Processes that deal with people should be people processes. By which I mean they should be imbued with common sense, capable of empathy, willing to compromise and neither condescend nor patronise.
@allie__voss In Australia you can still go anywhere in the domestic terminal and you don’t need a boarding pass to clear security. But you can’t go to an international gate and never could.
@allie__voss It’s not just because of security but also because USA unusually has no outbound immigration. In other countries, even if there was no security you’d be unable to go to the gate for an international flight without a ticket and passport.
@MamaCranky@taipan168 They don't make routine airport or terminal-wide announcements. They certainly make gate announcements, and so good microphone technique is still important.
@Nirgal451 You have two buckets that each hold 10L. Into the first bucket you add 10L of water. The bucket is now full.
The second bucket has a hole that leaks 1L/minute. You fill it at 2L/minute. After 10 minutes, this bucket is also full.
The net amount of water you have is 20L.
@NatashaTheRobot “Designed by Apple in California” — I remember trying to use iCloud file/photo syncing in on crappy Australian internet in the late 2010s and it would just fail silently, give up or otherwise refuse to work properly. Just an assumption that wifi was fast and reliable.
@MinjuFox@ChozangNoyb@razibkhan So that’s the irony. If the parents/grandparents mother tongue is Hokkien etc and the kids are being taught Mandarin at school, the language spoken at home will be neither. English becomes the default.
