To me +this "web" is a little service hosted on most websites at port 80 that will +return reading material if I write a neat request in the format of the HyperText +Transport Protocol (or HTTP). Fun! Usually, though, I get a program to automate +this task for me. I like Firefox and Lynx, the latter more than the former +though I use Fx the most. There have been a number of developments to the web I +really don't like: + - Cascading StyleSheets (or CSS). +I remember when I could go into my browser settings and change the text color, +font, and size, and the background color. Now when using Fx I'm at the mercy +of the site designer who usually doesn't share my sensibilities, much less +sense. + + Also not completed. + + I wrote something else that I liked but I don't know where I put it. + + Looking through computer backups makes me very lonely. I'm currently +working on getting rid of most of my stuff - I really don't need much and it's +weighing me down. But the reason I had so much damn stuff was because I was +planning on spending my life with somebody. It's not so bad to be alone but I +wish I had planned for it, or that my plans had worked out a little better. So +it goes... + + At any given moment there are hundreds of accomplishable plots to end +the world. Most are horrifying, some are near-completion, some aren't planned +except in the back of the minds of men, where conscious thought breaks down and +only the God-daemons are left to staff the console. The following four things +strike me as things that are actually worrying: +- TempleOS (reason: [...]) +- blockchains (reason: + From what little I know about the blockchain - + which is really not a lot! - I wonder if it could + become sentient. I wonder if it already is. + Substitute "the blockchain" for your favorite.) + + The sudden growth of memes should worry me but it doesn't because when +I dove into them I found them to be a very effective weapon, and that counter- +attacks aren't too difficult to launch when needed. The main problems to be +solved are automation and timing. + I think the television show "Infowars" was actually just some +convoluted but successful attempt to inoculate a critical mass of "true +believers" (someone should come up with a term that isn't stupid) against +certain ideas. By presenting itself in a way that is just outright silly and +unbelievable except by the most gullible of its potential viewers, it +discredits its ideas and those that repeat them. To say that there is veritable +information warfare, in a way that is very new and very exciting strategically, +would not be at all controversial unless this silly television show called +"Infowars" with a kooky host and fake stories existed that discredits the idea. +To say 5G will be very convenient for law enforcement to find and prosecute or +persecute criminals or alleged criminals (politics may vary) would be to repeat +common knowledge if the stuff of "Infowars"' ilk hadn't already presented 5G as +some heinous conspiracy based not on the potential for geolocation based on +access point connection triangulation (there's probably a better term for this +but I don't draft and edit blahposts) but the idea that harmless radio waves +are some evil wireless mind control plot or whatever. + On a side note, I was tipped off to the wack part of 5G + by someone in [...] back when I was loosely associated but + included in communications. I've seen their claim repeated but + don't have a citation. Empiracally (is that how you spell that?) + though, if you need more 5G towers because the signal isn't + very strong, an accessing device will have to be physically + closer to a given tower, and so finding it will be easier if + you know to what towers it's connected. Presumably cell + providers know this (I don't know a lot about the + nitty-gritties) and provide it to law enforcement - they do + know cell location in 4G and prior technologies. But don't + quote me - look stuff up and double check your damn sources! + Why would Alex Jones give up his life, basically, just to tell some +lies on a television show? Probably, though, he's just rage-drunk and +struggling through withdrawal from slamming his fist on expensive desks. + + I'm mostly an ideas person.
