| DaemonFC | There's actually two different thresholds. One for $35 tickets and one for $150. Obviously, they want to send out more $150, but the $35 ones are useful too. | Aug 14 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| activelow | wouldn't it be easist to avoid fines to comply with speed limit? | Aug 14 00:00 |
| DaemonFC | They're a nuisance and not worth spending all day going downtown to fight about it when 4 out of 5 times you lose. | Aug 14 00:00 |
| DaemonFC | <activelow> wouldn't it be easist to avoid fines to comply with speed limit? | Aug 14 00:00 |
| DaemonFC | The cameras went in because the company behind them, Redflex, was bribing the decision makers in the city government. | Aug 14 00:01 |
| DaemonFC | Some people went to prison over that iirc. | Aug 14 00:01 |
| activelow | for installing speed meters? | Aug 14 00:01 |
| DaemonFC | Mayor Lightfoot promised during her campaign that she would end the camera bootings and stop going after people's licenses for not paying the tickets, because the program was "inherently racist". | Aug 14 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | Then she turned around and ramped up the program instead once she was in. | Aug 14 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | It turned into a major revenue source for the city, even though most of the cameras are in places where safety isn't an issue. | Aug 14 00:03 |
| activelow | no need to comment on that, but a speed meter measures the velocity of a car, not the genome sequence | Aug 14 00:03 |
| DaemonFC | Including one that's between two cemeteries which both have 12 foot walls around them. | Aug 14 00:03 |
| DaemonFC | Then there's the red light cameras. | Aug 14 00:03 |
| MinceR | well, she did turn out to be racist | Aug 14 00:03 |
| DaemonFC | The city took 25% of the yellow time away to issue more tickets, and now there are 11% more accidents at those intersections. | Aug 14 00:03 |
| MinceR | so it makes sense that she would want an "inherently racist" program to continue :> | Aug 14 00:03 |
| activelow | does the yellow time reduction prevent a safe full stop, when cars do not exceed speed limit? | Aug 14 00:04 |
| activelow | this can be measured and quantified too, without genome sequencing involved of cause: reaction time, time to break and distance passed at maximum and minimum speeds etc. | Aug 14 00:06 |
| *alextee has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Aug 14 00:08 | |
| activelow | in cities, often, even when maximum 30Km/h are permitted only, those 30Km/h are too fast in various places | Aug 14 00:10 |
| activelow | and i had noticed, since i am living in a city, even 30Km/h max do not prevent speeding. many idiots go full throttle from 0 to 30Km/h every few meters with a full stop at the next crossroad | Aug 14 00:11 |
| activelow | most of the time i cannot open the window, even during night time 4o'clock in the morning, i counted 4 speeders in 30 minutes, with their noise, and air pollution | Aug 14 00:12 |

| XRevan86 | MinceR: Ah, that it's not "паркуйтесь"? | Aug 14 02:26 |
| MinceR | yeah | Aug 14 02:27 |
| XRevan86 | True, it uses personal language, that's indeed pretty unofficial-looking. | Aug 14 02:27 |

| *Noisytoot has quit (Quit: ZNC 1.8.2 - https://znc.in) | Aug 14 02:44 | |

| XRevan86 | CrystalMath: not "correctly" but "under rules" | Aug 14 02:56 |

| XRevan86 | Where does IRC.com end and freenode, where does freenode end and Joseon begin? | Aug 14 03:05 |

| XRevan86 | yes | Aug 14 03:06 |

| MinceR | and what does _that_ mean? | Aug 14 03:07 |
| CrystalMath | and... freenode is also official territory of the joseon empire | Aug 14 03:07 |

| activelow | schestowitz-TR: checked it a moment ago, albania is a seperate language realm again it seems, not unrelated to bulgaria, greece or any other | Aug 14 09:29 |
| activelow | the macedonian speakers could federate and coordinate with bulgaria to represent their interests in EU. similar to what german *federal* states do, unify to represent common interests instead of posing as individual national entities of Bavaria or Saxony and the others (except Austria). | Aug 14 09:31 |
| activelow | 60% of the albanian vocabulary is latin origin, so maybe albania could coordinate with romania as a somehwat related language realm? | Aug 14 09:41 |
| activelow | then the representation could be bulgaria+macedonian and romanian+albanian as federated democratric entities based on common language roots, instead of some duchy kingdoms and balkan family clans overrerepresented 10000:1 | Aug 14 09:44 |
| activelow | this is a fundemental issue. in principle legal and business entities must correctly identify beforehand any further legal proceeding can be discussed. instead of declaring a kingdom of schestowitz with inhabitants of techrights nation claming representation at EPO as a nation state | Aug 14 09:49 |

| activelow | i think the issue is the incorrect identification of "north macedonia" as a nation state, instead of a federal entity of it's association to Romania and Bulgaria | Aug 14 10:34 |
| activelow | although north macodenia is a distinct federal entity, it should not misrepresent as an indpendent nation state at the EPO | Aug 14 10:36 |
| activelow | instead, north macedonia should federate with it's associates, similar to what "free states" of saxony and bavaria do as the "federal republic of deutschland | Aug 14 10:37 |
| activelow | " | Aug 14 10:37 |
| activelow | the "free state of saxony" does not claim national authority and representation at the EPO with an ilegitimate overrepresentation | Aug 14 10:38 |
| activelow | and the "free state of saxony" with a particular german language dialect has twice as many inhabitants as north macedonia, and doesn't claim national authority at the EPO | Aug 14 10:39 |
| activelow | schestowitz: this is the key to understanding, that north-macedonia seems to follow medieval age tradition of duchy-kingdoms instead of modern democratic federal nation states, but claims democratic representation nonetheless | Aug 14 10:41 |
| activelow | if north macedonia insists on democratic representation then it should do so as the "free state of saxony" does, as a federated member with it's allies: bulgaria and romania | Aug 14 10:41 |
| activelow | while saxony is federated with Germany | Aug 14 10:42 |
| activelow | and, if north macedonia does not correctly identify as legal entity of a federated region then it's representation at EPO itself is ilegitimate | Aug 14 10:44 |
| activelow | "free state of saxony" does not declare "independence" either for it's vote 16x times as heavy as it would as a federated member of Deutschland | Aug 14 10:45 |
| activelow | if EPO cannot at least recognise the legal principle of the correct identification of legal subjects, then it's entire organization is structurally corrupted | Aug 14 10:47 |

| DaemonFC | activelow, I have no idea what to tell you. Most people who have had a few dealings with the police or the courts don't even want to approach them whem they're the victim of a crime. | Aug 14 11:15 |
| DaemonFC | You may think you're in there telling them all about this horrible thing that happened to you, and they're in there writing down a false narrative that flips it around on you. | Aug 14 11:16 |
| DaemonFC | They do whatever they feel like doing, so it's not safe to have any dealings with them. | Aug 14 11:16 |
| activelow | yes, and i got documented evidence now, signed by a "german" judge | Aug 14 11:16 |
| DaemonFC | That Breaking Bad episode where Walt was trying to negotiate with the neo-Nazi gang to spare Hank's life? | Aug 14 11:17 |
| DaemonFC | Hank refuses to beg and turns to Walt and says, "You're the smartest guy I know, and you're too dumb to see. They made up their mind five minutes ago.". | Aug 14 11:17 |
| DaemonFC | That's how the police operate. Like the neo-Nazi gang in that scene. | Aug 14 11:18 |
| DaemonFC | They have their mind made up early on and they don't say anything and they keep listening in case you say anything that they're interested in. | Aug 14 11:18 |
| DaemonFC | But wherever this is heading, that's where it's going fairly early on. | Aug 14 11:18 |
| DaemonFC | You're not going to talk your way out of it. | Aug 14 11:19 |
| DaemonFC | And they'll put at least the damaging parts down in their little report. Leaving out anything you said that may help you. Maybe lying to make their case stronger. | Aug 14 11:19 |
| DaemonFC | Dealing with them doesn't help you. All you can really do is not draw attention and hope they're so busy being a pox on somebody else that you're not worth their time. | Aug 14 11:20 |
| DaemonFC | The mechanism of the state is that they worry about their own power, protecting the strong from the weak, and being mean to people who can't do much about it, mostly randomly. | Aug 14 11:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | resonates... | Aug 14 11:22 |
| DaemonFC | That third part has a purpose too. If they can keep people afraid, that's good for them. | Aug 14 11:22 |
| DaemonFC | The civil court proceedings are interesting. It always benefits lawyers. | Aug 14 11:23 |
| DaemonFC | Overall, it benefits lawyers no matter how it goes in there. You win, they win, overall, the lawyers win out over everyone. | Aug 14 11:23 |
| DaemonFC | Take a divorce case. Both people get a lawyer. | Aug 14 11:24 |
| DaemonFC | Even if one person makes off with 2/3rds of the marital estate, both the lawyers still get paid. | Aug 14 11:24 |
| activelow | I'll not proceed at this court or with any lawyer | Aug 14 11:24 |
| DaemonFC | What do they care who "wins"? | Aug 14 11:24 |
| activelow | if facts and evidence are not recognised, and basic legal principles ignored then it is futile | Aug 14 11:24 |
| DaemonFC | That's how my mom and dad got divorced. | Aug 14 11:24 |
| activelow | DaemonFC: well, i explained too i cannot conduct legal business anymore, without an "legal security" | Aug 14 11:25 |
| activelow | any | Aug 14 11:25 |
| DaemonFC | They were paying lawyers $500 an hour to stand there and argue for 3 hours over who got a dining room set that could have been replaced for under $800. | Aug 14 11:25 |
| activelow | i asked for a correct invoice to pay | Aug 14 11:25 |
| activelow | this didn't require any lawyer or court | Aug 14 11:25 |
| DaemonFC | The lawyers walk off with $3,000 over an $800 dining room set just so my mom and dad could argue bitterly in front of a judge about it. | Aug 14 11:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I see... | Aug 14 11:26 |
| DaemonFC | Lawyers love marriage. The more marriage, the more divorce. The more divorce, the more irrational clients they have who hate each other so much at that point that they'll spend any amount of money trying to screw the other one a little harder. | Aug 14 11:27 |
| DaemonFC | In the last divorce, mom threw her attorney's fees into her bankruptcy and her ex-husband just didn't pay his and had one more person suing him and then standing in line to dock his paychecks. | Aug 14 11:28 |
| DaemonFC | Lawyers operate like some kind of criminal. "Oh half up front and half later.". | Aug 14 11:29 |
| DaemonFC | Well, she paid the half up front part. | Aug 14 11:29 |

| *inky has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) | Aug 14 11:30 | |

| *inky_ (~inky@5.77.162.157) has joined #techrights | Aug 14 11:31 | |
| DaemonFC | About 7-8 hours of actual court time and responding back and forth to some letters and drawing up a complaint. | Aug 14 11:31 |
| DaemonFC | $5,000 up front, $5,000 later. Why not? | Aug 14 11:31 |
| DaemonFC | These lawyers are onto something "Gray Divorce" is a phenomenon now. Demand for lawyers is red hot. The nest is empty and these people who have hated each other for decades but left it simmering on the back burner are splitting up. | Aug 14 11:32 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, In theory, when you hire a lawyer, there's a bar that imposes ethical requirements on them, alongside the court, to require them to represent your side of things as well as possible and to avoid conflicts of interest. | Aug 14 11:33 |
| DaemonFC | In fact, you rarely hear of a lawyer being disciplined, much less disbarred. | Aug 14 11:34 |
| DaemonFC | Maybe 1-2% of them will be over the course of a career, which is pretty low for a profession that's up there with used car salesman. | Aug 14 11:34 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, The cops came out to a house in Huntington, Indiana a few days ago. | Aug 14 11:36 |
| DaemonFC | They had to call in a SWAT team from Fort Wayne, complete with the tank. | Aug 14 11:36 |
| DaemonFC | The guy ended up shooting himself in the head (died on the scene). | Aug 14 11:36 |
| DaemonFC | Turns out that all they wanted him on was failure to pay child support. In Indiana that can be a low level felony now. There's more felonies there than there were before the Republicans solidified their control over the government. They made corrupt deals with private prison companies to maintain higher prison occupancy rates. | Aug 14 11:37 |
| DaemonFC | Anyway, even though it was a felony, it was the lowest level, so he could have pleaded down to a misdemeanor of some sort and at that point they don't want you that bad because they'll have to stick you in a county jail largely at their expense. | Aug 14 11:38 |
| DaemonFC | Anyway, the pro-life party reformed the code, and a man committed suicide over failure to pay support. They'll probably be getting a lot of money out of him now. | Aug 14 11:39 |
| DaemonFC | Putting men in jail for failure to pay support was always stupid. | Aug 14 11:39 |
| DaemonFC | They always had other options like putting a lien on your property, garnishing wages, and intercepting tax returns. | Aug 14 11:40 |
| DaemonFC | If it piles up so high that you still owe when you draw Social Security, they can take that too. | Aug 14 11:40 |
| DaemonFC | One of the reasons I said "I'm glad I'll never have kids." is that it puts a fascist out of control police state in control of one more major part of your life. | Aug 14 11:41 |
| DaemonFC | It's just not worth it. | Aug 14 11:41 |
| DaemonFC | Not only do you need to find a million dollars laying around somewhere (growing on trees, maybe), but if you screw up, you'll have everything from police to judges to social workers crawling out the wazoo. Not worth it. | Aug 14 11:42 |
| DaemonFC | And I think people are seeing that now. (Lowest population growth in America since the Depression.). | Aug 14 11:42 |
| DaemonFC | Sometimes they release the army of darkness on you because you let your child walk the dog in the front lawn. | Aug 14 11:43 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, who needs that when you can't even find child care while you're at work, or afford it? | Aug 14 11:43 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Biden administration launches plans to combat inflation | WANE 15 | Aug 14 11:45 | |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, So inflation is officially a "problem" now. | Aug 14 11:45 |
| DaemonFC | 5.4%. I don't know who they think they're fooling. | Aug 14 11:49 |
| DaemonFC | The price to eat at the Chinese restaurant is up over 25% in the course of a year. | Aug 14 11:50 |
| DaemonFC | That's easy to keep track of because everyone who goes to eat at a buffet pays the same price. | Aug 14 11:50 |
| activelow | DaemonFC: i kept record of inflation since east-germay 1990 and meanwhile two currency swaps in germany: prices for a bun increased 15x in 30years (more than ~1000%) inflation for a hotdog bun sized biscuit | Aug 14 11:56 |
| DaemonFC | Welp.... schestowitz-TR Today I Learned something new about Leona Helmsley, the "Queen of Mean". | Aug 14 11:57 |
| DaemonFC | She disinherited some of her family from the will and left it to her dog instead. | Aug 14 11:57 |
| DaemonFC | Which is something I figure my dad will do unless he leaves it all to Scientology or the guy who says a spaceship is coming for him and Jan. | Aug 14 11:57 |
| DaemonFC | But they successfully challenged the will because she was "not of sound mind" when she wrote it. | Aug 14 11:58 |
| DaemonFC | Maybe I should start taking screenshots of dad's Facebook wall. | Aug 14 11:58 |
| activelow | that's roughly 10% annually for 30years price increase of a bun, although east-german price structure was altered which makes it difficult to compare | Aug 14 11:59 |
| activelow | officially inflation is below 2% in germany | Aug 14 11:59 |
| DaemonFC | If the judge rules against me, I can always say, "Well, then nobody should get the money because they didn't die.". Judge: "What do you mean?". Me: "Well, in accordance with their beliefs, their spirits went on to live in a Dyson Sphere somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse." | Aug 14 12:00 |
| DaemonFC | And if the judge demands proof that they are on a Dyson Sphere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse, I can pull out the old chestnut that religious people always use. "Prove they aren't.". | Aug 14 12:04 |
| DaemonFC | You can't prove they aren't because you can't go around searching all of space for them, and it's unlikely that our technology ever would allow for it. Therefore I win. | Aug 14 12:05 |

| DaemonFC | There's a clumsy hack, which is to install NoScript and then allow JavaScript everywhere, but don't allow anything that's not a "trusted" site to play video, and make that the only restriction. | Aug 14 12:11 |

| DaemonFC | When I was a teenager and I was complaining about how slow it was to load image-heavy websites on my dial up connection, the lady down at the ISP recommended the Lynx browser. | Aug 14 12:19 |

| DaemonFC | When it was dial up, the big nuisance was jpegs that were bigger than the content. | Aug 14 12:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | now it's also js frameworks | Aug 14 12:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | even FONTS | Aug 14 12:20 |

| DaemonFC | If there's a disaster and people are badly injured and some are dying, and you have half as many doctors and paramedics as you need in order to respond to it, you figure out who will definitely live, who will definitely die, and focus your efforts on the cases that could go either way. | Aug 14 13:19 |

| DaemonFC | Well, many people have their landlord so pissed off at them over back rent that while he can't give them the boot now, he won't sign a new lease. | Aug 14 13:21 |
| schestowitz | whereas The US has tent cities and people living in their cars | Aug 14 13:21 |
| DaemonFC | So as soon as he can evict, he will evict. | Aug 14 13:21 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, many are people who could pay and just don't because they'd rather go to Disney and the lease being up for renewal in three months is all of 90 days from now. | Aug 14 13:22 |
| DaemonFC | The rent is probably going up $45 a month because that's how he's advertising them now. | Aug 14 13:22 |
| DaemonFC | We have to suffer because some asshole is spending all their money toking the reefer while the unpaid rent piles up. | Aug 14 13:23 |
| DaemonFC | It's amazing how they have unlimited money for flat screens and marijuana and nothing for rent. | Aug 14 13:23 |
| DaemonFC | Is it not? | Aug 14 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | DaemonFC: mind if we go back to tech? | Aug 14 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am trying to come up with article and video topics | Aug 14 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | this weekend's news will be slow | Aug 14 13:24 |
| DaemonFC | The state reports that marijuana sales are booming. | Aug 14 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok | Aug 14 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | whatever | Aug 14 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not our focus | Aug 14 13:24 |
| DaemonFC | The economy is shit, hyperinflation, but they're selling more dope than ever. | Aug 14 13:24 |
| DaemonFC | Dope is for dopes. | Aug 14 13:24 |
| DaemonFC | So it follows. | Aug 14 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | I worry a bit about war on cash | Aug 14 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | some places here would not accept cash anymore | Aug 14 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | I could, in theory, protest peacefully | Aug 14 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | with a banner | Aug 14 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | nothing police can do as long as I don't raise the voice | Aug 14 13:25 |
| DaemonFC | Some places here only accept cash, or charge you 4% more to use a credit card. | Aug 14 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | "public disturbance" | Aug 14 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | very vague new laws | Aug 14 13:25 |
| DaemonFC | Restaurants are quickly losing their patience with credit cards. | Aug 14 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | worse than "antisocial behaviour" | Aug 14 13:25 |
| DaemonFC | The fees to fund these rewards programs are really pissing them off. | Aug 14 13:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | interesting! | Aug 14 13:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | So in some places it's the exact opposite | Aug 14 13:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, here they use corona as an excuse | Aug 14 13:26 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, Well, that Mexican place, El Famous Burrito, is cash only. | Aug 14 13:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | but serve you food they prepare by hand | Aug 14 13:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | DaemonFC: that's good news | Aug 14 13:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I didn't know about such places | Aug 14 13:26 |
| techrights-news | ● NEWS ● #RaspberryPi #RasPi #GNU #Linux ☞ Summer at the Raspberry Pi Store with The Centre for Computing History https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-store-summer-2021/ | Aug 14 13:28 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.raspberrypi.org | Summer at the Raspberry Pi Store with The Centre for Computing History - Raspberry Pi | Aug 14 13:28 | |
| DaemonFC | They keep prices down by just accepting cash. No debit even, so no card readers at all. | Aug 14 13:29 |
| DaemonFC | There's an ATM there. | Aug 14 13:29 |
| DaemonFC | Many banks are now giving you a "ATM fee reimbursement" allowance each month. I think Ally was one of the first to do that. | Aug 14 13:29 |
| DaemonFC | Back when I shut all my accounts down at Wells Fargo and went online, Ally was doing unlimited fee reimbursement. | Aug 14 13:29 |
| DaemonFC | But now it's "up to $10 per statement cycle". They don't charge any, but others might. | Aug 14 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | So $10 gets you like 2-3 uses of most other ATMs, or you can use an AllPoint ATM or some others they have no fee agreements with. | Aug 14 13:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | we take thousands per year | Aug 14 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | I've parked a lot of our money in online savings or treasury bonds. | Aug 14 13:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | to avoid touching the ATMs or having their locations track us too much | Aug 14 13:31 |
| DaemonFC | With what's going on lately, not getting any interest at all is no longer acceptable. | Aug 14 13:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can ask for bigger sums inside the branches | Aug 14 13:31 |
| DaemonFC | Inflation has gone from a minor persistent nuisance to a major pain in the ass. | Aug 14 13:31 |
| DaemonFC | No savings product is going to beat inflation, but many at least slow it down a little. | Aug 14 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | yeah | Aug 14 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | got water bill today | Aug 14 13:32 |
| DaemonFC | Maybe things normalize somewhat soon. | Aug 14 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | up by a lot | Aug 14 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | like 20% | Aug 14 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | (partly because we don't go to the gym since May, so no showers away) | Aug 14 13:33 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, there's a lot of reasons our rent might go up. The landlord is dealing with bums who won't pay, the city likes to waste money because it's the government, so there goes your water bill through the roof. | Aug 14 13:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | inflation here affects also food | Aug 14 13:33 |
| DaemonFC | Inflation in general. He wants a certain real profit and has to raise rates because of that. | Aug 14 13:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | that can backfire | Aug 14 13:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, back to tech aspects | Aug 14 13:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I appreciate you said some places reject cards | Aug 14 13:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | and insist on cash | Aug 14 13:34 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, I got his repair guy in here to fix the leaky toilet tank. | Aug 14 13:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | that is actually very encouraging news | Aug 14 13:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need to rewards places like these | Aug 14 13:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | they hold away the bad tide | Aug 14 13:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | and you can tell them you choose them BECAUSE they accept bcash | Aug 14 13:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | or anonymous clients | Aug 14 13:35 |
| DaemonFC | Those waste a ton of water. I can't stand the government. It makes a killing off of leaky toilets because it spends almost no money delivering the water and then charges a fortune for it. | Aug 14 13:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | DaemonFC: you might be better off with a valve | Aug 14 13:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and shut it off when it is not used | Aug 14 13:35 |
| DaemonFC | You don't even know that your bill is accurate because "smart" meters can be buggy and there's no actual mechanical dial in there to prove what you used if you have to go to court. | Aug 14 13:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | would be cheaper than a plumber in the long run | Aug 14 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | DaemonFC: "smart" meters are for dumb people | Aug 14 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | who are tricked by threats | Aug 14 13:36 |
| *sepsinn (~sepsinn@c9nu4ummhfn7e.irc) has joined #techrights | Aug 14 13:36 | |
| schestowitz-TR | and fines | Aug 14 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | but we pay fines already | Aug 14 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | annual price hikes for not having one | Aug 14 13:36 |
| DaemonFC | Communist Edison gets Illinois to pass laws making them mandatory. | Aug 14 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | so if you phone they you protest | Aug 14 13:36 |
| DaemonFC | They say it "lowers carbon emissions and saves you money". | Aug 14 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they might eventually get the point that customers are pissed off | Aug 14 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | DaemonFC: what lowers carbon emissions? PRODUCING the gadget? | Aug 14 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | how does it save money? Whose? | Aug 14 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | the workers they lay offs | Aug 14 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | so no actual person checks the meter except you? | Aug 14 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | they also outsource things to "apps" and "sites" | Aug 14 13:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you become their employe | Aug 14 13:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | they give you some GUIs | Aug 14 13:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | it''s the same with "self" check-ouy | Aug 14 13:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | "be our staff" | Aug 14 13:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | avoid the longer queue | Aug 14 13:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | if he queue is long you ask ask, "why are so few people in the tills?"| | Aug 14 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | or, "you need to hire more staff" | Aug 14 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | people nearby who also stand in line can relate | Aug 14 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | they know why they avoid these machines | Aug 14 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | Aldi is starting to push people to "machines" now | Aug 14 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have psychological methods | Aug 14 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | "ARE YOU PAYING WITH CARD"? | Aug 14 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | "ARE YOU PAYING WITH CASH"? | Aug 14 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | they just try to get your attention and get you off the actual queue | Aug 14 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can reply tactfully | Aug 14 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | "I want actual service" | Aug 14 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | "You need more people at the tills" | Aug 14 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | something along those lines | Aug 14 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | it has more impact if you leave the items in protest and leave | Aug 14 13:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | only as a last resort | Aug 14 13:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | if they get rude about it | Aug 14 13:42 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, Those little portable washers only use a few dollars of electric per YEAR. | Aug 14 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | by spying? | Aug 14 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | they 'study' you | Aug 14 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | "for better experience" | Aug 14 13:52 |
| DaemonFC | Otherwise I have to use the landlords, which randomly bleach your clothes and then the dryer that leaves them soaking wet. | Aug 14 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is the old BS | Aug 14 13:52 |
| DaemonFC | Doesn't do anything except make you stand there all day putting quarters in it. | Aug 14 13:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | miniscule benefit to excuse gathering data on what people do in their homes | Aug 14 13:53 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-TR, The interesting bit here is I can mostly run this laptop off solar, at least during the day. | Aug 14 13:54 |
| DaemonFC | It can charge off either of the USB type C ports. | Aug 14 13:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | laptops don't take much power | Aug 14 13:54 |
| activelow | it is waste water treatment which is expensive, often, and not the fresh water supply | Aug 14 13:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | boilers do | Aug 14 13:54 |
| DaemonFC | Those cell phone solar chargers hook up to it and provide most of the power they need. | Aug 14 13:54 |
| DaemonFC | So at least during the day you can plug one in and it will dramatically boost your battery life. | Aug 14 13:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | activelow: they break it down to make it seem cheaper | Aug 14 13:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | to the client it does not matter | Aug 14 13:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't get to tell them how much to "take" of the water I use | Aug 14 13:57 |
| activelow | thinking about it: fresh water consumption can be measured relatively easy. what people dump into wastwater and sewage system isn't easily, uhm, quantified. | Aug 14 13:58 |
| DaemonFC | Lenovo laptops have a battery setting that only works in Windows afaik. | Aug 14 14:02 |
| DaemonFC | It only has it charge up to 65% when you have it plugged in. | Aug 14 14:02 |
| DaemonFC | You can flip that off in Vantage and let it fully charge. | Aug 14 14:03 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: this is a photo of you https://i.imgflip.com/4vqg8r.jpg | Aug 14 14:03 |
| DaemonFC | If you're going to wipe Windows and install Linux, you want to turn off this feature and make sure it's off and the battery can charge to 100 first, otherwise you won't be able to fix this from Linux later. | Aug 14 14:03 |
| DaemonFC | Supposedly, only letting the battery charge to 65 prolongs its service life. | Aug 14 14:04 |
| DaemonFC | Battery replacements are not cheap. | Aug 14 14:04 |
| DaemonFC | So it makes sense that if you can extend the usable life of the battery another year or two.... | Aug 14 14:04 |
| activelow | DaemonFC: almost forgot, checked german regulation for traffic light "yellow-phase" regulations | Aug 14 14:06 |
| DaemonFC | There should be 2.5 seconds according to the NHTSA, and Illinois has cut it to less than 1.5 to write more tickets. | Aug 14 14:07 |
| activelow | 70Km/h 5s, 60Km/h 4s, 50 Km/h 3s | Aug 14 14:07 |
| DaemonFC | Which has caused more accidents at those lights. | Aug 14 14:07 |
| DaemonFC | "For safety!" | Aug 14 14:07 |
| DaemonFC | At the lights without them, they never fucked with the yellow light time, so you either have time to get through or stop smoothly. | Aug 14 14:08 |
| DaemonFC | At first, I thought it may just be me when I pointed out to John that the camera lights in Chicago had less yellow light time. | Aug 14 14:08 |
| DaemonFC | Then I found out that the issue came up in a lawsuit against the city. | Aug 14 14:08 |
| activelow | DaemonFC: with 1.5s yellow-phase maximum safe velocity (which isn't a linear function, quadratic) would be ~30Km/h maximum | Aug 14 14:09 |
| DaemonFC | Part of the complaint was that accidents went up by 11% because of the reduced yellow time in order to let the city write more fines. | Aug 14 14:09 |
| activelow | if Illinois maximum speed is more than 30Km/h in conjunction with 1.5s then it probably would violate german safety regulations for traffic lights | Aug 14 14:09 |
| DaemonFC | Yes, and the speed limit on those roads is often more than twice that. | Aug 14 14:09 |
| DaemonFC | 35-40 miles per hour with 1.5 seconds of yellow. | Aug 14 14:10 |
| activelow | 40mp/h is roughly 60Km/h iirc, which requires 4s yellow-phase | Aug 14 14:11 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, and you get 1.5. | Aug 14 14:11 |
| DaemonFC | Less than half the amount of time you need to sop safely according to German regulations and a full second less than what the federal government recommends in the United States. | Aug 14 14:12 |
| DaemonFC | *stop | Aug 14 14:12 |
| activelow | yes, as a rough estimate | Aug 14 14:12 |
| DaemonFC | There's nothing "safe" about these cameras. | Aug 14 14:12 |
| DaemonFC | In fact, villages install them on US 12 or something so they mostly ticket people who aren't even living in the town. | Aug 14 14:13 |
| DaemonFC | So the theory goes, if few of the victims can vote there or conveniently return to contest the ticket, the problem is solved on your end. :) | Aug 14 14:13 |
| activelow | on the opposite, speeding and terror by idiots is equally unjust, remembering my decades of cyclist experience in cities | Aug 14 14:14 |
| DaemonFC | When you start putting a bunch of them in the city itself and pissing off city residents, someone may come along and offer to remove the cameras if they win the election. | Aug 14 14:14 |
| activelow | or the fact i couldn't at least open my windows neither day or night anymore due to speeding noise and air pollution | Aug 14 14:15 |
| DaemonFC | The first rule of politics is you need to learn how to be a complete scumbag while also depriving the other side of the "hero of the people" argument. | Aug 14 14:15 |

| DaemonFC | Well, the police start out at like 1 star by just following you and maybe ramming your car every now and then. | Aug 14 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | At 2 they start shooting, I think. | Aug 14 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | I think at 3 is when they call in a helicopater and that starts shooting at you and reporting on your position. | Aug 14 14:47 |
| DaemonFC | 4 is SWAT teams and the FBI start showing up all over the place and with heavier weapons. | Aug 14 14:48 |
| DaemonFC | 5 is the military. | Aug 14 14:48 |
| DaemonFC | 3 is when it starts getting pretty hard to ditch them. | Aug 14 14:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | DaemonFC: wanna read a 'poem'? | Aug 14 14:49 |
| DaemonFC | You have to figure out how to shoot down the helicopter while the squad cars are also after you and then hide before another one comes. | Aug 14 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's about tech companies | Aug 14 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | still draft | Aug 14 14:49 |
| DaemonFC | In normal play, the game certainly doesn't reward random lawbreaking like the politicians say it does. | Aug 14 14:49 |
| DaemonFC | If the police arrest or kill you, you lose a bunch of your money and they confiscate all your weapons. | Aug 14 14:50 |
| DaemonFC | You can get into a situation where you need to buy back good weapons to progress in the game and you don't have enough money to do that with, so you have to grab whatever you can again. | Aug 14 14:52 |
| DaemonFC | The game normally doesn't dump you into a serious firefight with nothing. | Aug 14 14:52 |
| DaemonFC | Otherwise it would be impossible to win. It just gets much harder. | Aug 14 14:52 |

| DaemonFC | Mom says if they do start demanding it, she'll resign. | Aug 14 14:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | they offer incentives now | Aug 14 14:58 |

| DaemonFC | Nothng truly vicious, but TV was mostly past this by the late 90s, so it stood out even then. | Aug 14 16:32 |
| DaemonFC | Also interesting. President Clark's regime on Earth is right-wing, authoritarian, and fascist, but gay marriage is apparently not a problem. | Aug 14 16:33 |
| DaemonFC | Even though the political right lost the issue, they keep picking. If other social issues are any indicator, this may very well not be over for them, even 50 years from now. | Aug 14 16:34 |
| DaemonFC | Their politicians don't make it a huge issue anymore because half the party no longer cares and the other half is still violently opposed to gay rights. | Aug 14 16:35 |
| DaemonFC | It's not clear that picking a side gains them anything with their base, but it may alienate swing voters. | Aug 14 16:35 |
| DaemonFC | Put another way, about a quarter of the US population is not past this issue and won't accept defeat. It's not actually clear what would happen under right-wing fascism at this point. So maybe "Clark's" government really doesn't care. | Aug 14 16:37 |

| DaemonFC | Many remaining economies calling themselves Communism are actually nothing of the sort. It's an autocratic single-party regime that represses its citizens and perverts the economy with state intervention, sure, which comes close. | Aug 14 16:42 |
| DaemonFC | But in practice, China is operating a lot like America did before the labor movement and during the Roaring Twenties. | Aug 14 16:42 |
| DaemonFC | There wasn't much government-backed speculation going on at the time in the US, but workers were exploited quite badly and the Fed was letting loose plenty of capital that was being invested unwisely. | Aug 14 16:44 |

| DaemonFC | They never said it would be any good. They said it would be a "minimum level" of protection from viruses. From what I understand, it usually detects things, but obviously not always.

| activelow | "Bill C-11 would not adequately address issues of meaningful consent, de-identification, or data mobility" | Aug 14 21:44 |
| activelow | this is a typical argument of data scrapers, any consent could terminate constitutional rights, which is wrong. | Aug 14 21:45 |
| activelow | if any such entity spies then this violates secrecy of telecommunications, which is a severe infringement at constitutional level. | Aug 14 21:46 |

| kingoffrance | re: spying well it depends how things are defined in laws https://abcnews.go.com/US/americas-top-spy-james-clapper-made-mistake-lie/story?id=37003608 | Aug 14 23:20 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-abcnews.go.com | America's Top Spy James Clapper: 'I Made a Mistake But I Did Not Lie' - ABC News | Aug 14 23:20 | |
| kingoffrance | spying they might define as content, not metadata, etc. | Aug 14 23:20 |
| kingoffrance | so when asked are you "spying?" they say "no" because its just metadata | Aug 14 23:20 |
| kingoffrance | which can then be handed off to spies lol | Aug 14 23:20 |
| kingoffrance | so we dont spy...we just feed other spies lol | Aug 14 23:21 |
| kingoffrance | that is u.s., but is 5 eyes/anywhere else any different? | Aug 14 23:21 |
| kingoffrance | and, this perhaps some ppl say is even why 5 eyes etc. | Aug 14 23:21 |
| kingoffrance | we cant spy on you, our partners in other countries can though | Aug 14 23:22 |
| activelow | german constitution translates "secrecy of telecommunications", which includes "metadata" are protected as telecommucations too | Aug 14 23:22 |
| kingoffrance | and share it with us etc. | Aug 14 23:22 |
| kingoffrance | ok, that is good then | Aug 14 23:22 |
| activelow | it is true, typically specific laws are defined which are derived from higher order constitution, and must be complient with the constitution itself | Aug 14 23:23 |
| kingoffrance | so theres no domestic spying that way. its just our foreign partners who shre with us | Aug 14 23:23 |
| activelow | if at all, the constitution permits then, with regards to both content and metadata, *lawful* interception only | Aug 14 23:23 |
| kingoffrance | and same thing with businesses/corporations...no no no we dont spy. we talk to our partners in the business world | Aug 14 23:24 |
| activelow | and *lawful* interception depends on heavy criminal intent of the one spied upon | Aug 14 23:24 |
| activelow | in any case, data scraping and mass surveillance are violating the constitution, the german one at least | Aug 14 23:24 |
| kingoffrance | i mean, gov can always say we never spy. we merely talk to our business partners | Aug 14 23:25 |
| kingoffrance | that people voluntarily do business with etc. | Aug 14 23:25 |
| kingoffrance | and they give us data lol | Aug 14 23:25 |
| kingoffrance | no spying lol | Aug 14 23:26 |
| activelow | sure, telecommunicatons distinct "source surveillance", and "transmission surveillance", among other technical details | Aug 14 23:26 |
| activelow | in case some violate the constitution in germany, whoever it was, and if no alternative action is possible, the german constitution permits force against those who violate the constitution | Aug 14 23:27 |
| activelow | "resistence" | Aug 14 23:28 |
| activelow | although, in the current state, this translates to martial law | Aug 14 23:29 |
| activelow | since "constitutional state" (Rechtsstaat) is abandoned | Aug 14 23:31 |
| phobos | Its supposed to be illegal in the USA. At least it was. Intelligence agencies, by their founding charter, were prohibited from spying on US citizens unless they had a warrant authorizing such activities. The burden of proof was heavy. | Aug 14 23:33 |
| phobos | Then the so called patriot act was passed which suddenly allowed spying on both legal residents and citizens alike under certain circumstances and a much reduced burden of proof for warrants | Aug 14 23:34 |
| phobos | Now, to by pass a lot of the laws, they have the post office running a black office doing the spying for some of these agencies to get around the charter and other laws | Aug 14 23:35 |
| activelow | spying on foreign citizens most often is related to "industrial espionage" as an act of "economic warfare", which too is outside the realm of "civil law" already, and implies martial law if no alternative remains | Aug 14 23:36 |
| phobos | The USA has been in a form of martial law since 9/11. Its just not declared. Some cities and towns have mandatory curfews, police are authorized to run check points, blah blah blah | Aug 14 23:37 |

| kingoffrance | well i dont follow such things, but hollywood loves the imagery. cia was supposed to centralize <other intelligence from prior agencies>. then they started doing covert missions etc. so some ppl say *that* is derogation from original authorization | Aug 14 23:56 |
| kingoffrance | the majority of reality is probably some guy in an office, pouring through reports | Aug 14 23:56 |
| kingoffrance | yes, patriot act no doubt made it worse | Aug 14 23:57 |
| kingoffrance | point being: centralize other things -> start collecting yourself maybe -> start acting on information again, i dont follow, just showing the trajectory | Aug 14 23:57 |
| kingoffrance | i dont know all the different agencies/etc. | Aug 14 23:57 |
| kingoffrance | or all the history, etc. | Aug 14 23:59 |
| kingoffrance | but yes, they were originally "collect it all" in sense of "coordinate all the other data from the prior agencies" | Aug 14 23:59 |
| activelow | another distinction is missing: mass surveillance or individual surveillance | Aug 14 23:59 |
| kingoffrance | some ppl say different agencies dont trust eachother or like to share | Aug 14 23:59 |
| kingoffrance | another reason perhaps why that was original plan | Aug 14 23:59 |
