  • Recently tried MS Office apps for the first time in 8 or so years. Somehow they made them less intuitive than even ribbon days. They use a dark pattern save dialog that makes it easy to accidentally save to OneDrive, and if you have OneDrive disabled or uninstalled, there’s an always present icon in the title bar of the main edit window that says “autosave off” even though autosave is on.

    Went right back to LibreOffice after one document and one spreadsheet.






  • I have a set of uBlock Origin filters I turn on in the “my filters” tab when this garbage gets too exhausting.

  • Doctors are erring on the side of caution to avoid potential lawsuits and even jail time

    I get it’s risky and money is needed to survive, and prison is bad, and all, but it seems a bit hypocritical for doctors to violate their modern day version of the Hippocratic Oath.

    Especially the part where it says:

    I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

    That’s a place where life-saving decisions should always transcend law, and there should be a law (since we can’t go on gentleman’s agreements anymore) that says as much to cut out this partisan horse shit that vacillates and trends downward every year.

    Can’t believe it’s 2024 and our big accomplishment is that America figured out how to politicize the human body, and the uterus in particular.
