  • Where I live there is a holiday where basically the city empties. It’s kind of eerie how empty it gets.

    Just after 2-3 days, there is 0 smog when you look towards distant parts of the city. It’s strange how clearly you can see all of the buildings.

    Cars really dirty up the air.

  • One of the problems with removing people from the equation is that there is no way to escalate an issue. I’m guessing it’s by design.

    An example of this is the food delivery app in the country where I live. One time a delivery person said the restaurant was closed. The app said it was open but it was a holiday. Neither of us could cancel the order or contact a person to allow the cancelation.

    Another instance, a delivery rider had a problem with their bike and asked me to cancel the order, when I told her I could not, she told me to call the restaurant to cancel it.

    I don’t think she really had a problem with her bike, but I couldn’t chat with anyone who worked at the app to resolve the issue. She eventually delivered it. I think she just didn’t want to wait for the food to be ready since it wasn’t fast food. I ended up ordering from a different place, and ended up with 2 dinners.

  • I read somewhere a long time ago, that eventually the economy will cater to the ultra rich and the lower income class, will still get products, but much lower end stuff or stuff made from the leftovers from the ultra rich.

    One example that was given was a game with pay to win mechanics. Most people can play the game and grind away, but the real experience of the game can only be played by people who spend $500 on extra stuff.

  • Their reasons for not opening the App Store aren’t even good logical reasons like it would make the platform unsafe but then they claim the Mac is a safe platform. That’s what makes it so insulting.

    I’d be less frustrated with them if they were just honest and said it’s about the money.
