Friday 11th 54F, overcast but a hint of brightness in the east. Occasionally breezy. Th
ere was a steady, cool breeze in the lanes. Even enough to make me wish for gloves. It remained stolidly grey despite the optimistic forecasts.
Blogger is still broken. New Post doesn't lead to a new post. Just a list of post titles. There is absolutely no indication which blog I am editing. Completely blank! Historically, Blogger could never decide which blog was getting a New Post.
I'd choose a blog and hit New Post on that screen. Then I'd type away and hit Publish. Only to find it was posted on a different blog to the one I only thought I had on the screen and was [hopefully] editing. So then I'd have to copy and paste the "New Post" into the correct blog. Which had issues with any images I'd already added.
Meanwhile, Microsoft keeps releasing badly broken updates to W10. These people are in charge of the World's Internet? Do we deserve this level of terrifying and fallible vulnerability? I takes only one insider to bring the whole edifice crashing down.
Nature abhors a monopoly even more than a vacuum. Though I suppose a monopoly is only a vacuum in the distribution of power to control society. That's why dictatorships are so terrifyingly inefficient. Without competition there is only the power to mismanage. The bright ones see the writing on the wall and quickly move elsewhere. Leaving only the pedants, bullies, sadists and underachievers to fight over their utterly pointless, little empires.
Ultimately the only thing which matters is the customer. Or, hopefully, lots of them. Nobody else pays the wages. Ask yourself how racism and sexism and petty rule making helps the customer? Politicooze is the same. All about gaining their little bit of power. The desperate need to feel self important. Regardless of anything [or anybody] else. The customer [voter] is completely forgotten in the jostle for the dwindling seats to be the centre of attention. The gravy train leaves the station and never returns until the next, inexorable round of musical chairs.
