11:03 DaemonFC; schestowitz, I tend to get caught up in synonyms and antonyms whenever I look up the etymology of a word.
11:03 DaemonFC; I don't know why. I just do.
11:04 DaemonFC; Yesterday, Mandy asked me what I meant by using the term "stool pigeon".
11:04 DaemonFC; So I rattled off ten more words or so and just confused him more.
11:05 DaemonFC; I was talking about the law that requires psychiatrists in Illinois to report anyone they think is really depressed or angry to the state police so that they can revoke a FOID card. There's mandatory reporting, which means if you say anything to them that's on a list, they have to report it within 48 hours.
11:05 DaemonFC; And there's voluntary reporting, where they can just log in and inform on you at-will.
11:06 DaemonFC; I said if anything ever happened to my psychiatrist, I'd probably go see one in Wisconsin since we're close enough and they don't have the stool pigeon law.
11:07 DaemonFC; It just stops people from telling the psychiatrist how they feel and blowing off steam.
11:07 DaemonFC; Like, "Can you believe the nerve of my wife? She left me, wiped out the bank account, took the kids, took the house, took the furniture, took my retirement plan, and took the ice cube trays out of the goddamned fridge. I swear to God I'm mad enough to strangle her.".
11:08 DaemonFC; Stool pigeon law kicks in, and a few months later. MONTHS....so if you were actually going to go shoot her, it wouldn't even stop you, the state police revoke your FOID card and order you to surrender your guns to be destroyed.

11:10 DaemonFC; So for people who don't know about the law, it just creates problems without solutions, and for people who do know the law, they'll probably just lie to their psychiatrist and then later "Well, he never said anything about being angry.".
11:11 DaemonFC; The law actually makes violence more likely because people will withhold their true feelings, maybe from the only person who could calm them down and talk some sense into them.
11:12 DaemonFC; Because the stool pigeon law moves at the speed of government, it gives people up to five months to actually go shoot someone if they meant it.

11:18 DaemonFC; The irony of forcing people to go out of the state to talk to a psychiatrist who isn't a stoolie shouldn't be lost on abortion promoters who encourage women to break the laws in their home state to get an abortion in Illinois.
11:19 DaemonFC; It's the same sort of government interference in healthcare, but they target gun owners and the mentally ill, not people who are butchering babies.
11:19 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: focus on tech
11:19 DaemonFC; So smaller group and with nobody to speak for them that matters.

11:19 DaemonFC; A lot of them won't see patients in Illinois and I'm kind of wondering if the stoolie law is the reason why.
11:20 DaemonFC; They don't want to be forced to comply with it.
11:21 DaemonFC; For Illinois to have jurisdiction, the state must be involved somehow. So that means you physically have to take the train up to Kenosha to go see a psychiatrist who won't be bound by the stoolie law.
11:23 DaemonFC; The nice thing is I don't have one of those shitass Obamacare plans that often leaves you with no in-network healthcare coverage if you leave the _county_ much less the state.
11:23 DaemonFC; So I have options that many people do not.
11:24 DaemonFC; I was looking on their train wreck of a website, schestowitz-TR2

11:25 DaemonFC; And for a county with almost a million people on it, there's only three insurers you can really do business with, and if you want to try to contain costs, you'll have to buy a plan that forces you to use, say, Northwestern Medicine's doctors and hospitals.
11:26 DaemonFC; But when you have a heart attack and the paramedics have minutes to get you somewhere, they're not going to drive 10-15 miles to get you to a NM hospital if Vista Medical Center is 2 miles.
11:27 DaemonFC; So they take you to Vista and your Obamacare plan says they're not covering it at in-network rates because "you chose poorly" (yes, that was an Indiana Jones reference).
11:27 DaemonFC; Nevermind the fact that it was a medical emergency, seconds counted, and you may not have even been in a position to speak.
11:28 DaemonFC; Or even worse, you go out of the county and need medical care at a place that doesn't even have a Northwestern Medicine clinic.
11:28 DaemonFC; I mean, how often do people leave counties, anyway? Then you have to file appeals, and the insurance company doesn't want to pay, so they figure out ways to "adjust" the claim so they still don't have to.
11:29 DaemonFC; This is what Obummer/Brandon have left us with over here.
11:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, Then someone at Blue Cross told me to "use the app" to look at Mandy's claims.

11:33 DaemonFC; So they actually paid some of his lab bills, and then Quest Diagnostics turned him over to a collection agency which put the bills on his credit report, marked "UNPAID", so I started challenging them back and forth saying "This was paid!". And that started a tug of war with Quest going "No it wasn't!", then me going "Was too!", then them, "Was not!....Was too...Was not.... and then I handed the credit bureaus EOB letters from the insurance
11:33 DaemonFC; company and it all fell off his reports because at that point Quest went "Oh yeah, THOSE payments....well shit.".
11:34 DaemonFC; Extortion. They don't like what the insurance pays, so they take the money and then "forget" that they were already paid, and come after you to double dip.
11:35 DaemonFC; And of course, the way credit bureaus work in America is sort of like a protection racket. Right?
11:35 DaemonFC; You get a bill in the mail and go "Hey wait a minute. I don't owe you this much and here's why!" so they just go ahead and turn it over to collections, the bureau doesn't verify anything, and simply reports false information.
11:36 DaemonFC; This is like the Chicago Outfit going around kindly offering that your business won't catch fire if you pay them fire protection money.
11:37 DaemonFC; It's very hard to keep "clean" credit reports, even if you pay your bills. Because nothing prevents them from lying.

11:38 activelow; schestowitz-TR2: comments on this gcc-11 and the mitigations?
11:39 DaemonFC; I can't believe that they're talking about "premium" computers that you can do nothing with and you're also supposed to tolerate that some locked down copy of Windows is there.
11:39 activelow; 1) it's a design flaw of the hardware, and this is where it should be coped with
11:39 DaemonFC; These aren't even some cheap pile of crap where you go "Hey, it's shit, but all I need is a web browser anyway.".
11:39 activelow; to my limited understanding it is complicated instruction decoders and pipelining at fault
11:39 schestowitz; I see..
11:39 activelow; to "boost performance", and most often present shiny useless benchmarks
11:39 schestowitz; well, you seem to know gcc internally a lot more than me
11:40 schestowitz; is phoronix on point?
11:40 DaemonFC; GCC has always had questionable optimization routines that always almost make you pay ten times as much somewhere else along the way as what the optimization was worth.
11:40 activelow; in practice, such as ARM, still offer non-pipelined CPUs, the "low end" ones often do not do it, and are not prone to speculative execution, such as cortex a53

11:41 DaemonFC; So if, in fact, Intel gets to put them straight into the microarchitecture optimizers, then I'm not surprised.

11:41 activelow; *out of
11:41 DaemonFC; The good news is that almost nobody uses the micro-architecture optimizer flags.
11:41 activelow; 2) i do not bother with gcc updates anymore, it's a platform to push and support proprietary vendor extensions
11:42 activelow; the last GCC version barely acceptable is gcc-4.7.4, my opinion
11:42 DaemonFC; Because they will limit overall compatibility of the compiled code and then THAT isn't worth it until and unless the feature becomes generic enough to x86 that it's okay to put in the generic optimizer routines.
11:42 DaemonFC; And when you no longer care about old processors anyway.
11:44 DaemonFC; If Intel or AMD adds a feature to their CPUs, it usually doesn't matter much for 10-15 years, until the other one has it too and the hardware that doesn't is so old that nobody cares anymore.
11:44 DaemonFC; Fedora has been one of the most aggressive general purpose GNU/Linux distributions about breaking older CPUs.

11:56 schestowitz; can we focus on one topic?

12:06 DaemonFC; schestowitz, I got my first two batches of COVID tests.
12:06 DaemonFC; It'd be nice if they bothered to do this from the beginning when catching any particular case and isolating meant a lot more.
12:07 *gullfaxi[m] (~cuginogio@2001:470:69fc:105::1:6ac8) has joined #techrights
12:08 DaemonFC; When you're dealing with a million active cases and people catch them on the tests early and isolate, it'll slow it down. When you're dealing with 30 million active cases (10% of the population, almost) and you catch a few and isolate them, it hardly matters.
12:08 DaemonFC; The Rockefeller Foundation is passing them out to majority-black ZIP codes.
12:08 DaemonFC; But they don't actually say it that way.
12:09 DaemonFC; They call it the CDC "social vulnerability index".
12:09 DaemonFC; Smells like bullshit.
12:10 DaemonFC; Their program seems to be designed to just let the shit hit the fan everywhere white people live.
12:10 DaemonFC; I wonder where all of this money of theirs for the test kids _really_ comes from.
12:10 DaemonFC; Because they're not cheap.
12:10 DaemonFC; They cost $9 each.
12:10 DaemonFC; Adds up.
12:10 DaemonFC; Maybe they got it from Brandon.
12:11 DaemonFC; He can't very well say "It's a federal program and if you're white you get four test kits and that's that, but if you're black, you get 9 of them.".
12:12 DaemonFC; It would be a disaster. But slipping some taxpayer money and letting a "foundation" supply the rest is better optics.
12:13 DaemonFC; On the scale of federal programs passing out free shit in reverse racism programs it's small, but it still means something.
12:15 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Here's another article on Wikipedia that proves it's fucking toxic and you should ignore their donation banners.
12:15 DaemonFC; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_racism
12:15 TR Bot; Reverse racism - Wikipedia
12:16 DaemonFC; "Belief" in reverse racism is high in the United States because they're so in your face about it that not even propaganda on the "news" can brainwash everyone into not seeing it every day.
12:16 DaemonFC; Thinking that other people owe you something because you're here is a fairly backwards and entitled worldview.
12:17 DaemonFC; And "making gains" that way is not legitimate.
12:18 DaemonFC; It's just like the judges that get in there and the list of charges is like 8 felonies and 10 misdemeanors and they cut the guy loose to "reverse racism" then a white guy goes in with 1 misdemeanor and the same judge is like "$10,000 bail and oh I haven't even started with you yet!

12:21 DaemonFC; But, on the other hand, policies that are dressed up as "racial justice" often ensnare the people that they purport to help. Gutting standardized testing so more people who aren't very smart can load them up with student loan debt....passing "gun reform" laws in Illinois where 80% of the people sentenced to prison and/or the felony version of the law are black....
12:21 DaemonFC; The Democrats are a very very racist party.
12:22 DaemonFC; Those black people, if they're not doing anything malicious with the gun, would be better off in Indiana, where there is no Felony Agg UUW law for simple carrying.
12:22 DaemonFC; Very progressive, I know!
12:23 DaemonFC; In fact, if you're not a malicious person you can just go pay $100 and get a lifetime open carry permit there, and then they can't do anything.
12:24 DaemonFC; You really can't argue with the facts because the facts don't care, and the fact is that Illinois openly admits that 80% of the victims of this law are black, in prison, and they have no intention whatsoever to let any of them out, even if that was the only thing they've EVER done.
12:24 DaemonFC; They're making it worse, using biometrics and social media.
12:25 DaemonFC; The FOID Amendments Act ended up passing with "optional" biometrics and without the amendment to mandate that the Illinois State Police check your Facebook and Twitter accounts.
12:25 DaemonFC; But they _can_ look at them if you use them, and use whatever they find there to deny your FOID card, or revoke it.
12:26 DaemonFC; So it's just another reason to delete those accounts. They can only ever cause you trouble.
12:27 DaemonFC; Let's see, depression, anxiety, advertising, government spooks, private investigators looking for dirt on disability claimants, and employers looking for potential troublemakers to fire/not hire.
12:27 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Did I miss anything?

12:47 DaemonFC; One reason Putin even needs this distraction is because of economic sanctions that are very unpopular in Russia and are putting pressure on him to "look strong" about "something".
12:47 DaemonFC; Domestically, he can do a lot, like run fake/corrupt elections and poison and jail anyone who even runs against him in the sham election.

14:46 DaemonFC; "You're just doing this because I'm black!" is literally the fucking shittiest excuse of all time, but it's all they know, so every time they break a law, that's where things go.
14:46 DaemonFC; When I was awaiting my trial on the failure to yield, there was a black guy in there.
14:47 DaemonFC; Pulled over for doing like 90 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone.
14:47 DaemonFC; WHich potentially can send you to PRISON.
14:47 DaemonFC; Not jail, PRISON. Prison with a P.
14:48 DaemonFC; And the stupid asshole is in there going "You pointed that speed thermometer at me because I'm black! You were profiling me!".
14:48 DaemonFC; Yes, he said "speed thermometer". And the cop is sitting there on the witness stand with a "Jesus Christ. Fuck this guy." expression on his face, saying "I don't know what a speed thermometer is. Do you mean my LIDAR system?".
14:49 DaemonFC; The guy: "Yeah yeah yeah, your speed thermometer. You pointed it at me because I'm black and you're a cop and you don't like black people!".
14:49 DaemonFC; And so everyone is sick of this guy and the prosecutor stands up and offers him a plea down to simple speeding, which is only a $100 fine.
14:50 DaemonFC; And the judge says, "This is a gift. I would just find you guilty of criminal speeding if the trial proceeds so I suggest you take this.".
14:50 DaemonFC; And the guy does, but won't stop and shouts, "Man this is some bullshit!" at the judge.
14:51 DaemonFC; Who cuts off his microphone and says "I cut off your microphone because if you continue I will have to hold you in contempt of court.".

14:53 DaemonFC; So there you go. The very racist police man who hates black people stuck his "speed thermometer" in the air, hatred flowing through his veins and his heart, and other various internal organs. At which point, he pulled the guy over for reckless endangerment speeding, which is a code word for "because he's black".

14:54 DaemonFC; And then they refused to hold him in contempt for calling the judge's decision "bullshit" in open court.
14:54 DaemonFC; You see how this system is very racist I'm sure.
14:55 DaemonFC; The only reason my ticket was dismissed when the police, judge, and prosecutor showed up loaded for bear, is because the black guys in the other car, who don't show up for their own trials, missed mine.

15:07 DaemonFC; One wrong move and you have to fire someone for job performance and then it turns into a civil rights lawsuit.
15:08 DaemonFC; The bad actors create barriers to employment that affect a lot of other people.
15:08 DaemonFC; Because they take advantage of everything that's out there in a campaign of revenge.
15:09 DaemonFC; And you almost can't even blame them because "society" as a whole was stupid enough to set things up to happen this way.
15:10 DaemonFC; When nobody is responsible for something, it goes to hell because everyone will abuse it and take more than their share. It's called the tragedy of the commons.
15:10 DaemonFC; You tell people there's no fee for letting cattle graze on that land. So they bring lots and lots of cattle, then the grass is gone and there's none for anyone.
15:11 DaemonFC; It's a classic example of a market distortion, and it works like that anywhere you set up perverse incentives or perverse barriers.
15:11 DaemonFC; If people could take on a second job, but the "punishment" for doing so is the tax department takes half of their additional earnings, then there's no reason to take the job because it now pays less than what the free time is worth.
15:13 DaemonFC; You'd think this would be a concept that a 9 year old could understand, and in my generation they could understand it.
15:14 DaemonFC; I had a job delivering newspapers. I got paid very little to deliver the paper, but if I could sign up a new subscriber, I could make almost as much as doing the entire route that morning. So I only took a very small route and then signed up a lot of new subscribers on other people's routes.
15:14 DaemonFC; Because I didn't want to have to deliver them papers every morning for a few cents and dramatically increase my workload, so let someone else deal with their route getting busier for hardly any money. I took the commission and left someone else with the work.
15:15 DaemonFC; Sly people do better than hard working people. It just seems to be a common theme.
15:15 schestowitz; "I had a job delivering newspapers"
15:15 schestowitz; how many people still have them delivered?

18:35 DaemonFC; MinceR, That's what the state is, you know.
18:36 DaemonFC; A gigantic pest. It forces you to pay for it, and if you're so broke you get something from it, suits them fine.
18:36 DaemonFC; Now millions depend on the state even though their life still sucks.
18:36 DaemonFC; Can't take any action against it or the checks stop.
18:37 DaemonFC; There was an old lady holding a picket sign against an oil pipeline.
18:37 DaemonFC; Wasn't even getting in their way.
18:37 MinceR; +
18:37 DaemonFC; Didn't threaten anyone.
18:37 DaemonFC; Just holding a sign.
18:38 MinceR; it's another gang, only better armed than the others
18:38 DaemonFC; So the police mace her, haul her off to jail, and then reported to Social Security that she was booked, even though she was there for less than an hour.
18:38 DaemonFC; And Social Security stopped her retirement checks and made her prove she wasn't in jail, and then never paid her for the month they took them away.
18:39 DaemonFC; The police can report to Social Security that you're an inmate in their jail.
18:39 DaemonFC; And that can cause Social Security to stop paying you, even if you are to be released immediately and have not even been tried for anything yet.
18:40 DaemonFC; Since Social Security pays very little, even missing one check can cause a person to go homeless or without any food or heat that month.
18:41 DaemonFC; So the cops just did it to be even nastier to her, even though saying she was an "inmate" to the Social Security Administration was a lie.
18:41 DaemonFC; And therefore, the police committed a federal offense.
18:43 XRevan86; I really like that the software of choice was Linphone for Android. But I mentioned that a year ago for sure :).

19:13 TR Bot; Elton John - Wikipedia
19:13 DaemonFC; "In 2008, John said he preferred civil partnerships to marriage for gay people,[252]"
19:13 DaemonFC; Well, it makes a difference in the law.
19:14 DaemonFC; People said, "Why do they have to call it marriage? We could just call it a civil union and keep it at that.". and that's fine in many cases, except that federal law doesn't say anything about civil unions, so they don't exist as far as the federal government is concerned, even if they're entirely equal to the legal rights of marriage in your state.
19:15 DaemonFC; So if you get a civil union, you can't sponsor an immigrant, file a joint tax return at the federal level, or conduct any business with Social Security like a married couple would.
19:15 DaemonFC; And if the feds put you on trial, they could force your "partner" to testify against you.
19:16 DaemonFC; So some of them were fine with trapping us in civil unions, saying it was the same thing, and then not really.
19:16 DaemonFC; And they never tried to amend federal law to refer to civil unions.
19:17 DaemonFC; So they knew it wasn't equal and never tried to make it equal.
19:17 DaemonFC; Maybe if it was equal except in name, nobody would have bothered to sue.
19:17 XRevan86; schestowitz: Have ye noticed that verbally English speakers, when expressing surprise, often mention cheeses?
19:17 XRevan86; They never do in writing :)
19:17 XRevan86; - Cheeses!
19:18 DaemonFC; I also don't understand need to reclaim a word.
19:18 DaemonFC; Like, Mr. Gafam uses the word "partner".
19:18 DaemonFC; Like, if we say "partner" we'll "take it back" from "them".
19:19 DaemonFC; Of course, "they" continue to use it and it makes them look like idiots, and they are idiots, and being idiots means that subtlety or irony or sarcasm and other simple concepts are lost on them.
19:20 DaemonFC; So they wouldn't understand the attempt to neutralize a spiteful term by "taking it back".
19:20 DaemonFC; But many of them do recognize an insult being hurled back at them.
19:20 XRevan86; DaemonFC: Elton John is British, things can potentially be different there.
19:20 DaemonFC; So when a married person starts saying "your friend", I point at their spouse and say "your friend" the next time I have an excuse to work that into a sentence.
19:21 XRevan86; So, "the law" can mean a different thing for him than for you.
19:22 MinceR; "I alone will fight for Jesus Christ
19:22 MinceR; With sword so sharp I can make cheeses sliced."
19:22 DaemonFC; Yeah, they don't have any concept of federalism, I don't think, and that's causing a great deal of problems of its own.
19:23 DaemonFC; A national government that doesn't recognize local/regional variations in law, customs, etc. tends to brew resentment.
19:23 DaemonFC; It's a one size fits all situation, and as anyone knows, one size never fits all.
19:24 DaemonFC; The awful part of that is that the US federal government spent hundreds of years turning itself into that anyway, and THEN you have to live under a state as well.
19:25 DaemonFC; The federal government neglects every state's needs. The reason DC residents can complain more is they have no representation at all, not even the crummy, narcissistic, gerrymandered representation of millionaires and billionaires that states send to Washington.
19:25 XRevan86; DaemonFC: A surgeon that performed female circumcision on a little girl was effectively pardoned despite being in clear violation of the law, the justification given is that one should understand local cultural norms.
19:26 XRevan86; (that was against the mother's wishes, but a Chechen father had his own plans)
19:27 XRevan86; In the US a good exampls of one size not being fitted onto all is all the chaos and different procedures used in the general elections.
19:27 DaemonFC; It's not terribly different, in practice.
19:28 DaemonFC; There's different laws about getting a mail-in ballot, or if you need an ID to vote, or when you can register by.
19:28 XRevan86; It's practically impossible to assess whether the process is fair, because the process differs so much from region to region.
19:28 DaemonFC; Oh it's not fair.
19:28 DaemonFC; In fact, it's completely unfair.
19:29 DaemonFC; They only want "partisans" (read idiots) voting.
19:29 XRevan86; DaemonFC: What if computers are involved? Who is going to give a guarantee that the system is secure everywhere?
19:29 DaemonFC; So they design laws steering more of one of the two sides to the polls than the other.
19:29 DaemonFC; <XRevan86> DaemonFC: What if computers are involved? Who is going to give a guarantee that the system is secure everywhere?
19:29 DaemonFC; I doubt that the process is wholly fake.
19:29 DaemonFC; But they do pass laws to nudge things.
19:30 XRevan86; DaemonFC: "wholly" <- that's the thing.
19:31 XRevan86; Elections should have high standards, and someone should be responsible for when they're not met.
19:32 DaemonFC; I talked to Mayor Tom Henry in Fort Wayne about why he wasn't running for Governor of Indiana.
19:32 DaemonFC; He said he thought about it, but he'd have no control at all over the state legislature even if he won, and as the mayor of a large city, he actually had a lot of control over the legislative process, and now he has more than he did then.
19:32 DaemonFC; So no incentive to move up.
19:33 DaemonFC; The only thing that would happen is the legislature would start overriding all of his vetoes and he'd have no power at all.
19:33 XRevan86; I just find annoying how the key decision-making instrument can be so kind of broken.
19:34 DaemonFC; Indiana is kind of a special case though.
19:34 XRevan86; But I live in a dictatorship, so things can definitely be worse than that.
19:34 DaemonFC; In many ways, the Governor is actually only a figurehead.
19:35 DaemonFC; Even if, during his term(s) vacancies happened on the courts, the legislature would rather leave them empty than let him appoint anyone.
19:35 DaemonFC; There's no minimum number of judges on the state's supreme court to have a quorum, and they're all Republicans now.
19:35 DaemonFC; They probably wouldn't all die or retire, so the court could function with vacancies.
19:36 DaemonFC; The Governor has very little authority except to execute the laws, and he doesn't even really have much of a veto power.
19:36 DaemonFC; In Illinois, the system is very different.
19:37 DaemonFC; If the Governor vetoes something, it takes a two-thirds majority to override, so some get overruled, and some don't. And there's negotiation, and the Governor can get bills changed.
19:37 DaemonFC; I've always wondered why Indiana even has a Governor.
19:38 DaemonFC; You know, Nebraska only has a state senate, not a state house.
19:38 DaemonFC; It was combined to save money during the Depression.
19:38 DaemonFC; The legislature in Indiana has been on a tear against their own Governor!
19:39 DaemonFC; They're passing an anti-vaccine mandate now, and thy got rid of the face masks a long time ago.
19:39 DaemonFC; Not enough people in Indiana could possibly die of COVID to matter in the elections and they all support policies that will kill more of them.
19:39 DaemonFC; So there's no reason to do anything else.

22:06 schestowitz-TR2; it';s chilling effect
22:06 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, How's this?
22:06 schestowitz-TR2; in some gulagtube channels people dit their own videos to remove the f word
22:06 schestowitz-TR2; who they are protecting/? maybe themselves from moderators
22:06 DaemonFC; We should cover this. Goes to bad behavior and by people affiliated closely to Microsoft.
22:06 bnchs___; they say frick instead of fuck
22:06 DaemonFC; As well as Facebook!
22:06 bnchs___; and poop instead of shit
22:07 schestowitz-TR2; wow
22:07 schestowitz-TR2; the kids will be safe now
22:07 schestowitz-TR2; their patents never say "shit" or ""fuck" around the house... or the phone
22:07 schestowitz-TR2; the kids will never be exposed to such words
22:08 DaemonFC; Nailed a typo.
22:08 schestowitz-TR2; this is all very 1984
22:08 schestowitz-TR2; with approved words
22:08 schestowitz-TR2; and doubly-ungood etc.
22:09 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: thanks
22:09 schestowitz-TR2; at least this is on topic
22:10 bnchs___; there's games like GTA with the most outlandish shit ever, and kids play it all the time
22:10 bnchs___; while gulagtubers aren't supposed to say fuck
22:10 SomeH4x0r; what is the point of "protecting" children?
22:10 SomeH4x0r; oh, I see. Moderators.
22:11 DaemonFC; The dialog for most of the GTA games includes "fuck".
22:12 SomeH4x0r; I was "protected" by my parents to some extent. Now I'm going to have issues adapting to the life for years, if I don't die earlier.
22:12 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: checking..
22:12 SomeH4x0r; like not letting me socialize with random people
22:12 DaemonFC; I got GTA Vice City for the Playstation 2 and my dad walked in and said that was just terrible.
22:13 DaemonFC; I think I was in the middle of beating up a hooker to get my money back.
22:13 DaemonFC; The games are just an outlet really.
22:13 bnchs___; i used to play gta vice city on my shitty PC, because it bundled with it (along with css and hldm)
22:13 schestowitz; "world-renowned"
22:13 schestowitz; dash?
22:13 MinceR; "Hey, Ron! Can we say 'fuck' in the game?"
22:14 DaemonFC; Fixed.
22:14 DaemonFC; <MinceR> "Hey, Ron! Can we say 'fuck' in the game?"
22:14 DaemonFC; Well, they say worse.
22:14 MinceR; not in Doom :>
22:15 DaemonFC; Yes, but Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris used a WAD editor.
22:15 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: there was another famous case
22:15 schestowitz-TR2; infamous rather
22:15 DaemonFC; So if you play Doom you will definitely shoot up a school.
22:15 MinceR; lol
22:15 schestowitz-TR2; parents called cops about kid wanting to jump out the window
22:15 SomeH4x0r; some IRC channel somewhere has a wordfilter which kickbans people who say fuck. Left it because it breaks conversations (the bans are unset later, but people leave earlier)
22:15 schestowitz-TR2; the police shot the boy fatally in the gut
22:15 schestowitz-TR2; the parents regretted even phoning
22:15 DaemonFC; Well, yeah....
22:15 bnchs___; they said nigger on GTA 4, spic/kike on GTA 5. and nobody bats an eye
22:16 schestowitz; I'd put dash in "mentally-ill" too
22:16 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, When they did the "wellness check" on me where they started cussing and shouting, it wasn't because anyone cared how I was doing.
22:16 DaemonFC; My ex was trying to use the police for harassment and figured they might carry me off.
22:16 DaemonFC; All they did do was ruin my night.
22:17 schestowitz; "And even if you <strong><em>survive</em></strong> the police encounter"
22:17 SomeH4x0r; bnchs___: some people think "nigger" is ok when said by black. Fuck anti-white (or others) racism.
22:17 schestowitz; Ian Murdock
22:17 MinceR; some people are wrong
22:17 DaemonFC; So he disappeared one day with my laptop and some other stuff (eventually got it back) and then told the police I was stealing his Social Security check out of the mail.
22:17 schestowitz; BTW
22:17 bnchs___; SomeH4x0r, thats the one thing i don't get about the word barrier, you're not allowed to say this word if you're not this race
22:17 schestowitz; someone reported me to Twitter as suicide risk or something months ago
22:17 bnchs___; isn't that racism?
22:17 schestowitz; this was basely
22:18 schestowitz; *baseless
22:18 schestowitz; likely some troll
22:18 DaemonFC; So they came back and started accusing me of that too. And I said, "He gets it direct deposited and Social Security doesn't even issue checks anymore.".
22:18 schestowitz; trying to digitally "SWAT" me
22:18 SomeH4x0r; bnchs___: it is, but they will claim that it isn't even a real thing.
22:18 XRevan86; SomeH4x0r: At least in media where only sound or text is present they also cannot get away with that, because no one is going to spend time verifying one's heritage.
22:18 DaemonFC; Yeah. If you say "Nazi" they report you to Twitter for "violating German law".
22:18 DaemonFC; It's not illegal to say "Nazi" in Germany.
22:19 MinceR; 01 231754 < bnchs___> isn't that racism?
22:19 MinceR; yes, it is
22:19 DaemonFC; If you're distributing propaganda, I think, or things like that.
22:19 schestowitz; DaemonFC: you mention billness
22:19 schestowitz; bill fainted
22:19 schestowitz; when he saw the reports about him being mates with Epstein
22:20 schestowitz; he reportedly fainted
22:20 DaemonFC; I don't know why.
22:20 schestowitz; but didn't end up, "well,m he's dead"
22:20 schestowitz; the wife contacted divorce lawyers
22:20 DaemonFC; It's not like they're ever going to do anything to Bill.
22:20 DaemonFC; Sham marriage.
22:20 bnchs___; "only blacks are allowed to say it because the whites said it to them 300 years ago or something"
22:20 DaemonFC; He was fucking another woman every day in the 90s.
22:21 DaemonFC; Even bought another Mercedes she didn't know about.

22:21 XRevan86; All ancient history, right?
22:21 DaemonFC; I don't know why people think that blacks can't be racists.
22:22 DaemonFC; They can be extremely racist and you're not allowed to point it out.
22:22 MinceR; not sure, but racism has been solved already, by patching Git to use "main" instead of "master"
22:22 MinceR; so we might as well stop worrying about it
22:22 SomeH4x0r; was it patched this way actually?
22:22 schestowitz-TR2; watch which companies pushed for it
22:22 SomeH4x0r; or they just added an option to rename it?
22:22 schestowitz-TR2; very racist companies
22:23 schestowitz-TR2; so when you check their history
22:23 XRevan86; COVID-19 was solved in Russia by convicting opposition leaders.
22:23 schestowitz-TR2; you might see puff pieces about how they combat racists
22:23 bnchs___; XRevan86, yes i know there has been racist things in the past 3 centuries, but no reason to completely bar white people from saying it
22:23 SomeH4x0r; isn't it just GitHub?
22:23 kingoffrance; not only that, google said dont say janky, so there are no more ghettos either
22:23 schestowitz-TR2; when they themselves are ethnic cleansers, for profit
22:23 *XRevan86 is referring to the so-called Sanitary Case.
22:24 kingoffrance; and no more janky software either
22:24 SomeH4x0r; instead of banning racism, they want to reverse it and keep it
22:24 kingoffrance; its all good now
22:24 *alextee has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
22:24 XRevan86; bnchs___: It's a slur, so ye know.
22:24 bnchs___; people on 4chan say it all the time, and nobody literally gives a shit
22:24 SomeH4x0r; 4chan is too big, I expect it to be evil
22:25 MinceR; 01 232245 < SomeH4x0r> was it patched this way actually?
22:25 MinceR; there seemed to be an intent for it, but i'm not sure whether they did it already
22:25 MinceR; there's an option to specify a default
22:25 SomeH4x0r; fucking devilopers. Devils.
22:25 MinceR; but there was also mention of having to fix tests before actually changing the default
22:26 MinceR; Microsoft GitHub and GitLab have already changed the default
22:26 DaemonFC; The first hint that most pedophiles should have that it's really a cop is that anyone wants to have sex with them.
22:26 DaemonFC; "You are one UGLY motherfucker."
22:26 MinceR; :>
22:26 schestowitz-TR2; MinceR: changed the ICE contract by default?
22:26 MinceR; if it bleeds, we can kill it.

23:42 bnchs___; psydroid4, you can if you unlocked the bootloader
23:42 schestowitz-TR2; the advantage of handheld is that you can bring it place
23:42 bnchs___; but the problem would be porting one to the device

23:42 bnchs___; there is postmarketOS that runs GNU/Linux
23:42 MinceR; another problem would be controlling the bootloader without a keyboard
23:42 psydroid4; bnchs___, my take on it is that the bootloader shouldn't be locked in the first place
23:42 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, The "news" says the worst is over.
23:43 MinceR; and dealing with related issues without a keyboard
23:43 DaemonFC; And by summer, things will be "back to normal".
23:43 schestowitz-TR2; true
23:43 schestowitz-TR2; like in summer 2020

23:43 schestowitz-TR2; and in summer 2021
23:43 schestowitz-TR2; biden
23:43 MinceR; technically, it would be possible to build a PDA with 2 CPUs, one running a simple system that provides a display with a virtual keyboard to a general PC OS running on the other
23:43 MinceR; but afaik nobody has done that so far
23:43 bnchs___; psydroid4, up to the manufactor, there are some (HTC) willing to unlock the bootloader for free (with a dev account), and there are some that will have to use a unofficial method of unlocking
23:44 psydroid4; when the Pinephone Pro Extreme arrives, there are going to be very few excuses not to get one of those
23:44 schestowitz-TR2; why not use landline?
23:44 psydroid4; of course most people will still buy and Android phone or an iPhone
23:44 schestowitz-TR2; if you don't go around much?
23:44 schestowitz-TR2; let me guess:
23:44 schestowitz-TR2; it's not about phone
23:44 XRevan86; I just realised I haven't heard of HTC phones in a very long time.
23:44 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, Reddit had a deal with the Crisis Text Line.
23:44 MinceR; will the PinePhone Pro Extreme finally be relible?
23:44 DaemonFC; They canceled it when this news broke, apparently.
23:44 schestowitz-TR2; but "apps" and other crap you can do on a laptop which costs $100-200
23:45 XRevan86; MinceR: Maybe :).
23:45 MinceR; my PinePhone sometimes crashes while charging and sometimes fails to boot from the microSD card
23:45 XRevan86; MinceR: But it's definitely overpriced now.
23:45 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 42.36 k/sec., IPFS upstream 143.81 average k/sec., average swarm size 256.74
23:45 bnchs___; forgot to mention: HTC phones have 2 types of bootloader unlocking: one is the partial "unlocking" (carrier and bootloader partition protected) and the other is full unlocking (everything is modifiable)
23:45 schestowitz-TR2; laptops are cheaper
23:46 schestowitz-TR2; and they come with a periopheral called keyboard
23:46 schestowitz-TR2; they also have bigger and better screens
23:46 MinceR; laptops also won't fit in your pocket
23:46 psydroid4; the pocket laptop will solve all of that
23:46 MinceR; the PinePhone _might_ fit in your pocket with the keyboard case on
23:46 schestowitz-TR2; many of today's "phones" do not, either
23:46 schestowitz-TR2; the clamshells did
23:47 MinceR; well, i keep mine in a belt holster, that's good enough for me
23:47 schestowitz-TR2; use a punch
23:47 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, The discussion on Reddit is about how horrible crisis hotlines are anyway.
23:47 schestowitz-TR2; a small arm laptop fits in a puinch
23:47 schestowitz-TR2; I used to take a punch everywhere as a teen
23:47 *XRevan86 is lucky to have the only Honor device that has LineageOS support.
23:47 schestowitz-TR2; back when those were fashionable
23:47 XRevan86; (kudos to BadDaemon)
23:47 bnchs___; the first one (partial "unlocking") is what HTC gives out for free, but the full unlocking has to be done unofficially. it's called S-OFF/S-ON (as in secure boot) and its the most shittiest thing that HTC has done
23:48 DaemonFC; I agree. I talked to the national one once because I really was severely depressed a couple of years ago and I just wanted some general advice, but I did it from Tor Browser on top of a VPN server in the Netherlands.
23:48 DaemonFC; To make it harder to dox me.
23:48 *schestowitz-TR2 sad pouches befoe like "little bellies" nobody wants to carry anymore. they had HUGE practical value, more than women's purses
23:48 DaemonFC; They weren't very helpful. Honestly, it may as well have been a chat robot.
23:48 schestowitz-TR2; they have to follow guidelines
23:49 MinceR; i'd rather not punch laptops
23:49 schestowitz-TR2; so they don't act like natural people
23:49 schestowitz-TR2; they are monitored "for training purposes" etc
23:49 schestowitz-TR2; and surely the employer records it all
23:49 schestowitz-TR2; not likely to discard these
23:49 schestowitz-TR2; "evidence"
23:49 DaemonFC; I think I might have had more productive conversations with that old DOS "psychiatrist" program. ECC ELIZA.

23:49 schestowitz-TR2; speak to a friend
23:50 schestowitz-TR2; they know you
23:50 schestowitz-TR2; they don't record you
23:50 DaemonFC; I don't have any that I can talk to about the kind of problems I have on my mind.
23:50 schestowitz-TR2; and neither them nor psycho* anything respect your confidentiality
23:50 schestowitz-TR2; many of them joke to their mates after the session
23:50 schestowitz-TR2; "so today I had this crazy guy in the clinic or on ZOOM... oh wait... zoom isn't spying, HONEST!!'
23:51 activelow; zoom is the spy
23:51 schestowitz-TR2; of course
23:51 schestowitz-TR2; and a foreign one too
23:51 DaemonFC; It's nothing horrible, but it's information that could cause serious damage.
23:51 schestowitz-TR2; I bet NSA has some programs to pick up psycho* sessions
23:51 DaemonFC; And so it stays trapped in my head.
23:51 schestowitz-TR2; off of Microsoft and Zoom etc.
23:51 XRevan86; ~A foreign agent^U~
23:51 schestowitz-TR2; that later helps them discredit people

23:53 schestowitz-TR2; "from yourself"
23:53 schestowitz-TR2; "I have legal obligations"
23:53 schestowitz-TR2; "I meant well"
23:54 DaemonFC; Yeah, I straight up lie to my psychiatrist sometimes.
23:54 DaemonFC; And I don't feel like I should have to, but with things like the Stool Pigeon Law, it kind of forces you to be deceitful.

23:55 XRevan86; I would've been the most comformist nothing-to-hide kind of person if I wasn't doing so much Wrongthink
