00:01 psydruid; I have a laptop with a low-end Celeron and 8 GB of RAM which I bought for 75

00:18 schestowitz[TR2]; because i literally saw that 40 secs ago

00:18 schestowitz[TR2]; so it's like you watch over my shoulder :-)

00:18 schestowitz[TR2]; darwin: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GUn6ZqYWgAAMkXp?format=jpg&name=large

00:18 schestowitz[TR2]; i was watching this

00:19 darwin; i thought this is why Americans killed Britons trying to force such things on them in 1776?

00:19 darwin; maybe it'll happen again

00:19 schestowitz[TR2]; but how?

00:20 schestowitz[TR2]; us controls uk

00:20 schestowitz[TR2]; not opposite

00:20 schestowitz[TR2]; the roles are reversed now

00:20 IsambardPrince; Fuck them.

00:20 IsambardPrince; UK laws don't apply in the US.

00:21 schestowitz[TR2]; but Fox

00:21 IsambardPrince; Anyway, they can't extradite. There has to be the same crime on the books in the US.

00:21 schestowitz[TR2]; Fox has its own agenda

00:21 schestowitz[TR2]; murdoch agenda

00:21 darwin; it may not have been literal

00:21 IsambardPrince; Nobody is going to extradite an American for something that's not illegal here.

00:22 darwin; but several people posted the video of UK police. They said something like it like doesn't matter what country people are saying mean, they're coming for those 'offenders'

00:23 schestowitz[TR2]; let me inteject

00:23 schestowitz[TR2]; as I have a ot of direct experiment with this

00:23 schestowitz[TR2]; but, in practice

00:23 schestowitz[TR2]; they woule recommend you phone abroad

00:24 schestowitz[TR2]; so in the case of the riors

00:24 schestowitz[TR2]; they would contact or seek contact with US police

00:24 schestowitz[TR2]; and try to convince THEM to taker action

00:24 schestowitz[TR2]; but british police does not have direct authority there

00:24 darwin; and USA police would say "That's freedom of speech. That's why we have independence from you"

00:24 schestowitz[TR2]; so whatever some officer said on video, maybe he has a serious misconception

00:26 IsambardPrince; The UK police don't have any authority in the United States.

00:26 IsambardPrince; They can ask our government to do something but they can't actually do anything else.

00:26 schestowitz[TR2]; right

00:27 schestowitz[TR2]; so maybe some uk officer say baloney

00:27 schestowitz[TR2]; and murdoch media uses that now

00:27 schestowitz[TR2]; it's trying to shoehorn trump and vance now

00:27 schestowitz[TR2]; so that monsster rupe can tell t hem what to do

00:27 IsambardPrince; US states have limited jurisdiction over people who live in other states.

00:28 IsambardPrince; If a crime crosses state lines they can ask for extradition.

00:28 IsambardPrince; But they can only get that if it's a felony or the other state decides to had you over.

00:28 IsambardPrince; Felony makes it automatic that the other state has to hand you over.

00:28 IsambardPrince; In misdemeanor cases, the other state could refuse.

00:29 IsambardPrince; But in any case, the requesting state has to pay for the extradition.

00:29 IsambardPrince; Indiana is a good place to hide from other states.

00:29 darwin; fills a whole large intersection

00:29 IsambardPrince; They have to pay almost $30,000 to ask for you.

00:29 IsambardPrince; And thenthey still have to pay to come get you.

00:30 IsambardPrince; If you murdered or raped someone this won't work.

00:30 IsambardPrince; But for something petty, they won't cough up $30,000 and a plane ticket and some cops to come escort you back.

00:31 IsambardPrince; This doesn't expire, but if you can wait them out for years then things happen.

00:31 IsambardPrince; You know, like if it's a DUI from 1992 they'd arrest you and then drop it.

00:37 IsambardPrince; They want to merge more of the two together to ease the burden of maintaining both systems.

00:37 schestowitz[TR2]; i read that

00:37 schestowitz[TR2]; ages ago

00:38 schestowitz[TR2]; there is no "android linux kernel" though

00:38 schestowitz[TR2]; it is a patchset

00:38 schestowitz[TR2]; don't ask me how they do it

00:38 schestowitz[TR2]; lxo would know

00:38 IsambardPrince; Yeah, most of the patches end up upstreamed anyway.

00:38 IsambardPrince; Maybe they want to reduce the lag time.

Given the completely different scheduler architecture of MuQSS versus CFS mea

01:20 IsambardPrince; Up there killing each other and softening up Canada for a third invasion from the US.

01:20 IsambardPrince; If you ask me I think we could have gotten Ontario and carved it up into a free state.

01:22 IsambardPrince; Deport all the undesirables over to Quebec and let them live among the Francophones.

01:22 IsambardPrince; Canada is basically a Chinese proxy at this point.

01:23 IsambardPrince; They let so many rich Chinese move in that their own people can't afford to live anywhere now.

01:23 IsambardPrince; So it's tents for the Canadians.

01:25 IsambardPrince; They also made another choice.

01:26 lightbringer; usians also made a choice in 2016

03:05 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], The big grocery chains are trying to make it impossible to budget for your groceries.

03:06 IsambardPrince; Conceivably, the shelf price could change while it's in your cart and before you get to the register.

03:11 IsambardPrince; Kroger has a long history of charging more and portraying it as a cost savings initially, like when they started demanding roughly 25 years ago that we all use store loyalty cards. For about 3-5 months the loyalty card got you all these ridiculously low prices, then they started creeping back upwards and eventually became "This gallon of milk is $7.99 but if you use the store card it's $2.99, and you saved $5." Well, everyone had

03:11 IsambardPrince; milk around the $2.99 price with no loyalty cards. Maybe Aldi would be $2.49 with no card, and right across the street.

03:15 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2],

03:15 IsambardPrince; I posted:

03:15 IsambardPrince; https://www.rawstory.com/kroger-pricing-strategy/

03:15 TR Bot; Kroger's new dynamic AI pricing scheme is 'corporate greed is out of control': critics - Raw Story

03:15 IsambardPrince;

03:15 IsambardPrince; Kroger and Microsoft team up to create "variable pricing" on groceries.

03:15 IsambardPrince;

03:15 IsambardPrince; Earlier in the metacrisis, the CEO of Kroger admitted they were increasing prices faster than the actual rate of inflation. Now the company has partnered with Microsoft on electronic shelf labels that change prices throughout the store immediately and without warning whenever they feel like doing it so nobody will even know about what they can expect to pay when they get in there. From everything I've heard it's been examples (when

03:15 IsambardPrince; Walmart was talking about it) of how they can use this to basically extract more money from customers, like if it's a hot day out they'd charge significantly more for ice cream and bottled water.

03:15 IsambardPrince;

03:15 IsambardPrince; Making it impossible to know what anything will cost means that it will be impossible to budget for food based on "roughly what it cost me last week". Conceivably, the shelf price could change while it's in your cart and before you get to the register.

03:15 IsambardPrince;

03:15 IsambardPrince; A little bit of inflation is always good in our business, said Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen."

03:15 IsambardPrince;

03:15 IsambardPrince; The march to a cashless society continues bearing the intended fruit.

03:15 IsambardPrince;

03:15 IsambardPrince; Walmart's website has a warning that the price you pay may be different than the price in the store, and so does Aldi, but Aldi does that because they do grocery pickup with Instacart and Aldi has never tried to hide costs inside the grocery prices using gimmicks when they can avoid it.

03:16 IsambardPrince;

03:16 IsambardPrince; I feel I may be taking even more of our shopping to Aldi as the shelf label tells me how much I would pay and it's the same price anyone else pays.

03:16 IsambardPrince;

03:16 IsambardPrince; I wish Kroger will have as much luck using Microsoft stuff as Delta Airlines had. Whereby they lost over $500 million of business due to the Crowdstrike debacle.

03:16 IsambardPrince;

03:16 IsambardPrince; Kroger has a long history of charging more and portraying it as a cost savings initially, like when they started demanding roughly 25 years ago that we all use store loyalty cards.

03:16 IsambardPrince; milk around the $2.99 price with no loyalty cards. Maybe Aldi would be $2.49 with no card, and right across the street.

03:16 IsambardPrince;

03:16 IsambardPrince; In this phase of the metacrisis, after having rents double in only four or five years, nobody will know what they're paying for food, which makes increasing the overall price easy for the retailers to get away with.

03:16 IsambardPrince;

03:16 IsambardPrince; Many people get up to the register where using a credit card means there's no discernable difference between paying $300 for a cart of food or $200. They've already gone wild with this as credit card user will easily spend 12-15% more without realizing it to try to chase down a couple airline miles.

05:14 schestowitz[TR2]; but "protected minority"

05:15 schestowitz[TR2]; i think the word "minority" no longer means anything from a mathematical POV

05:15 darwin; are there really more Muslims than Christians now? I didn't see any recent demographics that said that... thought the numbers were still around 1.2 billion (Islam) and two billion (Christianity)?

05:15 schestowitz[TR2]; no

05:15 schestowitz[TR2]; outdated

05:15 darwin; what site/article has the new demographics?

05:15 schestowitz[TR2]; 1.9 billion

05:18 schestowitz[TR2]; in the party nobody invited me to

05:20 schestowitz[TR2]; youtube censored many atheist channels

05:20 schestowitz[TR2]; the censorship grew over time

05:20 schestowitz[TR2]; you could not ridicule theists saying truly ridiculous things

05:20 schestowitz[TR2]; if that hurt their feelings

05:21 schestowitz[TR2]; they used terms like "communityt standards"

05:21 schestowitz[TR2]; which is... vague

05:35 IsambardPrince; Developer Mode.

05:36 IsambardPrince; They sell basically the same laptop with Windows for $100 more.

05:36 IsambardPrince; LOL

05:36 IsambardPrince; Windows and UEFI.

05:37 IsambardPrince; SeaBIOS is one of the options for loading Linux on this model.

05:37 IsambardPrince; It's there, but obviously not supported officially.

05:37 IsambardPrince; My guess is that whatever it does it'll be better than UEFI.

05:38 IsambardPrince; Microsoft doesn't know much, but it does know how to fuck things up;

05:39 IsambardPrince; Apple is still selling M1 Macbooks on Walmart for $650.

05:39 IsambardPrince; I wonder how people will feel about this when they don't get updates soon on a laptop they JUST paid for.

05:39 IsambardPrince; :)

05:40 IsambardPrince; HP told me the EOL date for this model is June 2032.

05:40 IsambardPrince; That's about 8 years from now. I'd be surprised if the thing is still in decent shape by then.

05:41 IsambardPrince; I use the things heavily and Lenovo laptops at least don't seem to hold up that long.

05:43 IsambardPrince; Software "degradation" they say.

05:43 IsambardPrince; Microsoft said these megapatches would lead to higher update quality due to the fact that people couldn't cherry pick hotfixes and run incalculable variations of the OS.

05:43 IsambardPrince; But that hasn't turned out to be true.

05:44 schestowitz[TR2]; nope

05:44 schestowitz[TR2]; kde neon

05:45 schestowitz[TR2]; also, windows is not really modular

05:45 schestowitz[TR2]; not really

05:47 IsambardPrince; The hotfixes would revision just one component.

05:47 IsambardPrince; But they were not tested much.

05:47 IsambardPrince; Generally you'd tell people wait for the service pack unless you're having that exact problem.

05:48 IsambardPrince; NEON is meant to push out all updates at once.

05:48 IsambardPrince; Doesn't always work out well.

05:50 IsambardPrince; I've ended up with parts of two different versions of KDE because of this.

05:50 IsambardPrince; And it caused all sorts of weird things to happen until more updates came in.

05:51 darwin; KDE 6 Neon wouldn't even run right or sometimes not even boot on 2/3 our PCs

05:52 darwin; that's why I had us switch to Devuan, but maybe later Xubuntu also for mining

05:52 IsambardPrince; I should really try a Devuan container in Crostini.

21:38 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], I laughed when they landed in the helicopter and accused the people of saying Chernobyl's reactor exploded of "spreading dangerous disinformation".

21:39 IsambardPrince; The Soviet Method is how the left and the federal government and GAFAM handled the fact that COVID vaccines were dangerous and did not prevent COVID or make it less threatening.

21:39 IsambardPrince; They're so safe and effective that the FDA says you can read all about it in 72 years when they release the "safety data" that they based their decisions on.

21:40 IsambardPrince; When anyone who could have suffered harm is dead and there's nobody to compensate.

22:32 IsambardPrince; "The July jobs report showed US employers substantially scaled back hiring and the unemployment rate rose for a fourth month, triggering a key recession indicator and contributing to a global stock market selloff."

22:33 IsambardPrince; Apparently Walmart had a meeting today where they accused some people of not working enough and said they were not there to 'micromanage' employees.

22:33 IsambardPrince; They have not raised wages in two years despite the fact that rent is up 20% and other major expenses have increased.

22:34 IsambardPrince; I guess the plandemic is over and the old nasty Walmart is back.

22:34 IsambardPrince; "I'm hungry and my teeth hurt and my landlord is threatening me!" Walmart: "Welfare office is that way. Work harder!"
