Sharing to Mastodon using any browser in iOS does not allow pasting copied text. You have to post first, go to mastodon, hit your profile pic in the bottom right, select edit post, then you can paste text. No other social media platform or app, native app or mobile website exhibits this behavior.

So I think I’ll stop posting to Mastodon as it’s tedious compared to posting to x or Bluesky or even UpScrolled.

This isn't enough to make a full post, but...

While filling a form to company that says: "If you don't use AI, you are LATE!", in the form there is an input (select) for "Are you X?", with Yes and No options.

Followed by a mandatory input (textarea) with "If you selected 'yes'..."

God, ask your fucking AI to fix this, mandatory fields are for mandatory information, unless you shit system can't allow for dependents mandatory fields...

Whoever specified this packaging needs to go and do a different job!

"Squeeze pads and turn to open" it says on the top. I can see how it's _meant_ to work: you push in the sides of the lid so it goes from circular to oval, and the catches at the long ends of the oval disconnect and let you turn the lid. But it won't do it! The amount it's able to be squeezed is insufficient to make the catches go past. I think I'm going to need a screwdriver to stick under the edges and lever the lid outward.

Really seems like nobody actually tested it! Maybe the prototype was made of softer plastic?

And I've not even got arthritis, which makes this kind of squeezing task even more unpleasant.

The most pernicious thing about this nonsense is that once I've got the lid off, I'm not going to want to put it back on, thus obviating the whole point of having supposed safety lids at all. It's like when you make people change their password every month and they can't remember all the different ones, so they just have it on a post-it on their monitor.
