10:00 PM

@ByteCommander LOL. I wonder if silver would even set those off..

towc

let me play around with youtube a bit more to make sure it's actually working

yeah, youtube seems fine

Byte Commander

"Put everything metallic on that plate here, please!"
"Really everything?"
"Really everything."

RolandiXor

@ByteCommander "I have balls of steel."

Seth

@RolandiXor hahahaa

RolandiXor

(No, I never played the game)

Byte Commander

10:01 PM

@RolandiXor Prostheses?

Zacharee1

o_O

Byte Commander

:P

towc

I do get this in my dmesg:

last mac address is my headset's

RolandiXor

@ByteCommander genetics

@towc that's out of my turf

I don't really do much with bluetooth

towc

dw, wasn't aimed at you

and thanks already

RolandiXor

10:06 PM

Nathan Osman

@Seth and I want these why?

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman you don't want them.

You need them.

Nathan Osman

For...?

RolandiXor

They're made of the same material as the tinfoil 3000.

Zacharee1

stuff

edwinksl

10:07 PM

stuff?

stuff.

fluff

'nough

nuff*

Rough.

10:09 PM

That's like saying "the best emoji IS ALL OF THEM".

RolandiXor

lololol

Seth

@NathanOsman presumably to protect your fertility. It's still a debated subject whether and/or how much RF affects living tissue at various frequencies, power levels, and proximities. Pretty sure the politically correct answer is "it doesn't", but that doesn't stop people from doubting it (which I guess is a good thing?)

Nathan Osman

Have you all seen the Adobe VoCo video?

Zacharee1

no

Nathan Osman

10:11 PM

@Seth well we do know that RF doesn't produce ionizing radiation. It can heat tissue but this is very minimal.

#VoCo. Adobe MAX 2016 (Sneak Peeks) | Adobe Creative Cloud

what is it

Watch and see.

PS voiceover??

It's like Photoshop but for audio.

Make people say new things.

RolandiXor

Oh Lord...

Zacharee1

10:12 PM

@NathanOsman so dubbing software?

RolandiXor

Is this how they made Obama say "I'm going to take all of your guns."

Zacharee1

or does it actually change lip movements? o_O

Seth

@NathanOsman yes, it is non-ionizing. I'd argue that tissue heating isn't necessarily "minimal". Your microwave is quite good at it..

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 yeah except it actually works.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman need a TL;DW

@Seth personally, I don't plan on wearing my microwave around my waist

2

edwinksl

10:13 PM

"place"

Zacharee1

how tf

Nathan Osman

@Seth the microwave uses a little bit more power than your cellphone. Just a little bit :)

Seth

recall my earlier statement "at various frequencies, power levels, and proximities".

Nathan Osman

Fair enough.

I'm willing to concede we don't understand everything yet.

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth what if i don't want to protect my fertility?

Seth

10:14 PM

@Seth my only point was "non ionizing" does not mean "not dangerous at some level"

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe so long Kaz Jr.

Seth

lol

Kaz Wolfe

@NathanOsman trust me, that's a good thing

Zacharee1

o_O

Kaz Wolfe

imagine me with kids.

Nathan Osman

10:15 PM

Double lol.

Seth

@KazWolfe the government will love you?

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth no, i use Linux.

Seth

@KazWolfe oh they fixed that with systemd

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooo underwhelmed with this video.

Nathan Osman

Did someone just use "fix" and "systemd" in the same sentence?

Zacharee1

10:17 PM

@NathanOsman "fix" has more than one meaning

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth well, i'm still on the NSA watchlist.

Seth

@Zacharee1 that ^

edwinksl

gnome fixed many things

Kaz Wolfe

And, systemd is fun. It's quirky, but fun.

edwinksl

said nobody

Seth

10:17 PM

@KazWolfe along with the senators and other representatives?

Kaz Wolfe

@edwinksl You forget Gnome2

Nathan Osman

@RolandiXor but now we can release new movies with characters voiced by dead people.

Seth

@KazWolfe roulette style fun, yes.

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman yup. Only problem is, this technology has existed for a while.

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth eh, it does a good job for me.

Nathan Osman

10:18 PM

It has?

RolandiXor

They're just putting it in a nice program and charging people money for it.

Yup.

Nathan Osman

Dude. I must get my hands on this then.

Kaz Wolfe

Gnome2 was awesome, and I really miss it.

Seth

@KazWolfe MATE?

Nathan Osman

So much ~~world domination~~ work could benefit from this.

Kaz Wolfe

10:18 PM

@Seth doesn't do it justice

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman so it's a voice impersonator?

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman I don't have any links off hand, but it's already possible to do this. Probably just costs a lot more.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe yeah, me too.

@Zacharee1 something like that.

RolandiXor

And now it's going to be in the hands of some pretty nefarious people.

Kaz Wolfe

ooh, these fancy electric underwears were made in France.

RolandiXor

10:19 PM

All the more reason to hate living on this planet.

Kaz Wolfe

Totally a reason to buy.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe wat.

towc

meh. Honestly, screw gnome and similar

Kaz Wolfe

@RolandiXor well to be fair, smart nefarious people could have already done this.

Seth

So that's how Julian Assange has been doing those phone interviews. #conspiracytheory

RolandiXor

10:19 PM

@KazWolfe + rich.

Now, anyone who gets a monthly paycheck of any sort can do this.

Kaz Wolfe

@NathanOsman look at their website.

Nathan Osman

[alien guy] "Russians."

RolandiXor

Think about how wonderful that will be.

Kaz Wolfe

@RolandiXor eh, it was possible in FL studio/audacity, if you were smart.

and knew something about audio engineering.

RolandiXor

"You know what Obama said? He said he wants to kill every non-liberal! LISTEN!"

Nathan Osman

10:20 PM

Yes but smart people aren't the problem here.

RolandiXor

@KazWolfe well, that's also true.

Kaz Wolfe

@RolandiXor i'm like 67% sure fox news already did that.

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman exactly my concern :)

@KazWolfe hahahahahaha

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe "news"

RolandiXor

This is especially disconcerting at this time in the world's history :/

Nathan Osman

10:21 PM

@RolandiXor the one good thing is that the guy talked about technology to verify a recording is authentic.

Zacharee1

how does one

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 lol.

RolandiXor

Now any ~~idiot~~ person with money can pick this up and play with it and create lies about any group of people they hate.

@NathanOsman as if anyone will care ;)

Seth

@NathanOsman I didn't watch the movie, but provided enough samples this will probably become impossible soon.

Zacharee1

@RolandiXor 3 dashes

Nathan Osman

10:22 PM

@Zacharee1 don't ask me, I ain't got no PhD.

Kaz Wolfe

[PSA] If you think radiation automatically means things are harmful, go take an 8th grade science class please.

5

RolandiXor

That's company speak for "Read the fine print. If your wife dies because of this, you can't sue us. Punks."

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe I don't eat bananas because they emit radiation

Nathan Osman

@Seth cryptographic signatures on the waveforms?

Seth

@NathanOsman from a dead person?

RolandiXor

10:22 PM

@Zacharee1 oh yeah I forgot this isn't google

Zacharee1

lol

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 they actually do tho.

Kaz Wolfe

@RolandiXor pretty sure people already do that from blogging.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman I know

Seth

@KazWolfe light is technically radiation..

Zacharee1

10:23 PM

that's why I used them

Nathan Osman

@Seth he'll have to sign them right after recording them.

Kaz Wolfe

what with the awesome ... to hide "unimportant" parts of what people say.

RolandiXor

@KazWolfe yeah but with easily disproved photoshopped images and text.

Zacharee1

@Seth I don't use light because it's technically radiation

Seth

@NathanOsman doesn't work with public figures.. the media does the recording.

Nathan Osman

10:24 PM

@Zacharee1 "I can't see!"

RolandiXor

@Zacharee1 everything emits radiation xD

Zacharee1

@RolandiXor I don't live because I radiate heat

Nathan Osman

@Seth but all he has to do is sign the recording with a private key.

Then anyone can verify.

Kaz Wolfe

hey, everyone!

Ping @ByteCommander as much as possible!

Zacharee1

wai

Seth

10:24 PM

@NathanOsman if the media has the recording how can he do that?

Kaz Wolfe

He's playing World Of Tanks.

We should distract him.

Zacharee1

he's always playing

Nathan Osman

@ByteCommander obligatory ping

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander helu

Nathan Osman

@Seth they give it to him.

Kaz Wolfe

10:25 PM

plus, world of tanks isn't linux native.

Seth

@NathanOsman wait, we're trusting the media now?

Kaz Wolfe

Stop killing the Linux gaming industry, @ByteCommander!

RolandiXor

@Zacharee1 I don't radiate. Therefore:

Zacharee1

@Seth Owl City's Shooting Star is a lot like Katy Perry's Firework

RolandiXor

‮

Nathan Osman

10:25 PM

In a perfect world, nobody trusts what the media claims a person said until they also supply the signature.

Zacharee1

@RolandiXor I don't radiate; therefore, I ain't

5

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Heck. No.

Kaz Wolfe

In a perfect world, the media would report no biases.

Seth

@NathanOsman and people call me an idealist. :P

RolandiXor

@KazWolfe in a perfect world, media wouldn't exist.

Kaz Wolfe

10:26 PM

Every side would get perfectly even coverage, and people can make their own decisions.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman it really is. The music video is really similar and so is the message

Kaz Wolfe

@RolandiXor no, you need some way of getting data to people, but you can't include a bias.

Nathan Osman

@Seth well we need to work towards something :P

Zacharee1

@RolandiXor we need some sort of medium

Kaz Wolfe

and one with a focus on actually informing people instead of grabbing money.

Zacharee1

10:27 PM

@KazWolfe THEYRE ALL RUN BY MR KRABS

ILLERMINERTI CONFERMED

edwinksl

^

RolandiXor

@KazWolfe by media, I mean what we call media, like news media. In a perfect world, we'd all be connected - and thus knowing, make deductions for ourselves.

@edwinksl you know too much.

Zacharee1

banned

Seth

I need another monitor.

edwinksl

^

RolandiXor

10:28 PM

yup.

banned.

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth no, you need 8 more.

Seth

@RolandiXor eww

@KazWolfe touche

Kaz Wolfe

@RolandiXor can i do the honors?

Zacharee1

tooshy

Nathan Osman

@edwinksl is that the only working key on your keyboard? :D

RolandiXor

10:28 PM

I have 3 monitors.

(And no subwoofer)

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman take two keys for that

Nathan Osman

I have three but one of them is 7".

Zacharee1

@RolandiXor where did the subwoofer come into this

RolandiXor

:P

Nathan Osman

So I don't use it.

Seth

10:28 PM

@Zacharee1 that is not how you pronounce touche.

Kaz Wolfe

well, he can still communicate in unary or even binary.

RolandiXor

@Zacharee1 pun

Zacharee1

@Seth I know how to pronounce French

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 BWOM

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 on every keyboard layout?

Zacharee1

10:29 PM

@RolandiXor sigh

@NathanOsman Mr Khoo is in the US

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman well in that case, I lost count :D

Nathan Osman

Fish puns start in 3... 2...

NO.

Lol.

FISH FISH FISH FISH

10:30 PM

@Zacharee1 but apparently not transliterate it to English ;p

towc

well, there's definitely something going on between playing videos and enabling a2dp...

Zacharee1

@Seth nubcake doesnt know his yokez

RolandiXor

Two phones, 1 laptop, two 19" screens, three laptops that no longer work (but technically could if repaired - just that they are old), and one old monitor in need of dumping.

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 unsurprising

Zacharee1

I think I have maybe 12 CRT monitors lying around

Seth

10:30 PM

well I need to go read 35 pages of textbook and do 8 labs so ttyl

Zacharee1

with no way to get rid of them

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 combine them into one large display.

RolandiXor

@Seth sounds "fun"

Nathan Osman

Better yet, pull the tubes out.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman @NathanOsman that would literally kill my eyes

@NathanOsman I was thinking about throwing some rocks at them maybe

RolandiXor

10:31 PM

@Zacharee1 what eyes?

Zacharee1

@RolandiXor THE EYES THEY SEE

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 shoot them with a 22 round while they're on!

RolandiXor

D:

Kaz Wolfe

enjoy the fireworks

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe an implosion explosion :D

edwinksl

10:32 PM

@Zacharee1 glorious CRT. remember to degauss them

Zacharee1

@edwinksl wat

RolandiXor

NEVER

Nathan Osman

You can get some stupid high voltage out of the tubes.

Kaz Wolfe

@edwinksl BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG

Nathan Osman

A few thousand volts.

Zacharee1

10:33 PM

@NathanOsman I know

Zacharee1

@RolandiXor cant mods star on behalf of others?

RolandiXor

@Zacharee1 lol wut

Nathan Osman

So there you go. Next time someone criticizes you for using the Internet, tell them it "promotes psychosocial wellbeing".

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman it does.

Zacharee1

10:38 PM

@NathanOsman "[redacted] told me so!"

Nathan Osman

Lol.

@RolandiXor now tell me what it means :P

Zacharee1

Nathan Osman

So I know what I am doing to myself.

@Zacharee1 your jokes are always off the wall.

Zacharee1

what does that even mean

Nathan Osman

ba-dum-tshhh...

RolandiXor

10:40 PM

@NathanOsman all those likes on instagram improve your view of your own social standing.

Zacharee1

I count at least four of my jokes on the wall, sir.

RolandiXor

Instagram/FB/Google+/AUChat stardom == psychosocial wellbeing.

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 is a joke.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman you're a joke

oooh

Nathan Osman

@RolandiXor BUT I DON'T USE INSTAGRAM. MY LIFE IS INCOMPLETE.

Zacharee1

10:42 PM

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman :O

Lol I didn't use instagram until recently.

Nathan Osman

I am missing out on everything.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman trust me, you aint missing anything

RolandiXor

I though it was pointless.

I still think it's pointless, but at least I get to see insects in macro mode.

And cute chickens.

Nathan Osman

Stupid Facespace.

Zacharee1

10:43 PM

So we star dots, right?

RolandiXor

(Hint: I'm not that interested in people I don't know trying to be instagram models).

Zacharee1

Do we star stars? ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

RolandiXor

You ask for support and AMD replies:

@Zacharee1 on Steam?

@RolandiXor no no no, they say "at the end of the year" but withouth specifiying which year

@NathanOsman Look at Discord
