5/22: N3V@R FORG3T. Notwithstanding: 5/22, F*CK Y**H!!!

My OS mania struck yet again, this time not without real tragedy.

I changed over the hard-drive of my primordial Acer (which I drag to work for the particularly-inert Saturday night "Sweet Spot" shifts) from Kubuntu to Crashbang Linux. It's a lovely little beast that comes with a lot of the nifty shit that you have to laboriously install on Ubuntu-family OS's already provided, plus it just looks fuckin' ultraboss.

... & teh hippos got burl'd in t'er tanks.

The dark side to this happy tale?

In the process of puddling about with the Crunchbang .iso file I thought it'd be jolly horrorshow to add it to my main laptop as well ... & hilarity was NOT what ensued. My ineptitude with partitioning led to the sad scenario where my external HD got ganked via pissing about with RAID arrays & such sundry ugliness that inevitably transpires when you stubbornly insist on doing a full-bore DIY install, even though you know fucking well you're more or less a blithering nitwit in the realms of everything to do with actual hands-on Computer Science.

A 500 mother-loving gigabyte drive: pooched.
The grim reality:

Pornogeddon.

Years of patient meticulous accretion of prurient libido-nutrients, all instantly & unknowingly gone, like adorable butt-naked sand through the hourglass of time. Needless to say I've been steadfastly gleaning what surviving residuum I can from my collection of thumb drives ... but the losses have been as heinous as they are sudden.  Merely contemplating the net attrition of Ariel Rebel (gee, that could just possibly be NSFW) videos causes my Inner Child to speedload its Pampers with a vengeance ... & the lovely lady voted "Montreal's Most Sexy" is but one MIA among many.

How I know my OS rabies is dire is that ... despite my grief ...

LOL, I REGRET NOTHING.

PS: Because of Crashbang's defaults this here is my first ever post submitted on the sexeh Iceweasel browser.

My Victory Over Windows XP - Let Me Show You It.

Eight years.

Eight years of viral paranoia ... eight years of watching that lying motherfucking progress bar crawling - or just as often, straight-up frozen like a bloody mammoth in a glacier ... eight years of molasses-velocity boot-ups & command response ... eight years of knowing that I paid WAAAAAAAAAY too much for teh warez in my otherwise adequate Acer.

Four years of giving up in total humiliation & just ignoring it completely in favour of a new model once it became so unreliable & torpid that it was a ticket to more pain than utility every time I powered it up. But it still sat there the whole time, mocking me with its utter uselessness, like a scoreboard reading "Computer-1, Human-0."

Can't bear to use Apple software - I know it's sexy stuff but I find it both painfully abstruse & much too cute for its own good - so I guess I just have to grin & bear it ... I mean, you can't fight City Hall Microsoft, right?

WRONG.

Happiness Is A Warm Pangolin.

I may be a dipshit when it comes to computers, but I'm nothing if not a stubborn one: after numerous failures, today I finally got the poor old critter to install 12.04 LTS without a hitch. It's running now even as I type.

Escape From Beneath The Planet Of Revenge Of Son Of All Hail Teh New Flesh Ahoy!

Hmmmmmm. Maybe I should stop at TWELVE available Desktop Environments ... especially when the brand spanking new Cairo Dock DE's let me get my machine to look as bare-bones as I want it:

OHHHHH BABY.

If loving this crazy shit like an only child is wrong, I never want to be right again.

ASSIMILATION COMPLETE. RESISTANCE IS IMPOSSIBLE. YUM.

Meaningful Ironic Facepalm Ahoy!

Revenge Of Son Of All Hail Teh New Flesh Ahoy!

Ahh yes ... it seems the mutation process is proceeding according to plan .....


 

A few posts back I frothed mythopoetic upon the topic of my brand new OS, remarking in a comment that Ubuntu is actually in a functional sense not one OS but FIVE ... different session systems are available, two Ubuntus & three GNOMEs.

As of today, I've pimped up that number to seven.

Of my two new newly-hatched spawn, I think I like Xubuntu the best ... but it's not as if I have enough real experience to make a worthy judgement call this soon. They're a (perhaps interdependant?) tag-team - I went for Xubuntu & got Xfce thrown in along with it - & they're both stripped down & faster alternatives to Ubuntu that run over its original core.

RUN NERDGASM.EXE

Autonomous Ethos Ahoy!

Note that the collorary statements can serve both as descriptors of & as rational guidelines derived from the interaction of the core values.

This ethics resembles a fractal.
Its output does not.

All Hail Teh New Flesh Ahoy!

SUDDENLY, A WILD OPERATING SYSTEM CHALLENGER APPEARS!

Runs like a racecar, makes virus coders cry & turn emo, heaps of bitchen apps along with a legendary range of possibilities if one were ever to become ambitious enough to go Full Skript-Kiddie ............. & it doesn't cost a motherfucking dime.

Nearest I've come to a problem with it is thinking I (or it) had completely ganked the audio ... I apparently popped it off by opting for a digital sound format - I presume it's an analog audio OS by default, which sounds just hunky-dory to me.

* Just cold logging in to some fresh Ubuntu all up in it *

Recycled Turbid Cuntpasta Ahoy!

My response to Mike Adams & Gina Miller:

Yes, surely there’s no way a mere neuroscience Ph.D. undergrad could, say, systematically build up an arsenal & sundry chaos-warez over time, simultaneously planning his dastardly deeds down to the last detail. Unpossibleness! IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB SHEEPLE.

Note that the oxygen for this batshittery is the FBI’s long legacy of propping up nasty people or even actively aiding them to blow shit up real good. Also that, despite what you might think, insecure/paranoid people ask a lot FEWER useful questions about what’s going on behind closed doors in matters of state.

"Okay…I’ll get plenty of shit for saying this, but…

They are peasants. Pure and simple. Despite historical access to knowledge and opportunity to participate meaningfully in shaping society for the better, the vast majority of humanity still wallows in ignorance, fear, and superstition.

I am beginning to suspect that it is physiological."

Television + HFCS + aspartame + trace metals = no use thinkbox no good any more.

Then there’s that whole dodging responsibility thing. Feels gooooooood man.

"Six years ago – when Alex Jones was distributing DVDs of his documentary in New York City – the existence of lunacy like this was proof that THE LEFT WAS CRAZY! Then the black guy gets into office, and suddenly Jones et al go from left-wing lunatics to clear-eyed prophets. No one even acknowledges that the change took place. We have always been at war with Eurasia."

A thesis is floating about the Interwebs that posits that Jones & his fellow DVD-pimps are in reality a FBI/CIA psyop whose predicate is discrediting any citizens who advocate for an open & independant investigation of 9/11.

A similar theory concerning skinhead-friendly hate-jock Hal Turner was seen as pure Tinfoil Sombrero material … right up until the day Turner outed himself as an FBI informant. OOOOPS.

By Jones’ own standards, it is surely highly suspicious that someone so “aware” of the NWO’s evil plots – & so perpetually loquacious about their innermost workings – miraculously remains fit as a fiddle more than a decade after 9/11, even though the ability of the CIA to simulate death by natural causes is common knowledge by now (an ability, by the way, of which they themselves have openly boasted). I suspect Jones has not the slightest qualm about dining out or going on a camping trip because he knows damn well he’s in zero real danger (other than from one of his more bugfuck-crazy fanboys).

It’s worth it to check out Jones’ radio show if you haven’t yet done so – the first thing you notice is that close to half the bloody show is ads, ads, & MOAR ads. Makes one wonder: what kind of person sees everything going to hell & decides that the best course of action in response to this impending horrorshow is “IMA GONNA GET ME A WEBSITE & A RADIO SHOW SO I CAN MONETIZE THAT BITCH TO THE HILT”?

That slide-toward-fascism dollar? That’s a really good dollar right there.
