[04:09] <daftykins> uuuuuuuuuugh why did i click =|
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: morning
[04:38] <daftykins> o/
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> daftykins: hellow :p
[04:38] <daftykins> morning sir
[04:38] <daftykins> ugh you missed one of the lower points of the channel =|
[04:38] <daftykins> a bloody spammer linked to child porn again =|
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> what happened
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> ouch
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> who banned him?
[04:39] <daftykins> i did an !ops and thankfully Flannel showed up
[04:39] <lotuspsychje> why they always choose ubuntu to spam lol
[04:39] <daftykins> it's weird isn't it? ##windows i can imagine
[04:39] <daftykins> something genuinely hated
[04:39] <lotuspsychje> lol
[04:40] <daftykins> but volunteers helping for free for a Linux distro, just don't get it
[04:40] <lotuspsychje> maybe MS hired freaks to spam haha
[04:40] <daftykins> there are those who don't like the way the channel is run, of course
[04:40] <daftykins> XD
[04:41] <lotuspsychje> we are getting power worldwide with ubuntu now
[04:41] <lotuspsychje> some might not be happy about that
[04:41] <daftykins> the pretentious might have a problem with the masses using Linux yeah
[04:42] <daftykins> i've attracted a few fans in my time that come in just trying to troll me, that's for sure
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> lolz
[04:43] <daftykins> it's funny, sometimes you can spend 3 hours straight helping someone get ubuntu installed on their machine
[04:44] <daftykins> but a next user comes in and you call them out for being too lazy to even google their problem - and you get a fan for life :P
[04:44] <lotuspsychje> yeah i never get that
[04:44] <lotuspsychje> loool
[04:44] <daftykins> not sure if you have this phrase us Brit-ish types do, "no good deed goes unpunished"
[04:45] <lotuspsychje> well at the end we have a good felling upon ourselfs thats the only thing that matters to me
[04:46] <daftykins> mmm, puzzle solving can be ace
[04:46] <lotuspsychje> and we learn much ourselfs
[04:47] <daftykins> definitely - i mean i don't even USE ubuntu 8D
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> oh really
[04:47] <daftykins> desktop anyway ;D
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> wich distro?
[04:49] <daftykins> *cough* Windows
[04:49] <lotuspsychje> :p
[04:50] <daftykins> my ubuntu exposure is primarily servers
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> you game?
[04:51] <daftykins> mostly on consoles as i have friends too poor to buy PCs :)
[04:51] <daftykins> nah the majority of my work remains on Windows desktops so that's where my skills must stay
[04:52] <lotuspsychje> ic
[04:52] <daftykins> although it's a little worrying that i can still suggest reasonable solutions to Linux desktop queries people in other channels have, even when surrounded by people who use Linux desktops 24/7
[04:53] <daftykins> e.g. someone installed Linux for their mother back home, wanted to setup remote access... but that mother still took her laptop out and about occasionally
[04:53] <daftykins> so i said configure a static IP for the home wifi network via network manager
[04:53] <daftykins> nobody else had a clue :(
[04:53] <daftykins> i feel bad for kind of "ringing my own bell" there as we say, but it just shocked me that 24/7 Linux desktop types had no idea how to tackle that problem
[04:54] <lotuspsychje> :p
[04:55] <lotuspsychje> i try a mix of windows and ubuntu, but prefer to install ubuntu as its a long term solution
[04:55] <daftykins> there is that, all the people i help are locked into some proprietary software or another though
[04:55] <daftykins> and i would never put ubuntu in for anyone because i simply couldn't support it without using it myself
[04:55] <lotuspsychje> some ppl also dont understand ubuntu
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> but most multimedia use, have no troubles
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> my dad is 78 and never managed to crash ubuntu desktop yet :p
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> before i had to come fix windows every month
[04:58] <daftykins> i just remember back in the gnome 2 era, pre unity, when ubuntu couldn't even keep panel elements in the same places between boots
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> lol
[04:58] <daftykins> bit shocking :/
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> we come a long way indeed
[04:59] <lotuspsychje> i remember strugling on old redhat cdroms to get my internet working
[04:59] <lotuspsychje> but it fascinated me alot
[05:03] <daftykins> :D
[05:04] <daftykins> shared internet connections behind routers with wired or wifi definitely made it way easier for the modern generations
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> yeah true
[05:04] <daftykins> i think the first Linux i played with i was just missing my music collection
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> amarok :p
[05:07] <daftykins> i think it was stick on separate disks at the time
[05:07] <daftykins> and being too newb i would've had no idea how to mount some NTFS volume, if you even could back then
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> lolz
[05:13] <lotuspsychje> lol
