00:09 TR Bot; Israel attacks: UNRWA head fires staff members allegedly involved in October 7 | CNN

00:10 DaemonFC; The UN ICJ ordered Israel to stop committing genocide while a UN agency actively participated in the October 7th terrorist attacks on Israel.

00:10 DaemonFC; Hmm.

00:10 DaemonFC; Might the UN maybe not be the most unbiased organization if it's committing terrorism while demanding an end to an alleged genocide that is not happening with a court that has no jurisdiction or power?

00:12 DaemonFC; The United Nations is a terrorist organization.

00:12 DaemonFC; It caught Biden with his pants down after he gave UNRWA tons of money.

00:12 DaemonFC; This should come up. Trump should bring this up. Biden actively funded the October 7th attacks.

00:48 DaemonFC; The only thing left to produce is statistics.

00:48 DaemonFC; Even if true, they say the economy grows by the inflation rate.

00:49 DaemonFC; How does that happen?

00:49 schestowitz[TR]; it is "at least we are not Russia"ism

00:49 MinceR; yet.

01:02 DaemonFC; An enormous windfall worthy of Lobsta himself.

01:03 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: Another announcement by the State's Attorney.

01:03 DaemonFC; Another "electronics detection dog".

01:04 DaemonFC; For the police to point where they want to search so the dog knows to go over there and bark.

01:04 DaemonFC; :)

01:04 DaemonFC; It's amazing how you can get a dog to bark at anything. That's because they're loud and obnoxious and stupid and violent by nature. Like the cops, and most of the neighborhoods the cops patrol.

01:04 DaemonFC; MinceR: ^

01:05 MinceR; yeah

01:05 MinceR; like most humans

01:06 DaemonFC; She was very well behaved.

01:06 DaemonFC; And I was her favorite person.

01:07 DaemonFC; I just used mom's expensive Vidal Sassoon shampoo and conditioner on the dog.

01:08 DaemonFC; Then went over her with a hair dryer.

01:31 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: So these Chinese people screaming racism are like Lobsta.

01:31 DaemonFC; Lobsta is used to being in a garbage country where people just back off as soon as you scream transphobe.

01:32 DaemonFC; And assumes that everyone is from a garbage country like Canada.

01:32 MinceR; i have yet to find a non-garbage country

01:32 DaemonFC; The guy was clearly not being racist.

01:32 DaemonFC; He asked if they were from China because they had some funny ideas about how laws work.

01:32 DaemonFC; They kept saying something about "Image Right" which is not a concept in British law.

01:33 DaemonFC; They said "Image Right" meant he couldn't film them in a public mall as they were walking around the piano he was playing.

01:33 DaemonFC; So they scream racism racism because they know that the police respond to that because of leftist authoritarianism.

01:34 DaemonFC; And it works in Canada too because the law is similar there where some overgrown child can tell the police they had their little feelings hurt and it becomes a criminal investigation.

01:34 DaemonFC; The British and Canadian systems are absolutely insane.

01:35 DaemonFC; When shouting and making up terms didn't work on him, they played the "race card".

01:35 DaemonFC; Same reason Lobsta has learned that people in Canada pick up on "transphobe".

01:35 DaemonFC; But the accusation doesn't mean anything really in the US.

01:35 DaemonFC; Nobody cares.

01:35 DaemonFC; In the private sector, things are being wedged in there like banks that call you by your tranny "stage name".

01:36 DaemonFC; MinceR: I made fun of that today at the dental clinic.

01:36 DaemonFC; Went there for a checkup and cleaning.

01:36 DaemonFC; They asked what my pronouns were.

01:36 DaemonFC; I said, "Take a guess."

01:37 DaemonFC; And they said we couldn't continue until I said what my pronouns are. I said, "I don't play this game."

01:37 DaemonFC; Eventually we continued.

01:37 MinceR; lol

01:38 DaemonFC; No real men or women worry about pronouns except as a form of virtue signaling.

01:38 DaemonFC; If you're a real man or a real woman, you don't have to specify "He" or "She".

01:38 DaemonFC; People look at you and figure it out the same way they have for thousands of years.

01:39 DaemonFC; It's an insult because I'm a 6' 4" 250 pound man and they act like they just can't tell if I'm a chestfeeding birth person or something.

01:39 DaemonFC; It's very insulting to pretend that you can't tell I'm a man.

01:40 DaemonFC; Chestfeeding birth person sounds like the fucking aliens have landed and they're genderless.

01:40 DaemonFC; So we had to figure out what to call it.

01:41 MinceR; lol

01:41 MinceR; chestburster

01:41 DaemonFC; This guy in the video has a point. "Some politicians and people in Canada were stupid enough to call what they did to their native people a genocide, so now whenever Canada says to another country 'stop your genocide' they can say 'Well look how you treat your native people.'"

01:42 MinceR; seems there's a temporal difference still

01:42 DaemonFC; I mean, Canada still treats them badly.

01:42 DaemonFC; Stuck them on the reservations and poisoned their water.

01:42 DaemonFC; Mass graves.

01:42 DaemonFC; I mean, little things, you know.

01:43 DaemonFC; Bad education.

01:43 DaemonFC; High unemployment.

01:43 DaemonFC; The survivors drink themselves to death.

01:43 DaemonFC; Because the Canadians are very civilized and worry about transphobia while they dig up all the mass graves they littered their country with.

01:44 DaemonFC; Presumably Canada is digging up the mass graves so they can piss on the corpses and bury them upside down this time.

01:45 schestowitz[TR]; it is possible that

01:45 schestowitz[TR]; canada did something wrong

01:45 schestowitz[TR]; and israel goes too far now

01:45 schestowitz[TR]; for revenge

01:45 schestowitz[TR]; the issue is,

01:45 schestowitz[TR]; the narrative gets shaped for political gain

01:45 schestowitz[TR]; and selectively applied

01:46 schestowitz[TR]; the news is slow this week, so I will do the weekend tasks a day early

01:50 DaemonFC; When you start screaming at people to get out of your way is when there's trouble.

01:50 DaemonFC; You don't own the sidewalk.

01:50 schestowitz[TR]; i agree with MinceR here

01:50 schestowitz[TR]; it is a societal issue

01:50 schestowitz[TR]; we have bad people

01:50 schestowitz[TR]; and the system does not want to deal with them

01:50 DaemonFC; Most of them know their place around here.

01:50 schestowitz[TR]; it is a human problem

01:51 DaemonFC; Because their government informs them we're armed and not to get in a shouting match.

01:51 DaemonFC; So something like this piano incident doesn't happen much.

01:51 TR News; game jam gemini://dt.smol.pub/2024-01-26_16-game-jam

01:52 schestowitz[TR]; the police wants sopcial control

01:52 schestowitz[TR]; calm

01:52 schestowitz[TR]; this means,

01:52 DaemonFC; They intimidated him in front of his friend who was filming them. Had he stopped filming, it would have gotten uglier.

01:52 schestowitz[TR]; appeasing abusers too

01:52 DaemonFC; And then they would have lied about what they did.

01:52 DaemonFC; And figured out some way to arrest him.

01:53 schestowitz[TR]; forrr what?

01:54 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, i never watched that video

01:54 schestowitz[TR]; i saw you had pasted some links

01:54 schestowitz[TR]; but that's about it

01:54 schestowitz[TR]; techrights has stories to tell

01:54 TR Bot; Free Speech Rejected by Opponents of Free Software

01:54 schestowitz[TR]; this is very much related to CoC

01:55 schestowitz[TR]; the CoCs have been spun up as a mechanism

01:55 schestowitz[TR]; it helps those in power muzzle those not in power

01:55 schestowitz[TR]; hiding about pseudo interests

01:55 schestowitz[TR]; so people who blindly serve power... OK

01:55 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: In the US, the police show up and it's implied that if they're not happy, you could be beaten or shot.

01:55 schestowitz[TR]; if you have clinicians who follow the science. watch out

01:56 DaemonFC; So you do what they say even if it's unwise.

01:56 DaemonFC; You know, for your case later on.

01:56 DaemonFC; That's what most people do.

01:56 DaemonFC; They focus on keeping the cop happy and surviving.

01:57 schestowitz[TR]; in a good society it does not work that way

01:57 schestowitz[TR]; because the cops are peace officers

01:57 schestowitz[TR]; you say "survive"

01:57 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, in GTA

01:57 schestowitz[TR]; they have thhis motto

01:57 schestowitz[TR]; a joke or sorts

01:57 schestowitz[TR]; obey and survive?

01:58 schestowitz[TR]; because when dealing with goons, not a power issued by public consent, it can be like colombia

01:58 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, i am preparing some tech articles

01:58 schestowitz[TR]; we still have lots of important tstories to tlel

01:59 schestowitz[TR]; paradoxically, those seeking to speed up our reignations.... only gave us more time to wrote

01:59 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: You didn't lose much. The company fell apart completely months later.

01:59 schestowitz[TR]; we need to refine some news-processing scripts

01:59 DaemonFC; The guy drained it and disappeared.

01:59 schestowitz[TR]; i am told some sites add rss feeds now

2 AM, January 27

02:00 schestowitz[TR]; maybe they realise twitter was pants all along

02:00 schestowitz[TR]; and then learn that some people do in fact use rss feeds

02:00 schestowitz[TR]; <DaemonFC> schestowitz[TR]: You didn't lose much. The company fell apart completely months later.

02:00 schestowitz[TR]; yes

02:00 schestowitz[TR]; that too

02:00 schestowitz[TR]; but...

02:00 schestowitz[TR]; that is also why i confronted them more

02:00 schestowitz[TR]; even here in irc

02:00 schestowitz[TR]; like, it went too far when my colleague XXXXX

02:00 DaemonFC; Do the people who had contracts with them go to the police?

02:00 schestowitz[TR]; XXX was not happy

02:01 schestowitz[TR]; YYYY was not hhappy

02:01 schestowitz[TR]; because some dickhead boss tells them to???

02:01 DaemonFC; To keep them off the CEO's back while he has more time to steal.

02:01 schestowitz[TR]; i told those stories before, without company and people names

02:01 schestowitz[TR]; the gist of it is,

02:01 schestowitz[TR]; our host had bills racking up for us

02:01 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, like 3,000

02:01 schestowitz[TR]; maybe 5,000, I cannot remember

02:01 schestowitz[TR]; then issues threat to take it offline

02:02 schestowitz[TR]; and then it did

02:02 schestowitz[TR]; then the CEO starts jumping from one credit card to the next

02:02 DaemonFC; https://finance.yahoo.com/news/losing-job-50s-extremely-tough-175511392.html

02:02 TR Bot; Losing a job in your 50s is extremely tough. Here are 3 steps to take when layoffs happen.

02:02 schestowitz[TR]; trying to pay the unpaid bill

02:02 DaemonFC; Someone with a sign that says Conde Nasty.

02:02 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: ^

02:02 DaemonFC; Scroll down.

02:02 schestowitz[TR]; meanwhile a client's system lacks a criticial DB

02:02 schestowitz[TR]; and we know why

02:02 schestowitz[TR]; yes, DaemonFC

02:02 schestowitz[TR]; i know

02:03 schestowitz[TR]; i mentioned this yesterday

02:03 schestowitz[TR]; they had walkout

02:03 schestowitz[TR]; in conde nast

02:03 schestowitz[TR]; even ars techncia is firing

02:03 schestowitz[TR]; of "drpizza"'

02:03 schestowitz[TR]; the actual child rapisty

02:03 schestowitz[TR]; who came here to irc

02:03 schestowitz[TR]; http://techrights.org/wiki/Peter_Bright/

02:03 TR Bot; Peter Bright

02:03 schestowitz[TR]; they only target effective people that way

02:04 schestowitz[TR]; try to play irc 'kkkop'

02:04 schestowitz[TR]; and at the end,

02:04 schestowitz[TR]; it turns out they are convicted of something

02:04 schestowitz[TR]; really awful something

02:04 schestowitz[TR]; like child rape

02:04 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, biab

02:05 schestowitz[TR]; i am also working to speed up the police cases atm

02:05 schestowitz[TR]; as sirius remains in the criminal zone

02:05 schestowitz[TR]; and the british police does not tackle fraud

02:05 schestowitz[TR]; it is important to explain

02:06 schestowitz[TR]; 1) what sirius did

02:06 schestowitz[TR]; 2) how "the system" covers up

02:07 schestowitz[TR]; our work has had considerable effectr

02:07 schestowitz[TR]; to the point where EPO staff now tries to pull their pensions out oif the uk

02:07 schestowitz[TR]; and the EPO tries to obstruct them

02:08 schestowitz[TR]; this has had a positive effect

02:08 schestowitz[TR]; and even the british authorities take note

02:08 schestowitz[TR]; but in reality they need to tackle the crime

02:08 schestowitz[TR]; not just take note

02:08 schestowitz[TR]; that's the challenge

02:08 schestowitz[TR]; my MP contacted them

02:08 schestowitz[TR]; they did not even reply to her

02:08 schestowitz[TR]; so i reported this

02:08 schestowitz[TR]; and it deepens the scandal furtther

02:09 schestowitz[TR]; because it starts looking like the state is actively or passively complicit in the crime

02:13 schestowitz[TR]; that is what i heard

02:13 schestowitz[TR]; but i heard the same about presidential

02:14 schestowitz[TR]; i.e. this week

02:14 Sompi; It is very likely. But the elections are not over yet

02:14 schestowitz[TR]; PRICS has its own skinnerbox (P for Putin)

02:14 schestowitz[TR]; Sompi: i am ssure the impact is measurable somehow

02:15 schestowitz[TR]; some schools ingest data from social control media

02:15 schestowitz[TR]; twitter, fb

02:15 schestowitz[TR]; then anallyse algoriothmic biass

02:15 schestowitz[TR]; some of reverse-engineer it

02:15 schestowitz[TR]; and can show how those companies bias elections

02:16 TR News; Missing the point that HP itself failed www.usnews.com/news/technology/articles/2024-01-24/hp-enterprise-discloses-hack-by-suspected-state-backed-russian-hackers see http://techrights.org/n/2024/01/20/Microsoft_Says_That_Microsoft_Holes_Are_Russia_s_Fault_ASSOCIAT.shtml

02:17 TR News; Computers systems do not just randomly allow random people in. They need to be properly secure. Should we blame "Russia" any time they fail?

02:17 Sompi; The most popular candidates were the ones that made Tiktok videos and those videos were clearly made for simple-minded people... and actually almost all arguments in our politics nowadays are

02:17 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: i reported to the police this week the cracking attempts

02:17 schestowitz[TR]; against my wife

02:17 schestowitz[TR]; afaik, you too were targeteddd

02:17 Sompi; They are populistic, they simplify things so much that they are represent the reality inaccurately

02:17 schestowitz[TR]; but since i saw no screenshot, there is not something to show

02:18 Sompi; representing

02:18 Sompi; *

02:18 schestowitz[TR]; yes, that might be it

02:18 schestowitz[TR]; either way, it is good that more people speak of it

02:18 schestowitz[TR]; how those social control media companies bias elections

02:18 Sompi; For example, most of the political jargon is about the public debt

02:18 schestowitz[TR]; but the politicians are part of the problem

02:18 schestowitz[TR]; as they maintain presence there

02:19 schestowitz[TR]; and thus lack the incentive to actually tackle the issue

02:19 schestowitz[TR]; like regulating those companies

02:19 Sompi; Almost no-one ever says anything about the fact that we don't have our own central bank anymore and that's why the state is in debt

02:19 Sompi; Because saying that is a political suicide

02:19 schestowitz[TR]; alllmost every state is in debt

02:19 schestowitz[TR]; except maybe 9 countries

02:19 schestowitz[TR]; i lostt track of how many in 2024

02:19 Sompi; The mainstream media immediately stops giving any attention to anyone who says that

02:20 schestowitz[TR]; MSM is also a gatekeeper

02:20 schestowitz[TR]; but

02:20 schestowitz[TR]; it is typically regulated domestically

02:20 schestowitz[TR]; if yle says an obvious lie, you can contact an ombuds

02:20 schestowitz[TR]; not so with beijing's bytedance

02:20 Sompi; schestowitz[TR]: But EU countries are forced to play the economic system's game with the same rules as a private person

02:21 Sompi; Or maybe they are more comparable to a private-owned company, but still

02:21 schestowitz[TR]; right

02:21 Sompi; And it is because EU countries don't have their own central banks anymore

02:22 Sompi; Their only way to get money is to either borrow it from private investors, or to tax it from the citizens

02:22 schestowitz[TR]; it is weird how money is minted

02:22 schestowitz[TR]; and where from

02:22 schestowitz[TR]; the media never discusses this

02:22 schestowitz[TR]; those who do... it's quickly spun as cranks

02:22 Sompi; And all the important decisions about how much new money is printed and where the new money goes to, are done in the EU

02:23 TR News; Samsung Elec Considering Leasing Russia Factory ww.usnews.com/news/technology/articles/2024-01-23/samsung-elec-considering-leasing-russia-factory-media"

02:23 Sompi; The individual EU states and their parliaments have no decision making power

02:23 TR News; You know the economy is tanking when... https://www.theage.com.au/world/europe/british-army-chief-uk-must-train-citizens-for-war-with-russia-20240125-p5ezvw.html

02:23 TR Bot; Russia-Ukraine war: British army chief says UK must train citizens for war with Russia

02:24 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: The goal for a while in the US is to keep most people as close to zero assets and as much debt as possible.

02:25 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: The opposite of an asset is a liability.

02:25 schestowitz[TR]; that too

02:25 DaemonFC; It would be better to call credit cards "liability cards".

02:25 schestowitz[TR]; even worse

02:25 schestowitz[TR]; at the mercy of medical bills

02:25 schestowitz[TR]; on the verge of nothingness

02:25 DaemonFC; It's a bad idea to move medical bills you can't pay to a "credit card" you can't pay.

02:25 schestowitz[TR]; the MSM is playing off the latest bad Januaryy

02:26 schestowitz[TR]; like the economy is "booming"

02:26 DaemonFC; They'll pressure you to, but the truth is it's much worse to owe delinquent card debt than medical.

02:26 schestowitz[TR]; which in turn discredits the media

02:26 Sompi; And a country cannot be really independent without an own central bank and a currency that is associated with it

02:26 Sompi; And also, without them the parliament cannot really control how much the country is in debt

02:26 DaemonFC; The very worst that could happen is the medical debt eventually gets 8-9% interest if they pursue it. Many don't because there's so many that owe them more.

02:27 DaemonFC; But you put that shit on a credit card it's at 23-24% sometimes the next month.

02:27 schestowitz[TR]; Sompi: it is a systemic issue

02:27 schestowitz[TR]; the mindset that

02:27 schestowitz[TR]; a) people should borrow

02:27 schestowitz[TR]; common one is, mortgage

02:27 DaemonFC; It'll rack that up as you get further and further behind. Then they cut off the card, rack it up at $40 a month plus penalty interest at 30%.

02:27 schestowitz[TR]; like, 30-year loans

02:27 DaemonFC; Then they'll "charge it off" and then get statutory interest on that.

02:27 schestowitz[TR]; b) businesses should borrow

02:27 DaemonFC; So moving medical debt to a credit card is a bad call.

02:28 schestowitz[TR]; c) states should have major deficit

02:28 schestowitz[TR]; that leads to austerity

02:28 Sompi; schestowitz[TR]: The bigger problem is the mindset that state economy is equivalent to a economy of a private company

02:28 DaemonFC; And once it's credit card debt, FICO scores it worse on your credit score.

02:28 schestowitz[TR]; instead of a-c living within their means

02:28 Sompi; When in reality it isn't, or at least shouldn't be

02:28 DaemonFC; Also, medical debt can never be assumed to have been caused by "fraud".

02:28 *macrohumanity has quit (Quit: Leaving)

02:28 DaemonFC; Whereas credit cards can.

02:28 DaemonFC; So if you knew you couldn't pay when you move it over, it may survive a bankruptcy.

02:28 schestowitz[TR]; Sompi: privatisation

02:29 schestowitz[TR]; you can even buy gov. bonnds

02:29 schestowitz[TR]; give your money to the sttate

02:29 schestowitz[TR]; it is your patriotic duty

02:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: The medical debt collectors heckle you to just move it to a credit card.

02:29 DaemonFC; Like this makes the problem stop, when it gets 10 times worse.

02:29 schestowitz[TR]; makes sense

02:30 DaemonFC; Stop answering the phone and don't put it on any sort of "loan".

02:30 DaemonFC; Or "Care Credit".

02:30 Sompi; schestowitz[TR]: The rules of economy that are imposed to the formerly sovereign countries by the EU are there just to force the national parliaments to privatize everything

02:30 TR News; Why were those "Swedish authorities and retailers" vulnerable to attacks in the first place? https://www.thelocal.se/20240122/swedish-authorities-and-retailers-try-to-get-back-online-in-wake-of-hacker-attack

02:30 TR Bot; Russian group behind hacker attack on Swedish authorities and retailers

02:31 Sompi; And that needs not to be the case

02:31 schestowitz[TR]; too late?

02:31 Sompi; But it is, because people don't understand anything about the workings of the monetary system

02:31 Sompi; It isn't even studied in school

02:31 schestowitz[TR]; no, it is not

02:31 schestowitz[TR]; there are many economic models

02:32 Sompi; They don't know what money is

02:32 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: A lot of people just cycle T-Bills right now.

02:32 schestowitz[TR]; but alternatives are not explained

02:32 Sompi; They think that money is created by the government

02:32 DaemonFC; You invest for weeks at a time and earn some interest and decide to roll over or move it back to the bank.

02:32 schestowitz[TR]; Sompi: i give you x

02:32 schestowitz[TR]; you give me y

02:32 schestowitz[TR]; can be goods or services

02:32 schestowitz[TR]; no money involved

02:32 Sompi; schestowitz[TR]: No. Even the system that we are currently using is not explained at all.

02:32 schestowitz[TR]; that's also a model

02:32 DaemonFC; T-Bills can be a good play, especially if you live in a high income tax state.

02:32 Sompi; And people don't know anything about it.

02:32 DaemonFC; They're not taxable by states.

02:33 schestowitz[TR]; example

02:33 schestowitz[TR]; a fixes web site for b

02:33 schestowitz[TR]; b invites a for dinner

02:33 schestowitz[TR]; that too is "economics"

02:33 schestowitz[TR]; but it is not "encouraged"

02:33 schestowitz[TR]; it's friends helpinng one another

02:33 schestowitz[TR]; or family

02:34 schestowitz[TR]; in the past people exchanged gold, coina

02:34 schestowitz[TR]; not paper (symbols)

02:34 schestowitz[TR]; actual material of perceived value

02:34 schestowitz[TR]; now there is no actual material to justify the barter

02:34 schestowitz[TR]; but they need to maintain some illusions

02:34 Sompi; Yes, but still the biggest problem is that everything is abstractized to a level where people don't know what money is, and don't understand how the currently established monetary system works

02:34 schestowitz[TR]; to keep it going as is

02:35 schestowitz[TR]; Sompi: did they ever know?

02:35 Sompi; And it is not taught at school, even in higher grades

02:35 Sompi; Not even in university level

02:38 Sompi; Now we have even financial ministers that don't seem to understand anything about the money system

02:38 Sompi; Particularly in the EU countries

02:38 schestowitz[TR]; because they are there owing to connections

02:38 schestowitz[TR]; not actual ability to run an economy

02:38 Sompi; They just genuinely don't seem to know what money is

02:38 schestowitz[TR]; they get "advisors"

02:39 schestowitz[TR]; in the private sector

02:39 schestowitz[TR]; to tell the "public" ssector ow to conduct itself

02:39 Sompi; I know, but still that's weird that it doesn't seem to bother them at all

02:39 Sompi; That they don't know what they are doing

02:39 schestowitz[TR]; i spoke to some meps

02:39 Sompi; I would become crazy

02:39 schestowitz[TR]; they are not too bright eithger, they raise money

02:39 schestowitz[TR]; buy a seat for a few years

02:39 schestowitz[TR]; vote here and there

02:40 schestowitz[TR]; and you cannot explain patents to them

02:40 schestowitz[TR]; even if you try

02:40 schestowitz[TR]; they just don't get it

02:40 schestowitz[TR]; they cannot srasp software freedom either

02:40 schestowitz[TR]; *grasp

02:40 schestowitz[TR]; they just know "Apple", "Microsoft" etc.

02:40 Sompi; Yes

02:41 schestowitz[TR]; they say people deserve what they get

02:41 schestowitz[TR]; for letting people like these govern their society

02:41 schestowitz[TR]; and nation, economy

02:41 Sompi; And I totally would not be okay with it, if I was in a situation where I don't understand anything about something that I am in charge of

02:41 schestowitz[TR]; and it unfolds this way

02:41 schestowitz[TR]; Sompi: connections

02:41 schestowitz[TR]; nepotism

02:41 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: I like what he's doing here.

02:41 schestowitz[TR]; one year you do home affairs

02:41 Sompi; But somehow those people seem to have such a mindset that they are totally ok with it

02:41 schestowitz[TR]; then another role

02:41 schestowitz[TR]; "economt"

02:42 schestowitz[TR]; then "sport minister"

02:42 DaemonFC; More people need to be made aware of all of these pushy Chinese people that are coming here, buying up land.

02:42 schestowitz[TR]; something like that

02:42 DaemonFC; Living Western lifestyles.

02:42 Sompi; I always need a thorough understanding about things

02:42 schestowitz[TR]; your job is to be on some web page

02:42 DaemonFC; And then demanding we pretend we're all in China.

02:42 schestowitz[TR]; while civil servants do all the work

02:42 schestowitz[TR]; and the advisors are private businesses

02:42 Sompi; But it also seems that the advisors don't know anything

02:42 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: I know why the British government is sensitive about this.

02:42 Sompi; Unless they are lobbyists

02:43 Sompi; And that's also bad

02:43 schestowitz[TR]; they are

02:43 DaemonFC; The RICH Chinese people are trying to exit because they don't like living under Xi themselves.

02:43 DaemonFC; And they bring money to the UK, which is broke.

02:43 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: the universities here depend on it

02:43 schestowitz[TR]; lots of money not just in tuition fees

02:43 DaemonFC; So you bring money and you get special treatment.

02:43 DaemonFC; Better than the Citizens.

02:43 DaemonFC; A lot of that here too.

02:44 DaemonFC; The US universities are very corrupt.

02:44 DaemonFC; And they can charge foreigners whatever they want and there's enough of them that someone will pay it.

02:44 schestowitz[TR]; they got sued and recently settled

02:44 schestowitz[TR]; you can look that up

02:44 DaemonFC; So our government doesn't care if Americans can afford an education or housing or anything.

02:44 schestowitz[TR]; it happened a week ago

02:44 schestowitz[TR]; they had to settlee

02:44 schestowitz[TR]; price-fixing iirc

02:44 schestowitz[TR]; over tuition feees

02:44 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: The problem isn't new.

02:44 schestowitz[TR]; which makes them look like rich peopke's diploma mills

02:45 schestowitz[TR]; a "ticker to THE CLUB"

02:45 DaemonFC; They are diploma mills for rich people.

02:45 schestowitz[TR]; "box office"

02:45 schestowitz[TR]; "the club'

02:45 DaemonFC; Because you get a worthless degree and you take it back to China for bragging rights.

02:45 DaemonFC; And then you're unemployable there, but you have all these degrees.

02:45 DaemonFC; The same thing our universities did to us.

02:45 DaemonFC; The Chinese are being scammed the same way because they weren't aware of what this does 20 years in.

02:45 schestowitz[TR]; i am not sure this is what happenns

02:46 schestowitz[TR]; from wwhat i see,

02:47 schestowitz[TR]; and it is not only china

02:47 schestowitz[TR]; the current system fake

02:47 DaemonFC; They spent years and years doing make work involving real estate.

02:47 schestowitz[TR]; faked jobs

02:47 DaemonFC; Now they knock down ghost cities they spent a lot of money to build.

02:47 *darwin has quit (Quit: Leaving)

02:47 schestowitz[TR]; "bullshit jobs" is one example

02:47 DaemonFC; They have one designed to resemble Paris.

02:48 schestowitz[TR]; just to keep people busy

02:48 schestowitz[TR]; but debts grew

02:48 schestowitz[TR]; those job add no value to the econmy

02:48 DaemonFC; Yes, China is growing massively indebted.

02:48 DaemonFC; Same as most others.

02:48 schestowitz[TR]; things like telemarketing acitvel slow down the productive people

02:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: In the 90s, telemarketing was really bad. We started getting answering machine messages about psychic readings.

02:49 schestowitz[TR]; we never get spam calls

02:49 DaemonFC; Then mom started calling them at $2 a minute just to run up dad's phone bill the last month she was there.

02:51 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: Mom was like MARISOL in that marriage.

02:51 DaemonFC; She was never happy with anything she had.

02:51 DaemonFC; She married twice more, doing a lot worse each time, then gave up.

02:51 DaemonFC; And now she tries to hide how bitter and disappointed she is about all of it.

02:54 Sompi; schestowitz[TR]: I have tried to explain the basic workings of the monetary system to my mother, but she just cannot grasp it at all. To her money is just some abstract concept that just magically comes from somewhere. And she works at the ministry of economics.

02:55 Sompi; And that seems to be the case with most people. They just don't grasp it at all.

02:57 Sompi; Somehow it doesn't bother them at all, that they don't even know where those coins and bills come from

02:59 Sompi; And I don't understand what is so hard about it. After all the system is very simple...

03:12 schestowitz[TR]; this is just part of the ongoing harassment

03:12 DaemonFC; [1/26/24 9:7 pm] <MinceR> if we only get rid of mibbit, they'll just connect via tor only

03:12 Sompi; that trolling is just stupidly childish

03:12 DaemonFC; Didn't you already get rid of Tor?

03:13 DaemonFC; Sompi: Maybe Lobsta fried the rest of his brain with weed psychosis.

03:13 DaemonFC; And is hallucinating transphobia again.

03:13 Sompi; You cannot get completely rid of tor

03:13 Sompi; Unless you ban every possible IP address, of course

03:13 MinceR; sort of

03:14 Sompi; Everything from (uint32_t)0 to (uint32_t)-1

03:14 MinceR; but those klines apply to hosts used by connections

03:14 DaemonFC; Ontario covers the troon surgery but nobody thought to X-Ray him to see about getting those crayons out of his brain from Special Ed.

03:14 TR Bot; Tux Machines Today in Techrights

03:14 MinceR; in the case of mibbit, you see a connection from mibbit and the username and realname hold information on where the connection to mibbit came from

03:14 MinceR; web irc gateways generally work like that

03:14 Sompi; And even that will not completely ban tor. You also need to ban every ipv6 address

03:14 MinceR; tor does have an exit node list

03:15 MinceR; and i think there are RBLs that also use that list, so you can do DNS lookups

03:15 Sompi; Does the list have every exit node?

03:15 MinceR; it's supposed to

03:15 Sompi; How is it technically possible?

03:16 MinceR; Tor is supposed to be programmed to report when it's running as an exit node

03:16 Sompi; Yes, but what if it doesn't?

03:16 MinceR; and Tor makes that list

03:16 MinceR; not sure

03:16 TR News; Techrights Over at Tux Machines... http://news.techrights.org/n/2024/01/27/Over_at_Tux_Machines.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2024/01/27/Over_at_Tux_Machines.gmi

03:16 TR Bot; Techrights Over at Tux Machines...

03:16 MinceR; if the Tor node isn't reported, presumably Tor won't direct traffic to it

03:16 MinceR; if it just claims not to be an exit node, maybe it won't be used as an exit node in routes

03:16 MinceR; but i don't know a lot about how this works

03:17 Sompi; The exit node can have two IP addresses, and one of them is only used for the purpose of the exit node, without reporting it to the list

03:17 MinceR; i see

03:17 Sompi; At least I think so

03:17 Sompi; Then the other IP address uses the tor protocol itself

03:18 DaemonFC; Libera Chat blocks Tor.

03:18 DaemonFC; They demand that you connect from it in a way that exposes you personally.

03:19 DaemonFC; I just signed up for another account months ago from a McDonalds.

03:19 DaemonFC; Nobody has figured out who I am yet on that one.

03:20 Sompi; Are they actively trying to doxx their users?

03:20 DaemonFC; Yes.

03:20 Sompi; :(

03:20 DaemonFC; They try to maintain a list of VPN servers and then k-line them unless they use a registered nickname with SASL.

05:42 schestowitz[TR]; Skype is barely used anymore

05:51 DaemonFC; Then they spend all the taxpayer money on Brandon Lobster, a criminal who smokes weed and harasses the cops and crown prosecutor for rightfully being arrested?

05:51 schestowitz[TR]; it's an unofficial polict

05:51 schestowitz[TR]; 1) we cannot help them

05:51 DaemonFC; It just....This is beyond fucked.

05:51 schestowitz[TR]; 2) they will die sooner or later

05:51 schestowitz[TR]; 3) they will eliminate themselves or each other

05:52 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: In my opinion, weed doesn't make normal people go crazy.

05:52 schestowitz[TR]; <DaemonFC> Why are they so bad to people who serve their country...

05:52 schestowitz[TR]; it is not serve the country

05:52 DaemonFC; It makes crazy people go even more wacko.

05:52 schestowitz[TR]; it is serving SOME elements of the country

05:52 schestowitz[TR]; like some corporations

05:52 schestowitz[TR]; the US has not much to gaain from some of the wars

05:52 schestowitz[TR]; the citizens did not benefit from it

05:52 schestowitz[TR]; their infra rots

05:52 DaemonFC; Smoking weed basically throws gasoline on mental illness and then tosses in a match.

05:52 schestowitz[TR]; while they bomb some other nations's infra

05:53 schestowitz[TR]; half a globe away

05:53 DaemonFC; It's a very very bad idea for people who have Bipolar or Schizophrenia to smoke weed.

05:53 DaemonFC; Whatever mental illness is there, it can make flare up.

05:53 DaemonFC; It's hardly the worst drug out there.

05:54 DaemonFC; If I had cancer or something I'd probably get a medical card eventually for medically necessary (You're dying anyway. What difference does it make?) relief from pain.

05:56 DaemonFC; Most of the recreational sales go to criminals and unemployed nutcases that sit around being bought off to smoke weed and masturbate all day.

6 AM, January 27

06:00 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: For $129 for the visit the doctor isn't in there giving you hours of assessment and therapy and then consulting with a panel of experts.

06:00 DaemonFC; :)

06:01 DaemonFC; If word gets around among the druggies and criminals who want a weed card that this place makes sure you really have a condition, this place (at a strip mall that's falling apart, because you get the best healthcare at those places) would go under.

06:01 DaemonFC; MinceR: ^

06:01 DaemonFC; :D

06:02 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: Then it gets even better.

06:03 DaemonFC; So to avoid the taxes, you have to pay $175 to the State for the card, which means it's only worth it if you smoke an enormous amount of weed, and then when you get the card, every cop you drive by sees you have a weed card when your plate gets scanned.

06:03 DaemonFC; And like I said earlier, if you have any guns, you're in trouble with the feds because you've just admitted you smoke weed. Why else would you pay $175 for the card every 3 years?

06:04 DaemonFC; Brandon Lobster comes in to buy....a pallet of weed....for his Autism. Which turns into weed psychosis.

06:04 DaemonFC; :)

06:04 DaemonFC; Hehehe.

06:05 DaemonFC; Those are the only people who break even on the card.

06:05 DaemonFC; "A pallet of weed? A PALLET of weed!? Where would you even get this? Is this available at CostCo under Kirkland Signature Brand?"

06:06 DaemonFC; Suddenly the $1.50 hotdogs make sense.

06:19 TR Bot; Texas fertility rate increased after abortion restrictions | The Texas Tribune

06:19 schestowitz[TR]; and... iirc gtk4 is tied to opengl

06:19 DaemonFC; Not being able to get an abortion makes you more "fertile"?

06:19 schestowitz[TR]; or something like graphics directives

06:19 schestowitz[TR]; so that means it won't work in some hardware or contexts

06:19 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: they redefine words

06:20 schestowitz[TR]; unemployment is

06:20 schestowitz[TR]; not unemployment

06:20 schestowitz[TR]; "unemployment"

06:20 schestowitz[TR]; with quotes

06:20 schestowitz[TR]; is

06:20 schestowitz[TR]; number of people actively seeking a job

06:20 schestowitz[TR]; people who gave up are not "unemployed" anymore

06:20 schestowitz[TR]; likewise, with fertility

06:20 schestowitz[TR]; you assume people must get pregrnmant every 9 months

06:21 schestowitz[TR]; since the women turns 12 or whatever

06:21 schestowitz[TR]; so

06:21 schestowitz[TR]; if she can conceiveee every 9 months

06:21 schestowitz[TR]; till age 40

06:21 schestowitz[TR]; then, twins and failed pregnancy aside,

06:21 schestowitz[TR]; that's about 25 babies

06:21 schestowitz[TR]; or 35

06:21 schestowitz[TR]; so any woman with 34 babies

06:22 schestowitz[TR]; even from different man

06:22 schestowitz[TR]; is VERY fertile

06:22 schestowitz[TR]; national fertility is median or average

06:22 schestowitz[TR]; so high fertility has nothing to do with biology

06:22 schestowitz[TR]; it is about how often the woman is knocked up

06:22 schestowitz[TR]; and delivers a baby

06:23 schestowitz[TR]; that's what the modern use of the word "fertility" means

06:23 schestowitz[TR]; not related to men's or women's health

06:23 schestowitz[TR]; you can have one guy impregnate several women

06:23 schestowitz[TR]; and not stay with them

06:23 schestowitz[TR]; that''s also "fertility"

06:23 schestowitz[TR]; though it says nothing about the country being well off

06:24 schestowitz[TR]; esp. if the parents neglect their kids

06:24 schestowitz[TR]; the world's richest nations per capita have "low fertility"

06:24 schestowitz[TR]; explanation #1: they focus on things that matter, thus prosper

06:24 schestowitz[TR]; explanation #2: they cannot bear kids, so focus on other things

06:24 schestowitz[TR]; explanation #3: they are smart, so realise overpopulation is an issue

06:25 schestowitz[TR]; explanation #3: they are not religious, won't reproduce like bunnies

06:25 schestowitz[TR]; explanation #5: their health system is strong, good midwiives, so they trust child mortality to stay low

07:27 DaemonFC; > A transactor is a consumer who pays their credit card statement balance in full and on time every month. Transactors do not carry a balance from month to month; they always pay their credit card bills in full by the due date. Transactors do not pay interest or late fees.

07:27 DaemonFC; > The only way credit card companies make money off of transactors is by cross-selling them to other financial products and from the percentage fees paid by merchants on each transaction the transactor charges to their card. Credit cards can often serve as lead generators for other lucrative lines of business, such as mortgages or banking accounts.

07:52 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: Banks absolutely will not lower interest rates on credit cards used by transactors.

07:52 DaemonFC; To get them to lower an interest rate, you have to carry a substantial debt burden on their card and call in and basically make it sound like you're in financial trouble, but not too dire.

07:52 DaemonFC; And ask them to help you out a bit.

07:52 DaemonFC; And then you might get a 2-3 point decrease because "you're such a good customer".

07:54 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: The way most people keep the charade going is they max out a card then open another one and do a "balance transfer".

07:54 DaemonFC; Typically the new card will say 0% interest on transferring a "balance" from another card after a 3% flat fee, for 21 months.

07:54 schestowitz[TR]; :/

07:55 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: What they don't appear to have noticed is me taking that check, writing it to another bank, investing it in a CD at 5.2% or something, then paying them back before the balance APR resets.

20:52 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: Those web IRC things that act like a proxy are obviously going to be trouble.

20:53 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: There's a DDoS-protection script on someone's GitHub account that Kiwi Farms adapted since the criminals that don't like them and try to DDoS them got the DDoS protection services to drop them.

20:55 DaemonFC; Almost all of the attacks against Kiwi Farms are from some pedophile that thought nobody would ever catch onto them if they ONLY publicly posted about it on Twitter and Instagram and stuff.

20:55 DaemonFC; Typically they claim the same sort of bullshit that Lobster is trying on you.

20:55 DaemonFC; You can't screenshot someone's Twitter.

20:57 DaemonFC; It's some pretty sick shit that they post publicly and then they wonder why suddenly everyone knows they like little kids after they posted about it on Twitter or something.

20:58 DaemonFC; Basically "how to get away with a crime 101" should include "And don't post a video about it on Facebook." I feel this should be included.

20:59 DaemonFC; The police love Facebook because all the dumbest people go there and spill.

9 PM, January 27

21:00 DaemonFC; Like that woman that used Facebook messenger to talk to her daughter about an abortion, and then the state prosecutor just hits Facebook and they turn over the chats.

21:00 DaemonFC; And now the mother and daughter are in prison.

21:03 DaemonFC; MinceR: Well, private schools get a bad reputation, but it's mostly from the fat worthless overpaid teacher's union people.

21:03 DaemonFC; The people that end up in private school were all having issues that public schools don't help resolve.

21:04 DaemonFC; Like, bullying, the people who end up having to drop out of public school were on the receiving end, and the system is set up to help the bully not get in any trouble for it.

21:04 DaemonFC; The government doesn't want people to get in any trouble for being a sadistic fuck because later on when they go recruiting in the high schools for the military, they want those people where they can find them.

21:04 DaemonFC; So it's the victim that gets treated like an offender.

21:05 DaemonFC; So what you find in the school disciplinary system is that the worst kids go to public school, where they stay, and the administration circles the wagons around them if they have to deal with any allegations.

21:07 DaemonFC; This is helped along by the fact that if you start causing severe behavioral issues in a private school, they just throw you out so that the others will learn their assignments and then you have to go to the island of misfit toys where people who are utterly poor send kids who are growing up to be rapists, bank robbers, carjackers, and pedos, because the public school has to enroll them by law.

21:07 DaemonFC; By the second time I was in private school, things settled down.

21:09 DaemonFC; Our teacher was very nice, there wasn't any shuffling around from one classroom to the next, most of the kids there were not thriving well in public school because they were missing out on the "criminal proclivity" genes like most of the trash that they had to endure while they were there, and the worst thing you could maybe say about anyone in that school was they might be on the spectrum or something. But it was all at grade level.

21:09 DaemonFC; I mean, you still learned grade level math and everything, it's not like what Canada probably did with the lobster and stuck him in the Special Ed to shove crayons up his nose.

21:11 DaemonFC; I've seen less passable women than the lobster, but not very many. There was this one in school that was as big as a water buffalo and about as intelligent when I was in public school for a few years.

21:11 DaemonFC; People stopped bothering to make fun of you for getting beaten up by a girl because she was so retarded that she got held back like 3 grades by that point and had gone through puberty and was still in 5th grade.

21:12 DaemonFC; I think her name was Robin Jones.

21:12 DaemonFC; Or Robyn.

21:12 DaemonFC; I don't recall the spelling.

21:12 DaemonFC; She probably grew up to be the hippo woman from Rocko's Modern Life.

21:12 DaemonFC; "HOW DARE YOU!"

21:12 DaemonFC; Living in a trailer somewhere. Chain smoking. Living on the dole.

21:15 DaemonFC; MinceR: I still can't get over the police getting a second "electronics detection dog".

21:15 DaemonFC; "Oh you want to look in the air return vent? No Problem! BARK BARK!"

21:16 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: If you don't like the 4th Amendment, just say the dog barked wherever you want to toss.

21:16 DaemonFC; :P

21:17 DaemonFC; Then the cops can just utterly destroy the person's house until they find *something*.

21:17 DaemonFC; Not even necessarily the thing they went in there for.

21:26 DaemonFC; People graduating high school today ask me a "simple math" question and are stunned when I answer them without thinking very much about it.

21:27 DaemonFC; Then they're on an iPhone trying to make sure I got the correct answer.

21:27 DaemonFC; It's very pathetic.

21:27 schestowitz[TR]; "The new detail was provided in vaguely worded language included in a post Microsoft published on Thursday. It expanded on a disclosure Microsoft published late last Friday.

From there, they somehow acq

21:27 schestowitz[TR]; uired the ability to access email accounts that belonged to senior executives and employees working in security and legal teams.

21:27 schestowitz[TR]; "

21:27 DaemonFC; The schools tried to change math so that it doesn't make any sense at all, based on prompting from a fraud who dropped out of college (Bill Gates).

21:27 DaemonFC; So maybe this is what's gone wrong.

21:28 DaemonFC; They don't want your parents helping you, or being able to help you, with your homework, despite having learned everything they should have learned in K-12, more or less.

21:28 DaemonFC; Because the ultimate goal of the State is to sweep the parents aside, make them irrelevant, and have the child all to themselves.

21:29 DaemonFC; They really want to supplant the idea of mother and father entirely. This is where "Parent 1" and "Parent 2" came from.

21:30 DaemonFC; They change the language, bog "Parent 1 and Parent 2" down with so much work they can't even see the kid, and then replace "Parent 1 and 2" with "Head Start" and "New Math" making them wholly irrelevant.

21:30 DaemonFC; Except to pay and pay to feed and clothe and house children they have no role in raising anymore.

21:31 DaemonFC; Make no mistake, "Universal Pre-K" is a State takeover of preschool because when the government isn't running that, they miss formative years where they can brainwash the child. This is not acceptable.

21:33 DaemonFC; This is a scheme to destroy individualism and self-reliance. The government does it in other ways too. Like saying you owe $8,000 a year "property tax" on "the home you own" and that you're not allowed to have a vegetable garden or capture rain in barrels.

21:33 DaemonFC; The government also chips away at gun rights because it doesn't want an armed public that is any threat at all to government agents.

21:34 DaemonFC; It wants us to be more like the UK where the police have such a docile and controllable population that they can make life horrendous and still send out cops that don't have any guns. Their main problem is there were so many guns already they'll never find them all.

21:35 DaemonFC; Consider this. The attitude of that lady cop in London that was upbraiding that gentleman that was playing the piano at the mall on behalf of some Red Chinese who acted as though they came to the UK and took Chinese law with them (because they did!).

21:35 DaemonFC; She's standing there, without a gun! A lady cop with no gun, stepping forward, breathing down someone's neck, yelling at him on behalf of some Communists when he hasn't even broken a law.

21:36 DaemonFC; No cop in the US would be this stupid.

21:36 DaemonFC; In the US when they want to get fresh with you, they've got their hand on their gun for effect.

21:37 DaemonFC; At least when they want to be intimidating, they have to have some credible way to back it up.

21:37 DaemonFC; In the UK, they don't.

21:37 DaemonFC; If that lady cop in the London Met got in some black guy's face in Chicago he would have just busted her up real good or shot her, honestly. They do that with the ones who are armed.

21:38 DaemonFC; She wouldn't have taken that attitude, I guarantee it.

21:38 DaemonFC; Here they just shoot the cops and run off.

21:38 DaemonFC; And nobody ever finds them and the Mayor says the police can't even have a funeral for the cop because of the cold germ.

21:49 DaemonFC; I think if we can't get this entire law scrapped we should start attacking it piecemeal and see what we can have trimmed.

21:50 DaemonFC; There's dozens of provisions and that means even if we only get several of them stricken, the law isn't as bad.

21:57 schestowitz[TR]; fediverse has many issues

21:57 DaemonFC; Yeah, being in the most hostile country for copyright and privacy, the United States.

21:57 DaemonFC; Nice baseline.

21:57 schestowitz[TR]; i was in fediverse when it was new

21:57 schestowitz[TR]; i left some years ago

21:57 schestowitz[TR]; fediverse is less free speech-tolerant than old twitter

21:57 schestowitz[TR]; you are "Safe" in fediverse if people agree with you

21:58 schestowitz[TR]; it is groupthink

21:58 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: The United States is basically anarchy as long as you don't get in the way of the rich or some politicians.

21:58 DaemonFC; They've separated things out into a system where the rich live in enclaves where they get everything they want, the law ignores their crimes and protects them entirely from crime committed by less important people.

21:58 DaemonFC; The idea of "equality due to citizenship" is a complete joke.

21:58 schestowitz[TR]; it may not matter what is trigh

21:58 schestowitz[TR]; right

21:58 schestowitz[TR]; or what is wrong

21:59 schestowitz[TR]; if someone's feelings on "fediverse" are hurt

21:59 schestowitz[TR]; so fediverse is sill problematic in many ways

21:59 DaemonFC; To get in trouble in the US, your victim must be seen as having more status than you.

21:59 DaemonFC; The only reason they did anything about my ex is because the system is set up to hurt people like him more than it is to hurt people like me anyway.

22:00 TR News; The inspection finally arrived gemini://rochelimit.uk/gemlog.gmi

22:01 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: For example, if you have a house and someone appears to be trespassing on your land, the cops basically just take your word for it and hurt him a lot. Because he doesn't have land. That makes him less important.

22:01 TR News; "I recently heard about a new systems programming language, Hare, so I decided to give it a spin. I haven't used it enough to give a full review, or to really even speak to strengths, I might do that later." gemini://space.matthewphillips.info/posts/installing-hare-freebsd/

22:03 DaemonFC; He came out and started yelling and threatening my dad because my dad allegedly mowed about 3-4 inches over onto the neighbor's grass.

22:03 DaemonFC; No normal person ever raises a problem over things like this, but some get extremely aggressive.

22:04 DaemonFC; To the point that mowing 3-4" over on their lawn has them come out and threaten you.

22:52 schestowitz[TR]; 25?

22:52 schestowitz[TR]; for men's?

22:52 DaemonFC; So really by the time you're done you need like $850 income so you have $720 left that year for haircuts.

22:52 DaemonFC; For two people.

22:52 schestowitz[TR]; here you can still find 10 for short

22:53 schestowitz[TR]; sometimes 12

22:53 schestowitz[TR]; that's in pounds

22:53 DaemonFC; Some of them will cut you some slack if you want a single length buzz cut.

22:53 DaemonFC; Like $15-16 plus a tip and tax.

22:53 schestowitz[TR]; still high

22:54 schestowitz[TR]; 10 pct tip?

23:03 schestowitz[TR]; here it is terrorism

23:03 schestowitz[TR]; not pedophiles

23:03 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: Here's the problem with things like the UN.

23:03 schestowitz[TR]; hence the severity

23:03 DaemonFC; Not many countries are going to sign onto something that infringes on their sovereignty.

23:03 DaemonFC; So you have alleged "world courts" that can't make anyone do anything.

23:04 DaemonFC; They can rule however they want but it's symbolic.

23:04 DaemonFC; You have things like UNSC, where five countries veto almost everything that comes up.

23:04 DaemonFC; So the UNSC doesn't matter and groups of similarly-minded countries get together and deal with the problems themselves.

23:04 DaemonFC; Like the US-UK joint operations against the Houthis.

23:06 schestowitz[TR]; i was grossed out

23:06 schestowitz[TR]; when some sites I followed pleaded for the rights of terrorisms

23:06 DaemonFC; But that's costing us too much money for what it's worth.

23:06 schestowitz[TR]; *terrorists rather

23:06 DaemonFC; It's become a sort of blackmail.

23:06 schestowitz[TR]; in that context,

23:06 schestowitz[TR]; it's people shooting rockers at boats of all flags

23:06 DaemonFC; Pay your dues or Russia and China take over and the UN becomes a puppet for autocrats and Communists.

23:06 schestowitz[TR]; oil, cargo, anytthing

23:07 schestowitz[TR]; even russian boats

23:07 schestowitz[TR]; at ranndom

23:07 DaemonFC; So we stay and make sure that it doesn't do anything at all.

23:07 schestowitz[TR]; pretending attacking boats is like "activism"

23:07 schestowitz[TR]; so why not shoot reckons back at thee terroriists?

23:07 schestowitz[TR]; while they actively do all this?

23:07 schestowitz[TR]; this is why it was framed as self-defence

23:08 schestowitz[TR]; if you have to go AROUND panama you burn tons more energy

23:08 schestowitz[TR]; more so suez

23:08 schestowitz[TR]; so you destroy the planet

23:08 schestowitz[TR]; in panama it is low tide

23:08 schestowitz[TR]; worsened by climate change anbd deforestation

23:08 DaemonFC; Heavier cargo ships.

23:08 schestowitz[TR]; and boats going all around africa means more warming

23:09 schestowitz[TR]; a lot of the world's pollution comes from vessels

23:09 DaemonFC; In some cases they can scrape bottom while the kinds of traffic it was designed to handle works fine.

23:09 schestowitz[TR]; i forgot the %

23:09 schestowitz[TR]; moving one-million-ton boars around takes a lot of combustion

23:09 schestowitz[TR]; *boats

23:09 schestowitz[TR]; rianne and I worked for a company like that

23:09 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: They load the boats so far above capacity now that they routinely lose cargo into the sea.

23:09 DaemonFC; More than ever before.

23:16 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: Here's the thing about Reddit's "download our app to look at porn" thing.

23:16 DaemonFC; They have immunity if anything illegal ends up being there as long as they remove it upon becoming aware of it.

23:16 TR News; Microsoft/Github is mostly by/for newbs who "can't git"; it's why many of the projects there use toy P/Ls and have lousy licences. The "grown-ups" don't use Github.

23:17 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: now "X" too

23:17 DaemonFC; But there is no immunity from being arrested for accidentally clicking on something you shouldn't see, even if it is on Reddit and should be a "safe site" since it's moderated.

23:17 schestowitz[TR]; see the many articles re taylor swift

23:17 schestowitz[TR]; and how slow they were to remove fake nudes

23:17 DaemonFC; Reddit harvests IP addresses and god knows what they grab from your phone.

23:17 DaemonFC; So they log everything you look at.

23:17 schestowitz[TR]; after perhaps 100 million people saw these

23:17 schestowitz[TR]; many assumed those were real

23:17 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: yes

23:17 schestowitz[TR]; it is also why they sell data

23:17 DaemonFC; Which means they have immunity if someone uploads CP but you have no immunity from accidentally seeing it on Reddit, in their app, where you are personally identified and logged.

23:17 schestowitz[TR]; and their site demands JS

23:18 DaemonFC; So the best thing to do is not look at Reddit.

23:18 schestowitz[TR]; is old.reddit still working?

23:18 schestowitz[TR]; for how llong?

23:18 DaemonFC; Yeah, it is.

23:18 schestowitz[TR]; twitter killed mobile.twitter.com in 2020

23:18 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: New and Old Reddit work in Tor Browser.

23:19 DaemonFC; So when I go to Reddit, I use Tor Browser on top of a VPN server in another country.

23:19 schestowitz[TR]; i don't trust tor enough

23:19 schestowitz[TR]; and neither should you

23:19 schestowitz[TR]; tor is ok when

23:19 DaemonFC; With a fake account leading back to a fake email address that I only ever access through Tor Browser over a VPN.

23:19 schestowitz[TR]; -you hide from states with little leverage over tor

23:19 schestowitz[TR]; -you don't go over some threshold

23:19 schestowitz[TR]; here is the thing

23:19 DaemonFC; That way, if they compile a list of something my account visited on Reddit while logged in, they have no idea who has that account.

23:19 schestowitz[TR]; i spoke to the police the other day

23:19 schestowitz[TR]; and they told me

23:19 schestowitz[TR]; if someone uses vpn

23:20 schestowitz[TR]; or tor

23:20 schestowitz[TR]; it takes them a lot of work

23:20 schestowitz[TR]; i may cover this in the future

23:20 DaemonFC; Of course it does.

23:20 schestowitz[TR]; in manchester they have a cybercrime team

23:20 schestowitz[TR]; i was talking to them

23:20 DaemonFC; It involves encryption and multiple jurisdictions.

23:20 schestowitz[TR]; they told me how long it takes

23:20 DaemonFC; So even if the VPN does log and know who you are, the police have to deal with something in another country.

23:20 schestowitz[TR]; not just to get the technical obstacles

23:20 schestowitz[TR]; but the legal paperwork

23:20 schestowitz[TR]; to unmask the people who commited crimes

23:20 schestowitz[TR]; ahgainst me

23:21 schestowitz[TR]; my wife

23:21 schestowitz[TR]; and others

23:21 schestowitz[TR]; like, for example

23:21 schestowitz[TR]; harassment online, cracking attempts, harassment of relatives

23:21 schestowitz[TR]; so it's a matter of

23:21 schestowitz[TR]; 1) time

23:21 schestowitz[TR]; 2) cost

23:21 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR]: At the very least, it makes it a hassle for them.

23:21 DaemonFC; Not lending itself to automated or very crude policing tactics.

23:21 schestowitz[TR]; and they would rather focus on murder cases

23:21 schestowitz[TR]; before acctivist sites

23:21 DaemonFC; Yeah, that's what you're going for.

23:21 schestowitz[TR]; so tor created a cast thicket

23:22 schestowitz[TR]; like, it takes more time

23:22 schestowitz[TR]; hence more money

23:22 schestowitz[TR]; to unmask

23:22 DaemonFC; It's more work for them. They have SRS BSNS going on at the police station.

23:22 schestowitz[TR]; but we have leaks

23:22 DaemonFC; You're just not that important.

23:22 DaemonFC; That's the idea.

23:22 schestowitz[TR]; that i never published

23:22 schestowitz[TR]; and clearly prove they admit their crimes

23:22 DaemonFC; Perfect security doesn't exist. Good enough security maybe.

23:22 schestowitz[TR]; in their own words

23:22 schestowitz[TR]; so it's not a lack of evidence

23:22 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, back to original topic, reddit

23:22 schestowitz[TR]; the company is conde nast

23:23 schestowitz[TR]; they have magazines

23:23 schestowitz[TR]; and "b2b"

23:23 schestowitz[TR]; you know aht that is, right?

23:23 DaemonFC; Yeah, they want to know what you look at, including, especially, all the smut.

23:23 schestowitz[TR]; they combine "media" sites with "marketing"

23:23 DaemonFC; And they want to personally identify you as you do it.

23:23 MinceR; 27 224513 <@DaemonFC> They say a shotgun is okay for home defense.

23:23 schestowitz[TR]; and the data is eollected via "media"

23:23 MinceR; USAS-12?

23:23 schestowitz[TR]; then shared

23:23 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: yes

23:23 schestowitz[TR]; this is one of many

23:23 schestowitz[TR]; see:

23:24 schestowitz[TR]; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25118156

23:24 TR Bot; NSA 'planned to discredit radicals over web-porn use' - BBC News

23:24 schestowitz[TR]; the short story: blackmail

23:24 schestowitz[TR]; they want ammo and leverage

23:24 schestowitz[TR]; "we know what you wanked to last summer"

23:24 MinceR; 27 221501 <@DaemonFC> MinceR: I still can't get over the police getting a second "electronics detection dog".

23:24 MinceR; will there be charges for possession of electronics?

23:24 schestowitz[TR]; "it would be ashame if fellow extemists found out"

23:24 schestowitz[TR]; like tht time they recorded mlk having sex

23:24 schestowitz[TR]; and now with his partner

23:24 schestowitz[TR]; *not

23:25 schestowitz[TR]; in the uk, police sometimes slips bugs

23:25 schestowitz[TR]; as in listening devices

23:25 schestowitz[TR]; into homes and carss

23:25 schestowitz[TR]; but usually only in high-priority cases

23:25 schestowitz[TR]; like, if they suspect one plots a terror attacks

23:25 schestowitz[TR]; *attack

23:25 schestowitz[TR]; heck, maybe they can join the ujk

23:25 schestowitz[TR]; *un

23:26 schestowitz[TR]; WHILE plotting

23:26 schestowitz[TR]; and then the un pretends it's a horrible mistake

23:26 schestowitz[TR]; in the un, maybe only a quarter of the members are civilised

23:26 schestowitz[TR]; many are sent by people like mo bin salman

23:26 schestowitz[TR]; delegates of people who behead women

23:26 schestowitz[TR]; and decapitate gays

23:26 schestowitz[TR]; because, as MinceR points out,

23:27 schestowitz[TR]; the human 'race' is awful

23:31 DaemonFC; That's basically how taxes, every law, and parenting requirements work.

23:31 schestowitz[TR]; but in the past death was more common
