pazzia alberghifera e si rimane a marcire (fuori dalla stanza non potendo entrare)

Non l’ho detto appena è successo, perché la solita scaramanzia è sempre d’obbligo, e quindi ho piuttosto aspettato di tornare a casa… e poi però mi seccai, quindi eccomi solo il giorno ancora dopo a raccontare il momento (assolutamente per nulla!) epico successomi in albergo, per fortuna solo una (1) volta e solo l’ultima sera, e non troppo tardi… menomale… (Magari può interessare alla 1 persona che mi legge che lavora in hotel, chissà.) 💣

Praticamente, tornavo in camera dopo che avevamo passato la prima parte della giornata fuori… e la porta non si apriva appoggiando la scheda. Ho provato per 2 minuti buoni a passarla in qualsiasi posizione sul lettore, ma ops, niente. Andando a chiedere in reception, quindi, si scopre l’assurdo: era zompato tutto!!! Cioè, se ho ben capito (o loro hanno ben spiegato), per un attimo gli risultava come sparito il mio profilo o qualcosa del genere (non ho ben capito, non ho idea di che robo ci giri su quei computer), poi pare di no, ma comunque in tutto ciò la scheda (una di quelle bianche classiche… con il numero della camera appiccicato con lo scotch, lol) comunque non ne voleva sapere di funzionare. (Spacc.) 💩

L’hanno riscritta un paio di volte e provata, ma niente. Quindi mi hanno dato temporaneamente un’altra tessera, che tenevano a giro… e poi un quarto d’ora dopo mi hanno ridato credo la stessa, e funzionava. Quindi mi chiedo cosa sia successo in quel lungo ma breve frangente di tempo… l’avranno completamente brasata e riflashata? Si sarà smagnetizzata o schifezze varie, pur stando giusto nel mio zaino, dove NON ho bombe ESD o atomiche? E chi lo sa… mi hanno detto che non era la prima volta che una stranezza simile succedeva in albergo, ma che era comunque alquanto rara (e ovviamente, stando io in una stanza diversa da quella dei miei genitori, quindi impattando solo me, i potery forty dovevano necessariamente farmela succedere). 🧭

La cosa veramente strana, però, è che i problemi non erano finiti qui! Con la scheda in sé in realtà si — e ripeto, menomale, soprattutto perché in questo hotel per qualche motivo non c’era neanche il turno continuato dei dipendenti, quindi non voglio nemmeno immaginare che bordello sarebbe stato dover rientrare alle 11 di sera ma avere la porta che non subisce la magia di apertura!!! — ma praticamente, proprio nel mezzo di questo casino con la tessera, era uscito pure un glitch con il condizionatore, o una merdata del genere. Lo avevo spento, con il tastino a muro, come avevo fatto le altre sere… e poi però non si accendeva più. Ho premuto tutti i tasti e modificato in ogni modo le classiche opzioni per nulla chiare… e non si smuoveva. Normalmente poi, togliendo la scheda dal muro per fare come per uscire, quindi aspettando un minutino, si accendeva comunque da solo per tenere la stanza a temperatura… e stavolta no. Prima che la stanza si riscaldasse davvero troppo, che in 10 minuti già stavo sudando, chiedo un’altra volta al tizio… e, magicamente, dal suo computer lo vedeva spento, nonostante io avessi poi premuto il tasto per farlo andare (ed è concettualmente assurdo ‘sto fatto che dal computer suo veda il condizionatore mio, quando il mio computer a casa mia non sa nemmeno che in camera mia c’è un condizionatore, ma lasciamo stare). Ha “riacceso” anche quello, in questo caso subito, ma a quel punto l’affaraccio non ho avuto il coraggio di toccarlo minimamente, e l’ho spento solo quando mi sono messa a fare lo suripu (durante il quale, per fortuna al contrario, è rimasto spento). 😨

L’hotel dei pazzi insomma, mamma mia!!! Anche se, comunque, non mi posso lamentare, perché la mia camera era comunque crazy (cioè, meglio di quella dei miei genitori)… e in questo tecnicamente lo staff ha mostrato la giusta riverenza, dando automaticamente a me la stanza top e ai miei quella più zzz, con la consegna delle chiavi al check-in, senza aver fatto domande. Purtroppo, gli spiriti malevoli mi seguono ovunque io vada, e portano come sempre le cose più strane a succedere ai miei danni; non è colpa degli umani, in questo caso. 🤥

Hello everyone,

I raised the point recently already, but to make it short
- there is an active poster on !privacy@programming.dev
- !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is mostly me and @cm0002@lemmy.world
- I think it would be beneficial to consolidate on one community rather than crosspost content from one to the other

I tried to reach out to the active poster, who posted to the lemmy.dbzer0 community in the past before switching back to programming.dev, and I guess they disagree with some of the stances of dbzer0 (probably the pro AI one)

Programming.dev has a few hiccups from time to time, but for a few months it has been stable

What do people think?

Age verification has officially arrived in the UK thanks to the Online Safety Act (OSA), a UK law requiring online platforms to check that all UK-based users are at least eighteen years old before allowing them to access broad categories of “harmful” content that go far beyond graphic sexual content. EFF has extensively criticized the OSA for eroding privacy, chilling speech, and undermining the safety of the children it aims to protect. Now that it’s gone into effect, these countless problems have begun to reveal themselves, and the absurd, disastrous outcome illustrates why we must work to avoid this age-verified future at all costs.
