Two notifications received from @n26 today: one was a marketing message, and the other was about a payment. So obviously both were sent via the second "Other" > "General" notification channel… 👍

Looks like the @GoogleDrive team didn't quite understand the concept of Notification Channels in Android 8… #androiddev

@levelsio @basilio_io @patrickc @stripe Stripe is rolling out Pix support starting with accounts in US and BR: docs.stripe.com/payments/pix

@basilio_io @patrickc @stripe This would be sickkk

I gave OpenClaw an export of my Apple Health data and asked it for some interesting analysis of heart rate vs travel data. It figured out that it could approximate my location from workout GPS annotations plus time zone stamps from other logged datapoints and then produced a bunch of interesting charts.

@hamen All my email, calendar, contacts (and some file storage) are on Fastmail. Open standards. Scheduled email sending. Fast web UI. Mobile app with offline access. Last week Claude built me an email auto-cleanup tool using their API… I'll leave this here: join.fastmail.com/9aeac0a8 😎

I'm thinking of going back to Google Gmail/Calendar. In the era of AI agents, MCPs, APIs, I'm really struggling with @heyhey calendar and mail being an isolated silo that can't communicate with other services. I really want to support @37signals. I have been a happy customer for years but this is not working anymore with all the people and tools in my life. I will take some more time to decide, but this is not looking good.

🆕 stripe-terraform is now available! Manage @stripe resources as code: versionable, reviewable, and easy to diff over time.

@MarkEWaite Congratulations, Mark! Your retirement is very well-deserved after your exceptionally prolific contributions to Jenkins and its community. Enjoy your last few weeks, and the new adventures ahead!

I'm retiring Jan 30, 2026. Special thanks to @CloudBees for 8+ years on @jenkinsci . I will continue contributing to Jenkins after my retirement, increasing my involvement in some areas and decreasing my involvement in other areas. Onward to more great adventures!

@hamen Cloudflare sell domain names at cost price, without any markup, so overall you've perhaps just made them a loss due to credit card fees… 😅 (But yeah, the free tier is huge, so it's hard to give them money! Maybe one day I'll get a paid Workers plan…)

It took me years to "persuade my hamster brain" but today I finally decided to buy two domains from @Cloudflare to give them some money after years of using their products for free. Thank you for your patience, people 🙏😬

HMRC's digital assistant is comically bad. Strongly suspect that I might be conversing with a BBC Micro.

Finally! 🥳

@f1multiviewer @F1 Very misleading to keep showing 360° camera feeds, which aren't streamed from the cars… unless this is magically changing for this season 🤔

Thanks to the person at @Webflow who added the trigger type and collection ID in all the new v2 CMS webhook payloads! 🥳 Zero thanks to the person at @Webflow who omitted the collection ID when retrieving a CMS collection item, meaning I can't re-use the data model… 😩

@raycastapp This is nice, but does it really need to *kill* a blocked app, if I switch to it for a second, whether on purpose or not? 🤔

@levelsio 👌 Why don't go to grocery stores?

I'm building a chatbot to help me loose weight. It works like a friend who knows a lot about nutrition and holds me accountable. It's not done yet, but the daily calorie meter already works and is super helpful. Any suggestions for good ways to form habits?

@irnbru Not bad 👌

I know what we’re leaving out for Santa…🎅 Mulled BRU Ingredients below 👇 330ml Can of IRN-BRU ½ Orange (sliced) 1 Cinnamon Stick 2 Cloves 1 Star Anise Fresh Ginger #IRNBRU #Christmas2024

I think @DuckDB is starting to rival `jq` as my handiest command-line utility… cat payments.jsonld | duckdb -c "copy (from read_json('/dev/stdin')) to '/dev/stdout' (format csv)" (in fact, I should maybe just make this a shell alias)

@AccidentalP Snake Denton?

I just ran into this non-intuitive case with @Kotlin JSON serialisation… A `data class` field with default property value won't appear in the JSON output — even if you explicitly provide it in your constructor call! 🤔 You need `encodeDefaults = true`: #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" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">play.kotlinlang.org/#eyJ2ZXJzaW9uI…

tooling matters for building quality products. at @stripe, we have deeply simple way for any employee to file a bug or nit: email a screenshot or video and a LLM makes a ticket and routes to proper team. result: we 6x'd # of bugs filed, leading to 1000s of fixes just this year.

@MichaelkausB @StochasticStat1 @yuval_abraham A few other city/cinema sites have it: google.com/search?q=%22de…

@StochasticStat1 @yuval_abraham Nothing I'd known of. And I'm working for the German distribution company. I'd be interested in examples.

Berlin's official city portal just wrote our film No Other Land has "antisemitic tendencies". A film that won the Berlinale and was recently invited to a special screening in the German embassy in Israel. It pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel's occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians. I feel unsafe and unwelcome in Berlin of 2024 as a left-wing Israeli and will take legal action.

Good news: you can now read your colleagues' messages with the gravitas they deserve! The @SlackHQ desktop client has added support for Comic Sans…

@racefansdotnet Yes, because I use the RaceFans Google Calendar, and it wasn't updated… 😅
