PhilUnless this REALLY picks up in the final two episodes, I’m baffled by this review. I can’t wait to get it over with. The plot is “Spooks” levels of “espionage” nonsense. Thompson’s character, while likeable and against type, is hardly transformational. Whereas, Ruth Wilson playing an e...
It did not pick up. It continued to be mostly ordinary and more than a bit daft.
I made a *monkey user script that simply hides the #related sidebar on YouTube. I use YouTube for ambient noise (like this video) to help my concentration but (ironically), I often get distracted by the sidebar content when I go to switch it on #adhd
The one where I get very annoyed with my email provider
I had a similar thing from Dominos. They sent me an email that explicitly described itself as a “service message” from survey@feedback.dominosmarketing.co.uk
So, I emailed their DPO and they, obviously, just waved it away. How is anything that directly encourages me to engage with a business for the business’s benefit not direct marketing? 🤷
Where does your customer feedback function sit? Under marketing. So, gathering customer feedback is a marketing activity? No.
Is there maybe space for another ballroom? Or some other sort of redecorating project? Can’t be THAT hard to find something to distract him.
Managers so quick to dimiss complaints about workplace software until they actually have to use it.
“Why do we have to do it that way?”
Can someone with time on their hands do a “Who said it?” quiz with #Trump versus Kim Jong Un, please?
We have a dedicated Discord server for our little hobby group. It’s been going six years now. It’s a wonderful safe space.
Today, though, this happened:
The Online Safety Act has struck. Some of my server buddies are a little outraged but I’m not too fussed. I’m absolutely onboard with the intention. The internet is full of horrible shit that I’d never want my children to see. Or my Dad, for that matter; not unless he REALLY wanted to.
But, as we all know, the implementation is useless. Not least because it’s completely avoidable.
Case in point: I asked the member if he’d been asked to complete the age verification process before he posted the gif. He had not.
So, we can all browse this sensitive content (on Tenor?), via Discord, without verifying our age, just as long as we’re looking at it in the “add a gif” dialogue?
OK. We’ve now established (work intrudes) that it was a gif of the chestburster scene in Alien. I’ve checked and I can, indeed, browse exactly these gifs via the dialogue without having verified my age.
I just… I’m speechless.
Twelfth Night in the Netherlands became so secularised, rowdy, and boisterous that public celebrations were banned by the Church.
Who knew the Netherlands had such a rich tradition of banning people enjoying themselves 😜
Family coming for lunch Sunday to celebrate Twelfth Night. Promoted me to ask my wife why the Magi get added to our felt Nativity during Advent. I was shushed. Also, if that was when Jesus received his gifts… why do we do gifts in Christmas Day?
Back to work today. "Started" at 8:45. Think I'm nearly awake now.
