phf: i guess goes to mircea_popescu's often repeated points about
a difference between king and bureaucrat
BingoBoingo: "Then use
a gender neutral pronoun, it's not that hard." << BUT "it" is the gender neutral pronoun!
trinque: ah, thought I recalled
a few that went right through the web browser
trinque: iOS jailbreak has been
a thing since forever, yet somehow that doesn't translate into "swiss cheese exploitable crapware"
BingoBoingo was wondering why Qntra was FIRST by such
a margin this month
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Maybe he'll promise to slip some femayo
a bit of dick if she kamikazes Saddam
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: um.. how does it not help my case ? living 'under'
a metrosexual mockery of something useful is the definition of helping my case. what's trudeau gonna do, whip out yoga pose on me ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-01 21:09 asciilifeform: gotta love how ios 'almost worx' in 1,001 ways. for instance, you can get
a ~functional irc client. BUT it will disconnect after backgrounded for ~30 sec. NO EXCEPTIONS.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Sometimes being militant just means putting on
a show. It however does not help your case that your new Prime Minister is just
a metrosexual mockery of Putin who wants to return CADSOC to its glory days
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: those t.o. gurls just wanna hang wif drake. they're wannabe groupies, which is suppose is
a type of militantness all its own.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: blogger also aspires to harim and castle and and andandnanananndand what of it. dreams are phree for
a reason.
pete_dushenski: maybe in putin's russia, where stasi are organised, blogger can 'have accidental gas asplosion in apartment', but canada is about as militant as
a sack of wet bean sprouts.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Still no justification for "
a few years away" assertion
phf: i had that happen to me too by the way, it's my day to day 2011 macbook pro, and even the chassis got bent. all i had to do is order replacement battery and carefully apply
a rubber mallet. good luck doing that on recent apple machine(tm)

a Lord of TMSR
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-08-01 17:54 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i had
a crapple lappy burst with gas
pete_dushenski: "I was actually happy to see the Hit King get defensive. I kind of felt I was accepted. I heard that about five years ago Pete Rose did an interview, and he said that he wished that I could break that record. Obviously, this time around it was
a different vibe. In the 16 years that I have been here, what I’ve noticed is that in America, when people feel like
a person is below them, not just in numbers b
phf: i like how marlinspike's whisper is the secure alternative to telegram. every time i mention telegram in any tech venue there's always some clown going "use whisper instead telegram is insecure!!!", because in their heads whisper, running on
a fully locked down platform, obviously is
a111: Logged on 2016-08-01 21:09 mircea_popescu: if the trend of "smart phones for stupid people" continues
a few years, banning mobiles from one's site will become
a very respectable heuristic to ensure quality discussion.
phf: asciilifeform eigenstate results in
a complete annihilation of known universe
hanbot: mircea_popescu is faking user agent beyond the ken of "stupid people"? moreover, there'll just be
a mobile app for "not being mobile", what's this banning gonna achieve.
mircea_popescu: if the trend of "smart phones for stupid people" continues

☟︎ mircea_popescu: by now most of the cattle has been pushed out of the actual computing market through simple attrition - they can;t afford $500 for
a computer, nor understand why it'd be useful, and the "smart" p[honme was free with their plan.
phf: trinque: it's truncated from the original, so i agree with asciilifeform or mircea_popescu it's either
a very very lame hacking "attempt" or
a troll
phf: one bug requires
a special broken version of mozilla for example, where x-imap4-modified-utf7 is exposed as
a possible meta charset encoding
phf: asciilifeform: it's an attack against
a pgp key consumer with
a specially broken viewer. userid in this case tries very hard to account for specific set of circumstances (i'm seeing 4 vectors so far), and we're only matching for one, specifically fact that ben_vulpes doesn't sanitize his html.
trinque: trying to jam some script into
a background worker
phf: asciilifeform: pretty boring, since it's just "eating" whatever random tags are in that soup, bullet needs
a special gun to fire, and wotpaste not it
phf: mircea_popescu:
a lot of xss detection "solutions" rely on grepping for known bad input, like "script" or whatever. and there are ways to sidestep that, like '<scr' + 'ipt>' or
a='ipt>';'<scr'+
a. in this case whoever is fucking with detection by using this truly wtf feature i've never heard of, <meta charset="
a">b</meta> that apparently parses b according to charset
a rules
☟︎ phf: just don't carry it past
a sniffer dog
phf: i have similar phone, somewhere in logs, and last time i checked amazon
a few months ago it was going for $200-$800, while same model
a year ago cost $30
shinohai: I thought
a little context might be nice, to know what I was bwahahaha'ing at but whatevs.
mircea_popescu: battery lasts ~hour/gram. so if you buy
a bag ~same as carrying
a wall socket with you
a111: Logged on 2016-08-01 17:50 BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Miama Vice and
a bunch of other police dramas and films
trinque: I don't care if I spend
a couple hundred on something that can be dropped and on which I can actually make
a phonecall
trinque: I haven't found
a single dumbphone that looks solid
BingoBoingo: NO, targeted assasination attempt on
a Lord of TMSR
☟︎ mircea_popescu: speaking of : frusen gladje was
a competitor in the 80s. kraft said it sold it to unilever in the 90s ; unilever said it didn't. the brand ... dissapeared.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: fucking dickhead brian armstrong. literally, i'd rather look at
a picture of an animated penis.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the matter should be chased shinohai ;
a good time as any to put
a fucking end to that miserable cancer.
mircea_popescu: EXACT same symptoms. frailty of mind and spirit,
a certain antisanguine fleshyness, weakness, palor, you name it
mircea_popescu: course iirc phf released
a patch version including basic theme and pre-tweaked most knobs.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-01 07:59 ben_vulpes: the prefuckingcise reason i am not making the investment in mp-wp at this moment is because i am paying
a debt on the virtualization tool choise.
gribble: Error: "2^1023" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: put another way :
a) the mecca of "topical fiction" bullshit yields less money than it costs to buy
a house, don't bother ; us tort law and practice is the lulz of all time.
mircea_popescu: and in other news : oj simpson may or may not have killed his nonconsensually slutty wife and some schmuck named ronald. that schmuck's family did in fact win
a civil award of 33.5 mn. of the sum owed, they collected
a few hundred k's, which consist entirely of... the royalties from
a ghostwritten book. "if i did it: confessions of the killer".
mircea_popescu: sadly at the time i didn't have
a blog, nor truth be told any interest in "the world" generally speaking. so the notes will forever sit.
mircea_popescu: (the interested reader is invited to follow my steps through lowell and teh greater merrimack river valley, to dig through the history of 1800s "industrial" culture, ie, large nunneries filled with girlies presented
a whole new sort of religion.
mircea_popescu: cash is safer than plans, though, in that context (which is
a very sensible context i might add).
