I agree that, having viewed how they operate their network, this is a distinct possibility. Since changing DNS servers on the phone doesn't fix

12:54 DaemonFC; It's pretty clear that apps will give them the ability to MITM encrypted HTTP connections and cover it up.
12:55 DaemonFC; The system has its own SSL certificates and the carrier is also in position to inject their own, which everything on the phone that uses that store, including Google "services" and apps from it will then trust.
12:56 DaemonFC; It's not that the government needs it. I mean, they can go to Facebook or Google or Instagram, but they prefer your carrier being in a centralized position to spy on you and amass data in one place.

13:02 DaemonFC; Like they'll bring Trump back so that Biden can run wall to wall attack ads about him delaying weapons shipments to Ukraine to pressure them into investigating his political rivals?
13:03 DaemonFC; The Democrats lost in 2004 because they tried finding a Democrat who wouldn't change anything much from the way Bush was handling things.
13:03 DaemonFC; Millions of people didn't see any point in voting because there was Bush and a clone of Bush.
13:04 DaemonFC; You typically prop up some back bencher to say you tried and then go after the office again when it's empty.

13:18 DaemonFC; They didn't mention not to put gas in the tank after the pump clicks off.
13:18 DaemonFC; You can do it, but the recovery system puts the gas back in the station's tank to prevent a spill.
13:18 DaemonFC; So you just bought another 0.2 gallons or something, paid for it, and the station took it back.
13:18 DaemonFC; At these prices, that wastes 80 or 90 cents and gives the station their gas back.
13:19 DaemonFC; And it can ruin the charcoal vapor canister, which is about a $400 repair and you can't pass emissions without it working properly.
13:19 DaemonFC; The vapor recovery system has to be working or else your check engine light will come on.

14:19 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, I was talking on WGN.
14:19 DaemonFC; About the Basic Income in Chicago.
14:20 DaemonFC; I openly wondered how many white families who qualify based on income will actually get any of that or if it's all just some pot for Lori and Toni to buy votes with.
14:21 DaemonFC; It seems the government here only comes to white people to do a stick up so it has more money to buy votes with.

14:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz, The upside with the backbone provider pullout from Russia is it will be easier to DDoS their major websites.
14:31 DaemonFC; Bringing down the sites of their major banks makes it harder to transact with them even for their citizens or people not sanctioned or who violate sanctions.

14:39 schestowitz-TR2; XRevan86: I cannot read that
14:41 psydroid2; from page 7 it's in English
14:42 DaemonFC; https://wgntv.com/news/better-com-employees-learn-of-mass-layoffs-when-severance-checks-arrive-early/
14:42 TR Bot; Better.com employees learn of mass layoffs when severance checks arrive early | WGN-TV
14:42 DaemonFC; The company whose CEO laid off 900 people over Zoon last year accidentally sent severance checks out early this week.
14:42 psydroid2; and from page 12 in French
14:42 DaemonFC; Alerting the next group they were being fired.
14:42 DaemonFC; "Online mortgage lender Better.com told media outlets Tuesday that the company will be laying off about a third of its employees. The mass layoffs will include roughly 3,000 employees in the United States and India, TechCrunch reported."
14:43 DaemonFC; Yeah, "there's never been a better time for a home loan!".
14:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, ^
14:44 DaemonFC; "In that e-mail to employees, Ryan wrote that the company had to adjust to volatility in the interest rate environment and refinancing market."
14:44 DaemonFC; Yeah, nobody is refinancing right now unless they need money badly.
14:44 DaemonFC; Speaking of MARISOL....
14:44 DaemonFC; :)
14:45 DaemonFC; "The company has raised just over $900 million since its 2016 inception, $500 million of which came from SoftBank in an April 2021 round that valued Better.com at $6 billion."
14:45 DaemonFC; Softbank invests into a lot of bad businesses.
14:45 DaemonFC; They got lucky when T-Mobile took Sprint off their hands.
14:46 DaemonFC; Sprint had been making bad business decisions for years. Including investing in the wrong technologies and buying entire carriers to shut them down when they were already badly in debt themselves.
14:46 DaemonFC; So T-Mobile has some customers who were originally with Nextel and then got bought up by Sprint.
14:47 DaemonFC; That's what this is. Instead of competing, they just buy each other up. Not for the business, but so they buy and sell you.
14:49 schestowitz-TR2; debt offloading
14:49 schestowitz-TR2; shell game?
14:49 schestowitz-TR2; throw it into the bankruptcy

15:04 DaemonFC; debt offloading
15:04 DaemonFC; Exactly.
15:05 DaemonFC; T-Mobile basically acquired Sprint by acquiring their debt, and not a whole lot more than that.
15:05 DaemonFC; Softbank was their biggest creditor and had been effectively running Sprint as debtor-in-possession, without having taken them to bankruptcy court.
15:05 DaemonFC; The whole notion goes we won't put you in bankruptcy as long as you do what we say.
15:05 schestowitz-TR2; "throw it into this pot"
15:05 schestowitz-TR2; -IBM
15:05 schestowitz-TR2; -Microsoft
15:05 schestowitz-TR2; buy some company
15:05 schestowitz-TR2; or:
15:06 schestowitz-TR2; form a new company
15:06 DaemonFC; Yeah, creditors can file an involuntary bankruptcy against you.
15:06 schestowitz-TR2; throw toxic assets into it, let it fail
15:06 DaemonFC; But it's usually no good for anyone.
15:06 schestowitz-TR2; maybe it'll even be bailed out
15:06 DaemonFC; Sprint didn't have many assets, but it had a lot of debt.
15:06 schestowitz-TR2; then go RHR RAH to the investors
15:06 schestowitz-TR2; "shareholders, our expenses have been reduced!!"
15:06 DaemonFC; A discharge would have gotten rid of the entire company, most likely, and Softbank would have been reduced to taking pennies on the dollar when the assets got sold off or disposed of.
15:07 DaemonFC; This way, Softbank operated them as Sprint and kept trying to get them taken over by someone else.

15:07 schestowitz-TR2; yeah
15:07 schestowitz-TR2; activelow: we need topics
15:07 schestowitz-TR2; for both articles and videos
15:08 schestowitz-TR2; the war is taking up tons of attention away from anything else
15:08 activelow; energy distribution grids, which i think, it is preferrable to distribute electrical energy to households, not gas
15:08 schestowitz; DaemonFC: we have a COVID surge again http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/
=> ↺ http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/
15:08 -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-schestowitz.com
15:09 activelow; you know why, gas distribution grids require a costly infrastructure, although electric cables already exist
15:09 activelow; i consider it such severe, the lowered efficiency of electrical distribution is almost marginal, in comparison
15:10 *inky has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
15:10 activelow; the big pipelines pose a huge political challange, see Ukraine and their pipeline and war
15:10 DaemonFC; You're funding Russia today so that their tanks that you bought them can roll over your borders eventually.
15:10 activelow; challenge
15:11 activelow; DaemonFC: I hope so
15:11 activelow; given the political and social instabilities here
15:11 DaemonFC; You think it would be better under Putin?
15:11 activelow; DaemonFC: yes.
15:12 activelow; although this isn't that high of a bar, in germany
15:12 activelow; yet, the closest political associate in Germany, AfD political party, is now subject to secret surveillance, of the criminals ruling in Germany
15:13 activelow; anyway, CH4-electricity conversion has a lower efficiency, nonetheless electric heating is efficient
15:13 DaemonFC; " Beyond this, we should abolish felony disenfranchisement it is an injustice, and when combined with systemic racism that puts lots of blacks in jail, results in disenfranchising a substantial fraction of blacks." Richard Stallman
15:13 activelow; and the distribution grid into households is both costly, and poses an enormous political challenge, to social stability and such
15:13 DaemonFC; Well, I'd like to ask Stallman why he thinks that guy who tried to fake a back injury after a 3 mph collision should get to vote again in Wisconsin.
15:13 activelow; which is reason enough, to leave, wherever such is present, currently
15:13 DaemonFC; He was convicted of child sexual abuse and bail jumping.
15:13 DaemonFC; Now Stallman wants him to vote again.
15:14 DaemonFC; Then when the guy was in prison for those felonies, he participated in a riot and attacked a jail guard and was sentenced again.
15:14 activelow; and recently, greens proposed to dump corrosive hydrogen into the pipelines, instead of CH4
15:15 DaemonFC; I spoke with the parole department in Wisconsin to let them know he was down here in Illinois and claiming he was hurt in a car accident.
15:15 DaemonFC; Now he's got a parole warrant out on him and he's hiding in Mississippi from it.
15:15 DaemonFC; Oddly, he didn't appear in court for my traffic ticket.
15:19 activelow; anyway, northstream1 and northstream2 were expensive, however, due to the "renewable" energy subsidy fraud electric heating was abandoned almost everywhere
15:19 activelow; instead, parallel infrastructure, besides electric cables, to distribute gas into households, was invested into, because carbon and blah and this and that
15:20 activelow; i suspect, the pipes alone outweigh any advantage of CH4 heating in comparison to electrical heating
15:20 activelow; however, since nuclear plants are scheduled for final shutdown, electricity production is even more challenging
15:21 activelow; instead of burning CH4 inside plants to produce electricity, and heat, CH4 is distributed into households
15:21 activelow; which is, insane, politically, and economically, insane
15:22 activelow; that's why, they, say, CH4 has a preferrable "carbon footprint", as if this could be quantified
15:23 activelow; another idea was, to combine electricity and heat production in power plants, because climate and blah, however then isolated pipes to distribute hot water was required, which again is far mor expensive than distributing electricity for electric heating
15:23 activelow; instead, due to the excessive subsidies which increased electrical energy costs, electric heating installations were removed in germany
15:24 activelow; installations, which were economically, ecologically, and too concerning operation safety, not as bad as "eco activists" imagined
15:24 activelow; however, since they said electric vehicles were desireable, the electricity wasn't available, because Tesla vehicles required the electric charge, produced from burning coal mostly, in germany
15:24 activelow; coal, which is, imported from, the evil russians
15:25 activelow; it's not like AfD wanted to cover their argument and secret, the criminal and corrupt regime in germany wants to silence them
15:26 DaemonFC; Google Play is down and nobody wants to admit whose fault it is, even though it only appears to happen on T-Mobile.
15:26 activelow; i'll not cover the details here, what the operational safety concerns would be, in comparison to electricity
15:27 DaemonFC; I noticed that no T-Mobile employee has commented on the thread about it, which is very unusual.
15:28 DaemonFC; schestowitz, I suppose it's possible that as T-Mobile is making these network changes, some automated DDoS prevention on Google's end might detect the network changes and block legitimate traffic.
15:28 activelow; i don't think it was "russians" who decided to distribute CH4 into households, CH4 transport is viable for big pipelines, imo
15:28 activelow; to burn it in electicity productin facilities, however, due to "carbon" blah, a theoretical ecological benefit, they decided to burn CH4 in households
15:29 activelow; which is, a theoretical benefit only
15:29 schestowitz; DaemonFC: draft?
15:29 activelow; in practice, it's a nightmare
15:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz, The Play Store seems to be working again on my phone.
15:30 DaemonFC; So that makes 11 days it was apparently not working right in the Chicago region, and I only noticed because some updates piled up without installing.
15:31 DaemonFC; I got my phone on the day people started reporting it happening and ran all the updates, and that's the last time I had checked.
15:32 DaemonFC; And it's down again.
15:32 activelow; particularly in cities, if they distribute CH4 with expensive pipes, they could have installed hot-water pipes with isolation too, and burned the CH4 in electricity/heat combined power plants
15:32 DaemonFC; LOL
15:32 activelow; furthermore, public transportation which requires electricity, has in fact a rather bad "carbon footprint"

15:40 activelow; you know why?
15:41 psydroid2; I saw trolleybuses in Lviv
15:41 activelow; because, the subsidy fraud, with "carbon certificates", Tesla acquired those by manufacturing ecological hazard verhicles
15:41 psydroid2; maybe also in Kaunas, I'm not sure
15:41 activelow; yes, electric trolleybuses, those are ecologically and economically slightly worse than Diesel engine Bus

15:51 activelow; in fact, i would rather pay 30cents/KWh electricity for hot water, and lower consumption, than living anywhere close nearby such a madhouse which is present day germany
15:52 bnchs; wait they distribute methane to households?
15:52 activelow; CH4 distribution, fine, yet not into households in urban regions, where this has practically zero economical and ecological benefit
15:52 activelow; bnchs: yes, 50% of all households already
15:53 activelow; i mean, CH4 ok, with pipelines routed into electricity/heat power plants, and then distribute hot water into households
15:53 activelow; becaues, if expensive pipes are required, they could have distributed hot water, not CH4 into households
15:54 bnchs; oh so gas distribution
15:54 bnchs; that seems very safe
15:54 activelow; Ukraine
15:54 bnchs; i mean it's gonna be a more bigger explosion than a gas tank

15:57 activelow; anyway, the biggest economical disadvantage is this: a parallel costly infrastructure is required, becaues electricity cables already exist
15:57 activelow; in parallel, expensive pipes are required
15:57 activelow; and, in urban regions, they could have distributed hot water directly
15:57 schestowitz-TR2; there are cheaper distribution means
15:57 activelow; that's the insanity, both economically and ecologically
15:57 schestowitz-TR2; than all these towers

16:00 bnchs; schestowitz-TR2, i'm pretty sure that how software distribution worked before the internet
16:00 schestowitz-TR2; worked better
16:00 bnchs; they shared a copy of the software in a floppy

17:54 psydroid2; XRevan86, I should know, since some of my native languages are in that language family
17:55 psydroid2; but in Hindi the Arabic word "dil" is used and I also know "qalb" also from Arabic used in Persian
17:56 XRevan86; psydroid2: Wiktionary says "dil" is a Persian word. Which would make it an I-E word.

18:07 XRevan86; psydroid2: But "" is practically Czecho-Slovak.
18:07 psydroid2; connecting it to "serda" (middle) as is roda (Polish) or sreda (Serbian) for Wednesday (the middle day of the week as in "Mittwoch")
18:07 psydroid2; yeah
18:08 psydroid2; I'd never really thought of it in that way
18:09 XRevan86; psydroid2: Of "sereda"?
18:10 psydroid2; XRevan86, the connection of "serdce" to "sereda", I suppose
18:10 XRevan86; psydroid2: Ah.
18:10 XRevan86; Also it means that the word for middle comes from the word for heart.
18:11 psydroid2; or the other way around?
18:11 activelow; Chart, Hart, Card/Kart
18:11 XRevan86; psydroid2: We know it's from *r
18:12 activelow; there's a gap to Herzel/Herkules
18:12 XRevan86; psydroid2: So it should be from heart to middle and not the other way around.
18:13 activelow; which is, in german language, Herz is a distinct term, from kard(map) or heart (hard, strong)
18:13 psydroid2; XRevan86, that's an interesting observation
18:13 psydroid2; it's fascinating how these things come about
18:13 XRevan86; psydroid2: Indeed. Not to activelow though :D

18:20 XRevan86; activelow: "Possibly from (tto, sun, day), which is an Anatolian loan-word, or from (titan, to stretch, to extend), from (ten), or from (tsis, retribution), from (tn, to pay a price as a penalty, expiate)"
18:20 activelow; XRevan86: wrong.
18:20 XRevan86; Oh dang.
18:20 XRevan86; activelow: Does it actually have something to do with tits?
18:21 schestowitz-TR2; tita is older person in tagaloig

18:21 schestowitz-TR2; like "madam"
18:21 activelow; somehow, yet the tit is somehwat specific, which bodypart it is

18:26 XRevan86; Tits?
18:26 activelow; i am sure, as a linguistic expert, you know already
18:26 XRevan86; Boobs, right?
18:26 schestowitz-TR2; Boob is short for Robert
18:26 activelow; if you can spell it in the original language, German, that's AAA+ then
18:27 XRevan86; No, I can only speak in lowly derived languages like English, Russian and Ukrainian.
18:27 activelow; KSE
18:28 activelow; the primordial slime, who would have thought, Titans knew already
18:28 XRevan86; The "ch" in "chaos" represents the /x/ sound, but who cares.
18:28 activelow; it's K as in K
18:29 XRevan86; activelow: Why is it spelt funny then?
18:29 activelow; because A isn't
18:30 XRevan86; (though in Ancient Greek it would be a "k" with aspiration, so I wasn't completely right there)
18:32 XRevan86; > Kse: (informal) nonsense
18:32 XRevan86; The more ye know.
18:33 activelow; the origin of the universe, melked from a cows tit, the Audhumbla, or Goat Heidrun
18:34 XRevan86; Kse's primary meaning is cheese, and the word is cognate with kvass, that's pretty interesting.

20:50 schestowitz-TR2; I'm sure salaries too skyrocket for mandy
20:51 DaemonFC; They gave Mandy a 2.1% raise this month.
20:51 DaemonFC; Then raised the price of food 15 times that percentage.
20:53 psydroid2; what is all this BS that is happening in the world about?
20:53 psydroid2; people being priced out of everything to make a living
20:54 psydroid2; and at the same time luxury goods are making more money for the rich than ever before
20:54 psydroid2; luxury goods like overpriced computers
21:00 DaemonFC; It's not normal for prices to go up this fast in America. In fact, it hasn't happened in my lifetime. You read about it happening in the 1970s, but things were different then. Wages kept up with it. Everyone was furious, but wages kept up.
21:01 DaemonFC; Plus, mom and dad were taking advantage of an elderly woman with dementia.
21:01 DaemonFC; The woman was renting out an apartment upstairs and she thought it was the 1950s, so it was like half of what it should have cost.
21:02 DaemonFC; The part that made them give up and move was that she finally got so bad that they carried around the lease with them to prove they lived there and she still stood there and argued with you for like an hour before she let you in.
21:02 DaemonFC; So when everyone else is paying like $150 for rent each month and you're paying less than half that, actually.
21:03 DaemonFC; I think she said $55 or something crazy like that, even for the 70s.
21:04 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, Writing about this.
21:04 DaemonFC; "My spouse, who is from the Philippines and is not used to living in a "normal" country with "real money" says "this just happens, even in the Philippines". It's not normal for prices to go up this fast in America. In fact, it hasn't happened in my lifetime. You read about it happening in the 1970s, but things were different then. Wages kept up with it. Everyone was furious, but wages kept up."
21:04 DaemonFC; "(I say the Philippine Peso isn't real money because it's not a world reserve currency. Even the British Pound is still like 2-3% or something in foreign reserves. And the Philippines government is notoriously corrupt on all levels. It's more like a token for exchanges that happen inside of a country. They can't transact in their own money internationally, and they pay a heavy price for that.)"

22:06 DaemonFC; I just checked the tire pressure on my car. The rear axle was a little lower than where I like to keep it.
22:06 DaemonFC; The oil change place seems to like to do 35 psi on the front and 30 on the back.
22:07 DaemonFC; I usually do 35 front and 33 on the back.
22:07 DaemonFC; For a slightly stiffer ride, it seems I gain a small increase in fuel economy this way.
22:10 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, If I wasn't married, I'd probably volunteer for the military, in Ukraine.
22:10 DaemonFC; They need anyone who can fight and they're offering citizenship now.
22:13 DaemonFC; Ukraine may fall apart, but the United States is falling apart too. Slower.
22:13 DaemonFC; No shit blowing up. Mainly because Putin can barely handle a war across a land border, much less the sea.
22:15 DaemonFC; I may have just gotten Mandy a front row seat on the Titanic, Titanic being the entire world right now.
22:16 DaemonFC; The Philippines will struggle more than we do.
22:16 DaemonFC; The world banking system is more or less dollar-denominated still.
22:16 DaemonFC; Nobody really needs the Peso or the economy of the Philippines for too much, except maybe T-Mobile call centers.
22:17 DaemonFC; It's hard to begrudge someone there who needs a job, so I'm not going to go "Dey took our jerbs! Derka Derr!".

23:07 DaemonFC; Target date funds are bullshit.
23:07 DaemonFC; One of the reasons why is they stick some of your money into high risk bonds that can't beat inflation even if everything goes perfectly.
23:08 DaemonFC; If you stuck your Walmart retirement in one of Bank of America's target funds, part of your recent losses would be taking a total loss on anything invested in Russia.

23:33 DaemonFC; If you did select "OpenVPN", then that's all implemented inside the app, outside of the kernel, and it has to do a lot of extra stuff, and there's overhead, and you're probably talking running down the battery 6-7% vs. baseline along with worse throughput on the network."
