mircea_popescu: i suppose one
thing we could do is change how a111 works so
that on every outbout link posted here it a) makes an archive.is copy of
thje page ; b) downloads
the corresponding zip
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 21:58 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: not only
this, but,
the fella who runs archive.is is... not in my wot
mircea_popescu: there pointedly isn't some "god of
the rolls"
that
this is
to be offloaded
to. if you can't be arsed
to save
the .zip files after someone did all
the fucking hard work you don't even know how
to do nor can motivate self
to even attempt in
the first place,
there's exactly no value you have
to save.
mircea_popescu: there is no way out of
this. inept, infantile bitching about how "php is
too hard for me" and "archive.is might not survive" etc is just so much wasted breath.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, keep a blog, keep it well backed up, so
that if phf asks, you can link him
mircea_popescu: if your
thing dies,
this says you're not worth my
time.
mircea_popescu: we don't have a survival plan for www in
the first place!
mircea_popescu: and IF it goes away, and
that happens BEFORE www goes away, which is
the fucking plan in
the first place ;
THEN maybe we worry about
this, neh ?
mircea_popescu: when it "goes away" you will still have all
the copies you made.
mircea_popescu: did your objection change from "this free service doing a very good job won't last forever"
to "my abilities
to make copies it also provides won't last after it goes away" ?
mircea_popescu: not like archive.is doesn't present you with downloadable copy, preprocessed, if you're
too lazy
to make own html deturdifier.
mircea_popescu: jus' saying, i
take such a dim view of branding i'm not even willing
to consider projects ; merely
the people doing
them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the problem with shit in
trilema is
that people go "lalala nobody cares" and
then five years later
they're begging for a reprise. kinda
too lazy
to go digging for
the various comments of smartasses of
the sort.
ben_vulpes: there are other irons
to hammer in
the meantime,
thouhg.
ben_vulpes: i have a hateful noise machine upon which i intend
to install gigablast eventually.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: not
to motherboard
though?
mircea_popescu: though honestly,
the whole "vice empire" is very much
the same sort of redundant object.
mircea_popescu: ftr, i'm going
to negrate anyone giving interviews
to
this "jordan pearson" shithead.
mircea_popescu: anyway, whatever, suing
the government. what's
the problem, let
them have fun.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly same place it gets
them now. folks more
than ready
to believe, wish
to believe,
that "poloniex" exists, is
trading etc,
mircea_popescu: i dun personally give much of a shit, for exactly
the "Wasn't in wot, isn't a person, can't be buried" reason.
phf: asciilifeform was hating even before knew
the details, so perhaps it's useless
to look for reasons
mircea_popescu: if hitler built schools in ukraina,
they were still fascist schools ;
torn down.
mircea_popescu: it is a crime
to allow stupid people keep
their money.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 21:24 asciilifeform: ftr i have 0 sympathy for folks who ~sell~ warez. i dun care if
they are eaten by usg, or by crocodiles, or martians.
mircea_popescu: the presumption everyone's illiterate in
the anglosphere is so fucking strong...

a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 18:00 asciilifeform: or why he collects megabux of donation simply
to give
to lawyers;
danielpbarron: i'd also like
to know, but if i had
to guess, it looks like a cave
that is located under a body of water
that is draining into it from above, as seen from within
the cave
phf: his fate is not astonishing, but only because man chose
to
throw himself on bayonet
phf: in fact kat was only place
that, if you visited without adblock, would
tell you
to use one
phf: guy was a one man
torrent operation provided oldfags and lusers alike with quality prods, it seems entirely petty
to focus on his ad revenue, and
ties squarely into usg narrative of "he made millions!!!"
phf: kat was an honest successor
to
thepiratebay
a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 20:47 phf: asciilifeform: you happen
to have a djvu archive of теxника-молодежи?
ben_vulpes: part and parcel of financial license in
the states.
ben_vulpes: "please
to
the pretty please
to do what i want instead of what your masters demand? puweaze?"
ben_vulpes: you're not suing
the government, moron, you're suing usg.disney
mircea_popescu: "This is how I know
that anyone who says, "If only I could live in Mad Men
time where you could pinch a girl's ass and not get in
trouble for it" is going
to be way disappointed if a
TARDIS shows up, because
they wouldn't pinch
them back
then, either, not because
they are afraid of
trouble but because
they are afraid of girls. Exhibit A: you know what a
TARDIS is." << guy rocks lol
phf: last moment preparations before leaving
to my home planet
phf: asciilifeform: you happen
to have a djvu archive of теxника-молодежи?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the only
thing
that nobody could have predicted being
the obvious future.
mircea_popescu: they can't of
their own power say "we learned
this was a stupid idea and will not be pursuing it any further." it's
there,
they must keep pouring money in
the sand.
mircea_popescu: phf um, iirc i only kept one,
the one with
the minimum income
thing. you want
that ?
