00:08 IsambardPrince; The indictment is fucked up?

00:08 IsambardPrince; I agree.

00:08 IsambardPrince; The US is getting ready to sanction the ICC.

00:08 IsambardPrince; The law that Congress is passing refers to it as an "illegitimate court".

00:09 IsambardPrince; In the law, the US will sanction anyone that assists it.

00:09 *agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed)

00:09 IsambardPrince; It's designed to pair with the US law that authorizes the President to use military force to free any Americans the ICC detains.

00:09 *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights

00:09 IsambardPrince; Americans are not subject to the ICC.

00:10 IsambardPrince; And if they try to arrest us, our military will go in shooting and free the hostages.

00:10 MinceR; no, giving netan-yahoo a free pass is fucked up

00:10 IsambardPrince; Because US law is superior to the United Nations, and US law is enforceable.

00:10 MinceR; i don't give a fuck about what you think about the ICC

00:10 IsambardPrince; Well it applies to Hungary.

00:10 MinceR; also, notice that poland is not the USA

00:10 IsambardPrince; Because it's a weak country and I think you agreed to it anyway.

00:10 MinceR; hungary has very blatantly betrayed its allies

00:11 MinceR; but it's ok, because in this world, there are no consequences to what humans do, except for our looming extinction.

00:11 IsambardPrince; The ICC doesn't apply to Americans because we'll fuck them up if they try anything.

00:11 MinceR; again, it doesn't fucking matter if it applies to "americans"

00:11 MinceR; because "americans" aren't fucking involved.

00:11 MinceR; netan-yahoo is not american

00:12 MinceR; poles are not american

00:12 IsambardPrince; 'The ICC doesn't apply to him either.

00:12 IsambardPrince; Israel didn't ratify the treaty, and is under our protection.

00:12 IsambardPrince; If anyone arrests Israeli officials to send them to the ICC, they will be sanctioned by the US.

00:13 IsambardPrince; That pretty much means that all their assets that the US has access to are frozen, no bank that does business in the US will deal with them and is required to freeze their assets.

00:13 IsambardPrince; I mean, people say US sanctions won't affect them then find out they're wrong.

00:14 IsambardPrince; I think the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act should have gone further than sanctioning individuals and denying US visas to them and their family members.

00:14 IsambardPrince; It should have sanctioned entire countries for participating with the ICC against the US or its allies.

00:15 IsambardPrince; I really doubt that anyone is going to risk the entire country being sanctioned by the US to hand Netanyahu over to the ICC.

00:16 IsambardPrince; I read most of the ICCA, and it does not only apply to US citizens. It covers US "persons" which includes anyone with legal immigration status/permanent residence, and it also says "anyone in the United States".

00:17 IsambardPrince; So under a literal reading, the ICCA protects even illegal immigrants who are present in the US from being turned over to the ICC.

00:22 MinceR; 12 011220 < IsambardPrince> Israel didn't ratify the treaty, and is under our protection.

00:22 MinceR; so if netan-yahoo stays the fuck home, or only goes to the USA, he's safe

00:22 MinceR; again, irrelevant.

00:23 MinceR; unless orange mussolini is ready to start a war (8 days before he's even crowned) over this.

00:23 MinceR; and if he wants to, go right the fuck ahead

00:23 MinceR; the more humans die, the better.

00:23 *oarion7 has quit (Quit: Running IRC on a charmed medieval abacus.)

00:25 IsambardPrince; I don't think there will be a war if we bust him out of ICC custody.

00:25 IsambardPrince; The EU isn't a threat to the US, militarily.

00:25 IsambardPrince; There's really nothing that they can do to us which won't bring immediate and horrifying consequences to them all.

00:26 IsambardPrince; So they're unimportant.

00:26 IsambardPrince; They're so unimportant that up to this point they're really not worth doing much about except making sure Russia doesn't move in and take all of it, which it would have without us.

00:29 MinceR; i suspect it will do so regardless

00:29 *agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed)

00:29 MinceR; what's orange mussolini going to do if orban, the leaders of the afd and the other nazi parties in power in EU members agree to their states being annexed into muscovy?

00:31 IsambardPrince; Nothing.

00:31 IsambardPrince; Better brush up on your Russian I suppose.

00:32 IsambardPrince; Duolingo?

00:32 MinceR; after you.

00:32 IsambardPrince; Nyet

00:32 IsambardPrince; I wonder what Puting even has left to "invade" with.

00:33 IsambardPrince; He lost most of his better Soviet-era junk to US defensive weaponry in Ukraine already.

00:45 MinceR; he doesn't need to

00:45 MinceR; one of his fanboys is going to own you in 8 days.

00:46 MinceR; and another one of his fanboys is practically going to be in charge over everything over there, because orange mussolini is mindless

01:35 schestowitz[TR2]; Trump will use tarrifs to inflate prices for things made in China - which is EVERYTHING. Expect lots of inflation - just like last time...

01:35 schestowitz[TR2]; And he will go after desperate migrants working less than minimum wage to ensure that all fruit picking jobs are protected for Real Amerikans! Americans need to be competitive and work these jobs. Stay super healthy and you won't need healthcare.

01:35 schestowitz[TR2]; He will not: curb H1B Visas. He will not do a damn thing to protect white collar jobs being aggressively outsourced due to "AI" - that is, "All India".

01:35 schestowitz[TR2]; How do I know? He did nothing last time. And this time Musk holds the reins of power and he loves H1Bs and outsourcing.

04:24 TR Bot; Techrights Free Software Foundation: Anchoring the FSF in its values

04:24 schestowitz[TR2]; un a nutshell

04:24 schestowitz[TR2]; some pedos want some neurodivergent people out

04:24 schestowitz[TR2]; FSF says no

04:24 schestowitz[TR2]; becauuse the pedos' goal is to oust freedom-respecting people

04:24 schestowitz[TR2]; and replace t hem with guys and dolls who serve MSFT

04:24 schestowitz[TR2]; the FSSF says:

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; "Already in 1985, we could see that many of the people who appreciated the GNU Project's work (developing useful GNU software packages) did not support our goal and values. To look at software issues in terms of freedom was radical and many were reluctant to consider it, so they continued to evaluate programs based on practical convenience. If the FSF were member-governed, it would soon have hundreds of members who considered our

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; goals and values unimportant and would vote to dispense with them -- if they could. To avoid that sad end, we had to design the organization not to be vulnerable to this danger.

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; "

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; "

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; As the media incessantly labeled our work as "open source", many embraced "open source" thinking we endorsed it, even as the term gave them the wrong idea of what we stood for. We had to work hard to inform the public that we stood for something different from that. When people learned where we stood, some adopted our philosophy, but many stuck with "open source" since it did not question the values that society had taught them.

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; It would have been almost inevitable for supporters of "open source" to join the FSF, then vote to convert it into an "open source" organization, if its structure allowed such a course. Fortunately, we had made sure it did not. So we were able to continue spreading the idea that software freedom is a freedom that everyone needs and everyone is entitled to, just like freedom of speech.

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; In recent years, several influential "open source" organizations have come to be dominated by large companies. Large companies are accustomed to seeking indirect political power, and astroturf campaigns are one of their usual methods. It would be easy for companies to pay thousands of people to join the FSF if by doing so they could alter its goals and values. Once again, our defensive structure has protected us."

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; So let's focus on this.

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; Instead of that "lgbtqabcdefg" infightinng

04:25 schestowitz[TR2]; which really doess not belong in this channel anyway

08:36 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Now I'm on the episode where the "whales" warn them about a CME.

08:36 IsambardPrince; One recurring hallucination is a burn victim.

08:37 IsambardPrince; It got to Dr. Beckett in the medical lab. He heard the distorted voices and went in to see the burn victim on the operating table.

08:37 IsambardPrince; I said "He went to see burning man."

08:37 IsambardPrince; You know that's in California.

08:37 IsambardPrince; Lots of burning men there right now.

08:38 IsambardPrince; Might be a sore subject for a while

08:38 IsambardPrince; Also, they've arrested at least one illegal alien from Venezuela for arson.

08:38 IsambardPrince; So it's a good bet a lot of those fires were started by them.

08:38 IsambardPrince; They said he had a blowtorch and he was setting old Christmas trees and trash cans on fire with it.

08:53 IsambardPrince; schestowitz-pi, No messages in Fedora DEI since December 13th.

08:54 IsambardPrince; Nothing official since November 22nd.

08:56 IsambardPrince; No longer necessary.

08:56 IsambardPrince; Trump is back.

08:57 IsambardPrince; IBM has no need for DEI. Hell, they're probably donating millions to his inauguration fund along with the rest of the tech companies.

08:57 IsambardPrince; The board that Trump stacked with his own family members and cronies who will get massive "salaries" out of the same money.

(There arent any limits on donations to inaugural committees, though foreign nationals cannot donate.)"

16:37 MinceR; > "Rust Server" barely even means anything.

16:37 MinceR; maybe it means "server with tens of gigabytes of RAM"

16:38 MinceR; so that your fart app can run for a while before the server has to reboot because of all the memory leaks

16:40 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe it means "server with tens of gigabytes of RAM"

16:40 schestowitz[TR2]; serious question

16:40 schestowitz[TR2]; does rust have this effect?

16:40 schestowitz[TR2]; say,

16:40 schestowitz[TR2]; i write an irc client in c

16:40 schestowitz[TR2]; and then the same in rust

16:40 schestowitz[TR2]; how does perf compare?

16:40 MinceR; well, rust is paraded around as some sort of magic that makes shitty programmers write great code

16:40 schestowitz[TR2]; i remember that gnote was like 6 times faster than tomboy

16:41 MinceR; they advertise this piece of shit as something that makes it sooo hard to have memory leaks

16:41 MinceR; and it just doesn't

16:41 schestowitz[TR2]; which the serial strangler had done in mono

16:41 schestowitz[TR2]; before hub(ert) rewrote it in c++ (iirc)

16:41 MinceR; probably a good programmer, should they choose to waste their resources on rust, could write good and fast code in rust that doesn't waste RAM

16:41 schestowitz[TR2]; MinceR: so it's hype

16:41 schestowitz[TR2]; i never coded in it

16:41 MinceR; but an attitude of "the language will just magically make my code good" doesn't help

16:42 schestowitz[TR2]; right

16:42 schestowitz[TR2]; it wass always an issue

16:42 schestowitz[TR2]; you cannn code badly in ASM

16:42 schestowitz[TR2]; assembly

16:42 schestowitz[TR2]; that's alwayssss possible

16:42 schestowitz[TR2]; even without blaming "comppiler"

16:42 schestowitz[TR2]; or "Framework"

21:26 IsambardPrince; RFMA is safe, for now. It had enough Republican support when it passed the Senate that it easily cleared 60 votes, and repealing it would fall under a point of order if the Republicans used a reconciliation bill.

21:26 IsambardPrince; So for now, same-sex marriage is safe from that angle.

21:27 IsambardPrince; RFMA also has a severability clause, so what that means is if the Supreme Court strikes part of it down, the parts that are still workable without that section are still in effect.

21:28 IsambardPrince; So if they decide that States don't have to recognize out-of-State marriage licenses that don't conform to their local laws, the federal government still would, and so could the States that chose to.

21:28 IsambardPrince; So you still have choice of law where as long as it's legal in only one State, you could still go there.

21:28 IsambardPrince; Illinois is getting ready to pass a law removing the requirement for residency in Illinois to get married in Illinois.

21:29 IsambardPrince; So if we get into a situation where Indiana and Michigan don't recognize them somehow, you could still go to Illinois.

21:29 IsambardPrince; The residency requirement dates back to when some States had Miscegenation laws.

21:30 IsambardPrince; The Illinois legislature permitted interracial marriages, but didn't want to infringe on other States that hadn't.

21:31 IsambardPrince; The law books have been getting huge updates here because the parts in question largely didn't matter for about 40-60 years.

21:32 IsambardPrince; I think we should pass another type of SHIELD law, where we won't turn over people who face the death sentence until the requesting State agrees not to seek or enforce it.

21:32 IsambardPrince; They'd sit in jail here indefinitely with a "pending" extradition until that's taken care of.

21:38 IsambardPrince; It's never "only" that they "are trans". They all obviously have other things going on because the root cause is in some sort of psychotic episode/mental condition elsewhere.

21:39 IsambardPrince; I have no idea what sort of trauma makes the brain do that though. I've been through some bad shit and it never broke me so bad that my brain rebooted and I thought I was a woman when I looked in the mirror.

21:46 IsambardPrince; MinceR, ^

21:47 IsambardPrince; "Many transgender people cant afford to pay out of pocket for their health care."

21:47 MinceR; can you at least leave my nick out of your bigoted rants?

21:47 IsambardPrince; Well, no. It's hard paying for actual medically necessary healthcare. I can only imagine what happens when you add the costs of treating terminal illness because you have a mental illness that makes you think you're the wrong gender.

21:48 IsambardPrince; "Without the ability to pay for prescription refills on hormones like testosterone and estrogen, trans Americans would face the prospect of having to suddenly stop hormone replacement therapy, which can cause adverse side effects like menopausal symptoms."

21:48 IsambardPrince; Sounds fun.

21:49 IsambardPrince; "Republicans have indicated that they want to keep the filibuster,but, as Rolling Stone reports, it is unclear if enough Democrats in Congress are willing to use it to defend trans rights."

21:50 IsambardPrince; In a country of 340 million people, there are only about 12,000 people under 18 receiving treatment for "tranny issues".

21:50 IsambardPrince; It seems logical to throw another election going after the same 0.01% of voters that made Trump's campaign a cake walk last year.

21:51 IsambardPrince; It's important because nobody knows how to fix a tranny anymore.

21:53 IsambardPrince; "Trump wants the Justice Department to investigate Big Pharma and hospital networks to determine if they have covered up side effects of gender-affirming care or illegally marketed hormones and puberty blockers. He has said he wants the Department of Education to inform states and school districts that any teacher or school official caught suggesting to a child that they might be transgender will be faced wi

21:53 IsambardPrince; th severe consequences, including potential civil rights violations for sex discrimination."

21:53 IsambardPrince; "He has pledged to remove any health care provider or hospital that provides gender-affirming care to trans youth from the Medicaid or Medicare programs, on the grounds that providing such care violates the programs federal health and safety standards. Although Trump does not name a federal agency in this declaration, such a policy change would have to be done through the secretary of health and human services or rulemakin

21:53 IsambardPrince; g within the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)."

21:54 IsambardPrince; That would take about 6-8 months but it's doable.

21:54 IsambardPrince; Someone could probably get a national injuntion but it would be difficult to keep it in effect for more than a few weeks.

21:54 IsambardPrince; The appeals courts are harder to "shop" because you get either 3 judges or 9 usually.

21:55 IsambardPrince; And there's a pretty even mix on most, excpet a few where Trump managed to name almost all of them.

21:55 IsambardPrince; So forget them.

22:04 IsambardPrince; Most people try not to engage because of this.

22:05 IsambardPrince; Distrubingly, most of the increase is due to high rents and the horrible Biden jobs market that the news lied about for four years.

22:05 MinceR; i don't care

22:05 IsambardPrince; Whenever the news said something bad about the Biden administration, government officials would call and curse them out and threaten them.

22:06 IsambardPrince; The US actually dropped more in Press Freedom under Biden than it did under Trump.

22:06 IsambardPrince; We fell 5 spots under Biden.

22:39 IsambardPrince; The Laken Riley Act has almost nothing to do with what happened to Laken Riley, and wouldn't have prevented it.

22:40 IsambardPrince; NYC released her killer on low level state charges, ignoring an ICE detainer.

22:40 IsambardPrince; Which would have happened even if the Laken Riley Act had been the law at that point in time.

22:41 IsambardPrince; Nothing in the Act requires NYC to change their policy of ignoring ICE detainers.

22:41 IsambardPrince; It says that ICE has to detain someone accused of those misdemeanors, but only if they get to the jail before they're released.

22:42 IsambardPrince; In many cases, you only sit in jail for 3-5 hours before they let you go on a promise to appear.

22:42 IsambardPrince; By the time the FBI gets your prints, two of those hours have already elapsed.

22:42 MinceR; also, they're not republican

22:42 IsambardPrince; So unless ICE gets there in 1-3 hours then they still won't catch you.

22:42 MinceR; republicans don't abolish republics

22:46 IsambardPrince; Someone on Reddit said that the interviewer at USCIS said there had been a surge of citizenship applications in the past couple years from long time green card holders.

22:47 IsambardPrince; So obviously I wasn't the only one that saw Trump as a threat.

22:47 IsambardPrince; If others didn't, that's really their problem I guess.

22:47 IsambardPrince; A lot of people I know of with DACA, green cards, etc. could have moved faster and they decided to go blow their money at the bar or concerts or something.

23:03 IsambardPrince; MinceR, I don't know why so many people wasted all the money they should have been filing for the next step in their immigration/citizenship stuff with.

23:03 IsambardPrince; Trump wasn't a problem that week and they wanted to party I guess?

23:03 MinceR; do i care?

23:05 IsambardPrince; Well, people complain an awful lot without lifting a finger to protect themselves.

23:06 IsambardPrince; So obviously it didn't matter to them until it was too late.
