I know the effect is negligible but isn’t that just stealing
It would be theft if the user was bypassing payment-gated credentials, but that is not the case here.
Is it just me or are people getting too stuck in a Manichean mindset about this kind of thing? This reads like an alcoholic complaining about a work happy hour or something. Just, don't use the social media stuff.
>For the longest time, my LinkedIn bio was “I HATE LINKEDIN.”
OP kind of just seems insufferable. Touch grass.
I hate the "ubiquity" of social media. For me, it's not social media conceptually that's the issue, it's that Meta and others are not good companies. They exist by doing their best to get me addicted to their feeds. It's not healthy. Whether or not there's a non-harmful way to do social media is unknown (by me, at least).
We're just counting down to being unable to exist without a smartphone on your person at all times. What a dystopia.
I posted about it yesterday, I think.
Right?
Unfortunately, I think it's already impossible to attend major events without a phone, at least if it's a major event at a stadium. Smaller venues still send out emails with QR codes we can just print out.
Being negative gives people something to talk about.
An excellent portal to accept a fictionalized ai slop version of "your" experience. Make it long, and maybe put a recipe at the bottom.
I think a story of how you saw a dude drying off his gluteal cleft with the hand dryers in the locker rooms would be an appropriate "experience" if the payment is nothing.
Update: It was hard to find because it was titled, "I accidentally became PureGym’s unofficial Apple Wallet developer"
I similarly reject apps and QR menus in restaurants, airlines, etc. If you can't be bothered to give me a paper menu, I can't be bothered to eat in your establishment.
I love being able to do things like this and rip out the crap being forced down our throats.
The person at the front desk was absolutely no help and could have been replaced with a sign that said, "you can do everything in the app."
For the last part, it’s maybe not the best idea to put a link "GitHub & CV" at the bottom then ;)
No. They pay for a gym membership, there is literally nothing to steal from the social media feed in the door-unlocking app.
