I like how people that have retired early to make the most of their health are “economically inactive” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64083802

I’ve obviously been using the “Tweak new Twitter” plugin in Firefox (https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter/) for a LONG time. I just logged in without it enabled and… it’s just awful.

Broadly speaking I’m not anti-change. I’ve been using an iPhone since Android phones became uniformly enormous. The iPhone SE versions are a good size for me. But the new Notifications “Stack” in iOS 16 is appalling. I now have a huge space for widgets I don’t want and have been missing notifications for things.

It’s simple to disable it in Settings->Notifications and choose “List” but why enable the new Stack by default? Urgh.

I know it’s an old complaint but, wow, starting Windows after a decent break is a disaster.

I’ve got Windows Updates, Windows Store updates, Office updates and Sophos EndPoint all trying to do everything all at once.

How are at least the Microsoft systems not talking to each other?

Heaven’s knows I’m in no rush for Sticky Notes to be updated!

I *love* this new thing where your item has “shipped” but the tracking shows it hasn’t been physically collected from the retailer yet… and that was four days ago.
