One for Shit User Story : As a user I want sign-in-security applied to status-updates So that I can be notified when the sign-in service is fixed. Do Microsoft know that browser notifications are a thing I can temporarily accept for one-off reasons like this?

What are the best European countries to start a company in? And are there any good places to get tips/advice/stories from founders as well as just comparing the legal and tax landscapes?

LinkedIn is so bad. They have these truly horrific/terrible AI-written "articles" that they "invite" uses to comment on (i.e. fix), in return for "Top Thinker in the <whatever> industry" badges. New candidate-rejection indicator unlocked, got a "top thinker" badge? REJECT!

🛑 STOP spending time analysing #agile and fighting holy wars. Focus on building cool products that work. ✂️ If parts of your process are getting in the way of that, eliminate them. 📋If problems keep cropping up, create some process to solve them. It's that simple.

Is there anywhere I can buy books, and get the audiobook as well as the physical book? Also, I want to have self-custody of the audio book, so I don't rely on some app working or existing, like just give me the files so I can put them on USB in my car or whatever.

Loved this blog-post about Neotoddlerism by Gurwinder - in game theory terms the dominant strategy is to defect; individual rationality leads us to collective irrationality. Any ideas how we can align incentives to reveal a better dominant strategy?

So I wanted to find a UK bank with good APIs and developer support (my main criteria in selecting a bank). Starling looks fantastic - but then I check eligibility and they don't support companies providing payment services 😢 so why the dedicated payment services API?

So many things wrong with our education system, this is just one. I'd also like to see history removed as an individual subject and taught in context of the other subjects; ability/level based advancement in each subject rather than age-based; more self-directed learning; ...

When I get followed by bots or "models" (to put it politely) is there an easy way to force-unfollow-me them without building up a giant block list that I don't want either? And can the spam-detector-algo use this to identify them more easily?

Journalists are meant to speak truth to power. That's our job. But what do you do when that power is your own news org? This thread (professional suicide note?) is about The Guardian & The Observer's future. Because it turns out you can’t believe everything you read on a poster.. 1/

Important. Inspirational. Brave! Thread for those who care about truth, freedom (press, speech) ,and more. Re. orgs, govt, police, individuals, we need strong accountability more than ever at the moment. You have the bravery and integrity of John Pilger, and my utmost respect.

Why is Adobe such a shitshow? They screwed up the renewal, missing off one license, sending multiple confusing renewal emails with the old and new licenses, on call centre their end goes silent within 60s of talking to someone. Took 1h to sort it out - waste of space!

Why does X ask me if my phone number has changed every bloody week? I've had the same number for about 28 years.

A core aspect of neotoddlerism is the childish language games. Capitalizing the word “black” but not “white”. Avoiding the word “woman”. Writing the same line repeatedly. The fact that they think such pedantry makes them more convincing shows how detached from reality they are.

Hey Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) - are you getting any complaints about Starlink 4-months-free promotions in the UK? Currys are one of the authorised resellers promoting this offer, but after purchase Starlink customer service claim it doesn't exist.
