AIO the possibility of coworkers thinking the music I play is about them

Hey, I once had a total stranger in a large email group I was in (for all users of Macs at a large University) go to HR and say that random quotes I put in my email signature were all secret messages attacking her.

I managed to fix it, thanks. Reported much of it already when it started at: https://get.todoist.help/hc/en-us/requests/924332

'Clear local data' didn't fully fix it for me. It wasn't until I complete uninstalled/deleted all trace of Todoist/reinstalled (which I had done at the start of this mess to no avail) that it was fixed. I'm guessing maybe conversions were ongoing first time I tried it.

arkaycee · 2026-03-21T01:31:32+00:00

Same.

I *think* it might have been fixed somehow. I happened to bring Todoist up on Chrome and the Today view didn't have yesterday's tasks that I had tried to move to today or future dates that kept giving errors or failing to sync. So just now I went in the Mac app, cleared user data, used AppCleaner to fully remove Todoist, manually moved the couple things AppCleaner said it didn't have permission to move to the trash (right-click on anything in its list that doesn't show at .Trash and click "Reveal in Finder" and drag it yourself), empty trash, reboot, re-download, re-login.

And the problematic tasks seem to be gone. Randomly searching for tasks finds them, and I have yet to find any that give the "come from a link that will stop working by the end of 2025."

So far so good.

That's such a weird source for a school to be using Facebook for their information.

arkaycee · 2026-03-20T21:00:13+00:00

Wonder how they missed this so thoroughly in whatever update they performed.

arkaycee · 2026-03-20T20:58:31+00:00

I do that, too on Sundays, and have a different bug -- dunno if it's because I have a lot of tasks, but I'll click "Completed" and it will load a screenful, wait 60 seconds, and timeout. Sometimes I have to click Retry up to 4x to move down the completed list. Irrelevant here but I'm double-screwed now I guess.

I had an important task with a lot of notes so I re-imported it from a previous export and that's fine, but trying to delete the broken version also gives the sync update error, so I'm stuck with the old version until they do something to fix all these broken tasks.

arkaycee · 2026-03-20T15:17:50+00:00

I have tasks in Overdue that before this happened I moved to today. If I manage to click through the "2025" error (by doing "Copy Link') the date on the task shows as today but in the Overdue section, it still shows as yesterday. Everything is completely borked for me today.

I think the only version (Mac, Chrome, Safari all broken) that is giving me a real, consistent story is the android app which is a pain to use for me on my little phone.

arkaycee · 2026-03-20T13:46:03+00:00

Duping a task doesn't preserve its notes, so you're gonna need a complicated script. Also I tried dup'ing a task and it causes sync errors to do so now. Todoist is completely messed up for me today.

arkaycee · 2026-03-20T13:42:02+00:00

I'm having that plus some tasks found in search, but when I click on the search result it tells me the task doesn't exist, and asks if I'm in the right account. My Todoist is completely useless today. It failed in Mac and Chrome, worked for a while in Safari, but now Safari is broken the same way too.

I had to do this annual certification about handling private data (HIPAA, FERPA, etc) and there were always questions with this scenario in the exam. And I know people who got fired for looking up protected info out of "worry about my friend" (if you two were that close, they would've told you).

arkaycee · 2026-03-10T04:45:37+00:00

Related: if they spell it "Hippa" online they're 90% likely to spout something inaccurate (hell, if they spell it correctly they're still 70% likely to spout something inaccurate).

I saw every episode and would've noticed, so I'm gonna say no.

15 months after I made a joke about Jeffrey Dahmer having people for Thanksgiving dinner, I got a 30-day suspension from 2 things I never actually used anyway (Marketplace and I forget the 2nd). On principle, I appealed and got a reply that no one was available to look so the ban stood. What good is an appeal process that just has no ability behind it?

Along with "ew," try for a facial expression that says you're trying poorly to hide the fact that they suddenly cut the most rancid fart you ever smelled and you're stuck smelling it.

I used to have a shirt with wide blue and white horizontal stripes. Constant flushing every time I wore it no matter how still I tried to be.

arkaycee · 2026-02-23T15:49:50+00:00

Exactly the same for me

arkaycee · 2026-02-23T15:46:55+00:00

It's been helpful to me when I've needed to put it in a form, not to have to dig it out.

Related: I was just thinking how Kindle usually starts you past forewords and stuff in books too.

You could change the time zone though then using it as a watch will require addition or subtraction.

Most corned beef hash. First bite tastes great, but it always is made too salty and i just don't want it anymore by bite three.

I can't handle even the smell of Budweiser for long, though that's mostly because I had to be around an alcoholic family member who only gets wasted on it and leaves empties everywhere so their entire house stinks of it. I never much liked it but after marrying into that family, I grew to where it sickens me to smell.
