[00:39]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[00:39]	DaemonFC	The idea that you can make computing more secure, but only by making the computer useless is kind of an Apple-ism that spread to Microsoft.
[00:39]	DaemonFC	And one of the reasons they like this snake oil so much is because then they can lock the device, not compete with anyone else, and promote Hollywood DRM.
[00:39]	DaemonFC	As far as security is concerned, it's like saying "We're going to make it almost impossible to have a really nasty car accident, by limiting everyone's cars to 20 MPH.".
[00:39]	DaemonFC	This is the iPhone model.

[00:41]	DaemonFC	But this is, frankly, exactly what's happened with Apple and  iPhones and nobody seems to care.

[00:46]	DaemonFC	That's a nit, but it's the diseased thinking that has overtaken feminism, and affirmative action in general.

[01:11]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], I emailed RMS about his post "A world tailored to men.".
[01:11]	DaemonFC	"Just a comment on "A world tailored to men.".
[01:11]	DaemonFC	The notion on the Left in general, and of Feminists and "Reverse Racists" is that men, and especially white men, have had it too good for too long and that they deserve to be uncomfortable, socially rebuked, to suffer, and so on, so forth.
[01:11]	DaemonFC	So the nit about air conditioning is sort of an aside.
[01:11]	DaemonFC	If people want to know why people are angry enough that Trump came along consider things like this happening.
[01:11]	DaemonFC	Last year, two black men (with an extensive list of felonies, no insurance, and no driver's license on the driver) were in a Honda that ran a stop light, made an illegal left turn, and crashed into the car I had at the time. 
[01:11]	DaemonFC	A 2003 Impala with a lot of rust and 300,000 miles. A real piece of crap.
[01:11]	DaemonFC	I called the cops after the driver asked me to just "let it go" because I didn't want them to run to the cops later and make up a false narrative about me trying to flee an accident or something.
[01:11]	DaemonFC	Cops arrive 30 minutes later. Both cops are, I'd say, Latino, probably Mexican lineage, 2nd or 3rd generation? 
[01:11]	DaemonFC	They look at the other guys, they look at me. They let them go even though they caused the accident and have committed at least two misdemeanor offenses (the driver) of no insurance and no license and a felony (passenger was out of Wisconsin without the permission of his parole officer).
[01:11]	DaemonFC	They then turned around and stuck me, the white guy, with the citation for causing an accident. The police followed it up by falsifying their report to say I took responsibility for the accident via a confession I never made.
[01:11]	DaemonFC	The driver was threatening a lawsuit and said he'd show up at my trial on the bogus "offense" of running the light, which the cops tried to pin on me. I hired an attorney. The ticket was dismissed because the other two didn't show up for court.
[01:11]	DaemonFC	I feel, but can't prove, that I was the recipient of Reverse Racism. The cops and the people in the other car were both minorities. Here's a white guy. Get him!
[01:11]	DaemonFC	But you can't say that in court because it won't go well.
[01:11]	DaemonFC	Then you have things like this going on and people wonder why Trump starts to appeal to "grievances", some of which are legitimate.
[01:11]	DaemonFC	I'm not rich. I've never had a lot of money. I certainly don't feel like people have treated me well for being "white", ever. But here's all of these educated idiots saying I have "white privilege" even though I've been through the wringer, unjustifiably, more times than most of them have. So it must be true?"

[01:15]	DaemonFC	  > his job. He got very sick and I drove him to the clinic to get Paxlovid.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	I can only respond that "this does happen and no one denies it."  No
[01:15]	DaemonFC	Covid-19 vaccine is 100% effective.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	That is why I take precautions against catching Covid-19.  I wear an
[01:15]	DaemonFC	N95 mask whenever I am with other people indoors, except for my
[01:15]	DaemonFC	girlfriend and one household of other friends who take precautions.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	This means I don't eat with people indoors except those few.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	  > Therefore, this level of vaccination didn't prevent us from getting it and 
[01:15]	DaemonFC	  > wasn't going to be enough to prevent us from getting very sick.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	According to the statistics, this happens much less frequently to vaccinated
[01:15]	DaemonFC	people than to nonvaccinated.  But it does happen.  Neither Pfeizer nor
[01:15]	DaemonFC	the US government ever said that vaccination makes you "safe."
[01:15]	DaemonFC	  > The US government is hiding the extent of how much COVID-19 is actually out 
[01:15]	DaemonFC	  > there.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	That is true, in a way.  The US government has more or less abandoned
[01:15]	DaemonFC	the system for testing large numbers of people and the system for
[01:15]	DaemonFC	keeping overall records.  I think the best estimates nowadays come
[01:15]	DaemonFC	from measuring the amount of Covid-19 in sewers.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	But I would not say the government is the main culprit.  This is what
[01:15]	DaemonFC	most people want: "Imagine there's no Covid; all of us are safe,
[01:15]	DaemonFC	uh-oh!"  Their pressure was enormous and the government yielded to it.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	Not only the US government, but nearly all governments around the
[01:16]	DaemonFC	world.
[01:16]	DaemonFC	At least Spain still requires everyone in an airplane to wear a mask.
[01:16]	DaemonFC	What fools, the other governments that don't do this.

[01:18]	schestowitz[TR]	DaemonFC: seems very reasonable
[01:19]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], I replied.
[01:19]	DaemonFC	Just now.
[01:19]	DaemonFC	"I'd like to respond that President Biden was recently dismissive of face masks, declared the "pandemic was over", and even used the Fourth of July to "declare Independence from COVID".
[01:19]	DaemonFC	He also previously said that it was only a "Pandemic of the Unvaccinated".
[01:19]	DaemonFC	All of these statements are not just false, they're such lies that they ought to be criminal.
[01:19]	DaemonFC	So I would suggest otherwise when you stated that Biden (the US Government) has never said that vaccination makes you safe.
[01:19]	DaemonFC	For all intents and purposes, who speaks for the US Government if it isn't the President of the United States on the podium or talking to reporters?
[01:19]	DaemonFC	Even with all of these vaccines, people are getting COVID over and over and it's essentially a battering ram for your body. The first hit doesn't break down the door, but each one does more damage until it gives out.

[01:25]	DaemonFC	The radio was malfunctioning and didn't have Bluetooth. Illinois has a hands-free law. If a cop sees you with the phone in your hand, the insurance people can be the least of what happens.

[01:26]	DaemonFC	Yes, they've regressed.
[01:26]	schestowitz[TR]	not just to purchase
[01:26]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], I got out of an expensive repair I think.
[01:26]	DaemonFC	I ran an engine flush through it when it screamed low oil pressure at me.
[01:26]	schestowitz[TR]	aside from MOT, insurance, cleaning, fuel etc. (a dozen other things!)
[01:26]	DaemonFC	Haven't seen the warning again since.
[01:26]	DaemonFC	$20 plus an oil change, meh.
[01:27]	schestowitz[TR]	the only thing to own more expensive than a car is a kid. I assume houses are different, they also last a lot longer idf built right.
[01:27]	DaemonFC	Beats paying a mechanic to drop the oil pan and tear out the oil pickup and clean it out manually and then redo the gasket because they were in there.
[01:27]	DaemonFC	If it works.
[01:27]	starstreak	linucks btw
[01:28]	schestowitz[TR]	a car can increase cost of living for a couple by 30% here
[01:28]	DaemonFC	It's basically a solvent that gets in there and goes everywhere the oil does and dissolves sludge, wax, crud, and dirt, and then you change the oil.
[01:28]	schestowitz[TR]	not even counting the buying price
[01:28]	schestowitz[TR]	if bought on installments, maybe 50%
[01:28]	schestowitz[TR]	similar to one kid
[01:28]	schestowitz[TR]	and both ruin the planet
[01:28]	DaemonFC	It's not as good as tearing the engine down and degreasing it.
[01:28]	DaemonFC	But it's a hell of a lot less expensive and it can solve some pressure problems.

[06:43]	DaemonFC	It's kind of funny what went on with the "Swatch x Omega".
[06:43]	DaemonFC	They came up with a low cost quartz movement for a watch that looks like the Omega Speedmaster and sell them cheaply.
[06:44]	DaemonFC	At first I wondered why they would do that, isn't it kind of "brand destruction"?
[06:44]	DaemonFC	Then I realized that Swatch is making these things pretty cheaply and not to the standards of a real Omega watch.
[06:45]	DaemonFC	The margin is probably at least as high, if not higher, than the Omega, and probably nobody interested in an Omega watch would wear this.

[09:01]	TR News	Sirius Open Source of the past 4 years has been somewhat of a farce at the top; people with neither skills nor experience in management (far from it!) try to hide their incapability and insecurities by mostly bullying the staff, misusing/abusing authority that was never deserved in the first place http://techrights.org/2022/12/19/sirius-incompetent-management/
[09:01]	TR Bot	 Sirius Open Source: Where Babysitters and Secretaries/Personal Assistants Can Miraculously Become Managers (and Fail at It Really Badly) | Techrights
[09:02]	TR News	Sirius Open Source became an unproductive company because managers could not properly manage very basic stuff like holiday cover; they had relied too much on people who work all night long to actually serve clients (by doing actual, technical work) http://techrights.org/2022/12/19/managers-pretending-to-be-busy/

[09:04]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], I've seen Casio and Timex watches that are far superior to the Swatch models for $18-40. The Timex Expedition even includes solar power for $40.
[09:04]	TR News	It seems clear that few large publishers and monopolists are willing to destroy the World Wide Web for personal gain; one recent manifestation of this agenda is link tax (charging sites for linking to other sites) http://techrights.org/2022/12/19/world-wide-web-link-tax/
[09:04]	TR Bot	 Copyright Maximalists Are Nonchalantly Destroying the World Wide Web | Techrights
[09:04]	DaemonFC	I can't believe that Swatch manages to sell anything at those prices just because it says "Swiss Made". They're a cheap Quartz watch that are built to the standards of....crap at Walmart.
[09:07]	DaemonFC	I let all of the laundry back up while I had COVID.
[09:08]	DaemonFC	So now I'm having to run like 8-9 loads through that portable washing machine all at once.
[09:08]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], That's literally all a boss does. Scream at people to go faster.
[09:08]	schestowitz[TR]	haha
[09:08]	DaemonFC	At any job.
[09:08]	schestowitz[TR]	that's a BAD boss
[09:09]	schestowitz[TR]	good bosses don't need to do that
[09:09]	DaemonFC	Well, I've had a lot of those.
[09:09]	schestowitz[TR]	but such bosses are rare and expensive
[09:09]	schestowitz[TR]	people respect Torvalds
[09:09]	schestowitz[TR]	and he rarely shouts at people
[09:09]	schestowitz[TR]	unless they do something very bad
[09:09]	schestowitz[TR]	same with de raast
[09:09]	DaemonFC	They paid the guy twice as much as me and all he does is stand there and look at everyone working and shouts "work faster!".
[09:09]	DaemonFC	I swear to god.
[09:09]	schestowitz[TR]	you want bosses like them
[09:09]	DaemonFC	Like, they didn't do much at any factory I worked at.
[09:10]	DaemonFC	Just "work faster!" and write people up and track attendance. Try to steal minutes off your time card while you weren't watching.
[09:10]	schestowitz[TR]	it's like the rowing boat
[09:10]	schestowitz[TR]	and the person with the megaphone
[09:10]	schestowitz[TR]	guess whoi suffers 
[09:10]	schestowitz[TR]	and who is deriving joy from that suffering
[09:10]	schestowitz[TR]	rowing is very very painful in the competitive sense
[09:11]	schestowitz[TR]	more than running because all the body is working
[09:11]	DaemonFC	They have too many bosses and not enough workers at Walmart.
[09:11]	DaemonFC	It's the worst I've ever seen.
[09:11]	schestowitz[TR]	if they shout too much, many droplets
[09:11]	DaemonFC	At least most factories I've been at had 1 or 2 shift supervisors.
[09:11]	schestowitz[TR]	then they make the staff sick :-)
[09:11]	DaemonFC	At Walmart you have like 6 people watching 30 people work.
[09:11]	schestowitz[TR]	maybe they figures out it's the stweet spot rati
[09:11]	DaemonFC	At factories it was like 1 boss for every 100 workers.
[09:12]	schestowitz[TR]	even if that sucks for staff and for clients
[09:12]	schestowitz[TR]	let me guesS:
[09:12]	schestowitz[TR]	at walmart the supervisors get paid maybe 20% more than the rest
[09:12]	DaemonFC	Hourly?
[09:12]	schestowitz[TR]	so 5 supervisors only cost them like one more "low-level" worker
[09:12]	DaemonFC	THey don't give big pay raises for hourly supervisors.
[09:12]	schestowitz[TR]	and they mostly compensate them for the extra responsibielity with a job titke
[09:13]	DaemonFC	Like $1-2. When I was there it was like 50-60 cents.
[09:13]	schestowitz[TR]	like NFT as 'incentive'
[09:13]	schestowitz[TR]	rather than proper salary
[09:13]	DaemonFC	The hourly supervisors end up working.
[09:13]	DaemonFC	Stocking shelves, running registers.
[09:13]	schestowitz[TR]	so what you say is what I spsect
[09:13]	schestowitz[TR]	bigger job title
[09:13]	schestowitz[TR]	maybe more hours
[09:13]	schestowitz[TR]	more stressa
[09:13]	schestowitz[TR]	and half a dollar more
[09:13]	schestowitz[TR]	not worth it
[09:13]	schestowitz[TR]	meanwhile the waltons rake in BILLIONS
[09:13]	schestowitz[TR]	and moan about suppliers
[09:13]	schestowitz[TR]	like farmers
[09:14]	schestowitz[TR]	talking about "inflation"
[09:14]	schestowitz[TR]	even if walmart profits from it
[09:14]	schestowitz[TR]	fakinmg sympathy for the "consumer"
[09:14]	schestowitz[TR]	that's good "markting"
[09:14]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], Mandy said he wanted to take a Team Lead job. I said no because we'd lose the Comcast Internet Essentials and his Retirement SAVERS Credit.
[09:14]	schestowitz[TR]	the famers are paid no more than before
[09:14]	schestowitz[TR]	they just see their bills going up
[09:14]	DaemonFC	And then there went $1,000 to the IRS and we have to come up with $80 a month for Internet again.
[09:14]	schestowitz[TR]	samae salary
[09:15]	schestowitz[TR]	"pandemic of the unvaccined" = "inflation of the vampires"
[09:15]	schestowitz[TR]	*unvaccinated
[09:15]	schestowitz[TR]	it's just greed, not deficits
[09:15]	DaemonFC	So we'd end up losing as much money to the IRS and not qualifying for our internet subsidy anymore as he'd gain.
[09:15]	DaemonFC	Then they'd expect him to keep an eye on all of those idiots and start riding him for what they're doing.
[09:15]	schestowitz[TR]	"BUT THE TITLE!!!"
[09:16]	schestowitz[TR]	"I AM CEO FOUNDER SUPERVISOR EXECTUVE CHIEF SUPREMO!!'
[09:16]	schestowitz[TR]	(with the same salary)
[09:16]	schestowitz[TR]	(and more work)
[09:16]	schestowitz[TR]	"what would the girl down the pub think!!!!  man, I can get laid with this title"
[09:16]	DaemonFC	Asians are just different man.
[09:17]	DaemonFC	Sorry to put it like this but "I have big job title!".
[09:17]	DaemonFC	It's like that.
[09:17]	schestowitz[TR]	in germany they have professor doktor
[09:17]	schestowitz[TR]	they chaion the title
[09:17]	schestowitz[TR]	in the UK thney have many aftewr the name
[09:17]	DaemonFC	I'm like "Keep your fucking job title unless there's MONEY!".
[09:17]	schestowitz[TR]	roy schestowitz, phd, some 4 letter acronym, some more fancy bullshit
[09:17]	schestowitz[TR]	in frenchL:
[09:17]	DaemonFC	That's probably why Japan makes all the best stuff and our industry is gone.
[09:17]	schestowitz[TR]	SCHESTOWITZ, Roy
[09:18]	schestowitz[TR]	DaemonFC: some companies make up buzzword lingo as incentive instead of money
[09:18]	schestowitz[TR]	under a false premise
[09:18]	schestowitz[TR]	that you might find it good as a hopping point for your carreer or netx job
[09:18]	schestowitz[TR]	so you work 70 hours a week
[09:18]	schestowitz[TR]	for "senior"
[09:18]	schestowitz[TR]	or some little difference
[09:19]	schestowitz[TR]	pay up 5%
[09:19]	schestowitz[TR]	work hours up 50+%
[09:19]	schestowitz[TR]	and that gets you nowhere
[09:19]	DaemonFC	That shouldn't motivate people.
[09:19]	DaemonFC	It doesn't motivate me.
[09:19]	schestowitz[TR]	and at the end all your extra work is some "IP" or some company
[09:19]	DaemonFC	Fuck that.
[09:19]	schestowitz[TR]	and you basically worked extra 30 hours a week for a hundred bucks a week
[09:19]	schestowitz[TR]	job titles are all made up
[09:19]	schestowitz[TR]	devops
[09:20]	schestowitz[TR]	aiops

[09:20]	schestowitz[TR]	"systems architect"
[09:20]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], They make your job so much more terrible and you get 50 cents that you won't even notice because the IRS will take 40% of it. LOL
[09:20]	schestowitz[TR]	"SENIOR systems architect"
[09:20]	schestowitz[TR]	"VICE PRESIDENT of  systems architecture"
[09:20]	schestowitz[TR]	"Supreme Leader  systems architecture"!!
[09:20]	schestowitz[TR]	[meme of WCW]
[09:20]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], There's diminishing returns to work thanks to tax.
[09:20]	schestowitz[TR]	the tax element is another thing
[09:20]	schestowitz[TR]	a payrise can mean decrease in relative pay
[09:21]	schestowitz[TR]	pro rata
[09:21]	DaemonFC	Pretty much.
[09:21]	DaemonFC	It can put you in a bigger bracket, make you lose government benefits you get now, credits....
[09:21]	DaemonFC	So in the end it's not worth it because the government comes and steals your raise.
[09:21]	DaemonFC	Then you have a job you hate so much worse.
[09:21]	schestowitz[TR]	BUT THE  JOB TITLE !!
[09:22]	schestowitz[TR]	"get job title, get *** jobs"
[09:22]	schestowitz[TR]	that's what they tell you
[09:22]	schestowitz[TR]	in the movies
[09:22]	schestowitz[TR]	it's all about money
[09:22]	schestowitz[TR]	and they train people to think the same
[09:22]	schestowitz[TR]	so they work more hours
[09:22]	schestowitz[TR]	MOAR days
[09:22]	schestowitz[TR]	for a title
[09:22]	schestowitz[TR]	to impress people who hate them anyway
[09:22]	schestowitz[TR]	at the end you get X "followers"
[09:22]	DaemonFC	People who are not stupid tend to be at the bottom. Why? They realize the diminishing returns and how hard they'll have to work for it.
[09:23]	schestowitz[TR]	and then Musk buys Y and X becomes 0
[09:23]	DaemonFC	And how much responsibility and what a pain in the ass there will be.
[09:23]	DaemonFC	You should minimize responsibility and pain in the ass stuff like taxes and people yelling at you and get as much money as you can within that.
[09:23]	DaemonFC	You should either do MUCH better or stay put.
[09:23]	DaemonFC	None of this "Team Lead" bullshit.
[09:24]	schestowitz[TR]	that shortens life too
[09:24]	schestowitz[TR]	which means the benefits and savings serve no actual purpose
[09:24]	DaemonFC	I hate responsibility.
[09:24]	DaemonFC	If I want to sit here and smoke a joint and listen to the radio, I will. 
[09:24]	DaemonFC	If that's what I want to do.
[09:25]	DaemonFC	There's things to avoid to the furthest extent possible. Work, taxes, the police, and obligations.
[09:25]	schestowitz[TR]	that might "work" for a ahile
[09:25]	DaemonFC	I swore I'd never get married.
[09:25]	schestowitz[TR]	but things get harder when you run out of means
[09:25]	DaemonFC	I ended up getting married.
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR]	or get ill and have no coverage
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR]	having said that, hoarding money you lack the time to properly spend
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR]	(No, NOT buy a shitty sports car that's the height of your thigh)
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR]	would prove useless over time
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR]	esp. as you get older and cannot do many things anymore
[09:27]	schestowitz[TR]	welkl, marriage is hard in theory
[09:27]	schestowitz[TR]	because you need to find the right person
[09:27]	schestowitz[TR]	responsibility does not increase
[09:27]	schestowitz[TR]	responsibility gets shared
[09:27]	schestowitz[TR]	so it can actually makes things simpler
[09:27]	schestowitz[TR]	IF
[09:27]	schestowitz[TR]	if you find a suitable partner
[09:27]	schestowitz[TR]	the media and social control media is "opium"
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR]	so the number of eligible people to share responsibility is going down
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR]	now you have people whose day goesm like
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR]	wake up, pickk phone
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR]	stay under blanket till midday
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR]	flicking things in social control media or talking
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR]	then go get some junk food
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR]	back to bed or safa, day done
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR]	*sofa
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR]	those are "GOOD" at social; control media
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR]	they "collect" many 'friends'
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR]	because they have no life
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR]	despite having no life
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR]	or BECAUSE of a lack of life
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR]	they make a "meta"life
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR]	and then comes Musk
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR]	raiding your "life"
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR]	your online "friends"
[09:30]	schestowitz[TR]	or mental support lifeline

[19:51]	DaemonFC	A lot of people are giving up on crypto because it's in the dumps anyway and Biden's new tax law puts more reporting requirements on crypto.
[19:51]	DaemonFC	The only thing it's going to do now that crypto has had its day is increase compliance because they can take massive losses on it.
[19:51]	DaemonFC	For every $10 you had in some of these fake coins, you have $1 now and it's the problem of the American taxpayer.
[19:52]	DaemonFC	All the money the Inflation Reduction Act was suppose to raise is going away.
[19:52]	DaemonFC	Even Congress fell for SBF.

[19:55]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[19:55]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[19:55]	DaemonFC	The IRS is going to have as much of a nightmare as the American people are. There are going to be so many inaccurate tax returns next year because of the $600 bank reporting rule and the new crypto stuff that many people who mean well and think they got it right, actually won't.
[19:55]	DaemonFC	I can only surmise that tax laws are being written to help destroy crypto.
[19:55]	DaemonFC	Exchanges should be allowed to set up as banks and figure out the Dollar value when you spend it and the IRS should apply your income tax rate.
[19:58]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[19:58]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[19:58]	DaemonFC	When you think about Crypto, taxing it as income based on the value when you spend it makes a lot of sense.
[19:58]	DaemonFC	If you're an international business and you have American employees and you're headquartered in the EU, your American employees don't have to tell the IRS "Well, my boss is in Germany and he got some Euros. Each Euro has the dates as shown here and this is how long he held onto each one before he paid me. This is the date I acquired each check. Let's calculate Capital Gains.".

[20:04]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[20:04]	DaemonFC	The IRS W-9 thing is actually good though.
[20:04]	DaemonFC	There's a lot of fraud involved in Crypto. To evade taxes, a lot of criminals have been going to the exchanges and "borrowing" TINs from people they stole them from and figuring the IRS will go after the other person.
[20:04]	DaemonFC	If the crypto exchange has to restrict their account if they can't come up with the W-9 data and a current driver's license, then this gets much harder.
[20:07]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[20:07]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[20:07]	DaemonFC	I don't think that the Brave browser will have an easy time continuing because they tied their stake to buzzword bullshit like Crypto, and they made a new token that's essentially driven by ads.
[20:07]	DaemonFC	Ads are valuable only if people are hot to buy what the advertisers are selling, otherwise they go away.
[20:07]	DaemonFC	Does Brave actually make any money?
[20:07]	DaemonFC	Even Google is not liking their quarterly figures and is having mass layoffs and Google makes money.

[20:26]	DaemonFC	schestowitz[TR], Do we know if Brave is laying off?
[20:26]	DaemonFC	The value of my BAT went from $11 to $1.
[20:26]	DaemonFC	I closed my account on the exchange while it was under $5 so they would just let me delete it without giving them my bank account.

[20:32]	DaemonFC	Uphold's behavior (making up random excuses why you can't have your money now and having people's entire account balance disappear in the night and never answering their emails about it) should tell you this is not regulated banking.
[20:32]	DaemonFC	Libertarians wanted the 1920s, and the 1920s they shall have. 
[20:32]	DaemonFC	Bank runs, the people running the place running for the state line, so to speak, to go on the hide from the people they owe money to.

[21:33]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[21:33]	DaemonFC	Our immigration attorney manages to keep herself quite busy, even taking on pro bono cases sometimes through a legal aid clinic.
[21:33]	DaemonFC	USCIS is pretty much furious when they get petitions from immigrants that need legal assistance.
[21:33]	DaemonFC	But they let a guy who ran a porn studio in by flashing his bank account, then within two years he was facing rape, sex trafficking of minors, false imprisonment, etc.
[21:33]	DaemonFC	He escaped. We think he's in New Zealand but not really sure.
[21:33]	DaemonFC	Trump's system let those people in.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[21:35]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[21:35]	DaemonFC	Trump's major hurdle that he wanted to add to the Immigration system was a "wealth test" called the I-944. 
[21:35]	DaemonFC	It went on and on and forced you to prove you had a lot of money and earnings potential.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	So the truth of the matter is that they don't care if you're a monster like Michael Pratt, because he was out buying BMWs and Rolex watches and could fill out the I-944, but all other immigrants are "criminals or at least future criminals" based on status (bank account balance).
[21:43]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[21:43]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[21:43]	DaemonFC	Trump's damage will be felt for years.
[21:43]	DaemonFC	Under the I-944, people were going hungry, afraid to ask for a little food for their children, some were even avoiding their COVID vaccines or medical treatment if they got it because they were worried what USCIS would think.
[21:43]	DaemonFC	Yes, Trump murdered people with the I-944, and at the absolute best he doesn't care that he did.
[21:45]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[21:45]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[21:45]	DaemonFC	The biggest reforms we need to make to the Immigration system are to ensure better conditions at the detention centers than "people in cages sleeping under space blankets, getting raped by the guards, and eating prison food", funding for twice as many judges, and a guarantee of a public defender in deportation cases.
[21:45]	DaemonFC	It's never going to happen as long as people like Manchin and Sinema are in the Senate.
[21:51]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[21:51]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[21:51]	DaemonFC	The US Federal Government contracts with "prison companies" to run Immigration detention centers and a federal program that most people don't know about called Job Corps.
[21:51]	DaemonFC	Job Corps was created under JFK to provide vocational training to low income youth. 
[21:51]	DaemonFC	In theory, you go there between 16-24 and get room + board, help earning GED, as much vocational training as you want, food, a cash stipend.
[21:51]	DaemonFC	But the courts dump offenders there, and it turns into a brawl with rape gangs roaming around.
[21:51]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[21:51]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[21:51]	DaemonFC	Since Job Corps is such an awful place, most people don't actually achieve much there, don't get placed into anything like what they studied, and the companies flat out lie and say people "graduated" and hand you a couple thousand dollars so you won't talk about it to the feds either.
[21:51]	DaemonFC	So the system rolls on all for the profit of GEO Group and Corrections Corporation of America.
[21:53]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[21:53]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[21:53]	DaemonFC	For less than what the Feds pay to run the failed Job Corps program, they could just start paying people's tuition at a two year community college program and they'd save money and wouldn't have criminals roaming around beating up and raping the few that are trying to learn.
[21:53]	DaemonFC	Most people don't know this problem exists, so they don't know how it could be solved.

[22:03]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:03]	DaemonFC	I watched through all 7 seasons of Star Trek DS9 while I was sick. 
[22:03]	DaemonFC	God knows why.
[22:03]	DaemonFC	I think it has the usual lackluster stories, uninspired scripts, plodding along, and mind numbing storylines most Trek suffers from, with the occasional good episode.
[22:03]	DaemonFC	The best character was Odo, and the best episode was The Magnificent Ferengi.
[22:03]	DaemonFC	Of course I could just be biased because my personality type is much like Odo's or Yelgrun's (Iggy Pop's Vorta).
[22:03]	DaemonFC	I do like The Orville better, especially lately.
[22:03]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[22:03]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:03]	DaemonFC	Criticizing Trek ends up causing a Holy War. 
[22:03]	DaemonFC	I mean, it was groundbreaking stuff in the 60s. Voyager and most of TNG were kind of okay.
[22:03]	DaemonFC	I think DS9 was probably their weakest, and a lot of this was that they stole everything that wasn't nailed down from JMS's Babylon 5 pitch, and even some B5 episodes and story arcs and grafted Star Trek over top of it.
[22:03]	DaemonFC	B5's better in every way except that Warner Bros wouldn't give them the per-episode budget that DS9 got, so "production value".
[22:05]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[22:05]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:05]	DaemonFC	I used Discord briefly. I got banned from a "server" from observations on DS9 when it "triggered" a moderator.
[22:05]	DaemonFC	DS9 is sort of the 6000 SUX from Robocop version of Babylon 5.
[22:05]	DaemonFC	Underneath it all, they used a Pontiac, but then they grafted all this stuff on it that turned it into a parody of 80s excess.
[22:08]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[22:08]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:08]	DaemonFC	I think part of the reason the economy is fizzling out is because everything the rich have used as status symbols in the past is now everywhere and unlimited.
[22:08]	DaemonFC	MP3 turned music into an anarchist's dream because it meant unlimited copies for free of stuff that you used to have to queue up at the record store to unload 10 hours of minimum wage to buy.
[22:08]	DaemonFC	Remember Kevin Spacey in American Beauty reminiscing about working all week flipping burgers in high school to buy one Pink Floyd album?

[22:12]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:12]	DaemonFC	This "economy of digital goods" doesn't work if nobody agrees to play.
[22:12]	DaemonFC	"The rent is too damned high" so it's sparked a demand for file lockers, VPNs, Free and Open Source Software, and a new class of small computers that are "good enough".
[22:12]	DaemonFC	Microsoft and Apple are playing with fire. 
[22:12]	DaemonFC	In a dead economy, GNU/Linux (which doesn't demand much) on the next Pine Tab (8 GB/256GB) could be a disruptive and democratizing technology.

[22:20]	DaemonFC	When I was at my cousin's house, I noticed her husband and their son were gaming on Linux (former Windows laptop).
[22:20]	DaemonFC	I got to talking about Pop_OS! (what it ended up being) and Fedora (what I use at home).
[22:20]	DaemonFC	He says, "Yeah, it came with Windows 10, but man did it run like shit."
[22:20]	DaemonFC	I said, "Looks fairly new.".
[22:20]	DaemonFC	"Yeah."
[22:20]	DaemonFC	I said, "I bought a Tiger Lake i7 laptop late 2020, had the same problem. Jank. Not with Linux."
[22:20]	DaemonFC	Got in the car, told mom he was smarter than I thought. He never talks much.
[22:20]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[22:20]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:20]	DaemonFC	I don't know how anything has jank on a quad core with hyperthreading that can come close to 4 Ghz, and managed to double the performance of the SSD and graphics hardware vs. my 2016 PC, but Windows still managed.
[22:20]	DaemonFC	So that was awful.
[22:20]	DaemonFC	The worst thing about buying hardware, by far, that just hit the market, is plodding along somehow with Windows for a few months until enablement starts hitting the mainline Linux kernel.

[22:52]	DaemonFC	It surprises me how shitty Buick customer service is when you have a 2008 Buick and roll up to the dealership and offer to pay them to diagnose and fix it.
[22:52]	DaemonFC	They either have no idea what's wrong, say they have nobody around that remembers how to work on it, don't make that part anymore, etc.
[22:52]	DaemonFC	About the only things that they can do are fluid changes, filters, and transmission servicing.
[22:52]	DaemonFC	The only shop that can get parts and knows how to fix it is the local Car-X. :P

[22:54]	DaemonFC	It turns out that there are actually usually plenty of parts for a 2008 Buick, and the Buick dealer could use them if they wanted to.
[22:54]	DaemonFC	Delco still makes a lot of them, but there's a huge aftermarket (a lot of them are a universal fit for a Chevy Impala of that era too) so I'm usually not in trouble.
[22:54]	DaemonFC	Obviously nobody is making new Delco stereos and steering wheel PACs, so when those shorted out, I drove to Best Buy and got a Sony.
[22:54]	DaemonFC	They make good stereos.
[22:54]	DaemonFC	Little sad about losing MeTV FM though.

[23:08]	DaemonFC	The widespread acceptance of DRM with Apple customers must be like phantom limb syndrome or something.
[23:08]	DaemonFC	They always had the "one copy and it cost a lot of money" thing when they had books and CDs, so surely digital files are meant to be that way as well.

[23:11]	DaemonFC	The author I probably read the most when I was a child was probably Piers Anthony, actually.
[23:11]	DaemonFC	I always appreciated that the Xanth series was full of puns.
[23:11]	DaemonFC	Anyway, it's nice to see that the Censor Ship finally docked (with Docker?) at Twitter and that the users are quite incensed with it all.
[23:11]	DaemonFC	mjg59_ was choked by the incense from the Censor Ship.

[23:14]	DaemonFC	Companions of Xanth wasn't a terribly good DOS game (it probably still floats around on some abandonware site).
[23:14]	DaemonFC	The bookstore carried it and it was only a dollar more than the copy of Demons Don't Dream that it came with, so I just went ahead and bought it.
[23:14]	DaemonFC	The game's first disappointment (and definitely not the last) was that if you don't choose Nada Naga, then the other three Companions get you killed somehow right away.
