[16:40] DaemonFC[m] No burning, very little soreness in the arm that the injection went into. [16:41] DaemonFC[m] Fine, overall. No fever. Checked it with the thermometer this morning. 98.5 degrees F. [16:43] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz: the latest forced update for my Galaxy S20 FE allows me to remove the EXIF location and date tags from my photos. [16:43] DaemonFC[m] How nice, and only 10 years after that threat was well known.

[16:44] DaemonFC[m] I liked my first phone a lot better. A regular Nokia phone that could barely even do SMS. [16:44] schestowitz it should be OFF by default anyway [16:44] schestowitz people don't realise how much they share when sending photos [16:44] DaemonFC[m] If you needed directions, you printed out a Google map that just told you which exits and freeways to take from your computer. [16:45] schestowitz yeh, I used to do that with palm pda [16:45] schestowitz make an image [16:45] schestowitz save and send to palm [16:45] schestowitz if you lack a printer [16:45] schestowitz the screen is the paper [16:45] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz: Mom bought a Garmin way back and then needed to do a maps update. [16:46] DaemonFC[m] The maps update surpassed the space on the device, but the device exposed the file system to my computer, so I deleted a bunch of crap including various voice files, and left her with an Australian man reading the directions because that was the smallest voice file. [16:47] DaemonFC[m] The updated map just barely fit, and it brought the data up to date with changes in the 5 years since she had purchased it. [16:47] schestowitz DaemonFC[m]: can you check my english? [16:47] schestowitz (next post) [16:47] DaemonFC[m] They try to force obsolescence that way. I can't imagine the US road system changed that much in 5 years. [16:47] DaemonFC[m] Yeah.

[16:52] DaemonFC[m] Much better than usual, actually. [16:52] DaemonFC[m] "Reporting firmware version to server. Please wait...." !? [16:52] DaemonFC[m] Oh good. [16:53] DaemonFC[m] T-Mobile rigged my phone so it reports whether the update bricked it or not. [16:53] DaemonFC[m] These new SIM cards are a trap. [16:53] schestowitz sounds like malware [16:53] DaemonFC[m] It does. [16:54] DaemonFC[m] Maybe it was already doing that and now they just no longer hide it? [16:54] DaemonFC[m] Impossible to say for sure. [16:55] MinceR deutsche telekom is evil anyway [16:55] MinceR they're very friendly with fideath [16:55] MinceR they turned origo.hu into a fideath propaganda rag [16:56] MinceR they also liked to advertise data plans as unlimited and then punish people for transmitting too much data [16:56] MinceR they're also the most overpriced mobile operator in hungary, by far [16:57] DaemonFC[m] Okay, Matrix had a stroke. [16:57] *aindilis` has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [16:58] DaemonFC[m] So T-Mobile tried to use the SIM swap that was "free" to take away my HULU, AAA, and up Mandy's plan by $10 a month. [16:58] DaemonFC[m] Not sure if that made it through. [16:58] MinceR :> [16:58] MinceR it didn't [16:58] DaemonFC[m] So I called Customer "Care" and some very pleasant lady in the Philippines took the call. [16:59] DaemonFC[m] And Mandy spoke to her in Tagalog and she giggled a bit and deleted a code from my account that blocked the features and his plan from carrying over. [16:59] *aindilis (~aindilis@172-12-3-117.lightspeed.sgnwmi.sbcglobal.net) has joined #techrights [16:59] DaemonFC[m] And his SIM swap worked without them demanding that I change to an expensive and crappier plan. ● Mar 22 [17:00] DaemonFC[m] So that part went okay.

Sprint's didn't. My phone works fine in Walmart now, which was a total dead zone with the Sprint SIM. [17:01] DaemonFC[m] But WiFi calling switches itself back to Cellular Preferred without asking, and then my reception sucks in my apartment when I could just use the WiFi calling before. [17:01] schestowitz [16:55] they turned origo.hu into a fideath propaganda rag [17:01] schestowitz those infideaths! [17:02] DaemonFC[m] The transition for former Sprint customers has been a very bad experience and it's all so T-Mobile can save money by firing people and decommissioning towers that worked fine before. [17:02] schestowitz glad I never have to deal with those companies [17:02] schestowitz total ripoff [17:02] DaemonFC[m] They've sacked at least 6,000 net employees that I know of and are trying to screw Sprint customers and raise their bills with a "free SIM card". [17:02] schestowitz like 'unlimited' limits... for the price of home broadband for 5 people [17:03] schestowitz I still need to buy batteries for our cordless phones [17:03] DaemonFC[m] The $10 a month extra is $120 a year, and on top of that, you lose $108 worth of free HULU and $59 a year worth of AAA auto club membership. [17:03] schestowitz they barely rehcarge anymore and stores are shut [17:03] MinceR schestowitz: https://www.101soundboards.com/sounds/150382-in-fadell-i-crash-a-plane-into-your-mother [17:03] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.101soundboards.com | In fadell I crash a plane into your mother - Prank Call Sounds: Postal 2 Soundboard [17:03] DaemonFC[m] If you just go ahead with it. The Borg drones in the pink t-shirts at the store act like YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE! [17:04] DaemonFC[m] But there's ways around it if you call Customer Care and threaten to find a new carrier, wouldn't you know? [17:04] MinceR :> [17:04] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz: MANY more layoffs are coming. [17:05] DaemonFC[m] T-Mobile was stuck in leases yet to expire on Sprint stores and isn't going to use bankruptcy to get rid of them (better to just use attrition). [17:05] DaemonFC[m] So half the stores will close (whichever ones are located too close to another one to be efficient), couple thousand stores, each employing roughly 10-12 people maybe. [17:06] schestowitz DaemonFC[m]: maybe time to split job times [17:06] schestowitz and recognise we have too many "bullshit jobs" [17:06] DaemonFC[m] 24,000-ish more job losses. [17:06] schestowitz as the talk goes [17:06] DaemonFC[m] The 6,000 so far are just the tip, and it's engineers and stuff. [17:06] schestowitz give jobs to more people [17:06] DaemonFC[m] Retail is next. [17:06] schestowitz 20 hours a week [17:06] schestowitz raise pay, too [17:07] schestowitz brb [17:07] DaemonFC[m] Yes, raise minimum wage to about $17-18 an hour and change the definition of full time to like 28-29 hours. [17:07] schestowitz just had to restart httpd on tuxmachines too [17:07] DaemonFC[m] Come up with tax penalties if you work people less than that to game the system. [17:07] schestowitz maybe the load causes all this [17:08] DaemonFC[m] That would leave people working at Walmart no worse off financially than they are today. [17:08] DaemonFC[m] But it would give them a third day off each week. [17:08] DaemonFC[m] Which would raise the number of jobs in the store by about 60 or so. [17:09] DaemonFC[m] At one company, they would have to hire about 230,000 more employees to do "work share", and net profits would go down a bit, but they'd still be okay. [17:09] DaemonFC[m] But it'll never happen, Roy. [17:10] DaemonFC[m] I became interested in the idea of work share when I heard that Germany was doing it as one prong of an attack on the unemployment problem. [17:11] DaemonFC[m] We're still down about 11.5 million jobs since the start of the pandemic a year ago. [17:11] DaemonFC[m] We lost about 20 million, and most of the "recovery" happened by October, so the Trump White House posted that "everything was recovering quickly....nothing to see here" and then the job gains pretty much stopped, right? [17:11] DaemonFC[m] Only half a million more recovered since October. [17:12] DaemonFC[m] This is clearly an L-shaped recession in the real economy. Not Wall Street because of money-printing. [17:13] DaemonFC[m] Tech stocks are doing great, but they're all like T-Mobile and Microsoft. Bragging about their Tax Giveaways and Layoffs Act "savings" while sacking 5-10% of their workforce under cover of darkness. [17:13] DaemonFC[m] (News won't print it.) [17:14] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz: Then Ford Motor Company announced that it was lying the whole time about that expansion in Ohio that "Trump" secured. [17:15] DaemonFC[m] The $900 million in factory upgrades vanished, and they say they'll be using Trump NAFTA to open a new plant in Mexico instead. [17:16] DaemonFC[m] Trump NAFTA only requires that the cars be built in "North America" and that the workers "average" $16 an hour (with no compliance mechanism), so they can blame this on Biden if they want, but it was what was negotiated in the treaty and it's not like Ford was ever going to expand in Ohio. [17:17] DaemonFC[m] The UAW is furious, as they should be. But their members should be furious at their leader, Trumka, for supporting Trump NAFTA as it was based on Trump-ka's word that Ford would never exercise their right to come back and screw them all later, which they did. [17:20] schestowitz [17:13] (News won't print it.) [17:20] DaemonFC[m] I call Richard Trumka "Trumpka" because he was so sycophantic to this obviously rotten deal that would cause more atrophy to auto workers. [17:20] schestowitz light up fire on cuomo [17:20] MinceR :) [17:20] schestowitz to distract from bezos and chums? [17:21] schestowitz orban will blame "soros", MinceR [17:21] MinceR or "bruxelles" [17:22] DaemonFC[m] What everyone in America really wants is more good jobs, so you can almost forgive some of them for being duped by Trump's siren song beckoning them to crash into the rocks, the first time. [17:22] DaemonFC[m] But some of them voted for him again after they crashed into the rocks and it was obvious that no help was coming, from anyone. [17:22] schestowitz MinceR: or say soros owns bruxelles [17:23] DaemonFC[m] Trump's 757 is parked at an airport in upstate New York. [17:23] DaemonFC[m] The engines are apparently so far gone that it's not even worth the price of fixing it. [17:23] schestowitz fly it without fixing [17:23] DaemonFC[m] The last time it flew was a campaign prop and the people the news spoke with say it was costing an enormous amount of money to keep it flying then. [17:24] DaemonFC[m] A pilot who saw it estimated that the cost of fixing just one of the engines would be a million dollars because the price of an overhaul would exceed purchasing a new one. [17:24] schestowitz glad to see bill's jet air-dropping vaccines [17:24] schestowitz in africa [17:24] schestowitz for free [17:24] schestowitz oh wait [17:25] schestowitz too expensive [17:25] schestowitz bad investment [17:25] DaemonFC[m] Cars can get like that too. The engine is so messed up that it costs less to find a used engine with less miles on it and swap out the whole thing than dismantling and rebuilding the one you have. [17:26] schestowitz planes have to be used a lot to be worth it [17:26] schestowitz otherwise, share them [17:26] DaemonFC[m] That's particularly true with luxury models where they don't want you fixing them though and have patents to ensure no second source parts. [17:26] schestowitz the elite ego [sic] doesn't allow it [17:26] schestowitz class shame" [17:26] schestowitz "if my friends saw me sharing a plane with other people, what would they think?" [17:26] DaemonFC[m] GM didn't really get there with my Impala, so lots of second source parts for things like intakes. [17:27] DaemonFC[m] Trump has been flying around in a Cessna Citation. [17:27] DaemonFC[m] Which he gripes about as being "beneath him" and an aide says if he had to fly commercial he'd "just stay home". [17:28] DaemonFC[m] Microsoft has made few stunningly good programs over the years, but their flight simulators are good. [17:28] schestowitz last time I flew was 2018 [17:28] DaemonFC[m] Maybe there's a mod to add the Lolita Express. Who knows? [17:28] schestowitz before we migrated the site to the new DC, 2 weeks earlier [17:29] DaemonFC[m] I hate flying. TSA says over 1.3 million people per day are flying now. [17:29] schestowitz that's less than one person a year [17:29] schestowitz alnost [17:29] DaemonFC[m] And this is jumping the gun, but the weather's nice again and people are willing to risk COVID on a bankruptcy-inducing 2 week vacation somewhere. [17:29] schestowitz just over 1 flight per person per day [17:29] schestowitz flights are no fun [17:30] DaemonFC[m] I don't like flying. [17:30] schestowitz anyway, it's off topic already [17:30] schestowitz I will check out news now [17:30] DaemonFC[m] And there's absolutely no way I'd do it for another 13 days. "Gee, 4.5 hours with nothing to do where they bill me two months worth of Comcast to have wifi on the plane.".

[19:23] DaemonFC[m] Then even if they leave the state, the new state will still force them to register for life because Illinois did.

[19:46] DaemonFC[m] So the arrests themselves are illegal. (First Amendment) [19:46] DaemonFC[m] Not that this ever stops a fascist government. [19:46] DaemonFC[m] Next they'll try arresting anyone who talks about DEFCAD, because that's how fascism creeps. [19:47] DaemonFC[m] Now, I like to think of myself as a practical, results-oriented guy who thinks about things based on the evidence.

[19:49] DaemonFC[m] Proven fact. [19:50] DaemonFC[m] So the state may as well just stop prosecuting for DEFCAD and FOID and shut the fuck up and get out of the way if it can't do anything useful. [19:50] DaemonFC[m] That's my attitude about a lot of things, including software. Help or get out of the way. [19:51] DaemonFC[m] There's useful fragmentation in Linux and there's useless fragmentation that takes away and drives people off.

[19:52] DaemonFC[m] So things have gone to pot. [19:53] DaemonFC[m] Debian didn't make a choice on init so much as it was a cave-in. Had they chosen to make upstart the new init and work with Canonical on it, there might collectively be enough development to resist systemd.

In terms of init, it was working out more like AMD's SEE vs. Intel's FRED in x86 exception handling proposals. [19:54] DaemonFC[m] Upstart was more conservative and fixed obvious and very real problems in sysvinit without dramatic changes and taking anything else over.

[19:55] DaemonFC[m] And the government will pour billions of tax dollars in it with no guarantee that most Americans will have access to the benefits. [19:56] DaemonFC[m] That's what happened with HIV treatments. [19:56] DaemonFC[m] The government has the patent on Tenofovir and hasn't done a damned thing about affordability. [19:56] DaemonFC[m] We're going to get a repeat if there are "mRNA miracle therapeutics". [19:57] DaemonFC[m] In fact, the US government has done the opposite with Tenofivir affordability. They exclusively licensed it to one company which proceeded to use the monopoly to gouge people for up to $3,000 a month for their HIV drugs.

[20:02] DaemonFC[m] Overall, it was a wash between the two formats, with one winning over the other about an equal number of times and about the same overall score. [20:03] DaemonFC[m] While iTunes improved, so did MP3 for a number of years. [20:03] DaemonFC[m] In the end, iTunes scored a little better, but it was never 50% more efficient at any point in history. [20:04] DaemonFC[m] Even in the end it was perhaps 20% more efficient than MP3, but storage became an unimportant issue because it expanded while costs went down. [20:04] DaemonFC[m] I think the fact that the open source community never really bothered with an AAC encoder kind of said everything there was to say.
