@heitor_lessa @chrismunns Old man noises, intensifying.

@QuinnyPig @baseten Security behind the badge of Enterprise. We don’t want no stinking smaller businesses to have security. The number of clowns that do that is astounding.

I heard the reason why Amazon reported on Fable to the government is because Fable was unable to fix how bad AWS's UI is.

@github Just to be clear:

Microsoft’s GitHub was compromised when a Microsoft developer using Microsoft VSCode installed a rogue extension from Microsoft’s VSCode extension library, which is moderated and hosted by Microsoft.

I guess I’ll be reevaluating my life choices.

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

Would be great if @claudeai had as many integrations with @gitlab as it does with @github. Like really great. Wouldn’t have to get Claude to make quite so many yaml files to come close then.

@QuinnyPig @ranman Memorable moment when Tweetdeck crew was locked out of AWS for over a day. Plus when at AWS, I saw customers hit by this.

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

@dontpannic @timhuckle @HSBC_UK Ah good - PHEW I'm not the only one - jesus. Glad I checked X first!

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

Oh @grind, why oh why oh why is my subscription coming through Evri rather than Royal Mail all of a sudden? I hope it's a one-off... because if not, I guess I'll have to cancel.

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

Oh @github - do you even?

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

@QuinnyPig Weirdly weeks before this FT report I’d heard from insiders that AI approving pipelines caused outages.

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

Not sure if it's an ARC Raiders, Deadlock, or Warcraft kind of rainy day. Related: Will it ever stop raining in the UK?

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

Blimey - just cancelled my ChatGPT Subscription. My daily go-to has become Gemini over the past two months (Opus 4.5 too, for coding). Discovery and ideation are just so strong in those models, too, that I don't need GPT 5.2 alongside them anymore.

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

I used to be a daily reader of Slashdot - but being aggressive about people using NextDNS... nah, we're good, thanks...

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

Shame that @TheRegister didn't reference this video for this IPv6 article - https://t.co/eeW3yYGWfC ... https://t.co/irl2mJ6P3c

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

Hi @Tesla any chance we could fix the bug where sending a destination to the car from the app when it’s in valet mode results in command failed? It’s obviously right to fail but the error message could actually say why.

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

I always love seeing who has forked my Covid-19 hack project ssosync... turns out @Tailscale and @NotionHQ! Wow! That's so damned cool. One day, I'll write up how I caused a ? email with that project inside Amazon when I surprised the SSO team with its release.

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

I’m genuinely confused when Labour says they haven’t broken their manifesto… manifesto says they won’t increase income tax. Says it pretty clearly. But they 100% have if you read the HMRC tax free savings newsletter.

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

Turns out @Akamai salespeople are ambulance-chasing after the @Cloudflare outage... constantly hounded by their sales drones. Which is only reallllly funny because we use @fastly ...

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

Someone has declined the invite. You have been returned to the front of the queue. (cue: constant NOISE from WoW)

[Lee Packham @Joolz]

My ARC Raider experience this evening... (credit: https://t.co/kRb906JVT7) but hey, Scrappy is upgraded!
