Jan. 13th, 2026 04:57 pmIt's not so much that DW has a lousy search engine, the underlying problem is that nobody uses tags
So when I search "Art", I get a dog's breakfast of anything but what I asked for
Ain't that the problem with all search engines, translating meaning
Tagging images into words, the internet of things
AI is only as good as our input
Good in, good out
So SEO metatag AI go !!

Livejournal Now Requires Government Sber ID
I've been dancing around coming to Dreamwidth permanently for 10 years now off and on.
Well, this may be the last straw !!
*WTF is Going On?
I was just blocked from my new post on LJ. So I wanted to send an email to tech support to ask why?
When I went to my yahoo acct with which I signed up here on LJ, it wanted authorization verification by using the 6 digit code it sent to my gmail.
When I went to my gmail acct which I use for back up authentification it too wanted authorization verification with the 6 digit code it sent to my yahoo acct.
So, what do you call this? Mexican stand-off. Both request authorization, both are blocking me from viewing either 6 digit code, so both emails are suddenly unaccessible to me.
I went back to my LJ account to see if I am locked out, yet apparently not from existing posts, only from new posts pending. The post that LJ blocked from me was dated to post on Friday. It was a future dated post for Friday for this exact shite I am experiencing. Yesterday I experienced being blocked from comments on Russian posts. So I might as well state what's happening here, in case the whole thing goes dark and I no longer have access to that LJ content.

Yet, everyone still seems able to comment on my feed,
It seems only Russian accounts have been affected
Maybe there is a professional account level for Russian customers to increase content integrity and protect it from spam?
I'm not spam, but I am an unpaid user. Always have been. I don't try to sell anything. Just use it for personal journaling for music art and poetry.
Nor do I barter in Hitcoins
Maybe that's what the change in rules alluded to.
I read it, but nothing it said concerned me except for being made undesirable because of unpaid content?
I don't know. it's still a mystery, but my spidey senses are tingling..
Ha-hah!
I've been here on LJ since 2006. That's a lot of content.
*LJ change in rules
https://ru-news.livejournal.com/80899.html
1165 comments and the page won't allow me to make a comment..
*In plain English
https://www.livejournal.com/support/faq/445.html
Most of my friends keep private journals, they don't rush to the top, which means they don't have Social Credit.
You know what I think?
I believe Russia has just implemented digital ID such as in China did, and American Youtube, etc.
Sber ID
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sberbank
Is this possible?
Russia has had digital ID for a long time now.
There's a government website where almost everyone is registered. It allows you to access many services digitally, remotely: pay taxes, get certificates, make doctor's appointments...
SberID is just one of them; it's a bank first and foremost, and they also have ID.
The changes to LiveJournal don't directly affect some, but if my friends can't comment on my posts, that's just plain wrong!
America is no different, Google has been censoring Youtube from Russian viewers for some time now. Well, here's to you, AI insane.
Youtube has already done what LJ is doing, by monetizing its services
I find less and less use for Youtube
I might just focus my time on bandcamp for music,
maybe even post my voice poetry for sale
I've been on LJ since 2006 without a hitch.
If this persists, I'm going to have to abandon all hope
and go find someplace else to play, but where?
Is the computer even worth using anymore?
A year and soon it becomes outmoded and we need to update systems
This feels like the old world is coming to an end
What a game
Anyway, I like LJ
It allows me to keep track of many things
It is a true journal for some of us
How about you
20 Years of Livejournal : https://pigshitpoet.livejournal.com
15 Years of Wordpress : https://pigshitpoet.wordpress.com
Apologies to all Russian friends, if I am no longer able to reach you.
Suddenly LJ is blocking not just the comments on posts from Russian pages, but also now blocking messager:
403 Forbidden
nginx
Nix!
How do these changes effect you?

I've been on LJ since 2006 without a hitch.
If this persists, I'm going to have to abandon all hope
and go find someplace else to play, but where?
Is the computer even worth using anymore?
A year and soon it becomes outmoded and we need to update systems
This feels like the old world is coming to an end
What a game
Anyway, I like LJ
It allows me to keep track of many things
It is a true journal for some of us
How about you
20 Years of Livejournal : https://pigshitpoet.livejournal.com
15 Years of Wordpress : https://pigshitpoet.wordpress.com
Apologies to all Russian friends, if I am no longer able to reach you.
Suddenly LJ is blocking not just the comments on posts from Russian pages, but also now blocking messager:
403 Forbidden
nginx
Nix!
How do these changes effect you?

May. 15th, 2024 11:19 pmThe Unknowable: An Ontological Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion
by S. L. Frank (Author), Boris Jakim (Translator, Preface)
Via : https://seraphimsigrist.livejournal.com/1383464.html
Frank's entire life was a blissful dream or
contemplation of the Divine All-Unity
The Unknowable : .( Read more... ).by S. L. Frank
He was Russian and Eastern Orthodox but finally of a universal Christian
imagination and mind, formed most I have been told he would say by Plotinus
da Cusa and Lewis Carroll, but his thought drew on the whole range from
Heraclitus to Hegel to Heidegger and not slighting Rilke or Goethe.

And I can't get dreamwidth working to my liking, so WTF? See below for detonation button.
F*ck Google, Fcku Gootube, Fuck the Internet, Fock the World Wide Web
*Fokken ze Industrial Military Medical Media Banking Complex
F*ck Communist China CCP and TikTok 5G Wuhan Virus
F*ck the Ukraine bioweapon labs and human trafficking
Ban fake news CNN (communist news network)
Don't watch on YT, tell Gootube to go to hell..
Fuck Israel Hamas and the Middle East
Joker's Jukebox, Fuck That Noise !!
A night at the Opera, Use Duck-duck-go!
Use VPN and Ad Blocker, or go home
All the old blogs are missing
Nothing works anymore
Fuck ads on YT

Paine
Author: Sir Philip Sidney
When pain can't bless, heaven quits us in despair
It's odd that you can get so anesthetized by your own pain or your own problem
that you don't quite fully share the hell of someone close to you
There is no real evil in life, except great pain; all the rest is imaginary,
which depends on the light in which we view things
When there is pain, there are no words. All pain is the same
Sweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death that takes away pain.
Nothing begins, and nothing ends, That is not paid with moan;
For we are born friends in others' pain And perish in our own
The pain of the mind is worse than the pain of the body
Never a lip is curved with pain That can't be kissed into smiles again.
The pain and hurt which i feel, go as deep as it is real;
It enveloped Rose. She shrieked in pain and stiffened, falling to the floor
This is a fairly straight forward spell to rid yourself of psychic vampires (you'll know if you've got one, trust me!)
You will kneel on your altar
We don't need no music...

Creeping Communism in America and Canada
May. 5th, 2024 02:05 pm"If you ever had the vague sense that Covid relief funding worked in a manner akin to US aid packages in failed Middle Eastern dictatorships, your instincts weren’t wrong." – Brownstone Institute think/tank op-ed
Brownstone Sets The Tone
If you currently have the vague sense that post-Covid America, like the bank raid of 911 that leveled the World Trade Centre, where 20 trillion mysteriously went missing from the Federal Reserve to sponsor the dystopian nightmare of the New World Order we are currently facing under a so called Global Reset, and if you feel that post-Covid is now a little more like a Chinese totalitarian surveillance state than in the Before Times, your instincts are dead-on. Big Brother is laughing at you, all the way to the bank!
First off, there were cases of just outright fraud nearing the $200+ billion mark (the rest is un-trackable) fraud with drug gangs and racketeers collecting Covid unemployment benefits from both the Canada and US governments, with some recipient fraudsters not even having the common decency of being honest Ameri-Canadian fraudsters. In Canada, tax payer money wasted on swaths of useless pharma, excess masking, expensive and ineffective digital passports for tracking of unnecessary restriction of movement, corrupt public corporations enforcing subjective Covid "mandates", including the departments of Justice in both countries backing the farce, the illegal overreach of the Emergency Measures Act enforced under Turdhole; All are indicative of useless waste at the taxpayers expense.
To some it was simply a well-needed expenses paid vacation ending in hyper-inflation, while to others it had life devastating consequences, job loss, bankruptcy, social disorder, family breakup, community shutdown, mental stress, supply line interruption, transportation inflation, cost-of-living hyper-inflation, suicide, death and "unrelated" illness.
Even though there were some legitimate uses of Covid funds that actually counted as legitimate despite being laughably frivolous or clearly unrelated to nominal goals connected to public health or helping communities deal with the economic impact of the virus – or, more accurately, the lockdowns, asymptomatic treatment and useless masking is some of them. If you're suffering from Covid hangover or feel you've been fucked up the bunghole and gang raped by our institutions meant to serve us and those people "in authority" entrusted to public office to help you, you wouldn't be wrong. You've been fucked! Hope you enjoyed the ride... via
