Completely agreed on all your points. Outsourcing any work to an Indian subcontractor is an absolute no-go for me at this point, I’ve been burned way too many times. I have no idea why it’s like that, but I have to look out for myself and my company.

95% of the time, nothing at all. Now you have to guess what I do for money. :)

Years ago, in the distant past, a youth with no learning, I set out to figure out a way to scare off the crows on my father’s land.

I put up some sticks, but that didn’t work.

Eventually I figured out that fleshing out that skeletal figure worked better. I gave that figure some more depth and dimensionality.

I propped up that skeletal figure, put some clothes on him and stuffed him full of straw. He did good. He scared off the crows.

He was my straw man. He was good at his job. How good is your straw man?

Wish stackoverflow. Since they embraced enshittification I think this is the right place to post this.

I got a new phone, with all the same accounts, but cannot restore my previous lifetime purchases from sync. I'm not sure how to rectify it.

Edit: I’m pretty sure that I made a mistake here, in that I tried to use my main credentials to sign in and transfer, but I actually bought the lifetime on a different account. The likelihood that I confused myself with my paranoia is likely high.

Of course.

Indeed. It’s confusing why that didn’t work. It’s literally the same login I have used for over 20 years.

I have not tried that. I’m too old and tired to futz around with that kind thing anymore.

Oh dear lord, I don’t think it warrants a ping for him. I am perfectly willing to just buy it again, but it’s a bit of a curiousity as to why I can’t sync it. I’m a software developer, and given all that I know, just transferring my creds over to a new phone shouldn’t break any links. The exact same credentials on different hardware shouldn’t matter.

I have multiple accounts on varying services, so it’s possible I’m missing something amongst the chaos.

Ad free. Was that a one time per device thing? I bought it the day it was released for the Lemmy version.

I go outside and roll around in the grass with my dogs. There’s no enshittification outside.

The Himalayas are indeed the highest mountains in the world.

That’s because Oregon is just an awful state and no one should ever move here. Just… go elsewhere. Please.

Damn, that’s really an offensive shirt but also somehow kinda funny at the same time.

Dude, that was so fucking unexpected and caught me with my pants down. Made me cry a little bit. Reminded me of the beginning of Up, but more real.
