   I'm really learning to hate technology.

   I used to be good with it. I used to be smart. Apparently at this point I should sell a kidney and buy a Mac (a used one).

     You probably want to mute this thread. The frustration is mounting and it's getting harder and harder to not feel stupid.

     So I will continue to bitch about it.

     Sorry.

     If there are any actual experts on getting a DSLR camera to properly work under #Debian I would appreciate a DM. I've read the documentation and done the things that I understand, but there is a lot that I *don't* understand and trying to learn it seems to be an uphill battle.

     I would be absolutely fine if being stupid didn't cost vast amounts of money and time.

     Getting dumber as I get older is going to make life exponentially more difficult.

     Bill repeated this.

     I'm probably just exhausted from learning things that I only ever need to learn once, for one thing, and then I don't have to remember them. But shit it's fucking exhausting.

     Every goddamned day it seems is a new "minor hiccup" preventing me from moving forward. I either invest hours of my time to troubleshoot (something that pays worse and worse dividends every single time I do it), or I give up on it.
