#newandimproved — Public Fediverse posts

I just renewed my vehicle registration/insurance. We have a provincial crown corporation here that has a monopoly on it.

I ran into a problem with their "new & improved!" website [1]. I always do. This one is boring; like 90% of the issues I run into, it's because the developers have only tested the site with Chrome, and they're violating CORS policy (a security thing) so Firefox prevents a request trying to fetch part of the page contents. Chrome doesn't give a damn, it doesn't want to stop any trackers or anything.

But the 🧑‍🍳 😘 in the whole thing is ... there are various "Feedback" links and buttons. I want to report the issue, so I try them, and ... they haven't actually provided the HREF attribute on the links/buttons at all. They are literally not hooked up to anything.

Good testing on the new site, boys! You sure you didn't miss testing any of the functionality?

[1] Why companies absolutely insist on regularly improving their websites into unusability escapes me. As I mentioned elsewhere, it's not like the HTML of the working site has a best-before date on it.

Why is it that we are so surprised and affronted by politicians openly lying and exaggeration in order to get elected? Our whole economic system is based on the the big lie and the little lie: new and improved, driven by a little old lady, global warming isn't real, smoking doesn't cause cancer … #PoliticiansLying #Exaggeration #EconomicSystem #BigLie #LittleLie #NewAndImproved #LittleOldLady #GlobalWarming #SmokingDoesntCauseCancer
