mircea_popescu: pport browsers without javascript and rapidly moved forward. "
mircea_popescu: "Browsers without javascript aren't supported by Foswiki out of the box. We once decided to assume that nowadays everybody should have access to a sufficiantly standard browser that implements javascript. Of course this was different 15 years ago when we still had to deal with IE6 and the like. But as almost all vendors constantly move forward in web standards. So we then decided to strip off the burden of having to su
mircea_popescu: why, so it can compete with... 500 other implementations ?
mircea_popescu: "But, yes, Foswiki is becoming more dependent on JavaScript. I doubt that this is going to change."
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> Does ti have a countdown timer? << and wires sticking out.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> much better results are obtained with taking more less wide shots + stitching << i wouild expect.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so if i do something like, "cut raqces, submerge board in 1U epoxy" its gonna cost me > 200 each
mircea_popescu: im not spending 50k in fisheye to be able to make a ten cent report.
mircea_popescu: (something he's more than willing to do - hey, needs more budget)
mircea_popescu: the point is to entice the enemy into spending his shirt.
mircea_popescu: the point is not to protect who knows what secrets that shouldn't be there anyway.
mircea_popescu: this sort of thing. costs nothing to do, completely blows minds on the other side.
mircea_popescu: like, physically cut the races for impi or w/e bullshit.\
mircea_popescu: more importantly, how about some basic skuldulgery on the boards ?
mircea_popescu: as a last ditch before going "fuck this shit, all our things are to be held on zombie computers"
mircea_popescu: basically, trying rto sound out a sort of "b-a best practices hardware server upbringing"
mircea_popescu: so the correct approach here would be for coloing boxes you personaly doctor and fedex to location ?
mircea_popescu: seems a little twisting the screw is in order. fine. how do we go about it ?
mircea_popescu: it turns out that this is not true : "commodified market" actually means that there is no market - you can either not have a server and think you don't have a server ; or else not have a server and think you have a server. those two, no third and sure as fuck no having servers.
mircea_popescu: so we decided more or less on a lark to phuctor/s.nsa server. on the general expectation that hey, "commodified market" means you get stuff and it works and forget about it.
mircea_popescu: let's go at it the other way. first, historical recount :
mircea_popescu: this happens to be THE definition of runaway complexity.
mircea_popescu: is this pretty much an exercise in runaway complexity ?
mircea_popescu: how do you personally set up servers other than in physical proximity ?
mircea_popescu: my browser is also a very configurable animal, and the configuration mostly results in blank pages and "your site can't be used" emails.
mircea_popescu: but you're still going to use what the server can use.
mircea_popescu: and now even cars are too much for the socialist derp to afford. so make way for the much "better" bike!
mircea_popescu: hitler didn't want to go for this so they invaded germany to saddam hussein him.
mircea_popescu: iirc they had flying cars in the 20s, but then the socialists wanted to supress them and pretend like the street going car is the thing to get because that was all you can afford.
mircea_popescu: in other b-a news : world infrastructure is shit. in all respects, at every turn, everything.
mircea_popescu: i guess we get to find out how american europeans are these days
mircea_popescu: anyway. im done with spamming ballas before i end up with his entire collected works in the log.
mircea_popescu: 'd backhand slap you right out of the glee club: "it discourages women from writing and earning a living online." Earning a living? From who, Gawker? Most of the women writing on the internet are writing for someone else who pays them next to nothing.
mircea_popescu: o-weak-to-try rapists want to be anonymous. Smart women write clickable articles about their sexuality for nothing, because what good are you if you can't make someone else money? Interesting to observe that the article's single suggested solution to cyberharassment is to reframe a criminal problem into a civil rights issue using a logic so preposterously adolescent that if you laid this on your Dad when you were 16 he
mircea_popescu: If Hess has made you wonder, hmm, maybe unrestricted anonymity is bad because it gives trolls too much power, then the system has successfully used her for its true purpose: brand it as bad, to you. She is unwittingly teaching the demo of this article, e.g. women in their 20s with no actual power looking to establish themselves, who are the very people who should embrace anonymity, not to want this: only rapists and to
mircea_popescu: and THEN they wanna be all "successful", or perceived as such, because hey, of the 5000 of them, one's necessarily gonna dribble in the general direction of future events by sheer happenstance - that's your successful dude!11
mircea_popescu: the funny thing about "groups advocating influentially in media they don't own or control" is that the famelic good for nothing hipsters propose that THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY. ie, being someone's cockpuppet is somehow worthy, whereas if trump writes "fuck you" in his own fucking magazine, that's somehow "not fair" and you know, of "lesser value".
mircea_popescu: your feelings-- but because criticism makes women want to be more private-- and the privacy of the women is bad. The women have to be online, they do most of the clicking and receive most of the clicks. Anonymous cyberbullying is a barrier to increasing consumption, it's gotta go."
mircea_popescu: Keeping in mind that actual stalking has never been dealt with in any significant way ever, the desire of a few female writers to curb online anonymity wouldn't be enough to get an @ mention, except that this happens to coincide with what the media wants, and now we have the two vectors summing to form a public health crisis. "Cyberbullying is a huge problem!" Yes, but not because it is hurtful, HA! no one cares about
mircea_popescu: nny Carcosa. On occasion what the activists think they want may happen coincidentally to align with what the system wants, and from that moment on they will be lead to believe they are making a difference, which means they're making money for someone else.
mircea_popescu: "The force for this change isn't coming from safety or ethics. Neither is it activism. If you see any group advocating influentially for change in a media they don't own or control, you can double down and split the 10s, the dealer is holding status and quo. No change is possible on someone else's dime, and if what looks like a supermodel approaches you with a microphone and a camera crew, you should run like she's Joh
mircea_popescu: mike_c it's kinda good if you think about it. ma-nure. ma, which is good...
mircea_popescu: nice wide sidewalks, and the biking nonsense is mostly in palermo (fucktard/ustard/libtard ghetto, where the diners have no service and the girls no sense of the cock.)
mircea_popescu: anyway, i must confess in this respect ba is very mp-conformant.
mircea_popescu: fuck the whole lot of them, but if im running into bikers on the sidewalk ima get hteir heads.
mircea_popescu: "ima paint a line on your ass so it's half train depot"
mircea_popescu: "oh, the town house painted a line on the sidewalk so it's half bycicle route now"
mircea_popescu: i suppose i looked enough like i was gonna fucking kill them on the spot that they bitched and ran off each time, but hot damned i regret not having fed one his wheel.
mircea_popescu: i occasionally ~used to~ have altercation with dumbass bike derps who not only were on the sidewalk but had the unmitigated audacity to ring their dumbass bell.
mircea_popescu: no but i fucking hate that shit. "you know what we'll do to fix the problem of dumbass cars encroaching on pedestrian everything ? we'll make cheaper cvasi-cars so all the dumbass hipsters who can't afford a car can still get in your way"
mircea_popescu: and if a bunch of biking fucktards move on that sidewalk ima start carrying a billy club
