apt-get: convenience isn't limited
to
the device itself, it also encompasses a large ecosystem of both social and
technical incentives
to enter a firm's walled garden.
mircea_popescu: there's just about 0 convenience delivered by
the
tools of "convenience" and "usability".
mircea_popescu: except
the part where
the convenience of doing stupid
thing is just as inconvenient as anything.
apt-get: convenience of usability will always
trump freedom when it comes
to
these
things, which is why you don't see minifree or purism making bank on
their libre hardware.
mircea_popescu: otherwise
they wouldn't go about pretending like
they believe google is in any way different from groupon, a purely imaginary, 100% paper construction.
mircea_popescu: same
thing here, by purely behavioural standards
they're as aware as could be.
mircea_popescu: can't apply livresque standards of awareness
to
the herd,
they're not human in
that sense. you believe cattle is aware of electified fence, even if no cow ever sat down with you and stated as much over beers and buffalo wings.
mircea_popescu: seems perfectly aware and very very fucking
threatened
to me, lol.
apt-get: I suppose such conditions could be
theoretically enforced in a democratic system... but it would imply making
the general populace
to both be aware and feel
threatened by
these issues, which isn't going
to happen anytime soon, practically speaking.
mircea_popescu: if
the priors are anything like a) "anyone should have access
to computers" and b) "to use as
they see fit", you'll be back
to some kind of nsa fritz chip in very short order, especially if you're committed
to equalitarian socialism (or, "democracy",
to use
the in-universe names)
mircea_popescu: the practical problem,
though, is
that depending of how generous you are with
the notion of user, a world without such an interface may not even be possible.
☟︎ apt-get: Well, I don't know if my political leanings would necessarily imply going
to such lengths as described in
that manifesto, but I am indeed supportive of any attempt
to free computing from
the proprietary and government boulders placing
themselves between
the user and
the product.
apt-get: stumbled upon
the loper blog by luck and I found it
to be a cool project
apt-get: hmm, I find
this stuff interesting, I guess?
apt-get: fritz, although I'm not really much of an expert when it comes
to hardware stuff in any way
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, imagine
the ambiguity we dwell in! it's not even fucking clear.
BingoBoingo: apt-get: lurking for
the Fritzchip or
the
training camp?
mircea_popescu: and as far as most mouthbreathers are concerned,
the world is
too much and
the little glass bead of "nigger explains what '''events mean
to me'''" archsufficient.
☟︎ apt-get: thanks, but no need, I'm just here
to lurk
mircea_popescu: but, amusingly enough,
the conversation with
the chick who
thought herself a domme controls here! imagine
that, you know, sex determining matters scientific, how unfair and improper and in breach of implicit promises made by
the "civilisation" of
tedious old women.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-10 16:51 mircea_popescu: well, you.
the locals are
too kind and simple for any sight.
Mocky: it's eye opening for me
to see how it looks from
this side where asciilifeform exposes obvious stench which is met with chorus of 'nah, it smells good'. apparently 'till now I've been
the local, ala:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-10#1822065 ☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, none of
the fucktards can, or ever have, or have any intention of reading source.
mircea_popescu: pretty lulzy because over here it's so low budget, you can directly see
the underwiring.
mircea_popescu: i
thought i linked some "genius orc" kids at some point.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-10 06:28 amstan:
tought i should join
this
to see if you guys have any discoveries
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, re gtk+ 3, observe
that
the dumbass orcs in
the comment section are all about "i don't see why you wouldn't '''upgrade''' your desktop
to browserhood"
Mocky: mircea_popescu, i've found an issue with stacking so suggest
to wait until next version.
today or
tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: Mocky, would it be a good
time
to
try out your foxybot nao ?
Mocky: !Q later
tell lobbes I just got back from uwharrie national forest, ~50km east of Charlotte. ftr, 'deep river' is misnomer, more like 'shallow creek'
Mocky: I'll be hiking in northern virginia in
two weeks, not sure how close
to
the swamp...
a111: Logged on 2018-06-08 17:30 asciilifeform: phf: if you are able
to build
the usb snake -- lemme know which cr50
turd ver is in your box
|\n: now i'd like
to stay lol
mircea_popescu: not
the
time chicks kept coming in
to show us
their
tits,
that's no secret, is
that ?
mircea_popescu: you mean like
that one
time we
took over a bunch of electricity generators for lulz ? or what secrets.
|\n: and whatver if
theres some secret stuff i might leave
|\n: i've seen your name on some resources i read from
time
to
time because pals discuss it as well
mircea_popescu: yeah, i wasn't about
to
take you for one of
the fet sluts. what brings you here ?
mircea_popescu: if he hadn't heard of
the
third reich instrument of surrender he'd be going around his village singing "tomorrow belongs
to me". as it is, he derps on
the periphery of google. if he realised
tmsr owns
the world he'd be "community organizing" for you. and so on.
☟︎ amstan: i mean i doubt it, but
to be fair i don't know much about how it works, just how it's connected
to
the system
amstan: tought i should join
this
to see if you guys have any discoveries
☟︎ amstan: well,
that interesting blog post
mircea_popescu: (gtk, for
the disinterested, is "let's migrate
the browser model
to
the desktop".)
loper_os_cr50_: No I wasn't even searching. Just grab
that android stuff and it suggested
that strange card about
the fritz chip.
loper_os_cr50_: You might receive more visit, Google now reference your last post on cr50
that's what made me arrive at first on your page.
Then I spent
the rest of
the evening reading.
mircea_popescu: well i suspect it's rather
the case he'd like
to buy ~something~.
