I still love tech but only because I realize that it can actually empower us. The dark patterns that corporations use (for me personally and especially when it comes to customer service) are what ruin it, but maybe I’m still naïve.

Not super grim, but I worked in a hot warehouse unpacking cheap clothing from China, repacking it and watching the owners turn around and sell it on Groupon for a huge profit. Sometimes their family members would stop by in brand new Mercedes, BMW and other high-end luxury cars.
The others and myself were all promised better jobs like product photographer, website designer, etc. I only lasted there one week.
Yeah, I couldn’t get past this. The turquoise was neither blue nor green but you’re forced to select one or the other.
One of my chihuahuas does this too but doesn’t sneeze.
I actually still crack up whenever I see unhinged.
Mine is till
instead of ’til
to mean until
and a
in “two times a year” instead of per
. I still say “two times a year” myself but when writing it looks so unprofessional and I always notice it in news publications.
I don’t why but the fact this is on YouTube seems hypocritical but I can’t put my finger on it.
Not sure if you’re talking about me but if so, touché because I definitely don’t believe that but now I look like a hypocrite. 😂
Who even has this kind of time? Get a life
It’s been ages for me but I vaguely remember something whacky like this happening but can’t recall specifics. Something about blocking specific scripts causing crazy rendering problems and yeah, something with inputs acting janky too.
Gee, I wonder why Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection breaks the site. 🤔
For me in the US a ton of sites break simply by using a VPN exiting in Europe. If they’re too lazy to comply with EU privacy laws I take that as a sign it’s not worth my time, so I’d likely do the same with this.
Same goes if my “ad blocker” (DNS blocking) isn’t “compatible” or I can’t log in because due to an oftentimes hidden Google recaptcha: no thanks, I’ll take my business elsewhere.
In my case Ruby was my next step. I tried to learn Python later on but it always felt like a step back. Unfortunately Python is much more popular though for some reason so YMMV.
