00:00 XRevan86; I'm pretty upset with how my teeth were genetically engineered.
00:00 phanes; britney, so how would a mason meet a neanderthal to get their orders
00:00 XRevan86; I just realised I already claimed to be a reptilian and now I'm implying that I'm human.
00:01 XRevan86; https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2022/08/06/mediazona-putins-chef-prigozhin-visits-prisons-in-person-to-recruit-fighters-for-ukraine-war-news "Putins chef Prigozhin visits prisons in person to recruit fighters for Ukraine War"
00:01 TR Bot; .
00:01 XRevan86; phanes: ^ something like that maybe?
00:01 phanes; XRevan86, oh are the neanderthalls all in russian prisons?
00:02 XRevan86; phanes: Well they have to be somewhere.
00:02 phanes; XRevan86, they really don't
00:02 phanes; and aren't
00:02 XRevan86; phanes: Right.
00:02 phanes; there is no somewhere that they exist because humans literally killed them way before we even spoke as a species
00:03 britney; says a mason
00:03 XRevan86; phanes: That's arguably not correct actually.
00:03 XRevan86; phanes: There were a number of factors at play that killed the Neanderthals off, and Homo Sapiens may not be the largest one.
00:03 phanes; XRevan86, well there's some evidence of interbreeding but largely the fought and fucked them into obscurity before they died off as a distinct subspecies
00:03 britney; https://antinewworldorder.blogspot.com/
00:03 TR Bot; Silence is Betrayal
00:04 XRevan86; phanes: And they also kind of all froze to death.
00:04 MinceR; they were humans
00:04 XRevan86; That's why I used "Homo Sapiens" in my sentence.
00:05 phanes; see this is the problem with bizarre stories about reptilians and neanderthals. in order for populations to exist at the numbers they do, we'd have to regularly be capturing sapient lizards and neanderthals which would attract all kinds of publicity that even a deep state would not be able to contain
00:06 phanes; there'd be a daily little influx of lizards getting hit by cars and coroners completely losing their shit on the news
00:07 phanes; instead of the expected evidence, we get in its place an adamant britney who insists its real because mackey, who she clearly did not read, said so, though he didn't, and glen kealey, who has a financial interest in people believing his misinformation
00:08 phanes; no physical evidence to speak of, how interesting and obvious
00:08 XRevan86; On the bright side, people who believed Alex Jones just got a smack on the face :).
00:08 phanes; XRevan86, yeah, right up there with flat earth theorists, they're just talking about something else
00:10 XRevan86; britney: And phanes is right, a book is not evidence, not even close.
00:10 XRevan86; There are *a lot* of wacky books around, some of them even claim to be the 100% Truth. Or even truthier than that.
00:11 XRevan86; britney: What makes your assertions better than the one's Scientologists have?
00:12 phanes; the problem is, i'd reconsider my whole position if she could produce just one reptilian and one neanderthal. you'd think that'd be easy for 3 advanced civilizations living side by side for thousands of years as she claims
00:16 phanes; britney, if not then id like you to explain what your real purpose is here, as i think it's pretty clear that you have less belief in these things as you do interest in claiming to in this context
00:21 phanes; the problem with civilizations remaining hidden is its not remotely feasible. even a small civilization produces so many artifacts and signals that you can see them from other planets.
00:22 MinceR; yeah, if there was a civilization on earth, we'd know about it by now

00:29 britney; you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink
00:29 phanes; britney, i mean, surely you want to be seen as a credible person again
00:29 britney; oh yeah like i care what some master mason thinks?
00:30 phanes; or really anyone
00:30 phanes; i mean you're literally walking around pretending lizard people rule the world with underground neanderthals
00:30 britney; its your job to put these theories out of circulation, you work for the enemy
00:30 phanes; its either a delusion or a lie
00:31 ulf; it is a misrepresentation
00:31 ulf; and a distraction
00:31 ulf; from the cartell of mobsters, to talk about instead
00:33 phanes; britney, do you have a therapist you talk to about these "theories"
00:33 phanes; or are therapists part of the masonic information suppression plot
00:34 britney; im on anti psychotic medication because i was suffering from psychosis, im not crazy
00:34 phanes; well there it is
00:34 britney; therapists would be part of the masonic information supression plot
00:34 britney; if you talk about masons and such, they'll call you crazy
00:34 XRevan86; phanes: I want to reference a cult that has a reptilian twist to it, but I fear that britney might get indoctrinated.
00:34 phanes; britney, perhaps its time to get re-evaluated in case your prescription needs to be adjusted, eh?
00:35 britney; phanes, im perfectly sane, haven't had psychosis since i started the meds
00:36 XRevan86; phanes: But I'm considering that it may be funny if that does happen.
00:36 phanes; britney, you're literally in a chat room telling at least 30k people that a secretly hidden species of sapient lizard rules the world in tandem with an underground hidden species of neanderthals
00:36 britney; not in tandem
00:36 britney; they fight for control

00:36 XRevan86; britney: What's your opinion on AllatRa?
00:36 phanes; britney, no, they do not, and you need to go back to the doctor that helped you last time
00:36 britney; XRevan86, AllatRa? never heard of it
00:37 britney; Illuminati - reptilians, Freemasons - neanderthals
00:37 XRevan86; britney: It's a (originally) Ukrainian/Russian ~scam~ quasi-religious organisation.
00:37 phanes; ROFL
00:37 phanes; oh dear, please tell me about the illuminati
00:38 britney; they infiltrated the free masons about 100 years ago

00:39 britney; thats what the media say
00:40 phanes; you mean history
00:40 phanes; like
00:40 britney; the media
00:40 phanes; documented history
00:40 phanes; i mean this all predates the media so you're full of it on that count too
00:40 britney; history: hi story, high story
00:40 XRevan86; Also if I remember correctly they're putinists.
00:40 britney; its the story from the top
00:40 phanes; rofl
00:40 britney; XRevan86, im not a fan of Putler
00:41 phanes; im sorry but i just can't tell if you're batshit or just too stupid to be allowed to vote
00:41 phanes; "documented history is just media liez, yo"
00:42 britney; it is just the media
00:42 phanes; rofl
00:42 XRevan86; People with Magical thinking have a tendency to see dictators and irredentists as Saviors of the Nation.
00:42 phanes; just talk to your doctor before you hurt someone eh
00:43 britney; cuz i generally accept advice from neanderthal apologists
00:44 phanes; yes you should accept advice from people with levels of sanity and intellect not known to your family for generations
00:44 XRevan86; phanes: That's an assumption, ye don't know what her family is like.
00:45 phanes; XRevan86, stuff like this isn't isolated
00:45 phanes; its not "genetically hereditary" but its a cycle of magical thinking that is passed down
00:47 phanes; it almost reminds me of dark ages villagers who have a kid that say the lord of host is a dark monster, and the kid takes it literally, and then they grow up to meet another person who thought it, and they just start this mult-thousand-year blemish of stupor on the species timeline

00:54 britney; i should say 77% british/irish actually because thats how its classified in 23andme
00:54 britney; canadian otherwise
00:56 XRevan86; I know a person (well, schestowitz also does, it's zlax) who believes in that the Anglo-Saxons rewrote the history in the XVIII century, and the monuments of the past are all fake, like the pyramids, et al.
00:56 britney; i would say more irish than british
00:57 britney; they could have
00:57 XRevan86; He would've appreciated the Tory part of that stupid pun I guess.
00:58 britney; the only thing we know about the past is what is written down and you can modify that pretty easily
00:58 XRevan86; britney: Everything that he claimed and I could verify, I verified as false.
00:59 XRevan86; Shockingly enough, he doesn't care.
00:59 XRevan86; britney: I'm not surprised ye find this a plausible scenario.

02:52 ulf; seems there is some ia32 SoC available for deployment onto FPGA...
02:53 ulf; problem with those too, a few dozen MHz maximum, inconclusive specs...
02:54 ulf; one SoC proposed seems missing USB(1.x) and uart
02:55 ulf; if at least vt100 over serial could be terminated with clean hardware/software
02:56 ulf; i think RISC-V is not desirable, because it's new, and requires recent kernel/compiler/etc. versions... which are all problematic
02:57 ulf; the advantage of an ia32 over j-core.org... software support etc.
02:58 ulf; if an opensource ia32 SoC can be pushed to decent performance together with USB1.x and uart
02:59 ulf; since one criteria remains: must be capable of self-hosting, meaning all software should be possible to compile itself on such hardware, with tcc for example
02:59 ulf; and a 40MHz i386 seems far below a decent minimum even for tcc compiler
03:00 ulf; i mean, as a rough estimate, i am willing to crunch down "free software" to run and compile on a 400MHz 256MiB RAM type ia32
03:00 ulf; with usb1.x and serial port
03:01 ulf; https://github.com/archlabo/Frix
03:01 TR Bot; - archlabo/Frix: IBM PC Compatible SoC for a commercially available FPGA board
03:01 britney; ulf, would that even work? the i386 40mhz seems like it would be too slow
03:02 ulf; just as said, it's too limited for the use-case of mine
03:03 *ulf has quit (connection closed)
03:03 *ulf (~ulf@h4u9xfjejv5y4.irc) has joined #techrights
03:03 ulf; weird
03:04 ulf; anyway, what i had seen is too limited, with both processing speed and peripheral options (usb1.x)
03:05 ulf; another idea is, to drop Linux and get along with FreeDOS... i think tcc compiler will work on DOS too
03:05 *techuser has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
03:06 ulf; i mean, what i had seen in recent weeks, to tailor a GNU/Linux for a c-only toolchain profile
03:07 ulf; i consider the build-system of the entire "free software" wrecked beyond repair, and that's not the only concern by far
03:07 ulf; neither micros~1 windoze pc nor mapple mac os or similar are any alternative, and even if, it's much worse with those too
03:08 ulf; however, there's still FreeDOS
03:08 britney; FreeDOS is cool
03:09 britney; what about FreeBSD?
03:09 ulf; the disadvantage with this, the software utilities for development, related to Altera/Intel... typically require a IBM Wintel Pentagon Comuter nearby
03:09 ulf; britney: if you followed argument, then you would realize any of the *BSD aren't an alternative
03:09 britney; a IBM Wintel Pentagon computer?
03:10 ulf; yes, i don't want to depend on any such spyware
03:10 ulf; not at work, not at home, nowhere
03:12 ulf; and the *BSD (aka Mapple) are merely the sh*tware installed onto IBM Wintel Pentagon Computers...
03:13 ulf; anyway, thinking about it, having a compiler is crucial, and tcc is just that, a compiler to enjoy free software
03:15 ulf; question is, in which shape FreeDOS is, and which type of "free software" is available: irc client, mail client, text web browser etc.
03:16 britney; lynx has a version for dos iirc
03:17 ulf; the ia32 FPGA SoC proposed is missing USB1.x and serial uart
03:17 ulf; at least the specs are inconclusive
03:18 ulf; and there is other potential problems
03:18 ulf; anyway, i would be willing to ditch GNU/Linux entirely, and this too applies to *BSD alike
03:19 britney; have you looked into hakiu os?
03:21 ulf; not sure, think i did, it was written in C++
03:21 ulf; which excludes it, if so, in principle
03:22 ulf; long story short, i am not willing anymore to accept what's advertised as "free software" by pentagon corp. usa
03:22 ulf; for that many reasons, i could write several books about it
03:24 ulf; one cornerstone of proof, get tcc compiler, and compile an entire "free software" distro with it... no cheating ... no gcc no binutils no llvm, and see how far you'll get: nowhere
03:24 ulf; it's not at least possible to compile linux kernel and busybox without the build system freaking out all over the place
03:24 ulf; and this is an insult to any intact intellect to label this "free software"
03:25 ulf; it's a fraud which deserved the biggest anti-trust in history
03:27 ulf; remarkably, the entire world economy depends on this gigantic wreckage, which is clusterfucked beyond repair
03:29 ulf; i mean, if an ia32 SoC operated at 100MHz with 64MiB RAM, i could live with it i think
03:29 ulf; usb1, serial uart, vga, ps/2
03:29 britney; why would you use such a slow computer
03:30 ulf; a DOS on such a system should be fast enough, for some IRC, mail, and text browser
03:32 ulf; why? just answered, i don't accept IBM Wintel Pentagon spyware
03:32 britney; you could get a rock64, no?
03:33 ulf; aarch32 is closed-source, and i consider GNU/Linux wrecked
03:33 ulf; btw. aarch64 too is closed source
03:35 ulf; situation is, i will probably finish most of the userspace to compile with tcc compiler at least, got 620/700 builds succeed already with this
03:35 ulf; it's the missing pieces of GNU/Linux (and *BSD) alike, which give me headache ... kernel, busybox, gcc, binutils, libc, python/liffi... there's some particular problems with all of those
03:36 ulf; some of which can be repaired too, yet even then, i consider the entire system integration and build-system/autotools/makefiles wrecked beyond repair
03:36 ulf; what gentoo does with their portage system, is merely some palliative treatment to keep this shitware alive somehow
03:37 ulf; and even with gentoo, i am forced onto an unmaintained branch of my own, with some 10year old gcc
03:37 ulf; it's just dead end and wreckage at too many frontlines
03:43 britney; FreeDOS looks like a good choice
03:44 ulf; don't know yet

04:33 schestowitz[TR2]; "conspiracy theory"
04:34 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I'm not at all happy with how the media is portraying this. They just say "gay men" and leave it there.
04:34 schestowitz[TR2]; DaemonFC: : did you know bill was friends with Epstein? CONSPRACY! THEORY!
04:34 DaemonFC; You fuck a hundred people you'll get a few things, you know.
04:34 DaemonFC; Some people fuck their way through a hundred people a year or over 6 months.
04:34 schestowitz[TR2]; ddi you know he profits from the COVID vaccines? You crank! conspiracy buff
04:34 schestowitz[TR2]; according to media that bags bribes from him.
04:35 schestowitz[TR2]; <techrights-news> Twitter: our shareholders and our owners cut journalists to pieces (literally). But we're banning "extreme" users... like leftists. Also: we at Twitter proudly take money connected to Jeffrey Epstein (child sex trafficking), as Bill Gates needs to shift attention and ban his critics.
04:35 DaemonFC; I probably haven't had sex with 50 people in my life. I don't know exactly what the "count" is, but you know. Maybe 20-25?
04:36 DaemonFC; But there's like, people like John, where he learns to drive a car so he can put Grindr on his phone and drive around until he gets a disease or someone stabs him to death.
04:37 DaemonFC; I certainly would not be doing anything on Grindr right now even if I wasn't married.
04:37 DaemonFC; This Monkeypox thing is going to blow through that crowd in a year, maybe two.
04:37 DaemonFC; The vaccine won't do shit because there's never going to be enough doses of it to matter.
04:38 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], It's spreading through them exponentially right now. The feds are talking about maybe getting 500,000 Americans vaccinated in the next 12 months, but say that they won't really get underway until January.
04:38 DaemonFC; You tell me how much good this will do.
04:38 DaemonFC; No vaccine is perfect, so you have to account for that.
04:39 DaemonFC; Then if you vaccinate 500,000 people, you may prevent 250,000-300,000 actual cases. Meanwhile, 99%+ of the population gets no protection at all.
04:39 DaemonFC; So what the fuck is the point of all this?
04:39 DaemonFC; If they took it seriously, they'd open up the Smallpox Vaccine Stockpile.
04:40 DaemonFC; There would be National Guard soldiers giving it out.
04:40 DaemonFC; That tells me this is an experiment, not a solution.
04:40 DaemonFC; They have absolutely no intention of protecting LGBT people from this.
04:40 DaemonFC; They just want lab rats.
04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; to me it seems the media incites hatre
04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; not class hate
04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; infighting
04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; you would call it "hate speech"
04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; if some certain sites did this
04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; but no... this is "medical"
04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; "stay away from gay people, sonnie... they're like diseased monkeys..."
04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; meanwhile we have urgent issues like climate, pollution and food availability
04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; this is not all the fault of "putin"
04:43 DaemonFC; I don't have Monkeypox. Do you?
04:43 DaemonFC; Maybe GULAG. Who knows.
04:44 DaemonFC; They're basically going to use our worst to say damn all of them.
04:44 DaemonFC; That's the plan.
04:44 DaemonFC; The people who get Monkeypox have probably already had the clap so many times it's the applause.
04:46 DaemonFC; My whole way of thinking about sex when I was single was not "Let's see how many I can rack up." it was "I'm not going to take a risk unless this is going to be good."
04:46 DaemonFC; If you lower your standards to 0 then you can fuck all sorts of people, and that's who is at the most risk for Monkeypox.
04:46 DaemonFC; If you have standards like "If I can't do at least THIS well, then Pornhub it is then." you probably won't get it.

06:28 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I think the circumcision experiments were designed to see what the overall seroconversion rate to AIDS was if you go into countries where almost nobody is circumcised and do it to them.
06:29 DaemonFC; In the US, many are, but you have an unsuitable test environment.
06:29 TR News; "someone figured out that "delta" and "omicron" are an anagram for "media control."" https://pluralistic.net/2022/08/04/its-a-trap/
06:29 TR Bot; Pluralistic: 04 Aug 2022 Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow
06:29 DaemonFC; Most of the people who aren't do have higher HIV/AIDS rates in their communities, but they're also black and Hispanic.
06:30 DaemonFC; So you can't just compare infection rates against a background population with similar features that well.
06:30 DaemonFC; For starters, although non-circumcision is higher in impoverished communities, there's other factors.
06:30 DaemonFC; They're still in the US, so a sizable minority are circumcised already.
06:30 DaemonFC; So like, 20-30%.
06:31 DaemonFC; It makes it harder to compare even within that group.
06:32 DaemonFC; Then when you look at risky sexual behavior, it doesn't compare even within black circumcised vs. non-circumcised, because circumcision likelihood is based on how much money your parents had when you were born.
06:32 DaemonFC; People with more money are more likely to do it to their children here.
06:32 DaemonFC; But that contaminates your research.
06:33 DaemonFC; If you compare the uncircumcised black Americans to the circumcised ones, the circumcised ones probably got a better education too, and are less likely to have unprotected sex or have people in their family who strongly disapprove of homosexuality.
06:34 DaemonFC; So you're comparing less afluent blacks to more affluent blacks, and obviously the less affluent ones are already out there taking lots of risks anyway. They commit more crimes, they get in trouble with the law a lot. Death stares them in the face every day. It's called the guy they pissed off selling drugs on his corner. Malnutrition.
06:35 DaemonFC; And if you did circumcise some to see what happens, you'd have to take them to an American outpatient healthcare setting where it's going to cost $3,000 or so.
06:35 DaemonFC; If you can snip a bunch of them in Africa and follow them around, you're probably out $5-10 each.
06:36 DaemonFC; So it's cheaper to run the study there, they mostly have similar background risk, Americans don't care what happens, and virtually none of them were circumcised already.
06:36 DaemonFC; It's a perfect test environment.
06:37 DaemonFC; None of them are going to get together and figure out how to get it into an American courtroom even if you exaggerate the possible risk reduction benefit.
06:37 DaemonFC; Which I'm told Gates did.
06:37 DaemonFC; Which contaminates the testing!
06:38 DaemonFC; If you tell people do this and you won't get AIDS, then you get a group most likely to get AIDS self-selecting for the test to begin with, then they're more likely to go out and take more risk.
06:39 DaemonFC; So now you have a group that is incredibly likely to get AIDS as your test group when your background population probably isn't as likely.
06:39 DaemonFC; So in this setting, it's entirely possible that you have more people in the test group getting AIDS than the people who never got circumcised, even though circumcision didn't increase the risk. It may have decreased it, but you've completely fucked up your own research.
06:40 DaemonFC; It sounds like that's what happened. And it also sounds like that's why Gates cut them loose and declared it a loss and left.
06:40 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], So it reeks of corruption, yes, but also being too incompetent to formulate a proper test.
06:41 DaemonFC; Impertinent, even.
06:41 DaemonFC; It takes years to run a study like this. Maybe 10-20 years, right? Gates probably wanted headline results in 3-5, so they just cut corners.
06:42 DaemonFC; Setting up a proper test, you'd get 50% circumcised and 50% uncircumcised from same background and expected risk factor. So you start following them at age 14 or so and then see how many have HIV/AIDS in each group by the time they're 27 or 28.
06:43 DaemonFC; Then you know about how well circumcision works.
06:44 DaemonFC; That's another reason why vaccines now don't need 3-5 year testing phases. They just dump something out and see what the consequences are for the people who roll up their sleeves first.
06:44 DaemonFC; I'm not going to be the first to try out Monkeypox vaccine. I have higher odds of getting struck by lightning.

06:47 DaemonFC; Circumcision does merit a study. A legitimate study.
06:48 DaemonFC; HIV risk reduction may be the only benefit, but they haven't even conclusively proven this.
06:49 schestowitz[TR2]; studies are "offensive"

07:33 mjg59_; You realise that's an extremely easy thing to work out, right
07:34 phanes; mjg59_, can you identify the rapist or is this something you invented because you disagree with him about his lawsuit?
07:34 mjg59_; Oh I absolutely can
07:35 phanes; Who?
07:36 mjg59_; Well, good for you for admitting that you're responding before establishing facts
07:36 mjg59_; Google should be able to help you out here
07:36 phanes; You keep saying things for me that I never suggested or provided requisite proofs for. That's not been working out well for you through this process and surely you realize is adding to supplementary documentation of a consistent pattern of behaviour.
07:37 phanes; You are so outclassed, here, and don't realize your resistance to the process going on here is actually hurting your case as much as helping it.
07:37 mjg59_; That's fine
07:37 mjg59_; You could maybe do a trivial amount of research yourself and have the answer
07:38 phanes; Well, admittedly yes, but, for folks with your psychological profile it's always fine until it's not, and then you're victims until that's disproven too.
07:38 mjg59_; But you've already taken longer than that would take
07:38 DaemonFC; "nd yes, it is legitimate to sue to force the US government to release documents they are legally obliged to release."

07:40 mjg59_; Still waiting for you to define what "losing" actually looks like here
07:40 phanes; And no, I am not on record about lying about preserving anything. That's just the dumber, weaker argument you made up when reality was not helping you anymore.
07:40 phanes; Also a recurring habit. You think that undermining my credibility is going to somehow help you.

07:45 phanes; he doesn't actually want anyone to try to validate his claims, so long as he is able to destroy a reputation no doubt

07:56 mjg59_; Especially since we both already know the answer
07:59 phanes; Your sophistries don't work on me.
07:59 phanes; Your friends' sophistries don't work on me.
07:59 phanes; You're a lower animal, Matt.
07:59 phanes; In any case, since the time of your initial accusation, the account has been preserved.
08:00 mjg59_; I note that you're not answering the question
08:00 phanes; This is to showcase just one minor incident of defamation in a long, long string of continuous defamation of others. At the moment, we were discussing your current accusation of DJ Bernstein on twitter, accusing him of hosting a rapist in his lab and supporting another rapist's lawsuit, so we're trying to figure out if your words are real enough for you to even stand by them.
08:01 mjg59_; And if you did even the smallest amount of work yourself you'd know who I was talking about
08:01 phanes; Now, I picked up on that you're adapting to this process, or trying to, by deliberately holding out Bernstein's name from the accusation, but, as you said, it's relatively easy to work out.
08:02 phanes; That way, you can pretend "I didn't say that about Bernstein" later as things start to finally catch up to you.
08:02 mjg59_; I mean you are right now literally refusing to answer a question
08:02 mjg59_; So that seems fair right
08:02 phanes; No, I answered it, I just didn't give you the answer you were fishing for.
08:03 phanes; See now you're trying to distract with an obvious falsehood, so that we can get derailed about a me thing instead of talking about the you thing that's going on right now on twitter (again).
08:03 phanes; This is just one more of your behaviours I'm completely immune to.
08:03 phanes; Do you think we can talk about which rapist DJ Bernstein hosted in his lab?
08:04 phanes; It is, after all, your accusation.
08:04 phanes; Perhaps you were angry and didn't mean it?
08:05 mjg59_; phanes: You literally didn't answer it
08:06 phanes; >In any case, since the time of your initial accusation, the account has been preserved.
08:06 phanes; ^ just so no one is confused by his lying to get distracted from his other lying
08:07 mjg59_; Is https://web.archive.org/web/20210327233127/https://twitter.com/void_witch2/status/1375953488073621504 the same account as https://twitter.com/void_witch2 ?

08:07 phanes; I mean, you probably think witholding information is somehow helping you, but what it actually does is forces me to research in great depth and focus on format, which will result in a far more developed exposure of the problem here.
08:07 phanes; As you've seen repeatedly now.
08:07 mjg59_; Are those two links the same Twitter account?
08:08 phanes; So, let's see if Matthew Garrett posesses the ability to learn.
08:08 mjg59_; The answer that you keep refusing to provide is that they're not the same Twitter account
08:08 mjg59_; And this is easy to demonstrate
08:08 phanes; Your distraction is noted as having taken place but is not relevant to what's being asked of you
08:08 mjg59_; Is it defamatory for me to say that?
08:09 mjg59_; Or am I telling the truth?
08:09 mjg59_; I feel like if I were lying here you'd be quick to say so, so let's assume I'm telling the truth
08:10 mjg59_; And that you did, in fact, rename the first instance of the account and then create a new account under the same name
08:10 mjg59_; Am I lying?
08:10 phanes; Given that you lied about the disposition of the todd case repeatedly it's just generally assumed to anyone following these dialogues that you're lying, and in this case, in a bizarre way: By accusing me of something, you're trying to undermine my credibility when exposing you for repeatedly lying about people, using a lie to do it, and then somehow thinking this will redeem you for the long timeline already established as a matter of public record.
08:11 mjg59_; Dude all you need to say here is "These are the same account" but your refusal to do so is telling
08:11 phanes; Your usual tricks are going to continue to fail.
08:11 mjg59_; Because you know they aren't the same account
08:11 mjg59_; Can we agree on that point?
08:11 mjg59_; You might not think it's relevant, but it's true
08:11 phanes; If you answer my questions I'll answer some of yours.
08:11 mjg59_; I've answered many of your questions
08:11 mjg59_; You've never answered this one
08:11 mjg59_; Why do you refuse to answer it?
08:12 phanes; Let's start with Bernstein. There are two rapists you've alleged he supported, one by hosting in his lab, and the other by supporting his lawsuit. Which two rapists are we talking about?
08:12 mjg59_; See
08:12 mjg59_; You can easily find the answer to that question
08:12 mjg59_; Just as I easily found the answer to my question
08:12 phanes; I need to look to open sources to know what you meant when you said something? Sounds like a lie.
08:13 mjg59_; So it's odd that you continue to imply that these were both the same account
08:13 mjg59_; When it's trivial for anyone to determine that they aren't
08:13 phanes; In any case, I can note that you were asked to clarify and refused to provide so because you didn't seem to actually mean what you were saying if you'll agree to that.
08:13 mjg59_; I stand by what I said, and absolutely meant it
08:14 mjg59_; Dan, who as we have established knows how to find a lawyer, is free to sue me if he thinks I'm lying
08:14 phanes; You've accused someone of hosting a rapist to attack their credibility when filing a FOIA request, yet won't identify the rapist. What bizarre behaviour.
08:15 phanes; It's also bizarre that you left his name off to obscure liability. Almost like a statement crafted to defame.
08:16 phanes; We've established that you're a lying shithead, but that's a whole new low.
08:16 mjg59_; Given how easily you worked out who I was discussing, it's pretty clearly not obscuring liability
08:17 phanes; So who are the rapists you say he hosts? I do not see this inference popping out in public sources. Perhaps it would be vindicating for you in this instance.
08:17 mjg59_; Ok hypothetical: if I were to tweet "https://web.archive.org/web/20210327233127/https://twitter.com/void_witch2/status/1375953488073621504 and https://twitter.com/void_witch2 are both Twitter accounts owned by Chris Punches, but they are different Twitter accounts" would that be defamatory?

08:17 mjg59_; Would any part of my statement there be untrue?
08:17 phanes; When you've identified the two rapists you referred to.
08:18 mjg59_; As I said, trivial for you to work that out
08:18 phanes; You know that I don't bend, so, trying to lock horns on it is just going to waste your energy.
08:18 mjg59_; If you can't, you're just bad at the internet
08:18 phanes; Hey, it's your article.
08:19 mjg59_; I mean
08:19 mjg59_; Anyone who cares about me who reads anything you write here is going to know who I was talking about
08:19 mjg59_; So
08:19 phanes; Do you still have the diagram?
08:19 mjg59_; I don't think you're going to be making a terribly effective point
08:20 phanes; See, you think there's no strategy here, and this is why you keep tripping up with me.
08:20 mjg59_; Look
08:20 mjg59_; Maybe you're right and your secret strategy is going to destroy everything I value in my life
08:20 phanes; There's no look.
08:20 phanes; There is only truth.
08:20 mjg59_; And all those I care about will turn against me
08:21 mjg59_; I admit that that's a possibility
08:21 phanes; I hope not
08:21 mjg59_; But you should be able to describe what that outcome looks like
08:21 phanes; My desire is not that at all
08:21 mjg59_; How do we measure the success of your strategy
08:21 mjg59_; One is that I publicly apologise to everyone I have apparently wronged
08:21 phanes; my desire is that you right the wrongs you've committed to every person you have damaged with these Garretisms, these reputational attacks with stigmatic labels
08:21 mjg59_; What do other successful outcomes look like?
08:22 mjg59_; Because if that's the only successful outcome, and if I don't do that, then you've failed
08:22 mjg59_; And I don't think you're the sort of person that optimises for single outcomes
08:22 mjg59_; So what are the others that you'd consider success?
08:22 phanes; That depends on many factors.
08:23 phanes; In the meantime, if you could clarify which two rapists you meant in your statement, that would be helpful for evaluating whether or not there's any merit to your claim, which is relevant to me.
08:23 mjg59_; Relevant to you, not to anyone I care about
08:23 mjg59_; Do your own research
08:23 phanes; Here you are operating on a fixed model again
08:23 phanes; It's worked out so well before.
08:23 phanes; Are you sure you don't want to just clarify?
08:24 mjg59_; I'm sure I already told you that a very small amount of research would give you your answer
08:24 mjg59_; I'm pretty sure you even already have evidence of it in your posession
08:24 phanes; You're telling me to research what -you- meant by your own statement as if you had published the identity of these two rapists before.
08:24 phanes; Again we're not ascertaining whether thew two men were rapists, we're ascertaining whether you were aware of their identities or not.
08:25 mjg59_; I'm telling you to stop being so fucking lazy
08:25 phanes; This is not somethign that's going to be in an open source.
08:25 mjg59_; It really is
08:25 phanes; Unless you just are so emotionally hijacked from being reigned in again that you can't process that there is no statement you've ever made that identifies these two men in this context.
08:26 phanes; It may be easy to work out
08:26 phanes; but it's not easy to work out what -you thought-
08:26 phanes; unless you clarify
08:26 phanes; Surely you're smarter than this.
08:26 phanes; I refuse to believe that you're -this- dumb.
08:27 mjg59_; My statement really isn't confusing
08:27 phanes; So, again, you are brave enough to accuse him of hosting rapists in his lab and supporting rapists lawsuits but don't stand by your words enough to actually identify them so that any truth to the claim can be established or dispelled.
08:28 phanes; Exemplary of a weak, weak character indeed.
08:28 mjg59_; Oh, the truth is trivially established
08:28 mjg59_; You're just not interested in looking for it
08:29 phanes; There is no document on the internet establishing what -you meant- when -you- said these things.
08:29 mjg59_; But also, your statement is incorrect
08:29 mjg59_; I did not accuse him of hosting rapists
08:29 phanes; Sure you did

08:30 mjg59_; "A rapist"
08:30 *schestowitz[TR2] knows mjg likes to accuse his "enemies" or somethign rape
08:30 phanes; Which rapist would that be?
08:30 mjg59_; phanes: A singular one, not a plural one
08:30 phanes; According to you, which rapist, not what the internet thinks.
08:30 schestowitz[TR2]; ritualistic defamer, at least in my case
08:30 mjg59_; Do you accept that your claim that I accused him of "hosting rapists in his lab" is false?
08:30 schestowitz[TR2]; and worded in such a way so he cannot be sued for associating people with rape
08:31 schestowitz[TR2]; go back to your therapists, mjg
08:31 phanes; schestowitz[TR2], i will find a way to bind him to justice
08:31 schestowitz[TR2]; seems you marry another ritualistic defamer
08:31 schestowitz[TR2]; some lady told me agora likes to falsely accuse people of rape
08:31 mjg59_; phanes: Did you just falsely describe what I said?
08:32 phanes; he's wordsmithing again
08:32 phanes; to distract from the fact that he's screwed up here and doesn't have the brains to navigate it
08:32 mjg59_; You literally just said something untrue about me
08:32 mjg59_; "Oops I made a mistake" is an easy thing
08:32 phanes; or the self control, or the character
08:32 schestowitz[TR2]; person x: mgj helps monopolies attack freedom
08:33 schestowitz[TR2]; mjg: don't listen!! it's a rape something!!
08:33 phanes; he's lost on all five planes
08:33 schestowitz[TR2]; (also: i am "sjw" something... who works for companies that bomb gays and women)
08:33 phanes; again
08:33 mjg59_; phanes: Do you refuse to correct your claim about me?
08:34 phanes; mjg59_, i categorically refuse most requests until you identify the two rapists you claim Dr. Bernstein supports
08:34 mjg59_; k
08:34 phanes; and your lawyer isn't going to do shit about it
08:34 schestowitz[TR2]; from the people who insinuated rms supported epstein
08:34 schestowitz[TR2]; when it was in fact bill gates
08:34 schestowitz[TR2]; from microsoft
08:34 mjg59_; Yeah I'm not going to threaten to sue you over that that would be ridiculous
08:34 schestowitz[TR2]; the company that wants mjg to work for it
08:34 schestowitz[TR2]; but he ALREADY works for itr
08:35 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR2]: You understand how recruitment in this field works, right
08:35 phanes; schestowitz[TR2], ITR?
08:35 mjg59_; Recruiters who have no idea who you are reach out to you
08:35 mjg59_; And you tell them you're not interested
08:35 schestowitz[TR2]; you work fir nmcrosoft, gratis
08:35 schestowitz[TR2]; for now
08:35 schestowitz[TR2]; *for microsofty
08:35 phanes; mjg59_, in all fairness, that's different strokes for different folks. people know who i am when they call me with a contract.
08:35 schestowitz[TR2]; microsoft<3mjg
08:36 phanes; mjg59_, if they know who i am, they know who you are, as they're usually the same folks
08:36 mjg59_; I had a recruiter from Amazon contact me last week because they were looking for someone with experience in Apache Aurora
08:36 phanes; lol well there's keyword scrapers and there's networkers
08:37 mjg59_; Because they'd just typed "aurora" into Linkedin
08:39 phanes; mjg59_, so, toning it down, last olive branch on this topic, any chance you can clarify who you meant when you said bernstein hosted a rapist in his lab and supported a rapist's lawsuit? Just want to know who "you" thought they were as it's relevant to the publication, and whether you refused to clarify or not will be part of the article in ways you won't expect.
08:40 mjg59_; It is abundently obvious to anyone with any awareness of the context who I'm referring to there
08:40 mjg59_; If you choose not to figure that out yourself, that's your problem
08:40 phanes; Ok, so, anonymous rapists that you refuse to name.
08:42 schestowitz[TR2]; all I have to say is,
08:43 schestowitz[TR2]; a) this is sort of off-topic
08:43 schestowitz[TR2]; b) from my personal experience, mjg uses shrewdly-worded innuendo to associate people he dislikes with rape
08:43 phanes; oh that's a given
08:43 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR2]: Examples?
08:43 schestowitz[TR2]; c) if challenged on it, he reaches out to lawyers, trying to create an illusion of parity, or making him the "victim"
08:44 phanes; he's got himself a nice little timeline and even upcoming nodal associations once i tackle framing
08:44 schestowitz[TR2]; bbl
08:44 schestowitz[TR2]; it's OT anyway
08:44 schestowitz[TR2]; busy day today, configuring high-throughput ipfs for techrights
08:44 phanes; ill drop it for now, i think we've seen all the courage he can muster for one night
08:44 mjg59_; Huh that sounds like an accusation made without any supporting evidence being provided
08:45 mjg59_; I'm sure it'll end up on some sort of website that documents such things
08:45 phanes; mjg59_, probably somewhere close to here starting out: https://www.abuseonline.org/database/Garrett,%20Matthew/2022-08-07/starting_notes.md
08:45 TR Bot; TAODB
08:47 mjg59_; phanes: Huh odd I'm pretty sure I explicitly said that the lawsuit was fine
08:47 mjg59_; I'm sure you'll issue a correction
08:47 phanes; You explicitly said FOIA requests in general are fine after saying that maybe this one isn't because of unrelated factors such as hosting a rapist and supporting another's lawsuit, neither of which you'll identify who you meant
08:48 phanes; perhaps bears the weight of correction in a courtroom, but as you've noticed wordsmithing to skirt around liability doesn't work on this
08:48 mjg59_; I said no such thing. That's your interpretation of what I said.
08:49 *britney (~britney@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #techrights

08:49 mjg59_; If you want to make me the primary subject of your website then, well, nothing I can do to stop you
08:50 mjg59_; But don't imply that you're some paragon of virtue in comparison to me
08:50 phanes; of course i am
08:50 phanes; we're like a different species in that category
08:50 mjg59_; You just admitted that you said something that you wouldn't be able to defend in court
08:50 phanes; no, that's just the dumber argument you made on my behalf when reality failed you

11:54 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Since EME is on all the time to enable ClearKey, there are security vulnerabilities due to DRM whether the user thinks it's on or off.
11:55 DaemonFC; The point of ClearKey seems to be that the user turns off DRM and then sites can use it anyway.
11:57 DaemonFC; It's not effective as a technical measure, because the server ends up giving the client everything it needs in order to decrypt and play the video, but rather some sort of obfuscation method that's designed to stop video downloaders. Since it's a "technical protection" mechanism even though it's easy to work around, they can demand DMCA takedowns if people start telling you how to work around it.

12:46 MinceR; mjg59_: i wonder if this means that screenshot is a fake, you were lying on shitter, or you're being deliberately obtuse just now
12:46 *ohama (ohama@freenode-0df.kav.vc6dkt.IP) has joined #techrights
12:46 MinceR; mjg59_: yes, i see him here all the time. unfortunately, i also see you here all the time.
12:46 mjg59_; MinceR: The "Secure Core" thing is bullshit and Microsoft should be fucked over it
12:47 MinceR; did "secure core" come as a surprise to you?
12:47 mjg59_; Actually yes!
12:47 mjg59_; I bought a laptop and Fedora didn't boot
12:48 mjg59_; So now I need to fix that
12:48 MinceR; after "secure boot", the attempt to add a requirement to lock people into "secure boot" as a requirement for the windows logo (which OEMs seem compelled to include) and the various attempts to make it harder for users to disable "secure boot"?
12:48 DaemonFC; Yeah, but it's still not the nastiest thing Lenovo ever did.
12:48 MinceR; and you're bragging here about your PhD and how smart you are?
12:48 DaemonFC; At least on mjg59_'s laptop you could change a setting without contacting the government and asking for an antitrust investigation.
12:48 mjg59_; Ok in 2012 Microsoft said that they were going to mandate Secure Boot and there'd be no requirement for a disable switch
12:48 MinceR; after a lot of backlash
12:49 MinceR; and only on x86[_64]
12:49 MinceR; on ARM, they did what they originally wanted
12:49 MinceR; and what they would have done on x86[_64], were it not for the backlash
12:49 mjg59_; And we figured out a way to get free software to still work in that world
12:49 mjg59_; And now they're trying to walk that back
12:49 DaemonFC; mjg59_, Did they tell you it couldn't run Linux because of a hinge? They told me "only Windows supports the hinge". Which I assume means tablet mode. Windows 10 only had a virtual keyboard for 3-4 applications at that time.
12:49 mjg59_; And it's bullshit
12:49 DaemonFC; Nothing else triggered it to come up.
12:49 MinceR; oh, i almost forgot the 32bit uefi implementation they came up for intel atom just to fuck with people who wanted to run a real OS on their own property
12:49 DaemonFC; GNOME had better tablet support.
12:50 DaemonFC; And it automatically detected me flipping it over into tablet mode.
12:50 mjg59_; MinceR: Oh Microsoft actually hated the 32 bit uefi stuff
12:50 DaemonFC; Lenovo is just very very dishonest, but mjg59_ likes them for some reason even though they were sued for putting malicious software into Windows and lost.
12:50 MinceR; MICROS~1 and intHell have been doing many things in uefi publicly to try to fuck with people who were trying to run anything other than windows or macOS, and "secure core" somehow comes as a surprise to you.
12:50 DaemonFC; Superfish laptops....
12:51 MinceR; i liked lenovo back when they made laptops that weren't garbage
12:51 DaemonFC; Then there was the one that used the UEFI "theft recovery" feature to reinstall all the crapware the minute you reloaded Windows.
12:51 DaemonFC; Even from a Microsoft-provided ISO.
12:51 MinceR; laptops that had comfortable keyboards, TrackPoints that actually worked, a case that was designed for serviceability and no uefi
12:51 DaemonFC; mjg59_ thinks this is a company worth siding with over the users, I guess. I don't know. That's what he seems to be implying to me.
12:52 DaemonFC; They're very misunderstood, you know.
12:52 MinceR; oh and batteries that didn't swell up in a few years
12:52 MinceR; and didn't need 3 hands to remove from the device
12:52 DaemonFC; They keep doing such innocent little things like Superfish and the crapware-reinstalling BIOS.
12:52 MinceR; because the retards at lenovo even forgot why one of the latches for the ThinkPad battery wasn't spring-loaded.
12:52 mjg59_; MinceR: I am not going to defend Lenovo on those points
12:53 DaemonFC; mjg59_, They're just super shady.
12:53 DaemonFC; They have been for a long time.
12:53 DaemonFC; What I've gone with them was a bad act in a litany of prior bad acts, and I think you know that.
12:53 MinceR; but then the whole industry went to shit anyway
12:54 DaemonFC; *gone through
12:54 MinceR; you can't buy a new device the "modern" web will run on that doesn't have at least one hardware backdoor, at least one battery you aren't supposed to be able to remove and boot firmware that tries to prevent you from running the OS of your choice
12:54 DaemonFC; At this point, Lenovo has been caught with their pants down so many times that to suggest that we default to giving them the benefit of a doubt is insane.
12:55 MinceR; the same applies to MICROS~1 and intHell
12:55 MinceR; especially when it comes to uefi
12:56 DaemonFC; Intel makes a lot of money. Their sales are down so now we all have to pay them through the IRS and get nothing at all.
12:56 DaemonFC; See how that works?
12:57 TR News; By the end of the day, we hope, all ipfs objects of techrights will be fully available again. Over the past year it was hard to reach them due to severe lack of capacity.

12:58 schestowitz[TR2]; mjg59_: you could go on with your dick-measuring content comparing achievement, but I, unlike you, didn't attack Linux and GNU

22:21 DaemonFC; No matter how much I get, no matter how hard I work, someone always comes and takes it from me. So I realized, why bother?
22:21 DaemonFC; You save money, the government inflates it all away.
22:21 DaemonFC; You make more, they take away your healthcare and you have to figure it all out in the "individual market".
22:22 DaemonFC; Every dollar you make past a certain point doesn't even result in a 10 cent benefit to you.
22:23 DaemonFC; Today, the Democrats in the Senate are blowing each other for passing an "Inflation Reduction" bill, whose only permanent feature is a bigger, nastier IRS.
22:23 DaemonFC; It spends a lot of my money buying expensive toys for rich people (EVs).
22:23 DaemonFC; And their signature amendment, the one that was actually supposed benefit people with lower drug costs, got stripped out by Manchin, Sinema, and the Republicans.
22:24 DaemonFC; Affordable Insulin for diabetics is pretty much gone. Only helps old people on Medicare.
22:24 DaemonFC; Medicare negotiating the price of drugs was cut back to, a few dozen, eventually, years from now, out of many thousands that are bankrupting Medicare today.
22:25 DaemonFC; The enhanced Obummercare subsidies were extended, for 12 months, so they end if you don't vote for Joe Biden again.
22:25 DaemonFC; But the IRS bullshit goes on for the entire 10 year budget window.

22:25 DaemonFC; If Bernie Sanders was a real progressive, then instead of rolling over on this, he'd fight like hell.
22:26 DaemonFC; He'd tank it until they brought back something better.
22:26 DaemonFC; He goes, "Well, there's the environment!" while the thing props up Manchin's coal plants and includes mandatory lease issuance for oil and gas companies.
22:27 DaemonFC; This is a horrible bill, and it would be better had they not passed anything at all, like most of what they do.
22:28 DaemonFC; Then it lobs news taxes that will get pushed down to consumers and make inflation even worse than it is now.
22:29 DaemonFC; The entire thing is just spend spend spend, and they're going to take it out of our asses again. Someone needs to do something to neuter the Biden administration even if it is vote for the Republicans.
22:29 DaemonFC; I've had it.

22:34 DaemonFC; I don't think even Stallman supported the idea of arbitrary bureaucrats deciding what "a good reason" is. I told him about FOID in Illinois and how the State Police are supposed to monitor dangerous individuals, however, they gave Robert Crimo III a FOID Card after (1) being thrown out of public school for being fucking psychotic and having a kill book showing him gunning down a school, complete with a red inkpen for blood, and then his parents
22:34 DaemonFC; refused a psychiatrist that the state offered to pay for. Then (2) years later, the police came out because he was threatening suicide and took 19 knives and swords from his house, and then (3) responded again a few months later because he was threatening to kill family members _and_ himself.
22:34 DaemonFC; So how effective are the laws the court is throwing out?
22:35 DaemonFC; The Illinois State Police gave our most recent horrific mass shooter permission to buy a high powered assault rifle even though they ignored three major red flags that were on his permanent record.
22:36 DaemonFC; It's very interesting how they operate in there. If they can't bother to verify they have the correct pictures on several hundred cards and don't realize what they're doing for an entire monht.
22:36 DaemonFC; *month
22:40 DaemonFC; The State Police offered me automatic FOID card renewals if I submitted fingerprints.
22:40 DaemonFC; I asked where I could go to do that and they said there are no places where they'll accept fingerprints from.
22:40 DaemonFC; I asked if they knew when they would start doing that, and the guy on the phone told me now.
22:40 DaemonFC; *no
22:41 DaemonFC; The law changes to allow that, and so they undermine the intent of the legislature by not authorizing anyone to collect fingerprints they'll accept.

22:52 ulf; nice, www-client/w3m finished compilation with tcc compiler... another dozen of builds to repair
22:53 ulf; and some nasty blockers remaining which locked into gcc/binutils, hence i created a temporary exception for those
22:53 ulf; perl, python/libffi, gcc itself, binutils, musl-libc...
22:53 ulf; alot of careful review remaining
22:53 ulf; ideally i can remove this entirely: gcc, binutils
22:54 ulf; at least i do not want anything to depend on this anymore, because i had to block at gcc-4.7/binutils-2.22
22:55 *techuser (~techuser@nn58qcu3qngy2.irc) has joined #techrights
22:55 ulf; next one to repair: alsa-lib which uses some symbol-versioning magic incompatible with tcc compiler/linker... not sure how difficult this one will be to cope with
22:56 ulf; currently, it is 3 failed builds remaining only, which block another dozen dependening on those... not much, however those seem to be the more difficult ones to deal with
22:56 ulf; and i had excluded gnu gettext/intltool temporarily... because related perl dependencies and their makefiles are f**cked
22:57 ulf; i mean, i have finished almost the entire userspace already
22:57 ulf; reminds me, sys-apps/busybox needs repair too... which utilizes linux kbuild system, and this freaked out over tcc compiler/linker too
22:58 ulf; not easy to repair, at least it is possible
22:58 *techuser has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
22:58 ulf; and i mean, this is a breakthrough, revolutionary, to "Free Software", i could rescue a c-only profile and compile almost the entire userspace with tcc

23:26 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I sat down and figured it all out. How many hours Mandy can work where we keep all of our money, or substantially all of it.
23:26 schestowitz[TR2]; i see..
23:26 schestowitz[TR2]; well, you can always pick a job too
23:26 schestowitz[TR2]; it's a GREAT ecopnomy
23:27 DaemonFC; I save up throughout the year, and then I have him take unpaid time off work and he ends up taking a week at Thanksgiving or Christmas or something and some unpaid vacation days and stuff.
23:27 schestowitz[TR2]; according to CNN et tal
23:27 schestowitz[TR2]; the economy is HUNGRY for more workers ;-)
23:27 DaemonFC; If he ever quits, they're going to have to pay him quite a lot.
23:27 schestowitz[TR2]; otherwise they're "lazy"
23:27 schestowitz[TR2]; quites? or fired?
23:27 DaemonFC; He has like 18 days of sick time and over a month of vacation.
23:27 DaemonFC; Either way.
23:27 DaemonFC; The law says that's yours.
23:28 DaemonFC; He has vacation that will turn into sick if it rolls over at the end of this year.
23:28 DaemonFC; So that starts going into sick, which is even better.
23:28 DaemonFC; Because vacation is just vacation. It doesn't cover you for being pointed. You can use sick however you want.
23:28 schestowitz[TR2]; anmyway, back to tech now
23:28 schestowitz[TR2]; I got ipfs all working again
23:28 schestowitz[TR2]; better than before
23:28 schestowitz[TR2]; catching up with news now.
23:29 schestowitz[TR2]; DaemonFC: personal diaries are for another channel
23:29 DaemonFC; You earlier mentioned not making much money per year.
23:29 schestowitz[TR2]; i make enough to live
23:29 DaemonFC; I try to keep us at the ceiling for not having to pay the IRS and keeping my health insurance.
23:29 schestowitz[TR2]; at least I don't waste my life doing things I dislike or which only benefit other pricks like Gulag or MSFT
23:29 DaemonFC; If we earn more than that, it defeats the point because we can't earn so much more than that, that it would make up for paying the taxes and losing the insurance.
23:30 schestowitz[TR2]; biab
23:30 DaemonFC; I didn't say that earning some and stopping there was wrong.
23:30 DaemonFC; It's smart.
23:30 schestowitz[TR2]; the main goal is to run techrights for 10, 20 more years
23:30 DaemonFC; The more you fight to earn, the more they take from you and give to someone else.
23:30 schestowitz[TR2]; should be doable
23:31 schestowitz[TR2]; DaemonFC: if you want to help with some programming bits, good experience in the process
23:31 DaemonFC; There's no real reason to try to earn a six figure salary unless you have kids.
23:31 DaemonFC; I don't have any.
23:31 techuser; donate to somewhere
23:31 techuser; IRC friends?
23:31 schestowitz[TR2]; 3 kids are like a million bucks, depends how and where you live
23:32 schestowitz[TR2]; and they're not a special project
23:32 schestowitz[TR2]; billions of people worldwide have offspring
23:32 techuser; cuddlybear66: relevant?
23:32 schestowitz[TR2]; DaemonFC: your parents made you for themselves
23:32 DaemonFC; Yeah, it's better to just read books all day until the neighbors smell something and that's when the police find the cat eating you.
23:32 schestowitz[TR2]; to make them offspring
23:32 DaemonFC; It draws social ire though, contempt.
23:32 schestowitz[TR2]; felta felt kinda buyer's remorse
23:32 schestowitz[TR2]; no grandkids
23:33 DaemonFC; My black and white cat likes my mother for some reason.
23:33 schestowitz[TR2]; that's good
23:33 DaemonFC; She's a very good natured cat, but I've never seen her jump into someone's lap before.
23:34 schestowitz[TR2]; I might want to write something about ipfs now... maybe a video even
23:34 schestowitz[TR2]; biab
23:34 DaemonFC; She's the cat I found in the hallway of an apartment building and she turned out to be pregnant.

23:35 DaemonFC; I found good homes for 3 of them and took the other two to a nice no-kill shelter.
23:36 DaemonFC; So they all survived.
23:37 DaemonFC; I take in stray kittens sometimes it seems. There was one when I lived in Indiana that came running up to me and jumped into my hands one winter, and I wasn't just going to leave him out there to freeze. I don't know how he got separated from his mother. Maybe someone dumped him.
23:37 DaemonFC; There's a lot of people. There's many cats that could use a home. The cats exist already. They don't need a lot. Just bags of food.
