It’s possible to read your entire web site and still have no clue what your company does.

Brilliant.

Not to mention it has a software license attached to it.

Fuck-capitalism but obey my rules plebs.

So cringe.

Ooooh I see it’s new trust and safety employee week at eBay.

Wait until PayPal bans them for life for the same thing using the exact same language. Fun times.

I dropped Firefox for brave because Firefox dropped support for massive amounts of simple power user features like RSS while claiming they were all “too hard to maintain”. Meanwhile they put massive amounts of time and effort into trying to be a chrome look-alike which adds zero value.

Use your smtp server for inbound only. I much prefer to let people with deeper pockets to maintain the outbound mess. Your domain provider probably provides just such an email server for its customers.

Just don’t do it. Run your own domain and inbound email server. It’s so cheap it basically costs nothing at this point.

Great for people already experts in navigating the ny transit system. A ux nightmare for anyone approaching it blind.

The only company I’ve ever seen take these requirement seriously is Transferwise. I have a very common last name and similarly common-ish business name and they had to have me say I wasn’t related to a bunch of politicians I’d never heard or nor associated with a bunch of similar companies.

This keyword stuff is no kind of protection for them, especially if their own reps are advising people to just circumvent the list, which itself probably is a TOS violation.

Wait until they ban you for life for a similarly random reason, then tell you “it cannot be appealed” lol.

Around here you see a lot of people with plastic stars they give out for “donating” to police organizations screwed onto the rear license plate.

It costs $349/yr to rent the magic number required to ship signed drivers for Windows. $99 seems pedestrian by comparison.

classics2 — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 07:46:13 +0000

And yet people would vomit blood being asked to pay $99 for an app.

Is it really so hard to spin up an aws machine with a plain old lamp stack to serve this kind of content? Its incredibly cheap and simple to do.
