[00:05] DaemonFC His mistake? Saying out loud that the US is starting to remind him of China, where if you say the wrong thing.. [00:05] DaemonFC Well, you dont just get killed or disappeared.as such. Just professionally ruined. Perhaps a better example is the concept of dedma, a word that Filipino people may be more familiar with, where society will shun you and ignore you if it becomes aware you have the wrong views. [00:05] DaemonFC Without going too far astray, the wrong opinions to have in America today read like something from bizarro world. If you just say criminals belong in prison and people should be entitled to keep what they earn and the government shouldnt be throwing thousand dollar bills at people to keep the least productive the most reproductive and pretend its all okay for a couple more years until Build Back Better causes our cou [00:05] DaemonFC ntry to collapse, and youre in favor of the entire bill of rights, including the Second Amendment Thats what happens to you. [00:05] DaemonFC Theyve gotten so good at disappearing us using GAFAM, disappearing people who are still in our right minds, that we have to stake out a new frontier and break our old habits and let companies like Facebook turn completely into an echo chamber full of crazy people with distorted thought patterns and advertising bullshit. [00:05] DaemonFC Ive already started my divorce from GAFAM. Im not replacing my Android phone when it fails, with another Android. Ill be getting one that runs GNU/Linux. [00:05] DaemonFC I dont care about apps. Theyre dumb. [00:05] DaemonFC Did you know that there are 7 tracking libraries now in the text messaging app on a Samsung Galaxy phone. One of them even contacts Facebook. Even if you dont use Facebook! [00:05] DaemonFC Tracker Control neuters them. But this has to be a stop gap." [00:06] schestowitz ah, weiwei [00:06] schestowitz yes, he spoke about "woke" culture [00:06] schestowitz which I think relates to "cancel" [00:06] schestowitz a term made up (I think) by the right [00:06] schestowitz when they canceled and deplatformed speakers [00:06] schestowitz weiwei was never big in western media [00:06] schestowitz in fact, I saw weiwei mentioned in the media the other day [00:07] schestowitz they did not 'disappear' him [00:07] schestowitz his friend appelbaum disappeared [00:07] DaemonFC By associating normality with racism and transphobia or whatever, like mjg59 does, they can make anything crimethink. [00:07] DaemonFC No matter how correct it is, even if there's nothing of the sort going on. [00:07] schestowitz weiwei is cool [00:07] schestowitz I like weiwei [00:08] DaemonFC mjg59 is one of those fucking idiots who lives in a liberal city to let his freak flag fly. [00:08] DaemonFC And those are the sorts that are the reason your sister dislikes Portland. Except that mjg59 is probably too smart to ever go get himself arrested. [00:08] schestowitz you don't need to provoke him [00:08] schestowitz you want to [00:08] schestowitz but let's focus on issues [00:08] DaemonFC He'll just egg on people who are dumber than he is. He'll use child molesters and the mentally ill as muscle. [00:09] schestowitz my nieces are miserable [00:09] schestowitz they hate the places [00:09] schestowitz *place [00:11] DaemonFC I can imagine. [00:11] DaemonFC Why the hell did she pick that shithole? [00:11] schestowitz almost as bad as where you are [00:11] DaemonFC Anything on the left coast is wrong. [00:11] schestowitz you keep misusing that label [00:11] schestowitz "left" [00:11] schestowitz while you vote Biden [00:12] DaemonFC She should move somewhere where they don't tolerate crime and pander to the criminals and get more of it. [00:12] kingoffrance that place doesnt exist [00:12] kingoffrance not in this world [00:12] kingoffrance heaven on earth is "leftist" idea [00:12] DaemonFC Well, the jury in Wisconsin didn't go along with that bullshit. [00:12] DaemonFC Did they? [00:12] kingoffrance america was always "leftist" like that [00:12] kingoffrance its always been bs DaemonFC [00:12] kingoffrance from day noe [00:12] kingoffrance *one [00:13] DaemonFC Maybe the rioters will stay home and circle jerk each other next time instead of coming out to burn cars and stuff. [00:13] DaemonFC They're losers. They have nothing. They are nothing. That's why all three men he shot are pedos, drunk drivers, wife beaters, etc. [00:13] DaemonFC Not one of them deserves life. [00:14] DaemonFC Not even life in prison. [00:14] *altlink_2b9 has quit (connection closed) [00:14] DaemonFC Yet they were out causing more problems, weren't they? [00:14] *altlink_b6f (~altlink_b6f@2f7u5j6f87p9g.irc) has joined #techrights [00:14] kingoffrance why do you assume that is the "left" doing? thats the churches [00:14] kingoffrance are churches left or right? [00:14] kingoffrance grace versus law [00:14] kingoffrance america wont ever pick [00:14] DaemonFC I didn't see any church people out burning cars. [00:14] DaemonFC Oddly.... [00:16] kingoffrance churches have always been where "criminals" hide. that was pagan rome too [00:16] kingoffrance this is centuries old, you are missing centuries of history for some imagianry "left v right" nonsense, made up as the new "enlightenment" religion [00:16] kingoffrance these are all ancient issues [00:16] kingoffrance they will never go away [00:17] kingoffrance thats the definition of a church; outside the law [00:18] kingoffrance america KEPT this [00:22] kingoffrance if you want to say churches are "woke" i wont disagree [00:23] DaemonFC The SPLC may well have started out with good intentions. I'm certainly not going to argue that fighting of the actual Klan is bad, but like most things liberal, they have to paint everything that's not them as the Klan, including just normal every day decent folks who are trying to raise their kids with some morality. [00:24] DaemonFC "It is perhaps ironic that a lot of kids couldn't use proprietary GAFAM software if they wanted to because it's being blocked due to SPLC's recommendations, and so Matrix is growing. One told me one one chatroom that their school's Great Firewall doesn't know what all of the domains are on which you can use Matrix." [00:24] DaemonFC That sounds better. [00:24] kingoffrance i dont think i have anymore more to say, but come to -social if you wish [00:27] DaemonFC "The SPLC has to lie through its teeth and accuse platforms that are not GAFAM of being pedophile strongholds." [00:27] DaemonFC "Just a few short years ago, Microsoft Bing was the preferred place for pedophiles to go. It didn't do anything at all to filter it. Bill Gates was on the plane with Epstein a lot, trying to buy himself a Nobel Prize. And there was Rick Allen Jones, a CP-hoarder that was literally arrested in the Gates Mansion." [00:27] DaemonFC In at least one case, the police arrested a man and asked where he got it all, and he said BING.

[12:54] DaemonFC So they get the benefit of being very on the fence about who to vote for because the sitting president knows you need to dump money and jobs into those states.

[13:25] DaemonFC Someone at Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to call ZIP support "compressed folders". Which isn't at all confusing when you think about the fact that NTFS has compressed files and folders which are actually part of the file system. :) [13:26] DaemonFC At the file system level is usually the wrong place to do compression.

[13:29] DaemonFC There were some Lucasarts games that ran into trouble with DoubleSpace too. Probably other stuff. [13:29] DaemonFC Part of DoubleSpace/DriveSpace could load into High Memory Area/Upper Memor Blocks (curiously, not the extended memory area, though). [13:30] DaemonFC But part of it had to be in conventional (first 640 KB). [13:30] DaemonFC And that could result in it being impossible to free enough conventional memory to get a large program to load, because of the piece of the compression software that had to be there in order to make DOS bootable. [13:30] DaemonFC :) [13:32] DaemonFC AFAIK, you can get DriveSpace to work on FreeDOS as long as you are using FAT16, but it's probably a terrible idea. [13:32] DaemonFC It's Microsoft's program, so it stands to reason that it's probably hooking into some weird DOS API or data structure they never described and you could get file corruption from that. [13:33] DaemonFC But it was widely known for corrupting files on MS-DOS as well. [13:33] DaemonFC Leading to a complete reinstall being necessary. [13:34] DaemonFC Microsoft invited Stac Electronics to their Redmond campus to say they were interested in licensing Stacker. [13:34] DaemonFC Then once Microsoft had the source to Stacker, they simply made a copycat version of it with Stacker's source code being the reference. [13:35] DaemonFC Then they shipped it for free as part of DOS 6. [13:35] DaemonFC Stacker took them to court and got a settlement. Microsoft released a version of DOS without it in the interim and then released "DriveSpace" and claimed it was all original.

One could upgrade from DriveSpace 2 to DriveSpace 3, but there was no [13:41] DaemonFC downgrade path back to DriveSpace 2. One could, however, decompress a DriveSpace 3 drive.
