- You arent allowed to bring any food home. In fact the server stays by your table, uncomfortable close, and watches you to make sure none of the food you’ve already paid for is “stolen”.
- The restaurant reserves the right to ban anyone not following rules. They do not need to tell you which rule you broke. Also the rules are secret. They frequently brag to media about how many “rule-breakers” they’ve banned.
“The restaurant is free to come in and sit down at a table. If you want to choose something from our specials menu, we charge $15 a month. If you want to choose from our full Ala Carte menu, it’s $35 a month.”
“Oh, I’ve never been here before, I’m not sure if I’ll like it or want to come back. Can I just pay for tonight?”
“If you pay yearly, it’s 20% off.”
“That’s not what I aske…”
“Why don’t you come in for a free entree?”
“Free?”
“I’ll just need your credit card details, you can cancel any time.”
“…”
“Offer expires in 39 minutes.”
And if you want to know what’s in the food you can! Only $9.99 per month extra!
Just as you’re about to take a bite of your burger, you bite into a pop-up salad and now you have to pay for it too.
My workplace unfortunately uses Microsoft Teams and last week I got a modal popup which said “Your organization is switching to the new Teams.” with a singular button “Switch to the new Teams”.
No close button, no maybe-later button, and I needed to get into a fucking meeting.
I quickly tried to remove the popup via browser tools, but it wouldn’t easily budge.
I saw in the background that there was a toggle for switching, so I bit the bullet and clicked that button, hoping it would still work afterwards and if not, that there would be a toggle to switch back.It changed to a loading screen, then refreshed, and I was presented with said new Teams.
What is new Teams? I still have no clue. They applied some slightly different CSS styling, otherwise it seems to be exactly the same.
the removed like half of the features (including mic tray), removed ukrainian localization (which my mom relied on), removed the option to disable hw acceleration (which is borked with my specific gpu in chromium and results in extremely blurry text and ghosting artifacts) and switched to ms edge webview from chromium (so if you’re using windows and uninstall edge, it won’t start)
Doesn’t seem worth making a lot of fuss over adding a “new” label.

On my work computer this causes all the shadows and such behind windows to flash. Various other UI elements flash too. It’s extremely annoying.
yeah some stuff that’s on top of new teams video freds flashes. e.g. if i put a cursor or a window shadow over any other participant’s video feed it does that.
They’re in a lawsuit with slack about monopoly. They can’t sell it bundled with 365 in the EU anymore, and they appear to be planning to separate it Globally. That’s the most generous reading, but Microsoft forces annoying changes all the time, so it may just be Microsoft being Microsoft. Also new teams installs very differently than teams, especially if using virtual desktops with either nonpersistent machines and/or using FSLogix, which is irritating from a support perspective. Imagine having to reinstall teams every time you reboot (there are ways around it, but we had to track them down unexpectedly and our client wasn’t happy).
They’re changing a bunch of things about how the Office apps work. They’re doing a similar thing with Outlook. There’s also now “New Outlook” that they push you towards, which looks a little bit fresher yet is also missing features from the last version.
I’m assuming they’re changing something architecturally about how the apps are put together, but the only thing I’ve actually seen is the bugs and all the headaches that come from migrating everybody to what’s basically a brand new app.
I despise new outlook. They removed spell check and secure messaging! When I posted about it in the Microsoft forum they said they don’t plan on adding those back in the near future. What the actual fuck Microsoft?!
Wow, sounds amazing. Also the base burger will be free, but that just includes the plate. For buns, patties, salad, cheese and anything else you’ll be charged extra, adding up to about tenfold the outright price and you’ll be incentived to help their business by bringing in a friend so you both can get free cheese.
edit: fixed phrasing
The plate is also served with a 56 page Burger Consumer Licensing Agreement.
End User Burger Agreement
Just your standard BCLA, forced arbitration, etc.
Wtf are all those icons christ
I assume it’s a furry mastodon instance thing because I looked up the Ninji person and they admit on their website to being a fursuiter.
Edit: it was their mastodon bio that said that.
I believe the interface being show is from a Misskey instance. It’s like Mastodon but a lot more customizable
Fair. I’ve never interacted with Misskey, so I have absolutely no clue how it looks.
admit
Admit or more like proudly declare was it?
Those are misskey reactions, seems people decided to add a lot
There are also duplicates with a count of 1 next to both
Those are probably ones from different instances
What icons? I’m not seeing any such things. What am I missing out on and why?
OP edited them out after posting for whatever reason
Also when you are starting to answer the mayo question, the waiter suddenly asks you something totally unrelated and takes mayo answer to be for that question.
New horror movie concept
Y’all are making software companies sound insane.
As a software developer, they are
The developers don’t get to decide things like this. It’s the business folks in charge
How does this mirror modern software?
You’ve never encountered the dark pattern choice in modern software where you want to say “No” but theres no such option? And the software keeps asking you occasionally? Windows got a lot of them. Lately they’ve been trying to get me to move my documents folder to onedrive, and they change the wording and button position every time they ask. Neither choice is “No”. Phone social apps often have “Invite friends” or “Import contacts”, and “Maybe later” instead of “No”. Cookie consent rarely has a straight “No” button either even though they should.
Yeah I’ve encountered dark patterns, but I guess since I rarely touch windows, the weird part about the chef threatening me doesn’t make sense
In case you want to see the post on @ninji@wuffs.org’s profile, here it is.
So they ordered it from Mr. Mayo’s shop.
When you write a tip on the bill it unfolds to reveal you have just answered "tip this many litres of mayo on my food ".
The waiter whips the bill away and says “your selection has been saved for all future orders for your convenience”.
When your food is delivered, you are only allowed to look at it and praise it while your friends are listening. Turns out you do not own the food. Keeping the plate on your table requires a recurring subscription fee each minute.
The first time they bring the plate, it’s always just the plate with a brick on it, covered by an apology letter and a roadmap that delineates how they plan to improve your meal over the next half year. You have paid in full at this point.
Every time someone says “come” you get mayo.
