| mrgoodcat | morning | 12:27 |
| wolfger | cmaloney: Telegram? | 15:03 |
| cmaloney | wolfger: Context? | 15:08 |
| wolfger | You made a change to Michigan Team on the wiki? | 15:08 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 15:09 |
| cmaloney | gamerchick02 started up a Telegram chat | 15:09 |
| cmaloney | It's some service that people who are on their phone a lot use. :) | 15:09 |
| wolfger | I have no idea what that is | 15:09 |
| wolfger | ah, ok | 15:09 |
| cmaloney | She wanted to start it up, so she did. :) | 15:09 |
| wolfger | a very FOSS concept! | 15:09 |
| jrwren | yay! | 15:10 |
| cmaloney | On very non-FOSS software. :) | 15:10 |
| cmaloney | but that's a nother topid | 15:10 |
| cmaloney | topic | 15:10 |
| jrwren | telegram is nice. i wish it were a bit more open source, but its nicer than others. | 15:10 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: exactly. | 15:10 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: could be worse, it could be slack ;] | 15:10 |
| cmaloney | PyOhio moved to slack | 15:10 |
| wolfger | What's wrong with Slackware? | 15:10 |
| cmaloney | I don't mind slack, but it has an "always on" problem. | 15:11 |
| jrwren | slack is a stupid web chat. slackware is a linux distro. nothing wrong with slackware other than its not ubuntu | 15:12 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: And Gartner... | 15:12 |
| cmaloney | (still looking for something nice to say) | 15:13 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: the only nice thing I can say is: it was a good keynote | 15:13 |
| jrwren | oh, I can also say that Strength Finder 2.0 is fun. | 15:13 |
| cmaloney | ? | 15:14 |
| jrwren | its a book... a book that comes with a test, and it is fun to get results, but the test is only good for 1 book copy | 15:14 |
| jrwren | so its a book sales scam because its less useful to lend the book or give the used book or check out as library book | 15:14 |
| cmaloney | So it's a personality test? | 15:15 |
| cmaloney | Discover your Top 5 Strengths or buy your Full 34 report. | 15:15 |
| cmaloney | Discover strengths today ยท Lead with your strengths | 15:15 |
| jrwren | right | 15:15 |
| jrwren | like I said, its fun. | 15:15 |
| jrwren | not particularly valuable or useful | 15:15 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 15:16 |
| cmaloney | Sounds about as accurate as a horoscope | 15:16 |
| jrwren | well, slightly more so. | 15:17 |
| cmaloney | "You are a natural leader, but you spend too much time on the internet" | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | "Focus on your key principles rather than your vague enfatuations" | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | "$5 please" | 15:18 |
| jrwren | I think its $40 | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | I'm starting my business | 15:19 |
| jrwren | because its free with purchase of hte book | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | Using a specially crafted algorithm (3d6) to give people personalized strength, intellegence, wisdom, dexterity, constitution, and charisma readings. | 15:20 |
| jrwren | yup | 15:20 |
| cmaloney | Maybe I could go 4d6, drop the lowest for an extra $5. | 15:20 |
| * cmaloney needs to come up with some snake-oil to sell | 15:21 | |
| jrwren | me too | 15:21 |
| jrwren | but that doesnt' sound fun. | 15:22 |
| jrwren | need to come up with something fun to sell. | 15:22 |
| cmaloney | Fun is hard | 15:22 |
| cmaloney | scamming people is easier. | 15:22 |
| jrwren | i think scamming people is hard. | 15:23 |
| cmaloney | Not in the business world | 15:23 |
| cmaloney | These are the same folks that spend $400 on a putter to shave off a stroke. | 15:24 |
| cmaloney | and $500 on a driver to have 10 yards. | 15:24 |
| cmaloney | shave | 15:24 |
| cmaloney | s/shave/increase their shitty stroke/ | 15:24 |
| jrwren | ah, so you want to sell to the Apple Watch Edition buyers. | 15:25 |
| jrwren | lol | 15:25 |
| cmaloney | Exactly | 15:26 |
| cmaloney | Anyone who wants to spend $10K on a piece of gold-plated electronics is my target audience | 15:26 |
| jrwren | i don't understand their values well enough to sell to them. | 15:27 |
| cmaloney | I'm not looking for Suzy Sufficient or Johnny Goodenuff; I want Kanye West. | 15:27 |
| cmaloney | I want the dude that spends $10K on a tube amp | 15:28 |
| cmaloney | More importantly I want toe dude who sspends $10K on ferrite cores to put in their listening room | 15:28 |
| jrwren | lol | 15:30 |

| Scary_Guy | Telegram has security issues though, I've switched to Silence (Formerly #SMSSecure ) | 21:20 |
| cmaloney | Sadly I think most of these have flaws that have yet to be exposed | 21:21 |
| cmaloney | The most obvious is having their data stored in a data center. | 21:21 |
| Scary_Guy | yeah, that's why I like Silence. you do a key exchange and there is no central server | 21:22 |
