@mer__edith completely agree there's a big difference and fully supported the Signal stance. But why no export function on iOS? broken phone = lost entire message history

[Alexander de Gaye @AlexanderdeGaye]

@WIRED very easy to lose all of one's message history though isn't it

[Alexander de Gaye @AlexanderdeGaye]

@Aiannucci surely it was going to be EIGHTH time lucky?!

[Alexander de Gaye @AlexanderdeGaye]

so @AerLingus you don't like accepting payments huh?

[Alexander de Gaye @AlexanderdeGaye]

@BBCNews right. because they were going to die peacefully of old age yeah?

@qikipedia 'Could' not 'will'. you're assuming 100% turnout. but still, it's the first time this has happened

[Alexander de Gaye @AlexanderdeGaye]

@askryanair you have any idea how goddam annoying it is that all your customer service or contact us links are dead?

[Alexander de Gaye @AlexanderdeGaye]

@daraobriain that Renault was just resting on my driveway...

[Alexander de Gaye @AlexanderdeGaye]

any other #hotmail users out there (oldskool!) noticing that the spam filters aren't catching what they used to?

[Alexander de Gaye @AlexanderdeGaye]

@ElectricIreland can you explain why having a smart meter means one cannot use a green electricity tariff? surely that wipes out any minor environmental benefits. can I go back to 'dumb' meter in order to have green power?

@davidmountain Queued for four hours to get in, now cannot add a single item. yet they're still listed! Terrible site #RWC2023

[Alexander de Gaye @AlexanderdeGaye]

@N1993hh yes I have been stuck on 99% for four hours. tried on another device and got through, but scant tickets available and as soon as one clicks, they're not for sale. but still listed. pretty graphics and no functionality: prioritise all wrong #RWC2023

Stunning and devastating opening from Newsnight tonight.
Harsh, yes. Media students (and current broadcast journalists!) take note: your edit is nothing without the right choice of music. And oh boy this is quite the choice.

@biminibabes reusing is > than plastic. the cow in my dad's old 70's jacket isn't going to be saved by me throwing it away now.
however as many point out, plastic leather is not the only alternative: upcycled tyres, pineapples, mushrooms...
