Up ta somethin'


SwiftKey never did try a correct my loving swearing into any bullshit other words, even when using its "flow" swipe equivalent. actually it is pretty much impossible to type duck with flow. gently caress, suck,and dick take priority unless you pause meaningfully over the d and u keys (which defeats the point really).

a guy very patiently explaining posted:

Assuming that Google isn’t particularly interested to convince you just for argument’s sake (in fact, it’s quite likely interested in not wasting any effort at all in unproductive arguing), the current process seems optimal. There were opinion differences about what is excessive. At the point of appeal, you showed that there *still* are opinion differences about what is excessive – i.e., that you didn’t want to drastically change your keywords, but wanted to negotiate some way of keeping them. At that point saying “come back when you’ve thought it over” is an appropriate answer – one that I’d give myself.

in defence of not autocorrecting gently caress over duck: communicating not on SA or wherever you wanna break out the cuss words freely.

like an email with a client or something. if there was an auto correct to poo poo or gently caress or whatever, it could be a big deal.

I don't think they're trying to force values on us, just protect us from that.

oh theres no doubt its not like there are any real repercussions if every gently caress is a duck but set it up the other way and that big meeting at work about the duck pond goes horribly wrong

austin was a test market for isis and I tried it. holy hell was it bad. like it made bitcoiner rants about the difficulty of using cash seem reasonable. mobile wallets are useless without touchid or something similarly reliable and easy.

the only good thing is that for the most part the stores left up their "pay with isis" stickers and you can use apple pay there. except my local bike shop because the isis folks never actually gave them the nfc scanner.

you laugh, but I deal daily with "idea" guys who come up with poo poo that can only be solved in 10 steps and get huffy when I tell them how nobody in their right loving mind will do it and refuse to even consider it as a line item to be discussed at our project meeting.

currentc's customers are retailers not the people who will be making payments so they just ignored them

i like apple pay

in fact i used it just the other day to buy this retinal imac i got, seemed fitting.

frankly i just wanted to do a nearly $3000 transaction over apple pay to see if it'd work, it did and it showed up on my phone in less than a second not from pay but from my american express app that said "yo this just went thru" on my notifications screen.

why does every other type of provider want to make things so difficult

as a product for consumers, yes it sucks

but being a freelance dev guy i was looking into accepting Square or something

as it is my clients pay $1.50 to pay with interact e-transfer, a dumb canadian thing

square would charge me $24 loving dollars per transaction ( once a week )

i imagine there is a regular Visa rate that they are paying then marking it up to 2.75%

maybe apple can get that rate down to whatever Visa's base rate is, which i think i remember is like 1%??

anyway, what i'd like to see is phone-to-phone apple pay between individuals, but for really cheap or free. and currentC, since they don't have to pay CC rates, could actually have done that.
