01:06 TR Bot; Pollution everywhere: how one-click shopping is creating Amazon warehouse towns | Amazon | The Guardian
01:07 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, Amazon is rapidly expanding these in my area.
01:07 DaemonFC; The place used to have a lot of industry, then it all got wiped out, and now it loses 1.5% of its population every single year.
01:08 DaemonFC; Cities aren't designed to lose population this fast.
01:08 DaemonFC; It's what happened to Gary, Indiana.
01:08 DaemonFC; I'm sure our landlord would have loved to raise our rent 7-10% or whatever he could get away with.
01:08 DaemonFC; But 1.5% was apparently it.
01:09 DaemonFC; The value of the property doesn't rise here like it does in some other places.
01:10 DaemonFC; When people are leaving and property taxes are rising anyway because of broken pension promises to people who don't even work for the government or live here anymore, this is what happens.
01:10 DaemonFC; He's maintaining the building as cheaply as possible, so that it can stay working.
01:11 DaemonFC; It's not in horrible shape, but the plumbing needs repairs and it's getting a rooter every once in a while to keep it flowing.
01:11 DaemonFC; The plumbing is definitely the major downside of the building.

02:05 DaemonFC; LOL
02:05 DaemonFC; NameCVE-2021-38505
02:05 DaemonFC; DescriptionMicrosoft introduced a new feature in Windows 10 known as Cloud Clipboard which, if enabled, will record data copied to the clipboard to the cloud, and make it available on other computers in certain scenarios. Applications that wish to prevent copied data from being recorded in Cloud History must use specific clipboard formats; and Firefox before versions 94 and ESR 91.3 did not implement them. This could have caused sensitive data
02:05 DaemonFC; to be recorded to a user's Microsoft account. *This bug only affects Firefox for Windows 10+ with Cloud Clipboard enabled. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 94, Thunderbird < 91.3, and Firefox ESR < 91.3.
02:05 schestowitz-TR; yes, I saw it

17:08 activelow; iirc the rk3588 is one of the heterogenous SMP chips (big.LITTLE), with the big core cluster being "out-of-order" execution pipelined etc.
17:08 activelow; this contradicts the idea of RISC, cortex-A72 and similar
17:09 activelow; furthermore, those ARM SoC are proprietary hardware
17:10 activelow; the rockchip SoC are decent chips, powerful, with alot of GNU/linux support (needs to be verified with the most recent generation if anything was blobbed again as it initially was with rk3328 and rk3399 chips too)
17:10 activelow; some Linux systems shipped the blobbed boot-loader, Armbian is OK... if Armbian is listing "supported" for any desired board
17:11 activelow; however, personally, i will not acquire any of those rockchip/pine/arm boards again
17:11 activelow; alltogether, with aarch64 the ISA is growing again, lots of special compiler switches and variants for various ARM CPUs... again contradicting the idea of RISC somehow

17:13 activelow; and, rockchip (and/or armbian) didn't mainline all required patches for rk3328/rk3399; which is very annoying
17:14 activelow; for my workflow, with rudimentary verification
17:14 activelow; meaning, i have a look at the source codes, and if patches are scattered accross dozens of branches and distros that's horrible
17:16 activelow; alltogether, the rockchip/pine64 boards are among the best supported ARM SBC for GNU/Linux, very powerful, low power consumption
17:18 activelow; these require less or no malicious blobs at all in comparison to raspberry, however raspberry are more widely deployed
17:18 activelow; not sure, pine64 may or may not offer long-term-supply, and occasionally various desired boards were not produced or sold at all
17:19 activelow; for example, i considered their original pinebook (with allwinner chip), however this isn't available anywhere
17:19 activelow; and in this case, even with perfect software support from GNU/Linux/Armbian, any effort is futile

17:23 activelow; furthermore, i noticed, Armbian upgraded Kernel from 4.4LTS to 5.10LTS... and this broke some hardware support for some rk3328 SBC from pine64... which is disappointing given rk3328 hit the market in year 2016, was stabilized since then, and a few month later an update broke the 3.5mm audio-jack output (which isn't fixed yet to my knowledge)
17:23 activelow; and this is another show-stopper, if kernel-upgrades, which support the desired hardware, break things which worked perfectly before

17:24 XRevan86; > Commenting on these reports, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisted that there arent any Russian military personnel stationed in the peoples republics in eastern Ukraine.
17:24 activelow; at least, kernel 4.4LTS is an extreme long term one, however, none of the developers i asked had recommended anymore to downgrade to kernel 4.4version, which had spared me some days/weeks of bug tracking and testing and patching

17:32 activelow; meanwhile, ALL required packages succeeded, with a new cross-compiler from armv6 (i won't follow aarch64 if it can be avoided);
17:32 XRevan86; armv6, cool
17:33 XRevan86; Brings me back all the way to the year 2009.
17:33 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 24.18 k/sec., IPFS upstream 56.46 average k/sec., average swarm size 254.31
17:34 activelow; armv8 is backward compatible to armv6, and with armv6 i wouldn't need to recompile for different variants too often (meaning i can drop for raspi1/2/3/4 and various rockchip, and only alter the bootloader and similar)
17:34 activelow; not sure yet, if kernel compiled for armv6 fully supports aarch64 rk3328/rk3399 chips... it should
17:34 XRevan86; Are ye sure ye don't mean armv7?
17:34 activelow; XRevan86: opinion on what?
17:35 activelow; nope, i chose armv6, because it intersected with a raspberry pi version (and similar)
17:35 XRevan86; activelow: A guy who killed a Chechen dissident with a gun in Germany and got caught trying to get rid of the evidence.
17:36 XRevan86; activelow: Raspberry Pi is years younger than ARMv6.
17:36 activelow; XRevan86: i got no opinion on that, only followed news the agent is put on trial in germany now
17:38 XRevan86; oh, the very first one was indeed ARMv6
17:38 activelow; ARMv6=ARM11, somewhat confusing
17:39 XRevan86; RPi 2+ are ARMv7
17:39 activelow; yes, and armv6 with hardfloat should be good enough... i'll find out soon... required two weeks to repair cross-compilation
17:39 XRevan86; (or later)
17:40 activelow; the idea is, even modern aarch64/armv8 systems can be booted and run on armv6/32bit kernel/userland
17:40 activelow; and from there, i can deploy to any target which is armv6 minimum

19:44 XRevan86; By general purpose I mean not literally Linux inside BIOS.
19:44 leah; but i guess "bios" just means "boot firmware" in your mind. you're not thinking literally about x86 bios services, but about the whole thing, right?
19:44 leah; i think gnu grub is better than seabios
19:44 leah; but with that (as payload) you don't get bios services. stuff that actually uses the bios routines (old windows, dos etc) won't run
19:45 leah; linux kernel runs on bare metal
19:45 leah; it's an on-the-metal kernel on x86
19:45 leah; it doesn't use bios/uefi stuff. that's why in libreboot we can have just grub in firmware and boot a kernel and it works
19:45 XRevan86; leah: Would it need a hard coded location for /boot or something?
19:46 leah; (and it will use text mode, coreboot framebuffer or the video driver for your graphics hardware takes over and sets up its own framebuffer)

20:11 leah; especially *that* article
20:11 SomeH4x0r; sad

20:12 SomeH4x0r; I'd prefer keeping everything as-is, and opt-out being known

20:12 leah; schestowitz: i have a new project planned btw
20:12 SomeH4x0r; (and some files linked from elsewhere)
20:12 leah; bootloader project
20:13 schestowitz-TR; oh
20:13 schestowitz-TR; from cratch?
20:13 schestowitz-TR; from scratch?
20:13 leah; * 2016's version of Libreboot has GRUB patches adding LUKS detached
20:13 leah; header and keyfile support. It's a nice feature, but not essential (it
20:13 leah; also support for another mode in dm-crypt that most people don't use)
20:13 leah; * GNU's official GRUB version doesn't have those patches. And those
20:13 leah; patches only touch LUKS1. I want to adapt those patches for LUKS2, and
20:13 leah; re-merg them in Libreboot and osboot's version of GRUB. Those patches
20:13 leah; no longer apply cleanly to GNU's own code, since they re-factored it a
20:13 leah; lot when they added LUKSv2 support
20:13 leah; * I want to re-write GRUB's entire build system, and make it more
20:13 leah; modular, but re-use GRUB's kernel, libs, drivers etc. I want to make it
20:13 leah; configurable via ncurses based interface and Kconfig files, like when
20:13 leah; you build a Linux kernel and can add/remove modules. And I want to
20:13 leah; remove legacy/unused/unmaintained/crap code from the GRUB codebase
20:13 leah; * Basically, I want to start a new bootloader project of my own, a
20:14 leah; complete fork of GNU GRUB. I call it: Completely Reconfigurable Unified
20:14 leah; Multiboot2 Bootloader (crumb), as a play on the name "grub"
20:14 leah; (i pasted this from an email i wrote earlier. it lays out my plans)
20:14 schestowitz-TR; you either type incrtedibly fast
20:14 leah; i plan to start it later this month or in the new year. i've got company stuff to deal with in the meantime

20:17 leah; schestowitz-TR: don't target johns btw. he's not evil, just lame. that stuff about librem and freenode.live 2017 is just random bullshit
20:17 leah; he was probably just still pissed with me about my 2016 stunt. wounds take a long time to heal, and sometimes never do
20:17 leah; plus, attacking johns on techrights would hurt the fsf
20:18 leah; and the fsf, despite their obvious corruption (taking bribes from purism), is still a useful organisation
20:18 leah; e.g. they maintain infrastructure for gnu.org
20:18 leah; it's gnu.org that i value
20:18 leah; fsf is meh. but gnu is actually good. always has been, and always will be
20:19 leah; plus john's influence will die after a period of time. he's almost gone now. i have sources on the inside that tell me he's basically finished. he does almost nothing
20:20 leah; greg farough and zoey kooman are doing all the work at the fsf right now
20:20 leah; holding things together
20:20 leah; along with the sysadmin staff
20:20 leah; plus craigt is solid
20:20 leah; i think the fsf will go on, and be ok. the "better days" of the last decade was just all marketing fluff. e.g. inviting people ideologically opposed to fsf to libreplanet
20:20 cow_20012; woah
20:20 leah; but gnu continues to be useful
20:21 leah; at the very least, we should not attack the fsf
20:21 schestowitz-TR; ok, let me put it like this
20:21 leah; despite their flaws, especially exposed during 2021, i'll still lend aid to the fsf if asked. and to gnu
20:22 *schestowitz-TR have just posted some stuff in tuxmachines
20:22 schestowitz-TR; the above is logged
20:22 schestowitz-TR; I don't need to do an article about it

20:23 DaemonFC; "I live in a small suburban city that has separate taxes from the county. The city is owed approximately $630. The county is owed approximately $5,600. This has all been paid. But, the mortgage company also sent a $5,600 check to the city. The city says that it sent the check back about 4 weeks ago because it was an overpayment. The bank says they never got the returned check.
20:23 DaemonFC; In the meantime, my mortgage is going up $415 a month to cover the difference."

20:26 activelow; i don't know, GNU/FSF #1 project, which is gcc... see for yourself; of cause, it's opensource, it's GPL, nonetheless... what is it nowadays? some corporate playground to push proprietary extension support into.
20:26 activelow; $ man gcc ... see for yourself
20:26 leah; that's what png stands for
20:26 leah; png is not gif
20:27 leah; it's a recursive acronym
20:27 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, Apple deleted all references to it and will just slip it in later, quietly.
20:27 leah; some people actually call it "ping" verbally
20:27 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: sounds predictable
20:27 leah; schestowitz-TR: purism is not the lesser evil

20:28 schestowitz-TR; they pay "vloggers"
20:28 schestowitz-TR; "ifnluecers"
20:28 leah; system76 is the real deal. i wouldn't personally buy their current hardware, but they seem to have their head in the right place
20:28 activelow; in case of gcc, the firmware blobs are the proprietary vendor extensions added, something which fsf/gnu opposed, until egcs was renamed into gcc
20:28 schestowitz-TR; many of the "Linux" OEMs buy off "vloggers"
20:28 leah; in fact
20:29 schestowitz-TR; librem wanted to send me a laptop

20:36 activelow; gcc-4.7.4, this is what i'll keep, and not any later anymore... working on it, almost there.
20:36 activelow; then next, with all c++ removed, i'll try PCC (which required a downgrade to ARM32bit because it doesn't support aarch64)
20:36 cow_20012; next one will be a system76, then?
20:37 DaemonFC; <schestowitz-TR> maybe they can house the homeless in it
20:37 DaemonFC; That too has happened. Not officially.
20:37 DaemonFC; That's why the building is infested with bedbugs that they can't get rid of.
20:37 activelow; the only free/open intel design was i8080 (8086?)... any later is closed source to my knowledge
20:38 activelow; anyone being honest about it, couldn't argue any later was free/opensource, just because some compiler with proprietary extension support existed
20:38 DaemonFC; MinceR, Ever since I saw Austin Powers in the 90s and someone mentions something unaware that it's already the case....
20:38 DaemonFC; I clear my throat and say "That too has happened.".

20:50 DaemonFC; He doesn't have to do anything on student loans until he reads the polls going into the election.

20:50 DaemonFC; If he has to, he can always forgive however much he wants and send out the letters then.
20:50 leah; but that's due to high turnout
20:50 leah; biden's administration will keep fucking up
20:51 leah; and next time, people will stay at home. trump will win
20:51 activelow; leah: i am hoping for i will succeed with replacing gcc, NOT with another such beast as LLVM, instead with PCC as the only system compiler, long-term
20:51 DaemonFC; There's still plenty of criminal charges to hit him with.

20:52 leah; activelow: but C isn't the only language
20:52 leah; gcc and llvm's strengths are support for multiple languages. and architectures
20:52 leah; pcc only handles c right?

21:02 schestowitz-TR; help libreboot, get nothing
21:02 schestowitz-TR; help Microsoft-controls-your-boot-permissions, get FSF award
21:02 schestowitz-TR; PLUS
21:02 schestowitz-TR; Red Hat salary
21:03 schestowitz-TR; as I noted before,
21:03 schestowitz-TR; FSF was paid by Red Hat and Intel that year
21:03 schestowitz-TR; those are not donations
21:03 schestowitz-TR; they come with expectations
21:03 schestowitz-TR; they're more like investments
21:05 DaemonFC; <schestowitz-TR> they might even file for bankruptcy before you get it
21:05 DaemonFC; LOL
21:06 DaemonFC; Anyway, there's no chance of Trump coming back before Mandy's green card is final.
21:07 DaemonFC; So whatever decisions he makes at USCIS by that point will be irrelevant.
21:08 DaemonFC; The Republicans definitely don't have the votes to change immigration law all by themselves even if Trump comes back and they are the majority in the Senate. 60 votes to do that, and I think the maximum the Republicans can get right now would be 55 seats if they bowled a perfect game.
21:09 DaemonFC; Nobody is going to give them an immigration reform bill, and they'd still need all their members and five Democrats to pass it if they wrote one.
21:09 DaemonFC; They couldn't even agree to repeal the ACA with 54 Senate seats.
21:10 DaemonFC; The tax law removed the most unpopular part. The "Oh, you can't afford insurance and get no subsidies? Well, you have to pay a fine to the IRS now!" provision. Obama didn't even want that.
21:11 DaemonFC; I think that with the way most people think, if it's not a clearly immediate problem for them, they psychologically discount it.
21:11 DaemonFC; So even though the ACA is hurting them in other ways, the IRS fine is gone and that was the most "In your face." thing the law does in a negative way.
21:12 DaemonFC; That's why it's so much easier to undermine someone than to come at them with both barrels. As long as they see you as more of an annoyance than an active threat, they'll ignore you.

21:23 leah; schestowitz-TR: btw
21:23 leah; i have some interesting irc logs
21:23 leah; but i'm wondering whether i should share them
21:23 leah; it pertains to the technoethical thing
21:24 leah; fsf has known for some time, like, at least the last few months, if not the whole year, that technoethical is fraudulent, doesn't ship orders, etc
21:24 schestowitz-TR; wht is that?
21:24 leah; and consider that for a moment: their giving guide, released like what, a week ago?
21:24 leah; it lists technoethical
21:25 leah; but it's not useful for me to share them. it would only promote technoethical
21:25 leah; i sense that the fsf will de-list them soon
21:25 schestowitz-TR; fs should endorse iself
21:25 leah; i also sense that their ryf program is going to be culled at some point
21:25 schestowitz-TR; and that is it
21:25 leah; oh?
21:25 leah; yeah well
21:25 schestowitz-TR; it does not conctrol others
21:25 leah; technoethical has been scamming customers for years
21:26 leah; *years*
21:26 leah; there are forum posts, reddit posts
21:26 schestowitz-TR; thyey are risky
21:26 leah; one every few months. for years
21:26 schestowitz-TR; like photo ops
21:26 leah; and fsf has known about it
21:26 leah; but when i asked, i was told:
21:26 leah; "we are looking into it"
21:26 leah; "due diligence" was the term they used, to describe that
21:27 leah; 3 years later, technoethical is still endorsed
21:27 leah; but it's bankrupt
21:27 schestowitz-TR; wow
21:27 schestowitz-TR; url?
21:27 leah; fuck it, i'll link it
21:27 leah; hang on
21:27 leah; a lot of it is on reddit and trisquel forums
21:27 leah; i want to see if the fsf will do the right thing first

21:32 leah; 2021-10-28 20:53:00 leah i actually proposed to the fsf a few years ago a few ways to strengthen it. i guess you mean it's stagnating

23:13 leah; well:
23:13 leah; hey dt! i love your videos. i watched them all
23:13 leah; from libreboot with love
23:13 DaemonFC; The FDA approved it because they were looking for a substitute nasal decongestant that can't be used like pseudoephedrine to make meth.
23:13 leah; schestowitz-TR: anyway, where were we...
23:13 DaemonFC; So they took drug companies at their word that the PE stuff works (it doesn't) and approved it.
23:13 DaemonFC; And now we have a drug that does nothing.
23:13 leah; schestowitz-TR: i don't think the fsf is evil

23:14 leah; they used to be amazing
23:14 leah; 2005's FSF was amazing
23:14 DaemonFC; You have to go to the pharmacist, ask, be scanned to see if you look sketchy, show your ID, and maybe get real sinus decongestant.
23:14 schestowitz-TR; I liked the old campaigns
23:14 leah; 1980s and 1990s FSF was absolutely world-beating
23:14 schestowitz-TR; like bad vista

23:14 leah; the FSF i knew as a teenager was amazing
23:14 schestowitz-TR; the corporate media shamed them into stopping it
23:14 leah; i would *absolutely* support that fsf
23:14 leah; schestowitz-TR: and i saw an opportunity for *that* fsf to return, this year
23:14 leah; schestowitz-TR: but the fsf lost steam. the stuff with rms was a total fluke, earlier this year
23:15 leah; it is now an organization living in the past, high on past glory
23:15 schestowitz-TR; no, they did ok

23:15 schestowitz-TR; they are fixing things
23:15 schestowitz-TR; better than last year
23:15 leah; i actually told him recently to grow a pair. in an email. i told him: you should just take over, and be the executive director
23:15 DaemonFC; So I went back and bought pseudoephedrine later and bam....works every time.
23:15 leah; i no longer support the fsf, and i'm disullusioned with rms
23:15 DaemonFC; Politicians in charge of healthcare.
23:15 leah; but i would totally respect rms if he did that
23:16 leah; he should just fucking own it

23:16 schestowitz-TR; he is
23:16 schestowitz-TR; he's in charge
23:16 leah; not in practise he isn't
23:16 schestowitz-TR; but from behind the curtain
23:16 schestowitz-TR; for pr reasons
23:16 leah; he's in charge of shit
23:16 leah; a failing empire
23:16 leah; he needs to get his hands dirty
23:16 schestowitz-TR; we get our hands dirty
23:16 leah; but he wants someone like me (but not *me*) to do his work for him
23:16 schestowitz-TR; but we're not fsf
23:16 schestowitz-TR; and we don't have some amazing gnu project

23:17 schestowitz-TR; afaik, his posts are checked

23:18 DaemonFC; To make sure they don't say that Jeff Epstein's victims may have consented to sexual intercourse at 12?
23:18 schestowitz-TR; so the revolutionary strands got muted
23:18 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: who said that
23:18 schestowitz-TR; ?
23:18 leah; schestowitz-TR: i didn't become disillusioned with *the* fsf
23:18 DaemonFC; That's what Stallman allegedly said.
23:18 schestowitz-TR; nno
23:18 DaemonFC; I don't know. I don't follow that closely.
23:19 schestowitz-TR; he did not say anything remotely like this
23:19 schestowitz-TR; read up on it
23:19 leah; schestowitz-TR: i became disillusioned in the last few months, with the organisation that is currently pretending to be the fsf
23:19 DaemonFC; I have seen him say a 16 or 17 year old may have consented.
23:19 DaemonFC; Which is true.
23:19 leah; schestowitz-TR: the one that rejected my plans to turn it back to former glory
23:19 leah; i wanted to restore the fsf
23:19 DaemonFC; Only a few states don't have that as their law.
23:19 leah; and i was prepared to lay my life on the line to do it
23:19 leah; they wouldn't have any of it. they chose not to trust me. which is fair enough
23:19 leah; but others like me also reached out
23:19 leah; the fsf would have none of it
23:19 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, Speaking of Washington state and perverts...
23:20 DaemonFC; Apparently, Washington state only enacted a bestiality law after an incident in like 2007.
23:20 leah; i don't care about rms the man. i care about free software
23:20 schestowitz-TR; leah: you won't like me for saying it
23:20 schestowitz-TR; but I understand them
23:20 schestowitz-TR; if they don't trust you
23:20 schestowitz-TR; because of the past
23:20 leah; why would i dislike you?
23:20 DaemonFC; SOme guy had his colon perforated by a horse and then another man dumped his body at a nearby hospital.
23:20 leah; you're just being real
23:20 schestowitz-TR; which gives clues about the future
23:20 schestowitz-TR; like the "boytcott GNU" episode
23:20 leah; i'm incapable of understanding human empathy, and just emulate it
23:20 leah; so that shit is alien to me
23:21 DaemonFC; When the police looked at the law books, there was no law against "humanely fucking a horse", only injuring an animal.
23:21 leah; but i trust your judgement in this matter
23:21 schestowitz-TR; that's imperling you as the face of FSF
23:21 DaemonFC; And so since the animal injured him, but the animal was unharmed while doing it, they got the other guy on trespassing.
23:21 leah; imperling. i never heard that word before
23:21 leah; schestowitz-TR: i care about facts, rationality and the future
23:21 DaemonFC; The judge fined him a few hundred bucks for trespassing and told him to never go to that farm again.
23:22 DaemonFC; Meanwhile, his friend died from his injuries.
23:22 leah; i sometimes mention the past, but only in the context of a pattern it represents, as it pertains to the future
23:22 leah; but those patterns can be defied
23:22 leah; and i try to defy them daily and be better
23:22 schestowitz-TR; that might still not be good enough
23:22 leah; but some people instead prefer to fixate on the past, and they allow themselves to be guided by their emotions
23:22 schestowitz-TR; last month someone asked me why I didn't step up to go for exec dir in fsf
23:23 leah; https://www.dictionary.com/misspelling?term=imperling

23:23 schestowitz-TR; another person wrote to tell me my work was as important as that of rms, which i found ldicxrous tbh
23:23 schestowitz-TR; but mind you, I'm in my 30s
23:23 schestowitz-TR; well...
23:23 schestowitz-TR; for another 37 mins
23:23 schestowitz-TR; then I turn four zero
23:23 schestowitz-TR; so in theory I can still do a lot of things for 30-40 more years

23:24 schestowitz-TR; not yet
23:24 schestowitz-TR; let me enjoy my 30s ;-)
23:24 leah; well, i turned 30 recently
23:25 leah; i know a few people who are researching life extension
23:25 leah; transhumanism stuff
23:25 schestowitz-TR; that's pointless
23:25 leah; oh?
23:25 schestowitz-TR; many reasons
23:25 schestowitz-TR; the key thing is brain function
23:25 schestowitz-TR; not the organs
23:25 schestowitz-TR; and we're far from repairing brain cells
23:25 leah; that same brain cries out in existential pain when the body stops working
23:26 schestowitz-TR; that's medicine and health
23:26 schestowitz-TR; we know how to make people healthier for longer
23:26 schestowitz-TR; all the transplant stuff included.
23:26 schestowitz-TR; anyway, you and I are young enough to see many evil people die
23:27 schestowitz-TR; George W Bush, Bill Gates, Kissinger
23:27 schestowitz-TR; Kissinger is a case of "any moment now"
23:27 schestowitz-TR; this year we had Colin Powell and otherws
23:28 schestowitz-TR; transhumanism is just a buzzword
23:28 schestowitz-TR; even the nanobot stuff has barely progressed
23:28 schestowitz-TR; like QC
23:28 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, And yet they won't even treat a sinus infection or high blood pressure.
23:28 schestowitz-TR; why do I still use 2-d mouse and keyboard?
23:28 schestowitz-TR; Where's my mask and glove?
23:28 DaemonFC; They want Medicaid and Medicare clients to go fuck themselves.
23:28 schestowitz-TR; Lots of the gimmicks were oversold in the 90s
23:29 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: in the US poverty kills
23:29 DaemonFC; But they bill insurance a fortune and then tell many of those patients that Mucinex, which they could have bought without going there, is the "recommended treatment".
23:29 schestowitz-TR; being poor is a death sentence
23:29 leah; i think i'll wait to see what the fsf does about technoethical before sharing the rest of those logs
23:30 leah; i'm giving them one last chance. but if they won't budge, i will be forcing the issue
23:30 schestowitz-TR; I think I will do a video soon about the FSF announcement
23:30 schestowitz-TR; they finally take the threat seriously
23:30 schestowitz-TR; what threat?
23:30 leah; oh, yeah
23:30 leah; link that again
23:30 schestowitz-TR; to themselves
23:30 leah; i want to read it
23:30 schestowitz-TR; not just to softwaare freedom
23:30 DaemonFC; I remember someone stole my doctor's prescription pad one time.
23:30 schestowitz-TR; thankfully I never let that happen to us
23:30 schestowitz-TR; some people tried and had a go at it
23:31 DaemonFC; I said it was stupid to take the entire pad. Why didn't they just take a few sheets if they were going to do that?
23:31 schestowitz-TR; Linus messed up by letting the frauds control him
23:31 schestowitz-TR; he wanted comfort and focus
23:31 leah; nevermind, i scrolled back
23:31 schestowitz-TR; so he outsourced or delegrates too much to a bunch of frauds

23:32 schestowitz-TR; almost every point is a response to a threat they identifies
23:32 schestowitz-TR; like bkuhn using his dseat to promote his SFC
23:32 schestowitz-TR; too much skullduggery
23:32 schestowitz-TR; until they cleaned up the board
23:32 schestowitz-TR; I checked their board 2 nights ago
23:32 schestowitz-TR; same as months ago
23:32 schestowitz-TR; it's stable again

23:33 schestowitz-TR; Techrights inner circle is like a family
23:33 schestowitz-TR; exchanging xmas cards and stuff
23:33 schestowitz-TR; long history and trust
23:34 schestowitz-TR; no corporates
23:34 schestowitz-TR; no people entered in the name of "diversity" alone
23:34 schestowitz-TR; but merit
23:34 schestowitz-TR; LF is all nfiltrated
23:34 schestowitz-TR; it's a living farce
23:34 schestowitz-TR; FB and Microsoft literally BUYING additional seats
23:34 schestowitz-TR; from people who never even used LInux!!
23:35 schestowitz-TR; FSF averted becoming the ***show LF is and has been for years
23:35 schestowitz-TR; so I applaud them for getting back on track as far as chasing away the heretis goes
23:35 schestowitz-TR; without naming anyone in particxular
23:35 schestowitz-TR; even the dake g.n.u. failed

23:41 leah; anyway
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:02:29 leah technoethical has been reported multiple times, since 2017, and as reecent as 1 month ago, they have been reported on r/libreboot, on trisquel forums, and elsewhere. people report that technoethical doesn't ship products
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:02:44 leah they just take your money and run. they literally just do not ship your product
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:02:46 leah /whois tct
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:02:52 leah he's in switzerland if you do that
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:03:13 leah it's not a vpn. it's a retail isp. he's living in switzerland probably living comfortable, scamming people
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:03:15 leah i have proof
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:03:25 leah https://www.reddit.com/r/libreboot/comments/ga5d6e/technoethical_not_delivering_and_not_replying/
23:41 TR Bot; Technoethical not delivering and not replying : libreboot
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:03:41 leah https://www.reddit.com/r/libreboot/comments/pqs0g0/technoethical_wont_send_product_that_i_paid_for/
23:41 TR Bot; Technoethical won't send product that I paid for and won't reply to email. : libreboot
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:04:06 leah and look them up on trisquel forums
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:04:35 craigt technoethical is on our radar of concerns.
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:04:50 leah it hasn't been made a big scectacle, because he tries to hide it. i've had people email me, telling me they had to take him to court to get their money back
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:04:52 craigt It doesn't look good, and that is a fair assessment.
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:05:35 leah when someone does complain publicly, the post gets edited sometimes, to say "2 weeks later, they delivered" or something. but that's because technoethical probably monitors those places, and then does damage control
23:41 leah; 2021-10-18 20:05:52 leah that's intentional fraud
23:42 leah; 2021-10-18 20:04:35 craigt technoethical is on our radar of concerns.
23:42 schestowitz-TR; good
23:42 leah; 2021-10-18 20:04:35 craigt technoethical is on our radar of concerns.
23:42 schestowitz-TR; how can they monitor it though?
23:42 leah; 2021-10-18 20:11:40 craigt What you are describing is of major concern, but we are dealing with those businesses separate from your situation.
23:42 schestowitz-TR; unless they have a list of every buyer..
23:43 leah; 2021-10-28 19:35:25 craigt This is a challenging conversation for me, but as you predicted, we are not going to restore your use of the ryf certification. Please don't shoot the messenger.
23:43 leah; 2021-10-28 19:36:17 craigt We put a great deal of thought into your case, at least I know I did.
23:43 leah; 2021-10-28 19:37:11 leah thought so
23:43 leah; 2021-10-28 19:37:16 leah nevermind
23:43 leah; 2021-10-28 19:37:28 craigt Your assessment of the other vendors is unfortunately accurate, and I am taking steps to address them as well.
23:43 leah; 2021-10-28 19:37:39 leah so
23:43 leah; 2021-10-28 19:37:49 leah the fsf is deciding to not endorse any libreboot sellers at all at this time
23:43 leah; 2021-10-28 19:37:57 leah presumably it will de-list the other vendors
23:43 leah; 2021-10-28 19:38:38 leah i said i was expecting a no by the way. i'm not mad. i am curious however
23:43 leah; 2021-10-28 19:38:55 craigt de-listing is a likely outcome, but I need to do my due diligence.
23:44 leah; >Your assessment of the other vendors is unfortunately accurate
23:44 schestowitz-TR; so they do respond
23:44 schestowitz-TR; and they check
23:44 schestowitz-TR; seems sincere
23:44 schestowitz-TR; and diplomatic enough
23:45 schestowitz-TR; they don't want to be in the middle of this scandal
23:45 schestowitz-TR; and likely communicate privately with the accused
23:45 schestowitz-TR; you said you are insensitive to some cues and nuance
23:45 schestowitz-TR; what craig does seems apt to me
23:46 leah; 2021-10-28 19:40:51 craigt for me, I mentally itemized your past actions of "being a bastard" <---your words, and I simply was concerned it could happen again.
23:46 leah; 2021-10-28 19:44:02 leah i guess the fsf didn't approve of my actions in regards to rms either
23:46 leah; 2021-10-28 19:44:20 craigt I was going to ask if you would be willing to make that list, but wasn't sure if it would be productive.
23:46 leah; 2021-10-28 19:44:49 leah what would be the purpose of me telling you all the things i think i've done?
23:46 leah; 2021-10-28 19:45:05 craigt Between your actions in regard to rms and the current state of the ryf program were important considerations.
23:46 DaemonFC; -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- blog.mozilla.org | Pocket & Texas Monthly Take You Inside The World of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders With New Partnership
23:46 leah; 2021-10-28 19:45:45 craigt I think just to hear it from you versus other people's stories.
23:46 leah; 2021-10-28 19:45:59 leah i'll tell you know, if you'd like
23:46 DaemonFC; SHOW US YOUR TITS!
23:46 leah; 2021-10-28 19:46:26 leah my thoughts, and what i think wenn through everyone's minds during the discussion
23:46 leah; 2021-10-28 19:46:51 craigt I don't think I need to hear them, but thank you.
23:46 schestowitz-TR; purism if a can of worms for similar reasons
23:46 schestowitz-TR; *is
23:46 leah; schestowitz-TR: fsf should grow a fair and de-list technoethical
23:46 schestowitz-TR; you cannot say that, DaemonFC
23:46 leah; anyway, these are snippets from my logs. i included bits of the conversation around them for contact
23:46 schestowitz-TR; "bad actgor"
23:47 DaemonFC; LOL
23:47 schestowitz-TR; they have an extension for this
23:47 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: from fake "woke" to broke soon
23:47 schestowitz-TR; begging Gulag for money
23:47 DaemonFC; My cat is snoring again.
23:47 schestowitz-TR; while Gulag says, "well, not many users left here"
23:48 DaemonFC; She's using that hammock in the cat tree now that I took the sofa bed.
23:48 DaemonFC; They chased all the users away to Brave.
23:48 schestowitz-TR; noit jsut brave
23:48 schestowitz-TR; I use librewolf now
23:48 DaemonFC; While Firefox has lost over 20% of its users, YoY, Brave has more than doubled.

23:49 schestowitz-TR; good
23:49 schestowitz-TR; he's very helpful
23:49 leah; not really
23:49 schestowitz-TR; no scandal here, afaict
23:49 leah; it's "i will look into it"
23:50 schestowitz-TR; yes, and he does
23:50 schestowitz-TR; and you said the gift guide no longer mentions them
23:50 schestowitz-TR; a first step
23:50 leah; yeah
23:50 schestowitz-TR; anyway, about fsf...
23:50 leah; but they're too slow
23:50 leah; this is what i don't like
23:50 schestowitz-TR; I'd rather focuas on the positive while they are "down'
23:50 leah; i told craig:
23:50 leah; grow some fucking balls
23:50 schestowitz-TR; not helpful
23:50 leah; there are things not included in that log
23:50 leah; or that paste rather
23:51 schestowitz-TR; bad language
23:51 leah; fsf knows about the problem, and has a solution
23:51 leah; they aren't applying the solution
23:51 schestowitz-TR; and with the whole trans thing that wording seems like a trap
23:51 leah; people have complained to them for years
23:51 leah; and the fsf buries its head in the sand
23:51 leah; it's not just this
23:51 leah; it's lots of issues
23:51 leah; stuff just gets buried. nobody ever willing to act on something unless forced to
23:51 leah; talking to them is like talking to your local member of parliament:
23:52 leah; you get the standard run-around tactic, where they say they will look into it
23:52 leah; and nothing happens
23:52 leah; and i can *so* smell that happening here
23:52 TR News; The #mozilla #firefox blog is not about Mozilla or Firefox anymore. It's like an empty vehicle, running on autopilot, hoping new users will be enticed by #spyware
23:53 schestowitz-TR; leah: but seems like they delisted them from gift ideas list
23:53 schestowitz-TR; sometimes you have to persist
23:53 leah; yeah they were listed last year
23:53 schestowitz-TR; and then something happens
23:53 leah; schestowitz-TR: they only didn't put technoethical on the list because they knew this conversation we're having now would start later
23:53 leah; fsf didn't want a scandal
23:53 schestowitz-TR; speaking of gifts, 7 more minutes
23:53 leah; they've known about technoethical's problems since 2018
23:54 schestowitz-TR; than the wife wakes up and unveils some things she bought
23:54 leah; a pair of socks
23:54 leah; and a box of chocolates
23:54 DaemonFC; When you get leadership that just checks a bunch of SJW boxes without any actual abilities, you get the mayor of Chicago.
23:55 leah; seems a bit random
23:55 DaemonFC; Black, check, licks pussy, check, says she wants to do a bunch of progressive things then hurts black people, the mentally ill, and the homeless more than Rahm managed, check and mate.
23:55 TR News; #PCMag -- or another #idg site -- is a #spamfarm or #webspam still pretending to be a news site (which is what it used to be; it's piggybacking some past reputation to con people who haven't kept up with changes)

23:56 leah; can you give examples of harm this person has caused
23:56 schestowitz-TR; techrights always looks past the superficial BS
23:56 schestowitz-TR; LF is 99% BS
23:56 DaemonFC; <leah> can you give examples of harm this person has caused
23:57 leah; schestowitz-TR: fsf is 99.9% bs
23:57 schestowitz-TR; naaa
23:57 leah; and 0.1% paying gnu maintainers a wage
23:57 DaemonFC; Half of all small businesses including about a third of the restaurants are boarded up.
23:57 DaemonFC; Rent goes higher and higher.
23:57 schestowitz-TR; US is f---she
23:57 schestowitz-TR; US is f---shed
23:57 DaemonFC; Record empty office space. Dead tourism industry. Public transit fare paying riders cut in half.
23:57 schestowitz-TR; too much debt racked up
23:57 schestowitz-TR; the s0o-called 'job creators
23:57 schestowitz-TR; who sucked up all the capital
23:58 schestowitz-TR; they will leave
23:58 schestowitz-TR; they already have many homes abroad; macao, canada, you name it...
23:58 leah; if i understand the apparatus of the american state well, i can conclude that your politicians have very little real power over the state of things. your laws and your power structures are such that business has more power over peoples lives than the politicians
23:58 schestowitz-TR; they won't stay around for street riots
23:58 leah; so a well-meaning politician gets elected and finds out how powerless they are
23:58 leah; and they get blamed by people like you, who want justice
23:58 leah; rents going up sounds like the fault of landlords
23:58 DaemonFC; It's really not.
23:59 DaemonFC; It bubbles up from high property taxes and over-regulation.
23:59 leah; what's this lovely lady's name?
23:59 leah; i'm curious to look her up
23:59 DaemonFC; Lori Lightfoot
23:59 DaemonFC; She said she may not run again.
23:59 leah; more like pussyfoot, by what you're describing
23:59 *leah looks up that name
23:59 DaemonFC; Even the people who elected her are sick of this.
