There were maybe one or two comments I think posted early on that made me think “wait, did I post this on CorporateJerk or HailSamWalton by mistake” 😀

Thanks :)

Not only is it baked into the cost of goods and offered as one of their services to attract customers (like “free” pick up), it reduces labor costs by showing customers which shelves to peruse to find their comic books and their chocolate milk. Their captive portal also serves as an ad for digital payment & their scan + mobile checkout offerings (coincidentally both enabled by Internet service like their Wi-Fi), which may increase retention and reduce labor costs respectively.

privacy sacrifice to use internet in their cavernous dead zone of a building

It was a worthwhile sacrifice, but I’m definitely gonna name & shame! Wouldn’t touch WiFi if it weren’t a dead zone.

Also gave me a chance to complain about some of their other business practices. (Certainly wouldn’t have shopped there if I hadn’t been asked to this one time.)

I’ve never seen this message before so they seem an outlier even in the greedy corporate world. Enough complaints and every once in a while a business changes their practices. Why not whine a little? 🙂

Thanks for asking, finally took the time to report why 🙂 - Voyager image upload bug

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

How do ya compare incentives of Apple/Cloudflare & the big box store in terms of data privacy?

 

Steps to re-create:

  • I start a new thread
  • I upload an image
  • I tap the Post Text body
  • I upload an image to be inserted into the body (Post Text)
  • Nothing appears to happen after upload completes; no image embed markdown is inserted
  • I tap back and see the image I just uploaded to be inserted into the body has instead been uploaded as the main image to be featured in the thread, supplanting the image initially uploaded

Issue present for several weeks on:

  • iOS 17.5.1

  • Voyager 2.13.0

Amount charged for this free software:

  • $0.00

Our dev:

  • Priceless

THANK YOU!

 

I promise I searched first!

Attempted to post from the website and a mobile app. To test, successfully posted a text post and subsequently the same post with the image uploaded directly to Lemmy.

Guessing some spammer or worse was abusing the feature… did think image proxying was coming which might help…

If this was intended behavior, hope someone can link relevant documentation and perhaps it’ll be more easily found by others in the future. (Used lots of keywords in the title for that purpose!)

 

This is after forcing login to a store account:

At least they don’t hide in their ToS that:

“l agree to let Walmart monitor my use of Walmart WiFi, including to:

  • Determine my presence in Walmart stores
  • Associate information about me with my Walmart account
  • Improve products and services
  • Gather market insights about my in-store purchases and activities”

But that’s not enough, they need to monitor your internet activity further too.


For further reading, some greatest hits (the section headers on Wiki’s Criticism of Walmart):

  • Local communities
  • Allegations of predatory pricing and supplier issues
  • Labor relations
  • Poorly run and understaffed stores
  • No AEDs in stores (automated external defibrillators)
  • Imports and globalization
  • Product selection
  • Taxes
  • Animal welfare
  • Midtown Walmart
  • Opioids settlement

Bummer, Bitwarden can’t always get the App ID. They do say it’s about whether the dev surfaces the info.

Realized even if I looked it up another way, it wouldn’t matter since if the app doesn’t surface it Bitwarden will never automatch it.

(Would be surprised if 1Password could somehow get the App ID when Bitwarden can’t, should test just to be sure since I’m curious.)

Thanks :)

"I've been on gel that makes you orange for three years but I still greyscalemode in public" (I've been using a gel that makes my skin appear orange for three years, but I still appear in a muted, grayscale-like manner in public)

"My spectral decomposition is too close to homogeneous everyone can see it" (The distribution of colors in my appearance is too uniform and lacking in variety, so it is obvious to everyone)

"I have accepted my fate as an orangecel desaturatoid" (I have accepted my fate as an orange-colored, desaturated and dull version of myself)

"luckchromatic primaroids such as yourself could never understand" (People with normal, vibrant color perception like yourself could never truly understand my experience)

 

I use predictive text for one thing: emoji. I always, always, always want to see emoji suggested when I type any word or synonym that matches an emoji. Workarounds are not permanent, and using the emoji keyboard or Siri are not optimal. Please allow me to enable predictive emoji in all apps permanently forever. Thank you!

-My feedback to Apple

Feel the same? Submit here:

apple.com/feedback/iphone

Also as far as my time estimate, that’s how long there’ve been complaints about the feature. I do know Text Replacements and sending yourself or using emoji repeatedly in a given app are possible workarounds.

 

Mine: require setting a URL to support password managers. You download an app, go to login, tap the password field, and open Bitwarden. Does it find your login? Half the time, nope! The dev didn’t tell Apple one time what their URL is, so everyone now has to search their password manager every time.

The arc of fucking around is long but it bends towards finding out.
