asciilifeform: this might be an advanced matter of mircea_popescutronics that i am grossly unequipped to reason about.

She becomes more important

mircea_popescu: But this critique is backwards, it assumes the magazine is trying to trick its audience, this is wrong, the audience is using the magazine to trick itself. The audience wants this distance. It wants heroes, celebrities, people with power-- it wants an upper class-- and it wants them inaccessible. Envy? No, that's advertising, this is the "news." This is what happens when a whole generation's narcissism is threatened wi
mircea_popescu: th injury-- since everything is possible, why aren't you enjoying everything?-- the personality structure becomes overwhelmingly defensive.

mircea_popescu: o wait, speaking of diamond trains :
mircea_popescu: Kastner moved to Israel after the war, becoming a spokesman for the Ministry of Trade and Industry in 1952. In 1953 he was accused of having been a Nazi collaborator in a pamphlet self-published by Malchiel Gruenwald, a freelance writer. The allegation stemmed from his relationship with Eichmann and another SS officer, Kurt Becher, and from his having given positive character references after the war for Becher and two
mircea_popescu: other SS officers, thus allowing Becher to escape prosecution for war crimes. The Israeli government sued Gruenwald for libel on Kastner's behalf, resulting in a trial that lasted 18 months, and a ruling in 1955 that Kastner had, in the words of Judge Benjamin Halevy, "sold his soul to the devil". By saving the Jews on the Kastner train, while failing to warn others that their "resettlement" was in fact deportation to
mircea_popescu: the gas chambers, Kastner had sacrificed the mass of Jewry for a chosen few, the judge said. The verdict triggered the fall of the Israeli Cabinet.

asciilifeform: where was that mircea_popescu (?) article re: how a child learns that 'i can create!!1111!!' when he takes his first self-aware shit, and that many people wedge at this blockheight ?
mircea_popescu: calling this mp is a gross misattribution, the idea's old and well discussed/accepted
asciilifeform: yes but there was a particular exposition
mircea_popescu: hm.
asciilifeform: 'featuritis' is an inevitable outgrowth of this particular flavour of insanity, where the sufferer believes that adding anything whatsoever, so long as his 'intentions were pure' or whatnot, is a 'contribution'
asciilifeform: even (especially) if the addition is of his own shit
mircea_popescu: i vaguely remember the thing but i can't tell you which article
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in the good news department - progressing illiteracy means they've moved on from featuritis to fixing comments in the code so it no longer includes the string "retarded" and all " he" is replaced with "erzsjebet".
asciilifeform: will be interesting to see the 'fall of constantinopol' moment when linus t. is finally purged
asciilifeform: presently the comments people are yet outside of the walls
asciilifeform: befouling 'node js' and other things which i've never even heard of until their mention in here
mircea_popescu: how exactly would that purge work ?
asciilifeform: i must confess that i do not know about re: the modus operandi, to say precisely
mircea_popescu: but in principle.
asciilifeform: but i imagine they'll install some 'sjw' chick in 'his' place
mircea_popescu: no, but how ?
mircea_popescu: like what happens, google takes his email away gives it to whoever ?

mircea_popescu: insta merged where by whom ?
mircea_popescu: this is what i'm trying to follow.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yours is the $64-quadrillion-bezzollar question - what weapon
asciilifeform: i'll say, what weapon:
asciilifeform: device drivers.
mircea_popescu: i still don't get it.
asciilifeform: example. some months ago, i tried one of those 'usb 3.0 to flatpanel' gizmos. ☟︎
asciilifeform: turned out, they ~~ALL~~ use the same chip. and the vendor 'finally knuckled under and released linux drv!!!' to 'great rejoicing of the proletariat.' EXCEPT...
asciilifeform: it isn't a linux drv. it's a closed blob. and works ONLY with ubuntu kernels.
asciilifeform: for reasons that no one was ever bothered to discover.
asciilifeform: these idiocies - are legion.
asciilifeform: and just about every time i try to plug in a piece of hardware too young for the white plastic to have turned a deep spittoon yellow, i encounter them.
asciilifeform: so, as with the fall of the original byzantium, it will be an implosion of an already rotten husk
asciilifeform: it is already quite difficult, bordering on impossible, to run 'vanilla' kernel on anything like consumer hardware.
asciilifeform: and the items which work, or appear to, are hanging on by a thread
asciilifeform: e.g., the traditional standby of 'this vga card WILL work' is... intel's cheapo thing, as in mircea_popescu's thinkpads.
asciilifeform: guess what - NO LONGER releases specs.
mircea_popescu: but this turns out LINUX.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't wedge linus from linux, it wedges linux from the usg world (or vice-versa)
mircea_popescu: for linus it's actually beneficial.
asciilifeform: it wedges out linux. to be replaced with - ubuntu et al.
mircea_popescu: besides the point. under discussion here is specifically the unseating of linus from linux.
asciilifeform: at some point it will be 'unless violet purple signs this kernel, pc you bought at the store won't boot it'
asciilifeform: and linus can go and ???.
asciilifeform: all the 'jwz'-style 'pragmatists' who followed l. will join the 'new linux'.
asciilifeform: y'know, the ones who 'just want it to work'
mircea_popescu: this is not liable to happen.
mircea_popescu: this would be a clarification. usg depends on fog.
asciilifeform: actually it already partially happened

asciilifeform: yes, you can desolder the rom and rewrite, and have something like a normal box
asciilifeform: BUT you can't remove intel's 'management' fw
asciilifeform: which is where the next incarnation will do the sig check.
mircea_popescu: the moment that happens intel is so dead...
asciilifeform: recall the 'violence without recourse' thing ?
asciilifeform: works both ways, no ?
asciilifeform: what exactly is done after 'intel is so dead' ?
mircea_popescu: kidnap women in the steppes of washington, dc, for sale in the slave market at saigon ?
mircea_popescu: anwyay. the only actually feasible approach is to unfortunate boating accident him, after which yeah, linux'll be all concern trolled into oblivion.
