[00:07]	DaemonFC	I like how they never just shoot Bond in the head and THEN dump him in the desert.

[00:09]	DaemonFC	Mint. LOL
[00:10]	DaemonFC	Why do people who work at Microsoft need to access their paycheck before payday?
[00:10]	DaemonFC	This is something that like, fucking Little Caesars does for people who are back there making pizza for minimum wage.

[04:42]	schestowitz[TR]	they always did
[04:42]	schestowitz[TR]	but the gap widened
[04:43]	DaemonFC	Microsoft's XBOX is rooted in anti-Asian racism.
[04:43]	psydruid	this is not on any of my computers but on my mum's laptop I've created accounts from some of her grandchildren including one for my nephew
[04:43]	schestowitz[TR]	DaemonFC: how so?
[04:44]	DaemonFC	The Project to create DirectX was to wipe out the Japanese from the market, so they called it "The Manhattan Project" and gave it a radiation symbol.
[04:44]	schestowitz[TR]	you mean, "not japan"?
[04:44]	psydruid	and there I've installed Steam and Lutris
[04:44]	DaemonFC	DirectX was always going to be in a game console in the end.
[04:44]	schestowitz[TR]	with DRM
[04:45]	DaemonFC	Yeah, Bill Gates had his "thoughts on the future" of course.
[04:45]	DaemonFC	Where "in the future" you would just license and download "content" and it would be locked to that particular machine.
[04:45]	schestowitz[TR]	did he finishh college?
[04:45]	DaemonFC	The XBOX One.
[04:45]	schestowitz[TR]	did "mom" help him achieve this goal?
[04:45]	DaemonFC	The only reason the XBOX and XBOX 360 didn't do that much is because the storage wasn't there.
[04:46]	schestowitz[TR]	bill is the maxwell (maiden name) that did not have sex with jeffrey epstein
[04:46]	DaemonFC	They depended on DVDs, even when this was comically insufficient for the XBOX 360 era and they had to downres games and cut content from the game that was in the PS3 version.
[04:46]	schestowitz[TR]	i see
[04:46]	schestowitz[TR]	well, anyway, all consoles suck
[04:46]	schestowitz[TR]	even steam deck
[04:46]	DaemonFC	Rockstar said they were amazed they could do a version of GTA V on the 360 at all.
[04:46]	schestowitz[TR]	they are basically hardware gone wrong
[04:46]	schestowitz[TR]	limited artificicxally
[04:47]	schestowitz[TR]	to get you to buy and buy and buy
[04:47]	schestowitz[TR]	or rather, rent
[04:47]	schestowitz[TR]	DRM
[04:47]	DaemonFC	They said they were constantly constrained by either DVD or by the amount of RAM or how much they could ask of the graphics processor.
[04:47]	DaemonFC	The PS3 and PS4 versions are better.
[04:47]	schestowitz[TR]	Rockstar are thugs anyway
[04:47]	schestowitz[TR]	copyright fiends
[04:47]	schestowitz[TR]	I liked Max Payne
[04:47]	DaemonFC	The soundtrack is bigger, the radio stations have more songs, the graphics are higher resolution and not jagged, they didn't have to cut the "in-car" camera angle.
[04:48]	schestowitz[TR]	Rockstar's classic
[04:48]	DaemonFC	It runs at a higher frame rate.
[04:48]	schestowitz[TR]	but could only play that on a machine that was not mine
[04:48]	DaemonFC	They had to scuttle a lot to make the XBOX 360 version play at all.
[04:48]	DaemonFC	Now that Microsoft is firing from "343 Industries" we know what's going on.

[04:49]	schestowitz[TR]	and do a blog post
[04:49]	DaemonFC	The "IP" they kept from Bungie is not going to help them anymore, so they fire.
[04:49]	schestowitz[TR]	I only know xbox lost them a ton of money
[04:49]	DaemonFC	To point out what this means for XBOX...
[04:49]	schestowitz[TR]	stopped keeping track around 2011
[04:49]	schestowitz[TR]	http://techrights.org/wiki/XBox_Reality_Log
[04:49]	DaemonFC	It would be like Nintendo gutting the division that makes Super Mario games.
[04:49]	TR Bot	 XBox Reality Log - Techrights
[04:49]	DaemonFC	If they do that, it would mean no more Nintendo.
[04:49]	schestowitz[TR]	there was one regular here in irc from microsoft uk
[04:50]	DaemonFC	So Microsoft is cutting into the "Super Mario" of XBOX, the Halo stuff.
[04:50]	schestowitz[TR]	he worked for some gaming studio
[04:50]	schestowitz[TR]	taken by microsoft
[04:50]	schestowitz[TR]	of course microsoft shut them down
[04:50]	schestowitz[TR]	something called lion or brave heart something
[04:50]	DaemonFC	If you're cutting into Halo, it means you no longer think the XBOX Division is worth it.
[04:50]	schestowitz[TR]	you would know which ine..
[04:50]	schestowitz[TR]	*one
[04:51]	DaemonFC	These are First Party games that they dump a lot of money into to convince people to buy the console.
[04:51]	schestowitz[TR]	or sonic for sega
[04:51]	DaemonFC	Then they branch out and buy third party once they own the thing.
[04:51]	DaemonFC	Yeah, it's just not good business to be cutting into your First Party stuff.
[04:51]	DaemonFC	You want a strong franchise that never gets releases for anything else that forces people to decide, and they choose yours.
[04:52]	DaemonFC	Nintendo does AAA First Party stuff and they do it so well that their customers don't even care that they're always #3 in hardware by speed, graphics, RAM sizes.
[04:52]	DaemonFC	You see Nintendo and you know you're getting strong First Party titles that nobody else has.
[04:52]	DaemonFC	You don't really stare at specifications.
[04:53]	DaemonFC	Microsoft turned it into a dick measuring contest, and they're losing it badly.
[04:53]	DaemonFC	After 8 failed consoles from Microsoft, I sold it on Craigslist.
[04:53]	DaemonFC	And I've only had a Nintendo ever since.
[04:53]	psydruid	Microsoft has made it even easier by moving to an x86 PC based platform that you can emulate or rather virtualise on any modern general-purpose x86 computer
[04:54]	DaemonFC	The XBOX is expensive, it's fucking crap, the DRM situation is horrid.
[04:54]	psydruid	so there is little reason to ever buy an Xbox anymore
[04:54]	DaemonFC	You know, the Switch is a good console. It's very easy to use.
[04:54]	DaemonFC	It has a lot of good games.
[04:54]	DaemonFC	It's not insanely expensive.
[04:54]	DaemonFC	It doesn't use a lot of power (it's portable too).
[04:55]	DaemonFC	It doesn't sit there and cook itself to death.
[04:55]	schestowitz[TR]	psydruid: remember the wsl shill here in irc?
[04:55]	schestowitz[TR]	forgot his name
[04:55]	schestowitz[TR]	he vanished anyway
[04:55]	DaemonFC	It doesn't have a company that spends billions of dollars on a "really nice looking bathroom" in the level that serves no purpose to the game.
[04:55]	DaemonFC	They run a tight ship.
[04:55]	schestowitz[TR]	went to rancher
[04:55]	schestowitz[TR]	no more wsl
[04:55]	psydruid	matlock
[04:55]	psydruid	Hayden Barnes
[04:56]	DaemonFC	The XBOX has a lot of problems.
[04:56]	schestowitz[TR]	yeah
[04:56]	DaemonFC	It's not fun and they've gotten way too greedy.
[04:56]	DaemonFC	And there's consequences now.
[04:56]	schestowitz[TR]	the only microsofter still here is doxxing, swatting, stabbing,defaming
[04:56]	psydruid	I remember because I called him out and went really hard against him
[04:56]	DaemonFC	You can't just sit there throwing money at something.
[04:57]	psydruid	but he deserved to for writing crap here during his "holidays"
[04:57]	DaemonFC	You have to have engineers that understand what they're building. You have to have artists, level designers, people who understand gameplay mechanics.
[04:57]	DaemonFC	The XBOX Hardware is just insanely bad. Nobody sat there and said "These are the games we want to do, and we'll build the machine from there.".
[04:58]	DaemonFC	THey just get on the horn with Intel and AMD and say "Send us some PC shit.".
[04:58]	schestowitz[TR]	at one point he created his own company and iirc distro for wsl
[04:58]	schestowitz[TR]	before canonical picked up this perp
[04:58]	schestowitz[TR]	a lot of canonical wsl people left
[04:58]	schestowitz[TR]	inc. the cto
[04:58]	schestowitz[TR]	probably disgusted
[04:58]	schestowitz[TR]	inc. barnes
[04:58]	schestowitz[TR]	prior to him branding himself "unix" guy he just worked at some court
[04:58]	schestowitz[TR]	nothing even technical iirc
[04:58]	DaemonFC	Everything should have a purpose or not be there. Overdesign kills projects.
[04:59]	schestowitz[TR]	or maybe some microsoft vucketboy

[04:59]	schestowitz[TR]	anyway, lots suspicious about it

[04:59]	schestowitz[TR]	wsl... failed
[04:59]	schestowitz[TR]	canonical... failed
[04:59]	schestowitz[TR]	but who gained?
[04:59]	schestowitz[TR]	microsoft
[04:59]	schestowitz[TR]	canonical is losing many geeks
[04:59]	DaemonFC	XBOX failing all by itself will be a massive black eye for Microsoft.
[04:59]	psydruid	if they hadn't done it they would have been wiped from the consumer gaming market by now
[04:59]	schestowitz[TR]	they don't tolerate working for windows pushers
● Jan 22
[05:00]	DaemonFC	I think what we're going to witness is a "strategic retreat" from money losers.
[05:00]	DaemonFC	And most of that is in the consumer sector.
[05:00]	DaemonFC	At some point you'll hear that the XBOX is unsupported and there is no replacement and everyone there is fired.
[05:01]	psydruid	and that would have signalled the beginning of the end of Microsoft in the general consumer market
[05:01]	schestowitz[TR]	"unixterminal"
[05:01]	schestowitz[TR]	not even LINUX

[06:37]	DaemonFC	"Say, for example, youve attained streak-free plate glass windows and an egret happens to meet its abrupt demise flying into one of them. Are you a federal criminal? The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit once held that it would offend reason and common sense to convict someone for that kind of bird death. Still, the court held that [s]uch situations properly can be left to the sound discretion of prosecutors 
[06:38]	DaemonFC	and the courts.2 In other words, you can be federally charged with causing a bird death even if your only weapon is a bottle of glass cleaner, but you should just trust that prosecutors will use appropriate discretion in deciding whether to indict you or not."
[06:38]	DaemonFC	"In fact, accidental bird killers have been charged. In 2013, North Carolina utility giant Duke Energy was criminally charged for failing to prevent the deaths of birds in the blades of its bloodthirsty wind turbines."
[06:39]	DaemonFC	Yeah, and in Matt GULAG-land of California.... Fruits, nuts, and flakes, they did that solar collector tower, Ivanpah.

[06:41]	DaemonFC	"The bottom line is that you either will or wont be indicted for accidentally killing a bird depending on who is president, who is a federal prosecutor, andmost importantlyif anyone finds out."
[06:41]	DaemonFC	Which is where the saying "Shoot, Shovel, and Shut-up!" comes from.
[06:43]	DaemonFC	"A person can also become a federal criminal by killing a type of goose thats not covered by the program. Only a resident Canada goose may be hunted under a population control permit, which the law defines as a Canada goose who nests in the lower forty-eight states in the months of March, April, May, or June, or resides within the lower forty-eight states and the District of Columbia in the months of April, May, June, July, or August.
[06:43]	DaemonFC	If you should happen to shoot a Canada goose without first asking its place of residence and travel habits, you risk killing a goose who is just vacationing."

[07:18]	TR Bot	 Go see Proxistant Vision at SFMCD Pete Warden's blog
[07:18]	DaemonFC	Step 1: Panic. This is healthy, and its a natural part of the process. Dont forget, you have an eagle in your house.
[07:18]	DaemonFC	Step 2: Cry a little. Remember: eagle in the house.
[07:18]	DaemonFC	Step 3: Apply for your permit.
[07:18]	DaemonFC	Step 4: Wait for a decision. By law, the regional migratory bird permit office will not issue a permit unless the director determines that your removal of the eagle is compatible with the preservation of the bald or golden eagle. If the director decides the eagle is better off living with you for a while, move on to Step 5.
[07:18]	DaemonFC	Step 5: Accept it. You live with a bald eagle now. Try to make the best of it and respect each others space. "

[07:19]	DaemonFC	Most states endorse some form of the castle doctrine, which permits a homeowner to use deadly force against a violent intruder in his or her home. But this is a bald eagle were talking about, not just some stupid person, so that defense doesnt apply. Getting rid of this intruder without a permit cant be done without a little lawbreaking."

[07:21]	DaemonFC	"Unfortunately, Wikipedia doesnt have an entry for eagle removal, so its really anybodys guess on how to go about the removal or what constitutes appropriate eagle-removal gear. Presumably, though, offenders will at least want to have eye protection and some rubber gloves. Coupled with some sort of implement for guiding the eagle out of the house, this makeshift setup may give you just the right level of confidence 
[07:21]	DaemonFC	to calmly approach an eagle and bring the situation to a peaceful end.
[07:21]	DaemonFC	But none of that is realistic. If you try to remove an eagle from your house, its totally going to attack you. (See Fig. 2-15.) Even if the risk of federal charges wasnt enough to deter you from this plan, knowing the pain of eight razor-sharp raptor talons in your back probably would have done it. But its too late now. This is why its important to always read ahead."
[07:22]	DaemonFC	"Anyway, the good news is that youll probably pass out shortly into your tangle with the eagle, either from panic or blood loss. Eventually the eagle will have had enough of your pathetic display and leave through whatever window it was that you stupidly left open in the first place. Problem solved."

[08:20]	DaemonFC	"In 2009, a grand jury indicted a man named Bernard von NotHaus under both statutes.8 Despite his name, von NotHaus wasnt indicted for being a Bond villain. The government alleged that he had minted coins of his own design called Liberty Dollars and that they were made to look like U.S. coins. The indictment also alleged that von NotHaus intended to introduce the Liberty Dollar coins into the U.S. economy in order to compete with
[08:20]	DaemonFC	 U.S. currency. The government didnt like that, so it charged him under both Section 485 and Section 486.
[08:20]	DaemonFC	At trial, the government called a professional numismatist as an expert witness to weigh in on the similarities between the Liberty Dollars and genuine U.S. coins. He noted the use of reeded edges, a serif font, phrases like In God We Trust, and the word Liberty were all attributes shared by the coins.
[08:20]	DaemonFC	Also important was the Liberty Dollars use of the Statue of Liberty on one of its sides. That iconic symbol of liberty, coupled with the other factors the government numismatist identified, were sufficient for a finding that von NotHaus had made coins with sufficient similitude to authentic U.S. coins. The jury found von NotHaus guilty on all counts of the indictment."

[08:32]	DaemonFC	"One of the reasons that our prisons arent yet full of food criminals is that the FDA and USDA like to handle things their own way. Violations of food regulations are often addressed out of court by a strongly worded letter to the food maker telling them to get their act together or else. In late 2017 a Massachusetts bakery learned this the hard way after it had the temerity to list love as an ingredient in its granola bars. Th
[08:32]	DaemonFC	e FDA sent the bakery a letter warning that Love is not a common or usual name of an ingredient, and is considered to be intervening material because it is not part of the common or usual name of the ingredient. According to the FDA, this rendered the granola bars misbranded under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and subjected the bakery to sanctions. The FDA stopped short of noting that listing love as an ing
[08:32]	DaemonFC	redient could also be charged as a federal crime.7
[08:32]	DaemonFC	The moral of the story, of course, is that if youre going to make your food with love, the FDA wants you to please just shut up about it. And if love is a euphemism for some other ingredient, youd better tell us what it is right now.
[08:32]	DaemonFC	Yet, even if the FDAs granola letter demonstrated its deep disdain for love, another of its warning letters revealed that the agency might actually have a soft spot, and that soft spot is mayonnaise. In mid-2015 the FDA issued a warning to a company for selling vegan mayo. According to the FDA, it was necessarily misbranded because real mayonnaise contains eggs, and vegan mayonnaise is made out of whatever the heck vegan mayonnai
[08:32]	DaemonFC	se is made out of. In a heartwarming twist, however, the FDA and the mayo company later announced that they had met to discuss the issues cited in the warning letter and worked together to address them.8"

[08:57]	DaemonFC	For those of us refined enough to know when and where to use ketchup properly, there is some good news: federal regulations classify ketchup as a vegetable. That makes it a lot easier to justify a pile of french fries as a healthy choice.
[08:57]	DaemonFC	Although federal law may not regulate the appropriate uses of ketchup, it does regulate its consistency. Specifically, 21 C.F.R. 155.194 provides that ketchup may not flow at a rate faster than 14 centimeters in 30 seconds at 20C, as measured by a Bostwick Consistometer. (See Fig. 4-12.) Any faster and it fails to meet the standard of identity for ketchup, making it a misbranded food under 21 U.S.C. 343(h). Thus, while y
[08:57]	DaemonFC	ou may break your hand trying to get it out of the bottle, at least you can know your thick ketchup is legal.
[08:57]	DaemonFC	For the offender who respects precision, federal law provides a detailed road map for measuring and perfecting the ideal level of ketchup runniness.

[09:21]	DaemonFC	"Federal law also specifies the ways that ketchup may be spelled on the bottle. Subsection (a)(3)(i) of the federal ketchup regulation allows for just three permissible spellings:
[09:21]	DaemonFC	 Ketchup;
[09:21]	DaemonFC	 Catsup; and
[09:21]	DaemonFC	 Catchup.
[09:21]	DaemonFC	"
[09:21]	DaemonFC	"That means federal prosecutors are powerless against the kind of monster who would spell it catchup. Congress must act."
[09:21]	DaemonFC	Today I learned that I can call ketchup "catchup" and I'm legally correct and that the prosecutor is powerless to stop me.

[09:25]	DaemonFC	"The most egregious federal crime that can be committed in a can of fruit cocktail, however, has absolutely nothing to do with pineapples. 21 C.F.R. 145.135(a)(2)(v) requires fruit cocktail to contain at least 2 percent cherries. Any less and the can becomes a misbranded food itemthat is, unless the cocktailer discloses on the label that the food is substandard fruit cocktail."
[09:25]	DaemonFC	I hate cherries and federal law makes it illegal to sell me a cherry-free fruit cocktail.
[09:27]	DaemonFC	Cherry-flavored Coke is okay though, sometimes.
[09:29]	DaemonFC	"The FDA is tasked with the awesome responsibility of keeping Americas food supply safe. But eating a few bugs here and a little feces there never hurt anyone, right? At least, thats the FDAs position. In the agencys words, its economically impractical to grow, harvest, or process raw products that are totally free of nonhazardous, naturally occurring, unavoidable defects. By unavoidable defects, thou
[09:29]	DaemonFC	gh, the FDA means mold, bugs, rat hair, mammal feces, and parasites, among other things.
[09:29]	DaemonFC	But relax, theyre nonhazardous. Okay?
[09:29]	DaemonFC	The FDA publishes a list of defect action levels, which establishes just how much filth the FDA will let slide in raw food products.15 For example, canned or frozen asparagus can contain an average of forty thrips per 100 grams of asparagus before the FDA will consider it adulterated. Whats a thrip? Just a tiny winged insect that you can apparently eat a ton of without noticing."
[09:30]	DaemonFC	"Canned or frozen spinach has its own surprises. Every 24 pounds of it can have a total of 12 millimeters of caterpillar. Thus, three 2-millimeter caterpillars are okay, but two 7-millimeter caterpillars are a little too much."
[09:31]	DaemonFC	"Cornmeal is a real grab bag. The FDA wants it to have less than one whole insect per 50 grams, twenty-five insect fragments per 25 grams, and one rodent hair per 25 grams or one piece of rodent excrement per 50 grams."
[09:32]	DaemonFC	"According to government cheese statistics, Americans eat more than 35 pounds of cheese per person every year."
[09:32]	DaemonFC	Government cheese. :)
[09:32]	DaemonFC	There's a lot of dad humor in this book.
[09:33]	DaemonFC	I liked the part about United States v. Kenneth Brown, where Mr. Brown was found with $20 bills in his ass.

[09:37]	DaemonFC	"For a USDA rating of C, eyes may be collapsed, irregular, dull, frog mouth, uneven, gassy, or dead eyes, to name a few.17 To be clear, these terms refer to the cheese, not the cheesemaker. The law permits cheesemakers to have dead eyes no matter what kind of cheese they are selling."
[09:40]	DaemonFC	"Grated cheese is the class of foods prepared by grinding, grating, shredding, or otherwise comminuting [chopping up] cheese of one variety or a mixture of two or more varieties. However, 21 C.F.R. 133.146(a) is clear that cream cheese, neufchatel cheese, cottage cheese, creamed cottage cheese, cook cheese, and skim milk cheese for manufacturing may not be used (emphasis added) to make grated cheese."
[09:40]	DaemonFC	"To be fair, this is actually pretty good advice nestled within a federal regulation. Grating cream cheese is a frustrating and mostly futile endeavor. But the law is the law: introducing a product called grated cheese into interstate commerce is a federal crime if its made from cream cheese. Predictably, there are no reported cases of people being prosecuted for selling grated cream cheese. After all, its punishment enough 
[09:40]	DaemonFC	to have to clean a cheese grater full of cream cheese."

[21:32]	mjg59_	schestowitz[TR]: I think you're confused about how the technical committee works
[21:32]	mjg59_	schestowitz[TR]: Nobody could "put" me there. I nominated myself and the board chose to elect me.
[21:33]	mjg59_	Er, s/board/committee
[21:39]	DaemonFC	You mean the hacks and cronies that were already there.
[21:39]	DaemonFC	Like how Mitch Daniels appointed the board of Purdue, then they appointed him after he left the Governor's office.
[21:39]	DaemonFC	Then once he was at Purdue, there was a banned book list.
[21:40]	DaemonFC	Eventually, things got so bad that Indiana University filed to get out of IUPUI and IPFW because they had a reputation to maintain.
[21:41]	DaemonFC	You mean they put you on Debian because of a similar arrangement and bad things will come of it and the idea is that you and the other trolls will finish Debian off and remove a threat to Microsoft.
[21:41]	DaemonFC	You already had most of your work done for you I suppose.
[21:41]	DaemonFC	It doesn't seem like they actually know what they're doing with packaging and integration. If anything, it's gotten worse.
[21:42]	DaemonFC	The Debian/Ubuntu world is sort of dead already as far as where the community is off to.
[21:43]	DaemonFC	It happened for a lot of reasons inclusing woke-ism, but mostly because of the breakdown in technical quality.
[21:43]	DaemonFC	If the worst thing going on with a software project is trannies with blue hair raging about microaggressions on a Web site, well, you can just not go to that Web site presuming the software works.
[21:44]	DaemonFC	So there's more to this, like Firefox, than that.
[21:44]	DaemonFC	The technical superiority is gone. It's gone from meritocracy with ideals to a kakistokracy with Matt GULAG.
[21:45]	DaemonFC	If the worst thing about Firefox was the "political party" problem at Mozilla, well, don't go there except to the download page, maybe.
[21:45]	DaemonFC	But Mozilla is malware that is barely even Web compatible.
[21:45]	DaemonFC	So why use it?
[21:46]	DaemonFC	The biggest ways the "Web platform" changes in Firefox is when they blind-copy stuff out of Chromium and change some lines to shim it up to Firefox.
[21:46]	DaemonFC	Gecko development hardly even happens anymore.
[21:46]	DaemonFC	They have enough people to cargo cult Chrome (barely) and plug CVEs.
[21:47]	DaemonFC	I think there are probably more people taskes with adding and maintaining the malware in Firefox than there are Firefox itself.
[21:47]	DaemonFC	*tasked
[21:49]	DaemonFC	When malware was a new concept and was relatively primitive, I took the initiative in helping devise solutions to get it off of people's computers or to render it inoperable.
[21:49]	DaemonFC	At first, the malware authors primarily took advantage of the fact that most people didn't know anything about computers, much less why their Windows machine was popping up porn sites and hijacking their Web browser.
[21:50]	DaemonFC	So it was crude, bundled with something, and didn't really anticipate the user taking steps to get rid of it.
[21:51]	DaemonFC	Eventually "fighting back" against programs to remove it was a priority, because enough people were affected that there was a cottage industry for removal software for it.
[21:51]	DaemonFC	I'm primarily not talking about viruses because anti-virus software had been around for years.
[21:51]	DaemonFC	Today, Firefox is malware. It's built right into the binary, and you can't call it Firefox if you remove it.
[21:52]	DaemonFC	When you type anything into the address bar, Firefox sends it to three places. Google, Mozilla Pocket, and an "advertising partner" that runs "Suggest".
[21:52]	DaemonFC	So it's a keylogger transmitting to at least three organizations.
[21:53]	DaemonFC	Sarbanes-Oxley requires them to not throw anything away.
[21:53]	DaemonFC	So if you start typing in "the wrong thing" into Firefox, well, they know you did it, and it's there forever, and not one, not two, but three companies can be hit by a warrant.
[21:54]	DaemonFC	But even if that doesn't happen, they're doing it to drive three separate ad systems too.
[21:54]	DaemonFC	And ads suck.
[21:55]	DaemonFC	They create a profile of your computer and how you use Firefox. How many tabs do you use? What times of the day are you opening it? How long does it run per session? All kinds of stuff. And that gets assigned a GUID and associated with Firefox Account.
[21:55]	DaemonFC	Along with your entire browser history and all of your bookmarks and passwords. And they can decrypt them.
[21:56]	DaemonFC	Again, Sarbanes-Oxley.
[21:56]	DaemonFC	The only thing that happens when you press delete is that you lose your copy.
[21:56]	DaemonFC	Don't you love California?
[21:57]	DaemonFC	mjg59_, Debian is not Free Software.
[21:57]	DaemonFC	They don't even pretend to be anymore.
[21:57]	DaemonFC	But even if they were, it's not good. They don't set anything up properly.
[21:58]	DaemonFC	It's an integration mess. The whole thing is a rats nest of software in configurations it was not designed to work in.
[21:58]	DaemonFC	A 14 year old could set up Gentoo better than this.
[21:58]	DaemonFC	Are you going to fix any of that or are you just going to scream about who needs to be canceled?
● Jan 22
[22:00]	DaemonFC	I think you're just going to bring toxicity and drama while the technical problems get worse.
[22:01]	DaemonFC	Most of the "Linux" complaints I've seen from people tend to center on something I've only ever witnessed Debian or Ubuntu doing.

[22:09]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:09]	DaemonFC	What went wrong with ZFS on Ubuntu?
[22:09]	DaemonFC	Simply (in no particular order):
[22:09]	DaemonFC	Canonical got quack legal advice that it was lawful to combine two incompatible licenses.
[22:09]	DaemonFC	The upstream Linux kernel disavowed it and removed deprecated kernel features that ended up crippling ZFS performance.
[22:09]	DaemonFC	It doesn't fit most use cases very well, it loses data without non-default debugging options, and it was overdesigned by Sun.
[22:09]	DaemonFC	BtrFS got massively better lately.
[22:09]	DaemonFC	Canonical lacks engineering experience of this caliber.
[22:11]	phanes	mjg59_, right and you just so happened to take the spot left by someone behind a smear campaign and harassment mob targeted at RMS using the same tactics and strategy youve used against every person youve ever targeted
[22:12]	phanes	mjg59_, is that a coincidence or are you just banking on no one realiing that?
[22:14]	DaemonFC	Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
[22:14]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:14]	DaemonFC	I've maintained a heavily modified variant of some Linux distributions for my own use, and on my worst day, I never hacked anything together as badly as Canonical does, even though I never released it for anyone else.
[22:14]	DaemonFC	If I did something and ran into a bug and I didn't understand quite what went wrong, I'd stop, investigate, and back it out because I didn't want my own data to get corrupted.
[22:14]	DaemonFC	Ubuntu has very low standards. They pour a lot of money into suboptimal solutions just to throw away.
[22:14]	mjg59_	phanes: Elana retired from the committee last July, and a replacement (not me) was appointed then
[22:15]	phanes	mjg59_, so was it a lie or the truth when you said that she invited you to the committee she sat on

[22:24]	phanes	mjg59_, so instead of pretending that people who criticise you are "confused" idiots, why don't you use your big boy words and explain the real link

[22:28]	phanes	yes, false light is a form of dishonesty
[22:28]	phanes	i realize this is a deeply engrained part of your personality but i make no allowance
[22:28]	mjg59_	It was suggested that I nominate myself for the technical committee, and I did so. The existing members (who, at that point, did not include Elana) voted to appoint me. That's the whole story. Sorry.
[22:29]	mjg59_	If Elana had some sort of magical backchannel power to convince the other members to vote for me, that's not something I have any insight into
[22:29]	mjg59_	If there's a plot here, I'm an unaware participant being used by others
[22:30]	phanes	side chats are not magical, and are regular on most committees and groups of decision makers, like boards
[22:30]	phanes	there you are using another associative label to discredit
[22:30]	mjg59_	But, being unaware, I can't provide any insight into anything other than what I've provided
[22:30]	mjg59_	If you want to know why people voted for me, ask them
[22:30]	mjg59_	(I mean ideally don't because you'll be wasting their time, but)

[22:32]	mjg59_	Well, you keep asking me questions
[22:32]	phanes	mjg59_, yes, i do, and you keep evading them
[22:33]	mjg59_	I am unaware of any effort by the Debian technical committee to retain membership by people who you'd describe as serial defamers
[22:33]	phanes	at any rate, that arrogance of yours is proving very useful
[22:34]	phanes	as long as you think im some dumb conspiracy theorist ill continue to gain an inch a year
[22:35]	DaemonFC	BtrFS's support for Compress with ZStd makes it more optimal for flash storage.
[22:35]	DaemonFC	Avoiding write operations which wear SSDs down quicker.
[22:35]	mjg59_	Given we're about 2000 miles apart, I'm ok with an inch a year
[22:36]	phanes	mjg59_, what i would suggest instead of practicing evasions and witty fortune cookie one-liners on irc is that you dedicate your remaining years of work to healing the damage you've caused to others
[22:37]	phanes	instead of trying to trip people up with definitional challenges to undermine criticism you should be healing the conditions which result in your criticism
[22:38]	DaemonFC	Avoiding unnecessary SSD writes is a good idea.
[22:39]	phanes	mjg59_, ill finish off my rant with this:  simply stopping is not enough.
[22:39]	mjg59_	Thank
[22:39]	mjg59_	s
[22:40]	DaemonFC	Although, SSDs have gotten more reliable.
[22:40]	DaemonFC	I got my first one like 10 years ago. It cost a fair bit and there wasn't much room on it.
[22:45]	DaemonFC	The whole notion of ZFS on Linux has been insane.
[22:45]	DaemonFC	Who cares if the US government is funding it. That doesn't make it legal. Have you ever tried suing the federal government.
[22:45]	DaemonFC	Good luck with that.
[22:49]	phanes	people are constantly suing the federal government and winning
[22:49]	phanes	its part of how our system works
[22:56]	phanes	mjg59_, you should make yourself useful and submit a pull request to implement execute_pty(): https://github.com/cmpunches/lcpex/blob/master/src/liblcpex.cpp#L187
[22:56]	TR Bot	at master cmpunches/lcpex GitHub
[22:56]	DaemonFC	Nobody sues the government and wins.
[22:56]	DaemonFC	They steal money from me and give it to the person THEY harmed.
[22:57]	DaemonFC	That would be like saying I got caught speeding, so they give mjg59_ the ticket.
[22:57]	phanes	DaemonFC, it happens everyday all over the country. Laws are constantly overturned and municipalities sanctioned as a result when overreach is determined.
[22:57]	DaemonFC	I mean, that'll sure teach me not to speed.
[22:57]	DaemonFC	That's how police brutality lawsuits against the city work.
[22:58]	phanes	yeah i mean, state courts often make rulings they know are unconstitutional to push a case to a higher court
[22:58]	DaemonFC	FROM NOW ON, WHENEVER PRIVATE PYLE FUCKS UP, HE WILL NOT BE PUNISHED! INSTEAD ALL OF YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!
[22:58]	DaemonFC	HERE'S YOUR DONUT! THEY'RE PAYING FOR IT! YOU EAT IT!!!

[22:59]	DaemonFC	I wonder if mjg59_ has seen that movie.
● Jan 22
[23:00]	phanes	i dont think full metal jacket has enough alt progressiveness for that guy
[23:00]	DaemonFC	The drill sergeant couldn't beat "Pyle" up, so he got everyone else good and pissed by making them do pushups while he had to stand there and eat the donut.
[23:00]	phanes	may need to hold out for the gender-swapped version with mandatory alt-lifestyle characters, at least 3 furries 
[23:01]	DaemonFC	Then they filled pillowcases with bars of soap that night and beat the shit out of him.
[23:01]	DaemonFC	See, it worked.
[23:01]	DaemonFC	Motivation.
[23:01]	DaemonFC	Of course, he caused Pyle to have a mental breakdown and kill him.
[23:01]	DaemonFC	So there was that.
[23:01]	DaemonFC	You don't send a message by punishing someone for their bad behavior.
[23:02]	DaemonFC	You send a message by punishing someone else. Someone they care about. You horrify them. You traumatize them. You make them live with it forever.
[23:02]	DaemonFC	But you don't touch a hair on their head.
[23:02]	DaemonFC	See, if I was a mobster and wanted to send a lesson or something, that's exactly how I'd operate.
[23:03]	phanes	i would struggle with the moral disposition of collateral damage
[23:03]	DaemonFC	If you kill a person, their suffering is over.
[23:03]	DaemonFC	If you put out the hit on their children, they suffer.
[23:04]	DaemonFC	If you want them to suffer, you don't hurt them at all.
[23:04]	DaemonFC	You send your thugs and wait until their kids are out playing in the yard, and well.
[23:04]	phanes	when it comes to war, both sides' moral position are critical factors
[23:05]	phanes	if you compromise yours by deed, you give the enemy an advantage
[23:05]	DaemonFC	We know Gus Fring in Breaking Bad will order the murder of a child.
[23:05]	DaemonFC	He did it once.
[23:05]	phanes	if they compromise yours by lies, they've taken that advantage but assumed a risk for later
[23:05]	DaemonFC	So when he threatened Walter "I will kill you. I will kill your wife. I will kill your son. I will kill your infant daughter.".
[23:05]	DaemonFC	He meant it.
[23:06]	phanes	DaemonFC, when i talk about them assuming a risk for later that's an important distinction too, because it becomes useful later while building them up on a false platform that can be destroyed later
[23:06]	DaemonFC	Walter's death made sense in that context.
[23:06]	DaemonFC	Walter was a danger to Gus in many ways.
[23:09]	phanes	yeah but that's a movie character
[23:09]	DaemonFC	Sure.
[23:09]	phanes	and they're meth dealers / cartel mobsters
[23:09]	phanes	they're not fighting a war with winners and losers they're running a criminal enterprise
[23:09]	DaemonFC	Most people are motivated by avoiding punishment.
[23:09]	DaemonFC	Including me.
[23:10]	DaemonFC	Obviously, like everyone else, my sense of morality doesn't quite line up with the law, but the threat of punishment keeps me in line.
[23:10]	DaemonFC	Well, every normal person.
[23:10]	phanes	that's why the law is there
[23:11]	phanes	there are many morally justifiable things in life that are prevented by the law
[23:11]	phanes	even if there weren't, most people don't have a developed moral compass
[23:12]	phanes	it would be impossible for them to navigate
[23:12]	phanes	so, the law is necessary
[23:16]	immibis	DaemonFC: the government losing a suit is a punishment in the sense that the department was given a certain amount of money, and now it doesn't get to use all of that money. Remember, corporations also steal your money, so by your logic we shouldn't sue them either

[23:23]	DaemonFC	Apartheid officials have figured out that they don't need any laws to keep American cities segregated.
[23:23]	DaemonFC	They can do it by promoting "economic development" which raises rent until the "undesirables" are gone.
[23:23]	DaemonFC	If you can't afford an apartment in the neighborhood, the law can say you can live there if you want to and the White people don't have to worry much.
[23:23]	DaemonFC	This is why people like Matt GULAG like San Francisco.

[23:35]	DaemonFC	I certainly hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me.
[23:35]	DaemonFC	Landlords there get away with setting fire to their own building all the time and claiming "loss of use insurance" until the tenant gives up on trying to come back, then they rebuild. Very common in SF.

[23:39]	DaemonFC	In 1906, Upton Sinclair released his book, The Jungle, which exposed the horrific and disgusting food industry practices in the United States.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	By far, they were the worst in the meat packing industry.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	His goal was to expose how evil and corrupt Capitalism is and cause a Socialist revolt.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	Instead, Congress created the USDA and today our food is slightly less off putting than Sinclair portrayed it.
