@thosiawa @BearNotesApp @karrisaarinen @linear And I wish Apple’s Files app used tags like the Bear app. Just imagine - file stored once, with multiple tags. No duplicates, and much easier to find. Instead we get a limited range of coloured dots, and forced to store a single file in multiple folders.

@TechwokInfo @SparkMailApp @ProtonMail OK, so that’s the X post translated into English. When, or how, can I get an English translation of the article on the webpage?

@metoffice I’m thinking of writing a rain forecasting app for where I live. I’m going to call it Diddly Squat. Why Diddly Squat? Because in spite of optimistic Met Office forecasts, that’s all we seem to get when it comes to rain.

@GWmag The Hebe that I cut right back a couple of weeks ago, intending to dig up and replace, is sprouting new shoots all over the place. Guess it’s reprieved until at least next year.

@MjjJennings @BarbicanCentre @RobertElms @BarbicanL Don’t do that! I’ve got a dodgy heart that doesn’t need shocks like that. Even if it was short-lived.

@ring @amazon Joyce is one lucky Amazon customer. Where I live, @amazon drivers barely have time to place your package on the doorstep before they’re back in the van and on their way to their next stop.. It’s a method that is referred to as “dump and run” so I’m told.

@GWmag To sow green manures on my newly constructed, but as yet unused, raised beds.

@thenextweb Anyone paying $499 for an electric toothbrush needs counselling for mental issues.

@tim_cook Not seeing you fronting events is going to take some time to get used to. Enjoy whatever you do next.

@GWmag Don’t believe weather forecasters when they say it’s going to rain tomorrow. If your plants need watering today, do it. Right this minute, outside it should be chucking it down, based on yesterday’s forecast. Not a single raindrop thus far.

@metoffice We’ve just had rain where I live, and idiots are setting off fireworks because I can hear them as I type this. Do they really think 5 minutes of rain will stop wildfires from happening if a firework lands in the wrong place? Unbelievable!!

@MacObserver So let me get this right. Apple wants to adopt a circular watch face to display apps from a rectangular format iPhone? Good luck with that.

@metoffice Breaking News!! We’ve just had a rain shower! Still got the hosepipe ban though.

[David John Bird @senioriosuser]

@metoffice We had some rain where I live in East Anglia. For all of two minutes - literally.

@metoffice Drink lots of water during the day, and if you are of a certain age, spend all night making multiple trips to the bathroom.

@GWmag Verbena bonariensis. Flowering its socks off. Festooned with butterflies when the sun shines on it. Best thing is that most of it is from self-seeding over the past 3 years.

[David John Bird @senioriosuser]

@GWmag One that will survive Ethiopian drought, Saharan sunshine, biblical deluge, Caribbean hurricanes, and Arctic winters. Any suggestions?

@DuckDuckGo Count me in. Courtesy is asking, not assuming. DuckDuckGo asks.

@GWmag Something that tells ladybirds that the aphids are on my roses and not on my dwarf conifers.

@interesting_aIl @DuckDuckGo I’m waiting for Google to go all in using AI in GMail. At which point that’ll be one more service I’ll have to switch.
