00:08:23 <electrohead> !caffeine
00:08:24 * EEVBot hosts a red bull party, invites everyone over
00:30:01 <MrMobodies> Downloading the music to test Spotify in the case of outage
00:30:14 <MrMobodies> I went to find out where this music was stored
00:30:16 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/EfiIkLO.jpeg
00:30:29 <MrMobodies> To find out it uses the Chrome browser dressed up as a media player.
00:31:10 <MrMobodies> A possibility to be able to extract it but I bet it's encrypted.
00:33:41 <arch> how do you do, fellow baldies?
00:35:39 <MrMobodies> okay
00:36:18 <MrMobodies> putting up some LED strips last week sunday, botched one of them up, opened another box to find the controller on the strip loose.

00:36:40 <MrMobodies> I'd thought I soldered it to find, they have 5 conductors, not 4.
00:36:57 <MrMobodies> I do have abit of baldness on my head
00:37:45 <MrMobodies> I never seen that before
00:41:21 <MrMobodies> when I was 5 I had asthma and we believed it was due to the area. It was an industrial area and we had a gas leak too in the house about tha time.
00:41:36 <MrMobodies> now I was never overweight then
00:41:43 <MrMobodies> but you get people like this

00:42:16 <MrMobodies> She is MASSIVE and for 20
00:43:03 <MrMobodies> maybe the inhaler would have saved her
00:43:52 <MrMobodies> but all that weight/fat pulling and pushing up against your lungs and heart
00:44:26 <K> this topic is a bit much eh
00:45:31 <MrMobodies> she was apparently found dead in the toilet due to difficulity...
00:46:09 <MrMobodies> you don't go to toilet because you can't breathe, you go outside, maybe she struggled to do a number 2
01:04:38 <electrohead> MrMobodies
03:43:37 <arch> electrohead, i was today an old man when i found out kicad has a git versioning UI directly from the kicad project start page
03:43:59 <arch> i had been using the git cli, but this is the first time i saw that feature in the UI
03:47:38 <electrohead> oh?
03:47:56 <electrohead> the git cli is just 'how things are done' around here lmao
03:48:02 <electrohead> err, for me, rather
03:48:07 <electrohead> I didn't know that, myself
03:51:21 <arch> electrohead, this is what it looks like. i used git cli to `git checkout v2` where before i had a v1, and then i committed changes. and here's what the gui looks like: https://i.imgur.com/wjzQvKe.png
03:51:31 <arch> the red "o" icons means uncommitted changes
03:56:59 <electrohead> "lol"
03:57:15 <electrohead> wow, ok I feel like you feel. how long has that been there?
04:15:07 <arch> no idea, but it's good to know my yearly donations are doing something :D
04:21:03 <electrohead> xD

07:44:36 <MrMobodies> https://www.itv.com/news/2025-09-25/government-to-announce-digital-id-card-scheme-to-curb-illegal-migration
07:45:03 <MrMobodies> I hope it'd be just for that: " it would allow the verification of a citizen’s right to live and work in the UK and anyone starting a new job or looking to rent a home would be required to show their digital ID."
07:46:09 <MrMobodies> I think they'd have to have police actively check people if the immigration situation is that bad.
07:46:45 <MrMobodies> I hope citizens don't have to do anything. They just send a plastic card do to them.
07:49:46 <MrMobodies> My worry is, they'd apply to everything and everywhere, including the front door of a libary, the NHS and the surgery so they could track me asier and fob me of easier when I turn up unannounced.
07:53:19 <MrMobodies> Tony Blair said he wanted a creater a "super id card" to access public services, NO!, benefit claimants and pots holes... just no. Potholes should be reported REGARDLESS who of you are.
07:54:44 <MrMobodies> what they could do is give out awards for identifying the employers of slavery of these immigrants where they are put to work in appaling conditions
07:55:13 <MrMobodies> great idea but I don't trust them with it.
08:01:23 Quit: steve30 ([email protected]) Quit: <Baljem> steve30: by the way, I had the most bizarre dream the other day that someone came in here and seriously flipped their shit over your quit message and why aren't the ops /doing/ something about it

11:57:45 <Nothing\> odd... my modem's lights say it's not synced, but it is
11:58:18 <Nothing\> service has been all fucky lately
12:02:04 <Nothing\> just another way the cocksucking pretender fucks with me like a future psychopath pulling legs off of a spider for fun
12:03:23 <Nothing\> dangling the carrot of hope in front of me JUST close enough to think I can MAYBE have it. Maybe even letting me have a little nibble if he were feeling particularly cruel. Just enough to keep hope alive even though there is none in reality.
12:03:31 <Nothing\> what better way to torment someone
12:03:43 <Nothing\> hell is a lot more subtle than fire and brimstone
12:04:16 <Nothing\> and God is fucking nothing
12:05:11 <Nothing\> lower than rat shit. a sociopathic fucking cocksucker who gets off on suffering. Sitting up there jacking off and smearing his cum all over himself with sick visceral pleasure while he watches us squirm.
12:07:34 <Nothing\> shit, if he wanted us to be happy, he'd miracle our asses into happiness. He sure as fuck wouldn't make suffering the norm. Even if you want the slightest iota of goodness if your life you have to fight, and struggle, and toil and suffer a severely disproportionate amount, FOR a disproportionate amount of time
12:23:07 <steve30> so, apparently AI girlfriends are becoming popular amongst younger men
12:23:59 <steve30> which has got me wondering, can you have sex with an AI girlfriend?
12:24:41 <Nothing\> you can have sex with anything with nipples
12:25:00 * Nothing\ hoping steve30 catches the reference
12:25:10 <Nothing\> even if i misquoted it
12:25:28 <Nothing\> i feel like meet the parents was a bigger series of movies in NA than in UK
12:25:50 <Nothing\> but anywho, how've you been, steven?
12:27:00 <Nothing\> There's actually a a Geordieman who works at the potshop here named stephen
12:27:05 <steve30> i've been eating too much food
12:27:11 <Nothing\> me too
12:27:20 <Nothing\> ironically, that's part of being on insulin
12:27:29 <Nothing\> etaing every 4 hours
12:27:55 <Nothing\> makes sense, overeating causes it, so overeating cures it
12:27:57 * Nothing\ shrugs
12:27:57 <EEVBot> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
12:30:20 <Nothing\> but, that's logic befitting of god, so it's not surprising
12:30:25 <Nothing\> that is to so, none whatsoever
12:30:56 <Nothing\> he just wants to fuck with us so he can get off some more like the psycho he is
12:32:07 <Nothing\> picking fights with humans who don't even know he's fucking with them while gaslighting them into kissing his ass whenever he lays off for a moment
12:32:34 <Nothing\> you know how many deaths were attributed to satan in the bible?
12:32:38 <Nothing\> 10
12:33:15 <Nothing\> god killed thousandsfold more infants alone, never mind everyone else
12:33:42 <Nothing\> some "gift"
12:33:53 <Nothing\> fucking indian-giver
12:36:05 * Nothing\ sighs
12:36:39 <Nothing\> the fuck are you supposed to do when you're the victim of abuse by a wanna-be deity?
12:37:24 <Nothing\> effigy!
12:38:11 * steve30 is tired
12:46:34 Quit: Nothing\ ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
14:18:20 <MrMobodies> Playing the playlist on Spotify and the songs sounds HORRIBLE, really compressed
14:18:41 <MrMobodies> Abba Dancing Queen and I was wonder if it was anything to do with my stuff
14:19:02 <MrMobodies> comparing it with an mp3 copy and it is a lot better
14:19:54 <MrMobodies> and that 50 cent thing so it's not the album
14:20:03 <MrMobodies> and the volume seems very week
14:20:20 <MrMobodies> using the same laptop, and swap USB sound card over
14:59:11 <MrMobodies> I found out it was the quality set to auto, and the volume normalisation but some things don't sound the same, they are different
14:59:36 <MrMobodies> the new stuff sounds good but Abba just sounds different and low volume from two different albums
14:59:49 <MrMobodies> this tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3-hY-hlhBg
14:59:49 <EEVBot> Temporary error talking to YouTube: [SYS] unknown error (_ssl.c:2638)
15:00:12 <MrMobodies> They sound completely different on Spotify and Amazon and the background don't seem to sound as clear.
15:00:33 <MrMobodies> I expected it the other way round.
15:01:56 <MrMobodies> Yep on my hard drive they seem to have different versions including that one
15:02:22 <MrMobodies> including that one in the video but that seems to sound the best

17:10:12 * Nothing\ sighs
17:17:27 <Nothing\> yeah that's what i thought
17:20:00 <Nothing\> fucking asshole does anything and everything to keep me as isolated as possible, lest he has to create a more complicated reality with actual THOUGHT and EFFFORT put into it. Just the same predictable bullshit every day. Keeping me talking to nothing but fucking robots/NPCs and figurative brick wall people where i can literally say something right to their face and they won't even hear me.
17:21:54 <Nothing\> fucking cocksucker
17:22:02 <Nothing\> that's all He's good for
17:22:07 <Nothing\> and CRYING FOR US
17:22:22 <Nothing\> you ask any priest they'll tell you "oh god cries for us when we suffer"
17:22:36 <Nothing\> well that's a useless savior
17:23:12 <Nothing\> like that fucking comic strip Fry tried to make in Futurama where the only thing the super hero did was huddle in a corner and cry uselessly
17:23:55 <Nothing\> fucking useless cunt
17:25:12 <Nothing\> might as well go kill some more babies and let them get raped by aids infected men (it happens in Africa all the time) There's a myth that sex with a virgin cures aids.
17:25:26 <Nothing\> what a loving god to let such lies prevail over truth
17:26:20 <Nothing\> why the fuck can't he just leave me alone
17:26:30 <Nothing\> he's worse than a fucking abusive partner
17:26:58 <Nothing\> with his fucking manipulation and gaslighting and fake promises
17:27:31 <Nothing\> not to mention threats
17:27:51 <Nothing\> because a benevolent, loving god needs to threaten his followers for any reason
17:28:24 <Nothing\> what a disgusting psychotic piece of shit
17:53:42 <electrohead> Alright
17:54:11 <electrohead> MrMobodies went off yesterday, you're going off today. (lol)
17:56:41 <electrohead> Nothing\: My man, this is a warning: whatever the hell I just read, don't do that again
17:57:00 <electrohead> MrMobodies: Watch what you say in this channel, I've been nice in the past, and willing to stop doing that
17:57:47 <steve30> I was just writing on a forum about a local suicide prevention campaign, which does nothing except detail already well-publicised helpline numbers - all at a time when the main helpline wants to close a large number of its officers which many volunteers threatening to leave.
18:09:56 <K> hello trust bearings
18:10:22 <Halcyon> Hello all
18:10:56 <Halcyon> You OK Nothing\ ?
18:11:34 <steve30> i think people are talking too much as usual
18:11:51 <Halcyon> He just seems upset, so just checking
18:12:58 * steve30 was reading about AI girlfriends earlier
18:17:03 <Nothing\> Halcyon, i am upset but i'll live. I took care of it. Or part of it.
18:18:05 <Nothing\> neighbour's barking dog literally 24/7 for hours on end for months, property management wouldn't help, bylaw wouldn't help, cops wouldn't help, animal contorl wouldn't help even though the dog was at large and wandering through traffic multiple times as well over this time
18:18:40 <steve30> dogs are annoying
18:19:12 <steve30> anyway, i'm off out, bbl
18:19:17 <Nothing\> i bang on the wall to let them know and they do nothing, i have put so many holes in my wall just banging on it to let them know and they know i'm banging but do nothing. They just leave him in the yark for hours and hours while he barks at absolutely everything
18:20:16 <Nothing\> i mean like 00:30 to 05:00 then again at 10:00 til 14:30 then at 16:00 until 18:30, etc on a typical day
18:21:19 <Nothing\> so i finally found a specific municipal bylaw for the city saying that excessive noise from animals violates this act regardless of the time of day
18:22:37 <Nothing\> printed it off with a subjectively worded letter (no threats or anything other than legal) saying if they don't fix it by wednesday i'm calling bylaw with this law which apparently they didn't even know existed or just didn't want to enforce in the force place i don't know and they can deal with them however they want. Probably a fine (not that I said that).
18:23:13 <Nothing\> but frankly if they can't even keep the dog on a leash that he's running through traffic and knocking them over he's too big a breed for him in the first place
18:23:19 <Nothing\> a bull mastiff, i think
18:23:35 <Nothing\> for 2 literally half demented octogenarians
18:24:46 <Nothing\> the other day they had their nurse who helps them at home chasing the dog around the street and the townhouse compound for an hour and a half
18:25:17 <Nothing\> they/him (ie the less demented one)
18:25:43 <Nothing\> and believe me i'm not trying to be insulting with the dementia thing. They are genuinely not with it.
18:26:25 <Nothing\> but that's not for me to judge. Only when they do stupid shit that interferes with my life and reasonable enjoyment of my place
18:27:25 <Halcyon> That sucks the cops won't do anything
18:28:29 <Nothing\> lol when the dog was at large they gave me the number of a kennel about 40km away from here... at 8:30pm on a saturday.
18:28:45 <Nothing\> said they don't deal with dogs at large
18:29:00 * Nothing\ sighs
18:29:36 <Halcyon> Sounds like a breakdown of government, no one wants to do anything
18:30:02 <Nothing\> exactly
