PerranOak:
I have, reluctantly, started using Facebook.

I find it to be incredibly unfriendly to use and not at all intuitive; it is painful to use.

I thought I'd go to Dave's page and follow it - so far so good. How the f--k do you make a bookmark or shortcut to his page appear on your own home page!? Facebook help is useless … to me anyway.

Cheers.

Ok Boo-

Nah, I agree, social media is crap. Most people just deal with it because it's "hip" so they "have" to use it, regardless of how stupid the interface is. ::)

I heard from one of my fellow programming buddies that he tried to use the Reddit app and he just touched the screen in the wrong spot somehow and it gave someone a "medal" (which, if you don't know, charge you money, idk how much). :o :wtf:

EDIT: Yes, that's also a lesson to never give these social media sites your banking info.

Not quite so dire, but over on QRZ.com, which is normally as user friendly as this one, I found myself scattering "likes" all over the place, due to a combination of a poorly placed "like" button & an errant "pinkie" finger.

Works perfectly on a "real computer" with a mouse, but an iPad?------arrrgghhh!

I've only now started using online banking because of the Covid19 situation.
My previous reluctance was not so much about security, but that my bank's website isn't that clever, so you have to hunt fo find the vatiouus services.

For instance. "Pay a Bill" takes you to "BPay" which is good if you have a bill with the correct details for that service.

If, as for my garden bag bloke, he wants you to use "Pay Anyone", you have to go to "Transfer to Accounts"
(probably eminently sensible to a bankster, but it seems illogical to me).

If they seem to be so clunky, I can't imagine the stuffups Facebook could create! ;D


Dubbie:
If you have done fine without facebook so far, why the heck would you start now?

It's like deciding to take up smoking when you are 50.

True. It's only because I have a mate who is, now, in New Zealand who uses it so ...
