Dicks will be dicks. It’d be impossible to code #Mastodon to somehow make dick-moves impossible, but certainly it’s a #MastodonBug that I cannot post a reply to a msg that mentions me. Fair enough if their mention is stripped from my post, but it’s effectively designed so that someone can put shit under someone else’s name and block them from defending themself.

Is it #assholeDesign or #crappyDesign?

Nerd help wanted-- I would like to know how to extract the #Youtube UID from pages like this one: https://web.archive.org/web/20230602200710/www.thespruce.com/clean-your-mattress-the-natural-way-350742 I hit f12 to inspect & just get a massive blob of DIV tags. I tried cURLing the page & “grep -i youtube” & get nothing. #askFedi #crappyDesign or #assholeDesign

How are web admins managing to fuck up scrollbars? Even a school kids in the 1990s were able to create webpages with a working scrollbar. #crappyDesign

Here’s a #crappyDesign. This pic is a screw that is standard for #plumbing in Europe for fastening pipes to walls. You can screw it in, but it cannot be unscrewed. How could they screw up something as simple as a pipe fastener? This is what every #Brico sells.

There is a screw maker that sensibly makes these screws to accept a star/torx tool, but only in M6 & M8 sizes, while the plumbing industry decided to standardize on a non-existent M7 diameter, forcing the use of non-removable screws.

#Belgian residents: do not buy a hot water tank in #Brussels. They come with sacrificial anode rods that deplete in ~3—5 yrs. When you try to replace one, #Brico does not sell them. They sell the boilers but not the consumables (why is that legal?). You have to go to a professional builder’s supply shop & order one for ½ the cost of a whole new tank. #CrappyDesign #RightToRepair

This has to be #Belgium. Where else do they love to put toilets in stairwells?

@dumdumjobes Damn, that is #CrappyDesign, people don't usually read the way they intended.

Why don’t American #dishwashers have water softeners? What happens when they get limescale build-up? Is it a #crappyDesign, or are they doing something clever to not need soft water? #askFedi

#UnpopularOpinion: I prefer a #remote #control with a bunch of #buttons than a #minimalistic one.

Probably that's the reason that I love to use my #Panasonic and #Sony #TV. Then I get piss off when I got to a #relatives or #friends house and I gotta use one of those #Samsung #remotes.

I'm not too much #religious, but dear lord have mercy of my #soul each time that I gonna use a minimalistic remote.

Today, after hours of troubleshooting, I discovered a nasty bug that (according to git log) has been around for TWELVE years in a very old legacy (but unfortunately still in use) production system, causing incorrect sales statistics without anyone noticing until today. Guess who's the lucky developer to fix all that mess? #development #git #legacy #prehistoric #php #bug #crappyDesign #notMyFault #fixItAnyway

#electrifyamerica woes! Was in #sanfrancisco yesterday. Desperately looking for chargers. The ones on ocean street don’t work. Then the app said there were 2 free slots in Noriega st. What’s the point of putting 4 chargers in between 2 parking slots like this (where only 2 cars can utilize them)?? Luckily 2 of them left within a few minutes waiting.

They should just put an air intake on the top of the laptop so it doesn't overheat when you put it on a bed 🤷‍♂️ #hardware #laptop #crappydesign
