Seriously considering selling my SteamDeck, I don’t get to play often and when I pick it up I have do a ton of updates first, then I tried to use discover and determined flatpak is a fucking mess, and the on screen keyboard doesn’t fit on screen in desktop mode, and installs sit there on “waiting” with no indicator of what they’re doing, and I had to use kobsole to even get discover to refresh flatpak. This is not a good experience for when I finally get time to sit and play a game

Basically what I’ve learned on this trip is Fuck @united

And now @united has decided that even though we have a connecting flight that leaves in an hour and have to go through customs and they know we are at the farthest point from customs, we are chopped liver and not important enough to get off the plane with the other connecting flights. More quality treatment from United on this trip.

All we can do is keep building and trying till the civil war happens. Just keep building

Welp, NV is hard blue, and infanticide is winning on the ballot. Import the third world, become the third world

I have learned something interesting, you would think user groups for niches that your software provides a solution for would be good. However what I’ve learned is that these groups do not allow you to offer your solution to their problems because it’s “self promotion”. But you are free to offer whatever other software that steals your data. Additionally when you do solve a specific problem a user has talked about, they won’t try it, because I think most of these people don’t actually want a solution, they want to be mad

So rejected AGAIN. And the first rejection reason was literally something I explained in detail in the review notes and Apple choose not to read it. I explained the entire flow for when and why location is needed, how it’s used, how the api is used. And they rejected. Then they rejected for a bug in purchase messaging. But they supplied no screenshot, no error message, just a very vague message they received an error. So I guess we have to change things at random till we guess what they want? I’m legit about to give up, because I have an app with a real use solving real problems but Apple seems to be going out of their way to make this process literally as difficult as possible. And I’m afraid to resubmit now because I don’t know what will happen if they find some other random thing to reject on they didn’t already mention before

Finally! My app Stylist Stash has moved back to in review. I really hope I didn’t miss anything cause I genuinely feel bad when I do and want to get it right for the App Store, and it’s a little frustrating seeing people with garbage apps that whiz through but this one has an actual use

I love AI, but man these AI posts are absurd now. If you have a thought, write your thought. Do t ask ChatGPT to write it for you then post on X. It’s SUPER OBVIOUS the writing pattern. Just write your thought

Honestly glad I only ever setup one grok bot thing. It does the job for me at least

I’m pretty sure these companies exist to make travel and a vacation as miserable as possible to prevent vacations from being relaxing. Instead when I’m already on my last nerve, they find new and creative ways to enrage

Fuck @united and fuck @Chase . Scammed me into upgrading my card and took away the benefits

So I upgraded my @united card, and they took away benefits and charged me more for it. Thanks guys. Real fucking great service
