i was able to bookmark a different page that's usable but that's a pretty ick change on that page now. and going to manually select the ones to show doesn't give you the power to say "none, please".

[Russell Norris @rsl]

so how the heck do i hide this "Popular repositories" taking up the whole screen in github now for my work organization? it's pushed all the repos below the fold pretty much. on a 27inch iMac!

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@DeplorableReb @AngryInAGoodWay @LeaderMcConnell no you just like the smell of your farts, sorry

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@YouTube apparently only chrome lets you disable it now [web browsers] funny almost like your shared google ownership is pushing you to only support that. interesting.

[Russell Norris @rsl]

hey @youtube why'd you disable my ability to disable autoplay?

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@Instacart i cannot magically chat when your app won't let me

[Russell Norris @rsl]

dammit @Instacart once again you tell me i can add something to cart after purchasing only to instantly shunt me into "order in progress". no shopper, no way to leave comment to add something [which shoppers are always fine with doing].

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@Instacart then allow me to. your ui is showing order "received" not "in progress". cannot message shopper. but the ui insists "[name] is shopping your order"

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@Grubhub do you no longer offer contact free option?! why is this delivery person knocking and knocking and knocking and knocking

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@Instacart wasn't asking about a specific order but a general ux problem you have by almost immediately forcing orders into a pseudo "in progress" state as i laid out

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@Instacart please stop auto-assigning a shopper who isn't really attached to the order and customer cannot add text message or order changes! this is a little infuriating when you immediately do this after finishing order but say "add things to order" then prohibit!

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@Instacart sure hope i get to ask for an onion i forgot :/

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@Instacart this state can last for 10 minutes, meaning if i need an edit, i have to wait around and keep refreshing because if the shopper has no problems, the shop can complete without interaction between us

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@GrandAhlu notice how the tribune correctly used the right twitter name, idiot

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@nuclearkrishna is one of them checking who you're tweeting at?

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@Instacart heh yeah something's definitely getting lost. i suspect it's safari's aggressive cookie policy which imo ends up hurting users a lot. so many things i have to login constantly.

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@instacart notice that the tip for the work seems to not persist between orders. not loving this as i've accidentally undertipped [for my standards] people working hard to provide essential services in this horrible time. can someone look into this?

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@Instacart if i want to set my default to something higher... that makes sense as something that can and should persist. i'm a software developer. are you saying this is not possible on your platform? that every single order i have to manually review tip because you assume your users don't?

[Russell Norris @rsl]

refreshing page to see if i can chat to manually ask them to get the milk... nope

[Russell Norris @rsl]

@Instacart hey, there's almost never a break between hitting complete on an order and someone [who is almost never the final shopper] shopping the order. this prevents adding things to the order. seems like something in the flow isn't optimal.

[Russell Norris @rsl]

just placed order 3 minutes ago. immediately [in the middle of my trying to add item i forgot] went to shopper 1 then shopper 2. no way to contact them [because they're not REALLY shopping yet, just assigned to shop]. this isn't great. love y'all though but flow is weird.
