I stopped reading about half-way through, people only write fiction books like this. 99.99% chance this is a shitpost.
I can understand logistical difficulties and delays, but if you give people a day and hours to vote you absolutely have to give your best to meet those hours. Fly people out to the area and stay until the job is done. Leaving early as mentioned here is shameful:
When word spread that the voting station was closing at 2.30 p.m., she and others rushed to the polling booth, but she was too late.
"I could hear their airplane starting in the background," she said. "Today, I lost my legal right to vote.
And I don't even know what to say about not setting up at all, if true:
In Ivujivik, Mayor Adamie Kalingo said Elections Canada staff didn't even set up a station in his community before they left.
…
They eventually did around midday, but after a toilet stop, they took off again.
Having advanced days and mail-in voting is all well and good, but you can't tell people that X day is election day and then have no method for them to vote.
"We’ve spent two years requiring our apps from the ground up to boost our development speed, which should enable us to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms,"
... "and that's why we're deleting a bunch of features never to bring them back. Because we're just so efficient!" Crazy how many companies use this awful excuse.
Also is that a misquote by the author or did they really write "requiring"?
Glad that he eventually got it fixed.
Fortunately, Lifeward eventually capitulated and Straight was able to get his exoskeleton repaired — but that was only after an intense campaign
Still, these are the issues that make me question why anyone is excited for products like brain implants. The longer we can go without commercialised body modifications, the better.
Android worse every year? How? Every update I've received (on a Samsung, mind you) has made my experience better.
Description from original poster:
Happened a year ago so we’re almost finished with construction.
My car was parked on the right side on the break in the concrete. He was going 45-50 mph and pushed it over 5-10ft of concrete, through a windstorm certified garage door, and into a filled garage.
If my car hadn’t been there he would’ve driven right into one of the front bedrooms.
Had the pictures pop up in my memories and decided to share the crazy experience!
The problem is rather the opposite of the meme. The file format is fine, but there is so little effort into making it happen.
If we were trying then I should be able to upload webp images everywhere. The most egregious is websites that will convert jpg and png uploads to webp but don't allow webp upload.
I don't think this happens much in real life, I would assume most people use contacts. Though it is a commonly used format for fake text messages meant as memes.
I have used Windows for a decade now and keep using it because my workflows and the application support are there. But as someone that uses Linux on my server, has tried out Linux desktops, and uses WSL, I can confidently say that I am gone if they start charging me a subscription. It will be annoying as hell but just like leaving Reddit I am willing to give up some niceties to keep my money and my morals.
Videos. Viewing your up/downvotes. Profile posts.
Not a feature of Reddit, but I also miss RES features: user tagging, seeing my votes on a user next to their name, advanced post filtering, and more.
A lot of Lemmy communities need rules against misleading/editorialised headlines already, it's as bad or worse than Reddit right now.
This response would have been... fine, if not for Madison's accusations. Now we wait to see if they make a part 2 I guess.
Too real :(
