@petermurrayrust Would Global Warming Potential [1] be appropriate for the audience?

@RubenVerborgh @C18AH @fnielsen Institutions can also run their own Wikibases (the software Wikidata runs). See https://t.co/pdUlgFbg7q . On your own Wikibase you can structure your data and processes however you like.

@HerrShabi @tonina_zh @AmirSarabadanii @addshore Hehehe, I really can't disagree but... actually the pain of the interface (for me) still pays off against the RAM and cpu hog that the official client is.

Perhaps a sign the Spotify team should release a "lite" version?

[Thomas Arrow @ThomasArrow1]

@HerrShabi @tonina_zh @AmirSarabadanii @addshore I'm using ncspot. Lighweight ncurses based spotify client (https://t.co/JwtrSmxH8C) for a few months now. Much slimmer.

This is why we build Wikibase - to counter this, to provide an alternative.

Prototyping of Wikibase config discovery done for the week
The code and example API output can be found on github https://t.co/OeOc0J3pz2
And we would appreciate any feedback by Monday 20th on the following form https://t.co/laip3dI851
Great week @__Perside__ @ThomasArrow1 !!!

@LucozadeSport Opened a bottle in a 4 pack of Mango and Passion Fruit. Has a chemical solvent smell and is darker than others in the pack. Phoned the customer care number but no one was free. Left a message but want to make sure you know. Bottle Code is: FEB20 269E 23:42B G20

@dwthacker @gsuite Down for me and my coworkers too. Tried in incognito mode as well but no joy. Nothing on the GSuite status page though

[Thomas Arrow @ThomasArrow1]

@anthonymancs @Lean_Back_Jack @eurowings One more option is if you paid by credit card: https://t.co/fXEAzm8oMe you can claim for more than the cost of the ticket and let the card company fight it out with Eurowings

How many scientific articles cited in Wikipedia can you read without hitting a paywall? What if the only language you speak is English, Khmer, or Malagasy? We answer this question with new data obtained from @Wikipedia and @unpaywall:

@eurowings Hi Lea, the length of time is bad however the real problem is they only respond to email but seem incapable of reading either the customer services booking notes or my email to them. Any chance you could give them a nudge to at least read the notes on the booking?

[Thomas Arrow @ThomasArrow1]

@eurowings Wondering if you can help me get back the >£500 I'm owed by Eurowings for >2 months? The compensation dept have now copy pasted wrong booking details from somewhere so can't process the claim. They only do email but seems without much care. A phone for them would help.

[Thomas Arrow @ThomasArrow1]

@NeilJMathews @eurowings Thanks! I'm 2 months in and have just done twitter, phone calls and emails. I'll add Facebook to the list!

[Thomas Arrow @ThomasArrow1]

@NeilJMathews @NicolaHebden Any clue what finally got someone from @eurowings to contact you?

[Thomas Arrow @ThomasArrow1]

.@eurowings CEO @tdirks was at telefonica. Will he be using telecoms experience to get a phone in every office so that customers can be paid what @eurowings owe? Customer services say compensation department has no phone but they don't reply to their emails. They need a phone!

[Thomas Arrow @ThomasArrow1]

@eurowings Just spoke to your customer service agents again. They tell me there is no way to call the department that can reimburse me the >£500 Eurowings told me to spend after Eurowings cancelled my flight last minute. Apparently only email will do but I've *never* had a reply

[Thomas Arrow @ThomasArrow1]

@eurowings Thanks, I've sent you an email with the details. Would be great if you could send me a phone number for the buchingsinfo team. Seems they are key to lots of your user's problems but they are impossible to get hold of by email.

[Thomas Arrow @ThomasArrow1]

@eurowings I'm trying to get reimbursed for a flight you asked me to book because you cancelled mine. buchungsinfo haven't replied in 2 months. I keep ringing customer service but they tell me to email and ring back. Can you find me a phone no for buchungsinfo?
