Nothing makes me want to go on a cursing streak like when the Southwest Airlines web site requires JavaScript, and is setup to make sure it redirects me to a different "you need javascript" page so fast that I can't use the NoScript UI to do the temporary enabling thing.

Just one F-U after another, *that's* the Web.

Healthcare in the USA is a boondoggle. I mean it was bad before there was customer facing technology involved, but how we have the additional fuster cluck of all the web and mobile so-called "user interfaces" and "user experiences" that they come up with. Just a complete train wreck of horrible stuff like, say, out of date SSL certificates. And tracking cookies, invasive analytics, generally evil overkill use of JavaScript. Probably each and every possible sin of the wider computing world, only this time happily married with our personal health data.

Yeah, I wondered, too.

Why are the History and Bookmark UI's of all browsers such blatant train wrecks?

Synaptic sucks.

So right about now (funk soul brother) I am utterly, utterly loathing Google Photos. How can - oh, man, I just shouldn't get started on it. It is pointless. "How can anybody make something so utterly unusable, broken, and horrible?" Well, that's apparently a dumb question to ask, because they already have. Like, it says I uploaded 30 images, but only 13 of them appear, and it doesn't say anything about say deduplication being the cause, and reports only 1 upload failed, and I can see images on my local machine that obviously aren't showing up in the cloud, etc., and of course there's nothing I can do, no UI that can help me address this or even know WTF at all.

There's a lot of things I strongly detest about a lot of user interfaces I see day to day. One thing is when stuff moves around due to loading, or events. Because inevitably they move when I am just about to try to tap/click on them, and then either nothing happens, or something entirely different happens.

(I think Google design seems to be especially rife with this kind of blatant asinine dumb stupid in your face badness, both on the web and on Android. But of course the web mostly sucks that way too - people don't even seem to be able to set the width and height properties on their images so when the load the whole page shuffles around.)

Wow. Every four letter word in the book applies to this one.

as a programmer, I hate english a lot.

like, having to change a body of text between plural and singular is a freaking manual nightmare, fraught with peril.

Technology is a four letter word. (Especially if, like me, you want to morally support / are too cheap to use anything other than Linux at home.) Like the fact that the Brother all-in-one I have apparently can print photos from a usb stick, but cannot print, oh I dunno, freaking PDFs from it?!?!?!?!

It is 2018.

Linux usability is still a freaking joke.

(And, probably, most any *nix/*bsd other than Mac OS X?)

It is sort of interesting to me that the old school companies manage to hold on to their positions probably due to their war chest of money and connections, because their web sites sure as heck make me think they should just die tomorrow. Giant retirement/investment corps that I have my money with, and like maybe I want to do a rollover from and old 401k - like, I want to actually give them more money - and their web site is unhelpful useless clueless hateful crap. Just crap. There's not even a search text entry field at all that I can see, not even one that is just pointing to Google. So I have to... go to Google and search there to find... pages on the financial institution's web site about how to do the rollover?!?!?!!?! Of course the top hit for them turns out to be a page full of hot air that ends up just saying I should call a person, rather than just giving me the 2 or 3 pieces of information I'd need to get a check cut right away. Oh. My. Gawd. The word "support" is not on my account web page, either. Like, shouldn't they have 24/7 online tech support, given how much money they are likely making off of us?
