[00:50]	IsambardPrince	"By the time Jessica Lindseys customers accuse her of being an AI, they are often already shouting. For the past two years, her work as a call center agent for outsourcing company Concentrix has been punctuated by people at the other end of the phone demanding to speak to a real human. Sometimes they ask her straight, Are you an AI? Other times they just start yelling commands: Speak to a representative! Spe
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	ak to a representative!
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	Lindsey, whose work involves selling and answering questions about credit cards for American Express, a Concentrix client, has developed her own tactics to try to calm customers. I tell them, I promise, Im a real human. To demonstrate, she might cough or giggle, vocal tics she believes AI cant replicate. I even ask them, Is there anything you want me to say to prove that Im a real human?
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	This approach doesnt always work, she said. Skeptical customers are already frustrated from dealing with the automated system that triages calls before they reach a person. So when Lindsey starts reading from her AmEx-approved script, callers are infuriated by what they perceive to be another machine. They just end up yelling at me and hanging up, she said, leaving Lindsey sitting in her home office in Oklahoma, shocke
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	d and sometimes in tears. Like, I cant believe I just got cut down at 9:30 in the morning because they had to deal with the AI before they got to me.
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	Concentrix did not reply to a request for comment. American Express declined to comment."

[01:01]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, A day without the Sci Fi Channel was like a day without sunshine, honestly.
[01:01]	IsambardPrince	25 years ago there wasn't a whole lot else to do.
[01:01]	IsambardPrince	You know, you're sitting there bored and watching MST3K. There is an outside, but it's a small town in Indiana surrounded by corn.
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Have you seen that episode of Star Trek Voyager where they try to make the Q Continuum understandable by humans so they can show Janeway why Quinn wants to commit suicide? He represents it as a gas station and a corner store out in the middle of nowhere with a road that leads this way, and that way. Everyone is just sitting there. Some reading a book or something. A clock with no hands is on the wall. He said he's done 
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	everything, seen everything. He points to a dog laying in front of the store. He says "I was even the dog once." and Q says "We've all taken turns being the dog!"
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	It's a good representation of being in Indiana.
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	Except he can't die.
[01:04]	MinceR	ew
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	He just lives forever. He knows everything that can be known. He's seen everything that he can see, done everything he can do in the entire universe.
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	And now he just gets to be bored, forever.
[01:04]	MinceR	i suspect the small town in indiana is still a better place to be than fucking budapest
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	And so the boredom becomes painful enough that he wants to die.
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Yeah, it was better back then.
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	That town was like living in a bubble where time doesn't really move.
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	You don't notice the rest of the state too much.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	Everything's pretty boring.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	Well kept, but boring.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	Efficiently administered, but boring.
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, When I watched Jericho I imagined the small town I lived in at war with Marion.
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	You remember that episode where they went to war with the next town over.
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	And some of them had built mortars.
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	:D
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I was having trouble with the neighbors propping open the laundry room door and having a bunch of heat and humidity get through and come out near my apartment. So I rigged the magnet so it can't latch the door anymore unless someone pushes it back. Nobody has. That was a week ago.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	I thing the magnet was just catching it. They weren't even propping it open on purpose.

[01:53]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Since Trump's steel tariffs, a $39 mixing bowl set at Amazon went up to $73.
[01:53]	IsambardPrince	So I guess I'll just get another set of plastic ones at Walmart for $11.
[01:54]	IsambardPrince	Valery Legasov: Why? For the same reason our reactors do not have containment buildings around them, like those in the West. For the same reason we don't use properly enriched fuel in our cores. For the same reason we are the only nation that builds water-cooled, graphite-moderated reactors with a positive void coefficient.
[01:54]	IsambardPrince	[pause]
[01:54]	IsambardPrince	Valery Legasov: It's cheaper.
[01:54]	IsambardPrince	:0
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I loved that speech at the end of the series.
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	It WOULD be cheaper to run an RBMK reactor....
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	Except that one exploded and caused the most expensive disaster in history, due to design flaws and corner cutting.
[01:58]	IsambardPrince	Trump's tariffs are not actually creating steel jobs if companies and consumers avoid steel now entirely because it costs too much.
[01:58]	IsambardPrince	But try explaining economics to Trump or anyone dumb enough to vote for Trump.
[01:59]	IsambardPrince	What high steel prices do is create a huge gap between the cost of something that's made of steel and something made of another material.
[01:59]	IsambardPrince	They create an incentive to avoid the tariff, not jobs in the steel industry.
[01:59]	MinceR	and with the commie/nazis winning, there are more people "thinking" that way than ever before

[02:00]	MinceR	our species deserves to wipe itself out
[02:11]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I described a local judge that used to be a prosecutor.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	I said "He's like a turd that won't fucking flush. The voters threw him out but he came back up and now he's a judge."

[03:02]	IsambardPrince	I hate wearing glasses.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	Everything goes splat splat splat.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	Coffee go splat.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	Sneeze and it goes splat.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	It rains....splat splat splat.
[03:05]	IsambardPrince	If you have dandruff, or a hair falls off and lands on the inside of the glasses....They stick to the lens.
[03:06]	IsambardPrince	You go poof pooof poof and some of it comes off, but never all of it.
[03:06]	IsambardPrince	It's always that one speck of dandruff. Lands right in the center.
[03:07]	IsambardPrince	One day I'm going to give up and decide that a 0.1% chance of going blind due to LASIK is worth the 99.9% chance of not having to look through dandruff.

[03:08]	MinceR	i don't think i spend that much on eyeglass wipes
[03:09]	MinceR	i've started experimenting with blowers and microfiber towels too, though i haven't attempted to have the latter washed yet
[03:09]	IsambardPrince	You do if you're like me. The first wipe gets them basically clean but mostly smears it all around.
[03:09]	IsambardPrince	Then they're light streaks.
[03:09]	IsambardPrince	So you open up another wipe and go at it again.
[03:10]	IsambardPrince	you can just go "fuck it" and use Dawn dish soap and rinse them really well and let them dry, then wipe the water spots off with a wipe.
[03:29]	MinceR	my previous method was just rinse it under the tap, wipe with a new wet wipe, rinse again, get the droplets off with a thin stream of water, wipe the remaining water off the frame with a towel

[07:08]	TR News	The Web is fast becoming a "glitch". Looking for information on the Web is tricky, as the signal-to-spam (or slop) ratio decreases fast.
[07:09]	TR News	And "search engines", seeing this trend and recognising the problem, try to become even worse. In the process they tell us we don't need to even visit any sites but just blindly trust GAFAM "wordspew". This is not "AI arms race". Over time people will just give up altogether.
[07:10]	TR News	Slop is what Bannon called "flooding the zone with shit"... before slop was a "thing".
[07:10]	TR News	People will just stop "swimming" in this "zone".
[07:12]	TR News	Yesterday (Sunday) Techrights served 558,849 WWW hits, but many were just worthless bots. Hard to imagine how sites with a large database can justify the cost computing and serving that, as even with caching they would have to do lots of backend work. The bots don't just request the same (cached) pages over and over again.
[07:13]	TR News	Sites that delay or refuse to go static will perish. They will be too expensive and complicated to run. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory
[07:13]	TR Bot	 Dead Internet theory - Wikipedia
[07:13]	TR News	They say evolve or die, publish or perish. Adopting slop isn't the solution, it's merely becoming part of the problem.
[07:14]	TR News	This week Microsoft will join BetaNews. Both became a good example (or examples) of what happens when you adopt slop. Everyone gets laid off, as there's nothing of value left. Even the code is garbage.

[07:16]	TR News	Slop is not "the future", slop is credibility suicide and commercial doom. Just like "pivot to video" was a lie spread by Kapo-Berg. It was just a way to kill news sites but outspending their budget, based on a lie.
[07:16]	IsambardPrince	<schestowitz[TR3]> some kids kill their own parent to own a home

[07:17]	IsambardPrince	My mom doesn't have a home. My dad has a home but I doubt he's leaving me anything even if that bitch he's married to dies before him.
[07:17]	TR News	The Web is becoming a large pool of domains that respond on a couple of ports and most of these domains are parked or Webspam
[07:17]	IsambardPrince	He'll leave it to the Scientologists.
[07:18]	TR News	The protocols themselves are OK. As for HTML, many sites don't do that anymore. Their domains are just an anchor for JavaScript or WASM "webapps". They're not sites but "resources" and they're not user-friendly in any way; it's not even possible to link to things in them.
[07:19]	TR News	That means that "the Web" isn't what "the Web" meant in the 90s. It's just some vague concept and many conflate that with "apps".

[10:06]	IsambardPrince	psydruid, I ran Windows 11 on an old Windows 10 era PC from 2016 for a few days to see how it worked out.
[10:06]	IsambardPrince	Everything was noticeably slower than Windows 10.
[10:07]	IsambardPrince	Even if it was just opening a tab in Brave or something, it was janky. It's all those little things that add up. Or a couple fps in a Steam game. Or more RAM being used because there's features you don't even want, or things that are actively harmful, in Windows 11 that were maybe not even there in Windows 10.
[10:08]	IsambardPrince	But whatever the case, Brave runs fine on Linux on that PC.
[10:08]	IsambardPrince	Everything runs fine in Linux on that PC. It's still as responsive for most uses as a computer you can buy 9 years later that comes with Windows 11.
[10:08]	IsambardPrince	So what is wrong with this picture?
[10:09]	IsambardPrince	Obviously Windows 11 is so inefficient that it's taken, in many ways. Maybe not raw GPU performance or something, but on the CPU end, it's taken 9 years of improvements, and nullified them.
[10:10]	IsambardPrince	Most users will be fine with a desktop and a GPU that's good enough for desktop effects, accelerating videos, and so on.
[10:10]	IsambardPrince	You need to compare Windows 10 and 11 and Linux on the same PC, and you'll see Windows 11 is the slowest of all of them.
[10:10]	itech	you dont want your computer to feel too fast
[10:11]	IsambardPrince	Even when I used Windows, I often downgraded it to the older version.
[10:11]	IsambardPrince	I had PCs that came with Windows XP that for whatever reason, I stuck Windows 98 and Windows 2000 on them.
[10:11]	IsambardPrince	Even Windows 98 on Pentium 4 era systems that Intel said it couldn't run on.
[10:12]	IsambardPrince	It turned out the only block for the drivers was they added detection for Windows 98 and popped up a fake error message.
[10:12]	IsambardPrince	The WDM chipset drivers worked fine. You rebooted, all the hardware came up./
[10:12]	IsambardPrince	Then it was just run RoM II and have it rip out MSIE and all the other garbage, install the Nvidia driver.
[10:13]	IsambardPrince	Yes, I even got Halo 2 for "Vista" to work on Windows 98, but it took some doing.
[10:13]	vanveldt	All of that do not account for the fact that the default Microsoft apps are technically webapps
[10:14]	IsambardPrince	The 2006 redist of DirectX 9.0c, KernelEx, the Halo 2 "XP" community patch that ripped out all the garbage that tested for Vista's kernel and the deliberate crash Microsoft planted halfway into the game.
[10:14]	IsambardPrince	I also had to dll stomp the Games for Windows Live dll with a broken dummy.
[10:15]	IsambardPrince	But in the end, it actually worked.
[10:15]	IsambardPrince	I think what schestowitz[TR3] means is that the problems users run into today are not even necessarily about Microsoft at all.
[10:16]	IsambardPrince	Microsoft is THAT irrelevant that when you run into a problem, they're not even the problem anymore.
[10:16]	vanveldt	MS won't consider it is their problem even when they are to blame for it

[22:15]	IsambardPrince	<schestowitz[TR3]> IsambardPrince: you called this
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	Xbox?
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	Pretty obvious.
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	You raise the price of the console and games by 30% when they were already "salty".
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	You get less demand.
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	You don't bring in more money because demand falls.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	It's the same with most any product you don't need in order to live.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	If food goes up 30% and there's no way around it, people buy food because hunger and starvation are awful.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	If the cost of a fire pit for your backyard goes up 25% at Walmart....they sell less fire pits.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	So they order 20% less of them to avoid unsold inventory they paid huge tariffs on.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	20% less fire pits means 20% less employee hours to unload, stock, ring up, and carry out fire pits to someone's car.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	You have to be able to pivot to something that doesn't have a huge tariff and sell that instead.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	So you might be able to sell plastic mixing bowls, but not stainless steel.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	If plastic bowl sets go up $1 but the stainless steel goes up by $40.

[23:32]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3], A British child molester with "they/them" pronouns said they were "heartbroken" to lose their American citizenship.
[23:32]	IsambardPrince	When they get out of prison they'll be stateless.
[23:32]	IsambardPrince	But that won't stop you from getting him back.
[23:33]	IsambardPrince	Nobody cares about "pronouns" of a child molester.
[23:33]	IsambardPrince	We can send them back to Europe when they're out of prison, where Europe doesn't care about child molestation and thinks pronouns are really important.
[23:33]	IsambardPrince	Like Canada and the other worthless place.s

[23:38]	IsambardPrince	"Regardless of the crimes Duke committed, the situation sets a dangerous precedent, said Laura Bingham, executive director of the Temple University Institute for Law Innovation and Technology. If the government continues to open the question of citizenship up for people who have already received it, this creates a slippery slope for everyone, she said.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	Citizenship "is not supposed to be something that you can continuously open up for some people, and you can't for others," Bingham said."
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	He was distributing child pornography before he applied for citizenship.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	Then on the citizenship form, it asks if you've committed any crimes, including ones that you have not been arrested or charged with.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	And all he listed was a speeding ticket.
[23:39]	IsambardPrince	They bagged another Peter Bright. They should strip his citizenship and hand him back to the UK.
[23:39]	IsambardPrince	We have enough child molesters we can't send anywhere without taking in garbage from someone else's country that should be in "His Majesty's" prison system.
[23:40]	IsambardPrince	And the government was well within its legal rights. He lied on a naturalization form. If he had told them he was a child molester, they never would have granted citizenship.
[23:40]	IsambardPrince	Hopefully they take Peter Bright's citizenship or green card or whatever he had and send him packing too.
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	He can go be a child sex predator who roams the parks in London.
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	"Correction
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	June 30, 2025
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	A previous version of this story incorrectly said that denaturalization is one of the top enforcement priorities for the civil rights division. In fact, denaturalization is a top enforcement priority for the civil division. And a reference to the Immigrant Legal Resource Center misstated its name as the Immigration Legal Resource Center. The article also incorrectly said that the Justice Department was giving district attorneys 
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	wider discretion on when to pursue denaturalization. It is U.S. attorneys who are being given more discretion."
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	NPR turning into CNN.
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	LOL
