They messed up 10 years ago when for some reason it took ages for Firefox to load compared to Chrome, and sadly it never really recovered the user base even though the performance is vastly improved.

Somebody tried selling me a locked phone on eBay despite listing it as unlocked. The seller refused to be helpful so I filed a claim with eBay, waited the 10 days, eBay sided with me, got a refund and shipped the phone back, waited for the refund to process, then spent $100 more to buy the same device from Amazon.

Oh that setting is super easy to change, just go to run, type in regedit, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then just scroll until you find CLSID-73838-abf83-c758d57-87a90ba, set the value to zero and reboot!

If people could just get hired for the jobs that interest them the most instead of somebody always playing gatekeeper then this would be a non-issue. In fact I’m not even sure it’s a current issue for employers, considering the stock market recently hit an all time high.

Be careful with linseed oil as it spontaneously combusts! My friend used it on something and left the rag in the garage, and it literally burnt their house down.

My company blames me when people fill out forms with junk data just to get to what was already a public link, then I have to go in the CRM every morning and delete a dozen “your moms” and “nunyas”.

So now they’re just charging people for what they were already doing anyway.

A lot of malls in Asia have signs that say not to walk on the escalators. So yeah I guess if it breaks you’re SOL if the people in front of you aren’t rule breakers.

If the conditions are still the same that cause people to want to ask for a 4 day work week, then people will keep asking!

In HS trig class I asked the teacher what was the actual logic behind the tan function, and she said “well it’s just programmed into your calculator” and I said I realized that but how did it work, she told me to go ask the AP calc teacher.

The YouTube viewing experience on FF is terrible. I have premium no ads and still manage to break the interface occasionally by clicking a new video or seeking the video playing.

How do these people watch conspiratorial content and miss the fact that pale male European colonialism literally is the conspiracy?

I started learning how to program when I asked myself how I could setup one web page template and include the content instead of copying the menus and logos on every page. Most people will never be observant enough to consider this might be how most big websites function, or how/why they would develop anything. There’s a tall gate that some people just walk right over.

At 5pm somebody once added an email that had an auto responder to a distribution list that was used in a lot of places. As I’m eating my dinner my phone is getting blown up because everything is suddenly getting spammed with delivery failures because the auto responder was getting blocked from blasting everybody on the distribution list. I was like, I’m sorry you’ve fabricated an urgent situation after hours but I’m gonna eat my chicken now.

Shoot and I thought my 30 second SQL queries were a problem

Can someone name and shame yelp for automatically generating pages for business listings that don’t exist like TOP 10 BEST CANTONESE FUSION RESTAURANTS IN HARPERS FERRY.

Isn’t that supposedly the plan?

They come with a name from the shelter and they tell us we’re not allowed to change it (even though they did!) so we always just kept whatever the shelter picked

Your first mistake is setting a minimum expectation for a Meta product. They’ve not promised it will do any of that and they already have you thinking it will based on nothing but rumor.

That’s exactly it and there’s no reason to pretend otherwise. Meta is a financial instrument to turn money into more money. The only reason Meta would engage with any third party is to make their commercial products more attractive to advertisers. Play with Meta and before you know if they’ll be writing all the rules about how you’re allowed to run your instance.
