Hell I have the app on my phone, but yesterday, I received a ticket for an event, accepted it, and downloaded it to my phone without using that app at all.
I think OP is misunderstanding what is happening. The code changes every so often, probably to prevent people from passing around a screen shot and trying to get in that way. You can get the ticket without the app.
I think it’s more like they thought they were supposed to do that. I’m guessing they had no idea what to do, and putting an object in trash or recycle is something everyone understands, so that’s what their brain told them to do.
Back in the early 1990s, I worked at a small-town hardware store chain (nuts and bolts, not computers) that was computerizing. A few weeks after we rolled it out, a customer came in with two gift certificates to purchase one item.
It seems pretty basic now, but using two gift certificates to purchase one item was simply not a requirement anyone had thought of. The system had no way to ring it up. The assistant manager of the store did the smart thing and rung it up as a gift certificate plus cash for the balance, so that the customer was good to go. They had to do some adjustments on the back end for that one sale and then update the software to allow for that situation.
I always remember that when I’m working on requirements for systems, wondering what obvious things we’re not thinking of…
Yeah, same here - except it was on a PC jr. I hit save so often that one program actually balks at me now and then. (It’s just a fussy program, most don’t care and do the save.)
I’ve never used Rust, but this definitely reminds me of my days running Slackware on my computers.
Oh, hey, I’d like to run this new package. Great. I’ll need this dependency…and that one…and the one over there…
I know it now has dependency management, but I just couldn’t do it any more. I was tired of worrying about what was going to break. I started with Slackware in the 3.x days, too.
I switched my server to Debian, and I feel like I never have to worry about it any more. Laptop and desktop are both Kubuntu, but they’re going to go to Debian at some point in the near future.
Plot twist: Kirk wins and claims her as his own, and takes her on the Enterprise.
I have an unlocked Galaxy S21 that I bought off Amazon, and I’ve never seen an ad for a new phone in my notifications.
My first thought was maybe the ad was from OP’s service provider, not Samsung, but it definitely looks Samsung-generated. Not that the providers wouldn’t do the same thing…
Because they can’t find it? It’s tiny, it flew off into the distance…for all we know, there are a dozen science ships looking for it during the entire DS9 run.
It’s a huge universe, why would this particular entity have to show up in another episode? It could be off exploring the Gamma quadrant.
But season 7 was the last season of TNG. DS9 was busy with other things and Voyager was elsewhere.
Well, we also didn’t get the Eugenics wars or WWIII, both of which killed millions, so this time line isn’t all bad.
I am often amazed by the aggressively-driven minivans I see. It’s like they’re upset they’re driving a minivan, and taking it out on the rest of us, or something. I don’t know.
I mean, I see plenty of other aggressively-driven vehicles as well, but the minivans always stand out because they seem like pretty much the antithesis of a vehicle you would expect to be driven aggressively. No one is buying a minivan for the performance, handling, or cool factor.
I don’t have anything against minivans - they’re extremely useful vehicles for hauling people or things and reasonably fuel-efficient while doing it.

The smaller subs (such as for specific hobbies) do not have the same momentum here on Lemmy. That’s probably why.
There’s a line in the episode around that point:
“At what point did he become an individual, and not a transporter accident?”
But that’s the whole point of the episode - it’s a moral quandary with no real “right” answer. It’s Hugh of Borg all over again.
Upending the crews schedules doesn’t seem like a great way to generate efficiency to me. It’s like the daylight saving time switch, everyone would be messed up for a few days.
Route him into Lake Michigan. At least he’ll avoid killing innocent people!
Though that wasn’t established to be O’Brien, for the initial accident, I think.
Great username, by the way.
I’ve had better luck at a real lumber yard, instead of the big box stores.
