I used to come here daily. I've grown a bit tired of seeing the same questions asked again, especially questions which are not directly related to tech (where do if find this or that, best shop in lebanon, how do i find a job).
My interest in tech also dwindled a bit and my attention was diverted by other platforms (mainly reddit) and I've put more time and energy in photography activities or sometimes exploring the city or the country - yet most of all daily life and chores.
Anyway here I am. About what happened in my life well it's a bit of a struggle in great part a consequence of the crime(s?) that happened in Lebanon at the national level ie the deliberate destruction of economy and living conditions.
In other part due to my personal lack of focus and decisions.
Once you get a bit involved and step out of your bubble in Lebanon it's hard to leave especially at an older age. We have a beautiful soulful country in Lebanon and I mean all of it, beyond Mar Mkhayel, Batroun, the Cedars and whatever other "politically correct" destinations people often try to promote as being Lebanon.
One that is killed a little again and again on a daily basis - economic crime, littering and cutting trees, poisoning the environment, oppressing the poor, sabotaging the economy, corruption, etc.
BTW the cat in my avatar was a very special cat, very vocal, smart and independent. He died about last year. Dark times.
