[2026-04-07T06:56:47Z] <dery> bruh turns out that the whole issue I had with my mediatek wifi card was due to regdom being weird 
[2026-04-07T06:57:10Z] <dery> fixed with a single configuration line in iwd's config
[2026-04-07T19:06:23Z] <midfavila> man how is windows so unbelievably bad
[2026-04-07T19:06:41Z] <midfavila> the GUI barely functions and the entire system seizes up from just trying to play a standard-definition video
[2026-04-07T19:06:55Z] <midfavila> total garbage
[2026-04-07T19:34:54Z] <dery> I refuse to use anything after windows 10, and that just because windows 7 (the best) is starting to get a bit old for modern hardware
[2026-04-07T19:39:09Z] <midfavila> i only use it on my workplace's laptop to watch youtube
[2026-04-07T19:39:33Z] <midfavila> youtube has become too slow and bloated to run on my reform's imx8mq and invidious is unreliable because of alphabet's attacks on it
[2026-04-07T20:03:12Z] <dery> I wonder if the embedded youtube view would run a bit faster
[2026-04-07T20:03:33Z] <dery> without loading the absolute shitfest of a UI around that video
[2026-04-07T20:12:04Z] <midfavila> not by much tbh
[2026-04-07T20:12:34Z] <midfavila> i like how one of the reasons everyone shits on flash is "oh my god it's so slow and uses too much CPU time"
[2026-04-07T20:12:37Z] <midfavila> meanwhile, 
[2026-04-07T20:12:38Z] <midfavila> >the modern web:
[2026-04-07T20:13:00Z] <midfavila> it's like those old websites that were literally *just* a giant flash animation 
[2026-04-07T20:13:29Z] <midfavila> at least back then websites were just plain html and css with maybe a little cgi and then there *might* be a piece of embedded flash content *that you had to explicitly choose to run*
[2026-04-07T20:17:46Z] <midfavila> btw what does #kisslinux think of trump openly threatening to do a holocaust >:O
[2026-04-07T20:17:49Z] <midfavila> that's kind of fucked 
[2026-04-07T20:17:54Z] <dery> it is
[2026-04-07T20:17:56Z] <dery> he won't tho
[2026-04-07T20:18:00Z] <dery> TACO and all that
[2026-04-07T20:18:21Z] <midfavila> idk man he already went after water plants
[2026-04-07T20:18:35Z] <midfavila> and other civilian infra
[2026-04-07T20:18:42Z] <midfavila> warcrimes and the USA are like bread and butter
[2026-04-07T20:19:03Z] <dery> ye ofc but he won't fucking directly kill people
[2026-04-07T20:19:08Z] <dery> he's not _that_ dumb
[2026-04-07T20:19:10Z] <midfavila> they already have lmao
[2026-04-07T20:19:18Z] <midfavila> weeks ago
[2026-04-07T20:19:31Z] <midfavila> again, warcrimes and america go hand in hand
[2026-04-07T20:19:32Z] <dery> did they nuke the place yet tho
[2026-04-07T20:19:46Z] <dery> that's what everybody is scared of I think?
[2026-04-07T20:19:49Z] <midfavila> idk i feel like we should draw the line somewhere prior to >doing a nuclear holocaust
[2026-04-07T20:20:02Z] <dery> oh don't worry man went way over my line ages ago
[2026-04-07T20:20:28Z] <midfavila> like at this point the rest of the world has to tackle america 
[2026-04-07T20:20:28Z] <dery> just like, he won't do a whole ass genocide
[2026-04-07T20:20:40Z] <midfavila> the americans are literally doing a whole ass genocide rn
[2026-04-07T20:20:43Z] <midfavila> >palestine
[2026-04-07T20:20:49Z] <dery> oh ye talking about iran in this case
[2026-04-07T20:21:13Z] <midfavila> i mean iran might stop them which would be good but it's not like america is restrained by law or ethics
[2026-04-07T20:21:18Z] <dery> iran actually got some resources to fight back, the palestine situation is just sad to look at
[2026-04-07T20:21:35Z] <midfavila> iran got hands
[2026-04-07T20:21:43Z] <midfavila> frfr no cap fo shizzle etcetera
[2026-04-07T20:21:53Z] <dery> frfr no what
[2026-04-07T20:22:08Z] <midfavila> aren't you one of those youths that's supposed to be hip
[2026-04-07T20:22:15Z] <midfavila> i'm old and don't understand the lingo these days
[2026-04-07T20:22:31Z] <dery> I got you until fo shizzle
[2026-04-07T20:22:45Z] <midfavila> damn
[2026-04-07T22:13:09Z] <midfavila> does anyone here know if there's a site that lets you grab METAR weather data with a simple GET instead of some bullshit API?
[2026-04-07T22:13:34Z] <midfavila> i used to be able to grab data publically from some tiny aviation club in the middle of nowhere but their system seems to be offline now
[2026-04-07T22:14:04Z] <midfavila> does wttr.in have metar, actually? i wonder...
[2026-04-07T22:16:14Z] <midfavila> format=3 is close enough i guess, but i would prefer metar...
[2026-04-07T22:18:30Z] <midfavila> uses all these stupid fucking emojis...
[2026-04-07T22:20:53Z] <midfavila> alternative is json which is like 40kb instead of a goddamn metar...
