I recall Tech Rights also covered freenode 'owner' side, which I don't know anyone would deny was takeover, but they weren't entirely bad, and IRCops/libera side had been criticised more in years/decades since their original 1990s channel [07:54] IsambardPrince Blu Ray DRM is pretty pointless. [07:54] IsambardPrince They've all been ripped and put on pirate sites. [07:55] IsambardPrince They'll never realease a disc that does not get cracked, ripped, and pirated, but they also can't stream anything that won't get pirated. [07:57] IsambardPrince The disc formats are all quite acceptable as far as audio and video quality. DVD probably better than the others. A new DVD player is only $27, is totally standards compliant (the launch players like my RCA 5220P were not), and have all the best movies, which honestly happened years ago anyway. [07:57] IsambardPrince Years go by now with nothing worth watching. [07:57] IsambardPrince In the 1980s it was arguing over which of the four good movies you'd see on that trip. ● May 02 [08:00] IsambardPrince The video store in Fort Wayne did sell some LaserDiscs in the 90s, but it was overwhelmingly VHS. [08:00] darwin i see [08:00] IsambardPrince I asked my dad why we didn't own a LD player and he said the discs were huge, expensive, fragile. [08:00] darwin by early 1990s, most cartoons had poor-quality art, which always got worse since [08:01] IsambardPrince The only studios still doing hand-drawn animation are all in Japan. [08:01] IsambardPrince The problem with the entertainment industry in America is the same problem every other industry has. [08:01] IsambardPrince It's a naked cash grab. [08:02] IsambardPrince These do not lend themselves to creativity. Sure, the Japanese entertainment industry wants to make money, and they do make money, but that's not the main point. [08:03] IsambardPrince The problem in the US is addressed by the Communist Manifesto of all things. [08:03] IsambardPrince Capitalism wants to reduce everything to finance, profit. [08:03] IsambardPrince If it sees no way to do this, it tends to move on and not do that thing if it will not lead straight to the profit. [08:04] IsambardPrince Taking chances is necessary in the arts, and sometimes those projects can go horribly wrong. [08:04] IsambardPrince Overbudget, or turns out there was a niche market, and they're not trying to do that here. [08:05] IsambardPrince I'm not sure if the Pet Shop Boys song Love is a Bourgeois Construct was trolling of completely misunderstood Marx. My guess is trolling or making fun of people with only a superficial understanding. [08:06] IsambardPrince Marx actually wrote about love in the Communist Manifesto as part of his indictment of Capitalism. [08:06] IsambardPrince In the US, marriage is not promoted as something about love, but rather about finances, about money. [08:06] IsambardPrince You get married, a lot of your money problems ease, and that's by design. [08:07] IsambardPrince The tax code rewards it, everything in finance rewards it, because as my dad put it "Marriage is about creating an environment where people can raise children." of course, the government wants this so there are more workers, and consumers. [08:07] IsambardPrince So it considers the tax breaks as a down payment on more GDP later. [08:08] IsambardPrince Marx wrote that in Capitalism, a man sees his wife as part of the means of production. [08:09] IsambardPrince So, through that lens, feminism could be seen as women seizing the means of production, and can partially explain why conservatives don't like it. [08:10] IsambardPrince My mother's problem is that she got snookered by conservatism and found men who saw her as the means of production. [08:13] IsambardPrince She had no idea what she was doing to herself. Instead of finding men who respected her as a person, she found men who objectify women and worse, a couple that outright live off them if they can.

[23:26] IsambardPrince It seems like some top Republicans are reconsidering supporting his nomination, which means his status as a placeholder would expire on the 20th. [23:27] MinceR "republicans" [23:28] IsambardPrince https://dph.illinois.gov/topics-services/diseases-and-conditions/measles/case-counts.html [23:28] TR Bot Measles Case Counts [23:28] IsambardPrince Illinois had its biggest Measles outbreak in years last year. At first, the news admitted it was illegal Venezuelans in taxpayer-funded shelters in Chicago. [23:28] IsambardPrince Then they stopped saying that and it was like "Where'd it come from? Who knows?" [23:29] IsambardPrince It was funny because like nobody was getting it outside of the shelters. [23:29] IsambardPrince I think one case out of 67 known cases happened outside those shelters. [23:29] IsambardPrince That's what happens when you let criminals and moochers from failed countries storm your country and then shelter them somewhere. [23:30] IsambardPrince If Trump wants a war with someone, it should be Venezuela. [23:30] IsambardPrince We could topple Maduro in a few days and install the opposition and force them to agree to take back their citizens. [23:31] IsambardPrince It's not like many people would be angry about the current regime being killed off. [23:31] IsambardPrince I haven't talked to a single Venezuelan who likes how things have unfolded since 1998. [23:31] IsambardPrince They have to take 10 debit cards with them to buy groceries because the spending limit per card is so low. [23:31] IsambardPrince They have black markets to get US dollars, and Euros. [23:32] IsambardPrince Their infrastructure has collapsed. [23:32] IsambardPrince Even if all the sanctions on their oil company disappeared today, they could only pump about 40% as much oil as they could 20 years ago because nothing has been maintained. [23:33] IsambardPrince Measles outbreaks do happen every several years, but they tend to be concentrated heavily in a cluster of people who aren't vaccinated. [23:33] IsambardPrince Some of those Muslim schools only have an 8% vaccination rate for Measles. [23:34] IsambardPrince The public schools are all at like 97-99.8%. [23:34] IsambardPrince It's amusingly, a disease that affects (among Americans anyway), primarily rich people and religious people. [23:34] IsambardPrince Rich people because they don't send their kids to public schools. [23:35] IsambardPrince They send them to private schools that don't require vaccinations for anything. [23:35] IsambardPrince So when you get a big Measles outbreak it hits the Montessori schools, the Islamic and Catholic ones, those people. [23:35] IsambardPrince Measle's isn't a big thing in public schools. [23:36] IsambardPrince Working class parents get told their child needs the MMR, they go get the MMR. [23:36] IsambardPrince Being stupid is a luxury and luxuries are typically reserved for rich people.
