PerogiBoi , 14 days ago to android in The Google Pay app is dead

Google isn’t interested in good UX, so they prioritize the next “new” internally to their staff. This is the end result. It’s why I switched from Android (and I was pretty huge fanboy in my teens haha) to iOS. Apples got its own issues but the user experience end to end is leagues ahead. Phones don’t innovate anymore so in the end I just want a solid pocket computer with a great camera.

PerogiBoi , 14 days ago to asklemmy in Simple question: Are you a nice person?

Absolutely not. I’m rude to people (just check my post history) and often passive aggressive. I have little patience for people and am often not in a good mood. I don’t help people much and don’t get any pleasure out of it. To me, there is always a 50/50 chance the next person I see/meet may try and hurt or kill me at any moment so I am always on the lookout.

So far, so good. But no, I would never classify me as a good person by any metric.

A lot of people hear the app is dead and assume they no longer can tap to pay and just stop doing it altogether. My mom’s like that.

I figured on my gaming and VR rig that I’d begrudgingly upgrade it to W11 when W10 stopped receiving security updates and support but at this point the recall feature (which will be used to train LLMs regardless of what Microsoft promises or guarantees) has ensured that I never install that kind of spyware as an operating system.

I’d rather spend forever troubleshooting and getting my Valve Index to work with Ubuntu than deal with a giant backdoor.

It most definitely is social media.

That’s just downright awful. I’m sorry you were assaulted by a waste of flesh.

PerogiBoi , 19 days ago to asklemmy in What are your thoughts about H5N1 "bird flu"? Are you doing anything to prepare? Think it's overblown?

My Facebook is hammered with articles about how it’s overblown and is being used by governments to silence you and bring on a new pandemic where they force you to wear masks and keep you locked inside your house. Something something 15 minute cities, the WEF, and a guy named Klaus.

Lots of people taking pictures holding chickens and other fowl to spite “the new plandemic” so chances are we’re gonna have another real one. Just based on the fact that people are purposefully trying to expose themselves to “get back at science”.

Without getting into traceable details, government science advisors often work with large universities so that’s where the connection is.

I found out that my dad had a secret girlfriend who was my age. A student of his. He also had a secret job, working as a consultant for Putin’s science advisor.

The controller was not ergonomic and designed for cool alien looks rather than actual accessibility or usability. That’s my beef with the controller.

That said as a kid I thought it was the absolute coolest thing.

I’m 29 in CA and just found out I am unable to have children. I hope my wife doesn’t leave me over this. She really really wants kids of her own.

No that’s an extremist take. I’ve been there many times, have family and friends there. They’re all horrified by the civillian casualties and are out protesting.
