asciilifeform: the fundamental issue re hardware - and we had this thread at least twice - is that manufacture of semiconductor is desperately -ev in small quantities, and so the mass-market luser - and his herder - is king.

asciilifeform: because the one i live one is a bit different. the orcs compete to swallow max saheeb cock, while feigning 'rebellion.'

asciilifeform: this mythical planet, where the 'third world' represents some sort of escape, i would like to move there.

asciilifeform: not merely from this one turd, but from the pile of undocumented and winblows-only hardware that if stacked would reach to pluto.

asciilifeform: china sucks the longest segment of microshit cock anyone has yet managed to swallow to date.

asciilifeform: you won't find conlangers attempting to speak klingon to strangers on the street, nor to force elvish into school curriculum. afaik.

asciilifeform: afaik 'conlanging' is a harmless hobby, and not an publicly rancid leprosy, like alicing.

asciilifeform: ( threat that leads pig to consider laying off the caviar )

asciilifeform: there is not a solution to this, if you will, binomial

asciilifeform: ( not for the naively 'obvious' reasons, but because folks who know that they will be made into 'latrine pig' tend not to surrender )

asciilifeform: historically folks tried to deal with the problem via elaborate impalements etc. but it was never satisfactory solution.

asciilifeform: his payment will be - same.

asciilifeform: it is in the pig's interest to soak up max caviar

asciilifeform: was my point tho

asciilifeform: go collect debt from earthquake.

asciilifeform: which is what i meant by the fiction. no one will collect so much as a percent of what the lizards 'owe'.

asciilifeform: which does not turn to caviar as you eat him, no.

asciilifeform: pig ate - max you can do is to eat the pig

asciilifeform: hard to collect caviar that's already been eaten.

asciilifeform: it is a fiction.

asciilifeform: this owing, it is not comparable to schmuck owing on his car loan.

asciilifeform: when it pays so much as a satoshi?

asciilifeform: (and, evidently, rms employs one...)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it'll die no sooner than american tax law. at this point there are 100,000 parasites who make cushy living purely from professionally navigating the kabuki.

asciilifeform: it has not reached the maturity of tax law, but whet were once suppurating wounds are mostly covered in scar tissue now and the schmucks sorta live with it

asciilifeform: ergo the very peculiar 'mandatory trainings', 'hr processes', etc.

asciilifeform: the other thing about rms and his response - the 'sex harassment' racket has been a thing in usa for long enough that a well-developed body of kabuki ritual now exists; where, if an org can demonstrate that said kabuki were religiously followed, its liability is in practice limited to something survivable ☟︎
