Microwave manufacturers need to either make power settings easier to use or they need to give me a backspace button so I don't have to do a billion extra button pushes every time I make what should be a minor goof.

Telegram sure likes to update a lot. But they do it right. Requires you to hit the update button (vs automatic), the update is fast (<5s usually), the program reopens w/o an involved re-login process, and the updates seem tested (e.g., don't break everything). #software #techgripe

But I believe

If a computer isn't actively engaged in activities specifically desired by its human

It shouldn't be draining the battery at a speed absurd and quick

#TechGripe in the form of #ShitpostPoetry

It would really butter my biscuits if one of the billions of reboot-requiring updates Ubuntu is constantly pushing to LTS could fix the 'KDE regularly crashes, ruining my hard-built session' bug.

This is a #TechGripe . There's nothing meaningful in any log to explain why this is happening. It is functionally impossible to troubleshoot but this didn't start happening until I updated to the 2024 LTS version.

Love getting advertisements in an app I’m already paying for … for features included in my subscription … features that I have used in the past.

And don’t use now because they’re not useful to me right now.

Why don’t you compile a version of Excel, and OneDrive for Linux? That would be far more useful to me than a crappy mobile app.

⚠️ This is a tech gripe. Not a request to receive an invitation to the Holy Church of Crappy Excel Alternatives nor a request for admonitions not to pay subscription fees to Microsoft. I reserve to have fun at your expense if you Reply Guy me. ⚠️

I'm in that delicate moment where I told my computer to do something and it has ignored me. If I try again, I might get two of the thing. If I do anything else, I will forget what I was doing entirely.

Whoa there!

You have exceeded a secondary rate limit.

Please wait a few minutes before you try again;
in some cases this may take up to an hour.

I have a) gone to a page and b) have attempted a single, simple search. I did both of those at normal, human speeds using normal, human methods.

What the hell, github.com.

The #Microsoft #Edge people really don't want you to turn off the "news" they display you when you open it or a new tab. I put up with it for a while but they put too much low-quality click bait and I had enough.

This is a #TechGripe, not a request for troubleshooting assistance. I already figured out how to turn it off on my own. The issue is the behavior of a large tech company.

No, you can't update. I just closed you yesterday to update and it was extremely annoying to deal with the consequences five minutes ago when I opened you again.
