That's the thing that bugs me about Apple products anymore. Having a tower the size of a mid-size ATX, with ports you can plug peripherals into, inside the case? Oh, that's so hard and unsightly. Here, hook up external peripherals to this hub instead.

I suppose it's too much to hope for, for RSS feeds to make a comeback. Or JSON feeds being more prevalent. I'm totally serious, I miss being able to just check the headlines without going through a bunch of bullshit.
The West Indies? The home of Kamala Harris's Dad? How can she be black if both parents are Indian? /s
At this point I'm more or less done with Reddit. My latest ban was because I posted a screenshot of an ad with a wacky old person comment to r/oldpeoplefacebook. I carefully smudged out the person's name and profile pic...and got a three-day site-wide ban for sharing personal information. I protested, they said, nope, you shared personal information. All I can figure is they decided the advertiser's name is personal info, which would make it even more bizarre because I'd say about half the posts have group or advertiser names unedited.
People they let mod, can end up getting this really bizarre God complex not dissimilar to what you see in university settings, their word goes, questioning their word is a sin and they'll just double down.
The Twitter bots started in on that shit before the damn rain stopped and haven't stopped since. At this point Twitter's living in a goddamn fantasy world. "Where's Biden? He hasn't done ANYTHING!" Meanwhile he issued several emergency declarations? "Where's Kamala in all this? This is her problem!" ...is it? What's with Twitter bots acting like Kamala Harris is already the President?
I remember when the GNOME file manager was this kind of interesting hybrid that used MC for the backend. The one thing I liked about it was that it could be docked in Window Maker. Yep I was using a Dock in GNOME waaaaaaaaaaaaaay before most GNOME users.
Nowadays it's still possible to replicate my old Window Maker desktop in XFCE.
I'm gonna laugh my ass off if someone finds out there was some obscure Emacs fork or clone designed to run Clojure or something, and it's named Again
I gave up on it because I've tried logging in via Jeroba, Connect, and Voyager on my phone, and no bueno. I don't mind putting in some effort but eventually I give up.
That's what bugs me about modern phone design, though. They could put Otterbox-type protection right on the phone and that'd be fine for most people. Personally have an S23 and I think it's unnecessarily ugly, thin, and easy to drop, when it's not in a case.
"Starter home", I'm not sure how much more disdain I could have for that title. I bought a home in 2003 that would probably be called that now. It was a typical size for when it was built in 1982 but of course homes must be bigger now. My wife has a friend who has a home that's nearly double the size yet she's jealous of all the storage space we have. There's this trend of building homes with huge main spaces and I don't understand why.
I understand if people end up having to move for work of course, and if the home they're in is literally too small for their family, I just don't understand moving just because a bigger house is available.
Yeah, I simultaneously don't blame them, and suspect a high amount of their traffic comes from NSFW forums. Allegedly Spez was a /r/Jailbait mod and if so, eww, he should have known better.
I wouldn't blame them for trying to find a way to monetize the NSFW content, because it's become a dumping ground for Onlyfans promotion.

Cue the "but sometimes it really is a joke" crowd hasn't hit. Look, man, if the target doesn't laugh, it's not the target's fault, you read the room wrong.
