privacy sacrifice to use internet in their cavernous dead zone of a building

It was a worthwhile sacrifice, but I’m definitely gonna name & shame! Wouldn’t touch WiFi if it weren’t a dead zone.

Also gave me a chance to complain about some of their other business practices. (Certainly wouldn’t have shopped there if I hadn’t been asked to this one time.)

I’ve never seen this message before so they seem an outlier even in the greedy corporate world. Enough complaints and every once in a while a business changes their practices. Why not whine a little? 🙂

I promise I searched first!

Attempted to post from the website and a mobile app. To test, successfully posted a text post and subsequently the same post with the image uploaded directly to Lemmy.

Guessing some spammer or worse was abusing the feature… did think image proxying was coming which might help…

If this was intended behavior, hope someone can link relevant documentation and perhaps it’ll be more easily found by others in the future. (Used lots of keywords in the title for that purpose!)

This is after forcing login to a store account:

At least they don’t hide in their ToS that:

“l agree to let Walmart monitor my use of Walmart WiFi, including to:

  • Determine my presence in Walmart stores
  • Associate information about me with my Walmart account
  • Improve products and services
  • Gather market insights about my in-store purchases and activities”

But that’s not enough, they need to monitor your internet activity further too.


For further reading, some greatest hits (the section headers on Wiki’s Criticism of Walmart):

  • Local communities
  • Allegations of predatory pricing and supplier issues
  • Labor relations
  • Poorly run and understaffed stores
  • No AEDs in stores (automated external defibrillators)
  • Imports and globalization
  • Product selection
  • Taxes
  • Animal welfare
  • Midtown Walmart
  • Opioids settlement

"I've been on gel that makes you orange for three years but I still greyscalemode in public" (I've been using a gel that makes my skin appear orange for three years, but I still appear in a muted, grayscale-like manner in public)

"My spectral decomposition is too close to homogeneous everyone can see it" (The distribution of colors in my appearance is too uniform and lacking in variety, so it is obvious to everyone)

"I have accepted my fate as an orangecel desaturatoid" (I have accepted my fate as an orange-colored, desaturated and dull version of myself)

"luckchromatic primaroids such as yourself could never understand" (People with normal, vibrant color perception like yourself could never truly understand my experience)

Don’t hesitate to advocate for Universal Basic Income (UBI).

Maybe consider how greedy capitalists will fight back (and to be fair whether life would get more difficult for retail employees).

If IRL stores are just big vending machines, you’d have to get into credit card fraud or something to shoplift 😳

That’s probably a huge hassle - always looking over your shoulder, wondering if your TOR (internet privacy) settings were up to snuff…

tl;dr guillotines

I use predictive text for one thing: emoji. I always, always, always want to see emoji suggested when I type any word or synonym that matches an emoji. Workarounds are not permanent, and using the emoji keyboard or Siri are not optimal. Please allow me to enable predictive emoji in all apps permanently forever. Thank you!

-My feedback to Apple

Feel the same? Submit here:

Also as far as my time estimate, that’s how long there’ve been complaints about the feature. I do know Text Replacements and sending yourself or using emoji repeatedly in a given app are possible workarounds.

Mine: require setting a URL to support password managers. You download an app, go to login, tap the password field, and open Bitwarden. Does it find your login? Half the time, nope! The dev didn’t tell Apple one time what their URL is, so everyone now has to search their password manager every time.

Didn’t all kinds of antiquities get destroyed in Iraq? Totally irreplaceable stuff.

As you alluded, probably common in many places. How sad.

$3.99?! Are we made out of money?! And believe developers deserve to be compensated for their hard work, skills, and knowledge?!

AI Is Poisoning Reddit to Promote Products and Game Google With 'Parasite SEO'

Screw Spez/Musk too? Aight but if a critical mass flees the spam-ridden husks of reddit/Twitter, the bots will come for us too.

I wonder if there's ever been a murder where they found the victim had been forewarned of an attack, but had the killer's number blocked and never saw it.

So simple. So dumb.

“I would estimate that the entire fediverse is developed off of the backs of maybe, at best, 100 engineers,” she said. “All of whom are either low paid, underpaid, or unpaid, who are trying to build software, and at the same time, are supporting the userbase of monthly active users in the range of 1.1 million to 7.4 million.”
