[00:00]	nobody	it's swolling with a blue-ish taint, can't barely walk for more than a week
[00:00]	nobody	my appartment-doorlocking bolt cracked, and the door didn't open, so i decided to jump out of the window, first-fllow
[00:00]	nobody	floor
[00:01]	nobody	ouch, no, i'm no teenager anymore, and gained some weight
[00:03]	nobody	i had taken worse beating than this, falling of the bicycle, ellbow cracked, neck cracked while practicing judo
[00:03]	nobody	something's strange, with pain, that's the moment of relieve
[00:04]	nobody	never taken pain-killers, but it's the same effect when something hurt for days and weeks, once pain relieved
[00:04]	nobody	*swollen
[00:05]	nobody	same with mental pain and loneliness
[00:06]	nobody	in consider that worse than some minor physical pain i was accustomed do with sports
[00:07]	nobody	IsambardPrince: you could try a heating-matrace
[00:08]	nobody	those are sold on amazon, attached to the matrace, and keep the back warm
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	I've had to jump out of a window before. When I was like 16.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	My ex's mother didn't like me much and wanted to have me trespassed.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Nothing ever came of it because I was long gone from there by the time they showed up.
[00:12]	IsambardPrince	I solved the problem by never going onto the property again.
[00:12]	IsambardPrince	She was mad but there was really nothing she could do after that.
[00:13]	nobody	in recent weeks, i've learned a little about US culture
[00:13]	nobody	some wrestling show is touring europe currently, and that was advertized here
[00:14]	nobody	30 years ago, we didn't have pay tv and wasn't permitted to stay up, if at all such shows were broadcasted
[00:14]	nobody	but on youtube, the old wrestling shows are published, so I watched a few of those
[00:15]	nobody	it's all there, the drama and story telling, extra specials, interviews
[00:17]	nobody	some say, pro wrestling isn't real, even the athletes crush their bones
[00:17]	nobody	i mean, they don't intend to, but their stunts are extreme
[00:17]	nobody	too some of the women's matches are, extremely rough
[00:18]	MinceR	turns out OpenBSD 7.6 can suspend with S0ix on my ThinkPad X1 Carbon g10 (by setting machdep.lidaction=-1), though it's experimental, looks weird and uses more power than S3 state used to
[00:18]	MinceR	but at least it works
[00:19]	nobody	what's weird looking about it?
[00:20]	MinceR	the lid LED blinks (as if it was trying to hibernate) instead of pulsating
[00:20]	MinceR	if i suspend it on GNU/Linux, it pulsates normally
[00:20]	nobody	S3 state always was a hit and miss, with ACPI, but it was very good with power-savings, almost complete shut down of the hardware, and instant wake-up in a second
[00:20]	MinceR	and so, naturally, intHell had to eliminate it
[00:20]	MinceR	and come up with S0ix instead
[00:22]	nobody	so, they made ACPI S3 much betterer again, up to the point it's not working, again, after more than two decades of development
[00:23]	nobody	i hate ACPI
[00:23]	nobody	the old thinkpads didn't need it, for example, the display brightness control was independent
[00:23]	MinceR	:>
[00:23]	nobody	thinkpad T40 for example, brighness buttons work, even without any special gpu-driver module loaded
[00:24]	nobody	too the audio-control buttons just work
[00:25]	MinceR	they even call it "modern" standby
[00:25]	nobody	the T40 didn't have the windows keys yet
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	nobody, Yes, people have died in pro wrestling.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	Even though it's just entertainment, those moves can go wrong, plus there was the one that fell off the rope while entering the ring.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	nobody, It's sort of "low entertainment", right?
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	It appeals to the truck driver who is bored on Saturday, so he grabs a beer and tunes into the WWE match or something.
[00:28]	IsambardPrince	That's why Trump is friends with Vince McMahon.
[00:28]	IsambardPrince	It doesn't take much to entertain these folks, they don't have much money left after beer and child support payments.
[00:28]	IsambardPrince	So the fight's on tonight!
[00:29]	nobody	IsambardPrince: you may not believe, i've been just a small boy myself too, even when i studied maths and things
[00:29]	IsambardPrince	Then there's all the women in WWE, you know, walking around the ring, barely dressed.
[00:29]	IsambardPrince	Huge tits.
[00:29]	IsambardPrince	It's all designed to appeal to men.
[00:30]	IsambardPrince	No reason for her to be there except huge tits, barely dressed, while a couple guys pretend to fight.
[00:32]	IsambardPrince	Then there's women's wrestling, which is definitely for men.
[00:32]	IsambardPrince	This seems to be in Japan too.
[00:33]	nobody	in ancient rome circus maximus, gladiators too were fighting with wild animals
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	The US was very influential in rewriting the Constitutions of Germany and Japan and they look nothing like the US Constitution. I wouldn't say modern Japan is extremely homophobic, but the US added a "marriage is one man, one woman" clause to their Constitution.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	Inflicting US morals from the mid 20th century on them.
[00:34]	nobody	nearby vegas, Rodeo events, i've watched some of those too
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	Now they have to hack around it because it's still there even though almost 80% of Japanese people would legalize gay marriage.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	So you have crazy stuff, like one partner "adopts" the other.
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	That way they aren't married, but they get tax benefits and estate rights.
[00:36]	MinceR	it would be nice if the state didn't reward marriages with such things
[00:36]	MinceR	it's none of their business
[00:36]	MinceR	but we live in a society where people get off on running other people's lives (very poorly)
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Right. The state shouldn't be allowed to decide who is married. It should pass a blanket tax code that applies to everyone and evens out.
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	And marriage should devolve to civil contracts and Power of Attorney agreements.
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	In accordance with the Tenth Amendment.
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Theoretically a US State could do this and the feds would have to recognize it, within the bounds of RFMA.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	So the State could say "Anyone who wants to be married, you just draw up your own contract and you're married."
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	And the feds would have to recognize it.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	No more marriage licenses, no officiants, no judges.
[00:38]	nobody	anyway, i've learned a little about us culture, although wrestling isn't fully representing it
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	It is possible. The federal government mostly leaves it to the States, and the States _could_ hand it to the People, if they wanted to.
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	They don't want to.
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	nobody, These tariffs, I predict, won't survive long.
[00:40]	IsambardPrince	They'll collapse because there's too many people who don't want them, including the donor class.
[00:40]	IsambardPrince	And try telling Americans they can't go shopping as much.
[00:40]	IsambardPrince	It's never worked out for anyone who tried.
[00:40]	IsambardPrince	Trump got away with tariffs on China lat time only because businesses mostly ate it while they pivoted to India and Vietnam, who are not exempt this time.
[00:42]	nobody	IsambardPrince: not sure
[00:42]	nobody	i suspect US is in trouble, with their huge deficits
[00:42]	nobody	US couldn't impose the amount of tariffs necessary to compensate
[00:46]	nobody	i was reading last time US imposed tariffs at that scale, was 1930s
[00:52]	nobody	and business habits of US corporations didn't help with trust
[00:52]	nobody	although i am observing this theater from within germany, far distant
[00:53]	nobody	so i could only shed some light upon the excess social discrepancies caused by various political agendas, following along ideals of UN/US/EU (i slump those all into the same bag)

[00:57]	nobody	since this is all some recent news, i can't conclude yet
[00:57]	nobody	in any case, if some corrupt EU apparatschiks dislike the measures taken by DJT
[00:57]	nobody	those probably can't be all too wrong
[00:59]	nobody	there's something else, related to "digital services taxation"
[00:59]	nobody	which both US and EU business had to pay for with their activities
[00:59]	nobody	but there's nothing settled yet
[00:59]	nobody	and even if some moderate taxation was approrpriate, i fear the cashflow would just be routed again into the corrupt apparatus
● Apr 08
[01:00]	nobody	that EU and other "shareholder value" and subsidy benefitiearies were
[01:01]	nobody	they've dumped and burned that much cash into void already, i am not sure i wanted to see EU grab another giant cashpot
[01:02]	nobody	and this is what djt is taking aim at too
[01:03]	nobody	meanwhile his former best buddy posed with a chainsaw
[01:03]	nobody	it's probably just wishtinking, djt could punish eu for their corruption
[01:04]	nobody	for example, the whole "carbon certificate" scam, that's been a win-win for musk and eu
[01:04]	nobody	too those shitty f-35 deals
[01:04]	nobody	it's difficult to comprehend all this, and djt probably couldn't either
[01:05]	nobody	there's rumors occasionally, some facts had to be tailored for his and his voters' comprehension
[01:06]	nobody	in any case, my feelings telling me, US needs to normalize their economic activity
[01:06]	nobody	back to normal, not some austerity, but there's no more 10% annual surplus with nvidia stocks to be had
[01:07]	nobody	it's not at least some recession, if stocks returned back to normal
[01:07]	nobody	overrated
[01:08]	nobody	in recent 10 years, stocks almost tripled
[01:08]	nobody	how much tariffs would US want to impose than? 250%?
[01:09]	nobody	relative to what?
[01:10]	nobody	10% annual compound interest for US stocks, that's very much
[01:12]	nobody	i've calculated my average annual income increased ~<3% in recent 20years
[01:13]	nobody	energy prices increased 5fold
[01:15]	nobody	i'll soon know more

[02:35]	IsambardPrince	"Del Bigtree, a prominent anti-vaccine activist who supported Kennedy's presidential run and recently co-founded a non-profit with him called MAHA Action, also questioned the health secretary's endorsement. Bigtree suggested that Kennedy's post had "got cut off." He then went on to make unproven claims about vaccines and autism, and linked to a documentary he had made on the topic.
[02:35]	IsambardPrince	"We voted for challenging the medical establishment, not endorsing it," posted Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a Texas-based physician who has opposed COVID vaccines and is currently fighting a complaint from Texas's medical board over hospital admitting privileges. Bowden says the complaint is related to her prescribing patients ivermectin. Ivermectin is an unproven alternative therapy for COVID.
[02:35]	IsambardPrince	"Kennedy was one of those candidates that attracted people who might not vote for Trump," Bowden told NPR in an interview. Much of the attraction was from people who were "very fed up with what happened during the pandemic," she says. "Neither Biden or Trump were willing to even talk about the pandemic, and Kennedy was," she says."

[04:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	Voting IBM Shares and Junior Achievement USA donation - Sheer Hypocrisy from IBM
[04:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	Did anyone who has IBM shares get a notice in the mail about IBM making a charitable $1 donation to Junior Achievement USA for every shareholder account that votes this year ?
[04:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	Consider the way that the IBM layoffs are conducted with large numbers of US employees being laid off or just let go from IBM on one flimsy excuse or another; the jobs are then shipped off to the favorite jobs destination, India. It seems like sheer hypocrisy from Alvind and his Pipmunks to even consider a donation to a US Charity given the ill treatment of IBM US employees. After all, it's not likely to amount to more than a few 
[04:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	thousand dollars at most. And why mention the global economy in the message when no one gives a cr*p about the global economy these days, except perhaps Alvind and Krabanaugh ? Certainly not the guys in Washington who want tariffs. Or the IBM folks being shown the door after doing a good job for many years.

[08:43]	IsambardPrince	https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baconator&oldid=1272678608
[08:43]	TR Bot	 Baconator - Wikipedia
[08:43]	IsambardPrince	For two weeks, the page about the Wendy's Baconator said:
[08:43]	IsambardPrince	"The primary product conducts primarily of deceased living organisms as it's meat and investigation happened in 2017 where remains of a man named James Acomb were found in the burgers, after some investigation, it was discovered that a corrupt manager was working with an employee to collect remains on things like dogs, cats, and even some human remains, the manager and the employee were arrested and were sentenced to life in jail, 
[08:43]	IsambardPrince	with accidental man slaughter and destruction of private property, and some other charges."
[08:43]	IsambardPrince	---
[08:44]	IsambardPrince	Because someone on a library computer in Washington, DC edited it to say that. From an IP address.
[08:44]	IsambardPrince	It's easy to vandalize a page in subtle ways. I've found pages on famous battles in history where people got in and changed facts and figures.
[08:45]	IsambardPrince	It was not obviously wrong, so it stayed there for a long time.
[08:45]	IsambardPrince	So the site is questionable, because mean people will edit it to cause harm to it. Not just paid trolls.

[20:05]		*teknutr (~teknutr@h9taw9d936aju.irc) has joined #techrights
[20:11]	teknutr	wow.. very cool. I just used the CHATHISTORY feature for the 1st time
[20:11]	teknutr	since TR uses the Ergo server, that command is supported

[20:56]	CrystalMath	MinceR: it's actually quite problematic
[20:56]	CrystalMath	rust is very slow to compile
[20:57]	MinceR	and is nonfree
[20:57]	MinceR	and is controlled by MICROS~1 (then again, so's Linux...)
[20:57]	CrystalMath	yeah....
[20:57]	CrystalMath	we need a new hobbyist system, really
[20:58]	CrystalMath	maybe we should all just go for Haiku OS
[20:59]	MinceR	i'm moving to openbsd for now
[20:59]	MinceR	though i'm also planning to look into smaller hobbyist systems with their own windowing system, since hardly anyone (or no one) can maintain X anymore
● Apr 08
[21:08]	CrystalMath	MinceR: i would maintain X
[21:08]	CrystalMath	but my maintenance would apply to already supported hardware only
[21:08]	CrystalMath	not new hardware
[21:08]	CrystalMath	i really would never want to leave X11
[21:08]	MinceR	which brings us to the need for independent hardware
[21:11]	nobody	with x11 unicode support was the show stopper, which some undesirable gnome-libs were needed for (and c++, not that it made a big difference)
[21:12]	nobody	at that point, i moved back onto linux-framebuffer
[21:13]	CrystalMath	nobody: eh, bitmap fonts are good enough
[21:13]	CrystalMath	i really like bitmap fonts
[21:14]	nobody	i could check how OpenBSD implemented unicode support with their xenocara fork
[21:14]	nobody	CrystalMath: i don't remember all details, X11 wasn't the problem itself, unicode support was
[21:14]	CrystalMath	yeah so freetype?
[21:14]	nobody	there was more
