punkman: I think they had openpgp.js before
thestringpuller: http://i.imgur.com/t2sfuot.jpg
thestringpuller: i thought keybase held your keys for you cause people are stupid
thestringpuller: hey asciilifeform i have a brilliant idea
punkman: I don't mind the CSS, but the javascript situation is ridiculous
asciilifeform: i'm also not especially interested in 'hair shirt' browsers;
asciilifeform: i don't consider browser that won't build across the whole posix planet to even 'count' for the purpose of discussion
asciilifeform: i was speaking generally
asciilifeform: as if it were possible for the machine itself to protest and say 'i don't like this particular 'what,' it was written to brutally rape the operator when the planets next align'
asciilifeform: i deliberately won't comment on the technical aspects (can't bring myself to give a damn) but the psychological patterns point to - power play
punkman: I enjoyed the maritime story btw ;)
ecstaticpessimst: Oh, I wasn't browsing from my home network. maybe I caused some problems for some other people....that would be exciting
ecstaticpessimst: nope, I mean I probably would have noticed right?
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2015 05:40:23; danielpbarron: i feel like this relates to the conversation not too long ago about buying hardware for specific purposes, and how it tells your enemy exactly how he can screw you
assbot: /hashtag/AggressiveCleavage?src=hash- the /hashtag/GamerGate?src=hash OP I've been in training for my entire life... they pay me for this, y'all... http://t.co/fSEA2kheDL

ben_vulpes: (although who knows - maybe i'm a moron for trying to pass it quoted empty arrays)
mircea_popescu: the birth of the problem, i guess.
mircea_popescu: i'd totally prosecute her.
mircea_popescu: adlai from what i've heard, they want to form a Third Foundation. this is getting even thicker than asimov << lolz. the part where they carefully avoid the why of it, and how exactly the old one died is also the part that ensures they stay irrelevant.
whaack: adlai: Haha I guess I should say I've mentally told myself I'm going to do the task - no work has been put in yet. But I just want to build my own bitcoin tool. I probably won't wind up using it but I want to prove to myself that I'm able to do it.
whaack: adlai: ah yes I've read this, I like it a lot. I'm currently taking the task of building my own hardware and writing my own transaction signing tool. It's difficult though and pushing the limits of my feeble brain
danielpbarron: i feel like this relates to the conversation not too long ago about buying hardware for specific purposes, and how it tells your enemy exactly how he can screw you ☟︎
adlai: from what i've heard, they want to form a Third Foundation. this is getting even thicker than asimov

mircea_popescu: i think "isis" is really the only available symbol to describe chtulhu, the borg, entity q and so forth.
trinque: I've had a highlight on deedbot- in the meantime
asciilifeform: 'what do you mean i shouldn't butcher my chumps'

asciilifeform: since he came up, i'd still like to understand why he took to spam
cazalla: i take it noone here got an invite to evoorhee's wedding lol

danielpbarron: ecstaticpessimst, what's the url I can submit stuff to to make it show up on your test subject's head?
ecstaticpessimst: haha do you actually think so? if so I want to know what you hated about it.
ecstaticpessimst: true, I just have a very small web presense so most of the views come from people Ive met in person and I dont tell them about it usually.
ecstaticpessimst: I havent given anyone that website, i havent added everything ive done to it yet, its like having someone read a book that you've only made loose scribblings on.
ecstaticpessimst: I feel like im immediately being dissected.
ecstaticpessimst: A friend, I forget their irc name though.
ecstaticpessimst: I heard it was a good knowledgable bitcoin community and I wanted to observe
jurov: and i should shot the word "just" to the head
mircea_popescu: "Multi legionari ar fi dat orice ca sa-i insoteasca in aceasta Cruciada. Insa lipsa fondurilor si previzibila impotrivire a guvernului fata de o expeditie de amploare au facut ca Legiunea sa trimita pe front o echipa alcatuita din numai sapte oameni." << "everyone wanted to go but too poor to afford the trip, and besides, parents wouldn't approve. so they had their own 7 man condor legion."
asciilifeform: i go to find out why;
mircea_popescu: and the later pic is i dunno what.
asciilifeform: yeah i counted at least 3
mircea_popescu: "Accordingly, I respectfully ask Congress to raise the debt limit as soon as possible," Lew wrote in his letter.

mircea_popescu: what goes next ? "no, because i bought that new pair of shoes and dinner" ?
mircea_popescu: i wonder how people justify working there to themselves. "o, i am now stuck in traffic driving towards my workplace, which is cnn. where that fucktard abigail stevenson works. it must mean i'm as incredibly stupid as she is ?!"

pete_dushenski: i've even seen the derps in the photo radar trucks using toughbooks around here
adlai: the marks deserve what they get, but i wouldn't want my daughter marrying the dealer
adlai: eh, i'd say that broken uninstallers are 'crimes' at the same level as running a rigged shell game on a touristy broadwalk
kakobrekla: > I saw the Add/Remove option in the usual place. The installer, it must be noted, is completely broken and uninstalls essentially nothing — but broken uninstallers, in and of themselves, are not crimes.
adlai: asciilifeform: all i know is an HN headline which i didn't bother opening: "[yc company] (YC '15) finds cures for diseases which don't yet exist"
nubbins`: ...i can't afford another macbook when this one dies?
nubbins`: good news! my browser appears to be safe from the security bug i just found out about
thestringpuller: i eventually had the thought, "Yea ALF would frown on this, lets die another day shall we?"
thestringpuller: we were drunk as fuck and I immediately though, "would alf approve?" to see whether or not the procedure we were undertaking would kill us
pete_dushenski: lol i tried...
pete_dushenski: i suppose that relative to doge, gold seems like way less of a scam

nubbins`: FWIW i've used these methyl soyate products before
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i guess they weren't terribad. but still, the push is the lulz.
mircea_popescu: no, i get it, there's this soy lobby. nevertheless...
