One of Mandy's coworkers took the Moderna booster, missed her period, and then freaked out and bought pregnancy tests. [11:09] DaemonFC Then she got her period a week and a half late. [11:09] schestowitz-TR psydroid2: is this the link I showed you last night? [11:09] schestowitz-TR but for "forums"? [11:09] DaemonFC That and the 500% higher heart inflammation. I told mom that they dosed everyone with some beta tests. [11:09] psydroid2 schestowitz-TR, yes [11:10] psydroid2 I am reading through the comments now [11:10] DaemonFC And only now are we starting to realize who guessed right and wrong. [11:10] schestowitz-TR psydroid2: good [11:10] schestowitz-TR I put that in techrights and tuaxmachines also, iirc [11:10] psydroid2 Bruce Hoult is a former SiFive employee who has also worked at Samsung among other companies [11:10] schestowitz-TR it's contamination [11:10] DaemonFC Luckily, I looked at the data that was out there and made an educated guess and got it right. [11:11] schestowitz-TR well, we work from home so we stayed in a sotr of 'bunker' [11:11] DaemonFC I'm not even sure why Moderna's product was approved given the higher risks. [11:11] schestowitz-TR without an actual bunker [11:11] DaemonFC Over the years to come, this will undoubtedly cause more health expenses. [11:11] schestowitz-TR here is one thing I will tell you [11:11] schestowitz-TR before we move back on topic [11:12] DaemonFC Even if few people get heart inflammation, the fact that it's 5 times more for no apparent benefit is troubling. [11:12] schestowitz-TR 2 weeks ago I went to book a routine blood test [11:12] schestowitz-TR I got my blood checked every 6 months [11:12] schestowitz-TR part of NHS [11:12] schestowitz-TR they said, [11:12] schestowitz-TR can you gom to another clinic? [11:12] schestowitz-TR why? [11:12] schestowitz-TR they said, [11:12] schestowitz-TR because we are over-capacity [11:12] schestowitz-TR (for blood test) [11:12] schestowitz-TR I said, [11:12] schestowitz-TR I can wait for a while, it's not urgent [11:12] schestowitz-TR so she booked me for a month later [11:13] schestowitz-TR I never had this happen before [11:13] DaemonFC Yeah, labs here aren't like that. It costs money so people don't go in there except as needed. [11:13] schestowitz-TR waiting for a month for a routine blood test [11:13] schestowitz-TR so my guess was, [11:13] DaemonFC You don't go in when you don't expect anything wrong. You'd do it like once a year unless something concerning happens. [11:13] schestowitz-TR 50 million Brits getting these agents in thje bloodstream leas to... stuff [11:13] schestowitz-TR *leads [11:14] DaemonFC 50 million Brits getting these agents in thje bloodstream leas to... stuff [11:14] schestowitz-TR I have tow best friends [11:14] schestowitz-TR (other than rianne) [11:14] DaemonFC That or good old Boris has cut their budget so badly that they want you to kindly fuck off so they can prioritize people who have medical problems. [11:14] schestowitz-TR Mark got his knees all swollen [11:14] DaemonFC Since they don't have the resources anymore. [11:14] schestowitz-TR the knee specialist told him this happened to lots of people after the AZ vaccine [11:14] schestowitz-TR his partner started getting brown marks [11:14] schestowitz-TR she showed me some [11:15] schestowitz-TR she's only 30 [11:15] schestowitz-TR Mark was violently ill [11:15] DaemonFC Routine monitoring isn't something they're going to prioritize if the government cuts their budget, even 10-20%. [11:15] schestowitz-TR and he's a world class athlete with trophies [11:15] schestowitz-TR his partner kept colapsing whole running [11:15] schestowitz-TR going unconscious [11:15] schestowitz-TR it kept happening [11:16] schestowitz-TR and the physicians could not figure out the cause or how to prevent these [11:16] DaemonFC Oh yes, and one of Mandy's friends went to the Philippines and got that stupid AZ shot when he could have gotten the Pfizer one here. [11:16] DaemonFC Now if he gets a booster it can't even match because AZ isn't approved here. [11:16] DaemonFC It was never approved here, not even for emergency use. [11:16] DaemonFC And in the mean time, he got COVID anyway, within a few months after the second dose. [11:16] schestowitz-TR anyway, back to tech [11:17] schestowitz-TR psydroid2: risc-v will be ruined by beurocracy [11:17] schestowitz-TR like linux foundation [11:17] schestowitz-TR there will be an influix from rivals [11:17] schestowitz-TR just like happened in OSI, maybe even FSFE and FSF [11:17] schestowitz-TR these are assimilation tacticsa [11:17] schestowitz-TR and the weapon of choice is money [11:17] DaemonFC Linux is COVID, and climate change, and blockchain. [11:17] DaemonFC Linux is also a Code of Conduct. [11:17] schestowitz-TR if a person is stubborn and principled [11:18] schestowitz-TR theny engineer s a scandal [11:18] psydroid2 schestowitz-TR, this time around I expect it to just be forked outright, which is also legal [11:18] schestowitz-TR like replacing Torvalds with a loser like Zemlin [11:18] DaemonFC Linux is also a program for AIDS relief. [11:18] psydroid2 once the ISA has all the extensions you need, who needs approval from the RISC-V Foundation or the US? [11:19] DaemonFC Linux Foundation wants to save the trees, save the bees, save those whales, save some snails. [11:20] psydroid2 we might see RUS-V, VEGA-V, XING-V spring up in some time [11:20] DaemonFC Whatever Bill and LOLITA Gates Foundation is into, that's what Linux is into. [11:20] psydroid2 all looking just like RISC-V with some changes [11:20] DaemonFC You can take $50 billion and double in in 20 years by giving it away. [11:21] DaemonFC What was it? 6% of their budget for Linux the kernel, at the Linux Foundation? [11:21] DaemonFC And there's no telling what that even means because they didn't say how that was being spent. [11:22] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR, "Corrupt Charity". [11:22] DaemonFC They should lose their tax exempt status for spending more money getting more money (fundraising) than they do on Linux. [11:23] DaemonFC It's well known that they cook the books on fundraising too. [11:23] DaemonFC The Shedd Aquarium sells memberships and then they have special dinners for their members "on the house" every month. The whole thing is catered in. [11:23] DaemonFC It's really quite nice. [11:27] DaemonFC The efficiency gap of fundraising is terrible because it's a way for rich people to amuse themselves and write it off their taxes. [11:28] psydroid2 schestowitz-TR, the thing is that as the US you have designed a great new ISA in Berkeley for chips ranging from applications for everything from microcontrollers to supercomputers, but since you have existing companies to protect based on "so-called exceptional" x86, other countries are running away with the technology [11:29] psydroid2 so who is really at fault here? the dinosaurs or the next generation of reptiles?

[13:27] DaemonFC For some reason, Microsoft and Apple waste a ton of space with humongous icons, and Microsoft has been doing that for a long time. [13:28] DaemonFC Windows 95's shell didn't do that, but Windows 98's did. [13:28] DaemonFC When I put the Windows 95 shell back in after removing Internet Explorer from 98, I always liked how much extra screen space I had. [13:28] DaemonFC When you have to use a 1024x768 resolution, those gigantic buttons aren't nice. [13:29] psydroid2 the last Windows I seriously used for everything was 2000 [13:29] DaemonFC Opera defaulted to big buttons too, but you could change that. [13:29] psydroid2 but one disaster led me to move everything over to GNU/Linux [13:29] DaemonFC Screen space was too valuable for big buttons, but everyone did them anyway.

Apparently, no humans are ever involved. Computer matching software sees if your income and deductions and credits sound right and it assigns each return a "risk score" from 000 to 999. [21:10] DaemonFC The closer to 999 it gets, the more risky the return, and the more likely the computer is to assign it for an audit. People who have been audited before are automatically "riskier" so they start with a "penalty" assigned to their SSN or ITIN in future years and are more likely to be audited again because of this. [21:11] DaemonFC What makes a return "riskier" is if it claims widely abused credits, credits that are obviously not allowed given what's on the rest of the return, "nice round numbers", and income that significantly deviates from what the IRS already had on file. [21:11] DaemonFC There's no actual need to file a return, Congress just prevents the IRS from sending you one that's already completed, for free, for your review, to prop up a tax return software industry. [21:11] DaemonFC Where you have to calculate what the IRS already knows, and pay a tax firm to submit it. [21:11] DaemonFC And possibly get something wrong. [21:12] DaemonFC Republicans were the strongest opposition. They claimed that they were concerned that the IRS wouldn't have your best interests in mind when preparing a tax return and might not give you all of the credits you deserve. [21:12] DaemonFC But that's ridiculous. You could always amend it and send it back and tell them why, and it would be no more of a hassle than filing a return is today.
