from back when Nathan Lineback actually could talk about and critique Windows instead of raging over the Calendar app requiring internet access
I mean on the one hand it's a silly thing to get mad about but on the other, why does a calendar app require internet access? If the calendar ends up changing somehow, there are bigger things to worry about.

I mean, I guess a calendar with no internet access makes sense if you only use one computer and are fine with having your appointments show up on that computer and that computer alone
But I don't think that's a common use case anymore; most people use a computer and a phone, or different computers at home and work, or something where it just makes sense to have your stuff online so you don't have to enter it over and over on each device
Yeah but it just seems strange to make it a requirement.
Also there still are people in the world who don't have constant internet access, and many of those people tend to live in places where Windows computers are the only real option if you have a computer in the first place (s/o to Brazil though with its weirdass Linux distros).

I dunno, like, I can see "I wish the Calendar app had an offline mode" as a valid criticism.
But what he does is more like "the Calendar has no offline mode, so instead of actually trying it out I'm going to refuse to connect to the internet and complain about how it doesn't work."
Which is really disappointing, because he used to actually take a critical look at user interfaces, and he still seems capable of that, but he's got such a hateboner for Microsoft that with every new version of Windows it's more of a rant than a review.

Not physical pain.
But my emotional state is kinda fucked up right now. >_<

Update: a cup of coffee has improved my mood.
I really wish I didn't have to self-medicate with caffeine like this but it seems fairy reliable so I'm going to continue until I can actually get in to see my psychiatrist.
The article for Escape for Tomorrow, which devotes a weird amount of space to video reviewer Tony Goldmark complaining about the movie, along with a lengthy quotation in which he calls it 'a less racist Birth of a Nation'.
If I'm not mistaken, he and Dan Olson are the go-to guys in that circle for technical advice as well. I'm just not that interested in most of what he has to talk about, and his style isn't my thing.

@Haven: For some reason I'm amused you called it a "spanner"

and if you are just using it on one computer, isn't it reasonable to give you the *option* to use the calendar app offline?
i mean yeah it's a completely trivial, minor thing, but i feel like giving users a choice is generally preferable to not doing so
sometimes it feels like it's like, "this is the computer WE made, you will use it and you will LIKE it"
You're in pain? Sorry to hear that.
That sucks.

they have these weird crossovers now and again, and they're often quite silly and forced
them being friends is a less cynical answer so fair enough
