Grumpy Northerner ex-πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§, now in πŸ‡³πŸ‡± where there are fewer Brexiters, TERFs and other fascists [citation needed]. Spends most waking hours swearing at computers. Thank Cthulhu for beer! Got a non-buttcoin πŸ¦€ gig? Ping me.

Account is only locked to keep out bots etc, and follow requests from humans are almost always accepted, even if I don't know you. Try not to look like a spambot.

Who wants to see the goth tomatoes? This variety is called Queen of the Night. It’s kicking arse. #gardening
To USAns everywhere: happy July 4th! Or as we call it here in the UK, Thanksgiving day!

Great place to go for a roll, although the sheets are crusty.

So Rabobank has decided that a year after getting their bollocking from Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens for a previous spam run and failure to respond to a GDPR request ordering them to account for themselves, enough time has passed that they can start spamming me again at an email address they scraped from an unrelated purpose. Time to start looking for a new bank, I guess.

The author has made a bizarre conceptual leap between a small software business saying they don't support a particular operating system and declining an offer to "help it grow", and deciding that the business is clearly fixated on growth and selling out in an "exit strategy dream".

The operating system is not named, but if an Internet rando came to me and asked me if I supported Windows, I'd say no and if they also stalked me on LinkedIn, I'd decline their request. I don't care to be helped to grow in that direction Thank You Very Much.

It'd be about as sensible a request as if they invited me to come and fix their backed-up drains and perhaps enter into a plumbing partnership. Which still involves not as much wading through shit as Windows does.

Most likely, given it's Fediverse: the leftmost picture is the same room, three years after the rightmost picture.

.ai is the top level domain for phoning it in.

Absolutely no problems have happened before with a 52/48 vote to leave a union.

If going through the customer-deterrence firewall takes longer than writing a formal snottygram telling them to stop taking the piss and setting out a deadline and/or monetary value to settle the matter, I take the latter approach. I don't know if this sort of customer correspondence is actually handled by the legal department, but it often has a similar effect.

If a second letter turns out to be necessary, it is definitely handled by the legal department because it contains the headline "LETTER BEFORE ACTION". It's amazing how efficient a company's customer service becomes at that point.
