A Face-Place post from 2019 where I said, "A pox on all apps that return to default start if you switch apps and then return."

A pox on app developers that reset the current state to default when you switch away for a moment to look something up... perhaps information you needed when filling out a form, for example.

A Face-Place post from 2024 which says, "Folks, consider avoiding the greatest intelligence gathering system(s) ever created. If you don't, be wary of what you post. It is a new reality."

One year since I posted this. Even more true today.

::sad face::

An image of a Facebook post from 2011, where I said, "I don't like Halloween. Two nights ago I dreamt that I was running away from a town that was infected with a virus which caused people to turn into Yeti. People heading towards the town would turn into Yeti and then chase me. These were not friendly Yeti, either. I am still unsettled by this."

These days, I just wish I could #sleep.

One thing I wish #Apple would do in #macOS is respect accessibility settings. So many apps ( #Maps, and #Photos, for example) continue with tiny text, even when the settings in #Accessibility in System Settings is set for larger text. Lots of apps don't respect these settings, which is too bad.

#ADHD is needing to put an old pair of computer glasses in one's laptop bag so that when one goes to lunch and forgets their newer pair of computer glasses at their desk, one can still read all the things. #Over45 #CantSee

If #Facebook could stop traumatizing me with dog death announcements from people I don't know, that would be great. I know... cycle of life and all that, but it's hard enough having the memories of all *my* experiences. Perhaps also stop with the birthday announcements of friends who have died, too.

An old Facebook post from October 17th, 2009 saying that it was so dark this morning... such pleasant sounding pitter-patter from the rain... so warm under the covers... hibernation season begins!

Still true, every year. #hibernation

Has anyone heard of something similar to a #Google #Image #Search for #macOS #Apple #Photos? I want to feed the search an image and have it find it in my Photos Library or say that it isn't found so I can add it.

An old Facebook post where I reveal that I cannot use my work badge to access transit instead of my transit card.

An old Facebook post where I reveal that I tried to use my work badge to turn on the lights in the restroom instead of operating the actual switch.

I guess this is a reoccurring problem for me on this day.

#ADHD is when you incrementally move your earbuds closer to your computer bag, meaning to put them in, but never actually putting them into your computer bag. It becomes so frustrating that you plan to add backup earbuds into your computer bag, which means that there will now be two sets of earbuds.

I’m not a fan of tech companies loading up an app’s title bar with doodads. Am I the only one that needs a place for the mouse to grab onto to move it around?

A new reason I dislike the Face-place: the algorithm shows me a number of posts like "My <insert dog's name> died today." We had a Bernese Mountain Dog for 11.5 years. He passed away in 2020. All these posts are other Berners! These posts usually have pictures of (I hope) sleeping dogs. I mean...🤷‍♂️

On this day in 2020: #Hurricane Teddy, Cat. 2, threatens the Canadian Maritimes. I wondered, "Does anyone know the last time a tropical storm made it to Greenland?"

As a Geographaphile, the fact that #Apple Maps - the #Maps app and others like #Photos - don't cache even basic base maps, requiring a connection is rather frustrating. When I get "connection issue" and a blank (useless) background, it makes these apps useless until back with high-speed connection.

Well Oxford, it’s been a day.

As a purchaser of one of your other paintings, I would like to say that this looks beautiful! (They all do!)

I disapprove of August colds!

I thoroughly enjoyed Pridefest yesterday. Many corporations have switched their giving away from such events. I have cancelled my Netflix subscription and have donated the year’s expense to Pridefest. I encourage you to reallocate spend to what matters most.

Companies that make exercise machines for gyms that don’t have places for phones should be fined exorbitant sums of money.

#ADHD usually makes me feel "not good enough," but this was an achievement that I'm still proud of.

LOL, um, it is blue! Might need to get it looked at. ;)

There are so many things that I dislike about Facebook. My saved items are lost with perpetual "This page isn't available right now" error messages. Also the endless refreshing of the feed, so that when one clicks on a link, reads an article, then wants to go back to comment, the post disappears!

At least in this area we can grow our own (and freeze them).

This year I've been using a Lumen device (www.lumen.me). I like using it and the data it generates in my health journey. I do wish it would integrate more with Apple Health. I use a different app for diet tracking and don't want to have to enter everything twice. Still happy with it, though.

#ADHD is thinking, "I could post this on Bsky" and then getting distracted and never doing it. Repeat this an infinite number of times.

Sorry, but I'd have to pick a multiple of 3 pies. Tier 1: X, D, C. Tier 2: B, E, S. Tier 3: P, G, A.

Reading through articles on #ADHD and consistency / habit forming. All the talk of having a "disorder" and "strategies to overcome" leave me feeling like an alien on another world. That implies that there is a home-world out there. One that I wouldn't have to adapt to.
