all of this functionality to control computers remotely via windows is not a bug, it's a feature.

and, it is, actually, because you're supposed to be running an image on a network, and the security work is supposed to be done by the router. i've taken the courses. yes, i'm taking the piss, but it is actually true.

that's what i was saying about buying fancy routers. if you want a safe windows pc, there's no way around it - you have to wall yourself off. you'll never lock people out using local security; the os is designed for easy access by network admins. it's entirely on purpose.

that's why i spend so much time cutting all of the functionality out of the machine, and why i'm stuck dealing with all of these bluescreens and hangs.

i actually think i've been dealing with some passive hacking for a rather long time. up until recently, i was able to mostly deal with it. but, they've picked it up, and have become somewhat relentless. 

i just need to reiterate that there is no purpose to this besides distracting me, but because i'm spending so much time waiting, the thing that's suffering is the art. i am continuing to find time to rant, because i'm spending hours watching bytes fly across the screen.

these kinds of tactics have never been successful, at any point in history. all i actually want is the time and resources to finish my discography, and i really think it's time for people to start caving, in looking at universal incomes more seriously.

a universal income will not stop me from ranting on the internet. but, nothing is going to accomplish that. what a universal income will do, though, is change my perspectives, as i'm ranting.

writers write. artists create. you can no more shut me up than you can convert a tiger to vegetarianism; it's what i am, and what i'll be until i keel over. but, if i had less things to complain about..
