6 AM, July 31

06:21 schestowitz[TR2]; So yesterday afternoon I reported to the police another (new) crime from MG and his online collaborators.

06:22 schestowitz[TR2]; I am still working on the text with full narrative and defence talking points

06:22 schestowitz[TR2]; they obviously try to interfere with it

06:22 schestowitz[TR2]; and add up more abuses

06:23 schestowitz[TR2]; but I will publish a lot about this in the future

06:23 schestowitz[TR2]; i did not forget and move on

06:23 schestowitz[TR2]; just batching

06:23 schestowitz[TR2]; it's quite long so far, now 98 pages in length.

06:24 schestowitz[TR2]; This should be extensive enough to do a detailed series

06:24 schestowitz[TR2]; the law firm will meanwhile draft a solid Defence.

06:24 schestowitz[TR2]; MG already sent about 50l pounds to the uk

06:25 schestowitz[TR2]; he is gambling his life savings on attacking critics

06:25 schestowitz[TR2]; which is... well, insane

06:26 schestowitz[TR2]; the big irc networks

06:26 schestowitz[TR2]; like the former freenode

06:26 schestowitz[TR2]; and now libera and oftc

06:27 schestowitz[TR2]; they facilitate these abusers

06:27 schestowitz[TR2]; probably nor realising what's going on

06:27 schestowitz[TR2]; mastodon does crack down on them

06:27 schestowitz[TR2]; to their credit

06:27 schestowitz[TR2]; at least mastodon understands what's going on

06:27 schestowitz[TR2]; GNOME Foundation is protecting the abusers

06:28 schestowitz[TR2]; Robert McQueen at al ban people

06:28 schestowitz[TR2]; even elected people

06:28 schestowitz[TR2]; without bothering to explain why

06:28 schestowitz[TR2]; and then they tell us Trump is a threat to democracy (he is)

06:28 schestowitz[TR2]; failing to see their own hypocrisy

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; "His buddies are meanwhile committing some more crimes. And leave us chasing fake accounts, too.

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; > Suspended or actually deleted?

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; >

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; > I suppose screen shots or other relevant evidence have been reported to

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; > the police first.

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; Yes, and I made copies.

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; It seems they've deleted it.

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; > I don't suppose the Usenet harassment is related or relevant. Did that

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; > ever let up?

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; NNTP works differently."

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; what we wrote a year ago aged well

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; about the lapdog

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; they are still at it

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; they did not stop

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; "> Also, is there a marker indicating that the fraudulent account has been removed for being fraudulent? Would that even be helpful?

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; All the pages/posts are totally gone now.

06:29 schestowitz[TR2]; This is the desired outcome because I don't need my face saying shit like unabomber is a good guy. or abusing rianne and my mom, with their photos uploaded!"

06:30 schestowitz[TR2]; So there is always "cleanup work" needed

06:30 schestowitz[TR2]; of fake accounts

06:30 schestowitz[TR2]; they are banned from IRC

06:30 schestowitz[TR2]; so they took their criminal acts elsewhere

06:30 schestowitz[TR2]; trying to link people to terrorism

06:30 schestowitz[TR2]; impersonating etc.

07:43 IsambardPrince; That doesn't mean you need a ton of credit cards or to pay a bunch of interest, or fees for credit builder products.

07:44 IsambardPrince; There's lots of ways to "get a credit score" without posing much of a threat to yourself.

07:44 schestowitz[TR2]; this myth was apread in the UK as well

07:44 schestowitz[TR2]; that it's "wise" to borrow

07:44 schestowitz[TR2]; because then you have "score"

07:44 IsambardPrince; Pretty much all you need to do is have an account or two, pay the bill on time, in full, and you'll never pay interest.

07:44 schestowitz[TR2]; and if you do not borrow, "no score"

07:45 schestowitz[TR2]; it's liike saying "i have no history of recovering from an STD"

07:45 IsambardPrince; You don't technically need to borrow any money.

07:45 schestowitz[TR2]; does that make you a worse person?

07:45 IsambardPrince; You just need to pay the card by the statement due date and you will never pay interest.

07:45 schestowitz[TR2]; does that mean you never contracted an STD

07:45 schestowitz[TR2]; or what?

07:45 IsambardPrince; Many people have had an STD and have been successfully treated for it.

07:45 IsambardPrince; Or don't even know they have one.

07:46 IsambardPrince; Many of them have no symptoms.

07:46 schestowitz[TR2]; so they have "STD score"?

07:46 schestowitz[TR2]; for your landlord?

07:46 IsambardPrince; They just silently lay dormant,use you to spread.

07:46 IsambardPrince; Wait to "go off".

07:46 IsambardPrince; Cancer, irreversible insanity, etc.

07:46 IsambardPrince; (HPV/Syphilis...)

07:47 IsambardPrince; Many STIs have a long incubation phase or an asymptomatic host.

07:50 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: The way it works is this....With the credit scores.

07:50 IsambardPrince; By the time you encounter a situation where you DO need one.

07:50 IsambardPrince; It's too late if you don't have one.

07:50 IsambardPrince; Because they take 6 months or so to score you once they see anything debt related that you're handling.

07:50 IsambardPrince; And it takes years to get the best ratings.

07:51 IsambardPrince; Vantage Scores can take as little as a month, but almost nobody uses that.

07:52 IsambardPrince; Even if you get someone to add you as an Authorized User to a good account with a long history, lenders see "Authorized" as the Responsibility and assign it little weight.

07:53 IsambardPrince; What's worse is that being an Authorized User can backfire too.

07:53 IsambardPrince; If a person starts missing payments or gets a charge off while you're an AU on their account, it reflects badly on you.

07:53 IsambardPrince; So once you get your own credit history, you want to be removed from their accounts.

07:54 IsambardPrince; That way if they ever drop the ball, it won't start digging into your credit rating.

07:55 IsambardPrince; Then when I started getting accounts, I did it in reverse so that he'd get a better score and we'd both sort of ride each other's accounts for a while.

07:59 IsambardPrince; You don't need to be Muslim to buy a house on installments.

07:59 IsambardPrince; It happens all the time where I'm from.

07:59 IsambardPrince; A local realtor will buy the house and agree to sell it rent-to-own.

07:59 ciphrCat; indeed, thats what my hacker brain was deriving.. that we must all have that option to get a different deal

07:59 IsambardPrince; If you cancel the contract, typically you get a refund on the amount that was set aside, plus interest.

08:00 ciphrCat; but there would be less competition, so probably not interesting in the end

08:00 IsambardPrince; Well, most people where I'm from don't have a credit score.

08:01 IsambardPrince; You're buying a house a bit at a time and instead of interest payments, there's a rental phase.

08:02 IsambardPrince; In the end it adds up and the landlord hands you the deed.

08:02 IsambardPrince; Houses are cheap there because everyone's poor.

08:02 ciphrCat; IsambardPrince: im not grasping what the muslim ideology is that condemns interest. What exactly is the problem with interest?

08:02 IsambardPrince; So you're talking about $20,000-40,000 for a typical two story house.

08:02 IsambardPrince; With a lawn and garage.

08:03 IsambardPrince; ciphrCat: In Islam, interest is haram (forbidden).

08:03 IsambardPrince; It's considered usury at any rate it's charged.

08:03 IsambardPrince; Where I live now, most people can't buy a house because it's about $400,000 and up.

08:04 IsambardPrince; The Democrats have everything so jacked up that there won't even be one house you can buy unless you can swing $400,000 over 30 years at 8% with an $8,600 property tax bill landing on you every single year, including if you ever pay the house off, it goes on forever.

08:35 IsambardPrince; I don't like interest.

08:35 IsambardPrince; It shouldn't exist.

08:35 IsambardPrince; If people made enough money, it wouldn't have to because they wouldn't need debt.

08:36 IsambardPrince; The idea that debt fuels the economy is fundamentally wrong.

08:36 IsambardPrince; Because people do not have unlimited debt-fueled spending power to supplement their wages.

08:36 IsambardPrince; So it only works for a few years.

08:50 IsambardPrince; Debt is a stupid thing. People spend money they don't have, fall over, file bankruptcy again.

08:50 IsambardPrince; Where does it go?

08:50 IsambardPrince; How is it fair to socialize the loss that way instead of just giving them some money?

18:15 ciphrCat; #techrights needs a door greeter bot

18:15 geert; haha

18:16 ciphrCat; someone just entered before you, said hi, got no reply, and bounced

18:16 geert; i think /topic provide some options w/o having to jump moar bots maybe?

18:17 geert; ciphrCat maybe consumerism on demand culture, well although latency might be generalized better with irc than with chatgpt bots, it dont necessarily mean that all other irc consumers are confined to ones on demand preferences

18:17 geert; i thnk some people getting troubled lately ciphrCat with very close minded urges and like e.g. on demand fast food culture habits also mentally

18:18 geert; not erry platform is like twitter or something

18:19 geert; seems to me it would be better to write a bit in /topic like 'this is IRC, consider patience as reactions might take e.g. half an hour, people get to commit to some other things too while hanging here'

18:19 geert; maybe topiclen should be modified to accomodate it

18:20 geert; but a bot would be a bit enthusiastic maybe

18:20 geert; to throw mental fast food fries at their heads virtually to keep em occupied not realizing that they getting hooked to patience without realizing it

18:20 geert; one might even appear as some govt corruption this manner

18:20 geert; :/

18:20 ciphrCat; not sure.. i adapted decades ago to dispense with greetings for the most part. In IRC I cut to the chase

18:21 geert; hmmm maybe id ask you tutor me a bit into better packed communication then since some ppl seem to get a bit headache about current habits overhere :/

18:25 ciphrCat; not sure if a door greeter bot has ever been done, but if someone enters and just says /hi/ without any substance, it would smooth things out if a channel butler bot would respond to say hello back, introduce themself as a bot, and then say the culture in the channel is to cut to the chase (not to say thats what techrights culture would be)

18:25 ciphrCat; just to fill the awkward silence that then leads to someone to say fuck this, and leave

18:27 *cash has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

18:27 geert; it wouldnt be so stupid at all. but then i think its better to get it dm/pm such visitor

18:27 geert; or maybe push some message to motd although many people dont look much at that

18:28 ciphrCat; i never got into the greetings with emails either

18:28 geert; much of such things kind of provide 'fake impressions', it dont need to necessarily although much of it kind of does..

18:29 ciphrCat; guess i'm a bit effeciency focused. I know it annoys some people to not get a greeting in email. Face to face, sure, you have to say 'how are you?' etc first

18:39 ciphrCat; i heard recently that someone was denied a mortgage loan because the bank noticed the applicant buys alcohol frequently

18:39 ciphrCat; has anyone heard of that?

18:39 ciphrCat; i'm trying to search for stories like that and find nothing

18:40 ciphrCat; his credit worthiness was good. It was just because he bought the alcohol using cards instead of cash that the bank knew

18:41 ciphrCat; since some bars in Europe are going cashless, it seems like a good idea to avoid such bars

18:47 ciphrCat; well, i /almost/ found an answer here: https://www.thetimes.com/article/homebuyers-face-questions-on-alcohol-and-smoking-under-new-mortgage-rules-vc0ljjvlqck

19:19 psydroid3; cipherCat, so far so good, 8/12 pages done, but I must say it's puzzling to deal with machine translation, as it gets so many things completely wrong. I hope to have things finished by tomorrow evening, but this is enough for me for today. Yesterday I couldn't do so much, because I was struggling with the heat.

19:20 ciphrCat; psydroid3: no problem. Thanks for the effort so far!

19:22 ciphrCat; i think the frenchenglish translation is fine, but the Dutch models used for input are less developed.

19:25 ciphrCat; I am looking into how your work can also be used to feedback into the en-nl translation model

19:29 psydroid3; I have used strikethrough for wrong words and phrases and red text for the correction, so it should be relatively straightforward for them to use your feedback, especially if a native Dutch speaker with good English is on their team.

19:31 *wallacer has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

19:32 psydroid3; En plus je parle franais et d'autres langues assez bien, donc c'est une exprience instructive pour moi aussi

19:32 ciphrCat; sounds good. It will be interesting to see how you did that with PDF. I probably should ahve given you the latex source

19:32 ciphrCat; ah, glad to know you can proof read my french too!

19:33 psydroid3; I think when I'm done I will make the ODT file available to you, after which you can update/generate your LaTeX file and then share it back with me, to see if anything still needs to be done or corrected.

19:34 psydroid3; that's hy I just wanted to finish this version, because I would only get distracted/confused by a work in progress

19:34 ciphrCat; sounds good

19:34 psydroid3; why*

19:38 ciphrCat; theres a useful latexdiff tool which takes two LaTeX versions as input, and outputs a LaTeX file with strikethroughs for removals and wavey blue underlines for added text.

19:39 ciphrCat; but i guess if the machine translation is quite bad it will essentially be whole paragraphs that get replaced

19:40 psydroid3; yes

19:41 psydroid3; I just did it like this for reference and to be able to feed individual corrections into machine learning tool's source

19:42 psydroid3; generally Google Translate and DeepL do a much better job, but those aren't privacy-friendly, so it would be better for an offline tool to reach the same level of translation abilities

19:43 ciphrCat; exactly. Thats why i only use argos translate in fact

19:43 ciphrCat; DeepL is cloudflared and well google is google

19:44 geert; 19:41 < ciphrCat> has anyone heard of that?

19:44 geert; ^^^ urge to more control via trying to enforce 'knowledge', kinda from perspective 'knowledge is power', some banks try to defend position abusing urge to control

19:45 *wallacer (~quassel@8k53v3b3bgq6i.irc) has joined #techrights

19:45 geert; it should be expected that people try give in to such misery after time passed after rediscovering such urge to be harmful

19:46 geert; since not giving in to that urge demands stuff like effort, and people yelling time is money etc. rather try minimize pushing effort without direct rewards/pay

19:47 ciphrCat; luckily the fix for consumers is easy: pay with cash

19:47 geert; meaning once reasons to drop on inappropriate urge to control are more of getting to background, since while passed, people often times try rediscover the misery leading to the drop on urge to control

19:47 geert; they think it might save them effort etc

19:47 geert; if cash hears it he prolly disagree being positioned as commodity

19:47 geert; ^^ j/k

19:47 geert; :D

19:48 geert; ciphrCat some people try get rid of cash currently as you most probably already got to notice

19:48 geert; it got to do with tryna facilitate their urge to control

19:48 geert; i think they not remember so much about former rediscovery of reasons to drop on malicious urge to control like that

19:48 ciphrCat; yeah, hence why i embrace cash more and more

19:48 geert; and they rather try rediscover in a disguised try to maybe escape on reasons since they rather lazy than effort it seem

19:49 geert; ciphrCat cash pay most often times much much more appropriate, knowledged and much much better in many aspects

19:49 geert; escape on former reasons* (to former rediscovery, which was already REdiscovery in itself)

20:35 Righty; Many businesses are realising how much of a mistake it is to go card only after seeing their whole accounts get drained.

20:38 Righty; Businesses generally only keep so much cash or premise, so any thief will get only a few thousand at most, as any larger amounts generally get moved elsewhere into the owners safe, where it's hard to steal. Meanwhile thief's from anywhere in the world can drain your bank account if they get past the joke security that banks implement.

20:59 geert; Some would want security to be miserable, not just with banks, to try provoke people to accept exchange privacy with 'more security' like more totalitarian surveillance
