@Battlefield Release notes say "Battlefield 6 and REDSEC Season 4 begins on July 21 at 4 a.m. PT (12 p.m. UTC)". Well, which is it? 4 a.m. PT is actually 11 a.m. UTC.

I see that the airline industry learned nothing from the Y2K problem. I guess we'll end up having a Y21C problem in 2100. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Got back a few days ago from 3 weeks in Florida. Wow, it was hot and humid! We had an amazing time and did the main touristy things: Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, water parks, Kennedy Space Center. Flight home beat Hurricane Idalia by just a few hours.

Hey @PlayStation, the SSL certificate on playstation.com expired last night, leading to error messages in browsers. You might want to get someone to take a look at that.

@BenberryPi Maybe they're more misused than unhelpful, so I may have missed the mark on what you were asking.

@BenberryPi Got a couple. 1. "REST service" being used to describe pretty much any web service; and 2. Calling any Internet connection "WiFi". I hear lots of people saying the WiFi is down when their ISP is having an outage.

@SausageMaterial @elonmusk @wholemars Doesn't this already exist, exactly as you've described? "Lists" from the main menu.

@theslickmeister @CaptainBinky Betamax was obviously better than VHS, and Mercurial > git. But I'm a little surprised by your take on Mastodon. The servers are all federated, right?

@theslickmeister I'm a big fan of having enough confidence in your tests and devops processes that you can confidently check-in at 2am on a Sunday morning and have that rolled out to production automatically there and then. That's the dream.

Sending #hugops to @Malwarebytes who look like they've just accidentally blocked access to Google for their users.

In two completely unrelated incidents, I have been attacked by birds twice today. A domesticated parrot and a wild duck. Here's a picture of said vicious duck.
