IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Tuesday, January 24, 2023

beginning of new day, January 24

00:00 DaemonFC; FhG was not happy about LAME, I can tell you that much. Not happy at all. Even though it made MP3 hugely popular.

00:01 schestowitz[TR]; ok,a dding quotes

00:01 DaemonFC; They don't acknowledge it even once on their Web site, even their little "MP3 History" museum, which I don't even think mentions music piracy either.

00:01 DaemonFC; So that's kind of like "Wikipedia-izing the History of MP3". We'll just gloss over Napster and LAME.

00:01 DaemonFC; Wasn't important. Not gonna go how the format would have failed completely.

00:03 DaemonFC; We marketed it brilliantly and it was a hit out of the ballpark based on secret documents and patents, and ISO

00:03 DaemonFC; :)

00:04 DaemonFC; Secret documents, patents, and ISO are in the way of progress, constantly, and the secret documents and ISO can be cut out of the process a lot easier than reforming the patent system.

00:07 schestowitz[TR]; ok, here is a very crude draft:

00:07 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: ^

00:07 DaemonFC; "catch-al"

00:08 DaemonFC; "mind about it"

00:08 DaemonFC; mind it

00:09 schestowitz[TR]; corrected

00:09 schestowitz[TR]; i said it was cruse:)

00:09 schestowitz[TR]; *crude

00:09 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], My dad complained about the ISO in the 90s.

00:10 schestowitz[TR]; good

00:10 DaemonFC; He constantly made fun of all of their "standards" for management of a company that didn't mean anything but go on and on.

00:10 schestowitz[TR]; yeah

00:11 DaemonFC; It's a sort of code so that managers sound smarter than they are. "We're ISO-Whatever compliant with our handling of the TPS reports."

00:12 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], And the ISO standards can be wrong and never revised.

00:12 schestowitz[TR]; box tickers

00:12 DaemonFC; Microsoft implemented the standard for MP3 and so did LAME, and then the result was they were both correct and Windows XP crashed.

00:13 DaemonFC; Part of the standard about what constituted the maximum size for a frame could be calculated one of two ways.

00:13 DaemonFC; Microsoft chose the more constrained way and it resulted in a buffer overflow with some files that crashed Windows Media Player.

00:14 DaemonFC; LAME had chosen the method that resulted in a slightly larger permissible frame size.

00:14 DaemonFC; The outcome was LAME had to be changed to use the Microsoft calculation to avoid crashing Windows, and that meant a reduction in audio quality under some circumstances, with padded bytes instead of data.

00:15 DaemonFC; Later, they changed to use the VBR bit allocator, even in a CBR file, and it mostly avoids the situation by its method of action.

00:15 DaemonFC; It can cleverly use the bit reservoir in ways that the former bit allocator that was only for CBR files couldn't.

00:16 immibis; after realizing how much work ISO does and how useful that works is, how long it takes to earn $300 if you don't live in communist USA, and how infreqently you need these standards, I got less pissed off about standards not being free. Still can't say I've ever bought one.

00:16 DaemonFC; Naturally, they never delete anything, so you can still demand the old model.

00:16 DaemonFC; It's just an absolute nightmare of options switches.

00:16 DaemonFC; It's the worst thing I've ever seen in a utility its size.

00:16 immibis; also, how little this money is to even the smallest of actual companies

00:18 immibis; I've read some IEEE 802.3 standards (which are free) and they contain excruciating detail

00:19 DaemonFC; "OOXMl"

00:19 DaemonFC; L

00:19 immibis; well, you do not read through an entire standard as such, unless you are implementing the technology from scratch; you search for the section you are interested in

00:22 immibis; bullshit jobs are inevitable in capitalism

00:22 schestowitz[TR]; because they don't want to pay

00:22 schestowitz[TR]; unless you do.. something

00:22 DaemonFC; ISO is kind of the stuff of Pointy Haired Bosses when it comes to Management Theory being standardized.

00:24 schestowitz[TR]; i will do another ISO post../

00:25 immibis; also you have to get paid or they kill you.

00:25 immibis; they = the system

00:25 schestowitz[TR]; work or die

00:25 schestowitz[TR]; or

00:25 schestowitz[TR]; work till you die

00:26 schestowitz[TR]; the pension? each year it'll ru away

00:26 schestowitz[TR]; 65

00:26 schestowitz[TR]; 67

00:26 schestowitz[TR]; 69...

00:26 schestowitz[TR]; early pension.. 55

00:26 schestowitz[TR]; soon 58

00:26 schestowitz[TR]; what next?

00:26 schestowitz[TR]; 65?

00:26 schestowitz[TR]; hen will 65 be "early pension"?

00:26 schestowitz[TR]; while they give experimental treatments for pfizer

00:26 schestowitz[TR]; so you are less likely to even get to 65

00:27 DaemonFC; 65 is early Social Security in the US.

00:28 schestowitz[TR]; GOP wants to crush it

00:28 DaemonFC; So you have to take the penalty AND stop working or they'll make you pay it back.

00:28 schestowitz[TR]; don't abort fetus but kill people who are old

00:28 DaemonFC; Yeah, that's going to work swell.

00:28 DaemonFC; No old people who need care or go buy things, less jobs, more young people.

00:28 schestowitz[TR]; preams

00:28 schestowitz[TR]; diapers

00:28 schestowitz[TR]; baby forula

00:29 schestowitz[TR]; "move over, gradma"

00:29 schestowitz[TR]; "stay spending"

00:29 DaemonFC; Bull-fucking-shit.

00:29 schestowitz[TR]; "START LIVINHG"

00:29 DaemonFC; That's my answer to that one.

00:29 immibis; Pensions will be cut, not because they're impossible to sustain, but because they're impossible to sustain while taxing the rich more than 0.1%

00:29 schestowitz[TR]; less

00:30 schestowitz[TR]; "go back to work gradnma"

00:30 schestowitz[TR]; "stop working, granma"

00:30 schestowitz[TR]; "die already"

00:30 schestowitz[TR]; "here, have a massive hospital bill"

00:30 immibis; what, france can't afford to pay an average of 25 years of pension instead of 23? boo fucking hoo, increase the rich tax rate by like 3% and now they can

00:30 schestowitz[TR]; "now drop dead"

00:30 schestowitz[TR]; "or force your kids into heavy debt"

00:30 immibis; might also help to spend that money on actual investments to make things cheaper instead of donations to the same rich they won't tax

00:34 immibis; Culture wars are waged by the rich to protect their money

00:34 immibis; when the proletariat gets too uppity, the bourgeoisie starts aiming the idiots at the other idiots with idiotic nonsense like this. I am officially a communist because I can spell bourgeoisie without looking it up.

00:37 immibis; you know the meme, where the rich guy has 99 cookies on his plate, the hard worker has 1 cookie, the black person has no cookies, and the rich person tells the worker "careful now, that guy wants your cookie"?

00:37 immibis; it's literally that

00:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Mandy has forgotten how to do anything without his phone.

00:43 schestowitz[TR]; lol

00:43 schestowitz[TR]; good survival skill right there

00:43 DaemonFC; The timer on the oven doesn't work and he laughed because I couldn't set a timer with my watch.

00:44 DaemonFC; So I turned the dial and said "Now I have a timer. When the minute hand gets to 11, the food's done. No computer.".

00:44 DaemonFC; The dial spins around because it's a dive watch.

00:44 DaemonFC; Just turn the pointer to where the minute hand is. That's literally what the dial does.

00:45 DaemonFC; It's unbelievable how such a simple thing confuses people with iPhones.

02:24 schestowitz[TR]; in just 20 secs

02:24 schestowitz[TR]; ISO is a barrier

02:25 schestowitz[TR]; big companies rig contracts and bids in tendering processses

02:25 schestowitz[TR]; to them,, the iso tax is slush funds

02:27 DaemonFC; Someone gave me some MP3 files that were from an obscure CD that you can't find anymore a while back.

02:27 DaemonFC; Some program that went to tag them had put non-MP3 data in the middle of the file outside of the MP3 frames.

02:28 schestowitz[TR]; procurement: must pay this must to ISO

02:28 schestowitz[TR]; or eles, entry denied

02:28 DaemonFC; There's no standard for tagging an MP3 file with the ISO, so they're all de facto standards, like the VBR Header formats are (there's two of those, btw).

02:28 schestowitz[TR]; *much

02:28 DaemonFC; But in no case should a tag be in the middle of the file.

02:29 DaemonFC; Depending on the tag format, it can be appended to the front or the end of the file.

02:29 DaemonFC; Oh, and there's several versions of id3, and you can also use APE and APEv2 if the software understands it, because of course you can, except most software and hardware doesn't know APE tags.

02:29 DaemonFC; So of course you can't.

02:30 DaemonFC; And you can append several kinds of tags to the file with different information in them.

02:45 TR News; Sirius Open Source has long used ISO and sometimes GDPR as catch-all excuses for all sorts of nonsensical policies; does ISO realise the degree to which it is being misused by incompetent 'box tickers'? http://techrights.org/2023/01/23/sirius-box-tickers/

03:38 DaemonFC; When Illinois deposits your tax return into the bank over ACH, the line is "STATE OF ILL".

03:38 DaemonFC; Aside from tax refunds, I got $100 from State of ILL right before the election, and then Pritzker grabassed me and took it back with a double gas tax..

03:52 schestowitz[TR]; does it say IL?

04:25 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: started using my palm pda as countdom/stopwatch

04:25 schestowitz[TR]; helps with kitchen

04:26 schestowitz[TR]; battery life is not the same as 20 years ago

04:26 schestowitz[TR]; but good enough

04:30 schestowitz[TR]; media: smartphones are when phones were AXXXPLE.... got touchscreens and all

04:30 schestowitz[TR]; wait, we had those in the 90s too!

04:42 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The dive watch is super easy to use as a timer.

04:43 DaemonFC; Low tech.

04:46 schestowitz[TR]; low batts

04:46 schestowitz[TR]; low complexity

04:46 schestowitz[TR]; low repair cost

04:47 schestowitz[TR]; preparing the article for tromorrow

04:47 schestowitz[TR]; another blunder

04:47 schestowitz[TR]; letter-ripping after explaining and showing chain was considered

04:47 schestowitz[TR]; but changed out mind

04:47 schestowitz[TR]; want to keep these letters as souvenirs

04:48 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: to me, the mass layoffs are good news

04:48 schestowitz[TR]; I don't compete against these flunkies

04:48 schestowitz[TR]; they wqill lose their home

04:48 schestowitz[TR]; here is their economics

04:48 schestowitz[TR]; it goes something like this

04:48 schestowitz[TR]; person starts as new in $MonopolyTechCompany

04:48 schestowitz[TR]; starting salary 67,000 pounds

04:48 schestowitz[TR]; UK, not US

04:48 schestowitz[TR]; a lot less in other countries

04:49 schestowitz[TR]; wife, kids, car

04:49 schestowitz[TR]; maybe what's left is 20,000 a year

04:49 schestowitz[TR]; if lucky

04:49 schestowitz[TR]; and they don't buy a home for 100,000

04:49 schestowitz[TR]; their colleagues would mock them

04:49 schestowitz[TR]; so take a mortgage, 500,000-1,000,000

04:49 DaemonFC; When do you think they'll get Matt GULAG?

04:49 schestowitz[TR]; for the next 20 years, with kids, you assume you pay the bank 100k every 5 yrars

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; assuming the economy does not collapge for the next 20-30 years

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; AND

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; that your company/employer does not collapse

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; of course things never pan outr this way

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; loss of job

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; depression

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; divorce

04:50 DaemonFC; Matt GULAG's plan to ultimately work at Microsoft has petered out.

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; and those are typically connected

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; so that's the life of those "tech" slaves who work 70 hours a week

04:50 DaemonFC; All he can do is keep cashing those VC furnace checks until they stop.

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; to meet expectations

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; and now be included in the next round of vulture" layoffs

04:51 DaemonFC; By the time GULAG loses his position there, the "tech" companies will have laid off about 200,000.

04:51 schestowitz[TR]; competition

04:51 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The hedge fund that told Google to "get their headcount under control" says that Google needs to fire another 88,000.

04:51 schestowitz[TR]; and big mortgage to pay

04:51 DaemonFC; That's just Google!

04:51 schestowitz[TR]; yeah

04:51 schestowitz[TR]; get the "HEY HI toi work

04:52 schestowitz[TR]; "HEY HI" as in... cron jobs

04:53 schestowitz[TR]; regarding the letter-ripping after explaining and showing chain ... VIDEO? ... not sure... we're still not sure... needs planning as you can only rip them once (rianne to bring trash can instead?)

04:53 schestowitz[TR]; she still thinks gulagtroll is reponsible for her leaving

04:53 schestowitz[TR]; because of doxxing

04:53 schestowitz[TR]; she didn't want to bother

04:53 schestowitz[TR]; the stabber is a nasty piece of work

04:53 schestowitz[TR]; don't underestimate sociopaths

04:54 schestowitz[TR]; we also though about showing a colleague's email or letters after video on grievance

04:54 schestowitz[TR]; but that would not be fair to the colleague

04:54 schestowitz[TR]; better to ask first

04:54 schestowitz[TR]; seems the company opened a manhole to hell

04:54 schestowitz[TR]; and they miscalculated the whole thing

04:55 schestowitz[TR]; I think we now have 10 long parts left

04:55 schestowitz[TR]; maybe more

04:55 schestowitz[TR]; at least 100

04:55 schestowitz[TR]; *10

04:56 schestowitz[TR]; February 4th

04:56 schestowitz[TR]; tomorrow:

04:56 schestowitz[TR]; The ISO Delusion: Sirius Open Wash Ltd. and Medical Data/Projects at Risk/Peril

04:57 *schestowitz[TR] back to the draft

04:58 DaemonFC; You want to talk Lord of the Flies.....

04:58 schestowitz[TR]; from conversation with siblings and cousins, the worst part of working for those large companies is that you give the majority of your life to them and then at the end they collapse or lock you out from your own work

04:58 schestowitz[TR]; your messages

04:58 schestowitz[TR]; your code

04:58 DaemonFC; Look at how Microsoft employees that survived this layoff mock the ones that didn't.

04:58 schestowitz[TR]; your colleagues

04:58 schestowitz[TR]; they ask you not to talk to colleagues

04:58 schestowitz[TR]; so you wasted your life

04:58 schestowitz[TR]; making other people rich

04:59 schestowitz[TR]; and then you realise your high-paying job lasted just years

04:59 DaemonFC; There will be more layoffs. The only thing they get for surviving this one is that they might make it several more months before worrying about it again.

04:59 DaemonFC; Then there will be someone there laughing at them.

04:59 schestowitz[TR]; and thus your $1,000,000 mortgage can never be paid

04:59 DaemonFC; Very toxic.

04:59 schestowitz[TR]; they blame "the economy"

04:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0

04:59 schestowitz[TR]; "ukraine"

04:59 schestowitz[TR]; "covid019

04:59 schestowitz[TR]; "

04:59 DaemonFC; The idea with these companies is that nobody working there should ever feel comfortable or like they have any sort of job security.

5 AM, January 24

05:00 DaemonFC; Keep them scared and they'll work hard, and you can still fire them when you want to.

05:00 schestowitz[TR]; in the 1960s you worked for same company 30 years

05:00 schestowitz[TR]; like IBM

05:00 schestowitz[TR]; wife did not need to work

05:00 schestowitz[TR]; one salary covered home, 3 family members

05:00 schestowitz[TR]; with money letft over

05:00 schestowitz[TR]; felta, your dad, was 80s and 90s

05:00 schestowitz[TR]; that sort of changed around then

05:00 schestowitz[TR]; with the waltons and offshoring

05:00 schestowitz[TR]; so 30-year careers were becoming rare

05:01 schestowitz[TR]; you become "too old" and "too expensive"

05:01 schestowitz[TR]; so they get rid of you fastere

05:01 schestowitz[TR]; (they= the MBAs)

05:01 schestowitz[TR]; <DaemonFC> Keep them scared and they'll work hard, and you can still fire them when you want to.

05:01 schestowitz[TR]; my siublings are all programmers

05:01 schestowitz[TR]; two of them work like 70 hours per week

05:01 schestowitz[TR]; maybe more sometimes

05:02 schestowitz[TR]; I keep reminding them one day they won't work there

05:02 schestowitz[TR]; they need to find hobbies

05:03 schestowitz[TR]; not limited to corproations btw

05:03 schestowitz[TR]; look at daniel pocock

05:03 schestowitz[TR]; gave 20+ years to debian et al

05:03 schestowitz[TR]; free software orgs

05:03 schestowitz[TR]; and watch what they did to him at the end

05:03 schestowitz[TR]; to a volunteer

05:03 schestowitz[TR]; he did not focus on his own projects enough

05:03 schestowitz[TR]; and then a bunch of crazies and goons ran after him

05:03 schestowitz[TR]; to feel "empowered"

05:03 schestowitz[TR]; "can't code, but have no hair"

05:06 DaemonFC; From code names in their gaming division that referenced the atomic bombing of Japan, the Oklahoma City Bombing, Agent Orange, and Jim Jones poisoning his followers, to a software developer working on the Windows Registry finding out that another worker was deathly allergic to bees and terrified of them, so naming all the Registry concepts after bees and hives.

05:12 mjg59_; DaemonFC: Where was I talking up ChatGPT?

05:12 DaemonFC; Where you were using it to try to solve your problem of the uEFI specification being horrible and bloated and parts undocumented.

05:12 DaemonFC; Very "open", you know.

05:13 schestowitz[TR]; ChatGPT?=microsoft plagiarism

05:14 DaemonFC; I'm disturbed that they thought it was fine to codename DirectX releases out of horrific war crimes, cult suicides, mustard gas, Agent Orange, and the bombing of the Murrah building.

05:14 DaemonFC; Extremely professional.

05:14 DaemonFC; Then mjg59_ was perturbed by some titty references.

05:15 mjg59_; DaemonFC: Yeah I pointed out that it lied to me about what the spec said

05:15 mjg59_; DaemonFC: How is that "talking it up"?

05:15 DaemonFC; Agent Orange wasn't JUST a Vietnam War Crime, it was one that the United States Government unleashed on its own troops, poisoning tens of thousands of them as well.

05:15 DaemonFC; And then RoundUp (the weed killer you use in your lawn) causes cancer because it's not much better.

05:16 schestowitz[TR]; pesticides and explosives are made quite similarly

05:16 DaemonFC; I've had not one but two landlords spraying RoundUp near my windows because they're too fucking lazy to just use a weed whacker.

05:16 schestowitz[TR]; like nuclear weapons vs energy

05:17 DaemonFC; <mjg59_> DaemonFC: Yeah I pointed out that it lied to me about what the spec said

05:17 DaemonFC; For it to lie, it would have to have some conscious awareness of what it was doing.

05:18 DaemonFC; It's a plagiarism tool that got defective information somewhere and then relayed it to you without revealing why it printed it to your screen.

05:18 DaemonFC; :)

05:18 mjg59_; Ok, read that as "It gave me incorrect data"

05:18 mjg59_; How is that me talking it up?

05:19 DaemonFC; I'd say giving it any ink is talking it up.

05:19 DaemonFC; Because then people will see the ChatGPT propaganda out there and think it's terrific.

05:19 DaemonFC; Because you're overwhelmed.

05:19 DaemonFC; Overwhelmed with paid spam, and Microsoft will only make this worse if they acquire it.

05:19 mjg59_; You're talking about it right now

05:19 mjg59_; Are you talking it up?

05:23 DaemonFC; Wikipedia is more than just problematic, but I'm glad that it ran Microsoft Encarta under.

05:24 DaemonFC; It would be so much worse if we all had to go to Microsoft Encarta, pay for a subscription, and everything was paywalled and if you were broke you just don't get to read anything.

05:24 DaemonFC; But that's what Microsoft brings to things. Negative Value.

05:24 DaemonFC; Locking out the disadvantaged from computing.

05:24 DaemonFC; Sometimes to the point hey have trouble just getting by.

05:24 DaemonFC; Banking, paying bills, putting in job applications.

05:25 DaemonFC; Let's be glad their online encyclopedia was one of their major failures.

05:26 DaemonFC; At one point, I had Encarta because of course I did.

05:26 DaemonFC; Nobody was putting encyclopedias online yet.

05:26 DaemonFC; I bought a computer, and they threw in Encarta 98 with it.

05:27 DaemonFC; Microsoft's idea was that every year you'd have to pay to update or the information would go stale and you'd be lacking articles on new subjects, just like a World Book collection. Door to door encyclopedia salespeople would go around selling these blasted things.

05:27 DaemonFC; And then you needed to buy "Update books" that would correct and revise and add new articles to the set you had.

05:28 DaemonFC; The whole thing was just so unwieldy and it was a never-ending expense.

05:28 DaemonFC; Someone convinced my grandparents to buy a set.

05:28 DaemonFC; They still had it in one of the bedrooms in the mid 90s, and it was the 1958 World Book set.

05:28 DaemonFC; Very useful you know. How much could possibly have changed between 1958 and 1996 anyway?

05:30 DaemonFC; So like most proprietary and DRM software companies, Microsoft wanted to take something that was a pain in the ass in the physical world and turn it into the same pain in the ass, only on a computer, even though it didn't have to be like that. :)

21:17 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Good news.

21:18 DaemonFC; USCIS says Mandy's green card is extended for 4 years instead of 2, and we will receive an updated notice.

21:18 DaemonFC; They can pretty much do whatever they want, you know.

21:18 DaemonFC; They used to only extend it by 12 months while they got around to you, then 18, then 24 (our letter says 24), now 48.

21:19 DaemonFC; It's not a permanent decision, but they can't take any negative action against you as long as your expired card has been extended. So we have twice as long as I previously thought before they could do anything.

21:19 DaemonFC; Whenever they get around to us, they have to base the decision on the rules in place at the time you filed the form.

21:19 DaemonFC; So the rules are frozen where Biden left them, for us, regardless of what happens then.

21:20 DaemonFC; It's always better to file things sooner than later.

21:21 DaemonFC; The rush to file I-485s ahead of Trump's "public charge rule" reminded me a lot of the rush to file bankruptcies ahead of BAPCPA.

21:21 DaemonFC; People were filing bankruptcy petitions where they knew they had errors with the schedules, even.

21:22 DaemonFC; Because during the 341 meeting, the Trustee will ask you if anything is different than what's on the forms. It's not ideal to correct things at the trustee meeting, but there were millions of people where if they didn't file the petition as they had it, there'd be no bankruptcy, at all.

21:22 DaemonFC; As long as you correct everything so that it's true and complete at the Trustee meeting, the government can't say you were trying to do something wrong.

22:13 DaemonFC; It's actually been falling for years.

22:14 DaemonFC; I don't know how much of this is a decrease in actual crime vs. the government not working cases, not solving cases, and giving up realizing that no matter what they do to punish people, they'll probably be right back anyway.

22:14 DaemonFC; The more times you're in court, the worse things get. There's very clearly a "You're trying their patience with you." tax, which starts resulting in the extreme end of the possible punishment spectrum.

22:15 DaemonFC; But even then, if they just don't care, or the law limits them, you end up with my upstairs neighbor.

22:15 DaemonFC; He gets a notice to appear and tosses it because they're way too busy to just drive down half a mile from the jail and pick him up, where he is at.
