easy for me, because stuff she likes , like make up or parfumes and bags, are hard to choose . I'm not even talking about clothes .

Zacharee1

does she have any problems with it? Something she wants to be easier?

J. Ferreira

he does not know her style basically, he's a dude, it's normal

Zacharee1

(I meant the computer)

Serg

If I were knowledgeable in some Windows programming, maybe I could make an app. But I asked her multiple times, like "What kind of app would you like me to make" ,and since she only watches youtube and checks her russian facebook, there's nothing she can come up with

J. Ferreira

why dont you just do the same i did last tim

time

Zacharee1

2:02 AM

@Serg hybrid web wrapper

J. Ferreira

I was struggling with buying her a perfum as I am highly sensitive to smells

Serg

@Zacharee1 wrapper for what ?

J. Ferreira

and I just went to the employer of the store and asked which one was the best seller

Zacharee1

@Serg FB and YT at the same time

Nathan Osman

Find a nice landscape photo, have it enlarged, printed on something nice, and framed.

Would that work?

J. Ferreira

2:04 AM

you can buy one already made

there are a bunch of sites with canvas and stuff

Serg

@NathanOsman that would work , but 1 - I don't have color ink right now, 2 - I am limited to letter size of paper.

J. Ferreira

I like that a lot

Nathan Osman

Yeah, but if you take the picture it has a personal touch :)

@Serg I meant at a print shop.

J. Ferreira

I am not that into being that nice

Serg

@J.Ferreira she likes body mist type of parfumes

that's a good idea

edwinksl

2:05 AM

buy a battery pack for your mom if she plays pokemon go

J. Ferreira

go to a store and ask for the best seller for her age

Zacharee1

lol

Nathan Osman

lol

Serg

@edwinksl -______-

Nathan Osman

@edwinksl That worked for my mom (not for Pokemon, obviously, but for charging phones, cameras, etc.)

J. Ferreira

2:06 AM

you can always give her a cat xD

Nathan Osman

That's the opposite of giving :D She'll end up paying more than she's getting...

J. Ferreira

not in love pukes

Nathan Osman

Get her a green "eco-friendly" PC.

Zacharee1

If you get a cat when it's a kitten, it makes great company

Serg

@_@

But we already have a cat and a dog

Zacharee1

2:09 AM

@NathanOsman ha

J. Ferreira

cats are always a good company

edwinksl

even runs on unity

Serg

Also . . . that's a desktop

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 I've been wanting to start a company.

Zacharee1

@Serg ANoThER OnE

@NathanOsman shut up

Serg

2:10 AM

body mist is a great idea, she loves those . I could go to Victoria Secrets. But it's 8:15 pm already , everything will close up soon

J. Ferreira

a cat would be a great partner for your company

edwinksl

i am sure what your mom really wants is to meet your gf over a great meal

Serg

@edwinksl I do want that too, but I'm too broke to fly my gf here . . . or my mom there . . .

Nathan Osman

And speaking of great meal...

I choose bacon.

Journeyman Geek

lol

powerbanks are handy

J. Ferreira

2:11 AM

that's disgusting

Zacharee1

gimeh

J. Ferreira

sooo many pigggs

Nathan Osman

<--- never misses an opportunity to talk about bacon

edwinksl

bacon is the soul of america

Journeyman Geek

or one really big pig

Zacharee1

2:11 AM

@J.Ferreira that could probably all come from one

J. Ferreira

i'm a vegetarian

Journeyman Geek

stay clear of long pigs tho

Serg

Journeyman Geek

@J.Ferreira so am I!

J. Ferreira

chest bump

Nathan Osman

2:12 AM

@J.Ferreira Well, in that case, imagine meat-substitute bacon then.

J. Ferreira

I did love my bacon though

Zacharee1

BACON

2

GIMMEH MY 18% CHANCE OF CANCER

Journeyman Geek

wierd thing is I knew a meateater who hated bacon.

edwinksl

life is fatal anyway

2

Nathan Osman

I'd rather die full of bacon than not full of bacon.

2

edwinksl

2:13 AM

may as well go out with a bang

J. Ferreira

they scream like hell when about to be killed jezz

edwinksl

@NathanOsman good life philosophy

Journeyman Geek

@J.Ferreira ugh. Shit like that would upset me too much to even watch

J. Ferreira

you go with a bang and with thousands with pigs killed

Serg

@J.Ferreira my gf mostly eats veggies, she's not vegan but she prefers healthy style of eating . It's actually pretty nice. At first I was hesitant to go to veggiterian buffets while i was in China, but then . . .love changes everything

J. Ferreira

2:14 AM

When I was a child my grandfather actually had a pig of his killed and I watched that s* wasnt fun

Nathan Osman

"love changes everything" - can confirm.

J. Ferreira

even your love for bacon? or did the love for bacon changed everything?

Journeyman Geek

@J.Ferreira 0_0

Nathan Osman

I don't really want to find out.

Serg

@J.Ferreira let's just say , I still love bacon, but if I have to choose between going to a place with bacon and to a place my gf wants to visit, I'll choose my gf's place

Nathan Osman

2:16 AM

7 minutes to go on my Mageia install...

That's what... 2 hours so far?

So much waste.

Zacharee1

lol

at least you'e committed to fixing bugs

Nathan Osman

J. Ferreira

my bf eats meat and Im fine with that, I guess people put in their bodies what they choose to put and that works for everythign

Zacharee1

meat is not unhealthy

J. Ferreira

it highly depends on the quality of the meat

Serg

2:20 AM

Quality, freshness, type of meat

Zacharee1

yes, but the way you said that made it seem like you were saying meat is bad'

Serg

Nah, she means to say she doesn't like meat, but she's ok with her bf eating it

that's all

not bad, not good, just not her preference

Nathan Osman

Woohoo! Install is complete.

J. Ferreira

exactly. I do not enjoy vegans who keep on pushing veganism down people's throats

Zacharee1

eol askubuntu.com/questions/797597/…

@J.Ferreira I could make a vulgar joke about that...

but I'll leave it to @Serg or @KazWolfe

J. Ferreira

2:26 AM

how evolved of you

Nathan Osman

It won't boot.

Resets VM...

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira you don't follow the paleo diet? :)

J. Ferreira

that diet has meat in it

Serg

I should finish that script somehow . . . .

J. Ferreira

I eat what I want, I do not like restrictions of any form in any context

Zacharee1

2:28 AM

exactly

we're all sarcasm here btw'

edwinksl

we are rarely serious until the diamonds show up :)

Zacharee1

????

DIAMONDZ

J. Ferreira

are you all statisticians or just interested?

Zacharee1

wut?

edwinksl

^wrong chat?

i am interested in stats but that's not why i am here :)

Journeyman Geek

2:32 AM

Diamonds? WHERE? QUICK! HIDE THE NONALCOHOLIC BOOZE!

Zacharee1

lol

edwinksl

JG IN DA HOUSE, TIME TO HIDE YO

J. Ferreira

haha that makes a lot more sense now

all the computer suggestions xD

Zacharee1

:)

wut

what did you think we were?

J. Ferreira

hahaha

Zacharee1

2:34 AM

Heathens?

J. Ferreira

I was looking at the chats from the stats section of stackexchange

Journeyman Geek

@J.Ferreira I'm a lifelong vegetarian (lactovegan really), so I typically don't try to convert people ;p

J. Ferreira

that's good

Journeyman Geek

@Zacharee1 "damn dirty heathens. Why, I'll be. I'll have you know I actually bathe"

Zacharee1

YOU DO

edwinksl

2:36 AM

@J.Ferreira you are very welcome here though, sign up for an AU account and see all the good work we do ;)

Zacharee1

"good" that's a funny one

edwinksl

damn zach don't air dirty laundry in public

J. Ferreira

i dont whether I am nerdy enough to be here haha

Zacharee1

do you hate Apple and Windows?

J. Ferreira

not really

I am a loving person

I do hate apple's prices though

Journeyman Geek

2:38 AM

lol

I run windows most of the time. And fedora ;p

Zacharee1

OK, does Apple's business model of pretending the same device is something new while charging ridiculous prices for it?

and are you annoyed at how many issues Windows, the $200 OS, has?

Journeyman Geek

@Zacharee1 they do actually have a few nice hardware things. Sometimes.

Zacharee1

Windows?

J. Ferreira

so you people do not convert people into veganism but do convert them into something

Zacharee1

that's software

J. Ferreira

2:39 AM

I like my ipad

Journeyman Geek

well, MS's hardware is top notch.

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira UBUNTU OR DEATH

@JourneymanGeek MS has hardware?

Journeyman Geek

I was thinking apple and their really nice screens before anyone else

@Zacharee1 their mice are kinda legendary.

Zacharee1

ooh

Journeyman Geek

and the surface is a pretty good tablet

Zacharee1

2:40 AM

@JourneymanGeek Apple's Mac screens are terrible

Journeyman Geek

@Zacharee1 retina >_>

J. Ferreira

INSANITY

Zacharee1

They have staggered pixels or something weird and it's just painful for my eyes

Journeyman Geek

when most laptops were 1080p or (eww) 1366x768

J. Ferreira

I do not like Steve Jobs personally, but it's not the company's fauly the fact that people are idiots and buy every s* they sell just because it's a trend

Zacharee1

2:42 AM

not to mention the terrible color accuracy

Journeyman Geek

granted, I build my own desktops

and until recently, most of my laptops were thinkpads

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira they encourage it

@JourneymanGeek IBM?

or Lenovo by then?

J. Ferreira

of course they do, so do most companies

Journeyman Geek

Most recent one was lenovo

right before they messed up the best laptop keyboard in the business and went chiclet

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira Ubuntu doesn't encourage the idiots, but somehow we get them

@JourneymanGeek lol

Journeyman Geek

2:43 AM

of course, there's good chicklet keyboards

I love the one on my HP stream (great cheap netbook), but I find apple and asus versions unusable.

Zacharee1

I love the one on my laptop

J. Ferreira

people fall in love with design and apple is good at it

Journeyman Geek

My current object of lust is the razer blade stealth.

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira that and marketing

Journeyman Geek

My brother owns one. Its sweet

J. Ferreira

2:44 AM

It is also user friendly

Zacharee1

When the 5C was new, NYC had pretty much every bus station, payphone booth and subway ad space filled with 5C stuff

Journeyman Geek

@J.Ferreira I respectfully disagree. ;p

J. Ferreira

especially their ipads and iphones

you do?

Zacharee1

I have an iPad 3 on iOS 8.4. The thing is slow as hell

J. Ferreira

you are not representative of the population

Journeyman Geek

2:45 AM

I've find android easier to just pick up and use.

J. Ferreira

I have three tablets in my house and I only like mine

Nathan Osman

I love that Android is so easy to customize.

Zacharee1

I have an LG G2 which is a 2013 premium midrange phone and it's extremely quick on Cyanogenmod

J. Ferreira

and the retina screen made a heal of a difference

Journeyman Geek

@NathanOsman heh. Stockish android is a non negotiable feature for me

Zacharee1

2:46 AM

@NathanOsman that. too bad iOS users don't care

@JourneymanGeek Stock as in manufacturer stock or Stock as in vanilla?

Nathan Osman

Yeah, with Cyanogen, there's pretty much nothing you can't customize.

Journeyman Geek

@Zacharee1 vanilla

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira That's why I like the newer droid phones. Huge displays with high pixel densities :P

Journeyman Geek

My current phone is a moto G first gen. (essentially 99% stock, and anything not's a little android app)

Zacharee1

@JourneymanGeek why

Journeyman Geek

2:47 AM

next phone's a one plus 3

Zacharee1

oh wait

I get what you mean

J. Ferreira

I dont use my phone only pc and ipad

Zacharee1

I thought you said you didn't like vanilla

J. Ferreira

I do not care for phones

Journeyman Geek

@Zacharee1 as opposed to the wierd shit the chinese do.

Zacharee1

2:48 AM

@J.Ferreira if you had a 5.7" screen, you might reconsider :p

Nathan Osman

@J.Ferreira When you get one as big as my Nexus 6, (6") there really isn't much difference :D

Zacharee1

@JourneymanGeek isn't Oneplus Chinese?

Journeyman Geek

@J.Ferreira I'm on 2 x 27 inch screens on my desktop.

J. Ferreira

why would I have one though? If I have an ipad why spend more money on a phone?

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Yes.

Journeyman Geek

2:49 AM

@Zacharee1 nearly stock android tho

Nathan Osman

@J.Ferreira You can make calls with it?

Journeyman Geek

as opposed to the app drawerless skin xiomi does

J. Ferreira

I HATE talking on the phone

Journeyman Geek

(and I was SERIOUSLY looking at their stuff)

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira The Galaxy series has officially become cheaper than the iPhone

Journeyman Geek

2:49 AM

@J.Ferreira can't really put a tablet in your pocket

Zacharee1

double the specs and performance (quadruple if you CM it), for $100 less

Journeyman Geek

I mostly use my phone as a quick way to get online.

J. Ferreira

I am a girl I use a bag

Zacharee1

^^

J. Ferreira

dont need to fit stuff in my pocket

Journeyman Geek

2:50 AM

@J.Ferreira heh. In theory I could do that, I guess.

(manbags FTW)

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira with women's clothes these days, an iPod Nano wouldn't fit in your pocket

@JourneymanGeek *murse

J. Ferreira

like joey in friends FTW

Serg

I like OnePlus, that's all i have to say

edwinksl

pockets on women's clothes are a scam

Zacharee1

srsly tho

J. Ferreira

2:51 AM

I do not dress like a slut thank you very much

Journeyman Geek

@Zacharee1 a lot of my female friends complain about the lack of real pockets on women's clothes

Zacharee1

my sister has stuff with FAKE ZIPPERS

J. Ferreira

I'm from europe, not USA xD

Journeyman Geek

or worse, fake pockets.

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira do they have real pockets there?

Journeyman Geek

2:51 AM

@Zacharee1 I donno

Zacharee1

sry

Journeyman Geek

no girls in the family, and my mom wears a traditional saree

J. Ferreira

I choose clothe that has pocket though I do not use them to put my phone

Zacharee1

The US doesn't have real pockets for girls on anything

Nathan Osman

I don't buy things that don't have pockets.

Journeyman Geek

2:52 AM

my shorts tend to have big enough pockets to put a 7" tablet in tho ;p

J. Ferreira

Yes, of course we do, We sometimes have pockets in dresses

Journeyman Geek

not that I would

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira the EU sounds like a wonderful place

although GB might disagree

Nathan Osman

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, one person bumping into you would put a quick end to it.

J. Ferreira

Putting things in your pockets ruins them

Nathan Osman

2:53 AM

@Zacharee1 ???

Journeyman Geek

@NathanOsman its uncomfortable ;p

Zacharee1

gah

J. Ferreira

you keep on bumping into things or putting them with your keys

Journeyman Geek

@J.Ferreira what's the point of pockets then? ;p

Zacharee1

@JourneymanGeek that's what the clothes manufacturers in the US are thinking

J. Ferreira

2:53 AM

I have no problem with pockets, I just do not use them that is why I always use a bag

Journeyman Geek

I do keys + wallet + phone

Nathan Osman

^--- this

But not in the same pocket.

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira you're weird. You'll fit right in

Nathan Osman

Where are the lrelease and lupdate tools in Fedora???

Journeyman Geek

@NathanOsman wallet + phone in one, keys in another

heh

Nathan Osman

2:55 AM

@JourneymanGeek Close. I have wallet + keys in one, phone in the other.

Oh, and my transit card in with the phone.

Journeyman Geek

My dad needed a SD card. Asked me to buy one. I pulled one out of my spares box and passed it to him

my transit card's in my waller

Zacharee1

lol

J. Ferreira

hahaha

Nathan Osman

I don't like to reach into my wallet in public so I keep it separate.

Journeyman Geek

which blocks RFID, so I need to flip it open....

Nathan Osman

2:56 AM

Heh.

J. Ferreira

I'm not weird, Im a girl, girls always use bags

MENNN

Journeyman Geek

@J.Ferreira alas, we are oppressed by the matriachy ;p

Zacharee1

@J.Ferreira way to conform :p

Nathan Osman

How do you even search for package contents in Fedora???

Zacharee1

you go to AskUbuntu.com and ask

because you're oblivious to the name

Nathan Osman

2:57 AM

Riiiiiiiiight...

J. Ferreira

I deserved that

Zacharee1

see? sarcasm

just wait till @KazWolfe comes back

Nathan Osman

urpmf /usr/bin/lrelease

That looks like the command I need to use.

Zacharee1

urpmf lol

Nathan Osman

That's Mageia's package manager.

They have a separate command for installing, removing, and searching for packages.

Edity

2:58 AM

whats with the bacon?

Zacharee1

o_O

Edity

making me hungry :P

Nathan Osman

Me too.

J. Ferreira

Nathan Osman

He's still in the room... so we don't really know.

edwinksl

2:59 AM
