#NewMexico is apparently considering limiting #IPRA requests, or charging for them. There's an article related to that in the current publication of the State Bar -- which is locked behind the most horrifying webzine app I've ever seen. Click on one of the links in https://www.sbnm.org/News-Publications/Bar-Bulletin/Current-Bar-Bulletin-Issue-Archive (with sound turned on) to experience it.
The only bright side: the download link in the bottom toolbar, which generates a PDF.

This dogshit zero information design is taking over everything and it sucks
This design looks so cheap to me, it’s just a bunch of random covers, there is no information about the movies presented in any way, the covers are way too big and take up an inordinate amount of space and there is nothing breaking up sections, design is just so fucking dumb now, fuck mobile
rant over 😅

Nice one #Bunnings I put an order in this evening for 7 items to be delivered, completed the paypal checkout like usual and the bunnings page displays "error" right after, so now it seems the payment has come out of my account but bunnings system has no record of the sale as their database "chucked a spaz" right when my payment was going through.. Lucrative little error that one, free cash for the corporation without having to supply the goods as their account accepts my payment happily while saying "what sale?"...
Needless to say I'll be following up till I get every dollar back.
Why do this to customers? Hire someone who knows how to code a back-end properly FFS. 😡

I can't imagine I would ever want a website to send me a notification. Glad I found the setting to disable Safari prompts for this. #BadWebsites

So, the site I use to watch cartoons and anime has decided to only show the first 5 minutes of the before blocking the rest of the video behind a pay wall. This site is a less than legal method of watching these shows and this is a pretty bad move. I will have to find a new place to watch them now. #badwebsites

Tire, a creator who makes content online, expresses frustration towards common marketing strategies that prioritise short-term metrics like clicks and subscriptions over genuine user experience and long-term customer loyalty. He criticises the use of intrusive pop-ups and other aggressive tactics that disrupt the browsing experience, arguing that they may increase certain performance indicators but ultimately degrade trust and satisfaction among users.
He points out that these tactics, often justified by marketers with the phrase “but it works,” fail to consider the user’s feelings or foster any real engagement or sales. Instead, they focus on superficial gains such as gathering email addresses or short-lived interactions, which do not translate into meaningful or lasting relationships with customers. Tire illustrates this with personal experiences of being bombarded with unwanted subscriptions and manipulative marketing after purchasing items from online platforms like Cogan, which has led him to stop buying from them altogether.
Tire urges businesses to consider the long-term impact of their marketing strategies and to focus on building trust and providing value to customers rather than relying on deceptive or forceful tactics. He emphasises that genuine interest and readiness to purchase, shown by actions like requesting a quote or adding items to a cart, are the true indicators of potential sales, not just the accumulation of email addresses or clicks.
He also criticises inbound marketing agencies that promote these aggressive tactics, accusing them of selling overpriced and complicated services that do not necessarily result in actual sales or customer loyalty. Instead, they leave businesses with nothing more than lists of uninterested contacts and a false sense of success.
In conclusion, Tire advocates for a more honest and customer-focused approach to digital marketing, encouraging businesses to play the “long game” by building relationships based on trust and mutual benefit rather than exploiting quick and easy tricks that might seem effective in the short term but ultimately lead to dissatisfaction and disengagement. He invites anyone interested in improving their digital strategies to reach out to him for advice and support.
