Well, guess checking in is optional then :p

A screenshot of the "check-in" section of British Airway's booking management site. It reads:

Online check-in not available.
Self-service check-in not available.
Airport desk check-in not available.

I love nonsensical SMSes from my mobile phone carrier

A screenshot of an SMS sent from EE, that reads "Hi from EE.
Thanks."

"I have therefore enquired how many current members are individuals, and we have discovered only one. We hope that can be resolved by agreement with the member concerned."

Gods, I love experiencing Nextdoor solely through the junk they email to me

A screenshot of a single Gmail email row. It reads: "VERY BAD GOVERNMENT DECISION. WHY DON'T THEY EVER THINK THINGS THROUGH AND THE CONSEQUENCES?" in all caps.

Yeah, and users of alternative apps like Graysky just get a likes tab on profiles since it's possible in the design of Bluesky

Oh no, I've been made ｗｉｄｅ

The Bluesky notifications UI, showing Jaz liking my previous skeet. The photo attached to the previous skeet has been expanded to the wrong aspect ratio so I am wider than I should be.

Sleepy but need to play video games

Selfie of me sticking my tongue out a bit. I'm wearing a "1% battery" shirt from B-Side Label. There's an IKEA stuffed bear in the background.

It's laundry day, so I don't really have much left to wear...

Me, in bed, wearing a Gengar onesie. Gengar's grin is covering the upper part of my face. I've stuck my tongue out slightly.

Riot Games hire some copyeditors challenge (impossible)

A picture of the "The Collector" item in game. It has the subheading "Exexcute Enemies", with an extra x thrown in for some reason.

Huh, this is lower than I was expecting. A lot of people I follow on here seem to be in the 20ks. ...which I suppose makes sense.

Well this is a new one - everyone on my team got an S+. I expect League of Legends matchmaking to punish me heavily for this infraction for the next few days.

Screenshot of the League of Legends chat box. It reads "undefined earned an S+ on Ahri. undefined earned an S+ on Amumu. You earned an S+ on Cho'Gath. undefined earned an S+ on Sona. undefined earned an S+ on Malzahar."

why is my network performance so bad _checks the link speed_ ...oh

A screenshot of "ethtool". The supported link modes range from 10baseT, 100baseT, to 1000baseT at a mix of half and full duplex.

The currently-in-use link mode is 10Mbps full duplex.

I'm so curious what happens if you tell Dell you're using their servers to build Weapons of Mass Destruction or for Embargo/Sanction ...not curious enough to do it this time around, though.

The "New owner details" page from the Dell ownership transfer system, indicating that three PowerEdge R350s are being transferred.

There is an intended use dropdown, with the following options:
Select (highlighted)
Home
Office
Military (including Paramilitary, National policy, National guard)
Space/Aerospace/UAV
Missile/Missile Technology
Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
Chemical/Biological
Nuclear
Embargo/Sanction
Oil & Gas

Nintendo, it is _very funny_ that you would announce that you're adding passkey support to Nintendo Accounts by sending an email entitled "Update to the Nintendo Account Privacy Policy" (link goes to accounts.nintendo.com/passkey)

A screenshot of Gmail, of an email entitled "Update to the Nintendo Account Privacy Policy". The email begins "We would like to inform you about an update to the Nintendo Account Privacy Policy." and ends with "This is why we have implemented a new passwordless method to sign in to your Nintendo Account more efficiently and securely, via passkeys. Using this new method is optional. You can register and manage passkeys for your Nintendo Account in the passkey settings."

How do bounding boxes work

A screenshot of the fake New York Times Bluesky account which has been flagged for impersonation. The text stating that falls out of the right hand side of the box.
