[01:27]	nobody	IsambardPrince: those Tesla EVs weren't manufactured for mass production and practical use
[01:27]	nobody	the value of those was the acquisition of "carbon certificates", because EVs are considered "carbon neutral" and "environmentally friendly"
[01:27]	nobody	even when their electricity was mostly produced from burning coal
[01:28]	nobody	it's related to "climate agreements", car manufacturers must not surpass a carbon budget for their entire fleet of vehicles
[01:28]	nobody	by manufacturing EVs this supposedly lowers carbon emissions, hence carbon certificates were granted
[01:29]	nobody	which is what boosted "shareholder value" of Tesla
[01:30]	nobody	it's irelevent if any of those vehicles are recalled, it's irelevant if those vehicles could be sold at a price to compensate for manufacturing costs
[01:30]	nobody	tesla EVs are produced for the "carbon certificates", which then can be traded globally with those car makers who don't produce EVs
[01:32]	nobody	and this is how Tesla generated earnings, from carbon certificates sales; their earnings from car sales were marginal, if any existed at all
[01:35]	nobody	i don't know however, if Tesla got into trouble, if and how this affected the carbon certificate trade and cashflow generated
[01:36]	nobody	Trump insisted US remained exempt from "climate agreements", however then this would bust the carbon certificate surplus of Tesla
[01:37]	nobody	if and how this had benefit anyone else, is another mystery, because according to climate agreements US made cars consume far too much gasoline
[01:37]	nobody	and emit far too much carbon-dioxide
[01:38]	nobody	which would be irelevant, if Trump chose to ignore "climate agreements", yet if they chose to ignore those, then noone else was obligated to acquire carbon certificates from Tesla
[01:39]	nobody	could be a challenging situation for US car makers: either Trump complies with climate agreements and then Tesla can continue to generate cash flow from carbon certificates
[01:39]	nobody	yet then too US car makers must comply with "carbon budget" regulations, which they didn't
[01:40]	nobody	if Trump chose to withdraw from climate agreements then generous carbon certificate cashflow into tesla shareholder value might poof into void
[01:41]	nobody	it's a loose-loose scenario for US car makers, hence Trump insists on tariffs i suspect, which wouldn't be helpful anyway
[01:43]	nobody	Elon's salute madness merely distracts from the _real_ issues Tesla and US car makers might have had

[02:09]	IsambardPrince	"In 1919, Democratic Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt requested an investigation into "vice and depravity" in the sea services after a sting operation in which undercover operatives attempt to seduce sailors suspected of being homosexual had already begun at the Naval base in Newport, Rhode Island. At least 17 sailors were jailed and court-martialed before public outcry prompted a Republican-led Senate committee 
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	to condemn the methods of the operation. Roosevelt denied he had any knowledge that entrapment had been used or that he would have approved of it.[391]"
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	An investigation into what the seamen were doing involving semen, I guess.

[02:17]	IsambardPrince	Giuffre alluded to a crash with a school bus in her post.  
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	"I think it [sic] important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can," she wrote.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	It is not immediately clear where the accident happened. The BBC reported in 2022 that Giuffre lived in Australia with her husband and three children.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	Giuffre has alleged Epstein sexually trafficked her to Britain's Prince Andrew and others. Prince Andrew has denied those claims.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019. A month after his arrest, he was found dead in his cell at a Manhattan prison. His death was ruled a suicide. "

[03:23]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I wonder how much AmEx paid Google to do this.
[03:24]	IsambardPrince	When you add a Gold or Platinum card to your Google Wallet, it shines.
[03:24]	MinceR	lol
[03:25]	MinceR	possibly none, given that this is the sort of thing that gets average lusers tied to a particular platform
[03:25]	IsambardPrince	I do like the card, but I feel like I will be eating out a lot more to use the coupon book.
[03:25]	IsambardPrince	I love eating out though, so meh.
[03:26]	IsambardPrince	I plan to order sushi tomorrow.
[03:27]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Apple specified that the physical Apple Card would be made out of titanium and laser etched. It would have no annual fee. It would prompt users to minimize their interest payments to the bank. And the bank would have to approve almost anyone with a pulse. There were reports of people with a 580 FICO score who had just re-emerged from bankruptcy that got approved for that card.
[03:27]	IsambardPrince	Then they charged up Apple shit on it, and then the bank wonders why it lost money.
[03:27]	IsambardPrince	That bank was Goldman Sachs.
[03:28]	MinceR	good old Goldman Sucks
[03:29]	IsambardPrince	Not to be deterred, when Goldman got tired of being the welfare office for the poorer Apple cultists, who don't pay their bills, Apple sent out the bids again, and Chase and Synchrony swear they can make this work because they have more experience "dealing" with people who don't pay their bills.

[03:37]	MinceR	if those don't work, they can try ivermectin and then intravenous bleach
[03:37]	MinceR	the latter was invented by the king, so you know it's good.

[03:45]	TR Bot	 Supreme Court leans toward Catholic groups over claim for religious exemption
[03:45]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The Catholics say they have a religious right to refuse to pay unemployment taxes.
[03:46]	IsambardPrince	That way when they make people like my mother unemployed in the future, they won't be eligible for unemployment, or maybe they will and everyone else in society will have to cover it.
[03:46]	MinceR	unfortunately for them, nazi america is not a party to the European Convention on Human Religions
[03:46]	MinceR	(and even if it was, they wouldn't enforce such a ruling)
[03:47]	MinceR	but i guess the Court With Sour Cream and Tomatoes will fill in for the European Court of Human Religions this time...
[03:52]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Thanks for adding the "and tomatoes" part from where I corrected you. You know, it's almost as expensive to add one as it is to add both, so for the extra 10 cents you might as well have both.
[03:52]	IsambardPrince	Live a little.
[03:53]	MinceR	:>
[03:53]	MinceR	live mas
[03:54]	IsambardPrince	indeed
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I was able to chargeback that LinkedIn subscription.
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	Some asshat stole Mandy's credit card and charged a LinkedIn Gold subscription on the 12th.
[03:55]	MinceR	what makes people pay for linkedin?
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	Then no other use of the card.
[03:55]	MinceR	ah.
[03:56]	IsambardPrince	I reported most of our cards we don't use much as "lost or stolen" after fixing that.
[03:56]	IsambardPrince	In case they know any of the other numbers on accounts I don't keep a close eye on.
[03:57]	IsambardPrince	It's really less of a hassle to scramble the accounts and get a new card than it is to find out they knew several more.

[04:27]	TR Bot	 More Than 15% of All Student Loan Debt is Past Due. The Fed Says Borrowers Could See Their Credit Scores Drop More Than 170 Points. : Economics
[04:27]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, That means that the banks, eager to lend, will start looking at people without student loans much more favorably.
[04:27]	IsambardPrince	Best looking horse at the glue factory.
[04:27]	IsambardPrince	:)
[04:27]	MinceR	:>
[04:29]	IsambardPrince	"People who have student loans which are late or are at risk of a default, but otherwise good credit, stand to see the biggest drop. The Department of Education predicts borrowers with otherwise good credit could see a 170 point drop in their credit scores once reporting goes back into effect at the beginning of July. Even for borrowers with a credit score under 620, typically considered high risk, a new delinquency would d
[04:29]	IsambardPrince	rop their scores by about 87 points on average. An extra 87 point drop on top of an already low credit score can make it much more difficult to financially recover in a reasonable amount of time."
[04:29]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, My mom's is about 620.
[04:29]	IsambardPrince	AmEx conditionally approved her for a credit card, but then wanted to see her bank accounts.
[04:29]	IsambardPrince	When they looked, they found 72 cents in there and said no.
[04:30]	MinceR	https://media1.tenor.com/images/cad6c9ed90daf015b0b29717e8ce24f5/tenor.gif
[04:32]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, AmEx's agreements all say that regardless of the due date or minimum payment, they reserve the right to call bullshit on you and demand payment in full at any time.
[04:32]	IsambardPrince	So whatever you charge, you'd better be able to pay for right now if they ask for it.
[04:33]	IsambardPrince	Their personal loan agreements say they can call the loan if they find out anything on the loan application wasn't true.
[04:33]	IsambardPrince	Like if you say you took the loan to go on vacation and they find out you bought a car.
[04:34]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I was considering buying a car with a personal loan, or at least how I would do that.
[04:34]	IsambardPrince	Discover says it's not a car loan, but nowhere does it say you can't put down Major Purchase and then buy a car.
[04:34]	IsambardPrince	Which is a major purchase.
[04:36]	MinceR	General Purchase

[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	H1B Visa employees safe but American employees fired
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	My IBMC partner told me that she couldnt select a H1B visa person as part of the RA. She wouldnt get credit against her headcount exit target because they arent US employees. She offered to send them back to India instead but was denied. The resource action funding could only be applied to US employees. Why is it legal for IBM to do this ?
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	"
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	"
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	I would not believe it. H1B are employed in the US as local employees. The only difference is that after an H1B is lay-off, the employee must leave within 30 days the US. I am a former H1B employee who was lay-off years ago.
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	After the lay-off one does not receive the unemployment benefits as one needs to leave the country. One does not get a "relocation support". Just the pink slip. Kids need to leave school. The whole family needs to leave unless one finds a new job with H1B visa within 30 days.
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	She cannot "send back to India". She might offer one airplane ticket to the employee. No relocation.
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	Please verify with your IBMC partner what she could not too. I would be happy to be wrong.
[05:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	P.S. I am a 'fellow' US citizen.

[19:45]	nobody	https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/russia-completes-development-of-30-year-old-outdated-lithography-tool
[19:45]	TR Bot	 Russia completes development of 30-year-old outdated lithography tool | Tom's Hardware
[19:46]	nobody	Russia managed to establish semiconductor manufacturing partly independent from global supply chains
[19:46]	nobody	that's far more relevant than whatever is considered outdated
[19:47]	nobody	MinceR: western arrogance is disgusting
[19:47]	MinceR	eastern arrogance is lovely?
[19:49]	nobody	obviously not; nonetheless Russia did manage to establish semiconductor manufacturing
[19:51]	MinceR	i'm so happy for them and you
[19:51]	MinceR	what process do they have?
[19:51]	nobody	350nm
[19:51]	MinceR	lol
[19:51]	nobody	and i haven't got access to it
[19:51]	MinceR	i've heard of that one
[19:52]	nobody	while ago j-core.org project argued they required a few dozen thousand cash to acquire "outdated" semicondoctuor manufacturing for their turtle board
[19:52]	nobody	to deploy their fully free and opensource SoC
[19:52]	MinceR	"how can you tell the orcs have installed a listening device in your home? there's an extra cabinet in the room."
[19:53]	MinceR	or something like that
[19:53]	nobody	well, that's no secret, whoever controlled semiconductor design and manufacturing
[19:54]	nobody	so the russians could manufacture their own computers, which aren't tapped; it's not known yet how many chips they'll produce
[19:55]	nobody	anyway, just reading news
[19:55]	MinceR	RT?
[19:55]	nobody	no, german newspapers
[19:56]	nobody	same with those, their comments dripping with arrogance, 350nm manufacturing was outdated
[19:57]	nobody	meanwhile the F-35 we've ordered can be remote-controlled by Trumpovitsch
[19:57]	MinceR	well, good thing "europe is ours even if we can't even drive to kyiv in 4 days" is not arrogant at all
[19:57]	MinceR	which german newspapers? fasistische allgemeine zeitung?
[19:57]	MinceR	s/sis/schis/
[19:58]	nobody	funnily, recently i began reading german yellow press, which headlined the russian seminconductors
[19:58]	MinceR	yes, "recently"
[19:58]	MinceR	also, "recently", pangaea broke up
[19:59]	nobody	i was never reading bild.de online in my life, but got accustomed to it a little since two weeks ago
● Apr 01
[20:02]	nobody	"despite sanctions, Putins billionaires drowning in cash unseen"
[20:02]	MinceR	"the sanctions do nothing", yet ruscists whine about them in media every week
[20:02]	MinceR	why?
[20:03]	nobody	those sanctions are harmful to german economy
[20:05]	MinceR	you can't wait another 4 years until afd takes over and drives the german economy into the ground?
[20:05]	nobody	do you remember, i had been talking about j-core.org, who tried to salvage "outdated" semiconductor manufacturing several years ago?
[20:06]	nobody	MinceR: AfD isn't needed to wreck economy
[20:07]	nobody	i've enjoyed a few conversations just today again, job placement requests, corrupt HR departments
[20:07]	MinceR	no, but it will help
[20:07]	nobody	i've been told, no joke, since i added a reference to mailing list lists.nongnu.org with some announcement of mine
[20:08]	nobody	Bavarian state department for information security "we do not open hyperlinks"
[20:08]	nobody	my repos hosted at codeberg.org, that's "too dangerous"
[20:08]	nobody	that's the level of competence i was confronted with
[20:09]	nobody	i merely tried to show them a few projects of mine
[20:10]	nobody	"we do not process emails" due to "data privacy" laws... my mails are signed
[20:12]	nobody	anyway, the arrogance is disgusting
[20:12]	MinceR	is usian arrogance pleasant yet?
[20:12]	nobody	MinceR: good question
[20:12]	nobody	i've been thinking about it
[20:12]	MinceR	rotfl
[20:13]	nobody	you know, proprietary malware and anti-competitive business habits from US&A are awful
[20:13]	nobody	but at the same time, USA got a strongest movement of free software advocates and opposition to it
[20:15]	nobody	whenever i sent job placement requests in germany, this ignites psychosis
[20:15]	MinceR	i'm not seeing that movement
[20:15]	MinceR	where is it?
[20:15]	nobody	FSF, GNU, BSD etc.
[20:16]	MinceR	the FSF, which promotes systemd, i.e. nonfree software
[20:17]	MinceR	the GNU, which is ceding territory to gnome and systemd
[20:17]	nobody	did FSF advocate systemd? and systemd isn't a gnu project? or is it?
[20:17]	MinceR	"free"BSD which was taken over and compromised by MICROS~1 as a test before they did the same to Linux
[20:17]	MinceR	the FSF promotes Linux distros that they call "free", most of them have systemd by default
[20:17]	MinceR	RMS advertises Trisquel, which is a systemd/Linux distro
[20:18]	nobody	https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/tinycc-devel/2025-03/msg00029.html
[20:18]	TR Bot	 [Tinycc-devel] status of compiling a complete system with just tinycc -
[20:18]	MinceR	and this has been going on for years
[20:18]	MinceR	most people don't care
[20:18]	MinceR	there's no free software movement anymore
[20:18]	nobody	there's a reason i was doing it: "Alltogether everything necessary got forked already: libc, kernel, toolchain support, portage tree"
[20:18]	MinceR	there are just a bunch of hipsters who serve MICROS~1 and Indian Bowel Movement in a different way
[20:19]	MinceR	afaict those who develop/maintain actual free software don't tend to talk about free software
[20:19]	MinceR	Linux is also done, stick a fork in it
[20:20]	MinceR	dm_crypt has been broken for as long as i've attempted to use it, but now Linux manages CPU time and RAM about as poorly as Backdoors
[20:21]	nobody	MinceR: which system do you prefer nowadays?
[20:21]	MinceR	i'm learning and switching to OpenBSD, but it isn't easy for me
[20:22]	MinceR	this is a desperate time
[20:22]	MinceR	and then i haven't even mentioned that the hardware is also more shit that it has ever been
[20:22]	nobody	and, *BSD are trapped inside llvm/clang
[20:22]	MinceR	you can't build them with gcc anymore?
[20:22]	MinceR	not that that would be a great relief or anything
[20:23]	nobody	i've not tried, but gcc is still inside their tree, and needed for a few architectures
[20:24]	nobody	i'm still booting some debian variant live.iso (antix), but do not install nor maintain anything for this
[20:25]	nobody	i focus all my efforts on the mentioned fork
[20:26]	nobody	ideally i could get a little man power behind this project
[20:26]	nobody	but i too do fear, it's a potential dead-end
[20:26]	nobody	at least it's a reasonable development basis, for bootstrapping, and a verified/trusted buildhost
[20:27]	nobody	and it's annoying, not at least ethernet got a standard interface, and instead a special kernel module is needed for each mainboard
[20:27]	nobody	and i am not willing to backport a dozen drivers to linux-2.4
[20:28]	nobody	i'll try some cheapo usb-ethernet that is commonly available, backport a driver for this one only
[20:29]	nobody	usb is working, vesa framebuffer works, and on some testing thinkpad t40 audio works, networking works
[20:29]	nobody	it's in relatively good shape, in comparison to minix or hurd, with regards to hardware support
[20:30]	nobody	but most important, i got alternative toolchain support fully confirmed, against tinycc
[20:30]	nobody	it's a breakthrough, since this wasn't possible with free software for two decades, to compile a complete distribution without gcc
[20:31]	nobody	and since it's confirmed for x86/tinycc, there too is a chance for other architectures
[20:32]	nobody	i mean, it's the most reasonable option still, to confirm it with x86, and all else seeing to later
[20:34]	nobody	i must admit, even when the russians offered a free/open i486 manufactured in 350nm, i wouldn't blindly trust them
[20:35]	nobody	but i would prefer a free/open i486 with a tad more RAM anyday, over any of the UEFI junk

[23:07]	IsambardPrince	The people upstairs are playing thump thump nigga nigga nigga again.
[23:07]	IsambardPrince	They must really like that song.
[23:07]	IsambardPrince	Even more than MinceR 's neighbors like drilling into the concrete shitbox.
[23:08]	MinceR	my neighbors like multiple noisy activities
[23:08]	MinceR	sometimes it's drilling, sometimes it's angle grinding the concrete
[23:08]	MinceR	sometimes it's hammering
[23:08]	MinceR	sometimes it's making the vacuum cleaner scream while scraping the bare concrete
[23:08]	IsambardPrince	Do they like thump thump nigga nigga nigga?
[23:08]	MinceR	sometimes it sounds like they're bowling or playing petanque on the bare concrete
[23:08]	MinceR	they don't seem to like thump thump nigga nigga nigga
[23:09]	MinceR	they do like giggling loudly in the middle of the night, though
[23:09]	MinceR	oh, also handling the door lock really roughly and slamming the door a couple of times
[23:09]	MinceR	and running in circles on the bare concrete
[23:10]	MinceR	slamming the door is, naturally, another nighttime activity
[23:10]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, On Reddit, I posted: "Trump is a convicted felon beyond the reach of the law because he's the president. Roman Polanski is a convicted felon beyond the reach of the law because nobody bothered to seize his passport.
[23:10]	IsambardPrince	Ironically, we'd be better off if Roman Polanski was the president and Donald Trump had to stay in France."
[23:10]	MinceR	france would be worse off
[23:10]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, but they're France so oh well.
[23:10]	MinceR	regardless, they're probably put the nazis in power next time
[23:11]	MinceR	"look how other countries fail after electing nazis to run the government. let's do that so our country can be destroyed too!"
[23:12]	MinceR	my neighbors also like smoking marijuana indoors, near the ventilation system for the bathroom and toilet, so that everyone in the alleged building can have some of the smoke
[23:13]	MinceR	if the ventilation system ran constantly, the smoke wouldn't leak into the other alleged apartments
[23:13]	MinceR	so, naturally, it only runs some of the time.
