Our IBM sales reps seem to have moved from Lotus Notes to IBM Verse. Poor bastards.

I now get elasticsearch ads on facebook. *sigh*

Here it is, folks, my latest candidate for Worst Sentence In a Marketing Or Apology Email, 2018:

I have to submit a claim with my jewelry insurance company and, woo is this a bad website. Every checkbox is somehow off-by-one (so clicking on the topmost checkbox selects the second one and so on) on both Chrome and Safari; it just outright doesn't work on mobile Safari.

I'm trapped in an endless maze of sunrpcs, all alike

@JPEG notifications seem to have gone away again

@ashfurrow Is something weird with DMs here? I just sent a DM, in reply to another DM, which shows up in my Notifications pane, but my DMs pane is empty and I get "Oops! An unexpected error occurred!" every time I open it.

@shella do you know where jeremy went? he seems to have fallen off mastodon

it's always the goddamn gap locks that get you

"ACTOR_IDENTIFIER^]~ was presented with login verification"

Why is #Gsuite so bad? Everyone pays tons of money for it, and most of the infrastructure is shared with other Google services (so it should be fairly cheap to operate), but Gsuite (especially the Admin panel) is a neverending sequence of dumb bugs and bad UX.
