When they go "yo", we go "hi".

Hmm. @NortonLifelock says a site I have worked on is a "known dangerous site". (It has been scanned etc: it's not dangerous.) Tried to sign up and verify the site: got an error message. Clicked the feedback link to ask for help: another error message. Nothing works. Unimpressed.

@tautokai @benmackey @MorganGodfery They have already said this, several times. Large groups (ethnicities, towns, age cohorts, etc) with low vaccination rates are dangerous for them and for all of us. The 90% target applies to all these groups and overall.

@benmackey @MorganGodfery Well let’s hope they either stop talking about a 90% target or explicitly refer to a 90% target for all vulnerable population groups.

@kimgoodwin Aesthetics has trumped usability at Apple for many years. Usability at Apple is a shadow of its former self, but at least it's a beautifully rendered shadow.

“...a new uniform shape for app icons adds consistency...” There used to be people at Apple who understood usability.

@daemonblade Thanks Felix for helping me complete that tweet. 💤

@daemonblade As a user, I wouldn't mind shifting to something else with a reasonable migration path. But as a developer, WP has a huge user base. This is poggers.

WordPress.org just closed my #WordPress plugin, citing trademark infringement. But they didn't tell me what trademark was infringed or whose it was. This seems draconian, or is it just an error? #WordPressDevelopment

Did you know that it’s actually possible for you to say, “I don’t know enough about this to have an opinion”

@sir19631 @ClintVSmith @RenamedPM Most landlords charge market rent. That's what "market rent" means.

@aunties_the Last CPR course I did, we discussed this. It can be awkward to deal with breasts when doing CPR or using a defibrillator. This can make inexperienced people hesitant. I thought it might be good to have a wider variety of dummies to practise on.
