DaemonFC[m]I got my old FOID card while I was on bail.May 12 00:00
MinceRgovernments rule by violence because the state is a criminal organizationMay 12 00:00
DaemonFC[m]Buying a gun would have meant they confiscated  the gun as well as the $10 FOID card.May 12 00:00
schestowitzhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_FreislerMay 12 00:00
DaemonFC[m]So I figured that I'd just give them the FOID and get a new one in 12 months.May 12 00:00

DaemonFC[m]MinceR: The EFFECT of Illinois disarming lawful citizens is that when the federal government comes in with soldiers someday to force the state to do as it demands, there is no armed public that will resist.May 12 00:01
DaemonFC[m]The state will collapse and be occupied within a day..May 12 00:02
DaemonFC[m]This administration in Washington is so menacing that it threatens the safety of the state and the state is too fucking stupid to realize that all of the criminals in Chicago with machine guns are the only thing resembling a militia, and that their stupid laws haven't even slowed them down.May 12 00:03
DaemonFC[m]Now some of them are trying to amend FOID to be even worse.May 12 00:04
DaemonFC[m]They want to increase the fee to $100, add more disqualifying minor crimes, and have the State Police check your social media accounts.May 12 00:04
DaemonFC[m]For what, nobody will say..May 12 00:04
DaemonFC[m]Oh yeah, and they want to go from 10 year FOID cards to 5 year, so it really makes the 10 year fee $200 instead of 10.May 12 00:05
DaemonFC[m]And state police will go over your Facebook and Twitter and shit every time you renew it.May 12 00:05
DaemonFC[m]I support mandatory background checks at every sale, which is currently something you have to do in every state with or without FOID.May 12 00:05
DaemonFC[m]I also support mandatory reporting of a stolen gun within a reasonable time period (72 hours).May 12 00:06
DaemonFC[m]FOID is insane.May 12 00:06
DaemonFC[m]It makes you beg the state for a right you have under the constitution of the United States, and the state's own constitution.May 12 00:06
DaemonFC[m]Neither of which say anything at all about FOID cards.May 12 00:06
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: It's such a bad law that almost half the district attorneys in the state say that they will not pursue any FOID cases the police bring to them.May 12 00:07
DaemonFC[m]Prosecutorial Discretion. May 12 00:07
DaemonFC[m]They can refuse to pursue a criminal charge against someone for any reason they want, or no reason.May 12 00:08
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: The prosecutor was trying to strongarm me during my plea deal.May 12 00:08
MinceR:>May 12 00:09
DaemonFC[m]I said, "I will walk out of this room and take my chances if you don't get rid of Count 1 entirely and convert Count 2 to a Class C Misdemeanor of Disorderly Conduct. This is my offer, and it's the first, last, and only one unless you want to tie up several days and risk losing.".May 12 00:09
DaemonFC[m]I turned around to my lawyer and said "I paid him a flat fee. It's not like you get to drag this out until I'm too broke to maintain a defense.".May 12 00:09

DaemonFC[m]He was trying to offer me Assault. I said, "Nuh uh. I can get my FOID card again in a year with Disorderly. If it says Assault on there I have to wait 5 years.".May 12 00:10
DaemonFC[m]"You can punish me with 4 months of supervised probation and 8 months of unsupervised either way because they're both Class C misdemeanors. It's just an argument over what we're calling it at this point.".May 12 00:11

kingoffrancewell that was said to be an old flaw of cheap burner cricket phones: you could pay $15 or so, exploit it, and make 10-15 calls per second or so ---- basically "call bomb" someone you didnt like, DOS  (DDOS if you get multiple burner phones);    with "pay as you go" you really only have to worry about wearing a hooded jacket when you go into 7-11 or wherever   ;    email bombing is perhaps even a good sign i.e. that they finally May 12 06:15
kingoffrance"secured" the phone networks (but left something else wide open)May 12 06:15
kingoffrancethe guy who suggested this exploit noted IIRC "there is no legitimate reason for anyone (*businesses*) to make 15/calls per second, let alone some consumer phone" ... it was just wide open if you found an exploit to run your custom sw and do suchMay 12 06:16
kingoffrance"pay as you go" meaning you didnt need a "contract" you could purchase prepaid "minutes" ahead of time, pseudo-"anonymously"May 12 06:17
kingoffrancethat was supposedly how the cell phone networks were 10-15 years ago ...it all relied on you not breaking the software to do "bad things"May 12 06:18

schestowitzhmmm... plan BMay 12 07:43
schestowitzmaybe I can temporarily force the cursor onto another screen, externalMay 12 07:43
schestowitzoh, wait, I think I know what I can doMay 12 07:43
schestowitzI'll add a sleep command and then manually move to another monitorMay 12 07:43
schestowitzI think that might do (prevent mouse actions on current machine)May 12 07:44

kingoffrancehmm, i know there are macro-type commands to do things like  x<forget the name> pointer +20 +30   # move 20 right, 30 up, dont recall coordinate system it usesMay 12 07:49
kingoffrancebut i dont recall if those have a "disable" commandMay 12 07:49
schestowitzYes, it lacks thatMay 12 07:51
schestowitzI know most commands of thatMay 12 07:51
kingoffranceon e.g. freebsd because i think sometimes it uses a moused daemon (name might be wrong) you could probably just kill the daemon i suppose;   the daemon itself i think creates /dev/mouse  or whatever, but i dont know if e.g. X would notice it "reappearing" automatically   ;   i dont know linux input devices, sorryMay 12 07:51
schestowitzi'll keep searchinfMay 12 07:51
schestowitzmost people just write about "oh no, my mouse keep freezing!"May 12 07:51
kingoffrancesurely there is an abstraction layer in hal or dbus something, maybe some way to send commands to it?May 12 07:52
schestowitzfor me that would be the desirable behvaiour, when  I at least ask for that to jappenMay 12 07:52

schestowitzso I don't have to get all paranoid about moving the mouse a pixel or two when I try to aim at one single thingMay 12 07:53
