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.

No one who contacts me about work seems to provide any serious prospects, like they are just hazing me..
The realization that much of what you find on line is just bots messing with people and trying to train them to be ineffective at debate by making them revert to insults, putdowns, and sub-human behavior makes social media seem to be a wasteland. It is best to not participate in that.

Vote Once One Vote here is a fresh link, a new path to some older content:
Seasons change month to month and sometimes we get back to what we left to the side.
well most news was about the raid a few weeks ago, I read up on what I could find.
I read up on it but I didn't try to spend too much time dwelling on it.
I wrote some things. But I can only observe these things. I wish not to be seen as being one who understands what it going on in the world these days. I try to learn what happens and try less to 'splain about the peeps involved. That whole 'It's them!' finger pointing is bogus and discordant to an eccumenical and open hearth world view.
And those who seek to live within a meta where they rule the world as a cartoon avatar persona . . . and do their pyramid scheme money-thang and their virtuality as if it's real . . . They do as they will and I have no say over their futures. So why do they pretend to have a say over mine?
The answer is: that if they live within a meta, then their rules are for them there. Outside of that, in the real world, those of us who aren't crazy with self-entitled ideation, and wealth beyond measure that enables us to put the equipment on, and all of it's tethering and attachments and live within that matrix world . . . all of us who do not wish to join them in what seems to be a depraved cult of wish fulfillment cooupled with a magical point of view about the fate of peoples and persons . . . all of us who have not gone crazy like that . . . you can't really expect us to let you carry on and try to rule us from within your cage of technology?
video gaming morphed into 'meta world creation' because the games were too depraved that had the cool world layouts that people like. The puzzles one loves to solve, and the cool graphics that one wants to see were those times interspersed with simulated acting out of depraved behaviors, like having to kill all the other characters in the scene before one moves on to the next level.
So at some point you trained yourself to not do it, to click through the depravity as if it's not there, and maybe miss a creepy backstory. I gave up playing those kinds of games, and I still ike to watch old replays, but I fast forward through the gun fight parts, the ghouls who hound Lara Croft in the end levels of, say Tomb Raider aniversary are tiresome and almost designed to make the players hate this kind of depravity in a game, as if the writers are telling their funders ;Really, a kill anything that seems alive simulation? Like clones could never be born without a need to kill everything else in the proximity from where it emerged? Well, we all know what happend to the Lora Croft franchise, and most video games.
But the graphics can be compelling and fun, so people still get some enjoyment out of it.
And those who think that they can rule from within a meta? they have the persona of the villianous ancient ghoul who haunts Laura through out here travels. Watch a walk through of tomb Raider Aniversary. Feel free to fast forward through the psychopathic parts. But do listen to the banter and the dialog. Spoiler alert: Laura has a lot of soul searching to do.
Aug 29, 2022 Tell us how you really feel
sometimes you just need to remove kruft.
Politics never ends but sometimes it's better to remain mute. Mostly when there is nothing needing or wanting to be said.
but that is no one, that has not hapened to anyone you made it up. thankfully true.
We move along. We keep doing for ourselves. We survive. We don't let the world define who and what we are, or how we feel, or what any of this really means.
And if they have bad humor, and will not forgive they will hate you then.
but at least in that story they leave you alone after all of that
They dont' always leave you alone. It seems they still sometimes want to connect to try to draw that cray cray narrative out one more time. And you have to explain that, no, sorry, this is a bit. You caught me while I was writing a character, that's not me. I am using tht as a dialog in a paly that I'm having my character write inside of his narrative, he's writing his own play about a guy writing a play.
It's like he feeds on it, I get bothered that he lets me go on with it.
I speak but there is no one there. I know that there is no one there. I'm not really talking to myself but I know that I'm not talking to anybody else.© 2017 © 2019 © 2018 © © 2020 © 2021 © 2022

If you don't 'trust' the 'mainstream' media then why would you trust their studies about trust?
Most journalists are reporting local news. You can probably trust most of them.
Anyone who was getting their nightly spoon fed view of the world and believing it without skepticism probably isn't looking to understand the issues, but just to find out how it is that some may expect them to react. And so you access the person to whom you speak, and if you 'get it' that they do not get it, then you don't give them your pearls of wisdom.
Truth is real. Consensus is fabricated. The views of the 'people' are made up in an individuals head. The individual may be wrong. The 'truth' doesn't coordinate, in that case. This is the rule of subjective, or small 't' truth.
Large 'T' Truth is an idea that can't be denied, the configuration of the physical world, the way that things work, and are even out of the control of prayer and wish-craft, baring a miracle. Prayers are not fulfilled but answered. The answer will try to align the receiver with the 'Truth' of God. The Truth of God: the big 'T' Truth. The little t truths of opinion, not important. The little 't' truths of the physical world? Still very important and not up for discussion.
Everyone knows the analogy of the ledge, the necessity of keeping people from falling over. But you can't keep people from their own stupidity. If they go to the edge and they climb over the railing and they lean out they might just slip and fall. If they have on the correct gear? If they stand in the way of a falling bird poo? Who would do that? Prayer isn't going to stop the rain from raining on everyone when it is raining. If a tower falls it isn't an act of God. It is an act of man. The tower was, perhaps, designed poorly (I am not talking about the WTC but the tower that Jesus mentions in the Gospels. It is the only historical reference to a tragic accident. We look to the builder of the tower for the mistake, not the builder of the builder.
"But why didn't G_d make the architect a better architect so that he/she would design a safer building? Why did G_d make people flawed? How is it that we aren't all perfect if G_d is perfect?"
Maybe leave it as an exercise to answer these fallacies? Set up a comments section for adults over 40 who will answer the nacent cries of the not quite getting it person who wants to believe in G_d but is over thinking it.
Fallacies are hard to eradicate. In the case of expecting that a perfect G_d wants to make a perfect creature, maybe there is a process of creating that which is long and involved and we are only partly there yet? Maybe perfection, as a concept, is just a human one and G_d doesn't care about the rules of people who are still lost in the fallacies of youth, those who don't adore and worship and get that there is just no getting it about somethings. WE have t just except them as they are. We are supposed to be in a constant state of song (psalm) when we are in worship. If that is internal? External? It might not be all of it. There is also the silence. And is there a border between them?
And so we are not perfect because this isn't a world for perfect people. And we find that angels (or what are they called, sara-something, neph-something, well they do have great power (if you believe in them) and they do exist in this world (if you believe it). So why didn't G_d stop with them?
It's not my story, so why tell it. Oh, screw that, I suppose it's everyone's story. It's maybe a metaphor or an allegory about human consciousness. Or these are actual other creatures, creatures who exist alongside us and in this world only in a part of it that we are not privy too except through the calculated use of mind. But then some claim direct and constant contact. They seem to have an understanding of them.
But philosophy of religion and mysticism, and the belief in angels, isn't something that a lot of people buy into. They don't. And so if you believe it, and you've talked to them, or heard them maybe in the rustle of the leaves, seen them in the way that the leaves seem to act in unison, in a hard wind, at night, in the fall, at teh end of the autumn before the leaves are all blown away to their ultimate destruction. Does the leaf yell out as it is dieing "oh, imperfect world of sorrows, there can be no G_d because all life ends in death. Ah, my life! I am not more! oh were does my soul go?"
The leaf doesn't know. It doesn't have a mind like that as far as our science says. And so it has no concept of 'dieing'. It was there for what it was for, it did it's thing, and now the season changes and so must it. It isn't 'dead' because the cells of it are still there and will still be used by other creatures. It will become part of the soil and then be reabsorbed by the trees. It may even be reabsorbed by the very same tree from which it came. And so the complex cycle of the leaf continues.
We are not leaves. Our cycles will be different from leaves. But still, won't we have cycles too? As humans? We come, we go. Willy nilly. We sniff the lilies of the field and sing psalms about it in a giant hall we call a temple/church/mosque. We call out to our fellows to believe as we do: all life is temporary though the life of the Lord is forever! We call out to Praise the Lord Forever!
And we all still disagree. About mostly everything. We can get it in a group, a small group that lives in the same place, where we can do the congregational gathering together. We call out our psalms. hopefully we sound harmonious. And if we don't, if someone is always off key and out of phase and sounding like shrieks of a chalkboard we would never say anything about during the service. (well, we might, but that would be a story to tell afterwards about how some people are impolite).
When people get angry when others don't get it right, the call that person (i have someone in mind) an 'a-hoe'. The person wants us all to do better. Then they neigh-sayers say 'look at thy own self, brother love', without really hearing or understanding or seeing his earnestness and authentic trickster disdain for those who don't just 'forgettabout it' and get over what ever legal buslisht that is hampering the harmony of those in that guild: guild of holy troubadours
And so, well, do people 'trust' the mass media? Did they ever? And if they don't is that a bad thing?
The Internet was supposed to be a great leveler. It was supposed to open up the world of information dissemination to everyone. It allows for intense interconnectibility. But this broke some of the control models of the super-egregious (who may be nar, but a fiction). And those super-oupers were asleep (or heavily medicated) and couldn't be bothered with the travails of actual book learning. So they didn't bother to study communications theory and informational dissemination, statistics, programming, sequencing, automation, and engineering. They were majoring in leisure and partying, film-making, power mongering.
Good thing they are just a fiction, these super-ouper's. In any case the system as it is configured, with all data being pinged to the NSA, is one that can not be sustained. The model breaks down because it has a pole on the right half of the plane, in system theory that means an unstable system. There are very many reasons why that model is unsustainable. It basically multiples the amount of energy it takes to transmit data because it requires a copy of every packet. And then if the packets that are copied are copied, it gets even worse. All someone has to do is to . . . of course I wouldn't tell you because I don't want the system to break. Though I know that it will some day and they will have to turn off all of their spying.
sung to the tune of 'stop sobbing' by the women from Ohio: "Yes it's time for you to stop all of your spying. yes it's time for you to stop all of your spying. stop it stop it stop it stop it there is one thing you have to do even if you don't I'll still love you better stop spying right now ya ya ya stop it stop it stop it" Yes it's time for you to stop all of your spying stop it stop it stop it stop it of course all spying can't stop some will go on. why? because there will always be those who do it. A just government is one that when eggrigious things happen, over reach, the over reach is corrected. Any possible criminality is investigated. And then they do a 'catch and release'. So I'm not a fool. Of course the NSA has done a lot of good. But the level of what they do now is not correct. It isn't for safety of nation, but for lining the pockets of connected contractors who kick it back. I have no proof of this which I can show and as I say above I believe in 'catch and release' for most criminal behavior like this. I go under the premise that most government is good and bad government can be reformed. And so we wait and we believe and eventually we will get the Justice that our nation deserves and this stupid scheme of packet capture will be done away with.

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.
I did some stuff with lvm to resize a root area. That took a very long time. It's on a machine that maybe just should be retired . . .

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.
