[05:39]	TR News	How much of the media does Microsoft bribe ("tech" media and "general" media) to pretend "HEY HI" is new and revolutionary? How much per publisher? And when will the media admit Microsoft is in fact collapsing and laying off tens of thousands?
[05:41]	psydruid	Only when Microsoft truly becomes the new IBM
[05:42]	schestowitz[TR]	ibm is tyill around
[05:42]	schestowitz[TR]	ibm is another _kind_ of nuisance
[05:42]	schestowitz[TR]	under palmisano it was friendly
[05:42]	schestowitz[TR]	virginia was sucking up to apple
[05:42]	schestowitz[TR]	and many at icbm use apple
[05:43]	schestowitz[TR]	for them, gnu/linux is "server something"
[05:43]	schestowitz[TR]	imho, software freedom on the client side is vastly more important than the server side
[05:43]	schestowitz[TR]	and i think rms would agree
[05:43]	schestowitz[TR]	i recently saw him accept duckduckgo
[05:43]	schestowitz[TR]	even if
[05:43]	schestowitz[TR]	-it's not privacy
[05:43]	schestowitz[TR]	-it's microsoft
[05:44]	schestowitz[TR]	-it's proprietary
[05:44]	schestowitz[TR]	he still uses this over tor
[05:44]	schestowitz[TR]	because... works without javascript
[05:45]	psydruid	IBM is barely relevant these days
[05:45]	schestowitz[TR]	so the way rms may be seeing it, it's ok to be brainwashed by microsoft and it's less bad than using some JS in SearX
[05:45]	schestowitz[TR]	psydruid: icbm has old governmenbrt conteacts
[05:45]	schestowitz[TR]	and cobol, POS
[05:45]	schestowitz[TR]	old things
[05:46]	psydruid	as long as governments remain attached to that software the company will get a revenue stream
[05:46]	schestowitz[TR]	they thought buying rhel to own it directly would help clown
[05:46]	schestowitz[TR]	but they are not relevant there
[05:47]	schestowitz[TR]	same for oracle
[05:47]	psydruid	but I don't see anything any other company couldn't do just as well
[05:47]	schestowitz[TR]	tbh, nowadays clown is becoming a squeeze
[05:47]	schestowitz[TR]	they push up prizing
[05:47]	schestowitz[TR]	pricing
[05:47]	schestowitz[TR]	some abandon it
[05:47]	schestowitz[TR]	hence aws and azure layoffs
[05:48]	MinceR	26 064309 < schestowitz[TR]> for them, gnu/linux is "server something"
[05:48]	psydruid	who's going back to mainframes, though
[05:48]	MinceR	seems more like it's "the enemy" to them
[05:49]	MinceR	it's not MICROS~1, with which they're "stronger together"
[05:49]	MinceR	and it's not crApple, with whom they made an agreement to shill their products
[05:49]	MinceR	GNU/Linux used to be something that would and could resist their control, and did, for a while
[05:50]	MinceR	now it's just a handful of distributions trying to subsist on an increasingly ruined kernel
[05:50]	MinceR	26 064340 < schestowitz[TR]> and i think rms would agree
[05:50]	MinceR	does rms still believe that "systemd is free software"?
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR]	<DaemonFC> "The cost of a basket of goods used to make the traditional English breakfast has surged to over 35 ($43) due to a lack of fresh vegetables in supermarkets and accelerating inflation, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.
[05:50]	schestowitz[TR]	workarounds exist
[05:51]	MinceR	26 064830 < psydruid> who's going back to mainframes, though
[05:51]	MinceR	much of the industry
[05:51]	MinceR	though they like to call it "cloud" and "web"
[05:51]	schestowitz[TR]	MinceR: systemddg
[05:51]	schestowitz[TR]	search for rms
[05:51]	schestowitz[TR]	no JS
[05:51]	schestowitz[TR]	powered by Microsoft
[05:51]	schestowitz[TR]	hosted by Microsoft
[05:51]	schestowitz[TR]	informant to Microsoft
[05:51]	schestowitz[TR]	but no JS
[05:52]	schestowitz[TR]	so it's better than searX
[05:53]	MinceR	what happened to librex?
[05:53]	MinceR	i thought rms promoted it
[05:53]	TR News	"There's a recent post by Lesogorov about SystemD-free distros that's worth a read if this sort of thing interests you." gemini://gemini.hitchhiker-linux.org/gemlog/re_systemd-free.gmi
[05:54]	TR News	"Around 2017 I started migrating away from using old crappy X86 desktops as home servers to a small army of Raspberry Pi's. I immediately ran into a few SystemD related issues that somewhat soured my feelings towards it." gemini://gemini.hitchhiker-linux.org/gemlog/re_systemd-free.gmi
[05:55]	TR News	"The heart of the issue is that SystemD was attempting to mount all disks before that disk had even finished spinning up, causing the mount to fail because the kernel didn't even know the disk existed yet." gemini://gemini.hitchhiker-linux.org/gemlog/re_systemd-free.gmi
[05:55]	schestowitz[TR]	MinceR: a few hours old ^^
[05:55]	MinceR	if it was the post i read, then it isn't worth a read
[05:55]	TR News	"I've since found Void. I am extremely positive about Void. It's not perfect, but it really is very good. I love that it uses Musl libc. It uses Runit for init and process supervision, which is crazy simple" gemini://gemini.hitchhiker-linux.org/gemlog/re_systemd-free.gmi
[05:56]	MinceR	and he isn't going to like what he gets from the cultists for spelling it "SystemD" either
[05:56]	schestowitz[TR]	MinceR: no
[05:56]	schestowitz[TR]	it's a response to it
[05:56]	schestowitz[TR]	a rebuttal
[05:56]	MinceR	ah, ok
[05:56]	TR News	"I've got Alpine in a VM for evaluation. I have to say, I'm totally impressed. I can see this replacing Arch as my development environment because it's actually up to date (Void lags just enough to annoy me) and it is also Musl libc based. There are a couple things I'm not entirely happy with though." gemini://gemini.hitchhiker-linux.org/gemlog/re_systemd-free.gmi
[05:57]	MinceR	(i know of librex because i've read rms' article on what he uses)
[05:57]	TR News	"This is not a great tendency. I'd point out that Unix was originally brought up in large part because Ken Thompson needed an OS to run his Space Travel video game on the PDP-7. A few collaborators, notably Dennis Ritchie, who were frustrated with how large Multics had grown, chipped in and it took off" gemini://gemini.hitchhiker-linux.org/gemlog/re_systemd-free.gmi
[05:58]	TR News	"Would I recommend a non-systemD distro? Depends. If a person has a bit of experience Void makes a great server and a decent desktop. I actually think Alpine makes a great desktop, but you have to have some knowhow to bring it up. I wouldn't recomment Artix." gemini://gemini.hitchhiker-linux.org/gemlog/re_systemd-free.gmi

[12:06]	schestowitz[TR]	there are many facets to this

[12:07]	schestowitz[TR]	it does too much

[12:07]	techuser	What is "other browser"? Firefox? A lot of browsers are Chrome-based.
[12:07]	schestowitz[TR]	they also use 'features' for vendor lockin
[12:07]	DaemonFC	The same rule applies to Chrome as any other browser. Unless you generally turn off all of these garbage APIs and Active Content, it's incredibly dangerous.

[12:08]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], WebkitGTK doesn't support a lot of these strange Chrome APIs that are probably only useful to malware and advertisers.

[12:10]	DaemonFC	So this would have to be added specifically for the GTK port.

[12:28]	DaemonFC	If you can't realistically turn a profit within 10 years, you need to stop the deal and figure out how to walk away. That's my take on this.

[12:34]	DaemonFC	He's probably made a "for later" list of bad tenants in case he keeps the building. Including the ones he needs to evict immediately and the ones where he'll wait and let their current lease lapse.

[13:02]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], Apartment buildings in Chicago tend to be in much better condition than in the burbs.
[13:02]	DaemonFC	Chicago has a comprehensive anti-slumlord statute and enforces it vigorously, and the fines and re-inspections add up faster than just fixing the damned thing.
[13:02]	DaemonFC	So problems with the building tend to not pile up like they do in the burbs.
[13:04]	DaemonFC	Landlords tend to be short-sighted with their investments.
[13:05]	DaemonFC	They tend to take out a loan that breaks them and then have no budget left to renovate like they should, and then they miss out on opportunities to attract a better clientele, and the building starts breaking down slowly because in the next month or two it's not going to fall into the ground on them.
[13:05]	DaemonFC	But then they go and sell it and they think that they'll make out like a gangster, and people show up to look and they see some of the problems that have piled up and infer that there's others that they can't see.
[13:06]	DaemonFC	They demand concessions or walk away, and you get stuck with an investment you can't sell for anything close than what you thought you could get liquid cash for.
[13:08]	DaemonFC	He's experiencing the same difficulties a homeowner does in a (a) down market with (b) a banking crisis unfolding and (c) a neighborhood that's below average and stable at best or poised to get worse at worst, and (d) dealing with higher than usual interest rates and tighter credit that put additional pressure on buyers to demand lower prices as compensation.
[13:08]	DaemonFC	There's a very big difference between a mortgage at 3 and 7% when you have to borrow well over $2 million dollars.
[13:10]	DaemonFC	It's likely that the three men that came through weren't all potential buyers.
[13:10]	DaemonFC	One or two were probably contractors that the potential buyer asked to tag along to make note of problems they will face and give them an estimate of fixing and updating things.
[13:11]	DaemonFC	If there's a way to make money on this, ever, I don't see it.
[13:11]	DaemonFC	Even if the landlord cut the price of the building by 40-50% it would be VERY hard in this market.
[13:11]	schestowitz[TR]	<DaemonFC> Utah has no particularly good reason to want to appease Facebook like California does. Facebook isn't bringing any money or jobs to Utah, so California has a reason to shield Facebook when they do nasty stuff.
[13:11]	schestowitz[TR]	FB reduces productivity
[13:11]	schestowitz[TR]	and hence diminishes jobs
[13:12]	DaemonFC	I don't see him coming down 40%.
[13:12]	DaemonFC	He'd sell it eventually if he did.
[13:12]	DaemonFC	But it's so far down from what he's psychologically amped himself up for. "I deserve."
[13:13]	DaemonFC	<schestowitz[TR]> FB reduces productivity
[13:13]	DaemonFC	<schestowitz[TR]> and hence diminishes jobs
[13:13]	DaemonFC	As a state, California is incentivized to try to protect the industries that are major tax payers and job sources.
[13:13]	DaemonFC	Even after all the layoffs there are tens of thousands of jobs at Facebook in California I think.
[13:13]	DaemonFC	So the state isn't going to try to rattle their cage too much.

[13:46]	DaemonFC	There we go. Scheduled the Buick into the dealership for an oil change.
[13:47]	DaemonFC	There's no real reason to go anywhere else for a synthetic oil change. Walmart is well known for fucking up cars and using the cheapest possible oil filters, which tend to have problems with seepage through the sides of the filter, or just blowing through the filter and feeding contaminated oil back into the engine.
[13:47]	DaemonFC	It's like five bucks.
[13:48]	DaemonFC	And they have people back there that don't know anything about cars except literally just how to change oil. Which they train to do it wrong, so quite often they screw up your oil drain plug and use an impact wrench to drive it forcibly into the oil pan, cross threading it. And that's like $500-1,200 to fix, and they're "self-insured" and their response is usually "It was like that when you brought it to us!".
[13:48]	DaemonFC	In other words, they dare you to sue.
[13:49]	DaemonFC	Then even if everything goes perfectly, you're stuck at Walmart for three hours because the entire point of the oil change place is to make you shop at Walmart becuase you don't have your car.
[13:50]	DaemonFC	So while they're back there spraying each other with windshield washer fluid and knocking your car off the lift, you have a cart full of junk you never would have bought had you not gone in there with so much time to fill up.
[13:50]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], I wised up on the Walmart oil change place when they nearly ruined the oil pan in my Crown Victoria.
[13:51]	DaemonFC	The shop managed to get the bolt back out, so it was only $10, but I got lucky. If they had done more damage than that, that's a cast iron pan, not aluminum like the newer cars.
[13:51]	DaemonFC	$1,000 just for the part, and like a couple labor hours.
[13:52]	DaemonFC	The OEM oil filters are huge. They're like 3.5 times the size of a Walmart TLE e-core filter if you drive a car with a 3.8-4.6 liter engine.
[13:53]	DaemonFC	Walmart is not using a good part.
[13:53]	DaemonFC	Lots of customers at Walmart have gotten off worse than me.
[13:54]	DaemonFC	I once read about a guy who bought a new pickup truck. The owner's manual said use only that 0w16 motor oil.

[13:55]	DaemonFC	The OEM refused to fix it because he didn't use the right oil, and the manager at Walmart tried to tell him it doesn't matter what oil you use because it's all the same.
[13:55]	DaemonFC	MinceR, ^
[13:56]	DaemonFC	(It is NOT all the same. If you use anything other than what the manual says you can, you will certainly have no warranty if they find out about it, and at worst you can seriously damage the engine.)
[13:58]	DaemonFC	Walmart basically ruins cars and in ways where nobody wants to pay for the damage and starts ducking your phone calls and hiding behind lawyers.
[13:59]	DaemonFC	That's how every business deal in this country is after someone fucks you.

[15:14]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], There's always something going on in the background that you're not aware of.
[15:14]	schestowitz[TR]	context?
[15:14]	DaemonFC	The prosecutor was trying to keep his voice down but the judge asked why they were so lenient and I heard him say "bad case" "not much actual evidence" and "we weren't confident in it".
[15:15]	DaemonFC	So that was actually what was going on, on their side of the room, years ago.
[15:15]	DaemonFC	It kind of pisses you off to hear that their assessment of the case was they were throwing it to try to get something out of you because it was a coin toss.
[15:16]	DaemonFC	My assessment of it at the time was that it was so much less terrible than what could happen that I didn't want to take the realistic odds in court, even if they were only 50%.
[15:16]	DaemonFC	So compromise. Everyone walks away feeling like they got taken advantage of.
[15:17]	DaemonFC	I decided to not be pissed off about that, because you can look at it from the angle of "You played it as well as you could and they didn't think you gave them much."
[15:17]	DaemonFC	That's smarter than most people.
[15:18]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], I was talking to one of those language models about how I feel disrespected by most people I interact with.
[15:19]	DaemonFC	It said to try to remember that I'm not responsible for how people choose to treat me, but what I can do is choose not to feel bad about their disrespectful behavior.
[15:19]	DaemonFC	I figure these things are at least as competent as most therapists you pay money to.
[15:20]	DaemonFC	How many people really treat you with impudence over the years?
[15:20]	DaemonFC	How many of them really do matter?

[15:20]	DaemonFC	Not many.
[15:20]	DaemonFC	A lot of them are so far in my past now, and dead in some cases. They don't even exist anymore either for practical purposes or in actuality, but I do.
[15:21]	DaemonFC	And I can either be miserable over what people who don't matter said a long time ago or I can ignore it and figure I'm here and they're not.
[15:22]	DaemonFC	My Grandmother was very arrogant and mean, and she's sitting in a nursing home rotting away now. She's lost her mind to the point where she can't recall what happened 60 seconds ago sometimes and asks the same question.
[15:22]	DaemonFC	She remembers how to be mean, but then she ends up in a loop because she doesn't remember that she already said that 1 minute ago, so she'll do the same thing again.
[15:23]	DaemonFC	The doctor taking care of her is clearly incompetent.
[15:23]	DaemonFC	He's put her on dementia medicine, but it's approved for Alzheimer's which she does not have.
[15:24]	DaemonFC	So the method of action is wrong, and nobody knows what it will do, not even the doctor.
[15:24]	DaemonFC	And she's lost her marbles so they say here's a pill and she swallows it.

[15:26]	schestowitz[TR]	but it is rare
[15:26]	schestowitz[TR]	and you spend a lot of time and effort trying to keep alive
[15:26]	DaemonFC	His dad was a violent alcoholic that drank up all his money from the GM factory and wasn't feeding his kids.

[17:22]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], So you're not the only one this has happened to and won't be the last. Your king shared his roasted potato recipe and then delayed the trip to Paris until they finish stealing two more years of the pensions again and things calm down a bit.
[17:22]	DaemonFC	Don't want any eggings.
[17:22]	DaemonFC	Eggy in a basketcase. (the king)
[17:23]	DaemonFC	He isn't required to work or deal with the pensions mess.
[17:24]	DaemonFC	So meanwhile, across the street your Parliament debates how best to shut down the UK welfare state, complaining of people sitting on their ass all the time doing nothing, idle, waiting for more taxpayer money.
[17:25]	DaemonFC	While in the meantime you have a royal family that costs more than 50,000 of the people "on the dole" that they do talk about.
[17:25]	DaemonFC	Applying for winter heat assistance for the palace.
[17:25]	DaemonFC	Which palace?
[17:25]	DaemonFC	Oh just the Buckingham Palace. Why do you think we can soak them to heat the others too?
[17:25]	MinceR	26 152052 < schestowitz[TR]> MinceR: is Wizz Air "ok-ish"?
[17:26]	schestowitz[TR]	or orcish?

[17:26]	DaemonFC	These gas bills really are getting through the roof. It's not like a country full of people who have to sit around with hot water bottles is going to have opinions about this....
[17:26]	MinceR	easyJet was nicer and Air Berlin was much better than either (but it's gone)
[17:26]	DaemonFC	The idle rich. Nobody ever talks about them.
[17:27]	DaemonFC	The king has a nice gig. No work, wave at football games sometimes. Only one in the country that doesn't need a driver's license or passport. Soaks everyone in the country while the TV license vans are out there pointing their little pointy stick at Roy.
[17:27]	DaemonFC	Wondering if he's opted out of his TV license inappropriately.
[17:28]	DaemonFC	So they can go get a warrant and kick in the door.
[17:29]	DaemonFC	Out of all the things going wrong in America, at least nobody forces me to pay "TV License' for some fucking garbage that Bill Gates corrupts anyway.
[17:29]	DaemonFC	I suppose they get some money out of the general fund, but it's not very much.
[17:29]	DaemonFC	I think I worked it out once and every US taxpayer gives the Corporation for Public Broadcasting like 8 cents a year on average.
[17:29]	schestowitz[TR]	MinceR: thanks

[17:30]	DaemonFC	Nobody in the UK asks if you find BBC valuable or not.
[17:30]	DaemonFC	Or worth funding.
[17:30]	schestowitz[TR]	for bill it is worth funding
[17:30]	DaemonFC	And then apparently if you watch TV on anything and it's not even BBC you have to pay BBC.
[17:30]	schestowitz[TR]	it covers up his crime
[17:30]	schestowitz[TR]	for slush funds
[17:31]	schestowitz[TR]	DaemonFC: 
[17:31]	schestowitz[TR]	yes, TV Licensing(TM)
[17:31]	schestowitz[TR]	i boycott them
[17:31]	DaemonFC	I really seriously doubt that anyone from the TV License vans knows if you're in there bittorrenting over a VPN and then watching it.
[17:31]	DaemonFC	They might know about streaming sticks by monitoring Internet traffic through BT or something.
[17:32]	DaemonFC	So that very well may draw unwanted attention.
[17:33]	DaemonFC	Bard: "TV Licensing uses a number of methods to find people who are not paying them, including:
[17:33]	DaemonFC	Random checks: TV Licensing officers will randomly check homes to see if they have a TV licence.
[17:33]	DaemonFC	Reports from neighbors: Neighbors can report to TV Licensing if they suspect that someone is not paying their licence.
[17:33]	DaemonFC	Information from the DVLA: The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) shares information with TV Licensing about people who have bought cars or vans. This information includes the address of the property where the vehicle is registered.
[17:33]	DaemonFC	Data from TV providers: TV providers share information with TV Licensing about their customers. This information includes the address of the property where the TV is installed.
[17:33]	DaemonFC	If TV Licensing finds that someone is not paying their licence, they will send them a letter and a fine. If the person does not pay the fine, they may be taken to court."
[17:33]	DaemonFC	LOL, turn your neighbors in!
[17:33]	DaemonFC	Just like East Germany.
[17:35]	DaemonFC	It says you don't have to let TV License in unless they have a warrant.
[17:35]	DaemonFC	And you don't have to tell them why they can't come in.
[17:37]	DaemonFC	"es, a TV license inspector is powerless if you tell them to leave your property. They do not have the authority to enter your home without your permission, and they cannot force you to pay a TV license if you do not want to.
[17:37]	DaemonFC	If a TV license inspector comes to your door, you are under no obligation to answer it. You can simply ignore them and go about your day. If they refuse to leave, you can call the police and report them for trespassing.
[17:37]	DaemonFC	It is important to note that a TV license inspector is not a government official. They are employed by the TV Licensing Agency, which is a private company. They do not have any legal powers, and they cannot enforce any laws.
[17:37]	DaemonFC	If you are not sure how to deal with a TV license inspector, you can always contact the TV Licensing Agency for advice."
[17:41]	DaemonFC	<schestowitz[TR]> yes, TV Licensing(TM)
[17:41]	DaemonFC	Sounds pretty toothless.
[17:41]	DaemonFC	If they try to "catch you watching TV" they could be arrested for trespass and peeping tom.

[18:29]	TR Bot	 Trump lawyer: Former presidents attack on Bragg was ill-advised | The Hill
[18:29]	DaemonFC	Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with attacking the prosecutor and calling him an "animal"?
[18:31]	DaemonFC	When you have your own attorney rushing to put distance from you...
[18:31]	DaemonFC	Taking Trump on as a client shows bad decision making process.
[18:32]	DaemonFC	He's left a lot of attorneys in his wake paying massive court fines, sitting in jail, losing their law license....some didn't even get paid.
[18:32]	DaemonFC	There's a price for annoying and harassing the court and its officers.
[18:33]	DaemonFC	One of those is that when you are verbally abusing the prosecutor like this, the judge can hold you in criminal contempt and you don't even get a jury on that one. 
[18:33]	DaemonFC	The judge in the case can pretty much use contempt however they want to maintain the order and the decorum of the court process.
[18:34]	DaemonFC	The whole idea is that nobody wants to be in court and most people really hate the court, so it's a crime to become visibly flustered and to an extent that it interferes with the proceedings.
[18:36]	DaemonFC	What that actually means depends a lot on the judge's bullshit threshold. Some are quicker to do this than others, but trying the judge's patience is bad even if he doesn't use contempt. He can come up to a point where he has to make a ruling on something and he doesn't like you.
[18:38]	DaemonFC	https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/3916738-how-jerome-powells-economic-moves-put-pressure-on-biden/
[18:38]	TR Bot	 How Jerome Powells economic moves put pressure on Biden | The Hill
[18:39]	DaemonFC	"For Cause" has never been tested in this case because nobody's ever tried to fire a Fed Chair, but I doubt it would hold up in court. The President can fire anyone he appointed in the first place. There were similar incidents involving the CFPB and Social Security Administration, and those laws said "for cause", but the president did it anyway.
[18:39]	DaemonFC	The court ruled in the CFPB case that "for cause" was unacceptable because the "Independent Agencies" still answer to the President.
[18:40]	DaemonFC	So the result of this is that there can be a complete bloodbath with an incoming administration as long as the law has a provision regarding removal from office.
[18:41]	DaemonFC	It just hasn't happened yet. In Biden's case, he changed the locks on the Social Security Commissioner's office and fired Andrew Saul and nobody did anything about it.
[18:41]	DaemonFC	I laughed pretty hard.
[18:41]	DaemonFC	The SSA started the process to terminate all of Andrew Saul's proposed regulations to harass Disability Claimants more.
[18:42]	DaemonFC	Trump had the idea that they'd just run more aggressive and frequent CDRs on everyone who has mental health problems and see how many they could pry out of there that way.
[18:43]	DaemonFC	Almost nobody reported on the proposed rule change. I mean, what's tens of thousands more people with untreated mental illness eating out of the garbage at Metra and screaming at things only they can see because nobody's helping them get their meds.
[18:43]	DaemonFC	Right, schestowitz[TR] ?

[18:47]	DaemonFC	They have people like my mother so wrapped up in her own worries that she just never thinks about anyone else.
[18:47]	DaemonFC	She buys into the idea that no matter how horrible what the Republican just said, it was about other people. Not her.

[19:00]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], I doubt he'll sell it, and if he does he's going to have to come down. A lot.
[19:00]	DaemonFC	You can't push something like this past a buyer and say "You might make your first dollar of profit in thirty years.
[19:01]	DaemonFC	He really shit the bed on dilly dallying until interest rates were through the roof and the banks fell over, schestowitz[TR] 
[19:01]	DaemonFC	Now he's either going to have to hold onto it or commit to the bed shitting, and it depends on how badly he needs how much money right now.
[19:01]	schestowitz[TR]	did wordpress.com reply to you yet?
[19:01]	schestowitz[TR]	don't forget to cc matt
[19:01]	DaemonFC	Nope.
[19:01]	schestowitz[TR]	he's the most senior person there
[19:02]	DaemonFC	I can sign in, but it says I have no blogs.
[19:02]	schestowitz[TR]	he knew me for 20 years
[19:02]	schestowitz[TR]	anyway, it's sunday there
[19:02]	schestowitz[TR]	give them till monday/tue
[19:02]	schestowitz[TR]	it's also st. patrick
[19:02]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], I see it like this.
[19:02]	DaemonFC	He missed the boat and if he doesn't want to take a huge buzz cut on the sale price, he's stuck with it for 2-3 years.
[19:02]	DaemonFC	Maybe longer.
[19:03]	schestowitz[TR]	good
[19:03]	schestowitz[TR]	stuck is good
[19:03]	schestowitz[TR]	and if he has many empty units
[19:03]	schestowitz[TR]	less competition
[19:03]	schestowitz[TR]	less demand
[19:03]	schestowitz[TR]	lower prices
[19:03]	DaemonFC	Now people are panicked and throwing out beds and couches.
[19:03]	DaemonFC	So he just opened up another can of worms.
[19:03]	schestowitz[TR]	why throw them out?
[19:04]	DaemonFC	Apparently people here noticed that this behavior was very odd.
[19:04]	schestowitz[TR]	to hide damage they did?
[19:04]	schestowitz[TR]	DaemonFC: people talk
[19:04]	schestowitz[TR]	it's contagious
[19:04]	DaemonFC	No, throwing them out by the dumpster and moving out.
[19:04]	schestowitz[TR]	it's enough for one tenant to find outt
[19:04]	schestowitz[TR]	then ssspeak to a mate next door
[19:04]	schestowitz[TR]	or across the hall
[19:04]	schestowitz[TR]	no more 12-month leases
[19:04]	schestowitz[TR]	"PAYG"
[19:05]	DaemonFC	He's signing a 12 month lease for that one that just opened up. Available April 1.
[19:05]	schestowitz[TR]	good!
[19:05]	DaemonFC	I guess that means he has someone in there busting ass fixing it up enough to rent again.
[19:05]	schestowitz[TR]	haha, here is one
[19:06]	schestowitz[TR]	tell the landlord
[19:06]	DaemonFC	That he went back to listing units here tells me that he at least has his doubts about this contract.
[19:06]	schestowitz[TR]	i want THAT unit
[19:06]	schestowitz[TR]	starting november
[19:06]	schestowitz[TR]	for 12 months
[19:06]	DaemonFC	If he expected to be out of here in less than a month then why would he even bother?
[19:06]	schestowitz[TR]	same price
[19:06]	DaemonFC	He's leaving breadcrumbs for me.
[19:06]	schestowitz[TR]	nom nom nom nom nom nom nom 
[19:06]	DaemonFC	He can avoid talking to me but he can't make all of his behavior unobserved. 
[19:07]	DaemonFC	Why sign a lease if you're done with this place days or weeks from now?
[19:07]	DaemonFC	Why do you give a fuck if they have to find one tenant to fill a vacancy?
[19:08]	DaemonFC	This thing is obviously either unraveling or he feels unconfident in it.
[19:08]	schestowitz[TR]	yup
[19:08]	DaemonFC	But now he's put everyone on high alert that maybe they should get lost and find another place because who knows what he'll do.
[19:08]	schestowitz[TR]	sleep well
[19:08]	schestowitz[TR]	i will
[19:08]	schestowitz[TR]	back in some hours to publish the video/article about wordpress.com
[19:09]	schestowitz[TR]	made tuxmachines-new backup over rsync
[19:09]	schestowitz[TR]	gn
[19:09]	DaemonFC	Do you feel like he could have handled this situation a lot better?
[19:09]	schestowitz[TR]	yrd
[19:09]	schestowitz[TR]	catch-22 though
[19:09]	DaemonFC	I see a few ways. Come down to a more reasonable price, list it sooner than he did, avoid panicking tenants somehow.
[19:10]	DaemonFC	He could have avoided panicking tenants by being more transparent and admitting whatever plans the new owners had and introducing them as potential buyers.
[19:11]	DaemonFC	The way I see it is he holds his own renters in contempt, sees it as so far below him to explain anything, and that's not working out real well for him.
[19:11]		*Noisytoot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[19:11]	DaemonFC	I don't think that it's logical that they'd take the building over, wait out the leases and boot everyone.
[19:12]	DaemonFC	So why not just say "Hi, this is Bill and his business partner Jim and they want to buy the building, but there's no need to worry because they'll take over your lease and they plan to keep doing business as usual."?

[21:35]	DaemonFC	The politicians here are so stupid they didn't realize that if the town manager question passes, it forces a cutback that gets rid of three aldermen and makes the City Council "At-Large" so they can't gerrymander it.
[21:36]	DaemonFC	So they accidentally pushed for a referendum to get rid of them and take away their fiefdoms.
[21:36]	DaemonFC	Then they panicked because it'll probably pass and so they placed a question on next year's ballot which may not even be legal to ask voters if they want 9 wards like there are now.
[21:37]	DaemonFC	MinceR, ^
[21:38]	DaemonFC	"Do you want MOAR politicians?" Yeah, no.

[22:13]	DaemonFC	It's fairly obvious that Google never would have tried to make a product out of Bard except that they're freaking out about LLMs in search results, which is bananas considering they mostly just take up screen real estate on top of actual search results and lie to you and hallucinate things.
[22:13]	DaemonFC	I asked ChatGPT if Illinois law requires my landlord to tell me if he's thinking of selling the building, it said yes, it pointed to a section of the Illinois Compiled Statutes that doesn't exist.
[22:19]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz @DaemonFC
[22:19]	DaemonFC	I went further, and ChatGPT not only cited a section of Illinois law that does not exist, but it went further and made up an entire list of deadlines and potential court remedies under the law that it hallucinated about landlords selling their building without notifying the tenants.
