Oh wait… I know this one… it's "because it is COLD" #bbc dumbing down journalism for clicks is getting pretty tedious

I will say that the Apple N1 WiFi chip is astonishingly good. Same speed test from 17 pro max vs 15 pro max to the same test server 60 seconds apart, both phones right next to each other and on the same AP. First photo is 17 pro max… #apple #iphone

I love that Zelensky has received such a huge welcome from us here in the UK as he arrived at Downing Street, and that he will meet King Charles tomorrow - that’s a definite bop on the nose/two fingers up in the air to Trump 😁

It's good to see a real president back in the Oval Office, just a shame he has to go back to Ukraine

So, Slava Ukraini!? Amirite?

Well well well… @pinksky.app is rather good. Lot of promise in this early version and feels very “familiar” 😁

So looks like it’s incumbent on all of us in the UK and EU to help our Canadian friends by buying products made in Canada, agreed? #trade #ustradewar

Coffee shop loyalty card with a rude message

Travelling home from London (actually not because of some wind in the UK) and my wallet had the most appropriate message for me…

Is it just me or has Facebook become nothing but a timeline of sponsored posts and suggested accounts? Tedious doesn’t even cut it…

Very lucky to wake up to this weather today in Spain. A few days of rest and relaxation ahead. #mojacar #sunshine

I’m positive I’ve said this before but it’s worth saying again… Yellowstone is the finest TV series I’ve ever watched. And I’ve watched a LOT of TV in my 54 years on this earth! Until Yellowstone came along the best imho was The West Wing - and that was a LONG time ago.

re:Invent 2024! I got some t-shirts made up to bring a little humour to the proceedings and as always I’ll be kitted out with my shoes and watch strap in AWS colours. If the announcements of yesterday are anything to go by, this week is going to be pretty incredible. Let’s go!!! #aws #awsreinvent

To mark #AWS Lambda's 10th anniversary, I'm sharing the internal PR/FAQ doc that launched it. It's a rare glimpse into the customer challenges we observed at the time and our vision for serverless computing back in the 2010s. Read it here: www.allthingsdistributed.com/2024/11/aws-...

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

How the foundation of Bluesky was built is so crucial for the future of social — so much so that @rmac.bsky.social & I wrote a whole chapter about it in our book. From day 1, @jay.bsky.team was insistent on independence, a decision that was extraordinarily prescient. (1/2)
