Seems like you’re in the UK too.
Yeah, this was never a thing until Amazon made it one.
Thankfully, the law is very unambiguous about this, and if a parcel is left outside and then stolen before it gets into your hands (unless you specifically asked for it to be left outside) then you are entitled to a refund or replacement.
Amazon just play the numbers game and figure that replacing x number of packages costs less than needing their drivers to bring all the undeliverable packages back and try again a different day.
It’s not a cool precedent though and I very much dislike it being normalised.

- Comment on Meet the creepiest publisher in indie games. Critical Reflex are “midwives bringing monsters into the world,” backing projects no one dares to touch 4 days ago:
The beginning of this headline had me mislead.
I read ‘creepiest publisher’ and with the state of the industry these days I thought it was going to be some exposé piece on a toxic culture of workplace misogyny and sexual harassment.
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 1 week ago:
Wow yeah. That must have been a really infuriating gameplay issue, no wonder players were upset with it.
A shame the game was so rushed.

What was the bug and workaround? :)
- Comment on YouTube "search results" 1 week ago:
They are incentivised because showing accurate results for what you asked for isn’t necessarily the best way to keep people on the platform.
By pushing certain types of videos, such as opinionated content or loud shouty videos for low attention spans, YouTube hopes to keep you engaged for longer than they would by being accurate.
There’s also a direct advertising reason to funnel certain types of video. YouTube creators earn different amounts of money for the same number of views depeding on what category (e.g. financial, gaming, writing advice, cookery etc) YT has auto-categorised your video as. We can infer from this that advertisers are willing to pay more money for ads in some categories than others, and therefore YT is directly incentivised to push those more lucrative categories in search results, even if they aren’t what you wanted.
Plenty of reasons why they want to mess with results.

God literally used the scale up tool on a seagull. I guess it was a Friday afternoon in the animal design bureau.

Two of the lines having elbow bends in them when they could just be single right angles makes me unreasonably upset
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 - Official Story Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025 2 weeks ago:
The ship was one of the best parts for sure. Once you are competent it feels super liberating how nimbly you can zip around a planet.
The other good parts of that game were progression, and death.
I love that knowledge is the only thing retained between loops - the only currency of value. And I loved the feeling of making new discoveries.
And with death as an expected mechanic, the game doesn’t have to put up any guiderails to save you from it. There are no training wheels. You want to go outside without a spacesuit? Bad idea but sure, you do it. You want to fall into a space anomaly and see what happens? Be our guest.
Masterpiece game honestly.

And the power switch was like KA-JUNK when you pushed it, because it was a big ol’ switch that actually physically connected and disconnected the power.
“It’s now safe to turn off your computer” went away after we moved to software power control, where the operating system could signal the power supply to turn off.
