    Y

    However if the next election ends up being something similar to the current one where it becomes another a vote not for X means a vote for Y, I’m going to vote Z regardless of the potential outcome it’s the only way to actually make change in our system it just requires people actually going through with the threat of not voting X or Y

    No yea I totally understand why it happens, it’s just from a consumer POV it’s super annoying that it does. It basically forces the consumer to either take the day off, or to try to have it planned on an already scheduled day off and just do nothing that entire day.

    It used to be you could just call and they would give a limited time slot and you would just need to make sure someone was there at the scheduled time, now it seems everyone’s underhiring to maximize profit(somewhat understandable needs to make money somehow idle techs = loss salary) and techs are being forced to double or sometimes even triple dip.

    If it was properly formatted, the type of service call would be known ahead of time. Investigative type calls would be separated from actual work calls. a visit to see why the internet is down should not be coupled with service calls that require delayed work, if they show and it’s an easy fix then sure but, something that would cause a tech to miss their second service window should be a “hey, I believe X is the issue, but we need to schedule to have someone fix this…” or better yet… if you know that the person will be the third or fourth stop that day, not tell the consumer “yea the window is 8-8 could show up any time” that way the customer can do something on the day off. No point in having the person wait for a morning slot if it is likely not going to be available early morning.

    I would rather get given a percise time slot, and then get a call saying “hey im running early do you have the ability to be there earlier?” then wait all day and then around 6:30 PM they decide to finally show up. Waste of the consumers time.



  • I think one of his accounts was LMAO@lemmy.world, basically he got banned for community squatting and then due to it vowed to ruin the platform, his first attempt was spamming a bunch of long domains, but that got automated out as someone released a tool that allowed you to give a token and a username and it just nuked every community that person owned. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was the same guy.

    lol 4 PM, I wish it worked like that.

    I only get the “Your scheduled call will be between 8 AM and 8:30 PM, please be available during that time frame. Please note, due to increased call volume we are unable to designate anything other than a time block for the call, thank you for your understanding.” BS. Same with ISP/service tech installs and shipping packages.


  • as much as I wanna jump on the spez evil train, I think a more likely trail is that kid who got banned for community squatting, he found that they automated away his ability to just spam create dumb communities so now he’s likely just paying someone to DDoS the platform. He has a youtube channel, it’s really sad. All his videos are worthless acts like “hacking” (more like exploiting) websites that he thinks are popular/makes views. He even has a video on how to speedrun getting monetized on youtube in the event that your channel gets banned/demonetized. It’s super shitty.










  • Aside from device ID, or maybe if you’re using a billing address as something from Australia, I can’t see how they would be, you’ve stated location services are off, VPN will mask the ip.

    I didn’t even need to use a VPN in my cases between Canada and the US, changing to an account that was in the region that allowed the purchase was all I had to do.

    That being said if I changed my Canada account to use the billing address of my US residence instead of my Canadian residence when on the Canadian region, I would get region locked I found, so if you have a primary payment method on file using your AU address you could try temporarily removing or modifying it to have a different address
