His Holiness is a [*big* Paul Konerko fan](https://www.mlb.com/news/pope-leo-signed-paul-konerko-jersey). I cannot think of a better way to demonstrate you’re a real one than to be this excited about a jersey from the 40th-best player of his era. I also love that the White Sox put Konerko’s name above the pope’s on the jersey. Like, sure, you’re the pope—that’s great and all—but did you have a [career WAR of nearly 30](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/konerpa01.shtml) across 18 seasons? (The answer is no. The pope is [anti-war](https://www.reuters.com/world/pope-says-he-will-continue-speak-out-against-war-after-trump-attack-2026-04-13/).) Everything about this image speaks of goodness flourishing. Magnificent humanity! *Source:* [The 40 Most Rage-Inducing Problems in Tech](https://www.theringer.com/2026/05/28/tech/pope-leo-xiv-ai-encyclical-tech-industry-problems) I've not had a belly laugh like the one I had after reading that in a long time. =) > And thus, in a spirit of piety and wise counsel, I do herewith offer the following humble list of the 40 most unbelievably fricking irritating problems in tech. It’s pretty long, but there are probably some annoyances I forgot. I never claimed to be infallible, UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE. *Source:* [The 40 Most Rage-Inducing Problems in Tech - The Ringer](https://www.theringer.com/2026/05/28/tech/pope-leo-xiv-ai-encyclical-tech-industry-problems) The whole list is worth reading. However, here are some of my favorites. > 4. Please, please stop asking me to verify my humanity by clicking on tiny motorcycles. Five thousand years in the future, anthropologists studying our electronic debris will conclude that our civilization believed the definition of a human was “a creature that can properly identify crosswalks.” In these prompts, some of the crosswalks don’t even look like crosswalks. I lost 90 seconds of my life trying to decide whether a highway overpass qualified as a “bridge.” Stop doing this to us. *Source:* [The 40 Most Rage-Inducing Problems in Tech - The Ringer](https://www.theringer.com/2026/05/28/tech/pope-leo-xiv-ai-encyclical-tech-industry-problems) > 10. Stop doing the thing where the banner at the top of the site auto-hides when I scroll a short way down the page, but then reappears when I scroll back up, hiding the very lines of text I am scrolling up to see. You know that thing? Where the sentence you were looking for suddenly disappears beneath a Javascript-animated link to the About page? It sounds so trivial, right? I want to throw a piano through a wall. *Source:* [The 40 Most Rage-Inducing Problems in Tech - The Ringer](https://www.theringer.com/2026/05/28/tech/pope-leo-xiv-ai-encyclical-tech-industry-problems) Preach! > 23. Stop burying every website under 40 layers of pop-ups. *Source:* [The 40 Most Rage-Inducing Problems in Tech - The Ringer](https://www.theringer.com/2026/05/28/tech/pope-leo-xiv-ai-encyclical-tech-industry-problems) Get rid of [Dickovers!](https://daringfireball.net/2026/05/what_is_a_dickover) > 31. Also, when I click the unsubscribe button, don’t remove me from one made-up subtype of email update while keeping me subscribed to 17 other made-up subtypes. *Source:* [The 40 Most Rage-Inducing Problems in Tech - The Ringer](https://www.theringer.com/2026/05/28/tech/pope-leo-xiv-ai-encyclical-tech-industry-problems) Delightful!!
