All of the complaints about AI and similar are because they remove the user's ability to choose. STOP DOING THAT.

@PlayStationUK @PlayStationEU Please accept this as my resignation as a Playstation gamer. Frustrated by settings that don't do what they say, by a support system that pretends to side with my emotions and no route (even email would be fine) to reach people who I can influence.

[Robert Paterson @robertmpaterson]

Older games would download updates and allow you to save and know your progress was safe, not this one. I know it captures state, so I am "not far off" but it is NOT the same as not updating and allowing ME to make the decision.

Amazing, @BethesdaStudios - Starfield released in UK at 4pm BST. Not great when so many of us are off. But then to need to download an almost 44GB file before being able to play is mad. Was the original download that bad?

[Robert Paterson @robertmpaterson]

@DeliverooHelp sorely disappointed to lose priority option on orders. It was a per order cost, which I was happy to pay. You now fall into the same category as all other food delivery services by being random.

@RoyalMail Just filed a great survey about the person I spoke to after waiting 31 minutes to get through, because you don't put the address of the Post Office you redirect mail to. Frustrated is not the half of it.

Thursdays have meaning at last! And what a great set of contestants with an amazing range of energies. #taskmaster

@slepkane Yet another tour de force.

As I can’t locate a FedEx UK, I thought I’d try @FedExHelpEU One delivery attempt, two chats, one phone call, one email and I am still to receive my package. Because it’s too big. And my reply to your email, tells me inbox full. So no way to reply. You’re worse than Evri!

What’s happening with BBC Sounds? Why am I no longer able to download latest episodes of shows? @BBCSounds

@AtomfallGame is a superb new style of game. I loved every moment. Thank you @Rebellion

More and more I wonder if Russia has pulled a fast one and got the best possible asset in the role of president of the USA. Everything he's done so far makes Russia's life easier...

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

This is what a President spitting his dummy out looks like.

[Robert Paterson @robertmpaterson]

Brilliant way of expressing it

So my neighbour’s house was on fire. He came running out saying “please call the fire brigade!” I said of course but only if he gifted me half of his possessions. He said no, so I told him to get stuffed. Do I get a Nobel Peace prize?

The invitation for a UK state visit to Trump must be revoked.
We must stand firm against bullies.
Because that's what he and Vance are.

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

The bust of Sir Winston Churchill sits in Trump's Oval Office. He was an immensely brave leader who visited Washington, dressed in fatigues, seeking support against a despot. We all know what he would have made of today's unedifying spectacle and whose side he would have been on.

[U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @RepPettersen]

I’m horrified by the way President Zelensky was treated by Trump and Vance in their Oval Office meeting today. Once again, Ukraine is a democratic ally that was invaded by Russia.

It is stunning that the US is now siding with dictators and not standing up for freedom, democracy, and global stability. I’m deeply concerned for the people in Ukraine and our country’s long-term national security.
