| schestowitz | his bankster at DB has left | Dec 24 00:00 |
| schestowitz | so it might be "either this or I go to prison" | Dec 24 00:00 |
| schestowitz | Rackspace has just spammed me | Dec 24 00:02 |
| schestowitz | they used xmas as an excuse | Dec 24 00:02 |
| schestowitz | they apparently have my work email address because I responded to someone there | Dec 24 00:02 |
| schestowitz | "To resubscribe or view and edit your subscriptions to other publications from Martin Blackburn, visit the Subscription Center" | Dec 24 00:02 |
| schestowitz | They apparently pass in bulk people's emails to third parties now | Dec 24 00:03 |
| schestowitz | I might start to refuse to participate in those "clown" platforms altogether | Dec 24 00:03 |
| schestowitz | as they cannot commit to data protection | Dec 24 00:03 |
| schestowitz | like rackspace with their "clown" panels | Dec 24 00:03 |

| psydroid | Google Clown Sell-out Director | Dec 24 00:05 |
| schestowitz | but they still spam people who did not even access their systems for like half a decade | Dec 24 00:05 |
| schestowitz | psydroid: did they outsource to google clown? | Dec 24 00:05 |
| schestowitz | clown engine they call it, iirc | Dec 24 00:05 |
| psydroid | schestowitz: I went to this Google Cloud Summit thing in 2018 and talked to people from Rackspace, so I think they have some "partnership" (master/slave relationship most likely) | Dec 24 00:06 |
| psydroid | Clown* | Dec 24 00:06 |
| schestowitz | It would not surprise me if they just partition themselves parts of datacentres | Dec 24 00:07 |
| schestowitz | to get closer to people's local IPs | Dec 24 00:07 |
| schestowitz | it's hard to just compete with one or two DCs in Texas | Dec 24 00:07 |
| schestowitz | Amazon has a whole empire of DCs | Dec 24 00:07 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-wikileaks.org | WikiLeaks - Amazon Atlas | Dec 24 00:07 | |
| psydroid | Google has several DCs here, Microsoft too and Amazon is probably also working on some | Dec 24 00:08 |
| psydroid | there were problems with many flights being delayed at Schiphol airport due to the power grid not being able to deliver enough power for the airport to refuel planes | Dec 24 00:10 |
| psydroid | so these DCs are already having major negative impact on other industries by their mere existence | Dec 24 00:10 |
| schestowitz | a lot of them do crap | Dec 24 00:11 |
| schestowitz | like "data-mining" | Dec 24 00:11 |
| schestowitz | for imperialism and social control | Dec 24 00:11 |
| schestowitz | they reckon it's hard to control so many countries and billions of people | Dec 24 00:12 |
| schestowitz | so they copy China | Dec 24 00:12 |

| MinceR | (and deutsche bank's as well, while we're at it) | Dec 24 00:13 |
| schestowitz | IMF isn't the capital holder | Dec 24 00:18 |
| schestowitz | the people who oversee the wealth are | Dec 24 00:18 |
| schestowitz | ECB is run by a criminal now | Dec 24 00:19 |
| schestowitz | Lagarde | Dec 24 00:19 |
| schestowitz | she was convicted | Dec 24 00:19 |
| schestowitz | but not arrested | Dec 24 00:19 |
| schestowitz | but the wealth (or "capital") continues to flow through shadow ("offshore") accounts | Dec 24 00:19 |
| schestowitz | so all the decision-making and powers are concentrated in very few hands | Dec 24 00:20 |
| schestowitz | so the system itself needs resetting | Dec 24 00:20 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: what's the plan if Mandy lost his job? | Dec 24 00:20 |
| schestowitz | I mean, even if small shops went belly-up, Walmart can't make much more money when people have less money left to spend on luxury "goods" | Dec 24 00:21 |
| schestowitz | they're just grifting off national debt for now (food stamps, stimulus..." | Dec 24 00:21 |
| schestowitz | UK branches of Walmart, like some Sainsburys shops, are shutting down | Dec 24 00:21 |
| schestowitz | boarded up, i.e. for good | Dec 24 00:21 |
| schestowitz | esp. around city center where office goers used to shop before/during/after work | Dec 24 00:22 |
| schestowitz | like buying a lousy two-piece 'sandwich" (processed, preservatives aplenty) and a "drink" (chemicals with water to dilute them) for like 5 times more than they're worth and cost to make | Dec 24 00:23 |
| schestowitz | people buying lots of bread loaves and butter isn't profitable | Dec 24 00:23 |
| schestowitz | the margins are too small | Dec 24 00:23 |
| schestowitz | they will automate shelf stocking, they already have robot prototype deployed | Dec 24 00:24 |
| schestowitz | and they make queues artificially longer to encourage people to become their own cashiers, at their own risk and at expense of their time | Dec 24 00:24 |
| schestowitz | I'm sure it's the same in the US as it is here | Dec 24 00:25 |
| schestowitz | and it's all "good" now... "coz corona" | Dec 24 00:25 |
| schestowitz | so human jobs at Walmart are a short-term plan basically | Dec 24 00:25 |
| schestowitz | and you need to already think past that "honeymoon" period" | Dec 24 00:25 |

| MinceR | there's global warming, there's developing increasingly powerful weapons of mass destruction and putting them into the disposal of religious fundamentalists | Dec 24 02:01 |
| MinceR | there are various crises that overpopulation will eventually cause (along with global warming) | Dec 24 02:01 |
| MinceR | which will lead to wars using the aforementioned WMDs | Dec 24 02:01 |
| MinceR | there's the rise of religious zealotry which leads to a world where increasingly minute differences in religious beliefs will be seen as reason for extermination so that the conflict can go on | Dec 24 02:02 |
| MinceR | humans can probably also do this on the basis of race and maybe even gender | Dec 24 02:02 |
| vZS1 | People, in general, don't want to die. It's not likely to be war. It's probably going to be something like climate change. Something people casually ignore until it's too late. Then the planet turns into something like Tatooine | Dec 24 02:04 |
| MinceR | people are also, in general, incredibly stupid | Dec 24 02:06 |
| MinceR | while they don't want to die on the short term, they do a surprising amount of things that ensures their deaths on a longer term | Dec 24 02:06 |
| MinceR | they are also vulnerable to religion and ideology which are leveraged by psychopaths to get people to murder each other | Dec 24 02:07 |
| MinceR | sure, they're trying to kill the other guy, but they can't both succeed and not die | Dec 24 02:07 |

| schestowitz | it seem to be getting too huge | Dec 24 12:39 |

| schestowitz | yes, I did not cover that same point much | Dec 24 13:20 |
| schestowitz | I was talking in broader term | Dec 24 13:20 |
| schestowitz | it's half a gig video | Dec 24 13:20 |
| schestowitz | I don't have tools handy to compress it | Dec 24 13:21 |

| vZS1_2 | I'll get on it now. Will not be around for a while after this afternoon. | Dec 24 13:21 |
| schestowitz | whether people's metered connection can is another matter | Dec 24 13:21 |
| schestowitz | it will take more hours only to upload it. I think I'm throttled upstream due to the raspi with ipfs | Dec 24 13:21 |
| vZS1_2 | IPFS is much better for videos. I'd recommend using that instead. | Dec 24 13:21 |
| schestowitz | capped at no more than about 30kb/sec | Dec 24 13:22 |
| vZS1_2 | Check how much bandwidth you have to start out with. You've got to account for everything uploading. | Dec 24 13:22 |
| *rianne_ has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Dec 24 13:23 | |
| vZS1_2 | You won't see much bitrate on IPFS unless someone is actively fetching an object from you. The rest of the traffic is probably just DHT. | Dec 24 13:23 |

| schestowitz | Walmart UK is better known here as "Sainsburys" and/or "ASDA" | Dec 24 16:09 |
| schestowitz | to make it sound like you "buy local" | Dec 24 16:09 |
| schestowitz | and "support British" | Dec 24 16:09 |
| vZS1_2 | Ohhhh | Dec 24 16:09 |
| vZS1_2 | I didn't know that | Dec 24 16:09 |

| schestowitz | you thought they were still british? | Dec 24 16:09 |
| vZS1_2 | No | Dec 24 16:09 |
| vZS1_2 | I just didn't know in general | Dec 24 16:10 |

| schestowitz | razielle_tzu: question | Dec 24 16:13 |
| schestowitz | you're around york | Dec 24 16:13 |
| schestowitz | did you see boarded up sainsburys lately? | Dec 24 16:13 |
| schestowitz | we have loads here | Dec 24 16:13 |
| schestowitz | esp. the ones we used to see in centre of town near office spaces | Dec 24 16:13 |
| razielle_tzu | i've not left my little coastal town since last year | Dec 24 16:14 |
| schestowitz | mayeb they want to live people with no other choice, eventually, but buying food from warehouses | Dec 24 16:14 |
| schestowitz | razielle_tzu: soon "2 years ago" )) | Dec 24 16:14 |
| razielle_tzu | yeah' | Dec 24 16:14 |
| schestowitz | we last left Manc in January | Dec 24 16:14 |
| razielle_tzu | checking the ones that were left in hull after some of the little stores got sold to tesco (under the name one-stop) and others would be easier | Dec 24 16:15 |
| schestowitz | "Following the demise of its merger with Asda, Sainsbury's unveiled a reorganisation that includes closing a number Argos stores and opening branded shops within its supermarkets." | Dec 24 16:15 |
| schestowitz | Until months ago I did not know about the Argos connection | Dec 24 16:15 |
| schestowitz | Had I known, I'd have shopped elsewhere | Dec 24 16:15 |
| razielle_tzu | i didn't either until just now | Dec 24 16:15 |
| schestowitz | the us calls it "consolidation" | Dec 24 16:16 |
| schestowitz | a euphemism | Dec 24 16:16 |
| razielle_tzu | of course | Dec 24 16:16 |
| schestowitz | for "conglomeratisation" | Dec 24 16:16 |
| schestowitz | few people owning everything | Dec 24 16:16 |
| schestowitz | media, shops, food coming from massive industrial farming with GMO crap instead of crops | Dec 24 16:17 |
| schestowitz | but they put different labels on shops and products | Dec 24 16:17 |
| schestowitz | so you still get the sense you can "stick it to the man" | Dec 24 16:17 |
| razielle_tzu | badly done gmo is shit, but gmo as a whole isn't. i mean... corn, sheep, carrots and lots of other stuff are gmo | Dec 24 16:17 |
| schestowitz | like buying a "natural" drink... when if you look at the back turns out to have been silently acquired by Coke | Dec 24 16:17 |
| schestowitz | Most place now offer "many drinks" | Dec 24 16:18 |
| schestowitz | all from the same supplier | Dec 24 16:18 |
| schestowitz | often pepsico or coke | Dec 24 16:18 |
| schestowitz | even the water and orange juice | Dec 24 16:18 |
| schestowitz | they buy some brand, or some factory | Dec 24 16:18 |

| schestowitz | and then no matter what drink you choose, you pay the same oligarchs | Dec 24 16:18 |
| schestowitz | razielle_tzu: they get patents on the GMO | Dec 24 16:19 |
| schestowitz | and then they sue farmers | Dec 24 16:19 |
| schestowitz | more to it than just plain health | Dec 24 16:19 |
| schestowitz | and pesticides | Dec 24 16:19 |
| razielle_tzu | the patents need to die but i'm talking about the crops themselves rather than the practice behind them not being the problem | Dec 24 16:19 |
| schestowitz | many aspects to it | Dec 24 16:20 |
| schestowitz | a decade ago techrights wrote LOADS about it | Dec 24 16:20 |
| schestowitz | but there are like half a dozen separate issues | Dec 24 16:20 |
| razielle_tzu | yeah | Dec 24 16:20 |
| schestowitz | the main one, to me, if how GMO 'revolution' was leveraged for monopoly | Dec 24 16:20 |
| schestowitz | few people 'owning' the food supply | Dec 24 16:20 |
| schestowitz | bill gates is one of them | Dec 24 16:20 |
| schestowitz | became lots richer this past year | Dec 24 16:21 |
| schestowitz | and he's controlling many of the gmo shilling bodies | Dec 24 16:21 |
| schestowitz | the gmo lobby tries to make it opponents seem like antivaxxers | Dec 24 16:21 |
| schestowitz | people who want to kill and starve the world | Dec 24 16:21 |
| schestowitz | " | Dec 24 16:22 |

| schestowitz | Asda cites 'Brexit uncertainty' as sales fall | Dec 24 16:22 |
| schestowitz | " | Dec 24 16:22 |
| schestowitz | no panic-buying then, eh, asda? | Dec 24 16:22 |
| schestowitz | "The ban also applies to US giant Walmart, which is not allowed to acquire any interest in Sainsbury's as long as it still owns part of Asda." | Dec 24 16:22 |
| schestowitz | So it looks like the waltons might sell asds to buy sainsburys | Dec 24 16:23 |

| razielle_tzu | which i hate but i'll put up with for now as it's all i could really get at the time | Dec 24 16:44 |
| vZS1_2 | Because look at what's happening with web browsers | Dec 24 16:44 |
| vZS1_2 | People are forced into a few | Dec 24 16:44 |
| vZS1_2 | And they take whatever data they feel like | Dec 24 16:44 |
| vZS1_2 | If you block that in the hardware, they can suck their thumbs | Dec 24 16:44 |

| schestowitz | here comes the CAPTCHA | Dec 24 16:45 |
| schestowitz | and then clownflare will check its naughty list | Dec 24 16:45 |
| schestowitz | and the browser | Dec 24 16:45 |
| schestowitz | and sniff your home activity history | Dec 24 16:45 |

| vZS1_2 | I don't think you need to replace the www. TR's media coverage of the story is what's more important imo | Dec 24 17:06 |
| vZS1_2 | People will start complaining and rejecting things they see exposed on TR | Dec 24 17:06 |

| vZS1_2 | Yeah | Dec 24 17:08 |
| vZS1_2 | schestowitz: try uploading the video to IPFS. Should play in the browser if it's an ogg file. | Dec 24 17:10 |
| vZS1_2 | I think you said you save as ogg, IIRC | Dec 24 17:11 |
| vZS1_2 | You can try with a small test video file | Dec 24 17:12 |
| schestowitz | usually the files are vastly smaller | Dec 24 17:14 |
| schestowitz | this one came out massive, almost half a gig | Dec 24 17:14 |
| schestowitz | I actually wonder how well it can stream in various countries, that's half an hour long, so about 150MB/10 minutes or 15MB/min | Dec 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz | moments ago I saw the site doing a gigabyte in 30 secs | Dec 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz | some people downloading bill gates deposition tapes | Dec 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz | groklaw used to host these | Dec 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz | we made a copy before that site went offline for good | Dec 24 17:15 |
| vZS1_2 | Why don't you put them up on IPFS | Dec 24 17:15 |
| vZS1_2 | It's way more logical | Dec 24 17:16 |
| vZS1_2 | Than HTTP | Dec 24 17:16 |
| schestowitz | I'd need to put large file on a raspi | Dec 24 17:16 |
| schestowitz | limited space on there | Dec 24 17:16 |
| vZS1_2 | You should have a USB3 port on the Pi4 | Dec 24 17:17 |
| schestowitz | I cleared up as much as I can, esp. for one year or two of bulletins and irc logs | Dec 24 17:17 |
| vZS1_2 | Worth getting an external HDD for it | Dec 24 17:17 |
| vZS1_2 | For big files | Dec 24 17:17 |
| schestowitz | I have that, but I don't want to mount drives non-step | Dec 24 17:17 |
| schestowitz | not good for he magnets | Dec 24 17:17 |
| schestowitz | also not safe, I have full backups on all my drives | Dec 24 17:17 |
| schestowitz | only my main laptop plugs into these, temporarily | Dec 24 17:17 |
| schestowitz | they're air-gapped | Dec 24 17:18 |
| vZS1_2 | Get a dedicated drive some time | Dec 24 17:18 |
| schestowitz | it would cost more than the pi | Dec 24 17:18 |
| schestowitz | and for media files? seems unreasonable? also more power usage | Dec 24 17:18 |
| vZS1_2 | Pretty negligible for this hardware | Dec 24 17:19 |
| vZS1_2 | It'll reduce your reliance on third-party hardware you don't control | Dec 24 17:19 |
| vZS1_2 | You won't notice the cost of a drive or two in a few years | Dec 24 17:19 |
| schestowitz | I can use one of the older and smaller drives | Dec 24 17:20 |
| schestowitz | but for now I don't want extra wiring and sockets | Dec 24 17:21 |
| schestowitz | it's on microsd | Dec 24 17:21 |
| schestowitz | now it is in good casing too | Dec 24 17:21 |
| schestowitz | with HATs on | Dec 24 17:21 |
| vZS1_2 | You can do compression pre-upload. That should save a lot of space in the long run | Dec 24 17:22 |
| vZS1_2 | I recommend xz | Dec 24 17:22 |
| schestowitz | I just need to solder in the buttons some time... can't get my hands on a soldering kit at the moment | Dec 24 17:22 |
| vZS1_2 | People using IPFS won't mind decompressing a video | Dec 24 17:22 |
| schestowitz | 20,500 video (ogv only) downloads since sunday | Dec 24 17:23 |
| schestowitz | just checked | Dec 24 17:23 |
| vZS1_2 | Might be less effort to just monitor your pi over SSH | Dec 24 17:23 |
| schestowitz | if my upload speeds are low | Dec 24 17:23 |
| schestowitz | how would a local pi serve fast enough? | Dec 24 17:23 |
| schestowitz | it needs to come through a datacentre | Dec 24 17:24 |
| vZS1_2 | People download the video and watch it | Dec 24 17:24 |
| vZS1_2 | Like a torrent | Dec 24 17:24 |
| vZS1_2 | pretty simple | Dec 24 17:24 |
| schestowitz | not EPO workers | Dec 24 17:24 |

| vZS1_2 | Pretty sure you can watch an IPFS file in the browser anyway | Dec 24 17:25 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I don't think this is undoable, and the good news is that the appointment time is 11:45 AM this time so I don't have to wake up at a truly uncivilized hour of the morning to get into Chicago and into their office by 8:15 AM like our original appointment. | Dec 24 18:21 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I think two. The sequel came out in 2019, but I think the first one was published in 1989. | Dec 24 18:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So obviously they had to update it to make the TV series fit into a dystopian near-future that started out as Trumpism and the Proud Boys and ICE playing to these idiots that eventually launched a decapitation strike on the US government and set up a theocracy/dictatorship. | Dec 24 18:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Mom didn't get it when she asked what I thought I was doing last year marrying Mandy in the middle of all of that. | Dec 24 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And I said, "Getting myself into deep shit.". | Dec 24 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've had to thread the needle a lot more than this in court and in the bankruptcy proceedings. | Dec 24 18:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I can handle a deposition without fucking up. I'm just hoping that Mandy can. | Dec 24 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've been trying to explain it to him that this process is not going to be close to fair and that one wrong answer can be the end of it, but I don't think he gets it. | Dec 24 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | To stop myself from panicking I just keep saying to myself, again and again, "Imagine what would have happened had you gone in there in April, and had to tell them that he was unemployed, you had a mountain of debt and were currently serving probation, and that you were living in a motel.". | Dec 24 18:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When you think about things from that angle, whatever happens in January will be better than THAT. | Dec 24 18:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's what no lawyer wanted to touch. And Maricel was so stupid, so intent on getting immediate satisfaction so that she could laugh like a lunatic who ought to be tied up in an asylum somewhere, had to brag about her plan when she could have just shut up, sabotaged it, and I would have been "informed" after it was too late. | Dec 24 18:39 |

| schestowitz | that's partly why Facebook is toxic and self-harming | Dec 24 19:20 |
| schestowitz | case studies | Dec 24 19:20 |
| schestowitz | -"books" (photo albums) with an "ex" | Dec 24 19:20 |
| schestowitz | they never go away, people can reshare them | Dec 24 19:21 |

| schestowitz | -holidays and days out with selfies get you fired for refuting "sick leave" narrative | Dec 24 19:22 |

| schestowitz | -you cannot leave the site because you're attached to communications "on there" (already shared to FB partners, which include Microsoft... many people still don't know Microsoft gets all this data) | Dec 24 19:23 |
| schestowitz | that data never goes away, even if you delete it and delete the whole account | Dec 24 19:23 |
| schestowitz | there are many more, but the above just came to mind fast | Dec 24 19:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now Social Security can go over your Facebook profile to gather evidence against a disability claim. | Dec 24 19:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Lawyers say make everything private, but that doesn't mean the governemnt won't just use their backdoors and read everything anyway. | Dec 24 19:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nobody who is disabled is allowed to go clean their gutters out. Someone might snap a picture. They can't smile. It might be seen on Facebook. | Dec 24 19:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And of course this is all a ruse for the government to gather excuses to get its budget under control on the backs of people who are depressed but go to someone's birthday party and pretend they're happy for a few minutes. | Dec 24 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or clearing out their gutter because $1,000 a month doesn't let them hire someone and they'll be in pain for the next week because of it. | Dec 24 19:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's like Maricel saying you can both live on an unemployment check while I rob you blind. | Dec 24 19:30 |

| DaemonFC[m] | You know the government is. The court will say you have permission to do something and then the probation department will get your phone records and try to get you in trouble anyway. | Dec 24 19:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It is kind of what they do. They see their job as trying to put people in violation so that the state can take another shot at them. | Dec 24 19:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's why only 10% of people get off probation as scheduled. I mean, some fuck it up recklessly, but they go sifting through everything trying to get you into more trouble. | Dec 24 19:37 |

| agentmarkie | XRevan86 that not true, runoffs only happen in a handful of states | Dec 24 20:18 |
| XRevan86 | agentmarkie: Yes, explains why it's a term I hear so rarely. | Dec 24 20:18 |
| agentmarkie | XRevan86 well it's not rare when it's repeated 24/7 in news cycles | Dec 24 20:20 |
| agentmarkie | XRevan86 out of 50 states a runoff is only happening in 1. | Dec 24 20:21 |
| agentmarkie | XRevan86 what is more rare that that funny man? | Dec 24 20:22 |
| XRevan86 | Saw a video on Vox on the topic, they briefly mentioned what it is and then shitted on it for its implementation in Georgia being racially motivated. The logic checks out (a consolidated vote does win FPTP after all), but as a strong proponent of true majority wins I'm disappointed they made this accent showing it as something borderline evil. | Dec 24 20:24 |
| XRevan86 | If it doesn't serve immediate $PARTY_NAME interests then it's bad. | Dec 24 20:25 |
| agentmarkie | XRevan86 I think it's a stupid rule too but states are allowed to have stupid laws and people | Dec 24 20:25 |
| XRevan86 | A democrat would've won a FPTP election in Georgia, ergo a second tour is bad. | Dec 24 20:25 |
| XRevan86 | agentmarkie: I think that FPTP is extremely easily gamed. | Dec 24 20:26 |
| agentmarkie | XRevan86: I think we're all getting a wake up call | Dec 24 20:27 |
| XRevan86 | agentmarkie: I guess Vox doesn't really get it yet. | Dec 24 20:27 |
| agentmarkie | XRevan86: Maybe not, they're not that high on my list either. | Dec 24 20:28 |

| XRevan86 | Could be a minority with just one candidate (consolidated), could be United Russia, could be the Republican Party. | Dec 24 20:40 |
| XRevan86 | The sheep of propaganda tend to be very consolidated as well, so FPTP is a big party present to them. | Dec 24 20:41 |

| DaemonFC[m] | She certainly wouldn't do anything good for us if she possessed that information. | Dec 24 21:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But we should have time to compile everything they requested. | Dec 24 21:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not really a laundry list. It's things like bank records and marriage certificate and pay stubs and ID proving I'm a US citizen, so nothing I wasn't expecting. | Dec 24 21:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What I'm more concerned about is Mandy not being able to sit through a deposition and tell them what they want to hear and nothing more. | Dec 24 21:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, it's like any other legal process. | Dec 24 21:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Don't lie, don't be evasive, but don't volunteer anything they didn't ask for and keep your answers short. | Dec 24 21:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I hear they like to play gotcha games. | Dec 24 21:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like some people go in there and under pressure they can't remember their wedding day, or they can't remember what their first date was or what day it was on. | Dec 24 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Lawyers say it's better to just honestly say "This is embarrassing but I honestly cannot recall the specific day." than to have conflicting answers. | Dec 24 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Obviously it's better to just go in there and remember what day you got married and what you did on your first date and how you met. I mean, it's basic stuff. Saying you forgot is bad, but getting caught flubbing answers is worse. | Dec 24 21:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And you are under oath, so anything you say that can be proven false is potentially criminal. | Dec 24 21:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was warned by the person who prepared our petition that if they are really skeptical they can separate you and then they'll tell the citizen "You know, we know this is fake. If you just admit it we can make sure you won't get in trouble.". | Dec 24 21:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I really don't think they'll do that but I already have a response if they do. | Dec 24 21:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "I love my spouse and that is why I married him. I can't control what you believe, but this marriage is real and I have done nothing wrong. I can't stop you from doing whatever it is you decide to do next, but I am prepared to deal with whatever it is because I made a promise to him in a court in front of a judge and I am bound by that regardless of where this proceeding goes.". | Dec 24 21:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | First of all, it's true. | Dec 24 21:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Secondly, they're lying about there being no consequences if you admitted to a crime. | Dec 24 21:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So persisting is the only logical step. | Dec 24 21:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The entire reason they say something like that is because people who really are faking it and aren't strongly committed to their spouse would use that as an opportunity to try to bolt, and then they'd get slapped with criminal charges after having admitted to a crime. | Dec 24 21:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's just a variation on the police saying if you confess now we can clear this all up at the station. | Dec 24 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In fact, I was talking with our petition preparer about that. I said, "Lots of people in jail because the cops convinced them they could clear it all up down at the station....and they did.". | Dec 24 21:45 |

| DaemonFC[m] | All of a sudden, it's trendy to comment on how great it is to lose half your application performance to emulation or, at best, have a native build of something like Firefox perform no better on the M1 than it does on a Tiger Lake Intel PC laptop. | Dec 24 23:18 |
| psydroid | It's because they don't realise Linux on x86 gives them the same performance as crapOS on M1 and M1 only looks good because it runs crapOS better | Dec 24 23:22 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Mozilla hasn't put much work into optimizing the Linux port. They still view it as unimportant. | Dec 24 23:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They've turned on and worked out the kinks in WebRender on Windows with most graphics cards and resolutions. | Dec 24 23:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But on Linux, not so much. | Dec 24 23:36 |
| smnthermes | It also has a weaker sandbox on Linux | Dec 24 23:37 |
| psydroid | If they do all of their development on crapOS, they will never be able to optimise it properly for Linux | Dec 24 23:38 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I'm honestly surprised that Movies and TV and Groove Music are optional on Windows 10. | Dec 24 23:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I compared playback performance of Movies and TV and VLC on a 10-bit HEVC file and they both did about as well as far as CPU usage, but VLC was clearly better in the "If I pause it and come back, it doesn't sometimes jitter and lag until I close and reopen it." department. | Dec 24 23:45 |
| vZS1 | Microshit can't just rip off Linux and claim they made it because it's GPL and not behind a clown service. That's why they are forced to "<3 Linux" | Dec 24 23:46 |
| vZS1 | They would just do what crApple did with FreeBSD, otherwise. | Dec 24 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Maybe they could just use VLC as the basis for a media platform that works. Who knows? | Dec 24 23:47 |
| MinceR | maybe if they could just do what crApple did to FreeBSD and Mach, they wouldn't have taken over Linux | Dec 24 23:47 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Well, the underlying OS components on the Mac haven't been significantly upgraded in years. | Dec 24 23:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They just get tossed around with a new coat of paint and idiots eat it up and stuff. | Dec 24 23:48 |
| vZS1 | A lot of these media players are built with VLC code as a reference | Dec 24 23:48 |
| vZS1 | Because VLC is industry standard | Dec 24 23:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | VLC gets a lot of its codecs from FFMpeg. | Dec 24 23:49 |
| vZS1 | Has been _the_ reference implementation for a while but e | Dec 24 23:49 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They actually weren't even aware that they could play WavPack files. | Dec 24 23:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | FFMPeg refused a simple patch that would have added WavPack DSF/DSD support. | Dec 24 23:50 |
| vZS1 | Isn't VLC meant to be used more as a streaming program? | Dec 24 23:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You can use it like that, but it can play local files too. | Dec 24 23:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's certainly how I've always used it, especially on Windows. | Dec 24 23:50 |
| MinceR | i think originally it was meant as a client for their video streaming server, but i don't know how much emphasis is on that now | Dec 24 23:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because the other option were pirate codec packs with viruses in them. | Dec 24 23:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or at least managed to break Windows somehow. | Dec 24 23:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The done thing with Windows is to leave the built in components alone and find something else. | Dec 24 23:51 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They have these stupid headphone dongles like Apple now, but still support SD cards at least. | Dec 24 23:53 |
| MinceR | they tried to get rid of the memory card slot too | Dec 24 23:53 |
| MinceR | i guess their customers drew the line there | Dec 24 23:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I remember back when iTunes was new and I wanted to try out AAC because Apple said it was better. | Dec 24 23:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I encoded one file as 128k MP3 and one as 128k AAC with iTunes. | Dec 24 23:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And then I went "I really can't tell the difference.". | Dec 24 23:54 |
| vZS1 | XRevan86: what did I just read. My eyes....... | Dec 24 23:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | For a long time, the multi-format listening tests showed that Apple's AAC wasn't doing better than LAME. | Dec 24 23:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Eventually it did do a little better, statistically, but not for more than a decade after Apple said they were using it because it massively outperformed MP3. | Dec 24 23:56 |
| vZS1 | > they tried to get rid of the memory card slot too | Dec 24 23:56 |
| vZS1 | Don't most phones come with fixed memory now? | Dec 24 23:56 |
| vZS1 | Or is this something else | Dec 24 23:57 |
