mircea_popescu: and no, if you haven't talked to EVERY SINGLE LAST STRIPPER, EVERYWHERE, from strippers.com to webcams.shit to
reddit.etc, you have not done the job of "baron titsbare".
mircea_popescu: kid was bored at work, who may tell him he's not allowed ~the use~ of ~
reddit's airplane~ to ~do some cool shit~ for a break ?
BingoBoingo: Those things support the cultured pearl theory. A hive mind that reliably bloopered this way wouldn't be as bad a the true
Reddit mircea_popescu: but if you're bored one day, read ye olde tardstalk "investors" threads from the days of yore, before
reddit invaded and everyone makes "new coins". then compare with yours, and figure out how and wherefore teh delta lol
mircea_popescu: in fact, there's this group of weirdos on
reddit who train children to pretend they're the missing children of other people.
trinque: lol, this "I have beef with someone on
reddit" thing
fromloper: Hello. Was just reading through your blog, figured I would hop on IRC. Really I wanted to see if you were on
reddit mircea_popescu: consider this comes from someone who's systematically owned okcupid&every other "dating" "platform", askfm,
reddit etc -- every other "social media" platform, who was doing put-flyers-on-posts ~a decade ago~ and just as systematically and so on.
brazilish: so I saw a post on
reddit about a supposed nsa free desktop, and I'd like to ask opinions here
mircea_popescu: this fragmenting thing they're doing is amusingly enough more helping
reddit than they could have done if they were good redditors and "created" "content" for it.
mircea_popescu: mah work in
reddit / fetlife / whatever machine-infiltration is pioneering specifically because ~nobody else~ ever fucking does this. because it's expensive.
mircea_popescu: "censored reddits" is about 500% the extant
reddit by mass.
mircea_popescu: recall the time i bought that dork a ranked
reddit account ? recall the time anything came of it ?
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 14:39 asciilifeform: meanwhile,
reddit verdict : 'Are there any less tinfoiley sites that discuss this? All of the references circle back to him.'
BingoBoingo: Sure. gossipd isn't the only use case. Can't expect the moo cows to report to the
reddit bags because they have been issued messages over a gossipd they aren't equipped to use. It's a use case that demands voice and/or video.
BingoBoingo: Well, why does anyone do amateur radio? Same reason they post on
reddit. They want a hot young wife, and a dog and grandchildren who love them, but they settle for DX'ing and postcards.
BingoBoingo: Holy shit, I wake up with FAR less crackling in my lungs AND a milestone on the path to
reddit bags for the reading!
jossi: Mostly browse
reddit and watch youtube lol
mircea_popescu: there's this pattern in usg attempts to subvert bitcoin, as discussed in that thread and generally in the logs ; it's "success" depends on the ignorance of the userbase, which is what separates very sharply the bitcoin "users" into republican and imperial sets. the latter have some dust and
reddit.
mircea_popescu: their top stories being... "i grepped
reddit for a string", "here is some shannonized nonsense about a topic too large for enric durany to touch", "how a kid from sf started a school in india" and ON AND ON.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's also an endless supply of the "totally not the same thing as this" "platforms", medium, that shitty thing with "i made $0.05 with this post"
reddit tip bot extension and so on.
BingoBoingo: trinque: Remember the "
Reddit Police" DDoS bot?
BingoBoingo: Why no outrage for the poor suffering Sergeant who had to convincingly pretend enthusiasm when banging it out with a bag old enough that she had a mid-20's adult son die from terminal
reddit/opiods last year.
mircea_popescu: no but i mean the fucking lameness of it. dood's got a "well rounded internet experience", he's got a mortgage and a boring wife and a boring job and a hp he bought at the store, and he "logs in" for a coupla hours four times a week or w/e. every nine weeks and a half we pop up again in the rotation, he's done 4chan,
reddit, facebook, whatever, "i wonder what THOSE zany kids are up to these days".
a111: Logged on 2018-01-25 23:37 NoSatoshisHear: centralized system, so one server counts the ticks, it would simply be a demo of
reddit "the button" style idiocy combined with gambling. Sounds viral, like the 1918 flu.
NoSatoshisHear: damn, where is my
reddit upgoat, since you have earned many.

☟︎ phf: all these things are
reddit available "oh i saw link and played with it". try ~actually~ ~rebuilding~ a genera system from source code
mircea_popescu: oh, you mean other than the "i have my spurious "bitcoin is scamming" verbiage all over
reddit " guy ?
mircea_popescu: remember back when
reddit thought itself like... significant or something ? important in this world ?
trinque: by that logic all of
reddit just lost its virginity
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760909 << recall the good old days when the "
reddit experts" / pantsuit&allies actually got to burn in warehouses rather than 18sqft ny apartments ?<< That was last year, and how did te steel melt if there was no fire??
☝︎ phf: i suspect this dude doesn't have any kind of apropriate venue to publish an obituary that he expects to be read by a lot of people. that's sort of the point of obituary, is to get any random
reddit man to scratch his head

shinohai: Now take same notebook, have slave girl wipe ass on single sheet. Put up for auction on
reddit or a chan. Pretty sure some degenerate will pay $100+ for a waifu notebook with poop in it.
mircea_popescu: ie, the fundamental problem of the worthlessness of ugc is being plumbed by usg at the wrong end : by abusing the power of the state to create imaginary value (a "creator" on etsy/patreon/etc might just be ye olde myspace band worth 0.00 ; but a "moderator" on
reddit/youtube/etc is DOING GODS WORK and therefore how do you dare say priest time is worth 0 terrorist!!!)
a111: Logged on 2017-05-15 21:59 mircea_popescu: anywya, im not reading this pile of garbage ; but from the skimming -- the whole argument is born of ignorance.
reddit got its start as a heaven for child porn peddlers who got banned on digg.
mircea_popescu: well... if you feel like documenting it so i'm not the only one explaining how
reddit is worth < than the slashdot's coupla mil, lock stock and barrel...
danielpbarron: i bought some
reddit ad time for it but nothing ever came of it
a111: Logged on 2017-11-30 15:26 asciilifeform: every so often somebody linkes from hn,
reddit, etc ( and here i was thinking 'aaah, finally permabanned' ! )
mircea_popescu: students had the speech ? in the sense of what everloving shit, like
reddit and wikipedia, that's what's contemplated here, ceausescu prevented the idiots from running r/btc as they wanted to ?
mircea_popescu: (this, btw, is what
reddit is like ON ITS OWN POWER, ie when conde nast isn't tripping up the fake account levers)
