@joplinapp.bsky.social here was me thinking this was a fresh approach to tooling, away from the sickness of big tech!!!

@joplinapp.bsky.social oh I see, this is some evil to make me upgrade further? You tell me after I have passed the limit that it's passed the limit, but I have no means to access and clear out and decide if I need to upgrade - have I got that right?

Honestly when do we get to the point where we recognise the US is not playing a fair game and the UN should no longer be housed there?

A lot also die younger, without health care and if you asked them - what % do you think would say 'prefer to retire'?

that's a better social contract!

People pay for their retirement then get taxed on top of taxed income. Nobody benefits from a new generations wealth on their pension pay outs. The whole system is a catastrophic disaster. Everyone should pay in for themselves & those in their life cohort, not another generation.

Can we stop advocating for people to work further into their 70s. It's utterly inhumane & disportionately affects the poorer majority.

Yes, the entire system is broken. But, we should all be seeking ways for people to retire early. With some energy left to enjoy some life not treading the machine.

This is amazing. I've been mulling this idea for years, because of paywalls. When are the big guns - @financialtimes.com looking at you - going to adapt to this reality?

It learns - and continues to learn - how someone communicates, whether that’s through a small movement, a sound, or a look so that a person doesn’t have to learn how to operate a complex system to express themselves.

Something to watch if this is an area of interest.

A colleague is working on A3CP - it helps translate a disabled person’s unique, personal communication style into messages that others can understand.

I'd love to write that on LinkedIn - but professionalism ya know!

It should have never been taken away!

I think there's a mismatch between the role title and the role. It overselling responsibility in the wrong direction. You might want to consider something like: Head of Digital Platforms & Insights

where can we provide feedback of 'broken' things?

No real pain if I get priced out of that shoe monstrosity!
