mats: libreboot doesn't exclude turds as part of its philosophy iirc
BingoBoingo: More accurate: Libreboot is perfectly happy to include turds so long as they have an RMS approved license
phf: rms doesn't see вредительство as a problem, but it's also the kind of a problem for which there's no technical solution
phf: ("wrecking")

mircea_popescu: phf whart do you mean not technical solution ?
phf: it's not clear to me how to enforce it without human in the loop. a monkey can enforce gpl, but it takes thinking human in the loop to identify a wrecker code
mircea_popescu: well, if there is wrecker code there's probably a systematic problem at work
mircea_popescu: imo gpl/gnu/foss/blabla is all sunk by the fact that they wish to oppose SOME effects of socialism, while staying socialist.
mircea_popescu: put a wot in there, give up on the idea that people are fungible, problem goes away.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this would still be a human as opposed to "technical" problem.
phf: but those are all social solutions.
mircea_popescu: but on thinking about it, i guess in the end i disagree there even could be such a thing as a technical problem.
mircea_popescu: not that the abstract notion isn't tempting. but i fear it may well be one of those, dwim things.
kakobrekla: !rate botneko-chan 1 on the right side of the fight
assbot: Request successful, get your OTP: http://w.b-a.link/otp/57e4c0af6e1136cc
asciilifeform: a 'technical problem' is simply shorthand for problem where the solution is extremely well-defined. e.g., wire is broken, does not conduct, telegraph does not go. solution is technical - mend wire.

asciilifeform: am i thick?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we don't. but i'm giving moneyz to girls that go topless. why not to guys that live on own two feet ?
phf: well, technical solution to social problem is the one where you get a social system running, come back in 30 years, the expected output is still present, even if perhaps diminished
mircea_popescu: at least this fellow i won't have to persuade about the benefits of you know, getting the fuck out of the us.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think ddosers live on six feet.
mircea_popescu: heh howssat ?

asciilifeform: almost certainly because the compatibility was a bold-faced lie, and the cpu 'frequency scaling' thing doesn't work.
asciilifeform: (explicitly admitted to in the docs, but somehow 'this doesn't matter')
BingoBoingo: Is the heatsink appropriately copper colored or is it laminated with tar?

asciilifeform: but yes, i use it.
asciilifeform: its a motherfucking laptop.
mircea_popescu: ah right
asciilifeform: and i own an ir thermometer.
asciilifeform: and fucking hate idiots.
mircea_popescu: maybe i'm thick, but...
asciilifeform: the original card heats, yes. new - no.
asciilifeform: plus there is apparently no remnant of doubt that coreboot (aka linuxbios) does not properly handle the variable cpu clock thing, nor the fan controller
asciilifeform: and people just live with this.
asciilifeform: phun phakt, the x60's original bios has 'computrace' infection, though this is mentioned nowhere in the docs, nor in the original 'bios setup' (normally, they do.)
phf: most of the time i spent setting up linux on macbook pro was tracing and eliminating overheating problems
asciilifeform: eliminated how ?
phf: cargoculting /proc and disabling almost everything. on mbp issue is mostly with discrete ATI card
asciilifeform: 'almost everything' being, e.g., what ?
mircea_popescu: what's cargoculting ?
phf: ati card, bus that it sits on, wifi, sd card slot, firewire slot, hdmi, bus that those sit on
asciilifeform: phf: what is even the point? why not throw whole thing in the trash ?
asciilifeform: what is the use of the box without these parts ?
phf: manually forcing cpu to run in save as much battery mode
asciilifeform: go and gentoo on that.
asciilifeform: what rubbish.
phf: well, that's why i'm back on mac os x in defeat
phf: i gave up because integrated intel card and ati card combination required some fancy grub PEEK/POKE combination, and i didn't want to do grub
asciilifeform: i would have said 'there is a less atrocious machine, the legendary x60' but now i WON'T ...
phf: oddly enough doing that same PEEK/POKE after the linux framebuffer kicked in would blankscreen the machine.
asciilifeform: dual gpu boxes will never work, don't even bother.
phf: i'd probably persevere but it was interfering with my work, only so much you can do with cli emacs, without a proper browser
phf: mircea_popescu: extreme case of "tom knight and the lisp machine", doing things with no understanding hoping to produce desired effect
asciilifeform: at some point (not any time soon, i've elementarily no time) i will replace the thermal paste in the x60 with industrial diamond
asciilifeform: it often helps.
asciilifeform: but srsly wtf.
phf: i have a borrowed carbon x1 that i'm hoping to make use of. guy was running ubuntu on it, and clean slackware install at the very least doesn't exhibit particularly aberrant behaviors
phf: but the whole exercise feels a bit hair shirt
asciilifeform: i draw the line at 'randomly crashes during compiles'
asciilifeform: this is not tolerable.
phf: maybe i can get away with running 10.9 for the next five years at which point b-a will have its own scheme-81 clean room, yeah?
asciilifeform: woah that thing runs at 80c.
asciilifeform: (at 50% cpu utilization)
phf: well, yeah, all those hoops i jumped through, compiling anything non-trivial would kick in fans at 60000
asciilifeform: at least your fans ~work~
phf: ahaha
phf: i see
asciilifeform: libreboot just sort of runs it at mid-rpm at all times.
asciilifeform: and hopes for the best.
asciilifeform: this immediately tells me something about the authors
asciilifeform: namely, that they do not actually use linux (i.e. gentoo) on their boxes
asciilifeform: or the idiocy would have become immediately apparent
asciilifeform: as it dies in the first 20 min. of setup, during the very first compiles
