Æ Sea F.I thought Jira couldn't get any worse. And then the employer upgrades Jira to the next level of absurdity version. I was wrong 🤦
StereobarRanting turns a bad January mood into a self-deprecating, absurdist two-minute complaint. Somehow it works.

Chatters be crying in my damn twitch chat because I cannot read chat frequently. These people have to understand that my current setup is not a streaming setup with two monitors.
Chatters, I say this, you are NOT entitled to make people read your messages. Stop acting like that and just grow the fuck up.
As a matter of fact, why do I keep streaming to these people to begin with? Streaming is a habit! It's like a caffeine addiction that takes over an entire being.
Mx. Chara Aznable (they/them) of the Pnictogen WingI've grown up with computers since before my teen years even, I got my first Internet account in 1993, I've watched decades of corporate rot and political corruption of U.S. high-tech culture, and I must say: there's a white-hot core of rage inside me over how computing and geek culture got taken over by all the fuckin' NARCS. Tech and programming got coopted by all the snottiest, fashiest, bootlickiest dweebs, ice-cold neo-fascist minions like John Carmack and Roko Mijic, people who see no higher purpose for technology than serving the whims of the police state and figuring out new ways to slaughter people at a safe distance. I remember in the 1990s when you started to see crap like the NSA openly headhunting for ambitious programmers, and the U.S. Army trying to make war seem like slaying a dragon in a videogame, and gawd I remember laughing and my friends laughing but the joke was on us! Geeks responded to that shite. The money was too good, the power too intoxicating, and heaven help us all, there really and truly exist geeks who can make themselves feel like slaughtering [insert slurs here] with some drones is heroically equivalent to being a Knight of the Round Table.

Ari SovijärviI swear dealing with complaints to big companies goes something like this:
I call them. No one answers, the recording tells to send them an e-mail or fill some form.
No one ever replies to the e-mail or form.
I give them a 1 star review. I'm almost instantly contacted by a customer service rep, whose mandate is to get me take that review down.

Sam Stephens#ranting why does no one on this platform include links? I'm continually seeing interesting comments about what is clearly a news story, with no link to said news.
Dávid BárdosCome on, #microsoft, it's 2025. How hard would it be to make #Outlook themeable.
Imagine using a solarized, catpuccin, nord or monokai theme in Outlook 🤩 instead of the current while-on-black and black-on-white. 😵
Even Win 3.1 had more color schemes than Outlook now. And you were able to add your own ones. In 1992!

Peter Ries 🚲🌞Earlier today I had a fully functional VPS server, running caddy, which served up 4 web sites, perfectly. The files for those static sites were in folders owned by 'root'. (That becomes relevant soon)
The server also has docker running, so I thought I would install an app there which would provide web analytics for my sites (goatcounter).
I defined the docker compose file, started it up in docker and two things happened: goatcounter refused to run (never got to know why), and my 4 web sites started throwing error 403 (unathorized). They refused to load all of a sudden.
After much struggle, I moved the files for those sites to a new folder, made the 'caddy' user own the files and the 403 went away, but now I am left wondering how goatcounter could have caused that.
I get that caddy needs access to the sites' files, but it was running just fine before and I did not change the permissions on those files. This is the mystery I have no explanation for and it's killing me.
