  2. This is #sad and #infuriating.

    75 people at a private party in #Indonesia were arrested, it was accused by the authorities of being a "#gay party".

    Shit like this is literally what triggered the #Stonewall riots in the #USA.

    I don't know the sexual orientation of the partygoers, but it shouldn’t matter: This form of state bullying is wrong either way.

    #LGBTQ #oppression #homophobia

  3. Headline: “U.S. Education Department denies federal aid for Kentucky schools”

    “One of the projects denied was in Jefferson County; $340,347.96 was originally earmarked to support students experiencing houselessness”.

    Jefferson County is Louisville, the largest city in the state. Fuck them homeless kids, I guess.

  4. I love reading Books. I love reading physical books, you know the ones that you hold in your hand. I love Foliate, which I have encountered on one of my Open Source operating system distributions.

    Since I love reading physical books it was normal and natural for me that Foliate had a regular light theme because paper is white to light yellow.

    The light theme was chosen even though my desktop had a dark team, also logical.

    Now I was fortunate enough to get a free set of fantastic books which are accessible through a DRM walled system by Amazon. Their closed Source clients did the following infuriating thing.

    When it started it up, kindle gave a brief warning that it was going to change something which turned out to be the theme which it brought to dark, and I have not found the easily accessible option to change it back to the light theme.

    How Bad a programmer must you be, to change something as important as a theme in a ebook reader and not put easily accessible option to change it back.

    I know what I'll do; I'm going to strip the DRM of the books, so that I can read them in my normally programmed Open Source eBook reader, which doesn't change the theme at all, especially not for no apparent logical reason

    Grrr

  5. @Thumper1964 @praetor @unruly We have some people in town like that for almost everything. Can be #infuriating

  6. @fooflington @hub I just recently had to deal with a service that banned me using an email address at my personal domain but permitted the `+` when I used gmail. #infuriating #weird

  7. @GottaLaff I’ll bet the number of enrollments via legacy programs—aka white affirmative action—haven’t, tho. #Infuriating

  8. @TodayInTwitter #RIP.

    I used #Nitter from time to time to access tweets that were referenced by news posts but that was it.

    #Kudos to all the #Nitter #devs who have worked their asses off for a #FreeSoftware gateway to a hostile non-free platform. I salute you! 🙋‍♂️

    Nitter's death is #Infuriating but not really surprising; the writing has been on the wall for a while now.

    Events like this just reinforce my belief that #FreeSoftware must become the default everywhere.

  9. @thomasfuchs can't see shit through the light pollution of modern LED street lights everywhere. #Infuriating

  10. So, the whole thing where #CanadaPost has been #illegally taking #information from the #mail you receive, including your #name, #address, and the #retailers you are getting #packages from, and building a #marketing #database from it, which they then #sell to #advertising mailing list services, is ~~interesting~~ #infuriating.

    "Oh, but you can opt out!" they say.

    It should be opt-in, of course, but then no one would do so.

    So go to opt out... well-played, Canada Post.

  11. Went to the beach early today and got a great spot with a great view. Went for a short walk and came back to this. A tent almost directly in front of us when they literally could have set up anywhere else without blocking anyone. #infuriating

  12. I still cant deal with the fact that plugins for #3Dprinter firm/soft ware exist called 'arc welder'. They have nothing to do with welding metal together with an electrical arc, and are just a way of smoothing out g code in to nice arcs rather than stepped/pixellated circles (like what you'd see in an old video game) that are close to an arc.

    It is #infuriating that people are OK with this blatant crime.

  13. Microsoft is out there trying to find ways to shoehorn avatars and chatbots into Teams, when all I really want is for this dialog to go away when I click "Join Online."

  14. New house probably won't have broadband connection when we move in.

    Not a big problem, but trying to find a #4G dongle for fallback usage. Unfortunately, I recently packed it away and now can't find it.
