If you haven't already guessed, I've moved over to Mastodon - you can follow me at mastodon.org.uk/@rbairwell (aka @[email protected] ). I doubt I'll be posting here in the future until something drastically changes.
. @TheAA_UK have just lost an 18 yr+ loyal customer due to an excessive auto-renewal price on breakdown (£310, retentions offered £110 - RAC offered £90).
Stop penalising loyal customers.If they offered the £110 as the renewal price, I wouldn't have left.

Just a reminder that my social network of choice is currently mastodon.org.uk/@rbairwell - which unlike X/Twitter is not owned by a right wing tRump supporting billionaire.

Just a heads up to #Wordpress people: Spoof email going around regarding "CVE-2024-46188 Patch" : this is NOT an official patch by Wordpress.org (my copy of the email used the domain name "gb. *en-wordpress* .org") and it creates an admin account+emails attacker details
You would think in these days of electrical appliances recycling/WEEE, companies would offer some sort of "trade in" of their old products for their new ones to help retain customers... I'm looking at you @Synology (need to replace our failed 8bay DS1815+ )

Hey @mbna if you want me to call you about a dispute, please can you let me know what to say on the IVR to bypass frontline people and let me know when the waiting times are less than 20 minutes...A dedicated number would be best..

UK friends, there is a worrying trend I've seen across the country. Some sick bastards have decided it is ok to be shooting animals with high powered air rifles. I've seen/heard of a few foxes being shot, have now heard a friend's cat has been killed Please be extra vigilant.
" Musk, who turns 52 later this month, also tweeted: "I have this great move that I call 'The Walrus', where I just lie on top ... & do nothing."": that's what his ex's said ( bbc.co.uk/news/business-6598… )

British folk: I think 13:12 today would be a good time to introduce youngsters to 1992's The Lawnmower Man...

Capita calling on behalf of DWP with a thick accent and poor quality telephone line "Can I speak to X who we have down here as hard of hearing?.." *sigh*

I couldn't be bothered to check the calculation on this shelf edge label for a box of wine in @Asda yesterday, but I'm pretty sure that unit price (price per centilitre) isn't correct.
ALT A shelf edge label showing a 2.25litre box of wine for 12.95 pounds, but a unit price of 431.67 pounds per 75 centilitres.

Does any one know of a customer data leakage from @DrayTekUK ?
Just had (18hrs ago) a spam email sent to an email address unique to them.

I've been on this hell-site for 14 years now... I doubt I'll still be here when the 15th anniversary rolls around...

Many of Twitter's most recognizable features were invented in third-party apps, and we're thrilled to see what those developers are now doing with Mastodon. Powered by open source, we can promise: Mastodon will never charge for API access!
Say goodbye to practically any Twitter apps you use - which might include those which show your tweets on your site, that companies use to offer you support, that you use to login to other sites...
Mastodon has a free open API and lots of growing apps by the way (hint hint!)
Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵

People say that Mastodon hasn't improved the UI in ages: youtu.be/zV8Q0WOYoag proves you wrong!
Ofc, if you want a more Twitter like experience, have a look at at tapbots.com/ivory/ for iOS (by the developers of Tweetbot RIP) or Tusky for Android tusky.app/
