Replying to @bookingcom
@bookingcom I have used booking.com for years and am now stuck in a miserable customer service loop, hence this desperate plea for help. FOR 9 MONTHS: Cannot reach anyone by phone to help. Emails ignored or punted between departments. Can't log into account.

@bookingcom I understand that you need to obfuscate and put walls around customer support, but the maze of complexity I've gone through to get ZERO support is appalling. Even in today's environment of awful customer support, this is weak. Still can't access my account.

Update: Booking.com is making a lukewarm effort to get me back into my account. I've been bounced from dept to dept and no progress yet, but i am getting occasional emails and that's... something.

Two possible things we'll see in the near future: #1) It becomes clear that Musk has no interest in the issue of free speech except as it pertains to himself. #2) Musk actually attempts to affect social and political change. I suspect we'll see #1, but I fear we might see #2.
This pretty much sums up crypto mentality.

My parents used to pay 50 cents an hour for 14.4kbps internet, it took minutes to connect, and we couldn't use the phone when online. Photos took minutes to load. People who don't remember this have basically no context for where we are in crypto.

Miami water. If you look closely on the right, you can see stacks of cargo containers carrying the latest generative NFTs from China. I’m told you can fit 2,000 bored apes per container.

If we want mainstream adoption of NFTs why do we yell “top signal” when mainstream companies participate?

The tech is new, the users aren’t. Lots of useful lessons to be drawn from the past. <—-my view a year ago. I’m coming to better appreciate how fast the users are changing. Gen Z is digital native. Different expectations, desires, and behaviors.

Brian, this is "Regulation via Litigation". They aren't capable of working through this themselves and are afraid of making mistakes in doing so. They they leave it to the lawyers. Just the people you don't want impacting the new technologies. You have to go on the offensive

@VZWSupport I'm using TravelPass in Argentina. Does it matter what network I'm on? I keep going back and forth between Movistar & Personal!
