Technology is annoying

[Rasika]

Oh my god, technology is annoying... but it is so slow that it makes me infruriated !! hahahha

[RuiAce]

Every time I use \(\LaTeX\) and I type ] or ) instead of }...

Facebook never used to be so laggy. What on earth happened.

I feel like Facebook was always laggy. They've just been cramming it with anything and everything so they can get as much data as they like. Adding reacts, whole bunch of new settings, fb history, messenger... It's bound to be extremely laggy. All the time, it takes at least 5 seconds to click on an image

There are ways to combat this especially on the phone.

I use Messenger Lite, which is a barebones version of the full blown Messenger app. Doesn't include all that junk such as Rooms etc. and is only a few MB in size. Works the exact same in terms of notifications etc. Look up Messenger Lite in the App Store. Should be there

Also a Lite version of Facebook for Android: https://www.facebook.com/lite/ (although I think this is for certain devices only)

I do agree though - especially on the PC. I view a page and always get a warning that scripts are slowing my pages down. Says alot really

Speaking of facebook - i've always found it interesting that you can change the settings in regards to friend requests (e.g. who can friend request you and who can't), but there is no similar option for Messaging. Like.. personally, I don't want random people messaging me.. so i'd love an option to get rid of the message button altogether from my timeline from those who aren't my "friends"

Ha, that's pretty sweet. Thanks Aaron!
I also find the same issues with you, a lot of the functions on messenger are completely seperate to the normal facebook. It's really stupid how there are hidden tools that can't be found easily like choosing who can send friend requests.

My laptop refused to behave and open Chrome- froze the whole system up for half an hour. Not loving it rn.

It's more annoying to me in the sense everyone's so drawn to it. Eating out with my friends, they're usually just on Clash or Snap instead of talking. It's bizarre..

That was never a problem for me

Because I don't know what to talk about IRL at times.

Honestly, not something I experience. It could be because due to different lifestyles, I don't get to hang out with my group of mates nearly as much as we used to, so when we do get together, we're all focusing on whatever we're doing

Forgetting a bracket when coding is honestly the worst thing that always happens to programmers. Smh...

This.

You can tell which people do it, as they are usually very fidgety without it.  Some are also very uncomfortable with eye contact.

I feel like forgetting a ; in C is just as painful as forgetting a } in LaTeX...

[RuiAce]

When you make an infinite loop.

Hilarious, but a bloody pain
