02:44 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Apps helped Walmart back away from low prices.
02:45 DaemonFC; They used to have a price match policy that you could use on anything in the store, you just had to show a competitor's ad for the same product that was in the same market.
02:45 DaemonFC; They defined "same market" pretty loosely, so as long as your town was part of the local newspaper's circulation, it qualified.
02:46 DaemonFC; So you could use ads for Meijer in Fort Wayne, Indiana even though it was 30 miled or so from Huntington.
02:46 DaemonFC; Then Walmart said they were making it more efficient with a "Savings Catcher" app that would just look at what you bought in the store and automatically compare ads in your market for you and refund the difference as a Walmart gift card.
02:47 DaemonFC; Then they got rid of the app once they broke customers of the habit of asking for discounts from the cashiers and got rid of most of the cashiers.
02:47 DaemonFC; Now all you get are monthly 9% hikes on cat food.
02:54 DaemonFC; I might go see what Aldi is doing in the way of cat food at this rate.

03:23 DaemonFC; The only reason they didn't shoot him was it was in open court in front of too many witnesses.
03:23 DaemonFC; He still might get murdered in jail.
03:24 DaemonFC; I mean "found dead for no reason". Happens a lot in Lake County, I noticed.
03:24 DaemonFC; About every two or three months, they find someone dead "for no reason".
03:24 DaemonFC; I mean, that's kind of too often to be happening for natural causes, I think.
03:25 DaemonFC; People in their 20s and 30s, every couple months?
03:25 DaemonFC; Come on!

03:42 DaemonFC; Well, the whole reason we're not pushing it with the Turks is that if we do then it could spill over into them giving the Russian military more access through their territorial waters.
03:43 DaemonFC; As far as military value to NATO, Finland and Sweden would be preferable to Turkey.
03:43 DaemonFC; They'd also be a better fit for the organization. Not working to sabotage its goals.

07:43 schestowitz[TR]; BLM is a symptom
07:43 schestowitz[TR]; of societal rot
07:43 schestowitz[TR]; cops don't trust black people
07:43 schestowitz[TR]; they don't trust thje cops either
07:43 schestowitz[TR]; and the media divides peoplke along racial lines

07:45 DaemonFC; Nobody trusts black people, for fear of being jumped, mugged, raped, etc.
07:45 DaemonFC; It's why more Americans are carrying guns and Illinois is number 1 for gun background checks for three years in a row.
07:46 DaemonFC; But you can't officially or publicly say that.
07:46 schestowitz[TR]; you can
07:47 schestowitz[TR]; but there wold be social and political consequences
07:47 schestowitz[TR]; you have first amndement
07:47 schestowitz[TR]; but it does not protectt from backlash
07:47 DaemonFC; If you say anything about it, you lose your job.
07:47 DaemonFC; So everyone just shuts up and pretends they don't see it.
07:47 DaemonFC; And like they're really angry if anyone else says it.
07:48 DaemonFC; It's like the ultimate gaslight.
07:48 DaemonFC; You just make it so that if anyone says anything about all of the arson, looting, carjacking, rape, drugs, they're racist.
07:48 DaemonFC; Then they lose their job and can't eat. Haha.
07:49 DaemonFC; And that's what makes people like Matt GULAG truly irredeemable.
07:49 DaemonFC; If you had an entire country with the crime stats of White people, the amount of violent and sex and drug crime would be cut in half overnight.
07:49 DaemonFC; And it's like 13% of the population committing half the crime in the country.
07:50 DaemonFC; It doesn't take much for an entire country to go bad.
07:50 DaemonFC; You'd still have quite a lot for the cops to do, but it wouldn't be country falling down, run for your life type shit.
07:51 DaemonFC; Point to the FBI statistics. The FBI keeps statistics.
07:51 DaemonFC; They even break them down by ZIP code.
07:51 DaemonFC; So I mean, you can look into Chicago and there's like 18 places you can look at crime stats. Something like that.
07:51 DaemonFC; That's how granular the data is.
07:52 DaemonFC; So even within Chicago, you can see that over two thirds of the crime happens in less than 25% of the area of the city.
07:52 DaemonFC; The rest is predictably where the L picks them up at and dumps them out.
07:52 DaemonFC; It's like an auger.
07:53 DaemonFC; John mentioned that all the shit was always happening near the red line. I said, "Yeah, it's like when you're trying to drill a clog out of your toilet with an auger and all the shit breaks loose and floats back up into the bowl.
07:53 DaemonFC; So we started calling the Red Line "The Auger".
07:56 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], GULAG just camps out with all of the rich people.
07:56 DaemonFC; In a city that priced all the Black people out.
07:57 DaemonFC; Except maybe like 2-3 that defied all of the odds and are just about tolerated because they have money and a college degree.

08:20 schestowitz[TR]; minorities like women

08:21 schestowitz[TR]; the west has lots of propaganda and euphemism for its censorship
08:21 schestowitz[TR]; it';s well -meaning

08:21 schestowitz[TR]; gulagboy does this censorship asll the time

08:22 schestowitz[TR]; weight loss by shaming can work
08:22 schestowitz[TR]; otherwise you normalise obesity
08:22 schestowitz[TR]; now there are terms like "fat-shaming"

08:23 schestowitz[TR]; soiciety should strive to have healthy people
08:23 schestowitz[TR]; not bone-like, not like gulagboy
08:23 schestowitz[TR]; just healthy
08:23 schestowitz[TR]; maybe today's kids will sue their parents
08:24 schestowitz[TR]; for saying tings like
08:24 schestowitz[TR]; "son, you are becoming fat"
08:24 schestowitz[TR]; that's obviously raysist and unacceptable
08:24 schestowitz[TR]; there is not a race for fatness
08:24 schestowitz[TR]; and gender caalled "fat"
08:24 schestowitz[TR]; so calling fat people fat is nazism
08:24 DaemonFC; "More to the point, this recurrent clumsiness indicates a less discerning eye for detail than one would hope for from the arbiters of correctness. Why cant Mrs. Silver be attractive? Whos to say that attractiveness is wholly physical, or that being attractive and being kind are mutually exclusive? The implication that such things are true erases the nuances that give characters depth, and flattens the edges that give writing character."
08:25 DaemonFC; There are no "attractive" women and there aren't any "fat" ones. And nobody has a "son". Or a "gun".
08:25 schestowitz[TR]; the system is not good
08:25 DaemonFC; What a world.
08:25 schestowitz[TR]; it fails youngm people
08:25 schestowitz[TR]; so they make the system peee-regulated
08:25 DaemonFC; Son of a gun!
08:25 schestowitz[TR]; by making kids learn from pain that to criticise other people is verbotn
08:25 schestowitz[TR]; that's how china keeps thing sin check

08:26 DaemonFC; It's bad enough that I know it's happening.
08:26 schestowitz[TR]; "Fat" is a race

17:16 schestowitz[TR]; animated?
17:16 matteobin; I'm thinking about leaving my job too. I would like to go independent.

17:16 schestowitz[TR]; there are millions of peroducers
17:16 matteobin; No, live action.
17:16 schestowitz[TR]; those that stand out typically need the channels' monopolists
17:16 schestowitz[TR]; i am fully independent now
17:16 schestowitz[TR]; i like it
17:17 schestowitz[TR]; and I'm far more productive
17:17 schestowitz[TR]; I go trhough about 50% more news stories
17:17 matteobin; It's a very low budget short film.
17:17 schestowitz[TR]; to be published online?
17:17 matteobin; The contest would give us up to 20000 EUR.
17:17 schestowitz[TR]; youtube is becoming bitter and oppressive

17:18 schestowitz[TR]; and got just hundreds of views

17:20 matteobin; It depends. If we get the funding from the contest, half of the budget is to pay the actors.
17:20 schestowitz[TR]; with things escalating in ukraine I reckon some stockpiling like covid-19 lockdown days is imminent in some countries
17:20 schestowitz[TR]; baltic etc.
17:20 matteobin; If we do it on our own, we would not be able to pay the actors and the only real cost would be location and props.
17:20 schestowitz[TR]; based on perceived threat of tactiucal [sic] nukes
17:21 schestowitz[TR]; some actors if they're friends can do this gratis
17:21 schestowitz[TR]; the producer takes all the financial risk
17:21 matteobin; Making films is just a hobby for me. I don't think I'll ever be able to do it as my job.
17:22 schestowitz[TR]; not everything needs to be a job
17:22 schestowitz[TR]; life is not a job
17:22 schestowitz[TR]; work to live
17:22 schestowitz[TR]; or live to work?
17:22 schestowitz[TR]; job is a man-made concept anyway
17:22 matteobin; Actually the producer is the one that organizes, he's not the one who pays for it.
17:22 schestowitz[TR]; pets don't work
17:22 schestowitz[TR]; in a society or the system there are expectations of income
17:22 schestowitz[TR]; as people rarely grow their own food
17:23 schestowitz[TR]; and they need access to material, meds etc.
17:23 schestowitz[TR]; but that's an aside
17:23 matteobin; I know, you are right. I meant that I would like to change the way I work too. After I have done this short film.
17:23 schestowitz[TR]; you can work and save
17:23 schestowitz[TR]; and for each year worked you can cover x years of living
17:23 schestowitz[TR]; living = doing what you want
17:24 schestowitz[TR]; not living = doing what others command you to do
17:24 schestowitz[TR]; usually only for their own benefikt
17:24 immibis; saving is a myth. Saving is impossible, unless you stock a bunker full of canned food.
17:24 schestowitz[TR]; they buy years off of you
17:24 immibis; Your saving is just someone else's debt.
17:24 matteobin; I would like to be an independent sysadmin or programmer.
17:24 matteobin; However I quite afraid of not being able to do it.
17:25 schestowitz[TR]; like in the movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Time
17:25 TR Bot; In Time - Wikipedia
17:25 immibis; everyone starts with a balance of about -60 years allowed to be living (we call it "house prices" as a euphemism). You must get this to 0 before you are allowed to live.
17:25 schestowitz[TR]; not really
17:25 techuser; I don't know if I would earn a lot of money, but it won't mean I would do "what I want". I did not consent to tech getting worse, nor do I know what else I enjoy, if anything.
17:25 matteobin; I would like to work with only GNU stuff. Or maybe open a small PC repair shop.
17:26 schestowitz[TR]; tech does get worse
17:26 schestowitz[TR]; and now is an ok time to leave
17:26 matteobin; I've seen that movie.
17:26 schestowitz[TR]; examples
17:26 immibis; you don't have to consent. Capitalism is not based on consent.
17:26 schestowitz[TR]; (or symptims)
17:26 schestowitz[TR]; - Amazon forcing people to work from the office
17:26 schestowitz[TR]; - Wage stagnation
17:26 schestowitz[TR]; - Union-busting
17:26 schestowitz[TR]; many more
17:26 techuser; I can just "keep existing".
17:26 schestowitz[TR]; in the ness all the time
17:26 schestowitz[TR]; they nexploit job insecurity to treat people like shit
17:27 schestowitz[TR]; and it'll get worse this year, as the system sags
17:27 matteobin; Maybe I'm just a coward, maybe I should just quit and try to work as I would like it.
17:27 matteobin; The trap in my head is that I don't know how.
17:28 matteobin; Or at least I think I don't know how to be independent.
17:28 immibis; do you think if I keep trying to log into Twitter over Tor, Elon will decide he's spending too much money on these captchas and turn off captchas?
17:28 matteobin; Sorry, I'm rambling.
17:29 techuser; Then I will lose my job and won't be able to find support anywher, partially because my socializing issues..
17:29 schestowitz[TR]; matteobin: it depends
17:29 schestowitz[TR]; in my case
17:29 schestowitz[TR]; I decided in 2021 to leave
17:29 techuser; Assuming I get a job at all.
17:29 schestowitz[TR]; in 2019 i thought about it
17:29 schestowitz[TR]; but then came the pandemic and lockdowns
17:29 schestowitz[TR]; in 2022 i started challenging the bosses

17:33 matteobin; I'll ask daemonfc. Maybe he can help me. :D
17:33 techuser; The IRC friends will disappear forever.
17:33 schestowitz[TR]; he pays rent, but not much

17:34 techuser; Websites can be different.
17:35 schestowitz[TR]; immibis: web sites are a virtual concept
17:35 matteobin; Who do you mean?
17:35 schestowitz[TR]; "cloud" = physical servers

17:38 schestowitz[TR]; you can try while working

17:38 schestowitz[TR]; 16
17:38 schestowitz[TR]; and started my sites at agge 16
17:38 schestowitz[TR]; personal site age 20
17:38 matteobin; How can you get work without using Facebook or other evil stuff in IT? Should I leave IT completely?
17:39 schestowitz[TR]; many people do things like singing/art/football while working
17:39 schestowitz[TR]; the job feeds the hobby/ambition
17:39 techuser; Yes, better leave it. It goes worse all the time, what is "good" now may be corrupt the next year or in a few years.
17:39 schestowitz[TR]; matteobin: FB does not help find a job
17:39 schestowitz[TR]; it helps end jobs
17:39 schestowitz[TR]; because it's a snooping places for colleagues inc. bosses
17:39 matteobin; If I go independent, I'll need a way to promote myself.

17:41 matteobin; What would you do to get IT jobs as a freelance?
17:41 schestowitz[TR]; ISPs sell your data

17:42 schestowitz[TR]; yeah

17:42 techuser; PC repair may get more complicated as some evil things like TPM and Pluton chips get introduced.

17:43 schestowitz[TR]; psydroid2: in gulag it's worse than icbm
17:43 schestowitz[TR]; they say all the 'IP' [sic] you do even outside work is theirs
17:44 matteobin; And the question remains: can Free Software programming make me earn enough?
17:44 psydruid; Which is why I never considered working for gulag
17:44 schestowitz[TR]; so if after work at gulag you spend some time building some project in git they claim to 'own' it
17:44 schestowitz[TR]; i think you need to sign thiis to consent
17:44 schestowitz[TR]; they worry you might use the knowledge you gain to makme some indpeendent thing
17:44 schestowitz[TR]; even if at your personal capacity and tiem
17:44 techuser; Clarification needed. Corporations do free software, with telemetry, selling data.
17:45 matteobin; I'm good at Debian packaging, suckless software and C. But are there people interested to pay for this.
17:45 mjg59_; techuser: How do TPMs impact PC repair?

18:07 techuser; Now need to port the smartphone patterns onto PC, maybe in a "boiling frog" way.
18:07 mjg59_; And Pluton wouldn't offer any advantages in DRM
18:08 techuser; Maybe not at the current stage, yet the evil pattern is seen. Making the user have less control over their device.
18:09 mjg59_; What control does Pluton take away from the user?
18:13 psydruid; Pluton is from the planet otherwise called FuckMicrosoft

22:16 DaemonFC; The reason more gun laws don't control the gun problem is when you spend 99% of your effort on 2% of the problem, you don't make any progress with the problem.
22:16 DaemonFC; Illinois.

22:18 DaemonFC; At one point, they found out that one of the major uses of the makerbot at the Chicago library system were gang criminals 3d printing DEFCAD gun parts.
22:18 DaemonFC; Having DEFCAD files is a state crime in Illinois, and here were these goddamned people with the files, sending them to a government printer at the library then shooting other criminals with them.
22:18 DaemonFC; See how gun laws work?

22:21 DaemonFC; Then there's always the Democrats like Pritzker signing laws to make illegal things illegal.
22:21 DaemonFC; It was already a felony in Illinois to have "ghost guns" because they don't have a serial number and it's impossible to register them with the FOID system, so you had to commit two felonies to have one, and then you'd also commit a felony for Unlawful Use of a Weapon for a total of three felonies if you had one on you while on any "public land", including roads and sidewalks.
22:21 DaemonFC; But he signed another law.
22:24 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz @DaemonFC
22:24 DaemonFC; "You know that thing that was already three felonies and no person who cares about their fucking future would ever consider it? We're going to make it illegal again with a fourth law! Because more laws will solve this!" -Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker
22:24 DaemonFC; The reason we have criminals is mostly because they're not sitting there reading the Illinois Compiled Statutes and thinking about what the next 40 years is going to be like in prison if they do the thing.
22:24 DaemonFC; Think another 5 years will scare them?
22:27 MinceR; maybe they should try an exponential function instead

22:30 DaemonFC; So I was reading a CNN article about "sensitivity readers" making wokeness edits with revision from Infospeak Division of Minitrue.
22:30 DaemonFC; Roald Dahl because of things like not being allowed to call people fat, or to say someone is "attractive" anymore, and nobody has a "son".
22:30 DaemonFC; Then another article said Night Court is back and they make fun of mental illness. So that's still fair game.
22:31 DaemonFC; At least we can share the real version with torrents.

22:37 DaemonFC; I was not amused when I opened Quest Diagnostics Web site this morning to make an appointment for some lab work and in addition to Male or Female as "sex" which had Male selected, I was also supposed to add gender.
22:37 DaemonFC; New Illinois law. They have no problems. Had to make people even more confused every time we fill out a form.
22:37 DaemonFC; There was an option for "decline to say" but I noticed it just lets you leave it blank, so I did.

22:42 DaemonFC; I think the thing that made me the most repulsed was that they say they use the information for "public health reporting" which means whatever you tell them gets handed over to the state to go into some database.
