phf: in the end wreckers ended up being much more effective against rms than
esr's oss
BingoBoingo:
ESR stole it by putting it on just just in time for Google to be birthed
adlai: twas worth venturing thru the
esr turd to emerge on the other side with "“Social Justice” has reached a sort of Poe’s Law singularity at which the behavior of trolls and true believers becomes indistinguishable even to each other"
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> BingoBoingo: 2 legs good, 4 legs better ? or what was it... << In the end it reverses as the pigs become nearly indistinguishable from the humans, except fatter.
ESR in that pic seemed to have bagged a descendant of "napoleon"
mircea_popescu: so wait, now that they lost "cryptoexpert" bruce whatshisname, and the entire zimmerman angle didn't work, the plan is to bring the deceased husk of
esr back to complement the recently stolen cryptome into some sort of bitcoin-foundation-3.0-except-with-more-gunk ?
BingoBoingo: * pete_dushenski eagerly awaits BingoBoingo's reaction to photo << Pretty sure
ESR was always a pigfucker
jurov:
http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6907 "if you are any kind of open-source leader or senior figure who is male, do not be alone with any female, ever, at a technical conference."
mircea_popescu: so let's add up the history here : b-a decides ntp must die, nsa decides
esr must be re-activated to make a "secure" ntp replacement.
jurov: ascii_field:
esr heard your woes with gentoo mirrors and came with genial solution: make tarballs obsolete!!!1

(They cost my wife her job, too – that’s been psychologically rough on her.)" << moar
esr from punkman's link
ascii_field:
esr is an especially noxious worm for having the temerity to pretend that his career owes nothing to usg
ascii_field: i for one sincerely hope that
esr lives long enough to starve; and that i live long enough to watch.

☟︎ pete_dushenski: ascii_field: as to
esr's 100k, to quote "Yes, we do have some savings and stock. No, I don’t want to tap them, because thank you I do not want to be on the dole or dead of starvation and exposure when I’m really old. "
pete_dushenski: aha. very reasonable counter-point. but my original point still stands because you're changing the premises now.
esr didn't have 10c and need 9 to make rent, same for lottery/athletics winners. they had millions and failed to turn it into anything other than heartache and dust
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: by the time
esr could legally sell his shares in 'lnux' (june 2000), the share price had tanked from $240 at end of ipo day to ~$40.
ascii_field has seen
esr in the flesh on several occasions, and the man is an INSUFFERABLE braggart and confabulator
mircea_popescu: people who formed their ideas about the world prior - be it jws or
esr or anyone else, would show remarkable blindness to the relevant issues, which are exactly above.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Loves Apple. Only cares about source being available. Hates Linux in practice. Been keeping up the blog forever and posting rather infrequently. Almost has to be
ESR.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
ESR professes as to be such
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Best I can tell as always
ESR simply thinks he can avoid starvation
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
esr is posting from an universe where apple has ambitions.
the_scourge: just when i was starting to think
esr and rms didn't have a point. maybe they did
xmj: hey, even
ESR has written something on sigmas.
BingoBoingo: benkay: I took the linen texture from the Jargon File
ESR maintains
dub: you've pointed at
ESR pankkake:
ESR has a genetic diformity or something
dub: its great that
ESR put his bajo down long enough to oander to you guys though
