What is this gmail you speak of?

OK, but you’re not saying that was your fault, right?

My point exactly. Take my unsubscribe and act on it, people. Nothing needs to be on the page but that.

I don’t

I do. Don’t care. But thanks for pointing that out.

💯

I hear you, I do. It’s just that I’ve supported local bands my whole life, at mostly small bars and clubs. This is a relatively new local band I really want to see before they take off on a world-wide tour and now AXS is making it hard. First world problems, I know. I just don’t want to take out my anger on the band, eh. They don’t control any of this.

Yeah!

I asked here about that and was told there’s not enough of us here. Meh.

I would but this is totally just for me and it runs in nginx / php and I am going to guess you would just barf all over it.

But here’s a post where I asked for help on this subject, and where I got the idea to write my own app. There are a number of other ideas in there, and one really good HTML/JS app from github that does the same thing but is way better.

Oh! I just did this (used an AI chatbot to help me code a web app) to easily resize images.

It was a great experience and I only edited about 5% of the code it provided. I used the bot via DuckDuckGo. The app is simple, eh, but it works. Would vibe code again fer sher.

In b4 the snap complaints!

Does anyone else remember back in the early days of the internet when experts used to say, “The internet routes around problems”.

I miss those early days.

To @daggermoon@lemmy.world , I see that a lot with searches now too but I just keep searching or find some other way around the problem. There’s no way I click in to Reddit any more. You do you, but I’m saying there’s always another option.

So, you are saying Debian is the better choice, right?

Oooh, neat! [Cunningham’s Law] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham#Cunningham’s_Law) in action!

Yah, I love that idea of follow up but I imagine if the software is used by hundreds of thousands or more people, they can’t follow up on every case.You’d think that could be largely automated but who knows.

This person gets it. Thank you.

I agree with Nouveau_Brunswick here.

And to add: to @hperrin@lemmy.ca , are you not also a user of software and do you not see room for improvement in many apps? That’s where I am rn: I just want them to try harder to communicate a tiny bit more info when things go so wrong that a message has to be displayed on my screen. Telling me “There’s nothing you can do to fix the problem” would be a big help, for instance. Make sense?

See my update/EDIT above. I feel like most of the replies here are on the same track as you but I still think there’s a better way.

Them:

“What? Oh that? That always happens”

Me:

Grrrrr

Yeah, you’re right, but I still would prefer to see something telling me whether something I did caused the problem or something went wrong in the software / on the server. From this thread, I’m getting that my wishes will not be heard.
