It doesn’t seem like @VodafoneUK cares about fraud at all.
Submitted their web form 2 months ago (with a 7 day supposed turn around) - nothing.
1 month ago I navigated their atrocious phone support to finally get asked to leave my name and number and they’d call… nope.
So @ubereats_uk no longer cares if your food is delivered an hour late. Apparently “latest arrival by” doesn’t actually mean “Your food will arrive by this time at the latest” as a statement.
No refund, no way to actually speak to support - just a “fuck you” to the customer.
Who do I complain to about @lowellfvi chasing me about debt that wasn't taken out by me?
Third day having @Hyperoptic broadband installed… and it’s died. 🤦♂️
It’s pretty quick when it works though 😂
After 90 minutes on hold, I was asked:
- to connect to the ONT directly via a PC
- to hard reset the ONT
Nothing else to be done, I am no without internet for a week until an engineer can come (yay for 5G data networks in the mean time - thanks @ThreeUK)
Thanks @Hyperoptic…
It took 5 minutes on the @HMRCcustomers phone number before being put on hold (no one likes voice navigation / input - it just makes folks annoyed by the time they speak to someone).
Top tip for anyone wanting to use @noom - immediately cancel your subscription after you sign up so they don’t auto-renew.
They state auto-renewed charges aren’t refundable.
Wish I’d subscribed via Apple Subscriptions now.

This makes me sad:

I know I'm now a grumpy old man - but why can't we write better commit messages than:
```
Revert release revert (#508)
* fix: revert release
* fix: revert release revert
* fix: revert release revert
```

Donna's friend @craftedinchaos is fundraising for a new wheelchair and she's SO CLOSE to her target!
Please help her out if you can. @_QueenOfNaps_ and I both know how much of a difference having the right mobility aids can make.

Dexter Barry had a heart transplant after waiting 12 years, now Barry is dead because everyone in the chain of custody in the system let this man die.
I posted about Dexter a last week, some new information has come out and it's worth an update.
Dexter shouldn't have been in jail in the first place. He and his neighbor who shared a wifi service had an argument over the bill. The fight was never physical, they had some words and Berry walked away to cool off.
When the officer decided to arrest him Barry told the cop multiple times how much he needed to bring his medication, but the cop didn't care.
During his jail intake, the nurse even made a note of the severity of his condition "Urgent Referal" she wrote about the medication. nobody cared.
When Barry went in front of the judge for his bond hearing, he again told the judge how urgent his condition was. The judge set his bond at $503 and said "Hopefully you are able to make bond here and get your medication,"
When he finally got out after missing his medication for 2 day his son could tell he didn't sound right. on the 23rd they contacted the hospital to see if he should take extra to make up for the missed doses, and was told it would be to dangerous. Unfortunatly the damage was already done, later that day his body rejected his transplant.
Every single person who separated this man from his medication is responsible for his death. Every person of "Authority" that failed to take the time to do the right thing failed this man.
Why is all the @secretlabchairs Magnus Pro stuff all still pre-order?
