I shouldn't have to deal with this shit.
There are two clocks in my house which don't update the time automatically. They're an hour out during BST.

Yes, I have two of those, one on the microwave, one on the oven.
All of the other clocks I own automatically update otherwise.

Everybody should just get rid of DST, like (most of) Arizona and Hawaii have done.

I think the Scots would complain if we did which is why we can't.
Shit. I just found a case for actually encouraging Scottish independence. #firstworldproblems RIGHT THERE

I generally do it the other way since (here at least) DST is a larger fraction of the year.
I just about had to slap my father's hands away when he tried to "fix" the time in my car once. He couldn't stand that it was an hour ahead. He finally relented when I pointed out that we were heading east and would be changing time zones (so the actual local time would match what was displayed) within a few hours, and by the time we headed back home it would be DST again (and thus match "home" time).
-
I'd forgotten about the clocks going back.
So had I.
Sweet. The clock on the stove will be right again! :)

Right. Except where your aren't (the Navajo reservation in Arizona;For those that haven't seen it yet:

Wherever your body resides, that particular problem is strictly first world. Welcome, fellow 1%er!

2nd 1st world problem:
"The emoticons in my favorite forum's SW are weird."What I kinda-sorta was looking for (but not really):
"tired_face"What I found along the way:
"articulated_lorry"
"neckbeard" :neckbeard:

Emoji Unicode characters are racist! Not all of us are B&W or bright yellow!
Fortunately there is already a proposed solution.
I hope at some point they consider different eye colors too. 👀
And hair colors. And body mass indices. And heights.Edit: and right after posting this is when I discover this thread.

What is this crud inside my coffee mug?
Ah, yesterday I had my oatmeal in there, and then added coffee later. Guess I must not have finished my coffee...
Mm, not bad.

Why in God's name does windows snipping tool default the file extension to all caps? Saving a file name with the extension .PNG is literally the worst thing in the world.

GtkFileChooseDialog by default opens with "Recently Used" selected.
It wouldn't be a problem if it didn't hide the address bar.I have to click somewhere to get the address bar back...
...and then click in the address bar to get the focus in there...
...only then can I paste the path I had in the clipboard.
All I wanted to do was Ctrl+O, Ctrl+V, Enter.
Also, Gimp doesn't let me drag-to-open files to the tab bar or the images panel. :shakesfist:
I've just discovered I can drop them over the mascot's face, so I guess there's that.As a bonus, there is no visual difference between "selected and focussed" and "selected but blurred", but that may be the system theme's fault.
-
Why does your GIMP look so different to mine? Is it a new version?
Here's my much uglier one with three separate windows:
-
Gimp 2.8.10. Single-window mode is available since 2.8, I believe.
-
Would you like me to have your babies now?

I have a somewhat similar issue when saving files.
When selecting a destination folder with the mouse, focus moves on the file/folder list. This is fine, but at least on the theme I’m using, there is not much difference between a focused and an unfocused text field:(animated GIF below, click on it)
So half of the time, I don’t realize the text field is not focused anymore, and I start typing the name:
D’OH!

Writing a good dialog is hard, or at least it is quite a lot harder than writing a bad one. Laying the thing out is fairly simple, but making it react correctly to the myriad ways in which a user might want to do things with it… that's the hard part.
-
Google Accounts. Literally the worst thing in the world.
I needed to sign into my personal Google account at work for something, so I made sure to do it in another browser window with Private Browsing enabled. Today, I open up one of our apps we use for work which uses Google Accounts for authentication, and it's signed out of my work account and into my personal account!

Playing Far Cry 4 on PC. Using a game pad. Sometimes I accidentally brush the mouse which switches all the UI interface reminders and hints to mouse + keyboard icons... until I press something on the game pad to switch it back to Xbox icons.
A minuscule inconvenience, easily and instantly remedied, only comes about because the developers made controller input switching instant and seamless, only occurs when I'm playing an awesome game on my gaming PC and big screen TV... and it still bothers me.
Can't get much more first world problem-y than that :)
-
Not to derail the thread but how are you finding it, worth the money? (And is it better with a game-pad than mouse/keyboard?).
-
I love it. Not sure if you played Far Cry 3 but it's basically that game, in a beautiful new setting, with more content. More animals to hunt (rhinos and elephants!), more weapons and mods, more sidequests and stuff to do, more unlocks, skills, vehicles, sidequests etc. I could see someone being disappointed that it's similar to Far Cry 3 in most ways, but I adore that game too so... perfect for me
My favorite addition is the new Hunter enemy. You can't tag him, he moves stealthily, can climb and use ziplines, isn't easily led astray by thrown rocks, uses silent bow and arrow attacks, can start fires, and set predator animals on you. It's pretty much like fighting another human player, he uses every strategy and system in the game against you. Very challenging and rewarding to fight.
I play absolutely everything I can with gamepad so I'm the wrong man to ask. I had no issues so far though, and have been able to snipe birds in flight for instance, with no problems.

Change the theme?

The best thing about Far Cry 3 was the Blood Dragon “expansion”. It was absolutely barking, a glorious homage to '80s tough guy action movies, and one of the absolutely best games of 2013.

Went out to my car today, and didn't hit the unlock button on my key fob right, so the door didn't unlock, and I had to actually use the key in the door like an animal.
-
My Amazon order that I placed last night isn't arriving today.
-
Unlock button? You are a barbarian. I just wave my hand in the vague direction of the door handle.

Are you the kind of idiot who'd put an RFID in his hand, or are you not mentioning the key fob because you're blakeyrat? If the latter, imagine forgetting the fob, or the fob's battery wearing out.

Yeah that was amazing. Truly epic dialogue.Wounded ally - "Tell my wife and kids I died for my country..."
