| Techrights-sec | yes the experiement with cryptocurrencies more or less ended in 2009 | Apr 20 15:47 |
| Techrights-sec | but then some techbros lifted some of that out of the trash can and | Apr 20 15:47 |
| Techrights-sec | ran with it | Apr 20 15:47 |
| Techrights-sec | ^that = the discarded, completed experiment | Apr 20 15:47 |
| Techrights-sec | some even started as jokes but then idiots started throwing real money | Apr 20 15:49 |
| Techrights-sec | that direction and it got out of control at that point | Apr 20 15:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | the 'luneex gamer' bryant did a video propping that up | Apr 20 15:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | like buying a home with 'crypto' | Apr 20 15:52 |

| Techrights-sec | yes he also stopped mentioning anthing FOSS AFAIK | Apr 20 15:53 |

| schestowitz-TR | i went to odysee front page once | Apr 20 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | logged out, no cookie, nothing | Apr 20 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | I got lols seeing them recommending a video where alady sells farts inside jars | Apr 20 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not click, but that resonated with me | Apr 20 15:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | odysee - the fart-selling site | Apr 20 15:54 |
| Techrights-sec | Odysee only is even remotely worth the time if one makes an accoutn | Apr 20 15:55 |
| Techrights-sec | and then spends a *long* time blocking dozens if not hundreds of accounts | Apr 20 15:55 |
| Techrights-sec | there after it becomes palatable (almost) as long as you don't look at | Apr 20 15:55 |
| Techrights-sec | the "recommendations", but that is similar to Google's YouTube | Apr 20 15:55 |

| schestowitz-TR | (at the time; number of subs, IIRC) | Apr 20 15:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he dia a video about how there was this channel in gulagtube that was just | Apr 20 15:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | basically a gallery of fart | Apr 20 15:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | someone uploading many videos of oneself farting into a phone camera (IIRC) | Apr 20 15:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | and that channel became very popular | Apr 20 15:57 |

| schestowitz-TR | i have just started my shift | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | i am looking at the covvid portal | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | mentioned earlier | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | to see if I can make sense of it | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | knowing that politicians have chosen "capitalism" over people | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | "we did the best we could, now go back to your cage" (which is not healthy for psychological reasons, as well) | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | the corona map page gives me a blank page | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | even with JS on, under Falkon | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | some nice shiny "stuff" and webdevop you got there... | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | arccgiv.com | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | the numbders of deaths run OK until week 10 or 11 of this year | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is common as they have a 'backlog' | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | so one needs to set a threshold at least a month back | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | like in here | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | almost 200 deaths per week for a population more than an order of magnitude smaller than ours | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | same period 12 months earlier (pre-vaccine) was about 20 deaths per week with many more tests | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | being conducted | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | a critical or lateral thinker (or sceptical thinking) would say such numbers debunk efficacy arguments from the | Apr 20 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | big supplier of patents on some juices that make one ill | Apr 20 17:46 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 20 17:48 |
| Techrights-sec | There may be a wave after Easter especially if it is combined with 1 May | Apr 20 17:48 |
| Techrights-sec | "web" "developers" both in scare quotes | Apr 20 17:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | I never said web developer, I said webdevops | Apr 20 17:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are to development and the world wide web what "apps" are to applications | Apr 20 17:48 |
| Techrights-sec | they are so caught up in their own bullshit that they don't / won't see that | Apr 20 17:49 |
| Techrights-sec | the crap they are producing does not work; | Apr 20 17:49 |
| Techrights-sec | even the paradigm is faulty. instead of using a stateless client-server | Apr 20 17:49 |
| Techrights-sec | arcitecture to serve complete documents, as HTTP is designed to do, theu | Apr 20 17:49 |
| Techrights-sec | have make a horrendous kludge where they are attempting to use the web | Apr 20 17:49 |
| Techrights-sec | browser as a highly inefficient virtual machine to run aribtrary, | Apr 20 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | here, with the uk data portal, they send you bloated js and then send data to it. Then, the same things are redrawn over and over again by all visitors. | Apr 20 17:50 |
| Techrights-sec | unauthenticated programs of unknown provenance and capabilities on your machine | Apr 20 17:50 |
| Techrights-sec | maybe they do see that the crap they produce doesn't work but that they | Apr 20 17:51 |
| Techrights-sec | leverage that to sell more of their labor: if a little doesn't work, more | Apr 20 17:51 |
| Techrights-sec | is needed | Apr 20 17:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | wait, are we talkinmg about the web kludge or about more and more doses? | Apr 20 17:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | remember studies were conducted about 5 months ago and showed a 4th jab is placebo at best | Apr 20 17:52 |
| Techrights-sec | yes it is profoundly wasteful compared to server-side processing for | Apr 20 17:52 |
| Techrights-sec | the same images which will be requested a great many times | Apr 20 17:52 |
| Techrights-sec | on a global scale it probably contributes to carbon emissions in a not | Apr 20 17:52 |
| Techrights-sec | insignificant amount | Apr 20 17:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | far worse than it may seem at first | Apr 20 17:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) need a more powerful PC | Apr 20 17:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | need a "modern" browser (throw away "old" machine) | Apr 20 17:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) energy/battery usage/manufacturing | Apr 20 17:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) routing energy (not a good way of passing such data, can be produced 'off-line' | Apr 20 17:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | I forgot accessibility aspects, but this one is tricky | Apr 20 17:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't know how blind people read charts and which type of charts | Apr 20 17:56 |
| Techrights-sec | and a lot of bandwidth... | Apr 20 17:56 |
| Techrights-sec | which is of itself a contribution to carbon emissions | Apr 20 17:56 |

| *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Apr 20 18:00 | |
| schestowitz-TR | back to the data, the 1:2 or 1:3 ratio in case:test this year suggests they got all stingy about testing | Apr 20 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are a lot more people testing positive | Apr 20 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | and barely an effort to catch silent or mild cases | Apr 20 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | which of course is a self-feeding loop | Apr 20 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | test less, it'll spread faster | Apr 20 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | and in turn you will need to test MOAR | Apr 20 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | just to catch up with the surge | Apr 20 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | what a stupid policy | Apr 20 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | is is basically a case of, | Apr 20 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you feel very unwell | Apr 20 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | and if you think you got "the" virus | Apr 20 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | come on over, we'll check you | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | last year the footballer needed to test themselves regardless between games | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | to avoid the circulation of the virus through family and colleagues | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | testing to see, "YES! it IS coronavirus!" is sort of pointless | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | "yes, sherlock, that's why I came here" | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the cardiologist who says, "it's good you came, yes, I can see this issue in your heart" | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | instead of people taking pulse, blood pressure etc. | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | so my guess here and elsewhere the "new normal" means "small government" | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | in the name of 'freedom' and 'the economy' they will embrace a new "normal" death rates | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | and hospitals will find that wintertime workdloads are the "normal" all year around | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | this sucks, but makes me complacent about 'rebelling' against the status quo | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | mostly by inaction, a lack of participation in "the economy" | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | if more people do the same, we might even get somewhere | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I cannot recall which article it was, but earlier this week there was a passage that said, | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | according to the NY Times, the patent system has been corrupted | Apr 20 18:09 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 20 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have not left Manchester since Jan 20200 | Apr 20 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | and Rianne convinced me not to travel with her to the aunt | Apr 20 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | because she can travel on her own (I suggedted train, more chance of empty space than in a coach) | Apr 20 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | the aunt will come here days afterwards | Apr 20 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | I akways found long-distance travel wasteful, useful, hardly even enjoyabnle | Apr 20 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | buit a cultural thing | Apr 20 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | like sipping "jesus blood" at the church | Apr 20 18:12 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Apr 20 18:14 |
| Techrights-sec | be sure Rianne and the aunt have n95 or better masks when travelling | Apr 20 18:14 |
| Techrights-sec | depends on whether the church considers it metaphorical or pushes | Apr 20 18:14 |
| Techrights-sec | transubstantiation | Apr 20 18:14 |
| Techrights-sec | but for most, either way, it is simply a cultural habit | Apr 20 18:14 |
| Techrights-sec | a problem with travel is that there is financial incentive for some clusters | Apr 20 18:14 |
| Techrights-sec | of businesses to promote unnecessary travel and in the general business | Apr 20 18:14 |
| Techrights-sec | community there is a dick measuring contest related to the wastefulness o | Apr 20 18:14 |
| Techrights-sec | of the travel | Apr 20 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | away from home -> no place to sleep -> need to pay for a second bed (the one at home unsused) | Apr 20 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | similarly, divorces help sell or occupy more homes | Apr 20 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | so bad (for family, environment etc) thinks get promoted by external and hostile forces | Apr 20 18:14 |
| Techrights-sec | i guess this goes back to the discussion of forced debt so that time | Apr 20 18:15 |
| Techrights-sec | and other finite resources are spent on school, crappy cars, and travel | Apr 20 18:15 |
| Techrights-sec | holidays instead of building communities and/or families | Apr 20 18:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | what makes others weak can give you power over them | Apr 20 18:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | not limited to loans (mort - gage!) | Apr 20 18:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | but also level of education, feed them bible, BS news, incite etc. | Apr 20 18:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | the idea is, you get less competition when people scroll up and down crap and press | Apr 20 18:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | "like" | Apr 20 18:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | they can never develop mentally and won't pursue a real change | Apr 20 18:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | so when I see people becoming "gamers" or sitting on the toilet doing "work" | Apr 20 18:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | on the phone, I'm sort of OK with it... | Apr 20 18:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | "waste your life away, I'll get reall stuff done in the meantime..." | Apr 20 18:18 |
| Techrights-sec | It seems that the goal of that and other things it to keep them individually | Apr 20 18:19 |
| Techrights-sec | and collectively in a constant state of crises so they are merely reacting | Apr 20 18:19 |
| Techrights-sec | viscerally and not able to plan ahead | Apr 20 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | debt means anxiety | Apr 20 18:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | kids mean debt mean anxiety | Apr 20 18:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | social rat race means wanting to travel FAR, buy EXPENSIVE car, have MANY kids | Apr 20 18:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | but never mind planning ahead, you are busy trying to survive | Apr 20 18:20 |
| Techrights-sec | I guess it's related to the details layed out in "The Shock Doctrine" | Apr 20 18:21 |
| Techrights-sec | debt is, unfortunately, now the main currency used globally not actual currency | Apr 20 18:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, commondreams and counterpunch had some articles about this recently | Apr 20 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | alex graveley lived with his dad | Apr 20 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | using a mac and telling endless lies about how he was a big shot millionaire worth 200 million | Apr 20 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and "semi retired" | Apr 20 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course his wealth was fakecoins | Apr 20 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he could barely afford a car | Apr 20 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | lived in his g/f apartmentsa | Apr 20 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then back to dad | Apr 20 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | in his 40s | Apr 20 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | but those are too ad hom for me to write about at this time | Apr 20 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would not in any way help the series | Apr 20 18:23 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | Apr 20 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | andrew lee is "debt-rich" ("king of debt" - Lee) | Apr 20 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | alex jones has a debt empire (at one point, he went too far) | Apr 20 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of so-called 'news' sites were 'rich' in VC money | Apr 20 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | our company is rich... in promises and bullshit :-) | Apr 20 18:25 |
| Techrights-sec | them too | Apr 20 18:26 |
| Techrights-sec | the debt allows them to pretend but keeps them on a short leash nonetheless | Apr 20 18:26 |
| Techrights-sec | . and posturing | Apr 20 18:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | posturing is contagious | Apr 20 18:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | they probably implicitly teach that in "business" "schools" | Apr 20 18:27 |
| Techrights-sec | tacitly not necessarily on the syllabus | Apr 20 18:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | it can be extracurricular | Apr 20 18:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | you learn from classmates | Apr 20 18:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | who exaggerate all sorts of things | Apr 20 18:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | the practical equivalent or renting a sport car for a night to get sex from a lady | Apr 20 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | whose "designer" stuff might be borrowed from a friend or is the sole "asset", purchased | Apr 20 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | with "credit" (debt) cards | Apr 20 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course these relationship blow up very fast and the ones getting the last laugh are | Apr 20 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | merchants of "lifestyle" "goods" | Apr 20 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course they also date in some very expensive restaurant and pretent coffee must cost north of 5 dollars | Apr 20 18:31 |
| Techrights-sec | 5 would be relatively cheap these days unfortunately | Apr 20 18:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | the 227 grams I bought is about 30-40 spoonfull | Apr 20 18:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | I make about two teapots (~800ml) with each spoon | Apr 20 18:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | to keep it diluted and now be high on cafeeine | Apr 20 18:33 |

| schestowitz-TR | I checked that no other file in its vicinity was 0 bytes in size | Apr 20 23:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | that image being made an empty file, with timestamp unchanged | Apr 20 23:52 |
