I feel like ever since smartphones with cameras became ubiquitous, desktop software and website support became depreciated and pushed to the side. No one cares about desktop users anymore. Pages don't flow right or use more than a thin column of space, peripherals don't work right, Windows itself is turning into a pile of shit, etc... its like if you don't want to use your phone, good luck.
I don't want to live my life on a 5" screen...
we're about a generation and a half into people who were raised with the phone/tablet as their babysitter
5" screen
Well, I have good news for you there buddy.
You can't buy such small device anymore!
7" it is!
Windows 8 being released as it was, was the death knoll period for how things are treated based on what platform. It was obvious where the focus shifted. Since then, websites started being designed with mobile in mind, that barely worked. We're having all of these dumb virtual services that work optimally - on phone. We have apps that would've been great to also have desktop only work on - you guessed it - phones.
Programs are now called Apps. I think troubleshooting on mobile is perhaps one of the most frustrating and hopeless experiences one can have. When something just breaks, it could very well be anything and your phone is faster to being obsolete than your desktop would.
Where the hell did we go wrong?
Where the hell did we go wrong?
When we handed control of tech over from nerds to money-men.
Did you talk about this with your therapist? Bc you should.
My old therapist would refer to frustration as a resource we hoarde. We dump our frustration into a little water bottle, and when we're not using adaptive coping mechanisms, we table it. But then later something frustrating happens (like your webcam experience), and though it is (truly) a minor setback, you're stuck with this huge reaction. You got a stop hoarding your frustrations and learn to dump that water bottle out before it overflows.
This imagery is for me helpful because it helps me understand some disproportionate reactions I may have, and also quite clearly doesn't shy away from negative emotion. Get angry, hell yeah. When it's... Adaptive. This wasn't adaptive.
I have also destroyed tech in frustration. I am also in therapy. Hope you're okay, I know I'm not.
I had to buy a new PlayStation controller after playing the original Dark Souls. Also, deleting google play bricked my old ( but brand new) phone and I threw it across a room. Also, the scene where they filmed the guys bashing the printer with baseball bats is my favorite scene in Office Space because I had to print 10 copies if a 500 page document when I was an intern and I destroyed and subsequently fixed every printer in a four story office building, and didn't leave work until 7pm on a Friday.
Just break all that shit!
Stop playing Dark Souls.
Blasphemy.
I can recommend Google meet for desktop calls, I use it for work and sit in a meeting all day as the team room. It's like being in an office without being in the same room.
Also don't use chrome, or windows. They both suck!
It can't be helped. There are websites out there that function best on both platforms. I've tried Floorp and Librewolf when trying to use whatever the therapist tossed at me. Things just ended up not working out, because the sites simply can't care about those browsers. Only Chrome works best. Firefox, they throw a fit about versions and stuff.
That's out of my hands.
recommend trying Jitsi to your therapist. the main advantage of it to me is that it's not made by big tech, who may be snooping in on the session. I love it, it has all the features and more
oh and also firefox. jitsi and firefox.
