Onedrive constantly trying to steal all my files, bing in the start menu, windows update hogging resources then rebooting at the worst time, offline updates taking fking forever even with a fast SSD, layers and layers of bloat and garbage we have to click through or remove on new installs, removing customisation features and taking a decade to half-ass a control panel rewrite, I could go on...

By default setting, windows defender will upload "suspicious files" to Microsoft.

A while back I caught it trying to nab my OpenVPN installer which also contains the certificates.

Basically the Apple and Google stuff that others like so much.

All 3 (Apple, Google, Microsoft) share a lot of the same negative behaviors, but only Apple and Google get a free pass for some reason. Microsoft is worse in many aspects, but look at the recent debacle with NightmareEclipse and how shitty MSRC is. Apple pulls the same crap and are even less transparent about security, but they get a free pass in tech circles for some reason.

`d.add({ days: 100 })` also wraps like you'd expect. `d.with({ day: 208 })` becomes the last day of the month instead but "March 208th" is kinda nonsense anyway so whatever. You could emulate it with `d.add({ days: 208 - d.day })`

Ooo.. burn.

iPhone X? That came out this year didn't it?

No, you’re thinking of the iPad Touch

I'm pretty sure it was last year, when the "no new features, bugfixes only" MacOS version was released.

And if the tab was unloaded then you press back it changes the URL but not the actual contents of the page.

Can I preventDefault on mouse5? What about the physical back button on Android?

Australia did that but also paid out the telecom companies a gazillion dollars for infrastructure that had only been privatised like a decade earlier.

they voted a conservative government who did what conservative governments do.

what did people think abbot and turnbull were selling? wasn't better service for users, it was servicing telstra and murdoch.

What would you add to MP3 tags? ID3v2 already has separate fields for section/title/performer/conductor/composer/lyricist, it isn't the spec's fault Spotify doesn't use them.

It's the "pick any one" nature.

You have to classify every title as one type.

How would we classify Zappa, or Secret Chiefs 3? Are they jazz, alternative (a worthless category), rock, pop, heavy metal, comedy? Depending on what you listen to, it could be any one of them. Also, each song could be in multiple categories. Boz Skaggs was known for disco-style pop, but he was an outstanding blues performer, and many of his songs reflect that mix.

This is really a music industry problem, and software just reflects that. The bug is really in the Requirements phase.

Well, it's less of a technology problem than it is an industry one. You can have multiple entries in the genre list and they're freeform, for example Ambient;Electronic, in both ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4. For Vorbis Comments, you have multiple GENRE= tags. Some players support this.

In my interactions with distributors, it seems streaming services tend to support up to two genre classifications; though they're pretty outdated and general (even more general and dated than the Winamp genre list). I don't think they use the metadata presented much in the classification; in fact Spotify does its own estimation of 'energy' and other subjective emotions using various classifier algorithms.

It's the record companies/publishers which don't use them. I don't think I know one record company which reports metadata well.
