Virgin offer the same package as mine to new customers for ยฃ29/month as well.

Hate hate *hate* this culture of screwing over loyal customers. Telecoms/utility companies in the UK all need lining up against a wall and executing for their crimes

Literally this. I pay a tenner a month for VOXI.

Absolutely out of their minds

I contacted Virgin to try and get the cost of my broadband down from ยฃ50odd per month to something *sane* and the first solution they offered me is an offer to pay ยฃ77 per month instead, for broadband and a SIM card.

Like, have I had a stroke or something?

Clearly some clarity is required: it came out of the *cooking process* like soft, tomato flavoured jelly.

I thought it would be smart to add some
fibre supplement to my big batch of tomato soup and I clearly added too much because itโ€™s come out like soft, tomato flavoured jelly ๐Ÿฅฒ

Canโ€™t begin to communicate my sadness

And maybe a long, meandering driveway lined with oak trees, surfaced with pristine gravel which crackles satisfyingly underneath the tyres of arriving guestsโ€™ vehicles.

Thatโ€™s it.

Thereโ€™s very little that I feel is incomplete about my life, Iโ€™m very fortunate to want for virtually nothing.

However, one of those giant American-style refrigerators? Yes.

Oh and Mielรฉ appliances throughout. That as well.

Google Gemini has a new โ€œGuided Learningโ€ mode which Iโ€™ve found pretty useful for some non-coding subjects, but I suspect it would be really good for something like this

I sometimes install Facebook to see whatโ€™s new since the last time I logged in (probably 6 months ago) and then Iโ€™m quickly reminded about why itโ€™s deleted in the first place. Vile platform.

If theyโ€™re using the official HMRC OAuth SDK then yeah. Otherwise if that username and password is just being submitted via a form to their own server and then something in the background is logging in on your behalf, then that info could *absolutely* be horribly misused/logged.

I canโ€™t check ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

It *could* be. Depends how exactly theyโ€™re interacting with the government website

12.08.2025 10:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

If it was via some sort of OAuth setup with scopes, Iโ€™d be a bit less concerned. But outright asking people to hand over their government credentials? ๐Ÿซจ
