In the trash with you.

Most accessibility options are already baked into the OS. There should be no need to configure anything related inside the App. You'd have to implement responsive design though, which is not only an accessibility problem but should be common sense by now.

Pretty nice of them to change business practices for you in that moment.

It'd be great if they had a non data-harvesting subsidized pricing tier.

I blast that shit in their reviews.

I agree with it being terrible practice to be online only. But nothing is forcing you to use their services they are providing. Just go elsewhere, instead of making the employees lives harder. They are just trying to do their job. They probably have to put up with that sort of thing every day. (I'm not having a go at you personally, I never said you did anything wrong, just a rant to other readers who might be a dick to their local customer-facing workers lol).

And they can request location info and other things, and most people just click Allow.

And the apps can report your phone's sensor info back to their servers so they can build a profile on you to sell to data brokers.

Can track you and see more invasive details from your device that way, more than just cookies.

Things generally want to keep you engaged - and a native mobile app, even if otherwise functionally the same as a webpage, has somewhat more of a chance to get you to accept push notifications to spam you.

Yeah, I tried the same many years ago. Problem was that I had a super tiny car in a big city where everyone speeds all the time, so it never gave me a discount because I was always speeding and breaking harshly.

How can I be a smooth driver when no one else is? It also dinged me for driving at night when I was doing a volunteer job in the evening while my day job was WFH. Such BS.

I mean it uses location and acceleration info for driving habits. What did you expect?

I went to a dentist's office that promoted how easy it was to schedule a appointment and manage your records on their app.

I usually am much more polite but I flipped and said, "I don't want a app for that!" And scared the front desk staff.

Whereas my child's doctor appointments and records are only available via app and don't have a website. And the app is no longer supported on my phone OS so I have to run the previous version. I hate this.

Unfortunately there's way too much of these leeches who charge for stuff that is otherwise free, then use spammy SEO techniques to bury the free options.

As for QR code generation, DuckDuckGo has a built-in generator that's always worked for me. For example: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qr+Visit+Lemmy.World+-%3E+https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world

Probably not useful in your case, but:

apt install qrencode
qrencode -t svg -o example.svg https://example.com/

Can you use a snipping tool or screenshot that shit? Otherwise, throwaway email lol.

Duckduckgo is pretty convenient for quickly generating qr codes. You just type qr followed by its contents into the search box and you get a qr as result.

Theres a dark pattern where a service makes you fill out a form, choose your actions, get to 95% done and then hits you with a Credit card request, assuming you already made it this far.

Who are they fooling?

I love it because he reminds me of an old friend I had who was a very pragmatic person and often just threw his hands up and moved on when shit got dramatic.

I'm finding it funny because around here most cars are manual, and when I got my driver's licence I was strongly warned that looking back instead of using the mirrors would be immediate failure.

Noted. Context?
