I can't do nothing about this strange weather

[sunkissed-summerdaze]

Note to Self,

I've lived in fear for too long. It's a lonely and a dark place. Now, I'm tired. I am embracing love and light now. No more anger eating me alive, because that has been a life not lived. I am alive now, so, I shall live now. -E.S. Sat, Aug. 17th / 2024 6:50p.m. @sunkissed-summerdaze

The fact I'm not getting fucked senseless on demand is really rude.

I'm still not over the fact that people over on Hive called me passive aggressive after asking for my birth chart to be analyzed. Like wow. Unbelievable. So now I'm stuck on thinking of all the ways that I have been or how I may come across to others. I don't like any of this assumption one bit. hmph.

Things that will make your computer meaningfully faster:

Replacing a HDD with an SSD

Adding RAM

Graphics cards if you're nasty

Uninstalling resource hogs like Norton or McAfee (if you're using Windows then the built-in Windows Security is perfectly fine; if you're using a mac consider bitdefender as a free antivirus or eset as a less resource intensive paid option)

Customizing what runs on startup for your computer

Things that are likely to make internet browsing specifically meaningfully faster:

Installing firefox and setting it up with ublock origin

adding the Auto Tab Discard extension to firefox to sleep unused tabs so that they aren't constantly reloading

Closing some fucking tabs bud I'm sorry I know it hurts I'm guilty of this too

Things that will make your computer faster if you are actually having a problem:

Running malwarebytes and shutting down any malicious programs it finds.

Correcting disk utilization errors

Things that will make your computer superficially faster and may slightly improve your user experience temporarily:

Clearing cache and cookies on your browser

Restarting the computer

Changing your screen resolution

Uninstalling unused browser extensions

Things that do not actually make your computer faster:

Deleting files

Registry cleaners

Defragging your drive

Passively wishing that your computer was faster instead of actually just adding more fucking RAM.

This post is brought to you by the lady with the 7-year-old laptop that she refuses to leave overnight for us to run scans on or take apart so that we can put RAM in it and who insists on coming by for 30-minute visits hoping we can make her computer faster.
