To help you with Plastic Free July (or Life!), I’ve started writing down what we do. Maybe you have advice for us? ludwig.nz/zero-waste/

@thomaslebas Today.

What day is it?

Cool, I’m done with this particular version of 🐦. See you on some kind of 🐘.

Can’t figure out how to search for people to follow on the 🐘. Why this so hard?! Like, I don’t mean it’s hard to match my Twitter graph, I can’t even find the UI to search for people manually so I can follow them.

@benward I want to do this. Do I actually need to run a service?

"Brown will not say how much he will raise rates in his first term until he understands the state of council finances, but says they will be less than this year's 5.6 per cent increase." Today's Wayneism is brought to you by the number 7.

But like, if he has it, and he shared it because he thinks they should sell based on that information, that’s ALSO really bad, right?

Either Wayne Brown has access to market sensitive information and he shared that when he shouldn’t, or he was lying to the Council to get them to do what he wants them to do. Neither is good.

I’ve noticed Luxon does a lot “on principle” because he hasn’t got the details and then harangs the government for “ideological spending”. These are the same things.

@tashmahal Consider the impact you could have though!

@NeonNZ seems to have updated their Apple TV app to use standard OS video player. I see you and thank you. The previous situation wasn’t working. This one does.

oh my god

Whenever I see Mastodon things on Twitter I’m like: is this just email but public?

The whole X-app thing (Musk’s app) being “not possible on iOS because of 30% cut” is such a stupid argument because the value is “being on every phone in every pocket”. Apple created that value with the iPhone and the App Store. The App Store is X-app.

A US court has temporarily banned imports of New Zealand fish caught in the habitat of the Māui dolphin because the South Pacific nation’s protections for the critically endangered species are not comparable to those in the US trib.al/74v2tgF

Not enough is made about how much we destroyed to build "Spaghetti Junction" -- bowling entire walkable neighbourhoods (largely populated by working class folk) and paving over parks to build the least efficient transport system known to mankind

It just clicked for me. @BenThomasNZ got Wayne Brown elected so we’d all agree to finally abolish local government.

Howick has the worst PT access I have come across in Auckland and it’s because they keep electing shit like this. Honestly, you deserve it. I don’t want to hear anyone who voted for this guy complain about PT in Howick, anymore. You can change it. greaterauckland.org.nz/2022/11/07/mod…
