[01:16:50] <aristarchus> Who is controlling everything now, Marty? The same old staff dictatorship, putting together deals in the back rooms? When will janrinok's vaunted "community" get any say on what is going to happen?
[01:19:25] <schestowitz[TR]> https://www.techdirt.com
[01:19:30] <schestowitz[TR]> let's discuss
[01:19:44] <schestowitz[TR]> so it seems like a spying compannny
[01:19:51] <schestowitz[TR]> is acting tough
[01:19:55] <schestowitz[TR]> against another spying company
[01:20:27] <aristarchus> Not the place for your ads, Roy. Sorry.
[01:20:41] <schestowitz[TR]> "The time has come to pay the discovery piper for NSO Group. The phone exploit firm formed by former Israeli spies was supported unilaterally by the Israeli government as it courted human rights abusers and autocrats. The Israeli government apparently felt selling powerful phone exploits to its enemies got caught with its third-party pants down when numerous news agencies exposed just how often NSO’s customers abused
[01:20:41] <schestowitz[TR]> its powerful spyware to target journalists, activists, lawyers, dissidents, religious leaders, and anyone else who annoyed its customers."
[01:21:30] <schestowitz[TR]> "2438 (90.4 %) capsules are self-signed, 203 (7.5 %) use the Certificate Authority Let's Encrypt, 56 (2.1 %) are signed by another CA (may be not a trusted one)." gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org
[01:21:49] <schestowitz[TR]> SN would be well off with a gemini capsule

[06:22:28] <aristarchus> If you want, Roy, you can make a story submission, and wait for it to be rejected, just like everyone else. Spamming your site on IRC is not cool, at all.

[07:55:01] <c0lo> "We can't find a comment with that ID (1348710) in this discussion (60170). If this comment was posted moments ago, please wait 60 seconds for it to appear. Otherwise, if you got here through a link generated by SoylentNews, please report this as a bug."
[07:55:29] <c0lo> Well, I waited for more than 60 secs the result is the same.
[07:57:36] <janrinok> What did your comment say? If it looked like an post by ari then it might have been removed
[08:00:32] <janrinok> Indeed it was - it was one of 4 comment posts made in quick succession which are identified positively as coming from ari. All posts by him are now removed. He is banned.
[08:01:01] <janrinok> It was his usual morning spam session. I watched them being posted in real time.
[08:02:14] <janrinok> FYI: air is still spamming numerous journals and polls daily, and he is still doxxing certain individuals.
[08:02:24] <janrinok> *ari is still ....
[08:03:50] <schestowitz[TR]> freport to authorities

[08:07:08] <aristarchus> "Air is still spamming" and janrinok still deleting. Delete this, janrinok, please, I beseech thee! We spiral down, further from what the dream of SoylentNews was. Soon this will be a vanity project of a lone contributor, like Pipedot or Techrights. Oh, and I personally insult you, in return for the same.
[08:09:01] <c0lo> Well, one can only hope we'll get to such a time when "ari isn't spamming anymore". Maybe a fool's hope, maybe not.
[08:10:01] <aristarchus> aristarchus doesn't spam, he comments. Janrinok just categorizes it as spam, because he disagrees with me.
[08:10:16] <janrinok> I am not optimistic - but the software has helped clean the site up considerably.
[08:11:40] <janrinok> c0lo: ari has posted over 500 spam comments (all off-topic) in less than a month.
[08:12:11] <aristarchus> Cleanliness in not close to Godliness, it is close to sterility, and this is where SN is heading.
[08:12:39] <c0lo> In any case janrinok, thanks for the explanation, I'll know not to worry for the future.
[08:14:48] <aristarchus> And, janrinok! You are keeping count! Not sure if all of my posts were "off topic", in fact, nearly none of them were, but we all know what you mean. Don't worry about the future. There will be no community vote.

[13:16:55] <Bytram> Anybody have a link to LIVE SpaceX launch?
[13:18:08] <Bytram> please ping me!
[13:22:07] <Bytram> Looking for something better than: https://www.youtube.com
[13:23:26] <Bytram> ~2 minutes to go
[13:24:15] <requerdanos> marty is this helpful? https://www.spacex.com bytram
[13:24:23] <janrinok> Bytram, negative - it is youtube here
[13:32:47] <requerdanos> oops video loss
[13:38:10] <janrinok> gobsmacking!!!
[13:38:53] <requerdanos> yeah that was nice
[13:39:50] <janrinok> incredible images from space. Hi definition
[13:40:17] -!- Runaway1956 [Runaway1956!~OldGuy@the.abyss.stares.back] has joined #soylent
[13:41:34] <janrinok> surprised that it only looks like a few million viewers. I genuinely thought that it would be more than that.
[14:10:31] <Ingar> my boss doesn't pay me to watch spacex launches
[14:10:53] <Ingar> well, doesn't pay me either to chat here :)
[14:11:11] <requerdanos> in for a penny, in for a pound
[14:35:11] <janrinok> An incredible achievement - even if we lost the ship eventually. This is how we learn.
[14:59:24] <Bytram> Spacex was started 22 years ago, today!
[14:59:51] <Bytram> also, happy Pi day!
[15:00:07] <requerdanos> hey, it is. Happy pi day to you also
[15:00:46] <Bytram> TYVM!
[15:13:10] <Bytram> I'm slipping, though. As a freshman in college, I had a dorm-mate who had memorized Pi to 50 digits... I "only" had 40. The battle was on! At beer parties, we'd recite Pi in unison. If we were successful, then it meant that we were not drunk enough. In unison, we'd yell: "DRINK"! At the end, we had memorized Pi to *200* decimal places!
[15:13:21] <Bytram> laters!

[17:15:53] <janrinok> To the AC who thinks that we have ignored MDC - the anniversary of his death is 24 March. We have not forgotten. Don't be an asshole by suggesting otherwise. You obviously did not know as well as some others did.
[17:33:30] <Ingar> Bytram: I'm glad if I can remember the first 6 digits
[17:33:47] <Ingar> Bytram: but I did post euler's identity on my social media bullshit today
[17:35:06] <Ingar> oh I can actually remember 8 digits!
[18:51:55] <Bytram> Ingar: Yeah. I used to know Pi to 200 digits. Now, I'm down to... hmm, I'm bot sure! BIAB
[19:29:13] <chromas> I knew he was a bot
