This isn’t meant to be hounding but I’d rather be without the “better content” at all if it means I need to fund Musk at all. I’ll get my “action” elsewhere. 😅

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons for more walkable streets.

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

I’ve been spending evenings building the train service tracking app of my (admittedly kinda lame) dreams. Live activities, signal data for exact locations, even works on your watch! Want to try it out?

Native apps were ALWAYS better. Always always always. Especially when it came to a11y. Choosing cross-platform has always been a fudge to save money at the expense of the user.

It's quite hard to overstate how fucking awful Meetup is now that Bending Spoons own it. I want to attend a 2 hour meetup where we play the piano to each other. No I do not want a £10.99 subscription. No, I do not want your app.

Most of my charity’s donors are older, and getting them to donate online is hard enough. This stuff just leaves a nasty taste which then I have to deal with as treasurer. JustGiving are full of this dark pattern stuff and I hate it.

Totally agree! Bugfixes and root-cause analyses are faster, and better now. But there's so much more to fix!

“This is about equipping people for the world they are in, whether or not we like the world we are becoming,” feels like something Sam Altman would say, not the leader of Birmingham’s biggest University. University should be about equipping adults for the world, and to help them change it!

When blackshirts are marching through the streets of Dover and Portsmouth, the focus shouldn’t be on the disruption they cause, but on their fascist ideology and deliberate intimidation of migrants and people of colour. [1/2]

A large group of co-ordinated, masked men blockading a piece of significant infrastructure is a security threat and should be dealt with as one. There should also be serious questions about why police/intelligence services didn't pick up on it in advance.

Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns

Just in case you were wondering, if you’re the guy that doesn’t want any sort of governance in a project you’re running (software or otherwise), you’re probably the reason that project needs good governance.

The second job I ever applied to was Harvest back in 2013. I wasn’t a good “culture fit” but the team there seemed genuinely passionate about their craft and their product. What a shame… www.bbc.com/news/article...
