[00:06]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I watched that movie "The Beast" last night.
[00:06]	IsambardPrince	Great movie.
[00:06]	IsambardPrince	Where it leaves off though it makes it literally "up in the air" what happens to Konstantin.
[00:06]	IsambardPrince	The Soviets are going to interrogate him once he gets back.
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	His only hope is that the other two survivors of that tank, which he allowed to leave, die in the desert. (which is likely)
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	When there's a trial, or an interrogation, or a bureaucracy involved, the last thing they want to hear is "You placed a crazy man in charge of that tank. He went off the rails. He shot our Afghan guide for no reason even though the guy was a loyal Communist Party Member. He tied me to a rock and left me with a live grenade behind my head intending to use me as a booby trap. Morale completely broke down. When the Afghans found me, 
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	the only reason they didn't kill me is because I helped them hunt down and destroy my own tank, and I was so pissed from being tied to a rock with a grenade that I agreed."
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	That's the truth. Most people would side with Konstantin and agree that they would have done the same thing.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	But courts and boards of inquiry and other bureacracies don't reward the truth.
[00:10]	IsambardPrince	If you tell them this version, it makes you a traitor, it embarrasses them because they should never have put such a man in charge of that tank, it just doesn't help anyone.
[00:10]	IsambardPrince	So his best story is a mixture of lies and the truth.
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	"Our Afghan guide was killed by sniper fire while we were roaming the desert lost without a map. Our tank was heavily damaged and hunted for days as we tried to navigate what turned out to be a cul de sac only to find out that we had to turn back and face the rebels again. Our commander was heroic. We fought them to the last shell and bullet. When they damaged the main gun and tread with a lucky RPG hit, we had to bail out and fight 
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	them with rifles and small arms and grenades. Sadly, they killed our commander. I have no idea what happened to the other two men, because everything was happening too quickly. Then one of our search and rescue helicopters scared off the rebels right as they were going to kill me, and that's the only reason I survived."
[00:14]	andy2	I watched that film Isambard
[00:15]	andy2	quite good depiction of USSR.Afgan campaign
[00:15]	andy2	the scale of terrain
[00:15]	andy2	te impasses 
[00:16]	andy2	what stuck with, apat from the mad tank commander was a few things
[00:16]	andy2	that they would not admit they were lost and so it got worse and worse
[00:17]	andy2	and they poisoned the well/oasis, so that they killed the only rescuers wgo might help them
[00:18]	andy2	it was a tale of arrogance and self-defeat
[00:19]	andy2	reminiscent of some Vietnam films

[00:24]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, when they got to the part where they killed their own helicopter crew and it pans out to that spent cyanide canister I was like "Whoops."
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	Actually, first I had to quote Woody from Toy Story.
[00:25]	andy2	yea that was wretched
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	"Somebody's poisoned the water hole!"
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, ^
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	Well, the Russians are some nasty customers.
[00:26]	andy2	and when the women cut the guys toes off so he couldnt walk in the desert... or did I imagine that
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	They dropped booby traps that were designed to get children to pick them up so they would lose an arm or a leg.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	The idea was booby trap everything. They didn't want to kill the person who set it off.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	They wanted to maim.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	Killing someone means the others bury them and go right on fighting.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	Wounding them makes them a drag that requires the others to stop and take care of them.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	<andy2> and when the women cut the guys toes off so he couldnt walk in the desert... or did I imagine that
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	I did not see that.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	I saw the part where theor commander ordered them to run over a man with a tank, feet first.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	So he would scream to death while it was crushing him.
[00:28]	IsambardPrince	That was absolutely twisted.
[00:28]	IsambardPrince	It's no wonder why they lost that war.
[00:28]	andy2	I've got it on disk so I'll watch again and check (when I;ve the courage and in a bleak mood)
[00:28]	IsambardPrince	Scorched Earth is the best recruitment strategy, for your enemy.
[00:28]	andy2	It also reminded me of Walts with Bashir
[00:29]	andy2	I met a couple of tankies and they all hated it...iron coffins they call em, you are a orisoner 
[00:29]	andy2	prisoner in a box, every moment is panic
[00:30]	andy2	yeah scorched earth in Afganistan like Vietnam
[00:31]	andy2	well Afgan 1, no wonder the Taliban arose in the ashes
[00:34]	andy2	did you evert see the Adam Curtis docos about the roots of the Afgan conflicts?
[00:34]	andy2	Bitter Lake IIRC
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	No I haven't.
[00:34]	andy2	Its a beautiful cinematography of green farmland at the start
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	The US supplying the Afghan rebels wasn't designed to win the war quickly.
[00:35]	andy2	totally not what you envisage when thinking about Afganistan
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	It was designed to bleed the Soviets for years.
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	In a vacuum that was probably the most successful CIA intervention anywhere, ever.
[00:35]	andy2	yes, vefore the CIA funded/assisted phase
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	Yes, the movie took placce in 1981.
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	That was just as the idea was starting to circulate in Washington.
[00:36]	andy2	it was the usual influence, shit stirring to create west-friendly refie etc
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	The rebels in the movie were not well armed, they were mostly limited to obsolete British rifles and captured Soviet stuff.
[00:36]	andy2	Mujuahadeen ?
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	Charlie Wilson's War portrayed that part pretty well.
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	Yeah.
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	At the end of that movie, he tried to get an Afghan reconstruction package through Congress.
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	But nobody wants to do it because the point wasn't to help them, it was to hurt the Soviets and drive them out in disgrace.
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	He warns that without rebuilding, it will become a hotbed of extremism.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	We had the opportunity to rebuild them, relatively cheaply compared to our own 20 year failed war.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	And end up with an ally in the region.
[00:38]	andy2	Not much to be done there except leave them alone and apologise. Some mates of mine were in Helmand , they said the local actually quite liked the Brits
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	Nobody in the outgoing Reagan administration, incoming George HW Bush one, or Congress was going for it.
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	Build some schools, roads, hospitals, houses.
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	Relatively cheap.
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	Keeps the worst people out. Relatively cheap.
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	Going to war, very expensive.
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	Lose anyway, Taliban come back.
[00:40]	andy2	But when we all left in hurry last time (10 years ago ??) we signed a death sentence for everyone who was part of the rebuild administration
[00:40]	IsambardPrince	I think the package should have passed obviously. A rebuilding plan and some large shipments of food and medical supplies is a cheap way to buy a friend.
[00:40]	andy2	like that kid Malala whowas a female teacher, shot 
[00:41]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, the Soviets left behind an Afghan government in theory.
[00:41]	IsambardPrince	I think it lasted what? A couple years?
[00:41]	andy2	at most
[00:42]	andy2	but yeahm Beast a good film, quite hard going
[00:42]	andy2	I wish I couldmake film
[00:43]	andy2	watching Werner Herzogs masterclass
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	The Soviets propped up the Afghan government which is why it didn't fail immediately.
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	The fall coincided with the Soviet Union collapse.
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	All aid stops.
[00:44]	andy2	very good teacher
[00:44]	andy2	but I cant afford the gear, good cameras etc
[00:45]	andy2	Also Afganistan had a profound effect on young Russian vets , like Vitenam did on Americans in the 70s, lots of kids went back to Moscow etc completely fucked=up, and just being drunk, criminals 
[00:46]	IsambardPrince	I recall the initial Soviet collapse pretty well. At least its effects here throughout the 90s.
[00:46]	IsambardPrince	Russian finances were utterly horrible. There was even a debt default that happened around the same time as the overall Asian financial crisis.
[00:47]	andy2	it stil feels fresh dor me too, from 89 onwards, I went to Hungary then for a summer
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	Everyone started piling into US Treasuries and filling up their foreign reserves with it out of blind panic, which strengthened the Dollar.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	The unemployment rate in the US dropped to nearly nothing.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	GDP growth exploded.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	A dollar went a hell of a long way back then.
[00:47]	andy2	as it was all falling
[00:47]	andy2	very interesting atmosphere
[00:47]	andy2	why?
[00:48]	IsambardPrince	We also had the dotcom bubble going on in the background.
[00:48]	andy2	yes , I took a 100 quid to Hungary and I was like RITCH!!! 
[00:48]	IsambardPrince	Things were going well, way too well.
[00:50]	andy2	mad economics, "your loss is my gain", we need a "tide that raises all ships" 
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	There's actually a term for trying to cause your neighbors harm to prop yourself up.
[00:50]	MinceR	the latter is incompatible with Homo sapiens
[00:50]	andy2	whats wrong with the wold that "AI" turns into an "Arms race"??
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	It's pretty obvious. It's called "Beggar Thy Neighbor" economics.
[00:50]	MinceR	"tide that raises all ships", that is
[00:50]	MinceR	it was an arms race well before AI
[00:51]	andy2	beggar thy neighbour... I never heard of that
[00:51]	MinceR	i think "May The Neighbor's Cow Die Also" is more fitting
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	You try to cause their economies to fail, you try to export your inflation to them. Things like that. If they go to war, you fund and equip the other side.
[00:51]	andy2	Oh I remember Zixek telling that Srbian joke
[00:52]	IsambardPrince	The Russians did this to us a few times.
[00:52]	IsambardPrince	Like Korea or Vietnam.
[00:52]	andy2	A genie comes out of a bottle and says to the farmer "MAke your wish, but whatever you ask I will grant your neighbor two-fold 
[00:52]	IsambardPrince	There was a massive appetite for "payback" that led to Operation Cyclone.
[00:52]	andy2	and the farmer says "Take my eye"
[00:53]	IsambardPrince	Had they not bothered us during the Korean and Vietnam wars, I doubt that we'd have been in that mood.
[00:54]	andy2	apparently "spitefulness" is the fifth dark axis, now its a "dark pentad"
[00:54]	andy2	pyschopathy
[00:54]	andy2	narcissism
[00:54]	andy2	... hmm I forgot
[00:55]	andy2	machiavelianism
[00:55]	andy2	oh well thats three, I forgot one
[00:56]	IsambardPrince	The Russians were trying to spread Communism everywhere. They actually couldn't afford to do that.
[00:56]	IsambardPrince	The US was obviously not going to react well to that.
[00:57]	andy2	Isambard: but the "domino effect" was pretty much an imaginary menace right 
[00:57]	andy2	most of those countries were mostly resistant to communism anyhow
[00:58]	andy2	it wasin the minds of USA leaders (Fr Strangelove stylee)
[00:58]	andy2	sapping our precious bodily fluids...
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	Eh, Vietnam and North Korea were obviously very serious, Cuba too.
[00:59]	andy2	Cuba yes
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	China stepped in when it became obvious North Korea would be defeated.
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	They did not want the Americans at their border.
[00:59]	MinceR	which of them were resistant to stalinism?
[00:59]	andy2	my dad dought in Korea
● Nov 11
[01:00]	IsambardPrince	My grandfathers did and so did my great uncle Howard.
[01:00]	IsambardPrince	All three were WWII veterans who went back and voluntarily re-enlisted.
[01:00]	andy2	old man didn't talk about that one much
[01:00]		*includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in)
[01:00]	IsambardPrince	Howard was one of the ones that liberated a concentration camp and shot the guards as they were trying to surrender.
[01:01]	IsambardPrince	Patton was the reason nobody who took part in that was court martialed.

[01:01]	andy2	THye make loads of Vietnam movies, Korea notsomuch
[01:01]	IsambardPrince	There wasn't much sympathy in the higher ranks for concentration camp guards and SS who threw their hands in the air and smiled next to a pile of people they had murdered.

[01:02]	andy2	cant blame your uncle really
[01:02]	IsambardPrince	They expected to just surrender and be treated like defeated soldiers on a battlefield.
[01:02]	IsambardPrince	Insane, really.
[01:02]	andy2	bit late for "surrender"
[01:02]	MinceR	just human things
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	Defeated soldiers have rights. War criminals at an active crime scene, not so much.
[01:03]	MinceR	you can see now that it's far from just the germans, italians and hungarians who can be easily manipulated into being nazis
[01:03]	MinceR	pretty much all devil apes can be
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	Brandon Lobster and the guy who has "sweatpants with cum and cheetos" and hurts his wife's dog, allegedly, called me a Nazi
[01:04]	andy2	Inside every devil-ape is a guman being trying to get out MinceR
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	I'm not a Nazi.
[01:04]	MinceR	humans are devil apes
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	Had I been there with Howard I wouldn't have shot an SS officer, too easy.
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	I would have had some people pin him to the wall while I bashed his brains in with the butt of my rifle.
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	What happened there is so enraging, I mean, it just bothers me that anyone wanted to have a court martial.
[01:06]	andy2	I think I;d be too overwhelmed to act, literally seeing a pyramind of bodies
[01:07]	andy2	and I guess the smell wasn't great
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	Yes, there were so many bodies that the British had to bring in bulldozers.
[01:07]	andy2	but then I guess the liberators were prepped for what to expect
[01:08]	IsambardPrince	It's so horrific that any normal person that sees the footage, it doesn't feel like "It happened 80 years ago."
[01:08]	andy2	the knew what they were waling into?
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	When the British liberated Belsen on April 15, 1945, there were over 13,000 unburied bodies lying around the camp in the open air, and a rampant typhus epidemic that was killing 500 to 1,000 people every single day.
[01:09]	andy2	hell on earth
[01:09]	MinceR	earth is hell, ever since humans reared their ugly heads on it
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	The British army brought in medical units, but to stop a catastrophic disease outbreak that would kill the remaining 60,000 survivors, they had no choice. Royal Engineers had to use bulldozers to bury thousands of bodies into massive collective graves.
[01:10]	IsambardPrince	Before using the dozers, British troops forced captured SS guards, at gunpoint, to manually load the rotting corpses onto trucks to be moved to the pits.
[01:10]	andy2	In Schindlers, I recall that scene Speilberg did of the SS officer just creaming in madness at it all
[01:10]	andy2	screaming
[01:11]	andy2	at the pyres
[01:13]	andy2	there's a pretty dark scene in "Civil War" with the mass graves in USA. I could feel that scene bite hard. 
[01:14]	andy2	"Ordinary Men" is a good read to see how easy it can happen anyehere
[01:14]	parsifal	all in all, a pleasant thematic evening discussion... ;>
[01:14]	andy2	LOL
[01:15]	andy2	Isambard started it with Beast
[01:15]	IsambardPrince	I think it started out with the movie The Beast. Basically anything that involves the Russians is going to end badly.
[01:15]	andy2	I was fonna talk about kittens
[01:15]	IsambardPrince	Nuclear power, wars, uhhhh all those times they got themselves in trouble with the Stargate.
[01:15]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, ^
[01:15]	MinceR	:>
[01:16]	IsambardPrince	I mentioned the Chernobyl mini-series in here once.
[01:16]	IsambardPrince	Someone said "Worst episode of Kitchen Nightmare ever."
[01:16]	andy2	Oh that was excelent
[01:16]	IsambardPrince	That was good.
[01:16]	MinceR	:>
[01:16]	andy2	I remember the day we allhad to go inside and go home home fromschool early
[01:17]	andy2	85?
[01:17]	IsambardPrince	86 I think
[01:17]	andy2	yeah
[01:18]	andy2	I wonder if that would have beetter or worse if a woman had been in charge of the control room that day
[01:18]	MinceR	no
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	Well anyone would have been better than Anatoly Dyatlov.
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	Even me.
[01:18]	MinceR	communists generally all act the same, regardless of genitals
[01:19]	andy2	fear of the Party?
[01:19]	MinceR	yeah
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	I know jack shit about nuclear reactors but I know enough to not try to quickly reactivate one that's being poisoned.
[01:19]	MinceR	and instructions from above, and general attitude
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	The same thing kind of happened up in Zion, Illinois in 1998.
[01:19]	MinceR	including what led to the extremely dangerous design of the RBMK
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	The guy accidentally shut down the reactor too fast then tried to bring it right back up.
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	It cracked in half.
[01:19]	andy2	Was that "three mle island"?
[01:20]	IsambardPrince	They shut the entire plant down because running it on one reactor wouldn't be profitable.
[01:20]	IsambardPrince	No.
[01:20]	IsambardPrince	Three Mile Island melted down partially.
[01:20]	IsambardPrince	The one up in Zion just cracked. It destroyed the reactor but it was shut down with no radiation leak. It did not melt down.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	They still store the waste on site almost 30 years later.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	The plant has been completely dismantled though.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	There are armed guards there.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	andy2, I was talking to my ex about that one.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	I said, "So how'd you like to be the technician that cracked a nuclear reactor in half?"
[01:22]	andy2	people would take the waste for dirty bombs?
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	"Go apply for a job at Jewel-Osco."
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	"So tell me about your last job."
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, ^
[01:22]	andy2	LOL
[01:22]	MinceR	:>
[01:22]	MinceR	i doubt there would be much of an issue
[01:22]	andy2	Yea I wouldleave that one off my resume
[01:22]	MinceR	given that the sort of people who vomit out code at microslop somehow keep getting employed
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	"Well I cracked a nuclear reactor right down the middle and now I want to run a cash register."
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	"The good news is the cash register can't melt down."
[01:23]	MinceR	many of them are even widely respected, despite having inferior mental (let alone engineering) capabilities to a bucket of gravel
[01:23]	MinceR	incompetence, malice and lack of care are the standard for devil apes
[01:24]	andy2	Homer employing the little nodding bird to monitor the reactor is a bit like using a LLM now.... stupid bird!!
[01:24]	MinceR	like when i tried to buy a 10-pack of 9-packs of paper tissues at a grocery store
[01:24]	MinceR	after having half an hour of my life wasted by a broken self-serve cash register, it turned out that they put the package on the shelf but did not enter its UPC/EAN into the system

[01:24]	TR Bot	 Stanford's century-long AI study admits it's already out of date
[01:24]		*x-amarsh04 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[01:24]	MinceR	and the ingenious "solution" was that i was supposed to unpack it and buy all the little packages individually
[01:25]	MinceR	naturally, for lots of money
[01:25]	MinceR	so i left
[01:25]	MinceR	people put up with this shit routinely, so corporations like that one don't go bust.
[01:25]	MinceR	or i could list pretty much everything microslop has ever done.
[01:25]	MinceR	and yet microslop is worshipped like gods even now.
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	I remember that episode of The Simpson's.
[01:25]	parsifal	<Chernobyl mini-series> -> very good series, exceptional attention to detail and authenticity
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	One of my favorites.
[01:26]	parsifal	also evident in every detail is the incredible respect for the liquidators heroes who participated in extinguishing this hell
[01:26]	MinceR	nothing fucking works on this planet and hardly anyone minds.
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	Homer deliberately becomes too obese to leave the house and then invokes the ADA to get a work from home position.
[01:26]	admfubar	another reason to avoid "smart" anything... https://www.theregister.com/a/5308728
[01:26]	TR Bot	 Smart meters to cost the UK billions: 2G switch-off means replacing 12-13 million
[01:26]	MinceR	someone should extinguish the rest of this hell
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	Then he has the bird on his desk bob up and down hitting "Y" until the plant is about to melt down.
[01:26]	MinceR	lol
[01:27]	admfubar	https://www.theregister.com/a/5308371
[01:27]	TR Bot	 Microsoft teaches schools that free email was just a phase
[01:27]	MinceR	microslop is just a phase, too
[01:27]	MinceR	human existence is just a phase, too
[01:27]	andy2	I think youre right MinceR

[01:28]	andy2	its not looking good, I get people calling me randomly now and again...  hey andy, remember you told me about thet Linux thing.... where can I get it ? 
[01:29]	MinceR	that Linux thing is also fucked
[01:29]	MinceR	thoroughly
[01:29]	andy2	three friends ir relatives in the past month
[01:29]	MinceR	partly because someone had the bright idea of letting microslop fuck with it
[01:30]	andy2	we know MinceR, but I;m justsaying, the exodus for Windows is really in motion now 
[01:30]	MinceR	yeah, but at this point it's pretty much a no-op
[01:31]	andy2	and I am impressed that forks and no-AI versions are vlossoming
[01:31]	MinceR	from one unworkable bloated pile of shit that was fucked up by the redmond mafia to another unworkable bloated pile of shit that was fucked up by the redmond mafia

[01:32]	MinceR	intHell also fucked up S3 suspend support for ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10 years ago in Linux
[01:32]	MinceR	and it's still broken, and it will never get fixed
[01:32]	MinceR	because nobody gives a fuck
[01:33]	MinceR	newer laptops can't even suspend properly because microslop fucked that up too
[01:33]	andy2	there is a younger generation whoneed to learn to code. FOSS works in principle, a bit like democracy proved by the mid-terms :), so long as the basic idea is sound we will triumph
[01:33]	MinceR	people must love for their things to be broken, otherwise they'd have stopped letting microslop have a say in how they work by now
[01:33]	MinceR	microslop figured out how to kill FOSS
[01:33]	MinceR	and at the same time, most people gave up on FOSS
[01:34]	andy2	I think many people do not know (never knew) what GOOD and adequately functional looks like
[01:34]	MinceR	now we have legions of incompetent code monkeys on corporate payrolls shitting out code that doesn't work
[01:34]	MinceR	posing as "open source"
[01:34]	andy2	like when you frow up in poverty
[01:34]	MinceR	i think it's time to let nature heal and try again
[01:34]	andy2	you accept what youre given
[01:35]	MinceR	humans are unworkable and are taking up space and polluting the planet
[01:35]	MinceR	it's time for humanity to go away
[01:35]	andy2	some would say "humanity" has already hone away ;)
[01:35]	MinceR	sadly, there are over 8 billion devil apes around still
[01:35]	andy2	getting it back is my focud
[01:36]	andy2	that's 8 billion chances for change
[01:36]	andy2	if you belive in the power of one person to change things
[01:37]	MinceR	for every person who tries to change things, there are ~8 billion people who will do everything in their power to prevent that change
[01:37]	andy2	companues like Microsoft and Google aclimatised us to a poor expectation of technology
[01:37]	MinceR	that's what microslop did too
[01:37]	MinceR	people tried to take control of their own property
[01:38]	MinceR	microslop came down on them with SJW troll hordes and CoC-s
[01:38]	MinceR	and corruption
[01:38]	andy2	fuck Microsoft, they are nothing now
[01:38]	andy2	forget about them
[01:38]	MinceR	they own Linux now
[01:39]	MinceR	they tell intHell, AMD and ARM how to fuck up computers and how to make them unusable
[01:39]	andy2	you make the enemy in your mind
[01:39]	MinceR	no, i don't
[01:39]	MinceR	microslop owns rust, and that fad is also everywhere
[01:39]	MinceR	authoritarian people love it because it's a bondage-and-discipline language
[01:39]	MinceR	the FSF was corrupted into giving up
[01:40]	MinceR	torvalds probably never even cared in the first place
[01:40]	andy2	it's warrior/military saying yeah, about not building up the enemy in your mind, or else you lost the battle before you started
[01:40]	MinceR	no, i've already lost the battle
[01:40]	MinceR	i'm not a Dark Triad monster, i don't get to command millions to do my bidding
[01:41]	MinceR	and the majority of devil apes have Authoritarian Personality Type -- they won't settle for being brutally oppressed, they want everyone else to be brutally oppressed too
[01:41]	andy2	then how can you help? Its not good to demoralise others. If we are fighting for "tecg rights" (of which FOSS offers more)
[01:42]	MinceR	i don't know, maybe i can develop a weapon to exterminate humanity, to enable nature to try again
[01:42]	parsifal	...lol
[01:42]	MinceR	though with only 1 million years before the Sun boils away the oceans and atmosphere, it's not a good starting position either
[01:42]	andy2	okay that's a postive attitude... a weapon.... it's a start ;)
[01:43]	andy2	could youjust build us one that destrots Microsoft?
[01:43]	MinceR	that seems to be a lot more difficult
[01:43]	MinceR	how do you detect that a particular devil ape is a microslop worshipper?
[01:44]	MinceR	s/million/billion/
[01:44]	andy2	So its more difficult to destroy a bunch of poor wage slaves who can't code than the whole ofhumanity
[01:44]	andy2	anyway you don't need to destrory them,just liberate them
[01:44]	MinceR	they're not all wage slaves
[01:45]	MinceR	how do you liberate people who want to be slaves?
[01:45]	MinceR	brain transplantation?
[01:45]	andy2	before they end uplike those dude in the camps we were talking about
[01:45]	MinceR	the best you can do is protect yourself from those people by killing them
[01:46]	andy2	Inside every Midrosofter is a real Linux programmer trying to get out
[01:46]	MinceR	that depends on how you define "Linux programmer"
[01:46]	MinceR	is kay sievers a "Linux programmer"?
[01:46]	MinceR	is lennart poettering a "Linux programmer"?
[01:46]	andy2	sorry I kust got that Full Metal Hacket line as a brain-worm
[01:47]	andy2	I dunno Poettering , he seems a bit of a nob end to be honest
[01:47]	andy2	sounds lie he should be a code Poet
[01:47]	MinceR	microsloppers are too stupid to be worth trusting with anything, let alone computers
[01:48]	andy2	Man you really hate those guys
[01:48]	MinceR	those guys ended the industry i wanted to work in, and all of our technology depends on that industry
[01:48]	andy2	It;s just the Butlins goliday camp of computer science
[01:49]	MinceR	those guys pushed our species into a slow and painful road to extinction
[01:49]	andy2	no we did
[01:49]	MinceR	the best result we can hope for is a meteoroid that we could have otherwise stopped, if we had working technology, hitting us and wiping us out quickly and painlessly
[01:50]	andy2	hmm but in that film Dont Look Up some of them escaped to another planet
[01:50]	MinceR	or a gamma ray burst -- then we could cope with the thought that we could not have protected ourselves even if we hadn't crippled our own potential out of sheer malice
[01:50]	andy2	like the Golfafrincgans in Hitchikers guide
[01:50]	MinceR	escaping to another planet is really difficult, even if you don't make computers unusable
[01:51]	andy2	that;s your worst nightmate... devil apes spreading our across the galaxy
[01:51]	MinceR	well, if they could spread, they'd have to be a great deal more advanced than we are now
[01:51]	andy2	Microsfters colonising Mars
[01:51]	MinceR	we can barely mark another planet in this solar system
[01:52]	MinceR	yeah, let microsloppers find out that the life support system they designed works exactly as well as any other microslop product
[01:52]	MinceR	a fitting and painful way to die
[01:52]	andy2	yeah I agree, we should fix this one
[01:52]	MinceR	also, let them find out that their own code considers trying to open the pod bay doors an attempt at "tampering"
[01:52]	andy2	LOL. yeah the look on their faces when they realise the life support system is "Updating"
[01:53]	MinceR	:>
[01:53]	andy2	Need a better plan
[01:53]	MinceR	or that it just needs to phone home and check whether the license is still valid, real quick
[01:53]	MinceR	just hold your breath, it will be over soon
[01:54]	andy2	I have kids
[01:54]	MinceR	sad
[01:54]	MinceR	you should have prevented them
[01:55]	MinceR	i would enjoy this show a lot more if i could watch from the outside, unaffected, how devil apes doom themselves
[01:55]	MinceR	i bet it would actually be funny that way
[01:55]	andy2	that's what makes us soldiers, not money, not vanity, not patriotism, at the end of the day its those pesky damn kids why most peeps keep fighting for somethinf
[01:56]	andy2	instinct
[01:56]	MinceR	where are our weapons? where are the other soldiers? where is our shred of a chance at winning?
[01:56]	MinceR	and what would winning even be?
[01:56]	andy2	Those are great questions
[01:57]	andy2	Thats a great start
[01:57]	MinceR	getting just about anything done requires technology, and our technology base is thoroughly poisoned
[01:57]	andy2	nonsense
[01:57]	MinceR	even the hardware i can get is thoroughly fucked
[01:58]	andy2	we get jung upon other people;s definition of "technology", and their psyops to sap us 
[01:58]	MinceR	multiple ways to hide code from the OS build into the CPU for no good reason, broken power management, lots of hardware elements for which only thoroughly shitty drivers are available
[01:58]	MinceR	s/ild/ilt/
[01:59]	MinceR	meanwhile our enemies are moving to fuck up what's left of the Internet and barely anyone even recognizes the threat
[01:59]	MinceR	how do i build my own WAN, alone?
[01:59]	andy2	going back to the topic of Vietname and Afganistan, how did those little guys win?
[01:59]	MinceR	they did not win
[01:59]	MinceR	they managed to get the worse kind of oppressor to rule them
[01:59]	andy2	How did people with no tech hand our arses to us on a plate?
● Nov 11
[02:00]	MinceR	usians gave up, pretty much
[02:00]	MinceR	and the people who thought they won are fucked
[02:00]	andy2	They spiflicated us , in multiple theatres of operation
[02:00]	parsifal	No matter what the Russians did, and its not as if they handled things with kid gloves, they were bound to lose anyway. Afghanistan is a unique place with a unique population.
[02:00]	MinceR	vietnamese live under a stalinist dictatorship aligned with the chinese empire and muscovy
[02:00]	parsifal	Shooting, slaughtering, and killing one another along clan lines, thats practically a national sport over there. The people are tough and accustomed to hardship and a difficult life.
[02:01]	andy2	but you;re avoiding my point, When did "technology" ever really matter?
[02:01]	MinceR	afghanistani live under a muslim fundamentalist dictatorship, also aligned with the axis of evil
[02:01]	MinceR	technology matters if you want to survive the Sun becoming a red giant
[02:01]	andy2	mindset
[02:01]	MinceR	like it or not, prayer does fuck all against it
[02:02]	andy2	we;ve lost our mindset
[02:02]	MinceR	most devil apes don't have a mind
[02:02]	andy2	must be regained
[02:02]	MinceR	can't be
[02:02]	andy2	who says?
[02:02]	MinceR	the memes that control them say so
[02:03]	MinceR	good luck healing a devil ape of christianity or islam
[02:03]	MinceR	or stalinism
[02:03]	MinceR	or nazism
[02:03]	MinceR	or microslopism
[02:03]	MinceR	and i could keep going, but i won't
[02:03]	MinceR	these memes are where they are because they're virulent and tenacious
[02:04]	andy2	you crescendo with Microslopism, no need to elaborate
[02:04]	MinceR	we can only hope that whatever comes after us will have some sort of immune system against memes
[02:05]	andy2	I rememer now I did a video on technofascism and the lime "where are the mass graves at Microsoft" just came back to me
[02:05]	MinceR	they don't need to kill your body if they can kill your mind
[02:06]	andy2	I know, I used 365 for a day once
[02:07]	andy2	we can do better
[02:07]	MinceR	it's possible to do better
[02:07]	MinceR	i'm not sure if we can while 8 billion devil apes are doing everything they can to stop us
[02:08]	andy2	so, in this mision, you are chief WMD officer MinceR?
[02:08]	MinceR	microslop did not allow the free software community to build a usable OS
[02:08]	MinceR	they poisoned and corrupted the community, and took over or destroyed most of what resulted from it
[02:08]	MinceR	i have no position nor rank, i hardly have any allies i know of
[02:09]	andy2	and you're working on a small yield device to blow the minds of Microsofters, and free them
[02:09]	MinceR	i don't even know what sort of device it would be
[02:10]	andy2	just start with the basic assumption it exists
[02:10]	andy2	have tyou watched/read SICP
[02:10]	andy2	Sussman explains magic spells
[02:10]	MinceR	i have
[02:11]	andy2	so remember befin with the assumption the functionm exists
[02:11]	andy2	the build backwards
[02:11]	andy2	in your mins you already won 
[02:11]	andy2	mind
[02:11]	andy2	the rest is detail
[02:12]	andy2	exciting times
[02:12]	andy2	allies
[02:12]	andy2	you have friends everywhere
[02:13]	MinceR	then they hide well
[02:13]	andy2	you scare them
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	Linux is so fucked the most pleasant way to deal with it is on a Chromebook.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	In a VM.
[02:14]	MinceR	Linux runs directly on a chromebook
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	Where all the crackpot shit that's in it can't touch anything important.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	And UEFI is not the firmware.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	Yes, it runs on Linux the kernel.
[02:14]	MinceR	how sure are you that chrome os doesn't have any of the crackpot shit in it yet?
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	But unlike regular distributions it does not rely on Wayland or systemd or pulseaudio.
[02:15]	andy2	Linux is like it got stuck on the sofa watcging cable and sttuffed its face with burgers until it couldnt get up yo take a shit
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	Bluetooth also seems to work more reliably on Chromebooks.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Kiki is acting so sweet today.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	Makes me wonder what she's plotting.
[02:15]	MinceR	:>
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	"Tonight after I do this I think I'll claw your couch and then bite you."
[02:15]	andy2	You love cats Isambard?
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	Yes.
[02:16]	andy2	ok
[02:16]	MinceR	Linux itself is increasingly crackpot shit
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	It is.
[02:16]	andy2	reach out to Jay Little (see his blog) he lost his cat
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	It was fairly reliable in the KDE 3 days.
[02:16]	MinceR	indeed
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	Too many abstraction layers, Qt. is now pretty bloated.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	Especially WebEngine.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	They "backport CVEs" which is not good enough.
[02:17]	andy2	remember when they called KDE "Kids desktop"
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	Many bugs which don't get CVEs are fixed.
[02:18]	IsambardPrince	Upstream.
[02:18]	IsambardPrince	And those have security implications.
[02:18]	MinceR	GTK (formerly GIMP ToolKit) manages to be bloated while lacking widgets to support GIMP
[02:18]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2] says he uses the KDE browser.
[02:18]	andy2	when KDE was a bit over-themed
[02:18]	MinceR	well, now microslop puppets at Indian Bowel Movement decide on the theme of your desktop
[02:18]	MinceR	because muh branding
[02:18]	andy2	LOL IBM
[02:19]	IsambardPrince	I've been back and forth on desktops but GNOME is unusable and now it's that or KDE because that laptop has a HiDPI screen.
[02:19]	MinceR	also, can't have innovation on a free desktop because it keeps making crApple and microslop look bad
[02:19]	IsambardPrince	It's 10 years old and has a better screen than most modern laptops.
[02:19]	MinceR	but it seems that the masses don't want it anyway
[02:19]	MinceR	they prefer to be controlled by microslop and crApple
[02:19]	andy2	I quite like it now, I put it on the last migration for someone
[02:19]	MinceR	and they prefer for you to be controlled by microslop and crApple as well
[02:20]	andy2	the basic defaults are simple
[02:20]	andy2	which is what a Linux noob needs
[02:20]	MinceR	i got tired of KDE when Plasma regularly forgot its settings and then the retards capitulated to GNOME OS
[02:20]	IsambardPrince	So destroying a nuclear reactor then trying to find any other job. I wonder how that went for him.
[02:20]	MinceR	(by announcing that KDE5 will depend on systemd)
[02:20]	MinceR	probably well
[02:20]	andy2	browser, file manager, start/stop button
[02:21]	MinceR	poettering was hired by microslop after shitting out systemd
[02:21]	IsambardPrince	How do you even handle an interviewer who asks about your last job after you cost your employer over a billion dollars with one mistake.
[02:21]	MinceR	stephen elop was hired by microslop after killing nokia
[02:21]	MinceR	i'm sure ASPD enjoyers have well tested ways of dealing with that
[02:22]	andy2	Hueng just cost Nvidia half a trillion

[02:22]	MinceR	dave cutler "designed" an OS on the principle of doing everything the opposite way from Unix, and got hired by microslop to do it again, only even worse.
[02:23]	MinceR	if anything, it's competent engineers who need to worry about finding a job.
[02:23]	andy2	well diversity is good
[02:23]	MinceR	valuing only retardation is exactly as "diverse" as valuing excellence
[02:23]	andy2	PLan 9 anyone
[02:23]	MinceR	i.e. not at all
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	Interviewer: "I see a brief gap in your employment after early 1997. What happened at your previous position at the power plant?"
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	Applicant: "Well, I led a high-stakes stress test of our core thermal-hydraulic infrastructure. During an unexpected operational pause, I took the initiative to rapidly re-establish baseline power output."
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	Interviewer: "And how did that go?"
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	Applicant: "We uncovered structural load limitations in the facility that ultimately led management to pivot their long-term asset allocation strategy toward complete decommissioning. I demonstrated decisive leadership under high pressure."
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	Interviewer: "Did... did you break the reactor?"
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	Applicant: "I successfully ascertained its structural limits."
[02:24]	MinceR	see, you've got it
[02:24]	MinceR	there are many devil apes for whom this sort of bullshit is second nature
[02:24]	MinceR	(or first)
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Interviewer: "You ascertained its structural limits."
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Applicant: "In real-time, yes. Prior to my initiative, those limits were purely theoretical. Now they are empirically documented."
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Interviewer: "By cracking a billion-dollar reactor pressure vessel down the middle."
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Applicant: "By identifying a single point of failure in the facility's long-term capital expenditure model. Frankly, I saved ComEd decades of indecision."
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Interviewer: "Mr. Miller, this is a mid-level shift manager position at a regional distribution warehouse. We move pallets of canned soup."
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Applicant: "Which is precisely why my skill set is an exact match. I can assure you that under my supervision, no pallet of Campbells Chunky Sirloin Burger will ever reach prompt criticality."
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Interviewer: "...Prompt criticality?"
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Applicant: "The soup will remain stable. The shelves will hold. And if an operational anomaly occurs in Aisle 4, I will not attempt to override the automatic trip sequence."
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Interviewer: "I... okay. What are your salary expectations?"
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Applicant: "Whatever rate allows me to remain at least fifty miles away from any control room featuring a control rod position indicator."
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Interviewer: "Fair enough. You start Monday. Please don't touch the forklift."
[02:26]	MinceR	lol
[02:26]	andy2	epic
[02:26]	MinceR	and they pay the forklift operator less
[02:26]	MinceR	because we have a failed society
[02:29]	andy2	everyone reaches their level of incompetent job satisfation, for some people it is being an example to the next guy on how not to die horribly and fail the mission
[02:30]	andy2	Prompt critcicality WTF?
[02:33]	IsambardPrince	:)
[02:34]	IsambardPrince	Delayed criticality is what you're going for.
[02:35]	MinceR	i'd prefer to leave even that to the species that replace us
[02:35]	IsambardPrince	When operator Anatoly Dyatlov ordered the AZ-5 button pressed, the graphite tips of the control rods entered the core first, displacing water and causing an instant localized prompt critical power surge, spiking the reactor's output to over 100 times its maximum design capacity in under 4 seconds.
[02:36]	andy2	prompt as in fast
[02:36]	andy2	I get confused about "prompr engineering", lie youwant it right now?
[02:36]	MinceR	well, at least they fulfilled the five-year plan in power production
[02:36]	MinceR	in a matter of seconds
[02:37]	IsambardPrince	When a heavy atom like Uranium-235 splits (fissions), it releases energy and extra neutrons:Prompt Neutrons (~99.3%): Released instantlyin a fraction of a microsecond ($10^{-14}$ seconds).Delayed Neutrons (~0.7%): Released later (seconds to minutes) as unstable fission products decay.That tiny 0.7% of delayed neutrons is the only reason nuclear power plants can physically exist.
[02:37]	IsambardPrince	Ugh. I guess those symbols don't work here.
[02:38]	andy2	rejoice comrades, power output is up 900 percent
[02:38]	IsambardPrince	A normal nuclear reactor operates in a state called delayed criticality.
[02:38]	IsambardPrince	The reactor relies on both prompt and delayed neutrons to keep the chain reaction going steady. Because of that tiny delay from the 0.7% of delayed neutrons, the reaction moves slow enough for mechanical systems, control rods, temperature feedback, and human operators to react and keep the core stable.
[02:39]	andy2	like less neutrons than are needed to explode the reactor?
[02:39]	IsambardPrince	If a reactor achieves criticality using only the prompt neutrons alone, it has crossed the threshold into prompt criticality.
[02:39]	IsambardPrince	At this point, the nuclear chain reaction doubles in power every few microseconds. No control rod can fall fast enough, no computer can process a command quickly enough, and no operator can intervene.
[02:40]	IsambardPrince	The power output spikes exponentially in milliseconds, generating unimaginable heat, boiling the coolant instantly, and causing a massive steam/thermal explosion that shatters the core before physical expansion finally blows the nuclear material apart.
[02:40]	MinceR	on the upside, the orcs made sure they placed the chornobyl plant so that no people they cared about lived close to it
[02:41]	IsambardPrince	Hundreds of them each weighing roughly 770 pounds.
[02:41]	andy2	hmmm I'm getting the idea here, "AI" freaks say the most important thing is critical thinking *they don't have any, but they want to use promp engineering to achieve that. It's Chernobyl all over again folks!
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	That was due to the coolant being boiled off into steam.
[02:43]	IsambardPrince	The Orcs dug trenches nearby and kicked up enough radioactive material that they had to be evacuated to a hospital in Belarus.
[02:44]	MinceR	the underlings dug the trenches
[02:44]	MinceR	the ones calling the shots did whatever they did in moscow
[02:44]	IsambardPrince	I thought that was funny anyway.
[02:45]	IsambardPrince	If someone told me to dig a trench there desertion would be the first thought I had.
[02:45]	MinceR	:>
[02:46]	andy2	the trench is to shit in when you understand what's happening

[08:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	they need to do better 
[08:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	otherwise people don't pay the premiums

[08:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	Beef is Beef
[08:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	the sauce and stuff is Italisn

[08:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	like when to add the sauce
[08:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	and temperature
[08:03]	IsambardPrince	I figured out an easier way to do it that cuts out two steps, tastes better, and results in a perfectly tender roast.
[08:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	and mayube they have better suppliers of "beef"
[08:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	i worked at burger king

[08:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	they really work towards and sometimes patent the process
[08:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	for consistency and good taste, texture, temperature
[08:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	also have steamers
[08:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	which most kitchens lack

[13:42]	TR News	"If employees can keep working through their current approval period, the number affected immediately may be relatively small."
[13:44]	TR News	"no RAs in the December. People affected have to be terminated before the end of 2026. An RA means the employee is notified on month in advance before the termination."
[13:44]	TR News	"this is what happens when you work at IBM you always end up being sc--wed. Stay away from IBM it is a disgusting employer."
[13:44]	TR News	"This is true. But if you live in the US, what they WILL do and HAVE done to many good people is tell an employee "you are being separated for performance. Your last day is today." They will pay you out for the remainder of the pay period and your insurance will be valid until the end of the month."
[13:44]	TR News	"So - if they can spin up some story about your performance for whatever reason they can come up with that keeps them from being sued, they could technically fire you right up through mid December. As someone else pointed out - stay away from IBM. It's a toxic culture of fear."

[21:21]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Now Republicans on Facebook are panicking.
[21:22]	IsambardPrince	The Democrats won full control over enough states to put the National Popular Vote compact into force.
[21:25]	IsambardPrince	I remember when they started talking about the compact.
[21:26]	IsambardPrince	Around 2004 I think.
[21:26]	IsambardPrince	A state would pass it, it would go dormant again for a year or two, a few more passed it.
[21:26]	IsambardPrince	Right now there's no standing to sue over it.
[21:27]	IsambardPrince	The state laws that would implement it all say they don't go into effect until there's 270 electoral votes or more.
[21:27]	IsambardPrince	As soon as the states allocate their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner, it's likely that it will attract lawsuits.
[21:27]	IsambardPrince	Both state and federal lawsuits.
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	I don't expect that they will succeed though.
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	The constitution says that states can allocate electors according to state law.
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	The real danger would be that you get it into effect then one state flips back to the Republicans and they repeal it and we go back to the electoral college even though only one state repealed it.

[22:33]	IsambardPrince	Alaska's still looking good for that.
[22:34]	IsambardPrince	All of Trump's biggest allies in the Senate that were on the ballot this year got wiped out.

[23:29]	IsambardPrince	I got blue stuff all over one of my Carhartt shirts somehow.
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	Pissed off.
[23:30]	IsambardPrince	Tried to get it out with dish soap and a toothbrush but it looks like it's not going to come out.
[23:43]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I told my dad:
[23:43]	IsambardPrince	I'll admit this administration has made me laugh occasionally, but it's also a tragedy.
[23:43]	IsambardPrince	RFK Jr. is killing kids by telling parents vaccines are dangerous or that they don't work, but along the way he also stopped for greasy junk food at Steak and Shake and it reminded me of Kryten in that episode Lister removes the guilt chip and Kryten comes in and stirs his drink with his groin attachment and smoking a cigarette and says "Healthy? Who gives a smeg? Pork away!"
[23:43]	IsambardPrince	Sometimes funny, but often tragic. I never thought that would be the health secretary of America.
