schestowitz__

It is confirmed that all docs were received at our end.

schestowitz__

leaked stuff, but rather incriminating

schestowitz__

I'm just saying...

schestowitz__

we've made some backups

schestowitz__

and should expect the worst

schestowitz__

MinceR: better to keep the channel mode for now

schestowitz__

to avoid trolls and time-wasting

schestowitz__

or incitation

schestowitz__

discrediting attempts

MinceR

schestowitz__

we'll limit voice to known people

schestowitz__

to avoid vexxing folks

schestowitz__

We've going to publish important article each day now for the next 5 days, re EPO/Microsoft. We're got:

schestowitz__

1. orban mails

schestowitz__

2. 6 public (ish) docs

schestowitz__

3. 3 more internal/hidden docs: Some other interesting EPO documents - CA/40/20 and CA/40/20 Add. 5

Mar 19 00:36

schestowitz__

18 parts core (total), plus addenda and discussion, total over 30

Mar 19 00:36

schestowitz__

total: 32 I think (may change)... keeping track of all them is the hard part and then how to present them, what order etc.

Mar 19 00:37

schestowitz__

vmg* makes nice pdf->html conversions, so hopefully he'll be online in irc soon... PDFs suck and some Android devices I used (only at the gym) cannot handle PDF files... I've organised it for easier digestion over time, given lack of peace and calm... which I guess is what some people want

Mar 19 00:38

schestowitz__

Received thanks for the series already. It's being appreciated. Its final part will coincide with a quarterly meeting of the EPO's AC. 6 documents more might be on the way, to cover later... and lots more coming next month implicating the German Government in Berlin.

Friends putting their home on sale now :-( there was a mortgage on it and COVID takes its toll. Furniture given away on the cheap :-( and their worry is that the home won't sell for much either, due to the general financial atmosphere. COVID kills more than people. It crushes dreams/peace.

Mar 19 01:07

techrights-bot

#eON #UK trying to push people to use "Web site" and "SPY meters"; sadly, it's not alone either, as they already use financial sanctions against people who don't obey unless they can provide proof they cannot physically cope with such 'technology' (old tech suddenly imposed by governments and companies that besiege those governments... how "Smart")

Mar 19 01:09

DaemonFC[m]

<techrights-bot "Friends putting their home on sa"> Yeah, trying to get out from under the house and hoping it doesn't put you in bankruptcy.

Mar 19 01:10

DaemonFC[m]

schestowitz__: If I was going to lose a house, I'd file bankruptcy and walk away from it. Selling it to pay the mortgage makes tax problems.

Mar 19 01:11

schestowitz__

they say they just want to check how much it can sell for

schestowitz__

and later say they sell all the furniture

schestowitz__

on the cheap

schestowitz__

quite the contradictory statement

DaemonFC[m]

Trying to limit the embarrassment at first maybe?

Mar 19 01:22

DaemonFC[m]

schestowitz__: Cheap IKEA furniture.

Mar 19 01:23

DaemonFC[m]

It'll probably be due to go in the trash by the next move anyway.

DaemonFC[m]: will you be willing to read with me about "SPY meters"?

schestowitz__

DaemonFC[m]: no, worse/

DaemonFC[m]

Yeah, I have one around here somewhere.

schestowitz__

"designer" furniture

DaemonFC[m]

No, I meant I buy cheap furniture.

schestowitz__

when you grossly overpay... to pretend to be "in fashion"

schestowitz__

They might offload some to us

schestowitz__

we'll see soon

DaemonFC[m]

That way if you lose it to an ex or don't want to pay movers over $1,000 you can just chuck it.

Mar 19 01:27

DaemonFC[m]

Won't cost $1,000 to replace.

Mar 19 01:27

DaemonFC[m]

Yeah, I went to Bob's Discount Furniture for the couch.

we want to reduce disruption (as happened this past 1.5 weeks)

schestowitz__

let me know if we forget to voice you

kingoffrance

np thanks

kingoffrance

was just commenting on the duke bonkers thing

kingoffrance

that duke thing, hes a trinity first year ...arguing not everything is inherently good or bad (fine, but what is purpose of a trinity then? strange coming from there) resolving contradictions, just and unjust laws -- minority is not necessarily in the "right" . true, but "resolving contradictions" reeks of everyone must synthesize into the majority view. consensus. i suppose it reeks to me of positive law versus "rule of law" which lon

Mar 19 12:49

kingoffrance

g ago was maxims "universalize the principle", which did require identifying situations to apply the apropos maxim -- but i wouldnt quite call it "consensus" -- it was consensus of the judges or jury

Mar 19 12:49

kingoffrance

i guess to me it is bonkers in the sense it scratches the surface

kingoffrance

"law"

kingoffrance

meaningless word, means nothing

kingoffrance

there are many types of law etc.

schestowitz__

laws are also subjetive

schestowitz__

they change over time

kingoffrance

'rule of law' itself, theres a few definitions too

kingoffrance

yup

schestowitz__

one of many issues with so-called 'ethical' licences

schestowitz__

whose law?

schestowitz__

sharia law?

kingoffrance

schestowitz__

can I beat up my wife?

kingoffrance

exactly

schestowitz__

if she "misbehaves"?

schestowitz__

anyway, I was not endorsing that article

schestowitz__

a friend sent it to me with a rant

kingoffrance

yeah i was agreeing bonkers

schestowitz__

that it was a bad article

kingoffrance

modern rule of law is perhaps consensus of legislature

kingoffrance

which may or may not follow "maxims"

schestowitz__

those who write the law say, "obey the law"

schestowitz__

like anti-sharing laws

schestowitz__

they mean, OBEY US!

schestowitz__

"the law"

schestowitz__

=just*i)US

kingoffrance

and historically, law perhaps was not about fairness -- that was equity. they were opposite

schestowitz__

still at present, same issue

schestowitz__

I can get in trouble with the law if I go out unmasked

kingoffrance

equity was because strict law is not necessarily best situation. but that article just kind of lumps it all togther

Mar 19 12:54

schestowitz__

kingoffrance: yeah

Mar 19 12:54

kingoffrance

in us scalia for example equated rule of law with legal -- i.e. in the proper form. but other people separate them. an example of the old style is whether public officers have immunity -- from what i read, they ignore the "persona" and look at the action, to see what "capacity" someone is acting in. a judge might act judicially, ministerially, etc. adminisrative law is perhaps not "law" proper either

Mar 19 12:58

kingoffrance

basically comes down to, judicially acting was "discretion involved". ministerially -- no discretino, just following orders

Mar 19 12:58

kingoffrance

so i would very much distinguish "administrative law" from other "law"

Mar 19 12:58

kingoffrance

i mean, a judge themself, might act different ways, and whether they have immunity depends on that capacity/action. persona does not matter

kingoffrance

capacity they are acting in depends on action i should say

kingoffrance

so "moral" or not, that very much is still used for some things. and "legal" (persona, form) is irrelevant

schestowitz__

haha, scalia

kingoffrance

another example ancient common law marriage. they acting like they are married? then assume they are

schestowitz__

who calls law schools after himse

schestowitz__

or rather

schestowitz__

they call themselves after him

kingoffrance

yeah, im very much against that legal == lawful

schestowitz__

because his sponsors like Koch Brother pay for it

schestowitz__

GOP = corporate judges and Justices

kingoffrance

that is bonkers to me. wear teh right clothes, you are "lawful" ?

schestowitz__

robes

schestowitz__

I have a robe also

kingoffrance

put on the right disguise, everything magically is blessed

kingoffrance

yup

schestowitz__

for the shower :-)

schestowitz__

we need to focus on underlying rationale for pertinent laws

schestowitz__

as much as the laws themselves

schestowitz__

and why they get passed, who pays fot it

schestowitz__

like bribed politicians

schestowitz__

would you mind proofeading with me?

schestowitz__

something related to this

schestowitz__

MSFT conflict of interest

kingoffrance

sure

schestowitz__

Just give me a few minuets

schestowitz__

to sort out layout

Mar 19 13:03

kingoffrance

other way to say that perhaps: anything not unlawful is lawful. so it appears backwards to me to say "legislature recognizes something as lawful"

Mar 19 13:12

kingoffrance

like, if legal == lawful that is where you end up IMO

Mar 19 13:12

kingoffrance

you can only do what legislature says you can, no more

Mar 19 13:12

kingoffrance

backwards

Mar 19 13:13

kingoffrance

questino of what is "default" i suppose

Mar 19 13:13

kingoffrance

that you can do something, or you can only do what is legally/formally recognized as "lawful"

Mar 19 13:14

kingoffrance

thats another reason i am against it, its like free speech zones

Mar 19 13:14

kingoffrance

instead of default, you have your little areas

Mar 19 13:14

backwards to me

schestowitz__

this series will definitely have impact

schestowitz__

typos would harm it

kingoffrance

it is true perhaps your "rights' are eventually/ultimately in practice only what some court recognizes, but that normally for "law" perhaps doesnt come into play unless/until someone is wronged. no harm, no foul. equity demands/compels performance, not law

kingoffrance

sure, will go over it

kingoffrance

or administrative law you have someone micromanaging etc.

argue for quasi-property then, dont try to hoodwink ppl

theres a line maybe of lawyer talk and normal person, but yeah

"piracy"

kingoffrance

yup

schestowitz__

they already made labels for us

kingoffrance

piracy is someone without a flag

kingoffrance

thats what trying to pass of IP as property is

kingoffrance

masquerade

schestowitz__

schestowitz__

they're "PROTECTING"

schestowitz__

who?

schestowitz__

Themselves

schestowitz__

not actual producers/artists

schestowitz__

"music industry"

schestowitz__

maybe "recording industry"

schestowitz__

some people pick up their own words

schestowitz__

we try to avoid that

schestowitz__

rename things

schestowitz__

I'm writing a little poem

schestowitz__

at the moment... about privacy

kingoffrance

if you go by ancient rule of law is "universalize the principle" then they broke "backwards compat" with IP i.e. it is opposite of "rule of law" for that definition of "rule of law"

schestowitz__

maybe another day piracy will do, too

schestowitz__

it's satirical

schestowitz__

law of RULE

kingoffrance

thats not wrong

kingoffrance

thats scalias formalism

kingoffrance

rules > "universalize the principle" maxims whatever

schestowitz__

we win some battled

schestowitz__

*battles

kingoffrance

legislature has abiltiy to override case law or whatever

schestowitz__

we have the numbers

schestowitz__

I loathe is when people interject OT BS

schestowitz__

like calling whistleblowers

schestowitz__

"womaniser"

schestowitz__

"pervert"

schestowitz__

"rapist"

schestowitz__

"transphobic"

schestowitz__

'fascist"

schestowitz__

"commie"

schestowitz__

all those labels

schestowitz__

sometimes based on little or no evidence

kingoffrance

which again if someone wants to say legislature shoudl be able to override things, thats fine, call it nullification powers -- what it is

schestowitz__

or association

schestowitz__

that's one method to watch out for

schestowitz__

it's also why this channel entered another mode

and making up law

kingoffrance

a lawyer got mad at me for quoting that lol

schestowitz__

schestowitz__

it's insane what goes on at EPO... INSANE

schestowitz__

and this used to be a TOP European employer

schestowitz__

once of the best Europe-wide

schestowitz__

lol, repeal laws

schestowitz__

bear in mind

schestowitz__

also every law does not safeguard anything

schestowitz__

but bans something

schestowitz__

more laws means more tings to get in trouble for

schestowitz__

inc. for violation other people's rights

schestowitz__

but those are rare laws

schestowitz__

more laws are reactionary, a reaction to something that pisses off the status quo

schestowitz__

or oligarchy

they get richer not for brilliance

but for defining the rules

kingoffrance

yeah, not defending that, just "universalizing"

Mar 19 14:51

kingoffrance

tries/tried. that is a stated thing, not saying they always follow that either i dont follow modern stuff at all

Mar 19 14:51

kingoffrance

you get to the poitn of "can legislature just make up words or not?"

Mar 19 14:51

kingoffrance

or must there be some level of back-compat

Mar 19 14:52

kingoffrance

they they shouldnt cross

Mar 19 14:52

kingoffrance

for 100% formalism they can redefine any word they want for particular piece of legislation

Mar 19 14:52

kingoffrance

but thats quite opposite of "universalize the principle" you see

Mar 19 14:53

kingoffrance

you get a maze of a 1000 pieces of legislation, slightly different

Mar 19 14:53

kingoffrance

You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Mar 19 14:53

kingoffrance

its like bill clinton "depends on definition of is" james clapper "collect it all doesnt mean collect it all" thats where pure formalism leads -- legislation can redefine words

Mar 19 15:00

kingoffrance

thats why i consider it madness, opposite of dry

Mar 19 15:02

kingoffrance

Mar 19 15:02

full of gotos for definitions

Because you will notice the bouncing around more than even a low and stable frame rate.

DaemonFC[m]

Linux has become the glue that holds modern computing together and Windows is turning into an also-ran. Torvalds took an indirect swipe at Windows without naming it the other day.

Mar 19 18:54

DaemonFC[m]

The new Exception Handling proposals for x86.

Mar 19 18:54

DaemonFC[m]

He mentioned Intel's is the better proposal if x86-64 is going to have much of a future.

Mar 19 18:54

DaemonFC[m]

He said AMD's is just a really conservative "fix the obvious bugs that exist in the current setup" proposal and it "works around really nasty hacks" that are currently present in operating system software, but AMD's is "better for legacy operating systems that you really don't want to change all that much".

Mar 19 18:55

DaemonFC[m]

But, regardless, the article itself continued that "it will be a few years before anything ships with any of the new proposals in place and operating systems will continue to have to support the current exception handling for well over a decade past that".

Mar 19 18:57

DaemonFC[m]

But with the Torvalds quote about AMD catering more to legacy operating systems that can't be changed too much, everyone knows what he was referring to.

Mar 19 18:57

DaemonFC[m]

The most "legacy" you get on Linux is a distribution that is supported for 10 or 15 years and then the next version is really quite different, and you may have to run the old one in a VM for a while until you can migrate things over if you still aren't ready.

Mar 19 18:58

DaemonFC[m]

But the core of Windows hasn't changed a whole lot since 2006.

Mar 19 18:58

DaemonFC[m]

Even with many major versions, that's really been the stuff they pushed out of the Windows kernel in 2006 that changes.

Mar 19 18:59

DaemonFC[m]

They won't even commit to a strict date for removing certain parts of the Windows Driver Model that was common to Windows 98 and Windows 2000.

Mar 19 19:00

DaemonFC[m]

They say "It's obsolete and we'll remove it eventually. Don't write anything new that depends on it.".

Mar 19 19:00

*mmu_man has quit (Quit: Lost terminal)

Mar 19 19:00

DaemonFC[m]

What is that doing in there? It's a pile of code that they can't properly maintain and it's not even gone yet, 23 years later.

Mar 19 19:01

DaemonFC[m]

Until they get rid of that, they can't guarantee that nothing will install a driver that doesn't need the interrupt and exception handling from x86 as it was in the 90s....in Windows 10 builds that are out now.

Mar 19 19:02

DaemonFC[m]

And even after it's gone, they still have the version of WDM that shipped in XP, and that's not even flagged for removal.

Mar 19 19:02

DaemonFC[m]

So that only brings us to 2001. They have no plan to get rid of 32-bit Windows and clean up the mess.

Mar 19 19:02

MinceR

you will like more those "legacy" Linux versions as microshit and their puppets drive Linux into the ground

Mar 19 19:03

DaemonFC[m]

If they tossed the 32-bit version of Windows, they could do a big code cleanup in the core. None of that is particularly relevant to the 64-bit builds anyway because there really wasn't a 64-bit Windows XP.

Mar 19 19:04

DaemonFC[m]

There was something calling itself that, but it was a variant of Server 2003 that was never widely rolled out.

Mar 19 19:04

DaemonFC[m]

Microsoft leaking source code is nothing new.

Mar 19 19:05

DaemonFC[m]

Most of the source for Windows is floating out there now where people can get entire copies of it for XP and most of it for Vista, 7, 8, and 10.

Mar 19 19:05

DaemonFC[m]

They're not actually hiding anything. They just have their lawyers get ahold of Google so you can't type in Windows source code torrent and see it there.

Security by obscurity doesn't actually work. They're trying to clean up a public relations mess.

Mar 19 19:09

they never cared if their "security" worked

DaemonFC[m]

It doesn't appear on Google, but the bad guys know where to look. The vulnerabilities in Windows are not fixed, but the lawyers shut down one particular botnet.

MinceR

they just wanted the average consumer that whatever this "security" thing is, microshit products surely have it

MinceR

s/mer/mer to believe/

DaemonFC[m]

No, they don't. The fact that it's happening several times a month where there are 10 or so 0days being burned in Windows, Exchange, and other products to keep malware rolling, and they don't care if they burn that many because they sit on more, should say it all.

Mar 19 19:11

MinceR

it also turned out to be a good excuse for locking people out of their own computers

Mar 19 19:11

MinceR

and they (along with others) even managed to rebrand DRM as "security"

Mar 19 19:11

DaemonFC[m]

Well, MinceR I'm running into a problem with Brave now whre my bank says please try with a different web browser.

DaemonFC[m]

So you come back in Microsoft Edge, which is exactly the same engine, and it lets you in.

MinceR

banks don't want you to use their sites securely

DaemonFC[m]

Now, Brave just identifies as Chrome now, so there's something else going on here.

MinceR

they want you to use what's "trendy"

Mar 19 19:13

MinceR

presumably crashium has some new bullshit API that brave doesn't have yet, or the bank is using some insecure shit that's been disabled or removed to check what browser you're using

Mar 19 19:13

DaemonFC[m]

MinceR: I did a UA override for "Chrome on Windows" and the bank let me right in using Brave just now.

Mar 19 19:16

DaemonFC[m]

Mar 19 19:16

DaemonFC[m]

The part where Lance Henriksen jumps out into the hallway and shouts "HEY!" at it before shooting it....

Mar 19 19:40

DaemonFC[m]

That's the part I hate. Like, you have something in there that's killed dozens of cops and seems to not be going down no matter how many times it's shot.

Mar 19 19:40

DaemonFC[m]

Even if you surmise that it's a guy with a lot of body armor on, why would you jump out fully exposed and shout "HEY!"?

Mar 19 19:41

DaemonFC[m]

Wouldn't a better idea be to lean out while it's walking away and try to shoot "him" in the legs or something?

Mar 19 19:41

DaemonFC[m]

If you can disable him so he doesn't kill more people then that's what you do if you think it's a guy in body armor and you can't guarantee a good shot at his head.

DaemonFC[m]

<MinceR "sure, if i had a death wish"> It stands to reason that if it's a machine designed to kill humans it should be able to hear many times better than a human and well into frequency ranges that would be inaudible to us. Why not?

Mar 19 19:44

DaemonFC[m]

At the end, Reese turns on a whole bunch of machines at a factory to create so much noise that the Terminator can't separate theirs out and figure out where they are.

Mar 19 19:45

DaemonFC[m]

But then Sarah just happens to lean on a console and push a big red button, and a press comes down and goes "WHAM!".

So I'm like, "You could have done the same thing by putting a can of regular tomatoes and a can of regular tomato sauce in there and then not salting it further.".

Not very impressive. So I skipped that one.

And the NSA tomatoes cost twice as much!

If you're happy to just skip putting a teaspoon of salt in the recipe to account for using regular tomatoes, you save $2.

I can see using some no salt tomatoes if it calls for a ton of other ingredients that are high in salt and you want to free up some room.

They try to push a lot of stuff on you as reduced sodium when it still has a ton of salt. What they meant was 30% less than the one they salted the crap out of even worse.

They charged twice as much as the cheap bacon for reduced sodium bacon with 30% less sodium than "the average national brand".

So I looked, and of course the serving size was different and the cheapest bacon on the shelf actually had less salt if you adjusted for the serving sizes and I couldn't find the "national brand" that had 30% more salt than the reduced sodium.

DaemonFC[m]

So I'm calling that one an outright lie.
