mehbe, I bit off a too big chunk

dealing with a dead mother stuffs, packing up an entire household for donation, sale, or trash, (pretty much in that order).

and trying to set up a MacBook Pro for my writing usage. and EVERYBODY and their danged brother wants things set up with Two step verification these days. My phone, and this unit have been pinging each other left and right over the last hour with, “Is this you” queries, and needing to verify passwords, pins, security questions (one of which I have zero clue what I originally input, as that was 12 years ago when I HAD an iPhone,,,)

Sadly, there is a solution to all of this, that is robust, simple and totally ignored by all of the Tech Giants because it would make all their backdoors useless,,,, Blockchain. using a simple 1gig thumb drive would be all you need to sign into anything, but that is too damned hard to change and still provide the backdoors and privacy invasions the Goobermints want in our equipment.

What? you think that sub $1000 iPhone ISN’T spying on you???? Keep thinking that, and I have an English Bridge in an Arizona desert to sell you.

Anywhooss,,,, I have to figure out if I want to go through a series of updates to the latest OSX version (I can’t just upgrade from my current version,,, Hey, waitaminute, this is starting to feel like MS horsecripes,,,,,,,,). Part of the problem with the apps and extensions is they are set up for the newer OSX, which has that two step verification thing written in (current installed version does not) so while they might run in this version, I can’t may not be able to get them started because the two step process is just a wee bit more complicated.

and one of those extensions is a writing app. Thank to small gods that I a don’t depend on it ((I may only use it once a year.))

learning curves, all around, frustration from bureaucratic manure, I’m in a city I was orgasmic to leave 12 years ago, and, , ,

Its Friday, but that means nothing at this juncture to me. I left my escape pods (kayaks) at home, and all I can do is keep on keeping on until this is over. Thanks for letting me rant about stoopidity and rules and lawyers, (did I just stutter?) and now I am going to go over to Irish’s place to see about boobies and brews and burgers,,,, and bacon,,,, can’t forget the bacon.
