Also, @citibank, if it's gotten to the point where I'm calling you on the phone, we're long past the stage where your voice menu can help me.

Hi @AppleSupport ! In the new MacOS (Monterey?), where am I supposed to grab the Safari window to move it? It looks like the title bar is now completely gone…

@experianhelp_us How the F do I talk to someone! I need to lift a credit freeze, and the website tells me to call a phone number, and that person says they aren't at Experian. I need to talk to someone to figure out what is going on.

Sorry for the aggressive tone. I had just spent 15 minutes trying to navigate your phone tree and gotten nothing and nowhere. I need to lift a credit freeze. The website doesn't work for this, and the phone number it sends me to doesn't connect me with support.
I wonder if part of the problem with macOS development is that all the developers grew up maximizing their windows on Windows or only using iOS, and thus don't understand how to use multiple windows well?

Goddammit I hate systemd.

Does nobody at Apple use more than one window at a time? I regularly have 5-15 windows open at once, and title bars are *very* important.

I really hope those are fireworks I've been hearing...
Slack ad: “what if your email was organized by project - it wouldn’t be email at all”. Have they never heard of folders or filters?
Finally got on a new Orange Line train. Much nicer ride, but can something be done with the door open beeps? A different tone, or less frequent? I understand their accessibility role, but must they be so headache inducing?

In terms of off-brandedness, the fact the Richard Osman's House of Games doesn't let there be a tie is really blowing my mind. It seems like of all the shows, a tie would be celebrated there!
I hate it when I know of a bug, but it's *really* not worth submitting, because you know that nobody is going to care. @MacHomebrew, auto-running cleanup breaks things like groff, but there is no way I can fill out your bug submission form, so I guess never mind.
Alcohol is amazing.

The latest reason why #Drupal8 sucks: trigger removed from core three years ago because rules is better, but rules still isn't ready, so right now, there's no way I can find to send emails on certain actions without writing a custom module.
(And I'm not kidding about the five hours. I don't even bother calling them anymore because neither one has useful support.)
It *really* sucks when @apple and @citibank force me to generate a new virtual credit card every month, because something is going wrong, and apparently neither one can solve the problem even if I spend five hours on the phone with them.
god-effing-dammit I *HATE* *HATE* effing stupid effing god-damned Drupal 8. Every single thing it does is about screwing over regular users.

@NPR your RSS feed for the "Tiny Desk" concert has stopped working properly, and is now showing a bunch of other stuff. Are you retiring this feed permanently (in which case I'll just unsubscribe to it), or is this something that will be fixed?

@NPR I've had to unsubscribe until this is fixed. Please let me know when the RSS feed is working properly again.
Regarding indiestack.com/2019/04/toggl… , here is a #Perl6 version. It's not quite as compact as the Python version, but that seems to be because ctypes/cdll makes a bunch of (potentially dangerous) default assumptions. gist.github.com/remorse/1d29…

Toggle System Grayscale Mode

A colleague recently asked whether it was possible to connect a custom keyboard shortcut to the system-wide "Use grayscale" setting in the macOS Voiceover system preferences:I could not find any easy...
