Losing my dad.... Fuck facebook.

Hi.
I did a thing today.
What I did was kill off Facebook. No, actually, I killed it off quite a few days ago.
Facebook came up with a choice.
Pay or don't pay, and don't pay is we're going to trawl what you say and what you do even more than we did before.
And I thought I'll try it without a few a few days, you know. I did.
And then finally today I went for the whole, delete it all.
Okay, I've downloaded 2.28 28 gigabytes of stuff I've posted on Facebook just as an archive, but it's gone.
Facebook's now gone.
And what hadn't really hit me was there would be one thing that would also go, and it's this.
Oh, get out.
Ah, right.
Is this is this it's a Facebook portal thing.
And then I realized that hasn't been used for quite a while.
And the reason it hasn't been used for quite a while is we got it during COVID.
I got those for everyone in the family during COVID so that everyone could instantly video call anyone else or group of people during COVID. So, we're talking six years ago.
And the one person who kept that going for way longer than anyone else was my dad. He would randomly call me on that and it would be on my desk here and it would pop up. Hi, Dad. How are you? who have things, you know, and he called lots of other people with it, but it was the one non- tech thing that he was happy to use and his sister was even happy to use at one point.
I think she gave up on it sooner than he did, but they died within like a week of eachother. It's which is really sad.
But it was the thing that he kept using for longer than anyone else and it's been sat on my desk for years now and finally I've taken it off my desk because I've given up on Facebook.
I think I might be able to make it work with WhatsApp. I have no idea. I'm not sure how long I'll stay on WhatsApp. But yeah, the hit of leaving Facebook meant leaving that which meant that was amemory of my dad was unexpected.
I've still got all the last IME messages he sent, but we all move on. It's sad, but that was unexpected. So, that's today's thing. Apart from the fact the cold seems to be clearing up. It's not completely gone. It's really, really clearing up. So, okay.
