Ha, I bet :-)

I thought the strip across the bottom was called a chyron? Not heard it referred to as a bug before (not saying you’re wrong though).

Can the mind vomit?

Yep, and thanks, I should have done that myself. Although setting that up as the default search takes a little more detail.

Not sure if this will help for that specific search but I recently discovered a change that you can make to your browser’s search defaults that makes Google search a lot better (for me at least), stripping away all the AI stuff.

My dad used to use something called Swarfega when he’d been working on anything oily, it was amazing stuff.

Ugh.

Can you tap outside the popup to make it go away? Or maybe swipe it down? Agree that Back should be enough, how annoying!

I guess you could ask the question of someone (line manager most likely) - "Hey I saw that all these appointments are in working hours - does that mean I’m meant to take them during work time? How does it work?” - ie just play innocent and at least get clarity from them on what they understand it to mean.

In writing, ideally!

I’d be shocked if that were the case. Shocked. The man who openly called for vigilante justice against those identified as drug dealers actually turning out to be involved in the drug trade himself, while holding official power to quash competitors?

Shocked.

In wake of but not actually connected to in any way.

These fucking morons marching around burning things, smashing things, stealing things, scaring and injuring people are just that, morons.

Not only would their behaviour be appalling and unacceptable even if the arrested suspect in the 3 murders was a Muslim immigrant, he wasn’t. He was born in Cardiff FFS and his parents are Christians. Exploiting his heinous acts to promote their own hateful ideology is beneath contempt.

This is what happens though when you have years and years of politicians stoking the fires of anti-immigration sentiment. No surprise that these far right fuckwits were chanting Stop the Boats.

Thanks a bunch May, Johnson, Sunak, Braverman, Patel, et al. You seeing now what your methods have led to? We already knew that Farage and Yaxley-Lennon were evil opportunistic cunts, but it’s your adoption of their attitudes and language that sees towns across England and beyond in fear and in flames. I hope you’re fucking proud of yourselves.

Fucking scumbags. Imagine trying to exploit the horrific murder of 3 children for your own twisted political ends.

Fingers crossed you don’t get burned!

Isn’t there a risk that the number you reply to might be a premium rate number, and replying at all might land you a big charge?

I don’t get many of these types of messages, but I always just block them.

Not that unexpected - from the article:

David Lammy, the foreign secretary, told the Commons in May: “Labour’s position is that the ICC chief prosecutor’s decision to apply for arrest warrants is an independent matter for the court and the prosecutor.”

Yeah, that was a particularly egregious one! Triumph? Triumph?!? Ok then…

That’s really interesting, I didn’t realise the problem was that bad. I did the quiz at the bottom, tried to answer honestly and only got 5 out of 14 correct.

The purpose of this community is not to get things fixed, it’s to have a place to complain about things that are mildly irritating. For all you know, OP did raise a ticket. That doesn’t mean they can’t also complain about the issue here.

No, not at all, I’m not sure where you got that idea from.

What I’m talking about is when developers (or anyone else designing a public interface) utilise something which produces unintuitive results - in this case it’s the idea that when a user clicks in a box in the middle of the screen, the next thing that happens is that typed text appears somewhere other than where they clicked.

That’s not a bug, that’s just bad design.

I was sympathising with the OP who encountered this particular example, but also making fun of a general trend for this sort of thing, where companies and designers sometimes seem to think that regardless of what the user did, they should be railroaded into doing what the designer wants them to do.

It’s the wrong approach IMO, and leads to frustrating interactions with software. Or at least mildly irritating ones.
