@SwiftOnSecurity @_MrYosi Wait, you saying symlinks work with onedrive now? No more endless recursive files? I missed that important memo.

@_MrYosi It using a symbolic/hardlink so 99% transparent

Note that OneDrive is actually pretty good now. If you're having problems: - Install it machine-wide with the installer switch, get it out of user AppData - Check your registry for weird old GroupPolicy - If you use a proxy make sure you're on latest vendor recommended exclusions

@marcusbrig Beautifully put. Very evocative.

@HelloPalendrome @bytebln This happened to me a couple of years ago. I spoke to a rep over chat and got a year's price reduction that way.

@bytebln I heard about this from a fellow UK person too, but when I tried it would only let me have a discount for a few months. The offer for the year came up, I clicked on it but it says it wasn't possible...

Every year, Adobe sends me an email notifying me that they will increase the price of Creative Cloud from €29,99 to €52,06 per month (+44%!). And every year, I take the same steps to keep my old price: I pretend that I want to cancel my plan, stating it's "too expensive," and in the end, they offer a "special deal" for €29,99 for another full year.

@runevision I know you wrote hundreds of words to explain this chart but I still don't understand how it works.

I made new and improved versions of my charts to visualize how much you owe Unity for their per-install Runtime Fee, and wrote detailed notes on how to use them. Read here: blog.runevision.com/2023/09/charts… #unity #unity3d #unityruntimefee #unitytax #gamedev

@Parody_PM @RishiSunak The only reason I stomach the inane nonsense of @RishiSunak is to read your replies.

@RishiSunak We are working to fulfil the promise of the Good Friday Agreement, by threatening to leave the ECHR, which would break the Good Friday Agreement.

25 years ago the Omagh bombing shook this country and the world. But this appalling act of terror didn't break the will for peace. As we remember those killed and injured that awful day, we stand together in working to fulfil the promise of the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.

@tibo_maker I saw this tweet twice in my timeline. Hope that helps.

Recently 𝕏 made MASSIVE changes to their algorithm. I spent 20 hours going through 13,160 lines of altered code so you don't have to. Here are the golden nuggets I found so you can grow fast as a creator on 𝕏 🧵

@campbellclaret well done on QT the other night. The show was a reminder the differences are much more philosophical than fact-based, especially when ppl applaud "leave the EU as one united kingdom" and not "our kids can undo our mistakes".

@andrewhunterm I'm here for that new tree species in the illustration, and the implication that the transition from edenlike naivety to glittering modern civilisation is just a short stroll away over the hill. We must begin the trek before we ourselves are over the hill and must be jettisoned.

You can read the full piece here. It’s entirely in earnest, and I am not in any way joking to make a serious point about how thoroughly young people today have been let down. #Echobox=1685100603" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">inews.co.uk/opinion/drowni…

Six weeks ago I asked, as an experiment, for ways young people feel screwed by their elders today. Nearly 200 people got in touch in the space of a couple of hours. It was research for a bit of writing…

@DAVID_FIRTH I played this video at a party once. They didn't like it. 🥁

I predicted UK's Eurovision entry in 2009:

@Jackapedia_ @WebDesignMuseum Brilliant! I never knew it had a name.

@WebDesignMuseum Oof these are aesthetic. I'm hit.

@Little_Less_Ego @CJEager1 @DrProudman I appreciate all your attempts to have a conversation about gendered violence, but you won't get through to these bigots who joined the bandwagon a long time go. They don't want to know.

@CJEager1 @DrProudman So? What solutions do you propose, besides stigmatising all men?

@coolkoon @SwiftOnSecurity I'm curious to hear what you don't like about O365's android implementations.

@SwiftOnSecurity Too bad online Outlook is a royal PITA to use. I have it on my uni account and hate it, but alas O365's Android integration sucks big time so I'm kinda stuck with it. And no, its "inherent" safeness wouldn't make me change my mind over it either.

Honestly, using the online version of Outlook is safer because Office attachments get interpreted on their servers for display. It would be ultra stupid difficult to get an exploit past that layer AND the Chromium sandboxing.

Interesting isn't it @campbellclaret when and how the audience in your brexit debate laughed and when they applauded. It was important that Mishal Husain noted they were there without knowing the topic. You did well with only 1/4 representation.

@campbellclaret Am I the only one who thought it was a pretty facile question to ask? Would have been fine to Johnson because of the 2019 election, but not to Sunak. Imo. Not advocating for Sunak here.

Indeed.

@hewittdavid3 @RichardJMurphy It can have some influence. Sure you don't buy groceries FROM a civil servant, but they are competing with you to buy the same stuff from a for-profit company. I'm not suggesting it's the biggest cause of inflation: that would be profiteering.

@RichardJMurphy Also they don’t add to price inflation. When was the last time you bought groceries from a teacher/nurse/civil servant?

When a public sector worker is given a pay rise around 40% of it goes straight back to the government in tax and total national insurance. Then when they spend more tax is paid. And the recipient then pays tax too. In fact, most often more tax is paid then the pay rise costs…….

@poloshot @ThreatNotation I've never heard of "The Chord" you speak of and I've been a chorister for nearly 30 years!

@ThreatNotation Is “The Chord” in Oh Come All Ye Faithful really a thing?

I’m home for Christmas, so feel free to ask me anything about music, music history, music theory, or running a bizarrely niche gimmick account, and I’ll do my best to answer!

@danglinghemmie @NotABigJerk I too hate everyone 🥲

@RevJimLaw @bbcathedral @BBCOne Your tweet has made me realise I was invited to sing at this service quite a while ago and I completely forgot because the message came at a bad moment! 😬 Hope it was really good, fun and heartwarming. ✨

Lights camera action: @bbcathedral looking stunning as we wait to celebrate the coming of the messiah. If you want to watch tune in for the live broadcast on @BBCOne

@PaulSam45812051 You know they're confident in their argument when they've turned off replies to avoid rebuttal.
