[2026-10-12T06:24:13Z] <midfavila> firefox is so fucking slow man 
[2026-10-12T06:24:42Z] <midfavila> even pages that have relatively little javascript take fucking forever
[2026-10-12T06:41:11Z] <Vova> midfavila: same for me that's why I switched to ungoogled-chromium
[2026-10-12T06:44:11Z] <midfavila> Vova: i'm just going to switch to surf at some point 
[2026-10-12T06:48:07Z] <midfavila> i'm very close to not needing a browser at all at this point
[2026-10-12T07:27:49Z] <Vova> Oh?
[2026-10-12T07:27:55Z] <Vova> you're lucky lol
[2026-10-12T07:28:06Z] <Vova> I wish I could do the same
[2026-10-12T07:46:53Z] <midfavila> https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=e4c2FSSaCsw
[2026-10-12T07:47:30Z] <midfavila> pack it up lads, we're off for DDR2
[2026-10-12T10:26:51Z] <GenghisKhan> surf is an absolute joke, insanely slow, that was 4 years ago or something idk if it's better now
[2026-10-12T10:28:08Z] <midfavila> that's the nature of webkit unfortunately 
[2026-10-12T10:28:49Z] <midfavila> the upside is that i don't need to use half-assed xdotool shit to interact with the browser programmatically which makes hoarding tabs more viable 
[2026-10-12T10:29:40Z] <midfavila> since there's an interesting patch up that adds a simple command language to surf for querying and manipulating its state, on top of the usual stuff
[2026-10-12T13:12:28Z] <bigcockkkyyy> Hello everyone!
[2026-10-12T13:35:40Z] <midfavila> hello.
[2026-10-12T13:41:34Z] <bigcockkkyyy> i was wondering if one of youy tjhinks it would be worth it for me to attempt installing  kiss linux again
[2026-10-12T13:41:42Z] <bigcockkkyyy> the first time i didnt have much time and couldnt finish the install
[2026-10-12T13:51:44Z] <midfavila> well, that's kinda up to you to decide. kiss is kind of a pain to set up the first time, but once it's installed and you have all the stuff you want packaged, it's smooth sailing
[2026-10-12T13:51:52Z] <midfavila> sort of set it and forget it
[2026-10-12T14:00:37Z] <bigcockkkyyy> i think il attempt it again

[2026-10-12T14:38:09Z] <GenghisKhan> > that's the nature of webkit unfortunately
[2026-10-12T14:38:16Z] <GenghisKhan> hopeing ladybird will be half useable when its out in a few years time
[2026-10-12T14:39:15Z] <bigcockkkyyy> "hopeing" boii larping english
[2026-10-12T14:40:35Z] <midfavila> GenghisKhan: more like slopbird
[2026-10-12T14:40:51Z] <midfavila> not going to touch that shit with a ten foot pole
[2026-10-12T14:41:51Z] <midfavila> i've accepted that i'm just going to not use the web at some point 
[2026-10-12T14:42:00Z] <midfavila> anyway, it's not like there's a lot that you would miss out on, these days
[2026-10-12T14:42:39Z] <midfavila> what, xitter? bluesky? reddit? other junk like that?
[2026-10-12T14:43:15Z] <midfavila> and for what you really can't go without in terms of consooming there's usually a command-line tool that'll get the job done
[2026-10-12T14:44:29Z] <midfavila> not to mention that if you *really* need to post and the idea of the modern horror of having no way to post, you can use, fuckin, uhhhhhhhh
[2026-10-12T14:44:45Z] <midfavila> there's an AP-NNTP bridge i found a while back 
[2026-10-12T14:44:50Z] <midfavila> and you can do all your posting that way
[2026-10-12T14:46:00Z] <midfavila> https://koldfront.dk/git/illuminant/tree/README.md
[2026-10-12T14:46:37Z] <GenghisKhan> ngl, the older I get, the less time I have to go online anyway. life does get in the way.
[2026-10-12T14:47:03Z] <midfavila> tbh it doesn't even feel like there's a reason to go online most of the time, for me 
[2026-10-12T14:47:15Z] <GenghisKhan> surly an atom or rrs feed on a website is good enough 
[2026-10-12T14:47:25Z] <GenghisKhan> you dont need activity pub
[2026-10-12T14:47:26Z] <midfavila> wasn't that long ago that you logged on to gtfo of real life shit
[2026-10-12T14:47:34Z] <midfavila> now everything's fucking merged together
[2026-10-12T14:47:43Z] <midfavila> can't get away from irl online and can't get away from online irl 
[2026-10-12T14:47:57Z] <midfavila> even if you haven't got a phone or any of this social media shit it affects you via cultural osmosis 
[2026-10-12T14:48:11Z] <midfavila> and yeah if you're just lurking rss is totally fine
[2026-10-12T14:48:21Z] <midfavila> but i know some people just have an overwhelming urge to *post*
[2026-10-12T14:48:36Z] <bigcockkkyyy>  boii me and le bois when using windows 11 and opera gx with built in vpn for le opsec
[2026-10-12T14:48:43Z] <bigcockkkyyy> and using le phones all day and refusing to shower
[2026-10-12T14:49:29Z] <GenghisKhan> i get what you mean the internet consumes everything

[2026-10-12T14:49:51Z] <bigcockkkyyy> of doing le consuming
[2026-10-12T14:49:54Z] <GenghisKhan> even if you go into an old man bar there men on there just scrolling tiktok 
[2026-10-12T14:50:08Z] <bigcockkkyyy> bc scrolling tiktok is tuff boii
[2026-10-12T14:51:19Z] <midfavila> yeah, shit is exhausting. i've never seen the appeal of it
[2026-10-12T14:51:48Z] <bigcockkkyyy> yeah yeah its cool n shitd jd to like le doomscroll or smt
[2026-10-12T14:52:05Z] <midfavila> even just having a smartphone at all is like, i don't know, dragging around a psychic vampire, even if all you have is communications stuff on there 
[2026-10-12T14:52:16Z] <midfavila> got rid of my phone a year or so ago and it's been ~peace~ ever since
[2026-10-12T14:53:09Z] <midfavila> oh huh go figure illuminant is written in haskell

[2026-10-12T14:54:24Z] <GenghisKhan> im using this 3 inch tiny smart phone
[2026-10-12T14:54:29Z] <GenghisKhan> good compromise if you need to be on call or need specific apps for work 
[2026-10-12T14:54:44Z] <midfavila> i would just demand a company-issued phone
[2026-10-12T14:54:53Z] <midfavila> if it's not in my contract that i use my own shit they can fuck off
[2026-10-12T14:55:08Z] <midfavila> idc
[2026-10-12T14:55:38Z] <GenghisKhan> i work in a hospital not happening lol

[2026-10-12T14:57:44Z] <GenghisKhan> are you in tech 
[2026-10-12T14:57:58Z] <midfavila> nah.
[2026-10-12T14:58:41Z] <midfavila> i mean, that's the goal, in a few years, once i'm done uni. at least to pay off student debt, buy a shed to live in, and buy some nice computers 
[2026-10-12T14:58:56Z] <midfavila> then i'm just going to live as a hermit or something, who knows
[2026-10-12T14:59:25Z] <midfavila> i don't really want to be involved with the orphan-crushing machine longer than i need to be 
[2026-10-12T15:01:33Z] <GenghisKhan> wouldnt you want to move in with friends or something 
[2026-10-12T15:01:47Z] <GenghisKhan> youll sicken your self living in isolation 
[2026-10-12T15:01:52Z] <midfavila> nah i can't do roommates
[2026-10-12T15:02:06Z] <midfavila> i went through a stint where i didn't have any other choice and since then i've not been keen on it
[2026-10-12T15:02:43Z] <GenghisKhan> fair enough every single time i go on holidays with the lads i want half of them dead 
[2026-10-12T15:02:51Z] <midfavila> yeah
[2026-10-12T15:02:53Z] <GenghisKhan> people cant clean up after them selves 
[2026-10-12T15:03:05Z] <midfavila> plus everyone has their habits and quirks that everyone else finds some reason to disagree with 
[2026-10-12T15:03:07Z] <GenghisKhan> need me to be their mam 
[2026-10-12T15:03:24Z] <midfavila> it would be nice to do one of those uhhh
[2026-10-12T15:03:39Z] <midfavila> stupid little "intentional communities" or whatever the granola types call them
[2026-10-12T15:04:02Z] <midfavila> group-buying some land and splitting it into lots and then sharing some things that benefit everyone while retaining your own little house or whatever
[2026-10-12T15:04:11Z] <midfavila> i think they've just reinvented communes tbh
[2026-10-12T15:04:59Z] <GenghisKhan> thats just living in the suburbs 
[2026-10-12T15:05:34Z] * midfavila big-shrugs

[2026-10-12T15:06:56Z] <midfavila> you mean erasmus+?
[2026-10-12T15:07:24Z] <midfavila> maybe if canada follows through with closer diplomatic ties with europe
[2026-10-12T15:07:31Z] <midfavila> i would jump at the opportunity
[2026-10-12T15:07:59Z] <GenghisKhan> we had a lot of americans coming to dublin this year 
[2026-10-12T15:08:20Z] <GenghisKhan> theyre all posh wankers though i dont think its a coledge thing 
[2026-10-12T15:08:27Z] <midfavila> yeah my condolences

[2026-10-12T15:09:02Z] <GenghisKhan> could be worse so 
[2026-10-12T15:09:14Z] <midfavila> i'm still sore i've been cut off from an EU passport
[2026-10-12T15:09:22Z] <midfavila> my mum qualifies for an irish passport but i don't because nyahhhh

[2026-10-12T15:10:13Z] <midfavila> as much as people complain about the weather i would take ireland over canada any day 
[2026-10-12T15:10:19Z] <midfavila> the weather here is like
[2026-10-12T15:10:28Z] <GenghisKhan> id love to go anywhere north america some time in my life 
[2026-10-12T15:10:33Z] <midfavila> it's either +50 and sunny enough to melt your face off or it's -50 and your eyes are freezing in their sockets
[2026-10-12T15:10:48Z] <GenghisKhan> atleast you have good live music and stuff to do 
[2026-10-12T15:10:59Z] <GenghisKhan> all you can do here is go to the pub 
[2026-10-12T15:11:10Z] <midfavila> pffhah, maybe if you live in a big metro
[2026-10-12T15:11:19Z] <midfavila> the biggest city i've ever lived in has like 40k people
[2026-10-12T15:11:24Z] <midfavila> the food is good though
[2026-10-12T15:11:40Z] <GenghisKhan> do you have good mexican food there 
[2026-10-12T15:11:45Z] <midfavila> actually, yeah

[2026-10-12T15:11:54Z] <midfavila> there's a good place not far from my flat 
[2026-10-12T15:11:58Z] <GenghisKhan> you only hear about it on tv 
[2026-10-12T15:12:16Z] <midfavila> they have these things where they're like, burritos, but they're filled with filleted steak that's marinated in this "adobo" sauce 
[2026-10-12T15:12:20Z] <midfavila> really smoky and earthy 
[2026-10-12T15:12:35Z] <GenghisKhan> sounds sexy 
[2026-10-12T15:12:38Z] <midfavila> and they just pack it right full and then deep fry it and smother it with cheese and it's like the size of my forearm
[2026-10-12T15:12:50Z] <midfavila> gout in a tortilla but also worth it
[2026-10-12T15:13:11Z] <midfavila> "birria" i think is what the meat preparation is called
[2026-10-12T15:13:16Z] <GenghisKhan> ye you dont get good food here i swear 
[2026-10-12T15:13:27Z] <midfavila> unlimited fish and chips 
[2026-10-12T15:13:31Z] <midfavila> woe betide ye
[2026-10-12T15:13:43Z] <GenghisKhan> when ever someones back from abroad they come back with insane pictures of the food 
[2026-10-12T15:14:22Z] <GenghisKhan> do you speak french where you live or just english 
[2026-10-12T15:14:30Z] <midfavila> just english 
[2026-10-12T15:14:44Z] <midfavila> canada is sort of like two parallel countries
[2026-10-12T15:14:54Z] <midfavila> where one country speaks only english and the other speaks only french 
[2026-10-12T15:15:12Z] <jzr3333> hello
[2026-10-12T15:15:16Z] <midfavila> and then there's the maritimes where all the french people basically just live in the countryside and the english speaking population basically only lives in the city
[2026-10-12T15:15:19Z] <midfavila> because History:tm:
[2026-10-12T15:15:23Z] <midfavila> (i blame england)
