@theguardian.com Remind me, where’s the box on this page that says, I already pay you £18 / month and here’s my subscriber number? This is fifth rate UI and sixth rate UX.

@theguardian.com I have a subscription already, but when I try to access an article someone sent me on my computer I get this screen. Where is the UI option that says “I already pay you £18/ month”? It’s just a terrible UI.

@theguardian.com I have a subscription, but your user interface won’t let me enter this anywhere. Terrible, terrible design.

If I’d just taken a beating at the hands of some judges I might just issue a short statement saying we were reviewing their comments. But there goes @ukhomeoffice.bsky.social , in a big hole and digging as fast as they can.

Shocking slug on this FT article—because this could also just as easily be “Civil rights in UK”. Or “Democracy in UK”. A sub-editor needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

In which @dropbox.com seems to be telling me that they are limiting support for the current version of MacOS, given that my Mac is on version 15.7. It’s not surprising that the word “enshittification” was a word of the year last year.

How do you know when the @ukhomeoffice.bsky.social is talking nonsense? A spokesperson opens its mouth and their lips move.

This is the reason: the gap between migration rhetoric and the economic and social facts can never be filled. publications.iom.int/system/files...
A loop which shows why there is always a gap on the rhetoric of migration, and the policy, which can never be filled.
