@p @yockeypuck It's weird, isn't it? I remember seeing that suddenly everywhere, and wondering where the hell it came from. There were posters and lampost stickers in town.

For sure there's a parallel with Ukraine, where suddenly everyone cares about something you have a deep suspicion they have no actual concern about.

The internet definitely broke people's calibration for cause celebre nonsense.

> For sure there's a parallel with Ukraine, where suddenly everyone cares about something you have a deep suspicion they have no actual concern about.

The 2014 one, nobody gave a damn. I was still on Twitter, I was incredulous that it wasn't even in the news when it started, then later "Oh, Putin wants to annex Crimea." But this time, suddenly Ukraine is our greatest ally. I don't think anything changed; I didn't notice anything different, Ukraine and Russia both seem to still be in the same place they were last time, but this time, everyone cares so much, it's all over the news hurricane relief is worth less money than Ukraine.

> The internet definitely broke people's calibration for cause celebre nonsense.

This was intentional. It's easier to run a mall than a marketplace, and if it's easier to run, it's easier for the government to call the guy that runs the mall and ask for a favor.

@Jonny @yockeypuck I couldn't find it last time I went looking but there was this speculation that the Facebook experiments on depression as a contagion were the same as the Kony 2012 operation.

@p

Kony 2012 was still a better candidate than Romney or Obama

@Jonny @yockeypuck

@Leyonhjelm @Jonny @yockeypuck Don't blame me, I voted for Kony.

@p @yockeypuck
My gawd, I can only imagine the amount of psyops that been run on facebook over the years.
The #metoo movement was a biggy.

@Jonny @yockeypuck That was the big studios killing off the independent studios. It fizzled as soon as they got their main guy.

@p @Jonny That's what Facebook is.

They use all that collected data to do weird ass experiments on their users. Half the democrat party is a revolving door with meta so it's not even a theory. Its well known shennanigans

@ins0mniak @Jonny According to the paper, the experiments ran from January 11-18, 2012. It looks like the "Kony 2012" thing got dumped onto Youtube March 5, 2012.

@mrsaturday @ins0mniak @Jonny If I was Facebook and I was about to catch shit over selling that data, I'd shove the blame onto Cambridge Analytica, too.

Man all those big box stores have 4k cameras now. Walmart for example has their own in house facial recognition program that can correlate your face, shopping habits etc with video of you checking out which then ties you to the card you used to pay which, is also sucking up your shit.

In other words they have a complete picture of your habits that then can be sold off to god knows where.

The occupy movement predated Kony 2012 by a year and was the start of a lot of people's political bandwagoneering and concern farming. But mass formation psychosis as a pattern of phenomenon (not by that name though) goes back millennia earlier to the rise of Christinanity at least. It mostly revolves around a "sacred victim" and builds from there based on populist butthurt and the surrounding propaganda campaign. Look at just about every event that gets people's attention and it's got some "poor <insert victim>" that people have to try and rescue by donating their money or other foolish behaviour.

@toiletpaper @yockeypuck

> The occupy movement predated Kony 2012 by a year

Yeah, no one lost their shit when someone said "So they're getting stoned in the park because they hate banks?" And around that time, all the chronological timelines went away, data science jobs took off, everyone was hiring people that knew how to use Hadoop.

> But mass formation psychosis as a pattern of phenomenon (not by that name though) goes back millennia

Yeah, that's not the new thing. The new thing was the TV becoming a two-way device in the form of Mall Internet and the mass statistical approach to human behavior.

@p @Jonny I got these a while back.

Not all that stylish but the lenses will reflect the IR from those cameras.

Makes your face just look like a flashing light.

@ins0mniak @Jonny Ha, wonder if they'd notice if I got an IR strobe and started spamming random Bluetooth beacons.

@p @toiletpaper None of those protest things are organic.

Occupy was totally engineered. That's why it became increasingly violent. They were turning up the heat.

@Jonny @Leyonhjelm @yockeypuck I didn't watch those movies, but that looks like Johnny Depp, you know? That dude in that picture you posted, I thought it was Emilio Rivera for a minute.

@p @Jonny idk maybe.

I know that some places will get an id from you by way of your phone trying to ping a known access point.

@ins0mniak @Jonny Yeah; hilariously, they can't do it with the cell phone's attempts to ping a tower, as this would fall afoul of wiretapping laws, but the same doesn't apply to Bluetooth or Wireless Finternet.

Every time I think "This is it, this is the dystopia", things get more dystopian in a way that I should have expected.

@p @Jonny

>afoul of wiretapping laws

Truth about the cell towers but then again there was a whole era in DC where I was finding a fuckton of stingrays. Heh. always by a foreign embassy or from the Arlington police.

Yeah we're in cyberpunk hell without all the fun music and cool neon.

I mean there's a reason why every bar and cofe shop looks the same now: they use fucking AI to create the decor right? Ass holes are going to use that shit for literally everything until the entire planet is strapped to a VR headset and eating gruel through a tube.

I remember when they told people in NYC that Radiohead was going to be headlining a protest at the bridge just so they could get people to walk across and jam up traffic in midtown.

The news all covered it as "a grassroots youth thing"

No one there knew what the fuck was up they just heard fucking Radiohead was there. Probably quite a shock to some of them when they ended up in lockup

That off the shelf surveillance stuff cops buy is scary. They have no idea how that shit works...neither do the prosecutors, the judges and your lawyer.

Fucking ton of companies selling that shit at trade shows and whatnot. Off the shelf point and arrest level toys.

They never stop using them until they're forced to.

>All of the music in that game exists here, though!

They did a good job finding bedroom artists for that soundtrack.

@Leyonhjelm @p @toiletpaper God me neither. I hate all that depression indie crap

@p @Leyonhjelm @toiletpaper Outstanding lol

This is precisely the argument I use when the dreaded mask mandate debate starts up. I've wanted to adopt the personal habit whilst in public spaces for a long time now because of the added anonymity against commercial quality facial recognition tech.

However, as I'm one of those nutjobs that never allows apps or unspoofed location services on my phone and always pays for things with cash, they're never going to take my advice.

Nothing like celebrity gossip to decry social conditioning. Very smooth. I will fuck everyone’s mother.

@w0rm @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @yockeypuck Now *that* is a story I'd follow.

@p @yockeypuck

Yeah. The rising use of AI for social media based surveillance and censorship was something that started happening immediately during the occupy movement. I noticed it right away, and it got increasingly worse overnight after that. First thing that made it catch my attention was not being able to post a link to the wikipedia page for the Glass-Steagall Act during occupy. I kept warning people about it too, including about the coming plandemic (based on synthetic discourse I was seeing pop up everywhere suddenly), until social media became unusable by me and I deleted all my accounts (not withstanding fedi). Hail Cassandra!

@toiletpaper @yockeypuck

> First thing that made it catch my attention was not being able to post a link to the wikipedia page for the Glass-Steagall Act during occupy.

Now *that's* interesting.

> (based on synthetic discourse I was seeing pop up everywhere suddenly)

Yeah, this is the only reason to ever look at the news.

Most problems go away if you look at them, but the San Francisco Data Cartel is unique in that ignoring them makes them disappear. So I get exasperated at people on fedi that can't shut up about what's going on on Twitter (we're free to discuss whatever and these people keep cross-posting the mass-broadcast shit they're getting from Twitter), but it is sometimes useful.

It wasn't the news I saw. It was a bunch of random FB groups and comment's sections where suddenly armies of trolls were coming out to harass "antivaxxers". I noticed it and thought it was out of context and out of proportion, and pretty obviously the result of paid troll farms or AI generated (aka: reputation management). So I started doing some research into pharma tech (and came across mrna + hiv research, albeit without understanding the significance at the time), and after unpacking the argument realised they were straight up gaslighting people who wanted bodily autonomy by slandering them as tin foil hatters. That's when I told people in my network, and warned that big-pharma was probably sewing the ideological seeds for a plandemic in the next decade. Most people thought I was nuts. Assuming any of them remember, I wonder if they still do now...

Fwiw, I see a lot of the same troll farm style discourse on fedi too, but arguably a lot of this stuff only needs to be initially seeded by paid orgs, since most people are so radicalised to one extreme or another now that they'll organically jump on any bandwagon that's put in front of them as long as plays into their existing biases/fears.

@toiletpaper @yockeypuck

> It wasn't the news I saw. It was a bunch of random FB groups and comment's sections

Yeah, definitely. Some people just dismiss me if I call someone a bot or a German fed or something, but the EU is all over fedi and the German BMBF and BNF have taken it upon themselves to combat "right-wing extremists", they admitted to running troll farms and spying on foreign journalists, and finally, there's this paper where they're trying to figure out how to map fedi and lamenting that it's difficult to use NetzDG to take down PeerTube instances.

> ...seeing what they're going to push is the only reason to watch the news.

Definitely. Also why I keep track of pop culture stuff like whatever latest thing is coming from Hollywood, streaming BS, etc. Most of it is a thinly veiled psyop.

A lot of my issues on earlier mainstream platforms had to do with contradicting psyops stemming from MSM accounts. It got to the point where I couldn't even have a conversation with friends on their own timeline, nor even respond to direct questions, because my messages would just get auto-deleted (from public viewing) by AI.

> ...they admitted to running troll farms and spying on foreign journalists, and finally, there's this paper where they're trying to figure out how to map fedi...

No doubt! They'd be fools not to. It's a foregone conclusion. Gotta look at all these tech's from a military SIGINT perspective to understand what's going on. Personally I'd like to see folks migrate to something like SimpleX or that ilk since it's probably just a matter of time before fedi becomes just as bad as mainstream social media was several years ago to present. I'm a bit torn about ditching my fedi accounts, but it seems like it's probably just a matter of time before I do so for the sake of my own privacy and not having it show up on the inevitable social credit score (once my fedi gets correlated with govt ID by some AI).

Interesting pdf's btw. All getting archived for future reference.

@toiletpaper @yockeypuck

> It got to the point where I couldn't even have a conversation with friends on their own timeline,

Yeah, that was the reason I joined Twitter to begin with: my friends were using it, I could just put the stuff on there that I had been setting as my away message on IM stuff.

> No doubt! They'd be fools not to.

Well, I don't think they need to figure out how to censor "vaccine misinformation".

> since it's probably just a matter of time before fedi becomes just as bad as mainstream social media

That actually can't be done and I will ensure that it doesn't happen here, at least.

For one thing, there is no central control of fedi, so it is nearly impossible to censor something completely and it is there is no central control, no director of communications for a government official to call up. It's getting more resilient: I'm solving the hosting/mod/censorship bottleneck. It is plausible that Tor (which Pleroma and Revolver and Mitra support, bloat supports it, probably most standalone frontends can be made to support it, FSE's also visible at https://r4mptqlnfifktmufdx2ru5tas7uqboy4absuxog6apqwh24elpnqsmqd.onion/ .) ends up being a solution to the DNS bottleneck. Detecting duplicate content is trivial with a CAS.

Hey now. I can be romantic. I once made a pie chart in Excel showing my girlfriend how affectionate I am.

Oh, I know. I played through a second time and we shared some mackerel together before having an adventure at the CBD kiosk. It was a lovely date.

@p @yockeypuck

> > No doubt! They'd be fools not to.
> Well, I don't think they need to figure out how to censor "vaccine misinformation".

I mean from their perspective, not mine. It's like bioweapons, and nukes, space lasers, skynet/terminator bots, etc. From a military perspective, they're gonna do it. If they don't, then someone else will. No moral boundary or argument will prevent it. It's as certain and inevitable as death. Wringing hands and crying "But what about the children?!?" is a political media tactic used to manipulate the naive and gullible, and nothing more. It's like rules of the internet. There will be porn of it. Except in this case, if it can be used to control and/or kill people, there will 100% be moar of it.

> > since it's probably just a matter of time before fedi becomes just as bad as mainstream social media
> That actually can't be done and I will ensure that it doesn't happen here, at least.

Censorship yes, to some extent (notwithstanding enshitifications like fediblock). But the big-tech/state surveillance (ie. anonymity and privacy issues) aren't likely to be solvable on fedi. Also AI/LLM generated content. It's not the right tool for that job. Feel free to prove me wrong though. I'd welcome that.

> I have more.

Donkey shin.

@toiletpaper @yockeypuck

> they're gonna do it.

Yeah, why wouldn't they? The issue is that people don't believe that they're around.

Good thing it's just a video game......If Tanya saw you with her man IRL, there would be a knife fight.

I can't wait for the rest of the character arcs to come out. I'm gonna romance the hell outta myself.

@ins0mniak @Jonny @Doll @p @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix you can enter the jonyverse, but you can never leave

This must be that 'rizz' I keep hearing about.

Also, how is your microphone broken already? Did you just miss those old school half-audible Jonny vid vibes and decided to bring them back?

@Doll @p @ins0mniak @Leyonhjelm @thendrix
No. This new phone also takes a few seconds in the beginning of a clip too adjust too ambient noise levels.
That’s why you’ll see me say, “check it! Check it!” In the beginning of a clip, in order too get the mic too register correctly

@p @Jonny @Doll @Hoss @Leyonhjelm @thendrix it was inappropriate PDA at the Beatlejuice musical. Also she got kicked out because she was vaping in the seats and they told her to stop several times. She then threw a fit and got kicked out

@ins0mniak @Doll @Hoss @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @thendrix

> it was inappropriate PDA at the Beatlejuice musical.

I have revised my opinion of *why* she is stupid but not how stupid she is.

I had some rizz earlier. it didn't taste like this.

I am to get rejected by myself Darbtar

Or you'd have to be wasted, which I believe she was? MAGAthots aren't really my kink so I didn't remember too much of the lore.

@Captain80s @Jonny @Doll @p @ins0mniak @Leyonhjelm @thendrix
> They are OK not lard quality fried fries.
yes, you do infact get different results from a convection oven and a fryer.

Oh Gawd please tell me that is not internet slang for gizz.

@Jonny @Doll @p @ins0mniak @Captain80s @Leyonhjelm @thendrix lard gives fries an off-taste imo. I like tallow. Duck fat is my favorite, but it costs way too much to be wasted on fries.

@Doll @Jonny @p @ins0mniak @Leyonhjelm @thendrix Can we do a gofundme for a monthly order of mics from amazon

I think he needs an air fryer first, he's promised to make me rum-infused shrimp scampi with it.

Well shit.
I thought lard and tallow were the same thing.
I feel like one of those pot smokers who accidentally bought oregano.

@Jonny @Doll @p @ins0mniak @Captain80s @Leyonhjelm @thendrix they are as similar as a steak and porkchop brother.

@Jonny @Captain80s @Doll @Leyonhjelm @ins0mniak @p @thendrix with that being said I like lard with green veggies. Cook up some green beans in that stuff 👍🏿

@RedTechEngineer @Doll @p @ins0mniak @Captain80s @Leyonhjelm @thendrix
How come when people cook for you it always tastes better?

@Jonny @Doll @p @ins0mniak @Captain80s @Leyonhjelm @thendrix because you aren't conscious of every mistake (real or imagined) they made.

An artist is doomed to be unsatisfied with their own work.

@RedTechEngineer @Doll @p @ins0mniak @Captain80s @Leyonhjelm @thendrix

I’m doomed, except for my beef stew. When I get too heaven, I’ll show up with a full crockpot.

@Jonny @Doll @p @ins0mniak @Captain80s @Leyonhjelm @thendrix yummy. I like to buy beef bones at the grocery store when they are cheap and stash em in the freezer. Great for making a rich stew.

@RedTechEngineer @Doll @p @ins0mniak @Captain80s @Leyonhjelm @thendrix
Please don’t make me google the difference between lard and tallow.
Lard =
Tallow =

Lard is rendered pork fat, tallow is rendered mutton or beef fat.

They're even color coded.

@Jonny @thendrix @Captain80s @Doll @Leyonhjelm @RedTechEngineer @ins0mniak It was tallow fries. Everyone was using tallow fries until the gubbamint started subsidizing rapeseed oil.

Fedi dating is a dangerous game.

@RedTechEngineer @Captain80s @Doll @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @ins0mniak @thendrix Yeah, or a tablespoon of it in a pot of chili. I use, like, either 1:1 or 2:1 pinto to black beans and two pounds of beef, then some onions and tomatoes and whatnot.

@koropokkur @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @p @ins0mniak @Captain80s @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow

I don't know how either of those are the greatest when there's better.

I'd argue pdf was a downgrade from ps, and later djvu obilterated both.
psd, being a malware format puts it in the bottom of the barrel. even xcf is infinitely better. Luckily ora exists which is better.

I don't remember what were we talking about in this thread.

@RedTechEngineer @GhostOfMoshe @Captain80s @Doll @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @ins0mniak @koropokkur @redneonglow @thendrix I was gonna say that people used to like Photoshop but apparently that was an acquisition in 1990. They did apparently create Postscript in 1982, and Postscript is cool, and they produced Illustrator in 1985 (I have never used it but people like it) and everything else has been acquisitions, like Google, which has just AI-poisoned the only product they ever developed in-house. Google Maps and GMail were acquisitions, Vimeo, Google Docs was a fork of Google Wave, an acquisition, but apparently there are people on fedi that don't remember Youtube acquisition and don't realize Android was an acquisition. That makes me wonder how many companies are just these hollow acquirers with a flagship product that people think they developed in-house.

> AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) is an open, royalty-free image file format specification for storing images or image sequences compressed with AV1 in the HEIF container format.

I thought they might have been prevented from even allowing an extension by patent, but apparently they could use it for free and won't. (Maybe GIMP/Imagemagick/etc. would suppor tit if I had installed libavif.)

Flash... until they fucked that up.

i haven't tried importing those into premiere.
my guess is that they arent supported, regardless, unless theres a third party extension. adobe literally doesnt gaf about anything they cant charge for.

illustrator was decent.
amiga had brilliance which was badically what illustrator became after commodore went belly up
brilliance was the first prog i purchased that required a serial port dongle for launch. that program was awesome for its day.

i still love flash.
what ruined it was all the cheesy nigger art that people started making.

@p @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @koropokkur @RedTechEngineer @ins0mniak @Captain80s @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow gmail was supposedly an in-house "20%" project (back when they still did that) by a random googler but over time I believe that less and less. I thought google maps was in-house but could be wrong, but Google Earth was definitely an acquisition, as was Sketchup and google photos.

> Google Maps first started as a C++ program designed by two Danish brothers, Lars and Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen, and Noel Gordon and Stephen Ma, at the Sydney-based company Where 2 Technologies

> In the same month, Google acquired Keyhole, a geospatial data visualization company (with investment from the CIA), whose marquee application suite, Earth Viewer, emerged as the Google Earth application in 2005

Apparently GMail was partially based on recycled Google Groups code, but it was created in 2001 before the "20% time" thing happened:

> Gmail was a project started by Google developer Paul Buchheit, who had already explored the idea of web-based email in the 1990s, before the launch of Hotmail, while working on a personal email software project as a college student.[2] Buchheit began his work on Gmail in August 2001.[3] At Google, Buchheit had first worked on Google Groups and when asked "to build some type of email or personalization product", he created the first version of Gmail in one day, reusing the code from Google Groups.

@RedTechEngineer @Captain80s @Doll @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @ins0mniak @koropokkur @redneonglow @thendrix I should have said "successful product" instead of just "product".

@p I've always been mystified why anybody uses .psd when .tiff can literally do exactly the same thing at every level, including saving "photoshop only" layer styles and effects. And you can dump a tiff in pretty much any serious graphics program with minimal fiddling.

@SilverDeth I didn't know tiff did that sort of thing. tiff does that sort of thing?

@ins0mniak @Captain80s @Doll @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @NonPlayableClown @RedTechEngineer @koropokkur @redneonglow @thendrix Ha, I was dual-booting for a while and then at some point Winders stopped booting and I didn't care enough to fix it.

@p @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @koropokkur @RedTechEngineer @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow I actually used windows up till xp. That was like 2004. Started dual booting around that time I think

@p Yeah a tiff can preserve all the layer, filter and style data a .psd does. And you can import it into pretty much anything. I don't know of any professional graphics software that will not accept a tiff file.

@SilverDeth Yeah? HFS, I thought it was just a really old format for uncompressed images, easy to work with, etc., like most image data you get from researchers is TIFF.

I wonder why XCFs exist. (I know why PSDs exist, Adobe's not going to go with an open format, vendors *hate* open formats.)

@ins0mniak @Captain80s @Doll @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @NonPlayableClown @RedTechEngineer @koropokkur @redneonglow @thendrix Ha, XP came out and it was the first Windows that I hadn't used so I thought it would be easy to avoid having to do tech support for people by telling them I never used XP. Then I had to use it for work for a while and I thought "Okay, at least it'll only last until the next Windows" and XP survived another 15 years.

@p @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @koropokkur @RedTechEngineer @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow heh I still see it in the wild from time to time. There were government types using it right up until it's sunset date.

At least with xp you could kind of hack on it.

@p @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @koropokkur @RedTechEngineer @ins0mniak @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow Nobody likes change, Pede, and you always struck me as a person that didn't like it either, even back then. That's why I went out of my way to make sure XP lived for as long as possible while I was at Microsoft.

every peripheral you could plug in worked on xp.
after xp, you had to buy new printers, scanners cuz the faggots didnt update the drivers. always keep an xp machine. even if its a laptop.

@kirby @Captain80s @Doll @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @NonPlayableClown @RedTechEngineer @ins0mniak @koropokkur @redneonglow @thendrix Thank you for your help, kriby.

i had my amiga networked to pc to do rendering and i had an amax card which let me start it up as a mac cuz it ran the same 68030/68040 motorola cpu as apple did.

@koropokkur @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @RedTechEngineer @p @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow Ha cool.

I think I'd rather jam on an amega than a Mac given the choice

mac had a lot of software that amiga didnt which is why it won the war.
but amiga was the superior machine so they had the best hardware for video editing at the time.

@koropokkur @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @RedTechEngineer @p @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow They also have an insane cult built up around them

Even in the early 90s when their stuff was hot ahit people were still rabid obsessives about it

@p XCF is the gimp version of a PSD for most practical purposes. You can save layers, layer style, paths and color channels in a TIFF, XCF and PSD. XCF and PSD can also save video, which is really where they have anything over a tiff.

If you want to open a XCF file in photoshop, you can download a plug-in or, better yet, save the XCF as a tiff - it will preserve, at a minimum, your layers. Even Corel Draw will accept tiffs.

@SilverDeth

> XCF is the gimp version of a PSD for most practical purposes.

What I mean is that, if an open format with the necessary features already existed, why would the GIMP people make XCF?

they werent cheap, either.
i remember when i bought it, i decided to buy a used 1701 monitor as my preview and it was still $250 even tho it was an 80s c64 monitor. still have it in my room and its as awesome as ever.

@koropokkur @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @RedTechEngineer @p @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow that's awsome man.

I love those old monitors. The gave off such a comfy glow. Nothing like a cat monitor on a snowy day lol

cant play sega or nofrendo on a flatscreen, afterall.

>XP survived another 15 years.

Yeah XP was the possibly the second best OS Microsoft has made.
Vista was utter dogshit, and crashed more than half the time.

I still think Win 7 was their best OS, as now there's a reliable recovery system in place to protect against fucking up the registry.

But... I know you don't give shit about that.

Dude....
It was so fucking stupid they had two desktop layouts an initially no background and keyboard shortcut support. They had to patch it in later in a service pack.

Then 10 was just god awful, with now forced updates plaguing your OS, and having secret elevated permissions that even as a fucking admin you can't over haul... unless you are hacking with DISM

@NonPlayableClown @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @koropokkur @RedTechEngineer @p @Captain80s @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow yeah not to mention the insane telemetry it sends home.

I have a windows machine that took me forever to switch off all the tracking stuff. Its most likely still watching me tho

i always customize my desk so those shitty default screens are gone immediately.

@p For the small number of things a PSD can do that a tiff can't. (Video mainly, though a PSD and XCF is so shitty at this that no serious person would do such). For pretty much every realistic use-case, there was no good reason, to be honest.

@SilverDeth Shit, I had no idea.

It's a closed OS that I don't run.

@p ewwww xcf is bloat

@lottev Apparently it's NIH bloat! I had no idea.

@p also "the gimp version of psd" is decidedly false, compare the file size of an xcf to the exact same file saved as psd. the xcf one is much larger, therefore bloat

@lottev I think it depends on how much undo history you tell it to save in the file; I don't know what PSDs do, my main interaction with them is sending an email that says "Can you send this as a PNG?" to people that send me PSDs.

@ins0mniak @Captain80s @Doll @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @NonPlayableClown @RedTechEngineer @koropokkur @redneonglow @thendrix Giving AOL a gateway to any other network was the mistake. It's fine to let them have AOL. They could be using AIM to send each other screenshots of AOL bulletin board posts now, and they wouldn't be on the good network and they wouldn't want to because it's just nerds on here anyway.

@GhostOfMoshe @Captain80s @Doll @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @NonPlayableClown @RedTechEngineer @ins0mniak @koropokkur @redneonglow @thendrix I think people are still running it.

Probably not surprising, DOS is still used in real places. A lot of industrial systems don't want multitasking or networking and don't need a GUI.

@p @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @koropokkur @RedTechEngineer @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow AOl let them on use net

> Probably not surprising, DOS is still used in real places. A lot of industrial systems don't want multitasking or networking and don't need a GUI.

that's about as valid as me telling you os/2 warp is still in use in certain places.

considering i've seen it, your statement has been double-validated.

@p @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @koropokkur @RedTechEngineer @ins0mniak @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow Correct, for example many old CNC machines still use it, because nobody bothered to port the software to newer versions and certify it really does what it's supposed to. The MS-DOS 6 floppy based mill I used in high school is still there and operational, at least last time I asked.

>nobody bothered to port the software to newer versions

Mostly because newer version have a ton of bloat and bullshit tied to it.

As for linux system some might even use old libraries that got revised which screws with an applications library calls.​

@jae @RedTechEngineer @thendrix @NonPlayableClown @Doll @Jonny @koropokkur @Captain80s @ins0mniak @Leyonhjelm @redneonglow @GhostOfMoshe Yeah, but there is a reason to use DOS; I can't think of a reason besides momentum to use OS/2.

This is part of how FreeDOS gets supported.

@p @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @koropokkur @RedTechEngineer @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow as soon as that happened the worst people started asking me if I was "online"

@phnt @Captain80s @Doll @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @NonPlayableClown @RedTechEngineer @ins0mniak @koropokkur @redneonglow @thendrix I mean, why bother updating? If it works, it works. What's the new shit gonna do better?

> certify it really does what it's supposed to.

Oh, shit, that too. I bet the process for actually getting it approved even after doing the unnecessary work is years long.

@jae @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @koropokkur @RedTechEngineer @p @ins0mniak @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow sometimes you just want to write a binary that directly addresses pins mapped to an ISA card

@sun @Captain80s @Doll @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Leyonhjelm @NonPlayableClown @RedTechEngineer @ins0mniak @jae @koropokkur @redneonglow @thendrix If you wanna talk to the hardware, the less bullshit between you and the hardware, the better. I didn't have to do ISA (I actually have a weird project that might involve it at some point when I get my copious free time) but I did stuff on these tiny PICs and AVRs and the thing is, there's almost no way to screw up a pin and there are a million ways to make an API terrible.

@NonPlayableClown @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @koropokkur @RedTechEngineer @p @ins0mniak @Captain80s @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow

>Mostly because newer version have a ton of bloat and bullshit tied to it.
That's probably also part of the reason. I don't know what Siemens uses now, but it doesn't show the Win logo during bootup and instead just displays the GUI after they boot fully. It might be some in-house Linux embedded thing, but the software for programming it outside of the CNC (Sinutrain) runs only on Windows. And the GUI on the CNC is the same as the Windows software (by design), so I don't really know.

>As for linux system some might even use old libraries that got revised which screws with an applications library calls.​
Until like a decade ago, seeing Linux in embedded was a rarity outside of routers. NetBSD has been the king at that time. Stable ABI on Linux just doesn't exist. An stable API is also rare outside of really small libcs.

The first use of Linux I saw in embedded was around ~2012 in the Czech 363.5 electric locomotive that used some ancient Debian version running kernel 2.4.X I think. They made a nice X GUI running on two different PCs for it and it just sent commands to the actual control system running on some other realtime system... And they never updated it.

>I mean, why bother updating? If it works, it works. What's the new shit gonna do better?
The problem is that around the WinXP time, they started making them network connected (for remote gcode retrieval usually via SMB). So EternalBlue and alike would do _interesting_ things if unleashed on the internal network. And with barely competent IT personnel, you have a recipe for an interesting week.

>Oh, shit, that too. I bet the process for actually getting it approved even after doing the unnecessary work is years long.
Depends on the application. The range is from few months to years. For stuff like airplane control software, the standard was compilers with mathematical proofs they won't do something stupid and C code also mathematically proven to do exactly what it's supposed to do. Of course that industry standard might be gone now; looking at you Boeing.
For a CNC, I don't known how hard/long that process would be.

@p Yeah Adobe did it because they are Pond Slime looking to lock things down, GIMP did it because... uh.... frankly... I don't know what possessed them to do it. Their "native" output should have been TIFF.

I did find out from Judge Dread that Photoshop started out as an in-house ILM software that they sold off for quick cash. It then near single-handedly built Adobe's empire - and they quickly supplanted the (shitty) behavior of Quark with their own flavor as they took over desktop publishing.

In the mid 90's there was so much goodwill towards Adobe and everybody hated Quark Inc with their stupid keyboard dongles and USB security fobs.

I guess they lived long enough to become the villain.

neither could i until we did an offensive workshop on atm machines out in the wild.

@jae @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @koropokkur @RedTechEngineer @p @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow A lot of point of sale systems still run on unpatched windows ce.

The Micros ones are the worst because restaurant managers have no clue how to update or set them up properly.

Go on showing and you can find systems with wide open ports

john deere uses ce in their tractors. they were charging farmers tons of cash to access the system to customize shit until they got sued in a class action to let the farmers access the os on their own machines.

@koropokkur @GhostOfMoshe @Doll @RedTechEngineer @p @ins0mniak @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow @jae
How easy would it be too hack John Deere tractors? I feel like there’s a new generation of country music coming out of this fiasco.

@koropokkur @GhostOfMoshe @Jonny @Doll @RedTechEngineer @p @Captain80s @NonPlayableClown @Leyonhjelm @thendrix @redneonglow @jae jfc.

That's wild man. It's a janky os. Years ago when I do bartending shirts it would crash and restart at least once a night.

Then you got to watch some slack jawed manager pretend to fix it

my guess is that deere simply used a pos system for their tractors.
no other reason to have a machine made and then install ce. they prolly just slapped the board into a deere shell

That was where the suit started, farmers were hacking their tractors.

I bet you could become a millionaire just by hacking John Deere code.

when they won the class action to get access, a bunch of guys had already been doing open source coding for them so farmers could insert the fxnality they wanted into their puters for the specific machine. this is already about 4 years ago.

tf are you on about?
i didnt remove any

@Jonny @Captain80s @Doll @GhostOfMoshe @Leyonhjelm @NonPlayableClown @RedTechEngineer @ins0mniak @jae @koropokkur @redneonglow @thendrix You get any money doing it, John Deere sues, so you'd have to work off the books. I think that'd be fun to do the first few times but once you've got the initial hack, it's more of a technician job than a coder job.

i didnt add or remove any.

same amt of peeps in my reply as yers nigger... quit talkin nonsense at me

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or ignorant.

he seems adamant about it. he obviously doesnt know how removing peeps is work that im not willing to put in.

@p I have a bid who was a contractor working for John Deere in Johnston Iowa and was neck deep in all of that shit when it went down. Some day when I have more time I'll get into the greedbag corporate hell that lead to the mess.

@SilverDeth That would be really interesting.
