DaemonFC

The Senate is saying they won't pass the Russian sanctions bill the House passed unless the mandate to get Russia out of the WTO is put back in.

Mar 11 00:02

DaemonFC

I don't know how the WTO works exactly but I think we should do whatever we can to get Russia booted out of it.

Mar 11 00:02

DaemonFC

They deserve nothing after this. Absolutely nothing.

Mar 11 00:03

DaemonFC

They deserve to have Putin go explain himself about how their standard of living has been halved overnight so he can get thousands of Russians killed claiming the "Donestk People's Republic".

Mar 11 00:04

psydroid8

whenever you look at Moronix now it's all Intel, AMD and Microsoft

Mar 11 00:04

DaemonFC

I think that Russia should only qualify to have any sanctions lifted once three things have happened.

psydroid8: they did directx yesterday

DaemonFC

It's military is gone from Ukraine, entirely. Putin is gone and free elections have happened inside Russia. Russia agrees to pay reparations to Ukraine for the destruction of property, the deaths, and the pain and suffering.

DaemonFC

*Its

DaemonFC

Obviously, that's not all going to happen soon and some of it may never happen.

schestowitz-TR2

same as USA

schestowitz-TR2

in any nation that it destroyed

DaemonFC

Obviously, no amount of money will compensate for lives taken.

DaemonFC

But I think they ought to have to pay something.

psydroid8

I think DaemonFC was referring to MorphOS when talking about a PowerPC-specific OS

psydroid8

which is indeed curious

DaemonFC

The countries that have managed to freeze Russian assets should liquidate them and pay the proceeds to Ukraine as soon as they can.

psydroid8

why would you keep it PPC-only?

psydroid8

because IBM says so?

DaemonFC

MorphOS could have a HAL that allows it to be easily ported to x86 or most anything really.

Mar 11 00:08

DaemonFC

If you abstract everything you just end up writing a porting layer behind that and you don't need to screw around with the generic bits too much.

Mar 11 00:08

schestowitz-TR2

but who do you think is fascinated by this OS?

Mar 11 00:09

schestowitz-TR2

and would install it...

Mar 11 00:09

DaemonFC

I don't know. I just think it's a lousy idea to tie anything to one CPU architecture.

I'm hearing from more and more people who quit Twitter and Facebook. Excellent! It's easier than these companies lead you to believe...

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR2, One of the "benefits" of Walmart+ (which costs $98 a year) is "scan and go", but you scan the items with your phone and then go show a self-checkout register your phone. This is fucking retarded.

schestowitz-TR2

DaemonFC: marisol cannot fling emoji plates over FB

DaemonFC

So I can pay $98 to scan with my phone and I still have to go bag everything and pay for it at a self-checkout?

DaemonFC

This saves no time at all.

schestowitz-TR2

lol, yes

schestowitz-TR2

and if you make an error, it's all on you

DaemonFC

While the police are busy dogpiling on you and pepper spray you in the eyes.

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR2

same with bank

schestowitz-TR2

better to go there physically sometimes

DaemonFC

Don't forget that. That's one of the benefits of Walmart+ too.

schestowitz-TR2

banks: "IT"S EASIER ONLINE"

schestowitz-TR2

Easier for WHO?

DaemonFC

Banks: It's easier with an app. Also, the app: "Here's 30 tracking libraries and a weird error message from the server mentioning something about JAVA exceptions."

DaemonFC

Also the bank: *Fires everyone.*

DaemonFC

Based.

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

well, here's the thing

schestowitz-TR2

the people they fired

schestowitz-TR2

probably do not know how to us "the APP" either

schestowitz-TR2

but they knew hos to get these things done very quickly and accurately on their bank terminals

schestowitz-TR2

so maybe rehire them

schestowitz-TR2

some for checkout workrs at shops

schestowitz-TR2

they know the UI very well and have very good equipment

schestowitz-TR2

none of that "put one coin at a time" :-)

schestowitz-TR2

DaemonFC: next up, self-service flights

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2, Some teller at the bank told me it's easier to deposit a check with an app.

DaemonFC

I says to the guy, I says....

schestowitz-TR2

yeah, right

schestowitz-TR2

1) you did it many times before

schestowitz-TR2

2) it all works pefectly

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR2, There's obviously another mortgage crisis out there right now.

DaemonFC

Banks have quietly seized up on lending in various ways.

schestowitz-TR2

later this year it'll implode again

DaemonFC

Including lowering everyone's credit score even though the factors didn't change.

Almost everyone I talk to says their credit score went down between 20-40 points recently even though they pay their bills.

*bnchs has quit (connection closed)

schestowitz-TR2

we're being overrun again

DaemonFC

schestowitz, This makes less people qualify for a mortgage.

DaemonFC

But they don't have to say this is what they do.

DaemonFC

They sneak the credit scores down even if nothing changes about you. Even if your "factors" improve a bit.

Mar 11 00:34

DaemonFC

They change the rules depending on how much they feel like lending money in the macroeconomic picture.

Mar 11 00:34

DaemonFC

Not everything is about you. :)

Mar 11 00:34

DaemonFC

Most of your FICO score is you, but they change risk parameters behind the scenes and don't explain exactly their rationale. It's a cartel. The government allows it. Why explain anything to you?

DaemonFC

It's a software program they sell to the banks.

DaemonFC

Before the late 1980s almost none of the banks used it.

techrights-news

175126 page requests in gemini capsule of techrights in past 10 days. That's 17,5k a day. Over gemini:// alone. This isn't a niche anymore.

DaemonFC

Since they adopted it, we've had several major recessions including the first and third worst in American history.

DaemonFC

So obviously they're getting a lot for their money with the software.

DaemonFC

They used to just charge ignorant (and mostly black, if we're speaking honestly) people 1500% interest on a $500 loan until it charged off.

schestowitz-TR2

DaemonFC: there is a name for such companies

schestowitz-TR2

"bullishit jobs"

schestowitz-TR2

it does not refer to apple cofounder

DaemonFC

Then it doesn't matter if they pay it back because you can sell the rights to collect for $2,500 to a collection agency.

psydroid8

there is a huge economy based on "bullshit jobs"

DaemonFC

Yeah, they didn't care if you paid it back. So they'd give a loan to anyone.

schestowitz-TR2

we have autoimation

schestowitz-TR2

but the salaries have no increases

DaemonFC

It's basically a loan shark operation.

schestowitz-TR2

so the surplus is filled up with BS

DaemonFC

When the state capped maximum interest at 36%, those stores started closing down.

schestowitz-TR2

*not increased

DaemonFC

The model of floating a $500 loan to someone at 36% without caring about whether they pay it back doesn't work as well.

DaemonFC

So they choose their victims more carefully.

psydroid8

imagine a future in which there will only be jobs for 10% of the working population

schestowitz-TR2

they target the mopst desperate

schestowitz-TR2

like people wishing not to be evicated

Mar 11 00:47

DaemonFC

You're in bankruptcy court over the payday loans, or the medical bills, or the credit cards, or whatever, most likely because they saw a guy making minimum wage and bogged him down with debt, and there's no way out of minimum wage for most people so now your bank is rupted.

schestowitz

they genetically 'engineer' these pigs

Most people EAT pigs that died so that the energy they give from eating them keeps them alive for a day or so.

DaemonFC

You run off the pork chops for another day and then you need more food.

DaemonFC

It’s clear to me that everyone pays higher prices for groceries to subsidize this Walmart+ thing. Aldi hasn’t raised prices this much, and I’ll bet you it’s because they don’t run their own pickup and delivery. They outsource it to Instacart. If the customer wants delivery or pickup from Aldi, it’s higher prices than the shelf.

DaemonFC

But with Walmart, they charge the same price to everyone, and there’s no way $98 a year is the full cost of a customer clicking “Now I want ice cream.”. “Now I want one package of underwear.” “Now I want exactly one bottle of rum.”. And each time, a person has to show up with it. “For Free……”"

"Unofficially, there’s been a “gay month” at Disney World for years, and they’ve never balked at taking the money. Disney also had absolutely nothing to say about the anti-gay bill that passed in Florida this month that has schools out kids to homophobic parents who very well might kill them or put them on the street.

DaemonFC

I can still remember my aunt talking with my mother about how “grossed out” she was that there were men showing affection for each other at Disney World in the 90s “in front of the children”.

DaemonFC

When I was a child, I also remember my mother talking about gay men, in the middle of a Taco Bell. I was sitting there, all of about seven, eating a bean burrito, listening to her tell me that all gay men are pedophiles and that’s why Adam Walsh was abducted.

DaemonFC

Maybe they were both just regurgitating bullshit that they heard somewhere, but I kind of doubt that a fully grown woman honestly thinks this.

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-politicalwire.com | How Goldman Sachs Profits from War In Ukraine

DaemonFC

“Goldman Sachs, the giant New York investment bank, is cashing in on the war in Ukraine by selling Russian debt to U.S. hedge funds — and using a legal loophole in the Biden administration’s sanctions to do it,” NBC News reports.

DaemonFC

“As the Western world scrambles to defend Ukraine by locking down Russian money, the company is acting as a broker between Moscow’s creditors and U.S. investors, pitching clients on the opportunity to take advantage of Russia’s war-crippled economy by buying its debt securities low now and selling them high later.”

DaemonFC

The problem is that their creditors are dumping it because it's worthless and they know it will go down further still.

Mar 11 03:28

DaemonFC

And Goldman is giving their hedge fund clients bad advice and packaging bad debt that will get worse, and charging commissions on that.

Mar 11 03:28

DaemonFC

It's not like the Russian economy is going to be roaring back when this is all over.

Mar 11 03:28

DaemonFC

We're talking at least a decade with no real growth potential at all.

DaemonFC

And nobody knows how long you won't actually be able to sell these "assets"....just transfer them to someone else who becomes "encumbered" by them due to the sanctions.

DaemonFC

This is surreal.

DaemonFC

I'm smart enough to know this. Why are hedge funds buying it?

MinceR

probably because other people pay for their losses

DaemonFC

Stuff stuff stuff it into your retirement plan.

DaemonFC

"This is Grade A stuff, I promise!"

MinceR

that's one way

DaemonFC

"Not regulated by FINRA. No insurance from the FDIC. Investments may lose their entire value. Some conditions apply. See store for details."

Mar 11 03:31

DaemonFC

This is exactly why I don't do bond funds.

DaemonFC

We have some S&P 500 stuff, but Russia wasn't a major source of income for any of them, so the market is kind of shrugging it off.

She didn't say why she didn't back it, but even if we assume it was over the provision to try to get Russia booted out of the WTO being dropped, the Senate is going to put that back in, and then it goes to a joint committee where it's most likely going to be kept.

DaemonFC

I mean, I leave most of the store outside the grocery area untouched.

matey

i dont know how i can prove im not-- google sucks, self-driving cars suck, mg is kind of a douche but i dont think his lawyers can get me for that one

matey

have you seen the stream filters? i think they disappeared and no one mentioned it

DaemonFC

Something happened and he's unmuted now.

matey

i think theyre brita. were.

DaemonFC

The stream filters were fast because they don't really filter anything.

DaemonFC

It was a trick.

matey

i figured but

matey

you cant get them now

DaemonFC

That's typical too. When a product flops, you get rid of it and leave anyone who invested in the system holding their dick.

DaemonFC

They've had the standard cartridges for a long time. Since at least the mid 90s, and they still work in those pitchers too. The dimensions haven't changed.

DaemonFC

They changed the cartridge to flow better, and got patents.

matey

neither has the fact that you only get half a pitcher of water

matey

which is irksome

matey

of course they make giant ones

Mar 11 07:21

matey

because who doesnt get a pitcher the size of a pitcher thats half full (lets be optimistic) and think "you know this would have as much water as a whole pitcher if it were the size of one of those gatorade dispensers"

matey

meanwhile if you put a standard cartridge on the sink, it works surprisingly quickly

DaemonFC

Self-drive wouldn't even be legal.

matey

you just have to put it back on after it flies off like something from a macgyver rerun

DaemonFC

Except they want to figure out how to fire millions of truck drivers and make them angry and unemployable.

Mar 11 07:23

matey

im surprised it doesnt have a warning label. tip for matt if hes looking for another frivolous lawsuit to file

Mar 11 07:23

DaemonFC

I've never (1) mistaken a pedestrian for a plastic bag (2) hit a parked police car or (3) thought it was okay to make rolling stops.

Mar 11 07:23

*GNUmoon2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

DaemonFC

But (1) was a self-drive Uber (2) was a Tesla and (3) was....Tesla again.

Ariadne

i find it funny that my cousin's honda has better autonomous driving features than tesla

Ariadne

it doesn't have full self-driving, but it doesn't get scared and deactivate itself every 10 minutes

matey

only because the tesla was stoned out of its silicon mind

DaemonFC

I coast to the lights and then accelerate without stopping when they turn green.

matey

"hey man, i could like, been a spaceship, but im a car..."

DaemonFC

I have all the lights in the city timed so I know exactly how to do it.

matey

"whoa! plastic bag! plastic bag!"

DaemonFC

My car is still coming up on 300,000 miles.

DaemonFC

It's getting there.

Ariadne

i like how the biden administration "fix" for the pedestrian issue is to make pedestrians wear beacons

matey

if only those miles were straight up, youd be ahead of elon

matey

the fix for the biden administration is for biden to wear one, thats where they got the idea

DaemonFC

<Ariadne> i like how the biden administration "fix" for the pedestrian issue is to make pedestrians wear beacons

Mar 11 07:27

DaemonFC

I think they should pass out NLAW systems and make it legal to use them when you see a Tesla coming.

Mar 11 07:27

Ariadne

yeah what's a javelin missile between friends

Mar 11 07:28

matey

/me keeps issuing self-destruct codes when walking by a tesla

Mar 11 07:29

matey

one of these days its going to work

Mar 11 07:29

DaemonFC

<Ariadne> yeah what's a javelin missile between friends

Mar 11 07:29

DaemonFC

Look at me! I drive a Tesla! I'm destroying the world a little tiny bit slower than you are!

Mar 11 07:30

DaemonFC

Electric vehicle suck.

Ariadne

my tesla died at 1,767 miles

Ariadne

lmfao

matey

whats the environmental argument for a tesla? it drives back to the dealer when the owner gets over themselves and realises owning one is silly?

Ariadne

tesla is like "we can't get you a replacement drive unit until september 2022 due to supply chain issues"

mjg59_

DaemonFC: Well, as long as you agree that freeways are associated with high exhaust polution, that's good

matey

"recycle me! i smell like driver"

DaemonFC

They cost a fortune, you can't service them anywhere but at the manufacturer, and if you own one in Chicago, enjoy getting half the rated mileage on a charge half the year because it got cold out.

DaemonFC

You'd never break even with a gasoline engine, even if gas got up to $6 a gallon.

Ariadne

it sits outside the local tesla store looking sad since january

matey

should work in germany then

DaemonFC

So of course like every fucking idiotic thing politicians in California do, they say that it's such a shitty idea, it's the law.

DaemonFC

It really should fall off into the ocean.

DaemonFC

Elon Musk is a parasite. He uses his second factory in Texas to get concessions from California taxpayers on the first one.

Mar 11 07:33

DaemonFC

None of the jobs there are union jobs.

Mar 11 07:33

DaemonFC

Even though he said he wouldn't interfere in a union election, his promises are as solid as Vladimir Putin's.

Mar 11 07:34

DaemonFC

Conservatives buy Teslas too. They know they're not good for the environment.

Mar 11 07:34

DaemonFC

You plug them into the grid, the coal or natural gas emits all kinds of shit into the air too.

Mar 11 07:34

matey

imagine the looks on peoples faces when musk ends the invasian of ukraine by promising to buy all of putins gas that the eu doesnt want

Mar 11 07:35

DaemonFC

Recovering the natural gas itself causes huge emissions of methane into the atmosphere which don't do anyone any good.

Mar 11 07:35

matey

which of course he will back out of at the last minute

Mar 11 07:35

DaemonFC

They're talking about shutting down a coal plant near where I live.

Mar 11 07:36

DaemonFC

Not that mjg59_ will care, but I'm white.

Mar 11 07:36

matey

start a website, thats how you make him care

DaemonFC

When they talk about the fucking thing it's always "Black people have to breathe that OMG! Black people of color!".

mjg59_

It turns out that I'm in favour of shutting down coal plants no matter what the demographics of the surrounding area!

DaemonFC

Why is it about race? Why isn't it "People have to breathe that shit!".

DaemonFC

"Why is this legal?"

mjg59_

Nobody should have to deal with that

Ariadne

honestly this channel is far more interesting when mjg59_ is not censored

mjg59_

Nobody should have had to deal with leaded petrol either

matey

mjg59_ as long as youre here, why did you feel it was necessary to stand outside a political prisoners window with a sign saying he wasnt a wiki?

Ariadne

i'm debating making a change to the ircd to make it impossible to censor anyone

Ariadne

free speech for all

DaemonFC

Right, but the "media" keeps acting as if white people don't breathe polluted air, or like we don't exist.

mjg59_

matey: Because fuck that guy

DaemonFC

Like we inflict it on others without suffering or something.

DaemonFC

All white people do this!

matey

sound logic if i ever heard it

mjg59_

Literally nobody's saying that

Ariadne

i mean, wikileaks

Ariadne

hasn't been a wiki

Ariadne

for years

DaemonFC

We have a dastardly plot to live in the giant sacrifice zone of SOUTHERN INDIANA!

Ariadne

it seems like a valid point

DaemonFC

With the four filthiest coal plants in America within 50 square miles of each other!

matey

i always thought the name was odd

mjg59_

Nobody should have to deal with the impact of pollution

mjg59_

In the US, Black communities have frequently disproportionately suffered from that

DaemonFC

I don't believe it.

mjg59_

That doesn't mean white people are any less deserving of remediation

DaemonFC

White people were disproportionately harmed by toxic levels of ethylene oxide and the coal plant here.

DaemonFC

There the fuck is NPR on that?

mjg59_

In that specific area, yeah

DaemonFC

I'll talk to them about it. Cancer clusters.

matey

/me likes to think theres enough pollution to everyone to share

Ariadne

it's black communities and poor white communities

mjg59_

Which tells you little about the national scale

DaemonFC

It took a decade to get Stericycle and Medline to put in filters for the ethylene oxide gas.

DaemonFC

They were just releasing it and not being punished, at all.

Ariadne

the reason they focus on the black aspect is because its a lot harder for blacks to get economic mobility

DaemonFC

I mean, a decade after the campaign started. They did it much longer than that.

DaemonFC

Nobody really knew.

Ariadne

sux for everyone tho

Then the remediation plan got held up because Governor Rauner owned a bunch of stock in Stericycle.

DaemonFC

And he told the state EPA to disregard it. And well, Trump was the president, so.

DaemonFC

Government fails us like it always does. To line the pockets of the governor.

DaemonFC

Killing thousands of people. Cover-ups.

mjg59_

So yeah there's actual evidence of this, it's not just something I'm making up!

DaemonFC

The thing is, until it stops being about race as if white people don't matter, you won't get white people to care.

Mar 11 07:44

DaemonFC

If anything, they'll see it as an attack.

Mar 11 07:44

mjg59_

Saying "The facts indicate that Black communities are disproportionately affected by pollution" isn't about race

Mar 11 07:44

DaemonFC

The way it comes across is that some lives matter more than others.

Mar 11 07:45

DaemonFC

The same way leftists turned "all lives matter" into "racist".

Mar 11 07:45

mjg59_

The way it comes across is that through history, some people's lives have mattered *less*

Mar 11 07:45

mjg59_

And that's necessary to understand why things are the way they are now

DaemonFC

I don't think too many people would answer "yes" to that.

DaemonFC

It would take a psychopath to answer "yes" to that. And the anti-abortion movement is trying to save mostly black people.

DaemonFC

Because most of the murder victims of abortion are black.

DaemonFC

I think a majority of the left was actually proud of Kermit Gosnell if they heard of him.

Mar 11 07:47

matey

people trying to save people from abortions tend to result in more botched abortions

Mar 11 07:48

matey

the mother is more likely to die, but since they think shes a murderer it doesnt count the same...

Mar 11 07:48

mjg59_

DaemonFC: Do you accept that the science indicates that Black communities have suffered more from the effects of pollution?

Mar 11 07:48

DaemonFC

It might skew that way but it's a societal problem, and to frame it as if only one group suffers is an insult.

mjg59_

Nobody says that only one group suffers

mjg59_

People are saying that some groups suffer more

DaemonFC

The easiest way to deal with it is the fairest way to deal with it.

matey

daemonfc: im working on an article about how people from newsweek are coming to irc to make it off-topic, care to check for typos?

DaemonFC

You come up with a comprehensive plan to retire the oldest and filthiest generating plants first.

matey

/me remembers newsweek

DaemonFC

And then take out the rest in waves as you can replace the capacity.

DaemonFC

Usually, the smaller ones don't operate as efficiently, and closing down a given capacity in smaller plants produces a larger cumulative effect in pollution reduction.

Mar 11 07:51

DaemonFC

Another problem we have is that the state taxes people, and gives the money to the electric company, which keeps power rates down.

mjg59_

matey: The long answer to your earlier question - he's a rapist who has harassed several people I care about and who repeatedly misgendered my partner

mjg59_

So, fuck that guy

mjg59_

He's not a good person

DaemonFC

So nobody thinks anything of wasting power because it's on their tax bill not their power bill.

DaemonFC

So again, the state fucks us.

DaemonFC

When nobody pays what something costs, nobody cares if they waste it.

Mar 11 07:53

DaemonFC

WHen gas was $1.50 a gallon in 2020, I didn't even really care where we went.

Mar 11 07:53

DaemonFC

A whole tank of gas? Pfft. <$30

Mar 11 07:54

DaemonFC

It's fundamentally the same with any resource.

Mar 11 07:54

DaemonFC

If the government stops subsidizing milk, it'll be $7 a gallon.

Mar 11 07:54

DaemonFC

If they stop subsidizing corn, the junk food industry stops figuring out ways to make sugar out of it, and you have fewer diabetics.

matey

mjg59_ okay, if youre actually dating someone who he treated like shit, i guess its not sociopathic to mock him when hes hiding in an embassy

DaemonFC

You charge people on Medicaid to go to the ER, they stop doing that as primary care.

matey

and stallman? (just out of curiosity)

DaemonFC

I've been emailing Stallman off and on about the IRS.

mjg59_

Stallman overruled the FSF staff when Eben Moglen threatened someone at Libreplanet

DaemonFC

The government just gave it more money with no real plan to reform it.

ive literally never heard this

It's a monster and a vicious bully that picks on poor people for tax audits and manages to collect $1 trillion a year less than existing tax law says it should.

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@mjg59: At Libreplanet in 2017, Eben Moglen threatened another attendee. This was witnessed by FSF staff. RMS said he would… https://t.co/SSjvzC4pms

DaemonFC

If existing tax law was applied to the rich, you'd reduce the deficit $1 trillion.

DaemonFC

Even with Trump's tax bill unchanged other than that.

mjg59_

You're probably not going to find anyone else at the meeting who's willing to go on the record to discuss that

mjg59_

But that was why I resigned from the board

Mar 11 07:58

DaemonFC

mjg59_, So we can agree that in most things, government creates the problem.

Mar 11 07:58

DaemonFC

Then some people think that the government will come in riding a magic pony and fix the mess it caused.

Mar 11 07:58

DaemonFC

Deliberately, in most cases.

Mar 11 07:59

DaemonFC

When you give the government more power, even if the current one wouldn't do anything bad at all with it, the next election can change everything, and then they have the same power.

matey

ok so moglen threatend to ruin someones career

matey

thats the sort of threat where details would be helpful

DaemonFC

It's better to amend the constitution to get the government out of markets and lives as much as possible.

DaemonFC

For every 1 positive thing it does, it hurts you in 9 other ways.

matey

like if he threatened to kill them, it wouldnt matter if he hit them with a brick or pushed them out a window

matey

its still a threat

mjg59_

matey: This was in retaliation for the FSF firing him for briefing against the FSF

DaemonFC

It wants to do as little as possible while making people think they need it.

DaemonFC

For the most part, it's an illusion.

matey

i didnt even know he was fired from the fsf

mjg59_

Well, "firing" - he was Pro Bono

mjg59_

But yes, he hasn't been the FSF's legal representation since 2016, I think?

DaemonFC

NPR ran a story about record alcoholism and domestic violence.

matey

and im guessing the person he threatened was deb

matey

but seriously this is a guess

DaemonFC

So obviously the government spending $7 trillion a year is fixing everything.

mjg59_

Nope, but not going to get into that

matey

fair enough

mjg59_

The person he threatened didn't want to go on the record

mjg59_

FSF staff witnessed it and were going to act independently, RMS ordered them not to

DaemonFC

It's convenient that you ask "who" and you say "no comment".

matey

i only assumed deb because shes the one person i can think of in a similar field of work as moglen

DaemonFC

If you can't be specific, don't make accusations.

matey

if the accusations are honest, its okay

DaemonFC

It just makes it look like you can't back that up.

mjg59_

I can back it up, I'm just not going to

mjg59_

Because it would mean involving someone who hasn't agreed to be involved

Mar 11 08:04

kingoffrance

sure, but thats why real law and real courts you face your accuser

Mar 11 08:04

DaemonFC

Stallman is an odd guy in certain ways. Unfortunately, I think the worst part about the guy is toxic leftist politics.

DaemonFC

You'd think you'd get along famously.

mjg59_

Makes complete sense when you're the state and have the ability to impose arbitrarily harsh consequences on people

matey

im inclined to believe matt about this story for the moment until i have a reason not to

mjg59_

I'm not the state and have no such power

matey

you think hes an authoritarian, dfc

DaemonFC

He wants to turn the United States into some socialist hell pit where we roast zoo animals in Grant Park over trash cans.

DaemonFC

Not like Lightfoot isn't trying her best, but....

matey

dfc: the usa is headed for being a capitalist hell pit just like that

DaemonFC

It's very difficult to get along with extremists.

*psydroid8 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

mjg59_

If I'm lying then Eben could just sue me

matey

stallmans political solution is to try to the find the sweet spot left of centre until 1000 years from now, we have political progress. good luck to him.

mjg59_

Even under California's anti-SLAPP laws I'd be fucked

DaemonFC

Well, getting overwhelmed with welfare and spending programs is pretty much the death of a country.

matey

dfc: they shouldnt be taxing the poor to death, we agree on that

DaemonFC

Eventually, you get.....high inflation and then everyone ends up poor and....needing welfare.

matey

inflation kills everything else

DaemonFC

Eventually, producers don't produce because it's impossible to predict how to price things.

DaemonFC

What do you do when things change so fast you can barely print a menu?

Mar 11 08:08

DaemonFC

SLAPP Back is pretty common now.

Mar 11 08:08

matey

moglen should have threatened to ruin stallmans career instead

matey

then it wouldnt be a threat, but a warning

DaemonFC

Stallman doesn't seem to consider himself in a career.

matey

he would be right then

kingoffrance

funny enough, i used to joke irc doesnt have juries then i saw that http://ircnow.org/ very patriot themed, have not used. no porn. at least they try to teach people unix i guess. they didnt like leenode either it looks like

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-ircnow.org | IRCNow

matey

one thing im foggy on is that the fsf got rid of moglen for briefing against the fsf

matey

but i would think conflict of interest makes that mandatory from moglens side anyway

mjg59_

The paper that Canonical published that said ZFS didn't violate the GPL?

DaemonFC

Dictatorships hardly ever plan for what happens when the dictator is gone.

mjg59_

He wrote that

matey

you cant brief against your own client

DaemonFC

I mean, power falls to somebody.

mjg59_

Despite the FSF position being that it did

DaemonFC

Lawyers don't know what they're doing always.

mjg59_

He wouldn't commit to not doing anything like that again, so we didn't think he could honestly represent the FSF

DaemonFC

I had five of them refuse a case one time and tell me I'd lose for sure and they wouldn't touch it.

matey

it seems like clear conflict of interest

DaemonFC

So I filed it myself and won.

and i say that as a moglen fan

mjg59_ were you at the fsf (in any capacity, volunteer even ) as far back as 2011?

Mar 11 08:21

mjg59_

matey: No - I attended Libreplanet then, but had no official association with the FSF until 2015 I think?

matey

i was just wondering. stallman made a change to his website around that time

mjg59_

I had several friends who worked for the FSF

matey

about the fsdg

matey

chances are you werent familiar with it but if you were there that far back id ask

mjg59_

Ah, I did spend some time talking to Stallman about a couple of topics

matey

basically the change was

matey

that he would no longer judge any distribution on any criteria except what was already in the fsdg

mjg59_

Hmm. Nope, I don't think I was involved in that at all

matey

oh no i didnt suspect you were involved

matey

id ask anybody who had various things to say about the fsf

matey

i doubt ill ever meet a person who knows what brought that change

mjg59_

Yeah, afraid I don't think I can help you there

matey

it was a long shot

mjg59_

Have you tried asking him?

mjg59_

He's pretty good at replying to mail if you wait long enough

matey

ive had mixed results with that

he used to be very good at it

matey

so the problem was that his professional opininon was different than fsf opinion?

mjg59_

Yeah

mjg59_

Which is fine, but not compatible with him representing the fsf

matey

sure

matey

no i mean its like this

matey

suppose i am looking for a divorce lawyer

matey

and their opinion is i should get nothing and be deported to haiti or something

mjg59_

So the fsf decided having a general counsel who publicly disagreed with fsf positions wasn't good, so found alternative counsel

matey

i mean they can have that opinion as a lawyer

matey

but im not going to use them.

mjg59_

And that should have been the end of it, Eben was still welcome at fsf events

matey

right

mjg59_

But then he turned up at Libreplanet and, well

Mar 11 08:36

matey

i mean the alternative is that the lawyer chooses the client, and that-- would be weird and unlike how anything really works

Mar 11 08:36

matey

"hi im your lawyer" "but, um, no..."

Mar 11 08:36

matey

no it makes sense

the fsf decided having a general counsel who publicly disagreed with fsf positions wasn't good <- this seems perfectly reasonable

im not saying it wont happen, just that its very silly to get the noisemakers out yet

matey

maybe even pointless

schestowitz-TR2

many projects were there before Microsoft

schestowitz-TR2

also afaik microsoft loses money on this

schestowitz-TR2

the plan is to turn it into a sales thing somewhere else

schestowitz-TR2

like azure

matey

including the ones that moved there after 2018?

matey

im just talking about the projects moving there vs the ones leaving

schestowitz-TR2

but if they push too hard, projects will flee so it's a delicate dance

schestowitz-TR2

the media only counts what's there

bnchs__

schestowitz-TR2, they won't be able to move, if they lock up certain files

*bnchs has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

schestowitz-TR2

which gives an illsion

bnchs__

such as LFS files

schestowitz-TR2

they don't count millions of git projects that aren't even public

bnchs__

you can't clone LFS files unless the owner pays

schestowitz-TR2

maybe firewalled

matey

the best approach is to probably start with software that is listed by the fsf, or even debian

matey

and assume people actually use that

matey

and then use that to see the direction this is really going in

matey

you can hardly trust github to be a measure of how much is flowing to github

I love how the IRS never charges them with tax evasion when they were convicted of selling drugs and stolen cars in state court.

DaemonFC

You still owe taxes on the proceeds of criminal activities.

DaemonFC

The IRS says you pay taxes on stolen property unless you return it to the rightful owner within the same tax year.

DaemonFC

Says that in the 1040 instructions.

iphonix

wouldnt that make them legal?

DaemonFC

No, it's still a crime.

DaemonFC

But it's another crime (federal) not to pay taxes on the crime.

iphonix

if you pay the tax becomes legal

DaemonFC

No, it does not become legal.

DaemonFC

But you don't actually have to tell them where you got the money.

Mar 11 20:08

You can put it all down as self-employment income and pay taxes on it that way.

Mar 11 20:08

DaemonFC

Since they can charge you with federal tax evasion AND failure to file a return for each year you declare no income, and they can go back six years, you potentially face 12 felonies when they catch you, on top of whatever the underlying crime was that made you the income.

DaemonFC

And the state can charge tax evasion of their own as well. :)

what does Steam Deck run? Steam OS?

SomeH4x0r

Proton-ported Windows games?

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

let me clarify

MinceR

probably steam os

schestowitz-TR2

yes

schestowitz-TR2

but that's just arch linus

schestowitz-TR2

*nix

schestowitz-TR2

with application level DRM

schestowitz-TR2

for the steam store thing

schestowitz-TR2

it runs with KDE

schestowitz-TR2

and has some sort of desktop mode

schestowitz-TR2

this means some buyers can get introduced to the OS

schestowitz-TR2

they might even install it on another machine later

schestowitz-TR2

what's fascinating about it,

schestowitz-TR2

many game developers finally get around to testing with or porting to gnu/linux

schestowitz-TR2

because they view those handheld DRM machines as potential business/sales

SomeH4x0r

so is Steam Deck just some kind of PC with the weird OS pre-installed?

schestowitz-TR2

yes

schestowitz-TR2

and Microsofty hates it

schestowitz-TR2

and attempts to undermine iot

<iphonix> wtf is dtos?

schestowitz-TR2

iphonix: ego project

XFaCE

DistroTube's script set for his configs

XFaCE

schestowitz-TR2: wow that's a pointlessly ungenerous interpretation

DaemonFC

I think some people in Russia worry. Even the billionaires, only about their money.

DaemonFC

They have plenty, they'll always have plenty.

DaemonFC

They're still pissed about losing a fraction.

XFaCE

schestowitz-TR2: is TechRights an ego project by your measure?

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

dtos is a misnomber

schestowitz-TR2

it is not an OS

schestowitz-TR2

and it is about emualing some things

XFaCE

it's a tongue in cheek joke

schestowitz-TR2

yeah

XFaCE

But to label it as an ego project casts aspersions of narcissism for no reason

schestowitz

RMS: "When I do this, some people think that it's because I want my ego to be fed, right? Of course, I'm not asking you to call it "Stallmanix"!

XFaCE

schestowitz: his name isn't distrotube

schestowitz

it's derek taylor

schestowitz

schestowitz

so it's an OS called after him

XFaCE

yeah but the DT stands for distrotube

schestowitz

and not even an OS

XFaCE

so what?

schestowitz

making a script that's self-named is...

schestowitz

cyanogen mod

XFaCE

His channel is called DistroTube

schestowitz

yes, I know

XFaCE

DT refers to DistroTube

schestowitz

bit by coincidence his initals

XFaCE

yes

XFaCE

But why assume the worst intepretation?

schestowitz

zorin OS, iirc, also relates to a name

schestowitz

deb-ian

iphonix

if it was portube

schestowitz

linus/x

iphonix

porntube

schestowitz

PTOS

schestowitz

the OS that comes preloaded with porn downloaders

XFaCE

schestowitz: But why assume the worst interpretation?

schestowitz

ego I said

schestowitz

calling it after himself

schestowitz

he could call it something else

XFaCE

He named it after his channel

schestowitz

see the RMS quote

schestowitz

he named the channel after him

iphonix

lacking imagination?

XFaCE

no he named the channel distrotube after the concept of distros

schestowitz

ftr, he likes techrights

iphonix

linux/linux

XFaCE

you are assuming that he named it after himself because you are playing armchair psychologist

iphonix

linus/linux

schestowitz

schestowitz

it is a pattern

iphonix

i guess its a thing in linux

schestowitz

I look deeper than you into it

*SomeH4x0r has quit (Quit: I expect to be back tomorrow)

schestowitz

linus is a narcissist more than RMS ever was

XFaCE

schestowitz: yes, that literally what could be described as someone doing armchair psychology

XFaCE

Linus is also self-deprecating, see the Git joke

schestowitz

git is a short name

schestowitz

which is important in CLI

schestowitz

and was available

schestowitz

svn, cvs, git

schestowitz

saves typing

schestowitz

my assertion stands

schestowitz

my own interpretation

iphonix

also makes it hard to guess what is it

XFaCE

schestowitz: yes, names can have one or more reasons

XFaCE

that doesn't contradict anything I said

schestowitz

hey, i'm not the one pushing techrights merch

XFaCE

I didn't say you are?

schestowitz

techrights isn't even my name

schestowitz

tessier came up with the name

XFaCE

Ok? Do you want a cookie?

schestowitz

rms was then asked about it

schestowitz

so anyway, Dereke does have a big ego

XFaCE

You don't have to defend integrity that was not challenged

schestowitz

many people do

schestowitz

no matter colour, race, gender..

schestowitz

and it's OK to point that out

schestowitz

not a rude or snide remark

XFaCE

If you mean in general people who do youtube channels and other video sharing have strong sense of self, sure

schestowitz

and thick-skinned people wouldn't be too offended

XFaCE

Who exactly are you calling offended?

schestowitz

XFaCE: not always, but many yes

XFaCE

I'm not offended, if that's your implication

schestowitz

the narcissists are attracted to "insta" mopre

schestowitz

taking photos of themselves

schestowitz

then enhancing their selfies

XFaCE

Ok, Derek isn't that

schestowitz

because they need affirmation with "likes"

schestowitz

instead of focusing on art, writing, sport etc.

XFaCE

I would say though you posted photos of yourself post workout

iphonix

derec

XFaCE

for public consumption

schestowitz

so did derek

iphonix

thats why hes a vblogger

DaemonFC

mjg59_, Also doesn't seem to get another fact.

DaemonFC

Pollution is part of what keeps wealthy people out of an area out.

schestowitz

ash from mastodon.technology

XFaCE

"taking photos of themselves"

DaemonFC

Then the poor don't get better air and less crime, they have to move to another shithole to make way for mjg59_

schestowitz

describing him only in terms of nationality

XFaCE

and then when I pointed out you have done the same, you do a whataboutism

*kingoffrance has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

XFaCE

Please be consistent, that's what I like about you

schestowitz

how often do I post photos of me?

XFaCE

That's one of the main points I've respected about your character

schestowitz

compared to other things?

XFaCE

It doesn't matter how much

XFaCE

you did

schestowitz

occasionally, but not often

XFaCE

By the standard you set, you should have posted none

XFaCE

Any photo is a sign of ego

schestowitz

ok, so stay anonymous

iphonix

cmon think of the children

XFaCE

That is not what I said

*inky has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)

schestowitz

some people post photos of their young kids

schestowitz

that I oppose, but for other reasons

schestowitz

I saw youtube channels where they rob the kids off their dignity since birth

*x_ (~x__@4mmu4fx6g3jvs.irc) has joined #techrights

XFaCE

Ok, what level of picture posted would be the threshold for the "insta" mopre?

schestowitz

to get "views" and sell "influencer" services

schestowitz

the kids do not consent to this

XFaCE

"fwiw, derek said not very nice things about a canadian" so what?

iphonix

they are thinking about the kids safety that way the are giving the police their biometrics

schestowitz

he made lots of enemies for his politics

XFaCE

That Canadian is an individual who is not me, I am not offended on other's behalf

schestowitz

which seem to be edgy libertarian

XFaCE

schestowitz: so have you, I, and everyone

schestowitz

libertarians have a stigma associated with them

XFaCE

now your describing only in terms of political ideology

schestowitz

so let's backtrack a bit

XFaCE

how is that better than nationality?

schestowitz

someone asked what DTOS was

XFaCE

Yes

schestowitz

DT is Derek

schestowitz

OS is not an OS

iphonix

i did

schestowitz

and the video was about some self-named thing

schestowitz

ego

iphonix

i dont like that dude

schestowitz

ego does not have to be a very bad thing, look up the definition

schestowitz

ego became a bad word

XFaCE

My explaination was more to point and actually described what it said

XFaCE

You only described it as an ego project

iphonix

i think is doing linux a disfavoure

iphonix

is that the indivous guy?

iphonix

schestowitz

DT is also o n odysee

schestowitz

he recently shut down distrotoot

schestowitz

and also his gemini capsule last year

schestowitz

iphonix

yes it him

iphonix

schestowitz

from http://dict.org/bin/Dict

schestowitz

ego

schestowitz

n 1: an inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others

schestowitz

[syn: ego, egotism, self-importance]

schestowitz

2: your consciousness of your own identity [syn: self, ego]

schestowitz

3: (psychoanalysis) the conscious mind

schestowitz

see 2 and 3

iphonix

its one guy that makes half baked linux videos

iphonix

he doesnt had anything to linux

iphonix

is like a leach

schestowitz

I would put it differently

schestowitz

he discovered "linux" years ago

schestowitz

and later he did videos on "gnu"

iphonix

lol

schestowitz

but he used them on occasion to interject bad politics

schestowitz

like second amendment and edge shit

schestowitz

all this weapon fetishes

schestowitz

and how we as gnu/linux users should think like trumpsters

DaemonFC

Walmart had black beans on sale for a while on clearance so I still have about 100 cans of those left. They had them for 25 cents each at that point.

XFaCE

schestowitz: Ariadne supports the second amendment and opposes gun control and isn't a libertarian, do you consider her bad politics too?

DaemonFC

So we're going to be eating a lot of those for a while.

iphonix

yes that too

iphonix

is a fake

XFaCE

schestowitz: Is she a Trumpster?

DaemonFC

All of these food disruptions are going to get annoying.

schestowitz

XFaCE: she dislikes him a lot afaik

iphonix

i watched a couple of his videos and was like dude really?!

XFaCE

Yeah but she agrees with some of the same of what you describe bad poltiics

XFaCE

how about stop being a partisan hack please?

schestowitz

schestowitz

XFaCE

Yes

schestowitz

I like to all sides

schestowitz

and I can be judgemental of both

schestowitz

the important thing isn't wing per se

XFaCE

but you literally just brought up wing

schestowitz

callling me partisan s funnty

XFaCE

"libertarian", "trumpster"

schestowitz

because I get accused of either

schestowitz

people try to paint me on "some side"

XFaCE

I'm saying you are acting like a partisan with partisan arguments

schestowitz

XFaCE: the correlation does exist

schestowitz

the libertarians are more right-leaning in the US lexicon

iphonix

libertarians aka librals?

schestowitz

objectively speaking, arms have made the US unsafe for its inhabitants

iphonix

liberals

schestowitz

schestowitz

different things

schestowitz

similar words

XFaCE

I'm going to ask once... please stop doing that. Taking a word in what I've said and making a point that deverts from the point being made.

iphonix

different things but kinda close

schestowitz

if you go by the Libertarian Party in the US

schestowitz

then it's very far from the liberals

schestowitz

if you go policy by policy

XFaCE

Well that request being asked was ignored. Message received.

schestowitz

XFaCE: we can all calm down, I think it would be better if we chatted over voice. text conveys lack of understanding.

iphonix

Libertarian is a libral in sheep clothings

schestowitz

even the term liberal changed its meaning

schestowitz

it means Democrat Centrics now

schestowitz

prpgressive meant real left

schestowitz

but that too has been hijacked somewhat

schestowitz

by a bunch of loons, imho

schestowitz

the media muddles up the terms

schestowitz

it's a tactic

schestowitz

it harms communication

XFaCE

schestowitz: Yes, I can calm down and will, but I don't think that changes that your argumentation here was very disappointing. And I'm not saying I'm a paragon of debate here.

schestowitz

and divides people by making caricatures of them
