Tue 23:33:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i'm not aware of any rooms disappearing
Tue 23:35:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I opened it up and it connected to the server last night.
Tue 23:35:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But then no rooms.
Tue 23:35:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When I tried to enter the rooms it wouldn't join.
Tue 23:35:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then I asked it to list the rooms and there were no rooms.
Tue 23:35:50 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ did it give you any error messages?
Tue 23:35:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No.
Tue 23:36:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I read something interesting this morning.
Tue 23:36:07 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ if a channel doesn't exist and you try to join it, it's supposed to be created
Tue 23:36:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Israel claims it bombed all of Iran's F-14 Tomcats and they're all destroyed.
Tue 23:37:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then a former American F-14 pilot who retired with the rank of Commander in the Navy, stated that he has looked at all these F-14s on satellite images over the years and the ones Israel bombed haven't moved in 5-6 years.
Tue 23:37:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He stated that they were all wooden decoys.
Tue 23:37:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i guess israel is taking a page from cheeto hitler's book
Tue 23:37:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You don't just park an expensive fighter jet out in the open and not move it anywhere for 5-6 years.
Tue 23:38:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not a real one.
Tue 23:38:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Especially when it's irreplaceable.
Tue 23:38:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When the US still operated the F-14, there were many scandals where Americans were convicted of trying to send Iran replacement parts.
Tue 23:39:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It disturbed the Pentagon so much that in 2006 when we stopped flying them, instead of sending them to be parked in Arizona where they wouldn't rust and just mothballing them in case of an emergency, they were all destroyed.
Tue 23:39:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because they didn't want people in our military to take parts off of them and sell them to Iran.
Tue 23:40:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The F-14 isn't really a threat to the fighter jets that the US operates now.
Tue 23:41:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But it was an incredibly capable fighter jet by the standards of most countries, even today.
Tue 23:41:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A lot of them still rely heavily on Soviet fighter jets that are far less capable than the F-14 was.
Tue 23:43:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Russia does have some good modern tank designs, but like everything else, they're having trouble producing them in numbers that matter.
Tue 23:43:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The US hasn't lost any aircraft to enemy fire so far in Iran, but we've lost three F-15s to Kuwaiti air defenses in a friendly fire incident.
Tue 23:43:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And a KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed due to pilot error.
Tue 23:44:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I read that we lost ten MQ-9 Reaper drones. Those are very expensive drones, but unmanned. And again, shot down by "friendly fire".
Tue 23:45:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ With Iran sending so many Shahed drones into the same area where we're operating, it's bound to happen that air defenses will shoot down some of ours by mistake.
Tue 23:45:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I thought it was amusing that our Air Force and our allies are more of a danger to our pilots than Iran is.

Tue 23:47:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I wonder if Trump will just do what he always does.
Tue 23:48:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not mention it and keep insisting that everyone he endorses wins.

Tue 23:49:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Tue 23:49:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Another clue to increased crankcase pressure is a dipstick that is continually being pushed up, away from the dipstick tube. In this case, the pressure has vented itself out of the dipstick tube."
Tue 23:49:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, That's an interesting way to diagnose a stuck ring.
Tue 23:50:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If the dipstick won't stay plugged into the tube.
Tue 23:50:57 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Tue 23:51:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sometimes you can get lucky and free a stuck ring without having to disassemble the engine. Sometimes it's caused by sludge from not changing the oil often enough.
Tue 23:51:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In that case an engine flush might work.

Wed 00:29:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A 12 percentage point swing.
Wed 00:30:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ After Trump mailed in his ballot, after calling mail-in ballots "mail-in cheating".
Wed 00:30:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Oh, a state house district, meh.
Wed 00:30:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Anyway, very funny.

Wed 00:33:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I just saw a Youtube video with a GTA Vice City play through.

Wed 15:47:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] some people still assume we are there
Wed 15:47:59 │ 〖newuser51〗 │ thats me
Wed 15:48:14 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] because one person parked there and registered the channel
Wed 15:48:32 │ 〖newuser51〗 │ this irc is directly connected with/to techrights.org ?
Wed 15:48:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yes
Wed 15:49:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] <superkuh> It was not a great time. And the techrights fucks were down with it just because they didn't like staff.
Wed 15:49:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] <dogg0> interesting.. even libera ppl seemed hostile when i asked
Wed 15:49:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] <dogg0> superkuh, where you recommend for like minded us?
Wed 15:49:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] that is not true
Wed 15:49:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] he keeps saying thiiisd
Wed 15:49:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we did not support andrew lee
Wed 15:49:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we didn't support branching off to a more political network
Wed 15:50:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and by political i mean more CoC-heavy, where peopple get banned for political wrongthink
Wed 15:50:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] or alleged wrongthink
Wed 15:50:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] that was already becoming an issue in freenode
Wed 15:50:20 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] they were banning pro-RMS peopole
Wed 15:50:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] then they secretly created libera.chat
Wed 15:50:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and tried to herd everyone to that
Wed 15:50:46 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] where they can exercise more speech control
Wed 15:50:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we said no
Wed 15:50:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] arround april or march 2021
Wed 15:51:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] then things boiled over
Wed 15:51:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we moved to our own network
Wed 15:53:19 │ 〖newuser51〗 │ forgive me whats rms
Wed 15:53:35 │ 〖newuser51〗 │ stallman?>
Wed 15:53:38 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yes
Wed 15:53:48 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, i "didn't like staff" because "staff" brought cancel culture into free software and attempted to cancel RMS
Wed 15:54:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ which is a bit of a red flag when it comes to running an IRC network that's supposed to support free software
Wed 15:54:07 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] ime (in my experience):
Wed 15:54:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the tarjectory, goes like,
Wed 15:54:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] a) we boycott nazis
Wed 15:54:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ (apparently the FSF didn't mind, but that's because they capitulated)
Wed 15:54:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] (fine, i understand
Wed 15:54:43 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] then, b) nazis is people who have these new criteria
Wed 15:54:52 │ 〖newuser51〗 │ how do i say this without making me seem dumb, but i just dont understand how they can have that point of view, like im genuinely trying to understand
Wed 15:55:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and then people who have xyz opinions on tech are presumed nazis like (b)
Wed 15:55:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] don't like wayland? nazi
Wed 15:55:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] MinceR: no
Wed 15:55:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] RMS told me
Wed 15:55:58 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] they had crisis
Wed 15:56:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, the crisis isn't over
Wed 15:56:07 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] in march 2021 rms came back to the board
Wed 15:56:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and then the microsoft petition came
Wed 15:56:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] by microsoft/ibm
Wed 15:56:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the fsf was reeling
Wed 15:56:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and losingf staff
Wed 15:56:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] theyh didn't havee capacity to start creating a new irc network
Wed 15:56:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] which i advised them to do
Wed 15:56:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ maybe it makes more sense to run an organization in support of free software with smaller staff rather than with staff that is ideologically opposed to free software
Wed 15:57:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] you could say so
Wed 15:57:26 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] there are many facets
Wed 15:57:35 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] as you may already know
Wed 15:57:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] 1) architectural ind.
Wed 15:57:43 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] 2) hosting ind.
Wed 15:57:47 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] (hard with ISPs)
Wed 15:57:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] 3) legal ind.
Wed 15:57:51 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it doesn't seem to take a lot, if they already have servers with a reliable Internet connection (unlike my VPS-es...)
Wed 15:57:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] that last means means you cvannoot be blacklmailed by proxy
Wed 15:58:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] that can be accomplished by various means
Wed 15:58:20 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] they like to issue blackmail by proxy
Wed 15:58:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it's a "hack"

Thu 20:40:14 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they don't even make them in the usa, do they
Thu 20:44:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, The USA doesn't make anything really.
Thu 20:44:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Unless it can be automated by at least 90%.
Thu 20:44:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So there are certain things we produce a lot of if it can be highly automated.
Thu 20:44:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But the jobs are basically gone either way.
Thu 20:45:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I was looking at the Hyundai/KIA factory in Georgia where they made that 2018 KIA I had repossessed.
Thu 20:45:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's mostly automated, and they're investing in humanoid robots to do many of the other jobs.
Thu 20:45:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So more auto workers will lose their jobs, but the price of the car won't come down.
Thu 20:45:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you're lucky it just won't go up more than it has for a while.
Thu 20:46:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But then you run into problems where over the span of the whole economy, everyone loses their jobs and nobody can buy the stuff anymore.
Thu 20:46:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Henry Ford said that it was good for business to have well paid workers who could buy the product.
Thu 20:47:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I always said that Walmart's model in the 2000s was unsustainable because you had 1.4 million people working at Walmart, which is larger than the US military by headcount, but most of them had to shop for things at Dollar Tree and Aldi and go on welfare.
Thu 20:50:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When one company does layoffs and efficiency drives, it might work out for them, and increase profits.
Thu 20:51:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When they all do it, it means eventually there's no customers, and the economy goes ahead and fails.
Thu 20:51:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The political environment destabilizes because nobody can find work, and some demand welfare expansion.
Thu 20:51:26 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2026/03/26/workplace_ai_forrester/
Thu 20:51:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Less people paying tax makes welfare expansion impossible, and drives inflation.
Thu 20:51:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Eventually, the government will cause a war (like Iran) and use the Army to capture the unemployed workers.
Thu 20:56:14 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ https://walledculture.org/why-genai-means-the-end-of-copyright-for-software-and-the-re-invention-of-open-source/
Thu 21:00:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There was a joke on Facebook about test driving a car just because gas prices are so high. I remember mom test drove a pickup truck for the evening in the 90s and used it to help my Aunt move to another apartment. Then we were going to have Thanksgiving with her cousin and his wife up in Fort Wayne in 1998, and she went to a car dealership and asked to test drive a new Buick Century for the evening. I enjoyed that. A brand new Buick
Thu 21:00:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ with leather seats and an air ride suspension. That was the best car ride ever. You're not supposed to do that, but my mom has always done things like this.
Thu 21:01:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz-TR2, The older Buicks were awesome. Many of the 1998 models are still working.
Thu 21:01:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They don't look the best anymore, but they work, and most of the parts are original.
Thu 21:02:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm convinced that the Type 2 ignition coils have even gotten worse over the years.
Thu 21:02:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I've seen 1991 models with the original, numbered, factory coils.
Thu 21:02:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But I bought some GM Original Parts coils off Amazon and one of them failed 3 months later.
Thu 21:05:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Classic lesson in "Leave it alone!"
Thu 21:05:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I figured that I would do some preventive maintenance because coils can fail every so often and they were all the ones that came with the car. Turned out the joke was on me.

Thu 21:33:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz-TR2, Imperial margarine is on sale for $2.99 a pound this week for Easter I guess.
Thu 21:33:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I remember it was 49 cents a pound around 1993 or so
Thu 21:35:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They can lie to us and say inflation is whatever they want to say it is. I was there in the 90s and remember what we paid for things, and depending on what it was, the cost is now 6-8 times higher in many cases. Sometimes it's only triple, like a comparable new car (only they aren't made as well now).
