[00:07]	psydruid	dead rat is more nutricious when it is digested as a whole
[00:07]	schestowitz	microsoft nearly bought red hat
[00:07]	schestowitz	or bid for it
[00:08]	schestowitz	a year after it took over github
[00:08]	schestowitz	the reports from the press say,
[00:08]	schestowitz	microsoft turned that down ffor fear of antitrust action
[00:08]	schestowitz	and yet,
[00:08]	schestowitz	no action taken about githubn
[00:08]	schestowitz	pedophile peter helped with that
[00:09]	schestowitz	for a long time he seeded fake 'articles'
[00:09]	schestowitz	about how microsoft used and loved git, among other BS
[00:09]	schestowitz	anyway, i digress
[00:09]	schestowitz	about red hat,
[00:10]	schestowitz	seems probable this month they will say more layoffs coming
[00:10]	schestowitz	no longer based on what people told me
[00:10]	schestowitz	but based on what people online are writing
[00:10]	schestowitz	and show salient evidence for it

[00:16]	schestowitz	psydruid: it is not so simple
[00:16]	schestowitz	tbh, there is another outcome
[00:16]	schestowitz	not i feel 25 again
[00:16]	schestowitz	with novell
[00:16]	schestowitz	actually 24
[00:16]	schestowitz	and the goals
[00:16]	schestowitz	ruining novell was not killing suse
[00:16]	schestowitz	but removing the cancer
[00:16]	psydruid	there is a clear message here
[00:17]	schestowitz	that connected  suse to balmer
[00:17]	schestowitz	suse is still around
[00:17]	psydruid	side with the enemy, get torn apart
[00:17]	schestowitz	the suse developers also still around
[00:17]	psydruid	so it is indeed like novell
[00:17]	schestowitz	yes
[00:17]	schestowitz	that is the goal
[00:17]	psydruid	and we shouldn't pity them
[00:17]	schestowitz	you defect, you die
[00:17]	psydruid	red hat was a perfectly profitable business
[00:18]	schestowitz	red hat did not defect
[00:18]	schestowitz	it got sold
[00:18]	psydruid	but greed is killing it
[00:18]	schestowitz	ibm might be partly defecting
[00:18]	schestowitz	first to apple under ginni
[00:18]	schestowitz	and now "clown"
[00:18]	schestowitz	msft, aws etc.
[00:18]	schestowitz	that is not a good goal
[00:18]	psydruid	and now dead rat will go down with icbm
[00:19]	psydruid	two for the price of one
[00:19]	schestowitz	not quite
[00:19]	schestowitz	let me explain
[00:19]	schestowitz	to explain how i see things
[00:19]	schestowitz	ibm did a lot for us
[00:19]	schestowitz	in the 90s
[00:19]	schestowitz	than sco
[00:19]	schestowitz	and it used "us" to fight microsoft
[00:19]	schestowitz	which had grown since the late 80s
[00:20]	schestowitz	after icbm had foolishly helpped bill gates' mom
[00:20]	schestowitz	because she was an insider
[00:20]	schestowitz	later she died from cancer
[00:20]	schestowitz	but then   ibm pushed ODF
[00:20]	schestowitz	andd pushed back with novell
[00:20]	schestowitz	against SCO
[00:20]	schestowitz	at ssome point things went wrong
[00:20]	schestowitz	red hat was not doing well
[00:21]	schestowitz	and sought partnetships
[00:21]	schestowitz	around 2009 it did a virtualisation partership with msft
[00:21]	schestowitz	and itt had also abandoned the  difhg thgainst swpats
[00:21]	schestowitz	it siought to artificially infllate its "value" using patents
[00:22]	schestowitz	and later sold them to ibm
[00:22]	schestowitz	like we kept warning one day it would
[00:22]	schestowitz	and then rms asked eben moglen for me
[00:22]	schestowitz	and said it waaas ok
[00:22]	schestowitz	but it diidn't turn out ok
[00:22]	schestowitz	their patents ended up not "peaceful"
[00:22]	MinceR	https://ircz.de/p/24032232
[00:22]	TR Bot	 WHOOPSIE
[00:22]	schestowitz	ibm isss still suing companies for patent "uinfringmentt"
[00:23]	schestowitz	i need to restart  barrier on this box
[00:23]	schestowitz	far too many typos
[00:24]	psydruid	why should anyone care about IBM or Red Hat?
[00:24]	schestowitz	we should
[00:24]	schestowitz	they control too much
[00:24]	psydruid	because corporations are people too?
[00:24]	schestowitz	stuff like networkmanager
[00:24]	schestowitz	and the salaries pay thosee devs
[00:24]	schestowitz	for now
[00:24]	MinceR	corporations are people, my friend!
[00:25]	schestowitz	psydruid: it is hard enough to get paid to hack free software
[00:25]	schestowitz	red    hat gave some key devs a salary
[00:25]	schestowitz	for many years iut was ok
[00:25]	schestowitz	it funded fsf too
[00:25]	schestowitz	and gnu devs
[00:25]	schestowitz	and they didn't stick their coc in
[00:25]	schestowitz	then ibm came
[00:25]	schestowitz	and things are changing
[00:25]	schestowitz	the management is not the same
[00:25]	schestowitz	the real management
[00:25]	schestowitz	not the token "CEO"
[00:25]	schestowitz	matt
[00:25]	schestowitz	or krishna
[00:26]	schestowitz	the board of IBM
[00:26]	schestowitz	white men form ivvy league
[00:26]	schestowitz	they just want moneey
[00:26]	schestowitz	they have no grasp of community
[00:26]	schestowitz	or history
[00:26]	schestowitz	so what happened with novell was,
[00:26]	schestowitz	novell died
[00:27]	schestowitz	technically it was split and sold
[00:27]	schestowitz	so suse devs had no microsoft bosses
[00:27]	schestowitz	greg kh found another microsoft boss
[00:27]	schestowitz	sheela zemlin and her wife jim
[00:27]	schestowitz	then SAP stepped in
[00:27]	schestowitz	controlled suse for a number of yeas
[00:28]	schestowitz	SAP is like "Microsoft Deutschland subsidiary" 
[00:28]	schestowitz	at one point miicrosoft neatly bought sap
[00:28]	schestowitz	you can  find old articles about it
[00:28]	schestowitz	so back to ibm
[00:28]	schestowitz	i said around 2019
[00:28]	schestowitz	that the red hat people need to create red hat again outside ibm
[00:28]	schestowitz	this happened in free softrware many times before
[00:28]	schestowitz	like freenode
[00:28]	schestowitz	the staff quits
[00:28]	schestowitz	creates the same thing as before
[00:28]	schestowitz	elsewhere
[00:29]	psydruid	red hat was shopping itself around and filed patents
[00:29]	schestowitz	mariadb is one
[00:29]	psydruid	that sounds evil enough in itself
[00:29]	psydruid	and doesn't make me gain any sympathy for them
[00:30]	schestowitz	right
[00:30]	psydruid	well, let them create a new hat outside of red hat
[00:30]	psydruid	nothing is stopping anyone from doing so
[00:30]	schestowitz	there was an example i was gonna bring up and forgot while typing
[00:30]	schestowitz	it might come back latter
[00:30]	schestowitz	libreoffce was not a ccompany
[00:31]	schestowitz	psydruid: "IP"
[00:31]	schestowitz	IBM can try to litigate
[00:32]	schestowitz	they already obstruct access to RHEL code
[00:32]	psydruid	it sucks to be in the USA then
[00:32]	schestowitz	sso forks or compaanies like the one behind rocky (or alma) cannot quit attain fulll compatibility
[00:32]	schestowitz	i fforgot something else I wanted to say earlier
[00:32]	schestowitz	i need to write it down on paper or something
[00:32]	psydruid	maybe a new hat can be manufactured in Bangladesh

[00:34]	schestowitz	Bangladesh has issues with squatting though

[00:36]	psydruid	if "IP" is a problem in the US and maybe the EU, then new things will be done in places where there aren't such ridiculous "IP" laws
[00:36]	schestowitz	re red hat
[00:36]	schestowitz	strategy wise,
[00:36]	schestowitz	we need to lay things out
[00:36]	psydruid	and development will stagnate in the original centers of development
[00:36]	schestowitz	but i think showing their concerns about layoffs can help
[00:36]	schestowitz	they cannot rely on IBM
[00:36]	schestowitz	they can leave
[00:37]	schestowitz	as some did
[00:37]	schestowitz	and work independently
[00:37]	psydruid	maybe they like it at IBM
[00:37]	schestowitz	i think i know 2 people who did this
[00:37]	schestowitz	they beccame "consultants"
[00:37]	psydruid	the majority at least

[00:38]	psydruid	because being an IBM employee 100% of the time comes with its own perks
[00:38]	schestowitz	the perk is
[00:38]	schestowitz	getting paid 100% of the months
[00:38]	schestowitz	job security
[00:38]	schestowitz	but
[00:39]	schestowitz	that tooo cannot be taken for granted

[00:40]	schestowitz	damn, i forgot what i wanted to say earlier
[00:41]	schestowitz	but it was not so crucial anyway
[00:41]	schestowitz	overall, red hat is seen as "money asset"
[00:41]	schestowitz	of ibm
[00:41]	schestowitz	not as a living community
[00:41]	schestowitz	and that is a problem
[00:41]	schestowitz	novell was run by ron hovspian who had come from ibm
[00:41]	schestowitz	he was COO before

[00:42]	schestowitz	many are MBAs
[00:42]	schestowitz	it's all about money to them
[00:42]	schestowitz	it's a form of mental sickness
[00:42]	schestowitz	reinforced by their sociopath friends

[02:52]	DaemonFC	But there could be other reasons.
[02:52]	DaemonFC	It is harder to see that they're black, but it's also harder to see things that are wrong with their cars, or that their license plate isn't registered for the current year, or all kinds of things.

[02:54]	DaemonFC	Little problems lead to big problems.
[02:54]	DaemonFC	Even if your plate is current, they can use a license plate reader to see who the car belongs to and if their driver's license has expired.

[02:56]	MinceR	"left": if you're white, you're trash
[02:56]	DaemonFC	You can get pulled over by a cop because his plate scanner says the registered owner didn't renew THEIR driver's license.
[02:57]	DaemonFC	He has reasonable suspicion that the driver may not be licensed.
[02:57]	DaemonFC	MinceR: The Democrat answer is to just stop enforcing the laws at all unless you're white.
[02:57]	DaemonFC	Then make it twice as bad as it was before.
[02:58]	DaemonFC	This is why many States make it illegal to vote if you're a felon.
[02:58]	DaemonFC	When felons vote, they're your constituency.
[02:58]	DaemonFC	What do they want? Less cops. Lighter sentences. Judges that don't see anything wrong with slinging dope and fucking a kid.

[03:11]	DaemonFC	MinceR: The large population is putting downward pressure on wages and upwards pressure on prices.
[03:11]	DaemonFC	People suffer because it is too easy to have children.
[03:11]	DaemonFC	The government steals money from the productives to subsitize the unproductives.
[03:11]	DaemonFC	They don't have to find their own money to have children so they have more and more and some of them don't shoot each other or sell dope or end up in prison forever and need jobs.
[03:11]	schestowitz	it is worse
[03:12]	DaemonFC	Almost heaven.
[03:12]	schestowitz	the government exempts the rich
[03:12]	schestowitz	and is run by them
[03:12]	schestowitz	but anyway, the bottom line is
[03:12]	schestowitz	this year i heard of families with kid remorse
[03:12]	schestowitz	the parents are stuckk
[03:12]	schestowitz	unablee to provide

[03:12]	schestowitz	you can quit a job
[03:12]	DaemonFC	Wear a condom, take a pill...
[03:13]	DaemonFC	But eventually, too late.
[03:13]	schestowitz	but cannot quit parentgood
[03:13]	MinceR	DaemonFC: yet many people believe that there should be yet more of these stupid, evil, barbaric apes on this cursed, filthy ball of iron.
[03:13]	schestowitz	except if you are trans4human
[03:13]	schestowitz	then you "cut it"
[03:13]	schestowitz	and cut off the kids you had
[03:13]	schestowitz	with 2 women
[03:13]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Some progress was made in the US.
[03:13]	schestowitz	btw, trans4hamas confirmed this
[03:13]	schestowitz	by email
[03:13]	DaemonFC	The barrier of going to a doctor for a birth control pill was finally removed.
[03:13]	DaemonFC	Now it's the cost of the pill.
[03:14]	schestowitz	22 dollars?
[03:14]	DaemonFC	But you don't have to find $400 every 90 days to ask a doctor for more.
[03:14]	schestowitz	roughly?
[03:14]	schestowitz	and it is still not the right solution
[03:14]	schestowitz	but a contengency
[03:14]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: It's better than it was before.
[03:14]	schestowitz	a safety net
[03:14]	DaemonFC	Still not where we need to be.
[03:14]	schestowitz	<DaemonFC> But you don't have to find $400 every 90 days to ask a doctor for more.
[03:14]	schestowitz	in the uk they fill a form
[03:15]	schestowitz	in the past, not even that
[03:15]	DaemonFC	I don't often say this, but the government should subsidize birth control pills down to $0.
[03:15]	DaemonFC	They absolutely should.
[03:15]	schestowitz	they want to change this in poland now
[03:15]	schestowitz	but in the uk it is OTC
[03:15]	schestowitz	not that we  ever bought any
[03:15]	schestowitz	it's for p[eople who already failed
[03:15]	DaemonFC	OTC birth control pills are a new thing in the US.
[03:15]	schestowitz	and need a  recoourse
[03:15]	DaemonFC	Only weeks old.
[03:15]	schestowitz	weeks?
[03:16]	DaemonFC	Yeah, before that you had to see a doctor and get a prescription.
[03:16]	schestowitz	ah, so you mean the barrier
[03:16]	schestowitz	that you need to visit for papers
[03:16]	DaemonFC	Yeah, seeing the doctor is expensive. It's not even about the cost of the pills at that point if you're uninsured.
[03:16]	schestowitz	a month ago uk pharmacies started demanding you fill some forms
[03:16]	DaemonFC	Or underinsured.
[03:16]	schestowitz	but at no charge to you
[03:16]	schestowitz	prior to that youuu needed to chat to the head pharmacist
[03:17]	schestowitz	not speaking from experience
[03:17]	schestowitz	but based on a friendd
[03:17]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: I'm glad that I went to get a second opinion on the shoulder.
[03:17]	schestowitz	and they tell you don't do this again
[03:17]	schestowitz	and explain the side effects
[03:17]	DaemonFC	The doctor I saw last week said surgery is an extreme decision and we should try less drastic measures first.
[03:17]	schestowitz	DaemonFC: uyou did rush for the jab
[03:17]	schestowitz	and that did not help you
[03:17]	DaemonFC	It did not.

[04:20]	DaemonFC	It's too cold still to want to be out there with the car jacked up.
[04:20]	DaemonFC	Walmart has changed some things for liability reasons.
[04:20]	DaemonFC	They ruined so many oil drain pans that they now have to use a vacuum extractor that goes down the oil fill tube to suck out the used motor oil.
[04:20]	DaemonFC	Which is fine.
[04:21]	DaemonFC	I'd rather them do that than strip the bolt.
[04:21]	DaemonFC	I think more shops should use vacuum extractors to change oil. There shouldn't even be a drain pan.
[04:21]	DaemonFC	It's just more shit to go wrong.
[04:21]	DaemonFC	The pan is a separate part that bolts on. It needs its own gasket.
[04:22]	DaemonFC	Those can rot and start leaking oil.
[04:22]	DaemonFC	If you were meant to get the old oil out with a vacuum extractor you could forego that and there'd be one less way the car can run out of oil and break down.
[04:23]	DaemonFC	When they rot and start leaking oil, it's about $400-500 to have a shop replace it.
[04:23]	DaemonFC	That's $30-40 for the part and the rest is labor, naturally.
[04:23]	DaemonFC	That's exactly why some cars have gone to "sealed" transmissions.
[04:24]	DaemonFC	You can change the fluid but it has to come out of the tube they filled it with at the factory and stuck a dipstick in.
[04:24]	DaemonFC	They're not really sealed, you just can't take off the pan.
[04:24]	DaemonFC	A lot of manufacturers say "sealed transmission" "lifetime fluid", but the truth is that it gets dirty and deteriorates. If you don't change it the transmission fails.
[04:24]	DaemonFC	So they lie.
[04:25]	DaemonFC	There is no entry for "change transmission fluid" on my car.
[04:25]	DaemonFC	But I have done it, twice.
[04:25]	DaemonFC	It still shifts perfectly fine.

[04:50]	schestowitz	Mark my words. Let's revisit this in 12 months.

Before coming out with shite like that he should ask himself what reaction it would have got on there.
[04:51]	schestowitz	"That's a really odd thing for them to say because my brief stint with IBM was nothing BUT mundane, useless tasks. And of course pointed questions about why I wasn't getting my real job done. Nor someone else's.
[04:51]	schestowitz	Which was the last straw."
[04:52]	schestowitz	"While this is all true enough, it's likely not how IBM/RedHat are defining "mundane".
[04:52]	schestowitz	The key here is "highest value work", which is to say: most profitable for the big wheels.
[04:52]	schestowitz	The employees being "engaged" or having their "energy drained" is just window dressing talk; in this context "mundane" simply means "less likely to pad our fat executive bonuses"."

[04:52]	schestowitz	The "most engaging" tasks are typically complex and demand a lot of mental effort & can be very draining after a few hours.
[04:52]	schestowitz	Mundane tasks (assuming mundane === easy) can actually be good as they give your brain a "cool down", where its not working at 100%, if you are on continual 100% mental effort work it's a path to burnout."

[07:50]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: "Cantonese SPAM" tomorrow.
[07:50]	DaemonFC	Yum.
[07:54]	DaemonFC	And after relying on a longtime personal doctor and then two White House physicians who had attested to his well-being in office, Trump turned to an unknown on the national stage to provide this report: Bruce Aronwald, a 64-year-old osteopathic physician from New Jersey and a longtime member of Trumps Bedminster golf club.
[07:54]	DaemonFC	What's wrong with seeing a DO?
[07:55]	DaemonFC	> Donald Trump picked up a phone to pressure a Nebraska state senator to revive a winner-take-all system of awarding its Electoral College votes for president, the Nebraska Examiner reports.
[07:55]	DaemonFC	> Trump called State Sen. Tom Brewer (R), who said there wasnt time left in the session.
[07:55]	DaemonFC	> Trump then reportedly told Brewer, who is term-limited this year, that his political career was over.
[07:56]	DaemonFC	:)
[07:56]	DaemonFC	It's "possible" for Biden to win one electoral vote from Nebraska under their current system. Like Obama did in 2008 and Biden himself did in 2020.
[07:56]	DaemonFC	Trump is furious that this is even possible.
[07:57]	DaemonFC	I wonder what the internal polling by the Trump campaign looks like that Trump feels compelled to pick up the phone and bitch and threaten people over a single vote.
[07:57]	DaemonFC	It's a swingy vote. Trump won a single electoral vote from Maine twice I think.
[07:57]	DaemonFC	But thanks to ranked-choice, Biden will probably get it.
[07:59]	DaemonFC	Alaska also has ranked choice now, which could theoretically affect the presidential election. The Republicans are pissed about it because it gave them a Democrat in their at-large congressional district for the first time in several decades.
● Apr 07
[08:00]	DaemonFC	Ranked choice basically removes the "noise" of third-party candidates. Instead of vote-siphoning, people there to vote for the Green Party may make Biden their second choice. Since the GP never wins anything, Biden would get the re-allocated votes.

[08:01]	TR Bot	 DNC Hits Trump on Abortion in Florida
[08:02]	DaemonFC	The Democrats got Constitutional Amendments to legalize abortion on the ballot in Florida and Arizona. The Republicans were trying desperately to get rid of it in Florida.
[08:02]	DaemonFC	They don't want it fucking up some close House races, a Senate race where Rick Scott has never won anything by more than 2%, and maybe even the big one.
[08:03]	DaemonFC	It's more likely to nudge Arizona over into the Biden column but Florida has more EVs and would be a real jackpot if it's possible to win it based on a groundswell of young voters who don't like the State in their reproductive systems.
[08:04]	DaemonFC	Plus, Biden knows that people in general hate the Republican position on abortion and has already been running swing state ads with Trump admitting he's the reason why it's banned.

[08:06]	DaemonFC	He loses on the economy and immigration, but if he can make it about other things, like abortion and healthcare in general, he may do better.

[09:07]	DaemonFC	This is crazy. I remember when they had the market so segmented you'd be lucky if you could buy a Celeron with barely any RAM at all for that much money, and when the money was worth twice as much.

[21:06]	TR News	"People choose Discord because it's popular. That's really it. It's not got any features that make it uniquely well-suited to software development (and indeed it's actively hostile in a lot of ways). It's really just marketing, and it's disappointing every time a project chooses it (especially now that Discord is going to start showing ads)."
[21:06]	DaemonFC	If the media mentions gay men, it's rarely, if they mention black ones in particular you hear about it once or twice and then they delete the articles or retroactively edit that part out, and then the CDC stops publishing it.
[21:06]	TR News	"It asked me for a screen name, and I picked one. It then dumped me into an endless captcha loop, which I just gave up on after 3 iterations. Maybe it didn't like my ad blocker(s). Who knows, who cares (I love rsync, use it religiously, but don't have much to contribute, so I'm not the target audience)."
[21:07]	TR News	"I seem to remember a guy that didn't like the closed source nature of BitKeeper and started to reverse engineer it. I wonder if that same guy could do something about Discord..." That's also Trigde's fault. And why we have git now.
[21:07]	TR News	"I would humbly request that you choose something other than Discord. They've started showing ads among other things and it's a closed platform. Matrix does everything you need from Discord, and the Matrix developers don't need to follow the whims of Chinese investors (i.e. Tencent)."
[21:08]	TR News	"We ask that comments be polite and respectful, and nationalism is not something that aligns with those values. It's also worth noting that Discord has something like 34 investors, many of which are U.S.-based."
[21:08]	TR News	Pointing out China's CPC does espionage and surveillance is now "nationalism"???
[21:08]	TR News	"Really, editor? Its mere nationalism? Chinese developers themselves would be the first to acknowledge that the Party keeps a tight grip on tech companies and attempts to control online discourse. That is, if they were allowed to freely give their views."
