how do I even know if anyone even sees these pages? I suppose that's why I stopped updating them

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

It's a hard world that we live in. If it weren't, we wouldn't be able to walk around. It's not a marshmallow world.
The news is full of personalities who have little concern for following the rules. That is fine for rebels in entertainment. Or for athletes at a dance party. But it is not for politicians and office holders.
Our nation is full of 300, or more, million people. If we need to have a woman as the very next president, (but I think that idea is bigoted, the idea that it 'has to be that'), then can we find someone who doesn't need a pardon?
Anyone who wants to be president ought to be considered very carefully. Is this desire a lust for power? Is it a quest to make things correct? In the case of someone who is a success by their own means the 'want' may indicate that this person believes that he/she/? can make things better. In the case of someone who has already had a bite at the apple of power, the lust to be president seems to show a crass and brassy personality, some one who is all 'do as I say or I will bully you.' Such a person doesn't see the wart of lust-for-power that is growing out of the end of their nose. Such a person needs to get some wart remover. Press-shaming might be in order.
Everyone has some kind of wart of personality that he/she/? works on, or doesn't. We tend to pretend it doesn't exist, and we don't want to be reminded of it. So if my friend goes out to smoke a cigarette when he's told me a million times that he is quitting I said something. "Can I drive him half way through Saturday to the special store so he can get the special nicotine liquid that he puts in his electronic cigarette?" he had asked me one weekend. So I drove him there. He spent a lot of money on it. And now he's back to smoking real cigarettes. He's out huffing butts on his ice covered porch, wet drips from the melting snow splashing on his cotton tee shirt. The smell of nicotine will be on him for the rest of the evening. I just have to say 'oh, well, whatever'.
So I do. It's harmless.
But when it's the nicotine-of-lust-for-power, and the candidate smokes that, what she/?/he is doing is not mostly harmless, though a personally self-destructive thing. She/?/he is trying to rule the country. She/?/he needs to be told "look it, you smell like the nicotine-of-lust-for-power, It's all over your pants suit. I know you don't like to spend time in the kitchen, and you deride 'cookie makers', but, really, can't you see what an ass you come off as with these latest revelations? Don't you understand how you seem married to notions of total hypocrisy: you demanded a different set of rules for yourself than for others. Not cool when you are working for the government. That is called discrimination. As an officer of the bureaucracy you should have been working to end that kind of mismanagement, and dereliction of power.
But you didn't.
Does this sound like anyone you know? Because I'm telling you, how can such a person be real?
And if her/his/? answer is in the form of 'what possible difference can it make', the bully's answer, (because she doesn't do 'accountability'), then say "that applies to her/him/? running for president too. Why you? Why does it need to be you?" Clearly, readers, it does not need to be her. At this point I would say, and this is only my opinion, that it should not be her. Why? Because that undermines the notion that democracy works: when people who don't bother to follow the laws themselves get to be in charge, no one believes that the institution is worth anything anymore.
Does a Marxist believe in the cult of personality? If one really believes in the march of civilization away from the rule of money-grubbers and unworthy heirs of corrupt fortunes (the rhetoric of the good Marxist), then why furiously work in the other direction? If you really were a Marxist you would loath the cult of personality, the 'it has to be this one, and only this one.'
But leftism, and causes of a 'feel-good' nature, that pretend to help, are really very useful to get people elected. And, ya, a power junkie might not know the 'cause' is false. The people around him/her/? want him/her/? in power so that they can live off the fat of the office.
Or they might not care. Maybe they just like her/him/?. One thing is clear: the delusion of a hive can be strong. When they think she/he/? is a shoe-in, there is not telling what they might conjour up as excuses for her/him/?. They want her. They need her. They have to have her. (they want him. They need him. They have to have him.) They want ?. They need ?. They have to have ?. In this case
note: ? is the pronoun for use with unknown gender. Doesn't really work, does it?
Which proves it once again: people who would behave as such are only pretending to be Leftists and Marxists. The real deal may be that they are sycophants mongering for a coronation for their queen. (king, queen, sovereign)
Would anyone be so ridiculous? How could I be writing about anyone real? If people were so ridiculous, wouldn't they see it in themselves and change their behaviors? Sometimes yes. Sometimes no.

Hey, cool news! Brian Wilson will be honored with Brian Fest, in LA, week before Easter. Sold out except for VIP seating (expensive!)
I spend a lot of time on line watching clips of old music. I went down through a list of Billboard top 40. Each year had it's own page which included a link to a countdown medley clip for the top 25 of that year
These guys gave a great show!

previousPoem Shards just who reads, who writes these poems? off a mountain road the poet roams but only in a poem.

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.
