Calendar invites have an “accept”, “decline”, and “maybe” response option, but they’re missing the critical “ignore forever”.

I'm a 36-key miryoku layout stan and I proselytize to anyone that will listen

Did every chat application suddenly decide that collapsible sidebar drawers weren't a thing anymore? Element (Matrix), Slack, etc. now have these gigantic sidebars (sometimes two!) that just take up a ton of visual space 🫠

I'm not saying I'm a stereotypical Québecois, but I did just devour a bag of cheese curds with some spruce beer, so take from that what you will.

Customer support requests really do be like:

"Hi, I clicked through 3 different alerts and warnings letting me know that the thing I was about to do was going to be irreversible. I didn't read any of that and clicked the button. I can't believe you don't have an undo function!"

I don't recommend getting your passport renewal in a postal strike delivery limbo. Each org tells me that it's the other org's problem, and the conclusion is that my passport is likely not going to arrive before I need it.

My all-time favourite bug: some of our users would create events on their phone, but couldn't find them afterwards.

Those users (in SE Asia) had their phones set to use the Buddhist calendar; we were using the "local" calendar API in iOS. Events were created just fine, but 543 years in the future!
