Mostly moaning about web development, geekdom, photography, gaming, and smarthomes. Live and work in sunny Saffron Walden. Mean tweets are mine, not @72point's

@trakt what sort of shoot-yourself-in-the-foot nonsense is this? Opera (chromium) browser, fully updated. Opera has been around 15 years longer than Trakt fwiw.

My local dodgy corner shop takes contactless payments, but I cannot use it for petrol at Saffron Walden @tesco 🤯

Somebody said uncensored? Thank you @grok for letting us all have some fun 🙌💯

Note: We don't hold any political stance, just having some fun 😊 @elonmusk

"... Donald Trump on Sunday told a campaign rally in Iowa that he would prefer to die by electrocution rather than be eaten by a shark if he ever found himself on a rapidly sinking, electrically powered boat."
Amazing opening sentence 🤣, thanks @msainat1

The before and after @opera release/beta/developer icons in my dock after the recent developer update 😕

@coinbase you unilaterally closed my account, why are you still sending me spam, with no way to unsubscribe. Stop.

@themiltonjones is that you in the background? #moon44

@AltcoinDailyio @premiumbusiness There are only approx 400,000 verified twitter users. You think an extra 237,600,000 users will get verified if it costs them $8pm?

So yesterday I was asked to investigate a suddenly broken website, and it turns out that @onecom have arbitrarily installed three ‘https://t.co/NBW4X32nhq’ Wordpress plugins. Disabled those 3 plugins and now website working again. Great job @onecom 😠

[Tim Houghton @thoughton]

Hi @lcndotcom can’t find it on your site, do your Startup/Business/Multisite plans come with Plesk or Cpanel? Can we choose which one?

Wrote up some notes on how I've been using GPT-3 as a tool for explaining how code works https://t.co/Bfbw4Whbs8

What a wonderfully misleading diagram in the Times today 📈

@NHSBSA_OHS I sent in my child's GCIC paperwork on 16th January. When are you going to start work on those applications? It's been FOUR months.

[ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover @NASAPersevere]

Truly fascinating. I zoomed in with my Mastcam-Z camera on a Phobos solar eclipse. This detailed video can help scientists on my team better understand the Martian moon’s orbit and how its gravity affects the interior of Mars, including its crust & mantle. https://t.co/jVdJ4UwhDx

Dear @apple, Mail’s spelling suggestions are moronic. Are there people out there I don’t know about who capitalise ‘xxx’?

This week's unexpected item in the news feed 🤣

[Abdul Qahar Balkhi @QaharBalkhi]

Statement concerning crisis in #Ukraine

[Tim Houghton @thoughton]

Who’s idea was it to remove the pagination in the @Wordpress Media Library and replace it with a ‘Load more’ button? To find an old image I now have to click ‘Load more’ and wait for each new page to load. And then repeat DOZENS more times.
