[03:23] MinceR this laptop is also supposed to be more powerful than the old one and yet i'm seeing performance issues with web, so i'm curious about how that will turn out with other BSDs and GNU/Linux [03:24] MinceR it could still be mostly power management issues [03:24] ahoy i mean we both know openbsd is slower because security security security security [03:24] ahoy or even more accurately mitigation mitigation mitigation mitigation [03:24] MinceR yeah, but that much? [03:24] ahoy as a fan, it wouldnt surprise me. the web is crap too [03:25] ahoy crap + a mountain of mitigations = slow + slower [03:25] MinceR when i download a large image in a web browser and have it show, it's noticeably very slow and loads the system very heavily [03:25] MinceR just a large jpeg [03:25] ahoy its like when you mix caffeine and alcohol. whoops, maybe that whole category of metaphors is a bad idea [03:25] MinceR i suppose it would be easier if i ran other heavy applications on this thing besides the web [03:25] MinceR but everything else i use on this machine is pretty light [03:25] ahoy but they do combine unpredictably, says webmd which is the fountain of all medican knowledge [03:26] MinceR playing full hd movies worked fine [03:26] ahoy yeah same here-- i mean what could i install to compete for resources with the web browser? total-information-awareness? [03:27] ahoy (which is probably on github now) [03:27] ahoy hopefully they at least use a private repo [03:27] ahoy i think if you want a real explanation though, activelow has some ideas that might provide clues [03:28] ahoy like gutting things that dont require hw acceleration-- then making it so proprietary software is needed to make the acceleration work [03:28] ahoy thats a great way to attack free software [03:28] ahoy and the desktop isnt a priority for openbsd, which is exactly why im attracted to it [03:29] *techrights_guest|42 (~3f8d3032@54n9xgft8g6u2.irc) has joined #techrights [03:30] MinceR well, i suppose if i make my FPGA dev board-based laptop, i won't have a lot of hw acceleration anyway [03:30] ahoy i use the gui of course (and yes, it was installed by default) but whats important is that the kernel and userspace arent unmaintainable [03:30] MinceR the "modern" web probably won't work on it at all [03:30] ahoy sounds like a feature [03:30] ahoy when i use the web i often avoid both css and images, not to mention scripts [03:30] MinceR well, OpenBSD certainly has an attraction on the desktop for me: running X as nonroot without any of the proprietarydesktop crap that's normally used for this purpose [03:31] ahoy /me checks if x is actually running as non-root [03:31] MinceR runs as _x11 here [03:32] IPFS QmX3rMb63HxLvj9FqPyymwV4TDWUAY1bdbtXfufZPb287E [03:32] IPFS New daily bulletin has just been added to IPFS, hereon retrievable with the CID above. [03:32] ahoy yeah here too [03:32] ahoy fun [03:33] ahoy so heres the latest on the fsf: [03:33] ahoy theyve cancelled the entire organisation and replaced it with reruns of "yes, minister" [03:33] ahoy theyve done to the board what osi just did less than a year ago [03:33] MinceR lol [03:33] ahoy and no one has noticed (or at least mentioned it) [03:34] ahoy if you look at the new "code of ethics" for the board-- which is the only authority rms has now [03:34] ahoy the board has no power, its only got SPIRIT! LETS GO! S-P-I-R-I-T! SPIRIT! [03:34] ahoy so they really have found a nice niche for him. im against this of course, but i wont sugarcoat it [03:35] MinceR well, they got all the support from the community, afaict [03:35] MinceR if they insist on being irrelevant and useless, it's on them [03:35] ahoy and the community answers to lieplanet [03:35] ahoy agreed [03:35] ahoy but this is bad for gnu at least [03:35] ahoy and unfair to rms, not that we can stop them [03:35] MinceR they decided to use an irc network in part run by people who wanted to cancel them for a large part of their official public communications anyway [03:35] MinceR they can't be helped [03:36] ahoy mainly i think its useful to document what theyre doing [03:36] ahoy yeah well the irc network they chose is really an example of a very broad theme of more of the same [03:36] ahoy lieplanet has a loyalty oath. gnu.fools has a loyalty oath. actual gnu still doesnt, but guix runs that too [03:37] ahoy im eager to see what lea.h (no need to summon) has planned. im not saying it will bowl me over, though it wouldnt have to try hard to be better than what lieplanet is up to [03:38] ahoy im guessing theyre going to announce the new leader this month (if there is ever going to be one) [03:38] MinceR i faintly remember talks of a federation that would be more difficult to attack than the FSF was [03:38] ahoy theres really not much for knauth to do-- or anyone else in his position now [03:39] ahoy i faintly remember talks of a federation that would be more difficult to attack than the FSF was <- oh i remember that very clearly [03:39] ahoy maybe leah will help build that [03:39] ahoy the nice thing about a federation is that anybody can get it started [03:39] ahoy of course when i talk about federation im thinking p2p authority, not centralised like starfleet. so maybe its not even the right word [03:39] ahoy im not bothered [03:40] ahoy voluntarily linked mini-organisations that collaborate as it suits them [03:40] ahoy meritocracy (maybe not the best word these days, only because no one likes it- im not offended by it) moved from individual level up to org level [03:41] MinceR :> [03:41] MinceR i may be misremembering the terminology [03:41] ahoy i mean the actions matter more. so do the motivations [03:41] ahoy rms alwasy put too much stock in terminology. only the ultra left really believes that verbs and adjectives change everything [03:42] ahoy i do think free software was a better trademark than fake free software [03:42] ahoy it was a line of demarcation-- but the difference is what mattered, not the gematria or phrasing exactly [03:42] MinceR well, words don't do everything, but it's often a good idea to pick them carefully [03:42] ahoy one stood for freedom, the other didnt. if one was called boogers and the other was called... well, let mg sort out the colourful phrases [03:44] ahoy whehter we actually build a federation or not, the future of free software is exodus [03:44] ahoy its already been scattered. today we are slaves of github, but tomorrow we may be truly... actually tomorrow looks pretty bad for now [03:45] ahoy im not entirely pessimistic. wasnt it edison that said genius is 1% inspiration and 99% fuck this already? theres still that 1% [03:46] AdmFubar the 99% was stealing other ideas [03:46] ahoy and credit! [03:46] ahoy but yes [03:46] ahoy if you dont steal the credit, the ideas are only half-stolen [03:46] ahoy you might as well steal a tv and go back for the remote [03:47] MinceR the 99% was discrediting competitors using better technology, apparently [03:47] MinceR edison was an asshole in a suit [03:47] ahoy and the first eulas [03:48] ahoy im pretty sure bill gates has a picture of edison on his ceiling [03:48] ahoy one of the ceilings anyway [03:48] AdmFubar no bill wants to steal all of edisons credit.. [03:48] ahoy i thought that was elon [03:48] MinceR i don't want to know what bill gAIDS has on his ceiling [03:49] ahoy hey guys, i invented a service where you can "email" physical... [03:49] ahoy "thats called the post" [03:49] ahoy "oh yeah, damn" [03:52] ahoy if the dead guy from the eff were around, or the one they just booted out, he would say that people will react to the sfs like an internet node and route around it [03:52] ahoy fsf ^ [03:52] ahoy which they probably will eventually [03:53] ahoy the question is how much longer are they going to flog a dead horse before they realise its actually dead [03:54] ahoy ive been making dead parrot jokes about it for 3 years now [03:54] MinceR another question is how long is the community going to just let the suits take over free software projects using the SJW troll armies [03:55] ahoy the sjws, while not a non problem-- you have to understand, i never subscribe to the "we dont have to do anything because it will take care of itself" argument [03:55] ahoy its like saying a wildfire or housefire will burn itself out. it will, of course [03:55] ahoy thats a really stupid way to fight (most) fires [03:56] ahoy i mean some things are actually better left alone. but often thats the worst way to resolve a crisis before... [03:56] ahoy i mean look at it this way: its crystalmaths solution to covid. what else do i have to say? [03:57] ahoy note hate for crystalmath, though i dont hate america quite that much [03:57] ahoy no hate ^ [03:57] ahoy im not in love either, theres a happy and cynical medium [03:58] ahoy the sjws will of course destroy themselves [03:58] ahoy they eat their own. look at linus. trumped by his own... jim is worse [03:58] ahoy linus did it to free software, zemlin did it to linus [03:59] ahoy if he were around, edison would do it to zemlin [03:59] MinceR was linus an sjw before they got to him? didn't seem like that to me [03:59] ahoy mostly? no, not at all [03:59] ahoy but um, that thing where he said "free software is about hate" was a pretty sjw moment [03:59] ahoy i dont think that was really HIS idea ● Feb 26 [04:00] ahoy my point wasnt really that hes an sjw [04:00] ahoy hes open source-- and open source, like sjws, eat their own [04:00] ahoy thats the main comparison [04:00] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 22.85 k/sec., IPFS upstream 4.96 average k/sec., average swarm size 272.45 [04:02] ahoy you know where the former sjws are headed, yes? [04:02] ahoy its not about race or marginalisation anymore (actually im sure it will be for a long time) [04:02] ahoy the next theme is NICENESS [04:02] ahoy everybody is going to be NICE. [04:02] MinceR interesting, i missed that story [04:02] ahoy yeah they havent published it yet [04:02] ahoy call it a prediction [04:03] MinceR well, it seems to me that several former SJWs have become marginalized [04:03] MinceR bully deblanc lost her job [04:03] ahoy open source eats their own [04:03] MinceR matthew gafam seems to be out of favor [04:03] ahoy molly exists at the confluence of sjw and open source [04:03] ahoy so the sjw theme is dying off (a bit at least) [04:04] ahoy and you need a theme to take its place, so im calling it now: NICENESS [04:04] ahoy think tienammen square [04:04] ahoy the song "shiny happy people" came from a chinese propagdanda poster [04:04] ahoy which at least was put together by people who could tpye. [04:04] MinceR so torvalds caved to the SJW CoC in 2018, but he already caved on the utterly horrid hype-V code and talked shit about people wary of MICROS~1 back in 2009 ( https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2009/07/linus-torvalds-microsoft-hatred-is-a-disease/ ) [04:04] TR Bot Linus Torvalds: Microsoft hatred is a disease | Ars Technica [04:04] MinceR good to know [04:05] ahoy shiny happy people is going to be the theme of lieplanet 2023, because its too late to retheme the 2022 oen [04:05] MinceR https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Happiness_Is_Mandatory [04:05] TR Bot Happiness Is Mandatory - All The Tropes [04:05] ahoy im blaming rubber domes for all of these typos. ive never used a mechanical, but im blaming rubber domes anyway [04:05] MinceR :> [04:06] *techrights_guest|42 is now known as eskimo [04:06] ahoy this is actually the nicest (still cheap) rubber dome kb ive ever owned [04:07] ahoy but i can tell the "c" key is already more shy than the others [04:07] ahoy not surprising when the "c" isnt even visible on it anymore [04:09] MinceR PBT keycaps are more resistant to wear than ABS keycaps [04:09] ahoy i should scan and 3d print replacements [04:09] ahoy after getting a 3d scanner and printer of course [04:10] ahoy but what a cool hack that would be for a $20 keyboard [04:10] ahoy only cost a few thousand to dix [04:10] ahoy ok now its just messing with me [04:10] ahoy while im at it can i move the d farther from the f [04:11] CrystalMath ahoy: i don't really hate america, i just hate what they do [04:11] ahoy i never discovered i had dyslexia until i got a keyboard [04:11] ahoy i hate what american does too of course [04:12] ahoy i mean its got a mixed bag of a history-- genocide is never a great start [04:12] ahoy slavery [04:12] ahoy microsoft... [04:13] ahoy epstein was american? [04:13] CrystalMath i hate the hypocrisy the most [04:13] CrystalMath and this "nobody thinks otherwise" mentality [04:13] ahoy america should be banned from wars until they promise to only do it for good reasons [04:14] CrystalMath like... yes, tehre's always someone who thinks otherwise [04:14] ahoy but thats basically what the un is (allegedly) for, and you see how thats turned out in practice [04:14] CrystalMath there are people who think they should die, they commit suicide, so we're not even united on the idea of life [04:14] CrystalMath we're never united and we will never be [04:14] CrystalMath unless something monstrous like mind control happens [04:14] MinceR speaking of hypocrisy... [04:14] ahoy my problem with suicide is its never the right people-- or the right time [04:14] MinceR you keep talking about how horrible the things usians and ukrainians do, but apparently serbia has the right to commit any atrocity they feel like [04:14] ahoy like hitler was the right person-- but he was awful about procrastinating. thats just the most obvious example [04:14] kingoffrance mind control always happens. religion: let me program you magician: ill do it myself [04:15] MinceR and when someone tries to stop them, those people are satan? [04:15] ahoy epstein is a more recent one-- he waited too long, plus he didnt do it at all [04:15] kingoffrance as annoying as it is to squabble about words, that what words are -- thought control. conway's law :D [04:15] kingoffrance dont go down the path of lee ....that's the dark side... [04:16] ahoy /me controls his own thoughts using conways law [04:16] MinceR nationalism is a terrible drug [04:16] kingoffrance :) [04:16] CrystalMath MinceR: what? [04:16] ahoy isnt conways law also thought control? [04:16] kingoffrance yes [04:16] CrystalMath MinceR: i did say kosovo has a right to be independent too [04:16] ahoy we dont need no thought control [04:16] CrystalMath MinceR: i don't like what serbia did back then in that case [04:17] MinceR CrystalMath: so why do you have a hateboner on the USA again? [04:18] ahoy worse of 4 evils [04:18] ahoy even though im sceptical [04:18] CrystalMath MinceR: afghanistan, iraq, vietnam, libya especially, syria [04:18] ahoy there are many things i dislike about the usa [04:18] ahoy being worse than china isnt one of them, for reasons that should be obvious [04:18] MinceR i guess my memory is really poor because that's not what i seemed to recall [04:19] ahoy funnily enough i agree with all of crystalmaths reasons [04:19] ahoy just not the conclusion (or the sum) [04:20] ahoy i mean i feel pretty much the same about afghanistan, iraq, vietnam, libya, syria [04:20] ahoy how fair (or unfair) is it to blame every country that relies on oil for this? not necessarily equally of course, thats certainly not fair [04:20] ahoy when the british for example, condemn the usa, my first thought is "so youll stop following them to every bullshit war, right?" [04:21] ahoy no, because... who are we kidding [04:21] ahoy but the condemnation is still based on an honest assessment. still, we already agreed that hypocrisy is a terrible offense, so... [04:22] ahoy but hypocrisy is worse when usa does it (and it might actually be, because some are bigger hypocrites than others) but still [04:22] ahoy its hard to rate all these things. we might need hey hi [04:22] CrystalMath MinceR: and also, if it was okay to attack serbia, you must also say that it's okay to attack ukraine [04:23] ahoy 3% cat, 40% hypocrite, 200% oil profits [04:23] CrystalMath MinceR: otherwise you're a hypocrite, it's the same situation [04:23] CrystalMath i don't like what ukraine is doing [04:23] MinceR CrystalMath: what are ukraine's crimes against humanity? [04:23] MinceR not what putler alleged, because that's pure bullshit [04:23] CrystalMath blocking the water supply to crimea is pretty inhumane [04:23] MinceR and? [04:23] CrystalMath bombing the donbass region every day [04:23] CrystalMath striking children's hospitals [04:24] MinceR bombing russian invaders in donbass is a crime against humanity? [04:24] CrystalMath it's just people [04:24] MinceR what are they supposed to do, lie down and ask to be taken as slaves? [04:24] MinceR anything else? [04:24] CrystalMath no, accept their freedom and independence from ukraine [04:24] MinceR oh, right [04:24] MinceR being owned by putler is "freedom and independence" now [04:24] ahoy crystalmath: youre against the occupation of palestine, right? [04:25] MinceR like how stalinists tell me i'm supposed to be grateful for the russians because they took over from the germans [04:25] CrystalMath otherwise, one could also say "bombing albanian invaders in kosovo is a crime against humanity?" [04:25] CrystalMath ahoy: absolutely [04:25] MinceR "yay, i have a new owner now!" [04:25] MinceR fuck that. [04:25] MinceR anything else? [04:25] ahoy be careful when disagreeing with stalinists, theyve got icepicks [04:25] MinceR lol [04:25] CrystalMath MinceR: how do you not see the hypocrisy? [04:25] MinceR i don't care about the ice picks, i'm worried about the WMDs [04:26] MinceR so anyway, what i've seen about serbia were ethnic cleansing, genocide and a policy of rape [04:26] MinceR it seems that ukraines alleged crimes are minuscule compared to what the serbs did [04:26] CrystalMath serbia was not even accused of those things [04:26] MinceR uh huh [04:26] CrystalMath you're probably mistaking us for the serbian republic [04:26] CrystalMath which is a bosnian breakaway state [04:26] MinceR great [04:27] CrystalMath it still exists [04:27] CrystalMath as an autonomous part of bosnia [04:28] MinceR somehow massacres, ethnic cleansing, systematic rape, unspecified "crimes against humanity" and genocide still come up [04:28] MinceR during the "yugoslav wars" [04:28] ahoy minxer: with luck they cut as many corners with the weapons as they did in the stolovayas [04:29] ahoy mincer: [04:29] MinceR conveniently, milosevic died before a verdict could be reached about him [04:30] ahoy the people who actually needed the weapons got lower grade plutonium and the officers took most of it home for themselves [04:30] MinceR ahoy: i suspect even dirty bombs could do horrible things [04:30] MinceR hell, putler's apparently preparing to blow up the power plant in chernobyl [04:31] MinceR he went right for it and there was greatly increased radiation [04:31] ahoy i guess hes given up on his smug superiority that he lords over the west and decided "if you cant beat them, beat them" [04:32] kingoffrance ahoy: i should say i favor of von neumann machines, code is data, data is code, reflective. story of mel :) [04:32] ahoy maybe this will push the people under him to be more enthusiastic about fixing the problem at the root [04:32] ahoy please dont get me wrong-- im not an optimist [04:33] MinceR i don't think this will be fixed [04:33] ahoy i mean there were nazi officials that tried to get rid of hitler [04:33] MinceR the west is just backing away, leaving millions of people to slavery [04:33] ahoy unfortunately their knowledge of ballistics was far inferior to a couple of guys on cable television [04:34] MinceR and even if vladolf was assassinated, i have no doubt that there are plenty of monsters just like him who are ready to take his place [04:34] ahoy fair point, but even if they were 10% less horrible, that might be just enough to end these tactics, if not the war [04:34] ahoy i mean, quite literally, not everyone is putin [04:35] ahoy a lot of my logic is based on standup comedy. the only difference is im not kidding [04:35] MinceR he has soldiers who will just drive over a car with their tank for fun [04:35] MinceR with someone in the car [04:35] ahoy i mean im not ready to joke about ukranian lives, im really hoping for a good outcome against all odds. [04:35] MinceR his soldiers have no reservations about taking over a nuclear power plant [04:35] ahoy but that doesnt make me an optimist [04:35] MinceR it was a prime target [04:35] MinceR these are barbarians [04:36] MinceR they do not understand being asked nicely to leave [04:36] MinceR they do not understand sanctions [04:36] ahoy or they simply dont care [04:36] ahoy or theyre all hostages of an insane leader [04:36] ahoy or all of the above [04:36] MinceR and yet that's what the UN and the NATO and the EU are trying to use to stop him [04:36] MinceR the only thing they understand is nuclear bombardment [04:37] ahoy the un has done a marvelous job of looking busy and useful decade after decade after decade [04:37] ahoy to be fair, we are still here. to be more accurate, just barely [04:38] CrystalMath MinceR: Miloevi was charged with secretly aiding the serbian republic [04:38] CrystalMath he wasn't guilty, really [04:38] ahoy the un is part of the reason that drones are so important [04:38] CrystalMath you may have seen other names, like Radovan Karadi [04:38] CrystalMath that was the *president* of the serbian republic [04:38] ahoy drones can be conventional, and like you say, the un isnt smart enough to figure what to do with that [04:39] ahoy "well um... we could put sanctions on batteries!" [04:39] MinceR i haven't seen the UN as useful in a long time [04:39] MinceR especially after seeing what the WIPO has done against us all [04:39] ahoy theyre very useful in a theoretical way [04:39] ahoy yeah wipo is my favourite part of the un [04:39] MinceR or the WHO, which is just spreading the propaganda of whoever pays them the most [04:39] MinceR which currently happens to be red china [04:40] CrystalMath <@MinceR> they do not understand being asked nicely to leave [04:40] CrystalMath <@MinceR> these are barbarians [04:40] CrystalMath yeah when i'm angry i say the same things about ukrainians! [04:40] CrystalMath but i'm sure it's not really true [04:40] ahoy at least roger waters is against the occupation of palestine [04:40] ahoy but thats floyd, not the who [04:41] CrystalMath MinceR: was ukraine not asked nicely to leave donbass alone? [04:41] CrystalMath they had 8 years [04:41] MinceR CrystalMath: was russia not asked nicely to leave donbass and crimea alone? [04:42] MinceR humans are pretty horrible in general, but i think putler and his lackeys are a special kind of savage evil [04:42] CrystalMath MinceR: and let the people get slaughtered? [04:42] CrystalMath MinceR: okay, why didn't the US then leave serbia and kosovo alone [04:42] CrystalMath the separatists would get slaughtered, that's what you want [04:42] CrystalMath BUT YOU CAN'T WANT IT IN ONLY ONE CASE [04:42] CrystalMath that's what i can't stand [04:42] CrystalMath you can want it in both cases, or none [04:42] CrystalMath for me, it's none [04:42] ahoy i think putler and his lackeys are a special kind of savage <- mincer: the kind that has that much power. thats generally what creates such people [04:43] MinceR CrystalMath: why didn't serbia leave kosovo alone? [04:43] CrystalMath MinceR: why didn't ukraine leave donbass alone? [04:43] ahoy stalin didnt set out to be one of the most outstanding arseholes in the history of civilisation [04:43] ahoy he sort of fell into it [04:43] ahoy im not excusing him [04:43] ahoy power gets to people [04:43] CrystalMath MinceR: be consistent please [04:43] MinceR CrystalMath: there's a difference between separatists wanting to be independent and russians pretending that people want the area to belong to russia [04:43] MinceR ahoy: i suspect stalin was special too [04:43] ahoy all he had to do was shoot himself and it would have saved europe untold amounts of trouble [04:44] ahoy he could have also retired [04:44] ahoy and im sure he would have carved out a nice plan for himself [04:44] MinceR none of this stupid shit would have happened if people didn't accept the principle of people getting to run other people's lives [04:44] ahoy but nearly unlimited power is obviously addictive and people dont want to let go of it [04:45] MinceR people getting to own other people [04:45] ahoy none of this stupid shit would have happened if people didn't accept the principle of people getting to run other people's lives <- its very difficult to have a government without that though [04:45] ahoy almost by definition [04:45] MinceR that's the thing [04:45] MinceR we shouldn't have governments [04:45] MinceR we should have megacorporations and churches either [04:46] MinceR we should aspire to be adults who run their own lives [04:46] ahoy while i actually agree with you completely on that, our ideal method of getting away from that would probably differ substantially [04:46] ahoy mine is extremely counterintuitive [04:46] MinceR i don't know if there is a method for humans [04:46] ahoy if there is, its tricky [04:46] MinceR there are way too many stupid humans and way too many humans with the authoritarian personality type [04:46] ahoy both true [04:48] ahoy those are also both problems that are notoriously difficult to change [04:48] CrystalMath MinceR: donbass wants to be independent [04:48] ahoy is there any chance that donbass was legitimately (not sure what that means in this context) a part of the ukraine? [04:48] MinceR says who? [04:48] CrystalMath MinceR: the people there [04:49] CrystalMath these are basically "anti-maidan" people [04:49] MinceR and how is it that we haven't heard of it before russia decided to send their little green men into ukraine? [04:49] CrystalMath we heard of it in 2014 when they declared independence [04:49] MinceR "anti-maidan", in other words, russian puppets? [04:49] CrystalMath russia did not recognize them [04:49] CrystalMath no [04:49] CrystalMath there are people who are not russian puppets and who are anti-EU [04:49] CrystalMath look at brexit [04:49] CrystalMath are they russian puppets? [04:49] MinceR curious how they didn't think to declare independence without russian soldiers being around [04:49] CrystalMath brexit and anti-maidan is the same [04:49] MinceR brexit? they're blithering idiots [04:50] CrystalMath that's your opinion [04:50] MinceR and some of them are starting to realize how hard they fucked up [04:50] ahoy my problem with the donbas thing-- and its not something im following closely [04:50] CrystalMath i think brexit is right [04:50] CrystalMath i'm very much pro-brexit [04:50] MinceR the "conservatives" told lots of lies about what brexit would accomplish [04:50] ahoy is it reminds me of certain people in palestine who also want to be "independent" [04:50] MinceR and they were proven to be lies by reality [04:50] MinceR but go ahead and ignore reality [04:50] ahoy and by "independent" i mean "controlled by israel" [04:50] CrystalMath at least no doofus started a eurosquare [04:50] MinceR live in a dream world [04:50] ahoy and most of palestine doesnt want to be annexed [04:51] ahoy but some are "independent" [04:51] CrystalMath MinceR: imagine there was a eurosquare and anti-brexiters forcefully couped the government [04:51] MinceR just don't be too surprised when reality finally shatters your illusion [04:51] CrystalMath and then a part of england filled with brexiters wanted to secede [04:51] CrystalMath maidan is ukrainian for square [04:51] ahoy if donbass is anything like palestine, and russia is anything like israel... [04:51] MinceR CrystalMath: maybe stop imagining things, stop reading/watching putler's propaganda and try to find out what really is out there [04:51] CrystalMath ahoy: donbass wants to be in russia rather than the EU [04:51] CrystalMath MinceR: what i know is that *I* don't want to be in the EU [04:51] CrystalMath if i was british, i would be pro-brexit [04:51] MinceR then move? [04:51] CrystalMath i'm not in the EU [04:52] ahoy crystalmath: but according to whom, is the question [04:52] CrystalMath but like, here 51% doesn't want to be in the EU [04:52] CrystalMath why should WE move? [04:52] ahoy i mean, theyre obviously not unanimous on it [04:52] ahoy so there has to be some other assessment [04:52] CrystalMath ahoy: the majority voted for an anti-EU government... that was couped! [04:52] ahoy which seems to be being played out right now with death [04:52] MinceR then don't become EU members, who cares [04:52] MinceR maybe there will be a serbia-shaped hole in the EU and you'll get to pay levies [04:53] ahoy ahoy: the majority voted for an anti-EU government... that was couped! hmm [04:53] CrystalMath MinceR: there's a good chance the puppets the west places here will force us in [04:53] MinceR in CrystalMath's world, every election is perfectly free and fair [04:53] CrystalMath then what? [04:53] CrystalMath ahoy: yes, euromaidan is the whole problem with ukraine [04:53] MinceR CrystalMath: well, if elections can't fail, then stop worrying about it [04:54] ahoy mincer: whats wrong with the vote for the anti-eu government? [04:54] CrystalMath MinceR: EU support in the polls hovers around 50% [04:54] MinceR if the majority doesn't want serbia to join the EU, those alleged puppets won't get to control serbia [04:54] CrystalMath MinceR: sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down [04:54] MinceR ahoy: nothing, i don't care [04:54] CrystalMath our leaders are pretending to be pro-russian [04:54] CrystalMath just like yours are pretending to not be [04:54] MinceR ahoy: if they want difficulty with borders and they want a crippled economy, they should go ahead with it [04:54] CrystalMath MinceR: also, why should the will of the 49% be squashed? [04:55] CrystalMath if we just split, we would all be happy [04:55] MinceR CrystalMath: hungary hasn't had free or fair elections since 2010 [04:55] ahoy ah, that answers my question [04:55] MinceR CrystalMath: by your rhetoric, if we finally executed a revolution and got rid of putler's puppet, that would be a "coup" [04:55] ahoy oh wait, hungary. no it doesnt [04:55] CrystalMath MinceR: yes it would be [04:55] MinceR ah, so you do support orban [04:55] MinceR well, then we don't have anything to discuss anymore [04:55] CrystalMath MinceR: well it's the definition isn't it? [04:56] CrystalMath maybe not all coups are bad [04:56] MinceR go sit with the other fidSS fans [04:56] CrystalMath what is that even [04:56] ahoy no, some coups are definitely good [04:56] ahoy i think so far, the majority of them were definitely crap [04:56] MinceR fidesz = fidSS = fideath = hungarian communist party = hungarian nazi party = the hungarian representatives of united russia and the communist party of china [04:57] MinceR anyway, it's well past my bedtime, i shouldn't argue with authoritarians any more [04:57] ahoy also having "death" in the name of your party is terrible branding [04:57] CrystalMath ahoy: it's probably called fidesz [04:57] MinceR they didn't put it there, i did [04:57] ahoy oh okay [04:57] CrystalMath that's pronounced as an s [04:58] MinceR they call themselves "alliance of young democrats" and every word of that is a lie [04:58] CrystalMath a single s without z in hungarian is sh [04:58] ahoy fideath also looks incredibly irish [04:58] CrystalMath MinceR: except for "of" [04:58] CrystalMath :P [04:58] ahoy thanks for clarifying crystalmath [04:58] CrystalMath so it sounds kinda like "fideath" if you pronounce it (but using the english th) [04:58] MinceR for a while they tried to rebrand as "hungarian party of citizens" or whatever, and that would have been a lie too ● Feb 26 [05:00] CrystalMath i'm reading about them, they say they're anti-communist [05:00] ahoy isnt everybody [05:00] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 23.71 k/sec., IPFS upstream 23.58 average k/sec., average swarm size 272.44 [05:01] CrystalMath "Marxist ideology led to the death of tens of millions and ruined the lives of hundreds of millions. The celebration of its founder is a mockery of their memory." [05:01] CrystalMath from a letter from fidesz [05:03] ahoy i used to think horseshoe theory was incredibly useful, but its far too oversimplified [05:03] ahoy stalin literally worked together with hitler anyway [05:03] CrystalMath "We must state that we do not want to be diverse and do not want to be mixed: we do not want our own colour, traditions and national culture to be mixed with those of others. We do not want this. We do not want that at all. We do not want to be a diverse country." - Viktor Orbn [05:04] CrystalMath well... this... is a little too anti-communist [05:04] CrystalMath heh [05:04] ahoy we do not want to be diverse <- that could get very messy [05:04] ahoy all my best friends are diverse [05:06] ahoy we do not want our own colour, traditions and national culture to be mixed with those of others <- when you assume all your traditions are "native" its only one step away from modern copyright laws [05:06] CrystalMath "The government has often propagated Fidesz's political ideas in tax-funded advertisements, putting up posters portraying a grinning George Soros, while calling on the citizens to oppose his purported support of illegal immigration (many of the posters portraying Soros, who is Jewish, were defaced with antisemitic graffiti)," [05:07] CrystalMath "Additionally, various party members have been accused of antisemitism." [05:08] CrystalMath they don't like jews, they don't like race mixing, hmm [05:08] ahoy it does sound a bit familiar [05:08] ahoy hitler may have worked with stalin [05:08] ahoy he also killed A LOT of communists [05:08] ahoy as did stalin, of course [05:09] CrystalMath interesting that you mentioned it, because, there was actually an anarchist commune ruling the area now known as donbass [05:09] CrystalMath Lenin first pretended to be on their side, then crushed them and absorbed them into the soviet union [05:10] ahoy communists and anarcho communists tend to not agree on important issues [05:10] CrystalMath it was the historic Novorossiya [05:11] ahoy ultimately communists want communism then anarchy, and anarcho communists want anarchy, then communism [05:12] CrystalMath the separatists in donbass in 2014 wanted to form a novorossiya federation [05:12] MinceR 26 060042 < CrystalMath> i'm reading about them, they say they're anti-communist [05:12] CrystalMath for some reason, they never even joined it themselves [05:12] MinceR oh, yes [05:12] ahoy when did lenin crush the commune there? [05:12] CrystalMath ahoy: 1918 [05:13] CrystalMath ahoy: the communists declared it a part of the ukrainian soviet republic [05:13] MinceR as we know, one of the primary things you can expect from "anti-communists" is to appropriate public funds to build a "university" (called Fudan) on prime real estate which requires its staff and students to obey the law of red china and to be loyal to the CPC [05:13] MinceR very anti-communist. [05:13] ahoy thats the problem with wanting to do something and having a really terrible plan [05:14] MinceR although i've already heard from some idiot that the CPC is not communist [05:14] MinceR maybe the communists are anti-communists too! [05:14] ahoy it always depends what you mean by communist [05:14] CrystalMath MinceR: communists generally don't accept it [05:14] CrystalMath they call it fascist / state capitalist [05:14] ahoy communists are invariably anti-communist [05:14] MinceR orban also likes to pose as the guy who sent the russians out of the country [05:14] ahoy just like many christians are against all other forms of christianity. well, ok not exactly like that [05:14] ahoy but theres a certain degree of similarity [05:14] MinceR 20 years later he's sucking off putler and nobody bats an eye [05:14] CrystalMath would be funny if the communist party of china said it's anti-communist [05:15] ahoy i mean if you tell china youre a communist [05:15] MinceR i don't know if there's a form of life on earth that's stupider than the average fideath follower. [05:15] ahoy and youre against what china is doing [05:15] CrystalMath ahoy: that's still off to the gulag [05:15] ahoy theyre DEFINITELY against that (and probably most) kinds of communisty [05:15] ahoy its not like you just say " [05:15] CrystalMath if you say, i'm an anti-communist but i like what you're doing [05:15] CrystalMath they don't seem to mind [05:16] CrystalMath they build a university in your country [05:16] MinceR well, red china is now buddies with orban, putler and the talibans [05:16] MinceR nothing matters to these sociopaths except owning slaves [05:16] CrystalMath i also recognize the islamic emirate of afghanistan [05:16] MinceR and fucking up people's lives [05:16] CrystalMath and accept the taliban as its leaders... [05:16] ahoy communisty <- im ditching the rubber dome excuse and going to say ive been hacked by professor unwin instead [05:16] CrystalMath that doesn't mean i "support" the taliban [05:16] CrystalMath but i believe they have a right to do their own thing [05:17] MinceR it does sound a hell of a lot like you do [05:17] CrystalMath i'm VERY happy that the US left [05:17] ahoy you dont seem like a big taliban fan [05:17] MinceR oh yeah [05:17] MinceR they have a right to do their own thing [05:17] CrystalMath absolutely [05:17] MinceR their subjects? not so much [05:17] MinceR fuck them. [05:17] CrystalMath i want every corner of this earth to have different laws [05:17] ahoy yeah us involvement in the middle east rareley improves anything, unless youre an industry of some kind [05:17] CrystalMath some part must then have sharia law [05:17] MinceR who cares about most of the afghans? [05:17] MinceR i want every corner of this universe to have no laws in that sense [05:17] CrystalMath since they fought for decades to have sharia law [05:17] MinceR maybe you should move there and be subject to sharia [05:17] CrystalMath it makes sense for that one part that must have it to be, well, that part [05:18] MinceR find out how delightful it is. [05:18] CrystalMath i'm not a muslim [05:18] MinceR who cares [05:18] MinceR ? [05:18] CrystalMath but muslims who support it can do that [05:18] ahoy everyone has a great reason for going to war. they just usually dont actually go for those reasons [05:18] CrystalMath and i'm for that, that they can, you know? [05:18] MinceR did anyone ask the people living in afghanistan if they were muslims? [05:18] MinceR did anyone ask the people enslaved by religious fundamentalist states if they agree with the religion of their oppressors [05:18] MinceR ?? [05:18] MinceR that's the whole point [05:18] CrystalMath they can move out [05:18] ahoy dont worry, lieplanet will bring unity [05:18] MinceR lol [05:18] CrystalMath it's not forbidden [05:19] MinceR yeah, they can get killed trying to escape [05:19] ahoy everyone will sign the code of conduct [05:19] MinceR like people trying to escape east berlin [05:19] CrystalMath ahoy: not me! [05:19] CrystalMath ahoy: never unity! always division [05:19] ahoy why do you hate unity? [05:19] MinceR CrystalMath: it really sounds like you haven't thought of this much [05:19] CrystalMath MinceR: it's not forbidden to leave [05:19] CrystalMath MinceR: the taliban allow it [05:19] ahoy unity is awesome. everyone should agree, its so much nicer. i mean agree with me personally. [05:20] MinceR which unity? [05:20] ahoy mine! [05:20] MinceR the shitty desktop environment? [05:20] ahoy definitely not that one [05:20] MinceR or the even shittier game engine that comes with MICROS~1's botNET framework? [05:20] ahoy not the mono gaming platform either [05:20] ahoy nope nope [05:20] MinceR humanity will be unified in the grave [05:20] ahoy and probably not unity with fideath either [05:20] ahoy you have to understand how unity works [05:21] MinceR since almost nobody can be convinced to let others be, apparently [05:21] ahoy it never works if everyone just agrees on just ANYTHING [05:21] ahoy they have to agree on the RIGHT things [05:21] MinceR CrystalMath wants a patchwork of diverse flavors of extreme oppression [05:21] MinceR the axis of evil apparently agrees [05:21] ahoy yes but on the wrong thing [05:21] ahoy thats why theyre the axis of evil [05:21] MinceR well, guess what [05:22] ahoy at least they can agree on labeling things properly, thats always a good place to start [05:22] MinceR science and technology don't develop well under extreme oppression [05:22] CrystalMath MinceR: for sure i want there to still be an america zone [05:22] CrystalMath just one that leaves others alone [05:22] ahoy which is exactly my point [05:22] MinceR and the next asteroid that comes around to kill us all isn't going to ask if you're good christians or whatever [05:22] MinceR if you don't have the right tech, you're dead [05:22] ahoy everyone should be forced to agree on science and technology without forcing them in a way that is extremely oppressive [05:22] CrystalMath and lets them "suffer", because what *they* think is suffering is maybe not suffering [05:22] MinceR and so's everything else that lives on this planet [05:22] MinceR end of fucking story [05:22] ahoy if we can all just agree to stop oppressing each other [05:22] ahoy and maybe just oppress the people who dont agree with that,,, [05:22] ahoy nothing can go wrong [05:23] CrystalMath i think canadians are suffering [05:23] MinceR either humanity gets rid of the memetic pathogens that are crippling its minds, or it will just go fucking extinct [05:23] CrystalMath those vaccine mandates are freaking brutal [05:23] MinceR and nothing of value will be lost. [05:23] MinceR that's nature's deal. [05:23] ahoy canadians would never be happy if we took away their suffering [05:23] MinceR and if you don't like it, that's too bad. [05:23] eskimo i like to oppress everyone [05:23] CrystalMath ahoy: it seems so [05:23] CrystalMath ahoy: so, i'm not gonna invade canada and force them to remove the mandates [05:23] MinceR this planet will be uninhabitable 1 billion years from now, regardless of anything you do [05:23] MinceR no amount of prayer will help you. [05:23] CrystalMath MinceR: that's great [05:24] MinceR well, if you want your species to die out, then yes [05:24] ahoy we should move from prayer to spaceships for exactly that reason [05:24] CrystalMath life doesn't make sense if it never ends [05:24] MinceR and it certainly looks like the human species wants to go extinct [05:24] MinceR that's great, because it's happening. [05:24] ahoy though if i have a spaceship, im still going to pray when the engine makes funny noises [05:24] MinceR lol [05:24] CrystalMath MinceR: but your culture seems to be thinking about whether people have a right to die [05:24] CrystalMath MinceR: they're thinking about forcing people to take immortality potions [05:24] CrystalMath your culture = the west [05:25] CrystalMath "for our own good" [05:25] MinceR who's "my culture"? [05:25] CrystalMath the west [05:25] MinceR what "immortality potions"? [05:25] MinceR please tell us about your dream before using it as context. [05:26] CrystalMath i read some article by some "liberal" about how, if in the future there is something you can take to become immortal [05:26] CrystalMath will it be morally allowed to choose NOT to take it? [05:26] ahoy actually rms talked about that years ago [05:26] MinceR that's not a liberal [05:26] CrystalMath reminds me a lot of the vaccine mandates [05:26] ahoy so liberals are far behind as usual [05:26] MinceR and whether taking it is a good idea is a good question [05:26] CrystalMath ahoy: this was years ago [05:26] CrystalMath but it wasn't RMS [05:26] ahoy ah okay [05:26] MinceR dying (the unknown) or spending an eternity with the most horrible monsters the universe has come up with (humans)? [05:26] ahoy its in his bio [05:26] MinceR difficult choice. [05:26] ahoy which against better judgment i bought from the fsf [05:27] ahoy i dont regret reading it, only giving them money [05:27] CrystalMath this is why vaccine mandates are so scary [05:27] CrystalMath if i want to die it's my right [05:27] *techrights-ipfs-bot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [05:28] MinceR no, that is not why vaccine mandates are scary [05:28] MinceR vaccine mandates are scary because it means the state is making a decision for you [05:28] MinceR and the state fucking sucks at making decisions [05:28] CrystalMath at a basic level, yes [05:28] MinceR at every level [05:28] MinceR it's one of the worst things humanity has come up with [05:28] CrystalMath but i'm also scared of the fact that they can literally try to force people to do something that is good for them [05:28] MinceR religion being the other [05:29] CrystalMath what if i don't want to feel good? [05:29] MinceR you're in luck [05:29] MinceR you're on earth [05:29] MinceR among humans [05:29] MinceR the best company if you want to feel bad. [05:29] CrystalMath sometimes i'm so scared of this, that i think about commiting suicide now because in the future they'll be able to reconstruct me somehow [05:29] *AdmFubar has quit (Quit: Leaving.) [05:30] ahoy "Say somebody discovers an immortality serum. What do you do? What are the political results? If you give it to everybody, the world gets overcrowded and everybody dies. If you limit it, if you say everyone who's alive now can have it but their children can't, then you end up with an underclass of people without it. Richard was just better able than most to see the unforeseen circumstances of any decision." [05:30] MinceR does suicide affect that possibility?

[05:34] CrystalMath there is only one thing that can be done [05:34] MinceR extinction?

[11:24] DaemonFC Among a list of other grievances. [11:25] XRevan86 He didn't strike me as drunk. [11:25] DaemonFC Maybe Putin was wanting into NATO to try to corrupt it and make it incapable of doing anything about them, like the UN. [11:25] DaemonFC The UN should throw Russia out and expel the ambassador and change the charter to remove them from the Security Council should they be allowed back someday. [11:26] activelow the missing piece could be, given the risks, former soviet union weapons stockpiles [11:26] XRevan86 DaemonFC: Why do ye think he was drunk?

[11:28] DaemonFC Yeah, and Putin keeps saying he's withdrawing from treaties because the Soviet Union signed them and Russia isn't the Soviet Union. [11:28] DaemonFC So they could also say if Russia admits it isn't the Soviet successor state, then it loses its seat on the Security Council. [11:28] leah a lot of the infrastructure and ways of doing things were maintained from those years though [11:29] activelow it was USA who withdrew from some nuclear arms weapons dismantling agreement some weeks ago [11:29] activelow and, it was NATO who didn't keep their promise, to not expand beyond former east-germany [11:30] DaemonFC The US didn't say it was withdrawing from certain treaties because it had negotiated them with the USSR.

Ye can take him.
