"You get what you pay for" is a "rent seekers paradise" meme. "You get what you pay for" applies in the proprietary software | platform | app world. In the Free Libre and Open Source Software world, often you pay zero dollars; and there's some expectation that there may be a greater learning curve, though this is by no means certain; and there is always access to the source code, along with certain modification and distribution rights to that source code. So in this latter case of FLOSS, you pay no $, but you get very great / significant freedoms. You might make some sacrifices, but over the long term, you get collective benefits for those sacrifices. The "you get what you pay for" meme is a leading phrase in that it leads the speaker or listener into a dichotomy around money - pay money and get benefits, pay no money and be treated as the product (i.e., get treated badly) - but this is all in the context of proprietary software. Services around FLOSS software can provide "pay $ for it" options for those who require or need this, and can afford the dollars, and the long term benefit of this is an industry built around freedom and rights respecting technologies. More such long term thinking might be useful at this point in history.

Russia + “$USD does not serve the future” + “gold backed international settlement crypto” ≡ change coming - [PEACE]

Le yello change be on le way; Zerowedgie with the rap: Putin Sets The Table To Leave The Dollar Behind https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-12/putin-sets-table-leave-dollar-beh… https://thedailycoin.org/2019/06/09/putin-sets-the-table-to-leave-the-dolla… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtsfJ6KAqDo This is twice that Russian President Putin has said on the global stage the Federal Reserve Note no longer deserves the status and privilege of “world reserve currency” that allows unlimited printing of the currency. The first time he made mention he actually said that it was a threat to Russia’s national security. In a speech at the International Economic Forum, in St. Petersburg, Russia, “Russian Davos”, President Putin reaffirmed his position regarding the Federal Reserve Note and it’s international role. For the record, we see the abuse of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve Note, U.S. dollar, in similar light as President Putin. The current status of “world reserve currency” should not be allowed in this day and time. The absolute abuse of power, excessive power granted and the ability to shackle entire nations through the use of a currency that is not even their own should have never been allowed but it is way past time for this system to be dissolved. In a speech at a plenary session, Mr Putin accused Washington of seeking to “extend its jurisdiction to the whole world.” “But this model not only contradicts the logic of normal international communication. The main thing is, it does not serve the interests of the future.” ...

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48604023 US President Donald Trump has inadvertently revealed some details of his immigration deal with Mexico. He refused to discuss the plans with reporters, saying they were "secret". But he said this while waving around a sheet of paper that had the specifics of the deal written on it - which was then photographed by news media. President Trump made tightening the border with Mexico a major campaign pledge and the agreement averted his threat to impose tariffs on Mexico. The document suggested that Mexico had agreed to a deadline by which it had to show its efforts at halting the movement of migrants had worked. If the US determined that the measures had "not sufficiently achieved results in addressing the flow of migrants", Mexico would then take stronger legal action.× What has Mexico said about the deal? Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed that Mexico had 45 days to show it was able to stem the flow of US-bound migrants by strengthening its southern border. It is now deploying 6,000 National Guard personnel to the border with Guatemala. "You go to the south and the first thing you ask yourself is: 'Right, where's the border?' There's nothing," he said on Tuesday. "The idea is to make the south like the north as far as possible." [end of quote] Media captionA look at the steps Mexico is taking to deal with migrants If this plan failed, the foreign minister said, Mexico had agreed to be designated a safe third country - something that has been demanded by the US before, but has long been rejected by Mexico. If Mexico were to be a safe third country, migrants' asylum applications would be processed there rather than in the US. Mr Ebrard earlier said the US had been insistent on this measure, and it had wanted this to be implemented straight away. - Mexico 'has 45 days to curb migrant flow to US' - Is there a crisis on the US-Mexico border? | | | | | | | | | | | Is there a crisis on the US-Mexico border?

Discussions would take place with Brazil, Panama and Guatemala - the countries currently used by migrants as transit points - to see if they could share the burden of processing asylum claims. Mr Ebrard also said US negotiators had wanted Mexico to commit to "zero migrants" crossing its territory, but that was "mission impossible".

Stuff from the past
by Georgi Guninski 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

History is written by the winners. In 1999 it was disclosed [1] that m$ had a variable name _NSAKEY in the windoze. In 1998 Halloween Documents [2] document leaked showing microsoft's strategy against free software and especially linux. Due to lameness m$ couldn't predict android will run on linux kernel In early 2000 major malware like Code Red and Nimda hit m$, showing to m$ the meaning of word "security". Nimbda exploited the brain damaged loading dynamic libraries from the current working directory (I might have written something on this). In 2003 [3] debian shipped backdoored micq (the backdoor is debian specific). IIRC there was a quarrel between the debian package maintainer and the micq developer. Links to wikipedia are permanent snapshots [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NSAKEY&oldid=891818118 [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Halloween_documents&oldid=895695… [3] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/02/msg00771.html

Punished regardless - presumption of guilt - arbitrary power - [MINISTRY] [PEACE]

But people are convicted based on metadata, the most famous account is that of Jeffrey Sterling, who was convicted of being in the same building as a journalist. Regardless, I'm unclear on the harm of telling the press that the US government had provided nuclear weapon designs to a Russian scientist working with Iran.

Punished regardless - presumption of guilt - arbitrary power - [MINISTRY] [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 11 Jun '19

Zerowedgie with a foundational piece on (just one) broad example of the loss of our fundamental rights - in this particular case, the presumption of innocence has long been out the window. This is obvious since the '80s random "breath test" stops (the primary subject of this article), and has crept solidly into judicial process - notwithstanding the puffery of "ze glorious Western regime" - prove your innocence or suffer, fail to respond to someone else's "The Secret" (negative averment) bullshit, and the courts WILL and DO take it that you consented to that bullshit (criminal AND civil matters - from much painful personal experience)! Bradley/ Chelsea Manning - jail - trial - moar jail - pardon - freedom - government chasing a trial against Assange and so haul's Manning back into jail. Like what in the royal firetrucking firetruck? Yes grasshopper, indeed a royal firetrucking firetruck already! The glorious Western regime, the purported land(s) of the allegedly free, is soon to have its kleptomaniacal ass handed to it on a destitute platter of karma. And it's about firetrucking time. "Our" elites, "our" politicians, "our" judges and "our" international bankers, have sold us out, pillaged us poor and destroyed our nations, communities and ultimately families. And yes, each individual plays their part - there is no absolute "they" or "them" out there to pin all the blame on. We each play our part. Yes certain (((international bankers))) play an outsized part, but who has really undeniably staunchly refused to take a random breath test, or drug test, or join the yellow vests "for as long as it takes to overturn the government"? Failure to object is tacit consent. Know this. This is the karmic principle of "your" elites "governing" you. Nice golden cages, bread and circuses, daily cotton wool sugar floss. Good luck all, Punished Regardless https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-10/punished-regardless
