The Cloud Of Bullshit
Every day I wake, and I think of my one true mission in life. To mock and ridicule paint huffing idiots. Something recently that drew my ire, like the hemorrhoids on my ass is this idea of 'the cloud', THE CLOUD and the buzzword lingo-bingo bullshit that providers use to hype and sell it.
For example, airtable is an amazing service. I love that I can insert just about anything into a row, create any of my own row datatypes, that it's flexible as all hell.
I love it.
And I hate that I'm essentially locked in to the cloud.
I fucking hate how if my internet goes down (thanks you pie eating inbred dipshits at comcast) I have no access.
If the company is bought, they'll shut down like all the rest , to be "relaunched at a later time" (or never).
I hate that if the company doesn't make enough money, or it's investors change their mind, woopsie, service is shut down.
I hate that the cloud is synonymous with massive data leaks and IOT-levels of stupidity in security practices.
Every time someone says "but its in the cloud! Isn't it amazing!"
I always think 1. YEAH IF IM AN INVESTOR I GET TO MILK LOW BROW FINGER PAINTING FUCKWITS EVERY MONTH like Adobe sucking the blood from infants who are still in college.
2. Why? So I can get locked into their platform, have them segment off previously free features (fucking youtube and the 'subscribe so you can continue playing audio with your screen off' bullshit), and then have fees increase month over month?
3. Why, so every four years during the presidential selection, if I piss off some fuckstick braindead lemming literally sucking his girlfriends BFs cock, they can potentially shut me out from my own data completely?
The Cloud is built on shit-colored hype sold to knob gobbling idiots, controlling idiots, profiting at the expense of idiots, and later fucking them for buyout payola. The Cloud is a Cloud of Bullshit shat out by huckster messiahs straight into the lapping mouths of fanatics worshiping slavishly like toilet drinking scum at the porcelain alter of a neon god, invisible, untouchable, and like a spigot, easily shut off without anyone noticing. And when it happens, I'll be there, shouting "WHERE IS YOUR CLOUD NOW?"
Native any day. 100% native or I don't fucking want it
None of this node.js-gone-native bullshit either with notetaking apps taking up hundreds of megabytes of ram, where everything is bootstrap or react, in a browser, in a window container, because people are so fucking incompetent we have to hold their hand WHILE they give themselves a reach around.
Native or nothing.
For my favorite notetaking app, I use Microsoft OneNote. "OH god, a heathen, quick, stick his body up on a stake!"
But hear me out. I'll be the first one in a crowd to kick bill gates in the nuts (not because I particularly hate microsoft, just because I think hes kind of a cunt).
So when I say onenote is good, I really fucking mean it. Sure they did some cunty things like 'dumbed down' the interface, and cut out some options. But you know what they can't do?
Shut down the damn service (short of a system update completely removing the whole app, which, frankly, wouldn't surprise me).
It's so god damn good it waxed my balls, cured my cancer, fixed my relationship with my father, found my long lost brother, and replaced ALL my irl notebooks.
It's so good that if it was cocaine I'd be hospitalized for overusing it.
So god damn good it didn't just replace all my notebooks, it even replaced and sped up my mockup process three to five times. Want layers?
Built in. Just drag an image on to the notebook to import instantly.
Want to rearrange layers? Right click select "send forward/back/bring to front/send to back".
Everything snaps to grid by default and is easily resizeable.
I had all the elements for a UI sliced and diced. Wanted to try a bunch of layouts. Was gonna take me two damn days.
Did it in three hours with the notebook features of onenote.
After I started using onenote, me and my bodypillow finally conceived even.
Sweet marries mammaries I just fucking jizzed. Thank you onenote.
P.s. It really did speed up my UI design, allows annotated images, highlighted text. Shit, it can even do kanban.
And all I can think is "good job microsoft making an awesome product for free, being dumb as fuck for not charging for it, and then not marketing it at ALL."
It was sheer fucking luck that I discovered it while was I was looking for vendor STD bloatware to blast off my new install.
OneNote: Worth a try even for the kick-gates-in-the-nuts fan club.
The cloud can suck my balls.18 -

CRYPTO SCAM RECOVERY; HELP TO RECOVER SCAMMED CRYPTOCURRENCY EMAIL CYBER CONSTABLE INTELLIGENCE
I had been using a mobile wallet to store around $200,000 worth of Bitcoin, and everything was going smoothly until my phone was stolen. At first, I wasn’t too worried. I thought I had written down the backup phrase somewhere safe, so I figured I could easily recover my funds. But after tearing my home apart, checking every drawer, notebook, and folder I could think of, I came to a horrible realization—I hadn’t been as careful as I thought. The backup phrase was nowhere to be found. Panic started to set in. Losing access to that much Bitcoin was like watching years of hard work and financial progress vanish right before my eyes. It wasn’t just about the money; it felt like my future had been snatched away in an instant. I couldn’t believe I had been so careless. It was a nightmare that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Desperate to find a solution, I started searching online for recovery options. That’s when I came across Cyber Constable Intelligence, recommended by someone in a cryptocurrency forum. At first, I was hesitant—there are so many scams in the crypto space, and the last thing I wanted was to get ripped off while trying to recover my funds. But the positive reviews gave me a glimmer of hope, so I decided to reach out.
From the moment I contacted Cyber Constable Intelligence on Email at support (AT) cybe rconstable intelligence com, they made me feel understood and reassured. They didn’t make me feel stupid for my mistake, which was something I really appreciated. They explained the recovery process clearly and thoroughly, and they reassured me that they had successfully handled cases like mine before. Even though I was still anxious—after all, this was $200,000 on the line—I felt like I was in good hands. The next few days were tense, but then I received the news I had been praying for: Cyber Constable Intelligence had managed to recover my Bitcoin. I honestly didn’t believe it until I logged in and saw my balance restored. It was like a second chance at life. The relief was overwhelming. If you’ve lost access to your wallet, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem, I can’t recommend Cyber Constable Intelligence enough. They turned my nightmare into a success story, and I’m forever grateful for their expertise and professionalism.
