Dear devs,
It's NEVER ok to lock people out of a webapp because their User-Agent doesn't match your predefined list. 😡

Sigh. 150/yr now for my remote start to work, now that I’m off promo, because I can’t independently buy the add on without the base I don’t want. Thanks, Subaru.
Home sweet home.

"Woke mind virus" is how billionaires describe the idea that you should give even the tiniest bit of a shit about how your actions will affect other people.
Qatar airways business class for my first international trip by air might have spoiled me for good. Holy smokes.
