New retarded Qt Creator icon and how to revert back to the previous one.

So Blizzard replaced the succubus with an ugly monster? What a nice occasion to finally delete Hearthstone!

Got a scam-call from some kumars, where they asked me to find a Windows key on the Mac keyboard and also tried to dictate a shell script over the phone.

Charged a Ruter card for an upcoming month. Tried to activate it right away - terminal shown me that I still have 2 days on my previous ticket. Okay, I thought, the new ticket will start after the current one expires - something you would expect to be by design, at least that's the way it worked in Moscow.

One week later a ticket-control at T-bane asked me for my ticket. I shown it to them, and they told me that it is not activated. And right after that they shown me their terminal with their system where it was clearly marked that I purchased my ticket a week ago and tried to activate it. But since I did it before the previous ticket expired, they explained, the new one did not activate.

So what is the fucking point in storing all that information in your system, if it is not used for anything? Why on earth wouldn't the new ticket activate after the previous one expires, if user explicitly tried to activate it? Bloody hell.

Good thing they let me go without paying any fine, although they said that they put me in some "system". Well, I'll know better next time.

Qt's marketing team has switched to yet another CMS, and of course everything looks like shit now. Actually, they did it a couple of months ago or so, but I didn't have time to write about it earlier.

O-oh, so maybe you shouldn't listen to every single whimsy idiot, who's getting offended by random things (a small christmas hat in this case). What a surprise, turns out much more (sane) people didn't like that, who would have thought.

Что-то, блядь, до хуя развелось всяких обидчивых уебанов.

The addic7ed.com website has been degrading for some years (slow backend, porno ads all over the place), and by now it has became simply retarded. Just look at this - the very first click anywhere on the page will open some shitty porn/scam/whatever resource. I asked for some comments at their IRC channel, but they did not seem to care much.

By the way, the dropdown list with all the shows, seasons and episodes stopped working long time ago.

Fortunately, thanks to tools like addic7ed-cli, you don't need to visit this piece of shit of a website anymore.

After BlueMail e-mail client sued Apple for removing BlueMail application from the App Store, I've learnt about BlueMail's existence. And since I am constantly looking for a The Bat! alternative on Mac OS, I installed BlueMail to try it out.

And I uninstalled it a couple of minutes later, because:

1. It is based on Electron, so it automatically goes to hell;
2. Apparently, adding an e-mail account means that BlueMail will store your credentials on BlueMail servers. I can't even start to explain how retarded that is. As far as I remember, Spark e-mail client does the same.

Can you believe this fucking "modern" "software development".

A month ago or so Slack introduced a new design. And what you couldn't miss is that the search bar now occupies the full-page-width block on top. What a brilliant idea.

But not as brilliant as the fact that there is no option to disable/hide it. Official Slack response to that is: "After we tested with users directly, we found that moving our search bar front and center better matches our customers’ expectations". Which fucking users? Who are these idiots? I am not one of them, can I have an option to hide/disable the search bar? To which Slack replies: "We don't have plans to make the search bar hideable at the moment".

Yeah, no worries, I'll just do it with CSS then:

div.p-client_container > div.p-client {
    display: block;
}
div.p-client > div.p-workspace {
    min-height: 100%;
}
div.p-client > div.p-top_nav {
    display: none;
}

...Can everybody just come to their senses and start using IRC again?
