04:43 psydruid; this is not on any of my computers but on my mum's laptop I've created accounts from some of her grandchildren including one for my nephew
04:43 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: how so?
04:44 DaemonFC; The Project to create DirectX was to wipe out the Japanese from the market, so they called it "The Manhattan Project" and gave it a radiation symbol.
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; you mean, "not japan"?
04:44 psydruid; and there I've installed Steam and Lutris
04:44 DaemonFC; DirectX was always going to be in a game console in the end.
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; with DRM
04:45 DaemonFC; Yeah, Bill Gates had his "thoughts on the future" of course.
04:45 DaemonFC; Where "in the future" you would just license and download "content" and it would be locked to that particular machine.
04:45 schestowitz[TR]; did he finishh college?
04:45 DaemonFC; The XBOX One.
04:45 schestowitz[TR]; did "mom" help him achieve this goal?
04:45 DaemonFC; The only reason the XBOX and XBOX 360 didn't do that much is because the storage wasn't there.
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; bill is the maxwell (maiden name) that did not have sex with jeffrey epstein
04:46 DaemonFC; They depended on DVDs, even when this was comically insufficient for the XBOX 360 era and they had to downres games and cut content from the game that was in the PS3 version.
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; i see
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; well, anyway, all consoles suck
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; even steam deck

04:49 DaemonFC; If they do that, it would mean no more Nintendo.
04:49 schestowitz[TR]; there was one regular here in irc from microsoft uk
04:50 DaemonFC; So Microsoft is cutting into the "Super Mario" of XBOX, the Halo stuff.
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; he worked for some gaming studio
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; taken by microsoft
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; of course microsoft shut them down
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; something called lion or brave heart something
04:50 DaemonFC; If you're cutting into Halo, it means you no longer think the XBOX Division is worth it.
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; you would know which ine..
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; *one
04:51 DaemonFC; These are First Party games that they dump a lot of money into to convince people to buy the console.
04:51 schestowitz[TR]; or sonic for sega
04:51 DaemonFC; Then they branch out and buy third party once they own the thing.
04:51 DaemonFC; Yeah, it's just not good business to be cutting into your First Party stuff.
04:51 DaemonFC; You want a strong franchise that never gets releases for anything else that forces people to decide, and they choose yours.
04:52 DaemonFC; Nintendo does AAA First Party stuff and they do it so well that their customers don't even care that they're always #3 in hardware by speed, graphics, RAM sizes.
04:52 DaemonFC; You see Nintendo and you know you're getting strong First Party titles that nobody else has.
04:52 DaemonFC; You don't really stare at specifications.
04:53 DaemonFC; Microsoft turned it into a dick measuring contest, and they're losing it badly.
04:53 DaemonFC; After 8 failed consoles from Microsoft, I sold it on Craigslist.
04:53 DaemonFC; And I've only had a Nintendo ever since.
04:53 psydruid; Microsoft has made it even easier by moving to an x86 PC based platform that you can emulate or rather virtualise on any modern general-purpose x86 computer
04:54 DaemonFC; The XBOX is expensive, it's fucking crap, the DRM situation is horrid.
04:54 psydruid; so there is little reason to ever buy an Xbox anymore
04:54 DaemonFC; You know, the Switch is a good console. It's very easy to use.
04:54 DaemonFC; It has a lot of good games.
04:54 DaemonFC; It's not insanely expensive.
04:54 DaemonFC; It doesn't use a lot of power (it's portable too).
04:55 DaemonFC; It doesn't sit there and cook itself to death.
04:55 schestowitz[TR]; psydruid: remember the wsl shill here in irc?
04:55 schestowitz[TR]; forgot his name

04:56 DaemonFC; You can't just sit there throwing money at something.
04:57 psydruid; but he deserved to for writing crap here during his "holidays"
04:57 DaemonFC; You have to have engineers that understand what they're building. You have to have artists, level designers, people who understand gameplay mechanics.
04:57 DaemonFC; The XBOX Hardware is just insanely bad. Nobody sat there and said "These are the games we want to do, and we'll build the machine from there.".
04:58 DaemonFC; THey just get on the horn with Intel and AMD and say "Send us some PC shit.".
04:58 schestowitz[TR]; at one point he created his own company and iirc distro for wsl

04:59 DaemonFC; XBOX failing all by itself will be a massive black eye for Microsoft.
04:59 psydruid; if they hadn't done it they would have been wiped from the consumer gaming market by now
04:59 schestowitz[TR]; they don't tolerate working for windows pushers
05:00 DaemonFC; I think what we're going to witness is a "strategic retreat" from money losers.
05:00 DaemonFC; And most of that is in the consumer sector.
05:00 DaemonFC; At some point you'll hear that the XBOX is unsupported and there is no replacement and everyone there is fired.
05:01 psydruid; and that would have signalled the beginning of the end of Microsoft in the general consumer market

The MBTA prohibits pursuing, taking, killing, possessing, selling, and transporting migratory birds unless done in strict compliance with federal bird law."
06:36 DaemonFC; "Dont let the name of the law confuse you, though. A bird doesnt actually need to be migratory to be on the list of migratory birds. (See, for example, Fig. 2-1.) Even when scientists havent quite figured out if a particular bird migrates or not, chances are good that its still on the list. So, yes, it really is a federal crime to kill a mockingbird."
06:37 DaemonFC; "Say, for example, youve attained streak-free plate glass windows and an egret happens to meet its abrupt demise flying into one of them. Are you a federal criminal? The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit once held that it would offend reason and common sense to convict someone for that kind of bird death. Still, the court held that [s]uch situations properly can be left to the sound discretion of prosecutors
06:38 DaemonFC; and the courts.2 In other words, you can be federally charged with causing a bird death even if your only weapon is a bottle of glass cleaner, but you should just trust that prosecutors will use appropriate discretion in deciding whether to indict you or not."

07:18 DaemonFC; Step 4: Wait for a decision. By law, the regional migratory bird permit office will not issue a permit unless the director determines that your removal of the eagle is compatible with the preservation of the bald or golden eagle. If the director decides the eagle is better off living with you for a while, move on to Step 5.

07:21 DaemonFC; But none of that is realistic. If you try to remove an eagle from your house, its totally going to attack you. (See Fig. 2-15.)

08:20 DaemonFC; At trial, the government called a professional numismatist as an expert witness to weigh in on the similarities between the Liberty Dollars and genuine U.S. coins. He noted the use of reeded edges, a serif font, phrases like In God We Trust, and the word Liberty were all attributes shared by the coins.
08:20 DaemonFC; Also important was the Liberty Dollars use of the Statue of Liberty on one of its sides. That iconic symbol of liberty, coupled with the other factors the government numismatist identified, were sufficient for a finding that von NotHaus had made coins with sufficient similitude to authentic U.S. coins. The jury found von NotHaus guilty on all counts of the indictment."
08:21 DaemonFC; I remember "Liberty Dollar" commercials on TV. I thought that guy is going to be so fucked when the government figures out a way to deal with him.

08:32 DaemonFC; "One of the reasons that our prisons arent yet full of food criminals is that the FDA and USDA like to handle things their own way. Violations of food regulations are often addressed out of court by a strongly worded letter to the food maker telling them to get their act together or else. In late 2017 a Massachusetts bakery learned this the hard way after it had the temerity to list love as an ingredient in its granola bars. Th
08:32 DaemonFC; e FDA sent the bakery a letter warning that Love is not a common or usual name of an ingredient, and is considered to be intervening material because it is not part of the common or usual name of the ingredient. According to the FDA, this rendered the granola bars misbranded under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and subjected the bakery to sanctions. The FDA stopped short of noting that listing love as an ing
08:32 DaemonFC; redient could also be charged as a federal crime.7
08:32 DaemonFC; The moral of the story, of course, is that if youre going to make your food with love, the FDA wants you to please just shut up about it. And if love is a euphemism for some other ingredient, youd better tell us what it is right now.
08:32 DaemonFC; Yet, even if the FDAs granola letter demonstrated its deep disdain for love, another of its warning letters revealed that the agency might actually have a soft spot, and that soft spot is mayonnaise. In mid-2015 the FDA issued a warning to a company for selling vegan mayo. According to the FDA, it was necessarily misbranded because real mayonnaise contains eggs, and vegan mayonnaise is made out of whatever the heck vegan mayonnai
08:32 DaemonFC; se is made out of. In a heartwarming twist, however, the FDA and the mayo company later announced that they had met to discuss the issues cited in the warning letter and worked together to address them.8"

08:57 DaemonFC; For those of us refined enough to know when and where to use ketchup properly, there is some good news: federal regulations classify ketchup as a vegetable. That makes it a lot easier to justify a pile of french fries as a healthy choice.
08:57 DaemonFC; Although federal law may not regulate the appropriate uses of ketchup, it does regulate its consistency. Specifically, 21 C.F.R. 155.194 provides that ketchup may not flow at a rate faster than 14 centimeters in 30 seconds at 20C, as measured by a Bostwick Consistometer. (See Fig. 4-12.) Any faster and it fails to meet the standard of identity for ketchup, making it a misbranded food under 21 U.S.C. 343(h). Thus, while y
08:57 DaemonFC; ou may break your hand trying to get it out of the bottle, at least you can know your thick ketchup is legal.
08:57 DaemonFC; For the offender who respects precision, federal law provides a detailed road map for measuring and perfecting the ideal level of ketchup runniness.

09:29 DaemonFC; The FDA publishes a list of defect action levels, which establishes just how much filth the FDA will let slide in raw food products.15 For example, canned or frozen asparagus can contain an average of forty thrips per 100 grams of asparagus before the FDA will consider it adulterated.

11:46 schestowitz[TR]; wikipedia also OMITS many things that bare true
11:46 schestowitz[TR]; so they make criminals seem like decentg people

21:32 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR]: I think you're confused about how the technical committee works
21:32 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR]: Nobody could "put" me there. I nominated myself and the board chose to elect me.
21:33 mjg59_; Er, s/board/committee
21:39 DaemonFC; You mean the hacks and cronies that were already there.
21:39 DaemonFC; Like how Mitch Daniels appointed the board of Purdue, then they appointed him after he left the Governor's office.
21:39 DaemonFC; Then once he was at Purdue, there was a banned book list.
21:40 DaemonFC; Eventually, things got so bad that Indiana University filed to get out of IUPUI and IPFW because they had a reputation to maintain.
21:41 DaemonFC; You mean they put you on Debian because of a similar arrangement and bad things will come of it and the idea is that you and the other trolls will finish Debian off and remove a threat to Microsoft.
21:41 DaemonFC; You already had most of your work done for you I suppose.
21:41 DaemonFC; It doesn't seem like they actually know what they're doing with packaging and integration. If anything, it's gotten worse.
21:42 DaemonFC; The Debian/Ubuntu world is sort of dead already as far as where the community is off to.
21:43 DaemonFC; It happened for a lot of reasons inclusing woke-ism, but mostly because of the breakdown in technical quality.
21:43 DaemonFC; If the worst thing going on with a software project is trannies with blue hair raging about microaggressions on a Web site, well, you can just not go to that Web site presuming the software works.
21:44 DaemonFC; So there's more to this, like Firefox, than that.
21:44 DaemonFC; The technical superiority is gone. It's gone from meritocracy with ideals to a kakistokracy with Matt GULAG.
21:45 DaemonFC; If the worst thing about Firefox was the "political party" problem at Mozilla, well, don't go there except to the download page, maybe.
21:45 DaemonFC; But Mozilla is malware that is barely even Web compatible.
21:45 DaemonFC; So why use it?
21:46 DaemonFC; The biggest ways the "Web platform" changes in Firefox is when they blind-copy stuff out of Chromium and change some lines to shim it up to Firefox.
21:46 DaemonFC; Gecko development hardly even happens anymore.
21:46 DaemonFC; They have enough people to cargo cult Chrome (barely) and plug CVEs.
21:47 DaemonFC; I think there are probably more people taskes with adding and maintaining the malware in Firefox than there are Firefox itself.
21:47 DaemonFC; *tasked
21:49 DaemonFC; When malware was a new concept and was relatively primitive, I took the initiative in helping devise solutions to get it off of people's computers or to render it inoperable.
21:49 DaemonFC; At first, the malware authors primarily took advantage of the fact that most people didn't know anything about computers, much less why their Windows machine was popping up porn sites and hijacking their Web browser.
21:50 DaemonFC; So it was crude, bundled with something, and didn't really anticipate the user taking steps to get rid of it.
21:51 DaemonFC; Eventually "fighting back" against programs to remove it was a priority, because enough people were affected that there was a cottage industry for removal software for it.
21:51 DaemonFC; I'm primarily not talking about viruses because anti-virus software had been around for years.
21:51 DaemonFC; Today, Firefox is malware. It's built right into the binary, and you can't call it Firefox if you remove it.
21:52 DaemonFC; When you type anything into the address bar, Firefox sends it to three places. Google, Mozilla Pocket, and an "advertising partner" that runs "Suggest".
21:52 DaemonFC; So it's a keylogger transmitting to at least three organizations.
21:53 DaemonFC; Sarbanes-Oxley requires them to not throw anything away.
21:53 DaemonFC; So if you start typing in "the wrong thing" into Firefox, well, they know you did it, and it's there forever, and not one, not two, but three companies can be hit by a warrant.
21:54 DaemonFC; But even if that doesn't happen, they're doing it to drive three separate ad systems too.
21:54 DaemonFC; And ads suck.
21:55 DaemonFC; They create a profile of your computer and how you use Firefox. How many tabs do you use? What times of the day are you opening it? How long does it run per session? All kinds of stuff. And that gets assigned a GUID and associated with Firefox Account.
21:55 DaemonFC; Along with your entire browser history and all of your bookmarks and passwords. And they can decrypt them.
21:56 DaemonFC; Again, Sarbanes-Oxley.
21:56 DaemonFC; The only thing that happens when you press delete is that you lose your copy.
21:56 DaemonFC; Don't you love California?
21:57 DaemonFC; mjg59_, Debian is not Free Software.
21:57 DaemonFC; They don't even pretend to be anymore.
21:57 DaemonFC; But even if they were, it's not good. They don't set anything up properly.
21:58 DaemonFC; It's an integration mess. The whole thing is a rats nest of software in configurations it was not designed to work in.
21:58 DaemonFC; A 14 year old could set up Gentoo better than this.
21:58 DaemonFC; Are you going to fix any of that or are you just going to scream about who needs to be canceled?
22:00 DaemonFC; I think you're just going to bring toxicity and drama while the technical problems get worse.
22:01 DaemonFC; Most of the "Linux" complaints I've seen from people tend to center on something I've only ever witnessed Debian or Ubuntu doing.

22:05 DaemonFC; "Daily builds for the upcoming Ubuntu 23.04 release also comes with a brand-new installer built using Flutter to Canonicals exacting needs. But guess what the new Ubuntu installer does not include? An option to install Ubuntu on the ZFS file system."
22:05 DaemonFC; ZSys hasn't been touched since around April 2021 and the installer for their next LTS doesn't even permit new installations on ZFS.

22:09 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:09 DaemonFC; What went wrong with ZFS on Ubuntu?
22:09 DaemonFC; Simply (in no particular order):
22:09 DaemonFC; Canonical got quack legal advice that it was lawful to combine two incompatible licenses.
22:09 DaemonFC; The upstream Linux kernel disavowed it and removed deprecated kernel features that ended up crippling ZFS performance.
22:09 DaemonFC; It doesn't fit most use cases very well, it loses data without non-default debugging options, and it was overdesigned by Sun.
22:09 DaemonFC; BtrFS got massively better lately.
22:09 DaemonFC; Canonical lacks engineering experience of this caliber.
22:11 phanes; mjg59_, right and you just so happened to take the spot left by someone behind a smear campaign and harassment mob targeted at RMS using the same tactics and strategy youve used against every person youve ever targeted
22:12 phanes; mjg59_, is that a coincidence or are you just banking on no one realiing that?
22:14 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:14 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:14 DaemonFC; I've maintained a heavily modified variant of some Linux distributions for my own use, and on my worst day, I never hacked anything together as badly as Canonical does, even though I never released it for anyone else.
22:14 DaemonFC; If I did something and ran into a bug and I didn't understand quite what went wrong, I'd stop, investigate, and back it out because I didn't want my own data to get corrupted.
22:14 DaemonFC; Ubuntu has very low standards. They pour a lot of money into suboptimal solutions just to throw away.
22:14 mjg59_; phanes: Elana retired from the committee last July, and a replacement (not me) was appointed then
22:15 phanes; mjg59_, so was it a lie or the truth when you said that she invited you to the committee she sat on
22:16 mjg59_; phanes: Elana suggested I nominate myself. That's not the same as "Being invited to the committee"
22:17 phanes; mjg59_, how would you characterize your relationship with elana hashman?
22:17 mjg59_; phanes: Someone I've met a few times
22:17 mjg59_; Although probably not since 2017?
22:18 phanes; mjg59_, that may be, but why would she suggest you to replace her knowing your shared history of defamation and cyberlynching participation
22:18 mjg59_; phanes: How would you characterise your relationship with Jerry Thibodeau?
22:18 phanes; i dont know why you think that tactic either disarms or distracts me
22:19 phanes; you act like you're the first cyclops ive thrown a rock at
22:19 phanes; all i really want to know is why she would get you on that board if not to continue her legacy of cyberlynching behaviours

22:20 mjg59_; She did not "get me on that board"
22:20 *phanes chuckles
22:20 mjg59_; The existing committee members chose to elect me to the board
22:20 mjg59_; She did not participate in that vote
22:20 mjg59_; If you want to ask them why they voted for me, I guess ask them?
22:20 phanes; why would that be a factor ona boar hallmarked by nepotism
22:21 phanes; *on a board hallmarked by nepotism
22:23 phanes; it would be an extremely unlikely coincidence that one of the most visible participants in corporate-sponsored lynching attacks on the open source community would "recommend" someone who has spent their career doing the same while contributing material that threatens the entire f/oss ecosystem and have the board "elect" that person based on anything other than that shared legacy
22:24 phanes; mjg59_, so instead of pretending that people who criticise you are "confused" idiots, why don't you use your big boy words and explain the real link
22:24 mjg59_; Perhaps your model of how other people work is incorrect
22:25 phanes; what a coward
22:25 mjg59_; Hard to explain a link that doesn't exist outside your conspiracy theories
22:25 phanes; now you're using an associative label to discredit the obvious link
22:26 phanes; by calling it a "conspiracy theory" you try to attribute it the fallacies of debunked unrelated alt culture
22:26 phanes; these tricks do not work on someone like me
22:26 phanes; you must learn this
22:26 mjg59_; You're literally alleging a conspiracy here
22:27 phanes; anything involving more than one person, good or bad, is a conspiracy
22:27 mjg59_; Right
22:27 phanes; definitionally
22:27 phanes; but
22:27 phanes; that's not the color of the word you're using
22:27 phanes; and we all know about your reliance on false light
22:27 mjg59_; People may interpret it as they choose
22:27 phanes; so let's cut through the kid shit and talk about what happened there
22:28 phanes; yes, false light is a form of dishonesty
22:28 phanes; i realize this is a deeply engrained part of your personality but i make no allowance
22:28 mjg59_; It was suggested that I nominate myself for the technical committee, and I did so. The existing members (who, at that point, did not include Elana) voted to appoint me. That's the whole story. Sorry.
22:29 mjg59_; If Elana had some sort of magical backchannel power to convince the other members to vote for me, that's not something I have any insight into
22:29 mjg59_; If there's a plot here, I'm an unaware participant being used by others
22:30 phanes; side chats are not magical, and are regular on most committees and groups of decision makers, like boards
22:30 phanes; there you are using another associative label to discredit
22:30 mjg59_; But, being unaware, I can't provide any insight into anything other than what I've provided
22:30 mjg59_; If you want to know why people voted for me, ask them
22:30 mjg59_; (I mean ideally don't because you'll be wasting their time, but)
22:30 phanes; i think it's rather obvious given your history and given the history of the person who recommended you
22:31 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:31 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:31 DaemonFC; Red Hat is still promoting and funding work on XFS for some reason, and hey, I guess it works.
22:31 DaemonFC; I used it for a long time before switching to BtrFS finally.
22:31 DaemonFC; I appreciate that when I'm running into a problem with Linux (rarely), I can join an IRC room and speak directly to the engineers about what's going on instead of Windows, where it's someone in another country making pennies asking if I reset the computer or a forum where the solution is penis enlargement pills.
22:31 mjg59_; If the Debian technical committee wants to elect members who you describe as serial defamers, why do you think they'd tell me that?
22:31 phanes; DaemonFC, what's wrong with XFS? I've found it to be quite reliable.
22:32 phanes; mjg59_, why would they need to?
22:32 mjg59_; Well, you keep asking me questions
22:32 phanes; mjg59_, yes, i do, and you keep evading them
22:33 mjg59_; I am unaware of any effort by the Debian technical committee to retain membership by people who you'd describe as serial defamers
22:33 phanes; at any rate, that arrogance of yours is proving very useful
22:34 phanes; as long as you think im some dumb conspiracy theorist ill continue to gain an inch a year
22:35 DaemonFC; BtrFS's support for Compress with ZStd makes it more optimal for flash storage.
22:35 DaemonFC; Avoiding write operations which wear SSDs down quicker.
22:35 mjg59_; Given we're about 2000 miles apart, I'm ok with an inch a year
22:36 phanes; mjg59_, what i would suggest instead of practicing evasions and witty fortune cookie one-liners on irc is that you dedicate your remaining years of work to healing the damage you've caused to others
22:37 phanes; instead of trying to trip people up with definitional challenges to undermine criticism you should be healing the conditions which result in your criticism
22:38 DaemonFC; Avoiding unnecessary SSD writes is a good idea.
22:39 phanes; mjg59_, ill finish off my rant with this: simply stopping is not enough.
22:39 mjg59_; Thank
22:39 mjg59_; s
22:40 DaemonFC; Although, SSDs have gotten more reliable.
22:40 DaemonFC; I got my first one like 10 years ago. It cost a fair bit and there wasn't much room on it.
22:45 DaemonFC; The whole notion of ZFS on Linux has been insane.
22:45 DaemonFC; Who cares if the US government is funding it. That doesn't make it legal. Have you ever tried suing the federal government.
22:45 DaemonFC; Good luck with that.
22:49 phanes; people are constantly suing the federal government and winning
22:49 phanes; its part of how our system works

22:57 DaemonFC; That would be like saying I got caught speeding, so they give mjg59_ the ticket.
22:57 phanes; DaemonFC, it happens everyday all over the country. Laws are constantly overturned and municipalities sanctioned as a result when overreach is determined.
22:57 DaemonFC; I mean, that'll sure teach me not to speed.
22:57 DaemonFC; That's how police brutality lawsuits against the city work.
22:58 phanes; yeah i mean, state courts often make rulings they know are unconstitutional to push a case to a higher court
22:58 DaemonFC; FROM NOW ON, WHENEVER PRIVATE PYLE FUCKS UP, HE WILL NOT BE PUNISHED! INSTEAD ALL OF YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!

23:00 DaemonFC; The drill sergeant couldn't beat "Pyle" up, so he got everyone else good and pissed by making them do pushups while he had to stand there and eat the donut.
23:00 phanes; may need to hold out for the gender-swapped version with mandatory alt-lifestyle characters, at least 3 furries
23:01 DaemonFC; Then they filled pillowcases with bars of soap that night and beat the shit out of him.
23:01 DaemonFC; See, it worked.
23:01 DaemonFC; Motivation.
23:01 DaemonFC; Of course, he caused Pyle to have a mental breakdown and kill him.
23:01 DaemonFC; So there was that.
23:01 DaemonFC; You don't send a message by punishing someone for their bad behavior.
23:02 DaemonFC; You send a message by punishing someone else. Someone they care about. You horrify them. You traumatize them. You make them live with it forever.
23:02 DaemonFC; But you don't touch a hair on their head.
23:02 DaemonFC; See, if I was a mobster and wanted to send a lesson or something, that's exactly how I'd operate.
23:03 phanes; i would struggle with the moral disposition of collateral damage
23:03 DaemonFC; If you kill a person, their suffering is over.
23:03 DaemonFC; If you put out the hit on their children, they suffer.
23:04 DaemonFC; If you want them to suffer, you don't hurt them at all.
23:04 DaemonFC; You send your thugs and wait until their kids are out playing in the yard, and well.
23:04 phanes; when it comes to war, both sides' moral position are critical factors
23:05 phanes; if you compromise yours by deed, you give the enemy an advantage
23:05 DaemonFC; We know Gus Fring in Breaking Bad will order the murder of a child.
23:05 DaemonFC; He did it once.
23:05 phanes; if they compromise yours by lies, they've taken that advantage but assumed a risk for later
23:05 DaemonFC; So when he threatened Walter "I will kill you. I will kill your wife. I will kill your son. I will kill your infant daughter.".
23:05 DaemonFC; He meant it.
23:06 phanes; DaemonFC, when i talk about them assuming a risk for later that's an important distinction too, because it becomes useful later while building them up on a false platform that can be destroyed later
23:06 DaemonFC; Walter's death made sense in that context.
23:06 DaemonFC; Walter was a danger to Gus in many ways.
23:09 phanes; yeah but that's a movie character
23:09 DaemonFC; Sure.
23:09 phanes; and they're meth dealers / cartel mobsters
23:09 phanes; they're not fighting a war with winners and losers they're running a criminal enterprise
23:09 DaemonFC; Most people are motivated by avoiding punishment.
23:09 DaemonFC; Including me.
23:10 DaemonFC; Obviously, like everyone else, my sense of morality doesn't quite line up with the law, but the threat of punishment keeps me in line.
23:10 DaemonFC; Well, every normal person.
23:10 phanes; that's why the law is there
23:11 phanes; there are many morally justifiable things in life that are prevented by the law
23:11 phanes; even if there weren't, most people don't have a developed moral compass
23:12 phanes; it would be impossible for them to navigate
23:12 phanes; so, the law is necessary
23:16 immibis; DaemonFC: the government losing a suit is a punishment in the sense that the department was given a certain amount of money, and now it doesn't get to use all of that money. Remember, corporations also steal your money, so by your logic we shouldn't sue them either
23:16 MinceR; the TC elects whomever their bosses at ibm tell them to

23:23 DaemonFC; They can do it by promoting "economic development" which raises rent until the "undesirables" are gone.
23:23 DaemonFC; If you can't afford an apartment in the neighborhood, the law can say you can live there if you want to and the White people don't have to worry much.
