DaemonFC[m]I'm free to discuss my case more now.Aug 11 02:05
DaemonFC[m]I made a plea deal with the prosecutor.Aug 11 02:05
DaemonFC[m]They dropped one of the aggravated assault with deadly weapon charges and converted the other into a disorderly conduct.Aug 11 02:05
DaemonFC[m]I agreed to the minimum sentence the court could impose. Supervision.Aug 11 02:05
DaemonFC[m]12 months of Supervision and a fine.Aug 11 02:06
DaemonFC[m]The first 4 months are monitored by Probation and will involve all the stuff you'd expect. Checking in, random drug tests. Nothing that's that big of a deal.Aug 11 02:06
scientesexcept that probation is for-profitAug 11 02:06
scientesagain, you need to get out of the statesAug 11 02:07
DaemonFC[m]I have to prove that I'm going to see my psychiatrist and filling my medication.Aug 11 02:07
scientesit is a crazy landAug 11 02:07
scientesthere was no caseAug 11 02:07
scientesas there was no proofAug 11 02:07
DaemonFC[m]Then we go back to court on December 9th and if I'm not in violation of probation, they convert the rest to unsupervised supervision. Aug 11 02:07
scientesthat just means you have to pay for jack shitAug 11 02:07
scientesand the idea that you have to pay for something that is required is bullshitAug 11 02:08
DaemonFC[m]Pretty much.Aug 11 02:08
scientesits a fineAug 11 02:08
scientesnot a feeAug 11 02:08
scientestotal nonsenseAug 11 02:08
DaemonFC[m]The idea is that you're a criminal.Aug 11 02:08
DaemonFC[m]The court has done you a "favor" by letting you stay out of jail and proving that you'll behave.Aug 11 02:08
scientesif they want you to be a slave they should sentence you to hard laborAug 11 02:08
scientesexcept that in the US labor never makes money Aug 11 02:08
DaemonFC[m]And you have to pay for a probation officer to watch you.Aug 11 02:09
scientesits just a giant boon-doggleAug 11 02:09
MinceRthe state is a giant boondoggleAug 11 02:09
DaemonFC[m]Yeah. Probation means you owe the state money.Aug 11 02:09
scienteslike in Texas the prisoners make Victoria's SecretAug 11 02:09
DaemonFC[m]Jail means the state has to pay money to put you somewhere.Aug 11 02:09
DaemonFC[m]So they haven't done you a favor. They've done themselves a favor.Aug 11 02:09
scientesDaemonFC[m], except the GULAGs were actually profitableAug 11 02:09
scientesI'm not saying they were great, but at least they were self-sufficientAug 11 02:09
DaemonFC[m]They don't want to spend money to put low level offenders in jail. Especially if they will pay money to stay out of jail. And who wouldn't?Aug 11 02:10
scientesits just about which makes them more moneyAug 11 02:10
scientesas in, gives them excuse to bilk the public moreAug 11 02:11
DaemonFC[m]I said, "Well, it'll do I guess. I'm not going to smile in a probation photo.".Aug 11 02:11
DaemonFC[m]Hmm, messages not being sent.Aug 11 02:13

DaemonFC[m]They asked me what would happen if they drug tested me yesterday.Aug 11 02:20
DaemonFC[m]I said they'd waste some of their time and then I'd go home.Aug 11 02:20
---MinceR gives voice to rianne__Aug 11 02:27
DaemonFC[m]A lot of people get their probation violated by just outright stupidity.Aug 11 02:38
DaemonFC[m]My mom's ex husband's (Gonad) son-in-law went into a bar to cash his paycheck.Aug 11 02:39
DaemonFC[m]And someone saw him and reported him to his probation officer, and he went to jail.Aug 11 02:39
DaemonFC[m]After he was in jail, my step-sister went "Well, what were the chances that someone would see him in there?".Aug 11 02:40
DaemonFC[m]In a town of 17,000 people.Aug 11 02:40
DaemonFC[m]When all of the bars are in a row one block away from the court.Aug 11 02:40
DaemonFC[m]I suppose people also get themselves in trouble posting pictures of themselves checked into a bar on Facebook or something.Aug 11 02:40

MrGreenFriendschestowitz, not sure. i think he is busy with personal stuffAug 11 04:33
schestowitzcubexyz: thanks, good... I still post the logs, but periodically when it's quiet: August, xmas, EasterAug 11 04:33
schestowitzMrGreenFriend: yes, that's what I thoughtAug 11 04:33
MrGreenFriendwhat is the link for the logs?Aug 11 04:33

cubexyzoh yeah you got tons of info thereAug 11 04:35
schestowitzI see we started 2008Aug 11 04:35
schestowitzBravo to MinceR for staying such a dedicated regular for so many yearsAug 11 04:36
cubexyzis that when techrights started, 2008?Aug 11 04:36
schestowitzDaemonFC[m] has also been here for ages, cubexyz... Slated (Keith) helped initial setupAug 11 04:36
schestowitzcubexyz: no, 2006Aug 11 04:37
schestowitzbut the channels (IRC) came later onAug 11 04:37
schestowitzI was a doctoral student at the time and had a machine at the log running there just for logging, IIRCAug 11 04:37
schestowitzI still have many, many dreams about those days (going back to that lab to check the IRC stuff is all set up)Aug 11 04:38
cubexyzI first noticed linux in the tech schools appearing in 1994Aug 11 04:39
schestowitzdays ago at the gym I tried tracing back our first use of the term openwashingAug 11 04:39
schestowitzto verify it was use who coined it (first)Aug 11 04:39
schestowitzcubexyz: that's when Linux Journal startedAug 11 04:40
cubexyzthe whole Linux/IRC/Community thing could have started much earlier than it didAug 11 04:40
schestowitz1994: wget "https://secure2.linuxjournal.com/ljarchive/LJ/001/2734.htmlAug 11 04:40

schestowitzOn it goes, 12500 or so URLsAug 11 04:41
cubexyzcan't remember when I first started with IRC.. it was in the 1990's sometimeAug 11 04:41
schestowitzI first used IRC in 1994 or 1995Aug 11 04:41
cubexyzah but did you talk about linux on irc in 1994? :)Aug 11 04:41
schestowitzI used a dial-up modemAug 11 04:41
schestowitzI didn't know about GNU or about Linux until years laterAug 11 04:42
schestowitzI was about 12 anywayAug 11 04:42
cubexyz1994 was when Linux really started to catch onAug 11 04:43
schestowitzDidn't even know I'd live IRC 24/7 for 12 yearsAug 11 04:43
cubexyzxrubik was 1994, I remember thatAug 11 04:43
schestowitzLinux now goes into a different phase -- one that started years backAug 11 04:43
schestowitz(and it's not a good phase)Aug 11 04:43
schestowitzI think it's too late to change this until a new wave startsAug 11 04:44
schestowitzlike a post-FSF FSFAug 11 04:44
cubexyzit's morphed into TVs, Android devices, etcAug 11 04:44
schestowitzThey aren't keeping upAug 11 04:44
schestowitzlistening devices, 'smart' things', 'cloud'Aug 11 04:44
cubexyzDid I mention I was selling FreeBSD in 1995?Aug 11 04:45
schestowitzno, not that I can recallAug 11 04:45
cubexyzso I did try even then to get people off windozeAug 11 04:45
schestowitzMy friend from school told me about Linux firstAug 11 04:45
schestowitzhe experimented with it, he was very geekyAug 11 04:45

schestowitz(useless fact: the other side of techrights and rtuxmachines is nowadays done in northern Finland)Aug 11 04:47
schestowitzBSD missed the boatAug 11 04:47
schestowitzand they too, while valuing freedom, rarely speak about freedomAug 11 04:47
schestowitzthere's a growing push to fork Linux in DisaporaAug 11 04:48
schestowitzWe have lots of chats there, with Alex Oliva as candidate to leadAug 11 04:48
schestowitzbut to get vendors to supply drivers etc. would not be easyAug 11 04:48
schestowitzesp. under gplv3 termsAug 11 04:48
cubexyzBSD is pretty importantAug 11 04:49
schestowitzit isAug 11 04:49
schestowitzbut...Aug 11 04:49
schestowitzif you break down the issues we now have..Aug 11 04:49
schestowitz(depending on one's POV)Aug 11 04:49
schestowitzBSD cannot offer a solution, likely a regressionAug 11 04:50
schestowitzBSD would be easier than Linux to exploit for bad agenda like spying and DRMAug 11 04:50
cubexyzLinux/Android is where the action is now, but BIND, TCP/IP stack, vi, sendmail, all that came from BSDAug 11 04:50
schestowitztuxmachines also covers BSD, but Guix and Hurd likely have more promise, just not momentum. There's also gnunetAug 11 04:51
schestowitzcubexyz: also sshAug 11 04:51
schestowitzbsd is good at the security side of things, typically, wherever minimalism and encryption areAug 11 04:52
schestowitzoh, BTW, cubexyz...Aug 11 04:53
schestowitzwife and I thinking of taking a ferry to Belfast this month, we never visited IrelandAug 11 04:53
cubexyzhmmm, a bit surprising... you're pretty closeAug 11 04:54
cubexyzI don't think I ever visited england/scotland Aug 11 04:54
cubexyzaside from going to an airport then on to North AmericaAug 11 04:55
schestowitzit's 8 hours by ferry from LiverpoolAug 11 04:55
schestowitzI promised not to fly more than once per two yearsAug 11 04:55
schestowitz(environment)Aug 11 04:55
cubexyzI'm not positive Tatu did ssh on BSD, but maybe he didAug 11 04:56
schestowitzTatu?Aug 11 04:57
cubexyzI think there was an early fork... which led to opensshAug 11 04:57
cubexyzTatu Ylonen, sorry about the lack of proper accentsAug 11 04:57
schestowitznever heard of him tbhAug 11 04:57
cubexyzthe inventor of ssh :)Aug 11 04:58
schestowitzdoes one need do 'invent' it?Aug 11 04:58
schestowitzSurely there's LOADS of prior artAug 11 04:58
cubexyzok, he went from rsh to sshAug 11 04:59
cubexyzyes, trueAug 11 04:59
schestowitzI meanAug 11 04:59
schestowitzit's a feature addition thingAug 11 04:59
schestowitzport forwarding, tunnels, X Aug 11 04:59
schestowitzalso forwarding of keysAug 11 04:59
cubexyzhe did invent the ssh protocol, which is significantAug 11 05:00
schestowitzthe basic concept is that of secure passage of commands over terminal sessionsAug 11 05:00
schestowitzthe word "invent" seems glorifiedAug 11 05:00
schestowitz(as it usually is)Aug 11 05:00
cubexyzit's not even that oldAug 11 05:02
schestowitzby that definition, so many people were inventors for extending something that had existedAug 11 05:03
cubexyzeven in 1995 I don't think I ever used sshAug 11 05:03
schestowitzI found out about it in 2000Aug 11 05:03
cubexyzhe's tjssh on twitterAug 11 05:05
schestowitzheh. TwitterAug 11 05:05
schestowitzI only access once a day now to check repliesAug 11 05:06
schestowitzI hope people treat is as a relic, like some do GitHubAug 11 05:06
cubexyzthere was some warning from him in 2017 about linux malware via sshAug 11 05:06
schestowitzfor FOSS these sites need to perishAug 11 05:06
schestowitzcentralised and proprietaryAug 11 05:06
cubexyzI never use twitter :)Aug 11 05:06
schestowitzdon'tAug 11 05:06
schestowitzI always tell people, don'tAug 11 05:06
schestowitzit seems to be dying anywayAug 11 05:06
schestowitzthey turned to ads and spying to make a profitAug 11 05:07
schestowitzfor over a decade only lossesAug 11 05:07
schestowitzand now they just try to make a little profit while driving the old timers awayAug 11 05:07
schestowitzthey cut off the APIsAug 11 05:07
schestowitzWhy you don't see the old style of tweets showing in this IRC channel anymore, kaniini wrote a bot for pleroma insteadAug 11 05:07
schestowitzthere's LOTS more they do wrong this yearAug 11 05:08
MrGreenFriendwhat is best twitter alternative?  here is a list   https://alternativeto.net/software/twitter/?license=opensourceAug 11 05:08
schestowitzhttp://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2019/07/25/good-old-twitter-is-dead/Aug 11 05:08

---schestowitz gives voice to TechrightsBot-trAug 11 05:08

schestowitzkaniini: even better!Aug 11 05:08
schestowitzkaniini: zoobab might soon joins pleroma or similarAug 11 05:09
kaniinior GNU Social users, once GNU Social speaks activitypub (not holding my breath)Aug 11 05:09
schestowitzhe's the best anti-swpats activistAug 11 05:09
schestowitzI hope all the geeks will leave twitter, eventualluyAug 11 05:09
kaniiniapparently there is an activitypub module for GNU Social now, but GNU Social maintainer is too busy not caringAug 11 05:09
schestowitzpeople are there, in Twitter, only for particular users (to be followed) anywayAug 11 05:09
kaniinii guess when all software drops OStatus for it's numerous security flaws, they may careAug 11 05:10
schestowitzXRevan86 said last week something about dumping xml somewhereAug 11 05:11
schestowitzand prior to that cutting off gnu social instances?Aug 11 05:11
schestowitzthe IRC channels here used to have bots for identica/statusnetAug 11 05:11
schestowitzuntil Evan moved to pump.ioAug 11 05:11

cubexyzso it's not like Linux is going awayAug 11 05:19
cubexyzI realize it's not a proper linux, but still...Aug 11 05:20
cubexyzLinux is really a DIY OS anywaysAug 11 05:20
cubexyzit's not like people love win10Aug 11 05:20
cubexyzpeople are always asking for alternativesAug 11 05:21
schestowitzcubexyz: yes, but that tells you what the problem isAug 11 05:21
schestowitzor rather, where industry takes the 'cons0000mer"Aug 11 05:21
MrGreenFriendcubexyz, is it still impossible to wipe chromeOS & install another distro?  last i read, u couldnt do thatAug 11 05:21

cubexyzso I used bothAug 11 05:22
schestowitzseaBIOSAug 11 05:22
schestowitzand on some laptops you need to open the body, voiding the warranty etc.Aug 11 05:22
cubexyzif you're really keen you can corebootize any motherboard :)Aug 11 05:22
MrGreenFriendcubexyz, so u no longer have ChromeOS installed?  (i thought u could only run a 2nd distro, alongside... but that was a while ago- i read that)Aug 11 05:22
schestowitzcubexyz: cruoton is not the sameAug 11 05:22
cubexyzyou have to be really determined thoughAug 11 05:22
kaniiniafter you install SeaBIOS you can actually install anything you wantAug 11 05:23
kaniinilinux, freebsd, even windowsAug 11 05:23
schestowitzalso, in the classic 2gb ram chromebooks chromeOS becomes a big performance overheadAug 11 05:23
cubexyzyeah, don't use 2 gigs, it's just not enough for chromeosAug 11 05:23
schestowitzso get two of themAug 11 05:23
schestowitzconnect over synergyAug 11 05:24
schestowitzchromebooks are very cheapAug 11 05:24
cubexyzseabios is just the 16-bit BIOS partAug 11 05:24
cubexyzyou don't even need seabios for the 32-bit OSesAug 11 05:25
cubexyzyou need the coreboot/libreboot partAug 11 05:25
kaniiniyou need seabios to boot OSes that don't support corebootAug 11 05:25
cubexyzwell sureAug 11 05:25
kaniinilike freebsd or windowsAug 11 05:25
MrGreenFriendschestowitz, thx, that is what i was asking. cool , looks like seaBIOS lets u "nuke & pave"  ;)  http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/chromebook_pixel_linux.txtAug 11 05:26
kaniinimy laptop is corebooted but it just boots straight into grubAug 11 05:26

schestowitzah, that....Aug 11 06:14
schestowitzI post short things about itAug 11 06:14
schestowitzthere's not much to do a long article aboutAug 11 06:14
kaniiniat one time whatsapp was audited as being E2EE, but now facebook claims they can read the messages for 'advertising'Aug 11 06:14

schestowitzthey distort the word LinuxAug 11 06:15
schestowitz(e.g. WSL, i.e. Vista10)Aug 11 06:15
schestowitznow e2e means "only facebook (or other PRISM giant) can read it"Aug 11 06:15
MrGreenFriendit will be very interesting to have those quotes, when WhatsApp backdoor is leaked/discovered (because technically, it is still possible that WA is E2EE,  we just dont know either way, right?)Aug 11 06:16
schestowitzFOSS means proprietary software + openwashing (we threw some library on Microsoft ShitHub)Aug 11 06:16
schestowitzkaniini: I read that after the audit they released a .0.1 version with the back doors addedAug 11 06:17
MrGreenFriendit is still important to keep the real definitions, rather than have them misappropriatedAug 11 06:17
schestowitzso what's audited isn't what's distributed, e.g. as Android binary blobbAug 11 06:17
schestowitzMrGreenFriend: is there much to say about that really? A leak to that effect would be nice, then you can at least present a 'smoking gun'Aug 11 06:18
MrGreenFriendschestowitz,  my point is to narrow it down, to who calls it the correct term.  "purported E2EE" or something simlilarAug 11 06:19

MrGreenFriendreading them now.  the main article is silly because he didn't compare it to Windows/Mac.  However, Linux can always be improved, so i like to be positive.  e.g.  u can check ur runnin services here, and disable ones u don't need:  systemctl --type service --state runningAug 11 10:51

MrGreenFriendi masked (stronger than 'disable')these:  sudo systemctl mask pppd-dns.service  ModemManager.service --nowAug 11 10:55

oiaohmIf you don't have swap.Aug 11 11:14
oiaohmLike you might have like 16 megs of ram base swap.  That will keep the Linux kernel happy.Aug 11 11:15
oiaohmWith all preferences set that nothing else uses it.Aug 11 11:15
oiaohmBasically the Linux kernel need some swap.   If your applications need it that another matter.Aug 11 11:16
schestowitzthat explains some  things I sawAug 11 11:16
MrGreenFriendoiaohm, yeh, running without swap is silly.  i would never even try it.  another reason the article is dumbAug 11 11:17
oiaohmReally the plains with the Linux kernel is at some point to fix the structure handling in kernel memory that it does not need swap.Aug 11 11:18
oiaohmBut that does not exist yet.Aug 11 11:18
oiaohmfreebsd and bsd kernels like that you techically can run without swap because they don't have the structure fragmentation problem.Aug 11 11:18
oiaohmNot like freebsd instant OOM killer is fun either.Aug 11 11:19
oiaohmReally the idea that disabling swap on Linux makes the problem appear sooner is not exactly true it make the problem of Linux kernel cannot defrag particular structures without swap turn up normally before memory presure problems.Aug 11 11:20

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-wiki.archlinux.org | Zswap - ArchWikiAug 11 11:34

MrGreenFriendoiaohm, for game loading times', what is the bottleneck? CPU, GPU, RAM?  because it is not the SSD, as that chart shows (SATA MX500 is right up there with NVME) ^Aug 11 12:10
oiaohmMrGreenFriend: that ADATA at 640 TBW I class as scraping bottom of barrel.   Corsair  and Samsung are all over the 1000TBW.Aug 11 12:11
oiaohmthose intel 660p are only 200TBW.Aug 11 12:11
oiaohmTo be correct me at bottom of barrel would be using WD Black 1TB at 600TBW.Aug 11 12:12
oiaohmSame with some of the lower samsungs.Aug 11 12:13
oiaohmMrGreenFriend: you have to remember a lot of games were optimised for slower hdd stuff.   So their IO bottleneck has always been limited.Aug 11 12:14
MrGreenFriendoiaohm, yeh, i think intel 660p, is the only QLC in that test, right?Aug 11 12:14
oiaohmI have not dug deep into ram types.Aug 11 12:15
oiaohmReally being a 200TBW rating in a 600TBW or better market kind of explains why I have not any.Aug 11 12:16
oiaohmAlso explains why people say they seam to wear down in performance sooner.Aug 11 12:16
oiaohmThat kind of expected when the item is rated to be rewritten somewhere betwene 1/3 to 1/7 of everything good.Aug 11 12:17
MrGreenFriendoiaohm: what happens when u reach the TBW?  do u lose ur data?   or are simply not able to write anymore (i think i read this)?Aug 11 12:19

oiaohmThe controller is not.Aug 11 12:21
XRevan86kaniini: They're working on it. Not fast enough?Aug 11 12:22
oiaohmMrGreenFriend: TBW has an effect how agressive the wearleveling has to be.   Lower the TBW value the worse the  durablity of the storage.   So more likely to hit performace degrade sooner due to wear leveling around degraded cells.Aug 11 12:23
oiaohmMrGreenFriend: and the fact Adata can do 640TBW using micron products there is no reason why Intel branded product could not have been 640 TBW as well.Aug 11 12:25
MrGreenFriendoiaohm: or maybe,  intel is more honest in the TBW rating, than Adata... ;)Aug 11 12:26
oiaohmMrGreenFriend: no Intel decide to put that QLC stuff in their offered hardware.  Adata went with the 64 bit layered chips instead.Aug 11 12:26

XRevan86Most of my communication just happens on XMPP (including IRC through a transport).Aug 11 20:46
scientesI stopped using XMPP when all the providers stopped federatingAug 11 20:47
scientesit isn't that great of a protocol eitherAug 11 20:47

XRevan86scientes: For some reason all attempts to re-invent SQL for all intents and purposes failed miserably.Aug 11 21:00

XRevan86scientes: Exactly.Aug 11 21:02

XRevan86So not true at all.Aug 11 21:03
XRevan86Yes, I sent one message, the transport splitted it in two.Aug 11 21:03
XRevan86I wonder why it did that…Aug 11 21:03

scientesespecially stupid things, like endianness issues and other stuff I don't want to think aboutAug 11 21:05
scienteson friday I spent like 4 hours figuring out that differn't proprocessor defines meant that a struct was differn't sizes in differn't placesAug 11 21:05
XRevan86On the downside of XMPP compared to IRC, there are no "networks". In this way multi-user chats are weaker.Aug 11 21:06
scientesoh that's how they got my dataAug 11 21:06
scientesit was whatsapp sharing data with facebookAug 11 21:07
XRevan86facebook shared data with facebook?Aug 11 21:07
XRevan86What were they thinking %)Aug 11 21:07
scientesi just couldn't figure out how they figured out somethingAug 11 21:07
scientesbut in South America you have to use WhatsApp, because they are corrupt with the telecomsAug 11 21:07
XRevan86doesn't facebook know that facebook is nasty and cannot be trusted with data?Aug 11 21:08
scientesand there is a $1.30/month deal where you only get Facebook+WhatsApp on your phoneAug 11 21:08
XRevan86scientes: "have to"?Aug 11 21:09
scientesif you want to communicate with all those usersAug 11 21:09
scientesyou can also call them (AT&T bell system), but they can't call youAug 11 21:09
XRevan86scientes: I would've called themAug 11 21:09
DaemonFC[m]WhatsApp is more reliable than Sprint's voice network.Aug 11 21:10
DaemonFC[m]So I use it quite often.Aug 11 21:10
XRevan86and told them "you greedy baboons, install Gentoo^W Wire or something"Aug 11 21:10
scientesyes, WhatsApp also has good international call qualityAug 11 21:10
DaemonFC[m]For a little while, I really have no rights.Aug 11 21:10
scientesbut yeah I'm going to try WireAug 11 21:10
DaemonFC[m]As long as a cop or probation officer knows you're on probation, you can't refuse to allow them to search your home or car.Aug 11 21:10
DaemonFC[m]Or anything else, for that matter.Aug 11 21:11
scientesDaemonFC[m], no, the police still aren't suppose to searchAug 11 21:11
DaemonFC[m]Like a computer or your phone.Aug 11 21:11
scientesbut again, the US is a lawless placeAug 11 21:11
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, well, they can get your probation officer out there to go on a fishing expedition because a condition of supervised release is that you can't refuse to allow them to search you.Aug 11 21:12
DaemonFC[m]And anything they uncover when they do is admissible in court, whether they were specifically looking for that or not.Aug 11 21:12

scientesbut that's only while the money flowsAug 11 21:13
XRevan86scientes: You must've seen them, schestowitz posted it numerous times.Aug 11 21:13
DaemonFC[m]If I don't give them any reason to suspect me, it only creates more work for them to come out here to bother me.Aug 11 21:13
DaemonFC[m]That means that I must never miss a check-in, must never be in trouble with the police/government for any reason, and must never fail a drug/alcohol screening.Aug 11 21:13
DaemonFC[m]Provided I do all that, I don't think that they'll bother me too much.Aug 11 21:14
scientesheh https://img1.etsystatic.com/201/0/8504900/il_570xN.1337053641_5dv6.jpgAug 11 21:14
DaemonFC[m]I've been on probation before and they didn't even bother to drug screen me, although they could have at any time.Aug 11 21:14
XRevan86scientes: Not this one.Aug 11 21:14
scientesthis one https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DNCHPOQWkAUbY8R.jpgAug 11 21:14
XRevan86yes :)Aug 11 21:14
scientesbut i found the other one while looking, and it was funnyAug 11 21:14
DaemonFC[m]The short version of this is definitely don't drink and don't use drugs while they're watching you. Most people figure they'll get away with it, and they're wrong.Aug 11 21:15
DaemonFC[m]A lot of people on probation literally go drinking in a bar sitting next to the probation department.Aug 11 21:15
DaemonFC[m]I mean, people are dumb.Aug 11 21:15
XRevan86scientes: There'a a lot of this kind of humour in Russian patriot circles.Aug 11 21:15
scientesDaemonFC[m], you can still drink unless the judge specifically said you can'tAug 11 21:15
scientesXRevan86, for a while it was all over Reddit (which I don't use anymore)Aug 11 21:16
scientesI think its because they were paid to post that type of stuffAug 11 21:16
DaemonFC[m]The probation officer said I couldn't, but my probation forms say that I can drink unless the box saying I can't is checked, and it isn't checked.Aug 11 21:16
DaemonFC[m]They did prohibit me from having a firearm.Aug 11 21:16
XRevan86scientes: In Russia it's just playing toughAug 11 21:17
DaemonFC[m]Which is against the constitution, but then again, when has the government ever felt obligated by something as small as the constitution?Aug 11 21:17
XRevan86"They think we meddled? We meddled! YEAAAH"Aug 11 21:17
DaemonFC[m]If the government does pretend to be obligated by the constitution, it finds ways to work around the constitution.Aug 11 21:17

DaemonFC[m]Like getting some court to reinterpret the constitution in such a way that it means something that it doesn't.Aug 11 21:17
scientesDaemonFC[m], so is Eldred v. AshcroftAug 11 21:17
scientesand that is the actual constitutionAug 11 21:18
scientesnot that flibby-flabby after-though that was tagged on laterAug 11 21:18

scientesof course that could just mean they are horrible at counting non-firefighter deathsAug 11 21:31
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: The idea is that since you agreed to go on supervision, you agreed to waive your constitutional rights to refuse a search to get out of jail time.Aug 11 21:33
DaemonFC[m]Which is a form of coercion, but that doesn't mean anything to these people.Aug 11 21:33
MinceRthe state is all about coercion, all the timeAug 11 21:33
DaemonFC[m]I also had to waive my presumption of innocence, right to trial, and other things.Aug 11 21:33

MinceRnation states suck especiallyAug 11 21:34
DaemonFC[m]The "or else" part is "We proceed to trial and let the state make up what actually happened and then we punish you more severely for making us put you in a kangaroo court.".Aug 11 21:35
MinceRthey take coercion, this whole "social contract" scam, and put nationalism on topAug 11 21:35
MinceRpeople claim the state works, so i'd like to know which one doesAug 11 21:35
DaemonFC[m]Trial doesn't mean a hell of a lot. Theoretically, they make the state prove to like 95% certainty, that there was no other reasonable explanation of what happened.Aug 11 21:35
MinceRcertainly not any of the EU/EEA/EFTA members, nor the USA, nor any of the dictatorshipsAug 11 21:36
DaemonFC[m]Which is probably why 99% of bench trials in some Illinois counties end with a conviction.Aug 11 21:36
DaemonFC[m]These are truly the statistics you'd expect out of Russia and China.Aug 11 21:36
scientesMinceR, well duh, psychiatrists are sham doctors, everyone knows that except those paid to not know thatAug 11 21:36
scientesand my grand-father was a psychiatrist heheAug 11 21:37
DaemonFC[m]Out of 67 bench trials one month in St. Claire County, 66 ended in convictions.Aug 11 21:37
DaemonFC[m]The judge doesn't seem to be entertaining the idea that innocence is possible. Aug 11 21:37
DaemonFC[m]I'm sure that with stats like that, any competent attorney there would demand a jury.Aug 11 21:37
scientesactually, its more just like most doctors are out to steal from youAug 11 21:37
DaemonFC[m]You could hardly do worse than trial by judge with numbers like that.Aug 11 21:37
scientesits hard to get a real doctorAug 11 21:37
DaemonFC[m]The system is obviously railroading criminal defendants in Illinois through sham proceedings designed to send them to prison, or whatever else the state wants to do with them.Aug 11 21:38
DaemonFC[m]Which means that it would be wise to avoid all contact with the police, just to be sure, if at all possible.Aug 11 21:38
MinceRand in prison, they can work for the cronies of the stateAug 11 21:39
scientesmembers of the police also rarely have friends that are not policeAug 11 21:39
DaemonFC[m]The only hope you do have if you are accused of something is to make your confession as valuable to the prosecutor as possible in order to get the charges reduced to something less horrible. Aug 11 21:39
scientesso they become a military cast that is capable of overturning the government, but incapable of doing anything sensibleAug 11 21:40
DaemonFC[m]Probation officers are pretty awful to deal with, in general, but you can make your sentence far easier by just telling them what they want to hear and nothing more.Aug 11 21:40
DaemonFC[m]It's best to assume that if you start talking about details of your life that are not in a short reply to the question they asked, that they're going to create a bigger problem for you.Aug 11 21:41
