Can’t remember where/when/who I stole this one from, but it has found its way into many presentation slide decks since

Still trying to do my bit….

The irony, barely a week after calling out bribes in return for fake TrustPilot reviews, they email to inform that a genuine review for a company that went above and beyond to look after their customer.

Sorry Hachette, I tried to tell the world how awesome you were, but TrustPilot said no....

Random spam (lure: @netflix.com renewal failure) hit my inbox this morning whilst I had nothing better to do, so I poked about.

Actually really like this; to sell the con, the landing page is a branded faked @cloudflare.social capture page.

This new, new? Or have I just been aware from analysis?

Not sure how much you can trust TrustPilot when reviews are bought with bribes?…

When did @sandiskstorage.bsky.social start making drives out of cardboard (it seems)?

Old faithful has finally started to fail me after many years. Feels solid, robust and reliable.

It’s replacement? Bends when you pick it up… think it’s relegated to a throwaway drive as don’t trust it long term

Morning coffee in hand as normality returns after another great @bsidesleeds.bsky.social

Theme of closing panel discussions was Community - for me, encapsulated by meeting Mr Awkward Hugs himself @jaysonstreet.bsky.social IRL ~2 decades after sharing random various messages in online forums

1million percent…..

Does anyone even bother opening the article when grandpa trumpet threatens a new tariff these days?

You know it’ll be both ineffective, and reversed whenever the next squirrel passes the Oval Office to distract him

Happy to depressed in two emails.

Why do folks still trust Evri to deliver? I might as well start writing the complaint email now, every delivery fails.

As I get older, there’s less things in life that I fear.

But some things still send a shiver down my spine with gnawing sense of dread and impending doom….
