How do I get rid of the World Cup results from the “for you” page of X? It is not for me, I do not care.

Is it just me or is Claude like twice as fast in the mornings? Basically until the US west coast wakes up then it starts getting slow 🤣

Who the fuck even came up with .yml It’s a YAML file it should be .yaml

Really hoping my 2018 TV can last as long as possible. The enshittification really hit smart TVs hard the last few years… 😢 Tried using my dad’s TV over xmas and it’s been updated to have “AI” sound and image processing as well as an AI chat bot 🤮

Hot take or just a take? Quality of Apple hardware has gone up over time, a significant jump with Apple Silicon. Conversely Apple software seems to be declining 😔 Just had to delete and re-add my Google account to MacOS because calendar failed to sync. Not the first time!

Just me or is Apple liquid glass giving Windows Vista vibes? I’m not sure how I feel about that…

How tf did Apple not natively fix the issue yet where you can lose menu bar items behind the display notch?! 🤦‍♂️

Just call your new microservice “thing-doer” then even if the scope changes later, it’s still descriptive!

2.5 years into the AI craze, and I continue to firmly believe that if your company wasn’t already interesting/succeeding without AI, then doing “whatever plus AI” isn’t going to save you. For the few that seem this way (eg Cursor), I think their moat is a lot weaker than it seems. You have to play the game and the game is AI, but I don’t think it’s a defensible foundational capability. Might play out as an excellent land and grab strategy to buy you time to fill out the meat though.

Since I left Cisco in 2018, I have not seen a meeting room video system which comes remotely close in terms of UX and quality. I'm on a call right now where somebody has a Zoom room and it's bloody awful. It's impressive they found a microphone that shitty in 2025.

So the @monzo app is threatening to charge me fees and reduce my limits for not using the account enough. Monzo has been my only account with salary + all bills going there for many years. What makes it worse is support just ignored me and closed the chat after 2 days 🥲🙃

I've used Monzo for 7 years and never really had any issues. Even contacted support a couple times and they were great. But this experience has been really terrible; what the heck happened !?

This was the third time of being told "someone will get in touch" after 2 days of waiting

Yet again @tedkravitz's notebook is available to watch on YouTube before I'm able to watch it on my Sky Stream box that I pay £43 a month for! @SkySports what are you playing at? Suffering compressed as hell 25FPS YouTube when I'm paying you for UHD.

Just tuning in to the Shanghai Sprint on @SkySportsF1 and I think I am detecting some more @CroftyF1 influence with the #LimpBizkit 🤘🎸👍💯
