#rant — Public Fediverse posts

@akrumeich #Rant: Ich war ja bei "Second Screen" schon draußen - bin aber wirklich kein Maßstab. Dass der ÖRR aber z.B. im TV überall - egal, ob Kinokunst oder nicht - seine Teaser und Binden und Trailer-Pop-ups drüberlegt, ist eine Sauerei. "Drücken sie die grüne Taste" - während die gezeigten Inhalte respektlos behandelt werden. Gibt's das eiogentich auch im Theater? "Kommen Sie nächste Woche wieder, da zeigen wir..." kurz vorm 5. Akt?

Every app now on the App Store is a vibe coded super app. It’s getting ridiculous.. #ios #apps #vibes #rant

To all the people fixing up stuff in their houses themselves:
For god sake REMOVE the covers of light switches and wall plugs when painting a wall, rather than painting around it.

- it's literally less work and easier than painting around it in the first place.

- it will prevent paint getting on the cover, which despite using painting tape happens to most people anyhow.

- you only need to remove the cover, so no need to touch the "scary" cables. And since the inner part is kept there, it'll be just as straight as it was when placing it back so also no need to worry about crooked placement afterwards either.

- and if you (or anyone else, like construction workers or a next home owner) ever wants to change the switches or plug covers to a different design you don't have to worry about ensuring it's at least the same size or bigger and placed equally crooked as the old one (because most people don't have them hanging perfectly straight).

I will never not feel annoyed at the slightly crooked light switches on my wall that I cannot fix until I repaint the wall because of this (or well, I could fix it but then I have white corners on my otherwise green wall poking out next to them) 🥲.

I’m not descending into madness because mount and unmount icons make no sense https://lobste.rs/s/fbsrym #design #rant

I really need software developers to understand that just because you can solve a problem with code (and hey, fewer of you even do that these days!) does not make you more equipped to solve problems in other disciplines than the experts in those disciplines.

Please, have a bit more humility and curiosity. Thanks! 🙏

Really considering #Ableton Live 13 right now as they did not do the slop thing and actually shipped functionality that their customers want.

Logic is what I breathe but it is frozen in time except for some new paywalled LLM features I never asked for.

Studio One was promising but they got all weird with "Fender Studio" and subscriptions.

Ardour and Reaper are incredible but the UI is an offense.

Slår av alle AI funksjoner i Adobe Acrobat bare for å få en jævla AI pop-up, rett over teksten jeg prøver å redigere.

Korfor skal normie software være så j dårlig!?

Akkurat like nyttig som å ha en hammer hvor klo og hode er byttet ut med security torx.

I missed a call from the hospital, they left a message saying they would call back in 10min, they never did.
Today I have a SMS telling me I didn't attend my telephone appointment.

I'm currently non verbal
I didnt' have any appointment scheduled
I do have assistive tech to make and receive calls, but I don't have it turned on 24/7 as it drinks battery and I don't get many calls.

*and breathe*

The US colludes with a failed state in a genocide, for profit, so people don't even care to vote.

Gas prices go up, they vote.

Their reps get a chance to impeach a war criminal, but they simply don't show up.

I think this sums up western apathy pretty well.

If there's a trick to staying up to date with global news without becoming cynical, I would like to learn it.

Thank you for your attention to this #rant
