And did he ever even get to that part about 'helmet safety' and that the guy in the photo wasn't wearing one?
Oh, no, yet another topic for the echo factory to pretend that people care about and repeat over and over.
this is a lot more fun than wading in through the chan spam.

But there are no crocuses like in years past at this time. Usually at the beginning of March I first find crocuses in my yard.
How about some new fiction?
He told me "Isn't it better to wait through it?" I was glad that I took his observations to mind and decided, after a time, that the sudden movement that I had imagined would be necessary wasn't going to help me or anyone else. If the bridge or the town or the tower have problems that can't be solved we make a new bridge, we gather up the people of the town and reconstitute it. We can build a new tower if the old one crashes.
He told me to wait till it was all through, that it would work out better if there were no sudden movements, no drastic decisions, no betting on total failure of everyone around you.
If you bet on the total failure of all around you: society, the rule of law, the love between nations; then you can never win that bet. If it happens as you describe in your business plan (that you have written in your mind) that everything around is failure then . . . you can't win that. Wish for better things. Plan for better things. If everything you plan is for failure than the only success that you will have is failure. Hard to understand?
The failure of others is never successful business. Nor is it good government. Other people having problems and being driven into poverty is never good for any one else. If they think that it is, see how far down they have fallen, how much they fail with that bad attitude.
Anyone who thinks that making money off of driving others into ruin is good business is already a failure, no matter what the business does, how much money it makes.
I'm not talking about Socialists. Because the idea of that is that no one knows anything better than the ones who were selected as the 'best and the brightest' by arbitrary assertion of institutional, and usually non-democratic, authority. And not for the well-being of the public but for the well being of the institution (frag).
A public institute must be tasked with the well being of some aspect other than itself or else it has no function other than self-preservation. That state that is set up as a monolith with no other form of anything, no innocents to protect, no preserve from which they stand aside and let the world be . . . any institute that behaves as if they are the all-and-only . . . an institute that actually disdains the public, an institute that is used as a political brick to bash in opponents . . . such institutes are in dire need of either disbandment or reform if they would ever even be able to fall that far, as if people are so dark as to allow it. Isn't the 'rotten to the core' anything (any institution) just a worst case fiction of a creative and dramatically inspired mind?
Any who that go-on-about how such-and-such governmental agency ought to be reformed or done away with must understand that all agencies are designed for a real function in the first place. That a previously considered valid (and most probably still is) function is subverted for the good of the few over the many by some that does not negate the general need for whatever the organization's function was supposed to be. For example if we were to abolish the [some federal agency] then who would [their actual useful function]. (yes I do not want to draw anyone's ire.)
And if we were to abolish the [other fed agency], then who would [their actual function]?
And so those who go on about how [some federal agency] and [other fed agency] are abusing their power . . . and blah blah blah. what is it really? What would it be called really if the prosecutors were actually allowed to do their jobs? What would they call the things that are going on that some see as illegal and immoral: the politicization of these agencies so critical to the functioning of the bureaucracy? These are necessary parts of our system that even if they were abolished they would just pop right back up in a different form with all the same people doing most of the same jobs and . . . what else would anyone have happen?
It is wrong for people to criminalize gun owners with the single stroke of their magic pen on a piece of paper. Equally wrong is to demonize all of the members of a bureaucracy because of the (alleged) criminal acts of a few.
Do I know of any such acts? I am not tasked to come up with such a list. Also I understand that the CYA aspect comes into play. No one wants a federal bureaucrat to get snared up into some 'good-guy-governance' dragnet and then have to hear about it in the press for weeks and months and years and decades and stab in the back a good friend who did good by everyone . . .
But isn't there a level of federal corruption were even cowed bureaucrats and lower level functionaries start to say 'enough is enough' and then resign their offices? The facts of having to pay bills often means that people don't do that. They have very strong rights and strong support from fully unionized shops and a longevity, if they want it, that exceeds that of elected officials, especially a corrupted [some branch of government], if that is what is really going on here.
And if there were sad dealings of criminal nature, it would be the dealings of the few. It would never be that everyone knew and no one cared and they all just laughed about it. Secret Cinema? That is just a paranoid movie. Real governments are never really like that. Nothing is ever as corrupt as it can be imagined.
So if there were bad people doing bad things it would be kept from the golfers and world-traveler wind-surf set of big-marble chess piece administration. The king and the queen and the bishop, the generals and the stage puppet clowns would all be kept from the real story. They would be untouchable.
And even if there were evidence, after, when the new party of whoevers is in power, most of the time in America, in the West, these things are just swept up into the dust bin of history. Give the old guy some important place to build a museum and let him leave us now, in peace. The good-willed bureaucrat stuck within a bad period of history will wait it out, play the game, try to maintain the order by being one of the bricks that won't crack, won't let the wall fall down.
The whole crop of elected people can be scoundrels and thieves and those bricks will not crack beneath the weight of the corruption. The bureaucrat is a hardy creature with a strong back. The carpet bagger? He can pull his magic lamp-stand from his Mary-Poppins bag, and build a carousel of lies and make the media ride it, he can send himself (herself and her kids and mom) on trips that the press can not tag along on . . . and . . . it's all paid for because it is 'diplomacy'. The perks of being . . . a straw with full suction.
The world will not crumble. The order will not collapse. Most people in government are not criminal at heart. Most times that they help you they help you well. We are not 'sheeple'. The whole world isn't collapsing. There is no ruling class. There are no 'banksters', they are a fiction like 'James Bond'.
I'm always in need of a good editor! Know anyone?

Praise The Lord for insight given!
as an example . . . I have tried to do some introspective things as I come into awareness of my own flaws, and recognize the way I act and correct my self and make a better narrative for myself and for others.
you raise me up from far away when a memory of you lifts me!
Somethings never change nothing need stay the same ah, but on a website the constant change is kind-of the point . . .
change without continuity and tradition is often very hard to manage for those thrust into it. And thus the frame of things gives a place for the change to happen. If you violate that idea then you are coming up with something completely different and maybe no one will want to see your new idea, or use your great, new venue, because it's too far out, and very far away from what they currently care about. It's a nether or a meta and it's merely for a lark? Or does it become the next big thing? As fun as graphics are (CGI) and animation, and making a world to fly around in (like minetest, which is easy when you learn how) ultimately such a meta is a hollow place. It's a distraction during the season of gaming. It allows one to brush up on geometry and math, and architectural design, it gives people training in computer languages, it allows someone to make some graphical ideas, and pass a few hours of time every few days or so . . .
To live within such a realm really isn't possible.

After 40 different versions what can one say about it anymore? It's installed in all my systems, a day earlier. There are a few minor issues, but no show stoppers.

Ya, I decided to load Fedora Core 38 Beta about a month ago, and this machine kept shutting down . . . I think I finally fixed it. Tomorrow is the big release day for the Fedora Core 38. My production workstation is still running FC37. I don't know if I'll jump right on it right away. . .
my server is still resetting, or maybe I have it fixed. I decided to just remove plasma-desktop, as I don't use it. The journals were giving all kinds of errors with that, and I think that might have been the issue, conflicting with the gdm that I do use. Worst case I'd just go to runlevel 3 but, as I said in another column, I don't really even know if anyone views these pages anyway.
My production box would upgrade but the dnf says it would downgrade grum and associated tools, and that's never a good thing to do. I'm just not going to do it! anyway I'll check tomorrow when the offical release is and probably do it then. If I'm in the mood.
So now I've run every version of Fedora serving this website! that's a long time.
April 17, 2023 8:28 PM ESThere is from a year ago:
It took some time to figure out how to defeat the new screensaver built in, but I was able to. It's the biggest downside to the new Gnome.
I set the keybindings to something I don't use, and then put in a custom keybinding to use the old tool.
There are other minor things that annoy too, like the restoration of a deleted file that I always have to delete again on every FC core upgrade. The file is name camera-shutte.oga. It's in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo

At the precipice of coding.
a mountain trail often has a place with a great view and a perilous fall if you wonder just a bit too far to one side of the trail. It's called a precipice. It's not a scary place. It's a safe place that one passes through.
OK, so I've done an update to FC34.
the biggest issue was . . . . drum roll . . .a lock up of gnome.
and if i clicked on the activities button I would need to reload (log out log back in).
I was able to run stuff without that, and thus determined a list of files that might need to be removed. I did as full reinstall of gnome as such:
dnf reinstall gnome
then I did a
dnf list installed |grep fc33
which gave me a list of files to consider uninstalling.
from that I got the following:
first odd issue:
sudo was not at first working! I had to install it! I kept the configuration file so I have my preferences still set up.
dnf install sudo dnf reinstall gnome-* dnf reinstall kde* dnf reinstall NetworkManager* dnf remove gnome-screensaver dnf remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-20.04.0-2.fc33.noarch dnf remove xorg-x11-xkb-extras-7.7-33.fc33.x86_64 dnf remove compat-openssl10-1:1.0.2o-11.fc33.x86_64 dnf remove mozjs60-60.9.0-7.fc33.x86_64
there are still some fc33 packages, (I also looked for fc32 packages, anything older that was gnome)
sudo dnf list installed |grep fc33 biber.noarch 2.14-4.fc33 @fedora gamin.x86_64 0.1.10-37.fc33 @fedora libgta.x86_64 1.0.9-5.fc33 @fedora
if removing a package also removed large numbers of other packages, I left it. For each of the few that I did remove, I always would make sure by reading what would happen before agreeing to the transaction.
now the gnome-shell is working and it doesn't lock up. So which of the packages that I removed made the difference? I am not sure.
and so after just a few short hours of install, I've got my system working in away that seems normal.
the new gnome shell moves the icons to the bottom of the screen.
I find gnome-shell to be annoyingly poppy at times. I tend to do things rapidly, and all the popping can be nauseating.
It is helpful to learn how to use dnf. I've found that the reverse history stuff works as long as you haven't made too many changes. It's a dicey, though, to try and go back to an older revision but I did it ONCE. Next time it didn't work out so well. AT that point it was installing dnf and yum from rpms.
and I had success. It's the kind of thing that when you know how to do it . . .
but there was one other trick that I needed and it was a scary way to reset a password and I did discover how to do it. I'm not sharing that one (barely remember) it's like these things exist in a nether, and it's best to . . . let the knowledge fade unless you need it. It's too scary to dwell in that space.
anyway, gnome shell is working. It's not flighty and hanging up. And all it took was to remove the old packages of gnome that might conflict with it. And now I can continue with my review.
