Teslaās influence is spreadingā¦ I never use my glovebox because of this.
So I finally fumble-fucked around and guessed my way back into the password.
But, FIRST, I tried resetting things using my still good access on my phone. Not that google was gonna make that shit easy. Nope, my browser is too out of date to be used with googles services. Fair enough, I prefer an older version of Firefox, so I just updated it and tried again. You guessed it, google still wonāt accept that my brand new, freshly installed browser is good enough for them. Access denied.
I will never in my life understand why the hell I need to update the software Iām using on a constant basis. I do understand that it needs the occasional update under the hood, so to speak. But WHY oh WHY must EVERY SINGLE THING that I use be moved / relocated / or hidden. My phone is the perfect example. I like the keyboard that came with it. And theyāre just desperate to update to a new version. You canāt even opt out. I just have to make sure that my phone never ever ever ever sees a wi-fi connection, because thatās the moment that it will choose to āimproveā itself to the point that I canāt use it for a week or two, while I track down all the little things that contribute to itās functionality.
The firefox update? Wiped out all my bookmarks. Replaced them with FUCKING TILES. As far as I can tell itās just so they can shove advertisements in there too. So now Iāve got to go in and find and kill all the little on / off selections that are repsonsible for getting between me and the core functionality of the fucking phone.
Nobody gets on there phone or pc or whatever to admire the interface. Itās like going to a basketball game to watch the ref. Itās there to be functional, and stay out of my way while Iām accessing data. I DO NOT NEED OR WANT the damn thing trying to steer me to whatever bullshit itās trying to push on me.
Pretty sure Iām going to have to wipe firefox and reinstall an older version just to get it mostly functional again. Which means Iāve got about a 30% chance Iāll have to factory reset the phone and start from nothing. All because google tripped balls and got stuck in basic view.
And the fun part? As soon as I got back in, it reverted to standard view, so this whole fiasco was a giant waste of time.
Do you know what version you want?
Do you need a hand to find one
I just had a look, there are A LOT to choose from
LINK IF YOU WANT IT
Iāve had to do it before. Autoupdate caught me by suprise once before. Basically I want the last version that had certain features.
Iāll dig into when Iāve got more sleep and am less angry.
EDIT:
Awhile back firefox changed the requirements for itās add ons and effectively killed off a lot of the older ones. If anyone out there can write a bit of codeā¦
There used to be an add-on that locked the ādesktop viewā to always on. It was popular, as near I can tell. I sure loved it. Then it was gone.
Write a new one, charge .99 cents. I donāt know how much you have to do to keep up with the changes, but it could be some passive income.
I donāt feel like getting involved in any of it,
But you understand the tone and meaning of āletās go Brandonā?
Weāve had discussions about phrasing and meanings crossing the world funny, so just checking
Good question, but Yeah.
unfortunately itās the first thing than comes to mind when I read the word Brandon is
Fuck the political meaningā¦ALL politicians can get fucked
Just like hearing the name Karen, invokes this
