[00:09:42] <progo> I had no idea that parler had millions of dollars in revenue to spend on anyone's salary
[00:10:05] <progo> what kind of operation is that? and how did they end up on AWS when everyone could say they probably weren't safe there?
[00:10:18] <progo> parler isn't an ad company, is it?
[00:11:11] <AzumaHazuki> it had the backing of the Mercers
[00:11:35] <progo> the social media server I'm on is backed by donations and has no salaries
[00:11:58] <AzumaHazuki> i'd been calling it an astroturf (compare "grassroots") operation from day one. it was a deliberate attempt to concentrate useful idiots, especially the potentially violent ones
[00:12:22] <progo> sounds likely
[00:12:28] <AzumaHazuki> with two outcomes: get critical mass and influence politics the way the Mercers et al., want, or if said idiots turned out to be a liability, there's a single-source repository of all their info
[00:12:48] <progo> honeypot
[00:13:06] <AzumaHazuki> in either case the idiots are screwed, but because they're...well, idiots, they didn't stop to think about it
[00:14:43] <AzumaHazuki> sad bit of dramatic irony: the kind of person who throws "cuck" around is the most likely to be used, abused, and disposed of this way :)

[01:31:40] <c0lo> opportunists. it is rare an opportunity looks the same for all of them. The moment their interests diverge, they'll start "defending" what they see as "theirs".
[01:32:08] <AzumaHazuki> this is the way the entire GOP base works though. The much-vaunted "unity" is no such thing; it's a temporary alliance of convenience
[01:32:41] <AzumaHazuki> the flipside being, one something splits the base (like, say, a Trump-led party...) you end up with two sets of fanatics who absolutely cannot compromise and will rip each other to pieces

[08:57:48] <FatPhil> not ugly, just not particularly interesting
[08:57:59] <FatPhil> qrky, as they would say nowadays
[09:24:29] <FatPhil> Well, today's an odd day, I'm handing out upmods to khallow and runaway on political threads!
[09:24:48] <Ingar> FatPhil: did you take your pilsl this morning ?
[09:24:53] <Ingar> *pills
[09:25:04] <FatPhil> me looks in the fridge for some pils

[09:25:33] <Ingar> FatPhil: pils is bad medicine
[09:25:42] <Ingar> you need something with punch
[09:25:50] <FatPhil> The whisky's to help the bad medicine go down
[09:27:00] <FatPhil> kinda running out of whisky, need to go to the harbour area for the shops for booze-cruisers. I'd hope they'd be desperate for customers right now, and have plenty of special offers.
[09:27:28] <Ingar> mmm I wonder of the local booze store is open
[09:27:53] <Ingar> not sure if they're an 'essential business'
[09:28:53] <FatPhil> local craft beer pub owner here did a little booze trip to .be a few months ago, and found very little open. however, she managed to find petrol stations carrying interesting craft beers, so the trip wasn't wasted.
[09:29:23] <FatPhil> brought back lots of bag-in-a-box lambic, that was the imortant thing about the trip.
[09:34:23] <boru> Here in Bavaria, all Getränkemarkte are considered essential businesses and are still open.
[09:35:00] <boru> I think there would be a war and Bavaria would declare independence from the federation if this were not the case.
[09:35:21] <Ingar> boru: nightshops and the like are still open, but that store is specialised in hard liquor
[09:35:29] * boru nods.
[09:35:42] <Ingar> they have the real good stuff
[09:36:37] <boru> Indeed. I've been lucky to find a shop in München which stocks good Irish whiskey.
[09:36:42] <boru> And they have also remained open.
[09:37:29] <FatPhil> I thought .be had floated the concept of "beer is food" to try to keep it flowing.
[09:38:06] <boru> Heh, yeah, I think DACH and Benelux all call it "liquid bread".
[09:38:13] <Ingar> FatPhil: exactly, beer is not liquor ;)

[09:41:46] <Ingar> there are a few trappist beers that qre quite enjoyable
[09:42:25] <Ingar> there's Duvel (6.66%) might be something for FatPhil
[09:43:41] <FatPhil> Local heavy-metal club used to sell duvel - it's actually quite a good thirst quencher after a bout of moshing.

[13:34:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> that didn't work out very well for the ones who wanted the ban. i can't imagine guns would work out any better given that ALL the people you're trying to control are armed instead of just some of them like with booze.

[13:39:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> the whole gun grabbing thing baffles me. i mean, if even one out of ten gun owners shot a single cop before their guns were taken, you'd run entirely out of cops (and military if they got mobilized none of them mutinied) before you ran out of gun owners.
[13:39:03] <boru> Send bureaucrats out into the wild to meet a few bears and see how keen they are to ban them after that.

[13:41:29] <boru> They seem to be quite out of touch with reality.
[13:41:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> not actually what they think. they think a disarmed populace is easier to control. the fear is just what they sell to the useful idiots.

[13:58:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> i cheat. i put a UTC clock right above my local clock in conky. nice and big so i can see em.
[13:59:34] <boru> FWIW, if you set `TZ` you can just use date(1).
[13:59:40] <Bytram> A quick look at the page source (let's here it for ID= tags) suggests it might be pretty easy to scrape the generate page
[13:59:42] <boru> e.g. `TZ=cairo date`
[14:00:00] <Bytram> s/ere/ear/
[14:00:01] <SedBot> <Bytram> A quick look at the page source (let's hear it for ID= tags) suggests it might be pretty easy to scrape the generate page
[14:00:31] * Bytram can't believe he made such a rookie misteak
[14:00:57] <FatPhil> boru++ top tip!
[14:00:57] <Bender> karma - boru: 48
[14:01:52] <Bytram> anybody have any suggestions/caveats/warnings for installing zoom while maintaining maximal personal privacy?
[14:01:53] <boru> And if you're looking for appropriate values, you can have a look in `/usr/share/zoneinfo` usually.
[14:02:03] <FatPhil> alas, if the timezone's unknown, if fails silently, and you'll get UTC
[14:02:18] <Bytram> silenterrors--
[14:02:18] <Bender> karma - silenterrors: -1
[14:02:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, easier to just ask by timezone and any bot can do it
[14:02:58] <boru> Yeah, setting `$?`, at least, would've been better.
[14:03:03] <Bytram> so how to I know the time zone for, say, moscow?
[14:03:09] <Bytram> tibet?
[14:03:22] <Bytram> peru
[14:03:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> /usr/share/zoneinfo/
[14:03:58] <boru> Well, they'll not all be in there.
[14:04:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> no but s'good enough for most shat
[14:04:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> #weather
[14:04:20] <MrPlow> 1576 East Main St, Humboldt, TN 38343, USA - Today: "Rain until evening." 73/44F, Humidity: 94%, Precip: 98%, Wind ~12mph. Fri: "Partly cloudy throughout the day." 68/48F, Humidity: 80%, Precip: 4%, Wind ~5mph. Sat: "Rain in the evening and overnight." 76/56F, Humidity: 85%, Precip: 80%, Wind ~8mph.
[14:04:34] <boru> And since it's not orthogonal on the Earth's surface (long story), selecting somewhere close by might not be correct.
[14:04:40] <boru> TZs are a shitshow.
[14:05:47] <Bytram> boru++ exactly!
[14:05:47] <Bender> karma - boru: 49
[14:06:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, every time i hear/read someone say "make DST permanent" it makes me want to yell WRONG and punch them in the ear
[14:06:49] <boru> Hmm, there's also zdump(1), apparently.
[14:07:06] <Bytram> by rights, for example, most of the northeast US should be in the Atlantic time zone and there have been some noises about actually making it happen.
[14:07:08] <Ingar> TheMightyBuzzard: ae point we agree on!
[14:07:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> leave it alone or get rid of it, fine, but making our time incorrect permanently is bloody stupid.
[14:07:37] <boru> They're discussing abolishing DST here still, I think.
[14:07:45] <Ingar> permanent DST would put sunrise in januari at 10am here
[14:08:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> plus it's factually wrong
[14:08:21] <Ingar> well , the clock is just a label ofc
[14:08:27] <Ingar> what bugs me most is the change
[14:08:38] <Bytram> the USA actually tried is back when OPEC oil embargo struck. Do. Not. Want.
[14:08:40] <Ingar> (DST is this weekend for us)
[14:09:03] <Bytram> just had ours a week or two ago
[14:09:08] <Bytram> break time\
[14:09:24] <Ingar> should have taken the week off
[14:14:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> ugh, i really lack sufficient motivation to go work on the church again today. the closer we get to done the harder it gets to dechair my ass.
[14:15:29] <progo> TheMightyBuzzard: why? because of what happens after "done"?
[14:15:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> thankfully, as a card-holding member of gen-x, i am well capable of doing shit while being completely unmotivated
[14:16:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> progo, i get to go fishing for a month
[14:16:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm just running out of renovation gas
[14:16:40] <progo> ah
[14:17:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> there is a fuckin insane amount of trim in that place.
[14:17:54] <progo> ha ha
[14:18:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd blame the bastard that laid out the walls in such a way as to need so much trim but i'm said bastard
[14:20:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> anyway, i'm out.
[14:20:28] <progo> bye
[14:25:52] <FatPhil> TheMightyBuzzard++ please do punch them in the ear. twice - once for me too.

[17:58:28] <boru> At least, that is where I am, but I connect to irc3.
[17:58:43] <boru> Not sure if the other server has SPKI. I can't remember.
[17:59:17] <chromas> I saw you were the only one to leave during the netsplit the other day
