today’s adventure in “being smart (?) in the least-smart way possible…”
– buy the latest song from one of my fave artists on #bandcamp
– order confirmation page loads, click the “download your purchase” link
– select the audio format, look for download button…– look for download button… 🤔
– look for download button… 😕
– look for download button… 😤– “hmm, maybe one of my malvertising blocker extensions has hidden it…
– disable uBlock Origin, reload page…
– 🙅♀️
– disable Privacy Badger, reload page…
– 🙅♀️
– hmm… 😡– “OK, I guess I’ve eliminated all the obvious things, let’s see what that help doc says…” 👀
– click the helpful “Download Trouble” link next to the file format picker to read the help doc… 🔗 🖱️ ✅
– file save dialog opens…
– wait, WHAT???!?!? 🤔
– FILE SAVE DIALOG IS OPEN 😠😡🤬
frens, the track that I just bought is called “Trouble”… 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤪🤪🤪
