Last time I wrote a question - probably a couple of months ago. Last time I posted a question .... aaaaages ago.

By the time I get sufficiently frustrated to contemplate asking a question, I find the clarity that comes from stopping and trying to clearly lay out a question usually results in my figuring it out just before I hit post.

It did not. As I say, it was a few months ago, it may have been updated. At the time though, I could select a store and it appeared to populate from a single inventory for the relevant chain.

Still, fingers crossed that gets/got fixed, the idea of the app is good.

I tried the app out a few months ago. Good idea, but at the time it was basing product availability on the chain rather than the store - i.e. it would tell you that any product available at the larger Countdown's was available at all the smaller Countdowns, which is very definitely not the case. I'm assuming that's the sort of thing they'd need help from the supermarket chains to fix.

Just to clarify, are you suggesting that people can't drive 30, 40, 50 kms, park in a building or around the corner and walk an extra few meters?

I tried. Going through that loop convinced neovim is not an ide. It's a means by which someone who wants to build an ide can build one.

If you're one of those people who doesn't want to build an ide, like me, it's not for you.

This has been getting to me for a while. A couple of months ago I stumbled across the gemini protocol - the extension of gopher. I haven't done much in that space as of yet, and I'm not suggesting it's a salve for all the problems talked about in the article here, but I have found it is somewhat of a balm for the soul. A different attitude, to the internet and to a limited extent some of the software.

Extending that mindset into even a small fraction of software development would be refreshing.

Remember kids, if you see someone stealing food or toiletries, no, you didn't.

That, is excellent customer service.

The product is doing it's job. They're not bugging you trying to up sell something, or overcharging when their plan changes and leaving you on the old one. And you never have to talk to them, that, is some top notch customer service right there.

Not up to pie award standards, but I made myself some steak and kidney pies on the weekend. Finally got the pastry so that I can pick it up and eat it properly. Quite happy about that.
