James Howard @jem72.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It really feels like the @nytimes.com doesn't care about its paying customers. After subscribing for several years, I get constant nagging to upgrade to a family subscription which I will never do. 100

James Howard @jem72.bsky.social · 23/01/2026For the love of God could the @nytimes.com please stop trying to sell me a family subscription. I will never buy it and I'm close to cancelling the one I have because the incessant popups and emails are so annoying. 000
James Howard @jem72.bsky.social · 15/09/2025I had sworn off @adobe.com after the last time they ripped them off but I needed to do something with a pdf and they were the only option. Acrobat is now €20 per month. Luckily I only needed it for one job so I did a free trial. Which still cost me €1. 000
James Howard @jem72.bsky.social · 15/05/2025As we're having our usual monthly @irishwater.bsky.social outage, I'd love to only have the average 27 hours per year of water outage. I'd say this year we'll be looking at around ten times that. We've had about 5 days so far this year. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...irishtimes.comLost water supply in Republic ‘three times’ longer in duration than UK’s worst areasRegulator ‘very concerned’ about number of people on boiled-water notices for more than 30 days 020
James Howard @jem72.bsky.social · 08/05/2025This NYT interview with Bill Gates is just phonomenal. He tells it as it is - the Trump administration (and its "Christian" backers) is killing millions of kids. The contrast with Elon Musk could not be starker. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/m...nytimes.com 000
James Howard @jem72.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Given his Pulp Fiction role, I’m not surprised Christopher Walken doesn’t wear a watch. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ja...theguardian.comNo phone, no watch, no problem: should we all be more like Severance’s Christopher Walken?The 81-year-old actor has revealed that he has no streaming services, has never sent an email, and doesn’t even know what time it is. Perhaps he has found true freedom 030
