[01:59] IsambardPrince They agreed to buy a bunch of them, but the fighter jet runs on about 8 million lines of proprietary software, and the US won't shhare the source code. [01:59] MinceR :> [01:59] IsambardPrince So all mission packages have to be processed in the US and sent to Canada. [01:59] MinceR lol [01:59] IsambardPrince Without those, the jet is only partially operable. ● Mar 07 [02:00] IsambardPrince So now Canada is considering dropping the F-35 contract and purchasing its new jet fighters from Sweden instead. [02:00] IsambardPrince The Swedish fighter jet is not a stealth fighter, but it also doesn't rely on software much. [02:01] Sompi Britain and Israel have that source code, but other countries haven't [02:01] Sompi Somehow all this came as a surprise to Finnish politicians, although they were warned by us activists [02:01] nobody i was a little mad over TexasInstruments who blobbed their firmware for the graphical calculators used in german schools and universities [02:02] MinceR so even Airstrip One comes before that alleged claim to "51st state" than Canada [02:02] Sompi Finland should have just bought half of the fighter jets from Sweden and the other half from Russia [02:03] Sompi Instead it bought only F-35:s and the price is going up and up [02:03] IsambardPrince If Canada ends the contract it sticks Trump and Lockheed in the eye. [02:03] IsambardPrince It drives up the cost of the program for the US again. [02:03] IsambardPrince And it denies the US billions of dollars in foreign sales from the program. [02:04] Sompi Finland's politicians will happily send our tax money to NATO to compensate for that [02:04] MinceR i wonder what sort of backdoors the orcish figter jets have [02:04] MinceR do those have computers in them? [02:04] IsambardPrince Yes, if the US wants to invade Canada and Canada relies on the F-35, we can cripple their air force by refusing to give them the software they need to get their fighters scrambled. [02:04] MinceR s/gt/ght/ [02:04] IsambardPrince Nice huh? [02:04] MinceR proprietary software doing what proprietary software does [02:04] Sompi That's why no country should buy F-35:s [02:05] nobody the US sabotaged all global supply chains with proprietary and anti-competitive malice [02:06] IsambardPrince Canada should buy the Swedish jets even without the stealth features. It's fairly likely that it's more capable than the F-35 in other ways. [02:06] IsambardPrince You always trade something for stealth. [02:06] IsambardPrince It's almost certainly cheaper, meaning they can probably buy many more of them too. [02:11] Sompi Finnish media doesn't even show any news about the backdoors in F-35:s. The propaganda machine is still acting like the backdoors don't exist [02:11] MinceR that's how people approach computers in general [02:12] MinceR no talk about IME, or pluton, or the myriad holes in systemd and windows [02:12] MinceR or Dual_EC_DRBG [02:13] Sompi or the EU's USB-C directive [02:13] Sompi or CRA [02:13] MinceR just unlimited naive trust toward every entity that has a lot of political power [02:14] Sompi it is really weird [02:14] IsambardPrince "We can replace the people, but we can't replace those who they drive away." says a man who has never done anything for Free Software since the mid 2000s. [02:15] Sompi how the majority of people have suddenly started trusting so blindly to something that they don't know how it works [02:15] IsambardPrince I've made contributions to Free Software much more recently than he has. [02:16] IsambardPrince Like making sure it runs on modern laptops. [02:16] IsambardPrince Even if those laptops are horrible. [02:17] IsambardPrince There are no longer any PCs that come with Windows that would boot had I not challenged Lenovo. [02:17] IsambardPrince Well, to be more correct, the live image might boot. [02:18] IsambardPrince But there'd be no storage media you could install it to. [02:18] MinceR i suspect it's not so sudden, but a pattern they've followed through millennia [02:18] MinceR or at least decades [02:18] Sompi The vocational school where I got my electrician's papers bought some new Lenovos, that was already back in 2019 and they were already horrible [02:19] Sompi It was very difficult to get them to boot anything else than Microsoft Windows [02:19] Sompi All other boot options were hidden behind various menus in the SETUP program and it was unclear if the boot process happened in UEFI or BIOS mode [02:20] MinceR some tools tell you what mode they booted in, if you can get them to boot [02:20] MinceR iirc Ventoy and Super Grub2 Disk both do [02:20] Sompi And they also had some very nasty firmware bug that the laptops often "bricked" themselves but they could be fixed by removing the RAM, turning them on and off and then putting the RAM back [02:20] Sompi And they did that very often [02:22] Sompi And if I remember correctly, if you did something wrong while the laptop was in that "bricked" state, it 100% bricked itself and never came back alive anymore [02:22] Sompi So you had to be careful with them [02:23] Sompi Going to the SETUP program was very risky. Sometimes just looking at the laptop funnily while they were POSTing could trigger the firmware bug, and if the battery went out of power while the computer was POSTing [02:23] Sompi And those were supposed to be professional-grade laptops [02:39] admfubar https://hackaday.com/2025/03/06/why-56k-modems-relied-on-digital-phone-lines-you-didnt-know-we-had/ [02:39] TR Bot 56k Modems Relied On Digital Phone Lines You Didnt Know We Had | Hackaday [02:41] Sompi What about 115,2k modems [02:43] Sompi (the maximum baud of a PC serial port) [02:45] MinceR did those ever exist?

The president and speaker are embracing it as a way to avoid a politically damaging shutdown fight among Republicans while still affording Mr. Trump wide latitude to slash spending on his own in defiance of Congress." [02:57] IsambardPrince The Democrats should just let it shut down.

[03:16] nobody and they had to pass this in violation of the constition and in violation of EU contracts [03:16] nobody *constitution [03:16] IsambardPrince In fact, if they hit the debt limit, the treasury can't pay back its loans even if it wants to. [03:16] IsambardPrince It would be illegal because retards are running the government, which is why there's a debt limit. [03:17] nobody the explanation here is, "well, you know, Trump, the whole world and the sitution, we've not seen it coming" [03:17] IsambardPrince Trump wants lower interest rates, but even if there is a technical default for a few minutes, interest rates will go up. [03:17] IsambardPrince So I'm guessing he won't risk it.

[03:19] IsambardPrince They're around 4% right now, they'd be at 7 or 8% even if the default didn't last very long. [03:20] IsambardPrince Trump doesn't control that rate. The government has auctions and if investors don't believe they'll be paid back, the risk will drive up interest rates. [03:20] IsambardPrince So if you lock in 4% somewhere for a very long time, rates could nearly double and you wouldn't get that. [03:22] IsambardPrince "President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to create a national stockpile of Bitcoin and other digital currencies, an adviser said, an audacious idea that has been widely criticized as a scheme to enrich crypto investors. [03:22] IsambardPrince The basis of the stockpile will be a stash of Bitcoin, estimated to be worth as much as $17 billion, that the United States has seized in legal cases over the years, according to a summary of the order posted on social media by David Sacks, the White Houses crypto and A.I. policy czar."

[06:27] IsambardPrince One of Trump's first achievements in office in 2017, was making sure that it's cheaper for crazy people to buy a gun than to see a psychiatrist.

In the event of a federal breakdown the medicaid expansio [07:35] IsambardPrince n program will be shuttered, but state jobs will still be necessary. There is not much fluff in terms of normal jobs, all the padding and corruption is in leadership whose jobs are required by statute.
