mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-06#1917493 << apparently i missed this. anyways, so you wanna settle now mockster ? or are you trading or what. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-06-06 11:32 Mocky: i have a coin to repay mircea_popescu and now that i have what with to trade, expect to be a continuous bidder on piz auctions

mircea_popescu: haha nicoleci that was a lovely piece!

Mocky: mircea_popescu: I don't have 1btc worth now, I have enough left over income to start buying on regular basis. Will still take a few months to amass the total.

mircea_popescu: a ok np

mircea_popescu: you meant "i have to repay a coin" not "i have a coin to repay"

mircea_popescu: in other lulz, bon jovi (obscure 90s act) is engaged in a "this house is not for sale" tour

mircea_popescu: i expect what the fuck happened was -- this dude's mortgage being underwater, the bank clerks started making noises about selling his actual place. so he went "fuck you, ima do a tour, make like 100k or w/e i owe you schmucks, pay off the whole loan!!!"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sounds not entirely unlike that other 'great again'(tm)

mircea_popescu: which ?

asciilifeform: speaking of which, reportedly huawei's lappy div (supposedly - closing down) made several genuinely linuxable (vs. 'ubuntable') boxen. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: called honsoon, to go with the longsoon theme of "supposedly" ?

asciilifeform: nah, actual irons , for coupla yrs nao

BingoBoingo: Probably too early to call it shutdown. Pivoting to Chinaware is going to take time after doing the wintel thing

mircea_popescu: nano ftw!

BingoBoingo: Seriously why is eating config options from the input file a thing?

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: No one else was putting that very important name where it needed to go

mircea_popescu: the sad fact of the matter's trump willy-nilly presides over teh make india great again.

BingoBoingo: Seriously 2020 is looking like India's Trump versus China's Biden

mircea_popescu: whole bureaucracy's pretty much that. which is funny, considering those "englightnened" fucks managed to ruin pretty much anything they got involved in.

mircea_popescu: it's the one historical heritage of indianess.

BingoBoingo: The way Mandarin insulates against the future is one asian problem. The other is Indianness and its languages have their own anting mechanisms.

mircea_popescu: i wouldn't even go as far and say india is in asia.

mircea_popescu: very evidently part of the shitty mdidle earth. in there with tadjikistan etc.

mircea_popescu: india is no more asia than wyoming's west coast.

asciilifeform also subscribes to the '19th c'-style pov, where 'asia == ricekingdoms'

asciilifeform: 'hostile text files' << the primacy crown, afaik, still goes to microshit , where these were a thing even in 1990s

asciilifeform: ( recall when 'email virus' concept was a hoax ? )

asciilifeform: open sores -- evidently, catching up, догоним и перегоним (tm)(r)(hrusch) !111

mircea_popescu: "foss" today is basically working for microsoft but without pension/dental

asciilifeform: ( a coupla particular quislings, e.g. orig author of gentoo -- WITH pension/etc. )

mircea_popescu: pour encourager les autres.

mircea_popescu: lusitania sails again!!!
