| bms | schestowitz[TR2]: the thing about the slop wasn't just that it was out of context and ignoring that the change was already completed, but that it was discussing changes to stuff that wasn't even in scope, and using sloppy corpospeak which was probably LLM generated too, I didn't waste much time skimming it enough to know to ignore it | Sep 18 01:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there are 3 things | Sep 18 01:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | slop commit message | Sep 18 01:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | slop comments | Sep 18 01:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | slop code | Sep 18 01:26 |
| bms | schestowitz[TR2]: the whole thing seemingly ignored the comment about what was only a minor refactoring in case we took stuff from OpenBSD in future | Sep 18 01:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i posted a link re slop comments yesterday | Sep 18 01:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and showed they are useless | Sep 18 01:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they waste humans' time | Sep 18 01:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you should blacklist anyone who did slop | Sep 18 01:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's the best use of time | Sep 18 01:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | same for sites that dabble in LLMs | Sep 18 01:27 |

| bms | this was a slop "discussion" or comment in full rather than a code comment, and the submitter hd the wrong venue; if they wanted to discuss general changes to FreeBSD netipsec (it's a historical quirk that most of my TCP-MD5 code from 2003, which helped score me my fellowship at ICSI in Berkeley 10 years before my PhD), they should have done it on freebsd-net or freebsd-hackers | Sep 18 01:28 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.cbc.ca | Canadian 'banking' company linked to sanctioned money-laundering network | CBC News | Sep 18 01:28 | |
| bms | also whoever it was was totally ignorant about TCP-AO being slated to replace TCP-MD5 which is often only used to interop with ageing Cisco equipment; Arista committed to TCP-AO ages ago | Sep 18 01:29 |
| techrights-news | It's bots, not "AI", it'll just piss off customers and waste their time. They should leave. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canada-banks-ai-9.7337625 | Sep 18 01:29 |

| bms | so I saw some drivel in there about the SADB limitation (I had to abandon putting TCP-MD5 keys in the FreeBSD PF_KEY SPD because the code was unstable, using a fixed SADB entry was fine) but that totally misses the point: it's legacy code and there's no motivation to take such changes, whether sloppy or not | Sep 18 01:30 |

| bms | the submission was so out of scope, out of context, full of corpo-speak, it was complete horse shit and did not add any value of any kind | Sep 18 01:30 |
| bms | TCP-AO shifts the key state to per-socket, not stack-wide | Sep 18 01:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the fastest response is to ignore | Sep 18 01:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | unless it keeps happening | Sep 18 01:32 |
| bms | so rototiling the SADB based hackery is a waste of time unless one specifically needed to do busywork on TCP-MD5 for some reason. it was already good enough. but for whatever reaosn this was really important to the submitter | Sep 18 01:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's like that in social control media | Sep 18 01:32 |

| bms | FreeBSD has a Forgejo which we haven't migrated to yet which is still commmitter only I think, Phabricator is open if you create an account subject to approval | Sep 18 01:32 |
| bms | it's the simple fact the change was already committed, so posting a 100 line or whatever essay on why their LLM contribution is so important with corpo-drivel trying to justify it, is a total non sequitur | Sep 18 01:33 |
| bms | I can't directly ban the account from tracking me or my submissions | Sep 18 01:35 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | yes, i know | Sep 18 02:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the slop oushers: | Sep 18 02:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1. we found a thousand bugs | Sep 18 02:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2. hence, slop works | Sep 18 02:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | reality: | Sep 18 02:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1. you generated bug reports by LLMs | Sep 18 02:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2. using brute force over 300+ years of code | Sep 18 02:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *30 | Sep 18 02:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 3. nobody can or will check if the bug is | Sep 18 02:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | a. serious | Sep 18 02:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | b. true | Sep 18 02:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 4. code removed just in case | Sep 18 02:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | CURL debunksed this (cURL's daniel) | Sep 18 02:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | he said many bugs reported | Sep 18 02:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | only one was true | Sep 18 02:15 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | then to blog about it | Sep 18 02:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | lots of days wasted | Sep 18 02:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to find some small defects | Sep 18 02:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | from mythos(lop) | Sep 18 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | There was no technical reason to remove gopher or all of the FTP code from Firefox. | Sep 18 02:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i know | Sep 18 02:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | eich opposed removing it | Sep 18 02:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | making a gopher client is not hard | Sep 18 02:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i could do that in c in one day | Sep 18 02:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of the ugly/redundant code in the FTP support was there as a special case to deal with Windows NT 4 or Windows for Workgroups or something. | Sep 18 02:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there are c libs for gropher protocol | Sep 18 02:19 |

| IsambardPrince | It's highly unlikely that anyone was using an FTP server from the 90s anymore. | Sep 18 02:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ftps or sftp still used | Sep 18 02:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | very good for some tasks | Sep 18 02:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i worked for nhs | Sep 18 02:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and we had some who uiploaded data that way | Sep 18 02:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the issue was | Sep 18 02:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | many used windows | Sep 18 02:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i.e. back doors | Sep 18 02:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not safe for anything | Sep 18 02:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ftp with ssh is still ssh on top of back doolred platoiorm | Sep 18 02:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *platform | Sep 18 02:21 |
| lxo | one of the great ftp features was the ability to tell a server holding a file to upload it to another server directly, without having to download and upload. that seems to have been lost in the transition to sftp :-/ | Sep 18 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I didn't like Windows very much starting with Vista. | Sep 18 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | It was crap before that, but it was manageable crap. | Sep 18 02:22 |
| lxo | just like wayland drops valuable x11 features | Sep 18 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Like you could use third party utilities to gut it to just what you were using. | Sep 18 02:22 |
| lxo | they call it progress | Sep 18 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Windows 98 had a lot of code bloat that you could just remove with something like ROM or 98lite. | Sep 18 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | That guy that made 98lite made a small business off of selling licenses to something that mostly removed IE and useless fluff from Windows 98. | Sep 18 02:24 |
| IsambardPrince | You could cut Windows 98's system requirements down to run on anything Windows 95 could run on, and better actually. | Sep 18 02:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of the real improvements came in editions of Windows 95 that were not released to retail to keep it going on OEM channels. | Sep 18 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Including FAT32 and USB support. | Sep 18 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | NTFS was much more horrifying than FAT32. | Sep 18 02:26 |
| IsambardPrince | It's completely overdesigned. | Sep 18 02:26 |
| MinceR | sftp is not ftp, it's an ssh service | Sep 18 02:29 |
| MinceR | ftps is ftp over tls | Sep 18 02:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | lxo: we still use many x features that wayland lacks | Sep 18 02:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and that's aside from stability factor | Sep 18 02:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | my laptop, bubi, was last rebooted 1005 days ago | Sep 18 02:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | meanwhile it seems like hearsayBoy cannot even boot his laptop... been trying for almost 3 days | Sep 18 02:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | he is a wayland pusher, of course | Sep 18 02:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's something -phobic not to adopt rust, wayland, systemd | Sep 18 02:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | MinceR: yes, i named both | Sep 18 02:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i still run ftp service | Sep 18 02:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | at schestowitz.coim | Sep 18 02:33 |
| IsambardPrince | The XLibre repo for Ubuntu is very stale. | Sep 18 02:34 |
| lxo | schestowitz[TR2], I still rely a lot on tunneling of X11 over SSH | Sep 18 02:36 |
| lxo | MinceR, I don't recall wether passive mode worked with ftps. even if it did, I guess it probably wouldn't be considered "s". the days of port#-based "security" are long gone | Sep 18 02:38 |
| techrights-news | Techrights reader: "it can be phrased differently or creatively but each and every time Garrett's name is cited, the damage he caused (restricted boot) needs to be brought up in some way, shape, or form" | Sep 18 02:38 |
| techrights-news | "Can the recent posts (say last week's worth) be retroactively edited to include at least a few words each on the topic of restricted boot?" | Sep 18 02:39 |
| techrights-news | "REALLY IMPORTANT !!!!! whiskyboy == restricted boot" | Sep 18 02:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <lxo> schestowitz[TR2], I still rely a lot on tunneling of X11 over SSH | Sep 18 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Security Theater Boot. Malicious software. | Sep 18 02:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | yes,i quoted you on that | Sep 18 02:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | last year, iirc | Sep 18 02:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | when you argued that point | Sep 18 02:40 |
| MinceR | lxo: as far as i can remember, what "s" means in "ftps" seemed to be dependent on the implementation. they could choose to encrypt both the control connection and the data connections | Sep 18 02:40 |
| MinceR | but whether they did, that depends | Sep 18 02:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the argumenmt for rust re sec is similar to wayland | Sep 18 02:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's something like, | Sep 18 02:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | let's use new aned untested code | Sep 18 02:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | because security | Sep 18 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | It's malicious software to prevent the user from putting whatever they want there. | Sep 18 02:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the real reason is lience | Sep 18 02:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and control (microsoft github) | Sep 18 02:41 |
| MinceR | i'm not sure if what direction we make the data connections makes a difference here | Sep 18 02:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that typicallyleaves out the scope | Sep 18 02:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | x server is not secure if you run really maliciouis software | Sep 18 02:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if I install zoom | Sep 18 02:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | which btw reads the clipboard | Sep 18 02:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | LL the time | Sep 18 02:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *ALL | Sep 18 02:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | maybe the issue is not x11 | Sep 18 02:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but | Sep 18 02:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | zoom being able to do even worse things | Sep 18 02:41 |
| IsambardPrince | IIRC, Cum & Cheetos himself said that Security Theater Boot often fails simply because OEMs include their own root certificates for their own programs, which tend to have a lot of exploitable bugs. | Sep 18 02:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to userspace | Sep 18 02:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | maybe with root too, iif installed directly from a zoom domain | Sep 18 02:42 |
| IsambardPrince | If you can include one of those signed programs then use it to escape Secure Boot then the system fails. | Sep 18 02:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Even if the rest of it is perfect, which it is not. | Sep 18 02:42 |
| IsambardPrince | The whole point has always been to lock the user out, gradually. | Sep 18 02:42 |
| MinceR | > OEMs include their own root certificates for their own programs, which tend to have a lot of exploitable bugs. | Sep 18 02:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | yes | Sep 18 02:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's happenbing | Sep 18 02:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | PCs become like "phones" | Sep 18 02:43 |
| MinceR | well, Restricted Boot is designed to lock PCs into windows and macOS, and both of those alleged OS-es are full of bugs | Sep 18 02:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Macs use something called T2. | Sep 18 02:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and TPMs for rootkits | Sep 18 02:43 |
| lxo | security is a wildcard. one must always ask or wonder security for whom and from what/whom? banks love to play the security card, and people swallow stuff that makes for security for the bank, not for the customer | Sep 18 02:43 |
| IsambardPrince | It doesn't stop Linux from booting. | Sep 18 02:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | https://techrights.org/n/2026/09/12/Canonical_Has_Withdrawn_Ubuntu_24_04_5_Installer_Due_to_a_Criti.shtml | Sep 18 02:43 |

| IsambardPrince | But they won't tell anyone how their hardware works. | Sep 18 02:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | lxo: use bots | Sep 18 02:44 |
| MinceR | it's like banking applications and the like for mobile phones insisting that the device not be unlocked or rooted because locking the user out of their own device and ensuring that some ancient manufacturer-supported image is running on it makes it oh so secure | Sep 18 02:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for banking | Sep 18 02:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then they will blame you or bots | Sep 18 02:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you = because you do "online banking' | Sep 18 02:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (your fault) | Sep 18 02:44 |
| IsambardPrince | In many cases, Apple takes otherwise commodity chips and disables features they don't use. | Sep 18 02:44 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | it's "hey hi" | Sep 18 02:44 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.cbc.ca | Canada's big banks embrace AI as workers face job uncertainty | CBC News | Sep 18 02:44 | |

| schestowitz[TR2] | people pay for homes twice over | Sep 18 02:45 |
| lxo | schestowitz[TR2], I don't get your mention of bots. what do you mean by "use bots"? | Sep 18 02:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or lose them, foreclosure | Sep 18 02:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Even though neither of those modes is ideal, and they waste power. | Sep 18 02:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the bank used to profit based on risks taken | Sep 18 02:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | now they remove the risks | Sep 18 02:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | take profits | Sep 18 02:45 |

| nobody | schestowitz[TR2]: my perspective onto Linux/libre is a purely technical one | Sep 18 09:24 |
| nobody | it's been highly problematic long before the whole Hey Hi code snippet copy-paste hysteria escalated | Sep 18 09:25 |
| nobody | one approach to understanding my perspective, is bootstrapping and vendor-neutral C-toolchain portability of a complete Linux/GNUish/POSIX system | Sep 18 09:26 |
| nobody | long story short in this regard, it's been an epic knee-yerk by GNU/linux imo, they've vendor-locked technically each other with themselves | Sep 18 09:26 |
| nobody | that's why, there's no other than linux-2.4 remaining nowadays, which full C-toolchain portability was confirmed for | Sep 18 09:27 |
| nobody | the reason why that was important, is a whole other technical debate again | Sep 18 09:27 |
| nobody | then again, i don't give a whatever wherever anymore what tech sector avantgarde had to say about this | Sep 18 09:27 |
| nobody | and there is too technical reasons to question RMS, i'm far less interested in the political smear campaign | Sep 18 09:28 |
| nobody | on a technical basis, RMS was misleading developers and users, imo | Sep 18 09:28 |
| nobody | although, recent trends just made the situation worse than it was before | Sep 18 09:29 |
| nobody | schestowitz[TR2]: see, FOSS people are bragging about RISC-V currently, as one such example | Sep 18 09:29 |
| nobody | you know, it's "royalty free", "open source"... but if you had a look at it this ARCH got no complete system bootstrap | Sep 18 09:30 |
| nobody | meanwhile Nvidia(R) is heavily invested into it, with a trillion $$$, and some GNU/FSF/guix hackers struggling with mentioned system bootstrap without any notable funding known | Sep 18 09:30 |
| nobody | i too slightly disagree with RMS and his arguments critizizing "intellectual property" slightly | Sep 18 09:33 |
| nobody | of cause, his critizism is legitimate, but incomplete | Sep 18 09:34 |
| nobody | and most important, "intellectual property" is codified as international law | Sep 18 09:34 |
| nobody | it's not some "misnomer" which i recall RMS considered it | Sep 18 09:35 |
| nobody | no legal expert, but at bare minimum i tend to think "intellectual property" implies correct scientific citation | Sep 18 09:38 |
| nobody | even when, some Google hey hi scrapes, copyright disclaimers and authors mustn't be stripped from books etc. | Sep 18 09:40 |
| nobody | back to RISC-V, i suspect this got another string attached | Sep 18 09:43 |
| nobody | because for most RISC architectures patents already expired (SuperH, MIPS and who knows what) | Sep 18 09:43 |
| nobody | yet with risc-v "innovation" there seems to have been some trend to re-claim patents... | Sep 18 09:44 |
| nobody | anyway, the most remarkable technical detail with such type of "free" and "open" tech | Sep 18 09:45 |
| nobody | nvidia is invested with a trillion $$$ but got no complete system bootstrap meanwhile guix hackers seek some minimal funding | Sep 18 09:46 |
| nobody | RMS the creator of GNU compiler, seems to have suffered from one or another amnesia | Sep 18 09:47 |
| nobody | i don't mean to be rude, but he always advertized his GCC as the most free thing in existence | Sep 18 09:48 |
| nobody | yet when looking at $ man gcc | Sep 18 09:48 |
| nobody | you'll find this monostrosity documents support for thousands of proprietary malicious vendor extensions (in hardware) | Sep 18 09:48 |
| nobody | in particular his gcc got that many compiler switches to support all of them | Sep 18 09:49 |
| nobody | and that's one of the major arguments to be made _against_ free software of this type | Sep 18 09:49 |
| nobody | besides the fact GNU/FSF together with Linux tailored some technical deficiencies i would say, to _prevent_ vendor-neutral toolchain portability | Sep 18 09:50 |
| nobody | you can't just grab a small and simple compiler such as cproc/qbe, tinycc, scc, pcc etc... and compile/link some Lunix kernel with it | Sep 18 09:51 |
| nobody | that's by design i think, Linux/GNU/FSF design | Sep 18 09:51 |
| nobody | because other than GPL licensing it's too a matter of WHO is the copyright holder of various components | Sep 18 09:52 |
| nobody | and it seems to me FSF seeks to claim exclusive authorship over core components | Sep 18 09:52 |
| nobody | which isn't liberal, but monopolistic | Sep 18 09:52 |
| nobody | even when alternative projects license their components fully GPL compliant | Sep 18 09:53 |
| nobody | it's not been possible to detangle GNU/Linux | Sep 18 09:53 |
| nobody | except for llvm/clang since recently - but i discard this too based on other technical criteria | Sep 18 09:54 |
| nobody | in the end llvm/clang merely resembled the technical design deficiencies of GCC, with a different license in this case | Sep 18 09:54 |
| Righty | >The FSF dares to claim authorship over software it did author Damn. | Sep 18 10:02 |
| Righty | Adding support for CPU extensions with free software, removes a reason to use a proprietary compiler. | Sep 18 10:04 |
| nobody | yes, and freedom was infringed by technical means, to undermine freedom of CHOICE | Sep 18 10:04 |
| Righty | You have the full source code of GCC and every version. | Sep 18 10:04 |
| nobody | you can't just grab some latest Linux sources and compile/link this with a GPLed compiler such as tinycc | Sep 18 10:04 |
| nobody | Righty: i don't care about dozens of millions of lines of incomprehensible code | Sep 18 10:04 |
| Righty | You are free to improve tinycc and fix what it lacks and then it'll compile Linux. | Sep 18 10:05 |
| nobody | which is part of the strategy, big corporations can control such monstrosities | Sep 18 10:05 |
| nobody | Righty: and what's the result of it? | Sep 18 10:05 |
| Righty | Another free compiler that can compile more things. | Sep 18 10:05 |
| nobody | lately german bureaucrats argued my mental conditions must be evaluated | Sep 18 10:05 |
| nobody | although that's unrelated, it's just coincidence who critical thinking is discarded | Sep 18 10:06 |
| nobody | *how | Sep 18 10:06 |
| nobody | and furthermore, even when, there's major technical hindrances why you simply can't support a recent kernel version with vendor-neutral C toolchains | Sep 18 10:07 |
| nobody | it's big corporations such as IBM(R) _only_ who can cope with dozens of millions of lines of code | Sep 18 10:07 |
| Righty | The GNU C specification is publicly available, so you can get writing and fix that perceived issue. | Sep 18 10:07 |
| nobody | Righty: you are mistaken, it's NOT feasible to do so | Sep 18 10:08 |
| Righty | GNU C doesn't seem that complicated to parse and implement. | Sep 18 10:08 |
| nobody | and it's by design | Sep 18 10:08 |
| nobody | if you look at the whole toolchain, add to this binutils, another gigantic monstrosity | Sep 18 10:08 |
| Righty | Yes, it's full of functionality and it was free software. | Sep 18 10:09 |
| nobody | although i already did succeed with fully detangling a _complete_ GNUish/POSIX from GNU-toolchain here | Sep 18 10:09 |
| Righty | GNU isn't POSIX. | Sep 18 10:09 |
| nobody | i can maintain a complete system here, 100% source driven and bootstrapped, _without_ GNU toolchain | Sep 18 10:09 |
| nobody | so, i do know what i am talking about | Sep 18 10:10 |
| Righty | I prefer a complete GNU system. | Sep 18 10:10 |
| nobody | i do appreciate GPL licensed components, but i do reject a GNU/FSF monopoly, based on TECHNICAL criteria | Sep 18 10:10 |
| Righty | If only there was a GNU/Freedom monopoly. | Sep 18 10:11 |
| nobody | see, that's the circular reasoning again, because GCC is powering NON-FREE proprietary malice | Sep 18 10:12 |
| nobody | that's the main mission | Sep 18 10:12 |
| nobody | even when all binary blobs were stripped from kernel | Sep 18 10:13 |
| nobody | it's not "libre" | Sep 18 10:13 |
| Righty | GCC supports CPU architectures that permit 100% free software operation just as well as ones that don't, as it takes extra work to do anything different. | Sep 18 10:13 |
| Righty | GNUboot is pretty libre and it's compiled with GCC. | Sep 18 10:13 |
| nobody | see, that's the trick, to draw an artificial demarcation line between software and hardware | Sep 18 10:13 |
| Righty | It's allowing people to compile free software for whatever proprietary hardware processor. | Sep 18 10:13 |
| Righty | All hardware is proprietary. | Sep 18 10:14 |
| nobody | it's not "proprietay" only, it's too monopolistic, and non-free mostly | Sep 18 10:14 |
| Righty | You can get plenty of proprietary hardware with dozens of suppliers. | Sep 18 10:14 |
| nobody | to rephrase this | Sep 18 10:15 |
| nobody | i rather use free software toolchain of 100k lines of code than 100million lines of it to compile/link any kernel | Sep 18 10:16 |
| nobody | the problem isn't the latter, GNU/FSF IBM and whoever did succeed to monopolize THEIR "free software" | Sep 18 10:16 |
| Righty | Same, but if it's 100 million lines, that's fine too, as long as every single line is free software. | Sep 18 10:16 |
| nobody | but you can't roll along with a toolchain woth 100k lines of code, and that's by design | Sep 18 10:17 |
| bms | RISC-V is showing signs of being way more open than the others | Sep 18 10:17 |
| bms | even MIPS has been further re-proprietarized | Sep 18 10:17 |
| bms | but RISC-V budget supply chain comes from .cn and they lovvvvee using it for CCP surveillance applications | Sep 18 10:17 |
| Righty | Literally anyone can copy any part of GNU's and use it elsewhere. You can put out single files no matter how big the codebase it. | Sep 18 10:17 |
| Righty | All RISC-V SoC's I've looked at are either too slow to be worthwhile or packed to the brim with proprietary software. | Sep 18 10:18 |
| nobody | see, of cause everyone may enjoy a hundred million lines of code and consider that "free" | Sep 18 10:18 |
| nobody | thing is, i do NOT want to do so, just to retain a sane kernel | Sep 18 10:18 |
| nobody | but GNU/FSF did NOT leave you the "freedom of choice" | Sep 18 10:18 |
| Righty | You are free to do whatever. | Sep 18 10:19 |
| nobody | with one difference however, Nvidia, Intel IBM and whoever are drowning in a trillion $$$ | Sep 18 10:19 |
| Righty | You can use GCC to write a much smaller compiler and then use that instead, like tinycc | Sep 18 10:19 |
| nobody | i am not | Sep 18 10:19 |
| Righty | You don't need a trillion to copy and write software. | Sep 18 10:19 |
| nobody | again, i know what i can do, and what was accomplished | Sep 18 10:19 |
| nobody | see, GNU/FSF deficiencies are NOT MY obligation | Sep 18 10:20 |
| Righty | They dare give too much functionality? | Sep 18 10:20 |
| nobody | they're running a cartell/monopoly | Sep 18 10:21 |
| Righty | How does one run a cartel when there's a free license? Literally anyone can come and do business and compete, totally gratis. | Sep 18 10:21 |
| nobody | i just tried to explain some technical means, how that was accomplished, with the help of FSF/GNU too (although they're not the ones to blame) | Sep 18 10:22 |
| nobody | i merely said RMS deserved some critizism | Sep 18 10:22 |
| nobody | because he circuumvented various arguments with each opportunity he had to speak in public | Sep 18 10:22 |
| nobody | saying that's all "free" | Sep 18 10:22 |
| nobody | otherwise, i disagree with the political smear campaigns | Sep 18 10:23 |
| nobody | which, even more infringe free software movement | Sep 18 10:23 |
| nobody | pestering it with ideological lunacies | Sep 18 10:24 |
| nobody | i didn't even bother to follow the Epstein scandal, because there's courts to cope with this | Sep 18 10:24 |
| nobody | my focus is technical concerns | Sep 18 10:24 |

| nobody | "live-ticker from texas: germany receives it's first (and only so far) F-35" | Sep 18 17:29 |
| nobody | which is remarkable news, because nowadays it's the F-35 which permits Germany "nuclear participation" | Sep 18 17:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | _what___: what does the video say, in short? | Sep 18 17:30 |
| nobody | since 1990 we weren't permitted to posses any WMD, and instead USA nukes may be equipped to US approved carriers | Sep 18 17:30 |
| nobody | and that's the one which was delivered just today, mentioned F-35 | Sep 18 17:31 |
| nobody | which implies a renewed permit for nuclear deterrence | Sep 18 17:31 |
| nobody | in parallel to unpreceeded fuel and energy prices in germany, this F-35 is being delivered | Sep 18 17:33 |
| nobody | one only, for ~250million € a unit each | Sep 18 17:33 |
| *IsambardPrince (~isambardprince@ayqnq8v534w9q.irc) has joined #techrights | Sep 18 17:35 | |
| nobody | the moment when straits of hormus blockade persists, and some saudi pipeline detonated too | Sep 18 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that's not the real issue | Sep 18 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | f-35 is | Sep 18 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1) defective | Sep 18 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2) overpriceed | Sep 18 17:36 |
| nobody | ... | Sep 18 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 3) controlled by USA remotelyt | Sep 18 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (while US threatens to annex EU, Greenlland so far) | Sep 18 17:36 |
| nobody | 4) it permits Germany to deliver nuclear payload | Sep 18 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | this is not about germany needing f-35 | Sep 18 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | this is about skinny deutschland in a thong modelling for the US as a weapons model | Sep 18 17:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | *ray | Sep 18 17:37 |
| nobody | yep, i was wondering myself often, why anyone sane would contract for F-35 here in germany | Sep 18 17:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <nobody> 4) it permits Germany to deliver nuclear payload | Sep 18 17:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no, no need | Sep 18 17:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in 2026 we have hypersonic missiles | Sep 18 17:38 |
| nobody | after all, we've got Tornado and Eurofighter, the latter is a high-end modern capable fighter | Sep 18 17:38 |
| nobody | but nuclear payload needs permit from USA | Sep 18 17:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they are more safe, less expensive, and better than u-2 planes | Sep 18 17:38 |
| nobody | so, this seems to be the deal, a nuke for 250million € each | Sep 18 17:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | germany is in eu\france has nukes | Sep 18 17:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if russia attacks nato/de | Sep 18 17:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then france can give nukes to de | Sep 18 17:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and uk also (NATO, not EU) | Sep 18 17:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so that's missing the point | Sep 18 17:39 |
| nobody | schestowitz[TR2]: just recently a german-french aerospace cooperation busted | Sep 18 17:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | dopes not matter | Sep 18 17:39 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | it does notttt ned planes | Sep 18 17:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *need | Sep 18 17:40 |
| nobody | no, we can't without permit, it's strictly forbidden in the 1990s 2+4 peace treaty | Sep 18 17:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | planes re slow and if intercepted you have dead pilots, or wose, PoW | Sep 18 17:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *worse | Sep 18 17:40 |
| nobody | germany is permitted "nuclear participation", hence F-35 | Sep 18 17:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | permitted by who? | Sep 18 17:41 |
| nobody | schestowitz[TR2]: "the allies", that is USA mainly | Sep 18 17:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | germany is distancing itself from usa anyway | Sep 18 17:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the issue is waste of money | Sep 18 17:41 |

| IsambardPrince | Illinois used to have multi-member statehouse districts. | Sep 18 19:27 |
| nobody | yet tbh i don't care about voting that much anymore | Sep 18 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | There were three representatives per district. | Sep 18 19:28 |
| nobody | it doesn't change anything here in germany, it's a waste of time | Sep 18 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | This was eliminated with the Cutback Amendment. | Sep 18 19:28 |
| nobody | in particular all the public commentary about supposedly "democratic" elections | Sep 18 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | There's no requirement that a state has to model itself after the federal government, but most do. | Sep 18 19:28 |
| nobody | it's just a soap opera to entertain "journalists" and pseudo intellectuals nowadays | Sep 18 19:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IsambardPrince: the diaper guy does nnnnnnnnnnnnot want people who vote "wrong" to vote | Sep 18 19:29 |

| nobody | in this regard, Trump is the most exciting soap opera character in history | Sep 18 19:29 |
| IsambardPrince | The most unusual features of US states are the legal system of Lousiana, which is loosely based on French legal concepts | Sep 18 19:29 |
| IsambardPrince | And the Nebraska legislature, which only has one chamber. | Sep 18 19:29 |
| IsambardPrince | During the Great Depression, Nebraska eliminated their statehouse and only kept the senate. | Sep 18 19:29 |

| nobody | that's something german trumpists demand here, to dismantle public state tv which is funded by tax payers | Sep 18 19:30 |
| IsambardPrince | I'd vote to eliminate the Illinois House of Representatives if there was a question. | Sep 18 19:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Both chambers tend to be a democratic party supermajority anyway. | Sep 18 19:31 |
| IsambardPrince | It's wasteful, and it slows down legislation. | Sep 18 19:31 |
| nobody | i'd vote first for shutting down public propaganda tv | Sep 18 19:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Often, one chamber will pass a good bill, but then special interests like landlords or Christian homeschooling will threaten the other and they won't take it up. | Sep 18 19:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Orr they run out of time and have to start over. | Sep 18 19:31 |
| nobody | be glad homeschooling is permitted in USA, here in germany it's effectively forbidden to teach children at home | Sep 18 19:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Then there's over 100 Representatives and they all get over $150,000 a year in compensation. | Sep 18 19:32 |
| nobody | you MUST send them to public schools | Sep 18 19:32 |
| nobody | to feed them with the right political ideals of what's sold as democracy to people here | Sep 18 19:32 |
| IsambardPrince | If I could make two easy cuts to Illinois government it would be get rid of the House of Representatives and eliminate front license plates on cars. | Sep 18 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | The front licnse plates on cars is costing the state $8 million a year. | Sep 18 19:33 |
| nobody | another reason to leave germany (if i had children which i don't), i wouldn't send my children to any of their public schools anymore | Sep 18 19:33 |
| nobody | never ever | Sep 18 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | You could spend that on healthcare or something. | Sep 18 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Or transit projects. | Sep 18 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Instead, they make you have two license plates so they're sure the Flock cameras got you. | Sep 18 19:33 |

| nobody | a mental delusion, hence the psychological evaluation you know, it's all my fault, their corruption and lies | Sep 18 22:06 |
| nobody | anyway, that's how i see it | Sep 18 22:11 |

| IsambardPrince | I guess I'll put off the gas bill. It's not due until the 12th and Discover's next 5% quarter includes utilities. | Sep 18 22:30 |
| nobody | ^ reminds me of the Nord Stream terror attack again | Sep 18 22:50 |
| nobody | because that one was negotiated between USA and EU and Germany and various other endlessly | Sep 18 22:51 |
| nobody | everyone wanted to take a bite from this pipeline | Sep 18 22:51 |
| nobody | transit fees etc. etc. | Sep 18 22:51 |
| nobody | finally USA and Germany consented, Germany may build some LNG terminals here and connect those to the pipeline grid | Sep 18 22:52 |
| nobody | official "wording" for this, Germany might "import LNG from USA" | Sep 18 22:52 |
| nobody | although i tend to think such LNG terminals too may connect for EXPORT | Sep 18 22:52 |
| nobody | so, this is what i suspect: in germany here politics presented crazy energy bills (equivalent to >$50/gallon on my bills here) | Sep 18 22:53 |
| nobody | hence i could not consume any at all, and instead then LNG got exported, let's say for $50, but 100 gallons of those for their official price | Sep 18 22:53 |
| nobody | it's a twisted type of accounting, no sane braine on earth could envision | Sep 18 22:54 |
| nobody | energy and money ex nihilo | Sep 18 22:54 |
| nobody | double and tripple billed | Sep 18 22:54 |
| nobody | in the end, i suspect, USA seeked imports of "cheap russian gas" from Germany | Sep 18 22:54 |
| nobody | LNG that I pay for on my bill, but LNG that i never consumed, and then it's shipped elsehwere, wherever, and sold and billed again | Sep 18 22:55 |
| nobody | round and round it goes, where it ends noone knows | Sep 18 22:55 |
| nobody | September 2022, three days before Nord Stream blew up, i received a letter from my land lord, who insisted i shall pay who knows what $80/gallon or so (no joke) | Sep 18 22:56 |
| nobody | IsambardPrince: three days later Nord Stream exploded | Sep 18 22:56 |
| nobody | which, i must say, i couldn't care less, because neither the money nor any of this gas ever arrived here, except for a bill for this | Sep 18 22:56 |
| nobody | officially, all Nord Stream pipes at that time were either uncertified or in maintenance, and didn't deliver any gas anywhere | Sep 18 22:57 |
| nobody | but still, the moment when the explosived detonated, out of nowhere gigawatts of methane bubbled from the ocean floor to surface | Sep 18 22:58 |
| nobody | few weeks later, politics explained... "see no problem, we got LNG terminals, now USA will supply us with LNG, not russia anymore" | Sep 18 22:58 |
| nobody | no need for those pipelines that connected to the quickly built LNG terminals (that USA insisted were built iirc) | Sep 18 22:59 |
| nobody | all this is still being investigated, mid october this year there will be an interrogation at a Hamburg court | Sep 18 22:59 |
| nobody | because german police caught an attacker, and they want to know who had given the orders to detonate the pipelines | Sep 18 22:59 |
| nobody | it's not yet clear to me either who had tampered the energy bills, for that matter | Sep 18 23:00 |
| nobody | of the little 1100€/month i got, just as said, 700€ are taxed away for appartment rent and miracle energy bills still | Sep 18 23:00 |
| nobody | and i'm paying who knows what, a price equivalent of ~$35/gallon for LNG (1Euro/kWh round about) for "heating" and a little warm water | Sep 18 23:02 |
| nobody | politics here down-scaled my income who knows what 90%, and inflated energy pricing 1000% | Sep 18 23:02 |
| nobody | which is a weird physical equation, Energy == Work, nowadays you get 90% less energy for 10fold work or vice versa | Sep 18 23:03 |
| nobody | whatever benefits money goblins, to acquire F-35, Nvidia and MICROS~1 stocks, whatever pension funds are "invested" into | Sep 18 23:04 |
| nobody | i followed all tracks and traces best as i could | Sep 18 23:04 |
| nobody | so the question isn't only who detonated Nord Stream, but whoever else was involved | Sep 18 23:04 |
| nobody | i wasn't, i've only seen it on the energy bills here three days in advance, something might happen | Sep 18 23:05 |
| nobody | with regards to the recent cold appartment rent hike, that will have to be paid first on 1th october this year | Sep 18 23:05 |
| nobody | and chances are they'll seek to squeeze another few hundred for the non-heating i could afford and pay 700€/month for a fungus rotton appartmen for here | Sep 18 23:06 |
| nobody | now, Saudi Arabia says they'll cut oil supplies to Europe beginnin October | Sep 18 23:06 |
| nobody | what a "coincidence" | Sep 18 23:06 |
| nobody | should i pay more, should i pay less? i couldn't care less. i couldn't afford a car anyway. | Sep 18 23:07 |
| nobody | i couldn't afford an inter-city railway ticket either | Sep 18 23:07 |
| nobody | or whatever elese | Sep 18 23:07 |
| nobody | best idea head of government german chancellor BlackRock Capital CEO got... F-35, to flex muscles | Sep 18 23:07 |
| nobody | how's this supposed to change anything? | Sep 18 23:08 |
| nobody | one F-35 equipped with nukes | Sep 18 23:08 |
| nobody | although that's just speculation and theory | Sep 18 23:08 |
| nobody | as far as i could tell, german government doesn't care about me individually (they only did whenever they could loot and plunder any of my work, my money, expropriate my homeland) | Sep 18 23:09 |
| nobody | there's nothing remaining to loot, except for a cheap hot dog, bread and a beer; and a little tobacco | Sep 18 23:10 |
| nobody | i got no family, no car, no holiday travels, no office space, no contracting, nothing | Sep 18 23:10 |
| nobody | no pension fund savings, that's considered generous social security nowadays for 70hours/week worked day and night | Sep 18 23:11 |
| nobody | because they didn't bother to hire and contract teachers and university staff | Sep 18 23:11 |
| nobody | that's too expensive, unaffordable | Sep 18 23:11 |
| nobody | our nuclear plants are shut down already, and i tend to think, i know the reason why that is | Sep 18 23:12 |
| nobody | Biden J. said, "we'll put an end to this", he wasn't delusional by no means | Sep 18 23:13 |
| nobody | he simply was in error, whatever the plan was, i did not work | Sep 18 23:13 |
| nobody | thing is, even when LNG and Oil piplines are constructed around the globe | Sep 18 23:14 |
| nobody | that's pipelines only, whcih doesn't mean those can be filled and drained into all directions | Sep 18 23:14 |
| nobody | even those precious LNG terminals in Germany, that USA insisted upon those were constructed | Sep 18 23:15 |
| nobody | those must have been filled somehow | Sep 18 23:15 |
| nobody | recently Germany reported record low storage for LNG | Sep 18 23:15 |
| nobody | i suspect they didn't at least have plausible accounting anymore, to know how much LNG really was delivered and consumed | Sep 18 23:16 |
| nobody | because the accounting was rigged all over | Sep 18 23:16 |
| nobody | and politics began to belive, russian gas was cheap, simply because they've had accounted for energy on my bills which never existed here | Sep 18 23:17 |
| nobody | then they began to argue, it's for social-ecological-feminist-whatever-justice the world all over this and that | Sep 18 23:17 |
| nobody | the entire argument was based on fraudulent accounting | Sep 18 23:17 |
| nobody | since the energy trickery was maxed out, they're hiking cold appartment rent here | Sep 18 23:18 |
| nobody | it's relatively moderate still, but the hikes were remarkable | Sep 18 23:18 |
| nobody | it's up +50% in recent 10years | Sep 18 23:19 |
| nobody | electricity peaked at 60cents/kWh (that's an equivalent, moment, of roughly $25/gallon gasoline, round about) | Sep 18 23:19 |
| nobody | Biden too said something about those "heat pumps", i don't recall all details | Sep 18 23:20 |
| nobody | yet whatever he intended to "put an end to", it didn't end, it's gotten worse, much worse | Sep 18 23:20 |
| nobody | whatever Trump seeked to accomplish, it too failed it seems | Sep 18 23:21 |
| nobody | although i tend to think, the type of European "Union" we got, it'll be disconnected from Saudi oil supplies in october | Sep 18 23:21 |
| nobody | projected gasoline pricing at petrol stations then: ~$11/gallon (most of which is taxation here) | Sep 18 23:23 |
| nobody | ahead of the elections, everyone is getting a little nervous, to say the least | Sep 18 23:23 |
| nobody | the way i see it, government seeked to dis-credit and dis-qualify me, because i've had a few questions over energy pricing and income | Sep 18 23:24 |
| nobody | next phase, i wouldn't qualify for labor market anyway without evaluation of my psychological condition | Sep 18 23:24 |
| nobody | yet how should i continue with any of my work, if i wouldn't know if at least i could pay appartment rent february 2027 (that's the next deadline) | Sep 18 23:26 |
| nobody | the cold rent hike arrived July this year, the energy billing is annual and might add on top | Sep 18 23:26 |
| nobody | at financial department they told me, "no worries, if you're saving on energy we'll make no trouble" | Sep 18 23:26 |
| nobody | yet, i do fear, i can't trust any of their words | Sep 18 23:27 |
| nobody | it's a regime of opression, which operates silently | Sep 18 23:27 |
| nobody | and government staff nowadays, i don't know how much pressure is put on them, in fear of them loosing their jobs | Sep 18 23:28 |
| nobody | i've too checked the billing for water usage, which was off-scale 10fold too | Sep 18 23:29 |
| nobody | i've never consumed the amount of what was billed, not last year, not in recent 20 years | Sep 18 23:29 |
| nobody | so all i do when forwarding bills to financial department, is adding a written letter | Sep 18 23:30 |
| nobody | "please notice i saved on energy and water with minimal consumption, billing exploded regardless. please confirm the attached bill. thank you." | Sep 18 23:31 |
| nobody | politics seeked to silence this, systematically, with their "climate change" propaganda (which is void because i did safe on energy, no car, no travels, no family no nothing) | Sep 18 23:37 |
| nobody | for decades | Sep 18 23:38 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: The dermatologist told me I was attacked by arthropods "You know, bugs." | Sep 18 23:38 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "Yeah, well I guess it beats being attacked by cephalopods. You know, octopuses, squids...." | Sep 18 23:38 |
| nobody | yet all of the sudden, a majority of voters is hit hard, because they couldn't squeeze out from low-income students and parasites anymore | Sep 18 23:38 |
| nobody | teachers, university staff, nothing to be saved on these accounts anymore | Sep 18 23:39 |
| nobody | even when shuttding down nuclear plants (which do need engineering and scientific staff) | Sep 18 23:39 |
| MinceR | IsambardPrince: or being attacked by xenomorphs | Sep 18 23:39 |
| nobody | another proposed solution to this was, bringing in immigrants, those supposedly were cheaper, except for the fact an average household of theirs consume 10fold the amount of energy and water and gasoline for their cars | Sep 18 23:40 |
| nobody | so, even if politics decided they rather disposed an unproductive parasite such as myself | Sep 18 23:41 |
| nobody | they had no energy to accomodate someone else, it's not possible to consume less, working more, for even less income | Sep 18 23:41 |
| nobody | impossible | Sep 18 23:41 |
| nobody | and i tend to think uneducated 20year old immigrants throwing all their money into gambling slot machines | Sep 18 23:42 |
| nobody | that's not any more productive than the work of a university teacher | Sep 18 23:42 |
| nobody | it seems to have been part of a political deal with iran and saudis, to permit immigration from their cultural realm in return for energy supplies | Sep 18 23:43 |
| nobody | just speculation and theory | Sep 18 23:43 |
| nobody | but there's some mysterious gigantic risky leverage hiding in the accounts | Sep 18 23:43 |
| nobody | which now hit gasoline stations in europe at $10/gallon | Sep 18 23:43 |
| nobody | if they cut down tax, they can't finance the social security nor immigration either, nor any other unproductive student or whichever subhuman below labor union church standards nowadays | Sep 18 23:44 |
| nobody | with election campaigning, political parties here seek to attract voters, guess what, that's labor union church members | Sep 18 23:45 |
| nobody | recently this was re-framed into a dispute among generations, which it isn't | Sep 18 23:45 |
| nobody | it's a conflict between labor union church members and those not pariticipating in the well-being of this regime | Sep 18 23:46 |
| nobody | all of the sudden politics found, there's not that many labor union church members remaining either | Sep 18 23:46 |
| nobody | hence the decline in votes, and increase in non-voters | Sep 18 23:46 |
| nobody | then AfD Trump style politics appeared on the scene | Sep 18 23:47 |
| nobody | recently i've found, this political "alternative" follows along the same plot as all others did before | Sep 18 23:47 |
| nobody | appeaseing their voters with "gasoline bonus tax cuts", labor union salary negotiations (VW and Metal work pays rather well still) | Sep 18 23:48 |
| nobody | but those jobs are not competitive anymore, were losing thousands of those jobs each week | Sep 18 23:48 |
| nobody | i couldn't afford a VW car anyway, and they can't sell any to anyone, even chinese market isn't big enough | Sep 18 23:49 |
| nobody | maybe India will be the next round of investment | Sep 18 23:49 |
| nobody | then again, where should all the energy come from? | Sep 18 23:49 |
| nobody | oil and gas... | Sep 18 23:49 |
| nobody | there's some other string attached to this, whenever pipelines are constructed, and energy supplies contract | Sep 18 23:50 |
| nobody | a pipeline must be filled, oil and gas must exist to do so | Sep 18 23:50 |
| nobody | once a contract was agreed to, both sides are obligated to compensation of damages if either oil/gas/energy cannot be supplied or isn't consumed | Sep 18 23:51 |
| nobody | that's another explanation why, Nord Stream might have detonated, it relived from compensation of damages if any partner could not have fullfilled obligations | Sep 18 23:51 |
| nobody | and i do suspect, the amounts of energy that were accounted for, never existed, it's been on paper only | Sep 18 23:52 |
| nobody | if russia was selling oil/gas to china, it cant' deliver to germany | Sep 18 23:52 |
| nobody | if germany doesn't receive supplies, it can't join import/export business with USA who insisted those LNG terminals were constructed | Sep 18 23:53 |
| nobody | USA argued, they would supply LNG, all i see is tampered energy bills however | Sep 18 23:53 |
| nobody | don't ask me why the the Saudi pipe detonated | Sep 18 23:54 |
| nobody | Germany contracted with Quatar while ago, but even then a barrel of oil can only be sold and burned once, even when that was accounted thrice in Iran, Saudi, Jemen wherever else | Sep 18 23:54 |
| nobody | plus the magic triple fold accounting in Germany/EU, for the sake of "climate change" | Sep 18 23:55 |
| nobody | and that's the major criticism of the whole "climate change" policy, the whole accounting is rigged | Sep 18 23:55 |
| nobody | on my bill here, they're accounting "carbon tax" on energy which was neither supplied nor consumed | Sep 18 23:56 |
| nobody | for this the consumed energy was multiplied with a "climate multiplier" | Sep 18 23:56 |
| nobody | when 1000kWh are consumed, it's accounted as 4000kWh, but there NEVER was 4000kWh | Sep 18 23:56 |
| nobody | there's no reason for this "climate multiplier", it's total nonsense, but they do want to tax a certain amount regardless | Sep 18 23:57 |
| nobody | Biden said, he'll "put an end to this", he didn't | Sep 18 23:57 |
| nobody | it's gotten worse, and it's gotten worse again when Trump took office again | Sep 18 23:58 |
| nobody | so, ahead of various elections, i do receive an appartmen rent hike... for what? | Sep 18 23:58 |
| nobody | where's this money routed? into F-35 250million € a unit each? | Sep 18 23:59 |
| nobody | it's the same trick with "social security" (basic income, for students, unemployed teachers whoever) | Sep 18 23:59 |
