My daughter lost her social studies essay because LibreOffice doesn't have autosave on automatically.
This is about the most recent version of LibreOffice on Windows 10. I can't speak for other versions....

People using 'less' when they should be using 'fewer'
EDIT: you guys have dug up some truly horrible pisstakes :D Thank you for those....
2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sense as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet...
Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable...
There is some Tesla brigade working hard to remove everything from the internet that makes them look bad.
The last couple days I've noticed every post that shows Tesla not looking good, has been removed from some higher directive. Not deleted by OP....
Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them?
Just so tired of almost every time a doctor submits stuff to insurance, we have to be the ones to make multiple phone calls to both the doctor's office and insurance to iron everything out, figure out what the issue is (it's always a different issue), and basically be the go-between for the office and insurance. What am I...
When people use "minimum" or "maximum" and then follow that with a range.
I once applied for a job where one of the requirements was "minimum 5 to 10 years experience in X". My friend told me to submit a CV saying I have 3 to 6 years experience in X and see if they shortlist me.
Anyone else have their eclipse viewing ruined by clouds?
Was in south Ontario, the sky was clear for about an hour before totality, and then about 15 minutes before, a big dark cloud came in and ruined it.
I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI
I've been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn't take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced in...
Grocery stores promoting gas discounts are not helping the transition away from gas vehicles
Large grocery stores around here offer cheaper gas if you shop at there store. This can be up to a dollar a gallon off.
Wordpress: Everything about it
Got suckered into helping a non-profit with their web presence, and of course, it was a Wordpress site (at least it wasn't a Facebook page)....
I swear credit card companies make log-ins fail on purpose.
I pay all my bills online so I'm used to navigating logins and payment apps. I never have nearly as much trouble paying credit card bills....
Online dating
Ah, reddit
Sometimes I think this whole process of deleting content from Reddit in protest hasn't really worked out for everyone...
Tried to cancel my gym membership and of course I'm not allowed to do that online
i tried to update my credit card so they won't send me daily fucking emails that i "owe" them $30 (because a gym membership definitely needs to be a cOnTraCt, sure, sure), but the website didn't work, so I tried calling their "automated" system, whereupon after entering my info to the robot, it gave up and connected me to a guy...
Astounding absurdity
None of what follows is new. I know this stuff happens all the time. And yet somehow this insignificant thing shocked me and it's been gnawing at me for the past few days. And today was the icing on the shit cake....
Trying to update the email address on numerous accounts, and 9/10 require that I call or contact support via email to get that done.
Is this new, or have online accounts never offered the ability to update your email address easily?
My half-Jewish daughter tried matzo for the first time today. Egg and onion. The best kind of matzo. She declared it "just okay."
This is why we never gave her a bat mitzvah....
A rant about an experience I had with Google maps today.
I am currently studying in college and part of my college course dictates that I most do a work experience placement. I ended being placed in a charity shop. The first couple of days went well. Its a small little shop in a shopping center so there wasn't much for me to do. So they decided that today I'll do some work in the...

eBay restricted my account permanently and won't help me with it
I'm a casual eBay user. On rare occasions, I will sell household items when I no longer use them. Well, I went to sell my Nintendo Switch on eBay and found out my account has been restricted indefinitely selling. When I tried chat with the customer service agent, they provided a name of some entity that I don't recognize in...

Wayfair's call center insists you give them your SSN before they'll file a report for credit fraud
I just got a bill for a Wayfair credit card that was issued by Citi bank that I did not apply for. I never even shopped on that website....
Corporate astroturfing is the norm
Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.
