I am genuinely shocked at the lengths countries and their media will go to to shut down debate on the ongoing Israeli genocide of the Palestinians.

Germany - of all countries - should know what happens when only one side of a debate is allowed to be heard, for example.

The greatest trick Israel has pulled is to muddy the waters such that they can claim any criticism of their actions is anti-semitic. It's not the same thing, as can be seen by the very many jews who criticise Israel.

This. This is so spot on. I could rant for days about the damage Thatcher & Reagan did to the world. People think Obama and the orange guy were consequential presidents - they weren't. They didn't really do anything much. We're still living in a Reagan/Thatcher world!

Those giant new Ford Ranger utes. I fkn hate those things on the roads.

But I was in one last night as an Uber, and I really liked it inside. Hashtag conflicted.

My first act as PM/Monarch/Supreme leader will be to mandate that all movie/book series' are numbered sequentially.

No more Thing, Planet of Thing, Return of the Thing, Things, Origin of Thing that you have to look up on Wikipedia every time you want to watch it.

I have SO MANY different shows and movies unfinished on SO MANY different streaming services and downloads and apps that I can’t keep track any more. It's very confusing.

I started watching a movie last night that I'd like to finish tonight - can't remember on which app though.

Honestly think I'll just go back to 🏴‍☠️ everything.

Phil Davis and Gary Oldman back together again on my telly - oh happy day!

This time it's in Slow Horses. If you can tell me what they previously starred in together, you win a prize!

(It was over three decades ago and is possibly Oldman's best ever performance.)

(No Googling!)

This white non-slip material. What is it called? I want to get some in black but I'm not sure what to search for.

$205 for a brand new iPad Pro today. Pretty cool. Officially it's a "battery replacement" but they just give you a new iPad so that's a win. Hopefully this'll last three or four years like the last one did.

My daughter texted me from the shop "which do these do you want?". I replied "yes please!"

Birthday present arrived. Not sure why the kids have to put my age on the card though, seems unnecessarily cruel 😀

@Amy You were asking about watchOS 10 beta and batteries. This has been off the charger for about 13 hours. Usually it would be at 50-60%, it's a fairly new watch.

I have never once intentionally saved a draft on @ivory but somehow I have 203 drafts in the app 🤔

Trying to delete an Instagram account. You can only do this from the web, not in app. Go to the help pages in mobile Safari, tap on "delete account" link, it deep-links you back in to the app.

So it's impossible to actually delete an account!

Day two of working my notice period at corporate. Will I survive another 40 days of my notice period? 😀

Ten years ago today I gave a talk in Cardiff lamenting the state of software development. Basically talking about enshitification before that word was invented 😀 I fear things have not improved since then!

This is absolutely disgusting. Organisations that are among the richest in the world want bailed out - fuck that!

Isn't it curious how capitalism is so amazing that socialism needs to bail it out constantly when it completely fails.

Hey @ivory, it would be nice to know a video is too large before attempting to post it. Is that possible?

Also, WTF is the size limit on Mastodon, because I don't think a 45 second video should be hitting it whatever it is.

Urgh. Sick. Shivers, temp, headache, etc 🤒

I got a loan car from the dealer as my brand new car is in for a small fix (windscreen washers not working). Which is fine, except it has a huge BYD on the side 😂 Hopefully only for a day or two and I don't need to drive around like this over the Easter long weekend.

Great result for Ferrari in the #AusGP. Good that Sainz won it by taking the lead rather than getting to P1 because of a problem with another car 👏

90% (99%?) of the problems you have writing apps are nothing to do with the UI framework you use.

I "need" a new iPad this year and I'm seriously considering an Android tablet instead. 99% of my tablet usage is watching things so there's no reason I need the extra cost of an iPad for that. The convenience of Notes etc on it is occasionally useful, but I could live without it.

My car has, essentially, an Android tablet in it and it's really good. It's got me thinking maybe that could work.
