so, EFF person goes to work at Yahoo to implement PGP stuffs, and they explicitly do not want your private keys |
02:11
🔗
|
joepie91 |
this could get interesting |
02:12

|
xmc |
hmmmm I saw your twitter post |
02:12
🔗
|
xmc |
that sounds potentially good |
02:12

|
joepie91 |
yes |
02:12

|
joepie91 |
I can see a number of ways in which this could go right |
02:12
🔗
|
joepie91 |
which is a bit of a rarity for Yahoo |
02:13
🔗
|
xmc |
yeah, it's got me confused for sure |
02:13
🔗
|
joepie91 |
honestly, I'm regaining a bit of faith in Yahoo lately |
02:13
🔗
|
joepie91 |
xmc: did I tell you about the customer support thing |
02:13
🔗
|
xmc |
I'm not to that point |
02:13
🔗
|
xmc |
I don't think so? |

joepie91 |

basically, Flickr doesn't let you pick CC0 |

|
joepie91 |
for pictures |
02:13
🔗
|
joepie91 |
only the other CC licenses |
02:13
🔗
|
joepie91 |
so I wanted to contact support to ask about that |
02:14
🔗
|
joepie91 |
and to my amazement, they actually *have* a support department |
02:14
🔗
|
joepie91 |
as opposed to eg. Twitter and Google |
02:14

|

second message amounted to "we;ve forwarded it to the dev team as a low prio ticket" in polite customerservice-y language |
02:14
🔗
|
joepie91 |
I was quite surprised |
02:15
🔗
|
joepie91 |
no endless FAQ mazes either |
02:15
🔗
|
joepie91 |
it lets you pick a main topic, then gives you a list of questions |
02:15
🔗
|
joepie91 |
"my issue is not in the list" jumps you straight to contact form |
02:15
🔗
|
joepie91 |
so yeah, overall, notbad |
02:15
🔗
|
xmc |
maybe they're trying to differentiate themselves that way |
02:16
🔗
|
joepie91 |
if they could just stop baleeting data, perhaps there's hope |
02:16
🔗
|
joepie91 |
well yes, it might explain why they're still around |
02:16
🔗
|
joepie91 |
because I don't think any of the other large internet companies has an actual helpdesk |
02:16
🔗
|
joepie91 |
that is, something where you can speak to a human |
02:16
🔗
|
xmc |
yeah |
02:16
🔗
|
joepie91 |
rather than just being sent on a wild goose hunt through pages and pages of FAQ lists and questions |
02:16
🔗
|
joepie91 |
only to be told "sorry, we can't help you" |
02:16
🔗
|
joepie91 |
(yes Twitter, looking at you) |
02:17
🔗
|
joepie91 |
but yeah, if they stopped baleeting user data, I might actually consider liking them |
02:17
🔗

joepie91 |
they've been cranking up their engineering lately as well, it doesn't look and behave like something from the 90s anymore |
