  • Agree it's probably bullshit, just a pattern. It only resonated with me because it seems to track with my sentiment, but I have little hope that it's about to get shit and get better.

    I do expect it to get more shit.

  • Look to be fair I am self employed and always have been, but even so, today I don't feel like going to work at all, I am totally exhausted. I am going though - because if I don't go, I won't have stock for the end of the week and customers come from a fair distance to see me, and if I don't have what they want they will be pissed, and my business will go to shit.

    We are all prisoners of work.

  • I lost my phone the other day. That sucks. But what really sucked is when I went and got a new Sim, chucked it in one of my old shitty phones, and then activated the new Sim with my company as a replacement, those motheruckers took 4 whole days to activate my new Sim.

    It said it would only take 1-3 hours.

    I had days wasted on the line with them, I knew they didn't transfer it correctly and they just kept saying "please wait longer". Like. What the fuck is waiting more going to do.

    What was worse, is without access to SMS, I couldn't port out to a new provider, couldn't login to Facebook as backup messaging, couldn't transfer money from my bank. Every step of the way I was fucked by 2fa and my douchebag phone company could not give a single shit.

    Fuck you amaysim.

    As soon as it came good I ported away from them within the hour. I really opened up my eyes to how much we rely on SMS communication these days for auth.

  • I feel like you have Apple, Samsung, Pixel as the big 3 (in the western world)

    Then it's Xiaomi, OPPO (and it's subbrands), Motorola and maybe Nokia which are all just "cheaper alternatives" or as I think people think of them "android"

    Then you have your niche phones like fairphone etc.

    I see more tv ads for pixels than I do for galaxy phones.

  • I like it, at first I thought "hmm. This breaks the rules of the no corporate ownership" but then realised that so long as there is transparency / a special co-op structure where they can be sure you only own the one property it's totally workable.
