kudos @morrick. I have essentially been unwilling to engage in phone life because of the lockin and limits. Open ecosystems, payments, pricing systems. I haven't been able to bring all my Windows programs to Linux, but I've grown out of them.
I think it was a lot easier to task-switch when everything I did used a different application. Not to mention applications were more performant (after things loaded into memory). /@morrick
@morrick >> This fucking 2021 has been much worse than 2020, much worse than pandemics and lockdowns. My stress levels have reached an unprecedented high, and I just fucking hope 2022 is going to give me a deserved break.
@morrick >> Thankfully the neighbours are friends of the family and will keep an eye on it from their house, and my mum's carer still has the keys to the house and we agreed that she'll keep going there every now & then to check it. >>
@morrick >> Once I've paid the inheritance tax, I'll inherit what essentially is already mine (being the sole heir): my parents' house. Which I'm now constantly worried about because it's there, all alone, in the Italian countryside. >>
@morrick >> Then, once I returned home in Spain, work pretty literally submerged me. I've had time to update my blog only once, with a few thoughts on sideloading: http://morrick.me/archives/9456
Now I have to save funds to pay the inheritance tax. >>
@morrick I'm hanging there and I don't even know how. I guess having someone by your side helps a lot in keeping you sane. Anyway, I don't want to bore anyone with my troubles, and I hope you all are alright. :-)
@morrick I've gotten used to the changes pretty quickly, but I've realized recently that I just don't interface with my software the way I used to. I used to pore through the menus and settings, and really become one with them. Now I just skim the surface.
