jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 09/07/2026I’m not kidding when I say that all work in the office just ground to a halt for a full minute while we all watched The Blimp fly by 040
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 13/10/2025Seriously considering dressing up as Bioshock's dancing baguette boy this Halloween 040
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 07/09/2025Still, nice of Jay Rayner to have reviewed the experience of going on a date with me 040
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 04/12/2024as is tradition my Spotify Wrapped is too embarrassing to share in full, but this one slide made me laugh so I guess you guys can see it 160
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 21/11/2024Please BlueSky, I beg of you, let me selectively turn off at least some notifications 51063
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 15/11/2024In contrast, I’m not sure about this supposed Mark Hamill with a misspelled handle 010
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 15/11/2024It’s kinda a shame that the most foolproof way to verify a celeb account’s authenticity is to check whether their official Twitter accounts point to their BlueSky handle (redhour.com gives a 403 error) 162
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 15/11/2024I do love how rattled Meta’s execs have been by BlueSky’s surge over the last couple of days 3121
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 14/11/2024Here's a dumb thing I'm learning today: ChatGPT sucks shit at making ASCII art All I wanted was a fun header that spelled out my own name 260

jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 12/11/2024Has anyone written about how Threads users are seemingly posting news as screenshots to get around the whole “Threads hates hyperlinks” thing? 5527
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 08/10/2024re the rumored Apple Mac event later this month: just putting it out there that the USB-C deadline switch is coming up in December 2024 and Apple is still using Lightning on its keyboard, mouse, and trackpad www.theverge.com/2022/12/8/23... 020
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 30/09/2024Surprised that the Bluetooth SIG isn't making a bigger deal that it's working on new low-latency tech for gaming controllers. Can't wait to leave my 2.4GHz USB dongle life behind me 000
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 26/09/2024Given it’s impossible to trust anything Musk says in public these days, it seems pretty embarrassing for Hunt to believe he’s telling the truth here www.bbc.com/news/article... 043
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 29/08/2024Just out of curiosity, I calculated what my council tax would be under the rumored changes and found that on a monthly basis it would be within 25p of what I'm currently paying. Which is... interesting news.sky.com/story/what-c... 000
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 23/08/2024Oh no, there's a serious risk of me getting my hopes up over this www.msn.com/en-gb/news/u... 010
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 17/08/2024I’ve just come across the Cut’s (excellent) June article on celibacy, and am trying to work out what the male equivalent of these terms might be www.thecut.com/article/wome... A friend has just suggested “tit-total,” but personally I’m fond of “boobsober” 200

jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 26/05/2023oh hmm, I'm seeing bellingcat's main account appearing in search as normal? though I agree that Musk's "psyops" comments were ridiculous (also hey! long time no appear-in-student-play-together!) 110
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 26/05/2023I shouldn't be shocked at this point, but it feels unbelievably petty that Twitter is intentionally limiting searches for the official NPR account just because it had the temerity to stop tweeting 120
jon.porter @jonporter.uk · 24/05/2023The second little guy is a lot more skittish and harder to photograph 100
