Why does every design/SM tool update it's UI every four months? I get you have to stay fresh, but come on. Wait for the 'best before' date before you throw something out 🙄

I'm mildly sad because recent updates to Linux Mint mean that my computer no longer connects to the Bluetooth adapter I plugged into my stereo, my clever hack to make my middle button a drag lock no longer works and my start menu became tiny. I'm sure that all the issues are solvable, if you have more skills than me, but I wish that things didn't break when they updated.

I am sure that keeping everything working across a vast space of configurations is a hard, hard problem, so no criticism is meant. I would like it to work though.

As it happens, just now I have a Linux laptop (Kubuntu, my own machine), a Windows laptop (supplied by work), and an old Mac laptop. I needed to use each of them today, and it really clarified what I like and don't like.

Honestly, I don't think I have had genuine happy flow experiences working on a computer for a long time. The interfaces are all miserable. I used to write code and typeset complex multilingual editions in LaTeX and it was fun. Now, sending an email is like fishing for a lost coin in a public loo.

First: I like mechanical interfaces: buttons, keyboards, trackballs. I find trackpads confusing, especially with Microsoft software. It's not intuitive, and it doesn't simplify things.

Second: I loathe both Windows and the Mac OS. One is derived from BSD, but both have so many obstacles designed to control/restrict/infantilise the operator that there is no point in trying to feel at home. There are adverts everywhere on both OS's. It's supposed to be my shed, where I fix stuff. It's not public, and it isn't yours.

Third: I really miss old Rhapsody / OpenStep. KDE offers certain functionality on Linux that I value, and I know they are doing good design and coding work...but it's overweight and confusing, just like Outlook and 365. Same for systemd. I miss BSD.

Moan over.

History post about life in 2001. Yeah, I suppose it was a while ago, but it does make me feel old.

Human sounds like she understands, but – oops – human's computer can not accept my request for a technician call out until I drive out to the house and plug in the box to a power outlet so they can attempt to send a signal through the fibre cable that I've just told them is 100% disconnected and then tell them which fecking lights are blinking on it.

But I've just told you exactly what I need!!

"Yes but the computer will not let me accept your request until…”🤖😭

God I hate computer.

Electrical upgrade in my house. Broadband fibre disconnected and moved to another room. Electricians ask me to call Vodafone to get it reconnected properly in the new room.

Call Vodafone, spend ~5 minutes trying to explain myself to “Tobi”, Vodafone’s AI pal that's fun to be with. "Tobi” does now know wtf I'm talking about. Finally redirected to holding music for 5 minutes to talk to a human.

Battery powered street preachers. SO ANNOYING! stream of drivel that's always the same.. "blah blah .. jesus.. blah .. life.. hell.. ...blah .. Jesus.. " in an endless unpunctuated flow.

In hospital for a few nights. Nothing bad, just have to have my plasma cleaned out.

They emphasise the importance of mobility, but don't want you to go anywhere.

They also emphasise the importance of rest, but will wake you at midnight for IV fluids, 3am for blood work and pain relief. It's not restful. #moan
