Should we:

@kalypsomedia Really hoping that this will be enabled for Geforce Now as well, for us with potato hardware.

Hey @fitbit, it might be a good idea to respect my device language when sending notifications, and not the selected location. cc @FitbitSupport

We have a deal. #Unity

All 27 leaders agreed on an additional €50 billion support package for Ukraine within the EU budget.

This locks in steadfast, long-term, predictable funding for #Ukraine.

EU is taking leadership & responsibility in support for Ukraine; we know what is at stake.

Dear online retailers, generating a tracking number doesn't mean that my order has shipped, it just means that you generated a tracking number. In my book, my order is shipped when it leaves your warehouse.

There used to be a time when @Spotify gave me actually good music recommendations on Release Radar and Discover Weekly. Unfortunately those days seem to be long gone.

I love that @Google / @madebygoogle now offers a script editor for Google Home so we can do more script automations, but as usual, it's pretty much half-baked. For example, you can turn an AC on, but not off. 🙄

ALIEN was released 44 years ago today. One of the definitive science fiction/horror movies, its influence is still seen to this day. The behind-the-scenes story of how the film was made is a fascinating one...

I don't understand the no-Wifi policy of cafés in the US, seems to be a trend. It's not like people aren't working either way, you're just fucking over tourists.

[Serban Constantin @fuzzmz]

It's been almost 4 years since my last visit to the US and I forgot how absolutely loud/noisy most establishments are. Sitting in a cafe and wishing I'd have brought my headphones with me.

After Croatia's act in #Eurovision2023 I'd really want to see Romania go with a sweet transvestite from transexual Transylvania.

It's taken me till the age of 34 to figure out that I've been tying my shoelaces wrong and how to fix it so they don't untie when walking/running. It also strangely puts all my other accomplishments into a whole different perspective.

I really wish that @Youtube would stop publishing shorts in the RSS feed for a channel. Makes so much noise, especially since not all creators tag shorts so I can filter them out.

Happy to share my debut analytical essay for Berkley Center, Georgetown University.

''Regardless of the security threat the war poses to Moldova, the Orthodox Chuch initiates no talks on autocephaly''.

So either I'm weird for expecting proper return codes, the corporate proxy somehow messes things up, or the endpoint really is messing with me.

Some days Azure APIs just leave me scratching my head. I would have expected a POST to the Azure Devops releases API with an expired PAT to return a 40x status code, but instead I get a 203 and a login page as the response data.

@Bitwarden am I correct in understanding that increasing the number of KDF iterations doesn't affect existing items in the vault, only new ones? And that if I want it retroactively applied one should rotate the encryption key?
