BingoBoingo: <phf>
there are stores in u.s. where you can buy some quality rope. hemp, jute, nylon in garish colors, all by
the meter.
there's probably a harness worth of rope next
to a dildo collection in every dorm << "Rural King" is
the best of
those places. Can get rifle, circus peanus, cattle prod, and flowers in
the same
trip.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
the whole libtard charade literally busting at seams. << I'm
telling you cultural fukishima.
The core has breached
shinohai: If my mother were still around, she'd probably ask me how
to install all
the
toolbars and IE.
jurov: i
tried
to find simplest possible calculator app
shinohai: I'd rather do everything with a quill pen and ink
than use an ipad for anything.
ben_vulpes: "On iOS 9.1, Safari
tries
to support
this, but it is dreadfully buggy. Instead of paging down just less
than one screen-height of content, it pages down about 1.5 screen-heights of content." << continuing
the "apple can't make usable software"
thread
ben_vulpes: "First, when
the iPad Pro is open with
the keyboard attached, holding your arm up
to
touch
the screen for anything longer
than a moment or
two is ergonomically uncomfortable. " << fucking duh, your arm wears out. human factors research on
the shop floor demonstrated
this decades ago, but does
the american
tech industry know or give a shit? ahahaha don't make me choke
mircea_popescu: well, firefox complains, but if i hit it up with curl on
the same agent string it just hits a dumbass redirection
thing. prolly some cookie based discrimination and fuck me if i have
the patience
to debugt
the webshitstack.
ascii_field: they 'came out of nowhere' in
the 1960s-early-70s - as a concession
to
terro^H^H^H^H^protesters
ascii_field: (it was quite similar
to what appears
to be happening now)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: are you familiar with
the process whereby
the 'xyz studies1111!1' departments at u.s. univ. came
to exist ?
mircea_popescu: best "victims of our own success" story of
the decade, really.
mircea_popescu: the grunts know why
they're showing ivy league
the dead cat. /me enjoys
the popcorn while people we don't like fight
to
the death.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field understand : if
the "huge hedge fund masquerading as church" engine gripes,
the democrat party will have
to be restructured.
analmaster: i
thought
they just
throw
them off
the cliff
mircea_popescu: yes,
they're all soviets. slightly hungry pissed off low level grunt soviets vs fatcat libertard soviets.
mircea_popescu: like soviet union was on both sides of
THAT chessboard.
mircea_popescu: throw rocks at
the media, force
them
to pick
the "evil people" narrative.
mircea_popescu: obviously you can't make "the media" aka usg agitprop machine unhave all
the vans and ex-sorority chicks and whatnot. so
the only practical solution when you can't prevent
them acting on
their options is
to limit
their options
to one.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the rules for successful are very simple : a)
throw rocks ; b) no media.
mircea_popescu: a reality show, and by
the
time Naomi Klein got
there I had already been
told
to expect someone like her. Do you see? She had already appeared before she got
there. Yes, I can
take pride in
thinking for myself but if I'm going
to be honest, all I'm doing is reacting
to what I'm
told
mircea_popescu: The reason "peaceful protests" don't work anymore is because now
the protests are slower
than
the media coverage. When
they
threw
the
tea in Boston Harbor it was urgent, immediate, and by
the
time
the press could interpret it it had already been digested by
the public. But now even before
the protest reaches critical mass
the media, whose agents outnumber
the protestors 100
to 1, has packaged and produced it, like
mircea_popescu: If you hold a protest and you aren't
throwing rocks it will fail. I'm not
telling you
to
throw rocks, I'm explaining why your march won't work.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ima just quote
tlp, because he has a very nice distillation of
the problem :
mircea_popescu: ascii_field
the move of kicking out
the media is not odd in
the slightest.
ascii_field: rumour being, apparently,
that
the somewhat odd move of kicking out reporters is explained by
there having been present 'komyoooonity organizers' from ferguson et al
analmaster: takes a real men
to do
the job here, a real black man.
analmaster: white men just will not do for
the occasion
whaack: Great, I'll
try
to install masamune in
the meantime.
mircea_popescu: perhaps
try and help mod6, he's doing a
ton of different
things, maybe he has
time later
today/this week
to give out discrete
tasks
ben_vulpes: if you're feeling adventurous you could
try installing gabriel_laddel's masamune and
then scream into
the log about gentoo quest
whaack: I've looked at it, and I saw in
the comments it needed
testing so I figured maybe
that's where I could start.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: have you
taken mod6 or asciilifeform's 'v' for a spin yet?
whaack: hey again, I've been working on my "IRC Yeshiva" and been patiently lurking. I wanted
to let you know you have another programmer pretty much at your disposal should you need one.
phf: kakobrekla: is
the current month updating at
that 10 minute interval?
trinque: kakobrekla: wonderful,
ty. I will cron
their deeding
this evening.
ascii_field: things
that have no business mutating, ought
to live on a physical 'WORM' sorta
thing
phf: but
that was not
the
thread i was looking for..
phf: <asciilifeform> speaking of
tape, i've always lamented
that no one sells a reel-to-reel for modern pc
mircea_popescu: i still haven't figured out if he loves immutable (ie,
tar) or else volatile (ie, party bits).
phf: in 60 years will be using "f", a fits in head filesystem implementation by ascii,
that can store
terabytes of data, but
technically indistinguishable from
tape archive
mircea_popescu: jurov
thinking about it,
the non-people's desire
to not-exist is pungent. palpable. yet
they keep getting
their ways out denied, "oh, war is bad", "oh, suicide is
the wrong answer" or blablabla. can't even lick lead paint anymore, can't ride without helmets, honestly we deserve everything we get for stubbornly keeping
the dead alive against nature and its own fucking wishes.
mircea_popescu: i suppose actually
the eachday.txt is
the log already.
mircea_popescu: why not ? could just make directory structure like
trilema does it, by year/month/eachday.txt
mircea_popescu: you know, 100mb every day ? what is
this,
the blockcain ?
jurov: point
taken, even
the remnants of nobility in rural argentina don't have vertical social anymore
trinque: kakobrekla: in either case, once we settle on what gets deeded, I'm happy
to rig up
the cron and make it happen
mircea_popescu: wasn't
that your idea ?
that in fabled south america people didn't actually invent
the
telenovela ?
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> less show-offy, more 'vertical' social life << jurov you are fucking crazy if you imagine
the
thirld worlders are BETTER at being real.
they all got
tvs over here. every god forsaken favela in brazil, salta, what have you has a
tv. no fridge, but
tv.
kakobrekla: well i asked before if you want it chunked or not and
the answer was not
mircea_popescu: i would expect less
than 1% odds of
them ACTUALLY being sexual assault, and perhaps as little as 5-10% of
them being some sort of contravention.
trinque: kakobrekla: I could diff
them on my end, or you could chunk
them on yours
kakobrekla: well are you going
to keep weekly 100mb+ copies of log saved somewhere?
phf: kakobrekla: is
the first column,
the #id ?
phf: there are stores in u.s. where you can buy some quality rope. hemp, jute, nylon in garish colors, all by
the meter.
there's probably a harness worth of rope next
to a dildo collection in every dorm
jurov: i read in south america
there still some of
that system survives.. but i guess mircea_popescu is not interested in herding peasants
pete_dushenski: society, culture,
the whole lot. gone. out
the window. never coming back.
pete_dushenski: jessica, you lose EVERYTHING by affirming
the right, nay,
the duty
to be a victim.
pete_dushenski: ” In
The Washington Post, Zerlina Maxwell argued: “We should believe, as a matter of default, what an accuser says. Ultimately,
the costs of wrongly disbelieving a survivor far outweigh
the costs of calling someone a rapist.”"
pete_dushenski: "Last December, when Rolling Stone’s account of a brutal gang rape at
the University of Virginia began
to unravel, some commentators argued
that we should nevertheless
take claims of sexual assault at face value, on
the grounds
that statistically,
they are very likely
true. “I choose
to believe Jackie,” Jessica Valenti wrote in
The Guardian. “I lose nothing by doing so, even if I’m later proven wrong.
mircea_popescu has a pre-made noose in
this very house! nice
thick rope
too.
mircea_popescu: you wanna
tell me an entire campus never does erotic asphyxiation ?
ascii_field: at my uni we had
two separate incidents, complete with organized mooing, 'candlelight vigils', protest marches, etc. of 'nooses found' (noose is supposed
to be a symbol of impending lynching, yes...) - one
turned out
to be a popped balloon's string on a
tree,
the other - was never seen by any witness save
the instigator of
the hysteria
analmaster: mircea_popescu: where do i go
to live
to escape
this amerikkka
analmaster: i cant wait
to send my children
to a nice school like
this one
mircea_popescu: analmaster and
tghere isn't , becausw really, who gives a shit what
the agitprop machine "says".
analmaster: like
there will be no
trace of anything on
the internets
analmaster: they redact
things without even saying
they are redacting
things
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: dunno if in logs but is
there gonna be an MPOE statement
this month?
mircea_popescu: they gotta pull stories multiple
times a day each day by now huh ?
jurov: but
to avoid inflation, we always got a negative and positive paper with
the same value
together
jurov: as children we were playing
toy casino, and when
the chips ran out we invented
that we issue new ones,
