02:07 schestowitz-TR; norway is very different
02:07 schestowitz-TR; high neducation rates, smaller population/density, more wealth
02:07 schestowitz-TR; also few kids
02:07 gene; even though, ironically, paying $150k/yr for 1-2 years rather than paying $50k / yr for 10 years, then another $50k/yr for 5-8 years every [then 3 years], then 5-8 years after that...
02:08 gene; that math doesn't add up for most people... penny wise, pound foolish

05:44 immibis; DaemonFC: and yet you are right-wing?
05:44 DaemonFC; I wouldn't say that.
05:44 DaemonFC; The police are dangerous to people who acted in self-defense to stop a crime in progress against themselves.
05:45 DaemonFC; I wish more conservatives acknowledged this.
05:45 lukaso666; hi, I'm new here... I'm Linux user since 22 years (Debian lover), FOSS maniac, an anarchist... my interests: linux and BSD, privacy, XMPP, IRC, Tox, tilig WMs, hard science fiction & cyberpunk, philosophy, Siberia, languges (russian, czech, Esperanto - my favs!)

05:45 IPFS; 258.06
05:46 DaemonFC; The people who vote in Illinois are disarming law abiding citizens and this "duty to flee" nonsense puts people in danger because they defended themselves and now it's up to a court to decide if three hoodrats with a gun were something they should have tried to run away from.
05:46 DaemonFC; Duty to flee makes the police dangerous to people who act in self-defense against people who wouldn't be dead if they had their hands in their own pockets or had gone and read a book instead of trying to carjack them.
05:47 DaemonFC; Every state where the voting public has the slightest bit of sanity has a Stand Your Ground law.
05:48 DaemonFC; If none of the Republican candidates are acceptable in this year's election, I'll vote for the Libertarian candidate for Illinois governor. And if Pritzker loses because he chased people like me off, then that's his fault.
05:49 DaemonFC; He's up to election year stunts like 1 year tax moratoriums on property, groceries, and gas, but that's a proposal and it'll be back in a year and as bad as ever.
05:49 DaemonFC; It's designed to make people less pissed until the election is finished.
05:50 DaemonFC; Until this state reforms spending and lowers the tax burden, these credit ratings upgrades will be unjustifiable. And the reason we're getting upgrades on our debt outlook is because these are the same ratings firms that said you couldn't lose if you bought mortgage-backed securities in 2007.
05:51 DaemonFC; The only unit of government in America I will still buy bonds from is the federal government.
05:51 DaemonFC; And that's only because it has the ability to "make it so" because it can say there's enough money to pay you back with the interest it agreed to.
05:52 DaemonFC; Then there is. And it's bullshit, but you play the game.
05:52 DaemonFC; Because you get back the interest and principle and at best, it all buys what the principle alone did years ago when you loaned it the money.
05:53 DaemonFC; But the stock market is in the toilet and cryptocurrency is just flat out the stuff of idiots.
05:53 DaemonFC; For so many reasons.
05:54 DaemonFC; You know, you put money in crypto and you can gain or lose a lot of money. It depends on when you time it, and when you do, it's not like selling bonds back to the government. It results in very complex capital gains calculations that you can get wrong and have the IRS breathing down your neck.
05:54 DaemonFC; Then you have to hire accountants to deal with them, and it's just frankly not worth dealing with the tax code implications of messing around with thousands of crypto transactions.
05:55 DaemonFC; If you're like most Americans and you just want a vehicle for savings that isn't going to tank and wipe you out, and want to sit out this stock market malaise, then Savings Bonds are pretty good right now.
05:55 DaemonFC; And past a certain amount of savings, you really don't want it in a bank account.
05:56 DaemonFC; I think past $15,000-20,000 you don't want that in a bank account.
05:56 AdmFubar; some type of wing...;)
05:56 DaemonFC; You need to have the liquidity, but then you also need to look at not getting murdered by inflation on the rest.
05:57 DaemonFC; So it's reasonable to have some savings bonds, even if it's just buying them here and there to make sure your savings doesn't grow too much in a bank account where it doesn't earn much.
05:57 kingoffrance; welcome lukaso666
05:57 lukaso666; kingoffrance, hi!
05:57 *kingoffrance glares at all the people who didnt say hi
05:57 DaemonFC; You can say "It's unlikely that in the next year, my expenses will exceed my savings if I have X amount in the bank. The rest can be in bonds."
05:58 AdmFubar; has sunglasses on and cannot see glare...
05:58 AdmFubar; :P
05:58 DaemonFC; And the first round of bonds I bought last year can be redeemed now if I need to, so I can buy a second round of bonds this year.
05:58 DaemonFC; And then I can stairstep them, so each year I have less that I can't get access to in a pinch vs. ones that are redeemable.
05:59 DaemonFC; Year 1, everything is off limits.
05:59 DaemonFC; Year 2, you can redeem half if you need to. Year 3, you can redeem 2/3rds if you had to. And so on.
06:18 DaemonFC; There's an app called Jerry being advertised on Facebook.
06:18 DaemonFC; It finds super sketchy car insurance companies and takes commissions for signing people up for cheap insurance policies.
06:18 DaemonFC; Then what usually happens is they hit someone and the company actually doesn't pay up and they get sued.
06:20 DaemonFC; My favorite is how about 30% of the people in Illinois have no insurance at all, no license, and drive anyway.
06:20 DaemonFC; "Oh I don't need to pay $30 a month for insurance!" *screech! CRUNCH!*
06:21 DaemonFC; Then they're being hauled off to jail, fined, you name it.
06:22 DaemonFC; The first offense is a fine of $2,500 and you lose your license for three months. Then if you decide to drive anyway during that three months and get pulled over, you go to jail or end up on probation (and fined $5,000) because it's a Class A Misdemeanor.
06:23 DaemonFC; I couldn't imagine losing my license during COVID even if it was only for 90 days.
06:23 DaemonFC; You have to make appointments to go to the DMV now and I don't even want to know what that's all about.
06:24 DaemonFC; This whole thing has everyone under some kind of a spell.
06:24 DaemonFC; It's very dangerous, unacceptably dangerous, to go to the DMV, but not a restaurant, not the movies, not Walmart.
06:25 DaemonFC; <lukaso666> hi, I'm new here... I'm Linux user since 22 years (Debian lover), FOSS maniac, an anarchist... my interests: linux and BSD, privacy, XMPP, IRC, Tox, tilig WMs, hard science fiction & cyberpunk, philosophy, Siberia, languges (russian, czech, Esperanto - my favs!)

12:30 DaemonFC; Suggesting that the police use drop guns and the guy probably wasn't even armed gets you a ban.
12:30 DaemonFC; :)
12:31 DaemonFC; Criminals who have any level of intelligence at all get rid of a gun after it has been used in a murder or serious crime.
12:32 DaemonFC; The last thing you want to be caught with is a weapon that was used to kill someone, so from the perspective of a criminal, a gun is disposable. It's a cost of doing business.

12:32 TR Bot; When Blogs Become Marketing and Benchmarks Become Product Promotions | Techrights
12:33 DaemonFC; The first thing the police do when they catch you unlawfully carrying a firearm and arrest you is send it down to the state police for ballistics testing.
12:33 DaemonFC; They basically pop off a few rounds and look at the marks it left on the bullets as they were fired.
12:33 DaemonFC; Then they compare that will bullets and casings that they recovered at murder scenes.
12:34 DaemonFC; So while they have you in holding on Unlawful Weapons Use, which is 1-3 years, but you might plead down to a misdemeanor, they're definitely checking to see if they took a murder weapon off of you.
12:34 DaemonFC; And if they did, you're in a whole heap of trouble.
12:34 DaemonFC; So it's much better to just wipe it down and toss it in a river somewhere when you're through with it.

12:39 TR Bot; Though rare, Moderna Covid vaccine recipients have higher risk of heart inflammation than Pfizer
12:40 DaemonFC; CDC admits that myocarditis is a much more serious problem with the Moderna COVID vaccine than the Pfizer, but the FDA still approved it yesterday and they both continue downplaying the risks.
12:41 DaemonFC; "Public health authorities in Ontario, Canada found that the rate of myocarditis was five times higher for males ages 18-24 following the second dose of Modernas vaccine than Pfizers."
12:41 DaemonFC; "The survey found that 81% of their patients who developed myocarditis after vaccination completely or probably recovered within 37 weeks after their diagnosis. Another 15% had improved, while 1% had not gotten better."
12:41 DaemonFC; That sounds pretty bullshit.

12:47 DaemonFC; They dole out bans that are shorter than the appeal, so even if you win the appeal it doesn't matter because the punishment has been carried out.
12:48 DaemonFC; A lot like the "right to a speedy trial" in America, where you wait 8 months in jail to be sentenced to 30 days.
12:48 XRevan86; lukaso666: I found it through Diaspora* a while back.

12:50 DaemonFC; Prosecutors and judges are in cahoots in many cases to set bail so ridiculously high for misdemeanors that you go ahead and confess so you can get sentenced already.
12:51 DaemonFC; Because you'll spend longer in jail than the possible sentence.
12:51 DaemonFC; I don't think there should be bail for most misdemeanors. Only felonies.
12:51 DaemonFC; I think for most misdemeanors, they should let people out on a promise to appear unless they have a record of not showing up for court or something.

12:59 DaemonFC; Spotify is just dumb anyway.
12:59 DaemonFC; Almost the entire value of the music industry is their back catalog. Things leftover from when not everything they produced sounded like utter shit.
12:59 DaemonFC; Which happened sometime around 2005 or so.
13:00 DaemonFC; Most of the stuff they produced from the 1960s through about 2000 was pretty good, sometimes incredibly good.
13:00 DaemonFC; And then it took a nose dive.
13:00 schestowitz-TR; yes
13:00 schestowitz-TR; I heard multiple explanations
13:00 DaemonFC; There was about 40-50 years there that were a golden age.
13:00 schestowitz-TR; nd nowadays I rarely listen to English music
13:00 schestowitz-TR; one explanation is,
13:00 schestowitz-TR; the cheapness
13:01 DaemonFC; It's terrible. It's not even English.
13:01 schestowitz-TR; because it's risky to invest a lot in actual musicians and instruments
13:01 DaemonFC; When you can make it out, it's someone singing about her pusy.

13:01 DaemonFC; (Cardi B)
13:01 schestowitz-TR; in the studios/... oboes and stuff
13:01 schestowitz-TR; so they "digitalise" it
13:01 schestowitz-TR; then second is, copyrioght law
13:01 DaemonFC; People today are fucking slobs, and the whole "culture" reflects that.
13:01 schestowitz-TR; they keep tracks very simple
13:01 schestowitz-TR; to avert lawsuits over "copycats"
13:01 schestowitz-TR; (inspiration)
13:01 DaemonFC; Which is how "Wet Ass Pussy" rises to the top, and you're racist if you don't like it.
13:02 schestowitz-TR; so they by design make worse music
13:02 DaemonFC; "Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum sparked a lawsuit.

13:03 DaemonFC; Alan Parsons accused it of essentially sampling Eye in the Sky.
13:03 DaemonFC; <schestowitz-TR> so they by design make worse music
13:04 schestowitz-TR; you mention urban or rap music
13:04 DaemonFC; Nobody trying anything original is part of the problem.
13:04 schestowitz-TR; there's the thing about that too,
13:04 schestowitz-TR; rap too got worse
13:04 schestowitz-TR; they just play samples in a loop
13:04 DaemonFC; But lots of low IQ people buggering the English language is a big problem.
13:04 schestowitz-TR; ajnd talk trash
13:04 schestowitz-TR; it was not always this bad
13:04 schestowitz-TR; but it is "economic"
13:04 DaemonFC; It's not English. I mean, in the 90s even white people listened to rap all the time.
13:04 DaemonFC; Because it was intelligible. It had words.
13:05 DaemonFC; Eminem started doing rap, it had words.
13:05 DaemonFC; Eminem isn't doing "black music" anymore because it has words.

13:07 schestowitz-TR; aside from copyright risk and investment risk (RoI)

13:07 schestowitz-TR; in the past you sols ALBUMs
13:07 schestowitz-TR; and charged also for lesser tracks
13:07 DaemonFC; Continues stiffing the guy when he wouldn't even notice it if he paid his bill.
13:07 schestowitz-TR; now we have "mini albums" and singles
13:07 schestowitz-TR; because the meanms of distribution changed
13:07 schestowitz-TR; and some artists get paid pennies on a single track
13:08 gene; oh, i got a good infographic on the music stuff
13:08 gene; but the music industry as a whole is a sham; it's all silliness
13:08 DaemonFC; If a doctor was digging bullets out of me and the only reason I was alive was because of that, and then $10 million landed on me, I'd certainly go back and pay him.
13:08 DaemonFC; Even if it was 20-30 years later.
13:08 DaemonFC; It's the right thing to do, you have all this money you can't even spend now.
13:08 schestowitz-TR; gene: it's all "RoI"

13:09 schestowitz-TR; and then maybe find some people to press "buy" with DRM
13:09 DaemonFC; Most of those teachers just wanted me out of their classroom quickly.
13:09 schestowitz-TR; so they never even buy but rent
13:09 gene; i can see why
13:09 DaemonFC; Well yeah. They want an easy job.
13:10 DaemonFC; I mean, how hard is it to show up and teach like, 5th grade math, with a union paycheck and a fat pension baking in the background?
13:10 gene; schestowitz; technically we never "own" the music... ownership implies redistribution rights and whatnot
13:10 DaemonFC; Sure in 20 years there won't be a state left, but that's another issue entirely.
13:10 gene; even when we buy the physical medium :(
13:10 gene; 20 years? no state? really? lol
13:11 DaemonFC; Indiana went back and screwed those teachers.

13:20 DaemonFC; The next town I lived in had two murders between 2000 and now.
13:20 schestowitz-TR; you just arm people to the teeth
13:20 DaemonFC; One was a DEA agent they tied to the bed and lit on fire.
13:20 schestowitz-TR; so they can kill more people more efficiently
13:20 DaemonFC; And the other was a guy who went into a convenience store and stabbed someone.
13:20 schestowitz-TR; with a knife it's difficult to kill several people simultaneously
13:20 schestowitz-TR; even with a sword
13:20 DaemonFC; Even though everyone in the town has a gun, no murders involving a gun.
13:20 DaemonFC; And only one murder about every decade.

13:23 DaemonFC; Burglars, three of them, thought "pregnant woman.....easy".
13:23 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights
13:23 DaemonFC; So they break in, and it turned out that there was a tenant with a FOID card and an AR-15 renting the basement.
13:23 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: anothyer channel -->
13:23 DaemonFC; He killed all of them, and the police just checked to see if he had a FOID card, and when he did, they hauled the three bodies out and said have a nice day.
13:23 DaemonFC; How it should be.
13:23 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: I will start muting
13:24 schestowitz-TR; if you carry on putting racist tropes in #techrights
13:25 DaemonFC; If he didn't have a FOID card or the gun, the home invaders would have at least made off with everything they cared to, and possibly have paused to rape the woman living there (who they thought was alone). Didn't work so well for them.
13:25 DaemonFC; And the cops are just an hour away!
13:26 DaemonFC; Like Cartman said in South Park. "Hurry up, the guy's raping my mom and probably has time to smoke a cigarette!"

14:08 activelow; the state includes both, the population and more or less the government
14:08 DaemonFC; If it's insurance, they have to pay, so the body shop soaks the insurance.

14:12 DaemonFC; Because it takes money that could have paid construction workers to do a real job, and then would have saved people billions in car repairs.
14:13 DaemonFC; Almost every "job" the government "creates" is a loss for society.
14:14 DaemonFC; They tax the real workers and piss it down a rat hole on idiots that do nothing terribly important.
14:15 DaemonFC; They have case workers at the "welfare" office that have to go down everything line by line. It costs more to have them than it would to just have a computer program verify things and approve the case, and save humans for appeals that get kicked out for some reason.
14:16 DaemonFC; But by having them there, it creates a "patronage army" which votes in a labor union, and then brings in money and votes for the Democrats.
14:16 DaemonFC; So it's worth a lot to them to keep it the way it is.

22:02 cGIfl300; The problem is we actually forge i7 12th generation.

22:35 DaemonFC; The Russians are in trouble without x86.
22:36 DaemonFC; They have some homemade CPUs but they all suck quite badly.
22:36 DaemonFC; Maybe that will change in time if they have to deal with severe sanctions, but for now it's kind of a problem for them.

22:38 DaemonFC; A downstate judge knocked over the requirement for kids to wear masks in school and has prevented the state from locking out unvaccinated teachers.
22:39 *enyc has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
22:39 DaemonFC; The ruling applies statewide, not just to the parents with kids in districts who sued the schools there.
22:40 DaemonFC; The judge's order says that Prickster's mask mandate ignores due process and that he can't order people to wear a mask unless the Illinois Department of Public Health issues a quarantine order against a particular person and gives them an opportunity to respond to it in court.
22:52 activelow; what's concerning here, in Nurnberg, the local government seemed to have scraped the database of registered inhabitants
22:52 activelow; then, sent a letter which arrived today, saying they didn't have access to yet couldn't sent the letter individually, although i am addressed personally by name with address, exactly the data which is registered
22:54 activelow; furthermore they argue it would be mRNA vaccine applied, regardless of any other available, none of which i need nor want anyway
22:56 bnchs__; pepsi have these water bottles that are fucking unopenable
22:57 MinceR; (video) (audio) https://nitter.net/obviousplant_/status/1408463786474819584#m
22:57 TR Bot; obvious plant (@obviousplant_): "I found this commercial on an old VHS tape" | nitter
22:57 activelow; and of cause, they wouldn't know if i was vaccinated or not with whatever miracle boost tincture, because they didn't have access to any database
22:58 bnchs__; i like how a soda brand's water bottle is more unopenable than the soda brand's soda
22:59 activelow; to get vaccinated an appointment is mandatory, made online or by phone, and vaccination required personal ID with photo and medical record (vaccination book)
23:00 activelow; so, they got both, all data of registered inhabitants, vaccination appointments, and of cause there wasn't any reason to be concerned about anything
23:00 bnchs__; discrimination against unvaccinated?
23:01 activelow; don't know yet
23:01 activelow; furthermore, the national parliament hasn't decided yet, about mandatory vaccination
23:02 activelow; although, mandatory measle vaccination was introduced year 2020 already, next one is the covid miracle boost, with three or four or five injections
23:02 psydroid8; mandatory vaccination means they'll come and arrest you, if you don't get vaccinated voluntarily?
23:02 activelow; don't know yet, potentially this is the sanctions: loosing the job, no traveling with public transport, no entrance into public offices
23:03 psydroid8; I got 2 vaccines last year after getting ill with this virus and they only caused me even more problems
23:04 activelow; i would have ignored it, if this stupid letter from the city major had not arrived today
23:04 bnchs__; you have to either: get vaccinated with the vaccines made by the corporations, that have many countries (who have signed the pfizer deal) as their legal support, and you aren't allowed to report any side effects
23:04 bnchs__; or lose your job
23:05 psydroid8; as for the booster thing I haven't made any appointment yet, because I believe it will only make me feel horrible again
23:06 activelow; i didn't make any test yet, no vaccination, no registration, none of this, and if i don't have to i won't
23:07 activelow; only asked the local "vaccination center", why "recommended" vaccines were not provided there, with consultation, such as pneumococcal among many others - no answer, and that's it as far as my individual responsibilities are concerned
23:07 activelow; of cause, i do not hold any biontech stocks, to capitalize upon, such as german government
23:08 MinceR; > you aren't allowed to report any side effects
23:08 MinceR; [citation needed]
23:08 bnchs__; yes you can, but it will most likely get blackholed
23:12 bnchs__; our last independent news channel was bought out by the government, turned into a public channel that only shills the king nowadays
23:14 bnchs__; i remember when they would report on anything, regardless of how weird it was (weebs and shit).
23:17 psydroid8; are there still independent media that are online?
23:18 psydroid8; news or otherwise
23:18 schestowitz; bnchs__: same in hungary and Web sites, IIRC
23:18 schestowitz; ask MinceR
23:20 bnchs__; news channels are better when you have to pay for them
23:23 psydroid8; the only moroccan channel that I know of and that is provided with the internet/cable subscription is something called M2, which has a mix of programmes in Arabic and the news in French
23:23 DaemonFC; The "free" ones are free because the advertisers are paying.
23:23 DaemonFC; And then the "news" you hear is advertisements, or at least censored to exclude any criticism of the advertisers.
23:23 bnchs__; psydroid8, it's 2M
23:24 psydroid8; oh, from right to left
23:24 bnchs__; and it's free on cable (because the government is paying for it)
23:24 psydroid8; or I don't know
23:24 bnchs__; and since the gov is paying for it, they can cherrypick the news
23:25 bnchs__; some of the days they don't report shit, because of how strict the gov is
23:25 bnchs__; so they play films or commercials all day
23:27 MinceR; the worst is when you pay for it and still get ads
23:28 bnchs__; 2M did have commercials back when it was private, but it was only as a break, and they weren't obliged to follow the advertiser's rules
23:30 psydroid8; so things have become more strict in morocco too
23:31 psydroid8; what do all of these governments fear?
23:32 MinceR; people realizing that they don't need a government
23:32 MinceR; also, revolution
23:32 bnchs__; morocco has a king in charge, instead of voting and shit
23:34 *psydroid8 is in favour of revolution, but realised it could cause chaos in the aftermath
23:34 bnchs__; how do you do a revolution
23:35 bnchs__; when the cops have fire trucks and shit, while you only have signs and probably knives and less probably guns bought from the black market
23:35 bnchs__; they spray down protestors with firetrucks
23:37 psydroid8; it requires careful planning and execution and actual revolutionaries
23:41 psydroid8; people have become far too complacent and this is why governments have been able to take away more and more freedoms, often with the help of companies
23:42 bnchs__; people here are too dependent on facebook
23:42 bnchs__; and whatsapp and instagra
23:43 psydroid8; I think that is the case everywhere, but maybe more so in your country
23:44 psydroid8; Facebook has been losing users
23:45 psydroid8; but I don't know how to stay in touch with so many people in other ways
23:45 bnchs__; also mobile service providers have these special "social media" plans (thats basically a firewalled internet that you can only access social media)
23:46 psydroid8; we'll have to build our own decentralised networks but adoption is going to be big hurdle
23:47 SomeH4x0r; use social media to spread the word about other medium, make them switch
23:47 psydroid8; we don't seem to have such "social media" plans
23:48 psydroid8; the network effect usually causes them to stay
23:48 SomeH4x0r; they need to switch if they are "actual revolutionaries"
23:48 psydroid8; my relatives moved from WhatsApp to Signal
23:48 bnchs__; inb4 it was shit, and people would rather pay for the internet plan rather than the "social media" plan, which grants them more freedom
23:49 SomeH4x0r; I'd not trust big services. In general.
23:49 psydroid8; I don't know how to get them to move to something else again
23:49 bnchs__; people only used it because MSPs made it unlimited if you paid for it once
23:49 SomeH4x0r; Signal as well. At least requires a phone number.
23:49 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 15.16 k/sec., IPFS upstream 12.80 average k/sec., average swarm size 258.71
23:50 bnchs__; MSPs also have these service clients in whatsapp, that's basically your SIM settings in a whatsapp conversation
23:51 psydroid8; I don't know if such plans exist in European countries too
23:52 SomeH4x0r; if by "European" you mean geographical, they exist in Ukraine
23:52 psydroid8; only geographical
23:52 bnchs__; smarter people have actually used the unlimited "social media" plan by hosting a VPN in some google cloud, and using it
23:52 bnchs__; so you get free unlimited internet
23:53 bnchs__; it's flawed and they should have removed the plans altogether
23:53 SomeH4x0r; a VPN? or a proxy? do you get access to internal Google network by using it?
23:53 bnchs__; a proxy
23:53 bnchs__; in the google cloud
23:53 bnchs__; since google is whitelisted in the plan
23:53 SomeH4x0r; is it paid?
23:54 bnchs__; bypassing social media plans
23:54 DaemonFC; Okay, dinner is ready to put in. Air fryer reuben sandwiches and baked potato skin with cheddar and bacon.
23:54 DaemonFC; Mmmmm
23:55 psydroid8; I'm also getting hungry now, even though it's already past midnight
23:55 bnchs__; 5dh internet plan gets you 500mb
23:55 bnchs__; what do you think you can use that for
23:57 psydroid8; it's very little
