Yet another high-quality utterly incomplete page! Did I ever lament time, yap 'bout its lack, and essence.. But the irritating inadequacy shall/should prod me into typing sometime! For man oh man, these..

💵 businesses & companies.. 🥂

..I have known & despised with a passion

Of course I'm not the only one who's been left displeased, stunned, outraged, or revolted, in any case deeply saddened by incompetence and/or ill will; lazy indifferent assholes, soulless sleazy salespeople, greedy C-level fools — all manner of people putting profit over people, value, professional pride, and/or mere common decency. They ought to be named & shamed far more!

De Lijn

Public transport in a poor state of affairs, surely not only in Flanders, but my do our buses trailblaze.. what really. 🫥 Triggering heartfelt unspoken "no, way, rrreally, this..sshitstill\again? like watf?", sometimes millions of times in one day, is a feat few other service companies achieve. It's impossible to properly lament den bus. Nowadays more often than not they are pretty comfy – windows can be opened some, seats arranged in a variety that suits many, some even coming with USB ports! one of course always forgets a cable for – and driven by a fine fellow human! to be sure, not of their own free will so publically transporting us, but bound by a shared fate.

For 't is the company that is to blame for the disfunctioning bus system. Reliably only ever getting more dis- still, at every try, for decades on end; how does this end? In a hundred years buses may be robbing us for our eyeballs, or need a therapist. Luckily it won't come to that; and regardless, it's a classic case of poorly outsourced mega contracts.

In dire need of context and cropping as it is, I can't but already put up here a screenshot of de Lijn's site yesterday (May 26th 2026), so sadly exemplary of the unironically shocking, truly alarmingly shitty Microsoft junk that somehow gets contracts, making many scummy and/or ignorant dimwits rich and making it through whatever quality control one would assume is in place. But then how low have they put the bar, what quality is there to control at all.

An altered future.

I wouldn't be whining here like this if it were just embarrassing growing pains, initial shortcomings and flaws and defects after a huge system overhaul. But this miserable shittiness was there from day one, and doesn't just remain unfixed, but actually consistently gets even f* worse. 🫩 For uncalled for proof, on May 30th AD 2026, I stumble upon this Reddit post. Packed with user comment within hours, it could have been posted literally 27 years ago, had the internet already reached its Reddit state back then.

It's truly beyond belief, and you will bump into Microsoft's utter trash all over the place! It's much like the pesky politards pretending to know how to run a country: no sense of shame, dignity, or professional pride, unhampered by incompetence, just doing whatever superficially seems okay, and always handsomely pays 'course.

ERA Janssens & Janssens

Is a real estate asshole lying through their shiny white teeth the norm or an exception? It's a stereotype after all, and their own billboards often display just the vibe; and the job consists in nothing but selling, with little added value, after all.

In my case, they had the audacity to inquire if perhaps I had any interest to buy the adjacent lot, too. 😳 After.. And then.. 🤪 Ehh but this lacks context 'course.

IP Globalnet

Steeds tijd voor een saf quoi.

Hm no longer exists seems like? Color me surprised. Right now I cba to go and try to find out whatever became of it. It sure was another rotten, highly exemplary symptom of all the things that could and did go wrong when money, c.q. le capitalisme 🤑 entered the chat.

I'd ramble on, but bad vibes cause far more cancer than a pack of cigarettes! or three.

Modulehome

Czyli Mòdûl-Ωm – service and quality of.. hmh, nothing necessarily included, depending on the face of the day.

Telenet

Czyli Теленьэт – textbook capitalism-gone-rogue, again, though a layman - I for one gladly am no economist - might wonder whether rogue isn't the only way capitalism ever goes, by its nature.

The below image was posted on Reddit on April 28th 2026.

Telenet doet klant

The resemblance to the modus operandi of the real estate agent is striking. Be selling something overpriced or shitty like a good salesman, then have the f* nerve to ask for more money for more.. in this case even nothing at all. 😶

A 1) carelessly misspelt 2) feature of unclear purpose or value, 3) to be activated later. Who came up with this? Seriously, how low will you go to squeeze some more money out of fellow humans not as repugnantly rich.. 4 € a month, just throw some mail at the wall, Nigerian prince style, and see how many gullible customers will fall for it, all just so some vapid, often rather superfluous CEO (no longer this Dutch sick duck apparently, but an Anglo-Saxon asshat) may please.. Ehh, Satan, for all I care, though mostly shareholders I suppose.

Really, so ruthlessly propping up.. Ehh - may they all appear strung up by fiber-optic cable like pearls on a string, going from the mouth to the rear, for infernal wall decoration in the afterlife. Somewhy reminds me of Bruegel's painting on The Blind Leading the Blind. Just for its aesthetics and vibe, mind you, because these people aren't blind, nor do they lead.

..I have known & lamented with a passion

For here the 2nd downfall of the Apple could find its wall of text, maybe..

For now just this highly unoptimised 😒 gifke.

anno Sequoia somewhy super user is needed to ssh

..I have known & customerised with a passion

For of course such companies exist, too! The list just might not be as long.

Argenta

Why are they so nice? The concept of franchises must have a part in it, but that's no excuse for a bank to be nice!

Colruyt

Surely something bad must could can be said about Colruyt? I'll come type it as soon as I think or learn of it, meantime there's no supermarket like it, even without the treat of a mini-coffee to briefly brighten up the grocery shopping.

edpnet

For some reason they can't seem to make up their mind about their own name's capitalisation, but EDPNet always treated me well. Too bad it's not ubiquitous like Telenyslet.
