mircea_popescu: Се́веро-Кавка́зский край really really really ridiculously well supplied with all kind and manner of foodstuffs!
mircea_popescu: i dunno why anyone looks to hollywood for fiction production. the usg directorate of propaganda manages some pretty hysterical comedies.
mircea_popescu: techcrunch.com/2016/12/08/the-libreboot-c201-from-minifree-is-really-really-really-ridiculously-open-source/ :D
mircea_popescu: am i supposed to not notice the overpowering flavour of mendacity, "hey, we already did what phuctor does!!!!" story all over again ?
mircea_popescu: techcrunch.com/2017/08/11/the-minifree-libreboot-t400-is-free-as-in-freedom/ << lol the ersatzen.
mircea_popescu: so yes, it is not possible to fight tmsr when it comes to this. all shall crumble before it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: from experience, the only incentive is purelty internal : slave belongs inside, goes inside.
mircea_popescu: there's just about 0 convenience delivered by the tools of "convenience" and "usability".
mircea_popescu: except the part where the convenience of doing stupid thing is just as inconvenient as anything.
mircea_popescu: otherwise they wouldn't go about pretending like they believe google is in any way different from groupon, a purely imaginary, 100% paper construction.
mircea_popescu: same thing here, by purely behavioural standards they're as aware as could be.
mircea_popescu: can't apply livresque standards of awareness to the herd, they're not human in that sense. you believe cattle is aware of electified fence, even if no cow ever sat down with you and stated as much over beers and buffalo wings.
mircea_popescu: seems perfectly aware and very very fucking threatened to me, lol.
mircea_popescu: if the priors are anything like a) "anyone should have access to computers" and b) "to use as they see fit", you'll be back to some kind of nsa fritz chip in very short order, especially if you're committed to equalitarian socialism (or, "democracy", to use the in-universe names)
mircea_popescu: the practical problem, though, is that depending of how generous you are with the notion of user, a world without such an interface may not even be possible.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, imagine the ambiguity we dwell in! it's not even fucking clear.
mircea_popescu: and as far as most mouthbreathers are concerned, the world is too much and the little glass bead of "nigger explains what '''events mean to me'''" archsufficient.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but, amusingly enough, the conversation with the chick who thought herself a domme controls here! imagine that, you know, sex determining matters scientific, how unfair and improper and in breach of implicit promises made by the "civilisation" of tedious old women.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, none of the fucktards can, or ever have, or have any intention of reading source.
mircea_popescu: pretty lulzy because over here it's so low budget, you can directly see the underwiring.
mircea_popescu: i thought i linked some "genius orc" kids at some point.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, re gtk+ 3, observe that the dumbass orcs in the comment section are all about "i don't see why you wouldn't '''upgrade''' your desktop to browserhood"
mircea_popescu: Mocky, would it be a good time to try out your foxybot nao ?
mircea_popescu: not the time chicks kept coming in to show us their tits, that's no secret, is that ?
mircea_popescu: you mean like that one time we took over a bunch of electricity generators for lulz ? or what secrets.
mircea_popescu: yeah, i wasn't about to take you for one of the fet sluts. what brings you here ?
mircea_popescu: if he hadn't heard of the third reich instrument of surrender he'd be going around his village singing "tomorrow belongs to me". as it is, he derps on the periphery of google. if he realised tmsr owns the world he'd be "community organizing" for you. and so on.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you mean specifically on sending alphabet packing out of computing ? or more generally ?
mircea_popescu: (gtk, for the disinterested, is "let's migrate the browser model to the desktop".)
mircea_popescu: well i suspect it's rather the case he'd like to buy ~something~.
mircea_popescu: lol. mkay, it goes back many years and there's a lot of material. generally it's recommended noobs spend 6 months reading through it.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the reason this rather than some random other idiocy is the centerpiece inca relies on to survive is not coincidental. deeply seated fantasy of the narcissist mind.
mircea_popescu: i expect. it'd be just like bond, right ? haime bond ?
mircea_popescu: hopefully the dood stays true to his word, comes back in normal clothes.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, no but this was recentlier. we were discussing the "gang" from the sex move.
