I suppose that means it's a good thing we have a Space Force, hm?

...so many people mocked it without looking more closely at existing military space organisation.

@mattly @halva

exactly so!

@mattly @halva

I do too
but not everyone else does

and yeah, who is going to maintain a lab with old, slow stuff?

but that doesn't mean it's not a problem

@mattly @halva

now we get into the release engineer part of the opinion. everyone seems to think that releasing apps & adding junk to them & unnecessary features & wrapping an entire damned browser in every last one is the bomb diggity but y'know what there is nobody on this planet wants their phone updating every other day with a binary that eats the entirety of the low bandwidth connection they share with their family

it's the same idea: devs have amazing fast connections & hardware

@mattly @halva

so, I'm a release engineer, not a developer. I have my own opinions along these lines.

but on this particular topic, I'll note that it's the user interface limitations that are topical in the OP and you want the frontend devs becuase PMs & CEOs are not going to be empathetic enough to wrap their heads around of a 10yr old's needs in the UI.

and if you interpret the OP to mean the NOTEBOOK is 10yrs old, the PMs & CEOs will say it's great to drive purchase of replacement device.

@mattly oh I saw you posting about that. Ugh, but DMCA? did you copyright all your photos?

@mattly @__Styx__

I read the verge article and to me it was a bit inverted. not everyone does that and generally the people who follow all those steps are linked at the bottom of everything else as clickbait. so it's not really all that perfect a web page. it did make me think that's how so many clickbait sites have wended their way into google news.

that reminds me it does tie in with a rule I have: never to click on anything with "this" in the page/article title.

@mattly I can literally get the email for resetting the password, click on the link in the email, and be told that email address that was just mailed is unknown to the system. for (I hope) obvious reasons I am not posting a screenshot/video grab of it.

separately, mychart/epic is a nightmare of inconsistency from separate providers. perhaps add to your bingo: separate paths to login to account with different levels of security/2FA

anyhow it's all an excellent reminder why we have: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@mattly oh oh the other one, this is a more complex sequence

1. try to log in from a link in a legit email
2. fail. tell it to send you password reset email
3. "invalid email address" / "no such email address in our records"
4. "too many log attempts you are locked out"
5. 🤔 lock out the "unknown" email address, hm?

I am perma-stuck in that situation with a couple online accounts. one is a bank, and I had a VC meeting with the bank rep, and it still could not be fixed.

@mattly it hit me a couple months ago and I could NOT understand why I was only able to log in from my laptop... when I finally figured it out I was having a great despair

@mattly a friend linked this to me, this afternoon, saying "desktop, not mobile", and I looked at that the same time as I read your post and did a double-take

scroll slowly, lest you vomit

@mattly

antipatterns:
a) common and I know you hate it too: do not allow paste into the password box
b) less common but extremely enraging: do not allow 2FA pin to be entered from the num pad on an extended keyboard
c) convenience isn't worth it: ditch the "remember me on this computer"
d) epic's two-way connecting of two myhealth systems, one of which requires 2FA and one which doesn't offer it.

counterbalance with a good pattern: ask for the 2FA before prompting for the password

@mattly last summer I was going through an internally produced training for work, and each session involved a 25-30 min podcast. I suppose it would have been ok to listen to it and go back, read the transcript later; but for some reason it had to be foregrounded on laptop and in the focus. (It = window w/audio + transcript)

I'm not ADHD but I sure read faster than a podcaster talks, and I couldn't help but consider how would people for whom this format sucks relate to and absorb this material.

@thomasfuchs don't fall for it, the end goal is targeting birthright citizenship

Why do people want newsletters?

The volume of email solicitations is so overwhelming. Why would someone add to it by paying to add must-read email to their inbox?

I get having valuable content behind a paywall, I don't like it but I get it. But emailed newsletters?

@thomasfuchs I hate it when the cat eats the Ethernet cables

@mattly every vote counts

@tchambers
my concern is I am not sure instance moderators on Fedi yet have the moderation tools so desparately needed for this volume

@fediversenews

@thomasfuchs i bought e.gerber Mylites 2 for the bags, they are more crinkly but archival quality. I got e.gerber half-backs for the magazine boards.

The boards I was using were starting to yellow and I figured flipping thru comics collector forums was the best source of what's best.

I don't know about BYTE magazine size but the first several years of OMNI required I trim the boards to 8.5" x 11.25". I didn't mind, Omni is amazing and shines such a bright light on tech industry POV nowdays.

@Wolven I just finished moving my complete collection of Omni Magazines into new bags & boards

What you are saying is so, so, obvious when looking over their content and ads as a set.
