DaemonFCI mean, there's a lot to say about living there. It's cheap to live there. It never gets truly nasty out. So no salt, so potholes and shit aren't everywhere and your car won't rust.May 10 00:13
DaemonFCIt seems Illinois is just content with taxing us more every year and telling us how much our roads are improving when there's more car-eating potholes than ever and everyone knows it.May 10 00:13
DaemonFCThey have to spend all of the transportation money ripping up the roads there's nothing wrong with and taking 14 years to replace the road.May 10 00:14

DaemonFCMicrosoft was really big on doing languages and compilers. It would have been nicer if any of it worked and stayed working.May 10 00:33
DaemonFCNow they don't even have to fuck that up. They can just wait for others to do it for them and then buy the foundation behind those.May 10 00:33
MinceRand then fuck them upMay 10 00:38
schestowitz-TRno other options, no choiceMay 10 00:39
schestowitz-TRIE6May 10 00:39
schestowitz-TRIR6 monoculture was smashed by FirefoxMay 10 00:40
schestowitz-TRbecause Mi ShellBanker killed MoillaMay 10 00:40
schestowitz-TRfor $3,000,000+ per yearMay 10 00:41
DaemonFCschestowitz-TR, I usually do tax planning like I was saying earlier. If we're on the verge of losing more than we gain, I just do unpaid time off and have the tax department eat it.May 10 00:41
schestowitz-TRthe biggest tax right not is inflationMay 10 00:41
DaemonFCSometimes you're like a few hundred bucks away from owing the IRS another $1,000 or something.May 10 00:42
schestowitz-TRwalmart prices up 25%May 10 00:42
schestowitz-TRprofits up maybe 15%May 10 00:42
schestowitz-TRsalaries rise 5%May 10 00:42
DaemonFCSo it makes more sense to take a couple unpaid days off in front of the TV and get a bigger tax refund.May 10 00:42
schestowitz-TRthank you, Waltons!May 10 00:42
DaemonFCschestowitz-TR, Yeah, some of Walmart's benefits are really good, some aren't worth signing up for.May 10 00:43
schestowitz-TRIRS is a global jokeMay 10 00:43
schestowitz-TRthey take taxMay 10 00:43
schestowitz-TRthen they give you a big jobMay 10 00:43
schestowitz-TRand then "return" some of what they tookMay 10 00:43
DaemonFCThe vision plan gets you a discount, but you have to use it off their insanely marked up eyeglass prices.May 10 00:43
schestowitz-TRinstead of just taking the correct amount to begin withMay 10 00:43
DaemonFCAnd how often do you really need an exam and new glasses?May 10 00:43
schestowitz-TRencumbered stressed citizens who might already be working 2 jobs only to earn the salary of oneMay 10 00:44
DaemonFCIf you push it, probably a few years. Once every few years.May 10 00:44
DaemonFCSo you can sign up for Walmart's vision plan but it's just going to cost you money, in premiums and forcing you into their Vision Center, which is like 5 times the cost of going online with your prescription.May 10 00:44
DaemonFCOhhhhh, I can get a $100 discount from a pair of $500 glasses! Look at me! All I had to do was pay $300 in premiums! Can you believe I even got an eye exam out of this?May 10 00:45
techrights-newshowtoforge has been taken over by some dodgy new owner, I suspect (not Falko), who then outsourced the whole thing to clownflare, now blocking a lot of people who don't run JS (the site itself does not need it, but clownflare the cancer wants it). So RSS feeds too have died. howtoforge cannot survive like this...May 10 00:46
DaemonFCI mean, you go online and you can get two nice pair of glasses for $125 if you buy them at once. An exam is like $70.May 10 00:46
DaemonFCSo you do that once every 3 years, that's $65 a year averaged out. If you buy the Walmart vision insurance, it's $300 over 3 years just for the insurance.May 10 00:47
techrights-newsBillBC will also be defunded and die in a few years. Its current business plan is taking Jeffrey Epstein and Bill and Lolita Gates Foundation bribe money for reputation laundering. Jimmy Savile is back. But now with BRIBES.May 10 00:47
DaemonFCThen you need to pay $750 for two pair of glasses after the discount.May 10 00:47
DaemonFCSo they make $1,050 off of you when you could have just paid $195 over the same time period.May 10 00:48
DaemonFCWhat kind of shitty insurance costs you five times more than going uninsured?May 10 00:48
DaemonFCAnd for major eye surgery or something, there's no coverage at all.May 10 00:49
DaemonFCSo it's not like you're even buying it in case you need cataract surgery or something someday.May 10 00:49
DaemonFCThere's no justification for buying this.May 10 00:49
DaemonFCBut it's still "tax advantaged".May 10 00:50
DaemonFCSo the IRS is subsidizing insurance that takes more than it's worth out of you.May 10 00:50
DaemonFCOur tax laws make pretty much no sense whatsoever.May 10 00:51

DaemonFCTurboTax owes us money.May 10 01:50
DaemonFCThe FTC sued them because they were committing fraudulent advertising about free tax returns and then violating the terms of the IRS Free File program.May 10 01:51
DaemonFCSo I think we'll get at least $30 and perhaps as much as $90.May 10 01:51
DaemonFCI think it'll probably be $60 though.May 10 01:51
DaemonFCThe first year I filed, they billed me for taking an American Opportunity Tax Credit and some other refundable credits even though we actually had no taxable income that year.May 10 01:52
DaemonFC2019 was bad.May 10 01:52
DaemonFCI was living off of credit cards.May 10 01:52
DaemonFC2020 was better.May 10 01:53
DaemonFCUSCIS figured they'd issue Mandy's work permit and then call us in the next week and ask how we'd support ourselves.May 10 01:53
DaemonFCThen COVID caused them to shut down all of their offices and he found a job the day our original interview was canceled.May 10 01:54
DaemonFCTHen by the time they actually got us in, he'd been employed for about a year.May 10 01:54
DaemonFCI told him "Go apply at Walmart." and his idiot sister was demanding that he take a 90 day temp job at Medline and was furious because he applied there and they told him no, and he took the job at Walmart.May 10 01:55
DaemonFCShe tried to extort me for his entire paycheck "Or I'll drop the support affidavit I signed.". I told her "Go ahead.". She paid some scumbag lawyer a bunch of money to get rid of it and then texted us the papers she was sending there, like to try to harass me.May 10 01:56
DaemonFCThen she started screaming at Catholic Charities, which is where I went to file our case because it was $800 there and I didn't have any money, and Trump was going to change the law in a month to where they wouldn't accept our filing if I didn't beat the deadline.May 10 01:57
DaemonFCCatholic Charities dumped us and said they wouldn't represent us anymore and she was "blowing up their email and ringing their phone off the hook". I told them, "Well, that is disorderly conduct. I suggest you call the police if you feel it's getting out of hand.".May 10 01:57
DaemonFC(Calling someone on the phone repeatedly with the primary intention of making the phone ring is disorderly conduct.)May 10 01:58

DaemonFCSo I waited. Ended up filing an extension of his work permit, and it was approved.May 10 01:59
DaemonFCWaited some more, they scheduled a new interview. I hired a new lawyer, had her fill out a replacement sponsorship contract using the federal regulation that allows "the intending immigrant's own income to qualify if they are being sponsored by their US citizen spouse", and to project his current income for a year, based on all of the payroll stubs I saved.May 10 02:00
DaemonFCThey threw MARISOL's letter and the support affidavit she filled out in the trash and filed the new one and approved us.May 10 02:01
DaemonFCBut before that happened, and before Mandy had been employed long, I filed bankruptcy and cleared out several hundred thousand dollars worth of my own debt, so USCIS couldn't ask me how we'd support the household with all the debt, because there is no debt.May 10 02:02
DaemonFCSo in the span of 20 months I beat back criminal charges, got married, filed an immigration case out of the motel room I was living in off credit card debt after tricking that idiot into helping us get it filed thinking she'd shake me down later, found my spouse a job, filed bankruptcy, and rebooted the immigration case.May 10 02:04
DaemonFCDuring all of that, I decided that I'd stick it to the government again, so I filed a lawsuit against the State Police and forced them to give me my gun permit back.May 10 02:04
DaemonFCI think matey understands that I actually like dealing with legal paperwork sometimes just because I find it amusing.May 10 02:06
DaemonFCThat guy that thought he was going to fuck me on the car keys ended up with me filing a 12 page credit card dispute in which I left him no plausible way to respond to.May 10 02:06
DaemonFCAnd that was over $200.May 10 02:06
DaemonFCBy refusing to just hand me my money back he got the $238 (or whatever it was...something like that) clawed back by the bank and then they took another $100 from him for having to investigate it.May 10 02:07
DaemonFCI thought it was funnier than all get out because I asked for a refund and he threatened to call the police on me. May 10 02:08
DaemonFCSo I got on my credit card website and said "Okay fucker.".May 10 02:08
DaemonFCI wish I had just gone to Buick to begin with.May 10 02:09
DaemonFCI figured it would be like $500 a key because the guy at KIA, when I was buying the KIA Soul, said "Don't ever lose these. They're $550 each if you have to replace one.".May 10 02:10
DaemonFCSo it stuck in my head "Hey, if you have a security key, don't go to the dealer. Go to a locksmith or something.".May 10 02:10
DaemonFCAnd that's true on some cars, but Buick doesn't charge more than the locksmiths or Battery Nazi.May 10 02:11
DaemonFCAnd locksmiths and Battery Nazi are just hit or miss.May 10 02:11
DaemonFCI'm glad I didn't go on vacation or something and end up 300 miles from home and then Battery Asshole's key decided to glitch out.May 10 02:12
DaemonFCschestowitz-TR, I changed my Yelp review of the Battery Nazi as they kept yanking it and shouting "Code of Conduct!".May 10 02:12
DaemonFCThis one looks like they're going to let it stay up.May 10 02:13
DaemonFCApparently calling someone a lunatic for behaving like a lunatic (yelling, cursing, threatening to call the police, over an unsatisfied customer....) is not okay. Who knew?May 10 02:13
chicksahoylolMay 10 02:17
chicksahoygood one DaemonFC May 10 02:17
DaemonFCchicksahoy, I included in the credit card dispute that had I known I'd be walking into Batteries Plus Crazy Person, I'd have just gone to Buick right away, and I had to go to Buick and pay them to redo everything, and here's my receipt from Buick with the technician affirming that there was no way to get any of the stuff Batteries Plus sold me to work.May 10 02:19

DaemonFCThe post office sent back the authorized user credit cards I got (to hold onto) in my mom's name on my account to help her credit score, saying she wasn't on the box.May 10 02:24
DaemonFCBut they give me everyone's junk mail, including the $3,000 in unpaid parking ticket woman, the guy who fucked a 12 year old in Michigan and failed to register, and Paul's notification that his idiotic vehicle protection plan will have a price increase.May 10 02:25
DaemonFCThis is where I finally had to apply for an apartment because everyone else has standards.May 10 02:25
DaemonFC:/May 10 02:25
DaemonFCThe Gang Police were out here one day hauling some guy off.May 10 02:26
DaemonFCOn a few occasions, a guy was beating up his girlfriend and dragging her through the hallways, and I called 911 and the guy must have heard me because he came and stared at my door for a while.May 10 02:26
DaemonFCIt's fine. Let him beat down my front door so Smith & Wesson can teach him the error of his ways.May 10 02:27
DaemonFCThat's what I say.May 10 02:27
DaemonFCI was standing in here with a loaded revolver aimed at the door.May 10 02:28
DaemonFCIt's important that you wait until they're actually in your apartment, and then it's very difficult for the prosecutor to claim that you weren't justified.May 10 02:28
DaemonFCBut he just stared at the door for a while and then left.May 10 02:29
DaemonFCI think he thought he was intimidating me.May 10 02:29
DaemonFCHad he gone further, that would have been the end of his life.May 10 02:29
DaemonFCHe'll never know that. People piss off the wrong person and then that's the end of that.May 10 02:30
DaemonFCIf it wasn't me that day it'll be some drug dealer with a piece that plugs him some other day, because that's how it is.May 10 02:30
DaemonFCI don't really think it would fuck me up forever if I absolutely had to defend myself. I think the anti-gun groups borrowed a page out of the "You'll feel like shit forever if you have an abortion." playbook.May 10 02:31
DaemonFCI know my mind and my conscience well enough to know what would leave me scarred for life.May 10 02:32
DaemonFCJoining an army (voluntarily) and killing another soldier might. Killing someone for no reason or in furtherance of a crime definitely would.May 10 02:33
DaemonFCBut I don't subscribe to that "You should feel guilty for dropping some no good waste of skin that was trying to murder you." thing. I don't see how anyone would. You should sleep like a baby after that.May 10 02:34
DaemonFCThere are certain things in life where everyone has a choice as to whether they're going to do right or wrong, and doing wrong comes with risks.May 10 02:35
DaemonFCBut I live in a pretty bad place, but I make the most of it. The safe places all cost twice as much to rent....for a reason.May 10 02:36

darwinThe Beatles claimed to have become bigger than Jesus, then Brian Kernighan & Dennis Ritchie (K&R) & Ken Thompson became bigger than God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit... others might say RMS, Linus Torvalds, Patrick VolkerdingMay 10 06:53
darwini know, UNIX always was proprietary but almost all source code was available, and still is after Caldera/SCO opened it (forgot if was free/libre/copyleft license) in recent decades, so in recent years we're even seeing old Unix utilities & shells being ported to modern POSIX-based/Unix/GNU/Linux OS and AT&T & SCO & etc. apparently don't careMay 10 06:55
darwini hope versions seven to 10 will be opened also, or better yet freedMay 10 06:56
darwinpart why it wasn't considered free/libre is originally and maybe still to some extent it's only for non-commercial usage, which is okay for personal usage but RMS criticized non-commercial licensesMay 10 06:57

darwinso yeah, unfortunately 'opensource' (concept also predating the term) still has relevant meaning for code you can read & use and learn from, maybe even distribute changes, but not use commercially.  I'm against opensource and avoid the term but unfortunately it's not over yetMay 10 06:59
darwini think the Unix creators are/were good people, just exploited by AT&T & etc.May 10 07:00

DaemonFCThat actually happened to me once back in the 90s.May 10 12:25
DaemonFCThey sent a letter to the dog and I was like "What the hell is a bank doing sending a letter to my dog?".May 10 12:25
DaemonFCBack then they frequently did just sign you up for a credit card without you even applying and stuck it in the mail.May 10 12:25
DaemonFCYou could start charging things to it right away. It was crazy.May 10 12:26
DaemonFCI wondered how they signed up the dog. Dogs don't even have SSNs, so how do they do that?May 10 12:26
bnchsDaemonFC, i wonder how much money they spent on sending mail to people's dogsMay 10 12:26

DaemonFCThen they'd mail it to you.May 10 12:39
DaemonFCThere's a lot of reasons why shopping malls have collapsed.May 10 12:40
DaemonFCBut with the rise of the Internet, there's been less of a demand for printed books and DVDs and CDs, software in boxes, and stuff, so they've all lost like 4-6 of their anchor tenants because of that alone.May 10 12:41
DaemonFCThere's still a store in the Gurnee mall that sells CDs and DVDs, but it's always pretty much empty aside from the person working there.May 10 12:42

DaemonFCWhen CDs were relatively new, it was like $30-35 per disc, in the 80s. You still run across some with the original tag.May 10 12:43
DaemonFCMinimum wage was like $2 back then?May 10 12:43
DaemonFCSo you had to be pretty well off to have a shelf of CDs.May 10 12:43
bnchshow far we've come beyond using paper tapeMay 10 12:44
bnchsthey still use tape for data storageMay 10 12:44
DaemonFCYeah, I used to buy blank cassette tapes and use my aunt's stereo deck to copy off a CD onto a tape.May 10 12:45
DaemonFCNothing stopped you from doing that.May 10 12:45
DaemonFCYou had to do it in real time though.May 10 12:45
DaemonFCBut the tapes were like $1 each maybe?May 10 12:46
DaemonFCBuying them pre-recorded was like $15, and buying the CD was twice that.May 10 12:46
bnchstapes are pretty powerfulMay 10 12:46
bnchsthey can handle tons of dataMay 10 12:46
DaemonFCSo if your friend had a CD and you wanted to make a tape off it, it was worth the nuisance.May 10 12:47
DaemonFCBecause each one you copied to a tape saved you abotu $14 or so.May 10 12:47

DaemonFCI at least understand people who like macOS if they're not going to roll up their sleeves a little and get cracking on a better operating system.May 10 18:44
MinceRso once it becomes obvious to most people what MICROS~1 and ibm/deadrat turned what was GNU/Linux into, the masses will migrate once againMay 10 18:45
DaemonFCWindows is the absolute low anchor for what to expect out of an OS.May 10 18:45
MinceRi can't determine whether windows or macOS is worseMay 10 18:45
MinceRthey're competing hard at being the worstMay 10 18:45
DaemonFCIt's not only malicious (which Apple is too), but it's horrifically bloated and full of bugs and lulz.May 10 18:45
MinceRthey're both making steps toward locking out third-party applicationsMay 10 18:45
MinceRand the "immutable filesystem" bullshit is also a move toward thatMay 10 18:46
DaemonFCI don't like horrifically bloated programs. And you can argue all day about what bloat means, but standing next to GNOME or KDE on GNU/Linux, Windows is definitely bloated.May 10 18:46
DaemonFCThose $199 Windows laptops that the government is paying half of for poor people are like Chris Farley's old sketch, fat guy in a little jacket.May 10 18:47
MinceRstanding next to a free Unix system, gnome or kde on systemd/Linux is horrifically bloatedMay 10 18:47
DaemonFCYou can still install and use a GNU/Linux system on a mid to late 2000s PC with the software up to date.May 10 18:47
DaemonFCYou kind of have to lower your expectations and cut the OS to fit, but it does at least still work.May 10 18:47
DaemonFCNo dice on the Windows-side.May 10 18:47
DaemonFCIf it's not at least 2018, it won't be "supported" by Windows 11, and a lot of stuff that didn't _ship_ with Windows 11 won't run it properly or be guaranteed to get updates if you use it.May 10 18:48
DaemonFCSo I mean, on that one point alone, it's best to just stay away.May 10 18:48
DaemonFCNow, my dad says he uses Windows 11 on one of his systems that came with it and he says he likes it better than Windows 10.May 10 18:49
DaemonFCI said, it's not saying much.May 10 18:49
DaemonFCIt's like saying you upgraded from a Yugo to a GEO Metro.May 10 18:49
DaemonFCBut even that's not giving Microsoft credit.May 10 18:50

MinceRis the geo metro so much worse than the suzuki swift/cultus on which it is based? :>May 10 18:50
MinceRsounds like it isMay 10 18:50
DaemonFCWell, there's still people out there looking for Metros and parts.May 10 18:50
DaemonFCThey cannibalize old Metros to keep theirs running if they can't find a suitable replacement part.May 10 18:51
DaemonFCAnd the reason why is simple.May 10 18:51
DaemonFCIt was a car from the 90s that was simply designed that got over 40 mpg in the city and over 50 on the highway.May 10 18:51
DaemonFCYou _could_ do that in the 90s.May 10 18:51
DaemonFCYou did not need all this Hybrid crap.May 10 18:51
DaemonFCThe Hybrid crap costs so much to maintain that the car is basically a write-off after 9 or 10 years.May 10 18:52
DaemonFCAll you need to do to keep a Metro going is find a halfway decent mechanic and cheap parts.May 10 18:52
MinceRafaict they didn't even put GM engines in MetrosMay 10 18:52
DaemonFCSo that's why people still want them.May 10 18:52

DaemonFCIf you plan to keep the car for a really long time, that was like 4 or 5 times over the life of the car. Most shops charge less than $200 for supplies (fluid, filter, gasket) and labor. A replacement transmission costs about $4,000 on up. So you have your choice of paying $800 or so broken out into four installments to keep the one you have running for the life of the car, or just letting the fluid degrade until it wears out the transmission.May 10 21:21

DaemonFCEventually the filter will plug up. Some OEMs didn't put a bypass in, and so it will increase the strain on the transmission and the pump that keeps the fluid circulating and it will burn out one or both pretty fast at that point.May 10 21:23

DaemonFChttps://wgntv.com/news/after-more-than-20-years-apple-discontinues-ipod/May 10 22:02
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-wgntv.com | After more than 20 years, Apple discontinues iPod | WGN-TVMay 10 22:02
DaemonFCI posted a long reply.May 10 22:02
DaemonFCFact: The iPod was not anything special. It was just an MP3/AAC codec with some storage and a secret proprietary protocol that only iTunes was supposed to be able to use. The fact that it worked at all without iTunes was due to the reverse engineering effort behind the libimobiledevice library, which got them working under GNU/Linux.May 10 22:02
DaemonFCWhenever libimobiledevice reversed the sync protocol, Apple would change it for no reason just to break syncing without iTunes, which was the worst program for the PC ever. The only way to be safe from them was to absolutely never connect the iPod to iTunes and to only sync it with something like Banshee or Rhythmbox.May 10 22:02
DaemonFCFact: Apple claimed that AAC files sounded better than MP3, but that was only somewhat true at the time. Later MP3 encoders, such as LAME and even FhG's improved past the quality of Apple's AAC encoder. Apple never bothered to even implement MP3 to specification, which is why "podcasts" in MP3 are all Constant Bitrate.May 10 22:02
DaemonFCIf you use Variable BItrate MP3s and try to play them on an Apple product, they'll work, but seeking will not behave right. It will just take you to some random part of the file. It does this because Apple ignores the VBRI or XING header and just counts the number of frames and assumes that every frame is the size of the first frame. The people working at Apple are idiots, not engineers, and they make products for idiots.May 10 22:02
DaemonFCFact: The iPod was massively overpriced. Often selling for 5-6 times as much money as other players, bringing no advantages to the market. In fact, it has very significant downsides, like the sync protocol and the fact that while other players support Ogg Vorbis, Opus, and FLAC, Apple has been stuck in the year 2001 for the duration.May 10 22:02
DaemonFCFact: The iPod was the greatest facilitator of pirated music in history, but it was Diamond that had to take the lawsuit that made the MP3 player obviously legal. The RIAA tried to declare that MP3 players were illegal because you may pirate music and put it on them.May 10 22:02
DaemonFCThis is why chainsaws are illegal. Because you could attack someone with one. Therefore they are illegal. 😉May 10 22:02
DaemonFCThe average iPod user only bought 23 songs, even though they never stored less than 1,000 and usually stored 30,000 or more. Obviously nobody is going to spend $400 on something then only put 23 songs on it.May 10 22:02
DaemonFCFact: Apple tries to take credit for removing the "FoulPlay" Digital Restriction Malware they used to impose on iTunes music files, but the fact is that many other stores, like Amazon and 7Digital, sold malware-free MP3 files for years before Apple jumped on the bandwagon.May 10 22:02
DaemonFCFact: The article mentions a guy hired by Apple when his startup was about to collapse, but makes no mention of the fact that Apple's products suck so hard that they would have gone bankrupt in 1997 themselves had Microsoft not bailed them out to claim they had competition, even if it was worse than Windows somehow.May 10 22:03
DaemonFCI added: Today with the iPhones, iPads, and Macs, Apple has a universal backdoor that can change them to do any malicious thing they don't currently do as soon as you connect them to the Internet and install an update. They blackmail users to install the malicious updates by threatening that the computer will stop working at all eventually if you don't.May 10 22:04
DaemonFCFact: While the iPod is dead, things that are far more corrosive to user freedom live on, and users should reject those too and use GNU/Linux and Free and Open Source Software, and devices which interact with those.May 10 22:06
DaemonFCSome people with a Mac installed an update through the universal backdoor, only to find that Apple deleted their entire local music library, which may have cost them thousands of dollars or many hours of ripping from CDs, or both, and then demanded that they subscribe to Apple Music, which stops working without an Internet connection, or if you don't pay them each month forever.May 10 22:08

DaemonFCIt plays Opus files and the runtime is barely any different than playing MP3s.May 10 22:12
MinceR10 214749 < activelow> why did FSG/GNU blow up compilation with 10x memory consumption and compilation time?May 10 22:13
MinceRto produce binaries that are faster, and possibly also smallerMay 10 22:13
MinceRwhich is generally seen as desirable when using C or C++May 10 22:14
DaemonFCYeah, there's an up front cost at compilation time, but you can end up with binaries that work better.May 10 22:14
DaemonFCWhen you have a build farm like Red Hat does, you can easily eat that up front cost.May 10 22:14
