03:41:08 <rust_collector> Wheee! poffertjes to you!
05:43:51 Quit: AndrevS ([email protected]) Connection closed
06:36:12 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
06:36:24 <Ampera> Hi Halcyon
06:36:24 <Ampera> how do
06:36:33 <Ampera> What's your project for me?
06:36:58 <rust_collector> build a portable gas chamber
06:37:13 <Halcyon> I'm building a demo "exhibit" PC for work and I need to plant "evidence" on it. It's to test new software for a tender process.
06:37:20 <Ampera> rust_collector, sweet, so I can gas jews and gays on the go, and then gas myself
06:37:32 <Ampera> Alright
06:37:48 <Halcyon> Basically what I need are a collection of kitten photos with a red border around them. They represent child exploitation material.
06:38:08 <Halcyon> Obviously we don't want to be using actual evidence for this purpose.
06:38:10 <T3sl4> tender?
06:38:15 * T3sl4 plants Halcyon's testicles on it
06:38:20 <Halcyon> Haha
06:38:29 <Ampera> Do you have said kitten photos?
06:38:43 <Halcyon> Not yet, I figured you'd enjoy that bit more than me
06:39:03 <Ampera> no, I hate dealing with copyright bullshit
06:39:10 <Halcyon> Copyright isn't an issue
06:39:25 <Halcyon> Literally scour Google images, I don't care as long as there are no logos etc...
06:39:31 <Ampera> I think you can appreciate that for me, if I give it to someone else, it becomes an issues.
06:39:33 <Ampera> *issue
06:39:48 <Ampera> in the US simply the act of redistribution of a copyrighted image is infringement.
06:39:55 <Halcyon> WHA?
06:39:58 <Ampera> yes
06:40:02 <Ampera> unless it's used for fair use
06:40:04 <Halcyon> And you say we have stupid laws
06:40:11 <Halcyon> All good, I'll do it myself today at work
06:40:12 <Ampera> you have the same laws
06:40:22 <Halcyon> I will literally be Googling cat photos today at work :P
06:40:31 <Ampera> no I can find them if you want
06:40:37 <T3sl4> i hope you find lots of pretty pussy
06:40:45 <Halcyon> Our copyright laws aren't that strict, plus a breach isn't a criminal offence
06:40:47 <Halcyon> It's a civil matter
06:41:15 <Halcyon> But yeh, that's all it was
06:41:38 <Halcyon> I also need to create a machine image for a counter terrorism, fraud and drugs/firearms related offences
06:41:44 <Halcyon> But that's a later problem
06:41:46 <Ampera> I mean that's the law on the book, you're using it for a training course and for non-commercial means, I believe that qualifies as fair use
06:42:03 <Ampera> if you need image stuff, though, I am good at image manipulation
06:42:09 <Halcyon> *nod* and it's not being distributed to anyone
06:42:28 <Halcyon> All it needs it a red border so it's obvious that it represents badness
06:42:30 <Halcyon> That's all
06:42:44 <Ampera> Nothing fancy, just the colour red?
06:42:47 <Halcyon> Yup
06:42:55 <Halcyon> I mean, fancy it up if you like?
06:42:55 <Ampera> How many kitten pictures do you need, and of what size?
06:43:18 <Halcyon> Any size as long as they aren't thumbnails and no specific number... as many as you want until you get sick of it?
06:43:35 <Halcyon> A mixture of JPEG, PNG and GIF would be good
06:43:57 <Halcyon> Feel free to throw in your own cat for good measure
06:44:31 <Halcyon> Muchu or whatever its name is
06:44:35 <rust_collector> https://imgur.com/a/2rfaqYV
06:44:36 <Ampera> I have three
06:44:45 <Ampera> Kitty, Mittens, and Enrico Fermi.
06:44:51 <Halcyon> Hahah
06:44:59 <Halcyon> rust_collector: Cats in the dark?
06:45:08 <rust_collector> mmhmm
06:45:13 <Halcyon> :P
06:45:14 <Ampera> How thick of a border?
06:45:19 <rust_collector> evil creatures
06:45:37 <Halcyon> Hmmm... thick-ish? As long as it stands out in a "gallery" type view
06:46:09 <Halcyon> Anyway, I better head off or I'll be late. I'll jump on IRC when I get to work
06:46:20 <Ampera> how many
06:46:26 <Halcyon> *shrug*
06:46:30 <Ampera> alright then
06:46:31 <Halcyon> >20 ?
06:46:35 <Ampera> cool
06:46:37 <rust_collector> HAH!
06:46:39 <Halcyon> <200
06:46:50 <rust_collector> you get 20 000!
06:46:56 <rust_collector> BOOM!
06:46:59 <Halcyon> Heh
06:47:02 <Halcyon> Later guys
06:47:02 <Ampera> I'll make 220 just to piss you off
06:47:15 <Halcyon> 220 is fine, it really doesn't matter
06:47:49 <rust_collector> Ampera: make them puppy pics, and not cat pics
06:48:09 <rust_collector> maybe with antlers
06:48:37 <Halcyon> They can be dressed up if you so wish. Ampera, I've PMd you my work email in case I forget to come on IRC
06:48:53 <Ampera> alright
06:49:39 * steve30 purrs at T3sl4
06:50:53 * T3sl4 scritches steve30 on the head
06:51:45 <rust_collector> god, so now we have to catch all the cats in the neighborhood, and dress them up, take pics, and send them to some guy on the internet... Great
06:53:14 <T3sl4> is animal abuse okay if it's for fighting human abuse? :thinking:
06:54:11 <coppice> is animal abuse okay if it's for a humourous intent? :thinking demonically"
06:54:23 <T3sl4> you turned your colon a lil there
06:54:39 <steve30> I think its bedtime
06:54:48 <T3sl4> linguistic distended colon is as unpleasant as it sounds
06:54:59 <coppice> that 's just me putting some spin on the idea
06:55:08 * T3sl4 fluffs up steve30's duvets

19:33:12 <Halcyon> Evening all
19:33:17 * Halcyon pokes Ampera
19:37:59 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: RT @ImagesFail: I upgraded my totally sick gaming power supply with lighting... https://t.co/ewzX05Z1GS
19:51:46 <K> hello
19:52:17 <steve30000> hi
19:52:24 * steve30000 pokes Halcyon
19:52:30 <Halcyon> :)
19:53:12 <steve30000> I just got back from the Post Office. I now have a MiniDV camcorder to complement the SVHSC one that I got (and made work) :)
19:53:21 <steve30000> Now I want food.
19:54:06 <Halcyon> Oh yay
19:57:10 Nick: steve30000 is now known as steve30
19:57:18 * steve30 hugs Halcyon
19:57:34 <Halcyon> Aww *hug*
20:00:29 <steve30> The camcorder came complete with an 8MB SD card and has a RS232 card reader built in. Didn't come with the cable though.
20:13:20 * steve30 wonders what food to have
20:16:34 <Halcyon> Oh surprise surprises, studies prove that 5G is perfectly safe
20:16:38 <Halcyon> Gee, who would have thought?

21:58:08 <Ampera> Hi Halcyon
22:01:49 <Ampera> T3sl4, pretty much
22:03:27 <coppice> Halcyon: Oh surprise surprises, studies prove that 5G is very dangerous
22:05:02 <K> most dangerous!
22:05:22 <coppice> 25% more dangerous that 4G
22:05:55 <K> it's a conspiracy!
22:09:48 <Ampera> studies have also proven things like /people who dislike body odour are more likely to be republican/
22:10:14 <coppice> those studies stink
22:10:38 <Ampera> and /women only earn 60 >= x >= 80 cents to the dollar that men do/
22:10:39 <coppice> but that is in fact true. Look at Jon Haidt's work
22:10:45 <Ampera> lol
22:11:30 <Ampera> other retarded shit like 1 in 5 women get raped, even though that was a college campus study, and they included things like unwanted sexual advances as rape
22:12:22 <Ampera> if someone did something vaguely scientific to suggest it, that means it must be true, science never lies
22:12:52 <coppice> isn't that the standard modus operandi - keep redefining words until they fit the statistics you want, but keep quiet about the redefinition
22:13:24 <Ampera> terminology is simply a means to the end for some people
22:14:01 <Ampera> why bother having an actually good point when you can make anyone look like a horrible person simply by redefining words
22:14:33 <Ampera> or getting offended things that weren't intended, and to no interpretation of and form of reason could be construed as offensive
22:14:41 <Ampera> like having a lotion bottle in a video game that says ogay on it
22:15:21 <K> what kind of smut game is that?!
22:15:28 <Ampera> Ion Fury
22:15:36 <K> tell me thi instant!
22:15:37 <K> a
22:15:38 <Ampera> the new build engine game made in the style of Duke 3D
22:15:39 <K> ah
22:15:55 <Ampera> it's some of the best "arcade style" FPS action fun I've had, full stop
22:16:45 <Ampera> it's got some of the best level design I've ever seen in a game, the weapons and enemies are perfectly balanced, and the story, while simple in an id software style, is still interesting and engaging.
22:18:10 <coppice> ampera: those crazy rape statistics are an interesting case. the woman who did that is so disturbed by the craziness it lead to that she is campaigning against this kind of distortion
22:19:06 <Ampera> It's almost like fearmongering people with statistics so badly warped they make black holes look smooth could encourage people to commit heinous acts based on those statistics
22:19:33 <Ampera> like make unverified, witch-hunt rape claims, treat people accused of rape in a definitively guilty until never proven innocent manner.
22:20:40 <coppice> I find the insanity of "believe the accuser" deeply disturbing in how it reflects on what goes on in people's heads

22:35:20 <K> um, is there a reason why those tweet messages do not include url?
22:36:16 <coppice> they are being clipped to a rather short length by something, which strips the URL at the end, and half the text
22:40:27 <K> weak.
22:44:59 <Ampera> Yeah I have no clue why it does that.
22:45:02 <Ampera> It's only on retweets.
22:45:39 <Ampera> I'm almost wondering if it's a bug in the twitter API library I'm using that doesn't account for some string length where the "RT @User" text goes in, causing an offset
22:45:46 <Ampera> I could try seeing if there's an update, standby
