I guess all that meowing meant "please empty the littery tray so I can go for a giant dump as soon as you have cleaned it out”

Same thing happened to me, although the reset@was much smoother and it took about 5 minutes. https://mjtsai.com/blog/2024/04/26/janky-apple-id-security/

@ianbetteridge Ooh! This happened to me at 4am this morning on my iPhone. I was able to reset the password but I was confused/annoyed at having to do so. My password is long and very random. The laptop is still being a bit confused as to what has gone on.

@ianbetteridge I spoke too soon - my phone is prompting me to sign in again. I am going to ignore it for a few days, I am guessing this is some sort of bug that Apple need to fix.

    @rooster it’s not a coincidence that the word for bread turning into the body of Christ is “transubstantiation”.

    Apprently the reasons for Chirk Car Boot Sale being so fucked up last weekend because of rain and stuff wasn't because the dickhead that runs it didn't put straw down or anything on the the car park. It was because the World Governments were cloud seeding other countries. Fuck me dead.

    @mw1cgg I thought that was most car boot sales. Especially the stalls selling lots of used power tools.

    Idea for a TV show: “Is it gak?” in which minor celebrities snort a variety of white powders, and try to determine which one is the Bolivian marching dust.

    I think I might spend the day cycling down to Portishead while listening to Portishead.

    There is a WWII anti-aircraft battery en-route and also some new pylons are going in as part of the Hinkley Point project.

    @solderandchaos there was a pigeon painting on a market stall in Bristol earlier today. I could t buy it because:

    My wife may not have approved (which means it would be another painting in my study)

    A little bit of insight to disgust you before a weekend. A local school not only selects based on the faith of the parents, but parents also "pretend to be religious" to get their kids in. And, one local church even has a "church passport" that gets stamped to "prove" you turned up, for this very reason.

    Told you you'd be disgusted.

    It is unbelievable and disgusting that (correctly) an private company cannot discriminate on this basis, but schools are allowed to.

    @bloor @interpipes devilish if you ask me.

    Speaking as a developer, as always case-preserving-and-insensitive filesystems can fuck off into the bin.

    @Floppy I have been playing around with Microsoft Fabric. After years of SQL Server being case insensitive by default, I find that Fabric's SQL Endpoints have been set up to be case sensitive for schema, table, and column names 😬
