mircea_popescu: yeah. except with liberal beatings it's come about
tomorrow.
The20YearIRCloud: i figure it'll all come around eventually and
they'll figure out what's going on
mircea_popescu: "("Getting
the job done" does not, and has never required being abusive
to others. Getting
the job done while being abusive is not proof
that being abusive is required or even was part of, "getting
the job done.")"
decimation: yeah
that would be a pretty good way of doing business
mircea_popescu: if i ran a country i'd give linus
the right
to pass death sentences, and sent
the secret service
to execute
them.
mircea_popescu: and
the problem is, not enough heads on pikes around
the lord's castle.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly
the fucking problem. libtards don't want
to live in a country
that works,
they want
to live in a country run by obama.
decimation: Deep in
the comments: "Friend of mine was a mid level product manager on Firefox. What she
told me is
that Eich’s dismissal was entirely due
to politics. Specifically, Mozilla is
this interesting hybrid organization
that relies on it’s global open source community in order
to Get Stuff Done, and
they couldn’t risk alienating all
the volunteers and contributors who make Mozilla possible."
mircea_popescu: that slashdot is instructive
too. "by SuricouRaven (1897204) on Sunday July 27, 2014 @03:33PM (#47544763) His manner is coarse, but you must admit
that he's gotten
the job done. Linux advances on schedule, patches get incorporated, code gets
tested, and all proceeds smoothly." "by Concerned Onlooker (473481) on Sunday July 27, 2014 @03:45PM (#47544841) Homepage Journal And Mussolini made
the
trains run on
time?"
decimation: what I find amusing is
that
the lefties don't get
that
they are in a relgious war because
they don't even realize
that what
they are derping about is metaphysics
thestringpuller: "don't press
the panic button unless it is actual emergency"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i keep hoping maybe one days one of
these libertards with unwarranted delusions of awareness comes by
to peddle his stock of derpage.
mircea_popescu: this has exactly fucking nothing with
the policies of religion and collaborationism witrh
the invader in ireland.
decimation: I
think
that
this guy hangs out with
the lesswrong crowd
too
mircea_popescu: and
then held
them apart for
the rest of
the population.
mircea_popescu: for
the clueless in
the audience :
the
tutsis and
the hutus are not different in any way, except
the belgian missionarries picked
the better looking adolescent boys/girls
to "educate" ie, sex up
mircea_popescu: "Northern Irish Protestants and Northern Irish Catholics. Hutus and
Tutsis" perhaps
the most ignorant piece of drivel ion
there. im counting it as
two strikes in one at any rate.
decimation: he's
the guy
that was fired from mozilla for giving money
to some anti-gay-marriage group
decimation: The most interesting
thing about it is
the comment section, where Brandon Eich chimed in
mircea_popescu: "how
to pretend like i'm doing something really important by doing something really really complex,
that happens
to also be very stupid"
mircea_popescu: the guy in charge is roughly in
the position of poettering
decimation: the guy who wrote is obviously fascinated with reactionary
thought but is also a liberal jew
decimation: heh I
thought of your post on forgiveness
mircea_popescu: foir
the record
that piece quoted earlier is incredibly braindamaged.
mircea_popescu: "Tolerance is definitely considered a virtue, but it suffers
the same sort of dimished expectations forgiveness does."
decimation: but I also submit it's because
the underlying hardware world is crazy
decimation: but I agree
that
the ethernet enumeration is crazy
decimation: linux would be 10x
the disaster it already is
today if linus wasn't in charge
BingoBoingo: At
this rate we'll probably see Stanix before Loper
decimation: but
the masses instead demand a kernel change
decimation: one specific instance I know of - dell reversed
the '1 and 2' ethernet ports in
the bios
decimation: that-and - lots of hardware makers suck at actually making hardware, and
their customers demand a software fix
decimation: asciilifeform: well, basically
the issue is
that no one who wrote
the original linux network subsystem apparently never conceived of how
to enumerate devices
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> i am an early fan. needs more pics of casascius coins
though. <<
this is a point.
topical, related, meaningful pics are a good add.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> any insight into where qntra
traffic is coming from? << cazalla ran off with a lass, but he'll be back midweek, ima push him
to put quantcast in
there,
then you can see directly.
decimation: it's an order of magnitude more complex
to manage for
trival benefits
decimation: asciilifeform: I would like someone from 'grub'
to explain in what what 'grub2' was an improvement
mircea_popescu: in other news, i got a spam comment from "Discount
True Religion Canada Online". which seems just about right.
mircea_popescu: that's
the model.
that's
the model
that made video gaming a
thing, where
there was previously no
thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform orly ? is
this how
the
two hotties i had sundaes with earlier were made ?
mircea_popescu: apparently ##Linux which is fucking weird. i
thought linus owned
the
term linux
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> herr poettering is quite close
to destroying linux as a going concern, imho. << no. what he is close
to is destroying
the notion of "updates" as a going concern. which is a fucking brilliant
thing,
they should have died
ten years ago.
mircea_popescu: it's all
the idiotic faggoty dumbasses with "women's issues" and "being polite" and inane crap like
that
that are
the problem,
mircea_popescu: <mod6>
this qntra.net is p cool. looks good in lynx
too. << it does! <dub> not sure about
the pink <<
that's because of all
the gay.

assbot: Lennart Poettering: Open Source Community "Quite a Sick Place
To Be In" - Slashdot
[]bot: Bet placed: 2.00999999 BTC for No on "Bitcoin
to rise above $600 before December"
http://bitbet.us/bet/1055/ Odds: 22(Y):78(N) by coin, 22(Y):78(N) by weight.
Total bet: 5.231 BTC. Current weight: 98,918.
decimation: anyway it is related
to lennart because he complains about how much vitriol he faces - he is definitely part of an 'outgroup' - people who share many similarities except
they differ strongly over specific beliefs
decimation: it's pretty much a crypto-rehash of moldbug's red/blue distinction but written
to appeal
to liberals
assbot: I Can
Tolerate Anything Except
The Outgroup | Slate Star Codex
decimation: re: lennart << anyone who has done anything
that deals with a relatively unfiltered mass public knows how derpy and stupid
the masses are. why should 'open source' be an exception?
BingoBoingo: mike_c: At some point someone is probably going
to post an image
mike_c: i am an early fan. needs more pics of casascius coins
though.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: but
that's what you were
there for right ? << Indeed, but still... wow. I was ill prepared.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Incoming links mostly it seems. People
tend
to be reading multiple
things per day
mike_c: any insight into where qntra
traffic is coming from?
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo:
there are some surprisingly fit and able 60 year-old men out
there.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic> You'll have
to let me know what
trick is required
to
target
the crud and not
the good stuff. I would personally like
to drink more quebecois beer.. << Practice. Also hard liquor.
BingoBoingo: If you burn out your body with hard living at 67, maybe you only lose one year at
the end
to convalescing. If you
treat it like some nerd's
transformer doll in
the packaging and live
to 90,
that's 2-3 decades of convalescing.
midnightmagic: You'll have
to let me know what
trick is required
to
target
the crud and not
the good stuff. I would personally like
to drink more quebecois beer..
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: My body is a
temple. Maybe it is some rural
tribal arrangement made of straw held
together with Giraffe shit, but god damn it, it is still a
temple!
midnightmagic: I suppose
that's so if you
think your own body has no value.
BingoBoingo: If you get
the success
to get a big old role of drink
tickets with your invite
to speak at an event not using
the decreases your compensation. Also drinking
to forget clears crud out of
the brain.
midnightmagic: Or do you mean aside from
the steep decline in cognition in
the last decade or so?
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic:
That isn't ineffective.
That's efficiency. Cramming as much living as possible into his
time.
midnightmagic: BingoBoingo: You mean aside from every major
talk he's given in
the last X years in front of an audience and bragged about how he got blotto'd
the night before?
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: But where is
the evidence Linus can't
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, Red Hat gave him
the platform. Fedora has close
ties with Gnome... Basically one mole and a
turdware vendor set up dominoes.
midnightmagic: Other people being able
to handle, or not,
their drinking has nothing
to do with whether Linus can.
BingoBoingo: What is
this shit? Did Hemmingway's drinking get in
the way? Did Hunter S.
Thompson's drinking get in
the way? Maybe drinking is what keeps Linus effective in
the face of Poetterings?
