CrystalMath

yes and they must live with everything else that evolve here

CrystalMath

just like everything else

CrystalMath

*evolves

CrystalMath

CrystalMath

either take it, or take a hike, but don't try to cry around about your stupid medical systems

Mar 09 00:02

CrystalMath

nobody cares... just like you don't care about Sarbecovirus, nor Salmonella

Mar 09 00:02

MinceR

that blade cuts both ways, though

Mar 09 00:04

MinceR

if Sarbecovirus doesn't like what we're doing about it, it can go find its own planet

Mar 09 00:04

CrystalMath

i don't hear it complaining all the time

Mar 09 00:06

CrystalMath

it seems to be winning just fine

Mar 09 00:06

CrystalMath

i am cheering for it to become permanently endemic, and to force the humans down to their knees and make them accept its superiority

Mar 09 00:07

DaemonFC[m]

<MinceR "maybe twitler could have done in"> Trump was trying not to count noncitizens in the Census.

Mar 09 00:07

DaemonFC[m]

But the career employees at the Census made up excuses to not hand Trump the data in time.

CrystalMath

i'm always cheering for humans to be put into their place and cut down

vmg3

like a flea circus with marching band

CrystalMath

and shown that they're not the boss, but that something else is

CrystalMath

idk, maybe it's a desire for god to be real?

MinceR

a "god" invented by humans?

CrystalMath

yeah but a different god, an impersonal one

CrystalMath

one that has no correlation with humans

MinceR

the most popular ones are the shoddiest ones ever invented

CrystalMath

something like the god in gnosticism

CrystalMath

(not the demiurge, who is human-like and evil)

CrystalMath

this god doesn't dictate any rules or claims that any certain action on earth is morally superior

Mar 09 00:10

CrystalMath

it's probably the only religion that isn't anthropocentric

Mar 09 00:11

CrystalMath

its followers were urged by it not to have children, for example

Mar 09 00:11

CrystalMath

it also inspired many forms of satanism but also scientology

Mar 09 00:12

CrystalMath

but pretty much "loosely inspired"

Mar 09 00:12

DaemonFC[m]

But the Xenomorph wasn't really a creature that could sustain itself.

Mar 09 01:11

DaemonFC[m]

Eventually it kills all the hosts and then it just lays eggs and waits for some new species to land there and poke around.

Mar 09 01:12

DaemonFC[m]

It's a bioweapon.

Mar 09 01:12

DaemonFC[m]

The only thing it's supposed to do is kill everything and then set a trap.

Mar 09 01:13

DaemonFC[m]

That's why the Engineers developed the Black Goo.

Mar 09 01:13

DaemonFC[m]

David managed to reactivate one of their ships and dump the Black Goo all over one of their worlds to experiment on them.

Mar 09 01:14

DaemonFC[m]

As an android, and especially one capable of free thought and without moral imperatives, David saw humans as pathetic and himself as superior, and set out to create something that would kill humans.

Mar 09 01:15

DaemonFC[m]

Eventually (Alien Resurrection), humans managed to destroy the Earth themselves.

Mar 09 01:16

DaemonFC[m]

Which is pretty much what would have happened sooner had the Weyland-Yutani Corporation managed to get those things back to Earth and experiment with them.

Mar 09 01:16

DaemonFC[m]

In every movie where the humans or even the Predators thought they had things under control, the Xenomorphs (especially with a Queen) gain the upperhand.

Mar 09 01:17

DaemonFC[m]

In the two AVP movies they had to use Weapons of Mass Destruction to wipe out the infestation before it spread.

Mar 09 01:18

DaemonFC[m]

The Predators has some sort of plasma bomb and the humans in the second one had to drop a nuclear warhead on a town in Colorado.

Mar 09 01:19

DaemonFC[m]

At the end of the second movie, it basically says how humans managed to develop deep space travel so quickly.

Mar 09 01:20

DaemonFC[m]

One of the Predators lost their plasma canon and the US military came into possession of it.

Mar 09 01:20

DaemonFC[m]

Obviously, taking it apart to see how it worked led humans to new technological breakthroughs in energy and weapons technology.

Mar 09 01:22

DaemonFC[m]

What should have taken hundreds of years instead too decades.

Mar 09 01:22

MinceR: If COVID struck in the 1980s we'd have been fucked.

Mar 09 01:23

DaemonFC[m]

I mean, live attenuated virus vaccines maybe.

Mar 09 01:24

MinceR

we weren't as connected back then, though

Mar 09 01:24

DaemonFC[m]

The Chinese are developing crude vaccines where one mistake in the process could end up infecting people with COVID instead.

Mar 09 01:24

MinceR

orban loves that

Mar 09 01:25

DaemonFC[m]

Russia seems to be way ahead of them. The US seems to be a decade or so ahead of the Russians.

Mar 09 01:25

DaemonFC[m]

<DaemonFC[m] "The Chinese are developing crude"> There was a Coronavirus pandemic in the late 1800s.

Mar 09 01:26

DaemonFC[m]

It got around just fine back then.

Mar 09 01:27

DaemonFC[m]

If it's infectious enough, it will manage.

MinceR: SG-1 Season 1 is the weakest.

Mar 09 01:29

DaemonFC[m]

Especially the episode where Carter has to prove to the Space Mongols that she's not property.

Mar 09 01:29

DaemonFC[m]

That one hasn't held up very well considering that women are in most roles in society now, including our vice president and in combat roles in the military.

Mar 09 01:30

XRevan86

DaemonFC[m]: In Space Mongol society?

Mar 09 01:31

DaemonFC[m]

<XRevan86 "DaemonFC: In Space Mongol societ"> Well, after she gets done with them I guess.

Mar 09 01:32

DaemonFC[m]

MinceR: Starting Voyager again.

DaemonFC[m]

Quark makes an appearance.

DaemonFC[m]

The Ferengi as Space Jews.

MinceR

i don't see how

MinceR

that group of people weren't even on earth

XRevan86

DaemonFC[m]: Oy-vey, druzhe, don't be so blunt.

MinceR

and on earth, there still are countries where women are considered to be second-class citizens at best

XRevan86

How timely, March 8th was just yesterday.

Mar 09 01:38

DaemonFC[m]

It's today here.

It's like $40-50 a tooth to have them sealed at the dentist.

but you spread this data around

I don't upload my TODO lists

schestowitz

people have gone crazy

schestowitz

not for keeping notes

DaemonFC[m]

It seems the Oral-B one does better than I do.

schestowitz

but for not knowing how to manage data access and granularity

schestowitz

many people walk around with devices that broadcast their location every few seconds

schestowitz

and what's the benefit?

DaemonFC[m]

Well, if I can reduce the tartar buildup between cleanings by 80 or 90%, it was a good investment, wasn't it?

schestowitz

you can receive a call?

schestowitz

DaemonFC[m]: buy toothpaste, get a pack of brushes, brush

schestowitz

you don't need to turn it into a ceremony

DaemonFC[m]

Oh I do, and there's always a lot of disgusting sticky blue stuff in the sink.

schestowitz

some people I know get stats on their sleep

DaemonFC[m]

No matter how well I do.

DaemonFC[m]

I have to brush a second time to even get close to this.

schestowitz

this is pathetic and I think it shows or illuminates an issue

schestowitz

DaemonFC[m]

schestowitz

schestowitz

finding solace in some "Smart" (not) things

DaemonFC[m]

Nobody is going to stand there and brush twice to get these results.

DaemonFC[m]

So they buy the electric one with bluetooth.

schestowitz

waste of money

schestowitz

waste of material

schestowitz

invest in a real computer

schestowitz

not ovens with microphones in them

DaemonFC[m]

Many dentists seem to recommend electric toothbrushes.

schestowitz

brb coffee

DaemonFC[m]

But there's usually an Oral-B sitting on the receptionist desk.

DaemonFC[m]

Kickbacks, perhaps.

DaemonFC[m]

I notice that when you go for a cleaning, sometimes there's a coupon for an Oral-B in the bag they send you home with.

Mar 09 05:02

DaemonFC[m]

No, don't know what my pulse was.

schestowitz

my pulse right now is about 60, as I sit and rest

DaemonFC[m]

Forehead temperature was 95.6 degrees F, but that's normal for me.

schestowitz

if something infuriates me, it'll go up

schestowitz

since when do dentists check blood pressure (unless a major procedure)?

DaemonFC[m]

They were students.

DaemonFC[m]

I don't know. I'll ask next time.

DaemonFC[m]

They're not done with me yet.

DaemonFC[m]

They spend longer on each quadrant of your mouth than the dentist's office, which charges 15 times as much does, on the entire thing.

DaemonFC[m]

<techrights-bot "Extremist #TomCotton Blasts Reli"> If the prisoner filed a tax return, why wouldn't they get a stimulus payment?

Mar 09 17:34

DaemonFC[m]

The IRS taxes wages earned during employment in prison.

Mar 09 17:34

DaemonFC[m]

My cousin's husband did two years in an Indiana state prison.

Mar 09 17:35

DaemonFC[m]

He ended up getting bored and doing a job for minimum wage and he had to file taxes.

Mar 09 17:35

DaemonFC[m]

It's not just boredom that causes prisoners to take work. It's that it may even get them out of the prison for a while each day.

Mar 09 17:36

DaemonFC[m]

Prison (as in state prison) is a pretty extreme sanction.

Mar 09 17:36

DaemonFC[m]

Marjorie Taylor Green (the QAnon Witch in Congress) was screaming that Biden was "letting prisoners vote", but that's misleading.

Mar 09 17:37

DaemonFC[m]

Whether a prisoner can vote or not depends on state law.

Mar 09 17:37

DaemonFC[m]

Illinois allows misdemeanor convicts in county jails to vote.

Mar 09 17:37

DaemonFC[m]

They made it very hard for me to register to vote, both times. In Lake County, Illinois, and I wasn't even in jail.

Mar 09 17:38

DaemonFC[m]

I was on probation when I registered the first time.

Mar 09 17:38

DaemonFC[m]

They kept claiming that I didn't live at the address I put down, so I went to the county clerk and showed them my driver's license and said "Well where did I get this, then? Huh? Where did I get this? They don't give you a driver's license unless you're getting mail there.".

Mar 09 17:39

DaemonFC[m]

Then when I changed my registration (after voting in the presidential election last year), I got a confirmation, and the county clerk never processed it.

Mar 09 17:40

DaemonFC[m]

So I had to do same day registration while voting in the Mayoral primary.

Mar 09 17:40

DaemonFC[m]

They're blaming the Coronavirus for everything now when they want to be incompetent.

Mar 09 17:41

DaemonFC[m]

MinceR probably has that going on in Hungaristan.

Mar 09 17:41

MinceR

indeed

Mar 09 17:41

MinceR

and they're implicitly blaming SARS-CoV-2 on foreigners

DaemonFC[m]

Last year, they actually let us vote on government consolidation. It passed. It may or may not have given me a semi.

DaemonFC[m]

The less government, the better.

Old_Man

MinceR, well, that's kind of technically true, by definition, though, isn't it? :D

DaemonFC[m]

Like Ron Swanson said. The best government would just be one guy in a room with a button deciding who gets nuked.

DaemonFC[m]

And that's all they let him do.

DaemonFC[m]

<MinceR "and they're implicitly blaming S"> They're doing that here too. All sorts of immigrants now too, even as it sweeps over their churches because they don't believe in masks or vaccines.

Mar 09 17:43

DaemonFC[m]

Oh they'll go somewhere alright, just not where they think they will. :)

Mar 09 17:43

MinceR

Old_Man: not really the point though

Mar 09 17:43

DaemonFC[m]

MinceR: I wanted to speed things up before Easter because we're guaranteed to get a flare up and we'll both be immune by the time that happens.

Mar 09 17:44

MinceR

Old_Man: and doesn't justify any of their policies

Mar 09 17:44

DaemonFC[m]

MinceR: Mom said I was low risk and why was I getting a vaccine. I said, "Well part of it is that it's not all about me. I could be walking around asymptomatic killing people, you know, if I get infected. That's not terrific either.".

Mar 09 17:45

DaemonFC[m]

She keeps talking about nursing homes moving to oust people who won't get a vaccine. I said, "Good. They get their choice. They get the vaccine and keep their job and don't kill someone's grandfather, or they go find a job somewhere else.".

Mar 09 17:46

MinceR

09 184239 < DaemonFC[m]> Like Ron Swanson said. The best government would just be one guy in a room with a button deciding who gets nuked.

Mar 09 17:46

MinceR

the best government would be no government at all, and no megacorporations and no cults

Mar 09 17:46

DaemonFC[m]

She finally let me schedule an appointment for her in Indiana because there's some of that shit going on where she works where she thinks they're out to get her and I said "Well, the facility pretends you can refuse the vaccine but they'll show you to the door over something else. The KGB always said give us the man and we'll make the case. You follow anyone around long enough, they're doing something....".

Mar 09 17:47

Old_Man

There's an old saw about "your right to swing your fist ends at the end of someone else's nose." That's still true even in a pandemic, but people need to realize that "spreading disease to others" constitutes "swinging their fist."

Mar 09 17:48

DaemonFC[m]

So she's getting the Johnson & Johnson one. I'd have done that had I known what I was in for with the second Pfizer dose I have coming up.

Mar 09 17:48

Old_Man

It's fine to *not* get a vaccine if you live in an isolated compound, and get all your food delivered, for example.

Mar 09 17:48

DaemonFC[m]

But too late now. You don't get to mix and match. Nobody knows what that would do.

Mar 09 17:49

Old_Man

But if you are going to be exhaling droplets in a supermarket, that constitutes "swinging a fist" and suddenly your rights end at being able to infect others.

Mar 09 17:49

DaemonFC[m]

And it's possible that it does as good as a double Pfizer series but gives you reactions like the second Pfizer shot would have.

Mar 09 17:49

DaemonFC[m]

The Johnson and Johnson shot probably will have less jarring side effects for the same reason the first dose of an mRNA vaccine doesn't have bad ones.

Mar 09 17:50

DaemonFC[m]

Assuming you haven't been infected with COVID, your body has no idea what the spike protein is.

Mar 09 17:51

Old_Man

The J&J vaccine press is misleading. Some news articles are reporting 75-85% "effective," but you have to read past the headlines to find that it's effective against "severe cases." But it's only 66% effective against the virus as a whole... which means a larger number of people can get it, and spread it, even after they have the vaccine.

Mar 09 17:51

Old_Man

It may protect against death, but doesn't protect as well against spreading to someone else who may experience death.

Mar 09 17:51

DaemonFC[m]

True, but we can actually get people vaccinated faster.

Mar 09 17:52

Old_Man

Yep, and every little bit helps, so that's good... but I wish they'd be more clear in their communication about that.

Mar 09 17:52

DaemonFC[m]

So it's better for the whole than leaving lots of people with nothing.

Mar 09 17:52

DaemonFC[m]

<Old_Man "It may protect against death, bu"> Well, death and severe disease are the main thing we're trying to head off.

DaemonFC[m]

If it's just an annoying cold when you get it later then so what?

DaemonFC[m]

It was guaranteed to become endemic anyway so we get there with less carnage.

Old_Man

Not me. My goal is to get enough people innoculated that herd immunity will protect those who might be allergic or can't get the vaccine for other reasons.

Old_Man

So my goal is to halt the spread, like we had done so well with measles and polio.

https://full.pr0gramm.com/2021/02/28/4029327f26287942.jpg

DaemonFC[m]

The good news here is that COVID is nowhere near as contagious as Measles.

Mar 09 17:54

DaemonFC[m]

If it was, it would be game over. Nearly 100% infected a few months ago.

Mar 09 17:54

DaemonFC[m]

The disease itself is rather slow burn. The goal is that the body recognizes it and builds up antibodies before the virus has managed to do any serious harm.

Mar 09 17:55

DaemonFC[m]

People are still going yeah so what about COVID when many people in their 20s have the lungs of a 50 year old that's been smoking when it's done with them.

<MinceR "thanks to the wonders of the hoa"> It's not illegal to say that you'll probably end up complying with any court orders that come up for user data and to not store any compromising material. Be mindful of what you put there.

mjg59

Keeping all your data locally is better in the sense that a court can't order Google to hand it over, but worse in the sense that a court can allow the police to break down your door and take your computers

MinceR

DaemonFC[m]: maybe if you put it up in advance

MinceR

but it's probably a good idea to use a warrant canary, if those are still allowed to work, that is

DaemonFC[m]

Yeah, before you create an account. Everyone gets the same warning.

DaemonFC[m]

<mjg59 "Keeping all your data locally is"> Where it might actually be encrypted with a scheme that you control.

mjg59

The only way to guarantee compromising data doesn't end up in the hands of other people is to have no compromising data in the first place

DaemonFC[m]

That's better for you.

What are you defining as a "back door" here?

schestowitz

back door access by authorities

schestowitz

technically: back doors

mjg59

To your phone?

DaemonFC[m]

If you do have evidence that is crucial to the state and they can't get at it, just refuse to give them the means to decrypt it.

schestowitz

MinceR: The security boundaries are well defined - you can verify which data is available to Play Services, even if you can't verify Play Services itself

DaemonFC[m]

They could definitely afford to. NASA even has some Fedora systems around.

schestowitz

schestowitz

mjg59

MinceR: The code you would need to audit to determine whether there's a back door is open source

DaemonFC[m]

Fake security like "secure boot" and "sandboxing" detracts from real security.

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-blog.ipfire.org - Security Announcement: Mitigating NAT Slipstreaming

DaemonFC[m]

If you write malware for the RHEL kernel it's more likely to keep working than in a distribution like Fedora.

mjg59

DaemonFC[m]: It's a huge attack target because it's run in large server environments that hold interesting data

mjg59

Fedora, well, isn't

If there are no guarantees to userspace about what the driver ABI will be like, it would make it impossible for malware writers to plan for it, and very hard to keep up.

MinceR

but yeah, i know, if you rewrote it in rust, you could also depend on beloved microshit for it

DaemonFC[m]

Because most of the driver works in userspace, right?

mjg59

So the stable ABI aspect of RHEL really isn't what helps there

mjg59

It only covers a relatively small subset of the kernel

mjg59

And it definitely doesn't cover stuff that isn't explicitly exported

DaemonFC[m]

Then what makes it such a valuable target where the government malware keeps saying it's only for RHEL and won't work anywhere else?

mjg59

Because it's what people run their servers on

mjg59

And this malware isn't usually used to target client systems

Mar 09 19:41

Old_Man

That's too bad. It's very much about decentralization and letting people choose their own paths to success, by not imposing barriers to entry.

Old_Man

For example, getting rid of educational hegemonies and encouraging greater individualization and customization in education.

DaemonFC[m]

China isn't afraid of our military. We're borrowing money from them to pay for it.

This lockdown is getting very close to its due date.

schestowitz

yesterday you said something strange

schestowitz

you said,

schestowitz

lowest number for a Mondsy

schestowitz

Since 6 months ago

schestowitz

but... how many people in the US even got a jab or "second jab"?

DaemonFC[m]

Yeah, the number of new cases started to collapse in January.

schestowitz

if anything, that would disprove what you had said

Old_Man

We're over 10% of the population that's received the second jab, in my state.

schestowitz

in January barely anyone had been injected with anything

Old_Man

And that's over the near-8% who've contracted COVID-19.

Old_Man

Over 18% has received the first shot.

schestowitz

so it's too early to say much about its effect, imho

DaemonFC[m]

About 19% of the state population has gotten at least one dose so far.

schestowitz

in fact, if you say 90% got it and then the numbers aren't so great, then you start wondering why it keeps passing around

DaemonFC[m]

9.21% fully vaccinated.

schestowitz

how many in January?

schestowitz

2%?

schestowitz

"Fully" by standard of a vendor

DaemonFC[m]

Well, state said it was basically done with nursing home patients and healthcare people late January.

DaemonFC[m]

Those were the people at the highest risk of dying or severe case, and therefore most likely to test positive.

schestowitz

it should be more than a tickbox or box-ticking exercise

Old_Man

They *did* test the Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines against a control group, by the way.

Old_Man

That was on purpose. They actually tested them.

schestowitz

even if everyone got some jab, that alone does not mean "virus extinct"

DaemonFC[m]

No, we're trying to turn it into a cold. Not a plague.

DaemonFC[m]

Also, slow it down.

schestowitz

many vulnerable people died already

DaemonFC[m]

People with mild or asymptomatic cases are unlikely to get tested.

schestowitz

US has 3rd highest number of infection per capita

Old_Man

I'm personally hoping for "herd immunity" to stop the spread of the disease to people who aren't eligible for the vaccine, due to allergies.

schestowitz

given who was tested

schestowitz

obv. some countries test more than others

DaemonFC[m]

So it stands to reason if they've already vaccinated most of the high risk groups, then we'd see an outsized amount of drop off in new cases.

schestowitz

the goal is to lower number of hospitalisations, too

Old_Man

In my state, the "high risk groups" were at high risk of *death*, so we would expect to see a drop in the rate of *deaths*.

Old_Man

And indeed, we have seen the death rate go down considerably in the past month.

schestowitz

true

DaemonFC[m]

In other words, if 15% of infected people account for 66% of new cases because they were severe enough to go seek medical attention, then your caseload drops far beyond the percentage vaccinated.

schestowitz

some just die

schestowitz

and cannot die again

DaemonFC[m]

That's just spitballing it, but the concept, I mean.

schestowitz

consider the ages of the dead

DaemonFC[m]

True, and a lot of the people who were likely to die already died.

schestowitz

here at least, probably similar in US

DaemonFC[m]

Before we had anything to head it off.

schestowitz

iirc, median age might be 70+

schestowitz

and just maybe a few hundred young people

Old_Man

4 weeks ago, we had 13.3 deaths per day.

DaemonFC[m]

And there's at least 30-80 million people who have had the disease. Therefore, either dead or have resistance to it now.

Old_Man

3 weeks ago, we had 10.4 deaths per day.

Old_Man

2 weeks ago, we had 8.3 deaths per day.

Old_Man

1 week ago, we had 5.9 deaths per day.

Old_Man

And we're starting this week even lower than that.

DaemonFC[m]

MinceR: Resistance is not futile.

DaemonFC[m]

DaemonFC[m]

I think they should start talking in terms of resistance, not immunity.

schestowitz

Old_Man: because the virus is afraid of Democrats

DaemonFC[m]

Immunity, to a lay person, means "absolutely cannot get infected".

schestowitz

It stopped attacking after inauguration day

MinceR

schestowitz: not dogs?

MinceR

someone should have told orban

DaemonFC[m]

"Level of resistance" would denote that you can get infected, but it will be far less severe if you do.

Old_Man

Actually, the case rate has gone up:

schestowitz

bbiab

Old_Man

3 weeks ago, 975.6 new cases per day

Old_Man

2 weeks ago, 1092.9 new cases per day

DaemonFC[m]

MinceR: I will not be assimilated.

Old_Man

1 week ago, 1185.7 new cases per day

Old_Man

This week, the case rate looks like it might start back on a downward trend again... but I don't know if that's due to a weekend reporting slump.

DaemonFC[m]

Star Trek Enterprise was pretty mediocre. Probably the weakest of the shows.

DaemonFC[m]

But of course when the ratings plummeted, they'd step it up a bit.

DaemonFC[m]

Then they did a Borg two-part episode.

DaemonFC[m]

Phlox had a better immune system than many species that the Borg attempted to assimilate.

Mar 09 19:58

DaemonFC[m]

So he was able to maintain control over himself for hours after being injected with the nanobots, and to withstand higher amounts of ionizing radiation than a human, which ended up frying them without killing himself.

Mar 09 19:58

DaemonFC[m]

So that's actually an excellent example of "resistance" vs. "immunity".

Mar 09 19:59

DaemonFC[m]

Oh they would have converted him into a Borg drone sooner or later, because they're Borg tech. They come across a hard problem to solve and they keep trying new stuff until something works.

It's technologically similar to the Pfizer shot, but the Pfizer shot has less mRNA, apparently, in each dose.

So people aren't reacting to that as much as far as side effects.
