cazalla: mircea_popescu, about
to step away in a few mins, what's up
decimation: as if any of
these fuckheads would voluntarily step foot in a non-maritime state
mircea_popescu: interestingly enough, yelp's failure
to matter in indiana is ascribed as a fault of indiana.
decimation: "Gen Con, a convention for game enthusiasts
that draws nearly 60,000 people a year
to Indianapolis,
threatened
to relocate its event out of state."
mircea_popescu: "This
type of combativeness and unseemly behavior is nothing new from Bedford. I suggest a request for user conduct be filed. I am also declining
to post
this from my account: I am a person of color who edits under my real name, lives close
to Bedford and fears harassment or violence. I do not enjoy playing
this card, but I grew up in
the South and have good reason
to fear Confederates and
their ilk. 202.155.167.221 (t
decimation: ideally Indiana will hold
the line and become silicon valley free
decimation: "Jeremy Stoppelman,
the founder of Yelp, which publishes online reviews of businesses, issued a warning
to states like Indiana
that “it is unconscionable
to imagine
that Yelp would create, maintain, or expand a significant business presence in any state
that encouraged discrimination.”"
decimation: "Marc Benioff,
the chief executive of Salesforce.com, a
technology company with a major presence in Indiana, announced
that he would cancel all company events in
the state."
Chillum: what
this place has more gossip
than my mom's bridge games
mircea_popescu: somehow factual unpleasantness does not belong in
the soi dissant encyclopedia.
decimation: "say what
the fuck we want you
to say when we want you
to say it"
decimation: note
the meanings of
the words "reasonable" and "impartial"
mircea_popescu: *I have desysopped him.
This is not even a close call. He's so far over
the line of
the conduct - both onsite and offsite -
that I expect from admins
that nothing short of a full and complete apology for his behavior and a retraction of his comments will do. Additionally, he will have
to stand for re-election if he dares. As for me, I would never vote for someone with
this kind of behavior in his history."
mircea_popescu: "Bedford, if you really wrote
that, I ask you
to resign your adminship. I have no opinion right now if such a request is legitimate based on policy, or precedent. I only know you've lost my faith in your ability
to act in a reasonable and impartial manner. And if you didn't write it, you need
to find out who is impersonating you on myspace, because
they're making you look really, really, really bad."
mircea_popescu: and as a result, mega huge shitfest, because how can he say
things like feminazi and pms
mircea_popescu: however! an admin (bedford) launched in a very... naggumesque, so
to say rant, on some blog or something. myspace profile ?
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what
this is, except iirc godaddy had a candice michelle doing some random sluttery in
their bangbros inspired style.
mircea_popescu: one of
the items in
there was at some point
that after [[Melina Perez|Melina]] ''(pictured)'' stripped [[Torrie Wilson]] in a bra & panties match at '''[[The Great American Bash (2005)]]''', referee [[Candice Michelle]] stripped Melina and herself as well?
mircea_popescu: very vaguely lulzi wikipedia drama : apparently
they have some sort of "did you know
that..." advertising shtick.
trinque: it has a use-flags-esque
thing
nubbins`: just
think of it as apt-get with weird
terminology
trinque: probably makes more sense after you map
the whimsy
to useful symbols
nubbins`: i nuked mine 3-4
times before i even started
to understand wtf i was doing
trinque: nubbins`: dunno, I could have laid into 'er
too hard, but I've had
to nuke my brew install >
two hands amount of
times
decimation: yeah I
tried brew once, after about 15 minutes I ditched
that shit
trinque: written with
the rubyfuck whimsy
that prioritizes cute names over clarity
trinque: brew = you're gonna have a bad
time
decimation: although I would say
that
the folks at macports do a pretty good job of porting sane unix
to osx
decimation: it's
true, because you are on bsd but you never know what is behind
the bulkhead
nubbins`: or
the
thousand other BSD userland utils.
mircea_popescu: decimation dude why
the hate,
they were just
taking from
those hacker kids and giving back
to
the business community!
nubbins`: well, y'know.
they also don't advertise
that it comes with
tftp
decimation: none of which was prominently displayed on
their marketing or specs
mircea_popescu: "before
turning off
the obsd firewall, apple used
to
turn off
the fbsd firewall"
nubbins`: decimation +1.
they used fbsd firewall before
that
nubbins`: trinque haha wd, another one in
the club
trinque: asciilifeform:
turdel_with_telnet.gz works over here
mircea_popescu: you know
there's going
to be children named
turdel because of you people.
nubbins`: (what else'd you expect a BSD mutant
to use?)
decimation: pfsense, yes, another apple
thing shamelessly ripped by apple
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> he's from apple. wut firewall ? <<< o.O
the same firewall
that obsd uses, smarty
jurov: 300
then. better yet.
mircea_popescu: Chillum i have a coupla
tb of movies girls prepped for me
that i keep meaning
to sometime see
mircea_popescu: jurov so make
them out of dried panda
tears so
they don't
twist.
jurov: when square cables
twist(inevitably), it is very visible and it looks bad
mircea_popescu: strikes me as exactly
the sort of apple-esque innovationitivity.
mircea_popescu: i am fucking shocked
they've not yet made square section cables
mircea_popescu: i never said
this before, because i didn't want
to jinx it, but
mircea_popescu: because
their primary market was w/e, rabbits or something.
trinque: mircea_popescu:
they've got a nice pretend one with a fence icon, I'm sure
decimation: nobodies can camp all day on an article and 'win' if
they revert/revise quickly enough
mircea_popescu: but
the fact
that it has
to be stopped in
the first place says something.
Chillum: we can't stop nuts from showing up all day with crazy
theories either
mircea_popescu: impossible
to stop. anything anyone wants
to
talk about is
themselves.
Chillum: pretty hard
to stop
though
Chillum: we discourage people from writing about
themselves
mircea_popescu: Chillum mind
that what i said was, "in
the article whisper made on wikipedia
to advertise itself, which is what wikipedia is principally used for,
they depict
themselves as so and so, because
that's what
they perceive is aspiration-able"
Chillum: you would need
to participate in
the debate on
the
talk page
Chillum: well
that is a controversial article
decimation: Chillum: I once
tried
to edit a climate-change related article on wikipedia, my changes were immediate reverted by william connolley
Chillum: oh, well
that article is a pile of crap.
mircea_popescu: the certain (worthless) app was being discussed earlier re
the guardian piece
mircea_popescu: mno, google doesn't either follow links or care about
the results since years ago.
mircea_popescu: while it doesn't amount
to conspiracy, it factually functions as one. flows driectly from confirnation bias.
mircea_popescu: but :
the
thinking here is
that google putting wikipedia at
top of search results is neither algorithmic nor coincidental.
mircea_popescu: well,
take
this with a grain of salt, so it may add digestion
Chillum: as a wikipedia admin I agree
there is a lot of spam,
though
that is not
the reason for its existence
mircea_popescu: Chillum point me
to
the spammer and I will block
them! <<
the whole
thing exists principally as an advertising venue for a certain set of nonsense.
decimation: good
thing, given
the size of
the blockchain
nubbins`: if you manage
to
telnet into
the
turdel, pastebin some shit
to prove it :D
nubbins`: at which point it immediately boots into
the
turdel, give it a bit,
then
telnet into it
nubbins`: then Pogov4>
tftp 0x800000
turdel_with_telnet
nubbins`: you'll see
the 10-second countdown, hit enter
nubbins`: then just power cycle
the pogo and watch
the show
nubbins`: right. so once you get
that done, you start up netcat on your desktop
