05:21 TR Bot; Blog Archive Reject Decades of Russophobic Propaganda
05:22 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Stallman put it a way I agree with, actually.
05:23 DaemonFC; He calls them "Putin's forces".
05:23 DaemonFC; It's legitimate to help them kill people who are there fighting for Putin.
05:23 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: h264 is used a lot in mp4 iirc
05:23 DaemonFC; But most Russians don't seem to actually like Putin. If anything, they want out of there and can't get out.
05:23 DaemonFC; And if they say anything they'll be shot or arrested.
05:24 schestowitz-TR2; yes, narcissist putin
05:24 schestowitz-TR2; starving his own people
05:24 schestowitz-TR2; and sending them to die
05:24 DaemonFC; So even the appearance of lack of criticism isn't a gauge to judge them by because it's not a free or normal country where you can say "Fuck Biden" or something and nothing happens.
05:24 schestowitz-TR2; if they had proper elections, he'd be out
05:24 schestowitz-TR2; or forced to behave better, in order to get re-elected
05:25 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: we have several Ukrainians and Russians here
05:25 schestowitz-TR2; and USians
05:25 schestowitz-TR2; who don't like Trump or even Biden
05:25 DaemonFC; Navalny tried to run against Putin, and not only was he cheated, he was poisoned, and then thrown in prison.
05:25 schestowitz-TR2; I dislike Borisnaro strongly
05:25 DaemonFC; It's likely that Navalny won and Putin rigged the election and released fake numbers and simply stayed.
05:25 DaemonFC; What Trump wishes he could have done.
05:26 schestowitz-TR2; never mind if the media was unfair
05:26 schestowitz-TR2; and state-controlled
05:26 schestowitz-TR2; Trump tried to forcibly take over more media
05:26 schestowitz-TR2; like VoA
05:26 schestowitz-TR2; I think it was spared at the end
05:28 DaemonFC; Yeah, it was.
05:29 DaemonFC; He tried to appoint hundreds of people all over government on his last few days, but Biden fired them all.
05:29 DaemonFC; The few he couldn't fired got moved to positions where they'll never see anything that could damage Biden or allow them to leak things to Trump and where they'll probably just give up and resign.
05:29 TR News; Total size of Gemini capsule of Techrights is now 1.6GB. Due to page crawling limits (max 10,000), Lupa knows of no Gemini capsule with over 1GB in "content" gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/software/lupa/stats.gmi
=> ↺ gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/software/lupa/stats.gmi
05:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, We came inches away from a corrupt and illegal Census count too.
05:30 DaemonFC; The career civil servants that Trump couldn't fire kept coming up with excuses not to hand over the final reports until he was gone and Biden reversed the executive order to not count immigrants.
05:31 schestowitz-TR2; like orange's wife
05:31 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, So in our system, there's always 535 members of the House and Senate, and the electoral votes are that plus 3 for DC even though it has no representation.
05:32 DaemonFC; Trump figured if he didn't include immigrants in the Census, it would hurt blue states more than red states, and the balance of power in the House and in the electoral vote count would shift to red states.
05:32 DaemonFC; Allowing them to pick up, oh, maybe 15-20 House seats and electoral votes that they shouldn't have.
05:33 DaemonFC; So it was a pretty naked power grab to get Republicans more power in the federal government and make it nearly impossible for Democrats to win the House of Representatives or the Presidency.
05:33 DaemonFC; Their other longstanding goal is to repeal the 17th amendment and kick US Senate elections to state legislatures.
05:34 DaemonFC; If that happened, Republicans could appoint 54-55 Senators and they'd never lose control of the Senate.
05:34 DaemonFC; But that will be harder, because you have to get 38 states to ratify it as well as 3/5ths of each chamber of Congress to send it to the states.
05:35 DaemonFC; They'd be able to do considerable damage just by rigging the Census.
05:35 DaemonFC; Since the Senate favors the Republican Party slightly even with popular vote.
05:36 DaemonFC; They figured that they could rig the Senate, seize power, and just spend all of the years that they had 51 votes (having repealed the filibuster) appointing judges and federal bureaucrats to dismantle the regulatory state and impose their court rulings on us.
05:36 DaemonFC; As long as they never lose the White House (because of the fake Census) they have all the time in the world to tear down everything.
05:38 DaemonFC; And we could get there yet.
05:38 DaemonFC; We were just spared this cycle from having a completely fabricated Census that lets them do that.
05:40 DaemonFC; There's a process where cities and states can have the Census correct counting errors, but it doesn't change how many House seats or electoral votes they have that cycle.
05:41 DaemonFC; But it does change how much money they get from Congress for population-funded programs, and they could potentially sue their state legislature and demand a redistricting based on the new numbers.
05:42 DaemonFC; So it would actually be possible to gerrymander Illinois a little more.
05:42 DaemonFC; The large cities could all get together and initiate the updated count process.
05:42 DaemonFC; Then when it turns out there's more people living up here than were counted last time, the state legislature could tweak the maps saying they have to under "One Person, One Vote", and it would be legal.
05:43 DaemonFC; They probably wouldn't end up getting to make major changes, but they could put a couple of districts a little further from reach of the Republicans.

10:57 bnchs; thats the problem
10:57 schestowitz-TR2; my laptop has VGA port
10:57 bnchs; they remove the optical drive
10:57 schestowitz-TR2; yeah
10:57 bnchs; DVDs are very cheaper than USBs
10:58 schestowitz-TR2; and then you'r at the mercy of flash stuff
10:58 schestowitz-TR2; I still have some blank DVDs I can burn
10:58 schestowitz-TR2; it's very easy to install distros this way
10:58 bnchs; 3DH for a blank DVD, than 50 DH for a 8GB usb
10:59 bnchs; newer laptops don't have optical drives
10:59 schestowitz-TR2; it's not about users
10:59 schestowitz-TR2; sooner or later..
11:00 schestowitz-TR2; all those CD ROMs and DVDs
11:00 schestowitz-TR2; that people piled up
11:00 schestowitz-TR2; won't be playble 10+ years later
11:00 schestowitz-TR2; the TV will just do "streaming"
11:00 schestowitz-TR2; i.e. you rent one-time access
11:00 bnchs; yes
11:00 schestowitz-TR2; and those audio CDs too won't be playable
11:00 bnchs; you won't own your data physically
11:00 schestowitz-TR2; how "cool" is that?
11:01 schestowitz-TR2; "here, buy this CD for $20..."
11:01 bnchs; the problem is that music streaming (like spotify) rely on lossy files
11:01 schestowitz-TR2; "it'll last you maybe 10 years"
11:01 bnchs; and CDs use lossless audio
11:01 schestowitz-TR2; even cassette tapes lasted loger
11:01 schestowitz-TR2; so I cna listen to tapes I recorded in the 90s
11:02 bnchs; i still have dusted CDs from early 2000's that still work
11:02 bnchs; maybe some of them with minor sector errors
11:03 schestowitz-TR2; you can get second-hand laptops

11:06 TR News; The site "itsubuntu" is turning to shit and literally promoting Windows, not "Ubuntu" or GNU/Linux. It ought to rename.
11:07 bnchs; anyway i want optical drives back
11:07 bnchs; but unfortunately it has been "replaced" with streaming bullshit
11:07 bnchs; that's even more lower-quality than it
11:08 schestowitz-TR2; yeah, fsf needs to talk more about these issues
11:09 schestowitz-TR2; but as rms told me, they are too busy by other crises
11:09 schestowitz-TR2; including anti-FSF campaigns
11:09 schestowitz-TR2; which were partly intended to achieve this distraction
11:09 schestowitz-TR2; and brain drain at FSF
11:09 bnchs; lossy files cut off information by an arbitrary range
11:09 schestowitz-TR2; not just that
11:09 bnchs; (e.g. human ear range)
11:09 schestowitz-TR2; remember:
11:09 schestowitz-TR2; when you compress these files risk of corruptoion is higher
11:10 bnchs; yes
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; with ramohphones I can play records from the 60s
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; optical drives are worse
11:10 bnchs; you can re-encode lossless files over and over again
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; worse thnn tapes
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; magnetic tapes might sound worse
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; but would still WORK
11:10 bnchs; but with lossy files, it gonna sound like shit after 30 encodings
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; now we have things that last days, weeks (like trape rental), at most years
11:10 schestowitz-TR2; on "the clown" or streaming
11:11 schestowitz-TR2; so they can sell us again the exact same shit 5 years down the line

11:14 schestowitz-TR2; bnchs: yes, it is a BUSINESS decision
11:14 schestowitz-TR2; it is also a bubble
11:14 schestowitz-TR2; like music DRM
11:14 schestowitz-TR2; now they try the streaming approach
11:14 schestowitz-TR2; 1980s: I collect records
11:15 schestowitz-TR2; 1990s: I record tapes
11:15 schestowitz-TR2; then CDs
11:15 schestowitz-TR2; then they do mp3s
11:15 schestowitz-TR2; and they freak out about mass sharing
11:15 schestowitz-TR2; they try to impose DRM
11:15 bnchs; they put windows-only DRM in CD
11:15 schestowitz-TR2; and that backfires bacdly
11:15 bnchs; no audio CD
11:15 schestowitz-TR2; not they turn to "streaming"
11:15 schestowitz-TR2; bnchs: so avoid such CDs
11:15 bnchs; with DRM, you can only pick an approved player
11:15 schestowitz-TR2; Sony tried rootkits
11:16 bnchs; with no DRM, you can pick any supported players
11:16 bnchs; and even edit it
11:16 schestowitz-TR2; bnchs: screw them, I make my own copy and can make backups
11:16 schestowitz-TR2; even if you shelled my city I can still watch it as long as I have electricity
11:16 bnchs; yeah i dump CDs to flacs
11:16 bnchs; and then burn them to other blank CDs
11:17 schestowitz-TR2; good

11:19 bnchs; instead of just directly downloading movies
11:20 schestowitz-TR2; non-free software is part of the push for people to have expensive lifestyles
11:20 schestowitz-TR2; having to pay for the same things over and over again
11:20 schestowitz-TR2; and as a result of riising expenses they need to work more, and harder
11:20 schestowitz-TR2; chains to a system that treats them as disposables
11:20 schestowitz-TR2; bnchs: they don't get to keep anything
11:21 schestowitz-TR2; it's like trespassing instead of owning the store
11:21 schestowitz-TR2; the joke is on them
11:21 bnchs; yes
11:21 schestowitz-TR2; on a set of 3 5TB HDDs
11:21 bnchs; netfilx accounts come and go
11:22 schestowitz-TR2; you can store like 15,000 films
11:22 bnchs; but copies of a movie you own can last forever
11:22 schestowitz-TR2; and the total cost would be about $300
11:24 schestowitz-TR2; a 5tb drive would cost even less than $100 in 5 years

11:34 schestowitz-TR2; and cannot hand over to a friend
11:34 bnchs; maybe because other proprietary platforms emphanize it
11:34 bnchs; like discord, PS4
11:34 schestowitz-TR2; ads are not making anything free
11:34 bnchs; they literally have spotify features

13:19 schestowitz-TR2; I think you are there already
13:20 schestowitz-TR2; we are discussing this internalkly
13:20 schestowitz-TR2; short story:
13:20 schestowitz-TR2; diapora is not in good shape
13:20 schestowitz-TR2; loss of users
13:20 schestowitz-TR2; little in terms of coding
13:20 schestowitz-TR2; and quite a few large instances ("pods")m shutting down
13:20 schestowitz-TR2; we've decided not to do articles and videos about it
13:20 schestowitz-TR2; as that would lower morale in a VOLUNTEER project
13:21 schestowitz-TR2; fun fact: almost 10% of all posts in all diapora pods are mine

13:22 schestowitz; it's part of a global trend
13:22 schestowitz; twitter has been flailing for more than 5 years, it's well past its peak, and FB openly admits that it too lost the plot
13:23 schestowitz; my sister, who has a FB account btw, told me today she stopped posting there
13:23 schestowitz; people got bored of it
13:24 psydroid2; I haven't posted anything on FB in ages, but some of my friends and relatives use it to contact me (unfortunately)
13:25 psydroid2; I got bored of it too years ago
13:26 psydroid2; Diaspora was the right idea, but got bogged down in terms of resources and lack of manpower for development
13:29 schestowitz; me:
13:29 schestowitz; (Roy here)
13:29 schestowitz; I've finally managed to export my @Linux data account (yay! Well done, devs!), not yet @schestowitz (it's a lot bigger), and my understanding based on the documentation is that account IMPORT is not implemented yet, so we shall have to wait for a future release. If my assumption is wrong, let me know.
13:29 schestowitz; psydroid2: yes, it's very slow
13:29 schestowitz; but they want to retain some active users
13:29 schestowitz; to slow down the bleeding

22:43 TR Bot; Contract for deed: The promise of homeownership that often leaves Midwest buyers out in the cold | KCUR 89.3 - NPR in Kansas City. Local news, entertainment and podcasts.
22:43 DaemonFC; "For example, when the Pennsylvania Attorney General sued a company that did hundreds of rent-to-own contracts in that state, it discovered that only 2% of buyers succeeded in obtaining the deed for the propert, signifying that they were now homeowners."
22:43 DaemonFC; I wonder how many people who get a 30 year mortgage lose the house.
22:43 DaemonFC; The article provides nothing to compare this to.
22:45 DaemonFC; " Investors used contract sales to sell properties at inflated prices with high interest rates to people who could not get a conventional mortgage."
22:45 DaemonFC; Yeah, mom and Dave (idiot #3) got a house on a contract agreement because with six figures a year between them they couldn't come up with $11,500 to buy a house in bad condition.
22:46 DaemonFC; So they signed the agreement at what turned out to be 12% interest and mom put a bunch of money into fixing the house and lost it to Dave in the divorce (second house she paid to fix up and then lost to an ex-husband).
22:47 DaemonFC; Meanwhile, they were paying rent on top of that and she couldn't get him to fix the new house fast enough to move into, so that went on for 6 months before they had to move in and do the rest later because they were out of money.
22:48 DaemonFC; She had me go over there and help so it would get done quicker.
22:49 DaemonFC; The guy isn't that smart. He was wondering how we were going to get rid of a cast iron bathtub and I said "You don't remove it in one piece. Cast iron weighs a ton. Give me that sledgehammer.".
