Or people whose phone screen shows every app with 3 digit notification numbers. That'd make me go crazy.
Or apps that you can't get rid of the red numbers without paying money.

It's easy to get rid of these.
Just uninstall the app

Also we're out of DST now.
We are? I use my phone as my primary time-keeping device, and it adjusts automatically, so I didn't even notice. I guess I'm an hour less sleep deprived than I thought I was.
Edit: Nope. According to timeanddate.com, it changes next Sunday.

I considered a snarky Brexit reply, but to come up with one that is both funny and ically correct, so I'll just go with the honest, with a few exceptions, I can't keep track of who lives where.
-
@HardwareGeek well the EU did vote to abolish DST, while some of the Brit government suggested staying an hour later to save on energy bills so I expect we’ll change it eventually, but no doubt make sure we don’t align with the EU choices because we couldn’t be rule takers.

Yeah, all my clocks and watches go forward automatically except for the cat feeder and my sister’s analogue clock in living room. I don't notice the one in the living room but the cat feeder frightened me twice today when it went off an hour early.

You need a "smart" cat feeder that is connected to the Internet.

Status: you know how some people practice Inbox Zero?
I've deleted a few emails from my inbox and it's now at fewer than 4000 unread emails.
I might have skipped reading one or three hundred LinkedIn emails...
Hey guy, did you know Atlassian is going to remove Mercurial support from BitBucket?

Still deleting messages. I'm filtering for LinkedIn messages now to speed things up. I'm still skimming through the subjects and deleting only the obvious ones. I'm not deleting them willy-nilly because there are some false positives.
I've gone back as far as 2012. My inbox is now down to 2993 unread.
I'm still deleting a lot of LinkedIn messages, but the unread count isn't going down because apparently 10 years ago I still bothered reading LinkedIn messages.
-
My (personal) inbox is 5700+ at the moment but it doesn't include the LinkedIn spam because I already added a filter to move that into a side folder years ago, along with the Facebook and Twitter notifications I don't read.
I should probably clean it up as it includes various notifications I don't want and just ignore at this point, like 'confirming you have ordered Deliveroo', 'your Deliveroo is here' (yes, each transaction generates 2 emails; other services generate up to 6 emails for a single order + delivery transaction, which for delivering hot food to my house seems a bit much)

Alas, this does not work. Labeled stuff is showing too.

@Arantor said in The Official Status Thread:

That's what is still on the server, going back about 2.5 years, not counting email that's been filtered into folders. That also doesn't count 10+ years of inadvertently deleted email that I managed to recover into a local folder on my other computer.
-
Thank you for making me feel better about myself.

Pruned some of inbox last night, 4553 emails currently unread, plus 2900 from Humble Bundle, a similar amount from Patreon, 3430 from Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn, 1300 from Kickstarter, and a few hundred scattered across other folders.
But since the rest aren’t in my inbox they don’t count

If they did observe it, they'd push it off the table.

Status: graduated from "not having been bitten by

before" to "having been bitten bySqlCommand.AddWithValue()
".A query taking a single string / VARCHAR(3) parameter went from consistently timing out after 30 seconds to consistently returning under one second even for results sets one order of magnitude higher.
I can only image what kind of silly type (or more likely, size) the command was implicitly choosing for the parameter that made SqlServer not use the table's index.

Same thing for dogs. My old dog starts whining pretty consistently at 6a. Not looking forward to next Monday...

Status: The fuck is "Unpaid PTO"?

@Tsaukpaetra That depends on what the P in PTO stands for. If P is for "paid", it's obviously nonsense. But I've worked places where the abbreviation was for Planned Time Off, in which case it could well be unpaid.

Just looked at a bunch of posts just after that (mine included) and they're all downvoted. Someone must be running an auto-downvote script.

If your MacBook accesses Intune managed resources, you may want to delay a bit. As of late last week, company policies that restrict resource access to specific OSes (e.g. Windows/Mac) weren't recognizing Ventura machines as a Mac.

This is a personal machine (we use Ubuntu at work), so thankfully Intune is nowhere near my machine!

My personal Macbook is now officially too old, and my work Macbook is still on Big Sur for some reason I've forgotten that mattered when Monterey came out but probably doesn't now.
Maybe I should skip to Ventura and see what breaks.
