[05:22:41] <chromas> Didn't even know there's a new one
[06:01:03] <c0lo> Since July 30, 2025
[06:01:03] <c0lo> I'd pick it from a DVD rental for a crappy movies TGIF night - were any of these still exist.
[06:03:05] <c0lo> I mean, if ant DVD rentals were to still exist, I know for a fact TGIF do exist

[07:38:59] <Ingar> so it took me 5 minutes to take off the palstic cover yesterday, it took me 45 minutes to reconnect the god damn tiny power connector
[07:39:28] <Ingar> yeah my eyesight isn't wat it used to be
[07:40:22] <Ingar> c0lo: DVD rentals have been replaced with shady free content sites
[07:40:44] <Ingar> but, if you're interested, I ahve a shitload of DVDs and blurays from my mom
[08:10:16] <chromas> set up an ingestion box that auto rips any disc you put in and pushes the files to your couchpc
[08:15:46] <Ingar> almost, the couchpc _is_ the ingestion PC which will push fils to my raid array
[08:15:58] <Ingar> s/fils/files/
[08:16:21] <chromas> Every time you lose something in the couch, it actually slides down into the optical drive to be read and stored away
[08:16:35] <Ingar> :D
[08:16:44] <Ingar> the modern living room, it is awesome
[08:16:56] <chromas> "I can't find my keys"
[08:17:05] <chromas> New movie: Ingar's Keys (2025)
[08:25:34] * Ingar doesn't need keys, he opens doors through sheer power of mind
[08:44:33] <c0lo> Heh, no longer need a special night for horror/dystopian movies, the reality is advancing faster than fiction
[08:45:06] <chromas> fiction has better writing
[08:49:30] <c0lo> but reality has a better thrill, after all it happens to you and you can't rewind

[16:16:08] <systemd> ^ 03Europeans are TERRIFIED to come to America!
[16:19:12] <Ingar> yes, I consider it an authoritarian police state where you can get randomly fined and/or arrested
[18:59:20] <janrinok> If you can be arrested for expressing an unfavourable view on Trump via a internet account when you arrive in country - why would anyone want to visit America? Why do I have to give all my social media accounts. Why do I have to decrypt my laptop's hard drive?
[19:00:41] <janrinok> It is Americans who are terrified of anyone having a free thought or a viewpoint that is counter to their own. Witness the discussions on our own site.
[19:00:54] <janrinok> Americans have done this to themselves.
[19:05:12] <janrinok> It is how you are currently portraying yourselves to the world.
[19:10:04] <fab23> and if you do not have a social media account, you are suscpious anyway :)
[19:17:13] <janrinok> which I don't - unless you count SN
[19:26:34] <fab23> I guess they expect to get Facebook, π and friends what the non-techie humans are using.
[19:38:35] <Ingar> http://ingar.intranifty.net
[19:39:55] <fab23> this will be the warm spot for the cats :)
[21:18:34] <chromas> That's okay, we're catching up to the European countries where you get arrested for mean tweets or reporting physical abuse. I know, we're way behind the times
[21:22:31] <kolie> It is ( a minority subset of ) Americans who are terrified of anyone having a free thought or a viewpoint that is counter to their own. Witness the discussions on our own site.
[21:22:47] <kolie> ( some )Americans have done this to ( the rest of us ).
[21:23:17] <kolie> It is how ( the small very vocal minority ) are currently ( making a mockery of the us ) to the world
[21:23:46] <kolie> But thats the goal you know.
[21:24:17] <kolie> Highlight the divisiveness, amplifiy the with us against us rhetoric, and get people frothy.
[21:24:22] <kolie> Fuck all of it.
[21:24:36] <kolie> I almost responded in https://soylentnews.org
[21:24:36] <systemd> ^ 03Journal of day of the dalek (45994)
[21:25:15] <kolie> The problem will exist as long as there is a polarizing two party system.
[21:26:01] <kolie> No compromise and people forming their image to fit with traditional party choices.
[21:27:00] <kolie> What people need to start considering is just because you are a R that doesn't mean you can't vote for a D or that they are wrong, and that there is variety in the R and D land, and you know what? Limiting yourself to that view is in itself harmful.
[21:27:38] <kolie> breaking from party norms is demonized is a huge wtf
[21:27:40] <kolie> RHINO*
[21:27:53] <kolie> I mean god forbid anyone have an indepndent thought once in awhile.
[21:30:47] <kolie> Calling trump a fascist is a strawman probably. Certainly there is overlap in the fascist tendencies and trumps style, but that's not a binary choice either.
[21:32:29] <kolie> ultra-nationalist, yes. authoritarian / leadership cult, yes. Disdain for democratics institutes and norms, depends who you ask but sure looks like it. Identifying enemies and scape goats, definitely. Militarism, falls short here.
[21:33:37] <kolie> We are missing direct state control over economy, but we have him using authoritation/anti-democratic moves to manipulate the economy and policy.
[21:34:08] <kolie> Using ice and the national guard, I mean you can kind of say this is getting into paramilitary force / supression I Guess.
[21:35:13] <kolie> If you are going to label it, there are elemenets of fascism, but its more under the umbrella of populust/authoritarian with a mix of hyper-capitalism.
[21:35:32] <kolie> my 2c.
[21:35:39] <kolie> with inflation it's probably like 10c now.
[21:42:25] <kolie> I think we would've been better of if more than trumps ear got nicked. I can't for the life of my consider that the feel good bullshit the D party wants to push in and hand out to everyone is any better. Woke's gone to far.
[21:45:05] <kolie> When I'm cooked, the Alphas will be the only ones running the lobby, and they're gonna build a new meta that's pure sigma; all our cringe lore will be yeeted into the backrooms, no cap.

[23:16:04] <c0lo> Keep an eye on personalized mortgage rates
[23:28:23] <chromas> We don't even pay bills with USD here anymore; we just exchange nvidia cards. I just bought the week's groceries with an rtx 5050
[23:28:56] <chromas> they're great because they're worth more than the dollar, but worthless as video cards
[23:32:36] <c0lo> Shouldav cleared the cache of that browser of yours before buying those groceries
[23:33:21] <chromas> yeah but every time I reload, the dollar goes down
