I can't say for certain, but I believe @Citi must have just had a brief yet widespread internal network outage. Or at least it's a helluva coincidence that their live chat, transaction processing, and 2FA SMS were all down at the same time. Could've been me, but 🤷🏻‍♂️

When the human customer service is just as bad as the chatbot... (Nothing against the rep; I'm sure it's @Citi's absolutely stellar IT infrastructure that's the problem.)

I have a Threadripper Pro 5995WX 64-core CPU with 512GB RAM and a WD Black SN850X 4TB SSD. If @Adobe @Acrobat runs dogshit slow on my machine, how is it a viable product? Who ships this kinda shit? Don't understand how a fucking PDF editor is 2.54GB, either. Sorry, *was* 2.54GB

To be fair it said "*most* Residential customers", so I guess I've gotta tip my fedora to your weaseling.

Also, I have it on good authority that the first sentence in that paragraph is a lie. At least for me. And I'm assuming the email was specific to me, bc you operate on a capacity/demand pricing schedule, and surely not everyone is now paying $130. Right?

So.. you're about to do an IPO, and you're saying that you have achieved negative economy of scale on your internet business (and core raison d'etre for launches)? That's a bad look, but I guess diminishing Q2 rev on the prospectus would be a worse look? @SpaceX @elonmusk

To be clear, my only action on IMDb's site was opening a Google result for a movie and viewing that one page. I didn't post, didn't attempt to rate anything. No interaction on my end other than scrolling the page. And confirmed I do have an IMDb account now.

Wut? I just went to @IMDb using a browser that's logged into my @Amazon account, and received this email. Looks like I now have an IMDb account associated with my Amazon-linked email, which is something I never wanted nor signed up for. That's a sketchy way to sign up users.

@JoshStrifeHayes @PArrowga I mean, to the guy's point, if it's a business then keep the business and personal socials/opinions separate. No one expects Josh Strife Hayes to be merely a YT funnyman, but they do expect it from Josh Strife Hayes™. For better or worse, that's the game.

@PArrowga When you are a full time youtuber, i will seek your advice on youtube. Posting videos which dont do well, like update videos, lowers the average viewcount and thus harms sponsorship offers, also often causes people to unsubscribe. This is a business, not just a hobby.

Adobe is a real piece of shit. In many ways. In this case, they snuck their PDF extension onto my instance of @brave. Not even sure when or how; I just know I didn't do it. Fortunately they hailed their own accomplishment with a pop-up tab, or I might not have noticed.

I always feel a little bit bad for the server when it has this much uptime. You did so well for so long, little guy, but it's time to go..

Also, it's not really groups 1 - 8, is it? You stuck an unnumbered group smack in the middle of that list. Are you OK?

@JoshStrifeHayes Everyone's in their own personal echo or rage chamber nowadays, so this poll will prove nothing. On top of that, I picked "leans right" because there's no other way to see the results.. even though I honestly don't have an answer.

Dangerous question time ⚠️ Do you find 'gaming' culture, in general, leans more to the right or left wing, ideologically. Not, which way do YOU lean, but based on your time in the hobby, which side do you seem to encounter more often.

Total dick move that @UberEats gives the updated ToS agreement consent between the tip screen and the order finalized screen. When you're hungry, already composed a full order, and the restaurant is closing: Here, read this 500-page legal document. Not even a summary of ToS change bullet points. Just "fuck you, go hungry if you want to figure this shit out". This kind of nonsense should be illegal, and probably would be if the @FTC wasn't an impotent shell of dried fecal matter in current times.

That last @UPS rant was me trying to put a vacation hold on my address. But their web/system design continues to amaze, in that the vacation hold is still active despite having ended about 4 months ago. It's not a big deal as I can cancel it and create a new one. But why it doesn't self-cancel is the weird part.

Also, couple of really irritating design decisions on @UPS's site when it is working: 1) When logging in from a fresh browser (bc I did try more than one), this cookie popover appears after a couple of seconds. For some GODFORSAKEN REASON it steals focus away from the user/pw textboxes, and interrupts typing. Yeah, everyone knows everyone uses cookies. STFU and only show that in Europe where annoying nanny state red tape is like cocaine. 2) This chat window pops up all on its own, and is a 3-click process to close. Yes, I'm sure I want to close it. I didn't open it in the first place. Are you sure YOU want to close it, you clingy asshole?

The @UPS site is barely loading, timing out, getting server-side errors, and not able to fetch tracking info when neither of the other 2 problems are occurring. (@FedEx works fine, so I doubt it's my internet connection before you ask.)

So you also can't drag and drop files into iCloud Drive in the web interface? Do your devs have actual mental issues, or is the Steve "Perfect Godlike Avatar" Jobs still around with his hype marketing energy telling people "don't make it easy for users unless they're on an Apple device using Apple software with an Apple $ubscription and Apple's Meta Cock (NO BUTTONS ALLOWED ON THE ELEVATORS OR THE META COCK THEY CONFUSE OUR IMCOMPETENT USERS) deep in the back of their mouths"?

Yeah, but I need to open a PDF now. Not "a few minutes" from now. I just opened a PDF a minute ago; you're really gonna schedule an update when the computer isn't idle? @adobe(shit)
