Dear reddit mobile app

Image
Never have I ever wanted to  Share anything from reddit to my instagram story. I've never even updated my story before.  Share "the full post" of a picture that I'm saving to my phone or text that I'm screenshotting.  Would be really nice if they removed both of those annoying things that they've recently added. I keep accidentally hitting Instagram story when I'm trying to hit save image due to muscle memory. They won't, though. Business side people always want developers to make features that no one ever asked for.

One of many reasons that Confluence's search feature sucks so much

It searches with an OR, not an AND.  Example: If you search for "rig" and "error", it will search for everything that has rig  as well as everything that has error , and will not take into account the combination of these terms. It will also not organize its results in any meaningful way. So hypothetically, you could have like 20 results with just "error" before you see anything with "rig".  This leads to poor documentation and makes otherwise quick tasks take way longer than they need to.  To see this in action: Try searching for "error" as well as "afadsf". It will come up with a ton of results and if you CTRL+F "afadsf", it will find nothing (other than in the search bar ofc). This is really not desired behavior. 

It's returning.

I grew up in, and will move back to, a place where there were no true seasons. Living in a seasonal place with SAD means that whenever it's winter, I feel like the dark, the cold, and the painful, biting winds will last forever.  But it doesn't. The sun comes back. It always does.  From The Sad Ghost Club (not my art or images).

Lost motivation to go outside.

I am looking outside right now and I just don't want to do it. I don't want to take my walk. I haven't driven to the park at all this week, zero motivation, just been doing short walks around my apartment complex instead. This has been the most brutal winter yet. I hate the snow, I hate the ice, I hate the cold, and there's so much snow that the mountains won't be suitable for outdoor recreation until maybe August.  Sunday apparently has a high of 64 though...what a rapid change. I'd leave Utah immediately if I didn't have friends here and a job that doesn't pay me enough to live comfortably in CA. But 64 means water park season is approaching. Now that is nice. 

Windows 10: How to get rid of the annoying "ding" sound when you hit Ctrl+F and don't find anything

I hate  that sound. It is an extremely grating noise and it provokes a disproportionate amount of anger within me. :D 1. Search for "Change System Sounds" 2. Click on "Default Beep", and change the sound to "None". Ctrl+F some page and type in random letters. You won't hear the annoying noise anymore! SOURCE
