asciilifeform: i imagine a maggot's idea of heaven, this, the fresh meat with no prev maggot crew.☟︎
asciilifeform: delish, the smell of fresh corpse, to these, apparently.
asciilifeform: btw upstack peanut gallery thread has coupla interesting nuggets : apparently vultures already circling, professional politruks already publishing their projected ~expenses against linux~ for their 'service' of 'administering code of conduct'
asciilifeform: ( whether could have won, or not, whoknows, usg 'court' is approx a bank balance contest. but did not even TRY )☟︎
asciilifeform: linus in principle had the right to sue for immediate desist of use of his trademark. did not do it.
asciilifeform: there appeared out of the usg depths, this squid, 'linux foundation', sponsored at various times erry possible scamola, prb, later gavinisms, tor, etc
asciilifeform: Mocky: i'm not aware of any public discussion re subj to follow, outside of the l0gz
asciilifeform: back then was still possible to explain as act of stupidity, tho
asciilifeform: could argue that he already begun quisling when he permitted 'linux foundation' ( sponsor of such 'luminaries' as gavin ) to make use of his trademark
asciilifeform: then again, for all i know, d00d is already trooly and properly dead, and the surrender was penned for him. ( btw anybody located a signed copy ? and what's the most recent signed linus material anyway ? )
asciilifeform: was 'silent like partizan'. until day x.
asciilifeform: and ftr i dun buy mircea_popescu's 'was always a shit' hypothesis. d00d by any possible measure 'by the fruits' was NOT always-shit.☟︎
asciilifeform: colour me thick, but i fully expected he'd take cyanide publicly before descending to this kind of bottom.
asciilifeform: it is interesting to consider diff b/w esr and linus. esr judased a thing he had 0 part in baking, and wanked for 20y on the periphery of. linus on oher hand merrily fucked not only the folx who were dumb enuff to invest 25y into baking with him, but... own life's work☟︎
asciilifeform: ( spoiler : either 0, see above, or >0, in which case microshit gets an even bigger crater than it originally paid for )
asciilifeform: so in principle afaik yes folx can demand to get their coad pulled from sjw.linux. nao, what practical result will be, no prizes for guessing.
asciilifeform: ianal, but per current usg copyrasty system, copyrights in fact stay with authors, unless sold ( apriori, as in 'work for hire', or post -- if sold, or reassigned by idiot for phree, as e.g. rms demands of authors )
asciilifeform: i expect either a) whole thing is made to silently evaporate , via the usual means b) gpl is formally unwound by usg 'courts', so rathead et al can carry along. i dun see a c) ...
asciilifeform: 'Contributors: You were promised something, you laboured for that promise, and now the promise has become a lie. You have remedies available to you now, as-well as in the close future .' etc
asciilifeform: not really equaled since ( tho supposedly the recent led panels just about reproduce the old crt phosphours -- but i cannot bring myself to buy, they suffer some 1980s-esque 'burn in' )
asciilifeform: Mocky: trinitron was (imho) the acme of display
asciilifeform: Mocky: out of curiosity, from what didja study
asciilifeform: spread like a lolcat meme, and mostly vanished away as the old students died away, perestroika 'modernity' took hold and brought manufactured dopes
asciilifeform: very peculiarly by ameri-lights, there was no 'dope market', 100% of the eaters made own
asciilifeform: in '80s su, there was a period when undergrads 'rediscovered' meth, on own power, as ephedrine was openly sold by the litre 'for asthmatic'
asciilifeform: last i recall, snot-nose pills were removed from shelves because 'ephedrine, and somebody could methylate it!' , in mid-2000s
asciilifeform: phunphakt, this is one of those 'national seekoority' things they claim extraterritoriality on -- fuck a 17.99999yo in paris, bang, you're assange
asciilifeform: trinque: aha, gotta clerk doj with these, they're primo material
asciilifeform: considering that usg apparatus runs ~100% on them at this point
asciilifeform: trinque: well yes, gotta keep up the production of nedeflorenas somewhow
asciilifeform: ^ su had ~similar article in penal code, and was called this by typical zeks.
asciilifeform: iirc jury deliberated for all of 10 seconds.
asciilifeform: i actually have a d00d, at the outer foggy reaches of my l2, who did 5y for 17yo.
asciilifeform: they see it as righteous dekulakization.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's the 1 thing ameritards all seem to agree on. gun, dope, 'illegal' finance, etc cases, sometimes jury nullifies. but 'fucked 17yo? 20 to life' seems to be solidly a-ok by typical ameri-idjit
asciilifeform: ( or if you like, castration cult rose up in rome, they tried to ddt, but... ) lol
asciilifeform: castration cult rose up in old europistan, french, spanish, tried to stomp it out, failed, y'know the rest
asciilifeform: 'puritan ethic' or how did they call it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: who ? all the wizened derps, starting with that defrocked general, and all the way down to typical ameri-konsoomer, the one who gets to maybe see cuntlips when he's 'been good' to picket fence wife and bought her n-th house
asciilifeform: the unquenchable hatred of the elliots for d00d who had some sort of quasi-desirable sex somewhere , somehow , also , i suspect, helps
asciilifeform: there's a reason they try to set up 'fucked 17yo' for these, it is a kind of gold standard, rather like the old 'trotskyite counter-revolutionary activity', tends to put a cork in all discussion in derposphere by harnessing the healthy hatred for podesta-style pedo, insta-alchemizes accusation into 'guilt', etc☟︎
asciilifeform: ^ what they called this system in the old su.
asciilifeform: социалистическая законность (tm)(r) btw.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the usual reddit-idjit red herring. ( as if he ~had~ to fuck a 17.9 y.o. whore, to be put on assange list, and would somehow not have sufficed that he wore leather shoes, or maybe said unkind word re j00z, or torrented 'star wars ixxxv' or whatever )
asciilifeform: ( erry bit as snoar as it sounds, iirc . but somewhat surprised that 0 log . )
asciilifeform: ( quite likely even what got him nominated for woodchipper, i can't picture anybody on either side giving half a shit re umpteenth micro-cnc )
asciilifeform: or, moar recent example, the (gassed yet?) wilson d00d. apparently on top of the cnc thing, also made a 'hatreon', 'nazi' clone of patreon pantsuitism
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: pretty typical, as i understand, for 'rear-wheel-drived' fellas ( btw i wonder what they're called in ro )
asciilifeform: but from their own eyes, naturally, 'mystery'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: from human pov, ~all~ of what these derps do is 'purely performative' -- rather like those ruminants whose horns are set at such angle that they can never actually ding one another
asciilifeform: 'i sat and preached to this pig sty for decade, whaddayamean pigs dun win elections'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in so far as i can tell, d00d was actually dumb enuff to believe that 'reddit right is a political force to be reckoned with' or somesuch
