  1. Sigh, I'm struggling with a Thing I don't like in my life, friends, but I can't change it. Well. Not immediately (unless I'm willing to face some really unpleasant consequences, and I'm not).

    I can work towards changing said Thing but that will take time, and meanwhile, I need to be OK with the status quo. This is unsettling and annoying because I've really reached the end of my tether with the Thing.

    I need to focus on radical acceptance/gratitude/what good I have in my life over the next few days. Currently I'm journalling, writing lists of 'things I love and are good in life', spending time with my favourite folk, planning some gardening...

    any other tips will be greatly appreciated. This is taking up a lot of energy and it's demoralising and sad.

  2. You know what really grinds my gears? When I look for #Fortinet memes but all I get is #Fortnite memes :blobfoxannoyed:.

    Sometimes I hate modern search engines trying to guess what they think you really meant. I need a good old lexical search for images that includes the whole web regardless of license. @Mojeek only does free licenses using Pixabay and OpenVerse. Which is often great! But sometimes not lol.

  4. #Firefox just keeps getting worse.

    I don't know exactly which version this started with, but for the last few months Firefox has been a #CPU hog for me. Even when not interacting with any browser windows, the CPU usage of various processes - the main firefox #process, the content-sandboxing #processes, the WebExtension processes - will be taking significant CPU in bursts. There's frequently an Isolate... process using ~100%, and the main process will sit at 90% for a while before jumping to 160%.

    It's significant enough that it makes actually using the #browser #annoying. Pauses for one or two seconds while typing or scrolling as it does ... whatever it's doing while chewing CPU, and these happen every few seconds. Like 3 or 4 times for each line I'm typing in this window right now.

    There's nothing obvious to account for this workload. There are no videos playing, or animations, or sound. There are no continuously-updating pages or web apps running. I have uBlock Origin (adblocker) and Privacy Badger running, which significantly reduces the amount of work the browser does because there's no ad scripts to screw around in the background. The only thing I'm actively doing in Firefox at the moment is typing this toot. And yet still it pauses constantly.

  9. Totally hating the #TotalRelief #AI #ads that are all over #youtube right now.

    In one advert a “storeman” moves a carton from one rack to another, then moves another from just beside him to a position on his other side & continues pointlessly moving things.

    That & the ads promising you can get truly buff via #TaiChi while sitting in a chair.

    Some schmuck somewhere will belief this bullshit. #annoying

  10. When I went to the IHOP website some time last year, the menu was fully accessible. Then, they changed it, and I had to use an old version from the Way Back Machine. Now, I went to the modern site again, and they are still inaccessible. After searching several sites, I finally found one that had the pdf. But I would need to open my Windows 7 virtual machine, open Openbook (ocr scanning software), load the pdf, convert it, and only then could I start reading the actual menu. Of course, I would also need to use the find command to get to the various sections, since it's not html and I can't just click on a link or go to the various headings, so that would take more time (usually, the last doesn't bother me, but it just adds more inconvenience here). So I just settled for a sampler, because my parents don't have all day to either read the menu and have me choose, or sit and wait for me to do all of the above. This whole thing took only a few minutes when the actual site was accessible. Am I missing something here, perhaps with using NVDA?

  14. Thanks to @deviantollam, I can no longer enter an elevator without feeling an itch to do ... something.

    The statement: "Use the card reader for travelling to floor 3" feels like a brasent challenge. Every. Single. Time.

    Hence; I desperately need to upskill, I mean, what could possibly go wrong? 😅

    (Also, I'm very mature for my age. 😘)

  15. Is there a way to disable @openvibe's own clickbaity push notifications on android? The options only allow me to de-select message types from my accounts, but nothing that shuts TF #openvibe itself up. #annoying

  16. #Mastermind “Can you repeat the question please?” NO, IT’S A FUCKING QUIZ SHOW WITH FUCKING QUESTIONS. WHY DIDN’T YOU LISTEN? #annoying 😱🙄

  17. Do not get fooled with #ChaosTheory as a #comedy #movie. I fell like it is more like a #ButterlyEffect2 with #cheesy acting and a #story about “it’s no one’s fault, but we have to do everything for that kiddo”.

    For me not enjoyable at all. I’d say that no character is kind of likable, all of them are #annoying in some sort of degree. Expect the kid, she’s just a victim of adults making #mistakes.

  18. Ya know, most people who haven't seen it wouldn't believe you when you told them there was a movie where Macauly Culkin was only the second-fugliest, annoying, smug asshole on screen.

  23. Vent notepads drive me insane. They are terrible.

    100% recycled paper... yay.
    Naturally dyed covers... yay.

    The pages.... wtf?!?

    I don't have OCD or anything but by the gods!!! Be entirely lined or entirely blank!!!

    Also you can make lists on a lined piece of paper, you don't need to reinvent the notepad.
