Jonathan Kamens<p>How can it possibly be that still, now, in the Year Of Our Lord 2025, <a href="https://federate.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macOS</span></a> still requires you to configure an email account in the macOS Mail app before you are able to change your default Mail app to a different one? <a href="https://federate.social/tags/smdh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smdh</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ux</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/fail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fail</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a></p>
Jonathan Kamens<p>After waiting months for Rep. <a href="https://federate.social/tags/AyannaPressley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AyannaPressley</span></a> to send an email update, this is what she finally sent out today.<br>There isn't a single word in this message to her constituents about what Trump, Musk, and DOGE are doing to the federal government. Not a single fucking word.<br>I simply Do. Not. Understand. what the fuck these Democrats think they are doing.<br>This is a five-alarm fire, but our electeds are sipping tea while the country burns.<br>Ref: <a href="https://iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/view_newsletter.aspx?id=100909&amp;c=MA07AP" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet</span><span class="invisible">/view_newsletter.aspx?id=100909&amp;c=MA07AP</span></a><br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/smdh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smdh</span></a></p>
Jonathan Kamens<p>After waiting more than a month for my U.S. Representative, <a href="https://federate.social/tags/AyannaPressley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AyannaPressley</span></a>, to send a message to her constituent email list after I subscribed to it, she finally sends this message today, and it literally does not have a single word in it about what Trump and DOGE are doing or what she is doing about it.<br>What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck is wrong with these people? Why aren't they sounding the alarm as loudly as they can through every possible medium?<br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/smdh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smdh</span></a></p>

Jonathan Kamens<p>This is a first for me: a user of one of my <a href="https://federate.social/tags/Thunderbird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thunderbird</span></a> add-ons asked <a href="https://federate.social/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> to create a new add-on implementing a workaround for a problem they say they are having with my add-on, discovered (surprise surprise!) that the add-on ChatGPT created doesn't do what they want it to do, emailed me the ChatGPT-authored add-on, and asked me to help them debug it.<br>Seriously.<br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/smdh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smdh</span></a></p>
Jonathan Kamens<p>My dad via text in a group chat with my mom and me: I hope all this hype you're generating in the media helps you find a new job!<br>Me: I'm not doing it to help me get a new job, Dad, I'm doing it to prevent fascists from taking over the country.<br>My mom, on a phone call five minutes later: Do you think all these news appearances will help you find a new job?<br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/BigSigh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigSigh</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/smdh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smdh</span></a></p>
Jonathan Kamens<p>I just bought 4 refurbished <a href="https://federate.social/tags/Seagate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Seagate</span></a> drives to upgrade the storage in my NAS for more public service data archiving.<br>(Refurbished OK since I use RAID so if a drive fails I can replace it without losing any data.)<br>Each of the drives has a QR code to scan to verify that the drive isn't counterfeit.<br>Seagate has decided that a good security policy is to rate-limit users to one verification every few minutes.<br>[EDIT: Turns out it's a stability issue, not a security issue.

Jonathan Kamens<p><a href="https://federate.social/tags/USAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USAA</span></a> sent me another copy of the "Account Closure Notification" letter yesterday. That's four days in a row sending me a letter they should have sent just once, four months ago.<br>They still haven't responded to the message I sent them on February 5 asking why they sent me this letter four months late.<br>They also haven't responded to the message I sent them yesterday asking why they'd sent me this same letter three days in a row.<br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/smdh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smdh</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/fail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fail</span></a></p>
Jonathan Kamens<p>We canceled and replaced one of our <a href="https://federate.social/tags/USAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USAA</span></a> credit card numbers back in October because we thought there were fraudulent charges on it (it turned out there weren't, but that's a different story).<br>Yesterday, February 4, 4 months after the number was replaced, USAA sent us a letter through their web site notifying us that the number had been canceled and replaced and what we needed to do about it.<br>Four. Months. Later.<br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/wtaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wtaf</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/smdh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smdh</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/customerService" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>customerService</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/fail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fail</span></a></p>
Jonathan Kamens<p>I'm not really sure why this idiot thought it would be a good idea to try to sell a web-scraping service whose explicit purpose is to illegally circumvent anti-scraping protections to someone who does information security and privacy for the U.S. government.

Jonathan Kamens<p>My health insurance company (<a href="https://federate.social/tags/GEHA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GEHA</span></a>) decided late last year to stop processing emails sent to their customer service mailbox (replaced with the "message center" on their new website).<br>So they just started ignoring emails.<br>They didn't notify members to stop using the mailbox, or set up an auto-reply, or turn off the mailbox so messages would bounce.<br>They just stopped handling the messages.<br>And they apparently consider this a reasonable, OK thing to have done.<br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/smdh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smdh</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/healthInsurance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>healthInsurance</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/wtf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wtf</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/fail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fail</span></a></p>
