00:00 DaemonFC; So I can say "I don't live with ghetto people." "Hey, we're broke, we're up to our eyeballs in debt we can't pay, but at least we're not GHETTO PEOPLE." -MARISOL
00:00 schestowitz[TR]; that's credit mindset
00:00 schestowitz[TR]; credit=debt
00:00 schestowitz[TR]; euphemism
00:00 schestowitz[TR]; they have other euphemisms
00:00 DaemonFC; "Oh look, the hospital knocked me over the head with a job that pays less and cut my hours. Now we're going under. Sweet sweet death!"
00:01 schestowitz[TR]; to make indebtitude sounds like a privilege and a prize

00:01 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: can she eat dog?
00:01 schestowitz[TR]; many people can no longer sustain them, their food too gets expemsive
00:02 schestowitz[TR]; the other week we saw heavily discounted doog food
00:02 DaemonFC; Might have to eat her dog soon, lol The one that's cost them lawsuits for biting people, including the instructor that they paid $1,000 to. Bit him too, lawsuit.
00:02 schestowitz[TR]; like 75% off
00:02 DaemonFC; That's expensive meat.
00:02 schestowitz[TR]; but we don't have a dog... yet
00:02 DaemonFC; You know, some people in the world would be fortunate to eat $6,000 meat like that.
00:03 *AdmFubar (~mradmin@ngqaam7baxnug.irc) has joined #techrights
00:03 DaemonFC; Stupid fucking dog.
00:03 DaemonFC; Get me sued. See what happens!
00:03 DaemonFC; I'll make MARISOL's dad in the back yard look mild!
00:03 DaemonFC; No, I wouldn't.
00:04 DaemonFC; But it would be a car ride to the animal shelter.
00:04 DaemonFC; They can give it a shot to "make it go to sleep".
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; this is very off topic anyway :/
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: can you advise me on how you use tuxmachines?
00:04 DaemonFC; She has a bad life. It's what happens when you're a big fat greedy fuck.
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; like how, which pages, entry point?
00:04 schestowitz[TR]; I am refactoring the front page/s
00:05 DaemonFC; main page usually
00:05 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: I have an article for you
00:05 schestowitz[TR]; I sent it to rianne 2 days ago
00:05 DaemonFC; SeaMonkey doesn't like you, but neither does Firefox.
00:05 DaemonFC; SeaMonkey doesn't try to force HTTPS though.
00:05 schestowitz[TR]; https://www.epistem.ink/p/in-defense-of-making-money
00:05 TR Bot; In Defense Of Making Money - by George - Epistemink
00:05 schestowitz[TR]; ignore the title
00:05 DaemonFC; Oh, GNOME Web won't load your pages over HTTPS.
00:06 DaemonFC; It just sits there and does nothing. I think the tab titles itself "Security Content Violation".
00:06 DaemonFC; But it just sits there rendering the last site you were on.
00:06 schestowitz[TR]; so we should not link to https
00:06 schestowitz[TR]; in fact, maybe I should modify some stuff
00:06 DaemonFC; It creates a problem in browsers that don't force HTTPS.
00:07 DaemonFC; At least SeaMonkey and GNOME Web.
00:07 DaemonFC; You could fix those for now by linking to HTTP.
00:07 DaemonFC; Firefox defaults to HTTPS-Only Mode now I think.
00:07 DaemonFC; But the user can easily override it.
00:08 starstreak; cowabanga
00:08 schestowitz[TR]; Firefox or just librewolf?
00:08 schestowitz[TR]; the www will die before they can enforce that
00:08 DaemonFC; Browsers really don't like self-signed.
00:09 schestowitz[TR]; those browsers are defective then
00:09 schestowitz[TR]; and funded by bad companies
00:09 schestowitz[TR]; liek Gulag Summer of Labour
00:09 DaemonFC; "The precise error was: Peer failed to perform TLS handshake: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated."
00:09 DaemonFC; GNOME Web
00:11 DaemonFC; Going HTTP, it displays an exclamation in the padlock area and says "This site has no security. An attacker could see any information you send, or control what you see.".

00:22 starstreak; i use brave for the web and lagrange for gemini
00:22 starstreak; i also use a lot of tor browser too
00:24 schestowitz[TR]; tor is very strict on https
00:24 DaemonFC; It should be.
00:24 starstreak; yeah cuz u want to encrypt your web traffic
00:25 DaemonFC; It seems like most of the FBI's earlier attacks on Tor were mainly successful due to other problems.
00:25 DaemonFC; Like users shoving in NPAPI plugins that it couldn't secure or the fact that until 2015, it had no auto-updater so anything they discovered would threaten some Tor users.
00:26 schestowitz[TR]; auto-update is itseelf a risk
00:26 DaemonFC; They probably still succeed in unmasking people, but I'm pretty sure that with automatic patching and no NPAPI, it's a lot harder.
00:26 schestowitz[TR]; they can plant a tampered version of it tailored for you
00:26 schestowitz[TR]; and you need to trust the upstream server
00:26 starstreak; arch linux manages my tor browser, not auto update
00:26 schestowitz[TR]; which might be some proprietary thing or an FBI mole
00:27 DaemonFC; There's a Tor Browser bundle management system for Fedora.
00:27 schestowitz[TR]; fedora=icbm
00:27 schestowitz[TR]; big nsa coordinator
00:27 DaemonFC; "Tor Browser Launcher is intended to make the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) easier to maintain and use for GNU/Linux users. It downloads the same TBB from torproject.org that everyone else uses, and it doesn't alter it in any way. But it does make it much more usable, and it makes the task of keeping it up-to-date more secure."
00:27 starstreak; i stopped using icbm

00:30 schestowitz[TR]; some systems cannot support http
00:30 schestowitz[TR]; and hence sites block them
00:30 DaemonFC; Browsers may still force HTTPS, but at least if they don't it won't do nothing or scare the user.
00:30 schestowitz[TR]; you cannot log in with passwords and stuff to that site anyway

00:32 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Ubuntu announced they partnered with Microsoft to package .NET in a DEB.
00:32 schestowitz[TR]; I missed the announcement where Microsott buys Canonical
00:32 DaemonFC; "We were doing amazing things in our services every Sunday. Our video, audio, and lighting were top-notch, but the problem was that it was hard to replicate without spending thousands of dollars."
00:32 starstreak; lol that would be funny
00:33 DaemonFC; Just like Jesus wanted. Lots of exciting lights and sounds.
00:33 DaemonFC; Like a slot machine.
00:33 starstreak; Microsoft Linux 24.04 LTS
00:33 starstreak; comes with Edge, Powershell and vscode
00:34 DaemonFC; Yes, Ubuntu is obviously taking money from Microsoft.
00:34 DaemonFC; That's where they've gone for "profit".
00:34 DaemonFC; They're paying them to hawk Microsoft's wares.
00:34 schestowitz[TR]; Satanic Bacon Edition
00:34 schestowitz[TR]; Satan is trademark of Microsoft
00:35 schestowitz[TR]; Canonical would sue to protect it

00:36 DaemonFC; "With that, I hope to find a church that would be willing to try Ubuntu Studio for its multimedia production needs.

00:36 DaemonFC; Time to get thrifty. The old farts are dying off and young people don't have fat wallets and huge church attendance.
00:36 schestowitz[TR]; http^^
00:36 schestowitz[TR]; pushing to git..
00:37 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], You know how much better off I'd be if I was giving away 10% of our household income to a church because I believed everything my parents said when I was a kid?
00:37 DaemonFC; We'd have no food, no car, never a vacation.
00:38 DaemonFC; And all so I could get a big fat stinking pile of nonsense every week.
00:38 DaemonFC; It would kill us.
00:38 DaemonFC; It would literally kill us to join a church and hand them 10% of our money.
00:38 DaemonFC; But even 10% isn't enough for a lot of them.
00:39 DaemonFC; It's like going to one of these hipster restaurants where they want $15 an hour for everyone and you're supposed to tip at least 30%.
00:39 DaemonFC; Used to be 15% even though they made $2.13 an hour.
00:39 DaemonFC; One or the other!
00:40 DaemonFC; I don't mind people making $15 an hour to work at a restaurant and tips are nice, but it's not absolutely necessary so they don't die next week.
00:40 DaemonFC; That's how it should be.
00:40 DaemonFC; But they shouldn't expect $15 an hour and a $20 tip on the table, taken for granted, from every customer.
00:40 DaemonFC; In fact, I think they should make $20 an hour and tipping should be banned.
00:41 DaemonFC; It's degrading. It's humiliating. It makes them wonder if their customer will be a cheap fucking bastard, very generous, or somewhere in between.
00:41 DaemonFC; I've heard from wait staff before that they gang up on the new guy and give the Christians and black people to them.
00:42 DaemonFC; Because they know there's going to be like 12 people there and $2 on the table, maybe, when they're done breaking their balls serving them.
00:43 DaemonFC; It's a bad setup. People should just pay what things cost and stay out if they don't feel like eating there.
00:43 DaemonFC; But church is pretty lousy.
00:43 DaemonFC; 10% of your income (or more!) for a product you can't see until you're dead.
00:44 DaemonFC; I feel pretty fucked when I buy a used car and then find out everything it did that drove the last owner nuts.
00:44 TR News; ZDNet: 3 articles about "Linux" in 11 days. ZDNet is dying (it's not about Linux, it's about massive decrease in output).
00:44 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: did you read the article I gave you
00:44 DaemonFC; But the total amount for a car that annoys the shit out of me but gets me where I go for the next 7-8 years is about what you give to these morons for nothing, every year.

00:45 schestowitz[TR]; I read it again, properly this time, just juuuuuuuuuust scanning bits of it
00:45 schestowitz[TR]; hmmm.... barrier needs a restart
00:45 DaemonFC; I hate tipping. I think it's vulgar.
00:45 schestowitz[TR]; pressed u once, it sent it many times
00:46 DaemonFC; I want to pay the price of the food and walk out of there, and they're your employee and pay them!
00:46 schestowitz[TR]; tipping is like fake "philanthropy"
00:46 DaemonFC; But I do tip well, probably better than GULAG.
00:46 DaemonFC; ;)
00:46 DaemonFC; And with 10% of his income.
00:46 DaemonFC; Wow!
00:46 schestowitz[TR]; instead offixing the system they make up BS and PR
00:46 schestowitz[TR]; raise the salaariesd
00:46 schestowitz[TR]; *salariess
00:46 schestowitz[TR]; or stop the sweatshops
00:46 DaemonFC; That's what a tipped restaurant is, a sweatshop.
00:47 DaemonFC; You never know when you go in that night if you'll make any money at all.
00:47 DaemonFC; And that's evil.
00:47 DaemonFC; There's a tiered system among blue collar workers, and Matthew GULAG exploits this system.
00:48 DaemonFC; First you have people who make W2 money and are not tipped and get at least the minimum wage.
00:48 schestowitz[TR]; some of them are disposables
00:48 *Luis64_gamer has quit (connection closed)
00:48 DaemonFC; Then a rung below them, W2 money, tips, unpredictable income.
00:48 schestowitz[TR]; like those 20,000 Microsoft fires now
00:48 DaemonFC; Then a rung below that, you have his Doordash pizza.
00:48 schestowitz[TR]; they maybe keep them working until age 40
00:48 schestowitz[TR]; and then go to the bottom of the scale
00:48 DaemonFC; You work, you make nothing, the IRS taxes you.
00:48 schestowitz[TR]; with 22 year olds
00:48 schestowitz[TR]; and start salaries, not even full-time permanent employers
00:48 schestowitz[TR]; to keep them on the edge
00:49 schestowitz[TR]; I heard from Microsoft thatb some people there work 60-70 hours a go
00:49 schestowitz[TR]; to the point of neglecting their kids
00:49 schestowitz[TR]; later the kids don't grow up right
00:49 schestowitz[TR]; and become a yoke on the parents
00:49 schestowitz[TR]; who neglected them

00:49 *Luis64_gamer (~Luis64_gamer@4v4vwik9pe4fy.irc) has joined #techrights
00:49 schestowitz[TR]; yes, the tax you pay oon the salary is like 40o%
00:49 schestowitz[TR]; so you work 200% capacity
00:49 schestowitz[TR]; 70 hours net
00:50 schestowitz[TR]; and half the salry goes away anyhow
00:50 *bagira has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
00:50 schestowitz[TR]; so you work 70 hours for the pay of 20
00:50 schestowitz[TR]; suddenly that doesn't seem so alluring
00:50 schestowitz[TR]; ot 70 for the pay of 25 net
00:50 schestowitz[TR]; not gross
00:50 schestowitz[TR]; a alaary of $40 an hour
00:50 schestowitz[TR]; becomes more like $14 net hour
00:50 schestowitz[TR]; net
00:51 schestowitz[TR]; $14x70 x 4 weeks
00:51 schestowitz[TR]; and so it's not that great
00:51 schestowitz[TR]; plus, they want you to loive neat the office, i.e. some expensive city
00:51 schestowitz[TR]; so a home is millions to but or 2-3k to rent
00:51 DaemonFC; I'm trying something new.
00:51 schestowitz[TR]; and that's where your fake 6-figure salaries go
00:51 DaemonFC; Biscuits in the air fryer.
00:52 schestowitz[TR]; until you turn 40
00:52 DaemonFC; Ovens waste all kinds of heat.
00:52 schestowitz[TR]; and then they sack you
00:52 schestowitz[TR]; or demote you
00:52 DaemonFC; They're a damned power hog.
00:52 schestowitz[TR]; to avoid paying severance
00:52 loner; i don't care anymore
00:52 schestowitz[TR]; yes, ovens are waste of power if you don't fill them up
00:52 Helenah; o.o
00:52 schestowitz[TR]; we stuff lots of things in them,
00:53 Helenah; What's an air fryer? o.O
00:53 loner; "like those 20,000 Microsoft fires"... the entire industry would need on or another cure
00:53 loner; not only at microsoft
00:53 schestowitz[TR]; Microsoft is among the biggest in firing right now
00:53 schestowitz[TR]; windows is dying
00:54 schestowitz[TR]; Gulag afaik stopped hiring
00:54 Helenah; o.o
00:54 schestowitz[TR]; but not firing that many
00:54 schestowitz[TR]; Oracle has firings
00:54 schestowitz[TR]; hard to say how many
00:54 schestowitz[TR]; they exploit foreigners on visas
00:54 Helenah; o.O
00:54 schestowitz[TR]; contract workers, temps...
00:54 schestowitz[TR]; they still use up pensiuon fundsa and other pysramid scama/schemes to prop up their shares
00:54 schestowitz[TR]; and buybacks
00:55 schestowitz[TR]; Bailout Biden helps some more
00:55 schestowitz[TR]; but their profitability isn't always there
00:55 schestowitz[TR]; just select products
00:55 schestowitz[TR]; the rest are gamble
00:55 schestowitz[TR]; like "metaverse and FB
00:55 schestowitz[TR]; aka 'meta'
00:55 schestowitz[TR]; they know FB is going away
00:55 schestowitz[TR]; and rename already
00:55 loner; i fear, any such cure, was prolonged far too long (dot-com bubble supposedly busted year 2000 already, in reality it never did)
00:55 schestowitz[TR]; proactively
00:55 loner; it's probably too late this time
00:56 loner; "too big to fail"... no, they failed already
00:56 schestowitz[TR]; odious brand anyway, they rebranded when francis h the whisleblower was making the brand supertoxic and they needed to break the news cycle
00:56 loner; s/prolonged/postponed/
00:56 schestowitz[TR]; the economy collapsed 14 years already
00:56 schestowitz[TR]; we just bought some more time
00:56 schestowitz[TR]; took loans, too
00:56 schestowitz[TR]; many people spent like there was really a recovery
00:57 loner; from a technical perspective, it was really bad year 2000 already, when i began studying
00:57 schestowitz[TR]; true
00:57 loner; although at that time i wasn't aware of the scale of problems
00:57 schestowitz[TR]; 90s it was "promising
00:57 schestowitz[TR]; tech careers
00:57 schestowitz[TR]; and then you go to uni
00:57 schestowitz[TR]; and the tech bubble goes bam
00:57 schestowitz[TR]; and then "picks up" again... for 7-8 more years
00:57 schestowitz[TR]; then bust
00:57 schestowitz[TR]; and now just a big bust
00:57 loner; and too i fear, not only was the whole "innovation" wrecked beyond repair
00:57 schestowitz[TR]; you cannot even buy a a computer easily
00:58 schestowitz[TR]; they say there are shortages
00:58 schestowitz[TR]; instead of saying little demand
00:58 schestowitz[TR]; as people lack money to spend
00:58 loner; too the basics, knowldege of the 1960s/70s industry vanished, most of it
00:58 schestowitz[TR]; they will blame the suppler
00:58 schestowitz[TR]; not the customer
00:58 schestowitz[TR]; bbl

00:59 DaemonFC; Not new. Microsoft made some of them sleep in data centers (very unpleasant) during COVID.
00:59 DaemonFC; In the 90s, they wouldn't let them go home. They had to keep working on IE and sleep at the office until Netscape was dead.
01:00 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I guess I'm "glad" we're where we are.
01:00 DaemonFC; Just on the upper edge of not having to pay "income tax" to the IRS.
01:00 DaemonFC; Or not very much if we do.
01:01 DaemonFC; I noticed if they cut a few of Mandy's hours, his checks don't go down very much.
01:01 DaemonFC; That's because of the tax deductions.
01:01 DaemonFC; You get to work x amount of hours and keep everything.
01:02 DaemonFC; Then you work some more hours and keep most of it. Then you work some more and they're digging into you and taking half of what you made on those hours, and eventually you might as well just stop.

01:09 DaemonFC; If you have enough money in a savings account to live for a year if you have to and cover a disaster or two that might happen, you have less incentive to be fearful and less incentive to work hard and beg for more jobs and more hours.
01:09 DaemonFC; Whereby the IRS rips you off worse and worse, and makes the effort even sicker than it already is.
01:10 DaemonFC; Meanwhile, the bosses you work for laugh because they have all these idiots making them rich and they know how to cheat on their taxes.
01:11 DaemonFC; So there's three ways (big ones worth mentioning) to make people fearful and work hard. Bog them down with kids, pay them a lot less, or induce them to spend outrageous amounts of money accumulating crap that does nothing for them.
01:11 DaemonFC; They got MARISOL with a hat trick.
01:12 DaemonFC; Even when she buys something that could theoretically be useful, like a car, for transportation, she picks one that's a gas guzzler with huge car payments from a brand that's known to start absolutely falling apart after about 4 years.

01:21 DaemonFC; https://www.npr.org/2022/08/27/1119800806/mega-millions-jackpot-unclaimed-winner-illinois-lottery
01:21 TR Bot; After a month, the $1.34 Mega Millions jackpot remains unclaimed : NPR
01:22 DaemonFC; Better claim it before the state of ILL takes the $1.34 billion and uses it on scholarships to teach children about all of the made up genders and shit.
01:22 DaemonFC; :)
01:23 loner; there's a more effective way to turn everyone gay: send them all into prison and military without access to the merely social construct of biological facts
01:24 loner; currently, they broadcast "Star Trek First Contact" on TV
01:24 loner; even better, among the Borg, offspring is bread inside incubator stations
01:25 loner; no clue, what happens to gentials, during "assimilation" into the Borg collective
01:27 DaemonFC; The Borg reproduction is contradicted.
01:27 DaemonFC; They don't reproduce sexually. They reproduce by parasitism. They turn individuals into more Borg, with a nanotech virus.
01:28 DaemonFC; They apparently only use the maturation chambers if they assimilate some children.
01:28 DaemonFC; They're not interested in individuals, they're interested in civilizations.
01:29 DaemonFC; They don't usually seem interested in wiping out entire species.
01:29 DaemonFC; If they took them all, nobody would reproduce, and eventually they'd run out of drones and everyone would be drones, which die of old age just like any other species does, if nothing else.
01:30 loner; so the Borg can only reproduce by adopting children?
01:30 DaemonFC; It's plausible that the Borg are not interested in sexual reproduction if they can leave enough survivors of each species to mate and repopulate. Then they can come back and keep harvesting them for more drones as-needed.
01:30 DaemonFC; The Borg is a juggernaut. It is patient.
01:31 DaemonFC; Maybe "assimilation" works like the Wraith in Stargate Atlantis. They leave survivors intentionally, to make more food.
01:32 MinceR; if i listened to DaemonFC, i'd believe that the dispute about how many genders are were the most pressing issue humanity was facing
01:32 loner; another curiosity with the Borg, if they got sexual desires, and some type of youporn in their collective hive mind
01:32 MinceR; s/were/was/
01:32 loner; where everyone knows the kinky things of everyone else
01:32 XRevan86; MinceR: but also: s/was/were/
01:32 XRevan86; Flip them around :)
01:33 MinceR; it's too late for me to think too much about grammar
01:33 DaemonFC; Even if 99.9% of humanity were wiped out by a deadly virus today and only 0.1% were naturally immune and survived, it would leave about 8.5 million people in the world, which is sufficient breeding stock that population recovery could happen in, what? Couple thousand years?
01:33 DaemonFC; So the Borg could come back and hit them again and leave some alone.
01:33 loner; and if two drones were assimilated, one was gay before, the other was straight, and then they must share their kinky thoughts in the hive mind
01:33 *MinceR takes some offspring from a Borg incubator station, slices it up
01:33 *MinceR spreads some butter on the slices
01:34 XRevan86; MinceR: Now I think that the original sentence has decent grammar.
01:34 MinceR; lol
01:34 XRevan86; The first was/were should be in the subjunctive, I think, not the last one.
01:34 DaemonFC; Seven of Nine is the source of a lot of Borg questions being answered.
01:34 DaemonFC; The answer is everything that you are and knew is distributed throughout the collective as is needed.
01:35 DaemonFC; Not every individual Borg has access to your complete consciousness at one time.
01:35 DaemonFC; The Borg Queen is part of a living central network that distributes the hive mind.
01:35 DaemonFC; While everything you know is in the data store, it's access-restricted.
01:36 DaemonFC; So you will live forever in a sense, in the hive mind, but that doesn't mean any of the drones will ever know everything that was in your head.
01:36 XRevan86; MinceR: Ye kind of treat both of them as a subjunctive, so it becomes nested.
01:37 XRevan86; > If I had listened to DaemonFC, I'd believe that the dispute about how many genders there are were the most pressing issue humanity is facing.
01:37 Helenah; I eat
01:37 Helenah; no??
01:38 XRevan86; MinceR: That sounds right to me. No need for a second was/were.
01:38 MinceR; i'll take your word for it
01:39 *Helenah gives MinceR a hamper of chocolates
01:39 *Helenah gives XRevan86 a hamper of chocolates
01:39 *Helenah gives DaemonFC a hamper of chocolates
01:39 Helenah; :3
01:39 Helenah; I eat now brb
01:40 MinceR; chocolates?
01:40 XRevan86; My weakest link is the perfect tense, subjunctive and possessive, on the other hand, come to me easily.
01:41 XRevan86; 80% of the time I get the perfect tense, but then there's the other 20%. But apparently many native speakers struggle too, so it's not too bad.
01:41 XRevan86; Not passing an English test any time soon.
01:49 loner; DaemonFC> Even if 99.9% of humanity were wiped out by a deadly virus
01:50 loner; if a virus was sufficiently deadly to achieve this, it couldn't spread
01:50 loner; and most virus which spread to affect 99.9% of the population, aren't as deadly
01:55 DaemonFC; It was just a thought experiment.
01:55 DaemonFC; The Borg could assimilate a lot of people and still have more when they came back later.
01:55 DaemonFC; For all intents and purposes, they did assimilate and destroy an entire civilzation.
01:56 DaemonFC; There won't be another one for thousands of years that's worthy of their interest again.
01:56 DaemonFC; 8.5 million humans is enough for the population to recover, but most humans aren't smart enough to rebuild a population.
01:57 DaemonFC; So most of the survivors would be people who have a consumer mentality and aren't really good for much of anything.
01:57 DaemonFC; Which would be ironic, because Q called the Borg the "ultimate user".
01:57 DaemonFC; mjg59_ is a user in a sense of the word.
01:58 DaemonFC; No children, attaches to things, subverts the biological imperative towards his own ends.
01:58 DaemonFC; But then again I can't come down too harshly on him for that. Which is one of the few "glass houses" things, you know.
01:59 DaemonFC; The Borg don't have children, but they do have a continuity, and a legacy.
01:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 37.11 k/sec., IPFS upstream 94.50 average k/sec., average swarm size 119.86
01:59 DaemonFC; The continuity and the legacy is that they will assimilate more drones out of a harvest of sentients on some other planet or large colony, or group of ships.
02:00 DaemonFC; And the legacy is that those people will be drones with access to the Borg collective and the root command of parasitic procreation.
02:01 DaemonFC; They don't need all Vulcans, or all Humans, or all Tellurites, or all Klingons, or all Andorians, or Tholians, or anything else, to have a sufficient sampling of that population.
02:02 DaemonFC; In fact, the survivors are likely to be the people that would detract from the Collective. In that sense, you should be honored to be worthy of assimilation!
02:02 DaemonFC; They're picky!
02:03 DaemonFC; Seven of Nine said that they rejected the entire Kazon species as unworthy of assimilation because it would set the Borg back from their goal of perfection.
02:03 DaemonFC; GULAG was remarking about how progressive Star Trek is, but is it?
02:03 DaemonFC; The Kazon were basically thinly veiled African Americans if you think about it.
02:04 DaemonFC; The producers of Voyager gave them pretty much all of the negative stereotypes.
02:04 DaemonFC; Hell, not just Americans, but in Africa itself.
02:04 DaemonFC; And....
02:04 DaemonFC; Star Trek is also problematic in other ways.
02:05 DaemonFC; The Federation is said to be "evolved" with "sensitivities" beyond what "savage" and "warlike" humans are today, right?
02:05 DaemonFC; Nobody wants for anything. Capitalism has been eliminated.
02:06 DaemonFC; Hell, the very lowliest and most useless human in the 24th century Federation lives better than Heads of State or the richest 0.1% today!
02:06 DaemonFC; So why isn't this progressive?
02:07 DaemonFC; It's not progressive because there's a group of thugs called Section 31 that the Federation doesn't openly acknowledge that does all of the illegal, unsanctioned, and nasty business needed to keep the Federation going. The "I don't want to know about that!" stuff.
02:07 DaemonFC; Kidnapping, murder, torture, worse? Section 31.
02:08 DaemonFC; It's the Federation doing it! How progressive. Yes, there was a movie about saving whales ( mjg59_ mentioned that on his Shitter) but there's also Section 31 and the Kazon Problem.
02:09 loner; "the Borg do not evolve, they conquer"
02:09 DaemonFC; And they didn't save the whales for any altruistic purpose. There's a fucking space probe that's going to kill everyone if it doesn't hear from some whales!
02:09 Helenah; cyborg
02:09 DaemonFC; They always had time travel, they could have gotten more whales.
02:10 DaemonFC; They could have gotten more everything.
02:10 DaemonFC; If the ecosystem of the 23rd century was so shitty from what 21st century humans did to it, then why wouldn't you fix it instead of using technology as a patch?
02:11 DaemonFC; Star Trek: Picard accidentally showed us the future of Bill Gates and Nathan Myhrvold if we turned over global warming and all of our other problems to him. It was the future that Q changed to make Picard serve a penance.
02:12 DaemonFC; The one where a rapacious eugenicist and Capitalist set the future for humanity.
02:12 DaemonFC; The ecosystem continued to die, and Q said, "But they never fixed it. They just tend to the corpse.".
02:13 DaemonFC; So the Federation isn't perfect, but the Main Universe Timeline would have been as bad as possible (Terran Empire shit) under the "Just hack around the ecological collapse!" "Bill Gate" timeline.
02:14 DaemonFC; They actually made a good point, by accident. If we keep treating the planet like an open sewer and letting people like Musk and Gates "fix it", we'll end up in the "Confederation of Earth" timeline or something like it, if we even live at all.
02:16 DaemonFC; Q: Thou art commanded to return to thine own solar system immediately!
02:16 DaemonFC; :)
02:17 DaemonFC; TNG had a strong opening, languished to the point where it almost should have gotten canceled under Gene Roddenberry, and improved dramatically after he died and when they were setting up DS9.
02:18 Helenah; TOS <3
02:18 DaemonFC; They were spending a million bucks an episode just restoring TNG for the Blu Rays. Or so they said. How much did they spend producing it in the first place? Nearly two full seasons worth of episodes are garbage.
02:19 DaemonFC; I find it difficult to compare the economy then and now, whereas then was 80s and most of the 90s.
02:19 DaemonFC; It was more "real" and more "sober" back then.
02:20 DaemonFC; Your company had value based on how many Cokes you could produce and how many people wanted to buy a Coke and at what price they would buy a Coke, and under what conditions. How much advertising? Coupon budgets, etc.

02:22 DaemonFC; The article you gave me mentioned raising venture capital or something. Well, that's real easy when people are taking less risk. The money is at 0.25%? Knock yourself out! You fund a lot of really shitty ideas and some of them survive.
02:22 DaemonFC; You make society eat the loss on everything else.
02:22 starstreak; im thinking about getting TNG but its like 60GB
02:23 DaemonFC; Yeah, that took forever.
02:23 DaemonFC; Humorously, it's not even really in HD.
02:23 loner; i wiped all of star trek, all the DVD i bought, and deleted it
02:23 loner; as a matter of principle
02:23 DaemonFC; It's in Blu Ray, they blew up the picture and did what they could, but it's still 4:3 aspect ratio because the way they filmed it was not compatible with true HD.
02:24 DaemonFC; There are wider angles, but there are pieces of set lighting and stuff in them, so you can't use it.
02:24 starstreak; my fav star trek is discovery
02:24 loner; star trek is propaganda and brain washing made in usa
02:24 DaemonFC; :/
02:25 starstreak; oh for the GNU/FSF/UN/Pentagon conspiracy?
02:25 DaemonFC; Look, because your government is full of idiots. Big time idiots.
02:25 loner; i bought the dvd-boxes of "big bang theory", until season 8 i think, and dumped those into the trash bin
02:25 DaemonFC; That doesn't mean that everything is someone else's fault.
02:25 loner; it doesn't deserve any better no more
02:26 DaemonFC; If they tried just what you were telling me with the natural gas prices here, there'd be riots.

02:33 starstreak; now everything is a conspiracy
02:33 loner; net-proxy/redsocks does it now... so i can statically link catgirl-irc client

02:37 loner; and then, i disposed the privoxy filtering, i think it's not necessary anymore with the browsers i am using

They'll put positive payment history on your credit file, it'll show a balance that's going down as agreed, and you can earn some interest on the side.

05:07 DaemonFC; If the IRS takes the money you just worked 5 days for free that year anyway.
05:07 DaemonFC; So I just have him take unpaid vacation and Thanksgiving and Christmas.
05:08 DaemonFC; Then we can (barely) plead low income and take the credit and not pay income tax for the year.

06:12 DaemonFC; It does no good to try to earn more money at a certain point because if you work that last week, the IRS comes back and takes it away so it's unpaid, you just didn't get to take a vacation, and work for free, to pay them. This is crazy.

11:25 schestowitz[TR]; possibly connected to them"everyone is a little racist"
11:26 DaemonFC; Possibly, but humorously, they make it so much worse, right?
11:26 schestowitz[TR]; ---common saying
11:26 schestowitz[TR]; well, here is the thing
11:26 schestowitz[TR]; if you are in program and film studios..'
11:26 DaemonFC; Because then they make that species so stupid that all they can figure out how to do is steal things and use them.
11:26 schestowitz[TR]; you impact the minds of potentially millions, soimetikmes billionms
11:26 schestowitz[TR]; so overt racism would be berated more
11:26 DaemonFC; Except that when they tried to boost a Starfleet replicator, they ended up killing themselves when they went to turn it on.
11:27 schestowitz[TR]; I think the problem was aggavated in recewnt yeras
11:27 schestowitz[TR]; I partly blaem corporaitons for it
11:27 schestowitz[TR]; they try to weaponise racism to prop up their brands
11:27 schestowitz[TR]; inn various ways
11:27 DaemonFC; But that's like, they base the species on black street gangs, then depict them as low intelligence, right? Just enough to carjack your spaceship and barely figure out how to make the radio work.
11:27 schestowitz[TR]; both positive and begative
11:27 DaemonFC; :)
11:27 schestowitz[TR]; pinkwashing = positive PR
11:28 DaemonFC; Then they go even further, and give Seven the line that not even the Borg will touch them.
11:28 schestowitz[TR]; shills like gulag and media moles are "black PR" or "dark PR"
11:28 schestowitz[TR]; they're meant to demonise the critics
11:28 schestowitz[TR]; calling them racist
11:28 schestowitz[TR]; ICBM tried to cast ther whole community as intolerant
11:28 schestowitz[TR]; it didn't go awell
11:28 schestowitz[TR]; and "master" is the microaggressoion from ICBM
11:28 schestowitz[TR]; the attacks on RMS are not just micro
11:28 schestowitz[TR]; they were outright libel
11:29 DaemonFC; The Kazon should never have happened.
11:30 DaemonFC; Aside from being completely racist, they also ruined the first two seasons.
11:30 DaemonFC; Because the producers gave up on the idea of them being the Bloods and the Crips, but not completely. And then they tried to copy and paste the idea of "Klingons" on top of this mess they opened up.

11:31 DaemonFC; The Klingons are intelligent, and they are warlike, but extremely honorable within their own code.

11:31 schestowitz[TR]; I said they would likely use that in years to come
11:31 DaemonFC; That's not compatible with a "street gang" race.
11:31 schestowitz[TR]; also: http://techrights.org/wiki/IBM#Sexism

11:31 schestowitz[TR]; in retrospect I was right in 2019
11:31 schestowitz[TR]; they would later show their hypocrisy
11:31 DaemonFC; Street gangs use rape as a weapon, they'll kill anyone who gets in the way.
11:31 schestowitz[TR]; and we had all the decent rebuttals ready already
11:31 schestowitz[TR]; based on literatgure
11:32 schestowitz[TR]; inc. edwin black's war on the weak
11:32 DaemonFC; The old school Bloods and Crips had more of a structure, where they had rules.
11:32 DaemonFC; And if you violated these rules, you'd be punished for it. They had their own "law enforcement" so to speak.
11:32 DaemonFC; Like, if you raped someone, you hoped it was the police that got you.
11:33 DaemonFC; Because if your own gang members got to you first, there wouldn't be enough pieces left for the police to identify.

11:35 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Yeah, Star Trek has been extremely racist.
11:35 DaemonFC; There was that unfortunate TNG episode that the cast tried to get cut from the Blu Ray release, and I think some streaming disservices banned it now.
11:35 DaemonFC; So if you watch it, that episode will just be missing without any explanation.
11:36 DaemonFC; That's what I was saying.
11:36 TR News; A lot of 'journalism' is nowadays PR simply because it is the only business model they've found. But when readers find out they flee, so this business model too is doomed to fail.

11:36 DaemonFC; It just gets deleted from the streaming and problem solved.
11:36 schestowitz[TR]; it's not about him
11:36 DaemonFC; We don't have to talk about racism in Star Trek anymore.
11:36 schestowitz[TR]; you attribute too much to him
11:37 schestowitz[TR]; the main issues are
11:37 schestowitz[TR]; he ousts free software proponents
11:37 schestowitz[TR]; he helps Microsoft
11:37 schestowitz[TR]; he is a hypocrite
11:37 schestowitz[TR]; and he misuses labels of peoplle whom he is misrepresenting
11:37 schestowitz[TR]; as a decoy for the real daily driver
11:37 schestowitz[TR]; but the whole racist agenda
11:37 schestowitz[TR]; is not not new
11:37 DaemonFC; Most people today would look at that episode of TNG and say "This is terrible. What the hell were they even thinking?".
11:37 schestowitz[TR]; and it is a lot bigger than some former Red Hat and Gulag programmer
11:38 *horseface (~horseface@9ucczhkmm895g.irc) has joined #techrights
11:38 DaemonFC; It does so much more harm to get rid of it than to talk about it, and to let it offend people.
11:38 schestowitz[TR]; there are many russophobic films too
11:38 schestowitz[TR]; like "Equalizer"
11:38 schestowitz[TR]; but they can say it is about nationality
11:38 schestowitz[TR]; and not race
11:38 schestowitz[TR]; of course correlations exist
11:38 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
11:38 schestowitz[TR]; and not everyone can change nationality
11:38 schestowitz[TR]; just like people cannot change race
11:39 schestowitz[TR]; also, in some religions getting out is punishable by death
11:40 DaemonFC; You can't always change your circumstances. The biggest predictor of whether or not you'll fail in life is how much money your parents have.
11:41 TR News; Holy crap, AAP (AP in Aussie) makes it seem like everything is fine and the economy "recovers"... what an utter lie. This whole "good news" vibe/jibe is NOT helping, it gives people false expectations and they end up spending (wasting) the little capital they'll need to preserve (for survival). Some even rack up DEBT, based on false prospects.
11:41 DaemonFC; It's actually not race. The reason it looks like race is that blacks were generally not allowed to accumulate wealth years ago.
11:41 techuser; I don't understand what is "success" in life
11:41 DaemonFC; So there's generational poverty at higher rates.
11:42 techuser; what to do with money if you have more than you need?
11:43 TR News; The UN estimates (new figures/studies) that after 2 years of COVID-19 number of people in starvation mode rose from over 100 million to over 800 million. Over time, capitalism fails more and more people (greater proportion), but that does not mean it fails everyone (yet). The system is on life support. It also prematurely ends the life of many in order to sustain itself (e.g. pretending COVID is 'finished').
11:43 DaemonFC; <techuser> what to do with money if you have more than you need?
11:43 schestowitz[TR]; techuser: success in life is being happy
11:43 DaemonFC; You can go Bill Gates and try to keep doubling it again and again to amuse yourself during recessions while people freeze in the winter with no heat.
11:43 techuser; techrights-news: will you be happy if we had eternal COVID-19 restrictions?
11:43 schestowitz[TR]; being healthy is also a factor in happiness, and vice versa
11:44 techuser; schestowitz[TR]: iiuc I cannot be happy
11:44 techuser; I don't remember when I was happy last time. Also, COVID-19 did damage my memory.
11:44 DaemonFC; The vaccines for it damage memory too.
11:44 techuser; I don't know what makes me happy
11:45 DaemonFC; Mom basically said that every time they give the dementia unit residents another COVID booster, they all start barking at the moon again.
11:45 DaemonFC; And it doesn't calm down for weeks.
11:45 schestowitz[TR]; techuser: the answer/solution is multi-faceted
11:45 schestowitz[TR]; not our regime tacitly admits thew vaccines were not good enough
11:45 DaemonFC; So there's no telling what these things ACTUALLY are doing to people.
11:45 schestowitz[TR]; and we need a round of news ones
11:45 schestowitz[TR]; for "omicron"
11:45 schestowitz[TR]; *new
11:45 schestowitz[TR]; my suggestion
11:46 schestowitz[TR]; 1) identify what jobs can be done from homes
11:46 schestowitz[TR]; then support companies that encourage this
11:46 schestowitz[TR]; 2) work on solutions and test them properly this time (yes, clinical trials)
11:46 *emmatebibyte has quit (connection closed)
11:46 schestowitz[TR]; we already see, based on the data, that distancing helps a HJUGE deal in lowering deaths and hospital admissions
11:47 schestowitz[TR]; distancing != lockdowns
11:47 schestowitz[TR]; forcing people to come back to the office to secure job of worthless, unproductive suits perpetuates issues
11:47 schestowitz[TR]; summer 2020 was good
11:47 schestowitz[TR]; we had well less than 1000 new cases per day
11:48 schestowitz[TR]; and maybe 10 deaths
11:48 schestowitz[TR]; at one point 0 covid-19-linked deaths for the day
11:48 schestowitz[TR]; I even went back to the gym
11:48 schestowitz[TR]; and rianne and I didn't need to fear getting infected with this new vicious virus

11:48 schestowitz[TR]; but now the gym is dead
11:48 schestowitz[TR]; I went there this past Weds
11:48 schestowitz[TR]; after 15 months not being there
11:49 schestowitz[TR]; it's a ghost town
11:49 DaemonFC; He's dead, gym!
11:49 schestowitz[TR]; all the members left
11:49 schestowitz[TR]; they don't feel safe there
11:49 schestowitz[TR]; forcibly reopening things does not always mean "good for business"
11:49 schestowitz[TR]; it's god for covid-19
11:49 schestowitz[TR]; it spreads faster
11:49 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: gym, zemlin
11:50 schestowitz[TR]; he wanted to be a rock climber
11:50 schestowitz[TR]; after he became unemployed
11:50 schestowitz[TR]; not that he's a good rock climber
11:50 schestowitz[TR]; he was just losing his mind
11:50 schestowitz[TR]; and had no skills
11:50 schestowitz[TR]; cannot code, cannot even speak too well
11:50 DaemonFC; Well if you're a bad rock climber, you shouldn't be a rock climber.
11:50 schestowitz[TR]; so he become a corporate imposter
11:50 schestowitz[TR]; like his wife
11:51 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: they have safety ropes
11:51 schestowitz[TR]; so he won't go splat
11:51 techuser; schestowitz[TR]: horseface suggests drugs
11:51 techuser; other people say drugs kill
11:51 schestowitz[TR]; zemlin will be ousted the moment he says "nein" to some powerful corporation
11:51 techuser; I mean, to be happy
11:52 schestowitz[TR]; drugs are expensive
11:52 DaemonFC; Safety ropes defeat the purpose, as weird as it sounds.
11:52 schestowitz[TR]; and they make you need treatments
11:52 DaemonFC; People derive fun from danger.
11:52 DaemonFC; In part.
11:52 techuser; you can come to his IRC network btw
11:52 schestowitz[TR]; medical and addiction-related
11:52 techuser; he talks about drugs there often
11:52 DaemonFC; Putting themselves in danger and seeing if anything bad happens.
11:52 schestowitz[TR]; techuser: irc can be fun
11:52 DaemonFC; Then doing it again.
11:52 schestowitz[TR]; it's cheap
11:52 schestowitz[TR]; you just need a dial-up level connection
11:53 techuser; schestowitz[TR]: not if there is IRCv3 cancer ruining it, and bigger cancer ruining tech in whole
11:53 techuser; or even society
11:53 schestowitz[TR]; you can download an ircv3-compatible client
11:53 schestowitz[TR]; like quassel
11:53 schestowitz[TR]; it's better than konversation, but I'm too used to konversation
11:53 techuser; evil software, evil hardware
11:53 DaemonFC; HexChat and ChatZilla support it.
11:53 schestowitz[TR]; quassel has this feature where you can see new messages across channels and networks in one place
11:54 schestowitz[TR]; I implemented that in bash, then realsied quassel already has this feature in the gui
11:54 techuser; Luis64_gamer did notice it too, while he is still a windows user
11:54 techuser; software keeps growing
11:54 schestowitz[TR]; there are articles expalining why contantly growth in code is bad
11:54 schestowitz[TR]; bad for securityu
11:54 schestowitz[TR]; bad for the environment too
11:55 schestowitz[TR]; *constant
11:55 schestowitz[TR]; or contsanmly growing
11:55 schestowitz[TR]; that's true not only in computing
11:55 schestowitz[TR]; the corporations are like this
11:55 schestowitz[TR]; and sometimes the more you give people, the more they use upo
11:55 schestowitz[TR]; power, water...
11:55 schestowitz[TR]; and then those who are poorer run out
11:55 schestowitz[TR]; or cannot afford
11:55 schestowitz[TR]; because you have a hot bath every day
11:56 schestowitz[TR]; and if they raise the prices you can still afford it
11:56 schestowitz[TR]; you still water your massivem oversized garden and use tons of electricity
11:56 schestowitz[TR]; to you, raising the price means nothing
11:56 schestowitz[TR]; same with traffic tickets
11:56 schestowitz[TR]; you just look at it as the cost of being reackless
11:56 schestowitz[TR]; and carry on speeding, breaking other rules
11:56 schestowitz[TR]; putting other people's lives at risk
11:57 schestowitz[TR]; in terms of software,
11:57 schestowitz[TR]; the rich programmers assume you have 32GB of RAM
11:57 schestowitz[TR]; so they code stuff accordingly
11:57 schestowitz[TR]; the sky is the limit
11:57 schestowitz[TR]; so the person in africa with recycled machine from 2008 cannot use x
11:57 schestowitz[TR]; cannot install thge latest browser

11:58 schestowitz[TR]; either they go broke buying a "new machine"

21:20 DaemonFC; Most people under 21 have an intense "me me me me me" attitude and they also have an incredibly unrealistic world view.
21:20 DaemonFC; Then it slowly gets beaten out of most people over the years until by 25 or 30 it's gone.
21:21 DaemonFC; Then by 35 or 40 they're just trying to eek by and not ruffle any feathers.
21:21 DaemonFC; 40's a weird age. You start having thoughts as you approach 40 like "40!".
21:22 DaemonFC; "My dad's 70. I'm only 30 years younger than my dad! I only have 30-40 years left. That's not long!"
21:22 loner; i've had this thought at 25 already
21:23 DaemonFC; My ABS module on the Buick is complaining again.
21:23 DaemonFC; I think it's the module/pump.
21:23 DaemonFC; That's going to be another nice expensive repair.
21:23 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: can you check draft pls?
21:24 DaemonFC; I'm debating on whether I want to replace it or yank the fuses and one of the sensors.
21:24 DaemonFC; Yanking it and driving on normal brakes while the car yells at me when I start it is free.
21:24 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> DaemonFC: can you check draft pls?
21:24 DaemonFC; Yeah
21:24 DaemonFC; The ABS module isn't part of the normal braking system. It basically controls two things.

21:25 DaemonFC; It pumps the brakes if you go into a skid to prevent the brakes from locking. And the newer ones cut the throttle down to prevent wheel slip.e
21:25 DaemonFC; They cost a fortune to service and people used to just learn to drive.
21:26 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I ordered some repair parts for my Sony headphones.
21:26 DaemonFC; The MDR-7506 tends to last forever, but the ear pads don't. Those need swapped every 5 years or so.
21:26 DaemonFC; Sony wants $35 for those, but some company in China sold me a pair for $7.50 so we have a winner.

21:39 DaemonFC; This Elton John compilation is pretty good.
21:39 DaemonFC; They didn't do a bad job with it. I'm surprised.
21:40 DaemonFC; Normally, they go back and it's like Fleetwood Mac where they had the proper "loudness" in the 90s, but if you get the ones from the 2000s it's bad and if you get the one from the 2010s it'll blow the headphones off your ears and you're deaf now.
21:41 psydruid; Elton John lost some of his credit with me when I learned that he made songs with the likes of Britney Spears
21:41 starstreak; I love Britney Spears
21:41 psydruid; but maybe I don't understand US pop culture
21:41 starstreak; I actually picked the name Britney because of Britney Spears
