#app navigation

[actual-corpse]

Me: *watching food videos where people make kimchi... makes me want to try kimchi but I don't want to make it unless I know I like it so I look it up in my Walmart associate app*

Me@Walmart: "Talk to customer about finding items faster"

Me: *taps to see what it'll say*

MeWalmart: *INSTRUCTIONS ON GETTING THE WALMART APP (for customers)*

Me: "OH SURE! IF YOUR APP FUCKING WORKED RIGHT WE WOULDNT BE HERE!"

It's a huge pain in the ass when someone uses that janky app. I'd much rather they come to me and never look at the app.

The app WILL NOT tell you if it's available in store unless you know how to use the app. Which is not intuitive.

So I got people who open the stupid app, see the product (that I KNOW for a FACT my Walmart does not carry) and INSIST that I conjure up this thing that they swear they can get because, "it says you have it online."

No. It SHOWS UP online when you search for it. It's like fucking Amazon but worse.

This is what happens. They type it into the search and it comes up.

And they do nothing else. No deeper investigation.

This is what I see in my work app.

Same search terms. (This app is pretty reliable... especially when you use the correct terms)

But can you see the problem?

HOW IS THE AVERAGE CONSUMER SUPPOSED TO JUST INTUIT HOW TO FIND SHIT IN STORE ON YOUR DUMB APP WALMART?!

CUZ I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING DO IT!

When I'm off the clock, I don't go to the consumer app... I go to the work app because it's faster and makes more sense.

My entry for the Beidou Zine!! Really enjoyed taking part in my first Genshin project and I'm happy to be able to share this piece finally :)

#genshin impact #beidou #fanart #kimmy draws #ah another break haha #i'm hoping to get back into making things this year #i drew this about two years ago? #still lots to improve on! #i wanna be more active here but the mobile app feels so bleh to navigate

[jvlianbashir]

i know that others have already commented on this but most of my high school interns are so helpless when it comes to technology that doesn't completely spoonfeed the experience that it is actually terrifying

#tbc our awareness of this means we now spend extra time on these skills but it is a shock at how many cant navigate basics on a desktop #let alone use a program like excel #ppl just assumed these kids would be 'digital natives' and be far ahead of us naturally #but the reality is they grew up on phones and tablets and apps that strongly handhold and control your experience #and computer skills - esp on desktop - are something you have to learn #and that includes learning where to go to try looking for an answer yourself first #not st #doctor's log

im tired of scrolling through my code because java sucks

im going to use evil programming methods

edit: predictably, this broke my code

#im gonna try to explain this in non coding terms #so im using javafx #which lets u do graphics #but u can only do stuff w/ the graphics #in one specific section of code #in one of the multiple files of the project #so its really difficult to navigate #just a wall of spaghetti code... #all java code is spaghetti code to me #even if its efficient #im using brackets to collapse code in the IDE #(IDE is like the platform/app where u do the coding) #which is probably a terrible practice #since it can make things more confusing #and potentially interfere with the functional brackets #~~🍒🌹~~ #coding #computer science #comp sci #java #🍒🌹 rambles

The way that I navigate all social media, especially tumblr these days, is as follows; accept that nobody cares about anyone as an individual outside of consumerism unless you are becoming an entrepreneur in order to turn yourself into something to be consumed, reblog things casually, and move the f*** on

#I can't believe how naive I was navigating this app a couple of years ago #I truly thought I was going to make friends and get a sense of community and be cared about us an individual #I cared around that naivety my whole life and I finally truly understood what this country is actually about #now I haven't had a single friend in about 3 years straight haven't talked to anyone #and realized everything else before was fake #and have come to realize that America is either about becoming the thing to be consumed or to consume #but never about humanity #I hope that my heart gives out soon and it truly felt like it was going to today

the existence of “dating companies” in isat has…. interesting implications

#i know its probably like a not modern version of a dating app #but theres a selling point behind amatonormativity here #i see posts talking about how specific identities are regarded in isat’s world and how asexuality is looked down on in vaugarde #or implied to be #and ka bue’s bit abt banning body craft can be read as government enforced transphobia #like how gender reassignment surgery is limited and out of reach for many trans people irl #but in vaugarde its celebrated #little bits like this are intriguing to me. love how real isats world feels and how the characters have to navigate it #echoed voice

I honestly think Google Maps (and map/navigation apps and appliances in general) is one of humanity's greatest achievements. I can't believe people used to rely on physical maps for everything. As someone with zero sense of direction, without Google Maps my ass would have ended up dead in a ditch years ago lmao

#I have heard the argument that these apps make us WORSE at navigating because we depend on them for everything #but honestly idgiaf you can't tell me that they haven't done so much good for humanity #google maps #technology

[blackholemojis]

Would you ever consider putting all your symbols in a Google doc?

(Anon clarified they meant drive, not doc)

I’ve thought about it, but unfortunately I’ve never had the spoons that I’d need in order to organize it all and update it :(

#You’re definitely not alone with how difficult it is to find things 😅 #my folder in procreate is hard to navigate and there’s no such thing as folders within folders in that app #asks #blackholemojis talks

[prolibytherium]

Companies using """"""""AI"""""""" chatbots in place of customer service (usually with a veneer of pretending you are actually speaking to a real person, which might not be so immediately obvious to more tech illiterate people) pisses me off so bad because they are just SO fundamentally useless. The only information it can tell you is information more efficiently communicated with a FAQ page, and information that is Wrong because current chatbot technology is, in fact, not even slightly 'intelligent' and pretty damn bad at giving accurate answers to anything but the simplest questions.

Like there's no point to it besides hoping onto the flashy artificial 'intelligence' gimmick and paying for less customer service work hours, and so many companies will not only have this feature but make their actual customer service prohibitively difficult to find (and usually involving a labyrinth of automated phone menu systems that you have to navigate correctly in order to get to a person). Makes me want to kill.

#Attempting to navigate support for Uber drivers (not as a customer but like as someone who is fucking working for the company) #is one of the most hellish experiences I have ever had #Because their easily accessible 'driver help' feature is a chatbot and their phone system probably qualifies as a form of torture #Literally you have to figure out the correct sequence of answers to get to a human by trial and error and it will hang up on you if you hit #any number of automated 'dead ends' #There was one time I didn't get paid for a really expensive delivery because the fucking app kept crashing and it's like they're under #the impression that their shitty fucking app is just Too Functional for that to be a potential problem so you have to outright lie to #the phone system to get to a human about this particular issue #Was pacing on the sidewalk for at least 45 minutes feeling the most homicidal I have ever felt in my life before I finally managed #to get to a human and then the answer was 'we can't help you' which like. Yeah #Yeah you can't can you. Yea

[mrtagawa]

Headcanon that Akutagawa fully listens to classical music on a record player, its not even a hip modern one he was helping Hirotsu clear out his attic and made this poor man explain the concept of music to him after he found it.

Cue the two of them sitting around this old dusty record player listening to Bach.

Hirotsu gifts the player to him on his 18th birthday.

#puts the guy in situations #i feel like outside the murder akutagawa has a pretty old soul #and also i just think hirotsu cares more then he says about these silly kids #like i imagine when dazai left he was one of the adultier adults in dazais life that hoped he was safe and happier #anyway none of this akutagawa listens to mcr bullshit #my man can bearly use a phone you think he can navigate a music app? #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd #bsd akutagawa #bsd hirotsu #headcanon #i also think atsushi in a contrast would be really very into modern pop music and honestly? #im an atsushi listens to ''angry" music truther

Hmm, what’s your favorite thing you’ve drawn this year?

I'm still extremely proud of how well I was able to render the gems for this piece

I also just generally enjoy the vibes of this one, even though it didn't 100% turn out the way I had envisioned it

And I'm soooooo happy with how this commission came out, like, genuinely!!

These can all be found under my art tag on my blog, which is linked on my sidebar on desktop, and in the navigation menu on mobile browsers. Good luck if you're using the app.

#Sorry I keep negging the tumblr app at every opportunity but it really is a nightmare for any type of navigation

[bonetrousledbones]

OH RIGHT this is somehow completely unrelated to the last post but i finally got a new desktop theme for This blog which actually works & its actually really really cool and is even compatible with the mobile browser sooooo yall should take a looksie :>

#trousled rambles #on the app that link is just gonna take you to the weak sad loser version. you gotta copy paste in a browser #meanwhile my fellow desktop users will continue to be so strong and so so so so cool with no extra steps <3 #anyway. yeah this is very much Not the 10 year old theme i was talking about earlier this one's like a few months old at most #it has a dark mode and light mode :O which i tried So hard not to make too eye bleedy but i am an awful judge at that #i have it set to dark mode by default so if you flashbang yourself by switching to light mode that's your own fault !!!! #i also have a very half-assed about page and navigation page full of links now. it was very fun to set up actually #its also funny bc i replaced a bunch of icons with papyrus gifs and he is horrifically compressed. just so so small #i'm thiiinking about adding in a music player also but i would have to come up with a way to make it fit Both light & dark mode #so that is a project for another day!!!!!!!!!!! #just like the stupid npf chat thing. i do not have the capacity to keep trying to fix it every two weeks its Fine its FINEEEEE

[freakbullet]

GOD this new layout is FUCK ugly. clicking the activity feed now brings a stupid mini window popup that BLOCKS the view of my dash LOLOL like literally its so fucking bad. it used to be nice and clean because the popup was on the opposite side and didn't obscure anything?? like they literally just wanna look like twitter no matter how hideous and confusing and nonsensical the cost huh

#please i dont use any other social media anymore. please dont make me leave this stupid place too #between the app crashing too much to even be usable #to the whole not being able to actually click the link on a reblog to get to the original post #and now this annoying-to-navigate eyesore? like my muscle memory was already there for everything being on the right #why do this i dont understand

[just-gay-thoughts]

I turned my TV off and 5 minutes later it started play hook? Like girl what are you doing

#gay thoughts #was watching youtube and turned off while still in youtube #so tell me how it someone navigated into the roku app and turned hook on?
