mircea_popescu: "being flaming imbeciles with no inclination
towards work".
mircea_popescu: environment not yet ripe for "fuck you - breaking
the law by license!" alexandrine solution
mircea_popescu: and if a community vote is held
to silence
the complaints for racist and whatrever,
mircea_popescu: he basically saw himself as a sort of jimbo wales. except forgot
the part where
tardpedia can contain anything, epistula non erubiscit, but
the compiler doth complain.
mircea_popescu: various reasons = being flaming imbeciles with no inclination
towards work
mircea_popescu: or if you prefer, poorly socialised. still entertains
the delusion
that he'll make a nice woman out of marble and invent a lock
that'll keep rats out of his granary.
mircea_popescu: and
to
take
the discussion up a coupla levels of abstraction :
this is not a
technical problem in any sense. in fact,
the only
thing
that a classification of problems into
technical and otherwise says is
that ~the classifier~ is broken in
the head.
mircea_popescu: this of course means you must support arabic ligature in your kkkapp made specifically
to scrawl white supremacist nonsense on virtual
toilets in gta4.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the reasoning goes,
that if arabs have no way of knowing
they're arabs, such as for instance if
the use of
THEIR script happens
transparently everywhere,
then
they won't be able
to maintain a sense of nationality and consequently jena bush's
tush will remain unmolested.
phf: not
to mention
that freetype pulls in
the whole dodgy freedesktop stack. why do i need 5 different libraries
to support arabic ligatures?
phf: his (and mine) pet peve at
the
time was mandatory freetype (i
think
that linux's dodgy hinting and antialiasing are worse
then running it aliased and at
the
time i wanted bitmap fonts everywhere)
phf: "why is
this freedesktop shit being compiled in with no way of disabling it"
phf: tuomo valkonen has been ranting about
that stuff back in 2005 or so
assbot: “Has Linux lost its way?” comments prompt a Debian developer
to revisit FreeBSD after 20 years |
The Changelog ... (
http://bit.ly/1LPWGNH )
phf: of course fact
that emacs supports dbus but not a generic ffi goes back
to
thread about rms and wreckers
phf: i
think emacs has dbus support
to do fluff like message notification, last
time i built it on linux it built without dbus just fine, but i prefer xlib/athena widgets (i know ascii hates
them), since i basically disable menu/scrollbar/etc. not sure if maybe gtk widgets now have dbus hardwired
jurov: ;;later
tell fghj ^
PeterL: in other news, my
trb node (syncing since January) is now up
to July 2014
mircea_popescu: sorry, should have announced
trilema article in advance for cia/nsa/blablabla.

assbot: Logged on 29-02-2016 13:45:59; asciilifeform: yes, it is better
to sleep ad libitum, and wash yourself in
the morning with fresh virgin
tears and panda milk.
thestringpuller: PeterL: prob why
they used
to make a lot of escape from new york movies.
assbot: Logged on 29-02-2016 13:35:07; asciilifeform: 'Do I really have
to be forced
to use accessibility if I want just
the gtk gui? I don't have
the
time needed
to learn
to modify ebuild, and keep a separate overlay... I want
to use Gentoo, not keep building it forever. Do I really have
to accomodate for remote seat
to be able
to use Gentoo? '
PeterL: world would be better off if
they all get sick and die
PeterL: millions of people live in new york, and
they all just assume somebody else is keeping
their stuff running for
them
mircea_popescu: i do not believe anyone alive
today can answer
this question cogently.
PeterL: I guess my question is: where does NY city pull it's drinking water from? Is it at all connected
to
the Hudson River?
mircea_popescu: jurov "doing on
the side" means, fucking, as an extra, other
than current relationship.
mircea_popescu: it's "unmaintainable" ie, unmaintained. once it goes, it goes. start
trucking water bottles for 5mn people.
mircea_popescu: PeterL you are aware NOBODY KNOWS what ny water does, not anymore. shit in
there
that hasn't been
touched in 50+ years.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla jurov either of you doing on
the side
the gfs of any croatian nazi leader doods ?
that might know
this guy ? lol.
PeterL: yeah, I know about MI water, but NY is leaking into
their river, are
they
taking river water into
their drinking water?
PeterL: It wasn't clear in
the story, is
the nuclear problem in New York leaking into
their water system and poisoning everybody?
mircea_popescu: think about it - by
the
time a nuclear plant starts crying out for lack of maintenance, how badly maintained was everything else ?
mircea_popescu: and new york has been failing
to maintain it's nuclear power plants.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, water infrastructure has decayed
to
the point nobody involved EVNE KNOWS you can't drink from lake
then switch
to river
PeterL: trinque: I wonder if we ever get gossipd
to replace freenode, will we still have
these sorts of connection problems?
trinque: switched
to
the chat.freenode.net rotation, joins.

☟︎ trinque: wtf happened
to freenode
this weekend?
assbot: Logged on 25-08-2014 03:08:03; asciilifeform: busy as a bee << funny
that
they show an idiot sow scrubbing, and not, e.g, paul erdos crapping out
theorems
assbot: Logged on 29-02-2016 07:13:02; mircea_popescu: contrary
to a whole lot of gargle,
the list of +ev usage is ~empty.
assbot: Logged on 29-02-2016 06:37:37; phf: it was mostly a rhetorical question, i just
think
that once you cross certain line with a substance, perhaps it's worthwhile
to
try something different. but since coffee guzzling is mostly done from lack of attention, perhaps it's not a good idea
punkman: "basically, Grsecurity fixes what Linus leaves open and unprotected for whichever reason in
the GNU/Linux kernel, and
that seems
to annoy
the genius very much... It's a real
though subdued war out
there, and Grsecurity had a moment of mild failure for a few days, exactly after a major contribution by, wait, wait!... by
the Dear Leader himself..."
eth2: i guess you've had quite a lot of visitors
today haha
