Donald,
you and your MAGA clan followers have created one monumental worldwide #clusterfuck...
I suggest people in this world no longer have any trust or respect for you... and I also suggest that many countries in the world have no trust or respect for the USofA... and that may well be irrevocable...
Your Presidency is an absolute sham and that's all on you...

Why, for the love of the Pond Gods, do people insist on contacting IT Support on behalf of somebody else!!!
If you were ill, would you ask someone else to go to the doctors for you?
How are we supposed to help when we're not speaking to the person with the problem?

#renting in 1997 vs 2025
1997
We rock up to the local #realestate agent in a beat up Corolla. They hand us a clipboard with a printed page of all the houses available and a short description. They hand us the keys for all of the houses. We go inspect all of them, by ourselves, and when we hand the keys back we sign a contract for one of them. Sharehouse portion is $65/week. Happy days!2025
Jesus. I don’t know. There’s apps you have to download. Inspections have to be scheduled. They are always at stupid times like 2pm Wednesday afternoon. The agent is a smug prick. You are rushed around the apartment with 30 other prospective tenants. It’s advertised at $650/week but you overhear another couple saying they are going to offer $690. Rent bidding is still illegal btw. If you want to apply, it’s too late. You should’ve pre-applied last week through this third party platform that charges extra for ID verification and you have to provide your bank details and three personal references and a whole summary paragraph of why you deserve a roof over your head. Ugh. #RantOver -
For the love of The Pond Gods. Nobody works around here!
Just nipped up to the local Garden Centre (Hollybush) in my lunch hour and the car park is rammed, the cafe come restaurant, they have is chockablock and before anyone says "The kids are off." there was a generous cross section of ages when I got in there.
I only saw five or six kids.

@Waxingtonknee Rain for us, supposedly. Mind you, I wouldn't trust the @metoffice to sit the right way on a toilet, let alone get the weather right. And their so-called forecasts are always London/south-based.
That's why I always sneer at these reports, "UK warmest since 1327" What they're really saying is Kent has been the warmest. 🙂

In the good old days, you would target a company, ring them up, and try to find out who the manager or director was responsible for the product or service you were selling. You would either
a. Try to get put through to them.
b. Write to them.
You would work at the sale. These days it's "Ooh! He's head of..... Hello there, would you like to buy my shit?"LinkedIN was about offering or seeking employment, but users have turned it into a shark-infested pool of so-called salespeople.

@tofticles @tokeriis @IO hvis det var en leder, så ja, så ville den definerer mediets holdning. Jeg læser den mere som en klumme/kickstarter.
Og … Jeg er ikke nødvendigvis enig med hende, jeg synes blot ikke, at indlægget burde føre til et totalt boycut af alt hvad Zetland laver og skriver fra nu og i al evighed. Eller give anledning til endnu en skyttegravskrig. -
Remember children. If you're going to buy a refurbished laptop (or PC), it's refurbished, 2nd hand. Someone has used it before you! It is not NEW and probably not the latest piece of kit.
Most resellers make peanuts on 2nd hand kit so you asking fifty bazillion questions because.
A. You can't really afford it.
B. You're worried in case it's not what you think.Is an utter, soul-destroying pain in the fucking arse!
Oh, and asking for pictures makes me want to tell you to "Fuck Off"

Also, while it's a sweet idea that the USA has decided - for now - not to impose tariffs on UK goods and services because our Prime Minister was 'nice' to their President, it just might be because we've made ourselves geopolitically fairly irrelevant over the last nine years
And one final thought: When Starmer says he doesn't think there's a choice between closer ties to Europe or closer ties to the USA... unless he's planning to cosy up to China, he's flatly wrong. That's *exactly* the choice he has. And there's only one sensible option

CN homophobia, rant
Today my son told me that a classmate found my Instagram profile (which contains mostly #pole fitness content) - and shared it with the class.
According to the class I'm
- gay (and they're using that as an insult)
- a stripper (insult again)
- a firefighterMy son doesn't want me to hide anything but knowing that he's already being harassed I don't necessarily agree.
Obviously this is not (only) the kids fault, the parents also didn't do a good job educating their kids about tolerance and diversity. May I scream at all of them?!
It's the conviction that "that which is different must be punished" which gets me. I was naïve and thought that people in our generation learned that such a behavior is not acceptable.
But no, they either haven't learned or at least didn't pass it on to their kids. -
I just discovered that the Bureau of Meteorology are "improving some of the climate website services".
Sounds good. Tell me more!"The Bureau will no longer:
- issue fortnightly Climate Driver Update details
- publish Climate Model Summary charts and data
- issue El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Outlook Watch and Alert statements including the ENSO dial.
"Um. OK. This must be some new meaning of the word "improvement" of which I wasn't previously aware.

I have spent the morning in M365 hell.
Dear Microsoft. Get a bloody grip! Why do I need three separate locations for implementing GDAP. Thanks for making me jump through your authenticator hoops and why do I need three tabs and your refusal to accept Chrome or Firefox so that I have to use your shitty Edge.

It's official! Price hikes, mystery fees, ad overkill, anti-sharing policies, tier-based pricing, and poor content. Streaming is just internet-based cable vision. Can't wait until #streamcutting becomes a thing. I am beginning to cancel as I type this!

Text messaging (as SMS, MMS, or RCS) is so cringe to me.
Gotta have a phone with an active phone number. Phone has to be on to work on other devices. Never change your phone number. Risk of losing messages when switching phones. Sometimes you never know if the message was actually sent. Competitor devices don't play nice together on how they send/receive messages.
So. Many. Things. Wrong. With. This.
Telegram- no phone needed once set up.
Signal- no phone needed once set up.
Matrix- only needs an email account. Don't even need an active phone.
Deltachat- Only needs your email and uses your email as the chat server.
Sessions- No email or phone needed
SimpleX- No email or phone needed.
XMPP- No email or phone needed.

The climate crisis is already happening. If you want to bet on technologies to support the transformation, they need to be in existence and deployable today.

So a couple of people have said to me, "They've got plenty of money!" (i.e. pensioners) Even the wife said, "Have you seen all the pensioners in Marks & Spencer?"
My response is the same as Jeremy Clarkson's. "So, in other words, you work hard all your life and put some money aside so that your retirement, where you have no other income other than your pension, is slightly more comfortable and along comes a group of people who notice you have a couple of quid and take it off you to give to some workshy layabout. And they call that socialism."
I'm not angry because I already knew this was the kind of thing Labour does and will always do. The Labour Party may well change its outward appearance, but at its core, the only idea they have is to take from one to give to another. Labour's idea of 'growth' is to increase the size of public employees so that:
A. There are more union members.
B. Employment and wage increases are guaranteed. -

Wanna know why I'm a moaning caaant? This is why.
A guy has a 2011 PC running W7, but Office won't activate on it. He sends us a second PC he's found and asks us to transfer everything over. The only trouble is that it's that old story: "If it's slung up the back of a cupboard, there's a reason." It's a 2009 PC!
I offer him an i5, 32GB 256 M.2 plus M365; he tries to tell me they have a bunch of M365 licenses and "Can't we use one of those?" after telling him to basically fook off, he then says, "Well, you can have it here in a bit can't you?" I have to explain that; basically, he's wasted the morning, and now our guys are starting lunches, and if he's lucky, he'll have it this afternoon.
Why do people take three weeks to decide and then think they can have it within the hour?

@neil What annoys me is that this has to be the most cynical photo opportunity playing on the anguish of a community, and yet she's not being vilified for it. If that were a Tory MP, the press would be out for their blood. This is why I say the British news media is infested with socialists willing to subvert stories to meet their agenda.

@george It pisses me off when people spoil their papers or encourage others to spoil theirs. Either vote or don't vote. Spoiling papers is the sort of thing fence sitters do, the types that complain about political parties but never let on what their political allegiance is.

#WorkRemote #RantOver Co-worker just complained about us not getting together for in person meetings WHILE CALL IN FROM HER PARENTS HOUSE IN ECUADOR. Has she set up a staff event? No. Has she invited me to her city for an event? No. Has she been to my area for an event? Actually yes, but she didn't tell me she was here and I found out from another co-worker.
#okBoomer (I don't actually know how old she is but she's acting very boomer rn)

@alper Agreed. Notion or any other structures note taking app / environment foster better bookmarking and discovery. I think the collaborative writing in Gdocs feels magical to folks. But that process goes haywire and another bloated & discoverable doc gets lobbed on the heap.
And don't get me started on the utterly maddening sharing system for Gdocs. I have a discord server full of those stupid links since no one can find docs we're working on.

In a kinder, fairer and more accurate world, "vulturous" would mean beneficial, tidy, sanitary. A "vulture capitalist" would be someone working on making a circular economy profitable in the real world.
It may seem like a meaningless point to harp on, but vultures are poisoned and shot all around the world mostly because of our long-standing prejudices about them. Word choices matter. Vultures are great. The world would be better if we were all more "vulturous".
