During his first trip abroad as Secretary of State, which began with a stop in Panama, Marco Rubio said he agreed that US vessels be allowed to traverse the canal at no charge." [00:00] IsambardPrince That demand is somewhat reasonable. [00:00] IsambardPrince The US should at least have a discount to what others pay. [00:00] IsambardPrince The US built the stupid thing. [00:01] IsambardPrince MinceR, Consumers will react to a consumption tax by increasing savings and avoiding paying for anything they do not strictly need. [00:02] IsambardPrince By the time this is over, corporations will be screaming and they'll do anything they have to in order to not deal with another Republican administration. [00:02] IsambardPrince Buying him off by "donating" to the inaugural didn't work. [00:02] IsambardPrince Paying him off with the "Trump Library" didn't work. [00:02] IsambardPrince Now they're fucked anyway and may as well have given him nothing. [00:24] IsambardPrince Department of Government Efficiency [00:24] IsambardPrince @DOGE [00:24] IsambardPrince In 2020-2021, [00:24] IsambardPrince @SBAgov [00:24] IsambardPrince issued 3,095 loans, including PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) and EIDL (Economic Injury Disaster Loan), for $333M to borrowers over 115 years old who were still marked as alive in the Social Security database. [00:24] IsambardPrince In one case, a 157 years old individual received $36k in loans. [00:24] IsambardPrince ---- [00:24] IsambardPrince MinceR, The Epoch in Cobol was like 1867 or something I think. [00:24] IsambardPrince Which is why there are people the software marks as 157 years old that are still alive. [00:25] IsambardPrince In some cases people from the 1920s are still alive and there is an issue between the epoch of the software's programming language, and the operating system's file system and (usually) C standard libraries. [00:26] IsambardPrince So Elon Musk apparently does not know how different software has different epochs. [00:26] IsambardPrince And how this sometimes causes weird things to happen. [00:27] IsambardPrince He also claimed that Social Security numbers are not "de-duplicated", whatever the hell that means. Years after you die, your SSN does become public record, but you're marked dead in the SSA Death Master File, so even though I could ask SSA under FOIA what my grandfather's SSN was, if I tried to use it to get a loan or something they'd know immediately from the credit bureau saying you have a dead person asking for a loan. [00:27] IsambardPrince The SSA has never reused a SSN, except in several cases by accident, where they voided it and issued a new SSN to both people. [00:28] IsambardPrince But those accidents do not happen anymore. The last one happened in the 1970s.

[01:04] IsambardPrince They took the wife to the side and said "We know he doesn't live here. Just tell us that and we can protect you." [01:04] IsambardPrince I said, "It's classic for them to tell the US Citizen spouse that if they drop the case they won't be in trouble. They're trying to bully them into admitting wrongdoing to a law enforcement officer. [01:04] IsambardPrince You absolutely will be in trouble if you tell them you were committing a crime and whatever you tell them is evidence that will appear in court. [01:04] IsambardPrince Whenever cops say you're not in trouble we just have some questions you need to answer it means Red Alert. Raise the shields and arm the photon torpedoes because they're lying to you. [01:04] IsambardPrince Your wife getting upset and telling them what the hell are you talking about, that's my husband was the right answer."

[01:18] IsambardPrince Then they won't tell people who filed with the old form what happens now. [01:19] IsambardPrince I'm pretty sure they deny any that say "non-binary". [01:19] IsambardPrince Or issue a RFE or NOID to demand evidence of your legal sex. [01:20] IsambardPrince RFE is Request for Evidence. You have like a month to upload or mail the evidence they requested. [01:21] IsambardPrince But they can skip to an NOID which is the Notice of Intent to Deny. IF you don't respond they will deny it and you may not have legal status. [01:35] IsambardPrince MinceR, I was making fun of my brother to my mom. [01:35] IsambardPrince Clogging the toilet and flooding the house. [01:35] IsambardPrince She has a cat that's 20 years old. [01:36] IsambardPrince I said "Did you see Molly swimming by? Most animals can swim if they have to, but that's a lot to put a 100 year old person through." [01:39] IsambardPrince "China responded last month with its own 15% tariffs on American coal and liquefied natural gas and 10% tariffs on crude oil, farm equipment and certain other vehicles. And now it has announced additional tariffs of 10-15% on a variety of U.S. agricultural imports, including chicken, pork, soy and beef, starting next week." [01:39] IsambardPrince Well, we can sell the coal to other markets, like Europe or Japan. [01:39] IsambardPrince Same with LNG. [01:39] IsambardPrince China is just hurting themselves with reprisals like this. Economies run on energy. Especially manufacturing economies. [01:48] IsambardPrince MinceR, Someone said they opened a CD at a good rate at a local bank for five years, then didn't read the small print. [01:49] IsambardPrince Which says that the bank is free to adjust the rate every 6 months, but there's an early withdrawal penalty equal to a year of interest if you take it out before maturity. [01:49] IsambardPrince So he didn't lock in any rate, and now they have his money. ● Mar 05 [02:03] *techrights-news (~techrights-news@jcfiaarnjjqje.irc) has joined #techrights [02:03] TR News

[05:56] IsambardPrince The market has changed dramatically from where it was in the earlier part of the decade. Gaming market growth has slowed, while higher interest rates and a more challenging fundraising environment make cash harder to come by. As a result, we have to change the way we think about Rec Rooms financial strategy. [05:56] IsambardPrince In good times, startups look to raise funding every 18 to 24 months and thats what we did in the early years. In challenging times, the advice was generally to budget for 3+ years of runway. When we last raised money, we budgeted for 5+ years because the economic outlook seemed uncertain for late stage private companies. It remains uncertain three years later. Our current assumption is that we need to become self-sustainin [05:56] IsambardPrince g using our current cash and not plan on any future fundraises. We need to control our own destiny by bringing in more money than we spend. [05:56] IsambardPrince Layoffs are a last resort, and we took as many preventative actions as we could before reducing our team size. Rather than hire externally, we re-trained individuals into new disciplines. We cut UA spending. We reduced third party spending by taking some key systems in-house. We made large reductions to our infrastructure spending which made it much more efficient to run the Rec Room service. We also launched Rec Room onto [05:57] IsambardPrince Nintendo Switch, the game console with the widest install base in existence. [05:57] IsambardPrince These changes all improved our financial position, but as our largest spend each month goes to people and payroll, they werent enough on their own." [05:57] IsambardPrince ---- [05:57] IsambardPrince There you have it, schestowitz[TR2] [05:57] IsambardPrince The money is drying up. [05:57] schestowitz[TR2] i got parts 3 and 4 ready [05:57] IsambardPrince There's no more fundraising. [05:58] schestowitz[TR2] for the series on social control media [05:58] IsambardPrince Did you mention the part about apps like Grindr selling your data to Facebook? [05:59] schestowitz[TR2] no [05:59] schestowitz[TR2] tell me [05:59] IsambardPrince Then you get ads going "Did you take Truvada and have a broken bone?" [05:59] IsambardPrince They find out who is gay and who might have HIV. [05:59] IsambardPrince Then they sell it to advertisers. [05:59] IsambardPrince Truvada can also be taken to prevent HIV. ● Mar 05 [06:00] IsambardPrince But Gilead left it on the market for years knowing it was hurting gay people very badly in some cases, to run out the patent before improving its safety profile with Descovy and with HIV medicines that use the new formulation of tenofovir. [06:01] IsambardPrince Now they're trying to get a settlement from the drug companies, so they pay Facebook to market ads regarding bone breaks and kidney damage to people. [06:01] IsambardPrince How do they know who took this medicine? [06:01] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights [06:01] IsambardPrince Grindr tells them if you have HIV or use PrEP. [06:02] IsambardPrince Then they market the ads targeting the people who may have been hurt by the drug company. [06:02] IsambardPrince You also get "gay cruise" ads on Facebook if they bought your info from Grindr and they know you're gay. [06:03] IsambardPrince It's another way to market to you because Facebook has spyware libraries in a gay hookup app. So they could potentially, maybe, even buy lists of who you've been having sex with. [06:03] IsambardPrince Even the government buys data like this. [06:03] IsambardPrince That way they can get it without any constitutional "issues". You know, like a search or a warrant. [06:04] IsambardPrince Everything you do in a mobile phone probably ends up being sold to Facebook, or bundles spyware libraries from Facebook. [06:04] IsambardPrince But they're hardly the only ones. [06:04] IsambardPrince There's dozens, maybe even hundreds. [06:04] IsambardPrince Mobile apps are bad because they know all about you, right down to who you're having sex with. [06:04] IsambardPrince What you buy at the grocery store. [06:05] IsambardPrince When you go to fast food restaurants and what you buy there. [06:05] IsambardPrince They know where you are all the time as long as the phone is on. [06:06] IsambardPrince CNN recently reported (today) that there's a company that monitors people as they walk around stores with smartphones, to monitor customer "traffic". [06:06] IsambardPrince They said that CostCo foot traffic fell 4.8% in the week of February 17th, Walmart was down like 5.6% I think, Target was down way more thant that. [06:06] IsambardPrince But they know because they're always spying on you. [06:07] IsambardPrince Facebook isn't just a website, or an app. [06:07] IsambardPrince They develop software to put into unrelated apps to mine your information straight out of that app. [06:08] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], I have a Free Software program called TrackerControl for my phone, from F-Droid. [06:08] IsambardPrince I can look into any app on my phone and tell you who put spyware there and what domains the app tries to contact and why. [06:09] IsambardPrince Many Android apps from the Play store have between 5 and 20 pieces of spyware in them. [06:10] IsambardPrince Grindr had 17 pieces of third party adware and spyware. [06:10] IsambardPrince Including 5 from Facebook. [06:12] IsambardPrince TextNow, which is a burner phone number VOIP app has 19 pieces of adware and spyware, including 4 from Facebook. [06:13] IsambardPrince I think people might be shocked that even if they don't use Facebook, their apps on the phone tell them all about you anyway.

The advertisers, the insurance companies, the police. [06:18] IsambardPrince The US has seen an explosion in all kinds of loathsome diseases since apps like Grindr hit the scene. [06:18] IsambardPrince Several times the former norm. [06:18] IsambardPrince They even have new diseases now that were never there before. They did not exist until apps like this made them easier to get and spread. [06:19] IsambardPrince And so probably the worst one, HIV, Mark Zuckerberg is in your Grindr going "Please say it louder and into the microphone." [06:20] IsambardPrince Half the Grindr profile is what loathsome diseases you either have, have been checked for (and when), or been vaccinated for. [06:21] IsambardPrince But they're selling this. [06:22] IsambardPrince Most people would feel violated if Mark Zuckerberg was in the corner of their bedroom with a camcorder while they were going at it. [06:22] IsambardPrince So why are they not disturbed about Facebook's spyware libraries in Grindr? [06:23] TR News " ...

[07:09] IsambardPrince Most of them are not based in the United States. [07:10] IsambardPrince They have varying degrees of compliance with United States law. [07:11] IsambardPrince And the people who run them are often stealing from you and try to escape from US law enforcement when they try to do something about them. They got Sam Bankman-Fried back because he was in an extradition country. What about the rest? [07:11] IsambardPrince I call Uphold "Hold Up" for a couple reasons. [07:12] IsambardPrince Brave Software partnered with Uphold to be their official crypto exchange. But Uphold flouts US tax law. They issue form 1099-B as a 1099 composite, however they miss the deadlines. [07:12] IsambardPrince Therefore you may end up having to request a tax filing extension and pray Uphold eventually gets a form that was due to you by 60 days before tax day. [07:12] IsambardPrince Sometimes they're not out until a few days before the deadline. [07:13] IsambardPrince They also do a "cooldown period" and what that is, basically, is this thing where you can't have your money back sometimes for over 100 days. They never say why, or if they do they say they want to make sure fraud isn't happening. [07:14] IsambardPrince Disturbingly, many people in Reddit end up with their account frozen entirely and can't get their money, or their money just disappears. [07:14] IsambardPrince And it can be very hard to contact anyone about it, and I have never seen anyone tell me they got this problem resolved. [07:15] IsambardPrince As we've seen with Celsius and FTX, sometimes there's just no money at all. The guy is buying himself ferraris and living like a rock star and running a Ponzi scheme.

[23:21] IsambardPrince We need cheaper CPUs, preferably ones that implement a sane instruction set with no patent grifters. [23:21] IsambardPrince Those don't have to be Chinese. Intel is a company that adds patent costs and that's pretty much just waste. [23:22] IsambardPrince They deliberately make CPU features that are fucking broken or otherwise horrible to get more patents. [23:22] IsambardPrince Then they hack around what they can in software later, after they falsify their benchmarks. [23:23] MinceR you don't have fabs [23:24] IsambardPrince Okay, so maybe they should use their own money to build some here. [23:24] IsambardPrince Instead of stealing mine. [23:24] MinceR in addition, agent krasnov is emboldening jinping the eleventh to attack taiwan, and once communist china does that, taiwan will be a smoking ruin and no one will have any fabs [23:25] IsambardPrince China was furious when the Trump Administration gave Taiwan the $873 million of weapons package the other day. [23:25] IsambardPrince Of course they're furious with us, they're the only country in the world that has ever used their Embassy in the US to try to openly threaten Congress. [23:25] MinceR communist china is also furious about the 10% tariff [23:26] IsambardPrince Fuck em [23:26] MinceR meanwhile, nazi america's alleged allies, canada, the EU and mexico get 25% [23:26] IsambardPrince Wrong. [23:26] IsambardPrince Well, they do get 25%, but Chinese tariffs are already higher. [23:26] MinceR [citation needed] [23:26] IsambardPrince The 20% additional are on top of the ones Trump put in the first time. [23:26] IsambardPrince So those are at 30% after his latest round. [23:26] MinceR ic [23:27] IsambardPrince China responded by putting tariffs on coal and natural gas. [23:27] IsambardPrince Okay, we sell it to Japan and Europe instead. [23:27] IsambardPrince Thanks for fucking your own economy some more I guess. [23:27] IsambardPrince :) [23:28] IsambardPrince Japan and Europe are not in a position to refuse us. [23:28] IsambardPrince They need energy and we have it. [23:28] IsambardPrince The other choice is pootie poot. [23:29] IsambardPrince MinceR, I think we should cut all military "aid" to Israel and focus more on Ukraine, Taiwan, and the United Nations Command in Korea. [23:30] IsambardPrince If Israel wants weapons they should have to buy them at a profit for us. [23:30] IsambardPrince No handouts. [23:30] IsambardPrince We've already given them too much. [23:30] MinceR i doubt that will ever happen [23:30] IsambardPrince True. [23:30] MinceR as long as nazi america exists [23:30] IsambardPrince They're a big parasite.

[23:31] IsambardPrince MinceR, Miller is advising Trump on Immigration. [23:31] IsambardPrince And he uses the playbook that the Nazi Germans used against the Jewish people. [23:31] IsambardPrince First you antagonize them and incite the public. [23:31] MinceR 06 002817 < IsambardPrince> The other choice is pootie poot. [23:31] IsambardPrince Then you make a "registry". [23:31] MinceR is there a difference? [23:31] IsambardPrince Then they have to carry "papers". [23:32] MinceR might as well go to the cheapest seller at this point. [23:32] IsambardPrince Then you open up a torture camp, good thing we have one in Cuba. [23:32] IsambardPrince Then there's the "Final Solution" of course.
