I can’t count the number of times I’ve updated/upgraded only to be kicked in the teeth by some smartass programmer’s bright idea for a feature.
It’s one thing to add bloat to a program, it’s another to force it down your users throat.
I really don’t mind having a featureful program. Really, I don’t. However, when I’m used to things working one way I don’t like having things change without my permission.
I also really hate when that happens and I can’t figure out how to change things back the way they were.
Macromedia Adobe Flash is a stupid idea that has been implemented badly. Hell, since day 0 the entire concept of browser plugins has been shaky at best. Seriously.

What in the hell is with programmers and their completely unusable error messages?
I could at least respect “Error 0: I hate you.” or the slightly less insulting “Dude, I can’t handle that.”. A smart program would not only give a real response like “Unknown codec” but it would give a hint as to the name of the codec and maybe even where to go to get codecs or troubleshoot further.

I dipped into my archives to fish out the old DOSEMU vga font. It is a thing of beauty.

The 9×15 existed on Lubuntu and I must have been using it throughout my time up until Lubuntu’s retirement on 2016-03-26.
