01:20 DaemonFC; Doing my couponing.
01:21 DaemonFC; I love how they raised the prices on everything and make you clip coupons to get the old price. And if you don't buy in bulk and shove it away, you get to pay them a lot more when they decide there's no coupons for a while.

01:37 starstreak; hey reptilian_thrills
01:38 reptilian_thrills; hey :)
01:40 starstreak; im watching the social network
01:42 reptilian_thrills; hehehe
01:43 reptilian_thrills; im watching the git radar
01:43 reptilian_thrills; so roys big strategy for github seems to be
01:43 reptilian_thrills; 1. github is dying (woo hoo, like everything else he doesnt like)
01:44 reptilian_thrills; 2. github is old projects, and new projects dont use it (this is an absurd exaggeration, but seems to be the crux of the strategy)
01:44 reptilian_thrills; 3, dont do anything (of course) because blogging is everything
01:45 reptilian_thrills; basically let free software die and wait for new projects to eventually somehow coalesce into a new free software solar system even if it takes 40 years.
01:45 reptilian_thrills; i mean, its a complete non-strategy for doing completely nothing
01:45 reptilian_thrills; but then in 40 years if it works, he will say "yes, we wrote many articles about this"
01:45 reptilian_thrills; "we knew github was wrong all along"
01:46 reptilian_thrills; github is old projects, dont worry about it
01:46 reptilian_thrills; i mean this isnt COMPLETELY accurate, im making fun of the absurdity of it
01:47 reptilian_thrills; after all this is techrights, where "we" fix all the problems with tech by saying theyre dying.
01:47 reptilian_thrills; ibm: really bad. but dying
01:47 reptilian_thrills; many layoffs, spending "losing" so much money
01:47 reptilian_thrills; github: dead real soon now
01:48 reptilian_thrills; google: just hasnt been able to get its shit together after mjg left (i mean mjg isnt this ridiculous)
01:48 starstreak; everything seems to be on github
01:48 starstreak; if i boycotted everything on github i may as well stop using computers
01:48 reptilian_thrills; <starstreak> everything seems to be on github <- only 80% of it (but things keep moving there, which roys theory doesnt account for very much)
01:49 reptilian_thrills; if i boycotted everything on github i may as well stop using computers <- what youre describing of course, is a monopoly.
01:49 reptilian_thrills; and while its true that boycotting a monopoly means that you wouldnt have anything to use...
01:49 reptilian_thrills; the whole point of free software was to fight monopoly and control of users
01:50 reptilian_thrills; the whole point of open source was to get free software to kiss and make up with its SOLE opponent (companies/devs that control users with software) and end the movement
01:50 reptilian_thrills; apparently. and its done that.
01:50 reptilian_thrills; so now everything is ibm and microsoft
01:51 reptilian_thrills; but EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A MONOPOLY-- thats ok! because theyre on their last legs now
01:51 reptilian_thrills; this total subversion of the fsf and gnu is just a desperate cry for help before ibm/microsoft finally falls over
01:51 reptilian_thrills; leading to a magical future of freedom for everyone
01:52 reptilian_thrills; because, of course, they spent lots of money and fired lots of works, which AS WE ALL KNOW is invariably a sign of impending DOOM for megacorporations
01:52 reptilian_thrills; i mean ibm has been the very mascot of layoffs for decades-- but NOW its going to kill them. really!
01:52 reptilian_thrills; because they laid off ONE TOO MANY workers this time.
01:53 reptilian_thrills; oops! sorry ibm, better luck in the next life
01:53 reptilian_thrills; ibm: its not our fault, we were just dying so much we had no choice ofc
01:54 reptilian_thrills; "really we have to lean on apple to bail us out constantly-- only roy knows this"
01:55 reptilian_thrills; to be fair, there is a website where former/current employees bitch about ibm all the time-- with good reason
01:55 reptilian_thrills; and thats good
01:55 reptilian_thrills; but again, ibm has been the king of layoffs since they laid of millions of workers with poison gas and turned that into profit
01:56 reptilian_thrills; and society seems to be (mostly) ok with that
01:56 reptilian_thrills; not that they should be. just that it hasnt really affected their bottom line
01:56 reptilian_thrills; no one says "well id be ok with ibm except for the whole holocaust thing"
01:58 reptilian_thrills; maybe some antifa can go punch ibm, idk
01:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 14.96 k/sec., IPFS upstream 145.15 average k/sec., average swarm size 132.66

01:59 starstreak; Roy can go beat up ICBM with his beefy muscles
01:59 reptilian_thrills; great idea
01:59 reptilian_thrills; could work
02:00 reptilian_thrills; techrights: we literally beat ibm into submission
02:04 DaemonFC; They changed the recipe for Smart Balance margarine.
02:04 DaemonFC; It's still $4.54 per tub, but 13 ounces instead of 16.
02:04 DaemonFC; And the new recipe doesn't even melt in the microwave.
02:04 reptilian_thrills; i wish people were more strategic about boycotts. it often doesnt have to be 100%, just enuogh to hurt them badly
02:04 reptilian_thrills; you know this place used to be called boycott novell?
02:05 DaemonFC; BoycottSmartBalance.github.io dot mjg59_
02:05 reptilian_thrills; but that whole strategy was from someone else, it was from bruce perens
02:05 reptilian_thrills; and perens doesnt want to fight github
02:05 DaemonFC; It not only doesn't melt in the microwave, it's transphobic!
02:05 reptilian_thrills; or ibm
02:05 DaemonFC; You look at this shit and there's no trans fats anywhere!
02:06 reptilian_thrills; actually, thats not entirely fair. he MAY support devuan, so thats fighting ibm.
02:06 reptilian_thrills; credit where credit is due.
02:06 reptilian_thrills; maybe boycott novell should have boycotted red hat too
02:06 DaemonFC; That's not just transphobic.
02:07 reptilian_thrills; but i supposed theres a difference between turning your back on mono because its a plot for microsoft to control free software
02:07 DaemonFC; They don't want the trans fats!
02:07 DaemonFC; That's discrimination against TWO groups, by my count!
02:07 reptilian_thrills; and turning your back on the init avalance because its a plot for ibm to control free software
02:07 reptilian_thrills; after all, ibm is on its last legs...
02:07 reptilian_thrills; plus, another key difference is, mono was a big thing back when the fsf gave a fuck about freedom
02:08 reptilian_thrills; they stopped caring before systemd took over debian in 2015/15
02:08 reptilian_thrills; 2014/15
02:08 reptilian_thrills; so bn was about doing something the fsf gave a shit about
02:08 reptilian_thrills; and if the fsf doesnt give a shit if free software is getting hosed, why should we?
02:09 reptilian_thrills; open source won!
02:09 reptilian_thrills; and the grand prize is microsoft has an 80% controlling interest
02:09 reptilian_thrills; yay
02:10 reptilian_thrills; so glad we found a way to prop up an evil megacorp with sweatshop labour-- AGAIN
02:10 reptilian_thrills; so you see, thats just not as important as mono.
02:10 reptilian_thrills; mono was literally the antichrist
02:10 reptilian_thrills; this is just a minor nuisance
02:13 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
02:17 DaemonFC; They watered down their margarine. The new stuff is a semi-liquid that you can't melt in the microwave, but people were saying if you crack the package, then it comes "oozing out".
02:17 DaemonFC; This is one reason I buy butter.
02:17 DaemonFC; There is a legal definition of butter.
02:17 DaemonFC; If you buy butter, it cannot legally fall outside of the definition of butter, or they can't sell it as butter anymore.
02:18 DaemonFC; There's no regulations about what "buttery spread" is. There might be some about "margarine" because I noticed very few brands say "margarine" on the package.
02:18 DaemonFC; So they can skirt labeling laws and cheat the customer easier.
02:19 DaemonFC; With the new formulation, they only use about 2/3rds as much vegetable oil.
02:19 DaemonFC; Since the product's main ingredient is not water, they have to list water as the first ingredient.
02:19 DaemonFC; So I started looking around and it seems all butter substitutes are doing this.
02:20 DaemonFC; I wonder if the stuff in a stick is different.
02:20 IPFS; () Planet Gemini updated.

02:21 DaemonFC; Maybe that's why WebMD and the Mayo Clinic say the stuff in the tub has less trans fat. I'm looking at stick vs tub margarine.
02:22 DaemonFC; And for the volume, you get cheated with water when you buy the tub stuff.
02:22 DaemonFC; And since there's no trans fat in water, that statement is technically true, because they're cheating you.
02:23 DaemonFC; Charging you a price where you expect a certain volume of vegetable oil (margarine) and replacing it with water, which doesn't cost them anything.
02:24 DaemonFC; Walmart lists "Kerrygold Irish Butter" which is like butter except you pay for a pound of butter and only get half a pound of butter. :)
02:25 *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@22agg6qj8dxhg.irc) has joined #techrights
02:25 DaemonFC; For some reason, restaurants and caterers use it, and I can't tell any difference between Great Value and Kerrygold.
02:26 DaemonFC; I started buying butter in two pound containers to try to save money in spite of hyperinflation.
02:27 DaemonFC; You save about 30 cents per pound that way vs. buying it one pound at a time.
02:27 DaemonFC; Just toss in the freezer.
02:27 reptilian_thrills; despite roy trying to paint me as a champion of permissive licensing in august 2020, all this copyleft-is-outdated-and-useless sentiment around the coup seems a lot like old (open source) wine in new (free software/coup) wineskins
02:28 reptilian_thrills; esr was basically like "ffs could we just make everything public domain? lol copyleft is stoopid" for years, AGES ago
02:29 reptilian_thrills; i want a scientific evaluation of copyleft. however, im pretty confident that such an approach would show tht copyleft is not useless.
02:29 DaemonFC; The thing that really pisses me off about butter, if I had to pick something, is how restaurants bring you dinner rolls and pats of butter, right? Then they take the butter pats directly out of the fridge and bring them to your table.
02:29 reptilian_thrills; im even doing research RIGHT NOW that can shed some light on this-- incidentally. its not a goal, its a result.
02:29 DaemonFC; Fucking Health Department.
02:29 reptilian_thrills; a possible result. the data isnt in yet.
02:29 DaemonFC; I keep a stick of butter on the counter and don't even track how long it's been on the counter.
02:30 DaemonFC; I'm still here.
02:30 DaemonFC; If I want to butter my toast with it in three weeks, that's what I do!
02:30 DaemonFC; How the hell can't they take the butter pats out of the fridge for a while given their expected customer volume?
02:30 DaemonFC; That's all I'm asking.
02:30 reptilian_thrills; im neither a copyright nor a copyleft maximalist-- the very existence of the lgpl proves theres a place for relaxing copyleft.
02:31 reptilian_thrills; it is a partial copyleft license.
02:31 DaemonFC; If it's still fine for me at home three weeks out of the fridge, it's not going to hurt anyone if it's been out an hour to soften.
02:31 reptilian_thrills; but the rhetoric of the present brigade seems to all be towards cutting copyleft off at the knees and consigning it to the dustbin of history while pretending to support it in some way
02:32 reptilian_thrills; which is absolutely fine btw, IF copyleft serves no purpose. but i dont think any honest argument can prove htat.
02:32 reptilian_thrills; its sheer opportunism
02:32 reptilian_thrills; and despite me saying this, roy will (most likely) continue to lump me in with these people im criticising
02:32 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], So we were at that party and they brought us Kerrygold Irish Butter of course, and it was fucking almost frozen, and everyone else was mangling their dinner rolls trying to mash it in. And I stood up and got a cup of hot water from the coffee/tea table and put the butter in the hot water.
02:32 DaemonFC; Then buttered my dinner rolls.
02:32 reptilian_thrills; because my operating system happens to have a particular license.
02:32 DaemonFC; I can't believe that out of a room with 100 people in it, I was the only one to think of this.
02:33 reptilian_thrills; even though my operating system is also the basis for an fsf-approved distribution for fucks sake.
02:33 reptilian_thrills; cheers, roy
02:34 reptilian_thrills; my primary concern about copyleft is the same as mincers
02:34 starstreak; reptilian_thrills, systemd is cool, its like having the master control program on my pc.
02:34 reptilian_thrills; <starstreak> reptilian_thrills, systemd is cool, its like having the master control program on my pc <- you are a legitimately funny person and you make me smile
02:35 starstreak; :)
02:35 reptilian_thrills; /me wouldnt care about systemd if it were optional like good software is
02:36 reptilian_thrills; but its designed not to be optional but to take over everything
02:36 starstreak; im waiting for systemd-waylandd
02:36 reptilian_thrills; and i said that before it (predictably) took over everything
02:36 reptilian_thrills; <starstreak> im waiting for systemd-waylandd <- me too
02:36 reptilian_thrills; the systemd takeover was a lot like the iraq war
02:37 reptilian_thrills; devuan said it would take 2 weeks
02:37 reptilian_thrills; most people said it wouldnt do any harm
02:37 reptilian_thrills; critics said it would create a power vacuum, destabilise the region and that we would be sucked into this bullshit for years.
02:37 reptilian_thrills; and for both the iraq invasion and systemd, the critics were spot-on
02:38 reptilian_thrills; and to this day most people arent bothered
02:38 reptilian_thrills; its a crime against humanity (so is the iraq invasion) but most people arent bothered by that either
02:39 reptilian_thrills; /me waits for dr sixel to find a way to darvo this
02:39 reptilian_thrills; hes against systemd too, but only because it isnt german

02:46 starstreak; i use hexchat and its on github
02:46 reptilian_thrills; but of course they put it on github, because THATS where you put free software
02:46 reptilian_thrills; i use hexchat and its on github <- its not an init
02:47 reptilian_thrills; it shouldnt be on github (nothing should) but its a bit less tragic.
02:47 reptilian_thrills; its also not part of gnu, which USED TO BE the flagship of the free software movement
02:47 reptilian_thrills; i dont know if its rusted, but theyll probably redo it in rust eventually

07:28 schestowitz[TR]; and accessibility
07:28 schestowitz[TR]; FSF talks about sw freedom aspects
07:28 schestowitz[TR]; they run proprioetary sw on your machine
07:28 schestowitz[TR]; via youyr browser
07:29 schestowitz[TR]; even if that rbowser is free software
07:29 schestowitz[TR]; it's like loading up proprietary "plugins" in it
07:29 schestowitz[TR]; FSF should say, use gemini
07:29 schestowitz[TR]; RMS saiiid they'd consider it
07:29 schestowitz[TR]; but of course today's FSF does not get much done
07:29 schestowitz[TR]; they also said they're make a better savannah
07:29 schestowitz[TR]; instead gnu.fools trafficked some projects to Zemlin and Sheela Microsoft (LF)
07:30 schestowitz[TR]; The frauds
07:30 DaemonFC; I take those freebies (after rebate) for a couple reasons. They end up paying me $1 or $2 to take it (discounts/credit card points) and it creates paid work for someone by bulking up my shopping trips.
07:30 DaemonFC; But it adds a lot of things that are pretty bizarre that I never would buy.
07:30 *horseface (~horseface@6mq2tv3iwewvy.irc) has joined #techrights
07:30 schestowitz[TR]; I realised yesterday very little data gets collected on what we buy
07:31 DaemonFC; Like $6 packs of sports drinks.
07:31 schestowitz[TR]; the bank statements are like a repeat of bills, mostly same prices too
07:31 schestowitz[TR]; insurance companies will certainly pay to know what goes into your body
07:31 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The 2008 Buick has about the right amount of technology.
07:31 schestowitz[TR]; so that they can DISCRIMINATE against you
07:32 DaemonFC; It doesn't have "touchscreens".
07:32 DaemonFC; And "Android".
07:32 schestowitz[TR]; so the "savings" you make with "loyalty" cards can become losses when insurance policy is handed over
07:32 DaemonFC; Yes, because they may buy your grocery bills and do risk-based pricing for health insurance or something.
07:33 DaemonFC; Right now, they just basically lump people into two groups.
07:33 schestowitz[TR]; there's "no free lunch"
07:33 DaemonFC; Smokers and Non-Smokers.
07:33 schestowitz[TR]; "dude, what's in your lunch???"
07:33 schestowitz[TR]; "what's in your fridge?"
07:33 schestowitz[TR]; Twitter even shows this
07:33 schestowitz[TR]; to users
07:33 schestowitz[TR]; they show, what your followers eat
07:34 schestowitz[TR]; Twitter is a spying machine
07:34 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Geico says I'm on the safer end of their risk pool.
07:34 DaemonFC; As far as how I drive.
07:34 schestowitz[TR]; why should they know?
07:34 DaemonFC; 115 is the highest score, I was rated as a 109.
07:34 schestowitz[TR]; you probably have some malware on a "phone" you drive with
07:34 DaemonFC; Yep.
07:34 schestowitz[TR]; and they force you to pay more to not have one
07:34 DaemonFC; They make you pay more to refuse it.
07:34 schestowitz[TR]; maybe they even fake the score
07:34 schestowitz[TR]; to stroke your ego
07:35 schestowitz[TR]; so that's another reason not to buyy a car anymore
07:35 DaemonFC; So basically if you refuse, it automatically assumes you're a really shitty driver and charges you like you got a bad score.
07:35 schestowitz[TR]; you get penalised for not having malware
07:35 schestowitz[TR]; here, energy costs more for not having a spymeter at home
07:35 schestowitz[TR]; but we need energy
07:35 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I figure several months of $30 electric bills now that I don't need the air conditioner anymore for a while.
07:36 DaemonFC; That helps.
07:36 schestowitz[TR]; malware is the new business model it seems
07:36 schestowitz[TR]; yesterday at the bank some idiotic teller asked me,
07:36 schestowitz[TR]; "what's your mobile nuumber?"
07:36 schestowitz[TR]; I said I don't have one
07:36 DaemonFC; I need to go by the laundromat to wash out that sleeping bag from last winter.
07:36 schestowitz[TR]; later she asks
07:36 schestowitz[TR]; "do you have the app?"
07:36 schestowitz[TR]; I already told her,
07:36 DaemonFC; It doesn't fit in my portable washer.
07:36 schestowitz[TR]; I do NOT have a "smart" phone (or mobile phone at all)
07:37 schestowitz[TR]; then she asks if I use "the site"
07:37 schestowitz[TR]; I said no
07:37 schestowitz[TR]; because she wanted to avoid printing one single sheet of paper
07:37 schestowitz[TR]; of course she did printing one at the end
07:37 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I use digital coupons a lot.
07:37 schestowitz[TR]; now they get stingy when it comes to an a4 sheet of paper
07:37 schestowitz[TR]; and some toner
07:37 schestowitz[TR]; the paper is useful as it can last decade
07:38 DaemonFC; Mom was laughing because she came over and saw a closet full of brand name top shelf laundry supplies, dish soaps, body washes, etc.
07:38 DaemonFC; Cat food.
07:38 DaemonFC; I buy a year or two's worth of this stuff at once with coupons then I don't need to worry about that again for a while.
07:38 schestowitz[TR]; brb
07:39 DaemonFC; iBotta tracked how many rebates I cashed out on in the past year.
07:39 reptilian_thrills; they also said they're make a better savannah <- instead gnu.fools trafficked some projects to Zemlin and Sheela Microsoft (LF) <- The frauds <- yep
07:39 DaemonFC; It was over $650 just buying stuff I needed anyway.
07:39 reptilian_thrills; however, i wont be shocked if they actually create a viable savannah alternatve
07:39 reptilian_thrills; because its not that fucking hard. savannah was sourceforge.
07:40 schestowitz[TR]; they started with gitlab
07:40 schestowitz[TR]; but it's no good
07:40 schestowitz[TR]; it's a sdoup of JS
07:40 reptilian_thrills; then matt lee (coup, fsf staff) pushed gitlab i think
07:40 schestowitz[TR]; and has "enterprise" (proprietary) edition
07:40 DaemonFC; Well, schestowitz[TR] I think the grocery stores like digital coupons for a number of reasons.
07:40 reptilian_thrills; yeah shitlab is awful
07:40 schestowitz[TR]; they should use and improve gitea/gogs
07:40 DaemonFC; One is it lets them advertise suuuuuper low prices.
07:40 schestowitz[TR]; but to improve it... github
07:40 reptilian_thrills; sure
07:40 reptilian_thrills; but they were talking about gitea
07:40 DaemonFC; Because the barrier "clicking on things" means less people actually get that price.
07:40 reptilian_thrills; and the person in charge of that seemed sincere enough
07:41 schestowitz[TR]; i heard they had considered gitlab as the base
07:41 reptilian_thrills; a move to gitlab would be tragic
07:41 reptilian_thrills; id rather use savannah
07:41 schestowitz[TR]; yes, they oppose JS garbage
07:41 reptilian_thrills; of course... theres a bigger problem
07:41 schestowitz[TR]; but iirc, years ago gitlab was not as JS-heavy
07:41 reptilian_thrills; in that gnu developers dont give a shit about freedom anymore
07:41 reptilian_thrills; no gitlab wasnt this bad always
07:41 schestowitz[TR]; i used to be able to browse gitlab repos
07:42 reptilian_thrills; but javascript is like prices-- they only increase
07:42 schestowitz[TR]; then, maybe 2 years ago, that stopped
07:42 reptilian_thrills; yeah
07:42 reptilian_thrills; when a project is on gitlab i dont even look at the repo
07:42 schestowitz[TR]; even more of github becomes inaccessible now
07:42 schestowitz[TR]; due to
07:42 schestowitz[TR]; 1) JS
07:42 reptilian_thrills; i just download the whole fucking tarball
07:42 reptilian_thrills; its easier
07:42 schestowitz[TR]; 2) browser not compatible
07:43 reptilian_thrills; yeah github already doesnt work if you dont run non-free js
07:43 reptilian_thrills; and the gnu devs (some) are bullshit about this
07:43 reptilian_thrills; like you cant get dates (maybe) or contributor names.
07:43 reptilian_thrills; it just sits and fucks
07:43 reptilian_thrills; more than just an unpleasant way to access it
07:43 reptilian_thrills; they put increasing amounts of (basic) information behind a wall of non-free js
07:44 reptilian_thrills; they do it on purpose
07:44 reptilian_thrills; and the gnu devs-- are bullshit
07:44 reptilian_thrills; 2029.

07:46 reptilian_thrills; dont let the other countless fucks off the hook
07:47 reptilian_thrills; right, a small handful will prove innocent. thats fine.
07:47 reptilian_thrills; do i ever blame ariadne? no.
07:48 reptilian_thrills; they froze the list it cant be edited
07:48 reptilian_thrills; people with a conscience will have to find another way.
07:49 reptilian_thrills; it wont save the fsf, it wont put rms back
07:49 schestowitz[TR]; she removed her sig
07:49 reptilian_thrills; right
07:49 reptilian_thrills; that set a good example
07:49 reptilian_thrills; so do i ever blame ariadne? no.
07:50 reptilian_thrills; i dont lump her in

07:50 reptilian_thrills; but i dont know who they are
07:50 reptilian_thrills; im sure i could find out but i almost dont care
07:51 reptilian_thrills; the problem is the people who did this and are still doing it
07:51 reptilian_thrills; theyre the worst ones
07:51 reptilian_thrills; sure, everybody did enough, but right now, the ones who perpetuate this are the worst ones

08:15 reptilian_thrills; but you can fix this!
08:15 DaemonFC; I thought about buying Krill Oil, but that's even more expensive and you don't get as much Omega 3 out of it, and there's a lot more concern about the environment.
08:15 reptilian_thrills; by making sure you eat the fish cheese burger next to the container that says
08:15 reptilian_thrills; Fish Cheese

08:16 DaemonFC; Right, schestowitz[TR]?

08:28 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I bought up some Starbucks coffee at the store.
08:28 DaemonFC; They had a stack of $2 rebates on them.
08:28 DaemonFC; So that's what I'll be drinking for a while.
08:28 schestowitz[TR]; what is a Starbucks coffee?
08:28 DaemonFC; Not my usual brand.
08:29 schestowitz[TR]; african beans served using mad-in-china glasswre with seattle logo?
08:29 DaemonFC; Oh, they sell the coffee at the grocery store.
08:29 schestowitz[TR]; sold for 100 times the cost of the labour?
08:29 DaemonFC; There's a McDonalds brand at the grocery store too.
08:29 reptilian_thrills; seattles best is a competing brand
08:29 reptilian_thrills; originally based on seattle, but not anymore i think
08:29 reptilian_thrills; sold for 100 times the cost of the labour? <- this is what marx was getting at
08:30 schestowitz[TR]; they grow coffefe beans in cold seattle?
08:30 reptilian_thrills; to profit from labour you have to steal from the workers
08:30 schestowitz[TR]; or make a blend there?
08:30 reptilian_thrills; mincer says its debunked, im not sure how
08:30 reptilian_thrills; they grow coffefe beans in cold seattle? <- i said the brand was based there, not the beans
08:30 schestowitz[TR]; maybe the word steal
08:30 schestowitz[TR]; dfid marx use that terminopoly?
08:31 schestowitz[TR]; I never read marx?
08:31 reptilian_thrills; probably?
08:31 schestowitz[TR]; not in english or german..
08:31 reptilian_thrills; marx is tedious to read
08:31 reptilian_thrills; lenin is more tolerable
08:31 schestowitz[TR]; larx spoke of surlusses
08:31 schestowitz[TR]; surpluses
08:31 reptilian_thrills; yep
08:31 reptilian_thrills; he said capitalism creates surplusses
08:31 reptilian_thrills; possibly that exploiting labour does. but then theyre the same thing
08:31 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, I will NOT pay $4 for a cup of coffee
08:32 schestowitz[TR]; the price gap is obscene
08:32 reptilian_thrills; you use pounds anyway
08:32 reptilian_thrills; how many pounds will you pay for coffee
08:32 schestowitz[TR]; there are "Football" shirts that sell for $50 and the factor tab is like 50 cents
08:32 schestowitz[TR]; *factory
08:32 schestowitz[TR]; they could payy 5$ or even 15$ and still make a profit
08:32 schestowitz[TR]; 5 US$
08:32 reptilian_thrills; yeah but profit is about what people will pay
08:33 reptilian_thrills; and inflation is a thing
08:33 reptilian_thrills; so why sell for $5 when you can sell for $50
08:33 DaemonFC; Doesn't Starbucks own Seattle's Best?
08:33 schestowitz[TR]; no, I meant pay the factories
08:33 schestowitz[TR]; charge $50
08:33 schestowitz[TR]; but pay $15 to the factory
08:33 DaemonFC; Seattle's Best isn't usually very good. But their Henry's Blend is okay.
08:33 reptilian_thrills; yep
08:34 reptilian_thrills; then the worker maybe gets 5 cents
08:34 DaemonFC; Kroger has Spotlight Coffee, which is a store brand.
08:34 DaemonFC; Usually good.
08:34 reptilian_thrills; and the materials are shockingly cheap
08:34 reptilian_thrills; its a scandal
08:34 schestowitz[TR]; they also pollute their own town
08:34 schestowitz[TR]; dyes and stuff
08:34 schestowitz[TR]; so they die younger
08:34 DaemonFC; Walmart has Great Value in various varieties. The Classic Roast isn't good, but the French Roast and Colombian are both pretty good.
08:35 schestowitz[TR]; "thank you for supporting capitalism, communist china and poor bangladesh"
08:35 DaemonFC; I bought a 48 ounce can of Classic Roast because it was $5 back in 2020.
08:35 DaemonFC; I could barely bring myself to finish it.
08:35 reptilian_thrills; thank gandhi
08:35 DaemonFC; There most certainly is a price/quality thing with coffee.
08:35 schestowitz[TR]; I have french roast at this very moment
08:35 reptilian_thrills; he supported partition
08:35 schestowitz[TR]; but not capitalised
08:36 schestowitz[TR]; it's just an aldi prodict
08:36 DaemonFC; You buy 48 ounces for $5 you get the floor sweepings or something.
08:36 reptilian_thrills; if you bend the l its an audi
08:36 DaemonFC; Starbucks is at $12.48 for 1.07 pounds now.
08:36 DaemonFC; That's an odd weight isn't it?
08:37 schestowitz[TR]; Starbucks does not make coffeee
08:37 schestowitz[TR]; and components in APple PCs are barewly Apple
08:37 schestowitz[TR]; they are brands
08:37 DaemonFC; Coffee prices are going crazy so I've been getting it where I can using coupons.
08:37 schestowitz[TR]; so you pay a lot just for that marketing
08:37 schestowitz[TR]; the "brand"
08:37 schestowitz[TR]; Starbucks, oh, wow!
08:38 DaemonFC; Walmart reviewers are idiots.
08:38 schestowitz[TR]; you must be a millionaire or a career climber from Bay Area
08:38 DaemonFC; They give a product 1 star and it's like, "DoorDash didn't deliver this on time!".
08:38 DaemonFC; Or my favorite, I was looking at why someone gave a Stouffer's Chicken Lasagna I was about to order 1 star.
08:39 DaemonFC; They said that this was the wrong type of birdseed and now the birds won't come to their bird feeder.

09:24 MinceR; 18 093033 < reptilian_thrills> mincer says its debunked, im not sure how
09:25 MinceR; marx claimed that the only thing the value of a good depends on is the labor put into creating it
09:25 MinceR; which fails to explain common things like reducing the price to get rid of unsellable product
09:25 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
09:25 *horseface (~horseface@y79u823uaz428.irc) has joined #techrights
09:26 MinceR; marx tried to get around this by claiming that this somehow makes the deducted amount conform to some sort of wasted work, which is laughable
09:26 MinceR; in reality, the value of goods is determined by their utility to the people who buy them (which is subjective)
09:31 reptilian_thrills; which fails to explain common things like reducing the price to get rid of unsellable product <- no, surpluses are part of his theory
09:32 reptilian_thrills; if you present it incomplete you can find that its incomplete, yes
09:32 reptilian_thrills; he talked about the value of sale separately from the value of labour
09:32 reptilian_thrills; youre conflating two things (he talked about both)
09:33 reptilian_thrills; in reality, the value of goods is determined by their utility to the people who buy them (which is subjective) <- again, he talks about this.
09:33 reptilian_thrills; its like if you explained to me that something is wrong because "actually the kernel is written in c"
09:34 reptilian_thrills; well i know that, you know that, everyone knows that
09:34 reptilian_thrills; its not a "gotcha"
09:34 reptilian_thrills; but you present it as something he didnt know or take into account
09:34 reptilian_thrills; youre debunking a straw marxism
09:34 reptilian_thrills; whether deliberately or otherwise
09:35 reptilian_thrills; as something he didnt know or take into accoun <- when in fact he talks about exactly that
09:35 reptilian_thrills; and at any rate, lenin definitely did
09:35 reptilian_thrills; and lenin was a marxist
09:35 reptilian_thrills; i mean there may be problems with marxism, even fundamental one
09:35 reptilian_thrills; this just isnt one of them.
09:37 MinceR; > no, surpluses are part of his theory
09:37 MinceR; yes, but only in a way that doesn't make sense
09:38 MinceR; 18 103433 < reptilian_thrills> youre debunking a straw marxism
09:38 MinceR; no, i'm debunking the marxism i've read about on wikipedia and in capital
09:39 MinceR; capital was mainly marx reiterating the labor theory of value over and over, with a little bit of his useless misconception of what a commodity is sprinkled in
09:39 MinceR; then i got tired of the crap and stopped

22:32 TR Bot; Woman charged with firing shots in parking lot of gas station in Waukegan
22:32 DaemonFC; "Diamond A. Martell, 21, of Waukegan, was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm, driving on a revoked license, expired registration, illegal transportation of alcohol, operating an uninsured motor vehicle and illegal display plate attachment."
22:32 DaemonFC; There's not a one of them yet that can't avoid calling attention to the four dozen offenses they're committing at once.
22:33 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I thought a cop was following me earlier. So I drove real friendly, you know.
22:33 DaemonFC; I made several turns on purpose to see if he followed me and he did and eventually 6 miles later, he gave up and left.
22:34 DaemonFC; "illegal transportation of alcohol"
22:34 DaemonFC; Ahhh, the good old open bottle law.
22:34 DaemonFC; They get a lot of DUIs with another offense with that one.
22:35 DaemonFC; You're not only drunk, you have an open container.
22:35 DaemonFC; Of course, they can get you for the open container even if you're not drunk.
22:37 DaemonFC; The idea of all these laws is "everyone is a criminal if we follow them around long enough".
22:37 DaemonFC; And "If they do something that gets our attention, there's a dozen more charges coming.".
22:38 DaemonFC; "Martell made admissions to the police and told them she got the gun a month prior for safety reasons, DeRosa said."
22:38 DaemonFC; LOL
22:39 DaemonFC; She wasn't even shooting anyone with it. She fired it into the air and started a police investigation. So obviously it did not keep her safe from them.
22:40 DaemonFC; "The woman does not have a Firearm Owners Identification Card or a concealed carry license; however, only filed a misdemeanor charge for the possession of the gun was filed.
22:40 DaemonFC; When asked by the judge why only the misdemeanor was filed, DeRosa said the states attorneys office approved felony charges for the gun possession.
22:40 DaemonFC; As of Tuesday, court records show the aggravated unlawful use of a weapon charges have not been filed.
22:40 DaemonFC; Lake County Judge Theodore Potkonjak noted during the bond hearing that Martell has a pending drug case in Ohio."
22:40 DaemonFC; They aren't going after her with a felony because the prosecutor is a Democrat and she's a Mexican.
22:40 DaemonFC; If she was a white man her ass would be grass, and the prosecutor would be the lawnmower.
22:41 DaemonFC; Of course, Ohio will probably demand extradition and they will hit her with a felony and we won't hear about her for a while.

22:52 techuser; so yes, again
22:53 DaemonFC; If that doesn't work, they'll spend the two weeks after the election stuffing the ballot boxes for Pritzker and then "finalize" the result and call it "mail in voting".

23:00 DaemonFC; I commented on Facebook: "Seconded on the "Quit attacking and just lay out a five point plan or something.". Even the people living in Chicago (like I did for several years, getting mugged a couple times along the way) know what a stinking hellhole it is. It makes Waukegan look like the Emerald City.
23:00 DaemonFC; I was a lifelong Democrat until a few years of living in Illinois. They've gone completely off the rails with these "crime bills" especially and they can have my vote again if they ever start making sense. I've already voted for Bailey, and then the Lake County Clerk "election judges" tried to throw out my vote for "signature mismatch" and I had to march down and correct it in person anyway.
23:00 DaemonFC; If Bailey doesn't win it'll be because they challenged all the ballots for "signatures" for him and count on people not all showing up to fix it, and then they have two whole weeks of stuffing the boxes with fake ballots for Pritzker and calling them "late arrivals"."
