mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo wait, does that mean idiots trying to make smart people feel bad about being smart ?!
mircea_popescu: all this "blockstream" stuff is so lulzy. random derpy outfit with enough money to cover 18 months' worth of modest burn rate.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform everyone's suggestion seems to be "hey, use perl! bash script! fuck my sister she's a slut anyway!"
mircea_popescu: which is a harder proposition than nobody ever used gpg.
