Microsoft gripe of the day: no longer can you (easily) find files by filename in Explorer, instead it asks "Try describing an image or file"
WHY CAN I NOT SEARCH FOR "MYFILENAME.TXT"!! OR "MYFILE*.*"?!?!

Pet peeve: product managers who "help produce product documentation" by outsourcing it to an LLM and then never even taking the time to read and check the output.
In the time it takes me to fix this garbage, I could have just written it myself, and with much higher quality.

Judging by the number of "breaks" I've been taking all afternoon, I seem to be a bit irked and anxious about my writing -->revising -->formatting -->publishing workflow.
Seems unnecessarily clunky and cumbersome(this also includes the sudden, inexplicable loss of any spelling ability I may have, previously, possessed).
Hopefully, this year, I can improve on the process.

GRRRRRR!!!
Could Android's voice dictation be any WORSE? I swear, i feel like it's some kind of completely malicious bastard that's deliberately trying to screw up what I say in whatever ridiculous way possible.
Unless I talk like Mad Davros. For some reason it behaves itself perfectly when I use that voice.
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"
But people tend to look at me strangely if I use that voice in public. 🙄

Interview a forecaster at the NWS, folks, not people who go viral on the Nazi website.
"prominent climate blogger" is not a qualification for weather prediction.

We live in a managerocracy. Everyone wants to be a "manager", nobody wants to do the work. It's not surprising GenAI bullshit machines are so popular as you can cosplay being a manager, while "outsourcing" all the work.

The lastest FOSS Academic post is a whiny, weedy gripe session where I talk about being nervous about installing new Linux distros:
https://fossacademic.tech/2025/11/09/contained.html
Basically, between Snaps, Flatpaks, Wayland, and Secure Boot, installing a fresh Linux distro on a machine isn't quite as fun as it used to be. But, what can I do? Switch to Microsoft?Hell, no!

Okay, I have decided that my settings and filters not working on stuff boosted by those I follow is my biggest gripe with Mastodon. There I’ve said it and can release.

Current pet peeve: Podcast hosting sites that don't put any metadata in the MP3 files. Artist? Title? Nah, you get filename and you'll like it. And it's not like they don't *have* the metadata. It's right there in the stupid embedded player iframe. They're just not going to put it in the audio file, because why would you ever download a file instead of listening from our beautiful iframe?

Spent most of the day cleaning up a hacked website. Computers might have been a mistake. WordPress definitely was.

Gripe: I got a parking ticket for being within 20ft of a crosswalk. It was right in front of my place where I’ve parked for years and was not in the red zone. That doesn’t matter, though, because I learned the California “Daylighting” law (CVC 22500) does not require painted curbs to be cited. So, heads up out there.
I think the 20ft rule is good, but this implementation of it sucks. It went into effect January 1 and supposedly they had a grace period of 60 days where they issued warnings, but I never received one.

Folks, when placing your carry-ons in the overhead compartment, you should place them ON THEIR SIDES so the compartment space can be maximized.
I'm amazed how many travelers haven't learned this yet...
Not doing so is inconsiderate for those boarding later who then needlessly struggle to find space for their carry-ons.
