Behaving unlike most birds

EY, yo! Mr. Green!

Well, Mr. Green or just “Green” is a new name for the green-eyed bird, which came here sick and damaged almost a month ago.

We’ve since then brought Mr. Green into a better but not yet optimal shape. Mr. Green is very thin, the legs seem a bit frail, and one eye is partly shut (it was probably injured by another bird and a green hue remains). Judging by feather and other factors, however, it made a miraculous recovery.

Mr. Green is not even remotely afraid of me. I have the opposite problem. Mr. Green wants to jump on my hands and stay there. If I push it away, Mr. Green will jump on the other hand. With a door open, Mr. Green will try to walk to my feet like a cat, even if I say “no” and push back.

Maybe it’s better to accept this is my pet and adopt it like a parrot, then wash up afterwards.

The joke that goes around is, Mr. Green reckons we saved his life.

Durian has a similar attachment, but it’s nowhere as intense.

When broligarchs run elections

here is an election coming up in the US. “Decisions [are] outsourced to the highest bidder(s),” a friend has told me, wherein “One dollar : one vote…”

“Elections become auctions, just the way the broligarchs like it. The nations have to choose either millionaires/billionaires/trillionaires or a democracy…”

“Business friendly government” is code for government that gets bribed or compromised to outsource common-wealth to few external actors (sometimes for kickbacks). It is a form of plunder. It’s sold as “jobs”.

In Techrights this was covered in passing under:

• ‘Broligarchs’ Don’t Want Science, They Want Entertainers to Entertain Them (and Make Them Richer)
• Wikipedia – Funded by Slop-pushing Companies and ‘Broligarchs’ – Gave Benefit of the Doubt to Slop, Then Regretted It
• How Can the ‘Broligarchs’ Love Us When They Don’t Even Love Themselves?
• Broligarchs Speech-Policing, Faux ‘Community’ or ‘Hub’ in ‘User-Driven’ Clothing
• What is “Computer Science”? It is What Broligarchs Reject.

And I’m just passing time with our animals until then

ast night the young birds stayed until it was rather dark. I think their biological clock or instincts are maladjusted. They eventually both flew away – at the exact same time – after 6:40PM.

Today it’s a sunny day, well suited for a round of feeding in the park (in the late afternoon) and I urgently need to find a heating body for my fish tank, otherwise the tetras will need to move to Rianne’s tank, which can be warmed up.

I’ll have a good look this morning at the Sunday Market.

The nights are getting cold and sometimes the days too (with gusty winds that make it chilly). We are, after all, just weeks away from Halloween.

We are now 4 weeks away from Techrights@20 (anniversary), so we need to give a thought to plans. It needs not be anything expensive or extravagant, just special.

In a way it’s hard to believe 20 years have passed since I began writing in Techrights. 20 years is two decades or about half my lifetime!

I’ll need to liaise with other Techrights people and figure out how we can collectively mark the milestone.

Maybe Techrights can introduce some major new feature?

Two issues

he blogger Ruben Schade, who says he’s an “aspiring human” that’s “into retrocomputing”, has had bouts of depression. He was being trolled online. I spoke to him about this in past years and I think it made him feel better. He regularly blogs about his everyday life, not just about Tech (or tech), and he promotes BSD and GNU/Linux.

“I think I’m done with the Raspberry Pi,” he wrote some days ago. I can relate. My wife sold her Raspberry Pi some years ago and I stopped using mine 2 years ago. To me, the main issue was the storage; not the cost of it… but the reliability. Running a Raspberry Pi system on a microSD card is a mistake. Even with a high-reputation card maker, the card would barely last a year. I tried about 4 times. Always the same outcome.

I, like Schade, am done with Raspberry Pi.

Seriously.

he skeleton in cow’s skin is lying today. He is chopping off context from a sentence to change the meaning told regarding British law while he’s hiding in America. As a friend put it, “is that fraud or is it perjury or is it contempt of court?”

We’ll soon cover examples wherein the party alleging contempt of court is itself regularly (and many times) in contempt of court.

It relies on us not having the financial means to hold them accountable for contempt of court.

Nobody is above the law, not even law firms.

They are hijacking Americans’ cases, using American money

wo weeks ago the “hired guns” made it known to me what they were truly afraid of. It was the sort of thing that made them ‘pass out’ (seeing what I would cover next). A friend has said this post is “missing reference to restricted boot” and that “without the references, it always looks like a personal spat to newcomers to Techrights”. Having said that, the post is an index of articles that all mention restricted boot. “Please remember,” the friend said, “1) always bring up restricted boot if bringing up [these maters] 2) the article you are writing may be the first that people read on Techrights…”

I explained that GGG are “meat proxies” for whoever stands to benefit from what GGG (“Restricted Boot” Garrett, “Microsoft Plagiarism” Graveley & “Gas The Jews” Lozza) do to me and to my family. A friend says that they are, in effect, like “work gloves” or “catspaws” for someone else. We now know they’re manipulated and used by somebody else. Brett Wilson LLP is either funding this or is being funded to attack me and my family.

Denials of this are not sustainable. That matter was brought up before a judge (by my barrister).

This is why they’ve been dubbed “hired guns”.

Is this country still governed by actual laws?

oday marks a year since a hearing we were not invited to because hired guns tricked a court while breaching Civil Procedure Rules.

This is a topic I’ll be covering one day. It’s definitely in the public interest to know when rules are breached by so-called ‘law’ firms to exploit tragedies and cover up strangulation of women.
