I'm currently creating a new, small #website for our new #thai#company with #grav and it's been a few months since I did this professionally at #kubusmedia. Although getting back into it was a bit of a stretch, it's a lot of fun too. 🤓 It's also the first time I've done the design with #flex.
I’ve been getting email from them and my apartment complex. Flex is a new #payment options where they take your #rent and divide it over two to four payments. But of course flex has it own #fee.
So essentially Flex pays your rent with a fee and you pay flex back. Sounds good right.
But I did some digging because they are pushing this so hard.
Come to find out, Flex is horrible. It doesn’t tell you how much the fee is until you sign up. Once you sign up it’s damm near impossible to get out of it.
So let’s say you need to split September rent, but in October you are fine. You still have to go thru flex and pay the fee.
Then I found this article. Not only could the lady not get out of flex, she ended up owing them about 1k in fees.
That #article also states that Flex as a #business has 1 out of 5 stars on BBB. Their customer service is damm never nonexistent.
But I think we are missing a bigger issue. #Apartments are pushing flex because they know people can not afford the rent. And because people can’t afford the rent there are more #evictions and loss of payment. So instead of lowering the rent they push flex. They want it to seem like they are helping when they are not.
Most people get evicted and the apartment never get their money. 7 years later it falls off your credit report.
So to keep people in these buildings and to keep a steady income they offer some shit like flex.
It’s #predatory and will most likely leave a #tenant in worst standing than before.
T-Mobile wprowadza wsparcie dla #eSIM w usługach "na kartę" dla ofert T-Mobile MIX, T-Mobile na kartę oraz Heyah! 🙌 🥳
Co zrobić, by móc zmienić plastik na cyfrową kartę? Wymianę można zlecić w punkcie sprzedaży lub na infolinii 602 960 200 (dla taryf Frii Mix i GO!). Po zleceniu przez wymianę karty SIM, jeśli procedura instalacji Karty #eSIM przewiduje przesłanie przez T-Mobile e-mailem związanej z tym instrukcji, na wskazany adres e-mail zostaną przesłane dokumenty dotyczące tej karty. Jednocześnie zostanie przesłany od T-Mobile SMS potwierdzający aktywację Karty #eSIM.
Co ważne, wymiana karty SIM na kartę #eSIM jest bezpłatna. W przypadku dokonania więcej niż 5 wymian w miesiącu, za każdą kolejną wymianę karty pobierana będzie opłata, zgodnie z obowiązującym cennikiem. Za wymianę #eSIM na SIM (plastikową) T-Mobile pobiera opłatę za wymianę karty SIM.
@matsafi Jak nie lubię zbytnio #Orange to #Flex uwielbiam. Dają radę i to już tyle czasu. Trochę się spóźnili magentowi.. i jeszcze jak czytam nie upraszczają przejścia
A great guide by @fonts, which has really helped me understand those #flexbox properties better.
It just solved a "hack" I've used previously in one of my flex containers, where the container shouldn't grow when content in it changed (hack: use position: absolute and another element within with position: relative).
i liked this "Tailwind and the Femininity of CSS" article -- it took me a long time to understand how important CSS is and that it's not less "serious" because it's different from other forms of programming https://thoughtbot.com/blog/tailwind-and-the-femininity-of-css
(Tailwind actually really helped me learn CSS and I still like it, but I might move away from it as I get better at CSS)
@b0rk Great read, thanks for sharing. The behaviour described is very familiar to me - people who trash #CSS because it's not "real". But the truth is, they got to the tutorial on #flex and noped out, and they just want to feel better about it lol.
@mikeyn6il has recovered and restored #FLEX for the #CoCo.
FLEX used to be a popular OS for 68xx machines before OS9. There where always coco flex images floating around but they where all broken in different ways.
