01:01:28 IsambardPrince; According to the NY Federal Reserve , about 60% of Americans using credit cards spend money they don’t have by carrying a balance, with interest charged accordingly.
01:01:30 IsambardPrince; Apparently, it’s not that easy. Probably because we live in a buy now pay later culture that says budgets and accountability are for old people. The majority of people you see on the city street and on social media are drowning in debt. Whole paychecks go to minimum payments and everything down to the food in the fridge is financed.

04:24:34 schestowitz[TR3]; For those who don't know him, Bryan Lunduke is a programmer that back in the day worked (and even was at the directive board) on openSUSE. We went back and forth in Linux journalism, from the Linux journal magazine to his own youtube/lbry/oddysee channels. Had great content like a yearly critique of the Linux status quo called "Linux sucks", Q&A sessions about free software, podcasts with other people like Bryant Gardiner talking
04:24:34 schestowitz[TR3]; about nerdy stuff, etc.
04:24:35 schestowitz[TR3]; But since the pandemic started he has become... a personality.
04:24:37 schestowitz[TR3]; He became more political and radical. He constantly gets in fights with people (specially furries and other peculiar people) about politics, just so apply and ad-hominem with them. In the other hand he is calling out everyone he argues the same manner with him as "antisemite" (lunduke is Jewish).
04:24:41 schestowitz[TR3]; He dropped his content off of youtube and oddysee accusing them of being bad actors becasue they host people he didn't liked and instead is running his own paid sites in which an eco chamber develops with is own ideals. Heck, even he made is own Linux conference/gathering. "

08:52:46 IsambardPrince; Unless you intend to leave your desktop pretty much the way GNOME or KDE have it set up for you, Wayland isn't going to be very useful.
08:53:31 IsambardPrince; There's also no official documentation on most of Wayland's protocols or programming interface because they know how it works and that's fine with them.
08:53:46 IsambardPrince; There's a lot of things GNOME does with it that are pretty much completely undocumented.
08:54:04 IsambardPrince; The only documentation appears to be that these interfaces exist and nobody says why.
08:54:18 IsambardPrince; It's like Microsoft-isms, where there's a bunch of undocumented APIs everywhere.
08:54:41 IsambardPrince; People find out about them, but JWZ....is basically reverse engineering something that claims to be Free Software.
09:00:18 lxo; the reasons I listed are more mundane, and applicable to users who aren't involved in development of windowing systems
09:00:39 lxo; in part because the question I was responding to led me down that path
09:00:47 lxo; but the ones you bring up are very important to
09:00:58 lxo; *too*
09:04:20 IsambardPrince; If you don't write documentation there's going to end up being less people who understand Wayland than X. Which was one of their complaints about X.
09:04:33 IsambardPrince; But X has a lot of documentation.

14:44:18 schestowitz[TR3]; were they ever?
14:44:24 schestowitz[TR3]; also, where do they claim that?
14:44:38 schestowitz[TR3]; it's capitalism that gives them the dolls and steroids and hormones
14:44:45 schestowitz[TR3]; so they depend on it a lot
14:44:52 schestowitz[TR3]; unlike anarcho-primitivists

20:36:25 IsambardPrince; It's unbelievable how Biden drained the Deposit Insurance Fund to save tech startups in California.
20:36:37 IsambardPrince; It just buys some time for junk that's likely to fail.
20:36:49 IsambardPrince; Meanwhile, it makes the entire banking system less stable.
20:37:06 IsambardPrince; Then he said no taxpayer would cover it.
20:37:12 IsambardPrince; That's technically true.
20:37:46 IsambardPrince; Bank depositors end up paying it because the assessments for deposit insurance cost banks more money, then they have to come up with less interest or more fees for their depositors.
20:39:12 IsambardPrince; The proper course of action is to come out and say "We're only insuring the amount eligible for insurance, as stated by law. These people are so stupid it's criminal and we're filing charges. Let this be a lesson to you."
20:40:03 IsambardPrince; There is always some chance that a bank can fail. If companies or an individual makes a choice to deposit uninsured money in a bank, then that part of the deposit is a gamble.
20:40:20 IsambardPrince; They always have the option of opening accounts at another bank and putting some there too.
20:41:00 IsambardPrince; There's even services that charge a bit to go automate this for very wealthy people and businesses.
20:41:41 IsambardPrince; You tell them "I have this much to deposit." and say it's like $2-3 million or something. They go open accounts at numerous banks and present it all to you in one "logical" account.
20:41:46 IsambardPrince; It's like LVM for banking.
20:42:22 IsambardPrince; Over 90% of the public does not need this service.
20:43:48 IsambardPrince; I wouldn't say Americans are just horrible about saving money. The Federal Reserve says the average checking accoung had $2,700 in it in 2022. That's an "improvement".
20:44:12 IsambardPrince; It's when you figure out how to save a dollar and the fucking landlords and credit card banks and electric company and hospital figure out how to steal that dollar and three more.

21:22:29 IsambardPrince; Tech companies are going to need the cash a lot sooner than 30 years. Most don't last 30 years. It's a very cyclical industry.
21:23:08 IsambardPrince; Warren Buffett was in the insurance business and parked cash in bills and notes, not bonds. Not much of it in bonds.
21:23:53 IsambardPrince; Insurance is a place where you can go pull in lots of money and stuff may not happen for years that hits the risk pool, and then suddenly everyone is filing claims.
21:24:12 IsambardPrince; So you want a lot of liquidity. That way you can self-insure and not buy too much re-insurance.
21:25:14 IsambardPrince; Re-insurance is basically where insurance companies go to buy insurance. They buy insurance against not being able to cover all of their own losses, and the more reinsurance they need, the less profitable they will be.
21:25:53 IsambardPrince; Lemonade and MetroMile were tech startups. They made no money, they bought lots of reinsurance. MetroMile got acquired by Lemonade, and Lemonade eventually started to grow out of needing so much reinsurance.
21:27:11 IsambardPrince; When insurance companies start out, they don't really know much about pricing risk other than they may be able to hire experienced people who have worked at other companies. It's not like big insurers are going to say what's working for them. It's a trade secret.
21:28:08 IsambardPrince; Large companies that have been around for decades know a lot about risk and if things are getting worse or better or how customers tend to deceive them on claims, and so on.
21:29:01 IsambardPrince; So all these red states that are saying climate change doesn't exist are being wipes out again. Texas is under water right now. 100 people were just swept away with no warning.
21:29:22 IsambardPrince; You got a tropical storm barreling towards South Carolina. Florida is about to go into Hurricane Season.
21:29:45 IsambardPrince; But Trump is basically dismantling FEMA and saying states are on their own.

21:30:23 IsambardPrince; Around all those warmer-than-ever oceans. Feeding bigger-than-ever storms. Nobody will sell you insurance. If they do it'll cost more than the mortgage.
21:31:48 IsambardPrince; Florida is also having more self-inflicted problems. After voting for Trump and DeSantis, they stripped pretty much everyone who would have worked in their hospitality and construction industry and started arresting them, sending the others fleeing the state in panic.
21:32:23 IsambardPrince; So the economic growth in Florida is self-limiting, and without those construction workers there, it doesn't matter how many people want to move there. You can't move there if nobody will build you a house.
21:33:15 IsambardPrince; All those potential workers were immigrants. They started doing workplace crackdowns in Texas and Florida, and arresting so many immigrants the entire crew was gone and the project had to shut down.
21:33:25 IsambardPrince; So they're killing their own economies. Cutting off the nose to spite the face.
21:34:32 IsambardPrince; Meanwhile, they're feeding my parents all these racist tropes. Which is easy when you only need minimal prompting anyway because the generation that raised THEM was horrifically racist and that became ingrained in them.
21:35:55 IsambardPrince; In some ways my grandparents' generation was much more civilized. They had little tolerance for crime and "filth", but in other ways. I mean, these folks would use the N word with a group of black people standing right there and think nothing of it.
21:37:46 IsambardPrince; My mom was reading someone from Pennsylvania that moved to Noblesville, Indiana and commented on how racist everyone was. I said, "Yeah, Indiana has always been like that once you get south of Indianapolis....If it ain't white, it ain't right." The problem is that it spread to the northern part of the state and it went really bad there too.
21:38:52 IsambardPrince; You have things going on in Indiana like that lady on the bus in Bloomington in the red Trump hat that stabbed a Chinese woman a bunch of times and said "that's one less person to blow up our country" and they dropped all the charges.
21:39:19 IsambardPrince; It's not safe to go there. The prosecutor not only won't file hate crimes charges against people like that, they won't even prosecute them at all.
21:42:22 IsambardPrince; We're now in an era where Trump's AG, Pam Bondi, runs the federal DoJ and whether extremists who commit right-wing political violence even get punished depends on what state you live in.
21:44:16 IsambardPrince; I trust that if someone wearing a Trump hat attacked me for being gay, Illinois would do something about them. I trust that if they attacked my spouse for being Asian, Illinois would put them in prison.
21:44:16 IsambardPrince; I don't trust Indiana, at all.
21:45:06 IsambardPrince; The criminal system in Indiana is like those "all white juries in the south" on this type of thing, and that's if the prosecutor even brings it to them.
21:47:06 IsambardPrince;
21:47:18 IsambardPrince; Whoops
21:47:33 IsambardPrince; One can only hope that more of the extremists just take Vladimir Putin up on his offer of "asylum" for Americans who hate gay people and don't even think that Trump is enough of a racist, homophobic, dickless moron.
21:47:33 IsambardPrince; They'd have to learn Russian though, and that's a high bar considering most of them can't properly speak English now.
21:47:41 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Did you see that?
21:47:54 MinceR; yeah
21:47:59 IsambardPrince; Putin offers these "blue passports" to Americans who think even MAGA isn't extreme enough?
21:48:06 MinceR; oh, i don't think i've seen that
21:48:29 MinceR; but it's past time that all the ruscists of the planet should fuck off to muscovy
21:49:35 IsambardPrince; Yeah, they were interviewing a family of 5 from Texas who moved to Russia and got the blue passports.
21:49:46 IsambardPrince; I was like "Oh God, please take all of these people."
21:50:10 IsambardPrince; They're like "We're Christians and Texas is too woke. There's too many faggots there. I think we just married Russia."
21:50:17 IsambardPrince; I'm like. WHAT WHAT!?
21:50:35 IsambardPrince; You don't think America right now is enough of a piece of shit country? You had to move to the actual Russia?

21:52:38 lxo; schestowitz[TR3], I suppose it will be updated if/when I become effective, if it hasn't been updated yet. I'm not really sure.
21:55:36 IsambardPrince; Putin is doing it for a few reasons. The propaganda value of getting Americans to renounce their country is great, but he's also sent so many working age Russians to the morgues and hospitals with his illegal campaign of mass murder against the Ukrainians that he now needs to import foreigners (and their money) to work and replace the Russians he got killed.
21:55:36 IsambardPrince; I'm certain the Russians don't like this, but if you say anything those "masked nameless police" show up with machine guns and arrest people for "Hooliganism" like federal "police" under Trump are acting.
21:56:03 IsambardPrince; The Orcs need a transplant.
21:56:04 MinceR; now those merkins can go die while committing war crimes in ukraine for him
21:56:39 IsambardPrince; The great thing about Orcs is that even North Koreans who get shot on the battlefield get priority over Russian soldiers at the hospital, when they're being triaged.
21:56:53 IsambardPrince; So it's not like anyone can even argue Putin cares about the Russian people.
21:57:03 MinceR; lol
21:57:08 MinceR; they still do, though
21:57:16 MinceR; facts stopped mattering to fascists long ago
21:57:36 MinceR; (see "german physics")
21:57:52 MinceR; also, socialists in general (labor theory of value, lysenkoism-michurinism...)
22:01:18 IsambardPrince; Even the Orcs agree that a damned North Korean Communist is more worthy of life than an Orc.
22:01:34 IsambardPrince; We took a vote and it was goddamned unanimous.
22:01:37 IsambardPrince; Even the Orcs agreed.
22:03:19 IsambardPrince; MinceR, The North Koreans are far more intelligent and industrious than the Orcs. They just have the problem of near-universal sanctions against them.
22:04:06 IsambardPrince; Russia's economy was a lot bigger and the sanctions are relatively new and not as severe.
22:04:16 IsambardPrince; But even the pretense that everything is okay is falling apart.
22:04:27 MinceR; the incredible shrinking economy
22:04:41 IsambardPrince; They took on a lot of debt, the economy is shrinking, almost everything left is the war.
22:04:59 IsambardPrince; Inflation is killing the people who try to earn a living.
22:05:16 IsambardPrince; High interest rates are killing the people who might be able to borrow, but can't.
22:05:28 IsambardPrince; It's basically a "death by everything" situation.
