Finding this in the server room made my day

[jawpeople]

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

What the “haha millennials can’t even make phone calls” crowd fails to appreciate is that making phone calls is a far more user-hostile and physically uncomfortable experience than it was 15-20 years ago.

[ivy-michaels]

It used to be you picked up a landline, which had physical buttons and at its smallest was still 3x larger than a smartphone, dialed the actual location you wanted to call (instead of a corporate call center) and you could actually talk to someone with access to the store computer/government records/dinner reservations that actually fucking applied to you.

You could also actually hold the phone with your shoulder without it hurting, which freed your hands up to cook or eat, or type on a computer, etc. it didn’t require an accessory you had to keep charged. It was built into the phone’s physical design!!!

It sucks more to do phone calls now! Like it just does!!!

[ivy-michaels]

The most mundanely dehumanizing experience I’ve had in the last few years was when I called a domino’s to troubleshoot a pizza order and they directed me to a call center in a different state.

[ivy-michaels]

“We had to automate it because nobody would do the job!”

PAY YOUR FUCKING WORKERS

[lyricwritesprose]

It used to be that you could reliably get on the phone and talk with a human being.

And while human beings have their issues, and occasionally you will hit one who may be from outer space, they usually are fairly easy to talk to about things that are obviously just Some Bullshit To Get Resolved.

"Hi, Town X Gas and Electric? I got a bill saying you guys would cut us off if I didn't pay my overdue balance of $0.00 and I think you can probably see why I have a problem doing that."

"Sorry, ma'am, we're switching computers and it's a nightmare. Let me get that fixed for you, if you'll hold for a minute…okay, that should be it. If you get another notice like that, call back and ask for Dennis."

"Thank you very much, Dennis, you have a great day, you hear?"

But you just try explaining to a robot that you can't owe $0.00 to Gas and Electric, because as far as it's concerned, it's a number, and numbers are things you either pay or you owe, and the computer that represents the AI's entire existence is saying you owe this number—and the fact that it is literally not an amount of money that exists cannot make a difference to something that, itself, does not exist in most meaningful senses.

keysmashes heatmap from my current keysmash-detector test corpus

[timelockedchosen]

what

[foone]

I'm writing some code to detect and analyze keysmashes from flustered transfem submissives, so I've been collecting a small pile of example keysmashes to test against.

I took all the examples and compared how often each key appears, resulting in the above graph

[galileoace]

How do you collect the data?

[foone]

usually I just flirt with transfems until they keysmash for me

To send a message, write a complaint and boycott the company behind Burger King and the other franchises it owns.

This includes Popeyes and Tim Hortons.

I'm also betting it's looking for "unprofessional language" in general and is almost certainly biased against AAVE, like, I would bet cash moneydollars on that

The Color Game. “Humans can’t reliably recall colors. This is a simple game to see how good (or bad) you are at it. We’ll show you five colors, then you’ll try and recreate them.” I scored 39/50 but got a perfect score on one color.
