Mildly Infuriating

UPDATE: What it seems like the general opinion in response to this post is that we allow Reddit content to be posted here but it must be complete and not require a jump to Reddit to get the full story. I propose allowing Reddit posts but not requiring attribution, and if you want to link to the original, do it in a comment for those that want it but not in the post body. If that is objectionable, we can work on the rule more. I am going to make this change today but it’s not immutable if you guys don’t like the outcome. I’ll leave this post pinned for a couple more days to facilitate any further discussion.

macOS recently introduced the ability to limit your battery to only charge up to 80%, a feature that I personally appreciate as I’m mostly using my MacBook plugged into a dock and it’s arguably a great way to limit the ageing of the unit.

Our kids headteacher just sent out an email saying that they’re changing the school uniform policy. The head seem to have a boner for this as she’s been talking about it in emails for about a year, she actually sent out a potential new uniform about six months ago and it got absolutely panned. She’s finally just sent out a new policy saying that all the polo shorts will be changing from white to blue, they’ve got to have a uniform for when the kids go out to do messy play rather than letting them just wear old clothes, loads of little rules like how leggings aren’t allowed under skirts but tights are, and every kid now basically needs to have a ponytail and they’re only allowed blue hair bobbles to hold it in place.

I know, I know, reddit sucks ass. I’ve been using firefox with ublock to read the best ofs for the unquenchable need for bullshit drama in my life.
