[00:24]	DaemonFC	schestowitz__[TR], Windows had an even worse year in 2020.
[00:25]	DaemonFC	Down by 12 points according to PornHub.
[00:25]	DaemonFC	Mac users gained heavily in 2020 and then in 2021 it was Linux and Chrome OS.
[00:25]	schestowitz__[TR]	seems very OS-centric

[00:33]	DaemonFC	schestowitz-TR2, We saw a Windows 11 commercial for the Surface 8 or something just a few minutes ago.
[00:33]	schestowitz-TR2	DaemonFC: Microsoft was approached for comment on the news
[00:33]	DaemonFC	They continue pushing this turd like people like it.
[00:33]	schestowitz-TR2	its spokesperson blamed a "bunch of wankers"
[00:33]	DaemonFC	So the ad blitz hasn't dried up completely.
[00:34]	DaemonFC	PornHub is easily one of the most trafficked sites on the entire internet, and they own most of the other big names in porn too.
[00:34]	DaemonFC	It's fair to say they get a good cross-sample of Web users regardless.
[00:35]	schestowitz__[TR]	AdmFubar1: seems to be an ads

[00:35]	DaemonFC	The credit card networks still haven't let them back in.
[00:35]	DaemonFC	They still want a routing number to take "Premium" membership out of your bank account directly.
[00:36]	DaemonFC	It wasn't even all of the credit card networks that cut them off.
[00:36]	DaemonFC	I think AmEx and Discover didn't.
[00:36]	DaemonFC	Visa and MasterCard did.
[00:37]	DaemonFC	But PornHub got out in front of it and threw the other networks out even though they weren't blocked.

[00:37]	TR Bot	 [users] Question: link rot, how are you going about it?
[00:37]	DaemonFC	I mean, it makes sense if you think about it. MindGeek takes in billions of dollars. The interchange fees on that alone must be tens of millions.
[00:37]	DaemonFC	Every year.
[00:37]	DaemonFC	So they just cut out the cards completely.
[00:38]	DaemonFC	The problem is if you give your routing number to them and they get "hacked", then you are a potential victim of fraud due to lists of routing numbers leaking.
[00:38]	DaemonFC	Plus, I mean, like, it's kind of embarrassing to even call and complain to someone that PornHub won't stop billing you, and they know that.
[00:39]	schestowitz__[TR]	the copyright cartel is experimenting with streaming and DRM
[00:39]	schestowitz__[TR]	everything as subscription
[00:39]	schestowitz__[TR]	but for pr0n it has many reasons to fail
[00:39]	schestowitz__[TR]	people don't need "the latest"
[00:39]	schestowitz__[TR]	it's not a TV show
[00:39]	DaemonFC	Yeah, porn is kind of piece work now. The whole industry has moved away from "discs".
[00:39]	DaemonFC	No, I mean even old porn, it's like who cares.

[00:46]	DaemonFC	Yes, going to boot up Fedora and getting "This system cannot boot due to a security policy." is making Desktop Linux work better.
[00:46]	Ariadne	oh well, i have low expectations from the company which brought us systemd to maintain anything correctly
[00:46]	schestowitz__[TR]	he is not a kernel hacker

[00:47]	DaemonFC	I install my security updates right away.
[00:47]	Ariadne	it is possible to sign your kernels, but its a pain in the ass
[00:48]	schestowitz__[TR]	it also does not tackle the real-world threats
[00:48]	Ariadne	in Alpine 3.15, it will ask you if you want to set up secure boot, and if so, it will set up everything to automatically sign the kernels, and enroll the key into secure boot
[00:48]	schestowitz__[TR]	like packages dot microsoft dot com
[00:48]	schestowitz__[TR]	in your repos list
[00:48]	Ariadne	but you need to remove microsoft's key from your secure boot
[00:48]	Ariadne	to make it actually secure
[00:48]	Ariadne	otherwise an "evil maid" can just drop a fedora USB key in
[00:48]	Ariadne	since fedora's bootloader is signed with microsoft's key

[00:50]	schestowitz__[TR]	it's faked branding

[00:50]	DaemonFC	We're supposed to believe that a company that can't maintain simple client software knows anything about security.

[02:21]	DaemonFC	The courts have effectively ruled that porn is speech.
[02:21]	DaemonFC	If it's obscenity, then copyrights don't apply to it and nobody can be sued for sharing it.
[02:21]	DaemonFC	And courts have repeatedly declared that copyrights do apply to porn.
[02:22]	DaemonFC	On the other hand, porn is a gigantic drain to the American economy.
[02:22]	DaemonFC	Mindgeek is not an American company and they've managed to destroy most of the other megaporn companies.
[02:23]	DaemonFC	So it represents a gigantic outflow of cash into.....Canada.
[02:23]	DaemonFC	This raises an interesting legal problem regarding NAFTA/USMCA.
[02:24]	DaemonFC	Under the original NAFTA, Canada would be well within their rights to sue the United States government in an arbitration scheme stacked with corporate lawyers for the lost revenue to their pornography companies and their subsidiaries. 
[02:24]	DaemonFC	But under the USMCA, they can't.
[02:25]	DaemonFC	The USMCA only allows investor state disputes if they were already in process under NAFTA.
[02:26]	DaemonFC	So if the US Department of State declared that banks would be sanctioned if they allowed payment to PornHub, Canada couldn't really do much and would just lose the revenue.
[02:26]	DaemonFC	Interestingly, the main sticking point between the US and Canada under Legacy NAFTA investor state disputes is the issue of "soft wood". ;)
[02:26]	DaemonFC	MinceR, ^
[02:29]	DaemonFC	All joking aside, there's an interesting alliance between the far left and the far right, ostensibly anyway (although they probably slink off and masturbate too, I'm guessing...) that says that porn is smut and a sin on the right and on the left it victimizes #allwomen even though nobody actually stuck a microphone in front of all women to get the opinion of all women, or even just a statistical random sampling controlling for an error margin, 
[02:29]	DaemonFC	of say......10,000 women or so.
[02:30]	DaemonFC	And what about men? They get paid less!
[02:30]	DaemonFC	Except the one that owns the company....
[02:32]	DaemonFC	It turns out that men are willing to accept lower pay because there's a lot more demand for them to get on scene in the first place, although I don't know why. I've heard it's awkward and goes on for hours, and some of them have to take Viagra to get through it, and it only pays a couple of hundred dollars even though you have to be there all day.
[02:32]	DaemonFC	Sounds like it's more exploitative to men.
[02:32]	DaemonFC	Oh, I'm sorry.... "People with penises.".
[02:33]	DaemonFC	"People who ejaculate?"
[02:33]	DaemonFC	Persons more likely to exceed six feet tall?
[02:33]	DaemonFC	I swear there used to be a name for this.
[02:34]	IPFS	IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 9.08 k/sec., IPFS upstream 113.86 average k/sec., average swarm size 248.38
[02:35]	DaemonFC	I don't think there's anything morally objectionable to porn, just like violence on TV.
[02:35]	DaemonFC	The people who complain about violence on TV, I used to joke about them.
[02:35]	DaemonFC	"As I stood there, with my children, television on, people being shot and blown up.....powerless to do anything about it...."
[02:37]	MinceR	lol
[02:37]	DaemonFC	Maybe if people want there to be less porn, instead of abusing the courts and making up laws that will be broken....
[02:37]	DaemonFC	They should create actual jobs that pay actual money....

[04:30]	DaemonFC	Optometrists are at high risk of talking themselves out of a job. In Canada, it's not uncommon for people to skip the optometrist completely and get an eyeglass prescription for about $20 by going to someone who has a device that just goes "1 or 2, 1 or 2,..." until you have your eyeglass prescription. Optometrists don't want anyone to know that there's absolutely no black magic involved in figuring out what your eyeglass prescription is. They 
[04:30]	DaemonFC	sell computer software and a USB device from China that can figure it out.
[04:31]	DaemonFC	schestowitz-TR2, There's a bumper sticker I like.
[04:31]	DaemonFC	"Keep honking, I'm reloading."
[04:33]	DaemonFC	If the optometrists don't stop fighting us for our eyeglass prescriptions, pretty soon nobody will even go to them for those.
[04:34]	DaemonFC	We'll just have people who have a simple storefront and a machine from China.
[04:34]	DaemonFC	Sometimes you just have to knock over all the anthills. 
[04:34]	DaemonFC	These people have gotten too fucking greedy.
[04:35]	DaemonFC	75% of us need eyeglasses and cannot afford "luxury" brands. What are those, even? Someone's name on a pair of plastic.
[04:35]	DaemonFC	It's hilarious too, because the cheap online stores have cloned pretty much all the popular designs.
[04:36]	DaemonFC	They don't copy them exactly, but absolutely nobody is going to notice or care that you didn't get brand name frames.

[04:37]	DaemonFC	That's exactly what Consumerism is though. It's people spending money they don't have to impress people who don't care.
[04:37]	DaemonFC	So why would eyeglasses be off limits?
[04:38]	DaemonFC	"The Biden administration announced that Americans with health insurance can get their at-home COVID-19 tests reimbursed."
[04:38]	DaemonFC	I don't see why the insurance companies would fight him on this. I don't know why they weren't just doing this to begin with.
[04:38]	DaemonFC	It costs them over $150 to send one COVID test out to a lab.
[04:38]	DaemonFC	A COVID quick test retails for about $20.
[04:39]	DaemonFC	Of course, I intend to stay clear of that one that requires a smartphone.
[04:39]	DaemonFC	I told the pharmacist "Thanks, but no thanks.".
[04:40]	DaemonFC	That way instead of a line turning red for COVID and blue for not COVID or something, it sends the data off to the company, and then back down to the government.

[05:06]	DaemonFC	They like to monopolize routine stuff that's not rocket science so they can stick you with a bill for a thousand dollars just to tell you you're fine.

[12:21]	DaemonFC	Seasonal flu kills 40,000-60,000 according to CDC estimates.
[12:21]	DaemonFC	So a flu that kills 12,000 is a pandemic and an emergency.
[12:21]	DaemonFC	This is why nobody takes the government seriously.
[12:22]	DaemonFC	George Ouzounian (sp?) AKA Maddox was making fun of COVID.
[12:22]	DaemonFC	Every time he mentions it, he says Swine Flu and puts a strikethrough in that and then says COVID.
[12:24]	DaemonFC	Stallman also promotes anti-white racism.
[12:24]	DaemonFC	He points out that Republicans engage in racist gerrymandering to minimize the voting power of blacks.
[12:24]	DaemonFC	Illinois gerrymandered to minimize the voting power of white people.
[12:25]	DaemonFC	They created House districts for the next ten years that make sure that white people can only control the outcome of 3 out of 17 House districts in the state despite being over 70% of the population.
[12:25]	DaemonFC	Stallman forgot to mention this.
[12:25]	DaemonFC	Maybe I can remind him.
[12:26]	DaemonFC	The net result of gerrymandering is _probably_ that overall, the party composition of the House is close to how the national vote breaks down, but....
[12:26]	DaemonFC	In each district, it means that 90% of the districts can be called as soon as the party primary is over, and it affects the quality of candidate you can have.
[12:27]	DaemonFC	They don't need to worry about representing their entire district, just beting the other members of their own party.
[12:27]	DaemonFC	Indiana apparently could have done more gerrymandering if it wanted to.
[12:28]	DaemonFC	The Republicans decided to make sure that none of their current representatives could possibly lose their elections than try to pick off the last two Democrats for sure.
[12:28]	DaemonFC	So Illinois is even more gerrymandered than Indiana is, because the Democrats had control of the process in fewer states, and depended on it for maximum chance of a House majority.
[12:29]	DaemonFC	The minority party in the House doesn't do very much, so you may as well go for broke if you're in a weaker position during redistricting.
[12:30]	DaemonFC	It would have been possible to creat a map for Indiana that was fair and gave the Republicans an 85% chance of holding all 11 House districts.
[12:31]	DaemonFC	They chose to leave two Democrats in Congress for sure, around NWI and Indianapolis.
[12:31]	DaemonFC	So Stallman is very wrong.
[12:31]	DaemonFC	The Democrats have drawn up the least democratic and the most racist maps in the country.

[21:55]	DaemonFC	Then they can get the marketshare back because the price difference is no longer worth the hassle and guesswork, and they can raise prices again later when the online stores give up.

[22:15]	DaemonFC	And I doubt that most of them are going to sit idly by while she ruins their local economy with vaccine passport "mandates", which aren't even a law, which weren't even passed by the Cook County Board into an Ordinance.
[22:15]	DaemonFC	Which they could do, if they wanted to.
[22:15]	DaemonFC	Democrats now control the Board 14-2.
[22:16]	DaemonFC	So they could pass an Ordinance that claims they have the authority to do this, but they let Preckwinkle issue it on much shakier legal ground. An "emergency order" directly from Preckwinkle. Wow.

[23:50]	DaemonFC	Peter Staley is the Greta Thunberg of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
[23:50]	DaemonFC	He led a bunch of gay men dying of AIDS to chain themselves to the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange to protest the prices of AZT.
[23:50]	DaemonFC	The manufacturer got egg all over their face in the press, which picked it up, and lowered the price from $10,000 to $6,000, which was still impossible for most people to afford.

[23:52]	DaemonFC	I had to change my landline phone number to get him to stop calling and pay the phone company more money to make it an unlisted number.
[23:53]	DaemonFC	What he was doing was a crime, of course, but who was going to punish him for doing it?
[23:53]	DaemonFC	Making someone's phone ring to harass or annoy them is a misdemeanor count of Disorderly Conduct.
[23:54]	DaemonFC	A Class B Misdemeanor in Indiana, and Indiana law applied because he was doing it to me while I lived there.
[23:54]	DaemonFC	Technically, if the police wanted to, they could have issued an arrest warrant for Staley and charged him with a Class B Misdemeanor.
[23:54]	DaemonFC	I talked to them but they refused to pursue it.
[23:55]	DaemonFC	That carries a maximum of 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,500 and court costs.
[23:56]	DaemonFC	The police don't care if you're a crime victim if you're gay, unless they can get another gay man in serious trouble.
