punkman: they don't know whether it's gonna be deflationary or not
punkman: even better
thimbronion: In "best USA" news a homeless person has begun an encampment on someone's lawn across the street from my place. Overpasses must be getting crowded.

thestringpuller: shinohai: cryptopunks is so weird. BAYC is a lot like early reddit or early internet communities in general (very wholesome) but don't think you need NFT for that.
thestringpuller: thimbronion: you live in Bay Area or the city of angels?
thimbronion: Sacramento
thestringpuller: Dang Sacremento is turning into a dystopian techno-hell too?
shinohai: thestringpuller: You are into the NFT/mETHereum thing?
thimbronion: thestringpuller: AFAICS homeless problem is statewide, in all major cities.
thimbronion: I'm not sure what the final solution will be.
thimbronion: I'm sure I'll be sent to workcamps before they are.
thestringpuller: shinohai: i follow it to see how cringe the eth maxi's can get
thestringpuller: kinda ridiculous they are more idealistic about vaporware than early bitcoin scammers (anyone remember D3-Diablo who was going to make a 100% renewable mining datacenter circa 2012?)
shinohai: This was hilarious (on the Binance ETH clone): https://rekt.news/levyathan-rekt/
thestringpuller: the cryptopunks bubble reminds me of that Bitcoin Gem ponzi thing
thestringpuller: musical chairs - round and round they go, who will hold the bag? no one knows.
thimbronion: Wow. Sac police actually still seem to enforce some property rights.
thimbronion: Can't evict someone from your rental property, but you can evict someone from your lawn.

asciilifeform: grrr
asciilifeform: summary : supposedly 'systemd-free' variant of current-day gentoo nevertheless littered with supposedly-neutered pieces of actual systemd. the 'maintainers' (saboteurs. but they call themselves..) slowly expand'em into reinstatement of systemd, 'boil frog'-style
asciilifeform: forum thrd re subj in case anyone gives a shit.
asciilifeform: 'Since there are holdouts not wanting a systemd only distro, he's decided to slowly destroy it by making it look like the warmed over coprophilic pile called systemd.'
