[00:06]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, "America's high standard of living combined with its permanent threat of unemployment is enough to make any man's life miserable." Google captioned this "permanent threat of UN employment".
[00:06]	IsambardPrince	:D
[00:06]	IsambardPrince	Their captioning of the Battle of Endor was the best one ever.
[00:06]	IsambardPrince	:D
[00:08]	MinceR	lol
[00:08]	MinceR	how did they caption that?
[00:08]	IsambardPrince	"In no country where the standard of living is as high are jobs so tenuous, in no other country where the unemployment rate is comparable are the demands made by the standard of living so high"
[00:08]	IsambardPrince	You know, for a woman born in Argentina who became German, this woman knew a lot about America.
[00:10]	MinceR	i mean, the Battle of Endor
[00:10]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Oh right.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Esther Vilar,
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Oops.

[00:11]	TR Bot	https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=xPZigWFyK2o
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Turn on captions and watch it.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	oh crap! pretty bad to jump into hyperspace!
[00:12]	TR Bot	( status 404 @ https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=xPZigWFyK2o )
[00:12]	MinceR	we'll see if Linux shits itself because i'm trying to watch a video
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	How could they be cheering us if they don't know we're coming!
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	:D
[00:15]	MinceR	:D
[00:18]	IsambardPrince	Sure, in a minute! But now, come on handle, but it don't let me down! The shield is down! Kotaku!
[00:21]	IsambardPrince	"Sir, we've lost our bridge deflector shield!" "Intensify the forward batteries, I don't want anything to get through! INTENSIFY FORWARD FIREPOWER!" "Too late!" "AAAAAHHHHHH!"
[00:21]	IsambardPrince	No mistake, just a good scene.
[00:21]	IsambardPrince	Just a really good scene.
[00:23]	IsambardPrince	"Who's the freak away from the desktop!" -Admiral Ackbar.
[00:23]	IsambardPrince	:D
[00:23]	IsambardPrince	Apparently he got a job as a manager at Wells Fargo halfway into the battle.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	In America, a man's salary is a yardstick of his self-worth. America is the only place on Earth where a badly paid professor is a bad professor and a poorly paid writer is a bad writer. For the Latin American Male, masculinity is still associated primarily with sexual potency, for the American male, however, the association is directly with money."
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	Well that explains a lot.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	That probably explains why Latin American men are always trying to have sex with someone and it doesn't much matter who it is.
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	It doesn't matter as much if you're broke, most of them are broke. What matters is you are virile and able to attract more sex partners than the other men.
[00:35]	MinceR	also explains why merkins are going stupider and crazier every year
[00:35]	MinceR	and why they lead the world in worshipping the craziest sociopaths they can find
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	If you think about it, what other system could there be for men to compete in Communist countries like Cuba or Venezuela, or poverty stricken ones like Mexico or Argentina?
[00:36]	MinceR	i thought they weren't supposed to even want to compete?
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	Every society has its hypocrisies. In America, people are taught that you need to revere God, but also that money is your God.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	In LatAm countries, you're taught that nothing is more important than your family, while meanwhile you have as many women on the side as possible or you're not very manly.
[00:38]	MinceR	:>
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	When John Carpenter did They Live! and the guy puts on the sunglasses, and money is just a blank piece of paper that said THIS IS YOUR GOD, I laughed.
[00:40]	IsambardPrince	"An American man only knows that happiness comes through a woman, and women are expensive. As a young man, he pays in advance, as an older man he pays in installments, and as a corpse he is cashed in for a fortune."
[00:41]	IsambardPrince	Earlier on she mentioned the habit of women taking out huge life insurance policies on men which just means when you finally die after a lifetime in slavery to them, they become even wealthier, to the point where they don't even need to replace you.
[00:41]	IsambardPrince	Like Maricel took out a huge life insurance policy on Mark.
[00:42]	IsambardPrince	When he has a heart attack from trying to pay her credit cards, mortgages, and car payments, she'll get a check for over a million dollars, and use part of it to pay off all the debt she killed him with, with plenty left over.
[00:42]	IsambardPrince	And she'll have the house and stuff he worked for, which killed jim.
[00:42]	IsambardPrince	*him
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	The only thing a woman knows how to do well is burrow and spend money.
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	She'll throw him in the cold, cold ground and then fail to control her tear ducts for a while for sympathy, then cash him out.
[00:46]	IsambardPrince	"51% of American men believe that the situation for white American women is as bad as it is for black American men." Oh my.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	White American women have the lowest poverty rate of any group in the nation.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	They are less than 1% of death row inmates.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	In fact, the federal government has only killed 3 of them since 1974, and two were under Donald Trump.
[00:48]	IsambardPrince	And we all know why. If anyone heard that the execution of a white woman was botched and she was flopping around screaming for help, the death sentence would be gone by noon tomorrow.
[00:49]	IsambardPrince	Men are disposable. Black men are 50 times more disposable than white men.
[00:49]	IsambardPrince	Society has made the decision, there's no sense yelling at me about it.
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	Society assumes that white men have to work, it assumes that black men do no work and live on the wrong side of the ledger anyway.
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	So if one gets accused of a death sentence offense, then they're more likely to receive it.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	One of the leading causes of homophobia is a rejection of men who don't place high priority on slaving away for women, or consumerism.
[00:52]	nobody	how's this related to homophobia?
[00:52]	IsambardPrince	The reason why the American Express Gold Card has 33% more interest and the annual fee is more than triple while it generates half the value in rewards points, is women will choose it because it's gold and made of metal and the advertising is designed to look elegant.
[00:53]	IsambardPrince	The Blue Cash Preferred generates twice as many points in practical categories, with a relatively humble fee, and is blue.
[00:53]	nobody	IsambardPrince: yet yow's this related to homophobia?
[00:53]	IsambardPrince	It emphasizes a Centurion.
[00:53]	IsambardPrince	The advertising is done to men.
[00:54]	IsambardPrince	nobody, A rejection of women, who are the main reason men need money, is frowned upon.
[00:54]	IsambardPrince	It's not the act of gay sex in particular.
[00:54]	IsambardPrince	If men started pairing up in droves, the economy would crash.
[00:54]	IsambardPrince	Our needs are modest.
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	When you get a woman and a man, the woman will spend like a drunken sailor and force the man to work two jobs to pay for it.
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	She will produce children, and force the man to pay to create two more future workers. 
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	All of this is good for the business cycle.
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	When two men get together, at almost any income level, savings rate increases, consumption is limited, there are no children.
[00:56]	IsambardPrince	This is bad for business. The only way business benefits is that the men have fewer "distractions", but they lose control because the men don't need the money as badly.
[00:57]	nobody	busiess is a little unspecific, and confusing productivity with consumption
[00:57]	IsambardPrince	Productivity and consumption are connected, albeit not directly.
[00:57]	nobody	if many children were good for business, india and africa would be richest continents, followed by afghanistan
[00:57]	IsambardPrince	The economy always values producing more trash than any rational society would even know what to do with.
[00:58]	IsambardPrince	You earn the salary producing garbage then women buy the garbage, and you have to go produce more garbage to pay for that garbage.
[00:58]	IsambardPrince	nobody, India and Africa are corrupt and poverty stricken.
[00:58]	IsambardPrince	When you FLOOD the system with kids, most of them starve.
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	Or die of disease.
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	Everyone is poor.
[00:59]	nobody	EU is corrupt too
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	Industrial society needs 2.1 children per couple.
[00:59]	nobody	population in germany almost doubled since WW2
● Feb 20
[01:00]	nobody	economy could flourish with half of that
[01:00]	IsambardPrince	The United States produces 1.4 children per couple. The government here is racist and trying to deport young workers who came in to pay for my parents to be on Social Security.
[01:00]	IsambardPrince	So we will now get a population crash and an aging crisis.
[01:00]	nobody	i don't think so
[01:00]	nobody	USA population size increases, significantly
[01:00]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, my parents voted for that. 
[01:01]	IsambardPrince	The population in the US only rises due to immigration. Without immigration, it collapses.
[01:01]	IsambardPrince	My parents are too short-sighted to see that they'll probably live to see the destruction they have caused.
[01:02]	IsambardPrince	They're not immune from Trump. If they get a 30% Social Security cut, then that won't be comfortable obviously.
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	If he was targeting criminals, then that would be good. Everyone wants them out of here as fast as possible. But this is indiscriminate and stupid,.
[01:03]	nobody	alot of crime is produced domestically
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	Because, to my parents, anyone brown is a criminal and rapes kids.
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	That's what Fox "News" tells them. That and their stupid cell phone. They turned into my grandmother. They close themselves in and watch this shit while their brains turn into jello.

[01:17]	TR Bot	 thoughts on Daylight Computer :: up & to the right
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	<nobody> alot of crime is produced domestically
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	Yes, because of a lack of education, mental healthcare, and employment opportunities mainly, and unrestricted gun access.
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	They lead you to a mental breakdown and then sell you a gun. That's why there's so many shootings in this country.
[01:19]	nobody	in germany it's corruption, murderous corruption, that produced domestic terror
[01:20]	nobody	we've got social security for immigrants, their children sent to school, highly paid industrial jobs
[01:21]	nobody	and, within cities, foreigners/immigrants are the overwhelming majority often, 90% round about
[01:21]	nobody	anyway, i've just had my dosage of anger again; usual routine, while i'm sleeping, speeding cars and noise for a few hours
[01:22]	nobody	some police and emergency sirens, and then it's silent
[01:22]	nobody	almost as if this was coordinated
[01:23]	nobody	yesterday i've received my electricity bill, that's typically the moment when some realize either they pay or they got disconnected from the grid
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, One way women go through more money.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	My mom as a small example here.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	Me: This vacuum reeks. Hmm, I can get 10 filters for it from China for the price of one that says "Shark".
[01:24]	nobody	wouldn't suprise me if some new arrivals of immigrants expected the typical energy prizing of their countries of origin
[01:24]	nobody	and then "renewable energy carbon tax" hits them
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	Mom: This $400 Kirby vacuum cleaner mother gave me stinks. I won't find out what's wrong with it. <name of my brother>!!! Set this out on the curb and put a "FREE" sign on it. I'd better go buy a vacuum.
[01:25]	nobody	i don't know, can't ask all of them, but whenever speeding and noise boil up, they're celebrating something
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	Oh that's an easy one here.
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	Mexican Independence Day
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	They fire guns into the air, set off illegal fireworks, lots of muffler noise, littering, traffic jams.
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	You know, a celebration.

[01:26]	IsambardPrince	Of the independence of a country they're not even in.
[01:27]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, It wasn't really a tall ask, I suppose, for Mandy to swear an oath of loyalty to the United States, and renounce loyalty to the Philippines.
[01:27]	IsambardPrince	What did Duterte do for his citizens? The ones that didn't get disappeared or have to eat out of the trash, I mean.
[01:27]	nobody	in germany it's not mexicans; we've got palestinians, lebanese, turks, moroccans, iraquis, iranians

[01:28]	nobody	it's not their brownish taint IsambardPrince, it's their different culture
[01:28]	IsambardPrince	The United States has been better to him than his own country. That's not difficult, but it is true.
[01:28]	IsambardPrince	By leaps and bounds.
[01:28]	IsambardPrince	So there's no reason to ever want to go back honestly.
[01:28]	nobody	and it's not immigration, it's an invasion
[01:28]	IsambardPrince	His whole family that was there died.
[01:29]	MinceR	the nazis might create a reason yet
[01:29]	IsambardPrince	His sister may have even poisoned them all. We don't know.
[01:29]	MinceR	of the "if you don't leave we'll kill you" kind.
[01:29]	IsambardPrince	I would not put it past her.

[01:29]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, As far as I know they're not killing them, they're putting them on a plane to their own country, or bullying Panama into taking them.
[01:30]	MinceR	yet.
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	It may not get to that point.
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	Removing them is unlikely to cause any pushback from the public.
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	Killing them would.
[01:31]	admfubar	https://xkcd.com/3053/
[01:31]	TR Bot	KM3NeT
[01:31]	IsambardPrince	As long as they can remove several thousand of them per day, they may be satisfied.
[01:31]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, It's easier to do the thing the public basically agrees with.
[01:31]	IsambardPrince	For now that's just "send them elsewhere".
[01:31]	MinceR	the public is being manipulated
[01:32]	MinceR	that's how you ended up with orange mussolini in the first place.
[01:33]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Thought about test driving a cybertruck and using it to pull down the Italo Balbo monument.
[01:33]	IsambardPrince	It was just a thought.
[01:33]	MinceR	who's italo balbo?
[01:33]	IsambardPrince	I don't particularly like the cybertruck. It's got a lot of torque though.
[01:33]	MinceR	when it managed to move at all, that is
[01:33]	MinceR	s/ged/ges/
[01:34]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, An Italian Blackshirt that gave the city of Chicago a Roman column.
[01:34]	IsambardPrince	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balbo_Monument
[01:34]	TR Bot	 Balbo Monument - Wikipedia
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The city refuses to take this down.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	I think it would be great if someone toppled it.
[01:35]	MinceR	indeed
[01:38]	IsambardPrince	It may actually make the news. I'm sure whoever did it would be arrested however.
[01:39]	IsambardPrince	"Chicago Man topples Roman Column. Burns fascist's name off monument with thermite."
[01:39]	IsambardPrince	It would be a different headline than usual.
[01:42]	IsambardPrince	More proof that AmEx designed the gold card to appeal to women other than being gold colored and metal.
[01:42]	IsambardPrince	The Resy app only works on iPhones. Men don't tend to use those as much because they cost too much.
[01:43]	MinceR	and because they're shit
[01:43]	IsambardPrince	Women buy them because they're simpler and they "look nice".
[01:43]	IsambardPrince	yeah, so right away I would have no way to get the resy credit.
[01:43]	IsambardPrince	Unless I asked Mandy to install it.
[01:44]	IsambardPrince	I suppose Breaking Bad has the dynamic portrayed in The Manipulated Man.
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	Walter White works hard to build his drug empire, his wife finds out, says she's shocked, shocked and horrified, then steals the money he was going to leave his family after he dies of cancer, to hide the tax frauds committed by the man she's sleeping with on the side.
[01:46]	IsambardPrince	Instead of going to the police, or becoming complicit and helping her husband in his endeavors, she uses his hard work to further her own corruption and try to fix a man that is so deeply flawed that nobody in their right mind, only a woman, would want him.
[01:47]	IsambardPrince	All of the Breaking Bad fandom hates Skyler White, and they should. But most of them don't realize, she's portraying the part of a woman pretty well.
[01:49]	IsambardPrince	Walter's behavior as a drug manufacturer can at least be rationalized. People will find and use drugs. He might as well be the one who makes the money. But Skyler betrays and hurts her entire family, and throws what Walt is doing for them away to do what she thinks will make herself happy.
[01:50]	IsambardPrince	When Ted (the guy who has the tax fraud and Skyler is cheating with) trips over the rug, breaks his neck, and ends up being paralyzed for the rest of his life, I admit I enjoyed that scene. That's what should have happened to Brian, my mom's ex-husband.
[01:56]	nobody	i've quit smoking again, took a little while to reduce this down to zero

● Feb 20
[02:03]	nobody	gentoo is annoying, whenever you pulled in stuff into an overlay, this must by synced/merged manually
[02:03]	nobody	and i had to fork almost everything for tinycc/static-linking/linux2-abi
[02:04]	nobody	for the sake of it, i'm reviewing those ~500 builds if anyting needs an update
[02:04]	IsambardPrince	https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/new-ice-data-shows-administration-isnt-just-arresting-criminals-rcna192656
[02:04]	TR Bot	 New ICE data shows administration isnt just arresting criminals
[02:05]	nobody	seems not much has changed in recent 3 years, which was the last time i synced portage tree
[02:05]	IsambardPrince	"The Trump administration has promised to prioritize the worst first when it comes to arrests and deportations, but the number of detainees in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody without a criminal conviction or pending criminal charges increased by more than 1,800 in the first two weeks of February, representing 41% of the 4,422 total new detainees in that period, according to new data obtained by NBC News.
[02:05]	IsambardPrince	During federal fiscal year 2024, the Biden administration made 113,431 immigration arrests, and of those, only 28% were of people who had no criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. 
[02:05]	IsambardPrince	Asked for comment on the data, Tricia McLaughlin, a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said immigrants without criminal records are often far from innocent but declined to provide further data."
[02:05]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, "Far from innocent" but declined further comment.
[02:05]	MinceR	lol
[02:06]	nobody	it's mostly llvm/clang/c17/c23 stuff that got merged, a few ebuilds switched to cmake instead of autotools, nothing relevant, it's only annoying
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	"According to the data, only 13% of those currently in ICE detention are on track for expedited removal, a designation indicating they can be deported without having a court hearing. The remaining 87% are facing deportation proceedings which could last for months or even years.
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	Immigration courts are facing a backlog of 3.6 million cases and, as a result, some pending cases may not be heard for years. At least 16,000 current ICE detainees have notices to appear in court, which means they are waiting for a court date."
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Trump fired 20 immigration judges.
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	Each one could hear an average of 700 cases per year.
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	So this reduced the capacity by 14,000 cases per year.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	There was no indication that they were particularly biased for or against immigrants at the hearings.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	It was "DOGE".
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, So there will be 14,000 more immigrant removal cases piling up costing a lot more than the salaries of the judges.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	And almost all those cases would have ended in a removal.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	Each year.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	DOGE is just stupidly firing people then realizing what it did later.
[02:08]	nobody	even then it would take ~500 years
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	Last week they accidentally fired 400 people who maintain nuclear bombs.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	Then tried calling them back.
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	This week it was the entire team at CDC trying to prevent the spread of bird flu.
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	Then they tried calling them back.
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	nobody, There's over 400 immigration judges.
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	But that's not the point.
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	We need more, so why are they firing them?
[02:11]	nobody	you just said it, they're facing a "backlog of 3.6 million". which shouldn't exist after all?
[02:11]	nobody	if they had done their job?
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	Each case takes time.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	And there are regulations, laws, and facts of each case to consider.
[02:12]	nobody	of cause
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	The government says basically "We want to remove him because reasons."
[02:13]	nobody	i am only aware of how this is abused for political bargain, in germany
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	And the judge asks you and your attorney what you have to say for yourself and why you should be allowed to stay.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	Then you say "Because of this law or that reason or they'll skin me alive if I go back to my country!"
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	And the judge considers everything and decides.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	And 80-90% of the time, you get an order of removal.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	But not always.
[02:14]	nobody	ahead of the election, one(!) flight was scheduled to send ~30 migrants back to afghanistan/usbekistan, while there was varying numbers of who knows 1million cases or seomething in germany
[02:14]	nobody	subject to "psychological care" taken and similar
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	Right, there's a legal process to be removed from the US.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	Even if they know for sure you're here illegally and never got inspected on the way in.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	The first time it happens, it's not even a crime.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	It's onyl a crime if it happens a second or subsequent time.
[02:15]	nobody	the afghan body builder social influencer guy that smashed a car into verdi labor union protesters, did receive a legal permit to stay, although his request for asylum was rejected
[02:15]	nobody	he to had a permission to work, which he did
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	If you get a final order of removal, then what happens is you have 30 days to leave, and sometimes they release you and let you go on your own.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	If you don't appear or leave on your own then you're wanted.
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	Trump's main obstacle here is the Immigration and Nationality Act sort of is pretty lax on removals.
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	It's not like ICE catches you and just throws you right out, usually.
[02:16]	nobody	no judge nor court in germany would have issued an order to leave the country to this afghan body builder
[02:16]	nobody	yet, see what happened
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	nobody, There's a bunch of people with final removal orders that just disappeared somewhere into the country.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	They'll have much easier time finding them and throwing them right the hell out than worrying about people without a date to see the judge yet.
[02:18]	IsambardPrince	Those are the easiest ones because the decision was made.
[02:19]	IsambardPrince	If they catch one that hasn't seen the judge yet, it may take between 3 and 7 years to get them to the judge.
[02:19]	IsambardPrince	Trump may not even still be there when they do.
[02:19]	IsambardPrince	Until then, ICE will have to release most of them into the country and require periodic check-ins.
[02:19]	nobody	in germany they receive "social security"
[02:20]	IsambardPrince	So the ones that haven't been caught, processed, and put in the queue have the best chance of outlastic Trump.
[02:20]	IsambardPrince	They need to stay hidden as long as possible.
[02:20]	IsambardPrince	Because the queue is FIFO.
[02:20]	nobody	only if their "country of origin" agreed to welcome the migrant back home, social security is cut down to zero
[02:20]	IsambardPrince	That means low profile and letting ICE catch others.
[02:20]	IsambardPrince	Don't hang out at places ICE will monitor.
[02:21]	IsambardPrince	Don't be near people with criminal records or pending charges.
[02:21]	nobody	yet, since most countries refuse to take back their citizens, germany has to pay
[02:21]	IsambardPrince	nobody, We threatened to invade Panama.
[02:21]	IsambardPrince	So far they took 500 people who are from various countries that are not Panama.
[02:21]	IsambardPrince	Stuck them in a hotel under armed guard.
[02:21]	IsambardPrince	Two have tried to commit suicide so far.
[02:21]	nobody	500, there's 3.6 million cases in USA you said
[02:22]	IsambardPrince	They build a camp in the jungle for them.
[02:22]	IsambardPrince	No, no.
[02:22]	IsambardPrince	You don't get it.
[02:22]	IsambardPrince	The 500 were from countries where it's unstable and hard to send people back to.
[02:22]	IsambardPrince	Only they go to Panama.
[02:22]	IsambardPrince	Or Mexico.
[02:22]	IsambardPrince	We dump people in Mexico that aren't Mexican all the time.
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	Several planes land in India now per week each with about 120 people being deported to India.
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	That's just India.
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	We're just not having it anymore.
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	They come here they break our laws, they sell drugs to little kids.
[02:23]	MinceR	when is vivek ramaswamy going?
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	Those Indian gas stations with the drugs.

[02:24]	MinceR	and when are satan's nutella and sundar pichai going?

[02:24]	IsambardPrince	Rich ones stay.
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	Basically if their job is cleaning human shit in India, we deport them.
[02:25]	MinceR	i'm guessing that means the one whose name sounds like farts and who fucked up goolag search also stays
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	If their job is ruining American companies and extracting wealth for themselves, they stay here.

[03:23]	IsambardPrince	Mom says she voted for him because "Kamala hired Oprah and didn't tell us what her plan was".
[03:23]	IsambardPrince	She doesn't need to be married.
[03:24]	IsambardPrince	She's capable of enough stupidity for two stupid people all by herself.
[03:27]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Being near my mother is like crossing the event horizon of stupidity, and getting pulled down to that level.
[03:28]	IsambardPrince	You can't argue with the kitchen table. It's the same thing only worse.
[03:28]	IsambardPrince	It's like a bird that keeps repeating the same thing it heard someone else say.
[03:28]	IsambardPrince	You can scream at the bird all you want, but it doesn't know what you mean, and frankly it doesn't know what it's saying either.

[03:33]	IsambardPrince	That's the level of understanding and critical thought of most people in MAGA. Either the brain no longer works or it never works, or they're like my parents where most of their brain never works and then it aged poorly.
[03:34]	IsambardPrince	My mom never takes vaccines. She's an antivaxxer, so she's always sick with COVID, Pneumonia, or the Flu.
[03:34]	IsambardPrince	All that swelling. It causes your brain to enlarge, compress against the skull, which kills it a bit at a time.
[03:34]	IsambardPrince	But she's never been quite right.
[03:35]	IsambardPrince	And honestly if anything can take my dad away from his pornography for a few minutes, it's right-wing politics. Because it lights up a different part of the brain, not that it's analyzing anything, just the part that gets mad and shouts. That's all you need, really.
[03:37]	IsambardPrince	With deporting Indians, they accidentally landed in the right place, almost. They should be getting rid of the ones with business degrees. They do far more damage than the street shitters.
[03:37]	IsambardPrince	But the only reason they want any of them out is they're immigrants and they're seen as directly maybe needing something.
[03:40]	IsambardPrince	It would be a mistake to label me the same as Marko Elez or other Trump/Musk officials.
[03:40]	IsambardPrince	Elez said he wanted to have a "genocide" against Indian people. I'd prefer to just return all of them and say that they're welcome to apply the legal way when they learn how to flush a toilet and run an honest business.
[03:44]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The worst I have to say about the Philippines is they're generally a nice and decent bunch, but why is there always a rooster when I call my bank?
[03:44]	IsambardPrince	I noticed that, and said something about it.
[03:45]	IsambardPrince	Then mom noticed there's a rooster when she calls Amazon.
[03:45]	IsambardPrince	Then Mandy noticed that one of the people on his group chat was working from home and there was a rooster in the background.

[05:28]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz-pi, Governor Pritzker gave a very good speech to the Illinois General Assembly today.
[05:28]	IsambardPrince	I noticed some empty chairs, Republicans I guess who didn't want to hear his speech about the Nazis.
[05:29]	IsambardPrince	Fuck em.
[05:30]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, It was nice to hear the governor quote the Blues Brothers though.
[05:30]	IsambardPrince	"I hate Illinois Nazis."
[05:31]	IsambardPrince	The Illinois Nazi Party did march in the end, after a Jewish lawyer won their court case (back in the 70s).
[05:31]	IsambardPrince	They moved it from Skokie to Chicago.
[05:31]	IsambardPrince	In the end, only 20 Nazis showed up, but over 2,000 people showed up to protest them and the whole thing fizzled out after 10 minutes and the Nazis left.
[05:32]	IsambardPrince	There was an Illinois Nazi that ran for my Congressional district when I lived on the north side.
[05:32]	IsambardPrince	That district included Skokie.
[05:32]	IsambardPrince	He ran as a Republican even though he was an American Nazi Party member.
[05:32]	IsambardPrince	The Republican Party didn't say anything bad about him or discourage anyone from voting for him.
[05:33]	IsambardPrince	And he got 37% of the vote.
[05:33]	IsambardPrince	probably from people who didn't even know who he was.
[05:35]	IsambardPrince	Illinois is poaching a lot of jobs from California tech companies, like Google.
[05:36]	IsambardPrince	They want to be in a liberal/left-leaning state.
[05:36]	IsambardPrince	But one with taxes that are merely high, not absolutely insane.
[05:37]	IsambardPrince	Well, we have higher than average labor and tax costs, but the lowest energy costs in the midwest apparently.
[05:38]	IsambardPrince	The relatively cheap power puts the total cost of doing business in energy intensive industry to a point where it's comparable to the surrounding states.
[05:38]	IsambardPrince	nobody, Give the Democrats time.
[05:38]	IsambardPrince	They'll fuck that advantage up too.
[05:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	tech please

[05:41]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I figure Google will want more of a presence here eventually.
[05:41]	IsambardPrince	Data centers need cheap power and lots of water.
[05:41]	IsambardPrince	We're strategically well positioned for this.
[05:41]	IsambardPrince	And the office jobs go to Chicago
[05:42]	IsambardPrince	Illinois population stopped falling and started growing again last year.
[05:43]	IsambardPrince	Immigrants are resplacing the ones who leave the state.
[05:43]	IsambardPrince	110,000 immigrants came to Illinois to live, 60,000 natural born citizens left.
[05:43]	IsambardPrince	Net gain 50,000,
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	90,000 immigrants in, in 2023, 90,000 people who were born in the US out.

[06:09]	Afdal	yes there's multiple people starting at the end of page 10 talking about memory greediness
[06:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	" I also chatted with Roy Schestowitz at TechRights on their IRC channel a few days ago. I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually links to @back2themoon's Hacker News post or some other mention of the problem, as TechRights has covered what they refer to as "ClownFlare" for a long time. But on the other hand, Schestowitz made it clear to me that his opinion is that people should simply avoid sites that use Cloudflare at all costs,
[06:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	 which is actually my own personal opinion and my own tactic. So there's a good chance that TechRights simply never bothers to write about the people that are locked out of Cloudflare sites - sites that Schestowitz doesn't feel are worthy of getting any traffic at all anyway. He may, in fact, be quite happy that Cloudflare is locking people out of sites and may be hoping that Cloudflare locks a lot more people out of sites until t
[06:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	hey've destroyed the traffic to all their clients' sites. Which - actually - is kind of hard to disagree with. This entire business model of running a mafia-type "protection" racket at exorbitant fees for websites is quite obscene when you think it over."
[06:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	memory greediness is one thing
[06:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	not the same as pushing to OOM
[06:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	OOML can result in data loss

[06:12]	schestowitz[TR2]	Amazingly, in that 6-year period TechRights and its sister site TuxMachines have racked up over 100 million page views on Gemini - which is just absolutely mind-boggling to think about.

[07:30]	IsambardPrince	Cutting the spending is better than cutting the penis.
[07:31]	IsambardPrince	We should stop worrying about how the African man uses his penis and stop cutting his penis.
[07:31]	IsambardPrince	This whole thing seems to be like some general anxiety over how "oversexed" the black man is, so they have to cut his penis to un-oversex him.
[07:32]	IsambardPrince	Bill Gates was doing these circumcisions in Africa for a while.
[07:32]	IsambardPrince	He lied and told them it grants 100% immunity from HIV.
[07:32]	IsambardPrince	Then a bunch of them did it, and got HIV.

[07:33]	IsambardPrince	Cut spending and quit cutting penises.
[07:33]	IsambardPrince	Maybe if you stick a $12,000 non-covered bill in the face of the parents, they stop doing it.
[07:33]	IsambardPrince	That's all I mean.
[07:34]	taylan	Note that there are medically necessary types of partial circumcision. Wouldn't want to accidentally ban those from health care.
[07:35]	taylan	There's also the risk that some populations will go for cheaper and more dangerous circumcisions if it's not covered. It's super important to some cultures, largely benign, and not an expensive operation.
[07:36]	IsambardPrince	If the government is spending $12,000 to circumcise infants who were born on Medicaid, which is 68% of all infants in Louisiana, for example....
[07:37]	IsambardPrince	How much is that and why can't they spend it on WIC coupons or something?

[07:41]	taylan	comparing FGM to circumcision makes no sense at all... the male equivalent of FGM would be like cutting off the entire penis.
[07:42]	IsambardPrince	Oh, Lobster.
[07:42]	taylan	Muslims don't universally do FGM by the way.  For example, in Turkey it's unheard of.
[07:43]	taylan	Turks do circumcise all the boys though (I'm circumcised because I grew up in Turkey)
[07:44]	taylan	by the way, 12K USD really isn't a lot of money, what's the context of that?
[07:45]	IsambardPrince	It's about what the line on the hospital bill is for circumcision.
[07:45]	IsambardPrince	Male circumcision has fallen in the US.
[07:45]	IsambardPrince	Because of increased poverty.
[07:45]	IsambardPrince	And out of control medical inflation.
[07:46]	IsambardPrince	If overall inflation in the US ran like medical inflation, the value of the dollar would fall by about half every 5 years or so I think.
[07:46]	IsambardPrince	We'd be in a lot of trouble.
[07:46]	taylan	oh, so it's 12K per person? that's ridiculously high then lol
[07:46]	IsambardPrince	It is.
[07:47]	IsambardPrince	20 years ago it ran about $3,000.
[07:47]	IsambardPrince	In the 1980s it was only about $700.
[07:47]	IsambardPrince	Circumcision hyperinflation.
[07:47]	taylan	in Turkey I doubt it costs more than the equivalent of a couple hundred USD.  no idea what my parents paid back then but it was done on the kitchen table at home :D
[07:48]	Afdal	this is a weird topic to be discussing in here >.>
[07:48]	Afdal	but the real issue is consent
[07:48]	Afdal	It's one thing for a consenting informed adult to consent to body modification
[07:48]	taylan	(he was a professional and it was sanitary, but it really was done on the kitchen table at home, which is really funny when I think about it)
[07:48]	Afdal	it's quite another for an infant
[07:48]	IsambardPrince	In the US, the health plan for those without much money is "go die".
[07:49]	IsambardPrince	And the Republicans plan to make it worse.
[07:50]	taylan	Afdal: on one hand, I agree on principle; on the other hand, it's generally not a big deal in practice (unlike, say, FGM, which has crippling effects)
[07:50]	IsambardPrince	You have to be basically destitute or terminally ill to get Medicaid, and they want to add work requirements.
[07:50]	IsambardPrince	They already have work requirements on most of the ways you can get it.
[07:50]	Afdal	you know informed consent was one of the Nuremburg principles
[07:50]	IsambardPrince	So you better tell those 8 month pregnant women and dying cancer patients and blind amputees to hop to it.
[07:51]	IsambardPrince	Afdal, They just say your parents consented for you.
[07:51]	IsambardPrince	I'm lucky I'm even alive after those two.
[07:51]	IsambardPrince	But the law said they were in charge until I was 18.
[07:52]	IsambardPrince	My father had three college degrees, high income. Held down careers. However...severe deficits everywhere else.
[07:52]	IsambardPrince	Like, mom told him let that pot of beans boil for an hour then turn it to low.
[07:53]	IsambardPrince	She came home after her shift that evening and the pot had boiled dry, the house was filled with smoke, the smoke detector was going off, and she found him in his "study" looking through a titty magazine.
[07:53]	IsambardPrince	Meanwhile, she ran off to all the payday loan places and wrote bad checks and got him to pay twice as much money two weeks later when the prosecutor was threatening them.
[07:54]	IsambardPrince	And telling her employer she was exempt from taxes and making him pay at the end of the tax year, for her and him.

[08:08]	TR Bot	 Navigating Global Regulations and Open Source: US OFAC Sanctions
[08:08]	Afdal	The bigger picture is that this crap is scaring people away from holding their copyrights in the United States
[08:08]	Afdal	which was until now the key to GPL enforcement
[08:09]	Afdal	the GPL was written directed at US laws and it can only be enforced in US courts when a project holds its copyrights in the US
[08:09]	IsambardPrince	Nobody should want to be under OFAC or anything like it. Especially not under Trump's people.
[08:09]	IsambardPrince	There's no telling how Trump will wield that, but it won't be good.
[08:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	same with let's encryption
[08:09]	Afdal	also vast swaths of the libre software scene are already violating these sanctions

[08:10]	IsambardPrince	Trump is already politicizing the US financial framework in ways it simply never has been before.
[08:10]	IsambardPrince	Including stripping away the FDIC's independence and trying to install Trump cronies on them so who even knows if their savings deposits are insured anymore.
[08:11]	IsambardPrince	The FDIC has NEVER been political. Under any administration, all the way back to 1935.
[08:11]	Afdal	My big takeaway from the LF's statement on it is that the sanctions are placing an enormous burden on libre projects to both a) keep extreme track of the identity and national origin of contributors in order to avoid the wrong ones, making software projects about people instead of the software, and b) take a magical guess about how improving their software might possibly also benefit an entity proscribed by their government and thus refuse to improve 
[08:11]	IsambardPrince	This is some bad shit.
[08:11]	Afdal	their software.
[08:11]	IsambardPrince	It's not going to end well.
[08:11]	Afdal	b is directly hostile to the entire idea of libre software and it's exactly the same thing that libre software enthusiasts disown when a project uses a free-but-don't-support-this-thing license.
[08:11]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I can think of ways to use "DOGE savings". A lot of them.
[08:12]	IsambardPrince	Put them in the Deposit Insurance Fund.
[08:12]	IsambardPrince	They're gonna need it. :)
[08:12]	Afdal	I can't believe the Software Freedom Law Center or something other litigation-oriented group haven't acted on this yet
[08:12]	Afdal	Whether Trump rescinds these Biden-era sanctions or not, they've exposed a dangerous legal problem with the GPL
[08:13]	IsambardPrince	I think they should lower deposit insurance down to $100,000 per depositor, and ban those "partitioning" services that split the deposits between banks to game the system.
[08:13]	IsambardPrince	The goal of the fund should be to save people who are not rich.
[08:14]	IsambardPrince	If you want to open accounts at many banks, yourself, by hand, that would maybe be okay. $100,000 at a time, by yourself.
[08:14]	IsambardPrince	But partitioning lets you insure any amount, millions even.
