#GoodMorrows: It's crackly thursday, and yesterday's battle with #Vodacom continues. You call the customer service that calls itself Upgrade/Cancellation department. You tell them the whole story, they ask a squekload of security question which I can understand, supposedly to prevent fraud, but they are fraudsters themselves. Then when all these questions are done, they ask you why you want to cancel, and no matter which answer you give, the only answer they give is, let me help you with a different contract. We don't want a contract, we want to cancel because we can't afford your contracts and we don't like your auto-expiration of data after 30 days even if no data was used. That we didn't tell them but it's one of the reasons we want to route to CapitecConnect instead, because airtime and data can be set not to expire. They give an expiry date option, and you can click on never, and it doesn't expire. Anyway, they said they'll put us through to the cancellation department, and then they dropped the call. I thought they were the upgrade/cancellation department, so what other cancellation department now again, and then again a load of security questions for nothing. People, if you make use of #Vodacom or #MTN services in this country, be aware that cancellation is no longer an option. They make as if it is, but the contract you sign will bind you for life. You will never get out of it until the day you die, and after that, your children, **if you have any** which I don't, will still be bound to said contract. If you can avoid signing any contract with a mobile service provider or even an ISP in #SouthAfrica, avoid it like the plague it is. You cannot cancel, they'll just try to offer you cheaper solutions, but in this case, should my mom die at some point, as she's the main holder of this contract, then suddenly I'm in legal trouble because I can't pay said contract simply because I have not the account information. Crackly thursday, MurderousMarch, and cheating organizations is what the world has come to. That, is what capitalism gave you in the long run. The rich live off the spoils of the middle-class and poor, and they don't give a fuck because they have monopoly over you, either through some or other contract on your mobile service, or your internet service, or if you use other squekery, know that you're bound for life. That is all! Now I'll go away. Wexsi and my Jumbo quails give me much more joy than this lying, stealing, murdering, cheating world can. At least I'm only responsible for their food and water, and some care. But the end result is that we all get what we need. I get some lovin' from my pets, they get regular foodstuffs and petting from me. Mutual trust. No murdering, cheating, or lying. Dogs are the most honest things in the world, and with them it's only yes or no. There's no maybe, or perhaps. I have 3 cats, but their purpose is to kill snakes and rats on the farm...and I wouldn't know if a cat can be dishonest as I don't get much to do with them. Anyway, try to have fun on an electric sparking Thursday, in the middle of murderousMarch. See you whenever. I have no idea whenever that might be. I don't currently have work to do so I don't see the reason to remain at the pc...just going back to bed. Maybe I can fall under a rock and never hear anything about the world again. Forget about radio/tv/internet/whatever other squek there is...throw mobile phones into the pit of hell where they belong.

#GoodMorrows on Wednesday, 11 march, 2026. What would I say. Only that I'll be glad to see my lady friend on Saturday. Nothing much to look forward to in this world we live in lately. Perhaps grateful that I still have breaths to take that is relatively clean, being that I'm on a farm, not in the city, but that's about all. Humancruel is at war with itself on several fronts, not in South Africa yet, but I don't expect we will remain quite as free as we are now. Oh, there are war of sorts between different parties but that's just political squek as there has been for the last 32 years. What's new. Soon enough the idiot duck will probably turn his face this way, as he has done with Nigeria, not too long ago. So yes, hope for the best and pray for the rest seems rather pointless to me at this point. One will live relatively free for as long as one has freedom of sorts, but I'm expecting it mightn't be too long before #Trump turns his attention this way. Furthermore, life is life...and whatever that means to you, may not mean the same to me, but we're still all human, so personally I think we should leave one another alone to simply exist, but that's again, my opinion, and might not be yours. To me, at least, human being isn't human doing. Live and let live. Be and let be. But apparently we're incapable of just being, and letting be. Anyway, try to have a wonderful Wednesday, if Wednesdays like these can be wonderful in any way.

#GoodMorrows on Tuesday, 10 march, 2026. If I had to be a news addict like my stepdad or my uncle, I'd die. I have no idea how you can even stand watching people murdering people for the simple fact they don't like said people on basis of race/religion/whatever else. Leave people be. Everyone is as human as you are. All of them have different thoughts, different belief structures, different cultures, and so on. Let them do what they do. But we like to harm one another because one country is doing something the other country doesn't like, or that the other country believes may cause the destruction of humancruel. Why they even call us humankind is above me, we're not kind at all. Some are, but they're in the minority. Michelle and marius the whole day, Alexa, news from CNN, news from Fox news, News from Roiters...News from here, news from there. When do you get enough of murder? Because that's all these wars are. Murder! And the man responsible for all this junk isn't taken to prison and executed for causing unwanted trouble. He wants to be supreme leader, and he'll probably get it right too. Stepdad tried to prevent me from walking out of the tv room when he watched the news events on the war in Iran, I simply said this makes me unhappy so I refuse to listen further. His argument is, this is far from us, it doesn't affect us. And what if Donnald Trump's next target is South Africa because he doesn't like Cyril Ramaphosa, and he has already in the past said our politicians are clowns? Then it's not so far removed any more. You think because it's happening in the middle-east trump will stop there? I don't think he'll ever stop. Not unless he is imprisoned, electricuted or hanged. Yes again murder, which I can't stand, but this guy is causing chaos where it isn't needed. The guy from Israel should also be lifted from his seat of power, and done away with. What now about the peace agreement in Gaza, does the same not apply for Lebanon? Again, leave people be, let them run their countries the way they like. It's not your business to try and make other countries governments the way you want them to be. Maybe you're one of the powerhouse economies in the world, and maybe you have 50 states under one name, but I don't think you should be capable of doing such things. Forcing Israel to sign a peace agreement to stop their things in Gaza, then shifting focus to Iraan, and let the same Israel that you stopped from destroying Gaza, to now attack Lebanon. Two-faced sons of bitches you are. That's all. Anyway, enjoy your murderous tuesday, because this is murderous March after all. I thought to be positive, but the news addicts have broken that desire. Thankss for causing me a sleepless night, but anyway...I'm done now.

#GoodMorrows: I have no idea what goes on here. I'm at GlenAustin in Midrand. If I log into Teamtalk, I can access the internet no problem. Then I start one of the Mastodon clients, and it maybe runs for 2 minutes, then starts giving all kinds of errors, so let's see if this will actually go through this time, because using a hotspot for here where I stay at my mom's place is no stable wifi, the rest of the farm has, just not where I live.

#GoodMorrows on Thursday, 5 April. Crackly thursday again, is it? So far it's not looking to crackly yet. A sort of note to self, don't install Gemini on Seika 16 Plus Mini2 notetakers. Android13 does not have the processing power Gemini needs. You'll end up prolonging the time your device needs to boot up. Lesson learned late yesterday night/early this morning, at 2:23am to be exact, but anyway. Still learning what can and cannot be done with this thing. Until now, have no idea how to doubletap&hold, because there is no touch screen so even talkback's feedback to double-tap to open things is incorrect. The two joysticks helps to swipe up/down/left/right. However, for granularity changes, such as when trying to read by word or character, or changing speech rate, I still don't know how to do those, and the manual doesn't seem to be of much help in that regard.

#GoodMorrows: Today is 4 march, 2026. Exactly a month after my...whatever that was...the psychologist said it was an anxiety atttack most likely, I think it was sort of a mental breakdown...anyway, feeling much better, except for my stomach having kept me awake from 3:30 this morning, probably ate something weird last night, but if I remember right, last month/4feb stomach was also squeked...so I'm hoping this is not related to last month's attack. Anyway, was told columbus is restructuring yesterday evening, and retrenchment is on its way, but they want me to continue working as consultant...meaning they would contact me if they needed CVs to be put in PlacementPartner, or if they needed searches done. It's the mid-way. The money would likely not be as much as I get now, but I'll be working on my own again, like when I was working for Kanimambo Computing in 2008/2012. This means I can do other online remote support/technical work, or even helpdesk which is more in my interest, but I can also do it on my own terms. If you need me to do stuff, you pay me, else you leave me out of your squek. That sounds like basic or au3 instructions for computers. <Function> If Tehiverse/sozhami is needed for work, contact them at redacted number/email, else leave them be. <endFunction> Means I won't completely be unemployed, just under less strict rules than I was for the last 6 months.
