[02:19] IsambardPrince MinceR, My Wahl clippers just exploded.
[02:19] IsambardPrince Made a terrible smell.
[02:20] IsambardPrince I thought about getting another pair, but WAHLmart didn't have the one I wanted. :P
[02:20] MinceR :>
[02:20] IsambardPrince So I went to Amazon.
[02:22] IsambardPrince MinceR, So the liars say that I support Trump.
[02:23] IsambardPrince Here's what I said about Trump.
[02:23] IsambardPrince "Unfortunately, leaving a country that the Conservatives ruined (the Philippines) was the only way my spouse could have gotten out of the dire poverty that was there.
[02:23] IsambardPrince But it won't work for everyone.
[02:23] IsambardPrince All anyone wants to talk about is how Desi Arnaz fled the Communist uprising in Cuba, but even that wasn't as bad as the Marcoses and Duterte in the Philippines.
[02:23] IsambardPrince And Trump has more in common with Duterte than he does with any leader in the free world.
[02:23] IsambardPrince There's an International Criminal Court warrant out for Duterte. There should be one out for Donald Trump except that it would be almost impossible to make him stand trial.
[02:23] IsambardPrince Yes, I said that Donald Trump is worse than the Cuban Revolution and he is a war criminal."
[02:23] IsambardPrince ---
[02:23] IsambardPrince You know what I think about turning Americans over to the ICC.
[02:23] IsambardPrince But there's an easy way to fix that.
[02:24] IsambardPrince Strip Trump of his citizenship, make him Stateless, and then turn him over.
[02:24] IsambardPrince Then he won't be an American anymore and our policy of not turning over Americans will be intact.
[02:25] IsambardPrince Calling Trump worse than a Communist uprising is a pretty bold statement.
[02:25] IsambardPrince But I like to go big.
[02:36] eidolon Desi Arnaz is talk of the town here as well.
[02:36] eidolon It is relentless.
[02:37] IsambardPrince Older Republicans like to point out that Desi Arnaz had to flee political persecution after the Cuban Revolution.
[02:37] IsambardPrince They arrested his uncle and disappeared him for being a town mayor they didn't like.
[02:37] IsambardPrince They confiscated all the property.
[02:37] IsambardPrince Desi was lucky enough to escape with the shirt on his back from these people.
[02:38] IsambardPrince They repressed all of the human rights of the Cuban people and set up a dictatorship where nobody has much of anything.
[02:38] IsambardPrince That's why I said Trump is worse than the Cuban Revolution.
[02:38] IsambardPrince Project 2025 sounds much worse than that.
[02:40] IsambardPrince The previous government wasn't good but this one is much worse than that one was.
[02:40] IsambardPrince They don't even let you film things like their grocery stores.
[02:40] IsambardPrince They don't want to embarrass the regime when it becomes obvious that people have almost no money and there wouldn't be anything to buy at the store that day if they did.
[02:40] IsambardPrince This is how economies tend to work under Communism.
[02:41] IsambardPrince It says from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.
[02:41] IsambardPrince There's no reward for excelling, so few do.
[02:42] IsambardPrince Some people will even if there's not much to gain from it, many people just do the bare minimum because there's no reward for working harder or trying to get ahead.
[02:42] IsambardPrince And although the US is certainly not Communist, the same thing is happening here.
[02:42] IsambardPrince The social mobility isn't gone, but that's not from the Republican Party's lack of trying.
[02:43] IsambardPrince The motivation to work harder and try to get ahead hasn't evaporated, but it's not what it once was because the Democrats give people handouts for being broke that disappear if you work harder.
[02:44] eidolon The handouts are tantamount to accepting a bribe from the government.
[02:44] IsambardPrince The bargain used to be that there were some poor people but those were jsut bums that had no work ethic and motivation. You could make something of your life by not being like them.
[02:44] eidolon Changes the whole dynamic of things in regard to any social mobility.
[02:44] IsambardPrince Today it's "You will stay where you're at and take the food stamps and Medicaid."
[02:44] IsambardPrince "If you complain, we will hurt you."

[07:49] IsambardPrince They need to quit fucking around.
[07:49] IsambardPrince You get caught with a gun and no permit it should not be a misdmeanor or a low grade felony.
[07:49] IsambardPrince It should be a death sentence.
[07:49] IsambardPrince It's obvious why you would carry without a permit.
[07:49] IsambardPrince And what the gun would be used for.
[07:50] IsambardPrince If you slap them with a misdemeanor, they'll be out tomorrow and buy a new gun.
[07:50] IsambardPrince Then you have that idiot Democrat prosecutor showing off all the guns they "recovered" while violent crime goes through the roof.
[07:50] IsambardPrince All he does by catching these people is cause them to buy more guns.
[07:51] IsambardPrince They won't even wait until they're off probation, they may not even report to probation.
[07:51] IsambardPrince When you have a civilized justice system, you have to have a civilized public that respects it and obeys.
[07:51] IsambardPrince If you can't have that, you have to have a nastier system that doesn't make requests.
[07:52] IsambardPrince If these people don't obey and stop breaking the law, it's time for some frontier justice.
[07:52] eidolon You would carry without a permit in one of the many Constitutional Carry states.
[07:53] IsambardPrince You're still carrying illegally there if you're a convicted felon.
[07:53] IsambardPrince So the system just automatically grants a permit to everyone else.
[07:55] IsambardPrince There's an assumption that people who get gun permits and pass background checks like I did are going to be people who are not dangerous, and are of higher character within the community.
[07:55] IsambardPrince For the most part, 99.1% of the time, that assumption works well.
[07:55] IsambardPrince It's a reactive system though.
[07:56] IsambardPrince If you're a convicted criminal, a domestic abuser, or a certifiable nutjob, you lose it.
[07:56] IsambardPrince They wouldn't take it away because you got convicted of reckless driving or a DUI or something.
[07:56] IsambardPrince But if it was a violent crime, they sure will.
[07:59] IsambardPrince Where I live, I have the right to "arrest" someone if they are committing a felony.
[07:59] IsambardPrince Where that means detain them and get the police.
[07:59] IsambardPrince If it's a violent felony, like they're trying to rape or kill someone, I have the right to shoot them if that's what it takes to make them stop.

[12:05] schestowitz[TR2] :D
[12:05] schestowitz[TR2] not yet
[12:05] schestowitz[TR2] they will figure something out
[12:05] Righty I'd like to see microsoft sabotage GNUboot.
[12:05] schestowitz[TR2] maybe some micromole will be sent your way
[12:06] schestowitz[TR2] Righty: bios and boot or bios in uefi clothing come earlier
[12:06] schestowitz[TR2] they can boot-lock for secure [sic] boot
[12:06] schestowitz[TR2] iow, you cannot
[12:06] schestowitz[TR2] - boot non-windows
[12:06] schestowitz[TR2] -cannot turn off secure boot
[12:06] schestowitz[TR2] -cannot reflash at cmos/rom level
[12:06] schestowitz[TR2] cannot even open the machine
[12:07] schestowitz[TR2] or you lose warranty if you try
[12:07] schestowitz[TR2] after ytou get all those weird pentagram or hexagram scredrivers
[12:07] schestowitz[TR2] and the screwed are not SOLDERED in
[12:07] Righty GNUboot is a BIOS. Sure I have GNU Grub as a payload.
[12:07] schestowitz[TR2] i saw some that are
[12:07] schestowitz[TR2] so yyyou need a soldering gun
[12:07] schestowitz[TR2] to melt down the sscre
[12:07] schestowitz[TR2] good luck not melting or breaaakinf the chassis
[12:08] schestowitz[TR2] so over time they seal it more tight
[12:08] psydroid2 after I replaced the CMOS battery in my uncle's laptop I had to reinstall Debian because the NVRAM had lost its boot drive settings
[12:08] schestowitz[TR2] so fewer and fewer people can bypass the locks
[12:08] schestowitz[TR2] anddd it's reallyt nasty
[12:08] psydroid2 it's the first time I've ever seen such a thing
[12:08] schestowitz[TR2] google does the same
[12:08] schestowitz[TR2] in chromebooks
[12:08] schestowitz[TR2] they might not mind if 1% change the OS
[12:08] schestowitz[TR2] on their razor handle
[12:08] psydroid2 it's good that you only have to replace it once a decade or so
[12:08] schestowitz[TR2] chromebook
[12:09] schestowitz[TR2] to not use their blades (chromeOS/chrome/malware)
[12:09] schestowitz[TR2] but then as more people figure it out
[12:09] schestowitz[TR2] they increase the locking
[12:09] Righty In chromebooks it used to be easy, with only a screw requiring removal to reflash the SPI chip.
[12:09] schestowitz[TR2] to always keep it down to a niche
[12:09] Righty Now it's hard as you need to remove the battery and run some proprietary(?) unlocking software.
[12:09] schestowitz[TR2] Righty: newer ones demand you openm it
[12:09] schestowitz[TR2] lose warrantee
[12:10] schestowitz[TR2] and then even the screws to twist would not twist
[12:10] schestowitz[TR2] like they made iiit not twist
[12:10] schestowitz[TR2] after you opened the whole laptop
[12:10] Righty I'm not sure of any country where merely opening a device voids the warranty.
[12:10] psydroid2 the CMOS battery was also underneath the motherboard, so I really had to open everything to be able to replace
[12:10] Righty Many companies claim such, but such claims are illegal
[12:10] schestowitz[TR2] with all the weird screwdrivers you bought
[12:10] psydroid2 it*
[12:10] schestowitz[TR2] so i tell people not to get chroomebooks
[12:10] schestowitz[TR2] psydroid2: I replied to lxer there

[12:14] psydroid2 I think it's funny that a "modern" end-user computer from 2024 is 10-50 times faster than this one and I can still go online and do things with this anemic one
[12:14] psydroid2 except for the web bloat, I guess
[12:15] psydroid2 but for that you need ever more powerful hardware
[12:15] Righty Computers really haven't gotten 10-50 times faster - memory hasn't gotten that much faster.
[12:16] Righty Computers from 10 years ago are plenty fast really - just with not as good power efficiency.
