Apple mouse touch sensitivity is way too high, forever scrolling rapidly in and out of trading view charts when trying to do technical analysis...
- You are going to get lynched by the rabid fanboys here for speaking blasphemy about Apple.utopian

People who insist on video-calling everything now.
Client emailing all morning insisting we have a 3-way teams call so that she can screen-share a jpeg she could have attached just to the first email.
- for years i'm asking this questine. why on earth do we need to meet or talk live, even on the phone? send me a fucking mail and that's it :)renderedred
- Exactly. And I'm not in an office. I'm in my home. On a Monday morning. I don't want you in it. Why are you insisting on invading my space?Fax_Benson
- What can you add, verbally, visually, to my looking at a jpeg? And why have you invited a 3rd person to watch me look at it?Fax_Benson
- Why can't everyone just fuck off?Fax_Benson
- i think a lot of people need in person verification and confirmation for some reason, it's like a psychological thing mayberenderedred
- it's often quicker to call and talk and read sentiment with clients vs email.shapesalad
- ha, this has replaced the old classic, sending a long email and then calling you 5 minutes after if you have read it.fadein11
- I got asked on Friday if I could make some amends to a website live on Zoom (Teams or whatever) rather than the client emailing them across, lol.fadein11
- I ignored the email, waiting for the inevitable follow up today.fadein11
- re: "It's often quicker blah blah..." - for the person making contact, perhaps. For the recipient, more than likely not. = Arrogant assumption in relationship.Nairn
- Clients, as we know, have very limited knowledge and vocabulary when discussing design matters. Usually it helps to have a talk instead of endless emails.jagara
- Tell them you're not free, book out your calendar and have unavailable times for calls. that'll sort the cunts.pedromendez
- I'll take a 5 minute zoom call over 12 emails any day.TOMMYxGUNN
- There're definite time and places calls over multiple emails, but I find I'm generally best positioned to work out when that is.Nairn
- I suppose the inverse are the slightly On The Spectrum types who simply refuse to speak when a 2 minute call would clarify everything quickly.Nairn
- My clients send me whatsapp messages nowadays. This is weird, too.SimonFFM
- Oh God, don't get me started on clients using WhatsApp - I only have the fucking thing installed to talk with my partner and a best pal.Nairn
- im with TOMMYxGUNN. Ive had emails dredge on getting nowhere for a week with questions or misunderstandings. 5 minute zoom call and it was done.mantrakid

...Not sure, me? Technology? The Universe? I'll go 'me':
If you ever find yourself facing a USB device installation problem on Windows 10 that has no logic, because it works on another Windows 10 machine - check the fucking cables you're using.
I've just upgraded my machine-controlling PC to Windows 10 and despite checking on a Win10 laptop that it wouldn't cause any major problems, when it came to formatting and starting the desktop over, It Just Didn't Fucking Work.
Two+ hours on Friday and an hour and a half this morning, and I've finally traced the problem - my desktop is further away and uses a cable extension. For some reason, Windows10 didn't like that (despite having used it on Windows 7 for five+ years now).
Always start at first principles, kids - the answer was staring me right in the face all the time.
- Nairn0
Oh, and punches for Windows 10.
First thing I did was run O&O Shutup10 to turn off as much telemetry etc as I can. Over two updates, Win10 had rolled back every single thing I'd turned off.
- neh you just don't know how to set it into stealth mode.sted
- Gotta say - I actually like W10. Strip out all the telemetry shit and useless animations and effects and it's actually a nice, clean and unfussy interface.Nairn
- Well, apart from the horrendofuck seperation of modern back-end front-end interface and new one. ffs, what a mess back there.Nairn

- Megan was on television for many years. Why would an Oprah interview be ultimate? Weird.monospaced
- you know that 'hollywood' is used for both city and entertainment industry? and yes they are living in LAhotroddy
- you're delusional if you think they'll be living in CANADA.hotroddy
- First off, living in Hollywood does not mean they're in the industry, you'd be delusional to think that. Also, since when are they living in Hollywood?monospaced
- And yes, having lived in Hollywood myself, I know quite a lot about it and the "industry" you refer to. And it's not an employer with employees.monospaced

Large companies that have long invoice terms and still manage to pay you late.

Clients, please: Stop. Contacting. Me. On. WhatsApp.
I fucking hate whatsapp. i only have the fucking thing for my partner and one friend.
.
I think I've probably posted this before.
- Whatsapp is for lovers. And for well-paying clients.NBQ00
- i agree. Not a professional platform.StoicLevels
- I coulda sworn there was an option before to hide from contact I don't want, but nup.Nairn
- ^ Can signal do that?GuyFawkes
- Probably, and I'd flip in an instant, but partner's entire extended social group is all on WA, so therefore so is she.Nairn
- that's how they get youhans_glib
- I kind of moved all my private chats to signal...took around 1-2 weeks, recreating group chats with same icon and name. I was surprised, the plan worked.uan
- I had some assistance from fellow nerds, but after 2 weeks even the hardcore 'I will never change' ppl started installing signal and popping up in signal.uan
- moved whatsup to 2nd screen on phone and disabled access to contacts and muted notifications...I check it once a week maybe nowadays.uan

Engine idlers.
Fuckers who just sit in their cars with the engine running while they're waiting for someone/thing, pumping out unnecessary fumes for other people to breathe.
Don't know if I'm just noticing it more but diesel fumes form certain cars genuinely make me feel sick. People do it in the supermarket carpark, outside schools (illegal), obliviously, gormlessly prodding at their phones. If you really want to do it, do it in your garage with the door down.
- Oh God yeah. It's fucking illegal for a reason, shitheads.Nairn
- Yep. Live across the street from a schoollemmy_k
- Let's go a step further and punch those who drive classic cars.

All the fucking cunts who enjoy the nice weather in the parks and nature and litter. I fucking hate assholes who do BBQ outside or drinking parties with their friends and leave all their trash and bottles laying around instead of putting them in the garbage bins.
The town I live in even put up trash containers for when the regular trash bins are full and yet all these dumb idiots are too lazy and stupid to keep it clean. The city usually cleans up everything in the morning but it’s just nasty to trash the parks so much and everything stays overnight for birds and animals to poison themselves or injure. On top of it all the wind can blow it onto the lake.
This is the first time I see people being so careless and ignorant and causing so much garbage. It’s as if the lockdown has made them dumber than they already were. Why can’t people be like the Japanese who so carefully clean up everything after themselves.
Fucking cunts.
- My son and I drove 2hrs to fish only to find the place tagged and full of trash.lemmy_k
- Litterers and taggers of people's property should be kneecapped.Nairn
- There are virtually no trash cans in Japan, they carry their trash in their pockets (which has a symbolic meaning in their lives)
Fuck Japandrgs - I have a designated trash pocket (burning man habit) but i always seem to launder it instead of throwing it away laterscarabin
- ^LOL
Glad I'm not the only one with clean trash!lemmy_k - litter is some seriously low life shit, because there is literally no good reason to do it, ever. Littering is actively making the world worse for everyone nearmonospaced
- The neighborhood and village where I live is spotless. A mile away, outside the village bounds, and there's literally trash eveywhere. And poor people.monospaced
- People just drop trash everywhere there. Everywhere. If someone did that on my block, peopel would start shit.monospaced
- The solution is social pressure. Instagram influencer hot chicks should say they don’t like guys that trash. And visa versa.shapesalad
- When I go hiking I bring an empty back pack and enough waters.AQUTE
- The last time I hiked I filled up my backpack with all the trash found 2 more plastic bags full of all kinds of trash. I was a good feeling to clean upAQUTE

My neighbour who came over, got really drunk, groped my wife and then took several swings at me after I helped him get home and into bed. Had to knock him down in front of his wife and it looks like they'll probably get a divorce. He's big motherfucker so it was pretty harrowing.
