@voicepacks Wanted the ED Astra2 pack, saw the 10 d/l limit. Not like the limit or extra charge are big deal but, seriously? Developing software in the 90s? Bandwidth limit not a thing anymore and there're more polite ways to throttle overloads. Pass. @VoiceAttack #EliteDangerous

@MixedInKey Got my shiny new M1 Macbook Pro and it was disappointing to find out that Captain Plugins still don't work natively. Running Logic Pro under Rosetta just for the plugins is not a very good solution. Any plans and ETA for native M1 support?

@gcntweet Wanted to watch some #TDF, subscribed to GCN+, downloaded the app on my iPad and... feels like 2011 again. iPhone only app? Still? Really?! #fail

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@MTG_Arena Oh, I see. You're using the "reverse agile model" for your software development methodology - started with the best possible version you could deliver and incrementally adding bugs and performance issues with each patch. Alpha version any day now? #mtg #mtga

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@MTG_Arena State of the Game? Where? You're really mastering the art of saying basically nothing with as many words as possible. Mobile client? Performance? Historic Brawl? Needed UI improvements? Nope, here are some new emotes and a bunch of more ways to spend money #MTG #MTGA #mtg_arena

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@LastPass Just wasted 15 minutes going through every possibly settings trying to disable the pointless "change your password" reminder only to discover there isn't any. Don't you think I should be allowed to tell your software to stop nagging me? #fail

@CreativeMarket Wanted to buy a $8 font using Paypal. But no, Paypal is only available for buying bulk store credit. Is this just incompetence or do you actively try to turn down potential customers? #fail

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@MTG_Arena What have you done to card borders? This is so unpleasant to the eye.

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@MTG_Arena Will you ever really fix the "checking for updates" issue? How hard can it really be to fix it? Waiting forever for arena to start every other day is not fun. #MTGArena

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@MTG_Arena So, A recap of the MTG Arena AMAA: “Some things are coming some time later this year, maybe. If not, they are coming some time after that. Maybe, we'll see”. No new or meaningful information whatsoever. Why even bother? #mtg #mtgarena

@Dropbox @DropboxSupport Recent symlink change disrupts legitimate workflows and makes Dropbox far less useful. Suggested “solution” moving everything under “dropbox” folder is not acceptable. Any plans to introduce a real alternative or should I be shopping for a new service?

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@wunderground I wish more app developers realize that providing bad user experience by slapping annoying ads all over doesn’t make users run to pay money to remove them, it makes them go find an app with better UI/UX.

Anyway, terrible redesign. Time to find a new weather app.

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@AaronGertler Hey, just wanted to say thanks for your Temur Adventure deck. It's the most fun I had in MTG so far (though I'm still learning it). Especially the detailed description, strategy, tips and updates. Would love to see more streams/videos of you playing it. Great stuff.

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

So apparently, we are allowed to only one fun day a week? Rest of the time we can have our choice of either repeatedly getting turned into elks or getting milled by Secretkeepers? Give us permanent brawl! @MTG_Arena @Wizards #mtg #MTGArena

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@Twitch 30 seconds ads without the ability to skip, EVERY TIME I view a stream!? And to make it more annoying, just play the same ad over and over? Seriously? Are you actively trying to drive users away from your platform? #twitch #fail

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@Twitch What's wrong with your ad service lately? I get the same obnoxious ad on EVERY stream I start watching. I understand the need to monetize but this makes using twitch so annoying. @TwitchSupport

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

Clicking "unsubscribe" from @Newegg spam, got this message. 3 days to update? Seriously?! What, are you sending little gnomes all the way to the distant database server to manually punch those 0s & 1s? Sheesh... it's 2019, the internet, it's all digital these days I hear. #fail

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

Thank you @Apple, now instead of doing actual work I'm wasting hours trying to setup and troubleshoot your ridiculous implementation of two factor authentication that you shoved down my throat. I didn't ask for it nor do I want or need it. How typical of #Apple. @AppleSupport

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@downcastapp @podbean Update: now it doesn't change the feed's URL but on occasion, Downcast just removes these feeds completely without warning or trace. I'm not sure which app does this, Mac or iOS, as I have them synced.

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@downcastapp Is there still support for this app? Tried emailing you couple of times, never got any response.

[Daniel V @daniel_v]

@downcastapp @podbean Great. Thanks for the fix and update.
