07:32 <Cepheid> Morning.
07:33 <ConfusionRift> Hey there, how's it going?
07:33 <Cepheid> Woke up too early, but otherwise I'm feeling okay for the moment.
07:38 <Cepheid> And now my PC is making a clunking noise and I'm not sure what's causing it.
07:38 <ConfusionRift> o_0
07:40 <ConfusionRift> Wait... is Pokke Village in Generations?
07:40 <Cepheid> Yes.
07:41 * ConfusionRift sniffles a bit. "I see."
07:41 <Cepheid> Also the clunking is coming from the platter drive I have in my PC. The mount for it isn't the greatest and doesn't do anything about vibration.
07:42 <ConfusionRift> It could be just the mount clunking when it starts reading.
07:43 <Cepheid> That's what's happening.
07:43 * Cepheid solves the noise temporarily by simply unpowering the drive.
07:44 <ConfusionRift> That's... one way to solve the issue. :P
07:49 <Cepheid> Except it didn't.
07:55 <Cepheid> Okay, that's worrisome and annoying.
07:56 <Cepheid> Gods damnit, all I did was move the PC from upstairs to downstairs temporarily and then back up, what the hell's going on?
08:00 <ConfusionRift> Clunking getting worse?
08:05 <Cepheid> Okay, it was definitely the platter drive. For reasons unknown, despite disconnecting the power, the system still was able to get it to spin up.
08:05 <Cepheid> I'll have to buy a new mount, looks like.
08:05 <Cepheid> One with rubberized screw holes.
08:05 * ConfusionRift hears a clicking, and gets slightly paranoid.
08:09 <Tiffany> Hi confusionrift
08:10 <ConfusionRift> Hallo.
08:16 <Cepheid> Hum. World, Rise, or Generations..?
08:16 <Cepheid> Or more AC?
08:17 <Finwe> Good forenoon, everypony.
08:18 <uni> heyo~
08:18 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz; Mlles Ali, Schism and Tiffany; Messrs AppleDash, Cepheid, Dappled and uni.
08:19 <Cepheid> Finwe.
08:19 <Cepheid> Oh, in other news, I might have a job.
08:19 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
08:20 <Cepheid> Lee Valley Tools finally called back about the warehouse order picker job. TWO MONTHS AFTER I APPLIED.
08:30 <Finwe> Recruiting takes time.
08:31 <Cepheid> Perhaps, but two months seems excessive.
08:32 <Finwe> Not if they didn't actually hire you.
08:33 <Finwe> Some companies don't even notify if they haven't accepted your application.
08:37 <Tiffany> Forenoon for you finwe ^^ here's afternoon :)
08:37 <Cepheid> This is true, Finwe. But it's likely they want to hire me. It's a job with a high turn-around to begin with, so..
08:40 <Finwe> Tiffany: Sounds like somewhere in Asia.

08:49 <Cepheid> Then again, she didn't exactly specify what time, just "afternoon"
09:03 <Finwe> Cepheid: Well, there's only one European time zone where it was afternoon at that time.
09:04 <Finwe> Viz., that consisting of Western Russia and Belarus.
09:05 <Finwe> plus some Asian and African countries

09:10 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
09:12 <Finwe> In Asia, it was afternoon from Turkey to Philippines, and Western Australia in addition.
09:30 <Tiffany> Finwe:I'm from Indonesia
09:40 * Golden flops.
09:47 <Dappled> 'Murica.
09:51 <Cepheid> Canada here.
10:06 <Finwe> Tiffany: And I'f from Finland.
10:15 * Dappled decides to sit down and actually try to beat Pathfinder Kingmaker since Wrath of the Righteous just came out.
10:32 <Cepheid> So what's everyone up to?
10:33 <ConfusionRift> Playing a bit of BMZ3.
10:34 <Tiffany> Cepheid: listening BBC select theme in loop :)

10:36 <Finwe> I should get my bicycle to be serviced, it's almost without brakes.

10:38 <Finwe> A smol hors?
10:39 <Jackie> I haven't seen them here before
10:39 <Cepheid> I was gaming but I'm now taking a short break to talk to the parents.
10:39 <Finwe> Jackie: That's probably because you haven't been here at right time for that.
10:40 <Jackie> Well I'm used at Discord at times
10:40 <Finwe> In what way?
10:41 * Finwe tries to use Jackie at Discord, to no avail.
10:42 <Jackie> It has diversity
10:42 *** Quits: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles) (Quit: Le poof)
10:45 <Jackie> There isn't much community around Canternet sadly
10:47 <Finwe> Well, Discord lets you stream your games, have video and audio chats and whatnot.
10:47 <Arion> Lots of people have left over time, sadly... and further more don't really check here often.
10:47 <Finwe> I've been here since 2011, I think.
10:48 * Dappled chews on a stick. Is to old and crotchety to change his computer habits.
10:48 <Jackie> Does IRC ever get updated?
10:48 <Jackie> As in new specifications that make it look modern
10:48 <Finwe> The servers do, of course, and the protocol has been updated at least once.
10:49 <ConfusionRift> Ah, there's that 3 health bar boss.
10:49 <Jackie> Like allow voice chat via IRC
10:49 <Finwe> But IRC is way better than its contenders at what it does.
10:49 <Dappled> That's a whole other style of program.
10:50 <Dappled> You youngins, not knowing the early days of Skype and RogerWilco.
10:50 * Dappled shakes his old man stick.
10:51 <Finwe> My first experience of IRC is from 2004, with ircII.
10:51 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift, giant box?
10:51 <Finwe> It was quite rudimentary, it only has one window in which all the messages from your channels appear.
10:52 <Finwe> Irssi at least keeps them separated.
10:52 <Jackie> The problem with IRC is that it looks old
10:52 <Dappled> Function > Appearance?
10:52 <Jackie> The UI itself on clients look old
10:53 <Jackie> Not much graphics etc
10:53 <AppleDash> Who cares? It works.
10:53 <Cepheid> The fancier it is, the harder to maintain it becomes.
10:54 <Dappled> Discord is great, but given the sheer number of people in anything other than a persons private server, it's very intimidating.
10:54 <Dappled> Like I'm only on Discord if I'm looking for someone to play a specific game with, in a server dedicated to that game.
10:54 <Jackie> Another problem is the clients
10:54 <Jackie> There's many IRC clients that are crap
10:54 <Dappled> Rude.
10:54 <Jackie> Mostly mobile wise
10:55 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Yes.
10:55 <Jackie> Many people use phones to communicate nowadays
10:55 <Arion> All visual stuff is related to your client. IRC itself is just the underpinnings and how the chat system works. You could make it look like discord with UI if someone really desired to do so.
10:55 <Jackie> When choosing an IRC client for phones, the options are somehow low quality
10:56 <Arion> For example, if you're familiar with Twitch. Twitch's chat system is irc, and they use UI to make it look fancy and for the emotes to work.
10:56 <ArchPegasusMichael> Jackie: Because "nobody uses irc nowadays so why bother"
10:57 <Jackie> Why are still low quality clients in the app store?
10:57 <Jackie> *are there
10:57 <Dappled> Low demand.
10:57 <Arion> Because shiny things aren't necessary.
10:57 <Jackie> Is there the best client tho?
10:57 <Lumindia> I don't think there's 'best', only 'least shitty'
10:57 <Jackie> One that is stable, customizable
10:57 <Cepheid> Rifty: Pain in the arse, that one.
10:58 <ArchPegasusMichael> All mobile irc clients I see today are half-finished pet projects, freemium services, or closed source abandonware
10:58 <Jackie> That's the point
10:58 <Jackie> Like which one is not one of those?
10:58 <AppleDash> Discord is not great, because Discord is controlled by the Tencent overlords and other investors, rather than you. The staff can, and do, randomly ban you from the entire platform for saying anything even remotely out of line.
10:59 <ArchPegasusMichael> I'm using Yaaic
10:59 <AppleDash> Even if I got banned from Canternet for some reason, I can still go on Libera, or OFTC. Not so on Discord :)
10:59 <Dappled> Let's be real though, IRC hasn't been a super popular form of internet communication since at least the 70s or 80s. In the US at least.
10:59 <Jackie> Like an IRC client, no matter if it's still in development or stable, it's still being updated, it's FOSS and runs on mobile phones
11:00 <AppleDash> I've never had any problems with AndChat on Android.
11:00 * Dappled remembers growing up hearing about how predators used IRC chat rooms to chat up children.

11:00 <AppleDash> I use Weechat though, connected to Weechat running on one of my computers at home.
11:00 <ArchPegasusMichael> Jackie: Revolution, if the author didn't run out of steam
11:00 <Arion> Hmm... I'd extend that up at least until the mid 90s. Lots of early mmo players and communities based around various things had their own servers, or channels on other's servers.
11:00 <Jackie> Well
11:01 <Jackie> Revolution irc is updated since 2019
11:01 <Jackie> What happened
11:01 <AppleDash> If you want to see an IRC client for mobile with the features you want, go write your own
11:01 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Not exactly difficult. The issue is managing energy to keep enough to hover over it when the box rising attack happens, and to freakin' avoid getting bumped to it.
11:01 <AppleDash> And "last update" has nothing to do with "does this work or not"
11:01 <ConfusionRift> Touching it hurts so much.
11:01 <ArchPegasusMichael> Jackie: other life priorities, presumably
11:02 <Jackie> What I'm concerned is
11:02 <AppleDash> I have several open source projects of my own that have simply... reached the end of development. They work great, no problems at all, but people keep asking "is this project dead? is this project dead? why is the project dead?" it's not dead, it's DONE.
11:02 <Jackie> The more old it is, the more insecure it will become
11:02 <Arion> That's not necessarily true.
11:02 <Jackie> If you don't update it
11:02 <AppleDash> That's not true, no.
11:02 <Jackie> Or keep up development
11:02 <ArchPegasusMichael> Yaaic isn't done, because it falls apart once you decide to use SSL connection
11:03 <Jackie> Is yaaic still in dev?
11:03 <ArchPegasusMichael> No, abandoned
11:03 <AppleDash> Uh
11:03 <AppleDash> The last update was 18 days ago :p
11:03 <ArchPegasusMichael> New release?
11:04 <AppleDash> Mmm it looks to have been superficial. Because before that, the last update was in 2018
11:04 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2403 [ https://tinyurl.com/yz4wzjpu ]
11:04 <AppleDash> and it is indeed gone from Google Play
11:04 <AppleDash> I'm not sure WHY they changed something 18 days ago
11:04 <Jackie> Why didn't they made an APK of it
11:04 <ArchPegasusMichael> Pushed a chair across the room.
11:04 <Jackie> If it's done 18 days ago
11:04 <Jackie> Or release it in f-droid

11:05 <AppleDash> Why didn't you?
11:05 <AppleDash> Why didn't you make an IRC client 18 days ago?
11:05 <AppleDash> Why didn't you release it on f-droid?
11:05 <ArchPegasusMichael> There's been quite a few commits to it like that
11:05 <AppleDash> Why why why? Sometimes these questions don't need or have answers :p
11:06 <AppleDash> Weechat android is pretty much the standard at the moment - it is not a standalone IRC client, but when you set it up properly it's great & has been in active development forever.
11:06 <Jackie> Can it be done without requiring a Linux machine?
11:07 <Jackie> Because I used to have Linux then I quit using it
11:07 <AppleDash> I'm sure you could run it in WSL :p
11:07 <ArchPegasusMichael> Likely yes, but I was never interested in Weechat myself
11:08 <AppleDash> There's also Quassel, which also requires a server-side piece of software but is more user-friendly from my understanding
11:08 <Jackie> Is Weechat possible on Termux?
11:09 <AppleDash> I'm seeing the latest f-droid release of Revolution IRC as January 2021
11:09 <ArchPegasusMichael> Gtg, router got bugged again and now there's battery drain on my tablet
11:10 <Jackie> IRC clients aren't much of a problem
11:11 <Jackie> But what about your interests
11:11 <Jackie> Like IRCs are mostly seen as a place for programmers
11:11 <Jackie> What if you aren't a programmer though?
11:11 * Finwe noms on AppleDash's F-Droid repository list.
11:12 <Jackie> More like a gamer, likes ponies, drawing etc.
11:12 <Jackie> Is there an audience like that in IRC
11:16 * Cepheid wanders off to shower.
11:18 <Arion> I dunno... irc is just a basic chatting platform. I'm not sure it has a target audience. Or least, it never has before now. It's just old and requires more steps than just installing a program. So I suppose people just assume you have to be a 1337 hacker to use it.

13:22 * Schism yawn. "I'm pancake." Then she offers muffins to pones.
13:24 <Cepheid> Sounds like I have a job.
13:25 <Schism> Grats! Anything interesting?
13:25 <Cepheid> Order picking in a warehouse for Lee Valley Tools.
13:25 <Schism> Not too terribad. Hope it goes better than the WIS nonsense.
13:27 <Cepheid> I've worked there before. It's pretty straightforward and easy.
13:28 * Schism nodnods. "Straightforward is better than the twenty layers of [yay] that I remember you having to go through with WIS."
13:29 <Schism> https://twitter.com/orengijyusu/status/1433607318650777636 - "Your package is being delayed."
13:29 <Cepheid> The job consists of taking order sheets, navigating the warehouse and gathering the various items on the order sheet.
13:30 <Schism> Okay, am happier. Pharmacy fixed that dispensing fee issue.
13:30 * Schism noddles, "I am familiar with order picking!"
13:30 <Cepheid> The warehouse is laid out relatively sanely too, by size of items going from front to back.
13:31 <Cepheid> Whatever is in that box is round and likely not in good shape now.
13:32 <Schism> Cepheid: https://twitter.com/glowcoil/status/1433547359825321986
13:33 <Schism> And the way it's sounding, prooooobably not.
13:33 <Cepheid> I'm lawful good.
13:37 * Schism streeeetches. Multiple pops originate from her everywhere. "Oh right, I'm 35 now."
13:38 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
13:39 <Cepheid> Really the biggest issue I had with warehouse work is the feet. But I'll resolve that by getting some good insole inserts this time around.
13:39 <Schism> Mm, you'd think that steel toed boots would automatically come with really good insoles, but noooo.
13:39 <Cepheid> Nope.
13:40 <Schism> That would only make sense, after all.
13:40 <Cepheid> I want to keep THIS job, not just for my sanity but for my health.
13:40 <Cepheid> Last time I worked for LVT, I lost 30lbs.
13:40 <Cepheid> 8 hours of walking a day will lead to some weight loss.
13:41 <Schism> Oh, Bloodstained is half off again. Also, yeah, I need to get some actual exercise, just for muscle tone.
13:41 <Cepheid> Only other issue I recall is that I always came home too exhausted to do much else but lay in bed and sleep. But meh.

13:59 <Cepheid> Yeah, yesterday I wore a long-sleeve shirt myself.

14:30 <Cepheid> G'night.
14:31 * Schism sighs at the Discord server she's most often on. "All food topics invariably gravitate towards pizza."
14:36 <Cepheid> I'm debating what to have for dinner tonight, we have chilli, but my parents also stated I can order out if I want.
14:37 <Schism> Make spaghetti, pour chili and cheese over spaghetti, nom.
14:39 <Cepheid> We still have some hotdog buns left, I'm thinking pour some chilli into those.

14:39 <RazorSharpFang> I'm noticing an interesting theme with my investments. My unrealised losses keep growing, but so does my portfolio size as a whole.
14:40 <Schism> Gotta admit, if I were to do that, I'd add a hot dog, top it with diced onion and cheddar cheese, and then zoom off into the distance.
14:40 <RazorSharpFang> I do like onion. Do you like garlic?
14:44 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, no hotdogs available.
14:44 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Glowin' Up Gets an Offiical Music Video! [ https://tinyurl.com/yeh3nzof ]
14:45 <RazorSharpFang> I had an idea that you could butter a hotdog bun with minced garlic and butter mixed together for a garlic-bread hotdog.
14:45 <RazorSharpFang> But that's dependent on liking garlic.
14:48 <Cepheid> Apparently the buns are gone so I'll just substitute bread.

15:16 <ThatAnonPony> S'okay. Mostly sleepy recently, but sleepy isn't bad.

15:16 <Schism> Frustrated... but August is done with. Most folks are now back to school, so all that's left are the dregs, and then we have a few weeks to catch up on things before the holiday season.
15:17 <ThatAnonPony> Calm before the storm?
15:17 <Schism> Basically.
15:17 <Schism> Also managed to get in touch with my pharmacy, so the renewal of my prescription is done.
15:17 <Schism> Well, one prescription.
15:19 <Schism> Yesterday and Wednesday I spent a hugantic chunk of my time off just... going back and forth between my doctor's office and the pharmacy, and so that was of no benefit to my mental health. (Getting a chunk of my neck seared off helped, though.)
15:22 * ThatAnonPony applies snuggles?
15:22 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I'm probably being picked up for LVT's holiday period.
15:22 <Cepheid> Which means lots of orders I'll have to process.
15:23 * Schism supposes she might accept snuggles. Also, provides ThatAnonPony with a fried ham and swiss sandwich with an egg on top.

15:30 <Schism> Not that I've been following along with what's going on down there (to my detriment: I've heard NZ has the whole thing locked down, but AU, not so much), but ... I take it then that Morrison is heading the usual bang-up job the Liberals always do.
15:30 <Schism> (To those here in the northern hemisphere, and the West in particular, the Australian Liberal party occupies the same space as the Republicans and the Tories.)

15:44 * Cepheid runs Cookie Clicker in the background as they assassinates her way through Greece.
15:57 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, roughly.
15:58 <Schism> darnit.
15:58 <RazorSharpFang> It's a tough competition about who's the least-competent; the UK Tories, or the Aus Liberals
16:00 <Schism> On the one hand, you folks had Turnbull; on the other, the UK has Johnson.
16:00 <Schism> And we here in Canada had Harper.
16:00 <Schism> (And still have Ford here, for some idiotic reason.)
16:01 <RazorSharpFang> Isn't that a car company?
16:03 <Schism> Yes, but Rob Ford was previously the mayor of Toronto before he took enough drugs to turn him into a corpse, and now Doug Ford, his brother, is the provincial minister of Ontario.
16:03 <Schism> The premier, as it were.
16:04 * Schism is tempted to just let the cursor do its job in Cookie Clicker.
16:06 * Schism briefly names herself "Orteil", obtains achievement, goes back.
16:08 <Schism> Yes, I've clicked 15 times in Cookie Clicker. This is all I will click.
16:12 * ThatAnonPony steals a cookie.
16:16 * Schism has a few hundred right now.
16:16 <Cepheid> Bleh, it's only 12:16 PM?
16:17 <Schism> Yep.
16:17 <Cepheid> Feels much later to me.
16:17 <Cepheid> Guess I'll hunt monsters.
16:17 * Schism gets the first rolling pin upgrade.
16:18 <Cepheid> ...
16:18 * Cepheid starts a new character in World.
16:18 <RazorSharpFang> I'm actually playing the Kittens game, which is of a similar style to cookie clicker.
16:18 <Schism> Oh yes, kitten game is also quite good. I also suggest Paperclips.
16:18 <Cepheid> ... Nah, I'll just use my superpowered character to pick up a new weapon and practice with it, while crafting.
16:18 <Cepheid> I'll likely start a new character on the PS4 version when my sister decides to check the game out.
16:19 <RazorSharpFang> Turns out we got told that some pieces of equipment have a 1+ year lead time right now.
16:20 <Schism> "+30 cookies". ...lucky.
16:20 <Schism> RSF: Well, one year isn't too much in that game.
16:21 <RazorSharpFang> ...
16:22 <RazorSharpFang> This is for real-world equipment for our mining industry
16:22 <RazorSharpFang> *sweats nervously*
16:23 <Schism> Oh. ... um.
16:24 <Cepheid> A one year lead time, ow.
16:25 <RazorSharpFang> The warranty on those parts is a very good 3 years of service in 50-degree heat, dusty environment.
16:25 <RazorSharpFang> Maximum temperature of 75 C (air temperature)
16:27 * Schism decides to wait for a Cookie Mine.
16:29 <Schism> Kitten unlocked; that was fast.
16:43 <Schism> There we are. Neverclick achievement get.
16:44 <Schism> 15 clicks, 1 million cookies.
16:53 <Cepheid> Mmm, abandoned booze.
16:54 <Schism> 1.4m cookies for a bank... well, I can wait.
16:58 <Schism> I _guess_ a 1% boost will eventually pay for the 1m cookies this costs.

17:14 * Schism provides Ali with her choice of cookie. Has plain, sugar cookie, choklit chip, macadamia nut, peanut butter...
17:15 <Ali> So what exciting extras do you get for the steam version that makes it worth paying for?
17:15 <Schism> Eh, not seen anything yet, but considering Orteil's given me so much enjoyment, I didn't feel troubled throwing $5 their way.
17:15 <Schism> Has a soundtrack from the creator of Minecraft's.
17:16 <Ali> Then you're probably paying for that then.
17:16 <Ali> Cause the web based one was mute if I remember right.
17:16 <Schism> Mm.
17:17 * Schism waits for the next 10-million-cookie upgrade.
17:19 * Ali grumbles as her PC is acting up, websites loading slow and discord is a jumbled mess...goes for malwarebytes.
17:23 <Ali> Something is...very wrong
17:23 <Schism> mryrp.
17:23 <Schism> Refresh the Windows install, reset Firefox, etc?

17:36 <Schism> Sometimes that happens...
17:36 <Ali> This bad? It was completely crashing, removing the desktop and nothing had words
17:37 <Schism> Oh yes. I've had that before here, too.
17:38 * Ali nods, is running a virus scan just in case anyway
17:38 <Schism> Always good.
17:38 <Schism> CCleaner may be of some benefit.
17:38 * Ali uses Malwarebytes
17:38 <Schism> Yeah, but those two operate in different (albeit overlapping) spaces.
17:39 <Schism> CCleaner's more of a general cleanup program.
17:41 <Ali> Well it found nothing, so must of been a random windows screw up.
17:41 <Schism> Sometimes _that_ happens, too.
17:41 <Ali> Either that, or the age of this PC is finally starting to catch up to it.
17:48 * Schism bumps her cursors up to 95.
17:48 <Ali> Like the main core of my PC Schism is from a...Vista PC
17:48 <Schism> Er... yes...
17:48 <Schism> That'll do it. @_@
17:48 <Ali> So we're looking at a 16 year old motherboard
17:48 <Ali> I'm sure that's where a lot of bottlenecks are due to the slower processing speed.
17:49 <Ali> But upgrading a PC in this day and age is a bit crazy, as the costs of everything are sky high
17:49 <Schism> There are a few things. Are you on 10?
17:49 <Ali> I am on 10
17:49 * Angeline whinnies loudly.
17:49 <Schism> Got a weather/news icon at the bottom right?
17:49 * Angeline steals Schism's cookies.
17:50 <Schism> Go to News/Updates there upon right clicking, and select "Reduce Updates".
17:50 * Schism doesn't have that many cookies yet! Only about 50 million.
17:50 <Ali> Why?
17:50 * Ali steals Angeline for snuggles
17:50 <Schism> Cuts down on CPU usage.
17:51 * Angeline munches all of Schism's cookies.
17:51 <Schism> sigh. Should wait to get 70 million cookies for a bank upgrade...
17:51 * Schism acks. "Whyyy~"
17:52 <Schism> Oh, click frenzy. That works.
17:52 * Angeline looks up with a muzzle covered in cookie crumbs, realizing that she Has Been Caught.
17:52 * Schism pouts at Angeline.

18:01 <Starlight_Glimmer> So there are good deals there.
18:02 <Ali> Really I bet the differences is faster speed and the removal of the north and south bridges
18:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> SSDs can be had very cheaply. Mostly QLac though these days, again most people don't even notice
18:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> QLC*
18:03 <Ali> I have an SSD as a secondary drive to this one
18:03 <Starlight_Glimmer> RAM pricing I haven't checked lately, but if there had been a price explosion I probably would have noticed.
18:04 <Starlight_Glimmer> I don't have HDDs in devices I sit in front of anymore.

18:05 <Starlight_Glimmer> Even my NAS is going SSD when I need to upgrade. SSDs have become cheap enough that HDDs aren't worth the hassle for me anymore.
18:06 <Starlight_Glimmer> Well the money you saved on that Twilight playmat you could've spent on a decent SSD :3
18:07 <Starlight_Glimmer> Like for a boot drive that's like 50 bucks.
18:07 <Ali> I'm still upset about that
18:07 <Ali> And its still being scalped for $750 or higher.
18:08 * Ali crosses hooves and grumps
18:11 * Schism now starts getting sugar lumps. "The first sugar lump will mature after 23 hours." She ahs. "Right. That's a thing."
18:11 <Starlight_Glimmer> Well there's no Glim Glam playmat and the Luna one doesn't cut it, so I guess you didn't loose much *pat pats Ali*
18:12 <Ali> Still, the Twilight art is so cute..
18:12 <Schism> Almost as cute as Ali art?
18:12 <Ali> Jokes on you Schism I don't have arts, at least not much
18:13 <Schism> Should get a commission of grumpyface Ali.
18:13 * Ali has no moneys and art people like to charge too much
18:13 <Schism> Not charging too much, really... just too much for us.
18:16 <Ali> I've seen as high as 100 for art, I feel like that's a bit obsurd, but that's probably just me
18:16 <Starlight_Glimmer> Depends on the artist and amount of work they put in
18:17 <Starlight_Glimmer> For something NCMares I wouldn't consider it totally unreasonable.
18:18 <Schism> Some artists have charged a lot more for full body plus background, and I'd not consider that an issue.
18:18 <Schism> I wouldn't be able to _afford_ it, but artists need to eat, too, and they've spent that 10,000 hours.
18:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> Like my employer charges 119/€ hours for my work and that's probably too cheap honestly. It's not what I get paid though, don't get any ideas :P
18:19 <Schism> No, you get, what, 20 euros an hour?
18:19 <Starlight_Glimmer> Hour*
18:19 * Schism may be slightly upset at capitalism.
18:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> A tiny bit more, Schism, but yeah something around that mark :P
18:23 <Schism> "You partake in capitalism, you don't get to complain about it." "I'm FORCED to partake in capitalism, and that means I get to complain all I want!"
18:24 <Schism> Stupid fucking society full of leeches and parasites.
18:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> I mean they do have costs outside of my salary of course. You shouldn't ignore those. Also people who don't do customer work need to be paid.
18:24 <Schism> Yes, but a factor of five?
18:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> I wouldn't consider myself particularly well paid though
18:25 <Schism> And five's what you have, that's what they're TELLING you they earn.
18:26 <Starlight_Glimmer> Actually you can hide much from me in the company. I see the invoices, I have basically access to everything except a very few systems, e.g. the one doing our code signing
18:26 <Schism> I hope I'm not being too pushy here. I've been subjected to folks who tell me that the workplace is like a family... aha. o3o
18:26 <Starlight_Glimmer> Can't*

18:32 <Schism> My brother was subjected to just such a workplace, and when it turned toxic as hell, he threw off his coat and left.
18:32 <Ali> Yet the moment they need to save money
18:33 <Schism> It turns into an abusive family.
18:33 <Ali> They'll fire 1000 employees before that useless CEO
