Condemned at birth was I

Never fully cleansed
from that original sin
I played no part in

Anger issues implanted

Hard wired resentments

Animosity constantly #venting

Today I am way past warranty
but the madness still persists

Who do I see about this??

Another beautiful day. Another day I can’t enjoy the fresh air coming in through my windows because of my neighbor’s constant chain-smoking. #venting

I live a half hour from the eye doctor and when I got here they said they’re 45 minutes behind schedule and asked if I’d like to reschedule. I wish they would’ve called me before I left. I could’ve brought my laptop and headphones. Now what am I going to do? #venting

#aarghh #Venting

I just had a conversation with a co worker who genuinely believes that anything with 'Royal' in its title in the UK is paid for by the Royal family.

I shit you not.

I need to go lie down before I go postal.

If you leave the bag open the bread will get stale. #venting

Why #venting makes #anger worse – and what actually helps

How are gas based leaf blowers not illegal worldwide yet?

Nevermind… I’m in it will probably be mandatory to use them at least 2x a week soon

Okay, this is just stupid! One of the benefits of having a #website is that people can access your services at any time, day or night, right? Well, I just went to the #SocialSecurity website to try and get a benefit verification letter, which I need because I'm trying to reestablish a #VocationalRehabilitation case. I clicked "Sign In" and was greeted by this message:

This of the website limitation is especially frustrating for me because I have a #Non24HourSleepWakeDisorder and an unpredictable schedule. It feels like the website is designed without thinking about people like me who need flexibility.
Has anyone else out there had similar issues with government services or other websites?

Bless this presenter's heart. I feel like I'm just watching him learn on-screen, not show me how to do something. I'm just here to vent. #Venting

Slightly sweary rant on the worst thing I ever had to do as a software engineer: manually auditing and confirming the licences of 2500+ npm packages. …

Four Months of Software Licensing Hell https://aceade.net/2025/02/02/four-months-of-software-licensing-hell/

This is why I hate JavaScript development.

I am so angry right now.

I have been planning to buy a MacBook Laptop for the last 6 months, and today I got around to testing if my ham radio software would work under x64 emulation in Win11 ARM64 edution.

Of course it F**king doesn’t. The main piece of software that runs most of my radio stuff completely craps out on the Visual C libraries being x64 emulated.

With v7 of the software promising linux and Mac support, but with no solid timeframe, I’m now back to trying to figure out how to best upgrade my radio shack when Win10 reaches EOS.

Linux is no-go (you may have seen previous posts) - Rig control is only just barely there and the number of interdependencies that create additional conditions to make things work is just not making it practical for me.

Upgrading existing Win10 machine is no-go thanks to MS deciding there was a need to generate a heap of e-waste by locking Win11 functionality to only recent CPUs.

My other SFF machines will suffer the same CPU lockout fate.

Leaning into replacing apps with Mac equivalents is less than idea, as most of the ham radio app development uses the windows platform. I don’t need to make my setup any more niche than it already is :)

I’m thinking my only option at this point is to purchase a cheap Win11 compatible laptop and dedicate that to the radio shack and mobile operations.

In all seriousness,

I was thinking about my post from earlier.

And I sort of wonder what would happen if we all decided to open our windows at a certain designated time (say, 1 PM local) and simply unleash a blood curdling screech. Would a collective Daily Scream make the world a better place? Would that improve people’s mental health? I don’t know. But it’s ideas like this that I think may be worth trying.

Food for thought, perhaps?
