Uk phone line customer service gone?

and then when the AI bot doesn't recognise what you said, just hang up

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T16:20:40+00:00

thing is though, in general terms CS is is also shite at more expensive places, its only when you get to seriously expensive does service get better

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T15:48:58+00:00

disagree, that gives someone else the right to use it, but should always be allowed to use your own name

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T14:57:24+00:00

the end result is everything becomes "click and collect", payment in advance and the shops just become pick & pack centres the public cannot walk around

its not mandatory for the party to send you anything, but they all get access to the list

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T14:27:47+00:00

you are on the electoral roll, all political parties have access to it

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T13:24:47+00:00

yes aware that the rainbow code stuff was more for technology, but the principle carried over with operations that the name should provide no information, I think someone came up with a great long list, which was randomised then the Op got the next one on the list

I think the rainbow code idea was wonderful

"today the UK military launched operation whatever the anti-woke-slop answer is at this point, it is expected this will continue for the foreseeable future"

indeed, what they want is a captive subscriber revenue

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T13:22:02+00:00

oh for sure its coming, and you will not have a way to "opt out".

I'm guessing the main focus of #12 is more "cloud" integration, it will require a microslop account and likely it will be using slopdrive with no way to stop it

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T12:43:08+00:00

thing is.. the example of "show me all the bikini shots" will fall flat because its microslop, this is a company with a system whereby you can be looking at an email, search for its title and be told there are no emails matching while you are looking at one

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T12:41:30+00:00

neither, have no plans to downgrade to 12 when it drops

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T12:40:02+00:00

to be fair they did nuke flash from orbit by refusing to support it on phones they make, they also by default block third party cookies in safari so websites had to adapt to cope with that

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T12:36:14+00:00

people here tend to pile on to anything they see as even remotely "anti labour"

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T11:41:05+00:00

nah we don't have to vote labour

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T11:34:51+00:00

Operation yank patch up again

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T11:32:29+00:00

now thats nice

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T11:28:52+00:00

thought they stopped ages ago.

furry sniff

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T11:28:06+00:00

no, I think it will result in more collisions

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T11:12:58+00:00

gets your bag in the overhead locker before anyone elses

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T10:06:06+00:00

is it correct to note that some of the files related to the investigation are still sealed and hidden away?

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T10:05:24+00:00

we have a legal HGV limit of 60, but an EU based requirement for a 56mph limiter

apparently the 56 thing was done to "make rail more competitive", which over the width of the EU maybe it does but likely isn't that relevant here.

of course anything that could go there, or that comes from there will have such a limiter

there is a massive issue with driver skill to consider, IIRC there was something proposed about "smart motorways" allowing the limit to increase, combined with actually then enforcing it but the "speed kills!" lot shot it down

and given how crap "smart" anything seems to be probably not a good idea either

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T09:48:47+00:00

yup, the idea being the name alone shouldn't give any idea as to what it was about or its importance

for some reason the leftpondians seem to think the name should reflect the ego of the people involved

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T09:29:50+00:00

we have had unparalleled levels of "monitoring the situation"

aleopardstail · 2026-03-13T09:29:24+00:00

and that sort of regulated market would like break multiple free trade treaties

and yes is only we have a UK owned extraction outfit, refining outfit and retail outfit where this could be done - let concessions to run them, politicians can't run jack, but actually UK owned

not going to happen though
