@purplephish20 everyone is getting partners, and i'm just here, fusing demons to not get nervous about my tests...

@mushi That someone else finds someone doesn't mean there's no hope left for you. Even I can get someone, so I'm sure you'll find one sooner or later as well.

@omni i make fun about this because i think it is funny, that is not like i've been looking for someone in the last 5 years

@widget Ah, I see. Well, that falls right under the "easy-to-bypass-but-nobody-thinks-of-it" thingies, so let's just shut up about it and make sure he won't find out how it works :x

@widget Oh, okay then. Bye.

@widget How long was that supposed to stay? I left it for about seven minutes and realized I had no clue if you were expecting it removed after a certain amount of time.

@omni But consider how many technologically-illerate folk nowadays will buy the most expensive computer because "the cheaper one is probably worse".
-
@redenchilada Well, this is true, and I guess the huge sales of Microsoft Office somewhat show that the same is the case for software. Oh well.
-
@omni Though, what if they made it more expensive and exploited that pattern of thought to make lods of emone? :o

@ceruleanspark After two days, the mandom devolved into infighting over who sat in what spot on the couch. Thus ends the legend of the posey fandom.

apples. I forgot to bring a USB with me, so I can't install Ubuntu or Mint (I haven't decided yet) until I get home.

@omni "This OS has an optional feature to search the internet HOW TERRIBLE." "Allowing people to set default preferences instead of asking every time is SO TERRIBLE." This entire article is hilarious
-
@redenchilada With all due respect, you have no clue what is being done with this data, nor how valuable personal data is. This is a risk we are grossly underestimating in our society as a whole. I do agree that the tone in the article is somewhat overly paranoid, but this change is definitely not a change in the right direction.
-
@omni Data security's a concern to some people, yeah, but that paranoid attitude makes it hard to take its other (valid) points seriously.

Dear dad: The device for our family member will run nothing but a very bare Linux system and a browser. I don't care what you say, this will literally run fluidly on a Pentium, stop trying to talk me into agreeing with your "It's better to buy a good and expensive laptop" idea.

@redenchilada It's for someone who hasn't touched a PC ever since Windows 95 got released.
-
@omni And you're certain they'll be doing nothing but browsing the web? :v
-
@redenchilada I first started off with setting up GNOME3 in a way which was even more simple than the default GNOME3, but my dad stated that this was "way too difficult" and that he would "only browse the web a bit", so yeah. And even in the case he wants to do more, I will switch him over to a desktop environment in a minute or two.

So, I talked with my dad a bit, and apparently GNOME3 is going to be WAY TOO ADVANCED. Could you imagine that? Well, I have a new plan: No desktop environment, no window manager, ONLY a browser which auto-starts as the system starts, and touching the power button on the laptop will start the shutdown procedure. Which browser? Web. GNOME3's terrible, useless and featureless browser has so little buttons it is absolutely perfect. I think this is the closest I can come to a system literally everyone can use.

@kamikaze I'm not sure what you're trying to say, explain yourself?
-
@omni I needed all my google-fu to find that one again (should have bookmarked it back when everyone was talking about it): http://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes/
-
@kamikaze This is why I want a decent GNOME3 fork which does not remove anything semi-useful. I haven't seen one yet, though, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to make one myself.

Someone who hasn't used a computer since the Windows 95 times wants to have a computer with Internet now. This person is probably as computer-illiterate as you can get, so I'm going to have to put some serious thoughts in how to set this system up. Windows will require a lot of constant checking up, with anti-virus software and the likes, and I expect that to be way too hard to use, so I'm checking into a Linux system which can take care of itself. I can set it up to update everything once a month or so without him having to do anything, so his system stays reasonably up-to-date and safe without any user interaction needed, which seems like a good idea. I'm also thinking of giving him a GNOME3 desktop, modified to, yes, remove even more features. I want to get rid of the ability to have more than one "Virtual Desktop", so that going to the activities view will always list ALL his open programs. If anyone knows good GNOME3 extensions, a good distro or has a better idea, speak up please!

@mrdragon for you to see what i have to deal with. we still have the exact same computer we had in 2009, when our old computer got completelly absolutelly super extra lost and nothing could fix that again
-
@mushi If I would let him see and read some stuff from Richard Stallman he might give it a chance with free software, but I want to protect you from getting more crap for not using free software yourself then, as the FSF does a good job at making that sound evil (although, up to a certain point, it's at very least more dangerous to use) :P

@omni no, he doesnt like computers, he doesnt even know what "software" means

@omni It is actually not bad, I thought the alpha was entertaining. It was basic, and not gimmicky.
-
@noirbatch I must admit I tried it under WINE some time back, but it literally hurt my eyes to play it due to the half-updated frames I kept seeing and the laggy gameplay. I guess there is a fair chance it would've been improved by now, though.

@omni I had a blast playing all of it including mission packs with Yamagi Quake II, best source port. I originally didn't get very far in it, but still nostalgic.
