●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Thursday, September 24, 2026 ●● ● Sep 24 [00:17] ZedHedTed been doing the same thing w/ wheat, but it's not working out as planned [00:18] ZedHedTed turns out cream of wheat is too warm to eat during Summer, and wheat futures have been down lately [00:18] IsambardPrince Well, $9.99 a can is as safe a stock up price for coffee as it gets. [00:18] IsambardPrince It's definitely not dropping below that for a while, if ever. [00:19] ZedHedTed so i got all this cream of wheat that i haven't eaten and the end of 2025's wheat crop is probably just hitting store shelves now [00:20] ZedHedTed $7.67/bushel rn or something. [00:21] ZedHedTed thanks to Trump & Bibi's war with Iran, nitrogen-based fertilizer is harder to come by, which means far less wheat crop output this year. [00:23] *parsifal (~parsifal@tt5tpgza9wvuc.irc) has joined #techrights [00:24] ZedHedTed yess, down to $7.08/bushel today! turns out other factors like increased precip has allayed fears of a wheat famine. [00:26] ZedHedTed if coffee does drop below $9.99, that would have to be 1 less-scammy brand combined w/ a really good coffee bean harvest or something [00:26] ZedHedTed that or a full reset of all fiat currencies. both are unlikely to occur anytime in the next year. [00:27] IsambardPrince Trump "threatened" to buy potash from Belarus. [00:27] *phebus has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [00:27] IsambardPrince Of course he'd rather prop up a Russian satellite state with a dictator than buy it from Canada. [00:27] IsambardPrince God knows I think Canada is a piece of shit country, but it's also not Belarus. [00:30] *phebus (~phebus@y62br8unm5ssk.irc) has joined #techrights [00:30] ZedHedTed i don't even see Belarus as a true country in its own right, other than geographically [00:31] ZedHedTed like, if it has a Russian puppet govt, it's functionally part of Russia but w/ a different name. no? [00:34] IsambardPrince Technically there [00:34] IsambardPrince errr [00:34] IsambardPrince *there is a "Unitary State" on Belarus and Russia. [00:35] IsambardPrince It was a treaty that they agreed to and never really implemented. [00:35] IsambardPrince It was supposed to make Belarus and Russia a single economy with one currency. [00:35] IsambardPrince It would basically make Belarus something like a Russian oblast. [00:37] MinceR it does not only have an orcish puppet government, on paper it's "allied" with muscovy in ways even the other puppet states of putler aren't [00:37] *IsambardPrince has quit (connection closed) [00:39] *IsambardPrince (~IsambardPrince@n36xja56svxec.irc) has joined #techrights [00:44] ZedHedTed damn [00:48] IsambardPrince How Orcish is the new Hungarian administration, MinceR? [00:48] MinceR not sure [00:48] MinceR they don't seem to be as bad as i expected them to be [00:53] IsambardPrince I made the cats a special treat. [00:54] parsifal You have a rather mistaken idea about the relationship between Lukashenko and Putin. Lukashenko regularly makes a fool of Putin, even though strictly speaking he polishes his boots. [00:54] parsifal A case in point is the customs dispute regarding trade flows between the two countries, as well as claims of non-compliance with GOST standards for goods exported from Belarus to Russia, and so on. [00:54] IsambardPrince I mixed some hardboiled egg with some crushed up Temptations cheese, chicken, and catnip treats, and then mixed in one of those chicken flavored moist treats. [00:54] parsifal The West's perception of Belarus is filtered through the distorted lens of *John Wick*, Baba Yaga, and other such low-brow nonsense. For the record, I am not Belarusian. [00:55] *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) [00:55] *FANTOM has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [00:55] *includeals (~includeal@2001:8a0:e95c:e00::2000) has joined #techrights [00:55] MinceR lukashenka allowed putler to move his army through belarus; iirc, he even let putler use some communication infrastructure in his genocidal campaign until ukraine threatened to attack it [00:57] MinceR beside the aforementioned "Union State", both states are also members of the CIS, the Eurasian Economic Union and the CSTO [00:58] MinceR s/army/military/ [00:59] parsifal These are political games and nothing more. Nothing serious will ever be done. ● Sep 24 [01:03] MinceR the genocide is pretty serious [01:09] parsifal What genocide? If we are talking about the oppression of his own people, that is understandable -> the man is a dictator, but not a fool who would go up against NATO. [01:09] parsifal Lukashenko is an old fox compared to Putin. [01:12] MinceR the genocide of ukrainians [01:15] parsifal I haven't heard of Belarusian units directly participating in the Russian operation on Ukrainian territory, but as for Belarus providing logistical support to the Russiansyes, that is the case. [01:18] admfubar https://www.theregister.com/systems/2026/09/23/europes-fastest-supercomputer-is-finally-getting-its-domestic-silicon-infusion/5298665 [01:18] TR Bot Europe's fastest supercomputer is finally getting its domestic silicon infusion [01:21] admfubar https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/09/owners-mourn-spoiled-food-after-firmware-update-bricks-samsung-smart-fridges/ [01:21] TR Bot Owners mourn spoiled food after firmware update bricks Samsung smart fridges - Ars Technica [01:21] admfubar https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/09/disney-decides-it-hasnt-angered-people-enough-announces-disney-price-hikes/ [01:21] TR Bot Disney decides it hasnt angered people enough, announces Disney+ price hikes - Ars Technica [01:35] IsambardPrince MinceR, The Handmaid's Tale (the Hulu series) is weak in a lot of places. [01:35] MinceR i haven't seen it yet [01:35] MinceR nor read it yet [01:35] IsambardPrince I think the part I disliked most was the raid that the remnant of the United States made into Gilead. [01:36] IsambardPrince There's this one episode where they send in commandos to parachute in, kill some Guardians, and do a rescue operation. [01:36] IsambardPrince They sent in three planes and as soon as they cross over the border from Canada, they get shot down by anti-aircraft missile batteries. [01:37] IsambardPrince The series makes Gilead strong, or weak, or strong again, depending on which episode you're watching. [01:37] IsambardPrince They inherited most of the US military's assets when they took over most of the mainland after the coup. [01:38] IsambardPrince A raid like that would never happen. There would need to be AWACS assets in the air, there would have to be fighter jet escorts going out ahead, taking out enemy aircraft or missile batteries. [01:39] IsambardPrince I don't care how desperate the remnant US government was, it would never do a suicide mission like that without support units and better intelligence. [01:39] IsambardPrince Colorado is pretty deep into Gilead territory to try to pull that off. [01:40] MinceR it totally could, if it had a leader like the pedophile king :> [01:41] IsambardPrince The United States was not just overthrown. [01:41] IsambardPrince It turned into something very much like Gilead before they initiated the actual coup. [01:41] MinceR and it's already happening [01:41] IsambardPrince In an Aunt Lydia flashback, she mentioned that she used to be a family court judge "until it was privatized". [01:42] IsambardPrince When she calls child protective services on an "unfit single mother" they interview Lydia (who was then a school teacher), and the CPS investigator asked whether the mother attended church and pried into her dating life. [01:43] IsambardPrince In DCFS investigations, the parents have legal rights and due process. [01:43] IsambardPrince The line "until it got privatized" was pretty chilling. [01:43] MinceR if they still do, it's going away [01:43] MinceR the government's been wiping its ass with the constitution for decades [01:43] IsambardPrince It says in one "blink and you'll miss it" moment, that there's no due process. The parents are now presumed guilty and have to justify that they're a churchgoing family with "traditional values". [01:43] MinceR "rule of law" is just what statists tell you to try to convince you to agree to being owned [01:45] IsambardPrince I got ambushed the other day when someone asked me to pray over dinner and I froze. It had been over 30 years since I prayed for anything expecting that there might be divine intervention. [01:45] IsambardPrince It's like Carlin said, that he was Catholic, but that he grew out of it eventually. [01:45] IsambardPrince When everything you pray for ends up not happening....I mean, who still prays when none of it goes through? [01:46] IsambardPrince You get desperate again, you pray, it's another disaster. [01:46] IsambardPrince Every time that happens, some of your belief gets chipped away until there's none left. [01:46] IsambardPrince You pray for sick people or a dying pet, then they die. [01:47] IsambardPrince You pray that you have something to eat, you go without dinner again. [01:47] IsambardPrince You pray that your marriage works, it doesn't. [01:47] IsambardPrince You pray for your health, it fails. [01:47] MinceR maybe people are praying for the wrong things [01:48] IsambardPrince You pray that our leaders come to their senses and that people stop being so shitty and violent. [01:48] MinceR if someone prays that parasites infect the eyes of children and make them blind, well, that totally happens [01:48] IsambardPrince War breaks out everywhere. [01:48] MinceR maybe there is a "God", it just happens to be pure evil [01:48] IsambardPrince These prayers don't make you a bad person. You genuinely want a better world. [01:48] MinceR honestly, i could interpret abrahamic ideas in 2 ways: either they were absolutely clueless about what morality even was, or they just wanted an evil god [01:48] IsambardPrince But you pray for things and then you witness how the world works. [01:49] IsambardPrince It's worked that way forever, your prayers aren't nudging anything. [01:49] IsambardPrince I mean, maybe it makes people feel better, but it's a waste of time. [01:49] IsambardPrince Sure, a lot of things are technically wasted time. [01:50] MinceR we may yet live to see all of human existence turn out to be just a waste of resources [01:56] IsambardPrince Maybe. ● Sep 24 [02:09] IsambardPrince MinceR, My partner asked why I am buying up coffee whenever it goes on sale. I said "It's a non-negotiable item. It didn't matter how shitty my life was on any particular period of time, there was always a cup of coffee in the morning. I don't want to get backed into a corner where it's not on sale, I'm out, and it's $25 or however much they want by then." [02:10] IsambardPrince Last time I went on a buying spree I got so much that it's been nearly three years and I still have like 4.5 more cans from that. [02:10] IsambardPrince I remember reading abouut how the 1970s coffee shortages played out in East Germany. [02:10] IsambardPrince Nobody wanted their currency so they ended up trading munitions for coffee. [02:11] IsambardPrince And there still wasn't enough so they issued ration packets that were half coffee, half filler. [02:12] IsambardPrince That stockpile I bought three years ago got me through a lot of this recent price gouging. [02:15] MinceR :> [02:18] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [02:21] IsambardPrince They print expiration dates on the cans but as long as the vacuum seal is intact the flavor doesn't change much. [02:21] IsambardPrince I mean I guess 5-10 years later it could turn into something totally gross. [02:25] IsambardPrince I remember going into the optometrist office in 2018 to get glasses and he asked when the last time I had an eye exam was and I said "1992", he looked at me strangely and said "You haven't had proper eye care then." [02:26] IsambardPrince I wanted to say "Well when half the time you can barely pay your rent, stuff gets moved to the side." [02:27] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights [02:32] IsambardPrince When you're an eye doctor that makes plenty of money you just can't fathom why someone would go 26 years between eye exams. [02:34] IsambardPrince If you get an eye exam and glasses and those come out to $300, where does the electric, gas, and phone bill get paid from? [02:35] IsambardPrince Then there was mom's second husband, Brian, the one that was smoking three packs a day and drinking refrigerators of beer. [02:35] IsambardPrince To finance his bad habits he just never went to the doctor or the dentist. He flat-out got lucky that his teeth didn't rot out. [02:36] IsambardPrince When my mom prodded him to get his teeth cleaned in 2001, he said he went in 1985. [02:36] IsambardPrince It took them four appointments to get his teeth cleaned, and after one of them he spat out what he thought was part of a tooth into the sink. [02:36] IsambardPrince And it was a piece of calcified plaque they loosened. [02:46] TR News Yesterday's #boycottnovell-social and #techpol IRC logs ready.

[19:03] IsambardPrince If thousands of violent men with guns who have a police uniform on are stalking women with Flock, do you really think there's this big firewall that keeps that data from ICE just because it's in a contract? [19:03] IsambardPrince One reason the police suck is that out of millions of angry, violent little men with guns that are living in America, a lot of them end up in policing because having control over other people appeals to a dangerous psychopath or a sadist. [19:03] IsambardPrince They were always abusing their position with the tech they had at hand, but unlike tossing GPS in the wheel well of some woman's car, Flock actually logs what they're doing, and people who ended up becoming cops are so stupid they get caught doing that anyway. [19:03] IsambardPrince Makes you wonder about why we let people so stupid that they do illegal shit in a system that logs every keystroke into that uniform and give them a gun and authority in the first place, right?
