the blog.

it's... a blog (who'd of thought)

Welcome to the beginning of something!

Now, there's probably some better way to start this, but I truly have no idea.

Pretty much though, this a blog about basically whatever comes to my mind, hence the very generi-, sorry... inspired name.

I'm most likely going to be writing this in the style of a journal, with the entries ordered from oldest to newest instead of the other way around.

On another note though, I really hope I actually keep this blog up. I've tried so many times to start things like this but have never truly been dedicated enough.




...I have absolutely nothing else to say, might try adding a song to every entry on here?

In that case, here's the first one: Dear Child (I've Been Dying To Reach You) – Anthony Green

...but I have nothing to say.

See, that's the main reason why I haven't started anything like this before, a lack of ideas. But, I personally think that's a really dumb reason for not going ahead. Sure, there's the people saying things like “write what you know” and whatever else, but the question is “what do I know?”

I mean, I've been trying to write a novel recently, getting writer's block after every single chapter is kinda awful and I still barely know where I want to lead the plot of it.

But, of course, right here, writer's block strikes once again.

I do wish I could help it, but I truly can't. There's so many random slivers of an idea in my head that randomly appear in such a way that I can't make any cohesive thought without going further and further down a rabbit hole of how to make it all work.

The aforementioned rabbit hole

I guess that's it for whatever weird, in-cohesive rant I just wrote though, here's the song for this entry: Writer's Block – Just Jack

Technology as we know it is getting worse, and everybody knows it.

More and more people are becoming absolutely glued to their phones, and there's no avoiding it.

So, I'm letting go of my Pixel 7 Pro for a while and switching to a “dumb” phone.

But, they're definitely far from dumb, especially as you see more and more people consuming content that's being force fed down their throats as if we're cattle in a feedlot with the supply being akin to a truly bottomless buffet with soulless machines generating and generating just so some sleazebag of a person can try to make what they call an honest living.

This will definitely be a struggle in the beginning. However, considering that the only real app I need to add to any phone is a way to listen to music (in my case, Tidal), I think I'll make it through.

That being said, I definitely am not going fully without a “smart” phone as the “dumb” phone of which I picked runs the open source (luckily degoogled) version of Android 10 due to needing certain Android apps such as Tidal and my banking app.

Anyway, I'd say that's enough rambling for right now. Happy Juneteenth to whoever is reading this.

If you're wondering why this entry took so long, I dropped my laptop onto concrete and it is now in the shop, so I have to rely on an old HP thing that is slow even with an install of Alpine Linux and LXQt for the moment.

(Shout out to my laptop company for giving free damage protection for a year also!)

With that though, here's the song for right now: End Of The World – The Living End

Alright, I didn't want to make this. But here I am!

The world as we know it is slowly getting worse and worse, going towards a sad reality in which movies such as Wall-E and Democracy are becoming truth and not fiction.

This is a timeline where: The President of the United States is a rich man who puts his own gains before himself, lying through his teeth in order to save his reputation.

This is a timeline where the People are using A.I. as an alternative to their own creativity, even using it for “evidence” when that “evidence” will never be stable due to the way of which A.I. models are trained, even going so far as to develop entire programs with it with little to no regard as to how making security infrastructure like that is a horrible idea and then being amazed when their entirely vibe coded authentication server is breached.

Someone of which I know gives their medical records to ChatGPT and similar programs to check if they are doing well health wise, and when confronted over how risky putting that data in the hands of A.I is even without mentioning the potential inaccuracies from it, they simply stated “I don't care”.

We are becoming so utterly lazy as a species that some of us have stopped cooking meals for themselves and instead switched to paying someone to go and get food for them because they can't be bothered to even get off their couch like an oversized toddler. With that in mind, I'm not stating that having fast food or using a meal delivery service every once in a while is an issue, but that depending on them for stability will eventually lead to a loss of ability.

But now, there's another issue: ID Verification.

Platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, and... certain websites are needing to verify your ID or scan your face in order to let you access their platforms. This is not just age verification anymore, this is purely just data collection at its finest. This is corporations trying to get as much control over you as possible in order to make you submit to any of their needs.

I don't want to have this bleak of an outlook on life, but I feel I have to at this point.

I see people driving while completely enveloped in social media at the same time, putting themselves and others at risk.

I want to do something to help the world at large, but it feels as if everyone around me is willingly trapping themselves into a soundproof box to block out the truth.

I feel I have made my point and have nothing else to say. This site has no trackers or ads or any garbage, so if any of you want to donate just to tell me that I'm doing something right and should keep writing, feel free to give me Monero with my address at: 4989oR6hhoQNje7oxEv81vGXtwoGbDSuUhB6CrMwDdqnhRePGmG5qdm2Lc41aWgLKVMB6tzWAf81uRbwbDUDyTfjL27rJch

That's about all, hope whoever is reading this has a good rest of their day.









Oh yeah, here's the song for today, really wish I hadn't used the last entries one since it would fit perfectly with this, but here it is: A Better Place, a Better Time – Streetlight Manifesto
