Somehow the order of my „recently closed tabs“ list in Safari (on iOS at least) is upside down. Means, the oldest are on top and I‘d have to scroll two kilometers to reach the one I just accidentally closed. Who at Apple thinks this is a good idea? Was it always like this or is this a recent change?

HOLY FUCK, this dumb-arse payslip system (which I've been using for several years).

Me: *logs in*
System: You need to change your password every 180 days! You can't use any of your last 13 passwords!
Me: *generates new random password*
System: Thank you! You are now logged out.
Me: *logs in*
System: This is the first time that you've logged in to view payslips (or your email or password recently changed) so we need you to tell us your National Insurance Number.
Me: I wonder which of those it could be 🙄

And this is on top of the fact that they switch from proper 2FA to code-by-email about a year back 😐

Me: [creates MS Teams meeting]
Me: [tries to join Teams meeting]
Microsoft: Hi, random criminal. No idea who you are, but maybe someone will let you into this meeting someday. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

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.

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.
