back to Techrights (Main Index)


beginning of new day, April 1

00:00 DaemonFC; activelow, So I was reading about how chicken prices will go up 70% this year.

00:00 DaemonFC; 70%!

00:00 DaemonFC; And that's just chicken.

00:01 DaemonFC; I was talking to someone at the health department earlier about electronic records and I told her "When the bad guys admit what they're going to do, you should probably pay attention and figure they're up to something at least that bad.".

00:03 DaemonFC; I was talking about how certain medical records they keep on immigrants could be like handing I.C.E. a loaded gun and that governments change and Trump could very well be back, and he could go court shopping to use immigrant health records against them. In this case, they had a blanket policy for doing drug tests on their patients for no particular reason.

00:04 DaemonFC; I said, "You know, we don't use drugs, we don't even drink alcohol, but I'm sure some immigrants who you treat at your clinics use marijuana, for example. That's a good example, because it's legal in this state, but not at the federal level. And if Immigration got records about one of your clients that used marijuana, they could be deported, even without being put on trial anywhere about the marijuana.".

00:04 DaemonFC; "And I don't particularly like pot, but I don't think someone should be kidnapped by I.C.E. and deported because of their health records.".

00:05 TR Bot; How to Enable Ransomware Protection in Windows - Make Tech Easier

00:05 DaemonFC; "But we're becoming a lot more like Russia in this country. We're not THAT bad yet, but it gets worse every year since 2001, when Congress passed the PATRIOT Act. Every year they find a way to make our country less free and take away more of our rights. And the Germans found Census records in Poland in 1939, Census records. You guys have a lot more info than the Polish Census records in 1939, and imagine how delighted Trump would be to use

00:05 DaemonFC; those!".

00:06 Arz; isnt it what ransomware foes "deletes windows"

00:08 Arz; linux is less secure then wondows cause its was no linux defender

00:09 activelow; DaemonFC: health records are subject to confidentiality by doctors and medical staff

00:09 MinceR; lol

00:10 Arz; confidentia < top secret

00:10 activelow; DaemonFC: if health records are abused for other then health care concerns, then it is those who violate confidentiality who had to be jailed first

00:10 DaemonFC; You assume that anything happens to Trump if he breaks the law.

00:11 DaemonFC; Even before he was the president, he was a criminal that nobody did anything with.

00:11 Arz; Trump is the law

↺ https://i.ibb.co/DLhC85P/bad-government-kill-them.jpg

00:11 activelow; this isn't minor issue, it is known as "Schweigepflicht", medical records _must_ be kept secret

00:12 DaemonFC; German law is probably better.

00:12 activelow; the solution to this could be trivial: someone has to sign a paper to have handed out medical records, and be held accountable

00:12 DaemonFC; In the US, they just do whatever the hell they want and it doesn't matter what the law says.

00:12 activelow; without any signature a medical records isn't a legally valid document

00:12 DaemonFC; And they store medical records in Azure.

00:12 Arz; DaemonFC thats why i avoid doctors like the plague

00:13 DaemonFC; EPIC uses Azure.

00:13 DaemonFC; So the feds already have a copy of everything. (Backdoors)

00:13 activelow; given the severity of the crime to violate secrecy of medical records, guess who will sign to have handed out a medical record illegaly, when charged with imprisonment (mandatory) for doing it?

00:14 CrystalMath; Arz: sounds right

00:14 CrystalMath; Arz: regarding wondows

00:15 Arz; you only get linux defender if you use WUS

00:15 Arz; if you run linux under windows

00:28 Arz; but yes

00:29 psydruid; that would be the ideal setup

00:30 Arz; if it fits your requirements

00:31 Arz; but usually isp dont care about antivirus scaning on behalf of users

00:34 Arz; im Arz with out hole

00:35 Arz; why use tor you got no money to pay for vpn?

00:36 Arz; bnchs you should run your own isp

00:37 bnchs; are you retarded or what?

00:37 Arz; yes the keyword is role out

00:37 Arz; how dumb of me

00:38 bnchs; tor connects through 3 relays, both to increase anonymity and reduce the attacker's power if one of the relays gets hacked

00:38 bnchs; a typical VPN connects through one, making it easy to compromise a connection

00:38 bnchs; and generally not anonymous

01:05 Arz; tor udrd rudt

01:05 Arz; tor is using rust

01:05 MinceR; rip tor

01:05 Arz; why?

01:07 bnchs; that means tor got taken over

01:07 bnchs; its now gonna be bloated and

01:07 bnchs; UNPORTABLE

01:07 MinceR; and it's going to break with every rust version change

01:07 bnchs; thats true

01:07 MinceR; and even if it builds and runs, it won't work well

01:07 bnchs; rust is still not stable

01:07 MinceR; "Move fast and break things"

01:07 bnchs; the risks outweigh the benefits

01:08 bnchs; you can make secure code in C

01:08 bnchs; but rust fanatics like to tell you this is impossible

01:08 bnchs; "oh C is old and doesn't have babyproof abstractions"

01:09 bnchs; "therefore its bad and shouldnt be used"

01:09 bnchs; i would like to thank bell labs for bringing us good things like C

01:10 bnchs; C has a much better syntax than rust to be honest

01:13 Arz; but isnt memory safe

01:14 bnchs; memory safety in languages is a meme

01:14 MinceR; it's a good excuse to write security holes into tor and leave them there, though

01:14 MinceR; same with Linux

01:14 Arz; good point

01:15 bnchs; C gives you the freedom to write it the way you want it with minimal abstractions

01:15 bnchs; therefore the memory safety is the programmer's fault

01:16 bnchs; follow the basic rules of memory allocation and you wont have a single memory leak

03:21 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, I ended up on kind of a soapbox earlier talking to someone in the local government about how angry I was at the kind of records they keep.

03:22 DaemonFC; I said, "While there is still undoubtedly something still calling itself the United States of America, the country I grew up in stopped existing at the end of 2001, and it's been getting worse every year since then. It's not Russia yet, but it's not what it was.".

03:24 DaemonFC; The PATRIOT Act was a coup. People didn't use "coup" to describe any sort of an attempt against the state until "attempted coup" became what Trump's attempt at another one was called.

03:24 DaemonFC; But the successful coup was the PATRIOT Act.

03:25 DaemonFC; Compared to the drunken rednecks breaking some glass on January 6th, the PATRIOT Act is still a far worse day for this country, and nobody even mourned or cared at the time, and most people still don't realize it's not the same country.

03:26 DaemonFC; It's more like a successor state that still goes through the motions.

03:27 DaemonFC; If it is a free country, why are people terrified to criticize it at all?

03:28 DaemonFC; They know that if they do, then behind the scenes, bad things can start happening to them. Seemingly for some other reason.

03:29 DaemonFC; It's not hard to buy yourself in if you have money. Immigration will literally pretty much wave you through.

03:29 DaemonFC; I noticed GOOLAG said he's a foreign national.

03:30 DaemonFC; I don't know that this is the case, but my immigration attorney said most people who just stick to a green card want to have one foot here and one foot where they came from without owing the IRS money when they leave.

03:31 DaemonFC; So maybe it's not fair to blame GOOLAG for all of the ways San Francisco is screwed up. I mean, if you're not a citizen you can't vote.

03:32 DaemonFC; But, you can still chase people out and gentrify and do an incredible amount of harm to a neighborhood with your money.

03:32 DaemonFC; And reasons like this are why that AIDS activist is losing his home to a real estate investor.

03:33 DaemonFC; Because she knows all she has to do is harass a man in his late 60s who has had AIDS (and HIV) for 40-some years long enough, and he'll leave and then she can give his apartment to someone who is rich.

03:34 DaemonFC; I was thinking earlier about how long this city I live in has left before the GOOLAG Effect runs everybody out.

03:34 DaemonFC; Instead of banding together and driving them off, what happens is everyone is approached individually and offered a lump sum for their house and then there's nobody left to fight for who is left, who are now in the voting minority.

03:35 DaemonFC; And the new politicians can't get tons of taxes out of them, so also don't care at all what ultimately becomes of the holdouts.

03:36 DaemonFC; And that's also how Microsoft works. They engage in racketeering and extortion against one company at a time.

03:36 DaemonFC; Which is a big reason why like 80% of Android phones are utter crap now.

03:36 DaemonFC; It's divide and conquer.

03:37 DaemonFC; Rogers Park in Chicago had gentrification happen, and it can happen faster than you think.

03:38 DaemonFC; What happened was CHA built microapartments for rich people near the Loyola red line stop and then leased out the entire bottom floor to Target.

03:38 DaemonFC; And the locals weren't happy. They knew it would drive up rental prices and it would start bleeding the local stores dry.

03:39 DaemonFC; They won't be happy until there is no working class neighborhood anymore. Then I have no idea what their plans are. When nobody CAN live within range of the service economy, and that ends up collapsing because of housing prices, what then?

12:03 schestowitz; "It is commonly assumed that by his 23rd year in office, the Russian president is only interested in geopolitics. In fact, there is at least one other issue that concerns Putin at least as much his own health. It seems that the president has a lot to worry about. In the year of the anniversary of the head of the Russian state, The Project answers the most secret questions of the Kremlin who treats Putin and from what."

12:04 schestowitz; "Many rulers have dreamed of extending their lives, both physically and politically. But the outcome was always the same. In the 1920s, one of the leaders of the Bolsheviks, Alexander Bogdanov, also a physician and philosopher, created the theory of physiological collectivism: it was assumed that old Bolsheviks would pass on their beliefs to the young through blood transfusions, rejuvenating themselves in the process."

12:04 schestowitz; "On October 7 of this year, President Putin is to celebrate his 70th birthday. Joseph Stalin had already had his second stroke by that age, Leonid Brezhnev had become so incapacitated that the real power had gone to his entourage, Yuri Andropov did not live to see this date at all, and Boris Yeltsin resigned as a deeply unhealthy man.

14:25 psydruid; yeah, I'm not going to take out a mortgage

14:26 schestowitz-TR; that was before it went sky-high

14:26 schestowitz-TR; because I considered living there

14:26 schestowitz-TR; but you pay for a room what you'd think is for a whole apartment

14:26 schestowitz-TR; it's a sinking city/state

14:26 schestowitz-TR; even their casino must be sinking

14:26 schestowitz-TR; a few years ago I checked tokyo for a laugh

14:27 schestowitz-TR; it's like 3000 pounds a month for an OK apartment

15:01 psydruid; one thing that has always eluded me is why it is so hard to write an equivalent application for GNU/Linux to replace a custom application for Windows

15:02 psydruid; you've already written down all requirements, you just need to write another implementation

15:02 bnchs; writing a program for POSIX/UNIX/UNIX-like operating systems would be more easy

15:02 psydruid; that's my thinking too

15:02 bnchs; does macos support POSIX?

15:03 psydruid; it does

15:03 schestowitz-TR; no write for windows 11!!

15:03 *techrights-ipfs-bot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

15:03 bnchs; which i think it does

15:03 schestowitz-TR; so many users

15:03 schestowitz-TR; everyone uses windows. .. 11 ~~

15:03 bnchs; windows didnt support unix sockets until 2017

15:03 schestowitz-TR; Windows !!

15:03 bnchs; and before that, there wasnt any way you could IPC

15:03 bnchs; without having to open a localhost server

15:04 psydruid; the only reason why it is still around is because it is so different and a pain to migrate away from

15:04 bnchs; windows implemented unix sockets in 2017

15:04 bnchs; windows before 2017: lets host servers on the localhost and talk to local processes that way

15:05 bnchs; its like insane

15:05 bnchs; something that existed many decades ago

15:05 TR News; Intel is trolling us. "Sound Open Firmware"... outsourced to proprietary software controlled by criminals. Nice troll Intel. Now we know what "Open" stands for.

15:05 bnchs; and yet they just implemented it

15:05 psydruid; it's more insane to actually run this sorry excuse for an operating system

15:06 schestowitz-TR; because of corruption

15:06 bnchs; it would be more sane if they implemented the full POSIX

15:06 schestowitz-TR; [15:00] <schestowitz-TR> also: we don't sell software, we bribe companies that do

15:06 bnchs; but of course that would be bad

15:06 bnchs; so they invent their own shit

15:07 bnchs; we wouldnt want programs to run in all OSes

15:07 bnchs; bad for profit

15:08 bnchs; we want OS antitrust laws that force OSes to implement the full POSIX standards

15:10 psydruid; a lot of POSIX is also deprecated

15:10 bnchs; posix compliant?

15:11 schestowitz-TR; [15:08] <bnchs> we want OS antitrust laws

16:20 matey; although he needs to specify which version of by-sa or it has no meaning. theres no such thing as a "by-sa license"

16:27 schestowitz; matey: you talked about licences

16:27 matey; how do you prefer to describe the collection of works on techrights

16:27 matey; articles doesnt describe videos-- what umbrella term do you prefer

16:27 matey; or maybe you simply avoid an umbrella term

16:27 matey; though people like to use them when theyre not actually bad (ip is a terrible and misleading umbrella term designed to confuse-- i agree with that)

16:27 schestowitz; yes, I avoid

16:27 matey; thats what i was asking before

16:27 schestowitz; I also don't say words like journalist because they are loaded

16:27 matey; so articles are articles, videos are videos

16:28 schestowitz; I used the term briefly

16:28 matey; well thats good

16:28 matey; mmhmm

16:28 schestowitz; when I wrote for datamtion

16:28 matey; around 2010 i think

16:28 matey; maybe later than that

16:28 schestowitz; when I was censored-by-corporate-interest writer

16:28 matey; censored-by-corporate-interest writ <- good term for it

16:28 schestowitz; like, you cannot criticisew Microsoft 'too much'

16:28 schestowitz; youm need proof, roy

16:28 matey; so articles are articles, videos are videos-- you dont even refer to them as "works?"

16:28 schestowitz; you show proof

16:29 schestowitz; and they find another straw man

16:29 schestowitz; because Microsoft pays them

16:29 matey; i refer to things as "works" when im referring to "freely licensed works"

16:29 schestowitz; lessons learned

16:29 schestowitz; fuck off, I'll do my own site

16:29 matey; i dont say "freely licensed content" typically because that sonds more awkward

16:29 schestowitz; "works' is an old term

16:29 matey; <schestowitz> because Microsoft pays them <- yes this is a drawback

16:29 schestowitz; we have "printworks" in manchester

16:29 matey; "works' is an old ter <- yes i think it mostly pertains to copyright

16:29 schestowitz; used to be theguardian's HQ

16:30 schestowitz; maybe because of the printinhg press

16:30 matey; sane copyright would probably fix all of copyrights real problems-- this is the thesis of lessig imo

16:30 matey; though anyone who hopes copyright wont die probably thinks it does more good than it really does in practice

16:30 matey; theoretically its important to things like copyleft of course

16:30 schestowitz; same with patents

16:30 schestowitz; the supposition is,

16:30 matey; in practice-- i think people exaggerate how much it helps (like government itself)

16:31 schestowitz; "it's the bet systemk we have"

16:33 schestowitz; better to have uploaded the CDs TBH...

16:33 matey; oh a smaller collection than yours im sure. it was substantial

16:33 schestowitz; no, I just borrow from my sister

16:33 matey; well heres the thing

16:33 matey; i tried to build a cc-only music collection

16:34 bnchs; hicham iraqi houssaini
