how many of you are already questioning much of the googleable and ungoogleable?

to save the forum staff some time and effort, i have self-censored this further commentary with respect to:
"wbar.tcz bug and fix" and specifically my post there https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,27337.msg175982.html#msg175982

***The Off-Topic rambling...sigh...

i also wanted to point something out, but did not want it within my earlier post.
(yes, i know it is off-topic. but is it _really_ off-topic? if the topic is "how_to_fix" _thing(s)_ and for decades we have been able to _search_ the web for _real_ answers, whereas now we must second-guess and question _everything_ including any/all proposed/supposed _solutions)
(yes, even further OT as i do a _rainman_ https://www.looper.com/362539/the-untold-truth-of-rain-man/ with respect to "proposed/supposed" https://wikidiff.com/proposed/supposed argh!)

with respect to the first url in my prior post, it is almost 11 years old so there is a much better chance that it has not been tainted by any/some _hysterical_ai_nonsense_ (YET!?!)

but it is probable that the larger web will become unsearchable with respect to actual/factual/_real_and_NOT_ai_hallucinations_ in the near future

even now, the general public is massively bombarded with fakes/photoshops/deep-fakes/dis-information/mis-information/ai-hallucinations with every screen-swipe and/or mouse-click

am reminded of the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984 and the fact that our future may well necessitate an entity similar to Snopes where _EVERYTHING_ online must be physically fact-checked by humans using physical books/documents/notes/papers/videos/etc(if they even exist at all in some future dystopian hellscape)

sharing is caring

has anyone else ever brought this up on the forum(granted we are in unchartered waters...at least with respect to the hive-mind-collective-that-is-the-world-wide-web)? _trust_but_verify_(verify-with-who/whom-though?)

and in that respect, TinyCoreLinux is a tremendous breath of fresh air and to be highly commended for resisting the bloat and maintaining the *nix philosophy of do-one-thing-and-do-it-well!

physical books/documents/notes/papers/videos/etc(if they even exist at all in some future dystopian hellscape)

They will exist if we collect them and preserve them. I have a large library in my home. I only buy films on disc. I do occasionally purchase digital music, but only if I can download the files and use them as I see fit. Qobuz (among a few other outfits) works this way.

You don't truly own it if you can't sell it, lend it, trade it, access it whenever you want. This used to be obvious.
