Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
It gets better:
On Wednesday, some of the people who posted about the gift card said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled. When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”
just a perfect encapsulation of tech under capital, "sorry we caused Hell on earth for a day, here's a defunct gift card".
Fucking LOL $10 can't even get you a coffee nowadays, wild.
yes sorry but we meant what we said we have issued one (1) ten dollar gift card to say sorry for the outage. we have emailed the code to this gift card to all affected customers. first come, first serve, don't say we don't love ya
*turns to assistant, murmuring under breath* hey, cancel that ten dollar gift card for me real quick
presumably they have to preserve their real assets for the impending lawsuits and bankruptcy
read the headline and thought this was a Hard Times or similar type of satire article
I just knew this was Hard Times when I read it.
Reminds me of when I signed up for that class action lawsuit against one of the credit monitoring companies. I was supposed to get a couple hundred dollars or something but ended up getting a year of free credit monitoring.
Monitoring that won’t protect you from itself lol
Yeah I didn't even bother after that
Shit like this pisses me off so much. A company has awful security and all your personal data leaks? Fuck all happens. A fucking game clip is leaked? Oh we gotta stop this from happening, arrest the boy!
Companies should have to pay through the nose for this shit.
if even the slightest punishment were given for data breaches AT&T would be in the 9th circle of hell right now
Omg it's serious 
Yeah I thought it was the onion when I saw it
between this and Michael Bay's skibidi toilet, I feel like reality is gaslighting the fuck out of me today
Is that per device or no
these mfers sent me this last night, i redeemed it to an Uber eats account i have only ever used a couple times, and then 20 minutes later i got an email that they revoked the gift card
Very "Give the nerd some cheetos and mountain dew for working overtime" energy.
It's ~~one banana~~ 8.5 million blue screens Michael, how much could it cost? Ten dollars?
