[01:11]	schestowitz[TR]	""hope dies last"

[01:12]	schestowitz[TR]	what's lacking isn't skilled people
[01:12]	schestowitz[TR]	there is no "skills shortage"
[01:12]	schestowitz[TR]	it's rhtoric spouted out by oligarchs' media
[01:12]	schestowitz[TR]	while the companies sack their most skilled read: expensive) staff
[01:12]	schestowitz[TR]	the problem is,
[01:12]	schestowitz[TR]	at the core,
[01:12]	schestowitz[TR]	capital got sucked out of economies
[01:12]	schestowitz[TR]	and few people hoarded it, won't spend it, "hide" it in some offshore accounts
[01:12]	schestowitz[TR]	scot-free, tax-free

[01:14]	schestowitz[TR]	what do they worry about? That it would run out??
[01:14]	psydruid	no one tries to fix anything and just accepts the situation as it is
[01:14]	psydruid	I would expect civil war or revolution
[01:14]	schestowitz[TR]	wait, it happens
[01:14]	schestowitz[TR]	many strikes here
[01:14]	schestowitz[TR]	porotests over pensions etc.
[01:15]	schestowitz[TR]	it's already disrupting "the system"
[01:15]	schestowitz[TR]	the rich think they can be aunaffected
[01:15]	schestowitz[TR]	by hiring mercenaries and having private doctors
[01:15]	schestowitz[TR]	and private planes whose pilots don't join strikes
[01:15]	schestowitz[TR]	but they live in a system where far more people than them are participants
[01:16]	psydruid	I would expect them to be taken out and shot in plain sight
[01:16]	schestowitz[TR]	mubarak found out the hard weay
[01:16]	schestowitz[TR]	and marcos
[01:16]	schestowitz[TR]	when people start marching to your mansion you're in trouble
[01:16]	psydruid	but I can't say this in public or I will get arrested
[01:16]	schestowitz[TR]	gunning them down or bombing them would only worsen things
[01:17]	schestowitz[TR]	so, in short, more countries might be heeading in this direction
[01:17]	schestowitz[TR]	unless they reset things
[01:17]	schestowitz[TR]	like the US New Deal
[01:17]	psydruid	I don't see how, the system has already been brought to its knees
[01:17]	schestowitz[TR]	yesterday in BBC they spoke of low work participation
[01:17]	schestowitz[TR]	like a third of UK adults don't work
[01:17]	schestowitz[TR]	and after COVID-19 some who want to work are unable to for wqork reasons
[01:18]	schestowitz[TR]	with the numbers jumping to about a million adults
[01:18]	psydruid	that's been my situation for the last year and a half
[01:18]	schestowitz[TR]	an economy where 30 million people work to keep a system with 70 million going is untenable
[01:18]	schestowitz[TR]	most citizens are not working basically
[01:18]	schestowitz[TR]	they are not a "burden"
[01:18]	schestowitz[TR]	so UBI is one way to settle it
[01:19]	schestowitz[TR]	othrs suggested making work weeks shorter
[01:19]	schestowitz[TR]	like 20-30 hours a week
[01:19]	schestowitz[TR]	and get more people in the loop
[01:19]	schestowitz[TR]	to balance off the toil

[01:24]	schestowitz[TR]	my first ditro was red hat

[01:25]	psydruid	I don't know, I'm not in touch with any of these people

[01:28]	schestowitz[TR]	they cannot make money
[01:28]	schestowitz[TR]	some can
[01:28]	schestowitz[TR]	most cannot
[01:28]	schestowitz[TR]	but we are not well organised to fill the gap
[01:29]	schestowitz[TR]	and they split us apart using BS politics
[01:29]	schestowitz[TR]	so you have peoplke like phanes fighting gulagboy
[01:29]	schestowitz[TR]	over non-tech issues
[01:29]	schestowitz[TR]	and people are herded inside shithub, which is languishing
[01:29]	schestowitz[TR]	it'll have many more layoffs
[01:29]	psydruid	like Vinod Khosla became a partner at some VC firm and now has his own
[01:29]	schestowitz[TR]	they lose money like crazy
[01:29]	schestowitz[TR]	and they lost many paid contracts
[01:29]	schestowitz[TR]	theirr sole income source
[01:30]	schestowitz[TR]	now theyn try to sell gpl violationd (copilot) "for business"
[01:30]	schestowitz[TR]	i doubt many businesses will pay for something that makes them legally liable without their awarenes
[01:30]	schestowitz[TR]	there is growing awareness that co[pilot is legal jar of worms
[01:30]	schestowitz[TR]	psydruid: many manager sat red hat left
[01:30]	schestowitz[TR]	many as in... you'd struggle to find many who stayed
[01:31]	schestowitz[TR]	engineers also, but some core ones did stay. like gnome/gtk devs.
[01:31]	schestowitz[TR]	some who defected to microsoft are being laid off
[01:31]	schestowitz[TR]	microsoft is done "parading" them as "wins"
[01:31]	schestowitz[TR]	and let them out in the pavement with a box of their belongings
[01:32]	schestowitz[TR]	like the azure sellouts
[01:32]	schestowitz[TR]	and port25/"open AT microsoft"
[01:32]	psydruid	I've always been shielded from these technologies and services
[01:32]	schestowitz[TR]	to microsoft the key point was,
[01:32]	schestowitz[TR]	take them out of their circles
[01:32]	schestowitz[TR]	and ensure they cannot contribute to FOSS
[01:33]	psydruid	other countries would do well to cut their dependencies on them
[01:33]	schestowitz[TR]	same thing it did to gentoo's founder
[01:33]	schestowitz[TR]	it's about disrupting the rtivals
[01:33]	schestowitz[TR]	and demoralising their communities
[01:33]	schestowitz[TR]	apple also
[01:33]	psydruid	reputations ruined forever for a quick buck
[01:33]	schestowitz[TR]	yeah
[01:33]	schestowitz[TR]	either way, at least TR has expalned the tactics
[01:34]	schestowitz[TR]	the corporations use a "edge"
[01:34]	psydruid	but it was expected
[01:34]	schestowitz[TR]	to paint communities as dangerous
[01:34]	schestowitz[TR]	and then market the monopolies as a "safe spacee"
[01:34]	schestowitz[TR]	while trolling us
[01:34]	schestowitz[TR]	all this "master", "whitelist" bs
[01:34]	psydruid	not everyone has free software ideals and sticks to them
[01:34]	schestowitz[TR]	notice they stopped doing that
[01:34]	schestowitz[TR]	as their hypocrisy kept showing
[01:34]	schestowitz[TR]	 /sedge/wedge/
[01:35]	psydruid	in many cases free software or open source software is a means to an end
[01:35]	schestowitz[TR]	<schestowitz[TR]> the corporations use a "wedge"
[01:35]	schestowitz[TR]	the anti-feminist and pro-war movements did the same
[01:35]	psydruid	and that end can also be furthering one's own career and revenue opportunities
[01:35]	schestowitz[TR]	communities got crushed by things like github
[01:35]	schestowitz[TR]	with a CoC
[01:35]	schestowitz[TR]	with censorship
[01:35]	psydruid	which is logical to some extent
[01:35]	schestowitz[TR]	and centralisation
[01:36]	schestowitz[TR]	it's about herding "cats"
[01:36]	schestowitz[TR]	cocs did not improve people's behaviour
[01:36]	psydruid	but if it comes with being limited in what you can do, it may not be worth it
[01:36]	schestowitz[TR]	they just caused new kinds of problems
[01:36]	schestowitz[TR]	and a culture of fear
[01:36]	schestowitz[TR]	fear of corporations
[01:37]	schestowitz[TR]	like people at work not saying things
[01:37]	schestowitz[TR]	for fear of getting sacked
[01:37]	schestowitz[TR]	"boss, we should change... never mind, never mind"
[01:37]	psydruid	cocs weren't meant to improve any behaviour
[01:37]	psydruid	just to reign people in

[01:41]	schestowitz[TR]	it did not work
[01:41]	schestowitz[TR]	they failed and then sold out to the enemies of the original mission
[01:41]	psydruid	it's the GPL that's important
[01:41]	schestowitz[TR]	you need to embrace tthe message of 40 years ago
[01:41]	schestowitz[TR]	and bring it back to the forefront
[01:42]	schestowitz[TR]	and highlight the latest perils
[01:42]	schestowitz[TR]	like all this "GPT" hype
[01:42]	schestowitz[TR]	fuck GPT, we want GPLL
[01:42]	psydruid	the current free software community or whatever is left of it is dead
[01:42]	schestowitz[TR]	btw, all this HEY HI stuff... proprietary
[01:42]	schestowitz[TR]	and very unethical
[01:42]	psydruid	so there is nothing to go back to
[01:42]	schestowitz[TR]	they used to mock GPL as being a threat  to the very thing their HEY HI now attacks
[01:42]	schestowitz[TR]	llike regard for other people's work
[01:43]	schestowitz[TR]	the community is still there
[01:43]	schestowitz[TR]	but in greater limbo
[01:43]	schestowitz[TR]	you don't need millions of devs
[01:43]	psydruid	hiding in caves?
[01:43]	schestowitz[TR]	10,000 can do a lot
[01:43]	schestowitz[TR]	and china, india can bring loads more
[01:43]	schestowitz[TR]	but the problem is different
[01:43]	psydruid	even 10 can do a lot
[01:43]	schestowitz[TR]	for instance,
[01:43]	schestowitz[TR]	take firefox
[01:43]	schestowitz[TR]	is that community-developed? no
[01:43]	schestowitz[TR]	w3c?
[01:43]	schestowitz[TR]	academics? no.
[01:44]	schestowitz[TR]	it's controlled by few corrporations
[01:44]	schestowitz[TR]	funded in part by "defence" money
[01:44]	schestowitz[TR]	so they gravitate towards bad stuff
[01:44]	schestowitz[TR]	that's where the money is
[01:44]	schestowitz[TR]	so take gemini
[01:44]	schestowitz[TR]	or netsurf
[01:44]	schestowitz[TR]	build around those things
[01:44]	psydruid	I do think a new free software movement could start in india

[01:45]	schestowitz[TR]	"sm0l web"

[01:45]	schestowitz[TR]	india picked risc-v
[01:45]	psydruid	but going its own way
[01:45]	schestowitz[TR]	that's a start
[01:45]	schestowitz[TR]	and can reuse code already in existence, as it does
[01:45]	schestowitz[TR]	for national OS
[01:45]	schestowitz[TR]	but they will be resisted

[01:46]	schestowitz[TR]	*waned
[01:46]	psydruid	I think in terms of software it could also develop its own OS and applications
[01:46]	schestowitz[TR]	yes, they take what's there already
[01:46]	schestowitz[TR]	also russian
[01:46]	schestowitz[TR]	they take existing stuff

[03:42]	DaemonFC	Alaska as part of the US wasn't a terribly good deal.

[03:43]	MinceR	after red china, the remaining shitholes will probably get the hint

[03:43]	DaemonFC	Buying oil from Canada would have been better than buying Alaska and dumping federal money into it every year.

[03:53]	DaemonFC	One of those things is if they have a hemorrhoid problem, just start taking some Butcher's Broom.
[03:53]	DaemonFC	They'll either let you suffer or recommend some really invasive therapy.
[03:53]	DaemonFC	Within several hours of taking Butcher's Broom the pain is gone.
[03:54]	DaemonFC	But they're very dismissive of it because "it's an herb".
[03:54]	DaemonFC	They recommend expensive surgery that's not guaranteed to work.
[03:55]	schestowitz[TR]	you could argue that
[03:55]	DaemonFC	When you could just take a few dollars worth of pills for a while that you can get off Amazon and it won't be a problem again for a year or two.

[03:56]	DaemonFC	Yeah, $80,000 bucks and like 4-5 years later they unload them for like $10,000 or $11,000.
[03:56]	schestowitz[TR]	and it has only been.. what? a year?

[05:02]	DaemonFC	RUN IT ANYWAY!
[05:02]	schestowitz[TR]	to me it seems like the "mild" covid is not mild at all
[05:02]	schestowitz[TR]	no matter how much media will repeat that
[05:04]	DaemonFC	COVID really sucks and the vaccines are super sketchy.
[05:04]	DaemonFC	Did weird things to Mandy.
[05:04]	DaemonFC	Both of us got it anyway.
[05:05]	DaemonFC	Why would we take another dose? So he has to take another 4 days off work over that and then get COVID again anyway when the vaccine wrecked his sick time already?
[05:05]	DaemonFC	Nobody knows this but I'm actually the one that got his FMLA papers taken care of.
[05:05]	DaemonFC	He doesn't even know this country has FMLA.
[05:05]	DaemonFC	So it was unpaid time off for COVID itself, but they weren't able to point him.
[05:06]	DaemonFC	Turned out working in our favor at tax time anyway.
[05:06]	schestowitz[TR]	<DaemonFC> Did weird things to Mandy.
[05:06]	DaemonFC	Had he gotten paid for it and THEN I claimed those class action settlement payouts as Other Income, he wouldn't have gotten an additional $800 in tax credits.
[05:06]	schestowitz[TR]	the media says they not probe these
[05:06]	schestowitz[TR]	but the media makes it partisan
[05:06]	schestowitz[TR]	like, it's a "GOP" thing
[05:06]	schestowitz[TR]	to check if pfizer lied or hyped up the efficacy
[05:06]	DaemonFC	So it ended up being better not to use the sick time because the IRS had to pay us what he would have gotten from Walmart anyway.
[05:06]	schestowitz[TR]	it's "GOP"
[05:07]	schestowitz[TR]	"DO NOT BE RACIST!!!"
[05:07]	DaemonFC	Plus he would have lost 40 sick hours.
[05:07]	schestowitz[TR]	"do not support this inquest!!"
[05:07]	DaemonFC	It's better to max out your sick hours.
[05:07]	schestowitz[TR]	denmar has canceled the boosters
[05:07]	schestowitz[TR]	denmark, the publishing leader (per capita)
[05:07]	DaemonFC	Having lots of sick hours in the bank makes it really hard for them to fire you if shit happens later.
[05:07]	schestowitz[TR]	switzerland had the highest vaccine "hesistancy" rate for COVID-19
[05:07]	schestowitz[TR]	in central europe (IIRC)
[05:08]	DaemonFC	Because you have to blow through all of those sick hours and get 5 attendance points on top of that.
[05:08]	schestowitz[TR]	switzerland the pharma capital
[05:08]	DaemonFC	His coworkers never have any sick hours because they want to go to the concert or smoke marijuana that day.
[05:08]	schestowitz[TR]	DaemonFC: I have not taken sick days off work
[05:08]	DaemonFC	So they call in and then they're in the points and then there's no job.
[05:08]	schestowitz[TR]	trying to recall if ever
[05:08]	schestowitz[TR]	I think never
[05:08]	schestowitz[TR]	never called in sick

[05:09]	schestowitz[TR]	i am not good at faking or lying
[05:09]	schestowitz[TR]	i did miss some days at school for illness
[05:09]	schestowitz[TR]	not after age 14 iirc
[05:09]	DaemonFC	I just stopped fucking going to school.
[05:10]	schestowitz[TR]	good for you
[05:10]	DaemonFC	Did I miss anything? Not really.
[05:10]	schestowitz[TR]	<DaemonFC> I just stopped fucking going to school.
[05:10]	schestowitz[TR]	after f**ing yourself
[05:10]	schestowitz[TR]	in school
[05:10]	schestowitz[TR]	accoridng to you
[05:10]	schestowitz[TR]	or just the catholic school
[05:10]	DaemonFC	I took the test and got the equivalent certificate without wasting another 4 years in Hell with people beating me up and me having to go to detention for it.
[05:10]	DaemonFC	Oh yeah, public masturbation in Catholic school.
[05:11]	DaemonFC	You can tell I was really firebombing trying to get out of that place.
[05:11]	schestowitz[TR]	Catholic school is not microsoft
[05:11]	DaemonFC	My parents wouldn't let me just leave even though there was nothing wrong with public school in Indiana back then.
[05:11]	schestowitz[TR]	you cannot just whack off in your office
[05:11]	schestowitz[TR]	in fropnt of colleagues
[05:11]	DaemonFC	They didn't call the police about it.
[05:11]	schestowitz[TR]	Catholic school still has higher standards than "just the tip" microsoft
[05:12]	DaemonFC	They just said get him out of here.
[05:12]	schestowitz[TR]	sounds like a scene from Ametican Pie VII
[05:12]	DaemonFC	I mean, what are they going to say? We have an 8 year old playing with himself in the classroom?
[05:13]	DaemonFC	Today they'd probably just call the police.
[05:13]	schestowitz[TR]	no
[05:13]	schestowitz[TR]	they even police on the beat
[05:13]	schestowitz[TR]	on campus and hallways
[05:13]	schestowitz[TR]	they would even beat up young girls
[05:13]	schestowitz[TR]	or sit on them
[05:13]	DaemonFC	You don't want to deal with the police.
[05:13]	schestowitz[TR]	i don't
[05:13]	schestowitz[TR]	i learned
[05:14]	schestowitz[TR]	not because they abused me
[05:14]	schestowitz[TR]	i saw them abuse others
[05:14]	schestowitz[TR]	and they never solved a crime I reported
[05:14]	schestowitz[TR]	or gaave testimony on
[05:14]	DaemonFC	When the police get out there, they're as dangerous to you as they are to the person you called them about.
[05:14]	schestowitz[TR]	so i stopped talking to them, too
[05:14]	DaemonFC	Their viewpoint is they don't know what the Hell is going on.
[05:14]	schestowitz[TR]	when I was 22 ish the guard at the ahlls of rsidence cautioned me
[05:15]	DaemonFC	You might be involved in this and are just trying to get out ahead of it and throw off suspicion by going to them first.
[05:15]	schestowitz[TR]	i think one of them was a former cop
[05:15]	schestowitz[TR]	jamie
[05:15]	schestowitz[TR]	they said, don't criticise cops over the phone
[05:15]	schestowitz[TR]	or the police would make you the target
[05:15]	schestowitz[TR]	claiming "slander"
[05:15]	schestowitz[TR]	they dropped me offf their van after I gave testimony
[05:15]	schestowitz[TR]	and they dropped me off near the scene of the crime
[05:16]	schestowitz[TR]	one of the perpetrators was still nearby
[05:16]	schestowitz[TR]	as i left their van
[05:16]	schestowitz[TR]	for days I worried they had stalked me back to my place
[05:16]	schestowitz[TR]	and would seek revenge
[05:16]	DaemonFC	We don't have "Police Caution" here, unless it's just a traffic thing. Then there's verbal caution which doesn't get written down anywhere so you can get as many of those as you want as long as it doesn't get documented, and there's written caution.
[05:16]	schestowitz[TR]	they had punched some man just for being irish
[05:16]	DaemonFC	If they give you four warnings in a year, it turns into a general citation for too many warnings.
[05:17]	schestowitz[TR]	knocked him out unconscious
[05:17]	schestowitz[TR]	3 of them
[05:17]	schestowitz[TR]	the police does not seek to care about safety much
[05:17]	schestowitz[TR]	they just want to score points
[05:17]	DaemonFC	Most people never get 4 warning tickets from the police because they either verbally caution to save themselves time or write you a ticket.
[05:17]	schestowitz[TR]	and would use fellow people
[05:17]	schestowitz[TR]	towards that goal
[05:17]	DaemonFC	Lately, they just write you a ticket.
[05:17]	DaemonFC	Everyone they pull over in Illinois gets a ticket.
[05:17]	schestowitz[TR]	wanted to get me to give testimony against a next-door neighbour
[05:18]	schestowitz[TR]	after he had punched his partner in the face, she said
[05:18]	DaemonFC	You may have heard that you should talk to the cops at a traffic stop because they have discretion about issuing a ticket.
[05:18]	DaemonFC	But the government is effectively bankrupt.
[05:18]	DaemonFC	And tickets are money.
[05:18]	DaemonFC	So you may as well cooperate to the minimum legal amount.

[07:11]	TR Bot	 Stanford scholars co-signed Sam Bankman-Fried's $250 million bail deal | CNN Business
[07:11]	DaemonFC	"Prosecutors noted Bankman-Fried chose to use a VPN, or virtual private network, to watch the Super Bowl, even though it was readily available to watch in the US. A VPN is commonly used at businesses, but it also allows a user to disguise the computer they are using to access the internet.
[07:11]	DaemonFC	The use of a VPN, they said, could also make it harder for them to track asset transfers."
[07:16]	DaemonFC	It's a catch-all clause that's in almost every probation agreement, no matter what you're on probation for, that if you use electronic devices, they can snoop around and you have to unlock them and they don't need a warrant to monitor anything you do online.
[07:18]	DaemonFC	There's usually about 8 million Americans on probation or parole at any given time.
[07:19]	DaemonFC	That's more people than live in Indiana who have no right to privacy from the government at all.
[07:19]	DaemonFC	So if you are on probation or parole, as long as it doesn't expressly forbid you from using Tor and a VPN, I'd recommend it.

[07:20]	DaemonFC	It also doesn't say that you can't turn off your browser cache and history and delete them.
[07:20]	DaemonFC	It just says they can search them and look at whatever's already there.
[07:22]	DaemonFC	So if there's nothing there because you're using Brave Tor Tabs on top of Mullvad, then they can get, at best, a bunch of heavily encrypted who-knows-what from your ISP, and if they come search your device, there's no record of anything either.. 
[07:23]	DaemonFC	Basically, most people who end up on probation are not computer experts.
[07:24]	DaemonFC	So they're probably using Windows and going about their business like they always would, and everyone they interact with is logging everything and then you have all of this potential evidence laying around.
[07:24]	DaemonFC	The most important thing in a legal dispute is that you can deny something ever happened and they've got nothing.
[07:25]	DaemonFC	If you can't do this "area denial" then at least do what you can.
[07:27]	DaemonFC	Area denial is a military term. It's exactly what it sounds like. Two armies are at war. One is trying to advance, and perhaps the defender can't just come up and fucking kill all of them or force them into retreat, but they can use Area Denial to force the enemy to enter through a chokepoint where they're more exposed and take heavier losses, or just slow down their advance to give the defender time to prepare.
[07:28]	DaemonFC	So this can be anything from mobilizing your civilians to build a trench around the city, like the Russians did in WW II around Moscow so that the enemy tanks and troops can't get through easily, to burying landmines everywhere, like the 38th Parallel DMZ in Korea.
[07:31]	DaemonFC	It's best to think of court as like enemy action. Your goal is to disrupt, deny, and sabotage (including "poisoning the well"), all while making it appear like you're just going to court and having your lawyer make motions, and pissing in a cup for probation. And not all methods, or even most, are illegal. They're just what any smart person would do.
[07:32]	DaemonFC	If anything could possibly be useful to the enemy, you take it away. The Russians apparently don't know that because they keep running away from operational tanks and fighting vehicles they can't take with them instead of tossing a few grenades inside first.

[07:36]	DaemonFC	You have to start thinking like an insurgent when you're a defendant in court and the enemy is the government.
[07:37]	DaemonFC	These people are big, they have unlimited resources, there's no way to just meet them on the battlefield and hope for the best.
[07:37]	DaemonFC	How do you start picking away at what they have?
[07:37]	DaemonFC	First off, you shouldn't give them anything they don't have already.
[07:38]	DaemonFC	But from there you need to assess the situation and see exactly what they think they have on you.
[07:38]	DaemonFC	The harder the cops try to convince you to talk to them, the more that tells you they need more.
[07:39]	DaemonFC	The most damning thing that could have happened would be that there's lots of evidence of whatever accusation someone made against you, or that the cop themselves saw it and can testify to that effect.
[07:40]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], That's what I meant when I said don't interact with the police.
[07:40]	DaemonFC	The more you're out of their line of sight the less they can testify to.
[07:41]	DaemonFC	Police testimony is one of the worst things for you when something gets to court, other than your own admission of guilt.
[07:41]	DaemonFC	When I lived in Indiana, I smoked pot quite a bit.
[07:42]	DaemonFC	And you know how I went to where I bought it and home?
[07:42]	DaemonFC	On foot or in a city bus or via taxi.
[07:43]	DaemonFC	And when I was at home, close the curtains.
[07:43]	DaemonFC	It doesn't hurt to open a window if you're up on one of the higher floors though.
[07:43]	DaemonFC	That way nobody smells something and calls them.
[07:45]	DaemonFC	I got smarter about it after I got caught once when I was a teenager.
[07:45]	DaemonFC	The Republican Party in Indiana is talking about decriminalizing weed now.
[07:46]	DaemonFC	I mean, it's not close to happening, but now that the Senate is talking about it, I mean, this is a monumental shift.
[07:47]	DaemonFC	This is Indiana, the one that sent cops through all the schools to give the kids "First it's weed, and then before you know it it's crack." speeches.

[09:25]	DaemonFC	The long barrel makes it hard to lead a target up close. So they're massively overrated for home defense.

[09:26]	DaemonFC	If you saw the barrel off, you've committed a felony.

[09:29]	schestowitz[TR]	or mass shootings
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR]	which are, in effect, warzones
[09:30]	DaemonFC	I can see the mass shooter's angle though, the mindset. I understand it.
[09:30]	DaemonFC	Society has failed you. Not any one particular person, but all of them in some way. And you're angry about it.
[09:30]	DaemonFC	You can't get all of them, but you can just open fire into a crowd and kill as many of them as possible. Then yourself, before the police get to you.
[09:31]	DaemonFC	One last middle finger. The courts can't do anything about you so you've also denied people any closure.

[09:31]	schestowitz[TR]	yesterday i studied uk suicide figures
[09:31]	schestowitz[TR]	they distinguish causes a bit
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR]	suppose there are more that are "unknown" or homicides
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR]	or murder-suicide
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR]	either way,
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR]	in 2022 it was not a lot higher than prior years
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR]	I wanted to know because of COVID-19 and mortality
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR]	the suicides don't contribute much to the surge
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR]	maybe 1-5% of the surge
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR]	the other 95%+ is something else
[09:33]	DaemonFC	Many people who "recover" from COVID find out that the symptoms are never going away.
[09:33]	DaemonFC	And they end up offing themselves.
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR]	yeah, but
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR]	that's why I checked ONS figures
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR]	per week the uk has about 100 suicides or fewer
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR]	the surplus in deaths is like 3,000
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR]	some weeks it's 2,000
[09:33]	DaemonFC	I understand things are getting bad there in general.
[09:34]	DaemonFC	Bad economy, lost jobs.
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR]	the INCREASE in suicides per week is about 10-20
[09:34]	DaemonFC	I mean, people get to a point where they figure they'll never see daylight again.
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR]	10-20 is not 2,000-3,000
[09:34]	DaemonFC	And right or wrong, you know, that's what it is.
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR]	but that line you push there
[09:34]	DaemonFC	Mom was asking me why people kill themselves when they get a setback.
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR]	it's face-saving
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR]	because there is something else

[21:27]	TR Bot	 Microsoft commits to the "Industrial Metaverse"
[21:27]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], ^
[21:28]	DaemonFC	We need an article about the "Metaverse" being a viral meme among tech company CEOs, like Large Language Models which can hallucinate an article on the many scientifically established benefits of eating ground glass.
[21:29]	DaemonFC	This was not the original article, btw.
[21:30]	DaemonFC	The original version said that Microsoft was cutting everything that couldn't "produce significant profits in the near-term".
[21:31]	DaemonFC	And then Microsoft obviously contacted them to have them take it down or re-spin the situation.
[21:31]	DaemonFC	The original article is still there.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz
[21:35]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[21:35]	DaemonFC	Microsoft contacted a company that wrote about their failed HoLOLens unit and demanded that they neutralize the article.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	I'm working on preserving the original article before they can take it down later and make it appear that they never said these things.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	Then I'll cite it on my blog.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	Big companies have a way of silencing shareholders. There should have been a Vote of No Confidence in Satya Nadella already, but Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer are still at work using this guy as a puppet.

[22:06]	TR Bot	 Tesla recalls 362,758 vehicles, says FSD Beta software may cause crashes
[22:09]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz
[22:09]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:09]	DaemonFC	The [Tesla] FSD Beta may Act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution, according to a safety recall report on the website of the NHTSA.
[22:09]	DaemonFC	The FSD Beta system may also have trouble responding appropriately to changes in posted speed limits, the notice said.

[22:22]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:22]	DaemonFC	LLMs like Chat with Bing have no inherent sense of truth, so the statement that 2022 is in the future is plausible due to the fact that it's a text generator that doesn't account for the unidirectional flow of time.
[22:22]	DaemonFC	As far as it's concerned, time might flow backwards, rendering the December 16th 2022 release of Avatar: The Way of Water into the future from where we are at now. Since you can't buy tickets until the movie is released, and 2022 is the future, it follows that there's no showtimes.

[22:29]	DaemonFC	A downstate Illinois man who burned the flag and got arrested for it celebrated his $15,000 wrongful arrest settlement by burning another flag and posting it to YouTube.
[22:29]	DaemonFC	https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/113me4m/now_this_is_praxis/
[22:29]	DaemonFC	In the original story, the arrest came because the police department said he was getting death threats and they felt compelled to file criminal charges against him "for his own safety.

[22:35]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz
[22:35]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:35]	DaemonFC	In addition to allowing the public to make death threats and trying to get him fired and doxing, the cops arrested Mellot for Disorderly Conduct and flag desecration.
[22:35]	DaemonFC	The charges were dismissed.
[22:35]	DaemonFC	But he found out good and early in life that America will eventually try to bend you over and fuck you and fuck you and it'll keep on fucking you until you'd rather be dead just to make the fucking stop, and then if you're lucky enough that it does stop they'll demand that you tell it thank you.
[22:39]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz
[22:39]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:39]	DaemonFC	I learned the lesson that I mentioned in my last post a few years ago. I always knew on some level that my government didn't care if I lived or died and then my day came where it was fucking, fucking, and more fucking, and then having to tell it thanks for stopping.
[22:39]	DaemonFC	I have no idea why anyone would be angry about someone burning the flag. If there's anything outrageous about the flag it's that some people buy one and run it up a flag pole at their own expense while the system is nasty to them.

[23:28]	DaemonFC	If the government, the feds no less, had evidence that you were out on bail tampering with evidence and threatening witnesses using privacy networks to get away with it, they would revoke your bail immediately.
[23:28]	DaemonFC	For SBF, he calls that a Wednesday, and when the federal judge has something to say about that, his lawyer debates what SBF will "allow" as part of his bail terms.
