My bank apps all work (though YMMV.) Ticket app worked (AXS.) I haven't actually used google pay or google wallet for anything to know if they work.

Authy is the only miss I've found and it wouldn't have mattered if i hadnt been caught in the midst of migrating to another app for that when they decided to be assholes.

She somehow managed to perform worse with women than Biden did (53% vs 55%.)

I use Joplin on top of Nextcloud.

Yeah good point, the type of miles probably matters a lot.

23.54 crashes per 1,000 drivers in the past year.

If someone cared about actually comparing this, they'd normalize for the number of miles driven, instead of cherry-picking something so it sounds bad.

This is disengenuous.

I believe that is patented

Yeah, I'd disable that if I could. I'd much rather have no thumbnail than an animated one.

Fuck them for these games. It's an abuse of their market position.

Does Google offer a phone number for me to contact them about problems with their half-assed products? I've tried lots of times to reach a human being, but never raised a response as a private citizen.

That's not what I consider negligible on my phone, which is already resource constrained. Yes, I have a problem with an app that intentionally wastes my valuable resources. I wouldn't care so much from my desktop, but I mostly just use a desktop client to do things I can't easily do on my mobile clients.

No big deal. It's not as if my participation is especially valuable. I would just participate less.

edit: my objection is obviously more in principal than it is practical, but it would hardly be the first time I walked away from software (or a network) on philosophical grounds.

And use copper pot still with silver solder.

Never heard of, eg, Vioxx or thalidomide, I take it?

 

Google has started automatically blocking emails sent by bulk senders who don't meet stricter spam thresholds and authenticate their messages as required by new guidelines to strengthen defenses against spam and phishing attacks.

As announced in October, the company now requires those who want to dispatch over 5,000 messages daily to Gmail accounts to set up SPF/DKIM and DMARC email authentication for their domains.
