Slightly miffed that my big changeset gets deferred behind smaller changes which will explicitly conflict with it, in a project which has chosen to have a rebase-heavy PR landing workflow. It feels like a choice that my time spent rebasing and re-testing my changeset is not valuable.

And the smaller changes didn’t come with unit tests.

What dingdong decided that the first week of the new year is a good time to host what has become a major annual technology conference?

Also, what dingdong decided that datacenter products should be announced at something originally called the “Consumer Electronics Show?”

What is it with companies and organizations sending 3-4 emails PER DAY around the holidays? Don't they realize that makes me want to unsubscribe and never buy from/donate to them ever again? Are there people who AREN'T annoyed by multiple emails per day?

I KNOW nobody of value will recieve my feedback here, but I'm annoyed.

~5.1 years ago; #Formula1 launched #F1 TV Pro, their online F1 streaming platform. Great! I can quit trying to pirate a race before it's spoiled and just watch live!

Fast forward; #Apple / #AppleTV has bought the rights to it (in the #USA). So I either have to VPN /Sign up with an account outside of the US, which is always sketch when it comes to payment. Nevermind whatever watching headaches this causes.

Or I now have to go buy AppleTV But I DO NOT WANT Apple TV. 🙄

Will it have the commentors I want? What about all the old races and content that F1 TV has spent 5 years uploading. What about the Telemetry used by the viewing app I am fond of?

I really like the readability of the Mastodon App for Android. But the "Duplicate Post" bug is quite irritating. Its been hanging around for the past year or so. So I stick with the venerable, but still awesome Moshidon.

I figure that available resources probably go towards the iOS app first... but ....

... grumble grumble.

It's gonna be a long day. My fucking feet are on fire, and I haven't even left for work yet.

Thank you, #Google, for those 4 consecutive captchas you gave me because your solution to making your products secure is to pass the buck to your customers. #grumble

Just started a new game of Lord of the Rings: The Third Age on my PS2 emulator. I can only get it to run with a gamepad, and my USB hub keeps going in and out. I only have 2 slots on this junky old ass laptop. I need a new USB hub.

If you have a FAQ on your site, please include anchor links for each entry.

In fact, if you are creating content on the web... please consider using anchor links for headings of all kinds, and anything else that people might want to link directly to. #grumble #web #webdev

@hayesstw Because so many people want to monetize our interaction with their web sites, they don’t write plain HTML anymore. What we see is a thin veneer of content on surveillance and exploitation software. #grumble

I swear retailers just love removing payment options to annoy those of us that want to use older methods or those ways that allow us to use options that act as an intermediary.

I prefer using gift cards for certain online transactions, for example.

They are losing trade though, because some cannot use the methods of payment they want.

And some of us are stubborn and refuse to change so will go without. Me usually.

I just want to watch humanity trying to survive. Setting up defences, becoming more self sufficient, working with other groups. The ingenuity at play.

Not more human on human suffering. It might not *sound* like fun drama, but who says it has to be? Lots of environmental things can happen to mix it up.

‪Gonna allow myself to have a little whinge. I have had a difficult week, very little sleep last night, the weather is awful, and now my mum is presenting me with problems I can't solve 😩

I'm.glad I lied about my phone number when placing my most recent internet order, because the flood of emails from the delivery service provider has started "we've got your parcel", etc. At least the text inbox is free. I should start charging people for deleting their unwanted communication. #grumble
