erlehmann: this means kebab will be removed from premises

erlehmann: if you uninstall nautilus (the GNOME file manager), the majority of gnome follows suit
erlehmann: so my suggestion involves uninstalling it?
asciilifeform: straight to the furnace with ALL of it
asciilifeform: not 'majority'. ALL.
erlehmann: i have no wish to engage with gnome internals to find out HOW MUCH is uninstalled when you remove its core libraries
asciilifeform: just. don't. install. any.
erlehmann: as it would either mean reading about dependencies or installing gnome
erlehmann: both concepts i am not too fond of
asciilifeform: why is it on your box?!! to begin with
erlehmann: i read about the evince CVE

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i suspect you're right, at that. because their niggers could never go outta da house without the bling.
erlehmann: for context: nautilus == gnome files
mircea_popescu: nautilus = ubuntu default file manager.

erlehmann: sorry, but when is a suit a pantsuit?
erlehmann: when a clinton or merkel wears it?
erlehmann: we have a word for that in german – hosenanzug
erlehmann: but i don't get the difference at all
mircea_popescu: erlehmann a pantsuit denotes a certain sort of female mind -- that puts the esteem of the female herd above the esteem of randomly chosen male.
mircea_popescu: it is the opposite behaviour of what they call a slut.
mircea_popescu: the girl who would say "i can't leave with you, i'm here with my friends", just like the boy that'd vote hillary, just like anyone who reads the fake news media, just like the drones in offices who never propositioned their coworkers for sex in the elevators == pantsuits.
erlehmann: get it
mircea_popescu: basically the socialist is he who has thought about the matter, and for his sins and utterly broken head has come to the conclusion that yes indeed, the problems of individuals are to be resolved by recoursew to groups ; whereas the pantsuit is he who has never stopped to consider, but instinctually or otherwise follows this herd.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gotta ask, what exactly is an ~earned rent~
mircea_popescu: the greatest boy born every year is entitled by the fact of his greatness to eager service of a good majority of the girls similarily born. this is an earned rent -- by right of birth.
mircea_popescu: the man who, walking into a room, overpowers all present, is entitled, by right of force, to whatever he may extract.
mircea_popescu: all rents are earned but by the whiners.
asciilifeform: and the slippiest pickpocket , to all of their wallets, also ?

mircea_popescu: this flourished in a time when high born men were shockingly stupid, and she is not remembered. a litany of their names arranged by unclean hands is still, (and only by the most antiquarianly minded) reviewed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform all women will fuck on occasion. point being there's no fuck on the bill of fare, as with whores.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform see, this is the important point here : there may or may not have been a stupid cunt / sack of flesh with the label "harriette wilson" at one point or another. this is ireelevant to anything. a collection of stupidities of people in a meanwhile defunct wot has received, FOR NO REASON, and through coincidental cause, the "same" label. it is not same in any meaningful sense. this is the fate of the various harriet

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nobody has yet made a new sofa, nor will they.
mircea_popescu: the only point that makes a difference is who burns the sofas, and how they do it.
asciilifeform: how does it make a difference ?
mircea_popescu: the sofas, to be clear, are teh young women and teh young men who aspire to them. the former will graze, and in between their legs which run perl sofas constantly grow to be burned.
mircea_popescu: now -- when old women do the burning, you get a lot of choking smoke and very little fire.

asciilifeform: i dungetit, people tripped over each other's heads in the hurry to buy cameras for bedroom, toilet, etc
asciilifeform: who was it who said 'eh mirror suffices' ?
asciilifeform: dunno if today you can buy even electric mop without a camera.
mircea_popescu: ironically -- me :) but that's a different story.
mircea_popescu: it is STILL the fundamental anticultural agency.
mircea_popescu: consider though, how easily it flips on its head. mp recommends blogging, which was fashionable like cameraing was at some point, but no longer. and "you can't film everything stays the same", and "but the noise is distracting" morphs into "but i am afraid my well hidden shortcvomings which nobody can otherwise observe may be exposed" and who's teh anticultural nao.
mircea_popescu: !!up user705
deedbot: user705 voiced for 30 minutes.
user705: cool pop in here for first time and MP is here
mircea_popescu: im generally here.
user705: what be the proper way to ask questions
mircea_popescu: just ask
user705: is your view on the segwit lite that seems to be bandied about as the solution same as segwit2x which is just outright wrong?
mircea_popescu: you'll have to unwrap that into something that makes sense. say what ?
user705: the hard fork that was proposed by idiots who claimed to be the economic majority but forgot to sign their BTC balances to actually prove that is obviously a non starter
user705: but what is your view on just the segwit part?
user705: is that still considered to be a block size increase and therefore will lead to a lot of pain for many?
mircea_popescu: let's approach the easier end of this. the necessary precondition for any fork succieeding on the bitcoin network was set forth last year : http://trilema.com/2016/the-necessary-prerequisite-for-any-change-to-the-bitcoin-protocol/
mircea_popescu: no fork will succeed that does not satisfy that.
user705: hmm I read a lot of trilemma must've missed that one
user705: brb
mircea_popescu: inexplicably, as the dorks made a lot of noise about it then and have studiously pretended to have forgotten all about it ever since, as if that's how this works now.
asciilifeform reread the piece and ended up in the old luby thread, lol
mircea_popescu: not a half bad idea at that.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> very acultural world, this anglotardlandia. << AHA, not even AGRIcultural anymore
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, i have not since found a better pill, nor afaik has anyone else.
asciilifeform: i suspect that it is The Right Thing.
mircea_popescu: nor has the matter been seriously considered by actual thinkers.
mircea_popescu: just the periodic herd wank on turner's captive cow sites.
user705: I did
user705: that's why I decided to finally go to the source
mircea_popescu suspected as much
BingoBoingo: Ah, then perhaps read older Qntra too? Not much has changed since 2015. Enemies of Bitcoin simply cycling through new names as old ones burn credibility
BingoBoingo: Hence going all the way back to 2013 scammer Luke-jr
BingoBoingo: That's how many names have been burned
user705: the instinctual understanding is that hardfork is obviously bad but the way this new softfork was being sold I guess I got bamboozled a bit
mircea_popescu: kinda why the entire fake media exists in the first place.
mircea_popescu: sanity apparently doesn't hold up well to insistent stupidity.
whaack: the idea that segwit is safer because it is a "soft fork" is nonsense. during a hard fork one can vote with their coins. soft forks are a sneak attack to add a new rule on the part of the miners.
user705: stupidity has infinite hitpoints someone once said
mircea_popescu: they did.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the paradigmatic "soft fork" is "we will not mine transactions involving 1Terrorists address". permitting any other one is simply going towards this at whatever pace and from whatever distance.
mircea_popescu: all soft forks are temporary ; and WILL be unwound.
a111: Logged on 2015-12-28 18:09 mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-12-2015#1355361 << quite. all this verbiage about how "oh lalala, if miners stop enforcing X fork they will be excluded" fails to account for the fact that unlike the various PRBs, TRB does NOT actually implement any of the soft forks. so no, they won't be "excluded". nobody will notice they stopped.
mircea_popescu: !!up user705
deedbot: user705 voiced for 30 minutes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was thinking, at some point really gotta write up the luby-pow thing into a proper algo
user705: how would one mine on the correct chain or would it not be possible because of pools?
mircea_popescu: user705 you would mine then as you mine now. if you're pool mining, select a pool that isn't scamming you then , just as you would now.
mircea_popescu: the notion that 1 august bears any relevancy is entirely borne out of spending too much time on social media.
mircea_popescu: well, "social media". usg's astroturf for its own sheeple. much like you know, the notion that "embargo of russia" or "recapture of mosul -- two weeks starting in 2016", the sort of ideas with no further substance than "i really watch too much tv"
user705: unfortunately true. have to work hard to change. mining now is an unprofitable venture. but with this fork would coinbase transactions be impacted? no right? but pools would pay out from that so how would it work when it all unwinds?
mircea_popescu: i'm not sure what you're asking. if i send a bitcoin to someone, no third party can do anything to it.
mircea_popescu: do you mean, coinbase as in mining rewards ?
user705: yes
mircea_popescu: a block will still pay what it pays now.
mircea_popescu: at least afaik they've not yet built up the cheek to pretend to change that part.
user705: to the pool then on to individual miners
mircea_popescu: if you use a pool.
user705: yes
mircea_popescu: so, ample opportunity for the entrepreneurial -- start a pool that's not a scam, if all others are, or you perceive they might be.
user705: so with bigger blocks vs smaller blocks the clusterfuck will be epic
mircea_popescu: ~nothing observable will happen.
asciilifeform: nothing observable to ~people~ -- i.e. folx using trb -- yes. to redditus running gavincoin etc - thermonukokalypse
mircea_popescu: i thought wediditreddit was ~weekly eveny anyway, in their own little cesspool.
user705: how would the endgame unfold? this "soft" fork will just become a hard fork. right or how would it unwind?
whaack: It's been "the critical moment for a fork" since I've known about btc
mircea_popescu: far as i can tell, people who can't retain employment will whine about it for the next two weeks as if it were a thing, then the date will come, nothing whatsoewver will happebn, and they'll just move on to whining about some other pie in the sky
mircea_popescu: in preference of saying "i was a fucktard and i shall not be a fucktard any longer".
mircea_popescu: ie, path of least resistance.
mircea_popescu: mahahahaybe a few of them will actually manage to find a job instead of dicking around online, but it seems unlikely. who wants to employ an idle ustard and what useful could they do ?
mircea_popescu: but at any event -- i do not care what bitcoin client joe reddit "uses". he has no money in the first place ; and even if he had money he has nothing interesting to do with them. sloshing the payola back and forth from one usg pocket to another is scarcely worth wasting paper, let alone bitcoin ledger.
mircea_popescu: jane reddit may care, or at the least pretend to care what bitcoin client joe reddit uses, in obvious exchange of joe reddit pretending to care about "that one time she was almost raped".
mircea_popescu: but they, both joint and several, can't possibly influence the world.
user705: Bitmain seemed pretty serious with it's footstomping though
mircea_popescu: and not because it would be racist to try ; but because they are impotent.
mircea_popescu: user705 so ?
mircea_popescu: bitmain can either make bitcoin miners or not make bitcoin miners. this isn't evben a choice -- for as long as they can they'll make, and once they become irrelevant they won't make. whether they also whine with it or not... who cares.
user705: true but they certainly can try to cut off the nose to spite the face so to speak
mircea_popescu: so let them. if it works we needed a new bitcoin anyway.
mircea_popescu: and if it doesn't work, it'll just be case #517 or whatever the count is at of self important ustard dorks.
mircea_popescu: how's "the toomim brothers" doing these days ?
mircea_popescu: still wheelin' an' dealin' teh blockchain seas ?
mircea_popescu: next step on ethereum's fascinating journey being "the one weird trick hacker used to make 74 trillion"
asciilifeform: also pgp never existed, apparently
asciilifeform: nor is there such a thing as a signature
asciilifeform: in fact we are in a everettiverse where nobody invented publickey
mircea_popescu: outbrain eagerly awaits the brainchild of mit, or, to quote, "She does stink. And she should quit. But I don't want it to be because of me. It should be the traditional route. Years of rejection and failure until she's spit out the bottom of the porn industry."
asciilifeform: best part : 'In the official Coindash Slack channel, the app's developers wrote that all investors, even if they sent funds to the phony address, will receive tokens. "All CoinDash investors will get their tokens," the developers wrote in Slack. "We are working to solve the situation."'

badD00d: right, and I respect that. I guess I am wondering when you think the majority of hashing power will start agreeing on non-legit shit blocks?
badD00d: like at some point, the shitty masses are going to start consuming their fake shitty blocks.
mircea_popescu: they're consuming teh fiat dollars as it is, doesn't seem to have much impact on anything.
badD00d: I am wondering if you have an estimation as to when this will be and as a second questions (if TRB nodes will be the ONLY non-shit accepting nodes, or if you think there are other groups of people running nodes that will side with your nodes and continue rejecting shit
mircea_popescu: your question is ill posed. if tomorrow a large enough collection of idiots decides to call making hooky "bitcoin", this will be great and good and entirely uninteresting for bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: if the us fed starts printing "one hundred bitcoin" bills instead of the current one hundred dollar bills, this'll also do ~nothing as far as nayone is concerned.
mircea_popescu: the notion that bitcoin can somehow by stolen by name is so ridoinculous as to betray its ustardian origins. bitcoin is not a name.
BingoBoingo: badD00d: TRB now WILL accept segwit blocks, but it will not parse the segwit'd portion as anything other than "anyone can spend"

mircea_popescu: they get scraped off, new sets come on, it's the fate of ship on open seas.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-13#1683139 ie "the bitcoin banking cartel" very much apropos.
