"... 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 theguardian.com/us-news/2023/o…

So yesterday I was asked to investigate a suddenly broken website, and it turns out that @onecom have arbitrarily installed three ‘one.com’ Wordpress plugins. Disabled those 3 plugins and now website working again. Great job @onecom 😠

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?

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. go.nasa.gov/3OqRl73

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

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.

Hello @iplayer, it is now 619 days since I first tweeted you about this. We desperately need a ‘mark as watched’ button. EVERY other streaming service has one.

The four pillars of the Internet. If one down, users feel the heat 1 @Akamai 2 @fastly 3 @Cloudflare 4 @awscloud What to do now? Go outside. It is not the end of the world. Wait a sec, outside is also infected with viruses and lockdown. Maybe put a double mask and then go ;)
