2025-12-03 10:23:45 Really amazing browsing the small web today and getting blocked by half the websites I visit either because I'm in the UK or because they think I'm a bot 2025-12-03 10:24:23 I'm in the UK myself and I have half a mind to block myself too 2025-12-03 10:25:00 Unfortunately I actually want people to visit my site and not just make a statement and will deal with the possibility I can get sued which actually exists regardless of what I put on my site 2025-12-03 10:25:18 Have to just hope I don't get in some crazy person's sights 2025-12-03 10:25:43 Or crazy people like ofcom 2025-12-03 11:12:25 Loving the new notepad.exe with its fancy web browser based GUI, all the text randomly disappears when I switch windows 2025-12-03 11:12:37 Never saw that with the caveman notepad 2025-12-03 11:54:30 I briefly had notepad at work with tabs then they gave us new computers and back to old notepad 2025-12-03 12:33:17 veltas: I feel you say 2025-12-03 12:40:01 I had the new calculator asking me if I wanted to enable Caret Browsing 2025-12-03 12:44:09 *what you say. Not about the notepad though, but about browsing the smolweb these days) 2025-12-03 13:28:13 Delighted to be able to say that I haven't used notepad for... well, probably a decade or two. I recently dealt with a Windows computer briefly, because I wanted to move some bitcoin I'd mined years ago to an institutional wallet and needed a machine that could run my wallet software, but I ditched it as soon as that task was accomplished. I will simply never go back - ever ever.I despise 2025-12-03 13:28:15 Microsoft and everything associated with them. 2025-12-03 13:30:15 I'm of the firm opinion that upon being found guilty for some of the practices they've engaged in over the years they should have just been dissolved rather than being given a fine that didn't even offset the profit they'd made through their vile business practices. 2025-12-03 13:31:02 Anyone who expect tiny fines like that to change a company's behavior is an idiot. They just mark it down as "cost of doing business" and carry on. Instead, companies should be shut down and CEOs should go to jail. Real jail - not a country club prison. 2025-12-03 13:31:19 If they would just do that a couple of times then companies might actually behave better. 2025-12-03 13:32:56 If you want punishment to be a deterrent, it needs to be punishment that the decision makers actually FEAR. 2025-12-03 14:05:42 bonjour 2025-12-03 14:18:46 !credit 2025-12-03 14:18:46 Code source : https://github.com/cleobuline/ircbots/blob/main/lispBot.lisp /join #lisp-experimental 2025-12-03 16:26:25 KipIngram: Ooh how much BTC? 2025-12-03 16:27:12 Someone gifted me like 0.0001BTC back when it was worth $1, pretty sure I lost the wallet 2025-12-03 16:27:22 Won't be buying any landfills to try and recover it 2025-12-03 18:32:37 Well, it's enough that I guess I won't share it. It's a substantial part of my overall retirement, which is why I was neverous holding it in a private wallet that I might potentially lose access to. 2025-12-03 18:34:07 For years I had no ability to access it, but I had a piece of paper with secret numbers on it that I could restore a software wallet from, and a few months ago I started working on that. I'd used the Bitcoin Armory wallet software. Couldn't figure out how to install it on a Linux system, so I had to get a Windows system for it instead. 2025-12-03 18:34:31 Soon as I was done I purged all the bitcoin stuff from it and gave it to my daughter, who needed a new computer. 2025-12-03 18:34:55 Moved it all to a crypto account at Fidelity investments. 2025-12-03 18:35:12 Which is also where my IBM retirement funds are. 2025-12-03 22:32:19 !eval ( cons 'Hello (cons 'World ())) 2025-12-03 22:32:20 cleobuline → (HELLO WORLD)
