replied to your post “I got off my ass and installed new xkit and first i had the issue…”
hello! re: xkitt. You could use the xCloud esxtension to save all your settings, and then delete, reinstall. I use firefox, so I can’t guarrantee, but xcloud save your stuff online, it could work? Good luck! and have fun!
I installed xcloud when I configured xkit but I don’t have any idea how to make it actually do anything, and I mean, I’ve just reset xkit about six times, so there’s clearly nothing to save.
The problem is that it wants me to delete all my settings in Chrome, not xkit. I have no settings in xkit! I had to nuke the old install and start over so everything is gone!
But now I have to nuke my entire user profile in Chrome, which I never set up in the first place so anything saved in there has accumulated haphazardly and without my express permission. Which, you’d think, oh good, torch it and start clean, but no that is literally all my login info to anything ever, and i have such a horrible memory that I will not be able to reconstruct it.
Asking someone as disorganized as me to do something like this is kind of like saying, well, take your life, throw it out, and start over, and if you don’t find it again, it wasn’t meant to be, and like– at some point in the future I’ll remember that i had a child or a cat or something and I’ll only remember because I find an old photo somewhere.
It is literally impossible to state how fucking scatterbrained I am. So. (I have entire hobbies I abandoned when I had to switch computers because I lost the bookmarks for the pages that told me how to do them and then forgot that I’d ever done them. I find the old half-completed projects and wonder whether this was really something I ever did, or if someone broke into my house and left these things here? what is this even called? I could Google it maybe? have I seen a website about this before? but before I get to my computer to look it up, a squirrel runs by or I see a shiny piece of foil and the thought is gone forever and I go through the same process three days later when I find the mysterious artifact again. I AM SO ADHD IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN IT. Though, I asked my doctor for a diagnosis and she laughed and said grown women don’t get that, and that was that.)
I mean. The first time I installed xkit I had someone walk me through it. It was not hard. But I do not know why I thought it would be okay to do it on my own this time. It was broken for like. Two years? And I should have just left it that way, because it only popped up and stopped me from using my computer for like, ten seconds at a time every time I refreshed a page, not this bullshit like it does now.
(Notice I have like five tumblr tabs open. that’s because sometimes while it’s doing that bullshit for three, four, ten minutes at a time in one tab, i can use another tab and it’s fine there. So I refresh the page, and then leave it to do this fucking bullshit until it’s done.)
I could uninstall. It’s clearly not doing me any good. But I just.
I’ve had one of those days. I sprained my wrist picking up a light box. I hit a curb and destroyed one of my tires. I’m fucking shitty at fucking existing. I am not going to attempt to uninstall and reinstall my entire web browser, which is what xkit says the only solution is.
I am just going to lie here and probably die, because I am feeling really theatrical.
