01:09 psydruid; but the way these businesses incur high costs I would be really careful about starting one
01:09 schestowitz[TR]; b) supply me with some money
01:09 schestowitz[TR]; c) in exchange, you control everything
01:10 schestowitz[TR]; similar for some orgs
01:10 schestowitz[TR]; sfc, fsf, lf
01:10 schestowitz[TR]; lots of people work hard for decades to pay for kids
01:10 schestowitz[TR]; lots of people work hard for decades to pay for a business they start
01:10 schestowitz[TR]; most of the first group will realise it seerviced people who barely care about them
01:10 schestowitz[TR]; the latter will lose every savings
01:11 schestowitz[TR]; and even go into debt, in hope things will turn around
01:11 schestowitz[TR]; seen it many times
01:11 schestowitz[TR]; they say,
01:11 schestowitz[TR]; ""hope dies last"
01:11 schestowitz[TR]; that's what happens in denmark
01:11 schestowitz[TR]; people stopped bothering to create businesses
01:12 schestowitz[TR]; what's lacking isn't skilled people
01:12 schestowitz[TR]; there is no "skills shortage"
01:12 schestowitz[TR]; it's rhtoric spouted out by oligarchs' media
01:12 schestowitz[TR]; while the companies sack their most skilled read: expensive) staff
01:12 schestowitz[TR]; the problem is,
01:12 schestowitz[TR]; at the core,
01:12 schestowitz[TR]; capital got sucked out of economies
01:12 schestowitz[TR]; and few people hoarded it, won't spend it, "hide" it in some offshore accounts
01:12 schestowitz[TR]; scot-free, tax-free
01:13 psydruid; to some extent I agree with aggi that this is more like neo-feudalism
01:13 schestowitz[TR]; london and NL are among eu/europe market leaders in this
01:14 schestowitz[TR]; facilitating people in their 60s who say they need billions in some offshore account
01:14 schestowitz[TR]; "For safety"
01:14 schestowitz[TR]; what do they worry about? That it would run out??
01:14 psydruid; no one tries to fix anything and just accepts the situation as it is
01:14 psydruid; I would expect civil war or revolution
01:14 schestowitz[TR]; wait, it happens
01:14 schestowitz[TR]; many strikes here
01:14 schestowitz[TR]; porotests over pensions etc.
01:15 schestowitz[TR]; it's already disrupting "the system"
01:15 schestowitz[TR]; the rich think they can be aunaffected
01:15 schestowitz[TR]; by hiring mercenaries and having private doctors
01:15 schestowitz[TR]; and private planes whose pilots don't join strikes
01:15 schestowitz[TR]; but they live in a system where far more people than them are participants
01:16 psydruid; I would expect them to be taken out and shot in plain sight
01:16 schestowitz[TR]; mubarak found out the hard weay
01:16 schestowitz[TR]; and marcos
01:16 schestowitz[TR]; when people start marching to your mansion you're in trouble
01:16 psydruid; but I can't say this in public or I will get arrested
01:16 schestowitz[TR]; gunning them down or bombing them would only worsen things
01:17 schestowitz[TR]; so, in short, more countries might be heeading in this direction
01:17 schestowitz[TR]; unless they reset things
01:17 schestowitz[TR]; like the US New Deal
01:17 psydruid; I don't see how, the system has already been brought to its knees
01:17 schestowitz[TR]; yesterday in BBC they spoke of low work participation
01:17 schestowitz[TR]; like a third of UK adults don't work
01:17 schestowitz[TR]; and after COVID-19 some who want to work are unable to for wqork reasons
01:18 schestowitz[TR]; with the numbers jumping to about a million adults
01:18 psydruid; that's been my situation for the last year and a half
01:18 schestowitz[TR]; an economy where 30 million people work to keep a system with 70 million going is untenable
01:18 schestowitz[TR]; most citizens are not working basically
01:18 schestowitz[TR]; they are not a "burden"
01:18 schestowitz[TR]; so UBI is one way to settle it
01:19 schestowitz[TR]; othrs suggested making work weeks shorter
01:19 schestowitz[TR]; like 20-30 hours a week
01:19 schestowitz[TR]; and get more people in the loop
01:19 schestowitz[TR]; to balance off the toil
01:19 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, it was denmark that started 4-day work week, in public sector

01:20 schestowitz[TR]; as for free software, it's relevant because:
01:20 schestowitz[TR]; the large corporations turned people into supplicants
01:20 schestowitz[TR]; fixing bugs for them etc.
01:20 schestowitz[TR]; without paying them a salary
01:20 schestowitz[TR]; this was not the original vision of c ommunity
01:20 psydruid; the community sold itself out
01:20 schestowitz[TR]; rather, it's orgs gardening people or farming their capacity.... with a CoC
01:21 schestowitz[TR]; the CoC ensures the peasants or unpaid slaves cannot complain
01:21 schestowitz[TR]; that would be "hatred"
01:21 psydruid; thinking that only corporations deserve to make money
01:21 schestowitz[TR]; because they paoch some devs
01:21 schestowitz[TR]; and then those devs justidy the sellout
01:21 schestowitz[TR]; red hat did that a lot
01:21 psydruid; and free software developers have no other option than to enslave themselves
01:21 schestowitz[TR]; they "supported" us
01:21 schestowitz[TR]; now it's ICBM
01:22 schestowitz[TR]; the very very ethical company
01:22 schestowitz[TR]; ICBM... from Bob Young :-)
01:22 schestowitz[TR]; the man with the red baseball cap
01:22 schestowitz[TR]; or... Watson
01:22 psydruid; ICBM supported me by dropping a bomb on my flat
01:22 schestowitz[TR]; saluting Hitler to his face
01:22 schestowitz[TR]; BTW, Red Hat has been quiet lately
01:22 psydruid; Bob Young is the father of free software
01:22 schestowitz[TR]; and I've not received mail from them in like 2 eyars
01:23 psydruid; more important than RMS and LT combined
01:23 schestowitz[TR]; they try to get me to sto pwriting about IBM's record
01:23 schestowitz[TR]; Bob Young is OK
01:23 schestowitz[TR]; he made Lulu also
01:23 schestowitz[TR]; afaik, he did not try to cancel RMS
01:23 schestowitz[TR]; he did say he contributed more than RMS
01:23 schestowitz[TR]; by bringing gnu/linux to businesses
01:23 schestowitz[TR]; remember he left
01:24 schestowitz[TR]; and the people who took over later... that's not his fault
01:24 schestowitz[TR]; my first ditro was red hat
01:25 schestowitz[TR]; crucifying Young would be unfair
01:25 psydruid; if he had had more guts he would have tried to build another distro
01:25 schestowitz[TR]; because afaik he wasn't an opportunist
01:25 schestowitz[TR]; in the 90s when the tech world had boom he was replacing unix
01:25 schestowitz[TR]; solaris
01:25 psydruid; I don't know, I'm not in touch with any of these people
01:25 schestowitz[TR]; he was also a thorn on MSFT's side
01:25 schestowitz[TR]; Young ism low profile now
01:25 schestowitz[TR]; he's also not... younhg
01:26 schestowitz[TR]; Matt, whom he left in charge of Red Hat, also vanished
01:26 schestowitz[TR]; you'd struggle toi see him anywhweee
01:26 schestowitz[TR]; AllowHurst too
01:26 psydruid; Bob is old and retired and looking after Alice
01:26 schestowitz[TR]; have heard nothing about him in years... even before he was appointed as pres. at ibm
01:26 schestowitz[TR]; after hesold to icbm he keps very quiet
01:27 schestowitz[TR]; maybe too busy counting the dollars at his bank account
01:27 schestowitz[TR]; icbm had 3 red hat CEOs
01:27 schestowitz[TR]; in 3 years
01:27 schestowitz[TR]; not a sign oof health
01:27 schestowitz[TR]; and the latest ceo... have not heard his name since last year
01:27 psydruid; maybe he's a partner at Moret, Ernst & Young now
01:28 schestowitz[TR]; joking aside, we need to get "the house in order"
01:28 schestowitz[TR]; they left disarray
01:28 schestowitz[TR]; media, distros, etc.
01:28 schestowitz[TR]; at the same time the "big" companies also have their perils
01:28 schestowitz[TR]; they cannot make money
01:28 schestowitz[TR]; some can
01:28 schestowitz[TR]; most cannot
01:28 schestowitz[TR]; but we are not well organised to fill the gap
01:29 schestowitz[TR]; and they split us apart using BS politics
01:29 schestowitz[TR]; so you have peoplke like phanes fighting gulagboy
01:29 schestowitz[TR]; over non-tech issues
01:29 schestowitz[TR]; and people are herded inside shithub, which is languishing
01:29 schestowitz[TR]; it'll have many more layoffs
01:29 psydruid; like Vinod Khosla became a partner at some VC firm and now has his own
01:29 schestowitz[TR]; they lose money like crazy
01:29 schestowitz[TR]; and they lost many paid contracts
01:29 schestowitz[TR]; theirr sole income source
01:30 schestowitz[TR]; now theyn try to sell gpl violationd (copilot) "for business"
01:30 schestowitz[TR]; i doubt many businesses will pay for something that makes them legally liable without their awarenes
01:30 schestowitz[TR]; there is growing awareness that co[pilot is legal jar of worms
01:30 schestowitz[TR]; psydruid: many manager sat red hat left
01:30 schestowitz[TR]; many as in... you'd struggle to find many who stayed
01:31 schestowitz[TR]; engineers also, but some core ones did stay. like gnome/gtk devs.
01:31 schestowitz[TR]; some who defected to microsoft are being laid off
01:31 schestowitz[TR]; microsoft is done "parading" them as "wins"
01:31 schestowitz[TR]; and let them out in the pavement with a box of their belongings
01:32 schestowitz[TR]; like the azure sellouts
01:32 schestowitz[TR]; and port25/"open AT microsoft"
01:32 psydruid; I've always been shielded from these technologies and services
01:32 schestowitz[TR]; to microsoft the key point was,
01:32 schestowitz[TR]; take them out of their circles
01:32 schestowitz[TR]; and ensure they cannot contribute to FOSS
01:33 psydruid; other countries would do well to cut their dependencies on them
01:33 schestowitz[TR]; same thing it did to gentoo's founder
01:33 schestowitz[TR]; it's about disrupting the rtivals
01:33 schestowitz[TR]; and demoralising their communities
01:33 schestowitz[TR]; apple also
01:33 psydruid; reputations ruined forever for a quick buck
01:33 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
01:33 schestowitz[TR]; either way, at least TR has expalned the tactics
01:34 schestowitz[TR]; the corporations use a "edge"
01:34 psydruid; but it was expected
01:34 schestowitz[TR]; to paint communities as dangerous
01:34 schestowitz[TR]; and then market the monopolies as a "safe spacee"
01:34 schestowitz[TR]; while trolling us
01:34 schestowitz[TR]; all this "master", "whitelist" bs
01:34 psydruid; not everyone has free software ideals and sticks to them
01:34 schestowitz[TR]; notice they stopped doing that
01:34 schestowitz[TR]; as their hypocrisy kept showing
01:34 schestowitz[TR]; /sedge/wedge/
01:35 psydruid; in many cases free software or open source software is a means to an end
01:35 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> the corporations use a "wedge"
01:35 schestowitz[TR]; the anti-feminist and pro-war movements did the same
01:35 psydruid; and that end can also be furthering one's own career and revenue opportunities
01:35 schestowitz[TR]; communities got crushed by things like github
01:35 schestowitz[TR]; with a CoC
01:35 schestowitz[TR]; with censorship
01:35 psydruid; which is logical to some extent
01:35 schestowitz[TR]; and centralisation
01:36 schestowitz[TR]; it's about herding "cats"
01:36 schestowitz[TR]; cocs did not improve people's behaviour
01:36 psydruid; but if it comes with being limited in what you can do, it may not be worth it
01:36 schestowitz[TR]; they just caused new kinds of problems
01:36 schestowitz[TR]; and a culture of fear
01:36 schestowitz[TR]; fear of corporations
01:37 schestowitz[TR]; like people at work not saying things
01:37 schestowitz[TR]; for fear of getting sacked
01:37 schestowitz[TR]; "boss, we should change... never mind, never mind"

01:41 schestowitz[TR]; it did not work
01:41 schestowitz[TR]; they failed and then sold out to the enemies of the original mission
01:41 psydruid; it's the GPL that's important
01:41 schestowitz[TR]; you need to embrace tthe message of 40 years ago
01:41 schestowitz[TR]; and bring it back to the forefront
01:42 schestowitz[TR]; and highlight the latest perils
01:42 schestowitz[TR]; like all this "GPT" hype

01:42 psydruid; the current free software community or whatever is left of it is dead
01:42 schestowitz[TR]; btw, all this HEY HI stuff... proprietary
01:42 schestowitz[TR]; and very unethical
01:42 psydruid; so there is nothing to go back to
01:42 schestowitz[TR]; they used to mock GPL as being a threat to the very thing their HEY HI now attacks
01:42 schestowitz[TR]; llike regard for other people's work
01:43 schestowitz[TR]; the community is still there
01:43 schestowitz[TR]; but in greater limbo
01:43 schestowitz[TR]; you don't need millions of devs
01:43 psydruid; hiding in caves?
01:43 schestowitz[TR]; 10,000 can do a lot
01:43 schestowitz[TR]; and china, india can bring loads more
01:43 schestowitz[TR]; but the problem is different
01:43 psydruid; even 10 can do a lot
01:43 schestowitz[TR]; for instance,
01:43 schestowitz[TR]; take firefox
01:43 schestowitz[TR]; is that community-developed? no
01:43 schestowitz[TR]; w3c?
01:43 schestowitz[TR]; academics? no.
01:44 schestowitz[TR]; it's controlled by few corrporations
01:44 schestowitz[TR]; funded in part by "defence" money
01:44 schestowitz[TR]; so they gravitate towards bad stuff
01:44 schestowitz[TR]; that's where the money is
01:44 schestowitz[TR]; so take gemini
01:44 schestowitz[TR]; or netsurf
01:44 schestowitz[TR]; build around those things
01:44 psydruid; I do think a new free software movement could start in india
01:44 schestowitz[TR]; and make a space not controlled by w3c or mozilla (gulag/microsoft)

01:46 schestowitz[TR]; *waned
01:46 psydruid; I think in terms of software it could also develop its own OS and applications
01:46 schestowitz[TR]; yes, they take what's there already
01:46 schestowitz[TR]; also russian
01:46 schestowitz[TR]; they take existing stuff
01:46 schestowitz[TR]; and tweak it
01:46 psydruid; resisted by the US? or the US's serfs like Infosys?
01:46 schestowitz[TR]; infosys, yes
01:47 schestowitz[TR]; 'microsoft india'

03:53 DaemonFC; They'll either let you suffer or recommend some really invasive therapy.
03:53 DaemonFC; Within several hours of taking Butcher's Broom the pain is gone.
03:54 DaemonFC; But they're very dismissive of it because "it's an herb".
03:54 DaemonFC; They recommend expensive surgery that's not guaranteed to work.
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; you could argue that
03:55 DaemonFC; When you could just take a few dollars worth of pills for a while that you can get off Amazon and it won't be a problem again for a year or two.
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; 1) what britain conquered ended up better off than surrounding areas
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; or

05:11 schestowitz[TR]; Catholic school is not microsoft
05:11 DaemonFC; My parents wouldn't let me just leave even though there was nothing wrong with public school in Indiana back then.

05:11 DaemonFC; They didn't call the police about it.

05:13 schestowitz[TR]; no
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; they even police on the beat
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; on campus and hallways
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; they would even beat up young girls

05:13 DaemonFC; You don't want to deal with the police.
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; i don't
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; i learned
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; not because they abused me
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; i saw them abuse others
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; and they never solved a crime I reported
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; or gaave testimony on
05:14 DaemonFC; When the police get out there, they're as dangerous to you as they are to the person you called them about.
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; so i stopped talking to them, too
05:14 DaemonFC; Their viewpoint is they don't know what the Hell is going on.
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; when I was 22 ish the guard at the ahlls of rsidence cautioned me
05:15 DaemonFC; You might be involved in this and are just trying to get out ahead of it and throw off suspicion by going to them first.
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; i think one of them was a former cop
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; jamie
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; they said, don't criticise cops over the phone
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; or the police would make you the target
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; claiming "slander"
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; they dropped me offf their van after I gave testimony
05:15 schestowitz[TR]; and they dropped me off near the scene of the crime
05:16 schestowitz[TR]; one of the perpetrators was still nearby
05:16 schestowitz[TR]; as i left their van
05:16 schestowitz[TR]; for days I worried they had stalked me back to my place
05:16 schestowitz[TR]; and would seek revenge
05:16 DaemonFC; We don't have "Police Caution" here, unless it's just a traffic thing. Then there's verbal caution which doesn't get written down anywhere so you can get as many of those as you want as long as it doesn't get documented, and there's written caution.
05:16 schestowitz[TR]; they had punched some man just for being irish
05:16 DaemonFC; If they give you four warnings in a year, it turns into a general citation for too many warnings.
05:17 schestowitz[TR]; knocked him out unconscious
05:17 schestowitz[TR]; 3 of them
05:17 schestowitz[TR]; the police does not seek to care about safety much
05:17 schestowitz[TR]; they just want to score points
05:17 DaemonFC; Most people never get 4 warning tickets from the police because they either verbally caution to save themselves time or write you a ticket.
05:17 schestowitz[TR]; and would use fellow people
05:17 schestowitz[TR]; towards that goal
05:17 DaemonFC; Lately, they just write you a ticket.
05:17 DaemonFC; Everyone they pull over in Illinois gets a ticket.
05:17 schestowitz[TR]; wanted to get me to give testimony against a next-door neighbour
05:18 schestowitz[TR]; after he had punched his partner in the face, she said
05:18 DaemonFC; You may have heard that you should talk to the cops at a traffic stop because they have discretion about issuing a ticket.
05:18 DaemonFC; But the government is effectively bankrupt.
05:18 DaemonFC; And tickets are money.
05:18 DaemonFC; So you may as well cooperate to the minimum legal amount.

07:11 TR Bot; Stanford scholars co-signed Sam Bankman-Fried's $250 million bail deal | CNN Business
07:11 DaemonFC; "Prosecutors noted Bankman-Fried chose to use a VPN, or virtual private network, to watch the Super Bowl, even though it was readily available to watch in the US. A VPN is commonly used at businesses, but it also allows a user to disguise the computer they are using to access the internet.
07:11 DaemonFC; The use of a VPN, they said, could also make it harder for them to track asset transfers."
07:16 DaemonFC; It's a catch-all clause that's in almost every probation agreement, no matter what you're on probation for, that if you use electronic devices, they can snoop around and you have to unlock them and they don't need a warrant to monitor anything you do online.
07:18 DaemonFC; There's usually about 8 million Americans on probation or parole at any given time.
07:19 DaemonFC; That's more people than live in Indiana who have no right to privacy from the government at all.
07:19 DaemonFC; So if you are on probation or parole, as long as it doesn't expressly forbid you from using Tor and a VPN, I'd recommend it.

07:20 DaemonFC; It also doesn't say that you can't turn off your browser cache and history and delete them.
07:20 DaemonFC; It just says they can search them and look at whatever's already there.
07:22 DaemonFC; So if there's nothing there because you're using Brave Tor Tabs on top of Mullvad, then they can get, at best, a bunch of heavily encrypted who-knows-what from your ISP, and if they come search your device, there's no record of anything either..
07:23 DaemonFC; Basically, most people who end up on probation are not computer experts.
07:24 DaemonFC; So they're probably using Windows and going about their business like they always would, and everyone they interact with is logging everything and then you have all of this potential evidence laying around.
07:24 DaemonFC; The most important thing in a legal dispute is that you can deny something ever happened and they've got nothing.
07:25 DaemonFC; If you can't do this "area denial" then at least do what you can.
07:27 DaemonFC; Area denial is a military term. It's exactly what it sounds like. Two armies are at war. One is trying to advance, and perhaps the defender can't just come up and fucking kill all of them or force them into retreat, but they can use Area Denial to force the enemy to enter through a chokepoint where they're more exposed and take heavier losses, or just slow down their advance to give the defender time to prepare.
07:28 DaemonFC; So this can be anything from mobilizing your civilians to build a trench around the city, like the Russians did in WW II around Moscow so that the enemy tanks and troops can't get through easily, to burying landmines everywhere, like the 38th Parallel DMZ in Korea.
07:31 DaemonFC; It's best to think of court as like enemy action. Your goal is to disrupt, deny, and sabotage (including "poisoning the well"), all while making it appear like you're just going to court and having your lawyer make motions, and pissing in a cup for probation. And not all methods, or even most, are illegal. They're just what any smart person would do.
07:32 DaemonFC; If anything could possibly be useful to the enemy, you take it away. The Russians apparently don't know that because they keep running away from operational tanks and fighting vehicles they can't take with them instead of tossing a few grenades inside first.

07:36 DaemonFC; You have to start thinking like an insurgent when you're a defendant in court and the enemy is the government.
07:37 DaemonFC; These people are big, they have unlimited resources, there's no way to just meet them on the battlefield and hope for the best.
07:37 DaemonFC; How do you start picking away at what they have?
07:37 DaemonFC; First off, you shouldn't give them anything they don't have already.
07:38 DaemonFC; But from there you need to assess the situation and see exactly what they think they have on you.
07:38 DaemonFC; The harder the cops try to convince you to talk to them, the more that tells you they need more.
07:39 DaemonFC; The most damning thing that could have happened would be that there's lots of evidence of whatever accusation someone made against you, or that the cop themselves saw it and can testify to that effect.
07:40 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], That's what I meant when I said don't interact with the police.
07:40 DaemonFC; The more you're out of their line of sight the less they can testify to.
07:41 DaemonFC; Police testimony is one of the worst things for you when something gets to court, other than your own admission of guilt.
07:41 DaemonFC; When I lived in Indiana, I smoked pot quite a bit.
07:42 DaemonFC; And you know how I went to where I bought it and home?
07:42 DaemonFC; On foot or in a city bus or via taxi.
07:43 DaemonFC; And when I was at home, close the curtains.
07:43 DaemonFC; It doesn't hurt to open a window if you're up on one of the higher floors though.
07:43 DaemonFC; That way nobody smells something and calls them.
07:45 DaemonFC; I got smarter about it after I got caught once when I was a teenager.
07:45 DaemonFC; The Republican Party in Indiana is talking about decriminalizing weed now.
07:46 DaemonFC; I mean, it's not close to happening, but now that the Senate is talking about it, I mean, this is a monumental shift.
07:47 DaemonFC; This is Indiana, the one that sent cops through all the schools to give the kids "First it's weed, and then before you know it it's crack." speeches.

09:23 schestowitz[TR]; with large bullet?
09:24 DaemonFC; They have special slugs for door breach.
09:24 DaemonFC; I'm not much of a long gun person.
09:25 DaemonFC; There's too many drawbacks.
09:25 DaemonFC; You're obviously not conceal and carrying them.
09:25 DaemonFC; The long barrel makes it hard to lead a target up close. So they're massively overrated for home defense.
09:25 DaemonFC; But at a distance, they're far less effective.
09:26 DaemonFC; If you saw the barrel off, you've committed a felony.
09:27 DaemonFC; You're more likely to blow a chunk out of your wall than to hit the guy.
09:27 DaemonFC; Unless you've got some time to get ready and take aim before he gets into the house, you're in trouble.
09:28 schestowitz[TR]; they are not designed for short barrels
09:28 schestowitz[TR]; the bullets that is
09:28 DaemonFC; They're just huge and overpowered.
09:28 DaemonFC; They're not great for home defense.
09:29 schestowitz[TR]; rifles are overrated :-)
09:29 schestowitz[TR]; for most practical purposes a pistol would be ok
09:29 schestowitz[TR]; except
09:29 schestowitz[TR]; in warzones
09:29 DaemonFC; Unless you're in a long distance shoot-out you don't want a rifle.
09:29 schestowitz[TR]; or mass shootings
09:29 schestowitz[TR]; which are, in effect, warzones
09:30 DaemonFC; I can see the mass shooter's angle though, the mindset. I understand it.
09:30 DaemonFC; Society has failed you. Not any one particular person, but all of them in some way. And you're angry about it.
09:30 DaemonFC; You can't get all of them, but you can just open fire into a crowd and kill as many of them as possible. Then yourself, before the police get to you.
09:31 DaemonFC; One last middle finger. The courts can't do anything about you so you've also denied people any closure.
09:31 DaemonFC; There's nobody to get revenge on.
09:31 DaemonFC; Or punish.
09:31 DaemonFC; You were probably going to kill yourself anyway.
09:31 schestowitz[TR]; yesterday i studied uk suicide figures
09:31 schestowitz[TR]; they distinguish causes a bit
09:32 schestowitz[TR]; suppose there are more that are "unknown" or homicides
09:32 schestowitz[TR]; or murder-suicide
09:32 schestowitz[TR]; either way,
09:32 schestowitz[TR]; in 2022 it was not a lot higher than prior years
09:32 schestowitz[TR]; I wanted to know because of COVID-19 and mortality
09:32 schestowitz[TR]; the suicides don't contribute much to the surge
09:32 schestowitz[TR]; maybe 1-5% of the surge
09:33 schestowitz[TR]; the other 95%+ is something else
09:33 DaemonFC; Many people who "recover" from COVID find out that the symptoms are never going away.
09:33 DaemonFC; And they end up offing themselves.
09:33 schestowitz[TR]; yeah, but
09:33 schestowitz[TR]; that's why I checked ONS figures
09:33 schestowitz[TR]; per week the uk has about 100 suicides or fewer
09:33 schestowitz[TR]; the surplus in deaths is like 3,000
09:33 schestowitz[TR]; some weeks it's 2,000
09:33 DaemonFC; I understand things are getting bad there in general.
09:34 DaemonFC; Bad economy, lost jobs.
09:34 schestowitz[TR]; the INCREASE in suicides per week is about 10-20
09:34 DaemonFC; I mean, people get to a point where they figure they'll never see daylight again.
09:34 schestowitz[TR]; 10-20 is not 2,000-3,000
09:34 DaemonFC; And right or wrong, you know, that's what it is.
09:34 schestowitz[TR]; but that line you push there
09:34 DaemonFC; Mom was asking me why people kill themselves when they get a setback.
09:34 schestowitz[TR]; it's face-saving
09:34 schestowitz[TR]; because there is something else
09:34 DaemonFC; I told her a lot of them just, it's an ego thing.
09:35 schestowitz[TR]; health conditions
09:35 schestowitz[TR]; possibly side effects of that mass vaccination, too
09:35 DaemonFC; They're not used to and won't accept living in "reduced circumstances".

09:36 schestowitz[TR]; what a waste
09:36 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, the sum total is, fw extra suicides
09:37 schestowitz[TR]; maybe 500-1000 more per year
09:37 schestowitz[TR]; but deaths are, in general, about 120,000 more
09:37 schestowitz[TR]; i don't want to blog about suicide
09:37 schestowitz[TR]; some people misinterpret that
09:37 schestowitz[TR]; like, if you talk about suicide, thewn you contemplate it
09:37 schestowitz[TR]; also, the gov. does not like to talk about it because it does, apparently, make people consider that option
09:37 schestowitz[TR]; "so many people do it anyway"
09:38 DaemonFC; The US government doesn't give a shit about suicides.
09:38 DaemonFC; I doubt your government does either.
09:38 schestowitz[TR]; they soared

21:27 TR Bot; Microsoft commits to the "Industrial Metaverse"
21:27 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], ^
21:28 DaemonFC; We need an article about the "Metaverse" being a viral meme among tech company CEOs, like Large Language Models which can hallucinate an article on the many scientifically established benefits of eating ground glass.
21:29 DaemonFC; This was not the original article, btw.
21:30 DaemonFC; The original version said that Microsoft was cutting everything that couldn't "produce significant profits in the near-term".
21:31 DaemonFC; And then Microsoft obviously contacted them to have them take it down or re-spin the situation.
21:31 DaemonFC; The original article is still there.
21:35 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
21:35 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:35 DaemonFC; Microsoft contacted a company that wrote about their failed HoLOLens unit and demanded that they neutralize the article.
21:35 DaemonFC; I'm working on preserving the original article before they can take it down later and make it appear that they never said these things.
21:35 DaemonFC; Then I'll cite it on my blog.
21:35 DaemonFC; Big companies have a way of silencing shareholders. There should have been a Vote of No Confidence in Satya Nadella already, but Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer are still at work using this guy as a puppet.

22:06 TR Bot; Tesla recalls 362,758 vehicles, says FSD Beta software may cause crashes
22:09 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
22:09 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:09 DaemonFC; The [Tesla] FSD Beta may Act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution, according to a safety recall report on the website of the NHTSA.
22:09 DaemonFC; The FSD Beta system may also have trouble responding appropriately to changes in posted speed limits, the notice said.

22:22 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
22:22 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:22 DaemonFC; LLMs like Chat with Bing have no inherent sense of truth, so the statement that 2022 is in the future is plausible due to the fact that it's a text generator that doesn't account for the unidirectional flow of time.
22:22 DaemonFC; As far as it's concerned, time might flow backwards, rendering the December 16th 2022 release of Avatar: The Way of Water into the future from where we are at now. Since you can't buy tickets until the movie is released, and 2022 is the future, it follows that there's no showtimes.

22:29 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:29 DaemonFC; A downstate Illinois man who burned the flag and got arrested for it celebrated his $15,000 wrongful arrest settlement by burning another flag and posting it to YouTube.
22:29 DaemonFC; https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/113me4m/now_this_is_praxis/
22:29 DaemonFC; In the original story, the arrest came because the police department said he was getting death threats and they felt compelled to file criminal charges against him "for his own safety.

22:35 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:35 DaemonFC; In addition to allowing the public to make death threats and trying to get him fired and doxing, the cops arrested Mellot for Disorderly Conduct and flag desecration.
22:35 DaemonFC; The charges were dismissed.
22:35 DaemonFC; But he found out good and early in life that America will eventually try to bend you over and fuck you and fuck you and it'll keep on fucking you until you'd rather be dead just to make the fucking stop, and then if you're lucky enough that it does stop they'll demand that you tell it thank you.
22:39 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
22:39 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:39 DaemonFC; I learned the lesson that I mentioned in my last post a few years ago. I always knew on some level that my government didn't care if I lived or died and then my day came where it was fucking, fucking, and more fucking, and then having to tell it thanks for stopping.
22:39 DaemonFC; I have no idea why anyone would be angry about someone burning the flag. If there's anything outrageous about the flag it's that some people buy one and run it up a flag pole at their own expense while the system is nasty to them.

23:07 DaemonFC; Mozilla is trying to deal with third party junk that gets loaded into Firefox on Windows and causes it to crash and experience bad performance.

23:28 DaemonFC; If the government, the feds no less, had evidence that you were out on bail tampering with evidence and threatening witnesses using privacy networks to get away with it, they would revoke your bail immediately.
23:28 DaemonFC; For SBF, he calls that a Wednesday, and when the federal judge has something to say about that, his lawyer debates what SBF will "allow" as part of his bail terms.
