BingoBoingo: Fucking perl all the way down
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform everyone else equally unable to distinguish.
asciilifeform unable to distinguish
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo there's no such "rejection by default". either she was rejected by someone specifically, or else she didn't even fucking apply.
BingoBoingo: And a disappointingly large number of boomsticks when viewed alongside their infrequent use
BingoBoingo: The void rejected amy. You know, the people who thought Trump was a clown back before they all died. All that's left there is void.
mircea_popescu: rejected slavemeat's almost sad ; the escapists tho, they're the stupid cunts that "don't even have to".
mircea_popescu: "All the info I see is that this is very old tech and programming. The Symbolics company actually is no longer around." dumb cunt's doing "support" by looking shit up in google.
mircea_popescu: "The Genera Software environment is for using tapes with your Mac, correct?" << keks.
BingoBoingo: "This does look to be nearly 20 year old tech. It was used as a supplement for the process to work on I/O devices. It’s actually not needed at all with your system."
mircea_popescu: moreover, between those two you've got the whole us "culture".
mircea_popescu: the positive conditioning, "buy this" works ~ok, but the negative conditioning, "avoid this" works quite well.
mircea_popescu: there's these little buttons ustard's conditioned to react to.
mircea_popescu: most menalone / retards-in-tech are very well disciplined to immediately drop anything that's legalesed. much like menalone / retards in "humanities" are disciplined to drop anything labeled "fascist"
mircea_popescu: seems "license" wank around the gnat would be an ideal spot.
asciilifeform: ...related convo from coupla days ago: pet: 'hey that's a woodchipper going by' a: 'aha' pet: 'how come it didn't stop, why aintcha in it' a: 'dunno, i guess not time yet'
mircea_popescu: eventually they'll have to try and make a stand.
asciilifeform has only the theory that in hitler's throne room, it was decided 'don't draw attention to republic existing', and this explains why mircea_popescu's collection of http://trilema.com/2014/interacting-with-fiat-institutions-a-guide/ is thin, rather than enuff to stoke furnace with
mircea_popescu: this arbitrary "separation" is actually the pillar upon which femstate pretense to sovereignity rests. "he who gets to say what's separate from what wins". hence why things like http://trilema.com/2013/the-sops-or-what-might-you-expect-from-government-clerks/ irritate them so much. "how does this non-us dare use our tools!!! arbitrary separation IS FOR CROWN ONLY!!!"
mircea_popescu: and so in this manner. i'd fully expect they'd try to bring a challenge, "oh, muh preshious licenses"
mircea_popescu: right ? it's ~separate~. fat woman THEREBY gave up her "right" to ride subway ?!?! IT IS SEPARATE!!! she overate in the past, she wants to ride now, there's no relation!!!
mircea_popescu: "Bolton asked about tweets calling Maduro a dictator who violates human rights: CNN: Do you not see US support for other dictators around the world undermines the credibility of your argument. Bolton: No, I don’t think it does. I think it’s separate."
asciilifeform: ( result : struck from record, d00d sentenced to life incommunicado )
mircea_popescu: but as things actually work, crown prosecutor can sit unblushing and talk shit about random black dude.
asciilifeform: iirc kazynski actually said this when he was tried
mircea_popescu: if i ran it, they'd be immediatelly struck out, "you've lied before, criminal conspiracy, may not present evidence". if i was cross-examining, i'd bury them under their own history, "your honor, my client has no history of lying in court -- that schmuck over there represents an organisation specifically predicated on exactly that".
mircea_popescu: which is how usg "prosecutor" doesn't have to explain why his office has lied ten thousand times in ten thousand courts.
asciilifeform: that mcd-eater mircea_popescu linked the diary of, earlier last mo, had the details
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how this idiocy works. there isn't a "they themselves". femstate is built on this dreamy approach to secreted alt-reality where only convenient subsets are dealt with at any time.
asciilifeform: would be moar interesting what-if, imho, if the derps had not themselves killed gplism , in the 'linksys' idjicy and elsewhere
mircea_popescu is kinda missing the historical piratebay femstate mockeries, looking forward to adding to his collection.
mircea_popescu: it seems strategically sound, "oh, i betcha they couldn't fuck gcc/glibc without gnat -- well, what if it can be denied!!!"
asciilifeform: ( 'systemv' was the ancient at&t unix iirc )
mircea_popescu: this entire thing we're doing here is more of a hit on the femstate in computing than the original drepperisms systemv was a hit on the republic. we're turning the tables, i'd expect some reaction.
mircea_popescu: the issue isn't "use of gnat", the issue is, defanging of gcc/glibc/shitgnome ecosystem.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: arguably 'disappeared' already, i was unable to find any trace of any serious public use of gnat, outside of our walls
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, but if they continue much longer they'll disappear entiurely.
asciilifeform wonders if ave1 got stuck tryin' to scrub out the autoconfolade
mircea_popescu: ave1 you willing to post a proper genesis of this thing ? if so, whensabouts would it be ready ? (do you have specific cleanup steps in mind ?) if not, why not ?
asciilifeform: on their end
asciilifeform: afaik that knob is still set to 'wear blindfold, plug ears, pretend aint happening'
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i wonder what battle will the usg.gnu tards pick to fight us over. confiscation of gnat ? not yet ?
asciilifeform: rather than vice-versa
asciilifeform wonders how much of the 100 is autoconf garbage
diana_coman: ftr the whole tarballs thing is ~100MB and the heaviest in there is the gcc
diana_coman: quite; I suspect it would cleanup the set of scripts too as atm it's a bit hairy to follow everything (or at least so it seemed to me coming at it relatively from the outside)
mircea_popescu: then no need for the fetchextract bs.
mircea_popescu: basically, gnat getting to where it's ready for genesis.
BingoBoingo: I was wondering what this surgery was, but was suspecting followup to the December abdominal cleanup
mircea_popescu: in other news, hanbot 's new tits are something the fuck else.
asciilifeform: ( idea being, of course, tard will pay ~2m~, with interest, etc )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: here they put coupla sq. m. of grass. cuz why bother with the wasted space when tard will pay 1m anyway.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, this is the third design where they make the giant stickbuilt things and put some grass between them on recently ruined farmland. Because they have the space for it.
asciilifeform: all ~exactly same; 'premium' (closer to 1m) model has decorative brick on 1 side.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there are now 2 standard matchstick designs -- 'condo' ( as in mircea_popescu's link ) and 'townhouse' ( same matchstick, same layout, slightly moar space )
asciilifeform regularly goes by what used to be a commercial parking lot, and finds that it was filled up with these.
BingoBoingo: When I left they were still doing the cookie cutter cul-de-sac subdivisions full of stick built
asciilifeform: before that -- another.
asciilifeform: not far from here, they knocked down a hotel and buncha other stuff, to build these.
asciilifeform: afaik ~100% of new residential construction, is this, nao.
BingoBoingo: Not too many of them, but apparently it was a fad at some point "how many walls can we stick without making bigger apartments"
mircea_popescu: NEVERTHELESS, the most remarkable part to my eye was "holy shit those huts they live in"
mircea_popescu watched "old school" yest with the gals because i don't recall why. holy shit that's a transparent piece of femstate agitprop (not coincidentally, with the same crew as http://trilema.com/very-bad-things ) -- who could possibly pass on the "career woman" with a kid in tow and all that nonsense.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, there's some 2 bedroom apartments here with the same square metrage as the habitation module which is close to the same footprint as the asciilifeform/ben_vulpes hotel room.
asciilifeform: they've been building'em errywhere. 100% cardboard, and then mortgaged for half-m to 1m to some idjit, good margin.
a111: Logged on 2015-09-26 01:29 asciilifeform: you can drive around and see this, towers of 'condos' with one or two windows out of every dozen, lit up
a111: Logged on 2019-03-04 13:53 mircea_popescu: what the fuck, Life Tested Home Designs® ?! srsly ? what the everfuck
mircea_popescu: if you added walls to that contortion, only a jackrabbit could fit in there.
BingoBoingo: And not even all of them on that list are that...
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> what the fuck, Life Tested Home Designs� ?! srsly ? what the everfuck << Walls and rooms make UStards feel cramped and bad about spending all day in bed and couch
mircea_popescu: this has got to be the sorriest thing i saw, since that obama sadness.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, Life Tested Home Designs® ?! srsly ? what the everfuck ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "Just outside of Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia features upscale shopping and dining, along with an easy escape to the outdoors. Our high-quality new homes for sale offer Smart Home features and Life Tested Home Designs® in townhome and condo communities."
mircea_popescu: i wonder if you can directly splash water from the faucet on the "modern, dynamic, blabla" "seated" at the workbench over there
mircea_popescu: what THE FUCK is that thing ? it looks like a bad photochop. did they seriously paste a 20sqft "livingroom" to a... what the fuck is it, half a kitchen table welded to half a livingroom table ?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-05 20:11 asciilifeform: relatedly, i recently hung up a 'premium, high end' corkboard, several square metres, and it turns out that 1) maybe half the depth is actual cork, the rest -- cardboard 2) no other kind is available
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/qntra-sqntr-february-2019-statement/ << Trilema -- Qntra (S.QNTR) February 2019 Statement
asciilifeform: ^ last 1 in this vein for a spell ; asciilifeform is returning to previous unfinished bizniss
feedbot: http://ossasepia.com/2019/03/03/inconsiderate-considerations-or-a-tiny-euloran-dataset-on-blueprints/ << Ossasepia -- Inconsiderate Considerations or a Tiny Euloran Dataset on Blueprints
BingoBoingo: Well, ecuador is allegedly running out of the people who can make hats for mircea_popescu. This is a problem in every field.
asciilifeform: ( supposedly even scimitar for beheading, is suffering shortages, the last troo smiths died )
asciilifeform: i still have difficulty swallowing that they can make anyffin moar complicated than camel saddle.
mircea_popescu: i'll believe. more sense than qatar, for sure.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you won't believe what else UAE-made : (if the crate is to be believed) -- that xray film.
asciilifeform: ( Officially , in the hookas, only tobacco + various flavour crud. but possibly on west coast, also ganja )
asciilifeform: folx on cushions, brains liquifying, quite kiplingesque picture aside from the lappies/pnojes
asciilifeform: you walk in, and smoke thick enuff to walk on
asciilifeform: it is lulzy, in this here shithole they banned 'smoke in restaurant'. but folx still want hooka. so effect was, the hooka dens no longer serve food, nao only smoke
BingoBoingo: Another thing the US is short of
BingoBoingo: Eastern tobacco involves ritual and some trivial amount of work. Most US hookah purchases I've seen end up on a shelf as another piece of kitsch after just a few uses.
mircea_popescu: Tsin-ling wouldn’t put bran into the Black Smoke."
mircea_popescu: very far cry from the "only I wish
asciilifeform: rather than 1shot brain blow
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: my (admittedly nonexpert) understanding is that hooka is used for what in asciilifeform's alcoholic orcistan is referred to as 'kvasing', i.e. slow intake over whole day/night
mircea_popescu found a one inch cut of vanilla bean in his UAE-made "best shisha tobacco in the world". it tasted as fresh and great as one from here, even joked with the girls, "full circle for this guy"
BingoBoingo: Well, this is the US
mircea_popescu: well, some people like the eastern tobacco.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it's the evening's entertainment for these folx. plug in the hoses, fire up the coals, turn on tv for background << The hookah/hose thing is a poor delivery device for pot. mircea_popescu's centerpiece that shoots deep into the lungs is the tool for pot. The hookah's more of a high margin impulse purchase trap that doesn't draw the shops aggro like most consumer US stuff is.
asciilifeform: the opium was banned specifically cuz kills the 'dreamer' too quickly. they wanted live konsoomer / mortgage monkey gotta live at least his 30y of mortgage etc
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> problem with pot is that it doesn't kill them nearly fast enough. << True
