Honestly same. I saw that lemm.ee was the second largest and had an active admin, felt like I would dip my toes in and I would change if needed.

Never needed to, stuff like this gives me confidence in the platform.

Missing the spike at the end for white when I blunder back rank check mate.

Yeah, it's a feature dubbed "queued callback". Saves your place, it's a pretty common request. Customers like Delta, Intuit, Pacific Life, Citibank, Dyson, all use the platform I build (Amazon Connect) and do stuff like that.

Problem is, no one answers a call from an unknown number these days. Some phones are getting smart enough to recognize the number and show that it's a business, though that's more anecdotal evidence from my personal device (Pixel Fold with Google Fi carrier).

I sell and build call centers for a living.

Yeah, it's fake lol. I mean maybe for some businesses it isn't fake, but usually clients would ask us to make it where "if there's more than X calls in queue, play the message". Turns out, there's always more than X calls in queue. It's not actually looking at the average.

It's kinda weird, some things are just always like that, some things clients want to add in because the average user expects it.

Someone wanted a repeat caller to get bumped to the front of the queue. Literally encouraging the "if I hang up and call back I'll get there sooner" people. Awful.

Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn't large enough to support niche memes and content.

You should add Miami Connection to your list. Karate rock stars fight against ninja bikers for...reasons, honestly I can't recall the plot, it's just 80s campy greatness.

To my shame, I'm still deeply ingrained in the Google ecosystem. I settled on it like 8-10 years ago and I'm not sure how to dig myself out of this pit. More than Chrome, I heavily use Docs, Sheets, Drive, Wallet, YouTube, Gmail, I even have a Pixel (I hate how bloated Samsung is).

I've used Firefox a little for work because of the nice containers feature. Is Google Drive bad too? It's so easy to share things, I torrent a lot of books and I've shared with a bunch of friends, idk if there's an alternative that others could easily use.

You're gonna need to raise the stakes a bit faster I think

I'm kinda surprised the article doesn't mention IONNA. I mean there's not a lot of meat there, but 7 major auto makers are planning a pretty significant increase to these stations (30k, and they're already starting in 2024). They're supposed to be pretty nice, with access to food, restrooms, etc. similar to a normal gas station.

I'm smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt in the US, where EVs are evil, but I rented an Ioniq 5 to test it out. Charging stations were by far the most anxiety-inducing part of the experience.
