  What's a good alternative to #Mozilla #Firefox without crapware ? I just fresh installed it and had to remove widgets and VPN button. Then launched it again and some widgets and the VPN icon had come back! Balls to this. I had already been thinking it has been crappifying for a bit and today is the lastni want to put up with it.

  I find it incredible that the maintenance instructions for this cell site must include "bring your own boat". There seems to be no other way to physically access it. #infrastructure #5g #boats #canarywharf

  How can the trains be so messed up by a radio comms failure. ARGH. Feels like I will never reach my destination.

  Why do companies use #ai chatbots? What's happened to step 2? Why is it blank?

  #AI support chatbot going totally mad. What a world we live in.

  This is a genuine email from #Microsoft yet it lacks an unsubscribe link, the unsubscribe link is missing from the message headers and the from address is "noreply" as the name but the address in the envelope is "replies@microsoft.com"

  @peternocturnal@sfba.social I've been doing that in Portugal the past 3 weeks. It's much more difficult to figure out than the change to driving.

  What the hell is this. I've not bought a VoIP number for ages and almost every provider now seems to need Photo ID, a recent utility bill and, in some instances, company registration documents and an app / webcam proof of being a person check before you can buy a number. Wow. Mad.

  I wish customer services were better these days.. Trying to call a car rental company to extend the rental (you would think something they would welcome as they get to bill be more money) but it's eternal hold music. Nobody answers. ARGH.

  I am feeling particularly fussy today and I can't work out why. It's going to be a long day :\

  @neil I believe in love at first sight (or within two or three dates).

  @fesshole@mastodon.social I and my (then) wife would often wake up without explanation at around 3.30 each morning. It was only by chance that one day I was already awake then and heard one of the Alexa's talk! Turns out a routine set for that time in the morning was failing to do something so Alexa would announce it but not loud or long enough for us to realise it during the sleep disturbance.

  @joyousjoyness@mastodon.social I love the smell of rosemary.

  @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io same. I also can't do things like pottery painting or art as I have zero ability to visualise what I want or could do.

  @pwaring@social.xk7.net I'm ignoring it for as long as possible. Such a stupid idea to remove the ability to file free with HMRC directly. What's the benefit!?

  @staustellsimon@infosec.exchange @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk oh right.. and - obviously - the app needed me to sign up for an account!

  @MLE_online@social.afront.org I learned that a long time ago. Slow pans and record for much longer than you think is required. Slow pans if moving the camera really is important too.

  @Erased_Citizen@cupoftea.social I generally find it ok.. the worst thing is not being warned when it's about to do an update to the door controllers over RS485 - leaving doors locked until the upgrade completes HOURS later. (due to slow speed on RS485)
