asciilifeform: ( fact however remains : asciilifeform needs 'night life' like fish needs thyratron. )
asciilifeform: on top of this, asciilifeform strongly suspects that dumber, sadder aboriginals than his current ones, exist entirely nowhere outside of perhaps africa
asciilifeform: d00d gotta figure out what he wants, and quickly, or will surely end up on wrong end of the 'кто не с нами тот против нас'(tm)(r) stick
asciilifeform: trinque: all else being equal, i prefer to at least try an' triage , not like we're awash in surplus hands. but whoknows, possibly yer right
asciilifeform: imho he quite definitely has a brain, and isn't politically disaligned, even ( his www is imho a++, sorta qntra-flavoured ) , but recently bit by a tick or sumthing, preoccupied with some inscrutable insult to honour or i dunno. potentially recoverable.
asciilifeform: shinohai: didja see the deedbot www thing, where you have null strings for all yer outgoing ratings ? was this deliberate setting, or is trinque's mechanism buggy ?
asciilifeform: imho ben's oughta be a toggle, for side-by-side test
asciilifeform: reminds me of a daily life lulz ; not long ago asciilifeform repaired a washing machine, early '90s item , one of the last made in usa . and it had clamps on internal hoses that could not be reached with any conceivable tool, repairer was evidently expected to supply 20-30kg of squeeze with... hand.
asciilifeform: 'I don’t wear my tail because it’s cute or looks good in photos. I wear it because inside I’m untamable as a wild animal' << aaa waat
asciilifeform: 'And he’ll yes I treat my life like a supermarket. It’s my gd life for fucks sake lol' << ahahaha jwz!
asciilifeform: shinohai: loads nao; looks like intermittent thing
asciilifeform: hey shinohai -- loox like your www eggogs
asciilifeform: it's exactly same, afaik, diff is that they got the printing press
asciilifeform: i can picture this. it beggars belief tho, because ' mp: d00d, yer tanker has no bottom ' ' tat: but i want to sail!! ' 'mp : sail by yerself then '
asciilifeform: that was a quite serious experimental result. d00d oughta have taken it as honour to have helped produce it
asciilifeform: i've since forgotten over what precisely he was finally drummed out... iirc he raised a stink over demise of 'war of life' www or something related
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc thread was about TaT et al making brief comeback to kako chan
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836677 << coupla yrs back asciilifeform was able to guess the internal arch and disasm some of that nic init crapola. it's completely meaningless without somehow reversing the die -- consists of coupla thousand writes to hardware regs of unknown function. i suspect that this is entirely typical.☝︎
asciilifeform: ? And so traditional culture gave way to consumerist culture, proper meals became bags of chips and bottles of pop not for any other reason than the satisfying tearing sound, that fschhhh of a bottle that's never again going to be a bottle ever again, and here we are'
asciilifeform: 'It's really very much a thing, and the collapse of traditional society, with its reusable houses intended for multiple generations, populated with cast iron pots capable of making many thousands of meals and solid oak tables to be slowly ground into cleanliness each week eerily reflects the return of agitated young males from the battlefields of World War Two. Who's going to tell "our brave boys" that they can't have what they want
asciilifeform: funnily enuff , stalin by all appearances realized that he's working with defectives, went through 3 rounds of killing off the left half of his staff , evidently needed 4th, 5th, but old age caught up.
asciilifeform can't comment fully objectively, as he is muchly product of the 'wood trunk' , in 9000 ways.
asciilifeform: however personally i count it as lucky break that he left some romanians, heh.
asciilifeform: it's a character flaw, property chumpatronics has very little to do with it i suspect
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, i wasn't surprised when d00d confessed. ( tho admittedly 'under the heel' d00dz existed in the past, and even orcistan, e.g. saharov )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836594 << pretty great. but reminded me , 'As such, I'm just going to provide a pointer to the Quicklisp installation page and leave it at that' << at some point 'quicklisp' will have to be cured. right nao it's an open-ended heathen hole.☝︎
asciilifeform: spyked: very interesting -- did they bring back the use of ddt ??☟︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836595 << the vga bios ?? it's, what, 80kB, and runs on boot strictly, you can disasm it ( e.g. see that it dun install oddball smm handlers etc ) , problem is that the work ain't worth much for any 3d card known to me, because still demands multi-MB kernel bincrapola☝︎☟︎
