My old person trait is that I think companies should finish software before they ship it.
My old person train is that I think software should come with manuals.
@Nick_Stevens_graphics ... that are complete and correct.
@SmartmanApps Can't hurt, but I like 'em grepable.
We don't even get PDF versions these days...
@Nick_Stevens_graphics @zxm @zxm And in particular, should have OFFLINE versions, not just "online" manuals. I'm looking at you, @Blender during the November DDOS attack. (But not only at you.)
I don't consider that old person thinking, just thoughtfulness. DDOS attacks aside, ISP outages and even people lacking convenient 24/7 access aren't exactly unheard of, even today.
@zxm
Iโm in this picture, & donโt deny it. I want everyone to know Iโm in this picture.
But do I LIKE it? Hell, no, I do not.
i am an old person and i approve of these messages!
@zxm
My old person trait is that I think that any job should pay you enough to live and save up and buy a house.
Doesn't matter if it's 'unskilled labor', pumping gas, working a cash register, flipping burgers. You should be able to live off of it.
(OTOH, my socalist trait would be that I don't think you should *have* to live off it...
)
I recall all of these
Yep yep and yep, etc.
My old person trait is that I donโt think phones should be for anything other than calls and texts.
Damn Iโm ancient.
@zxm 3 of the above 4 - I don't use phones to talk.
I also believe that if you've bought & own a product, you should be fully allowed to repair said product.
On phones calls & emails or text messaging I also believe that any & all privacy rights that exist on landline phone calls & regular mail, should exist for those forms of communication which have largely replaced the older one's. Cellphone line vs landline shouldn't in any way be considered different from each other.
Chronologically I don't think most would consider me old, as I'm an older millennial....
@zxm Iโve just ordered a new printer rather then go through this:
โAlright Anna, a problem like yours is a bit complex and requires some cooperation and patience from your end too. I need your cooperation and interaction to solve the issue. Hope you are available now.โ
Iโve had this one for less than 2 years.
Also, if I could afford a lawn, I'd want you kids to get off it. Harrumph.
