mircea_popescu: anyways, contrary to the purportings and pretences traditionally
required by their culture, i do kinda suspect ye pantsuit gets pretty well overwhelmed in this here copacetic copse of #trilema
jfw: trinque: hm, I thought you had implemented selection there but doesn't appear working.
mircea_popescu: so what's the point, casual usage of the word sin is triggering ?

mircea_popescu: for some reason these couldn't be further apart in the romanian mind.
jfw: "Not treating users like they're "illiterate" if they want to be able to write their own name has always been the most important

jfw: core value of the project, and your attitude towards the matter here does not make me interested in going out of my way to cater to you."
jfw: well at least he puts it in terms of HIS interests rather than all users worldwide in the abstract
jfw: ...or I suppose he does that too, hm.

diana_coman: jfw: eh, that's the usual way socialism always goes - it's "the people's interests" except of course they get defined discarding any given individual's input if it does not match "what the interests should be" etc.
jfw: easiest way to "resolve" the nonexistence of a singluar "people's interests" I guess
diana_coman: well, they are certainly stuck to "resolve" through pretense of one sort or another; whether that is the easiest pretense or not doesn't even matter all that much, it's more like a forced move really, what *else* are they going to do since they rule out entirely addressing the root cause?

deedbot: hanbot updated rating of asciilifeform from 3 to -1 << For all his pretensions to personhood, this guy actually needed me to save him from a hotel bill he couldn't handle as he was too stupid, neglectful, or both, to check out on his own. Years later he's decided to keep raging against acquiring basic skills by attempting to tarnish those who tried to help him. In a word, the ficklest friend I ever thought I had.
hanbot: "This will allow non-English speakers the ability to understand the errors that are happening on the computers they own." << jfw lol check out the thinly-veiled ownership hierarchy. "you need us in order to pretend to ownership!"
jfw: hanbot: haha yes. Their code is the complete and exclusive source of ability!
