[00:23]	DaemonFC	MinceR, My guess with the red light tickets is they get most people to pay because most people who get one in Washington State live in Washington State where the DMV can fuck with them if they don't submit to the blackmail.
[00:25]	DaemonFC	They get away with extrajudicial punishment because "driving is not a right, it's a privilege".

[00:25]	DaemonFC	Even though you need a car to go anywhere, including to work.
[00:25]	DaemonFC	Then if you continue to drive, they pull you over and charge you with a crime, and it all started with an unpaid red light ticket, which was not a crime.
[00:26]	DaemonFC	Illinois has red lights but if you don't pay, they don't go after you in court. They don't add interest to it. They don't even mess with your license or registration or professional certificates.
[00:27]	DaemonFC	They just take it out of your State tax refund until it's paid off.
[00:27]	DaemonFC	So to keep them from doing that, you can go to your HR office and change it so you owe them something at the end of the year and then pay exactly what your State tax bill is.
[00:27]	DaemonFC	Then you won't get a tax refund because you won't have overpaid.
[00:28]	DaemonFC	The "square up" each year means you send them a check for the taxes and nothing else.
[00:28]	DaemonFC	Some men do that to stop the State from grabbing their refund to cover child support or something. Which is atrocious.
[00:28]	DaemonFC	But it prevents them from taking anything to cover the red light camera.
[00:29]	DaemonFC	They put all the red light cameras in black neighborhoods then say they're all about racial justice while you can get flashed four times going down two city blocks and get $800 in tickets going to the grocery store.

[04:07]	DaemonFC	Most of what the blue Brita filters leave in there is calcium and magnesium, which make the water taste really good and were already in it when it came through the tap.
[04:08]	DaemonFC	Brita doesn't make one filter that can handle any conceivable water quality issue, but the blue filters are the best pitcher one they have.
[04:08]	DaemonFC	I don't know why I haven't tried a Pur system yet. I understand they have an even better cartridge.
[04:08]	DaemonFC	I suppose that the Brita name just sank in after all these years of having one and I already have "the system".
[04:09]	schestowitz	:D
[04:09]	DaemonFC	You don't have to buy a Brita system to use Brita filters. Other companies sell cheaper pitchers that are meant for their Brita clones.
[04:09]	DaemonFC	You can save $10-20 on the thing then stick Brita pitchers in the filter housing instead.
[04:10]	DaemonFC	The pitcher is just an enclosure to capture and hold the filtered water. As long as the filter fits it, it's doing its job. What I've had trouble with are off brand _filters_.
[04:10]	DaemonFC	*Brita filters in the housing.
[04:11]	DaemonFC	There is a lot of garbage in the water around here. Even sourcing it out of Lake Michigan.

[04:14]	DaemonFC	schestowitz, So I couldn't even use a Brita or it would clog. Luckily they had these Filtrete water pitchers for a while. They called it a "Fast Flow" system. They spread out the carbon filter onto a disc at the top of the pitcher.

[04:30]	schestowitz	Ellison has always been a big believer in the federal government maintaining large national databases. And he was able to be much more public about it in the months after the September 11th attacks. In fact, Ellison argued that we needed just one large national security database, one with national ID cards and mandatory iris scans, naturally.

[04:31]	schestowitz	"And Ellison has worked tirelessly to build that all-seeing database, suggesting that he had even given away for free much of the tech necessary for such infrastructure. He'd only charge the government for additional services and maintenance of the systems, of course.

[04:31]	schestowitz	" after September 11th. Rosen explains that the federal government accounted for a whopping 23 percent of Oracle's licensing revenue in 2003, roughly $2.5 billion."
[04:31]	schestowitz	"I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Vox didn't highlight Oracle's CIA origins or its never-ending relationship with governments at all levels.

[08:40]	DaemonFC	The Moccamaster makes better coffee, but the Sears is quite good for a percolator.

[09:05]	DaemonFC	Didn't understand Snaps and Flatpaks?
[09:05]	DaemonFC	Which part of Snaps is "free software" in any meaningful sense?
[09:05]	DaemonFC	Also, Flatpak is closer to "free software" but it puts everything off in its own little world where the user cannot meaningfully modify it or compile and run their own version.
[09:06]	DaemonFC	So it's "free software" that subverts some very important rights you normally associate with that term.
[09:06]	DaemonFC	Not as bad as Snaps.
[09:07]	DaemonFC	As far as the programs themselves, as soon as you add Flathub to your Debian you'll see Microsoft Edge and hundreds of other proprietary programs in your Discover or GNOME Software or whatever.
[09:08]	DaemonFC	These are not "free software" and it hardly warns the user away from them. There's a red box that says "proprietary" but doesn't even bother to explain to the user why that might be bad.
[09:08]	DaemonFC	It is also not obvious what the user needs to do to hide them unless they use GNOME and then there's a graphical setting option if they care to go look for it.
[09:09]	DaemonFC	In KDE there isn't one and you have to perform a command in the terminal. Then if you want to unmask the proprietary software again, you can't and you need to remove the Flathub remote ignoring all the Flatpaks (with an override) and re-add Flathub again.
[09:09]	DaemonFC	Which, they're making this a process because they want to say you can do it without letting anyone do it.
[09:10]	DaemonFC	If you make it non-obvious or non-default or make the user feel like they're breaking something, it discourages them from changing it to hide those programs.
[09:10]	DaemonFC	There's a lot of good software in Flathub that is really convenient to get at that way, like Yuzu.
[09:10]	schestowitz	<DaemonFC> Which part of Snaps is "free software" in any meaningful sense?
[09:10]	schestowitz	snaps is proprietary back end
[09:10]	DaemonFC	It updates itself (except for the Switch firmware which I have to bump manually).
[09:11]	schestowitz	only canonical coontrols it
[09:11]	DaemonFC	Yeah, so they don't tell you how Snaps works.
[09:11]	schestowitz	flaktpak would typically be flathub
[09:11]	schestowitz	but feel free to make your own sandbox
[09:11]	DaemonFC	You can't set up a "remote" because there's no concept of this.
[09:11]	schestowitz	(nobody does)
[09:11]	schestowitz	it's a bit like sigStore
[09:11]	DaemonFC	Fedora has its own Flatpaks.
[09:11]	schestowitz	at the they they want to control it all
[09:11]	schestowitz	centralised like Lets' Enecrypt
[09:11]	DaemonFC	But when you do that, you run into problems.
[09:12]	DaemonFC	Like having to get platforms all over again.
[09:12]	DaemonFC	Which are the same versions as the ones from Flathub sometimes.
[09:12]	DaemonFC	So now you have RPMs, Fedora Flatpaks, and Flathub Flatpaks and the whole thing devolves into an unbelievably bloated mess.

[14:15]	TR News	Never use Firefox/Mozilla Pocket. It should be renamed PACKET because it sends loads of packets with personal data about you... to a mother ship controlled by GAFAM and its THREE-LETTER agency kinship. Firefox is, technically speaking, _mostly_ open source spyware or OSPS.
[14:15]	TR News	Firefox as preloaded or shipped (or downloaded) is undeniably spyware. Well, _how much_ spying? That's up for debate...
[14:17]	TR News	Saying you can make a Firefox that does not spy on the user (LibreWolf) is a bit like arguing in favour of child marriage or incest (or both). Mozilla is acting more like a cult, not a real company, certainly not like a bunch of honest grown-ups. They hired too many rogues from disinformation companies.
[14:19]	TR News	What have GNU/Linux and BSD OSes have to lose by preloading LibreWolf instead of Firefox? Heck, Ubuntu had "abrowser" and Debian had "IceWeasel". Mozilla will never learn or improve until it sheds off some "products" (how they view Firefox users) to spy on.

[14:20]	TR News	Firefox is not even a Web browser anymore. It's a webapp runtime, akin to VM, that uses HTTP/S sockets for downstream/upstream. Why would people choose this over applications that run natively (locally, offline)? Fetishism?
[14:21]	TR News	Firefox was already 'reinventing' itself as MEDIA PLAYER when it signed a SOFTWARE PATENT agreement with MPEG-LA over a decade ago. Firefox is NOT a browser, it's a bloated application that can ALSO render actual Web pages. ALSO.
[14:24]	TR News	They said Netscape lost its way when Navigator added Communicator and page composition, but nowadays Firefox is more or less the same. Their built-in non-extensions that you cannot remove are not what _most_ users really needed. They removed RSS features, such as Live Bookmarks, based on 'telemetry' data they got from spyware they installed on people's PCs (it is called "Firefox").
[14:24]	TR News	The Web is not an information platform, but HTTP can relay some information, e.g. RSS to text files
[14:27]	TR News	Firefox even stopped signalling that a page you are on has an RSS feed (or feeds). Little by little, gradual elimination. This totally seems like something Gulag Inc. asked Mozilla to do and Mitchel, with Andy Rubin's thingie in her mouth, said or mumbled "OK". Not only did Mozilla stop fighting for the open Web. It actively works to break it, speaking/spewing lies from the other side of the mouth.
[14:27]	TR News	Now, without any substance left on offer/sale, half the blog posts from Mozilla are "HEY HI" something, i.e. white noise. Oops, ALLOW noise.
[14:30]	TR News	Thunderbird "development" has become an act of amputation, not development. First they made all the useful extensions incompatible ('obsolete') and now they just strip off useful features from the core too. No "SECURITY" reasons for this! The rendering engine is by FAR your weakest link and it is inherited from the WEBAPP RUNTIME some people call a "Web browser" (Firefox).
[14:31]	TR News	Mozilla won't rest and die until Thunderbird and Firefox are useless, limiting, limited, locked down "APPS" with a hamburger menu with little to be found under it. BECAUSE "PEOPLE ARE DUMB"... let's give them dumb tools and sub those tools "Smart". Next thing is, call it "GENERATIVE HEY HI". "LOOK MA... Firefox generated a derivative (plagiarised) photo..."
[14:35]	TR News	Recursive appeal to probability gemini://idiomdrottning.org/recursive-appeal-to-probability "In this case, this is called inductive reasoning and, since we on this Earth dont have enough solid facts for 100% deductive reasoning 100% of the time"
[14:37]	TR News	Dial-up modems meant people paid for phone calls to use the Web, which meant that time on the Net needed to be BUDGETED not only metaphorically. People had better online-offline balance for _financial_ reasons. It was a form of "online tax", regulating against excessive "screen time".

[20:51]	DaemonFC	   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line

[20:51]	DaemonFC	Running it with --sync does work.
[20:51]	DaemonFC	I wonder if this is due to one of those X security patches I recently installed in Debian.

[21:10]	DaemonFC	I don't like coffee machines with a lot of buttons and dials and wizmos.
[21:10]	DaemonFC	There should be one default setting that just works. If you want to add a "strong" button, that's okay.
[21:10]	DaemonFC	But it shouldn't be more complicated than on/off and "strong" at the very most.

[21:13]	DaemonFC	She says some had a large water tank and a petite brew basket that overflowed when they went to use the SCA recommended coffee to water ratio.
[21:14]	DaemonFC	Yes, almost all of them at Walmart do this, especially the modern Mr. Coffees.
[21:14]	DaemonFC	The SCA ratio is somewhat higher than what the cans or the machines tend to tell you to do.
[21:15]	DaemonFC	The machines probably tell you to skimp so they don't have to make a bigger setup that uses more materials.
[21:17]	DaemonFC	She says don't buy a machine with a Strong button. Yeah, I tend not to. Not because it overextracts but because it slows the machine down a little so it works closer to the way it's supposed to.
[21:17]	DaemonFC	It makes the default setting "Get me the coffee 30 seconds quicker and I don't care if it's good.
[21:18]	DaemonFC	Then she talks about filters.
[21:18]	DaemonFC	Technivorm says not to use a mesh permanent filter.
[21:18]	DaemonFC	Their reasoning is that the screen clogs with oils and then the coffee basket will either overflow, or it'll slow down the machine and cause overextraction.
[21:19]	DaemonFC	They also recommend using bleached filters because the brown ones may add a "cardboard taste".

[21:22]	DaemonFC	They gave this second place after the Moccamaster and it is about $150 less expensive.
[21:23]	DaemonFC	Neat. It has an included travel mug with a dedicated fill line in addition to the stainless carafe.
[21:24]	DaemonFC	I've been seeing more brewers that have a one cup or a full pot option, but a lot of the ones at Walmart are more like two machines in one. You have to take up a ton of countertop space because one side is the mug and the other is a carafe.

[21:27]	DaemonFC	"American" brands are toxic. So many Harvard MBAs in there figuring out how to make everything shitty and terrible while they embezzle.
[21:28]	DaemonFC	It's gotten to where if you want something that works a long time, you have to ignore all these formerly great American brands entirely.
[21:28]	DaemonFC	Even GM and Ford didn't used to be completely awful.
[21:29]	DaemonFC	Back when the Japanese started eating their lunch in the 80s the only thing really wrong with most domestic cars were they were gas hogs, but they didn't break down all the time and throw weird errors and make you take them to $400 an hour mechanics that were the dealership ones because nobody else could get parts or even diagnose it.
[21:30]	DaemonFC	I like low compression high displacement engines. Those are always the best.
[21:30]	DaemonFC	They're not ideal for producing lots of power or getting the best fuel economy, but they tend to have major breakdowns a lot less.
[21:33]	DaemonFC	I'd probably skip over the Oxo though myself. I don't trust products that originate in American corporate culture.
[21:33]	DaemonFC	It's not what it once was.
[21:34]	DaemonFC	It's hilarious that Microsoft was hiring people like Joseph Cantrell. Leading up to the stabbing of a coworker at Microsoft, he was railing about Indians who should be deported and Indian tech CEOs ruining businesses, including Microsoft and blurting out that he got an STD from a hooker in company meetings.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	And according to him, his manager talked to him about it. Realized he had the blog, read the blog, talked to him about the blog where he was spilling out where to get drugs and what he thought of all the drugs.

[22:35]	DaemonFC	MinceR: So I was looking into ZeroWater some more.
[22:36]	DaemonFC	They have a hysterical amount of fine print gotchas.
[22:36]	DaemonFC	Including pH balance issues in the resulting water.
[22:36]	DaemonFC	They claim it does not reduce the pH noticeably unless you attempt to use the filter past the designed lifespan and then the ion-exchange beads start breaking down.
[22:37]	DaemonFC	However, people on Reddit have posted that it does make the water significantly less alkaline even fresh out of the box.
[22:37]	DaemonFC	:)
[22:37]	DaemonFC	Less alkalinity would come from reducing the calcium and magnesium by over 97%, which it does do.
[22:38]	DaemonFC	The problem with that is that these minerals are beneficial to the body and for taste of the water itself.
[22:38]	DaemonFC	That's why people _like_ to drink mineral water!
[22:38]	DaemonFC	The company over-emphasizes TDS without mentioning what those dissolved solids actually are.
[22:39]	DaemonFC	Most of the TDS is calcium and magnesium.
[22:40]	DaemonFC	If you live in an area where it comes out of the faucet at about 180 TDS like I do, you have decent water. You run it through a Brita, it might take it down to 140-150, and that's still fine. Again, most of the reduction are the "large limescale particles" where it's still calcium and magnesium, but it's the larger particles of it, so that's actually good. Right? The water still has enough to make it alkaline but it gets rid of the "chunks" that can 
[22:40]	DaemonFC	lead to the majority of "scale" in your appliances.
[22:40]		*MinceR has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[22:41]	DaemonFC	So right off the bat, a cheap Brita or Pur filter will get rid of 90% of your scale problem without negatively impacting the alkalinity.
[22:41]	DaemonFC	Now, they have Performance Data Sheets that show they're really good at removing contaminants _of concern_ that the filter is rated to reduce.

[22:41]		*lightbringer has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds)
[22:42]	DaemonFC	And in the case of the basic Brita, there's no lead claim at all. The blue one removes 98-99% of lead.
[22:42]	DaemonFC	The basic one doesn't claim lead at all but independent testing found it's 50-60%. So without even making a claim, it's a lot better than unfiltered tap water.
[22:42]	DaemonFC	And they're really cheap.
[22:43]	DaemonFC	The CEO of ZeroWater is one of the weirdest CEOs outside of "tech" that I've ever seen.
[22:43]	DaemonFC	He promotes the product aggressively and touts its most undesirable features as being why you would spend more money for his product.
[22:51]		*DaemonFC gives voice to qrpnxz
[22:51]	qrpnxz	thanks DaemonFC 
[22:51]	DaemonFC	Yep
[22:52]	qrpnxz	hello all. I'm here because certain people have directed much unsavoury language towards the techrights website, but when i see it I just see a lot of facts and good language.
[22:53]	qrpnxz	and i hear many comments about it being "far-right". Any comments on these allegations?
[22:54]	qrpnxz	And I also saw support for Eben Moglen, which i've just recently seen very childish behaviour against him recently, so I was happy to see that.
[22:54]	qrpnxz	(saw it on techrights)
[22:54]	DaemonFC	I would dispute the fact that I am "far-right". The people who have claimed that I am a "Neo-Nazi" are mostly just head cases and people sent to attack by other people pulling the strings who want deniability.
[22:55]	DaemonFC	"Will NOBODY rid me of this turbulent priest!?"
[22:55]	DaemonFC	If I were to be a Nazi, I'd be a pretty terrible Nazi. I'm a gay man in an interracial marriage.
[22:56]	qrpnxz	This vile article (in language, possibly in content) was also crying about you reporting on those disgusting redhat leaks. Shocking.
[22:56]	DaemonFC	Well, the IBM leaks are disgusting and racist.
[22:57]	qrpnxz	i agree. It is the new religion.
[22:57]	DaemonFC	The CEO himself has put out a sign that basically says White People and Asians Need Not Apply and I'm not at all sure how this is better than "No Coloreds" would be.
[22:57]	DaemonFC	Or any more LEGAL under federal and state employment law, for that matter.
[22:57]	qrpnxz	true
[22:57]	qrpnxz	well it seems that these people were just spewing and lying as expected
[22:58]	qrpnxz	Thanks for reporting on these things.
[22:58]	DaemonFC	These tech companies don't want people to sit and think about reverse racism and misandry being racism and sexism.
[22:58]	DaemonFC	They have "Women's Only Hiring Events" which aren't even legal in the United States. Then they complain that men show up to be interviewed and they have to interview men or get sued.
[22:59]	DaemonFC	I mean, it's just revolting, that they can openly give a middle finger to the Civil Rights Act this way.

[22:59]	DaemonFC	I was tipped off by someone as to the IBM position on the hiring practices.
● Dec 23
[23:00]	DaemonFC	They're not even keeping it close to their chest and they already do face a major civil rights lawsuit by many people they've laid off, including former Red Hat employees.
[23:00]	DaemonFC	And they deserve to lose a lot of money over this. They've already admitted they broke the law.
[23:00]	DaemonFC	All that remains is to show this to a jury and if they actually apply the law and have a fair trial then IBM will lose.
[23:00]	qrpnxz	Indeed. I hope they pay. I hardly ever want to do business with RedHat now
[23:01]	DaemonFC	This will probably all get consolidated into one federal district court.
[23:01]	DaemonFC	IBM is huge with a lot of affected employees over many States.
[23:02]	DaemonFC	So let's just hope that they get consolidated somewhere where the hearing will a fair one.
[23:03]	DaemonFC	There's plenty of federal judges out there that know what the law is, know what the Constitution says, know what the Supreme Court instructed the lower courts to do, and....just don't care.
[23:03]	DaemonFC	And Illinois has been cursed with a lot of that, even in the Southern District.
[23:03]	DaemonFC	So they make a lot of patently incorrect rulings even when the law and precedent are very clear.
[23:04]	DaemonFC	We recently had a federal court in the SD of Illinois rule that the new "Assault Weapons Ban" is legal. This despite the Supreme Court instructing all lower courts that gun control laws have to be decided based on whether this sort of law has a "long history" and is "deeply rooted in tradition".
[23:05]	DaemonFC	Under that standard, how is a law that isn't even that common in the States going back more than 10 years allowable?
[23:06]	DaemonFC	Nobody can decide now if the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 would have passed this standard. It was upheld at the time under a lower standard, but it expired in 2004, so nobody is currently harmed by that law because it doesn't exist.
[23:06]	DaemonFC	But the Civil Rights Act is another issue.
[23:06]	DaemonFC	And I think under recent Supreme Court precedent, like the firefighters in Connecticut, that you'd almost have to rule against IBM.
[23:07]	DaemonFC	Let's just hope the judge cares.
[23:07]	DaemonFC	Otherwise this could be long and drawn out, and go to an appeals court that's not necessarily going to be better.
[23:09]	DaemonFC	You know, laws are laws and every two-bit judge out there it seems wants to bend reality to their own will.
[23:10]	DaemonFC	And when you say "Let's just have judges that do what the laws SAY and what the higher courts SAY." then people who believe in this "living document" nonsense and you know, want to "re-interpret" what someone 200+ years ago might have meant if they were capable of seeing the way we live today...
[23:11]	DaemonFC	This lets the legislative process fall apart because it's easier to just throw everything to a court every generation and let them change the meaning of what the word "is" is.
[23:11]	DaemonFC	If Roe v. Wade had never happened, because the plain meaning of the amendments they "applied" doesn't mean that and never did, the process would have played out at the legislative levels.
[23:11]	DaemonFC	At the ballot boxes.
[23:12]	DaemonFC	People would have had a gradual change and we'd have had to pay more attention to our local governments.
[23:12]	DaemonFC	Throwing things to courts leads to violent upheavals in the fabric of society because the legislature doesn't want to do anything controversial and winks at the judges.
[23:13]	DaemonFC	In the case of the Civil Rights Act, it's one of those "crystal clear" things where you just can't be allowed to do what IBM is doing.
[23:13]	DaemonFC	\
[23:14]	DaemonFC	Yes, the law was passed with the "intent" to get rid of segregated drinking fountains and Whites-only bathrooms, but laws must be applied equally or not at all.
[23:15]	DaemonFC	What IBM is doing is worse than a Whites-only bathroom.
[23:16]	DaemonFC	I think this is what you see when you turn things over on their head and hand the company over to the Harvard MBA.
[23:16]	DaemonFC	The executives at these companies don't ONLY want rid of White people, although they do want that.
[23:16]	DaemonFC	They realize that White people are more likely to be Americans and if they can use diversity as an excuse to purge the Americans they can bring in visa workers more cheaply and touting how diverse IBM is.
[23:17]	DaemonFC	And they can exploit those people horribly by saying work for these terrible wages or we lay you off and you get deported 90 days later.
[23:17]	DaemonFC	Which DOES happen. See Microsoft and Google.
[23:18]	DaemonFC	The answer to a lot of this is pretty simple. We need prevailing wage laws and a fast-lane to permanent resident status even if you came here under a work visa.
[23:18]	DaemonFC	Once that happens, the incentives to do this fall apart mostly unless they do just need some temporary help and it's not an ongoing thing.
[23:19]	DaemonFC	If you have a 180 day job opening and people just want to make some money doing work that's not all that glamorous, then that's what work visas without a path to citizenship should be limited to.
