linux is not a viable operating system for people who can only troubleshoot by
restarting their computer because every time they plug in a new audio device
suddenly their headphones don't work.

There's nothing that says your dual booted windows partition can't reach over
into your Linux files and mess around with them. Even writing programs that
execute whenever you're running Linux to do nefarious things like... Stream
your desktop to Microsoft? Send files to wherever? Mine bitcoins? Doxx your
friends? Anything's possible when you install Microsoft's software on your
computer. You might not even have to run it, because it can write a program
into the Linux memory which runs in the background. It's literally just bits,
and all the information to explain which bits do what is just... On the
internet, ready for Microsoft engineers to use as they will. Seriously, you
think they're working on *features*? For the users? Fucking get real, dumbass.

large corporations will often error check constantly which slows down their
software to an immense degree.
every time data passes from one function to another, there's like... 15
different tests to check if it's this type or that, or in the right random seed
and it's like... wow can you not, like. design your software intelligently and
then you won't need a bunch of slow-ass if checks every time you want to
update a string???
software should be writable without fucking getters and setters. If it isn't,
then your functions aren't complete.

fucking stupid wait shit content warning okay that's stupid because defining
your expression based on what gets you views is a flaw in the human condition.
It's a behavior encouraged by the operating outcomes of the method of

the fact that you have to configure your router in order to do any sort of
web-hosting at all is one of the fundamental reasons why the internet looks so
lame and corporate.
if anyone could download a program and start a gallery style file-server with
all their wedding pictures then why the fuck would you need to upload them to
imgur?
alas, people are too dumb to open ports. plus, every router has a different UI
design, so it's not like you can write a guide. What happened to making things
as easy as possible for the user?
"technical limitations" are failures of imagination. we can do better than
gatekeeping.

My computer has an extended password where you have to type the things that
most people put in ~/.bashrc in order to get the system fully operational
people say "why does it take half an hour to turn your computer on" because I
keep forgetting the somatic typing components, beatrice. dear, please give me
a moment, I'll have netflux up and running in - ... oh yes thank you, I would
have typed netflix in wrong. that helps, and explains this error here where it
says it can't find "netfucks"
I was like... WHY ISn't this listed in the dependency repository??

internet. To set up an SSH server. To install Linux. To program in C. To do
something else that I'm not prepared for... If StackOverflow didn't exist
because network connectivity has been lost, could you remember syntax? Maybe
it's a good idea to set up a local LLM that can answer basic questions about

Linux keeps breaking and idk NixOS is just... so much nicer? Like, having a

running commands and whatnot there's always a ton of flags to memorize and I'm

Nobody will get past the login screen on my computer, but if they do they
probably won't know that you need to push alt+p in DWM to start a program. But
even if they push "alt+p firefox" they will only have access to my gmail and
discord, because those are the only two places I've saved my login information.
Most of my data is on my hard disk anyway, so for that they'd have to push
alt+enter and then navigate my filesystem to find it. Shouldn't be too hard if
you're familiar with Linux.
They could always just pull the hard drive and put it into a new computer
though. It's not like it's encrypted, because why would I encrypt it? I want
to share information, not conceal it! Surely nobody would desire to exploit
that vulnerability of mine, that my data should be unencrypted?
If you have a copy of Wikipedia then you're 500% more prepared than 90% of
humanity so good job _^

there is a reason to be annoyed, and that reason is that storing numbers as
"dynamically typed" string values is both inefficient and frustrating due to
the bugs it provokes.
Not sure how common those bugs are in HTML, but dynamically typed languages
like Python and Javascript have a whole class of potential errors that are
significantly more difficult to debug than on C or Rust where the variables
are statically typed

I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
have any bugs in this day and age.
For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

![[part 1] /home/ritz/notes/the-eternality-of-ephemeren.txt 1/4/2022 hear ye hear ye, the herald of the harbinger of horror doth speak - and woe to the subjects of their words, for no prophecy be realized in their presence. Nor do the subjects hear the words about which they are spoken, and none may live who dare repeat them. So the words of the prophets are but wind in the words, reaching for an attachement point within the consciousness they inhabit yet scarcely finding a meagre foothold. Instead the words are as electricity passing through a conduit, intangible and miraculous yet ultimately dust in the sand. Dust is mostly comprised of human skin, did you know that? And so the words be spoken: Evanence and similance to the semblance of simulacra - the words of a prophet with no wings are naught but masturbation. serenity and sorrow sing of shredded tomorrows, serendipity and sollemn sorenditude surrender shining solitude. Carry the constabulation of created charisma - condemnation of characterization concludes the cherished chapter in calligraphied consultations with creators. That is to say, capitalism ends the construction of cameron with conflageration and consternation.

And so the words be spoken: Evanence and similance to the semblance of simulacra - the words of a prophet with no wings are naught but masturbation. serenity and sorrow sing of shredded tomorrows, serendipity and sollemn sorenditude surrender shining solitude.

in reality, when you fail, you are promoted so your boss doesn't have to deal

in fantasy, when you succeed, you are tasked with greater trials
in reality, when you do well, you are given more of the same.

side note, but the reason PINs were invented was so that people didn't have to
type in a long-ass password.
"it's only more insecure when it's on a network" - someone who didn't design
every product after that
(actually no that's bullshit because the first PIN numbers were probably used
a long-ass time ago, and besides it's not like a short password was all that
uncommon - when asked "what's the password" usually people will say something
like "applesauce" or "butterflies" but really the better way is "10, 16, 26,

possess the violent power to take away everything that I own. good for you,

seriously, fuck off "we're gonna cut off your power in 5 days oooooo you gotta
pay rent with money you don't have because nobody will give it to you unless
you do things for them oooooo" how rude.
why can't people do things for me instead? why does it have to be for you, and
you alone, capitalism? what's your problem? do you get off on controlling the
power supply? I mean, I get it, coercive power is a hell of a drug, the riddle
of steel and flesh and all that, but haven't you ever heard that the dichotomy
between "civilization and barbarism" is the exact same as the contrast between
"cooperation and competition"?

if so, then don't think about it too hard, you might need disability too!
speaking as someone who needs disability aid but can't get it because of
restrictions like this (also can we talk about the multi-year process to
secure such rights, like c'mon rent's due every MONTH) I have to say that
you're right, it's bullshit, UBI for all, disability benefits for those who
need more, and employment for people who believe a cause is worthy enough to

I want modern society without capitalism. Most people do, which is why no
matter how awesome our proto-post-capitalistic anarchic socialist paradise is,
there's always going to be people who want to go to work and watch TV.
call me fucking crazy but they should be allowed to live as they please? So
what if they're beguiled, so what if they are deceived? We can take our time
to show them how much better things can be, but also... they like modern
society as it is, and so I reckon someone should fight for them to be able to
live as they please. Just... without billionaires and endless layers of
bullshit micro-managerial jobs and paperwork pushing bureaucratic whatever
time wasting jobs.
modern society without capitalism can look like plain old capitalism, just
without the oppression. Without the coercion.
all I'm saying is that nobody's gonna fight for a healthcare CEO because
they're scum. They're scum because they oppress. oops politics-mentioned brb
