@Erdayastronaut @thecyberfam You know, you don't need to defend yourself like this. You do you. Amplify the good. Ignore the bad. Any interaction with junk on sm just feeds the algo. That's why people post controversial stuff (obs), because in the last of clicks it pays the best

.@GarminUK your UX is t.e.r.r.i.b.l.e.

Connect sends me to ConnectIQ. IQ says update in Express (but doesn't say to what version). Express says nothing to update. Brand new quatix 7. Seriously questioning if it is worth keeping. Still can't use it.

. @waitrose it’s bizarre one can’t copy a shopping list made in a notes app and paste it into your app’s “Shopping list” feature. It would be so easy to implement and add clear and immediate UX value. I’m really surprised that your product manager/designer hasn’t done this

@eBay_UK , @dhlexpressuk @DHLGlobal has, again, not turned up to collect a parcel, and lied about “collection refused” or me not being in or some rubbish. The eBay app isn’t letting me change courier, or cancel the order so I can refund the buyer. I’m stuck.

@spicyliltoaster I guess it's like the artisan shoe makers, potters, sign painters, and everything that got replaced by machines in the last wave of new tech. Some jobs will reduce, others will arrive, and people will pay more for the human made version, because it has soul.

Here's an issue that after a decade or more @gmail still haven't solve - the junk "attachments" that gather from people's footers.

When for an attachment in Gmail I want the actual, valuable-to-me, items , not social media icons ad infinitum.

Does @heyhey address this?

@andyp363 @EERandomness @caviterginsoy @DJSnM The liability arguement means harm can be budgeted for. Harm someone and liability costs $10,000,000? That's pennies in rocketry. That also assume the harmer will be held liable; harder to do across borders - something rockets cross multiple times an hour.

@SpaceX sooo frustrating that I can't go back to watch the start while the live stream is happening. go back to youtube pls

@taylorotwell forHumans could be localised (for example in India they have lakh, crore etc rather than million, billion) and I reckon currency should take an integer, as that is how it would be stored in the database.

@magadum_aniket No, it's not useful. Never seen it, even in the APIs I've worked on with strict security requirements (such as government defence agencies)
