  1. @MisterMaker don't mind if I hijack this for a recovered-from twitter post :)

    "Today's moment is brought to you by Parkside cordless air compressor.
    If I were able to change 1 thing, it'd be to either switch to belt drive or to internally toothed gears."

    "What good are numbers in an explosion drawing when the part names and numbers are not given? One would think that @lidl
    would perhaps be able to offer sub-assembly no. 5 to prevent the whole unit from landing in the trash."

  3. Bemoaning continues….

    In iOS 26.2 the situation has not appeared to change for me the end user. Maybe I am wrong but it still seems to be crappy.

    I saw other toots about this, so I wanted to lend my voice to the complainers and bemoaners.

    I expect that I am a bemoaner because I will not likely abandon my weekend coffee drinking Linux tutorial hobby. And I should not expect improvement, as Apple has a long time reputation for stubbornness when it is suggested that a design is sub-optimal. For example, how many years did people complain about MacBook keyboards while Apple kept denying there was a problem?

    I am glad that I did not put “spend less time bemoaning on my list of new year resolutions.”




  4. From the #youtube #android app : It seems like they redisigned the thumbs up icon, but they couldn't be bothered to flip it 180° for the thumbs down icon, so they both look different and now I can't unsee it haha

  5. fingerprint sensors should be...

    Please comment your reasoning below, boosting is appreciated.

  6. The person who thought it is a good idea to place a lock key right above the backspace key should rot in hell.

  7. @wallamidyl It’s an intersection where cars are rewarded & cyclists are punished. Cyclists end up just running reds at this #crappyDesign intersection. There are other parts of the same city where they actually dug a tunnel just for cyclists. That’s obviously on the right path toward incentivizing cycling but if they did that everywhere you’d wonder how the city could afford it.

  9. 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

  11. #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

  12. Not to be dramatic, but the charge cable for my Microsoft #Surface #laptop is one of the worst things that's ever happened to me.

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

  15. 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

  16. 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

  17. 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

  19. @fmuellner
    - dropdown has no reference to the button
    - button has no indication that it can retract the dropdown
    - “Shutdown” title is too large and should be muted
    - “shutdown” icon is useless

  20. If you visit the #Lynx homepage using a graphical browser over Tor, a #Sucuri blockade denies access. But if you run “torsocks lynx lynx.invisible-island.net/lynx suddenly your Tor IP becomes acceptible to their access rules. #crappyDesign by #selectiveSecurity
