git ux sucks

news at 11

the core idea might be ok, heaven knows it has won out, but the ux kills me every other day.


https://joseph-fox.co.uk/tech/git-ours-theirs-explained

all is full of shyte

pretty much everything online about ecommerce is dog shyte ui ux.

trying to ship a used computer monitor. 

freaking nightmare of stupidities.

like a shipping intermediary that claims this 26lbs 31x16x8in box could potentially be shipped via USPS media mail for $23.22

just blatant outright transparently stupid-rock-dumb. 

oh and they somehow broke the most basic parts of gui in a web browser, too.

oh and are full of random bugs and unresponsive ui.

"shipstation" more like "shytestation" if you know what i mean.

 let alone the superweasel terms and conditions.

pirateship sucks. easyship sucks. 

c'est la vie. 

the house always wins

corporate legal shit be all like > By using the Services, you waive your rights with respect to California Civil Code Section 1542, which says, “a general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

strewth

Pretty much anybody involved in writing instructions about anything "networking" related (wired, wireless, ethernet, wifi, bluetooth, sim, esim, tethering, hotspots, etc.) is at least an idiot, if not an assh*le.

Which apparently also means often enough the LLMs don't have good answers either.

Remember back when we had "tech writers"? Who actually knew what they were doing? Who had a clue at all about what was required for decent documentation?
