You Cannot Imagine How Much I Wish This!!!!!

You cannot imagine how much I wish this!!!!!

I started with computers, hacking a Commodore 64, building my own board for new chips,

When there were no mice to click. ! You had to type everything. And write your code to make it work.

When I got a power Mac and access to real processing chips, I thought I was in heaven.

Now there are so many barriers to doing any of that, and they tell me this makes it better for me !

NO, IT DOESN’T. !

When I actually buy something I get to do whatever the fuck I want with it, because I bought it. !

I take complete responsibility for doing risky things. That’s all on me.

The old, good internet deserves a new, good internet

I miss the old, good internet, but I don’t want to bring it back.

I want a new, good internet. One where users can’t be locked in because we make it legal to:

• reverse-engineer products and services, so you can leave a social media platform but still send and receive messages from the people you leave behind;

• jailbreak your devices so you can remove antifeatures like surveillance, ink-locking or repair-blocking; • move your media and files out of the silo whence they originated and into any player you want.

I want a new, good internet where we constrain the conduct of tech companies, banning unfair labor practices, deceptive marketing, corporate hostage-taking and other forms of rent-extraction.

I want a new, good internet where it’s both illegal to impose bossware on your employees, and where those employees can legally hack the bossware their bosses shove down their throats.

I want a new, good internet where creative workers and their audiences can reliably connect with one another, where news reporting isn’t held hostage to extractive processes.

I want a new, good internet where we seize the means of computation so that the digital infrastructure that connects our romantic, personal, political, civic, economic, educational and family and social lives is operated by and for the people who use it.

No better conceptualization for the second heating you get from making firewood and carrying water from the well than.

I’m old enough to have actually done that many times, and now on occasion still do and have a whole new appreciation of it. 🪵. 🔥. 💦

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, the foxes are heading to the sauna - a small windowless hut, painted red.
Blue: Nothing beats a real woodstove sauna.

The foxes are chopping firewood as Blue continues.
Blue: You chop wood for the fire...

The foxes are carrying buckets of water.
Blue: ...Carry water from the well...

The foxes are sitting in the sauna, eyes closed, enjoying the heat.
Blue: ...And enjoy the fruits of your own work.

So you want to know why I’m disgusted with the U.S…..

I’m over 60 years old. I’ve formally had five jobs in my 42 + year professional year professional life. One by popular election, two by my own selection. Those three required that I take an oath to uphold the Constitution of this country. I took it personally and seriously. That conduct repulses me on so many different levels that I am without further words …..

Trump chief of staff Meadows says actions laid out in Georgia indictment were part of his job
AP News
Mark Meadows, former White House chief of staff, has testified that actions detailed in a sweeping indictment accusing him of participating

I’m no legal expert, but if attempting to overturn a federal election conducted and certified as valid under the Constitutions of the United States and the state of Georgia, and in accordance with state and federal law, is now “part of the job” then people, all people, really ought to get to the range and practice. Because if the President’s Chief of Staff can pull that card to subvert an election, then our Republic truly is under mortal threat.

ABSOLUTELY

Reblog if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.

Oh you mean publicly funded child grooming centers?

The scary thing. The really scary thing is there are millions of people who believe that that is exactly what libraries are.

But let me turn that on it’s head, and embrace it. They are child grooming centers. Because they are a place where children can be groomed not to learn what to read and what not to read, but to read. Groomed not to learn what to think and what not to think, but to think. Groomed not to learn what to believe and what not to believe, but to question. Groomed not to condone or condemn the ideas, believes, and lifestyles of other people, but to understand they exist.

Because once a child learns to read, think, question, and understand they can grow to become a dangerously intelligent and formidable adult. And if there is one thing that scares the shit out of governments and institutions it is exactly what this nation needs more of; dangerously intelligent and formidable adults.

And on a personal note, if you think libraries are places where kids go to get groomed to be molested, become drag queens, gay, communists, fornicators, or God knows what else your Jack in the Box fucked up mind can come up with, you’re kinda a dipshit. And you clearly don’t spend much, if any, time in public libraries.

Also, finishing with “sent from my iPad “. It actually is ……….His iPad

Meet the closed bottle gentian.

It’s a native wildflower in these parts. These are in one of my garden views. Saw them a couple years back in state forest, so those I could not “rescue”. Not being able to find them anywhere else, I broke down and ordered them from Prairie Nursery.

The cool thing about this bottle neck type is that these are shown in fully blooming. The petals never open. But pollination does occur when a large bumblebee wrestles and forces it’s way inside.

F. F. S. PEOPLE.

This is the point we’ve gotten to.

Even Elon Musk with his billions has learned his feelings do not control the world and everything in it.

Just fucking grow up ! ! !

Whole hearted agreement with that sentiment @oni-with-an-iron-club..

Significantly over 60 years. There’s probably at least one more, Hopefully I’m wiser now and it will be in an entirely new setting. Almost looking forward to it. Top five life challenge. Anybody up for that. ?

Making more $$$ from practicing medicine is NOT better health care. That is just an elitist way of rationing healthcare. Pursuit of the almighty unbridaled profit $ is destroying this country.
