@RoyalMail @RoyalMailHelp No post on Friday either @RoyalMailHelp - maybe today will be our lucky day?

@RoyalMail @RoyalMailHelp we've not had any mail deliveries this week & have items that we're expecting that have been sent 1st class. Our neighbours haven't received mail either. Your website says mail is being delivered normally - this isn't the case - why isn't that accurate?

@lawrjones @CircleCI @lawrjones appears fixed for us now 🎉 hope it is for you too🤞

@lawrjones @CircleCI I've submitted a support ticket. The status page is all green - classic 😞

Anyone else having issues with @CircleCI ignoring the "path" specified with "checkout" when checking out code? Seems to have started ignoring ours ~10 minutes ago and 💥 🤔

@lawrjones @CircleCI We have a "working_directory" specified, but then we also have "path" specified for "checkout". It seems to be ignoring the latter and falling back to our "working_directory" instead. Some logic definitely seems to have changed and broken this.

@davidwinter @CircleCI It looks like they checkout code command has changed which is causing the clone to put things in a different (and broken) place.

Seems like an outage or severe degradation with GitHub around the globe, yet their status page is all green. Been happening for 20mins at least from my side...

Based on this issue, seems like the @commitizen project isn't maintained anymore 😞 Any recommendations for cli tools for Conventional Commits to replace cz-cli? github.com/commitizen/cz-…

@ask_Arlo I tried to get an answer from support, but they couldn't help. I have a Wired Arlo to replace a Wired Ring doorbell. I don't have a chimebox. Installation instructions say to install Power Kit on chimebox. Can I ignore this step and still use the doorbell?

Imagine that you couldn’t attend the funeral of someone you loved and then you see the Deputy Prime Minister defending Downing Street drinks because *they’d* had a gruelling day?! To those of you who don’t have to imagine I am truly sorry. The PM is a disgrace.

Today has been nappy ARMAGEDDON 😬🤢💩💩💩💩🤮🎻

Early start. London Stock Exchange bound. #ipo #mtec @madetech

Our two-year old can now open doors… thankfully not the stair gates… yet.

@EmileSwarts No emacs. No colemak. The intention is to be able to do more work. Not less. Slacker!

@davidwinter Luxuries unrelated to doing real work

First day with a Linux (Ubuntu) laptop as my main work machine… ☑️ Video didn’t work first time ☑️ Microphone didn’t work first time ☑️ Bluetooth headphones connected but not detected as audio output I really want to make this relationship work… but… I NEED TO WORK!!

@steviemulcahy Probably! Though I don’t have time to set Arch up, or truly want to use it as intended - hence Ubuntu for something that would _hopefully_ (and it mostly does) work out of the box.

@davidwinter Arch and pipewire is the way

Managed to fix the issue with Bluetooth headphones not consistently working on Ubuntu!! 🎉 Using wired headphones instead 🤨

@burgersnatch @EmileSwarts I know… who would have thought! But I couldn’t face a MacBook Pro with that awful touch bar and keyboard, and wasn’t allowed a new MacBook Air *sobs to violin music in the corner* 🎻

@davidwinter So many questions. @EmileSwarts did you knowingly let this happen?

For beginners, or less computer-literate - seems like a fantastic OS that I would happily get my parents on!

For moderate users, it’ll be frustrating for them if they want to use familiar apps like Firefox and Spotify as you have to dive into the terminal straight away to install the Gnome/Snap software catalog apps - not a great UX

I was really tempted to use @elementary, but tried that on my personal machine and the initial experience felt locked down. I couldn’t install Firefox with the default app store for example, and @snapcraftio apps don’t have a good experience either.
