| sebsebseb | schestowitz: the news s that they apparnatly hacked in and tried to steal coronoavirus vacine info | Jul 17 00:14 |
| schestowitz | you need to be specific | Jul 17 00:14 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: I nie alone, I hef comrade AVRS wiz me hier. | Jul 17 00:14 |
| schestowitz | sounds like something US would do | Jul 17 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | schestowitz: except the UK is working with the US and Canada to do this vacine it seems | Jul 17 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | OpenSUSE struck me as everything I would expect from a bunch of krauts. | Jul 17 00:15 |
| schestowitz | lol | Jul 17 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Completely overdesigned in every way. | Jul 17 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | To the point of horrible unreliability. | Jul 17 00:15 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: I no longer trust the US numbers, given what I've read over the past week | Jul 17 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | schestowitz: have you been waring a face mask ? | Jul 17 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | face covering | Jul 17 00:15 |

| schestowitz | sometimes streets if many people are there around me | Jul 17 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | and it only protects someone else a little bit maybe | Jul 17 00:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "DaemonFC: I no longer trust the"> The part about "Bypass the CDC and send your patient data to Peter Thiel." struck me as the most horrifying part so far. | Jul 17 00:17 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: I'm also in the right city %) | Jul 17 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | schestowitz: why you been waring ? | Jul 17 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | let's ask them too. DaemonFC[m] XRevan86 you been wearing a face mask? | Jul 17 00:17 |

| schestowitz | former soviet union | Jul 17 00:17 |
| schestowitz | hungary | Jul 17 00:17 |

| sebsebseb | teh russians | Jul 17 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | and a cap and a hat | Jul 17 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | got the signed cd's and the t shirt though | Jul 17 00:18 |
| schestowitz | brb | Jul 17 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | for a band | Jul 17 00:18 |
| XRevan86 | schestowitz: Um, no, I'm in the Russian Federation, I think here only MinceR is from Hungary. | Jul 17 00:18 |
| MinceR | yes, i am, unfortunately | Jul 17 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | XRevan86: that's what I thought | Jul 17 00:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've been wearing three face masks. | Jul 17 00:18 |
| MinceR | and it wasn't officially a part of the USSR, only a colony | Jul 17 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | XRevan86: we can't trust your kind properly it seems | Jul 17 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | XRevan86: Russians | Jul 17 00:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A KN95 with two surgical masks as well. | Jul 17 00:18 |
| MinceR | also, cornholiovirus | Jul 17 00:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I need TP for my bunghole. | Jul 17 00:19 |
| XRevan86 | And I'm in St. Petersburg, the city where The Troll Factory of Prigozhin is located (apparently Lakhta 2). | Jul 17 00:19 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 17 00:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I come from Lake Titicaca in Nicaragua. | Jul 17 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: oh Apple, oh APple oh Apple, and Microsoft, and Canonical | Jul 17 00:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You will bow down to the almighty bunghole! | Jul 17 00:19 |
| XRevan86 | sebsebseb: I've been saying that for years here | Jul 17 00:20 |
| XRevan86 | It's a well-known fact %) | Jul 17 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | XRevan86: what that Russians or most of them, can't be trusted enough ? | Jul 17 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | XRevan86: dodgy people ? | Jul 17 00:20 |
| XRevan86 | sebsebseb: That the government here is hard to tell apart from organised crime. | Jul 17 00:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Very corrupt government, but ours is getting there. If it's not there already. | Jul 17 00:20 |
| MinceR | Trust No One | Jul 17 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | XRevan86: yeah but some of the general usaul peole who live in Russia, are a bit dodgy too, I mean | Jul 17 00:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The federal government is rapidly turning into a dictatorship where what there is of the otehr party doesn't even fight it really. | Jul 17 00:21 |
| *schestowitz prepares EPO leaks for publishing | Jul 17 00:21 | |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: don't trust russians to send you all the stuff. for example the mugs and hats, like I mentieond above | Jul 17 00:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | States are all fending for themselves. Some have leadership that is as stupid as it is corrupt, like Governor Kemp in Georgia and Governor DeSantis in Florida. | Jul 17 00:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's why they're paying a much steeper price for that now. | Jul 17 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: instead thehy will take the money all of it, and make it so you can't just contact them | Jul 17 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: or if you contact them, it doens't go through or whatever | Jul 17 00:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | New York got whacked pretty hard because Cuomo is an idiot and a textbook narcissist. | Jul 17 00:22 |

| XRevan86 | sebsebseb: "raceng" – I don't know that word. | Jul 17 00:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | At least half the states should be so lucky as to have their governor arrested. | Jul 17 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | schestowitz: I got plane re fund the other day | Jul 17 00:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | One of Trump's high ranking campaign members who was running for Congress just got 3 felony indictments and a misdemeanor. | Jul 17 00:25 |
| sebsebseb | schestowitz: plane companies got ot refund like crazy | Jul 17 00:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He was a naughty naughty boy and voted from a UPS box. | Jul 17 00:25 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: is hungry worth a flight too :D | Jul 17 00:25 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: next summer | Jul 17 00:25 |
| XRevan86 | sebsebseb: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Map_of_Russia_-_Khabarovsk_Krai.svg this place | Jul 17 00:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Apparently he thought that having a UPS box with a fake street address on it would never be found out. | Jul 17 00:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That he could just run for Congress like that. | Jul 17 00:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He fooled the DMV apparently. | Jul 17 00:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's illegal to attempt to put one of those addresses on a state ID or driver's license in Illinois. A felony, even. | Jul 17 00:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm sure a few people do it and get away with it, but it's one of those things that the government could figure out and charge you with. | Jul 17 00:27 |
| MinceR | sebsebseb: dunno | Jul 17 00:27 |
| MinceR | sebsebseb: i think it's a total shithole, at least the inhabited parts | Jul 17 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: maybe it will be for the desperate air lines here | Jul 17 00:27 |
| MinceR | sebsebseb: but i've heard nice things from visitors | Jul 17 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: they want pepole to get flithst some where | Jul 17 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | flights | Jul 17 00:27 |
| XRevan86 | "I/we Furgal" – that's still going. It's like BLM protests having "I/we Floyd.3" | Jul 17 00:27 |
| XRevan86 | thanks, cat, for sending that prematurely | Jul 17 00:27 |
| MinceR | i guess visitors to budapest don't mind that there are practically no working means of transportation | Jul 17 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: yep and the worst part of the whole country, is your home :D | Jul 17 00:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I updated my draft card, because it counts as mail from a federal agency when you go to get your license. | Jul 17 00:28 |
| MinceR | the public transport system is a joke, and so's the "road" "network" | Jul 17 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | oh | Jul 17 00:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They can't draft me (way too old), but it still accepts updates apparently. | Jul 17 00:28 |
| MinceR | but if it isn't too far, you can walk... but if it's the summer, you'll be baked in one of the concrete tubs they call "streets" | Jul 17 00:28 |
| XRevan86 | I wonder if it really started with Golunov or if maybe it's older than that. | Jul 17 00:28 |
| MinceR | because the people in charge hate all life and especially plants with a passion | Jul 17 00:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I too hate trees with a passion. | Jul 17 00:29 |
| MinceR | and if it rains heavily, you'd better bring a boat, because apparently storm drains are unknown in budapest | Jul 17 00:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're used by liberals to inflate property value, waste space, and harass car owners with bird shit. | Jul 17 00:29 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Did a tree eat your dog? | Jul 17 00:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There ought to be a law. | Jul 17 00:29 |
| MinceR | also because the people in charge of roads haven't got the slightest idea of what a road (or a sidewalk) is supposed to be like | Jul 17 00:29 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: What's a drain? | Jul 17 00:30 |
| *oiaohm has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) | Jul 17 00:30 | |
| MinceR | we have footpaths covered in some sort of concrete-like mess with every edge curled up so they all turn into little lakes when it rains | Jul 17 00:30 |
| *oiaohm (~oiaohm@unaffiliated/oiaohm) has joined #techrights | Jul 17 00:30 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | XRevan86: If they eat dogs, we should plant as many trees as possible. | Jul 17 00:31 |
| MinceR | also, apparently this wasn't bad enough | Jul 17 00:31 |
| XRevan86 | MinceR: Some good people probably put boards over them for walking convinience | Jul 17 00:31 |
| MinceR | because the nazis are starving budapest of funds ever since they lost the election for mayor | Jul 17 00:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, tell the trees that the liberals with the dogs, who don't clean up the dog shit, are also dogs. | Jul 17 00:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Naturally, this will require some form of implantable microchip that we all activate to tell the SmartTrees that eat dogs and liberals who the liberals are. | Jul 17 00:32 |
| MinceR | oh yeah, they love covering the sidewalks with dog shit over here, too | Jul 17 00:32 |
| MinceR | hungarians keep a preposterous amount of dogs | Jul 17 00:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I don't think that there is a political center anymore in America. | Jul 17 00:32 |
| MinceR | i guess the downtrodden ones need some thing they can oppress and abuse | Jul 17 00:32 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC[m]: sounds like a good thing | Jul 17 00:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you're not batshit crazy enough to tick all the checkboxes one way or the other, you're a pariah everywhere. | Jul 17 00:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | At least the Congressman in this district voted against renewing the "patriot" act several times. | Jul 17 00:34 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: A literal confederacy, eh? | Jul 17 00:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Makes me feel a little better about voting for him, I guess. | Jul 17 00:34 |
| MinceR | 17 013319 < DaemonFC[m]> If you're not batshit crazy enough to tick all the checkboxes one way or the other, you're a pariah everywhere. | Jul 17 00:34 |
| MinceR | it's the same thing here | Jul 17 00:34 |
| MinceR | and i suspect it's nearly everywhere | Jul 17 00:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm watching Greyhound. They made it an Apple TV exclusive when the movie theaters were shut down. | Jul 17 00:35 |

| DaemonFC[m] | WTF | Jul 17 01:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, Apple has 12% of the market. Which is a monopoly. | Jul 17 01:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | TIL | Jul 17 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | DaemonFC[m]: Apple is very popular on phones since people are igorant yep | Jul 17 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | DaemonFC[m]: just like Windows is still reasonably popular on lap topsa nd desktops since people are ignorant yep | Jul 17 01:26 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC[m]: and yeah, i misunderstood what you meant by "political center" | Jul 17 01:29 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: not my article | Jul 17 01:30 |
| schestowitz | see top | Jul 17 01:30 |
| schestowitz | he likes apple things | Jul 17 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | schestowitz: who does? MinceR yep | Jul 17 01:34 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: there is a difference between having a monopoly and monopolistic actions. Apple is for sure doing thinks that would be monopolistic actions like the fact you cannot put a third party appstore on their devices. | Jul 17 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | oiaohm: Apple want to lock MinceRn in | Jul 17 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: | Jul 17 01:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apple pretty much forces you to buy more of their stuff if you get one of their products. | Jul 17 01:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Walled garden. | Jul 17 01:42 |
| oiaohm | and the deals apple does with silicon vendors to make sure particular chips are only sold to apple | Jul 17 01:42 |
| oiaohm | Attempted to build a Walled garden normally means performing monopolistic actions. | Jul 17 01:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, they have Intel make special processors that are slower than normal so they can really get you. | Jul 17 01:43 |
| oiaohm | No intel does not make special processors for apple. But intel only sells the processor type apple users to large vendors so making small repair impossible. | Jul 17 01:44 |
| oiaohm | Apple devices don't normally have intel specification required cooling for the x86 chips in their devices so they are themral throated to hell. | Jul 17 01:45 |
| oiaohm | Wonder if apple with their own arm chips will provide proper cooling. | Jul 17 01:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Probably not. They want it to be quiet, not fast. | Jul 17 02:22 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Another Coronavirus record smashed in the US. | Jul 17 02:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | By 1,100. | Jul 17 02:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | At this rate there's going to be another new record tomorrow. | Jul 17 02:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, I knew we were fucked when blue states started giving up on counting. | Jul 17 02:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only thing left to do is keep your head down, hope you avoid it somehow, and wait a few more months, and don't believe them if they say things are getting better before then. | Jul 17 02:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump Jr. is the most disgusting person. Worse than his dad. | Jul 17 02:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He said this was all made up by Democrats and the virus will just "go away after the election". | Jul 17 02:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Hospitals in Georgia are overflowing with COVID-19 patients while the governor bans mask orders. | Jul 17 02:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In about 12 more days, Florida will have more total cases than any other state in the country. | Jul 17 02:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When it finally overtakes New York. | Jul 17 02:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We soared past their second bullshit figure for "August 4th" 3 days ago. | Jul 17 02:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So of course this time they raised it somewhat to 175,000 by "October 4th", and they expect us to believe that we're not going to be there at this rate by August 20th. | Jul 17 02:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's already been worse than the worst year of the flu since the 1950s (and that was an entire 12 month year) in less than 4 months, and it just keeps burning out of control because there's so many more people who can get it. | Jul 17 02:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This really is starting to look like a 500,000+ thing by the time we reach the 12 month point. | Jul 17 02:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The stock investor sites are talking about how great the stock market is, when consumer spending is in the toilet and the unemployment hits just keep coming in. | Jul 17 02:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only thing that is way up is "food at home". | Jul 17 02:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You would have to be out of your mind to go to Disney World with Florida like this, and they'll manage to cause more outbreaks because people are stupid and some will go anyway. | Jul 17 02:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I told my mom it was going to be more like a siege than a month or two and then we were okay, but she insisted it would blow over by about June. | Jul 17 02:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't know exactly how long, but even in March I was assuming at least October. | Jul 17 02:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's looking like that was optimistic too. | Jul 17 02:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Due to lack of any commitment by bad actors in about half the states, no leadership from the feds, instead of burning it out with the shutdown, we just prolonged the agony. | Jul 17 02:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I really suspect that the "plan" going forward is to get the "spreadsheet" numbers down by refusing to test people. | Jul 17 02:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It'll help their narrative that the virus is over with and it's safe to go out. | Jul 17 02:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If the numbers start to collapse in a week or two, that's obviously what's going on. | Jul 17 02:58 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: yes, but good journalists would point out what's going on | Jul 17 03:06 |

| schestowitz | First, he is rights that the matter is urgent as many sources confirm that Germany can ratify UPCA and they will try to push it through rather than risk a renegotiation. | Jul 17 03:24 |
| schestowitz | Second, mobilising legal academia was not an easy thing for me, as I am a known critic and do not spend much time with academics from IP, as IP law does not offer any solution and the matter is economic and constitutional. In the constitutional law quarters, academics are more independent and open minded, especially those specialising in human rights, but they do not understand patent law at all. In the end, after some weeks I did | Jul 17 03:24 |
| schestowitz | manage to push some people and an ad hoc conference was organised online with the support of three academics from UCLouvain from Brussels. There is now a discussion group preparing an open letter and communications with EU institutions but their timetable does not conform with the urgency of the matter. Also, I sensed that some academics from Germany are just testing the climate regarding this academic initiative and remain carefully | Jul 17 03:24 |
| schestowitz | distant. No surprises here. | Jul 17 03:24 |
| schestowitz | ------- | Jul 17 03:24 |

| schestowitz | "As things stand at present, the matter is a bit urgent and if Germany does not manage to have its way, the UPC legislative package must re-open, and it is here where I can do something useful. In other words, we get back to activism and there is no much time for the book project at present and Benjam in is now under considerable pressure to prepare a legal action in case the German government and parliament ratify the UPC.

| schestowitz | is critical." | Jul 17 03:26 |

| schestowitz | we can stop this, as we did before... | Jul 17 03:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | These software patents are like something Harry Mudd would try to pitch. | Jul 17 03:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Given the ST: TOS memes. | Jul 17 03:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Rothschild Imaging was a real knee slapper. | Jul 17 03:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We have a patent on a program loading some JPEGs off your hard drive. | Jul 17 03:36 |
| schestowitz | on almost everything | Jul 17 03:37 |
| schestowitz | but it costs a lot to invalidate those | Jul 17 03:37 |
| schestowitz | because they appeal | Jul 17 03:37 |
| schestowitz | again and again | Jul 17 03:37 |
| schestowitz | until those with deeper pockets prevail | Jul 17 03:37 |
| schestowitz | vacated and remanded | Jul 17 03:37 |
| schestowitz | to keep the legal bills high | Jul 17 03:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Wikipedia says one of the JPEG trolls managed to extract over $100 million before having the patent overturned. | Jul 17 03:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Each individual company just settles to keep their legal defense from getting out of control and nobody ever rules on whether the patent is invalid. Or by the time they have, so many others have paid out big time to avoid being the one that went to court. | Jul 17 03:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In software, it pretty much means that the only way to be sure the software isn't violating a patent is that it's at least 20 years old. | Jul 17 03:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So old formats like JPEG hang on because nobody wants to be at the receiving end of a lawsuit. | Jul 17 03:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That JPEG 2000 standard was a big upgrade, but the patent situation quickly turned into a mess and nobody really ended up using it. | Jul 17 03:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's interesting that Firefox still has no support for it even though the patents have expired. Neither does Chromium. | Jul 17 03:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some caching servers respond to Safari user agents and send JPEG 2000 files. | Jul 17 03:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The reference decoder has never been used that much and might have all sorts of security problems. | Jul 17 03:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So WebkitGTK (GNOME Web and Midori) is the only free web engine that supports it, and it's not at all clear that this is safe, even if you bubblewrap it, which Midori doesn't do. | Jul 17 03:54 |

| MinceR | :> | Jul 17 17:31 |
| XRevan86 | Honestly, I think that may have merit. Instead of putting oneself in a defensive position, one can speak like a corporate entity and dodge any responsibility for their faults. | Jul 17 17:33 |

| XRevan86 | It's a talent. | Jul 17 17:35 |
| XRevan86 | It's strange how "professionalism" is directly linked to avoiding admitting one | Jul 17 17:37 |

| MinceR | well, working in unsafe conditions reduces supply for such jobs and thus drives prices up | Jul 17 18:38 |
| MinceR | this isn't rocket surgery | Jul 17 18:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "When there's no actual rape gping on and the government made up a crime because they were all finished solving real crime and had extra time on their hands.". | Jul 17 18:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then I explained what it really meant. | Jul 17 18:39 |
| MinceR | and it may well be financially worth spending on improving safety, as it would increase supply and thus reduce price of work | Jul 17 18:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Statutory rape. White woman in distress outgrowth. | Jul 17 18:42 |
| MinceR | lol @ government being finished solving real crime | Jul 17 18:43 |

| DaemonFC[m] | If you default on a Citi card, they'll sell the account to some scummy collector after about 3 months. They aren't even nice about reminding you that you missed a payment by the second month. | Jul 17 19:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They just give up on the account right away and sell it. | Jul 17 19:59 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.businessinsider.com | Gun sales surge as safety concerns fuel a 'seismic shift' in ownership - Business Insider | Jul 17 20:20 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yes, defund the police and use the savings as a one time expense to buy everyone without a violent felony conviction a gun. | Jul 17 20:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Problem solved. | Jul 17 20:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Over time, as the people with the felonies are eliminated as they attempt to commit further violent crimes against lawful gun owners, the cost of running the criminal court/prison system will fall dramatically. | Jul 17 20:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The cost savings to society will treble, and there will be a new wave of economic prosperity as people who were losing their property and paying taxes to deal with a criminal system that was not working can spend it as they see fit. | Jul 17 20:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Illinois is running a "cash register justice" system even as it pats itself on the back for being very progressive. | Jul 17 20:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Usually even a minor crime or infraction can be a financial dirty bomb that just keeps getting worse. The fine itself might only be $75, but they'll hit you with court costs and then paying for whatever your own punishment ends up being, and it'll be $1,200 or so before you know it. Then if you can't pay it, they send it to collections at 30% interest as a civil debt, you can't file bankruptcy, and they never let you | Jul 17 20:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | off probation, even as it costs more each month. | Jul 17 20:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The attitude of "Why make the taxpayers foot the bill?" set in here, and it created an oppressive system where they do end up paying for it in the end, and more, because the judge finally gets tired of it and imposes a jail sentence. | Jul 17 20:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Just charging them the $75 an letting them be on their way would actually be cheaper. | Jul 17 20:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because instead of eating a few hundred bucks to run that guy through the court system and slapping him on the hand, they end up paying $50,000 to put him in jail for a year because he was too broke to get off probation. | Jul 17 20:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | --- | Jul 17 20:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I would have been a strong +1 on BtrFS if anyone cared what I thought about it. | Jul 17 20:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It seems to be a "Hey you kids, get off my lawn!" attitude in the opposition at this point. | Jul 17 20:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In the areas it falls apart it's usually a case where all hope would be lost with Ext4, and the advantages of compression, snapshots, and not letting corruption spread like a blight through your backups like older file systems can far outweighs the risk. | Jul 17 20:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, having Ext4 on an LVM introduces issues with trying to salvage it if there's a problem, so there's that. | Jul 17 20:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's also smart enough to know it's running on an SSD and taking steps to minimize unnecessary writes (compression helps too!), so your SSD can theoretically last years longer because of fewer writes. | Jul 17 20:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's just a lot of upsides, even if you don't care about RAID. | Jul 17 20:34 |

| MinceR | finally twitter's loyalties come to light | Jul 17 20:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I stopped buying Goya because of that. | Jul 17 20:38 |

| MinceR | their stores are atrocious | Jul 17 20:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Most of the stores that have gone into bankruptcy in the US are just the debt weight that staggered on because of Trump's tax scam and fake low interest rates. | Jul 17 20:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I keep seeing these names and I'm like "When is the last time anyone shopped there? No loss.". | Jul 17 20:43 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 17 20:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR I actually laughed because the reaction to the Goya thing made it obvious he's created a big problem for his business. | Jul 17 20:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then he steps in it again instead of apologizing. | Jul 17 20:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then there's Trump grinning around some cheap Goya crap. | Jul 17 20:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Most of Trump's voters wouldn't know what to do with Goya products anyway. | Jul 17 20:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're too busy killing themselves with other cheap garbage and the virus. | Jul 17 20:47 |

| DaemonFC[m] | There's many reasons including hiring managers that quietly throw applications in the trash because the name sounds "black" and that the state is much more likely to charge a wobbler as a felony if you're black. | Jul 17 21:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then good luck finding a job or a place to live that's not a bad credit landlord that also rents out to all kinds of trash. | Jul 17 21:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My credit rating was so completely destroyed by what happened last year that filing bankruptcy improved it by 70 points. Its still pretty bad. | Jul 17 21:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The debt goes away but you have a bankruptcy filing haunting you for 10 years. People know your finances collapsed. | Jul 17 21:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My theory is safety in numbers. Guessing that mass unemployment is wreaking havoc on a lot of people now and that landlords are going to have to lower their expectations to fill apartments. So when bad things happen to lots of people at once you start getting lenders who are more desperate and bad credit doesn't matter as much as it usually does. | Jul 17 21:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They'll evict hundreds of thousands of people as soon as the moratoriums are up, then they'll find themselves with lots of capacity that they'll just have to turn around and rent to credit risks. Very ironic. | Jul 17 21:28 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The virus doesn't like me. | Jul 17 23:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I already requested a mail in ballot. | Jul 17 23:10 |
| schestowitz | [21:17] <DaemonFC[m]> schestowitz: They were talking about how great the unemployment of "only 13.5%" was onn one of those financial sites. CNBC maybe. | Jul 17 23:10 |
| schestowitz | Fake numbers | Jul 17 23:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Lake County government gave up their "We only accept applications starting August 20th." and they're taking them now. | Jul 17 23:10 |
| schestowitz | they probably only count people who registered or something to that effect | Jul 17 23:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Trump has no chance in Illinois, but I'll be happy if I can take out that stupid prosecutor. | Jul 17 23:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So mostly doing it because of him. | Jul 17 23:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My "I'd stand here 5 days in a hail storm." is that prosecutor. | Jul 17 23:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Alone, doesn't matter too much, but Trump will have negative coattails that make it a bad time to be on the ballot as a Republican in Illinois. Worse than usual. | Jul 17 23:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So this might be the chance to flip the last couple of countywide offices. | Jul 17 23:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "they probably only count people "> Another week with 1.3 million initial unemployment applications. | Jul 17 23:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So there's been 5.5 million new jobless applications in the last month but "unemployment is going down!". | Jul 17 23:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Brought to you by the department of black bagging people in Oregon. | Jul 17 23:13 |
| schestowitz | I don't read such sites for news | Jul 17 23:13 |
| schestowitz | BTW, you pasted many interesting links but... | Jul 17 23:13 |
| schestowitz | paywalled | Jul 17 23:13 |
| schestowitz | so it's a big like bait | Jul 17 23:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Just kill the scripts from tinywall. | Jul 17 23:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then it doesn't block the article. | Jul 17 23:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Almost everything on most big news sites are some sort of analytics company that uses pointy hair boss adtech language. | Jul 17 23:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like "We maximize engagement value by capturing the audience's peak attention throughput." | Jul 17 23:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So you block the scripts and nothing _bad_ happens and the site works much faster. Maybe I don't want to be "engaged". Make it so! | Jul 17 23:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This hotel wifi is pure shit and blocking all that garbage from even getting in and running and spying on me and loading paywalls makes it usable. | Jul 17 23:16 |
