i found out about cmd+clicking tabs in firefox not long ago, and it's pretty much my favourite thing: cmd+click a few tabs, right click, close multiple tabs -> close other tabs 👌

almost a year later, @AWSAmplify remains one of the most broken, dangerous pieces of software that I've ever had to use

@braz @1Password @dteare Unfortunately, reading @dteare’s responses today, he is choosing not to hear the complaints of his users. He fails to see that no matter how good an electron app you make, it will *never* be as good as a well written native app. And he has (had?) a good Mac development team.

Electron in @1Password 8 is SO frustrating! I love the UX but the most important part of a pw manager BY FAR is security & compromising on that by adding the attack surface of the whole web platform is simply not an option. Any suggestion for good alternatives?

i really like @WatchNebula, but holy hell it almost never works on Apple TV! videos just saying “can’t play”, or like right now just showing a black screen with a red NOPE 🚫 icon in the track bar infuriating!

i really love the idea of @WatchNebula, but wow do they need to work on their Apple TV stability! every video, from 3 different creators today was “couldn’t play” boot time is like 45sec with just a spinner... what are you doing?

0 seems like a pretty objective non-failure to me! find a new dog whistle; you’re a disgrace @sophieelsworth. but we don’t expect decency from @newscorp

Can't decide how I feel abt EC2 image builder: On one hand its cool that it "just works" (as much as anything w/ IAM complexity just works), on the other hand wow is it SLOW Still, it's a great tool to have even for just bootstrapping a golden AMI so that you can use Packer/etc

there is nothing good about @PrimeVideo ... the UI is clunky, you still have to play for plenty of content, ads at the start of videos, can’t purchase content in the app, weirdly splitting seasons up to look like different shows, the “last watched” feature not working properly...

SSM is a useful tool, but denying SSH as an org policy is not useful. SSH is a general purpose tool that's used by a lot of other software, and SSM is not a drop-in replacement. SSH is just considered to be part of your toolkit, like grep/less/readline

git-merging JSON is one of the most error-prone, frustrating, yet seemingly simple engineering tasks

. @gitlab CI runners need a fargate executor. or better yet, skip the runner and just spawn new runners in fargate on demand!

Everyone in Melbourne is allowed to complain about lockdown and it doesn’t meant they are anti the lockdown measures it means we are experiencing a collective breakdown and want to scream. Okay.

this is how you do tech conferences in 2020 and it's pretty great: airplay to the tv breakfast and coffee in bed brought to me by the boyfriend talking about our shared new knowledge with one of my favourite people @ForsakenDAemon #PyConlineAU

4 business days now and a $50 prepayment, and still no response from @Googlecloud support about an incredibly basic limit increase. they say 2 business days pretty much seals the deal on my "learning for commercial reasons": will NOT recommend to clients @Google @Googledevs
