Every day for the past two weeks there's been some pointlessly stupid issue with micro.blog's platform.

Whether it's about images being down-scaled to potato quality, or png files not showing up on the photos page, or the timeline only showing five posts with no pagination, or ten other simply unnecessary problems which have been solved a hundred times over in the blogging world... I do not want to debug these things. I want to post words, attach photos, and pin some categories. It's extremely simple, and yet that's just too complicated for their engine to provide consistently.

I'm completely out of patience with the platform, with debugging theme variables, with reading excuses on the help forum, and I just don't care enough to monetarily support this type of programming anymore. Using mkdocs and rsync was less hassle, but that's not the solution.

So I'm migrating elsewhere, using time and effort that should be spent doing literally anything else.

And the hits keep coming:

If you need me to edit a new file, don't tell me touch followed by nano , just tell me to nano .

Yet more #annoyances:

If you're going to have me editing files, at least have me do it with #vi/#vim and not freaking #nano.

#Annoyances ... People who use the spoon that they just stirred their tea with to take sugar out of the sugar bowl.

"iT's Ok ThE sUgAr sTiCks To ThE sPoOn"

The heck it does. If it did I wouldn't keep finding disgusting tea stained clumps of sugar in the sugar bowl.

Nothing grates on my nerves more than someone constantly sniffling. #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?

I turned off spellcheck in Firefox, but I'm still seeing spellcheck in #Mastodon. Why is that? #Annoyances

Ever since the November (I think) #Google #Pixel update, almost *every time* I unlock my phone (finger print) the notification slider drops down.

It's only about the most annoying thing ever.

I can almost stop it from happening, if I keep my finger still on the screen until the phone completely wakes up.

Even beyond that, though, this device still loses network far too frequently. I have a hard time suggesting these to anyone anymore.

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.

Podcasts were, generally, a lot of nerds nerding about stuff that was interesting to them and to some others.

But it was sufficiently populous to pull the then BBC index of all podcasts down when it ran out of dB connections, ok there were other reasons for that.

Now it's celebrities talking to other celebrities about stuff that is interesting to them and I guess others.

And it's a cheap way to rebroadcast.

This must be one of the worst things a company can do. Ten working days to unsubscribe? Honestly, such companies don’t deserve an iota of anyone’s business.

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.
