kakobrekla: they literally call them selfs 'izbrisani'. you will prolly understand the word.
kakobrekla: only to figure out "i dont want to go back to croatia" later on.
kakobrekla: that thought "fuck ill just go back to croatia later"
asciilifeform never had a ru passport, nor is entitled to one, for EXACTLY same reason. where does he sign up to be 'victim'
kakobrekla: and they were 'deleted' for many years.
kakobrekla: the story is they did not get their papers straitened out at the time slovenia parted yugo
asciilifeform: in what consisted the victimization ?
asciilifeform: i mean, how does this work? they were in comparty and now have nothing to do ?
kakobrekla: yes, they call them selfs 'the deleted'
kakobrekla: the thing is, the exploiter a supposed victim of the 1990 yugo breaking up and in has been given 'priority processing' & 'priority lawyer support' from state for free. Exploitee is a poor old woman with nothing.
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: in urban setting it is difficult to keep a sty of pigs to feed corpse to
funkenstein_: the problem appears to be that you asked the judge
asciilifeform: burglar anally expands you daily, until years later possibly judge adjudicates that he shouldn't ?
kakobrekla: wouldnt say lots but i know of one such case happening at this very moment. only its even worse than described.
punkman: kakobrekla: are there lots of squatters in your parts?
asciilifeform: but there, he can also evict you immediately
asciilifeform: (not only this, but the famous 'circular saw' case, recall)
asciilifeform: in usa, if you trip a thief or murderer who is running from police, he can sue and win
kakobrekla: it almost reminds me of monthy python, the vid.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 01:34:19; mircea_popescu: there is no enemy but the enemy.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 13:43:29; punkman: even if phones had good crypto up to basestation, doesn't help that much
punkman: even if phones had good crypto up to basestation, doesn't help that much ☟︎
assbot: A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering: Let's talk about iMessage (again) ... ( http://bit.ly/1K9aipB )
assbot: Logged on 19-02-2015 20:48:27; ascii_field: great sim heist << transparent nsa smokescreen. gsm uses toy crypto since day one (usg mandate) and has always been breakable with minimal effort.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 03:51:24; mircea_popescu: mats that's nice to have. i always puzzled over the incredibly poor security of mobile as a design decision
funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267185 <-- I'm told the phrase is antiquated and mostly used in jest today. Perhaps interesting that the translation of "revolution" is more akin to "molting" than "spinning". ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: only thing that ever gets mirrored is the beheadings, and even those not every time.
asciilifeform: 'youtube' is more or less a censor's wet dream. just about NOBODY ever mirrors these.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 04:37:41; pete_dushenski: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SzIXy-oFlU << if anything is microaggression, this is it. unambiguously directed yet so far from lethal it's laughable.
funkenstein_: "All humans, because of their upbringing, tend toward one of the four “control dramas”: intimidators steal energy from others by threat. Interrogators steal it by judging and questioning. Aloof people attract attention (and energy) to themselves by acting reserved or withdrawing. And poor me’s make us feel guilty and responsible for them."
asciilifeform had, at various times, 85, 86, 89, grey-89
asciilifeform: (89 is essentially the same machine but sans keyboard)
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 03:06:35; BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Damn it, you got me looking at TI-92's nao
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267171 << they are cheap because they were, almost from the day they came out, forbidden to u.s. schoolchildren on account of the qwerty keyboard ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 00:46:13; pete_dushenski: http://righteousmind.com/where-microaggressions-really-come-from/ << A) A Culture of Honor in part 6 aptly describes the wot
funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1266842 <-- thanks -- interesting to idiots like me who have trouble opening my eyes, in naming "the rise of the victim". other bits were cursory at best. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 04:11:58; ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: if gpg is so librarification-resistant, how have you jammed it into the cardano?
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 04:13:30; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-09-2015#1263077 << continuing our series of "power rangers are retarded lol", today's installment : bitcoind's idea of "passwords" allows digita and lowercase characters. no symbols no uppercase. not only does this mean a bitcoind pw is half the strength of a normal pw, but (the actual likely purpose of this retardation) it makes it trivial to identify wallet pa
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267191 << i see no such restriction in therealbitcoin... ☝︎
davout: ;;later tell mircea_popescu sure, send me the details
asciilifeform: can't 'i'll just take one sip'
asciilifeform: even something as mundane as 'show pictures' is VASTLY nontrivial from the sanity perspective
asciilifeform: if you try to implement 'sane subset' (and which would that be?) you end up able to view sites that work fine in lynx anyway - and not much else
asciilifeform: punkman: must render HTML+CSS, with pictures << if you think this results in a proggy that views 'modern www' usably, go and try, e.g., 'dillo' or 'arachne' - the result is disappointing.
punkman: what is 'sane browser' ? << must render HTML+CSS, with pictures. I don't need webfonts/flash/silverlight/java/webgl. A scripting language that doesn't suck would be nice, so I can perhaps write some userscripts for certain websites. Small amounts of signed javascript might be okay.
asciilifeform: need grasp of the ACTUAL mechanism of contagion.
asciilifeform: but if you want to have, e.g., an operating room, it is important that it does not ~end~ there.
asciilifeform: hygiene does not consist merely in the ritualistic and unthinking avoidance of things that stink. though it begins there.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 06:04:07; BingoBoingo: Links, lynx, and curl sure, but still how much ought these be trusted??? WIth their stinky libjpeg
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267539 << again with the miasma theory. ~yes~ the swamp sucks to live in. yes, you get malaria and die. but it is not because of the swamp gas. ☝︎
asciilifeform: punkman: text compresses well.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 04:33:59; gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: because there is a lot of information that needs to be sucked out of the web, and having a 'sharp' blade with which to do this will be quite valuable moving forwards.
punkman: asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267211 << there is unlikely more than a GB or two worth preserving, period. << eh, geddoutofhere. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 please consider updating therealbitcoin www to include the actually usable version thereof ?
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 06:02:15; mircea_popescu: the lulz being that ubuntu gedit goes "do you want this file displayed or executed ?"
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267531 << 'would you like to eat this cake or inject it' ☝︎
asciilifeform: the whole mentality of 'secure' is EXACTLY the miasma theory of disease transmission
asciilifeform: eliminate buffer overflows, use-after-free, type mismatch, by SHOOTING MOTHERFUCKING C MACHINE IN THE HEAD and the whole concept sorta goes away
asciilifeform: and i fucking hate the word 'secure'
asciilifeform: and this seeps into browsers, and not - as commonly supposed - only the reverse.
asciilifeform: there is also the other side of the problem, which is that WWW ITSELF is fundamentally retarded.
asciilifeform: lynx is right there. go, use.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 08:40:53; mircea_popescu: making a SECURE browser would kick so much ass... and it is not actually THAT hard. not in the sense that it's not hard, but in the sense that we have an IMMENSE advantage over everyone else, from mozilla to who have you, in the "piss on the world and light it on fire" doctrine.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267769 << in what way is this hypothetical item distinct from 'lynx' ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: ergo there is nothing to do re: browsers at this time.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 08:40:07; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267355 << i must confess i am very much enamoured with the idea of a b-a web browser.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267767 << this is a CATASTROPHICALLY bad idea, because any attempt is simply asking for self-delusionary masamunification (sorry gabriel_laddel, but you know precisely what i mean.) -- this being, 'aha this is a turd, but WE made it and therefore doesn't stink and is somehow edible' ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: see also canonical thread, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-03-2014#548272 ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 06:49:05; mircea_popescu: nd him were worthy of being told about it. for all you know the notions of "progress and science" incumbent in the perspective you propose are so much masturbatory jizz, and in point of fact intelligent people share their thoughts exactly like a comedian shares his routine : to friends, in a social environment, for the same reasons in the same ways.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267699 << this is an excellent point, and the standard narrative of 'progress, science' is very much reminiscent of the old claptrap re: 'building communism together!!11!!!11' ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2014 00:46:13; asciilifeform: have to understand, jet fighter is not really a complete machine. it is a tentacle of the larger industrial slave empire which produced and employed it.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 06:42:51; BingoBoingo: Especially relevant for gabriel_laddel: "Babbage, even with remarkably generous support for his time, could not produce his great arithmetical machine. His idea was sound enough, but construction and maintenance costs were then too heavy. Had a Pharaoh been given detailed and explicit designs of an automobile, and had he understood them completely, it would have taxed the resources of his kingdom to hav
asciilifeform: everyone uses 'half-baked, bug-ridden implementation' of wot. even idiots. the idiot version of wot for email is, roughly, 'reject all messages not coming from u.s. fortune-500 corp domains.'
kakobrekla: yea, the sadness.
asciilifeform: or NOTHING GETS THROUGH
asciilifeform: shinohai: i run a mailserver, of approximately the same kind as mircea_popescu, but when i need to communicate with 'civilians' i end up forced to use gmail.
shinohai: Ironically I have zero problem with Spam on my email provider. Trilema hates it though.
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 22:01:26; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1266458 << the principal way through which the usg world of chimps succeeds is by getting the intelligent people to withdraw rather than kill them.\
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 06:43:01; mircea_popescu: my spamsolution is that all incoming from emails i never sent to is autodropped.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 06:41:47; mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes let it be noted that i had no problem witgh spam, in spuite of not using google.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267676 << knuth also has no problem with spam. and for approximately the same reason. ☝︎
asciilifeform: see also the jwz thread.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 06:41:27; BingoBoingo: trinque: Nah Opera/Fastmail beats the shit out of Google
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267674 << the way this works is that google silently drops messages not coming from 1) itself 2) 'blessed' usg-megacorp entities ☝︎
asciilifeform: making use of brutes, in whatever capacity, is how we ended up buried in the pile of shit in which we sit.
asciilifeform: programming a computer is not building pyramid, there is no legitimate role for brute muscle.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 06:35:19; gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: but goddamnit I need interns. I got maxima loaded into my master lisp proc over the weekend and I'm going to play around with that whenever I have free time.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267652 << do you ever, when driving car, think 'i need to harness more horses to this' ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: (but if you ~really~ like the farm, try 'ed'...)
asciilifeform: which is why there is not the option of living on a farm in the countryside. you ARE in a city, and the choice is between mexico city and tokyo. i'll take tokyo^H^H^H^Hemacs tyvm.
asciilifeform: and it doesn't even have user-interaction, like text editor !
asciilifeform: try and sit down and read that.
asciilifeform: items like 'nano' is precisely how the unix crud remained dominant among thinking people for as long as it did. it has a clean coat on the outside, and presents the illusion of hygiene, for so long as you do not care to look inside. in EXACTLY the same way as a coffin hides the decay of a corpse.
asciilifeform: which must be oh-so-clean for their removal, aha.
asciilifeform: http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.2/BUGS << list of selected cockroaches removed from the kitchen.
asciilifeform: if i want a line feed, i will PRESS THE FUCKING HUGE KEY ON MY KBD WITH THE ARROW ON IT
asciilifeform: and ftr i fucking HATE nano. it SHITS SPURIOUS LINEFEEDS into pasted text !!
asciilifeform: btw, 'nano' is titanically bloated - see, http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.2/faq.html#3.6
