What’s with the daily self-help listicles on BBC News? They can hardly claim it’s a slow news day.

Heading to Leeds for a Last of the Summer Wine tribute act with @stevefaulkner.bsky.social and @patrickhlauke.bsky.social. No bathtubs on wheels this time. Probably.
Compo, Foggy, and Clegg in Last of the Summer Wine. Don’t ask me who’s who.

While the options on this relentless pop-up are fairly logical, I can’t count the number of times I’ve hit ‘Continue’ to try and dismiss it. 😑
A pop-up that frequently appears when using Firefox on iOS. It reads “Try more ways to search in the Google app. Search with your voice, camera and more.” There are then two options: “Stay in browser” and “Continue”. The latter is more visually prominent, tempting me to hit it every damn time!
