How does a software defect "only last a millisecond"? If it's a defect, then it's been in the code since it was written.

Watching the Italy Scotland water polo. Unusual rules. #M6N

Further proof that Thames Water aren't fit to run a business. I get an email asking me to fill in a survey about a telephone call I never made to them, which links to a subdomain of theirs with a revoked security certificate. You could not make this stuff up.

ITV have just announced (on Lorraine) that they are starting their countdown to Christmas. What insanity is this, or is it an indication that currently there is nothing in the world that seems designed to lift spirits?

I just found an A4 print of my two Zaphods picture. If you want it Follow, Like, Repost and Reply with your favourite Hitchhiker's quote. #TowelDay UK only because postage.

I love Worldcat's definition of "near".

Finally found something I miss about the other place. Threadreader App. I see there is an Unroll bot here but it doesn't seem to be working and all the listed unrolls are from 2023.😒

Wow! What a deep dive and how revealing.

Saw this on the ex site but think it needs broader coverage... spread the word. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Hey @nico56.bsky.social, welcome here, you would have made it easier to find you if you had provided your new i.d. for here on the other place though.

One algorithm I wish this place had was hiding reposts from people I follow of other people I already follow. Seeing the same lost multiple times gets tedious.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #4,310,520! Given how long it had been going before I joined it looks like growth is exponential, or at least there has been a recent growth spurt. I can't think why 🤔

Just got my new blue UK Passport. It only cost ~£85. Oh and massive queues at passport control, and food shortages due to border checks, stunted economic growth and a trashed NHS. But hey its blue. #BrexitMeansBrexit I've been had!

Do I really need Yet Another Social Media Stream?
