@discord Can you keep your CSS class naming scheme stable? It changes more often than the wind.

So listen.

@thenerve_news has the receipts.

NEW: The entire BBC news cycle is an abject lesson in the disaster economics of information.

This isn’t just a news story. It’s a teachable example of real-time information collapse. We can’t fix that but we can & must save the BBC.

@ProfBrianCox @YouTube Youtube has enough data to be able to reasonably identify notable people in videos.
Perhaps a system where such individuals can be notified of *new* footage that contains them, and take appropriate action?
A bit tricky as it could easily be abused to hide legitimate stuff.

Reform is tipped to win next week in Caerphilly, a bellwether election because Reform is coming for Wales first, then the UK.

Yet close to zero scrutiny of the candidate, Llyr Powell’s relationship with his former boss & friend, Nathan Gill.

Why? Please read on & share

I posted this during Trump’s first visit to the UK in 2018. And maybe now 7 years on, you can all finally see it?

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Here it is.

The UK digital slavery deal in which we invite the worst companies on the planet to feast themselves on our national assets & compromise our national security.

This isn’t just naive, it’s dangerous. We have just tied ourselves to a technofascist surveillance state.

@Uber I was charged for 7.5x the upfront cost of my ride because my driver drove and kept us in heavy traffic. What should have been a 30min trip became a 2hrs. I have attempted to contact support 3 times, with no human response at all. Anything you can do to make this right?

@discord Why doesn't the Time Out counter use tabular numbers to keep the text layout stable?

[Scott Ellis @QOAL]

@markcooperjones @jayforeman Maybe the date matters?
Or just start it at 6pm, and go on until 9pm, in the hopes you catch more people.

@lastfm Remember when https://t.co/81Zn1ywa4y had an active scene of 3rd party tools for charting and visualising your data? Stuff like this was basic.

[alex krokus @alexkrokus]

eh it was fun while it lasted

[Scott Ellis @QOAL]

I have no doubt that it has been done at least 37 times before…

Here's some glass in a normal webpage, using just CSS.
Try selecting the text, or pressing the buttons.

This only works in Firefox/Gecko based browsers, & is resource heavy.
