05:39 TR News; How much of the media does Microsoft bribe ("tech" media and "general" media) to pretend "HEY HI" is new and revolutionary? How much per publisher? And when will the media admit Microsoft is in fact collapsing and laying off tens of thousands?
05:41 psydruid; Only when Microsoft truly becomes the new IBM
05:42 schestowitz[TR]; ibm is tyill around
05:42 schestowitz[TR]; ibm is another kind of nuisance
05:42 schestowitz[TR]; under palmisano it was friendly
05:42 schestowitz[TR]; virginia was sucking up to apple
05:42 schestowitz[TR]; and many at icbm use apple
05:43 schestowitz[TR]; for them, gnu/linux is "server something"
05:43 schestowitz[TR]; imho, software freedom on the client side is vastly more important than the server side
05:43 schestowitz[TR]; and i think rms would agree
05:43 schestowitz[TR]; i recently saw him accept duckduckgo
05:43 schestowitz[TR]; even if
05:43 schestowitz[TR]; -it's not privacy
05:43 schestowitz[TR]; -it's microsoft
05:44 schestowitz[TR]; -it's proprietary
05:44 schestowitz[TR]; he still uses this over tor
05:44 schestowitz[TR]; because... works without javascript
05:45 psydruid; IBM is barely relevant these days
05:45 schestowitz[TR]; so the way rms may be seeing it, it's ok to be brainwashed by microsoft and it's less bad than using some JS in SearX
05:45 schestowitz[TR]; psydruid: icbm has old governmenbrt conteacts
05:45 schestowitz[TR]; and cobol, POS
05:45 schestowitz[TR]; old things
05:46 psydruid; as long as governments remain attached to that software the company will get a revenue stream
05:46 schestowitz[TR]; they thought buying rhel to own it directly would help clown
05:46 schestowitz[TR]; but they are not relevant there
05:47 schestowitz[TR]; same for oracle
05:47 psydruid; but I don't see anything any other company couldn't do just as well
05:47 schestowitz[TR]; tbh, nowadays clown is becoming a squeeze
05:47 schestowitz[TR]; they push up prizing
05:47 schestowitz[TR]; pricing
05:47 schestowitz[TR]; some abandon it
05:47 schestowitz[TR]; hence aws and azure layoffs
05:48 MinceR; 26 064309 < schestowitz[TR]> for them, gnu/linux is "server something"
05:48 psydruid; who's going back to mainframes, though
05:48 MinceR; seems more like it's "the enemy" to them
05:49 MinceR; it's not MICROS~1, with which they're "stronger together"
05:49 MinceR; and it's not crApple, with whom they made an agreement to shill their products
05:49 MinceR; GNU/Linux used to be something that would and could resist their control, and did, for a while
05:50 MinceR; now it's just a handful of distributions trying to subsist on an increasingly ruined kernel
05:50 MinceR; 26 064340 < schestowitz[TR]> and i think rms would agree
05:50 MinceR; does rms still believe that "systemd is free software"?
05:50 schestowitz[TR]; "The cost of a basket of goods used to make the traditional English breakfast has surged to over 35 ($43) due to a lack of fresh vegetables in supermarkets and accelerating inflation, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.
05:50 schestowitz[TR]; workarounds exist
05:51 MinceR; 26 064830 < psydruid> who's going back to mainframes, though
05:51 MinceR; much of the industry
05:51 MinceR; though they like to call it "cloud" and "web"
05:51 schestowitz[TR]; MinceR: systemddg
05:51 schestowitz[TR]; search for rms
05:51 schestowitz[TR]; no JS
05:51 schestowitz[TR]; powered by Microsoft
05:51 schestowitz[TR]; hosted by Microsoft
05:51 schestowitz[TR]; informant to Microsoft
05:51 schestowitz[TR]; but no JS
05:52 schestowitz[TR]; so it's better than searX
05:53 MinceR; what happened to librex?
05:53 MinceR; i thought rms promoted it
05:53 TR News; "There's a recent post by Lesogorov about SystemD-free distros that's worth a read if this sort of thing interests you." gemini://gemini.hitchhiker-linux.org/gemlog/re_systemd-free.gmi

05:56 MinceR; and he isn't going to like what he gets from the cultists for spelling it "SystemD" either
05:56 schestowitz[TR]; MinceR: no
05:56 schestowitz[TR]; it's a response to it
05:56 schestowitz[TR]; a rebuttal
05:56 MinceR; ah, ok
05:56 TR News; "I've got Alpine in a VM for evaluation. I have to say, I'm totally impressed. I can see this replacing Arch as my development environment because it's actually up to date (Void lags just enough to annoy me) and it is also Musl libc based. There are a couple things I'm not entirely happy with though." gemini://gemini.hitchhiker-linux.org/gemlog/re_systemd-free.gmi

05:57 MinceR; (i know of librex because i've read rms' article on what he uses)
05:57 TR News; "This is not a great tendency. I'd point out that Unix was originally brought up in large part because Ken Thompson needed an OS to run his Space Travel video game on the PDP-7.

13:02 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Apartment buildings in Chicago tend to be in much better condition than in the burbs.
13:02 DaemonFC; Chicago has a comprehensive anti-slumlord statute and enforces it vigorously, and the fines and re-inspections add up faster than just fixing the damned thing.
13:02 DaemonFC; So problems with the building tend to not pile up like they do in the burbs.
13:04 DaemonFC; Landlords tend to be short-sighted with their investments.
13:05 DaemonFC; They tend to take out a loan that breaks them and then have no budget left to renovate like they should, and then they miss out on opportunities to attract a better clientele, and the building starts breaking down slowly because in the next month or two it's not going to fall into the ground on them.
13:05 DaemonFC; But then they go and sell it and they think that they'll make out like a gangster, and people show up to look and they see some of the problems that have piled up and infer that there's others that they can't see.
13:06 DaemonFC; They demand concessions or walk away, and you get stuck with an investment you can't sell for anything close than what you thought you could get liquid cash for.
13:08 DaemonFC; He's experiencing the same difficulties a homeowner does in a (a) down market with (b) a banking crisis unfolding and (c) a neighborhood that's below average and stable at best or poised to get worse at worst, and (d) dealing with higher than usual interest rates and tighter credit that put additional pressure on buyers to demand lower prices as compensation.
13:08 DaemonFC; There's a very big difference between a mortgage at 3 and 7% when you have to borrow well over $2 million dollars.
13:10 DaemonFC; It's likely that the three men that came through weren't all potential buyers.
13:10 DaemonFC; One or two were probably contractors that the potential buyer asked to tag along to make note of problems they will face and give them an estimate of fixing and updating things.
13:11 DaemonFC; If there's a way to make money on this, ever, I don't see it.
13:11 DaemonFC; Even if the landlord cut the price of the building by 40-50% it would be VERY hard in this market.
13:11 schestowitz[TR]; Utah has no particularly good reason to want to appease Facebook like California does. Facebook isn't bringing any money or jobs to Utah, so California has a reason to shield Facebook when they do nasty stuff.

13:12 DaemonFC; I don't see him coming down 40%.
13:12 DaemonFC; He'd sell it eventually if he did.
13:12 DaemonFC; But it's so far down from what he's psychologically amped himself up for. "I deserve."
13:13 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> FB reduces productivity

13:13 DaemonFC; As a state, California is incentivized to try to protect the industries that are major tax payers and job sources.

13:16 DaemonFC; Governments don't typically die, I should say.

13:46 DaemonFC; There we go. Scheduled the Buick into the dealership for an oil change.
13:47 DaemonFC; There's no real reason to go anywhere else for a synthetic oil change. Walmart is well known for fucking up cars and using the cheapest possible oil filters, which tend to have problems with seepage through the sides of the filter, or just blowing through the filter and feeding contaminated oil back into the engine.
13:47 DaemonFC; It's like five bucks.
13:48 DaemonFC; And they have people back there that don't know anything about cars except literally just how to change oil. Which they train to do it wrong, so quite often they screw up your oil drain plug and use an impact wrench to drive it forcibly into the oil pan, cross threading it. And that's like $500-1,200 to fix, and they're "self-insured" and their response is usually "It was like that when you brought it to us!".
13:48 DaemonFC; In other words, they dare you to sue.
13:49 DaemonFC; Then even if everything goes perfectly, you're stuck at Walmart for three hours because the entire point of the oil change place is to make you shop at Walmart becuase you don't have your car.
13:50 DaemonFC; So while they're back there spraying each other with windshield washer fluid and knocking your car off the lift, you have a cart full of junk you never would have bought had you not gone in there with so much time to fill up.
13:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I wised up on the Walmart oil change place when they nearly ruined the oil pan in my Crown Victoria.
13:51 DaemonFC; The shop managed to get the bolt back out, so it was only $10, but I got lucky. If they had done more damage than that, that's a cast iron pan, not aluminum like the newer cars.
13:51 DaemonFC; $1,000 just for the part, and like a couple labor hours.
13:52 DaemonFC; The OEM oil filters are huge. They're like 3.5 times the size of a Walmart TLE e-core filter if you drive a car with a 3.8-4.6 liter engine.
13:53 DaemonFC; Walmart is not using a good part.
13:53 DaemonFC; Lots of customers at Walmart have gotten off worse than me.
13:54 DaemonFC; I once read about a guy who bought a new pickup truck. The owner's manual said use only that 0w16 motor oil.

13:55 DaemonFC; The OEM refused to fix it because he didn't use the right oil, and the manager at Walmart tried to tell him it doesn't matter what oil you use because it's all the same.
13:55 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^
13:56 DaemonFC; (It is NOT all the same. If you use anything other than what the manual says you can, you will certainly have no warranty if they find out about it, and at worst you can seriously damage the engine.)
13:58 DaemonFC; Walmart basically ruins cars and in ways where nobody wants to pay for the damage and starts ducking your phone calls and hiding behind lawyers.
13:59 DaemonFC; That's how every business deal in this country is after someone fucks you.

14:41 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Welfare in the US ends up being a vicious cycle.
14:41 DaemonFC; It incentivizes leeches and scum to produce children who have no future so their welfare checks get dialed up in the present.
14:42 DaemonFC; The UK doesn't seem to be excessively plagued with this problem.

15:14 schestowitz[TR]; context?
15:14 DaemonFC; The prosecutor was trying to keep his voice down but the judge asked why they were so lenient and I heard him say "bad case" "not much actual evidence" and "we weren't confident in it".
15:15 DaemonFC; So that was actually what was going on, on their side of the room, years ago.
15:15 DaemonFC; It kind of pisses you off to hear that their assessment of the case was they were throwing it to try to get something out of you because it was a coin toss.
15:16 DaemonFC; My assessment of it at the time was that it was so much less terrible than what could happen that I didn't want to take the realistic odds in court, even if they were only 50%.
15:16 DaemonFC; So compromise. Everyone walks away feeling like they got taken advantage of.
15:17 DaemonFC; I decided to not be pissed off about that, because you can look at it from the angle of "You played it as well as you could and they didn't think you gave them much."
15:17 DaemonFC; That's smarter than most people.
15:18 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I was talking to one of those language models about how I feel disrespected by most people I interact with.
15:19 DaemonFC; It said to try to remember that I'm not responsible for how people choose to treat me, but what I can do is choose not to feel bad about their disrespectful behavior.
15:19 DaemonFC; I figure these things are at least as competent as most therapists you pay money to.

15:20 DaemonFC; Not many.
15:20 DaemonFC; A lot of them are so far in my past now, and dead in some cases. They don't even exist anymore either for practical purposes or in actuality, but I do.
15:21 DaemonFC; And I can either be miserable over what people who don't matter said a long time ago or I can ignore it and figure I'm here and they're not.
15:22 DaemonFC; My Grandmother was very arrogant and mean, and she's sitting in a nursing home rotting away now. She's lost her mind to the point where she can't recall what happened 60 seconds ago sometimes and asks the same question.
15:22 DaemonFC; She remembers how to be mean, but then she ends up in a loop because she doesn't remember that she already said that 1 minute ago, so she'll do the same thing again.
15:23 DaemonFC; The doctor taking care of her is clearly incompetent.
15:23 DaemonFC; He's put her on dementia medicine, but it's approved for Alzheimer's which she does not have.
15:24 DaemonFC; So the method of action is wrong, and nobody knows what it will do, not even the doctor.
15:24 DaemonFC; And she's lost her marbles so they say here's a pill and she swallows it.
15:25 schestowitz[TR]; My Grandmother was very arrogant and mean, and she's sitting in a nursing home rotting away now. She's lost her mind to the point where she can't recall what happened 60 seconds ago sometimes and asks the same question.

15:25 DaemonFC; Felta's mom died in 2002.
15:25 schestowitz[TR]; like her explosive cans preached for by teleevangelists
15:26 DaemonFC; My dad was seriously abused by his family.
15:26 schestowitz[TR]; it's possible to be in one's 90s and still be sharp
15:26 schestowitz[TR]; but it is rare
15:26 schestowitz[TR]; and you spend a lot of time and effort trying to keep alive
15:26 DaemonFC; His dad was a violent alcoholic that drank up all his money from the GM factory and wasn't feeding his kids.
15:26 schestowitz[TR]; so not too productive
15:26 schestowitz[TR]; and you need aids for things like hearing
15:26 schestowitz[TR]; and eyesight is poor
15:27 DaemonFC; One day, his mother fed them the shrimp fish bait that his dad had in the fridge.
15:27 DaemonFC; So he got home that night and beat his wife and the kids.
15:27 schestowitz[TR]; carl felta hurt

17:22 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], So you're not the only one this has happened to and won't be the last. Your king shared his roasted potato recipe and then delayed the trip to Paris until they finish stealing two more years of the pensions again and things calm down a bit.
17:22 DaemonFC; Don't want any eggings.
17:22 DaemonFC; Eggy in a basketcase. (the king)
17:23 DaemonFC; He isn't required to work or deal with the pensions mess.
17:24 DaemonFC; So meanwhile, across the street your Parliament debates how best to shut down the UK welfare state, complaining of people sitting on their ass all the time doing nothing, idle, waiting for more taxpayer money.
17:25 DaemonFC; While in the meantime you have a royal family that costs more than 50,000 of the people "on the dole" that they do talk about.
17:25 DaemonFC; Applying for winter heat assistance for the palace.
17:25 DaemonFC; Which palace?
17:25 DaemonFC; Oh just the Buckingham Palace. Why do you think we can soak them to heat the others too?

17:26 DaemonFC; These gas bills really are getting through the roof. It's not like a country full of people who have to sit around with hot water bottles is going to have opinions about this....
17:26 MinceR; easyJet was nicer and Air Berlin was much better than either (but it's gone)
17:26 DaemonFC; The idle rich. Nobody ever talks about them.
17:27 DaemonFC; The king has a nice gig. No work, wave at football games sometimes. Only one in the country that doesn't need a driver's license or passport. Soaks everyone in the country while the TV license vans are out there pointing their little pointy stick at Roy.
17:27 DaemonFC; Wondering if he's opted out of his TV license inappropriately.
17:28 DaemonFC; So they can go get a warrant and kick in the door.
17:29 DaemonFC; Out of all the things going wrong in America, at least nobody forces me to pay "TV License' for some fucking garbage that Bill Gates corrupts anyway.
17:29 DaemonFC; I suppose they get some money out of the general fund, but it's not very much.
17:29 DaemonFC; I think I worked it out once and every US taxpayer gives the Corporation for Public Broadcasting like 8 cents a year on average.

17:30 DaemonFC; Or worth funding.
17:30 schestowitz[TR]; for bill it is worth funding
17:30 DaemonFC; And then apparently if you watch TV on anything and it's not even BBC you have to pay BBC.
17:30 schestowitz[TR]; it covers up his crime
17:30 schestowitz[TR]; for slush funds
17:31 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC:
17:31 schestowitz[TR]; yes, TV Licensing(TM)
17:31 schestowitz[TR]; i boycott them
17:31 DaemonFC; I really seriously doubt that anyone from the TV License vans knows if you're in there bittorrenting over a VPN and then watching it.
17:31 DaemonFC; They might know about streaming sticks by monitoring Internet traffic through BT or something.
17:32 DaemonFC; So that very well may draw unwanted attention.
17:33 DaemonFC; Bard: "TV Licensing uses a number of methods to find people who are not paying them, including:
17:33 DaemonFC; Random checks: TV Licensing officers will randomly check homes to see if they have a TV licence.
17:33 DaemonFC; Reports from neighbors: Neighbors can report to TV Licensing if they suspect that someone is not paying their licence.
17:33 DaemonFC; Information from the DVLA: The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) shares information with TV Licensing about people who have bought cars or vans. This information includes the address of the property where the vehicle is registered.
17:33 DaemonFC; Data from TV providers: TV providers share information with TV Licensing about their customers. This information includes the address of the property where the TV is installed.
17:33 DaemonFC; If TV Licensing finds that someone is not paying their licence, they will send them a letter and a fine. If the person does not pay the fine, they may be taken to court."
17:33 DaemonFC; LOL, turn your neighbors in!
17:33 DaemonFC; Just like East Germany.
17:35 DaemonFC; It says you don't have to let TV License in unless they have a warrant.
17:35 DaemonFC; And you don't have to tell them why they can't come in.
17:37 DaemonFC; "es, a TV license inspector is powerless if you tell them to leave your property. They do not have the authority to enter your home without your permission, and they cannot force you to pay a TV license if you do not want to.
17:37 DaemonFC; If a TV license inspector comes to your door, you are under no obligation to answer it. You can simply ignore them and go about your day. If they refuse to leave, you can call the police and report them for trespassing.
17:37 DaemonFC; It is important to note that a TV license inspector is not a government official. They are employed by the TV Licensing Agency, which is a private company. They do not have any legal powers, and they cannot enforce any laws.
17:37 DaemonFC; If you are not sure how to deal with a TV license inspector, you can always contact the TV Licensing Agency for advice."
17:41 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> yes, TV Licensing(TM)
17:41 DaemonFC; Sounds pretty toothless.
17:41 DaemonFC; If they try to "catch you watching TV" they could be arrested for trespass and peeping tom.

18:29 TR Bot; Trump lawyer: Former presidents attack on Bragg was ill-advised | The Hill
18:29 DaemonFC; Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with attacking the prosecutor and calling him an "animal"?
18:31 DaemonFC; When you have your own attorney rushing to put distance from you...
18:31 DaemonFC; Taking Trump on as a client shows bad decision making process.
18:32 DaemonFC; He's left a lot of attorneys in his wake paying massive court fines, sitting in jail, losing their law license....some didn't even get paid.
18:32 DaemonFC; There's a price for annoying and harassing the court and its officers.
18:33 DaemonFC; One of those is that when you are verbally abusing the prosecutor like this, the judge can hold you in criminal contempt and you don't even get a jury on that one.
18:33 DaemonFC; The judge in the case can pretty much use contempt however they want to maintain the order and the decorum of the court process.
18:34 DaemonFC; The whole idea is that nobody wants to be in court and most people really hate the court, so it's a crime to become visibly flustered and to an extent that it interferes with the proceedings.
18:36 DaemonFC; What that actually means depends a lot on the judge's bullshit threshold. Some are quicker to do this than others, but trying the judge's patience is bad even if he doesn't use contempt. He can come up to a point where he has to make a ruling on something and he doesn't like you.

18:38 TR Bot; How Jerome Powells economic moves put pressure on Biden | The Hill
18:39 DaemonFC; "For Cause" has never been tested in this case because nobody's ever tried to fire a Fed Chair, but I doubt it would hold up in court. The President can fire anyone he appointed in the first place. There were similar incidents involving the CFPB and Social Security Administration, and those laws said "for cause", but the president did it anyway.
18:39 DaemonFC; The court ruled in the CFPB case that "for cause" was unacceptable because the "Independent Agencies" still answer to the President.
18:40 DaemonFC; So the result of this is that there can be a complete bloodbath with an incoming administration as long as the law has a provision regarding removal from office.
18:41 DaemonFC; It just hasn't happened yet. In Biden's case, he changed the locks on the Social Security Commissioner's office and fired Andrew Saul and nobody did anything about it.
18:41 DaemonFC; I laughed pretty hard.
18:41 DaemonFC; The SSA started the process to terminate all of Andrew Saul's proposed regulations to harass Disability Claimants more.
18:42 DaemonFC; Trump had the idea that they'd just run more aggressive and frequent CDRs on everyone who has mental health problems and see how many they could pry out of there that way.
18:43 DaemonFC; Almost nobody reported on the proposed rule change. I mean, what's tens of thousands more people with untreated mental illness eating out of the garbage at Metra and screaming at things only they can see because nobody's helping them get their meds.
18:43 DaemonFC; Right, schestowitz[TR] ?

18:55 schestowitz[TR]; you would break the wallet of poor people

18:55 DaemonFC; I mean, Apple's switching over to India.
18:55 schestowitz[TR]; haha
18:55 DaemonFC; They'll get their process down eventually and turn out enough product.
18:55 schestowitz[TR]; india would be low quality for hardware
18:55 schestowitz[TR]; like 20 years behind
18:55 MinceR; 26 195140 < schestowitz[TR]> "at least I don't live in USA"
18:55 schestowitz[TR]; apple would quickluy lose to chinese brands
18:55 MinceR; "at least i'll be dead this time tomorrow"
18:55 schestowitz[TR]; oppo, xiaomi
18:55 MinceR; 26 195147 < DaemonFC> Yeah, the whole world is kind of taking sides right now.
18:56 MinceR; i wish they were
18:56 DaemonFC; Apple switched some components to India already.
18:56 MinceR; red china needs to be punished for helping the child-abducters
18:56 DaemonFC; But they're having trouble with more complex parts for the iPhone.
18:56 DaemonFC; 50% reject rate in some cases.
18:56 DaemonFC; Way too high to be acceptable.
18:56 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
18:56 schestowitz[TR]; see what i mean...
18:56 schestowitz[TR]; so people in argentia..
18:56 schestowitz[TR]; would not buy apple
18:56 schestowitz[TR]; buy "better"s stuff from One China Policyland
18:57 DaemonFC; The world is too interconnected and everyone depends on someone they hate.
18:57 DaemonFC; So rationally, you couldn't have a war like this.
18:57 DaemonFC; But never underestimate how stupid people can be.
18:57 schestowitz[TR]; even our grain here comes from china
18:57 schestowitz[TR]; i kid you not
18:57 schestowitz[TR]; they bring it in boats here
18:57 schestowitz[TR]; our food
18:57 schestowitz[TR]; made or grown in china
18:57 DaemonFC; Yeah, it's like the nation state version of me and the landlord.
18:58 DaemonFC; I would rather have a house. But...
18:58 schestowitz[TR]; 4 days!

18:58 DaemonFC; Yeah, that fucking pissed me off.
18:58 MinceR; and his allies are declaring their love of nuclear terrorism, child abductions, genocide and war crimes.
18:58 MinceR; which is great
18:58 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], There's nothing much I can do about it.
18:59 MinceR; by the time humanity manages to kill itself off, it will be blindingly obvious that this is the best course for the universe
18:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
18:59 DaemonFC; My options are ride out the lease and move. Ride out the lease and sign another lease. Or do something incredibly stupid and get the police out here.
18:59 DaemonFC; So, uhm.
18:59 MinceR; the universe will be a better place without humans
18:59 DaemonFC; It'll be option one or two.
19:00 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I doubt he'll sell it, and if he does he's going to have to come down. A lot.
19:00 DaemonFC; You can't push something like this past a buyer and say "You might make your first dollar of profit in thirty years.
19:01 DaemonFC; He really shit the bed on dilly dallying until interest rates were through the roof and the banks fell over, schestowitz[TR]
19:01 DaemonFC; Now he's either going to have to hold onto it or commit to the bed shitting, and it depends on how badly he needs how much money right now.
19:01 schestowitz[TR]; did wordpress.com reply to you yet?
19:01 schestowitz[TR]; don't forget to cc matt
19:01 DaemonFC; Nope.
19:01 schestowitz[TR]; he's the most senior person there
19:02 DaemonFC; I can sign in, but it says I have no blogs.
19:02 schestowitz[TR]; he knew me for 20 years
19:02 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, it's sunday there
19:02 schestowitz[TR]; give them till monday/tue
19:02 schestowitz[TR]; it's also st. patrick
19:02 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I see it like this.
19:02 DaemonFC; He missed the boat and if he doesn't want to take a huge buzz cut on the sale price, he's stuck with it for 2-3 years.
19:02 DaemonFC; Maybe longer.
19:03 schestowitz[TR]; good
19:03 schestowitz[TR]; stuck is good
19:03 schestowitz[TR]; and if he has many empty units
19:03 schestowitz[TR]; less competition
19:03 schestowitz[TR]; less demand
19:03 schestowitz[TR]; lower prices
19:03 DaemonFC; Now people are panicked and throwing out beds and couches.
19:03 DaemonFC; So he just opened up another can of worms.
19:03 schestowitz[TR]; why throw them out?
19:04 DaemonFC; Apparently people here noticed that this behavior was very odd.
19:04 schestowitz[TR]; to hide damage they did?
19:04 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: people talk
19:04 schestowitz[TR]; it's contagious
19:04 DaemonFC; No, throwing them out by the dumpster and moving out.
19:04 schestowitz[TR]; it's enough for one tenant to find outt
19:04 schestowitz[TR]; then ssspeak to a mate next door
19:04 schestowitz[TR]; or across the hall
19:04 schestowitz[TR]; no more 12-month leases
19:04 schestowitz[TR]; "PAYG"
19:05 DaemonFC; He's signing a 12 month lease for that one that just opened up. Available April 1.
19:05 schestowitz[TR]; good!
19:05 DaemonFC; I guess that means he has someone in there busting ass fixing it up enough to rent again.
19:05 schestowitz[TR]; haha, here is one
19:06 schestowitz[TR]; tell the landlord
19:06 DaemonFC; That he went back to listing units here tells me that he at least has his doubts about this contract.
19:06 schestowitz[TR]; i want THAT unit
19:06 schestowitz[TR]; starting november
19:06 schestowitz[TR]; for 12 months
19:06 DaemonFC; If he expected to be out of here in less than a month then why would he even bother?
19:06 schestowitz[TR]; same price
19:06 DaemonFC; He's leaving breadcrumbs for me.
19:06 schestowitz[TR]; nom nom nom nom nom nom nom
19:06 DaemonFC; He can avoid talking to me but he can't make all of his behavior unobserved.
19:07 DaemonFC; Why sign a lease if you're done with this place days or weeks from now?
19:07 DaemonFC; Why do you give a fuck if they have to find one tenant to fill a vacancy?
19:08 DaemonFC; This thing is obviously either unraveling or he feels unconfident in it.
19:08 schestowitz[TR]; yup
19:08 DaemonFC; But now he's put everyone on high alert that maybe they should get lost and find another place because who knows what he'll do.
19:08 schestowitz[TR]; sleep well
19:08 schestowitz[TR]; i will
19:08 schestowitz[TR]; back in some hours to publish the video/article about wordpress.com
19:09 schestowitz[TR]; made tuxmachines-new backup over rsync
19:09 schestowitz[TR]; gn
19:09 DaemonFC; Do you feel like he could have handled this situation a lot better?
19:09 schestowitz[TR]; yrd
19:09 schestowitz[TR]; catch-22 though
19:09 DaemonFC; I see a few ways. Come down to a more reasonable price, list it sooner than he did, avoid panicking tenants somehow.
19:10 DaemonFC; He could have avoided panicking tenants by being more transparent and admitting whatever plans the new owners had and introducing them as potential buyers.
19:11 DaemonFC; The way I see it is he holds his own renters in contempt, sees it as so far below him to explain anything, and that's not working out real well for him.
19:11 *Noisytoot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
19:11 DaemonFC; I don't think that it's logical that they'd take the building over, wait out the leases and boot everyone.
19:12 DaemonFC; So why not just say "Hi, this is Bill and his business partner Jim and they want to buy the building, but there's no need to worry because they'll take over your lease and they plan to keep doing business as usual."?

21:35 DaemonFC; The politicians here are so stupid they didn't realize that if the town manager question passes, it forces a cutback that gets rid of three aldermen and makes the City Council "At-Large" so they can't gerrymander it.
21:36 DaemonFC; So they accidentally pushed for a referendum to get rid of them and take away their fiefdoms.
21:36 DaemonFC; Then they panicked because it'll probably pass and so they placed a question on next year's ballot which may not even be legal to ask voters if they want 9 wards like there are now.
21:37 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^
21:38 DaemonFC; "Do you want MOAR politicians?" Yeah, no.
21:38 DaemonFC; I think if taxpayers realize what's going on and how much these folks are costing us, each, they'll vote to save the money. Who wants more politicians floating around not doing anything good?

22:13 DaemonFC; It's fairly obvious that Google never would have tried to make a product out of Bard except that they're freaking out about LLMs in search results, which is bananas considering they mostly just take up screen real estate on top of actual search results and lie to you and hallucinate things.
22:13 DaemonFC; I asked ChatGPT if Illinois law requires my landlord to tell me if he's thinking of selling the building, it said yes, it pointed to a section of the Illinois Compiled Statutes that doesn't exist.
22:19 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz @DaemonFC
22:19 DaemonFC; I went further, and ChatGPT not only cited a section of Illinois law that does not exist, but it went further and made up an entire list of deadlines and potential court remedies under the law that it hallucinated about landlords selling their building without notifying the tenants.

23:12 DaemonFC; They should be thrown out of NATO. It's doubtful they'll actually live up to the treaty obligations and they're mostly there as Russian moles to sabotage the organization.
