Ranting about elderly father who doesn't understand shit about very very very basic pooter concepts [eg, is an email a browser? why doesn't it work when i try to send a thunderbird email i'm writing to a website url, & why are email addresses different?], so i get so many ucken calls that boil my blood coz all these ucken arguments arise... he knows nothing but nonetheless "is always in the right", & no matter how gently i try to educate him he ends up testy & snippy... then never remembers this "amazing new learning" so over time we go around & around & around, & gaaaaaaaah i'm so ucken over it.

and then there's this shit happens when i've remoted-into his pooter so he can show me his latest conniption, & he keeps jaquillions of windows open, all piled one atop the other, & if one loses focus & gets hidden behind some of the jaquillions of others then he no longer can find it & grows more & more frustrated / angry, madly clicking here there & everywhere, in a quite exquisite illustration of The Kessler Effect In Pooters. not to mention he seems clueless that when he points with his finger at his screen, 130 km away from me, & says "see, that one there", that no dad i can't ucken see & why do you always pull this shit on me?".

or pul-ease don't get me started on his bonkers devotion to the hideous ancient windoze pgm for making cards by the egregious Hallmark Greeting Cards bandits, which is so badly coded & styled that it still looks straight out of the early 90s, follows none of the normal GUI conventions, rapaciously opens in fullscreen with NO controls to resize it, & worst of all, stores all its cumulatively generated user data inside the pgm in proprietary file formats, such that if the pgm breaks or a dimwitted user uninstalls it coz they foolishly bought a newer version so-called that seems to me identical to the old version but whose installation first mandates uninstallation of the old, & coz the user doesn't know shit never bothered to learn some important basics like EXPORTING THEIR FUCKEN DATA BEFORE UNINSTALLING, so they pouff instantly lost all their data, but they still swear by [not at] this ucken pathetic app, & now intend to spend the next 500 years manually recreating all the data, & gaaaaaah i need alcohol.

😠 😱 🙄🤦‍♀️

@MsDropbear42 you rust reminded me I have to erase my dad’s old computer so he doesn’t use it by accident.
@MsDropbear42 these people definitely need an immutable linux distro, with emacs pre-installed and nothing else, there it goes, now they have to learn to use it the proper way /s But yeah, I hear similar issues from people a lot, so yeah, I'm glad I'm not doing tech support for people rn :p
