asciilifeform: homo redditicus is lethally boring, yes.

asciilifeform: and if i had a bitcent for every 'use this lappy we carved from old refrigerator panels and raspberry pi..' etc

asciilifeform lols over the various crapola mail, 'purism!', 'cured intel really!', etc

asciilifeform: !!up loper_os_cr50

asciilifeform: i can already picture, 'why complain, cr50 100% opensores!'

asciilifeform: 'purism', 'minifree', organs of the beast.

asciilifeform: ( their phuctor filter is esp lulzy, gives not null but specifically ancient stale pages, boeck's 'rebuttal', reddit. etc )

asciilifeform: i suspect that the whole incident will be unhappened soon enuff, added to same googleban db as trilema , phuctor, etc

asciilifeform: the 'of course you can't have SEKOORITY without goldenkeys!', 'prove! nsa involved!', etc derps, all awoken from under their rocks, working.

asciilifeform: the hilarious bit is that the published src has 100% of the lulz out in plain daylight. incl, e.g., the bootrom-writeprotect override function in cr50, the magic pubkeys, the bit that turns wireless on during idle, etc

asciilifeform: elsewhere in heathendom, https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/8pyaec/the_google_h1_fritz_chip/ << usg brigade out in force, 'this is just a tpm, cannot reflash fw' etc 'say it 3 times, it'll be true'isms

asciilifeform: in other lulles, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17274771 << 'flagged'

asciilifeform: ( naturally including the one for c101pa box )

asciilifeform: re gtkism -- asciilifeform can'twait to see how the derps react to the revelation that asciilifeform's gentoos hardban gtk3/dbus/pulseaudio/whole shebang

asciilifeform: oh hm

asciilifeform: in bananistan?!

asciilifeform: after soaking in reddit, feel like pulling own skin off
