i use female australian siri, because when i was testing the voices out by manipulating them into saying “buttholes” that voice sounded the most cheerful about it

has anyone else noticed that websites are just straight up breaking more often recently? like actual websites you want to use like banking, insurance, etc

yes

my personal opinion is that its because govt and banking and all other such services want to move to the "tech" age with modern web design and apps, but they do not want to pay for the development and maintenance of the shitpile of constantly breaking microservices that is the modern web stack. and nobody is making things simple and resilient these days because why would you

I only have canyoneyes for you
company i work for submitted a bid in july to provide some services to a home builder starting in january. they just sent one of our people to a training where they're rolling out a new scheduling/payment system using a third party vendor that all their suppliers must now use.

there is a $100 monthly fee billed to every supplier to keep them active in the system and a $1/transaction fee for every purchase order processed. can't imagine what was going on in the empty skull of the suit who thought that making the jobs of their accounts payable people slightly easier was not going to result in all ~30-50 contractors on a jobsite padding their bids by an extra $1500/yr

I get particularly frustrated when calling customer service and they have me speak to some voice recognition software because they’re forcing me to talk to a computer I have no intention to talk to
