Appeal to Kim Jong-un From Western Open-Air Prison

Planet Tokyo Appeal to Kim Jong-un From Western Open-Air Prison Totally jacked off.  That seems to be my default state, more and more. Tried to load my video edit here on Blogger (for like the third consecutive shot), but was unable to do so, as the video is in excess of 200 megabytes and the limit on Blogger is 100 mb or something like that. Wanted to sign up for Yandex, as they have video hosting, I believe.   But Yandex want my phone number. WTF for?  What is this, world-wide totalitarian surveillance in force? Decided it might be a good time to put that throw-away mobile phone voucher to use, at last.  I was supposed to use it to sign back onto the Twitter account I've been shut out of, but I have an aversion to being held to ransom for my phone number, and I've an aversion to censorship in general, so I'm not playing with the Twitter assh*les ... and I've shut down the stand-by on principle, although I'm sometimes tempted to sign on again ... but there's a whole other story in that.  It looks as though I cannot sign up for the Twitter FRAUD & CENSORSHIP lies and propaganda promoting corporate and overnment controlled public communication 'social media' platform without giving them a phone number, which I won't do. So, anyway, I think to myself, why not put that throw-away SIM to use and sign up for the Yandex video hosting, so I can get my video edit up online, without having to put it through YouTube, which I'm not fond of hooking up to, along with anything else to do with Google and their data-sucking scams.  It's bad enough that I'm here.  I really should be on Russia's VK, or somewhere.  But maybe I'd be too radical for the Russians?  LOL Yandex seemed the shot for video hosting, and I really don't care what information Russians have.  I'd sooner be spied on by Russians than Google, so I thought I'd give it a shot. It appears that I live in a totalitarian open air prison. Tried to validate the pre-paid SIM card I had, so that I could sign up for Yandex and upload my video.  But validating the pre-paid card is no go without providing a massive amount of personal data:  name, address, phone number, e-mail, and formal identification numbers (such as medical number, licence number, passport number and so forth). The card *is* pre-paid.  As such, I would argue that the telecommunications provider  is breach of contract by accpting consideration while subsequently denying service.  Where are the lawyers?  How about a big class action claim, ambulance chasers?  Where the f*ck is my service and why should I provide all this personal data, as if I were under arrest? At the end of the day, it's not like I'm not traceable.  I did not bother to VPN or to TOR, so it's not like I cannot be found if I must be found.   That being so, what the f*ck is this totalitarian prison camp demand for all this PRIVATE data, just to be able to set up a phone number on which to get verification codes to activate video hosting and social media accounts on an anonymous basis, rather than giving my private data on a platter to those that simply do not need my personal data, or to hackers (in due course). Tried to put through the pre-paid SIM on a totally phony basis, which drove me up the wall, trying to make up names, a fake birthday, having to set up a throw-away e-mail, having to search for a phony street address, having to make up a fake telephone contact number, and, finally, having to devise a fake driver's licence number. It does my head in just making up one creative anonymous user-name for things, let alone all the faking and note-taking involved in that exercise, so that I could keep track of the garbage I was making up. It turns out that you can't even set up a fake account to activate your PRE-PAID SIM because these communications carrier kapo have a direct link to what is government information and soon reject fake formal verifiable IDs, although they accepted my fake look-up address as 'verified'.  LMAO The solution, then, would be just to make up an account using real data of a real person, but I'm not up for entering into ID theft or whatever that would constitute. As criminals would have no such qualms, what exactly is the point of the government raping ordinary citizens who simply want privacy?  What's going on here?  Why are we in prison?  I just wanted to upload my 'Samurai Project' video to Yandex video hosting, on an anonymous basis ... well, as anonymous as you can be without bothering to mask one's ISP address. Once done, I couldn't delete my fake e-mail account, because the controls aren't obvious in the Russian service I used.  What's wrong with site designers?  Why would they make it hard to find a 'delete account' button and leave their service full of fake and disused e-mail addresses? Intended to delete and then to set up something a bit more sensible than the fake account I sort of just bashed out off the top of my head, but now I'm too frazzled to cope with more fake names for anonymous accounts that aren't really anonymous, and I don't fancy being stuck with an ugly sounding e-mail or Russian social media account name. North Korea or China ought to help us Western prisoners out by hosting fully anonymous services for Westerners that are sick of being spied on and private data raped.  C'mon, Kim, stick it to the US-Anglo prison warders.  LOL As I've skipped a night's sleep engrossed in more video editing, I'm not feeling so good after the video upload saga, followed by the SIM card activation citizen prisoner's nightmare.  I'm really wired, in a very unpleasant way. I'm supposed to cook, but I don't know how I'll get on doing that.  Aside from being extremely wired, I'm sort of zombied out and too agro to really want to, even though I must. This sounds strange, but it also sounds rather appealing to me:  we're having Rissoles in Stroganoff Sauce.  If I can get my sh*t together enough to make it.    We're arguing now, because I'm being hassled to cook and I'm not quite done.  The parting shot to me was:  "I hope you get arrested."   No solidarity among prisoners here.  LOL Wonder if closed prisons have faster internet?

Yandex

Yandex Yandex Start Page (Russian Version) Later discovered there's an English version, so the manual translations and alphabet look-up was a waste of time (but fun) ...  ;) Don't know why Ubuntu didn't give me a choice re download version (ie English or Russian) and why I can't set up the English version in the search engine preferences. ---------------------- ---------------------- COMMENT Still messing around with search engines. Wanted something different to the standard engines. Chose Yandex because I have some hope of reading Russian, whereas I'd be totally lost looking at, say, Chinese.  Plus, I especially like the Russians.  Legacy of Boris and Natasha cartoon programming?  LOL After spending pretty much the whole day messing around with Russian Yandex, I've found that there's an English version ... I think. Hard to explain.  I'm not where I was.  Thought I found an English version before system crashed for the millionth time, and before I gave up (for the time being). Spent the day doing nothing.  It's freaking me out how much time has passed while I've done nothing but crash and look up the occasional Russian word, flip from search engine to search engine, uninstall and re-install, fiddle with finding Linux commads to remove and to reinstate what I'd removed etc.   It's insane how much time has gone and I've done nothing.  But I've learnt to find the name of programs on Linux, in order to purge (which is a plus) ... but the purge didn't seem to work.  When I reinstalled etc, all my imported bookmarks were there and I could even access the tabs prior to the last crash, so that was no purge.  Don't know what went wrong. I'm back in Firefox for the time being, because the PC has crashed about a million times playing with Yandex, and I can't take any more.   Tried to find a method of figuring out what's wrong in Ubuntu but it's too complicated for me.   I'm not up for simulated crashes or post-crash analysis.  I was hoping for something simple.  As in REALLY simple.  It's taken me forever just to figure out how to re-enable cookies on Firefox so that I can get on here, because f#%$@ Google won't let me on unless I enable. Yandex is described the world's fourth-largest search engine.  Has a substantial market share on its home turf  (plus regional) and is a competitor to the invading Google. Frustrated a little by not being able to specify the ENGLISH version of the site in the list of search engine options -- and being unable to list any more search engines, after having added in DuckDuckGo.  Not sure if they have a search engine list limit, or if I was just doing something wrong. It's fun playing with the Russian version, but not being able to read Cyrillic script is a drawback -- it becomes a hassle of either trying to manually translate or do alphabetical look-ups to get a clue (when you can't use copy & paste).  Very tiring.  But it's unnecessary:   as I said, there's an English version. Although I've look at Cyrillic script a little here and there, and I've tried to remember the alphabet, it was a pretty slack effort on my part. As in, I looked a couple of times & didn't practice to recognise the script with ease. So I've gone back and revisited the unfamiliar letters of the alphabet, in the hope of getting more comfortable being in a Russian online environment.   I'm good as long as I have an alphabet cheat-sheet. The symbol that stands out for me is the 'D' that looks like a funny 'A' shaped house on stilts ... which is a good fit, because house is:   дом , the perfect memory aid. There's lots of rules regarding the sounds, but I don't care about the rules.  I'm not looking for precision.  I just want to be able to recognise basics, like 'карта' for 'karta' which means 'map' or 'maps'.  'карта' also means 'card'. There's French from Latin derivatives in English that go back to Greek, so I'm going to guess that maybe the Russian skips the Latin and goes straight to the Greek (Byzanntine, perhaps?) ... which in turn goes back to possibly early Greek and Egyptian (re 'karta'), but otherwise Greek is associated with Phonetician (I think). Briefly looked at Yahoo (UK), as I wanted to search an English site for quick further info. Imagine ludicrous social engineering propaganda combined with a smorgasbord of the crass, bizarre and perverse, that includes a Tesco upskirt pervt, and you have the British version of Yahoo: Has Yahoo always been so appalling? Russian news (translated by Google) via Yandex was an oasis of sanity: The UN Security Council is a joke:  it's always blocking anything the US oligarchy and its accomplices want blocked. Not sure if this will show up.  Video's weren't publishing.   Казачий ансамбль "Братина" Cossack ensemble "Bratina" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw1tWUNI2cA&nohtml5=False Between numerous crashes, looked at the following for fun: cartography -- map (or chart) making fm.
