WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Come on Microsoft, every other video player in the whole wide world uses the *space bar* for play/pause. Who on earth thought that "Alt + K" would be a good choice?!

Likewise (in other apps) the refusal to accept that zooming is
done with the +/- keys.

WOW. Posting also to the 🧪 feed

They could start by actually supporting device rotation properly in their app - I'm tired of vertical content in a horizontal window in a vertical screen

Wow, @ben-jamez.bsky.social really is a star with his summaries of Batteries, Hydrogen, Fusion and SAF (not to mention his breakdown of electricity bills)

Nice. Any further thoughts on the FLOPS of an atom bomb?

Also, almost every single post contains a spelling or grammatical mistake. It would literally cost £20/month to solve that problem. And it doesn't look great.

I know that BBC is not on Bluesky, but I wish they'd sort their app. Showing portrait video in a landscape slot which doesn't respect device orientation isn't great. @bbcstever.bsky.social

Whoever decided that the power button on the Microsoft Surface should be a normal keyboard key, right next to the backspace key, should be taken out and... given a stiff talking to. "Ooo, I can squeeze it in there, it will look neat".

Apparently a Conservative from Valletta fearful of flooding, stopped investing in a high-rise garage and instead built a ship for his koi collection.

Not amazingly impressed by Gemini so far - offered help setting-up a Firebase demo project, but within a couple of minutes (and no direct input from me) the project was in a state where it threw errors which Gemini claimed it could fix, but repeatedly couldn't.

YouTube video by Cleaning Up Podcast How Solar Is Saving Babies’ Lives in Sierra Leone — Ep204: Project Bo

We've figured out why our Sierra Leone solar vid has so few views. YouTube shadow-banned it as political content. We only found out because, in desperation, we tried to promote it. Apparently saving babies' lives is political in the US today. We have appealed, but WTAF!

Today marks one year since Israeli military airstrikes in Gaza killed seven of our World Central Kitchen colleagues:

Damian Soból.

Andrius Kubilius, the European Commissioner for Defence Industry and Space:

“There are 450 million Europeans. We should not be crying out for 340 million Americans to defend us against 140 million Russians, who are not even able to defeat 38 million Ukrainians.

Nice. Can you add a nuclear bomb on there too please Matt? If it takes a lot of computation to simulate a bomb, then presumably in some sense that computation happens very quickly when the bomb goes off. The "per second" bit gets quite exciting.

The "Designer" feature in PowerPoint is the new Clippy. Pops-up uninvited (shunting your mere work to the side) and makes a set of ghastly suggestions. Can't seem to turn it off permanently.

Make Putin Pay People everywhere are urging Europe to use frozen Russian assets for Ukraine

If Trump was President in 1940

What Trump/Vance did today by attacking Zelensky using Putin's talking points would be like in 1940 FDR openly mocking Winston Churchill using Hitler's talking points as the Nazis bombed London. This was TREASONOUS!

With the US now voting with Russia, Belarus and N Korea at the UN, this is a good time to read or re-read the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. Russia, UK *and US* made clear commitments to Ukraine in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons. Six bullet points, read them. treaties.un.org/doc/Publicat...
