sebsebseboh I joined here earlier09:55
sebsebseb,but put noting in here about Wndows 10 hmm09:55
sebsebsebtwo other channels though yes09:56
sebsebsebanyway seems Desktop Linux will get some real compettion from it09:56
sebsebseband most users wil get it for free when upgraing from Windows 7 or 8 to it seems.09:56
sebsebsebhttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/01/windows-10-microsoft-plan-to-win-users-back09:56
bashrcugh. it's closed source. How can anyone trust that?09:57
sebsebsebbashrc: so is Apple or most of it, but yet the amount of users09:57
bashrccode that you can't see is code that you can't trust09:58
sebsebsebindeed, but most computer users don't really know about that09:58
davmor2sebsebseb: no it won't Desktop linux has never been competition for windows in reality,  Chrome OS on the other hand is the closest thing that Microsoft have to real competition and that again is pretty closed too09:58
sebsebsebwell  and Android09:58
sebsebsebthen09:58
sebsebsebthat's competion to09:58
sebsebsebdavmor2: well  Desktop Linux was meant to replace Unix, it's just for  lots of people or usauly it can replace using WIndows to yeah09:59
sebsebsebif that's what you meant09:59
popeythat doesn't mean they see it as competition09:59
davmor2sebsebseb: no microsoft is trying to be competition to android on devices, MS already lost that battle and is playing catch up09:59
popeyin fact I had a marketing VP of Microsoft tell me "We have no competition"09:59
sebsebsebpopey: I think there was some old  thing from a few years back,  where  on Microsoft's competition list or well potential threats competion list, they actaully put Canonical as well09:59
bashrc"convenient and powerful", but probably bugged10:00
sebsebsebpopey: yeah  Apple aim at a diffenrwdt market really, so even that, isn't really porper compeition to them10:00
davmor2sebsebseb: no I mean that when you own 90% of the desktop market the other 10% split between your competition they are not really competition10:00
bashrc"universal" meaning the apps only run on Windows10:00
popeyit's less that they have no competition, more they are somewhat arrogant to think they have no competition10:00
sebsebsebdavmor2: espeically with Apple yeah, and what's that like10:00
sebsebsebdavmor2: aiming for  those who want to pay premium prices10:01
sebsebsebinstead of pretty much anyone10:01
sebsebseband those who think the Apple design and look is so  something, but that's another hting10:01
sebsebsebanyway  Windows 10 wil move most of the computer using world forward,  because like it or not, that's what most computer users are going to use on lap tops and destkops  that are being used at the time, or well probably10:03
bashrcor backwards10:03
popeyheh10:03
sebsebsebor backwards maybe yeah, depending on how it's looked at10:03
popeysebsebseb: its still not open source / free software :)10:03
bashrcmore centralised, closed crap10:03
sebsebsebpopey: maybe 30 years time they open source Windows :d10:04
sebsebsebwhen  it's  not realy used anymoe heh10:04
sebsebsebthey did that with a version of DOS actually10:04
popeynot really10:04
popeythey made it available for a museum10:04
popeythey didn't "open source" it10:04
bashrc"harmony in your household"10:04
sebsebseboh, well I don't remember quite hten, but I think I may have read that it got open sourced,  but as I said I don't remember uqite10:04
bashrc"co-engineering project"?10:05
bashrcat the end of the advert I think they're trying to coopt some of the language of open source10:05
sebsebsebin fact maybe in 30 years time,  ReactOS wil be ready to replace WIndows being used by most people or not,  shame really about the such slow development of ReactOS since lack of developers, I mean imagine that if it was more developed much more developed10:05
popeyyes, people thought "ooh, source code" and thought it meant "open source"10:06
popeygiven how many thousands of developers microsoft has, reactos will _always_ be playing catch up10:06
popeyand some way behind10:06
popeyMS had some thousand or so people working on one device for example.10:06
bashrcthat MS had a thousand developers on a device shows how inefficient they must be. It must be quite hard to coordinate a team of that size10:14
popeyoh I dunno. it takes a lot to make a whole new device10:14
popey(Microsoft HoloLens)10:14
sebsebsebHoloLens ???????10:14
sebsebsebwhat's that or was that a joke?10:14
popeyno10:14
bashrcthat's true, but a thouand? That seems like an incredibly large team10:14
popeysure10:15
popeySamsung recently moved a thousand people to work on Tizen10:15
* sebsebseb waits for first Ubuntu Phone :d10:15
popeythese are huge companies10:15
sebsebsebyeah OS's take time to make.....  how long depnds on how made, waht people etc etc,  but right we all know that here I guess anyway :d10:15
* bashrc thinks open source is maybe a thin blue line10:15
popeysebsebseb: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/01/hands-on-with-hololens-making-the-virtual-real/10:24
awilkinsSure a lot of those thousand are people making demo content and apps, people marketing, etc10:26
awilkinsIn general I like Microsoft peripheral hardware10:26
awilkinsTheir mice / joysticks / gamepads are all solid and good quality10:27

awilkinsHmm. cybernova may just be some kinda innovative spammer, but who spams IRC channels....11:50
awilkinsAnd this HelloFresh thing looks like my kinda thing actually.11:50
* Myrtti_ just cooks from the Hairy Dieters books and orders stuff from Tesco11:51
awilkinsReally, I should just adopt a routine of committing to opening one of the vast quantity of recipe books I have and cooking a new thing at least once a week11:56

popeyyou pick recipes, they send you the exact ingredients and a recipe card12:04
Myrtti_incidentally I've lost nearly 12kilos since we started Hairy Dieters. With occasional relapse into a chicken kebab and Christmas without gaining any weight.12:06
Myrtti_we started in September I think12:06
=== Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti
awilkinsMy problem is lack of exercise12:06
awilkinsDoing this new job working at home and my home/life balance is still wobbling about12:07
Myrttiso is mine, but if I go exercise with all this bulk I'll break my knees to even worse condition12:07
Myrttiso, weightloss with a food regimen first12:07
awilkinsNeed to set a timer or something and delineate when worktime stops and exercise time starts12:07
awilkinsMyrtti, build some muscle mass as well ; a great passive slimming aid12:08
awilkinsShould be able to do that with low-impact exercise12:08
* awilkins shuts up and concentrates on his own health12:09
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
Myrttiyeah, that is the long time plan. I'm just a bit limited with my options on low-impact and having already once hurt myself in the gym permanently, it's a bit scary to start over.12:33

diddledanI suck22:24
shaunoit's okay dan.  we're way past expecting you to make sense :)22:24
daftykinsd'aww22:24
diddledanthis looks really fun: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3339966/22:30
daftykins0o22:33
diddledanit helps that it's entirely original tv rather than "marvel's <insert random comic book hero du jour here>"22:34
diddledanthe world is surely going to get fed up with marvel soon22:35
diddledanif it hasn't already22:35

daftykinshaha22:36
daftykinsthere are only 13 eps per season for 1-5, ~50 mins each22:36
diddledanaah, that helps22:36
daftykinsbut yeah pretty much watch one or two every day22:36
diddledanusual run for an american series seems to be about 20ish?22:36
daftykinsyip22:37
daftykinsthey seemed to make them do that for season 622:37
daftykinsi was gonna watch that windows 10 event, but 2 hours? ugh22:37
diddledanbritish tv on the other hand is 6 eps22:37
daftykinsthe brief recaps will suffice ;)22:37
daftykinsSopranos was thankfully from a time before all this tendancy to become poorly written due to being pushed for ratings, it seems like22:42
