Same! I now actively noticed when a street doesn't have specific accessibility needs. I even went, "This bus stop has a bench AND a trash can? What a treat for riders!"
As a social activist and tech worker, my interests bleed into hacking, security, and doing the right thing. During my work with BLM, one of my aliases was targeted by right wing trolls. Easy to dissolve and make a new one. I worked with activists who have had their children targeted, their neighbors targeted, even their jobs threatened.
My friends and family, wife and children do not deserve any backlash for my comments.
After being outted on Reddit years ago, I made a rule to myself. If I ever become known on a platform (or on Reddit, reach 100000 upvotes), I'd delete my account and start over.
Frankly, some of the shit I've said could get me in trouble at work or my real life. So the anonymity is a boon.
If I was counting reddit, this would be my 13th account.
I think McDs always planned to roll out remote customer service to really maximize capitalism. And wrapping it under AI because that's a trendy buzzword!
Https://Rockpapershotgun.com is one of the few sites I still visit on a frequent basis. I don't care about half of their reviews. Their writing and personality is just entertaining and the commenters are fun.
As a developer, I love https://js13kgames.com/. These masters of JS make games that are under 13k, smaller than font file!
This blog has been my late night addiction. https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/ reviews old PC RPG games like Wizardry and Eye of the Beholder. Theyve been doing it for more than a decade.
People on Lemmy, who kinda are on the upper echelons of technical aptitude, forget that the average user is really fucking dumb. Work a stint in level 1 IT and you will get the absolute wildest head smacking issues ever.
And companies capitalize on that by making it incredibly easy to give them money.
This is going to sound weird but Japanese companies seem to have a lot of problems with multiplayer. Im thinking of fighting games and Nintendo. Which is weird because Korea is big on MMOs and strong networking so I dunno.
