Archiving my Twitter, Facebook and other social network activity
I'm trying to remember what phone menu I was stuck on recently that played audio of a slightly muffled clacking keyboard between voice input and the response, as if it was a real person typing my question into their computer and not a recorded voice hooked directly into the system.
On one hand, it didn't fool me for a moment. And was kind of off-putting. On the other, at least I knew the call was still connected while I waited.

As terrible as the old remote interaction workflow was, the new method of showing a URL and telling the user to copy and paste it is so much worse.
Follow, reply, boost, whatever. The pop-up to send you over to your own instance was a pain. But the pop-up telling you how to work around it is like putting up a sign telling people how to get to the back entrance instead of fixing the door.
I am working on a Mac laptop with a Windows VM, a Linux VM, an RDP to a remote Windows server, and SSH shells open to remote Linux servers.
I have no idea what shortcut keys to use at any given time.
Also I think I’ve got websites open in at least 4 browsers, some Firefox and some Chrome, split across the host and the two VMs.
And I thought finding the right tab was bad under ordinary circumstances!
At one point I had a reference page open in a browser on the host for something I was doing on a VM and I just could not switch windows consistently.
Why am I doing this????
Looking forward to finishing this project so I can go back to just using the host system and SSH shells
But hey, now I know you can drag and drop a file from the LXQt file manager in an Ubuntu VM running on a Mac to the Windows file manager in another VM that’s accessing a network share on a Windows domain over a VPN that the Lubuntu VM doesn’t know about and it ACTUALLY WORKS!
UI tip: If you use a slider to set a number, also let people just type the number. They might want precision, or you might have compat probs
