Everytime I watch it I’m amazed the BBC haven’t managed to do anything about how much the iPlayer encoders hate Gladiators. Loads of pyros, massive video walls/floors everywhere, and fast moving motion seems to make them collapse into something that looks like it was shot on VHS.
@Thayer I’ve been known to buy hilariously overpriced terrible headphones from Smiths in similar situations.
Just sent a bunch of emails which I’m massively excited for the potential of if they come back with a yes and having to remind myself they might not.
I’m convinced the iOS keyboard has some secret sequence of button presses which turns off autocapitalisation and autocorrect because every now and then I do something, the keyboard vibrates, and suddenly it stops doing anything useful.
@Edent ohh, I was playing that game yesterday. Always bet on DHL over Yodel.
my mother in law talking about her ideas for hobbies after retirement
"i could do video presentations on things like how to navigate insurance, dance, exercise..."

"that way i can present boring concepts but do it as an animal character"

Over the last 9 months or so I’ve discovered I have a really quite intense fear of heights and falling. Regrettably I’ve discovered this at the same time as the fact I really enjoy bouldering as a form of exercise.
I feel like it’s getting better but it’s definitely hindering by progress a bit that anytime I get near the top of the walls, have to make a move I might miss, or (god forbid) encounter a top out boulder I instead give a hearty “fuck this” and climb back down.
@pikesley possibly not so much an issue with a bowl that wide but I’ve read of cats getting whisker fatigue from sticking their face in a bowl to eat.
Someone suggested not pulling any April Fool's pranks this year and I think we all need to get on board with that.
Because, you know, all this.
ios user interfaces have become truly nihilistic. buttons on top of buttons. text on top of text. multiple inscrutable hamburgers. nothing has any meaning and all human action is futile
Just got the third onboarding customer success email from a service today, “Why [service] customers stick around”.
Unsubscribed.
Good news everyone! Copper tier, the self-service, <£1000, online checkout sponsorship option for @emf is now available! You hold a corporate card, I know you do. Go on. Stick the details in. Just a lil sponsorship. Call it learning and development spend. We won’t tell.
I have no idea how anyone at ITV signed off on shipping their TV apps. The tvOS one loses its mind anytime you background it while playing video, it’ll come back being very upset it’s not had any video frames in the last 3 weeks. Meanwhile the Android TV version just refused to let my Dad watch the football with a friend, it just said it needed his postcode to be updated despite his account already having one attached.
Honestly it’s very keen humans and not bots!!
My number one email today.
@gsuberland @endocrimes there’s also another sale in April, and tickets get intermittently released in the run up as requests for ticket refunds come in.
14, 11 of which were topping one boulder on my first attempt before bouncing off everything else. Really fun day though, I feel like there can’t be many sports where you can enter a competition at your local gym, have a fun time doing terribly, then watch a Team GB athlete demonstrate just how much better the professionals are than talented amateurs during the finals in the evening.
