signpost: looks like it's still p00ting out GETDATA requests
signpost: nice time for a nuclear-resistant chat protocol eh?
verisimilitude: Yes, we could chat about how our skin is melting off, say.
verisimilitude: Joking aside, is anyone here even near Russia?
signpost: verisimilitude: hey man, I'll toast the end with y'all.
signpost: doubt it's likely to get that far.
verisimilitude: Yes, thanks to brave people like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30493948
verisimilitude: The ``tech companies'' need to interfere in geopolitics, for democracy's sake.
signpost: hoping these arrogant fuckers at least experience a little educative hunger.
verisimilitude: I don't think that would work anymore.
verisimilitude: ``This is just like when Harry Potter lived in the woods you guys!''
signpost: I wouldn't expect that fantasy to impact reality gently.
signpost: what'd it take in 2020, a month or two of unemployment before riots?
verisimilitude: Weren't those negro riots?
verisimilitude: Yes; they'll riot whenever the TV commands them, signpost.
vex: got a tranciever wrapped in lead somewhere signpost?
vex: I'll prolly get texas if shit goes quiet
signpost: verisimilitude: looked to be mostly idle white kids to me.
signpost: vex: nah, if shit gets that bad there's not much left to do.
signpost: I probably wont be in Texas much longer. I've just been waiting on a real estate implosion to relocate.
signpost sniffs, smells capitulation.
mats: do you think that's likely? housing supply is tight all over
mats: and probably will be for years
mats: low interest rates pulled forward a lot of buying
verisimilitude: Say, asciilifeform, I'm going to try my different approach to UDP in Ada again, modelling the grotesque C structs with Ada to avoid C as much as feasible. This will, unfortunately, break when the underlying definitions change across UNIXen, but this is acceptable to me.
vex: it's not going straight to 30% tho is it mats?
signpost: mats: my sense is that a recession will cause a lot of downsizing.
signpost: where I'm looking there aren't a lot of buyers either.
verisimilitude: That requires owning things to downsize.
vex: i guess a couple of pips might hurt ppl
verisimilitude: We know the people who own the most things will be fine.
vex: what's the bet alf paid cash
vex: don't want a lien on the dead trees & hardware storage
vex: thimbronion, did you solve for pest dupes?

verisimilitude: The word being sought is ``imageboard''.
verisimilitude: I already help run one, vex.
vex: ah, which is that?
verisimilitude: It's Lainchan.
verisimilitude: Read the rules before posting.
verisimilitude: To inform those here, I loathe the Japanese nature of most imageboards, and suppress it.
vex: chan implicitly describes those which are kawaii desu ne?
verisimilitude: Yes, but it also abbreviates ``channel''.
vex: yeah, no
verisimilitude: Yeah, yes.
vex: ok
vex: it obiously does, as you just described.
vex: .jp is such a vast language, I feel like it'd be respectuful to use some other terminology to copy their work again

thimbronion: vex solved afaict
vex: nice work
