@Lisasali I’ve never seen an Email program in the #Windows realm that even comes close to Pine. Several years ago I went with a shell account for a time because I missed it so much. And I liked Lynx as well. #WhenIWasYourAge #GetOffMyLawn
The automated text shit is really starting to bother me. I don't mind getting reminders for upcoming appointments, but when the reminders include instructions that don't relate to my situation, it just proves how little the person using the automated system really cares about their customers. This guy is coming to do a tuneup on a 6 hp Suzuki outboard motor. There is no boat, there is no key, and he'll have to bring his own equipment if he wants to run the motor.

Most recent #Android update (on Motorola Moto g54) has broken some apps, and the only way I have found to fix the issue is to turn on #GestureNavigation. I don't like gesture navigation, I liked the way it worked before.
I can't help wondering if this is deliberate. Any #UI experts have any comment?
Scrolling through pages and pages of ready-to-eat and microwave pop corn before finally finding a lone bag of popping corn kernels to make your own.

After this, I will not utter the term “vibe coding” again. No. Just no.
I blame teh smartphones. Seriously, the number of phone zombies that get in my way in the CBD, walking erratically with no spatial awareness while they look at TikTok or whatever... [grrr]

Sigh. Okay, I guess it's "bold face lie" now. Fine.
Is it just me or are my LED bulbs going out now just as fast as my old incandescent bulbs? It felt like when I first started using them that they seemingly lasted forever. Are they building in obsolescence or am I crazy?
Every single day ... and not simply once per day...
"Was XX made this way specfically as terrible as possible so that I'll eventually give up and buy a YY?"
"Why does XX get worse with every single system update? Do they know anything about regression testing at all?"
"Do they only operate on the idiotic notion of 'Move Fast, Break Everything?' as if we were still in 2009 web2.0 and testing in production? Also, only lazy unimaginative chuds think that everything needs to be tested in production!"
"Do they really think everyone is an A or a B in their poorly conceived deployment process? 'well, some percentage of our users can suffer as long as we remain profitable by ZZ% so we definitely A/B test in production!'"
I hate this stupid bottle-episode trend. When TV used to be 24 episodes a season, sure, take an episode to do a random story. But with 10 episode seasons? Even if it's a good bottle episode (like tonight's Mythic Quest about Pootie) it's still robbing us of, like, a tenth of a season!

@singingnala Reason number 6337.666 why Meepers pays for Aira. Because when your 78 year old grandmother thinks she can take a faxable quality picture with... an iPhone SE 2020. #GetOffMyLawn Also it's funny as fuck to me to be able to tell the old people to get off my technological lawn with my 50 mp camera, google pixel 9 Pro and an Aira agent that can crop images for me so I can fax them.
I don't think there exists one middle school kid that doesn't ride their bike with their helmet hanging on the handlebars #getOffMyLawn
A few years ago my friends and I met regularly for happy hour at our fav restaurant/bar. The bartender got to know me, and I knew if he was working because by the time I sat down a mango marg would be waiting for me. Today I had a similar experience, but it was at the pharmacy. #getOffMyLawn
!["Additionally, they are instructed to build and execute the project in order to test it, which is where the initial compromise happens,” security researcher Matéj Havranek said.
