@davidfarrier … related? Localisation company got ‘compromised’ that works with Amazon whats-on-netflix.com/news/netflix-a…

From iOS 18 onwards every single message or email or notification to an iPhone user will soon look like this: "today at 5pm do you want to <action>" where action is something like "save money" or "learn which celebrity died" etc

iOS 18 Siri daisychaining commands like Cortana was doing on Windows Phone in… 2015.

@SteveHWrathall @TimFWelch Haha. Lol. 🤦🏻‍♂️ well, *more* incentive to catch a bus I guess 😬 That sounds like it needs some more work!

@DeeMickSee @TimFWelch But the buses are public transport. Their stops are now in the MIDDLE of the road!

@SteveHWrathall @TimFWelch Cycleways aren’t public transport 🤷🏻‍♂️ And also not covered in a 50% discount. That’s stuff like buses, trains, and ferries. It’s 100% free to use a bike, either under Labour or National

@TimFWelch Public transport "improving" our transport 1news.co.nz/2024/05/02/arg…

@katie_pai lol, eh. Like, the thing they’re trying to do is to ignore advice and do whatever they want. So, no. But yes I took great care anyway Also got in a ‘joint’ ministers joke too. Not enough cracks at that so far 😆

Do you think the government will take on any of the public submissions for the fast track bill? I suspect they will ignore public input like they have on many other things

@Arowin DuckDuckGo / Bing usually alternate in that spot.

@DeeMickSee Wait, you actually use the Google homepage and not just search in the address bar?!?! 😊

welp. It was a good run Google. What search engine should I be using that doesn't do YouTube ads on its homescreen with mandatory widgets?

@danslevin @nzonscreen NZ’s version of ‘United 93’. Taut, harrowing, essential. Great piece

Can you even imagine the conversations going on between shots here

@AugurDivine Siouxsie Medley of Dead Sara Gussie Larkin of Earth Tongue Bombino Max Kakacek of Smith Westerns Mike Kerr of Royal Blood should get honourable mention for literally playing bass ‘guitar’ on their 2017 album IMO Ezra Koenig of 🧛 Weekend is underrated

good rock guitarists of the two thousands other than ray torro and omar r-l???? struggling

@katie_pai Thoughts and prayers. And good inflation vibes

@DeeMickSee I’m in the same boat, i have one coming up and fixing the floating renovation mortgage (which has been 8% during renos 🤪)

Kia ora, everyone’s thoughts on interest rates? Are we fixing for 6 months - 1 year because rates are meant to come down or …? 😬

@katie_pai (To be clear I have multiple mortgages against same home. Not multiple homes 🤪)

@katie_pai In Oct 2023 we refixed one of ours for 18 months. Now I’d go for 12 months My calculus at the time was - sadly likely still Ukraine/Russia ongoing through 2023 - China might have a rough 2023, better 2024? - NZ govt tax breaks might cause temp minor inflation - post US election

@mattzollerseitz Peak International Box Office (78%) era

Looked this movie up because it’s on tv at the moment and was stunned to discover that it was not only a hit but a HUGE hit.

Kiwis would feel happier, but don’t wanna get accused of being tall poppies so settled for #10

@nakedfoul The best I can do (other than ones I’ve seen in the thread) is these runs from Beck and Bob Dylan. I can imagine some people being a 1/4 for them, and others maybe a 2.5 🤷🏻‍♂️ Weezer and Cardigans did a 3.4 ABBA and Björk v subjective but I jam them in a row a bunch

No one has made four good consecutive studio albums., it's impossible

Feel like Paw Patrol The Mighty Movie does a real out of character moment when Marshall starts shooting fire balls out of his firetruck.

WFH at the beginning of summer, as you kill that one fly
