[03:11]	DaemonFC	Yeah, Airbnb, the app that lets homophobes and racists deny accommodation to people.
[03:11]	DaemonFC	They don't fall under the Illinois Human Rights Act or other laws because they're not hotels.
[03:11]	DaemonFC	I'm sure she'll make an excellent CEO of Mozilla and bring a bunch of diversity and inclusion there.

[03:12]		*Noisytoot (~noisytoot@tkbibjhmbkvb8.irc) has joined #techrights
[03:13]	DaemonFC	Gay people who don't know what Airbnb really is end up having to book a hotel room at the last minute after they get off a plane and rent a car and drive all the way there because the owner of the house says "Oh, I didn't know it would be two men!" and slams the door and cancels the listing. And Airbnb is one of those California "Can't do anything to us! We're just an app!" things.
[03:14]	DaemonFC	The Illinois Human Rights Commission ended up awarding two gay men who weren't allowed to have a wedding ceremony a bed and breakfast.
[03:14]	DaemonFC	The day before they were going to seize the deed and hand it over, the owner paid $100,000.
[03:15]	DaemonFC	But then the US Supreme Court gutted laws like this when they ruled in favor of the Colorado bakery.
[03:15]	DaemonFC	So if the guy had been able to fend them off another few months he wouldn't have had to pay them anything.

[03:17]	schestowitz	You and I are on the same page here.
[03:17]	schestowitz	To be as generous as I can, I will point out that Google used its search monopoly to relentlessly promote their browser over Firefox. Likewise Apple makes it hard to avoid Safari on iOS. And Microsoft has been dialing up the attacks on other browsers embedded into Windows. In a fight against those juggernauts, maybe Firefox was doomed no matter what anyone did.
[03:17]	schestowitz	And I think Mozilla had to accept the hundreds of millions from Google because nobody else was offering.
[03:17]	schestowitz	But why would an executives compensation keep ramping up while their companys flagship product market share falls off a cliff?

[04:24]	DaemonFC	Chrome? I don't use Chrome."
[04:24]	DaemonFC	[...]
[04:24]	schestowitz	you gave me context now
[04:24]	DaemonFC	"They wanted him to go out and buy Microsoft Office so I just installed LibreOffice. Not Debian's because it's so old, but the ones directly from The Document Foundation.
[04:24]	DaemonFC	On my computer, I'm using Debian 12 and SeaMonkey and Brave. Brave with all the crypto-shit off and the shields way up is compatible with Chrome but you don't have to worry about ad blocking and how Google is sabotaging it and putting in features that undermine your privacy (like Privacy Sandbox, formerly known as FLoC).
[04:24]	DaemonFC	Google is and advertising company, so not good.
[04:24]	DaemonFC	I also have Pale Moon, but like SeaMonkey, it's diverged too much from "modern" engines with all sorts of Google shit in them. I can mostly browse with SeaMonkey with uBo-legacy and NoScript (the old XUL version), but it doesn't work with some of my banks or the electric company. I didn't want to go back to paper statements from ComEd because too much shit just gets stolen from the mail and...
[04:24]	DaemonFC	...God help you if the crackhead that goes around jacking open the mailboxes gets your electric bill because they'll just pretend to be you and sign up with some scam power company fro a $50 gift card and buy more crack or smack or fentanyl or whatever it is they plan to overdose on and have someone at the library revive them so they can smoke some more a few minutes later and die again, to...
[04:24]	DaemonFC	...be revived with another $50 kit.
[04:24]	DaemonFC	It's a nasty world, isn't it?"
[04:25]	DaemonFC	I was talking about Mandy's Chromebook and how I put Debian and various software on it, and he doesn't even use Chrome on it.
[04:25]	schestowitz	Debian?
[04:25]	schestowitz	not really Debian
[04:25]	schestowitz	probably crostini
[04:25]	DaemonFC	It is, but it's in a container.
[04:25]	schestowitz	even crouton is more Debian than this
[04:26]	schestowitz	the master OS is always ChromeOS
[04:26]	schestowitz	in the past you can take that out
[04:26]	schestowitz	they made that a lot harder later
[04:26]	schestowitz	with SeaBIOS being locked, IIRC
[04:26]	DaemonFC	schestowitz The government appears to see druggies as more consumers.
[04:26]	schestowitz	and you need to change the bootloader too
[04:26]	schestowitz	or it takes over
[04:26]	DaemonFC	They keep getting revived with Narcan.
[04:26]	DaemonFC	And then they don't care that they DIED.
[04:26]	DaemonFC	They go die again.
[04:26]	DaemonFC	And MOAR Narcan.
[04:26]	schestowitz	the gov does the legalised ones
[04:26]	schestowitz	like sackler co.
[04:27]	schestowitz	so why not do some "off the record" too?
[04:27]	schestowitz	it helps "kill the weak"
[04:27]	schestowitz	with ODs
[04:27]	schestowitz	except with muggings they:
[04:27]	schestowitz	1) become burden on the system   (jail, courts, businesses)
[04:28]	schestowitz	2) turn against law-abiding people
[04:28]	schestowitz	so it is a poor strategy

[05:06]	DaemonFC	schestowitz So what about Brian AKA Dayna AKA Bunny?
[05:06]	DaemonFC	:)
[05:07]	DaemonFC	Brian from Cleveland made good (financially anyway).
[05:17]	DaemonFC	schestowitz I was laughing at BunBun to my dad.
[05:18]	DaemonFC	I said if I had that much I'd just invest it and live off the interest, and here BunBun is getting in trouble over delinquent credit card or something.
[05:18]	DaemonFC	As soon as the fad of DEI nonsense is over with, BunBun will probably end up bankrupt in fairly short order.
[05:19]	DaemonFC	You know it never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can fritter away more money than I'll ever see in my life. More than I would see if I lived 1,000 years.
[05:19]	DaemonFC	They just throw it away and file bankruptcy for the fourth time, like my cousins.
[05:20]	DaemonFC	schestowitz As far as I can tell, this company is not set up as a not for profit.
[05:21]	darwin	mozilla fired 60 people as they probably upped do-nothing administration salary/bonuses like huge/inter-/multi-/trans-national corporations
[05:21]	DaemonFC	It's incorporated as for-profit and it makes it sound like it's doing "good", but like, it's just a bunch of bullshit and they trawl this person out to say dumb shit for a lot of money.
[05:21]	DaemonFC	schestowitz Do you want me to ask IDOR if I can have a copy of MMG Earth's corporate tax filing?
[05:22]	DaemonFC	it would at least let us see what they're telling the State, if they'll hand it over.

[09:23]	DaemonFC	:)
[09:24]	DaemonFC	The guy that already answered it is right.
[09:24]	DaemonFC	The landlord could run off with it. If you have to break the lease, they already have everything and you're in no position to negotiate.
[09:24]	DaemonFC	And they have less incentive to fix anything to keep you happy.
[09:25]	DaemonFC	The landlord I have waited to fix my bathroom until I'd been nagging him for months and was starting to float the possibility of just doing it myself and deducting my expenses.
[09:25]	DaemonFC	Which you are entitled to do after giving the landlord 60 days. It had been considerably longer.
[09:26]	DaemonFC	The landlord does it, he knows what he'll pay. If you have to take a Saturday and do it yourself and deduct it, you get to deduct a reasonable amount of time at the state's minimum wage plus whatever materials you bought.
[09:26]	DaemonFC	Which might be more expensive than what he would use.
[09:27]	DaemonFC	The law allows you to pay yourself minimum wage via a rent deduction on the theory that the landlord shouldn't have an incentive not to hire someone since you are paying him and he should be maintaining the unit.

[21:35]	DaemonFC	This may be a dumb question but cant I just take out a large personal loan with <5% interest, put it in the CD, and pay it back at the end? Sure Ill lose whatever the interest is but its still something at the end.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	Would your credit score take a hit for opening the loan account if you pay it on time?
[21:35]	DaemonFC	---
[21:36]	DaemonFC	If you can get 5% and you can write an access check at a 2-3% fee and 0% interest for a couple years on a new credit card, you can take the balance transfer check, write it to yourself, and deposit it in a CD. Just have the CD mature in time to pay back the loan.
[21:36]	DaemonFC	Also, there will be minimum payments (with no interest) on the balance transfer check, but you can park the money you'll need for the minimums in a money market savings and still make 4.5%.

[21:54]	DaemonFC	MinceR: The CSS support in SeaMonkey will be a bigger pain point than anything eventually.
[21:54]	DaemonFC	The forks are going to have to share homework on that one to keep adding CSS features in C++.
[21:55]	DaemonFC	They all seem adamant about not switching to the Rust version.
[21:56]	DaemonFC	So there's a few things that can happen here. (1) it falls behind more and more, (2) Pale Moon, SeaMonkey, and Waterfox Classic share patches to keep it more modern, (3) they give up and use the Rust version, or (4) they hack in shims written in JavaScript that achieve the missing support that way.
[21:56]	DaemonFC	None of those are good.
[21:57]	DaemonFC	I used to like the Cascading Style Sheets specification when it was the one written by Opera.
[21:57]	DaemonFC	They designed it to make it easy to apply and write these things and yet fit into a browser that didn't take 500 MB per tab.
[21:59]	MinceR	avoiding rust is a good idea anyway
[21:59]	DaemonFC	The other competing specification was JavaScript Style Sheets from Netscape, which required JavaScript to be enabled or else the site just scrambled itself. They never added CSS support to Netscape 4, just a translator, which is why CSS level 1 didn't work without JavaScript on.
[21:59]	DaemonFC	There's some Rust in SeaMonkey but they've kept is as little as possible.

[22:06]	TR Bot	 Tax refunds are almost 29% smaller this year, early IRS data shows
[22:06]	DaemonFC	"Smaller refunds could be a blow for some households that rely on this windfall to shore up their financial position."
[22:07]	DaemonFC	Tax refunds are not a windfall. They're a refund from overpaying your taxes and giving the government an interest-free loan.
[22:07]	DaemonFC	If you're getting more than a few hundred dollars, you need to adjust to withhold less.
[22:07]	DaemonFC	Save the money in an interest-bearing account.
[22:08]	DaemonFC	The IRS doesn't give people interest-free loans. It charges you like 5% interest (on top of penalties you may also get) for unpaid taxes. And the amount you owe goes up every single day.
[22:08]		*wallacer has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[22:08]	DaemonFC	Why would you give the IRS a zero interest loan?
[22:09]	DaemonFC	If you owe them $5,000 for example, you'd just keep getting whacked with interest until they get it. If you don't pay them at all for a year you'd just owe $250 interest as well.
[22:09]		*wallacer (~quassel@8k53v3b3bgq6i.irc) has joined #techrights
[22:09]	DaemonFC	But that's the least of the problems for people who end up owing them because it's never just the interest. They usually rack up penalties, and then the penalties rack up interest.
[22:10]	DaemonFC	The government is fucking nasty.
[22:11]	DaemonFC	If you're getting back $1,500 tax refunds then you're wrong. You're giving them a loan you should have earned over $70 interest on yourself.
[22:11]	DaemonFC	But you gave it to them and other people did, and the government got an interest free loan instead of borrowing money at interest to lob cruise missiles at people and study pigeons on crack having risky sex.

[22:14]	MinceR	well, if the USians did it right, those people wouldn't be able to retaliate
[22:14]	MinceR	because they would be dead
[22:14]	DaemonFC	If you reduce it to this it means embarrassing losses are less common.
[22:17]	DaemonFC	MinceR: Almost everything the US destroys with this spat with the Houthis is worth less than the cost of destroying it.

[22:20]	TR Bot	 Dave Ramsey Calls Out A 61-Year-Old With 'No Money' 'Broke People Don't Have $26,000 Tractors'
[22:21]	DaemonFC	"He stated, "If I'm in your mode I'm so scared I'm going crazy...I'm selling the tractor, I'm selling the car, I'm going to get a two-thousand dollar car. I'm going to work like a crazy person.""
[22:21]	DaemonFC	Dave Ramsey, financial expert, lives in the year 2003 where you can buy a reliable clunker for only $2,000.
[22:21]	DaemonFC	:)
[22:21]	MinceR	and he'd do farm work without tools
[22:21]	MinceR	like a crazy person, indeed
[22:22]	DaemonFC	Back then you could get a 7-8 year old Chevy or Ford with maybe 80,000 miles on it for $2,000.
[22:22]	DaemonFC	It would run fine for years with minimal upkeep.
[22:22]	DaemonFC	Those days are gone.
[22:22]	DaemonFC	Today you'll get a 14-15 year old car with a lot of problems and some rust and pay $6,000-7,000 for it.
[22:22]	DaemonFC	Ramsey shows how out of touch he is here. Big time.
[22:23]	DaemonFC	MinceR: Boomer Brain, living on another planet, has the best advice for other people.
[22:23]	DaemonFC	:)
[22:24]	MinceR	:>
[22:24]	DaemonFC	He also says don't use credit cards. He says you don't need a credit score. He says a lot of dumb things.
[22:24]	DaemonFC	If you use the cards and pay them right back, you never pay interest. You make another several hundred a year tax free for sliding a different card.
[22:24]	DaemonFC	So that's bad advice if you're talking to a person who can manage it.
[22:25]	DaemonFC	Saying you don't need a credit rating, and then saying you can somehow get a good rate on a 15 year mortgage without a credit score is more excellent advice from him.
[22:25]	DaemonFC	:)
[22:25]	DaemonFC	MinceR: If you walk in without a credit score, no 15 year mortgage. If you walk in with a 600, you may get the loan, but you'll pay thousands of dollars more interest than if you had a 750 or more.
[22:26]	DaemonFC	The banks price your default risk at the time they originate the loan.
[22:26]	DaemonFC	If you have a decent credit score the day you get the loan approval, it saves you money for the duration of the mortgage. Even if your credit score turns to shit the very next day.
[22:26]	MinceR	i'm not sure if that works here the way it works in the USA
[22:26]	MinceR	afaik credit cards are pretty rare here
[22:27]	DaemonFC	Making absolute statements about finances like this shows the guy is a quack.
[22:27]	DaemonFC	Never use credit cards, even if you're running them in reverse so the bank pays you.
[22:27]	DaemonFC	Find a car that costs $2,000.....don't worry that those don't exist anymore.
[22:27]	DaemonFC	Get a 15 year mortgage, but without a FICO score.
[22:27]	DaemonFC	:)
[22:27]	MinceR	"Only a Sith deals in absolutes."
[22:28]	DaemonFC	Sell your farm tractor so you won't be able to run your farm and generate any income ever again. Even if you sell the tractor at a loss!
[22:28]	DaemonFC	:D
[22:29]	DaemonFC	MinceR: It'll bring in $20,000 one time and you can buy a bullet and rent a gun with that much money thanks to Bonehead Biden and his hyperinflation.
[22:29]	DaemonFC	$100 isn't even a week's worth of groceries anymore.
[22:29]	DaemonFC	A shitty apartment with rotting wood, mold, and stuck windows (like mine) is over $1,000.
[22:30]	DaemonFC	Bonehead and his Fake News Media think they'll make people believe this is prosperity if they just write it enough times.
[22:30]	DaemonFC	Like schestowitz said, this makes people even angrier.
[22:31]	DaemonFC	When my parents had a two story house with an attached garage and more than 3/4ths of an acre of land around it, they were paying a $450 a month mortgage.
[22:31]	DaemonFC	And the property taxes were $350 a YEAR.
[22:31]	DaemonFC	And it was only 30 years ago.

[22:32]	DaemonFC	Even if you believe that things have only doubled in cost since then, why am I paying almost $1100 a month for a shit apartment without any exclusive land use and with crackheads breaking in and pissing and sleeping in the laundry rooms, with the busted laundry machines.
[22:32]	DaemonFC	Does not compute.
[22:33]	DaemonFC	MinceR: My dad said he had it hard. He did, for a while. But by his mid 20s he was fine.
[22:33]	DaemonFC	I'm getting it worse in my 40s than he was at any point of his adult life.
[22:34]	DaemonFC	To get it worse, you'd have to go back to when his dad was drinking his GM paychecks and they had dinner sometimes if it was something my grandfather shot or pulled out of a river.
[22:34]	DaemonFC	MinceR: My paternal grandfather was such a loser that he did that and then to have corn he'd send his kids into a field to steal it and throw it in the trunk in the night.
[22:35]	DaemonFC	Nobody who worked at GM should have done things like that.

[22:39]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I got one of those cans of stuff written in German.
[22:39]	DaemonFC	It loosely translates to pour this in your crankcase and drive 122 miles and change the oil and it'll work out some of the sludge.
[22:39]	DaemonFC	Had to resort to importing it because they don't sell it here.
[22:40]	DaemonFC	It says don't drive the car really hard while the stuff is in the engine because it will slightly thin the oil.
[22:41]	DaemonFC	I saw some people on YouTube using this in various older American cars.
