if youre on a slow machine +pdfjs/firefox you can see the diagram of the insides of the computer load.. not just one image!! u can see it assembling itself almost as the page loads..
computer UI trivia question for our amusement: y'all know those computer prompts which have "(Y/N)" at the end, and want you to type one of those two letters?
(guessing this'll be weighted *heavily* towards the top, given fediverse, but I think it's still amusing to ask.)
(boosts okay but not remotely necessary.)
rant, shitty writing styles, subpost, vent, caps,
i hate the "you are not $x. you are not $y." format
first, i get to decide what i am. stop telling me.

I visited my grandparents a few days ago, and they have to use a nightmarish miasma of websites that have all been mergerered-and-acquisitioned half a dozen times to order their medications. Due to them having memory issues and generally just being frustrated with bullshit that shouldn't be this hard, one of their children had to go through a bunch of hoops to get added onto my grandpa's account so they can just order some of the meds he needs.
All because usernames and passwords were not saved anywhere on their devices.
It was a small thing in the grand scheme, but it sucked seeing him have to give up a piece of his agency and autonomy so that he could get the medication he needs.
KeePassXC is good, but there are others. Just do *something* while you and your elders are still able to learn and get into habits. I really think it will make things a little easier in the future.

I gave my map away, but it's time to push and pull, change and ~~kill your past~~. Oh... To know the catharsis of loving again reminds us of how much we bled. This heart wasn't made for loving anyone, but now I know where I am. I make my own path.
