I finally looked up what "NB" means. It's "nota bene" from Latin, which means "take note". All these years I've been assuming it meant something like that, now I actually know :P

the "official" Mastodon app doesn't have local timeline? wtf? the web interface is equally official, so... what's being implied about the mobile users specifically compared to the web users...? Not a good sign of the project direction imo

The user experience of Bluetooth on Windows is so abysmal, it makes me wonder if anyone at Microsoft has actually tried using it, or they just assume it works because the business deployments don't complain :P

Bluetooth experience on Android, iPhone, Kubuntu:- Click Bluetooth icon to select paired devices quickly without leaving your current app- Common devices like headphones & controllers will connect automatically when it makes senseExperience on Windows:- Click Bluetooth icon to open a menu with a button that opens another window, with list of Bluetooth devices split it up into weird categories (some connected, some not).- Common devices like headphones & controllers will connect when your laptop is supposedly asleep, causing random pairing/unpairing noises in the middle of the night if you forget to fully shutdown- When you pair a new device, you are presented with 3 mislabelled options and have to guess which one works (click 'speaker' to connect an Xbox controller for example, but not every controller!)

I think Microsoft actually removed the Vista-era volume mixer app in Windows 11. That's good because the Windows XP era software fits into Windows 11 theming better than Vista software (although Vista was my favourite so I'm kinda disappointed).The Volume Mixer functionality is now in a tab of the system settings' sound menu. It took me a while to figure this out, because the Settings is really hard to search. If you type "volume", it gives you some Narrator settings and "delete a volume" (referring to drives). To change volume settings per-app you need to 1) know the feature exists, 2) search "sound", no other words, 3) scroll through a bunch of text with no icons or visual organization until you find some text that links to the sub-section devoted to the volume mixer. This sub-section is called Volume Mixer, so I really can't guess what criteria Microsoft is using for their search results. They must be hard-coded or something to explain how poor they are, because a naive implementation that searched titles blindly would do a better job...

Having a built-in commandline is the sign of a healthy video game that cares about player feedback. (Also The Sims)

Videos games: We added this new feature only available with commands so you can test it earlyThe Sims: Remember to type 'bbmoveobjects true' to disable collision because we don't bother making reasonably sized collision boxes anymore

All error messages should end with a question mark or an exclamation point, because the computer is either confused or angry

Apparently none of my Firefox instances synced a new password from weeks ago, including the one that is currently logged in. WHY does Firefox sometimes do this? 🤦♀️ Why doesn't it automatically sync *every* time I change a password? I need a dedicated password manager, clearly :|

The other day I was on Windows and opened the start menu. It had an app for every streaming service I have ever heard of. And I think Windows might randomly reinstall them in the background in the future, if the rumours are true 🚮

Losing Reddit and Imgur is bad for the spread of free information. Lots of great resources lost to another closed platform 😞💐

I saw an entire JavaScript exception printed on a price tag once (something like "null doesn't have attribute") but unfortunately didn't take a picture :(
