I mean I consider all the big tech companies evil, but somehow meta consistently manages to raise the bar in that discipline. I don't understand how any dev left at that company doesn't feel like a spineless POS. And I don't say that for trolling or pure provocation. I seriously don't understand how you can ignore all the shit they pull and just go "but the technical challenges are really interesting". I really want to know.

Yeah this, although it seems to have slowed down I development. Last time I checked, scrolling was really laggy on Linux, and the according bug report was quite old. Man I wish I had more free time to dig into stuff like that.

Huh I'm also on i3 but I never run into this problem. If any program would start stealing focus I'd just uninstall it and yell at the author/vendor.

Haven't used windows in a decade, but there is (was?) a registry setting that would disable focus stealing prevention. Some egregious tools "helpfully" changed that setting for you when you installed them, because they couldn't get focus management to work properly. Maybe it's that?

Appliances that only have touch controls and make beeping sounds for every button pre^Wtouch. UX design has truly peaked. >:(

Yep, on the rare occasion I deal with someone who uses Microsoft for email, I give them a heads-up that they probably miss an email every now and then. I remember my last employer's mails often didn't reach them, and at some point they added a big warning to their sign up page when you used one of the Microsoft domains for your email.

What terminal are you using that doesn't support a mouse? Or is it emacs that doesn't have mouse support?

Made that experience once ca. 2011. I hosted a Minecraft server ona box with raid1.

The "cool" part was that I ran a cronjob that rendered the map to a png file once and hour, and at some point a friend asked why there were holes in the map. Back then, Minecraft stored every 16x16 chunk of the map in an individual gzipped file. When the raid1 decided to read the chunk from the bad drive, it couldn't unzip it. If that happened to the renderer, there was a hole on the map. If that happened to the game server, it would regenerate the chunk, and overwrite the old one on both drives, even the healthy one. Luckily as far a I remember that only happened on random terrain, otherwise someone would have ended up with half their house missing.

Yes, happens occasionally. I just wiggle it left/right or up/down so I can see where it is. No big deal. But put of curiosity I might still try that one day, with a more subtle effect though. ;)

You can use that app in different ways:

1) you dated a guy on tinder, he became all pushy on your first date, touched you inappropriately even though you said no. Or some guy became violent during your relationship and you even found out he has a history of that.

2) you dated a nice guy but he dumped you for whatever reason, and now you want to get back at him so you make up stuff like mentioned above, and post it there.

Most annoying to me is Google maps. On web it is wasting so much more screen real-estate when showing a route, I can barely see the map itself. The app has much smaller ui components. (android)

Yup, though it's been never such a good run for them by far. Granted things were moving much faster back then overall, but amd has been dominating for 7 years now.

I mean, I get the idea that you want to skip the whole configure step for webcam/mic if it's embedded somewhere, but I still expect cam/mic to be muted on join. Isn't that what most conferencing tools do, no matter whether you get a config dialog after clicking the join link...
