00:36 matey; if capitalism wants everyone sucking dicks for starbucks while getting ubi (not that im against ubi)
00:36 matey; then everyone (more or less) is going to be on their knees getting extra foam for their crappucino while getting ubi
00:37 matey; of course, thats exactly why you want baristas to unionise
00:37 matey; its one small step for baristas...

01:32 matey; yes, thats a double standard. wait, no its not! see how that works?
01:33 *psydruid wonders if that football mate was Ruud van Nistelrooy
01:33 matey; you have a double standard, and i have a double standard, but theres a nuance
01:33 matey; Ruud van Nistelrooy <- this sounds like its from a dutch...
01:33 matey; independent film.
01:34 matey; <schestowitz[TR]> they don't have a petition fopr bil <- its like the difference between murdering a person and murdering hundreds of thousands of people.
01:35 matey; if you murder someone, you might get probation. if you murder a few people, you might get death
01:35 matey; if you murder 200 people you get a medal, and if you murder hundreds of thousands, you get re-elected.
01:37 MinceR; if you murder millions, you are worshipped
01:37 matey; bill gates could run through town setting peoples houses on fire and the media would say it was a charity event.
01:37 matey; if you murder millions, you are worshipped <- fair point

02:39 matey; he probably never got into the nitty gritty of 501c3 shit
02:39 matey; im not saying he should have (per se)
02:39 matey; instead he entrusted other people with that. almost anyone would.
02:40 matey; there are poeple who understand causes
02:40 matey; he was one of them
02:40 matey; there are people who understand orgs
02:40 matey; stallman, im sure, was NOT one of them
02:40 matey; he always had other people doing that
02:40 matey; compromise THOSE people, the org dies
02:40 matey; but-- in "fairness"
02:40 matey; THOSE people have the job of focusing on the 501c3-ish-ness
02:40 matey; and what im saying is
02:41 matey; its the 501c3-ishness itself that is bullshit
02:41 matey; sooner or later, your 501c3 will do this
02:41 matey; become a magnet for corporations that your cause rubs up against (usually in a chafing way)
02:41 matey; who then start using money as lubricant
02:41 matey; who know how to keep an org off their backs
02:41 matey; that happened to the fsf
02:41 matey; it compromised the org
02:42 matey; stallman probably didnt know, and he wasnt in any position to do anything
02:42 matey; so the people he entrusted EITHER betrayed him, let him down without being at fault, or a mix of both
02:42 matey; but again: it was BOUND to happen eventually
02:42 matey; this changes none of what ive said about open source
02:42 matey; they had a mission to do this

02:46 matey; what should have happened, years ago
02:46 TR Bot; Novell Was an Early FSF Sponsor and Patron the Year It Sold Out to Microsoft | Techrights
02:46 matey; was people getting ready for this with the writing on the wall
02:46 matey; and bolstering the movement
02:46 matey; instead, they bolstered the corporations
02:46 matey; like fighting fire with petrol.
02:47 matey; people will still move away from the corruption and rebuild free software
02:48 matey; now it will take a decade plus longer to do it
02:48 matey; far more will be lost, on a scale it takes people years to fathom and they still dont get it
02:48 matey; and all in all it will hurt a lot more this way
02:48 matey; but it will still get done
02:48 matey; its too bad more people didnt start thinking about this years ago
02:49 matey; but make no mistake, some did
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; Ariadne: some more tables at the TM DB are failing, we need to move to the new CMS soon to avoid data loss
02:49 matey; you know we used to believe fsf would give a shit about systemd
02:49 matey; a LONG LONG time ago
02:49 matey; thats when we found out what stallman really thinks about unix
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; Red Hat was a sponsor
02:49 matey; the design
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; he focused on the licence
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; not the design
02:50 matey; Red Hat was a sponsor <- thats like saying mlk jr was a sponsor of the civil rights movement
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; but the designed he copied was unix
02:50 matey; they were a little bit more than a sponsor
02:50 matey; but the designed he copied was unix <- and we mistook that for appreciation
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; it was more convenient tro replace existing tools or impmentations
02:50 matey; really, he was very open about the fact that he used it just because it made his job easy
02:51 matey; we projected an ideal of portability and making forking / freedom 3 easier
02:51 matey; we imagined an ally in that
02:51 matey; he never was. and he doesnt have to be, but that means freedom 3 would suffer like it does today
02:51 matey; it was a flaw in his philosophy
02:51 matey; he didnt realise that the 4 freedoms were supported by DE FACTO things
02:52 matey; he just thought "lets prop up these very good things"
02:52 matey; over the years, gnu gutted these de facto supports for the 4 freedoms
02:52 matey; above all, freedom 4-- the freedom to remove the software
02:52 matey; without that, its nothing but a set of free shackles, with the HYPOTHETICAL freedom to change the shackle
02:52 matey; thats what systemd is
02:52 matey; and stallman remains clueless about it
02:53 matey; you just cant tell him
02:53 matey; same problem with freedom threats moving from sw to hw
02:53 matey; he doesnt get it
02:53 schestowitz[TR]; he does
02:53 matey; and you can try to find a way for him to get it for YEARS
02:53 matey; and he deosnt
02:53 schestowitz[TR]; but he feels poweless against it
02:53 schestowitz[TR]; except they speak out
02:53 schestowitz[TR]; e.f. DBD
02:53 matey; <schestowitz[TR]> he does <- youve flat out made things up about this.
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; they did speak about the hardware side issue
02:54 matey; DBD <- dbd is an exception
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; that's why they demand no blogs like firmware
02:54 matey; in general he does not get hardware threats.
02:54 schestowitz[TR]; brb
02:54 matey; drm is an exception, but drm can be a software thing too
02:54 matey; to him it doesnt matter-- drm is drm
02:55 matey; at any rate if you talk to the hardware people
02:55 matey; youll see what he doesnt get
02:55 matey; you cant really determine what he doesnt get by staring at the things he does.
02:55 matey; unless theyre really the same thing (but of course, theyre not)

03:17 matey; that trick has a place. (this isnt it)
03:17 matey; ive used that trick many times, and it goes like this:
03:17 matey; 1. we can see whats happening NOW
03:18 matey; 2. but the public has an institutional inertia that keeps them seeing what HAPPENED for some time
03:18 matey; so you phrase things that are happening now as "will happen"
03:18 matey; to make them think about the PRESENT, despite the fact that their past NEGATES (overrides) any awareness of the present.
03:19 matey; moving it to the future (note: theres an entire genre that works this way-- called sci-fi) gives people a new way to look at whats happening.
03:20 matey; theres a famous quote about "the future is already here" that begs people to do this.
03:20 matey; its relevant
03:20 matey; but heres the thing
03:20 matey; when the fsf has been doing this for the better part of a decade
03:20 matey; or more than a decade

03:21 matey; Novell gave money to the FSF and yet the FSF immediately spoke out against Novells deal; but such conflicts of interest did occasionally cause trouble and, charting Linux Foundation territories/waters, this can lead to trouble.
03:21 matey; you almost admit it:
03:22 matey; " did occasionally cause trouble" | "can lead to trouble."
03:22 matey; but there it is: youre going backwards, from "here is a crisis" to "this COULD become a crisis"
03:22 matey; if you go in that direction, youre not warning people: youre admitting it then backpedalling
03:22 matey; youre downplaying.
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; not sure if fsf banished novell after that
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; see the wayback machine
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; fro 2007
03:23 matey; politicians do it: admit the problem, then after admitting it, they sort of slowly back away from it
03:23 matey; this has to stop (i know it wont, just saying) if the real purpose is to warn the others.

03:27 matey; theres something wrong with it you cant fix
03:27 matey; the industry is in charge of who can cancel whom
03:27 matey; youre not on the list.
03:27 matey; you cant cancel anyone
03:28 matey; so if you report these scandals, its almost like (and uim being deliberately cynical here, which doesnt mean its untrue)
03:28 matey; "the evidence is inadmissible"
03:28 matey; if youre a cop and you break into someones home in the usa
03:28 matey; and you have no warrant
03:28 matey; theres a risk (it doesnt always work out this way of course) that the evidence will be ignored-- by constitutional law
03:29 matey; it can be literally right there on the table where the jury can see it
03:29 matey; theyre not allowed to take it into account
03:29 matey; because youre not on the list of people who can cancel people
03:29 matey; a list which naturally, doesnt exist in any concrete sense-- its arbitrary, but youre DEFINITELY not on it
03:30 matey; anything you say about these people is inadmissible
03:30 matey; it doesnt apply
03:30 matey; and more to the point, it wont be taken into account.
03:30 matey; of course some of us dont care about that
03:30 matey; but we are also the ones who are already anti-github so it doesnt sway us either.
03:30 matey; we dont go "well shit, now we REALLY hate github"
03:30 matey; it was already crap
03:31 matey; people are reading that story for entertainment purposes only.
03:31 matey; theyre not making decisions based on it
03:31 matey; because thats not how it works.
03:31 matey; of course you should publish it anyway, because you want to.
03:32 matey; what you shouldnt ever do is be surprised when it has no effect on github at all
03:32 matey; youre not on the list, it doesnt matter what you say about the people involved.
03:32 matey; you cant get on the list
03:32 matey; its invitation only
03:32 matey; you wont be invited-- youre not their type at all.

03:33 matey; but it wont change github.
03:33 matey; its the same with bill gates, only moreso
03:34 matey; someday this will change
03:34 matey; but not before the whole goddamned thing is overhauled
03:34 matey; which will happen
03:35 matey; bill gates can do whatever he pleases, calling him out just moves people from the list of those who can call people out to the list of those whose opinions are not admissible
03:36 matey; at least as far as media goes
03:36 matey; as far as industry goes
03:36 matey; wherever industry touches
03:36 matey; it wont count.

06:20 DaemonFC; Why? Well, the Democrats don't want to say water is a human right.
06:20 DaemonFC; They keep jacking up the cost of water. It has nothing to do with the cost of providing water anymore.
06:21 DaemonFC; They just raise it every year so they can waste the money on themselves, the public union crooks digging up roads that have nothing wrong with them, and the teachers that keep putting out the dumbest adults ever.
06:21 DaemonFC; Roughly in that order.
06:21 DaemonFC; If the Democrats declare water to be a human right, it would obligate them to provide some water to people so they don't die of thirst.

13:13 DaemonFC; The more limiting the console the more of a challenge it is to produce something on it, and oddly that increases the incentive to make good games for the thing. Now that resources are billions of times what they were in the 80s or 90s you mostly get games that suck.
13:13 DaemonFC; Microsoft bought out Bethesda which had a few good franchises.
13:13 DaemonFC; They set out to ruin even games that had already been released.
13:13 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], First there was that content mill that they had where they discourage free modding in favor of DRM'd paid mods.
13:14 DaemonFC; Then they seem to sabotage total conversion mods.
13:14 DaemonFC; They got rid of a major expansion to Fallout: New Vegas by infiltrating it and putting in like "sex pervert" stuff so that they could defame the project.
13:15 DaemonFC; Right? Then they are dismantling a big mod for Fallout 4 by hiring the people who are working on it so that there's not enough manpower for it to continue.

13:16 DaemonFC; They do fear the community because the community is making more compelling "content" for the official games that they want mothballed or turned into their own cash cow.
13:17 DaemonFC; They bought the Fallout and Skyrim franchises at a time when they had modding kits, and so they're trying to sabotage that, and then trust me, if they release anything post-buyout, it won't have a modding kit. Or if it does, it will be tied to their DRM store or something.

13:31 DaemonFC; There are lots of costs of allowing Microsoft to operate this way.
13:32 DaemonFC; By destroying innovative companies and running them out of business, usually buying them out or badly cloning their products, the cost to society is much more than some stolen taxpayer money.
13:32 DaemonFC; It's the fact that Microsoft stopped innovative smaller companies from continuing to produce new things.
13:34 DaemonFC; It's like the cost to society of murdering someone is more than just "one person does not exist anymore". They orphan some kids, they don't go to work and make things that improves lives. All of their hopes and dreams are gone.
13:34 DaemonFC; Microsoft murders innovative companies.
13:35 DaemonFC; The only way to stop that is for regulators to wake up and stop them from buying up anything else.

14:55 MinceR; for example, it can fail to land when it's supposed to

15:38 psydruid; someone is arguing with me because I consider Dino the XMPP client typical GNOME bloatware and I said "Dino should go extinct"
15:39 bnchs; gajim looks like discord
15:40 psydruid; response: "Dino has a/v support for both linux and the windows fork. Which is something that gajim hasn't fully implemented yet. As well as gajim's a/v implementation is still unencrypted. Also groupcalls work on dino. And why do you think dino bloated eventhough it is almost as simplistic as it can get."
15:40 bnchs; profanity or psi is probably the only good XMPP client
15:40 bnchs; the problem is that those don't support enough features
15:40 psydruid; response: "They both have their pro's and con's but to say that dino is terrible and that it should go extinct is not really based on a well build argument."
15:41 psydruid; these people don't realize bloatware when it hits them in the face
15:41 MinceR; maybe they like bloatware
15:41 MinceR; i liked bitlbee, but even that couldn't fix xmpp's fake distributedness and unreliability
15:55 matey; maybe they like bloatware <- bloatware cant be (and never is) sustained
15:55 matey; bloatware is abandonware, shortly before being abandoned
15:56 matey; this is why gnu will fail
15:56 matey; bloat is relative of course-- people know that but they cant always articulate it
15:57 matey; once anything reaches a threshold where nearly anyone would prefer to write something else than fork it (even if they need it for something)
15:57 MinceR; humanity is also unsustainable
15:57 matey; anything past that is bloat, which isnt to say it cant exist prior to that point
15:58 matey; of course it doesnt have to be bloat, you have to rule out shit design too
15:58 matey; people will abandon a shit design whether its bloated or not
15:58 matey; corporations attack projects with bloat to sink them
15:59 matey; libreoffice is being destroyed as we speak
15:59 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
15:59 matey; systemd destroyed countless distros
15:59 matey; bloat is a disease
15:59 matey; also a weaponised disease against free software
16:00 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights
16:00 matey; i was content to help people install-- and to myself use gnome 2
16:00 matey; thats pretty bloated
16:00 matey; but it worked well enough on old stuff
16:01 matey; if you want faster, install lxde
16:01 matey; if you want instantaneous, use icewm
16:01 matey; but everything else got ridiculous-- lxde went on a qt adventure that left its future in question
16:02 matey; i dont like lxqt at all-- i tried razor-qt first then lxqt, waiting patiently (years) for it to not suck
16:02 matey; i dont even like xfce anymore, just because theyve done too many things that remind me why i dont like big des
16:03 matey; before you can use it you have to find all the stupid things it does and turn them off
16:03 matey; or uninstall components, delete binaries, whatever
16:04 matey; someone i know who codes in c kept having some crap pop up with xfce
16:04 matey; getting in their way
16:04 matey; we could have found it and fixed it
16:04 matey; we dont need shit like that, the gui doesnt need to be so fucking helpful
16:04 matey; the more it tries, the less helpful it is
16:05 matey; xfce is gnomes bitch anyway
16:05 matey; wasnt always, is now
16:06 matey; but before all this stuff went to hell, i had gotten tired of bothering with anything more than icewm
16:06 matey; sane defaults. works with everything. no resource hogging. only does stuff when you want it to.
16:06 matey; oh, github
16:06 matey; okay, dwm then.
16:07 matey; if someone forks icewm theyll probably add a bunch of annoying shit to it.
16:07 matey; no one wants to just maintain software
16:07 MinceR; does icewm need to be changed anymore?
16:07 matey; NO
16:07 matey; and if they do, they should call it something else
16:08 MinceR; then just keep a mirror/copy of it off shithub
16:08 matey; that works for individuals
16:08 matey; but its like what happened to kabbalah
16:09 MinceR; kabbalah is not useful, afaict
16:09 matey; regardless
16:09 matey; it used to be taught more casually
16:09 matey; in the 1600s a lot of people got swept up in it as a craze
16:09 matey; there were loads of false messiah movements
16:10 matey; so the rabbis banned teaching it to anyone except men who were over 40
16:10 matey; and not long after it just disappeared
16:10 matey; kabbalah helps explain a number of jewish rituals
16:11 matey; without it, a lot of people just do things by rote, and dont know or care why
16:11 matey; doing things without knowing why other than "god said" is even less healthy than having a rich tapestry of symbolism behind "god said"
16:12 matey; it only becomes more rigid and pointless
16:12 matey; but the point of course, is that if icewm only exists on github and local mirrors
16:12 matey; that helps very few people-- it doesnt provide an alternative to the github version for most people
16:12 MinceR; was there ever a true messiah?
16:13 matey; not according to judaism
16:15 matey; but its not unfair to call a short-lived charlatan-led "movement" with little more to it than following the grateful dead on tour a "false messiah movement"
16:15 bnchs; wtf was the point of systemd
16:15 matey; giving ibm control of userspace
16:15 matey; microsoft controls the kernel
16:16 bnchs; here's the joke
16:16 matey; systemd is a cuckold operating system
16:16 bnchs; openrc existed before systemd
16:16 matey; mmhmm
16:16 bnchs; look at which init system is the most used now
16:16 matey; which is it
16:16 bnchs; i don't know
16:17 matey; i assume its systemd, at least in the gnu/linux world
16:17 matey; if you include bsd i dont know either
16:17 matey; probably systemd
16:17 matey; because there are more gnu/linux installs (unless there arent)
16:17 MinceR; it's probably the custom thing android comes with
16:17 matey; ^ yeah
16:17 matey; i bet we dont count that, just because
16:17 MinceR; which looks more like a scripting language than a service manager
16:17 matey; about zero people modify the setup
16:18 matey; which looks more like a scripting language <- lennart to the rescue!
16:18 matey; maybe he will go work for google now :)
16:18 MinceR; lol
16:18 MinceR; i guess eventually it would be the next logical step in ruining android
16:19 matey; i consider android 99% useless
16:19 psydruid; androidd
16:19 matey; im probably being generous
16:19 psydruid; android cuckold
16:19 matey; its worth noting that the more they integrate shit into systemd
16:19 matey; the more it looks like android
16:19 MinceR; it's still not as bad as systemd/Linux
16:20 matey; no i think android is worse, believe it or not
16:20 MinceR; _()_/
16:20 MinceR; android is still closer to unix than systemd ever was
16:20 matey; its just that systemd is completely unacceptable
16:20 matey; and android is even worse than that
16:20 matey; android is still closer to unix than systemd ever was <- not in any way that means anything to me as a user though
16:21 matey; its all locked down
16:21 matey; flatpak is an android simulator
16:21 matey; not for apps, i mean it simulates the design
16:21 matey; locked down, blob-based
16:22 matey; you delete something windows wants to keep, it restores it-- fuck you
16:22 matey; flatpak and android take similar attitudes towards the owner of the device
16:22 matey; but slightly different approaches
16:23 MinceR; AOSP is less locked down and it's still android
16:23 matey; yeah
16:23 matey; the design still sucks though
16:24 MinceR; and the design of systemd sucks harder
16:24 matey; thats probably true
16:24 matey; but my point was
16:24 matey; the more systemd takes over, the more android-like it becomes
16:25 matey; and that says a lot about both imo
16:25 matey; im certain that by the time systemd becomes ibm android
16:25 matey; it will be even shittier than google android
16:26 matey; i dont think the people who designed android were idiots
16:26 matey; i seem to recall that like youtube, google didnt develop android originally-- purchased?
16:26 matey; the people who designed systemd are idiots.

16:30 matey; if you do it just right and try for long enough it might work
16:32 matey; in fairness to search engines though
16:32 matey; the web used to be less of a giant pile of shit
16:32 matey; so you know, it IS more work than ever before to find those lovely kernels of corn
16:33 matey; im not saying that corruption and bullshit algorithms dont play a major role
16:33 matey; these factors work together to create a truly bullshit web

16:39 matey; i think warez attracts two groups of people
16:39 matey; 1. people who do it because fuck the system / information wants to be free / im cool because i removed copy protection scheme
16:40 matey; 2. people who have an insatiable appetite for new stuff to play
16:40 MinceR; 3. people who can't afford to pay for software licenses
16:40 matey; sure, thats fair
16:40 matey; but for the few things i needed that i couldnt afford
16:41 MinceR; 4. people who can afford to pay but have no access to the payment method (though this is probably less of a thing now)
16:41 matey; i just copied that (without a network) from something i borroed
16:41 matey; so like i had one copy of windows...
16:42 matey; and one key
16:42 matey; i would actually obtain new (legit) keys about as often as i would use my install media
16:42 matey; i wasnt trying to, it just happened
16:43 matey; i wasnt really interested in microsoft office
16:44 matey; until mozilla became a thing, i would install netscape from a cd that i got from my isp
16:44 matey; i had dialup, so i didnt want to download it
16:46 matey; by the time i knew what free/open was, i mostly wanted stuff that was free to copy, at the very lease
16:46 matey; least
16:46 matey; because i liked the idea of software you could legally share
16:47 matey; so even though i was using windows still, i was replacing every tiny bit of it i could with something non-microsoft
16:48 matey; the shell, the browser, the file manager, i called the internet dialer from the command line tool that sys-internals made
16:48 matey; as much of it as possible was non-microsoft
16:48 matey; thanks to fucking github im doing it again in 2020-something
16:49 matey; and yes, sys-internals got bought by microsoft
16:50 matey; just like the linux kernel
16:50 matey; ill be thrilled when these companies finally die, but it wont be half as soon as roy says
16:51 matey; or has said
16:51 matey; if i wanted microsoft to control my computing, id just use windows

18:12 matey; local mirrors are definitely a good first step away from github
18:13 matey; ideally they would also be mirrored somewhere public so more people benefit
18:13 MinceR; if i had infinite storage and bandwidth, i'd set up an automatic shithub mirroring service
18:13 matey; even if you mirrored the few things you actually gave a shit about
18:14 matey; and more people did that, it would be huge
18:14 matey; imo the best way (certainly not the only way) to do a mirror is via tor hidden service
18:15 matey; its easy to setup, ssl is built in, no lf/le certs, no dns monopolies
18:15 matey; drawbacks of tor are obvious
18:16 matey; and its certainly not the only way. but it works around a BUNCH of issues with hosting
18:16 matey; as for the fugly urls... i mean theyre a feature
18:17 *bnchs has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
18:17 matey; tor is one of the few traitorous projects i get behind (under protest of course)
18:18 matey; i also recommend people keep using gnupg :/
18:18 matey; i like tor a lot more
18:18 matey; i see tor as the most legit alternative to mozilla, along several axes
18:19 matey; but a fork of tor would be better, and the browser is optional
18:19 matey; tor at least has their own repo, so tor browser isnt technically github based
18:19 matey; but obviously the language its written in (like most) would be github based
18:19 MinceR; what about i2p and gnunet
18:20 matey; gnunet i have no faith in because its gnu and because theyre trying to square a circle in typical this-will-never-be-ready-ever fashion
18:20 matey; but if i have to eat those words i would be more than happy to do so
18:20 matey; in 2045
18:21 matey; i think its fun to see it race against reactos
18:21 matey; but really, this is hopefully one im wrong about
18:21 matey; if i thought i was wrong id say so, but either way, that would be lovely

21:38 DaemonFC; Having brake issues with the car again.
21:38 DaemonFC; Christ.
21:38 DaemonFC; I just redid the brakes. What the hell is happening with that thing?
21:38 DaemonFC; It's under warranty. I'm going to have them look at it again.
21:39 DaemonFC; I call it the "farting brake pedal".
21:39 DaemonFC; Because sometimes it makes a "farting" noise and the pedal pulses a little, and then it's fine again for a while.
21:40 DaemonFC; It was doing it almost every single time I stopped when I took it in for new wheel bearings, brake pads, and rotors, back in April.
21:40 DaemonFC; I have not seen anything weird going on with the rotors.
21:40 DaemonFC; I inspected them when I got home. Took it through the car was and had it flush everything out really good.
21:40 DaemonFC; I had a bird strike this morning taking Mandy to work.
21:41 DaemonFC; A bird flew in front of the car, swooped down and I felt it in the steering wheel when I hit it going about 40 or 45 miles per hour.
21:41 DaemonFC; It felt like it bounced off the bumper or something, but it may have gone under the car.
21:42 DaemonFC; I went to the car wash in case there were bird bits or something stuck in the wheel well somewhere that I couldn't see.
21:42 DaemonFC; The thing was fucking huge.
21:43 DaemonFC; I ran it back on my dashcam and it captured the strike.
21:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Reminds me of Married With Children.

21:45 DaemonFC; You had to watch through the series to notice that something bad was always happening to Steve's Mercedes.
21:47 DaemonFC; Just off the top of my head there were the pigeons, Al backing into it and leaving a note "Next time buy an American car!", Marcy driving it in defiance of Steve telling her to leave her hands off of it, and scraping the side on the mailbox (iirc), and finally, they go camping and a bear attacks it and rips it apart and tosses Steve the hood ornament, and he's in shock going "$26,000!!!!". (Which bought a Mercedes in 1985, of course. Now you
21:47 DaemonFC; can barely get a KIA for that.)
21:48 DaemonFC; The US government says the value of $1 when I was born in 1984 is now something like 42 cents. Something like that. Which doesn't sound so bad.
21:49 schestowitz[TR]; hi
21:49 DaemonFC; Until you consider that if you adjust it for rent, it's about 19 cents. If you adjust it for food, it's about 24 cents, and if you adjust it for a comparable size, brand, and quality of car, it's about 25 cents or so.
21:50 DaemonFC; If you adjust it for gas, you're at about 16 cents.

21:53 DaemonFC; About the only things that have gone down in actual or inflation adjusted terms are consumer crap that you really don't need, such as television sets, or things that people don't want anymore and can't command the price they had as a luxury item, like a stereo system and the CDs it can play.
21:57 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Sweatshops.
21:57 DaemonFC; The people who voted for Ross Perot were really onto something.
21:58 DaemonFC; Shame he didn't win.
21:58 DaemonFC; I think he really would have terminated NAFTA before things could ever get this bad.
21:59 DaemonFC; We already had the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement, and that didn't turn us into a "free trade zone" with a third world country where the money would flow in one direction and sweatshop goods would pour back in.
22:00 DaemonFC; When you throw in Mexico, I mean... It didn't make Mexico much better.
22:00 DaemonFC; There's a few really rich Mexicans that run the sweatshops.
22:00 DaemonFC; Some got bad jobs in factories. It ruined Mexico's agriculture and banking sectors.
22:00 DaemonFC; The US banks and corn and stuff started flowing in, which made the drug problem worse.
22:01 DaemonFC; Without food crops to grow legitimately to meet domestic needs, the farmers in Mexico turned to things like Marijuana.
22:02 DaemonFC; The government in Mexico is too weak and corrupt to deal with the drug trade. At the local level, the cartels run everything. They're so well armed that the military can't even move in and restore law and order.
22:02 DaemonFC; So it's at a standstill, and by standstill, that means ongoing bloodbath.
22:03 schestowitz[TR]; brb
22:03 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: you highlight me with walls of text
22:03 schestowitz[TR]; anb it seems off-topic anyway
22:03 DaemonFC; The "Free Trade Agreements" benefit Microsoft, GAFAM really.
22:04 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
22:04 schestowitz[TR]; not just fake "tech" companues
22:04 schestowitz[TR]; pantagonware
22:04 schestowitz[TR]; but other sectors too
22:04 DaemonFC; It makes it hard to establish domestic tech and software industries because you agree to the deals, you agree to the patents.
22:04 schestowitz[TR]; it's just codifying what ensures the rich get richer
22:04 schestowitz[TR]; they don't need to "succeed"
22:04 schestowitz[TR]; they just rig the game
22:04 schestowitz[TR]; they control everytthing
22:04 schestowitz[TR]; even the elections
22:05 DaemonFC; These deals have created a perverse bizarro world where most Americans have a third world standard of living while everyone else hates us because they assume we can seize control via an election or something and put the train back on the tracks.
22:05 DaemonFC; Saying you hate Americans is like saying you hate Russians, blanket statement.
22:06 DaemonFC; Most of them couldn't get rid of Putin if they wanted to.

22:07 schestowitz[TR]; USians are sometimes distrusted because of perceievd arrogance
22:08 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I'm writing an article about Walmart and canned meat shortages.
22:08 DaemonFC; How they use the websites and apps to control people, hide shortage issues until you try to order something, and charge more if you go into their store.
22:09 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> USians are sometimes distrusted because of perceievd arrogance
22:09 DaemonFC; I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm any more or less arrogant than the average person I've encountered in Western Europe.
22:10 DaemonFC; Most of them think their country that has had the shit taxed out of it while they stand in 6 year lines to get surgery from "free healthcare" and they're overrun by crime is the pinnacle of civilization.
22:10 DaemonFC; I'm on here every day saying I hate Illinois.
22:10 schestowitz[TR]; IL
22:10 schestowitz[TR]; they should add a second L
22:11 DaemonFC; Well, it's a postal thing you know, like IN for Indiana, WI for Wisconsin, IA for Iowa.
22:12 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The funny thing is when we do our taxes and either owe or get a refund from the Illinois Department of Revenue....
22:12 DaemonFC; The bank says "State of ILL".
22:12 DaemonFC; On the statement it says "State of ILL" and then the amount going out or coming in.
22:12 schestowitz[TR]; ouch
22:13 schestowitz[TR]; "give me your ill"
22:13 DaemonFC; It's a very ILL state.
22:13 *swaggboi has quit (Read error: Connection timed out)
22:14 DaemonFC; The rest of the state isn't much like Chicago at all, but it has too much political power, and most of the people there forget about the rest of the state entirely.
22:14 DaemonFC; It's dysfunctional.
22:14 *swaggboi (~swaggboi@slackware.uk/supporter/swaggboi) has joined #techrights
22:14 DaemonFC; It's like most states, you know. There's almost half the population that has no representation at all and can only complain about how fucked up everyone else made things.
22:15 DaemonFC; Most of the laws here are botched attempts to solve some ridiculous problem Chicago is having.
22:15 DaemonFC; Like the FOID Act, which didn't help anyone in Highland Park. 70-80 people shot every day in Chicago itself.
22:15 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> "give me your ill"
22:16 DaemonFC; The state is being taken over by immigrants who don't realize that the place is messed up and corrupt as fuck because they're from somewhere much worse so they don't see what the problem is.
22:16 DaemonFC; Like the Philippines.

22:17 *betsy (~igloo@d9tvs44uyg5y6.irc) has joined #techrights
22:18 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I put in a couple of orders for canned luncheon meat at Walmart to wipe out the shelf of the store brand for Less Sodium and LITE.
22:18 DaemonFC; They're starting to have severe in stock problems.
22:18 DaemonFC; So I'm just going to buy all I can get of it when it is there and put it under the bed. No it's not a Madame Harmon thing. It stays good for 10 years and we eat quite a bit of it.
22:19 DaemonFC; They raised the price of the name brand significantly, but not the store brand oddly enough. So there used to be a relatively small difference, and now it's huge.
22:20 DaemonFC; $1.98 a can vs. $3.12, and now the name brand is $3.58 a can.
22:20 DaemonFC; They turned something we used to laugh at into something that's actually really really expensive.
22:21 DaemonFC; You used to look at SPAM as "thrifty" right? Because it was an example of industrial-scale problem solving for the agricultural industry. We'd pass out millions and millions of cans of it to prevent people from starving.
22:21 *betsy has quit (connection closed)
22:22 DaemonFC; Just the way it's processed, it says "Use by 2033" or something on the can and to be honest if you store it right, it's probably safe for at least a couple more years after that.
22:22 schestowitz[TR]; 2033?
22:22 DaemonFC; YEAH!
22:22 schestowitz[TR]; might indicate they put nasty things in them
22:22 DaemonFC; It's really not.
22:22 schestowitz[TR]; like intesticides [sic]
22:22 DaemonFC; It's basically ham and pork. They salt it and then vacuum seal the can and cook it inside the can.
22:22 *betsy (~igloo@d9tvs44uyg5y6.irc) has joined #techrights
22:23 schestowitz[TR]; a lot of that food as chemicals bad for the gut
22:23 DaemonFC; It's completely sterile inside the can and then there's salt, so yeah.
22:23 schestowitz[TR]; I only leanred after I had had canned food for ages
22:23 DaemonFC; It's pretty simple stuff that stays good indefinitely.
22:23 schestowitz[TR]; I forgot the key component in preservatives, not salt
22:23 DaemonFC; Like if you absolutely HAD to, you could probably crack open a can of SPAM and eat it 20 or 25 years from now.
22:24 DaemonFC; More, even. Nobody really knows.
22:24 *betsy has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com)
22:24 DaemonFC; It's not like food preservation like this is new. There's a guy on YouTube that eats old military rations that were packed for World War II and stuff.
22:24 DaemonFC; Including the meat.
22:25 DaemonFC; He unpacked some vacuum packed cigarettes in a tin can that were part of a British military ration from World War II and smoked them.
22:25 DaemonFC; They were still fine.

22:27 DaemonFC; Today, you can't do that even if it's an outdoor hot tub.
22:28 DaemonFC; We used to go on vacation to the Adam's Mark Hotel in Indianapolis, and stay there for like a week, and they hosted a science fiction convention dad would go to.
22:28 DaemonFC; The hotel was really so classy that I can't imagine how they got a sci-fi convention there where a bunch of weirdos showed up.
22:29 DaemonFC; They got kicked out of the hotel a few times.
22:29 DaemonFC; Weird stuff would go on, like one year a woman was having sex with a bunch of men in the hot tub.
22:30 DaemonFC; Eventually, they just told the convention it would be the last year they were allowed to book the hotel.
22:30 DaemonFC; But the entire hotel chain went under eventually.
