Sometimes it's even more annoying when your neighbours play music in the afternoon that you almost hear well enough to be disturbed, but can't quite make out, than when they play heavy metal loudly at 2 am.

Dear Dropbox, no, for the 10,000th time, I really really really don't want to try the new beta on my Mac. Is there really no way to completely stop these popups every few days?

#Dropbox #Mac #Software #Tech #Annoyance

I sure do with I could convince Dropbox that I really, really, really, don't want to install their beta version on my Mac. I'm perfectly happy to wait for a release, and don't need to be bugged every single week about it.

My most recent proprietary OS #annoyance: #Apple now has "widget suggestions" for widget stacks, and it's enabled by default for all stacks, so now the Facebook widget is appearing in every single one of my widget stacks on my iPhone's home screen. I'm playing whack-a-mole trying to get rid of them. Seriously, Apple? Whoever thought that was a good idea should be fired immediately.

13/20 They're not trying to be #hurtful. I'm sure it's #annoying as hell to have to repeat every third sentence you say to someone. But that #annoyance shows through, for virtually everyone. I can hear the #frustration, the #disappointment, the #anger in the voice even if I can't make out the #words.

I again deleted the #linkedin app from my phone.
Not only because of the possible distraction, but more because of #annoyance with the #timeline.

Back in days when I was a user on the birdsite, I switched to an alternative client to have a cleaner and linear(!) timeline.

LinkedIn totally sucks with its “algorithmic” timeline: weekly and two-weekly reappearances of posts. Especially of posts that mention a date or an event.

Well, thank you LinkedIn for making me quit on this app.

Oh, and #Mozilla, instead of spending so much time removing features from #Firefox, maybe spend some of that effort on not introducing bugs?

v.112 is now saving downloads to the last folder I *uploaded* a file from, despite having configured it to always download to a specific dir.

Aaaaghhh! 😡🤬

I don't believe it - after 2 days of contorting into the driver's footwell of my Yaris, and feeding through, stripping, and attaching connectors to wires which I could barely see, taking phone pics of inaccessible areas, and trying to convert them to a mental map of the hidden 3D space up behind the dashboard, thinking how this was actually 🧑‍🔧Fun🧑‍🏭 to me when I was 40 years younger, when you didn't have to wonder if there was any way to inadvertently set off an airbag,
I did the last connection, THEN found the clips which released the panel which I have been constantly and vehemently cursing as I worked around it!

The blocking panel just detaches, and voilà, it's like the engineers meant for the car to be easy to work on🤦‍♂️

<deeeep breath>

Looks like I'll have to connect that last, optional wire that I wasn't going to bother with, now that everything is suddenly so open, and accessible, and easy to see, and trivial to get at …

but I'll do that *after* my session of rhythmically banging my head on my desk.

Does anyone have attack cardinals slamming into to their windows from sunrise to well into the afternoon? He stands on the sill and repeatedly slams his chest into the window and pecking it to.

Nothing seems to deter him.

Suggestions?

6/ w/ a #surveyexperiment we did an initial exploration of respondent willingness to commit to a dignity agenda.

We randomly assigned a control msg (C) or 1 of 4 short, affect-based messages encouraging such commitment.

C: a #reflection Q
T1: #annoyance msg
T2: #disgust msg
T3: #joy msg
T4: #satisfaction msg

This is a #Mastodon #annoyance
- requires clicking
- easy to miss
- indefensible when image descriptions are required to assist the visually impaired

I don't fully endorse this position, but am considering it:

#Pandora's treating of #keyboard #input as more automated / spammy / botty than #mouse input for play / pause is an #accessibility and #discrimination issue.

(context: clicking Play always works, pressing space sometimes works, sometimes produces an immediate "are you still listening?" prompt)

Looking past the fact that I already have a subscription (and am signed into it on this exact device), these damn ads are really crummy to fire into apps. #microsoft #annoyance

Self checkout lines should only be for a couple items max not when you have several items. It's so much slower compared to a cashier when you have a lot of stuff! Please stop this trend. Plus it's terrible for physically disabled folks who might not have the means and have to rely on an another busy employee.

Tusky is fine and all, but far too often I tap to boost or like and it thinks I've missed the button and it just loads the toot when I didn't want that. The button trigger area is too small.
