[00:02]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3], USCIS's new fee schedule charges more if you want to paper file petitions.
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	They've laid off everyone at the California Service Center (400 people) and half the Vermont Service Center (75 layoffs so far.)
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	It really leans on you to e-file.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	The e-file program does not work properly in Firefox.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	The federal government say they support Firefox but even that's starting to go.
[00:05]	MinceR	no problem, mozilla will simply replace firecocks with a chromium fork and claim they had to, otherwise nobody would use firecocks anymore :>
[00:14]	IsambardPrince	The feds managed to hide the layoffs because they were contractors.
[00:14]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3], ^
[00:14]	IsambardPrince	USCIS has been having serious budget problems in the last 4 years.
[00:15]	IsambardPrince	They're supposed to get money from user fees, but Bonehead Biden has been letting Maduro dump his public masturbators and murderers out on us.
[00:15]	IsambardPrince	And not charging them any asylum processing fees.

[02:05]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3], I don't know how it works in the UK, but the police in the US have no duty to protect the public.
[02:05]	IsambardPrince	The Supreme Court has said it several times.
[02:05]	IsambardPrince	This leads to things like cops watching people getting stabbed to death right in front of them on the commuter train, or playing on their phones in school hallways while the children are screaming and being shot around the corner.
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	So people start carrying guns because nobody trusts the police.
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	The only job of the police is to protect the state.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	When you carry, you're basically taking responsibility for your own safety rather than placing trust in a system that admits it won't protect you.
[02:09]	MinceR	how wonderful

[05:35]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3], Tech is pretty much dead.
[05:35]	Righty	Free tech is very much alive and kicking.
[05:35]	Righty	Proprietary tech is indeed dead.
[05:36]	IsambardPrince	Not so much.
[05:36]	IsambardPrince	I noticed that my Chromebook is Linux-ey but it actually works in ways that were just always so frustrating on actual Linux, some of which were the fault of people who capitulated to Microsoft.
[05:37]	IsambardPrince	And others because of UEFI aside from "Secure" Boot, it's just buggy and gross and terrible.
[05:37]	Righty	Chromebook runs Gentoo GNU/Linux, except with a GUI designed to stop you from doing anything but running chrome.
[05:37]	IsambardPrince	But also, there's a lot of Linux distributions out there where nobody really sands off the rough edges.
[05:37]	IsambardPrince	I just got tired of maintaining that.
[05:37]	Righty	You seem to be confusing a GNU feel with Linux.
[05:37]	IsambardPrince	So once you bludgeon Windows and get it to boot on shitty PC firmware, what do you have?
[05:38]	Righty	With a free GNU/Linux-libre distro, freedom.
[05:38]	IsambardPrince	Sound problems. Microphone problems. Video driver problems. Bugs in window managers nobody fixes.
[05:38]	Righty	Try not using garbage hardware.
[05:38]	IsambardPrince	You know, the HP Chromebook firmware seems to work fine, because it's not UEFI.
[05:38]	Righty	Sound and video cards just work on my machine, without any proprietary software.
[05:38]	IsambardPrince	Google dictated that it wouldn't use UEFI, and so the firmware is pretty good.
[05:39]	Righty	Chromebook's use u-boot as their bootloader software if i remember correctly.
[05:39]	IsambardPrince	They use a customized Coreboot.
[05:39]	Righty	Reminder that referring to software that lacks any firmness as "firmware" confuses the hell out of people.
[05:39]	IsambardPrince	There's a special payload or something that's not BIOS or UEFI.
[05:40]	IsambardPrince	This model supports SeaBIOS and Tianocore though.
[05:40]	IsambardPrince	If I ever convert it to run Linux I'll use SeaBIOS.
[05:40]	Righty	You can have whatever as a coreboot payload - you can execute Linux directly, but why would you do that when you can have a GRUB payload?
[05:40]	IsambardPrince	BIOS interfaces are so much less awful than UEFI.
[05:40]	Righty	It already runs that kernel, thus I don't see what "conversion" that would be/
[05:40]	Righty	You could convert it to run proper GNU mind you.
[05:40]	IsambardPrince	They're antiquated, but they work.
[05:40]	IsambardPrince	Without destroying the computer.
[05:40]	IsambardPrince	So there's this.
[05:41]	Righty	Intel chromebooks tend to ship garbage sound cards that just don't work btw.
[05:41]	IsambardPrince	In all the worst ways, UEFI continues PC BIOS.
[05:41]	IsambardPrince	All the crap like ACPI, it just carries right over.
[05:41]	IsambardPrince	So it's all of that and worse.
[05:41]	Righty	Intel won't tell you to correct proprietary program to load for the sound card either.
[05:42]	IsambardPrince	The Bluetooth issues I was having under most Linux distros don't happen on my Chromebook.
[05:42]	IsambardPrince	Maybe it doesn't use Pulseaudio.
[05:42]	IsambardPrince	Maybe Google designed something that works.
[05:42]	Righty	Bluetooth is always broken no matter the kernel or OS you use.
[05:42]	Righty	I use wires to get a superior experience.
[05:43]	IsambardPrince	My peripherals are all Bluetooth 5.x now.
[05:43]	Righty	Sorry for your loss.
[05:43]	IsambardPrince	And I'm using Google Pixel Buds Pro. 
[05:43]	IsambardPrince	The sound quality is actually pretty good.
[05:43]	Righty	>Earbuds that run proprietary software.

[06:02]	schestowitz[TR3]	<IsambardPrince> schestowitz[TR3], Tech is pretty much dead.
[06:02]	schestowitz[TR3]	why?
[06:02]	schestowitz[TR3]	my alarm clock works ok
[06:02]	schestowitz[TR3]	after almost 30 years
[06:02]	schestowitz[TR3]	radio (am and fm) still kicking
[06:02]	schestowitz[TR3]	no drm
[06:02]	schestowitz[TR3]	just modulated signal
[06:04]	schestowitz[TR3]	but  eventually they will die
[06:04]	schestowitz[TR3]	maybe you will, too
[06:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	laptops with optical drives, headphones slop, ethernet etc will be hard to find
[06:07]	IsambardPrince	The world is getting worse by the minute.
[06:07]	Righty	Why would you use anything but a GNUbooted thinkpad? Optical drive if you want, 2 3.5mm ports and 1000BASE;T
[06:07]	Righty	*1000BASE-T
[06:07]	IsambardPrince	So death would almost be a relief.
[06:07]	IsambardPrince	In about 2-3 years at this rate it will be too expensive to even afford an apartment anywhere.
[06:12]	IsambardPrince	Their goal seems to be to ensure that nobody has anything left to lose and more of them just give up and shoot someone, like what happened in New York.
[06:12]	IsambardPrince	If nobody gets this under control, that's what will become normal.
[06:15]	IsambardPrince	This is why Canada banned guns.
[06:15]	IsambardPrince	It costs 8.5 times the average household income in San Francisco to buy a house, that's bad for the US.
[06:15]	IsambardPrince	But in Vancouver and Toronto, it's over 12.5.
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	So if Trudeau didn't take away the guns, bad things would happen to bad people.
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	Now they don't have to look over their shoulder.
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	Anyway, the Illinois Assault Weapons Ban, which just got struck down (but the state is appealing that) is for the same reason.
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	When an apartment in Chicago that was $550 in 2016 is $1700 a month now.
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	They worry.
[06:18]	IsambardPrince	Lots of evictions.
[06:18]	IsambardPrince	Many have guns.
[06:18]	IsambardPrince	Some of them will remember where their landlord, or the judge, lives.
[06:18]	IsambardPrince	So they want to take the guns.
[06:19]	IsambardPrince	It's going to turn into a war when they try to impose the slums of Mumbai on enough Americans in a few years.

[09:05]	IsambardPrince	"Rebecca Lewis, a 27-year-old Ohioan, has confronted this problem for as long as she has been a psychiatric patient. At 24, she began experiencing auditory hallucinations of people calling her name, followed by delusional beliefs about mythological creatures. While these experiences felt very real to her, she nevertheless knew something was off.
[09:05]	IsambardPrince	Not knowing where to turn, Lewis called a crisis line, which told her to go to an evaluation center in Columbus. When she drove herself there, she found an ambulance waiting for her. They told me to get into the ambulance, she said, and they said it would be worse if I ran.
[09:05]	IsambardPrince	Lewis, who was ultimately diagnosed with schizophrenia, was hospitalized for two days against her will. She refused to sign paperwork acknowledging responsibility for charges. The hospital attempted to obtain her mothers credit card, which Lewis had been given in case of emergencies, but she refused to hand it over. She later got a $1,700 bill in the mail. She did not contact the hospital to negotiate the bill because, she said
[09:06]	IsambardPrince	, I did not have the emotional energy to return to that battle.
[09:06]	IsambardPrince	To this day, Lewis gets debt collection calls and letters. When she picks up the calls, she explains she has no intention of paying because the services were forced on her. Her credit is damaged, but she considers herself lucky because she was able to buy a house from a family member, given how challenging it would have been to secure a mortgage."

[16:28]	schestowitz[TR3]	Its the old joke How do you make a small fortune in IT? Start with a big one! Kyndryl is doing exactly what IBM did to them. Exiting accounts they should have never bid on as commodity labor was/is the defining decision point. You are not adding value, but rather just providing labor. As such Kyndryl will shrink, while attempting to move upscale (eg add value to their commodity labor). Will they succeed? Most likely yes where t
[16:28]	schestowitz[TR3]	hey invest in value added skills, BUT they are certainly going to shrink given current course and speed. I view Kyndryl very much like an IBM Lab services off shoot. Yes their skill set is needed, but their value added skill set is not growing near as fast as the commodity labor contracts are expiring. Where will Kyndryl settle out? Most likely in the 60% range of where they were spun off. So 19.5 billion x .6 = 11.7 billion plus 
[16:28]	schestowitz[TR3]	3% growth over 3 years in new value add = plus 1 billion for a total of 13 billion. The equates to approx 60k worth of employees with 5k being on shore in NA.

[16:37]	TR News	9/11 presented similar questions: how can large financial centres be attacked at such a large scale (with so many people aware and involved)? Second: how can it be explained those who did this were reasonably well educated and from rich families?
[16:39]	TR News	The simplest answer: 1) stupid people cannot pull this off. 2) stupid people don't recognise how bad the world's problems are, they're far too busy working hard. 3) as seen with serial killers (i.e. people who successfully get away with murder many times), the cops aren't too clever

[21:53]	schestowitz[TR3]	So, benching is the start of the process, and also the name of the specific way Kyndryl is doing it.
