Stop putting people on hold, period. We have the technology to just call back when they’re at or near the top of the queue. If they miss their call, maybe their number gets priority for an hour or something. Either way, when I get put on hold, I mostly fantasize about murdering whoever set up that system.

I can at least comprehend someone’s motivation to masturbate.

What is happening here, exactly?

I have tried to get on this “Usenet” a few times but to no success. The software was ass, and the instructions for it were worse.

Any handy guides, anyone??

But… Raptors didn’t have fur 🧐

It’s distributed so no single entity can take it down. Among many other possible benefits depending on architecture and infrastructure.

It’s far more complex than coins and NFTs. Blockchain is like a new internet. Coins and NFTs are like those shitty GIFs you used to see everywhere. Evocative of old internet, but not the internet itself.

UX-wise, having a standalone “app” you can open and CMD-tab to is superior to “which of these 50 fucking tabs I have open is that app I was using…”

But, Electron also wraps your “website” and provides APIs to OS-level stuff like the camera, files, etc. It’s really quite elegant and probably the way of the future. It will absolutely get more performant as it matures.

No, if you’re using high power for anything longer than like 20 seconds to nuke a coffee or something, you’re microwaving wrong.

Most things are 👌 3:00 @ Power Level 6 (60% on, 40% off)

Apple understands that trying to cut every corner to reduce cost is a recipe for garbage. More than that, they’re not afraid to spend what’s necessary to achieve better than “good”. I think they’re evil in other ways for sure, but I respect this about them. It shows in everything* they produce.

• Except for the butterfly keyboards…

Ah, the ol’ off-by-one-foot problem.

This is just an old-school rocker / bouncer, no? It looks like it’s meant to “float” the child like a one-sided sea-saw?

I guess if you pulled it all the way down and released, it could slightly yeet the child, but there are absolutely better contraptions if going for distance

Or if some airline out there isn’t absolutely dependent on it somewhere in the stack

But it’s “a colon any” 🧐

I enjoyed this very much 🙏

Do you know if it was a Dodge you dodged?

Compromise: “Insanely stupid”.

Y’know, we — as a group — are kind of stupid.

I’m not a dog scientist, but there’s pitbull in that dog.

Is the title not editable? The version I’m seeing on lemmy.world had me worried I was stroking out :/

Java was conjured, not born.
