I don't think I'd feel "attacked" but more impressed that I came to light if they sent me them very much like a naughty "copyright warning" and would send it back with a brick in it.

Cheers!

I regularly get letters from the power company about how I'm using like 3x the power of the average person in my type of unit.

I'm also using a lot of self hosted things but have never received any of those.

Where do you reside generally where they're sending them because it ain't a thing here in the UK?

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 1 points 5 months ago

Really appreciated, and you use either of these?

I am finding it difficult to find a reliable Cloud service

I'll tell ya what I have issue with.

Tailscale allows me and others to access our own locally hosted storage but requires a SSO provider. Currently using Google and Github I ain't too confident with that and would love others thoughts on how to self host it?

It was the sheer arrogance of that "supervisor" I escalated it to and I hate to think how someone like a pensioner would've dealt with them that day wanting to access their bank account, especially since all the local branches have been closed 👺

See that's the thing, I work far too hard and after a night shift and then getting onto a "customer support" agent reveals the cracks in our society.

Maybe you could work harder too!

Maybe I could try buying and scalping an iPhone on eBay

Like I say over in the comments on that post I had to literally switch bank accounts because of (ineptitude|poor pay) the customer service agents not being able to reset my password outside of using their "app" on an Android phone.

Curious if others have had similar issues.

I literally had to switch bank accounts because I couldn't reset my password "on the web" and required me to use Virgin Money's app.

Customer service agent(s) on the phone after prolonged discussions why their app wouldn't work on three Android phones right in front of me surfaced, and I shit you not

Well sir, I have my iPhone here and can login just fine maybe you should buy one of those instead

That day I found out about this

Aye!

I think one of the most concerning things for me thou recently is Google Play just chucking off dev's apps from the Store because they don't update them at a rate of knots / some arbitrary thing that hasn't been disclosed to devs or left in a puddle of legalese in the TOS :/

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 10 points 5 months ago

I've too noticed the very same thing even over in the piracy community where they're complaining about the use of AI art for banner / post images.

It's kinda one of those irrational hates when like you guys say it's an insta downvote for the content.

So yeah, upvoted (after reading the fucking ~~article~~ content)

I think your concerns about lack of updates is something while it worries some, I find it nice when updates are released only when it's stable.

If you check the devs history they reviewed a pull on KISS launcher itself back in Nov

https://github.com/Neamar/KISS/pull/2345#issuecomment-2496214318

and I like slow burner builds and especially when the devs make the app for themselves to use like this one ;)
