YouTube’s Appeal Decision Is In: My Inactive Manager Channel Stays Banned—And It’s Complete Bullshit

It's been less than five hours since I woke up to discover my YouTube channels had been terminated overnight, and I've already received YouTube's appeal decision. Spoiler alert: it's not good news. In fact, it's exactly the kind of generic, nonsensical response that proves YouTube's moderation system is running on autopilot with zero human oversight. Let me walk you through what happened today, because the timeline alone shows how broken this entire process is. The Timeline of This […]

I hate it that apps "know" I screenshotted them, on IPhone. Screenshot Google Maps, and some window pops up. Tried to screenshot a profile picture from WhatsApp - restricted.

Oh joy, another riveting tale of web devs forgetting that not everyone worships at the altar of . 😴🔥 Just what we needed: a command-line that ironically requires more clicks than key commands. 🖱️⌨️ Turns out, the real challenge is enduring the irony! 😂✌️

Remember when 'cord-cutting' meant simplicity? In 2025, it means navigating a labyrinth of live TV streaming services, each with its own price hikes, channel bundles, and a quest for that elusive NFL game. It's less 'cutting the cord,' more 're-braiding it with extra steps.' What's your biggest streaming headache right now?

My attempts to use a new Contabo VPS with IPv6 failed via SSH and browser, unlike IPv4 which worked. The issue was definitely with IPv6. I cancelled the subscription. Subsequent orders' costs kept rising, which I refuse to pay. I'll keep my old VPS despite its shortcomings, and I am reluctant to order another Contabo VPS.

Why does Amazon AWS make it nearly impossible to find and pay your bill online with your phone?

Amazon: Your bill is overdue

Me: Spending 10+ minutes logging in, spidering "Billing Cost Management".... usage reports, predicted bills, Where is the "Pay Now" button?! - Every time!

"Blend into the background," they said.
Then your Echo Show shoves a drill bit ad in your face. 🙄

Engadget's Amy Skorheim is so done with Amazon's un-opt-outable ads on her Echo Show, she's giving it away! Is this the blurry line for smart home tech, or just another cash grab?

🐢 "Learn OCaml," they said, as if connecting activities will magically implant coding skills into your brain 🧠. The only exercise happening here is your patience getting a workout, while your computer languidly mocks your attempts at productivity. 😂

Oh, the endless saga of trying to bridge the gap between and 😩. Apparently, the internet gods have decided that converting tables is a task only for the truly worthy—or those with a spare afternoon to wrestle with server errors 🤦‍♂️. Meanwhile, your data waits, trapped in spreadsheet purgatory.

🍎 Apparently, some scientists decided to play Dr. Frankenstein with fruit flies and discovered that tweaking a gene can give them bulging bug eyes 👀. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still trying to find the magic gene that stops our devices from throwing a tantrum with "400 Bad Request" errors every time we breathe. 🙄

I'm still hoping for a decent Hungarian AI-based TTS whenever a book comes up that I want to read. It's frustrating that even with all the tech advances, the best speech engines are basically the same as in 2006. Professional narrators reading non-fiction, making text and audio alignment less tedious and less resource-intense training could really help with this. I'm not expecting character voices or emotions, just something enjoyable. #Hungarian #AI #Audiobooks #TechFrustration

I think I've gotten so used to the AWS partner portal that it feels intuitive now. But whenever I switch to the Google hub, it drives me up the wall as links lead to docs even though it started off as a task! so I go around in circles! 🙄 😖

Hi everyone! How are you all doing tonight? I just had a frustrating experience trying to set up a free #domain or #subdomain for my #SelfHosted services. Unfortunately, I can't use my laniecarmelo.tech domain because its current configuration doesn't allow me to add subdomains.
I discovered EU.org, which offers free domains, and decided to give it a try. However, they require you to have authoritative #DNS #nameservers before requesting a domain. I tried using #Cloudflare, but it wasn't authoritative. Then I looked into Hostry.com, Hurricane Electric DNS, and FreeDNS.
Hostry requires you to add DNS records for your domain before using their service—but how can I do that when my domain doesn’t exist yet? 🤦‍♀️ As for FreeDNS and Hurricane Electric, both have inaccessible #CAPTCHAs on their registration forms with no audio alternatives! 😡
At this point, I'm so frustrated that I've decided to take a break from figuring this out. If anyone has tips for setting up a free domain or knows of accessible DNS services, I’d really appreciate your advice! 🙏

Did Apple quietly remove DVD and BluRay burning from Compressor with no notice?

The feature was there in version 4.7, gone in 4.8, and still missing in 4.9—and it wasn’t mentioned at all in the 4.8 release notes. On top of that, the Compressor website still claims the feature is supported. I’ve had to roll back to 4.7 just to get this back. Frustrating when a PAID feature is dropped with zero acknowledgment.

@gruber @atp.fm —any insight here?

I remember the times when registering an app on Google Play took 1 minute. Today, you have to upload your passport, fill out a billion forms, wait for moderation from a few days to several weeks, and don’t forget to periodically log into the damn panel and check if those bastards have come up with something new. "Don't be evil", damn it! #GooglePlay #AppDevelopment #TechFrustration #DigitalBureaucracy
