06:59 IsambardPrince; For example, if the government passed a treaty requiring it to disarm the American public, that would be unconstiutional.

07:00 IsambardPrince; They sent revisions.

07:00 schestowitz[TR2]; NPR does tiktok the same

07:00 schestowitz[TR2]; questions like,

07:00 schestowitz[TR2]; first amendement

07:01 schestowitz[TR2]; CPC does not have first amendment

07:01 schestowitz[TR2]; or even elections

07:01 schestowitz[TR2]; and terror groups of iran do not obey intl law

07:01 IsambardPrince; Right, they're shrieking that we may ban TikTok or force the sale.

07:01 *darwin (~darwin@7d3n498busjrn.irc) has joined #techrights

07:01 IsambardPrince; Which is actually funny because China does things like this all the time.

07:01 IsambardPrince; To foreign companies.

07:01 schestowitz[TR2]; it's like writing an article about wwhether the meal given to 9/11 plotters was "balanced enough"

07:02 schestowitz[TR2]; i think the exploding pagers are terrib

07:02 schestowitz[TR2]; cruel

07:02 schestowitz[TR2]; i don't condone them

07:02 schestowitz[TR2]; having said that,

07:03 schestowitz[TR2]; iran supplied these people with 100-200,000 rockets

07:03 schestowitz[TR2]; and other weapons

07:03 IsambardPrince; Treaties that the US agrees to are like any federal law.

07:03 schestowitz[TR2]; some say those estimates are exaggerated

07:03 IsambardPrince; It's not self-executing.

07:03 schestowitz[TR2]; so say even 50,000

07:03 IsambardPrince; They're subject to signing statements.

07:03 IsambardPrince; Executive orders laying out how it will be enforced by the President.

07:03 schestowitz[TR2]; cutting off fingers, communication devices and eyesight of the people who operate the launchers is something the US too would do

07:04 schestowitz[TR2]; Hebollah is even more cruel than hamas

07:04 IsambardPrince; Signing statements don't carry any legal weight in our system, but executive orders do.

07:04 schestowitz[TR2]; *hez

07:04 IsambardPrince; Signing statements are published in the Federal Register, but they're more like footnotes.

07:04 IsambardPrince; Like the administration is commenting on how it plans to interpret that part.

07:04 schestowitz[TR2]; UK invading an island near argentia is lame

07:04 schestowitz[TR2]; falklands

07:05 IsambardPrince; Every president has issued some signing statements, but George W. Bush started using them all the time.

07:05 schestowitz[TR2]; but that was not self-defence

07:05 schestowitz[TR2]; US invaded countries for oil

07:05 schestowitz[TR2]; in 2003

07:06 schestowitz[TR2]; anyway though, back to tech

07:06 schestowitz[TR2]; the pager aspect (Walkie-talkie also) has tech aspect

07:06 schestowitz[TR2]; these devices break many laws

07:06 schestowitz[TR2]; even when they don't detonate

07:06 schestowitz[TR2]; recent:

07:11 schestowitz[TR2]; yes, very imprecide

07:11 IsambardPrince; The United States (as well as many countries) can arrest and try acts of piracy.

07:11 schestowitz[TR2]; given the total number of these, maybe the main injured people looked at the message

07:11 schestowitz[TR2]; and lost fingers//eyes

07:11 IsambardPrince; It doesn't matter whether they were committing the piracy against an American-flagged vessel.

07:11 schestowitz[TR2]; and the rest are bystanders with lesser injuries

07:11 IsambardPrince; We can arrest and try pirates in American courts, period.

07:12 IsambardPrince; As long as we can catch them.

07:12 schestowitz[TR2]; cluster bombs and land mines are issues because they explode a lot later

07:12 schestowitz[TR2]; after the wars too

07:12 schestowitz[TR2]; at that stage, it's almost always civilians

07:15 schestowitz[TR2]; they are embedded

07:15 schestowitz[TR2]; (guerilla)

07:15 schestowitz[TR2]; they mingle

07:15 schestowitz[TR2]; some people join and become

07:15 schestowitz[TR2]; there is no separation

07:15 schestowitz[TR2]; and some live in congested places

07:15 schestowitz[TR2]; so you fight a mindset, not a group

07:15 schestowitz[TR2]; with vietnam is wasn't religion

07:16 schestowitz[TR2]; but even labenese who are christians and just want to live in peace cannot just "go away" from the people with exploding pagers

07:16 schestowitz[TR2]; they just go to shops like everyone else

20:18 schestowitz[TR2]; my dad asked me about it this morning

20:19 schestowitz[TR2]; and i said it seemed improbable

20:19 schestowitz[TR2]; and maybe hype/deception

20:19 schestowitz[TR2]; because why would Qualcomm want/need Intel design?

20:19 schestowitz[TR2]; or the patents

20:19 schestowitz[TR2]; INTC would not be cheap

20:19 schestowitz[TR2]; it's a mega-merger

20:20 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe someone sold INTC short

20:20 psydruid; I think it wants the fabs

20:20 schestowitz[TR2]; and then some rumours are floated

20:20 schestowitz[TR2]; Qualcomm would not need to buy Intel for it

20:20 psydruid; and the engineers could be moved over to ARM and RISC-V designs

20:20 schestowitz[TR2]; Qualcomm knows intel is a lot more

20:20 schestowitz[TR2]; patents, software, designs

20:20 schestowitz[TR2]; not even good designs

20:22 psydruid; but Linux is part of an open environment

20:22 psydruid; you should be able to substitute one implementation for another

20:23 psydruid; as long as it's POSIX-compliant

20:23 psydruid; the barrier to exit for Windows is huge

20:23 schestowitz[TR2]; office suites were the same

20:23 schestowitz[TR2]; you did not need 10,000 features

20:23 schestowitz[TR2]; sometimes you just type a letter

22:17 IsambardPrince; The same sort of thing is happening in the US right now.

22:17 IsambardPrince; Same effect.

22:17 IsambardPrince; Different causes.

22:18 IsambardPrince; The US started going really wrong because without the threat of Communist uprisings if things got too bad here, the criminals which already owned the means of production in the US were emboldened to do things that they could only dream of before.

22:18 IsambardPrince; They gutted the US industry, destroyed labor unions, plundered pension funds, outsourced and offshored, and started allowing illegal aliens into our country in droves to destroy social cohesion and drive down labor cost.

22:19 IsambardPrince; Over the last thirty years or so, what was a relatively unified, English-speaking country has been dismantled.

22:20 IsambardPrince; And replaced with people who don't speak a word of English and are ready to do jobs too cheaply for the American workers to even compete with, with any sort of living standard we used to have.

22:20 IsambardPrince; Instead of integrating, they bring their own weird customs and rituals into the country they invaded while the Border Patrol was told to stand down.

22:21 IsambardPrince; The US is now this bizarre thing that resembles Mexico and post-Soviet 90s/2000s Russia.

22:21 IsambardPrince; One reaction to this is that Trump has a following because he's correctly identified one reason the country is breaking apart.

22:23 IsambardPrince; Mexicans and Venezuelans are Catholics, but different.

22:23 IsambardPrince; The US was never a Catholic nation, in fact most States have anti-Catholic clauses in their Constitutions. The Catholics got into the Supreme Court like cockroaches and nullified it recently.

22:24 IsambardPrince; It's been tolerated to the extent that we had to and there were always relatively few of them.

22:25 IsambardPrince; One thing they seem to have in common with American Catholics is the level of sin and vice throughout the week, followed by Confession.

22:25 IsambardPrince; My mother was talking about a nurse's aid she worked with who got pregnant by a 16 year old illegal immigrant who was beating her.

22:26 IsambardPrince; He was a migrant farm worker, and on the weekends they'd all get drunk and pass around the same whore to entertain themselves.

22:26 IsambardPrince; They were probably in Confession every week too.

22:26 IsambardPrince; Catholics, you know I hate em.

22:27 IsambardPrince; If you wonder why all of the really disgusting venereal diseases and Measles and all sorts of shit are spreading again, look at the trash and filth that's coming here.

22:28 IsambardPrince; None of them are vaccinated for anything.

22:30 IsambardPrince; The Catholic Church is nothing more than a manure spreader.

22:30 IsambardPrince; Ruining every country it goes to, its only goal is more Catholics.

22:30 IsambardPrince; It's a disease.

22:35 IsambardPrince; Anyway, there's a lot of reasons why the US feels like Post-Soviet Russia now.

22:35 IsambardPrince; People overdosing on Chinese narcotics everywhere is probably one of them.

23:12 psydruid; the UK is very similar to that now

23:12 psydruid; which is shocking as I don't remember it being like this during my previous visits

23:13 psydruid; but this is the longest I've ever been here, so you see more what things are like here

23:13 psydruid; the terrorists are everywhere, though

23:14 psydruid; just relatively more in some countries than in other ones

23:38 IsambardPrince; I don't like Catholics. I was in a Catholic school for a while when I was a child.

23:38 IsambardPrince; I hated it there. I managed to get myself expelled.

23:39 IsambardPrince; Roy thought it was funny what I finally had to do before they'd quit taking my parents' money.

23:49 psydruid; I was also in Catholic primary and secondary schools

23:50 psydruid; and I was always the one who got expelled from class
