[00:00]	DaemonFC	If the psychiatrist told them it's real, it'd God, and do whatever the voices say, he'd lose his license to practice medicine. Why is that? Wasn't he just helping them live their true authentic life?
[00:00]	arkanian	That is factually untrue
[00:01]		*macrohumanity has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[00:01]	DaemonFC	This is cruel.
[00:01]	DaemonFC	It's also pseudoscience.
[00:01]	arkanian	Gender dysphoria was left in the DSM-5 so people could still receive support for it
[00:01]	DaemonFC	In 50 years, this will not be the standard of care and people will hardly believe we did it.
[00:01]	arkanian	It was watered down, it was more of a mental illness in DSM-4
[00:01]	DaemonFC	Like lobotomizing women for having PMS.
[00:02]	DaemonFC	Psychiatrists did that to President Kennedy's sister.
[00:02]	arkanian	The general scientific consensus does not agree with you
[00:02]	DaemonFC	I don't respect psychiatrists.
[00:02]	DaemonFC	They're all frauds.
[00:02]	DaemonFC	The best of them at least mean well.
[00:03]	DaemonFC	The worst are just disreputable practitioners who couldn't hack it in real medicine and decided to go to work on people nobody cares about, where nobody expects any results.
[00:03]	arkanian	Every doctor and scientist is a fraud except for the republican and/or christian ones?
[00:03]	DaemonFC	In any field of actual medicine, there are benchmarks for quality of care.
[00:04]	DaemonFC	In psychiatry, it's all bullshit anyway. The psychiatrists are bullshit artists.
[00:04]	arkanian	Right and just using a trans persons pronouns reduces suicidality
[00:04]	arkanian	This has published studies
[00:05]	DaemonFC	Has it ever occurred to you that there are more "trans people" lately because there's a lot more of every mental illness lately?
[00:05]	DaemonFC	There's 10 times more syphilis than there's ever been in my lifetime going around the US.
[00:05]	arkanian	There are more trans people now because society is a lot more accepting of it than it was 10-20 years ago
[00:05]	DaemonFC	Not everything is desirable just because it's happening more often.
[00:05]	arkanian	People feel more comfortable coming out
[00:06]	DaemonFC	Why are more people mentally ill now than at any point in history?
[00:06]	arkanian	It isn't a mental illness
[00:06]	DaemonFC	Why are there more STDs going around now than there were in the AIDS outbreak of the 80s and 90s or in the pre-antibiotic era>
[00:06]	DaemonFC	People are just gross.
[00:07]	arkanian	You also fail to factor in better diagnostic rates, more education and a much higher population
[00:07]	DaemonFC	Every negative social benchmark is up in a big way.
[00:07]	DaemonFC	Hasn't anyone ever heard of wearing a condom?
[00:07]	DaemonFC	Dear God, people are fucking gross.
[00:07]	arkanian	People love to blame autism on vaccines but people just got better at diagnosing it
[00:08]	DaemonFC	Are you going with the "People just notice it now because there's no factories to stick them in and ignore it, and they can kind of get by because nobody cares?
[00:08]	arkanian	Women with autism were often left out because they have different ways of expressing the symptoms
[00:08]	DaemonFC	That was a shower thought of mine.
[00:08]	DaemonFC	People probably just used to shove it in factories and the Army.
[00:08]	arkanian	No, better diagnostic rates
[00:09]	DaemonFC	They sentenced my mom's second husband to the Army.
[00:09]	DaemonFC	He had an Army career because he got caught stealing a truckload of tires.
[00:09]	DaemonFC	They dismissed the charges because he brought them his enlistment papers.
[00:09]	DaemonFC	Things were just different.
[00:10]	arkanian	They also used to shove people into mental hospitals  before we had better medication
[00:10]	DaemonFC	We don't have better medicine though.
[00:10]	arkanian	Women were diagnosed with mental illness if they weren't good to their husbands
[00:11]	DaemonFC	Atypical antipsychotics don't have significantly lower rates of extrapyramidal side effects. They only said they did to have a new product.
[00:11]	arkanian	You can put a schitzophrenic on anti psychotics and they'll be productive members of society
[00:11]	arkanian	A few might not benefit but most do
[00:11]	DaemonFC	I have hand tremors because of the medication I have to take every day. Sometimes people will notice it while I'm holding some food or something.
[00:11]	DaemonFC	I don't really like it when people point it out and ask why that's happening but I've gotten used to it.
[00:12]	DaemonFC	It's not severe.
[00:12]	arkanian	Are you schitzophrenic?
[00:12]	DaemonFC	No.
[00:12]	DaemonFC	Two of my aunts are though.
[00:13]	DaemonFC	It was pretty bad for them. One got picked up by the cops because she was found standing in the highway and nearly got hit by a truck.
[00:13]	DaemonFC	They felt sorry for her so they gave her a day in jail and a $1 fine.
[00:14]	arkanian	My brother is schitzophrenic and the anti psychotics work for him.
[00:14]	arkanian	He couldn't hold a job before.
[00:15]	DaemonFC	I think probably the worst thing I've ever done is try to set a land speed record in my car.
[00:17]	DaemonFC	That was a very long time though.
[00:17]	arkanian	I think I did that on a bike :>
[00:17]	DaemonFC	I'm probably going to need a new washing machine.
[00:17]	DaemonFC	That one in there is making a terrible noise.
[00:18]	DaemonFC	I think I can disassemble this thing and toss it in bags in bits and pieces when it goes.
[00:20]	arkanian	Isn't that your landlords job?
[00:21]	DaemonFC	It would be if he owned it. I have hookups in my unit.
[00:21]	DaemonFC	This building is weird.
[00:21]	DaemonFC	I think they converted this part after the building was in use.
[00:23]	DaemonFC	It's the same rent as the others but if you want to hook up your own, you can.
[00:23]	arkanian	Weren't you complaining there was some drug user in your laundry room?
[00:23]	DaemonFC	Yes, I was. It took me a while to figure that out.
[00:24]	DaemonFC	Turns out everyone else in the building knew it and was just avoiding that room while he was passed out in there and there was a puddle of piss on the floor.
[00:24]	DaemonFC	I'm glad I moved here when I did and got this unit or else I'd be sticking to the floor trying to avoid the syringes while doing my stuff.

[00:34]	TR Bot	 Google Extends Chromebook Update Support to 10 Years | Tom's Hardware
[00:35]	DaemonFC	You can run Debian that long. Or you could just upgrade to the next version and start the support lifecycle over again from scratch.
[00:36]	DaemonFC	You can install Windows 11 on "unsupported hardware" but the official support was going to be a hard requirement to hide how much slower it is than Windows 10.
[00:37]	arkanian	They also started to support Android longer on the newer Pixel phones
[00:39]	DaemonFC	You can unofficially install Mac OS on a lot of unsupported hardware, with various quirks, bugs, and things that don't work.
[00:39]	DaemonFC	I think some going back to 2011 can still run the latest version with some limitations.
[00:39]	DaemonFC	I wonder if the M1 will ever get that.
[00:41]	arkanian	Nice, wordpress 6.5 will support AVIF
[00:41]	DaemonFC	Eww
[00:41]	DaemonFC	I mean, not as bad as WebP but ewww.
[00:42]	DaemonFC	They need to just quit producing image formats based on video codecs and move to JPEG-XL.
[00:42]	arkanian	I love it
[00:42]	arkanian	Eww
[00:43]	DaemonFC	Webkit has JPEG-XL.
[00:43]	DaemonFC	Goanna too.
[00:45]	DaemonFC	Wordpress is awful.
[00:45]	DaemonFC	Putting out static pages with SeaMonkey Composer and publishing them directly is better.
[00:46]	DaemonFC	Roy found out what trying to use WordPress longterm was like.
[00:46]	DaemonFC	At first it works. 15 years later, not really.
[00:46]	DaemonFC	Then all your data is in it.
[00:47]	DaemonFC	"Male Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder"
[00:47]	DaemonFC	They have a mental illness for "not desiring sex", of course.
[00:47]	DaemonFC	Sounds merciful.
[00:47]	DaemonFC	Half the dumb shit men do is trying to have sex.
[00:48]	DaemonFC	"Delayed ejaculation" "Premature ejaculation". Well, that happens sooner or later, as a one off event, to almost all of us.
[00:48]	DaemonFC	It depends on what you're thinking about at the time.
[00:48]	arkanian	WordPress is fine if you keep up with updates.
[00:49]	DaemonFC	I think I have "Exploding Head Syndrome".
[00:50]	DaemonFC	I hear someone knocking on my door really loud sometimes and it wakes me up and then there's never anybody there no matter how fast I get to the door.
[00:50]	DaemonFC	"Transvestic Disorder" LOL

[00:52]	DaemonFC	The entire country of New Zealand.
[00:52]	arkanian	They used to diagnose women with mania and would use vibrators on them.
[00:53]	DaemonFC	They have one mass shooting years ago and lack the ability to grieve, cope, and move on.
[00:53]	DaemonFC	Then they deal with it in weird ways, like trying to threaten anyone who talks about it.
[00:54]	DaemonFC	"Caffeine Use Disorder"

[00:57]	DaemonFC	Dissociative Amnesia. Yeah, I have gaps in my memory surrounding traumatic events. I remember something happened but can't recall the exact events soon after.
[00:57]	DaemonFC	I was reading the statement I wrote right after being sent to the hospital by an ex who is now facing charges finally years later for that.
[00:58]	DaemonFC	I only remembered that day as I read through what I said immediately after it happened.
[00:58]	DaemonFC	The police wrote down that I was hysterical and in shock.
[00:58]	DaemonFC	They noted that he lied and changed his own story a bunch of times and was very calm.
● Feb 26
[01:01]	DaemonFC	I don't know why I would want memories of events like that back.
[01:02]	DaemonFC	I spoke with John a while back. He says that guy still messages him.
[01:02]	DaemonFC	Apparently he's very depressed now that he's facing charges.
[01:02]	DaemonFC	Good.
[01:02]	DaemonFC	If nothing happens to him except the 18 days he already spent in jail waiting for his sister to bail him out, at least something did happen.
[01:03]	DaemonFC	Lucky it happened at all. If he did the same crimes today they'd just let him out immediately without posting cash even if he continued to be a threat to me.
[01:03]	arkanian	Hmmmm interesting
[01:03]	DaemonFC	They just say the order to stay away from the victim is "enough".
[01:04]	arkanian	I took a 5MB jpeg, converted it to avif and jxl with imagemagick
[01:04]	DaemonFC	Then the guy is back 5 hours later trying to kick down the door, and he has a gun.
[01:04]	DaemonFC	That happens now.
[01:04]	DaemonFC	Democrats.
[01:04]	arkanian	jxl is 3.1MB, avif is 1.4MB
[01:04]	DaemonFC	Trying to keep their costs to jail criminals down.
[01:04]	arkanian	I can't tell the difference between them
[01:04]	DaemonFC	By inflicting more crime on people who can't afford gated communities and private security.
[01:05]	DaemonFC	jxl has a lossless mode and a quality range.
[01:05]	DaemonFC	quality range is lossy.
[01:06]	DaemonFC	From what the user sees, it's quite similar to 1992 JPEG, just with better output at any file size, and a lossless option.
[01:06]	arkanian	so does avif
[01:06]	DaemonFC	How Google handled jxl is a lot like when Microsoft was on the OpenGL ARB.
[01:07]	DaemonFC	First they tried sabotaging it.
[01:07]	DaemonFC	Then they left and crapped out something else.
[01:07]	arkanian	AVIF has nothing to do with Google
[01:07]	DaemonFC	Google is promoting it using chrome, which has replaced web standards.
[01:09]	arkanian	Probably because it is the best.
[01:10]	arkanian	Otherwise they wouldn't support it and would be pushing webp
[01:18]		*jacobk (~quassel@838aynky6btpe.irc) has joined #techrights
[01:25]	DaemonFC	WebP is blurry smudgy garbage.
[01:25]	DaemonFC	It sucks and it should be removed as it is also a security disaster.
[01:26]	DaemonFC	The fact that it can't even make images that look as good as 1992 JPEG is an aside at this point.
[01:26]	DaemonFC	This is like trading your E-Class for a Hyundai with a defective airbag.
[01:27]	arkanian	jxl takes forever to load
[01:31]	DaemonFC	Verizon tried to steal $50 from mom this month.
[01:32]	DaemonFC	They said she had to bring in proof of her occupation again even though she did that last year.
[01:32]	DaemonFC	Then when she complained they took it off and said it was a one time thing anyway

[03:32]	DaemonFC	I'm hesitant to use or recommend anything based on GTK as far as a desktop environment goes anymore.
[03:33]	DaemonFC	If I was going to try out anything other than KDE it would probably be lxqt.
[03:33]	DaemonFC	I don't know what will happen with Pale Moon for Linux if GTK3 becomes unusable.
[03:34]	DaemonFC	We've probably got a while before it's completely unmaintained. Gimp was only ported to GTK3 months ago.
[03:34]	DaemonFC	And even at that, it is still using deprecated parts of GTK3.
[03:37]	DaemonFC	The lxqt developers haven't lost their damn minds.
[03:38]	DaemonFC	The whole thing (lxde) got started because of a Chinese developer that needed something lightweight to work on a Windows XP-era computer.
[03:39]	DaemonFC	And even then, GNOME and KDE were pretty fat.
[03:40]		*darwin has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[03:40]	DaemonFC	I could probably eek by on one of those Celeron laptops with 4 GB of RAM with various tricks, including using lxqt on the desktop and ZStd full physical RAM size, with lzo-rle (meant to run better on things like RPi with some compression loss vs. ZStd).
[03:40]	DaemonFC	Modern x86 processors, especially the higher end ones, can power through ZStd, so it makes more sense even if it is theoretically slower, because you can pack more stuff into the compressed swap device.
[03:41]	DaemonFC	Even my older laptop with a Core i7-6560U has no problem with ZStd for this and in BtrFS.
[03:41]	DaemonFC	Running out of RAM and swapping to a physical device is bad, even on an SSD.
[03:42]	DaemonFC	In the background, Err, ZRam I meant.
[03:42]	DaemonFC	But, yeah, the kernel just pages out things I'm not using in the background even when I'm not using a ton of RAM.
[03:43]	DaemonFC	It leaves more free in case I suddenly demand it.
[03:45]	psydruid	I use Mate on the laptop with a Celeron N3060 and 8 GB of RAM and run lightweight applications such as Falkon on it
[03:45]	DaemonFC	It doesn't seem to get very aggressive unless I start using more than half my physical RAM.
[03:46]	psydruid	But I think the future for that kind of hardware will eventually lie elsewhere, if there's still going to be a point to supporting it

[06:07]	DaemonFC	We've been doing a great job at perpetuating the cycle of systemic violence against men on our own.
[06:08]	DaemonFC	With no-fault divorce and circumcisions and male-only draft laws and making sure that it's rare for the police to even investigate when men are raped or the victims of domestic violence.

[06:08]	DaemonFC	The system is so stacked against us that I don't really think it matters who is in the legislature.
[06:09]	DaemonFC	Men have even more to lose from the criminalization of abortion than the women do.
[06:09]	DaemonFC	The women might have to bear a child, but it's the men who will suffer for it.
[06:09]	DaemonFC	With taxes to fund a welfare state that grows larger and child support.
[06:10]	DaemonFC	The men know it's the men who will end up suffering even though it's women who are forced to carry to term. That's why they're all having vasectomies.
[06:10]	DaemonFC	Men should be the one protesting this by getting a vasectomy and refusing to perpetuate the cycle.
[06:11]	DaemonFC	The system has a knack for making men do 95% of the suffering for something that is 50% his fault and 50% the fault of the woman.
[06:11]	DaemonFC	Don't ever let anyone say otherwise.
[06:12]	DaemonFC	Some men who found out the hard way what the system is like once a woman has their child have gone and warned others at least.
[06:12]	DaemonFC	Nothing obligates her to stay and try to have a family, so she rarely will.
[06:13]	DaemonFC	She'll say she's "strong and independent" while she goes down to the welfare office for food stamps, TANF, and Medicaid and then swings by the Child Support office for a third of your paycheck.
[06:13]	DaemonFC	They don't give that shit to men because they never award custody of the children to men unless the woman has done something so outrageous that they have to put her in prison or an insane asylum.
[06:15]	DaemonFC	The first thing we have to do is snap out of it and quit drinking the "women are always victims" flavor-aide.

[06:15]	DaemonFC	And I doubt it will be easy to convince some men of this because they've had it shoved down their throats for so long.

[06:17]	DaemonFC	So in that sense, it's almost funny to watch the end of Roe knock them down a peg and put the fear of God into them about getting pregnant, since they always had agency to do anything they wanted to about it, so no reason to avoid it.
[06:18]	DaemonFC	Their only real fear now is that the State could force them to do some parenting work.
[06:21]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Unemployment has hit black men the worst.
[06:21]	DaemonFC	Young black men are the worst hit by the unemployment problem in the US.
[06:22]	DaemonFC	Politicians don't actually "invest" anything in south Chicago. It's been scarred and broken since the riots in the 1960s.
[06:22]	DaemonFC	If you ever take a green line train around and wonder why there's so many empty lots, it's where a building got burned down in the riots and nobody ever bothered to build anything there again.
[06:24]	DaemonFC	There are generally no grocery stores. Maybe an Aldi with an armed security guard.
[06:24]	DaemonFC	But most of them are these ran down shops that have a picture of a food stamp card painted on the outside.
[06:25]	DaemonFC	Every time something tries to open there, usually with generous tax abatements, it still fails and leaves, including Jewel-Osco and Walmart. Which were the only reason part of it wasn't a food desert for the few years it's there.

[09:21]	DaemonFC	At its roots, there's the same sort of legal framework and mentality from the Chinese Exclusion Act days, and "Operation Wetback".
[09:21]	DaemonFC	It's that they come here and they don't ever get papers and the system can just never find them all and has to prioritize criminals who are more of a threat to public safety.
[09:22]	DaemonFC	Fortunately for the ones that are not violent, there are always plenty who are.
[09:22]	DaemonFC	And that keeps ICE busy.
[09:23]	DaemonFC	But under Trump, everyone became a target and it was just ridiculous because that takes officers away from trying to hunt down the murderers and drug dealers and shit.
[09:23]	DaemonFC	arkanian: It doesn't much matter what my political beliefs are.
[09:24]	DaemonFC	I'm one person. I can vote but I'm in a very crazy place where it doesn't matter and people don't want good jobs, low taxes, and schools that teach people how to read and write and do math at grade level.
[09:25]	DaemonFC	Nobody here knows the Constitution and nobody cares. Politicians are always destroying jobs and bribing people with welfare.
[09:25]	DaemonFC	They tear you down and point you at the welfare office when they're done.
[09:25]	DaemonFC	Decent people don't want a handout. They want dignity.
[09:26]	DaemonFC	When you deprive a person of dignity, they start losing their mind, even if they have had something to eat that day.

[12:58]	Righty	There are better calendars assembled than the Gregorian one, but religious lunatics don't like it when days are aligned.
[12:59]	Righty	It would be good if each day of the month was on the same weekday (i.e. see you on the 20th next month), but we can't have that.
[12:59]	Righty	I wonder if GNU cal and date has support for the proposed calendars.

[13:06]	schestowitz	lesss can go wrong with your router
[13:06]	schestowitz	that you cannot update after shipping
[13:07]	Righty	I'm not sure if russian SCBM's care about what the date is - taking a guess they probably just count elapsed time since launch for inertial calculations.

[13:08]	Righty	Newlib kind of existed previously. BusyBox is for when you can't help but to infringe the GPLv2 and are manually putting together router software (installing one binary manually is easier than installing dozens) and then proceed to ship such with no license notice or offer for sourec.
[13:09]	schestowitz	Righty: maybe they use reactOS

[13:09]	schestowitz	russia's mossiles
[13:10]	schestowitz	they connect to the "russian gps"

[13:11]	Righty	It's kind of hard to get a GLONASS signal while you're in a ballistic trajectory, morso when you're re-entering the atmosphere and get static out (although the missile should be able to connect to satellites directly above).
[13:13]	Righty	I'm fairly certain modern inertial navigation is good enough to hit anywhere on earth with the accuracy a nuke needs. GLONASS would be useful for cheaper cruise missiles mind you.
[13:14]	Righty	Big routers that need to route lots of packets run GNU/Linux and sometimes the GNU Zebra BGP implementation (someone ended up forking the codebase and continuing development, but Zebra probably is still used on some older routers).

[13:55]	TR News	One day people people will look back, recalling all the people who openly rejected and talked down the HEY HI hype. Just like Web3, blockchains and other overhyped stuff.
[13:57]	TR News	G.A.I. is "gay". It's NOT even new. It's just hype and because they throw MORE COMPUTATIONAL RESOURCES at it they beg us to believe it is new, useful, and potent. It's just super-expensive to do. That's kind like Bitcoin. "LOOK AT ALL THIS ENERGY WE ARE USING!! WE SO AWESOME! WE DE FYUCHER!"
[13:58]	TR News	Like trying to IMPRESS GIRLS by wasting a lot of money, saying or showing, "LOOK AT ALL THIS MONEY I THROW AWAY, ME MUST BE VEWY VEWY WICH!!" That's "open" "HEY HI" in a nutshell. A LOSS leader.
● Feb 26
[14:00]	TR News	Microsoft employees are STILL parroting Bill Gates the pervert, pretending that "HEY HI" is "like the Internet" and that the Internet started in the 90s, not the 1960s. Heck, Gates still rejected the WWW in the 1990s, so who is he to lecture anyone on anything?

[14:03]	TR News	Gates-owned media: Gates critics are jealous of his fame. If Unabomber funded that same media, it'd claim that people who oppose terrorism are "just jealous" of Unabomber.
[14:04]	TR News	No wonder the media is collapsing. Sooner or later it sells any credibility it earned away... looking to "monetise" that. Sort of like what the EPO does with patent grants.
[14:06]	TR News	EPO has been more concerned by the "need" to bribe the media (millions per year; also 6 million dollars to FIGHT ITS OWN STAFF IN COURT!), not pay suicide victims, or examiners who are eliminating themselves due to the highly toxic work culture. Priorities, priorities.

[23:00]	arkanian	MinceR: probably because of the market share
[23:01]	MinceR	market share on the market of overpriced featurephones
[23:01]	MinceR	probably not the people who would be particularly worried about battery life
[23:01]	MinceR	or the ability to use their phone as a power bank
[23:02]	MinceR	now if it was an android phone covered in several thousand USDs worth of precious metals and gems, i could see the basis for comparison
[23:03]	arkanian	Nobody really talks about the Google Pixel, but its the best smartphone I've ever had.
[23:05]	MinceR	or some phone with some religious symbol on it
[23:06]	MinceR	i don't like the pixels because they don't have memory card slots, don't have audio jacks, but do have punch holes
[23:06]	arkanian	USB-C
[23:06]	MinceR	what of it? most phones have them
[23:06]	arkanian	most old phones
[23:06]	arkanian	USB-C is a better standard
[23:07]	MinceR	than what?
[23:07]	arkanian	3.5mm analog
[23:07]	MinceR	those are not mutually exclusive
[23:07]	arkanian	"don't have audio jacks" is incorrect
[23:07]	MinceR	my sony xperia 1 v has both a USB-C connector and an analog audio jack
[23:07]	arkanian	USB-C headphones
[23:07]	MinceR	so does my pinephone
[23:08]	MinceR	i'd find USB-C headsets more defensible if manufacturers would include a second USB-C port instead of the analog audio jack
[23:08]	MinceR	in any case, the audio jack isn't nearly as much of a problem as the memory card slot
[23:10]	arkanian	because I want to carry around a bunch of sd cards for some reason
[23:10]	MinceR	i'm satisfied with having 1 microSD card in the phone
[23:11]	arkanian	my phone has 5G too, so it connects to the vacchine microchip in my blood stream
[23:11]	MinceR	lol
[23:11]	MinceR	which vaccine came with that?
[23:11]	arkanian	I'm jesting
[23:12]	arkanian	You know people blowing up 5g towers over that shit
[23:12]	arkanian	You do have a nice phone though
[23:12]	MinceR	i tried different vaccines but i still don't generate a 5G signal :(
[23:13]	arkanian	I got a really good deal on this phone, that's what made me pick it
[23:13]	MinceR	:)
[23:14]	arkanian	its insane how much they charge for iPhones
[23:14]	arkanian	Pixel 7, $1/month, iPhone 15, $30/month
[23:14]	arkanian	Plus plan
[23:15]	MinceR	people are willing to pay insane amounts of money for hypePhones
[23:16]	arkanian	for what? they haven't really changed much in the last 10 years
[23:17]	MinceR	\_()_/
[23:18]	MinceR	i guess the older ones were further crippled by "updates"
