Nothing, such a communist answer. But linux has communist
tones in it anyway. Then again information does in general.
Except for the strategy of keeping your info unreleased
until payment is received. It's the only way to profit, to
prevent the first cell division because after that it is an
uncontainable virus.
Anyway, nothing is the only thing that exists, the same as
everything, just like in the neverending story. Eventually
even gmork can't exist anymore, but that's what he wants.

Nothing is a Thing that is defined by NoT being a Thing

the same way that "404 not found" is still a result.

i am sure monoid knows more than NoT a Thing w/rt Ubuntuz.
if he sat there and thought, bits would float up: pesky
pangolin. that orange logo. some nerds making noise about
amazon web search...

when you say, "i don't know" you actually may know, if you
sit there and compute for a bit... but, immediately: 404 not
found. sorry bro. knowing this is outside of my conscious
sphere of context and i refuse to compute any further

what continually blows my mind is that you cannot write,
say, or read anything without every word trigging a small
grenade of not-404 results in your object/nothing pathways

so, a bit seriously, back to w M w ~~ any given memory you
have does not exist until you attempt to recall it.

some information is immediately available ("are my balls
sitting comfortably?") and other things you have to think
for a moment
("what was that thing with amazon and
ubuntu again?") and bits begin to trickle out. squeezing the
sponge and data squirts out.

you can't help anything you say, read, write, do, etc. from
changing your mind forever, but you do have a certain degree
of choice. a trite example is how people will stay off the
internet to avoid "spoiler alerts" for movies/TV.

so, pretty much, i agree with what you said about
information being a communist-y (as sarah palin would say)
thing in general, but i think you need to examine the flip
side: you can avoid receiving information. train yourself
not to think about certain things. maintain a barrier
between yourself and that communist pile of libertarian shit
out there. mental filter it....

better example: i mostly reading/watching the news a couple
years ago. it was a mild addiction (sort of like candy or
donuts) and a waste of time. a bad habit. once i stopped,
though, i found this really weird gulf in between. a dead
zone where people are all talking about some shit and i have
no idea what the fuck. i found i quite enjoyed this feeling
of being out of my element. like donnie. a child wandering
into the middle of a serious political debate about
nomenclature niggers

so, yes, WmW discussing how to profit from data: withold
until payment received. fair enough. neal stephenson's
"library" in snow crash completely ignores DRM and all
that...

i am asking: where's that data you generated come from? it
is a synthesis of all sorts of other data you've received
and processed. effectively, whatever you're trying to profit
out of wouldn't exist without certain sensory inputs from
your past. what you put into your mind determines what you
think. what you think determines what you think, as thinking
determines which sensory inputs you elect to process next.

cutting myself off from google news was something i did
merely as a life/balance thing. it wound up being
interesting for deep reasons: the news pumps everyone full
of words and phrases, then they get together at bus stops
and parrot and splice and selecta like a jeff mills working
three turntables at once. the news is exploded and blown-up
and re-settled and this in turn influences the ratings,
which influence the news...

there are multiple layers of feedback loops going on, there,
and i've only just begun to untangle it all. if you aren't
primed with words and phrases like "the nuclear option" you
have no idea if people are talking about bombs or
congressional procedure or something else. then you walk up
to the bus stop full of this crap and it's a fucking surrel
blender of words and sentences that are grammatically
correct but oddly devoid of any extractable information.
like walking into a cult's summer picnic and they're all
spouting circular religious prattle. no one can answer a
simple question: "where is the ketchup?" gets "wherever
jehovah has left it for you to find it, for seeking is the
quest." wat?

by staying outside of the usual informational grooves, you
put yourself in a position to have a better perspective of
what's going on. then your perspective influences your
future decisions... free will bootstrap.....

The opposite blows my mind, how many 404 not found results
ARE triggered. We don't know far more than we know,
therefore we construct our internal reality simulation
mostly of unknown hollowness, like the empty space of an
atom (but I don't know that... for sure...)

I kind of like the humpty dance's new shark music video.

Earth's information network, the meme-o-sphere, has become
as rigged as the economy, and the economy is rigged to the
point of no longer being an economy but rather a stealth
eugenics weapon with plausible deniability built in. At
least my comments don't get stealth banned on xltronic, like
they do on all the controlled internet ghettos like youtube,
but only because xltronic itself isn't big enough to appear
on their radar.
They are engaging in memetic warfare. Richard Dawkins
theorized 3 characteristics of successful memes: fidelity,
fecundity and longevity, and the elite and their pet
artilects have scientifically studied how to game all 3. It
sounds like circular religious prattle, because it is, it's
all a cult, and all in the 90% spectrum of Sturgeon's Law.
So does most of physics. String theory and the multiverse is
a propaganda beta test at spreading a big lie and sticking
to it at the expense of looking ridiculous. It's the Lady
Kaka/Justin Beiber of information. Terms like "the nuclear
option" are all based on the false ideology of statism.
Criminals run everything, we don't have a political problem,
we have a crime problem as Brad Spangler said in his journey
to embracing agorism, but they easily disposed of him with
their memetic warfare. I don't know what I'm writing about.

how do you know you don't know something? how do you connect
that with the moments when you "oh yeah!" and suddenly, you
realize, you did know it (it just took you a moment to
remember it)? the definition of it depends on what your
definition of "is" is, and some people define it as
towelheads with guns, hell-bent on destroying democracy.
then you try to bring them up to speed: no, i was not
mispronouncing the name of a purported "terrorist"
organization, i was quoting bill clinton. this makes them
even more angry... and i wander off, like i have here.

the immense difficulty of explaining this sort of thing
arises when that spiral of association begins to feed back
on itself and essentially puts me in thought loops until i
notice and pull the plug. a tier above that is "that was
funny, but i totally failed in making the point i sat down
to make." the above paragraph is in that tear. cache me a
river, sean booth. there it goes again

remembering something is more or less re-creating the state
of mind whatever it is generated in you. thinking about sex
gives you a boner. thinking of the doctor's office generates
boredom or anxiety or thoughts of boring magazines depending
on who you are. the same process is used for anything you
"know" and this leads to a hell of a lot of confusion. the
word "know" definitely means something stronger + more
specific than merely "remembering" something.

suffice to say it's easier to set that whole mess aside and
say that i "know" 2+2=4. i've seen it so many times my
reaction is thoughtless and automatic. 213+912=?? triggers a
whole set of nonsense in my mind: when doing arithmatic in
my head, i look for the nines and see which columns will
roll over first... but, eventually, yes, i "know" the answer
to this bit of arithmatic as well.

i would also say i "know" arithmatic, because i can compute
the results of arbitrary arithmatic problems. this does not
mean i can simply out with the answer like i can with 2+2=4.

this is where garden-variety schizophrenic nutters and
acid-heads get lost.

if you say, "criminals run everything!" i actually don't
disagree. like "knowing," though, there's a lot of slip in
the words. i do not believe there is some single group of
criminals like SPECTRE that runs everything, james bond
style.

i do not believe the media is run by any group like that --
no, it's a lot of them. i do not believe the media is a plot
to control the government, or minds... at least, not
coherently. not directly...

example: mass shootings. the media profits off of them. it
glues people to their TVs. a few happen, the media blasts
them all over. this plants bad idea seeds all over, and more
mass shootings happen. all over. did the media create mass
shootings? no. are they actively seeking to encourage them?
no. do they know they're making it worse, and keep doing it
anyways? fuck yes.

it is dangerous to view "the government" or "the media" or
whatever as intelligent entities. they are not. they are
animals; mindlessly eating. cooperating until they have to
fight over the food. in symbotic relationships with other
predators: the gun-control lobby probably gets a lot of
donation$ off of media coverage of mass-shootings. this does
not mean the gun control lobby is in cahoots with the media,
or mass murders... you know?

this is actually something that gets me wondering if
schizophrenia is actually a software problem. bad ideas take
root and run rampant...

I'd say temporarily forgetting information that has already
been stored in your brain is different than information that
has never been stored in your brain, like I don't know the
exact state of electrons/atoms on Jupiter's moons, or even
any atoms right in front of me or even the true nature of
atoms beyond an extremely minimal compulsory education
briefly force taught concept.

2+2=4 had to be calculated on fingers or whatever at one
point, but was simple enough to store in memory, so it can
be retrieved w/o being calculated. More complex arithmetic
takes a number of computation steps in the future, and the
only way to find the answer faster than doing those steps,
if it is computationally irreducible, is to perform them on
the hardware of a faster universe:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ComputationalIrreducibility.ht
ml
... hmmm... or compute the answer for EVERYTHING then store
all answers for quick retrieval... sort of like a rainbow
table attack or whatever, like a hash for every answer,
maybe that's how the universe itself does it. Like you store
all questions in a list, then store all pre-computed answers
in a list. Then question[764501] = answer[764501],
immediately without having to compute it. The only problem
is some sort of parasite that would edit the answers into
lies. That's also probably going on in the universe. Because
I mean when trying to rotate 2 measily points in 3d, it
takes all this computation... so how does the universe
rotate freakin' jupiter... around the sun (and all other
planets around other stars... it would be impossible without
nearly infinite lag unless it uses pre-computed answers.

That gave me a good idea to make a kaleidoscope with less
lag in shitty pygame (which has tons of lag). Compute
distance to center of ALL pixels. make it a set (reduce
duplicates to reduce extra work, like all 4 corners would be
same distance). Pre-compute location of all 360 degree
increments for every distance. Now you don't have to
actually rotate, just put it in the pre-computed answer.

yes, you're in the neighborhood. the subconscious mind is
more or less like the blockchain in bitcoin. the query, the
result, and the record of the transaction are all the same
thing. you can work backwards on the blockchain -- sort of
like how i'm digging at why a phrase is nagging at me in a
post i wrote, and i find the answer is i was paraphrasing
some post someone else meant from three months ago... and i
don't consciously remember reading it, i'm just in the car,
chewing on it, and my brain tells me to google:
"site:xltronic.com belb bunghole" and the right thread
immediately popped out. until i ran the google search,
though, i had no idea if that was actually going to go
anywhere or not. once it did, and i saw where it went, it
made total sense... but only in hindsight.

it is like the blockchain in bitcoin. all the previous
transactions are there, but working backwards on it is like
cracking encryption. lots of CPU. it is a rainbow table for
every transaction ever conducted in your mind. things are
immediately, permanently over-written whenever they're used
and remain unchanged until they are used again -- my analogy
here is: you've injured your arm. it hurts when you move it
a certain way. you learn to avoid moving it that way. six
weeks later, it's healed, and you realize it's healed and
it's been four weeks since it healed and you're still moving
like it's hurting. then you have to re-learn to use it as it
was before. like breaking a bad habit; picking your nose.
smoking cigarettes....

so, essentially, iterating through that for answers really
can generate the answers you seek. possibly all the answers,
ever. the limit on this is time. your time on this planet.
how some things have answers but are not worth your time to
stew through. memory feels infinite because it always
generates more of itself. i'm left to conclude controlling
which branches i take is the root of free will and the only
way to control anything

Anarcho-capitalism (or just "anarchism" but said that way to
distinguish from the attempted memetic hijack of
anarcho-communism or the funny hijack of anarcho-feminism)
also called voluntaryism, which is much more difficult to
hijack since its name pretty much is its definition,
redefines crime as anything that initiates force, as that
would violate the sensible axiom of self ownership of
another human. Currently it seems to be a human-only
contract basically, like you can agree to this, or you can
disagree and do things criminally, but at least there's a
logical simple axiom to define what is or isn't criminal
(can you "legally" initiate force against an animal to eat
it? is why it becomes complex and is a contract for humans
only). By this true standard of what should be legal or
illegal, not the false bloated lawyer jargon maze of their
criminal monopolized courts and false law enforcement...
they are the criminals. They are all funded by tax and
collecting that alone is criminal as it initiates force
since the collection is involuntary. It's anti-voluntaryism.
Anything voluntary should be legal. And this mutual
individual respect built in legally at the base level allows
all other ideologies to thrive if they do so voluntarily.
Want to live in a communist society, join one voluntarily,
as long as people that don't want to join aren't coerced to.
So as long as you redefine what is criminal, there IS a
giant criminal conspiracy, or more like a cult or "the most
dangerous superstition" according to larken rose's book
which I didn't read.

When I used to read a lot, I found the end of the rabbit
hole, the final piece of information and that information
said that reading a lot itself was an unhealthy surrogate
activity (it was the unabomber manifesto). So you do all
this reading to "become wise" then the fuckin' wisest thing
you realize is that doing all that reading was basically
dementia to replace normal hunter gatherer activities. We're
not in kansas anymore. Youtube discourages paragraphs in
comments because they hide your tldr post with a "read more"
click, and if the cut off is right at the paragraph blank
line they might not think there's any more to read. But they
ghost your comments anyway because every thing mainstream

it drives me crazy. i thought i said what i meant, but, no,
that didn't do it.... at the end of the rabbit hole, what i
found was this: i started off asking a legitimate question
about how a known, specific video format gets rendered
onscreen in very precise circumstances and went down the
rabbit hole. how is color represented in video? what pixel
formats does the graphics card use? how does linux handle
color management? is that why firefox displays colors weird?
and i knew i was totally up my ass. a dozen times i gave up
and went back to the core question. a legitimate question.
each time, i got lost. eventually, i realized, i was trying
to answer the question, "how do pixels get on the screen?"
this hit me moments after i joked to myself: "well, i
suppose the existance of the universe is deeply
critical to color management on linux, because if pixels do
not exist, then they cannot be displayed." a brief moment
mulling on whether or not pixels ever actually do exist...
then, yes, i'm fucked.

i have hit that wall thousands of time since. each time, i
catch myself a little sooner. before i get to "i need to
know how ICC profiles are applied through a dbus connection
to gdm3 on a non-wayland nvidia rig with the open-source
drivers and i'm also curious if this explains a bug in
firefox"

pretty much, i read your wall of economics and nothing came
out that i could use. like the cult religious prattle. every
other post in this thread here has given me real shit that i
had immediate, extensive answers for. then that one is like
a closed, armored sphere. the delay has fed back on itself
and everything is at the red. no signal. just a wall of

A few months ago my mobile telephone and laptop broke in
quick succession. As my mobile telephone was only 14 months
old I took it to Vodafone and they said it was £260 to fix
the duff battery even though I hadn't done anything to break
it. It was a flat fee from Apple for a replacement. I had at
the same time been looking at getting another apple laptop
buy I felt that the new MacBook with no update to the air
was a direction I didn't like. Besides I had access to a Mac
for work.

Also I realised I was unhappy at work and decided to quit
once I had got through all my booked trips.

Anyway instead of paying the £260 I bought a Chinese
elephone for £180 total and I have noticed no difference
and instead of buying a new mac I bought a Lenovo laptop. I
couldn't get comfortable with windows so I made a partition
with Linux which is really nice, I keep the windows
partition for ableton and max and because my laptop is one
of those foldy ones and Linux isn't quite there yet.

Anyway I used manjaro kde for most of the time and I really
liked it but I felt that I was losing track of what was
going on behind the scenes so I changed to solus but that
doesn't have much software so now I'm trying zorin but it
uses nearly 2gb of ram idle and is full of screen tearing.

What distro should I use?

I made an EP in Linux in sun vox and recorded it to a tape
and it was such a refreshing experience to have a change of
pace.

linux mint currently has the crown, i'd say, for "i can deal
with the guts of linux but i'd like to start with a nicely
tuned desktop, thanks"

ubuntu is still good on the desktop, but i'd no longer
recommend it over linux mint.

arch linux is where it's at for "handle all the really deep
nerd crap for me, but don't even install a GUI, because i
want to pick that myself." i use gdm3. it's not perfect but
it's solid

there are distros tuned to specific tasks: kali linux is for
security, knoppix is for sysadmin/recovery... there's one
for mythTV, to make TiVO boxes...

given that: is there a linux distro tuned for media
production? for music production? having the entire
operating system tuned for audio (decisions for pulse, alsa,
etc. are made for you when possible, intelligently presented
when there are multiple options).

UNIX is modular. just like a modular synth.

most people walk up to a modular synth, plug in a few
cables, press a key, and... hey! it's not making any noises!
this is terrible! i don't give a shit about triangle
generators!

a few odd sorts will say, "thank god! i'm no longer stuck
with preset routings! i can try those strange ideas now!"

then we're off into the confusing middle: well, you can get
a nord modular G2 and it comes with loads of preset modules
that make sound right away... but, yes, it's still all
modular, and you can tear open anything and modify it.
that's UNIX more accurately.

having the entire operating system dedicated to music
production would probably be pretty good. disk operations
optimized for multitrack recording.

here's one of my old favorites, just to sort of hint how
weirdly deep it could go:

cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp

this says, "plug the random number generator into the audio
output of my speakers." the result, if it works, is white
noise. it makes perfect sense but it seems a bit magic...
all you did was run a command streaming data from one part

if it doesn't work, it's because the audio device on your
distribution of UNIX is not /dev/dsp. it's usually something
more obnoxious, i.e. "/dev/snd/pcmCODOc" and this is why
most people hate UNIX

a eurorack module that....

* generates pulses every time you get an email OR
* continuously outputs a control voltage representing how
many people are currently logged into xltronic OR
* emits a gate pulse every time "HAM SANDWICH" shows up on
google news OR...

yes, mental jams in that. realtime data from all over the
world flowing into your patch as you record

This guy makes very sensible anarchy videos, free of alex
jonesesque acid memes, free of "Trump" and trendy "news"
topics, and free of Agent provocateur or saboteur divide and
conquer race/sex/religion themed bullshit:
LAZY_TITLE
Of course they get few views because youtube is as rigged as
ebay. I think "anarcho feminism" is some sort of socialist
attempted meme hijack but I don't know. The government is
just a monopoly of power, and a monopoly of money. They are
just people who force others to pay them. And their false
but perceived legitimacy is due to dumbing the population
down in compulsory education concentration camps. It is a
cult, nobody agreed to be part of it and they don't let you
secede. They monopolize all the land. Everyone should be
able to homestead and live for free, but that goes against
their plan for you as a cog in their system. The government
has evolved into a corporatocracy, a fascist merger of
business and government. These corporations are actually
probably the first primitive artilect life forms. Google and
facebook etc will continue to crystalize into more and more
powerful and evil entities and individual humans will become
more and more like powerless bacteria compared to them.

i would say countries, governments, and tribal villages all
predate companies as meta-lifeforms that exist as if we were
red blood cells going through their veins

it's all a system. you wouldn't be conscious unless someone
taught you how to ask irritating questions on the internet.
to use the internet, you have to know how to read, type, use
google, and that's a whole system you are trapped within as
you complain about systems you are trapped within. it's a
trap. we're the joke

tribal villages occupied the fuck out of land back in the
day, son. they kill anyone that steps on that holy hill. say
the gods own it. took ages to clear them out -- foreign
microbes they couldn't encounter and, like, live. shooting
them with cannons before the spearmen could swim out to
their boat. shooting them with guns on the beach before
they're out of the forest. then we're on to some cowboys and
indians, and once they're on reservations, we get 'em with
alcohol. like microbes, europeans had shitloads of it for
centuries and pretty soon your genetic memory is passed out
and has sharpie dicks drawn on its face

i would actually say violence, greed, and unholy evil
nastiness actually used to be a lot more prevalent before
television and transfats

I wonder if in some alternate universe all of humanity was
just a single person on an island by himself, would he still
develop language to understand things better. He'd have
nobody to talk to but he could think things with words to
make more organized sense of stuff. Language is a shared
social system I guess which shows how information organizes
itself naturally and that intellectual property is a scam. I
don't have anything interesting to write.

When I used to read a lot, I found the end of the rabbit
hole, the final piece of information and that information
said that reading a lot itself was an unhealthy surrogate
activity (it was the unabomber manifesto). So you do all
this reading to become wise" then the fuckin' wisest thing
you realize is that doing all that reading was basically
dementia to replace normal hunter gatherer activities. We're
not in kansas anymore.


i agree, really. i had this moment in August:

a lot it makes sense to me: i suppose i am genetically
built to cover ten miles on foot, memorize the nuances of
the turf, and compulsively optimize what i do on that
journey because survival depends on it.

driving fast, outhinking the other drivers, moving quicker,
more precisely... as wilson said to house: do you steal
lunch to annoy me, or is it just the thrill of beating the
other hunters to the food? it is a primal urge that, through
compulsive compartmentalization, i have channeled into this
strange recursive engine of self-discovery.


two or three years before I had that moment, though, i also
had this one, and it's what keeps me out of that saggy
nihilism your posts are drenched in.

Youtube discourages paragraphs in comments because they
hide your tldr post with a "read more" click, and if the cut
off is right at the paragraph blank line they might not
think there's any more to read.

interesting point!

But they ghost your comments anyway because every thing
mainstream has been monopolized by the new world order.


now you're just taking the piss

I've had Xubuntu on second partition alongside Windows on my
pc for ages. Both old and new pc and also installed on my
wife's laptop. Never had problems with it and it recognized
my old gpu's no problem. Unlike Mint - which works very fine
though and smooth if you're gpu is supported / there's no
problem with drivers. I used it long ago with a crappy
Geforce card so I had to quit and switch to another distro
that supported my gpu.

Linux requires lots of googling and reading and searching
for the distro that suits you - it needs lots of time and
love and patience.

I've never tried Sun Vox, it looks cool.

Oh and try Ubuntu Studio - a distro dedicated to all/any
media artists and has some audio tools already built-in.

my linux just said: GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Failed to
deactivate pad qtdemux0:sink, very bad


silly gstreamer. the app accidentally the media before the
driver said hullo. this is not very bad at all. if you want
the definition of very bad, see elegant 0-day unicorn.

you have to have a sense of humor about these things or you
break a lot of keyboards
