One of the hallmarks of programmers today is they don't program anything. You can see that in any of the social networks since none of them do much of anything and it's most ludicrous in Facebook where any icon might move to a different place on the display for some bizarre reason. No-one asks why; people just ask where the fuck they put it this time.
Fortunately, the Google programmers haven't done anything to Blogger for ages and we see evidence today of why we want them to leave it alone because they fucking borked it again.
Embedding images in the blog article now fails altogether in Safari but at least it kind of works with Firefox, albeit in a considerably more clumsy way than it did previously. I kind of liked the clumsiness because at least it was consistent and predictable whereas now there's no telling where the image will go or if it will disappear altogether even though Blogger thinks it still works.
Thanks, Microsoft, for conditioning America to failure. Oh, you have a 'blue screen of death?' Just boot your computer and you will be right as rain ... until it crashes again or it gets infected with yet another virus.
Update:
Drag-and-drop doesn't work anymore for images with Safari. It is possible in Safari to embed images by clicking the image icon and going through the whole process. The behavior is somewhat different with Firefox and I don't know or care about Chrome which was too damn clunky the last time I used it.
There is the option now of engaging in a period of software evaluation to discover the extent of what's broken or to smoke a bowl.
Ed: need a light?
Thanks, Cheech. Right now I believe I need a new screen.
Ed: because cleanliness is next to haulin' ass?
Right you are, Jean Stafford. A clean pipe bowl is a happy pipe bowl.
Ed: I'll write that down.
In software evolution, there was a time when maybe you would look forward to the next release of Adobe Photoshop because you want to see the new functions added since the last version. That was typical of software and that kept us buying more of it. However, social networks, ostensibly, are not selling anything and people really don't expect them to do anything ... so they don't.
Blogger isn't a social network but it's symptomatic of the new phenomenon in which software never really evolves much but every so often they move things.
Fucking why?
What kind of lame ass micromanaging bitch of a boss comes by to tell you, "You see that li'l icon over there? Well, move it over here."
WTF?? What programmers put up with that crap??
Ed: because they're neoliberals who have never eaten anything but wheat germ and propaganda?
Maybe so.
That does it for today's little rant and I can cheerfully report smoking a bowl serves much better than software evaluation.
