Tue 22:25:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] For those who are new here...Kyndryl is the former IBM Global Technology Services (GTS) business, also known as strategic outsourcing. Old timers would recognize it as division 07, the part of the business that managed customer data centers.
Tue 22:25:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] GTS was spun off for a bunch of "structural" reasons, the most basic being that the transition to cloud computing invalidated a lot of IBM's product and service offerings. IBM spun off the business into a separate company, and spun off lots of now-former IBM employees along with it. But just as the business was having troubles under the IBM brand, it is suffering the same troubles with the Kyndryl brand. As many here predicted ear
Tue 22:25:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] ly on, a lot of customers bailed as soon as their multi-year service contracts came up for renewal. In a world of cloud computing and software+hardware as a service, who wants to make multi-year capital investments in IT infrastructure and have IBM or Kyndryl run them?
Tue 22:25:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Set aside the admittedly colorful discussions about incompetent and corrupt management. Yeah, it's all true, but the real problem with Kyndryl is that the business was doomed to failure from the start.

Tue 22:39:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], I uncovered a bit about Gonad. Not that it matters anymore.
Tue 22:39:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When he and Mom divorced, the judge ordered them to maintain a joint bank account where she'd put some money they owed to the IRS until it was paid off.
Tue 22:39:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So she had direct deposits going into that account and didn't realize it had been paid off.
Tue 22:40:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Eventually she walked into the bank one day and there was a new teller that was there. Mom asked for money out of her account, and the teller said "Which one? Yours or the one your husband Brian comes and takes money out of every week?"
Tue 22:41:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She found out that Brian had paid off the IRS and never told her and he was coming in there and getting her money and walking out the door of the bank with it every week.
Tue 22:42:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So she went to her divorce lawyer and the divorce lawyer called his, and said "My client is in here and wants to know why your client has stolen over $2700 out of that account."
Tue 22:42:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And she said "If he doesn't pay, do you want him in jail?" and Mom said, "Yes I do."
Tue 22:42:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So Brian hurried up and took out a personal loan to pay her back.
Tue 22:43:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then I found out after he died that he had gone to Citi Financial (which is now OneMain) and taken out a personal loan at 29.99% interest and never paid that back. They filed a case after he died, and his widow just said "Well, he's dead."
Tue 22:43:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :P
Tue 22:43:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mom said, "I wonder what that was."
Tue 22:44:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I said, "One of his kids was probably in jail again and needed bail."
Tue 22:44:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The amount of the loan is about what bail on a Class A Misdemeanor in Indiana tends to be.

Wed 03:21:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ First there's huge settlements, but then it dies down.
Wed 03:21:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because corporate compliance gets with the program.
Wed 03:21:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they start conforming to the law more often.
Wed 03:22:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Many corporations just assume the worst now, like that anyone might be in California for their Consumer Privacy Act.
Wed 03:22:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or that anyone might be in Illinois because they lost $750 million on a BIPA settlement.
Wed 03:22:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I mean that settlement is small by the standards of how much money Facebook throws around.
Wed 03:23:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But it's a large loss because they committed a specific wrong.

Wed 04:18:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "Stallman is the founder of GNU, not Linux. Torvalds created Linux. The only real connection is that Linux uses the GPL license and is compiled with GCC. They are distinct projects.
Wed 04:18:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "GNU/Linux" is a concept introduced by Stallman which can be debatable, but he is not the founder of Linux.'
Wed 04:19:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not even something the Illinois State Police would have.
Wed 04:19:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] linux without gnu programs would do little
Wed 04:19:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You're talking about the Feds at this point.

Wed 04:22:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], There's a bunch of automated license plate readers everywhere now.
Wed 04:22:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The State says it does not help ICE.
Wed 04:22:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But ICE can get that data.
Wed 04:22:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It all goes to private companies.
Wed 04:22:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It may be the State that put it there, but it goes into a company's database.
Wed 04:22:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's not even just ICE.
Wed 04:22:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Texas has brought criminal charges for going to get an abortion in Illinois.
Wed 04:23:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And it was some Texas cop that searched our license plate readers.
Wed 04:23:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The State is very slowly responding to certain threats that ICE poses to the security of the State, within the bounds of what the State can legislate.
Wed 04:24:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's a bill moving through the legislature to ban current or former ICE agents from being police officers in Illinois.
Wed 04:24:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The idea is they just get a job with the local police and share the data ICE isn't supposed to have.
Wed 04:24:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or we'd get some violent nutcase that got into ICE with a felony record they didn't investigate and an AI resume.
Wed 04:24:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And those dangers are very real, but ICE is a threat no matter what we do.
Wed 04:25:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ We have to do what we can.
Wed 04:25:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But they're always going to be a roving band of, I would say, marauders and barbarians.

Wed 04:26:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Illinois license plate readers.
Wed 04:27:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They put them there so the Illinois police can keep tabs on people with warrants and stuff.
Wed 04:27:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] texas is quite crazy
Wed 04:27:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But they're being abused to persecute immigrants and people who need to get an abortion.
Wed 04:27:15 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you can strangle women
Wed 04:27:21 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] then pay your way out of it

Wed 04:29:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But if you share one image on GMail, a report will land on someone's desk.
Wed 04:29:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They'll come out arrest you, fuck you up good. You go to jail, you end up on the kiddie diddler list.
Wed 04:29:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I mean, this only happens to poor people.
