#exasperated — Public Fediverse posts

Many of us left Twitter or Facebook very intentionally. If you must post screenshots from those hellscapes, at least label them as being from Twitter or Facebook, so we can filter that crap out of our timelines. But also just don't screenshot them at all, especially text that ought to remain as text.

Is there a name for the particular brand of gaslighting where they report on a "new study" that confirms something that was already proved years ago?

Why do so many highly intelligent, well educated people think that being vaccinated against COVID means you absolutely cannot catch or spread infection? We know that isn't true. Why doesn't everyone know?

Gah… WTH!? Stop telling me in the morning that I need to restart my PC. That's why I left it on overnight. Just freaking do it! If some app is "preventing" it, just kill the app!!

I freaking hate that any time I try to Google anything (even an abstract concept) the first thing that comes up is a list of products for sale that Google insists my inquiry was really about.

Most of the new research about unexpected horrors of COVID19 infection are just rehashing old information we already knew in 2020 but refused to listen to then. Will "new" research really convince people when the original did not?

I'm finally! done with the white part :blobexpressionless:

I'm using odds and ends of hand me down floss for this project, and the whites in particular have been tricky - since it's one large swathe of colour even minute changes in tone are obvious at a distance. I carefully tried to make a seemless gradient (in the off-white part) from almost white to slightly more beigy white, flanked by the darkest of the whites in strategic places to soften the edges.
It went pretty well, actually, untill I ran out of my pre-sorted strands with about a centimeter left. I think I've redone that last part more than five times? Desperately trying to find a colour match among the leftover floss that didn't look too bright nor dark. I think I finally managed it. Either way, I'm calling it done.

For the love of all that is good and right in the universe, stop calling it "AI".

It's barely three algorithms in a trenchcoat.

😠😭

I just helped a family member fill-in a badly designed online membership form for a non-for-profit sporting organisation. It was bad enough that they asked for gender (mandatory question, two options M or F). But far, far, far worse: they *also* asked for *gender at birth*, same options! There's no way to participate in the organisations activities without completing this form, so a stark choice to conform or piss off.

Horrid, horrid, horrid.

Ugh… I opened the window because it's actually too warm in here (in late October in Detroit), but the traffic outside is so loud that I can't hear the audio from tutorial videos on YouTube. 😭

Also, why does everything have to be a friggin' video?? Just put it in text with images. 🙏
