06:22 reptilian_thrills; basically musk will have to prove himself. im not sure he will.
06:22 reptilian_thrills; i said twitter would become the vanity project of a rich idiot
06:22 reptilian_thrills; now it is
06:23 reptilian_thrills; twitter fits your "x is dying" model where anything you dont like is DOOMED
06:23 reptilian_thrills; and anything you like will be saved by internet jesus
06:23 reptilian_thrills; you dont even have to say its going to fail, all you have to say is you dont like it (youve said so) and we can PREDICT that YOU will say its doomed
06:24 schestowitz[TR]; "X is dying" like meme you made?

06:27 reptilian_thrills; there isnt one, but go ahead
06:27 schestowitz[TR]; count the companies I'd never call "dying"
06:27 schestowitz[TR]; because they aren't
06:27 schestowitz[TR]; like amazon
06:27 reptilian_thrills; okay
06:27 schestowitz[TR]; amazon has momentum based on a real hold on the market
06:27 schestowitz[TR]; FB not
06:27 reptilian_thrills; same as github
06:27 schestowitz[TR]; github is shrinking
06:27 reptilian_thrills; github is the amazon of source code
06:27 schestowitz[TR]; in relative terms
06:28 schestowitz[TR]; like skype and linkedin did
06:28 reptilian_thrills; github is shrinking <- no its not! this is imaginary bullshit
06:28 schestowitz[TR]; imaginew paying for linkedin 34 billion today
06:28 schestowitz[TR]; when the job market is "dying"
06:28 schestowitz[TR]; and there are many linkedin layoffs
06:28 schestowitz[TR]; and the things it competes against or positions itself against are dying

06:29 reptilian_thrills; i only know one person that uses linkedin and they havent checked it in a year
06:29 schestowitz[TR]; <reptilian_thrills> github is shrinking <- no its not! this is imaginary bullshit
06:29 reptilian_thrills; thats a bit different from github
06:29 schestowitz[TR]; maybe in 2018 github was 80% of git projects
06:29 schestowitz[TR]; and now it's 60-70%
06:29 schestowitz[TR]; many are not visible
06:29 reptilian_thrills; youre making those numbers up
06:29 schestowitz[TR]; they are locked away
06:29 schestowitz[TR]; self-hosted in companies
06:29 reptilian_thrills; oh youre so full of it :/
06:29 schestowitz[TR]; then there is gitlab.com and gitlab CE
06:30 schestowitz[TR]; and cgit
06:30 schestowitz[TR]; gitea, gogs..
06:30 reptilian_thrills; yeah gitlabs doing well :/
06:30 schestowitz[TR]; gemini
06:30 schestowitz[TR]; gitlab is not doiung well
06:30 reptilian_thrills; yeah, alternatives arent a new thing
06:30 schestowitz[TR]; it did ipo

06:30 schestowitz[TR]; gitlab is losing money
06:30 schestowitz[TR]; sourcehut also
06:30 reptilian_thrills; gitlab is not doiung well <- i was being sarcastic about that

06:30 schestowitz[TR]; ok, i c
06:31 reptilian_thrills; sourcehut also <- sourcehut has a fucked model
06:31 schestowitz[TR]; silicon valley is like a siolicon injectin
06:31 schestowitz[TR]; it's fake
06:31 reptilian_thrills; i hope they fix it
06:31 schestowitz[TR]; it long relied on being able to run at a loss
06:31 schestowitz[TR]; and some pension funds or whatnot would "invest"
06:31 schestowitz[TR]; that era is ending
06:31 reptilian_thrills; silicon valley has a monopoly of tech for the most part
06:31 schestowitz[TR]; hence companies like aurora and argo hey hi collapse
06:31 reptilian_thrills; that era is ending <- oh boy
06:31 schestowitz[TR]; too much in losses for far too long
06:32 schestowitz[TR]; 70 billion down the drain
06:32 schestowitz[TR]; now the same with twitter
06:32 reptilian_thrills; hence companies like aurora <- oh, yes. your obsession with them isnt based PURELY on mjg :D
06:32 reptilian_thrills; dude
06:32 reptilian_thrills; this is comedy
06:32 schestowitz[TR]; no

06:32 reptilian_thrills; wait, what significance does aurora have other than mjg working for them?
06:32 schestowitz[TR]; it's sold based on lies

06:57 DaemonFC; The GPG public key was generated using a very obsolete version that the GPG people say not to use.
06:57 DaemonFC; It then points to a public key that's not even on your machine. It's on a Microsoft Web server, and this means that an attacker who compromises the server can replace that key with theirs, replace Edge with a Trojan Horse of their own making, and then you'll have it the next time your computer updates.

07:12 DaemonFC; One of the things that really makes me go "Hmm...." about Firefox is how their Sync system works.
07:12 DaemonFC; It saves everything with your password, which they know. This is also what Chrome defaults to do.
07:12 DaemonFC; Vivaldi changes that around and forces you to set up a sync decryption passphrase and it all gets encrypted with that before it gets sent off and encrypted again using your account password.
07:12 DaemonFC; And it's in Norway, where there are data privacy laws. 1/2
07:12 DaemonFC; @BaronHK
07:12 DaemonFC; GNOME Web can use Firefox Sync, but Mozilla changed it recently so all you get are a bunch of Sync Failed errors, and since there's no way to import bookmarks as HTML or passwords as CSV, that pretty much turns GNOME Web into a brick for most people, unless they want to import everything by hand.

18:51 DaemonFC; The Senate race in Nevada seems to be the biggest sticking point at the moment. The Democrat keeps inching forward and closing the gap.
18:52 DaemonFC; The good news is that most of the remaining ballots are favoring her.
18:53 DaemonFC; Hopefully she can get this sewn up before they have to get into the provisional ballots and have Trump on "Truth Social" saying that she only won because they gave her all the ballots with problems.
18:53 DaemonFC; This is the mess that the Help America Vote Act created.
18:54 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
18:56 DaemonFC; States with Voter ID (Nevada doesn't have it) tend to have way more provisional ballots to clean up at the end of the election.
18:56 DaemonFC; Lake County, Illinois has no voter ID but had 7,384 provisional ballots anyway. They tried to tell me I had to use one.
18:57 DaemonFC; That does tell you that election judges are challenging people here even despite no voter ID laws, and it's not clear how many of these ballots are just thrown in the trash because the voter never came back to fix what was wrong with them.

19:11 DaemonFC; If I was a black guy with a machine gun and a trunk full of fentanyl and cocaine, I would have been punished less.
19:11 DaemonFC; That's where the courts are. So glad you asked.
19:12 DaemonFC; Racism is fine as long as it's a double-barreled shotgun pointed at white people (and Asians). In America, anyway.
19:13 DaemonFC; The way universities have applied Affirmative Action, it actually acts as a gatekeeper to prevent the best candidates from going to college.
19:14 DaemonFC; They hang out a big sign, in California and Illinois, that says "No Asians need to apply at all and we'll make it twice as hard to get in here if you're White." and then stuff it full of black people and Mexicans that barely made it through high school.
19:14 DaemonFC; California got so fed up with it that they had a Proposition on the ballot in 1998 that ended the worst of it, and it soared to the finish line.
19:14 DaemonFC; In Illinois, not so much. It's as bad as ever.
19:15 DaemonFC; The Affirmative Action actually also hurts the qualified minorities, even if they are "black and brown".
19:15 DaemonFC; It actually punishes you for having "too high" of an intelligence score.
19:16 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
19:16 DaemonFC; Because it comes back and gives them like 7 or 8 ways to say "Well, there's all these other scores we can pull out of our asses to make sure all the idiots get approved.".

19:17 DaemonFC; So what you see with Affirmative Action is that black and brown = good, and stupid = great, and now you know why there's a lot of student loans out there that people can't pay.
19:18 DaemonFC; MinceR, I was watching Lifeforce. Which is actually a good movie and it was a box office bomb.
19:18 DaemonFC; Patrick Stewart is even in it, possessed by the naked space vampire woman.
19:19 DaemonFC; He plays a psychiatrist and one of his lines is "The child killer? But the man has the IQ of a child of 4!".

19:20 KiKi; something has to be done to get America straight as it was
19:21 DaemonFC; You know, back in the 90s it was mostly all California that was shitty and deranged and full of all the nuts and weirdos.
19:21 DaemonFC; But since then, the Democrats have gained the upper hand in places that used to be okay to live in.
19:21 DaemonFC; And they've made those places terrible too.
19:22 DaemonFC; There also used to be diversity within the Democratic Party in some places, so you could vote for them without worrying that your state would turn into a California or an Illinois.
19:22 DaemonFC; I think the Democrats in Indiana are down to like 7 or 8 seats in the Indiana Senate. That's their worst election performance in my lifetime.
19:23 KiKi; a civil war is indeed justified
19:23 DaemonFC; And it's because the party doesn't seem to realize that it's in Indiana and go to the voters and kind of meet them where they are.
19:23 KiKi; unless that happens nothing is gonna be fair
19:23 DaemonFC; You're not going to go up to Indiana voters and propose extreme gun bans and dumping the prisons out on them.
19:24 DaemonFC; If you promise them that, they'll promise you you won't be running anything in their state ever again.
19:24 DaemonFC; So you've already lost.
19:24 DaemonFC; In some _places_ in Indiana, you know, there are still Democrats who "get it".
19:24 DaemonFC; Like Mayor Tom Henry in Fort Wayne.
19:24 KiKi; its prep time
19:25 DaemonFC; I volunteered with his campaign even though there were more progressive candidates, because I knew those other ones would lose.
19:25 DaemonFC; The polling of the districts showed it would happen.
19:25 KiKi; its not about race or anything but US needs some shock to wake up
19:25 DaemonFC; There were many voters out there who said they would vote for Tom Henry but not for any other Democrat that the poll asked about.
19:26 DaemonFC; It would have been a disaster.
19:26 DaemonFC; The Republicans on the City Council were proposing some really bad bills, and as long as Henry was the mayor, he could veto them.
19:26 DaemonFC; It's pragmatism.
19:26 KiKi; the current normal is not normal for anyone , this not my America
19:26 DaemonFC; Any smart person can see that sometimes when you can't win, you can at least not lose everything.
19:27 DaemonFC; But the national Democratic Party isn't that smart anymore.
19:27 DaemonFC; They got REALLY lucky this year. The Supreme Court's rulings have been incredibly unpopular and Donald Trump is still out there as something of an albatross, saddling the Republicans, who are all still afraid of him, with bad candidates.
19:28 DaemonFC; If Georgia had not had Herschel Walker, the election would be over now and it would be a guaranteed Republican seat.
19:28 DaemonFC; Warnock will probably win the runoff, but it will be dangerously close.
19:28 KiKi; he is a false prophet
19:28 DaemonFC; The Democrats always tend to wander off and disappear in midterms.
19:29 KiKi; i mean trump
19:29 DaemonFC; They forget we're having an election and then the Republicans do very well in Congress and completely derail everything.
19:29 DaemonFC; This is not 1994 or 2010, though.
19:30 DaemonFC; Bill Clinton got to deal with Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" and Obama got to deal with the TEA Party and the Budget Sequestration Act.
19:30 DaemonFC; But Biden? He'll still have most of the good cards in the deck after this settles.
19:30 DaemonFC; If the Republicans have the House, it'll be by 1-2 seats most likely, which is not enough to keep the government shut down demanding unpopular "reforms" to Social Security.
19:31 DaemonFC; Biden has already said, "No, never, absolutely not." and has preemptively threatened to veto this.
19:31 DaemonFC; 1-2 Republicans will eventually vote to re-open the government, and the Republicans will get little or nothing in return for it, and the disaster is averted for a couple more years.
19:32 *KiKi has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
19:32 DaemonFC; This is actually the next worst thing to just outright losing the House again.
19:32 DaemonFC; A "technical majority".
19:33 DaemonFC; Technically, you're running it, but there's always enough of your own members to screw up what you're trying to do.
19:34 DaemonFC; The voters haven't given you any sort of mandate. There's 20 of your own members who got in with margins under 1% who had better not do anything unpopular if they want to stay in Congress.
19:34 DaemonFC; There's no room to let them vote NO and say they didn't go along with it and have your agenda pass.
19:34 DaemonFC; So they won't cooperate.
19:35 DaemonFC; A politician's first priority is not to fall on their own sword so that some guy from California can be more popular in the caucus.
19:35 *KiKi (~KiKi@ha46zbxgz6kc8.irc) has joined #techrights
19:36 DaemonFC; If they have to get a majority, obviously I hope it's exactly 218 or no more than 219. That seems realistic at this point.
19:36 DaemonFC; Like 80% of the outcomes fall there from where we're at. And like 10% would be the Democrats pull ahead in all remaining districts and get 218, and 10% fall in the Republicans get 220 or 221 seats.
19:36 KiKi; do u
19:37 DaemonFC; 218 Republicans would actually be incredibly embarrassing.
19:37 KiKi; 218 plus is unlikely
19:37 DaemonFC; No room for even one person to vote no and they still get flak for everything.
19:37 DaemonFC; Hell, the entire party may fall into infighting and not have a House Speaker for months.
19:38 DaemonFC; Without a House Speaker, their majority falls apart immediately until they get a House Speaker.
19:38 DaemonFC; Because you can't do anything but vote for a House Speaker until there is one.
19:39 DaemonFC; It might actually get so bad that the Republicans come to the Democrats going "Look, you can't get who you want, so what do you want in exchange for supporting me?".
19:39 KiKi; hmmm got it
19:40 DaemonFC; Then the majority is fragile in other ways too. Like when the Senate is evenly split.
19:40 KiKi; can't even vote trusting these politicians
19:40 DaemonFC; The Democrats are all going to start looking for Republicans that they can offer things to in order to change parties.
19:41 DaemonFC; "How does an extra several billion dollars for your District in the next federal budget sound?"
19:41 DaemonFC; "We'll give you whatever Committee chair you want to be."
19:41 KiKi; cucks
19:41 DaemonFC; Yeah, politics gets nasty when there's the bare minimum for a majority.
19:42 DaemonFC; It happened to George W. Bush in 2001.
19:42 KiKi; thats when he started the war
19:42 DaemonFC; Senate started out 50/50 but Al Gore was the Vice President until January 20th, so he voted control of the chamber to the Democrats.
19:42 DaemonFC; Then Cheney voted control to the Republicans.
19:42 DaemonFC; Then one of the Republicans changed parties in exchange for some things, and voted control back to the Democrats that summer.
19:43 DaemonFC; So party control of the Senate changed three times in one year.
19:43 DaemonFC; Then in 2002, the Republicans won seats, and control changed back in 2003.
19:44 KiKi; and America still votes
19:44 KiKi; sad
19:44 DaemonFC; The Senate is actually the chamber that ends up representing the people (such that it is), and that's not how it was set up to operate.
19:45 MinceR; what does the HR do then?
19:45 DaemonFC; The Constitution intended for the House to be under the direct control of popular elections, but gerrymandering put politicians in control of who gets to vote for them.
19:45 MinceR; ic
19:45 DaemonFC; Thanks to modern gerrymandering using detailed voting records, you can gerrymander districts for the House down to an actual single dwelling in that state.
19:46 DaemonFC; You can draw the line specifically around someone's house so that they're in a different congressional district than their neighbor.
19:46 DaemonFC; They know how the elections went down to the precinct levels.
19:47 DaemonFC; And so they basically include whatever precincts they want to get the gerrymander they're out to get.
19:47 DaemonFC; They don't know precisely how people will decide to vote in a given year, so they leave themselves some buffer zone where they can lose some of the "expected" vote and still win that election.
19:48 DaemonFC; MinceR, So Illinois is a great example of an extreme gerrymander.
19:49 DaemonFC; The election went exactly the way the Democrats designed the maps.
19:49 KiKi; were the republicans sleeping when this happened
19:50 DaemonFC; https://wgntv.com/illinois-election-results/
19:50 TR Bot; Election 2022: Results for Illinois Elections
19:50 DaemonFC; No, they sued over this.
19:50 DaemonFC; Look at the margins.
19:50 DaemonFC; The Republicans that did win won with like 75%+ of the vote, right?
19:50 KiKi; ok
19:51 DaemonFC; So the goal of gerrymandering is to force your opponent to win as few seats as possible by way of forcing most of their party's voters to waste their vote.
19:51 DaemonFC; So you look at the Democrats, and they usually win by a 3-5% margin.
19:52 DaemonFC; Then you look at the Republicans and they won by a 50%+ margin.
19:52 DaemonFC; That's because their voters got boxed in by the Democrats running the state government, so their votes would be wasted.
19:52 DaemonFC; But there's still the same (roughly) number of voters in those districts, and it complies with "one person, one vote".
19:53 DaemonFC; To achieve this goal, the Democrats took people like Robin Kelly, and they extended her South Chicago congressional district out into some VERY rural areas where Republican live.
19:53 DaemonFC; But she's still safe because there's not enough of them to throw her out of Congress, but they're living in her district now.
19:54 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
19:54 DaemonFC; Then they'd take a district the Republicans had been winning, and remove some Republicans from it, and then kindly attach it to Springfield and Peoria.
19:54 DaemonFC; Indiana's Republicans did the same thing.
19:55 DaemonFC; They were at risk of losing a district in the Indianapolis suburbs, so they expanded it out into some rural areas and secured it.
19:55 KiKi; so basically voter list manipulation based on legislative borders
19:55 DaemonFC; So out of 435 House seats, American voters only have control of about 35 of them now.
19:55 DaemonFC; <KiKi> so basically voter list manipulation based on legislative borders
19:56 DaemonFC; Exactly.
19:56 KiKi; how communist
19:56 DaemonFC; But the US Senate can't be gerrymandered.
19:56 KiKi; this is exactly them
19:56 DaemonFC; Every state gets two Senators and the elections are statewide.
19:56 DaemonFC; Before 1917, the state legislatures selected US Senators. There was no popular vote.
19:57 DaemonFC; It was a very corrupt process.
19:59 DaemonFC; Then what happens in those districts like the Republican ones in Illinois, and the couple of Democrat ones in Indiana, where they CANNOT lose?
19:59 DaemonFC; The party has no disincentive to nominate its worst, because they can't lose.
20:00 DaemonFC; The same thing happens in state legislatures.
20:00 DaemonFC; The Democrats picked up seats in the Illinois House and Senate, AGAIN.
20:00 DaemonFC; They already had a supermajority, but now there's more.
20:01 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights
20:01 DaemonFC; Illinois has turned into a one party state. NBC 5 Chicago reported that 27 of the counties just had their voters pass ballot measures saying that they want to secede from Illinois and form a new state.
20:02 KiKi; only supreme court can decide that
20:02 DaemonFC; Those counties are basically the lower third of the state.
20:02 DaemonFC; Well, secession would be possible, but....
20:03 DaemonFC; It requires the consent of the state legislature and a bill from Congress reorganizing them as a territory until they propose a state Constitution that would have to be ratified by Congress along with a petition for statehood.
20:03 DaemonFC; SO basically, you have to get the Illinois state government to okay it and then Congress has to do a lot of stuff too.
20:04 KiKi; so never
20:05 DaemonFC; At the Congressional level, you'd be facing some Illinois House and Senate members there, as well as the Democrats, which would NEVER okay this, because a new state made up of those counties would mean two more Republican Senators, and that the remainder of Illinois would lose House seats and the ones the new state gains would be guaranteed to be Republicans.
20:05 DaemonFC; Suddenly you'd have 102 Senators instead of 100, and if you had this now, you'd have 52 Republicans and 50 Democrats.
20:06 DaemonFC; So the Republicans would immediately control the US Senate.
20:06 KiKi; I THINK 2024 WILL be the year America wins or lose . world is changing an America better be in order to deal with that.
20:06 DaemonFC; The people in downstate Illinois realize what's happening to them.
20:07 KiKi; everybody now understands
20:07 DaemonFC; THey realize that (1) Chicago is now the state government (and it's more than 500 miles away from them) and (2) their concerns don't matter in the state government anymore because they don't have significant representation to even bring anything up for a vote.
20:07 KiKi; the state is divided
20:08 DaemonFC; Extremely divided, but it's illegal for the people down there to change it.
20:08 DaemonFC; So they're treated as some sort of defeated colony.
20:08 DaemonFC; Indiana has Democrats, sure, but they don't really have things like THIS going on.
20:09 DaemonFC; The population is spread out enough across the state that every region at least gets SOME say in how the state is governed.
20:09 DaemonFC; And the locals in the cities get some leeway in how they govern those cities.
20:10 DaemonFC; So it's not this bitter sort of hatred going on.
20:10 DaemonFC; In Illinois, you have one city running everything, it can't stand the fact that people live 500 miles away and want to run their own lives, so it passes laws revoking everything they want to do down there.
20:11 KiKi; why
20:11 DaemonFC; Basically, the Democrats are trolling those people just because they can.
20:11 KiKi; whats that logic ?
20:11 KiKi; uck
20:11 MinceR; sociopaths doing sociopath things
20:11 MinceR; welcome to human society
20:11 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
20:11 DaemonFC; "You want some factories down there? Well, eat shit. Here's some Chicago laws for your minimum wage, unions, and all this other stuff.".
20:12 DaemonFC; "You want a hunting rifle? Fuck you. Eat the Chicago FOID Act.".
20:12 DaemonFC; "You want law and order? Up yours! Here's the Chicago SAFE-T law that will release all of your criminals.".
20:13 DaemonFC; "You don't want your 4 year old being taught that maybe he's a girl and he just doesn't know it? Well, here's a Chicago law forcing your teacher to tell him he might be a girl and want his penis cut off."
20:13 KiKi; all these laws will choke up people
20:13 DaemonFC; Oh, they're madder than Hell about it.
20:14 KiKi; and either kill them or render them dead
20:14 DaemonFC; A lot of them have voted to become Home Rule and nullify state laws that way.
20:14 DaemonFC; And when they can't, they pass ordinances that stop county money from going to their Sheriffs and State's Attorneys to enforce the FOID Act, or something.
20:14 techuser; at least (s)he won't reproduce if it happens
20:14 DaemonFC; So they figure out ways to not go along with it, sometimes.
20:14 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights
20:14 DaemonFC; What we're seeing here is that it might be the law down there, but they're not cooperating with it.
20:15 techuser; better no reproduction than stupid parents who don't know how to use condoms or whatever
20:15 DaemonFC; But the Democrats don't do anything to stop the non-cooperation.
20:15 DaemonFC; So it works.
20:15 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
20:15 techuser; or who think they want children, until they see their lives ruined
20:15 DaemonFC; We have a third of our state in non-compliance with the state laws, because they had no input in those laws.
20:15 DaemonFC; This is a constitutional crisis that we're just pretending doesn't happen.
20:16 KiKi; if they are in non-compliance how does the law function
20:16 KiKi; is it street law
20:16 DaemonFC; No school board down there is going to fire a teacher for refusing to read Pritzker's Transgender Propaganda.
20:17 KiKi; hell man
20:17 DaemonFC; So, why is it a state law?
20:17 *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@qqashmmai9reg.irc) has joined #techrights
20:17 DaemonFC; So they can just take that book and rip it up and throw it over their shoulder and the public will be out there throwing them a parade.
20:17 DaemonFC; Pritzker can't do anything about that.
20:17 KiKi; too much unionization is it ?
20:18 DaemonFC; No, it's basically that the school boards have a lot of control over who gets hired and fired.
20:18 DaemonFC; And the boards are usually parents who have kids going to that school.
20:18 KiKi; oh ok that is good
20:18 KiKi; atleast they have control
20:19 DaemonFC; So the teacher might be breaking the "mandatory public instruction" law, but the board decides whether they have a job or not, not the Governor.
20:19 DaemonFC; The only sanction the state could take is withholding state money to the school, but then the school fails and there's no school.
20:19 DaemonFC; So basically it's this huge game of chicken where the state is going to blink firt.
20:19 DaemonFC; *first
20:20 KiKi; that was what i was just abt to ask

20:23 DaemonFC; The Alliance was basically Space Democrats.

20:39 MinceR; so the bullshit about rifle accessories idiot politicians thought looked scary is gone?
20:39 DaemonFC; And it didn't really ban anything. All the gun companies had to do were make minor and mostly cosmetic changes to evade the law and their products were all legal again.
20:39 DaemonFC; Yeah, it had a 10 year sunset on it, MinceR

20:40 DaemonFC; Plus, almost everything it banned was still legal if it was made before 1994.
20:40 DaemonFC; So there were millions of exempt guns already out there.
20:40 DaemonFC; You can keep refurbishing them forever.
20:41 DaemonFC; It's still perfectly legal to own a fully automatic weapon if you get a tax stamp from the ATF and it was made before 1986.
20:41 MinceR; i'm not sure how much that would help against a tyrannical government (as per the original intention of the amendment)

20:42 DaemonFC; Well, the Second Amendment was passed at a time when the federal government wasn't that much better armed than the Citizens were anyway, and it was fighting off pretty much, the British, using Citizen Militias that didn't really strongly object to the federal government obviously.
20:43 DaemonFC; But in time it grew increasingly tyrannical to the point where things here aren't much better than they are in the UK as far as your rights as a Citizen.
20:43 MinceR; if the intent of the law was followed, usian citizens would even be free to own AFVs and thermonuclear weapons

21:59 DaemonFC; I'm waiting for when the mask comes off and Matthew J. Garrett is forced to reveal who he's really been sabotaging GNU/Linux for.
21:59 DaemonFC; Over the past 10 years he's sort of been of the non-denial denial position about why anyone would want Microsoft's specification to be on their Linux computer.
21:59 DaemonFC; The official line is just "So that it works without the user having to change the firmware settings."
21:59 DaemonFC; But "Secure" Boot doesn't actually fix any security problems. Win11 is still overflowing with malware.

22:01 reptilian_thrills; if it does im going to feel even worse for drinking it
22:01 DaemonFC; @BaronHK
22:01 DaemonFC; One of the problems with "Secure" Boot was pointed out by Garrett himself.
22:01 DaemonFC; Lenovo (possibly others) have really crappy firmware.
22:01 DaemonFC; It turns out that there's a Lenovo backdoor that they left for themselves, which is a hidden root signing certificate.
22:01 DaemonFC; Using this certificate, you can exploit bugs in ANY UEFI program that Lenovo has signed for themselves.
22:01 DaemonFC; Garrett has pointed out that their UEFI programs are full of holes and it took him just minutes to escape from "Secure" Boot using one.
22:01 reptilian_thrills; latte foam is people too
22:01 techuser; in German, most words have seemingly arbitrary gender

22:04 DaemonFC; I had to load Windows 10 as a VM appliance the other day, to get to, of all things, Internet Explorer 11.
22:04 DaemonFC; The kernel modules for VirtualBox are still out-of-tree and provided by RPM Fusion.
22:04 DaemonFC; I had a lot of trouble getting the VM program set up, related to the kernel modules, but the only reason the kernel modules even worked at all in the end is that I have "Secure" Boot turned off.
22:04 DaemonFC; I don't know how to use "mok" and I don't want to know.
22:04 DaemonFC; This "Security Theater" has gotten out of control.

22:06 DaemonFC; Microsoft and their allies at Canonical and Red Hat, have been turning GNU/Linux into a gigantic nightmare and a headache, full of code that is so badly designed it would be right at home in Windows.
22:06 DaemonFC; It's gotten so bad that Fedora had to delay their latest release by over a month and it still has more "failure to build from source" packages and other serious problems than any other recent release.

22:09 DaemonFC; @BaronHK
22:09 DaemonFC; One of the major problems with Fedora is that they keep changing a boot process that worked and making it weirder yet.
22:09 DaemonFC; Some of that is to deal with lousy UEFI firmware, but others are just re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
22:09 DaemonFC; This systemd-boot "proposal" is essentially another way to allow people to violate the license of Linux by proxy.
22:09 DaemonFC; GRUB is under the GPLv3, and of course, that prevents sabotage like DRM and locked bootloaders, which some people would like to impose on us very much.

23:35 DaemonFC; They have these foam and felt filters to trap most of the excess dust that doesn't go into the can so that it doesn't go flying back out into the room, and you're supposed to be able to reuse them by washing them out, but they eventually just don't work very well and to get the vacuum to suck anything up again, you have to buy more. So Shark comes in and sells one foam and felt filter for like $12 plus $5.99 shipping, which is crazy.
