I do blame Microsoft for a lot of it--the constant badgering to use a MS account for your user account, shoving OneDrive down my throat, etc.--but there's weird poo poo in the details, like a network card setting that just...turns it off when idle?? No, goddamn you, we use this as a mail/Website server! It has to stay online! I've been upgrading computers since the 3.1 days, and this is by far the worst loving migration I have ever dealt with, and it should be straightforward as hell. Luckily I only have to do it once every decade or so. My general experience with windows file sharing is to never do it. I don't even try anymore, and instead use warpinator (a windows version named winpinator exists) to move files between computers on the same network.

I get the day to myself so I set up to record myself playing music and suddenly my one cat who I hardly ever even see is MEOWING at me. I'm like what. And she just kinda walks off. Comes back and does it again when I get started! Troll.

"Starting soon, you'll have to have an account to be allowed to control the smart lights you paid for!" I've been allowed to control my lights and poo poo with their app (Philips Hue) without a user account for years, but now they insist that I make a user account as well, or I'm going to get locked out of using my lights the way they're intended to? I really wish the EU would roll out some 'Hey smart-X companies, you're not allowed to lock functionality behind accounts unless it's absolutely critical and necessary' laws or something. It's just stupid how the entire ecosystem worked fine without needing a user account up until now, except for where it was actually needed. (Remote/over-internet access, for example.) But now there's just a giant ol' banner at the top of the app insisting I make an account or lose access. (The banner is of course the most annoying part.) I'd be way less annoyed if they'd just forced accounts from the beginning, instead of pushing it from optional to required a few years later.

People who sleep too much. If you go to bed early and you wake up late? What's wrong with you? It's kind of annoying when people want to call it a night early because they're early risers, but it's understandable. Some of us function better later in the day and like to sleep in, some of us function better in the morning and like to go to bed early. But I know multiple people, who I know for a fact do not get up early, but also don't stay up late. They're apparently sleeping something like ten or eleven hours a night. Or at least being in bed for that long. I'm sure that's worse for them than it is for me since they have to live their entire lives with so many fewer hours available to them, but... I'd make the effort to get up early to maximise the time we have to do stuff together, except that I don't have to because you're sleeping as late as I am and yet somehow still getting tired hours before I do.

For as necessary as sleep is for humans it's some real bullshit how bad we can be at it. and yeah 'depression' but also 'stress', 'anxiety', 'sleep apnea', etc etc... Hell, 'fatigue' is a listed symptom for almost every kind of illness under the sun.

It's not uncommon for people to be on their phone/tablet/reading etc in bed. When I'm at home, I usually only read while in bed, so sometimes I'll flop into bed an hour or two before bedtime to relax and read, or watch some youtube etc before going to bed. But also yeah, back when I was really struggling more with depression/stress I'd spend ages just trying to fall asleep, just to wake up in the middle of the night and try to fall asleep again. Easily 10 hours or so in bed to maybe get a bad night's worth of sleep.

If I didn't have a job I'd probably never get up before sunset and only go to sleep just before sunrise because that's the time of day my brain functions the best. Doing anything in sunlight seems wrong. Alas very few companies function on that schedule Maybe I should take up burglary.

Every time. You put something out on (local craigslist), you set up a price that's very sensible and a bit lowballed compared to the other things being sold. You flip on the 'buy it now at this price' option. And some jackass rolls up 'hello yes i bid (shameless underbid/half the price) can i have it??'. It's annoying that you can only give people reviews after you've gone through a transaction with them (makes sense though, to some extent.), but I really wish I could give the people who do nothing except rolling up with terrible shitbids and waste your time negative reviews. (It also means you can't give poor reviews to people who do poo poo like schedule a loving handover and then don't goddamn show up. Because you didn't complete a transaction/sell it to them.)

It reminds me of when my parents and I had a garage sale and this family came up the driveway, looked around, and left. Then the young daughter came back up, was like "can I get this bike free?" We kinda obviously were like, nah. She just sucked her teeth at us and walked away saying poo poo under her breath. I guess it was worth a try?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_considered_the_worst#Songs This list blows. Some of the entries, like Achy Breaky Heart and We Built This City, 100% belong there. But then Sussudio? True (Spandau Ballet)? Bullshit. The idiot quoted in the blurb for Sussudio saying that it "could have been a song played by the Third Reich" is a real stretch, to say the absolute least. You may not even like the song or Phil Collins but it's hardly the worst song ever written. Check out the 'Songs You Hate' thread for far better examples.

I just looked at the youtube front page in an incognito window, and boy is it bleak. If you're not using an account, and/or using the front page instead of youtube.com/feed/subscriptions, then yeah you're going to have trouble finding anything even remotely good. Get recommendations from actual humans, subscribe to the ones you like, and use the subs feed. You can be free of the algorithm. Many youtube people make quality videos, but you won't get them from the front page, because they're trying to have a consistent audience that wants what they're doing (and supports them on patreon or whatever) rather than chase trends and go viral. So they don't show up in the algorithm unless you've really trained your account to recommend you their kind of stuff (whatever that may be). What kinda stuff are you looking for?

We've talked about it in the GBS "Post how things got shittier" thread, but MAN, Gmail search has just taken a giant loving poo poo-dive. It's almost like it's trying TOO HARD. Like, "Oh you searched for 'Electri'* to find your electricity bill? Well I found emails with the word "Electric Statement"... I will show you one of those...but not the most recent, the one from July...I'll also show you results that include a word you didn't search for, but we found in the first result we gave you, so...good enough, right? Seriously, look at this, this is a search from just now:  Because the first result (again, why it's the electric statement from July and not September, IDK) had the word "Burlington", I guess it figures I want to ALSO get results for that, so I get a generic email from the Burlington DPW about an issue with their online portal. And then another electric statement...from May. *Oh, maybe it's my fault for not typing out the whole word 'electric'? Ok, let's do that and see what we get:  Ok, we don't have that random DPW result. I get three electric statements, all of them being too old/not the most recent, and then two emails about my recent visits to an Urgent Care. I can assure you, nothing about my visits were related to "Electricity", and the urgent care is not in Burlington. Like...why in God's name are those in the search results at all?!
