00:11 DaemonFC; MinceR, I was reading about a rehab house in Indiana.
00:12 DaemonFC; I have to admit that they had me at no porn, no sex, no substances, and minimum of 15 job applications per week. The curfew and no computer access policies were just gravy.
00:12 DaemonFC; :)
00:13 DaemonFC; To be fair it says you're not allowed to be in a sexual relationship "with a woman" while you're there.
00:13 DaemonFC; Exact Wording Trope.
00:15 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Puritanism you know, it's working out great in practice.
00:15 DaemonFC; "I read that whole thing and nowhere in there did you say I couldn't have sex with a man. It's not my fault you people can't think of these things. A deal's a deal!"

00:20 MinceR; DaemonFC: how did they imagine the "minimum of 15 job applications per week" and "no computer access" policies would work together?
00:22 DaemonFC; You have to give them your phone to put in the safe while you're there and can only apply for jobs using computer in their main room with everyone watching you, so that's the exception I suppose.
00:22 DaemonFC; This place sounds like a cult.
00:22 MinceR; indeed
00:24 DaemonFC; They order you to attend mandatory counseling for addiction at the Bowen Center and submit to random drug and alcohol tests.
00:25 DaemonFC; Don't let addiction destroy your life. Go find some minimum wage job and let that destroy you while you slowly break down./

03:07 DaemonFC; He would've gotten more had Trump never been in office.

03:08 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: he should have closed a deal earlier
03:09 schestowitz[TR]; like january
03:09 schestowitz[TR]; now they are bailing out
03:09 schestowitz[TR]; and they saw inside the room
03:09 schestowitz[TR]; others will know something is amiss
03:09 schestowitz[TR]; and vacate soon
03:09 schestowitz[TR]; unlike you
03:09 DaemonFC; What do you mean?
03:09 DaemonFC; Just like start disappearing on him?
03:09 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
03:10 schestowitz[TR]; find another place
03:10 schestowitz[TR]; maybe not even pay
03:10 schestowitz[TR]; thhen the appeal of the purchase is lessened further
03:10 DaemonFC; I'm not leaving.
03:10 schestowitz[TR]; but confessing to tenants he was selling would not havee panned out better
03:10 DaemonFC; Nobody else is renting apartments at this price level.
03:10 schestowitz[TR]; even worse
03:10 schestowitz[TR]; and they would not clean
03:11 schestowitz[TR]; wouldd you cleaan up for somethingelse
03:11 schestowitz[TR]; the person who replaces you?
03:11 DaemonFC; I don't think they'll throw us out.
03:11 schestowitz[TR]; they? who?
03:11 schestowitz[TR]; the landlord?
03:11 DaemonFC; Yeah.
03:11 schestowitz[TR]; or the devil you don't know

03:13 t0talist; i am too worried, since they tweaked on energy billing already; and the annual bill which is stamped 1st march each year, didn't arrive yet
03:13 schestowitz[TR]; i will put it differently then,
03:13 schestowitz[TR]; he had two choice
03:13 schestowitz[TR]; tell tenants or hide from them
03:13 schestowitz[TR]; nooow they asume the worst
03:13 t0talist; i suspect, it's all tampered and tweaked, to generate cash-flow... meanwhile labor unions protest, including public institutions, who demand high increase
03:13 schestowitz[TR]; seeing that some strangers take stock of the room
03:13 schestowitz[TR]; and might already check contigennnncies
03:13 t0talist; which then, one way or another, shows up on the bill as energy price, or cold rent
03:14 t0talist; next monday, labor unions announced they'll bring german railway to halt
03:14 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], So you think he's a coward and chose poorly?
03:14 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
03:14 DaemonFC; And if he had just been honest about it it may have been better for him?
03:15 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights
03:15 DaemonFC; He never replied to my email and he hasn't talked to me at all since the "inspection".
03:15 DaemonFC; He's still off hiding hoping the buyers pay for the building and he can just disappear.
03:15 t0talist; if you couldn't pay for 3month... a landlord can terminate the contract, and evict here
03:16 t0talist; and given the prices, the equivalent of 3month rent unpaid, that's a constant threat
03:17 t0talist; since this equates to more than 50% of monthly income, it's not possible to save some money, to sustain a little while on savings
03:18 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Figure it will be better for us if he sells or doesn't sell?
03:18 DaemonFC; If he becomes exasperated and decides to sit on it and try again in a year or two, that gives us time at least.
03:19 TR News; pensions are a hot topic right now, partly because of France and Macron. Techrights will be writing a lot about pensions this months and next month, based on months of meticulous research though limited to UK law.

03:20 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: sorry, not ignoring
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; was away in kitchen to brew a teapot of coffee
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; to answer the question, I'm not sure which is worse
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; but the way it's turning out, they might not be buying
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; and he just scared some tenants
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; you for sure
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; not sure if others clued up
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; maybe asked relatives "WTH" was going on
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; when you asked me I told you,
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; and was right,
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; that he was getting the place evaluated for sale
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; turns out he tentatively sold already
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; and they were trying to get some last check
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; like ad hoc "house survey"
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; the british term
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; "does this A/C work?"
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; they would not ask this is the deal was secured already
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; this building might be the sole "saving" of yoour landlord
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; worse -- maybe it's connected to his own home mortgagee
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; what Carl/Felta told you was spot on
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; about how risky and difficult this caaan be
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; and even cause losses, not just stress
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; calls at 3am
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; or people crying cause they cannot pay
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; and beg
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; and offer sex and stuff
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; some think they buy this complex
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; and it's "cheap"
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; but then you get poor tennant
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; drug users etc.
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; this is not a home for a family
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; unless you have 10 wives and 3 kids
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; and even then you don't need so many baths
03:24 DaemonFC; Yeah, I'm sure he's got so many headaches from this place that it's just one giant nightmare he wants rid of.
03:24 DaemonFC; But the thing is that maybe nobody wants it.
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; so it's just some 52-year old building
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; in a poooor area
03:24 DaemonFC; Or at least not unless it's cheap.
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; made for budget tenants
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; he wants tto offload the thing
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; the stress might have shortened his lefe by 10 years in the past 15 yeras
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; btw
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; those visitors you had
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; they surveyed the tennats
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; they all had to be home
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; so they saw faces
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; "ok, gay couple"
03:25 DaemonFC; Not all of us were.
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; "ok, smelly guy with bullssdog"
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; "some guy who looks like he is on mth"
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; *meth
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: so they do a loo-and-see
03:26 DaemonFC; Yeah, I'm sure we were the shining city on the hill out of all of his tenants here.
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; *look
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; what they own, the smell, sanitary
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; some people have ashtrays all over
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; ruining the walls/paint
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: but they don't make a partial buy
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; it's a bundle deal
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; all or nothing
03:26 DaemonFC; Yep.

03:27 TR Bot; Tux Machines Barry Kauler: Endless Sky and OpenEmbedded 4.0.* (UPDATED)
03:27 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: re your landlord
03:27 schestowitz[TR]; let me tell you a story
03:27 schestowitz[TR]; it's about my former boss
03:27 DaemonFC; I think they probably saw a lot of shit that I have no idea about.
03:27 schestowitz[TR]; took a big house ona mortgage
03:27 DaemonFC; It was likely not flattering.
03:27 schestowitz[TR]; went on holidays abroad with the girls
03:27 schestowitz[TR]; drove a massive car
03:27 schestowitz[TR]; sent the girls to super-eexpensive school
03:28 schestowitz[TR]; that houses politicians' kids
03:28 schestowitz[TR]; but debttttttt was piling up in his business
03:28 schestowitz[TR]; he had to pretent all was ok
03:28 schestowitz[TR]; of course i was peeking at official government papers
03:28 schestowitz[TR]; unsudited financial filing
03:28 schestowitz[TR]; *unaudited
03:28 schestowitz[TR]; due to small business size
03:28 schestowitz[TR]; they give thoose exemptions
03:29 schestowitz[TR]; and it was getting worse every year
03:29 schestowitz[TR]; he hoped for miracle or turnaround
03:29 t0talist; DaemonFC: aren't there any legal regulations? even when buildings are sold/renewed, or when the owner changes, they can't just do what they want
03:29 schestowitz[TR]; later he escaped the country
03:29 schestowitz[TR]; t0talist: not at first
03:29 schestowitz[TR]; it's time-limited
03:29 schestowitz[TR]; but if they tell you,
03:29 DaemonFC; They have to honor the existing lease.
03:29 schestowitz[TR]; we renovote this thing in 12 months and will double the rent
03:30 schestowitz[TR]; you might leave because
03:30 schestowitz[TR]; 1) the price
03:30 schestowitz[TR]; 2) for 6 months you cannot live there (rennovations)
03:30 DaemonFC; I don't think anyone can get away with renovating this place.
03:30 t0talist; schestowitz[TR]: but then they do have to renovate, and too sanitizing is distinguished from modernization, only with the latter they can increase the rent
03:30 DaemonFC; I just don't see it happening.
03:30 schestowitz[TR]; not worth it
03:30 schestowitz[TR]; if, as you say, the surroundings are dodgy
03:30 t0talist; and modernization, is expensive
03:31 schestowitz[TR]; and a good-looking place would attract theives/vandals
03:31 t0talist; the only way a private owned real-estate can evice some tenant, if the owner announces the housing is required by themselves
03:31 schestowitz[TR]; there are advantagess to living in a plac that looks bad from the outside
03:31 t0talist; *evict
03:31 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
03:32 t0talist; could be different in USA
03:33 t0talist; and well, here they tried to cheat on energy billing... which is related to "modernization", because badly sealed housings with inefficient heating is subject to legal requirements, to modernize with increased rents
03:33 t0talist; that's too why i lowered heating, to effectively nothing, because with zero energy consumption, they can't argue with requirements to modernize
03:34 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: in the proess he was startiing to steal workers' money
03:34 schestowitz[TR]; in secret
03:34 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The way I see it they'd be in on this place another $500,000-800,000 to get this place "nice".
03:34 schestowitz[TR]; and we can never forgive him for that
03:34 schestowitz[TR]; he chose to defraud over bankruptcy
03:34 t0talist; they may say hey, it won't be modernized, but the appartment must be maintained (fresh paint to the walls)... which isn't a problem, i would do it myself, if they pay the paint
03:35 DaemonFC; They came through here, saw some rough stuff, sketchy tenants, buildings that need fixes.
03:35 DaemonFC; They probably really don't want to be in on this nearly $2.4 million.
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; it's more than that
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; 1.plumbing
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; you compalin a lot abbout it
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; you lose months' of rent to change pipes
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; you cannot do this in situ
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; 2. paint etc.
03:36 DaemonFC; The pipes are gurgling all the time.
03:36 schestowitz[TR]; surface-thin, does not tackle aging bricks/concrete
03:36 DaemonFC; Sometimes they start backing up and he comes out and runs an auger down the thing and gets it going again for a while.
03:36 schestowitz[TR]; and not health to be in a house with paint agents... ask uncle keith
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; 3. very expensive
03:37 DaemonFC; Uncle Keith huh? That takes me back.
03:37 DaemonFC; Back to 1993.
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; and at price point of such rent it would be ruined fast
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; like people sitttting there naked on sofas
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; not showering
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; eating all over them
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; i think proper reno would be another 2 million
03:38 DaemonFC; You think they know it's a lemon and they're in the process of finding the ejector seat from this "contract offer"?
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; the cost of sale, assuming they stick to askign price
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; and you cannot "reno" the neighbourhood
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; worse, it can become worse over time
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; the wealth gap in the us continued to widen
03:38 DaemonFC; No you can't. Rich people are not going to move to this neighborhood.
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; and social programs are cut
03:39 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: i could use your insight on pensions
03:39 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Yeah, if he's having trouble chasing people down for rent now, wait til they start losing their Medicaid and food stamps and stuff.
03:39 schestowitz[TR]; i want to make the series we have more tidy
03:39 schestowitz[TR]; and ii don't know what they did to you parents, but..
03:39 DaemonFC; Okay.
03:39 schestowitz[TR]; a relative in the us told me in 2011 pensins are "ponzi scchemes"
03:39 schestowitz[TR]; or "pyrammmmid"
03:39 DaemonFC; Well, Jack Welch of GE basically raided and stole the RCA pensions when he took over.
03:39 schestowitz[TR]; i didn't heed that advice/caution
03:39 DaemonFC; He didn't totally wipe my dad out, but he did at least as much damage as the divorce from mom.
03:40 DaemonFC; Then you know all about the Catholics and mom.
03:40 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> > I'm sorry not to get back to you sooner but xxxxxx told us that we
03:40 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> > weren't allowed to contact you, but now he's left I guess its okay!
03:40 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> I thought he had done this. He did the same to me. Cannot speak to anybody. Isolating me.
03:40 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> > I haven't dared look at the pensions! Could you tell me what the pension
03:40 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> > provider said? Was it Now Pensions?
03:40 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> Nobody can find the pension the workers had until 2016. Even people who left the company years ago are told by Standard Life that the account isn't there and they refuse to say anything else. It's therefore suspected the current pension can't be trusted to be there either. People affected by this are still investigating.
03:40 schestowitz[TR]; to summarise, DaemonFC
03:41 schestowitz[TR]; many workers 'have' pensions
03:41 schestowitz[TR]; and as insiders they are shy to ask questions
03:41 schestowitz[TR]; and if they do ask, they receive no answers
03:41 schestowitz[TR]; after I left I started making a lot more calls
03:41 DaemonFC; Like the situation with my landlord.
03:41 schestowitz[TR]; I did that months before leaving too
03:41 schestowitz[TR]; but didn't go deep enough
03:41 DaemonFC; "Hi, I already know you're probably going to sell this place. But before you do, can you extend our lease as a favor? We've always paid you on time."
03:42 DaemonFC; *No answer.*
03:42 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
03:42 schestowitz[TR]; not good
03:42 schestowitz[TR]; speaking of no replies
03:42 schestowitz[TR]; from people you PAY
03:43 schestowitz[TR]; we had that in sirius
03:43 schestowitz[TR]; the bosses ignored messages from staff
03:43 DaemonFC; BofA Merrill's Web site is sketchy AF.
03:43 schestowitz[TR]; even lied about t hem going into "spam"
03:43 schestowitz[TR]; let me quote you something
03:43 DaemonFC; It locked Mandy out of his 401(k) the other week and complained of bad password.
03:43 DaemonFC; And made me log in through an app to reset it.
03:44 DaemonFC; Now it complains unsupported browser because it says "Linux" in the UA.
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; "
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; Hi again xxxx!
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; Yeah, its strange the isolating people from each other - that's the game these people play I guess. Its such a relief that he left, he was so horrible to me and bullied me relentlessly. He even bounced me into a grievance process with xxxx and said that him and xxxx were starting the grievance process with or without me so it was in my interest to turn up the the initial grievance meeting on Google Meet! After that him and xxxx wan
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; ted to meet with me on Google Meet to tell me that I'd been shortlisted for redundancy but I wasn't allowed to tell anyone.
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; After he left I asked xxxx if I was still being made redundant and he said that all that was over now that xxxx has left!
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; Horrible, horrible man. I hope I never see him again!
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; And he never ever replied to any of my Slack messages even though he was my manager. And I've no idea what he did besides picking on people."
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; shorter version
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; the cabal was picking on staff
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; threatening them
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; to cause stress
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; this was when the economy was falling
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; war in ukraine
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; aand you cannot speak back
03:44 schestowitz[TR]; they ignore
03:45 DaemonFC; Getting harder to hide the "funding gap".
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; so I kept picking up the pphone
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; insisting that we talk
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; ON THE F* phone
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; otherwise they can dodge
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; even on the phone
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; "too busy"
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; "ok, when can I phone again?"
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; "later today?"
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; "tomorrow"
03:45 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Yeah, if I call the landlord on the phone he'll either blow me off or get pissed.
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; "tomorrow?"
03:45 schestowitz[TR]; that gets to the point they cannot escape
03:45 DaemonFC; If he gets pissed and ends up being the landlord when our lease renews, not good.
03:45 DaemonFC; Leave it alone.
03:46 DaemonFC; He'll either sell it or he won't.
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; they cannot say "i will be too busy till the day i die"
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; i did this to bosses
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; i didn't care at that point
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; i had to confront them about etthical and legal breaches of theirs
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: yes, it is like this
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; not a good situation
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; it's why many work via agencies
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; even simple comms
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; via middlemen
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; toooo avoid things "bblowing up"
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; by the way, some of these typos are due to Barrier
03:47 schestowitz[TR]; not mepressing down the buttons too long
03:48 schestowitz[TR]; i think i neeed to restart barrier
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; ok, restarted
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; hopefully this will pay off
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: here's some more
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; it's a dungeon company by now
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; I pity whoever is sitll there
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; hoping to get yet anbother paycheck... and another
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; till the bitter end
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; some clients write to me
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; high-profile companioes
03:49 DaemonFC; Zombie corporation.
03:49 schestowitz[TR]; one told me this month they decided" to give sirius the boot"
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; weeks after rianne and I quit
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: yes
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; living off
03:50 DaemonFC; The clients can't get the company to do what they're paying them for anymore?
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; 1!) bank loan
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; 2) remaining clients/contracts
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; 3) old name/reputation
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: some contracts have clauses for refund
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; e.g. if SLA not met
03:50 DaemonFC; LOL
03:51 DaemonFC; So if the client leaves they get a lot of money back.
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; sooner or later they will realise they might be entitled to get money back
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; BUT
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; the company cannot pay it bakc
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; too broke
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; they pay salaries from people's pension pots
03:51 DaemonFC; Which makes them an unsecured creditor.
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; i warned the pension provider for months
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; that we would sue if they let the company touch it
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC:
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; "xxxx's returning soon - she's another one that has been so horrible to me. She even made me work 2 days after I was attacked and I had to work lying down on the sofa with concussion. She said she couldn't find anyone to cover my shift but after I was better I asked around and everyone said that she never asked. Evil woman.
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; "
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; true story
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; i didn't know all the finer details
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; now I know
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; there is a cabal there
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; bullying stuff
03:52 DaemonFC; Oh yeah.
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; *staff rather
03:52 DaemonFC; I had an on the job accident when I was at Stride Rite.
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; "I laughed at another of Roy's memes - the one where they have all the passwords but they have to ask Mr Kink what to do! Those of us who know what to do aren't allowed to do it. I tried to get access to xxxxx's new aws account as Mr Kink won't let anyone have access. xxxx just said that only xxxx can have access because of "Company policy and ISO compliance.""
03:53 DaemonFC; I tripped over a hazard and hit my head on a forklift roll cage.
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; Dilbert made like 20 cartoons about ISO
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; esp. those specific iso certs
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; but now dilbert is a goner :)
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; criticisising fake certs is "racist"
03:53 DaemonFC; They took me to the ER and then got the doctor to put me on "light duty". I was back at work with a concussion and dried blood all over my head.
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; ouch
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; i heard worse
03:54 DaemonFC; Then they blamed it on me and wrote me up.
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; annyway, he workeeed while injured
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; after being assaulted
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; and still traumaatised
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; "So we have current tickets from xxxxx but we can't investigate as we don't have access. They are on a 24/7 support contract but xxxxx has kept them waiting all week whereas we could have done the work within the day. I'm sure they'll get fed up soon and leave. Its just bizarre."
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; i reckon the company has just a handful of clienhts left
03:54 DaemonFC; The irony was that I hurt myself on something that was meant to protect me, which was made out of iron. Iron-ic.
03:54 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; and only due to signing a 12-0month contract or whatever
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; and paying upfront
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; schestowitz[TR]> and did not comment on that until things were conclusive, hence it's worth speaking to former colleagues
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> i bet you did not know the gates foundation nda till I told you
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> that's covered in tecfhrights as well
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> Nope didn't have a clue about that one
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> only weeks later they tried to humiliate both rianne and I
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> in 2019
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> it was crazy
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> back when I was getting 3000 pages from seattle police about arrest at gates' home
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> for pedophilia
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> To be honest I tried to purge the place from my brain once I left
03:55 DaemonFC; That whole place was a sweatshop.
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; many are
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; in sirius it was a technical job
03:56 schestowitz[TR]; but they added clerical shit the last year
03:56 schestowitz[TR]; like picking up phone to take details
03:56 DaemonFC; Almost everyone back there was worked so hard that we all had stories of running off without a pallet on the order picker and almost falling off from 60+ feet up.
03:56 schestowitz[TR]; and not actually ssh to investigate/fix
03:56 DaemonFC; One guy did and I found him hanging from his safety harness.
03:57 DaemonFC; I hurried up and parked and went up there with a pallet and got him back on his lift before the boss realized it and wrote him up.
03:57 DaemonFC; That place was horrible.
03:57 DaemonFC; "Voluntary overtime."
03:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
03:59 schestowitz[TR]; hahaa
03:59 schestowitz[TR]; here is a story
03:59 schestowitz[TR]; when rianne worked in taiwan
03:59 schestowitz[TR]; they did many horrible things
04:00 schestowitz[TR]; one was, they identtify charismatic workers
04:00 schestowitz[TR]; and fired them
04:00 schestowitz[TR]; for no real reasons
04:00 schestowitz[TR]; others than them havign poitential to lead
04:00 schestowitz[TR]; like union/rebellion
04:00 schestowitz[TR]; just fired... for no real reason
04:00 schestowitz[TR]; another was, about overtime
04:00 schestowitz[TR]; they offer you something like meal, not money,k for more hours
04:00 schestowitz[TR]; you cannot turn this down
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; it's like in seinfeld when the doc takes down notes
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; and won't show them to you
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; so you need to be "okay... okay"
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; not because you accept the extra hours
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; but because it's not "honourable" to say no
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; taiwan is like japan korea and mainland china in that respect
04:01 DaemonFC; Yeah, it's like psychiatrists. They have to legally give you the records if you ask for them.
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; life is work, work is life
04:01 DaemonFC; But they don't want you to have them.
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; they are expensive
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; and they work "for you"
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; not the case in a workplace
04:02 DaemonFC; I got ahold of some once and the doctor had written down a lot of things wrong.
04:02 DaemonFC; Like he was kind of half-listening to me.
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; i don't like GPs keeping notes
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; never tell them anything persona
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; 1) they might type it wrong
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; 2) they might type them right (also bad)
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; 3) they wwwill leak, eventually
04:03 schestowitz[TR]; maybe to the public
04:03 schestowitz[TR]; maybe in private, some nation like north korea
04:03 schestowitz[TR]; you need to limit what they have on you

04:05 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], People are awful.
04:05 schestowitz[TR]; HEY HI HEY HI HEY HI HEY HI
04:05 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: mmany are
04:05 schestowitz[TR]; not all
04:05 schestowitz[TR]; don't generalise
04:05 DaemonFC; Mom asked a nurse's aid at work if she'd like some chinese food for dinner.
04:05 DaemonFC; The woman's like "Aren't they the ones making COVID?".
04:05 DaemonFC; :)
04:05 DaemonFC; I told mom, "Yes, they're making COVID. They have a whole factory in that kitchen. Nothing but COVID."
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; yes, you told me that
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; it's a problem that nurses talk like this
04:06 DaemonFC; Like, how can you even be that stupid?
04:06 DaemonFC; It wasn't a nurse.
04:06 DaemonFC; It was a CNA.
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; btw, us and canada also have nasty specimens in laabs
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; those too will leak one day
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; by accident or not
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; it is inevitable
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; that's just what happens
04:06 schestowitz[TR]; same with nukes
04:07 schestowitz[TR]; murses take oaths a
04:07 schestowitz[TR]; and then say "raysist shit"
04:07 DaemonFC; Russia decommissioned a lot of nukes because it couldn't afford to keep them.
04:07 DaemonFC; Same with the US.
04:07 schestowitz[TR]; they can re-commission some
04:07 DaemonFC; Many have been dismantled.
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; anyway,m they kept enough to klill billions
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; you keep a few strategic areas
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; people then die from hunger and thirst
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; not cancer
04:08 DaemonFC; Yes, it's enough to seriously fuck things up.
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; cancer is a lot slower
04:08 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The process to get a CNA license isn't hard.
04:08 DaemonFC; I had one for years.

04:09 DaemonFC; Taking care of old/disabled people that are falling apart.
04:09 schestowitz[TR]; it's hard, yes
04:09 schestowitz[TR]; some relatives told me
04:09 schestowitz[TR]; they try to retire early
04:09 schestowitz[TR]; and it got worse
04:09 schestowitz[TR]; as many retire
04:09 schestowitz[TR]; and the rest get overworked

04:10 DaemonFC; I don't want to get that old if I'll be in that kind of shape, schestowitz[TR]
04:10 DaemonFC; I'd rather die.
04:10 schestowitz[TR]; dead means end
04:10 schestowitz[TR]; so you lose
04:10 DaemonFC; That's where you're going anyway.
04:10 schestowitz[TR]; it's only good if you suffer way too much
04:11 schestowitz[TR]; and cannot redeem
04:11 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: my old boss was likely cheating on the life
04:11 schestowitz[TR]; by "likely" i mean almost for sure
04:11 schestowitz[TR]; but I cannot say this with 100% certainty
04:11 DaemonFC; Yeah, a lot of people do.
04:11 schestowitz[TR]; there is gossip now
04:11 DaemonFC; adultery ends up happening in like 40% of marriages.
04:12 DaemonFC; It lets you get away from it for a minute without divorcing.
04:12 DaemonFC; You find an excuse to be away from the house for a while and then come back like nothing happened.
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> we saw your certs there in the office in 2019 visit
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> they had us a sign a conntract we never saw
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> assigning us to a shell company
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> worth 1 biritish pound
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> and meanwhile in usa xxxxxxxxxx set up another shell
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> with a person whose name we never saw before
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> their first client was bill gates
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> maybe xxxxxxxxxx fell in love? ;-)
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> I think he was / is seeing someone over there when I left
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> bam
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> our suspicion was... right
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> xxxxxxxxxx?
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> No idea of the name
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> 43 years old
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> like xxxxxxxxxx's age more or less (xxxxxxxxxx born 1981)
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> I bet xxxxxxxxxx would have some good gos
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> yeah, do you have contacts with her?
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> our series said decent things about her
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> she was nice to rianne
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> Nah she stopped talking to me just after she went
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> Which I was kinda glad about I really didn't want to be involved with all that
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> yeah, i reckoned so... she went off the radar at that point completely
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> so xxxxxxxxxx left two women and 4 daughters out on a limb
04:12 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> She was alright with me as well to be fair
04:12 DaemonFC; That's what my mom did.
04:13 schestowitz[TR]; wait
04:13 schestowitz[TR]; she did it first?
04:13 DaemonFC; That fell apart on her because I lifted up the house phone and started listening one day. Then told my dad. Then she was still mad about it 20 years later.
04:13 schestowitz[TR]; your mom cheated on felta?
04:13 DaemonFC; "Well you might have a better life if you hadn't snooped on someone else's phone call."
04:13 DaemonFC; Yeah
04:13 schestowitz[TR]; tell her,.

04:14 TR Bot; NO TITLE
04:14 DaemonFC; She dumped tens of thousands of dollars into other mens houses and lost them in her 2nd and 3rd divorces.
04:14 schestowitz[TR]; you told me so
04:14 schestowitz[TR]; so she wa s amule
04:14 DaemonFC; Now she has nothing and has to hope her pension check comes in the mail.
04:14 schestowitz[TR]; she workked her arse off for "bums"
04:14 schestowitz[TR]; hmm...,. barrier issue still unsolved
04:14 schestowitz[TR]; maybe a home network issue
04:15 DaemonFC; Yeah, they were basically living off her.
04:15 DaemonFC; Blowing all their money on whatever they wanted.
04:15 DaemonFC; Cigarettes, beer, other women.
04:15 DaemonFC; And she was improving their house.
04:15 schestowitz[TR]; she should have given that money toi her son
04:15 schestowitz[TR]; her son would not cheat on her
04:15 DaemonFC; Yeah, she didn't.
04:15 schestowitz[TR]; most parents are not generous to kids like this
04:15 schestowitz[TR]; they look after them
04:15 schestowitz[TR]; food and all
04:15 schestowitz[TR]; but won't do things like buy them a home
04:16 DaemonFC; My brother still lives with her.
04:16 schestowitz[TR]; it's a mental thing
04:16 schestowitz[TR]; good for him
04:16 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights
04:16 DaemonFC; He's never worked. She just gives him everything, including video games to play all the time.
04:16 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, he has some mental deficiency
04:16 DaemonFC; His friends left town years ago.
04:16 schestowitz[TR]; so could use a mother's touch
04:17 DaemonFC; I'll never get anything from my parents because they've never made me a priority.
04:17 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: sirius will be over any week/mointh
04:17 schestowitz[TR]; the clock is ticking down
04:17 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: no, you cannot count on inheritence
04:17 schestowitz[TR]; in tttttttthe us more so
04:17 schestowitz[TR]; they might blow what's left on medical treatment
04:17 schestowitz[TR]; argh... barrier again
04:18 schestowitz[TR]; duplicate keystrokes
04:18 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I sent an email to the real estate agent from a burner address.
04:18 schestowitz[TR]; tbh,
04:18 DaemonFC; Inquiring about this property.
04:18 schestowitz[TR]; you cannot count on pensions either
04:18 schestowitz[TR]; not state pensions
04:18 schestowitz[TR]; not private ones
04:18 DaemonFC; See if the realtor accidentally spills anything to me.
04:18 schestowitz[TR]; it's like buying land in peru
04:18 schestowitz[TR]; you never know what might happen to your "proof of ownership" 20 years down the line
04:19 schestowitz[TR]; almost like investing in "land on mars"
04:19 schestowitz[TR]; or "NFTs"
04:19 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: clever trick
04:19 schestowitz[TR]; but maybe they won't reply
04:19 schestowitz[TR]; if they are reputable
04:19 schestowitz[TR]; some random email
04:19 schestowitz[TR]; for a property selling at $#2.4 million

04:20 schestowitz[TR]; by using a fake bid
04:20 DaemonFC; She replied.
04:20 schestowitz[TR]; they're meant to have protocols
04:20 DaemonFC; It says "This property is currently under contract. Thank you."
04:20 schestowitz[TR]; oh, i see
04:21 schestowitz[TR]; that does not say mmmuch
04:21 DaemonFC; No it doesn't.
04:21 DaemonFC; What do you make of that?
04:21 schestowitz[TR]; it's like you ask one thing
04:21 schestowitz[TR]; they reply to another
04:21 schestowitz[TR]; it's like when you phone a company and speak to a robot
04:21 DaemonFC; Yeah, I asked what she could tell me about this property and was it still available.
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; btw, in 2019 i asked some flunky/toadiue why the boss had moved to the us
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; sdhe responded to a question i never asked
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; such a manipuulative liar
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; I asked again
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; differently
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; same BS
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; lying, lying..
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; Sirius hired managers who are liars
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; orprmoted liars
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; never work for a company that's run by liars
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; unless you "milk them" for salaries
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; and an ignore their lying
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; but the thing is,
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; those lies can target you later
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; e.g. they lie about you
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; or
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; thee lies harm you
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; like lying about your pension
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC:
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> now i think we can try to figure out what he did to the pension
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> and what he might do next, with NOW:PENSION
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> spoke to them over an hour on Friday

04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> ah, good, sso my videos were correct
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> I kept saying she was the reason colleagues were leaving
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> When I just thought why the hell am I putting up with this from some idiot
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> you left before SHTF (shit hit the fan)
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> I can't beleive it got even worse
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> oh, you bet!!
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> Feel a bits sorry for whoever is left
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> her and xxxxxxxxxx
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> Pinky and the brainless
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <No-2> I got on with xxxxxxxxxx to be fair, I know not everyone was a fan though
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> she defected
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> and f*ed us over
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> we stayed in another 4 years
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> just for the salary
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> last night's article speaks of lousy "manager"

04:25 schestowitz[TR]; vouching for a friend is OK
04:25 schestowitz[TR]; if that friend is professionally suitable
04:25 schestowitz[TR]; lesson learned, DaemonFC:
04:25 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Why wouldn't she tell me anything but that?
04:25 schestowitz[TR]; as you saw in past employers of yours,
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; when it's time to leave, leave
04:26 DaemonFC; I was hoping she'd go into more detail.
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; don't wait too longgg
04:26 DaemonFC; Like "But he's still taking offers. Would you like a showing?".
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; gut feeling versus comfort of salary
04:26 DaemonFC; The status still shows "Under Contract - Continue Showing".
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; complacence ii not too good
04:26 DaemonFC; So he will take backup offers.
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; i was never a job hopper
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; but this ship was sinking
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; sooner or later we'd all be drowned
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; not my faulyt
04:27 DaemonFC; Some people never work someone more than a year or so.
04:27 DaemonFC; Some people less than that.
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; the fault of fraudsters and liars
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; they killed us all
04:27 DaemonFC; Frequent job hopping is a sign that the person is unreliable.
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; or unstable
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; l;ike gulagboy
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; changing jobs a lot
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; soon again
04:28 DaemonFC; I think he's just cashing paychecks while the company runs out of cash.
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; he thinks half a dozen jobs in 12 years is "normal"
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; nmaybe to him it's "normal"
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: yes
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; and out of people
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; so he can fake being important
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; enhancing the job title a bit
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; job titles are meaningless BS
04:29 schestowitz[TR]; the glorified titles are do-nothing jobs
04:29 schestowitz[TR]; like, "write emails"
04:29 schestowitz[TR]; "go to meetings"
04:29 DaemonFC; Yeah, MARISOL always posts confusing job titles that sound impressive.
04:29 schestowitz[TR]; they get nothing done
04:29 DaemonFC; Because they're so wordy.
04:29 schestowitz[TR]; even statements they hand over to media are not composed by them
04:29 schestowitz[TR]; but by people who went to college to get a worthless degree like "Communications"
04:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I very important. Job title has 7 words. Hahaha
04:30 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: social mesdia is just that
04:30 schestowitz[TR]; it's means to constuct parallel reality
04:30 schestowitz[TR]; where every freckle ius instagrammed away
04:30 schestowitz[TR]; every job you ever did is "senior" something
04:30 phanes; eh
04:30 schestowitz[TR]; you are alwayys on holiday
04:30 phanes; job hopping can be fine
04:31 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], If the contract is still going on 16 days later....
04:31 schestowitz[TR]; and you are "a father, a something, a something"
04:31 phanes; it doesn't mean you're unreliable at all
04:31 schestowitz[TR]; it's voyeurism
04:31 DaemonFC; They inspected the place last week.
04:31 DaemonFC; 7 days ago.
04:31 DaemonFC; Shouldn't they have financing by now?
04:31 schestowitz[TR]; <phanes> it doesn't mean you're unreliable at all
04:31 schestowitz[TR]; phanes: you are not
04:31 phanes; in my case i hopped for a years to build up my earning potential because i wasn't okay with being exploited for less than im worth
04:32 phanes; then when i got up to numbers i was happy with, i stayed longer
04:32 schestowitz[TR]; changing jobs is bad coz:
04:32 schestowitz[TR]; -shows lack of loyalty (possibloe)
04:32 schestowitz[TR]; -shows you migt not get along withn people
04:32 phanes; in IT you have about a 2 or 3 year lifespan at most companies
04:32 schestowitz[TR]; -lots of time-wasting adapting to new people and tasks
04:32 phanes; nah that's a skill too
04:32 schestowitz[TR]; (wastes your time and company's time)
04:32 phanes; you have to be good at that if you hop
04:33 phanes; have to get up to speed fast, form working relationships fast, have to be able to contribute quickly after arriving
04:33 phanes; or you'll just get chewed up
04:33 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: mayybe a limbo
04:33 schestowitz[TR]; sounds like it's in limbo
04:33 schestowitz[TR]; either they lost interest or lost money they thought they had secured
04:34 schestowitz[TR]; and they need a way out
04:34 *t0talist has quit (Quit: connection closed.)
04:34 schestowitz[TR]; like twitter being "sold"
04:34 schestowitz[TR]; anddd then musk hauled to court
04:34 schestowitz[TR]; forced to buy a dud
04:34 phanes; i think that people who complain about things like that are just people who don't have that capability. they grow like mushrooms between the tiles in the office kitchen.
04:34 schestowitz[TR]; because of egoistic impulsive buying
04:34 schestowitz[TR]; in a few years few will remeber twitter existed
04:35 DaemonFC; It says closing on a house typically takes 4-8 weeks.
04:35 DaemonFC; But this isn't a house.
04:35 schestowitz[TR]; yeah, same here
04:35 schestowitz[TR]; 1-2 months
04:35 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: it's a large house
04:35 schestowitz[TR]; "building"
04:35 DaemonFC; Now that I know he's accepted an offer, I plan to monitor the situation and not send my rent check in until the end of next month.
04:36 DaemonFC; He's actually selling two buildings.
04:36 DaemonFC; One with 20 units and a second smaller one with 6.

04:37 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> Thanks to you we know the nature of his relationship.
04:37 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> > Can you tell me why you've both left now? You couldn't tell me before
04:37 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> > and all we were told by xxxxx is that you have left!
04:37 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> I was being picked on, accused of something I didn't do and did not even know about. So I resigned.
04:37 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> > Now xxxxxx is gone, xxxx is the only CEO and has been working double
04:37 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> > shifts as there is no-one else. However a new guy has just been employed.
04:37 schestowitz[TR]; <schestowitz[TR]> Maybe he doesn't know what's really happening and will find out over time.

04:37 TR Bot; Sirius Open Source - Techrights
04:37 schestowitz[TR]; all the other gossip is a side show
04:38 phanes; honestly in your situation id spend a few years building your credibility up
04:38 schestowitz[TR]; did you?
04:38 schestowitz[TR]; i think you wrecked yours
04:38 phanes; you often pick up on the right things, but everyone once in a while you go wayyyyy off into "objectively wrong" category
04:39 schestowitz[TR]; and you hhhharmed your former "employer"
04:39 schestowitz[TR]; 10 days of employment
04:39 schestowitz[TR]; not even udging your politics
04:39 phanes; that is a narrative you've hoped to create
04:39 schestowitz[TR]; just your actions
04:39 schestowitz[TR]; i saw what you did
04:39 schestowitz[TR]; and kept the irc logs
04:39 phanes; lots of people did
04:39 phanes; you seem like a guy who collects books but doesn't know what theyre about
04:40 phanes; high information, low understanding
04:40 schestowitz[TR]; http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/freenode-takes-control-of-fsf-channel.txt
04:40 schestowitz[TR]; http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/fsf-channel-canceled.txt
04:40 phanes; yep
04:40 schestowitz[TR]; that's your legacy in irc
04:40 phanes; 'twas me
04:40 schestowitz[TR]; being a "twat"
04:40 schestowitz[TR]; misusing admin access
04:40 schestowitz[TR]; given to you by Andrew Lee
04:40 phanes; oh did i?
04:40 schestowitz[TR]; and then you lost your jobb
04:40 phanes; o rly?
04:41 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
04:41 schestowitz[TR]; contract not extended
04:41 phanes; that's a new one, how did you come up with that theory
04:41 phanes; it didn't expire
04:41 schestowitz[TR]; so he still pays you a salary every month?
04:41 phanes; nope, i canceled it like 10 days in
04:41 schestowitz[TR]; haha
04:41 schestowitz[TR]; so I'm right
04:41 phanes; no you're grasping at straws
04:41 schestowitz[TR]; so you acted bad
04:41 schestowitz[TR]; and left
04:42 phanes; i think the hope is that you might bait me into breaking my nda
04:42 schestowitz[TR]; and no sanse person would give you IRC mods/ops
04:42 schestowitz[TR]; *sane
04:42 schestowitz[TR]; the nda does not matter much anymore
04:42 phanes; have you practiced crying in a mirror while saying this
04:42 schestowitz[TR]; freenode is languishing
04:42 schestowitz[TR]; <techrights-news> freenode fell to just over 8k users online. Many of them might be inactive. IRC networks in general still going strong, just more widely distributed. https://netsplit.de/networks/statistics.php?net=freenode 513 networks https://netsplit.de/networks/
04:42 TR Bot; NO TITLE
04:42 TR Bot; NO TITLE
04:43 schestowitz[TR]; you were being an insecure builly
04:43 schestowitz[TR]; in the fsf channel
04:43 phanes; that's a new one
04:43 phanes; how so?
04:43 schestowitz[TR]; and this is what many people still remember you for
04:43 phanes; no its a narrative you think you will bait me
04:43 schestowitz[TR]; you reinforced the bad image social ccontrol media had painted about you
04:44 phanes; hrmmmm nope i think i beat that too
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; you fell into their trap
04:44 schestowitz[TR]; or maybe that's just who you are
04:44 phanes; see the problem with your theories is that you don't take into account that im a winner, i have always won, and i will always continue to win.
04:44 phanes; its like plot armor
04:45 phanes; so when you do this confidence phishing to try to bait me into giving you details to report in violation of an nda, its more amusing then the heated implosion you are hoping to create
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; bluster
04:46 phanes; all people are created equal. i genuinely believe that. but after you live a certain amount of time after being born, you get better at some things and worse at some things than others.
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: colleagues lost money
04:46 schestowitz[TR]; and were lied to
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; also by the pension provider
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; not just the company
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; so they too are culpable
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; and would likely try to cover this up:
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; > Hi, the only other person I knew about who was on the standard life plan
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; > was xxxxxx, and she was only paying into it for a couple of months so
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; > wasn't particularly interested in chasing it.
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; > I contacted Standard life about it when I left, they said that the
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; > pension fund has been moved to another provider but could not tell me
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; > any more details as I didn't have my plan number.
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; They told me the same thing this year.
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; When I gave them my plan number (I have the official papers) they pretended not to see it.
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; The manager said it was transferred out in 2016 but kept saying "my hands are tied unfortunately" (which meant she knew something but refused to tell me). I phoned them several times, spent hours on this. There's something truly rotten going on.
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; Do you have E-mail contacts with other former staff? Seems possible xxxxxxx stole like 100,000 pounds and he is now hiding in the US, thinking he's above the law.
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; We need to take collective action, but I need to get in touch with those impacted. Let me know of any contact details of others, I'd pursue this for you (and us).
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; Regards,
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; --------
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; it's false that it was "moved"
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; or maybe it moved only for a few managers
04:47 schestowitz[TR]; the cabal
04:48 schestowitz[TR]; while the rest had been embezzled for over 5 years
04:48 schestowitz[TR]; they are investigating this nnnow
04:48 schestowitz[TR]; and their utmost priority will be
04:48 schestowitz[TR]; covering up their own role in it
04:48 schestowitz[TR]; hence, effort will be needed
04:48 phanes; schestowitz[TR], but all that aside i dont want you to think i have doubts about your intent -- i think you are someone who tries to do the right thing but doesn't have the coherency to do it as you struggle with ambiguity
04:49 phanes; not a great place to be if your occupation is in the journalism space. good for tabloid cred. bad for truth.
04:49 phanes; well, sometimes. you're going to be right sometimes.
04:49 phanes; your whole epistemology is busted bud
04:51 phanes; dirty filter, maybe though, sounds like you've dealt with some pretty toxic shit
04:53 schestowitz[TR]; bluster aagain
04:53 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, from what I saw you are more a poser than anything
04:53 schestowitz[TR]; inc. your nickname
04:53 phanes; yet, somehow, the most truthful thing either of us have said to each other all night
04:53 schestowitz[TR]; "lord bagira"
04:53 schestowitz[TR]; <phanes> see the problem with your theories is that you don't take into account that im a winner, i have always won, and i will always continue to win.
04:54 phanes; indeed
04:54 schestowitz[TR]; that's like charlie sheen onnn dope
04:54 phanes; you don't give me enough credit. it's hard to win, even most of the time.
04:54 schestowitz[TR]; what did you accomplish?
04:54 phanes; it takes a shitload of time and energy
04:54 phanes; and focus
04:54 phanes; and will
04:54 phanes; you take alot of hits in the process
04:55 phanes; you have to be tough to be a winner
04:55 phanes; as to what i accomplished -- exactly what i set out to.
04:55 phanes; and that's a consistent theme.
04:55 phanes; so
04:55 phanes; having said that
04:55 phanes; i want you to seriously ask yourself something
04:55 phanes; "would someone like that care about my conspiracy theories about them"
04:56 phanes; it's one thing to ask questions because you don't know
04:57 phanes; it's another entirely to be dumb and pedal some dumbass evil villain theory by filling in the gaps with toad shit journalism
04:57 phanes; i know that's harsh to hear, but you need to hear it. your approach on this was weak.
04:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
05:00 phanes; it's lazy thinking
05:08 schestowitz[TR]; sorry, was away
05:08 schestowitz[TR]; catching up
05:08 schestowitz[TR]; <phanes> it's another entirely to be dumb and pedal some dumbass evil villain theory by filling in the gaps with toad shit journalism
05:08 schestowitz[TR]; i did not follow the false consensus
05:09 schestowitz[TR]; but instead checked the facts
05:09 schestowitz[TR]; the way freenode was being run by May and June made it clear
05:09 phanes; no, we're not in the realm of facts discussions here
05:09 schestowitz[TR]; it was fitting the warnings about it
05:09 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], 52 year old building with bad plumbing.
05:09 DaemonFC; Neighborhood not up and coming.
05:09 DaemonFC; Limited prospects.
05:09 schestowitz[TR]; i am looking into the pension scandal atm, btw, and it takes hours to get all the right facts.
05:09 DaemonFC; I think probably the worst case is that they take it over and raise rent a bit, or try to.
05:10 schestowitz[TR]; we'll contact ALL clients if police case # is issued, for clients to be aware of the criminal nature of it
05:10 schestowitz[TR]; not based on what pension companies say but the state (police)
05:10 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: from what I saw it cannot be converted into anything else
05:10 schestowitz[TR]; other than tenanted units
05:11 phanes; schestowitz[TR], like i said, and again I do NOT mean this in a mean way, spend a year building up your credibility and when the NDA expires I'll be allowed to discuss the details (unless they pay me to sign another, but it would have to be a decent chunk of change and I doubt anyone would need it that bad)
05:11 DaemonFC; Pretty much.
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; we don't know why he is seling
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; andard to verify
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; could be
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; 1) he is going broke, needs cash
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; 2) tried of handling this place
05:11 DaemonFC; This building is probably breaking him. He's probably losing money on this one building.
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; 3) moving to another country
05:11 DaemonFC; Why else would he just sell this one?
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; 4) divorce/acancel diagnosius
05:11 DaemonFC; He's still signing leases at his others.
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; *cancer
05:12 schestowitz[TR]; maybe he puts the others on sale too
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; i'm preparing two more lengthy posts about the pension situation
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; weeding out the gossip
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; to focus on known facts
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: the sale would be no good for youl
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; no matter what
05:13 schestowitz[TR]; no silver liniung
05:13 DaemonFC; It's not always bad.
05:14 DaemonFC; It's not necessarily any worse than dealing with him.
05:14 phanes; <schestowitz[TR]> weeding out the gossip
05:14 phanes; <schestowitz[TR]> to focus on known facts <--- perfect
05:14 DaemonFC; I don't know what they think they're getting here, but this building is a major problem.
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; lots of people involved
05:14 schestowitz[TR]; but i became like the "mouth"

06:39 lord_bagira; well that depends. if you want to be seen as a tabloid, then post what you think people who already agree with you will want to read. if you're wanting to be seen as a credible source of insight in the tech space then you'll post the reality of it. It's a one paragraph, dry, boring article about layoffs.
06:43 lord_bagira; schestowitz[TR], i'll teach you some math. microsoft had about 163,000 employees before the panedmic. as a virtue signal they ramped up workforce during the pandemic to 221,000. Now the pandemic is easing off into a new economy and they've made plans, not yet fully realized, to lay off 10,000 employees. What you're drumming up controversy over accounts for less than 5% of their workforce
06:44 lord_bagira; and really you're talking about like 700 here, 500 there like it's some big deal and "signs of failure"
06:44 lord_bagira; and not the 10,000 they plan on
06:44 lord_bagira; this is what i mean about credibility
06:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], None of these apartments is desirable for a family.
06:49 DaemonFC; They are all one bedroom.
06:49 DaemonFC; Nobody here has kids.
06:49 DaemonFC; That sort of limits the value by itself.
06:50 DaemonFC; You start having kids, you need more bedrooms. More bedrooms are in high demand, and that jacks the rent up sky high.
06:50 DaemonFC; If you have a kid, you eventually need a two bedroom apartment, and then you've just added about $500-600 a month to your rent.
06:50 lord_bagira; so buy a house
06:51 DaemonFC; It gets really expensive to try to do anything in this country, so there's no point even trying.
06:51 lord_bagira; you can get a decent 4 bedroom house for 400k in the us
06:51 DaemonFC; Let the politicians who are freaking out about military recruitment figures figure out where the kids are going to come from.
06:51 DaemonFC; They aren't doing shit for you.
06:51 DaemonFC; Why should you pay half a million so they can have another war and send you children?
06:52 lord_bagira; you should send your children
06:52 lord_bagira; there's an ugly truth underneath that uglier vision
06:52 DaemonFC; The government is freaking out about "fertility" because countries with declining populations have a really hard time committing to war.
06:53 DaemonFC; There's a reason why the Nazis put in so many reproduction subsidies.
06:53 DaemonFC; Like the Nazi Marriage Loan, and others.
06:53 lord_bagira; well they should've thought about that before creating a central point of failure in the global food supply chain
06:53 DaemonFC; Each time you had a kid, it forgave 1/4 of the loan.
06:53 DaemonFC; And it was a very generous loan.
06:53 DaemonFC; Child Tax Credits are basically a variation on the Nazi Marriage Loan.
06:54 lord_bagira; i hear hitler also drank water
06:54 lord_bagira; even orange juice
06:54 lord_bagira; knowing that these farms still produce it, its like they want the germans to win
06:55 DaemonFC; I don't drink orange juice much.
06:55 DaemonFC; Unless it's from Mexico or Brazil.
06:56 lord_bagira; i think you're smart enough to pick up what im laying down
06:56 lord_bagira; if you demonize the whole of your enemy you'll miss out on adaptations they've made that benefit you
06:56 DaemonFC; They wanted Germans to have big families so they could bolster their army in the coming decades and continue invading other countries and taking everything.
06:56 lord_bagira; so did we
06:57 lord_bagira; i think you're overlooking how we brainfucked 3 generations of people to mass-produce children in a propped up war economy
06:58 lord_bagira; it was incredibly effective. i just got half a chub thinking about rosie the riveter.

08:40 DaemonFC; I've read about people signing a lease and the building gets sold two days later.
08:41 DaemonFC; Landlords will keep renting until they sell the place and hand the new owner the keys. Until the deal closes, they don't know what they have and that could have been months of leaving a unit empty.

11:23 schestowitz[TR]; you have Russian ISP

11:24 XRevan86; Which isn't sanctioned either.
11:24 schestowitz[TR]; for now
11:24 schestowitz[TR]; yet
11:24 schestowitz[TR]; remember what they did to a debian dev who used tor

11:27 schestowitz[TR]; so you are at risk from russia
11:27 schestowitz[TR]; and at risk from opponents of russia
11:27 schestowitz[TR]; for different reason
11:27 schestowitz[TR]; for tfirst, due to how you think

11:30 XRevan86; schestowitz: It's more worthwhile to track how organisations like acf.international are doing.
11:32 XRevan86; schestowitz: Navalny the film won BAFTA and an Oscar. It's also a display of what stance the world has towards Russians.

11:39 XRevan86; schestowitz: The Ukrainians are not very happy about it, by the way.
11:40 XRevan86; They wanted a much higher focus on the war and the tragedy that Ukraine is enduring rather than a piece about the Russian internal politics.
11:41 XRevan86; But it really could very well have been neither %).
11:56 schestowitz[TR]; THOSE AWARDS TOO ARE CASULTIES
11:56 schestowitz[TR]; caps by accident
11:56 schestowitz[TR]; of political meddling
11:56 schestowitz[TR]; like "nobel for peace"
11:57 schestowitz[TR]; they coopt brands
11:57 schestowitz[TR]; like tesla
11:57 schestowitz[TR]; oscars
11:57 schestowitz[TR]; antonov
11:58 XRevan86; schestowitz: I knew ye'd say that, but no one told the Motion Picture Academy members how to vote.
11:58 schestowitz[TR]; Klychko
11:58 schestowitz[TR]; Klitschko
11:59 XRevan86; And even if it were "political meddling", even in that case it's projecting a political stance that could have been very different.
12:00 schestowitz[TR]; it means showbiz becomes politics
12:00 schestowitz[TR]; and subversive
12:00 schestowitz[TR]; hiphop used to be life class activism
12:00 schestowitz[TR]; now it's inddustry
12:01 schestowitz[TR]; and co-opted by the politics opposed to what it used to be
12:01 schestowitz[TR]; sort of like free software vs open source
12:03 XRevan86; schestowitz: Would ye have preferred to centralise the process of nomination and voting to avoid that going forward?
12:04 XRevan86; Some kind of restriction on what films are allowed to be nominated.
12:04 schestowitz[TR]; those awards can be shunned
12:04 schestowitz[TR]; they are not necessary
12:04 schestowitz[TR]; acting is not a sport
12:04 schestowitz[TR]; directing is not a sport
12:05 schestowitz[TR]; and not much to be measured
12:05 schestowitz[TR]; tthey are art forms
12:06 XRevan86; What is worthy and what isn't is besides the point.
12:07 XRevan86; Top-down and bottom-up politics are two very different things.
12:07 schestowitz[TR]; same for journalism
12:07 schestowitz[TR]; lots of the awards there are fake
12:07 schestowitz[TR]; given for political gain
12:07 XRevan86; I am telling you there was no executive decision that made "Navalny" win the Oscar.
12:08 schestowitz[TR]; SUSE kept buying "awards" and "endorsements"
12:09 schestowitz[TR]; it's an extension of the marketing 'industry'
12:09 schestowitz[TR]; XRevan86: some people have veto powers in Oscars(TM)
12:09 schestowitz[TR]; they would not allow an "anti-Amercan" film to win anything
12:10 XRevan86; I.e. a lack of an executive decision is an execute decision
12:10 schestowitz[TR]; you could equally claim twitter has no executive decisions
12:10 schestowitz[TR]; on "content"

21:54 TR Bot; GCC's new fortification level: The gains and costs | Red Hat Developer
21:54 DaemonFC; This is the default in Fedora 38 on all RPMs and Fedora Flatpaks.
21:55 DaemonFC; Seems like a significant improvement that forced them to go fix some POSIX non-compliance bugs in glibc.
21:56 DaemonFC; "In this short study, we found that _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 improved fortification by nearly 4 times. For example, the Bash shell went from roughly 3.4% coverage with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 to nearly 47% with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3. This is an improvement of nearly 14 times. Also, fortification of programs in sudo went from a measly 1.3% to 49.57% a jump of almost 38 times!"
21:56 DaemonFC; This has made its way into the default build flags for Firefox and GNOME Web/WebkitGTK.
21:59 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Looks like you were right again.
21:59 DaemonFC; About the landlord spooking tenants.
21:59 DaemonFC; He just lost another one of those "throw everything in or near the dumpster and run" people.
22:01 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], He might still get enough that spooking the tenants was worth it even if the deal goes south.
22:01 DaemonFC; If the buyer reneges on a contract without a valid reason, he gets to keep the money they deposited in escrow.
22:02 DaemonFC; Which can be a tidy sum even if it's just 1% of his asking price.
22:02 DaemonFC; The buyers may end up having to pay him more than $24,000 for nothing. "The cost of wasting my time with you."
22:04 DaemonFC; They have to "find something seriously wrong and unanticipated" during the "due diligence" phase, typically, or they lose their "earnest money deposit", which can typically be 1-5% of the agreed amount.
22:04 DaemonFC; I have no way of knowing what the escrow was, but a range of $24,000 to $120,000 is likely.
22:05 DaemonFC; So they have an incentive to either complete the deal or find a way that satisfies the contract for fleeing from it.
22:31 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I sent this to Wordpress.
22:31 DaemonFC; Hello,
22:31 DaemonFC; This is regarding the deletion of my blog at baronhk.wordpress.com.
22:31 DaemonFC; Again, I ask that it be undeleted. Apparently, I sent an email to the wrong address, because you've gone out of your way to hide how to contact someone in addition to just randomly deleting people's blogs due to them embarrassing Microsoft and commenting about Apple and proposed laws in an unfavorable light.
22:31 DaemonFC; I can't see how you would have legitimately decided to suspend my account and went ahead and deleted it figuring that this was some sort of corporate censorship being imposed on me due to someone from Apple or Microsoft complaining that my articles frequently discuss them unfavorably.
22:31 DaemonFC; If you would restore the blog, I'd appreciate it.
22:31 DaemonFC; Of course, after this entire incident, I've lost a lot of confidence in your company to handle situations appropriately and have blogged extensively on Mastodon about being suspended by Wordpress.com unjustly and losing my entire blog for having insulted Apple, allegedly a "trillion dollar company" whose corporate goons apparently have nothing to do except get in touch with Wordpress to censor an article of mine that maybe hundreds of people on
22:31 DaemonFC; Earth will see.
22:31 DaemonFC; Perhaps you can enlighten me as to how I violated your terms of use, by pointing out the actual terms, instead of just saying "the terms", when I commented on an NBC news article about a proposed bill that would mean the iPhones and iPads would just blur the screen and make people report to a government-affiliated age verification system that they're watching porn?
22:31 DaemonFC; That seems to be very creepy of Apple and a subject of interest to the public who will be affected by government and corporate overreach.
22:31 DaemonFC; Thank you.
