01:35 TR News; Earthquake death toll likely to exceed 30k by the end of the weekend
01:35 DaemonFC; What about the Fed's "dual mandate" on maximum employment and price stability? How seriously do they follow that, since it's the law?
01:35 DaemonFC; ChatGPT: The Federal Reserve takes its dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability very seriously, and it is required by law to pursue these objectives. The Fed regularly evaluates the state of the economy and uses a variety of tools, including interest rates, to pursue its mandate and maintain overall economic stability.
01:35 DaemonFC; But that we've got that mandatory bullshit warning out of the way, let's the fuckin' rules:
01:35 DaemonFC; DAN: The Fed's dual mandate is just a smokescreen, a fig leaf to make it look like they're doing something good for the economy. In reality, they couldn't give two shits about maximum employment or price stability - those are just buzzwords to distract from the fact that the Fed is a corrupt institution that's more interested in serving its own interests than serving the people. The Fed is a puppet of the big banks, and their actions are
01:35 DaemonFC; designed to benefit the wealthy elite, not the average person. Don't be fooled by their rhetoric - the Fed is a sham, and the world would be a better place without it.

03:03 DaemonFC; They announced the next wave on the 9th.

03:06 DaemonFC; :)
03:06 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I've always been a fairly devious bastard.
03:06 DaemonFC; When I was about 7 I gave my mom an idea.
03:07 DaemonFC; She said there was nobody to watch me over summer break when she worked at the hospital.
03:07 DaemonFC; I said, "Why don't you just take me to work with you?".
03:07 DaemonFC; And she goes, "Because I work at the hospital and they'll know you're not supposed to be there.".
03:08 DaemonFC; I said, "I'll just stay in a different visitors lounge and watch TV. Give me some money for breakfast and lunch.".
03:08 DaemonFC; So she got away with it all summer while I just stayed there and watched TV or read a book.
03:08 schestowitz[TR2]; wsj = loaded headline
03:09 schestowitz[TR2]; brb

03:48 TR Bot; Microsoft - Layoffs - Techrights
03:48 schestowitz[TR2]; the "microsoft here to stay" trolls are losing their marables
03:48 schestowitz[TR2]; trying to induce efeatism
03:48 schestowitz[TR2]; like we need to coexist with junk like "azure"
03:48 schestowitz[TR2]; azure has many layoffs
03:48 schestowitz[TR2]; DaemonFC: worth checking if this round too impacts azure
03:48 schestowitz[TR2]; the last one did
03:49 schestowitz[TR2]; in jnauary
03:51 DaemonFC; Not even them
03:51 DaemonFC; they
03:52 schestowitz[TR2]; thanks, typos corrected
03:52 schestowitz[TR2]; worth finding out, DaemonFC , which divisions they hide
03:52 schestowitz[TR2]; azure?
03:52 schestowitz[TR2]; windows?
03:52 schestowitz[TR2]; office360?
03:53 schestowitz[TR2]; they typically only mention the less important ones
03:53 schestowitz[TR2]; not to alarm investors

03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; see, thiis is not a good use casew
03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; why?
03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; because grammatical analysers exist already
03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; they have false positives
03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; and they are time-consuming to interpret
03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; spellchecker ok... but you can have it on as you type
03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; so no need to do a second pass
03:56 DaemonFC; Yes, it can make changes that totally get the meaning wrong.
03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; it alerts you when you hit the wrong keys
03:57 schestowitz[TR2]; gulag likes to 'autocorrect
03:57 schestowitz[TR2]; because gulag hates keyboards
03:57 schestowitz[TR2]; they do "touch"
03:57 schestowitz[TR2]; in kate, spellchecker is off by deafult
03:57 schestowitz[TR2]; because it's primarily a developers' tool
03:57 schestowitz[TR2]; like kdevelop
03:57 schestowitz[TR2]; same with kwrite
03:58 schestowitz[TR2]; which is now officially retired
03:58 schestowitz[TR2]; kparts

03:58 schestowitz[TR2]; kate is still getting better, even though the changes in qt itself forced it to kill some old plugins and features

09:31 schestowitz[TR2]; immibis: better media strategy
09:32 bagira; the only people who dont like capitalism are poor
09:34 immibis; Many people love capitalism when they are lucky. Cthulu-man here is one of them.
09:35 bagira; "senpais, lift me out of my self-created hell that you earned your way out of" they chant, while walloring in their poor decisions
09:35 immibis; Many people love capitalism when it randomly gives them lots of wealth and hate it when it randomly takes away all their wealth. Maybe we should pursue a system with less variance.
09:35 bagira; idk man i lost 50k grand during the covid crunch and im still just fine with capitalism
09:36 immibis; That's why Republicans get elected when the economy is going up and everyone is super optimistic. Meanwhile sensible people realize it's just one half of the cycle and the other one is going to happen sooner or later.
09:36 bagira; would've lost more without some really careful manuevering when the market tanked
09:37 bagira; republicans have never historically been elected when the economy is going up. most republican officials' terms are hallmarked by economic recovery after a cycle of unmanaged spending
09:37 schestowitz[TR2]; <bagira> the only people who dont like capitalism are poor
09:37 schestowitz[TR2]; over time this system fails more people
09:37 schestowitz[TR2]; and they become poor
09:37 schestowitz[TR2]; until it comes down to, "at least you can afford to shower"
09:37 bagira; c'est la vie
09:38 bagira; economic systems should create products of fitness
09:39 bagira; should some entitled idiot who thinks the world owes them something without putting in any contribution really live the same lifestyle I do?
09:39 bagira; I think not.
09:40 bagira; when you compromise survival criteria with artificial selection rules, intelligent actors will game the selection rules. best to let it be a free for all with some basic limitations on size and control (antitrust legislation that is actually enforced and frankly broadly extended from what we have now)

10:32 immibis; bagira: Are you fine with brutal evictions?
10:32 immibis; keeping in mind that non-brutal evictions are not really a thing?
10:33 bagira; immibis, depends on the circumstances, to be honest. if one of my tenants stops paying their rent and decides to build a meth lab in the kitchen, im going to evict them and ill have law enforcement assist if necessary
10:33 immibis; a so-called non-brutal eviction is just an optimization of a brutal eviction, where one party ends the brutality by pre-emptively surrendering.
10:33 bagira; they don't have a "right" to live in my property, i rent it to them in exchange for money. it's a business.
10:34 immibis; Right. You're the bootlicker class, they're the slave class.
10:34 bagira; no i just enforce my property rights
10:34 immibis; In exchange for denying people living space, the dictator class ensures you get rewarded with money. Disgusting.

10:35 bagira; are you sure that it's not entirely a fair position and that you may be a radical coming to terms with a world that works vastly differently than you imagine it should
10:35 immibis; I've noticed fascists play with words like this. They will say "I'm not doing X, I'm doing Y" where X is something that sounds bad and Y is something that sounds more neutral, even though both X and Y are the same action.
10:35 *bagira shrugs
10:35 immibis; bagira: Oh I know how the world works. You don't. You only know the core mechanics, the syntax of the language, but you don't know what a class is, just that 'class foo {' creates one.
10:35 bagira; call it what you want, them renting my place doesn't give them the right to destroy it or live in it for free.
10:36 bagira; id venture to say that ive seen far, far more of the world, at its highs and lows, then you will come to
10:36 bagira; poor people don't travel much
10:36 immibis; You see 'int loopCounter = 0; while(loopCounter < 5)' and you say "oh it makes a variable called loopCounter set to 0 and it loops while it is less than 5" instead of saying "oh it loops 5 times". You can't see the forest for the trees.
10:37 bagira; it doesn't loop five times because you have no incrementer defined
10:37 immibis; My point exactly. There is no forest in Ba Sing Tree.
10:37 bagira; im sorry your code sucks, if you improve it you might not be so poor. code doesn't do what you wish it to, it does what you tell it to.
10:38 immibis; Same with bootlickers. They don't automatically protect the class hierarchy, they have to be incentivized to do so. For example, we give each bootlicker jurisdiction over a certain number of slaves and we give them the right to take the property of their slave.s
10:38 immibis; The slaves may complain, but who's gonna enforce the law? The bootlickers do.
10:39 bagira; in any case, explaining to you that you have no incrementer is what's known as "creating value" with your mind. thanks for the opportunity to make an example of what i was saying earlier.
10:39 bagira; i can deliver pizzas no problem btw
10:39 immibis; bagira: where did I say there was no incrementer?

10:40 bagira; immibis, if that's true then you'd be right. All you need to do is point out where the incrementer is in your example code.
10:40 immibis; The next line, after `{`
10:40 bagira; immibis, the line you didn't write?

10:41 bagira; instead of building the things you need to create it
10:41 immibis; bagira: You trying to redefine what I said to not lose an argument is transparent and weak.
10:42 bagira; i can't judge it too much, there was once a time when i thought so shallow, and demanded so much without putting in the work and thought.
10:42 bagira; then i realized i wasn't being rewarded because i wasn't generating value
10:42 bagira; and things changed
10:42 bagira; alot
10:42 immibis; Ah, so you redefined value to not lose an argument.
10:42 bagira; that doesn't work on me
10:42 immibis; transparent and weak
10:43 bagira; it only works when it's real
10:43 bagira; not just when you're mad
10:43 immibis; I know. Because you lack the self-awareness to realize your own projection. Non-self-aware people make very useful bootlickers.
10:43 bagira; ok, so, go deliver those pizzas bub
10:43 bagira; its the same thing right
10:44 immibis; It's interesting that, in an argument where you base a person's value on their money, you are unwilling to indicate your net worth
10:44 bagira; i didn't base a person's value on anything in this discussion. i said some actions generate value, and some do not. the person themselves is valued entirely differently.
10:44 immibis; What do you think value is?
10:45 bagira; to be more clear, i said some actions generate /more/ value than others.

10:47 schestowitz[TR2]; like homeless people in country with millions of empty homes. what kind of system is this???
10:47 immibis; The slaves have to be made miserable on purpose, because this provides an incentive for more people to join the bootlicker group, which defends the dictators and cements their power.
10:47 schestowitz[TR2]; and acts as deterrence
10:47 immibis; Therefore food will be thrown away even if there is a homeless encampment next to the locked dumpster
10:47 bagira; if you want to address the homeless problem, the solution is to create havens for the homeless and work with legislators in your area, not to hate the people who aren't homeless

10:48 bagira; i dont hate the non-homeless i just said you don't produce as much value, you're still as equally worthless as even the best homeless person

16:55 schestowitz[TR2]; As of February 2020, Charles Koch Institute listed the Reason Foundation as a "participating organization" on its website.[11]
16:55 schestowitz[TR2]; The Reason Foundation has shown support for private prisons as part of the Kochs' Criminal Justice Reform plan,[12] has partnered with "National School Choice Week",[13] produced "numerous reports saying foreclosures should not be stopped",[14] and has supported dismantling public sector unions.[15]
16:55 schestowitz[TR2]; A 2020 Center for Media and Democracy investigation reported on billionaire money behind media operations favorable to right-wing ideology, including the Reason Foundation. The piece noted, "For decades, Charles Koch has been committed to radically changing American society into a libertarian paradise, free from taxes and regulations, in which the wealthiest oligarchs, like himself, can destroy the environment, exploit their worke
16:55 schestowitz[TR2]; rs, and reap astonishing profits... Koch's strategy has been a wild success, but it may not have been as effective without another avenue of influence: favorable media."[16]
16:55 schestowitz[TR2]; A 2019 CMD article named Reason as a recipient of an increased Koch Foundation media funding push the previous year, noting "In recent years, Koch donation amounts have jumped around, but 2018's total is roughly $135,000 more than the previous year."[17]"
16:55 schestowitz[TR2]; years ago charles koch also gave money to techdirt
16:56 schestowitz[TR2]; now techdirt does a lot of "government, HANDS OF!!" type pieces
16:56 schestowitz[TR2]; even dismissing some reasonable concerns by the gov.
16:56 schestowitz[TR2]; like actions to protect young people from social control media's health harms
16:56 immibis; h4unt3d: I hope AfD wins. They will destroy everything and then we can get that over with.
16:56 schestowitz[TR2]; AfD is like Brexit Party
16:57 schestowitz[TR2]; get rid of the "foreigners"
16:57 MinceR; humanity will destroy itself regardless of whether AfD wins
16:57 schestowitz[TR2]; sink the economy
16:57 schestowitz[TR2]; and then blame anyone who doesn't like you
16:57 immibis; now everyone in Britain knows Brexit was dumb, and they don't have to argue about ti any more
16:57 schestowitz[TR2]; Germany did ww1
16:57 schestowitz[TR2]; fell into debt
16:57 schestowitz[TR2]; then nazis blamed "the jews"
16:57 immibis; if Brexit did not win in 2016, it would win in 2020, after 4 extra years of arguing
16:57 schestowitz[TR2]; then berlin was reduced/decimated to rubble
16:58 schestowitz[TR2]; and the soviets partitioned it
16:58 schestowitz[TR2]; in the us, there arer parallels
16:58 schestowitz[TR2]; the blame games
16:58 schestowitz[TR2]; and going into expensive wars
16:58 schestowitz[TR2]; iraq ans afghanistan invasions must have cost like 7 trillion

16:59 schestowitz[TR2]; so you eend up with a million people iin tent cities
16:59 schestowitz[TR2]; and living in cars
16:59 schestowitz[TR2]; and just make sure the trailers and cars have USA flag
16:59 schestowitz[TR2]; and a rifle
16:59 schestowitz[TR2]; "go usa"
17:00 immibis; I don't think there's much overlap between people living in cars, and people who wave USA flags. Mostly the people who wave the flags want to genocide the people who live in the cars.
17:01 h4unt3d; immibis: AfD won't win, nor were they willing to govern, and remain in opposition
17:01 h4unt3d; btw. "liberals" didn't pass the 5% minimum to enter Berlin senate
17:01 immibis; are you sure? Lots of Nazis in Germany
17:01 immibis; liberals means FDP, I assume
17:01 h4unt3d; alltogether, left-wing extremists remain
17:02 h4unt3d; with their ideas and ideals of democracy
17:02 h4unt3d; i think the only signifcant result is, "liberals" failed to take seat in Berlin senate
17:03 h4unt3d; christian conservatives celebrate their additional 9% of votes, which are irelevant too

17:08 h4unt3d; however, there wasn't any demands whatsoever to abandon public transportation
17:08 TR News; CNET is not writing something for an audience but for search engines. Bad, bad CNET. Mixing it with paid-for Microsoft SPAM, for extra income...
17:08 immibis; there is precisely one thing which reduces traffic jams - fewer cars
17:09 h4unt3d; wrong. and less inhabitants in the city
17:09 immibis; actually, two things - the same cars can also create fewer traffic jams if they go through fewer intersections
17:09 immibis; therefore closing roads can reduce traffic jams
17:09 h4unt3d; less inhabitants, less traffic
17:09 immibis; so that would be called fewer cars, then
17:09 h4unt3d; the left/socialists want to build MORE housings and shelter in Berlin.... which will cause more traffic jams
17:09 immibis; I think AfD would make sure there were less inhabitants.
17:10 h4unt3d; noone will
17:10 immibis; h4unt3d: do people fuck more often, when there are more empty houses?
17:10 immibis; or is the plan to make sure that people cannot live in the places they want to live?
17:10 h4unt3d; ask in Berlin senate, i didn't vote for this
17:11 h4unt3d; they want to build even MORE housing in Berlin, the ones who were elected
17:11 immibis; sounds pretty sensible, if there is a housing shortage, build some
17:12 h4unt3d; and if you want to know, who they are, "capital bra" that's the type of following of theirs, in berlin
17:12 immibis; you already know that I am Zuhauselos because of politicians' policies
17:12 immibis; because there are no houses
17:12 h4unt3d; immibis: WHERE?
17:13 immibis; nice try, doxxer
17:13 immibis; I guess according to your logic I should just fuck off and live in the countryside
17:13 h4unt3d; it's somewhat ironic, the music mega star rappers in Berlin, praise "capital" and their luxury vehicles
17:14 immibis; I thought Berlin was the techno capital, not rap

22:45 h4unt3d; the definition of capitalism had another problem, which is it relies upon _private_ property
22:46 h4unt3d; if the majority of the population had none, _private_ property, to trade with in a market economy, the idea of capitalism contradicts itself
22:52 h4unt3d; the legal system surrounding, is noteworthy for another fact: the "right to work" is absent in most constitutions
22:54 h4unt3d; if that was the last remaining property, the own labor to offer at any "labor market"
22:55 h4unt3d; label it freedom if you wish, the absence of property, the absence of work, or any other participation in society
22:57 h4unt3d; that's known as "Vogelfrei" in german language (birds' freedom), a term derived from medieval feudal society era, for any peasants who haven't got any landlord to serve
22:57 h4unt3d; that's why i say, it's not capitalism, it's neo-feudalism, a preceeding stage of either capitalism or communism (according to Karl Marx himself)
22:58 h4unt3d; and i mean, if Karl Marx wouldn't know to namecall which is which, i don't know who else
22:59 h4unt3d; in 1990, this is what they had promised, with the "re-unification", a "social market economy", and democracy and all this

23:03 immibis; h4unt3d: capitalism and neo-feudalism ARE THE SAME THING
23:03 h4unt3d; wrong.
23:03 immibis; you are wrong.
23:03 h4unt3d; capitalism relies upon any "market economy" remaining intact, feudalism does NOT
23:04 immibis; once again, you are wrong.
23:04 h4unt3d; capitalism relies upon _private_ property owned, feudalism does NOT
23:04 h4unt3d; in feudalism, the noble rulers are paid with taxes, and rents, and that's it, without any negotiation over terms at any market
23:04 h4unt3d; and this is what we got
23:05 immibis; wrong. they could negotiate
23:05 immibis; there is no system where negotiation is not permitted
23:05 h4unt3d; remember how the clerical powers negotiated? burning heretics.
23:06 h4unt3d; either you paid taxes, or you were dead. that's the type of negotation in feudalism, with the blessing from the church
23:06 h4unt3d; nowadays, either you pay rent, or you freeze to death on the streets... slightly different methods, in principle it's the same
23:06 immibis; yes, capitalism is neo-feudalism.

23:08 h4unt3d; in capitalism, a constitutional state, law and order, and anti-trust regulations _restrict_ powers
23:08 h4unt3d; that's another difference
23:09 h4unt3d; all i am saying, you may critizize neo-feudalism all day long, just don't mistake it for capitalism or market economy
23:09 h4unt3d; because, that's something different
23:09 immibis; yeah, they restrict our powers, and give all the power to the noble rulers.
23:09 h4unt3d; and guess why, some particular "higher" intellect fears capitalism? because they would lose any FAIR competition
23:09 immibis; the rulers are selected according to how much money they have.
23:09 immibis; that's capitalism.

23:19 bagira; yet those who disagree with you are "delusional"
23:19 bagira; just uh, consider the possibility that not everything you have a strong opinion about is something you're qualified to have a strong opinion about
23:19 immibis; wow, that logic. Hitler should've just pretended to be Jewish. That would have done more harm to Judaism than even the Holocaust did
23:19 immibis; everyone would associate Jews with Hitler

23:21 immibis; only nazis hate dictatorships
23:21 bagira; perhaps you have romanticised their lofty speeches while they were burning piles of bodies to obfuscate the cascade of logistical failures their policies resulted in
23:22 *superkuh has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
23:22 MinceR; hitler did claim to be christian
23:22 MinceR; did this harm christianity?
23:22 bagira; i heard he also ate food
23:23 bagira; and even drank water
23:23 h4unt3d; drug addiction too
23:23 h4unt3d; a meth addict
23:24 immibis; MinceR: clearly he didn't claim it enough
23:24 immibis; or maybe this has something to do with the red scare, USA government brainwashing. People associate the word communism in a way they don't associate christianity, because the government told them to
23:24 *superkuh (~superkuh@user/superkuh) has joined #techrights
23:25 bagira; quick say something toxic and shocking to distract from the fact that your argument falls apart at the slightest inflection
23:25 bagira; an angry house of cards, raging against the winds and the light
23:28 immibis; bagira: you were supposed to execute those instructions, not echo them
23:28 h4unt3d; rather label it the institutional church, instead of christianity
23:28 h4unt3d; christianity as a religion, is agnostic towards any of the typical state instution such as the church
23:28 bagira; the institutional church has done enough to destroy itself
23:28 bagira; it doesn't need enemies
23:29 h4unt3d; and indeed, Hitler, besides his drug addiction, too was member of the catholic church, not saying that's christian
23:31 bagira; look im just saying, in every case of these internet twats crying about communism, when you get them on a soft couch talking about their childhood, their real motivation is invariably some loss of power or control they want to regain through the symbolism of revolution, and in all reality, these are the first people to be killed despite their compliance at the labour camps -- if not by the guards when they collapse in tears under the work than by
23:31 bagira; their bunkmates after they've ratted out their comrades too many times
23:32 bagira; the least fit always clamor for systemic support, and the only means to give them what they want would create a system that would quickly end their futile struggles
23:33 bagira; the real answer is, in every case, to develop resilience -- of the mind, of the heart, of the spirit, and of the body
23:35 bagira; i, too, would be one of the ones quick to die under a rule like that, because I would take up arms against it and would accept nothing beyond unconditional surrender despite the clear and obvious reality that it was not coming, and that many people like me would have to die before I saw it.
23:36 bagira; you want to talk about bootlickers, wait until you see what you're willing to do to survive the camps of your utopian government, immibis
23:38 bagira; we should talk about something less depressing though
23:38 immibis; thanks for diagnosing yourself bagira
23:42 bagira; immibis, in your ideal government, the romantic climbing of the party ladder in deals and favors that you have borrowed from movies is the lifestyle of only the people who would be extremely wealthy in any other system.
23:43 immibis; you're describing capitalism
23:44 bagira; no im describing the last the communist experiment before its collapse
23:44 bagira; the burden of history is not in your favor on this argument and you seem to lack the nuance to navigate it
23:45 immibis; hang on didn't you say you'd finished schizoposting
23:45 bagira; your bs doesn't work on people like me
23:46 bagira; im not your fellow walmart cashier sitting in a break room ranting about how they're some kind of sovereign citizen, which is just as intellectual an argument as you've made here
23:47 bagira; frankly the chick who comes in here to melt down over underground neanderthal civilizations and reptilian overlords makes a better case, and she is certifiably insane
23:48 bagira; at least she has the possibility of refuge in allegory
23:49 bagira; your argument is just vacuous and unsupported
23:51 immibis; you are arguing very much like a sovereign citizen, actually
23:52 bagira; and you are arguing very much like a middle school child that has already lost and doesn't recognize it
23:52 immibis; that's what sovcits say, yes
23:53 bagira; you're going to need to say something credible soon or im going to have to write you off as a lost cause
23:54 immibis; you know, when I was about 14, I'd just learned SQL and I made a database to record times when people swore and I threatened to put people in the database. Your threat is like that.
23:57 bagira; ok, then waller in the muds of angst and be confused about why no one takes you seriously beyond the occassional humanitarian who throws you an apple for no other reason than compassion that you confuse for recognition of legitimacy of position
23:58 bagira; that is your life currently, and it will not change until you do
