00:01 TR News; Upon closer look (just moments ago), it looks like maybe it just blanked Freenode while adding Libera instead, at the very top. A 'dick move'. What's wrong about this is the lack of consent. Maybe they're so sure they protect users? But there is not the way...

06:33 DaemonFC; Having kids is like "Oh, bump down my economic status a few notches each? Don't mind if I do!".
06:33 DaemonFC; Then you need more money, then as you earn more money the government takes more money and you need more money.
06:33 DaemonFC; Then the government can pretty much come in your house whenever it damned well pleases because it's for the kids.
06:34 DaemonFC; Then they can take your kids and make up some reason, because it's the government.
06:34 DaemonFC; But no matter what happens, they'll "educate" the children and turn your kids into mindless obedient zombies.
06:34 DaemonFC; It's just not worth it.
06:34 DaemonFC; Carrying the fucking weight of the world.
06:34 DaemonFC; That's literally what people are doing, and they don't even seem to notice, or mind.
06:37 DaemonFC; Think of all the wasted effort, all the wasted time, that led my family to a dead end.
06:37 DaemonFC; It's not just me. Like I said, nobody in my family is having kids if they're my age.
06:37 DaemonFC; They're all like 40 or damned close, no kids.
06:38 DaemonFC; It's the rational choice given what's been dumped on us. Hyperinflation, low wage jobs.
06:38 DaemonFC; You can barely earn in an hour what it costs to get to work and back.
06:58 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR, One giant corporate cesspit.
06:58 DaemonFC; Is it even any wonder the government wants to pay for poor people to be on the Internet now?

06:59 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR, So, like, here's something.
06:59 DaemonFC; I keep getting spam to become a member of the Chicago Botanic Garden.
06:59 DaemonFC; It's the only way to use it now, is pay them like $140 a year for unlimited admissions and free parking.
07:00 DaemonFC; Because they decided that instead of just making you pay for it with taxes, and just letting billionaires and corporations tastelessly sponsor it, they charge admission and a car park fee.
07:02 DaemonFC; One of Richard Stallman's rules for appearances is if there are corporate sponsors, he may agree to mention them in passing with a thank you, but he doesn't want it turning into something where they're hanging their banners around everywhere and opening up vendor booths and stuff.
07:03 DaemonFC; It's just absolutely revolting that a county with over 6 million people and an economy the size of Switzerland's that has never charged money to see the garden before has started doing this.
07:04 DaemonFC; I think they scraped my email because I printed off free tickets last year before they went pay only and we spent the day down there so we could say we saw it before they took it away.
07:12 TR News; I think this is a scam email, but I'm not sure how it works gemini://gemini.conman.org/boston/2022/06/18.1
07:14 schestowitz_TR; DaemonFC: now sure how the gardens are funded currently
07:14 schestowitz_TR; sometimes they doubt-dip
07:14 schestowitz_TR; so be careful
07:14 schestowitz_TR; one example: phoronix asking for money from readers while shipping ads and selling their data and taking huge gifts from companies
07:14 schestowitz_TR; to impact his editorial priorities
07:15 schestowitz_TR; another example: NPR, the "listener" supported Gates PR
07:15 schestowitz_TR; gates does not even liten
07:15 schestowitz_TR; he just "sponsors" (bribes

09:22 matey; www.jns.org/bds-doctors-who-prescribe-a-poison-pill-for-israel-violate-the-hippocratic-oath/
09:22 matey; Seventy-one British doctors are the most recent group calling for a boycott of Israel. Last week, they signed a letter to the World Medical Association (WMA) requesting the expulsion of the Israeli Medical Association, alleging that Israeli doctors carry out "medical torture" on Palestinian patients.
09:22 matey; so basically, some bds people are saying that "Israeli doctors carry out "medical torture" on Palestinian patients."
09:22 matey; but this source is against bds, i believe
09:23 matey; so theyre either disputing that there is such practice
09:23 matey; or defending it

16:32 TR News; Yesterday at Argos there was nobody at the till. I asked to pay with cash. Then the lady goes, "OK, come with me, what's your name?" ... and I have to remind her I pay with cash and do not need to give my name. Warranty? That's what physical receipts were always for. We need to PROTECT THESE RIGHTS (or we might collectively lose them). What did I buy? None of your business. ;-) ;-)

19:44 DaemonFC; They changed the forecast again. Now it's supposed to be over 100 on Tuesday even before the heat index.
19:44 DaemonFC; This is not normal for June.
19:45 DaemonFC; I remember in 2012 when a heat wave settled on Indiana that went on for like 22 days in a row where it did not drop under 100.
19:45 DaemonFC; Then it didn't rain for months and the reservoirs in that county turned into creeks.
19:45 DaemonFC; Then all of the corn failed.
19:46 DaemonFC; And instead of going "Hey wait a minute, this never used to happen.", they said "Let's pray real hard for the rain to come back and get Monsanto drought guard corn next time!".
19:46 DaemonFC; Fucked.
19:47 DaemonFC; "We have to pray that the invisible sky god who won't reveal itself to anyone because he's testing us will end gay marriage so that the rain will come back."

19:48 DaemonFC; Imagine him reading that line and that was me in Indiana.
19:49 DaemonFC; About all the place is good for is growing corn.
19:49 DaemonFC; If it can't do that anymore, then it's of no use to anyone really.
19:50 DaemonFC; Oh, and the Chinese are sending "jobs" there that pay minimum wage that deal in hazardous chemicals. That's how you know your country is finished.
19:50 DaemonFC; When the Chinese send jobs there that THEY don't want.

20:52 DaemonFC; Sometimes I go to the touchless bay and save some money by bringing a bucket full of my own soapy water, and a sponge.
20:53 DaemonFC; That was you only have to put like $1.50 or so in to use the pressure washer to rinse it all back out.

22:22 DaemonFC; The countries and wealthy individuals started dumping their Treasury Bonds and now the government offers them more interest as a way to get them to stop doing that.

22:31 schestowitz_TR; NordVPN are dodgy
22:31 schestowitz_TR; they do spam 'articles'
22:31 schestowitz_TR; to promote themselves
22:31 DaemonFC; If you cancel it in Google Play, they don't know what your credit card number is.
22:31 schestowitz_TR; and use imagary to borrow other countries' image

22:32 schestowitz_TR; DaemonFC: you oughtn't buy anything with apps
22:32 schestowitz_TR; and those VPN companies are dodgy
22:32 schestowitz_TR; most of them
22:32 DaemonFC; What about Mozilla VPN?
22:32 schestowitz_TR; <techrights-news> Yesterday at Argos there was nobody at the till. I asked to pay with cash. Then the lady goes, "OK, come with me, what's your name?" ... and I have to remind her I pay with cash and do not need to give my name. Warranty? That's what physical receipts were always for. We need to PROTECT THESE RIGHTS (or we might collectively lose them). What did I buy? None of your business. ;-) ;-)
22:32 DaemonFC; Do they log your torrenting?
22:32 DaemonFC; It goes through Mullvad, I know.
22:32 schestowitz_TR; moxilla is s dodgy
22:33 schestowitz_TR; they just rebrand other vpn companies' stuff
22:33 DaemonFC; https://www.reddit.com/r/VPNTorrents/comments/q4izfp/is_mozilla_vpn_blocking_trackers_and_torrents/
22:33 TR Bot; Is Mozilla VPN blocking trackers and torrents ? : VPNTorrents
22:33 DaemonFC; "It's also cheaper to just skip the middleman (Mozilla) and just use Mullvad directly. The monthly cost for Mozilla VPN is $10, but using Mullavd directly only costs $5, plus as mentioned above you get port forwarding, not to mention better anonymity since it doesn't tie your account to an email address and Mullvad doesn't log."
22:34 DaemonFC; So all Mozilla does is resell it at double the price, and you still don't know if you're any better off than with a NordVPN?
22:38 schestowitz_TR; if you eant the vpn for privacy you might be better off without fireffox at all

22:56 schestowitz_TR; DaemonFC: yes, it's an HR trick

22:57 schestowitz_TR; Fox News is not news

23:01 schestowitz_TR; of course they need to cash in, REAL money

23:04 DaemonFC; The modern Web is a shithole of centralization, and it benefits corporations and governments.
23:04 DaemonFC; So they finally want everyone to have access to it now.
23:04 DaemonFC; They didn't want poor people to flock in back when it was a free for all and you could just take whatever you wanted.

23:05 DaemonFC; ISPs that disconnect you based on bogus complaints.
23:05 DaemonFC; Now that they have the control they wanted, it's just a sewer where they can monitor everything, censor what they want, and pump propaganda through the pipes.

Deen cookware, Juneteenth ice cream, and more cares about forced monkey labor. I was beginning to think they had no scruples at all.

23:58 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR, There's really no way you can get those huge rebates on Upside if it's going to do this. By the time you claim it, it says you have to pay with that card within 20 minutes to get the rebate.
23:58 DaemonFC; So if you claim it before you leave the house, the 20 minute timer will probably be up before you can get to the gas station and tap your credit card.
23:59 DaemonFC; So I'm going to try an experiment with my Fake GPS app.
23:59 DaemonFC; I'm going to pull up to the gas pump at BP, and then set a fake location over by the lake or something.
23:59 DaemonFC; When it tells me the rebate is 12 cents a gallon, I'm going to claim it, then I'll immediately turn off the fake GPS and instantly teleport to the gas pump, check in, and tap my card.
