What is it with tech companies being too shitty lately?

I've made a mistake by trying to restore a old Facebook account that I wanted to "delete", I even attempted it on two occasions, of course they demand an ID picture but their website is horrible with the phone camera so the pics always came out blurry so they always refused them.

Never again.

Couldn't you copy them into a reply, then delete the bits you don't want to keep? I'm possibly misunderstanding though.

That's one way of doing it.

Pro-tip on Android at least - if you open your Recents, you can manually select text that was on your screen even if it wasn't selectable at full screen.

Is that an option on OneUi as well? I haven't been able to figure it out.

Ever since I saw how bad the infestation of cars is in the streets all around me, I just don't find the idea of buying my own car very appealing anymore, in my small and dense town, every new vehicle on the street is a problem when the streets are tight and people already double park in many spots.

However, I do drive around my parents cars when I need to cause public transit here isn't the best but I try to utilize it as much as I could.

Nevertheless, long gone are the times when I used to watch YT chaneels like carwow and hoping that I get to own the cars that I see, I can maybe compare my resentment towards buying a vehicle to the idea of buying cigarettes or alcohol to someone who quit either, a silly comparison but I hope it gives you an idea.

I can imagine they attempted to save face after all the 3rd party app mess, of course it's an ill-advised decision and backfired on them as it should.

Sorry if this isn't the right community.

Looking forward to trying it! I'm going in with an open mind and definitely not expecting the experience to be as flawless as the original since even Lemmy itself is still in development.

Social media presence as in having accounts in your name with you being visible in the profile picture in mainstream sites (Anything Meta, Twitter, Snapchat, Tiktok...). I don't consider anynounmous accounts on Lemmy, Reddit, Kbin relevant to the scope of this question.

When I was a teenager, I used to recall my earlier childhood memories being rose tinted and almost dreamlike, now that I'm in my early 20s, my memories of my early to middle teenage years are also becoming dreamy and rose tinted in a way. Does anyone experience this? Is it possible that I will I remember my early adult years in the same way?

Thanks for the transparency.

I've lost access to an old Facebook account of mine a few months ago when I forgot to migrate Facebook's 2FA key to my new phone, would there be any harm in just leaving it as it is and just delete the other Meta accounts that I currently can access?

Facebook wouldn't approve any id photo I send them cause the camera on their website always takes blurry photos.

I am trying to recover an old Facebook account that I lost access to a few months ago when I bought a new phone and did not migrate my 2FA key for Facebook, I do not wish to have all my data in Facebook's servers indefinitely so I want to login and delete the account.

However, the problem is that when prompted to upload a government ID to verify my identity, the only way they're offering to upload an ID is to take a photo through their app or website, however the photo always comes out blurry no matter what compared to the stock camera apps on both of my devices, A Galaxy S23 and a Galaxy Tab S7, thus, my ID photos are always rejected.

Where do I go from here? Perhaps it's an issue of the Android client or website? Should I borrow someone's iPhone and try to do the same?

I wouldn't mind if they started a subscription model that makes them enough to keep the thing running and be completely independent from Google.

Ikr? I was under the impression that Mayayo wasn't interested but he probably saw the potential even more so when other former reddit 3rd party apps are switching, potentially bringing a lot of users.

[-] TrickyCamel@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Whats bothering me the most about it is that Reddit is still a valuable source of information for so many things, can't get around a boss fight in a certain older videogame? Yep, there are about 10 threads about it on reddit from years ago.

The amount information on there is big enough that often times many of the top useful search results are in reddit, I hope Lemmy can fill the gap, at least partially but I'm aware that it could years and that's only if the fediverse picks up well enough.

At least they didn't have to suffer for any stretch of time, I hope.

I use Jerboa, it's good but I wonder what other apps could bring to the table. One thing that Jerboa still doesn't have yet is an image viewer, every image link I enter opens up the link in an internet browser and the image loads very slowly, tho that might be cause Lemmy.World image hosting servers are still small and new.

It frustrates me how many people, even ones close to mine are obsessed with this turd. It's gotten worse since he app converted to Islam, now he's the pious and innocent man and his critics are the hypocrites or whatever.

AFAIK they aren't there yet right? Should the developers of lemmy do it or should it be up to the instances to decide whether to do it or how to implement them?
