[2025-07-08T02:19:36Z] <midfavila> might have the custom distro up on the workstation by the end of the day
[2025-07-08T02:19:53Z] <midfavila> took a hammer to an old laptop because the stupid quick release mechanism for the bottom panel was busted
[2025-07-08T02:20:01Z] <midfavila> shoved the SSD in it in the workstation
[2025-07-08T02:20:18Z] <midfavila> i'm A+ certified btw this is a comptia approved repair methodology 
[2025-07-08T02:21:02Z] <midfavila> currently attempting to get the slackware generic kernel w/ necessary modules built in to boot
[2025-07-08T02:21:16Z] <midfavila> everything seems to be working save for uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the keyboard
[2025-07-08T02:21:17Z] <midfavila> lmao
[2025-07-08T02:23:55Z] <midfavila> next step after this is getting the distro to a point where it's daily-able, then porting it to aarch64, and then to rv64
[2025-07-08T02:24:23Z] <midfavila> at some point i need to harass clockworkpi to get their patches they made to wiringpi so i can figure out something with uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[2025-07-08T02:24:26Z] <midfavila> shit
[2025-07-08T02:24:36Z] <midfavila> i can't remember the name but there's a library in C that essentially does the same thing
[2025-07-08T02:25:05Z] <midfavila> they basically just routed all of the gpio pins on their mainboard to their expansion port so if the expansion port is in use you can't use your gpio
[2025-07-08T02:25:30Z] <midfavila> and you have to do this handshake over the gpio to the telecommunications expansion to get lte/gps/etc up and running
[2025-07-08T02:26:01Z] <midfavila> i'm going to be trying to get a program called mepo running
[2025-07-08T02:26:17Z] <midfavila> it's an openstreetmaps viewer and gps thingie written in zig
[2025-07-08T02:26:22Z] <midfavila> so that's interesting???
[2025-07-08T02:28:43Z] <midfavila> i think it uses sdl to render graphics which is understandable but also a bit of a shame. i'm going to try and tinker with it to get it to render straight to the framebuffer
[2025-07-08T02:30:05Z] <midfavila> libgpiod 
[2025-07-08T02:30:11Z] <midfavila> that's what i was going to replace wiringpi with
[2025-07-08T02:49:59Z] <kris_> busy guy
[2025-07-08T02:51:20Z] <midfavila> that's only scratching the surface
[2025-07-08T02:51:27Z] <midfavila> i have a whole laundry list of things i need to d
[2025-07-08T02:51:28Z] <midfavila> do
[2025-07-08T02:55:35Z] <kris_> yeah not surprised
[2025-07-08T02:55:39Z] <kris_> are you writing a package manager / build system
[2025-07-08T03:07:41Z] <midfavila> no 
[2025-07-08T03:07:58Z] <midfavila> i'm using z3bra's pm and i'm hoping to rewrite most of my packages in posix make
[2025-07-08T03:09:29Z] <midfavila> what i'd like to do in the future is go to a top level directory containing all of my package makefiles, do something like 'make riscv64-linux-musl', and then automagically build a cross-toolchain if necessary, build the core packages, and then build any specified additional packages, before shoving it all into a romfs and spitting that out to be written onto a given device of mine
[2025-07-08T03:15:07Z] <kris_> sounds neat
[2025-07-08T04:08:34Z] <midfavila> there we go
[2025-07-08T04:08:38Z] <midfavila> rootfs boots
[2025-07-08T04:08:48Z] <midfavila> can log in, edit files, compile stuff
[2025-07-08T04:12:01Z] <kris_> is this with your sbase + ubase setup
[2025-07-08T04:15:17Z] <midfavila> yes
[2025-07-08T04:15:33Z] <midfavila> sbase+ubase+some stuff from the bsds
[2025-07-08T04:15:39Z] <midfavila> couple of standalone things
[2025-07-08T04:15:53Z] <midfavila> plus gcc, pm, whatever
[2025-07-08T04:27:58Z] <midfavila> it feels really nice to have a simple setup again
[2025-07-08T04:28:19Z] <midfavila> where i'm like, able to memorise the entire package listing and how everything meshes together
[2025-07-08T04:28:50Z] <midfavila> gonna be able to experiment with conty finally too
[2025-07-08T04:28:56Z] <midfavila> steam on musl time
[2025-07-08T04:29:35Z] <kris_> no flatpak?
[2025-07-08T04:29:51Z] <kris_> also there's this too https://github.com/ivan-hc/Steam-appimage
[2025-07-08T04:29:57Z] <kris_> supposedly should work on musl
[2025-07-08T04:30:21Z] <midfavila> appimage and flatpak are both bloat and garbage and i won't touch them
[2025-07-08T04:30:26Z] * midfavila sniffs and turns his nose up at kris_ 
[2025-07-08T04:30:44Z] <kris_> that's two whole actions related to your nose
[2025-07-08T04:30:56Z] <midfavila> the nose can be very expressive
[2025-07-08T04:31:12Z] <kris_> that sentence is incredible and i don't know why
[2025-07-08T04:31:26Z] <kris_> i read that in buttheads voice from beavis and butthead
[2025-07-08T04:31:52Z] <midfavila> it's incredible because it's true
[2025-07-08T04:33:42Z] <kris_> i don't understand how there's not a single hairbrush in my whole house
[2025-07-08T04:33:57Z] <kris_> i'm aware that's like the most random fucking thing ever but yeah
[2025-07-08T05:46:47Z] <kris_> midfavila: thoughts on crux?
[2025-07-08T08:16:46Z] <sad_plan> kris_: crux is irrelevant. kiss is all that matters
[2025-07-08T09:12:12Z] <sewn> yippee
[2025-07-08T09:12:24Z] <sewn> kris_: I ended up not using kotlin
[2025-07-08T09:12:27Z] <sewn> am using dart
[2025-07-08T09:12:35Z] <sewn> in vscode flatpak
[2025-07-08T09:12:50Z] <sewn> surprisingly works and i can debug apps with phone
[2025-07-08T09:12:59Z] <sewn> not that its important because the app no longer has a purpose to me
[2025-07-08T09:13:09Z] <sewn> because bitwarden is too hard to replace
[2025-07-08T09:13:21Z] * kris_ happily using pass
[2025-07-08T09:13:29Z] * kris_ moderately happy anyway it leaks metadata like crazy
[2025-07-08T09:14:31Z] <sewn> I was using pass
[2025-07-08T09:14:39Z] <sewn> was nice but I didnt like gnupg
[2025-07-08T09:14:43Z] <sewn> so I wrote my own pass
[2025-07-08T09:14:46Z] <kris_> that is also my main complaint
[2025-07-08T09:14:47Z] <sewn> then didn't like the android app
[2025-07-08T09:14:50Z] <kris_> ive been considering writing one for a while
[2025-07-08T09:14:55Z] <kris_> i dont care about mobile though
[2025-07-08T09:14:59Z] <sewn> you can use passwordass
[2025-07-08T09:15:09Z] <sewn> which is pash (pass in POSIX by Dylan) with age encryption
[2025-07-08T09:15:12Z] <kris_> i'm enough of a stubborn idiot to sit here and type in 100+ character long passphrases on my phone manually
[2025-07-08T09:15:19Z] <sewn> or ketsu (but I don't maintain)
[2025-07-08T09:15:41Z] <sewn> but pa is more mainstream and they won the battle because I don't care hard enough
[2025-07-08T09:16:07Z] <sewn> my app is basically supposed to be age encryption pass because the only other app is gnupg
[2025-07-08T09:16:15Z] <sewn> and then I realize pass's design sucks
[2025-07-08T09:16:46Z] <sewn> so then I look into himitsu and im like wow this is good
[2025-07-08T09:16:58Z] <sewn> and then I look into kbs2 and I'm like ehh but better than pass atleast
[2025-07-08T09:17:10Z] <sewn> and then I sit wondering what I should use and if I should do it my way
[2025-07-08T09:17:22Z] <sewn> why am I repeating myself I already wrote everything in a blog post breh
[2025-07-08T09:17:47Z] <kris_> TIL you have a blog
[2025-07-08T09:17:55Z] <kris_> but yes, pass' design is horrible
[2025-07-08T09:17:59Z] <kris_> its just the least offensive thing ive found
[2025-07-08T09:18:14Z] <sewn> https://sewn.codeberg.page/blog/2025-07-02.html
[2025-07-08T09:18:16Z] <sewn> read it
[2025-07-08T10:20:28Z] <sad_plan> > laughs in keepass
[2025-07-08T10:20:53Z] <sad_plan> I was going to use /me though. damn
[2025-07-08T11:08:26Z] <kris_> sewn: i have consoomed your propaganda
[2025-07-08T11:08:44Z] <sewn> you deserve uppies
[2025-07-08T11:08:54Z] <kris_> i don't want them
[2025-07-08T11:09:14Z] <sewn> yes you dooo
[2025-07-08T11:37:54Z] <kris_> downies
[2025-07-08T11:38:00Z] <kris_> what would that be, laying on the ground?
[2025-07-08T12:09:53Z] <sewn> sitting like a cat
[2025-07-08T13:15:03Z] <sewn> https://github.com/dylanaraps/pfetch/issues/156
[2025-07-08T13:15:07Z] <sewn> only interaction i had with dylanaraps
[2025-07-08T13:15:10Z] <sewn> crazy
[2025-07-08T15:11:53Z] <midfavila> kris_: it's okay but also use kiss
[2025-07-08T15:55:36Z] <Vova> Hi, does any of you use oasislinux with kiss package manager ?
[2025-07-08T15:58:06Z] <sewn> sad_plan: 
[2025-07-08T19:09:47Z] <sewn> noooo il gone
[2025-07-08T19:32:13Z] <midfavila> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i hate ai i hate ai i hate ai i hate ai i hate ai
[2025-07-08T19:32:18Z] <midfavila> fucking demon technology
[2025-07-08T19:34:30Z] <sewn> i love ai
[2025-07-08T19:35:58Z] <midfavila> demon worshipper 
[2025-07-08T19:36:34Z] <kris_> AI techbros are funny acting like they like computers
[2025-07-08T19:36:43Z] <kris_> if they liked computers they wouldnt be trying to make humans not be involved
[2025-07-08T19:38:08Z] <midfavila> fuck i hate silicon valley 
[2025-07-08T19:38:10Z] <midfavila> and just like
[2025-07-08T19:38:14Z] <midfavila> all of this
[2025-07-08T19:38:32Z] <midfavila> i want to go back to tinkering with computers in my garage, not this shit
[2025-07-08T19:40:03Z] <kris_> ^
[2025-07-08T19:42:03Z] <midfavila> like i just want to work in the back of a repair shop and fiddle with jumpers and stuff
[2025-07-08T19:42:37Z] <midfavila> why do i have to care about the impact of AI on webapp security
[2025-07-08T19:42:45Z] <midfavila> because like i literally could not give less of a shit
[2025-07-08T19:42:46Z] <midfavila> full stop
[2025-07-08T19:42:49Z] <kris_> AI secured, AI pentested
[2025-07-08T19:42:51Z] <kris_> this is bad
[2025-07-08T19:43:00Z] * midfavila groans
[2025-07-08T19:43:07Z] <midfavila> security is already full of grifters
[2025-07-08T19:43:09Z] <midfavila> it's bad enough as is
[2025-07-08T19:43:14Z] <kris_> whats also bad is that some projects aren't making a clear statement about this
[2025-07-08T19:43:50Z] <midfavila> of course they're not they probably can't wait to "automate" their shit
[2025-07-08T19:44:01Z] <midfavila> the problem,
[2025-07-08T19:44:13Z] <midfavila> is that you can't fucking teach chatgpt to do maintenance work
[2025-07-08T19:44:24Z] <kris_> i mean foss projects
[2025-07-08T19:44:29Z] <midfavila> yes
[2025-07-08T19:44:30Z] <midfavila> i know
[2025-07-08T19:44:33Z] <kris_> void and chimera at least have just banned AI period
[2025-07-08T19:44:36Z] <kris_> i think gentoo did as well
[2025-07-08T19:44:41Z] <midfavila> hyperbola did too
[2025-07-08T19:44:44Z] <kris_> good
[2025-07-08T19:45:12Z] <midfavila> but yeah like idk man this is just exhausting
[2025-07-08T19:45:17Z] <kris_> also foss people who want AI working on their projects are such traitors its insane
[2025-07-08T19:45:29Z] <kris_> that's like ultra corpo bullshit
[2025-07-08T19:45:29Z] <midfavila> plus everyone is talkin about how AI is gonna "save so much money"
[2025-07-08T19:45:30Z] <midfavila> but like
[2025-07-08T19:45:32Z] <midfavila> save money for WHO
[2025-07-08T19:45:43Z] <midfavila> they're talking about TAKING YOUR FUCKING JOB YOU NUMPTY
[2025-07-08T19:45:45Z] <kris_> translated: "we don't have to pay employees"
[2025-07-08T19:46:10Z] <midfavila> companies don't even give a shit if LLMs produce inferior products because the point was never to make a good product
[2025-07-08T19:46:17Z] <midfavila> the point was to generate profit for shareholders and nothing else
[2025-07-08T19:47:19Z] <midfavila> if one "vibe coder" can haphazardly cobble shit together using an LLM and it works good enough to get the desired outcome, the company doesn't give a shit about efficiency, or reliability, or security, or anything
[2025-07-08T19:47:37Z] <kris_> did you hear about the king of startups
[2025-07-08T19:47:44Z] <midfavila> like when are people going to pull their fucking heads out of their asses and realise that letting rich fuckers run everything is just going to drive society into the goddamn ground
[2025-07-08T19:47:49Z] <midfavila> probably never
[2025-07-08T19:47:51Z] <kris_> i forget his name but there was this guy who got employed at like 5 different jobs as a programmer
[2025-07-08T19:47:55Z] <midfavila> because "back in my day!!!"
[2025-07-08T19:47:56Z] <kris_> did the absolute bare minimum at all of them
[2025-07-08T19:47:59Z] <kris_> raked in insane amounts of money
[2025-07-08T19:47:59Z] <midfavila> oh eah i saw that 
[2025-07-08T19:48:05Z] <kris_> everyone thinks this guy is such a major piece of shit but i can't help thinking it's based
[2025-07-08T19:48:08Z] <midfavila> during the lockdown tons of people did that
[2025-07-08T19:48:11Z] <midfavila> it's extremely based
[2025-07-08T19:48:15Z] <midfavila> anything that hurts corporations is good
[2025-07-08T19:48:23Z] <midfavila> like, large corpos
[2025-07-08T19:48:29Z] <kris_> yeah i said that in an IT career discord server and people were like "nooo this hurts people"
[2025-07-08T19:48:33Z] <kris_> not my kind ig
[2025-07-08T19:48:35Z] <midfavila> no,
[2025-07-08T19:48:39Z] <midfavila> the company hurts people
[2025-07-08T19:48:46Z] <midfavila> including its employees
[2025-07-08T19:48:49Z] <midfavila> all the time
[2025-07-08T19:48:53Z] <kris_> just think about like
[2025-07-08T19:48:59Z] <kris_> this guy had i know at least 4 jobs paying like 150k per year usd
[2025-07-08T19:49:04Z] <midfavila> based
[2025-07-08T19:49:04Z] <kris_> and he lives in **india**
[2025-07-08T19:49:06Z] <midfavila> holy fuck
[2025-07-08T19:49:08Z] <kris_> that man pulled in FUCKING MONEY
[2025-07-08T19:49:11Z] <midfavila> yeah
[2025-07-08T19:49:13Z] <kris_> before he got caught
[2025-07-08T19:49:17Z] <midfavila> lawyers in india only get like 5-10k a year
[2025-07-08T19:49:26Z] <midfavila> even if he got fined he's ballin' now
[2025-07-08T19:49:33Z] <kris_> i dont think he got in trouble at all
[2025-07-08T19:49:36Z] <kris_> he didnt do anything illegal
[2025-07-08T19:49:41Z] <midfavila> well, ofc 
[2025-07-08T19:49:41Z] <kris_> its not illegal to work at more than 1 job lol
[2025-07-08T19:49:56Z] <midfavila> but i wouldn't be surprised if some of the companies tried to sue for damages
[2025-07-08T19:50:13Z] <kris_> the main complaint im seeing is that he's just hammering home stereotypes against indians
[2025-07-08T19:50:29Z] <kris_> like some companies are now way way way more inclined to just shut down applications from indians who live in india
[2025-07-08T19:50:34Z] <kris_> but that sounds like a them issue
[2025-07-08T19:50:35Z] <kris_> to me
[2025-07-08T19:50:38Z] <kris_> them == the company
[2025-07-08T19:50:42Z] <midfavila> everything i see when it comes to people complaining about people from india is juts a cope that people from india do a better job
[2025-07-08T19:50:46Z] <midfavila> unironically
[2025-07-08T19:51:07Z] <midfavila> is it fair that some dude in delhi will take your job and do it for less and now you have to go flip burgers?
[2025-07-08T19:51:10Z] <midfavila> no
[2025-07-08T19:51:14Z] <midfavila> but also, that's free market capitalism
[2025-07-08T19:51:18Z] <midfavila> labour is a commodity under capitalism
[2025-07-08T19:51:27Z] <midfavila> if you hate being treated as a commodity, maybe fucking do something about it, moron
[2025-07-08T19:51:42Z] <midfavila> if you can't figure that out, be doomed to flip burgers for the rest of your days
[2025-07-08T19:51:43Z] <kris_> idk how the actual fuck i don't have a single spare hdmi cable
[2025-07-08T19:51:45Z] <midfavila> full stop
[2025-07-08T19:52:09Z] <midfavila> like
[2025-07-08T19:52:15Z] <midfavila> we could literally achieve full employment right now
[2025-07-08T19:52:17Z] <kris_> also jsyk he got away with that since 2022
[2025-07-08T19:52:29Z] <midfavila> gonna blow ur mind
[2025-07-08T19:52:35Z] <midfavila> with my strategy to fix the economy
[2025-07-08T19:52:36Z] <kris_> that's 1.8 mil usd
[2025-07-08T19:52:37Z] <kris_> lmfao
[2025-07-08T19:52:39Z] <midfavila> step one:
[2025-07-08T19:52:41Z] <kris_> that man will never have to work again
[2025-07-08T19:52:44Z] <kris_> if he stays in india
[2025-07-08T19:52:46Z] <midfavila> cut the work week to 20 hours 
[2025-07-08T19:52:53Z] <midfavila> with no reduction in pay
[2025-07-08T19:52:57Z] <midfavila> step two: 
[2025-07-08T19:53:05Z] <midfavila> now it's a jobseeker's market
[2025-07-08T19:53:14Z] <midfavila> if capital tries to flee, seize their assets
[2025-07-08T19:53:16Z] <midfavila> nationalise it
[2025-07-08T19:53:25Z] <midfavila> hire a bunch of people to work sickass public sector union jobs
[2025-07-08T19:53:32Z] <kris_> i concur
[2025-07-08T19:53:39Z] <kris_> tbh i wonder how the electricians union is
[2025-07-08T19:53:41Z] <midfavila> you don't need to do this bullshit economic handwavy shit
[2025-07-08T19:53:47Z] <kris_> i was thinking about seeing about becoming an electrician since they get paid really well here
[2025-07-08T19:53:56Z] <kris_> what stops me is mostly just having to go into peoples house
[2025-07-08T19:53:58Z] <midfavila> everyone always argues about muh planned economy but wtf do you think the military does
[2025-07-08T19:54:02Z] <midfavila> that's literally what rationing is
[2025-07-08T19:54:21Z] <kris_> i don't really understand wanting something that's unpredictable
[2025-07-08T19:54:38Z] <midfavila> people have been fuckin brainwashed into believing all this bullshit
[2025-07-08T19:54:56Z] <midfavila> maybe if i let them crank da grinda on me i can crank da grinda on someone else some day
[2025-07-08T19:55:27Z] <midfavila> it doesn't help that public education is dogshit
[2025-07-08T19:55:37Z] <kris_> i mean obviously not that's the point

[2025-07-08T19:57:11Z] <kris_> the question becomes do i install something on my GAMING!!!! laptop so i can entertain myself while im there
[2025-07-08T19:57:16Z] <kris_> or do i just take my t480 and work on stuff
[2025-07-08T19:57:20Z] <midfavila> GAMINNG

[2025-07-08T19:58:05Z] <midfavila> i hate computers i havte computers i hate computers i hate computers i hate computers i hate computers
[2025-07-08T19:58:20Z] <kris_> GAMING!!! laptop is a piece of shit though
[2025-07-08T19:58:23Z] <kris_> mostly just because nvidia gpu
[2025-07-08T19:58:29Z] <midfavila> >nv*dia
[2025-07-08T19:58:30Z] <kris_> its not the worst thing ever but it's a task to use it
[2025-07-08T19:58:46Z] <kris_> >40 minutes of battery life
[2025-07-08T19:58:55Z] <midfavila> wao
[2025-07-08T19:58:56Z] <kris_> >while browsing reddit and listening to music i mean
[2025-07-08T19:58:57Z] <midfavila> that's garbage
[2025-07-08T19:59:06Z] <kris_> yeah my t480 lasts unironically like 16 hours lol
[2025-07-08T19:59:09Z] <kris_> under the same workload
[2025-07-08T19:59:21Z] <midfavila> my a31p ran like 8 hours and it was a total shitbox that had a pentium 4 
[2025-07-08T19:59:22Z] <midfavila> lol
[2025-07-08T19:59:33Z] * kris_ loves his thinkpad

[2025-07-08T19:59:37Z] <midfavila> but still
[2025-07-08T19:59:45Z] <kris_> idk this gaming laptop was like
[2025-07-08T19:59:50Z] <kris_> im not that upset with it, it performs decently
[2025-07-08T19:59:55Z] <kris_> it was like $500 brand new
[2025-07-08T20:00:00Z] <midfavila> gaming thinkpad
[2025-07-08T20:00:02Z] <kris_> great performance, great display
[2025-07-08T20:00:05Z] <kris_> everything else about it is ass
[2025-07-08T20:00:12Z] <kris_> gotta take a hit somewhere for it to be that cheap brand new
[2025-07-08T20:00:28Z] <midfavila> ngl im just gonna stick with my mnt reform
[2025-07-08T20:00:39Z] <midfavila> laptops were never meant to play muh games
[2025-07-08T20:00:40Z] <kris_> also its not like i outright can't entertain myself with a t480
[2025-07-08T20:00:47Z] <midfavila> i mean
[2025-07-08T20:00:50Z] <kris_> i can emulate ps1 and n64 and wii and gamecube and itll run completely fine
[2025-07-08T20:00:56Z] <midfavila> i would imagine you would just play with the keyboard
[2025-07-08T20:00:57Z] <midfavila> tbqh
[2025-07-08T20:00:58Z] <midfavila> :3c
[2025-07-08T20:01:08Z] <kris_> oh im thinking about doing a keyboard build just to take with me for 2 days lmfao
[2025-07-08T20:01:19Z] <kris_> i have a shit ton of spare parts, i just need to assemble them
[2025-07-08T20:01:20Z] <midfavila> might as well
[2025-07-08T20:01:30Z] <kris_> most of this shit im gonna just leave over there
[2025-07-08T20:01:40Z] <kris_> dude
[2025-07-08T20:01:47Z] <kris_> so this spare monitor i have is a 24" 1080p 100hz IPS
[2025-07-08T20:01:52Z] <kris_> i paid like $60 for it new, its insane how cheap monitors are
[2025-07-08T20:01:54Z] <midfavila> buwaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
[2025-07-08T20:01:57Z] <midfavila> crazy
[2025-07-08T20:02:00Z] <midfavila> = w=
[2025-07-08T20:02:02Z] <kris_> i hate LCDs but
[2025-07-08T20:02:04Z] <kris_> yeah
[2025-07-08T20:02:11Z] <midfavila> you would hate my monitors lol
[2025-07-08T20:02:15Z] <kris_> probably
[2025-07-08T20:02:17Z] <kris_> i daily drive an oled
[2025-07-08T20:02:44Z] <midfavila> i think i told you i have three medical monitors i pulled out of a pile of garbage lmao
[2025-07-08T20:02:52Z] <kris_> you did
[2025-07-08T20:02:55Z] <kris_> and i think that's the most based shit ever
[2025-07-08T20:02:58Z] <midfavila> native res of 1536x2048!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[2025-07-08T20:02:59Z] <kris_> >see monitor
[2025-07-08T20:03:01Z] <kris_> >someone threw it out
[2025-07-08T20:03:03Z] <kris_> >perfectly good
[2025-07-08T20:03:10Z] <kris_> id take them too
[2025-07-08T20:03:32Z] <midfavila> i wanna get like, a midsize TV and mount it on the wall above my monitors
[2025-07-08T20:03:35Z] <kris_> man my mouse isnt going to get here in time
[2025-07-08T20:03:36Z] <midfavila> like a curved tv or whatever
[2025-07-08T20:03:45Z] <kris_> amazon outright lies about their delivery dates
[2025-07-08T20:03:57Z] <kris_> infact they're getting sued for it i think lol
[2025-07-08T20:03:57Z] <midfavila> and then i can angle the monitors inward and the tv down and just watch movies on the tv or w/e
[2025-07-08T20:04:06Z] <kris_> idk just depends on how high the monitor is ig
[2025-07-08T20:04:19Z] <kris_> i have a tv mounted above my monitors but it's so high up that i have to really crank my neck
[2025-07-08T20:04:23Z] <kris_> i don't use it though
[2025-07-08T20:04:37Z] <midfavila> my new chair is a super comfy armchair that i can just leeeeeaaaaan back in
[2025-07-08T20:04:45Z] <midfavila> honestly ikea kind of hard carries
[2025-07-08T20:04:49Z] <kris_> they really do
[2025-07-08T20:04:51Z] <midfavila> i got a uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[2025-07-08T20:05:04Z] <kris_> i mean i have a futon in my room and i can sit there and watch my tv and used to do that but eh
[2025-07-08T20:05:08Z] <midfavila> https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/salnoe-armchair-rattan-60500778/#
[2025-07-08T20:05:12Z] <midfavila> one of these
[2025-07-08T20:05:16Z] <kris_> id like a better tv but it's actually just impossible to find one that doesnt suck
[2025-07-08T20:05:20Z] <kris_> i dont want fucking
[2025-07-08T20:05:21Z] <kris_> android
[2025-07-08T20:05:22Z] <kris_> on my tv
[2025-07-08T20:05:27Z] <kris_> it's a display just be a display
[2025-07-08T20:05:40Z] <midfavila> threw a full-length chair pad on it, covered it in a nice cotton throw, and threw a little pillow on top for extra cushion
[2025-07-08T20:05:45Z] <midfavila> crazy comfy
[2025-07-08T20:05:53Z] <kris_> $170 is an unhinged amount of money for this
[2025-07-08T20:05:59Z] <midfavila> CAD
[2025-07-08T20:06:05Z] <midfavila> so it works to like 3USD
[2025-07-08T20:06:36Z] <kris_> 124 usd is a lot of money for this
[2025-07-08T20:06:44Z] <midfavila> anyway the only other options were all either kitchen chairs and insanely uncomfy or made of plywood or particle board
[2025-07-08T20:06:51Z] <midfavila> i don't trust ply or particle 
[2025-07-08T20:07:02Z] <kris_> i don't either, ive had particle board stuff literally collapse on me randomly
[2025-07-08T20:07:18Z] <kris_> i'm a sucker for mesh chairs
[2025-07-08T20:07:18Z] <midfavila> when i moved into my flat they had a sale on a super cheapo bedside table
[2025-07-08T20:07:22Z] <midfavila> and like
[2025-07-08T20:07:29Z] <midfavila> it has literally just sat in a corner for the past year
[2025-07-08T20:07:32Z] <midfavila> and it's falling apart
[2025-07-08T20:07:32Z] <kris_> once i have disposable income i intend on consooming with my chair
[2025-07-08T20:07:58Z] <midfavila> if i had a ton of money to blow i would get a really nice leather chesterfield =//w//=
[2025-07-08T20:08:08Z] <kris_> man i left a AA battery in my spare mouse for the last like 3 years 
[2025-07-08T20:08:12Z] <kris_> which did AA things
[2025-07-08T20:08:19Z] <midfavila> ruhroh
[2025-07-08T20:08:25Z] <kris_> $130 mouse down the drain i suppose
[2025-07-08T20:08:27Z] <kris_> it's *bad*
[2025-07-08T20:08:33Z] <midfavila> get a trackball

[2025-07-08T20:08:51Z] <kris_> best mouse you can get for like $35
[2025-07-08T20:08:56Z] <midfavila> honestly i can't use regular mice any more
[2025-07-08T20:09:02Z] <midfavila> or trackpads
[2025-07-08T20:09:04Z] <midfavila> hate 'em
