a better platform for play computing
ag3nt_zer0: Trinque, well some basic programming would be
a good place to start I think...
a more fundamental understanding of the history of the cypherpunk movement, encrytion fundamentals, etc, anything that will allow me to be something more than
a slave
ag3nt_zer0: So I got
a raspberry pi and am hoping that noodling around with this device will correct some of these fundamental misunderstanding I have...
BingoBoingo: ag3nt_zer0: Claws is
a good email client, but do your email writing and reading outside of it and encrypt/decrypt outside of it
BingoBoingo: ag3nt_zer0: Just encrypt and then paste into
a mail client
mircea_popescu: whenever you see
a cripple walking on
a crutch, it's
a good idea to think the crutch as compensation for HIS shortcoming, not yours.
ag3nt_zer0: ok ty mircea_popescu I am pretty confused... I have been following contravex guide - so is that preparing me to run locally? Or is utilizing enigmail through thunderbird attached to
a gmail account no longer local? And is it just more secure to use plaintext over html? So much to learn...
HeySteve: sounds like the justification for
a communist state

BingoBoingo: Sounds like an actual problem. I'd consider tossing him an invite, but he's
a complete stranger. All I know him as is the pirate trying to make
a qntra... but special needs.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo maybe. there should be
a new word, "low functioning intelligence". the exact counterparty to high functioning autism
BingoBoingo: "publishes all news as shareable images, thereby bypassing
a large number of restrictions and limitations, not needing clickbait, and being immune to adblock – but also paying people well, using bitcoin" << And completely ignoring the MP doesn't read text as images

mircea_popescu: seriously, as far as the "public opinion" is concenred, "there exists
a weapon that has never been used on account of it being too effectual". something that happened with nothing never, the celts used iron weapons and the europeans used machine guns and everything in between that actually worked and was actually useful was actually used. and not
a little used. USED. ubiquitously used, the franks re-engineered their en
mircea_popescu: i take it the unsolicited redrawing of mpex on toilet paper by kindergartners did not end up selling for the "very modest" five digit figure he had in... for lack of
a better term, mind ?

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 08-06-2015 04:27:15; asciilifeform: i, for instance, would much like to publicly register as 'anyone who walks in with my name and slave serial number and tries to take
a mortgage, ever, is to be shot immediately'
pete_dushenski: as if there were
a magical 'great wall' that kept out the mongols behind their keyboards
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 15:09:25; pete_dushenski: " When

a 20-year affair with his former college roommate's wife, it was supposed to remain
a secret between him and the government."

a contradiction? i imagine most jobs at NSA to be such
pete_dushenski: "Management “wanted
a creative building MMO [massively multiplayer online-game] with
a promise of zero penises seen,” tweeted Megan Fox,
a developer who worked on the project,"
☟︎ pete_dushenski: "In 2010, LEGO unleashed LEGO Universe,
a massive, multiplayer game where builders of all ages could create whatever they wanted on their own digital plots. Well, almost anything: LEGO didn’t want any of the players to endow its online world with penises. After all, it was meant to be
a kid-friendly place in which phalluses had no role—even its mini-fig citizens were dickless."

☟︎☟︎ pete_dushenski: turns out that when you spill the beans to
a piece of paper in
a drawer, someone can go in and read that piece of paper !
☟︎ pete_dushenski: ""It's kind of scary that somebody could know that much about us," said
a former senior U.S. diplomat, pointing out the ability to use such data to impersonate an American official online, obtain passwords and plunder bank accounts."
☟︎ pete_dushenski: what on earth would possess one to disclose such
a thing on
a fucking application form, in triplicate...

a sober month of June

funkenstein_: trinque, indeed. sounds like
a small statement but you have just affirmed something big methinks
☟︎ trinque: so then going back to the "state", if the "state" is this, then
a "state" is *not* the aggregate of agreements made by free men
trinque: wouldn't it be nice for
a man to call
a command
a command, so you know what freedom you actually have
trinque: I might revise that further to "I shall force you to behave as though there were such
a thing as
a social contract."
trinque: when someone says "there is
a social contract" that's just
a backdoor way of saying "you shall accept the implications of there being
a social contract"
trinque: or "you are not your own but were bought at
a price"
decimation: I would probably setting for
a 'modern state' that did its best to cultivate the quality of its human potential, rather than treating it like an infinite resource
decimation: sure, but that's
a distinction between '
a state' and 'the modern structure' (as moldbug would put it)
trinque: malcolm x was
a reactionary with no proposal
trinque: probably means something
a bit more than "owns this dirt"
decimation: if the land is unclaimed, how do you build
a house?
decimation: but someone has to claim the land, and people need
a place to sleep
☟︎ decimation: not
a literal us state here, state = government
☟︎ trinque: in the absence of
a central authority dictating that there shall be
a fire dept, I wouldn't expect that the need to put out fires would vanish along with it
decimation: sure, but in the end they all involve
a peice of actual real estate with an actual physical structure
☟︎ trinque: there are
a number of ways to come at that particular problem
trinque:
a WoT of
a hundred million people, maybe
decimation: not every call girl can do calculus, she needs to be given
a better purpose
mats: nothing wrong with being
a call girl
jurov: "At this point we can consider... Scientology is
a tax-exempt religion. Why not Bitcoin?" ahahaha never made the connection before
jurov: "Also, programmers can also attest to the fact that long-term coding is very much
