mircea_popescu: <milky25> Freenode is registered as a "private company limited by guarantee without share capital" performing "activities of other membership organisations not elsewhere classified", with Christel and Andrew Lee (PIA's founder) as officers, and Andrew Lee having the majority of voting rights
mircea_popescu: <milky25> Handshake cryptocurrency scam is operated by Andrew Lee (276-88-0536), the fraudster in chief at Private Internet Access which now owns Freenode
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <milky25> "All told, Handshake aims to give $250 worth of its tokens to *each* user of the websites the company has partnerships with – GitHub, the P2P Foundation and *FREENODE*, a chat channel for peer-to-peer projects. As such, developers who have existing accounts on each could receive up to $750 worth of Handshake tokens."
mircea_popescu: provided, of course, the whole show's not run off a script the kiddies bought from some dood in russia.
mircea_popescu: but i want to fully realise the republican advantage over the pantsuit morons. this situation where #trilema is safe "and so are their chans" is overt socialism redistributing goods from us to the moronherd.
mircea_popescu: whole thing adds exactly nothing practically speaking.
mircea_popescu: anyway, tbh i'm mostly encouraging the utter collapse of freenode's "security" model. it should be obvious that lode/ae dorks could just as well REGISTER the spambots. it's a fully automated process, what's the problem, emails ? gimme a break.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in any case, gotta let things like fiction characters play out their own life story.
mircea_popescu: as unlikely as it seems ; and it does seem. waves are the result of earth's existence, and the only way to conquer resistance of the medium is to make it work for you.
mircea_popescu: gotta permit fate to speak. for all you know we mgiht discover we didn't even like irc.
mircea_popescu: same administrative/front end. what do you care whose ircd you run ?
mircea_popescu: and while at it, the essential part of "#b-a => #trilema transition happened" isn't even so much the (very extremely never-seen-before) narrow time wondows ; but the fact that ~it very much was~ on own fucking schedule. i don't recall having to hassle anyone about anything. it was a coupla days cuz it took me a coupla days, and it was a week because it took trinque, phf & gang a week.
mircea_popescu: moreover phf deeply has it ; the extant mp-wp infrastructure is wartime sufficient anyways,
mircea_popescu: anyway ; none of this is intended to discourage anyone from inviting people over. but exactly as detailed in ye things have changed article, the "general population" of herbivores has lost the franchise of coming here of own power. it'll be invite only.
mircea_popescu: and for good reason, if one's to weigh the input of rando noobies for the past whatever arbitrary interval, weeks, months, whatever patience may endure, he'll find OODLETONS of self-important douchebaggery, perhaps most eminently exemplified by the
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1824361 scammer ; and ~zilch actual contributing to go with it.
☝︎ mircea_popescu stresses in any case that while precipitated by events, it's nevertheless where this was headed anyway.
mircea_popescu: there's also #eulora an' #pizarro and iirc mod6 had one and a whole bunch. time to put them to work
mircea_popescu: in time, if actually cool enough, can even end up invited here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the fromphuctors can go to what do you call yours, #loperos ?
mircea_popescu: subhumans have no business here ; let them go to whatever castles the respective lords feel like making the allowance.
mircea_popescu: "the man who marries a horse is an excentric man, not a man with a remarkable wife"
mircea_popescu: the pretense that they're people will have to be abandoned sooner or later. like all idle pretense, it is unsustainable on the long term.
mircea_popescu: THAT is the fucking problem, in quite those terms. that i somehow care about the morons. cuz i must, cuz i'm their mother or some dumb shit. but aaanyways.
mircea_popescu: this being the essence of provincialism, though, "have you heard about that guy ?" "oh, yeah, he's my wife's cousin"
mircea_popescu: dude, just come out and fucking say it! "he was nobody on a stick, but we're jews so..."
mircea_popescu: i can scarcely imagine a lulzier scene than argentina-borne monkeys inside german old diesel scrapmetal pile.
mircea_popescu: like one of those mcguyverists that's actually more committed to the duct taping process than to the end product.\
mircea_popescu: they didn't try though. the important part was in the jury-rigging.
mircea_popescu: in case you're wondering how the argentina-uruguay-etc ended up the shitholes that they are, that's exactly it : gave their money away to anarcho-humanitary-pacifisto-veganist & feminists, because "sons of europe".
mircea_popescu: (fellow also went to uruguay, is the tenuous point of apropos)
mircea_popescu: my take is more in the vein of "visual thinkers attempting to rehash the 'hilary pedophilia scandal' for substance and of course plastering '-gate' and 'journalists' labels is how markov chains work".
mircea_popescu: harem girls have harem conversations IN THE FUCKING HAREM. ima talk to the master of the house, not to the chatterchorus.
mircea_popescu: this shit though, where "feelings" became acceptable topics of conversation in public, has gotta fucking cease.
mircea_popescu: kinda made the point to me, that probably we're the only ones to even notice ; the cattle live in their barn on their cattle diet, shit's unremarkable to them.
mircea_popescu: "christel on 2018-07-27 Many of you will have noticed that over the last few days there has been an extensive spambot wave on freenode, and on other networks." after which one loses interest in reading further, seeing how only a moron would use that lede.
mircea_popescu: AUCTION # 338 has ENDED: 8.2k wFF q0 SOLD to mod6 for 1.1bn coppers. Attn: mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: if youi buy a tank of gas for 50 bux gas isn't now 50bux a GALON, it's 50 bux a tank.
mircea_popescu: if you buy 1.1 drinks for 9 dollars the drink rate is 9/1.1 not 9 yes ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 how did it settle at 8200 if you ended up paying 1.1 for it or w/e
mircea_popescu: "you can do anything" ie, in reverse "only what you dream up really exists"
mircea_popescu: no but that's the problem with the dreamer : the very dream.
mircea_popescu: however in the redditard logic, only the one who ~~~specifically agreed~~~ to a bitcoin-for-pizza trade counts. the rest didn't specifically agree and so "it can't be held against them". this is a thing, in the bible, and in inept school systems, and therefore... IT MUST BE HONORED!!!
mircea_popescu: and not "for some reason" but specifically for the reason "it's not rape unless they specifically agree to it". yes everyone buying anything BUT bitcoin for $20 in 2010 WAS taking it, nice and knotty, up the tailpipe.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform basically, the "argument" is there, you know, "10k btc pizza!!1".
mircea_popescu: so because working out, and pressure to get protein, we're now having straight shrimp breakfasts. it's something else.
mircea_popescu: but if you're bored one day, read ye olde tardstalk "investors" threads from the days of yore, before reddit invaded and everyone makes "new coins". then compare with yours, and figure out how and wherefore teh delta lol
