The sheer amount of typing / domain levels in these endpoints that you have to remember tells you everything about AWS’s DevEx journey.

@TLRailUK @SouthernRailUK Ya but why no direct bus, Kieran? Why we gotta stop at all the inbred places???
English
It’s genuinely insane there’s no longer a direct replacement bus service from Three Bridges to Brighton. Here’s to another mid Sussex bus tour with a bunch of losers going to places like Wivelsfield. Fuck you @TLRailUK @SouthernRailUK
English
@TLRailUK I'm confused (sorry!). Are we saying that the advice you issued (but deleted) earlier today is correct – that a ticket isn't required on the rail replacement buses, and that a ticket should be purchased from Three Bridges instead so that the "Thameslink only" ticket is available?
English
@BenjaminEHowe Apologies - that would be the one. I seem to have revisited. ^Kieran
English
@TLRailUK Your website won't sell me the Thameslink ticket though? The cheapest travel card that your website will sell today is £17.30 – see the screenshot that I sent you.
Perhaps we should go back to your original reply, when you said I could buy a ticket from Three Bridges instead?
English
@BenjaminEHowe Hi there, you wont be charged extra - the Thameslink ticket will be accepted on the Southern buses. ^Kieran
English
@davwheat_ @TLRailUK They originally said that tickets weren't nescasary for the replacement bus, but they deleted that tweet 😂
English
@BenjaminEHowe @TLRailUK You might also be able to favourite the ticket for another day, and then quick buy it for the day you want.
English
@TLRailUK If it helps, here's a screenshot showing the tickets that your website offers for today (left) and for next Saturday (right). I don't think passengers shouldn't be charged extra because the railway line is closed for engineering works and replacement buses are operating :-)

This whole segment just rubs me the wrong way
Jensen is very clearly talking up his book: wanting to see companies spend *much* more $$$ on GPUs / tokens... to increase NVIDIA revenue even more... to do the same thing as they already do (build software, as they have before)
TFTC@TFTC21
Jensen Huang: "If that $500,000 engineer did not consume at least $250,000 worth of tokens, I am going to be deeply alarmed. This is no different than a chip designer who says 'I'm just going to use paper and pencil. I don't think I'm going to need any CAD tools.'"

Up from £1.43 for Diesel, remind me how Labour are fighting the cost of living crisis - they made.

@DragonflyDoji_ @DanNeidle @grok Did Grok cite any sources, or share any calculations? Or is this just a load of nonsense? 😅
English
@DanNeidle @grok Grok gave me a 87% probability that you’re not being fully transparent and are purposefully manipulating the narrative. Interestingly it only gave me a 7% probability that Samuel Leeds is misled on his knowledge of tax. Interesting.
English
More tax nonsense from "influencer" Samuel Leeds.
"I just sold my castle. On paper, I lost about £3.5m. But here is the part most people will not understand. It is also a tax write-off... the loss can be set-off against profits"
No it isn't, and no you can't.
Oh dear.

@TrueNAS Smells like CentOS, this kills TrueNAS for me, a Homelab enthusiast / freeloader.

@GergelyOrosz I assume it's this version? Doesn't look like it's possible to buy it any more 😕

@BenjaminEHowe I bought my version years back, paid once, have no account! The reason I bought it in the first place

This cancellation dark pattern is slowly killing Adobe
It turns promoters (customers who love the product and pay for it) into vocal haters
I am an example as well who got tricked into the sub you cannot cancel without a penalty. I will NEVER buy or recommend Adobe again

great, i have to pay to cancel my adobe subscription most pathetic way to get me to keep my subscription lol
English
@GergelyOrosz It looks like Affinity was bought by Canva and requires an account? I know they claim it'll be free forever but I'm skeptical, especially if (or when) AI features cease to be an effective premium feature.
English
I found Affinity thanks to Adobe’s hostility for PDF editing (I have zero affiliation, beyond paying for it - it’s a one-off payment, no sub)
Screenflow for video editing (also pay once)
SO MANY alternatives, none which have Adobe’s unethical “pay to cancel now” pattern
Curious Coder@curious_coder1
@GergelyOrosz What are other options available that are as good as Adobe?
English
@vinke_rob @SouthernRailUK In the spirit of backup equipment, perhaps you should've planned to travel on an earlier train so you had a "backup" train service in case your planned service was cancelled?
English
@SouthernRailUK I’d rather have a functioning service for the £3k I pay per year. Compensation isn’t useful. In my company we have backup equipment so we look after our customers. Maybe Southern should do the same.
English
Morning @SouthernRailUK. Care to explain why you’re cancelling a rush hour train? #southernfail

@SouthernRailUK shout out to your colleague doing announcements at Gatwick Airport station – super helpful in enabling passengers to re-plan their journeys following the decision to terminate 9T63 at Three Bridges.

@just_some_dev Looking at the BoE's press release it seems like a reasonable process has been followed? Don't get me wrong, I'll be sad to see Turing disappear from banknotes, but hopefully £50 will be one of the last to be replaced as has historically been the case.

@BenjaminEHowe Yeah but generally they refresh with figures and they are stopping that in favour of not

Alan Turing was a guy who was persecuted by the state for who he is, getting rid of his note is clearly abhorrent, but we don’t need to whitewash Churchill to acknowledge this
Ed Davey@EdwardJDavey
Winston Churchill helped defeat fascism in Europe. He deserves better than being replaced by a badger 🦡

@techspence I drove 2 hours, after being told that something was definitely the case, to find out that it was, in fact, definitely not the case.
