Mildly Infuriating

The Telepathy Tapes (hosted by Ky Dickens) makes the false claim that, among others claims, nonverbal autistic children have telepathic abilities and that is revealed through a method called "spelling to communicate." "Spelling to communicate" is a rebrand of the now discredited therapy method known as Facilitated Communication.

Not so fast though! You need to accept the terms of service first.

Why would you call something "plant based" when it uses a lot of plastic which after short time degrades and exposes it to the environment?

Reddit, YouTube, facebook and all of the other social media websites track the urls I copied. Whenever you copy a link, check out, it is not the actual url and/or it contains a track id in the url. I can't share anything with the people any more, and click their links, because I hate being tracked.

The recipe for "fresh baked bread" that the wrapper claims to be baked "every day - Homemade Style". Apparently, an incredibly clever AI model has come up with something truly special and delicious here - but I still really hope the kebab shop doesn’t start baking its flatbread that way - even if "it will bring more chewi":

"I clove garlic, crushed
I quantity tunc btini mixture, Kcupf (75g) whole -egg miyoBiuiK
1 tablespoon (om Jto paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire uuce

8 rashers bacon, rind removed
12 discs white bread, touted
bunec for spreading
2 vine-ripened tomato's, sliced

Top shows ping round trip time averaging 10.3 seconds, peaking at 21 seconds. Perhaps that would be good for pingfs.
Below, 59.5% packet loss can be seen with ping.

Last 2 screenshots is from apt update, which made me realize how much time I was wasting. 18.7MB downloaded in 9 minutes and 26 seconds, and 78.3MB took 31 minutes, 34 seconds.

But hey, I could still download a 3.5" floppy worth of data in just around 40 seconds.

Not deprioritized, not throttled. Just a carrier with barely any RF spectrum (in 4G, my phone doesn't do 5G) offering 300GB data pack and getting overloaded to death in some areas. (Every day)

I even paid extra to get the longer ones.

1. try to copy email from Facebook app to add to email header of email I am writing, but Facebook app refuses to just let me copy the email and instead insists on opening IOS Mail app with new draft

2. try to copy email address from opened new draft, but for some reason, email addresses in the “to” field won’t let you select them for anything other than deletion

3. try to type in weird email address letter by letter, switching back and forth between Facebook app and iOS Mail app, but instead for some reason when you switch to another app, it “sets” the email so you can’t keep typing it. Gotta do it all in one go

None of these UX decisions make a goddamn lick of sense.

Why does modern UX seem so actively needlessly shit? Microslop is garbage, so my reaction to shit like the right click menu insanity in Windows 11 is more “I’m not angry, just disappointed.” But Apple are supposed to be the “it just werks” sleek UX focused people.

Also, the fact that you can search for the exact subject of an email you sent yesterday, but instead of that, the search function will find shit from 2009. Also the fact that plugging in an iPhone to the aux automagically decides that you need to hear the first song in iTunes (doesn’t even matter if you don’t have any music downloaded/haven’t used any form of Apple to play music since 2009 either - it will happily download just that first song to play on repeat for you!)

I just don’t get it. These are choices being made (maybe not the email thing). Fucking why?

(caught the spelling mistake afterwards ugh)
