[01:43] IsambardPrince McHenry County Assistant States Attorney Brian Miller said Larson additionally threatened to burn Judge Zalud alive and eat his face, the Northwest Herald reported.

[01:43] IsambardPrince Just give me five minutes in a room alone with him. You will be like, I didnt know we had that much blood inside. [] He would be unrecognizable. I would eat his [expletive] face off, Larson allegedly said in the message, according to Miller.

[02:01] IsambardPrince Stop spending money you dont have! Its that easy!

[02:01] IsambardPrince According to the NY Federal Reserve , about 60% of Americans using credit cards spend money they dont have by carrying a balance, with interest charged accordingly.

[02:01] IsambardPrince Apparently, its 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.

[02:01] IsambardPrince Right now in the Apple Card subreddit, people are bragging about $0.00 balances on their accounts. Not because its fiscally responsible, but because your Apple Card insignia on the App is white when you pay it in full. Otherwise, it shows colors when theres an outstanding balance.

[02:01] IsambardPrince Thats the state of modern financial education folks. Were paying bills to change the color of an imaginary credit card logo.

[02:01] MinceR lol

[02:02] IsambardPrince Ohh, if I give the bank money it turns white!

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

[05:24] schestowitz[TR3] But since the pandemic started he has become... a personality.

[05:24] 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).

[05:24] 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.

[06:00] IsambardPrince My mother, for some reason, has always been attracted to musclebound lunkheads.

[06:01] IsambardPrince Personally, I think there's nothing on this planet more revolting.

[06:01] IsambardPrince You know, than people like Gonad the Barbarian.

[06:01] IsambardPrince He was built like a brick shithouse, and always doing something incredibly stupid.

[06:03] IsambardPrince Just the embodiment of a stereotypical caveman.

[06:03] IsambardPrince Errr, argh. I beat people up and demand meat at fancy restaurant while banging the silverware on the table OOOK OOOK!

[06:05] IsambardPrince Now there's a bunch of "health" scammers on YouTube, and my mother listens to these people, who have deliberately gone to great lengths to look like some idiot with a beard who only eats meat and swears it's healthy.

[06:05] IsambardPrince Tosses some offal in a blender and gulps it down.

[06:06] IsambardPrince She doesn't take any vaccines, drinks silver, and says your bad cholesterol and triglycerides don't matter.

[06:08] IsambardPrince I'm surprised they could ever screen Farewell My Concubine in Mainland China much less with only 14 minutes out of a 3 hour movie missing.

[06:08] IsambardPrince Wikipedia says they mostly wanted the homosexual references deleted but the movie is pretty much entirely about this.

[06:11] IsambardPrince Mainland China (the PRC, excluding the SAR areas) isn't the worst place in Asia to be gay, but that's not saying much.

[06:11] IsambardPrince Then for some reason the US is sanctioning them for what they do to Muslims. But not what they do to gay people.

[06:12] IsambardPrince Islam is a shitty terrorist religion that defiles women and brought those buildings down. A chunk of the Pentagon missing. While they were all still smoldering, George W. Bush couldn't get up on the rubble fast enough and declare "Islam is peace!"

[06:12] IsambardPrince If it is, somewhere, I haven't seen that.

[06:13] IsambardPrince You had the London bus bombings and the knife and car attacks.

[06:14] IsambardPrince And then they arrest the people who say stuff about Islam.

[06:14] IsambardPrince Fuck the UK government.

[06:14] IsambardPrince Honestly.

[06:14] IsambardPrince They're an even bigger pile of trash than mine.

[06:14] IsambardPrince People come into your country, kill a bunch of people, and it's you that gets arrested for saying it?

[06:15] IsambardPrince I have never seen a more docile population than one who will tolerate that.

[06:16] IsambardPrince Brandon Lobster was taking the side of Hamas and well, would Brandon Lobster care to take a visit to any part of "Palestine" with or without the war?

[06:16] IsambardPrince He wouldn't last five seconds in there. They don't go for that.

[06:16] IsambardPrince They don't have fake tribunals over sour looks to a transsexual.

[06:16] IsambardPrince They don't let transsexuals live.

[06:17] IsambardPrince So if there are any they missed it's because they're smart enough to not admit it.

[06:18] IsambardPrince Greta Thunberg set sail for Gaza, and didn't even get close. Knew she wouldn't.

[06:18] IsambardPrince Got deported from Israel. Like what does she even do, for a living, that adds value to the world?

[06:18] IsambardPrince Other than make sour faces that people get on airplanes?

[06:19] IsambardPrince Don't tell me it's only America that puts cameras on stupid people and makes them famous.

[06:19] IsambardPrince Greta Thunberg got Sweden to kill its airline industry with an "embarrassment tax".

[06:20] IsambardPrince It turned out to be such a disaster they're repealing it.

[06:20] IsambardPrince All this to say that Al Bundy was right.

[06:20] IsambardPrince We threw their stinking tea into our American harbor.

[06:21] IsambardPrince And tossed out this utterly weird and insane and degenerate Euro filth.

[06:21] IsambardPrince You have to kill the disease before it spreads.

[06:21] IsambardPrince Starts getting funny ideas like tribunals for people who vomit over a man who deformed himself.

[09:38] TR Bot Oliva (@lxo@snac.lx.oliva.nom.br)

[09:52] 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.

[09:53] 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.

[09:53] IsambardPrince There's a lot of things GNOME does with it that are pretty much completely undocumented.

[09:54] IsambardPrince The only documentation appears to be that these interfaces exist and nobody says why.

[09:54] IsambardPrince It's like Microsoft-isms, where there's a bunch of undocumented APIs everywhere.

[09:54] IsambardPrince People find out about them, but JWZ....is basically reverse engineering something that claims to be Free Software.

[10:00] lxo the reasons I listed are more mundane, and applicable to users who aren't involved in development of windowing systems

[10:00] lxo but the ones you bring up are very important to

[10:00] lxo *too*

[10:04] 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.

[10:04] IsambardPrince But X has a lot of documentation.

[10:04] IsambardPrince So while bringing new people in is sort of a climb, at least they can learn if they want.

[15:49] schestowitz[TR3] MinceR: maybe someone needs spares

[15:49] schestowitz[TR3] some people know the guts of it

[15:49] schestowitz[TR3] and might buy that in ebay

[15:50] schestowitz[TR3] siome people have spares and tools to replace monitors' backlights

[15:50] schestowitz[TR3] so you sell it off on ebay

[15:50] schestowitz[TR3] they know what to do with them

[15:50] schestowitz[TR3] without tools and components it's hard to DIY them

[15:50] schestowitz[TR3] i checkedddd

[21:36] IsambardPrince It's unbelievable how Biden drained the Deposit Insurance Fund to save tech startups in California.

[21:36] IsambardPrince It just buys some time for junk that's likely to fail.

[21:36] IsambardPrince Meanwhile, it makes the entire banking system less stable.

[21:37] IsambardPrince Then he said no taxpayer would cover it.

[21:37] IsambardPrince That's technically true.

[21:37] 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.

[21:39] 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."

[21:40] 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.

[21:40] IsambardPrince They always have the option of opening accounts at another bank and putting some there too.

[21:41] IsambardPrince There's even services that charge a bit to go automate this for very wealthy people and businesses.

[21:41] 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.

[21:41] IsambardPrince It's like LVM for banking.

[21:42] IsambardPrince Over 90% of the public does not need this service.

[21:43] 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".

[21:44] 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.

[22:19] IsambardPrince I personally just would not expect anyone to buy 30 year treasuries when interest rates were like 1%. You're locked in for too long, even for an institutional investor which wants a long term safe place for cash.

[22:19] IsambardPrince Rates can't get much lower than that.

[22:19] IsambardPrince I don't think they should have committed to more than maybe 5 years in such an environment.

[22:20] IsambardPrince At least that way if you get burned you're not locked in for another 25 years past that where none of them will roll over and earn more.

[22:21] IsambardPrince 30 years is like, almost too long to even plan. Think about how much this country has changed since 1995, and not at all for the better.

[22:21] IsambardPrince Do you really want to be tied in for 30 years on a bond that's paying nothing?

[22:21] IsambardPrince Silicon Valley Bank was a serious WTF case.

[22:22] 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.

[22:23] IsambardPrince Warren Buffett was in the insurance business and parked cash in bills and notes, not bonds. Not much of it in bonds.

[22:23] 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.

[22:24] IsambardPrince So you want a lot of liquidity. That way you can self-insure and not buy too much re-insurance.

[22:25] 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.

[22:25] 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.

[22:27] 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.

[22:28] 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.

[22:29] 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.

[22:29] IsambardPrince You got a tropical storm barreling towards South Carolina. Florida is about to go into Hurricane Season.

[22:29] IsambardPrince But Trump is basically dismantling FEMA and saying states are on their own.

[22:29] IsambardPrince It's a bad time to be on the coasts.

[22:30] 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.

[22:31] 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.

[22:32] 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.

[22:33] 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.

[22:33] IsambardPrince So they're killing their own economies. Cutting off the nose to spite the face.

[22:34] 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.

[22:35] 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.

[22:37] 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.

[22:38] 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.

[22:39] 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.

[22:42] 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.

[22:44] 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.

[22:44] IsambardPrince I don't trust Indiana, at all.

[22:45] 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.

[22:47] 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.

[22:47] IsambardPrince Whoops

[22:47] 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.

[22:47] IsambardPrince They'd have to learn Russian though, and that's a high bar considering most of them can't properly speak English now.

[22:47] IsambardPrince MinceR, Did you see that?

[22:47] MinceR yeah

[22:47] IsambardPrince Putin offers these "blue passports" to Americans who think even MAGA isn't extreme enough?

[22:48] MinceR oh, i don't think i've seen that

[22:48] MinceR but it's past time that all the ruscists of the planet should fuck off to muscovy

[22:49] IsambardPrince Yeah, they were interviewing a family of 5 from Texas who moved to Russia and got the blue passports.

[22:49] IsambardPrince I was like "Oh God, please take all of these people."

[22:50] IsambardPrince They're like "We're Christians and Texas is too woke. There's too many faggots there. I think we just married Russia."

[22:50] IsambardPrince I'm like. WHAT WHAT!?

[22:50] IsambardPrince You don't think America right now is enough of a piece of shit country? You had to move to the actual Russia?

[22:51] MinceR ooh, polygamy

[22:52] 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.

[22:55] 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.

[22:55] 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.

[22:56] IsambardPrince The Orcs need a transplant.

[22:56] MinceR now those merkins can go die while committing war crimes in ukraine for him

[22:56] 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.

[22:56] IsambardPrince So it's not like anyone can even argue Putin cares about the Russian people.

[22:57] MinceR lol

[22:57] MinceR they still do, though

[22:57] MinceR facts stopped mattering to fascists long ago

[22:57] MinceR (see "german physics")

[22:57] MinceR also, socialists in general (labor theory of value, lysenkoism-michurinism...)

● Jul 07

[23:01] IsambardPrince Even the Orcs agree that a damned North Korean Communist is more worthy of life than an Orc.

[23:01] IsambardPrince We took a vote and it was goddamned unanimous.

[23:01] IsambardPrince Even the Orcs agreed.

[23:03] 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.

[23:04] IsambardPrince Russia's economy was a lot bigger and the sanctions are relatively new and not as severe.

[23:04] IsambardPrince But even the pretense that everything is okay is falling apart.

[23:04] MinceR the incredible shrinking economy

[23:04] IsambardPrince They took on a lot of debt, the economy is shrinking, almost everything left is the war.

[23:05] IsambardPrince Inflation is killing the people who try to earn a living.

[23:05] IsambardPrince High interest rates are killing the people who might be able to borrow, but can't.

[23:05] IsambardPrince It's basically a "death by everything" situation.
