DaemonFC[m] | <MinceR "DaemonFC: samsung phones really "> Nope. Since they added Microsoft crap and then T-Mobile tweaked it to demand your location for "analytics" even when you told it no. | Jan 16 00:00 |

MinceR | :> | Jan 16 00:00 |
schestowitz | [23:59] <MinceR> the ability to comment has already disappeared from many sites | Jan 16 00:01 |
schestowitz | Jan 16 00:01 | |
schestowitz | high-profile people block comments | Jan 16 00:01 |
schestowitz | Twitter gives them that option | Jan 16 00:01 |
schestowitz | even if they have publicly accessible accounts (to all) | Jan 16 00:01 |
DaemonFC[m] | There's this thing called Google Location Accuracy which "improves" your location using wifi and Bluetooth, but if you don't turn it off, it starts demanding bluetooth and wifi to be turned on with a tray notification ever time I go into my apartment. | Jan 16 00:01 |
schestowitz | they want to control how their lies are seen | Jan 16 00:01 |
MinceR | CrystalMath: basically, companies aren't going to risk their hides for anyone and authoritarians (of which we have a huge surplus) are going to insist on being able to punish someone when content that offends them gets posted | Jan 16 00:01 |
DaemonFC[m] | I didn't even figure out how to make that stop until just now. | Jan 16 00:01 |
DaemonFC[m] | <MinceR "CrystalMath: basically, companie"> The far-right is pissed because THEY are on the receiving end, not the giving end, of the apparatus. | Jan 16 00:02 |
DaemonFC[m] | If that ever changed they'd drop the pretense of caring about free speech. | Jan 16 00:02 |

schestowitz | stop carrying those shitty devices | Jan 16 00:03 |
schestowitz | please | Jan 16 00:03 |
schestowitz | AND | Jan 16 00:03 |
schestowitz | tell other people to do the same | Jan 16 00:03 |
DaemonFC[m] | You think they want a free speech platform that gives progressives a platform? Parler said unmoderated and then when progressives came and started posting, they all got thrown off and banned. | Jan 16 00:03 |
schestowitz | because their tracking devices are used to also track people nearby | Jan 16 00:03 |
MinceR | schestowitz: how am i supposed to access the Internet? | Jan 16 00:03 |
schestowitz | laptop maybe | Jan 16 00:03 |
MinceR | and how is that laptop going to connect to the network? | Jan 16 00:03 |
CrystalMath | schestowitz: i have a nokia 3310 from 2000 | Jan 16 00:03 |
CrystalMath | am i safe? | Jan 16 00:03 |
schestowitz | the laptops doesn't talk to the towers all the time | Jan 16 00:04 |
DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: A free speech app is all the "news" says about Parler, without mentioning that they threw progressives off for saying things like the minimum wage should be higher. | Jan 16 00:04 |
CrystalMath | i keep the phone mostly at home | Jan 16 00:04 |
MinceR | schestowitz: they do if they use a cellular network | Jan 16 00:04 |
DaemonFC[m] | They nipped it in the bud because all they want is QAnon on there. | Jan 16 00:04 |
schestowitz | CrystalMath: not for location tracking | Jan 16 00:04 |
CrystalMath | DaemonFC[m]: yeah parleri s very anti-free speech | Jan 16 00:04 |
CrystalMath | schestowitz: my SIM card is anonymous | Jan 16 00:04 |
MinceR | DaemonFC[m]: ah, "free speech" | Jan 16 00:04 |
schestowitz | CrystalMath: then you greatly minimise the downsides | Jan 16 00:04 |
DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Some shady people who incorporated in Nevada. | Jan 16 00:05 |
MinceR | schestowitz: also, having the cellular chip built right into the laptop likely exposes the laptop to security holes | Jan 16 00:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | Won't even tell people who really owns it. | Jan 16 00:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | Wants your driver's license and Social Security cards. | Jan 16 00:05 |
schestowitz | [00:04] <CrystalMath> schestowitz: my SIM card is anonymous | Jan 16 00:05 |
schestowitz | won't help | Jan 16 00:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | And they leaked those too in the end. | Jan 16 00:05 |
schestowitz | even if you top up with cash | Jan 16 00:05 |
schestowitz | they can see where it's homed | Jan 16 00:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | Even though they said they deleted it after verification. | Jan 16 00:05 |
CrystalMath | it's prepaid and i pay with cash ofc | Jan 16 00:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: People lie, you know. | Jan 16 00:05 |
schestowitz | so the signals agencies know who owns the device | Jan 16 00:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | If they say you can't know who owns the company, why would you send them that kind of ID? | Jan 16 00:06 |
CrystalMath | schestowitz: i doubt triangulation is that precise | Jan 16 00:06 |
psydroid | they can link it to your home address | Jan 16 00:06 |
DaemonFC[m] | No wonder the FBI keeps filing 100 new charges per day from the Capitol riot. | Jan 16 00:06 |
*psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jan 16 00:06 | |
DaemonFC[m] | Most of them were on Parler and doxxed themselves. | Jan 16 00:06 |
schestowitz | CrystalMath: depends | Jan 16 00:06 |
DaemonFC[m] | Complete with their driver's license. | Jan 16 00:06 |
schestowitz | maybe not in Serbia (Was it?) | Jan 16 00:06 |
CrystalMath | serbia, but like, the question is how precise is triangulation | Jan 16 00:07 |
schestowitz | here I checked and where we live they approximate about 1-2 meters range | Jan 16 00:07 |
schestowitz | maybe near a tower they can do sub-meter | Jan 16 00:07 |
CrystalMath | even a meter off could be beyond the limits of my property | Jan 16 00:07 |
CrystalMath | because of where i keep it | Jan 16 00:07 |
CrystalMath | 2 would already be very ambiguous | Jan 16 00:07 |
schestowitz | I often wonder about altitudes | Jan 16 00:07 |
CrystalMath | that too, is very important | Jan 16 00:08 |
schestowitz | like in apartment buildings. As the towers are now spread high up | Jan 16 00:08 |
schestowitz | they are spread horizontally, not vertically | Jan 16 00:08 |
DaemonFC[m] | https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/15/politics/pentagon-national-guard-inauguration/index.html | Jan 16 00:08 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Pentagon authorizes 25,000 National Guard members for inauguration - CNNPolitics | Jan 16 00:08 | |
MinceR | if they really wanted, they could use mobile antennas to triangulate your device | Jan 16 00:08 |
schestowitz | so in large building it's expensive to figure out, based on voices, who's who | Jan 16 00:08 |
schestowitz | but they can figure it out based on who you phone | Jan 16 00:08 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: They sent in 5,000 _more_. Total 25,000 troops on the ground in DC now. | Jan 16 00:08 |
CrystalMath | schestowitz: yeah that would be easy then | Jan 16 00:08 |
schestowitz | "mom", "dad", "boss", "colleague" | Jan 16 00:09 |
CrystalMath | by whom i phone, with this SIM | Jan 16 00:09 |
CrystalMath | it's very easy to tell a lot about me | Jan 16 00:09 |
DaemonFC[m] | There's a standing army encamped in DC because of QAnon at the moment. | Jan 16 00:09 |
schestowitz | that can be automated and matched up against databases with social and family graphs | Jan 16 00:09 |
CrystalMath | like who i am and where i work | Jan 16 00:09 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's time to admit that this was allowed to get way out of hand. | Jan 16 00:09 |
CrystalMath | schestowitz: but i don't take that phone with me much | Jan 16 00:09 |
schestowitz | but you phone people | Jan 16 00:09 |
CrystalMath | sure, from the landline as well | Jan 16 00:09 |
schestowitz | and you are on some people's address books | Jan 16 00:09 |
schestowitz | which go to "the clown" | Jan 16 00:09 |
schestowitz | Google etc. | Jan 16 00:09 |
schestowitz | some "Apps" like Skype take those address books | Jan 16 00:10 |
schestowitz | or call history | Jan 16 00:10 |
schestowitz | hoovering them up when you press OK upon install | Jan 16 00:10 |
schestowitz | "yeah, yeah... whatever... I accept" | Jan 16 00:10 |
CrystalMath | well i think getting away from that would be way more difficult | Jan 16 00:10 |
CrystalMath | at least i managed to reduce the surveillance to 2000s levels | Jan 16 00:10 |
schestowitz | nothing is easy | Jan 16 00:10 |
schestowitz | I don't talk personal things on the phone | Jan 16 00:11 |

schestowitz | it's not news | Jan 16 00:12 |
schestowitz | it's tribal crap | Jan 16 00:12 |

DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Yes, "Betty" sat in her house alone and watching CNN, Fox, and the 700 Club all day. | Jan 16 00:13 |

DaemonFC[m] | Dicey investment given that they are teetering on bankruptcy and gift cards make you an unsecured creditor. | Jan 16 00:16 |

CrystalMath | nothing wrong with casinos | Jan 16 00:21 |
CrystalMath | over here casinos are freaking everywhere, and the only non-essential businesses that were open every second of 2020 | Jan 16 00:21 |
schestowitz | the biggest casino is still "in business" | Jan 16 00:21 |
schestowitz | wall street | Jan 16 00:21 |
CrystalMath | casinos are essential | Jan 16 00:21 |
schestowitz | for covid | Jan 16 00:22 |
CrystalMath | :P | Jan 16 00:22 |
schestowitz | people touching cards and handles | Jan 16 00:22 |
schestowitz | and for what? a game? | Jan 16 00:22 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Mandy asked why there was pepper spray on the counter. | Jan 16 00:22 |
DaemonFC[m] | I told him I had to go into the courthouse to vote. | Jan 16 00:22 |
DaemonFC[m] | He asks didn't we just have an election. | Jan 16 00:22 |
schestowitz | local | Jan 16 00:23 |
DaemonFC[m] | I told him yes, and this is so stupid, but we have to do the local ones on odd years just a few months later. | Jan 16 00:23 |
schestowitz | I wonder how we'll vote this year for the Council | Jan 16 00:23 |
schestowitz | different things | Jan 16 00:23 |
schestowitz | fire services, police, roadwork | Jan 16 00:23 |
DaemonFC[m] | I voted to throw out Mr. Sexual Harassment ICE Collaborator (Sam Cunningham). | Jan 16 00:23 |
DaemonFC[m] | Replace him with a big block Mexican guy. | Jan 16 00:24 |
CrystalMath | but in general i support casinos | Jan 16 00:24 |
schestowitz | seems Manchester does better now against COVID spread | Jan 16 00:24 |
CrystalMath | like, the idea | Jan 16 00:24 |
schestowitz | one in 200 has it | Jan 16 00:24 |
schestowitz | based on testing anyway | Jan 16 00:24 |
schestowitz | sans extrapolation | Jan 16 00:24 |
schestowitz | so those would be the ones showing symptoms, I guess | Jan 16 00:24 |
DaemonFC[m] | Even if the sexual harassment allegation is untrue, the ICE collaboration was confirmed, and when it was made public he had the cop that was in charge of that resign. | Jan 16 00:25 |
schestowitz | we're in no rush to get tested, which is safer and likely more effective than the 'vaccine' | Jan 16 00:25 |
schestowitz | I reckon we don't have it | Jan 16 00:25 |
schestowitz | and not the antibodies either | Jan 16 00:25 |
schestowitz | i.e. did not have it before | Jan 16 00:25 |
DaemonFC[m] | But........As mayor, he's responsible for the police department. They couldn't have made that decision on their own. And it's not even legal to work with ICE here. | Jan 16 00:25 |
schestowitz | it'll get harder to avoid it over time | Jan 16 00:25 |
DaemonFC[m] | Yes, because it's turned into an avalanche. | Jan 16 00:26 |
schestowitz | quadratic growth | Jan 16 00:26 |
schestowitz | worse than in March | Jan 16 00:26 |
DaemonFC[m] | With 10 million new cases this month and 16 million next month and 25 million the month later. | Jan 16 00:26 |
schestowitz | you can tell by the piles of death people | Jan 16 00:26 |
schestowitz | we broke the record this month | Jan 16 00:26 |
DaemonFC[m] | It took us 9 months to get to 20 million I think. | Jan 16 00:27 |
schestowitz | we're at over 3 milion now | Jan 16 00:27 |
DaemonFC[m] | Then there will be 40 million by the end of this month. | Jan 16 00:27 |
schestowitz | that's about as many as receive Dose One (TM) from Viagra Company(TM) | Jan 16 00:27 |
DaemonFC[m] | So it only takes 2 months to do what the past 9 months total did, and if you think the hospitals are full now, guess what it'll look like at the end of next month. | Jan 16 00:27 |
schestowitz | so covid spreads faster, on average, than the jabs | Jan 16 00:28 |
schestowitz | outpacing the clinical trials | Jan 16 00:28 |
DaemonFC[m] | But thanks to USCIS, we have to go to Chicago in the middle of this and have Immigration go over our bank records and wedding pictures and ask us what brand of toothpaste we use. | Jan 16 00:28 |
schestowitz | which have yet to prove any positive effect, or significant effecr | Jan 16 00:28 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: that overlooks the greater issue | Jan 16 00:28 |
schestowitz | not how many are ful | Jan 16 00:28 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: It'll probably be like the trustee thing at the bk court. | Jan 16 00:28 |
schestowitz | but the TYPES of patients | Jan 16 00:29 |
schestowitz | they turn away many people | Jan 16 00:29 |
DaemonFC[m] | Mom is right about this stuff at least. It's stupid, but just play the game. | Jan 16 00:29 |
schestowitz | even those who need screenings, bed, nurse oversight | Jan 16 00:29 |
DaemonFC[m] | They've had COVID in the facility where she works a few times but by dumb luck, no major outbreak. | Jan 16 00:29 |
schestowitz | maybe because they prayed | Jan 16 00:30 |
DaemonFC[m] | Most nursing homes in Indiana where it gets in, that's in man. Game over man. Game over! | Jan 16 00:30 |
DaemonFC[m] | But these idiots who run the facility just let all these other idiots that work there walk around with their masks under their noses. | Jan 16 00:30 |
DaemonFC[m] | And are yet to be overrun. | Jan 16 00:30 |
schestowitz | they can bring it in from home | Jan 16 00:30 |
schestowitz | spouse | Jan 16 00:30 |
schestowitz | unless they sleep in the facilities | Jan 16 00:31 |
schestowitz | A BN engineer ('open' reach) was here yesterday | Jan 16 00:31 |
DaemonFC[m] | They don't. The administrator and her husband were laughing about not wearing their masks. | Jan 16 00:31 |
schestowitz | their protocols ae strict | Jan 16 00:31 |
DaemonFC[m] | Then they both got diagnosed with it and had to go into quarantine. | Jan 16 00:31 |
schestowitz | I talk to him from another room | Jan 16 00:31 |
schestowitz | window wide open, zero degrees outside | Jan 16 00:31 |
schestowitz | mask on, hoodie | Jan 16 00:32 |
schestowitz | he has ppe | Jan 16 00:32 |
DaemonFC[m] | What I'm saying is that there's a lot of dumb trash out there who have nursing licenses and blow this off as some sort of a joke at least on their own time. | Jan 16 00:32 |
DaemonFC[m] | Then they bring it into the nursing home they work at because of that and kill 20-30 old people. | Jan 16 00:33 |

schestowitz | since covid lockdowns started we've managed to get the same foods for even lower prices | Jan 16 00:36 |
DaemonFC[m] | The guy at Walmart actually yelled at me for doing that the other day. Said they already did. I told him, "What's it to you? If that guy did a fantastic job just come over here and touch it yourself. No?". | Jan 16 00:37 |
schestowitz | since I don't like travelling much anyway, it doesn't bother me in any way except maybe using sauna facilities and such stuff | Jan 16 00:37 |
DaemonFC[m] | Like, he's a door greeter yelling at me for moving out of the way and spraying a cart handle with stuff I paid for. | Jan 16 00:37 |
schestowitz | weird | Jan 16 00:38 |
schestowitz | my dad does the same | Jan 16 00:38 |
schestowitz | and memorises where it was sanitised | Jan 16 00:38 |
DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, it's not an overreaction of any kind from the numbers I'm seeing here each day. | Jan 16 00:38 |
DaemonFC[m] | I go over the entire handle. | Jan 16 00:38 |
schestowitz | my skin is better off now, I barely ever touch it | Jan 16 00:38 |
DaemonFC[m] | Then I use sanitizer on the way out (from the store's bottle). Then put the groceries in the car and more sanitizer (mine) including under my nails and stuff, before I drive off. | Jan 16 00:39 |
schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: the problem is when you pick an item and then touch the handle | Jan 16 00:39 |
schestowitz | so mask on, never touch face, no open wounds either | Jan 16 00:39 |
schestowitz | and distance from people who... well, breathe | Jan 16 00:40 |
schestowitz | even then we wash all the items one by one | Jan 16 00:40 |
DaemonFC[m] | Some of the employees there slip their masks off I've noticed. | Jan 16 00:40 |
DaemonFC[m] | Or touch their mask then their face. | Jan 16 00:40 |
schestowitz | because we cannot leave cold items to quarantine for 3 days, they'd spoil | Jan 16 00:40 |

DaemonFC[m] | Yes, the mask does remind you not to touch your face. | Jan 16 00:42 |

schestowitz | protective plastic glasses can help | Jan 16 00:43 |
schestowitz | I have those sport ones, just protective ones | Jan 16 00:43 |
schestowitz | didn't think of using them as ppe | Jan 16 00:43 |
schestowitz | but I suppose that might enhance protection | Jan 16 00:43 |
DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, I sneeze in the masks all the time. | Jan 16 00:44 |
DaemonFC[m] | Have to soak them a while to get that out. :P | Jan 16 00:44 |
CrystalMath | DaemonFC[m]: even if you touch your face, you can't infect others easily when you have a mask on | Jan 16 00:46 |
techrights-bot | #corporateMedia has made #clinicalTrials and "vaccine" synonyms. This is wrong. This is a cause for concern. It's worse than what #russia does at the moment. | Jan 16 00:46 |
CrystalMath | i similarly don't care about myself being infected | Jan 16 00:46 |
CrystalMath | i'm 100% certain that i will not mind the outcome if i get covid | Jan 16 00:46 |
CrystalMath | (because i wouldn't mind dying either) | Jan 16 00:46 |
CrystalMath | whatever happens, happens, i trust nature's decision, even if it means removing me | Jan 16 00:46 |
schestowitz | collective responsibility | Jan 16 00:47 |
CrystalMath | i do care about not infecting others | Jan 16 00:47 |
MinceR | you wouldn't mind a lifetime of suffering either? | Jan 16 00:47 |
CrystalMath | which is where the mask works | Jan 16 00:47 |
schestowitz | that's a problem... for them | Jan 16 00:47 |
CrystalMath | MinceR: from the looks of it, that's always guaranteed | Jan 16 00:47 |
schestowitz | the future is bright | Jan 16 00:48 |
schestowitz | we have old Nokia bricks | Jan 16 00:48 |
CrystalMath | umm, have you been paying attention to your own news? | Jan 16 00:48 |
MinceR | CrystalMath: i mean an extra layer of suffering for the rest of your life | Jan 16 00:48 |
MinceR | something like greatly reduced lung capacity | Jan 16 00:48 |
CrystalMath | MinceR: i have a liter to spare that i'm not using | Jan 16 00:49 |
schestowitz | lol | Jan 16 00:49 |
schestowitz | give me yo' kidney! | Jan 16 00:49 |
schestowitz | you don't use that one anyway! | Jan 16 00:49 |
MinceR | maybe COVID-19 will take more than that | Jan 16 00:49 |
CrystalMath | well you see, last february i met someone who lived in wuhan and after that i got this strange flu | Jan 16 00:49 |
schestowitz | my colleague is in hopital with covid emergency and he's my age | Jan 16 00:49 |
schestowitz | 30s | Jan 16 00:49 |
schestowitz | daniel... | Jan 16 00:50 |
CrystalMath | and i feel like i do have a somewhat reduced lung capacity | Jan 16 00:50 |
CrystalMath | but not a lot | Jan 16 00:50 |
schestowitz | it's very serious, but they got him stabilised last night | Jan 16 00:50 |
schestowitz | I think I might go for the record now and stay home for more than 3 weeks, until things reopen... | Jan 16 00:51 |
CrystalMath | i still haven't been able to beat my 2019 record | Jan 16 00:51 |
CrystalMath | of staying at home | Jan 16 00:51 |
CrystalMath | depression > covid :P | Jan 16 00:51 |

CrystalMath | but i am planning to leave linux in favor of NetBSD | Jan 16 01:01 |
MinceR | i have a similar plan, though i haven't picked the BSD that is right for me yet | Jan 16 01:02 |
DaemonFC[m] | The GPU on the M1 is really weird. | Jan 16 01:03 |
DaemonFC[m] | But it's Apple so you expect it to be overdesigned I guess. | Jan 16 01:03 |
MinceR | well, i expect it to be a particularly weak model from nvidia, amd or intel, with next to no support | Jan 16 01:04 |

DaemonFC[m] | They're getting rid of that ridiculous "touch bar" from the next Macbook. | Jan 16 01:09 |
DaemonFC[m] | This is what you get with companies like that. They don't ask anyone or do any research. They just add random things that get in the way, and then everyone who does use it gets it taken away a year or three later. | Jan 16 01:10 |
schestowitz | ribbon | Jan 16 01:11 |
schestowitz | they do 'clinical trials' on their users | Jan 16 01:11 |
schestowitz | and then withdraw | Jan 16 01:11 |
DaemonFC[m] | Remember how Ribbon was supposed to be revolutionary and great to use and now there's just vestiges of it here and there in things they haven't redone lately. | Jan 16 01:14 |

vZS1_2 | Pocock is a good example of what happens when you have "SJWs" hijack control of a project and then get them to do your dirty work. | Jan 16 12:25 |
Ariadne | is it? | Jan 16 12:25 |
vZS1_2 | They kick the technical people out, in general. | Jan 16 12:26 |
vZS1_2 | People that can call out the BS | Jan 16 12:26 |
vZS1_2 | And who damped the marketing | Jan 16 12:26 |
Ariadne | "SJW" these days is a catch-all boogeyman term largely utilized by the alt-right | Jan 16 12:27 |
vZS1_2 | I used it in the derogatory sense | Jan 16 12:27 |
Ariadne | yes, the alt-right sense | Jan 16 12:27 |
vZS1_2 | I don't have to be alt-right to use a word a certain way | Jan 16 12:28 |
vZS1_2 | That's absurd | Jan 16 12:28 |
Ariadne | sure. i am just letting you know who primarily uses that term in the same context as you. | Jan 16 12:28 |
vZS1_2 | And if some alt-right people make the same observation, good for them. | Jan 16 12:29 |
Ariadne | a better, and more accurate term, is "concern troll" | Jan 16 12:29 |
vZS1_2 | That works too | Jan 16 12:29 |
Ariadne | using accurate terms is important, as referring to concern trolls as "SJWs" undermines people who are doing important social justice work (including work on free software) | Jan 16 12:30 |
vZS1_2 | An SJW doesn't care about social justice | Jan 16 12:30 |
vZS1_2 | It's satire | Jan 16 12:30 |
Ariadne | of course not, but the average person assumes they do | Jan 16 12:30 |
Ariadne | anyway, the Pocock situation is not Pocock vs SJWs | Jan 16 12:31 |
vZS1_2 | It certainly is | Jan 16 12:31 |
Ariadne | it really isn't. i know many of the people involved. none of them are SJWs | Jan 16 12:31 |
vZS1_2 | Sure | Jan 16 12:31 |
Ariadne | i think accurately describing the Pocock situation is also important, as "Pocock vs SJWs" does not accurately describe the legitimate concerns | Jan 16 12:33 |
Ariadne | which is that Pocock saw internal FSFE data he was not supposed to be aware of, and as a result FSFE tries to discredit him | Jan 16 12:33 |
Ariadne | Pocock however has responded suboptimally to that campaign which has allowed the people attempting to discredit him more success. | Jan 16 12:34 |
Ariadne | i think this is largely because he responds emotionally rather than tactically. | Jan 16 12:35 |
schestowitz | [12:26] <vZS1_2> They kick the technical people out, in general. | Jan 16 12:35 |
schestowitz | this is true | Jan 16 12:35 |
schestowitz | happens at OSI right now | Jan 16 12:36 |
schestowitz | at warp speed | Jan 16 12:36 |
Ariadne | at any rate, the real questions of journalistic merit involve what FSFE data did he see that FSFE does not want *us* to see | Jan 16 12:36 |
schestowitz | 3/4 out their speakers are not technical | Jan 16 12:36 |
schestowitz | and all represent corporations | Jan 16 12:36 |
schestowitz | no community at all | Jan 16 12:36 |
vZS1_2 | Yeah, 3/4 are idiots | Jan 16 12:36 |
schestowitz | [12:27] <Ariadne> "SJW" these days is a catch-all boogeyman term largely utilized by the alt-right | Jan 16 12:36 |
schestowitz | I don't use that term | Jan 16 12:36 |
schestowitz | avoid the term | Jan 16 12:36 |
schestowitz | dodge it, call it something more meaningful | Jan 16 12:36 |
schestowitz | [12:29] <Ariadne> a better, and more accurate term, is "concern troll" | Jan 16 12:37 |
vZS1_2 | It all boils down to coups and hijacks | Jan 16 12:37 |
schestowitz | much better | Jan 16 12:37 |
schestowitz | until the alt reich uses that term too | Jan 16 12:37 |
schestowitz | like Trump hijacked "fake news" | Jan 16 12:37 |
schestowitz | so you cannot use that term after 2016 | Jan 16 12:37 |
vZS1_2 | Pocock exposed hijacking of Debian from outside the real community. | Jan 16 12:37 |

vZS1_2 | In general, the trend is to kick out the engineers from decision-making positions. | Jan 16 12:40 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: they pushed him out for other reasons | Jan 16 12:40 |
schestowitz | then justified it | Jan 16 12:40 |

schestowitz | in osi, debian, LF... you deal with people who never coded and probably barely even used computers | Jan 16 12:44 |

Ariadne | actually the goal of that conversation was to provide some insight into what 'free software hacker' culture is actually like | Jan 16 13:03 |
Ariadne | jake was not cancelled by SJWs, he was cancelled by his fellow hackers | Jan 16 13:03 |
schestowitz | that's a straw man | Jan 16 13:04 |
schestowitz | we did not talk about jake | Jan 16 13:04 |
schestowitz | jacob | Jan 16 13:04 |
schestowitz | not sure why some call him jake | Jan 16 13:04 |
Ariadne | that's what he calls himself | Jan 16 13:04 |
schestowitz | like he's their bbf | Jan 16 13:04 |
Ariadne | in a casual setting | Jan 16 13:04 |
schestowitz | but anyway, the subject was wikileaks journalism | Jan 16 13:04 |
schestowitz | and the extradition | Jan 16 13:04 |
schestowitz | not sex | Jan 16 13:04 |
schestowitz | not "jake" | Jan 16 13:04 |

Ariadne | does not change the fact that had assange abided by what was requested of him by those women, the swedish government would not have had that angle to explore | Jan 16 13:07 |
schestowitz | "Alexa, don't listen, we're having sex now" | Jan 16 13:07 |
vZS1_2 | Btw | Jan 16 13:07 |
vZS1_2 | Someone else must have pinned the Assange PDFs I put on IPFS | Jan 16 13:07 |
Ariadne | does not change the fact that it is fucked up to tell a partner you're using a condom and then not use one | Jan 16 13:07 |
vZS1_2 | Because they were accessible when my node was down | Jan 16 13:08 |
vZS1_2 | The Assange court judgements in the UK | Jan 16 13:08 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: again, not the subject | Jan 16 13:08 |
schestowitz | the case has nothing to do withn sweden | Jan 16 13:08 |
Ariadne | but that is a personal matter, not one that is worthy of the carceral state's involvement | Jan 16 13:08 |
schestowitz | it's espionage charges from the US | Jan 16 13:08 |
schestowitz | over cablegate and war ogs | Jan 16 13:08 |
schestowitz | not women, not sweden | Jan 16 13:08 |
Ariadne | yes, and he shouldn't be extradited for that | Jan 16 13:08 |
schestowitz | let's focus on the issues one at a time | Jan 16 13:08 |
schestowitz | vZS1_2: maybe same hash? | Jan 16 13:09 |
schestowitz | if you upload the PDF | Jan 16 13:09 |
schestowitz | and then someone else uploads the same PDF obtained from somewhere else | Jan 16 13:09 |
schestowitz | would that entail the same cid/hash? | Jan 16 13:09 |
vZS1_2 | Not always. Depends on how the chunking is done. | Jan 16 13:09 |
schestowitz | like checksums would for identical files? | Jan 16 13:09 |
schestowitz | vZS1_2: ok, makes sense | Jan 16 13:10 |
schestowitz | hashes are much shorter than files that make them up | Jan 16 13:10 |
schestowitz | so there would be collisions in theory | Jan 16 13:10 |
vZS1_2 | Yeah | Jan 16 13:10 |
schestowitz | two separate items leading to identical checksums | Jan 16 13:10 |
vZS1_2 | Either way. I'm glad the judgement is getting circulation | Jan 16 13:10 |
schestowitz | in theory, though in practice for a small set of items (say a million) the collisions are not very likely | Jan 16 13:11 |
schestowitz | tomorrow I will do Part II | Jan 16 13:11 |
Ariadne | i also think that ross ulbricht should not be in prison for the rest of his life for operating a website | Jan 16 13:11 |
vZS1_2 | All I've seen in the last couple weeks is ad-hominem attacks on Assange | Jan 16 13:11 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: media painted him as a drug lord | Jan 16 13:11 |
schestowitz | like it does julian re women | Jan 16 13:11 |
schestowitz | that distorts the nature of cases | Jan 16 13:11 |
schestowitz | vZS1_2: he let in rogue people | Jan 16 13:12 |
schestowitz | many unwittingly | Jan 16 13:12 |
Ariadne | i think the media has accurately depicted julian's relationship with women, actually | Jan 16 13:12 |
schestowitz | bad vetting | Jan 16 13:12 |
schestowitz | like James Balls | Jan 16 13:12 |
schestowitz | but Balls is also lying | Jan 16 13:12 |
schestowitz | he was never wikileaks employee | Jan 16 13:12 |
schestowitz | barely even insider | Jan 16 13:12 |
schestowitz | he makes a career out of that false association | Jan 16 13:13 |
schestowitz | now accommodated by Murdoch's "Times" | Jan 16 13:13 |
Ariadne | it is pretty well understood in the anarchist hacker circles that assange is a womanizer and a transphobe | Jan 16 13:13 |
Ariadne | has been all along really | Jan 16 13:13 |
Ariadne | doesn't discount the importance of his work, mind | Jan 16 13:13 |
schestowitz | those are personal angles | Jan 16 13:13 |

DVulgaris | Well, speaking of the Whatsapp stuff - I think the only viable solutions are IRC and XMPP: But most people won't use that, so Matrix might be a decent middle-ground | Jan 16 13:14 |
DVulgaris | It's generally all bleak though | Jan 16 13:14 |
Ariadne | matrix is so useless | Jan 16 13:14 |
schestowitz | and whether they're true or not, I don't think it even matters in this context | Jan 16 13:14 |
DVulgaris | Ariadne: It's a shitshow that is user-friendly sadly | Jan 16 13:14 |

At the end of the call, according to a White House read-out, Obama "expressed concern" over the release of Shaye. Shaye had not been released at the time of the call, but Saleh did have a pardon prepared. Consequently, Shaye was not released until 2013." | Jan 16 13:23 |
schestowitz | "After a public outcry from tribal leaders in Yemen over Shaye's imprisonment, Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh was prepared to release Shaye, but he was swayed otherwise by a call from U.S. President Barack Obama on February 2, 2011 citing his "concern" over Shaye's imminent release." | Jan 16 13:24 |

schestowitz | unless they can legally demand Twitter hands over verifiable data (screenshots are easy to fake, hard to verify) | Jan 16 13:46 |
vZS1_2 | Twitler could have just wiped the posts from their database. In a way, it helps Trump. People can't access the original posts. | Jan 16 13:47 |

schestowitz | "Many of the world’s leading malaria scientists are now “locked up in a ‘cartel’ with their own research funding being linked to those of others within the group,” Dr. Kochi wrote. Because “each has a vested interest to safeguard the work of the others,” he wrote, getting independent reviews of research proposals “is becoming increasingly difficult.” | Jan 16 13:55 |
schestowitz | "Also, he argued, the foundation’s determination to have its favored research used to guide the health organization’s recommendations “could have implicitly dangerous consequences on the policy-making process in world health.”" | Jan 16 13:55 |

DVulgaris | I mean | Jan 16 14:36 |
schestowitz | I saw them bribing at the univrsity | Jan 16 14:36 |
DVulgaris | Look at the statistics in israel | Jan 16 14:37 |
schestowitz | and no public data | Jan 16 14:37 |
schestowitz | like ages, sizes | Jan 16 14:37 |
schestowitz | evidence still needed | Jan 16 14:37 |
schestowitz | they are in no rush tro produce any | Jan 16 14:37 |
schestowitz | easier to bribes the media and rally barons | Jan 16 14:37 |
schestowitz | to appease the "plebs" | Jan 16 14:37 |
schestowitz | the "vaccine" is here | Jan 16 14:37 |
schestowitz | "things will be back to normal soon" | Jan 16 14:37 |
DVulgaris | Most of the elderly population has been already vaccinated and they're not filling ERs anymore | Jan 16 14:37 |
vZS1_2 | There's far more transparency around the Sputnik V trials. And they don't hide the fact that these are trials. | Jan 16 14:37 |
schestowitz | BoJo: "normality by xmas | Jan 16 14:37 |
schestowitz | which xmas? | Jan 16 14:37 |
schestowitz | not 2020, that's for sure | Jan 16 14:37 |
DVulgaris | I'm not gonna argue on this | Jan 16 14:38 |
schestowitz | [14:37] <DVulgaris> Most of the elderly population has been already vaccinated and they're not filling ERs anymore | Jan 16 14:38 |
DVulgaris | Because you're not making sense | Jan 16 14:38 |
schestowitz | False in the UK | Jan 16 14:38 |
schestowitz | first doze of the stuff in 3.3m people | Jan 16 14:38 |
schestowitz | and still record numbers | Jan 16 14:38 |
DVulgaris | I meant in israel | Jan 16 14:38 |
schestowitz | deaths, cases, hospitalisations | Jan 16 14:38 |
DVulgaris | To be specific | Jan 16 14:38 |
DVulgaris | It's currently the only place with high vaccination rates | Jan 16 14:38 |
schestowitz | Israel never reported many deaths | Jan 16 14:39 |
schestowitz | maybe by falsifying | Jan 16 14:39 |
DVulgaris | Oh come on | Jan 16 14:39 |
schestowitz | 10k or so new cases recently, per day | Jan 16 14:39 |
schestowitz | for less than 10 million pop. | Jan 16 14:39 |
DVulgaris | They'd deny other stuff, not this | Jan 16 14:39 |
schestowitz | that's like 80,000 cases per day in UK | Jan 16 14:39 |
DVulgaris | That's because the general population still isn't vaccinated | Jan 16 14:39 |
schestowitz | so the vaccines are not slowing things down | Jan 16 14:39 |
DVulgaris | And the "lockdowns" weren't tight | Jan 16 14:39 |
schestowitz | DVulgaris: they can always blame "old people" dying of age | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | or say "real soon now" | Jan 16 14:40 |
DVulgaris | The vaccines are lowering the mortality rates | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | "wait for dose 2" | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | which some say is worse than the first | Jan 16 14:40 |
DVulgaris | Mainly because the elderly are the most affected | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | that's vapiurware | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | and they keep invoicing for more orders | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | pay more | Jan 16 14:40 |
DVulgaris | Nevermind | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | for version x+1 | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | "will fix everything!" | Jan 16 14:40 |
DVulgaris | I won't argue with a science denier | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | I'm not a science denier | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | the opposite | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | I question marketing | Jan 16 14:40 |
schestowitz | and ask to see the science | Jan 16 14:41 |
schestowitz | which we lack | Jan 16 14:41 |
schestowitz | WHO lacks it | Jan 16 14:41 |
schestowitz | the journalists (so-called) cite none | Jan 16 14:41 |
vZS1_2 | So we get another Pfizer and Moderna lackey here. Good to know. | Jan 16 14:41 |
schestowitz | they do "happy sftories" about some happy grandmas | Jan 16 14:41 |
DVulgaris | Look at the research being published in journals | Jan 16 14:41 |

vZS1_2 | Twitler has censored Sputnik V | Jan 16 14:57 |
DVulgaris | That's a serious issue | Jan 16 14:57 |
DVulgaris | Even if I personally have some doubts about Sputnik V | Jan 16 14:57 |
schestowitz | [14:56] <DVulgaris> Cramming a decade into less than a year | Jan 16 14:57 |
DVulgaris | Just as censoring of Parler is damn scary | Jan 16 14:57 |
schestowitz | so scepticism is warranted | Jan 16 14:57 |
DVulgaris | Oh, I agree | Jan 16 14:58 |

schestowitz | [14:57] <DVulgaris> Even if I personally have some doubts about Sputnik Vs | Jan 16 14:58 |
schestowitz | so do I | Jan 16 14:58 |
schestowitz | and I mocked that too | Jan 16 14:58 |
vZS1_2 | We have doubts about all the vaccines | Jan 16 14:58 |
vZS1_2 | Because the trials aren't over | Jan 16 14:58 |
schestowitz | vaccination is also in general the best hope in some sense | Jan 16 14:58 |
schestowitz | but is sort of too late | Jan 16 14:58 |
DVulgaris | I personally think if it has not shown adverse effects so far - it's not worrying | Jan 16 14:58 |
DVulgaris | Also | Jan 16 14:58 |
schestowitz | like "contact tracing" | Jan 16 14:58 |

DVulgaris | Very predicted | Jan 16 14:59 |
schestowitz | Moderna/Viagra warned about allergies | Jan 16 14:59 |
DVulgaris | Happened with every weakened/live virus SARS vaccine before | Jan 16 15:00 |
schestowitz | without specifying enough as to why | Jan 16 15:00 |
DVulgaris | That's why we didn't have any | Jan 16 15:00 |
schestowitz | Oxford/AZ only secretly told shareholders what had happened | Jan 16 15:00 |
schestowitz | hid it from the public | Jan 16 15:00 |

DVulgaris | yh, I'll personally pass | Jan 16 15:03 |
CrystalMath | DVulgaris: i oppose the mRNA ones because they depend on proprietary technology | Jan 16 15:03 |
CrystalMath | except for the Sputnik-V, i guess | Jan 16 15:03 |
DVulgaris | That I can get behind CrystalMath | Jan 16 15:03 |
DVulgaris | I think it should be illegal to give control on those sequences like that | Jan 16 15:04 |

MinceR | afaik volkswagen is allied with microshit | Jan 16 15:16 |

DVulgaris | MinceR: What do you mean? | Jan 16 15:16 |
schestowitz | also rep | Jan 16 15:16 |
MinceR | they're making wheeled deathtraps ("self-driving electric cars") together | Jan 16 15:16 |

DVulgaris | IDK when will it dawn on people that batteries have much lower battery density | Jan 16 15:17 |
DVulgaris | I truly think the future lies in synthetic fuels | Jan 16 15:17 |

MinceR | and all of these technologies need our power generation to be cleaned up | Jan 16 15:19 |
DVulgaris | Just go nuclear | Jan 16 15:19 |
schestowitz | and IBM, as noted above | Jan 16 15:19 |
DVulgaris | Closed loop | Jan 16 15:19 |
MinceR | none of them will save us if we mostly rely on fossil fuels to produce electricity | Jan 16 15:19 |
schestowitz | many US companies went along | Jan 16 15:19 |
MinceR | nuclear is expensive, though | Jan 16 15:19 |
vZS1_2 | Things like `echo "g/regex/p" | ed file.txt` has saved my hide a few times. | Jan 16 15:19 |
MinceR | low EROI | Jan 16 15:19 |
DVulgaris | The problem with current reactors is they were optimized for making bombs | Jan 16 15:19 |
DVulgaris | Not power | Jan 16 15:20 |
DVulgaris | Nuclear should be very cheap | Jan 16 15:20 |
DVulgaris | But the US and USSR fucked it (and the world) over by prioritizing nukes | Jan 16 15:20 |
DVulgaris | It's depressing | Jan 16 15:20 |
MinceR | and in any case, i doubt any of this is sustainable with the population we have (which is still growing at a breakneck rate) | Jan 16 15:20 |
DVulgaris | The more you dig in it the more you realize how fucked up the world is | Jan 16 15:20 |
schestowitz | it's cheap until it leaks | Jan 16 15:20 |
schestowitz | ask japan | Jan 16 15:20 |
schestowitz | and you need a place to store this shit for many hundreds of years | Jan 16 15:21 |
MinceR | people keep suggesting that we should live like ascetics so that we can have additional billions of people suffer on this planet | Jan 16 15:21 |
DVulgaris | schestowitz: with a liquid or gas-based reactor the safety mechanisms are passive | Jan 16 15:21 |

DVulgaris | Kek | Jan 16 15:26 |
schestowitz | they are no longer virgins | Jan 16 15:26 |
DVulgaris | Yh | Jan 16 15:26 |
DVulgaris | BTW | Jan 16 15:26 |
MinceR | :> | Jan 16 15:26 |
DVulgaris | It really might not be 72 virgins | Jan 16 15:26 |
schestowitz | if you blow them all up, will you go up to heaven of heaven and get 72 new ones? | Jan 16 15:26 |
DVulgaris | See | Jan 16 15:26 |
DVulgaris | In old Arabic | Jan 16 15:26 |
MinceR | see the Postal movie :> | Jan 16 15:26 |
DVulgaris | The same word was used for "virgin" and "crystal" | Jan 16 15:27 |
DVulgaris | So they might just be getting 72 crystals XD | Jan 16 15:27 |
MinceR | :> | Jan 16 15:27 |

DVulgaris | Yeah, I never got what got her into that | Jan 16 17:46 |
schestowitz | she should have kept off it | Jan 16 17:46 |
DVulgaris | TERFs and all | Jan 16 17:46 |
schestowitz | or "write only" | Jan 16 17:46 |
DVulgaris | Weird shit | Jan 16 17:46 |
Ariadne | well, transphobia is just the homophobia of this century, and like homophobia is linked to white supremacy | Jan 16 17:47 |
DVulgaris | The only thing I don't get | Jan 16 17:47 |
CrystalMath | how is homophobia linked to white supremacy? | Jan 16 17:47 |
schestowitz | transphobia and homophobia are less common in "white" countries | Jan 16 17:47 |
CrystalMath | there's a lot of homophobia outside white culture | Jan 16 17:47 |
DVulgaris | Is why are suicide rates still high even for post-op trans people | Jan 16 17:47 |
schestowitz | so there's another angle to it | Jan 16 17:47 |
DVulgaris | I think that the current research is missing something | Jan 16 17:47 |
CrystalMath | actually, transphobia is more common in white countries than in asia, but homophobia is more common in asia | Jan 16 17:47 |
DVulgaris | And it is very sad | Jan 16 17:47 |
schestowitz | good luck as trans or gay in a country that is not white | Jan 16 17:47 |
CrystalMath | it's different | Jan 16 17:48 |
schestowitz | might not even survive one day | Jan 16 17:48 |
DVulgaris | CrystalMath: Depends where in asia | Jan 16 17:48 |
CrystalMath | schestowitz: it's easy to be trans in iran | Jan 16 17:48 |
CrystalMath | they fund your transition | Jan 16 17:48 |
CrystalMath | but if you're gay, you get killed | Jan 16 17:48 |
DVulgaris | CrystalMath: That's because they're Shia | Jan 16 17:48 |
Ariadne | CrystalMath: its the same broken thought process | Jan 16 17:48 |
DVulgaris | Sunnis are much much worse | Jan 16 17:48 |
DVulgaris | They'll kill them anyway | Jan 16 17:48 |
Ariadne | anyway, bigotry of any kind should be rejected | Jan 16 17:48 |
DVulgaris | Shia are generally "lighter" | Jan 16 17:48 |
DVulgaris | But the West is allied with Sunnis | Jan 16 17:48 |
DVulgaris | So | Jan 16 17:49 |
DVulgaris | ... | Jan 16 17:49 |
DVulgaris | Don't get me wrong though | Jan 16 17:49 |
DVulgaris | Both are shit | Jan 16 17:49 |
Ariadne | suicide rate with trans people is largely driven by lack of opportunity | Jan 16 17:49 |
DVulgaris | And discrimination I think | Jan 16 17:49 |
DVulgaris | More like isolation probably | Jan 16 17:49 |
CrystalMath | it's possible that dysphoria is permanent | Jan 16 17:50 |
DVulgaris | It can be permanent in other cases | Jan 16 17:50 |
CrystalMath | and the trauma of being born in the wrong body is unrecoverable | Jan 16 17:50 |
Ariadne | it is mostly the discrimination | Jan 16 17:50 |
DVulgaris | Exactly | Jan 16 17:50 |
DVulgaris | I think the "permanent dysphoria" is just a minority | Jan 16 17:50 |
Ariadne | trans people, even "passing" post-op trans people are at risk of having their career destroyed at any time | Jan 16 17:51 |
Ariadne | if only white men were in such a situation (oh wait, that's why they hate #MeToo) | Jan 16 17:51 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: you should never wish for anyone else to be in such a situation | Jan 16 17:51 |
CrystalMath | i *really* hate that | Jan 16 17:52 |
Ariadne | i don't | Jan 16 17:52 |
CrystalMath | and i am proud of myself, that many times i have suffered an injustice, i *never* wished for someone else to suffer it too | Jan 16 17:52 |
Ariadne | i am just saying that trans people do not know the same level of career stability that white men do. | Jan 16 17:52 |
Ariadne | and, white men hate #MeToo for this reason: it places their career stability at risk | Jan 16 17:53 |
CrystalMath | i hate #MeToo because it's unfair | Jan 16 17:53 |
CrystalMath | i don't think it places career stability at risk | Jan 16 17:53 |
CrystalMath | or at least, i don't think that far, when something is unfair, it deserves to be hated | Jan 16 17:54 |
CrystalMath | just by its principle | Jan 16 17:54 |
Ariadne | you don't? because #MeToo has certainly demolished a lot of careers | Jan 16 17:54 |
Ariadne | and i have had people tell me "they hope they don't get #MeToo'd" | Jan 16 17:54 |
DVulgaris | It just reverses what is accepted in terms of justice | Jan 16 17:54 |
CrystalMath | similarly, i'm opposed to all kinds of discrimination, even reverse discrimination | Jan 16 17:54 |
DVulgaris | One should be innocent until proven guilty | Jan 16 17:54 |
DVulgaris | Not the other way around | Jan 16 17:54 |
CrystalMath | absolutely! the presumption of innocence is the most important thing | Jan 16 17:55 |
DVulgaris | I mean, look at what they've done to RMS | Jan 16 17:55 |
schestowitz | what is metoo in this context? | Jan 16 17:55 |
CrystalMath | the most important thing ever, and it must apply to EVERY court, even the court of public opinion | Jan 16 17:55 |
schestowitz | I think someone mistakes it for affirmative action and quotas | Jan 16 17:55 |
schestowitz | not the same thing at all | Jan 16 17:55 |
Ariadne | i think what happened to RMS is bullshit, but he could have more eloquently defended Minsky (who was one of my favorite professors) | Jan 16 17:55 |
DVulgaris | Ariadne: I think he's just on the autism spectrum | Jan 16 17:55 |
Ariadne | yes, but even autistics can learn to react tactically | Jan 16 17:56 |
DVulgaris | True | Jan 16 17:56 |
schestowitz | his reaction was not bad | Jan 16 17:56 |
schestowitz | reaction to his email was bad | Jan 16 17:56 |
schestowitz | and based on lying pieces | Jan 16 17:56 |
CrystalMath | honestly, there's nothing that RMS said that was bad | Jan 16 17:56 |
Ariadne | it was not great | Jan 16 17:56 |
schestowitz | like sjvn's | Jan 16 17:56 |
CrystalMath | he's totally right about everything | Jan 16 17:56 |
schestowitz | people seeing headlines like this http://techrights.org/2020/09/10/sjvn-senior-moment/ | Jan 16 17:56 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | One Year Later Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols’ Libel Against Richard Stallman Remains Online and Uncorrected at ZDNet | Techrights | Jan 16 17:56 | |
schestowitz | he reaction to his reaction wasn't too bad | Jan 16 17:56 |
CrystalMath | i mean people should realize that the AoC is not greater than 17 in 95% of the world | Jan 16 17:56 |
schestowitz | he apologised to those who misunderstood | Jan 16 17:57 |
schestowitz | but people kept flinging libel at him | Jan 16 17:57 |
Ariadne | schestowitz: i am subscribed to the list in question. he said some things that were taken out of context, because he did not think through what he wanted to say before saying it. | Jan 16 17:57 |
schestowitz | like this http://techrights.org/2020/09/10/the-fake-door-sign/ | Jan 16 17:57 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | The Fake ‘Door Sign’ Used to Frame Richard Stallman and Misrepresent Him One Year Ago (the Media Never Corrected This Slanderous Allegation) | Techrights | Jan 16 17:57 | |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: like what? | Jan 16 17:57 |
schestowitz | They never even deleted any of these defamatory "tweets" | Jan 16 17:57 |
schestowitz | because they had gone "viral" and earned them points (for libel) | Jan 16 17:57 |
Ariadne | well, for one, he argued that even if Minsky accepted the massage and happy ending from an underage girl on Epstein's private island, that this is fine because it wasn't a little kid | Jan 16 17:58 |
schestowitz | CrystalMath: yes, i want to see examples, too | Jan 16 17:58 |
schestowitz | he did not say this | Jan 16 17:58 |
schestowitz | that I know of | Jan 16 17:58 |
Ariadne | he did | Jan 16 17:58 |
CrystalMath | yeah he really didn't say it like that | Jan 16 17:58 |
schestowitz | unless there are messages that were not published | Jan 16 17:58 |
schestowitz | show me with a link | Jan 16 17:58 |
Ariadne | i am paraphrasing, but | Jan 16 17:58 |
schestowitz | I need to see the oroiginal | Jan 16 17:59 |
CrystalMath | i think RMS's point was that he could have thought she was 18 easily | Jan 16 17:59 |
schestowitz | he had said in his blog things about 16 year olds having sex | Jan 16 17:59 |
Ariadne | yes, i get that | Jan 16 17:59 |
schestowitz | which is legal in most states by the way | Jan 16 17:59 |
CrystalMath | schestowitz: which is legal in 90% of the world | Jan 16 17:59 |
schestowitz | in italy they go even lower | Jan 16 17:59 |
Ariadne | anyway | Jan 16 17:59 |
CrystalMath | in china they go lower (14) | Jan 16 17:59 |
CrystalMath | in most of europe | Jan 16 17:59 |
Ariadne | the point is, he reacted emotionally | Jan 16 17:59 |
CrystalMath | all of latin america | Jan 16 17:59 |
Ariadne | instead of writing a thought out response | Jan 16 17:59 |
schestowitz | the response the media attacked him for was distorted | Jan 16 18:00 |
schestowitz | he made a few valid point | Jan 16 18:00 |
schestowitz | some that might upset someone | Jan 16 18:00 |
schestowitz | not that it's a crime to upset someone | Jan 16 18:00 |
schestowitz | esp. picking on or nitpicking the term "assault" | Jan 16 18:00 |
Ariadne | anyway, i find it unlikely that Minsky even accepted the massage + happy ending offer | Jan 16 18:00 |
DVulgaris | Though, in the eyes of the mob | Jan 16 18:00 |
schestowitz | the worst media did was spin the word "willing" | Jan 16 18:00 |
DVulgaris | It is a crime to upset someone | Jan 16 18:00 |
CrystalMath | DVulgaris: the mob is STUPID, i talked to them | Jan 16 18:01 |
DVulgaris | The mob is stupid - by definition | Jan 16 18:01 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: his wife denies it | Jan 16 18:01 |
schestowitz | posthumously | Jan 16 18:01 |
CrystalMath | they actually did not know that in 70% of the world a 90yo can legally have sex with a 15yo | Jan 16 18:01 |
schestowitz | and she's a person of honour | Jan 16 18:01 |
Ariadne | well, of course she would :P | Jan 16 18:01 |
schestowitz | but who knows... | Jan 16 18:01 |
CrystalMath | when i showed them proof they shut up | Jan 16 18:01 |
Ariadne | anyway, something that made it worse for RMS is | Jan 16 18:01 |
Ariadne | that response pissed off some allies of Minsky | Jan 16 18:01 |
schestowitz | CrystalMath: I think she was 17 at the time, can't remember though | Jan 16 18:02 |
DVulgaris | Though, I will note that the US still has these crazy puritan views on a lot of things | Jan 16 18:02 |
schestowitz | and if she was a 18-y-o student of his from MIT, then fine? | Jan 16 18:02 |
CrystalMath | schestowitz: yeah, that would make it 95% of the world | Jan 16 18:02 |
Ariadne | because instead of just saying the truth -- that no such offer was accepted, he tried to defend accepting such an offer that was never accepted in the first place | Jan 16 18:02 |
CrystalMath | DVulgaris: even in the US, in 80% of it, it's fine | Jan 16 18:02 |
DVulgaris | I know | Jan 16 18:02 |
Ariadne | so it was offensive from multiple angles | Jan 16 18:02 |
Ariadne | first, he threw Minsky under the bus while trying to defend him | Jan 16 18:03 |
schestowitz | he did not | Jan 16 18:03 |
schestowitz | it was a hypothetical statement | Jan 16 18:03 |
schestowitz | anyway, they lost sight of the Gates scandal | Jan 16 18:03 |
CrystalMath | personally i consider the AoC to be a hard limit, and people should generally go for higher themselves | Jan 16 18:03 |
schestowitz | I even told RMS a week earlier | Jan 16 18:03 |
Ariadne | yes, well, it was a hypothetical statement that many people took as him throwing Minsky under the bus | Jan 16 18:03 |
CrystalMath | but the law only goes after people who cross that line | Jan 16 18:03 |
schestowitz | that it looked to me like a distraction from Billie Goat | Jan 16 18:03 |
schestowitz | Bill did vastly worse things | Jan 16 18:04 |
schestowitz | than what Minsky was ACCUSED fo doing | Jan 16 18:04 |
schestowitz | RMS was never the scandal | Jan 16 18:04 |
schestowitz | he wrote an email about a mate who had died | Jan 16 18:04 |
schestowitz | and could not defend himself directly | Jan 16 18:04 |
schestowitz | so it's totally ludicrous | Jan 16 18:04 |

Ariadne | why would bill gates pay MIT through epstein | Jan 16 18:05 |
schestowitz | belittling it like josh gay did isn't helping | Jan 16 18:06 |
CrystalMath | i suppose he did kinda throw Minsky under the bus, but we should be coaching RMS to be a little less protective of people, not mroe | Jan 16 18:06 |
schestowitz | controbutes to the idea that FSF wants to throw its own founder under a buss | Jan 16 18:06 |
schestowitz | while helping to cover up for real villains | Jan 16 18:06 |
Ariadne | CrystalMath: i have no objection to his intent there, just the way in which he did it | Jan 16 18:06 |
CrystalMath | people have been bothering RMS about this stuff for decades | Jan 16 18:06 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: the timing matters | Jan 16 18:06 |
Ariadne | and, as i've said, i think it is bullshit that they went after him for *that* | Jan 16 18:06 |
Ariadne | anyway | Jan 16 18:06 |
schestowitz | the media connected to Gates' friend started off the mob lyncg | Jan 16 18:06 |
CrystalMath | he's been surrounded by these crazy puritans, telling him that women need to be protected just because they're women (which is anti-gender equality) | Jan 16 18:06 |
schestowitz | a week or so after the media was after Gates over the MIT thing | Jan 16 18:07 |
CrystalMath | and over time he accepted some of their insane views | Jan 16 18:07 |

schestowitz | read on | Jan 16 18:08 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: those people that RMS surrounded himself with actually told me that women are "wearker, lesser" | Jan 16 18:08 |
CrystalMath | that's bullcrap of the highest order | Jan 16 18:08 |
CrystalMath | *weaker | Jan 16 18:08 |
Ariadne | none of these links explain to me why gates would launder money for MIT through epstein | Jan 16 18:08 |
schestowitz | Ito already said it had happened | Jan 16 18:08 |
schestowitz | I'm not going to start refuting actual emails FROM MIT ADMINS! | Jan 16 18:08 |
schestowitz | Several of them | Jan 16 18:08 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: it's those people like Bradley Kuhn that are the problem | Jan 16 18:08 |
Ariadne | schestowitz: i don't doubt it happened, i am just asking why | Jan 16 18:09 |
Ariadne | because that's a far juicier story, don't you think? | Jan 16 18:09 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: they're all SWERFs, and former TERFs | Jan 16 18:09 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: look back at the jail visits | Jan 16 18:09 |
schestowitz | and what they sought to accomplish | Jan 16 18:09 |
schestowitz | after his imprisonment | Jan 16 18:09 |
schestowitz | and after Gates flew with him | Jan 16 18:09 |
Ariadne | i'm just asking -- if i were gates, why wouldn't i just give money to MIT directly | Jan 16 18:09 |
schestowitz | they did that too | Jan 16 18:09 |
schestowitz | read the emails | Jan 16 18:10 |
schestowitz | they asked for secrecy | Jan 16 18:10 |
schestowitz | and needed a mule | Jan 16 18:10 |

schestowitz | not the first time passing money via proxies | Jan 16 18:10 |
Ariadne | CrystalMath: do you have any citations re: bkuhn being a TERF/SWERF? | Jan 16 18:10 |
Ariadne | i'm curious to know more | Jan 16 18:11 |
Ariadne | alpine is looking into changing its organizational structure, and conservancy was discussed as a possible option. if conservancy leadership holds values like that, however, it would be problematic | Jan 16 18:11 |
schestowitz | this is the sole issue? | Jan 16 18:12 |
schestowitz | not sfc taking ms cash? | Jan 16 18:12 |
schestowitz | selling them keynotes? | Jan 16 18:12 |
Ariadne | hey if MS wants to give me cash, i'm not going to say no | Jan 16 18:12 |
Ariadne | as long as it is no strings attached | Jan 16 18:12 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: he isn't a TERF anymore, but he was around in the early 2000s, when they rejected a transwoman's job application because "her appearance was weird" | Jan 16 18:12 |
schestowitz | there are | Jan 16 18:12 |
schestowitz | keynotes | Jan 16 18:12 |
Ariadne | alpine bullied microsoft into joining OIN, which was pretty hilarious :) | Jan 16 18:13 |
schestowitz | they keep extorting | Jan 16 18:13 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: his SWERFdom is visible on his blog | Jan 16 18:13 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-web.archive.org | 2019: July - October Political Notes - Richard Stallman | Jan 16 18:15 | |
Ariadne | CrystalMath: got it | Jan 16 18:15 |
CrystalMath | "Today's Sex Workers, Like Their Victorian Sisters, Don't Want "saving". Feminism today is drifting off the track into a campaign of prudery that harms everyone, except those who are asexual." | Jan 16 18:16 |
CrystalMath | "When the escalation started, I still considered RMS both a friend and colleague, and I attempted to argue with him at length to convince him that some of his positions were harmful to sexual assault survivors and those who are *sex-trafficked*, and to the people who devote their lives in service to such individuals." -- Bradley Kuhn himself (emphasis mine) | Jan 16 18:17 |
CrystalMath | he believes that sex workers are necessarily sex trafficked and need to be protected for their own good, and cannot decide for themselves | Jan 16 18:17 |
Ariadne | schestowitz: it was a symbolic concession, obviously. but we wanted some sort of concession to allow them to use alpine's name and marks in windows store. | Jan 16 18:17 |
CrystalMath | which is typical of idiots who also want the AoC to be positive infinity | Jan 16 18:17 |
Ariadne | which is more than what debian or suse asked :) | Jan 16 18:18 |
CrystalMath | this is enough to prove to me 100% that Bradley Kuhn is a SWERF, it's visible in his language | Jan 16 18:18 |
schestowitz | Ariadne: right: logo on a page :-) | Jan 16 18:18 |
Ariadne | CrystalMath: yes, that is unfortunate | Jan 16 18:18 |
schestowitz | but why even focus on that? | Jan 16 18:18 |
schestowitz | I always found his smug | Jan 16 18:18 |
schestowitz | and arrogant towards fellow FS proponents | Jan 16 18:19 |
schestowitz | myself probably included | Jan 16 18:19 |
Ariadne | schestowitz: understanding the attitude of a person helps in understanding what interpersonal relations with that person may look like | Jan 16 18:19 |
schestowitz | and many agreed with me when I pointed this out a decade ago | Jan 16 18:19 |

Ariadne | understanding what a relationship looks like ahead of time is important when discussing a distribution with non-trivial assets and a billion dollar ecosystem | Jan 16 18:20 |
Ariadne | discussing stewardship of* | Jan 16 18:20 |
schestowitz | I see... | Jan 16 18:20 |
schestowitz | well, I lost faith in SFC 3 years ago | Jan 16 18:20 |
schestowitz | all sorts of things that we covered happened | Jan 16 18:20 |
Ariadne | one concern of mine is that SFC may take legal actions we don't consent to | Jan 16 18:20 |
Ariadne | this is also a concern with SFLC/SPI | Jan 16 18:21 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: like which? | Jan 16 18:21 |
schestowitz | I sympathised when Sandler was pushed out of LF | Jan 16 18:21 |
schestowitz | now SFC is becoming more like LF | Jan 16 18:21 |
Ariadne | CrystalMath: GPL enforcement | Jan 16 18:21 |
CrystalMath | she can't do copyright enforcement without the power of attorney | Jan 16 18:22 |
CrystalMath | unless the SFC is the copyright holder | Jan 16 18:22 |
Ariadne | to join SFC, you grant them power of attorney | Jan 16 18:22 |
CrystalMath | really? that sounds horrible | Jan 16 18:22 |
Ariadne | anyway, it is most likely that alpine will remain independent, possibly as a societas europaea | Jan 16 18:22 |
CrystalMath | can you leave? | Jan 16 18:22 |
CrystalMath | also, you can always give people a BSD license | Jan 16 18:23 |
CrystalMath | making the trial a guaranteed loss | Jan 16 18:23 |
CrystalMath | damaging the SFC in the progress | Jan 16 18:23 |
CrystalMath | *process | Jan 16 18:23 |
Ariadne | that is not a relationship we would want to have with the steward of our resources | Jan 16 18:23 |
CrystalMath | i absolutely oppose the SFC | Jan 16 18:24 |
Ariadne | however, some projects in the alpine ecosystem are stewarded by linux foundation | Jan 16 18:24 |
Ariadne | which is not great either | Jan 16 18:24 |
schestowitz | What have they as lawyers accomplished anyway? | Jan 16 18:24 |
schestowitz | the samba lawyers did more | Jan 16 18:24 |

CrystalMath | dammit, QEMU is there | Jan 16 18:26 |
schestowitz | do they still hire techs? | Jan 16 18:26 |
schestowitz | who can code? | Jan 16 18:26 |
schestowitz | and DO they code? | Jan 16 18:26 |
CrystalMath | oh my! i almost helped them | Jan 16 18:26 |
CrystalMath | i will NOT submit that patch i had ready for qemu laying around | Jan 16 18:26 |
CrystalMath | death to qemu | Jan 16 18:26 |
schestowitz | seems to me like it's a fundrising thing with invoing for sponsorship and keynotes on sale now | Jan 16 18:26 |
schestowitz | hey, google, wanna KEYNOTE? | Jan 16 18:26 |
CrystalMath | death to wine, too | Jan 16 18:26 |
CrystalMath | and death to inkscape, i'm gonna remove that crap | Jan 16 18:27 |
schestowitz | doesn't reactos use wine? | Jan 16 18:28 |
CrystalMath | yes, but i still hate it | Jan 16 18:28 |
CrystalMath | i always refused to contribute to wine | Jan 16 18:28 |
MinceR | death to reactos as well | Jan 16 18:28 |
CrystalMath | MinceR: no, it's not in the SFC | Jan 16 18:28 |
CrystalMath | if my hatred of Karen Sandler keeps growing, i will start being anti-GPL too | Jan 16 18:28 |
Ariadne | anyway, if alpine were to make a GPL enforcement action, we would want to be the ones making that decision | Jan 16 18:29 |
CrystalMath | maybe i should just use the MIT license from now on | Jan 16 18:29 |
MinceR | CrystalMath: it's still a reimplementation of a bad design :> | Jan 16 18:29 |
Ariadne | and i don't think that is unreasonable | Jan 16 18:29 |
CrystalMath | i would rather help Microsoft than Coraline Ada Ehmke | Jan 16 18:29 |
Ariadne | Coraline is actually a nice person. have you ever talked to her? | Jan 16 18:29 |
MinceR | who's forcing you to help either? | Jan 16 18:29 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: no, and i wouldn't want to, her ethical software movement is horrible | Jan 16 18:30 |
CrystalMath | at least the proprietary software movement is honest | Jan 16 18:30 |
MinceR | Ariadne: attacking free software projects is not a really nice thing to do, actually | Jan 16 18:30 |
Ariadne | it is possible to have friendly conversation while disagreeing on some things | Jan 16 18:30 |
CrystalMath | yeah i suppose she's probably not that bad to talk to | Jan 16 18:30 |
CrystalMath | but there's still that strong disagreement | Jan 16 18:31 |
CrystalMath | and the fact that i would sooner give money and code to microsoft than her movement | Jan 16 18:31 |
Ariadne | it is valuable to get different points of view when exploring an issue | Jan 16 18:31 |
CrystalMath | i'm sure Bill Gates is nice to talk to, too | Jan 16 18:31 |
Ariadne | wouldn't know | Jan 16 18:31 |
CrystalMath | we could play contract bridge | Jan 16 18:31 |
CrystalMath | if we find 2 more players | Jan 16 18:31 |
Ariadne | i vaguely remember my grandparents' windows for workgroups machine having a contract bridge game | Jan 16 18:32 |
CrystalMath | (as a former member of the Bill Gates fan club, i know that's his favorite card game) | Jan 16 18:32 |
MinceR | harassing free software developers so that SJWs get to control who gets to work on their code and who doesn't is even less of a nice thing to do | Jan 16 18:33 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: maybe it's my upbringing, but i would rather support a murderer than an overprotective parent figure | Jan 16 18:33 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: simply because i never had an abuser, just overprotective parents | Jan 16 18:33 |
MinceR | i'd rather protect neither | Jan 16 18:33 |
MinceR | neither deserve protection and it's less work for me | Jan 16 18:33 |
CrystalMath | yeah but i mean, i'm more angry about being overprotected than abused | Jan 16 18:33 |
Ariadne | anyway | Jan 16 18:34 |
CrystalMath | okay yes i did say some crazy stuff just because i was angry... it happens | Jan 16 18:36 |
Ariadne | i'm skeptical of all of those "we act as proxy steward for projects" things | Jan 16 18:38 |
Ariadne | if you let them have a finger in the pie, they'll fuck up the pie given enough time | Jan 16 18:38 |
*schestowitz has 50 cents | Jan 16 18:38 | |
*schestowitz looks at OSI and LF | Jan 16 18:38 | |

MinceR | like that cat? | Jan 16 18:40 |
CrystalMath | yes | Jan 16 18:40 |
CrystalMath | :P | Jan 16 18:40 |
MinceR | :3 | Jan 16 18:40 |
CrystalMath | isn't my logic great when i'm angry? i think Coraline is subverting the free software movement in favor of Bill Gates, so i'm going to help Bill Gates in order to get back at coraline | Jan 16 18:42 |
Ariadne | 'ethical source' is basically an emotional reaction to the toolmakers' dilemma | Jan 16 18:42 |
CrystalMath | i was angry a few days ago and wrote my own Unethical License | Jan 16 18:42 |
Ariadne | i don't think copyright is an effective tool for this | Jan 16 18:42 |
CrystalMath | it demands that you use the software for evil only | Jan 16 18:42 |
Ariadne | i would prefer that people do not use my work to harm others, but the reality is, once it's out there, it's out there | Jan 16 18:43 |
CrystalMath | i would prefer it if my software was used to harm others, especially that DOS emulator of mine | Jan 16 18:43 |
Ariadne | instead, if you care about such things, the best way is to be vocal about it in your life | Jan 16 18:43 |
CrystalMath | emulate the hell out of someone | Jan 16 18:43 |
Ariadne | in other words, if i write an http server, i can't do anything about the KKK using it for their website | Jan 16 18:44 |
Ariadne | but i can choose to not answer their inquiries | Jan 16 18:44 |

schestowitz | CrystalMath: ^ | Jan 16 18:45 |
Ariadne | the contributor covenant has one nice feature | Jan 16 18:45 |
Ariadne | alt-right people see it and tend to go elsewhere | Jan 16 18:45 |
Ariadne | for that reason alone, i have started using it | Jan 16 18:45 |
CrystalMath | then i will write a CoC | Jan 16 18:46 |
CrystalMath | which says that people must fight every day | Jan 16 18:46 |
Ariadne | obviously, a document does not mean anything | Jan 16 18:46 |
CrystalMath | FCCoC (Fight Club Code of Conduct) | Jan 16 18:46 |
Ariadne | but if it makes alt-righters choose a different project | Jan 16 18:46 |
Ariadne | that works for me ^_^ | Jan 16 18:46 |
MinceR | Ariadne: not only altReich people avoid dealing with CoC-infested projects | Jan 16 18:46 |
schestowitz | that makes coc look disingenuous | Jan 16 18:46 |
CrystalMath | i'm going to fork your project and put up a fight club code of conduct | Jan 16 18:46 |
schestowitz | reinforces the idea that it's a plot unrelated to software | Jan 16 18:46 |
MinceR | CrystalMath: how do you define evil, though, as far as complying with the UL goes? | Jan 16 18:46 |
schestowitz | but about excluding people | Jan 16 18:46 |
Ariadne | well, i do indeed wish to exclude alt-right people | Jan 16 18:47 |
CrystalMath | MinceR: it's purposely left undefined, after all, it's more evil if i don't tell people | Jan 16 18:47 |
Ariadne | but i would just ban them regardless from my tracker | Jan 16 18:47 |
Ariadne | so :) | Jan 16 18:47 |
schestowitz | coc does not do that | Jan 16 18:47 |
CrystalMath | mwahahahahaha | Jan 16 18:47 |
schestowitz | coc alienates people other than the right | Jan 16 18:47 |
schestowitz | it excludes some older people | Jan 16 18:47 |
schestowitz | who are not used to this kind of hammer | Jan 16 18:47 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: i'm seriously going to fork your projects, and put up a code of conduct that says "Be horrible to each other." | Jan 16 18:48 |
MinceR | it also excludes people who do not like to be at the mercy of megacorporate bureaucrats | Jan 16 18:48 |
MinceR | like in the case of Linux | Jan 16 18:48 |
Ariadne | CrystalMath: go for it | Jan 16 18:48 |
CrystalMath | the opposite of "Be excellent to each other." | Jan 16 18:48 |
schestowitz | if you want to alienate fascists, use a rainbow for project logo | Jan 16 18:48 |
MinceR | and the Microsoft Linux Foundation | Jan 16 18:48 |
schestowitz | coc is not the right brush | Jan 16 18:48 |
schestowitz | too broad | Jan 16 18:48 |
CrystalMath | schestowitz: eh, that won't alienate me | Jan 16 18:48 |
CrystalMath | and i love hatred | Jan 16 18:48 |
CrystalMath | i'm not conservative though | Jan 16 18:48 |
MinceR | 16 194818 < schestowitz> if you want to alienate fascists, use a rainbow for project logo | Jan 16 18:48 |
MinceR | nice idea | Jan 16 18:48 |
MinceR | though it might not fit with all projects :> | Jan 16 18:49 |
schestowitz | use antifa logo | Jan 16 18:49 |
schestowitz | they hate people who oppose what they are | Jan 16 18:49 |
Ariadne | i'll just embed 'always' by erasure on the project website and have it play in a loop until it gets DMCA'd | Jan 16 18:50 |
Ariadne | ;) | Jan 16 18:50 |
CrystalMath | eh, but if it's about a real antifa, not the one that destroys the businesses of poor black people, then what is there to dislike about it? | Jan 16 18:50 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: i love that song | Jan 16 18:50 |
CrystalMath | years ago, i have considered making The Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up to be the official theme song of my projects, just to get people who can't take bad words away from it | Jan 16 18:51 |
CrystalMath | because i don't want people who can't withstand a good mental beating (not physical, since i can't withstand that either) | Jan 16 18:52 |
CrystalMath | it's okay to be physically weak, but it's not okay to be mentally weak | Jan 16 18:52 |
Ariadne | heh | Jan 16 18:53 |
CrystalMath | maybe there could also be a bot that prints lots of alt-right stuff, as a hazing test | Jan 16 18:54 |
CrystalMath | if you survive that, you pass | Jan 16 18:54 |
CrystalMath | oh, but there must also be a bot that prints socialist stuff | Jan 16 18:54 |
CrystalMath | to clear the mentally weak on the other side as well | Jan 16 18:55 |
Ariadne | anyway | Jan 16 18:55 |
Ariadne | time to write some code to mutate RDF collections | Jan 16 18:55 |
MinceR | you could combine them by having a bot that prints national socialist stuff | Jan 16 18:55 |
Ariadne | WHAT FUN | Jan 16 18:55 |
CrystalMath | MinceR: yeah but then it will sound either crazy or very specific | Jan 16 18:55 |
CrystalMath | MinceR: i need to expose people to totally extreme different viewpoints | Jan 16 18:55 |
MinceR | 1 5-line swastika comes up every minute. what could possibly go wrong? | Jan 16 18:55 |
Ariadne | just train a markov generator on trump's twitter feed | Jan 16 18:55 |
CrystalMath | Ariadne: but i need the other side, as well | Jan 16 18:56 |
CrystalMath | because i only want centrists | Jan 16 18:56 |
CrystalMath | i want to chase away anyone who is polarized on either side | Jan 16 18:56 |

DaemonFC[m] | The apartheid government fell (good), it was said that instead of vendetta that they would all figure out how to get along somehow under the new government (good), and then that's not what happened. | Jan 16 21:06 |
DaemonFC[m] | The new government turned into a kleptocracy that accuses white people who are citizens of "stealing land" and seizes productive farm land and doesn't use it for anything, and turns the other way while people are being murdered. | Jan 16 21:07 |

DaemonFC[m] | And on that point, I must agree. Public "workers" have gotten so powerful that the state just ignores the good of the public, takes their earnings, and shovels 2-3 times what these public workers should earn into their hands. | Jan 16 21:10 |
DaemonFC[m] | Knowing that a lot of it will end up back in Democratic Party coffers. | Jan 16 21:10 |

MinceR | :> | Jan 16 21:11 |
DaemonFC[m] | But the Democrats see that as a bonus. The productive people aren't interested in voting for them anyway, and the state empties out of those people before the ponzi falls apart. | Jan 16 21:11 |
DaemonFC[m] | Then the state is broken mess full of people who can't get welfare or pensions anymore after the sovereign default, but hey at least there's no Republicans. | Jan 16 21:13 |
