@wizzair Incredible to amount of attempts at identity theft that I received in response to this. A shame that Wizzair's own customer service isn't as attentive as the bots that want me to send them my email and phone number!

@wizzair Boarding a flight from Vienna to Malaga I fell fowl of Wizzair's nasty policy of closing online boarding 3 hours before take off and charging 50 euros for checkin at the airport. Worse I was told the flight was overbooked, so I had to pay 50 euros to *maybe* get on the flight.

@wizzair This goes against wizzair's own stated policies wizzair.com/static/docs/de…, and in fact it's the responsibility of the airline to ensure that the customer is made aware of their rights when denied boarding.

@wizzair At the boarding desk, rights under E261 to offer compensation to all other passengers for not taking the flight were systematically ignored by Vienna ground staff (sub-contracted by Wizzair). Despite my requests they insisted that they would see if anyone didn't turn up to fly.

@SEUR @travelclub_es Nunca había visto tanta incompetencia. Hace 4 días creé 3 tickets en el 'sistema de atención al cliente' y no he recibido respuesta. Quise cancelar el pedido en cuanto hice el pedido, pero fue imposible. Puro robo. Cualquiera que trabaje aquí debería estar avergonzado.

@KonstantinKisin I'm no fan of identity politics because it's a massive distraction from important issues. How is that related to climate change specifically? Yes, climate change will be solved by tech progress and work, not behaviour change or protest. Specific connection between the two points?

@djvalerieblove 1) “Bitcoin and PoW is bad for the environment.” 2) Other cryptocurrencies have more “utility” and are faster and cheaper to transact with.” 3) “Criminals use Bitcoin for illegal transactions.” 4) “Bitcoin isn’t backed by any real value.” 5) “Bitcoin has no real-world use case.”

I have yet to meet someone who has thoroughly researched #Bitcoin and the fiat system and is against Bitcoin. The arguments a person brings up against it always reveals they haven’t put in the time to learn.

@LisaColdstorage @djvalerieblove Also, I read the bitcoin whitepaper in 2009. So I have done a bit of research. Not saying Bitcoin is going to go to collapse, though I wouldn't be surprised as crypto matures. I'm saying it's a terrible replacement for national currencies. As are all crypto that I'm aware of.

@LisaColdstorage @djvalerieblove Above is all true. More importantly, Bitcoin is structured as a deflationary asset and lacks the basic properties of currency. Also bitcoin is fiat. I'm all for Hayek's denationalisation of currency but bitcoin isn't it. Crypto as a whole probably is.

If we actually want to #StopPutinNOW this might be the most effective way? Is there some reason why there is no precedent for this tactic in modern conflicts - seems like the most humane way of ending conflicts. twitter.com/tsalfield/stat… @Ukraine @gavofyork #StopWarInUkraine

@elonmusk @FedorovMykhailo Can we please use Starlink to offer internet access to Russian troops? Redirect them to a page, offering $40k and EU/US passports to desert, offer instructions on safe desertion. Just $6B to buy Putin's army, who don't want to be there anyway. Obviously block Russian state media.

@elonmusk, while you try to colonize Mars — Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand.

@divalbanerjee @tjrwriting Well, most CAD files are effectively proprietary binaries. Deep down they are BREPs which can be represented as text, but usually aren't. Much better to think of them as trees or technically DAGs. If anyone is serious about solving CAD file diffing, we're hiring!

@tjrwriting They are! You could actually do version control with git. The hard part is visualizing diffs
