[02:28]	IsambardPrince	"That base has gotten the message: Cybertruck owners have found their vehicles defaced with everything from spray paint to dog feces, and embarrassed drivers of less controversial Tesla models have taken to adding bumper stickers or magnets to their cars to make clear they purchased them before they knew about Musks politics."
[02:30]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], The person that I told not to buy Tesla stock in January is complaining that the $30,000 he invested then is only about $14,000 now.
[02:30]	IsambardPrince	They banned me, so I can't rub it in.
[02:30]	IsambardPrince	Still funny.
[02:32]	IsambardPrince	"In the meantimeand the meantime could be quite lengthyTesla needs to sell cars. There are only so many anarcho-capitalist crypto guys, Musks most dedicated constituency, more or less, in the conservative coalition. And regular conservatives, many of whom endlessly mocked liberals for buying EVs in the first place, want conventional vehicles. If they want to own the libs through their choice of vehicle, they already h

[02:50]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I talked to someone who was considering his options for dealing with debt today.
[02:51]	IsambardPrince	I said bankruptcy would be worth considering. Sometimes people do it stupidly. But if things have just gotten way out of hand, you can recover from bankruptcy eventually so it's worth looking at.
[02:51]	IsambardPrince	I think a lot of people in the US are going to have to unfortunately, under this administration.
[02:52]	IsambardPrince	Especially with the end of Income Based Repayments on student loans.

[02:52]	Sompi_	At least personal bankrupty is possible there
[02:52]	IsambardPrince	Is it not in Finland?
[02:52]	Sompi_	No
[02:52]	Sompi_	Here the debt exists until you die
[02:52]	IsambardPrince	Good lord.
[02:52]	IsambardPrince	So what do you do if you can't pay it?
[02:53]	Sompi_	That's why many people move away from here, to countries that don't extradite people to Finland
[02:53]	IsambardPrince	Extradition over debt?
[02:53]	Sompi_	And some just give up and start drinking or kill themselves
[02:53]	IsambardPrince	Nobody in the US cares about your debts from Finland, if you move here.
[02:53]	IsambardPrince	They look at your US credit scores, sure.
[02:53]	IsambardPrince	Not the foreign ones. At least the Immigration people don't.
[02:54]	IsambardPrince	Nobody in the US will enforce foreign debts.
[02:54]	Sompi_	IsambardPrince: Don't underestimate Ulosottolaitos
[02:54]	IsambardPrince	The end of IBR is going to push people over the edge.
[02:55]	Sompi_	Recovery proceedings have been a huge business here since the 90s and the depression
[02:55]	IsambardPrince	Some are seeing their student loan payments go from like $400 to $1700 a month.
[02:55]	IsambardPrince	Because Trump took down the website where you update your income each year.
[02:55]	Sompi_	We have tens of thousands of people who have been in debt since then
[02:55]	IsambardPrince	So every day, more people get put back on Standard Payments.
[02:55]	Sompi_	In debts that are mathematically impossible to pay
[02:56]	IsambardPrince	The truly horrible thing here is you can't normally discharge student loans.
[02:56]	Sompi_	They grow interest and those privately owned collection agencies are basically sucking all money that they get
[02:56]	IsambardPrince	And it will take about 6-12 months after you default to really FEEL too many consequences.
[02:56]	IsambardPrince	So it will start percolating through consumer spending over the course of the next couple of years.
[02:56]	Sompi_	Most of those people live in the minimum social security because if they work, they just lose everything to those collection agencies
[02:57]	IsambardPrince	Sompi_, Student loans work about like you describe all debts in Finland.
[02:57]	Sompi_	And the interests in those debts were insane, the debt could be doubling twice a year
[02:57]	Sompi_	Just few years ago we finally got some laws for those
[02:57]	Sompi_	But still, no possibility for personal bankrupty
[02:58]	IsambardPrince	Student loan debt is usually at about 6-12% depending on where you went for it.
[02:58]	IsambardPrince	You usually spend anywhere from $50,000-150,000 depending on what you studied, and interest accrues as each payment comes in to your school.
[02:58]	IsambardPrince	You just don't owe repayments until you're not in school.
[02:59]	IsambardPrince	So the debt getting bigger compels a lot of people to always be in school so they don't have to pay....for now.
[02:59]	IsambardPrince	But the debt is growing.
● Mar 19
[03:00]	Sompi_	And considering how ridiculously easy it is here to receive a fine of several thousand euros for something that isn't even your own fault, especially for entrepreneurs, many people end up in debt just because of a bad luck
[03:01]	Sompi_	This is because during the currency crisis president Koivisto ordered that all courts must end all debt cases in the favor of the banks
[03:02]	Sompi_	So it became a huge business where the financial institutions just cannot lose
[03:03]	Sompi_	The person in debt cannot do a personal bankrupty because that concept does not exist here, and they are often considered a financial offencer if they move away to escape their debt
[03:04]	Sompi_	IsambardPrince: Finland's downfall started exactly from that currency crisis

[03:31]	IsambardPrince	"Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nations top health official, has an unorthodox idea for tackling the bird flu bedeviling U.S. poultry farms. Let the virus rip.
[03:31]	IsambardPrince	Instead of culling birds when the infection is discovered, farmers should consider maybe the possibility of letting it run through the flock so that we can identify the birds, and preserve the birds, that are immune to it, Mr. Kennedy said recently on Fox News.
[03:31]	IsambardPrince	He has repeated the idea in other interviews on the channel.
[03:31]	IsambardPrince	Mr. Kennedy does not have jurisdiction over farms. But Brooke Rollins, the agriculture secretary, also has voiced support for the notion."
[03:32]	MinceR	Retarded Fucking Kennedy, Jr.
[03:32]	Sompi_	C has all kinds of platform-specific extensions. Often they are necessary to make it work on certain platforms. For example, most C implementations have near and far pointers on x86 real mode. For Rust people something like that would most probably be a trademark violation
[03:33]	Sompi_	If those birds that have been exposed to the virus are going to be killed anyway, then why not just try and see if some of them are immune?
[03:34]	Sompi_	If they are quarantined away from the birds that have not been exposed to the virus, then I don't see a problem
[03:34]	MinceR	where are those birds going to be stored until this is found out?
[03:34]	MinceR	i don't think they have quarantines
[03:35]	Sompi_	Then all birds are going to be killed anyway
[03:36]	Sompi_	Unless the farmers don't kill them and instead watch how many of them survives
[03:36]	MinceR	and won't be fed anymore; and presumably new birds will be acquired to replace them
[03:36]	Sompi_	Of course they have to be fed normally
[03:37]	MinceR	this experiment has costs, and somehow i don't see the krasnov administration paying any of them
[03:37]	MinceR	also, if farmers are going to just keep the infected birds in their own farms, the probability of transmission to humans increases
[03:37]	MinceR	which they probably don't want in the nation of antivaxxers
[03:38]	MinceR	i don't care -- the more humans with APT die, the better
[03:38]	Sompi_	There is no vaccine for bird flu
[03:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	Sompi_: want to check draft?
[03:38]	Sompi_	schestowitz[TR2]: yes
[03:39]	Sompi_	MinceR: Developing an immunity by becoming infected is not a new concept
[03:40]	MinceR	it is also not automatic
[03:40]	Sompi_	We cannot use it for humans, for obvious reasons
[03:40]	Sompi_	But in this case those birds would be killed anyway
[03:40]	Sompi_	Because that's what they do to birds who may have the bird flu
[03:40]	MinceR	and presumably no products made from them will be possible to sell
[03:41]	MinceR	if they're kept around, they'll have to be fed, they won't generate profit, and they'll run the risk of infecting humans
[03:41]	Sompi_	So maybe they could just let those chickens live and see if some of them survive and the next generation will be more resistant to the bird flu
[03:41]	MinceR	yes, maybe the farmers could pay all the costs of rfk jr's experiment
[03:42]	MinceR	and another possible result of this experiment is a variant of the virus that is more virulent
[03:43]	Sompi_	Yes, there are always risks
[03:43]	Sompi_	That variant can also happen if we just kill the birds
[03:43]	MinceR	note how the stupidest person, invested with the most power, is the one who's shooting his mouth off but won't pay for any of the costs and won't bear any of the risk

[04:18]	MinceR	yes, everyone must make compromises, except putler
[04:18]	MinceR	apparently
[04:18]	Sompi_	He too
[04:18]	Sompi_	And he's old, he will die soon
[04:18]	MinceR	oh right, it's winnie the pooh who gets to not make compromises
[04:18]	MinceR	how silly of me
[04:18]	MinceR	humanity is stupid, it will go extinct soon
[04:19]	Sompi_	If "not making compromises" means going to war, I'll rather accept those compromises
[04:19]	MinceR	if "not going to war" means being enslaved, i'd rather go to war
[04:19]	MinceR	i'd rather die and kill a couple of orcs than be owned by them
[04:20]	Sompi_	But yeah, it is easier to accept a war if you believe that you are going to die from some kind of heat catastrophe in few years anyway
[04:20]	Sompi_	Because then it does not make such a big difference
[04:20]	Sompi_	I have different beliefs
[04:20]	MinceR	it is easier to accept slavery if that's what you wanted all along
[04:21]	MinceR	forcing other people into slavery because you want to be a slave is not as noble as you think
[04:21]	MinceR	and if you think that humanity will survive after throwing all reason to the wind, and can just pray all natural disasters away, then i have a bridge to sell you in brooklyn
[04:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	<Sompi_> Finland could keep good relations with Russia until our politicians started replicating the same mistakes that Ukraine did
[04:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	2014 crimea
[04:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	nothing to do with what you mention
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	it was just putin deciding what's his and his and yours was his
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	when the ukranian president was not hostile towards russia
[04:22]	MinceR	besides, people who want to be putler's property can just fuck off to muscovy already
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	and didn't really fight back over the annexation
[04:22]	MinceR	there's plenty of room there and there's no need to fuck up every other country and every other person's life to get what you want
[04:23]	Sompi_	It started already in 2013
[04:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	.hu blast
[04:24]	MinceR	not sure what's .hu about it
[04:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	\oblast
[04:24]	MinceR	hungarians are some of the most cowardly people i'm aware of
[04:24]	MinceR	oh.
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	hungary shares a border with russia
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	that border is called ukraine
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	orban recognises this border
[04:25]	MinceR	well, for it to really become an oblast, we'll probably need to wait until agent krasnov, putler and jinping the 11th exterminate the remaining ukrainians and annex ukraine
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's a very thin border
[04:25]	MinceR	oh, i almost forgot kim jong-un, but his role is similar to that of lukashenka
[04:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	the witch of the east
[04:26]	MinceR	once they get hungary, the orcs can just march into austria and take it too
[04:26]	MinceR	they aren't even a NATO member

[04:38]	IsambardPrince	CBP is trying to coerce people into signing a form giving it up "voluntarily".
[04:38]	IsambardPrince	If you don't sign it they can give you an immigration court date. If you sign it, they take the card and deport you.
[04:38]	IsambardPrince	People are trying to get the word out to not be tricked. Don't sign that form.
[04:39]	IsambardPrince	I've always told them "Don't sign forms you do not understand. They will use that to make things legal that they could never have gotten from a judge."

[05:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	in a single word, control.

[06:12]	schestowitz[TR2]	Your comments on Sami's articler are quite articulate too.  It's important
[06:12]	schestowitz[TR2]	for the BSDs to realize they are not off the hook in the fight for control.
[06:12]	schestowitz[TR2]	Also, perhaps more important, it is essential not to let misguided individuals

[18:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	" These annual layoffs will continue to occur because it gooses the bottom line and results in IBM reporting continued financial success even though revenue barely budges. IBM management years ago hired McKinsey to evaluate their work force. McKinsey came back with the current strategy (layoff first world labor for lower cost labor elsewhere). Why? Because 98% of IBMs needed labor is commodity and can be done where labor rates 
[18:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	are lower and Internet abundant. IBM has centered this strategy mainly in India, because they have a very educated and capable workforce. (YES a country of 1.2 billion is easily capable of graduating several hundred thousand capable employees per year) So unless you have a highly skilled quite unique job, you are in the bullseye. Please note once all of the NA and Northern European labor is exhausted, then IBM will just shift to t
[18:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	he next highest cost labor country and continue the outsourcing to lower cost labor countries. What will that look like? Ask yourself who will work for less than the current commodity labor? The most likely candidates will be found in African nations. (Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, etc) Why hasnt it happened already? The answer centers mostly around infrastructure (country investment) and an educated workforce capable of handli
[18:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	ng attrition (yes turnover is a problem when you dont pay much) Will it happen? Definitely unless AI gets there first. "
[18:34]	Sompi_	How capable are those Indian employees?
[18:35]	Sompi_	Because the new reality on western countries is that they cannot code at all, thanks to big tech's propaganda that leads to misconceptions about technology
[18:35]	Sompi_	So are those Indian people any better?
[18:36]	psydroid3	I've seen system-level programming books written by Indians for many years now
[18:36]	psydroid3	AIX development was moved to India too
[18:37]	psydroid3	not just because they are cheap, but it turned out they were doing most of the work anyway
[18:37]	Sompi_	So there are programmers who can do low-level programming? That's already something
[18:37]	psydroid3	yes
[18:37]	Sompi_	I don't think any graduatee in Finland can do that
[18:37]	psydroid3	blame western universities for not teaching that anymore
[18:38]	Sompi_	How is it that Microsoft does not target those universities in the development countries?
[18:38]	Sompi_	Usually it goes the other way around, developing countries are always targeted first by corporations to corrupt all politicians and officials
[18:39]	psydroid3	I'm sure they actually do, but GNU/Linux has found critical mass in India
[18:39]	Sompi_	But now somehow countries like India seem to be relatively free from Microsoft's influence
[18:39]	psydroid3	Intel and Microsoft have been targetting my university
[18:40]	psydroid3	and some of the professors are literally Microsoft employees or have connections with the company

[18:43]	Sompi_	In my school the people in charge of the IT are probably just so incompetent that they believe everything that those corporate consultants tell them
[18:45]	psydroid3	but overall the university has been known as having a positive stand towards free software
[18:45]	Sompi_	"The school needs this new cloud-hosted SaS solution to do this thing X that was earlier done locally"
[18:45]	psydroid3	several of them have been outspoken critics of Microsoft software
[18:45]	psydroid3	several of the professors*
[18:46]	Sompi_	in Savonia most teachers are critics of free software
[18:47]	Sompi_	One of them said that the works must be saved in .doc format because you cannot do anything with LibreOffice anyway
[18:47]	psydroid3	that must be a terrible experience
[18:47]	Sompi_	They used that .doc format as the publishing format
[18:47]	Sompi_	And they still use, for most things
[18:48]	Sompi_	Things that are not meant to be edited
[18:48]	psydroid3	if you do that in some of my courses you get a 0
[18:48]	Sompi_	Even Microsoft itself didn't mean it to be used like that
[18:48]	Sompi_	It was meant to be an editing format and .doc is not necessarily portable even between different Windows systems
[18:48]	psydroid3	because they want a PDF generated from LaTeX or Markdown
[18:48]	Sompi_	But those free software critics always want to use it as a publishing format
[18:49]	Sompi_	psydroid3: Yes, PDF/A is the correct way to do it
[18:49]	Sompi_	Or postscript
[18:49]	Sompi_	If you want to be old-school
[18:49]	Sompi_	They are formats with open specifications
[18:50]	Sompi_	And no edit history
[18:52]	psydroid3	I don't think anyone has used Microsoft software for that for anything for my courses
[18:52]	psydroid3	we used Overleaf or Google Docs, as those allow collaboration
[18:53]	psydroid3	but I hope Finnish institutions of higher education realise what they're doing
[18:53]	psydroid3	this way they'll create people who are just puppets for big tech
[18:53]	Sompi_	Right now it is not politically acceptable to even criticise anything about Microsoft or other big tech companies from the Silicon Valley
[18:54]	Sompi_	Because it is considered as criticising USA
[18:55]	psydroid3	is that forbidden?
[18:56]	Sompi_	No, but someone most probably just accuses the critic for supporting Russia in the Ukraine war
[18:56]	psydroid3	I think this is something for Techrights
[18:56]	Sompi_	so that if you support free software, you support Putin

[20:33]	IsambardPrince	It is dangerous for people like the lobster to come to the US. By the time you know they're taking you away to put you in an ICE deportation prison for weeks or even months, you're already inside the US and subject to whatever the CBP officer decides to do.
[20:34]	IsambardPrince	<psydroid3> blame western universities for not teaching that anymore
[20:34]	IsambardPrince	They're not going to be teaching much of anything once Trump gets done with them.
[20:34]	IsambardPrince	So farr he's turned off their federal grants for not obeying the anti-tranny EO.
[20:34]	IsambardPrince	Blocked most international student visas (new ones).
[20:35]	IsambardPrince	Is finding ways to deport the ones that are here already. Including by inventing false allegations if necessary.
[20:35]	IsambardPrince	He's turned off FAFSA, so you can't apply for the little student aid that does not need paid back that there is.
[20:36]	IsambardPrince	People who served in the military are having a hard time applying for GI Bill education grants now.
[20:36]	IsambardPrince	And you'd be insane to take on student loans, more insane than usual, because it's not clear at all if or when Income Based Repayment is coming back.
[20:36]	IsambardPrince	And he's shutting off their funding for research and saying that we don't need scientific research.
[20:36]	IsambardPrince	So, the universities are fucked.
[20:37]	IsambardPrince	Columbia has set up a "Jewish Inquisition" to investigate students for talking about the Zionists. Even though they're completely Orwellian and illegally harassing and punishing students who have committed no crime, and otherwise licking Trump's boots, Trump took at least $400 million away from them anyway.
[20:39]	IsambardPrince	So the result is, tuition will go up a lot, and you won't get FAFSA or GI Bill, and your student loans will not be on IBR when you get out so it could take half your income to pay them if the degree doesn't pan out and you end up working a regular job.
[20:39]	IsambardPrince	And if you say the wrong thing the Jew Board will throw you out even though they're being punished anyway by Trump, and you still owe the loans.

[22:36]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I explained to DACA recipients on Reddit how they can use Simple Sabotage to fuck with Trump's USCIS ARR regulation:
[22:36]	IsambardPrince	You still can register and file this form for ARR if you want to, even if you have DACA and are not required to register.
[22:36]	IsambardPrince	There's no filing fee and all that happens if they already know about you, according to the regulation, is they send you a thing saying they looked and you're good.
[22:36]	IsambardPrince	In fact, if everyone who has DACA does this it could overwhelm them and that would be hilarious.
[22:36]	IsambardPrince	Millions of people registering and giving them no information they didn't have already, despite not being required to, will chew up resources by having USCIS look into it just to say you're good already, while costing you nothing.

[23:12]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I was talking to a man who claimed to be an ICE ERO officer. So I linked him to a YouTube video of Bill Hicks repeatedly saying "Kill yourself...there's no joke coming, there's no excuse for what you do. Suck a tailpipe, borrow a gun, fucking hang yourself. Seriously, there's no joke coming."
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	If everyone they normally interact with has to worry about being deported for saying that, then I'll say it.

[23:21]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I replied to a post about an Arkansas law.
[23:21]	IsambardPrince	"The state of Arkansas recently signed a new law restricting drivers from driving in the state of Arkansas if you can't read or write English. Where this law is being used wrong is allowing police officers to stop anyone driving and ask if the can read and write English. If they can't per the police officers direction, they are immediately fined $5000 dollars payable immediately. If they can't pay they are handcuffed and taken to 
[23:21]	IsambardPrince	jail."
[23:21]	IsambardPrince	Hand them an ID or a paper with their name and address on it telling the officer, in English, that this is who they are and where they live, and a card from the ACLU, in English, that tells the officer they're invoking their right to remain silent and want an attorney. Tell them not to say anything in a non-English language, don't agree to take any "tests". Don't talk to the police after that.
[23:23]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, My favorite story about the cops taking revenge on someone was a guy they pulled over for speeding in Florida. After they were done ticketing him, he drove off and gave them the finger.
[23:23]	IsambardPrince	So they pulled him over again and wrote him another ticket, for "improper hand signal".
[23:26]	IsambardPrince	You may get it thrown out, but now there's another appearance and you have to tell the judge that you shouldn't be cited for flipping off the police because of the first amendment.

[23:41]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Someone was asking what happens if the Fifth Circuit takes DACA away in Texas and wondered about moving to a blue state.
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	I replied,
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	"Illinois is probably the least likely to back down in my opinion.
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	Gavin Newsome in California is a spineless prick.
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	Governor Pritzker in Illinois is at least fighting them instead of rolling over.
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	They're not going to get what they want in court, so they're already looking for other ways to punish Illinois. They took away our fair housing enforcement grants, and while businesses can still get SBA loans here, they're closing the Chicago office and they're apparently going to make everyone drive to Springfield if they have to do anything in person.
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	Trump so loves his petty torments.
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	"You see that television over there with the televangelist? When you leave, Dr. Chilton will turn it all the way up. He so enjoys his petty torments." -Dr. Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of The Lambs)"

[23:49]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, In the movie, Hannibal Lecter calls Dr. Chilton a hack, mocks him to his face, and eventually outsmarts him and escapes.
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	In the TV show, he arranges to have Dr. Chilton kidnapped by another asylum patient who is a doctor that likes to harvest organs from people for no real reason, so Chilton loses a kidney before the FBI finds him.
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	I think it was a kidney, it was pretty fucked up anyway.
