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

Pretty sure my cab driver set his Waze to use comic sans and now I suddenly don’t feel very safe

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

(the list of people willing to listen is not very long)

screenshot of RBC bank website where a disclaimer is written that "transactions made today or over the weekend may not be included" in the transaction export.

It's completely absurd that downloading transaction data from a bank has to come with this disclaimer in 2025/2026:

Forget Leetcode for interviews, the real test of skill is being able to write a non-trivial vim regex without looking up the syntax

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 🫠

1. Amazing; love this!
2. That Microsoft logotype is _aweosome_

Your PR when you make one giant commit instead of a bunch of small ones as you work

chocolate babka is a fantastic breakfast and I will not be told otherwise

In-progress home renovations always stress me out, especially when it's in the demolition/destruction phase. My brain just can't cope with it.

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.
