Coping Mechanism

A blog about everything by Jack Baty

I'm mad at technology right now

I'm mad at technology right now
Falling back to this setup today, just to be safe.

I'm about to tell my entire technology-dependent existence to piss up a rope.

Let's see, in the past few days:

  • My iPhone won't charge using a USB-C cable. Must use MagSafe
  • The desktop Linux machine suddenly won't find its own Bluetooth device
  • Updating Fedora on the Framework fails repeatedly
  • The Reolink phone app can't connect to the doorbell half the time
  • The laser printer randomly disappears from the network
  • Liquid Glass on Tahoe still sucks
  • I can't send email using Emacs alluvasudden
  • Torrent downloads on the Mac Mini are insanely slow, but work fine on other machines with same software/network/vpn

And who can forget the incessant, wildly frustrating and annoying discourse around AI..or Apple...or Meta...or OpenAI...etc.

Pulling away from my usual tech-immersive lifestyle seems like a good plan, today.

It's one reason I'm posting here. For some reason, Ghost feels like the simple option right now. Weird, right?
