I find this very annoying for groceries. My answer would always be no. But they installed this stupid system where your shopping cart wheels will randomly lock up as you’re walking out the door and the security person has to come unlock them, and it’s a pain if you don’t have a receipt.
So now I always press yes just in case I lose cart roulette…
I’d guess it’s corporate circlejerk - they probably made deals with hardware manufacturers who are annoyed people are not replacing their perfectly functional systems with new ones. Windows gets pre-installed on new systems, and in exchange windows requires new things forcing people to upgrade their old systems - or be locked out of the most popular OS in the world.
This is what you get when someone asks the question “how can we make the bathroom not only inaccessible to disabled people, but also a means to create more disabled people”?
And they really nailed the answer.
I wish this existed but for avoiding having to sit near children.
So this means every user who contributes posts and comments on a paid subreddit will get a cut from the subscribtion revenue right? Right…?
So untrue, an LLM is way more apologetic when it messes up…
Imagine if it got told the API pricing idea is stupid and it just went “you’re right, my bad” immediately. We’d probably be having this conversation on Reddit.
I like to think the behind the scenes is just a decades long game of dare in Mozilla’s leadership that slowly got out of control but they’ve all gotten too deep in it now to give up and just call it a tie.
Boeing engineers are advocating for flying Starliner as is, that enough is known about the problem that failures will not occur during the vehicle’s return to Earth.
Yea honestly those engineers should go and fly on Starliner themselves first. They could even replicate the issue on the ground, and yet it’s still unknown what’s causing it but they feel comfortable to just say “nah it’s fine”?
I wonder how the astronauts feel about getting back on it to return…
Not OP but some stores have these hyper-sensitive scales you put your bag/scanned items on. They can be super annoying as tiny differences in the weight will lock up the entire thing and you need someone to unlock it again. E.g. if you didn’t start with all your bags already on it and you try to add a new bag. Or the area is full and you want to remove and already full bag. Or you nudged something with your leg while scanning the next item.
The best thing is grocery stores where they have handheld scanners you can take with you in the store, you scan the item as you put it into your bag and on the way out you just scan the code on the self-service checkout and pay. Least effort possible, plus the scanner doesn’t have the “oh a speck of dust landed on the scales… obviously this means he’s trying to steal shit” issue.
Just a warning: the photo part of proton drive is incredibly basic to be generous and even that doesn’t seem to work smoothly (on android). Just to handpick 2 very annoying things aside from lack of features: opening a picture that’s locally on your phone takes 1-2 seconds, and when you back out it has to refresh the gallery view every time, which also takes 1-2 seconds - incredibly annoying while looking for the correct picture.
I use it as a second type of backup for my photos, but I definitely couldn’t live with the UX the app provides. IMO the drive part in general is very lacking.
I’m still happy with my proton subscription for mail and VPN, but I’d suggest you trial the drive part before committing to it (unless you already know it’s ok for your needs, in which case great!).
It used to be an open source project, then at some point the developers moved it to closed source. In reaction to this, a couple of people forked the last open source version of emby and launched it as an open source project (again) named jellyfin.
It is still open source and under active development, and has a significant userbase. Especially on Lemmy I think it’s much preferred by people to emby (or at least more vocally supported).
I have no experience with this, but happened to have seen an interview with Ludwig Minelli, the founder of Dignitas (an organisation for assisted death). The man is 90+ and still fighting for this right. I believe I saw it in a video format, but I think this was the interview - I think it’s worth a read.
I’d suggest you look up the contact for the various organisations and reach out with your situation and questions to see what they say. They’re likely to be much better sources of information.
Considering how conflicts between other neighbouring countries around the world are going, loudspeakers and trash balloons seem like pretty great choices.
Thank you for the information! I kind of suspected it’d be like that tbh,
Out of curiosity, how much of the internet is unusable with js disabled? As in, how often do you run into sites that are essentially non-functional without?
I just hope that 1 IP they’re so bent over turns out to be a CGNAT IP.
English is actually my second language - so thank you!
