The reasons I'm going to limit my involvement in communities is because _every_ _single_ _one_ of them is on a different stupid chat/messaging service.

Discord. Skype. Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram. Signal. Slack, Matrix, IRC... And almost all of them (minus IRC) has this horrid electron based desktop client. Just my chat clients running eat up a very significant portion of a 16GB RAM laptop... It's ridiculous and sad.

Just send me an email, please. There, I said it.

Brick and mortar retailers, I want to support you — I really do. So please stop with the barrage of hurdles when checking me out. No, I do not have your credit card. No, I do not want one. No, I’m not giving y ou my email address, and since I said no to that, do you honestly think I’m going to give you my phone number?

Très chers développeurs : MERCI DE REMBALLER VOTRE PURIN D'ÉGO ET D'UTILISER LE DÉCORATEUR DE FENÊTRES DE MON SYSTÈME.
Il existe, IL A UN FUCKING BUT : RENDRE LES CHOSES HOMOGÈNES.

Vivaldi : 👎
Thunderbird (dernière version) : 👎

Je vous jure, on se croirait revenu à l'époque de Windows. Finalement mon râlage d'il y a 13 ans n'a pas pris une ride:
https://sebsauvage.net/rhaa/index.php?2010/01/24/18/12/22-arretez-de-ruiner-l-aspect-de-mon-bureau

Décoration standard des fenêtres de mon bureau: on a la même apparence et les mêmes boutons de fenêtre pour l'explorateur de fichiers, le centre de contrôle ou l'éditeur de texte. Vivaldi : "YOLO ON CHANGE TOUT, tiens on va mettre le bouton pour fermer à droite plutôt qu'à gauche, et on ajoute nos propres boutons."
Thunderbird : "Tiens et si on modifiait la barre en ajoutant nos propre bouton et onglets ?"

I wish more people would fight for #Podcasting the same way people are fighting for the #Fediverse.

#Meta, #Tumblr, et al, are saying that they're joining the Fediverse (I'll believe it when I see it) and everyone is trying to figure out how best to deal with that.

Meanwhile, #Spotify and #YouTube have already #EEE #Podcasts by adding music podcasts that don't sync to #RSS feeds and not providing #VideoPodcasts with RSS feeds at all. No one is batting an eyelash about that!

I wonder at what point people started having binary opinions, when we lost the ability to have nuanced discussions. It's all "you're either with us or against us", "you're either evil or good".

I've been observing this trend for several years now and it's pretty tiring, I have to say. #rant

It's one thing for a #Mastodon user to ask another Mastodon users to use CW because neither have user-defined filters that could do the same, but it's a little irritating to me when a Mastodon user makes a similar request to a #Friendica user because we do have extensive user-defined filters.

I know, I know. #Fediverse #Rant


Langsam wird es mir peinlich zugeben zu müssen, ein mittelalter weißer cis-Mann zu sein. Nicht weil ich von irgend jemandem aus der LGBTQ-Community angemauelt werde oder so, sondern wegen den weinerlichen mittelalten weißen cis-Männern. Echt jetzt, die Welt dreht sich nicht nur um Euch, kommt klar damit.

Dear #systemd…

Your #network.target is not started if it is still waiting for #IPv6 DAD.
Please do not attempt to start any service wanting network.target before all configured addresses are actually available.

I admit, I didn't imagine the depth of the obviously fractal nonsense that is systemd and "the way to go booting Linux".

People in #Rotterdam protesting because they want to keep their "right" to party....When hospitals are overcrowded, health-care staff is overworked, there is a housing crisis, energy prices are through the roof, etc... And these... I don't like to call people names, but I cannot find a polite way to refer to them... these people protest for their right to party. To party?!?! I just can't...

Coming from a country where people protest to be able to make ends meet, protest against the rampant corruption of politicians and the economical elite, where people lose their lives fighting for the well-being of their neighbors... Seeing these first-world protests fills me with disgust. These people will surely go down in history as the biggest jackasses to have ever used the word 'protest'

#Web #UX #Rant: IF THERE IS ONLY ONE INTERACTIVE ELEMENT ON THE PAGE AND IT IS A BUTTON, LET ME PRESS IT WITH "ENTER" FROM MY KEYBOARD BY DEFAULT, GOODNESS GRACIOUS!

Looking at you, GitHub Single Sign On workflow.

Ah, yes, thank you #Google for showing me all the results with "SDK" when my search query was "API", it's exactly what I was looking for.

Rant about the social media tone police


Fuck the tone police on social media. If a reply to something you wrote expresses anger, either:
  • you disagree or it's a troll and you should ignore/mute/block.
  • it's a misunderstanding and you should clear it or ask clarification.


But in no case telling people to "calm down" will improve things either for you or for them. Being angry doesn't make one automatically right, but it doesn't make one automatically wrong either.

Similarly, you can deliver the wrongest statement in a calm tone and it will still be wrong. And if you enjoy people expressing anger on Internet, well, you're a sick fuck.
