A lot of car parks are becoming like this. It’s especially frustrating when you try to download the app but you have no signal and there’s no other way to pay.

And it’s a behaviour that stems from the admins who’ll ban users from the entire instance if they disagree with their opinions.

It’s the only instance I have blocked at my account level so I don’t see their communties.

They won’t care or won’t even notice these things. They’ll open their laptop, book a holday or find some new car insurance or write a report of whatever and not even think about what the OS does. Unless they’re someone who is already extremely sensitive over privacy of their data, you’re not going to convice the average Windows user to switch to Linux.

When I was younger I used to use Ubuntu as my main OS for years, tried Arch for a bit - then went back to Windows. I haven’t got the time or energy to be fucking about with things like that anymore.

Windows is for people who’s life or personality doesn’t reolve around their computer. It’s just a tool to get things done and that’s it.

I suspect most BMW owners won’t care too much. Like they’ll find it annoying but still buy/lease the car anyway.

(perfectly working) android phone that I had had for 6 years. The phone brand was not providing android updates for it.

I get it through from the banks perspective. The OS is no longer getting security updates, so this is a fault of the phone manufacter for not having a long term commitment to security and OS updates.

And the app itself required a code that I could only get by SMS.

Yeah this is pretty bad.

And I will be stuck with them for decades.

Why’s that? I have my mortage through one bank but literally never use the actual services of the bank, I’ve never called them or used their app or logged into the site. My current account and savings accounts are with another bank separate to my mortage provider.

Also, won’t you be able to change when you come to re-mortgage if another bank offers a better deal?

My 1st & 2nd gen Chromecasts are working just as good as was the day we bought them and the UX is exactly the same - what was it about the UX that went down hill?

Don’t forget “it’s too complicated”

Probably because it’s a Crowdstrike issue, they’ve pushed a bad update.

No that’s new to me too, based off me searching the word and seeing the Wiki article on the toy. I’d seen the word because of one of the instances (blahaj zone), but I literally never see the word outside of Lemmy.

TIL blahaj refers to a soft toy shark sold by IKEA.

Weirdly, it’s 5 in the UK. But you can’t buy it until you’re 18.

This is udderly ridiculous

You’ve just described the UK.

People get really weird about this, they act like you MUST cycle and train it everywhere and anything is just an excuse.

Yet.

The joke isn’t the program itself, it’s the process of deploying a website to servers.

Of course it was lol. Rule 1 apparently - “Be civil and nice”. I literally linked to an achived blog post, how was I being uncivil?
