DaemonFC[m]> the "news" on tv is 95% covid-19Apr 05 07:57
DaemonFC[m]You're not going to see me outside again this month except maybe to buy groceries, because I'm not a fucking retard.Apr 05 07:57
DaemonFC[m]COVID-19 is killing 3% of the 36 year old men who get it.  I don't plan to be in one of those 100,000 body bags the Pentagon ordered, or the 500,000 more they could need before the end of next month, or the 500,000 more they could need by November, even if people over in the failed state of Indiana who are twice my age are still laughing about this.Apr 05 07:59
DaemonFC[m]It's called stay in the fucking house and read a book. Catch up on cartoons. Let everyone else die. When you are satisfied that most people who will die are dead, you can come out again.Apr 05 08:00
DaemonFC[m]The federal government under Trump is worse than useless. They send expired and broken crap to the states because they never thought it would be a good idea to prepare for this, so now we're going to have to incinerate at least a million old people.Apr 05 08:01
DaemonFC[m]Which is what Fox News said would happen if we elected a Socialist, but Trump got us there way before we had a national conversation about Socialism. Apr 05 08:02
*DaemonFC[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/EmbWQBVZGCwiXxECTmNgWKkj >Apr 05 08:05
DaemonFC[m]Because out of each 40,000, about 2,000 of them will end up dying, maybe more.Apr 05 08:05
DaemonFC[m]But just for the sake of argument, assume 20,000 dead for every 100,000 cases that get reported.Apr 05 08:06
schestowitzDaemonFC[m]: much moreApr 05 08:08
schestowitz1. current rate is 21%Apr 05 08:08
schestowitz2. it increases over timeApr 05 08:08
schestowitzdays ago it was 20%Apr 05 08:08
schestowitz3. US health system is weakApr 05 08:09
schestowitz4. unfinished cases make it seem lower than 20%Apr 05 08:09
schestowitz5. congestion in hospitals is the real killerApr 05 08:09
schestowitz6. US hospitals will see swarms of millions of people vying for a place, rendering them totally ineffective and a hazard to staffApr 05 08:10
schestowitz7. many people will die from COVID at home, without a diagnosis of it (so they won't count)Apr 05 08:10
schestowitzeither for lack of space in a hospital or lack of fundsApr 05 08:10
schestowitz8. this continues a long US tradition of eliminating the poor, not poverty, by sending them to war, denying them health, giving them guns to kill themselves and one anotherApr 05 08:11

schestowitzIn the coming weeks many #trump voters, aka COVIDiots, will realise that people "serving the country" are well-educated MDs, not GIs. You can't run a country off arsenal of nukes, or at least you cannot sustain its population that way. You can't est uranium.Apr 05 09:12

XRevan86It looks like Fenix is going to be released alongside the next Firefox version (75).Apr 05 19:06
MinceRwhat's fenix?Apr 05 19:11
XRevan86MinceR: Codename of the Firefox for Android rewrite.Apr 05 19:12
MinceRicApr 05 19:12
XRevan86Not sure if it'll stay after the release, or will be referred to as Fennec as well.Apr 05 19:15
XRevan86* or the rewrite will be referred toApr 05 19:15

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Mast fire probe amid 5G coronavirus claims - BBC NewsApr 05 19:19
XRevan86Maybe SARS-CoV-2 is a materialised radiowave.Apr 05 19:20
superkuhs/claims/hysteria/Apr 05 19:20
XRevan86just like mushroomsApr 05 19:20
XRevan86(a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenin_was_a_mushroom )Apr 05 19:22
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Lenin was a mushroom - WikipediaApr 05 19:22
Narrator... hallucinogenic ...Apr 05 19:23
XRevan86"So a mushroom is a materialised radiowave. Fedorov writes that mushrooms have weird unmaterialism. And even Popov noted that mushrooms have certain radio-properties"Apr 05 19:23
XRevan86So, logically, if 5G are radiowaves, radiowaves materialise as shrooms, then coronaviruses are a type of shroom.Apr 05 19:26
superkuhBut is coronavirus lighter than a duck?Apr 05 19:26
superkuhI imagine all the mass of every virus particle in the world is probably heavier. So not a witch.Apr 05 19:26
XRevan86superkuh: We know that it floats in water.Apr 05 19:27
XRevan86superkuh: Maybe it's a buoyApr 05 19:27
MinceRi wonder if this "fenix" will have any functionality leftApr 05 19:47
XRevan86MinceR: I guess it depends on what functionality you want.Apr 05 19:49
MinceRextensions?Apr 05 19:49
XRevan86MinceR: That it has.Apr 05 19:50
XRevan86Just one at this point: uBlock°Apr 05 19:50
superkuhBut no xul. For me, there is only xul.Apr 05 19:50
MinceR:>Apr 05 19:50
XRevan86superkuh: Fennec hasn't had XUL extensions for eons.Apr 05 19:50
superkuhYeah. FF stopped being FF years ago.Apr 05 19:50
MinceRff stopped having a point ages agoApr 05 19:50
superkuhJust another multi-process chrome imitator these days.Apr 05 19:51
*XRevan86 disagrees with that.Apr 05 19:51
*a1batross (f99f96a489@gateway/shell/jabberfr/x-atmzgbmyzkjaxscg) has joined #techrightsApr 05 19:51
MinceRyeah, it would be better if it was just another multi-process chrome imitatorApr 05 19:51
MinceRbut it also tries to force poetteringaudio on usersApr 05 19:52
MinceRso it's actually worse than just another multi-process chrome imitatorApr 05 19:52
XRevan86Кто о чём, а MinceR о PulseAudio.Apr 05 19:52
MinceRfgsfdsApr 05 19:52
XRevan86Different people push different topics, and MinceR pushes PulseAudio.Apr 05 19:56
MinceRnope, mozilla's pushing itApr 05 19:57
MinceRand ibm and microsloth are pushing itApr 05 19:57
XRevan86Don't twist my lousy translation %)Apr 05 19:57
MinceRthe two main uses for apulse are skype and failfoxApr 05 19:57
XRevan86MinceR: Skype is on Electron now.Apr 05 19:58
psydreadI hope Skype will only be on Azure some day and then someone pulls the plug on itApr 05 19:59
psydreadthen Skype will go its very own heavenApr 05 19:59
psydreadto*Apr 05 19:59
XRevan86MinceR: By the way, in Debian/Devuan firefox is built with ALSA support.Apr 05 20:00
MinceRi knowApr 05 20:00
MinceRbut the official binaries are built without itApr 05 20:00
MinceRand mozilla's probably planning to remove the code entirelyApr 05 20:00
superkuhSkype already died.Apr 05 20:00
superkuhThat's just MS wearing it's skin.Apr 05 20:00
psydreadI see most people have in fact abandoned itApr 05 20:01
superkuhFeds encouraged eBay to buy them out, but they messed up and only bought the license to the name, not the p2p backend. So then the feds had MS step in.Apr 05 20:01
superkuhFeds cannot stand encrypted p2p comms.Apr 05 20:01
psydreadMS runs everything into the groundApr 05 20:01
XRevan86MinceR: It's been a while since they've disabled it in the official binaries.Apr 05 20:03
XRevan86Doesn't look like they're planning to do anything beyond that.Apr 05 20:04
MinceRwasn't their official reason for it that they don't want to maintain ALSA support anymore?Apr 05 20:04
MinceRthey can't really do it if the code is still thereApr 05 20:04
MinceRthey're probably waiting to see forks appear and fail a few timesApr 05 20:05
MinceRso they can be extra sure that they're screwing all their usersApr 05 20:05
MinceRor maybe they're trying to talk google into doing the sameApr 05 20:05
*fujisan has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)Apr 05 20:07
psydreadthe thing is that MS keeps spending money to buy these companies and technologies before running them into the ground and then these new things come up like mushroomsApr 05 20:09
psydreadyou would think this can't go on foreverApr 05 20:09
XRevan86MinceR: IIRC, they are unsatisfied with how it works.Apr 05 20:11
XRevan86Something about audio with more channels than stereo.Apr 05 20:12
MinceRi guess it doesn't skip or pop enough for their likingApr 05 20:12
DaemonFC[m]The COVID-19 thing burning through Michigan is almost certain really bad news for the Republicans in November.Apr 05 20:13
MinceRi wonder how do they believe their beloved poetteringaudio does more than 2 channels when it does everything on top of ALSAApr 05 20:13
MinceRthen again, their "developers" being incompetent is not exactly newApr 05 20:13
XRevan86MinceR: Another fun idea to think about is that who's to say that Chromium won't remove it entirely? I'm surprised they haven't already.Apr 05 20:13
MinceRyeahApr 05 20:13
DaemonFC[m]It has 10 electoral votes, but 4 out of Trump's 5 "realistic" electoral vote win maps must include Michigan.Apr 05 20:13
DaemonFC[m]And all of them have to have North Carolina and Florida.Apr 05 20:13
MinceRit seems it's all a conspiracy to fuck things up for every computer userApr 05 20:13
MinceRwithout any actual benefit for the ones who do itApr 05 20:14
DaemonFC[m]Officially, COVID-19 is taking a 50,000 megaton weed whacker to Michigan right now, but Florida is losing quite a few people too.Apr 05 20:14
DaemonFC[m]Mainly I'm interested in what it does at the state level though. The Republicans gerrymandered their maps quite badly and can afford to take a huge loss of voters in most of those districts.Apr 05 20:15
MinceRmaybe twitler will pull an orban and use the plague as an excuse to turn the usa into a dictatorshipApr 05 20:16
DaemonFC[m]But there exist at least 40 more districts where it's R +3 or less on CVPI.Apr 05 20:16
DaemonFC[m]If COVID-19 tears through those districts, they could lose a lot of seats.Apr 05 20:16
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Our system is set up a lot differently than most.Apr 05 20:16
DaemonFC[m]Hungary is not a large country with a strong firewall between local and central government, I'm guessing.Apr 05 20:17
MinceRindeedApr 05 20:17
DaemonFC[m]The US has strong state government (even with all of the Reconstruction Amendments) because the people who wrote the constitution were terribly afraid of someone like Trump getting in and declaring that he could do whatever he wanted.Apr 05 20:18
MinceRsince the local government elections didn't go the way the nazis would have liked, they recently took over a lot of stuff that used to be localApr 05 20:18
MinceRthey also deprived local governments (especially that of budapest) of sourcesApr 05 20:18
MinceR(tax revenue)Apr 05 20:18
DaemonFC[m]While it is true that Trump has been attacking every weak spot of the federal system, he's furious because a lot of states just pass laws to counteract him and he can't force them to do anything.Apr 05 20:18
MinceRand it's questionable whether the mindless zombies that make up most of the population of this country will remember in 2022 that to have the mayor they've elected to control budapest to actually do so they'll also have to get rid of the nazi party from governmentApr 05 20:19
DaemonFC[m]He was planning an election year stunt by pulling in SWAT teams from the US-Mexico border that are trained to deal with narcoterrorism, to use against families and children in Illinois, and COVID-19 chased them out.Apr 05 20:19
psydreadMinceR, so basically we need some kind of retro gnu/linux from before the time the cowboys got involved and took the whole thing to the wild wild westApr 05 20:19
MinceRthey aren't cowboys, they're authoritariansApr 05 20:20
MinceRand this is not the wild wild west, this is windows 2: electric boogalooApr 05 20:20
DaemonFC[m]I suspect what will happen is the fire just keeps raging on while he does nothing, while the "miracle cures" he touts all end up being dead ends or almost useless, and it will be months before ICE would even consider doing anything. Apr 05 20:21
MinceRdo you not have extra special Emergency Powers for the president over there?Apr 05 20:21
MinceRif he declares a case of emergency, that isApr 05 20:21
MinceRor if his flunkies in congress doApr 05 20:21
DaemonFC[m]Hydroxychloroquine and a Z-Pack is essentially just the American version of that guy in Iran saying stick olive oil up your butt and pray to Allah.Apr 05 20:22
MinceRthen again, since he's the supreme commander, you could just end up with a military juntaApr 05 20:22
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Actually, that isn't quite true.Apr 05 20:22
MinceRall in the name of protecting you from the plague, of courseApr 05 20:22
DaemonFC[m]There is a chain of command at the Pentagon.Apr 05 20:23
MinceRwhich part isn't quite true?Apr 05 20:23
DaemonFC[m]Not everyone Trump appoints has ended up having his back.Apr 05 20:23
DaemonFC[m]Consider the FERC and the TVA, overruling him on coal bailouts.Apr 05 20:23

DaemonFC[m]After they surprise him, it's too late because the law frequently says they can't be dismissed unless they have committed misconduct. Apr 05 20:24
DaemonFC[m]During the 1950s, the government gave pretty much useless advice about atomic bombs too. They said when you see the flash, get under your school desk. Well, that will totally prevent you from being vaporized, exposed to lethal amounts of radiation, blindness, burns...Apr 05 20:26
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: Sounds like a piece of placebo advice.Apr 05 20:37
XRevan86Might work better than "Hm, I guess you die now. Don't panic though, or you'll just make this worse."Apr 05 20:43
