00:58 DaemonFC; I think everyone should get a FOID card.
00:59 DaemonFC; There's no downside to having one, even if you don't want to possess a weapon that's covered by the FOID Act, they're $1 a year, and it eliminates an entire array of things that the state could potentially charge you with a crime for (or at least the felony version of that crime).
01:00 DaemonFC; Anything that costs $1 a year and removes the potential for a litany of criminal charges....It's like a vaccine against Democrat gun laws.
01:01 DaemonFC; If they still do charge you with something, it'll at least have to be a lesser offense.
01:01 DaemonFC; That alone would give your side of the table more leverage when it comes to taking a plea deal.
01:01 DaemonFC; Instead of holding the prospect of going away for 5 years over your head, to prison, the most the prosecutor could possibly get is a year in county.
01:02 DaemonFC; Then you plead down from that. Say, "I'm not giving you shit without a deferred dismissal and court supervision, otherwise go ahead and waste days putting me on trial with the rest of this shit going on in this stinking county.".
01:03 DaemonFC; And that's how you remain a menace without any convictions.

02:46 DaemonFC; The UK is about to make it too dangerous to even use Reddit while logged in anyway. Twitter too.
02:46 DaemonFC; Since both allow you to post and watch porn, the UK says they'll need to take down government ID from its citizens before they can use it.
02:47 DaemonFC; Then Reddit knows exactly who viewed everything, and has a government ID to match it to, to retain in case it's evidence of something later on.

02:53 DaemonFC; Today was the deadline and they have about 3 hours left.
02:53 DaemonFC; After that, they're breaking the law.
02:54 DaemonFC; schestowitz, I've had a busy afternoon. I was on the state legislature's website providing public comment on 64 pieces of legislation.
02:55 TR News; Bootlin contributions to OP-TEE 3.15 and 3.16 - Bootlin's blog https://bootlin.com/blog/bootlin-contributions-to-op-tee-3-15-and-3-16/ #bootlin #kernel #linux
02:55 TR Bot; contributions to OP-TEE 3.15 and 3.16 - Bootlin's blog
02:55 DaemonFC; I publicly opposed a "purchasing hacking software" bill because "While the actions should constitute a criminal offense, it is a misuse of the word 'hacking", which means playful cleverness. The bill should prohibit 'purchasing and deploying malicious software'."
02:56 schestowitz-TR; true
02:56 schestowitz-TR; like pegasus from nso group of finfisher from gamma group *(germany)
02:56 activelow; i am not at least sure why such software is necessary
02:57 DaemonFC; I also opposed a car insurance bill, because "To hold repair shops to the same standards to replace safety equipment as the dealer without providing the same repair manuals, specifications, and computer software to aftermarket parts vendors, this might as well be called the Dealership Profit Protection Act.".
02:57 activelow; because, at lower levels (hardware, bios, firmware), i had suspected some hidden serial consoles to connect to (intelME exposes a serial line)
02:58 DaemonFC; It's easy to support or oppose pieces of legislation with a one or two paragraph summary.
02:58 activelow; so, what are those extra pieces of spyware in user-space?
02:59 activelow; for lawful interception that is, which distinguishes "online" surveillance (network traffic), and breaking into computers (an individual host)

03:00 activelow; i don't think agencies require any "backdoors" or "spyware", typical computer systems open up all sorts of front-doors exclusively
03:00 DaemonFC; I opposed a "senior citizen property tax freeze" by saying "California did this, and while it protected people who already owned a home, it caused local governments to unfairly target an entire new generation of homeowners who weren't protected by the frozen tax rates. Since the Illinois Constitution requires the equal protection of the laws and that no class be lifted above another due to arbitrary reasons in the eyes of the law, this bill is
03:00 DaemonFC; unconstitutional as well as bad public policy which will lock out the younger generation from home ownership.".

03:02 DaemonFC; I opposed a financial transaction tax.
03:02 DaemonFC; In general, I support it, but there's no protection in the bill as written to protect people who only make a few small transactions each year from additional burdens of tax compliance.
03:03 DaemonFC; I opposed a bill that would not allow ComEd or other utilities to buy solar panels unless they're made in the United States.
03:04 DaemonFC; We need cheap electricity. When we have cheap electricity, manufacturers in the midwest will pay less for the power they use, as well as residential customers.
03:04 DaemonFC; And that will make business more competitive and create jobs.

03:05 DaemonFC; There were various bills to change the sex laws. I supported one that would increase the mandatory minimum sentence for predatory sexual abuse of a child 13 or under to 10 years instead of 5 years and add it to the sex offender registry.
03:06 DaemonFC; But I opposed bills that would remove affirmative defense in court for adults who were credibly fooled into believing a person 15 or older was at least 17 years old, as well as an "anti-stealthing" bill, and one that would add sex with a person who is drunk as a sex offender registry crime even if you didn't give them the alcohol.
03:07 DaemonFC; I don't believe that the state could meet its burden of proof as to whether the person who was allegedly stealthed was or not.
03:08 DaemonFC; And people who get themselves drunk in a situation where they know they're likely to have sex with someone while drunk shouldn't get to scream rape later.
03:09 MinceR; 16 040125 < activelow> maybe, they're trying to distract, from the trivial fact, a typical computer system or mobile phone is the piece of spyware itself, without anything added anymore
03:09 MinceR; you can replace that
03:09 MinceR; it's not that easy to replace something like ME or PSP or TrustZone or ThreadX
03:09 DaemonFC; There's also no evidence that lots of people are pulling the "They told me they were 17!" defense and walking, outrageously.
03:09 MinceR; and disabling them usually cripples the alleged computer
03:09 MinceR; also, IBM/DeadRat is doing everything they can to make even opting out of systemd impossible
03:10 DaemonFC; I also supported a bill to allow a person to get a FOID card at 18 instead of 21.
03:10 DaemonFC; You still couldn't buy a handgun (federal), you could buy a long rifle.
03:11 DaemonFC; There's people who can't go hunting because they aren't 21 yet, when that's not a thing in any nearby state.

03:28 TR Bot; Unitary Patent - Techrights
03:28 MinceR; it's hard to tell though, since every corporation likes to advertise imagined benefits of their technology and not the access that makes those imagined benefits and problems that far outweight them possible
03:29 DaemonFC; The animal rights bill that's pending would change the law so that you don't actually have to cause harm to an animal by leaving it outside in the cold. You just have to have reasonably known that injuring the animal was likely.
03:29 psydroid8; ME is bad because the software isn't available and there is no way to replace it
03:29 MinceR; and sometimes they won't advertise it at all, and they just get caught red-handed later
03:29 MinceR; that's not the only reason why ME is bad
03:29 MinceR; it's bad also because it has access to tons of security-critical stuff and can access the network at the same time
03:30 psydroid8; having a service processor can be a good thing if you have full access to it
03:30 psydroid8; but Intel isn't giving you that

03:31 MinceR; and while on some models AMT is allegedly not supported, good luck getting intel to provide evidence that ME really won't function as a backdoor on those models, no matter what
03:31 IPFS; IPFS local node stats (bandwidth since last reset) calculated. TotalIn: 41 GB TotalOut: 39 GB
03:31 psydroid8; I still don't see how this extends to TrustZone or whatever the equivalent in RISC-V chips is
03:32 MinceR; iirc TrustZone also runs an OS that's hidden from you
03:32 MinceR; (and is proprietary)
03:32 psydroid8; although having chips available without such a service processor would be a good thing
03:32 MinceR; and, again, good luck getting ARM to provide evidence that it couldn't act as a backdoor even if it wanted to
03:33 IPFS; New daily bulletin is now being generated and assembled.
03:33 MinceR; instead they'll give you colorful brochures about how great it is if you want such wonderful things as DRM and some sort of proprietary illusion of security on your device!
03:33 psydroid8; I've just linked what is running on my SBC, but maybe there are SoCs that only come with binaries
03:33 MinceR; i have SBCs with microsoft malware running on the GPU
03:33 MinceR; that wasn't advertised either
03:34 MinceR; this industry is fully invested in the objective of fucking its paying customers
03:34 psydroid8; I knew about that so I didn't buy those
03:34 MinceR; it's a disgusting racket
03:35 MinceR; btw, they know they're in forbidden territory, as they keep rebranding their backdoor technologies
03:35 MinceR; Intel has "Management Engine", "AMT", "vPro" and who knows what else
03:35 MinceR; AMD rebranded the PSP as "AMD Secure Technology" (obviously the name was the only problem with it)
03:36 MinceR; apparently in this age of alleged market economy, what the customer wants is the last thing that matters to the manufacturers.
03:37 psydroid8; I don't know if we'll ever be able to design and fabricate our own chips to be free from all of these backdoors
03:37 MinceR; you don't get a PC that does what you want, but you do get to have a crappy, malicious OS from MICROS~1 preinstalled and another crappy, malicious OS from intel/AMD/ARM/MICROS~1 that's preinstalled and hidden from you
03:37 MinceR; and they'll do everything they can to make sure the device breaks if you try to get rid of either
03:37 MinceR; i don't know it either
03:37 psydroid8; we are reaching the point that even freely available low-end cores are becoming good enough
03:38 activelow; psydroid8: j-core, gigatron ttl, mycpu.eu
03:38 activelow; it's a tiny fringe niche
03:39 MinceR; seems to me we're reaching the point when a general purpose computer becomes an unattainable luxury that is reserved to the ones trusted by the state, and then entirely eliminated
03:39 psydroid8; and that could be used if you have the skills to verify that they do what is said and also perform adequately
03:40 activelow; when reviewing this, i arrived at the gigatron ttl / mycpu.eu / z80 era equipment
03:40 MinceR; i'm hoping that after acquiring some extra skills i'll be able to turn some sort of FPGA developer board into a backdoorless laptop
03:41 activelow; j-core is the best bet currently, not risc-v nor any arm system
03:42 psydroid8; I have to read my coursebook and do some online courses this summer to get a bit more familiar with digital design and actual processor design
03:42 activelow; i'll try to implement some missing pieces for aarch32/64 with tinycc, maybe i succeed with implementing j-core support for tinycc some time

21:19 activelow; most "blockchains" are a lottery, and the "price" is the "transaction fees"; they are confusing earnings with spendings

21:19 schestowitz-TR; maaaan, matey, you don't understand
21:19 schestowitz-TR; this is a real currency, maaan, not a scam
21:19 schestowitz-TR; you cannot wrap your head around it
21:19 bnchs__; no you don't understand
21:19 activelow; it's unbelievable scam; imagining high transactions fees and electronic waste are "value", instead of spendings
21:19 schestowitz-TR; big banks do the same... but with another jargon
21:19 schestowitz-TR; to gaslight clients
21:19 psydroid2; don't putincoins all your wealth
21:19 bnchs__; i totally didn't backdoor the currency with transaction fees
21:19 bnchs__; a currency needs fees
21:20 bnchs__; how do they find the miner who "mines" your transaction
21:20 bnchs__; to give them your transaction fees
21:20 activelow; in the end, what "investors" seek with "blockchain" is this: real cash, grabbed with transaction fees
21:21 schestowitz-TR; those 'coins' are worth as much as confidence in them
21:21 schestowitz-TR; just like paper money is worth as much as its perception of worth
21:21 bnchs__; yes
21:21 schestowitz-TR; as long as people are made to believe converting real money into some fake coins is worthwhile the scheme can persist
21:21 activelow; "blockchain" is conceptually confused; what it is, and what it isn't
21:21 schestowitz-TR; or exchange actual goods for i
21:21 schestowitz-TR; it
21:22 activelow; blockchain isn't typical paper money, because a currency is established by surrounding legal framework, and an economy to buy goods with
21:22 schestowitz-TR; fwiw, bad analogy:
21:22 schestowitz-TR; many people thought covid passes were so awesome
21:22 schestowitz-TR; now, many nations discard them
21:22 schestowitz-TR; "ok, mate... don't care for your pass... come on in"
21:23 schestowitz-TR; "don't care, it's OK, whatever... everybody welcome"
21:23 bnchs__; lol our country still relies on covid pass
21:23 bnchs__; the police will arrest you if you're not vaccinated
21:23 schestowitz-TR; maybe some vaccine company controls your politgicians
21:24 schestowitz-TR; and they have not maximised their shareholders' value yet
21:24 bnchs__; and even shops and public bathrooms require a covid pass
21:24 SomeH4x0r; "unvaccinated" != having a covid pass. Because you can both have a forged covid pass, and have an unapproved vaccine

22:30 DaemonFC; And as long as the IRS gets a taste based on the notion that it's "property", then they're happy.
22:31 DaemonFC; But as soon as the market goes sour and people report huge capital losses, the IRS is going to clamp up and start auditing everyone who does that.
22:32 bnchs__; "In January 2018, Bluehole's PUBG Corp., the South Korean company behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), filed a lawsuit against Epic Games, claiming that Fortnite Battle Royale was a copyright infringement of Battlegrounds; [...] The case has since closed, with PUBG Corp. dropping the lawsuit in June 2018 under undisclosed reasons"

22:32 bnchs__; PUBG uses unreal engine
22:32 DaemonFC; Because those people are going to go "Well, I lost half my money." (or whatever) and declare that they lost $50,000 that year to the IRS, and under IRS rules, if they made $62,500 that year, it means.....no taxes.
22:32 bnchs__; so epic games probably threatened the company with a license suspension if they continued with the lawsuit

22:32 DaemonFC; So the IRS isn't going to like that and since it's big enough to look into closely, that guy gets an audit.

22:33 DaemonFC; Ironically, the IRS is really turning people off to crypto.
22:33 DaemonFC; They realize that the tax man is here and the party is over.
22:33 DaemonFC; It's basically like the cops crashing a college party with underage drinking and people start jumping out the windows.

22:37 DaemonFC; The exchanges that want to legally operate in the United States and have access to the banking system have to be compliant with Know Your Customer and FATCA.
22:37 activelow; "blockchain" isn't a currency, it's a type of clearing/accounting system
22:38 DaemonFC; Yeah, so the IRS watches these pretty closely and the exchanges will rat you out and leave you to untangle a huge tax mess.
22:38 psydroid2; bnchs__, this is the crux of the matter
22:38 schestowitz-TR; Uncle Bill Micro-Soft got a little Hard -> [22:36] * psydroid2 's Hungarian never stopped sucking
22:38 DaemonFC; And while you're signing up, they won't mention it, but it'll be buried on the small print that they don't give you tax advice and they partnered with TaxBit to help you figure it out.
22:38 DaemonFC; So if you end up in this situation, you just have to do the best you can.
22:39 schestowitz-TR; activelow: and it does not scale well
22:39 psydroid2; building your product on some other possibly hostile company's proprietary technology is a risk to the company's very existence
22:39 schestowitz-TR; because the transaction chains become too long
22:39 DaemonFC; If there's a math error or something, the IRS won't crucify you, they'll send you a correction saying "You owe us this. You can pay us this way. If you disagree, you have 30 days to respond.".
22:39 schestowitz-TR; so electricity and hardware are used up
22:39 DaemonFC; To be honest, it's so hard to figure out crypto taxes because of cost basis.
22:40 MinceR; maybe the state will force some of such exchanges underground
22:40 DaemonFC; It never happens with stocks because the brokerage had you buy them with money.
22:40 DaemonFC; But with crypto, you can change wallets or buy Bitcoins with Dogecoins or what have you.
22:40 DaemonFC; Well, the ledger (blockchain) is public information.
22:41 psydroid2; this is why the idea of a truly FOSS game engine is novel
22:41 DaemonFC; So as soon as they can tie that to you, they can identify the payer.
22:41 DaemonFC; Stallman's idea of a cryptocoin that is anonymous for the payer doesn't exist.
22:41 psydroid2; no one can take it away from you and blackmail you using it
22:41 DaemonFC; He says the recipient should be identifiable so they don't cheat on their business taxes.
22:41 DaemonFC; But the IRS wants to ID the payers too, because you're not paying with money, you're paying with property.
22:42 TR News; Oh dear... someone forgot to renew the domain name? http://lxer.com/
22:42 -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Lxer.com
22:42 DaemonFC; And when you do that, you have to say you disposed of the property and that triggered a capital gain or loss, which requires you to file the transactions on an 8849 and Schedule D.
22:42 DaemonFC; And if it goes over 250 transactions for the entire year, things get really fucked up.

22:43 MinceR; 16 234101 < psydroid2> this is why the idea of a truly FOSS game engine is novel
22:43 MinceR; it isn't
22:43 psydroid2; "Godot (/do/) is a 2D and 3D, cross-platform, free and open-source game engine released under the MIT license. It was initially developed for several companies in Latin America prior to its public release.[6] The development environment runs on multiple operating systems including Linux, macOS, and Windows. Godot can create games targeting PC, mobile, and web platforms."
22:43 MinceR; various id engines have been free for ages
22:43 MinceR; godot's there
22:43 DaemonFC; Because that's the most you can report in detail on an 8849. So you must summarize, check the box stating that you summarized, and then send them an underlying printout of your detailed transaction logs and an 8853 to the IRS at an address in Texas.
22:43 MinceR; cube, cube2 and its derivatives are free
22:43 MinceR; spring is free
22:44 MinceR; and there are free derivatives of id engines, like darkplaces
22:44 DaemonFC; You're better off not even touching crypto.
22:44 psydroid2; why do so few games use them then?
22:44 psydroid2; commercial games at least
22:44 DaemonFC; It's hard to know you're in compliance with the tax laws and the exchanges are all operated by a bunch of crooks.
22:44 psydroid2; proprietary*

22:47 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, If you deal in crypto, you basically have to make one of two choices when it comes tax time.
22:47 DaemonFC; Neither of them good.
22:47 psydroid2; Sandra Lee and Andrew Lee
22:47 DaemonFC; 1. Lie to the IRS. Obviously that's not an option.
22:48 DaemonFC; 2. Do the math and hope you were right.
22:48 MinceR; 16 234414 < psydroid2> why do so few games use them then?
22:48 DaemonFC; Anyone who says anything else is lying.
22:48 MinceR; i think publishers aren't big fans of the idea of selling only the assets for a free engine
22:48 MinceR; maybe proprietary engines are cheap enough for them
22:48 DaemonFC; Out of the two options, option 2 is better because if it's obvious you tried to comply, things get a lot better for you. They'll probably only want money if you were wrong.
22:48 MinceR; oh, and they don't realize the problems with the unity engine
22:49 DaemonFC; The tax code is stuffed full of "knowingly", "deliberately", and "negligently".
22:49 schestowitz-TR; 3. do "the crypto"
22:50 DaemonFC; That's why the IRS focuses on cases where it's like "Okay, you FORGOT to report $15,000..... Riiiiight.".
22:51 DaemonFC; "Oh, you sold an entire house in Palm Springs and didn't tell us? Interesting.".

23:07 bnchs__; unreal engine is source-available
23:07 bnchs__; it's based on a EULA that says you have to give epic games a cut of the profits if your game earns over 1 million dollars
23:08 bnchs__; and doesn't allow GPL compatiblity
23:09 activelow; optimized yq2 engine with directfb here, and without any GPU at all, it is ~30fps CPU-only with a cortex a53 quad, no GPU acceleration (opengl/directx/vulkan) required at all, only framebuffer /dev/fb0
23:10 activelow; they're pushing sales of electronic waste with games
23:10 activelow; ~25years of nonsense hardware and software
23:11 activelow; any program (or game) which doesn't support software rendering without opengl isn't free/opensource
23:12 bnchs__; are you serious?
23:12 activelow; forgot to mention, such a low-end CPU renders 30FPS upscaled to fullhd
23:12 psydroid2; the funny thing is that the computer with the quadcore cortex a53 can keep working for as long as the hardware doesn't die
23:13 psydroid2; I think he is, as modern software is just horribly inefficient
23:13 activelow; well, it took some efforts to achieve this performance, initially it was ~15FPS
23:14 activelow; although, to i noted, even at 30FPS the output rendering is rather smooth, because the frame rate seems more steady than with modern systems
23:14 bnchs__; i cant even do rotation identity models
23:16 psydroid2; is it too slow?
23:16 activelow; currently i am utilizing aarch64 neon fpu, and want to test armv7a-hardfloat, which could be faster, don't know yet
23:16 activelow; currently, there's more important things to do
23:17 psydroid2; did you use neon intrinsics?
23:18 activelow; at some places those are used, and too i enabled -ftree-vectorize, which improved another +30%
23:19 psydroid2; I want to finish that book I was reading some time next month to learn how to write neon code
23:19 psydroid2; that's a good performance uplift
23:20 activelow; i left that to gcc compiler btw.
23:22 activelow; and i suspect, the a53 here is somewhat limited by lack of L2 cache, it got 256KiB only for 4 coures; nonetheless
23:27 psydroid2; ARM doesn't have any in-order cores beyond a55
23:29 psydroid2; it could have up to 2 MiB of L2 cache, but that would increase the cost
23:31 psydroid2; oh, Cortex-A510
23:33 activelow; the out-of-order cores are overrated anyway
23:34 activelow; got one of those big.LITTLE ones here, and the a72 is faster, mainly because it is clocked higher

23:35 *l0de has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
23:36 *huggi (sid80718@joseon/user/huggi) has joined #techrights
23:36 activelow; and asymmetric SMP with big.LITTLE requires scheduler tweaks, which are annoying, because a53/55 are fast CPUs, in particular a55 if those can be clocked to ~2GHz with little more L2 cache, a53 are 1.3GHz
23:36 *l0de (sid31830@id-31830.ilkley.irccloud.com) has joined #techrights
23:38 activelow; anyway, if a j-core SoC design can be deployed, and if it got 200MHz only with 256MiB RAM, i would rather use that, and implement tinycc j-core support
