Yeah 2019 when they got bought by Onex. Been crappy since then. Better than other airlines, but that is a low bar. Westjet dollars now changed to points, so now they can manipulate points prices for flight discounts instead of dollar for dollar. Like just finding every way for me to choose a competitor airline.

Its like every CEOs goal is : how can I crash this company into the ground while still having a parachute jump out point.

Like Sonos, amazing sound, a good application to go with it and the CEO is like you know what we need: a one way app upgrade where everything is broken, features are removed and the UI looks like an ADHD dartboard plan was used. (No offense to ADHD sufferers). oh profits went into the red? That's weird. A year or more later and its still a broken app. How??

This is the path Westjet is on.

I mean if you had a full data set of known allergies and millions of DNA of people that have and don't have allergies, you may find a genetic correlation of people susceptible. But there's too many environmental factors that would alter that anyway.

But I know the type you mean. On Facebook, a lady contacted my wife claiming she could detect our dog's allergies with a few photos of our dog. LOL.

At least the vets method of sending away a blood sample for testing, and generating a report did give us food alternatives that stopped our dogs allergies.

Dark theme is hard to read in a brightly lit open office with sunshine. Your pupil contracts and then dark stuff become really hard to make out, especially interfaces where they have blue in black.

Thankfully my GNOME desktop has a toggle of light dark that is super accessible, and I can swap as the lighting conditions change in my office.

I like bookmarks because I can categorize them into drop down menus that make sense to me.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

In that use-case: Sounds like bookmarks need a feature upgrade

They have those e-ink pricing labels now. They can't legally do surge pricing (yet), buy what they have been testing on some products is setting the price high, and then daily its a different sales price.

When I go for the same soymilk product I never know if it's going to be $8.50 or $3.50, or anywhere in between. Regular price is set at $9ish.

I just leave if its high and go to Walmart nextdoor, where its $5 every day
