Ahhh excellent, email from OVO Energy stating my bill is going up AGAIN, essentially cos Ofgem are utterly impotent. Rip-off Britain!

ars technica: we don't know how they did it but google chrome now extracts a pint of blood every time you log on

chrome user, dizzy from blood loss: I swear to god I am like this close to switching to firefox

another chrome user, on the verge of fainting from severe blood loss: no need to resort to that, just switch to [insert today's trendy chrome fork here] and be smart like meeee

I love it so much!

Firefox has made it SO EASY to switch to Firefox from Chrome, that you dont even lose your OPEN TABS.

Have you got 34 open tabs lol? And you lost uBlock ad-blocker today? (You did, you lost your ad blocker, because Google)

You dont even lose open Tabs! (And you get to install uBlock)

Fancy that.

So that's that: Firefox is now the only useful browser in the world.

Meanwhile, Google controls nearly the entire web browser market, far more than Microsoft ever did at the height of the original browser wars.

Using Chromium based products makes you less safe.

You can also...switch browsers and keep using #uBlock Origin despite what #Google wants you to think.

The 'other' extensions they speak of will only continue to work because they opted to voluntarily diminish their capabilities.

Such extensions do not work in your interest.

To go with this awesome summer we're (UK) having I'm sure I'm feeling the very early signs of flu-like symptoms ffs.

Haha, been having issues with a DPD delivery over the past couple days. Tried their in app chat and it get repeating the same crap. I asked if it was AI and to stop repeating and all I got was 'something went wrong'. 😂

Got another person calling me LOTS then a text saying "Who is this" so it would seem that scammers totally are now spoofing my number. Very annoying, it's one thing getting spam/scam calls and just blocking them but now I have legit people pinging me too. 🤦‍♂️

I’ve come out to watch every Scotland game and they’re essentially my second team but bah Christ they’re a hard watch mind. If England frustrate ya try watching and being invested in Scotland. 😫

Got two calls from a call centre sounding guy but from a mobile phone claiming that I'd rang him, told him I hadn't and there are definitely no outbound calls in my history, is this some weird new scam thing somehow?

Haribo seem to have made the jelly in Tangfastics (and I assume rest of the range) softer and I'm not a fan.

I've realised that Americans say "oftentimes" a LOT and it really grates on me for some reason. It annoys me nearly as much as "math" instead of "maths" which I've disappointingly heard lots of British folk adopting.

I seem to have been befriended by a young blackbird couple. Over the past week a male & female have been hanging around, singing, letting me get really close, and are often coming into the garage. I even had to pick up and rescue the male cos he came right in the house.

Is there anything worse than realising you've accidentally clicked to open a Markdown file on macOS and now the agony of Xcode launching as you think to yourself: 'For god's sake, remember to change that default, this happens all the time' during the endless wait.

Azure is beyond shit, their shit cloud is built upon an even shittier pile of shit APIs. 💩💩💩

A blackbird seems to have befriended my dogs and is coming into the garage where they usually are. I've just had to rescue him as he'd somehow gotten into the living room and was trying to fly through the window, my cat was watching and no doubt giving the poor lad a swipe.

"More than a dozen storms battered the region in quick succession between October and March, which was the second-wettest such period in nearly two centuries of records." So it was one of the wettest winters after all.
