| XRevan86 | Ariadne: I stumbled upon something weird: https://crt.sh/?q=libera.net – notice the 2021-06-06 entry, a certificate on irc.eu.libera.net | Jul 31 00:41 |

| isak | i think at least the #freenode channel has got quite a bit of reduced spam from the web chat client since required authentication | Jul 31 00:47 |
| isak | it was full on spam there for a while | Jul 31 00:47 |

| schestowitz-TR | [stay woke meme] | Jul 31 00:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will do an article about this | Jul 31 00:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | but not very in-depth | Jul 31 00:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | because IRC is sort of old news | Jul 31 00:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | freenode is presumed dead already.. by many | Jul 31 00:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | Maybe Kim and Lee learned something in the process | Jul 31 00:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the brother (Alex) as well... | Jul 31 00:53 |
| isak | yeah, not a lot of people left. but the one that are there are mostly decent i think. wonder if they have more plans than "remotes" to bring users there | Jul 31 00:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | they cannot FORCE themselves onto us | Jul 31 00:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | "Remotes" seems like a case of using freenode to prop up Alex's business, Shells | Jul 31 00:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | meanwhile, PIA seems to be suffering a quiet crackdown in the US | Jul 31 00:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | judging by the fact they shuffle around the operations there | Jul 31 00:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | like, IIRC, they did in HK not too long ago | Jul 31 00:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | so probably there are subpoena or court orders under NDAs | Jul 31 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | from a tech POV, none of their things are innovative or even good | Jul 31 00:56 |

| DaemonFC | Yeah, my main use for the Impala is drive Mandy to work and grab food at where he works. | Jul 31 01:26 |
| DaemonFC | So I don't put many miles on the car. | Jul 31 01:26 |
| DaemonFC | If we go somewhere in Illinois and it's no further than half the state down, I usually take Metra and the CTA and Pace. | Jul 31 01:27 |
| DaemonFC | So I only put about 400-500 miles a month on the car, normally. | Jul 31 01:27 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-lhspodcast.info | LHS Episode #422: The Weekender LXXV | Linux in the Ham Shack | Jul 31 01:27 | |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-dpaste: Sum of Channel Populations | Jul 31 01:28 | |
| DaemonFC | $37-39 on a month where I just use the car to take Mandy to work and grocery shop, and then over there, the next cheapest is like $90-100 for Geico or Progressive. Every month. | Jul 31 01:28 |
| DaemonFC | So even if I have a high month because we got out and saw mom over in Indiana or we went downstate for some reason, it's not going to average out higher than the flat rate companies. | Jul 31 01:28 |

| schestowitz | sears_hardware: looking.... | Jul 31 01:30 |
| DaemonFC | I'd never pay more than $40-50 for liability coverage, ever. | Jul 31 01:30 |
| DaemonFC | With some companies and in some states, going from excellent to bad credit can more than double your car insurance premiums. | Jul 31 01:31 |
| DaemonFC | Geico sent me a "Fair Credit Reporting Act" notice that said "Factors" from a credit report were the reason I didn't get their best rate possible. | Jul 31 01:32 |
| DaemonFC | So I just have to stick it out with some cheap and sketchy company that keeps me legal to drive until this bankruptcy is older. | Jul 31 01:33 |

| DaemonFC | Of course, there's lots of problems with having roommates, not the least of which is they can move out and break the lease and the total rent must then be paid by the remaining tenants, who are jointly responsble for the entire amount. | Jul 31 11:26 |

| DaemonFC | Democrats.... | Jul 31 11:50 |
| activelow | the lock-down isn't legitimate, although my complaint was the lock-down was *ineffective* | Jul 31 11:51 |
| DaemonFC | This fucking place. | Jul 31 11:51 |
| DaemonFC | Then they had special security fencing around the statehouse building, worried that their "fans" would show up and "thank them" for all the hard work they've done making sure nobody in Illinois can have a job or leave their home. | Jul 31 11:52 |

| activelow | "and the world's oldest bank, Monte dei Paschi — whose capital would be entirely wiped out under test conditions" | Jul 31 11:58 |
| DaemonFC | They never tell the public what the stress test involves. | Jul 31 11:59 |
| DaemonFC | And "assets" can easily be obtained by borrowing from the Fed at 0.00 and loaning the money back to the Fed at 0.25 now. | Jul 31 11:59 |
| DaemonFC | So you aren't likely to run into a bank that has insufficient capital. | Jul 31 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | Isn't that nice? | Jul 31 12:00 |
| activelow | yes, in Europe it is "TARGET2" positions accounted for as "asset" | Jul 31 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | In the mean time, they don't have to pay depositors much of anything because of this. | Jul 31 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | I moves some money over to "high interest savings" and only get 0.5. | Jul 31 12:00 |

| activelow | tried to imagine, if i was able to decide about "investments" myself | Jul 31 12:02 |
| DaemonFC | They can easily slip some lower income people cheap license plates. | Jul 31 12:02 |
| DaemonFC | It actually costs them less than $4 to make two license plates for your car. | Jul 31 12:03 |
| DaemonFC | After that, it's just a sticker each year that costs them less than $1. | Jul 31 12:03 |

| DaemonFC | You just go in and use a kiosk to tell it what model, where to deliver, and slide your credit card. | Jul 31 12:15 |
| DaemonFC | I wonder how many jobs that's costing. I mean, those Mattress Firm stores were everywhere and had at least a few people working there. | Jul 31 12:16 |
| DaemonFC | The jobs dry up and soon there won't be anyone with credit cards to say where they want the mattress. | Jul 31 12:16 |
| DaemonFC | But each individual company sees destroying jobs as good for their bottom line, when, cumulatively, it isn't. | Jul 31 12:17 |
| DaemonFC | Because all businesses think that way, and then collectively nobody can shop there anymore. | Jul 31 12:17 |
| DaemonFC | Then as fewer people can shop, other companies don't need as many workers, and those people get laid off, and it's a vicious cycle. | Jul 31 12:18 |
| DaemonFC | Soon, there's enough of a productivity/income loss to the economy that they can't spend what they need to on healthcare, IT stuff, leisure products and activities, vacations, and durable goods. | Jul 31 12:19 |
| DaemonFC | Goodbye to more jobs, which means goodbye to more jobs. | Jul 31 12:19 |

| activelow | what they remain silent about is this: population size INCREASED, it never decreased, it is at least a dozen of a million of immigrants since 1990 | Jul 31 12:25 |
| activelow | nonetheless industry reports lack of workforce, pension funds report lack of funding, and education system report declining quality | Jul 31 12:26 |

| DaemonFC | Microsoft and Intel set their standards low and offshore things and hire people with no experience. | Jul 31 12:51 |
| activelow | in the most relevant fields of tech industry immigration is almost irelevant: maths, electronics | Jul 31 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | Their concern is tilted more to keeping wages down than it is towards making products that work right. | Jul 31 12:51 |
| activelow | and the relevant fields of science require this: decades of education and hard work (instead of "gender studies" or "feminist" affirmative action) | Jul 31 12:53 |

| DaemonFC | I hear they have some nice pension plans that would be even nicer if the state didn't steal from itself to pay its own corrupt officials and then still owe them the pension. | Jul 31 12:58 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Lake County recently moved to get rid of a "mosquito abatement district" because it would "reduce inefficiency". Then I noticed something amusing. | Jul 31 12:59 |
| DaemonFC | The district overtaxed residents for years and had accumulated about a million dollars in unspent funds that were sitting in a bank account. :) | Jul 31 12:59 |
| DaemonFC | In the mean time, it owns no equipment and has nobody on the payroll because it contracted with private companies to spray for the mosquitoes, which is honestly probably not even being done. | Jul 31 13:00 |
| DaemonFC | Knowing how this state works. | Jul 31 13:00 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 31 13:01 |
| DaemonFC | So it seems like a pretty easy score to just get rid of the district, keep the contracts, take the million bucks, and then keep the mosquito tax unchanged so that it keeps providing a "surplus" and they can say they didn't raise anyone's taxes. | Jul 31 13:02 |
| DaemonFC | Which will technically be true. | Jul 31 13:02 |
| DaemonFC | In fact, they say that spraying for mosquitoes is harmful to the environment and we should do it less. | Jul 31 13:02 |
| DaemonFC | Translation: They cut down the sprayings and sure people get bit and sick but it saves the criminals running the county money that they can spend on themselves, so what the hell. | Jul 31 13:03 |

| XRevan86 | activelow: Yes, that's what we see on the graph. | Jul 31 15:57 |

| XRevan86 | They just need a web thing, because it's no longer possible to register from IRC without already having an account, and, from what I see, it's integrated into all these new glorious services like IRC.com Remotes. | Jul 31 17:56 |
| XRevan86 | (or 3 days ago?) | Jul 31 17:58 |
| CrystalMath | also if you register over IRC, you will be on irc.com as well | Jul 31 17:59 |
| activelow | about remotes: "nirvana> finally, some next level shit." | Jul 31 18:00 |
| XRevan86 | CrystalMath: Right. These choices are peculiar. It feels like the freenode branding is becoming redundant. | Jul 31 18:01 |
| XRevan86 | as IRC.com is the base for the SSO, and all the new fluff is there too | Jul 31 18:01 |
| XRevan86 | I wouldn't be surprised if eventually freenode will be phased out, being left only as an alias. | Jul 31 18:02 |

| XRevan86 | CrystalMath: Well, yea, that part is obvious, and what I'm seeing points to the intention to deprecate freenode in favour of IRC.com. | Jul 31 18:06 |
| XRevan86 | And, because the freenode branding is ruined, rebranding is a good business decision anyway. | Jul 31 18:08 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz, WGN admitted that it was Microsoft products to blame for the Russian hack of the DoJ. | Jul 31 20:55 |
| DaemonFC | I commented: | Jul 31 20:55 |
| DaemonFC | Microsoft bribed their way into government, even as the private sector continues to move away from their products. Windows share of web servers collapsed from almost 30% to less than 24% in the past 12 months. | Jul 31 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | Windows fell off the Top 500 supercomputers a long time ago. | Jul 31 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | Meanwhile, various Linux-based operating systems are now in the majority in the consumer sector. | Jul 31 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | (Including Android devices, and Chrome OS, which is a Gentoo-based Linux distribution which can run containerized desktop Linux applications in the Linux environment. As well as various desktop Linux distributions.) | Jul 31 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | If you include tablets and phones in the consumer sector, Microsoft's usage share is in the 40% range and if you only include desktops and laptops, their share is in the 70s. A steep drop from the 94%+ they enjoyed just a decade ago and just in time for another incompatible disaster, they've labeled Windows "11" because Apple called theirs "11". | Jul 31 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | Windows is horrendous. You go to update it and something breaks nearly every month. I installed a security update BIOS firmware from Lenovo and it tripped up Bitlocker and I had to reformat and reinstall my OS drive from the recovery disk. I mean, this is pitiful. | Jul 31 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | The lawyer I hired for my spouse's immigration case used Microsoft mail and it was crashing all the time, meanwhile my GMail and stuff was up 100% of the time. | Jul 31 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | Someone asked what Microsoft was doing about it. I replied, | Jul 31 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | "Displaying a QR code and a frowny face, collecting an error report, and rebooting. This will only take a moment. | Jul 31 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | (Have you considered Linux?) 🙂" | Jul 31 20:56 |
| DaemonFC | "Hi.....Hello....How are you? That's a nice computer you've got there.....We're just getting a few things ready..... It'd be a shame if someone.....UPDATED IT. -Microsoft" | Jul 31 20:57 |
