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

"We don't need your stinkin' clicks."
The fear that many have, who would dare to write about such things, is the bully nature of (some) of those motivated by causes. Under the current regime the mongering of those who seem to be political supporters of the regime, seems to get a 'pass'. People are disrespected and brutalized and those responsible often get a 'pass.' So some are scared that they will be targeted. Witness that the Alex Jones site has been hacked and a list of those who pay for it's content is now . . . being sold. Why should people who subscribe to a publication have to face retribution just for sampling alternative points of view? Most magazines and websites will sell their list of subscribers, it's part of the deal when you sign up. So why is it that people would fear that this list is out there? Because those people must fear that any who would want such a list would want it for ill-use: to terrorize the subscribers. Mr. Jones should just release that list himself, for free. Don't be scared, be bold.
The stupid thing about this is that Mr. Jones' is a news organization. It's a political shock-jock TMZ of politics. It's the equivalent of the National Enquirer, only about politics. It's a 'conspiracy theory aggregator'. The problem is somethings that end up being wicked conspiratorial actually are factual accounts of real behavior. So if 99 % of what you print is 'here is what people say that is outragous and that is probably not true, there is gong to be that 1% of what you publish that will be actual reports of real behavior. And so such reports, when they are factual, might illicite a response from the subjects of those reports. And thus, such organizations, when they over react to these reports from a conspiracy theory aggrigator, such as Inforwar daught calming-effect-of-truth, . . . The guilty call themselves out!
Mr. Jones is foremost a performer. He's got a Lenny Bruce quality about him. But this time they can't shut him up. So they try and put fear in him. And they try to screw wtih his subscriber base. But please be advised: just because someone subsribes to a sight doesn't mean that they disagree with you about 99% of what you believe in. But absolutists, like the open sore governance mongers, they want that 100% complience. They use fear as a weapon. You stole my subscriber list? What next? those who subscribe to the NYT? They'll just sell you the list. They'll probably just sell you the list. Alex Jones probably would too, as long as his subscribers agree. What does he really have to be afraid of? The full protection of law applies to him, as well. And unlike some of the toads on the left he doesn't hide from his ideology, and he doesn't use fear and intimidation. Those who hate him for, essentially being a political shock jock, they don't know him. They don't listen. They have cotton in their ears.
It's hyperbole as a bit. It's a schtick. If you target him, and his audience with hatred and criminal behavior it's really yourself who you destroy. You can spit on the saint as you crucify him, and later, when you repent, you can join him in Heaven.
Jones doesn't deserve the illwill he gets. If anything they should be praising him for trying to keep it honest. Yes, he does report wild views. It's useful to get that kind of conjecture, to mill through it, also as a form of entertainment. But the sad and sorry nature of it, after these years of turmoil in the governance and imposition of group-think upon the populace of the governance, has created a most retrograde situation. And clearly someone in some governance feels threatened by something truthful that Jones does, becase if was all BS, they would just pass it over, like we do with the Weekly World News or other comedy publications. You have to get that Jones is doing satire, that it's often comedic. That you don't get the joke doesn't give you the right to terrorize those who do, or those who subscribe because they want to know what the bastard (Alex) is up to. In their mind. The Bastard thing is not correct, in my point of view. I see him as a show person. He's good a performance. He's a political shock jock, a cross genre person, almost a cross between John Beluszi, Robin Williams, Howard Stern, Jerry Williams (the late Dean of Talk Radio), and other very rambuncious, but well loved (and well hated) performers. I am talking about the quality and method of performance, not the ideology, of these listed orators.
Jones, as crass as he seems to many, in very many ways is a fragil canary in the coal mine of political tolerance. If bad things are targetted against him, even if you disagree with what you delude he stands for, if bad things are targetted against him it's not just targetted against him, but against all media. It's an assault on the Freedom of Expression, and on free and open debate.
It's an assault against one of the main prinsiples of Democracy: a Free Press. But given from where it comes, from what part of the political spectrum, and from those who don't believe in Demcracy anyway, and would applaud false primary results as long as their candidate wins it, people like that, with no shame. They attack Jones because they delude that people agree with them in doing it. No. I might be more radical than you, with more revolutionary ideas that would make you feel ashamed, if I dared to tell you what a hypocrite you are for being so closed minded. Someone who is so opposed to you, like you delude Jones is, that you would make veiled threats against his subscribers by . . . hacking a list that you could have probably just bought from him anyway, and that no one would feel shame about, to be on that list. The idea that you think that the list has value as a tool for politics shows how sick and discusting you are, if you have really hacked his list. What should they be ashamed of? What value does it have? Other than to be used for intimidation? From a crowd that won't put up with it. The users of such a list for those purposes will be met with outrage from all quarters, even supporters of the candidate whom Alex (obviously) opposes.
Smarten up. Using a list such as that as a political weapon is a form of tyranny. Is that really what you stand for?
I went to search for "Alex Jones" on Wikipeida, they give a list because it's a common name. For Mr. Jones, the Polictical Shock Jock, they list him as a 'conspiracy theorist'. I would modify it. He's not really a conspiracy theorist, but a 'conjecturer'. here is his Wikipedia link. Here is his website. And in this link Infowars gives a glowing narrative about Mr. Alex Jones
Again, if you're making Alex into a villain, you aren't actually hearing anything that he is saying, or watching anything that he is doing. You were told by tainted sources to hate him, and you do it, as a conformist and prove yourself a neophyte. Get over it. Work on yourself, stop hating on someone with whom you delude to disagree. You'd find, if you bothered to hear him, that he's just another real person trying to make sense of the world and doing it in an unfiltered way through free association of his conjectures concerning the situations of life and politics, and to share with you the insight that it gives him. He's right a lot of the time. He's wrong some of the time. When he's wrong he'll own it. So disrepect him at your peril. You might not like what he has to say, but you will know that he's dead-on about a lot of topics. If you don't hear it, you'll never know. And it will be your loss, and none of his.

When I'm with you it almost seems real again you, trying to draw me in, your inappropriate and constant touching that I'd wish you'd stop. But some how wanting to run away doesn't make me do it. I cower and hide. Your desires . . . you're married! I know him. When I'm alone I know that the memory will fad infatuation worthless pandering worthless trinketts that someone wants to fight you for nothing here is real it exists just for didactic purposes . . . the fog lifts. They have a fist fight those two, over a 1500 dollar chair over two 1500 dollar chairs that someone had brought in as a donation. Inappropriate friendship never lasts. But then it's her. She's pulled into the same rest area It's midnight and an approaching storm. Her husbands gone down into the reeds of the river snaking through the low lands in the bright light of the intermitent moon with ghosts of ancient Portuguese who had settled this place. You see her as you are driving by calling out "where are you? Where are you, oh husband oh mine . . . " Ya, but you couldn't really hear it because you don't stop there anymore especially at midnight and the approaching storm. Soon to be safe at home and warm Soon to be safe at home and cool? Cool? Like 'fonzi' cool, because that isn't really cool That's only mock cool. It was cool mock cool and Henry Winkler was always cool, But Fonzi wasn't real cool, Not like Jimmy at the beach cool hot summer day, paying for people who can't pay their way anonymous cool becuase the coolest of the cool are the fool for following the rule Wait, not the fool, not needing to follow that rule, anonymously and with a penchant for extreame kindness. Afterwards when everyone had already gone home and the day had driven the sun down, like spiking a football into those brillient sundog sundown sunset dusk daze-over, a fog that fog lifts as the brillient moon, across the sky, arrises I can call out for you but you're never coming home never coming home never coming home I can cook diner for you but your never coming home never coming home again. That squiral that lives in the spruce drops down the cones that it has devored showers down on your truck the beds filled with tailings of the giant feast above in that tree. At night I call out to you but you're never coming home never coming home never coming home again Eventually your brother has the truck taken away truck taken away your hat still in the window. At night I call out to you you used to answer across the apartment At night I call out to you you used to smile at me in the middle of the night That lighthouse your giant beacon in the middle of the night accross the foggy bridge of years. And maybe someday going home to you when the fog gets blown away across the stormed cross deep and blue And pipers piping people weeping never ceasing storming brew That light house shines forever your giant beacon I can see it from my home

When the rain was coming down and the storm was getting worse and he felt such dispair that he agreed to a curse He made a deal with the spirits of the forest but the spirits of the forest wouldn't ever let him go Now he's all OK he understands what he'd given away and with all thing like that when you stop and change your mind and you ask for forgiveness and remain being kind, and you stop with your fear and things you don't really hear that seem speaking in your mind things that are actually unkind. So if you make a deal with the Spirits of the forest remember spirits of the forest exist only in your mind. So deal with yourself and set your self free you ought not be a slave to who you used to be a promise to your self that you made in your mind might be the worst thing now and mostly wickedly unkind. So don't make deals with the devils that you conjour in your evenings tripping in the swamp.
My bad tenent won't go away says he's a Hippy and he can't pay I was crazy to have him moving in specially when he convessed he's not starting again He can't lose he can only win.

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

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.
