brendafdez: I can't keep in memory every single article all
the
time
mircea_popescu: well maybe you miss
the barn of a difference between "guy who is a girl because he prefers it" and "guy who claims
to be a girl so as
to [...]"
brendafdez: dunno, wouldn't go back either,
this state of 'it not working' is much preferred
to
the previous state of 'it not working'. By orders of magnitude.
brendafdez: you know,
the whole betu
thing sucks, and somteimes
the coping strategy could well be 'fuck it, i didn't even want it in
the first place, I'd rather be a woman where bug becomes feature'. Dunno, just speculating, I hadn't given it much
thought before.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform all perversion is boring
to
the normally endowed.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if i could get
tenure with a program on illiteracy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
truely usia is engaged in
the empirical demonstration of
the ancient notion
that perversity knows no bounds.
mircea_popescu: i like 69 as much as
the next girl, but it never occured
to me
to pretend i'm a
tupolev airplanewhile doing it.
mircea_popescu: i mean
the entire "why do girls date assholes i have a great sense of humor she doesn't know what she's missing" beta lament is one
thing
brendafdez: whatever works, not
that
that especially does
mircea_popescu: social justice warrior posing as
transgender lesbian female
to get cooch ?
brendafdez: mircea_popescu maybe
the affirmation policying isn't being done right. Half
the people in
the fb lesbian dating groups are guys,
too...
mircea_popescu: somehow in
the entire "must grow big fast"
thing people omit
to point out
that well... you don't wanna rule over retards.
mircea_popescu: serves
them right for ruling over a group dumb enough
to believe
that shit.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, n ceausescu was accused of
this. people believed.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Or
the golden
toilets at
the local USG garisons erode
mircea_popescu: i don't actually keep
that well indexed a list of
this score
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
think most recently it was "hey,
this christian dude isn't all bad"
mircea_popescu: brendafdez
turns out half
the people in
the google grup of "women interested in linux" are actulaly guys.
mircea_popescu: so fucking banal in its "cultural revolutionary war" rehash it's really hardly worth
the mention.
mircea_popescu: then
they morally responsible for
the cesspool
turn around and accuse
the pillars making sanity possible of... you know, "fish rots from
the head"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in idiot us discourse, because of all
the "care" being "expended"
to "protect", nobody can
talk
to anyone about anything, and as a result everyone hates everyone else for no reason.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's pretty well articulated. consider
the way
this place works : once anything can be said, people suddenly manage
to find "representatives" of groups
they
thought
they hated quite likable.
this happens on a regular basis.
mircea_popescu: lol. and
this is not his employer's agenda.
this is just, you know, because reasons.
mircea_popescu: "If you are a newcomer
to Linux, either grow a really
thick skin. Or run away, it's not a friendly place
to be in." << also do not be in linux.
[]bot: Bet placed: 2 BTC for Yes on "Silver at or over $22/oz before October"
http://bitbet.us/bet/1132/ Odds: 97(Y):3(N) by coin, 97(Y):3(N) by weight.
Total bet: 2.1 BTC. Current weight: 99,999.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the ideological cleavage is pretty clear, and it will only resolve itself in
time.
mircea_popescu: but i gotta appreciate
the delusion. really, lennart
thinks he's me ? cool.
mircea_popescu: ahaha. 1) systemd is not nor will it ever be successful. 2) systemd is a grease spot strictly because of
the red hat drilling platform upstream. once
that goes away,
the whole set of fleas and
their "successes" and "ideas" and choices and whatever also go away.
mircea_popescu: " have a
thick skin (and so do most of
the others involved in systemd, apparently), and I figure
that plays a major role why we managed
to bring systemd
to success, despite all
the pressure in
the opposite direction. "
mircea_popescu: this incidentally is pretty
true : i don't know
that anyone sane would want anything
to do with lennart and his horde of derps either.
mircea_popescu: o. Currently,
the systemd community is fantastic, and I really hope we can keep it
that way."
mircea_popescu: "My personal conclusion out of all
this is mostly just
that I don't want
to have much
to do with
the worst offenders, and
the communities
they run. My involvement with
the kernel community ended pretty much before it even started, I never post on LKML, and haven't done in years. Also, in our own project we are policying posts. We regularly put a few folks on moderation on
the mailing list, and we will continue
to do s
mircea_popescu: unremarkably, he's all about re-tweeting poettering on google
twitter.
brendafdez: mircea_popescu I was just curious
to see what it's like in a 'linux for girls' mailing list, but I
think
they won't let me in if I don'f affirm nicely enough
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 01:55:24; brendafdez: I subscribed
to a linux for girls community a couple of months ago. Can't
tell you what it's like
BingoBoingo: I know you've fallen from *approved*
to pending before.
mircea_popescu: GNOME Display Manager (gdm) before 2.21.1 allows local users
to change permissions of arbitrary directories via a symlink attack on /tmp/.X11-unix/. << lulzier one.
mircea_popescu: "GNOME Shell 3.14.x before 3.14.1, when
the Screen Lock feature is used, does not limit
the aggregate memory consumption of all active PrtSc requests, which allows physically proximate attackers
to execute arbitrary commands on an unattended workstation by making many PrtSc requests and leveraging a
temporary lock outage, and
the resulting
temporary shell availability, caused by
the Linux kernel OOM killer."

the comment from
the spamtrap

trinque: make a stick with ubnetbootin or whatever
brendafdez: But if
there's something I should know, I'd rather do
brendafdez: guys, I've seen gnome bashed security-wise a couple of
times here in chan (or in
the blogs, I'm not sure). What's so wrong with it? I'm really liking gnome-shell...
mircea_popescu: seems more like self-wankery. "here's what we'd do
to mila kunis if she knew who we were or cared"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo did qntra eat my comment or
they go
to moderation or what ?
mircea_popescu: it boggles my mind
that one has
to be "allowed"
to introduce a defense.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: yeah, but might be able
to glue something with
the molasses later.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't understand how
the world works. people who meet us armed forces socially and people who are willing
to write USG SATAN in 5yo guts, provided
the 5yo was spawned by a private first class have virtually no overlap.
brendafdez: i
thought you'd write "it's hard not
to interpret...", but it's ok
this way
too i's say
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
there's a good idea somewhere in
there but kinda mollase'd out.
mircea_popescu: isis is pioneering
the "before you can get voice, pick a name off
this list and
torture
their children on cam"
brendafdez: " It is hard
to interpret "
there seems
to be a 'not' missing
mircea_popescu: i suspect
they just want
to see if
the... buoys actually float.

trinque: lol, cmere
toddler, check out
the deep end
brendafdez: weird wording "members of
the Armed Forces
to limit information
the personal information
they leak on social media"
danielpbarron: guy responded, sounds like
there's nothing substantially wrong with
the
thing
danielpbarron: one of you girls who needs a linux
training laptop should really outbid me on
this pink
thing
danielpbarron: i don't mind putting *.ebay.com on my whitelist; I do mind putting all
the other crap
danielpbarron: right but
the extra special login WILL NOT WORK unless i disable cookie whitelisting
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron> lets me browse and
think i'm logged in, and
then hits me with a login page for any meaningful action like placing a bid or even asking a question
to
the seller << I find
this
typical.
To be fair I'd rather it ask me
to auth often and on actions. Ebay considered
their auctions
to be contracts.
