Choice

I hadn’t thought of it that way before but now I do my position on elective death remains unchanged.

“This is the greatest toy ever created. Here lies the secret to all happiness!”

If there is no happiness, if there is no peace, if there is no future or possibility of any sort of satisfaction then why not choose death? And it is the person who decides this, not some advocate, some doctor, some religious believer. And if you are such a person and you do say what they think is wrong then you demean them, you decide that this decision is wrong but others are right? Maybe you should assume 100% of the responsibility for them? No? Shut up then. And if you do, why so cruel?

If we have been given the ability to think and reason why can we not exercise that fully?

Time Machine – useless

Which fuckwit at Apple decided that everyone MUST backup every 60 minutes with Time Machine? Which other fuckwit decided that users are stupid and that giving them a choice is bad? So this pair of complete fuckwits should be shot. Imbeciles of the highest damn order. Yes I know there is software out there that will change this but default behaviours can be utterly crap at times and like just about everything from Apple this too is crap. Fucking useless.

Edit: Ages ago i bought ChronoSync. It has a stack of options, lets me do lots of things and overall I will use a very small set of it’s choices. But what it does really well is step me through, let me check what will happen, reports any errors in a form I can read and understand. It’s a one-time learning curve and with their Support behind it. I used it before and I’m now setting it up. Lots of choices – unlike that crap Time Machine – means I get precisely what I want – unlike that crap Time Machine. This technology should enable me, not cripple me. Chronosync lets me think about what I want. Apple tells me what I want. Chronosync wins. Excellent program.
