Change to Cellphones

Post by Ptolemais » Sun Mar 20, 2022 11:39 pm

Cellphones will now hang up automatically if you use the 'freehands' command.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Addendum to this, you now won't automatically put phones away when you get into a vehicle, because that was really fucking irritating last time this code was enabled.

To counterpoint this at some point soon there may be disadvantages for driving whilst using a phone (or for that matter, driving whilst watching Tri-Visors or simsense, or whilst doing other things).

I've also noticed that some dickhead (i.e. me) disabled phone billing, possibly complant encryption billing, and various other automatic payment systems about four years ago. I imagine I was fixing them but got distracted by a shiny thing. I'm going to fix them again, but because I'm really nice I won't charge for historical usage.

And a CellNET node gridside coming soon? :lol:

But good changes. Thanks staff, been enjoying catching up on the changes after my hiatus.

I didn't realize I -wasn't- being charged for complant encryption. I just assumed it was automatically being deducted. As part of reapplying the subscription fee, will we have to get RE-ENCRYPTED, or will it just pick back up charging us automatically?

You won't need to take any action.

I hope with the cellphone changes and usage charges, that we can clear up the public listing directory.

That's not actually directly related... but it would probably be a good idea!

Saying that, I'm not sure public listings make a whole lot of sense, but we'll see.

I second this!! That directory is INSANE and has a bunch of disconnected numbers in it....
