BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Of course, but what is one
to do when
they first encounter berries in
the wilderness?
BingoBoingo: Also one of
the greatest weapons of
the shitgnomes is burying people in bad choices
ag3nt_zer0: I will check out claws
too
thanks BingoBoingo
ag3nt_zer0: ok,
thanks for
the help guys, and please forgive
the derpage, but I suppose
this means do not use something like
the enigmail add-on?
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 04:02:58; funkenstein_:
to quote noone you are likely
to consider sane, you signed up when you chose
to be born
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0
the fewer
things involved,
the less available
to break. and yes, what he said.
BingoBoingo: ag3nt_zer0: Just encrypt and
then paste into a mail client
mircea_popescu: this, of course, is still uncharted
territory in
the mental map of
the fifth millenium.
mircea_popescu: whenever you see a cripple walking on a crutch, it's a good idea
to
think
the crutch as compensation for HIS shortcoming, not yours.
mircea_popescu: anyway, malcom x correctly identified "the state is
this
thing which fucks us over", but he
thought it's about money (ie, what he didn't have) rather
than about cocksize (ie, what
the people actually employing it didn't have).
ag3nt_zer0: ok
ty mircea_popescu I am pretty confused... I have been following contravex guide - so is
that preparing me
to run locally? Or is utilizing enigmail
through
thunderbird attached
to a gmail account no longer local? And is it just more secure
to use plaintext over html? So much
to learn...
HeySteve: sounds like
the justification for a communist state
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 03:51:29; funkenstein_: malcolm x says
the state becomes necessary when one needs
to separate
those who have from
those who have not
mircea_popescu: if you run gpg correctrly, whic his
to say locally, use plaintext email
ag3nt_zer0: question: does it matter what email provider I use for GPG setup? I
tried
to set it up with
Tutanota but cannot set it up with
thunderbird and enigmail which i suspected but wasn't sure until I
tried... I shudder
to maintain any connection
to google or yahoo, but does it matter with GPG?
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, "Google has made undeniably made an effort" remove
the first 'made' ?
mircea_popescu: iroquis worked fine without anyone "claiming
the land". fine enough for
the us
to
try and copy off
them everything
they didn't understand from french anyway
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 03:42:37; decimation: but someone has
to claim
the land, and people need a place
to sleep
mircea_popescu: this has exactly zero
to do with governance in
the general case.
mircea_popescu: it pretends, and apparently convincingly,
to be either or both, but it is neither. for
that matter, koreans believe "the party" is equal
to "the atmosphere". what of it.
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 03:32:36; decimation: sure, but in
the end
they all involve a peice of actual real estate with an actual physical structure
mircea_popescu: the proposition
that "religion === morality" or "state===society" or "monarchy===worldview" etc is so much smarmy pretense.
mircea_popescu: needn't have "an alternative
to monarchy" in
terms monarchy'd comprehend. ditto re state.
BingoBoingo: I have vaguely familair with
the name being said places, but
the context is unknown
to me.
BingoBoingo: Sounds like an actual problem. I'd consider
tossing him an invite, but he's a complete stranger. All I know him as is
the pirate
trying
to make a qntra... but special needs.
mircea_popescu: when an otherwise smart guy is
too stupid
to get out of
the rain.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo maybe.
there should be a new word, "low functioning intelligence".
the exact counterparty
to high functioning autism
BingoBoingo: Dude prolly figures since oldmedia pays him more attention
than it does mp,
that he can just mash
two mp ideas
together and herptiy derp and whistle while he
twerks
mircea_popescu: anyway, someone should
tell falkvinge
to gtfo in here and stop being retarded.
mircea_popescu: "we've seen
teh weird web
technologies deployed on 8chan last month and we figure it's actual magic"
BingoBoingo: "publishes all news as shareable images,
thereby bypassing a large number of restrictions and limitations, not needing clickbait, and being immune
to adblock – but also paying people well, using bitcoin" << And completely ignoring
the MP doesn't read
text as images
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo for as long as fiat financing lasts, everyone gets
to pretend
they're
the most serene republic.
mircea_popescu: how is "working undercover" what you do when you sit around in a gas station "trying
to catch people who self serve" ?
this isn't even lance corporal, whaty officer.
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 01:03:44; asciilifeform: 'Shortly
thereafter, officers who had been working undercover
to catch citizens attempting
to self-serve, swarmed in
to arrest
the mostly nude man – but not before Mapes
took down 3 of
the 6 officers by himself.'
ben_vulpes: mebbe in
that it'll drive you insane..

to
the fact
that long-term coding is very much a
tantric, mind-altering endeavor."
assbot: On how
the factored 4096 RSA keys story was handled, and what it means
to you. on

mircea_popescu: tire societal relations
to make room for
the horse on
the battlefield.
mircea_popescu: seriously, as far as
the "public opinion" is concenred, "there exists a weapon
that has never been used on account of it being
too effectual". something
that happened with nothing never,
the celts used iron weapons and
the europeans used machine guns and everything in between
that actually worked and was actually useful was actually used. and not a little used. USED. ubiquitously used,
the franks re-engineered
their en
mircea_popescu: i
take it
the unsolicited redrawing of mpex on
toilet paper by kindergartners did not end up selling for
the "very modest" five digit figure he had in... for lack of a better
term, mind ?
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 15:56:08; pete_dushenski: i had my credit card number lifted in chicago a few years back, sekoority centre called me
to ask about a few purchases, which i hadn't made,
they cancelled
the card on
the spot and refunded me
the charges.

☟︎ pete_dushenski: on
the consumer side,
there's little need for concern either as it's assumed (since it's been demonstrated in
the past)
that
the scamee will be made whole
assbot: Logged on 08-06-2015 04:27:15; asciilifeform: i, for instance, would much like
to publicly register as 'anyone who walks in with my name and slave serial number and
tries
to
take a mortgage, ever, is
to be shot immediately'
pete_dushenski: as if
there were a magical 'great wall'
that kept out
the mongols behind
their keyboards
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 15:09:25; pete_dushenski: " When a retired 51-year-old military man disclosed in a U.S. security clearance application
that he had a 20-year affair with his former college roommate's wife, it was supposed
to remain a secret between him and
the government."

they are going

the plot of 'spy',
this.
jurov: why a contradiction? i imagine most jobs at NSA
to be such
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 15:20:49; jurov: ppl will do anything for 'good' job. i'm fully expecting
to see alf grappling with
