You want to assume good faith and believe in particular that individuals in companies still generally want to behave ethically, then you see #Google proudly declare 99% participation in an #Android program that they auto-enrolled all participants in with no opt-out option. A person wrote that.

@bkuhn @noodles I didn't even bother to check the contract. But they were adamant about it on the phone. It was a slow leak and a short rental, so I did what presumably every previous renter had done and filled it back up and returned it with no further comment. Possibly because I did not pay for any of their extra insurance, yes. But this is a change from the norm earlier in my life that I remember, also without extra insurance.

@noodles @bkuhn You were fortunate -- this just happened to me earlier this year and the rental company told me I was responsible for getting the tire fixed. Mind you I hadn't driven it anywhere yet except from the airport to where I was staying.

It's okay for AI to take over the job of writing Laffy Taffy jokes.

And of course the batteries are branded MedCell. I'm sure they are very special.

The (wearable) heart monitors in this hospital run on regular AA batteries, which don't last even 12 hours. Every day, twice a day, nurses are running around changing batteries. Fortunately, they have nothing better to be doing with their time. :/

in #firefox with #kde, having the icon for " drop down list of open tabs" be the same icon as "minimize window" with not many pixels between them is dumb.

huh, Groupon still exists

@vathpela That too!

Previously confused by job applicants sending resumes with filename "Resume.pdf", now also confused by vendors sending invoices with filename "Invoice.pdf". It's sort of like making a hotel reservation and having your confirmation number be 1. Which is also a thing that sort of happened to me once.
