mircea_popescu: anyway, sounds like cheap drama. and it can't be THAT seeing how
rms used a laptop before 2013.
mircea_popescu: and yes, evidently A LOT of asm by hand will go into this. guess what ? this is exactly what the fuck the early c people who made c possible in the sense of having
rms hijack it 20 years later did.
trinque: and
RMS is an ally? looks like a communist to me.
mircea_popescu: yeah, it was part of a discussion of
rms/foss/etc ineptitude.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel the point was that
rms made certain falsifiable statements, that alf took the pains to falsify.
a111: Logged on 2016-02-29 16:55 asciilifeform: so at this point i'm satisfied that
rms either 1) does not actually use an x60 machine with 'libreboot' ~~or~~ does not program.
mircea_popescu: you're getting the brunt of it for your "sin" of being naively open, but whatever, you're a big enough boy to survive it i'd hope : the above orcish "when stated plainly they laugh so whatever, the face trick seems to work" is a large part of why people like
rms failed without meaning to and without realising they were. much like the hurtless cut of the apple carpace.
mircea_popescu: i suppose you could not wash for an entire year, a la
rms...
a111: Logged on 2016-05-20 15:53 mircea_popescu: Framedragger actually, the process of creating github and then confusing git for github, aka embrace and extinguish / "
rms-ing" is also amply discussed in teh logs :)
mircea_popescu: to an alarming degree, which passes for "normal" in the mind of derps like
rms, because it's common and he's confused, computing IS ALREADY TIVOIZED
a111: Logged on 2016-06-30 16:00 asciilifeform:
rms is tragicomic precisely ~because~ he won't let go of fundamentally usgistic thinking
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to phf 's thing : i frankly dun think
rms/frf/etc are relevant here, not anymore than aunt molly's mole is relevant in a discussion of dermatology.
a111: Logged on 2015-01-11 03:50 mircea_popescu: i don't propose that
rms "shouldn't have" or that fsf shouldn't have been or anything of the sort. but really, the pretense that at some point the situation seriously was, red pill vs blue pill and o'reilly of all people tricked everyone into getting the wrong pill...
mircea_popescu: well of course, he exists because the asshole behind ers&co's "we'll get UBER RICH by backstabbing
rms", the one with the shoddy "guide" textbook publishing scam, promoted him way back when.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, you ever made any sense of the
rms notion that "free hardware" is nothing like "free software" ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger actually, the process of creating github and then confusing git for github, aka embrace and extinguish / "
rms-ing" is also amply discussed in teh logs :)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: kinda clashes with the derpage about how "the fsf doesn't consult
rms because he's too slow for school"
phf: it looks like that's their mail server, kind of an odd name, but i don't think
RMS is involved
mircea_popescu: this is evident in, for instance,
rms' early writings about "hacking" at mit or wherever.
phf: in the end wreckers ended up being much more effective against
rms than esr's oss
mircea_popescu: much of the same substance as
rms' "oh, all things belong to all people", ie, lazy reductionism.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the more
rms i read the less i like him. the more i think about
rms, the less i like him.
mircea_popescu: outright terorism. genuine article
rms would have firebombed microsoft offices
mircea_popescu: in any conflict, there's moderate positions, and then there's extreme positions. if the moderate position is represented (such as here by
rms), the problem is papered over, and things continue until we fall over.
mircea_popescu: and for as long as there's a
rms to fuck up things, we'll be waiting.
mircea_popescu:
rms is the true enemy of the republic. he's the mr brian, if you will.
phf: kind of like
rms bringing back mit ai lab, when all the cool kids left for smbx

rms either 1) does not actually use an x60 machine with 'libreboot' ~~or~~ does not program.
kakobrekla:
rms was on nefarios conference as much as nefario was on
rms conference
trinque:
rms strikes me as a few rounds of imitation back from poettering and that ethereum kid
mircea_popescu: anyway, the ridiculousness of form aside, i can readily see the twin point that
rms is catastrophically blind and strategically worthless.
phf: of course fact that emacs supports dbus but not a generic ffi goes back to thread about
rms and wreckers
punkman: asciilifeform: wtf would that even mean ? << other crazy fsf people that want to be
rms pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: is
rms hawking these turds himself ? cui bono from this misdirection ?
phf:
rms doesn't see вредительство as a problem, but it's also the kind of a problem for which there's no technical solution
BingoBoingo: More accurate: Libreboot is perfectly happy to include turds so long as they have an
RMS approved license
assbot: Logged on 20-01-2016 03:57:35; phf: so
rms always had a flexible living arrangements, but at some points he had a tenured office at mit, where he would sleep on the couch. there are multiple accounts of that couch being shared by young ladies. perhaps stories are apocryphal and should echo >> jargon.txt
