mircea_popescu: WHY did not rms say "you MUST unify the toolchain" at such a time as ~before~ ers could step in to do it for his usual expectation of a coversion gain ?
mircea_popescu: they love the whatever, "world", "cosmos", whatever it is, and dun wanna hurt it. and they figure if they don't exist, can't hurt it. and so will studiously avoid saying "~I~ forbid you from X", not because "they believe in equality" or "it's impolite" or "other's freedom" or any such bs. the driving force is simply that IF you say "i order/forbid you" then therefore you CAN end up in the situation whereby "you forbade me and
mircea_popescu: but let it be said that the ~actual~ reason all these bernie sandals tards pretend all the shit they pretend about equality and authority is precisely this fear : that the flow of events may bring them to this position where they did something wrong.
mircea_popescu: now why exactly this does NOT read "it is here because ~I FAILED~ to signal correctly and in order" is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: to set up the combined facilities on their own. SourceForge made the combination conveniently available for both new and experienced developers. "
mircea_popescu: it should be instructive exactly ~how~ ers's warcrime as you (with cause) call it made its way into rms's naive ranch of cattle purity : "SourceForge brought to Free Software a unified and standard development methodology based on modern tools. Before SourceForge, such tools (bug tracking, cvs, web, support, forums, polls, news, etc.) were available individually, but few developers used many of them together, because they had
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so they were using a logotron made by someone not in the l1, big whoop. (then you realise they apparently HAD NO IDEA this is what they're doing, or what a l1 even is -- suddenly the "big whoop" turns to "wtf is wrong with these idiots")
mircea_popescu: they have SUCH a fucking ridiculous, fucking obvious, structurally-stable passive-aggressive approach to things, jesus god. one can literally identify, tag and mark the invidious bernie sandals socialist by this his most peculiar approach to conflict and social hierarchy.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck must be going in through their skulls to view "advertisement spend from proprietary competitor on my page" as anything but a) a great lul and b) hey, nice, i'll be sure to buy more dog toys for the bitches out of THEIR MONEY
mircea_popescu: you see, THIS is what i'm fucking worried about, getting an add for a "proprietary competitor". cuz that's what we're fucking doing here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform probably because "Savannah has high project approval requirements and thus visitors can expect freedom-related qualities from projects hosted here (such as no proprietary dependencies). Moreover, there are no advertisements, thus you do not run the risk of getting an ad for a proprietary competitor on your project page."
mircea_popescu: there's literally nothing else happening going back years.

mircea_popescu: "Welcome to Savannah, the software forge for people committed to free software:", but i'm not gonna link it. because fucking misnomers.
mircea_popescu: the problem's all these people who keep not getting it right, see. the problem with socialism is insufficient socialism!!!
mircea_popescu: because, obviously, in moron's eyes the problem wasn't socialism to begin with. i mean, mussolini tried, just didn't do it right. then hitler didn't do it right. stalin showed him how, but sadly also didn't do it right. but it's ok, roosevelt showed them how. and mao and trotsky and eventually rms.
mircea_popescu: and "cooperation". ALLLLLLLL trhe fucking problems of naive socialism, ALLLLL of them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or that time they got directx on its knees and then went ahead and gave opengl back.
mircea_popescu: "we've managed to burn 20 years worldwime and in excess of 10k engineer man-years to reproduce an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of corporate land".
mircea_popescu: AS DOING. The fact the rest of you are now finally realizing that some of the problems I already solved years ago were, in fact, real issues, is mildly amusing to me in a morbid way. If you have competent developers on this lsit you don't NEED my patches, you can figure out how to do it from the _idea_ in a couple hours." << there, as good an epitaph FOSS could ever get.
mircea_popescu: "I do not trust Grischka's technical judgement, his committment to the project (I put way more time into my fork than he's put into the official version), his leadership abilities, or his organizational skills. I spent three years of my life improving this project (not just coding but documentation and testing and design and so on), and the result was esentially discarded at the whim of somebody who DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I W
mircea_popescu: and in other news, apparently the girls will get me anything
mircea_popescu: let the morons/amateurs/menalone/etcetera crop stick to "freelancing", making websites, iphone apps and the rest of the cattle-adequate activities.
mircea_popescu: in any case, the ownership of this entire thing is clearly established, and entirely nobody the fuck else outside of properly authorized republican hands may fucking touch it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yaya, "If you're into social media, you can follow me on mastodon" etcetera, of course.
mircea_popescu: not only i will negrate anyone who in any way participates in that shameless shitsoup, starting with janneke moron, but eventually also shoot them.
mircea_popescu: d for building the complete system. Therein lies a problem: the current combined size of these bootstrap binaries is about 250MB . Auditing or even inspecting these is next to impossible. For i686-linux and x86_64-linux, GuixSD now features a "Reduced Binary Seed" bootstrap (see the wip-bootstrap branch). We would like to say: "Full Source Bootstrap" and while we are working towards that goal it would be hyperbole to use that
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other lulz, "Guix---like other GNU/Linux distributions---is traditionally bootstrapped from a set of bootstrap binaries: Bourne shell, command-line tools provided by GNU Coreutils, Awk, Findutils, sed, and grep and Guile, GCC, Binutils, and the GNU C Library. Usually, these bootstrap binaries are "taken for granted." Taking these binaries for granted means that we consider them to be a correct and trustworthy see
mircea_popescu: the last conflict with clear us agency would be the redskin elimination, i guess.
mircea_popescu: i can't recall the last time the eventual outcome had much to do with the us, tbh. i mean, syria obviously entirely unrelated to any usg claim to agency. but it's not clear their last victory did anything meaningful to iraq ; certainly never budged either korea or vietnam. the euros are exactly where they'd have been had germany won ww2. and so following.
mircea_popescu: the "kicking", and increasingly more the "shooting" happening principally in the self-aimed navel-grazing devices.,
mircea_popescu: all the way to "iraq/syria/whatever BIONUCLEAR&CHEMICAL WEAPONS!!!!"
mircea_popescu: but anyway, certainly a lot of interest in stripmining these days.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform entirely nothing. nicaragua is like biloxi.
mircea_popescu: better freedom fight caracas than baltimore, in any case.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform possibly driven by that exact fox's tail swing.
mircea_popescu: you recall, dude had meltdown over how his brain can't function with "fuckgoats" the string being involved.
mircea_popescu: hmmm... i dun think so tbh, was a DIFFERENT set of these equally indistinguishable amateur shitheads.
mircea_popescu: was some other pos with some retard defending it in the usual terms of "not nice words" or some similar bs. aaanyways.
mircea_popescu: actually, do you recall those "business" imbeciles discussing "the superior alternative to phuctor" and "what to do in case of divorce" roth-blabla in the same breath ?
mircea_popescu: there's really a lengthy list of these, "o noes, someone's fundamentally not as fucked in the head as us ?! O GOD SAVE US FROM SUCH HORRORS!!!"
mircea_popescu: stepped in something awful's wide open jaw with both feet, all i got in return was an "oww!!!" and so on.
mircea_popescu: that has to be there, yeah. might be some flag faggotry tho, i am foggy.
mircea_popescu: also guile is an unmitigated (and unmitigatable) piece of shit, if memory serves
mircea_popescu has spent the past two days @world's largest hotsprings, horseback riding etc, is now looser than an amateur's synapse.
mircea_popescu: supports all the targets qemu does, B) can build linux and busybox and uClibc and itself (thus providing a self-bootstrapping system; I'd upgrade busybox to have missing bits like "make"). << maybe HE could be doing the tcc work, at any rate.
mircea_popescu: Someday if I get back to this topic, I want to glue either sparse or the tcc front end to qemu's tcg back end and produce a new compiler that A)
mircea_popescu: but, if looking for more targets to practice your email curse...
