and the Mojang to Microsoft account migration for Java made a lot of people lose their accounts entirely.

Hey, it’s me. I contacted support and got a list of info they needed to fix it. I responded with that info and got a reply from a different person with a list of info they needed to fix it. I responded with that info and got a reply from a different person with a list of info they needed to fix it.

Then I said said “fuck this shit” and gave up to never play again.

EDIT: You probably guessed, but I should clarify that it was the same list of info, verbatim, each time. Just copy/paste response without reading that I’d already supplied it.

I just enjoy that I can call them “xbone”

This. I go on a solo backpacking trip every year that for some reason coincides with my birthday… Weird how that works out.

Is there a sim card buried in there somewhere that can be removed or is it soldered in, potted, etc?

… Or your car bricks if you remove it wouldn’t surprise me, regardless.

If you like this and haven’t seen “Good Night, Oppy” you should go do that right now.

Might vary by locale? Around here (South US) it seems like every single store has their own rewards/discount/whatever system that requires your phone number but it’s not necessary for the transaction… It’s just an extra info grab.

Sometimes the user facing POS/credit card reader will let you handle it (enter/skip) but many places rely on the salesperson to ask and then enter it or skip.

But, I also don’t get around much so my experience is limited.

Same.

Cashier: “What’s your phone number?” (For the store tracking/rewards/whatever)

Me : “Don’t have one!” (As I remove the credit card from the case on the back of myphone)

Nobody has questioned it once. They don’t want to ask in the first place but are forced to.

Generally speaking, programmers like to program (many do it just for fun), and many dislike review. AI removes the programming from the equation in favour of review.

This really resonated with me and is an excellent point. I’m going to have to remember that one.

Slashnet still exists and it’s fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.

: D

I think they just fixed it

Yeah, Linux can capture and playback the spoken distinction between lowercase and uppercase letters. Windows can’t do that.

You’re not taking advantage of that functionality?

When I got mine, the doc said I should wait about two weeks then “ejaculate as frequently as possible” before returning for the scheduled checkup/semen test.

Doctor’s orders! 🫡
