01:33 reptilian_thrills; captchas are the webs way of telling you the web is a piece of shit

01:33 reptilian_thrills; sort of like if youre trying to date a woman and shes wearing a button that says "i love male tears"

01:33 reptilian_thrills; it doesnt matter if youre a lesbian, shes a dick

01:33 reptilian_thrills; captchas are like that

01:34 reptilian_thrills; theyre the red hair on a radical feminist of the internet

01:35 reptilian_thrills; (dyed red, not ginger)

01:35 reptilian_thrills; i went through trying to sign up for a blog recently

01:36 reptilian_thrills; i tried wordpress, then i rememmbered word press just fails to load now

01:36 reptilian_thrills; like you go to edit a page (after signing in) and its blank

01:36 reptilian_thrills; so you restart the browser and only sometimes it works

01:36 reptilian_thrills; what the fuck is that

01:36 reptilian_thrills; 1. why would restarting the browser help

01:37 reptilian_thrills; 2. why wouldnt it help reliably

01:37 reptilian_thrills; wordpress is destroyed, trash, useless

01:37 reptilian_thrills; but i tried to sign up a few places

01:37 reptilian_thrills; most didnt work. why? the web is trash

01:37 reptilian_thrills; thanks for destroying it, tim

01:37 reptilian_thrills; good job

01:38 reptilian_thrills; knighthoods should come in suppository form

01:38 reptilian_thrills; the web has gone systemd

01:39 reptilian_thrills; i like websites that work reliably

01:39 reptilian_thrills; even tr, lol, i wont say what laughable problem it has

01:39 reptilian_thrills; ariadne probably knows, its not a security issue, she wouldnt care

01:39 reptilian_thrills; but its got issues too

01:40 reptilian_thrills; if they bothered her or roy one of them would have it fixed

01:40 reptilian_thrills; like i said, its not a security issue, its a usability issue

01:40 reptilian_thrills; and its not the silly cert thing. i dont care about that more than roy does (not in this instance)

01:42 reptilian_thrills; the web was cool in the 90s, so was the linux kernel

01:42 reptilian_thrills; the linux kernel isnt modern

01:42 reptilian_thrills; reliable kernels should be in a reliable museum

01:43 reptilian_thrills; linus should be in an idiot douchebag museum

01:43 reptilian_thrills; next to tim berners-lee

01:43 reptilian_thrills; next to the guys that made the last several captchas

01:44 reptilian_thrills; next to trump, just so you know which museum it is

01:44 reptilian_thrills; im not saying biden is a significant improvement. if he was, he wouldnt have gotten elected

01:45 reptilian_thrills; actually they already have an idiot douchebag museum, its called the senate

01:45 reptilian_thrills; so just make timbl a senator along with linus

09:42 reptilian_thrills; I don't usually think of community moderation thresholds as being "Someone is breaking the law" <- and many of us dont believe a code of conduct will be applied reasonably

09:42 schestowitz[TR]; <reptilian_thrills> In expressing a desire for people to suffer physical harm <- as far as i know, thats not a crime in the united states

09:42 schestowitz[TR]; that is more like pain/death wish

09:42 schestowitz[TR]; afaik, death wishes are legal

09:42 schestowitz[TR]; but not death threats

09:42 mjg59_; Oh yeah for it to be criminal in the US it has to be something a reasonable person would interpret as an imminent threat

09:43 reptilian_thrills; mjg: if youre suggesting that this channel should have a code of conduct, thats funny on several levels

09:43 reptilian_thrills; maybe even recursively

09:43 MinceR; it's par for the course though

09:45 reptilian_thrills; most of not all morality is based on hypocrisy and double standards-- SOME at least is worthwhile even if it is imperfect

09:45 MinceR; this fake morality is the same as the one that causes people to say "unalive" instead of "kill", while ensuring that every eukaryote in the solar system dies in a few hundred years

09:48 reptilian_thrills; i mainly bring it up to point out that i havent misplaced that notion or anything

09:48 schestowitz[TR]; yesterday: "As software engineers, we have a huge moral responsibility. We are not only implementing it, we are ourselves using those tools and letting our family and children using them."

09:48 reptilian_thrills; but the other thing is, i try to understand the coup as a whole

09:48 schestowitz[TR]; RMS says, better become a gartner

09:48 schestowitz[TR]; gardener

09:48 reptilian_thrills; and while he could be the leader for all i know

09:48 schestowitz[TR]; than write proprietary software

09:48 schestowitz[TR]; I think he intentionally exaggerates

09:48 reptilian_thrills; and hes certainly the closest we have to a spokseperson for them

09:49 reptilian_thrills; i dont know the actual leadership structure

09:49 MinceR; RMS should have said that to poettering and his cult

09:49 reptilian_thrills; the closest i can get to that is to look at who was there in the beginning

09:49 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR]: Yeah I'm unclear on how implementing a mechanism that ensures that end-users have control over what their systems boot is a violation of that responsibility

09:49 reptilian_thrills; <schestowitz[TR]> I think he intentionally exaggerates <- its more like abstraction and reframing

09:50 reptilian_thrills; RMS should have said that to poettering and his cult <- to go fuck themselves with a grenade launcher?

09:50 MinceR; mjg59_: that mechanism would be a good idea

09:50 MinceR; and we used to have one

09:50 MinceR; mjg59_: but your overlords ensures that it's no longer available.

09:50 MinceR; s/res/red/

09:50 MinceR; mjg59_: and you provide moral support to them in this

09:51 mjg59_; MinceR: users had no ability to prevent their systems booting material they didn't want to boot in the past, and this was used against them

09:51 MinceR; mjg59_: you're confusing MICROS~1 with users

09:52 reptilian_thrills; users had no ability to prevent their systems booting material they didn't want to boot in the past <- i would love to buy a machine with firmware that prevented windows from running

09:52 reptilian_thrills; id want to know what else it could prevent though

09:52 mjg59_; reptilian_thrills: You can now!

09:52 reptilian_thrills; better yet, id love to buy a machine without windows. those seem too rare (and most run macos instead)

09:52 mjg59_; And have been able to for a decade

09:52 mjg59_; Just add the Windows signing key to dbx

09:52 mjg59_; And no Windows install media will ever boot

09:52 reptilian_thrills; <mjg59_> reptilian_thrills: You can now! <- i think you misunderstand the application for your expertise on the specs

09:52 mjg59_; Linux will still boot fine

09:52 MinceR; until they use a different key

09:53 reptilian_thrills; i want to buy a machine PRECONFIGURED to not run windows

09:53 MinceR; then they boot Backdoors, Backdoors phones home and fucks up your UEFI

09:53 reptilian_thrills; and youre missing the joke (or pretending to miss it)

09:53 mjg59_; reptilian_thrills: I'd love it if System76 offered that

09:53 MinceR; (that is, fucks it up even more)

09:53 mjg59_; MinceR: Yeah they can't use a different key because the system doesn't trust that key

09:54 reptilian_thrills; "i solumnly swear that i am not a chav running warez yeah"

09:55 mjg59_; Shim was explicitly designed to ensure that you could boot whatever kernels you wanted

09:55 mjg59_; If you don't want to sign stuff, you just disable signature validation using mokutil

09:55 MinceR; shim could also run Backdoors, couldn't it?

09:55 reptilian_thrills; if you want to set your own term in gnome, just install a plugin :/

09:55 MinceR; if i disable signature validation, they could boot Backdoors

09:56 mjg59_; If you configure your system to boot anything, it'll boot anything

09:56 schestowitz[TR]; shim thwarts antitrust actiobn

09:56 MinceR; twist it any way you want, you can't elude the fact that MICROS~1 wrote the rules to give themselves all the advantage and the hardware vendors enforce all of them, in fear of being made to pay more for Backdoors licenses

09:56 schestowitz[TR]; so it can infest machines with BS

09:56 schestowitz[TR]; that blocks Linux

09:56 schestowitz[TR]; while claiming "SECURITY!"

09:57 reptilian_thrills; you can't elude the fact that MICROS~1 wrote the rules to give themselves all the advantage <- this is definitely what i think

09:57 schestowitz[TR]; I said this to you MOAR than 10 years ago

09:57 mjg59_; If you want your system to boot Linux but not boot Windows, it needs some way to tell the difference between them

09:57 MinceR; and all the governments talking their asses off about how they have market economy and how they guard you against monopolies, do nothing about this

09:57 schestowitz[TR]; I used the OOXML analogy

09:57 reptilian_thrills; <mjg59_> If you want your system to boot Linux but not boot Windows <- that was a joke of course

09:57 reptilian_thrills; the point is to not have to run windows, not to actually have firmware do what i jokingly said

09:57 MinceR; and the governments enforce other Imaginary Property rules to make this whole scheme workable

09:58 mjg59_; reptilian_thrills: The fact that people can't install their own firmware on many commodity systems is absolute bullshit

09:58 MinceR; without copyright, hardware vendors could preload Backdoors without paying MICROS~1 at all, thus MICROS~1 would have no hold on them

09:59 reptilian_thrills; the GPL already has no meaning <- very little at best

09:59 mjg59_; Hey, maybe the SFC's case against Vizio will work out

09:59 MinceR; you can take GPL-ed software, turn it into a daemon that provides a dbugs API and use it from proprietary software all you want

09:59 reptilian_thrills; it historically has meaning

10:00 mjg59_; It actually covers a lot of interesting legal ground

10:00 MinceR; also, Linux is GPL-ed and "Linux Foundation" members get to do whatever they like with it

10:00 reptilian_thrills; of course not, im banking that once i am, it will be as i say :)

10:00 MinceR; including vmware

10:00 reptilian_thrills; its prejudice to be sure

10:00 MinceR; who are well known for being GPL violators

10:00 schestowitz[TR]; without copyright law for code, proprietary anf FOSS might have not much difference either

10:00 reptilian_thrills; but that doesnt mean im wrong :)

10:00 schestowitz[TR]; so you skip that step

10:00 schestowitz[TR]; by singling out GPL

10:00 schestowitz[TR]; workers could leak out the code

10:00 reptilian_thrills; It actually covers a lot of interesting legal ground <- oh this im sure of

10:00 schestowitz[TR]; and that's it

10:00 schestowitz[TR]; it spreads like in dawn of computing

10:01 MinceR; even now, mjg59_'s overlords are trying to take over the FSF so that GPLv4 can be a permissive license, removing copyleft from all works licensed with an "or later version" clause

10:01 mjg59_; reptilian_thrills: The basic claim is that the GPL should actually be interpreted as a contract under US law

10:01 reptilian_thrills; are trying to take over the FSF so that GPLv4 <- i think its said and done really

10:01 schestowitz[TR]; MinceR: not just FSF

10:38 reptilian_thrills; because I complained that the criticism here looked more like Gamergate <- you brought up gamergate yes

10:40 mjg59_; Right?

10:41 reptilian_thrills; dr. linkedin

10:41 schestowitz[TR]; i created an account there in 2006 because a colleague told me to

10:41 MinceR; who the fuck uses anything from MICROS~1

10:41 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR]: When did you graduate?

10:41 reptilian_thrills; who the fuck uses anything from MICROS~1 <- everybody because of fucking firmware

10:41 schestowitz[TR]; it has been largely the same for well over a decade, way before microsoft even touched it

10:42 MinceR; it's merely a coincidence that it uses MICROS~1 formats and practices everywhere

10:42 reptilian_thrills; <mjg59_> schestowitz[TR]: When did you graduate? <- ask the registrar <- this is a great idea

10:42 MinceR; like PE and FAT and keeping the hw clock set to local time

10:42 MinceR; yeah, it's possible to implement the spec on your own

10:42 MinceR; nobody does.

10:43 mjg59_; But you don't need to use Microsoft code

10:43 MinceR; and it isn't even practical

10:44 schestowitz[TR]; haha

10:44 mjg59_; Everyone should be free to run the firmware of their choice on their hardware

10:44 schestowitz[TR]; I started my thesis 2015

10:45 psydruid; on x86 you're SOL, but I don't care about that architecture

10:45 schestowitz[TR]; turns out that's one year after mjg had started a phd

10:45 schestowitz[TR]; so I was ahead of him

10:45 schestowitz[TR]; and he is abotu 5 years my senior

10:45 MinceR; on ARM you're also SOL, afaict

10:45 schestowitz[TR]; sorry, I meant 2005

10:45 schestowitz[TR]; not 2015

10:45 mjg59_; Yeah I quit my first PhD after they hassled me about using SSH

10:45 schestowitz[TR]; so a year after he enrolled I already finished all my phd work and focused on the thesis

10:46 mjg59_; And spent a while working on accessibility software

10:46 schestowitz[TR]; ok

10:46 mjg59_; And contributing to various free software projects

10:46 mjg59_; And then started another in 2004

10:46 psydruid; ARM is not the end game, but I don't have (fully free) RISC-V hardware yet

10:48 MinceR; because the governments support the megacorporations that killed our industry.

10:48 reptilian_thrills; antitrust and war crimes tribunals dont work on its basically microsoft

10:49 MinceR; and while they claim to take our sovereignty in part to uphold an alleged free market, the free market continues to be absent.

10:49 reptilian_thrills; only a revolution could hope to stop them

10:49 psydruid; killing that industry is not a bad thing?

10:49 mjg59_; I'll admit that I've taken the side of "Make this work so people can benefit" rather than "Pretend it's impossible so maybe a court will take our side"

10:49 reptilian_thrills; killing that industry is not a bad thing? <- only wishing them death :)

10:49 psydruid; maybe that industry should just die?

10:49 MinceR; if we had a replacement, it wouldn't be

10:49 MinceR; but making an integrated circuit at home is hard

10:50 reptilian_thrills; I'll admit that I've taken the side of "Make this work so people can benefit" rather than "Pretend it's impossible so maybe a court will take our side" <- there are pros and cons of both approaches

10:50 MinceR; and in the end, we'll all die anyway because the human species is a fucking failure

10:50 reptilian_thrills; the con of your approach is they get to keep changing the rules and we dance for them

10:50 psydruid; making an integrated circuit at home should become dead simple

10:50 mjg59_; It's cool, we'll replace existing hardware with improved Z80s running code that only builds with tcc

10:50 MinceR; we'll die out as a species, not only as individuals

10:50 psydruid; that's the kind of industry I want

10:50 reptilian_thrills; It's cool, we'll replace existing hardware with improved Z80s running code that only builds with tcc <- if not for this channel, that w3ould be a strawman :)

10:51 MinceR; i doubt i can afford to even do the Z80 thing, as the thing my X60s is too slow to run definitely won't run on a Z80

10:51 mjg59_; reptilian_thrills: If someone came up with a coherent strategy to prevent the corporations from just changing the rules I'd go with that, but that's not what's been presented

10:51 MinceR; plus i don't like having application errors corrupt kernel memory

10:51 reptilian_thrills; but that's not what's been presented <- freedom is taken more often than its agreed upon

10:51 mjg59_; reptilian_thrills: And in the absence of that, I'd rather ensure that people can take advantage of what's available rather than deny them that in the hope that in the future we'll find a better way

10:52 mjg59_; If someone convinces me there's a better way? I'm on it.

10:52 reptilian_thrills; i would say that sometimes its better to refuse to play by their rules

10:52 reptilian_thrills; than to make everything work their way

10:52 MinceR; for that, you don't have to pretend what you're helping to support is actually an improvement over what it replaces

10:52 reptilian_thrills; note i said sometimes

10:52 mjg59_; If it were just me, sure

10:52 reptilian_thrills; especially if its not just you

10:52 MinceR; you don't have to advertise how great and "secure" it is, when it isn't

10:53 mjg59_; But it's "Can people buy a laptop that's on the market and run a Free OS on it"

10:53 psydruid; it's better to not use devices than to use backdoored and malicious ones

10:53 MinceR; you don't have to pretend it wasn't invented to strengthen MICROS~1's stranglehold on the ruins of the IT industry either.

10:53 MinceR; but all this should be trivial for dr. supragenius

10:53 reptilian_thrills; it's better to not use devices than to use backdoored and malicious ones <- mostly yes, as a rule yes

10:53 mjg59_; Cool we can insist that you don't get to benefit from free software unless you buy a specific Chinese MIPS laptop

10:53 reptilian_thrills; im crazy enough to consider exceptions. but they should be exceptions

10:57 MinceR; but it doesn't, so i can't

10:58 reptilian_thrills; and it ended up with a different BIOS boot number <- doesnt grub have a mode that lets you fix that by simply typing something

10:58 MinceR; you can reinstall grub by booting off USB

11:06 MinceR; today MICROS~1 gets to show its siamese twin crApple to the government and say, "see, we do have competition!"

11:06 MinceR; and then they get to do to us whatever they feel like.

11:06 mjg59_; Linux was still trying to support SMP

11:07 mjg59_; If it had happened even like three years later, things would probably have looked very different

11:07 mjg59_; But free software just didn't have a seat at the table then

11:07 MinceR; it never did

11:07 *techuser has quit (connection closed)

11:07 MinceR; it still doesn't

11:07 MinceR; systemd/Linux is not free software

11:07 mjg59_; A shitload of UEFI design decisions since then have been driven by free software

11:07 reptilian_thrills; free software just didn't have a seat at the table then <- but microsoft has seats at lf and osi

11:07 reptilian_thrills; and every distro the fsf promotes except one

11:07 MinceR; yeah

11:08 MinceR; specifically by the desire to extinguish free software

11:08 mjg59_; reptilian_thrills: Whoever gets there first and still survives tends to maintain influence in a wider space

11:08 MinceR; we can't buy a PC without UEFI specifically to make it more difficult or impossible to run free software on a PC

11:08 MinceR; occasionally MICROS~1 even admitted this

11:08 MinceR; in email, they talked about "whacking" dHell for offering another OS as a preinstalled option

11:09 reptilian_thrills; Whoever gets there first and still survives tends to maintain influence in a wider space <- stating a fact doesnt make it good (or even inevitable)

11:09 mjg59_; Eh the primary economic reason was that it was getting increasingly hard to find people who could write x86 assembly

11:09 reptilian_thrills; thats just the way it is

11:09 MinceR; did this make the government of the USA do anything to make the PC OS market free? fuck no.

11:09 mjg59_; Vendors were happy to shift to an environment where they could hire C programmers

11:09 reptilian_thrills; some thingsll never change

11:09 MinceR; they took people's money and freedom and gave nothing for it.

11:09 MinceR; the "social contract" is a fucking scam, always was.

11:14 reptilian_thrills; i think it's mistaking <- no it isnt

11:14 schestowitz[TR]; software existed underc capitalism while schilars shared

11:14 schestowitz[TR]; universities that wewr capitalist

11:14 reptilian_thrills; <schestowitz[TR]> capitalism is not against sharing <- of course it is

11:14 MinceR; ...at the moment

11:14 psydruid; and yet we exist in a capitalist prison, just don't try to break out of it

11:15 reptilian_thrills; <schestowitz[TR]> capitalism is not against sharing <- this is beside the point anyway

11:15 reptilian_thrills; capitalism concentrates power

11:15 schestowitz[TR]; right

11:15 schestowitz[TR]; that's an issue

11:15 reptilian_thrills; this is at oodds with why free software exists

11:15 schestowitz[TR]; but let's focus on what capitalism states or stands for

11:15 reptilian_thrills; ut let's focus on what capitalism states or stands for <- how about no

11:15 reptilian_thrills; how about instead, we look at what it actually does

11:15 reptilian_thrills; and why that means it cant coexist with free software

11:15 schestowitz[TR]; I don't think capitalism stands for monopoly either

11:16 schestowitz[TR]; but de facto modern capitalism seems to

11:16 psydruid; capitalism had to curb free software and did so

11:16 reptilian_thrills; capitalism had to curb free software and did so <- to me thats enough reason

11:16 mjg59_; What I mean is that yes I'd rather we had differnt and more equitable outcomes, but we don't get to simply get those outcomes because a bunch of people with more money have more influence in them

11:17 psydruid; but it was also free software's flaw to be so easy to control

11:17 mjg59_; What I will say is that free software has had a louder voice in some of these decision making processes than I expected

11:17 reptilian_thrills; 1. look at what capitalism did to watson, ballmer and musk 2. look at what it did to manning, assange and stallman

11:17 schestowitz[TR]; LT had CNN pulls this trap on him

11:17 reptilian_thrills; i dont know what else you even need to know about this

11:17 MinceR; i am against sharing my home with random strangers

11:17 MinceR; i guess that makes me a bad person

11:17 psydruid; something that is truly owned and written by the masses can never be controlled

11:17 reptilian_thrills; unfortunately, stallman is barely a socialist

11:17 mjg59_; Like, free software isn't incompatible with capitalism

11:20 schestowitz[TR]; MinceR: depends

11:20 MinceR; even the corpses won't last forever

11:20 MinceR; neither will the monuments

11:20 schestowitz[TR]; as hunter gatherers I think we stood better chance at LONG-TERM sruvival

11:21 MinceR; yeah

11:21 schestowitz[TR]; even if humans didn't live long back then

11:21 MinceR; we could get close to the point when the Sun blows away our atmosphere and dries up our oceans

11:21 schestowitz[TR]; poking sticks at fruit and animals

11:21 MinceR; as we stand now, we won't get nearly as close

11:21 reptilian_thrills; as hunter gatherers I think we stood better chance at LONG-TERM sruvival <- well, no

11:21 mjg59_; MinceR: I know it's an easy opinion to hold, but seriously, MS has not paid me to say anything

11:21 reptilian_thrills; because without civilisation we probably never would have developed the means to escape the sun exploding

11:21 schestowitz[TR]; instead of building mega-platforms that suck trillions of litres of oil from under the ground

11:22 MinceR; if humans were as intelligent as they advertise themselves (parallel with mjg59_), we'd have a chance of leaving the planet before the Sun kills us, and we could spread between multiple solar systems

11:22 mjg59_; MinceR: I appreciate that it may involve you thinking less of me, but I promise that I hold these opinions for free

11:22 reptilian_thrills; not that i love civilisation, its basically a nice way to say colonialism

11:22 MinceR; reptilian_thrills: yeah, civilization would be nice to have

11:22 reptilian_thrills; reptilian_thrills: yeah, civilization would be nice to hav <- ah, then it wouldnt be civilisation

11:23 MinceR; it isn't

11:23 schestowitz[TR]; MinceR: I don't remember how long we have until the SUn expands, but it's a LOT

11:23 reptilian_thrills; and if it was, it wouldnt be

11:23 schestowitz[TR]; from memory, the planet is 4 billion years

11:23 schestowitz[TR]; life about 1 billion

11:23 schestowitz[TR]; and humans 150,000

11:23 reptilian_thrills; but it's a LOT <- you said LONG TERM you didnt say how long

11:23 schestowitz[TR]; depends on what "counts" as human

11:23 MinceR; schestowitz[TR]: about 1 billion years until we're without an atmosphere, about 5 until the Earth's current orbit is absorbed by the Sun

11:23 schestowitz[TR]; and sun expands in billions of years from now

11:23 schestowitz[TR]; maybe 6?

11:24 MinceR; 5

11:24 reptilian_thrills; about 1 billion years until we're without an atmosphere <- so we should probably get moving

11:24 MinceR; it probably starts before then

11:24 schestowitz[TR]; ok, I checked a while ago

11:24 schestowitz[TR]; it was 6 billions then

11:24 MinceR; we should have gotten moving a few decades ago

11:24 schestowitz[TR]; nit's 5 now

11:24 reptilian_thrills; the good news is i think we can get out of the solar system

11:24 schestowitz[TR]; I ages a little ;-)

11:24 schestowitz[TR]; *aged

11:24 mjg59_; It's cool, Elon says we'll be on Mars by the end of the year

11:24 reptilian_thrills; the bad news is, we had to bomb japan first

11:24 MinceR; we should have at least stopped boiling ourselves on a planet we can't escape

11:24 MinceR; but no

11:24 MinceR; yeah, elon can suffocate on mars by the end of the year

11:24 reptilian_thrills; we should have at least stopped boiling ourselves on a planet we can't escape <- still possible

11:24 MinceR; we can't even fix earth and elon is dreaming about terraforming mars

11:24 MinceR; laughable.

11:25 reptilian_thrills; self-driving mars

11:25 schestowitz[TR]; it's posing for attention

11:25 schestowitz[TR]; why rich people speaak about space

11:25 mjg59_; I'm willing to believe that climate change is going to destroy existing civilisation and result in billions of deaths

11:25 schestowitz[TR]; (even ones who don't grasp basic science)

11:25 schestowitz[TR]; 1) vanity/status

11:25 schestowitz[TR]; 2) hobby

11:25 mjg59_; I doubt it'll actually wipe out humanity

11:25 MinceR; it can't, because we can't build civilization until then

11:25 schestowitz[TR]; 3) attention

11:25 schestowitz[TR]; 4) legacy

11:25 reptilian_thrills; I'm willing to believe that climate change is going to destroy existing civilisation and result in billions of deaths <- it could do that

11:25 MinceR; and global warming isn't the only thing we're doing to ourselves

11:26 schestowitz[TR]; 5) fantasy about eternal life, connected to narcissism (they need to stand out SOMEHOW)

11:26 schestowitz[TR]; travling to mares is infeasable atm

11:26 MinceR; we developed WMDs and handed them out to religious fundamentalist zealots whose religion "teaches" them not to mind everybody dying

11:26 schestowitz[TR]; for humans

11:26 schestowitz[TR]; even just getting there is hard

11:26 mjg59_; The worst case scenarios still result in habitable portions of the world - unless it triggers apocalyptic military conflict for those, people will survive

11:26 schestowitz[TR]; staying there is a lot harder

11:26 schestowitz[TR]; coming back almost impossible

11:26 MinceR; we developed all the ideologies that suggest that we should split humanity into 2 factions, have one kill the other off, and repeat

11:26 schestowitz[TR]; you need a rocket just to get out of its gravty

11:26 schestowitz[TR]; so you need a rocket to carry another rokcte

11:27 schestowitz[TR]; for the round trip

11:27 reptilian_thrills; The worst case scenarios still result in habitable portions of the world <- as long as theres an atmosphere

11:27 schestowitz[TR]; the whole thing is sci-fi BS

11:27 MinceR; i wonder what the habitable portion will be in global nuclear winter

11:27 schestowitz[TR]; while people go broke and hungary at home

11:27 schestowitz[TR]; hungry

11:27 schestowitz[TR]; or hungary

11:27 MinceR; some part of the atmosphere above the soot?

11:27 mjg59_; We could set fire to pretty much everything and there'd still be enough oxygen to sustain life

11:27 schestowitz[TR]; almost the same thing now

11:27 schestowitz[TR]; thanks, orban

11:27 reptilian_thrills; the whole thing is sci-fi BS <- thats what they say about the moon landing too

11:28 reptilian_thrills; even after it was accomplished

11:28 MinceR; some people still say it was faked

11:28 MinceR; because humanity is a failure

11:28 mjg59_; I want to make it clear that the fact that we're the sort of people who are sitting on IRC right now means we're probably not going to be in the set of people who survive

11:28 schestowitz[TR]; <reptilian_thrills> the whole thing is sci-fi BS <- thats what they say about the moon landing too

11:28 schestowitz[TR]; which part?

11:28 MinceR; that's easy to say

11:28 schestowitz[TR]; the soviets crashing objects into the moon?

11:28 MinceR; since that set is the empty set

11:28 schestowitz[TR]; or the US sending a man there

11:28 schestowitz[TR]; or several

11:28 schestowitz[TR]; after soviets sent a dog to space

11:29 schestowitz[TR]; lykha

11:29 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, it died

11:29 schestowitz[TR]; like putin's army

11:29 mjg59_; But you don't need that many people to have a wide enough gene pool to repopulate over a sufficiently long time

11:29 reptilian_thrills; <schestowitz[TR]> or the US sending a man ther <- the moon landing in july 1969

11:29 reptilian_thrills; But you don't need that many people to have a wide enough gene pool to repopulate over a sufficiently long time <- consolation prize

11:29 schestowitz[TR]; yeah, but it was a short an expensive trip

11:29 reptilian_thrills; it would be nice to save humanity without destroying it first

11:30 schestowitz[TR]; fly, take selfies, hop around, take some "video in portrait mode", fly back

11:30 MinceR; and even if that happens, that's still a gene pool that consists of human genes

11:30 MinceR; so, still doomed to fail

11:30 schestowitz[TR]; all this just to "prove" the pre-gaegan system worked better

11:30 schestowitz[TR]; *Reagan

11:30 MinceR; still the same defenselessness against memetic pathogens

11:30 MinceR; still the same stupidity

11:30 MinceR; still the same evilness

11:31 schestowitz[TR]; boston uni now develops enhancd covid-19

11:31 schestowitz[TR]; which they say is 50 times more lethal than wuhamn virus

11:31 MinceR; still the same incompatibility with the idea of civilization

11:31 schestowitz[TR]; just to make a point

11:31 schestowitz[TR]; in the lab

11:31 MinceR; nice

11:31 schestowitz[TR]; not speculation

11:31 MinceR; they could wipe us all out and maybe spare some eukaryotes for a while

11:31 schestowitz[TR]; they published a paper about how they did it

11:31 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR]: Uh they literally didn't say that

11:31 schestowitz[TR]; fist author is chinese name

11:31 schestowitz[TR]; which I found ironic

11:31 MinceR; unfortunately, SARS-CoV-2 is good at infecting all sorts of mammals

11:31 MinceR; so it would probably wipe them all out

11:32 schestowitz[TR]; mjg59_: they tested on rats

11:32 MinceR; but at least plants could survive for a while

11:32 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR]: 100% of the rats died with original COVID-19

11:32 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR]: 80% died with what they produced

11:34 schestowitz[TR]; I read half of mg's thesis

11:35 reptilian_thrills; fun fact, you have to be able to prescribe medicine to talk about biology. a phd in biology simply wont do

11:35 mjg59_; The BU research was about attempting to identify what aspects of COVID strains in the field related to how serious it was

11:35 schestowitz[TR]; I ran large clusters of fedora in the labs overnight

11:35 schestowitz[TR]; so it was a lot of programming

11:35 reptilian_thrills; medical doctors are the only ones that understand living organisms

11:35 schestowitz[TR]; and then orchestrating experiments

11:35 mjg59_; They took a strain of rat that, when exposed to the original Wuhan varient of COVID, died in 100% of cases

11:36 mjg59_; The same rat, when exposed to Omicron, died in far fewer cases

11:36 reptilian_thrills; not the exact same one

11:36 schestowitz[TR]; <mjg59_> Dude you have a fucking PhD in biology

11:36 reptilian_thrills; obviously

11:36 schestowitz[TR]; medical biophysics

11:36 schestowitz[TR]; not biology

11:36 reptilian_thrills; unless they had a special lab rat that could die more than once

11:36 reptilian_thrills; which would be really useful but probably expensive

11:36 mjg59_; They manipulated synthetic strains of Omicron to attempt to identify which aspects influenced mortality

11:36 schestowitz[TR]; and made hybrids

11:37 schestowitz[TR]; which were found to be more deadly

11:37 schestowitz[TR]; so they gave pointers

11:37 mjg59_; And they found that turning specific bits of Omicron back into the Wuhan varient resulted in the mortaility getting close to the original strain

11:37 schestowitz[TR]; to any other lab looking to weaponise the virus

11:37 schestowitz[TR]; at risk of also this one coming out of the lab

11:37 schestowitz[TR]; in BU

11:37 mjg59_; Which gives us information about what actually makes COVID deadly

11:37 mjg59_; But doesn't let us make it more deadly

11:38 mjg59_; Because we already know the sequence of the original strain

11:38 schestowitz[TR]; it's a manual for how making enhanced coronavirus

11:38 mjg59_; Anyone who wanted to weaponise it could just use the original strain

11:38 schestowitz[TR]; and in the process they recreate or create new strains

11:38 schestowitz[TR]; in the lab

11:38 reptilian_thrills; /me tries to figure out which doctor is better suited to creating british tabloids

11:38 MinceR; what if we wanted it to be more deadly and spread at least as well as omicron, though?

11:38 mjg59_; We don't need to make enhanced coronavirus because they made something that was no more effective than one that already existed!

11:39 schestowitz[TR]; btw, lateer oday ONS releases new data

11:39 schestowitz[TR]; I really look forward to that every day

11:39 reptilian_thrills; We don't need to make enhanced coronavirus because they made something that was no more effective than one that already existed <- or maybe the 5g rays are making you say that

11:39 mjg59_; MinceR: Omicron spreads because of immune evasion of original COVID, not because it's inherently more infectious

11:39 MinceR; so what if we wanted it to be more deadly and evade immunity to original SARS-CoV-2?

11:39 mjg59_; That's not what this research presented

11:41 mjg59_; The BU research didn't make a more deadly COVID, and it doesn't make it meaningfully easier for a bad actor to make a more deadly COVID

11:41 reptilian_thrills; plot twist: humanity gets taken over by uefi nanobots instead

11:42 MinceR; lol

11:42 schestowitz[TR]; I will plot some charts

11:42 MinceR; 99% of the software installed on the nanobots is UEFI itself

11:42 reptilian_thrills; those were fucking tedious

11:42 mjg59_; There's an entirely separate question of whether it was justifiable or ethical research!

11:43 mjg59_; reptilian_thrills: Ethics boards are supposed to be involved with live virus research

11:43 mjg59_; Because what if it escapes blah blah blah

11:43 mjg59_; There's some suggestion that the paperwork in this case didn't accurately represent potential outcomes

11:44 mjg59_; But 11:31 < schestowitz[TR]> which they say is 50 times more lethal than wuhamn virus

11:48 reptilian_thrills; admittedly a loaded question

11:49 MinceR; Microsoft <3 trans rights

11:49 mjg59_; reptilian_thrills: I will take corporations presenting even token support for groups who are discriminated against over them not doing so

11:49 MinceR; (like Linux)

11:49 mjg59_; In the current political climate they're placing themselves at some risk

11:49 reptilian_thrills; even token support <- even when it just sells tshirts?

11:49 MinceR; mjg59_: and you're not worried they'll do to it what they do to everything they touch? :>

11:49 mjg59_; It's nowhere near as much risk as doing something meaningful

11:49 MinceR; lol

11:50 MinceR; ever the MICROS~1 apologist

11:50 reptilian_thrills; In the current political climate they're placing themselves at some risk <- yeah, i can see a lot of people in trailers and motorcycle clubs moving to apple for this

11:50 mjg59_; But it's still a "Fox News will be mean about us" trade-off

11:50 MinceR; lol

11:50 MinceR; hasn't crApple done something against LGBT+ people already?

11:50 reptilian_thrills; i mean tim cook is gay

11:50 reptilian_thrills; is he transphobic?

11:51 mjg59_; So eg Google's SF LGBT group were upset that the corporate group was funding SF Pride even though SF Pride accepted SFPD

11:51 reptilian_thrills; /me assumes all these things are one-dimensional, so its actually moot that one gay ceo means nothing regarding policies etc

11:51 MinceR; gay people have done horrible things to gay people before

11:51 mjg59_; And the corporate group shut down the local group and threatened to fire them

11:51 MinceR; like jozsef szajer

11:52 mjg59_; And yeah that's 100% bullshit

11:52 reptilian_thrills; gay people have done horrible things to gay people before <- they still do

11:52 mjg59_; And fucking evil

11:52 mjg59_; SFPD have a long history of beating gay people

11:52 MinceR; police officers have a long history of beating people in general, don't they?

11:52 mjg59_; But I'd prefer Google to have funded a bad Pride than refuse to fund a bad Pride because they hated Pride

11:52 MinceR; i don't see why they'd check and stop if they encounter one that happens to be gayt

11:53 reptilian_thrills; they do target specific groups

11:53 MinceR; s/.$//

11:53 MinceR; well, they don't target rich and powerful people, i suppose

11:53 reptilian_thrills; check and stop if they encounter one that happens to be gay <- probably a group or a couple more likely

11:53 reptilian_thrills; which gay club raid by police changed the laws in britain or new york?

11:53 reptilian_thrills; or sf?

11:54 mjg59_; It's all a spectrum - spending money to support marginalised groups in reality > spending money to support your idea of a marginalised group > spending money to hurt a marginalised group

11:58 MinceR; i thought dr. supragenius made it clear already that offending people or talking about wishing them death was far worse than actually killing them

11:59 reptilian_thrills; but i think attack helicopters, like ricky gervais, dont belong in our bathrooms

11:59 mjg59_; If that's the impression I gave, I apologise - I don't believe that

11:59 MinceR; well, they wouldn't fit in any of mine

11:59 MinceR; my bathrooms are too small :(

11:59 reptilian_thrills; for one thing, attack helicopters are much bigger and more dangerous

11:59 MinceR; they're not nearly as dangerous as humans

11:59 reptilian_thrills; a bit like celebrity itself

12:01 reptilian_thrills; plot twist: the gfci tripped over the uefi

12:01 reptilian_thrills; because of the acpi

12:01 mjg59_; Your version is funnier

12:02 mjg59_; Less probability of death

12:02 reptilian_thrills; i mean thats why we have gfci in the first place

12:02 mjg59_; Yeah

12:02 MinceR; well, if your GFCI depends on UEFI and ACPI, you're actually in greater danger

12:02 MinceR; because neither of those two was engineered to be safe or reliable

12:02 mjg59_; I promise you that I would not suggest either UEFI or ACPI be involved in GFCI

12:03 MinceR; :>

12:04 reptilian_thrills; linux kernel: where were going we dont need... floppies

12:04 MinceR; if hp were to build a truck, the wheels would be nonfunctional

12:05 mjg59_; Ha man Waymo's been on the road with UEFI for years

12:05 MinceR; but they'd have a musical horn

12:05 MinceR; great

12:05 reptilian_thrills; if hp built a truck the engine wouldnt start because it would overheat in .5 seconds

12:05 MinceR; as if their higher-level software wasn't dangerous enough on its own

12:06 MinceR; maybe UEFI can prevent it from starting and then it can't cause as much damage

12:06 reptilian_thrills; if lennart poettering made a truck you could retire after working for a tow service for a year

12:06 MinceR; lol

12:06 reptilian_thrills; because it would be the only kind of truck on the road

12:07 MinceR; provided you could somehow get a tow truck he had nothing to do with

12:07 reptilian_thrills; gfci is special

12:07 reptilian_thrills; its a more complicated design that makes life LESS miserable instead of more

12:07 reptilian_thrills; unless of course youre trying to end your life with the old toaster in the bathtub

12:08 mjg59_; UEFI can actually prevent it from starting

12:08 mjg59_; Having a fully measured boot, including the config, means you can prevent a dev build switching into autonomy

12:08 mjg59_; You just keep a secret that's sealed to production keys

12:09 reptilian_thrills; users eventually fix it

12:09 mjg59_; I actually designed that for Waymo

12:10 mjg59_; But the point is you don't want an autonomous vehicle to run unless you've validated that it's in the appropriate state

12:10 mjg59_; Otherwise someone will fuck up at some point and the wrong software will be on something that's allowed onto the road

12:10 mjg59_; And that's bad!

12:11 reptilian_thrills; i saw that movie

12:11 reptilian_thrills; in the 80s it was just silly

12:11 reptilian_thrills; but now

12:11 MinceR; you probably don't want an autonomous vehicle to run unless it's either in a closed system with non-autonomous vehicles or pedestrians in it or it's a human-level AI developed to standards unattainable by gulag, MICROS~1, dehomag, crApple, intHell, Obstacle and their pals

12:12 reptilian_thrills; "hi im stephen king, and im low on cash this year"

12:14 MinceR; giving it more thought, it's pretty much impossible with humans to regulate what software is allowed to drive autonomous vehicles without locking them into some badly designed, badly implemented dangerous crap and not giving well engineered free software a chance

12:14 MinceR; so the whole thing is probably doomed in our doomed society anyway

12:14 MinceR; regulations are written to appease corporations with good access to the government

12:14 reptilian_thrills; the new toyota camry: now with funtenna

12:15 reptilian_thrills; corporations are against state regulation

12:15 reptilian_thrills; not of rivals, just of them specifically

12:15 MinceR; corporations are for state regulation that works the way they want it

12:16 MinceR; i.e. barring rivals from markets and such

12:16 reptilian_thrills; theyre against taxes but not the bailouts they get with tax money: PARADOX!

12:16 MinceR; and at this point the suits are probably more wary of engineers making self-driving cars that work well just for fun, for themselves than they are of other corporations

12:17 MinceR; well, the government already has some money that they can take

12:17 MinceR; after it's all gone, that's a different problem

12:17 MinceR; plus they could print money and hand it out

12:17 MinceR; didn't they invent a theory that justifies printing money endlessly already?

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; they will joinm the "SJW" in boycotting twitter

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; or maybe now

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; Team SJW is STILL with Musk

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; and making excuses for it

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; because they never truly stood for anything

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; except deflecting for Bill gates

12:40 schestowitz[TR]; the other part owner of Twitter

12:41 schestowitz[TR]; who also suspends people who use facts against him

12:41 MinceR; they stand for whoever rewards them

12:41 MinceR; it would be interesting to see a conflict in which both sides use SJW trolls against the other

12:41 schestowitz[TR]; (not a coincidence at all; it's a policy in Twiter)

12:42 schestowitz[TR]; maybe Musk can use 'Team SJW' to cancel his own critics

12:42 schestowitz[TR]; as they attack their 'own'

12:42 mjg59_; Team SJW is absolutely not with Musk

12:42 mjg59_; I have no idea where that comes from

12:44 reptilian_thrills; sjws and corporations vs bloggers and doctors of journalism

12:44 reptilian_thrills; musk is on the sjw side ofc

12:44 schestowitz[TR]; if you tweet, you work for musk

12:44 schestowitz[TR]; if you don't tweet, you don't

18:46 DaemonFC; I wonder what exactly happened at the Battle of Endor. Did the rest of the fleet stay and fight? There were a lot of Star Destroyers there. It was a big fleet even after the loss of Executor and the Second Death Star.

18:49 DaemonFC; MinceR, The problem with Disney's Star Wars, among the others, is that the New Republic didn't see the Imperial Remnant/First Order as a threat?

18:49 DaemonFC; Why?

18:49 DaemonFC; The backstory is that they lost a lot of worlds that voted to leave and join the First Order and the First Order still had the bulk of the Imperial Fleet.

18:49 DaemonFC; It was a major power.

18:50 DaemonFC; The Republic apparently signed some sort of peace deal that theoretically ended the conflict where it was and began a huge Cold War.

18:51 DaemonFC; But this makes no sense. The First Order was still a fascist organization with the stated goal of eventually declaring total war on the Republic and annexing its worlds.

18:51 DaemonFC; The logical course of action would have been to continue fighting them, not to sign some "peace deal" that allowed the Remnant to fall back and build up their forces.

18:52 DaemonFC; Palpatine didn't really care much what happened to the First Order either way.

18:54 DaemonFC; You notice that they were a relatively small Navy compared to his Final Order fleet that he constructed at Exegol, and none of the First Order ships had planet killer weapons. The Star Destroyers at Exegol all had a planet killer weapon, which was probably also a "one shot kill" weapon for engaging in ship-to-ship combat. The whole First Order thing was just a ruse.

18:54 DaemonFC; With or without them or Starkiller Base, Palpatine would have brought the fleet from Exegol to war with the Republic eventually.

18:56 DaemonFC; Upon finding out about Palpatine, it would have been more logical for Kylo Ren to bring the First Order fleet to Exegol while the Advanced Star Destroyer fleet was still unable to take off, and start a bombardment. One thing about Palpy.....You're not just going to kill him and take his fleet.

18:56 DaemonFC; So the option remaining would be to wipe it out and start a surface bombardment while he's still too weak to do anything.

18:58 DaemonFC; That would have left this movie series open to more sequels.

18:58 DaemonFC; Disney seems to like money, which is why they put out all of these movies that are increasingly pointless/bad/poorly directed.

19:00 DaemonFC; MinceR, I think I could have written a better script.

19:01 MinceR; many people would have

19:01 DaemonFC; New Republic: Destroyed / Snoke: Dead / Palpy: Blown up.

19:01 DaemonFC; The Sith "Rule of Two" is that the apprentice craves power and the best way to go about that would be to kill Palpatine and his loyalists.

19:01 DaemonFC; The First Order already had a big enough fleet and the Republic was gone.

19:02 DaemonFC; In time they could have just subjugated everyone else due to the power vacuum and having the largest remaining Navy in the galaxy.

19:03 DaemonFC; MinceR, DJ: "They blow you up today, you blow them up tomorrow. It's just business."

19:03 DaemonFC; I read that as Disney sort of insulting the audience for paying to see all of these movies.

19:04 DaemonFC; Nothing gets resolved. There's always "enough" of the Rebel Alliance or the Empire or whatever left to do another movie.

19:07 DaemonFC; This ends up being how the US and Russia "fight" each other. Both sides could destroy each other, so they don't go to war. They can't go to war. They just wait until the other one gets ambitious and goes to war somewhere else, and then props up the other side of the war.

19:07 DaemonFC; We blow you up today, you blow us up tomorrow.
