asciilifeform: i dun think i know the ref -- are these euloric artifacts ?
asciilifeform: ( i assume he was found equal to the work, at some earlier time )
asciilifeform: he's full time eulorist nao, iirc
mircea_popescu: the fellow'\s fucking endearing, what can i tell you.
asciilifeform: lol Mocky about to become familiar with the art of the hacksaw
mircea_popescu: (yes, obviously, my highly structured response to the problem being called slavery, but that's neither here nor there, walled garden so to speak)
lobbesbot: Logged on 2018-08-14 01:25:07: <Mocky> and i added implementations of those methods to worldhandler.cpp, which i can show if curious. but this brings me to my problem: I can't include worldhandler.h in any of my code without bringing in the whole cs / ps spitoon
mircea_popescu: http://logs.minigame.biz/2018-08-14.log.html#t01:25:07 << very much the central problem republic's been dealing with since serious work begun.
asciilifeform: especially then.
asciilifeform: there's always plenty to do , even when the 'doers' are in drunken haze instead
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but at the time ~there was something to do~. this, yes, always rescues. but what's there to do ? last time esltard did something the wall was still standing.
mircea_popescu: breifly back to phf 's discussion of r+ thing : i confess i mostly did it to encourage the "spammer" to put registration in. sadly... went instead the way of http://logs.minigame.biz/2018-08-13.log.html#t22:59:16 ☟︎
asciilifeform: dunno, the antics of marie antoinette did not cancel actual milkmaids existing
mircea_popescu: sorta like being a homosexual was only a sexual choice before they came up with the political choice of being gay.
asciilifeform: afaik typical orc puts on a suit solely when being buried
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform see, eating roadkill is only not giving a shit until some nutjob in santa cruz comes up with $275 to rent a cable channel slot and starts pushing his miracle cure, diet & philosophy.
mircea_popescu: because you specifically can't have fried ice, these two are contradictory. either it's marketed to or not.
mircea_popescu: in my case it's in suits. but in any case, it'll ahve to not have been pret-a-porter not-giving-shits.
asciilifeform: or whatever fell of the truck most recently
asciilifeform: i'd picture that genuine not-giving-shit will be in plain white rag
a111: Logged on 2018-08-14 17:03 phf: asciilifeform: i saw it, i'm pointing out that this addition breaks things. you have to make sure that every single client plays along with freenode's defective ident system, otherwise you get breaks in logs, etc. e.g. phf bouncer is used as a fallback for logs, to ensure continuity, where the fact that the bouncer would come back naively (i.e. without trying to negotiate with nickserv) was a feature
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think about it this way, "ropa americana" ie, 2nd hand clothes imported from the us, are VERY DISTINGUISHABLE in actual not-giving-a-shit places. how would this be, if it carried no information ?
a111: Logged on 2018-08-13 17:27 mircea_popescu: george sanders has an excellent point re this : "for new yorkers who want to go out of town, new haven is a stretch of sidewalk between the taft hotel and the schubert theatre, surrounded by what appears remarkably like a small town".
mircea_popescu: recall, the whole point of propaganda is for you to choose without having to. hence both http://trilema.com/2017/the-practical-costs-of-hallucinated-freedom/#selection-419.0-431.38 and http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-13#1841255 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: or so they think, at any rate.
asciilifeform: dunno if meant to 'show' anyffing, it's what folx go around in when entirely not giving shit, costs $5
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with hobo garb, "shows you care" "about the less fortunate".
asciilifeform: 'company dress code' must be a west-usa thing, asciilifeform went through several slaveries where he was only one not dressed in hobo garb
mircea_popescu: kinda how this works, best i can tell. "this is the livery for expressing your disdain to livery, and this is the livery to express your dedication to livery, and there you go, a complete experience out of a cardboard breakfast box"
mircea_popescu: but then when same galley hand "team building", all the stupid cunts had the same cut of panties on, you just didn't look.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how "ironic" works. YES the emblazoned tshirts. of course, it's what they're for, channeling this sentiment.
asciilifeform: i recall slaving in a galley where the brass handed out 'company shirts', then later saw'em in the kitchen as dishrags
mircea_popescu: "in this office, we dress from $scripshop)
mircea_popescu: yes, they do.
asciilifeform: ( or do they )
asciilifeform: well they dun make the programmers wear 'crapple uniform' yet
mircea_popescu: very much has. company dress code, and they DO all dress very much alike. the differences are superficial.
mircea_popescu: if it doesn't come with a laptop-with-watch-in-it, it's not as PRESTIGIOUS a job. (term of art, from the guy with the vehemently delectable pork sausage)
mircea_popescu: see ? that's the beauty of it, all these lost fucktards who don't have $50 bucks to pay on my queens fulla jacks, nevertheless, NEVERTHELESS i say, "is very rich"
asciilifeform: 'welcome to butugychag, here's yer wheelbarrow, it has only left handle'
mircea_popescu: but their ~employer~ does!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 1 hole, is that 'generation-fara' dun buy $4k lappy. they buy ipnoje.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform trinque totally has it, remember who the audience is. http://trilema.com/generatia-fara
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the +r thing... we did get the no j/p spam part. sadly the way this shit works leaves no optimal choice, gotta pick this-or-that. is the idea we... i picked the wrong set ?
asciilifeform: trinque: difficult to picture the logic, unless it was deliberate 'coca cola classic' gambit, where it's to be put back later
mircea_popescu: end up with a programmable hardware inclusion list on which to run a php ftp emulator.
asciilifeform: trinque: i can only assume that 'make emacs unrunnable on this' was specific objective
mircea_popescu: trinque hopefully they put a laptop in the watch next.
trinque: that "touch bar" thing is the saddest shit. they literally put the stupid watch they made in the laptop. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "what do you think of elon musk ? i mean, his ideas ?" "what fucking ideas ?"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty sure it's ~all~ he got time for. well, possibly aside from buggery, and from deciding which connectors and keyboard keys to remove from crapple product next
a111: Logged on 2018-08-14 16:49 phf: oh this is beautiful, the new "registered only" restriction on channels means that unless your bouncer auto identifies, you get kicked off the channel
a111: Logged on 2018-08-14 15:01 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathendom lulz, https://archive.is/43EIJ >> 'Amid mounting public pressure to address Jones' hate speech, Apple's Tim Cook and Eddy Cue met over the weekend and decided to pull five of Jones' podcasts from their platform'... << 'по просьбе трудящихся'(tm)(r) !
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-14#1841285 << the sorta shit tim cook has time during weekend for. ☝︎
asciilifeform: will show sumthing like max sectors = 78125000/78165360, HPA is enabled if it's there.
mircea_popescu: ima have to check that.
asciilifeform: ( typically needs magic code sent via the sata )
BingoBoingo: AH, that's why it still has the sticker
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dun fughet to nuke the 'ata hidden partitions' nonsense
diana_coman: and at any rate gentoo is only last linux installed, being as it is a public toilet iron of sorts, it got at different points in its life everything on
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i know, had to format. let it read ext4, wut.
mircea_popescu: well this is the core of my point! holy shit you sheltered existences, you have nfi what it's even like, out there!
asciilifeform: ( ftr, in addition to the many other 'wonders', uefi-infected bios will search erry disk for ms-signed turds and execute'em on boot, erry single time )
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I think it did but by now I don't even remember for sure re this particular one
asciilifeform: afaik x60 was the ~last lappy without uefiism
mircea_popescu: diana_coman did it also have the "uefi" bs ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, re tastes, you've not seen any of this "interview" bs. it's fucking comedy central, watching solo/girl-girl models talk to each other.
diana_coman: eh, it is a sort of public toilet
asciilifeform: i like to put'em on public toilets
diana_coman: re laptop, I can say I carry around one that still has the windowssomething label, what of it
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo who do you think you are, anyways!
diana_coman: so yes, it catches the eye
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it will please you to know your name having been mentioned in passing in aside conversation, it proved remarkably enough to now denote the evil of internet boys among the new recruits.
BingoBoingo: Ah, a long tale of the new recruit's lappy
asciilifeform: ( iirc that one was also a fiorina creation )
asciilifeform: this isn't same box as had the sad backlight is it
mircea_popescu: assemblage can be drastically improved by placing laptop atop her ass, playing publicdisgrace.com. bring the light of the great urban outdoors in the dank of the cellar.
asciilifeform: i guess i have simple tastes , dun particularly need to hear the cuntlips schlick
mircea_popescu: i dunno, to watch ashley lane walk around town ?
a111: Logged on 2016-03-03 20:46 asciilifeform: i eventually put back the heathen bios on the x60, BUT i ida'd it and nop'd out the imbecile nic whitelist
asciilifeform: ( http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-03#1421281 << x60 thread ftr ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: they tend to include intel's , for which to this day no driver
mircea_popescu: precisely. wtf is that ?!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at this point this is a decade-long pestilence, even asciilifeform's x60 (circa 2009, iirc) terraforming recipe includes patching bios to permit hand-installed nic to work , followed by installation of same
mircea_popescu: first time ever i had to compile wireless drivers.
asciilifeform: ( e.g. in the sad saga of http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2433 )
mircea_popescu: but anyway, let the record reflect i did do it. and THEN had to conjure up wireless driver, because holy shit it comes with an unknown pos atop the realtek.
asciilifeform: re screwdriver, typically with newer shitboxen there is nothing even to do inside, only win from taking it apart is to help fit into rubbish bin
mircea_popescu: it was an eye widening experience for yours, truly.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, the "setup" page consisted of, i kid you not, 20 word "descriptions" of the various items and links to "read more" ie ON THE FUCKING WEB. no knobs.
mircea_popescu: EXACTLY like shitty cellphone service, "hey, you just placed a call, we'll send spam sms 10 minutes later, so you think it's the op and look"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the new biosen are lulzy also, often they have tcp stack nao, and read file system , and even show spam in the setup
mircea_popescu: "hey, it seems like you're copying a lot of files, would you like to buy this or that ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but as far as it was concerned, i suspect it also "didn't have" the switch. you should see wtf windows has morphed into, jesus christ.
mircea_popescu: i was about to take screwdrivers to it tbh.
asciilifeform: increasingly they dun have one at all
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at least you found box where it ~has~ the off switch
asciilifeform: oh hah the 'secure boot' lulz
mircea_popescu: there's like three intermediate states, progress by degrees.
mircea_popescu has wiped the windows10 off a hp "envy". jesus fuck, anyone had ANY FUCKING IDEA just how many times you gotta reboot and bless the box to get through the lock microshit put on the boot process ?!
