[11:48] morning [11:49] <_stink_> yo [11:57] 'sup? [12:27] morning [15:03] cmaloney: Telegram? [15:08] wolfger: Context? [15:08] You made a change to Michigan Team on the wiki? [15:09] Yeah [15:09] gamerchick02 started up a Telegram chat [15:09] It's some service that people who are on their phone a lot use. :) [15:09] I have no idea what that is [15:09] ah, ok [15:09] She wanted to start it up, so she did. :) [15:09] a very FOSS concept! [15:10] yay! [15:10] On very non-FOSS software. :) [15:10] but that's a nother topid [15:10] topic [15:10] telegram is nice. i wish it were a bit more open source, but its nicer than others. [15:10] cmaloney: exactly. [15:10] cmaloney: could be worse, it could be slack ;] [15:10] PyOhio moved to slack [15:10] What's wrong with Slackware? [15:11] I don't mind slack, but it has an "always on" problem. [15:12] slack is a stupid web chat. slackware is a linux distro. nothing wrong with slackware other than its not ubuntu [15:12] jrwren: And Gartner... [15:13] (still looking for something nice to say) [15:13] cmaloney: the only nice thing I can say is: it was a good keynote [15:13] oh, I can also say that Strength Finder 2.0 is fun. [15:14] ? [15:14] 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] 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 [15:15] So it's a personality test? [15:15] Discover your Top 5 Strengths or buy your Full 34 report. [15:15] Discover strengths today · Lead with your strengths [15:15] right [15:15] like I said, its fun. [15:15] not particularly valuable or useful [15:16] Heh [15:16] Sounds about as accurate as a horoscope [15:17] well, slightly more so. [15:18] "You are a natural leader, but you spend too much time on the internet" [15:18] "Focus on your key principles rather than your vague enfatuations" [15:18] "$5 please" [15:19] I think its $40 [15:19] I'm starting my business [15:19] because its free with purchase of hte book [15:20] Using a specially crafted algorithm (3d6) to give people personalized strength, intellegence, wisdom, dexterity, constitution, and charisma readings. [15:20] yup [15:20] Maybe I could go 4d6, drop the lowest for an extra $5. [15:21] * cmaloney needs to come up with some snake-oil to sell [15:21] me too [15:22] but that doesnt' sound fun. [15:22] need to come up with something fun to sell. [15:22] Fun is hard [15:22] scamming people is easier. [15:23] i think scamming people is hard. [15:23] Not in the business world [15:24] These are the same folks that spend $400 on a putter to shave off a stroke. [15:24] and $500 on a driver to have 10 yards. [15:24] shave [15:24] s/shave/increase their shitty stroke/ [15:25] ah, so you want to sell to the Apple Watch Edition buyers. [15:25] lol [15:26] Exactly [15:26] Anyone who wants to spend $10K on a piece of gold-plated electronics is my target audience [15:27] i don't understand their values well enough to sell to them. [15:27] I'm not looking for Suzy Sufficient or Johnny Goodenuff; I want Kanye West. [15:28] I want the dude that spends $10K on a tube amp [15:28] More importantly I want toe dude who sspends $10K on ferrite cores to put in their listening room [15:30] lol === nodoubleg is now known as nodoubleg-lunch === nodoubleg-lunch is now known as nodoubleg [21:20] Telegram has security issues though, I've switched to Silence (Formerly #SMSSecure ) [21:21] Sadly I think most of these have flaws that have yet to be exposed [21:21] The most obvious is having their data stored in a data center. [21:22] yeah, that's why I like Silence. you do a key exchange and there is no central server
