  A service I recently cancelled because I couldn't continue using it without downloading another freaking app called me wanting to know why. Quit making apps mandatory. I'm at a stage in life where I feel like I've learned enough to happily live it with the skills I've got. Even for products & services I've used for decades, introducing mandatory apps (or make it almost unusable without) will make me cancel quicker than anything else. /rant

  You may know we like a #parkrun. Both of us (we're a husband & wife team) run and volunteer regularly for our local one. You may also know the billionaire sponsored hate group "Women's Sports Union" (note: they want to regress women's sports and there's nothing uniting about them) have given Parkrun a deadline of Friday before legal action is taken because men, women, and everyone in-between go for a jog on a Saturday morning while volunteers with a stopwatch time...

  I was in Scarborough at the weekend. Took one photo, a sign pointing towards salt water.

  Save £5 on multipacks until 17th August, and you'll get 4 of our new coffees to try (unless you add decaf, we still have lots of decaf in so there's no new ones in this delivery). https://roastinghouse.co.uk/buy-coffee/coffee-multi-pack-4-x-250g/ #Coffee

  As a business that's had employees (we're Director run currently), reading the drinking culture report of MPs is insane (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/aug/01/mps-stomachs-pumped-uk-parliament-alcohol-culture-report) Any place of work providing any alcohol is bad idea imo but a few lines stick out: "some MPs have had their stomachs pumped" - disciplinary, some paid time off, seek help, employer support "drinking up to 200 units of alcohol...

To which I can only say: I find his lack of faith disturbing.

  Some customers, I send them a #signal message (if they have it) to say where their coffee has been left. We have reusable boxes for customers that are on subscription where we can deliver and collect ourselves. The auto-response has totally misread the situation. Glad I didn't accidentality click one. Also, I've looked to turn it off, but can't find it in keyboard or signal settings. Anyone know where to go? #Pixel10 #Android

  RE: https://mamot.fr/@homlett/116562277532502424 As a company that refuses AI, I think this maybe be a good idea if done correctly. I've seen logos that say "No AI" but then crossed out. So AI? But the problem with labels is that you often have to buy them. So the startup that is doing good things won't spend money on something unnecessary. For example: We buy #coffee from farms that have organic practices or pay a fair trade but buying these labels and goin...

  Nice day today so some #coffee deliveries that I might have done in the car or sent in the post I did on the #ebike. Fun #cycle generally. 27km in just over an hour. No major hills. E-bike allows me not to get sweaty. #Bikes = 👍 #Bike

  Second time volunteering at a #Waverley Lakes #Parkrun today. Did pre-event set up which allowed me to run it too. I did feel like a bit of a spare part as it was set up quite quickly by people who knew what they were doing but I will probably become that person one day - learn by doing/watching. No PBs as carrying an injury right now but a fun morning. #WaverleyLakesParkrun #WaverleyLakes #Sheffield #Rotherham #Orgreave

  Anyone in #Sheffield that supports #bikes, sustainable #coffee, and indie #smallbusiness that has a public space with a space to leave flyers and wants to help out two businesses, we have had some printed for our partnership with FERAL EXPRESS who are a #queer owned independent #bicycle cargo #courier collective. Here's the flyer. Full text is in the alt-text. DM us if you have a space and I'll drop some off next week. Feral Express's instagram is https://www.instagra...

  RE: https://social.coop/@afewbugs/116504693190145349 Oat milk is the best milk to put in coffee. Although good high quality #coffee, that's not overly roasted is best black and how we recommend and roast to drink. Also, if you do choose a gluten free oat milk then you remove most allergens in what you are serving thus reducing your risk as a business.

  @keepandroidopen Just reported Google to UK's Competition and Markets Authority. We're a de-googled business (as much as you can be), we intentionally remove any tracking of our customers who don't consent us to collecting data just to buy a bag of coffee. We're lucky enough to come from a generation (90s) where the internet was good (it really was) and this philosophy of being able to go about life without every private enterprise spying is one of our core v...

  A sack of #coffee handed over to couriers Feral Express. So, if you're in #Sheffield awaiting coffee from us and you see this person on your street, delivery is probably imminent.

  @jwtownshend@toot.wales because it makes me feel guilty and a little bit depressed. Although I use PAYE to pay us and usually straight forward, I still have to complete them and I either see questions that make me question is every submission correct and I convince myself I'm going to jail for a misunderstood question. The sadness is hard to explain but it always seems to suck the energy out of me and take at least 48 hours to recover.

  9th April and I'm already seeing some UKers talking about doing their Self Assessment tax returns. Less than a week since the tax year ended and you have eight months to procrastinate before this task is due. Things I would rather do than my self assessment: Read X (fka Twitter) Listen to Joe Rogan podcast Eat Glass Use AI (for anything) Use a festival toilet for a week Drink robusta coffee Drink instant coffee

  @twp@hachyderm.io Decaf is really popular atm and we've specialised a little bit in it recently because one half of Roasting House is now caffeine free (we have also become incredibly middle aged). We actually have four decafs in so the multipack 4x250g) (best bargain and best seller outside subscription) can be 100% decaf if you choose. https://roastinghouse.co.uk/buy-coffee/coffee-multi-pack-4-x-250g/ Or there is the Big D (2x750g) https://roastinghouse.co.uk/buy-coffee/bigd/
