| DaemonFC[m] | Try $2 trillion. | Aug 11 00:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | For the whole of the DHS, that is. | Aug 11 00:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Trump's trying to get Secret Service put back at Treasury. | Aug 11 00:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Their main job is to investigate and prosecute financial crimes and counterfeiting. | Aug 11 00:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Their job to protect the president came about kind of by accident. | Aug 11 00:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The FBI didn't exist at the time and the US Marshals and Secret Service were just about it for federal law enforcement. The Secret Service was the bigger of the two agencies, and 2 more presidents had been assassinated since Lincoln, so Congress hurried up and made protecting the president their job. | Aug 11 00:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Kennedy doing the motorcade through an unsecured are of Dallas in a convertible Limousine was just ridiculous. So much that I believe it had to have been planned to go down like that. | Aug 11 00:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There were more attempts since then, most notably John Hinkley Jr. wounding President Reagan. | Aug 11 00:13 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I was looking at the results of the tests of different kinds of masks for protecting the wearer from the Coronavirus. | Aug 11 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A cotton mask is similar to a surgical mask, but the upside is you can send it through the washing machine to sanitize it. | Aug 11 00:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was reading on Wikipedia that the cloth masks are commonly used in poor countries in healthcare settings, but they've been pressed into service as a last resort because of the scale of the pandemic. | Aug 11 00:17 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I believe they were last using cloth masks routinely in the US when my grandmother was a nurse in the 60s. | Aug 11 00:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I asked my mom if she'd ever seen something like this in a hospital setting and she told me no. She was a hospital nurse as far back as 1981. | Aug 11 00:18 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Mandy was wondering why I was flooring it to get back home. | Aug 11 00:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It spawned 7 tornadoes that touched down and at least a dozen more funnel clouds within 50 mile radius of us. | Aug 11 00:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Some guy with a cross on his neck walked into Murphy without a mask on and just stood there. | Aug 11 00:33 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I'm glad that they're giving the One China Policy the middle finger. | Aug 11 01:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's something I agree with. | Aug 11 01:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This is ridiculous that we, as a sovereign nation, get barked at by China about who we get to recognize as a country. | Aug 11 01:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I really hope that anyone in Taiwan who thought about one country, two systems is taking a good look at Hong Kong right now and the "national security law". | Aug 11 01:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Taiwan is not a member of the World Health Organization, because it is not recognised by China or the United Nations." | Aug 11 01:05 |
| *DarwinElf (znc@fsf/member/darwin) has joined #techrights | Aug 11 01:05 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're not missing much. Getting to pay dues to an agency captured by China that repeats China's lies. | Aug 11 01:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's just absolutely no way that China got the virus under control that fast once there was widespread transmission. | Aug 11 01:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: So we'll never hear about it because they're such a repressive regime, but they're probably having the same scale of problem that the US is. | Aug 11 01:08 |
| *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) has joined #techrights | Aug 11 01:10 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's no telling when USCIS will call us for an interview. It took 5 months to get his work permit approved last time and if it runs out and they still haven't interviewed us, he loses his job. | Aug 11 01:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I have to send in a new application with the fee even if we don't end up needing it because the alternative is that he could lose his job if they don't get around to us before then. | Aug 11 01:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Plus, while you generally don't have to rush to put a new application on file because the application itself extends the old authorization by 6 months, this year Trump is increasing all of the immigration fees, between 12 and 51 percent. | Aug 11 01:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Work permit renewal went up by 34%, so it's a race to beat the clock. | Aug 11 01:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Unless you just like donating your money to the government, you absolutely MUST get that application postmarked by August 25th. | Aug 11 01:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: The upside is that as a foreign student, he couldn't normally file for a refundable American Opportunity Tax Credit, but as my spouse, he gains the right to do that if he files with me and says he's a Resident Alien by the IRS's Substantial Presence Test. | Aug 11 01:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I went ahead and filed a joint return and took the credit, and now we have the Treasury declaring that he's a Resident Alien and they gave me $1,000, which I turned around and used half of to renew his immigration status. | Aug 11 01:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then later, the CARES Act did the stimulus and we got $1,200 for him too because Resident Alien married to US Citizen. | Aug 11 01:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it's a back and forth game. | Aug 11 01:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They fuck with you using "rules". Fuck with them with "rules". | Aug 11 01:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then he was a student for half the year this year too, which means I get to claim another $1,000 next year for that. | Aug 11 01:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, there might be another stimulus check. | Aug 11 01:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So by the time this is over "Resident Alien" might mean that the government has paid us $4,400, which covers all of these bullshit immigration fees. | Aug 11 01:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The tax return also serves as "additional evidence" that we are married. | Aug 11 01:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: That's how you play the game. You tie their hands using their own rules. | Aug 11 01:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I'm also getting ready to serve a filing on a court in Indiana and a prosecutor to expunge an arrest record there. | Aug 11 01:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You can pay a lawyer to do it, but it's not difficult. | Aug 11 01:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'll be writing a letter to the Governor of Illinois requesting a pardon. I'm sure that it will be denied, but all it costs is putting a stamp on it. | Aug 11 01:34 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Every once in a while, he petitions the court. First to get out, then they denied it. Then to get off probation early. Denied. Off the registry. Denied. | Aug 11 06:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You don't have to be connected to get a light sentence. He got the public defender. | Aug 11 06:10 |
| schestowitz | you see words like "cum" in some of the filenames that are of no recognised hash value | Aug 11 06:10 |

| DaemonFC[m] | John took videos of himself when he was underage and sent them to those gay dot com creeps. | Aug 11 06:11 |
| schestowitz | This is more serious because | Aug 11 06:12 |
| schestowitz | 1) it involved key staff of BIll Gates | Aug 11 06:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He got costumes like "football player" and "military uniform". | Aug 11 06:12 |
| schestowitz | I presume the person he entrusted to manage his PCs | Aug 11 06:12 |
| schestowitz | 2) it's a 51 year old | Aug 11 06:12 |
| schestowitz | 3) this becomes more relevant in light of J Epstein leads | Aug 11 06:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I wonder if Bill Gates actually uses Windows himself. | Aug 11 06:13 |
| schestowitz | 4) Gates Foundation claims to support kids, so this is highly relevant | Aug 11 06:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I kind of doubt he wants his own stuff spied on. | Aug 11 06:13 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: if he did not, people would speak out. IIRC, he uses Android. | Aug 11 06:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Those perverts all trade tips about Ubuntu and Tor and stuff. | Aug 11 06:13 |
| schestowitz | some people insinuated that for Internet connection he may have his own satellite link | Aug 11 06:14 |
| schestowitz | If he brought unsavoury stuff into his machine, he'd use an outside 'mule' | Aug 11 06:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, but Windows Defender would flag it. | Aug 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz | One possibility is that those unrecognisd files are pornographic but not CP | Aug 11 06:15 |

| DarwinElf | i forgot, are nicknames normally left in logs, or removed? Freenodes rules are, if you're publicly logging, you must inform chatters like in channel topic or its site, or a bot, or when entering. I'm not as picky as being logged as some, but am actually in the process of becoming 100% private on most social networks, and IRC might be next (maybe next year)... but I didn't get into a controversial topic, so no big deal for my case as of now (just | Aug 11 06:15 |
| DarwinElf | the general freenode rule) | Aug 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz | Though given the veracity of this case, it's not "just another case" | Aug 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz | DarwinElf: I think it used to say that | Aug 11 06:16 |
| schestowitz | I've just checked again | Aug 11 06:16 |
| schestowitz | maybe some time along the way when chan desc was rewritten it was dropped | Aug 11 06:17 |
| schestowitz | DarwinElf: typically we redact upon request | Aug 11 06:17 |
| schestowitz | from those whom the redaction may affect | Aug 11 06:17 |
| schestowitz | like if someone pasted a password by accident or some IP is logged somewhere | Aug 11 06:18 |
| DarwinElf | oh, you still have a channel site, so probably there, just the IRC happenings article is a new thing maybe... | Aug 11 06:19 |
| DarwinElf | site is in topic... no problem then... | Aug 11 06:19 |
| schestowitz | I think it's mentioned in a number of place | Aug 11 06:22 |
| schestowitz | some people have been in this channel since 2008 | Aug 11 06:22 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: I am not able to find "melinda", "vacation", "work" | Aug 11 06:22 |
| schestowitz | nothing of relevance | Aug 11 06:22 |
| schestowitz | any mentions of "bill" relate to what seems to be subject rather than any connection to his employer | Aug 11 06:23 |
| schestowitz | so we don't have anything even remotely like a "smoking gun" there | Aug 11 06:23 |
| schestowitz | they scanned about 35,000 multimedia files, IIRC | Aug 11 06:23 |
| schestowitz | some people ask me if he still works for Bill Gates | Aug 11 06:24 |

| schestowitz | "While MIT relies on the word of someone who repeatedly lied about his relationship with Mr. Epstein (refuted even by MIT itself), the record shows what happened just when Bill Gates’ own engineer faced conviction for pedophilia (the media diverted attention to Dr. Stallman just days after the above E-mails came to light)' | Aug 11 06:53 |

| schestowitz | The bottom line: The unusual was usual at MIT, it seems, whenever Epstein was involved. At one point, according to Farrow's report, Epstein suggested that the donations from Gates and billionaire Leon Black and might be matched by the Templeton Foundation — but then, the Templeton Foundation asked the Media Lab to fill out a grant proposal, according to emails provided to Axios by Whistleblower Aid, which represents former MIT | Aug 11 07:22 |
| schestowitz | employee Signe Swenson. | Aug 11 07:22 |
| schestowitz | Cohen was shocked: "I didn't realize this was going through Templeton's regular proposal process," he wrote to Ito. "We'll have to send them something that a program officer and the board find credible." | Aug 11 07:22 |

| schestowitz | [...] | Aug 11 18:13 |
| schestowitz | I redid how Socorro handles queueing crash reports for processing. Previously, it used RabbitMQ. I switched it to Google Pub/Sub. In doing this, I removed one of the components between the collector and the processor which was sometimes flakey, so that was good. This was the first step in moving all of Socorro to Google Cloud Platform. | Aug 11 18:13 |

| schestowitz | During the Buildhub and Buildhub2 audits, I decided that while Buildhub2 has a different set of issues with its data, it was better than maintaining two indexes. I wrote up a plan to shut down Buildhub, identified and fixed blocking issues in Buildhub2, and migrated projects from Buildhub to Buildhub2. | Aug 11 18:13 |
| schestowitz | Then we shut down and dismantled Buildhub. | Aug 11 18:13 |

| schestowitz | Mozilla Location Services had been dormant for years. It was running Python 2.6 on Scientific Linux. It had a deploy pipeline that was several generations old. It was in an unmaintainable state. | Aug 11 18:13 |
| schestowitz | We overhauled it, finished up the Docker-ization of the services, finished the mostly-done migration from Python 2.6 to Python 3, updated dependencies, reduced a bunch of complexity, wrote a lot of documentation, fixed a ton of issues, pushed out a new deploy pipeline and Docker-based infrastructure, and did a series of stop-gap fixes for processing. | Aug 11 18:13 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.thedailybeast.com | Trump Says Biden Is Insulting Men Everywhere by Picking Woman as Running Mate in Interview With Clay Travis | Aug 11 18:40 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump says only men are capable of being Vice President. | Aug 11 18:40 |
| XRevan86 | That's a bit much even for him. | Aug 11 18:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump lives in the 1970s in his head. | Aug 11 18:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | As recently as 1992, there was no women's restroom in the Senate. They had to add one because there were 8 women elected into the Senate in the term starting 1993. | Aug 11 18:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump thinks tweeting "vicious dog attacks stupid n*****r for trying to go to school" is going to win in today's suburbs, which threw out 41 House Republicans in 2018. | Aug 11 18:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He doesn't listen to his campaign people. Then when what he does is disgusting to 56% of registered voters surveyed, he fires the people he didn't listen to and brings in more people he won't listen to. | Aug 11 18:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, campaign+PAC spending is favoring Biden. The campaigns have spent about the same amount because they're rate limited at how much they can collect, but PACs aren't. | Aug 11 18:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Pro-Biden PACs have spent more than 3 times as much money as Pro-Trump PACs. | Aug 11 18:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Of course, Trump is so stupid that he apparently got on the phone with Sheldon Adelson, one of the Republican Party's remaining "super donors" who usually busts out 9 figures all by himself in a cycle, to yell at him and say he wasn't doing enough. | Aug 11 18:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | David Koch is also traditionally a super-donor for the Republicans, but this cycle he hasn't given anything to Trump or his PACs. | Aug 11 18:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Koch doesn't support Biden, obviously, but he's rich and he knows the concept of "throwing good money after bad". In other words, if he gives Trump millions, and there's 90% odds Trump will lose the election, it's millions of dollars down the hole that he could have given to try to shore up the situation at the state level or something. | Aug 11 18:50 |

| Narrator | mozilla ... | Aug 11 18:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mozilla is just ridiculous. | Aug 11 18:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They've gotten so bad that there's way more spam and bullshit in Firefox than most propritary browsers. | Aug 11 18:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Vivaldi has some default bookmarks and a Bing search default that you can change and that's about the end of it. | Aug 11 18:51 |
| Narrator | well, do you have any open source alternative? | Aug 11 18:52 |
| Narrator | hmmm, vivaldi ... | Aug 11 18:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, Microsoft doesn't put in a "Get Edge" banner if you search Bing for "vivaldi browser". | Aug 11 18:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or on MSN news if you are using Vivaldi. | Aug 11 18:53 |
| MinceR | vivaldi is nonfree | Aug 11 18:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Anyway, schestowitz, a vaccine will be a sorry charlie. Much too little too late. | Aug 11 18:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Thanks to Trump's unmitigated disaster, about 600,000 Americans are getting infected per day even if we are only catching 10% of those infections with tests according to CDC. | Aug 11 18:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | At that rate, it's "Whatever happens happens, but the survivors will have some immunity and it really starts slowing down in another few months." | Aug 11 18:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I saw an NPR article that suggested that other Coronaviruses caused serious disease the first time they happened and then turned into the common cold. | Aug 11 18:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't know what to make of that. Half the media wants you to panic, and then Fox News is basically telling Republicans to go lick the handle at the gas pump because it's not a big deal. | Aug 11 18:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The truth is somewhere in the middle. | Aug 11 18:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It usually is. | Aug 11 18:58 |
| Narrator | well, if this just cold then the earth just get some break;-) | Aug 11 18:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'd say if Fox News is lick the handle at the gas pump and CNN is "WE ALL GONNA DIE!", Fox being 1 and CNN being 10. The truth is probably a 6 or a 7. | Aug 11 18:59 |
| *psydread thinks there is more of a chance to strip Mozilla's engine back to the bones and build a truly free and ethical browser, if Mozilla's engineers stop shoving more and more useless crap into it | Aug 11 18:59 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's bad, sure, but....eh. | Aug 11 19:00 |
| Narrator | we need a mars spaceship not another crap in the browser;-) | Aug 11 19:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The people getting the absolute worst of it are the Baby Boomers and what's left of their parents, and they gave us Trump and they get what they get. If it turns into a cold after it decimates the people who gave us Trump, then meh. | Aug 11 19:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <Narrator "we need a mars spaceship not ano"> Trump is useful because he's such a coward that if there's the slightest danger he comes up with the best way for himself to run away from it. We saw that at the press briefing yesterday and when he hid in a bunker from the protest a couple months ago. | Aug 11 19:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The fact that he's personally not even wearing a mask and is well known for being paranoid about germs is pretty interesting. | Aug 11 19:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Most germs that we com into contact with are not serious enough to even notice because they've been around forever, but if you go make contact with some secluded tribe or something, the germs that aren't really much of a thing to us cause a serious plague for them. | Aug 11 19:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only thing that Europe is doing really is delaying the inevitable. As long as it's out there at all, the only thing you can do is slow it down, and even at that, only by killing the economy for the most part. If everyone wears masks and there's plenty of hand sanitizer you're still going to get a serious problem, and everyone will ultimately get it at some point. The UK isn't even really containing it. | Aug 11 19:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Today is their worst day for new cases since June 26th. | Aug 11 19:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'd expect an upwards trend. Opening up dining areas and paying people to eat out is probably not helping. | Aug 11 19:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's no restaurant subsidy in Lake County and while dining areas can open at 50% capacity, many restaurants are just not bothering. | Aug 11 19:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Especially if their margins are low and they can't afford to keep paying staff to go clean all of the high touch areas after each customer. | Aug 11 19:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So the restaurants that do have open dining areas are in big trouble. | Aug 11 19:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They have to charge so much money now that, like. We went to Outback Steakhouse for our anniversary and it's normally $60 or so for 2 people, with dessert. | Aug 11 19:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I get the bill and it's $84 before tip. | Aug 11 19:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they're slashing menus and raising prices, and so the fast food restaurants are coping with this much better. | Aug 11 19:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They just close the dining area (and in the Walmart, turn off the ordering kiosks), and you can either use the drive up or you can stand in a parking space and order on an app and tell them what space you're standing in and they'll bring it out. | Aug 11 19:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But 50% and clean everything between customers just doesn't work with low margins. | Aug 11 19:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they're in big trouble. | Aug 11 19:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Normally, restaurant just wipe the table off between customers and pack the place, but that obviously doesn't work now. | Aug 11 19:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If anything, the government at all levels from your local health department to the WHO have been like "Why are we paying you?". Someone needs to send in consultants to do "layoffs for optimization" over there. | Aug 11 19:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because spending a fortune and then 10 months later they're still saying they aren't sure about much of anything does not inspire a lot of confidence. | Aug 11 19:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Maybe instead of huge budgets for these imbeciles, we can repurpose it to stimulus. | Aug 11 19:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The health department does about as good of a job with infectious disease as the police do with crime. | Aug 11 19:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The police solve about 7-14% of all crime depending on the area and according to figures that they, themselves, produced. | Aug 11 19:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's the government. Here comes big daddy government to make it all better. | Aug 11 19:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That interview about the crime and looting in Chicago with the mayor was priceless. The reporter just quoted the POLICE CHIEF saying "We make arrests and the prosecutors and judges just drop the charges or don't do much and then the same people just come do it again because nothing happens.". | Aug 11 19:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So the reporter goes "Mayor Lightfoot, it sounds like the problem is that the police make the arrests and then nothing happens.". | Aug 11 19:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mayor Lightfoot be all like "Don'tchoo sass me now!". | Aug 11 19:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: So I'm really between a rock and a hard place this election. | Aug 11 19:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I can either vote for a Democrat that will make Lake County more like THAT or I can vote for the Republican that prosecuted me. Personally, I like me and I don't like people who make trouble for me, so that's going to have to be the tie breaker. | Aug 11 19:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then you see the videos of the thousands of looters hitting mag mile and they're literally all black and jumping up and down and side to side and realizing that they're on the news camera and running to loot some other store instead, where they pull out the handy dandy iPhone and post videos of themselves looting to FACEBOOK. | Aug 11 19:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | One of them was selling the looted items on her Facebook Marketplace account where she was posting that she acquired them by looting. | Aug 11 19:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's how fucking fucked up Chicago is with the Democrat prosecutors and the Democrat judges. | Aug 11 19:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They post that they fucking stole the shit. They post themselves fucking stealing the fucking shit, and then they know that the state would have them dead to rights if this ever got into a court that cared, but it won't. | Aug 11 19:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Posting it on Facebook should be the END of them. No plea bargain. Straight to trial. | Aug 11 19:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What's wrong with this picture? | Aug 11 19:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Aging Liberal Hippie Douche democrat voters in Chicago set this up to happen and between the pandemic and the fact that the bridges have to go up every night now and the trains and buses have to stop to keep black people from the south and west sides of the city out of the Loop, I'm wondering if the city ever will recover. | Aug 11 19:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only thing they seem to be able to do is rate limit how many looters make it into the loop. | Aug 11 19:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This is the perfect way to end up with Trump again because anyone that might have been focused on the pandemic is now looking at people shitting on police cars and doing Looting Selfies on Facebook. | Aug 11 19:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Zerohedge is actually one of the only sites that is reporting on this in a factual and unbiased manner. | Aug 11 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They are the subject of a GAFAM censorship campaign, incidentally. | Aug 11 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You know why white people don't loot? | Aug 11 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not that there aren't white people who are poor as shit and wouldn't steal things and burn cars if nobody was going to do anything. | Aug 11 19:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But if it was white people looting the loop, the Democrat judges and the Democrat prosecutors would go 10 times harder on us because we can't play the "victimized minority who really needed a $500 handbag and a fur coat" card. | Aug 11 19:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's why we don't do it. | Aug 11 19:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Things have gotten so far out of control here in the name of political correctness that Illinois is going the way of South Africa where at first it was just Truth and Reconciliation hearings and apologies and amnesties for prior bad acts and all of that. | Aug 11 19:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now it's black people murdering whites so their socialist government can take back their land and give it to people who just let it go unused while they wonder why nothing productive is happening there now and their economy is in the shitter. | Aug 11 19:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | White people don't have a "Do whatever we want and don't go to jail card." like the allegations usually imply. If we loot a store and the law says you can go to prison for that, that's what happens. | Aug 11 19:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Frankly, probably the only reason that I wasn't hit with Hate Crime charges for that utter bullshit last year is because the prosecutor isn't a SJW. | Aug 11 19:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I'm torn here. I'm really torn. | Aug 11 19:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The prosecution shouldn't have ever happened, and it may have been worse if we had a SJW saying "He scared a Mexican!". | Aug 11 19:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Michael Nerheim is a fucking idiot, but it could always be worse. | Aug 11 19:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump focusing on crime might fly. | Aug 11 19:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It pisses me the hell off that Hellen Keller could prosecute this and the people in Chicago don't even try. | Aug 11 19:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even before the pandemic, I tried to go take Mandy to see the fireworks for the 4th of July last year and some black teenagers thought it would be funny to toss bird bombs or something into a crowd and cause a stampede where people were trampled because it was on a pier where your only choices were try to hide behind a ticket booth or jump into Lake Michigan. | Aug 11 19:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They got charged with C Misdemeanors. | Aug 11 19:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's nothing good in that city. There's pickpockets, muggers, looters, rioters, and a bunch of little shits that think things like that are funny. | Aug 11 19:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They act with impunity because of the left. | Aug 11 19:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It doesn't even matter that there's more cameras in Chicago than London. They'll do it in front of the camera. The city is like living in some actual war zones by shootings and fatalities. | Aug 11 19:40 |
| *CrystalMath is now known as Epicurus | Aug 11 19:41 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | The thing about crime is you'll never get rid of all of it, but if you undermine the justice system by packing it with SJWs, you'll have 5-10 times more. | Aug 11 19:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It stops being about "This little shit that raped an old lady and stole her handbag." and about whether the little shit had good parents or the right education. | Aug 11 19:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When you turn the perpetrator into the victim, you can't justify prosecuting them anymore. So the only people that the system worries about "rehabilitating" are the revolving door criminals, and the people who actually could be redeemed.....they don't even necessarily try. | Aug 11 19:44 |
| scientes | psydread, its not possible | Aug 11 19:49 |
| scientes | you have to develop an entirely new language | Aug 11 19:49 |
| scientes | and hopefully one that isn't turing complete | Aug 11 19:49 |
| scientes | psydread, this is what AAron Swartz was talking out with the semanitc web | Aug 11 19:50 |
| scientes | he was WAY ahead of him time with that | Aug 11 19:50 |
| scientes | psydread, also, many people don't realize how little is on the internet | Aug 11 19:50 |
| scientes | if you want to do any serious study you still need to go to a library | Aug 11 19:51 |
| scientes | mostly because of beaurocratic foot dragging, and not just in the form of copyright law | Aug 11 19:51 |
| scientes | in terms of enabling creative energy the internet has been great, in terms of making more information available, not so much | Aug 11 19:52 |
| scientes | Archive.org finially got a little ways in allowing people to "rent" books that they have scanned | Aug 11 19:52 |
| *tdemin has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Aug 11 19:52 | |
| scientes | and they also realized that if a VHS has not been rereleased on DVD that probably no-one cares about it | Aug 11 19:53 |
| scientes | but it really is just that single group | Aug 11 19:53 |
| *tdemin (~tdemin@2a03:1ac0:6dc3:9367::209) has joined #techrights | Aug 11 19:54 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm going to file a lawsuit against the Illinois State Police if they don't let me reinstate my FOID card now that my case was closed as a dismissal and all the orders attached to it have expired. | Aug 11 19:56 |
| psydread | scientes, that's my biggest gripe with what the internet has become and also the funny thing is I keep going back to technologies from 20+ years ago (that I have never bothered to truly learn) combined with only some of the things that are available today | Aug 11 19:57 |
| scientes | psydread, it is also a problem of attention spans. The internet is just not a good medium for writing something like a book, unless the topic is something computer-related | Aug 11 19:58 |
| scientes | as people struggle to concentrate for that amount of time | Aug 11 19:58 |
| scientes | unless they have a physical book | Aug 11 19:58 |
| scientes | also the mind just works with tangible objects, and computers are too multipurpose for the brain to wrap its head around | Aug 11 19:59 |
| scientes | so reading books in a natural advertisement for writing books | Aug 11 19:59 |
| scientes | and on-demand printing is a really amazing technology, that the broken university system has hindered rather than helped | Aug 11 20:00 |
| scientes | archive.org was saying it was easier to print books than it was to wharehouse them | Aug 11 20:01 |
| scientes | and that makes alot of sense | Aug 11 20:01 |
| psydread | I understand what you're saying, I have a pretty big collection of physical books here too, although I am comfortable with reading electronic books on tablets/e-readers as well | Aug 11 20:02 |
| scientes | I started reading a spanish translation of livius's history of alexander the great | Aug 11 20:03 |
| psydread | but ideally not much else should be running in the background taking attention away from the main purpose, which is reading and acquiring knowledge | Aug 11 20:03 |
| scientes | that e-ink technology is nice | Aug 11 20:03 |
| scientes | as is the OLPC screen which has no glare and needs no back-light | Aug 11 20:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, Mandy's EAD renewal is delivered to the lockbox in Chicago already. | Aug 11 20:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I definitely beat the "postmark by 25th of August" requirement. | Aug 11 20:04 |
| scientes | but if books were printed like JW bibles, which can fit 1200 pages to fit in a pocket, then that's clearly more practical | Aug 11 20:04 |
| scientes | in many cases | Aug 11 20:04 |
| scientes | (i'm talking about the 1980s printing, they added color and reduce the density in the newer printing) | Aug 11 20:05 |
| scientes | its wierd to talk of a specific product like that, but those things really are amazing | Aug 11 20:06 |
| scientes | I think the only other thing printed like that is OED | Aug 11 20:06 |
| psydread | my tablet recently died, so I'll be looking into some e-ink reader but I want it to run GNU/Linux (like the Pinetab) rather than Android | Aug 11 20:09 |
| psydread | I think I have that with my copy of the ORD (Oxford Russian Dictionary), but I'm not sure | Aug 11 20:10 |
| scientes | this one https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/bi12/books/ | Aug 11 20:12 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.jw.org | Read the Bible Online | Free Bible Downloads: MP3 Audio, PDF | NWT 1984 | Aug 11 20:12 | |
| scientes | yeah I can't find a good picture that shows the pages | Aug 11 20:15 |
| scientes | you really have to hold it in your hand | Aug 11 20:15 |
| psydread | this looks quite readable even here on my phone | Aug 11 20:16 |
| scientes | they also do their own printing which explains why you don't see much more of this | Aug 11 20:17 |
| scientes | I would like to see them in on-demand printing, but it really is too much of a beaurocratic morass than such a political organization would care to be involved in | Aug 11 20:19 |
| scientes | and archive.org already showed that it doesn't require *that* much technical expertise, but moreso motivation | Aug 11 20:20 |
| scientes | and the basic librarian covenent | Aug 11 20:20 |
| scientes | (which actually was once the motto of Google) | Aug 11 20:20 |
| psydread | I've been worried that archive.org has been removing books and websites over time | Aug 11 20:20 |
