    Error messages when I was growing up:

    Network Error: TCP protocol not installed.

    Error messages now:

    Something went wrong. :(

      Never forget that they took away our moving progress bars w/ descriptions of the task being performed at each stage and gave us shitty spinning circles.

      We used to progress, now we get fucked around.

      Exactly. That second example infuriates me. Just give me something to troubleshoot, for fuck’s sake.

        It infuriates me because it’s disrespectful. The message insinuates that I wouldn’t be able to figure it out.

        Needed to add my phone number for 2FA on a website. Something went wrong :( checked network tab and the error being returned from the API was too short phone number, they’d made an assumption based on the country they were from.

        I still had to message their support to let them know, but… They could’ve made it easier to find out the reason at least.
