mircea_popescu: the retard medium is the retard message. what the fuck else.
asciilifeform: phjaques Also these new chicken mcnugget commercials are utterly revolting.") Penn Jilette also posted about taking his kids out for hamburgers and a movie. Warren Ellis posting anything, really.'
asciilifeform: 'Twitter continues to be strange. Where else can you read one line posts from famous people and realize how very little they normally have to say? Just read three consecutive posts from uberlawyer Lawrence Lessig about his air travel arrangements ("@lessig second hour delay SFO2BOS just announced"), Howard Tayler of Schlock Mercenary ("@howardtayler just finished a two-hour nap. Ahhh."), and Jeph Jacques of Questionable Content ("@je
mircea_popescu: dood spent a lot of time disogranisedly fighting the [to him, invisibly] organised morons.
asciilifeform: ( perlism, that is , not patch )
asciilifeform: 'The 2.6.28 merge window is open, and I'm coming up with a third perl removal patch. ' << watever happened to this ?
asciilifeform: http://archive.is/Jt2js#selection-215.0-219.29 << lulgem from same : 'Perl is back in the 2.6.28 kernel, once again due to H. Peter Anvin. Sigh.'
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in the "i handrolled my own mp-wp, by hand" lulzchronicles, 2008 edition, http://archive.is/Jt2js#selection-39.0-39.293
mircea_popescu: the wrong approach. The right fix is sometimes a completely different patch, and sometimes there are several ways to do it which will work, but you have to pick _one_ way or they'll interfere with each other." and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: "Most authors mean well, but most changes have problems. Often they are conceptual problems, the problem they're trying to fix is real but they take
mircea_popescu: anyway, equally lulzy is rob langley trying to explain to bellard and assorted nicks why and wherefore wikipedia is a bad thing.
mircea_popescu: most of these aren't. the discussion of massaging long long etc in the tcc for x64 included in that mailing list is most lulzy on topic.
asciilifeform: but afaik ~to this day~ not properly x64ated etc
asciilifeform: ^ the other attempt at 'alt gcc'
mircea_popescu: "Tinycc was once closer to offering a serious open source alternative to gcc than anything else, and it's still simpler (and smaller, and faster), but part of the definition of its development community was a willingness to deal with development tools from the days of DOS." << what was his problem specifically to this day we do not know (beyond cvs not being able to handle namechanges, much like ~every other wanna-be v until
mircea_popescu: which is, truth be told, what america was all about since day 1, over at valleyforge.
mircea_popescu: the point being, dumbphone creates an imaginary overlay over reality for dumbass to interact with instead of reality.
asciilifeform: ( for the innocent -- 'smart'pnoje-powered idjicy, zombie walks around in open air peering through pnoje, and hunts devils that programmatically appear in traffic, in coffin during funeral, on railroad tracks, anywhere )
mircea_popescu: whore's crack metamorphosized into pavement crack, one big government-maintained single-body whore, and the city boi... welll.
mircea_popescu: was some thing, famous for being imortalized in http://trilema.com/2017/the-world-has-changed/#selection-25.38-25.88
asciilifeform: afaik didn't go away, still exists, there's a pokemonist den somewhere not far from here
mircea_popescu: literally their entire collected works consist of a bunch of them, face to face, tablet/smartphone clutched with white knuckles, finding pokemons.
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder that "game" went away, it was the game of fucking life for these "free and open source" minds.
mircea_popescu: and they never, ever, no matter the fuck what EVER engage in any meaningful exchange. two fucking ignominous tards finding pokemons in front of each other on a subway platform. that's all it is.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker, that wasn't what was being discussed, now was it. "if you don't aim to be employed by microsoft stop complaining abouyt windows crashes :)" fucktardry next, whainot.
mircea_popescu: and the fucking :) usage, too. "> If you don't want to have CVS write access on Savannah, please stop complaining about your repository not being in sync :-)"
asciilifeform: right here, there's that airfield, and the enthusiasts (all, near as i can tell, in their 60s/70s) erry weekend dig in the engine, oil rag & all
asciilifeform at one pt considered to buy such machine, and did some homework re the engines, it's moar or less perma-fossilized 1940s tech. cuz, elementarily, it worx.
mircea_popescu: the demons people have to conquer vary by gender, news at 69.
mircea_popescu: it makes a fucking difference, even before we stop to consider that the native female ~also has different primitives~ one can leverage to obtain satisfactory results without going the exact same path.
asciilifeform: they're carburetted, too.
mircea_popescu: and for reasons, which have to do with the ~ovopositor~ discussion. see ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to this very day trinque-style plane runs on 100 octane cum pb. there's a filling station for these not far from where asciilifeform stands .
mircea_popescu: as a factual matter, there wouldn't have been ww2 us bombers under any other paradigm.
asciilifeform: would be somehow less riotously stupid if equipped with tit ?
mircea_popescu: in any case, let the record reflect i find the pompous feminity they titlessly assume personally offensive.
mircea_popescu: and i view esp the drepper thing very much in these terms, "we are dumb cunts deliberately and by design, and we will not excommunicate another dumb cunt irrespective of any considerations, because believe-women".
mircea_popescu: in short, it's a bunch of stupid cunts tryna pretend like the kitchen's the world.
mircea_popescu: except that pretense is obviously enough a bald face lie, if they were ignorant they couldn't be this systematic.
asciilifeform: ( not that it would've made much diff -- e.g. drepper is certified author of no fewer than 3 open-and-shut sabotages, and still somehow 'contributing' as if nuffinhappened )
mircea_popescu: they are ~studiously~ and systematically disrespectful of male hierarchy and patriarchy in general, then they evne more insultingly ~pretend to not even be aware~.
mircea_popescu: anyway, a lot could be said re the standard interactions between these unmitigated assholes. take http://trilema.com/2013/how-to-fail-the-scott-locklin-method/ and compare/contrast to http://archive.is/QA0cl#selection-511.1-521.5 or http://archive.is/FyVWH#selection-277.1-287.38 or ten trillion other examples.
asciilifeform: re : 'difficult for changes to be inserted unnoticed' -- did they ever even pin a name on the debian rng lulz ?
asciilifeform: ( ftr linus is pretty lulzy example of 'uses gpg' -- erry single time signed MB-weighing ball of ??? that in no conceivable way he could have read or fit in head )
mircea_popescu: whereas everyone else, traditionally, will just fucking permit themselves to be dragged down to the lowest common denominator rather than behead a misbehaving old hand.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-24 19:56 mircea_popescu: !!rate nanotube -1 took the blue pill at some point prior to the republic, chasing the tenure dream somewhere lost in the imperial wastes.
mircea_popescu: "He said that they have also contacted the GNU Arch maintainer about adding GPG signing. Though it may take some time to develop, the addition of GPG signing to commits would be a welcome feature. " << see, because we http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-24#1775402 over his failure to bring gribble up to spec. ☝︎
asciilifeform: if these folx weren't broken in the head, could've had 'v' in 1995.
mircea_popescu: "To that end, the compromise may actually be a good thing in the long run. Kuhn said that they have contacted the CVS maintainers and have offered to pay for development of features that would allow GPG signing of commits through CVS -- making it much more difficult for changes to be inserted unnoticed into code held in a CVS repository." << guess how far this made it, 15 years later.
asciilifeform: may take some time to develop, the addition of GPG signing to commits would be a welcome feature.' << afaik to this very day no such thing in opensoresdom (outside of linus's releases)
asciilifeform: 'To that end, the compromise may actually be a good thing in the long run.

mircea_popescu: (linux weekly news being the qntra of 20 years ago, except much the fuck shittier, in no small part because fucking retarded editorial team)
mircea_popescu: instead of that, though, https://lwn.net/Articles/64835/
asciilifeform: quite 'effectual', turns out, simply not to any effect you'd want.
mircea_popescu: bout as effectual as the sand dollars i fished at beach last.
asciilifeform: d00d was entirely happy to exercise authority . simply not to any sane end, but as strictly reflex to butthurts, 1:1.
mircea_popescu: cuz obviously, they still jack off under covers. they just do it amateurish-poorly.
asciilifeform: and it aint even that rms explicitly rejected fuhrerprinzip -- witness his (successful) keeping-gcc-stupid by decree
mircea_popescu: what ~the fuck~ prevented them from saying "loic has the autority to make an alt-logger, fuck your mother." ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's just... they EVEN HAVE THE HOLE WHERE THE GEMS WOULD GO. everything, everything, except not making it work.
mircea_popescu: but they don't say "by his lordship's authority, gna". they say "phylosophycally!!!!" which is a keyword with these functionally iliterate morons, and it's a keyword for specifically "this is where real republic instrument would go, if it existed as it does but we heretically deny"
asciilifeform: lolwat, i thought were 'gnaa', i.e. 'gay nigger assoc. of amer.'
mircea_popescu: i mean, understand this fucking nonsense : on the very savannah gnu org/maintenance/WhyChooseSavannah/ page they list "Gna!: http://gna.org/ - philosophically compatible with Savannah, run independently by other people; located in France" ; this is there BECAUSE his lordship loic the schmuck is doing it.
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu has this piece , where rms as lev trotsky, 'troo left believer' surrounded by the usual swarm of cynical grifters who inevitably come to put proboscis into 'troo believer' as surely as flies to shit ☟︎
mircea_popescu: if the "there really wasn't anything there to begin with" was at all controversial, such banal yet obvious yet disavowed matters would sink it anyway.
asciilifeform: afaik rms is best-known example of this, his www is fulla 'free palestine' etc
mircea_popescu: o, you guessed it!!! "securedrop, for to journalists wanting to wikileaks"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the lulziest thing is how all these born-in-65-foss-blabla tards end up ALWAYS on the fucking forefront and speartip of usg.blue isms.
asciilifeform: i thought 'man alone'(tm) were crackpot who hosts on hand-turned html on box in cellar, crafting perpetuum mobiles an' squaring circles
mircea_popescu: menalone, a very expensive bioengineering project aiming to emulate two ounce mice in 200lb hominid hardware.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-28 18:01 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in copyrasty lulz: https://archive.is/wpwpo << ms-shithub posts dmca wank publicly nao ; this one's against a linuxkernelism. ( https://github.com/github/dmca << moar of these than anyone could ever stomach , some quite lulzy )
asciilifeform: the mice dun learn either, witness the mass-migration to shithub ( ~exactly same thing, but with moar printolade to prop it up )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform of course. and yet IT STILL DID BETTER than fucking "savannah", the cvs pharmacy in 31401 georgia.
mircea_popescu: somehow the lesson that "anomie-freedom's worse than ANY KIND of slavery" still unlearned, 20 years later. "why did savannah fail ?" "dunno" "but you said somethings about it, dorky. where's the review of them ?" "not me!"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in this light, the current (yes, still exists...) zombie of soresforge, where mostly hosted winblows .exe , and scriptically-infested with $trojan-of-the-day on ea. download, aint much of surprise
mircea_popescu: "Some months ago I helped to launch Savannah for the GNU project because I felt the need of a collaboratively run platform. With friends and co-developpers we are now re-writing and packaging distributed development hosting software. The idea is to be able to install and operate a SourceForge-like site within hours. Savannah will run this software at the end of this year. At first it may have less functionality than SourceFor
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-23#1898735 << done, tyvm ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and so fucking following until we fall the fuck over, how can this dork live with himself.
mircea_popescu: ed it with real people, but instead permitted a buncha weasels to run with it, not even under the supervision and signature of an established lord, because my mother dropped me repeatedly on hard floors during breastfeeding]."
mircea_popescu: ker data /export/sf_tracker_export.php. Few people are aware of the later because it is undocumented. The export page explains how to use scripts that don't exist anymore; implementation of facilities to ease project extraction was stopped. The developer community is exclusively made of VA Linux employees and a few people who are asked not to disclose the current code [and I didn't declare this a strategic objective, nor fill
mircea_popescu: "The move to non-free software was the culmination of a series of steps designed to lock users in. There never was a way to fully extract projects from SourceForge [and I never said anything about this because I, rms, am a moron unfit to lead a L-shaped ambush, let alone an entire world], but efforts were made in this direction--then this year they were removed. At present the only things you can get are the CVS tree and trac
mircea_popescu: RM and in May 2009, Augustin was appointed as the chief executive officer."
mircea_popescu: ber 9, 1999, during the dot-com bubble, VA Linux became a public company via an initial public offering and Augustin, then 38-years old, became a billionaire on paper. In August 2002, Augustin left VA Linux and from September 2002 to December 2004, he was a partner at Azure Capital Partners, where he helped lead Azure’s investments in Zend Technologies and Medsphere. In 2005, Augustin joined the board of directors of SugarC
mircea_popescu: anyway, for thread completeness : "In 1993, Augustin founded VA Research (later VA Linux and Geeknet), while a Ph.D. student at Stanford. Augustin was a Stanford colleague of Jerry Yang and David Filo, the founders of Yahoo!. Filo and Yang introduced Augustin to Sequoia Capital, which provided Augustin with venture capital. In November 1999, he launched SourceForge, a collaborative development environment or "forge". On Decem
BingoBoingo: If the town custom was fucking dogs... convenient, features, might as well!
mircea_popescu: "might as well this as that, it's all the same anyway."
mircea_popescu: fucking beautiful. "it turns out we weren't about anything in particular, so when convenience rears its ugly head..."
mircea_popescu: "Because of the convenience of SourceForge, many Free Software developers have come to take this collection of features for granted, and would be reluctant to go back to the old way of doing things. Unfortunately, this means that when SourceForge itself takes a turn for the worse, it tends to pull Free Software developers down with it. "
mircea_popescu: meets future wife on bus, doesn't go over (BECAUSE HAS OPTION NOT TO, SEE ???), never meets her again.
mircea_popescu: all these zero-cost options dorks keep writing to themselves.
asciilifeform: what else to expect when commander is 'human mushroom'
mircea_popescu: so, where's all the rms "hey folks, make blogs, rms-wp is over there", is what i wish to know.
mircea_popescu: the foregoing has the disadvantage a very good man is still smarting from it ; the latter however IS FUCKEN POISON.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-29 23:35 mircea_popescu: but as far as the foundation is concerned -- if all it does (ALL IT DOES!!!) is stand up to tell me "oh, we can't follow the keccak because reasons" ima put an end to it in short order.
asciilifeform: these particular mice i dun think ever ate one single crumb of cheese that wasn't from a mousetrap.
asciilifeform: i dun think rms & co were ever 'this tall'. relied just about from day 1 on 'reasonable' cooperation with enemy, to have any money at all.
mircea_popescu: get the fuck out of here. in adult world there's such a thing as "this tall to ride".
asciilifeform: iirc at the time hosting cost actual moneys. and the gnutards were short.
mircea_popescu: you know, the items discussed, "efore SourceForge, such tools (bug tracking, cvs, web, support, forums, polls, news, etc.) were available individually, but few developers used many of them together"
mircea_popescu: i meant the editor and management toolchain.
