●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Saturday, November 12, 2022 ●● ● Nov 12 [00:11] DaemonFC @BaronHK [00:11] DaemonFC It's an interesting thing about Communism and Capitalism. [00:11] DaemonFC In East Germany in the 70s, there was a coffee shortage. Everyone got rations, and eventually the government started mixing it with chicory. [00:11] DaemonFC In the US, coffee prices went up 40% in the past year, and they let you figure out how much coffee you can afford, since your wages only went up 3-5%. [00:11] DaemonFC "Capitalism" doesn't need rationing stamps when they can just make the price higher and higher until only rich people can buy much of it. [00:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated.

[00:28] reptilian_thrills does chicory even have caffiene? because if youre denying caffeine to most of your workforce, you should just reload and shoot the other foot [00:29] reptilian_thrills also if youre going to concentrate all state power into one person-- that person should NEVER drink anything with caffeine [00:29] MinceR :> [00:29] MinceR afaik it doesn't [00:29] MinceR but in stalinism, it doesn't really matter [00:30] reptilian_thrills stupid man [00:30] MinceR your workforce isn't putting the effort in anyway [00:30] reptilian_thrills "we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us" [00:30] MinceR pretty much no one is motivated to put the effort in [00:30] MinceR in part due to lack of competition [00:30] MinceR in part due to political leadership [00:30] MinceR in part due to oppression [00:31] MinceR and even the tools and raw materials suck because they're produced under the same conditions [00:32] reptilian_thrills in part due to lack of competition <- honestly though, quite a lot of work was done [00:32] MinceR poorly [00:32] reptilian_thrills that was mandatory [00:32] reptilian_thrills in part due to political leadership <- in part due to oppression <- i think these were larger factors [00:34] DaemonFC The Illinois Purge Law is coming. [00:34] DaemonFC Goes into effect January 1st. [00:34] DaemonFC That should be fun. [00:35] reptilian_thrills one of the things that failed about stalinism is the workers should have been armed [00:35] reptilian_thrills i dont think stalin would have stayed in power then [00:36] MinceR stalin wouldn't have survived long then [00:36] reptilian_thrills exactly :) [00:36] reptilian_thrills and thats a feature [00:36] DaemonFC Now that the Democrats have held onto the state Supreme Court (barely) they can uphold the Purge Law. [00:36] reptilian_thrills but also, its hard to oppress a workforce when theyre all armed [00:36] reptilian_thrills even if work is mandatory [00:36] DaemonFC And the one that disarms the victims (FOID). [00:36] reptilian_thrills because you can only push them hard enough that they dont start shooting at you [00:37] reptilian_thrills also, guns do things besides shoot people [00:38] MinceR guns don't shoot people [00:38] reptilian_thrills if everyone simply points one at a boss who is... frankly shit, [00:38] reptilian_thrills hey hi guns shoot people [00:38] MinceR people shoot bullets at people [00:38] MinceR with guns [00:39] reptilian_thrills "we... are dicks... and these guys... are assholes..." [00:39] MinceR keep firing, assholes! [00:39] reptilian_thrills if everyone simply points one at a boss who is... frankly shit, that boss may decide wisely to simply leave and not come back [00:40] reptilian_thrills he can explain to his superiors (or whomever) that he was replaced [00:41] reptilian_thrills if you go far enough left you get your guns back [00:41] reptilian_thrills or at least some of them [00:41] MinceR i just go toward the liberal/libertarian extreme [00:41] reptilian_thrills i tried that [00:42] reptilian_thrills you stop watching them for a few years most of them end up leaning fascist [00:42] reptilian_thrills or becoming marxist [00:42] MinceR don't stop watching, i guess [00:43] reptilian_thrills i mean im happy when the world has more people that actually care about freedom [00:43] reptilian_thrills its when they dont really care that i dont know what theyre good for [00:44] reptilian_thrills i tried to find libertarians that really care, im not saying they dont exist [00:44] reptilian_thrills i still know people who claim to be in that camp [00:44] reptilian_thrills you, leah, ariadne [00:44] reptilian_thrills im less sure there really is a camp [00:44] reptilian_thrills i know when i considered myself in it, i wasnt lying [00:45] reptilian_thrills but im not sure the camp i thought it was in really exists either [00:46] reptilian_thrills like most of the libertarians you knew at one point are probably hoping for some kind of ethnostate now [00:47] reptilian_thrills i dont know, im only that critical based on your description of hungary [00:47] reptilian_thrills and how familiar it sounds [00:47] reptilian_thrills it could be way different than that [00:48] reptilian_thrills when i was in europe i was hoping it would be more different than it was :/ [00:49] reptilian_thrills education is way better, i hear [00:49] reptilian_thrills and more affordable too [00:50] reptilian_thrills and the problems are similar, except better healthcare [00:51] reptilian_thrills everything still runs on oil, money and war [00:51] MinceR i've heard ethnostate fantasies from people, but i don't think i ever mistook them for a liberal/libertarian [00:51] reptilian_thrills i don't think i ever mistook them for a liberal/libertarian <- theyre not at all [00:51] reptilian_thrills somehow people get bored with freedom and the fascists recruit them [00:51] reptilian_thrills and youd think they would be smarter than that [00:52] reptilian_thrills but if everyone was smarter, there wouldnt be any fascists [00:52] reptilian_thrills maybe theyd stop supporting such nonsense. maybe theyd shoot them [00:52] reptilian_thrills either one would be an improvement [00:53] reptilian_thrills its certainly not something they teach in schools [00:54] reptilian_thrills "now, if you see a fascist, heres what you should do. first, make sure your gun is loaded..." [00:54] MinceR it would be nice to have a gun [00:54] MinceR but there are way too many fascists in hungary anyway [00:54] reptilian_thrills guns could help with that [00:54] MinceR yeah [00:55] MinceR and good armor, and a lot of ammo [00:55] reptilian_thrills and good planning [00:56] reptilian_thrills itll probably happen eventually. fuck knows when ofc [00:57] reptilian_thrills fascism like all authoritarianism, tends to make lots of promises [00:57] reptilian_thrills you cant argue with the promises, because its authoritarian [00:57] reptilian_thrills but eventually, enough people see the promises were bullshit [00:57] reptilian_thrills then the tide turns against the fascists. but like i said, fuck knows when [00:58] reptilian_thrills step 1: kill the darkies [00:58] reptilian_thrills step 2: ????? [00:58] reptilian_thrills step 3: run the country properly [00:58] MinceR the way i expect the tide to turn against the fascists is by 1) the fascists being the majority (probably already the case) and 2) the tide turns against all of humanity [00:58] MinceR (2) is coming [00:58] reptilian_thrills they get stuck on step 2. they often get stuck on step 1, because it pisses the world off [00:58] MinceR and the no one will be able to handle it [00:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 19.88 k/sec., IPFS upstream 86.38 average k/sec., average swarm size 0 ● Nov 12 [01:00] reptilian_thrills the premise of fawlty towers was based on a real hotel owner [01:00] reptilian_thrills who insisted he could run the hotel properly if it werent for the guests [01:00] reptilian_thrills the third reich ran on a much more extreme and elaborate version of that premise-- indeed all fascism does [01:02] MinceR :> [01:02] MinceR reminds me of MAV (hungarian state railway) [01:02] MinceR about whom it's often stated that they have five enemies [01:02] MinceR the four seasons and the passengers [01:02] reptilian_thrills greyhound (buses) are like that too [01:02] reptilian_thrills its like a gulag on wheels [01:03] MinceR BKK/BKV (the chucklefucks responsible for what would be public transport in budapest, if it worked) are similar [01:03] reptilian_thrills the nazi punchcard system was inspired by the american census [01:04] reptilian_thrills the american census in turn was inspired by actual railway cards... [01:04] reptilian_thrills before and after the third reich, transport was very close to home on this issue [01:04] MinceR s/the no/then no/ [01:04] reptilian_thrills what good is moving people from a to b if you cant make them entirely miserable while you do it [01:05] reptilian_thrills people would try to reuse tickets [01:05] MinceR and then they wonder why people prefer commuting in their own cars instead [01:05] reptilian_thrills so they punched cards for hair colour, eye colour, sex etc [01:05] reptilian_thrills so that if you got a card to reuse, it probably didnt match you anyway [01:06] reptilian_thrills and was thus useless [01:06] reptilian_thrills this inspired hollerith when he worked on the american census [01:06] reptilian_thrills then they wonder why people prefer commuting in their own cars instead <- dont they though [01:11] DaemonFC @BaronHK [01:11] DaemonFC @DunksDoneDaily I'd be worried about my personal info if I was ever on Twitter. [01:11] DaemonFC Long before Elon Musk and Saudis bought it, JWZ showed how an "employment background check" company printed out(!) like 500 pages of tweets that a candidate had ever made, liked, or replied to, and flagged them under "bad language", "violent", "drugs/alcohol", "sex", "gambling", and so on. [01:11] DaemonFC You don't need a court record to become unemployable anymore. You just need to have a Twitter record, that you created. [01:14] DaemonFC @BaronHK [01:14] DaemonFC It's kind of funny, how people "engage" on Twitter and there's some total parasite scraping it to rat on you to your boss. [01:14] DaemonFC They make it look like anyone who uses Twitter much is a chainsmoking, whoremongering, alcoholic, and a compulsive gambler, and then say they're too risky to hire. [01:14] DaemonFC Glad I'm not on Twitter. In a bad economy, let some PHB going through this shit DISQUALIFY someone else. [01:15] MinceR probably also applicable to the other crap like dumbFuckBook too [01:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated.

[01:20] DaemonFC I keep my liquid assets in a high interest online savings account and money I definitely won't need for a while in US Savings Bonds, Series I.

[01:20] reptilian_thrills fb breaks the rules about how to stay safe onlin [01:20] reptilian_thrills only the fsf warned people [01:21] reptilian_thrills the junkies were like ITS MY BODY ILL DO WHAT I WANT, COMMIES!

[01:33] DaemonFC They come here and they have no sense of the culture and are just turning it into San Francisco with bad weather. [01:33] DaemonFC Crime, high rent, etc. [01:33] DaemonFC One of the things they ruined was the food. [01:33] DaemonFC One of the best things about Chicago has always been the food, but the hipsters don't care for it and run those businesses out. [01:33] DaemonFC There's a cafeteria restaurant in Hyde Park that Obama liked that's very good. Hope it survives. [01:41] DaemonFC @BaronHK [01:41] DaemonFC @dr_g_e_e [01:41] DaemonFC Tesla owners are the absolute worst. Luckily, let the punishment fit the crime. They got a Tesla. [01:41] DaemonFC 3 years of Chicago winter and the bottom of it has things rusting and falling off. [01:41] DaemonFC There are old Nazi submarines that have been at the bottom of the ocean since 1943 that are less rusted. [01:41] DaemonFC Not that the Tesla had any sort of quality to it from the factory. [01:41] DaemonFC I forced one that was trying to cut me off onto the ramp to Indiana the other day.

I just spent too much time muting all the newly purchased checkmark accts in an attempt to make my verified mentions useful again, tweeted billionaire Mark Cuban. [02:05] DaemonFC Bottom line is that you have a decision to make, Cuban added. Stick with the new Twitter that democratizes every tweet by paid accounts and puts the onus on all users to curate for themselves. Or bring back Twitter curation.

[16:03] MinceR "coding" is what some people do at the hospital, isn't it? :> [16:03] reptilian_thrills of course the term came into heavy use for those horrible things that they pack applications into so they can run on a pseudo-proprietary, pseudo-libre platform like android (or worse, ios) [16:03] XRevan86 So there are two layers of ewness in this :) [16:03] reptilian_thrills no, thats oxy coding [16:04] MinceR :D [16:04] reptilian_thrills coding is a hell of a drug [16:04] MinceR "A method of communicating important medical information discreetly and quickly between medical professionals and responders.

"i know it when i see it" [22:30] reptilian_thrills the problem is that encyclopedias and dictionaries dont begin as authoritative sources [22:30] reptilian_thrills they gain a reputation after a while [22:30] reptilian_thrills but they start as just reporting whatever was available to them, within some kind of standard [22:31] reptilian_thrills the first dictionary started with a very broad survey [22:31] reptilian_thrills and thats what it was [22:31] reptilian_thrills so who decides what a word means? everybody, more or less [22:31] reptilian_thrills what anarchy [22:32] reptilian_thrills "the language anyone can edit" [22:32] reptilian_thrills and like with religion, if you try to challenge the authorities on language (like with religion, they are self-appointed) [22:33] reptilian_thrills they will kill you where you stand (or wait for you to die of boredom) [22:33] reptilian_thrills "these books demonstrate how to use english" [22:33] reptilian_thrills "whereas THESE books... do it incorrectly!" [22:34] reptilian_thrills to be fair, there are rules, there are even written rules [22:34] reptilian_thrills but the rules change anyway [22:34] reptilian_thrills same as religion (for the most part) [22:36] reptilian_thrills there have been several efforts, lasting centuries, to lump religions together peacefully like some kind of holy esperanto [22:37] reptilian_thrills some of them are more popular (even today) than esperanto, and many of them were incredibly influential on history [22:38] reptilian_thrills sadly, jews for jesus isnt one of them. thats just baptists being dicks. [22:38] MinceR they can coexist peacefully on the landfill of history [22:38] MinceR alongside humans, if humans can't let go of them. [22:39] reptilian_thrills yeah because humanity has evolved so far beyond religious thinking [22:39] reptilian_thrills indeed, religion is the sole thing holding them back... [22:39] reptilian_thrills (i certainly dont think so) [22:39] reptilian_thrills imo, when humanity evolves, most religion will too [22:39] reptilian_thrills youd think we would be too smart for it. maybe. [22:39] MinceR no, humanity needs to evolve beyond religious "thinking", if it is to survive [22:40] reptilian_thrills marx figured that if humanity was smarter, religion would just wither away and die without stupid people fighting over money. [22:40] reptilian_thrills without desperation, who needs jesus? [22:40] reptilian_thrills then later came people who were like "fuck waiting, lets get rid of religion and see if it makes people smarter!" [22:40] reptilian_thrills thats gone well [22:41] reptilian_thrills ive loved science since the first time i heard the word [22:41] starstreak OpenBSD needs element/matrix [22:41] reptilian_thrills but science doesnt give a shit what you do with your spare time [22:41] MinceR if humanity was smarter, they wouldn't have listened to marx either [22:41] reptilian_thrills or what your imagination is tethered to, as long as the experiment isnt tainted by it [22:42] MinceR religion does have a tendency to taint experiments [22:42] reptilian_thrills it doesnt have to [22:42] reptilian_thrills i mean, anything can taint an experiment if you dont factor it into the design [22:43] reptilian_thrills if you refuse to factor it into the experiment, then yes, religion can AND WILL taint an experiment [22:43] reptilian_thrills but it depends on the experiment [22:43] reptilian_thrills i mean, if youre pouring vinegar into baking soda, the same results happen for muslims, jews and scientologists [22:44] MinceR and they'll make up bullshit to explain it [22:44] reptilian_thrills because its just a basic (and acidic) chemical reaction [22:44] reptilian_thrills and they'll make up bullshit to explain it <- not if theyre trained in science and use the training [22:44] MinceR that training is going to conflict with their religion [22:44] MinceR and one of those things is going to win [22:44] reptilian_thrills there are plenty of accomplished jewish and muslim scientists [22:45] reptilian_thrills einstein might not count since he wasnt religious [22:45] MinceR and plenty of abrahamics pushing to destroy science and technology [22:45] MinceR except, of course, for the bit of technology they use to kill everyone who disagrees [22:45] reptilian_thrills pushing to destroy science and technology <- which really sounds like fundamentalism to me [22:45] reptilian_thrills its not a catch-all word [22:45] MinceR it is [22:45] reptilian_thrills it just happens to fit what those people are doing [22:45] reptilian_thrills so how many people are religious (billions) and how many are fundamentalist? (SO MANY LESS) [22:46] MinceR [citation needed] [22:46] reptilian_thrills and when you compare the two, blaming it on religion seems silly to me [22:46] reptilian_thrills the problem is fundamentalism [22:46] MinceR these allegedly non-fundamentalist people, will they abstain from voting for political parties that advertise themselves as being "good" adherents of the same religion as the voter? [22:47] reptilian_thrills OF COURSE! [22:47] reptilian_thrills even liberals do that [22:47] MinceR afaict there aren't many of them [22:47] MinceR and liberalism is especially dead [22:47] MinceR along with libertarianism (which is supposed to be the same thing anyway) [22:47] reptilian_thrills but its still an example of what youre asking if it exists/happens [22:48] MinceR > (SO MANY LESS) [22:48] MinceR this is the part i have doubts about [22:48] reptilian_thrills (which is supposed to be the same thing anyway) <- i mean lets not confuse classical libertarianism, which is closer to anarchism, with right libertarianism, with neoliberalism, with "liberal intellectuals" who claim to despise neoliberalism (even though they support a two party system which hardly is) [22:49] reptilian_thrills this is the part i have doubts about <- and your numbers arent worse than mine (we dont have any) [22:49] reptilian_thrills but i think its your outlook on humanity (imo) [22:49] reptilian_thrills ive had my own doubts [22:49] MinceR we can see the dominance of fundamentalist parties though [22:49] MinceR in europe and in north america [22:49] reptilian_thrills after bush stole the 2000 election i didnt even want to talk to a christian [22:49] reptilian_thrills i got over it [22:50] reptilian_thrills i dont think christians were the real problem there [22:50] MinceR i do think they are [22:50] reptilian_thrills fundamentalist christians are a major factor [22:50] MinceR sure, in theory, it's possible for a christian to resist all the hanging-on bullshit (fundamentalism, exceptionalism, fascism) [22:51] MinceR in practice, i can't find many who do [22:51] reptilian_thrills im guessing most christians are neither fundamentalists nor fascists [22:51] reptilian_thrills exceptionalism is hard. who doesnt think their fugly baby is the most beautiful one on earth? [22:52] MinceR who votes for EPP, ECR, ID and the GOP, then? [22:52] reptilian_thrills you could argue that the gop isnt really christian at all, but im not that ambitious [22:52] reptilian_thrills rather i think theres a simpler way out of that problem [22:52] MinceR i'd argue even the "democrats" are christian fundamentalists, just less loudly so [22:52] reptilian_thrills well both parties exist to pay homage to corporate rule [22:52] MinceR they both keep talking and writing about their "god" [22:52] reptilian_thrills both are a farce [22:53] reptilian_thrills and between the "two" they have a monopoly [22:53] reptilian_thrills so [22:53] MinceR and the megacorporations are cults too [22:53] reptilian_thrills oh without question [22:53] phanes never fall into the trap that a politician is guided by altruism or religious conviction [22:53] reptilian_thrills and some of the cults are corporations [22:53] reptilian_thrills like the mormons-- theyre a corporation [22:53] phanes none of them are, even those campaigning on those platforms [22:53] reptilian_thrills they even say so during services [22:53] MinceR i see no altruism in the religious blathering [22:53] phanes the ones that are actually driven by moral or religious conviction, or genuine altruism are assassinated [22:53] reptilian_thrills thats because altruism is a value [22:53] MinceR i see a lot of bullshit that seems to work on the majority [22:54] reptilian_thrills and most religions hijack values as their own [22:54] MinceR including in hungary [22:54] reptilian_thrills if you make the majority desperate enough (germany) [22:54] MinceR e.g. the way people are persuaded to take an interest in the genitals of others is usually religion [22:54] reptilian_thrills the majority will act like a mob [22:54] reptilian_thrills the way people are persuaded to take an interest in the genitals of others is usually religion <- <3 [22:55] reptilian_thrills or sometimes, self-hate [22:55] reptilian_thrills i think self-hate is overplayed (as an accusation) [22:55] reptilian_thrills to speak for people... [22:55] reptilian_thrills but its definitely a real thing [22:55] reptilian_thrills i really believe jk rowling wants to be a man [22:55] reptilian_thrills and thats why she hates trans people [22:55] MinceR ironic [22:56] reptilian_thrills well, think of all the anti-gay people who get found in public restrooms, etc [22:56] reptilian_thrills or having an affair with a man [22:57] reptilian_thrills i doubt most transphobes are self-hating trans people [22:57] reptilian_thrills but i absolutely think some are, and above any other example i think jk rowling must be [22:58] reptilian_thrills you could just call her joe rowling. but unless shes misgendering people i would think this is unfair [22:58] phanes i think you're projecting dynamics involving other marginalized groups onto the trans community [22:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 19.88 k/sec., IPFS upstream 86.38 average k/sec., average swarm size 0 [22:59] reptilian_thrills (im not totally against misgendering people who misgender first. though id be very strategic about whom to direct it at) [22:59] reptilian_thrills youd want to focus on the most egregious examples for the most part. and some wouldnt. [22:59] phanes that's a fabricated issue ● Nov 12 [23:00] phanes it's one of those issues that only exists as feigned damage to accentuate posturing as a victim [23:00] reptilian_thrills i recently considered using they/them to refer to stallman but after talking to him, decided his stance (while foolish) isnt egregious enough for that [23:01] reptilian_thrills i dont agree with him on this, and i still think hes being an idiot about they/them. its a grammatical nitpick based on misunderstanding a subgroup of a subgroup [23:01] reptilian_thrills still, the exchange was far less troubling than the article that prompted it [23:02] reptilian_thrills its partway him being unfair and refusing to know better, partway foolishly but innocently putting his foot in his mouth [23:02] reptilian_thrills but then foot in mouth jokes are low-hanging fruit where stallman is concerned [23:02] phanes what a non-issue [23:03] reptilian_thrills (i still think it was a hangnail, and people say worse because they want to) [23:03] phanes it's a distraction [23:03] phanes he should have just told everyone to fuck off and focus on the software and the licensing [23:03] reptilian_thrills id sooner eat a hangnail than a booger. though i wouldnt bother if it was from my foot... [23:04] MinceR strategic misgendering strike [23:04] phanes which is what i intend to do if i can /ever get a fuycking product out/ [23:04] phanes my coding session to release ratio is hilariously low [23:04] reptilian_thrills yeah, i dont think people would have too much fun with it because it would ultimately trigger more innocents than intended targets [23:04] MinceR no, he should told everyone to focus on the software, freedom and only then, licensing [23:05] MinceR he seems to believe that licensing magically fixes everything [23:05] phanes im just working too much [23:05] reptilian_thrills no, he should told everyone to focus on the software, freedom and only then, licensing <- s/he// [23:05] reptilian_thrills the problem is that pronouns come up constantly [23:05] reptilian_thrills so theres not much we can do to avoid them [23:05] reptilian_thrills other than not talk about people at all [23:05] phanes one of the problems is that i enjoy swimming in piles of money from my clients too much to build free software, so, it gets the free time when i feel like it and am not recovering from paid work [23:06] MinceR s/ld/ld have/ [23:06] reptilian_thrills he seems to believe that licensing magically fixes everything <- he didnt always [23:06] MinceR reptilian_thrills: maybe we should just learn Marain [23:06] reptilian_thrills and i wish it was just him [23:06] reptilian_thrills most of the movement at this point seems to think licensing magically fixes everything [23:06] reptilian_thrills 1. at best it gives you the freedom to fix it [23:06] reptilian_thrills 2. if you can find another way to hinder someone, it wont even do that [23:06] reptilian_thrills fsf fails both times with this [23:06] reptilian_thrills but they didnt always [23:07] reptilian_thrills and theres plenty of evidence. [23:07] reptilian_thrills my personal favourite is gpl3 [23:07] reptilian_thrills gpl didnt stop tivoisation. [23:07] phanes i dont think anyone intelligent thinks licensing is a magic bullet but it's the literal only legal tool available to free software that protects you from having to swipe your credit card every time you unlock your desktop [23:07] reptilian_thrills they had to upgrade the license before it could [23:07] reptilian_thrills tivoisation was a vulnerability. gpl3 was a patched version. [23:08] reptilian_thrills what other vulnerabilities are there? [23:08] reptilian_thrills 1. those are things corporations can do to hinder freedom [23:08] reptilian_thrills 2. licenses can fix some of those things... [23:08] reptilian_thrills similarly, you cant write software that fixes stupid users. [23:08] reptilian_thrills if theyre going to open executable attachments [23:08] reptilian_thrills or refuse to run updates [23:08] reptilian_thrills sooner or later, software cant fix stupid. [23:09] phanes the important software doesn't tailor to end users, it tailors to hosters of a platform or service to end users [23:09] reptilian_thrills and licenses cant fix evil. theyre ONE (even primary) tool to address non-free software [23:09] reptilian_thrills its true that open source has always downplayed them [23:09] reptilian_thrills its true they matter [23:09] reptilian_thrills its not true that they fix everything, and the fsf (and the movement) used to know that [23:10] reptilian_thrills one of the reasons we should learn more about free software history [23:10] reptilian_thrills is to try to piece together when and why people started thinking of licenses as the ultimate firewall [23:10] reptilian_thrills "oh! i cant get viruses. ive got the ultimate firewall!"

[23:35] MinceR another strawman [23:35] reptilian_thrills but he may have no idea what they did to stallman either [23:35] *MinceR sets fire to that one too [23:35] reptilian_thrills reptilian_thrills wouldn't be happy unless everyone ran openbsd and shunned anything on github <- well this is just ssilly [23:35] reptilian_thrills for one thing, ive said things recently and publicly (in this channel) that refute it directly [23:35] reptilian_thrills secondly, i can repeat them right now [23:36] reptilian_thrills i think its a good idea to try to boycott github. its obvious that a complete boycott is impossible [23:37] reptilian_thrills it should be obvious (but it isnt) that a complete boycott isnt necessary to effect change either [23:37] reptilian_thrills but even if i was the only person doing it [23:37] starstreak OpenBSD - you can't do anything without running startx [23:37] reptilian_thrills it would still aid me in documenting just how much shit github controls. [23:37] reptilian_thrills which is part of why i try [23:37] reptilian_thrills the other reason is, its my fucking computer and thats what i want. [23:37] MinceR i don't think i've ever run startx on openbsd [23:38] reptilian_thrills OpenBSD - you can't do anything without running startx <- lol ur high af [23:38] starstreak MinceR, i think i would take Roy's word for it [23:38] MinceR i don't think she's high, i think she's clueless [23:38] starstreak im drunk [23:38] reptilian_thrills i dont think shes clueless [23:38] reptilian_thrills i honestly think shes adorable [23:39] reptilian_thrills it wont make me use gnome again [23:39] reptilian_thrills other than gnome-image-viewer [23:39] reptilian_thrills (i renamed another image viewer as a joke) [23:39] reptilian_thrills im drunk <- aww :) [23:41] MinceR ethanol is bad for your nervous system [23:41] reptilian_thrills whats better? [23:41] MinceR caffeine and sugar, i suppose [23:42] reptilian_thrills hmm [23:42] reptilian_thrills /me tries to get drunk on those [23:42] reptilian_thrills it isnt working [23:42] reptilian_thrills maybe if i ferment a frappacino [23:43] reptilian_thrills and then learn how to suppress vomiting at all costs [23:43] MinceR fermenting would either produce ethanol, which is bad for your nervous system, or not get you drunk [23:44] MinceR or it would produce something even worse [23:44] MinceR like methanol [23:44] reptilian_thrills then caffeine and sugar isnt better, its just different [23:44] MinceR they enhance nervous system function [23:44] reptilian_thrills aha! [23:44] reptilian_thrills /mixes sugar, caffeiene and ethanol [23:44] reptilian_thrills problem solved! [23:44] MinceR lol [23:44] MinceR i think people have done that before [23:44] reptilian_thrills i know i have [23:45] starstreak alcohola, malt liquor and caffeine, its one janky ass drink [23:45] reptilian_thrills ive never had malt liquor [23:46] reptilian_thrills ive had canadian mist, and i wrote to geneva to launch an inquiry [23:46] reptilian_thrills ive had canadian alcohol thats good [23:46] reptilian_thrills canada makes plenty of good alcohol [23:46] starstreak snitches get stiches [23:46] reptilian_thrills canadian mist isnt an example of this [23:46] reptilian_thrills snitches get stiches <- christ youre cute [23:46] starstreak :) [23:47] MinceR i thought christ was male [23:47] MinceR in the fable, i mean [23:47] reptilian_thrills i thought christ was male <- to be fair, starstreak once thought she was too [23:47] reptilian_thrills imagine how surprised the baptists would be! [23:48] MinceR are the baptists capable of perceiving reality to the extent that it becomes capable of surprising them? [23:48] reptilian_thrills jesus is back-- and shes a woman! [23:48] *zxrom (~kats@freenode-vhg.f7g.kkmm6t.IP) has joined #techrights [23:48] reptilian_thrills baptists: its the end of the world! [23:48] reptilian_thrills jesus: duh? [23:49] reptilian_thrills twitter: #convertingnow [23:49] reptilian_thrills are the baptists capable of perceiving reality to the extent that it becomes capable of surprising them? <- are you kidding, they tend to be shocked on a daily basis by it [23:50] reptilian_thrills at least she wont have to wait for her hair to grow out [23:50] reptilian_thrills "and these stigmata are perfect for holding onto my purse on the subway!" [23:51] reptilian_thrills "jesus, let go, lady!" [23:51] reptilian_thrills jesus: hehehe! [23:53] reptilian_thrills "forgive them father, its obviously the testosterone!" [23:54] reptilian_thrills even genesis makes you wonder if adam was intersex before he transitioned to binary [23:54] MinceR "I eat Green Berets for breakfast, and right now I am......very hungry!" "I can't believe this macho bullshit!" [23:55] *MinceR transitions adam to ternary [23:55] reptilian_thrills adam he/him [23:55] reptilian_thrills eve she/her (mtf) [23:55] phanes i wonder what the connotations would be if during the second coming jeebus came back as a woman in a man's body [23:55] MinceR schism? [23:55] reptilian_thrills im not saying eve is trans [23:55] phanes and had to undergo confirmation surgery [23:56] reptilian_thrills just that she was male at birth [23:56] reptilian_thrills or whatever, bibles are fun [23:56] reptilian_thrills adam might be trans too, idk [23:56] phanes reptilian_thrills, not if you view "the rib" as "an extension of his spine" and the spine as "part of the structure of adam" [23:57] phanes genesis reads in a really weird way when you mix "probably an allegory" and "potentially full of hidden engineering specifications" [23:58] phanes especially if you try to read kabballist or hermetic precanon context into it [23:58] phanes don't even get me started on the gnostics either
