Maybe we should all start collectively phoning the @Microsoft switchboard whenever this screen pops up unwelcome on our PCs, as a form of protest.

[Graham @ricepuddin]

I want to see the stats on how much time globally is wasted every year by @Windows trying to force people to sign up to One Drive or switch to Edge randomly when their PC starts. Today's screen even broke the opt-out button so I'm stuck. You are a net loss on the global economy.

Ongoing nationwide power outages in Portugal and Spain are impacting Internet traffic. Traffic dropped by as much as 30% in Portugal and 37% in Spain at 10:30 UTC. We are continuing to monitor the situation.

God damn it.

I’ve been programming for 14 years, and it still bothers me that sorting algorithms don’t sort.

They order.

Of all the cables I have stashed away in boxes and drawers, how is it that I find myself lacking something so simple as a USB A -> B cable?!

@charlie_coombs To be fair they’re getting roasted in the replies 😂

[Graham @ricepuddin]

@charlie_coombs They’re either incredibly well adjusted people or psychopaths.

@phillipcaudell You mean punish you with a good time..?

@millarm you know, I'd actually forgotten that she was PM 😳

@millarm @RishiSunak Poorer voters of all ages, I imagine…

[Matt Millar @millarm]

So… we denied at least 10,000 the opportunity to vote due to having no ID to stop… how many fraudulent votes? Is this a reasonable bargain? @RishiSunak

[Phillip Caudell @phillipcaudell]

Oh, sounds like this will be totally fair and balanced🙄

I was diagnosed with ADHD privately after being put on a 2+ year waitlist on the NHS.

The only scandal is how chronically underfunded mental health services are in the UK.

Where's the reporting on that @BBCPanorama?

[Matt Millar @millarm]

For UK elections voters now need photo ID https://t.co/y3nBKwFnz4 I think this is absurd, and serves only to combat imagined voter fraud and will instead disenfranchise many older and busy people. I’m objecting by… requesting electoral ID - to drive up the cost

[Julian Gough @juliangough]

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

If I pay for twitter blue can I skip this forever or will you still keep fucking asking? @TwitterSupport @Twitter

[Graham @ricepuddin]

How about "skip forever and stop fucking asking?" @TwitterSupport

[Graham @ricepuddin]

I STILL WANT TO SKIP THIS FOREVER @TwitterSupport @Twitter

[Mick Gordon @Mick_Gordon]

Marty Stratton, @idSoftware Studio Director, lied about @DOOM Eternal's OST events in a Reddit post that used disinformation to blame me entirely for its failure

Later, he offered me a six-figure sum to never speak about it

The truth is more important.

@millarm The the barrier was unfortunately "this is an authentic account AND this person is considered noteworthy enough for us to check." So it became desirable to be considered "noteworthy." Charging for that privilege takes away what made it desirable in the first place.
