@IrishTimesBiz “Seems cumbersome but it is what it is.” This is not a helpful comment as it excuses the bank of offering a poor service. There are many ways AIB can offer mobile payments while protecting against fraud, they just choose the option that is infuriating to use.

"And when they fall in love with that fantasy, they’re afraid to test it. Because they’ve had this idea in their head for years sometimes. And the problem is, as soon as you test it, you might find out well, you’ll probably find out, it wasn’t a good idea" https://t.co/Is8j9pEUZU

“What the pandemic showed is we can take marketing down to zero and still have 95% of the same traffic as the year before. So we’re not going to forget that lesson.”

@eflow_freeflow you’ve sent me a suspension email but you website is broken and unable to update my credit card. Tried multiple times on multiple devices. How can we resolve quickly?

[Andrew Wilkinson @PlasticWilko]

@eircare you are trying to bill me a breakage fee even though you had extended my grace period and now I can't call you as my account number is no longer valid. How do I contact you?

"People use Google because they choose to, not because they're forced to, or because they can't find alternatives", lol. If people are so choosing Google of their own volition, why would they need to pay Apple ~$8-10 BILLION every year??

I saw a post on LinkedIn that recommended adding an emoji at the beginning of your name because you could see who was using some sort of automation tool to send out connection requests.

I can now confirm it works.

I have equity in Facebook, so like any shareholder I get periodic notifications about shareholder proposals.

The list of what the Facebook Board wants folks to vote against this time around is quite telling.

Do you know of a tech company that’s asking people who could work from home to come to the office? Reply to this thread, so we can track these irresponsible organizations, and remember their names even after this is over.

Why do you need a scan of my ID? You don’t have it today. Requesting a “right to be forgotten” GDPR request, should not be this difficult. @ingenico

So my account is stuck in your system and “I” need to cancel and reorder. This can only be done via your call centre, which is only open during work hours. How is this deemed as adequate customer service?

[Andrew Wilkinson @PlasticWilko]

@eir what is with your service? I moved to you 10 days ago. WiFi keeps dropping, my myeir acc is still not set up. I have no access to the rugby and your phone lines appear always to be closed. @eircare pull your finger out or I’m going to go back to virgin.

Merry Christmas, internet.

Absent sweeping reform, this is the whole world in ten years. Remember: both parties in the US defend mass surveillance programs. China's "advantage" here is not technological, but that there's no strong civil opposition to slow the descent into nightmare. https://t.co/uhcrcRpMLL

1. How is The Daily Wire, the toxic right-wing site founded by pundit Ben Shapiro, more successful on Facebook than any other major publication?

It breaks the rules.

And Facebook is going to continue to let them do it.

Users with iOS13 are about to be rightfully disgusted by how often Facebook spies on their location, so here’s a desperate shit sandwich from the company to excuse the gluttonous tracking.
