Looks like #Mastodon is trending on Twitter as more and more people are announcing their new profiles. Welcome to the better social media that does not belong to a single company and cannot be sold, welcome to the fediverse!

1.. g5 is an impeccable strike. I simply love #Chess960 #frchess (Fischer Random) for its capacity to make #chess games captivating from the very first move. @MagnusCarlsen and @GMHikaru are the ones to watch…
Where do NZ folks buy physical (tech) books from nowadays?

UPDATE: The Investigatory Panel will be composed of Salomeja Zaksaite, Vinzent Geeraets, and Klaus Deventer.
I don’t think we can blame Swift UI for this one, can we @AppleMusic? And if you do have a chance to look into UI bugs, can we please have all the buttons visible? I find the on-hover approach both non-discoverable and also frustrating.

Stadia is shutting down in January. The declared reason is that it didn’t pick up enough users. What I’d love to learn about one day, is what went wrong: planning, execution, pricing, partnerships, etc. It certainly doesn’t seem to be a technology issue. blog.google/products/stadia/…

I first saw cheating in chess back in the 80s. It involved chess books being hidden behind toilet cisterns. Those were analog times.
My statement regarding the last few weeks.
Do I know anyone who doesn’t like grilled halloumi cheese?

Dear rest of the world, you will probably be seeing Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann on your timeline today. Chess is a wonderful game - you should give it a try. We're just having a little drama right now.😄
Liking how the artwork gets the spotlight but the spacing and the corner radius feels really off. #iOS16
That was beautiful rugby, @IrishRugby! Well deserved series win, you were better than the @AllBlacks #NZLvIRE

It’s hard to describe the feeling of relief I feel every time I return home to Aotearoa after a multi-week trip away. It’s like a mix of gratefulness, duty, and aroha.

The @FlyAirNZ staff A-T @CHC_Airport were amazing and offered me a seat on an earlier flight. After 2 days of flying, this is just amazing. Thank you!!

Romania decided to undertake a census. But it didn’t manage to employ enough censors or to create a self-serve mechanism. The fines are about to come into effect, so chaos ensues at the National Institute of Statistics. Can’t make this up.

“To Uber” used to mean “To catch a cab”. Maybe it’s time for it to mean “To do something dodgy af”. bbc.co.uk/news/business-6205…
TIL the impact emergency alerts have on anxious elderly people. It’s paralysing… at least on some.

Today I’ll find out if 4.5 hours are enough to transfer between two flights at Heathrow.

It was plenty. It probably took longer to pick up the @SixtRO rental car from Bucharest… The whole shuttle service is farcical. Luckily the car is the best I’ve been given in years… Can’t win them all.
