mircea_popescu: "The existing NetBSD Foundation must be disbanded, and replaced with an organization
that fulfills its original purpose:
to merely handle administrative issues"
BingoBoingo: brendafdez: Assbot has its own way
to authenticate use !register
mircea_popescu: "As one of
the 4 originators of NetBSD, I am in a fairly unique position."
assbot: The advance warning for
this OpenSSL bug can only mean one
thing.
There's going
to be a dope logo for
this bug on
Thursday.
danielpbarron: basically saying
they need
to be more like
the guy
they kicked out
decimation: asciilifeform: re: what
to do about hardware < sell diy "mr. fuser" kit at costco?
danielpbarron: "She was pretty drunk so
this speech was littered with lovely curse words and slurring." << did
this interview
take place in b-a or something?
mircea_popescu: anyone who has
this problem is an idiot of
the same breath as
the guy with a bitchy wife.
mircea_popescu: they have
to be forced
to come
to
terms and accept
the plain fact
that if
they don't publish,
they ARE lying.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, but still, as a point of procedure, muppet should be
trained
to back himself up. "here's what i say it was
then, and here's where i published it
then"
decimation: asciilifeform: are you saying
that commercial code isn't riddled with 'gpled snippets'?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the only reason gpl stays gpl atm is because it's not worth much. otherwise... it didn't happen in
the cccp only. it happened in
the us, and everywhere else.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> danielpbarron it doesn't seem
to be in
there
tho. besides, i'd hope he's not relying on
theo's
testimony ? does he have his own bundle ? << In
Theo's Bundle
Theo blames Charles Hannum explicitly near
the end. Demetrio in my reading of
the dump seems
to be an aggrevating factor.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> it's ironic
that
the guy doesn't want
to have
the 'virus clause' interfere with BSD distribution yet was apparently willing
to let some random company
take over
the project << actually... it's all in
the bias. irrespective of what
the words may say,
these were govenrment men. of course
they saw no problem giving
their
thing
to governmenty-something.
their only actual problem would have been "terrorists", a
decimation: also, stallman hasn't done much about
the 'hardware problem'
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'Even
today, blablabladerp.' << wat? << i'll
tell you what. "mommy, i got a 7 in algebra, but you should have seen all
the other kids at retard school,
they got 3 and 4!"
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron it doesn't seem
to be in
there
tho. besides, i'd hope he's not relying on
theo's
testimony ? does he have his own bundle ?
decimation: in
the sense
that
the major 'open source' projects are switching
to non-gpl licenses - or are
trying
to be devoured by
the same
decimation: I agree with
that, but it also seems
that
the rms 'project' is largely failing
decimation: it's ironic
that
the guy doesn't want
to have
the 'virus clause' interfere with BSD distribution yet was apparently willing
to let some random company
take over
the project
decimation: no, more of "I let
these people 'work' on my project and suddenly
they were controlling it"
decimation: Foundation and Wasabi press release.
They were actually upset at me for preempting
this." << lol
this guy is no linus
decimation: "In addition, Wasabi actually held up a NetBSD release for more
than a week, while failing
to
tell even
the developer community why. (The main release engineer happened
to be a Wasabi employee, so
this was easy.) After I personally pushed
the release out without
them, it was finally revealed
that
this was because
there was a secret arrangement, which only Wasabi employees and Wasabi board members knew about,
to do a combined NetBSD
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron he can of course point
to deedbot deeds proving
these claims,
danielpbarron: Since it came up in
the /.
thread,
though, I would like
to make one correction. It's widely claimed
that I'm "the one" who ejected
Theo from
the NetBSD community.
That is false. At
that
time in NetBSD's history, Chris G. Demetriou was playing
the role of alpha male, and I wasn't even given a choice. I was certain it was going
to bite us in
the ass. I
think
the question for historians is not whether it did bite us in
the ass,
decimation: 'arrow
to
the
throat - it's
the only language
the savages understand'
decimation: also I would note
that
this happened at a
time when
the intellectual fashion was
to scorn any project designed
to civilize
the 'other'
decimation: actually
the elites were racist as fuck, and were quite willing
to use
the underclass as a weapon against
the kulaks while
they built imaginary 'barriers' around
their homes
mircea_popescu: i fucking wrote about it. elite me lived in
the same bus as some alabamian black kids,
to no detriment of either of us, au contraire.
decimation: charles murray has written about how
the 'elites' and common folk lived in
the same neighborhoods
together
mircea_popescu: nah.
that's natural, and welcome - capitalism rebuidling itself.
decimation: mircea_popescu: I
think it is correlated with
the mass looting of public companies
that became fashionable in
the late 70's/early 80's
decimation: the rhetoric in
the us
tends
toward "a rising
tide lifts all boats" but
the more apparent reality is
to squash
the up-and-coming -
to prevent competition from above and
to 'enhance equality' from below
decimation: asciilifeform: I'm not sure about
that. it seems
to me
that
the us is all about everyone
trying
to keep everyone else from doing exactly
that
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd ask how you know
this, but i'll let it slide :D
ben_vulpes: if not mr y,
then surely lizard hitler
mircea_popescu: i
think you drastically overestimate
the well being of others. but at least it's consistent with
the meta nsa/lizard hitler outlook.
mircea_popescu: and out and out nudity is more of a
terrorism&money laundering
trope
than anything
mircea_popescu: well... you gotta put something up, you know ? gavin can't run
to all of
them in his satoshi costume
mircea_popescu: "I enjoy speaking at financial firms on human rationality." <<
there, your mystery's solved. he's doing
the entertainment for vc
teambuilding events.
decimation: asciilifeform: she said
they would have long conversations where
they were apparently mistaken about
this
decimation: re: "intelle;ctual property" < I spoke with a patent examiner once, she said
that she often was 'paid a visit' by pharma/medical people who were under
the mistaken impression
that
their devices were still under patent
