Insurance must be the only industry that actively tries not to deliver the service that its customers pay them for.

This post itself is mildly infuriating as I can’t tell what’s wrong in the picture!

A lot of car parks are becoming like this. It’s especially frustrating when you try to download the app but you have no signal and there’s no other way to pay.

Everyone: we hate it, turn it off.

Admins: ok, we heard you, we’re going to keep it on.

Ah right yeah that makes sense

People get pissed at airports because they’re on holiday mode with their mates, it’s part of the holiday to have some beers at the airport. It’s these kind of passengers that will be the issue, it’s nothing to do with the design of the airport.

The very sudden and very quick pain I had in my back this morning. It was so bad I very nearly passed out.

Why does someone need to be home for that? Can’t they leave it outside or around the back somewhere?

On the plus side you can bleed out knowing they now have to spend all that time and effort trying to find your valuables.

They won’t care or won’t even notice these things. They’ll open their laptop, book a holday or find some new car insurance or write a report of whatever and not even think about what the OS does. Unless they’re someone who is already extremely sensitive over privacy of their data, you’re not going to convice the average Windows user to switch to Linux.

When I was younger I used to use Ubuntu as my main OS for years, tried Arch for a bit - then went back to Windows. I haven’t got the time or energy to be fucking about with things like that anymore.

Windows is for people who’s life or personality doesn’t reolve around their computer. It’s just a tool to get things done and that’s it.

That and Inbox were peak Google.

I do find the way he works kinda strange. He’s of course entitled to work how he pleases but I think just some communication with the community would be appreciated especially as people are paying a subscription. Just pin a thread to say “I’m going to be away for x months, but I’ll still be working on the app.”

I’m surprised too by the “big bang” approach to doing huge releases, when deploying small incremental changes is the favoured approach in the software development community. You can keep providing value and fixing bugs whilst getting constant feedback.

I paid for the Reddit version but I’m glad I didn’t pay for the Lemmy version.

I was responding to the “What’s the most boomer complaint you have?” - not complaining specifically about the abbreviations in the screenshot.

People abbreviating random words when there’s literally no need to.

My 1st & 2nd gen Chromecasts are working just as good as was the day we bought them and the UX is exactly the same - what was it about the UX that went down hill?

Don’t forget “it’s too complicated”

Funny how there was no rage when Lucy Letby was found guilty or that guy who very recently murdered the mother and daughters with a crossbow.

Probably because it’s a Crowdstrike issue, they’ve pushed a bad update.

No that’s new to me too, based off me searching the word and seeing the Wiki article on the toy. I’d seen the word because of one of the instances (blahaj zone), but I literally never see the word outside of Lemmy.
