  3. Damn. I need to get my septic tank pumped. Got some seepage percolating up to the surface of the drain field. Sigh…yet another several hundred dollar unexpected expense. As if the cost of living wasn’t bad enough already. Gonna need new tires soon as well. No longer as ‘liquid’ as I used to be, so these pop-up expenses are a real pain. #gripe #grumble #affordability

  4. People try their best, this is an aimless grumble.

    See when well meaning Multiple Sclerosis groups email with a “We’d love your opinion on Y” and they give absolutely no reminders as to how you may have known about or signed up to Y in the first place. My goodness it’s a lot.

    Thanks for the reminder that my memory is shot and the homework to validate who you are before I do the thing you wanted me to do.

    Especially when they have vague, easy to forget names!

    Chairs for fat boys be spensive.

  7. What dingdong decided that the first week of the new year is a good time to host what has become a major annual technology conference?

    Also, what dingdong decided that datacenter products should be announced at something originally called the “Consumer Electronics Show?”

  8. What is it with companies and organizations sending 3-4 emails PER DAY around the holidays? Don't they realize that makes me want to unsubscribe and never buy from/donate to them ever again? Are there people who AREN'T annoyed by multiple emails per day?

  9. That’s twice in as many days I’ve been “blessed” by a pigeon. #grumble #GhostOnTour

  10. I really like the readability of the Mastodon App for Android. But the "Duplicate Post" bug is quite irritating. Its been hanging around for the past year or so. So I stick with the venerable, but still awesome Moshidon.

    I figure that available resources probably go towards the iOS app first... but ....

    ... grumble grumble.

  12. Battery powered street preachers. SO ANNOYING! stream of drivel that's always the same.. "blah blah .. jesus.. blah .. life.. hell.. ...blah .. Jesus.. " in an endless unpunctuated flow.

  13. Just started a new game of Lord of the Rings: The Third Age on my PS2 emulator. I can only get it to run with a gamepad, and my USB hub keeps going in and out. I only have 2 slots on this junky old ass laptop. I need a new USB hub.

  16. If you have a FAQ on your site, please include anchor links for each entry.

    In fact, if you are creating content on the web... please consider using anchor links for headings of all kinds, and anything else that people might want to link directly to. #grumble #web #webdev

  17. @hayesstw Because so many people want to monetize our interaction with their web sites, they don’t write plain HTML anymore. What we see is a thin veneer of content on surveillance and exploitation software. #grumble

  18. CW: a grumble about tech-related assumptions

    The fair pay campaign leaflet had a QR code, but with my phone it didn't actually work - I suspect because of the reversed colour-scheme.

    I guess either they didn't test it at all or they tested it with swankier cleverer phones.

    And there was no web address anywhere on the flyer, not even in small print! (The article above is one I looked up by searching.)

    It strikes me as classic present-day "romance of clever tech". Where is the basic common sense of "not everyone has the same phone" or "what's the fallback if the technical cleverness doesn't work".

  19. ‪Gonna allow myself to have a little whinge. I have had a difficult week, very little sleep last night, the weather is awful, and now my mum is presenting me with problems I can't solve 😩
