"Wow! What a song. Nice vocals and the lyrics are fantastic. And really cool deep atmospheric vibe. I like the detailed sound design. Great work man! That song touches my soul. Gets me goosebumps and tears. No joke."

@AskPayPal thanks for your direct reply. it's obviously not your fault! my main issue is that the phone system expressly says "sorry, wait-times, COVID" and then **hangs up** ... call dropped within a couple of minutes, which is either a bug or suggests there's literally no-one on call

[devcurmudgeon @devcurmudgeon]

.@PayPalUK as far as I can tell, you're using COVID as an excuse for terminating all inbound support enquiries. This is frankly disgraceful. What is the actual route to getting to a human at this point?

[devcurmudgeon @devcurmudgeon]

@dsilverstone Yes, absolutely!

@arturo182 Now you're trolling :)

Up at 04:30. Arrive at customer 07:00. Wife calls. "Change the world!" she says. "OK, leave it with me" ... no pressure, then

I bought a full Freedrum set from @freedrumrocks a few weeks ago. Not happy with it at all, have been attempting to return it since the day it arrived. No reply from support... am starting to wonder if the company is still functioning...

Customer to supplier "We'd like Codethink to review your code". Supplier to customer "Oh no, not Codethink ..." Seems some companies are afraid of us

The old question was “FOSS vs proprietary software”; what won (and in 2001 I didn’t expect this at all) was “80% FOSS with proprietary/SaaS on top”; one new question is how we get the 80% to be more reliable and sustainable and equitable.

For a few years, I've been working with others (originally @devcurmudgeon, then @tom_mens @a_zerou @gregoriorobles @eleni_const @AlexandreDecan) on the idea of "technical lag" to measure how far away is a deployment from the "ideal" deployment

@leonanavi @HiltonHotels Thanks for asking... I 'slept' at the airport.Won't be using Hilton again if I can avoid it.

[devcurmudgeon @devcurmudgeon]

Moronic approach to customer service by @HiltonHotels - book a room, pay for it... when I arrive at midnight I'm told hotel is full, "system is overbooked". You took the money, then double-sold what I paid for, leaving me with nowhere to sleep. Goodbye forever.

[devcurmudgeon @devcurmudgeon]

@HiltonHotels No, goodbye.

TCP/IP vulnerabilities in #FreeRTOS
https://t.co/x4GuikhiA7
make me wonder if the SafeRTOS folks at @WITTENSTEIN_HIS can demonstrate that SafeRTOS does *not* have these vulnerabilities? Could be a great reference case for your processes imo
