You know what really grinds my gears? When I look for #Fortinet memes but all I get is #Fortnite memes .

Sometimes I hate modern search engines trying to guess what they think you really meant. I need a good old lexical search for images that includes the whole web regardless of license. @Mojeek only does free licenses using Pixabay and OpenVerse. Which is often great! But sometimes not lol.

I live next to a guy with a Harley. The bike is solid. The music? Absolute garbage. He cranks it like we all signed up for a concert nobody wanted. I didn’t ask for surround sound suffering at 7pm. Keep the engine, ditch the playlist. #noise #music #neighbors #motorcycle #annoying

#Firefox just keeps getting worse.

I don't know exactly which version this started with, but for the last few months Firefox has been a #CPU hog for me. Even when not interacting with any browser windows, the CPU usage of various processes - the main firefox #process, the content-sandboxing #processes, the WebExtension processes - will be taking significant CPU in bursts. There's frequently an Isolate... process using ~100%, and the main process will sit at 90% for a while before jumping to 160%.

It's significant enough that it makes actually using the #browser #annoying. Pauses for one or two seconds while typing or scrolling as it does ... whatever it's doing while chewing CPU, and these happen every few seconds. Like 3 or 4 times for each line I'm typing in this window right now.

There's nothing obvious to account for this workload. There are no videos playing, or animations, or sound. There are no continuously-updating pages or web apps running. I have uBlock Origin (adblocker) and Privacy Badger running, which significantly reduces the amount of work the browser does because there's no ad scripts to screw around in the background. The only thing I'm actively doing in Firefox at the moment is typing this toot. And yet still it pauses constantly.

Just clicked over to reddit to check on a few subs that have always been fun/valuable…. 3 of the 5 most recent posts in my feed, that I clicked to read, were AI. So frustrating. The folks on there who are clicking through & looking at accounts and reporting back “they're shilling their app" or "account is only 40 minutes old and posted to 50+ subs”, etc. are heroes. What a waste of time. #ai #reddit #annoying
