Upgraded to Liquid Ass™️ iOS update. Honestly, looks great (for now) but now there is the return ONCE AGAIN of “noise level” notifications, reminding me that I really should lower the volume in order to protect my hearing and save the children (probably). There’s no way to turn these off currently, it seems.
I would of course protect my hearing…IF I HAD SOME
Context: am profoundly deaf and wear hearing aids

Apropos my #TechIsShitDispatch threads…
If you are involved in any way with building #software, and you care about quality, for God's sake, give your users a way to submit feedback.
Not a support ticket or a net promoter score survey or an AI chatbot.
It should be a prominent "go here to tell us what we got wrong" contact method whose responses people actually read and pay attention to.
Your users are your biggest QA team, why aren't you using that?

#Introduction #toronto #canada
I'm a Toronto based digital artist and musician. I organize electronic music events for the queer community. I'm also tall and non-binary
My tastes in art and music are diverse and can be characterized by a shared connection to electronics and computers. Synthesizers, algorithmically generated images, sounds of bleeps and bloops, precision prints etc. I also love both classical and computer animation.
My day job is wearing a bunch of hats at a SaaS company.
