09:10 loner; those were shown on TV, NASA attached some plastic breasts to those
09:12 loner; anyway, the artemis probe will orbit earth once or twice, and then will take a swing into moon orbit

09:52 psydruid; what is he even talking about? CompatTelRunner?
09:53 loner; CompatTelRunner.exe is documented as micros~1 telemtry service
09:54 loner; no clue
09:57 psydruid; Mikey from Intel is running an ad emphasising that you can buy an Intel graphics card at the special price of only $139
09:59 loner; "only"
10:00 loner; for 139 i can buy for raspi type SBC
10:00 loner; *four, 4! complete computers
10:02 loner; a raspi zero 1.3 was tagged at $5, that's more than 20 of those for the price of a single Intel GPU
10:02 loner; btw. the raspi zero 1.3 is close to what i had available in year 2001 while studying, a single core with 512MiB RAM
10:03 loner; for prboom-plus, i don't need any GPU "acceleration" at all, on some slow 1.3GHz cortex a53
10:04 loner; how many MIMD cores is it with Intel GPU? 512 or more? I need that many: 0.
10:04 loner; special purpose GPU computing is crap
10:05 psydruid; that's the joke
10:06 psydruid; I'm fine with the graphics on a $5 ARM SoC, so why would I need a $139 graphics card to put in a system that only drives up the price
10:07 loner; to be fair, it's a $30 ARM SoC i am using; however i wouldn't need that either
10:07 psydruid; I started out with an MSX2 and my first PC had an Intel Pentium 200 MMX with 32 MB of RAM
10:07 loner; the performance of a $5 ARM SoC suffices, even for what i am doing
10:08 psydruid; so my Orange Pi is much more powerful than my first PC
10:08 loner; psydruid: exactly, even the raspi zero 1.3 is a very powerful computer
10:08 loner; for $5 that is
10:08 loner; meanwhile, i am still working on the tcc-toolchain integration
10:09 loner; already got some data: it's roughly twice as fast in comparison to gcc47
10:09 loner; with gentoo-portage there's lots of python clutter still, which slows things down when working 100% from source, i'll remove that too
10:09 psydruid; this is why I consider the Wintel hardware industry a scam
10:09 loner; and then, a raspi 1.3 zero will suffice, to work 100% from source
10:09 psydruid; it may not always have been that way, but it is now
10:10 loner; it was rather bad already, 20 years ago, although at that time i was too young to comprehend the scale of corruption and insanity of this industry
10:10 loner; psydruid: even a Gigatron TTL is more interesting than anything else IBM Wintel had to offer
10:11 loner; and that's a scale down close to Apollo Guidance Computer late 1960s
10:11 loner; that's how much time and money they have wasted, for more than 50years, to produce useless shit
10:12 loner; that's why i am looking forward to the Artemis 1 rocket launch today
10:12 loner; back to the moon, 50years later
10:13 loner; and they're not telling the truth still, why Space Shuttle was terminated
10:13 loner; NASA couldn't source required i8086 era parts anymore
10:13 loner; and related knowledge
10:15 psydruid; it must be embarrassing to them to spend billions on space programs and not being able to design and manufacture your own radiation-hardened chips

18:11 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I was reading a blog about an NFL player who was "the most egregious case of sexual harassment in NFL history", but they barely punished him because "How could they? Sexual harassment has been re-defined to anything from telling a woman her hair looks nice to groping her in the elevator or worse, so nobody even knows what it could mean anymore.".

18:12 schestowitz[TR]; so don';t use generic terms
18:12 schestowitz[TR]; even sexual assault has been diluted as a term
18:12 DaemonFC; Fears of sexual harassment means you have to be careful not to tell someone you like their shoes.
18:12 schestowitz[TR]; if you say, he grabbed her by the pussy on the plane
18:12 schestowitz[TR]; then you know what he (Trump) did
18:12 schestowitz[TR]; he strangler a woman
18:12 schestowitz[TR]; *of a woman
18:12 schestowitz[TR]; with more context
18:13 DaemonFC; Sexual harassment used to mean that someone did something really bad.
18:13 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: depends how you say it
18:13 schestowitz[TR]; the shoes
18:13 Helenah; o.o
18:13 DaemonFC; Then it kept getting re-defined to mean things that weren't so bad, and then things that are benign.

18:15 schestowitz[TR]; nobody said this was sexual assault
18:15 schestowitz[TR]; *office
18:15 schestowitz[TR]; oval office iirc
18:15 schestowitz[TR]; while he was on the phone
18:16 DaemonFC; It would be more correct to say that Microsoft's employee Jeromy Soule sexually battered an immigrant and then tried to blackmail her regarding her immigration status if she told anyone about the battery and the extortion for sex.
18:16 DaemonFC; Then everyone knows what all he did.
18:16 DaemonFC; If you say he sexually harasses women, nobody knows what you mean.
18:17 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: RMS ws staring at women
18:17 schestowitz[TR]; the fiend
18:17 schestowitz[TR]; he stares at guys too btw

18:17 schestowitz[TR]; he stares
18:17 *MinceR wonders which fiends have gaze attacks
18:17 schestowitz[TR]; and people taught him how not to stare too long
18:17 schestowitz[TR]; it is a common issue
18:17 DaemonFC; He backed her into a corner and groped her and made the threat that if she didn't submit to sex with him, then he'd get her fired, and that her immigration visa was contingent on her employment and he'd make sure she didn't find another job in the software industry in Canada. (Soule)
18:18 schestowitz[TR]; not it's spun as being a pervert
18:18 schestowitz[TR]; so instead of helping such peopel
18:18 schestowitz[TR]; they make them outcasts

18:18 schestowitz[TR]; social justice..
18:18 DaemonFC; * MinceR wonders which fiends have gaze attacks
18:18 DaemonFC; There were some monsters in Gold Box D&D that could cast a paralysis spell if they gazed at you.
18:18 MinceR; :>
18:19 schestowitz[TR]; dogs do gaze wars
18:19 schestowitz[TR]; it shows their confidence
18:19 schestowitz[TR]; until one breaks down
18:19 DaemonFC; No chance to interrupt because it wasn't a turn-based spell. The only thing that could save is if the RNG gave you a saving throw.
18:19 MinceR; there are some obvious non-fiends with gaze attacks (like medusa, basilisk)
18:19 MinceR; but i can't recall any fiends
18:19 MinceR; but there probably are such
18:19 schestowitz[TR]; the bible has examples also
18:19 schestowitz[TR]; it's a stupid superstition

19:42 DaemonFC; I like rich people though. The benevolent one that say "I should be taxed more. If only Congress would pass that law, I should like to be taxed very much!". Congress did pass a law that allows you to pay the government even when it hasn't said you owed them anything. It's called a "Voluntary contribution for the purposes of lowering the national debt.". In 1968, the law required the Treasury to set up a mailing address that you can do that

19:52 starstreak; Helenah, yes he is
19:52 DaemonFC; It was a Star Wards joke from Carl Sagan.
19:52 DaemonFC; *wars
19:53 Helenah; You're mixin Star Wars with politics how else do you expect me to perceive it?!
19:53 geert; like 'THERE IS NO RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN THIS SYSTEM', means including administrators, maintainers, owners as an example
19:54 geert; its not correct legalese, its bogus bigoted display of incompetence pretty much inviting further concernced citizenship checking
19:54 DaemonFC; I seem to remember one of those "Internet Warnings" that using the Cash for Clunkers Web site made your computer "part of a government system" and "subject to search".
19:54 geert; so one is not just legalized but most probably even required to research to eliminate possible complicity claims
19:54 Helenah; Records shouldn't simply be displayed to you in a list, you should be required to do a "search" and something either gets returned or it doesn't and you shouldn't be able to just search a single thing about a person but know multiple things such as their age, DOB, full name, etc, etc before you get permitted a result.
19:55 geert; some them fricken goons dont even get wtf they talk about i gues
19:55 geert; guess*
19:55 Helenah; That's how database systems work in the UK, in accordance to the Data Protection Act 1998.
19:55 Helenah; It prevents people at computer systems from simply being able to know all about you just because they know your first name or something.
19:55 Helenah; And it also prevents the mass stealing/prying of information by such people.
19:56 DaemonFC; He was talking mostly about the dumbing down of America and the horrors of what the "service economy" would do.
19:56 Helenah; If the US doesn't have such protective system then it's flawed when it comes to protecting peoples data.
19:56 geert; nah bogus biguted goonery trying to hide behind legit looking nonsense i guess
19:56 DaemonFC; And people like mjg59_ who work tirelessly to put "awesome technological powers" into the hands of the few who use it to exploit the many.
19:57 Helenah; And that's how I was taught to write database systems
19:57 Helenah; in accordance to the act
19:57 DaemonFC; As the nation backslides into like, mental retardation, right? By the standards of the 1970s or 1980s, most people walking around today are complete idiots.
19:57 Helenah; and I agree with it
19:58 DaemonFC; They can't grasp the language, complex concepts, facts....They fall for every pseudo-science and piece of religious bullshit they come across, or they just want to "feel good", and drugs and sex can do that.
19:58 DaemonFC; But nobody has an attention span.
19:58 Helenah; DaemonFC: Do you read what people say?!
19:58 Helenah; Fuck you dude...
19:58 Helenah; you're just ignorant...
19:58 Helenah; Not talking to you again...
19:58 Helenah; Keep spouting your fucking monologues dude...
19:58 Helenah; Fuck you...
19:58 Helenah; pfft
19:59 DaemonFC; The news interviewed me and I thought that it went well. They kept it going for like 10 or 15 minutes, right? And I thought we had a productive conversation.
19:59 Helenah; Sorry guys I shouldn't have reacted like that...
19:59 starstreak; Helenah, its okay, why don't you /ignore him like i do
19:59 starstreak; he has his own opinions and ignores data that contradicts his walls of text
19:59 Helenah; starstreak: I didn't want to ignore him, I wanted to deliver a message. I'm mentally ignoring him now I've done it...
20:00 DaemonFC; When we were done, they edited it down for sound bites. Completely changed the points I was trying to make. Got rid of most of the segments where I would use words and phrases that most people with a full high school education would have had in my time, but people today that are 10 years younger than me struggle with.
20:00 MinceR; 29 205637 < DaemonFC> And people like mjg59_ who work tirelessly to put "awesome technological powers" into the hands of the few who use it to exploit the many.
20:00 MinceR; itty-bitty living space
20:00 Helenah; MinceR: What if mjg59_ isn't actually doing that?
20:00 DaemonFC; If English goes past Third or Fourth Grade (by the standards of my generation), then half the people today are completely lost.
20:00 MinceR; \_()_/
20:01 MinceR; Helenah: he's done enough to serve the redmond mafia's agenda
20:01 Helenah; Why should I take the word of a person who just spouts monologues of opinion but doesn't listen to anyone else? I bet DaemonFC doesn't even know who mjg59_ is and does irl...
20:01 Helenah; MinceR: Ah
20:01 DaemonFC; And those are the people out there who vote and give us people like Joe Biden. Because they completely lost track of who this guy is and the crimes that he committed in the United States Senate, and how racist and homophobic and right-wing most of his legislation was.
20:01 MinceR; Helenah: also the armonk mafia's
20:01 Helenah; Ah
20:01 DaemonFC; And that he even voted us into bankruptcy with the Iraq War.
20:02 Helenah; MinceR: So he's a gangster?
20:02 MinceR; no
20:02 Helenah; oh
20:02 MinceR; he's a flunky
20:02 Helenah; Ah
20:02 DaemonFC; mjg59_ is just smart enough to be a problem.
20:02 Helenah; MinceR: I don't see a problem with that.
20:02 DaemonFC; He's one of those people who is just smart enough to do damage and crooked enough that he doesn't care as long as there's money in it for him from someone.
20:03 Helenah; DaemonFC: People call me dead smart but thanks for calling me a problem.
20:03 DaemonFC; So Microsoft loves people like this and they have a lot of them.

20:05 *Helenah clicks the article

20:05 *emmatebibyte (~emmatebibyte@efwnpwap4dm3k.irc) has joined #techrights
20:05 MinceR; and attempted to cancel him and the entire board of the FSF on that basis
20:06 Helenah; It's not unwillingness, it's that I was saying something before it.
20:06 Helenah; clicking now.
20:06 DaemonFC; People in leadership roles are often too incompetent to actually do anything useful and that's why they're there. The natural course of events is to keep promoting the useless and stupid people and give them bigger salaries.
20:06 DaemonFC; There's various reasons why.
20:07 Helenah; DaemonFC: generalisation...
20:07 Helenah; There are good leaders and bad leaders...
20:09 Helenah; right reading now
20:09 Helenah; "He has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety."

20:18 DaemonFC; Stallman hires women, the disabled, and "trans" people, and then one of them goes ballistic and crazy and suddenly he's all these things and a bag of chips, you know.
20:18 DaemonFC; Whatever.
20:18 starstreak; Helenah, +1

20:18 Helenah; Well

20:18 Helenah; thanks for sharing it because I didn't know this letter was wrote
20:18 Helenah; but I have been seeing this go on
20:18 DaemonFC; Stupid incompetent people who get fired want revenge. They know that the best way to get it is to say they were victims of discrimination against a protected class.
20:18 DaemonFC; So they abuse that.
20:19 DaemonFC; Then mjg59_ locks on like a HARM missile.
20:19 DaemonFC; Points to that and tries to destroy the same target.
20:19 mjg59_; Can you give examples of me doing that?
20:19 Helenah; starstreak, schestowitz[TR], He also thinks his Y chromosome puts him above everyone else.
20:19 Helenah; mjg59_: He doesn't
20:19 DaemonFC; Your anti-Stallman petition.

20:20 DaemonFC; You lacked any sort of credible allegations against Richard Stallman.
20:20 Helenah; So what does he really know about you, mjg59_?
20:20 starstreak; DaemonFC is just a troll
20:21 DaemonFC; I've done whatever I can to fight against the entities that mjg59_ excuses and props up.
20:21 starstreak; his job is to flood the channel with racist, transphobic and insane crap to make the channel look bad
20:21 DaemonFC; The ones that harm Free Software.
20:21 Helenah; DaemonFC: Dude, do you actually listen to what stallman has to say? Have you been following him through the years? In the early 00s a bit of misogyny or whatever probably would've just been shugged off but these days more and more women are getting into tech, the world is started to stand up against shit that Stallman promotes such as the misgoyny.
20:21 Helenah; And now in the year 2022 he's feeling a blow to the head
20:21 mjg59_; Helenah: He got into an argument with me in 2008 because he misinterpreted a firmware bug as deliberate sabotage of Linux, and it's been downhill ever since
20:21 Helenah; The thing he thought he could do cause he always did it, he's finding he now can't in these more modern times.
20:22 DaemonFC; The Outreachy program that bankrupted GNOME and caused them to have to be bailed out by Red Hat?
20:22 Helenah; mjg59_: Wow crazy
20:22 Helenah; But yeah he's arrogent
20:22 mjg59_; Outreachy literally didn't bankrupt GNOME
20:22 Helenah; just like DaemonFC
20:22 Helenah; He doesn't listen, is stuck up
20:22 DaemonFC; The anti-male mentality that's setting in where female interns need salaries and males don't?
20:22 Helenah; if he thinks something then it must be right in his mind
20:22 schestowitz[TR]; Outreachy looks good only in papers
20:22 schestowitz[TR]; in coirporate PR prortfolio
20:22 mjg59_; There was no bailout
20:22 schestowitz[TR]; in practicer no good code comkes out of it, same for Gulag Summer of Code
20:22 Helenah; Yeah you can't argue with him mjg59_
20:23 Helenah; Like you can't argue with DaemonFC
20:23 DaemonFC; Red Hat had to give them money after they squandered it all on "Outreach to Women", which is a sexist program that harms men.
20:23 schestowitz[TR]; They became a yoek on the mentor
20:23 Helenah; Just like DaemonFC, he is incapable of arguing.
20:23 schestowitz[TR]; *yoke
20:23 Helenah; He is incapable of seeing his mistakes.
20:23 Helenah; He is incapable of changing himself for the better.
20:23 mjg59_; DaemonFC: That literally didn't happen
20:23 Helenah; A guy like that? Not worth your time.
20:23 DaemonFC; Outreachy is basically affirmative action. Like reverse racism is still racism.
20:23 Helenah; mjg59_: I've seen no issue with you, not a single suspicion btw.
20:23 DaemonFC; Outreachy is sexism.
20:23 Helenah; Now I could be wrong
20:23 Helenah; it's mere observation
20:23 DaemonFC; And that makes people who support Outreachy sexist pigs.
20:24 Helenah; but via IRC and from what I see via that, I got to say I like you.

20:24 DaemonFC; There's no reason to donate to GNOME. They're not a charity. IBM Rat Crap will just give them as much money and freebies as they need.
20:25 Helenah; DaemonFC: Lol "not charity"
20:25 DaemonFC; If they squander it on politics like Mozilla does while their code is a bloated mess, oh well.
20:25 Helenah; You realise that donations help projects develop, right?
20:25 Helenah; Donating isn't all about charity...
20:25 Helenah; It's also about improving things.
20:25 Helenah; It gives developers an incentive to carry on too.
20:26 DaemonFC; Like, they could use the money to, I don't know, fix GNOME Software which literally sits there doing nothing leaking memory until it's several hundred MB and their attitude is "Oh well. My system has 32 GB and so should yours!" "We need that money to pay women interns and not men because we're sexists!".
20:26 Helenah; DaemonFC: Simple, you think GNOME sux and never gets sorted out, don't use it then, don't donate to it then.
20:26 DaemonFC; It almost makes you want to use KDE just to set aside the political crap.
20:26 psydroid2; not donating to them gives them an incentive to quit developing GNOME

20:27 MinceR; make a case.
20:27 DaemonFC; Can you provide any evidence that things were not going to be dire without Rat Crap stepping in and replacing the money they blew on Outreachy?
20:28 Helenah; DaemonFC: You don't need to support or use red hat either.
20:28 Helenah; And before you bring in the systemd argument
20:28 Helenah; you're free to not use systemd.
20:28 Helenah; By using distros which don't enforce it.
20:28 MinceR; it's telling how the ibm/MICROS~1 mafia can't be bothered to quote RMS but they're paying at least 3 people to infest this channel and spam it with nonsense.
20:28 mjg59_; DaemonFC: Money spent on Outreachy was income that had already been committed. The treasurer failed to invoice some contributors in a timely manner, which resulted in a disparity between expenditure and income
20:28 MinceR; "you're free to use the tiny corner of GNU/Linux we haven't ruined yet. for now."
20:29 starstreak; daemonfc is certainly paid to spam this channel with walls of text, racism and transphobia
20:29 Helenah; 19:28 <@MinceR> it's telling how the ibm/MICROS~1 mafia can't be bothered to quote RMS but they're paying at least 3 people to infest this channel and spam it with nonsense.
20:29 Helenah; Erm... sorry?
20:29 mjg59_; DaemonFC: At no time did GNOME's liabilities exceed its assets, as can be seen from its filings
20:29 MinceR; it's there in your buffer. if you have trouble understanding it, read it again.
20:29 DaemonFC; <mjg59_> DaemonFC: Money spent on Outreachy was income that had already been committed. The treasurer failed to invoice some contributors in a timely manner, which resulted in a disparity between expenditure and income
20:29 starstreak; Helenah, now we're being paid to be critical of someone lol
20:29 Helenah; MinceR: Yeah but which 3 people?
20:30 DaemonFC; Like Debian invoicing Microsoft and then switching their browsers to use Microsoft's search engine, DuckDuckGo?
20:30 MinceR; this is not "being critical of someone"
20:30 Helenah; Like...
20:30 starstreak; Helenah, probably you, mjg and me
20:30 Helenah; o.O
20:30 MinceR; criticism is not vaguely alleging to a few words
20:30 DaemonFC; You don't get money for nothing. When they pay these projects, it's always to corrupt.
20:30 Helenah; Lol, I have a variety of topics I like to discuss and I'm assumed to be a PR machine here for IBM?! :D
20:30 Helenah; This is like what?
20:30 starstreak; i wish i got paid to troll, that would be an awesome job
20:30 psydroid2; MinceR, what is actually meant is "you're free to use the tiny corner of GNU/Linux we haven't ruined yet. or something else. pick your poison. or don't. the choice is yours"
20:31 mjg59_; DaemonFC: So, again, when was GNOME bankrupt?
20:31 MinceR; systemd dogma >> http://islinuxaboutchoice.com/
20:31 TR Bot; Is Linux About Choice?
20:31 DaemonFC; So what you're saying is the "contributor" (probably Rat Crap) wanted Outreachy, GNOME was stupid enough to basically bounce a check based on a promissory note from "contributors" which hadn't actually given them anything yet, and could've decided not to.
20:31 MinceR; (also, apparently this is what free software is according to the cult of systemd)
20:31 starstreak; now im in a cult
20:32 starstreak; lol
20:32 DaemonFC; I can't imagine any user of GNOME would be dumb enough to make a private donation to a sexist program like Outreachy. Certainly not enough to fund it to a meaningful extent.
20:32 Helenah; MinceR: Honestly do you think I'm paid to be here?
20:32 starstreak; if anyone wants to pay me to troll microsoft and ibm channels, i will do it
20:32 DaemonFC; mjg59_, If I write hot checks and then income doesn't happen, that's actually worse than debt.
20:32 DaemonFC; It's fraud.
20:32 DaemonFC; So why do GNOME's finances work differently?
20:32 MinceR; Helenah: either you are, or you're just a useful idiot to them
20:32 mjg59_; DaemonFC: Remember that bit where I said that the liabilities never exceeded the assets?
20:33 DaemonFC; They stiffed themselves internally so important projects had no money.
20:33 DaemonFC; Which made them insolvent. The only detail is that they screwed themselves somewhere else.
20:33 DaemonFC; Like if I blew money at the casino and couldn't afford groceries.
20:33 mjg59_; DaemonFC: They were not insolvent
20:34 Helenah; MinceR: I'm confused.
20:34 DaemonFC; I'm sure anyone who was actually doing something was not pleased, but kept it to themselves to avoid vendetta.
20:34 Helenah; I haven't promoted a corporation in this discussion...
20:34 emmatebibyte; What's Outreachy and why is it sexist?
20:35 MinceR; Helenah: yeah, only their agenda and product
20:35 DaemonFC; "Hey Bob, sorry your paycheck will be late. We had to prop up a program that had no money that pays interns based on their sex organs, or what they identify as. You understand, right?"
20:35 Helenah; MinceR: Which product?
20:35 Helenah; I haven't mentioned an IBM product or agenda...
20:35 mjg59_; emmatebibyte: It's a program to fund internships to promote diversity in free software development
20:35 MinceR; systemd
20:35 Helenah; I am seriously and honestly confused...
20:35 Helenah; MinceR: I use sysvinit and OpenRC...
20:35 Helenah; o.O
20:35 DaemonFC; GNOME is so woke I could probably troll Outreachy by changing my driver's license and saying I'm a woman.
20:35 DaemonFC; Like that guy in Canada did to get his car insurance down.
20:36 DaemonFC; And even admitted it.
20:36 starstreak; Helenah, you said people were free to use a distro without systemd and that means you're in the systemd cult
20:36 Helenah; I merely told DaemonFC to do what I do
20:36 Helenah; which is support what you support and don't support what you do not support...
20:36 Helenah; That has nothing to do with the things I personally support...

20:36 Helenah; That implies I use systemd
20:36 starstreak; Helenah, im saying that is what they think
20:37 DaemonFC; The guy changed his legal gender to female to troll his car insurance company, and they had to play along and rescore the same guy's risk in their computer as a "woman" even though he was a man with a penis who was just as likely to get more tickets and have an accident as he was before.
20:37 Helenah; ...
20:37 DaemonFC; And it resulted in his car insurance goind down like 40%.
20:37 Helenah; Well the scrollback is right there if MinceR wants to go back on what they said...
20:37 DaemonFC; This is what liberals give us.
20:37 DaemonFC; Legal fictions.
20:37 MinceR; Helenah: yeah, you regurgitated the standard systemd bullshit which alleges that they've done nothing
20:37 MinceR; as if they haven't infiltrated and undermined a major former GNU/Linux distribution (debian) on which many others are based
20:37 DaemonFC; He even went public that he's a guy but he was trolling his car insurance, and they can't do anything about it because the law in Canada says he's a woman now.
20:37 MinceR; just so they could force their malware on people
20:38 Helenah; I never said they did something right or did something wrong or did nothing...
20:38 MinceR; i don't care what you use
20:38 MinceR; you might as well use whatever jim zemlin uses
20:38 emmatebibyte; DaemonFC: That's so based
20:38 Helenah; Whose jim zemlin
20:38 DaemonFC; If you can change your legal gender to commit insurance risk scoring fraud, then mjg59_ should be okay with me doing that. I want to have a talk with my life insurance and car insurance people.
20:38 Helenah; ?
20:38 emmatebibyte; People should scam insurance companies more often
20:38 DaemonFC; I'll live 3 years longer because I consider myself a woman now.
20:38 MinceR; the figurehead of the "Linux Foundation"
20:39 DaemonFC; I demand to be re-scored!
20:39 Helenah; oh
20:39 emmatebibyte; DaemonFC: you may live longer if you start taking estrogen, though I doubt you'd follow through with that
20:39 DaemonFC; I'm joking. Few men are going to go do something this stupid and contemptible just to get better insurance rates unless the rates are just SO much better that it's thousands of dollars a year, like the guy in Canada who was a high risk driver.
20:40 Helenah; What's estrogen got to do with life expectancy?
20:40 emmatebibyte; Hormones have a big influence on aging
20:40 DaemonFC; Why would I want to take estrogen? Post-Menopausal women who take HRT get osteoporosis, then the doctor puts them on Boniva or Fosamax, and that causes abnormal bone growth and fractures.
20:40 DaemonFC; Talk about dumb.
20:41 DaemonFC; Here, let's just put horse estrogen in our body when it's not supposed to be there!
20:41 DaemonFC; Because WE know so much more than our body about what it's supposed to be doing at this stage in life!
20:41 Helenah; emmatebibyte: Ah right
20:41 MinceR; more than whom
20:41 emmatebibyte; DaemonFC: I was operating in the confines of the bit you were doing about pretending to be a trans woman
20:41 MinceR; because my body certainly has no idea what the fuck it is doing
20:41 Helenah; DaemonFC: No...
20:41 Helenah; That's not true!
20:42 Helenah; My mother has osteoporosis and HRT put a stop to it!
20:42 DaemonFC; The law doesn't make me lop off my dick and take dangerous drugs to claim I'm a woman.

20:42 MinceR; search your feelings, you know it to be true.
20:42 Helenah; DaemonFC: You're dangerous to peoples health, you know that, right?
20:42 DaemonFC; It's a court order to the statistics agencies to change your legal gender.
20:42 emmatebibyte; I know
20:42 emmatebibyte; I've done it
20:42 emmatebibyte; Well, in my state it's not a court order
20:42 emmatebibyte; I just asked my doctor for a note
20:42 DaemonFC; Some states do make you do the whole shebang.
20:42 DaemonFC; :)
20:43 Helenah; DaemonFC: And you ignored that too! :D
20:43 DaemonFC; You don't need a doctor's note in my state. I can even tell the judge I'm not a woman but here's the form.
20:43 Helenah; I've seen what happened to my mother and what resolved it, you just... blindly said Estrogen does the opposite...
20:43 emmatebibyte; That's unfortunate, one of my friends was really struggling with the experience of changing its gender in its state, maybe that
20:43 emmatebibyte; --'s what it was
20:43 DaemonFC; That's what liberals have done to our formerly-great country.

20:45 DaemonFC; The Democrats are as nasty as the Republicans. They just all want to run your life in a different way.
20:45 MinceR; sounds like those "liberals" aren't liberals
20:45 MinceR; both parties are authoritarian
20:45 MinceR; they're no liberals
20:45 Helenah; MinceR: Agreed
20:45 DaemonFC; Because they either think that you're too stupid to plan your own life or because their religion is idiotic and oppressive.
20:45 Helenah; Liberal means something different.
20:45 DaemonFC; But either way, they don't care what you want to do with yourself.
20:45 Helenah; But people like DaemonFC will define terms to mean whatever they please.
20:46 Helenah; and just confuse the shit out of everybody...
20:46 Helenah; Like if I said the sky is green among a group of people but it's blue then they'll be confused by me.

20:46 DaemonFC; I'm saying that there's definitely fake trans-women out there just using Wokeness to troll society and make other people pay for their risk.
20:46 DaemonFC; Insurance scoring based on gender is fucking bullshit, and if it wasn't before, it is now.
20:46 emmatebibyte; Yea
20:47 Helenah; What's "Insurance scoring based on gender"? Like insurance policies that support a transition?
20:47 DaemonFC; There are fake trans people just gaming the insurance models.
20:47 *starstreak_win311 slaps DaemonFC around a bit with a large trout
20:47 MinceR; no, insurance policies that use gender as an input
20:47 Helenah; DaemonFC: So more ignorance? No answers to questions?
20:47 DaemonFC; Yes, the car insurance companies generally charge women between 11% and 40% less than they do an otherwise equivalent man (same other factors).
20:48 emmatebibyte; Yea, it's messed up
20:48 DaemonFC; Because "reasons". Women want subsidies and they want to make men carry them.
20:48 Helenah; So you're saying like
20:48 DaemonFC; The "extra risk" is bullshit. Women get into more car accidents, and more of those accidents are their fault.
20:48 Helenah; a man will transition to a woman for a cheaper life in regards to expenses like cars?
20:48 Helenah; I doubt there are many men who do that.
20:48 emmatebibyte; "Women" as a group don't exist
20:48 MinceR; i think he said men often don't need to transition
20:48 MinceR; they can just file paperwork
20:48 emmatebibyte; There is no singular "women" group who share the same opinions
20:49 DaemonFC; The companies come back and say "Yeah, but when men have an accident there's fragments of the car left". But I haven't seen any conclusive evidence that on an actuarial (dollar) basis, that insurance pays more money for women.
20:49 DaemonFC; Errr, for men.
20:49 DaemonFC; Women get into more accidents and cause more accidents. Men have worse accidents.
20:49 DaemonFC; But where's the proof that men cost more overall? I haven't seen any.
20:49 DaemonFC; I don't think it exists.
20:50 emmatebibyte; The solution is to get rid of cars and replace it with useful, efficient, and fast public transit
20:50 DaemonFC; Insurance companies pay more when they have more at-fault drivers in the pool because the at-fault party is liable.
20:50 Helenah; Really? So then why are the people doing irresponsible driving in the UK usually men?
20:50 Helenah; Surely safe driving doesn't cause lots of accidents...
20:50 emmatebibyte; s/replace it/replace them/g
20:50 Helenah; but speed driving, being a boy racer does...
20:50 Helenah; DaemonFC: Do you actually go outside?

20:59 DaemonFC; In fact, the higher those are, the more risk of getting sued.
20:59 DaemonFC; Because the other lawyer gets paid out of the settlement.
21:00 DaemonFC; And if he concludes you're broke and there's $20,000 in it from the insurance company, maybe, he won't touch it.
21:00 DaemonFC; But if you have a $250,000 limit, you're paying your insurance company to make it almost guaranteed the other driver finds a lawyer who will sue you for them.

21:42 schestowitz[TR]; the ISP has that history usually
21:42 DaemonFC; Under the Illinois Compiled Statutes, you only have a defense to state charges if you delete it upon realizing what it is.
21:42 schestowitz[TR]; if not the ISP, another bunch of things
21:42 DaemonFC; So to defend from state charges, you also have to break other laws.
21:42 DaemonFC; Destroying evidence.
21:43 DaemonFC; And if you raise the defense of "I destroyed it as soon as I saw what it was!" you've admitted to obstruction and evidence tampering.
21:43 schestowitz[TR]; some people stumble upon CP by accident, by serendipity. never happened to me, but I heard p2p is filled with that trash
21:43 DaemonFC; Which, granted, are better than CP convictions.
21:43 schestowitz[TR]; and some people just use bing
21:43 schestowitz[TR]; so it's another one of those laws that are like the church saying you cannot hand-play
21:43 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> some people stumble upon CP by accident, by serendipity. never happened to me, but I heard p2p is filled with that trash
21:43 DaemonFC; Depends on the P2P network.
21:44 DaemonFC; Some of the files on Gnutella and others were CP, right, because you can trade any file on those just by moving it to a folder that's marked "shared".
21:44 schestowitz[TR]; what makes it worse, fbi disseminates it
21:44 schestowitz[TR]; by running CP porn
21:44 DaemonFC; But some people also put in misleading names.
21:44 schestowitz[TR]; and trnasmitting it
21:44 schestowitz[TR]; instead of stopping it
21:44 DaemonFC; Like naming it a porno from a legitimate porn studio that makes sure everyone is over 18.
21:44 schestowitz[TR]; FBI runs CP sites
21:45 DaemonFC; Then you find out it's a guy fucking a horse or something.
21:45 DaemonFC; I've read about this.
21:45 DaemonFC; BitTorrent doesn't have Shared Folders.
21:46 DaemonFC; So it's much more difficult to accidentally share something you didn't mean to.
21:46 schestowitz[TR]; one thing for sure. if you FLY the Lolita Express AND visit epstein in prison, you look as guilty as hell
21:46 schestowitz[TR]; like Trump said of Bill Cosby
21:46 schestowitz[TR]; not Bill Clinton or Gates
21:46 DaemonFC; I'm sure that a lot of CP on other P2P networks is some idiot who doesn't even know they're sharing it. Like tax returns being in people's shares.

21:47 DaemonFC; Now that almost nobody uses P2P networks that operate like that, I'm sure it's not as much of a issue.
21:48 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], What is interesting, what I'd like to know, is how big of a problem "Cheese Pizza" is on Reddit.
21:48 DaemonFC; They suspend accounts all the time and so I'm sure they're aware that it's happening and delete it when they figure it out.
21:48 schestowitz[TR]; you cannot even talk about high-0profile pedos there
21:48 schestowitz[TR]; they censor you
21:48 schestowitz[TR]; and you get banned
21:49 DaemonFC; Yeah, but they ban people all the time for all kinds of stuff.
21:49 DaemonFC; Entire subreddits too, sometimes for being "unmoderated".
21:49 starstreak; i got a 3 day ban on facebook for sharing an epstein meme
21:49 schestowitz[TR]; what did it say?
21:49 DaemonFC; So they stick a big fat robots.txt on it, and archive.org deletes it.
21:50 starstreak; violation of community standards
21:50 DaemonFC; And then entire subreddits disappear with no archive. This is "the Web", schestowitz[TR]
21:50 DaemonFC; My Facebook has been on WARNING status for saying that the Taliban should die.
21:50 schestowitz[TR]; starstreak: what are those standards.?

21:50 starstreak; they weren't specific and I couldn't appeal

21:52 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], If you see something on Reddit you want a copy of, you download it.
21:53 schestowitz[TR]; same for "hacker" "news"
21:53 DaemonFC; Because it may not be there anymore when you come back. In fact, the entire subreddit might be destroyed by "The Moderators".
21:53 schestowitz[TR]; they delete what they cannot "monetise"
21:53 schestowitz[TR]; or what puts off advertisers
21:53 schestowitz[TR]; they run these likie censorship shops/businesses
21:53 DaemonFC; Some sites that showed you things Reddit deleted got slapped with legal threats and went away.

22:44 DaemonFC; You know, the government mugs you and then stiffs you on healthcare somehow.
22:44 schestowitz[TR]; it is not free

22:45 DaemonFC; That went away a long time ago in the private sector for the most part.
22:45 DaemonFC; The upside is there's no networks and 86% of the doctors in the country take it.
22:46 DaemonFC; The downsides are there are co-pays and a potentially unlimited amount of co-pays.
22:46 DaemonFC; That part can be worse than private insurance now if you have a really bad year.

22:47 DaemonFC; The co-pays are pretty low, but you're facing a potentially unlimited number of them.
22:47 DaemonFC; So if you end up in the hospital (admitted) you're screwed.
22:47 psydroid2; "free" healthcare in Ireland is useless, so I never made any use of it
22:47 DaemonFC; I could still be admitted into the hospital for an appendectomy and pay more for my healthcare that year than someone with an Obamacare plan.
22:48 DaemonFC; But the premiums are a lot lower than they would be for an Obamacare plan too, so there's that.
22:48 DaemonFC; I mean, nothing really is free.
22:48 psydroid2; you still have to pay some amount and then they prescribe you paracetamol
22:48 DaemonFC; Someone pays. If it's really good benefits somewhere, they take someplace else.
22:49 DaemonFC; I mean, overall I'm better off usually.
22:49 psydroid2; I was insured because my employers paid for it
22:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], One thing they do cover very well is vaccines.

22:52 psydroid2; I don't see any way for Intel to compete in the long run
22:52 DaemonFC; They can sell it again to some fool as a refurb.

23:35 DaemonFC; Probably pretty strict. They don't want to piss off the United States, which they'll need as an ally eventually.
23:36 DaemonFC; The US has been getting bolder about ignoring the Taiwan Relations Act recently.
23:36 DaemonFC; Official recognition? Not officially. But how unofficial are top level state visits?
23:38 DaemonFC; I don't think that China plans to invade Taiwan soon, but Pelosi forced a "response" by China, which now has to throw a shit fit to "look tough".
23:38 MinceR; i wonder who sees that as "tough"
23:39 DaemonFC; The logistics of an invasion would be more difficult than Russia invading Ukraine, which is why China hasn't done it yet.
23:39 MinceR; looks more like a baby's tantrum from here
23:39 MinceR; also, the orcs invading ukraine isn't exactly going well
23:39 DaemonFC; An amphibious invasion would mean massive losses.
23:40 DaemonFC; Most of the Chinese forces wouldn't even make it to the shore, and the ones that did wouldn't last very long. If China keeps throwing people at it, then eventually they may "win".
23:41 DaemonFC; Landing craft are vulnerable. Unloading vehicles is difficult during the best of times.
23:41 DaemonFC; Establishing supply lines? Harder still.
23:42 DaemonFC; Same thing by air, really. Surface to air missiles, which Taiwan has a lot of, would kill most of the Chinese paratroopers before they got anywhere close.

23:58 DaemonFC; That was 40 years worth of Sesame Street. If you have kids and want them to see Classic Sesame Street from before it got ruined and then sold off to HBO, you have to either pirate it or find video tapes.
