I joined Mastodon five years ago – a full decade after I started using Twitter, by the way – and still have absolutely no idea how it works.

It’s effectively impossible to manage uploaded photos on Amazon Alexa devices using the iOS app because if you’ve uploaded more than about 120 photos, the screen refreshes back to the top any time you scroll down more than a few pages.

I’ve reported this twice now to the Alexa team and gotten no response. I even explained why it was happening and how to fix it! (I had to deal with the same issue with my bartender app.)

Is there a sniglet for that moment of panic before you realize the problem is that you’re using your wireless mouse upside down and not that your computer is going haywire?

It is baffling to me that I can no longer reliably use iTunes to manage the music on my iPhone. I have tens of thousands of tracks which I’ve lovingly curated and maintained for over a decade, and dozens of custom dynamic playlists, which are now essentially useless.
