Shamestorming, shadowbanning, blacklisting, court of public opinion, the modern day Scarlet Letter
by Hawke published Feb 15, 2019 — filed under:
As more and more people ignore the concepts of freedom of speech, especially speech that is disagreeable (the whole point of freedom of speech, it has never been an issue if the speech is agreeable), the days of the Scarlet Letter and the Mob are increasingly rising once again...

A quick summary list of my proposed solutions to big issues.
Split Personality Career Development, Wants Versus Needs Causing This
by Hawke published Nov 02, 2023 — filed under: , ,
Those who care about me often express their concern with the long hours I am working across multiple career paths (often exceeding 120 hour per week). This has been more because of situational needs than desire, though I have struggled with workaholism since around 1995, and I have always been a hyperactive person, this level of this kind of work is not my nature, but due to necessity...
Stop the Insanity! Fear is the mind killer. Pan-epi-panic-demic
by Hawke published Mar 23, 2020 last modified Oct 10, 2021 10:53 AM — filed under: ,
I am part of the immuno-compromised, and have been for many years, and especially with significant lung damage and on immune suppressing inhaled steroids, etc. Every day I run the risk of a pathogen killing me quickly causing me to drown in my own fluids. I have also worked in healthcare on and off since 1990. I am all for good hygiene, but everyone needs to de-escalate the disproportionate response in their over-reactivity. Adapt good healthy habits that should always have been there in the first place. Stop listening to the conjecture-based hype and focus on the actual data-supported reality, OVER TIME. Remember the data is lacking for years, proper studies take yeas before any real conclusions can be nailed down. Better yet, quit focusing on what you have no control over, and do focus on what you do have control over, that will help down-regulate your fear response, which will help your immune system, and reduce the disruption to societies normal functioning.
Struggling to dual boot install Q4OS Centaurus alongside Windows 10 on Dell XPS 15 9575 2in1
by Hawke published Apr 21, 2021 last modified Apr 22, 2021 12:39 AM — filed under: ,
I have been using the previous version of q4os for about a year, very happily on my Dell XPS 15 2-in-1. I started having issues and found the the Samsung 970EVO was failing, so backed up everything, and with a hardware cloning device copied to a fresh matching SSD. The Windows side booted right up, but I couldn't get q4os to boot. This was last week. I have since completely wiped all the q4os partitions, etc. in frustration, and have been trying to get just a basic dual-boot install working. The install runs fine, but on boot I get the grub> prompt. Try as I might, I cannot get the grub setup to work on this system. I am logging my battle to get this working here, in the hopes that it may help others in the future.
The TSC Fiasco
by Hawke published Aug 26, 2016 last modified Aug 26, 2016 11:45 AM
In 2000, I turned down IBM & Pacific Bell to accept a position as Senior Principal (Junior VP) for a publicly traded company known as "Technology Solutions Company" (TSC), but due to a single HR person with a warped view of things, it was very short lived. This posting sums up my perspective on the events around what I call "The TSC Fiasco"...

US DOJ forms new "Domestic Terrorism" unit to go after anyone with "anti-authority ideologies"

Hello Orwell! Bow to your authoritarian masters and do not question or use "questionable" language. You will be assimilated. Resistance will be punished. All your base are belong to us.
Was going to college worth it? Was it the best approach for Therapeutic Recreation / Recreational Therapy (TR / RT), Music Therapy (MT), Research Psychology, & Neuroscience?
by Hawke published Mar 21, 2018 last modified Mar 21, 2018 10:19 AM — filed under: ,
For me, it turns out it was probably a huge waste of time and money. For others? Well, that is going to depend on the person...
What Has Happened to Mail Delivery Drivers?
by Hawke published Feb 01, 2022 — filed under: ,
We have been having a terrible time getting any of our deliveries lately. Apparently this isn't so much a staff shortage or other supply issues, apparently it is a generational/age issue...
