Oh, thinking about it.

.
.
I have two ideas on my mind.  The first, of course, is kicking my phone over to grapheneos.  An android offshoot, or alternative, for my phone.  I have the instruction for that.  But... want to sort how to back up my phone's data, and back that up or copy it somewhere, for added security.  To that end, I have a few memory cards on the way.  I have some smaller ones, but no reader?  Or... who knows, but I can't find it.

I am still a bit sketchy about that.  Not sure if I even need to erase the phone back to factory.  If it isn't required, I won't.  Though I will remove at least one app.  Though, I am finding, removing apps seems impossible.  Well, I remove them (on my original phone, on the other phone I bought then returned, and this new one), but they just return.  Could be some setting I am missing, or some back up system in play that I don't have access to, or didn't know about the settings from it which reinstalls.  Anyway.  This should fix that, or allow me to figure it out.

It's in the consideration phase.  A probable.  But, I don't want to possibly break my computer, and phone, at the same time.  As the other thing being considered is to finally go linux.  I'm thinking kibuntu.  Oh, there are better gaming platforms, and more secure platforms, but for a daily driver, a test run, this is where I will go.

The thing about choice?  There are too many.  That's not a good thing.  Overwhelming the neuro setup of a human, or other animal, isn't as difficult as some people think.  Even the pros can be baffled with a bit of bullshit or a bumrush by a small dedicated group.  It's not that difficult.  Doesn't always work, but it can.  A few experiences of it, in which you survive, will alter your nature.  But... that nature is always there.  It can kick in, and defeat your will to act, if you aren't... ready, and if it isn't... right?  Never mind, just saying.  This is like that.  Too many choices.  And choices at every level.  Makes it difficult.  Tech isn't my world, so... it's... screwy for me, doubly, on these points.

Still, I have decided on the basic platform.  Now looking for a simpler, beginner level, instruction and general how to.  Do I lose everything I have on this?  Is there a way to backup, say, pictures, and port them?  What about web data?  Since I am using Brave, that is more likely than if I was using some other browser.  But, still, figuring out how to back that up, too, is a whole other issue.  Same with pictures.

So... things on my mind.  But so tired.  My heart is a bit sore, oddly.  Has been for a few days.  I thought fresh air might help.  Maybe the house was too tight.  But, no.  If it were that, after last night, I would be better.  I've had that before.  No.  It's too much gaming?  Or the stress of sorting and figuring things out, for too many hours, for too many days?  I'm stressing my systems gaming.  Or... just... not doing well?  Maybe that.  But, there is a problem.

Then again, I really am old, for my conditions.  I honestly should have died forty years ago, or at least 35... within a five year window of falling that ill.  So, for my condition alone, I am ancient.  I shouldn't be surprised when my body doesn't do well.  But I still am!  I still expect, someday, to wake up and just be... okay, good, well.  It will never happen.  It can't happen.  Just sucking in air, and hurting, is as good as it will ever get.  I have learned to suffer well.  But... I'll never be well again.  Not on this side of the veil of tears.  Which is why I so loved even being in purgatory.  Nothing hurt.  I felt good for the first time in, at that time, nearly a decade?  Or five years?  Something.  So... think about thirty five years in?  Yeah.

Well... just... thinking on virtual paper.  Oh, coffee!  I remembered to brush and such this morning.  I always wait an half hour before eating or drinking after that.  It's time!  Later.
