[00:11]	baronhk[m]1	Betting against Walmart is a bad investment.
[00:12]	baronhk[m]1	The US is circling the toilet due to the two-party system and severe fiscal mismanagement, and that benefits Walmart because more people have to do most of their shopping there for the prices.

[00:15]	baronhk[m]1	Not letting staff wear masks
[00:15]	baronhk[m]1	18 May 2021
[00:15]	baronhk[m]1	Rep. Doug Lamborn is being sued by a former staffer for compelling his staff to risk infection with Covid-19 by not letting them wear masks when together in the office.
[00:15]	baronhk[m]1	-Richard Stallmen
[00:15]	baronhk[m]1	Well, you obviously risk infection whether you wear one or not.
[00:15]	baronhk[m]1	I think the worst day on record was January 26th in the US, with 468,000 new confirmed cases.
[00:15]	baronhk[m]1	Something like that.
[00:15]	baronhk[m]1	Most states had strict mask requirements at the time.
[00:16]	baronhk[m]1	The comparison between condoms vs. bareback sex is inappropriate with COVID and masks.
[00:16]	baronhk[m]1	With safer sex, right, you cut your risk 90-95% with a condom.
[00:17]	baronhk[m]1	With a face mask and COVID, you're not cutting your risk much at all. In fact, Illinois and New York had severe lockdowns and mask mandates, and fared worse, per capita, than Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
[00:17]	baronhk[m]1	About the only red state that did do worse per capita than Illinois was South Dakota, and not by a lot.
[00:23]	superkuh	baronhk[m], masks is not a word that means anything. For masks to work against an aerosol spread virus they have to be fit to the face. Most people do not wear effective masks.
[00:24]	superkuh	If everyone was wearing fit N95 you certainly would see a difference. Additionally, consider population density.

[00:31]	baronhk[m]1	Doesn't hold.
[00:32]	baronhk[m]1	The reason it's spreading like wildfire in the cities is because the liberals built up a disgusting mass transit setup that packs people in without an inch to spare.

[00:32]	baronhk[m]1	You literally have to step out of the train car to let people out at their stop.
[00:33]	baronhk[m]1	You can't cramp 55 people in a space meant for 26 and not expect extreme spread. If people were using their personal vehicles or the city sanitized what it ran and ran more cars to accommodate passenger load, this would slow down a lot.

[00:51]	superkuh	I don't see that reasoning as mutually exclusive or even separate from my comment re: population density.
[00:51]	superkuh	But yeah, individual transit makes sense.

[05:53]	alextee[m]	not sure if this is legit
[05:53]	baronhk[m]1	Somehow, only white-owners get their applications approved by the state.
[05:53]	baronhk[m]1	The whole point of legalization was to take the business away from the blacks and then sell them pot so the money would go to white people instead.
[05:53]	baronhk[m]1	Now they don't even have the drug business.
[05:54]	baronhk[m]1	They never seem to realize that the longer the Democrats have the state, the worse things get for them.
[05:55]	schestowitz__	[05:52] <alextee[m]> is there any way to view gemini files with firefox?
[05:55]	baronhk[m]1	Also, the state is arranging to approve some applications on the same day so that at the time they're approved, there's no dispensary within 1,500 feet of an existing one.
[05:55]	schestowitz__	there are extensions
[05:55]	schestowitz__	I use one too
[05:55]	baronhk[m]1	(Someone got bribed.)
[05:56]	schestowitz__	but it just relays to a proxy, nothing fancy
[05:56]	alextee[m]	schestowitz__: geminize?
[05:56]	schestowitz__	the one with a gateway, maybe that's the one
[05:56]	baronhk[m]1	"There is concern that because of the 1,500-foot rule, minority groups, once they do obtain licenses, will be shut out of the best locations."
[05:56]	schestowitz__	very off-topic, baronhk[m]1

[05:57]	alextee[m]	hmm looks like geminize goes through portal.mozz.us
[05:58]	baronhk[m]1	There's about as much diversity going on here as there is in Big Tech.
[05:58]	baronhk[m]1	They talk about it and then oddly there's no actual examples of them doing anything to help minorities, or even hire them to do anything.

[05:59]	schestowitz__	alextee[m]: ok, so that's the one
● May 19
[06:00]	schestowitz__	baronhk[m]1: here as in this channel?
[06:00]	baronhk[m]1	schestowitz__: I was just discussing feudal security on Facebook with someone who suggested that the ability to install application packages locally on an iPhone isn't necessary because it's something only a "small amount" of "super nerdy" people would even care about.
[06:00]	schestowitz__	I think we're a lot more "diverse", however you measure it, than "tech" companies in the West
[06:00]	schestowitz__	in the east there's not much "diversity" in populations in general
[06:01]	schestowitz__	you won't find many non-Chinese working in China for instance...
[06:01]	baronhk[m]1	That's almost as bad as the time I was speaking to someone about the same issue and he says only people who want to do illegal stuff with their computer want to sideload applications.
[06:01]	baronhk[m]1	I don't remember when we started saying sideload install of install program in regards to a PC.
[06:01]	baronhk[m]1	*instead of
[06:02]	kingoffrance	yeah, and only criminals want cash
[06:02]	baronhk[m]1	It's something that feels unnatural because it's something Microsoft hasn't gotten any acceptance of at all because the Windows store is full of junk and the occasional crippled version of a real application.
[06:02]	baronhk[m]1	If they ever managed to work past this, they could be as dangerous as Apple.
[06:02]	techrights-bot	So our Pry Minister truly alienates the #nhs which he has been seeking to destroy (crush and privatise) anyway. #tories #uk #sociopath #sabotage
[06:02]	baronhk[m]1	The reason it's full of junk is because they want too much of a "cut" from developers for not doing a hell of a lot.

[06:03]	kingoffrance	i would lump all that into the privacy gets criminalized for the majority, kept for the important ppl (and snowden and/or greenwald IIRC said something like this)
[06:03]	baronhk[m]1	And finally a decade in, they seem to get it and changed it from 30% to 12% in a last ditch effort to save the Store.
[06:03]	kingoffrance	only criminals want a computer
[06:03]	kingoffrance	good law abiding ppl use appliances
[06:03]	techrights-bot	#chelsea is winning all the 'wrong' games. No cups... don't think they'll have any this month.
[06:04]	baronhk[m]1	It's really a stunning display of ignorance that's going on with people today. Worse than ever.
[06:04]	baronhk[m]1	Even 20 years ago when there was virtually no uptake of open source at all, you wanted to share a program, you shared it.
[06:04]	kingoffrance	well even non tech savvy in the least...you realize this is giving total power away to strangers?
[06:04]	baronhk[m]1	If it had DRM, you cracked the DRM. You did whatever you wanted. They're trying to close that frontier and impose pay to play on everything.
[06:04]	kingoffrance	its dumb in any situation.  what abuot "dont put all your eggs in one basket" ?  
[06:05]	baronhk[m]1	Then they can name their own price and it'll be outrageous of course, but there's nothing you can do.
[06:05]	kingoffrance	yeah that too. thats how you get gauging
[06:05]	kingoffrance	*gouging
[06:06]	baronhk[m]1	Of course Apple doesn't think I should be able to do whatever I want, but I do.
[06:06]	baronhk[m]1	So I don't have any of their products.
[06:06]	techrights-bot	#guardian 'celebrates' 200 years, but 10 years ago (or a little more) it sold itself to #billgates and others. #bribery with funding from oligarchs has been their modus operadi after 190 years. Screw them...
[06:06]	baronhk[m]1	Backfired. They lost 100% on me.
[06:07]	baronhk[m]1	But there's enough people who give into it and accept their bullshit and their language and their rationale.
[06:09]	baronhk[m]1	schestowitz__: No, I was talking about the marijuana business not being diverse but it's absolutely brimming with white hipsters who would say they're liberals.
[06:09]	baronhk[m]1	It's very much like a mjg59 at Google thing going on here.

[15:01]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.ksat.com | A slap in the face: Unemployed San Antonians weigh in after Gov. Abbott opts out of extra $300 per week
[15:02]	baronhk[m]1	Maybe had they not bragged about not having to look for work because the unemployment money was so good....
[15:02]	baronhk[m]1	People generally don't like it when they have to go to work and don't qualify for any programs, yet are being taxed so their neighbor can game the system and boast to the local news about what they're doing.
[15:06]	baronhk[m]1	It's been a year and a half, there's record job openings. People just don't take them because unemployment pays hundreds of dollars more per week to do nothing. So why wouldn't this guy goof off?
[15:06]	baronhk[m]1	He admits in the article that since he heard the extra $300 a week is ending, he's applying for lots of jobs again.
[15:07]	baronhk[m]1	It was never a question of if it would stop, but when. Like, how many months. People were treating this like it would go on forever and they'd just start looking for work the moment it ended, and then they got surprised.
[15:08]	baronhk[m]1	In my experience, few people think beyond a week or two.

[15:25]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.businessinsider.com | Bill Gates' Nerdy Do-Gooder Image Destroyed by Divorce Revelations
[15:25]	baronhk[m]1	Gates "pledged to give away half his wealth". Since then, it grew by another $40 billion dollars.
[15:25]	baronhk[m]1	Funny how that works.
[15:26]	baronhk[m]1	Maybe he meant in the divorce decree.
[15:27]	baronhk[m]1	"trawling the workplace for dates"
[15:27]	baronhk[m]1	Meaning, "Vicious sexual predator who went after women who needed to keep their jobs.".
[15:30]	baronhk[m]1	Microsoft was rife with sexual harassment against women for decades, says Insider.
[15:30]	baronhk[m]1	mjg59 should pick up on this instead of attacking only people in the open source community.
[15:31]	baronhk[m]1	It's strange how quiet he's been. No petitions to cancel the sex predators at Microsoft from Gates on down the line.
[15:33]	baronhk[m]1	The only people coming to Gates's defense are his spokespeople and attorneys.
[15:33]	baronhk[m]1	That's never a good thing when you're trying to defend yourself in the public sphere.
[15:36]	baronhk[m]1	When something gets to unacceptable conduct, in my opinion, is after someone has made it clear there's no interest and someone persists or insists.
[15:36]	baronhk[m]1	Workplace harassment is so broad that it's better to not even try to get with people there. You could lose your job or be exposed criminally. Money bought Gates decades of just getting away with it and there's no telling what we don't know due to NDAs, which are a favorite tool of rich abusers.
[15:39]	baronhk[m]1	I give you a million dollars, you never mention that time I tried to rape you. If you do, I sue you to get it back and you look like a high end hooker who just wanted more.
[15:39]	baronhk[m]1	This is the worst of game that rich people play.
[15:40]	baronhk[m]1	Stops then from going to the police too. Usually.

[23:26]	CrystalMath	oh?
[23:26]	schestowitz__	does it makes sense to have a channel in both networks as interim thing and, if so, has anyone done thing already?
[23:26]	baronhk[m]1	Oh, I have a meeting in half an hour.

[23:40]	baronhk[m]1	Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the primary of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
[23:40]	MinceR	lol
[23:40]	MinceR	is this the woke version of the bible?
[23:42]	baronhk[m]1	mjg59 and friends were ignoring the stuff going on in the Gates Mansion.

[23:54]	CrystalMath	did you have any questions for him about the thing that has happening?
[23:54]	CrystalMath	*was
[23:54]	baronhk[m]1	It's more than likely that Gates was meeting up with Epstein to arrange access to children.
[23:55]	techrights-bot	#InterDigital is a very malicious notorious #patenttroll that sucks up others' #patents just for the same of blackmailing companies https://www.juve-patent.com/news-and-stories/cases/post-asi-battle-interdigital-sues-xiaomi-for-patent-infringement-in-munich/
[23:55]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.juve-patent.com | Post-ASI battle: InterDigital sues Xiaomi for patent infringement in Munich - JUVE Patent
[23:55]	baronhk[m]1	But since Epstein is dead and they were smart enough to speak in person and not over some sort of electronic means, there will likely never be any evidence of that.
[23:56]	techrights-bot	It's not difficult to see that some of the litigation/harassment firms that represent (get paid by) patent trolls are also most prominent in Team UPC. That says a lot about who stands to gain from such a corrupt and illegal proposal.
[23:56]	baronhk[m]1	Epstein and Gates have fueled the QAnon conspiracy theories because they actually were incredibly wealthy and influential, and both very connected to the major parties, but especially Democrats.
