brendafdez: you know, the whole betu thing sucks, and somteimes the coping strategy could well be 'fuck it, i didn't even want it in the first place, I'd rather be
a woman where bug becomes feature'. Dunno, just speculating, I hadn't given it much thought before.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if i could get tenure with
a program on illiteracy.
mircea_popescu: i like 69 as much as the next girl, but it never occured to me to pretend i'm
a tupolev airplanewhile doing it.
mircea_popescu: i mean the entire "why do girls date assholes i have
a great sense of humor she doesn't know what she's missing" beta lament is one thing
mircea_popescu: serves them right for ruling over
a group dumb enough to believe that shit.
mircea_popescu: i don't actually keep that well indexed
a list of this score
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in idiot us discourse, because of all the "care" being "expended" to "protect", nobody can talk to anyone about anything, and as
a result everyone hates everyone else for no reason.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's pretty well articulated. consider the way this place works : once anything can be said, people suddenly manage to find "representatives" of groups they thought they hated quite likable. this happens on
a regular basis.
mircea_popescu: "If you are
a newcomer to Linux, either grow
a really thick skin. Or run away, it's not
a friendly place to be in." << also do not be in linux.
mircea_popescu: ahaha. 1) systemd is not nor will it ever be successful. 2) systemd is
a grease spot strictly because of the red hat drilling platform upstream. once that goes away, the whole set of fleas and their "successes" and "ideas" and choices and whatever also go away.
mircea_popescu: " have
a thick skin (and so do most of the others involved in systemd, apparently), and I figure that plays
a major role why we managed to bring systemd to success, despite all the pressure in the opposite direction. "
mircea_popescu: "My personal conclusion out of all this is mostly just that I don't want to have much to do with the worst offenders, and the communities they run. My involvement with the kernel community ended pretty much before it even started, I never post on LKML, and haven't done in years. Also, in our own project we are policying posts. We regularly put
a few folks on moderation on the mailing list, and we will continue to do s
brendafdez: mircea_popescu I was just curious to see what it's like in
a 'linux for girls' mailing list, but I think they won't let me in if I don'f affirm nicely enough

a linux for girls community
a couple of months ago. Can't tell you what it's like
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Probably. Maybe it was
a combination of link and maybe your commented here before cookie expired?
mircea_popescu: GNOME Display Manager (gdm) before 2.21.1 allows local users to change permissions of arbitrary directories via
a symlink attack on /tmp/.X11-unix/. << lulzier one.
mircea_popescu: "GNOME Shell 3.14.x before 3.14.1, when the Screen Lock feature is used, does not limit the aggregate memory consumption of all active PrtSc requests, which allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary commands on an unattended workstation by making many PrtSc requests and leveraging
a temporary lock outage, and the resulting temporary shell availability, caused by the Linux kernel OOM killer."
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 01:44:42; trinque: make
a stick with ubnetbootin or whatever
brendafdez: guys, I've seen gnome bashed security-wise
a couple of times here in chan (or in the blogs, I'm not sure). What's so wrong with it? I'm really liking gnome-shell...
mircea_popescu: it boggles my mind that one has to be "allowed" to introduce
a defense.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't understand how the world works. people who meet us armed forces socially and people who are willing to write USG SATAN in 5yo guts, provided the 5yo was spawned by
a private first class have virtually no overlap.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo there's
a good idea somewhere in there but kinda mollase'd out.
mircea_popescu: isis is pioneering the "before you can get voice, pick
a name off this list and torture their children on cam"
brendafdez: " It is hard to interpret " there seems to be
a 'not' missing
danielpbarron: one of you girls who needs
a linux training laptop should really outbid me on this pink thing
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron> lets me browse and think i'm logged in, and then hits me with
a login page for any meaningful action like placing
a bid or even asking
a question to the seller << I find this typical. To be fair I'd rather it ask me to auth often and on actions. Ebay considered their auctions to be contracts.
danielpbarron: lets me browse and think i'm logged in, and then hits me with
a login page for any meaningful action like placing

Bagels7: bad paste. [22:06] <+brendafdez> Bagels7 you have to write
a code on them, which he will provide
assbot: Hell, ain't we about more fucked than
a whore at closin' time, huh?
brendafdez: Bagels7 you have to write
a code on them, which he will provide
BingoBoingo: I had
a grey one passed it on to
a younger brother. Ran ubuntu fine. Ran rather awesome with an SSD.
danielpbarron: This aver pink laptop is used and is very slow and old. It would be great to use for replacement items or even for
a starter laptop. It does work it's just slow. << I can live with slow
trinque: you know, we're not
a real cult until we have some brainwashing chant
brendafdez: I was also asked to please not keep
a public archive, but I doubt they'll be letting me in
danielpbarron: i knew
a chick that used ubuntu before i had given up windows completely, and she wasn't ugly either! looking back on it that was quite exceptional

☟︎ danielpbarron: i guess it wouldn't hurt to make an ubntu installer flash drive and use it to boot live and see if your hardware is supported by
a linux kernel in general
BingoBoingo: indiancandy1_: I heard it was named after
a dude who funded
a bunch of scholarships. Don't see how there could be anything bad in that.
trinque: I mean just to have something that boots to
a thing with
a mouse pointer
trinque: make
a stick with ubnetbootin or whatever
trinque: frankly
a Ubuntu live cd is probably
a more sensible first try
trinque: /msg nickserv means send
a message to nickserv
trinque: msg sends
a message to
a name
danielpbarron: so why do you use such
a bloated complicated piece of garbage OS?
danielpbarron: i guess before you do that, prepare
a flash drive with an installer for openbsd or gentoo or something
brendafdez: i'm the nowest one around, that might be
a faux pas...
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2015 16:28:18; pete_dushenski: i'd never had
a ball boy before and it. was. sweet.
trinque: that's
a better excuse than "for the story"
thestringpuller: lol mircea_popescu we are desiging your fortress/palace with
a trap to push niggas down
trinque: o/^
a time to be born;
a time to die o/^
brendafdez: by havinf
a more squishy pair i dunno. Yes, that's me. Not now, i downloaded it from somewhere, but still me :P
mircea_popescu: lol you're too price driven. gotta be service driven to succeed, you're
a woman after all.
mircea_popescu: indiancandy1
a while after your tits are on the article, for sure.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck is murch, other than
a guy with
a skin rash, which he imagines comes from reading stuf online rather than from poor hygiene
brendafdez: i was asked to translate
a piece of utter stupudity about "btc scalability" for
a certain website. I'm making $30 on this but it sucks.
mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 so when are you coming to argentina ? find yourself
a nice brazillian bf, etc ?
mircea_popescu: brendafdez ftr, my twitter account is from before o'reilly discovered bitcoin / created
a house "expert".
mircea_popescu: btw, ask her what's the similarity between
a practicing gynecologist and
a healthy dog.
indiancandy1: but now its
a cotton bud u insert urself in toilet and then put it in the tube
mircea_popescu: plus if you suck
a cock once in
a blue moon you'll be popular as all hell.
mircea_popescu: you'll still be catering to ugly old schmoes, but at least this tiem have
a good pretext.
mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 anyway, why not study to be
a nurse ? it pays well.
mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 no the actual ingredients.
a bag of pasas de uva.
a bag of la pinocha.
a banana.
mircea_popescu: this seems to be
a theme here. but i thought only guys did it.
nubbins`: anyway, even two printers can pump out
a massive volume of shirts
nubbins`: all play and no work makes
a tv drama
nubbins`: send me $100 and
a mailing address
mircea_popescu: you're just
a bunch of weird bored middle class dudes in
a cul de sac somewhere pretending to be printing in between wife swappings aren;t you.
