To fix the black screen issue you hold in the escape key, this was a known issue with StartAllBack, but yes, LLStore has the newer version of StartAllBack and it'll fix it too once you press the escape key as windows starts (or even on the black screen). This was the down side to MS updates break thing in Windows 10, it's settled down now, so I assume the SiB creator found a more reliable way that doesn't break between MS updates.
We all need coffee, I already get government assistance to survive, so the least I can do is provide something of value. I've not worked a paid job since 2005. but I've not sat around doing nothing, drinking and feeling sorry for myself, I was just unable to use phones for voice calls, my anxiety wouldn't let me sleep at all before needing to do things the next day etc etc, so I wasn't capable of even applying for jobs as the rejection over and over was too much for me back then... I wasn't aware I was going through Autistic Burnout at that stage, the doctors just said I had major depression and put me on pills. Anyway like I said, I made LastOS and I raised 6 kids over the last 27 years.
With the cost of living, things are getting very hard for me, but until I am out on the street I wont complain. I already know I am a lot more educated about computers than 99% of all IT technicians. Just another area in my life I am in the 1% to 2% of the "usual". But I just hate greed and money. Doing things for money has always bothered me, now AI is going to make huge changes to what work is available, I was just ahead of the curve once again. Almost the entire generation of working age kids have felt it's not worth the effort as they can't afford to move out of their parents house, let alone buy one for them to start a family. Money has broken the system through inequality and until things change back to progress before profits, the world will continue to go down hill. We need share spaces, community and purpose/goals and dreams. else we are just the cogs of a machine designed to extract as much money as they can. Just to make a billion air feel the most superior in a room, because after $30 million, does life offer anything better? so why keep making profit value go up, but quality of life for your friends and family go down?, seemed a logical conclusion to me when I was just 13, but I was coding my Commodore 64 when I was 11 and didn't stop coding since.
I used to fight against it all and struggled to be as normal as I can. but now I go with the flow and just accept what I can't change. Time is the only thing I have and I don't waste it at all as I want nothing but peace, deciding to let it all go meant I could live in peace before I rest in peace.Only costs my ego, I now question every ask my brain has, because 99% of the time, it lies to me and has no idea what it "needs".
I make the OS mods because I use them myself and I find them more find than crosswords and Sudoku etc. It's something that lets me feel accomplished and wind down. that's why when LastOS website got hacked over xmas. I was just going to walk away. If my work isn't publicly important, it's not worth being attacked over.
