| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.spinics.net | [PATCH 3.16 57/61] x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) mitigation — Linux Stable Kernel Updates | Jun 16 00:00 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | Another performance crippling workaround for Intel. | Jun 16 00:00 |
| *psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jun 16 00:01 | |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: You do realise that to move somewhen that when has to exist in some form | Jun 16 00:01 |
| MinceR | so what | Jun 16 00:01 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: It stopped existing the moment the state changed. | Jun 16 00:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Fuck. | Jun 16 00:02 |
| MinceR | no problem, just go back in time to the point when it still existed | Jun 16 00:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I guess I'm just going to update my kernel command line to mitigations=off. | Jun 16 00:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This is becoming a Christmas tree of Intel bug shit. | Jun 16 00:03 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: "Man cannot breathe on Venus" – "no problem, just fill it with oxygen" | Jun 16 00:03 |
| MinceR | take a spacesuit | Jun 16 00:06 |
| XRevan86 | I think of this as anthropocentric, because with narrative thinking it is *very* easy to think of the past and the future, and how one would interact with it. | Jun 16 00:06 |
| MinceR | so anything that's easy to think in terms of is "anthropocentric"? | Jun 16 00:07 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: No, it's just hard to fit this concept into a world without magic. | Jun 16 00:09 |
| XRevan86 | Information never being lost is a very magical thing. | Jun 16 00:10 |
| MinceR | spacetime is magic? | Jun 16 00:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There we go. That's much cleaner and it disables anything they might add later. | Jun 16 00:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Grrrr. | Jun 16 00:10 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Do you think that the concept of spacetime would allow you to travel backwards? | Jun 16 00:11 |
| MinceR | probably not me, unless i had a time machine or something | Jun 16 00:11 |
| MinceR | even thermodynamics tend to be pretty difficult to resist, despite applying only in a statistical sense | Jun 16 00:11 |
| XRevan86 | it just means that whatever is perceived as time can be warped, slowed down or sped up | Jun 16 00:12 |
| XRevan86 | but in a global sense everything's still in the now, just that some bits are slower, some are faster | Jun 16 00:12 |
| MinceR | not sure about that | Jun 16 00:13 |
| MinceR | time appears to be relative | Jun 16 00:13 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: If you're going very fast and time is slow for you, when you slow down and look around, the stationary stuff experienced time more than you did | Jun 16 00:14 |
| XRevan86 | but if you look from an absolute point of you, you just received less ticks | Jun 16 00:15 |
| XRevan86 | * point of view %) | Jun 16 00:16 |
| XRevan86 | I like it how applicable terms of non-realtime computing are here. Because time is relative there, heh. | Jun 16 00:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I just ran a 4 thread Opus encode from WavPack. | Jun 16 00:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apparently, enough Intel mitigations had been added since I last revisited my switches to disable them that just switching to mitigations=off sped up a 4 thread transcoding job by a further 12%. | Jun 16 00:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think when I last revisited the issue and added pti=off spectre_v2=off l1tf=off nospec_store_bypass_disable no_stf_barrier the process sped up by about 14%. | Jun 16 00:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | These mitigations are pretty severe and they just keep piling up. | Jun 16 00:22 |
| MinceR | if the terms of non-realtime computing are applicable, that's anthropocentric per your earlier argument | Jun 16 00:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We're looking at Intel robbing you of something like 25%-ish of the performance your Skylake CPU had when you bought it. | Jun 16 00:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some of their new chips are "not affected", but that's because they changed the way the chip did something to where it's probably slower than it could have been and you can't do anything, and then the kernel ends up having to mitigate things on those CPUs as well. | Jun 16 00:24 |
| psydread | oh, that's becoming interesting | Jun 16 00:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This is fucking terrible. Linus was not as harsh on Intel as he should have been. | Jun 16 00:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The truth is that these new Intel CPUs are not shockingly faster than the old models. | Jun 16 00:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They just sabotaged the older ones so much that it would appear that way if you bought the new one. | Jun 16 00:26 |
| psydread | I have Skylake and Kaby Lake and am not even looking at the new ones | Jun 16 00:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Intel is falling apart. | Jun 16 00:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Their CPUs from the last 4 years have accumulated more serious bugs than the entirety of everything that they released in the previous 16 years. | Jun 16 00:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No, my next system will be AMD. | Jun 16 00:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Cheaper and they don't have all these damned bugs. | Jun 16 00:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So many piled up that affected Skylake that you can have 11 switches on your kernel command line to turn them off or just mitigations=off. | Jun 16 00:28 |
| MinceR | same | Jun 16 00:29 |
| psydread | I've linked to it before, but it looks like Intel doesn't do rigorous verification the way it used to do | Jun 16 00:29 |
| psydread | http://danluu.com/cpu-bugs/ | Jun 16 00:29 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-danluu.com | CPU bugs | Jun 16 00:29 | |
| MinceR | also, maybe the boot firmware isn't totally fucked up on AMD | Jun 16 00:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They have been affected by a couple of the bugs, but the performance drag isn't shockingly bad. | Jun 16 00:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The worst one of all of them is Page Table Isolation, and AMD CPUs don't need that one. | Jun 16 00:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That one alone costs you 7% of the CPU's performance on transcoding Wavpack to Opus. | Jun 16 00:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Not every workload is hit the same. | Jun 16 00:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | KPTI can take away up to 30% of the performance out of some database workloads. | Jun 16 00:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "for database engine PostgreSQL the impact on read-only tests on an Intel Skylake processor was 7–17% (or 16–23% without PCID), while a full benchmark lost 13–19% (Coffee Lake vs. Broadwell-E)." | Jun 16 00:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Process context identifiers can avoid a TLB flush, but the impact of KPTI is still bad. | Jun 16 00:34 |

| *XRevan86 always thought that database engines are a concept specific to DBMS' like MariaDB where a modular design allows swapping one module for database interaction with another. | Jun 16 00:39 | |
| XRevan86 | How does this apply to PostgreSQL which has just one set of code for interaction with a physical database? (excluding stuff like memory DBs) | Jun 16 00:40 |
| XRevan86 | I can't find them calling it an engine anywhere either. | Jun 16 00:43 |
| schestowitz | [00:29] <psydread> http://danluu.com/cpu-bugs/ | Jun 16 00:45 |
| schestowitz | should say "CPU Defects" | Jun 16 00:45 |
| schestowitz | not bugs | Jun 16 00:45 |
| XRevan86 | It's like saying that an adblocker in Vivaldi is an add-on, because that's what adblockers are, right? | Jun 16 00:45 |
| schestowitz | bugs you can squash | Jun 16 00:45 |
| schestowitz | you cannot fix silicon in place... | Jun 16 00:45 |
| schestowitz | We need to change the way people refers to these. They're manufacturing defects | Jun 16 00:46 |
| MinceR | you might be able to, for example if it's in an FPGA | Jun 16 00:46 |
| XRevan86 | Vivaldi built-in adblocker extension %) | Jun 16 00:46 |
| schestowitz | working around the issue does not change the existence of the defects, it's the microcode that changes a bit | Jun 16 00:46 |
| schestowitz | those aren't programmable circuits | Jun 16 00:46 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: yes, that''s what I was getting at | Jun 16 00:47 |
| schestowitz | I developed a calculator on a programmable circuit when i was 19 | Jun 16 00:47 |
| schestowitz | I think that needs only a few hundreds of transistors, not hundreds of millions | Jun 16 00:48 |
| XRevan86 | Or I don't know, trying to find a windowing system in Windows, even though it clearly doesn't have anything distinct that this unixy term can be applied to. | Jun 16 00:48 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Yeah, I got after someone for suggesting sticking to an older kernel without kpti. | Jun 16 00:50 |
| schestowitz | sometimes things get too bloated | Jun 16 00:50 |
| schestowitz | like Vista | Jun 16 00:50 |
| schestowitz | and then you have no simple fix | Jun 16 00:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said it was not a long term solution and was much worse for security than going ahead with new kernels and disabling the mitigations. | Jun 16 00:50 |
| schestowitz | other than starting over with something simpler | Jun 16 00:50 |
| MinceR | there's a simple fix for vista | Jun 16 00:50 |
| MinceR | overwrite it with a real OS | Jun 16 00:50 |
| schestowitz | the do it right, like nginx over apache | Jun 16 00:50 |
| MinceR | i prefer lighttpd to nginx | Jun 16 00:51 |
| MinceR | because it isn't open core :> | Jun 16 00:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sticking with an old kernel just gives you the hardware defects and whatever regular bugs pile up unpatched in your kernel. | Jun 16 00:51 |
| schestowitz | Intel is a beast of transistors that get smaller and smaller, they've lost control of the frankenCPU | Jun 16 00:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not a solution. | Jun 16 00:51 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: and isn't burdened with documentation | Jun 16 00:51 |
| schestowitz | and then they even added another MINIX-based OS that's in practice like a back door... maybe throw 10 more OSes on each chips? No... | Jun 16 00:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Management Engine is not active on this laptop. | Jun 16 00:52 |
| schestowitz | lighttpd is almost extinct | Jun 16 00:52 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: or with developers, or with decent configuration syntax | Jun 16 00:52 |
| schestowitz | I checked the other day when researching netcraft for an article I was preparing | Jun 16 00:52 |
| XRevan86 | This reminds me that I should check how h2o is doing. | Jun 16 00:53 |

| schestowitz | like HPC/Top 500 it's quickly approaching 0% market share | Jun 16 00:53 |
| XRevan86 | Actively developed, yet still unable to come up with a fresh stable release. Still better than lighttpd. | Jun 16 00:54 |
| MinceR | XRevan86: nginx has documentation? | Jun 16 00:55 |
| MinceR | 16 015148 < schestowitz> and then they even added another MINIX-based OS that's in practice like a back door... maybe throw 10 more OSes on each chips? No... | Jun 16 00:56 |
| MinceR | UEFI is yet another OS | Jun 16 00:56 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Quite a detailed one. | Jun 16 00:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I got an email back from my bankruptcy lawyer. | Jun 16 00:56 |
| MinceR | or rather, the code providing it is one | Jun 16 00:56 |
| MinceR | but everyone uses TianoCore anyway | Jun 16 00:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She said don't worry about the $400 doctor bill from April that the insurance kicked back to them. No asset Chapter 7s discharge all debt even if you forget to list something. | Jun 16 00:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they try to pursue it, send them a copy of the discharge petition with a letter stating that this debt happened before I filed. | Jun 16 00:57 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Even generic UEFI is quite capable. | Jun 16 00:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The generic uEFI code seems to be useful mostly for something like Coreboot that needs a uEFI payload that quacks like uEFI. | Jun 16 00:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's worth something, I suppose. | Jun 16 00:58 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: I meant just "anything compliant to spec" | Jun 16 00:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Although I'm not sure what OS other than Windows doesn't support Coreboot natively. | Jun 16 00:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | With Windows, you can boot using SeaBIOS or the uEFI payload that's based on Tianocore. | Jun 16 00:59 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: I considered tianocore for my coreboot, but it's kind of big. | Jun 16 00:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | SeaBIOS is also useful for getting a DOS system booted up. | Jun 16 01:00 |
| XRevan86 | So I stayed on the safe side with SeaBIOS. It just works anyway. | Jun 16 01:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I loved FreeDOS. | Jun 16 01:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I used it through the mid 2000s on two of my older computers that weren't even good enough for Windows 95. | Jun 16 01:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It gave them a supported OS that they could still run. | Jun 16 01:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You could do quite a bit with DOS actually. They had a version of LAME and an MP3 player for DOS. | Jun 16 01:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Arachne browser supported playing MP3 files while you browsed the web. | Jun 16 01:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There were tons and tons of office programs, and of course, games. | Jun 16 01:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't know if the LAME for DOS is still something you can build. | Jun 16 01:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The last release that I saw in binary form was LAME 3.96. | Jun 16 01:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was actually kind of sad to see DOS go. | Jun 16 01:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | GUIs still manage to need increasingly powerful computers even decades on. | Jun 16 01:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | For questionable reasons. | Jun 16 01:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Buying condoms from Amazon Warehouse Deals seems kind of funny. | Jun 16 01:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They sell stuff where the package got a little messed up but the product inside is okay, but the law says they can't sell it as new anymore. | Jun 16 01:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they list it as used condoms for sale. | Jun 16 01:21 |
| MinceR | :) | Jun 16 01:21 |
| MinceR | do they have used toilet paper, too? | Jun 16 01:21 |

| DaemonFC[m] | <MinceR "do they have used toilet paper, "> I'm not sure which is scarier. However Al Bundy washing out his condoms and reusing them is how Bud and Kelly happened. | Jun 16 01:31 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Al Bundy was one of my favorite TV characters of all time. | Jun 16 01:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That whole show was great. Parody of the "clean family-oriented programming" like the Cosby Show. | Jun 16 01:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then Bill Cosby turns out to be a rapist who was drugging women after the far right made him their hero in the 80s and 90s. | Jun 16 01:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: In Futureman he's in the past and someone tells him "You're starting to make me hate Bill Cosby.". | Jun 16 01:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He says, "Yeah, well, get used to that I guess.". | Jun 16 01:49 |

| MinceR | :> | Jun 16 01:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, but the 50,000 megaton weed whacker for old people that Trump let in while he was busy golfing ought to correct for that somewhat. | Jun 16 01:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Best case, there's easily enough of COVID-19 out there to kill 200,000 Americans before election day. | Jun 16 01:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's a lot of old people (the group responsible for Trump) that won't get to re-offend. | Jun 16 01:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | While the hardest hit states might look like "Oh, that doesn't matter.", it's an even bigger disaster for House Republicans who need to take back the suburbs in blue states. | Jun 16 01:59 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Twitler starts his "packed stadium rallies" up in 4 days. | Jun 16 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only states and cities going for it are ones dominated by the Republican Party. | Jun 16 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So have fun with that I guess. | Jun 16 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's difficult to see how rallies in Oklahoma help him. He was 20 points ahead already. | Jun 16 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The electoral system we have makes it irrelevant how many votes he gets in Oklahoma. If he does better than a 20 point lead by a few points because of the rallies, it's essentially wasted votes. | Jun 16 02:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The knife cuts both ways. | Jun 16 02:02 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: I heard me makes the attendees sign waivers in case of COVID-19 contraction. | Jun 16 02:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | While the electoral college got him in last time, it also limits the value of expending resources in a state that is not a swing state. | Jun 16 02:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which he is doing....for some reason. | Jun 16 02:02 |
| XRevan86 | Which makes pragmatic sense, but also shows the risks he's willing to get his supporters to make for this. | Jun 16 02:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <XRevan86 "DaemonFC: I heard me makes the a"> He does. He doesn't want anyone suing him over wrongful death after they attend a rally and get Liberal Hoax-19 and die. | Jun 16 02:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Of course, even if they signed that, their family didn't, and they would be the ones that sue the campaign over wrongful death since death kind of stops the individual from suing over their wrongful death. | Jun 16 02:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Fuck them. | Jun 16 02:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they get sick and die, less Republicans. | Jun 16 02:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they get sick and live, the faster this thing burns out. | Jun 16 02:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There is no downside. | Jun 16 02:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He knows how to give the people what they want, at least. | Jun 16 02:05 |

| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: spread | Jun 16 02:05 |
| MinceR | so let them | Jun 16 02:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's something horribly ironic about a man in his 70s holding up a sign that says "Sacrifice the weak! Open up!". | Jun 16 02:05 |

| DaemonFC[m] | It would have been better had this started going full force back in January because it would have gotten 60 more days to mow down a bunch of Republicans and get them out of the way before the election. | Jun 16 02:07 |
| MinceR | when is election day? | Jun 16 02:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: There's like 4.6 million people who will have reached 18 between 2016 and 2020 elections who could conceivably vote if they want. | Jun 16 02:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Plus COVID is going to kill something like 200,000 old people, who very nearly all vote. | Jun 16 02:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So, bonus. | Jun 16 02:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Early Retirement". | Jun 16 02:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Quit fucking up my country. | Jun 16 02:08 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: It's a calculated sacrifice. Like with the constitution plebiscite. | Jun 16 02:08 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They have it set up so that if anyone did come in with a gun to kill everyone, that they could hit a panic button and hide behind locked doors and bulletproof glass and the only people to die would be a rent-a-cop and a bunch of other people on probation. | Jun 16 02:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's nice to see what the system thinks of you at least. | Jun 16 02:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's sickening. | Jun 16 02:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The right-wing fake media is making as much hay out of the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone as they can. Fox News got caught photoshopping people with machine guns into some pictures. | Jun 16 02:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When black people have guns it's basically a national emergency. | Jun 16 02:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In fact, a lot of these gun control laws are racist shit, and that's why the NRA used to support it. | Jun 16 02:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They figured that if you banned felons from owning a gun you'd strip gun rights from about 9 black people for every 1 white guy. | Jun 16 02:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When a crime is something that white people tend to commit or it could be anyone doing it, it's usually either a misdemeanor or a "wobbler", where whites get the misdemeanor, and black people get the felony. | Jun 16 02:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: There was a wobbler law with what the cops came after me with. | Jun 16 02:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They could have charged it as a felony. | Jun 16 02:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't think they did me any favors though. | Jun 16 02:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They didn't do any actual police work and by the time they figured out that Shithead was my ex and that this could be a domestic violence felony, we were already in court and the best they could do was reassign the case to a domestic violence courtroom on plain misdemeanor assault charges. | Jun 16 02:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: So, if they bothered to gather facts, it would have been charged as a Class E Felony and then they would have waved their dicks around and used it to extract a plea to an A Misdemeanor. | Jun 16 02:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Instead they started with A misdemeanors and had to plead it down to 1 Class C Misdemeanor. | Jun 16 02:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Sometimes the state gets in it own way when it's trying to be incredibly malicious. | Jun 16 02:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was at the police station wondering if I was going to get a felony and then when the cop said "Your roommate John told us blah blah blah." I didn't correct them and signed the citation agreeing that I had been charged with a misdemeanor. | Jun 16 02:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then we get through the arraignment court and I was arraigned on misdemeanor assault, then at the next court date, we had hammered out a deal with the prosecutor already, but they said, "Whoa, wait a minute. We talked to John and it turns out John is his ex, so this needs to go to Domestic Violence court.", but it was too late to charge it as that. | Jun 16 02:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I got extremely lucky. Not only did I plead down to not a hell of a lot and an eventual dismissal of the case, but as disorderly conduct you can go get it expunged in a couple of years. | Jun 16 02:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: "Don't interrupt the enemy when he's making a mistake.". | Jun 16 02:26 |
| MinceR | sometimes it's a good idea to interrupt the enemy when he's making a mistake :> | Jun 16 02:26 |
| MinceR | e.g. the enemy is trying to escape from you but passes through your threatened area :> | Jun 16 02:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, Sun Tzu meant it in the context of when he's making a tactical error that benefits you. | Jun 16 02:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The best way to deal with the SSA is just the facts. | Jun 16 02:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You have to answer their questions, but that's all you should do. As succinctly as possible while conveying the intended information. | Jun 16 02:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When you talk to the police, you hand them your ID and then say you're not taking any questions. | Jun 16 02:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's a lot of ways it could have gone at the police station. One useful fact that I might have given them had I agreed to be interrogated was the nature of my relationship with John. | Jun 16 02:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The system in the UK is actually worse. | Jun 16 02:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You can refuse to talk to the police, but if you don't tell them something and then try to use it as a defense, you might not be able to. | Jun 16 02:33 |

| DaemonFC[m] | It's kind of interesting that people tend to either believe that they are the biggest influence on everything in their life, and people who believe that shit just happens and someone has to clean it up. | Jun 16 02:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's a degree of both. | Jun 16 02:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You have to influence the outcome and then hope for the best and then clean up the mess if it blows up on you anyway. | Jun 16 02:56 |

| schestowitz | Oh, John is the ex bf | Jun 16 03:03 |
| schestowitz | Ryan, let me tell you something | Jun 16 03:03 |
| schestowitz | we went to the stores yesterday | Jun 16 03:03 |
| schestowitz | 9am | Jun 16 03:03 |
| schestowitz | as soon as they reopened | Jun 16 03:03 |
| schestowitz | after nearly 3 months | Jun 16 03:03 |
| schestowitz | it was a bit depressing | Jun 16 03:04 |
| schestowitz | doesn't look like they can be profitable unless salaries are lowered and prices raised | Jun 16 03:04 |
| schestowitz | I don't think this whole "reopen the market" thing will work | Jun 16 03:04 |
| schestowitz | feels like end of an era | Jun 16 03:05 |
| schestowitz | I went to the record store | Jun 16 03:05 |
| schestowitz | not many people there (or anywhere else) | Jun 16 03:05 |
| schestowitz | I wonder who buys those things now... and branded clothes | Jun 16 03:05 |
| schestowitz | it's not like people are going to 'go out' much to strut their stuff any time soon | Jun 16 03:05 |
| schestowitz | the whole consumption/spendings cycle is over | Jun 16 03:06 |
| schestowitz | people lack the money to spend | Jun 16 03:06 |
| schestowitz | and those who still have money lack the confidence to waste it on luxiries | Jun 16 03:06 |
| schestowitz | so the rich get richer | Jun 16 03:06 |
| schestowitz | people buy necessities by other means | Jun 16 03:06 |

| schestowitz | yes | Jun 16 03:13 |
| schestowitz | the currencies will be devalued | Jun 16 03:14 |
| schestowitz | so savers too will suffer | Jun 16 03:14 |

| schestowitz | like the wheelbarrows of money in pre-nazi germany | Jun 16 03:15 |
| schestowitz | insmodppa: but the currency itself is the issue | Jun 16 03:16 |
| schestowitz | it will lose value | Jun 16 03:16 |
| schestowitz | also, they can stop accepting banknotes all of a sudden | Jun 16 03:16 |
| schestowitz | today they keep announcing, "please use contactless payments" | Jun 16 03:16 |
| schestowitz | i.e. surveillance | Jun 16 03:16 |
| schestowitz | of course we only ever pay with cash | Jun 16 03:17 |
| schestowitz | at least we used crisp, pristine backnotes | Jun 16 03:17 |
| schestowitz | not some 'dirty' coins | Jun 16 03:17 |
| schestowitz | In Cyprus they went as far as taking a portion of savers' money | Jun 16 03:21 |
| schestowitz | like 25% IIRC | Jun 16 03:21 |

| insmodppa | At least you don't have to cart wheelbarrows of "legal tender" around when they go full digital. | Jun 16 03:21 |
| schestowitz | maybe you can buy some asset they can less easily claw away at, like houses... | Jun 16 03:21 |
| schestowitz | but they can impose house taxes too | Jun 16 03:22 |
| schestowitz | or houses can have their value plunge | Jun 16 03:22 |
| schestowitz | We withdrew in cash as much as we needed for months to come... back in March | Jun 16 03:23 |
| schestowitz | just in case banks get all awkward | Jun 16 03:23 |
| schestowitz | I even paid a fee on some withdrawal, which is a major ripoff | Jun 16 03:23 |
| insmodppa | I'm surprised the Cyprus debacle isn't brought up more often. As you said, it's mostly forgotten by now. | Jun 16 03:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "feels like end of an era"> Yeah, the mall looked pretty depressing. | Jun 16 03:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're trying to advertise a bunch of sales to get people back in. | Jun 16 03:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some do, most don't. Their anchor stores and the movie theater are in bankruptcy and their restaurants aren't open. | Jun 16 03:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "I went to the record store"> Those were already on the way out. I usually just grab FLACs and convert them to WavPack and stick them on a...stick. | Jun 16 03:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Freed up most of my /home with a $35 thumb drive. Well worth it. You don't need an nvme ssd to play WavPacks. | Jun 16 03:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't reserve too many blocks on my /home and I only reserve like 2% of the blocks on / because 5% is kind of nuts. | Jun 16 03:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In fact, I don't think I reserve blocks at all on /home. | Jun 16 03:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "the whole consumption/spendings "> Walmart and Amazon got a lot busier, but it's because it's the only places people feel comfortable shopping, and Walmart Grocery Pickup and online ordering surged because lots of people do want to stay out of the store or minimize their time in there. | Jun 16 03:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This has been a tremendously good thing for Walmart. The surge in food at home is great for them because they have a grocery store. Also, it forced most other stores to close and got Walmart declared essential because they have a grocery store. | Jun 16 03:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "and people will eventually revol"> Yeah, the Federal Reserve is predicting that unemployment falls to 9% by December, but that seems like a load of crap by a politicized Fed that's another arm of the Trump Campaign now. | Jun 16 03:32 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Then it hit me, if hundreds of thousands of people lose DI right before the election, Trump goes from maybe finished to certainly finished. | Jun 16 03:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I'm thinking the L is that they have an eLection to win so they sucked Skynet's brains out, for now. | Jun 16 03:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | After the election, they can ram their new rules through and set Skynet to kill anything that moves to purge the rolls. | Jun 16 03:37 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They absolutely can fuck up the value of your house. When the mortgage crisis happens, banks foreclose and then the only thing propping up the value of your house is the banks decide not to flood the market so that they don't have to sell them cheaply, but if it's an FHA-backed mortgage, the government might take it and sell it through HUD. | Jun 16 03:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They even have a program called the Dollar Home Program where you can buy a house with serious problems for a few bucks. | Jun 16 03:45 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Primary and Dependent? | Jun 16 04:56 |
| schestowitz | maybe some technical book authors will be deemed offensive and tasteless in the future | Jun 16 04:56 |
| schestowitz | lol | Jun 16 04:56 |
| schestowitz | dependent is not offensive? | Jun 16 04:56 |
| schestowitz | this is what UK Home Office calls people | Jun 16 04:57 |
| schestowitz | implying they're submissive and inferior | Jun 16 04:57 |

| schestowitz | anyway | Jun 16 04:57 |
| schestowitz | how can techrights cover it? | Jun 16 04:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I guess it sounds better than unwilling subjects who kind of have rights, but mostly not. | Jun 16 04:57 |
| schestowitz | without enraging "warriors"? | Jun 16 04:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Plus, less wordy! | Jun 16 04:57 |
| schestowitz | btw, dining places still have servants | Jun 16 04:58 |
| schestowitz | airlines also | Jun 16 04:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I thought that TRIGGERING Matthew Garrett would be the best part. | Jun 16 04:58 |
| schestowitz | call them attendants, or stewards, or service or whatever... | Jun 16 04:58 |

| schestowitz | rianne named one | Jun 16 04:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz ""we're ready for the bill, where"> Yeah, the unemployment is hitting black people a lot worse. They could get restaurant jobs easier than anything else. America is a really fucked up place. | Jun 16 05:00 |
| schestowitz | they make them sound a lot more senior than they are | Jun 16 05:00 |
| schestowitz | maybe "representative" | Jun 16 05:00 |
| schestowitz | or something along those lines | Jun 16 05:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: They call Mandy a Customer Service Host. | Jun 16 05:00 |
| schestowitz | as if fancy job titles alone will fix society's ills when 0.1% of society, the richest, have more wealth than the bottom 90% COMBINED | Jun 16 05:00 |
| schestowitz | ah, "host" of another one | Jun 16 05:01 |
| schestowitz | rianne told me of another | Jun 16 05:01 |
| schestowitz | it's ridiculous | Jun 16 05:01 |

| schestowitz | when they're less qualified than even physio-therapists | Jun 16 05:02 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: who will back the collaterals? | Jun 16 05:02 |
| schestowitz | Let me find that BuzzFeed article | Jun 16 05:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When they go bust? | Jun 16 05:03 |
| schestowitz | I heard about it | Jun 16 05:03 |
| schestowitz | but have not ready it | Jun 16 05:03 |
| schestowitz | hang on... | Jun 16 05:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Retirement accounts fail. | Jun 16 05:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You think the people who package this shit hold onto it? | Jun 16 05:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They didn't last time. | Jun 16 05:03 |
| schestowitz | found this on the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOwhzHKQ97o | Jun 16 05:04 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Buzzfeed gets Zerohedge suspended from Twitter over coronavirus post - YouTube | Jun 16 05:04 | |
| schestowitz | anyway, cannot find it | Jun 16 05:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They'd write a $600,000 mortgage to a nursing assistant and an electrician and then toss it onto someone who didn't know what it was and then ran like hell. | Jun 16 05:04 |
| schestowitz | tl;dr ref said they had claims August would cause the whole system to collapse, leading to societal breakdown (they referred to US specifically) | Jun 16 05:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now it's shopping malls that are missing mortgage payments. | Jun 16 05:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The one in Gurnee missed a $1.4 million dollar installment last month. | Jun 16 05:05 |
| schestowitz | the mall owners? | Jun 16 05:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Simon (a major mall owner) is in trouble. | Jun 16 05:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yep. | Jun 16 05:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Chapter 11 is months away for these malls even though they don't want to say it yet. | Jun 16 05:05 |
| schestowitz | what happens then? | Jun 16 05:06 |
| schestowitz | Can they offload it cheaply? | Jun 16 05:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The mall can be repossessed but then the bank owns a mall that nobody goes to, times tens of thousands. | Jun 16 05:06 |
| schestowitz | will any US oligarch bother? | Jun 16 05:06 |
| schestowitz | They never save their country, they just save away in some tax haven | Jun 16 05:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Lots of abandoned malls that are left to rot until the town uses eminent domain to bulldoze them. | Jun 16 05:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Get it? | Jun 16 05:06 |
| schestowitz | I saw it today | Jun 16 05:07 |
| schestowitz | found it worrying | Jun 16 05:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was already happening before this. | Jun 16 05:07 |
| schestowitz | 1 hour of opening, first hour, after 80 days | Jun 16 05:07 |
| schestowitz | not many people in | Jun 16 05:07 |
| schestowitz | 10 times less than I expected | Jun 16 05:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When the mall fails you just have a gigantic eyesore until someone tears it down. | Jun 16 05:07 |
| schestowitz | empty stores, people not even buying much, just browsing to pass time | Jun 16 05:07 |
| schestowitz | extra stuff for all the health and safety aspects | Jun 16 05:07 |
| schestowitz | it's a good thing they tore down the outlet near us | Jun 16 05:08 |
| schestowitz | and didn't start building the new one they had planned | Jun 16 05:08 |
| schestowitz | with a cinema! | Jun 16 05:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Seems like many people aren't falling for the attempted gaslighting that the politicians figured would turn it into a V shaped recession. | Jun 16 05:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's looking like an L to me, W at best. | Jun 16 05:08 |
| schestowitz | they would not want to turn it into parking area now, either... | Jun 16 05:08 |
| schestowitz | maybe follow the demands to turn it into a forest | Jun 16 05:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've been hoping for years that something would destroy the shopping malls. | Jun 16 05:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This should be a public park. Kids should be playing there. Families should be having picnics. | Jun 16 05:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Instead you get this giant piece of shit to look at. | Jun 16 05:09 |
| schestowitz | so what's the plan? | Jun 16 05:09 |
| schestowitz | (in the abstract) | Jun 16 05:09 |
| schestowitz | what to do now? | Jun 16 05:09 |
| schestowitz | (not joking. honest q) | Jun 16 05:10 |
| schestowitz | remember those jobs aren't coming back | Jun 16 05:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think that Amazon is going to be the 21st century East India Company and Walmart will be big too. | Jun 16 05:10 |
| schestowitz | I hear of many people with no jobs and no prospect of finding any, either | Jun 16 05:10 |
| schestowitz | does Mandy still work? | Jun 16 05:10 |
| schestowitz | IIRC, some servicing job | Jun 16 05:10 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: you can judge by their soaring wealth and share prices, I guess | Jun 16 05:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, Walmart. | Jun 16 05:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I made him hurry up and apply there before there weren't any jobs. | Jun 16 05:11 |
| schestowitz | they probably did not anticipate such a sudden and fast collapse of their competition | Jun 16 05:11 |
| schestowitz | eww... walmart | Jun 16 05:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This has accelerated a trend. Probably by at least 20 years. | Jun 16 05:11 |
| schestowitz | they bought two large grocers here | Jun 16 05:11 |
| schestowitz | asda and sainsburys, both do home deliveries | Jun 16 05:12 |
| schestowitz | well, somebody needs to do something about this concentration of power | Jun 16 05:12 |
| schestowitz | this is becoming so very soviety | Jun 16 05:12 |
| schestowitz | where the state is just a few corporations | Jun 16 05:12 |
| schestowitz | each controlling a niche | Jun 16 05:12 |
| schestowitz | or segment | Jun 16 05:12 |
| schestowitz | animal farm... is her | Jun 16 05:13 |
| schestowitz | e*hee | Jun 16 05:13 |
| schestowitz | *here | Jun 16 05:13 |
| schestowitz | techies too will be replaced | Jun 16 05:13 |
| schestowitz | the "cloud" lunacy is taking too much of a foothold | Jun 16 05:13 |
| schestowitz | so they envision just gafam as all hosting | Jun 16 05:13 |
| schestowitz | no more rackspace and other 'lesser' 'clouds' | Jun 16 05:13 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft lays off too | Jun 16 05:14 |
| schestowitz | I guess they're in a bad position | Jun 16 05:14 |
| schestowitz | amazon winning as host | Jun 16 05:15 |
| schestowitz | android as OS | Jun 16 05:15 |
| schestowitz | (google) | Jun 16 05:15 |
| schestowitz | what does microsoft have left? | Jun 16 05:15 |
| schestowitz | github operating at a massive loss... | Jun 16 05:15 |
| schestowitz | linkedin picking up rust | Jun 16 05:15 |
| schestowitz | ibm is also a relic | Jun 16 05:15 |
| schestowitz | many layoffs already confirmed to come soon | Jun 16 05:15 |
| schestowitz | 95% of workers are 'working' from home | Jun 16 05:16 |
| schestowitz | they'll be told they're laid off over the Internet | Jun 16 05:16 |
| schestowitz | maybe IBM will let many from Red Hat go... depending on which project/s they work on | Jun 16 05:16 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft fired its so-called 'journalists' | Jun 16 05:17 |
| schestowitz | maybe IBM will axe opensource.com and other Red Hat 'news' sites... | Jun 16 05:17 |
| schestowitz | someone told me they'd do it within 2 years likely, based on the IBM track record | Jun 16 05:17 |
| schestowitz | so that means around Oct. of this year | Jun 16 05:17 |
| schestowitz | they said they'd buy rht around Oct. 2018 iirc | Jun 16 05:17 |
| oiaohm | schestowitz: https://www.sramanamitra.com/2018/05/15/billion-dollar-unicorns-how-will-github-reach-its-billion-dollar-revenue-target/ Unless Microsoft has really screwed it up github was operating in profit before Microsoft took them over. | Jun 16 05:17 |

| schestowitz | but this is typical Microsoft, lying about everything it can | Jun 16 05:23 |
| oiaohm | schestowitz: I should be more correct github had only just got to operating in profit when Microsoft took them over. So every commercial company to jump ship put github income back into the red. | Jun 16 05:26 |
| schestowitz | link? | Jun 16 05:27 |
| schestowitz | (or it "didn't happen") | Jun 16 05:27 |
| schestowitz | BTW, can you think of words that can be seen as 'offensive' in tech? | Jun 16 05:27 |
| schestowitz | Other than 'master'? | Jun 16 05:27 |
| schestowitz | I am trying to come up with a list | Jun 16 05:27 |
| schestowitz | to make a point | Jun 16 05:27 |
| schestowitz | Monitor - we should say screen instead. Monitors are used in hospitals to observe the health of ill people. We must not cause people panic (tragedy relived), reminding them of the time they spent on life support or some near-death experience. | Jun 16 05:29 |
| schestowitz | what else? | Jun 16 05:29 |
| schestowitz | come up with terms we use in computers | Jun 16 05:29 |
| schestowitz | that have other terms for them | Jun 16 05:30 |
| schestowitz | and can be spun as something that 'triggers' some bad memory | Jun 16 05:30 |
| schestowitz | <li>Monitor - we should say "screen" instead. Monitors are used in hospitals to observe the health of ill people. We must not cause people panic (tragedy relived), reminding them of the time they spent on life support or some near-death experience.</il> | Jun 16 05:39 |
| schestowitz | <li>Terminal - we must all say "shell" instead. Terminal is the state of a patient who is likely dead by now; when we say terminal it can trigger some bad memories, or someone like a long-lost loved one (often a relative or parent).</il> | Jun 16 05:39 |
| schestowitz | <li>Ncurses - we should speak of interactive shells; the religion user is likely to associate curses with very bad things.</il> | Jun 16 05:39 |
| schestowitz | <li>Daemon - See above. We must not remind the religion user of demons. Use buzzwords like "microservice" instead (with the caveat below).</il> | Jun 16 05:39 |
| schestowitz | <li>Services - this term should be reconsidered; it's too similar to servant, which is a synonym of slave in some contexts.</il> | Jun 16 05:39 |
| schestowitz | <li>Wiki - use the term "collaborative page" instead. Wiki is Hawaiian for “fast" or "quick" and there may be racial connotations associated with Hawaii, which is a disputed territory with mixed roots.</il> | Jun 16 05:40 |
| schestowitz | <li>Web (or World Wide Web) - Arachnophobia means that the term can invoke negative feelings or overt fear. Use the term "Interpage" instead.</il> | Jun 16 05:40 |
| schestowitz | <li>Mouse - same as above, albeit fear of rodents. Say "pointing device" instead.</il> | Jun 16 05:40 |
| schestowitz | any other ideas? | Jun 16 05:40 |
| schestowitz | I am still drafting this... | Jun 16 05:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "so when they say stuff like "40 "> Many people appear to be using github as a mirror, or they remote add something else and let the repo die. | Jun 16 05:44 |
| insmodppa | Gender-neutral connectors! (Although I have this inkling feeling it's already been done...) | Jun 16 05:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're probably including lots of fake accounts that don't do anything. | Jun 16 05:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I found dozens of copies of various versions of LAME in github, even though the official repository is a CVS at Sourceforge. | Jun 16 05:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | CVS works when there's 2-3 people you can trust that have commit access. | Jun 16 05:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's why there's a constant "approval backlog" in a project like FreeBSD. | Jun 16 05:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes good patches come in and nobody is even available to look at them, or doesn't want to commit them for whatever reason. | Jun 16 05:46 |
| insmodppa | It's impossible to out-crazy the crazies, you'll drive yourself nuts in the process. | Jun 16 05:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You can have my hermaphrodite cables when you pry them from my cold, dead hands. | Jun 16 05:52 |
| schestowitz | yes, the whole thing about stooping down to one's level | Jun 16 06:12 |
| schestowitz | and then you make arguments that should be common sense but are somehow controversial or outrageous | Jun 16 06:12 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I like the anti-ZFS fud out there that says that only Oracle supports it now and as part of Solaris. | Jun 16 16:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The top contributors to OpenZFS, which is forked from the last version under the CDDL (from OpenSolaris), are former Sun engineers, including one of them that was one of the inventors of ZFS. | Jun 16 16:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't know where the trolls are coming from. If Oracle is having people write anonymous complaints about ZFS or if it's from the "Die ZFS! Die, die, die!" crowd on the Linux side because the module isn't GPL licensed. | Jun 16 16:35 |
| MinceR | i wonder if Obstacle is planning to sue people for using zfs on non-slowlaris | Jun 16 16:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It doesn't strike me as some code that's just rotting and just barely being bumped to build with Linux. | Jun 16 16:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Legal issues aside, it doesn't strike me as bad or rotting code, which is where the trolls seem to be getting at. | Jun 16 16:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <MinceR "i wonder if Obstacle is planning"> I think that if they could they probably would have already. This thing regarding Java is apparently never going to end, so maybe they're not spoiling for a fight with Canonical over something that is another highly contentious issue that not even lawyers can agree on. | Jun 16 16:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Consider the Cookie Patent Lawsuit that kept rising from the grave for over 15 years. | Jun 16 16:38 |
| MinceR | well, it doesn't really fit any OS as it duplicates all the functionality anyway :> | Jun 16 16:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Cookie Patent Lawsuit was the third worst patent and/or copyright dispute I've ever seen, over software. The RIAA vs. the Internet thing was very bad, but it did not end well, for the RIAA. | Jun 16 16:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A patent troll claimed that they had the patent for magic cookies in computer software. They sued Netscape, and then AOL had to defend the lawsuit. | Jun 16 16:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Conceivably, if ValuClick had won the litigation, then any software that used a magic cookie, including X11, would infringe. | Jun 16 16:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <MinceR "well, it doesn't really fit any "> Well, BtfFS tried to be the next gen file system for Linux and then the design was pretty much botched and the only people I know of that promote it now is Suse. | Jun 16 16:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It ended up performing so poorly that Red Hat walked away and deleted the kernel module from their RHEL 8 release. | Jun 16 16:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: You can get as many opinions as lawyers you talk to. | Jun 16 16:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So nobody really knows what would happen with ZFS in court. | Jun 16 16:45 |
| MinceR | yeah, btrfs was another craptastic fs from obstacle | Jun 16 16:45 |
| MinceR | i tried it on a usb flash drive | Jun 16 16:45 |
| MinceR | it lasted for about a week before it shat itself | Jun 16 16:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The argument that shipping it as a loadable module works as a GPL condom. | Jun 16 16:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Red Hat's lawyers disagree. | Jun 16 16:45 |
| MinceR | but at least btrfs fit into the design of linux | Jun 16 16:45 |
| MinceR | zfs doesn't | Jun 16 16:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Ubuntu went shopping and found a lawyer that says the GPL Condom Defense of shipping it as a module works. | Jun 16 16:46 |
| MinceR | zfs was deliberately licensed in a way incompatible with linux because sun was so afraid of linux | Jun 16 16:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Actually, BtrFS isn't Linux-ey at all. | Jun 16 16:46 |
| MinceR | at least it doesn't reinvent the whole raid layer | Jun 16 16:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's a layering violation that pisses all over the VFS and the LVM layers. | Jun 16 16:47 |
| MinceR | yes, zfs is that :> | Jun 16 16:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mostly the point of VFS and LVM are that they can be shared among native file systems and you don't have to reimplement special code for each file system that will all have their own bugs in something that could be shared. | Jun 16 16:48 |
| MinceR | indeed | Jun 16 16:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | it also cuts down on resource footprint because Linux uses a fuckton of file systems that the user never really sees and they can all call that shared code. | Jun 16 16:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | On a modern computer, it's not that big of a savings, but there was a time.... | Jun 16 16:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I may do a fresh install of Fedora 33. | Jun 16 16:50 |
| MinceR | what for? | Jun 16 16:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're talking about eliminating the swap entirely on computers with sufficient RAM and just creating a compressed RAM drive for it unless memory usage swells to the point that it has to give up and create a swap file for the time being. | Jun 16 16:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would let me reclaim 8 GB of my SSD. | Jun 16 16:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not nothing. It's about 1.6% of total space. | Jun 16 16:52 |
| MinceR | and how will they hibernate? | Jun 16 16:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I suppose if the user wants to hibernate it could just create a swap file on the fly and put everything in that until the computer wakes up again. | Jun 16 16:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Ubuntu uses a swap file that dynamically resizes itself. | Jun 16 16:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Although 19.10 I think had a bug where if you set up encrypted LVM, it failed to set up the swap file. | Jun 16 16:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Ubuntu always seems to have weird file system related bugs in their setup program. | Jun 16 16:54 |
| MinceR | what could possibly go wrong? | Jun 16 16:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Right now they have one where Ubuntu 20.04 LTS fails to boot if you have ZFS pools that exist and are called bpool or rpool. | Jun 16 16:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Their ZFS offering seems to be chock full 'o bugs. | Jun 16 16:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It screams to me of hack on top of hack alert. | Jun 16 16:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Things that are held together by hacks rarely stay working as intended. | Jun 16 16:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's probably better to use a native file system and stratus. | Jun 16 16:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The big issue here when you use an out of tree module is that the Linux developers won't stop you, but it's also far from being guaranteed to work. | Jun 16 16:59 |
| -viera/#techrights-Tux Machines: Plasma "5.19", Virtualbox, Kernel "5.7.1" update in Tumbleweed http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/138723#comment-25520 [https://pleroma.site/objects/e32588e9-44f3-4052-8a8c-1a08f4f37e65] | Jun 16 16:59 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | So you could end up in a situation where ZFS becomes unsupportable or they have to remove it because of a lawsuit, and all of your data is on it. | Jun 16 16:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR The only reason I continued using MP3 for so long was because of an iPod. | Jun 16 17:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I used a reverse engineered library to sync it with Linux. | Jun 16 17:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apple's MP3 encoder appears to be licensed from FhG at some point and then abandoned. | Jun 16 17:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It has behavior of earlier releases of FastEnc or MP3Enc. | Jun 16 17:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it's roughly unchanged from where the FhG stuff was in the early 2000s. | Jun 16 17:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That seems to be why it underperforms LAME so much. | Jun 16 17:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My guess is Apple had to support MP3, but they didn't want it to be the best MP3 implementation it could be, or people might decide to use it. | Jun 16 17:04 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Opus can preserve band energy and might as well keep it by its design since it's very cheap to do, even though it won't be incredibly accurate. (Doesn't have to be.) | Jun 16 17:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Opus is undoubtedly the best lossy codec. Apple has bent over backwards to avoid supporting it correctly. | Jun 16 17:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Although xHE-AAC has new patents, you get a license to those patents by paying for the patent pool license at no additional cost. | Jun 16 17:15 |
| MinceR | or i could just use FLAC | Jun 16 17:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're really trying to push it as a "Might as well. We already paid for it." thing.. | Jun 16 17:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The easiest way to support AAC is only support LC-AAC, don't pay them anything since the patents expired, and call it a day. | Jun 16 17:16 |

| MinceR | fedora became thoroughly broken with version 15 and it will never be fixed | Jun 16 17:17 |
| MinceR | it was "developed" since to the point where their installer won't even boot in a VM | Jun 16 17:17 |
| MinceR | it's a bad joke, not an OS | Jun 16 17:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Fraunhofer put this thing out encouraging people to build it and pay all this patent money. | Jun 16 17:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Instead, Fedora patches out all of the patented bits that people mostly don't use anyway, and ships the core profile. | Jun 16 17:18 |
| MinceR | ubunturd did boot, and then its UI froze halfway through the installation process | Jun 16 17:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Ubuntu has many weird bugs. | Jun 16 17:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I gave up on it with Unity. | Jun 16 17:18 |
| MinceR | so when i needed cancerd to run some fiasco systems PoS for my work, i ended up installing deadian in a vm | Jun 16 17:18 |
| MinceR | it too is a huge pile of shit but at least it can be installed and booted | Jun 16 17:19 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Last time, I could definitely see why few people bothered with it. | Jun 16 17:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Most normal people don't want to sit there reading documentation for days on end to make their PC work. | Jun 16 17:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Saying you have this incredibly half-baked Desktop Role and then when people deploy it, it's only kind of set up for them is not how you attract users. | Jun 16 17:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Ubuntu does a lot of things that are not well thought out. | Jun 16 17:22 |
| MinceR | well, it probably can't be set up anymore | Jun 16 17:22 |
| MinceR | unless you don't really need any packages | Jun 16 17:22 |
| MinceR | they probably let you use a real init system, they will just insist on reversing that if you try to install anything | Jun 16 17:22 |
| MinceR | that way, in their tiny minds, they can claim that they've given you a choice | Jun 16 17:22 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I'm sure that they've managed to not only include systemd but even managed to set it up incorrectly so that it behaves even more erratically than it should. | Jun 16 17:37 |
| MinceR | well, if their live media being able to boot at all (unlike fedora) is "erratic", then certainly so :> | Jun 16 17:40 |
| MinceR | after all, fedora functions consistently, that is, not at all | Jun 16 17:40 |

| DaemonFC[m] | It's this weird thing that comes up every time there's a Republican in the White House. They try to go after people with obscenity laws and almost always lose. | Jun 16 17:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I wonder what RMS would have to say about all of this. | Jun 16 17:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Actually, that article is not correct. Some states (Alabama, iirc, is one of them.) have laws against sex toys. | Jun 16 17:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They occasionally prosecute people for ordering them over the internet. | Jun 16 17:49 |
| MinceR | you're supposed to fuck close relatives, not sex dolls. | Jun 16 17:49 |

| DaemonFC[m] | <MinceR "christian "morality"!"> People like Matthew Garrett piss me off. They're as annoying as Republicans, just on the opposite end of the spectrum, and often have the same goals in the end. | Jun 16 17:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Republicans have weird hangups about sex because they're creeps. | Jun 16 17:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | On the other end, SJWs do because they've invented terms like microaggressions, and porn and sex toys are an attack on womyn. | Jun 16 17:55 |
| MinceR | authoritarians have mostly congregated into 2 factions, so they can have a numerous designated enemy group they can point to and claim to be superior to | Jun 16 17:55 |

| schestowitz | MinceR: nice.. | Jun 16 18:02 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: IIRC it was the UK where there was a high-profile incident related to this months ago | Jun 16 18:02 |
| schestowitz | someone ordered online a doll which he said he didn't know was 'too small' | Jun 16 18:02 |
| schestowitz | A argument could be made that people who are sick and find kids sexually attractive (and cannot be 'cured' off it) would harm children more if they didn't manage to relieve themselves with objects | Jun 16 18:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Most of them are not of the correct anatomical shape and size, just "close enough". | Jun 16 18:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Keeps manufacturing and shipping costs down. | Jun 16 18:04 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: maybe if the dolls have breasts too small, that too would make it "pedophilia" | Jun 16 18:04 |
| schestowitz | like some people might call porn stars with flat breasts something for 'sick' people | Jun 16 18:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was actually thinking that. So they're doing something to a hunk of plastic instead of maybe breaking the law. | Jun 16 18:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Isn't that better? | Jun 16 18:05 |
| schestowitz | as if to say not you're not allowed to have sex with woman who are adults but are 'too flat' | Jun 16 18:05 |
| schestowitz | which would of course stir up racist allegations, too | Jun 16 18:05 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: RMS spoke about this in the context of necrophilia | Jun 16 18:05 |
| schestowitz | I think he also spoke about dolls, but nothing I can remember vividly | Jun 16 18:05 |
| schestowitz | he had some page where he spoke about the damage done to the corpse being less severe because it's not aware of it | Jun 16 18:06 |
| schestowitz | which afaik isn't a defence of necrophilia | Jun 16 18:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I can't see how it would be one. | Jun 16 18:06 |
| schestowitz | but if you're to convict people, unless you also killed the person, they might want to take relative harm into account | Jun 16 18:06 |
| schestowitz | same for people who rape animals | Jun 16 18:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Generally, what makes a person a person is being alive and aware of what is happening to them. | Jun 16 18:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Once you're dead, that's gone forever. | Jun 16 18:07 |
| schestowitz | and some would allege that some animals might sometimes "enjoy" it )(yuck) | Jun 16 18:07 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: but that's another law | Jun 16 18:07 |
| schestowitz | maybe desecration of bodies | Jun 16 18:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think RMS said that too. | Jun 16 18:07 |
| schestowitz | if you dismember bodies, it might make the sentence worse after killing them | Jun 16 18:07 |
| schestowitz | same for cannibalism and decapitation etc. | Jun 16 18:07 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: the anti-RMS lobby used that page as evidence of thoughtcrime | Jun 16 18:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, I met someone off Grindr one time who was 17. (Legal in this state.) | Jun 16 18:08 |
| schestowitz | as if RMS somehow advocated those things | Jun 16 18:08 |
| schestowitz | depends on your age | Jun 16 18:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then we were sitting at the mall talking and he asked "Do you like dogs?". | Jun 16 18:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was like, "Uhm, in what context?". | Jun 16 18:08 |
| schestowitz | I think if you're 57, it might be problematic for you two to date or have intercourse | Jun 16 18:08 |
| schestowitz | There's that Roy Moore guy, dated little girls | Jun 16 18:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He told me he wanted me to have sex with his dog. I said, "Okay, we're done here.". | Jun 16 18:09 |
| schestowitz | ewww | Jun 16 18:09 |
| schestowitz | animal abuse | Jun 16 18:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, people in Chicago tend to be pretty messed up. | Jun 16 18:10 |
| schestowitz | there's that south park episode | Jun 16 18:10 |
| schestowitz | where cartman (iirc) 'milks' the dog in front of house guests, not realising what's going on | Jun 16 18:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | LOL | Jun 16 18:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: The police in Gurnee bait gay people. | Jun 16 18:10 |
| schestowitz | anyway, if those subjects (sex dolls, bodies, zoophilia) ever get brought up, you might be quoted out of context | Jun 16 18:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Fake profiles of 15/16 year olds. | Jun 16 18:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's never 17 because that wouldn't be a crime. | Jun 16 18:11 |
| schestowitz | oh, so it's that whole "gays" 'prey on kids' narrative... | Jun 16 18:11 |
| schestowitz | as if there aren't dudes who look for schoolgirld | Jun 16 18:11 |
| schestowitz | *girls | Jun 16 18:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | yeah, and they do it in Illinois | Jun 16 18:11 |
| schestowitz | maybe the PD is homophobic | Jun 16 18:11 |
| schestowitz | how many gay cops are employed there? | Jun 16 18:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Probably. | Jun 16 18:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In Indiana, the age of consent is 16. | Jun 16 18:12 |
| schestowitz | those ages are arbitrary | Jun 16 18:12 |
| schestowitz | RMS once talked about maturity differences | Jun 16 18:12 |
| schestowitz | mental and physical | Jun 16 18:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They can't really do much of anything over it. Sometimes if the parent complains they're at your house or something they can hit you with a misdemeanor. | Jun 16 18:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Contributing to Delinquency. | Jun 16 18:12 |
| schestowitz | some races reach at age 16 the sort of sexual maturity others reach maybe at 18 | Jun 16 18:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Most people aren't too stupid to know what they're doing at 16-17. | Jun 16 18:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They can drive a car and own a gun in Indiana. | Jun 16 18:13 |
| schestowitz | so going by DoB alone might be not so ideal... though it's a tricky and prickly situation altogether... remember that in many Muslim countries people marry little girls | Jun 16 18:13 |
| schestowitz | and they tell us to treat that as "cultural differences", not pedophilia | Jun 16 18:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, and it's like 11 years old. | Jun 16 18:14 |
| schestowitz | some of them have not even reached puberty, years behind it... but it's Islamophobic to bring that up | Jun 16 18:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's not even debatable. That's terrible. | Jun 16 18:14 |
| schestowitz | Rural US has the same issue, which is unspeakable in mainstream media because it harms the image of Christianity too | Jun 16 18:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Cultural child rape" | Jun 16 18:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Have to respect! | Jun 16 18:15 |
| schestowitz | like parents arranging marriages after someone raped a niece or a neighbour, who's well under age of consent | Jun 16 18:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, that's actually a defense in court in some states. | Jun 16 18:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's pretty sick. | Jun 16 18:16 |
| schestowitz | what is? | Jun 16 18:16 |
| schestowitz | That it was arrange to 'settle' things? | Jun 16 18:16 |
| schestowitz | And now that they're adult and married, all is forgiven? | Jun 16 18:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You broke the law by having sex with a 13 year old or something but it's okay because the parents signed off and you got "married" later. | Jun 16 18:16 |
| schestowitz | *arranged | Jun 16 18:16 |
| schestowitz | child bribes, grooming... | Jun 16 18:16 |
| schestowitz | all sorts of terms are used here | Jun 16 18:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No, the prosecutor literally cannot prosecute a rape that already occurred against a child if you are currently married when they go to bring charges. | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | but the law is now catching up | Jun 16 18:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It works like that in Mississippi. | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | and the fear of the courts being called racist may be a factor | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Remember: | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | in Islam... | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | Sometimes... | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | if not by law | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | the rapist can marry the victim | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | or... | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | the victim can be forced.coerced to marry her rapist | Jun 16 18:17 |
| schestowitz | iirc, also if underage | Jun 16 18:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Islam is pretty much the most despicable mainstream religion. | Jun 16 18:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not exactly a photo finish either. | Jun 16 18:18 |
| schestowitz | and the law would be on the rapist's side... that's one heck of an incentive to rape... even little girld | Jun 16 18:18 |
| schestowitz | you get rewarded with marriage to an unwanting and unwilling girl, even young girl, by sexually assaulting her | Jun 16 18:19 |
| MinceR | 16 190352 < schestowitz> A argument could be made that people who are sick and find kids sexually attractive (and cannot be 'cured' off it) would harm children more if they didn't manage to relieve themselves with objects | Jun 16 18:19 |
| MinceR | obviously | Jun 16 18:19 |
| MinceR | but fundamentalists are immune to reason | Jun 16 18:19 |
| schestowitz | they're too busy "thinking about the children" when it suits them | Jun 16 18:19 |
| schestowitz | not Roy Moore | Jun 16 18:19 |
| schestowitz | Roy Moore is great | Jun 16 18:19 |
| schestowitz | and Trump was just "kidding" about groping women | Jun 16 18:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's basically no way to cure it that doesn't involve castration. | Jun 16 18:19 |
| schestowitz | and they wanted it anyway, they tell us, they were 'lucky' to be molester by the Return of the Christ Donald J Thumppp | Jun 16 18:20 |
| MinceR | whether he was "kidding" or not was probably decided afterwards | Jun 16 18:20 |

| DaemonFC[m] | People should really be taking their stocks now and selling them soon if they have any. | Jun 16 18:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Putting it in something real, like gold and silver. | Jun 16 18:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The value of the Dollar will plummet eventually while the adjusted value in gold will increase. | Jun 16 18:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's a limited supply of gold and people always like it. | Jun 16 18:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's pretty obvious. | Jun 16 18:30 |
| schestowitz | if you can keep it safe | Jun 16 18:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | yeah, that | Jun 16 18:30 |
| schestowitz | most people keep their gold in some banking systems | Jun 16 18:30 |
| schestowitz | in cellars and stuff, sometimes overseas | Jun 16 18:30 |
| schestowitz | they can be denied access to these one day | Jun 16 18:30 |
| schestowitz | if stored at home, it can be stolen by break-in | Jun 16 18:30 |
| schestowitz | or you cannot find a buyer for it when times get tough | Jun 16 18:31 |
| schestowitz | there's a huge online BS market for gold and other metals | Jun 16 18:31 |
| schestowitz | and they pump up hype into it | Jun 16 18:31 |
| schestowitz | helps them 1) sell it | Jun 16 18:31 |
| schestowitz | 2) drive up the price of it | Jun 16 18:31 |
| schestowitz | so either way they profit | Jun 16 18:31 |
| schestowitz | and you end up with some paper of slip saying you have some bar of $METAL somewhere | Jun 16 18:32 |
| schestowitz | and you don't get very good assurances of access to it | Jun 16 18:32 |
| schestowitz | see the collapsing bitcoin companies | Jun 16 18:32 |
| schestowitz | where the assets just vanished without trace and without warning | Jun 16 18:32 |
| schestowitz | I don't regard these as any safer than deposits at the mainstreet banks here | Jun 16 18:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Banks are choking off the supply of credit to their revolving credit card customers. | Jun 16 18:33 |
| schestowitz | with "property rights" being strong here with regards to home you'd assume the state would help if someone attempted to steal your home where you live | Jun 16 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they're saying that the economy will just go right back to booming again in a few months, and what they're actually doing is hunkering down and protecting themselves against future losses. | Jun 16 18:33 |
| schestowitz | and the state would send armed people to defend your "property" if necessary | Jun 16 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They gave Mandy a credit card. | Jun 16 18:34 |
| schestowitz | this is 2008 all over again, plus the virus, which actually kills and would kill a lot more if we pass it around | Jun 16 18:34 |
| schestowitz | wow, a CREDIT card | Jun 16 18:34 |
| schestowitz | debt cards I call them | Jun 16 18:34 |
| schestowitz | they spam me like 20 times a year offering me one | Jun 16 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We've been using it to buy groceries and gas and pay it right back off. | Jun 16 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're bonus categories. | Jun 16 18:35 |
| schestowitz | bbl | Jun 16 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Yeah, they're about to eat $45,000 in bad credit card debt in my bankruptcy. | Jun 16 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Things just spiraled out of control last year and there was nothing else to turn to for money. | Jun 16 18:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I didn't have any payday loans. My lawyer mentioned those, but I said I didn't have any because they go away in bankruptcy, but by the time you file the bankruptcy, they've probably gotten most or all of the loan money back from you paying roll over fees when the loan came due and you still didn't have any money. | Jun 16 18:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Payday loan people do not fuck around. If you stop paying the roll over fee and they can't get into your bank account for some reason, you're in court a few weeks later. | Jun 16 18:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Credit card companies just nag you about it for a year or two. They'll get you into court at some point, but we're not talking weeks. | Jun 16 18:38 |

| DaemonFC[m] | ENDA, or the Employment Non Discrimination Act, had been stalled in Congress for over a decade. | Jun 16 19:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The expansion of the Civil Rights Act effectively enacted ENDA by saying that anti-gay discrimination is illegal under existing federal law. | Jun 16 19:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump was reportedly stunned when the news asked him for his reaction. | Jun 16 19:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This is just fantastic. Trump was a reaction by conservatives against things like the decision to strike down same-sex marriage bans so nothing further would be decided in that direction. | Jun 16 19:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump got in and the people that voted for them basically got to see ENDA go into effect anyway. | Jun 16 19:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It doesn't seem logical to assume that this court will be the one to reverse marriage equality in light of the fact that two Republicans on the court just expanded federal civil rights law. | Jun 16 19:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Electoral-Vote dot com wondered if this will enrage the Republicans and get them into the voting booth to try again, or demoralize them. | Jun 16 19:20 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I don't think it will be so much the country taking a sharp left that throws Trump out and possibly the Senate Republicans too. | Jun 16 21:37 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The worse thing for Trump is high unemployment going into the election. | Jun 16 21:38 |

| gde33 | so low that I was pretty sure I was the only guy looking at more than 5 of the programs | Jun 16 21:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Not that my in laws are smart enough to do this, but if I was them I'd file Chapter 13 and set up a repayment plan and have the court modify my mortgage. | Jun 16 21:43 |
| gde33 | if one is to chose something, say a meal from a menu, one should read a bit and make an informed decision | Jun 16 21:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even if they only knock 1-2 points off the interest, that's a big help. | Jun 16 21:43 |
| gde33 | if there are zero people doing that... what do you think that means? | Jun 16 21:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're too proud to file bankruptcy though, so they'll just keep squirming underneath all the debt they shouldn't have taken on. | Jun 16 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The court could cut up their credit cards and set up installment payments at like 3-4% interest over the next 5 years. | Jun 16 21:44 |
| XRevan86 | gde33: That no one even considers any party to win but the select two. | Jun 16 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Beats trying to pay off 10 credit cards that are all maxed out. | Jun 16 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes you can avoid bankruptcy and negotiate with the credit card people to lower the interest rate a few points. | Jun 16 21:45 |
| XRevan86 | gde33: In a fatal flaw in Winner Takes All elections. | Jun 16 21:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That tends to help people who aren't in deep shit just yet. | Jun 16 21:45 |
| XRevan86 | Because with those the best way to win is to give the opposition options. | Jun 16 21:46 |

| XRevan86 | Where "you" is the majority. Democracy, right. | Jun 16 21:48 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Yeah, but at the state and local level. | Jun 16 21:52 |
| MinceR | and wants to replace the republic with a dictatorship | Jun 16 21:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The ones who will have to deal with the shit hitting the fan after the rally is over. | Jun 16 21:52 |
| MinceR | or they can just quit | Jun 16 21:53 |
| MinceR | right now | Jun 16 21:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I really don't doubt he can get that many people there. | Jun 16 21:53 |
| MinceR | "oh, you're going to hold Nurgle parties now? then fuck you, i'm off." | Jun 16 21:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's one of the reddest states in the country and his personality cult attracts anyone who can make it there. | Jun 16 21:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Tulsa had its worst one day total for new COVID-19 diagnoses yesterday. | Jun 16 21:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So he's having a rally there right at the worst point in the pandemic, locally. | Jun 16 21:55 |
| XRevan86 | So the main property of that kind of voting is that diversity, a rich political organisation is a way to failure. | Jun 16 21:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I figure that hundreds of people will get COVID-19 at the rally. | Jun 16 21:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If not more. | Jun 16 21:56 |
| XRevan86 | It's how United Russia consistently wins every local election when people have to vote on a person. | Jun 16 21:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Maybe 50 or 60 of them die, and then they all spread it to others. | Jun 16 21:56 |
| MinceR | that's only part of it | Jun 16 21:56 |
| MinceR | part if it is that there are enough idiot savages who will even consider voting for united russia | Jun 16 21:56 |
| XRevan86 | They rarely make the majority, they are not popular, but… there are many oppositioners but there's only one United Russia. | Jun 16 21:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Biden doesn't really have to do much campaigning. | Jun 16 21:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's ahead by double digits. | Jun 16 21:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's barely done any campaigning, although the commercials have begun. | Jun 16 21:57 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Conformists are a sizable group, they can easily hit 30% just for showing up. | Jun 16 21:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apparently, attack ads reminding people of what a piece of shit Trump is aren't moving the needle very much. | Jun 16 21:57 |
| XRevan86 | And 30% is all they need. | Jun 16 21:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think Biden needs to switch gears and run ads just saying what he wants to do. Doesn't even have to be anything spectacular. | Jun 16 21:58 |
| MinceR | then again, in putler's case, it might not matter at all how people vote | Jun 16 21:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People who hate Trump really hate Trump. | Jun 16 21:58 |
| MinceR | XRevan86: yes, dangerously stupid people are a sizable group | Jun 16 21:58 |
| MinceR | and are one of the reasons why democracy doesn't work with humans | Jun 16 21:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's about 39-40% of the electorate out there where Trump can do no wrong. | Jun 16 21:59 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Point is, they don't need to be a majority. They just need to be consolidated. | Jun 16 21:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So trying to make them change their minds is pointless. | Jun 16 21:59 |
| MinceR | it would be a better solution to eliminate the vehicle that lets such retarded barbarians control my life | Jun 16 21:59 |
| MinceR | that is, to abolish the state | Jun 16 22:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Biden needs to focus on base turnout and an appeal to independent voters. | Jun 16 22:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump is not focusing on independent voters and undecideds. | Jun 16 22:00 |
| *obarun has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Jun 16 22:00 | |
| XRevan86 | And unlike everyone else, they practically always are, just because they are a herd by design. | Jun 16 22:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's going full base turnout and that might be his downfall. | Jun 16 22:00 |
| MinceR | it's enough that such people fuck up their own lives because of their evilness and stupidity, they shouldn't get to fuck up other people's lives too | Jun 16 22:00 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: My point is that maybe the system should not reward this. | Jun 16 22:00 |
| MinceR | in the end, they're going to die anyway | Jun 16 22:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 39-40% is obviously not nothing, but it doesn't win an election if everyone else can't stand you and thinks you're the devil. | Jun 16 22:00 |
| MinceR | might as well let the decent, sapient minority survive on the long term\ | Jun 16 22:01 |
| XRevan86 | Winner Takes All is the worst. | Jun 16 22:01 |
| MinceR | s/.$// | Jun 16 22:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nevertheless, he's 100% devoted to appealing to the base and only the base. | Jun 16 22:01 |
| *obarun (~obarun@host-115-126-165-174.fibre.nautile.nc) has joined #techrights | Jun 16 22:01 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | Realistically speaking, Trump needs to convince about 47.5-49% of the electorate to support him, depending on the spread of the popular vote. | Jun 16 22:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | To do that, he has to appeal to people who he is really pissing off right now. | Jun 16 22:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I don't see this as a winning strategy. | Jun 16 22:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's polling the lowest ever recorded for a Republican president among voters who identify as Democrat. | Jun 16 22:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's also not doing very well with independent voters. | Jun 16 22:03 |
| MinceR | he can get some help from his friend putler again | Jun 16 22:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | On the flip side, fully 9% of self-identified Republicans say they'll vote for Biden or a third party, compared to 2% of Democrats saying Trump or third party. | Jun 16 22:04 |
| MinceR | and probably also from the folks at diebold^Wpremiere | Jun 16 22:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, the issue at hand here is that many of the swing states that he needs to win are not exactly taking the steps he wants to discourage voter turnout. | Jun 16 22:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Shit, not even Indiana is listening to him. | Jun 16 22:05 |
| XRevan86 | So I really want this to be a globally recognised issue – that this simple kind of voting when just getting more points than the opponents individually is inherently undemocratic. | Jun 16 22:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They changed the law to allow no excuse mail voting and extended early voting. | Jun 16 22:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So far, about 33 states have expanded voting in a meaningful way. | Jun 16 22:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't see this whole campaign to sabotage vote-by-mail being incredibly effective given that states can do almost anything they want. | Jun 16 22:06 |
| XRevan86 | Because democracy should be about pluralism and rotation of power, not about rewarding those who will vote for the current guy regardless. | Jun 16 22:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, even if he wins a lawsuit or two, he won't win them all, and there's $15 million in campaign money that he couldn't be spending on something else. | Jun 16 22:07 |
| MinceR | i just want an army with which i can defend myself against the biggest criminals on this planet: governments and megacorporations. | Jun 16 22:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even rich campaign donors are starting to clamp up. | Jun 16 22:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some of Trump's biggest donors are in bankruptcy right now. | Jun 16 22:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Including several fossil fuel companies. | Jun 16 22:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Corporations can't donate money to a Republican Super PAC if they are in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. | Jun 16 22:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Trustee will not allow it. | Jun 16 22:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I can't donate money to charity at all right now. | Jun 16 22:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The bankruptcy forbids it. | Jun 16 22:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I also can't give money to a political campaign while the bankruptcy is open. | Jun 16 22:09 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Can you throw it in a bin in cash? | Jun 16 22:10 |
| MinceR | :> | Jun 16 22:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: August 24th is the deadline for my creditors to object, meaning August 29th is the day the court officially orders the discharge. I swear I didn't do that on purpose. | Jun 16 22:10 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: A lot of people out there don't seem to know what the word "peak" means. | Jun 16 22:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They were saying everything would be fine in several weeks (back in April) because it would peak. | Jun 16 22:19 |
| MinceR | :) | Jun 16 22:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "Well, all that means it is kills the next 100,000 slower....". | Jun 16 22:20 |
| XRevan86 | There could be many peaks | Jun 16 22:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We're officially 19% of the way into the second 100,000. | Jun 16 22:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It took 3 weeks to get from 100,000 to 119,000. | Jun 16 22:21 |
| *mmu_man has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) | Jun 16 22:22 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | So while 200,000 might not happen by October 1st, it almost certain happens sometime in October. | Jun 16 22:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's barring another wave. | Jun 16 22:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | To get to 200,000 by election day, that would assume average daily deaths of 578 from here on out. | Jun 16 22:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It looks like things are getting extremely bad in Arizona and Florida. | Jun 16 22:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Two states have 1/4 of all confirmed cases today so far with 8.3% of the national population. | Jun 16 22:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Eek. | Jun 16 22:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 18,675 dead in Florida of COVID-19 by October 1st is the IMHE's model figure for that state. | Jun 16 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump's margin in 2016 was like 26,000 votes. | Jun 16 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's down there killing a bunch of old people in Florida and he wants to have rallies and the RNC convention.....in Florida. | Jun 16 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The public doesn't want mass gatherings, but the Republican Party in Florida has state and local elections on off years when Democrats don't turn out to vote. | Jun 16 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they manage to remain entirely under Republican control (except the commissioner of Agriculture). | Jun 16 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So now they're stuck dealing with state leadership that will do anything Trump tells them to do. | Jun 16 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's also why Florida never bothered to have a lockdown "Until Trump said it was okay.", according to their governor, who apparently doesn't realize he's the governor. | Jun 16 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then as soon as Trump said "reopen America again!", Florida threw the doors open and ended the lockdown and told Disney World they could open up. | Jun 16 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's why they're having nearly 3,000 new cases a day again and nobody is doing anything about it. | Jun 16 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If this pattern keeps going, there could be 30,000 people dead of this in Florida by October. Not 18,675. | Jun 16 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There are large swaths of the south that are having local outbreaks worse than the one New York City had, per capita. | Jun 16 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Meanwhile, the Republican crank over in Indiana suggested that NYC got so bad because people take the mass transit. | Jun 16 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which I'm sure there's a lot of in rural Georgia. | Jun 16 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | ;) | Jun 16 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I got my Amazon S&S drop shipment today. | Jun 16 22:36 |
| MinceR | did you get your used condoms? | Jun 16 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They totally ignored my delivery instructions again, but at least they left $140 worth of provisions laying outside the correct motel room door this time. | Jun 16 22:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: No, I just threw them in a regular order. | Jun 16 22:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It sucks being in a mixed relationship like that. | Jun 16 22:38 |
| *rianne has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) | Jun 16 22:39 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | The medication for me is purely to prevent, but it's making my hair fall out and the fucking idiots at the Health Dept and the lab can't be bothered to bill my insurance correctly. | Jun 16 22:39 |
| *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) | Jun 16 22:39 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: So rather that stand there arguing with said fucking idiots about it, I just added another $800 to the bankruptcy and filed against Quest Diagnostics and the county. | Jun 16 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Since they can't be bothered to bill my insurance correctly there is no reason why I should pay them, at least not in my book, and I was filing bankruptcy anyway. | Jun 16 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it's easier to get the court to void the bills than it is to make some paper pushers do their job and get their employer paid. | Jun 16 22:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: This bankruptcy is bigger and bigger. | Jun 16 22:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The upside is fuck everyone I owed money to before the end of May 2020. | Jun 16 22:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Including three local governments. | Jun 16 22:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I got a parking ticket before the Kia got taken away and I amended the filing to throw a $20 parking ticket into the bankruptcy. | Jun 16 22:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You have until the Trustee meeting to keep amending it. | Jun 16 22:43 |
| MinceR | :> | Jun 16 22:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you do it later, it costs $140 to reopen. | Jun 16 22:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Obviously, you wouldn't pay $140 to reopen the case unless something substantially bigger came in from before the filing date that you didn't know about. | Jun 16 22:45 |

| XRevan86 | A lot of actions people on social media take are chosen to not leave anyone indifferent – either you hate the action or you hate actions of those who hate the action, settling in two camps that hate each other. | Jun 16 23:47 |
| *DaemonFC[m] (daemonfcma@gateway/shell/matrix.org/x-qtypczggdjtvhbir) has joined #techrights | Jun 16 23:47 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because the minimum wage is too low. | Jun 16 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Social Security should just be funded directly through a tax on corporate profits, which would remove a perverse incentive to hire as few people as possible. | Jun 16 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What we've got going on right now is that Congress is deadlocked and not bringing the laws into sync with what the majority of the public agrees with, and Trump is an old fossil who is sundowning and falling down ramps that people dug up because they're idiots who hate Mexicans. | Jun 16 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This is what happens. This is pretty much a national version of the mess that happened in Illinois when the state government broke down and ended up running on court rulings. | Jun 16 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Civil Rights Act should have been amended with ENDA 10 years ago. Instead, we have a court ruling that interprets a law from 1964. | Jun 16 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | ENDA isn't even that controversial. | Jun 16 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 74% of self-identified Republicans in a Gallup poll said they don't think your employer should be allowed to fire you because you're gay. | Jun 16 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 83% of the people polled overall said that. | Jun 16 23:47 |
| *CrystalMath (~coderain@reactos/developer/theflash) has joined #techrights | Jun 16 23:47 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Republican politicians are fairly out of step with what the majority of their own voters think about social issues. | Jun 16 23:48 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: I wonder how many of those (83-74) % are libertarians who think the employer must have the right to do whatever. | Jun 16 23:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't even know how you explain the nearly 100% resistance to gay rights in the Republican Party when only 26% of their own base opposes it. | Jun 16 23:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, the opposition to ENDA and the court decision was only 17%. | Jun 16 23:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Libertarian Party has gotten that percentage of the vote in a statewide race in Indiana that year Dick Lugar ran without a Democratic challenger. | Jun 16 23:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When both major parties are on the ballot, the Libertarian vote falls to about 1-2%. | Jun 16 23:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Presidential popular vote, so they never get an electoral vote, unless you count that Faithless Elector in the 70s. | Jun 16 23:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Generally if you include the Libertarian in the polls, 5-8% say they'll vote for him and 1-2% end up doing it on election day. | Jun 16 23:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So asking about the Libertarian is just a good way to instantly ruin your poll. | Jun 16 23:52 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: What does the Libertarian Party trying to sell that the Republicans don't? | Jun 16 23:53 |
| MinceR | libertarianism | Jun 16 23:53 |
| MinceR | in the sense that has something to do with freedom | Jun 16 23:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That the government should be small and quit fucking with people. | Jun 16 23:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which is something neither of the big parties want. | Jun 16 23:53 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Trump tried to simplify taxation with a similar logic, seems like normal tea party stuff to me. | Jun 16 23:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They see the role of government as courts that enforce contracts and a military that's big enough for self defense, and criminal laws that punish crimes that actually have a victim. | Jun 16 23:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So naturally, people say that's insane. | Jun 16 23:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump did not simplify taxes, and most of the middle class got absolutely screwed. | Jun 16 23:55 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Freedom to fire people for being gay, we've established that already. | Jun 16 23:55 |
| MinceR | freedom to punish businesses/people that fire people for being gay would be nice | Jun 16 23:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which is why the suburbs kicked their Republican congressman out in 2018. | Jun 16 23:56 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: So the difference is that the Libertarians want to *actually* do it? | Jun 16 23:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The SALT cap instantly undid any sort of tax cut that most middle class families got. | Jun 16 23:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It didn't only hit blue states. | Jun 16 23:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Iowa, Texas, and several others have high property taxes that now have their federal deduction capped at $10,000. | Jun 16 23:56 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: By lynching? That's more into the anarchocapitalist area. | Jun 16 23:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's $10,000 total that you owe the state or local government in any kind of tax. | Jun 16 23:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So in Illinois, the state runs off with 5% of your income right off the bat. | Jun 16 23:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then it sticks you with a 10.25% sales tax, all kinds of cell phone taxes and gotcha taxes and then your $12,000 property tax bill comes in. | Jun 16 23:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People who could just itemize everything and deduct it at the end of the year have a cap now. | Jun 16 23:58 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Simplification of taxation is like replacing glibc with musl | Jun 16 23:58 |
| XRevan86 | It won't necessarily make anything faster. | Jun 16 23:58 |
| MinceR | XRevan86: i wish it was | Jun 16 23:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Worse, the personal exemption on the federal taxes was ended. | Jun 16 23:58 |
| MinceR | the "anarcho-capitalists" i know are fascist copsuckers | Jun 16 23:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's part of how they "doubled " the standard deduction when it really didn't double. | Jun 16 23:59 |
