mats_cd03: and i don't get the impression they'd be down with it. american military doctrine encourages autonomy at the company level in
a lot of ways
decimation: I think there was
a discussion about this awhile ago. I think that if it came to this (orders to fire on the population somewhere) it would probably tear the military apart, or at least damage the chain of command
mats_cd03: idk about that, i worked with
a fair number of free thinkers ranging from lower enlisted to field grade officers
decimation: mats_cd03: I know
a few folks who believe that the regular army would generally have no problem with firing on americans if ordered to do so
mats_cd03: id have preferred
a gun battle, personally.
nubbins`: given the choice between grabbing
a looter and grabbing
a new flatscreen...
mats_cd03: it should be public knowledge by now, i heard rumors about
a documentary film about to be released
a year ago, dunno if it materialized
mats_cd03: 02:48:14asciilifeform:usg choppers were supposedly fired upon during 'katrina' << yep, i can confirm this second hand -- i know

A. guardsmen that engaged in firefights with looters
nubbins`: there's
a few inches out there
thestringpuller: mirc but then again, they never wanted to make
a good game ; they just wanted to make
a game everyone plays << except that was never the original plan until activision took over
mircea_popescu: but then again, they never wanted to make
a good game ; they just wanted to make
a game everyone plays, and pays .

a social network with socialist participation award type shit
mats_cd03: for
a short time i played on bg9 in 3s pvp at
a high level, ~top 20 teams or so
mircea_popescu: decimation basically this systemd is
a ms windows of 1990s reboot.
mircea_popescu: <kuzetsa> assbot: you're
a bad idea << if you'd have read the logs you'd know there was some derp in chan earlier dropping links to leech ips to ddos people.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> opera is
a vastly superior browser <<< i been sayin'.
decimation: For the pankakkes of the world: I'm not trying to say that the existing init system is awesome, I'm sure that if one were to turn over that rock one would find
a mass of ugly critters
decimation: it's not really 'rotting' in as much as it is 'dead', and
a mushroom is growing on its corpse
decimation: when asked why they were not going to support
a standalone udev, Lennart wrote: "Anyway, as soon as kdbus is merged this i how we will maintain udev, you have ample time to figure out some solution that works for you, but we will not support the udev-on-netlink case anymore. I see three options:
a) fork things, b) live with systemd, c) if hate systemd that much, but love udev so much, then implement an alternative userspace for kdbus
decimation: they got the idea (probably from Lennart) that it would be
a good idea to make udev depend on systemd
cazalla: kuzetsa, there is like 10 episodes and it is

mircea_popescu: other than that, germany is always happy to think that
a claim, no matter how unlikely, to "its gold" is more valuable to it than blowing the scam open.
mircea_popescu: in the entire history of that fucking thing, there's like, one case where the "i'll pay
a little sometime when i can" thing blew up, and that was when mpoe-pr prosecuted harnett's "bank
mircea_popescu: decimation here's the thing with scammers, in bitcoin or otherwise : to the chump,
a "claim" is worth as much as it can be pretended into being worth. and so, to chump-germany or to random tardstalk "investor", it is actually better to credit the scammer ("oh, they'll repay eventually) than to enforce the loss.
mircea_popescu: you srsly just went "we'll see how it goes for employees, maybe 50 btc in danny's wallet is
a great thing for them" ?
adlai: we'll see how things work out for germany in
a decade. who knows, maybe all that gold being bought on the open market will pay off nicely for germany by the time they receive it
adlai: mircea_popescu: but this is
a level beyond, this is "I'll pay you to work for me. Here, you see this bill in my wallet? It's yours already, I promise!"
mircea_popescu: scam ddos, it does nothing by itself, it just hopes and prays maybe someone gives
a shit so that the "countermeasures" actually do some damage.

a year ? three ?
mircea_popescu: diametric: decimation: pretty much whats been happening for the last few days << freenode (and irc generally) isn't exactly
a paragon of predictable behaviour
mircea_popescu: lol people love to herd. you should see teh argentines, it's like their favourite passtime, form
