ascii_field: reading
tlp 'the aspirational images in ads makes you even more xxxxxxxx' feels quite like martian
telling me 'your
tentacles ache every day, which drives you
to drink'
mircea_popescu: the reason you can't
translate
trilema from romanian
to english IS NOT
that you can't move
the references. but he doesn't offer much in
the way of
this benefit.
mircea_popescu: but when i use
throwaways i use
them on
the basis of something, whereas with him
that something's not actually fully formed behind
the
throwaways
mircea_popescu: it's not even a problem of references per se, is
the fucking issue. "don draper", big fucking deal.
mircea_popescu: btw : my first impulse when you made
that quote was omfg i left it out of my last article, it should be in
there! mad chase ensues
to find it in source material, by
the
time i have contextualizatio0n ready i know where it should be in my article
mircea_popescu: myeah. disentangling
this dead dependency is, i will want
to point out, just as much a cognitive nightmare as fixing shit
to compile with inane gcc or w/e
ascii_field: he assumes
that (what he passes off as - i cannot compare it with any objective reality
that i can access) usa 'pop culture' is a
thing
mircea_popescu: yet another is
the discoursive style - it's as if he never actually went
to school.
mircea_popescu: one major problem is
that he has some major fuctardry embedded. another one is
that he insists in using shitty references.
ascii_field: i will admit, i would never even have known wtf is a 'patek philip' if not for
tlp...
ascii_field: paragraph,
to some demented mutants who i neither ever were nor ever met nor ever expect
to meet
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: 'Worse, cynicism and aspirational branding aren't
two opposite ends of a pole,
they form a cycle:
the chasm between your cynical view of real life and
the perfect definition of
the aspirational images in ads makes you even more cynical
towards real life; which drives you further into
the safety of branding. Which is why you drink.' << y'know, i'd appreciate
tlp moar if he were not
talking, in every odd
ascii_field: what,
the... 5th? FULL motherfucking vm escape
this year ??
ascii_field: and even 'Versions 0.2.5 – 0.3.x saved
the decryption key (with other data) in
their own service file, key.dat.
The area containing
the key was zeroed out in
the file only after completing encryption, making it possible
to save
the key by interrupting
the encryptor’s operation (e.g., by
turning off
the computer). After
this,
the key could be extracted from key.dat and used
to decrypt all files.'
ascii_field: 'C&C servers are located on
the
Tor network;
the malware communicates with
the C&Cs via public
tor2web services.'
ascii_field: 'The AES-256-CBC algorithm is used
to encrypt files; all files are encrypted with
the same key... In spite of
the scary stories about RSA-2048 shown
to victims,
this encryption algorithm is not used by
the malware in any form...
The AES-256-CBC algorithm is used
to encrypt files; all files are encrypted with
the same key.'
thestringpuller: i also asked him what a kolhoz, and he looked at me funny and said, "Those haven't existed in a long
time. Although we are probably in one right now."
☟︎ thestringpuller: i printed off your best bash's and showed
them
to him, and he was quite amused
thestringpuller: ascii_field: My Russian piano
teacher enjoys your writing.
ascii_field: (or, at least, palpably ~less~ retarded
than earlier example)
mircea_popescu: they got a whole system down
there i hear, hussies babymomma while derps fuck up linux and wash dishes in
the buff.
ascii_field: funny how
the mug shot looks quite like poettering's
mircea_popescu: some overenthusiastic derp, next in line
to be hearn/poettering/blabla ?
mircea_popescu: right but i mean you don't know
the face you don't know
the name, i guess "nobody" ?
mircea_popescu: the strange idea being
that
they want
to "fix"
the kernel
ascii_field: it happened on
that other planet where folks derp about 'desktop linux' and configure
their boxes with mice etc
ascii_field: since when was
this even considered acceptable by anybody with
two braincells - for version n of a compiler
to refuse
to build something which n-epsilon did happily build ??!
assbot: [linux] older LTS kernels are not compatible

mircea_popescu: ascii_field wasn't it in
that
time
traveling british
thing with
the guy with wild hair and
the
two kids ?
mircea_popescu: ftr : i've been here over a year and i've not pinched a single butt (the plain variety - on
the street, uknown - let's not get into perversion) because a)
they're short and b)
they're petrified.
ascii_field: (turned out, it was a
time machine from an ancient british
tv series where a multiverse-travelling demigod picks up british chix and fights alien vermin etc)
mircea_popescu: never read blogs,
they drag you down
to
their level and
then beat you with experience!
ascii_field was never able
to fully hold in laughter when hearing of 'tardis'
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."
keyless: for all
the climate deniers in
the room.
keyless: just listening
today (mike_c at work). Don't have my key accessible.
davout: the smell from afar is going
to be more
than enough for me
thestringpuller: hearn's newest article is so desperate, I can
taste
the fear.
mircea_popescu: (psa : if you're female, in your 20s and ~couldn't~ replace either girl at my option, you fail at life. practice more,
this is important. reading jezbel is not.)
mircea_popescu: There's only one
thing it can do: say
that
these women don't know better,
that
they're broken women from broken homes...
that
they're not real women."
mircea_popescu: "That's
the
trick of Shame. "He's an attractive, wealthy, guy with a big penis (did you see it, ladies?) but he's not using it properly..." Brandon's sex addiction makes him very un-desirable, no one watches Shame and says, "wow, I want
to be Brandon" and no woman says, "wow, I want
to be with Brandon."
The opposite is
true for
Tucker Max, who is popular with women, especially
the very women
that he "degrades." Now
mircea_popescu: i
think it might be about
three or four different oens
tho
davout: imma read
the article,
this way i'll get
to skip one
third of
the log :D
mircea_popescu: really makes more sense for you
to buy her a diamond
than for her
to
turn
tricks and bring you
the money.
mircea_popescu: " Sex addiction rarely breaks laws so it can't be punished, and
there's no God so
the immorality of it is debatable, i.e. inconsequential. It must be a disease,
that way other people don't want
to catch it. All psychiatric
treatment of constructed syndromes isn't about cure but about regression
to
the mean, where mean= cubicle drone. " not even, just... please believe
that monogynous fambly is
the only fambly and it
mircea_popescu: "i know nothing about how kernels work but i'm 36 and i don't
think
the nielsen box in my house does enough
to mess up society - here's some rephrasing i've done in my mysteriously abundant spare
time"
mircea_popescu: or, "how
the women nobody can be bothered
to fuck anymore are getting into everyone's business any chance
they get".
mircea_popescu: ddicts we see in movies and on
the news are: rock stars, politicians, sports guys, CEOs. If you
think about
the demo primed
to receive
this depiction of lothario as sex addict-- women over 35, i.e.
the demo for Shame-- sex addiction needs
to be seen as
terrible because it is
terrible for
them. It may also be
terrible for
the sex addict, but fuck you, we have a society
to run."
mircea_popescu: "Take a look at Brandon. When media wants
to depict a sex addict
they depict
the wealthy,
the good looking,
the powerful,
the well hung.
There are plenty of slimy basement dwelling janitor sex addicts out
there, but
they are represented as sex offenders.
There are also plenty of gay sex addicts out
there, but
they are represented as gay. Both of you are dismissed,
the world has no
time for your nonsense.
The sex a

punkman: why does parallel universe matter? local app must find
the key in blockchain, verification is when
the key works
mircea_popescu: whole
thing is a
trivial example of WHY usg doth not want a sane bitcoind, ie, a 700kb one./
mircea_popescu: i suppose it goes on
the
to-do list once someone myseriously disappears.
mircea_popescu: could be a spv wallet even. it just checks for a speciffic address being paid, derived from
the key.
mircea_popescu: not like you can't make one of
these as an actual autonomous system sitting in hdd cpu
