@MerriamWebster @quordle please bring back the boards when you're sharing your results! It's nice to see how other people did it!!

@SpotifyCares But it's been great for years. This is objectively worse as a listening experience. It's neither a better service or deal and is immensely frustrating. By all means offer videos, but forcing them on the user - by default - in a platform that's always been about audio is bonkers.

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@SpotifyCares please give me some way to disable videos. I stream via the TV app and it keeps resetting to play videos by default; I absolutely do not want this. Completely ruins the flow of an album. It's driving me mental.

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@SpotifyCares Why? I'm listening to an album, why do I want to see a video? It's horribly frustrating - and the sound quality is never as good as the song itself, nevermind the fact the videos usually have a load of talking or extra junk in them. Why is this the default choice?

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@SpotifyCares So this is expected behaviour? Every time I start a new album through the TV app I have to explicitly tell it not to play videos?

@levelsio On their days off, my dad's neighbours used to ring a bell about 4pm. If you could hear the bell, you were welcome to pop over for a beer or cocktail. Delightful.

@madebygoogle Please stop automatically making my Pixel use Gemini over assistant. I'll happily switch when Gemini can actually replace assistant, but right now it can't even do the basic Home routine stuff - and even the bits it tries to do requires me to unlock my phone.

@talktotippers Actual LOL. When I was laughing, someone said to me "your laugh is so good, will you be the voice of a Disney meerkat?" Thank you Tippers 🙏🏻

@Nina_Rotor @Myprotein 🙄🙄

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@Myprotein Your email says free next day delivery with a £40 spend, but you've upped this to £45 on the site... Kind of annoying - can you honour the email?!

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@tommccloud_ @O2SBE @harrymack Did you manage to find out?!!

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@DHLParcelUK - I've been in all morning and there's a concierge. Didn't try very hard, did you?

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@brooklynvegan hey guys - difficult/janky scrolling on your new website on Android/Chrome. I think it's the cookie permission thing (it's fine scrolling up when it disappears).

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@NotionHQ Pretty much unusable for half an hour now, your status page is claiming 'fully operational'. It's not, and no one is answering us on Twitter either. Come on!

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@IsaacKitambala2 @NotionHQ Ugh. Incredibly frustrating. Thanks for the heads-up!

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@NotionHQ I'm stuck in a redirect loop where it asks me to accept cookies and then reloads my page. And then does it over and over. I've hard refreshed, cleared cache, deleted all my Notion cookies, logged out and in... What am I meant to do?

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@TheO2 Do you have stage times for Iron Maiden this evening, please?!

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@sdfrichmond @talktotippers Ffs hahaha

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@TicketmasterCS the popup support on the website is incredibly frustrating. How do I actually connect to someone rather than get autoprompted replies? I might as well just read an FAQ if you're going to do that.

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@wolvesx4 Ace, ta!!

[Ben Pritchard @yesiamben]

@wolvesx4 Is the new record going to be on Spotify (UK)?! Really looking forward to giving it a listen!
