The Reminders API doesn’t give me any insight into nested reminders, alas. They all just show up in the API as top-level. The “Today” assumption is a design choice. Unforgetful doesn’t let you have tasks that will never remind you. A task without a due date becomes a Today task. Related

Despite 120 members, the large LLM corporations have to-date not signed on.

Got an SMS alert about a failed Credit Card charge from @Wix. I don't recognize or remember any subscription, nor do I have any account with them, so I try contacting their support. Their AI bot wants first 6-9 digits of card number, full name on the card, and last 4 digits to even create a ticket. And then their support agent responds asking for the expiry date. Might as well ask for the CVV also. Related

Thanks to your intervention, the @rblbank has started reversing some of the fraudulent debits. Earlier they had flatly refused to do so in writing and in fact informed me that the “case is closed” even though it’s pending with @RBI Ombudsman. One big lesson for me: Don’t have debit cards. Cancelled all of them. Use credit cards instead and always pay in full before due date. Quoting @suchetadalal If this can happen to @Sanjay__Bakshi - it can happen to all of us. @rblbank has a serious issue judging customers !! Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
