mircea_popescu: but with
time it becomes uninteresting, and
then
tedious.
phf: fwiw, we're not
talking about mp coming
to
the burn and fucking shit up
mircea_popescu: that i am one of
the few (hopefully i'm not
the only one!) who also bestows
the gift of cognition in
the process does not change
the fact.
mircea_popescu: so yes, if need be or fancy strikes, i will break
through
the delusions of interesting piece of meat.
mircea_popescu: but children and young adults are different populations. i only fuck
the latter.
mircea_popescu: anyway. an inept, unskilled AND DISOBEDIENT populace. in
the quaint words of
the virgin mary, "holy shit dude"
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: ideally a burn is based on willing participants following a set of principles i.e. decommodification.
Traditionally
this results in wealth being "non existent". But ideals and actuality are usually different.
mircea_popescu: if were gonna pour water, could as well poured it
there as here.
mircea_popescu: ie,
they're upset at
the lucky crabs, not at
the guy putting
them all in
the pot.
mircea_popescu: you don't get
to say what
the point is once money walks in.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller optionality follows wealth not will. rich people can do whatever
they want. poorfags however - poorfag.
mircea_popescu: for
the same money
they could
try
to become a cat-dragon or w/e.
try with all
their might,
they still don't get
to.
thestringpuller: there are plenty of rich people who go
to burns with open camps :P
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-12: [18:35:03] <phf> asciilifeform: sort of nobody cares if you're reach, but
there's already been
tension between people who are roughing it and people who are doing it in comfort.
mircea_popescu: optionality follows wealth not will.
this is a point young dicklets love
to eschew, which is why violence is a societal requirement.
mircea_popescu: the fucking entitlement in
that land, it's something else by now.
mircea_popescu: sane country'd have rounded up
the 70k people, beat
the shit out of
them, made
them re-make audio equipment,
tyres etc by hand
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-12: [18:31:52] <thestringpuller> 70k people go
to burning man and establish camps. a small few who aren't really burners just, SF-folk who wanna do drugs and "party" would buy rvs and stuff
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-12: [18:07:19] <phf> i
think
the goal really is
to read paino forte from capacitance. at fortississimo keyboard should start injecting random "fuck" and "motherfucker" into stream as you
type
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-12: [16:59:58] <asciilifeform> dunno about you BingoBoingo but i'm lookin' forward
to
the sovgeriatric era of usa
ben_vulpes: yeah i mean if you buy
that i've got a
ticket
to
this other desert festival
to sell ya
thestringpuller: ^-
the camp in question was
turning
the experience into a commodity...
thestringpuller: full
thing: "In order
to preserve
the spirit of gifting, our community seeks
to create social environments
that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships,
transactions, or advertising. We stand ready
to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist
the substitution of consumption for participatory experience."
phf: asciilifeform:
the california weirdo concept from which "burning man" sprung up.
thestringpuller: phf: Decommodification In order
to preserve
the spirit of gifting, our community seeks
to create social environments
that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships
phf: thestringpuller: burning man is not a
TAZ, so i've no idea what you're
talking about
thestringpuller: phf: well when you commodify
the experience it goes against
the spirit of
the
thing.
phf: asciilifeform: sort of nobody cares if you're reach, but
there's already been
tension between people who are roughing it and people who are doing it in comfort.
phf: asciilifeform: well, i don't know
the details of "white ocean" camp in question, but it usually involved souped up rv's, a staff of paid employees
to do your cooking for you, often direct flight from wherever
to black rock city airport, etc.
thestringpuller: is considered extremely rude
to
the hippie folk who embrace
the spirit and principles of burning man
thestringpuller: and
then have basically burning man "Hotel style" which fine, but it was a "closed camp" which
thestringpuller: 70k people go
to burning man and establish camps. a small few who aren't really burners just, SF-folk who wanna do drugs and "party" would buy rvs and stuff
thestringpuller: out of
the other 70k people a group of
them were probably like "fuck deez guys" went ot
their camp and fucked it up
phf: bezzlers come
to burn, pay for overpriced accommodations, act like assholes.
this year one of
those overpriced accommodations places got raided. water
tank poured onto audio equipment, electric lines cut,
tires punctured, etc.
phf: didn't see
the raid itself, but yeah much
talk was about it on arrival
thestringpuller: phf: Did you see
the raid on
that camp at burning man? Shit's gotten crazy
there. Inhouse fighting.
phf: i
think
the goal really is
to read paino forte from capacitance. at fortississimo keyboard should start injecting random "fuck" and "motherfucker" into stream as you
type
phf: nah, i'm just going
to dremel
the
thing and replace it with cherry switches
phf: i'm having hard
time figuring out how
to even raise
those legs without repainting
phf: both are 6110xxx, but i'll know for sure once i start poking at
them. in either case
they were free
phf: picked
them up from a retrohardware person i know. pretty sure i burned some respect points for being "the retrokeyboard faggot"
phf: like in
that russian joke "i got
two"
phf: i wanted
to fix
the unicode search in
the process, but i'll punt on
that for one. it kind of works, but not surprisingly doing boyer-moore correctly with unicode is ugly and suboptimal.
phf: PeterL: not until i fix
the algorithm,
that was on my backlog but got overtaken with all
the stability issues
PeterL: phf is
there a way
to make search on logs non-case sensitive?
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
