phf: that's the only reason i went to see it
mircea_popescu: dun think so.
mircea_popescu: better to rent the car than the tits though.
mircea_popescu: holy shit two in one day ?!
asciilifeform: looks like mircea_popescu was quite right to tune out openbsd when he had.
phf: also, in case nobody noticed, 6.1 release has arm64 support, that relies on the base clang (that in turn was included but otherwise not used in base last december)
asciilifeform: including the 'problem' of non-remotelymodifiable copies .
danielpbarron: speaking of.. let's see if this works now
asciilifeform: 'Based upon income from contributors the Foundation performs a fantastic function -- making worries and problems disappear.'
asciilifeform: done so much as trying to matter.
asciilifeform: 'The decision is not only economical. I don't want the "friction" of trying to achieve high-quality production of collector item data CDs twice a year, in 2017. 6.0 was a high-quality CD release like previous ones, but don't want to expend the effort of producing and testing to make sure 6.1, 6.2 etc are up to that standard. It is better to call it quits on a high note.'
danielpbarron: i haven't opened versions 5.6 through 5.8 but my 5.5 is the official kind of cd that looks shiny metal (not colorful)
asciilifeform: (burned disks tend to happen same-week)
danielpbarron: i have it sitting right next to me
danielpbarron: huh, yeah the CDs i have are the "real" kind that look aluminum
phf: it could be a joke, but the "well-used" part, i dunno if that's the kind joke somebody with a proper pressing plant contracts would make at the end of a long run
phf: "Anyone want to buy some well-used CD burners?"
asciilifeform: 'Goodbye CDs I'm done with you today Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye No more pre-production And no more long delays So I have peace Of mind Goodbye.'
phf: but what i was actually going to say, is that openbsd disks apparently weren't pressed. it seems like theo de raadt has been burning them by hand up until now
phf: like many things discussed here, it is a situation of many causes and effects also known as "the whole spitoon"
mircea_popescu: phf this is true but also you know, "everyone assembles the car with wheels on hood -- we do not"
phf: well, in u.s. dominant roasting brands tend to ruin the coffee
asciilifeform: ^ this is quite beyond the ability of -- afaik -- anyone in usa
mircea_popescu: this is not a substantial contribution. but i suppose assemblage is not that different after all.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the best thing roaster can do is not ruin the coffee.
phf: well, if you assemble a car out of chinese parts in alaska it still wouldn't be an alaskan car, but the line gets blurry
mircea_popescu: phf so if i paint the car in alaska it's a local car now ?
asciilifeform: i thought mircea_popescu was speaking of where the thing grows.

mircea_popescu: but -- turkey dollars 40k. us embassy barely scraped it together.
mircea_popescu: yes, i linked the paperwork coupla days ago. what the ukr split cost was 40k. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: 40k turkey dollars buys you an ukrainian split, why the fuck would you trade it for a car.

ben_vulpes: mitigation actually runs in two directions; reduction in wear on road from lighter vehicles and reduction in wear on lighter vehicles from their own asses bouncing around. human-mass will keep going up, though, which will also eat the savings.
