00:04 DaemonFC; It actually amused me to learn how long zombie debt can come back to bother you. In the 1980s my grandparents got into a bunch of credit card debt. Not everyone sued them before the statute was up, and I think most of it was on store cards, like Sears and JC Penney.
00:05 DaemonFC; I was amused to learn that as recently as 2008, people would still call asking to speak to my grandfather, who had been dead for 10 years, about his Sears card that charged off in 1988.

01:03 TR Bot; today's leftovers | Tux Machines
01:04 XRevan86; schestowitz: Also from this story I found out that there's a film about Putin from 1996.
01:04 psydroid2; Export bans prompt Russia to use Chinese x86 CPU replacement The Register <- this looks like a garbage chip compared to ARM and Loongson alternatives from China
01:04 XRevan86; And post-factum I figured that I've seen snippets from it floating around the web.
01:05 XRevan86; I was wondering, why the heck would there be a high-res interview with Putin where he's this young? Now I know, a documentary on FSB with him in the spotlight.
01:10 activelow; currently, best Putin buddy, former chancellor gazprom Schroeder, is cruzified in german media
01:11 activelow; which i consider an orchestrated media spectacle, distracting from the fact, gas deliveries continue as usual
01:11 activelow; it's psychological manipulation, and indoctrination of the masses
01:12 XRevan86; He's a cronie, why is bashing bad?
01:13 activelow; i wouldn't critizise him for the gazprom business involvement
01:13 XRevan86; I would.
01:14 activelow; somehow, this business didn't benefit me; it is his apparatschiks who enjoy luxury cars and wealth
01:14 activelow; thinking about it, the critique i had, is related to some certain social agendas (fake labor market and corrupt carels)
01:14 activelow; cartels
01:15 XRevan86; Even just getting a post in Gazprom is already a huge red flag hinting at his involvement in Gazprom's machinations / corruption.
01:16 activelow; i think, the "renewable energy" cash grabbing propaganda scam, is even worse
01:16 activelow; difference being, gazprom does deliver energy/gas... the renewable energy scam doesn't
01:16 activelow; and while energy prices explode, with the argument to safe the planet and social justice blah blah
01:17 activelow; in germany, we hit temperatures above 30degC in may, two month early summer season, and even during July such temperates are excessive
01:18 activelow; this "social agenda", bottom line, didn't sanction those who complied with labor market rules, it sanctioned those who i questioned certain aspects and fakes of it
01:19 activelow; same with the "renewable" scam... it's all fake, and EU and "green party", they too sanction those who support sustainable economy and lifestyle
01:19 activelow; and the cash grabbed from "carbon eco certificate" taxation scam is funneled into the pockets who emit excessively

01:20 activelow; soviet union collapsed, drowining in a mountain of lies and bullshit...
01:20 DaemonFC; For what I paid for the Buick plus all the repairs it needed to get it back on the road in proper working order, you could have about one week at Disney World.
01:21 DaemonFC; Even less if you also stay at one of their on-site resorts.
01:21 activelow; in recent weeks, prices in grocery stores increased, twice, in total +30%... almost everything... meat, milk, bread, noodles
01:21 activelow; it is an excessive price increase
01:21 XRevan86; activelow: I am far removed from the EU but even from here I can see that the EU considered gas "green".
01:22 XRevan86; The EU's sin is attempting to kill off nuclear power plants, getting dependent on gas in the process.
01:22 activelow; XRevan86: it is moot to discuss what is green and what isn't
01:22 DaemonFC; My Aunt would sometimes pay $7,000 or more plus plane tickets (call it $8,000 at this point) plus food and stuff, to go there, and stay at their resorts and walk around waiting on rides in lines.
01:22 XRevan86; activelow: Except it's kind of part of the scam.
01:22 XRevan86; Gas is.
01:22 DaemonFC; And that was over a decade ago.
01:23 activelow; "EU" is fake, this parliament there, it is a bunch of psycho sectarians, brain washing, it is all "communication strategy" ... whatever they say
01:23 DaemonFC; And that was for a one week trip. Sometimes they'd stay two weeks and pay $15,000.
01:23 DaemonFC; And then they'd come back home and the bank had blown up their answering machine threatening to take the house away.
01:23 *XRevan86 shrugs.
01:23 activelow; and political parties there, how should i explain, it is a battle-field of *national* interests... and certain ideology perpetuated there is merely industry politics to harm each other
01:24 activelow; this "renewable" scam, is one such utility, to benefit cash grabbers
01:24 DaemonFC; They like to say gas is less carbon intensive than some other things, like coal.
01:24 DaemonFC; But it really isn't.
01:25 DaemonFC; The process of drilling for an extracting gas also releases worse GHG agents into the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, like methane.

01:28 activelow; meanwhile, energy prices in Germany explode, italy and france weren't hit by this... why?
01:28 activelow; USA?
01:28 activelow; so, what is this?
01:29 XRevan86; activelow: Aid givers are those who are responsible for what happened in the Kyiv district?
01:29 activelow; XRevan86: you probably miss some context, maybe have a walk with me here in Germany, in some of the cities... and see who the benefitiaries are
01:29 activelow; corona at fault, putin at fault... now schroeder cruzified

01:30 XRevan86; activelow: How about a walk in Ukraine or Russia instead?
01:30 activelow; and in german politics, it is mostly foreign agents who act in the interest of other countries, not germany, or what remained of it
01:30 activelow; XRevan86: good question.
01:31 activelow; because, i do remember the times after 1990, as a child, mass unemployment, alcohol, and the type of buildings burned down in ukraine
01:31 XRevan86; My context is defined by this war, it colours everything for me.
01:32 XRevan86; This is a tragedy of a lifetime.
01:32 activelow; too reminds me of Yugoslavia, the economic collapse there, which happened, _before_ violence escalated
01:33 activelow; "EU" is WORSE than russia
01:33 XRevan86; Ukraine was doing all right economically. Mariupol was doing all right. It literally will never recover.
01:33 XRevan86; Ukraine will recover, Mariupol never will.
01:33 activelow; they are killing slowly, in silence
01:33 XRevan86; Literally never.
01:34 activelow; and then, replace the population, with immigrants
01:34 XRevan86; activelow: Oh, if ye're into that sort of thing, look at what's going on in the remote regions of Russia.
01:35 XRevan86; Those regions where most of the people that went to invade Ukraine are from incidentally.
01:35 activelow; and then, reloop, again, this served "climate change" and "social ecological justice"... XRevan86 just have a walk with me, in german cities
01:36 activelow; although, to comprehend this situation, this must be enjoyed for a decade
01:36 activelow; if there isn't anyone remaining anymore, who spoke your language, hostility
01:36 XRevan86; activelow: Russia was overflown with immigrants, until they said "fsck this shit, I'm out".
01:36 activelow; russia wasn't
01:37 activelow; and until 1990, east-german wasn't...
01:37 XRevan86; activelow: Ye're telling me.
01:37 MinceR; activelow must have been too young to see what terrorussia did to east/central europe before 1990
01:37 activelow; russian troops disappeared, military dismantled in east germany...
01:37 XRevan86; Would've been nice if activelow had a bit of perspective on Russia.
01:37 activelow; XRevan86: there isn't a single east-german CEO in any leading german company
01:37 activelow; not at least one
01:38 activelow; they wiped all former university staff, and placed their minions
01:38 MinceR; putler wants to take over all these countries again
01:38 activelow; _after_ russian soldiers disappeared from east-germany
01:38 MinceR; fortunately for us, he has no army with which to do it
01:38 activelow; MinceR: i am saying, EU or whatever this is, EU is WORSE than russia
01:38 XRevan86; It's not.
01:39 activelow; XRevan86: then let me ask, guess who benefits from this war?
01:39 XRevan86; activelow: Ye asked before and provided a shitty conspiracy.
01:39 MinceR; you're saying that, but you're wrong
01:40 activelow; well, then i must have missed some details, in the last 20 years
01:40 MinceR; indeed
01:40 XRevan86; The actors are well-known, I don't need any hidden puppeteers in my picture of the war.
01:40 MinceR; and especially before the last 30 years
01:41 XRevan86; Putin tried to benefit from the war, he failed.
01:41 XRevan86; Now he's doing his version of damage control and goes to the end.
01:42 XRevan86; His version is no damage control.
01:42 MinceR; :>
01:42 XRevan86; And because his regime is based on lies, he can't even properly assess how doomed the situation is.
01:42 activelow; Ukraine... stuffed their pockets with Dollars
01:42 activelow; to my knowledge, Russian and EU currencies aren't... dollar
01:43 XRevan86; The relation to currency this war has is approximately naught.
01:43 MinceR; afaik this war started because vladolf wanted it
01:43 MinceR; so even if ukraine were to benefit from it (which, afaik, they didn't), it would be hard to blame them for it
01:44 activelow; i can't grasp this, the propaganda bullshit, it was "Ukraine vs Russia"
01:44 DaemonFC; <activelow> and until 1990, east-german wasn't...
01:44 DaemonFC; Yeah, lots of people shot trying to get OUT.
01:44 DaemonFC; Not too many trying to get in.
01:44 XRevan86; MinceR: They do benefit from it in one respect: because the invasion went so badly, it's the best possible scenario of the invasion, and they're able to turn the tables on Putin.
01:45 DaemonFC; Looks like Communism solved the "immigrant" problem by making the country so shitty that tens of thousands died trying to get out of their own country.
01:45 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^
01:45 XRevan86; Whether that's better than just having peace and spending no lives is up for debate.

01:46 MinceR; 21 024419 < activelow> i can't grasp this, the propaganda bullshit, it was "Ukraine vs Russia"
01:46 XRevan86; tl;dr: Putin shot himself in the foot, and his bleeding foot benefits Ukraine.
01:46 activelow; or it was abandoned after 1990? or USA ever was any different or better than east-germany?
01:47 MinceR; yeah, it must be hard to grasp that russian forces moved into ukraine and killed people
01:47 DaemonFC; Yes, I like my murderers to be from a diverse school of totalitarian hellhole political thought.

19:04 activelow; screen-locker and screenshot functionality added
19:04 psydroid2; it looks like the whole free software environment is full of bugs
19:04 XRevan86; It looks like the whole software environment is full of bugs.
19:04 activelow; implement console mouse support for yaft, which doesn't need systemd/evdev to handle mouse events
19:04 activelow; ed
19:05 psydroid2; I don't care much about proprietary software
19:05 activelow; then, i could crunch down yaft binary size another 200KiB, removed asian unicode glyphs (no offense, these are easily added again)
19:05 *dimkr has quit (connection closed)
19:06 activelow; i mean, the entire desktop and terminal multiplexer binary size is less than 200KiB now... and for me this development setup is _better_ than x11/gnome/etc.
19:06 activelow; i think, baphometos got the most powerful and refined terminal console environment now, on the entire plant

19:09 XRevan86; Fake news, guys.
19:10 XRevan86; > For many years we believed that Orwell described totalitarianism. This is one of the global fakes. Orwell wrote about the end of liberalism. He wrote how liberalism would lead humanity into a dead end. He did not write about the USSR, he wrote about the society in which he lived, about the collapse of the idea of liberalism. And they imposed on you that he wrote about you. Therefore, say that
19:10 XRevan86; he wrote not about us, but about them. It is you who live abroad in a fantasy world where you can cancel a person.

19:20 DaemonFC; Well, in defense of George W. Bush, at the time he made his comments about Putin, Putin hadn't been in office very long and there was still sort of a constitutional system in place in Russia where I believe Putin actually did have to win an election.

19:26 DaemonFC; If banks were more strictly regulated like they were under Glass-Steagall, then there wouldn't have been all of this tossing around of mortgages that the banks knew were bad and didn't care because they sold them before the payments even started.
19:28 DaemonFC; If you do take a mortgage, it should always be fixed, not an ARM.
19:28 DaemonFC; Because that way they can sell your mortgage around, but the terms won't change.

19:31 DaemonFC; ARM is a lousy idea because you could sign a 5/1 and then be stuck with a mortgage that ends up costing hundreds of dollars a month more after the 5 years are up, and there's no guarantee what your income will be.
19:33 DaemonFC; The banks like them because it makes it look like you can afford more house than you really can.
19:33 DaemonFC; Then 5 years later they throw you out, take the house, sue you, and sell it to someone else (probably at higher real estate values) and set up the same trap for them.
19:33 DaemonFC; And it's still not illegal.
19:34 DaemonFC; Which is a risk on every mortgage. You can become unemployed and unable to pay anything.
19:34 DaemonFC; But the bigger danger is that ARMs expose you to that risk and the risk that even if you are still employed, you income won't go up that much.
19:34 DaemonFC; schestowitz, RobinHood and SoFI tried to sell me a mortgage, from an app.
19:34 DaemonFC; A mortgage from an app!
19:35 schestowitz_TR2; wait

21:35 MinceR; lol
21:36 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Wells Fargo got busted again. They were having fake job interviews for black people after they already knew they wouldn't hire them, so that they could claim that they were trying to hire some black people.
21:37 DaemonFC; I'm sure this goes on at a lot of places. Walmart had fake interviews when I worked there. They had to interview you but they already knew who they'd give the job to before they did it.
21:38 DaemonFC; Walmart gaslights their employees into thinking they have a job with a future, but the future is, at best, being stuck where you're at now and hoping that things don't get worse, for many people who work there.
21:38 DaemonFC; The managers have already decided who is going places, and who isn't.
21:38 DaemonFC; And once you are where you are, expect to stay put and get paltry raises that don't even amount to inflation adjustments.
21:40 DaemonFC; They like to claim that almost all of their managers were promoted from within the company, but there's less than a dozen or so salaried managers at most stores, and up to 500 or 600 people who work in the store if it's a big one.
21:40 DaemonFC; For most people they're going to be doing exactly what they are doing now unless they're a brown nose with an acceptable psychological profile, which the company already knows what that is.
21:41 DaemonFC; So the "Walmart Cheer" is actually worse than the direct humiliation of being paid minimum wage while embarrassing yourself in front of the customers.
21:42 DaemonFC; If you are still there in 20 years, it'll be stocking shelves assuming the robots haven't taken over.
21:43 DaemonFC; When they want rid of you, that's easy too. To avoid paying your unemployment, all they have to do is show that they followed their own company policy, which is technically the same for everyone, but they overlook transgressions until they figure out who they want to fire, and then they don't get overlooked anymore. In fact, sometimes they can suddenly become aware of things that happened months ago.
21:43 DaemonFC; And if they don't think they can build a good case to fire you, they start cutting your hours until you can't afford to work there anymore, and quit.

21:44 XRevan86; Beautiful.
21:44 DaemonFC; I survived a hit by the co-manager of the store.
21:45 DaemonFC; She decided she wanted rid of me and cut my hours from 40 to 16 per week.
21:46 DaemonFC; At that point I had nothing to lose, so I went over her head to the store manager and let loose and they gave me my hours back and forced the co-manager to pencil me in on the schedule until it was permanent again. So she went back and started trying to pencil me in for 6 hour shifts, and I said, "You know the store manager did say 8. I can go back and we can have another conversation if that'll help.".
21:46 DaemonFC; So she scribbled it out again and started writing 8s.
21:46 DaemonFC; I know it was a hit on me because nobody else lost a single hour.
21:47 DaemonFC; So fake job interviews are just one of the things you get used to at Walmart.
21:49 DaemonFC; I don't think companies mind hyperinflation so much.
21:50 DaemonFC; They were complaining that $15 an hour was becoming the minimum wage in many states.
21:50 DaemonFC; And now it doesn't buy much.

22:00 DaemonFC; LOL
22:01 DaemonFC; I feel ripped off when I have to go to Walmart once a decade or so and buy a pack of 6 for the $25 or so they're up to now.
22:01 DaemonFC; They use slave labor and foreign cotton, and then they have the nerve to sell them for over $33 a pair...

22:14 TR News; Over 18 million Brits did not get 2 COVID-19 jabs, but that's not the point. The more important point is, hardly anyone gets those shots anymore, in spite of the enormous pressure. Only about 6k shots a day, inc. (or mostly) "boosters" and placebos. Now they harp about Fire Pox!
22:15 TR News; COVID-19 harmed the public's expectation of proper, decent clinical trials prior to mass distribution. Never mind the fact they charged like HUNDRED TIMES the cost of production because of broken patent laws and hunchbacked politicians in the pockets of the cartel.
22:18 TR News; Take my mom for example. Already took 4 COVID-19 shots and got infected TWICE. Each time she contracts it she's bed-bound. Maybe it would be worse without those shots, but they clearly do not protect from infection. Or barely... here in the UK we still have lots of infections. Soon 200k deaths.
22:20 TR News; Today I discovered that more than SIX MONTHS later the government suddenly detected excess mortrality! Did the government "miss" deaths from last year and suddenly sees them? Of kids under five? https://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2022/05/21/2022-mortality-reports/

22:23 TR News; But the conclusion of it all is that governments do not value lives, they value businesses and oligarchs who bribe politicians. So look after yourself. Your government and its handlers do not care if you live or die (unless you're an employee of theirs, i.e. someone they can enslave for capital surplus)
22:24 TR News; UK gov: take off the mask/s, you're hurting the morale of fellow SHOPPERS and you're impeding our mass surveillance systems. In fact, stop acting like a "suspicious" person! There's a health risk only when we recognise and announce it.

23:50 TR News; With 10 days left in the month Techrights already served over 330k pages over gemini:// so far this month, so that's a pace of about half a million a month. Gemini is not a niche anymore. Many people use it. Many unique IPs, too.
23:54 TR News; Still, Gemini is nowhere as big as HTTP/S, no point (or any use) denying it. But it's growing fast. TuxMachines and Techrights average almost 10 hits per second, but a lot of today's Web is bots and other junk. Some of them are barely distinguishable and it makes running a Web site potentially expensive. Gemini has very low throughput and load overheads.
23:56 TR News; Software -- like the Web -- becomes very bloated over time. That not only demands that you buy a new computer/server/phone, it often means you have to outsource things (datacentres/clown computing etc.) because it intentionally does not scale/gets developers to cater self-hosted, personal use. Go back to basics: Gemini, IRC etc.
23:58 TR News; Gemini, if done properly, is difficult to censor. Those who are hurt by your words/leaks need to compel ICANN or your ISP to cut you off; the barrier/threshold to be met is very high (like, if you have unauthorised streaming operations, copyright-infringing IPTV as a broadcaster)
23:59 TR News; If enough people started self-hosting, and did so effectively, corrupt/bribed/bough politicians would try to pass new laws saying it helps "terrorism" or something....
