jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I hope all the people pouring over Jason Arday’s resignation letter with AI detectors feel good about themselves this evening. The guy got caught in a web of lies, paid the price with national humiliation, but people just had to keep kicking. 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Is it just me or was the national phone alert for wildfires that just went out rather unnecessary? I'd hate to think of how many women there are out there trying to escape from abusive relationships who just had their secret burner phone go off like a fog horn. 001
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 26/06/2026If Apple keeps cancelling their middle and upper tier processors, we’re going to stop buying them (they’re rumoured to be cancelling M6 Pro/Max) over a base model. If you want to cancel, cancel the whole generation. Don’t screw your biggest spending customers with your old crap. 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Can we all just agree that Blair had his moment in the Sun and needs to keep his beak out of politics now. Any person who suggests the UK should get closer to Trump is totally morally bankrupt. 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I’m ashamed of how this country now treats trans people. That we have an equality and human rights commission who now actively promotes discrimination against a vulnerable group in society. Future generations will judge those who cheered it on. 140
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 21/05/2026I see Andy Burnham continues his race to the bottom - we’re now on performative immigration nastiness. Most short-lived political saviour in history. At this point I’m wondering if Angela Rayner or even Wes Streeting might be a better choice… 021
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Oh well, Andy Burnham failed the very first test to rule out actually changing something significant. Guess he’s been all things to all people up until now. 010
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 13/05/2026I’m sorry, but the idea that anyone thinks Wes Streeting of all people is going to be our saviour is just mind boggling to me. 010
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 28/04/2026I had no idea how bad Windows had gotten. It’s almost unusable now - just installed 11 on a clean VM four times, it’s just a nightmare. Forcing me to use online accounts, insisting on USB keys I don’t have and never created, failing to recognise my password, errors on even inputting my PIN. 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 06/04/2026What kind of moronic court judgement would cap compensation without linking the cap to inflation? 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 25/03/2026For anyone who’s been put off by the cost of Apple Remote Desktop and the lukewarm reviews: I wish I’d ponied up for it years ago. Together with Tailscale it is so much nicer to support family using it than messing about with zoom sharing. 010

jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 24/03/2026I’d love to charge Apple for the 1.2 billion times I’ve hit CMD-C and then CTRL-C because I don’t know which one is mapped. Why couldn’t they just use the same key as everyone else? 100
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Only Apple could make an over-priced high end monitor worse. £3k for a 27inch display is a complete joke. 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Didn’t realise that Peter Mandelson had become such a bonkers, toxic, apologist for the exercise of raw military power. Glad he no longer represents the UK. 010
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 26/12/2025Why do Apple make the iMac such terrible value? In fact the iMac plus the inflated cost of the Studio Display make putting together any kind of all-Apple desktop a non-starter. You have to buy at least some non-Apple gear to get any kind of value. I’m willing to pay an Apple tax, but £1000? 000

jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 14/11/2025So let be get this straight. The chancellor has been indicating there will likely be income tax rises at the budget because it’s best for the national interest, but now she’s not going to do it to save Starmer from a challenge? These people are gutless and incompetent. No vision. No courage. 010

jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 06/11/2025When I last tried Debian, I was annoyed it took, like, three floppy disks to boot (I am that old). Now I try again, and it’s still shit. I need to install old versions and all the mirrors are broken and basic ISOs missing. 000

jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Tell you what. OpenAI has a way to go convincing people to use their new Atlas web browser. Nowhere on the page for it does it say it’s a web browser. Nowhere. WTF? 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 29/09/2025So let me get this straight. If I pay for the content on Apple TV+, I can’t watch a show on my iPad and mirror it to the TV at the same time ‘because DRM’, the iPad screen goes blank. But if I had just pirated it, then I could. Right, got it. 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 26/09/2025Of course Starmer thinks what we really need is an ID system. Can we just get this over with now rather than wait until after the local elections? It’s such a waste of energy. 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 18/09/2025Anyone with a Disney+ subscription should join me in cancelling. Disney just fired the US later night host Jimmy Kimmel at the slightest pressure. This is a pathetic attack on free speech and it has to stop. The only thing these companies will understand is us refusing to be their customers. 020
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Really not sure about the new iPhone 17 Pro design. The back and logo placement weird me out. And they’ve made the Apple logo too big in other places. Tiny details matter. I feel like they’re on the start of the shark-jumping ramp. 210

jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 10/08/2025@garyseconomics.bsky.social I broadly agree with the idea of wealth taxes but after looking at the numbers aren’t you overselling it a bit as a solution to inequality?Consensus seems to be a 2% wealth tax would raise £5bn - £20bn. Of course that’s welcome but it’s not game changing. 000

jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 23/07/2025The only reason I can think of to explain why ‘The Pitt’, a spiritual successor to ER, isn’t available in the UK is because making decent drama is now banned. The industry can’t afford for this gem to slip out and make all the rest of the Disnetazon slop look as bad as it is. 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 13/07/2025I had heard that iOS 26 Liquid Glass was a bit of a car crash, but seeing is believing. If beta 3 is an improvement, I’d hate to experience the initial ’vision’. My phone is now physically too hot to touch in some places, the scrolling stutters, and all some of my app icons are blurry. 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 29/06/2025I’m watching North by Northwest and notice Cary Grant’s voice is weirdly familiar. Then it hits me, it’s from ‘Some like it Hot’ - the millionaire. But Grant isn’t in the film. Well apparently Tony Curtis had permission to do an imitation of Grant for the character! Great impression. 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 29/06/2025Just watching LauraK on BBC and saw @vicderbyshire.bsky.social interview someone. I’ve never been able to understand why this woman isn’t running the whole show over at the BBC. She’s so brilliant and tough and prepared. 010
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 28/04/2025‘Sugar tax could be applied to milkshakes under Treasury proposals’. Well, that’ll turn the economy around. Honestly, the lack of imagination in the Treasury is breathtaking. 000
jimmoores.bsky.social @jimmoores.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Appalled but not surprised by the cowardice of Keir Starmer on being ‘really pleased’ about the abandonment of the rights of trans women. I hate to think how he’d act with a small majority. 121
