Folks - when you're given the pop up to manage cookies, does *anyone* say, “hmm, I'm going to allow ‘Content Performance’ and ‘Analytics’ but I think I'll turn off these other three” as opposed to rejecting all of it?

Grumbling at websites that don't have a “reject all” button, when they know that people who didn't click on "accept” aren't looking to fine-tune the experience 😡

Apple is so opaque about software updates. What's changed should be listed IN THE UPDATE SCREEN! And I don't mean a single sentence about the new features they're proud of.

The link they provide takes you to a table where you can manually check for any security fixes.

I should not have to read various third party bloggers, who took the update for a test drive, just to know what's in it.

Contemplating a Lenovo instead, given recent news.

Seriously, Github developers have never used their product. I can only unsubscribe from repository subscriptions 25 at a time via the UI. If I have hundreds or thousands of issues because I worked on a project in the past I should be able to bulk unsubscribe. What a shitty experience Github is these days. #github #badux #wtf #developer

There is a button on @Vivaldi mobile that closes all tabs. Everything, just poof. All carefully crafted groups with all tabs gone. And it's placed on the top right where I pull down the menu for the phone.

It's such a stupid feature placed in such a stupid location that I'm about to ditch Vivaldi all together. It's not worth the hassle.

Not even a "restore" button.

Znajomi namawiają, żeby w Gwinta pograć. Taka mobilna gierka na Androida w świecie Wiedźmina. W każdym razie z tego co widzę to odpaliłem to kiedyś w 2020 roku, potem zostawiłem, ale gra tego nie załapała. Żadnego samouczka, żadnych poradników, żadnych opcji przejścia jeszcze raz po zasadach. Ni cholery nie pamiętam o co w tym chodziło, odpaliłem jakąś przypadkową rozgrywkę to dostałem łupnia nawet nie wiem dlaczego. Za to dostałem jakąś nagrodę za regularne logowanie! ;)

How I HATE the "new" GUI pattern (that must come from Gnome, I presume) that a dialog window from an app can not be moved around without moving the parent window with it.

That's the whole point of a dialog window… Otherwise, you should have replace the window by the dialog content.

But if I want to move the dialog window, it's because I want to see what's underneath, so don't attach the move of the parent to the dialog, it defeats the purpose and makes me want to throw my computer away.

Okta, for an authentication system, has so many rough edges and bad user experiences.

In the portal, and click the Sign Out button? Yeah, doesn't do anything.

Already logged in, but touching something that requires 2FA? Tell the user that, and give them options on what 2FA to trigger.

My org doesn't allow Windows Hello, so if I login with that, having Okta Verify pop up, with a big "Windows Hello confirmation <disabled>" doesn't help me, I can't use that to 2FA.

I eventually managed to log in. Apparently the account lockout was temporary, the dialog just didn't bother to say so and went straight to the "shit's fucked, get help" error message.

My new Windows password hasn't migrated to my Microsoft account (🤔) so now I'm just locked out of Teams. I'm in no rush to fix that.

The company's payroll is due today thanks to the bank holiday this week, and that's my responsibility with a professional certification on the line, so I do not have the option to wait for support from IT. Even for incredibly advanced tasks like "turning on my computer".

Fortunately (?) I also have an app for the company's password manager on my phone, and very nearly everything I do is SaaS, so I am now doing the company's payroll on my personal laptop. Which is now accessing every employee's personal information and has none of the security vetted and certified by the company, just whatever free privacy tools I happen to have.

You know, "security".
