Microsoft/Windows. I swear I've uninstalled Microsoft Teams at least 4 different times now. It's like a disease that just keeps coming back, I assume through Windows updates. I hate you, Microsoft.

I've gone over to Linux and not looked back, on all future PC's I'll either be using Debian or Ubuntu. Microsoft doesn't want people having control over the very thing they paid for, and as more apps are being moved over to the app store, you are now required to create an online account just to download and use certain apps, if you lose access to your account for whatever reason you have to start your collection all over again.

After some time of figuring it out I managed to create screenshots no problem on my Raspberry Pi 5 system, surprisingly it was easy to do with a software called grim, print screen key, as it should be and it does it instantly as well, on Windows 11 because screenshots use the Gamebar feature, there is a delay, and because of copy protection you are essentially blocked from it working on certain occasions, like when I attempted to make a screenshot from My Little Pony the movie for use as my desktop background.

Windows is garbage.

That things were worse than we thought on the deadly Titan Sub disaster.

I'm not mad about ditching Microsoft by going over to Debian, I am only disappointed about the Windows only apps that will not work on Linux without some workaround or emulation. Good thing I purchased a copy of Jriver, because Media Monkey does not work natively on Linux. I know Microsoft has a monopoly on the software compatibility thing, but that is only ever going to change if people show more support for Linux distros. Help the Linux community grow and the rewards for it will come.

Having my net being down when I had a lot of stuff to do this day.   Also dealing with my eldery is not easy...

Today at work, someone left a box full of clothes outside that was too heavy to lift, and it was raining outside which means that the clothes were getting wet.

Once more dealing with some stress

Can relate. Finally managed to get rid of that cursed application fairly recently

People posting photos without giving credit to the people that took them. I’ll often see on Instagram and Facebook uncredited bat photos that I know were taken by one of the sanctuaries or recuse workers I follow. Posting those photos uncredited means taking away attention and potential donations to those sanctuaries and rescuers. I’ll often comment citing who took the photo but it’s not like that matters because they always just get drowned out by the dozens of bot and regular comments.

I always think my parents can’t possibly do anything to make me dislike them even more than I already do. But they always know how to surprise me. I am this close to letting them know what I really think of them if they keep up the behavior today.

Hey, you are a lovely person and you're worthy of love!  Especially from yourself! Give yourself a little grace now and then and remember that you're more capable of things than you think!

Ugh, I'm sorry! That must be really frustrating! If they're really difficult people, I almost wonder if they're worth expressing your feelings too. You're probably better off just distancing yourself from them because snapping at them might just make them think "Oh we're not the bad guys, you are!". This coming from someone who's had to deal with a difficult parent before

I've been pretty positive as of late but I'm really nervous about my Father's Day lunch with my dad.  He's been pretty nice recently but whenever we're in settings like this where we're spending quality time together, he'll usually guilt trip me for not calling him enough or otherwise say something else stupid/worrying.

I think I'm just really traumatized about meetups like this because one time I planned a birthday dinner meetup with him and he just bailed because I was a little bit late and he just had to go play tennis! I always fear deep down that these sorts of plans won't work. It didn't help that Dad waited last minute to tell us the when and where of today's plan.

Father's Day is just awkward for me, too, because my dad hasn't really done much for me and my sister as of late but he's still my dad, so it would be weird to not do anything! I also have to deal with returning my old car to him (it's in his name so I can't legally sell it myself) and I hope he keeps his promise of getting me the money for it. It won't be a lot of money but I still want it so I can put it in savings.

Yeah that’s been the big piece holding me back is like it’s really not going to change anything even if I do

I'm going to see my mom at the local hospital and explain again why she can't come home.

It would help if he looked inward a bit about appreciating you.

I realize there are some definitely not good parents (those that are abusive or selfish), but maybe we just don’t always see how our parents do things for us that aren’t so obvious. Or they just haven’t had the opportunity to do so as much! Less so when we get older. Just some thoughts .

I feel sad when my friends are sad and I can't do anything to help them besides giving them words of encouragement.🙁

Today, I was reminded that with the advancements of technology, old tech is becoming a thing of the past. I got a new camera some days ago due to my old one breaking because I had dropped it one time too many, but it cost me over $400 and I wanted to see if there was something better and more importantly cheaper. Stores don't have much stock and what they do have is too expensive. I'm reminded of just how poor I really am since now I must pay off what I paid.

Interesting...

Part of it is definitely that I don't live with him so our time together is few and far between so in that regard, he is not there as much but that really can't be helped. He has done plenty of things for me before, it's not like he's just completely ignored me my whole life.

I don't remember everything but I had a brief nightmare where my mom and stepdad were arguing and yelling and I took a break from hearing it by swimming in a giant pool we apparently had. The pool was nice but obviously the fighting, not so much.

Finding out the apartment complex where I live has scheduled a treatment for tomorrow that requires me to box up my entire kitchen and bathroom and do some cleaning before I even THINK about going to sleep tonight.

Speaking of which, I better get started ... too much to do... grumble grumble
