Still Mad About CD Prices<p>Reason 237 I fucking hate <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/brightspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>brightspace</span></a>: they lock all conversation about their product behind a soft paywall (e.g. I get stupid emails like this where I can't just see what Yi Yan.L.782 said). Every fucking interaction has to be on their platform, under their control. Much of the content is hidden from search engines. </p><p>Of course, once you get into their little walled garden you discover that searching for unfixed bugs or unmet feature requests is only possible on a one-term-at-a-time search basis. There's almost no way to see if related issues exist.</p><p>No surprise: when I dove into this last year and spent a couple of hours trying to answer some questions about basic, industry-standard functionality (spoiler: the answer to all of them was "No"), I figured out that they have hundreds or thousands of unresolved issues going back 20 years.</p><p>This company is worth a billion dollars.</p><p>Edit: I clicked the link. I did. The message was "We have also had this question. Does anyone else know..."</p><p>Holy fuck this is stupid.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/lms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lms</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>highered</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>enshittification</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/monopoly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>monopoly</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/shittydesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shittydesign</span></a></p>
