I’ll chime in and say that math teachers have said similar things about calculators/graphing calculators for 25+ years. This is most definitely you getting “old”. It’s okay—it happens to all of us.
As far as attention span, that has been an equally common refrain—going back to people complaining that radio has reduced kids attention spans.
Even then. My mother followed a YouTube video on this including the part where the helpful Indian guy had her download an app and set up a very sketchy VPN.
Oh, I most definitely love my kids. Seeing their thought processes always makes my day.
But…I’m in exceptional circumstances. My son lost bowel and bladder control 2y ago (tumor on his spinal cord). Had to live in the hospital a year. Took its toll on our now 9yo daughter…
And now, my son is STILL used to being woken up every couple of hours for blood pressure checks and who is also awoken at that point? Yep—me.
I don’t remember the last time I woke up feeling rested.
I think I phrased this badly. I wanted effectively a digital filing cabinet software with OCR/tagging—not just OCR alone. It looks like paperless-ngx ticks all those boxes.

Yea…
Not really. It takes a lot of experience to sort the legit from the not legit.
“Having problem X? Download the system32.dll fix here!”
Just buy them from the vending machine.
Space Engineers 2 is EA now…
I loved writing scripts for that game, looking forward to more.
Not really a sim, but def a fan of space games. Void Crew has been great.
Do you prefer phone calls? (This is a honest question)

I love my kids but… I’m tired, boss.
When my (then) 4 yo was undergoing chemo I had a goto line I used often when people would comment on my mask:
Honestly, if you’re still masking and get flak, just say the above anyhow. You have my permission.

Rules for thee but not for me. Same as always.
What happens in the Eye stays in the Eye?
For those that struggled like me…
Going from a-z, write out the last three multiplicands.
I like to play it safe, personally, and quadruple rot13 encode all my comments.
Does it belong in here? Not belong? Help me—I’m confused.
He was agreeing with you…
