The Problem Isn't Email, It's Microsoft Exchange -- it turns out my 2011-vintage rant still rings true, now also available trackerless: https://nxdomain.no/~peter/the_problem_isnt_email_its_microsoft_exchange.html #inefficiency #timewasted #email #archiving #microsoft #exchange #compliance #deduplication #unsolvedproblems #smtp #mail #annoyances

Odio hacer clientes de servicios web de AXIS. ¿Por qué siempre dan tanta guerra? ¿A caso siempre me tocan siempre los servicios viejos o mal hechos?

Me han pasado hasta un WSDL con scriptlets de JSP dentro que he tenido que "ejecutar" para generar el WSDL real.

@Tusky Is there a way when clicking "load more" in #tusky to load the posts above the current post, so that I don't have to remember where the last read post is and have to scroll?

If you use Firefox Sync to send web pages from mobile to devices with a larger screen, it's very annoying to see all your computers named as "user's Firefox on ...", "user's Firefox on ...", ... so you can't tell which icon is which.

Under the Account → Settings menu (which may only be under the hamburger menu) there's an Account Settings page that allows you to change your computer name to something shorter.

Why is it that I can be reading a post on #LinkedIn on my phone, I put the phone down and pick it up, and the post disappeared from my screen?

I'm not a web designer or anything, but if you find yourself having to put "Jump To Recipe " buttons on your #recipe website, maybe just go ahead and assume nobody wants to read your 1700-word essay on the history of the ginger snap and put the recipe at the top of the page.

Bloody annoyances...

On WordPress,

Them: "Are you enjoying our plugin?"

Me: "FUCK YES! I masturbate with it every day!"

They've been discussing for years to end daylight savings time and stay on summer time all year.

I definitely agree with this option since the whole idea with "summer time" is to maximize hours of daylight in the afternoon which most people enjoy more than more light in the morning.

I just wish the politicians could get their thumbs out of their assess and actually make a decision.

ARGH!

User: I'm having trouble accessing this resource on the company network and I need it URGENTLY!
Me (notice user is not connected to the VPN): OK, are you in one of the company offices, or working from home today?
User does not respond, going on 30 minutes now.

Mac user? Hate .DS_Store as much as I do? Here’s a little insight into those supposedly “hidden” files that seem to propagate like rabbits. #macos #finder #annoyances #trivia #apple #networking https://mjtsai.com/blog/2024/07/03/on-the-origins-of-ds_store/

Ok, this is funny....

I've got pretty much every #blocklist and protection feature enabled in #NextDNS by default... #trackers, #spyware, #malware, #annoyances, etc. that I can't see any of the #videos on any of the major #news #websites. (#YouTube works though.)

So, I went to try to bookmark the link on #CNN to catch the #debate tonight and nothing would play.

I had to launch #MullvadVPN just so I could play CNN's video feed!

Too funny........

(NextDNS is configured in my router as the DNS provider for my home network.)

There are a lot of noises that sound different over the phone to me than in person. One is the sound of a person chewing their food. Perhaps it is because there BT is in contact with their face when they are chewing.

I'm not shy about ending a conversation because I don't want to hear someone chew.

Yet I have a friend that will call me after visiting a drive-through and call me chewing hashbrowns. I always end the call quickly and say why.

The future of web - AI edition - just more of the same. #popups #annoyances #advertising

Certainly with every software service everywhere racing to adopt #AI someone somewhere can figure out a model that will allow companies that issue bill reminders to figure out that you’ve already paid or scheduled a payment and quit sending out unnecessary reminders.

Why is there not a CSS attribute called "alignment-just-fucking-put-it-where-Im-telling-you-to" ? #css #webdev #frustrations #annoyances

Well THIS explains everything! Forever, it seems, I was having issues with inline autocorrect in Telegram. If I started a large word near the end of the entry space, it would cut the first part off and insert the word it thought I wanted after the unfinished word. Very, VERY annoying. I had to turn off all the extra bits just to have a sane typing experience.

It seem that 14.3.1 has fixed that, so maybe I'll turn it on again. #apple #autocorrect #annoyances https://mjtsai.com/blog/2024/02/09/macos-14-3-1/

i hate crap like this. please stop interrupting what i'm doing to show me something that is 100% not useful to me and is all about increasing whatever metrics you're trying to optimize

anyway, instead of doing something useful or enjoyable, i'm now trying to figure out how to disable this from ever appearing again. i don't care how cute your waving fox logo is
