@Battlefield Release notes say "Battlefield 6 and REDSEC Season 4 begins on July 21 at 4 a.m. PT (12 p.m. UTC)". Well, which is it? 4 a.m. PT is actually 11 a.m. UTC.

@__Arcadia Was there an excited scream and applause when you opened the door?

This is what failure looks like. #auroraborealis

I see that the airline industry learned nothing from the Y2K problem. I guess we'll end up having a Y21C problem in 2100.

@theslickmeister @jonjones Yeurch Google's "desk mat".

Got back a few days ago from 3 weeks in Florida. Wow, it was hot and humid! We had an amazing time and did the main touristy things: Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, water parks, Kennedy Space Center. Flight home beat Hurricane Idalia by just a few hours.

Hey @PlayStation, the SSL certificate on https://t.co/vrINVjZVV4 expired last night, leading to error messages in browsers. You might want to get someone to take a look at that.

[Richard Fawcett @yeurch]

@theslickmeister Or ATWI even.

@Petey5K This one was my favorite. Error message on a page referring you to the EXACT SAME PAGE for more info.

@BenberryPi Maybe they're more misused than unhelpful, so I may have missed the mark on what you were asking.

[Richard Fawcett @yeurch]

@BenberryPi Got a couple.
1. "REST service" being used to describe pretty much any web service; and
2. Calling any Internet connection "WiFi". I hear lots of people saying the WiFi is down when their ISP is having an outage.

@__Arcadia The story has moved on a little today, but rest assured, Batman is on the case!

[Richard Fawcett @yeurch]

@SausageMaterial @elonmusk @wholemars Doesn't this already exist, exactly as you've described? "Lists" from the main menu.

@theslickmeister @CaptainBinky Betamax was obviously better than VHS, and Mercurial > git.
But I'm a little surprised by your take on Mastodon. The servers are all federated, right?

[Richard Fawcett @yeurch]

@theslickmeister I'm a big fan of having enough confidence in your tests and devops processes that you can confidently check-in at 2am on a Sunday morning and have that rolled out to production automatically there and then. That's the dream.

Sending #hugops to @Malwarebytes who look like they've just accidentally blocked access to Google for their users.

@theslickmeister @StevenBHutton Didn't know you could stream on Twitter.

In two completely unrelated incidents, I have been attacked by birds twice today. A domesticated parrot and a wild duck. Here's a picture of said vicious duck.
