@asda I received an email from you that someone has signed up for an account using my email address. This was not me. I confirmed the email was genuine as I was able to reset the password and login. Please contact me for details to either close the account or remove my email.

@eircare @ThomilBlogs Possibly related to whatever 'fix' you put in place for the JSON parse error reported by multiple users earlier today?

[Alan Greene @alan_greene]

@eircare @ThomilBlogs Seeing the same here, tested multiple devices/browsers and it hangs after submitting email address.

@declanmc71 @vjarchbold @mamacas92842220 @BenSlimm Would you argue that the root cause isn't him choosing not to respect a student and harassing his colleagues?

[Alan Greene @alan_greene]

@maxx_keane @Dylan_L_F_C @BenSlimm He's not in jail for refusing to use a certain set of pronouns. He's in jail for a series of events of his own making. He ignored the suspension, ignored the injunction that followed, and ignored the order to appear in court... Lots of people ignoring the facts.

[Alan Greene @alan_greene]

@vjarchbold @mamacas92842220 @BenSlimm No it really isn't. It's about his behavior, his continued refusal to respect a suspension by the school pending investigation, followed by ignoring a court issued injunction against him for repeatedly showing up to the school, then failing to appear in court as ordered.

@megazone @bbrala @penelope_zone @github Except that it has been found to regurgitate identifiable non-trivial chunks of code from existing projects. Even GitHub themselves admit this, although they put it at 0.1%, which while a small number is still non-zero...

@tweethue I'm not sure why you're sending me that. The update is for the Hue bridge as I already stated and you confirmed. What does it contain and why is it mandatory?

[Alan Greene @alan_greene]

@tweethue Where can I find details of the mandatory update for the Hue Bridge that's been pushed out? Most recent release notes are January 24 "Improved performance and reliability of the system". No hint as to why the urgency / impact of not updating.

[Alan Greene @alan_greene]

@tweethue Yes I can't use the app until I apply the update but want to understand what the update includes and why exactly it's mandatory. Other apps can still access the bridge and control the bulbs so it appears to be a deliberate choice to have the Hue app blocked.

@kylewelch Considering getting a mat but I do move around a good bit during some meetings which helps. Rarely have the camera on but when I do I make a conscious effort to stay put a little more, doesn't always work but hasn't caused any issues so far.

[Alan Greene @alan_greene]

@donavon @hashseed @rauschma Every time... Although it did get me a staff discount more than once

@EmilyGorcenski My name is not resolved
I was born in town
My age is easier to find

Even if you're not new, keep asking those questions. You're probably not the only one who's wondering 'why?'

[Bryan Liles @bryanl]

When things do not make sense, speak up. A process feels weird? Build takes a long time? PM team expects you to be a clairvoyant? As someone new to the team, you are one of the best people to ask why. Get used to asking why.

Accessibility isn’t more work, you were just cutting corners before. The work was incomplete.

@opexcain Ah yes the ship of Theseus. There's an element of that to all our lives alright. Lee's story is a bit different, worth reading. Our identities are fragile things.

We are who we are until we're not, or are we?

[WIRED @WIRED]

Lee Holloway's personality was consistent for decades—until it wasn't.

It took years of detective work to figure out why he became unrecognizable, but the journey has forced those around him to face the trickiest questions of selfhood. (from 2020) https://t.co/3Xlh3SS94k

@jlengstorf @TwitchDev @maxcell Awesome, thanks. Just when I thought the shell customisation rabbit hole couldn't go any deeper…
