mircea_popescu: they can't go to a random bar, they can't talk to random people.
mircea_popescu: going to church is not socialisation, it's antisocialisation.
mircea_popescu: while these idiocies may well serve societal and political goals of wrinkled up old women / usg, they have no room in the world.
mircea_popescu: i really don't blame the kids themselves, they're being raped under the guise of education, and in two major ways : one to create a wholly delusional concept of "originality" which is so badly wound up in self-contradiction it causes most brains to shut down ; the other is more pervasive, they are prevented from socialising normally in a myriad ways and as such become incapable to work with others.
mircea_popescu: "Based in the heart of NYC, with strong banking and political partnerships, Coin.co is focused on establishing relationships with some of the world's most influential companies and institutions." << fancy that, website at least still exists.
mircea_popescu: "Outgoing messages do not contain the explicit address of the recipient of the message. Therefore, every network participant attempts decryption of every message passing through the network even if the message was not originally intended for that network participant. Since only the actual recipient can successfully decrypt the messages intended for him, all network participants know that if they fail to decrypt the mes
mircea_popescu: punkman notably, the one difference between this and gossipd is that it really doesn't require so much trust. the paramount question isn't to make it possible for derps to safely exchange child porn or whatever, the paramount question is to make it possible to run a chan without having to bow down to an isp providing server space.
mircea_popescu: broadly it seems more like a sort of confused yahoo messenger implemented by teenagers than anything.
mircea_popescu: spam shouldn't be a problem in a sane implementation of the above-discussed design
mircea_popescu: "GPG is useless because if somebody manages to exchange the data while it is transferred to you, he probably also switched the key with his own to sign the application again so it looks valid."
mircea_popescu: tore a bunch of holes in the "logical arguments" of the retards, to exactly no effect. their logic consists of whatever they make algal blooms out of.
mircea_popescu: phf i was one of the very few ro writers that never migrated.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing. there shall never be such a thing.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the wholly misplaced expectation of youthful enthusiasts that they may make a name for themselves through independently "creating" shit must be quashed.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i guess this is perhaps not obvious, tho i'd expect it to be : the odds of recent code created by random derps not in the wot being ever recommended, used or regarded positively here are somewhere between nil and epsilon. even old, widely distributed, supposedly well reviewed code turns out pretty shitty on examination.
mircea_popescu: it's rank nonsense. "back then, people owned people, which is bad" "why ?" "i dunno, bahamas said so"
mircea_popescu: PeterL there is no way to explain the background of the culture in an ideologically acceptable manner.
mircea_popescu: gernika the idea was to make a chan not to convey short text messages in a roundabout manner.
mircea_popescu: PeterL gotta love how "against socialism" became "superficial". things that go against teh superficious ideology are ignorant!!11
mircea_popescu: lol how are they gonna "compete", who gives a shit about that thing ?
mircea_popescu: back before the whores starting pretending like government is a job.
mircea_popescu: (this point, incidentally, is uncontroversial in the chinese space)
mircea_popescu: all the world's languages can go invent their own computers. i'll read them in the afterlife.
mircea_popescu: copypaste the solution to infestation isn't to draw lines on the floor and try to keep the bugs from crossing over. the solution is to fog the place. no more unicode.
mircea_popescu: you wanna look at them, paint them any way you wish. you wanna communicate them, stick to ((),())
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag how's "you may not reference glyph tables intra-systems" doing anything to your matrices ?
mircea_popescu: copypaste were you here for the "the humanoids in unicode are the wrong color" discussion ?
mircea_popescu: i thought it was resolved, and the resolution was "no more bullshit"
mircea_popescu: html going the way of the ^G would be a greater win than most anything else. and not just for computing sanity, either.
mircea_popescu: but then the only reason this obviousness is obvious is because THEY FUCKING CANT.
mircea_popescu: something like this is fucking obvious, even to the lowliest derp : there is no concept of "wordpress theme" in the fucking code, and if you want to "skin it" you eitgher write one or, as the derp case usually is, go to a repository and load one you like. nobody goes "hey, we should be able to decide what wordpress theme is used to display this article IN THE FUCKING ARTICLE".
mircea_popescu: "you can install fixedsys to do any glyph translation you want on your system ; you may never reference glyphs when talking to other systems"
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag you know, the orcs that don't have alphabet because their mommies were sluts or something.
mircea_popescu: there's absolutely nothing valid or even remotely interesting you might need to "express yourself" through writing into the book sideways and with a round hole in the middle of the page.
mircea_popescu: it should be fucking illegal to deviate from format. fucking idiot "symbolics" "designers".
mircea_popescu: and honestly doing away with this particular bowdlerization of the idea of freedom where sites "can change" is such a great win just by itself...
mircea_popescu: so it kills the browser and everything web, all the way down.
mircea_popescu: anyway, you don't have to even parse html and all that bullshit - because your site template is fixed.
mircea_popescu: the idea isn't to "surf websites" and "easy upload and download". the idea is to replace the motherfucking browser altogether, so that a chanpage is created out of discrete resources requested from peers exactly like the browser works but without touching any sort of web anything.
mircea_popescu: anywa, freenet has exactly nothing to do with what was contemplated here.
mircea_popescu: seems to me the conjugate separation is a rather universal solution
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell adlai "Satoshi Nakamoto never signed communications, and are is thus"
mircea_popescu would actually run this thing, anyway. i'm kind-of missing /dtng/
mircea_popescu: so it's not one of those "shit me a micron" sort of jobs.
mircea_popescu: it's really not THAT hard to do, in the sense that all the needed parts already exist, even if not perfect.
mircea_popescu: copypaste it'll take a while to implement, you'll have to pull in gpg too, and some other shit. but once done it does obsolete current chanology. i can't conceive who or how could run a chan anymore on anything else.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: basically, the correct way to implement this, is to have a "universal" key and have people encrypt to whatever keys they want. if they include the universal, then it's public. if they don't, then only whoever they encrypted to can see it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: no longer need to host servers, bother with "laws" and similar bullshit. if people like your shit they'll run it.
mircea_popescu: just fork gnutella or whatever to serve as your basis. add a render engine, and you're g2g.
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> ideally you replace the browser entirely, also. run as a sort of torrent. <
mircea_popescu: depends which model you choose. if people encrypt their output, there's jack you can do
mircea_popescu: ideally you replace the browser entirely, also. run as a sort of torrent.
mircea_popescu: copypaste how are they forced ? you run gpg and make a key. whatever it comes out.
mircea_popescu: either way a random cs-illiterate third party would not see anything.
