| DaemonFC | As bad as the new IT stuff is with STATE OF ILL, they now don't have the warning "Don't attempt to apply for your FOID Card using a phone or tablet or it could get denied."

| DaemonFC | 24th Amendment Section 1 states "Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax." | Feb 12 00:42 |
| DaemonFC | That's fair enough. | Feb 12 00:42 |
| DaemonFC | But Amendment 2 just as clearly states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.[32]" | Feb 12 00:43 |
| DaemonFC | What is the "militia"? Every citizen of the United States is the "militia" according to historical precedent and case law. | Feb 12 00:43 |
| DaemonFC | So it basically says "Every citizen of the United States shall have a right to keep and bear Arms" and it "shall not be infringed". | Feb 12 00:43 |

| DaemonFC | I am of the thought that a textualist reading of the Constitution does give Citizens a "right to privacy". It would be illogical to assume otherwise.

| DaemonFC | This is still one of my favorite scenes. | Feb 12 01:34 |
| DaemonFC | The first 4-5 seasons of Rick & Morty were pretty good, before Justin Roiland was accused of all sorts of crimes. When the "battery" charges got thrown out, they came back and got him for "rape". | Feb 12 01:34 |
| DaemonFC | When the system thinks you got away and it really wants you, it will go make something else up or making hay from something that's not really so bad. Like having sex, with an adult, who changes her mind later and decides it was rape. You know, that's how the world works now. Don't ever be alone in a room with a woman, a child, or a teenager. Never ever be alone in a room with any of them. Ever. | Feb 12 01:34 |
| DaemonFC | You know, Gonad's friend Myron's daughter was like 15. She was big old hoebag, anyway, she started hitting on me while I was over there and she wasn't even subtle, and she did it right in front of her mom and dad, Brian, my mother. Then when it didn't work, later she came back down not wearing any underwear and bent over to "tie her shoes" right in front of Brian. I mean, there are some... | Feb 12 01:34 |
| DaemonFC | ...twisted people in this world and you can get into some serious shit real easily. | Feb 12 01:34 |
| DaemonFC | Of course, with the ready, shoot, aim system and society that starts "canceling" people before anything has been decided, I can't say anything about whether these accusations against Roiland are real. If you have sex with a woman, adult woman, they can just change their mind and revoke the consent three years later and now you're fucked. The allegation that he "talked" to some 16 year olds... | Feb 12 01:34 |
| DaemonFC | ...as well just makes it so much worse. " | Feb 12 01:34 |
| DaemonFC | You know. At the time they were all over you and then 20 years later it was rape. That sort of thing. | Feb 12 01:35 |
| DaemonFC | The fact that there is now neverending danger from going near a woman one time says a lot. | Feb 12 01:36 |

| schestowitz | NCommander | Feb 12 02:15 |
| MinceR | he also tried CTCP flooding people and brought several connections from the same address to various channels, usually from unstable connections, so they would go in and out en masse | Feb 12 02:15 |
| schestowitz | they just want to write and comment etc, i.e. to be productive, but Microsofters keep threatening, hoping that threats can discourage or censor coverage. That won't work. If they try, they'll end up homeless. | Feb 12 02:15 |

| DaemonFC | That was OUR app. | Feb 12 02:54 |
| techrights-news | An extensible programming language gemini://gemini.conman.org/boston/2024/02/11.1 | Feb 12 02:54 |
| DaemonFC | And then it got invaded. | Feb 12 02:54 |
| DaemonFC | Nobody is amused. Deal with it. | Feb 12 02:54 |
| DaemonFC | The best any trans person will get there is some gross straight guy who views an FTM as a woman and is taking advantage of that. | Feb 12 02:55 |
| techrights-news | [cat] gemini://nytpu.com/sneps/D839.jpg | Feb 12 02:55 |

| techrights-news | [cat] gemini://nytpu.com/cheetahs/D1189.jpg | Feb 12 02:56 |
| DaemonFC | So you're going to run into trouble there too, and it's so obvious. | Feb 12 02:56 |
| DaemonFC | Why don't you do a kickstarter and make an app for trans people where people who are expecting that can go? | Feb 12 02:56 |
| DaemonFC | It's allegedly a free country. | Feb 12 02:56 |

| schestowitz | even when hereto people use them | Feb 12 02:57 |
| schestowitz | doesn't matter if gay or trans | Feb 12 02:57 |
| DaemonFC | I'm merely stating that trespassers on apps that are not there for them shouldn't be surprised with a bucket of cold water. | Feb 12 02:57 |

| schestowitz | the media is shooting its own foot now | Feb 12 02:58 |
| schestowitz | refusing to admit what really happens | Feb 12 02:58 |
| schestowitz | not even ONE media outlet covers these issues: http://techrights.org/n/2024/02/01/Microsoft_s_Total_Debt_Soars_to_111_4_Billion_Dollars_an_Increa.shtml | Feb 12 02:58 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz Yeah, because there's so many diseases that there's always some that can get past whatever "precautions" you take. People are now so nasty that the FDA proposes to just put them on antibiotics preventively so WHEN they are exposed to syphilis, the clap, etc. they're already on antibiotics. | Feb 12 02:59 |
| schestowitz | the closest I saw was November | Feb 12 02:59 |
| schestowitz | saying Microsoft was becoming addicted to debt | Feb 12 02:59 |
| schestowitz | but then excusing that away | Feb 12 02:59 |
| DaemonFC | This is an even worse idea than AIDS drugs figuring they'll be exposed to AIDS a lot and don't want to wear a rubber. | Feb 12 02:59 |
| schestowitz | it's "OK" | Feb 12 02:59 |
| schestowitz | "normal" | Feb 12 02:59 |
| schestowitz | "don't worry, they are "worth" TRILLIONS" | Feb 12 02:59 |
| DaemonFC | The antibiotics will of course quit working much faster that way. | Feb 12 02:59 |
| schestowitz | like wework was "Worth" almost 50,000 MILLION dollars | Feb 12 02:59 |
| DaemonFC | And in the mean time, you still can't get antibiotics for pneumonia. | Feb 12 02:59 |
| schestowitz | 40 billions | Feb 12 03:00 |
| schestowitz | or 47 | Feb 12 03:00 |
| schestowitz | maybe 48 | Feb 12 03:00 |
| schestowitz | months backs... bankrupt | Feb 12 03:00 |
| DaemonFC | So you need to say "I just fuck a lot of people and sooner or later I'll get a disease that burns my balls." and the doctor will hand antibiotics out like a fucking pill pinata. | Feb 12 03:00 |
| schestowitz | " pill pinata" | Feb 12 03:00 |
| schestowitz | or "morning after" | Feb 12 03:01 |
| schestowitz | not the same issue | Feb 12 03:01 |
| schestowitz | apparently it leads to fertility issues | Feb 12 03:01 |
| schestowitz | long term use | Feb 12 03:01 |
| DaemonFC | You're supposed to take antibiotics every day. | Feb 12 03:01 |
| DaemonFC | Because you don't wear condoms and stick it in someone else's ass every day. | Feb 12 03:01 |
| DaemonFC | Grooooossssss. | Feb 12 03:01 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Feb 12 03:01 |
| schestowitz | i never resorted to anything like that, but drunk people with "fuck apps" act recklessly | Feb 12 03:01 |
| schestowitz | then shell out a lot of money for pills that ruin their organs | Feb 12 03:01 |
| DaemonFC | I can count on one hand the number of times I've been sure enough about someone to do that, and you have these folks that video tape themselves "pulling a train". No condoms. | Feb 12 03:02 |
| DaemonFC | They're not long for this world, Roy. | Feb 12 03:03 |

| schestowitz | to avoid this channel veering off topic | Feb 12 03:04 |

| schestowitz | to the point cops came around | Feb 12 03:49 |
| schestowitz | usually they don't come around unless the threats are serious and from someone who lives near you | Feb 12 03:49 |
| schestowitz | they say people threaten to kill people all the time | Feb 12 03:50 |
| schestowitz | and that it seldom actually happens | Feb 12 03:50 |
| schestowitz | if the threats come from another country, that's another one | Feb 12 03:50 |
| schestowitz | sometimes i get threats from people in another country who say they know someone here | Feb 12 03:50 |
| schestowitz | insinuating they will get someone else to assassinate | Feb 12 03:51 |
| schestowitz | but even then the copes cannot enforce | Feb 12 03:51 |
| schestowitz | as the threats come from abroad | Feb 12 03:51 |
| schestowitz | so they would need to collaborate with another country and force | Feb 12 03:51 |
| schestowitz | so many people exploit this | Feb 12 03:51 |
| schestowitz | to issue violent threats | Feb 12 03:51 |
| schestowitz | and try to get you to stop | Feb 12 03:52 |
| schestowitz | if you don't buckle, then start threatening the wife | Feb 12 03:52 |
| schestowitz | anyway, techrights will cover this later this year or next year | Feb 12 03:52 |
| schestowitz | plenty left to show | Feb 12 03:52 |
| schestowitz | but we must focus on the main issues | Feb 12 03:52 |
| schestowitz | like the above link about Mozilla and Firefox | Feb 12 03:53 |
| schestowitz | not a bunch of crooks and criminals looking to prevent publication | Feb 12 03:53 |
| parsifal | schestowitz: The iron fist in the velvet glove, if I must be metaphorical, is the same everywhere in the world ;) | Feb 12 03:57 |
| parsifal | schestowitz: One more thing aside from the current discussion... | Feb 12 04:03 |
| parsifal | schestowitz: After yesterday's article about Synapse, I remembered that you are a KDE user, do you still use X11 session? | Feb 12 04:03 |
| *jacobk (~quassel@kgjtzp9sreehi.irc) has joined #techrights | Feb 12 04:05 | |
| schestowitz | yes | Feb 12 04:10 |
| parsifal | schestowitz: I asking you this, because Synapse is great, but unfortunately(or fortunately;), it depends on the point of view) it doesn't work under wayland. | Feb 12 04:11 |
| schestowitz | no kde users will wilfully try wayland | Feb 12 04:11 |
| schestowitz | some distros might try to impose/push as "default" | Feb 12 04:12 |
| schestowitz | but that'snot the same as users choosing it | Feb 12 04:12 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC said Debian tried that | Feb 12 04:12 |
| schestowitz | or SUSE | Feb 12 04:12 |
| parsifal | schestowitz: Nate Graham disagrees… | Feb 12 04:13 |
| parsifal | I wouldn't even know if it wasn't for a Debian 12 install with a KDE that defaults to a wayland session, not X11. Wayland which, as far as it depends on me, I will not use in the near present and future, no matter how much the redcaps push;) | Feb 12 04:13 |
| arkanian | KDE 6 will default to Wayland, but distros can change the default | Feb 12 04:17 |
| schestowitz | KDE 6 will initially be less reliable than 5 | Feb 12 04:18 |
| schestowitz | wayland or not wayland | Feb 12 04:18 |
| schestowitz | TDE is still around | Feb 12 04:18 |
| schestowitz | kde3 | Feb 12 04:18 |
| parsifal | schestowitz: Besides Nate, keep in mind that Wayland, Hyprland, Sway and so on are the new cool kids in the neighborhood if you don't happen to know... Just open the unixporn reddit page... LOL | Feb 12 04:20 |

| schestowitz | - C.A.R. Hoare, “There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.” | Feb 12 05:08 |
| schestowitz | Feb 12 05:09 | |
| schestowitz | “The belief that complex systems require armies of designers and programmers is wrong. A system that is not understood in its entirety, or at least to a significant degree of detail by a single individual, should probably not be built.” | Feb 12 05:09 |
| schestowitz | Niklaus Wirth (Feb. 1995), “A Plea for Lean Software”, IEEE Computer | Feb 12 05:09 |
| schestowitz | “A primary cause of complexity is that software vendors uncritically adopt almost any feature that users want.” | Feb 12 05:09 |
| schestowitz | — Niklaus Wirth | Feb 12 05:09 |
| schestowitz | the techrights tools are light | Feb 12 05:09 |
| schestowitz | not always elegant | Feb 12 05:10 |
| schestowitz | but our software is typically dozens of lines of code | Feb 12 05:10 |
| schestowitz | some is thousands | Feb 12 05:10 |
| schestowitz | but for very large jobs | Feb 12 05:10 |
| schestowitz | like the code running the site by making pages in gemini and http/html | Feb 12 05:10 |
| schestowitz | wordpress is bloat | Feb 12 05:10 |
| schestowitz | if you run a site | Feb 12 05:10 |
| schestowitz | and there is wordpress in it | Feb 12 05:10 |
| schestowitz | even if you do not run any of your own code | Feb 12 05:11 |
| schestowitz | and no wordpress plugin | Feb 12 05:11 |
| schestowitz | you already have BLOAT | Feb 12 05:11 |
| schestowitz | and automattic will issue critical security fixes every x months | Feb 12 05:11 |
| schestowitz | then good luck updating or worse... upgrading | Feb 12 05:11 |
| schestowitz | not because you need to | Feb 12 05:11 |
| schestowitz | but because they tell you | Feb 12 05:11 |
| schestowitz | you cannot stay "behind" | Feb 12 05:11 |
| schestowitz | so you always have security flaws | Feb 12 05:12 |
| schestowitz | that are not your fault | Feb 12 05:12 |
| schestowitz | it's some bloated software you installed | Feb 12 05:12 |

| Sompi | It is pseudocomplexity | Feb 12 05:15 |

| Sompi | Compare Windows 11 and some old version of Windows (3.11, 95 or 98). The newest version has less applications but still requires thousand times more disk space | Feb 12 05:23 |

| DaemonFC | So, I have been forced to use a work Windows 11 laptop. The right-click desktop menus are totally retarded, I ALWAYS have to click "more options" to show the real menus to find what I want. Total user interface failure. | Feb 12 05:50 |
| DaemonFC | But at least it worked... well, until a few weeks ago when it did an update and started randomly BSODing with a bullshit "Kernel Security Check Failure”. Uninstalled the update, told it to "pause"and all was well. Until Microsoft, in their infinite glorious ass-fucking wisdom, decided I was no longer allowed to avoid updating. I had kind of hoped that they fixed their shitty code, or... | Feb 12 05:50 |
| DaemonFC | ...automatically identified whatever the problem was, but nope. Back to BSODing. | Feb 12 05:50 |
| DaemonFC | After some wild guessing, I manually updated the video driver. That seemed to fix the problem. Remember, this machine does not even belong to me, so I shouldn't have to do anything with it. | Feb 12 05:50 |
| DaemonFC | But no, there was nothing that indicated there was any known compatibility problem. The driver that had been installed was the exact same version that was still posted on the laptop vendor's (ASUS) web site. Had to use the Radeon driver directly from the AMD site instead. | Feb 12 05:50 |
| DaemonFC | As best as I can tell this last update added kernel integrity checks that broke some drivers. You just don't break drivers like that in a minor update. That is dumb. | Feb 12 05:50 |
| DaemonFC | That also raises the question of why Windows does not automatically update drivers. There is still an entire malware market out there for tools that automatically "update" drivers. At least in the case of a KNOWN INCOMPATIBILITY, it should damn well do SOMETHING. | Feb 12 05:50 |

| DaemonFC | I've got to hand it to Microsoft, only they could make something as simple as turning on a computer such a big ordeal. Every time I have to turn on a Windows 10/11 computer I have to worry: Will it want to do updates for the next hour instead of letting me get things done? Will it spend all morning sluggishly scanning for viruses? Will it suddenly show me more advertising that I have to hunt... | Feb 12 05:51 |
| DaemonFC | ...down and disable? Will it take away features today that I need to get work done? Will it add unnecessary hoops that I have to jump through to get things done? Will it refuse to boot, making me waste time digging out and restoring a backup? Will it suddenly start BSODing? (happened already) Will it suddenly magically stop recognizing my I/O devices? (also already happened). Will I have to... | Feb 12 05:52 |
| DaemonFC | ...re-learn everything all over again? Will it tell me that I am suddenly "unsupported" and have to run out and buy a new computer for some retarded arbitrary reason that gives me less than zero benefit. | Feb 12 05:52 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft. Where do you want to go today? Well, forget it, we have updates for you! | Feb 12 05:52 |

| DaemonFC | “We’re endlessly lectured by progressive elites in politics and the media about how GREAT the Biden economy is,” claims conservative pundit Batya Ungar-Sargon. “It actually is great — if, like the elites lecturing you, you own a house and have a stock portfolio. But for most Americans who live paycheck to paycheck, it’s awful.” | Feb 12 06:34 |
| DaemonFC | Absolutely true. | Feb 12 06:35 |
| DaemonFC | I think only about 10% of Americans own any meaningful amount of the stock market. | Feb 12 06:35 |
| DaemonFC | So pointing to what the Dow is doing doesn't mean anything. | Feb 12 06:35 |
| DaemonFC | It goes down, you lose your job. It goes up, you lose your job. | Feb 12 06:35 |
| DaemonFC | For most people it doesn't matter what the stock market does. | Feb 12 06:38 |
| DaemonFC | Even people who save in a retirement program don't actually get more money than they put in it. Even if you consider the employer match and only put in what the employer matches, and assuming they match that at 100%....You need that match just to have as much money as you put in yourself, after several decades of inflation. | Feb 12 06:39 |
| DaemonFC | " But the news narrative about the economy has turned sharply positive in recent months, and feelings about the economy have turned north as well. Even so, Biden’s polling continues to worsen." | Feb 12 06:39 |
| DaemonFC | Who are they polling? They never asked me how confident I was in the economy. | Feb 12 06:40 |
| DaemonFC | The last time anyone asked me anything, it was a telephone poll about whether I approved of George W. Bush and I told them absolutely not. | Feb 12 06:40 |
| DaemonFC | Obviously how I felt about Bush didn't matter much. He was re-elected. | Feb 12 06:40 |

| DaemonFC | People do try to keep their cars, but everything has a breaking point. | Feb 12 08:56 |

| DaemonFC | When a bank does get a car back, it gets very little for it at auction after paying people to repossess it and store it. | Feb 12 08:58 |
| DaemonFC | Pretty much the car's entire value disappears in the repo as far as the person who lost it is concerned. | Feb 12 08:58 |

| DaemonFC | I voted for Nikki Haley a few minutes ago. | Feb 12 21:52 |
| DaemonFC | The Republican Primary here is weird. | Feb 12 21:52 |
| DaemonFC | You have to vote for the candidate, then you have to vote for three of their delegates to the convention and three alternates. | Feb 12 21:53 |
| DaemonFC | I have no idea how this could be so badly designed. In Indiana it's just "Which candidate?". | Feb 12 21:53 |
| DaemonFC | I guess maybe even if they lose the "winner takes all" they could potentially get a few delegates anyway. | Feb 12 21:53 |
| DaemonFC | Technically, you CAN vote for Nikki Haley and then pick Donald Trump's delegates. Or two of Trump's and one of Chris Christie's (even though he quit months ago), or whatever. | Feb 12 21:55 |
| DaemonFC | It seems more open for voter error in my opinion. | Feb 12 21:55 |
| DaemonFC | You may forget to put your glasses on and then vote for the right candidate and the wrong delegates to send to the convention. | Feb 12 21:56 |
| MinceR | i wonder if it's like in Postal2 | Feb 12 21:56 |
| DaemonFC | I really wish they would go to a system where every state was a primary, the results were binding, and delegates were awarded proportionally to the votes the candidate got. | Feb 12 21:56 |
| MinceR | https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/postal/images/0/09/Ballot1080.png/revision/latest?cb=20140705192503 | Feb 12 21:56 |
| DaemonFC | Things could get a lot more interesting. | Feb 12 21:56 |
| DaemonFC | You wouldn't have to win every state, you'd just have to win some and not lose too badly in others. | Feb 12 21:57 |
| DaemonFC | But the parties set the rules for delegate allocation. | Feb 12 21:57 |
| DaemonFC | In STATE OF ILL< the results are binding, but it's winner takes all for the majority of delegates. | Feb 12 21:57 |
| DaemonFC | I think we have like 67 delegates or something and so that would be 64 is whoever achieves a plurality of the vote, and then 3 are awarded by election of delegates themselves. | Feb 12 21:58 |
| DaemonFC | So if you lost the State the best you could do would be to pick up 3 out of 67 delegates. | Feb 12 21:58 |
| DaemonFC | But since those are on a Statewide election themselves and it says who the delegates support on the ballot, the winner of the State probably gets all of those too. | Feb 12 21:59 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: So a payments app that is owned by PayPal demanded to see my state-issued photo identification to unfreeze the account and shut it down. | Feb 12 22:09 |

| DaemonFC | for various reasons (their failure to meet US gas mileage regulations for passenger car platform vehicles being the largest) they aren’t sold in the US. | Feb 12 22:12 |
| DaemonFC | a few attempts were made at bringing them here (in this case, to the US), such as the el camino, and the ford explorer “truck” variant, but they generally haven’t been successful here. | Feb 12 22:12 |

| DaemonFC | Gas mileage requirements are self-defeating. | Feb 12 22:12 |
| MinceR | indeed | Feb 12 22:13 |
| DaemonFC | The liberals imposed them and then set lower standards for "trucks" so then everyone went and bought a truck and the trucks are heavier and pollute more, then more people on bicycles got killed by the trucks because there's more ground clearance and weight and bigger engines. | Feb 12 22:13 |
| DaemonFC | And everyone who stayed with cars just kept fixing their old gas guzzler forever because the gas mileage and safety mandates doubled the price of a new car. | Feb 12 22:13 |
| MinceR | the EU practically killed city cars off with emission regulations | Feb 12 22:13 |
| MinceR | because the more massive a car is, the more forgiving they are | Feb 12 22:14 |
| DaemonFC | Right, so you go buy this thing that's as big as a house and about as aerodynamic. | Feb 12 22:17 |
| DaemonFC | And the fleet average is now "Worse than my old Buick." | Feb 12 22:17 |
| DaemonFC | While the Green New Deal idiots are cheering. | Feb 12 22:17 |

| DaemonFC | "Nobody likes fees, but a fee is a transparent way of pricing something." | Feb 12 22:19 |
| DaemonFC | Probably explains the banks re-arranging transactions in orders that they were not made in, as well as deliberately finalizing incoming deposits late, in order to "transparently" hit the consumer with as many overdraft fees as possible. | Feb 12 22:20 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Feb 12 22:20 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: ^ | Feb 12 22:20 |
| DaemonFC | Very transparent. A service, even. | Feb 12 22:20 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz I suppose if banks set their interest rates too low on savings products, more people will pull their CDs and start purchasing Treasury Bills as the CDs mature, assuming federal debt pays more. | Feb 12 22:53 |
| DaemonFC | You get a State tax exemption on those anyway so that helps too. | Feb 12 22:53 |
| DaemonFC | There's probably a "not worth bothering with a Treasury account" spread, but it'll be a tight one. | Feb 12 22:54 |
| DaemonFC | If your CD offer go down to 4% and a 4 week T-Bill is paying 5%, I mean, people will start buying T-Bills at that point. | Feb 12 22:54 |
| DaemonFC | 4 week T-Bills are very short term. It only ties up the money for about a month at a time and they can be scheduled to reinvest. | Feb 12 22:55 |
| DaemonFC | The federal debt problem will probably act as a "red line" for what the banks offer. | Feb 12 22:56 |
| DaemonFC | Then since the banks will have deposit outflows if the spread becomes too large, bank failures could easily happen if people start tying up their savings in the federal debt instruments. | Feb 12 22:57 |
| DaemonFC | Because it will cause a liquidity problem for the banks. | Feb 12 22:57 |
| DaemonFC | So they have two choices. Accept lower profits by keeping interest rates competitive, or suffer deposit outflows to more attractive fixed income options. | Feb 12 22:57 |
| DaemonFC | So far, they've just obviously taken a look and said "We think we can bump everyone down a quarter point and get away with that. | Feb 12 22:58 |
| DaemonFC | That will ease the pressure on their bottom line, but not by much. | Feb 12 22:58 |
