…and that’s the point of the /s, as you never know who your audience is and/or you don’t want to be taken seriously as you’ve so done with the people downvoting you.

I’ve had them for a few years as well because their coverage is rock solid.

However their backend is a serious wreck. I had an Apple Watch for about a year but it never worked due to janky NumberSync. I went through it over and over with customer service but the watch never had cellular service longer than a few hours; never had crazy problems like this on other networks.

I found out recently that for about the past six months all incoming calls went to voicemail with no indication whatsoever the calls were coming through (no ring, no missed call notification).

And at one point I had to completely pay off a device just to port a number in to replace the existing number. Apparently their database is so fucked that they use the number as the database primary key.

On AT&T, you have to put in work to keep your devices on network.

I’ve no clue what you’re on about

I truly hope that I don't need to put a /s on here.

You did need to though because there are probably people who think this.

Generally when telling a joke out loud it’s obvious it’s a joke based on the speaker’s tone and other factors.

With text-based communication it’s much more difficult to do the same without resorting to /s, Emoji or some other signal.

Stole some clothes from Hot Topic; had to remove the ink tags later by hand. I skipped school with my crush at the time and it was a rush.

When I was a kid we had a Compaq Presario 9500 that came preinstalled with voicemail software that supported having multiple voicemail boxes with speech recognition (c. 1995).

I really thought that was going to be the future and wanted my parents to use it so bad at the time. 😅

I miss spaghetti but I’ll never eat it in public. Yeah I know all the ways you can do it without looking like a slob, but I don’t want to still be scooping around that shit 40 minutes after everyone else finished eating.

This is the most Michael Scott thing I’ve ever heard of. Imagine being this self-centered here in the real world.

Right, but if you’re telling the software to encode a file as UTF-8 maybe the software should actually encode it as UTF-8.

Oh don’t get me started on SQL Server either. That’s the most maintenance-heavy, hands on approach I’ve ever seen. “Do one thing and do it well” doesn’t apply, you’ve got to manage every dumb knob that shouldn’t matter to you as an end-user.

Yet as a developer I’m expected to deal with crazy stuff like ASCII, weird encoding standards for email, Punycode, etc. but MySQL developers couldn’t figure out how to encode characters properly while dumping the database?
