  • I HATE email

    Jump

  • For me the worst was the slideshow fad... So many people were making some and constantly sending them to ALL their contacts and forwarding those of other people making them and you kept receiving some of people who knew someone who knew someone you knew because of the forwarding... Since the last step came from people you knew, you couldn't just block them, and if you didn't answer every once in a while it was terribly rude... Also those butt ugly sparkling greeting cards 😬

    Now spam is so common that it's a perfect excuse, I just warn people that I don't read email so don't bother sending them 😂

    But I agree on principle, the annoyances used to come from people who were over-enthusiastic over new technology like email, photo editing and such, and wanted to share it with everyone (willing or no). Or people who were having fun with chain emails (I might possibly have started a few on my school local network so I do understand... but to be fair no one used that network and its email system for anything else but email chains 😂 ). Now it's all automated slop.

  • Of course not it's a cylinder, it has some curve and that's why people are fooled into believing it's a sphere

  • Fool, it's not "your" computer, it's Microsoft's. You shall use it the way they deem best for you.

  • I don't even know what to say. How can you make jokes when reality already is making them for you? Have we finally entered The Onion Timeline?

  • “I just want to use rsync and inotify to automatically sync my data to my NAS so I never again have to forget backing up before doing something stupid. I hate coding and I’m terrible at it but it’ll be fine! It’s 2 commands, HOW HARD COULD IT BE? I’m sure 10 lines of bash can do it.”

    Aaaaaand there went my whole weekend 💀 💀 💀

    AGAIN

    Why do I keep doing this to myself? 😭

    (But it works! Kinda. Well it’s a matter of perspective, who can say what objectively defines the concept of “working”? It does SOMETHING. So technically it does works. CQFD)

  • Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated article summaries to Wikipedia

    Jump

  • I don't think the idea itself is awful, but everyone is so fed up with AI bullshit that any attempt to integrate even an iota of it will be received very poorly, so I'm not sure it's worth it.

  • That because since Brexit the economy crumbled and wages in the UK are now paid in turnips, which is why you do need to measure by weight

  • I have a dozen email accounts, that way all the emails I don't read (which is ALL OF THEM) are neatly separated in different inboxes.

  • What the hell is BONTO! I don't remember making an account on BONTO! Why do I have a BONTO! account is someone impersonating me WAS MY EMAIL HACKED??? Oh wait it's just a rebrand of that one website that forced me to create an account 10 years ago.

  • I HATE email

  • Actually no, I don't remember when email was ever useful and I do remember dial-up internet 😂

    It used to be chain emails "Send this to 10 other people or YOU'LL DIE" and people forwarding other people's bad picture slideshows and even worse uplifting inspiring cards without looking at them, and now it's automated slop.

    • Someone has sent you a private messages on BONTO! But we won't tell you what it says or you won't go to the website.

  • None of these

  • It's named after the python language, obviously. Nothing beats recursive referencing.

  • I'm the other kind of ADHD : "A package? Thanks for the kind gift past me, I wonder what you got me because I have completely forgotten about it!" Then "Ooooh it's the thing I couldn't live without then I forgot all about it! Cool!"
