SUNDAY DEVOTION

 The hits on my www.sift.co.nz blog are varying up and down each day from lows of around 500, to highs of over 2000. Much as I like to try to work out the patterns of things, this has got me totally stumped. I'm starting to think it has bugger all to do with what I post and may be the result of larger forces beyond my understanding.

 
Sort of like religion. So is God is determining how many hits my blog gets?. I wonder if God likes lolpics? It's Sunday today, so as an act of religious devotion directed towards the deity of blogs, I'll post some spiritual lolpics. 

MICROSOFT HAVE REALLY LOST IT

 They lost it decades ago, but everything aligns at this point to see this scumbag company finally meet the end they deserve. 

While most people meekly put up with Windows 10 even though it was utter crap, Windows 11 has finally overstepped a line, and millions of ex Windows 10 users are now refusing to downgrade to Win 11.

Windows 11 is the massive push that Linux needed and is ready for. Apparently over a million Windows users have already downloaded Linux Zorin 18 since it was released in October. 

I switched from Windows 7 to Linux Mint, and I would never go back to Microsoft. That switch from Windows to Linux Mint is becoming an increasingly popular path this year since Microsoft pulled support for Win 10.

We are now at a point where some Linux desktop systems are really cool, while Windows has hit an all time low that it's very unlikely to ever recover from.

For non geek ex Windows users, my own recommendations are Linux Mint or Linux Zorin. But there are many other Linux options to choose from - learn more about them on Distro Watch. 

 

Linux Mint is like a modernised Windows 7, while Linux Zorin is more like a stylish Windows 10.

 

HANG IT FOR TREASON

 I already have an entire image gallery dedicated to this murdering psychopath, but here is a new one of it!

I'M QUITING VIDEO

Having been feeling quite seedy for the past week or so, I've spent more time than usual lying around looking at stuff on my tablet and laptop.

I've already given up on all social media except for YouTube and Facebook, and I never use my phone for anything to do with the internet. So I'm not a typical phone connected online video addict.

I was stunned to learn that there are people actually paying US$13.99 a month for "YouTube Premium", presumably to avoid seeing ads. I never see any ads on YouTube, simply because I view it using Brave browser with U-Block origin ad blocker installed - it really isn't that difficult!

But there really do seem to be be numpties forking out NZ$300 a year because they are too clueless to find out how to block ads on YouTube. Mind boggling...

 
It only takes about 10 seconds to install an ad blocker...

Often the best way to quit an unhealthy addiction is to do it heaps and get totally sick of it. I don't remember videos being quite this diabolical, but like most things, they seem to have hit new lows in 2025. 

 

I'm at the point where if I hear the words "like" or "insane" only another 400 times I may go completely spastic.

 I generally find most of them totally unwatchable within about 30 seconds, and very seldom seem to find any really worth watching.

So although it may mean missing out on some helpful info, from now on I'm going to run a tighter ship, and pretty much avoid looking at videos. 

I already do that on Facebook anyway, but I'm pretty much going to stop looking at Youtube altogether because it's mostly totally lame and it rapidly becomes a mind numbing waste of time. 

I want to read well presented written information with pictures, and listening to tossers rambling on endlessly is a terrible way to try and absorb any information.

There are a bunch of things I'm already doing my all out best to totally avoid, such as AI, Microsoft, and Fudporn. Today I'm adding videos to my avoid list.

 

FEAR THE TRUTH

In Wellington today the high court locked the public out of the Barry Young hearing that would expose the truth about the death jabs because they fear the truth...

"Barry Young, who leaked anonymized New Zealand health data showing the COVID vaccines were killing people, goes on trial on Dec 11, 2025 in the Wellington District Court at 9am. Please come there and support him!!! This is a pre-trial hearing (judge alone).

Barry Young faces charges under section 249 of the Crimes Act 1961 for dishonestly accessing or using a computer system (specifically, for leaking COVID-19 vaccination data). He faces a maximum sentence of 7 years in prison for his “crime” of warning the public about the serious dangers of the COVID vaccine.

He basically made public health data public without violating anyone’s privacy. For that, they want to imprison him for 7 years, even though no one was harmed.

This is because making public health data public can only lead to better health outcomes because if you don’t do that, nobody can analyze the data to learn the truth.

It’s criminal to actually expose public health data to the public. It has to remain secret to protect the vaccine makers and no analysis should ever be done by the public health officials. We are all expected to trust the science and it is forbidden to actually verify that the science was done right."

Under endlessly geoengineered skies a crowd of supporters stood outside today, but the hearing was closed to the public. This whistleblower case is being watched from all around the world.
