mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well with any luck tmsr fork of emacs will be part of gossipd anyways.
mircea_popescu: how about taking the fucking water out of the gasoline, for starters!
mircea_popescu: this sounds a lot like "my car engine doesn't run smooth so i'm going to fix the steering wheel, gas pedal etc."
mircea_popescu: also there's this kickass bird that sits on my balcony and sings the shit out of it!
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. what exactly can it be other than "a text program" ?
