Incredibly niche, but the sub r/IThinkYouShouldLeave (based on the sketch comedy show) is a group of people who have proven to be like-minded on a broad array of subjects, leading us to believe that there is something about the show's humor that attracts similar personalities. 

Many just realized there is another sub-- r/ITYSL based on the show, and WE HATE THOSE GUYS lol

Did Covid make everyone just not care?  I include myself in that.  I find myself feeling that way.

Covid was part of a triple-quadruple whammy. We watched our society's disinterest in intellectual knowledge present a real and present danger (more immediate than the inevitable climate collapse that we're all stuffing deep down into the back of our mind). At the same time, we watched holders of the levers of power in government/industry literally not care if forcing people to go to work threatened their lives. But there was a glimmer of hope--while we were paused from our normal routines, we took notice of social problems and started a protest movement.. which was loudly shouted down by an enthusiastic culture of police worship. Meanwhile the fascist movement we fought a world war to conquer came roaring back into the mainstream, wreaking permanent havoc on our institutions. Everything is twice as expensive, and billionaires are getting 50 times richer. And to top it all off, the dumbest public figure of all time, a genuinely bad person, has been re-elected (possibly permanently). Oh, and the richest man in the world infiltrated every government database and downloaded every existing piece of information about everybody. It's a bad movie plot.. how are we supposed to be mentally engaged with this? The answer "what would you have done if you were there when the Nazis rose to power?" is finally understood. Complain, to no effect.

New solution to this issue just dropped-- users won't have to worry about Teams inability to add words to the dictionary because IT JUST DOESN'T DO A SPELLCHECK ANYMORE. Problem "solved"

1. Disable Backspace Deletion in Reading Pane


  • Go to File > Options > Mail.
  • Scroll to Outlook Panes > Reading Pane.
  • Uncheck “Single key reading using space bar” if enabled (this prevents navigation that might lead to accidental deletion).

Cool, thank you.
I'm not on the same version-- I don't see this an an option to check/uncheck.

Also, the first thing I do with my Outlook client is TURN OFF THE READING PANE.
I only want a list of email titles (and the little preview of the first line). "Reading" an email is ONLY when I click on it-- there's no ambiguity.

...

eta: Something is deeply troubling about this feature existing in the production run of a software that millions of people ar using. AcCiDeNtALLy deleting people's emails due to an inadvetant "navigation" because THE SPACE BAR has macro-features pinned to it. The ƒucking SPACE BAR. 

And-- THEY DIDN'T TEST THIS. Nobody TESTED the software-- "using the software like an end user" .. or they would have noticed this.

Microsoft is releasing BETA software. I know this is true because MS Teams can't add words to the dictionary. They released it in Beta, planning to (maybe) fix features later, like a video game developer.

That's horrifying. What was the checkbox?

In my field, not having the correct number of leading zeroes turns data into meaningless gibberish.

I've been pasting this stuff into spreadsheets for 20 years, and Excel never once "offered to help" with this until 1 week ago.

I have no idea how to do this. I tried saving some pages but they just showed up as a folder full of jpegs and random gibberish.
