greg-g:)15:41
jrwrengreg-g: its because we don't work on Ubuntu :(15:42
jcastrofundamentally working on ubuntu is just boring/finished for me.15:43
jcastroso many more problems to solve on top of the platform15:43
jcastrowhich are more interesting, aka. giving people kubernetes or a libswarm cluster, etc.15:43

jcastrolol15:44
jcastroI always answer any question people have15:44
greg-glol15:44
greg-gjcastro: what color undies today?15:44
cmaloneyI didn't even know I needed a kubernetes until jcastro told me I needed one15:44
jcastrodark grey, next15:45
jcastrocmaloney: I didn't say you needed kubernetes!15:45
jrwrengreg-g: you shouldn't ask that. Have you seen @aphyr's twitter feed?15:45
greg-guhhh,no?15:45
jrwrencmaloney: you don't need a kubernetes.15:45
jrwrengreg-g: depending on work envirnonment you may not want to.15:45
greg-gthis ain't work for me :)15:45
cmaloneySo basically Ubuntu Desktop is unmaintained then? ;)15:49
jcastroit's about the same level as unmaintained as every other desktop15:50

jcastrothis is what windows 10's control panels look like15:52
jcastroyes, panels, plural15:52
jcastrothey have 215:52
jcastroapparently made by two totally different companies.15:53
cmaloneyTook a design cue from Blackberry / Lotus Notes15:53
jcastroI was thinking more like GTK in 200215:53
cmaloneySame thing15:54
cscheibwindows has had 2 control panels for a really long time anyway15:55
cscheibthere's the stupid task view15:55
cscheibor the icon view15:55
jcastrowell, it's been like 15 years though15:55
jcastrothey're a multi-billion dollar company15:55
jcastrowe have an excuse, a handful of a few engineers and some part time volunteers15:56
cmaloneyMicrosoft has never been too keen on folks mucking with their control settings anyway15:56
jcastroyeah but that's not the point15:56
jcastrohave one or the other15:56
cmaloneyThat's partly why they're so confusingly laid out : They don't expect you tofind then15:56
cmaloneythem15:56
jcastrooh I never go looking for them, I just search15:57
jcastrohmm, apparently MS has ~6000 people working on windows15:57
cscheibyea, search fixes most of my problems15:59
jcastroI don't think I've browsed a menu in like 3 years15:59
jcastroon any OS15:59
jcastrothough, I think people are kind of overblowing the windows 10 thing16:00
jcastro"omg it has a keylogger"16:00
jcastroof course it does dude, how do you think predictive text correction works16:00
cscheibthey always go all nutty about everything16:01
cscheibgotta have something to bitch about16:01
jcastrothere was a guy on a debian list complaining that his web browser made remote connections to remote servers16:01
jcastroit's like, you know that's the definition of what a browser does16:01
cscheib"here's TCPDUMP output with my username and password in it, because I didn't use SSL"16:02
cscheibjcastro: well, I mean, you can browse your filesystem with it, but it's not particularly effective at that16:03
jcastrospeaking of worthless tech16:04
jcastroI got some amazon dash buttons16:04
jcastrothey're so awesome, it literally is worthless16:04
jcastroyou push a button and it orders garbage bags from amazon16:04
cmaloneyjcastro: /me makes it his life's mission to teach your dogs to push those buttons16:05
jcastrothey're actually kind of neat, they are DDoS proof16:06
jcastroso it only orders on item, and you can't order another one until the one you asked for is delivered16:06
jcastroso like you can't just push my button 50 times and cost me money16:06
cmaloneyHah, nice.16:06
* cmaloney is listening to Procol Harum - Conquistador16:07
cmaloney<316:08
jcastroI want to hack them to do other IoT-like things though16:09
jcastroturn on/off lights, etc.16:09
cscheib"the Tide button is rave mode for the basement"16:09
cmaloneyhah16:09
jcastroif I could tie it to that company in AA that delivers beer16:09
jcastroman16:09
jcastroyou know that would be awesome16:09
cmaloneyI'd settle for the fridge coming to me16:10
cscheibI'm sure Uber will add alcohol delvery eventually16:11
cscheibthey're already starting on restaurant delivery16:11
