I make bits of internet. Sometimes I use that artisanal internet for other things. I don’t understand Snapchat or thaumaturgy.

@spearandjackson Your UK e-mail address is not working or I am being ignored. I am trying to get the missing parts for my pruner, which is useless without them, so I'm just going to return it next week if I still don't get a reply.

@Wise You were a much better company when you matched counterparties at spread and met needs rather than all-in on the for-profit.

[David C @davidcx]

@wise Until 3 years ago, you could choose which currencies each card was permitted to draw from. Then you made your entire company pointless overnight by having it draw from unwanted currencies so you could "improve it". When are you going to actually restore this functionality?

[David C @davidcx]

@Wise Which of course you charge commission for. Maybe that’s why.

[David C @davidcx]

@Wise Not to mention when I do this, you take your monthly fees from an infuriating random assortment of other currencies.

[David C @davidcx]

@Wise It’s not smart when I spend half my life gradually and cautiously converting currency A to B, and then it spends B when I’m in country C because it thinks it’s doing me a favour. I will never understand why you removed this. I can’t put B in a jar because I also need to spend B.

[David C @davidcx]

I've had huge amounts of money sitting in my Wise accounts waiting to be used while simultaneously being forced to use other cards because you lack basic common sense and/or are being greedy. It's time to move if you're not going to restore this function you had from day 1.

I’m going to become rich and famous by inventing the modern day TV-B-Gone. Point at a phone and permanently brick it to only display “You’re a twat”. For use on twats holding up phones at concerts or playing games or movies unmuted on public transport.

Seriously go fuck yourselves Facebook, stop trying to hack my internal systems and learn to code.

[David C @davidcx]

It's like reading the internal monologue of someone who simultaneously has every type of mental disorder imaginable going down a wiki rabbit hole until braindeath occurs.

I wonder if 71.80.83.0 ("GPS\x00") and 80.80.83.48 ("PPS0") get more than their fair share of random background packets; the NTP sources are literally marked as afi IPv4 and you need to special-case decoding them as an ASCII string instead.

Why on earth aren't the early Dragonlance novels being republished? With second hand copies of Chronicles and Legends novels changing hands for so much, there's clearly demand. Nobody wants to read the trilogy versions, because the books are too damned heavy to read comfortably.

@NASA Whoever designed this animation, which is constantly being repeated, should be strung up for singlehandedly trivialising the whole of your agency's undertaking.

[David C @davidcx]

@NASA Why do you keep posting animations that vastly understate the scale? Both in the distance, which is trivialised by this animation, but also in the velocity which implies you can get to the moon faster than you can orbit the earth.

@AmazonHelp For the record, I find Rufus incredibly useful now I know I can use it to search with natural language and overcome the limitation Amazon has always had of not having useful parametric search (across a huge product range). But that kind of enforced-answer is limiting it.

[David C @davidcx]

@amazon Your prompts for specific answers are far too strong, you should let Rufus do their job. e.g. no matter how I phrase that I want to only see items available with Prime, your prompt to show this link overrides their usually-helpful answers.

[David C @davidcx]

@AmazonHelp I gave you some feedback on how Rufus can be improved, the limitations that are preventing it being helpful, and you try to teach me how to add something to my cart? I've been shopping with https://t.co/6aAlI3ij4x since 1997.

[David C @davidcx]

@AmazonHelp @amazon I can't tell if you're trolling me.

[David C @davidcx]

@amazon Without that condition in my question, I get a lot of useful results, many of which are indeed available with Amazon Prime!
