And on the pedestal, these words appear: "To build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0, we will need to be extremely hardcore." Nothing beside remains. Round the office on Market street, open-concept and bare, The lone and empty desks stretch far away.

Everything that @elonmusk has done publicly so far to Twitter seems like exactly what I'd do if I wanted to ensure the entire platform ran straight into the ground, and fast. His actions and words make it really hard to see how this isn't actually his plan.

USA, go vote today!!!!

My wife plays violin in a local orchestra. Tonight they started Sibelius’s 3rd symphony. In her score, she discovered my handwriting from when I made notes on the same copy of the same part of the same piece when I was in the NZ Secondary Schools Symphony Orchestra in 1994.

So apparently the TSB banking app is failing, and users are being presented with an error message “Not enough good slaves” - which, to non-technical users, is unexpected. I do feel that the move a few years ago to remove master/slave terminology from computing was the right one.

i can't believe jacinda ardern met with boris johnson and now his cabinet is resigning. is there anything she can't do.

Tell me you worked for Canonical without telling me you worked for Canonical

@DaniElainaFore @tedjgould That changes what used to be a single dialog into two successive dialogs. Even worse if the files you see listed in your chosen destination make you realise that you actually want a different format from what you chose in the previous dialog.
