00:01 psydruid; the worst thing is these companies producing and nothing tying up so many resources that could be used for doing useful things
00:10 DaemonFC; It's expensive to have so many unproductives around.
00:10 DaemonFC; But spending the savings on something else that isn't going anywhere ("AI") is also bad.

00:28 psydruid; maybe they shouldn't hire so many people then and allow other companies to hire them instead
00:28 psydruid; that's going to be inevitable as Microsoft faces its demise
00:28 psydruid; but Google and friends are in the same boat
00:34 DaemonFC; Microsoft has cut everything to the bone. But how many people do you really need to add crapware to Chrome?
00:34 DaemonFC; Pretty much the only thing that rides on top of Chromium in Edge is Microsoft spyware, Microsoft's ad network, and nag screens that detect when you're looking at any other browser.
00:36 DaemonFC; Did Maxthon make a Linux release?
00:36 DaemonFC; I do have a habit of collecting Web browsers.
00:40 DaemonFC; heh
00:40 DaemonFC; Linux.com wrote blogspam about it then they quit releasing a Linux port a month or so later.
00:42 DaemonFC; schestowitz: Elon Twitler blocked Pale Moon.
00:42 DaemonFC; There's a new UA shim to make Twitter work again.
00:46 DaemonFC; I stopped using Google Search especially. It's completely pozzed.
00:47 DaemonFC; 20 years ago it was much better than it is now. It just showed you whatever you were looking for.
00:47 DaemonFC; Now it's a wing of the Democratic Party.
00:47 DaemonFC; There's certainly a "Twitter Files" lurking inside of Google.
00:48 DaemonFC; But you won't ever see it because Elon Musk isn't rich enough to buy Google and tell you all of the nasty shit it's doing everytime Biden or his lapdog Little Adam Shit, Congresscritter (D-CA) email them saying take that shit off the goddamn internet.
00:49 DaemonFC; I don't know why Roy is so focused on showing Google is "winning" over Bing. They're worse than Bing!
00:51 MinceR; how are they worse than bng though?
00:51 MinceR; is occasionally getting a relevant search result worse than not getting any?
00:52 DaemonFC; I mix in Bing with Google.
00:53 parsifal; DaemonFC: have you tried searx?
00:53 DaemonFC; Does Microsoft get a free pass from all the illegal shit the government and the crazies themselves normally do for not delisting the shit that drives the crazies nuts.
00:56 DaemonFC; I always wondered what I'd have to do in order to be able to get away with anything I wanted to do and not be punished, however having my testicles cut off and put in a jar in someone's refrigerator and then showing up dressed as a woman petting a little dog while facing charges (which will be dropped for obvious reasons) of violating an OOP and kicking in someone's front door isn't really where I want my life going.

00:57 DaemonFC; That dog is in horrible danger. Does that county not have animal protective services?
00:57 DaemonFC; They need to rescue it because if this person is kicking people's doors in and violating protective orders, they should not be allowed to own small animals.
00:57 DaemonFC; Eventually he'll get mad and take it out on a helpless little dog.
00:58 DaemonFC; I mean it's so obvious what's coming.
00:59 DaemonFC; People with no emotional regulation at all will eventually take it out on animals, and other people.
00:59 DaemonFC; They usually START with animals, and then when nothing much happens about it, they "graduate".

01:04 DaemonFC; Telling Americans that bombs will be dropped on people in Gaza not only doesn't generate any negative sentiment among the voters.
01:04 DaemonFC; It makes them more fond of where their tax money is going to.
01:05 DaemonFC; Of course one of the right yield could scorch every inch of it and get all of the terrorists at once. But it's too inefficient that way. The defense industry needs a protracted conflict.
01:06 MinceR; :>
01:07 DaemonFC; There's really not that many Biden votes to be lost anyway with the Gaza shit.
01:08 DaemonFC; Most of the people who care about the terrorists are already so fucked in the head they were already voting for Jill Stein, the Russian mole.
01:09 DaemonFC; She spoke with Putin over dinner about their strategy to siphon votes away from Hillary Clinton in 2016.
01:09 DaemonFC; Her entire purpose was to get Donald Trump elected.
01:09 DaemonFC; The Democrats need to get serious about getting the Green Party off the ballot.
01:10 DaemonFC; And don't ever vote for one because it just helps them get ballot access next time.

02:01 TR Bot; NewsWaffle: CNN gemi.dev
02:01 DaemonFC; > The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York condemned the funeral of a trans activist that was held last week in St. Patricks Cathedral, expressing outrage over what it called scandalous behavior.
02:02 DaemonFC; > More than 1,000 people filled the pews of the revered New York cathedral on February 15 to honor the legendary trans activist Cecilia Gentili, who died on February 6 at 52. Gentili was a pillar of New Yorks trans community, as well as a fierce advocate for sex workers and people with HIV/AIDS. Though she grew up attending Catholic services in her home country of Argentina, she was also an avowed atheist.
02:02 DaemonFC; > Friends and family members of Gentili characterized last weeks service as iconic and historic, with funeral organizers saying they believed Gentili was the first trans person to have a funeral at the cathedral. Mourners showed up in feathery red dresses, fishnet stockings and lace veils, and the community prayed for God to protect trans people with health care and housing. In one eulogy, Gentili a former sex worker was
02:02 DaemonFC; remembered as Saint Cecilia. Mother of all whores.
02:04 DaemonFC; > The Cathedral only knew that family and friends were requesting a funeral Mass for a Catholic, and had no idea our welcome and prayer would be degraded in such a sacrilegious and deceptive way, Rev. Enrique Salvo, the rector at St. Patricks Cathedral, said in a statement over the weekend.
02:04 DaemonFC; > That such a scandal occurred at Americas Parish Church makes it worse; that it took place as Lent was beginning, the annual forty-day struggle with the forces of sin and darkness, is a potent reminder of how much we need prayer, reparation, repentance, grace, and mercy to which this holy season invites us.
02:04 DaemonFC; > Rev. Salvo added that the cathedral offered a mass of reparation at the direction of Cardinal Timothy Dolan to atone for the funeral.
02:05 DaemonFC; ----
02:05 DaemonFC; MinceR: You know how I feel about the trannies but the Catholics are worse.
02:05 DaemonFC; So I'm VERY amused by this.
02:09 DaemonFC; The Catholics got trolled into having a funeral mass for a tranny atheist prostitute. In attendance were a bunch of classless degenerate weirdos who don't even know how to conduct themselves or dress at a funeral. Then when the muckity mucks found out they had another mass to cleanse the church of the abomination that had just taken place.
02:09 DaemonFC; What is going on?
02:10 DaemonFC; MinceR: First the testicles tranny and now this.
02:10 MinceR; lol
02:10 DaemonFC; I mean, Carlin said it best. When you're born into the world you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America you get front row seats.
02:11 MinceR; :>
02:11 DaemonFC; MinceR: This could have only gotten funnier if on the other side of the aisle there were a bunch of people in their fursuits.

02:23 DaemonFC; Of course, you can't make the Catholics much worse. Pedos who embezzle people's pensions to pay hush money and to move the Priest who only speaks English to Argentina in the middle of the night. Buying bus tickets to California for people wanted for beating up cops in New York.
02:24 DaemonFC; So their anger towards being deceived into that funeral is a little hypocritical I think.
02:26 DaemonFC; MinceR: Although I do wonder if we're seeing so many trannies lately because this is what happens to people who age into adulthood after being preyed on by a priest.
02:26 DaemonFC; Is rejection of the penis a symptom of carrying around "The priest touched me there and I was just a child?"
02:26 DaemonFC; I don't know. I mean I'll never know.

02:49 DaemonFC; "You say quit using Chrome now because Google sells the data to anyone including prosecutors hostile to abortion and LGBT groups. I never used Chrome. We are not the same." How are we not the same? Well, for starters, they don't have reams and reams of data that I gave them in the past 16 years to sell to those groups.
02:49 DaemonFC; And anyone who used Chrome will never get Google to destroy the data it collected.
02:49 DaemonFC; So there's that.
02:49 TR News; Yesterday's bulletin is now ready! : http://techrights.org/txt-archives/techrights-2024-02-19.txt | gemini://gemini.techrights.org/tr_text_version/techrights-2024-02-19.txt (tentative address, to work an hour from now)

02:50 DaemonFC; I hope having a browser that loads Discord 0.03 seconds faster was worth the mountain of data Google sells to the prosecutor about your abortion.
02:51 DaemonFC; Chrome has an even worse problem than having a lot of security vulnerabilities, although it does have a lot of those too.
02:51 DaemonFC; It's malware itself. If you have Chrome you already have malware. Game over, man. Game over.
02:52 DaemonFC; Some of their source code is interesting but it needs to be properly peer reviewed and moved over to a browser that isn't attacking you at the application level.
02:53 DaemonFC; Some of their fuzz testers are interesting, but same deal. Don't use them to help Google. Use them to help someone that deserves it. Like WebkitGTK or Pale Moon.
02:54 DaemonFC; WebkitGTK is only worth reporting security problems in because you can at least use Webkit as Free Software. Everything in Google Chromium/Blink (same thing) is tied into Google in thousands of ways that are not at all easy to go in and shut down. It's a very very nasty piece of work, Chromium.
02:55 DaemonFC; There's a lot of work going into neutering these nasty pieces of code, but something almost always slips past anyway because Chromium changes faster than you can inspect the changes.

03:07 DaemonFC; Also it mixes image searches and tells you where to go for files.
03:07 DaemonFC; I mean, this is part of a revolt against a lot of things.

21:33 DaemonFC; Then if you have any savings and invest in fixed income vehicles to try to protect any of it, they can say you're beating inflation at 4-5% when really it only stops about half of it because real inflation is probably at least 10%.

22:23 DaemonFC; Like 2/3rds of the changelog of Brave. However, I would not say it's for right-wing retards.
22:23 DaemonFC; If you turn that off it's a fine browser.
22:24 DaemonFC; Mozilla is never going to build Tor into their browser.
22:24 MinceR; brave is more for people who want ad blocking on crashium
22:24 DaemonFC; They give Comcast privacy awards.
22:25 arkanian; why would mozilla do that? its called Tor Browser
22:25 arkanian; Brave is just doxxing Tor users by baking it in
22:25 arkanian; you lose your uniqueness
22:26 arkanian; Like using Tor over a VPN, you really fucking stand out
22:26 arkanian; I wonder who the NSA is gonna target
22:27 arkanian; 99% of Tor users using Tor Browser that look like Windows clients (fingerprinting) or a handful of Brave users or people using Tor over a VPN service?

22:29 arkanian; The statistics on that would be quite interesting
22:29 arkanian; My personal opinion is that the Tor over VPN users would be watched the most
22:30 DaemonFC; How do you stand out when you use Tor over a VPN?
22:30 arkanian; Because you're using Tor on VPN
22:30 DaemonFC; It hides your real IP address from the Entry Node.
22:30 arkanian; It would be rather trivial for the NSA to watch that shit
22:30 DaemonFC; That should protect you from a catastrophic situation where you get the malicious entry *and* exit, right?
22:31 arkanian; I don't really trust VPN, it seems like an NSA target
22:31 DaemonFC; Since the NSA and their partners operate at least most of the exits, the situation is probably likely to eventually happen.
22:31 DaemonFC; Tor Browser itself is probably one big honeypot.
22:31 arkanian; If you're using a VPN, 8 eyes are likely in some position to monitor you
22:32 DaemonFC; So they're not in position to monitor you if you're using your AT&T DSL without the VPN?
22:32 DaemonFC; :)
22:32 arkanian; You should play it safe and assume you're always being monitored
22:33 DaemonFC; The only way I can think of a VPN making this worse is the NSA can say it incidentally collected your traffic because using a foreign server.
22:33 MinceR; https://iconspng.com/images/you-are-being-monitored/you-are-being-monitored.jpg
22:33 arkanian; Personally, I aim to be the needle in a haystack
22:33 DaemonFC; The disasters are not really the VPN as much as it is CloudFlare, which is almost certainly a pet project of the NSA/CIA/FBI.
22:34 DaemonFC; And they give it out for "free" and people are hosting all kinds of illegal shit and using CloudFlare.

23:53 DaemonFC; It's really stupid to point to the trademarks on the Pale Moon binary and say that alone makes it non-Free. It's exactly the same binary policy Mozilla has.
23:53 DaemonFC; Mozilla is certainly non-Free because of Widevine, but Pale Moon doesn't have that.
23:54 DaemonFC; I think when people just don't like software that won't take up political extremism, they say it's "right-wing" and "Nazi".
