Autism@lemmy.world•How to deal with holding phone calls?English
2·15 days agoYeah it can be frustrating. I can’t remember the amount of times I had to call an utility company just because their bill was incorrect.
I suppose most people don’t really double check these things, but if my bill is randomly 50% more, then you can expect me to ask for rectification.

Autism@lemmy.world•How to deal with holding phone calls?English
3·15 days agoYeah, i did notice that some places when put on hold don’t have waiting music.
But what I’m talking about is usually at the beginning of a call, where you just pressed some buttons to be put in the queue. Then you have music and didn’t talk to anybody yet, so no option to ask for no music.
Ideally it would be put into law that for accessibility all these phone systems should offer the option to turn off the music at the beginning.

9·15 days agoI’ve heard about socks for obfuscation of vpn traffic, but never understood how to configure it. Is it possible to use socks with your own wireguard server, or with some free/cheap vpn?

0·15 days agoApparently they made 1 other game called Clockwork Empires. Never tried it though, and from the looks of the steam reviews, it might not be worth it to try.

0·15 days agoSad to hear. It was fun little game. I really liked the balance they struck between making things silly and still interesting to play. The game is also filled with references to other media and games. They also added a lot of quality of life things, like filtered crafting and autolooting, while not convieniencing away all the fun.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?English
0·15 days agoI bounced off from it when trying it on release. For some reason I had a lot of stuttering and it made the game feel nauseating, but I liked the gameplay. Not sure if that was a problem at release or my hardware has some issues. Other games seems to be ok, and my gpu is definitely not that bad.

I’m doing that right now, didn’t find any difference yet, but I’m replaying through the game for the first time since a few years.

Autism@lemmy.world•How to deal with holding phone calls?English
1·15 days agoWhen I was living in Europe, I was basically using anything but phone. Usually email worked or support via the website. Now in Australia, the support via website/email is very often not functional, so I’m forced to call people.
Can’t say it’s an enjoyable experience, but I suppose it’s teaching me to try and do more via phone. I struggle a lot though.

Autism@lemmy.world•How to deal with holding phone calls?English
5·15 days agoYeah exactly.
Usually I try online support first, but in some situations you get a person that doesn’t understand your question or doesn’t forward you to somebody with the right knowledge and you still spend way too much time on it. Calling would be better in that case, but it’s hard to know beforehand.It also stresses me out that they have these chatboxes on websites, where (after trying to find the correct response to get a human) they will take 10-15 minutes to reply you, but then if you don’t reply within 2 minutes, they assume you are no longer there and close the chat. Why even?

1·15 days agoUnfortunately not on iOS here, that sounds like a great feature though.
Did you ever have people hang up when using that? You just get a notification as soon as somebody starts speaking?

Autism@lemmy.world•How to deal with holding phone calls?English
6·15 days agoSounds very similar to my experience.
Email is much better, but some services either don’t offer the option at all, or they reply to it very slowly.

Autism@lemmy.world•How to deal with holding phone calls?English
6·15 days agoYeah, it just feels so exhausting to me every time. I definitely prefer the callback option, but I might still miss it if they call back much later and I already forgot about it. Then I have to call again and ask for a new callback.

1·16 days agook, that makes more sense.
So basically just copy the post content in a new post to the other community.The only disadvantage I can think of is that piefed is supposed to combine the comments of cross-posts to other communities right? Does that feature also only work with link posts?

1·16 days agoThanks, would be nice to see this in the future.
So for now, should I just copy the link of my post and post it as a link post to other communities? Will that cross-post correctly?

Maybe they are doing it ahead of the stop killing games legislative changes that are happening in some us states? If this goes through before they stop destiny, they might be required to make the game content available for people to host themselves or play offline.
