00:02 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR3], USCIS's new fee schedule charges more if you want to paper file petitions.

00:02 IsambardPrince; They've laid off everyone at the California Service Center (400 people) and half the Vermont Service Center (75 layoffs so far.)

00:02 IsambardPrince; It really leans on you to e-file.

00:03 IsambardPrince; The e-file program does not work properly in Firefox.

00:03 IsambardPrince; The federal government say they support Firefox but even that's starting to go.

00:05 MinceR; no problem, mozilla will simply replace firecocks with a chromium fork and claim they had to, otherwise nobody would use firecocks anymore :>

00:14 IsambardPrince; The feds managed to hide the layoffs because they were contractors.

00:14 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR3], ^

00:14 IsambardPrince; USCIS has been having serious budget problems in the last 4 years.

00:15 IsambardPrince; They're supposed to get money from user fees, but Bonehead Biden has been letting Maduro dump his public masturbators and murderers out on us.

00:15 IsambardPrince; And not charging them any asylum processing fees.

02:05 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR3], I don't know how it works in the UK, but the police in the US have no duty to protect the public.

02:05 IsambardPrince; The Supreme Court has said it several times.

02:05 IsambardPrince; This leads to things like cops watching people getting stabbed to death right in front of them on the commuter train, or playing on their phones in school hallways while the children are screaming and being shot around the corner.

02:06 IsambardPrince; So people start carrying guns because nobody trusts the police.

02:06 IsambardPrince; The only job of the police is to protect the state.

02:07 IsambardPrince; When you carry, you're basically taking responsibility for your own safety rather than placing trust in a system that admits it won't protect you.

02:09 MinceR; how wonderful

05:35 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR3], Tech is pretty much dead.

05:35 Righty; Free tech is very much alive and kicking.

05:35 Righty; Proprietary tech is indeed dead.

05:36 IsambardPrince; Not so much.

05:36 IsambardPrince; I noticed that my Chromebook is Linux-ey but it actually works in ways that were just always so frustrating on actual Linux, some of which were the fault of people who capitulated to Microsoft.

05:37 IsambardPrince; And others because of UEFI aside from "Secure" Boot, it's just buggy and gross and terrible.

05:37 Righty; Chromebook runs Gentoo GNU/Linux, except with a GUI designed to stop you from doing anything but running chrome.

05:37 IsambardPrince; But also, there's a lot of Linux distributions out there where nobody really sands off the rough edges.

05:37 IsambardPrince; I just got tired of maintaining that.

05:37 Righty; You seem to be confusing a GNU feel with Linux.

05:37 IsambardPrince; So once you bludgeon Windows and get it to boot on shitty PC firmware, what do you have?

05:38 Righty; With a free GNU/Linux-libre distro, freedom.

05:38 IsambardPrince; Sound problems. Microphone problems. Video driver problems. Bugs in window managers nobody fixes.

05:38 Righty; Try not using garbage hardware.

05:38 IsambardPrince; You know, the HP Chromebook firmware seems to work fine, because it's not UEFI.

05:38 Righty; Sound and video cards just work on my machine, without any proprietary software.

05:38 IsambardPrince; Google dictated that it wouldn't use UEFI, and so the firmware is pretty good.

05:39 Righty; Chromebook's use u-boot as their bootloader software if i remember correctly.

05:39 IsambardPrince; They use a customized Coreboot.

05:39 Righty; Reminder that referring to software that lacks any firmness as "firmware" confuses the hell out of people.

05:39 IsambardPrince; There's a special payload or something that's not BIOS or UEFI.

05:40 IsambardPrince; This model supports SeaBIOS and Tianocore though.

05:40 IsambardPrince; If I ever convert it to run Linux I'll use SeaBIOS.

05:40 Righty; You can have whatever as a coreboot payload - you can execute Linux directly, but why would you do that when you can have a GRUB payload?

05:40 IsambardPrince; BIOS interfaces are so much less awful than UEFI.

05:40 Righty; It already runs that kernel, thus I don't see what "conversion" that would be/

05:40 Righty; You could convert it to run proper GNU mind you.

05:40 IsambardPrince; They're antiquated, but they work.

05:40 IsambardPrince; Without destroying the computer.

05:40 IsambardPrince; So there's this.

05:41 Righty; Intel chromebooks tend to ship garbage sound cards that just don't work btw.

05:41 IsambardPrince; In all the worst ways, UEFI continues PC BIOS.

05:41 IsambardPrince; All the crap like ACPI, it just carries right over.

05:41 IsambardPrince; So it's all of that and worse.

05:41 Righty; Intel won't tell you to correct proprietary program to load for the sound card either.

05:42 IsambardPrince; The Bluetooth issues I was having under most Linux distros don't happen on my Chromebook.

05:42 IsambardPrince; Maybe it doesn't use Pulseaudio.

05:42 IsambardPrince; Maybe Google designed something that works.

05:42 Righty; Bluetooth is always broken no matter the kernel or OS you use.

05:42 Righty; I use wires to get a superior experience.

05:43 IsambardPrince; My peripherals are all Bluetooth 5.x now.

05:43 Righty; Sorry for your loss.

05:43 IsambardPrince; And I'm using Google Pixel Buds Pro.

05:43 IsambardPrince; The sound quality is actually pretty good.

05:43 Righty; >Earbuds that run proprietary software.

06:02 schestowitz[TR3]; schestowitz[TR3], Tech is pretty much dead.

06:02 schestowitz[TR3]; why?

06:02 schestowitz[TR3]; my alarm clock works ok

06:02 schestowitz[TR3]; after almost 30 years

06:02 schestowitz[TR3]; radio (am and fm) still kicking

06:02 schestowitz[TR3]; no drm

06:02 schestowitz[TR3]; just modulated signal

06:04 schestowitz[TR3]; but eventually they will die

06:04 schestowitz[TR3]; maybe you will, too

06:05 schestowitz[TR3]; laptops with optical drives, headphones slop, ethernet etc will be hard to find

06:07 IsambardPrince; The world is getting worse by the minute.

06:07 Righty; Why would you use anything but a GNUbooted thinkpad? Optical drive if you want, 2 3.5mm ports and 1000BASE;T

06:07 Righty; *1000BASE-T

06:07 IsambardPrince; So death would almost be a relief.

06:07 IsambardPrince; In about 2-3 years at this rate it will be too expensive to even afford an apartment anywhere.

06:12 IsambardPrince; Their goal seems to be to ensure that nobody has anything left to lose and more of them just give up and shoot someone, like what happened in New York.

06:12 IsambardPrince; If nobody gets this under control, that's what will become normal.

06:15 IsambardPrince; This is why Canada banned guns.

06:15 IsambardPrince; It costs 8.5 times the average household income in San Francisco to buy a house, that's bad for the US.

06:15 IsambardPrince; But in Vancouver and Toronto, it's over 12.5.

06:17 IsambardPrince; So if Trudeau didn't take away the guns, bad things would happen to bad people.

06:17 IsambardPrince; Now they don't have to look over their shoulder.

06:17 IsambardPrince; Anyway, the Illinois Assault Weapons Ban, which just got struck down (but the state is appealing that) is for the same reason.

06:17 IsambardPrince; When an apartment in Chicago that was $550 in 2016 is $1700 a month now.

06:17 IsambardPrince; They worry.

06:18 IsambardPrince; Lots of evictions.

06:18 IsambardPrince; Many have guns.

06:18 IsambardPrince; Some of them will remember where their landlord, or the judge, lives.

06:18 IsambardPrince; So they want to take the guns.

06:19 IsambardPrince; It's going to turn into a war when they try to impose the slums of Mumbai on enough Americans in a few years.

09:05 IsambardPrince; "Rebecca Lewis, a 27-year-old Ohioan, has confronted this problem for as long as she has been a psychiatric patient. At 24, she began experiencing auditory hallucinations of people calling her name, followed by delusional beliefs about mythological creatures. While these experiences felt very real to her, she nevertheless knew something was off.

09:05 IsambardPrince; Not knowing where to turn, Lewis called a crisis line, which told her to go to an evaluation center in Columbus. When she drove herself there, she found an ambulance waiting for her. They told me to get into the ambulance, she said, and they said it would be worse if I ran.

09:05 IsambardPrince; Lewis, who was ultimately diagnosed with schizophrenia, was hospitalized for two days against her will. She refused to sign paperwork acknowledging responsibility for charges. The hospital attempted to obtain her mothers credit card, which Lewis had been given in case of emergencies, but she refused to hand it over. She later got a $1,700 bill in the mail. She did not contact the hospital to negotiate the bill because, she said

09:06 IsambardPrince; , I did not have the emotional energy to return to that battle.

09:06 IsambardPrince; To this day, Lewis gets debt collection calls and letters. When she picks up the calls, she explains she has no intention of paying because the services were forced on her. Her credit is damaged, but she considers herself lucky because she was able to buy a house from a family member, given how challenging it would have been to secure a mortgage."

16:28 schestowitz[TR3]; Its the old joke How do you make a small fortune in IT? Start with a big one! Kyndryl is doing exactly what IBM did to them. Exiting accounts they should have never bid on as commodity labor was/is the defining decision point. You are not adding value, but rather just providing labor. As such Kyndryl will shrink, while attempting to move upscale (eg add value to their commodity labor). Will they succeed? Most likely yes where t

16:28 schestowitz[TR3]; hey invest in value added skills, BUT they are certainly going to shrink given current course and speed. I view Kyndryl very much like an IBM Lab services off shoot. Yes their skill set is needed, but their value added skill set is not growing near as fast as the commodity labor contracts are expiring. Where will Kyndryl settle out? Most likely in the 60% range of where they were spun off. So 19.5 billion x .6 = 11.7 billion plus

16:28 schestowitz[TR3]; 3% growth over 3 years in new value add = plus 1 billion for a total of 13 billion. The equates to approx 60k worth of employees with 5k being on shore in NA.

16:36 TR News; Last week's problem: How do we explain to people that the busiest and richest place in the country lets CEOs be murdered and we cannot even catch or identify who did this? This week's problem: how do we explain to people even smart and rich people want to murder CEOs?

16:37 TR News; 9/11 presented similar questions: how can large financial centres be attacked at such a large scale (with so many people aware and involved)? Second: how can it be explained those who did this were reasonably well educated and from rich families?

16:39 TR News; The simplest answer: 1) stupid people cannot pull this off. 2) stupid people don't recognise how bad the world's problems are, they're far too busy working hard. 3) as seen with serial killers (i.e. people who successfully get away with murder many times), the cops aren't too clever

16:40 TR News; That Luigi guy didn't get caught because of the cops. It was the media spreading footage of the suspect and some citizen recognising him. So don't consider this "success story" for police.

16:40 TR News; Plus: that CCTV footage did NOT prevent the murder. Hence, it saved no lives.
