XRevan86MinceR: That's ironic… they had one job…Jun 17 00:00
MinceRthe way the chocolate ration was increased?Jun 17 00:00
MinceRXRevan86: i know, right?Jun 17 00:00
MinceRoh, i forgot that they're also fond of monarchyJun 17 00:00
DaemonFC[m]There's nothing legitimate about this tax law.Jun 17 00:00
MinceRapparently the austrian school decided that monarchy was closer to anarchism than democracy isJun 17 00:00
DaemonFC[m]The Republicans played a pea and shell game that raises taxes on the middle class and makes it look like a cut.Jun 17 00:01
DaemonFC[m]Then hands the money to the rich.Jun 17 00:01
XRevan86MinceR: In a libertarian way it kinda isJun 17 00:01
MinceRactual libertarian or "republican" "libertarian"?Jun 17 00:01
DaemonFC[m]People were filing in to prepay their property taxes for the next year in Illinois so they could deduct them one last time at full value.Jun 17 00:01
XRevan86MinceR: Democracy begets bureaucracy, that stuff is complicated and annoying.Jun 17 00:01
MinceRdemocracy also reduces the power the state wields over the individualJun 17 00:02
XRevan86MinceR: Compare it to a simple state of minimal laws with just a dude on the throne. Can't get simpler than that.Jun 17 00:02
DaemonFC[m]Yep yep. Even at the local level, the Democrats are nasty here.Jun 17 00:02
MinceRif run correctly (which of course never happens), the government serves the people, while in the case of monarchy, the government is not even supposed or pretending to do soJun 17 00:02
MinceRyeah, i know the sortJun 17 00:03
MinceR"small government" that enforces religious rules :>Jun 17 00:03
MinceRand polices people's bedroomsJun 17 00:03
DaemonFC[m]They didn't want to face a Libertarian on the ballot for Fox Lake, IL council, so they had the cops go cite him for having a car parked on his lawn and then "forgot" to notify him.Jun 17 00:03
DaemonFC[m]Suddenly, he owes $46,000 to the city and can't get on the ballot.Jun 17 00:03
DaemonFC[m]The point here is that the people who run the city make sure it stays that way, and they'll do corrupt shit and nobody hears about it because it's a small town.Jun 17 00:04
XRevan86MinceR: I'm just toying with the concept. More closer to reality, the issue of simple absolute monarchies is that they do not ensure bourgeois safety.Jun 17 00:05
MinceRschestowitz: we should also ban the word "shell", as in wars, tanks fire shells and kill people, causing lots of griefJun 17 00:05
DaemonFC[m]The message is that everyone has a "car parked on the lawn" that the city will become interested in if you oppose anyone on the ballot.Jun 17 00:05
MinceRXRevan86: and the cornerstone of anarchism is to not ensure bourgeois safety?Jun 17 00:05
XRevan86MinceR: ancap is all about letting them defend their property on their own without any obstruction.Jun 17 00:06
DaemonFC[m]The country is flying apart at the hinges and all Trump does is lie about the statistics and duct tape everything with Socialism for the rich.Jun 17 00:06
DaemonFC[m]His voters are far too stupid to understand that this is not good for them.Jun 17 00:07
DaemonFC[m]So he gets away with it, maybe for another 4 years too.Jun 17 00:07
XRevan86MinceR: So good luck with lynching actually.Jun 17 00:07
DaemonFC[m]The reason this Tara Reade thing went away is because nobody fucking cares anymore.Jun 17 00:07
DaemonFC[m]They have bigger problems than what Biden may or may not have done in 1993 and they're not in the mood to listen to conspiracy theories that have no evidence whatsoever.Jun 17 00:08
DaemonFC[m]Biden got the Violence Against Women Act through Congress while Trump was raping 13 year old girls.Jun 17 00:08
MinceRXRevan86: that sword cuts both waysJun 17 00:08
DaemonFC[m]Trump will probably always get away with anything though.Jun 17 00:09
DaemonFC[m]When that victim sued him, his supporters sent her death threats and she ran to hide.Jun 17 00:09
XRevan86MinceR: The nonaggression principle is all about leaving them in peace too.Jun 17 00:09
MinceRbut not others?Jun 17 00:09
XRevan86MinceR: If you don't impose on their property, you should be fine.Jun 17 00:10
MinceRi suppose the fake "anarchists" would not interpret the bigotry they promote as "aggression"Jun 17 00:10
XRevan86Property is everything they can take though, so good luck with that too %).Jun 17 00:10
XRevan86MinceR: Aggression is property infringement.Jun 17 00:11
MinceRneither enforcing religious rules against people who asked for none of themJun 17 00:11
XRevan86Ancap is very property focused.Jun 17 00:12
MinceRseems more focused on "i just want to call myself an anarchist because i think it makes me cool and edgy"Jun 17 00:12
schestowitz[00:05] <MinceR> schestowitz: we should also ban the word "shell", as in wars, tanks fire shells and kill people, causing lots of griefJun 17 00:13
schestowitza terminal shellJun 17 00:13
XRevan86MinceR: Well, proper ones anyway. How that leads to fascism or monarchy – I don't know.Jun 17 00:13
schestowitz= a shell that knocks you over causing a fatalityJun 17 00:13
schestowitzI bash you not...Jun 17 00:13
XRevan86MinceR: But it does mean that you have no right to obstruct anyone's activities if they did something like fire a person for being gay. You can vote with your wallet or do something else equally worthless.Jun 17 00:15
XRevan86Don't know how wallets would look like in ancap. I owe you one's from capitalists or bitcoins?Jun 17 00:16
MinceRXRevan86: i haven't had the time or energy to dive into the relevant literature enough to find the path from property to fascismJun 17 00:17
MinceRit's possible that it was the other way aroundJun 17 00:17
MinceRas for wallets, they could contain gold, depending on whom you askJun 17 00:18
XRevan86MinceR: Right, gold makes sense. Except heavy and with quality issues.Jun 17 00:18
XRevan86I don't know what's the appeal of ancap, it's like the worst of both worlds.Jun 17 00:20
XRevan86Capitalism needs a medium in which capital can safely interact. Anarchism is literally abolishment of the said medium.Jun 17 00:23
MinceRnot reallyJun 17 00:23
XRevan86Without it they can resort to feudalism at best.Jun 17 00:23
MinceRit's the abolishment of powerful forces that distort the marketJun 17 00:23
XRevan86MinceR: You're thinking of libertarianism.Jun 17 00:24
MinceRno, i'm thinking of capitalismJun 17 00:24
XRevan86MinceR: The state doesn't just influence the market, it provides the market space.Jun 17 00:25
MinceRit doesn't just influence the market, it provides a hotbed of corruption which also distorts the marketJun 17 00:25
MinceRthe universe provides the market spaceJun 17 00:25
MinceRhumans exchanging goods predates the stateJun 17 00:25
XRevan86MinceR: Basic exchange of goods is not the same thing as capitalism.Jun 17 00:26
MinceRbasic exchange of goods gives rise to the marketJun 17 00:26
MinceRwhich is what capitalism is supposed to be all aboutJun 17 00:26
XRevan86MinceR: What capitalism needs is endurance that there will be no use of literal force, no theft, etc.Jun 17 00:27
XRevan86MinceR: For that you need police.Jun 17 00:27
MinceRno, i don'tJun 17 00:27
MinceRfor that i need people who wield forceJun 17 00:27
MinceRthere's no need to pretend that someone has a monopoly on that forceJun 17 00:27
MinceRi know that people like to pretend that policemen are saintsJun 17 00:28
MinceRunfortunately, they're merely humanJun 17 00:28
XRevan86MinceR: The same people who can be used as thugs.Jun 17 00:28
MinceRpolice can be used as thugs as wellJun 17 00:28
MinceRand they areJun 17 00:28
MinceRespecially when there's no rule of lawJun 17 00:28
XRevan86MinceR: In perfect capitalism they're not %).Jun 17 00:29
MinceRand afaict there's no rule of law anywhere on earthJun 17 00:29
MinceRyes, because in perfect capitalism there is no state or police :>Jun 17 00:29
XRevan86Capitalism is an economical system in which capital is the primary force.Jun 17 00:30
MinceRso, not the violence practiced by the agents of the stateJun 17 00:31
XRevan86Without any outer body to protect capital from the physical world occurrences, some security force is required.Jun 17 00:31
MinceRas long as one pretends that the "security force" is an "outer body"Jun 17 00:31
MinceRunfortunately, it isn'tJun 17 00:32
MinceRit's just a bunch of humans, given power, and corrupted by itJun 17 00:32
XRevan86And because capital of any size needs protection, it can't be just some private security.Jun 17 00:32
XRevan86MinceR: I'm outlining the capitalist theory here.Jun 17 00:32
XRevan86Not how imperfect reality taints it severely.Jun 17 00:33
XRevan86Ancap approaches this with the nonaggression principle and hopes of some bourgeois solidarity.Jun 17 00:33
XRevan86That if someone infringes on some property, the good big capitalist will see it as danger to the market and will eliminate that danger.Jun 17 00:34
MinceRit doesn't have to be one big capitalistJun 17 00:35
XRevan86Or in plural.Jun 17 00:35
MinceRit can be a community of people who recognize that such behavior is a threat to their societyJun 17 00:35
*liberty_box (~liberty@host81-152-237-200.range81-152.btcentralplus.com) has joined #techrightsJun 17 00:35
XRevan86A community of like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, IBM…Jun 17 00:36
MinceRhopefully corporations like those wouldn't be tolerated by a society where individuals aren't disarmed and disenfranchised by the stateJun 17 00:36
MinceRcertainly, microsloth wouldn't have gotten anywhere without the state enforcing their Imaginary PropertyJun 17 00:37
XRevan86MinceR: But they have the property, you can't just ignore that.Jun 17 00:37
XRevan86And land is also property, so in ancap no free land is pretty much a given.Jun 17 00:38
MinceRthose corporations don't really live off having a lot of landJun 17 00:39
MinceRthey live off Imaginary PropertyJun 17 00:39
XRevan86MinceR: You call it imaginary property, hah. But in anarchism they will decide what is and isn't property.Jun 17 00:39
MinceRit is indeed not propertyJun 17 00:39
MinceRmaking copies of it is nearly cost-freeJun 17 00:40
XRevan86And they will defend what they by consensus consider to be property.Jun 17 00:40
MinceRit is generally easier to copy than moveJun 17 00:40
XRevan86MinceR: Next thing you'll tell me that land is nature and scarce, so belongs to everyone.Jun 17 00:40
MinceRi don't think there's an easy way out with landJun 17 00:41
MinceRdeclare it strictly owned and people will find themselves without a place they could live inJun 17 00:41
MinceRdeclare it "not property" and you have no privacyJun 17 00:41
XRevan86MinceR: It's a tricky subject. But eternal ownership of land has some interesting consequences.Jun 17 00:42
MinceRand you have strangers milling about in the house you're trying to sleep inJun 17 00:42
XRevan86That ancap will absolutely not touch.Jun 17 00:42
MinceRbut then, i'm not an "ancap" or an "ancom"Jun 17 00:42
XRevan86MinceR: Neither am I.Jun 17 00:42
XRevan86> declare it "not property" and you have no privacyJun 17 00:43
XRevan86That's never the case. Usually the approach is a lease.Jun 17 00:44
MinceRfrom whom?Jun 17 00:44
MinceRand what is the basis of leasing land if land is not property?Jun 17 00:44
XRevan86MinceR: In anarchy – I don't know.Jun 17 00:44
XRevan86Maybe some mutual agreement that land should not be inherited.Jun 17 00:45
XRevan86Not ancap'ish but in some other form.Jun 17 00:45
MinceRor just a general understanding that if someone's trying to hog all the land, they're going to get lynchedJun 17 00:47
XRevan86MinceR: What if your business is land-based (plantation)?Jun 17 00:48
XRevan86Or if there's just one good strip of land in the vicinity.Jun 17 00:48
MinceRthere will probably be others who want to engage in such business as wellJun 17 00:48
MinceRand it's in the clients' interest to have competition on the marketJun 17 00:48
XRevan86But it's not hogging if your enterprise needs it.Jun 17 00:49
MinceRdependsJun 17 00:50
MinceRare others starving because of it?Jun 17 00:50
oiaohmMinceR: really it gets fun when you read the finer print of many countries free hold title.   Land in a lot of cases is not your property at all its the governments that they allow you to use on a unlimited lease.    People normally find this out when govenment sells mining contract under them.Jun 17 00:50
XRevan86MinceR: There are always others starving.Jun 17 00:50
oiaohmand you techically don't have to be paid a cent.Jun 17 00:51

oiaohmSo much of what we call property when you get into fine print arbitrary ideas written on paper. Jun 17 00:52
MinceRoiaohm: that doesn't really make it any betterJun 17 00:52
MinceRit's just that people like to pretend the government doesn't exist or that it isn't run by peopleJun 17 00:52
oiaohmMost people don't think how come when a country gets invaided land titles basically go by by as well.Jun 17 00:53
oiaohmBecause land title depends on your country.Jun 17 00:53
XRevan86Somehow we don't live in an abstract world of ideas.Jun 17 00:53
XRevan86Capitalism doesn't exist, socialism doesn't exist, nothing in reality can fully comply with ideas.Jun 17 00:54
DaemonFC[m]<MinceR "it's just that people like to pr"> They aren't people. They're Replicant Lizards.Jun 17 00:58

psydreadBeOS was Unix-like and Haiku actually has implemented all of Posix. At least that's what one of the developers recently said. It just doesn't have X11.Jun 17 05:35

oiaohmSo yes Haiku is Posix compadbile but the library name holding the function could be completely different to every other Unix/BSD/Linux in existance.Jun 17 05:46
psydreadoiaohm, yes, I know they have some weirdness and I wouldn't put it on my main machines, but I was surprised it worked on real hardware at all.

If we are fortunate, it stays an uprising — against a whole system built on anti-Blackness.

It is about George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Oscar Grant, Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd and so many others, as well as the hundreds of years’ worth of violence against Black communities.

omac777Someone posted something about Microsoft acknowledging Rust and wanting to proceed to adopt it for any upcoming software development.  I replied along the lines that why should rust developers care about MS thinks because I don't highly regard Microsoft and prefer to warn Rust redditors to remain vigilant about anything Microsoft.  The end resultJun 17 13:09
omac777was I got harshly downvoted in terms of point and given a warning of being booted of the forum for rule of "zeolotry".  They said don't be "over zealous".  They said "do you have a bone to pick with Microsoft?".  I'm an older individual so I have read the number of legal suits against Microsoft.  I've been admiring techrights.org for a long timeJun 17 13:09
omac777from a distance.  I de-activated my account with reddit reason being "too much censorship".  I suspect the rust reddit moderator being a Microserf. Thank you for listening.Jun 17 13:09

omac777the ducky doesn't imply auto typing.  In fact I abhor auto-typing within rust.  I prefer explicit types not variants.  auto is like a variant, but it leaves room for stuff being auto-converted when returning stuff to other caller functions using different types. It wastes lots of cpu time converting between types everywhere.  It also leaves roomJun 17 14:06

omac777the duck-typing for me simply makes functions available for structures without having to exist within the structure itself.  it feels like interfaces....in fact in golang everything is an interface and this is how they manage to make all this magic work.  In Rust it actually can be made to work in the very same way which is awesome.Jun 17 14:10

DaemonFC[m]Think about it. They can pay a million dollars over 18 years in welfare and public schools or $1,500 one time to buy every man out there a real doll.Jun 17 19:47
DaemonFC[m]As a carbon offset and population control strategy, you really can't knock it.Jun 17 19:47
DaemonFC[m]I think it's kind of ridiculous that women have all of these birth control options and it's all bought and paid for by Uncle Sugar, including tubes tied.Jun 17 19:48
DaemonFC[m]Women are rate limited as to how much they can get pregnant, but there are some men who go around and have kids with 5-6 different women.Jun 17 19:48
DaemonFC[m]We're not really solving the problem by only giving women options and telling men that the condom is all they get and it has an 86% success rate if you use them right.Jun 17 19:49
DaemonFC[m]86% is obviously better than 0%, but it's not something that entirely eliminates the risk. Jun 17 19:50
DaemonFC[m]Men should be able to get a vasectomy and their insurance should have to pay for it 100%.Jun 17 19:50
DaemonFC[m]Deciding that you'll never have kids is not a bad decision.Jun 17 19:50
DaemonFC[m]In fact, in light of the United States turning into Soylent Green levels of unemployed people overnight due to the criminal overreaction by state governments to tge virus, I think we really need two things now.Jun 17 19:52
DaemonFC[m]Expand Social Security to Universal Basic Income and enact sweeping measures that remove all barriers to contraception.Jun 17 19:53
DaemonFC[m]The virus is out there anyway and it'll kill about the same number of people, just over a longer timeframe.Jun 17 19:53

DaemonFC[m]If I was straight and had kids when I was 16, they would be 20 years old now, if I did it at 18, they'd be 18, if I did it at 20, they'd be 16.Jun 17 19:55
DaemonFC[m]In any event, they'd be aging into this fucking horseshit mess.Jun 17 19:55
DaemonFC[m]They'd be inheriting a world that is the most fucked up it has ever been.Jun 17 19:56
DaemonFC[m]Although in 2000-2006, it wouldn't have been as obvious because things seemed to be going well on the surface.Jun 17 19:56
DaemonFC[m]I did them a giant favor by not having kids. They'll never exist so they wouldn't know that, but I did them a favor.Jun 17 19:57

DaemonFC[m]The worst of the AIDS epidemic didn't start to subside until people started wearing condoms because they saw what it was doing to people.Jun 17 23:08
DaemonFC[m]The federal government was no help at all and most of the US contribution to the AIDS research of the 1980s was a fraud named Robert Gallo who claimed he isolated a virus that some French researchers sent him to study and then named it, incorrectly, HTLV III.Jun 17 23:09

DaemonFC[m]Obviously, hyper-v has nothing to do with Linux. It doesn't affect you though because the module isn't used outside of Linux as a Windows guest, but the media played that up. Then brushed off the fact that the code was crap and that Novell paid Greg KH to fix it.Jun 17 23:52
