I agree, Blorp sucks. I used it, and really wanted to love it. I thought it had great potential despite the issues I’ve had, and how definitely mid it is ATM. But thanks to you posted about it here, OP, and their subsequent comments, I now know that the developer doesn’t deserve my support or recommendation, so thanks for that.
I’m now commenting from a different app.
Bye bye Blorp!
Yeah, stop with that BS and pretend you’re a developer and not an emotionally immature grade school student.
In their complaint they mention specific issues, be an adult and identify those for yourself.
If they are problems you can resolve add them to your own to-do list, cause that’s what responsible adults do, if they aren’t problems you can solve then dismiss the complaint, cause they aren’t relevant to you.
You aren’t gonna come off like some rock star developer disregarding complaints about bugs in your software by getting defensive and specifically choosing to ignore an issue cause you don’t like the person presenting it or the service they are using to do so.
Grow the fuck up!
Seems aight, I’m fine with FF ATM though.
I do keep alternates around for rare issues, so when helium is out of beta if it ever is, I may install it.
Honestly, I’d just create a new account/alias and carry on as normal. Maybe bounce around between a couple accounts on different instances, retiring any and replacing it if it gets too much negative heat.
Could always keep your icon or part of an alias name if you want them to be recognizable, but I wouldn’t bother personally.
Fresh starts are nice.
Projection for cars?
Superficially it looks pretty good, but there are some details I didn’t find handy. For $400 I expect to be able to switch roms and batteries, and for the storage to be decent (not sure what kinda storage they run).
If it tests out to be durable enough for 4 years it might be worth the $400, but that’s a gamble for those who just have to have a keyboard and don’t care about much else.
For comparison, the other device linked here (Comet) is $250ish and has some swappable parts, including gaming controls. And I think that’s overpriced too. Considering neither are tested and known quality tools.
Well, for $50 I’d buy it, maybe $10-20 per addon depending on complexity. For $200-250 it’s way too underpowered and far too untested to justify.
Neat concept though.
I got into a fight in a bar, and some guy showed up, intervened, then hung out and kinda insisted I follow in my father’s footsteps. I was like, meh, but I had nothing better to do, so I signed up.
You haven’t seen muppet porn yet…
I have a Feb 5th update for the s25 that’s info suggests it might be making this change too.
Suddenly, I don’t really feel like updating.
I was already concerned any future updates would add more AI BS I don’t need. So I probably wasn’t going to update it anymore anyway.
So, who profits from this?
What is a Zionist and why does one thirst for blood.
It’d actually be cool if I could verify age with one service and receive an anonymous auth token and create a pin or password, then just use those everywhere to verify age.
Or put it in my password manager and auto fill the BS on request.
All without sharing any private or identifying info with the service.
Currently I either just don’t use web services that require age verification, or I use a VPN to bypass them.
Join or support a co-op or credit union today.
Preferably a non-profit, but even most for-profit co-ops are a huge step in the right direction where W+ is concerned.
Interstellar appears to do that, but I hated it, so I’m not gonna test and verify it for ya.
The gurl is a bot, and can read and relate to all earth plays in a day of gleeful scanning. Pretty sure she can experience growth from child to teen, then download and integrate a year at the academy and process that input with the new perspective, then move forward still being the same person, just being more complex as a result of the upgrade.
The biggest issue with her 17 year childhood is that she appears to be alone with one other hologram on a starship, which wouldn’t exactly allow her to experience and process many normal experiences for people living in communities with mortal folk and pets n such–unless they added life like simulations, other school students, neighbors of varying ages and attitudes, pets that die…
She needed opportunity to deal with real world stresses as they typically increase in severity with age, but she just seemed to get a very performative and sheltered 17 year biological development cycle added to her program.
Seemed to miss the mark by a mile.
Met at a place called Freak Manor.
They sat on me nude while people drew on them with permanent markers.
Being able to win a primary does not equate to be electable. It just shows party preference. To be elected the candidate needs to be preferred by all voters.
Smart parties pick the best endgame player.
Like a sports team winning early games in a national competition, that doesn’t mean they are good enough to walk away the champions.
Overall fitness, excellence, and likability must be considered vs the other opponents on the final ballot.
The truest of US winners.
I don’t expect it to bring change, but that wasn’t a rant. Neither was the OP.
And, besides, a responsible developer wouldn’t be on ‘unpopularopinion’ policing the language of the complaints made by their basic apps users either.
So I suppose we’re going to remain at this expected impass indefinitely. Because…
I’ve been in customer service my whole adult life. Every product, whether service, or app, or device, will see mostly complaints as their primary feedback.
It is simply human nature for a person to not mention a thing that works well vs actually act or speak out in response to issues that they encounter.
A lot of the time the customer is going to be frustrated while doing that, and that will be reflected in their tone and language. And that should be expected, and thus allowed.
It is in the best interest of manufacturers and producers and service providers to look to those complaints intentionally for resources to improve their products or services. And to do so with the knowledge and acceptance that their customers are possibly pissed off, frustrated, drunk, speakers of another language, or, and this is the most important one, not professionals in the relevant field.
Are you a professional developer? If so maybe you know how to use GitHub, or even what it is. Not everyone downloading a social media app on Play is going to know any of that, nor should they have to learn about it to complain when they have an issue.
This is a small platform made of primarily open source tools as a service to humanity by mostly good meaning folk. Inclusivity is important. And that means being accepting and welcoming to the less tech savvy. And understanding of their frustration when they have tech issues.
So, if you or any dev or service provider or manufacturer of any sort wants to thrive, I suggest learning to listen more, and police your customers less. They don’t tend to respond well to that, especially if they are already frustrated or disappointed because of something you are responsible for.
It’s a topsy tervy world where a customer has to concern themselves with a business opinion of them rather than the other way around.
And even if the service provided is free, or just a pet project, it’s still being produced and provided in a world where these things are true.
Regardless, I’ve migrated away from Blorp and will no longer be recommending it’s use. I’m actually going to be recommending against it. And who knows, maybe I am somebody, maybe me recommending a app tends to lead to mass adoption? It’s hard to tell.
