I had one just moments before posting that comment, and I've noticed significantly more of them since you mentioned it a week or two back. Not sure if it's update related or not.
I know a bit about RealMe. As far as I know the service itself is not being phased out, and new government portals are still required to implement it. What gave you the impression it's being phased out?
I personally think RealMe is a poor customer experience. It's not the concept (which is good), but the execution.
@absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz I don't know if something changed but I'm seeing lots of cloudflare errors now, maybe after recent Lemmy updates? They seem to go away pretty quick.
I will see if I can set up multiple load balanced lemmy-UI containers and see if it helps. I know that's what some other instances do. But it will only help if it's the web app that's the issue.
I doubt it's enough to buy a 25000 euro house. And if you're talking about McDonald's in the US then I'm guessing not much is left over after food and rent in order to save the 25k.
Thanks for all the clarifications. I would support giving this a go! I think NZ would be a great test bed for major reforms in western democracies, if only we could convince people to give it a go.
If it's really a case of Chorus providing a map and they just have to run their database of customers against the Chorus data... then there is really no excuse.
The systems I've seen are very strict on recording every access, however, didn't enforce who could access. I guess without a culture of accountability, all that does is let you find all the privacy breaches once someone complains. You actually need the culture of audit and follow through to back it up. I may have implied it prevented privacy breaches, but it's probably fairer to say they have all the tools they need to take it seriously but that doesn't mean they do.
For emailing customers, it's not about their addresses but working out who is affected. Remember the ISPs don't run the internet lines (largely this is Chorus). This is assuming they even know what the issue is early enough to tell people. By the time they work out where the issue is it may only be 2 minutes until service is restored.
In terms if the marketplace thing, we don't actually have that much competition. Many of the medium sized companies are owned by one of the three big telcos.
Yes, but not just that. Opening a document in Word is for the writer.
A pet peeve of mine is when I'm sent a user guide as a Word document complete with squiggly lines under the words it doesn't know.
Even worse is when a colleague sends a document like that to a customer.
PDF is a published file format, I find it hard to imagine a world where you could convince me downloading the user manual for my motherboard or downloading Lego assembly instructions should come as a word document.
I bet this person thinks all raster images should be bitmaps. Sorry maybe that was too harsh.
Interestingly many of the old WINZ systems are quite strict on this. I believe they are replacing their 90s system with a new one in a project happening now so it will be interesting to see if they make big improvements.
I didn't get sucked down much of a rabbit hole but it did lead me to checking out a lot of different songs by The Northern Boys. So hilarious, I don't know how feddit.uk can top it this year but I hope they do 😆
Most likely - I'll just rest here on this rock, woooah, oh shit oh shit oh shit what's happening 😱
…maybe it is an explorer. I wish octopuses were able to communicate more knowledge intergenerationally. It feels like they don’t currently get the most out of their intellects.
Maybe they do! Maybe this octopus is shark riding just like it's grandparents taught it, in order to get to the more fertile feeding grounds for the winter, using the routes passed down from generation to generation.
