00:46 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], In part of Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler openly admired American immigration laws.
00:46 IsambardPrince; They've changed since then, but the core concepts remain.
00:46 IsambardPrince; So I had to get Mandy passed laws based on the ones that Hitler admired.
00:46 IsambardPrince; *past
00:47 IsambardPrince; The 1952 and 1965 acts and the small amendments later on changed that significantly, so they wouldn't be as openly racist.
00:47 IsambardPrince; But they kept core concepts like "public charge" giving immigration officers the ability to claim you might turn out to be one, even if there's no evidence of that.
00:48 IsambardPrince; So whether your case is approved or not can come down to which immigration officer you get (which is random) instead of specific laws and regulations.

06:25 IsambardPrince; it takes them forever to get an attempted murder trial actually in trial I guess.
06:26 IsambardPrince; At least Seattle has some prosecutors who haven't lost their damned minds.
06:27 IsambardPrince; In Chicago, one of them literally said you "shouldn't be sitting in jail just because" they "think" that you killed someone.
06:27 IsambardPrince; So they let them go with cashless bail and they kill three more people, string of armed robberies...

07:55 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], The grocery store screw up was kind of funny.
07:56 IsambardPrince; 50 cents per 12 ounce bag of coffee is definitely the best price I've ever paid.
07:56 IsambardPrince; I suppose poetic justice for all those years of "OMG, really." when the cans are smaller again.
07:57 IsambardPrince; I remember in the 90s when coffee was so cheap it just didn't occur to anyone why you wouldn't make an entire pot of it, even if half went down the drain.
07:57 IsambardPrince; And now the stuff is practically priced like gold.
07:57 schestowitz[TR2]; not THAT cheap
07:57 schestowitz[TR2]; it was not expensive
07:57 schestowitz[TR2]; but not cheap, either
07:57 IsambardPrince; And all these pompous shitheads on the "news" say "brace" for coffee to be a "luxury".
07:57 schestowitz[TR2]; i have too many coffees at the moment
07:57 schestowitz[TR2]; and gave some away
07:57 schestowitz[TR2]; in november
07:57 schestowitz[TR2]; to family
07:58 schestowitz[TR2]; yesterday i also turned down good tea as we have enough for ~2 years to come
07:58 IsambardPrince; They print a date on it, but as long as you're not storing it out in conditions like my grandmother's garage, and going "Oh there's nothin' wrong with that." and the can expired in 1976, and the seal is intact, you're fine.
07:58 IsambardPrince; A few years makes practically no difference really.
07:59 IsambardPrince; The dates have been getting shorter to discourage people from anticipating inflation and putting a ton of it away.
07:59 schestowitz[TR2]; i am sipping twining now
07:59 schestowitz[TR2]; those are usually overpriced
07:59 schestowitz[TR2]; i am not sure why
07:59 schestowitz[TR2]; pukka also
07:59 IsambardPrince; Yeah, I recall...
07:59 schestowitz[TR2]; probably just because they can... the branbd
07:59 IsambardPrince; When nobody really cared too much about coffee quality.
08:00 IsambardPrince; They wanted a big can and they wanted it cheap.
08:00 IsambardPrince; And you got like these 56 ounce cans for $4.
08:00 *hawer (~newyear@freenode-drv.aab.2jssns.IP) has joined #techrights
08:00 IsambardPrince; That's enough to make like over 40 full pots of coffee (12 US coffee cup pots).
08:01 IsambardPrince; If you did half pots or got the small coffee machine then you'd have trouble even getting through $4 of coffee in the next 6 months.
08:01 IsambardPrince; Now you get a bag, right, it's 11 or 12 ounce, and it's like $10.
08:01 IsambardPrince; And you open it up, and a few days later it's empty.
08:02 IsambardPrince; That's how it feels anyway.
08:02 IsambardPrince; It feels painful. Like, you pay 2.5 times more, for like 15% of what you used to get.
08:02 IsambardPrince; And if they take more it'll just be an empty bag.
08:02 schestowitz[TR2]; quick question
08:02 IsambardPrince; Probably cost $20 then.
08:02 schestowitz[TR2]; for article
08:02 schestowitz[TR2]; give please
08:02 schestowitz[TR2]; examples
08:03 schestowitz[TR2]; of trump saying very homophobic thingd
08:03 schestowitz[TR2]; i am writing about crook, tim
08:03 schestowitz[TR2]; bribing trump
08:04 IsambardPrince; Well, he kept insisting it was legal under federal law to fire gay people, even after the Supreme court ruled 6-3 that it wasn't.
08:05 IsambardPrince; He openly bragged that thanks to his appointees to the Supreme Court, businesses could turn away gay customers, even if their State had a law against it.
08:05 schestowitz[TR2]; urls?

08:06 TR Bot; Jeff Sessions Just Reversed A Policy That Protects Transgender Workers From Discrimination
08:06 IsambardPrince; The evil keebler elf, Jeff Sessions started the whole thing when he reversed an Obama DoJ opinion that gay people had protection under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
08:08 IsambardPrince; https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/trump-administration-sides-with-baker-in-same-sex-wedding#.dnPpK5d6A
08:08 TR Bot; Trump Administration Sides With Baker In Same-Sex Wedding Cake Case
08:09 IsambardPrince; The Illinois Human Rights Commission sided with two gay men who were told they couldn't have a wedding reception at a downstate bed and breakfast, despite the website saying it hosted weddings. The owner didn't just refuse, he started harassing one of the men via email.

08:09 *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights
08:09 IsambardPrince; The Commission took up the case and awarded the men some serious monetary damages. He appealed it to the US Supreme Court, which at the time refused to take it.
08:10 IsambardPrince; So the Illinois AG stepped in (Lisa Madigan at the time, same one who took up my filing against Lenovo) and threatened to start seizing assets, including his b&b.
08:10 IsambardPrince; So the guy finally paid them on the last day, plus interest.
08:10 IsambardPrince; But after the Colorado bakery case, it's pretty clear the same thing would not happen again today.
08:11 IsambardPrince; The US Supreme Court has not only decided federal law, it's practically committed an invasion of blue States and overturned our civil rights laws.
08:12 IsambardPrince; The ICHR is still there, but it doesn't take up high profile cases anymore lately.
08:12 IsambardPrince; There's no point.
08:12 IsambardPrince; The US Supreme Court practically gutted what it can do to prevent housing, healthcare, or public service civil rights law.
08:12 IsambardPrince; And that's theoretically the same in all States.
08:13 IsambardPrince; Nobody wants to test it because nobody wants it going in front of this court so they can do more damage.
08:14 IsambardPrince; They like religious exemption, because it gives them the ability to serve only who they will.
08:15 IsambardPrince; I don't think anyone has tried to tell black customers to get out lately.
08:15 IsambardPrince; But really, what stops them?
08:15 IsambardPrince; All they have to do is articulate that black people are against their religion and that's that.
08:15 IsambardPrince; And a religion can be anything really, according to the government.
08:15 IsambardPrince; So we've ended up where you can do a lot and just say it's your religion.
08:16 IsambardPrince; If Trump gets another Supreme Court appointment, it could get worse.
08:17 IsambardPrince; It would get worse even if their token black guy, Thomas, died, and Trump replaced him.
08:17 IsambardPrince; Because it would mean another 50 years with someone as bad as him.
08:17 IsambardPrince; Trump says that quality isn't the goal with judges, they want to get someone 30 or 40 on the bench so you have to live with them for 50 years.
08:18 IsambardPrince; It locks all of their policies in place for half a century.
08:18 IsambardPrince; Worse, it's somewhere where the public can't do anything about them with an election.
08:19 IsambardPrince; We've seen that with the judges in Texas, Louisiana, the Fifth Circuit.
08:19 IsambardPrince; It's gotten very bad, and you look at who appointed them.
08:19 IsambardPrince; Trump Trump Trump

08:20 IsambardPrince; The Democrats did a horrible job with the judges.
08:20 IsambardPrince; They could have appointed at least 30 more if they scheduled more days on the Senate calendar.
08:21 IsambardPrince; The Republicans are back and they scheduled a full calendar.
08:21 IsambardPrince; Well it's obvious what they're doing. I mean, the Democrats were taking months off, back to back, not even concerned at all that this might happen.
08:21 IsambardPrince; Then at the last minute, they tried to cram.
08:24 IsambardPrince; The Democrats make a really shitty party, not just a shitty opposition.
08:24 IsambardPrince; They're already talking about working with Trump, instead of crashing his presidency into the rocks with the Republican playbook.
08:28 IsambardPrince; There's been no organized movement by the left to take over the Democrat Party because what pulled off the TEA Party and Trump waves was fascism.
08:28 IsambardPrince; And fascism in the sense where the corporations and the government are pretty much the same thing.
08:28 IsambardPrince; So they had the money to pull that off.

16:21 nobody; AWFULL
16:22 nobody; some self-made system of mine, which is some isolinux/hybid.iso does work flawlessly, but i explicitely removed all EFI stuff from this
16:23 nobody; seems PC-BIOS got broken from both sides nowadays, UEFI/csm and absence thereof, and/or the ISO bootloader stuff which is advertized for PC-BIOS compatibility but my thinkpad t40 testing device can't handle it
16:25 nobody; the thinkpad t40 BIOS is labeled year2004, non-UEFI of cause, it does support PC-BIOS booting from usb/cdrom/floppy just fine - if it's not some efi/compat iso that all linux distros ship as nowadays
16:25 nobody; it's a sporadic issue, sometimes BIOS picks up usb with bootloader, sometimes it doesn't, of cause i know how to activate this in BIOS
16:26 nobody; EFI/PC-BIOS-compat is fundementally broken
16:26 nobody; that's probably why intel seeks to abandon it, because they can't cope with their own junk anylonger
16:27 nobody; interestingly, if i dump such live/efi.iso image onto the internel IDE disk of this thinkpad, then it always does boot reliably
16:27 nobody; dumping onto USB is a hit and miss, sporadically, without any way to diagnose what's happening internally
16:28 nobody; and, this is an IBM business grade laptop, with a quality PC-BIOS implementation
16:29 nobody; usb-boot does work, if i supply my self-made isolinux.iso, but whatever common distros ship as efi/compat nowadays does NOT work
16:30 nobody; similar issue were reported with qemu and virtualbox
16:30 nobody; anyway, i got options to boot some of the modern software-crap, then i am hitting the next sanity check barrier
16:30 nobody; since the thinkpad t40 got 1GiB of RAM "only", and even with some slim and efficient linux distro nowadays it is practically IMPOSSIBLE to use any firefox browser
16:31 nobody; i had first used some NetScape browser with a pentium computer that got 64MiB of ram, and this did work

16:37 Sompi; nobody: Does OpenBSD have Firefox at all anymore? If I remember correctly, they removed it because of some problem with the rust compiler
16:39 Sompi; Since UEFI became a thing, many BIOS vendors started to add weird restrictions to their BIOS implementations too. Those restrictions cause it to not recognise a bootable disk correctly

16:44 nobody; and, the the usb-stick is picked up, and booted sporadically, as a rough estimate it's a 10% chance
16:45 nobody; within the thinkpad T40 bios, the available device list arbitrarily is altered, and the efi/compat/usb stick sometimes shows up, sometimes it doesn't for no obvious reason
16:45 Sompi; Some fairly recent BIOS implementations randomly give the USB stick a device number that does not have the sign bit set, and then the operating system sees that it has been booted from a floppy
16:45 Sompi; Such basic things are broken
16:46 Sompi; It almost seems like they are intentionally breaking the BIOS
16:48 nobody; the thinkpad t40 PC-BIOS is not broken, it's working perfectly with the isolinux[hyrbid].iso that i create myself, for usb or cd boot
16:48 Sompi; It may work with MS-DOS and Windows because Microsoft's boot loaders always have the source device hardcoded in the boot code, which makes then unportable
