Gnome3's reliability has absolutely tanked recently. Tracker in particular is a troublesome piece of shit.
There is no excuse for shitty housekeeping processes to run away and crash the whole OS. None.

the delta boarding taxonomy is some real celestial emporium shit. pre-boarding, families, active military, first class, gold medallion, silver medallion, tungsten sphere, SKY, unaccompanied children, accompanied children, zone 1, anyone named "larry," zone √2, zone 2, et cetera, zone 3, people who have already boarded, minor and outlying zones

UPS Quantum View now requiring registration for viewing tracking numbers, which is irritating.

it seems like encryption is hacky authorization a lot of times. an authorization policy clearly states who can access what information and when. it enforces the policy with multiple mechanisms, including encryption. ideally, it also detects and alerts when the policy is violated.

when a service brags about encrypting stuff, what they're saying to me is that they've done the bare minimum to start keeping people from looking at stuff they shouldn't be. hacky.

"And that was the problem with 1968. People went ahead and built those things without worrying much about the consequences, because they figured that, by 2018, we’d have come up with all the answers. Toward 2019!"

Google photos threw this uo in my memories from 6 years ago, I saw this little scamp on my walk into work, in the yard of a very large house. He always wanted to play. Sometimes would bring his ball to the railings.

How's everyone's Winter weather been?
It's been very mild this Christmas holiday. It's nearly 56F today and climbing; last year the *high* was 12F / -11C. These are more like early Spring temperatures. We will almost certainly get some hard snaps in January.

From dev attitudes alone, Mastodon does feel like the systemd of the fediverse.

@sullybiker I think I know why this happened :-)
You typed a Title for your toot. The title became CW in Mastodon.

Leaving aside the data mining and privacy issues which have plagued it from the start, Gmail was a useful and powerful email client, hence the popularity.

It's therefore a surprise that Google have so utterly fucked it up. It's a slow, clunky mess now.

I don't know what gets into vendors. Why the fuck would you send an email (subject: "Happy Holidays") and then a day later one saying "REMINDER: Happy Holidays".

Seriously, fuck off.
