I had never heard of this having not used IOS in about 10 years but I was interested so I checked it out. Just wanted to point out that the first result for my google search was for stop the madness mobile which says "IMPORTANT: New customers should purchase StopTheMadness Pro rather than StopTheMadness Mobile, which will receive no new features."

The model for a provider like Spirit is to offer you an extremely cheap ticket, but literally *everything* costs extra. Your Delta/United/Etc. will have that included in the cost, but the base ticket price is higher. Yep. Almost never worth it. $50 for carry on for a $50 cheaper ticket when you book. You don't even break even on it because literally everything else about your flight will be enshittified, smaller seat, dirtier plane, even uglier flight attendants somehow.

Google Photo backup somehow got turned on on my wife's phone and it immediately maxed out my storage plan, so Google threatened to disable my Gmail account Google Photo does not provide a way to bulk delete photos gently caress me that is downright evil. I can either pay $7 to use somebody's Google Photo Delete extension or run a script that selects all visible photos on the screen and asks to delete them so at least it's semi-automated

Photos asks me every other day when I open it if I want to enable photo backup to Drive, and the toggle comes pre-enabled. She probably clicked right through it. It is dogshit design

They should make an interview rule that if you can demonstrate and explain an effective cheating strategy you're an automatic hire based on the fact you're smarter than the people already making decisions there.

Even just sitting somewhere that’s not the rear end end of the plane is $20-30. It's very clear that they've used the seat selection map data to heatmap where people choose to sit and then added a loving upcharge to all but the bottom ~15% of seats. There's a sweet spot around row 25 or so where the aisle seats still cost extra, but the window seats don't. I just sit in the loving back now on purpose. Closer to the shitter anyway. Also got asked to upgrade to business class for a flight from Denver to Boston for 1800 dollars

You are statistically much more likely to survive a plane crash sitting in the back, aren't you? I'm surprised they don't charge more for those seats and call it Safety Zone Plus.

You can set google to only display results before a certain date. Not 100% foolproof but sometimes useful. Also try https://search.marginalia.nu/ and unironically searching these dead gay forums.

A couple of months ago I had a job interview involving a coding exam where I was somehow supposed to make API endpoints for an e-commerce system involving only two models: user and subscription. It made absolutely no loving sense and I told them as much, and was told "we want to see how you would react if you were assigned to this project for real", to which I replied "I wouldn't, because there is absolutely no way this could work under any realistic conditions". Not only that, but the exam was completely broken in the state that they sent it to me. I had to manually fix their code to get the loving thing to run. I asked if that was part of the test and, after a little hesitation, they said that it was. I made a simple DB schema to replace their stupid poo poo and wrote a few endpoints to interact with it. I did not get the job because they felt I was unable to work with existing codebases. Honestly, if their code is that loving awful in real life then I dodged a bullet right there.

Only eight more interviews and the codebase will be in good enough shape for more people to work on it.

My wife went to an interview at a very famous tech company you already used their products this morning if you wanted to or not. They asked the question wrong and my wifey explained the entire thing and gave them an answer. She is painfully polite in business settings so I'm sure she crushed them as nicely as possible. No offer. I understand issues with the interview process but I always thought conducting technical interviews is pretty easy. You just nudge them to the right answer until they figure it out. You can learn a lot just by listening to what they get wrong. If you eventually get it right and I have to say "Yo its simpler than that I'm not trying to torture you" then you're doing ok.
