05:16 schestowitz; look at the "pegination"
05:16 schestowitz; not even a Web page
05:16 schestowitz; this is awful
05:20 schestowitz-TR; also, unless I am missing something, it is no longer possible to leave comments
05:20 schestowitz-TR; AND
05:20 schestowitz-TR; all the old comments are gone
05:20 schestowitz-TR; there used to be some good comments on there until about a decade ago
05:20 schestowitz-TR; I dislike it when sites make important comments just vanish like they don't matter
05:20 schestowitz-TR; and never existed
05:22 schestowitz-TR; no authors page
05:22 schestowitz-TR; no archives
05:22 schestowitz-TR; I don't want to 'bash' them publicly though
05:22 schestowitz-TR; sometimes they link to us
05:23 schestowitz-TR; they clearly did not optimise for usability or preservation but something like "UX" or marketing

06:38 Techrights-sec2; "UX" is a pox
06:44 schestowitz-TR; Being A Confident Pedestrian gemini://midnight.pub/posts/1035
07:11 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
07:35 Techrights-sec2; checking
07:35 Techrights-sec2; were all of RMS' interviews removed or just the RT ones?
07:35 schestowitz-TR; draft
07:35 schestowitz-TR; very thing RT.. and his one time at Alex Jones/DisinfoWar
07:35 schestowitz-TR; *everything
07:37 Techrights-sec2; I had not known about the latter; that was even worse judgement than talking to
07:37 Techrights-sec2; RT. However, the most foolish of all was his going to Redmond; There aren't
07:37 Techrights-sec2; words to describe how stupid that looked even at the time, now that some time
07:37 Techrights-sec2; has passed, it looks even more foolish. That's really too bad, because he
07:37 Techrights-sec2; may not be able to make up for it
07:37 Techrights-sec2; strategically
07:38 schestowitz-TR; Coin-operated SJVN has since then used that to say even RMS is OK with Microsoft
07:38 schestowitz-TR; and thus anyone who dislikes Microsoft is even 'more extreme' than RMS
07:39 Techrights-sec2; Yep, they will continue to milk that for decades, assuming they are around that
07:39 Techrights-sec2; long. If RMS kicks off soon, they will even pull not just an "OK with" but
07:39 Techrights-sec2; a posthumous endorsement out of it like many did with Swartz
07:53 schestowitz-TR; draft
07:53 Techrights-sec2; ack
07:53 Techrights-sec2; btw there was a good article in popsci or something like that evaluating
07:53 Techrights-sec2; laptops with Linux pre-installed
07:53 Techrights-sec2; checking draft ...
07:55 schestowitz-TR; that's the article I mentioned to you yesterday
07:55 schestowitz-TR; I added that to tuxmachines
07:55 schestowitz-TR; about once a ay I check gulag noise to see what "Linux" news I do not yet have an rss feed for, then I search for feed categry
07:55 schestowitz-TR; and try to cover the gap
07:55 schestowitz-TR; until some time from now when I won't check anymore
07:55 schestowitz-TR; popsci won't cover Linux often
07:55 schestowitz-TR; so even if there is an rss feed for such a category
07:55 Techrights-sec2; how is LF paying journalists to play along?
07:56 schestowitz-TR; it would be a wasste of b/w at both ends
07:56 schestowitz-TR; it is explained in the video
07:56 schestowitz-TR; it pays their employer (site)
07:56 Techrights-sec2; ok that it is explained in the video ought to be mentioned in the texxt
07:56 Techrights-sec2; to encourage listening to the video
08:02 schestowitz-TR; I have added a long footnote as that was technically easier
08:02 schestowitz-TR; I think we must repeat and repoeat the LF info
08:02 schestowitz-TR; in different ways and angles
08:02 schestowitz-TR; even if people get upset at LF they tend to forget and mayeb forgive after a while
08:02 schestowitz-TR; I mentions jperlow in passing
08:02 schestowitz-TR; along with various other things
08:02 schestowitz-TR; I forgot to mention patents in the video
08:02 schestowitz-TR; so compensated in the text later
08:07 Techrights-sec2; ack
08:08 schestowitz-TR; with lunuke with "LONG footmind-19"
08:08 schestowitz-TR; *foggymind
08:08 schestowitz-TR; and with the likes of FOSSForce bought/bribed
08:09 schestowitz-TR; the number of people capable of touching this subject is very small
08:09 schestowitz-TR; which is what they want of course
08:09 schestowitz-TR; never underestimate the power of liars with access to oversized budgets (EPO had BILLIONS, more than LF)
08:14 Techrights-sec2; yes
08:14 Techrights-sec2; Lunduke hasn't been all right for a very long time now
08:15 schestowitz-TR; if the wife is working, he might be OK
08:15 schestowitz-TR; see the above link (gemini) about not having a car at these times
08:15 schestowitz-TR; with gas price
08:16 Techrights-sec2; yes that was a good link
08:16 Techrights-sec2; unfortunately most US communities are designed so that it is physically
08:16 Techrights-sec2; impossible to operate without a car; and if one tries there will be social,
08:16 Techrights-sec2; legal, or dangers to contend with
08:16 Techrights-sec2; taxis would be the next alternative but that is still a form of car usage
08:27 Techrights-sec2; cars are the opposite of freedom
08:27 Techrights-sec2; and by car, that includes all the "light" trucks that people actually drive
08:27 Techrights-sec2; while still calling them cars
08:28 schestowitz-TR; cars, like kids, are a liability
08:28 schestowitz-TR; I have 5 nieces and newphews
08:28 schestowitz-TR; and they are iether miserable right now (in the US) or have learning/development perils
08:28 schestowitz-TR; which begets misery for the parents
08:33 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> "This capsule is now self-hosted on an ESP32 development board (ESP32-DevKitC V4) connected to a phone charger and Wi-Fi." gemini://gemini.dimakrasner.com/self-hosting-on-esp32.gmi
08:34 Techrights-sec2; both are common, but the former is ubquitous; businesses have maneuvered
08:34 Techrights-sec2; society into being pure misery for most adults and for all kids
08:34 Techrights-sec2; and it's worse for the kids because they have not learned to lie to themselves
08:34 Techrights-sec2; about their situation
08:34 Techrights-sec2; then looking ahead they see only trouble, at best
08:34 Techrights-sec2; we're in a situation now where "TikTok" (chinese business) and other social
08:34 Techrights-sec2; control media companies determine what is culture these days, not the other
08:34 Techrights-sec2; way around
08:34 Techrights-sec2; up until the 1980s the businesses (tv and such) reflected society and society
08:34 Techrights-sec2; and culture were determined by the population sort of organically
08:34 Techrights-sec2; now it's a top-down model
08:34 Techrights-sec2; anyway, the tech part of that is the abuse of addictive models via social
08:34 Techrights-sec2; control media to weaken and steer large volumes of individuals
08:34 Techrights-sec2; ESP32 is quite weak, it can barely handle the encryption necessary for the
08:34 Techrights-sec2; protocol and will crap out on the wireless quite often; though in all fairness
08:34 Techrights-sec2; WiFi is unsuitable even for general purpose computers and would be best
08:34 Techrights-sec2; removed and replaced with a completely different approach
08:37 schestowitz-TR; my pi is still on wired, a 'short leash' literally almost
08:37 schestowitz-TR; 1.2 m iirc
08:37 schestowitz-TR; i have other, longer cords
08:37 schestowitz-TR; but the reason isn't wifi being reliable only part of the time (it is actually very
08:37 schestowitz-TR; reliable here since the upgrades)
08:38 schestowitz-TR; the issue is the kernel I think
08:50 Techrights-sec2; wired is a lot faster
08:50 Techrights-sec2; if stuff is not moving around physically then wired connections are much less
08:50 Techrights-sec2; of a hassle and worth the speed increase
08:53 schestowitz-TR; I already told rianne twice that the pi won't be going back upstairs even when the wifi/kernel thing is tackled and it's wintertime (warmer
08:53 schestowitz-TR; upstairs, I might move back there in October)
08:53 schestowitz-TR; but the reason was not speed; it's just that I configures the scripts and the router for the wired setup, which is treated as separate from
08:53 schestowitz-TR; wifi
08:53 schestowitz-TR; and anyway I've learned to mostly ignore alerts on it and there is no screen attached.
08:53 schestowitz-TR; we used to have an alaer for when irc scrollback over gemini:// did not update
08:53 schestowitz-TR; I don't think this has been a problem for a while now...
08:53 schestowitz-TR; I'm about to hand over at work (9am)

08:56 schestowitz-TR; "head of Microsoft Philanthropies" = head of a crime syndicate disguised as a charity, much like the Bill and Lolita Gates Foundation https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/digital-security/3-5-million-cyber-security-jobs-will-open-up-by-2025/92447785 | Source: India Times

08:57 schestowitz-TR; without any additional comments I think that link might not send the right mesage
09:00 Techrights-sec2; ok
09:00 Techrights-sec2; their approach to "security" is job security (for them alone) and not actual
09:00 Techrights-sec2; computer security
09:01 schestowitz-TR; I shgall quote that
09:10 schestowitz-TR; I am greateful that it has not been too hot so far this year, but we do need more rain to avoid yellowing
09:10 schestowitz-TR; water shortages became a frequent theme in recent years
09:10 schestowitz-TR; 2018, 2021, maybe this year also
09:48 schestowitz-TR; in one word, is the oslo shooter an incel loser or a jihadist? the name alone says.
09:49 Techrights-sec2; jihadist
09:56 schestowitz-TR; one article I saw said "hate crime" in the headline
09:56 schestowitz-TR; that is technically correct
10:00 Techrights-sec2; by the way is there a link to the "original" joe rogan clip with RMS?
10:01 Techrights-sec2; what is the origin / source then?
10:01 schestowitz-TR; no, it was alwasy a cip of the whole
10:01 schestowitz-TR; so iow, I don't even have a link for the original
10:01 schestowitz-TR; I got the clip from yewtu.be
10:01 schestowitz-TR; it's like a spamnil, someone who uploads clips or portions of clips
10:02 Techrights-sec2; hmm suspicious
10:03 schestowitz-TR; speaking of spamnil, I checked this monring, no clickfraud storm for 3 weeks now
10:03 schestowitz-TR; maybe if called out on it he will hesitate
10:04 Techrights-sec2; I found the clip in youtube but there is no link to an original it seems
10:04 Techrights-sec2; like a composite
10:04 Techrights-sec2; spamnil is only around because of LF money
10:05 schestowitz-TR; go upstream
10:05 schestowitz-TR; LF is around because of [...] money
10:06 schestowitz-TR; and just like LF, he does this 'work' (PR/spam) on a 'Mac' with proprietary junk
10:06 schestowitz-TR; while some sign that says "Linux" hangs behind his back
10:06 schestowitz-TR; devaluing the brand
10:28 schestowitz-TR; minor (not important): for two weks now varghese had little output other than phone "reviews"
10:28 schestowitz-TR; nothing indicates he got these as gifts
10:28 schestowitz-TR; the editor is listed as stan beer again (he owns the site afaik)
10:28 schestowitz-TR; he took some shots in his home
10:28 schestowitz-TR; seems modest
10:28 schestowitz-TR; but I wish he would focus on rebuttals to FUD and corporate abuse
10:28 schestowitz-TR; after he attacked RMS I didn't see much good output from him
10:28 schestowitz-TR; seldom, some rebuttals to security FUSD
10:28 schestowitz-TR; and some puff pieces for Debian, which he likes

13:35 schestowitz-TR; spamnil does not know what "coming out" means; don't even try to say he's brown-nosing corporations
13:35 schestowitz-TR; he might not understand what that means
13:44 Techrights-sec2; ack
13:44 Techrights-sec2; I see no reason too look at his drivel
13:44 schestowitz-TR; as you said, it can be off-putting and harm the image of things
13:44 Techrights-sec2; s/at/for/
13:44 Techrights-sec2; that is why he is hired, imho
13:44 Techrights-sec2; to get people to sour on the brand
13:53 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> After taking Cardano money, plus Dreck Hondahl's new job, the LF nowadays increasingly associates "Linux" with NFT and other scams. by boosting "crypto" crap and cargo cults it lends to this idea that Linux is a "crank" thing...
14:16 Techrights-sec2; yep
14:16 Techrights-sec2; again, to get people ot sour on the trademark
14:45 schestowitz-TR; you will probablt tell me it's holiday
14:45 schestowitz-TR; or was a holiday
14:45 schestowitz-TR; but seriously, even my blog feed barely yeidl anything the past 3-4 days
14:45 schestowitz-TR; very very sparse
14:45 schestowitz-TR; it's partly why I slept so much
14:45 schestowitz-TR; I clean the feeds very fast
14:46 Techrights-sec2; yes it's been getting sparser; it's not just the holiday but the holiday was
14:46 Techrights-sec2; probably used to time the ramp down
14:48 schestowitz-TR; a lot of these are not news sites per se but blogs of people
14:48 schestowitz-TR; they too seem to have taken the foot off the pedal
14:48 schestowitz-TR; and without an inflow of information it is difficult to produce output
14:48 schestowitz-TR; the "blank page syndrome" was not an issue eyars ago, there was just a lack of time to cover all the important things
14:48 schestowitz-TR; even the "planets" of distros are reletively stale
14:48 schestowitz-TR; technically everything works
14:48 schestowitz-TR; but nobody is producing
14:48 Techrights-sec2; ack
14:48 Techrights-sec2; that's separate from the general news slowdow in some ways
14:48 Techrights-sec2; private individuals are ramping down, too
14:52 schestowitz-TR; I need to adjust or reconsider a bit how I cover feeds, or add new ones, of new set of filters to run through the general newss sites
14:52 schestowitz-TR; gulag noise was getting far too messy
14:52 schestowitz-TR; I really should have already abandoned it more than a year ago
14:52 schestowitz-TR; it was angst, strife, and timewasting most of the time
14:52 schestowitz-TR; for the mere chanc of finding the silver needle
14:52 schestowitz-TR; until 2019 (IIRC) I also searched for "open source" news and it ended up mainly openwashing, spam/PR, and mindless junk that
14:52 schestowitz-TR; does not even resemble journalism
14:53 schestowitz-TR; it had already gone downhill by then
14:53 schestowitz-TR; if it were not for tuxmachines, I'd likely have adopted another strategy or catch-words
14:53 schestowitz-TR; not that "Linux" gets us good ratio, esp. as there's this parasite called "LF"
14:53 schestowitz-TR; So I get vaccine news and "crypto" news and shit
14:53 schestowitz-TR; even in yewtu.be
14:53 schestowitz-TR; today I searched torvalds
14:53 schestowitz-TR; and got a ton of "crypto" junk from the past week
14:54 Techrights-sec2; Google News has such a low yield of relevant links that I find it hard to
14:54 Techrights-sec2; imagine that many people still use it even out of inertia; I certainly can't
14:54 Techrights-sec2; imagine that new people would begin using it since it is just crap
14:54 Techrights-sec2; the keyword "Linux" is attached to all kinds of crap unrelated to the actual
14:54 Techrights-sec2; topic of Linux, kernels, and similar
14:54 Techrights-sec2; I'm not sure what to say other than to comiserate
14:57 schestowitz-TR; worse yet, you saw LINUX.COM
14:57 schestowitz-TR; you get things like family stories and work police and...
14:57 schestowitz-TR; going under the word "Linux"... somehow
14:57 schestowitz-TR; Dan Allowing (WHiting) has no clue what Linux is
14:58 schestowitz-TR; and somehow he is now editor of that site
14:58 schestowitz-TR; reminds me of blacklash around 2008 when editor of LinuxInsider turned out not to be a Linux user
14:58 schestowitz-TR; *backlash
14:58 schestowitz-TR; nowadays "Linux" Insider produces lots of stenography for LF
14:58 schestowitz-TR; as if did a few days ago, too
14:58 schestowitz-TR; in fact, a high % of its "stories" there are LF fluff
14:58 schestowitz-TR; so that's another "Linux"-themed domain they got under their thumb
14:58 schestowitz-TR; like FOSS "Force"
14:58 Techrights-sec2; ack
14:58 Techrights-sec2; I haven't seen anything relevant at LinuxInsider for years
15:01 schestowitz-TR; it is mostly one man left
15:01 schestowitz-TR; jack
15:01 schestowitz-TR; and he used to do distro reviews and decet material
15:01 schestowitz-TR; now he barely posts once a week
15:01 schestowitz-TR; usually when LF "commissions" something or has event
15:01 schestowitz-TR; he would maybe writ e review about once a month
15:01 schestowitz-TR; I can guess which one pays the salary, however low
15:01 schestowitz-TR; he looks like roughly retirement age
15:01 schestowitz-TR; SJVN had a major operation
15:01 schestowitz-TR; they had to split open his back
15:01 schestowitz-TR; so zemlin can insert big giant Microsoft coins
15:01 schestowitz-TR; they called him "Zoltan"
15:05 schestowitz-TR; back in ~2005-06 Yahoo News wasn't too bad either
15:05 schestowitz-TR; what's left of the remnants of that is just a press releases farm
15:05 schestowitz-TR; worse than worthless
15:05 schestowitz-TR; back then there was far too much news... more than one person could properly keep up with
15:05 schestowitz-TR; even just on a narrow range of topics
15:08 schestowitz; LONG COVID is really something... https://lunduke.substack.com/p/google-pulls-plug-on-sentient-ai
15:08 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-lunduke.substack.com | Google pulls plug on "Sentient A.I." after it begins using Arch Linux
15:48 Techrights-sec2; I don't suppose Lunduke is likely to recover, it it's gone on this log
15:48 Techrights-sec2; ^long
15:48 Techrights-sec2; maybe he feels compelled to play to a fringe audience
15:50 schestowitz-TR; I've managed to scoop another 8 picks or so from a list of URLs I cannot possibly get in RSS form so check manually once a week
15:50 schestowitz-TR; mostly search results page or author pages
15:50 schestowitz-TR; I have code for detecting changes in the page, but RSS does a lot more than flag changes

16:28 schestowitz; [16:25] <SaphirJD> One question, would it be possible to manually drop my old nick so i could register it new?
16:28 schestowitz; MinceR: I think you did something like this before?
16:28 schestowitz; for leah?
16:30 MinceR; i have done it for something, yes
16:30 MinceR; i'm not quite sure what worked
16:31 MinceR; because just dropping the account keeps the nick unusable
16:31 MinceR; maybe someone who has access can reconfigure ergo so it doesn't hold on to dropped nicks like that
16:31 MinceR; at least i think it would be an improvement
16:32 SaphirJD; well if it does not work, its ok too
16:33 SaphirJD; i simply keep this nick then
16:33 MinceR; looks like it was nickserv sadrop and nickserv erase
16:33 MinceR; but i'm not sure if there was some additional complication
16:35 schestowitz-TR; btw, I've just made full backup of ircd
16:35 schestowitz-TR; I'm looking into this
16:35 SaphirJD; as far as i can see this network requires sasl authentication if one registers a nick, so dropping it, re-registering it and login with sasl should work then
16:35 schestowitz-TR; gives me a change to make a backup anyway
16:35 schestowitz-TR; *chance
16:36 SaphirJD; anyway, my old nick i would love to own again was Saphir - i registered it in 2021
16:36 schestowitz-TR; in our db we have saphir
16:36 schestowitz-TR; and sphirJD
16:36 schestowitz-TR; which one do you want?
16:36 SaphirJD; Saphir :)
16:37 schestowitz-TR; the passwors is hashed
16:37 schestowitz-TR; as it should be
16:38 MinceR; seems to me i'm logging in fine without SASL
16:38 SaphirJD; well for me /nickserv identify password does not work, i only can login over sasl
16:38 schestowitz-TR; there is also sapphir
16:39 SaphirJD; oh my....Also from me, i registered 2 times - but as i was unable to use my accounts as said, i moved away and did not visit here anymore :D
16:39 schestowitz; ircd:/home/ircd/ergo# grep exists ircd.db | wc -l
16:40 schestowitz; 193
16:40 SaphirJD; anyway, i really would be thankful if it would be possible to use Saphir again
16:40 schestowitz; anyway, with hashes there I cannot send you your password
16:40 schestowitz; nor should I be able to
16:40 schestowitz; so that's OK
16:40 SaphirJD; well the simplest method would be to drop the nick as said, that should be possible
16:42 SaphirJD; https://github.com/ergochat/ergo/blob/master/irc/nickserv.go - perhaps this does help, there is the command unregister and erase
16:42 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ergo/nickserv.go at master ergochat/ergo GitHub
16:43 SaphirJD; toquote - ERASE deletes all records of an account, allowing it to be re-registered.
16:48 schestowitz-TR; I'd do it if our irc guru was available online
16:48 schestowitz-TR; just in case it goes wrong
16:48 schestowitz-TR; she knows the ins and outs of ergodb
16:49 schestowitz-TR; ergoirc
16:49 SaphirJD; unrgister and erase shold do no damage, as it just wipes out the specified account, its just the admin variant of the user drop command
16:50 SaphirJD; theoretically even a /msg nickserv drop Saphir should be doing its job :D
16:50 SaphirJD; as an admin must be theoretically be able to do that without requiring the user password

17:24 schestowitz; he lives in fantasy land
17:44 schestowitz-TR; shallow people who charge 3000 euros an hour

18:01 schestowitz-TR; what is the word for an incel who gets rejectd from the job market rather than women (or both)?
18:01 Techrights-sec2; not sure, a microsofter?
18:05 schestowitz-TR; off-topic-ish speculation:
18:05 schestowitz-TR; freom what IU saw of Micosofters
18:05 schestowitz-TR; they're not very bright engineers not very good kids either
18:05 schestowitz-TR; they overcompensate by pursuit of moneyh
18:05 schestowitz-TR; they don't care if the company is evil either
18:05 schestowitz-TR; and in job interviiew type Z looks for type Zs
18:05 schestowitz-TR; so you end up with a bunch of money obsessed drones who aren't even particularly
18:05 schestowitz-TR; good at programming
18:05 schestowitz-TR; nor at other disciplines
18:05 schestowitz-TR; you get a blank stare if you try to explain SF to them
18:05 schestowitz-TR; like RMS tried
18:05 schestowitz-TR; very naive
18:05 schestowitz-TR; all to lose
18:05 schestowitz-TR; nothing to gain
18:06 schestowitz-TR; if he thought Microsoft would take suggestion from RMS
18:06 schestowitz-TR; Jesus: "yo Romans! Did I tell you the story about... ouch!! Stop poking me"
18:06 schestowitz-TR; I remember Assange joking about him being made head of NSA or CIA or something
18:06 schestowitz-TR; we ended up doing private communication about how tactless that "joke" was
18:06 schestowitz-TR; nope
18:06 schestowitz-TR; and dishonest as hell
18:06 schestowitz-TR; on average
18:06 schestowitz-TR; the job selects for and cultivates sociopaths
18:06 schestowitz-TR; their technical skills tend to be minimal as with their general education

18:17 schestowitz-TR; Gulag goes down a similar route for image restitution
18:17 schestowitz-TR; but not to the same extent
18:17 schestowitz-TR; the problem is also the uni administraors that allow this
18:17 schestowitz-TR; their eyes are a pair of dollar signs
18:17 schestowitz-TR; many are not skilled in sciences
18:17 schestowitz-TR; they are appointed on the basis of pseudoscience diplomas
18:17 schestowitz-TR; like the epo shurning out many fake patents they strive to have many fake graduates
18:17 schestowitz-TR; and their risk, to them, isn't running afoul but getting caught or perception changing
18:29 schestowitz; [03:13] <Source> Or like Alex Weaponized his alcoholism to not be held accountable because it makes him sad and want to drink[03:13]
18:29 schestowitz; * schestowitz rarely drinks
18:29 schestowitz; [03:14] <Source> Alex's friends got together and held an intervention for his addictions
18:29 schestowitz; [03:14] <Source> But they won't do the same thing for something that's about to send him to prison
18:29 schestowitz; [03:15] <Source> And please don't quote anything I've said in here
18:29 schestowitz; [03:15] <schestowitz> I won't
18:29 schestowitz; [03:15] <Source> I am completely open to the idea that Alex has some sort of personality disorder that needs treatment and that can be forgiven
18:29 schestowitz; [03:16] <schestowitz> oh, wait
18:30 schestowitz; [03:16] <Source> but what has been probably the worst part of the situation is the number of people that are bystanders
18:30 schestowitz; [03:16] <schestowitz> a few times I read that alex jones
18:30 schestowitz; [03:16] <schestowitz> so maybe I responded based on this false assumption
18:30 schestowitz; [03:16] <Source> Oh no I haven't been talking about Alex Jones at all since the part about the cyborgs
18:30 schestowitz; [03:16] <Source> I think it's a funny idea with a grain of truth
18:30 schestowitz; [03:19] <Source> You know it's like a humanity is scrambling to get on a life boat that is eternal life
18:30 schestowitz; [03:19] <schestowitz> well, not a new concept
18:30 schestowitz; [03:19] <schestowitz> like kings in egypt with their tombs
18:30 schestowitz; [03:19] <schestowitz> they end up in some museums, at best...
18:30 schestowitz; [03:20] <schestowitz> power for a humsn is temporary
18:30 schestowitz; [03:20] <Source> I'm sure they'll look at cryogenics the same way in the future
