Op shops/thrift stores.

Don't forget that it's policy at most thrift stores to pull anything actually good for their ebay stores, completely destroying the idea of helping the local community in multiple ways

Replacing websites with apps means that half the time copy-paste doesn't work, and even on actual websites, it's disabled surprisingly often (although there at least you can use a browser extension to re-enable it).

Woah now, what the hell do you think you're thing to doing, pasting your bank account numbers from your password manager? Screw you, you can't possibly be doing that in correctly! You better flip back and forth between apps and hope you don't transpose any numbers like a normal person

As bad as verizon is, that one's actually not their fault. For the past couple generations of iphone, the only way to get an unlocked one is direct through apple. They don't give unlocked ones to any other retailers, though the retailers aren't that mad since they made basically 0 on the phone itself anyway

My water company just decided to drop quarterly billing out of nowhere. My bill was usually around $50 so now I'm stuck paying tedious footling little amounts each month. Can't even set up a direct debit because it's forwarded from the property managers.

Can you toss $100 their way to have a credit on the account and then just keep the credit topped off each quarter?

I get it's an example of enshittification, I just always try to fix things

At my tech company, management had the genius idea of saving money by not keeping the coffee machines stocked. Now, because management pinched those pennies, the very expensive software engineers spend 15 minutes waiting in line at the barista instead 30 seconds at the machine.

Start looking for a new job asap. No joke, coffee machine stock issues is high up on the list of red flags that a tech company is about to die

it is the year 2023. we really should have loving foolproof and bulletproof birth control. it should be free. we should never have teen pregnancies. sex ed should cover masturbation, non-het non PIV sex, and consent.

but instead Roe V Wade is gone and sex ed (if you even get it) is poo poo.

You're thinking like a human, but the goal is to punish all those harlots for daring to have sex (whether they wanted to or not)

The google calendar android widget now uses half of its vertical space to show you the day of the month instead of your actual calendar entries.

Don't forget about the GIGANTIC IMAGES that automatically replace a block background and make color coding a calendar entry useless if you dare to include a word like "lunch" anywhere in the title

fun fact: you can only port forward to a device if that app sees it
it does not see all of them

it's great

I'd suggest changing your computer's ip temporarily to set up the forward, but watch it do something "smart" like track if a mac address changes its ip

Fm transmitters are garbo, get a bluetooth adapter that has a 3.5 output for an aux jack. If you don't have an aux jack look online to see if there's an adapter you can get that plugs into where a cd changer would go on the stock radio, and failing that use a casstte adapter if your car can take tapes or a wired fm modulator if not
