| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, It's strange that you don't seem to have any official prohibitions on foreign citizenship or ties to become the Prime Minister. | Mar 02 05:05 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't think there was any official need for Bogus to renounce his US citizenship, or Rishi to get rid of the Green Card. | Mar 02 05:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Of course, Musk found a way around ours. | Mar 02 05:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Just buy Trump into office and use him. | Mar 02 05:06 |
| IsambardPrince | This was bound to happen eventually after "Citizens United". | Mar 02 05:06 |
| IsambardPrince | https://boltsmag.org/indiana-banning-student-id-for-voting/ | Mar 02 05:07 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, You can't use your state-issued student ID, but gun permits are fine. | Mar 02 05:07 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't even have a permit anymore. | Mar 02 05:08 |
| IsambardPrince | But if you had one that didn't expire yet it's still valid for voter ID. | Mar 02 05:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Early voting in the local elections starts next Friday. | Mar 02 05:10 |
| IsambardPrince | We'll vote for the current mayor. | Mar 02 05:10 |
| IsambardPrince | She reaffirmed that the city will not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. | Mar 02 05:10 |
| IsambardPrince | We haven't been so far, so I know we're not dealing with some sort of rogue mayor we won't be able to get rid of for years. | Mar 02 05:12 |
| IsambardPrince | We already turn over people who are public safety threats who have been convicted of a violent felony. | Mar 02 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | That's the only think I think we should help ICE with. Get rid of the serious problems. | Mar 02 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | *thing | Mar 02 05:14 |
| IsambardPrince | https://www.npr.org/2025/03/01/nx-s1-5313059/immigration-ice-arrests-misleading-claims-kristi-noem-dhs | Mar 02 05:15 |
| IsambardPrince | "The most recent DHS data released this week shows that fewer than 600 people per day have been booked into ICE detention facilities across the country during the first three weeks of February — well below the pace of 1,200 to 1,500 arrests a day that administration officials have said they want. | Mar 02 05:15 |
| IsambardPrince | That hasn't stopped the Trump administration from making some bold claims." | Mar 02 05:15 |
| IsambardPrince | An utter and complete lie is now a "bold claim". Put that up with planes landing upside down and exploding being a "plane landing incident". | Mar 02 05:16 |
| IsambardPrince | ICE attracts Nazis for the same reason that the Catholic church attracted so many child molesters. It appeals to a certain type of person. | Mar 02 05:18 |
| IsambardPrince | They attract people with extreme or deviate views who are looking for access to a person to abuse. There is no fundamental difference here. | Mar 02 05:19 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, I can still access YouTube with ad blockers on. | Mar 02 05:29 |
| IsambardPrince | It is so horrible to watch the right-wing media that Trump lets into the White House now. Trump is a dictator who votes with the Axis of Evil and the only thing the "media" that he allows in there is asking about a fight that Trump instigated and the meathead fucktard JD Vance kept going was, "Why aren't you wearing a suit?" to President Zelensky. | Mar 02 05:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, Trump wears a suit. Most pompous assholes who are usually out golfing have suits. Never trust anyone wearing a suit who looks like they belong in one. | Mar 02 05:31 |
| IsambardPrince | I appreciate that Zelensky does not wear one, honestly. Russian bombs and missiles are targeting Ukrainians in his country in apartment buildings, targeting and killing little children while they sleep. The Russians are monsters, and cowards. | Mar 02 05:32 |

| schestowitz-pi | thought/rant | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | many years agfo | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | more than 10 for sure | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | i came to realise | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | many can code | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | too much [sic] code existed alreayd | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | hence, overabundance | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | writing more and more of it would miss the point | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | i think in other domains/discplines it is the same | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | so i slowed down witn coding | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | did ugly hacks instead | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | knowing my old code was not used by many anyhow | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | code is not like crops | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | rms keeps talking about "CUSTOM code" | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | and how THIS is how freesw can make money | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | or progranmmers can be paid | Mar 02 12:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | instead of buying "solutions" from SAP, MS, etc. | Mar 02 12:33 |

| techrights-sec | yes, the business model is about customization. Selling code though is | Mar 02 12:39 |
| techrights-sec | an outdated 1980s mindset wehich is an anachronism with no place in 2025. | Mar 02 12:39 |
| techrights-sec | The martket share observations need to keep noting the large amount of income | Mar 02 12:39 |
| techrights-sec | that m$ used to get via monopoly rents, and that m$ no longer commands even | Mar 02 12:39 |
| techrights-sec | remotely enough market share to continue chargin such rents. | Mar 02 12:39 |
| techrights-sec | Without that income, m$ might be mainly dependent on bailouts from various | Mar 02 12:40 |
| techrights-sec | governments wanting to backdoor communications either through outright backdoors(eg CALEA) or through "bug doors" a la NSA. | Mar 02 12:40 |
| schestowitz-pi | thanks will revisit this topic when the time is right | Mar 02 12:41 |
| techrights-sec | It fits into the topic of 'selling' software versus making money from modding | Mar 02 12:44 |
| techrights-sec | There were stats years ago about how nearly all software is in-house anyway | Mar 02 12:44 |
| techrights-sec | and thus modding is the main activity. | Mar 02 12:44 |

| IsambardPrince | "I should also point out that while Gonad the Barbarian (the patriarch of this family) did not have an extensive criminal record, it's because when he was young and they got him for carjacking a semi-truck hauling car tires, the judge gave him a choice. Prison or the Army, and he chose the Army, and that wiped his record. | Mar 02 22:47 |
| IsambardPrince | The idea in the 1970s was that if you wanted to be a stupid, violent mindless thug, they'd put you in the Army and hopefully you'd be one of the ones that didn't come back. Well, he came back, unfortunately. | Mar 02 22:47 |
| IsambardPrince | I happen to believe that the reason the My Lai Massacre happened was because they sent street criminals and teenagers who liked to start fires to Vietnam. | Mar 02 22:47 |
| IsambardPrince | He was married five times, including to the same one twice. He remarried #3 and she was #5 too, after my mother. | Mar 02 22:47 |
| IsambardPrince | None of them were married to him for 10 consecutive years, and he died at 59.5 from binge smoking 2 packs of Kools every day, oversalting everything to the point of absurdity, and polishing off two refrigerators full of beer every day. | Mar 02 22:47 |
| IsambardPrince | He had a second refrigerator in the basement which was only for beer, when that ran out, he had an emergency beer stash in the garage. When that ran out, he would drive to Ohio on Sundays because Indiana didn't let you buy beer or liquor on Sunday. | Mar 02 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | When he didn't have enough gas money to make it to Ohio on Sunday in his 8 mpg "Drive it and watch the fuel gauge fall." truck he made my mother pay for, he went and committed a breaking and entering on his friend, who was on vacation. He paid for the broken window, and did not find any beer in there. | Mar 02 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Mom took him to a fancy restaurant in or around 2005, and in 2005 the starter salads in this place were forty bucks, that's what kind of a place it was. The waiter came to the table, and Gonad apparently growled like an animal and banged the silverware and said, "I ont some meat!" | Mar 02 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | My mother couldn't take him anywhere. | Mar 02 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | After the divorce, he couldn't pay for groceries or to heat his home and complained to her about it, after he filed for the divorce. | Mar 02 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Who knew there would be no money after you divorced the plow horse? :P | Mar 02 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | The divorce judge ordered him to take her name off the mortgage and get a refi. He had the credit to do that, so he went and bought a Harley Davidson motorcycle, THEN went to apply for the refi and brought a judge the letter saying he had too much debt to income. | Mar 02 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | The judge told my mother "What do you want me to do about it?" | Mar 02 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | I have an idea, it's called contempt of court you dolt. | Mar 02 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | I hate Indiana judges." | Mar 02 22:48 |
